Walker: Independence (2022) s01e11 Episode Script

Abby.
Calian. I didn't think
I'd see you back so soon.
Well, a lot has happened.
My people are in danger.
The railroad's coming,
sooner than we thought,
through our camp.
They've been warned
to clear out. If they stay,
there will be a war.
And I've seen what happens
when a small band
tries to fight back,
which is what the new chief plans to do.
Entire camps wiped out.
Men, women, children slaughtered.
I can't imagine.
What can we do?
Nothing. That's why I've come
to see the sheriff.
Tom? What does he have
to do with any of this?
I need to buy some time
with the railroad.
The men in charge won't listen to me.
Maybe they'll listen to
someone with connections.
I tried to tell him,
Tom ain't gonna lift a finger
unless there's something in it for him.
I don't care what it takes.
I'm not ready to let
my people go to war.
Let me talk to Tom.
He might be more inclined
to listen to me.
I want to help.
If there's a legal recourse,
- we should focus on that.
- Abby,
your laws don't care about me
or my people, but
thank you for talking to the sheriff.
All right, see you, Burt.
Thanks for coming by.
I'll find you later.
Calian's been through a lot lately.
Still, I can't understand
what would possess him
to get into bed with a man like Tom.
I know you have your suspicions,
but Shane is the one
who can't be trusted.
If his brother's the killer,
why'd he let him go?
No offense, but your doubts,
they don't make Tom innocent.
Shane fled.
Tom said himself, he sent telegrams
to sheriffs all around asking for help.
Telegrams?
So, how can I help?
Uh, sheriff ever stop by?
Send out a few telegrams earlier?
Yeah, he sure did.
Uh, two of them, anyway.
One to Texarkana and one to Boston.
Just two, huh?
Is everything all right, Gus?
Never better.
Appreciate you for your help.
Good morning, Miss Walker.
You can call me Abby, you know.
We're not exactly strangers.
Was quite the storm
last night, wasn't it?
Look, if you feel that what
happened between us was
improper, I would understand.
I know working together
can complicate matters.
I'm perfectly comfortable
handling any complications.
Okay.
Good.
Well,
speaking of work,
I'm off to finish what
the dust cut short.
You're going after Shane on your own?
I'll be fine. I need to be back tonight.
Big meeting tomorrow.
Two men coming in to sign
a land deed that will make
the railroad official.
It's also going to uproot
Calian and his entire tribe.
There's got to be something you
can say to change their minds.
Well, unfortunately,
that's out of my control.
I'm just a small-town sheriff.
U.S. government will do as they please.
The railroad is very profitable to them.
Hmm.
But that said, if anyone
can move mountains,
it's you, Abby.
I could greet your guests,
make them feel welcome.
You would do that?
Of course.
I just need their names.
All right.
Kirby Smith at H&TC Railway
and Parker Briggs
is a Land Office agent.
He's done business with my Aunt Teresa,
- so she would appreciate you doing this for her.
- Hmm.
All the travel details are there.
Smith is arriving on the noon coach.
He has a rather
sizable mustache.
And Briggs
should be arriving at that time
as well.
Molly.
Everything all right?
Afraid not. I'm here
to report a burglary.
During the storm last night,
someone broke into the store
and made a darn mess.
Why would someone steal cotton swabs
and a sewing kit, of all things?
Strange indeed.
I'll look into it.
- Thank you, Sheriff.
- Thank you.
Perhaps we could
continue this conversation.
Dinner tonight? At my cabin?
I'd like that,
but please
be careful.
Always am.
Gonna make Lucia jealous
looking at the whiskey like that.
Calian! Been too long.
Ha!
What? What is it, buddy?
Something's wrong. I can tell.
Yeah, come on.
How about
we rob the train that
carries the supplies
to build the railroad?
No supplies, no railroad.
They'll just bring more supplies.
Then we rob them again.
Maybe we consider a plan
that doesn't involve robbery.
What can I get you, young man?
Glass of milk?
Sody water?
How about all your money instead?
Whoa, whoa.
I can see I may have
offended you, my young friend.
I apologize for assuming
you were a milk drinker.
The money! Now!
Or else.
Don't you come any closer.
I admire your spirit, I really do,
but I think we all know
you weren't really gonna shoot anybody.
You want to bet?
Hey! N
Now, what did you do that for?
Don't feel bad, son.
I'm doing you a favor.
You ain't ready for this.
- I am so.
- No, you're not.
You should listen to him.
It was a bad idea.
