TWICE A JUDAS

Well, I'm glad you're still alive.

I figured I'd have struggled quite a bit digging a nice grave...

For you... and him.

But what happened?

You're asking me?

A little discussion between gentlemen...

And now yourfriend will have to keep his mouth shut.

He must have realized that he was wrong!

You'll just have to try to remember.

But I don't recall a thing.

Okay, you don't remember what happened...

and I didn't see a thing.

Not even that.

An effective system to get to my age.

But you don't believe me!

You've lost a lot ofblood...

but the wound is superficial.

With a little good will, you might make it.

Come on, Rebecca.

Hold on. I don't know where to go.

Beyond those mountains there's a town. It's not far.

In a few hours, you'll get there.

If I were you, I would get a move on.

Only the dead remain in a place where they were shot.

Gently, Rebecca, don't push.

Awhiskey.

Two whiskeys.

Here, at the table.

Hi, Luke.

What did you say?

I said, "Hi, Luke."

You're late.

Where's Donovan?

You should get together.

Come on.

This is your room.

I'm tired. I want to sleep.

When will Donovan arrive?

Later. We split on the street.

Those were not the orders.

Did something happen?

What do you mean?

It's nothing. Just a scratch.

A calibre.44 scratch.

You seem a bit out-of-key, friend.

You'd better sleep.

Tomorrow, you'll need to be in control of your nerves.

This is for now...

The rest after.

The meeting place is a few miles from here.

You'll go to meet him.

As soon as you arrive in front ofhim, shoot him.

It won't be the only bullet he'll get.

Because I'll shoot him, too...

And I never miss.

You sent them back...

but that doesn't solve the problem ofillegal labourers.

When I catch them, I send them back to Mexico.

It's the law.

The law provides forthe expropriation of uncultivated land...

to be assigned to new families ofhomesteaders.

But it's a law that cannot be applied, because ofthese illegal labourers.

Should I kill them, then?

No, but one thing is certain...

The law is not sufficient.

Come on, quickly, get off. You are all free. Be brave!

Here. For you, and you. You. And you.

Try to look like civilized people, if you can.

Come on, now.

What do you say, doctor?

- Good morning, Mr. Barrett. - Good morning.

Don't worry, I'll solve your problems today.

Thank you.

What a man!

They're OK like that?

Take the horses!

It's time, Luke.

Donovan hasn't arrived. We will act alone.

Leave that on the horse...

You can't meet him with a gun in your hand.

Apparently, you don't have much confidence in me, right?

It's not easy to trust someone like you...

A person who accepts money to kill his own brother.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

What do you mean?

I took it upon myselfto take action.

Those two?

They are professionals. They know their stuff...

Act and then disappear.

They all came.

Barrett has them in his hand.

The bank's lost the game.

You'll come out on the trail.

I'll be hiding overthere.

You won't be too far away?

Not with this.

Accurate at 200 meters for a fixed target...

It's as good as holding a gun to his head.

Here, he's coming.

Ready, friend?

As soon as you take out your gun, shoot him.

If you can, let him get to his feet first.

I'll see better.

Before voting, I have a couple ofthings to say.

Barrett asks you not to sell the land to the bank.

He guarantees to find you the farmhands that you need.

His proposal is honest.

By doing so, the land where your children are buried...

will not fall into the hands of foreigners who come from the north.

It's a free vote.

Everyone can decide whetherto go... or stay, as proposed by Barrett.

Come, let's begin.

Come on, the next one.

That's fine, friends, continue.

You're sure you're not making a mistake, MacCalhoun?

Yes, Barrett, I'm quite sure.

No, you're not!

And so?

You've become old, MacCalhoun.

You can't distinguish black from white.

Luke!

Luke!

It's really you.

You're alive.

You stay.

Bastards! lmbeciles!

The vote was only postponed.

I decided to sell the bank.

This is your land.

Here lie the bodies of your children and wife...

who were massacred by Yankee soldiers.

The land needs farmhands to work it...

I can't do it alone.

This year, I've reaped less than half what I had sowed.

I can help you, MacCalhoun. And you know it.

You? You did once before...

And in return, you took yourself a parcel of my land.

We believed you were killed in the war, Luke.

Where have you been all those years?

Who are you? What do you want?

I helped you into this world, and now you ask me who I am?

I put you back togetherwhen yourfather brought you in, covered in blood.

