Terror in a Texas Town Page #3

You are a good friend.

Stay in the shed and listen.

Your name Hansen?

Ja.

Sven Hansen.

You read English, don't you?

Maybe better than you read Swedish.

Good.

Read this.

Then sign it.

I don't know you.

I don't want your paper.

I guess that means

you and I are gonna have a little trouble.

Because if you don't sign that paper,

I'm going to have to kill you.

Get off my land.

What are you doing with that?

I don't know.

Is it true, what Pepe says

about senor Hansen?

It is true.

We stay out of this thing.

Stay out of it, Rosa?

How can we?

He was our friend.

No.

One cannot stay out of things

when a friend has been killed.

We must tell what we saw.

Tell what we saw?

Senor Brady's house

has been burned down.

Senor Hansen is killed.

What happens next, we do not know.

But this I do know.

Your friend is dead and cannot be helped.

This child that comes is alive

and can be helped.

You will say nothing

about what you have seen.

You will tell no one.

This child will be born in peace.

In peace, amarme.

Here we are, partner.

Coming into Prairie City.

Just another name

for God's own free country.

Honey...

What fun do you get out of just

sitting around here all day playing cards?

Gives me something to think about.

You're losing your nerve.

I can tell.

Something's eating at you.

You're crazy.

You've already done the job you came to do.

It isn't safe to stay around here like this.

I want you to get out of this state.

Deal.

What'll it be, mister?

They tell me I can get a wagon here,

with a horse.

How long will you be holding it?

How long?

I don't know.

I'm just going out to the Hansen farm.

- The Hansen farm?

- Ja.

What would you be doing out there?

I'm going to see my father, Sven Hansen.

Your father?

I think maybe you better

go see the sheriff, mister.

The sheriff?

Sheriff Stoner, across the street.

Why?

I don't know.

Just think you'd better, that's all.

Is he in trouble?

He's dead.

Buy you a drink.

No.

Did you know him?

Not very well.

Not very long.

But you did know him.

Yeah.

How did he die?

Come on. Sit down and I'll tell you about it.

This is Molly. My name's Johnny Crale.

My name is George Hansen, Mrs. Crale.

Sit down.

I would like to know. How did he die?

Somebody shot him.

Why would anyone shoot a man

like my father?

Maybe he had a disagreement with them.

Maybe your father had something

the other man wanted.

When did this happen?

Let me see. Tuesday... Three days ago.

Nobody seems to know how it happened.

They just found him shot in the head.

The sheriff had an inquest,

but no witnesses.

What is this for a country,

where a man is killed...

and nobody knows anything,