Now, let's not come
down too hard on the lad.
His heart's in the right place.
You can make a good living as an outlaw.
You just need a little guidance.
Forget what I said.
Um, don't listen to him.
Look, first of all,
if you're gonna rob a place,
do it at the end of the day
when there's money in the till,
not first thing in the morning.
- That's a good idea.
- Another thing,
get yourself a second gun.
It's way more impressive
if you have two,
and you're more likely to hit something
if you do have to pull that trigger.
Hoyt, you realize he's just a kid.
That's a good point, Calian.
Try sticking up a rich guy or two first
before you try a place of business.
- Helps build confidence.
- Thanks.
But, uh
how come you're being so nice to me?
Well, you remind me of me
when I was young, I guess.
In that case, kid,
you're gonna want to find
yourself a better mentor.
Don't press your luck.
- Seriously?
- I like that kid.
Ooh, look here, girls.
Tom Davidson's back.
Want to come upstairs?
- We'll give you the Sheriff's Special.
- Thank you,
but no. I'm looking for the one
I spoke to the other day.
Ruby.
Excuse me.
- Ruby?
- He can arrest me any day.
I'll be right with you, sugar.
- What is it, Sheriff?
- Has Shane been back here?
Came in last night.
Got stuck out in that storm, I guess.
- Looked beat to hell.
- He say anything to you?
Just that he wanted a soak and a poke.
Wasn't so pleased with me calling you
last time he didn't pay,
but he paid in full this time.
You coming, Ruby, or what?
She'll be with you in a minute.
Any idea where he went?
Haven't you seen him? Said he
was going out to your cabin.
Wanted to give his brother
a big surprise.
Okay. Thank you.
Is there a problem, Deputy?
No, no, just passing by.
I saw you come in. I was wondering,
you know, how can I help
with locating Shane?
It's fine. I'm taking care of it.
Well,
it's a very interesting way
to go about it.
I was just talking
to his favorite White Dove.
Got an idea where he's gone.
You got something to say, Gus?
Look, Shane's your kin.
I can see how you might
want to protect him
if it came down to it.
Brother or not, Shane's gonna
get what he deserves.
Promise you that, Deputy.
You speak to the sheriff?
I did. He doesn't believe
there's anything he can do,
but I'm not giving up.
None of us are.
What is all this?
Everything I could find
on eminent domain.
Eminent domain?
The power of the government
to take private land for public use.
Exactly.
They can force anyone out of their homes
without recourse
if they want their land.
And who decides what land they want?
In this case, the railroad companies
and the U.S. General Land Office.
People who've never
stepped foot on our soil.
It means nothing to them.
It could be anywhere for all they know.
Well
what if we convince them
to build somewhere else?
This land here,
north of Lake Somerville,
- that's where Calian's camp is.
- Mm-hmm.
But if the train could
be rerouted to the south
of the lake, toward Brenham
- It could buy Calian more time.
- Mm-hmm.
Pardon me.
These plots of land here,
are they for sale?
They are.
But if you're looking for
somewhere to homestead,
I wouldn't bother with those.
Rough country. I'd look here instead.
Close to town and
many already have a well.
Don't need a well.
How much acreage can I get
to the south?
Can you give us a minute?
Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
- Hmm.
That's the money that the Davidsons
- paid Liam with, isn't it?
- Yes.
And it's about time
it went to something good.
I see your heart, but if we do this,
it won't sit well with some.
The Davidsons, the Tong
You sure this is
the only option we have?
Right now, it's the best
chance we've got.
And, for Calian, it's worth the risk.
All right.
So, what'd you think?
- Kate?
- Hmm? Hmm?
What did you think of the number?
Well, the number's great.
It was groundbreaking.
It's really It's exceptional.
All right, you got me.
I'm sorry, I wasn't, I wasn't with you.
Listen, have you ever
seen something that
it was maybe the last thing
you were expecting to see?
And
and then, when-when you
think about it, you
you didn't see anything,
really, but
but you know. You know? You
Never mind. Um, why don't you just-just
go ahead and run it again?
Give me just a minute.
I will watch this time, I promise.
Hi.
- Kate, I-I just wanted to
- I
I haven't heard from you.
Did you get the sketches I left?
Uh, yeah, I did. Yeah.
I'm sorry, I should've
said something to you.
Kai, I'm having trouble
reconciling the person
that I thought you were
with the kind of person
that could kill people
like you were swatting flies.
- I had no choice.
- You lied to me.
You lied to me about who you were.
