All language subtitles for The Forge 1966--

Near as I figure,

We're pretty close
to the nations.

A herd this size
ain't gonna go unnoticed.

We best break out
the extra hardware

When we bed down tonight.

We got a river up ahead.

Good.
We'll camp there.

In the morning,
we'll follow the riverbed

So we don't kick up
no dust.

It forks left,

And it carries all the way
to the Canadian.

Amigo, could be
one of them times

When we find out what
your vaqueros is made of.

We'll see.

Come on, Dolly.
Move on, move on.

Come on, Dolly.

Get on up there, girl.
Get on up there.

Hey, Sara.

Get on--Yeah?

Whoa! Whoa!

Where are the kids?

Oh, they're having fun.

Made some friends...
learning Spanish.

Hey, that's good.

Here's Isaac's food.

What's in it?

Now, you just let it be.

Poor man, he can't wash,
he can't talk.

Least he might as well
say he eats good.

Yah!

Where's Isom going?

He's got
his brother's supper.

He's gonna stash it
in the trees up ahead

So's that Isaac
can pick it up

Without getting
too near any of us

And taking the human
smell back to the herd.

They trust him
completely.

Well, he won their
confidence slow and easy.

Takes them to fresh grass.
he leads them to water.

I imagine right about now,
they'd follow him anywhere.

Must be good to feel
that safe with someone.

Have you never felt
that way with a man before?

A man? No.

Not even your pa?

I never knew him.

My mother was killed
when I was 6.

I'm sorry.

Bad memories.

White man.

Hurt.
Ohh!

Hurt.
Aah!

I need...

horse.

What happen...you?

I run...

arrows...Kiowa.

I need a horse.

Always nice and cool
down in that cellar.

There's lightning.

It's out to the north,
but, uh...

still no sign of rain.

Now, there's some
useful information.

Would you ever marry me?

Have a taste, July.

I think I've overdone
the cinnamon.

You don't have
to repeat yourself.

I heard you.

You going to give me
an opinion

On this cinnamon
or not?

Tastes fine.

I don't think you're much
of a judge of sweets.

If you're done
cradlin' those potatoes,

You might lavish
some of that attention

On your son.

He's been fretful
lately.

Martin.

Martin?

Come on, baby.

Up.

Up, up, up. Ohh!

Yeah, there.

Papa...

Pistol don't work.

Broke, see?

I need...good rifle.

Sister. Lodge empty.

Husband die.

Greasy grass.

Sons die.

Running face sickness.

I don't need no woman.

You need horse.
You want?

You take woman, too.

I can't care for her.

You come without fear.

She trust you.

I can't.

Must be.

I...not live long.

Protect my people.

You done right by me.
I owe you.

Of course, it don't
change who I am.

You fight my people.

All my life.

Comanche, Kiowa,

Mescalero Apache.

I ain't never been
a friend to your people.

I take many scalps...

like yours.

But always with honor.

Do you not fight
with honor?

I do.

Then our hearts
have same scar.

I lead my people

From camps
where trust die,

Where our spirits die.

I could not let my son

See me do nothing.

I honor
my father's deeds.

My sons honor
my deeds.

That is how honor...

is kept.

In our way,

It goes on...

in our children.

Howdy.

Found you.

Mr. Dunnigan
need me?

Guess he wouldn't have
hauled you out of jail

If he didn't think so.

You hungry?
I got food.

Not like what I brought.

You like peaches?

Well, sure.

How about cherry tarts?

I don't mind tarts.

Well, you better

'Cause I brought
a whole mess of 'em.

The roof looks nice.

Thank you.

I saw it needed
fixin'.

Gregor says you're
the hardest worker

He's ever seen.

Haven't seen enough of
you to say for myself.

I've been busy.

You've been hidin'.
Now come over here

Before
these peaches spoil.

You got nothin'
to be ashamed of, Newt.

Those men were outlaws.

The same breed's
been stealin' our stock

To start up
their own outfits.

They'd still be in jail
otherwise,

No matter how much
influence Gregor has.

I guess.

Well, I know.

So what
do you think?

Of what?

The operation--
Kenilworth.

Oh, it's--it's big.

Heh. I remember
the first time I saw it.

Where I came from,
it looked like heaven.

Pretty close.

Heh.

Awbonnie!

Where's Ferris?

Riding.

Do you think
it's strange?

What's that?

Gregor and I.

No.

Liar.

Everybody thinks
it's strange,

But they don't
know him,

And they don't
know me.

He's the first man
I could ever trust.

Can I trust you,
Newt?

I guess.

I think so, too.

