Good morning, sunshine.
Now I don't know about you, but I hardly slept.
Two dead bodies in one day?
Hey...
An early bird.
Great.
What other mysteries are you hiding, Abigail?
It's not safe for any of us.
The only witness to my husband's murder is now dead.
Well...
not the only one.
We need to keep you safe...
till we can prove what the sheriff's done.
What if I had a way to get some proof?
Maybe even figure out why he did it.
Well, go on, then.
I'm all ears.
When Tom came to see me last night,
he offered me a job.
But you told him no.
Didn't you?
The thought turns my stomach, but when are we going
to have another chance to get this close to him?
It ever cross your mind he could be onto you?
This could be a trap?
If he found out who you were, you could be next.
- There are other ways. - Damn right.
I'll talk to Lucia, see what her family knows
about their new cattle-rustling neighbors.
My elders have been here longer than anyone else.
They may have crossed paths with the Davidsons before.
You don't need to take that job.
Yeah.
Stay out of the lion's den.
Sheriff?
Deputy?
Miss Walker?
How can I help you?
Yes, uh, is Sheriff Davidson around?
What, a deputy not good enough for you?
Don't take it personal, Gus.
I believe she's here to discuss my job offer.
Is that it, Miss Walker?
Yes. I've thought about it and...
Come on, I'll be out in a minute, Burt!
For a man who deals with the dead,
that undertaker's an impatient man.
What were you saying?
I'll take the job.
- Synced and corrected by Firefly - - www.addic7ed.com -
It's all right, Gus.
Abby's gonna keep us honest.
Knows a thing or two about the law.
Got an eviction notice for Sullivan Dry Goods.
See that it gets served, Miss Walker.
Much obliged.
Sheriff.
Deputy.
_
Why don't you stop?
You're not breaking them, they're breaking you.
Darling, that horse ain't the only one who's stubborn.
I'll get him.
Whoa.
What the hell's he doing here?
You know him?
Just some Apache I ran into.
Kind of full of himself, if you ask me.
Calian.
This is my son, Luis.
And this is my daughter Lucia.
Nice to meet you.
- Pleasure. - We were just about
to have lunch. Perhaps you could join us.
I'd be honored. Thank you.
_
Why does he get the last scoop?
_
Calian.
Your-your, your Spanish is impressive.
Unlike Hoyt's.
Hey! I know enough.
English is just easier, that's all.
Eh. Always the easy way out.
Perhaps with a different attitude,
you could avoid trouble instead of seeking it out.
Well, it looks like I'm not the only one
trouble seems to find these days.
Heard you got a spot of it yourself.
Cattle being stolen and all.
That's not your worry, Hoyt.
We can handle it on our own.
With respect, Seņor Reyes,
I'm afraid those who stole from you...
they won't stop at cattle.
You and I should talk.
Oh, no, no, no, leave it.
Hoyt can handle it.
You keep breaking horses.
I'll take yours.
Hyah!
You gonna stare at them cards all day long,
Goldilocks, or are you gonna bet?
I'm just wondering how much it'll take to clean you out.
Ma'am, beer?
Whiskey?
? You were in... ?
Pardon me, boys.
I'll, uh, trust you not to look at my cards.
Whiskey.
I thought you were at the Reyeses'.
I was.
Had about enough of that family for one day.
Well, I need to speak with you and Calian.
- Do you know where he is? - Mm.
- Had about enough of him, too. - Hey, Mama?
Can Hoyt come play cards or you want to braid his hair?
Look, I'll find you in a bit.
Right now, I need to go separate a fool from his money.
- Mm. - Yeah.
- Stay out of trouble. - Piece of cake, darling.
Hey, you know what, Hoyt?
I don't know who I think's prettier,
you or that little girlfriend of yours.
Yeah, you want to see something pretty?
Feast your eyes on these.
Oh, what a pity.
Broke...
ugly...
and no good at cards.
Who you calling ugly?
You no good
cheating son of a bitch.
Daddy's got to run!
Where the hell is that horse?
Hey!
Hey, mister.
