[John and Maddie walk into the Blackwater police station.]
Teller: (to self, counting money) 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106....
John: I'm here to see Mr. Ross.
Teller: 107, 109...
Maddie: Edgar Ross.
Teller: 113. Upstairs on the right. 114, 115, 116, 117...
[John and Maddie go upstairs.]
Archer: Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan! So glad to see you. How was your journey?
John: Where's my wife and son and my sister's daughter?
Archer: Being well looked after. Well looked after.
Maddie: I want to see them.
Archer: Mr. Ross wants to speak with you. We've had some important developments.
John: You want me to take out a gun and blow a fucking hole in your head, right here, right now? You want that?
Archer: Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan.
Maddie: You want that?
Archer: Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan, I ask you to calm down.
John: Why? Why!? I did what you asked. I got you Williamson and Escuella. It's over! Stop playing games with me!
Ross: No one's playing games with you, Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan. But if we were to play some games, there'd be some interesting ones we could play. Like hanging you for murder, or confiscating all your property, like that little farm of yours, or having you put in the electric chair. Those are the sort of games we could play, but we choose to play a different game, so calm down, and play along with us.
Maddie: Where's my daughter and my brother's wife?
Ross: I forget...but I hear it's very nice this time of year... Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan, please, I've never insulted your meagre intelligence. Do not insult mine. We've done this little deal for your freedom in exchange for all the men from your old gang. You gave us Williamson and Escuella. We still don't have Dutch van der Linde, but now we know where he is.
John: Then go and shoot him.
Ross: No, sir and ma'am, I want you to shoot him for me. And then I'll let you be. The last thing I want to do is make martyrs out of all these people. He can be killed by some petty squabble by another lowlife.
Archer: We believe Van Der Linde is holed up with a group of renegades near the wreck of the Serendipity riverboat.
Ross: Ah, yes. Another group of renegades, obviously, the first group, your group has, shall we say, been disbanded. Anyway, Mr. Fordham, Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan, shall we go? Oh, Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan, your wife and son and your daughter are doing well. Let's both try to ensure things stay that way.
Archer: (to John and Maddie) After you, sir and ma'am.
Ross: Oh, Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan, one more thing. This is for you.
[He takes out a pistol, pokes it into his chest, then gives it to them.]
Maddie: You're too kind.
Ross: See, I have nothing but your best intentions at heart.
John: Let's hope it doesn't go off by mistake.
[They go downstairs.]
Teller: 343...
West: I have a patent for that, sir! This is an outrage. Ah, Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan. You're alive.
Maddie: Hello, West Dickens. I thought you were headed to Peking.
