Original subtitles

According to the plans we shouldn't be far.

We should stop and eat something.

As soon as we open the mine we'll build a road.

Sure, a nice road with no holes, and all for us.

What was that? That was a gunshot.

What are you doing?

Everything's okay.

Unfortunately we lost two of our men.

Where's the money? -Here, it's more than you expected.

Tell your men to aim properly next time, they almost killed me.

Are you sure there's nothing else? -See for yourself if you don't trust me.

Good, we'll leave you a horse, as we agreed.

If you still need me, you know where to find me.

Friends...

I'm happy you came to this party today...

To remember that day, five years ago...

When we arrived here and it was nothing but rocks and desert.

But with our perseverance we built this village...

We made it better with help from your families, your wives...

With your work. Protected by just laws....

Wanted by righteous, incorruptible and courageous men.

Laws a strong, honest sherrif makes people respect...

It's him. An applause for our sherrif.

Enough. A toast to our village.

Long live New Tuscosa.

Will you make space for me? -Sure.

Thanks. Have a seat.

Take your money back.

No one pays today. It's the village party.

Someone has to? -Mr Rush is paying.

Who?

Tell me something...

Do you know Jonny Mckenzie? -Jonny, yes...

He's over there. He's going make a speech soon.

Be quiet.

Mr Rush forgot to tell you something of very little importance...

He makes you dig all day to give you only 20% of all the gold he sells...

That's a real shame.

I know you all know this, but no one says anything...

I hope you understand that if there isn't any justice, you have to make it.

Be quiet!

Cut it out Jonny. Have another drink.

Let's see what the stranger says.

If he says I'm right I'll pay for all your drinks.

Hey, cut it out. You're drunk...

I'm saying it for your own good. -Let's hear what the stranger says.

Am I right, or that thief over there?

Throw him out.

Stop. What do you want?

Rush, you don't like hearing the truth.

In front of a stranger as well. I want to talk.

Isn't this our village party? Aren't the people here free?

Isn't it an honest sherrif who upholds the law?

Show the stranger how true the things Rush said really are?

Come on. Show him how good you are.

You're good at running away.

Let him go.

What did you say? -I said let him go.

Stop.

Take it outside.

I don't want to get serious with him, we don't even know who he is?

Jonny, have you ever seen angels around here?

Angels?

Sounds like they hit you too hard. -Then who's that over there?

That's Christine. She's my daughter.

Christine.

Watch out. You're putting on quite a show.

She bathes whenever she can, she likes the water.

Water? -Sure, she doen't get it from her father.

Hurry up and get dressed, my friend mistook you for an angel.

Pa, isn't it enough that you came back drunk as a mule?

Did you have to bring other drunkards with you?

Hurry up and get back home, I'll cook you something hot.

What an embarrasment, you can't even stand up...

Did you have to drink so much? -Quiet, daughter.

This is my friend, Hal. -Hi.

Welcome.

Pa...

You shouldn't have gone back to the saloon, you promised.

You know what that scoundrel Rush wants from you...

That's why he lets you drink. -You're right, I know, it's the mine.

If it's about the mine I can help you, I know about these things.

Did you hear? Hal knows about mines.

Go on, why don't you tell him the truth?

If we want to sell the mine we need to know how much it's worth?

I know you'll never sell the mine...

Now you'll ask him to help you, right Pa?

Why don't you tell him what happens to anyone who works for us?

What happens? You tell me.

Rush wants that mine at any cost.

My brother tried to use it...

But one night his horse came back with his body still hanging from the saddle.

Wasn't it a disgrace? -A disgrace. (?)

A disgrace that served as an example to everyone else.

Since that day no one has ever come to work for us.

Isn't that right, dad? -Sure, what you say is true...

Jonny...

You know very well we don't want drifters here in our village.

Well, sherrif? Say what you have to say.

The stranger has to go. -Yes?

The stranger has just decided to stay, and to work for me.

But you don't even know if he can do this kind of work?

Right, what work do you do, stranger?

Buckaroo. -Buckaroo!

I train horses, but I can do lots of other things.

For example? -Work in a mine, like Jonny's.

I want to give you some advice and if I were you I'd take it...

Get out of here, Buckaroo.

We don't have any horses for you. -I'll be a miner.

Worse for you, Buckaroo. You'll find out.

I didn't realise you were a buckaroo, what are you doing around here?

We don't raise horses. -Right but there is a reason...

Listen...

You told me there are two mines here, discovered five years ago.

Sure, mine and Rush's.

I have personal reasons to study these two mines.

So I accept your invitation and I'll work for you.

Will you look at him? -What do you mean?