Even if my eyes aren't what they used to be...

I recognized you from afar, just by the way you walked.

You're a doctor, right?

So cure me.

- It's already healing. - No!

It's beyond evil! It's inside my head!

Inside of me is darkness.

As if suddenly you turned off every light...

erased all memories.

I cannot remember anything.

I don't know... who I am.

Sometimes, to forget is the only way to survive.

I've been trying with this.

Doctor...

Tell me the name of... my brother.

Barrett...

Victor Barrett.

What did he say?

Nothing. He doesn't remember anything.

He received a head wound. Not very serious.

The shock, however, caused him to lose his memory.

Luke has completely lost his memory.

How do you know?

When one side ofthe brain undergoes trauma,

you can have repercussions on the opposite side ofthe body.

Luke was wounded on his right temple...

and something is wrong with his left arm.

Didn't you notice today?

He shot with his right. He's always been left-handed.

- What do you want, Barrett? - I want my brother. - Yeah?

- Your brother killed this man. - That man tried to kill me.

What happened to my men, who were escorting the peons to the border?

I don't give a damn about your men.

I want my brotherto be freed.

He fired in self defence.

Come, you're free.

Keep an eye on him. He was seen with the man he killed...

And he sure knew very well where to shoot.

A dangerous game...

I could have shot you, if I hadn't known the rifle wasn't loaded.

Did you know it wasn't loaded?

When you put a bullet in the barrel, the sound is different.

Your hearing's as good as your eyesight...

You were the only one to spot that bastard who wanted to kill me.

He was behind you. I was facing him.

Welcome back, brother.

Hah! So much for your plan...

Did you believe that Luke would really kill his own brother?

All he had to was shoot him down.

It was all designed so that it would look like a family feud...

Nobody would have suspected the bank.

The doctortold me that overtime, you'll heal.

Let's go for a drink.

Hi, Barrett. Take a seat.

Give me a bottle. Thank you.

I heard that someone tried to play you a little song this morning.

- Send the girls over. - Of course, right away.

Just like the good old days. Nothing has changed.

Bah! In fact, everything has changed. All new people.

All that's left ofthe good old days is the three of us...

Three for now, anyway...

Largo...

Largo and Mac Calhoun.

He wanted to sell us his property.

He was coming to sign the contract today.

This murder bears the signature of Barrett.

I have no evidence, Mr Murphy. Nobody will swearwitness to what you say.

And these bullets do not bear any signatures.

Barrett.

I must speak to you.

Go ahead.

All right...

What I have to tell you should be heard by everyone.

When, afterthe war, my bank was opened here...

there were only a few Mexican huts.

And a pile of rubble.

Today, there is a small town.

The bank's money was used forthis...

Building houses, by opening up new sources of work.

There's so much good land still abandoned, unkempt...

Nobody will sell it.

Nobody sells because you will resort to any lengths,

from blackmail to intimidation.

And, when that doesn't work... murder.

You'll lose, Barrett.

Because you've put yourself on the wrong side.

You've gone against progress.

And no human power can stop progress.

Come on, smile. They're waiting for you.

And you: don't frown, smile!

It's the doctor.

Give me a couple ofbottles ofthat special.

On the house. There's a drink for everyone.

This one wasn't around in the good old days...

Progress brought her here.

And I'll take advantage ofit...

so they won't accuse me of being against progress.

And will you not take advantage of progress, too?

And you, grandfather?

At my age, I can't really keep up with progress!

Luke! My dear little one! I didn't expect you so soon...

But you're early. Breakfast isn't ready yet.

Sam isn't as quick as he once was.

My stick... Sam always forgets to leave it by me.

Help me, Luke.

Thank you.

Give me your arm.

They're all still sleeping.

Let's wake them up.

That's better, son, thank you.

Those pains have returned, in my legs.

The next time I go into town, I want to buy a little remedy...

You mustn't believe that old crook Dr. Russell,

He always says that it's all just down to old age.

Last winter it rained a lot, and I feel a little rusty.

Wake up, Pa, Luke is here.

Breakfast will be ready soon.

Wet your hairwhen you comb it, or you look like a bear!

Susan...

Don't take advantage of your condition...

I've had two children, and I didn't lounge around in bed all day.

Dr. Russell says it'll be a boy.

He's neverwrong, that rascal.

What will you call him? Have you decided yet?

