"IN THE CROSSROADS OF THE BREAKERS"
Kansas Territory Just
before the Civil War
Are you alive!
I was told you were dead.
Are you alive!
Are you alive.
- Who is he mom?
- I've never seen him in all my life.
Help me, Paul, and
you too, Michelle.
Go to your room, children.
Fast!
Did he die, Mom?
Go to bed, it's late.
Obey me, Michelle.
Who are you?
Mom! Mom!
He woke up!
I can stay here?
Go play, children.
Do you feel better?
My name is Dubois,
Jeanne Dubois.
- Where is my wife?
- You're still very sick.
Nina, where is she?
I'm afraid it's not
good to get up.
Look, I don't know
what you're doing here in
the house, or why
you're giving orders too.
I will get up.
Put on that robe.
Or you might get cold.
I think it will do.
It belonged to my husband.
I have other clothes...
I came here looking for my wife.
I saw her.
That was 4 days ago, Mr. Bleeker.
It wasn't your wife who saw it.
It was me.
They said my wife was
dead. I didn't believe it.
I escaped from prison.
I still don't believe it!
- Where is she?
- I'm very sorry.
It was already there when we
bought the house 6 months ago.
I was told it was a man,
that she ran off with him.
Who was he?
- I don't know.
- I asked you a question, ma'am!
I already said I don't know.
I tried to figure it out.
I tried so hard to figure this out!
I wish I had all the answers,
for when you woke up.
So that you don't
get them yourself.
Don't worry about the problems.
I thought if I had the answers,
I wouldn't be so restless,
as long as you want to stay here.
I really need you, Mr. Bleeker.
There is a lot to do.
fields to clear, grain
to plant, build fences.
It's a lot of work
for a single woman.
I didn't risk escaping
from jail for the pleasure of
planting your grains that by
chance will grow on my land.
They are no longer yours.
They are mine. The lands, the house...
Bought with our money,
mine and my husband's.
But there are property rights.
Mr. Bleeker, you are a
criminal, a prisoner from Kansas.
You no longer
have property rights.
It was all confiscated by the
government and we bought it.
Looks like it solved
your problems.
Please understand me.
I desperately need you to stay.
But I prefer not to oblige.
Force me, ma'am?
He's a wanted man, and
he's too weak to travel
And in the city they've already
put up posters about a reward.
It's a pretty big reward.
All I want is to have a home
here for me and my children.
If this is not possible, we will
live very well, with the reward.
Looks like you have
your chance now.
Quick, this way!
Yea?
Sorry to bother you, Ms. Dubois
We heard that Cam
Bleeker came here.
He lived here. Mrs.
did you see him?
- No, I didn't see him.
- Mind if we look, ma'am?
Not at all.
- There's a reward for him, Mrs.
- Yes I know.
He escaped from prison.
The sheriff thinks he's
coming to your house.
He's been shot...
and he can be very aggressive.
Thanks for letting me know.
Don't give him a chance if he shows up.
He can deceive you, ma'am.
He may look like a boy,
but he's actually a savage.
It's better to have
a gun close by.
Is he really that dangerous?
Well, he caused a
lot of trouble here.
- I'll keep an eye out.
- Do it, Ms.
Remember, don't give him chances.
The reward says "dead or alive"
Thanks.
- See you later, ma'am.
- See you later.
- Did you see?
- Yea.
He's here, better wire Topeka.
Right!
Thanks.
Looks like I owe you!
Not what I wanted, Mr. Bleeker.
Where is your husband?
Not far from his
wife's cross is another.
What happened?
suddenly attacked us
- Guerrillas?
- Missouri Redskins
My husband and I are
from France, Mr. Bleeker.
He was a man with
strong... political convictions
Who believed that... freedom
was more than a simple word.
We were told that
if we came here, we
could help build a
country of free men.
We took the kids, and we came.
On the first day here in this country,
They asked him what
he thought of slavery.
He was slow to respond.
Then they shot.
It doesn't matter.
If he had said what he thought,
the end would have been the same.
We can't offer you what
you've lost, Mr Bleeker.
But here you will be welcome.
"Il est bien fort
maintenant maman".
- What did he say?
- Oh, nothing.
It's time for them to
learn to speak "American".
I try.
- The man...
- The man...
IT IS...
Good morning
- What he said
- He thinks you're too strong.
Et beau. Tres beau.
And she thinks you're very cute.
Pay attention!
If you're going to learn
English, you better learn it right!
- English?
- That's right.
I'll start with you, Paul.
I go, you go, she goes
I go, you go, she goes.
That's right. Now...
I won't, you won't, she won't.
I won't, you won't, she won't.
Trs bien, Maman, n'est pas.
Three good, Paul.
Soon he will speak English
as well as you, Mr. Bleeker.
Not that fast either.
Now learning the verb to prepare.
I prepare, he prepares
and she prepares.
I don't prepare, he doesn't
prepare, she doesn't prepare.
Is anyone ready to?
I think you've been
paying too much attention!
You have to excuse
her, she is a lady in love.
Michelle, are you
bothering Mr. Bleeker.
I am?
Well, not exactly, honey.
But a class won't
do you any harm.
Let me show you.
Well done, boys. spread out.
Get out Bleeker!
You don't stand a chance.
Get out before
the kids get hurt.
keep it.
Disassemble.
The prisoner.
All right, Bleeker, inside.
- Good night, Bleeker.
- Governor...
How long.
I haven't seen him since the trial.
I bet it got lonely.
Sit down.
I said sit down
smoke.
I imagine you're wondering
why the governor of Kansas
rode 300 miles to find the man
who could have been hanged.
only with the signature
of a document in Topeka.
If I knew how little time
I thought about what
the governor does, I
would probably start crying.
I'll tell you why I came, Bleeker.
Needless to say, governor.
I say it myself.
Need me.
I came to discover things I
didn't know at the time of your trial.
I have your history here.
He was born in
Texas, abandoned here
by his parents and
raised in an orphanage.
He ran away from there
early, and walked alone.
He must have been a gunslinger, that's for sure!
Then came the war in Mexico.
He formed his troop.
They called it the Bleeker
Brigade, with boys from Kansas.
They were good men, Governor.
So he went back to Kansas.
He met a nice girl, got
married and tried a new life.
A farmer.
Do you remember what happened then?
Something personal, Governor.
The fight for
Kansas began again.
There were attacks.
Southerners attacking the North
and the North attacking back.
But you didn't wait for an order.
He organized his troops and
took the law into his own laws.
That's a lie!
There were attacks,
of course. Many
southerners were
in danger in Missouri,
but his men who
were there returned.
Not caring who
was dying while you
kicked the southerners
out of Kansas
Kansas must remain northern!
What about the people
who didn't care about his war.
Or to be from the South or the
North, who just wanted to live in peace?
I got my boys together
when the attacks took place
- Some were injured.
- Some died!
That's right!
I call it protecting my home.
And I call it murder!
We're not going to
put this to a vote now.
Bleeker?
What do you think about
not being hanged, being able
to die of old age, being
able to start a new life?
What do you want, Governor?
A man to hang.
A man named Darcy.
- Luke Darcy?
- Do you know him?
- I've heard.
- What did you hear?
- Rumors?
- Which?
He led a team of guerrillas
Looks like he tried to
do the same thing I did.
Only he ran away.
Darcy is a madman who
wants to take Kansas for himself.
And he's taking it piece
by piece, day after day.
He has to be stopped.
And his brilliant army?
Nothing, we tried. He is hiding
at the base of the mountain.
Nobody can find it.
It's like following a ghost.
Luke Darcy has to be dug
up and I'm going to hang him.
I swore I'd do it
when I took this job
What do you want from me, Governor?
You can be used by him.
- He thinks?
- You match him.
Besides, he's the only
one who can find it.
- Then? - Go to him. join
Be a guerrilla.
Lure him to a place where I can
get my hands on him and hang him.
Bring me Luke Darcy
and you will be a free man.
This is his reward.
Do your dirty work yourself!
Bleeker...
You will get Luke Darcy for me.
Not because I want
but because you want it,
much more than I do, perhaps.
Do you know the name of the person
responsible for your wife's death?
Who won her in a fit, made
love to her, made her his
wife, who when he got
tired of her threw her away,
turning her into a beggar
who died of pneumonia?
- You are lying!
- Bleeker...
Do you think I would
lie about such a thing?
Luke Darcy is the man you want.
How you get it is your problem.
And remember this, Luke
Darcy is not just a crook.
He's a man who thinks
he's an emperor, a kind
of country Napoleon.
He is bold and smart.
- Maybe smarter than you.
- I'd like to start, Governor.
When you want.
I'll make it look cool, and
official reward posters.
Let it be a respectable sum.
Bleeker...
You may intend to deceive me
If you do, remember this...
I'll take him and I'll take you.
And I'll hang them one at a time,
on the same day, just like
the rest of the guerrillas.
You look like someone destined
to commit a lot of hangings
they convinced you
And you came to get your gun.
That's it.
- You'll kill someone for them.
- That's right.
Did they name the man
responsible for his wife's death?
That's what they did.
His name is Darcy.
- Luke Darcy?
- That one.
Now you're going to kill him.
An eye for an eye, is that it?
So-so.
You have no right to take
the life of a human being.
I have every right in the world.
You have no right to be
someone else's executioner.
You can't just kill...
Just because? Just because?
You broke my guitar.
Well done, boys. Back.
stopped!
If anyone moves, I kill.
We better part.
Thank you, outsider.
outsider? You know me, Jake.
Sure, Cam. I...
I just thought...
He's dressed in a
Missouri redskin.
That doesn't do
you any good, Jake.
Especially after Missouri fell.
What is the game?
For whom do you ride?
- Don't ask me...
- I asked who?
Darcy? Take me to him!
I can't, Cam. He will kill me.
Take me to him. Now!
Right!
- What's up, Jake?
- He's with me, his name is...
Tell Darcy I'm a
friend, a good friend
In between.
