Mr. Almy,

you understand you'll be denying us the life we're owed.

Mr. Pelton, I wish you would explain to...

Emma, you understand that I work with the law, not wishes.

Your father owed me a large compensation.

How could we owe you this much money?

Well, it's really very simple.

Andrew Borden's assets and his debts are yours now.

And since I am the estate's largest creditor...

You'll be first at the trough?

All right, let's keep it civil.

Well, perhaps an equitable arrangement could be made.

You have no position.

You could give them one.

Why would I do that?

You have no decency.

Indecency is Mr. Almy's stock-in-trade.

Says a woman who...

- What? - All right,

I'm going to suggest that we stop for today.

Ladies, a moment, if you will.

It's important to understand that Almy is entitled

to collect on his debt, and he will, if nothing else,

to remain legitimate in the eyes of his colleagues.

We need to be willing...

Tell him we'll pay a one-time fee of Father's debt to make him go away.

What percent?

Ten. Final offer.

10%?

No, he will need to...

Start at nine.

It does no good to antagonize Mr. Almy, Lizzie.

He needs to know we can't be intimidated.

Ignore them.

I think you want to fight with him.

I want peace and respect.

We can run Father's business.

- We can make a profit... - We don't know the first thing

- about running a business. - I know about solving problems.

The problem right now is everyone thinks we're an easy target.

That has to change.

I'm not afraid of you.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

Ah, this way.

- (GUNSHOT) - (GROANS)

- (GROWLING) - (GUNSHOTS)

Warren. Hey, Warren.

- Warren. Ahhh!

You gut-shot me! - Yep.

You son of a bitch.

You could've let me go.

No, I couldn't.

Where's my hand? Where's my other hand?

It's right there.

Just not working so well.

Oh, Charlie.

I'm a mess.

I had no other choice, Warren.

You killed two men in Burlington.

That other fellow died?

It's kind of hard to go on with half your brains in the chandelier.

I'm sorry I gut-shot you.

I was aiming at your gun hand.

No, you weren't.

You know what? You're right.

I wasn't.

I need to see the Chief.

Siringo, what do you got?

Warren Stark.

He's not leaking, is he?

Just sign the paperwork so I can get a bath, will ya?

Ugh. Where's the rest of him?

I buried him on Killington Peak.

Why?

Well, he's a big guy, Chief.

Are you Charles Siringo of the Pinkertons?

He is. And this is Warren Stark.

What do you got?

This telegraph came in for you last week.

Weren't you two friends?

He was his boss, a few years back.

- Where you going? - Another job. I'll bill you.

He's leaking!

I've asked you not to make noise when I'm in this room.

Oh, Father.

I do love you so.

Emma?

Yes?

We need a change of scenery.

I think it's just perfect.

Well, it is beautiful.

On the inside, too.

Lizzie...

Oh, please, can we buy it?

It's too ostentatious.

That sounds like Father talking.

He's right.

He's not here.

We have to leave 2nd Street behind us.

It's so big.

So, we'll fill it.

With what?

Life.

If Almy has his way, we won't have...

It's not Almy's money yet.

Please?

We'll talk about it.

Officer Trotwood?

Is everything all right?

Yes. I'm sorry to bother you.

How are you?

Fine, thank you.

- Miss Borden, you might not remember me. - Of course I do.

You were very kind to my sister all through the unpleasantness.

Yes.

Well, um, there's a situation.

Marshal Hilliard would like to see you downtown.

About what?

I think it's best if the Marshal explains.

This way, please.

That way is the holding cells.

- Are we being held? - Being notified.

Of what?

Property theft, and threat to inflict bodily harm.

Those children are lying.

This isn't about children.

Well...

Look what the cop dragged in.

Hello, Lizzie.

I like what you did with the place.

What happened?

I got evicted.

No home to go to. They tell you that?

And when I go to get what's mine, they arrest me.

How long must he stay here?

If he's bailed out, he can leave now.

I got nowhere to go.

Oh, let's not spend the money.

Please?

William, you can come home with us.

It's the Christian thing to do.

We'll be up front, Officer Trotwood.

If you make any more trouble for your sisters,

I'll pull your spine out of your ass.

You hear me?

Well, Mr. Danforth, it's a beautiful place you have.

Thank you.

So, what brings you to Fall River?

Uh, business.

And what business would that be?

Private. I'm sure you understand.

Oh, I do. I didn't mean to pry.

I couldn't help but notice that leather strap there under your arm.

Now that would be a holstered...

A holstered gun, mmm-hmm?

Now you're prying, Mr. Danforth.

I was at Homestead last year.

I was supporting my brother during the strike.

Yeah, that was a bad time.

It was shameful, actually.

Yeah, I saw a lot of those holsters on the Pinkertons

while they were shooting up the boys.

It's a common make.

Give me the damn key and my bag.

If you say so.

Enjoy your stay.

Isabel. Listen to me.

The moment Mr. Siringo leaves his room, I want you in there changing his linens.

But they were fresh this morning.

Find out what you can. Go through everything.

But why?

Because I told you to do it.

I want to find out what he's doing here.

Have you looked everywhere?

Are you coming to church?

The old man hid something around here.

You know he had to.

He wouldn't just leave everything in the bank.

I'm ready.

How many upholsterers died making that?

I lost count at 15.

When we return, we'll discuss the length of your stay.

Oh, and rent.

Rent?

My last name is Borden.

Well, Borden Street is three blocks that way.

You can stay in the gutter for free if that suits you better.

Whatever he left you, I want a piece.

I'm his son.