You know, what you did
for me took guts.

What you did for
your friend Jasper, too,

Though I don't see

Why you put your life
on the line for him.

He doesn't seem
like the type

To do the same
for you.

Well, we come
a long way together.

That's worth something.

You good friends?

Like I said, we come
a long way together.

Newt...

will you be
my friend?

I need a friend.
Sometimes I think

I'm gonna go crazy
without one.

Sometimes I miss
the girls

Back at Harvey's
so bad.

That's the place I worked
in Kansas city

When Gregor found me.

I love Gregor...

but he's so old.

And there's nothing wrong
with that. It's just...

sometimes he makes me feel
so old, too, you know?

Guess you wouldn't.

Pea eye, my best friend,
he's old.

I don't like
feeling old.

But I guess it's better
than feeling used,

The way other men
made me feel.

Does that make
any sense at all?

I don't know.

Sometimes I think
I've gone crazy

And I just
don't know it yet.

You ain't crazy.

Bolivar--Our cook
back in Lonesome Dove--

Now, he got crazy
sometimes.

He talked to hisself...

to the wind.

Whacked an old bell
for no reason.

Now, he was crazy.

You ain't at all
like that.

Lonesome Dove?
Where's that?

Oh, Texas.

You miss it?

Well, it wasn't much
of a place, really...

Here, try this one.

It's got
more bang in it.

Whoa.

There you go.

Thank you, Newt.

Thank you for lunch.

Did you get it fixed?

Yes, sir.

I believe
it'll shed water.

You're in good company,
I see.

Yes, sir.

I want you to go
into town for me.

Whilst you're there,
you can get yourself

A new saddle,
bridle, bit...

whatever else
you might need.

How much is in here?

What you don't spend

You can bring back,
can't you?

Mr. Dunnigan, sir...

I don't need nothing.
I'll just do my job.

Nonsense, lad.
You represent me now.

Your appearance must
reflect your status,

Mustn't it? Hmm?

Away with you.
Go on.

Yes, sir.

That was awful generous
of you.

He'll pay me back.

He's honorable.

Come on.

There anything
you want me to do?

Well, I guess the doctor

Will be gettin'
here soon.

The doctor
might be goin'

In the other
direction.

This'll be over
before he gets here.

He'll have had the ride
for nothin'.

You mean,
the baby's dyin'?

I mean, he'll either die
or get well

Before the doctor comes.

I done all I can.

The rest
is up to Martin.

I hate it
when a child's sick.

I loathe it.

I get too scared.

It's like
there's somethin'

That don't want me
to get a boy raised.

He'll be fine.

Shall I, uh,

Fetch you
some coffee, or...

I know my way
to the kitchen well enough.

You'd have done better
to talk to me

When I needed it.

I guess I'm--

I'm just no talker.

You're not much
of anything.

But you could be.

I know you're smart
'cause Martin is,

And he didn't get it all
from your poor wife.

But a fence post
is more useful generally

Than you are.

Well, I've tried to help
around the place.

I'm not talkin'
about chores.

I'm talkin' about us.

I sit here alone
all night in this room

With your baby.

Where were you?

Uh...

ohh.

I wish now that
I'd been here with you.

I told you how
sickness frightens me.

The only times
I've ever wanted to die

Is when I've had to sit
and watch a child suffer.

I don't want
the girls to be here

'Cause I don't want 'em
to get death

Too much in their minds.

I sat here
and I thought,

"I'm alone."

And I can't help
this child.

If it wants to die,
I can't stop it.

I can love it
till I bleed,

And it won't stop it.

I hope it won't die.

I hope it can grow up
and have its time.

I know...

if I lose one more child,
I'll never care again.

I won't. Nothin' will make
any difference to me again

If I lose one more.

It'll ruin me,

And that will ruin
my girls.

I'll never buy
another horse,

Or cook another meal,

Or take another man,
or...

or I'll starve,

Or I'll go crazy
and welcome it,

Or I'll--

I'll kill the doctor
for not comin',

Or you for not
sittin' with me.

If you wanted
to marry me...

why didn't you stay
and sit?

Would you have ever
married me then?

I mean...

you never said.

Oh, July.

If we were in love,
we'd both know it.

I think you're
mistaking affection

For love.

I was in love once.

That's it for me.

I'd like to go on
bein' friends.

Yes, ma'am.

We'll be friends.

That's fine.

Mama...

look.

Indians.

No.

Only the woman.

I'll be damned.

Be obliged for water
for the horses

And the woman.

Ma'am.

Captain.

Newt here?

No.

I told him to meet me.

You come down
from your horse.

