A Guide to Gunfighters of the Wild West

Tate, don't leave town.

Will do, Sheriff.

I'll just be in the cafe getting something to eat.

Just don't leave town till I say so.

Some of you carry him over to the jail cell to bleed out.

- We have beef stew or chicken and noodles.

Beef and biscuits?

Coffee?

Yeah.

Hey, I know who you are.

You're the one who just killed The Kid.

Killing didn't seem to ruin your appetite none.

I guess you do a lot of that, don't you, Tate Butler?

Don't bother my customers, Wilson.

You might scare him off.

- Gunfighters don't get scared off by nothing,

do they, Tate Butler?

Yeah, yeah, you're a tough guy.

You don't have to talk to him

if you don't want to, mister.

He's just a nosy old gossip.

Now, that's not a nice thing to say

about one of your regular customers.

- That's all right, miss. Thank you.

You got nice manners.

You from back East?

Indiana.

- (chuckles) They don't got no gunfighters in Indiana.

Is that why you out here.

- I'm out here for the same reason everybody else is.

Gold?

Adventure.

- Adventure? Well, you got lots of that, didn't you?

It's a real adventure when everybody's trying to kill ya.

Katherine, I saw you out there earlier.

You can't protect him from behind a barrel.

And even if you could this time,

there's always gonna be another gunfighter

trying to kill him.

So?

Stay away from Tate.

He's no good.

- I'm a grown woman and I'll do what I want.

- I can't just stand by and watch you make a mistake.

How could a father just let his only daughter get hurt

without saying something?

- (scoffs) Well, you said your piece now leave.

You lost the right to be my father a long time ago

when you left my mother.

(sighs) You won't be Tate Butler's wife.

You'll be his widow.

I hate to admit it, Katie dear,

but he might be right.

Coffee, Sheriff?

That would be lovely, darlin'.

Pie?

That does look good.

You talked me into it.

He shot first.

I know. You're safe.

The Kid had a $200 bounty on his head, dead or alive

so you'll be collecting some money.

Oh, that's lucky.

I'll sell his horse, his saddle,

and his personal items to pay the undertaker

but then you need to get out of town.

I can't be having gunfights in the middle of Main Street.

And he may have family coming after you.

- Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time. I understand.

You're getting slow. He beat ya.

But his aim was bad.

Well, you won't last long

now that you're slowing down.

You just got lucky this time.

Why don't you go home?

Wherever that is.

Family'll hide ya.

- (chuckles) Dad died, Mom remarried, and I left.

Well, why don't you find religion?

(laughing) Me?

Religion? That's a good one.

Hey, there's a church over in Riverton.

It's got a new pastor.

Says he wants to tame the West.

Brice Smith is the new pastor's name

and he's let it be known

that he wants to help people like you.

- Seems to me that may be just what you're looking for.

Yeah. Why don't you go find religion?

Or Mexico?

I don't care which one.

Fine.

- I'll have your reward money tomorrow afternoon

but then you need to leave town

and leave Katherine alone.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hmm?

You want something else?

No. What I want I can't have.

What?

No, not that. Oh God.

Oh.

God all I've got is beans.

Ah.

You can eat that or I'll take you down to the river

and we can get you some of that new green grass if you want.

It's up to you.

All I know is that if I want Katie, I've gotta fix this.

She deserves better.

Say that guy, Wilson,

he was talking about a preacher,

same name as my baby brother, helping guys like me.

You think my baby brother might've followed me

all the way out here?

No, I don't think I'm worth following out here either.

No, I don't think I talk too much.

All I know is that you and I regardless

are gonna have to go to Riverton if I want the girl.

Say, I wonder...

I wonder if my baby brother would even remember anything.

I hope so because his father was a miserable old bastard.

You talking to yourself again, Tate?

- I have to, nobody else listens to me anymore,

not even Dusty.

That was a close one today.

Yeah, I'm getting too old for this nonsense.

You and me both.

I worry about you?

So when can we stop this sneaking around?

Oh, well, probably just as soon

as I'm done killing 'em all.

No, seriously.

I don't know.

We could run away to California.

Hmm.

Yeah, we could, but somebody there would probably

recognize me and it would just start all over again.

Speaking of starting all over again.

Ouch!

I wish you didn't have to wear that gun all the time.

Yeah. You and me both.

How 'bout I take it off for you?

You awake?

Oh.

Well, I am now.

Couldn't really sleep.

I kept wishing that things were different.

Well, they're not.

- Couldn't you just stay out here for a little while?

And come back into town like nothing happened.

Maybe even get a job.

All those gunfighters will have to leave eventually.

I was asked to leave.

He didn't mean it.

Oh, yes he did.

And I can't blame him.

That was the third gunfight on Main Street this month.

Then what are we gonna do?

Well, I could go to Riverton,

wait my time out there,

and wait until I hear all the gunfighters have left.

Then...

Then what?

Well, there's a preacher in Riverton,

same name as my baby brother.

So I've gotta check that out.

Preacher?

You're related to a preacher?

It's possible.

You know, my mother was a God-fearing woman.

Maybe she brought up my brother in the faith.

- Why didn't none of that ever rub off on you?

Oh, I tried it.

I prayed every night that my stepfather'd stop beating me.

When it didn't work,

I gave up on praying and I left.

Mm.

Say, when can I see you again?

I'll try and sneak away from the store.

Mama gets real tired nowadays.

It's hard for me to leave her.

Can I buy ya lunch at the cafe

once you get all cleaned up?

- (chuckles) Not with Wilson hanging out there all the time.

- Hm. Maybe I'll just have to shoot him too.

No, I'm just kidding.

- Living a Christian life is harder than it looks.

All around us are temptations

that can keep us from our goals.

Directly after today's service

we're going to have a celebration of baptism

down at the river where our new members

will receive their shield of protection

and all are welcome to attend.

The good book tells us how God wants us to live.

It's not a suggestion