I don't want to influence you, but Dad would love it if you named him after him.

Of course, it's up to you and Susan to decide.

Victor, where are you?

Why don't you answer?

Victor, Luke is back. We're all gathered together.

Why do you insist on not answering?

Where is Victor?

Why didn't he come back with you?

Welcome back, Mr Luke.

Your coffee's ready.

How's the lady?

You saw for yourself.

Now she's fallen asleep.

Tie that beast up.

Who's inside?

lmagine finding you here.

How did you get here?

This is our home, Victor?

It once was.

Mothertold you?

Why did you leave her alone here? She's ill, and needs care.

You can't tear her away from her memories. She's happy here.

She would suffertoo much.

What happened during all those years?

Come on, let's talk.

The war engulfed everything around here.

The young men were killed, there aren't enough hands to cultivate the land.

Forthis reason, the bank wants the people to sell their land cheap.

It's a dirty business!

And what will you do now?

I have a distant relative in St Louis...

I shall go there.

I've already packed my few possessions.

And the property?

My father came to town to sign the contract.

I am his only heir... I'll sign it.

Bring out the MacCalhoun contract.

And inform the first family ofhomesteaders.

It's forthe best, my girl.

- Good day, Mr Barrett. - Good day.

Here's how I solved the problem of extra hands.

This is my home.

- How many men did you find? - 12, Sir.

Others want to come, but they're afraid to cross the border.

- I will help them across. - Thank you.

Luke, I'm glad to see you here.

You're back to stay with us.

I had something important to tell you...

but now I no longer rememberwhat it was.

Victor, tell me what happened to ourfamily.

Ourfatherwanted to oppose the Northerners.

But the soldiers fired on him.

On seeing his butchered body, our motherwent mad with grief.

I had a wife who was expecting a baby, didn't I?

That day she went out alone...

While returning from town she met a military carriage.

She wouldn't stop when ordered to.

The soldiers then opened fire.

And we, what where we doing when all this was happening?

Fighting the war.

We formed a gang of armed men...

with other young men from the area, and fought a guerrilla war against the Yankees.

Then the band was wiped out.

You enrolled in the regular army.

I stayed here, in order to defend our homes...

To defend our land.

But now that you're back, we'll fight together again.

No...

The land doesn't interest me.

It should. You're involved now...

They'll try to kill you, too.

Now I rememberwhat I wanted to say...

MacCalhoun's daughter sold out to the bank.

Awhiskey.

Hi, Barrett.

Yes?

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Do you usually kill people you drink with?

Why do you ask that, Sheriff?

Because you were seen having a drink with that guy last night.

And now I'm here drinking with you, too.

One more thing: you travelled here with a man...

a certain Donovan.

Why didn't he arrive with you?

It's a big country; anyone can go where he pleases.

That's what I thought.

Well, ifhe didn't come here, then he must be somewhere else.

Could be... Good night, Sheriff.

And Dingus?

The butt of your rifle's engraved with that name.

Who's Dingus?

I don't know.

Henry! Henry!

Yes?

There's someone coming.

Hello, we're just arranging our stuff.

We just got here. Are you from the bank?

You've come to sign the contract?

A beautiful child... Just beautiful.

- Yourwife is very young. - Thank you. - Are you happy?

Yes indeed, Sir. We're aiming to have a large family...

My wife gave birth without difficulty.

And there's room for many children.

- Yes, sir, it's a fine town, and the land is good. - Yeah...

Are you sure that this land is good?

Certainly, you can tell it's very good.

Then eat it!

Let me go! What do you want with me?

Henry!

I said, eat it!

It's not as good as you expected, right?

We'll bury you in it if you stay here any longer.

Henry!

What have they done to you?

Let's go! This place isn't for us. Let's get out!

- What do you want from me? - To talk to you.

What did you want to say to me?

My home's around here.

My fatherwas the town preacher...

He was the one that married you and Susan.

Back there, all the young men of ourtown were killed fighting the Yankees.

Susan used to go there every day. She took flowers.

She prayed for your return.

She was expecting your child.

Go on.

The carriage that brought back her body went past my house.

But Susan was still alive.

She gave me the medallion from around her neck, before she died.

This? What did she say?

"Give it to Luke when he returns...

"And tell him it was Dingus."

Dingus? But who is this Dingus?

I don't know...

But the Mexicans call their mongrels that.