Wait there.
Gentlemen, when my
guerrillas take the city, I will
make you a promise, a
promise that will be kept.
Let's clear things up.
You said this man
broke into your store.
What did he steal?
I'm not talking about what he
stole, Mr. Darcy, but what he broke.
- Did he steal something?
- Yes, Mr. Darcy. He stole.
Is that true, Evans?
- I was a little drunk, Luke
- I... I...
- How much was stolen?
Maybe about 300 bucks.
Does that pay the damage?
Yes sir Darcy.
Of course it covers. Thanks.
Everyone can get drunk.
It was a mistake.
A fatal mistake.
Run it immediately.
Far from the city.
Can't do that.
I have a wife and two children.
Take him away!
I have a wife and two children!
Can't do it!
We've been friends a long time, Luke!
Are you satisfied, gentleman?
- I disapprove of violence, Mr. Darcy.
- Me too, Sam.
We both know that
violence causes violence.
It is the nature of our time.
One of my men, broke my
word to you, and
paid with his life.
A harsh justice, perhaps.
I promised peace... and protection,
and I intend to keep my promise.
Your homes are safe.
Get back to your jobs, gentlemen.
The city is in good hands.
- Thanks.
- Thank you, Mr. Darcy.
These... peaceful and civilized
audiences make me thirsty.
So... I hear we're
friends. Hello friend.
Hello Mr. Darcy.
Too bad I have a short memory,
I don't remember meeting you.
- Didn't know.
- So that doesn't make us friends.
We will be in the future.
Future friends. That's nice!
It's good to know we have a future.
You'll talk about that later.
Now we'll talk about
another friend's future
My friend Jake Barton who
knows my laws and broke them.
He said he knew you well,
Luke. Otherwise I wouldn't bring it.
- How long have you been with me, Jake?
- Four years.
- Always loyal?
- I've always been on the line.
- And you never broke a law?
- None and you know it.
Good record.
A man with such a
record knows that Darcy's
laws are to be kept and
not broken, not once.
- Luke, I couldn't help it.
- I like you, Jake.
I always liked it.
This is a very important law.
No one can be brought to
Darcy without permission.
It was not my fault!
Bad luck for you, Jake.
He is yours.
Luke...please don't
Mr Darcy...
Jake broke his mighty
law because I made him.
If he wants to kill someone, my friend.
Try me.
He said he's a friend.
Please do me this favor.
When you're done... Sir.
Now turn around, friend.
What does he use it for?
You put on a good show, friend.
Clear. If I got it wrong it
would blow my head off
Why all this fuss?
Simple.
I wanted to impress you.
Because?
- I want to be with you.
- I ask again why?
Whatever you need
most, I'm the best.
What I need most, I'm the best.
No!
You... humiliated him.
Someday he will have to
kill you, but not until I say so.
So I have little time.
All right, that's all we got.
Shortly.
Mostly alone. Goes fast.
A man... sings, loves, fights...
Then there is nothing.
Dust... a leaf that
falls and disappears.
Who are you?
My name is Bleeker.
- Cam Bleeker?
- That.
You are a known man.
Have you ever heard of me?
Heard of you?
Brigades from Mexico, attacks
that caused him problems.
Of course I've heard
of Cam Bleeker.
- We have friends in common.
- I understood
I heard he was under arrest.
I ran away.
This is not an easy thing to do.
He had to get away, or he would go mad.
I had to find out what
happened to my wife.
- She stopped writing to me.
- Do you have a wife?
Had a wife. She died.
This is bad.
It's hard to lose someone you love.
How she died?
Pneumonia, the doctor said.
This is bad.
She was home alone.
No one to take care of her.
Thought it was the old
story, got another man
and ran away drank too
much or maybe or worse
- I ran away and learned the truth.
- And what was it?
It wasn't another man. She
died from working so hard.
Planting the crop,
tending the crop.
It left her weak.
So she has no wife and no home.
Just a price on my head.
5,000 dollars.
Which I would like to get.
And then Mr. Darcy?
Sit down, Bleeker!
It would be foolish if I pretended...
don't need a man like you.
Even though we admit to needing
you, we need to havemutual trust.
Who knows?
They say that anything is possible.
- Wine?
- I never touch it.
Whiskey?
Luke! Luke!
Evans has escaped
and is coming to town.
He wants to get you, Luke.
It's a shame to disappoint
him, he's an old friend...
Watch out!
Bleeker is a good man.
Too good to be true.
Take two men and find
out where he came from.
Find out what he really wants.
This is a disgusting sight!
Get them out of there!
And bury them like men!
Let's get out of here!
"Man is born of woman. He
has a short life full of misery.
He is born and dies like a flower.
It passes quickly, like a shadow
and never remains in the same state."
Man must die... with dignity.
What is the difference?
Death is death.
No!
There are thousands of ways to die.
The man finds his.
Hanging on a rope
with puffy eyes, your
legs dangling and
your tongue sticking out,
this is for an animal
and not for a man.
You're afraid of a
hanging, aren't you?
I once saw the hanging of
a man I loved, my brother.
I like life more than anything.
For him I would give up everything.
Made me stand with my
hands tied, watching your torture
In many ways, you
remind me of my brother.
I'm glad he came.
There they are, the
Kansas country starters.
It looks like an army
and works like an army.
What do you have for us?
Lets go in.
Save it!
One hell of a nest. Memories?
Most are... gifts.
Little moments from
my loyal followers.
This heater was from the
town hall in Watson's Junction.
This one, a gift from the
Royal Hotel in Emmettsville.
From Levinsen's
warehouse in Sedalia.
These... are from the
Morgan Town library.
Feel free.
I don't know if I can...
with all these books.
scare you?
Always something that knows
more than I do scares me.
- Wine?
- Whiskey.
Right. You said
you never touch it.
I see you have good
taste in fine things.
Let's toast... to the future.
And Napoleon?
Did you drink wine too?
He had his own vineyards.
I met a friend, a colonel
in Mexico, during the war.
He had an idea of
being a... Roman king.
He called himself...
Alexander the Great.
He was Greek.
Poor thing...
They hung him up and killed him.
I'm not sure I'm liking
what you're saying.
Mr. Darcy, I don't know much about
history, but one more thing I do know.
Many men tried to
take many places.
Even in this country.
They never did.
Because they never learned.
Learn?
You cannot do this alone.
The people have to be with you.
See this French. He came close.
Paris... Moscow...
He had to go from here to here
Do you know why it failed?
For two reasons.
Supplies were cut off
and the people hated him.
He arrived in Moscow...
But the people had left
and the place was on fire.
On the way back, in the snow,
he lost his army and the world.
You take small towns.
- One by one.
- And make people like you.
- That's right.
Also, one by one?
No!
They come to me too fast
I make them see that they need me.
Before I enter the city,
she was attacked
by Missouri redskins.
I knew this, for the
Missouri redskins
are my men in
different uniforms.
The next day, when I
arrive with my guerrillas,
I am, the big daddy who will
protect you against sordid attackers.
Believe me, I don't
need to take the cities.
They deliver it to me.
- Looks like nothing's gonna stop him.
- That's right.
I will take city by city through the
territory until I take the main one.
Taking Abilene, I take the railroad.
Taking the railroad, we'll take Kansas.
Any question?
Taking Kansas is
different from keeping it.
I will keep it.
With weapons and with men.
Big guns and trained men.
I will train them and
buy many more weapons.
Enough to not let my
parents take me away.
Looks like you've evaluated
everything, Mr. Darcy.
But one thing worries me.
Many innocent
people could be hurt.
It will happen.
If you think I like that
part, you're wrong.
This is a war I'm fighting.
War has its victims and martyrs.
Unpleasant needs.
But let me tell
you this, before I
perish I will give
the people of Kansas
a great and great country.
With a life richer
than elsewhere.
As long as they live their way.
may want our way.
Our way, Darcy?
- Water for my horse, madam?
- Over there.
- Lives here?
- This place is mine.
Oh yeah? I heard it
was from Cam Bleeker.
- He's a friend of Mr. Bleeker?
That's right, it's my friend.
- Have you seen him?
- I saw him the day before yesterday.
- And... is he all right?
He is fine, very fine.
This is a nice place.
Is your husband around?
Children... without a man.
It must be tough, my lady.
What you want?
Just imagining, ma'am...
Mrs. Bleeker.
What's with her? How she died?
Bleeker asked me to find out.
- But he knows!
- He knows?
Well I think.
And how it was,
I'm not right.
There's a town nearby,
maybe they know.
It's... Maybe...
I already have
some friends asking.
Was it you...
who cut this wood yourself?
Or was it Bleeker who cut it?
I'd like to cut it
for you myself.
Cute hands with an ax
No need to be scared, ma'am.
Not very friendly.
But was it with Bleeker?
He will kill you! he will kill
you like he will kill Darcy!
You did me a big favor, ma'am.
I will show you my esteem.
We'll meet again, ma'am.
And when it does, you'll see
how grateful a man can be.
Remember where we
left off, for next time,
will be where we start.
- Hey you! Where is Darcy?
- At home!
Alone?
- Darcy wants to see you
- Later.
Want to see you now.
Leave the weapon. It's social.
In between!
Come in friend!
Drink something.
Thanks.
I was thinking about you
there alone. I was worried.
He's a true friend. Hello lady!
- Goodnight! A whiskey?
- Yes ma'am.
- Do you think she's pretty?
- Clear.
She is yours.
That's what I call
true friendship.
Or do you prefer this one?
She's a little small for me.
It no longer serves me.
Let's talk, Darcy.
Maybe better.
You two go to the other room.
Wait!
- Are you married?
- Clear!
Where is your husband?
I don't know. In the
army, somewhere.
You see my friend, you almost
messed up with
another man's wife.
Didn't know she was married.
- One rarely knows.
- One must find out.
Perhaps. I never worry.
To me, a woman is like wine.
It's something to be appreciated.
When there's nothing
left in the bottle,
throw it away and get another one.
