A Man Called Sledge

Don't anybody move.

Back.

I'm gonna have to call you.

Looks okay.

My two pairs aren't good enough.

It's all yours.

Now I'm gonna try to get my money

back with a little five card draw.

What'll it be?

- Two bottles of whiskey.

- You must be staying for a while.

Well, long enough for him

to buy the second round.

- That'll be $ 10.

- Cowboy...

...you looking for something?

Oh, shut up, Liz.

Hey, I never did see what happened.

How did the driver

get his head blown off?

- Pure accident.

- They'll blame it on us.

I just hate to see a man

get it like that.

- No reason. No reason at all.

- Let's have another deck over here.

Yeah, might change my luck.

Ain't gonna help much.

Get another bottle of whiskey

over at that table.

Looks like a big game.

Big game.

I think I'll go over and take a look.

You never just look

and you never win.

You're the worst poker player

I ever saw, Mallory.

Well, not tonight, because tonight

I feel lucky. You'll see.

- Mind if I sit in?

- Sit down.

Yeah, sit down, stranger.

- May be just the man we're looking for.

- Come on, I feel real lucky tonight.

Sledge, you made it.

- Ria.

- Sledge.

I been waiting here so long.

I thought-

I thought you'd never show up.

Will three sixes do it?

Not unless you can pair them up

with a couple of ladies.

You gave me the jack I needed.

That makes three.

Well, that lets me out.

I'm out.

Elizabeth, how about you

and me going upstairs.

I just made a killing.

It came from downstairs.

Don't go down.

Sledge.

Hold it.

Now, you leave that gun in its holster

and come down here slow and easy.

Looks like the only way

he's gonna make it is to fall down.

Your friend had some bad luck.

Unless you want to join him,

you'll ride out of here right now.

You heard him, get.

Well, look at that.

Lover-boy ain't finished yet.

I seen it, mister...

...murder and self-defense.

Hey!

What-?

- No.

- Get inside.

Wait.

- Why are you following me?

- I wasn't. I swear I wasn't.

You know who I am, don't you?

There's only one name

comes to my mind...

...after what I saw

there at the 3 W's...

...and that's Luther Sledge.

And you say you wasn't following me?

I've done a lot of things

in my time, mister...

...but getting the price

on a man's head ain't one of them.

Well, we'll just make sure of that.

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

Old man, you stink right now...

...so I'm gonna see to it

that you don't turn me in.

I'm gonna hang you up

and age you some more.

You gotta believe me,

it's the gold I've been following...

...about $300,000 worth.

In that prison there

is where they keep it overnight.

Open the gates!

Open her up. Open her up.

- What's that about?

- It's the gold. They're here, I told you.

Now cut me down.

Come on, I gotta see it!

They're here. I gotta see it. I-

I missed it.

I missed it.

How much gold did you say

they carry in that wagon?

Enough for a man to die on,

more than that, maybe.

Old man, how long has it been

since you've had a hot meal...

...some whiskey and a woman?

All in one night?

Not for a long time.

Well, if your heart will stand it,

you're coming with me.

Come on, girls, sing out.

- Get me out of here!

- Here, I'll give you a hand, Jade.

Can't even stand

on your own two feet.

Give me a hand, Millie.

Wait will I get my hands

on whoever did that.

Sledge, Sledge, Sledge,

you're just in time to see...

...what these animals

have done to my house.

I can't take it anymore.

I just can't take it.

Oh, calm down now, Jade, honey.

What'd they do?

They made a hole in my floor
