[waltz music playing]
ELLA:
Oh, the good doctor here thinks my toes are a welcome mat.
DOCTOR:
Well, at least if I break them, I can fix them, too.
ELLA:
That's true.
[women screaming]
JACK:
Hold! Ella Gaines... now I can kill you or I can marry you. Makes no difference to me. one way or another, I'll have your land.
ELLA:
Well, you might as well kill me then, Jack, because I promised my late husband that I would never sell. And I sure as hell ain't gonna marry a skunk like you.
JACK:
Well, you got one week to change your mind. Come on, boys, let's ride!
[gunshot] [gunshot]
DOCTOR:
Miss Ella, I'll wire the bluecoats if need be, but that fella, Jack Averal, must be stopped.
ELLA:
No, I know how to take care of this.
-Purgatorio, Mexico--
[cheering]
MEXICAN:
Otra vez. Ai!
CHRIS:
You lost, hombre.
MARIA:
[whispering]
CHRIS:
Ha ha.
CHRIS:
Maria, come on.
MARIA:
[singing in Spanish]
MAN IN NEXT ROOM:
[singing in Spanish]
CHRIS:
Shut up!
[gunshot]
CHRIS:
Come on!
MARIA:
Senor, please, what am I to do with you?
CHRIS:
Come on, give me the drink.
MARIA:
Better I put your head in a bucket of ice. Do you drink to forget or to remember?
CHRIS:
I don't know.
MARIA:
Tell me your troubles. I fix them all.
CHRIS:
Bring back my wife and son. Can you fix that?
MARIA:
They are in God's hands now.
CHRIS:
What kind of a god lets an innocent boy and his mother burn to death? Huh? The killer's out there enjoying himself! Show yourself!
BUCK:
Oh, don't point that thing at me, stud. It's me Buck, and JD.
CHRIS:
Buck, what the hell are you doing here?
BUCK:
We're going to haul you back to town, stud.
CHRIS:
Like hell you are.
JD:
Chris, some rich lady's putting up 50 bucks each to bring you home. Now, please--
CHRIS:
I ain't talking to you, you little weasel! Both of you get out!
BUCK:
Shh. Shh. Shh.
CHRIS:
What?
[Buck punches Chris]
BUCK:
Don't worry. He'll thank me come morning. Pick him up, JD
JD:
I hope you've done that before.
BUCK:
Once or twice.
MAN:
Now let's put them up. I'll cut us some sides.
BUCK:
Rise and shine! Smell the coffee! Good morning, sunshine. Bet you got a headache the size of a horse. Hey, come on.
CHRIS:
Stop.
BUCK:
Ha ha ha.
CHRIS:
Oh, what did I do?
BUCK:
Oh, you mean after you tore down all the hitching posts and got the good citizens teeth to gnashin'?
CHRIS:
Yeah. Oh!
BUCK:
Jaw hurts, huh? Well, I did you a favor. Now, come on, wake up. You got a woman who's come to visit you.
CHRIS:
What woman?
BUCK:
Ma'am.
ELLA:
Ha ha ha. You haven't changed one bit. Still courtin' trouble, I see.
CHRIS:
Ha ha ha.
ELLA:
Ha ha ha. And still the handsomest drunk I ever knew.
CHRIS:
And you're still the prettiest liar I ever met. It's been a lot of years, Ella.
ELLA:
Last I heard, you got married and took up farming and I thought, "why hitch a stallion to a plow?" But it looks like you've quit.
CHRIS:
Yeah. My family was murdered.
ELLA:
My God, Chris.
CHRIS:
Yeah, 3 years ago yesterday. Always makes me a little woolly.
ELLA:
I am so...sorry. My Joseph died not too long ago. I know how you feel.
CHRIS:
Oh, that's tough. So what are you doing here, Ella?
ELLA:
I need your help. There's a man by the name of Handsome Jack Averal. He's trying to steal my land for the Culpepper Mining Company. Your 6 friends have already signed on... for a month's wages.
CHRIS:
Well, you can count me in.
ELLA:
Handsome Jack has already burned out half the ranches in the valley. Of course, he never had to tangle with the likes of you boys.
BUCK:
Well, here's to the demise of Not-so-handsome Jack.
EZRA:
You know, Miss Ella, I was, uh, considering adopting Mr. Averal's sobriquet for myself. Handsome Ezra has a sort of ring to it, don't you think?