With a difference.
The wine you sometimes know
the name of, the woman never.
I once met a very
beautiful woman.
I was wrong to know her name.
- She died Darcy.
- I'm sorry she's dead.
You threw it away like
your empty wine bottles.
I don't deny it.
You know why I came, don't you?
I play high. I always played.
Machete!
I could say a lot to make
him change his mind.
I could say, "I'm sorry!
I didn't know I was sick.
I won't do it again!"
It wouldn't be true.
I don't apologize for who
I am and what I've done.
I don't ask for any forgiveness.
I only ask you to accept me.
Accept your wife.
Yes, accept her as a human being with
all of one's weaknesses and mistakes.
If you want to blame
someone, blame yourself, who
thought she was a saint
without human desires.
If she wants to shoot, shoot
the pedestal you put her on.
If you want to destroy something,
destroy the dream you have.
Who refuses to admit that
she was a lonely, adorable,
beautiful girl who needs
to hear a man say that.
Don't be wrong, Bleeker.
When I said that, I meant it.
I make quick decisions, as
well as quick likes and dislikes.
When I do, I move fast
It was like that with her and it will be with you.
I'm telling you this because...
I don't like to lie to you.
Between us, there is
nothing but the truth.
- Answer me something.
- Anything.
Did she say she loved you?
Yup.
Tomorrow is going
to be a big day, Luke.
See you tomorrow.
You will have peace, my friends!
Here will be our land!
Our home!
Our Kansas!
It's an ambush!
Let's get out of here!
Security is in place.
How's the shoulder?
It was superficial,
not very deep.
Let me see.
Got a knife?
You have to clean it,
I use it to skin coyote.
It has coyote blood.
It's not exactly like
skinning a coyote.
Let's see how brave the great man is.
Now you're a doctor!?
I could go to
Abilene and get one.
You would be happy to pay $5 for
the operation and 10,000 to bring it.
Maybe you like one of
your European wines.
Whiskey.
I feel. No whiskey in the raids.
Boss orders.
Ready, Luke?
- What's our next city?
- Knights Crossing.
- Have you ever lived there?
- I've been there.
- It seems to me that it was the place...
- It was the place...
I'm sorry, Luke.
You... prefer not to go
on the attack of this place?
It's just another city.
Mind if I go out for a bit?
Something special?
- Personal business.
- What kind... of personal business?
Let's say I didn't
say it... friend.
So I don't ask you... friend.
I'll be back tomorrow,
or the next day.
- Worried, Luke?
- Should I stay?
See you tomorrow
or the next day.
I'll take this, Jake.
Bleeker will travel.
I want to know where.
- We will!
- He went that way!
Do as I say!
- Mrs. Dubois
- Cam.
- Cam...
- I'm sorry I scared you.
I shouldn't have come,
it's too dangerous.
Don't worry, I won't be long.
I brought this... for Michelle.
It may not be the best guitar in the world.
It's a beautiful guitar.
Tell me... did you...
Did you do what you
said you were going to do?
About killing Luke Darcy?
Not.
Thank God. Welcome back.
Come! The children
will be happy to see you.
I'm not enjoying this, Lordan.
He saved my life.
Right.
You will cry at his funeral.
Cam...
I want to kiss you good night.
- Do you think I should?
- I think I should.
Thank you Miss.
- Bonne nuit, Cam.
- Bonne nuit.
Okay men, let's go!
- We can go back now.
- Aren't we going to wait?
For what? What is a
hanging after $5000?
We will!
We have a long way to go.
- They're great kids.
- Thanks.
- You're taking good care of them.
- I try, but you never know.
The teacher said
they're learning fast, but...
This is for you.
- Money?
- A loan.
You must get out of here for now.
- Take the kids and go!
- Go?
For a while.
There will be problems.
What kind of problems?
Of the big ones. I don't want you
and the kids here when it happens.
How do you know there's
going to be trouble around here?
Cam, how do you know that?
What happened to
you since you left?
- I joined Darcy.
- No.
Not in the way you're thinking.
I made a deal with the
governor, my life for Darcy's.
I joined him to ambush
him and hang him.
But you don't want to
go through with it, do you?
- I did not say that.
- No need, it's obvious!
Jeanne, Luke Darcy is
not what I thought he was.
He destroyed your woman.
Never has a man had as much
to hate as I hate Luke Darcy
I hated him from the start, and
I've been hating him ever since.
God knows that, but I can't.
There is another side of
this man that is very big.
More powerful that makes you
like him, whether you like it or not.
He has ideas,
Jeanne, great ideas...
maybe for the good of
the people of Kansas,
maybe for the good of
the people of America.
I've heard it before.
Great ideas from great men!
They know better than
anyone what is best.
They promise the world,
and if you give in a little
Your freedom, your dignity, the
right to be a decent
human being.
How flattering "Darcy's" are.
- How demonic they are!
- Jeanne...
I saw them in Europe,
I know what I'm saying.
They destroy their lives, they
spit on the lives of those used.
People like you who make
you filthier than they are.
You are rotten too!
As rotten as he is!
Oh Cam.
Get out of here in a week.
Hey! behold, the righteous
has returned from the dead.
Look who's here! A ghost!
So, Cam, how did you do it, boy?
How did you do it man?
We thought it was dead.
Cam, how glad I am to see you!
I'm happy as ever!
I don't know how you got it?
What was there? went crazy?
We thought he had died,
that he had been hanged.
Where did you hear that?
Let's celebrate, this
deserves a drink.
What is this all about, Luke?
How did you know I was caught?
Lordan, look who's back!
- Hi, Bleeker.
- How did you know I was caught?
- I just knew that.
- Who told you. Luke?
- I'll inspect the men!
Wait, Lordan.
Right! After you left I sent
two of the boys after you.
- What boys?
- Lordan and Jake.
- What did you tell him, Lordan?
- What I saw.
Who appeared in the city, someone
saw him and they went after him.
We think you've been caught.
One thing is wrong, Lordan.
I didn't show up in
town, just at the house.
Nobody knew I was there.
Just you and Jake.
- I want to know who told the sheriff.
- I don't know.
Jake!
Jake, come here!
- Yes, Luke?
- I'll find out and fast.
Jake, what happened
at Knights Crossing?
I have nothing
to do with it, Luke.
Cam, you saved my
life, I owe you that.
It was all Lordan's
idea, he wanted to do it.
Sloppy again, Lordan.
Should have stayed to be sure.
You lying pig.
Stop him!
Did he manage to escape?
This is a pity.
One of my favorite bottles.
- I shouldn't have killed him, Luke.
- He almost killed us.
Lordan, yes!
He deserved a bullet, not Jake.
Not a poor fool like Jake.
Bury him and pray for fool
Jake if you like him that much.
- I killed him for you!
- I kill myself if necessary!
when it is necessary
You're right.
Shouldn't have done that.
I lost control, this is bad.
When Lordan came back,
he told us you were dead.
At first I thought it would
be bad because of the plan...
Without you the chances
of success were less
Suddenly...
I felt the same when...
like when my younger brother..
was killed.
It's not sentimentality.
It's the way I feel.
Let me see your shoulder.
She's starting to bleed.
It won't be good for
the next ten days.
Then we'll go to... Knights Crossing.
Will I be ready to lead the charge?
In ten days? It really will.
Come on, get on with it!
Load it faster!
Hurry up boys, get those guns.
Let's go for a walk, teacher!
Take your hands off me!
Let me go.
We will!
Hey! Put her down!
She put me down!
Cam!
Cam!
Cam!
- Michelle! Come back!
- Cam...
-Is she very hurt?
- Yea
- She shouldn't have run.
- Leave her
I'll take you home.
Put her down, it's an order!
I know her and I'm
taking her home!
Disobeying an order
will be risking her
life and mine just
for a girl, is that it?
That's right, Darcy. A girl.
You and I are going to
have a talk when I get back.
That is, if you come back.
Mom!
Mom!
Michelle, she is very hurt.
Is she... Is she dead?
She is alive.
Mon baby. Mon cherry.
Paul, bring some water.
- She needs a doctor.
- I'm going to Knights Crossing.
- There's no doctor there.
- There's a doctor in Abilene.
It will take a long time
for you to come back.
Let's take you there.
If she had gone like I said.
Yes... If we had left, it
wouldn't have been Michelle.
Maybe I was lucky, and another
mother would be
crying for her child there
This is your peace and that of Mr. Darcy?
- Brings peace by killing children.
- Jeanne!
Assassin!
That's right.
It's going to be okay.
From now on it will
be your way. I promise.
Your way!
ABILENE Sale of cattle from
the 10th to the 27th of July
Company!
One moment.
You're a little nervous, sir.
- I just wanted a match.
- Oh yes, yes! Sure!
- There are many outsiders in the city.
- Yes, I see. What's?
A meeting on Saturday, here
in Abilene. For the first time,
will sell cattle here
instead of Kansas City.
People come from all over the country.
It will bring a lot of
money to the city.
A train will arrive with
half a million dollars.
It's a lot of money.
Yeah, but there will be soldiers on duty.
- Yeah... I guess.
- Thank you sir.
- Then?
- She will live.
But he's not
sure if she'll walk.
She will.
This must not happen again, Cam.
No more children.
Will not.
I'm spending the night
here with Michelle and Paul.
Look, rent a house here.
I'll need help when I
get back from Topeka.
Topeka?
I will pay a visit...
To the governor
of this territory.
Governor, I'm sure I can
lead Darcy into an ambush.
The Saturday train to
Abilene leaves at one o'clock,
with cattle buyers and
half a million dollars in gold.
Suppose there are no
cattle buyers on the train.
Suppose they are
full of federal troops.
You'll get Luke Darcy for sure.
Mr. and his troops
must be ready.
I'll give you the
details when I find out.
Just one thing.
An ambush can have two modes.
How do I know you won't
send one of these ways to me?
That's one time you'll
have to play, Governor.
Right.
