waited for this very moment.

You felt that, didn't you?

Of course you did.

You are so... beautiful.

You know what those.,

what those savages did to you,

taking your tongue.

I know it must've been

horrible for you.

But I see it as a...

a gift...

To me.

When I'm done here...

You and Me we're gonna..

We're gonna get a place in New Orleans.

Oh, you will shine.

You will be the princess of New Orleans.

Get the horses.

Jon! Jon!

I'll be back.

They split up.

Corsican, take half the men

follow this trail.

The rest come with me.

Bring your sister inside the house, Billy!

And take Daddy's gun.

We don't want you here.

You shouldn't drink from the well,

it's full of that sticky oil.

I left you some bread and boiled water

Thank you, Mrs. Whisler.

- Why are you leaving?

- Delarue killed my husband.

I'm sorry to leave you like this.

You wanna come with us?

I'll be fine.

He's gonna kill you.

You know Paul, he...

He saved you from them Indians.

But he never did

straighten you out.

Goddamn it.

Now I gotta kill you.

That's a shame, Henry.

We could take good care of her.

There's nothing wrong

with her body.

Once again...

Good fortune smiles down

upon you, princess.

Once you've all had

your way with her...

Cut her throat.

I would like my boots back.

Your boots?

Sure.

Sure..I..

I kept them here for you.

I kept them nice and clean.

Look.

Here.

Did you buy Mrs. Whisler's farm?

Yeah, I believe I did.

Yeah.

Have you got her deed?

- What? This is all very confusing...

- What about my deed?

You want your money?

Sure..

Sure here.

Here it is, Jon.

Take it, take it all.

What were you doing up

at Delarue's place?

Someone had died.

You know..

I mean everyone

deserves a coffin.

Even though they ain't

going to heaven.

- Henry...

- What?

You called him Henry.

Get the lid off that coffin.

Sure.

I'm an undertaker.

That's what I was doing there.

I mean, Somebody's gotta take

care of these matters.

Get in!

Look.. I'm just trying to make

a good living, you know.

That's all.

I'm a businessman.

You're not even a man.

- Please don't.

- Get in.

- You won't get away with this.

- Get in.

I'm the mayor of this town.

I try to help people.

Nobody wants the land.

Please don't!

No. Please.

No! no please!

Oh God, no.

You're right, Jon.

I don't keep the deeds.

I give them to Delarue.

I need a revolver, a holster and

some ammunition from my Winchester.

Give me a knife as well.

I'll pay for it.

I also need two bottles of kerosene.

I want you to go to Mallick.

Tell him that Keane has been

making money on all of us.

All that land and the

houses he bought...

Wasn't for himself, he's been