BUCK:
Windbag is more like it.
JD:
How about lightning JD Dunne, on account of my quick draw.
BUCK:
How about peach fuzz, baby?
EZRA:
What about you, Mr. Larabee? What, uh, moniker would you choose?
ELLA:
Bareback, Larabee. That's what I called him.
EZRA:
Well, go on, Miss Ella.
CHRIS:
She will not.
ELLA:
The rain was fierce. Chris wore only boots, a hat, and his birthday suit.
[all laugh]
ELLA:
I had only an umbrella as we rode off.
BUCK:
Oh, the picture. Well, here's to Bareback Larabee.
EZRA:
Long may he ride.
MARY:
Morning.
MAN:
Morning, Mrs. Travis.
MARY:
Any idea how long you'll be gone?
CHRIS:
Oh, it'll probably be just a day or two. You'll be all right.
ELLA:
I'll have them back in no time. Except for Chris. Chris, would you like to ride in the carriage? We could reminisce about old times.
VIN:
While you're eating meat, we're eating dust.
CHRIS:
That's right. Hey! Hey!
ELLA:
That's Kentucky mash. You won't find that in your little burg.
CHRIS:
You always did know your spirits.
ELLA:
I ran a successful liquor business after you left.
CHRIS:
Ahh!
ELLA:
Drowned my sorrows in my work.
CHRIS:
We had some good times, didn't we, Ella?
ELLA:
Mmm.
CHRIS:
I'll say this. You were one wild little girl.
ELLA:
Ha ha. Well, the way I remember it, you were the crazy one. Rowdy and ready to fight. Bar scrapes every night. Calling out any man who would even look my way.
CHRIS:
And you enjoyed every bit of it.
ELLA:
Yes, I did. Ha ha. Is that why you didn't come looking for me? After your wife died, I mean.
CHRIS:
Well, after she died, it took everything I had just to get out of bed in the morning. Then I went after her killer. I didn't think about anything else.
ELLA:
Ever find him?
CHRIS:
Name of Fowler. Still looking for the man who hired him. But I'll find him.
ELLA:
If I can help any, you just ask. Bareback Larabee. Ha ha ha.
ELLA:
My husband left it to me. What do you think, Chris? Little bit of heaven?
CHRIS:
That looks like a whole lot of heaven. Finally come up with a place that suits you.
ELLA:
Luis, take us home.
ELLA:
Come on in. Help yourself to the food, boys. There's plenty more where that came from.
BUCK:
Thank you, Ma'am.
JOSIAH:
My, my.
CHRIS:
Eat fast, Josiah. You and Vin got first watch.
ELLA:
Chris, why don't you come on upstairs? I'll show you your room. Don't shoot the good doctor, Josiah, while you're on your watch.
EZRA:
If, uh, you prefer the bunkhouse, Chris, I'll take the feather bed. That's the sort of good-hearted person I am.
BUCK:
Oh, look over yonder at those two, JD, now, that buxom beauty playing the piano, that woman will make a man out of you. I'll tell you what. I'll distract her friend for you so you can make your move.
JD:
Don't do me any favors, Buck.
BUCK:
Can't judge a book by its cover.
JD:
Mm-hmm.
BUCK:
You big stud.
JOSIAH:
What do you call this, Doc?
DOCTOR:
Folks over in Scotland play this. It's called golf.
JOSIAH:
Uh-huh.
DOCTOR:
Give it a try.
JOSIAH:
Love to. Wow!
DOCTOR:
Now you're hooked.
BUCK:
A beautiful lady like you could charm the sting off a bee.
HILDA:
I'm teaching her to play piano. I could teach you.
BUCK:
Oh, well--
HILDA:
Well, it'd be my pleasure, truly. I'm Ella's husband's niece Hildegarde. My friend's call me Hilda.
BUCK:
Uh, Buck.
HILDA:
Buck.
BUCK:
Nice to meet you.
ELLA:
These belonged to the late Mr. Petrie. But they should be... just your size.
CHRIS:
I'm not one for suits.
ELLA:
No, gunslingers don't wear suits. Gunslingers live poor as church mice and die in the prime of life. Is that your ambition?
CHRIS:
I haven't given it much thought.
ELLA:
I have.
BUCK:
Ooh! Bareback Larabee, he gets the goose down. We get this little slice of heaven.
VIN:
I think I'll sleep under the stars.
EZRA:
Oh, the indignity. Courage, Ezra, courage.
