Previously, on Billy the Kid...
Gentlemen, I am here to ensure the safety of the women and children.
I am ordering all of you to go home now.
-Let's leave. Get out of Lincoln. -We're not running.
If Dudley sticks to his word.
and stays neutral. We may get escorted out of here.
They are not comin' out so we need to get them out.
Riley's up to somethin'.
We burn them out.
Set fire to the house, they'll come squealin'.
Put it out!
If Billy and Charlie are in trouble...
we should try to help them.
You're supposed to be neutral. Not to take sides.
-Let us pass. -No!
We have to do something.
-What else could we possibly do? -I'm gonna ask them to stop this.
Are you out of your mind? He's hand in glove with Riley.
I already told you, I will not interfere on your behalf.
Mr. Catron is actually very concerned, Mr. Riley.
With a reputation as a murder capital,
as a lawless, outlaw-infested place,
who will invest money in Lincoln County?
-Billy ain't goin' to surrender. -That's crazy!
That makes no sense, Jesse!
Why don't you ever get it, Riley?
We're talkin' about Billy the Kid!
Billy the fuckin' Kid!
Oh, he is different...
from you, and he is different from me.
Sheriff, I had not thought to see so many lives undone.
It has been the way of it here in Lincoln.
But the fact remains that you let Billy the Kid escape.
Sheriff, I strongly advise you to hunt him down...
and remove him forever from the American imagination.
Sheriff.
Mr. Riley, what can I do for you?
-Have you heard the news? -What news is that?
The news of Governor Axtell being removed from office.
Apparently as the result of an investigation
by one Mr. Warren Angel,
and we've already a new Governor.
His name is Lou Wallace.
He's offering a general amnesty
for just about everyone guilty of crimes in the war,
so long as they are willing to hand over their guns
and renounce all forms of violence.
Yeah, sure.
We know that's gonna work, right?
The amnesty doesn't apply to those already indicted for murder.
I, myself, have been tasked with forming a posse to hunt down
the worst, most violent gunslingers on both sides of the conflict.
We know who you've got to find, Sheriff.
It's The Kid.
He's behind almost half the shootings.
You stop him, you stop the killing.
Oh, I am holding warrants for the arrest of Billy the Kid.
-Good. -But also Jesse Evans.
And members of the Seven Rivers Gang.
I'm not here to take sides.
We know that you and The Kid were friends.
That might explain why you're soft on him...
Sheriff.
Good day.
Y'all might wanna look at this.
"Recently installed State Governor Lou Wallace
set to travel to Lincoln County to offer a general amnesty
to all involved in the recent Lincoln County war,
if they give up their guns and renounce violence.
The most infamous character involved in the war
is the outlaw, Billy the Kid."
If they're offering a pardon, that's a good deal.
We don't know anything about this new Governor Wallace, Okay?
He may be our best chance, but we have to tread carefully.
What are we doing to do?
Garrett's gonna come lookin' for us.
We need to lay low, see what this new governor does.
If you need to go to Mexico to be with your family, I understand.
No, I choose to stay with you, and fight if I have to.
Okay.
Take this. Look after yourself, okay?
It'll be over soon.
-I love you. -You too.
Hey, Billy...
It's always gonna be like this.
We're always gonna be hunted and hounded.
We're never gonna get free around here.
Not until something changes.
I know, George.
All right, boys. It's a day's ride to Las Tablas.
Juan Patron's friend's waitin' for us, let's go.
Hola!
-Hola, señor. -Welcome.
You and your friends are welcome in this town.
-Gracias. -Patron told us you were coming.
We've heard so much about you
and everything you've done for the Mexicans in Lincoln. Bravo!
Please, come in. My house is your house.
You will be safe here.
Open the doors.
-Very well. Thank you. -Welcome, brother.
Come in.
Not a bad party!
Billy!
Billy. Sorry.
It's just... There are men looking for you.
They're on their way here.
It's all right.
I can show you a route to escape.
-Yes, thank you. -But hurry up.
Let's go.
Hola, Sheriff!
Mornin'!
-You the major of this place? -Yes, señor.
We heard Billy the Kid came through this way.