You mind if I catch a ride?
Jacob?
Good to see you, Hoyt.
My father's very grateful.
None of his ranch hands had any luck with that horse.
He says you got a gift.
Wouldn't call it a gift.
Just patience and understanding.
Hard to come by in this family.
They can be pretty stuck in their ways.
- How do you mean? - Not wanting their daughter
singing in bars and...
not getting caught up with a man like Hoyt.
Blood does not always make things easy.
Well, maybe they're right.
At least with Hoyt.
Never around long enough to know
where I stand with him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wondering when you'd show up.
Where's Hoyt?
What happened to him?
Well, he couldn't have gotten far.
I'll find him.
Just in case.
Don't know if family's paying for a headstone.
Haven't heard back yet. This should do for now.
It doesn't bother you?
What's that?
Burying a man whose life you ended.
Maybe you've done it before?
Maybe more than a few?
Can't see how it'd sit right with anyone,
taking a man's life.
But I can live with it if it's justified.
Makes me wonder what else you can live with.
Come again?
I pride myself on knowing people from the start.
The thing is...
I still can't quite get a handle on you.
Heard you stood up for that Apache scout
that came into town looking for trouble.
I'm not sure that's the job description, Deputy.
Man just wanted a drink.
- Is that so? - Yep.
The people of this town
seem to like you quite a bit.
What do you think they'll say about you
when you're laid to rest out here?
I guess you'll just have to ask them.
Guess I will.
You buy from that shelf,
you pay for it over here. That's my shelf.
- I'm so sorry, I didn't... - Uh, never mind her.
Over here, sugar, I've got what you're looking for.
How do you know what she wants?
Because unlike you, Molly, I have business sense.
And I can tell this woman appreciates quality.
Are you saying I don't have quality?
If you did, I haven't seen it.
- See this. - Ladies!
Please, please, I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm not here to buy anything.
Well, then, what the hell are you here for?
I am here from the sheriff's office.
I'm here to deliver an eviction notice.
I'm so sorry.
Well, it was only a matter of time.
Is there anything I can do?
Yeah, you can slap some sense into my sister
for going behind my back once again.
Oh, Martha, like you've never done it before?
You're always keeping your secrets from me.
And now you know why!
Putting our livelihood up
as collateral for some kind of fly-by-night business scheme.
How was I to know I was being swindled by some charlatan?
That's the problem.
You're always so gullible.
Excuse me, what...
what charlatan?
It doesn't matter. It's over.
You can tell the bank they won.
_
Good God.
Am I finally dead?
This look like Hades to you?
Well...
I'll be.
Is that you, Braedon?
And Miss Mallory.
Well, hey there, little Evelyn.
There's Avery and Zachariah.
Well, I-I can't tell you
how good it is to be back in Angel Springs.
And so soon.
Now, listen.
I know...
I didn't leave here under the best circumstances.
You have every right to be upset with me.
For...
pretending to be a preacher.
For not finishing this fine church.
And for taking advantage of such a...
kind and trustworthy community.
I admit... I'm a sinner.
I am.
I have lived a life
of lies
and transgressions.
I've robbed banks, trains and...
two barbershops.
Cheated at cards,
gambled with dice and...
well, broken many...
many hearts.
I'm a fallen man.
In need of hope...
and compassion.
But I've come back to you good people...
... for forgiveness.
One, you didn't come back to us.
I tracked you down,
I knocked you flat and I dragged you here.
And two...
I've already forgiven you for what you done with my wife.
Well, parting my hair with that shovel
would seem to indicate otherwise.
Count your blessings while you can.
God's got a different purpose for you today.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Following someone.
You shoot your food with that?
I can.
You gonna shoot that man you're following, too?
I don't know yet.
Jacob, my friend.
Whatever it is you need me for,
I am your man.
Glad to hear it.
But you ain't touching one drop of this whiskey.
Oh, come on now!
You know how much I appreciate
the world famous Angel Springs Distillery.
Yeah, you and everyone else.
Folks get wind that we can't make our deliveries, then...
whole town's finished.
