The Outlaw Josey Wales

---

Get up, girl. Get up!

Whoa!

WOMAN:

Little Josey!

Come on in. Let's get you cleaned up.

Better go.

[HOOFS THUNDERING]

Whoa.

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNFIRE]

LITTLE JOSEY:
Pa! Help!

WOMAN:
Josey!

Josey! No, no!

Josey! No!

Josey!

Josey! No!

Josey! No!

LITTLE JOSEY:

Pa! Pa!

WOMAN:
No!

LITTLE JOSEY:
Pa!

[GUNFIRE]

Ashes to ashes...

...dust to dust...

...the Lord gives...

...the Lord takes away.

[GUNSHOT]

[HORSES WALKING]

The name's Anderson.

Bloody Bill is what they call me.

Redlegs?

You'll find them up in Kansas.

They're with the Union.

And we're going up there

and set things aright.

I'll be coming with you.

[GUNFIRE]

All that a fellow has to do...

...is ride into that Union camp

down there...

...raise his right hand and swear

you'll be loyal to the United States.

Then he can take up his horse again...

...and go home.

They'll give us full amnesty then?

FLETCHER:

Yep.

Everyone else has done it but us.

We're the last of the holdouts.

I'm going in. I've had enough.

Josey?

Better go with them, boy.

You coming with us?

I reckon not, Fletcher.

They'll be coming after you.

Yep.

There's nowhere to go to get away.

I reckon that's true.

Well, good luck.

Put the rifle down too.

-I'll need it for squirrels and such.

-Put it down.

Kind of young, ain't you kid,

to be riding with this rabble?

Who you calling rabble,

you blue scumbelly?

Hell, we showed these boys, anyway.

Lee might have had to surrender,

but we didn't.

-Shut up, kid.

-Yes, sir.

You showed us.

Now get in line...

...before I kick you so hard

you'll wear your ass for a hat.

Here's the man you asked for, sir.

-Fletcher. Good to see you.

-Senator.

Well done.

Thank you.

What the hell is

this Redleg doing here?

You said regular federal authorities

would handle this.

Captain Terrill is the regular

federal authority now.

Captain Terrill is

a bloodthirsty son of a bitch!

He is a looter and a pillager!

He's the worst enemy those men have!

SENATOR:

The war's over.

Our side won the war.

Now we must busy ourselves

winning the peace.

And, Fletcher, there's an old saying:

To the victors belong the spoils.

And there's another old saying, senator.

Don't piss down my back

and tell me it's raining.

Which side is this man on, senator?

Easy. He brought them all in, didn't he?

-All but one.

-Who's that?

Josey Wales.

Josey Wales.

Captain Terrill, I want you to

currycomb the countryside.

You beat the brush and root out

everything disloyal...

...from a Shanghai rooster

to a Durham cow!

We've got to clean up this country.

Now you take five men and go up there

and get Josey Wales.

[FLETCHER CHUCKLES]

Captain Redlegs Terrill and five men

against Josey Wales?

We stopped those bushwhackers

pretty good during the war.

Fletcher, you go with Captain Terrill.

Bring in this damn

insurrectionist rebel.

Now, here.

Here's the money for bringing

the others...

...and there'll be more for Josey Wales.

I've had enough of your money, senator.

Let Wales be.

Let me be.

I'm finished with you.

[COINS CLUNKING]

All right...

...I want you men to raise

your right hands.

JAMIE:

What for?

So you can pledge loyalty

to the Union.

Hell, pledge loyalty to the Union?

You ought to have us turn around

and bend over.

All raise your right hands

so I can take your oath.

I pledge...

...that I will be loyal to

the United States of America.

I pledge that I will be loyal...

...to the United States of America.

That I will....

Let's see. I will abide by its law...

...that I will never bear arms against it.