Folks here say buckaroos are slackers, that they don't really do a real job.

Folks are stupid, Pa. -Right.

Seeing as you're so wise, why don't you prepare us something to eat.

Sure. -Al will want to see the mine right away.

Yes, Jonny. Thanks.

You don't know how anxious I am to see it.

Who would've thought you'd be interested in the mines in this dirty village?

Keep an eye on those two.

We need to scare them. They'll go to the mine...

Tell the others in the village.

Do you like water? -Yes, when it's clean.

Water is never clean, water is always a dirty mess.

Right, sometimes it's like that, sometimes it really is a dirty mess.

Tell me, do you like jokes? -If there's something to laugh at.

We'll try. Come on.

Don't you want to see the mine? -Sure, but you'll see...

Let's get a move on. Come on.

Remember, we only have to scare them. -Naturally.

Mind the cigar.

Another thing that's good for your health in these situations...

...is raising your hands.

Tell the person who sent you that two men aren't enough to scare Buckaroo...

Get out of here.

And send Mr Rush my regards as well.

We've arrived. That's the entrance to the mine.

It's never been used. No one's worked here for years.

Now you'll see everything. Come on.

Come in.

Damned Rush, he wants to take it away from me...

...and sell it to him.

What do you think, Al?

Jonny, this the richest quartz I've ever seen.

Yes?

It really is a splendid mine.

It's not the one I was looking for but I'll work with you...

And it will be a pleasure, I assure you.

Come on dad, Rush is inside. Says he needs to talk to you.

Good morning. -Hi, Al.

Hi, Jonny, I've been here for more than two hours...

I've never waited so long, not even for a beautiful woman.

What you have to tell me must be very important if you waited so long.

Yes. I really think so.

Dad, listen, Mr Rush is offering us twice as much as before...

It's a really good price.

Rush, I'm sure I told you this before...

I'm not selling. -Jonny this is your last chance.

Think about it. Both of you.

I don't like stubborn people.

You'll never open that mine. Do you understand this?

I'll never allow it.

Bye.

Listen, by the way Jonny...

I'd like you to settle your old debt...

The $500 your son owed me at the saloon.

Jonny, is this true?

It's so true I'll pass by tomorrow to collect it, right?

One moment...

As Jonny's friend I have the right to say something as well...

Here's the $500. -Al, that's our debt.

I'll pay him back. Our mine is big.

Hey, Rush.

Mr Rush to you, Buckaroo.

Mr Rush, if you're going to the village could you do me a favour?

Yes, but be quick. I'm in a hurry.

It won't take a minute.

What are you getting from that sack? -Two pistols.

Give them to the sherrif. Your men had them.

But they threw them away. -Then why should I give them back?

They still seem good to me. -Out of the way, idiot...

You'll learn to know me better, I'm telling you.

Sure, Mr Rush, I'm a fast learner.

We'll meet in the village sooner or later.

He offended him. He'll seek revengs.

Take care of him.

Good morning. You're new here...

What type of merchandise are you looking for?

A load of stuff, all the equipment you need to work in a mine.

Wrong store, my friend. Actually, wrong village.

Everything you see here has been sold. -Already sold?

To who? -Wrong question, friend.

Mr Rush. -I understand.

The pick-axes as well? the carts as well?

Exactly. -Dynamite as well.

Just as I said, friend. Wrong village.

But dynamite can be used for other jobs?

That's right. -But not for raising horses.

Am I mistaken, Buckaroo? -No, you're not mistaken.

Seems like Mr Rush buys everything here.

Does he buy lead as well? -Who's going to give him lead?

You? -No, he only scares horses.

Did you hear, Webb? A buckaroo and he wants to sell lead.

Like one us. Won't there be too many of us...

...in a village this small, selling the same merchandise?

Sure. Too many...

Us or him. -You know what I think?

I'd say we sell more, and at a better price.

What do you say? -I say we should take this outside...

In the open air.

Excuse me.

Wait a minute, Buckaroo.

You know how to handle yourself. I know what I'm talking about...

Someone like you could go far.

I could let you work for me.

Work for you? Doing what?

I think you could persuade Jonny to sell me his damned mine.

I wouldn't keep it all to myself, to compensate you...

...I could give you part of it. What do you say?

That you're a scoundrel, Mr Rush.

Did you hear what he said, Skinner?

Or I did hear badly? -That's possible.

I said you're a scoundrel, Mr Rush...

By scoundrel, I mean a no good thug.

If I were you, Buckaroo, I'd go far away from here...

Have I explained myself? Very far away.

Listen, friends...

I need men to come work and work in Jonny's mine...