Who's to say which is worse?
Look, you should go.
Your, um, your friends are waiting.
I'll come back later.
- Fine.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm having a-a
little bit of a rough morning.
It looks like it's only
getting rougher. All right,
you go ahead without me.
I'll be right back.
How was your night?
Kate, now is not the time.
When is the time?
Because we need to talk.
I know. We will, but right now,
we have something
more important to discuss.
I know we haven't exactly
seen eye to eye lately,
but I'm asking you to set aside
your differences for the moment.
Calian needs our help.
So, we're getting the gang
back together?
This calls for a drink.
Ah
All right, let's get down to business.
How are we gonna help our buddy?
Well, I believe we already have a plan.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
Well, that's great news.
As it stands, the train
is supposed to go here,
north of Lake Somerville.
We want to divert it south of the lake,
away from Calian's camp,
through the land that we bought.
You know, we just need
to stop the meeting
between the railroad executive
and the federal land officer
from happening.
That doesn't sound that tough.
But it has to seem to the both of them
like it did happen,
which means we need to have
two meetings instead.
- You're starting to lose me.
- The point is,
if we replace the original document
with an altered copy and
have both of them sign it,
the railroad officially has
to take a different route.
All right, I admit,
I have no idea what we're doing anymore.
Hoyt, it's easy. We're just,
we're putting on a show.
Oh, please tell me this
doesn't involve dancing.
Oh, you sweet, simple man.
No. Think of it like a con.
Separate, impersonate.
You are playing the role of
Kirby Smith, railroad executive.
Can do.
I've got quite the history with trains.
Robbing them, anyway.
Hoyt, maybe, uh, less talking
and more listening.
- Please.
- Hoyt, you and I will meet
with Parker Briggs here
at the Side Step.
Kate will pretend to be Parker Briggs
and meet with the real
Kirby Smith at Hagan's.
It's the ol' Pittsburgh Windmill!
Y
Look, I fooled some high-rollers
at a dice game
in Waco a few years back.
Told them I was
a Pennsylvania windmill baron.
Hoyt, don't list your crimes
in front of me.
I still am the deputy.
Well, for a lawman, this doesn't
exactly sound on the up-and-up.
Kicking people out of
their homes, does that seem
- "on the up-and-up" to you?
- All right, look.
I get it, but this is still my problem.
I need to be part of the solution.
You are.
You have an essential role to play.
Two, in fact.
Then I'm in.
Whatever it takes.
Mr. Smith? I'm Abigail Walker.
I work for Sheriff Davidson.
Unfortunately, he won't be
able to join us today.
He's had a family emergency.
Sorry to hear.
And Mr. Briggs has been
called back to Washington early,
so your meeting's been moved up
to this afternoon.
Should get checked in, then.
- Long ride.
- Mm.
Lost feeling in my ass back in Odessa.
Welcome to Independence,
Mr. Briggs, I presume.
Is it always this hot?
Hades itself would be refreshing
in comparison.
- Ah
- Why anyone would choose
to live in these conditions
is beyond me, Miss
Walker. And, unfortunately,
I hate to be the bearer
of more bad news, but
Mr. Smith has some labor issues
in San Francisco,
so he has to leave early, and
the meeting has been moved up.
Ugh. Well, the sooner
I get home, the better.
- Mm.
- Now, I'd like to get some shut-eye before the meeting.
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Briggs.
Hagan's is full,
but I've taken the liberty
of booking you a room
at the hotel down the road.
I assume you'll find the staff
there to be quite accommodating.
Oh.
- Thank you, Miss Walker.
- Hmm.
What in the
Mr. Smith.
I am so sorry to keep you waiting.
How good to finally put
a face to the name.
Uh I think there must be some
mistake. I have a meeting
Of course you do, silly.
That's why I'm here. Parker.
- Briggs. It's good to meet you.
- But
- you're a woman.
- Eh, am I?
I know you hear the name Parker,
you think, uh, big, burly
man with a bushy beard,
maybe a penchant for chaw, huh?
- I assure you, I can spit with the best of them.
- I
But, then again, who's to say
that Parker couldn't be
some dainty young lass, a high voice,
ample bosom,
hides fruit under her pillow? The truth
may be somewhere in between.
Do you ever think about that?
- Uh, no, I
- See? And this is the problem
with people these days.
They have no imagination.
Ah, well, c'est la vie.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Listen, what say we, uh,
head in and grab a drink?
Whiskey sound all right?
