Previously on Billy the Kid.
I'm ridin' with a good friend of yours.
-You know Jesse? -Sure I do.
I'll never leave.
-You arrestin' me? -Sheriff Brady just wants to talk.
Major Murphy, our boss, told me to go up there.
I had no alternative but to shoot.
So it was self defense?
Maybe he goes away a while. Gets re-educated.
Comes out as a lawman.
Billy got real friendly with Del Tobosco's daughter, Dulcinea.
If Mr. Catron wants my belongings,
everything, my horses, my cattle he can have them.
Get out of the way.
Devils, all of you.
They killed everyone, Billy. My whole family.
One of the gunmen pretended to be you, Billy.
I will avenge your family's death, I swear.
Why are all these men here?
We're gonna take the town.
The people of Lincoln are tired of the lawlessness and the chaos.
They want change. Now is the time.
I told you I didn't understand why you needed to go to war. Now I do.
You'll also know Juan Patron.
A leading member of the Hispanic community, he's very important.
-Thanks friend. -An honor, Billy.
This is Judge John Wilson.
He issued the warrant for those responsible for Tunstall's murder.
So there are people on our side.
-Mr. McSween, want a gun? -I was a pastor all these years.
I swore off using a gun.
Hola Manuela.
This is Señorita Dulcinea Del Tobosco.
She needs somewhere to hide, I'm hoping she can stay here.
Mr Catron has just appointed a new sheriff in Lincoln County.
A sheriff who's pledged
to drive each and every gunman and outlaw out of this territory.
And restore law and order.
I suggest you co-operate with him.
You and me, we're partners here.
And all I want is nothing more...
than to see Billy the fuckin' Kid hangin' on the end of a rope.
WANTED WILLIAM H. BONNEY "BILLY THE KID"
Yep?
Jesse.
Take a seat.
How you gettin' on?
All right.
Sworn in my deputies. Gettin' to know my way around.
What about you? You any closer to findin' Billy?
We're tryin'. Had some leads.
Reckon he pulled his camp way back, out of the way.
What do you think he's planning to do?
Think about the most unlikely thing, that's probably what he'll do.
Mm-hmm. Like what?
He's been on the defensive. Reacting to things.
My guess?
He'd rather be on the offense.
Otherwise, he knows he's going to get hunted down.
We best be vigilant then.
You know what?
I can spare you some of my men to help with your hunt for him.
Got to keep the pressure on him.
Thanks. Appreciate that.
I gotta say, it's strange, seeing you with that sheriff's badge on.
Things were very different back then, Jesse.
I was a lost soul.
Didn't know which way to turn.
You ever felt that way?
I can't say I have.
Sheriff.
You're born and then one day...
you die.
That's all.
I wish you a good day.
All right. We're takin' over the town.
We're gonna restore law and order in Lincoln.
But we have to take out The House to do it.
We're gonna ride in hard through Main Street,
splitting into three smaller groups
to take the Wortley Hotel, The Tunstall Store.
Juan and the Mexicans, take the downtown area.
From these positions, I believe we can
cut off The House and drive 'em out.
Liberating the people of Lincoln and makin' the town safe.
We just have to watch for Sheriff Garrett.
I don't have a read on him yet.
We do know he's lent Jesse a couple of his deputies
and they're out searching the county for us right now.
Another reason for moving into town now.
Yeah. Let's get to it.
Let's go.
Watch out when the shooting starts.
I think they could try to pin us down in the town square.
Have a few of your men come through and flank 'em from the hillside.
Yes, Billy. Don't worry.
-Take care of yourself, my friend. -You too, my friend.
Everyone to your positions. Go!
-George, take the roof. -On it.
What the hell's goin' on here?
I'm sorry, Sam.
We're talking over your hotel for a while.
Keep 'em safe boys.
Hey.
What happened with the letter
that Judge Wilson sent to the congressman?