...in good conditions. -What conditions?

50% of the gold you extract from the mine.

I accept. When do I start?

In two weeks, as soon as we have all necessary equipment.

You can count on me and my brother as well.

I already told you I'm in.

So, does anyone else want half of the gold they can manage to extract?

I'm in. Teddy as well, he's not here today.

Come to Jonny's ranch tomorrow morning to sign the contracts.

We'll be there.

There are four of them and he makes five.

Six with old Jonny.

Hi.

Hal, will you give me a hand? I hurt myself.

Thanks.

I twisted my ankle. -Sit here.

Is that better? -Especially now you're back.

I thought they were going to kill you.

Were you in the village? -Yes, I saw everything.

All of Rush' men will be after you now.

It happened before with my brother.

Hal...

There's something I don't understand...

What is it?

Was it Dad's gold that made you stay with us?

Let's go. Try to stand up.

You aren't just interested in the gold in the mines, right?

Certainly not.

Then there's something more valuable to you?

I'll tell you one day.

Come on. It's getting late.

What a shame, we're already arrived,

You've been very kind, thank you.

But... your heel?

It's much better, thanks.

See you round.

Sandy, come out.

Tell me something, Jonny...

When Rush first arrived here...

Was there someone with him?

A decent person? -A decent person?

The men who came with him were the worst kind around.

He's always had a gang, never a friend.

Well? Do you see anyone?

No.

These four men who are meant to come here to eat...

You didn't dream it? If they're any later the roast will be burnt.

Here's one of them.

No. I wouldn't say so.

I don't think he's one of them. -You're right...

He looks like one of Rush' men.

Mr Rush sent this for you, with his warmest regards.

It's the first time in my life I've carried out a massacre.

Hi. We were expecting you.

If you came about that work in the mine...

I had a rethink. -Why?

I prefer to do other work.

It's healthier, friend. -I must have really got it wrong...

I thought you were a man.

That's all.

Stop.

Aren't you one of the men who should've come to Jonny's ranch?

Right. -Then what happened?

Someone told me not to go, that's what happened.

I get it.

And you're someone who lets other people tell you what to do.

Good luck.

Hey, Steve.

Look who's coming. Now what will we tell him?

What do you want to tell him? The truth.

That'll put us right in it.

If I were you I'd go to the sherrif.

Isn't he meant to protect all the people in the village?

Well? Don't you realise that's the problem?

Oblige him to defend you from these ruffians...

Or to leave and give up his job to an honest sherrif.

Looks like I'll go alone.

Mr Rush. Excuse me.

The price of gold has gone down a lot lately...

And the workers want a higher percentage otherwise...

Otherwise? -Otherwise they'll leave.

Yes? Where?

To pick stones in the mountains? They'd die of hunger without me.

Mr Rush, sorry but I'm not talking about me...

The men are unhappy, the mine doesn't yield as much as before.

Mr Rush. -What do you want?

May I talk to you for a moment? -Talk, I'm listening.

You promised us 40% of the gold we found...

Not the 20 you give us. -Right...

But I had expenses, all the equipment.

But a contract is a contract. -I don't give a damn about contracts.

We've got families, we can't live on 20%.

I'm not interested we'll talk about it another time, I'm busy now.

No, we'll talk about it now.

Listen here. If it wasn't for me...

You'd be dead from hunger. Go away...

Get out of here if you don't want me to crack your skull.

You as well.

Whoever wants to leave the mine, do it immediately.

Before I give you another lesson like this one.

To the sherrif.

What's going on? -I don't know.

They're from Jonny's mine. They're going to the sherrif.

Let's go and see.

Folks, listen to me...

The sherrif has spontaneously decided to step down.

Isn't this a noble gesture, to leave this job you've done for so long?

For the love of justice. But we must resign ourselves.

He was such an honest man, so courageous...

Always ready to defend you from the thieves who rule this village...

At the cost of his own life. -He should be hanged!

You decide. Shall we get rid of him?

Answer democratically. Raise your hand if you want him to stay.

No one raises their hand? No one wants him to stay?

He's deaf. -He misunderstood.

No, he's just stupid.

I'm sorry...

We must accept your resignation.

Shall we swear him in?

Hi, Sandy. Sorry... Sherrif.

Hi, Jonny.

Jonny Peterson, I can start work tomorrow.

Friends, I'm going to Santa Cruz to buy all the gear we need.

I swear when I come back we'll have a great party.

And we'll invite Rush as well. -Sure...

As long he brings the women.

See you soon, friends.

Hi. -Hi, Sandy.

Name? -Jack Wilson.

