Kresten, this is your father.
Good day.
- Welcome, Marie. - Thank you.
It's great to see you.
Say hello to your uncle Peter.
Good day.
You better get going before you lose
your seats on the stagecoach.
Aren't you coming with us?
No.
Peter likes to spend the night in town from time to time.
Hello.
Ma'am.
Where are you going?
My wife doesn't speak the language.
She will learn.
You not only look like them. You sound like them too.
You will too.
I'm sorry. There's been a mistake.
You'll have to take the next coach.
But we paid for these seats.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
This is no way to treat newcomers.
We have been traveling for weeks.
I'm sorry, ma'am, but you'll have to get out.
Let's do as the man says.
Hyah!

Hyah!
Are there a lot of animals?
Many kinds of animals. Foxes, bears, deer...
- Are there bears where we live? - No. Not where we live.
But if a bear turns up...
we will shoot it, skin it, and sell it in town.
- Is there a town nearby? - Not too far away.
We can get there in a day.
Kresten... don't worry.
It's a really nice place.
I've built an extension so there's room for all of us.
When are you old enough to go hunting?
I think you're old enough tomorrow.
If you would like that.
I'm sorry.
I hadn't had a drink in three years.
Kind of forgot what this stuff will do to you.
Out here, when you're offered a drink, ma'am,

That's how it's done around here.
You ain't got a hell of a lot to say, do you?
I like that.
My own princess, she don't talk at all.
She's mute.
The Injuns cut her tongue out

I suppose they got

My wife's name is Marie.

No, I'm telling you get your hands off her and behave.

Yep.

It's a sad day, Mr. Delarue.
But we must bear in mind that no one in this peaceful town
is involved in the gruesome killing of your men.
Where's my brother?
Your brother?
Mayor Keane.
Sir.
Make sure he doesn't stink of booze
when the princess sees him.
Of course.
You bring him to my house.
I'll make sure he looks his best self.
Take him there.
Did you catch the killer?
Mr. Delarue, I can assure you
it ain't nobody from around here.
I need to know who killed my brother.
There's no witnesses survived.
Whip and the shotgun were shot dead also.
We lost two lives today...
One, my own blood.
I will give you two hours to find the man that did this.
And, Sheriff,
I want that man alive.
That's impossible.
You are a man of God,
Sheriff Mallick.
I'm sure you've heard the words of our Lord,
"A tooth for a tooth."
Yeah.
You have until noon to find the man that did this...
Or you bring me two of your people.
M-Mr. Delarue—
You choose two, Mayor Keane...
Or I will take four.
Of course. Yeah.
Amen.
I am ready, Father.
The whole town will always be grateful to you.
Take good care of my grandson, you hear me?
We'll try the best we can.
I, for one, will help the boy run the store.
This isn't right.
I'm not sure I can make it without you, Grandma.
Of course you can, my boy.
Please don't.

Oh, God!
Everybody, stay calm.
Well, Sheriff...
A tired old woman and half a man...
That didn't add up.
That man's death—
That's on you two.
Tell me something, Mayor Keane.
How much does Black Creek pay in protection?
$80 every month.
It seems to me you're gonna need more protection
with a killer around.
From now on,
that fee is double.
Mr. Delarue, this is barren land.
We can't generate those amounts.
$160 due at the end of the month, every month,
until you find the man that killed my brother.
Are we in agreement?
Yes, yes.
Yes, we are.
I thought we would be.

Good day to you.
Where's your grandmother?
She's dead.
Delarue shot her.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What can I do for you?
I got some skins.
We're going west.
So the only two men around here
who know how to shoot are leaving.
Guess so.
Weren't you two soldiers
back where you came from?
We could use people like you
if we're ever gonna face that murderer.
Yeah, I was a soldier once,
and it taught me a lesson.
Don't get into a fight
you know you're gonna lose.
Cowards.
Who's there?
Jon!
Well, it's good to see you in town for once.
Are you still buying up land?
Well, I do occasionally, yeah.
How much will you give?
Well...
I couldn't possibly give you more than a $145.
That's half of what we paid for the land six years ago.
Well, like I say, times are hard.
You know, since Delarue raised his fees,
there's a lot of people want to sell.
Still,
you're a good man, and I want to help.
Let's make it $150.
Or you can bide your time.
Who knows.
If they find the man who killed Delarue's brother,
well, tempers may calm,
and prices may rise.
What man?
You don't know?
Delarue's brother just got out of jail.
Some lunatic killed him,
shot everyone on the stagecoach.
Since then, it's—well...
I'll take the $150.
You won't regret it.
Now, I'll need you to sign this.
Here.
Use that.
Where will you go?
We'll try and find a place further west.
I'd probably do the same if I was a young man.
That's for you...
And this is for me.
You'll need to keep that money somewhere safe,
in your boots, maybe.
There's a lot of hungry people out there.
Come on.

Madelaine takes pride in making sure those books add up.
Well,
the devil is in the detail.
The company doesn't like the way things are going.
Are you aware that the sheriff in Black Creek
wired the federal government for help?
I managed to block the communication for now,
but you can't go on using the same methods
you used in the army.
These people are not Indians.
Standard Atlantic is a modern company, Colonel Delarue,
and we need our operations to look civilized.
Am I making myself clear?
Good.
Now, how long before Black Creek is bought up?
I'd have the whole valley bought up in a week
if you let me do things my way.
Just answer the question.
You keep the cavalry out of the equation,
I reckon it'll take me three or four months.
That's all I needed to know.
Good day to you.
So they want me to be civilized, Princess.
Hell, I guess I can do that.
Long as we keep piling up the money.
All right, 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 marshal's jaw,
so he's gonna have to take his legal punishment for that.
But, unfortunately, things are gonna be...
A little bit different for you.
I've had to send word to Delarue
that we've got you in 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 have...
Unsettled his mind.
Now, I'm sorry for your loss, Jon.
Yeah, I am.
But you seem to have followed him right down the same path.
If you'd just shown a little compassion for Delarue's brother
instead of killing him,
then Mrs. Borowski
and Mr. Whisler and Joe No Leg,
they'd still be here.
I won't be the last man
Delarue's gonna kill around here.
Nope.
Probably not.
But your death's gonna buy us some time.
