Round Dog City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the smell of gun smoke. You killed him? To keep him from killing me. And be troubled about this, Marshall. I don't you get anything like that, started. Oh, no, not me. His brother, hard beurre. He's out the camp. I know him, Marshall. He'll come after you. All right, I'll be here. No, it won't be like that. Hard wouldn't face a gunfighter. You shoot you in the back or out of the alley at night. I know him, Marshall. You want to bury your friend there or you want to take him back to camp? I'll take him back to camp.
You know, Matt, you think a restaurant like Del Monacoire could at least make good coffee? You think it's supposed to be? I never saw a woman in the end who didn't find a clog with everybody's cutting their own. When you have more tastes than men's to cook. Oh, yeah, sure, sure. Now, that man who had the shoot today is brought in. Is that what's on the mind? Yeah, I suppose so, get it. I've been thinking. You've never seen him. If he does ride in the town, he won't be able to recognize him, will you? Yeah, let's just say that he'll probably be the first man to try to shoot me in the back. I don't worry about it. I've been tried before. And I'm still around. Don't you think it's not very crowded in life? It's quite early, yeah. Hey, what am I going to do? What am I going to do?
At my land, I got some post up here. Probably turns his head. I want to get a look at it. So many left to meet? Yeah. Yeah. No, it's probably somebody who's after me, kiddo. You stay here. Yeah, that's right, man. You're looking for me, Bill. What? Your name is Bill O's. I bet you're the marcher. That's right. What are your plans, Bill? Kill you? My own way. I thought so. I'll take your gun. Take it. All right. That won't stop me. You just got another gun that should be in the back. Is that it?
Any way I can. Look, Bill, or your brother tried to kill me and he'd have done it if I hadn't stopped him. They ain't nobody killed the Bill O and get by with it. I don't care what he done. Maybe you need a few days to think it over. I ain't got a few days you have now. He's on the jail for a while. Oh, no, I ain't done nothing. Turn around. Get moving. You the marcher? Yeah, what can I do for you? My name's Will Jacqueline. I'm boss of Dragar Herd. We're holding up, River. Come for hard, Bill O. Oh, my six. Well, turn him loose. I can't turn him loose. He didn't do a thing last night. He was just standing on the street the way I heard.
He threatened to shoot me in the back and he's as he's still going to. You killed his brother, didn't it, self-defense, yeah? No matter. You have to look out for yourself. But none of my men's gonna lay in a cans of jail when he had done nothing. None of your men's gonna walk around free waiting to put a bullet in my back either. Look, Jacqueline. You're not Bill O'Coo off here a day or two. You'll get over it, maybe. I got eight men outside Marshall and I got ten more with the Cadillac King. We come a long way. We had a hard drive. We're all Texans and no Dodd city Marshall gonna rub our nose in dirt. Nobody's trying to check them. I want Bill O. out of here. I'll turn him over to you when you have soldier heard and are headed back to Texas. I want him now. As long as he's set on killin' me. Eighteen men I got Marshall and I count myself. And fourteen of us will be back tonight.
We'll get him. Don't you try it. Well, we'll do it. And after we get him, we'll really shoot your town out. You people have mistreated the last Texas cowboy you're going to. Tonight Marshall. Oh, man. You sure you would have a beer, Max? I'll eat by the way. It'll be good. I can't be drinking non-stop. I don't think I'll ride in like that tonight. Those carpoes always talk big. Maybe. And it just full of vinegar after the long drive they've made. You know, they want a hoop and a holly something.
Opulos, full of more than fun I get to. Yeah, two, three, two, three, nine, tonight. Oh, man, the rules got it to you for what I do. Marshall Dylan. Oh, hello, Doc. Hello, Reese. And what do you want to do about those Texans, Marshall? I don't know, Mr. Rezling. I hadn't given it much thought. Well, you better start thinking, Marshall. I heard Jackson riding here this morning. He means what he says, that man. Oh, and what did he say? Well, they're going to destroy Doc. That's what him and all those wild Texans he's got. You've got to let that man out of jail, Marshall, right away. Mr. Rezling, the man I got in jail aims to shoot me from ambush if I turn him away. I can't help that, Marshall. Well, I can. Please stay and worry as till he comes to us senses. What about the rest of us? It's all right for you to save your own skin. But what about us? Those cowboys don't shoot up the town. Maybe burn my hotel down. I don't get all excited, Mr. Rezling. It won't help matters, ain't it?