What's your name? -Jimmy Brand.

Okay, Jimmy.

And you? -Lewis Porter.

No, it's not my fault. Have mercy.

I... I haven't done anything.

Hear that? After everything I did...

To get you elected.

As soon as I turn my back you handed in your resignation to a stranger.

I fought like a lion.

The entire village was on his side, what could I do, Mr Rush?

Coward. -No, Mr Rush, it's not my fault...

It's not my fault.

Go to Santa Monica, bring Miguel Montero here...

...with his gang. At any price.

And spread the word to our men, tell them to lie low...

At least for a while. -Okay.

(?) (missing bit)

That carriage can't arrive at the village.

Christine and I have decided...

You won't lose anything. Don't worry, Buckaroo.

You'll get your $500 back, and compensation...

...for all the time you spent with Jonny at our mine.

Right, Christine? Tell him.

He'll get all his money back.

You can keep it. I do the good deeds.

Hal.

Wait, Hal.

Please...

I know you don't want to understand...

But it's better like this.

Christine.

You did swell.

It was the only way to save his life.

You deserve another kiss. -Don't ever come back.

Why have you come here?

What are you doing?

We're recruiting folks to work in Jonny's mine...

What have you got to do with this?

What's going on? -It's Montero's gang.

Yes, sir, Montero and his friends. Inside, you're my prisoners.

Get back inside. Come on.

Help the sherrif in the prison. Go on, I'll kick you inside.

Everyone stay still.

Exactly, sir. We're friends of Miguel Montero.

You don't like it?

Speak up now. Got that?

You two. Get your hands up.

Their guns. -Okay, Pedro.

I don't like your faces. Take them to Montero.

No one else armed?

Good, my friends. Let's have a drink.

Aren't there any women here? Hombre, I'm talking to you.

Muchachas, the women. Understand?

Leave it. Go and find us three women.

The lady is going to bring us something to drink.

Hey, you. Bring that bottle.

Are you her father? I'll give you $20 for her.

Come here.

Watch out, Pedro.

Don't you ever touch that woman again...

Or I'll break you in two like a melon.

Don't worry, friend. We'll do whatever you ask.

Then get out of here.

Are you ready, friend?

Make your move.

Come on, guys. I'll let you draw your pistols first.

Who wants to try? -I won't, you're too fast for me.

And you? What do you say? -I'm slower than him.

Then pick up your friend and bury him far away from here.

Where's the sherrif? He should be here...

He should uphold the law. -Looking for me?

Stop. Touch your pistol and you're dead.

Hands up, just give me one chance and I'll kill you like a dog.

You're surprised, eh?

Now go out. Leave in front of me.

And be careful!

Go on.

Walk.

Mr Rush, look at the nice little present I brought you, the buckaroo.

Great, it was the last piece I needed.

Come forward, Buckaroo.

I thought you were more intelligent.

Didn't I tell you there was nothing of interest in this village for you?

You should've taken my advice and left, idiot.

That man killed my friend.

Wait, friend. -Why?

This man is mine. -Yes, that's right...

Don't be hasty, if you kill him you'll have to kill the other four as well.

Everyone in the village knows Buckaroo and his four friends are our prisoners.

You could even do it...

But they'd find out in Santa Cruz, sooner or later...

We'd have them on our backs. Leave it to me...

I'll take care of it.

I've been tolerant enough with you till now...

I'd really like to kill you now, do you believe me?

But I'll give you one last chance. -What chance?

What chance, friend? -To stay alive.

Either you leave forever or I'll leave it up to Montero to decide your fate.

Naturally, you can imagine what Montero will decide to do.

If you're worried about your friends, yes, all four of them...

They can go with you. But disappear from the village...

All of you. -I want to talk to Christine first...

I want to tell her something about her father.

If it's about the tragic (?)

But you know, when he arrived, poor Jonny was already dead.

Don't worry too much about it.

I'll take care of consoling Christine.

Do you know what you are, Mr Rush? A coward.

A real coward, Mr Rush.

I'll give you one minute to decide.

Otherwise I won't even leave you to Montero...

I'll kill you with my own hands. With this pistol.

Come on, what is your decision?

I don't know if they'll agree...

But I accept for me and my friends, your pistol has convinced me.

I knew you were smart, Buckaroo.

Well? You shouldn't be worried anymore...

Who knows where Buckaroo is now?

But Montero is here and he has no intention of leaving.

I don't trust that bastard.

Stop, hombre. Understand?

Listen closely, friend. I want you to go to Montero...

I want you tell him something he'll find very interesting.

What? -That he's being cheated.

I don't like it.

