I'll regret it.

That's what I thought.

Sir.

Sign the register.

But I'm not stopping here.

It's your privilege, mister.

Please, I hate bells.

I'm looking for Josh Randall. I was told he was here.

He was.

He's the fellow who just walked out.

Oh, thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Mr. Randall! Mr. Randall!

Oh, Mr. Randall, thank heavens I found you.

Yeah?

I'm Archibald Warner.

It's a pleasure and a relief meeting you, sir.

Why? I left New York 76 days ago with one single purpose in mind.

I understand you're the only man along the border who can help me implement it.

How's that?

I, uh... I understand you enjoy the confidence of the famed and elusive one

known as El Gato.

Well, what about it?

Mr. Randall, I wish to meet him.

Well, he's not exactly a sightseeing curiosity, mister.

Here.

$300 for your trouble.

Excuse me.

Just for an introduction?

I told you I had a single purpose in mind.

What's that?

I, um... I intend to shoot Mr. Elgato.

Would you mind repeating that?

I want to shoot Mr. Elgato.

Once that's done, I'll be world famous.

You'll be dead.

Look, Mr. Isn't it? As long as we'll be close traveling companions.

Call me Archie.

Right. So long, Archie. No, no, please. You've got to help me. No, I don't. You

don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, but I do.

I researched my subject thoroughly.

It's the way I always work.

Elgato is the most feared bandito in all northern Mexico.

He's the scourge of the Federalist forces.

The curse of the real Grandy, correct?

Yeah, and he's also got about 75 hired gunners with him.

I'll shoot them all.

Here, 400.

Please take me to him.

You don't have to do anything. Just lead me to him. I'll do the rest.

Now, looky here. Number one, I like Elgado. As far as I'm concerned, he's a

fella. Number two, even if I didn't like him, I wouldn't go after him unless I

had an artillery regiment. Number three, you better forget about it in the first

place.

You ain't even got a gun. What are you going to get him with, your stick pin?

Wait right here.

Just to shoot him once.

One photograph of the famed El Gato will make secure my fame.

Ever since he photographed Lincoln, that Matthew Brady's been getting all the

attention. One shot of Elgato will turn Brady positively green.

Green?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Green.

Let's go.

up in those hills and el gato maybe what do you mean well you know you got the

name el gato don't you because he's like a cat that's what i mean let's go

You want to quit, I'll let you quit any time with honor.

Hey, Maria, a kiss to the winner, huh?

Si.

Well, I better end this match right now.

You're learning, little brother.

He said, for the championship, we make it two out of three. We play the next

match tomorrow, hmm?

It's getting real.

Sanchez, come over here.

Here, sit down. Put the hand on the table.

Pull them together now. Now you practice.

Practice, little brother, see?

Well,

Coyote, how's it going? The plan is complete, Algartha.

The hero reaches the garrison at sunset.

Colonel Martinez and his staff lead for the boar hunt at darkness, and then we

strike an hour later. See? No, no.

What's this talk of a garrison and boar hunter?

You're a pretty good man, Coyote, but you spend too much time putting pictures

on the map.

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We're going to hit that payroll before it reaches the garrison.

In the foothills of the Sierras, when the soldiers are taking their siesta,

that's when we strike. Now, you go round up 20 rifles.

Only 20?

But the payroll wagon, she is guarded by 40 soldiers of Colonel Martinez. That's

right. They got 40 men, so we take 20. That way we keep it more fair.

No, no, no. You take your time. We got three days before we gotta leave.

But I must brief the men. They need training. All right, all right. I'll

you what. Hey, Pedro.

You train Pedro very seriously.

Give him sentry duty every night, huh?

Si.

Oh, Pedro, you are going to have the honor of leading the raid.

I am. Get off his honor, regato.

That's all right. You have earned this little brother.

We finish the hand contest after the raid, huh?

Maybe.

How's it going, Archie?

Will it be much longer?

I told you before, it's up to Elgato.