ELLA:
This is good land, Chris. A man could raise a fine herd of horses on land this good.
CHRIS:
Did that once. Never figured on doing it again.
ELLA:
Don't you see though-- this is-- this is the place we've always dreamed about.
CHRIS:
I feel like I'm a step or two behind you, Ella.
ELLA:
Catch up to me.
ELLA:
Luis! Doc!
CHRIS:
What happened? Doc!
DOCTOR:
He's been shot.
LUIS:
Handsome Jack says hired guns don't matter. You still got 48 hours, then he's coming after you.
DOCTOR:
Help me get him inside.
NATHAN:
Let's get him down. Come on. Easy, easy, easy.
CHRIS:
Where do I find this Handsome Jack?
ELLA:
He keeps company over in a saloon in red fork. What are you going to do?
CHRIS:
Just want to have a little talk with him.
NATHAN:
What's that you're giving him?
DOCTOR:
Tincture of laudanum. He won't know a moment's pain. Go boil some water, would you? Lots of it.
NATHAN:
Um, what's that for?
DOCTOR:
Um, relaxes the muscles. Helps me locate the bullet.
NATHAN:
Might find it under that rear fold.
DOCTOR:
Are you a physician?
NATHAN:
Oh, no, not hardly, sir. I'm just experienced in battlefield gunshot wounds.
DOCTOR:
Well, as we say in the medical profession, go give your hands a scouring.
NATHAN:
All right.
[horse neighs]
JD:
You about 100 pounds of stupid?
YOUNG GUNFIGHTER:
You're wearing my hat.
JD:
I'll wear any hat I want to wear.
CHRIS:
Where can I find Jack Averal?
YOUNG GUNFIGHTER:
He's expecting you. Ask around. I'm the quickest draw in these parts.
JD:
Just 'cause you can bark, don't mean you can bite.
BUCK:
Hey, looks like your family tree weren't no bigger than a little shrub.
BUCK:
Well, I guess we were expected.
JACK:
I trust you received my invitation.
JD:
Shot Luis just to get us here?
JACK:
And here you are. Now, as you know, I've already offered Ella Gaines more than a fair price for her land. She has refused.
CHRIS:
Well, there's the hitch. She don't want to sell it.
JACK:
It's a shame really. I even offered her my hand in marriage. Can't imagine how she could turn that down.
BUCK:
Maybe she preferred a more manly type.
JACK:
Well, I would advise her to reconsider because the value of her holdings will be dropping daily.
CHRIS:
A man can get roasted for making threats like that.
JACK:
That's why you were invited here, Mr. Larabee. Whatever Ella's paying you, I'll pay you twice as much to join the winning side.
JACK:
Hold it! Hold it! Hold up, gentlemen. Mr. Larabee was just expressing his loyalty to Ella Gaines. Got to respect that. Next time, I put a bullet in your heart.
DOCTOR:
You did first-rate work in there for a man with no training.
NATHAN:
I didn't kill him. That's the best I can say for myself.
DOCTOR:
No, you were as good as any surgeon.
I could use a man of your abilities.
NATHAN:
Is that right? I always wished I could learn from a proper doctor. I must have stored up about a million questions. Is scarlet fever always contagious?
DOCTOR:
Yes. Yes, it is.
NATHAN:
How can you tell the difference between influenza and pneumonia?
DOCTOR:
Nathan, not until after breakfast, huh?
BUCK:
Horses and women, I love them both.
ELLA:
Chris, how'd it go with Averal?
CHRIS:
Well, if it's a fight he's looking for, now he knows we'll give him one.
ELLA:
Oh, I'm sure he'll come to his senses rather than mess with the 7 of you.
CHRIS:
I wouldn't count on it.
Beauties.
ELLA:
Those aren't just saddle horses, you know. Look at their confirmation.
CHRIS:
They've been bred. One look tells you that. Wow, they're something.
ELLA:
How'd you like to break them for me? After all, that is why I bought them.
CHRIS:
All right.
JD:
He thinks he's fast. He don't know what fast is.
BUCK:
It's not how quick you draw, it's how deadly you shoot.
JD:
Yeah, well, you can't shoot deadly if your gun's still holstered.
BUCK:
Kid, stay clear of trouble. I don't want to put you to bed with a shovel.
HILDA:
Buck!
BUCK:
Oh, God, Hilda. Uh, uh, stall her for me, ok? Tell her I'm out of town.