Billy the Kid and his gang.
I don't understand.
"I don't understand"?
Billy the Kid.
He was here, yes?
Yes?
señor, you're wrong.
I'm wrong?
You hidin' him?
Why? I don't understand.
-You don't understand? -Me no English.
No English?
Thought so.
Anyone here speak English?
Do you speak English?
Okay.
Was Billy the Kid here last night?
-No, señor. -You didn't see him?
-No, señor. -No?
No.
If you tell me the truth...
If you tell me which direction Billy the Kid took off at,
you can have all of this money.
Don't look at him, look at me.
It's a lot of money.
You can buy anything you want.
Anything you want!
Anything you want.
I don't know.
I never saw him.
I wish I did.
Okay.
All right.
Boys...
Let's go.
Goodbye, my friend!
-You think they'll catch up to us? -Probably.
So I'll drop out, y'all head back to Lincoln.
We split up, as soon as we lose them we meet at Charlie's farm, okay?
-Let's go! -Come on, boy!
Easy, whoa!
-Hola, señora McSween. -Hola, Juan.
May I introduce you, Mr. Huston Chapman from Las Vegas.
Mr. Chapman is a lawyer.
I've hired him to prepare a case
against John Riley for the murder of my husband.
señor, welcome.
You can stay at my house as long as you need as our guest.
Well, I'm extremely grateful to you, Mr. Patron.
-Please. -Excuse me.
-Careful with that. -Please, this way.
-How are you? -I'm well, thank you.
What you got there, boy?
You got a big old bur there.
Just a little further.
I know there's an old military post around here somewhere.
I just gotta find it.
Let's go.
It's him, all right.
Finally got him.
Stay quiet.
Let's go.
Watch out!
-Get him, boys! -Come on!
God damnit!
Come on, get him!
He's gettin' away!
You all right?
Damn it!
I don't trust this new governor.
-Governor Wallace? -Yeah.
They sacked Axtell, I'll be next.
It's part of a conspiracy and Wallace is part of it.
Next thing you know, they'll close down The House.
They'll go after my interests.
A general pardon's just part of the plan.
You understand?
Well, sir, I can see that if he pardons Billy and the Regulators,
then he's more or less chosen sides.
He's isolating The House.
So, where's The Kid?
No one knows, sir.
They say he killed some of the sheriff's deputies
who were our looking for him, and, um...
Well, that he's on the loose...
somewhere.
If there's to be peace,
it's on our terms, not Wallace's.
Riley will do whatever we tell him to, he's got no choice.
But The Kid, he has to want to come in from the cold,
he's on the run and wanted for murder.
Look...
I've been thinking...
If we can fix it that The House and The Regulators come together
and make peace between themselves,
then Wallace will stay out of Lincoln and out of our business.
Sounds very good, sir.
It has to be someone who can reach out to The Kid.
Guarantee that if he comes in to parlay he isn't gonna get killed.
Can you find that person?
Yes, I can.
Good. Get him into Lincoln right away.
Yes, Mr. Catron.
And, Walz...
How's my daughter?
She's fine.
Thank you, Mr. Catron.
Why isn't she pregnant? I want grandkids.
Is it her fault or yours?
We're trying.
Maybe you're firing blanks.
You know what I mean?
Hey, thank you.
There's a letter for you.
Letter from whom?
Jesse.
What's it say?
Says Riley and The House wanna make peace.
They want us to meet in the center of town.
No officials present,
just this man named Edgar Walz who works for Thomas Catron.
He's gonna lay out the terms of the treaty.
What do you think?
They'd have to guarantee our safety in Lincoln.
That's a long shot.
Sure is.
Unless they're afraid of Governor Wallace.
He's willin' to come in.
As long as we can guarantee his safety.
That's good.
The boy's on the run.
He's desperate so he's willin' to talk about peace and pardons.
I say we let him twist in the wind.
You really are not that smart, are you?
Of course we meet the man who's the biggest danger to us all.
As soon as possible.
Now, Jesse, write back to him.
Tell him that the meeting will go through,
and that his safety is, in fact, guaranteed.
And that it has to be soon,
or this new governor's going to wreck our plans.