Try to find out what he's up to.

Where's he going? -Let him go.

"Tomorrow I'll fight..."

"And maybe I'll die."

"The love that I lost, I'll never know why."

"I can't (?) "

"Searching for a night or day."

"My (?) "

"Or what will be my fate?"

"Tomorrow I' (?) "

"Through the narrow streets of town."

" (?) "

" (?) my love "

"And if I die, I'll have no fear."

"Although I wish you could be near."

"And when nights grow so cold..."

"I hope in your dreams it's I you hold."

"Tomorrow I may die-e-e-e."

"Tomorrow I may die."

Sancho, your prisoners? -I have news.

Everyone act normal. No one say anything, okay.

Am I interrupting? Won't you invite me to sit down?

Come here and listen...

You know I've always liked you...

I mean to say that if I've decided to change my ways...

Because I'm about to become very rich...

What would you say? You and me together.

Are you asking me to come and live with you?

That's right. -You've taken me by surprise.

How will you become so rich? -Kiss me, Linda, and I'll tell you.

Let's go. It's time to wake up.

Everyone get up.

Buckaroo will be here any minute.

I'll cover the entrance to the village, you cover the other side, got it?

I got it. -Let him into the square.

If he (?) with Rush, don't let him live.

Yes, Miguel. -Julio, go to Rush...

Tell him I need to speak to him urgently. -Yes, Miguel.

So Montero wants you to go to him and he won't leave until you do.

What are you waiting for?

But I want to be with you. -Yes, I know...

But so much time has passed, I don't want to live with...

...a cheap dancer like you.

I'll show you.

Who is it? -Montero wants to see you.

Okay.

Tell him I'm coming.

Damned fool, he wants his money.

I'll talk to you later.

What's got into you? -Why?

Asking for me at this hour.

For your compensation perhaps?

Here it is.

Now you can go. It's what you asked for.

I didn't ask you here for this, Mr Rush...

But to warn you that Buckaroo is coming back here...

To meet you. -That can't be true.

How can you be so sure? -Because if he does come back...

He knows what's waiting for him.

I tell you he's coming back.

What do I have to do, Montero?

Do you have a plan? -Mr Rush can get ready to meet him...

It can't be true. -...because he'll be here soon.

It's absurd. Why would he come back?

To die? -To reclaim his rights.

His rights?

What rights?

Ask him. He's here.

I think it goes back to something that happened five years ago.

But I'm not armed.

I can't meet someone who might shoot at me without defending myself.

Don't you think? What are you doing?

What are you doing?

There.

He's alone. Poor Buckaroo.

Rush Bogard. Show yourself.

Come out, or I'll come and get you. -One moment.

You can't kill him like this.

Don't you care about asking him why he's come back?

It might be an important reason.

Buckaroo, this is Miguel Montero...

What do you want with Rush? -He killed my father five years ago...

He was his business partner, he did it to get his mine.

He's lying. Skinner...

(?) (missing bit)

My friends reputations mean a lot to me...

And in this moment, yours, Mr Rush...

...is very low. Are you a valiant man?

Then go outside and fight him.

Right, you want me to go outside and fight him.

Against a buckaroo? A low down horse trainer?

(?)

No, no...

What kind of fool do you take me for?

You! No.

Mr Rush, you're going outside and you're going to fight the buckaroo...

Or I'll take you outside. There...

Hanging from that table.

I... Okay.

I'll go outside and I'll kill him like a dog.

Have you ever heard Rush was afraid of a fight?

No!

A buckaroo. A damned buckaroo.

Friends...

Today is a lucky day for us.

We'll kill whoever survives.

I assure you that in less than two hours...

We'll be the owners of two gold mines.

Skinner.

Call the others.

Get him from behind. He can't get out alive.

There's no way out, you'll die just like your father, I swear.

They shot you. Come inside.

Come forward and throw away your gun, idiot...

You won't need it anymore. I said throw it away!

I want to have a good look at your face while you die, Buckaroo.

Just like I saw your father die. You can't do anything now.

Bad, isn't it? I'm stronger than you.

And now I'm going to kill you.

Mr Rush, cowardice is a bad companion...

Now you'll find out why. -No, leave me alone.

And you'll die as well, Buckaroo.

"It all happened in a village called New Tuscosa..."

"63 miles away from Santa Cruz."

"On the 24th of October, in the year of the Lord, 1874."

"It was a time when stories were simple, like fairytales..."

"And the good guys really were good and the bad guys, sooner or later..."

"Were destroyed by their very own malice"

"It all really happened..."

"Like so many other true fairytales..."

"From the good old days, long, long ago."