JD:
Tell her yourself there, Buck, before she puts you to bed.
HILDA:
Buck?
JD:
Hey, Buck.
BUCK:
What?
JD:
Tripped over it yesterday. It leads to the root cellar.
BUCK:
Wait, wait, wait, wait, my head.
JD:
Here she is.
HILDA:
Hello, Buck. Where's Buck?
[neighs]
CHRIS:
Whoa, easy, whoa. Whoa. Easy, boy. Whoa, boy. Whoa, boy.
[whinnies]
CHRIS:
Whoa, easy, son. Whoa.
[neighs] [neighs] [neighs]
CHRIS:
Whoa. Whoa, easy. Whoa. Come on. Yeah. That'a boy. Come on. Come on. Yeah.
ELLA:
I've had suitors from San Francisco, you know. Even had a rich Romeo come all the way from New York City.
CHRIS:
Doesn't surprise me. You're a beautiful woman, Ella.
ELLA:
Still, time can be cruel.
CHRIS:
Not to you.
ELLA:
Even if those me come all the way from Paris or China, they couldn't give me what you can. All those years. Did you ever think about me at night sometimes... the way I thought about you?
CHRIS:
I'm thinking about you now.
ELLA:
I can scrub your back, if you like. It seems time's been good to both of us. This is our time now, Chris. We could still have the life we-- we dreamed of. the land, the horses. Even kids, if you want.
CHRIS:
Is that what you want?
ELLA:
I want you. That's all I've ever wanted. When this is over, will you stay on here with me?
EZRA:
Here they come.
JACK:
Hyah, giddyap. Let her know we're here, boys.
[2 gunshots]
JACK:
Ella Gaines, time's up. Come for your answer. Probably putting her make-up on, boys.
Wants to look her best for me.
VIN:
Not likely.
[cocks guns] [cocks gun] [gun cocks] [cocks gun] [cocks gun]
CHRIS:
It's up to you, Jack.
JACK:
Hey! Hey! Put 'em down boys. Next moron goes for his weapon, I'll shoot you myself.
CHRIS:
Now, you ride out of here. Tell that mining company to forget about this land.
JACK:
Gonna miss ya, Ella.
ELLA:
You're a big boy. You'll get over it.
[horse neighs]
JD:
We riled that kid and his bunch right out of here, huh?
ELLA:
You scared them off just like I knew you would.
VIN:
I ain't convinced. He knew we was here, yet he rode straight into a trap.
ELLA:
Well, all of Jack's courage is in his mouth. He won't be back. And I can't thank you enough for that.
CHRIS:
Maybe, but we better keep our lookouts.
VIN:
All the same to you, I'll ride over to red fork later. See if he's still around.
CHRIS:
All right. You should all know, after this job's finished-- I'll be staying on here.
VIN:
Good luck to you.
ELLA:
I know it must be difficult for you to part with your friends. I appreciate that.
CHRIS:
Well, they're going to stay until we're sure it's safe.
ELLA:
Good. I'd like to throw a little party tonight to say thank you. But I am looking forward to being alone with you.
CHRIS:
Where do you think you're going?
CHRIS:
Come on! Come on! Hyah! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
BUCK:
He's gentling down real good. Gonna be a nice horse.
CHRIS:
You're next.
BUCK:
Ha ha ha. Yeah, right. You know, a man could get cozy with all this.
CHRIS:
A man could.
BUCK:
Mm hmm. And when we first met, you had just parted ways with ella. Remember that? And you said that being with her was like walking on the edge of a sharp knife. Sooner or later, you're bound to bleed.
CHRIS:
Well, it seems like back then we were trying to kill ourselves.
BUCK:
Guess you don't feel that way now.
CHRIS:
Hell no. I'm too old for that. Besides, she's changed. You know Buck, there's more to life than drinking and fighting.
BUCK:
Ha ha ha. Well, you know what? Sarah thought that.
CHRIS:
Yeah, she did. She taught me the pleasures of home and family.
BUCK:
You going to take that life up with Ella now?
CHRIS:
I'm not certain of it. But I'll tell you, Buck, she's an exciting woman.
BUCK:
Oh, so it's love that's got you leaving us, is it?
HILDA:
Hello, Buck. Want a blackberry?
BUCK:
[sighs] Hilda, how many times have I told you you don't go sneaking up on a man? You're bound to get yourself shot.