Warren Angel has yet to complete his fact-finding mission.
But he's issued an interim report
which suggests he's already uncovered possible evidence
of corrupt and illegal activities by both Governor Axtell
and Thomas Catron.
Okay.
So you're sayin' there's still a chance the law could be on our side?
Maybe.
But I wouldn't count on it Billy.
You know, we can't wait for it.
We're doing the right thing here McSween.
Well, the time has come.
Now we will fight for ourselves.
For our freedom.
Watch yourself.
Be on your ready boys.
What do you want?
We've taken over the town.
We want to give you all a chance to get out before it's too late.
We don't want a gun fight if we don't need one.
We're just here to restore the peace.
Well we're gonna have to talk to Mr. Riley about that.
You talk to Mr. Riley, Mr. Murphy,
anybody else who might bring this business to a close.
Until then, we're not going anywhere.
Close that fuckin' door.
What did they say?
They said they'd taken the town, they want us to leave right away.
The hell they have. They're fuckin' lying.
You're standing here like patsies. Billy the Kid's right there.
Shoot him. Go ahead, shoot him!
Come on boys.
Smash the windows! Hey!
Watch out!
Charlie!
Get cover Charlie.
Ah! Damn it.
Let's move.
Get on.
Go boys. Go!
What the fuck are you doin', lookin' at me?
Get some men down there, find the others.
I need to know what the fuck is happening.
-Sure thing, Mr. Riley. -"Sure thing, Mr. Riley."
Oh for fuck's sakes.
You ready?
They'll be comin' soon.
Yeah.
On the corner.
He's got a gun on George.
Put that rifle down.
They ain't stoppin' Billy.
They're on the roof!
Billy, on your right.
Comin' around the back way.
Go, go, go!
Yeah, we did it! I did it.
Send them all to hell!
Hey. Don't touch the dead.
-For what? -Shut the fuck up, will ya?
This ain't a game. Get inside.
Everybody back to your stations.
Hey. What's goin' on?
-Mr. Riley. -Where in the fuck where you?
It seems the Regulators control most of downtown and the Mexican quarter.
-Jesse still lookin' for The Kid? -Yes.
I've asked him to come back immediately.
And in the meantime...
I'm calling in my deputies.
As soon as they arrive, I'll send them to the Tunstall Store.
If you need to kill a snake, Mr. Riley,
you gotta cut off its head.
Look, I advise you not to panic at this point.
It may not look like it...
but we still hold all the best cards in the pack.
Tracks are leadin' North to the old South Spring Ranch.
Let's go, boys.
You folks will be safer out of town.
It's just for a few days.
-Just for a few days. -Don't worry.
It's Sue McSween.
Stand down boys.
Sue.
I had to come and help.
Can someone please move these tables here?
I need some fresh water.
Can you please find me some blankets? Thank you.
Gentlemen.
These badges mean something.
Okay? They're badges of honor.
All of you have been given the great responsibility of upholding the law.
And administering justice.
These are difficult times.
You will need courage and fortitude.
But I am placing my trust in you.
And I know that you will repay it.
Now...
which ones of you consider yourselves to be good shots?
All right.
I want you three to take up positions
along the edge of town before sunrise,
by the Tunstall Store.
And I want the rest of you
to go surround the Regulators' positions downtown.
But I want all of you to move in a wide circle.
They'll be lookin' for you.
So don't let anyone see you. You understand?
Yeah.
Good. Watch out for those shooters on the roof.
Hey Billy.
Well they know we're here now.
We caught them by surprise today.
But tomorrow they come back twice as hard.
My guess is, first thing, there'll be sharpshooters around the town.
Herrera.
Juan says you're his best shot.
All right. First thing, you prove it.
You take four others and you find rooftop positions
and you take out those sharpshooters.
The rest of you just know, if they try a head on attack,
we have more firepower.
All right, everybody get some sleep.
We're gonna need it.
