So, Lucille takes a train

on up to Santa Fe,

while her husband, Levi, while being

too prideful to accept the

Governor's largess of a few train tickets

decides to travel by way of a

buckboard with his brother Jacob.

Only Jacob and Levi

ain't no Kit Carsons.

And that's why I'm here.

Geography.

Pardon me, Sheriff, but,

I don't understand.

Mr. Josiah knows what I'm

talkin' about, don't you Josie?

Tables from Honduras, china

from England, Salt Lake City...

you know all about geography.

No, I'm afraid, Sheriff,

you've lost me completely.

May I borrow your knife?

No, no, that big one there behind you.

Geography.

Tucumcari.

Santa Fe.

Right in the middle here,

you got the Holy Land.

Now, Jacob and Levi woulda had

to travel straight through here

to get from Tucumcari...

to Santa Fe.

All Lucille and Governor

want to know is why Levi

and his brother never showed up.

You done with that?

There's a dog outside there looks

like he's missin' a couple o' meals.

- Thank you kindly, Josie... damned good meat.

- Sheriff.

I lead a God fearing, peaceful,

and united community here.

And I'm quite sure you do not want

to make me your enemy.

It seems like I already have.

How are you, Sheriff?

Got me a new job.

- 'Scuse me.

- Good morning, ma'am.

- Your horse is drinking outta my trough.

- That appears to be the case.

Well, there's a creek right over there where

it can drink until its heart's content.

I don't think Charlie

was aware of that fact.

Ya know, when he's thirsty,

he kinda goes where he wants to.

I didn't think your horse would mind much.

Well, I do, so, like, ask first.

Well, you're absolutely right, ma'am,

but Charlie's ignorant

of such formalities as the human race.

So, please accept my

apologies on his behalf.

- My name's Sheriff Cornelius Jackson.

- I know who you are.

I think I should be flattered?

- You hung my father.

- Pardon me, ma'am,

but I've never hung anyone.

They sorta hang themselves.

Is that what you tell yourself

to ease your conscience?

The judges sentence the guilty.

I either shoot 'em or arrest

'em, dependin' on the circumstances.

That's untrue.

- Who was your father?

- Wesley Parker.

Wesley, Wesley Parker.

- So your mother would be...

- Yes, she would be.

- And that would make you...

- Mrs. Sarah Ramirez.

That's enough about the past.

I'm looking for these two men.

Levi and Jacob Webb, they woulda passed by

these parts a couple of weeks ago.

- Haven't seen 'em.

- What about your husband?

- He's not here.

- When do you expect his return.

Soon.

Well, appears Charlies's had his fill.

Thank you kindly, ma'am.

And if you do happen to Jacob and Levi,