HILDA:
Oh, pshaw. Ha ha. One day, Mr. Wilmington, you will come to appreciate my qualities.
CHRIS:
You can run, stud, but you can't hide.
BUCK:
Yep.
HILDA:
More?
[woodpecker tapping]
JOSIAH:
Humility. That's the lesson of this game.
EZRA:
Well, you appear to have mastered it.
JOSIAH:
[sighs]
BUCK:
Thank you.
HILDA:
Uh huh. I know some men like their woman underfed and even scrawny, and.. and, well, I'm big as an ox.
BUCK:
No, you're not.
HILDA:
Well, you-- you'll find I got a heart to match. Um...my my mama, she's a big woman, too. She's used to pick Uncle Joseph clean up off his feet. 'Course, he's kinda small.
BUCK:
Your uncle's a small man?
HILDA:
Well, next to you.
BUCK:
Hmm.
HILDA:
I could show you a photograph.
BUCK:
I'd like that.
BUCK:
Ella's husband was a head shorter than you.
CHRIS:
Suits don't belong to Joseph. So what?
BUCK:
So nothin'. Just why'd she say they did?
CHRIS:
I don't know.
It's none of your damn business.
BUCK:
All right.
ELLA:
I have something special I'd like you to wear for me tonight.
CHRIS:
This is for bankers and carnival barkers.
ELLA:
And gentlemen, too.
CHRIS:
Well, you should know better than anyone I ain't no gentleman.
ELLA:
Just this once. [kiss] Please?
CHRIS:
All right. This belong to your husband, too?
ELLA:
No. I bought it for you.
CHRIS:
When'd you have time-- mmm.
ELLA:
You... better get dressed.
CHRIS:
All right.
ELLA:
Mm hmm.
ELLA:
May I keep that razor, please? You can have one of Joseph's pearl handled ones. I just like to keep souvenirs of special times.
CHRIS:
Ok. Ella?
JD:
You know they played golf on the estate where I grew up? How's your swing?
JOSIAH:
Humbling. It's the kind of game you, uh, play with your worst enemy, which...turns out to be yourself.
BUCK:
I was all the way across the room, and I just... fell into your eyes.
DOCTOR:
This game is strictly cash only. No wagering of horses, nor your Aunt Sadie's necklace.
EZRA:
Alas, poor Aunt Sadie. I lost her to a pair of Jacks in Kansas.
[chuckles]
ELLA:
Well, hello, everyone.
HILDA:
[gasps] Ella, you look wonderful. Oh! Aah! Ha ha ha!
[applause]
HILDA:
Ella, you look so nice.
ELLA:
Hilda, you look lovely.
CHRIS:
Where you been?
VIN:
[sighs] Ain't no way to make this sound good, so I'll just spill it. Ella owns Culpepper Minin'.
CHRIS:
Where'd you get that?
VIN:
County clerk over in Red Fork. Which means Handsome Jack works for her.
CHRIS:
Who told you to go diggin' into her business?
VIN:
She lied to you... up and down the line. The woman's no good, Chris.
CHRIS:
I'm gonna forget you said that.
VIN:
Well, come sunrise, then...I'll be goin'.
DOCTOR:
3 carats... of genuine diamonds. Worth more than 10 times the entire pot. A bequest from a patient.
EZRA:
I take it the patient did not survive your ministrations. Agreed.
DOCTOR:
3 Jacks.
[chuckles]
EZRA:
Uh-- uh. 3... lovely ladies. Cherchez la femme. Ah. Thank you.
HILDA:
[singing] I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair borne like a vapor on the summer air I see her tripping where the bright streams play happy as the daisies who dance on her way many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour many were the blithe birds who warbled them o'er oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
ELLA:
I've always loved you, Chris. And now you know just how much.
CHRIS:
What are you doin' with my wife's locket?
CHRIS:
Where'd you get my wife's locket?
ELLA:
Fowler brought it to me after the fire.
CHRIS:
Fowler? I-- I don't understand.
ELLA:
Well, I couldn't let her take you away from me.
CHRIS:
You hired him?
ELLA:
I did what I had to do so that we could be together.
CHRIS:
Uhh! Uhh!
ELLA:
Jack... was just an excuse to get you here.
ECHO:
...excuse to get you here... to get you here. Was just an excuse... just an excuse to get you here. Because I'm the woman that you love.
ECHO:
...that you love... that you love... that you love.