But how will he know you're looking for him?

He'll know.

I've put my heart and soul into this venture.

Yeah?

Getting that one shot of Elgato means all the world to me.

Does it now?

The first man ever to photograph the most famous bandito of all.

In his own mountain lair.

I've set my sights.

I must not falter.

I must not fail.

Matthew Brady gets all the publicity.

All the glory.

I'm as good a photographer as he is any day.

This ain't bitter, I reckon.

By nature, I'm a modest man, Josh.

However, that happens to be true.

But fate's been against me.

Brady gets all the breaks.

You know that shot he made of Lincoln at Gettysburg?

Yeah.

Sheer luck.

I was at Gettysburg with my camera, too.

Only I just happened to arrive there after Mr. Lincoln finished his speech

left for the White House.

Always one little step behind Brady.

But not this time.

Right, R .G., but not this time.

Let's go.

You too. Let's go.

Elgaro's men.

Uh -uh.

Federal's. Oh.

Oh. Uh -huh.

Listen, you best let me do the talking, huh?

Nice day, isn't it?

Yeah, well, I guess it could just be a little bit nicer.

What you doing out here?

Oh, we just riding out here in the warm sun, minding our own business, like.

You mean El Gato's business?

El Gato?

Who's that?

Yeah, who's that?

This morning you were seen coming out of a peon's house, inquiring about El

Gato.

You mean us? Us?

Yes. El Gato's an enemy of the state.

Anybody sighting would have got us in big trouble.

Oh, well, looky here. We had nothing to... I want to be fair, senor.

You'll have a fine meal before you face the firing squad.

Firing squad?

Yes.

Now, senor, about those guns.

Huh? The ones he smuggled across the border for El Gato.

Oh, I see. You think we're running guns.

No, no, this is a... Photographer.

Photographer. And that's his equipment in the back, right? Right, right.

We'll see who's right.

¿Encontraste algo?

Nada.

Where did you hide those guns?

I told you, we ain't got none.

Back at the garrison, we have ways of having people tell us the truth.

Very painful, but very effective.

You touch that pistol and you've eaten your last tortilla, friend.

Archie!

When I tell you, you skedaddle on out of here. Right, Josh.

Okay, go ahead.

Maria.

Oh.

Oh, I tell you, Maria, you are the best of cooks.

You know, when I'm going to be the governor, you have a kitchen as the...

best one in the whole province.

I see.

And when I'm the Presidente, I'm going to get you a kitchen like a palace.

I see.

Maybe.

What's the matter with you? Ain't you got no manners interrupting a man when

he's eating?

Pardon, but I have something to report. All right, you report.

Go on. Word has come that the Americano Josh Randall is looking for you.

Josh Randall?

Oh, I like him. You go get him.

Well, he travels with some compañero who drives a wagon.

All right, all right. Sit them both down here. Go on. Go on. Hurry up.

Maria.

All right.

All right. You're going to have a kitchen as big as the palace.

maybe, huh?

My pleasure.

I've been looking forward to this for months. Yeah, he's going to make you

famous.

What are you talking about, Joshy? I'm already famous.

Everyone in Mexico knows El Gato.

Worldwide famous.

Worldwide? Yeah.

Every nook and corner.

You're going to make me worldwide famous?

How are you going to do that?

Well, he's going to take your picture.

Picture? Picture.

I came all the way from New York to take your picture.

Take my picture?

Where's that?

Where? Josh,

maybe I better get the camera and show him.

Yeah.

Listen, Josh, this little friend of yours, he's a little local, huh?

No, no, no, no. He's going to take a photograph.

I think you're a little local.

Hold it right there.

Don't you point that thing at me.

Put it down, Archie.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

It's only a camera.

What caliber?

No. No, not cannon.

Camera. You make pictures with it.

You know, like a painting.

Like a painting, huh?

Then where's the brush and paints?

No. No, with this, you don't need a brush and paint.

