[Tate] He done Gurney in the worst way.
00:16.746 --> 00:18.456
You gonna tell me you locked him up tight
00:18.540 --> 00:19.916
like I told you?
00:19.999 --> 00:21.751
Aren't we something now?
00:21.835 --> 00:25.296
Tell Jennie about our plans
for Indian Territory.
00:25.380 --> 00:26.923
The townships.

00:28.550 --> 00:30.593
A poetic turn of phrase.

00:40.478 --> 00:42.480
Think I'm gonna marry you.
00:42.564 --> 00:43.982
Don't get yourself killed.
00:44.065 --> 00:45.358
Maybe we'll talk again.
00:45.441 --> 00:46.484
Easy, Cobb.
00:47.902 --> 00:50.989
But how about I trade you that
dark-hearted bastard Jim Webb?

[grunting]
00:52.991 --> 00:55.076
-No.
-Look out!

Don't think you'll be
talking him out today, Bass.
02:07.565 --> 02:09.817
Maybe not.
02:09.901 --> 02:13.446
Or maybe Webb's got more sense
than hate for me.

to seriously reflect on your offenses.

of your murdered victim.

And may God

have mercy on you.

I wish every posse man was as good as you.
11:33.130 --> 11:35.466
I had my moments.

Seven hundred and fifty-two dollars
11:38.219 --> 11:40.721
and seventy-five cents, Mr. Reeves.

It'll be square, Florence, like always.

[Sherrill] Bass!

Bass!

11:56.862 --> 11:59.281
Arrested in Atoka for horse thieving,
11:59.365 --> 12:00.658
but before the thieving,
12:00.741 --> 12:04.245
seems he put a mess of lead
into a fine gentleman
12:04.328 --> 12:06.664
running for State Senate down in Texas.
12:06.747 --> 12:09.375
The family is demanding
he swing down there,
12:09.458 --> 12:12.294
and they got the sway
to move mountains up here.
12:13.462 --> 12:14.838
Should've stuck to thieving.
12:14.922 --> 12:16.006
Likely so.
12:16.090 --> 12:18.008
But this order comes from on-high,
12:18.092 --> 12:22.179
you are to deliver the prisoner
Jackson Cole to the Red River,
12:22.263 --> 12:24.181

12:24.265 --> 12:26.392
I ain't been home for 41 days.

You take him.
12:30.187 --> 12:32.731
[chuckling] Ain't you heard?
12:32.815 --> 12:35.943
I have been relegated to pushing papers.
12:36.026 --> 12:37.903
You might as well put me in skirts
12:37.987 --> 12:39.405
and call me Florence.
12:39.488 --> 12:41.365
You insult her with the suggestion.
12:41.448 --> 12:43.284
I'd give anything to marshal again.
12:43.367 --> 12:45.911
You want to take that up
with Judge Parker?

15:40.544 --> 15:42.046
Why is he here?
15:43.630 --> 15:46.050
I'll be gone a week.
15:46.133 --> 15:47.509
What about the carnival?
15:53.474 --> 15:56.226
Sweetheart, I'll take you twice next year,
15:56.310 --> 15:57.644
twice the year after.

Upstairs.
16:02.691 --> 16:04.651
[slow, tense music]
16:09.656 --> 16:14.203
You knew all last night
and didn't breathe a word.
16:14.286 --> 16:16.038
What do you want from me?
16:16.121 --> 16:17.539
You wonder why your children
don't recognize you anymore?
16:17.623 --> 16:19.875
I have a duty, swore an oath…
16:19.958 --> 16:22.628
Like the one you swore to me
when we married?
16:22.711 --> 16:24.338
You may live out there
beyond that Dead Line,
16:24.421 --> 16:25.714
but we live right here.
16:25.798 --> 16:27.049
You know I love you and them kids
16:27.132 --> 16:28.342
-like nothing else.
-Telling us you love us
16:28.425 --> 16:30.010
ain't the same as showing us.
16:32.137 --> 16:33.972
Billy's waiting.
16:34.056 --> 16:36.266
How many pianos could you buy
if I was still trying to farm?
16:37.518 --> 16:41.772
Buy me a whole orchestra
and a church choir too, Bass.
16:41.855 --> 16:43.190
All that pretty music
16:43.273 --> 16:45.150
couldn't mend the hearts you're breaking.
16:52.157 --> 16:53.659
See you in a week.
17:17.850 --> 17:19.977
I can ride in circles
for a bit if it'd help.
17:20.060 --> 17:22.938
Only thing is to get it done.
17:23.021 --> 17:25.649
Sooner we get going,
17:25.732 --> 17:28.235
the sooner I get back.

laying eggs all day
17:39.454 --> 17:41.290
and do something fun, huh?
17:42.583 --> 17:44.209
[sighs] Me, too.
17:44.293 --> 17:46.086
[door opens]
17:53.218 --> 17:54.970
Still want to go to the carnival?
17:58.765 --> 18:00.684
Why don't you ask Arthur to take you?
18:03.103 --> 18:04.563
I thought you didn't like him.
18:06.023 --> 18:08.150
Let's give someone else
a chance to be a gentleman.
18:08.233 --> 18:11.320
[gentle, optimistic music]
18:24.041 --> 18:26.043
So, why'd you do it?
18:28.462 --> 18:30.339
So I could sleep.
18:30.422 --> 18:33.842
What kind of heart do you carry
to take a man's life and sleep?
18:35.844 --> 18:37.012
A peaceful one.
18:37.095 --> 18:39.681
That supposed to be funny?
18:39.765 --> 18:41.266
Not particularly.

So, you're just crazy?