[woman shrieking]
Aah! Aah!
CHRIS:
Bitch!
[gunshot]
JACK:
They're in the bunkhouse, boys!
ELLA:
Uhh!
CHRIS:
What'd you do?!
ELLA:
I'll kill anyone who comes between us!
[gunshots]
ELLA:
Chris! Chris!!
JD:
Everybody, down in the root cellar!
JACK:
EJ, get that rider comin' in!
EJ:
I got him, Jack! Ooh!
BUCK:
Get down in the root cellar!
VARIOUS:
Aah! Uhh...
[gunshots]
BUCK:
When you come up, spread out and stay low.
BAD GUY:
Uhhh!
BUCK:
All right, let's go!
[gunshots]
BUCK:
Spread out, boys!
EZRA:
Nathan, on your right! Uhh!
JOSIAH:
Ezra, you hit?
EZRA:
I've...
JOSIAH:
Nathan! Cover us!
EZRA:
I've been cheated.
BAD GUY:
Ohh!
EZRA:
Cut down in my prime.
JOSIAH:
No blood.
EZRA:
The best years of my life...
JOSIAH:
Hit the diamond.
EZRA:
My diamond! My diamond!
JOSIAH:
What the hell you doin'?! You lost your senses?!
EZRA:
Worse, I lost my diamond!
JOSIAH:
Ain't gonna do you no good in the hereafter!
EZRA:
Wait! Wait!
BAD GUY:
Ouahh!
[gunshots]
JOSIAH:
On your right, JD!
YOUNG GUNFIGHTER:
Warned you not to wear that hat.
JD:
It ain't how quick you draw.
[gunshot] [gunshot]
YOUNG GUNFIGHTER:
Uhhh!
JD:
It's how deadly you shoot.
[gunshot]
BAD GUY:
Ooohhh! Aah...
HILDA:
Buck?! I'm comin' for you, Buck!
BUCK:
Hilda, no! Get back inside!
[gunshot]
BAD GUY:
Aah!
[gunshot]
HILDA:
Ohh...
BUCK:
No!!
DOCTOR:
Nathan, Hilda's been shot!
HILDA:
Aah! Aah!
BUCK:
Nathan, can you get to her?! Cover him! Cover him!
HILDA:
Uhh! Uhh!
BUCK:
Hold on, Hilda!
HILDA:
Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Aah! Uhh! Uhh!
[gunfire]
HILDA:
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
DOCTOR:
I'll give her laudanum for the pain.
NATHAN:
You gotta get that bullet out!
DOCTOR:
I can't.
NATHAN:
What're you talkin' about? You gotta get that bullet out.
DOCTOR:
I'm tellin' you I don't know how.
NATHAN:
You a doctor, ain't you?
DOCTOR:
No, I'm not. Not a real one, anyway.
[Hilda moans]
NATHAN:
My God.
Excuse me!
HILDA:
[moaning] Uhhh...
BAD GUY:
Ouahhh!
VIN:
Get down, Larabee!
ELLA:
Chris!
CHRIS:
Aah!
VIN:
No!!
[gunshot]
JACK:
Uhh!
[neigh]
CHRIS:
Did you get her?
VIN:
Nope. Missed her.
HILDA:
Ohhh...
BUCK:
Is she gonna be all right?
[Hilda moans]
BUCK:
It's me-- Buck.
Can you hear me?
HILDA:
Huh?
BUCK:
There's somethin' that I have to tell you. There is beauty inside of you the likes of which I have never seen. It sneaks up on a man at first, and then it just hits him in his heart. There's just no 2 ways about it now. I'm stuck on you. And I always will be. So wherever it is that you're goin'... just know that a part of me is goin' there with you.
NATHAN:
She's gone.
BUCK:
I know.
VIN:
Nathan! Nathan!
[neigh]
MARY:
There's a letter for you.
CHRIS:
Mary.
[Chris reading the letter]
ELLA:
I forgive you for not appreciating what I did for you... for us. But I cannot allow the jealous and the weak-of-heart to destroy the great love we share. If we have the courage of our true hearts, we will do whatever is needed to find our way back to each other, and the rest of the world be damned. Until that day, I remain faithfully, lovingly yours. Ella Gaines...Larabee.
VIN:
Chris.
She leaked out of the landscape. We covered every town 'tween here and Red Fork. Sorry you didn't shoot her when you had the chance.
CHRIS:
Next time.