We'll get you
out of those clothes

And into a soak.
Then we'll talk.

You remember
July Johnson?

Hello, Captain.

July, show him
the bath house.

I'll get
the beds ready

And see
to the woman.

Cholo.
Si.

Well, what happened
to you?

Took a fall.

You still haven't
exactly said

Why you've taken
such a fancy

To Newt Dobbs.

Neither have you, lass.

But with the trouble
that's coming,

We're going to need
the loyalty

Of every young man

That's not afraid
to use a gun.

What do you mean?

Nature.

Living out here where
nature can't be tamed

Has taught me one thing.

To stand an even chance,
one's got to plan ahead.

I don't understand.

You will.

This Newt Dobbs,

He's got
some rough edges

Need polishing.

I want you
to sit him down,

Teach him to read,

Do numbers.

See if he's got
the knack.

Oh, and while
you're at it,

You can pick him out
some clothes.

The ones
that he's wearing

Looks as if they're
hand-me-downs.

Why are you asking me
to do all this?

I've got a feeling
about him.

I think
he's got promise.

Gregor...

I love you.

I love you, too, lass.

More than
the morning sun.

Looks like you lost
some weight out there.

Brought you
some of Bob's clothes

When you're ready.

Finally put them
to some use.

Your wife's sleeping.

First time
she ever saw a bed.

I ain't married.

I know Cheyenne custom.

You traded for her;
she's yours.

And proud of it too.

You don't know
nothing of the kind.

She told me
quite a lot.

Far as I can tell,
her name is many tears.

Sounds about right.

Seems she's had
enough hard times.

She says you came
into her people's camp

Half-naked and unafraid.

Well, she got
that first part right.

How did that come about?

She don't speak
no English.

How'd she come
to tell you all this?

I've traded
with the Cheyenne too.

She says
you been good to her.

I'm sure you'll be
very happy together.

I see why you and gus
were such a pair.

You both enjoy laughin'
at others' expense.

I see whatever calamity
you walked into

Hasn't changed
your disposition any.

I pity many tears.

It's a sad woman
needs anything from you.

I didn't want
to tell you right off

'Cause of your condition

But something's happened
with Newt.

This came.

You ought
to have told me.

Now if you'll step
from this room...

I'll dress to leave.

I...

I was fixing to buy some
of your better stock.

Isom Pickett
and Gideon Walker

Will be along shortly.

I appreciate you have
them take a look for me.

No sense looking.
You won't be buying.

I can send money just
as soon as I get to Montana.

I don't want your money.

Why's that?

I don't need it that bad.

There's no excuse
for bad manners.

I...

I owe you an apology.

Just the way it's always
been between us.

So you won't even
let me say I'm sorry.

We say good-bye.

Neither one of us have
a problem with that.

Fine, but I want
your woman to stay.

Thank you.

Welcome.

I'll have Cholo
saddle a horse.

And we'll take good care
of your wife for you.

I'll send payment
for all this

When I get to Montana.

Do right by giving Newt
your name at long last.

That'll be
payment enough.

Woman, how come you give
my brother more food

Than you give me?

I work much harder
than he does.

Now, just hush and go
hang this on Isaac's tree.

Here.

Bye.

They're almost letting us
in with them tonight.

Well, we come a lot
of miles together.

Maybe they're getting
to like us.

There he is.

Nothing against
your brother, Isom,

But I don't want to get
caught downwind of him

Till he gets
to a bathhouse.

La chiva.

Como se dice
en Aleman?

Aleman, no, no, no.
Ingles.

La noche esta oscura, si?

Como se dice en Ingles?

Carlos.

La noche
esta oscura.

The...night...

si.

is...

dark.

Si! Muy bien!

Si, the night is dark.

Gracias.
Thank you, Carlos.

Ahora.
Now...the moon.

Howdy.

Over here.

Whoa. Don't mean
to spook you.

That's close enough.

Don't mean no harm.

Food for your
mustanger?

I've seen that
done before.

Spare anything
from your cook wagon

For a hungry traveler?

We'll go over
nice and easy

So as no one
gets nervous but me.

Good night, Nathan.
Good night, Lizzie.

Good night, mama.

Got any food
left over

For a hungry
stray, Sara?

Biscuits still hot.

Mustangs,
you say.

Unbroke.

Meaning they ain't
worth nothing

To a horse thief.

Not unless he was willing
to work at breaking them.

Most horse thieves ain't
that interested in work,

I've noticed.

Maybe being a horse
thief is work enough.

just trying to
get a smile, Mr. Walker.

How is it
you know my name?