I told you before, Riley, this war's got to end.
It's ruining every business in Lincoln, including yours.
Jesse.
Gentlemen! Good evening.
My name is Edgar Walz and I represent the business interest
of Mr. Thomas Catron of whom by now you must have surely heard.
We are here to make peace.
So, may I ask you to kindly leave your guns
and other weapons just over there,
before we go out to our meeting in the street.
What about the other side?
Well, I've made the same request to them.
I will not convene this meeting until guns have been surrendered.
You have my assurance.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Now, if you would be so kind as to follow me, please.
Gentlemen, please! Come closer.
Listen, you all know why you're here.
We've come to make peace.
These are the terms of the peace treaty.
Is everybody ready to listen?
Good.
This treaty states that no one on either side
can kill anyone on the other side
without withdrawing from this treaty,
and that neither party will give evidence in civil prosecution
against the other.
Also, that both sides will render all possible aid
in resisting the arrest of anyone on either side.
And anyone who fails to live up to this agreement...
will be executed.
Does everyone agree with the terms?
No other way.
Good. Now, shake hands like you mean it.
Fuck it, it's what we're here to do.
Wasn't so hard, was it?
This is good!
We made peace!
I say we celebrate!
Hey!
That was a good bit of fun.
Sure, I just hope it lasts.
You worry too much.
-Always did. -You never worry enough.
You remember that girl we were both interested in awhile back?
Sure.
-Barbara. -Yeah.
I wonder where she's at right now.
I don't know.
Probably making her kids supper.
Tuckin' 'em into bed.
It feels like 100 years ago.
Running cattle off the range.
Those were some good times.
They were somethin'.
Guess nothin' lasts.
Don't get sentimental on me, now, Jesse.
See ya 'round, kid.
-Hey! Whoa. -Watch yourself!
No hard feelings, kid.
Just a few, Mr. Riley.
Just a few.
Get me a drink! Hey!
You take care of that young man.
Good night, boys.
Good night.
Everyone!
I wanna treat y'all to an oyster supper at Columns' right now!
Who's comin' with me?
Yeah!
Let's go, everybody!
Good to be alive!
-Let's ride! -Like a real goddamn man!
Well, look who's comin'.
-Hey! -That's Mrs. McSween's lawyer.
What's your name?
My name, sir, is Chapman.
That's right.
You that fancy lawyer that's tryna take us to court.
I think you should dance.
What the hell, Olinger, we made peace!
Kid's right!
We made peace, everybody!
D'you know who I am?
You, sir, are Mr. Riley.
Say my name again.
Riley.
That's right, you fuckin' arsehole.
Let me pass, sir.
Riley, let him pass.
Oh, shit.
Billy the Kid wants me to let him pass.
Sir, let me go.
No.
We gotta go, Tom.
Well, boys.
Let's go get those oysters.
-Governor Wallace. -Mr. Wortley, I assume.
-At your service, sir. -This is your establishment?
Wonderful.
-Take my bags, please? -Of course, sir.
Pleasure.
Colonel!
Ride up to Fort Stanton,
tell Colonel Dudley I'd like to see him immediately, please. Thank you.
-Governor. -Colonel, at ease.
Thank you.
Colonel.
Is this your official report for the events that happened in Lincoln?
Yes, sir.
As you have no doubt ascertained from reading my report,
the situation I faced at the time was untenable.
And it was with great reluctance and lack of any other lawful authority
that I ordered my troops into Lincoln to restore order
and to protect the women and children.
Yes, sir.
Did my predecessor, Axtell, authorize your actions?
He implied I was doing the right thing.
Colonel Dudley.
You are hereby removed from your command
by the order of General MacDonald, effective immediately.
I have reviewed the evidence and I concur with his judgment.
Against all protocols in the name of the U.S. Army,
you took sides in this dispute.
You allowed the burning of that house and the murder of McSween.
It's disgraceful conduct.
Good day, Colonel.
Good day to you, sir.
-Come. -Begging your pardon, Governor.
But I've taken the liberty of bringing you my finest whiskey.
Thank you Mr. Wortley, that's very kind.