Of course it does. Go ahead.
Well, well, look at you.
Where did you find such a lovely suit?
Burt let me borrow it.
- Burt, the undertaker?
- Yeah.
He don't need it back till tomorrow.
Old Man Jones is having
- an open casket service.
- Oh.
Uh, excuse me. Could I
borrow some perfume?
Thank you.
Not too bad, huh?
- Well, we'll see.
- Ooh, that's nice.
- You like flowers.
- Thank you.
Mr. Briggs.
Kirby Smith at your service.
Mm. Uh, is your room
satisfactory, Mr. Briggs?
Well, I won't be getting any sleep.
There was such a racket
in the rooms on either side
- of mine.
- You know, that
Let's get started, shall we?
Love to. I know just the place.
I know you.
You're with the railroad.
Well, the hat's
a dead giveaway, I guess.
Now, step aside.
- You're in our way.
- I've heard that before.
Same reason you're forcing
my people off our land
'cause we're in your way.
Well, in this case, you sure are.
Hey.
Deputy! Deputy, come quick!
Hey, wait, wait, wait, that's
enough. That's enough. Come on.
All right. Here you go.
Whew.
Now, you lock that
worthless son of a bitch up,
and you throw away the key.
You know, your people
are getting exactly
what you deserve.
You're wrong.
No one deserves what's happening to us.
- Let him go, let him go. Let go.
- That's enough, all right?
I got him, I got him.
Come on.
I know I shouldn't have.
Look, I know you're angry.
Hell, if I wasn't wearing this badge,
I would've done the same thing.
I ain't blaming you.
I might've jeopardized the plan.
Looks like you did just
fine to me. Come on.
All right,
I'll start adjusting the lot numbers,
you work on changing out
the maps of the tribal land
for the property Abby bought.
What if the sheriff comes back?
What'll he think of all this?
I don't care and neither should you.
There ain't no telling what's
going on in that man's head.
Clean yourself. Don't
bleed on the papers.
Ah, Hoyt.
Not so fun, is it?
Oh
You son of a bitch.
Oh, careful.
That's also your mother you're talking about.
- You cut me loose!
- You know,
I don't recall you being
so accommodating
when I asked for a little compassion.
Must be tough for you,
not being in control for once.
All these years
of you calling the shots.
I don't know why,
but the sun always shined
on good ol' Tom.
You don't know what the hell
you're talking about.
Oh, but I do.
I've had a front row seat
my entire life.
Whatever Tom wants, Tom gets.
Badge and a gun.
Two separate towns? Why not?
Even being shipped off
to the lunatic asylum couldn't stop you.
I wouldn't have been in there
if it wasn't for you.
Wasn't me who killed
that young fella, Tom.
I was doing that to protect you.
Just couldn't stand seeing
my baby brother
get beat to a pulp day after day.
You couldn't handle yourself,
my pathetic baby brother.
Yeah? Who's pathetic now?
You don't even realize how sick you are.
I'm not the first one
you brought in here
to have a little fun with, am I?
Saw a little blood on the floor
before you started in on me.
You want to carve up
some random lowlife,
that's your business.
But the fact that you could do
the same thing to me
leave me out here to die
That's not right, brother.
You tried to have me killed.
Stabbed in the street.
And I'm the sick one?
I don't know what you're talking about,
but there's one thing I'm sure of.
It's time that you got
what's coming to you.
A few more minutes,
I would've had him hog-tied.
He's lucky that deputy stepped in when he did.
Regardless, could we
just get on with it?
I'd like out of this vulgar town
as soon as possible.
Well, our sheriff would
be very disappointed
to hear you say that about
our dear Independence.
Perhaps a bottle of this establishment's
finest champagne
would change your mind?
I'll find us a fresh bottle.
Well, slap my ass
and call me Susan.
You know, I heard
you took over for Randall,
but I just had to come see this myself.
Oh, hell.
Now, you give me one
good reason I shouldn't
kill you dead right here and now,
you whiskey-thieving fancy-pants.
Oh, hell.
- What's going on here?
- Well, you saw it before.
Some people just don't seem
to care for the railroad.
Fella must've fallen off a train,
landed on his head.
I'll handle it. Just give me a minute.
I agree. Mr. Briggs,
why don't we take in
some of the finer parts of town?
Never seen a town so full
- of ruffians.
- Oh, yeah?
I don't care if it is full,
let's go to Hagan's.
Place looks like it caters
to a more refined
class of people
- The hell was all that about?
- Never mind.