Remember, I'll take you alive.
Don't cross my path.
Let's go with it!
- He said go home... now.
- Keep it up, men!
Here, here and here
will be our checkpoints.
He called me?
I know he's... a busy
and... mysterious man, but it
would be nice if he told us
why he's putting up weapons.
in a hay wagon.
Making changes to plans in
Abilene. So that there is no panic.
Doing what?
I didn't tell you last
night, Luke, but there
are things about taking
Abilene you don't know.
And you know, my
brilliant tactician.
That's right.
I wish I had spoken to him alone.
If you weren't so drunk
yesterday, I could have told you.
Okay, get out!
Well what is it?
Yesterday there was half a million
dollars worth of cattle in Abilene.
Today there are ten thousand, tomorrow there
will be 20. Coming from all over the country.
Because?
Because it's the first time
the sale will be in Abilene.
Not in Kansas
City, but in Abilene.
Do you know what it means?
Money coming. A lot of money.
At one o'clock on Saturday, a
train from Topeka will arrive with
the biggest cattle buyers from
Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.
and half a million dollars in gold.
How do you know?
I took the girl to Abilene
and I have connections.
Half a million dollars...
Do you know what that means to me?
- Kansas
- Guns, big guns, lots of them.
Enough to put a steel collar
in the territory for 50 years.
No one comes in, no one
leaves unless you say so.
All right, let's establish
the main objective.
Why this change of plans?
Alcohol and smoking must
have eaten the rest of your brain.
Abilene is watched, people are
watching the cattle, everything is watched.
At the slightest sign of trouble,
this train hadn't even left Topeka.
You're up to something.
I do not. Those were the
books he gave me to read.
- "The Fall of Troy".
- I know the book.
Sometimes it's better to
take the place from the inside.
And the ammo?
- In the hay wagon.
Walking
What about rail and troop
schedules? Is everything calculated?
A little bit of everything.
Very well, Mr.
Von Clausewitz. As?
The first thing you taught me is
never to plan a battle
before breakfast.
Wait there!
give me your weapons
Why, Lieutenant? Why outsiders?
No weapons can enter Abilene
until sunset on
the 27th of July.
Commander of the
6th Military District.
- Something big is going to happen here.
- That's right.
You... take it back
when you're gone.
Go, boys!
Go, let's go, go!
Next!
That's it.
Tell Darcy the train
arrives at one o'clock.
The guard changes at 12:45 pm.
Our men will arrive in twos or
threes and this will be our barracks.
- Right?
- What about her?
Worried?
- Tell him. - I'm with Bleeker.
If he's with Darcy,
I'm with Darcy.
Did you understand?
Beautiful work.
- How are you, Michelle?
- Come on, I'll show you.
Not now. There's no time,
you have to go to Topeka
to give the
governor final details.
Is the plan the same?
Will Darcy be here at the barracks?
One day and one night.
I think of my children so
close to such a bad thing.
Even for a day.
The plan won't work without them.
I know.
Thanks for coming, Ms. Dubois.
Tell Bleeker my men will
be on the one o'clock train.
- Goodnight.
- Good night, Governor.
Be careful, Ms. the step.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome, ma'am.
Excuse me sir.
Do you know who that
girl is who got on the train?
- I think I know her.
-No, she must be someone important.
Came to see the governor.
The governor?
Yeah, she climbed into his private car.
The governor...
Wait! stop!
Do you have any weapons with you?
Go, please go! Next!
Bring water for the horses.
Well, the mentor!
Very good, no?
Not bad. It's looking like
Hiawatha who came to tea.
- How is it going?
- As planned.
Fifty men have already entered.
The rest will be here tonight.
Excellent! Everything will be ready for the end.
It's all very simple.
Very routine.
At this time tomorrow...
Cam! Where are you?
Cam!
Everything went well, I...
This is Luke Darcy.
Looks like you saw Lucifer himself.
I don't know what Cam told you
about me, but I'm not that bad.
How are you, Mr. Darcy?
I know you didn't dress like that
because of me. Have you been traveling?
Well, I...
- He was in Topeka.
He went to get medicine for his daughter.
You know about the girl, Luke.
Yes I know.
I am very sorry if there
is anything I can do.
It's very kind.
Not. You are kind.
Taking a risk to help us.
A lot can be done, Mr. Darcy.
When you believe
in the end result.
Well said.
Well, I better go see the kids.
She's a very
beautiful woman, Cam.
She's just part of the plan,
nothing more, nothing less.
You don't want to fool a friend, do you?
You said yourself
they're like wine bottles.
Use them and throw them away.
It's my private stock.
Right, Darcy?
Whatever you say, friend.
everything you say.
Let's unload the weapons.
The sky is clean.
We have a big day
tomorrow. that will help us.
Tell my luck.
- What it says?
- Love.
- And this one?
- Death.
That's everyone's luck, friend.
One of them.
My mother used to laugh and say:
If a good one dies
young, I will live forever.
When I look at this lovely lady,
I am reminded of my mother.
She hugged me
to her knees and...
Can you imagine Darcy
on her mother's knees?
That's not easy.
She was very beautiful,
just like you are.
She had a voice that could
be sharp as a dagger or...
soft as a prayer.
I'm glad my friend
Bleeker found her.
- I'm going to see Michelle.
- Ma'am, can I come along?
- Well, I...
- I'd really like to see your girl.
Very good.
After tomorrow,
If there is a doctor
somewhere in
the world who
can help your child,
I'll see if he can come here.
You are a very
persuasive man, Mr. Darcy.
But I don't think
you really care.
Look at me.
Believe me, I care.
- She's resting.
- That's nice.
It's late, it's time to say good night.
Wait! It's cold in the barn.
Why don't you stay here?
It's more comfortable.
Thanks. I'll get my blanket.
- It's hard, isn't it?
- Yea.
- I mean, hate him.
- I know what you mean.
I'm not felt.
It happens, it's just...
I wish we weren't here.
- Do you feel dirty? - No.
- But why should it be so?
- It's the cool way.
The way the
governor and you want.
Tomorrow the troops
will leave Topeka at 1:00
and if you don't make
any mistakes, Jeanne,
By 1:30 am Luke
Darcy will be dead.
Right now, somewhere
out there, there's a
train with enough gold
for me to buy Kansas.
It wouldn't happen without you.
Without you.
In case I forget
to say it later.
Thanks.
First we have to take this city
Okay, let's go!
Deputy, I'm Luke Darcy, you're
being replaced from your job.
Captain, you have
a little problem.
Okay guys, get your guns.
Some of you don't know me.
My name is Luke Darcy.
I just took your city.
Do not be alarmed, my friends.
I didn't come to
steal, but to protect.
Not to break, but to build.
Not to hurt, but to help.
While others are
destroyed, we will build our
land, strong and wonderful,
safe and wonderful.
I will build hospitals
for your illnesses.
Schools for children.
New roads, new churches.
A new way of life.
I tell you, my friends.
Trust... trust me.
Now, I ask you to go
quickly to your homes.
We'll meet in the evening,
when I'll answer all your questions.
Until then. God bless them.
I want to talk to you.
I don't have much
time, so I'll be quick.
Cam, take this woman
and get out of here, now!
You cannot be faithful
to me and Jeanne.
I will spoil your
dream like I did before.
I can't do this again.
Take the kids and go...
anywhere.
California, Oregon...
Build a home for yourselves
and live that dream.
Don't worry about me.
I have what I want.
I have Kansas!
he let me go
Let the two of us go.
It was something I didn't expect.
Let me go.
I always knew he had to die.
I thought it would kill him.
It was my service. From
the beginning, my service.
Isn't it better this way?
They'll hang you, Jeanne.
In front of the whole city with
your hands tied behind you.
People laughing,
mocking and screaming.
Go home, Jeanne.
- Where's Darcy?
- Looking for something, friend?
Have you come to ask me for something, friend?
My good friend to whom I gave the dream.
Which is?
Your version of the fall of Troy,
with troops hiding on the train?
It's a little late.
Our friend Lordan
arrived first from
Topeka, this time
you were sloppy.
Don't play, Darcy.
You don't have much time.
Neither do you, my friend.
I'm talking get out of here.
Not until I solve a problem.
Don't worry, I'll take care of him.
No, this one I take care
of myself, in my own way.
Luke!
The troops are here. Thousands
of them, spreading across the city.
We will fight!
We don't have a chance.
There is only one way out. West!
Leave me a horse.
Bleeker and I will stay here.
The rest go back
to camp. Already!
You too.
I think we knew this
would happen one day.
You and me... alone.
Nobody deceives me but you.
They're close, Darcy.
Onward, march!
We have time. Long time.
Cold thing, the weapon.
An instrument of death for
those who need love, not hate.
Killing something you
once loved and now hates,
it's something you have to feel.
And kill and feel...
You can't use a gun.
Just answer me one thing.
Because?
I made a deal.
My life for yours.
- Was it a good proposal?
- It was the best I ever had.
Thanks.
It could have killed me a long
time ago. On any dark night.
They didn't want to.
They wanted him alive.
Swinging in a tree.
My friend!
My brother!
Get out of here, Darcy.
I'm telling you
to get out of here.
Stand up!
Go walking!
Sense!
Right. Let's give
them your clown,
to hang on that
beautiful new rope.
Let's not spoil the circus.
Let's give them their carnival.
Darcy... you talk a lot.
For there.
You tried it your way.
Now let's try mine.
put.
Right, my friend.
There's a horse out there.
The only thing to do
is get rid of me first.
What are you trying to do?
Be a hero?
Whenever you want, Darcy.
Now!
He is dead.
Why did he cross
my path, Bleeker?
I don't know, Governor.
What I do know is that
I couldn't let him hang.
I'm ready, anytime.
Bleeker, I don't know
why you didn't let him hang.
And I don't know
why I'm letting him go.
But... I feel we're both right.
There's a signed promise
in my office, go get it.
Thank you, Governor.
Load it!
I told you to load it!

