The Kid

My mother told us our father couldn't find any goodness in his life.

That he'd stopped trying.

She said he and his brother were born bad.

You see, my father, he got the notion

my mom was gonna take us and run away from him.

He said he'd kill Ma.

He was drunk and there was no stopping him.

Children, run!

- You and the kids... - Please!

Stop!

Father, stop!

- Run! - Please don't hurt Ma!

You put that gun away! You put it away!

Rio, Sara!

Damn it! No!

- Rio! - I'll kill you, son!

Father, stop! Please!

Father!

Sounds like your brother's place!

Mother! She's gone. She's gone.

Bill?

Open the goddamn door!

- Bill! Bill? - All right, boys.

- You all right? - Stay put.

What the hell? Bill!

No, please, I had to! I had to!

You had to what?

What'd you do?

Men, get out.

What... what did... Bill?

Bill?

- It's okay. It's okay. - What did you two do?

You killed my brother! You killed my brother!

- No! - Look at me.

I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna kill you!

The window, Rio, the window!

No, Rio! We can't stay here. We have to keep moving.

Sara. Sara, there's blood on me.

Okay. Okay, take off your shirt.

You're scared, right?

Hey, ain't nothin' wrong with scared. I know.

It hurts me too.

I need you to do something.

I need you to close your eyes, close them.

I need you to picture who you're gonna be when all of this is over.

Not now, but then. Okay?

Strong, and not afraid of anything at all. Okay?

What you did, Rio, you had to do.

You saved our lives.

Okay, open your eyes.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on!

- Where will we go? - Santa Fe.

Mom told me about a friend there

that we could turn to if there was ever any trouble.

Santa Fe...

- You think Uncle Grant will follow us there? - Shh!

What, Sara?

Hey. Come on.

- Where are we? - Far aways from Santa Fe.

Looks like we can rest here.

Grant! Looks like those kids stole one of Fletch's horses!

Boss, they could be headed as far as Santa Fe.

Well, what have we here?

No need to panic now.

Although, I'd dare say got you surrounded.

- Billy. They gotta go. - Round here, who knows what'll happen to them.

- Don't fuckin' matter what happens! - Back off, Wilson!

I'd say it might.

Some people got a knack for livin', you know?

Who knows how far they get.

Might be they run into Pat and all them bastards

out lookin' for us, tell 'em where we are.

We don't know who you are.

You're... you're Billy the Kid.

I read about you in the paper.

Lies, mostly.

Billy Bonney.

Rio.

Rio?

That's quite a name. Your mama pick it?

She said she wanted to name me after someplace beautiful.

Well...

You hear that, boys? This kid's good luck.

Gonna get us all to somewhere's beautiful.

- Where you two comin' from? - It don't matter, do it, Charlie? They're here.

Long as we are too, you'll be safe.

I promise.

Well, horses need rest, and we need sleep.

Our head start will last at least an hour or two.

- If it don't? - Well...

then we'll do what needs doin'.

Kill 'em dead.

Is it okay if I talk to you?

Yeah, kid.

Those things they say about you really lies?

Most of them.

Guess it don't really matter, though. I...

I done enough.

I read they're gonna getcha.

Not if I get 'em first.

She was a singer.

How old are you?

Fifteen, almost.

I was 13...

...it happened to me.

I'm gonna go check on the horses.

James!

I'm gonna get you.

Come on.

Yah! Yah!

Hold your fire! Hold your fire!

Garrett! I'll be damned, is that you?!

It's me! Tell you the truth, Billy,

I was hoping that was you we just killed!

Oh, that's Bowdre, you long-legged son of a bitch!

Bowdre today, Tom yesterday! You having fun picking off

every person on God's green earth who isn't me?

I can't move on till you're moving with me, you know that!

I would prefer to do it without killing all your friends!

Ah, hell, Pat, just the horse I'm gonna miss!

You shot a goddamn horse! Who does that?

If you got a plan B, I'll kill that too!

How many men you got out there?

How many men? 100!

Ain't no way you got 100, Pat!

Here you are now just trying to make me feel special!

- You got a way outta here? - This is bad!

- We're okay. - Yeah? This ain't Lincoln!

I know where we are!

And I know where we ain't.

Billy, goddamn it, we're gonna surrender.

You do that, they'll take Dave to Santa Fe and hang him.

Then they'll take me to Lincoln County and do the same.

What choice do we got?

- Billy, we need to surrender. - Yeah.

Pat! I'm coming out!

I want all your men out here first, hands up, then you last.

All right, men, let's go.

All right!

All right, let's take their guns, step over there.

Wait till we're gone then head north a little.

Our horses won't have got too far.

Wherever you're headed, they'll take you there.

All your men are out here, Billy! It's your turn!

Where will you go?

Christ, kid.

This rock found me like you did.

Toss them bloody clothes before your next move, you hear?

Take care of that for me.

Pat, you old so-and-so!

Thought there were at least 50 Texans here from the Canadian River.

If I'd have no more than this, you'd never have gotten me.

We can go with him.

- No. - You said we had to go to Santa Fe.

They'll take us there. And we won't be alone neither.

I'm sorry. We have to stay hidden.

Rio! Rio!

Who do we have here?

So why don't you tell me that story one more time.

We come down from Iowa. After Ma passed,

Dad thought it best for a change.

And his sister's in Santa Fe.

Thought she could be of help.

The storm came through the other night and we got lost.

- Separated. - Yes, sir.

Thought you got separated.

- Separated from your pa. - Yes, sir.

Your pa, he must be scared, huh?

I believe he is, sir.

Well, we got a long way to go, but we'll drop Rudabaugh off

in Santa Fe and we'll take you with us.

- Thank you, sir. - Yeah.

Excuse me?

- Will they really hang him? - Yeah, they'll hang him.

- They really will. - But why?

Same reason they hang any man, for the things he done. Let's go!

- Come on now! Yah! - Come on! Get!

All right, everyone, this here's the Maxwell ranch.

We want to be in Puerto de Luna by tomorrow.

So we got a long road ahead. Everybody get some rest,

get some food, and we'll be on our way.

You two, I need you. Dave and Billy in chains, all right?

- Yes, sir. - Keep your eyes on Billy.

This is the place he considers home.

- Charlie? - Oh, shit.

You get Charlie to turn on me?

Son of a bitch!

All right, come on!

Let's get Bowdre out of here! Huh?!

Get the dead body out of the street, all right?!

Treat that body with some respect!

And get Billy down! Get him in shackles!

We'll get you a bath.

Thank you.

Nice enough fella, for sure. But... livin's nicer.

- Jim. - Yes, sir?

You have somethin' to smoke?

Have some tobacco.

Oh. Wonderful.