Why? What happened?
- Well, you did. - Huh?
It's been nothing but trouble since you left.
Last two deliveries got robbed.
They shot poor Fred there in the leg.
Well, look, if I'm so awful, why... why bring me back?
Well, we figured the best way to protect this last run
is to bring in someone with criminal experience.
Someone who knows the terrain.
Someone who'll do it for nothing.
I'm not that cheap.
Either that, or I could have you finish that grave
you were digging.
No need.
I'm in.
But in the meantime...
... I might need to borrow that shovel of yours.
Why are you following me? Humiliating me
in front of Lucia wasn't enough?
Oh, you did that just fine by yourself.
But when the horse you stole came back
without you on it,
Lucia, she grew worried.
And I figured you needed some help.
Listen to me, we ain't friends.
And I sure as hell don't need your help.
Oh, so coming here was your idea?
Sure didn't sound like that back there at the church.
That is my business.
I better not catch you following me again.
Miss Walker, right?
Glad to see you in one piece
after all that excitement the other day.
Find your husband yet?
No, I haven't.
Um, I'm actually here on a different matter.
I have friends who are facing an eviction.
The Sullivans are your friends? Huh.
Didn't realize they had any.
Well, uh, Mr. Morris,
I was hoping to arrange some sort of a payment plan?
Afraid I can't.
Oh, uh, why is that?
Normally evictions take months.
This case, however, was personally expedited
by the sheriff himself.
Uh, what's, what's this, then?
Uh, just a standard deed map.
Shows, uh...
the shop, and right up there
is their 200 acres just outside of town.
Both were being held as collateral.
Oh, well, hello.
I wasn't sure if you could make it,
what with your new job and all.
How did you...
Small town, big mouths.
So...
what's that handsome new sheriff got you doing?
- Anything interesting? - Mm.
Sad's more like it.
I had to tell the Sullivan sisters they're getting evicted.
If they don't pay their debts
by the end of the day, they lose the store.
What's more curious is they'll also lose
their land outside of town. 200 acres.
See, now that just sounds like a good old-fashioned land grab
to me. I can help...
if you want. I feel sorry for those gals.
Has it always been this bad?
They used to do okay, then as the...
bickering got worse,
so did the business.
Now their customers, they-they go to Austin
to get what they need.
Just to avoid the unpleasantness.
Kai, were you eavesdropping?
Of course not.
I can't control how loud you...
- How-how loud people talk. - Sure.
And I may have overheard enough to help.
I know which people need what items.
The trick would be getting them in the door.
If we could convince the sisters to stop fighting,
then maybe people would shop there again.
I'd need a small army to do it.
I think I've got just the army.
What you got there?
Griffin's things.
Carried a picture of a White Dove in his pocket watch.
Ruby.
Knew her folks before they passed.
Wonder what they'd find on me.
More than a coin and a whore's locket, I hope.
Come on, Gus, let's play a game.
Empty your pockets.
I'll go first.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven...
enough for a heck of a night out.
This is the same pomade my pops used.
Taught me how when I was eight, been using it ever since.
And this.
This has more stories than I can say.
I'd have to be dead before anyone put their hands on it.
It's your turn now.
Why am I not surprised?
Well, since old Griffin
didn't have next of kin,
I don't know if anyone'd bat an eye
if his things turned up missing.
No thanks.
I'm living just fine.
That was a test.
Good man, Gus.
Jacob.
You're coming with?
Well, I was on the last coach that got robbed.
Figured it might be helpful to know where it went down.
Plus, I don't trust you not to steal
all that whiskey for yourself.
So, where's our cargo headed?
Where do you think? Hyah!
Independence.
Hey, Jacob?
How's your old man?
I didn't see him there at church.
No, he's at home.
Took a turn.
I'm not sure how much longer he's got.
Sorry to hear that.
I always liked him.
Yeah, he liked you, too.
Didn't have the heart to tell him
you were a no-good, thieving outlaw.
That's a little bit harsh there, Jacob.
Okay, we're coming up on the pass.
That's where we got robbed last time.
