Everyone say so.

-But he's still alive.

Wild Bill musta missed.

Not him.

You hear lots of things.

Who's that?

Hi.

Hi.

Say, thats a nice rifle you got there.

Thanks.

How's the huntin' around here?

I do not know.

We just practice.

Did you see the way he walks?

Like a cat.

It's a sign he' plenty fast.

What's the matter?

Didn't you ever see a Gila monster before?

Yeah, but not in a saloon.

There's a case full of Rattlers

on the other side of the door.

Harry, give the man a drink.

-Sure.

Eddie Feltzer here is a good businessman.

If a drunk staggers in and leans

up against one of those cases...

9 out of 10 times he'll turn right

around and buy himself another drink.

My name is Murphy.

Jade Murphy.

I'm, uh, Alec Longmire, sheriff.

Alec Longmire huh??

I've heard about of you.

Now you'll go back to your office, go through

a pile of dodgers and see if I'm wanted huh.

Yeah, will I'll find ya?

Let's go see.

Finish your drink.

My Pop said he's tired of keepin' the

store and listening to women talk.

One of these days he's gonna take off.

I mean if Mom left him.

-Just across the street there.

-Hi, Mr. Murphy.

- How're you men? How ya doin'?

-Oh, just fine.

You don't suppose Jade's arresting 'im?

We don't have much trouble around here,

that is, from outsiders.

Trouble's the one thing I'm not lookin' for.

Well, you've got a reputation mister.

Call a man a dog, someone

throws a rock at 'im.

To save some time Sheriff I'm not wanted,

as far as I know, anywhere.

You're runnin' though.

Anybody likely to show up lookin' for ya?

If I knew that, I'd live a lot longer.

Wouldn't I?

No, I'm lookin' for a job.

Maybe Durango's the place.

Man's word's

good enough for me.

If I don't find a job, I'll move on.

Fair enough.

-I need a room.

Well, we got the Plains Hotel up on the corner.

Cheap and clean.

Besides, it's the only one we've got.

Come on, I'll introduce you.

Thanks.

'Hi ya, Mr. Murphy.

-Hello men.

Say, I just said hello to you.

What are ya up to?

Uh, who's your friend, Mr. Murphy?

Oh, sorry I didn't introduced myself gentlemen.

My name is Longmire.

You're not Mike Longmire?

No, I'm his brother, Alec.

I knew Mike's real fast,

Mr. Longmire?

Mike's dead.

When I grow up, I'm gonna

be the fastest draw in Texas.

Some of the best men I know

can't draw a lick...

and some of the worst can

outdraw me from here to Sunday.

Now, what do ya suppose

he mean by that?

Folks say a lot of things I do not understand.

-That was a nice thing you said to the boys.

-Aw, they probably didn't get it.

Some folks feel a man can't change

his ways, once the stamps on him

I am not one of them.