Charlie, you take first watch.
Dulcinea?
Yes?
What are you thinking about?
My family.
They took all of them from me.
I still don't believe it.
Nothing is the same anymore.
Everything changed.
Everything.
I'm so sorry, Dulcinea.
For your agony and your grief.
And now Billy is also going to die.
That is in God's hands.
Sometimes I wish they had killed me too.
Looks like they cleared out.
Billy's taken over the town.
Boys, let's get back there.
It's Tunstall's dog.
McSween.
Hey.
Here, boy.
Come on.
-Let's go. -Here we go boys!
Shooter's in the grainery.
Together. These bastards can't stop us!
It's okay. It's all right.
Stay down, boys.
He's one of the deputies!
Take cover!
All clear.
I have to say, I'm mighty glad to see you folks.
Sheriff Garrett's deputies are
attacking Tunstall's store from the north side.
They've got Billy and most of the leaders holed up inside.
They're the enemy.
To be frank, the Mexicans working for them are worth nothing.
Maybe you should come down there with us Mr. Riley.
Juan tells me they cleared the deputies from the bottom of town
so at this moment we control that area.
And we control the Tunstall store and the surrounding area.
But it's time to stop defending and start attacking.
Tomorrow, at noon, I want Juan and his men to join us here.
And together, we'll storm the Murphy Store
and drive Riley and his men out of town.
We in agreement?
-Yes. -Yes, sir.
Mr. Riley you have the money. You can hire more guns.
-John Kenny's a day and a half away. -We need to face facts!
The Regulators, with the Mexicans,
constitute a significant force of around sixty fighters.
That's a third more than we can muster.
-Mexicans as fighters... -Mr. Riley.
What's more, gentlemen,
is their core consists of a dozen or more first rate gunmen.
Not just Billy the Kid.
But Waite, Coe, Bowdre, and others.
They're not gonna walk away.
Sheriff's right.
If The Kid wants it...
he knows where we are.
Unless...
we change the odds.
Hold up Sheriff.
Colonel Dudley, it's the new Sheriff.
Mr. Pat Garrett.
I'm sorry to call on you so late, Colonel Dudley.
First of all, I should have come up here sooner to pay my respect.
All right, Sheriff.
Governor Axtell wrote me and told me about your appointment.
And I can well imagine that these early weeks have been trying ones.
Please have a seat.
Thank you, sir.
I'm sure you are aware, that a group of gunmen and thieves,
calling themselves the Regulators and led by the outlaw Billy the Kid,
are trying to take over the town, remove its lawful authorities.
Recently, the killings have increased.
Yes, I'm aware of all that Sheriff.
Well, out of desperation, sir,
those lawful parties, myself included,
have reconstituted ourselves as the "Law and Order Party."
And it's on behalf of that party
I've come up here tonight to ask for your help.
You're not the first Sheriff in Lincoln to ask for military help.
The fact is,
the U.S. military is severely constrained by the constitution,
from interfering with local and civic disputes.
Quite frankly, were here to control the Indian population.
Not feuding citizens.
I understand.
But what we have now in Lincoln is not a civic dispute.
It's butchery and mayhem.
I implore you,
to act before it's too late.
I have here a proclamation from Governor Axtell.
It commands all armed men to disband, return to their homes,
and not act as vigilantes so long as U.S Army can be summoned.
So...
can I take it, Colonel,
that you will interfere on behalf of the forces of law and order?
No, Sheriff Garrett.
You see, my job here
is always to weigh out the advantages and disadvantages
of involving the army in civil society.
And when we do, we often earn the ill-will...
of the population. And that Sheriff...
is a matter of great consideration.
Let me tell you, that unless you interfere right away...
there will be a massacre on the streets of Lincoln!
Don't you think that will earn you and the army
the ill-will of the people?
I wish you a good evening.
Beckwith?
-Beckwith? -Yeah?
Oil.