Gideon Walker--

Ranger with
Captain Woodrow Call

And Augustus McCrae.

Made Texas safe
for plain folk.

Like her and me.

Ain't that right,
sister?

True enough...

Mr. Jackson.

Cherokee
Jack Jackson.

Some people
call me that.

My mama,

She called
me Jackie boy.

Maybe she ain't heard
you got a price on your head.

Not in the nations,
sister.

White man's law
don't mean a damn here.

It does in this camp.

Relax, walker.

If I'd known
mustangs was here,

I'd have stayed
in my squaw's bed.

Well, we won't keep you up
any longer, Jackie boy.

Heh.

No, you won't.

Real good coffee,
sister.

Real nice smile,
too, I bet,

When it comes out.

Let's go.

Good luck, Walker.

Most men in the nations

Can't be as choosy as me
about their work.

Anybody hits this herd
will be hanged.

Heh heh heh heh.

The Mexicans fight,
can they?

They've been fightin'
Comanches for centuries.

They seem like
real soft people.

Especially that sweet
little teacher.

I may not be the law here,
but by god,

You are within a hair of
losin' your worthless life.

You pull it,
you'll be a long time

Runnin' down those
worthless broom tails.

Don't that break
your code, ranger?

Ain't I supposed
to be standin'

And facin' you?

Go on.

Get up.

You owe me
for a good gun.

You go now.

What is it?

I just had
a disturbing encounter

With an infamous bastard

By the name
of Cherokee Jack.

In camp?

It was Sara who
told me who he was.

Where is she?

She's all right.
She's at the wagon.

We'd best go find Isaac.

He should be eating that food
you hung up for him.

Let's go.

Come on, giddy-up.

Come on.

It ain't like him
to be so finicky.

Isaac!

What did she put in there
be so leaky?

Isom...

your brother
and me...

we never even
said hello.

I've never
felt more guilty

About a man's dying.

Don't.

I can't hold you responsible.

I'm going to go get him.

No.

He's mine.

You can't take that
away from me.

First, I got to finish
what Isaac started.

Hyah.

He's doing it.

Looks like.

Now you're going to do
something for me.

What?

You find yourself some
loose-fitting clothes.

You cut that hair.

Why?

Every man sees you,
including that dark Indian,

Takes notice.

We got enough trouble
with nature out here.

I don't want to go
courting any other kind.

I can take care
of myself.

You whack off that hair,

Or I'll whack it off
for you.

Senor walker!

I appreciate you
cutting your hair,

But I'm afraid
you wouldn't fool

A blind man.

Sara needs you.

What for?

The children are sick.

They all have fever.

She's over
by the wagon.

It's bad, Gideon.

He's got fever, chills.

His stomach hurts him
something awful,

And everything's running
right through him.

Is it
all the children?

Si. Everyone
except for Lizzie.

But they were
playing together.

I don't know what it is.

It could be they got
some bad food or water.

It happened a lot
in the army.

Doctors
call it dysentery.

Is he going to die?

Not if we keep
good water

Flushing through him
and I can get

To Fort Wallace
and back quick enough.

What's there?

They should have
a supply

Of something
called laudanum.

It comes from opium.
It slows up the gut.

I will go.

I won't let you
ride alone.

It will be faster.
I don't care.

I've been riding alone
all my life.

Those are my people.

They must be protected.

They need you here.

All right.

Look it there.

What's a greaser doing
this far north?

Corporal,
I'm glad you're here.

This young man's party

Is a half a day's ride
to the west.

This is an authorization
for medicine

To be taken to them.

I want you
to give it to the O.D.

In the infirmary.

Pick a man to ride
escort with you.

Ahem--
I'll go.

Fine.
Set out on the double.

Sir.

How come you jumped
at this duty?

You hate them damn mexicans
worse than I do.

I never knowed
a blue-eyed senorita before.

Take a look.

Take a good look.

That face ain't
never seen a razor.

When was the last time
you saw a backside like that

Walking around on a man?

You ready?

I'm ready.

You ready, Johnson?

Let's get moving.

Whoa! Ho!

Why are we stopping?

What's the matter?

Picked up a pebble,
got to work it out.

Well, we might as well
take this opportunity

To rest in the shade
while we got it.

Give me the medicine.
I will go alone.

I'm afraid
we can't do that.

The medicine's
U.S. property.

Yeah, the lieutenant said

We were supposed
to dispense it ourselves

And bring back the rest.

No, my people need
the medicine now.

You won't need that.

Come on down,
chiquita.

Them clothes can't hide
what you got under them.

Please don't do this.

My people are very sick.

