I thought you'd like to know.

What's all the wire for?

It's Ruf Henshaw's.

He uh, he owns the Triple X Ranch out here.

He's gonna try to fence in the squatters and

small cowmen. They're not gonna to like it.

You blame 'em?

- You taking sides already?

You see, the titles aren't clear on more

than half this land around here, 'n ...

Henshaw is trying to grab a lot

of acreage don't belong to him

or there's some question about.

On the other hand, Sam Baldwin, Bert

Flynn and some of the other squatters have...

registered brands to cover his, like...

Four Diamonds, fits right over Triple X.

The same old story huh.

-Yep, and in the same old way, men'll die.

Alec... I need some help.

Would you be interested?

I'm lookin' for a nice quite job.

- $ 150 a month?

Better than you can do wrestling cattle.

Yeah, but cows don't shoot at you.

Come on .

Whose side the Sheriff on?

Well, that's a good question.

If I said I'd stay with the side that was right,

it wouldn't be much of an answer...

because there's right on both sides.

The way I look at it, it's up to the court

to decide on the right and the wrong

'Til then, my job's to keep peace.

So... I'm in the middle.

-It's a good way to get run over.

Son...

if you really want a job around

here, you don't have much choice.

The little outfits can't afford you, and

all Henshaw'll want is your gun.

Not that he isn't pretty good with a gun himself...

he just doesn't like to get his hands dirty.

Why don't you come up to the house tonight for supper?

We'll talk about it.

Best invitation I had all day.

Who's he? Never seen him before.

I don't know.

Hello, Alec.

Am I early?

-No, right on the dot. Come on in.

Give me your hat.

Hey, you do alright for yourself.

-It's not bad, huh?

I don't blame you for likin' your job.

I haven't see a place like this since I was a kid.

Good evening!

Alec, this is my daughter, Caroline.

Honey, this is Alec Longmire.

Hello!

-How do you do?

Well, I didn't expect this.

I had you down for an old bachelor.

Oh no, not me!

Dad tells me you may come to work for him.

Well, it's his idea.

What do you think about it?

Hm, deputies come and go.

-Hey now, you're a big help.

I've seen a lot of them.

Ready for supper?

I uh, really made an impression on her.

Didn't I?

She's a little touchy about gunfighters.

Oh no,I don't think you'll need those to eat with. Come on.

Thanks.

Well, there's nothing like home cooking

and this is the best.

Thank you.

No more for me.

- Uh, can I help you with anything?

No, I can manage.

I wipe dishes like no one you ever saw.

You're as handy with a towel

as you are with a gun huh?

Like a cigar??