"IN THE CROSSROADS OF THE BREAKERS"
Kansas Territory Just
before the Civil War
Are you alive!
I was told you were dead.
Are you alive!
Are you alive.
- Who is he mom?
- I've never seen him in all my life.
Help me, Paul, and
you too, Michelle.
Go to your room, children.
Fast!
Did he die, Mom?
Go to bed, it's late.
Obey me, Michelle.
Who are you?
Mom! Mom!
He woke up!
I can stay here?
Go play, children.
Do you feel better?
My name is Dubois,
Jeanne Dubois.
- Where is my wife?
- You're still very sick.
Nina, where is she?
I'm afraid it's not
good to get up.
Look, I don't know
what you're doing here in
the house, or why
you're giving orders too.
I will get up.
Put on that robe.
Or you might get cold.
I think it will do.
It belonged to my husband.
I have other clothes...
I came here looking for my wife.
I saw her.
That was 4 days ago, Mr. Bleeker.
It wasn't your wife who saw it.
It was me.
They said my wife was
dead. I didn't believe it.
I escaped from prison.
I still don't believe it!
- Where is she?
- I'm very sorry.
It was already there when we
bought the house 6 months ago.
I was told it was a man,
that she ran off with him.
Who was he?
- I don't know.
- I asked you a question, ma'am!
I already said I don't know.
I tried to figure it out.
I tried so hard to figure this out!
I wish I had all the answers,
for when you woke up.
So that you don't
get them yourself.
Don't worry about the problems.
I thought if I had the answers,
I wouldn't be so restless,
as long as you want to stay here.
I really need you, Mr. Bleeker.
There is a lot to do.
fields to clear, grain
to plant, build fences.
It's a lot of work
for a single woman.
I didn't risk escaping
from jail for the pleasure of
planting your grains that by
chance will grow on my land.
They are no longer yours.
They are mine. The lands, the house...
Bought with our money,
mine and my husband's.
But there are property rights.
Mr. Bleeker, you are a
criminal, a prisoner from Kansas.
You no longer
have property rights.
It was all confiscated by the
government and we bought it.
Looks like it solved
your problems.
Please understand me.
I desperately need you to stay.
But I prefer not to oblige.
Force me, ma'am?
He's a wanted man, and
he's too weak to travel
And in the city they've already
put up posters about a reward.
It's a pretty big reward.
All I want is to have a home
here for me and my children.
If this is not possible, we will
live very well, with the reward.
Looks like you have
your chance now.
Quick, this way!
Yea?
Sorry to bother you, Ms. Dubois
We heard that Cam
Bleeker came here.
He lived here. Mrs.
did you see him?
- No, I didn't see him.
- Mind if we look, ma'am?
Not at all.
- There's a reward for him, Mrs.
- Yes I know.
He escaped from prison.
The sheriff thinks he's
coming to your house.
He's been shot...
and he can be very aggressive.
Thanks for letting me know.
Don't give him a chance if he shows up.
He can deceive you, ma'am.
He may look like a boy,
but he's actually a savage.
It's better to have
a gun close by.
Is he really that dangerous?
Well, he caused a
lot of trouble here.
- I'll keep an eye out.
- Do it, Ms.
Remember, don't give him chances.
The reward says "dead or alive"
Thanks.
- See you later, ma'am.
- See you later.
- Did you see?
- Yea.
He's here, better wire Topeka.
Right!
Thanks.
Looks like I owe you!
Not what I wanted, Mr. Bleeker.
Where is your husband?
Not far from his
wife's cross is another.
What happened?
suddenly attacked us
- Guerrillas?
- Missouri Redskins
My husband and I are
from France, Mr. Bleeker.
He was a man with
strong... political convictions
Who believed that... freedom
was more than a simple word.
We were told that
if we came here, we
could help build a
country of free men.
We took the kids, and we came.
On the first day here in this country,
They asked him what
he thought of slavery.
He was slow to respond.
Then they shot.
It doesn't matter.
If he had said what he thought,
the end would have been the same.
We can't offer you what
you've lost, Mr Bleeker.
But here you will be welcome.
"Il est bien fort
maintenant maman".
- What did he say?
- Oh, nothing.
It's time for them to
learn to speak "American".
I try.
- The man...
- The man...
IT IS...
Good morning
- What he said
- He thinks you're too strong.
Et beau. Tres beau.
And she thinks you're very cute.
Pay attention!
If you're going to learn
English, you better learn it right!
- English?
- That's right.
I'll start with you, Paul.
I go, you go, she goes
I go, you go, she goes.
That's right. Now...
I won't, you won't, she won't.
I won't, you won't, she won't.
Trs bien, Maman, n'est pas.
Three good, Paul.
Soon he will speak English
as well as you, Mr. Bleeker.
Not that fast either.
Now learning the verb to prepare.
I prepare, he prepares
and she prepares.
I don't prepare, he doesn't
prepare, she doesn't prepare.
Is anyone ready to?
I think you've been
paying too much attention!
You have to excuse
her, she is a lady in love.
Michelle, are you
bothering Mr. Bleeker.
I am?
Well, not exactly, honey.
But a class won't
do you any harm.
Let me show you.
Well done, boys. spread out.
Get out Bleeker!
You don't stand a chance.
Get out before
the kids get hurt.
keep it.
Disassemble.
The prisoner.
All right, Bleeker, inside.
- Good night, Bleeker.
- Governor...
How long.
I haven't seen him since the trial.
I bet it got lonely.
Sit down.
I said sit down
smoke.
I imagine you're wondering
why the governor of Kansas
rode 300 miles to find the man
who could have been hanged.
only with the signature
of a document in Topeka.
If I knew how little time
I thought about what
the governor does, I
would probably start crying.
I'll tell you why I came, Bleeker.
Needless to say, governor.
I say it myself.
Need me.
I came to discover things I
didn't know at the time of your trial.
I have your history here.
He was born in
Texas, abandoned here
by his parents and
raised in an orphanage.
He ran away from there
early, and walked alone.
He must have been a gunslinger, that's for sure!
Then came the war in Mexico.
He formed his troop.
They called it the Bleeker
Brigade, with boys from Kansas.
They were good men, Governor.
So he went back to Kansas.
He met a nice girl, got
married and tried a new life.
A farmer.
Do you remember what happened then?
Something personal, Governor.
The fight for
Kansas began again.
There were attacks.
Southerners attacking the North
and the North attacking back.
But you didn't wait for an order.
He organized his troops and
took the law into his own laws.
That's a lie!
There were attacks,
of course. Many
southerners were
in danger in Missouri,
but his men who
were there returned.
Not caring who
was dying while you
kicked the southerners
out of Kansas
Kansas must remain northern!
What about the people
who didn't care about his war.
Or to be from the South or the
North, who just wanted to live in peace?
I got my boys together
when the attacks took place
- Some were injured.
- Some died!
That's right!
I call it protecting my home.
And I call it murder!
We're not going to
put this to a vote now.
Bleeker?
What do you think about
not being hanged, being able
to die of old age, being
able to start a new life?
What do you want, Governor?
A man to hang.
A man named Darcy.
- Luke Darcy?
- Do you know him?
- I've heard.
- What did you hear?
- Rumors?
- Which?
He led a team of guerrillas
Looks like he tried to
do the same thing I did.
Only he ran away.
Darcy is a madman who
wants to take Kansas for himself.
And he's taking it piece
by piece, day after day.
He has to be stopped.
And his brilliant army?
Nothing, we tried. He is hiding
at the base of the mountain.
Nobody can find it.
It's like following a ghost.
Luke Darcy has to be dug
up and I'm going to hang him.
I swore I'd do it
when I took this job
What do you want from me, Governor?
You can be used by him.
- He thinks?
- You match him.
Besides, he's the only
one who can find it.
- Then? - Go to him. join
Be a guerrilla.
Lure him to a place where I can
get my hands on him and hang him.
Bring me Luke Darcy
and you will be a free man.
This is his reward.
Do your dirty work yourself!
Bleeker...
You will get Luke Darcy for me.
Not because I want
but because you want it,
much more than I do, perhaps.
Do you know the name of the person
responsible for your wife's death?
Who won her in a fit, made
love to her, made her his
wife, who when he got
tired of her threw her away,
turning her into a beggar
who died of pneumonia?
- You are lying!
- Bleeker...
Do you think I would
lie about such a thing?
Luke Darcy is the man you want.
How you get it is your problem.
And remember this, Luke
Darcy is not just a crook.
He's a man who thinks
he's an emperor, a kind
of country Napoleon.
He is bold and smart.
- Maybe smarter than you.
- I'd like to start, Governor.
When you want.
I'll make it look cool, and
official reward posters.
Let it be a respectable sum.
Bleeker...
You may intend to deceive me
If you do, remember this...
I'll take him and I'll take you.
And I'll hang them one at a time,
on the same day, just like
the rest of the guerrillas.
You look like someone destined
to commit a lot of hangings
they convinced you
And you came to get your gun.
That's it.
- You'll kill someone for them.
- That's right.
Did they name the man
responsible for his wife's death?
That's what they did.
His name is Darcy.
- Luke Darcy?
- That one.
Now you're going to kill him.
An eye for an eye, is that it?
So-so.
You have no right to take
the life of a human being.
I have every right in the world.
You have no right to be
someone else's executioner.
You can't just kill...
Just because? Just because?
You broke my guitar.
Well done, boys. Back.
stopped!
If anyone moves, I kill.
We better part.
Thank you, outsider.
outsider? You know me, Jake.
Sure, Cam. I...
I just thought...
He's dressed in a
Missouri redskin.
That doesn't do
you any good, Jake.
Especially after Missouri fell.
What is the game?
For whom do you ride?
- Don't ask me...
- I asked who?
Darcy? Take me to him!
I can't, Cam. He will kill me.
Take me to him. Now!
Right!
- What's up, Jake?
- He's with me, his name is...
Tell Darcy I'm a
friend, a good friend
In between.