Hello, there is a free table.

We also have clean, quiet rooms.

Looking for someone?

I could help you; I know everyone.

Do you know... Dingus?

- You said "Dingus"? - I said Dingus.

No, but I know someone who knows everything about everyone.

Take me to this 'someone'.

Let's go.

Come.

Who did it?

- We found him on the street. - Who did it?!

Peter, call the men.

This blood will mean more blood.

This time no one will stop them.

Murphy!

You couldn't kill me, and so you took revenge on my brother.

Go away. I had nothing to do with it.

Are you coming out, or do I have to come and get you?

I followed your example, Barrett.

Now I have the guns to back me up.

You may driven out the homesteaders, but more will come...

and this time they will be protected not by the law... but with guns.

Is it war you want, Murphy?

Well, you'll get it. You hearthat, Sheriff?

Did you all hear it?

He wants war! Then he'll get it!

Let's go!

How do you feel now? Can you walk?

You have tough bones, boy.

With a little rest, you'll be just fine.

You Barretts are certainly an odd breed.

This was ourfather's.

The barrel is reinforced considerably.

It can withstand a strong charge of powder.

The barrel has a wide end, so it sprays out a real bouquet ofbullets.

He modified himself...

According to him, it was as effective as a small cannon.

But afterthe first shot, it took too long to reload.

And the Yankees had repeating rifles.

How do you know?

You weren't there.

Our motherwas there.

They didn't shoot at her.

Soldiers don't shoot at women.

Yet they shot my wife.

Those were drunken soldiers.

What do you know? You weren't there.

I know only that my wife was killed by a man...

And I must find that man.

Fortunately, there are still people who can help me remember.

But what do you know about him?

Only that his name is... Dingus.

What's wrong, Doc? Are you nervous?

When a man comes to know everything in life...

it's as ifhe were already dead.

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

It was... Dingus.

Hold it... thanks.

One ofthe new couple, now.

Come, dear.

Move slightly more to the left.

Ready? Smile. Hold it!

- I hope all your days may be as happy as this one. - Thank you, Victor.

- Congratulations, dear. - Thank you.

Come on, Sam's waiting for us.

Let's all sit down at the table together.

Mom, I don't see Dingus. You didn't forget to invite him?

His mother is ill.

I'd like to go with you boys...

But someone has to stay here to look afterthe house.

You'll be fine.

Don't worry, children. You'll be fine.

What about Dingus? Where is he?

He disappeared a couple of days ago. Let's go.

Come on, Victor.

Don't let the other one escape. He's the leader ofthe gang.

That way, quick!

You need money, don't you?

And after all, it's just a matter of shooting someone...

You've done it many times before.

During the war it was different. There was a reason.

$1,000 isn't a good reason?

Not for me. I don't shoot strangers in cold blood.

It's not a stranger.

Charlie's waiting for us at the hotel.

We'll go into town as soon as it gets dark.

Dingus!

Dingus!

Dingus! Come out!

Doctor, where is Dingus?

Luke, thank God... He didn't kill you.

Where is that bastard?

With his men. He wants to stop the homesteaders.

Did he do this to you?

Yes, because he thought I'd told you everything.

A bullet burns more than alcohol after it enters your body.

Luke, I would have told you the truth...

but I knew that you would kill him.

That's why I lied.

I believe you.

Leave me be. I don't feel anything.

Soon, I'll fall asleep forever...

Don't waste any more time here.

It's not Peter, it's him. He's still alive.

Imbecile!

Quickly, mount up and follow me.

Very good... It's between the two of us now.

Dingus! It's Luke!

This time I really have returned.

You've regained your memory?

Too bad for you, dear brother.

Don't call me brother, you dirty traitor! Come on down here!

Get him, before he reloads!

Dingus! It's yourturn now!

Come and get me!

Are you still alive, Luke?

No cheating! This time I'm gonna make sure.

I will come and shoot you from up close, dear brother.

Don't call me brother! We're not brothers!

This is my land.

You killed my family to get your hands on everything.

But you're still a little Indian bastard!

My motherwas the daughter of a chief.

This land belonged to the Indians.

It had been theirs for centuries before you came...

dirty farmers from the north.

I did only what was within my rights to take it back.

The rights to everything are still mine!

You have no right to anything!

Dingus, I'm waiting for you!

Here I am, Luke!

Now all the land in the world belongs to you.
