piling up the money.

Alright boys...

I'll take it from here.

Let Pete run...

Mallick?

He wasn't on that stagecoach.

He's not involved in this.

He broke a Deputy Marshall's jaw.

So he's gonna have to take

his legal punishment for that.

Well unfortunately,

things are gonna be...

a little bit different for you.

I already had to send word to Delarue,

that we got you into custody.

I'm sure you're

aware he's been...

making life hard for...

all of us.

I don't know what

happened to him.

He used to be a good man.

I guess killing all those

Indians for us, must've...

Unsettled his mind.

I am sorry for your loss, Jon.

Yeah, I am.

But you seem to have followed him

right down the same path.

If you just.,

showed a little compassion for Delarue's

brother, instead of killing him then.

Mrs. Borowski and Mr. Whisler

and Joe Noleg still be here.

I won't be the last man Delarue

is gonna kill around here.

No.

Probably not.

But your death is gonna

buy us some time.

I already wired for assistance.

Trying to restore some

law and order.

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a

single sheep, to save the rest.

I'm just a shepherd,

guarding his flock.

They say you are a soldier.

Did you ever fight, in the war?

I did.

Who was the enemy?

Germans.

Germans?

Bravo.

You have my respect.

Here he is.

The worthless son of a b*tch that

killed your beloved husband.

Your beloved husband,

killed my 10-year-old son.

And he raped my wife.

No one asked you to talk.

Well...

We will soon find out what

you're made of, soldier.

You're late.

I'll be with you in a moment, Henry.

Can I have his boots?

Go ahead.

Keane...

You won't be needing these, my friend.

Not where you are going.

I got a christening this morning.

So Sunday Mass gonna

take a little longer.

You give him water

if he asks for it.

And don't get excited.

Can I have some water?

No.

Sorry to turn my back on you..

But the view is better from here.

Got you pretty good, didn't I?

I mean, you were ugly before I

knocked out your teeth...

But now...

I hope you have a

woman that loves you.

'cause you ain't gonna

find one with that face.

You've probably never could gotten

a thing without paying for it.

Not with that stupid

voice of yours.

But it's gonna cost you extra now.

That's for sure.

Shut up!

I actually did you a favor.

I mean it's better now.

Now you don't just sound like a sick mule,

you look like one too.

I said shut up!

People won't be as surprised

to when you open your mouth.

Goddamnit it!

I'm gonna kill you.

It's probably a family thing.

I am sure your whore mother sounded

like a mule when you were conceived.

Goddamn!

You know how long, I've