-What's that letter? -Someone dropped it off for you.
Thank you, Mr. Wortley.
Governor Wallace,
I came to Lincoln to make peace.
To lay aside my arms.
But once again, The House has destroyed that peace.
I hope that you are true to your word.
And that you really do want to help clean up Lincoln.
Last night, I witnessed the murder of the Lawyer, Huston Chapman.
I can testify to the killer's name.
I have indictments against me
for what happened in the Lincoln County War.
And I fear that if I give myself up, my enemies will kill me.
But if these indictments can be annulled, I will tell all.
My name is Kid Antrim.
Billy the Kid.
Mr Antrim,
Proceed carefully into Lincoln
and make your way to the old grainery building.
I have the authority to exempt you from prosecution.
If you will testify to what you say that you know.
Hello, Billy.
Governor Wallace.
Oh, please.
You can call me Lew.
Why don't you have a seat?
Billy, I have been very anxious to meet you.
I've spoken to many people since my arrival here.
Maybe people, the Mexicans, the Anglos,
they all speak very highly of you.
They all testify to your integrity and your honesty.
Billy, I'd like to offer you a pardon.
Allow you to re-enter the ordinary world
of law abiding and decent citizens,
where I think your abilities will surely flourish.
That all sounds very nice, sir.
But how, exactly, is that possible?
First...
you just agree, you commit, to sticking around Lincoln.
And you identify the killers of John H. Tunstall.
And the lawyer, Huston Chapman.
In exchange, I will pardon all your alleged offenses
and I will ensure that you are not prosecuted
for the murder of Sheriff Brady.
Billy...
I want you to have justice.
And I want justice to be seen to be done,
I am a governor after all.
Do we have an agreement, son?
You have a deal, sir.
William H. Bonney.
You're under arrest.
Put your guns down.
All right.
Shoulda know you'd be here.
I'm sorry, Kid.
Let's go.
Sheriff Garrett.
That went much better than I expected.
You and your men were excellent, thank you.
Thank you, Governor.
Cheers.
You and I have just arrested the most wanted man in all of America.
I suspect it'll be in all the papers.
And I'm sure glad...
that I had the idea of luring Billy into the trap.
Wait, that's not what we...
At least that's what the papers will say, which is a darn good thing.
Given it's an election year and all.
Now, Sheriff.
Your job is to make sure that Billy
is escorted safely all the way down to Santa Fe.
So we can make it in time for his arraignment for trial.
Don't let me down on this.
Yeah.
Good afternoon, Sheriff.
Good afternoon.
Can I ask you a question?
That depends.
I just can't help wondering how this whole thing is gonna pan out.
If you know what I mean?
Well...
we got a special cell for you.
So you don't get in any trouble.
And then, in due course,
you will be escorted out of here for trial.
What exactly are the charges?
You know what crimes you committed.
Yeah, I guess.
But you know...
I never betrayed a friend.
Watch the north side.
Comin' through.
Come on.
-Make sure that door does not move -Close the gate.
Come on, get moving.
He is all yours.
Move it.
Sheriff.
There's a lady here to see you.
Señorita Del Tobosco.
To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
My father, my mother and my brother
were all gunned down, Sheriff Garrett.
So far, no one's been arrested for these crimes.
Everything is still under investigation.
And there are arrest warrants out for several people
that we want to question about those terrible murders.
Like you, I want to see that justice is done.
Is there something else?
Yes. Apparently I need your permission
to enter the jail and visit a prisoner here.
You talking about Billy the Kid?
Yes.
I see no harm.
Unfortunately, I will just have to check that, you know,
you're not taking anything in to him...
that might be useful.
Do I have your permission?
Okay.
You can go.
Dulcinea?
Hello, Billy.
You got two minutes.
What are you...
Be ready.
Jailer, I'm ready to leave.
True love, huh?
Something's comin'.
Someone's comin', boys!
Watch out!
You stay right behind me, okay?
Sheriff.
Billy!
Over here.
-Over here! -Let's go.
Come on!
Boy, am I happy to see you.
Let's go!
You can't win.
When are you gonna learn?
This ain't a game for me.
