I will, I will take care

of her, but I don't need you.

I hate you and I'm gonna

keep on hating you.

And someday I'm gonna kill you.

Just like you did to my dad.

In the back.

Mrs. Grey, we'd move out

any time you finished eating.

We're finished.

You'll make it alone from here.

Where are you going?

I told you that. They likely waiting

for me when I got there.

They wouldn't have to know.

I'll tell them.

Take care of your mother.

Goodbye, Ms. Grey.

Goodbye.

Chad?

Give me the gun, Chad.

Do you believe him?

I believe what your father said.

Sometimes things can

look one way,

and turn out to be

all together something else.

Give me the gun.

Hello!

I'm Mrs. Grey,

the Comanches burned our house.

Get Chad inside.

Get on the wall!

Who's in charge here?

I am.

Hello, Gar.

I heard you were dead on

the bottom of that canyon.

It seems it was wrong.

How soon they are

gonna try us again?

There is no telling, they've

got everything in their way.

They won't be in any hurry

to get it over with.

We thought we would be safe here.

We started from Largo with

15 wagons. The whole town.

That's all that's left.

You'd think they've had

enough killing by now.

What are we gonna do?

The only thing we can do...

Bury the dead and wait.

Gar...

Just for the record,

if we get out of here...

you're going back with me.

Really quiet, aren't they?

Too quiet.

Mrs. Grey?

Yes.

Gar told me about your husband.

He told you?

Yes, ma'am.

He said us how you thought he did it.

A Comanche arrow killed

your husband, Mrs. Grey.

Gar traded clothes with him

to keep him from hanging.

What about the dead man in Largo?

That's all together different.

When Gar Davis first came to Largo

he was making his way with a gun.

For four years he was either

in trouble or in jail,

and mostly both.

Then he met a woman.

Talk had it they were

gonna get married.

Gar even went to work,

outside the town.

At the end of the week

he'd coming to be with her.

But in between, well...

She didn't act like

a woman intended.

There were those who told her that

she was gonna get herself in trouble,

carrying on behind Gar's back.

Taking up with this man,

and then the next.

But she wouldn't listen.

One night she got herself hurt.

The fellow she was running

with had been drinking.

He got mean, he beat her so

she could hardly walk.

When Gar found out about it

she lied to him,

just as she's been doing all along.

She told him how the fellow had no

call to do what he had done to her.

Gar believed her.

He swore he'd kill him.

I could have stooped him, Ms. Grey,

but how do you tell a man

that his woman is no good.

How do you tell a man?

Mr. Davis.