Wait there.
Gentlemen, when my
guerrillas take the city, I will
make you a promise, a
promise that will be kept.
Let's clear things up.
You said this man
broke into your store.
What did he steal?
I'm not talking about what he
stole, Mr. Darcy, but what he broke.
- Did he steal something?
- Yes, Mr. Darcy. He stole.
Is that true, Evans?
- I was a little drunk, Luke
- I... I...
- How much was stolen?
Maybe about 300 bucks.
Does that pay the damage?
Yes sir Darcy.
Of course it covers. Thanks.
Everyone can get drunk.
It was a mistake.
A fatal mistake.
Run it immediately.
Far from the city.
Can't do that.
I have a wife and two children.
Take him away!
I have a wife and two children!
Can't do it!
We've been friends a long time, Luke!
Are you satisfied, gentleman?
- I disapprove of violence, Mr. Darcy.
- Me too, Sam.
We both know that
violence causes violence.
It is the nature of our time.
One of my men, broke my
word to you, and
paid with his life.
A harsh justice, perhaps.
I promised peace... and protection,
and I intend to keep my promise.
Your homes are safe.
Get back to your jobs, gentlemen.
The city is in good hands.
- Thanks.
- Thank you, Mr. Darcy.
These... peaceful and civilized
audiences make me thirsty.
So... I hear we're
friends. Hello friend.
Hello Mr. Darcy.
Too bad I have a short memory,
I don't remember meeting you.
- Didn't know.
- So that doesn't make us friends.
We will be in the future.
Future friends. That's nice!
It's good to know we have a future.
You'll talk about that later.
Now we'll talk about
another friend's future
My friend Jake Barton who
knows my laws and broke them.
He said he knew you well,
Luke. Otherwise I wouldn't bring it.
- How long have you been with me, Jake?
- Four years.
- Always loyal?
- I've always been on the line.
- And you never broke a law?
- None and you know it.
Good record.
A man with such a
record knows that Darcy's
laws are to be kept and
not broken, not once.
- Luke, I couldn't help it.
- I like you, Jake.
I always liked it.
This is a very important law.
No one can be brought to
Darcy without permission.
It was not my fault!
Bad luck for you, Jake.
He is yours.
Luke...please don't
Mr Darcy...
Jake broke his mighty
law because I made him.
If he wants to kill someone, my friend.
Try me.
He said he's a friend.
Please do me this favor.
When you're done... Sir.
Now turn around, friend.
What does he use it for?
You put on a good show, friend.
Clear. If I got it wrong it
would blow my head off
Why all this fuss?
Simple.
I wanted to impress you.
Because?
- I want to be with you.
- I ask again why?
Whatever you need
most, I'm the best.
What I need most, I'm the best.
No!
You... humiliated him.
Someday he will have to
kill you, but not until I say so.
So I have little time.
All right, that's all we got.
Shortly.
Mostly alone. Goes fast.
A man... sings, loves, fights...
Then there is nothing.
Dust... a leaf that
falls and disappears.
Who are you?
My name is Bleeker.
- Cam Bleeker?
- That.
You are a known man.
Have you ever heard of me?
Heard of you?
Brigades from Mexico, attacks
that caused him problems.
Of course I've heard
of Cam Bleeker.
- We have friends in common.
- I understood
I heard he was under arrest.
I ran away.
This is not an easy thing to do.
He had to get away, or he would go mad.
I had to find out what
happened to my wife.
- She stopped writing to me.
- Do you have a wife?
Had a wife. She died.
This is bad.
It's hard to lose someone you love.
How she died?
Pneumonia, the doctor said.
This is bad.
She was home alone.
No one to take care of her.
Thought it was the old
story, got another man
and ran away drank too
much or maybe or worse
- I ran away and learned the truth.
- And what was it?
It wasn't another man. She
died from working so hard.
Planting the crop,
tending the crop.
It left her weak.
So she has no wife and no home.
Just a price on my head.
5,000 dollars.
Which I would like to get.
And then Mr. Darcy?
Sit down, Bleeker!
It would be foolish if I pretended...
don't need a man like you.
Even though we admit to needing
you, we need to havemutual trust.
Who knows?
They say that anything is possible.
- Wine?
- I never touch it.
Whiskey?
Luke! Luke!
Evans has escaped
and is coming to town.
He wants to get you, Luke.
It's a shame to disappoint
him, he's an old friend...
Watch out!
Bleeker is a good man.
Too good to be true.
Take two men and find
out where he came from.
Find out what he really wants.
This is a disgusting sight!
Get them out of there!
And bury them like men!
Let's get out of here!
"Man is born of woman. He
has a short life full of misery.
He is born and dies like a flower.
It passes quickly, like a shadow
and never remains in the same state."
Man must die... with dignity.
What is the difference?
Death is death.
No!
There are thousands of ways to die.
The man finds his.
Hanging on a rope
with puffy eyes, your
legs dangling and
your tongue sticking out,
this is for an animal
and not for a man.
You're afraid of a
hanging, aren't you?
I once saw the hanging of
a man I loved, my brother.
I like life more than anything.
For him I would give up everything.
Made me stand with my
hands tied, watching your torture
In many ways, you
remind me of my brother.
I'm glad he came.
There they are, the
Kansas country starters.
It looks like an army
and works like an army.
What do you have for us?
Lets go in.
Save it!
One hell of a nest. Memories?
Most are... gifts.
Little moments from
my loyal followers.
This heater was from the
town hall in Watson's Junction.
This one, a gift from the
Royal Hotel in Emmettsville.
From Levinsen's
warehouse in Sedalia.
These... are from the
Morgan Town library.
Feel free.
I don't know if I can...
with all these books.
scare you?
Always something that knows
more than I do scares me.
- Wine?
- Whiskey.
Right. You said
you never touch it.
I see you have good
taste in fine things.
Let's toast... to the future.
And Napoleon?
Did you drink wine too?
He had his own vineyards.
I met a friend, a colonel
in Mexico, during the war.
He had an idea of
being a... Roman king.
He called himself...
Alexander the Great.
He was Greek.
Poor thing...
They hung him up and killed him.
I'm not sure I'm liking
what you're saying.
Mr. Darcy, I don't know much about
history, but one more thing I do know.
Many men tried to
take many places.
Even in this country.
They never did.
Because they never learned.
Learn?
You cannot do this alone.
The people have to be with you.
See this French. He came close.
Paris... Moscow...
He had to go from here to here
Do you know why it failed?
For two reasons.
Supplies were cut off
and the people hated him.
He arrived in Moscow...
But the people had left
and the place was on fire.
On the way back, in the snow,
he lost his army and the world.
You take small towns.
- One by one.
- And make people like you.
- That's right.
Also, one by one?
No!
They come to me too fast
I make them see that they need me.
Before I enter the city,
she was attacked
by Missouri redskins.
I knew this, for the
Missouri redskins
are my men in
different uniforms.
The next day, when I
arrive with my guerrillas,
I am, the big daddy who will
protect you against sordid attackers.
Believe me, I don't
need to take the cities.
They deliver it to me.
- Looks like nothing's gonna stop him.
- That's right.
I will take city by city through the
territory until I take the main one.
Taking Abilene, I take the railroad.
Taking the railroad, we'll take Kansas.
Any question?
Taking Kansas is
different from keeping it.
I will keep it.
With weapons and with men.
Big guns and trained men.
I will train them and
buy many more weapons.
Enough to not let my
parents take me away.
Looks like you've evaluated
everything, Mr. Darcy.
But one thing worries me.
Many innocent
people could be hurt.
It will happen.
If you think I like that
part, you're wrong.
This is a war I'm fighting.
War has its victims and martyrs.
Unpleasant needs.
But let me tell
you this, before I
perish I will give
the people of Kansas
a great and great country.
With a life richer
than elsewhere.
As long as they live their way.
may want our way.
Our way, Darcy?
- Water for my horse, madam?
- Over there.
- Lives here?
- This place is mine.
Oh yeah? I heard it
was from Cam Bleeker.
- He's a friend of Mr. Bleeker?
That's right, it's my friend.
- Have you seen him?
- I saw him the day before yesterday.
- And... is he all right?
He is fine, very fine.
This is a nice place.
Is your husband around?
Children... without a man.
It must be tough, my lady.
What you want?
Just imagining, ma'am...
Mrs. Bleeker.
What's with her? How she died?
Bleeker asked me to find out.
- But he knows!
- He knows?
Well I think.
And how it was,
I'm not right.
There's a town nearby,
maybe they know.
It's... Maybe...
I already have
some friends asking.
Was it you...
who cut this wood yourself?
Or was it Bleeker who cut it?
I'd like to cut it
for you myself.
Cute hands with an ax
No need to be scared, ma'am.
Not very friendly.
But was it with Bleeker?
He will kill you! he will kill
you like he will kill Darcy!
You did me a big favor, ma'am.
I will show you my esteem.
We'll meet again, ma'am.
And when it does, you'll see
how grateful a man can be.
Remember where we
left off, for next time,
will be where we start.
- Hey you! Where is Darcy?
- At home!
Alone?
- Darcy wants to see you
- Later.
Want to see you now.
Leave the weapon. It's social.
In between!
Come in friend!
Drink something.
Thanks.
I was thinking about you
there alone. I was worried.
He's a true friend. Hello lady!
- Goodnight! A whiskey?
- Yes ma'am.
- Do you think she's pretty?
- Clear.
She is yours.
That's what I call
true friendship.
Or do you prefer this one?
She's a little small for me.
It no longer serves me.
Let's talk, Darcy.
Maybe better.
You two go to the other room.
Wait!
- Are you married?
- Clear!
Where is your husband?
I don't know. In the
army, somewhere.
You see my friend, you almost
messed up with
another man's wife.
Didn't know she was married.
- One rarely knows.
- One must find out.
Perhaps. I never worry.
To me, a woman is like wine.
It's something to be appreciated.
When there's nothing
left in the bottle,
throw it away and get another one.