Huh.
Seeing you with that shotgun must've scared them off.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
Seems like a bunch of amateurs,
pulling a job back in the open there.
If it were me,
I'd have picked someplace with more tree cover, like...
right about here.
- Jacob! - Hoyt!
Oh, the whiskey!
Hyah!
Jack?
I should go talk to them.
Good luck.
Well...
looks like the rest is up to you and me.
I'll go remind the girls to brush up on their salesmanship.
I'll tell them where to go.
And what they need to know.
Molly, Martha?
Look, I know this isn't easy.
But you two have to be civil.
All of these people are here
to help you save your store.
But none of it's going to make a difference
if you two can't get along.
Now, this is more than just about money.
This is about being sisters.
What do you know about sisters?
Enough.
I have one, too.
Or at least I did, back home.
For most of our lives, we were...
best friends.
We were inseparable.
And, much like you,
we... let...
we let business get in the way.
We said things we can't take back.
And...
now, when I need her more than ever...
... she's gone.
Sisters don't always agree, but...
that is okay.
The important thing is
that you will always be sisters.
Always.
I'm sorry, Martha.
I won't ever make a big decision again without you.
Besides, I was just trying to make you proud and...
that's all I ever wanted.
I am proud of you.
In fact, why don't you handle the register?
You were always better with people than I ever was.
Well, all right, ladies.
It's showtime.
Oh, come on!
Whoa! Whoa!
Oh, boy, you are really
getting on my nerves.
The feeling's mutual.
I see the way you treat people.
Now you're betraying a town
that offers you a chance at redemption.
Hey, I tried.
It didn't work.
I'll see you back in town.
Or maybe not.
Really?
You think missing me with a bunch of arrows
is gonna scare me?
Whoa!
- Do you know how close that was? - Mm-hmm.
'Cause I missed.
It was on purpose.
Why do you give a crap what I do?
Is it 'cause you're a tracker? Like a dog with a bone?
You just don't give up till the job's done, is that it?
I'm here because you're more than you want people to believe.
You've probably been in jail
- dozens of times. - Well, I think that's a bit high.
But you got yourself arrested.
You knew that we were all Abby has, so you sacrificed.
You have it in you to be good.
Okay, fine.
No more running.
We got to hurry.
Why, you got somewhere to be?
Actually, I do.
But for now, I'll start finding their trail.
No, no need.
Pretty sure I know where they're going.
How's that?
Well, I used to run with these bandits a few years back.
Taught 'em everything they know.
Of course you did.
Can you scoot up a little bit?
Your arrows are in my way.
Hi, Burt.
- Hi. - You know my name?
Well, of course. We hear you're running low
- on candles and rouge powder? - Mm-hmm.
Sullivan's Dry Goods is having a sale, come on.
I can't believe you pulled it off.
The girls were happy to do it.
I got them paid double this week.
And I like I told you, Kai knows everyone's dirty laundry.
It's good to see you smile.
May be the first time.
Hopefully not the last.
So, tell me about these men.
During my time, I took them from robbing stagecoaches
to trains.
And now look at them.
Back to coaches.
Pathetic.
I meant, what are their weaknesses?
Oh.
Well...
looks like their biggest one is I'm not with them.
Look, you just handle the stage,
I'll take care of the rest.
You know what we ought to do, boys, we ought to take this
stuff down to Abilene. That's some high-end hooch right there.
We gonna get five times as much as we get
- for that regular swill. - Slim.
Jack. Little Jack.
Tink. It's been a while.
Hell, too long, I'd say.
Oh, today must be my lucky day.
You know what they say about lying with dogs?
You're gonna get fleas.
Hell, I bet you fellas are itchy as hell
hanging with this mangy critter.
Sticks and stones, Blondie.
Hey, but you know what, this pretty little gun
you love so much is about to kill your ass.
Now I figured you boys might've
fallen on hard times after I left,
but seeing you with him?
It's just sad.
No, you know what's sad?
Oscar's still sitting in jail.
Tink told me about that last job y'all pulled.
Remember, the one you bailed on?