Why? You're going to make paintings. If you'll give me a chance, he'll show you.

All right.

We try.

Anyway, it's much fashion, pain.

Remember, amigo, so is this.

Faster.

There. All right. All set.

Now sit right down here, Argano.

Well, it's just a chair.

Just a chair, huh?

Well, what's these little things here?

Well, that's to hold your head still so you don't move during an exposure.

Now, sit right here, Elgato.

You put your head in there?

He will sit.

What's the matter with you? You got the blood of a man or a chicken?

Now, sit down.

There.

Put the things on his head.

There. Now, don't you move until I tell you. Understand?

Don't you move until he tells you. You understand?

Don't you move.

What's he doing under there?

Just focusing.

Focusing. I'm going to look for myself.

Here, Joshy. Get away from this thing.

What are you doing to Coyote?

You got his feet up and his head is... Joshy, he's upside down.

Come look.

Don't you worry.

I'll get him all straightened out. You just leave him to me.

He's upside down.

I'll get him straightened out.

You better.

Better than a painting, huh?

Better than a painting, huh?

Shuno?

Well, Elgato?

You look just like Elgato, huh?

It is you, Elgato.

Oh, pretty handsome fella, huh, Maria?

Si, muy simpatico.

Si, I'm glad you're pleased.

Oh, yeah, I'm pleased. You know, I like this fella.

Yeah, I figured you would. I like you, Archie. Oh, thank you.

Where's your manners, woman? Sitting there while my good friend is standing

Get off.

Go on.

Here, sit down, Archie. Come on. Thank you, but that's not necessary. Ah, sit

down.

Well,

go on. Get some vino for my friend. No, thank you. I don't drink alcoholic

beverages. Just milk.

Milk? Who'd get milk?

No milk.

Oh, mil.

Hey, Coyote.

Si. Tomorrow I want you to send someone to steal a cow for my friend Archie

here. You better tell him to steal two cows.

Si. All right, Archie.

Well, you really don't need to bother.

We're leaving tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Yeah, I got to get back across the border first thing tomorrow.

Oh. Well, you stay, huh?

Well, I'm anxious to get back to New York. No, no, no. You stay here with El

Gato. You take pictures of El Gato when he's made the governor of the province,

and you take pictures of El Gato when he's the presidente of all Mexico.

Oh, I like your pictures, Archie. I like you, too.

Hey, now, wait a second here. I gotta get back tomorrow, and I'm taking Archie

back with me. All right.

You go tomorrow.

You stay.

No argument.

Hey, now, looky here. What do you mean, no argument? I'm leaving first thing

tomorrow.

Like a man said, no argument.

You stay, huh?

And I'm telling you, I saw them with my own eyes. You got Federals coming up

here. Please, Josh, please.

Now, hold it.

Hold it.

Hold it.

All right.

If you're lying to me... Would I do that? Si.

Federales coming up the pass.

I told you, only two.

If it was the advanced scouts, I saw about 30. I tell you what, you get 15

we're going to give those Federales a surprise.

I'll meet you at Sanchez Moro. Si.

Pancho, Alonso, Tomas, come on over here.

This time I'm going to bring back some of those federales alive.

Make a pretty good picture, huh?

You see.

Come on, come on. Let me get your horse.

Let's go.

Careful, careful.

What are you doing?

You want to get back to New York with your pictures, don't you? Sure.

Now's your chance.

Josh, you don't know what this means to me.

Now I'll show that Matthew Brady who's who.

Do me a favor, will you? Don't mention that word Brady to me no more. Now, get

in your wagon and get on out of here.

Must you?

Oh, Mr. Randall.

I'd like to have a room with my own bath this time.

21.

By the way, there's a gentleman stopping here in the room right next to you. As

a matter of fact, he's been looking for you. Who?

He said he wanted to discuss a business proposition.

Oh.

Does he look like he's got any... He appears to be a man of means.

His name's Brady.

Matthew Brady.

Matthew Brady?