You're too ignorant
to understand anyway.
- All right.
- You want to hash this out?
- Yeah.
- Let's hash it out.
- On three.
- All right.
I think you may have
the wrong impression
of our town, Mr. Briggs.
Independence really is a lovely place.
The people are normally
quite respectful.
Hoyt!
Damn it, now, we said on three.
It's truly inspiring how far we've come.
Did you know the first
steam locomotive lost
a race to a horse?
They send the locomotive
to the glue factory?
Beg your pardon?
Nothing, I Please, continue.
- It's really, it's inspiring stuff.
- Oh
Kai.
What are you doing here?
I could ask you the same.
I need to talk to her.
Now's not a good time.
Tell her I want to see her.
Well, at present pace,
we hope to be able to go
from Houston through
Dallas, all the way up
to Red River City,
in the course of one day.
- Now
- Calian.
Kirby Smith, this is
Calian. He's our Apache representative.
Call me Mr. Smith.
Always glad to have someone like you
lend a hand. Not that we need it.
Progress is coming regardless
of what your people want.
Frankly, if there were more
forward-thinking savages
like yourself, things wouldn't
have to get so messy.
Well, having seen what I've seen,
I wonder who the real savages are.
Well Listen, never mind.
Should we get started, gentlemen?
It's a
Uh, right this way, please.
Please, have a seat,
make yourself comfortable.
Would you, would you
gentlemen be so kind
- as to give me just a minute?
- Mm.
Thank you.
I am going to get us some drinks.
Uh, whiskey?
- Fine.
- Wonderful.
I'll be back.
Two whiskeys, please.
- What are you doing here?
- I didn't have a choice.
Hoyt is currently pummeling
someone or being pummeled.
- How's Calian?
- About ready to tear Smith in half.
Can you blame him? Why do you ask?
Hmm, he slammed Briggs into a wall.
Don't remember that
being part of the plan.
Stay focused. We can do this.
Apologies, gentlemen, shall we continue?
That, sir, is for you.
Here we are, our finest whiskey.
Wait, I thought this was parcel 4204.
This says 4024.
Uh, unfortunately,
the previous parcel was
no longer available.
Now, we-we could go back
to the drawing board,
but you know the government.
Delays, et cetera.
We wouldn't want to stand
in the way of progress, would we?
Thank you.
All the dust seems
to have aggravated my eyes.
I need to pay a visit to the washroom.
Oh, wait. You seem the sort of man
that might enjoy a sonata.
- Could I play you one?
- Really rather we concluded our business,
- if you don't mind.
- Oh, just one quick one, then.
Please. Come, come.
Excuse me.
I'm gonna go powder my nose.
- What do you think you are doing?
- Hey!
Well, I was admiring the
stitching on your leatherwork,
but now I'm calling
the sheriff, you lunk.
- Get off me!
- Play that again, doll.
I do love that ditty.
You mind if I cut in?
This one here is
quite the, uh, wildcat.
You look nice.
So do you.
Good Lord, man, what happened to you?
Bit of a rough crowd.
Don't care about
the sophisticated types like us.
Shall we get to signing, then?
Gladly.
Just need a pen.
At your service.
All right.
So, Mr. Briggs, how
have you found working
with our dear sheriff?
The sheriff?
Can't say I approve
of his choice in township
but he seems like a fine man.
His family certainly has taken
a keen interest in the railroad.
The Davidsons have their
fingers in many pies.
Influential folks, if you catch
my meaning, but the sheriff
has always been aboveboard with me.
Glad to hear it.
- Thank you.
- Yes.
I will just go file this,
make it official.
Good, and then I can get
out of this hellhole.
I'll show you out.
Well, not much to say.
It has truly been a pleasure,
Mr. Briggs.
Give me all your money, now.
Fine, fine, fine.
Just take, take it all.
Just don't kill me. Not here.
What, you got manure in your ears,
or you just smell like it?
I said the money.
What the hell are you laughing at?
This isn't about breaking me.
You just don't have the guts
to pull the trigger and end it.
You're so smug.
It's a wonder no one's killed you yet.
Well, you tried, didn't you?
But just like everything else
you failed.
It's no wonder why you wanted me dead.
You said it yourself, I was the one
that was locked up in that asylum.
And the family still chose me over you.
I never could fool you, could I?
Just hired the wrong man to do it.
Surprise, surprise.
Another failure to add to the list.
But I promise it's the last.
I'm gonna finish the job
that Levi couldn't.
I hope you don't mind.