Those were extenuating circumstances, Tink.
The pretty boy moves a muscle, shoot him.
Hey.
Hey, you get away from that wagon!
Yeah, I see... No! No, no, no, the wagon!
The wagon! The wagon!
Wait!
Sorry, Jack. Little Jack.
Bring it around. Let's finish them off!
Hyah!
Calian! What are you waiting for?
Let's go! Calian!
Go on, get!
Yeah!
You miss me now, don't ya?!
Seems to me, this calls for a drink.
You're a damn killjoy, you know that?
It's nice to see those sisters finally getting along.
Must be bittersweet for you, though,
what with your own sister estranged in, uh...
- Where did you say that it was? - Uh, back East.
As long as Molly and Martha are happy,
- then so am I. - Mm.
Say, isn't that your friend from the alley?
Wait, those are the two
that started the brawl at Hagan's last night.
They gonna keep giving me trouble?
I'll handle them.
Kate, ready?
Sure.
What happened?
Just tying up some loose ends.
What did you find out at the Reyeses'?
Look, the thing is, Abby...
We talked to them.
Francis told us their cattle went missing soon after
they turned down an offer the Davidsons made
to buy their ranch.
- I'm not surprised. - Why?
What did you hear?
I know you didn't want me to take the job offer
Davidson gave me, but I did.
He was trying to evict the Sullivan sisters
from their dry goods store.
It wasn't the store he was after.
They own property near his outside of town.
If it's only land they're after,
why not just buy it?
Look, whatever the Davidsons are up to,
it's bigger than we thought.
I have to go make sure the sisters get the money
to the bank before it closes, so I'll find you later.
Where the hell you going?
Helping you took longer than I expected.
Look.
About that...
Thanks.
You really didn't have to.
Yes, I did.
You needed it.
Appreciate you reaching out.
- We'll talk soon, huh? - Mm.
Taza?
_
Looks like you could use a ride.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Thank you.
Praise you, Lord.
My pleasure, everybody!
Good job, boys!
Always glad to be back in Angel Springs.
Jacob?
I was thinking, before I head out,
maybe I could make a house call.
How you doing, old timer?
Yeah, that's right.
Father Hoyt's back.
I'm sorry I didn't come sooner.
Jacob, he, uh...
he told me.
He's a lucky man.
Having you in his life for so long.
It's okay to be scared.
To not want to face what's staring you
right in your eye.
'Cause some things we can't outrun.
We have to be brave.
And when we stop running...
... sometimes...
... that's when we find our peace.
Well, good job, Miss Walker.
Why, thank you, Sheriff.
Abby.
There you are.
I'm impressed you were able to get them
packed up and moved out so quickly.
Oh, no, they're not leaving.
They're just sold out.
- Sold out of what? - Everything, really.
But don't worry, they have a new shipment coming next week.
They'll be back up and running before you know it.
They were supposed to be evicted.
Oh, I know. I delivered your notice, but...
I have to admit, I didn't realize
how smart your timing was.
I'm not following.
Well, that notice was just the push
those sisters needed to get their act together.
They made enough to pay their debts
and then some.
You should be proud.
You've been here a week,
and already you're making such a difference.
Keep this up, and they'll be talking about you
here for years to come.
Well...
well...
we'll see about that.
Ruby, I'm here about Griffin.
Well, I ha... I have his things.
And... I knew he'd want you to have them.
Didn't charge him when he was alive.
Why would I take his money now?
I knew Griffin better than anyone.
And I swear on my life, he didn't do it.
He was no angel,
but Griffin never killed anybody.
Certainly not some sheriff.
He didn't have it in him.
But you sure did, didn't you?
Whole town loves Deputy Gus.
He's got a smile and a friendly word
- for everyone. - Okay, now. Hold on, Ruby...
Except the man you gunned down in cold blood.
How'd you get the nerve to come here
after what you done?
You got no heart at all.
Who the hell you think you are?
I was just doing my job...
Get the hell out.
Deputy.
Who are you?
Isn't that funny?
I was just about to ask you the same thing.
