Hey, Dutch!

We got a problem.

Not a problem.

Visitors.

A solution.

Good day, fine people.

Mr. Vanderlinde, Mr. Matthews, I presume.

And who are you?

Rip Van Winkle.

Huh.

Good day, sir.

Agent Milton, Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Agent Ross.

Ah, Mr. Morgan.

Nice to see you again.

And to what do we owe the pleasure, Agent Moron?

I don't know if you're aware, but this...

This is a civilized land now.

We didn't kill all them savages only to allow the likes of you to act like human dignity, and basic decency was outmoded or not yet invented.

This thing, it's done.

This place...

Ain't no such thing as civilized.

It's man.

So in love with greed, he has forgotten himself and found only appetites.

And as a consequence that lets you take what you please, kill whom you please, and hang the rest of us?

Who made you the messiah to these lost souls you've led so horribly astray?

I'm nothing but a seeker, Mr. Milton.

You ain't much of anything more than a killer, Mr. Vanderlinde.

But I came to make a deal.

Well, it's time.

You come with me, and I give the rest of you three days to run off, disappear, and go and live like human beings someplace else.

You came for me?

Risk life and limb in this den of lowlifes and murderers so that they might live and love?

Ain't that fine?

I don't want to kill all these folk, Dutch.

Just you.

In that case, it'd be my honor to join you.

Excuse me, friends.

I have an appointment to keep with.

I think your new friend should leave now, Dutch.

You're making a big mistake.

All of you.

Yeah, dreadful.

We have got something.

Something to live and die for.

How awful for us.

Mr. Milton, stop following us.

We'll be gone soon.

I'm afraid I can't.

And when I return, I'll be with 50 men.

All of you will die.

Run away from this place, you fools!

Run!

Come on.

Get your damn hands off of me, boy.

What and how?

We get out of here. And quick.

Any ideas?

I know a big old house.

Hidden in the swamps outside Saint Denis.

I'm sure they'll find us eventually, but it should buy us a few days.

A few days is all we need.

It's a spot out by Shady Bell.

Lenny and I got into that dispute with the previous occupiers.

Place is well hidden.

You and Arthur, right out to make sure no one else has moved in.

And Lenny, you go follow those fools out of here.

Make sure that they leave.

And John, we'll get Jack back.

And we'll get going.

Rest of you, get packing!

You brought him back to me?

We told you we would.

John!

What are you doing here?

Good to see you too, partner.

I meant I hadn't sent for you yet.

I went.

but I said that I know what you said I felt different is

that so yes and when spring

and John brings the law down on all of us what

then Arthur well I guess Guess we'll have another fight on our hands.

Loyalty, Arthur, it ain't.

I had a god damn plan!

John, John, you are my brother.

You are my son.

I was coming for you.

They.. they was talking to hanging me, Dutch.

They was talking.

And now they may come and hang us all.

You You okay?

Yeah.

He was a good man, my Jakey.

We was always sweet on one another.

I'm sure.

I miss him every day, every moment.

They turned me into a monster, Arthur.

But my memories of him, they're still pure.

100

I ain't even got that.

101

You know, you're a confusing man, but you might just be the best friend I got, Arthur.

102

I know the company you keep.

103

The competition ain't too fierce.

104

Hmm.

105

We, uh, we should get away from her.

106

Yeah.

107

Arthur.

108

How you doing?

109

Nervous, but I've been nervous for a while.

110

I had a lot of time to think in that jail, and I feel like I just don't know Dutch no more.

111

You ain't the only one.

112

And this plan to get us out, it just feels, I don't know.

113

Like he's stringing us along, I know.

114

Killing him in cold blood, revenge, we all do bad things, but he seems to enjoy it now.

115

It's like he just wants to create more enemies, more chaos.

116

Yeah, I know.

117

I mean, I love Dutch.

118

He saved me a long time ago, but...

119

I feel like in Saint Denis, when I got arrested, maybe he could have done something.

120

I feel like you should take your woman and child and get lost. Do you?

121

What reason you got to stick around at this point?

122

It's done.

123

I don't see no way out of any of this.

124

What about loyalty?

125

That's long been broken.

126

What are you gonna do?

127

Gotta see this through.

128

Try and make some of it right.

