Branded: McCord's Way

After McCord kills a gunman, the townspeople of Silverton offer him the job of sheriff, since the last three have been gunned down within the year. However, when McCord chooses to capture outlaws rather than gun them down, the townspeople protest his "cowardly" ways.

Recap

McCord rides into Silverton and notices the citizens gathering outside a saloon. One mother calls her son Tommy to her side and orders him home, but he wants to see the coming shootout. As he hides behind a wagon to watch, McCord hears a gunshot. A few seconds later, Sheriff Dave Baker staggers out of the saloon and collapses, dead. The mother, Dora Kendall, goes to the sheriff’s side and confirms that he’s dead. She looks up at the townspeople and asks if any of the men will do anything, but they shrug and walk away. Dora picks up the gun and goes inside while McCord goes to the sheriff’s body...

Episode Quotes
Dora Kendall: So for the price of a mule and some food, you're going to give up your life, too?
Jason: Well, I don't figure it that way.
Dora Kendall: Well, you will. Dave Baker was the third sheriff to be killed here in less than a year. They all thought they were too fast to die, even my husband. But they did. And now Joe Latigo's father and some of his friends will be after you. And so will every other gunman looking for a quick reputation. It's one big game, like a turkey shoot. That's all a sheriff is in this town. Just target practice.

Jess Muhler: Kinda thought there'd be a shooting, Sheriff.
Jason: It takes two guns for that, Muhler. Let's have yours.