With a difference.
The wine you sometimes know
the name of, the woman never.
I once met a very
beautiful woman.
I was wrong to know her name.
- She died Darcy.
- I'm sorry she's dead.
You threw it away like
your empty wine bottles.
I don't deny it.
You know why I came, don't you?
I play high. I always played.
Machete!
I could say a lot to make
him change his mind.
I could say, "I'm sorry!
I didn't know I was sick.
I won't do it again!"
It wouldn't be true.
I don't apologize for who
I am and what I've done.
I don't ask for any forgiveness.
I only ask you to accept me.
Accept your wife.
Yes, accept her as a human being with
all of one's weaknesses and mistakes.
If you want to blame
someone, blame yourself, who
thought she was a saint
without human desires.
If she wants to shoot, shoot
the pedestal you put her on.
If you want to destroy something,
destroy the dream you have.
Who refuses to admit that
she was a lonely, adorable,
beautiful girl who needs
to hear a man say that.
Don't be wrong, Bleeker.
When I said that, I meant it.
I make quick decisions, as
well as quick likes and dislikes.
When I do, I move fast
It was like that with her and it will be with you.
I'm telling you this because...
I don't like to lie to you.
Between us, there is
nothing but the truth.
- Answer me something.
- Anything.
Did she say she loved you?
Yup.
Tomorrow is going
to be a big day, Luke.
See you tomorrow.
You will have peace, my friends!
Here will be our land!
Our home!
Our Kansas!
It's an ambush!
Let's get out of here!
Security is in place.
How's the shoulder?
It was superficial,
not very deep.
Let me see.
Got a knife?
You have to clean it,
I use it to skin coyote.
It has coyote blood.
It's not exactly like
skinning a coyote.
Let's see how brave the great man is.
Now you're a doctor!?
I could go to
Abilene and get one.
You would be happy to pay $5 for
the operation and 10,000 to bring it.
Maybe you like one of
your European wines.
Whiskey.
I feel. No whiskey in the raids.
Boss orders.
Ready, Luke?
- What's our next city?
- Knights Crossing.
- Have you ever lived there?
- I've been there.
- It seems to me that it was the place...
- It was the place...
I'm sorry, Luke.
You... prefer not to go
on the attack of this place?
It's just another city.
Mind if I go out for a bit?
Something special?
- Personal business.
- What kind... of personal business?
Let's say I didn't
say it... friend.
So I don't ask you... friend.
I'll be back tomorrow,
or the next day.
- Worried, Luke?
- Should I stay?
See you tomorrow
or the next day.
I'll take this, Jake.
Bleeker will travel.
I want to know where.
- We will!
- He went that way!
Do as I say!
- Mrs. Dubois
- Cam.
- Cam...
- I'm sorry I scared you.
I shouldn't have come,
it's too dangerous.
Don't worry, I won't be long.
I brought this... for Michelle.
It may not be the best guitar in the world.
It's a beautiful guitar.
Tell me... did you...
Did you do what you
said you were going to do?
About killing Luke Darcy?
Not.
Thank God. Welcome back.
Come! The children
will be happy to see you.
I'm not enjoying this, Lordan.
He saved my life.
Right.
You will cry at his funeral.
Cam...
I want to kiss you good night.
- Do you think I should?
- I think I should.
Thank you Miss.
- Bonne nuit, Cam.
- Bonne nuit.
Okay men, let's go!
- We can go back now.
- Aren't we going to wait?
For what? What is a
hanging after $5000?
We will!
We have a long way to go.
- They're great kids.
- Thanks.
- You're taking good care of them.
- I try, but you never know.
The teacher said
they're learning fast, but...
This is for you.
- Money?
- A loan.
You must get out of here for now.
- Take the kids and go!
- Go?
For a while.
There will be problems.
What kind of problems?
Of the big ones. I don't want you
and the kids here when it happens.
How do you know there's
going to be trouble around here?
Cam, how do you know that?
What happened to
you since you left?
- I joined Darcy.
- No.
Not in the way you're thinking.
I made a deal with the
governor, my life for Darcy's.
I joined him to ambush
him and hang him.
But you don't want to
go through with it, do you?
- I did not say that.
- No need, it's obvious!
Jeanne, Luke Darcy is
not what I thought he was.
He destroyed your woman.
Never has a man had as much
to hate as I hate Luke Darcy
I hated him from the start, and
I've been hating him ever since.
God knows that, but I can't.
There is another side of
this man that is very big.
More powerful that makes you
like him, whether you like it or not.
He has ideas,
Jeanne, great ideas...
maybe for the good of
the people of Kansas,
maybe for the good of
the people of America.
I've heard it before.
Great ideas from great men!
They know better than
anyone what is best.
They promise the world,
and if you give in a little
Your freedom, your dignity, the
right to be a decent
human being.
How flattering "Darcy's" are.
- How demonic they are!
- Jeanne...
I saw them in Europe,
I know what I'm saying.
They destroy their lives, they
spit on the lives of those used.
People like you who make
you filthier than they are.
You are rotten too!
As rotten as he is!
Oh Cam.
Get out of here in a week.
Hey! behold, the righteous
has returned from the dead.
Look who's here! A ghost!
So, Cam, how did you do it, boy?
How did you do it man?
We thought it was dead.
Cam, how glad I am to see you!
I'm happy as ever!
I don't know how you got it?
What was there? went crazy?
We thought he had died,
that he had been hanged.
Where did you hear that?
Let's celebrate, this
deserves a drink.
What is this all about, Luke?
How did you know I was caught?
Lordan, look who's back!
- Hi, Bleeker.
- How did you know I was caught?
- I just knew that.
- Who told you. Luke?
- I'll inspect the men!
Wait, Lordan.
Right! After you left I sent
two of the boys after you.
- What boys?
- Lordan and Jake.
- What did you tell him, Lordan?
- What I saw.
Who appeared in the city, someone
saw him and they went after him.
We think you've been caught.
One thing is wrong, Lordan.
I didn't show up in
town, just at the house.
Nobody knew I was there.
Just you and Jake.
- I want to know who told the sheriff.
- I don't know.
Jake!
Jake, come here!
- Yes, Luke?
- I'll find out and fast.
Jake, what happened
at Knights Crossing?
I have nothing
to do with it, Luke.
Cam, you saved my
life, I owe you that.
It was all Lordan's
idea, he wanted to do it.
Sloppy again, Lordan.
Should have stayed to be sure.
You lying pig.
Stop him!
Did he manage to escape?
This is a pity.
One of my favorite bottles.
- I shouldn't have killed him, Luke.
- He almost killed us.
Lordan, yes!
He deserved a bullet, not Jake.
Not a poor fool like Jake.
Bury him and pray for fool
Jake if you like him that much.
- I killed him for you!
- I kill myself if necessary!
when it is necessary
You're right.
Shouldn't have done that.
I lost control, this is bad.
When Lordan came back,
he told us you were dead.
At first I thought it would
be bad because of the plan...
Without you the chances
of success were less
Suddenly...
I felt the same when...
like when my younger brother..
was killed.
It's not sentimentality.
It's the way I feel.
Let me see your shoulder.
She's starting to bleed.
It won't be good for
the next ten days.
Then we'll go to... Knights Crossing.
Will I be ready to lead the charge?
In ten days? It really will.
Come on, get on with it!
Load it faster!
Hurry up boys, get those guns.
Let's go for a walk, teacher!
Take your hands off me!
Let me go.
We will!
Hey! Put her down!
She put me down!
Cam!
Cam!
Cam!
- Michelle! Come back!
- Cam...
-Is she very hurt?
- Yea
- She shouldn't have run.
- Leave her
I'll take you home.
Put her down, it's an order!
I know her and I'm
taking her home!
Disobeying an order
will be risking her
life and mine just
for a girl, is that it?
That's right, Darcy. A girl.
You and I are going to
have a talk when I get back.
That is, if you come back.
Mom!
Mom!
Michelle, she is very hurt.
Is she... Is she dead?
She is alive.
Mon baby. Mon cherry.
Paul, bring some water.
- She needs a doctor.
- I'm going to Knights Crossing.
- There's no doctor there.
- There's a doctor in Abilene.
It will take a long time
for you to come back.
Let's take you there.
If she had gone like I said.
Yes... If we had left, it
wouldn't have been Michelle.
Maybe I was lucky, and another
mother would be
crying for her child there
This is your peace and that of Mr. Darcy?
- Brings peace by killing children.
- Jeanne!
Assassin!
That's right.
It's going to be okay.
From now on it will
be your way. I promise.
Your way!
ABILENE Sale of cattle from
the 10th to the 27th of July
Company!
One moment.
You're a little nervous, sir.
- I just wanted a match.
- Oh yes, yes! Sure!
- There are many outsiders in the city.
- Yes, I see. What's?
A meeting on Saturday, here
in Abilene. For the first time,
will sell cattle here
instead of Kansas City.
People come from all over the country.
It will bring a lot of
money to the city.
A train will arrive with
half a million dollars.
It's a lot of money.
Yeah, but there will be soldiers on duty.
- Yeah... I guess.
- Thank you sir.
- Then?
- She will live.
But he's not
sure if she'll walk.
She will.
This must not happen again, Cam.
No more children.
Will not.
I'm spending the night
here with Michelle and Paul.
Look, rent a house here.
I'll need help when I
get back from Topeka.
Topeka?
I will pay a visit...
To the governor
of this territory.
Governor, I'm sure I can
lead Darcy into an ambush.
The Saturday train to
Abilene leaves at one o'clock,
with cattle buyers and
half a million dollars in gold.
Suppose there are no
cattle buyers on the train.
Suppose they are
full of federal troops.
You'll get Luke Darcy for sure.
Mr. and his troops
must be ready.
I'll give you the
details when I find out.
Just one thing.
An ambush can have two modes.
How do I know you won't
send one of these ways to me?
That's one time you'll
have to play, Governor.
Right.