129

There was a code we had.

130

Gotta still mean something sure I know but listen to me when the time comes

131

137

Your husband knew the rules when he took that money.

138

Now, I'm real sorry about the way things turned out.

139

But he had a choice.

140

Ain't my fault about the way the world is.

141

He didn't have a choice.

142

He was good and he did good.

143

There wasn't no choice in that.

144

And you've as good as killed him yourself.

145

212

213

214

Arthur.

215

Go to your family.

216

217

Get the hell out of here and be a goddamn man.

218

You're my brother.

219

I know.

220

I know.

221

Goddamn you bastard!

222

Hello again, John.

223

Hello, Dutch.

224

We gotta stop meeting like this.

225

Sure.

226

I got a plan, John.

227

You always got a plan, Dutch.

228

This is a good one.

229

I don't doubt it.

230

We can't always fight nature, John.

231

We can't fight change.

232

Judge, can't fight gravity, we can't fight nothing.

233

My whole life, all I ever did was fight.

234

Then give up, Dutch.

235

But I can't give up neither.

236

I can't fight my own nature.

237

That's a paradox, John.

238

You see?

239

Then I have to shoot you.

240

When I'm gone, they'll just find another monster.

241

They have to.

242

Because they have to justify their wages.

243

That's their business.

244

Our time has passed, John.

245

At dawn, they said to young Tilly they were running to save themselves.

246

I think Mary Beth left as well.

247

So it goes.

248

They are goddamn cowards, Arthur, cowards.

249

Of all the time we spend to run off.

250

Well, I guess they don't want to die, Dutch.

251

Ain't nobody gonna...

252

This is a tough time, and you ain't, you ain't doing too well, but we, our community, we will survive.

253

They will not crush us.

254

I hope so, but if we let Jack and the women free,

255

well, then maybe we can - There ain't no freedom for no one in this country no more, Arthur.

256

one more big score we got enough money to leave all this turmoil has the army

257

and pinkerton spinning we take a boat

258

and slip away i don't know what you're saying dutch

259

but it seems like i've heard it all before just one And there's always a goddamn train.

260

Arthur, this is different.

261

We know this is full of cash, army payroll, money and supplies to repair the bridge that you blew.

262

This is all going to plan.

263

We rob Uncle Sam, and we leave.

264

The poetry of it all.

265

What do you think?

266

267

268

269

Insist.

270

271

Insist. Of course, pal.

272

Whatever you think is best, I will see to it, huh?

273

Now, are we gonna rob a train?

274

Sure.

275

276

277

and be out of his hair once and for all he insists upon it ...insist.

278

Let's ride out, gentlemen.

279

Let's go!

280

Mr. Morgan!

281

Are you okay?

282

Never better.

283

What are you doing here?

284

I'm on my way down to Mexico.

285

They're finally sending me on a mission.

286

Brother Dorkins is very jealous.

287

What's wrong?

288

I'm, uh, I'm dying, sister.

289

Okay.

290

Yeah, I got TB.

291

292

Beating the man to death for a few bucks.

293

I've lived a bad life, sister.

294

We've all lived bad lives, Mr. Morgan.

295

We all sin. But I know you.

296

You don't know me.

297

Forgive me, but that's the problem.

298

You don't know you.

299

What do you mean?

300

I don't know, but whenever we happen to meet, you're always helping people and smiling.

301

I had a son.

302

He passed away.

303

I had a girl who loved me.

304

I threw that away.

305

My mama died when I was a kid.

306

And my daddy...

307

I watched him die.

308

And it weren't soon enough.

309

My husband died a long time ago.

310

Life is full of pain but there is also love and beauty.

311

What am I going to do now?

312

Be grateful that for the first time you see your life clearly.

313

Sure.

314

Perhaps you could help somebody.

315

Helping makes you really happy.

316

But I still don't believe in nothing.

317

Often, neither do I.

318

But then I meet someone like you, and everything makes sense.

319

You're too smart for me, sister.

320

I guess I...

321

I'm afraid.

322

There is nothing to be afraid of, Mr. Morgan.

323

Take a gamble that love exists And do a loving act All aboard I shall try I know you will

324

Goodbye, goodbye, Mr. Morgan Goodbye Sister Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