Hammer it in.
I'll pray for you, Billy.
We must never surrender.
I believe that now.
We're fighting for a good cause.
A noble cause.
May God give you the victory.
Thank you.
I do hope you're right.
So.
What are you gonna do?
Do you think the Regulators are strong enough to attack us here?
Yeah, they are.
Then what are ya gonna do?
Riley, steady.
I reckon you boys should take a look outside.
Good man, Sheriff Garrett. Good man!
Colonel Dudley.
Thank you. You came just in time.
Company halt!
It's all right, Sheriff. Just doing our duty.
Sheriff, which men do you want arrested exactly?
I want the whole damn business.
Sheriff Garrett, let me be perfectly clear.
I did not come to Lincoln today to assist you in any way.
I'm here to ensure the safety of the women and children.
The men can take care of themselves.
But if anyone, and I stress anyone,
fires upon my company,
I will return fire immediately.
Understood?
Colonel Dudley, I am Alexander McSween.
I act as attorney for the Regulators.
Those who fight for an end to corruption here in Lincoln.
While I am gratified that your troopers will remain neutral.
I must point out that among those supporting you are several men
charged with the murder of John Tunstall,
for whose arrest I carry warrants, signed by a Judge John Wilson.
And I have warrants for the arrest
of those responsible for the murder of Sheriff Brady.
Some of whom are standing right over there, Mr. McSween.
Gentlemen, I am not here to arrest anyone today.
I came here to restore the peace.
I am ordering all of you to go home, now.
Leave immediately.
This town is under permanent curfew.
We find anybody out on the streets, past hours without permission
or a damn good reason, will be arrested.
Understood?
Clear?
Yes, sir.
-Lieutenant. -Sir.
Cavalry, cordoned to the south.
Infantry, let's clear the civilians, gently.
All right.
Let's raise a glass to Colonel Nathan Dudley and the U.S. Cavalry.
Let's go, boys!
Don't forget Pat Garrett. He's a good man.
Raise a glass to Sheriff Pat Garrett.
So what are you gonna say for yourself?
Well what do you mean?
What do I mean?
Pat Garrett just about saved your ass.
You personally have done jack-shit.
That's what I mean.
Well?
They put their tents in a field below Murphy's store.
They've won. Murphy and Riley, they've won.
They haven't. Colonel Dudley is the real law in this country.
And when we explain to him that...
It won't make any difference Mrs. McSween.
The Colonel swore he wasn't taking sides. He's here to restore peace.
Don't know what happened. Didn't expect army.
They're not supposed to get involved. No one saw this comin'.
I didn't see this comin'.
I'll be right back.
Billy.
-Where's Jesse? -I don't know. Why?
Leave, now.
We need to make plans. Now's our chance.
-For what? -To make new moves.
-I'll find him, Mr. Riley. -Do.
Hello, Billy.
Pat.
It's good to see you.
Really?
Look, I don't want you to think that we're on opposite sides here.
Because we're not.
I want what you want.
Oh you want justice too?
Of course I want justice.
You want the end of the House? The end of the Rings?
I can't control that Billy. I'm just the Sheriff.
As just the Sheriff, I presume you'll stay neutral in this
and not pick sides with The House.
Billy, it is so much more complicated than that.
The fuck it is.
You can't fight the system.
And now we're talking.
If there's no law, there's only anarchy.
That is in no one's interest.
-Right outta their handbook. -Billy...
You have to give up.
You can't win.
When will you learn it ain't a game for me.
I don't care about winning.
All I care about is that for too long
a few corrupt assholes in Santa Fe, like Axtell and Catron,
have been pullin' all the strings in Lincoln.
Bleedin' these poor people dry.
And if they speak up, if anyone speaks up, they're silenced.
And if they can't be silenced, well, then they're killed.
We're just tryin' to change it Pat.
But we need your help.
You have been given a badge, you have the power.
Use it.