I borrowed your knife.
This is gonna be fun.
Mmm.
Well, documents are signed and filed.
Briggs is halfway to Nacogdoches by now,
and Smith is contributing
to the local economy
by availing himself
of a White Dove or two.
Mm.
And that, my friends
is what it looks like
when you beat the railroad
- at its own game.
- It is, indeed.
Despite a few
scrapes and scratches.
A few too many, I'd say. Sorry, Cal.
Well, regardless, working together,
we did it.
Thank you.
All of you, really.
This bought me time.
I should get back, though.
Discuss things with my people.
Yeah, I got to go, too.
Lucia sees the bar in that condition,
she's gonna fire me.
And that's just for starters.
You do not want
to see that woman upset.
- Kate.
- Hmm?
Thought you should know,
Kai was in here earlier.
He saw you with the railroad man.
Didn't look happy.
You should see him.
Something's up.
Yeah. Thanks.
You know those telegrams
Tom told you he sent?
- Hmm.
- Well, he lied.
Now, I don't know what's going
on with that brother of his,
but now that Calian's situation
has been handled,
oh, I'm-a find out.
Briggs, the land grant officer,
had nothing
but good things to say about Tom.
He was less effusive about
the rest of the Davidsons.
Yeah, that family has been
stirring up trouble
- for a while now.
- Hmm.
You know, like it or not,
Tom's a Davidson.
I think it's about time
I go out to that ranch
and have a talk with them myself.
Who are you going to speak to?
Whichever one I come across first.
Ah.
How about a drink to celebrate?
I'm buying.
Abby, first I have to ask you
Did you sleep with Tom?
Not quite sure
I believe it myself, but
that happened.
Abby, for the love of God, why?
I-I don't have a good answer
for you, Kate.
I don't even truly know myself,
but I
I saw a different side of Tom
last night.
He's just as lost
and damaged by his family as I am.
No, that doesn't change the fact
that all of us put our lives
at risk for you,
because you were sure
that he murdered your husband,
that he shot you.
And then not only did
you change your mind,
but you took him to bed,
Abby, and you did it here.
In my house,
where I invited you in.
You can understand
how that is a little bit
- of a hard pill to swallow.
- I do.
Kate, I am sorry.
I'm-I'm sorry I put you
in this position.
I-I didn't
think about how this would affect you
or-or anyone else.
I don't think you were thinking at all.
Probably not.
But regardless of what happened
I never meant to break our trust.
Kate, I need it.
I need our friendship.
So do I.
So what happens now?
Now I talk to the elders, the new chief.
Try to find a lasting solution
that doesn't end in bloodshed.
Anything else you need, you let me know.
I'll be there.
Thank you, Hoyt.
Of course. Happy to help.
You needed it, after all.
Hey.
Wake up.
I need a drink, and
I don't feel like drinking alone.
It's on the house.
Look, I know you're
a lightweight anyway.
I could drink you under the table
any day, pretty boy.
But at some point,
we're gonna have to talk about
what you did to Tink's mama.
She never mentioned she was his mom.
She looked young for her age.
Man's only got one mama, Hoyt.
Look, anyway, you're gonna
have to help me clean up.
All right?
We did quite a number on this place.
Boy, did we.
Sure was fun, though, wasn't it?
Yeah.
I know that we've kept things
from each other, Kai, and I
I'm sure that we both had our reasons.
But what if we don't do that anymore?
What if we start from scratch?
I would very much like to know you.
I could do that,
if you could, but we
would have to promise
no more secrets.
Deal.
Deal.
Uh, in the interest of full disclosure,
there's something
I should probably tell you.
The man that you saw me with at Hagan's,
he's a railroad executive,
and we conned him.
We stopped Calian's tribal
land from being stolen.
It-it's just a stopgap, but, um
I still kind of can't believe
that it worked.
Wait, conned?
Why would you do that?
Well, I just told you, they were
forcing his people out.
- And listen, I know this might make thi
- Have you learned nothing?
The Tong.
The Davidsons.
You of all people should understand
what they're capable of.
All of them are invested in that train
coming to Independence.
There's a lot of money at stake.
- And lives, too.
- You think I don't know that, Kai?
I don't care. This was
the right thing to do.
You don't get to decide that!
Right or wrong
you and your friends have
put us all in danger.
Kai
Tom?
Tom?
Liam.
- Gus, for God's sakes, shoot him!
- No! Tom's the one!
- He's the killer!
- Kill him! Kill him!
