Go collect your blood bounty,

you left in your wake

You are a killer, just like me.

Mr. Sundown is cinco peso.

[Bass] There was a boy
that I loved like a son.

23

You and Sally deserve a night

Next time you shoot a man
in cold blood over my say so,

I'll put you in cuffs
and haul your ass

this expedition,

we was waltzing with the devil.

157
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:35,428
And the sooner you accept that,

158
00:11:35,462 --> 00:11:37,831
better odds of survival.

159
00:11:37,865 --> 00:11:39,332

I knew this Injun posse man

163

when I was first deputized.

164
00:11:52,579 --> 00:11:54,681
We'd be out on the plains,

165
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,649
just like now,

166
00:11:56,683 --> 00:11:59,386
and he'd be a-grubbing
and a-farting.

167
00:11:59,419 --> 00:12:03,123
And I'd say, "Is that you
playing that buttock banjo?"

168
00:12:03,156 --> 00:12:06,827
He'd just nod and he'd say, uh,

169
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:10,630
"Me do, me do."

170
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:13,566
That always soured my supper
something fierce.

You do?

174
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:23,276
[deep voice]
You do, too?

176
00:12:24,845 --> 00:12:26,313
'Cause I know old Bass,

177
00:12:26,346 --> 00:12:28,348
he won't touch
a lick of my cooking.

178
00:12:28,381 --> 00:12:32,319
Likely it's the bullshit that
spews out of your fetid mouth.

179
00:12:32,352 --> 00:12:35,255
Well, I'd say you swallowed
a white man word.

180
00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:37,257
I may know
the white man's language,

181
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:39,659
but I'll fight you
like the Injun I am.

182
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,294
Your Injun mama,

183
00:12:41,328 --> 00:12:45,732

You need to leave my house now.

366
00:26:32,258 --> 00:26:34,126
I can see my generosity
is not appreciated.

367
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,197
-Generosity.
-Why, yes.

368
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:42,201
There are men who conspire
to root you out from your land.

369
00:26:42,234 --> 00:26:45,104
And they got their tails up.

370
00:26:45,137 --> 00:26:47,606
Surely, you know this.

371
00:26:48,975 --> 00:26:51,610
Oh, dear.

374

-You're a wretched woman.
-Wretched?

375
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:05,124
Would a wretched woman
offer your children

376
00:27:05,157 --> 00:27:08,027
the opportunity to tend
my beautiful home?

377
00:27:08,060 --> 00:27:10,629
Or would you prefer that they be
turned out as field niggers?

Didn't I?

389
00:28:19,365 --> 00:28:21,233
You did.

390
00:28:23,736 --> 00:28:26,305
Just maybe not
the one you wanted.

391
00:28:27,673 --> 00:28:30,242
I reckon folks ain't ready
to stray too far

392

00:28:42,488 --> 00:28:44,156
What changed?

396
00:28:46,458 --> 00:28:50,696
Nothing yet, but the laws will

397

398
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:56,335

A touch warm in here, isn't it?

403
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:38,710
Hadn't noticed.

404
00:29:40,679 --> 00:29:43,182
We often get a breeze
at this hour.

405
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:53,325
A beautiful night.

406
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:55,227

409
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,337
A Chinaman once told me
that terror...

410
00:30:05,371 --> 00:30:07,306
tenderizes the flesh.

411
00:30:08,607 --> 00:30:10,676
He was referring
to dogs, of course--

412
00:30:10,709 --> 00:30:13,512
it's a delicacy in the Orient--

413
00:30:13,545 --> 00:30:15,714
but I decided to employ
the practice here.

414
00:30:17,016 --> 00:30:18,817
You be the judge.

415
00:30:18,851 --> 00:30:21,820
Judgment ain't my jurisdiction.

416
00:30:21,854 --> 00:30:24,323
Jury and executioner, then.

417
00:30:28,627 --> 00:30:29,761
And?

418
00:30:29,795 --> 00:30:31,730
Better than dog, I imagine.

419
00:30:31,763 --> 00:30:33,665
Well, dog tastes like shit.

420
00:30:33,699 --> 00:30:35,234
So does this steak.

421
00:30:38,337 --> 00:30:40,406
I admire your steel, Bass.

422
00:30:40,439 --> 00:30:41,840
Your brevity.

423

Everything about you, really.

What's your grift, Esau?

425
00:30:52,919 --> 00:30:55,021
Careful now.

426
00:30:55,054 --> 00:30:57,623
Curiosity killed the deputy.

427
00:30:57,656 --> 00:31:01,393
I've been enjoying your company
so far.

Saw that safe

429
00:31:04,563 --> 00:31:06,298
More money than I'd earn

430

in the territory.

431
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:10,903
Twice.

432
00:31:10,937 --> 00:31:12,704
Count me interested.

00:31:12,738 --> 00:31:14,573
Are you, now?

434
00:31:14,606 --> 00:31:16,875
No king built
much of a kingdom alone.

435
00:31:22,114 --> 00:31:25,417
You know, Bass,
when I accepted that man

436
00:31:25,451 --> 00:31:28,020
was no more, no less
than the animals that we hunt,

437
00:31:28,054 --> 00:31:30,056
corral and consume,

438
00:31:30,089 --> 00:31:33,092
regardless of race or station,

439
00:31:33,125 --> 00:31:36,095
I decided dominance was
my only path forward.

440
00:31:36,128 --> 00:31:38,764
You know this to be true, too.

441
00:31:38,797 --> 00:31:42,001
But you still wrestle
with the religion.

442
00:31:42,034 --> 00:31:45,104
Indoctrinated to keep you weak.

443
00:31:45,137 --> 00:31:48,474
You shed that,
you'll truly experience freedom.

444
00:31:48,507 --> 00:31:52,378
God's never been further
from my grasp.

445
00:31:52,411 --> 00:31:54,546
Well, God is always in mine.

Sadly, all Black thieves

I deliver their boots.

449
00:32:05,591 --> 00:32:07,960
Their bodies are worth
far more than the difference.

450
00:32:10,629 --> 00:32:13,099
Now, the myth of Mr. Sundown,

451
00:32:13,132 --> 00:32:15,968
that's taken a fanciful flourish
from reality.

Still, I ask you,
