00:02 You a lawman or an outlaw?
00:19 Bit of both, I reckon.
00:20 I need a man with a good gun and a straight spine.
00:30 You up for the task?
00:31 I wouldn't be sitting here in my Sunday best if I wasn't.
00:37 Around these parts, we might be men.
00:40 They're just killers, all thieves.
00:44 I took an oath to protect every woman.
00:48 I ain't about to quit this.
00:49 You find a home for yourself, what
00:56 would you do to hold on to it, to protect it?
00:59 You got to the count of five to get the hell off my land.
01:02 Lady, you got two shells in that bird killer.
01:04 Then I'll just shoot you twice, just to be certain.
01:09 How do I get to do what you do?
01:11 You're loyal, and you ain't afraid of much.
01:14 But the real power lie beneath the badge.
01:18 Ready to ride?
01:19 I thought you'd never ask.