Now, why don't you just forget about it? Jacqueline may never show up at all. That's what I come to tell you. Oh, what? Frank Parris, who rode by the drag yard camp with a while ago. And he says those men were just about to leave for Dodge. It means they'll be here in a minute. Now, what are you going to do? You don't have to get mixed up in this, you know, Chester. I know. Now, take me to the shop, don't you? OK. Now, let's wait outside. Thanks. About 10 feet apart. Yeah, the panel is still all of them. Yeah.
Here it is, man. Look at that. Hello, Marshal. You're acting like a fool, Jacqueline. We'll see about that. You make trouble hearing the law of the FBI wherever you go. I don't worry about no law. I was raised plum-free. We all were. That's so you were. But that doesn't leave you free to form a mob or raid a jail or shoot up a town. What's the matter with you men anyway? It doesn't matter with you. You put Anderson, man, and jail. Any man who wants to kill somebody isn't very innocent, Jacqueline. You have to wait till he does it. I don't have to wait for nothing. Marshal, we come for fuel up. Get them having Marshal. Turn them loose. Hurry. You keep out of this reason. He is right, Marshal. You let him go piece of bull. We'll leave town. You make us five. We'll go right on five. So you heard him. He means you. Now you do it. He's a jack.
Jacqueline, this is a shotgun I'm holding. The first move you or any one of your men make I'll cut you into with it. It may be. We're too many. You die and so will your friend there. That right, man? You're right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. You should me in the back of our chance against. That's your look out. I'm through talking, Marshal. Get that man. And when you finish him, go rip this down. I don't. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. All right. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. All right. Tell us, sir. Yes, sir? Go get Buello. All right. All right. Nice. Nice. You're here, Marshal. You and I have both been dead if you have one.
I'm not done it because you were mead-checking. I'm done it because there are too many other men who are tired. Well, it don't matter long as you turn in really tight. There he is. There he is. There he is. All right. Bring him over here. Here. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. Here, Marshal, you know what I'll be thinking about. You sitting next to open winders, walking down a dock street. I'm going to kill you here. There he is.
Wherever he was from, whatever kind of a life he had left below was a permanent man. Somewhere he'd heard about revenge. A simple idea on him. A simple idea on him. A simple idea on him. A simple idea on him. A simple idea on him. In these tickets at the heart. I realized not that there was no ceiling on the memories and capable of change. And Jaquan wasn't much better. But I forgot about Jacqueline, it was Bilo. We'll be back. Still two days went by, and there was no sign of it. Hey, cut the chair, Mr. Bilo. Sit down there. All right, Chester. Nobody can't shoot you from here. Unless it comes up in front. It's not very likely with Bilo. No, that's a matter of me and like you, me and me. I don't know, Chester, to reflect, maybe a war. A lot of things. Look, you want me to get you some upstate? Yeah. Oh, she walking so fast. We're looking for her.
Oh, man. I've been looking for you everywhere. The trouble? Yeah, Bilo is back. Have you seen it? No, what Sam did? Said he stopped in for a drink a little while ago. What was he still there? Hey, look. We told Sam we'd got a room at the Dodge House. He might be there. I'd like to find him before he finds me. Hey, look carefully. He didn't come along to the Chester. For eyes are better than two. Thanks, kiddie. What do you do with finding Mr. Bilo? Unless I'll get talking to him anymore. Maybe I can just carry him out of this somehow. I'm just going to do hope so. The hotel is pretty empty from here, darling. Hey, Marshall. I'm looking for Bilo's here. I don't want to lose you. I want to know if he's here or if he's leaving. He went upstairs. He's human to go, Marshall. All right, let's go. No, Marshall. I'm leaving, Mr. Dog.
I miss it. At least in one of those rooms. Yeah, we got him now. I don't know which one. You stay here, Chester. I'm going to go on down the hall. You might come out at any one of those doors. He's OK? Yeah, it's OK, Chester.
He didn't get you, didn't he? No, I tried to, but it was too late. He was already dying. I'm sure I'm glad. Yeah. And he died about as useless as a man could have. No reason at all. No reason at all.