Remember, I'll take you alive.
Don't cross my path.
Let's go with it!
- He said go home... now.
- Keep it up, men!
Here, here and here
will be our checkpoints.
He called me?
I know he's... a busy
and... mysterious man, but it
would be nice if he told us
why he's putting up weapons.
in a hay wagon.
Making changes to plans in
Abilene. So that there is no panic.
Doing what?
I didn't tell you last
night, Luke, but there
are things about taking
Abilene you don't know.
And you know, my
brilliant tactician.
That's right.
I wish I had spoken to him alone.
If you weren't so drunk
yesterday, I could have told you.
Okay, get out!
Well what is it?
Yesterday there was half a million
dollars worth of cattle in Abilene.
Today there are ten thousand, tomorrow there
will be 20. Coming from all over the country.
Because?
Because it's the first time
the sale will be in Abilene.
Not in Kansas
City, but in Abilene.
Do you know what it means?
Money coming. A lot of money.
At one o'clock on Saturday, a
train from Topeka will arrive with
the biggest cattle buyers from
Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.
and half a million dollars in gold.
How do you know?
I took the girl to Abilene
and I have connections.
Half a million dollars...
Do you know what that means to me?
- Kansas
- Guns, big guns, lots of them.
Enough to put a steel collar
in the territory for 50 years.
No one comes in, no one
leaves unless you say so.
All right, let's establish
the main objective.
Why this change of plans?
Alcohol and smoking must
have eaten the rest of your brain.
Abilene is watched, people are
watching the cattle, everything is watched.
At the slightest sign of trouble,
this train hadn't even left Topeka.
You're up to something.
I do not. Those were the
books he gave me to read.
- "The Fall of Troy".
- I know the book.
Sometimes it's better to
take the place from the inside.
And the ammo?
- In the hay wagon.
Walking
What about rail and troop
schedules? Is everything calculated?
A little bit of everything.
Very well, Mr.
Von Clausewitz. As?
The first thing you taught me is
never to plan a battle
before breakfast.
Wait there!
give me your weapons
Why, Lieutenant? Why outsiders?
No weapons can enter Abilene
until sunset on
the 27th of July.
Commander of the
6th Military District.
- Something big is going to happen here.
- That's right.
You... take it back
when you're gone.
Go, boys!
Go, let's go, go!
Next!
That's it.
Tell Darcy the train
arrives at one o'clock.
The guard changes at 12:45 pm.
Our men will arrive in twos or
threes and this will be our barracks.
- Right?
- What about her?
Worried?
- Tell him. - I'm with Bleeker.
If he's with Darcy,
I'm with Darcy.
Did you understand?
Beautiful work.
- How are you, Michelle?
- Come on, I'll show you.
Not now. There's no time,
you have to go to Topeka
to give the
governor final details.
Is the plan the same?
Will Darcy be here at the barracks?
One day and one night.
I think of my children so
close to such a bad thing.
Even for a day.
The plan won't work without them.
I know.
Thanks for coming, Ms. Dubois.
Tell Bleeker my men will
be on the one o'clock train.
- Goodnight.
- Good night, Governor.
Be careful, Ms. the step.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome, ma'am.
Excuse me sir.
Do you know who that
girl is who got on the train?
- I think I know her.
-No, she must be someone important.
Came to see the governor.
The governor?
Yeah, she climbed into his private car.
The governor...
Wait! stop!
Do you have any weapons with you?
Go, please go! Next!
Bring water for the horses.
Well, the mentor!
Very good, no?
Not bad. It's looking like
Hiawatha who came to tea.
- How is it going?
- As planned.
Fifty men have already entered.
The rest will be here tonight.
Excellent! Everything will be ready for the end.
It's all very simple.
Very routine.
At this time tomorrow...
Cam! Where are you?
Cam!
Everything went well, I...
This is Luke Darcy.
Looks like you saw Lucifer himself.
I don't know what Cam told you
about me, but I'm not that bad.
How are you, Mr. Darcy?
I know you didn't dress like that
because of me. Have you been traveling?
Well, I...
- He was in Topeka.
He went to get medicine for his daughter.
You know about the girl, Luke.
Yes I know.
I am very sorry if there
is anything I can do.
It's very kind.
Not. You are kind.
Taking a risk to help us.
A lot can be done, Mr. Darcy.
When you believe
in the end result.
Well said.
Well, I better go see the kids.
She's a very
beautiful woman, Cam.
She's just part of the plan,
nothing more, nothing less.
You don't want to fool a friend, do you?
You said yourself
they're like wine bottles.
Use them and throw them away.
It's my private stock.
Right, Darcy?
Whatever you say, friend.
everything you say.
Let's unload the weapons.
The sky is clean.
We have a big day
tomorrow. that will help us.
Tell my luck.
- What it says?
- Love.
- And this one?
- Death.
That's everyone's luck, friend.
One of them.
My mother used to laugh and say:
If a good one dies
young, I will live forever.
When I look at this lovely lady,
I am reminded of my mother.
She hugged me
to her knees and...
Can you imagine Darcy
on her mother's knees?
That's not easy.
She was very beautiful,
just like you are.
She had a voice that could
be sharp as a dagger or...
soft as a prayer.
I'm glad my friend
Bleeker found her.
- I'm going to see Michelle.
- Ma'am, can I come along?
- Well, I...
- I'd really like to see your girl.
Very good.
After tomorrow,
If there is a doctor
somewhere in
the world who
can help your child,
I'll see if he can come here.
You are a very
persuasive man, Mr. Darcy.
But I don't think
you really care.
Look at me.
Believe me, I care.
- She's resting.
- That's nice.
It's late, it's time to say good night.
Wait! It's cold in the barn.
Why don't you stay here?
It's more comfortable.
Thanks. I'll get my blanket.
- It's hard, isn't it?
- Yea.
- I mean, hate him.
- I know what you mean.
I'm not felt.
It happens, it's just...
I wish we weren't here.
- Do you feel dirty? - No.
- But why should it be so?
- It's the cool way.
The way the
governor and you want.
Tomorrow the troops
will leave Topeka at 1:00
and if you don't make
any mistakes, Jeanne,
By 1:30 am Luke
Darcy will be dead.
Right now, somewhere
out there, there's a
train with enough gold
for me to buy Kansas.
It wouldn't happen without you.
Without you.
In case I forget
to say it later.
Thanks.
First we have to take this city
Okay, let's go!
Deputy, I'm Luke Darcy, you're
being replaced from your job.
Captain, you have
a little problem.
Okay guys, get your guns.
Some of you don't know me.
My name is Luke Darcy.
I just took your city.
Do not be alarmed, my friends.
I didn't come to
steal, but to protect.
Not to break, but to build.
Not to hurt, but to help.
While others are
destroyed, we will build our
land, strong and wonderful,
safe and wonderful.
I will build hospitals
for your illnesses.
Schools for children.
New roads, new churches.
A new way of life.
I tell you, my friends.
Trust... trust me.
Now, I ask you to go
quickly to your homes.
We'll meet in the evening,
when I'll answer all your questions.
Until then. God bless them.
I want to talk to you.
I don't have much
time, so I'll be quick.
Cam, take this woman
and get out of here, now!
You cannot be faithful
to me and Jeanne.
I will spoil your
dream like I did before.
I can't do this again.
Take the kids and go...
anywhere.
California, Oregon...
Build a home for yourselves
and live that dream.
Don't worry about me.
I have what I want.
I have Kansas!
he let me go
Let the two of us go.
It was something I didn't expect.
Let me go.
I always knew he had to die.
I thought it would kill him.
It was my service. From
the beginning, my service.
Isn't it better this way?
They'll hang you, Jeanne.
In front of the whole city with
your hands tied behind you.
People laughing,
mocking and screaming.
Go home, Jeanne.
- Where's Darcy?
- Looking for something, friend?
Have you come to ask me for something, friend?
My good friend to whom I gave the dream.
Which is?
Your version of the fall of Troy,
with troops hiding on the train?
It's a little late.
Our friend Lordan
arrived first from
Topeka, this time
you were sloppy.
Don't play, Darcy.
You don't have much time.
Neither do you, my friend.
I'm talking get out of here.
Not until I solve a problem.
Don't worry, I'll take care of him.
No, this one I take care
of myself, in my own way.
Luke!
The troops are here. Thousands
of them, spreading across the city.
We will fight!
We don't have a chance.
There is only one way out. West!
Leave me a horse.
Bleeker and I will stay here.
The rest go back
to camp. Already!
You too.
I think we knew this
would happen one day.
You and me... alone.
Nobody deceives me but you.
They're close, Darcy.
Onward, march!
We have time. Long time.
Cold thing, the weapon.
An instrument of death for
those who need love, not hate.
Killing something you
once loved and now hates,
it's something you have to feel.
And kill and feel...
You can't use a gun.
Just answer me one thing.
Because?
I made a deal.
My life for yours.
- Was it a good proposal?
- It was the best I ever had.
Thanks.
It could have killed me a long
time ago. On any dark night.
They didn't want to.
They wanted him alive.
Swinging in a tree.
My friend!
My brother!
Get out of here, Darcy.
I'm telling you
to get out of here.
Stand up!
Go walking!
Sense!
Right. Let's give
them your clown,
to hang on that
beautiful new rope.
Let's not spoil the circus.
Let's give them their carnival.
Darcy... you talk a lot.
For there.
You tried it your way.
Now let's try mine.
put.
Right, my friend.
There's a horse out there.
The only thing to do
is get rid of me first.
What are you trying to do?
Be a hero?
Whenever you want, Darcy.
Now!
He is dead.
Why did he cross
my path, Bleeker?
I don't know, Governor.
What I do know is that
I couldn't let him hang.
I'm ready, anytime.
Bleeker, I don't know
why you didn't let him hang.
And I don't know
why I'm letting him go.
But... I feel we're both right.
There's a signed promise
in my office, go get it.
Thank you, Governor.
Load it!
I told you to load it!