Your people...

are dirt.

But you got the makings
of a damn fine poke.

No, no...go away.

Leave.

You are right.

But why make it
unpleasant, huh?

I like big,
strong soldiers.

I've had many like you.

Damn.

Come on, chiquita.

Come on down.

Hey... hey!

Hey.

Come here.

No, no, no.
Wait, wait.

Shh! Wait a minute.

I want to play a little game
with you, ok?

Just watch me.

I want to show you
something.

Huh?

Look at me.

Look at me.

First, I will show you.

Then you show me.

You like this game, huh?

Norteamericanos...

You are so...big.

I'll show you
something big, chiquita!

Gringos.

Did you get it?

How are the children?

They're pretty dried out.

This will ease
their pain, though.

You did fine.

Woodrow Call,
Hat Creek outfit.

You got one of my boys,
Newt Dobbs, locked up?

Another named
Jasper Fant?

They each shot a man.

I'll speak to them now.

Can't do it.
They're gone now.

You saying...

they's hanged?

Like to come to that.

Before somebody could do it,
they was paroled.

Mr. Gregor Dunnigan.

Who's that?

You just fall
from a tree?

The most powerful man
in the territory--

Kenilworth spread.

Had instructions
from the governor.

Out of my hands.

Paroled, you say?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Gregor Dunnigan.

Obliged to you.

Captain's back!
Yee-Hoo!

C-Captain?

Well, Captain, I swear,

I ain't never been
so tickled

To see nobody
in all my days.

Where's Newt?

Newt? He's, uh....

well...he ain't
with us no more.

Why? They hang him?

Did they hang him?

You said he's gone.

H-He is,
but he ain't.

Gone from the ranch.

He ain't hanged.

Dang it, Pea.

How did you let the boy
get into all this?

I left him in your care.

I made a telegraph.

Get your horse.

Yes, sir.

Poor folks really roughing it,
ain't they, Pea?

Ain't seen nothing
like it in all my life.

Howdy, Pea.

Captain.

Howdy, Newt.

Didn't know you were
back, Captain.

I'd have been over.

Got yourself
all cleaned up.

It's real good to see
the both of you.

Where's your friend
Jasper?

He's out
riding the line.

He'll be back.

What was you two
doing in a saloon

When I told you
to meet me at Clara's?

Captain, I'm real sorry
about that.

You can't know
how sorry I am.

Sorry don't get it.
You had a job to do.

Yes, sir.

Jasper and me
figured

We'd spend a night
in Miles City.

Jasper wasn't range boss.
You was.

Yes, sir.
It was all my fault,

But I never
figured on...

I'm listening.

How was I supposed
to know, Captain?

Can't you be happy

I didn't get my neck
stretched by a rope?

Newt

Is my horse ready?

Yes, Ferris.

Uh, Ferris,
this is Captain Call.

Ferris Dunnigan.

Miss Dunnigan.
Ma'am.

Actually, it's
Mrs. Dunnigan,

Captain.

Newt's told me

How much
he admires you.

And Pea Eye,
Newt says

You're a real
good friend.

Thank you, ma'am.

I trust you two
will stay for a meal

And meet my husband
later.

Thanks for the invite.

Kind of you.

Meanwhile, Newt,
why don't you

Fill him in
on all the excitement.

You ready to ride?

Mm-hmm.

It's good to meet
you all.

She part of all this
parole you're on?

Maybe Mr. Dunnigan

Might can
explain it better.

No, you can explain it
all you like

On the way back
to Hat Creek.

We're going now.

Afraid I won't be.

I'll talk
to Mr. Dunnigan first.

Got yourself in real deep,
didn't you?

I owe him, Captain.

Newt, you still
got your job,

You get on your horse
right now.

Come on, Pea.

Boy's head's
all turned around.

Lord, Newt.

I swear...

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

What was that
all about?

He just wanted to make sure
things was all right.

Creek up ahead to the right.

Got some good high ground
for you on the other side.

What's for supper
tonight?

I call it
Sara's surprise.

I can't wait.

Hyah!

That lieutenant said that
2 men he sent with you

Were gunned down.

Said he found them
in a stand of trees.

Funny thing is,

they were, uh, all stripped down

to their drawers for some reason.

He was curious if you
knew how it happened.

I told him there was
no way you could

since you were here with me

When his men left
to go back to the fort.

Senor Walker--

I can't talk now.

I gotta show Isom
that creek.

Lizzie, see if they
need more coffee.

Gracias.

You never killed before?

No.

Well, it's not like
you planned it.

May God forgive me.

There's no need
to whip yourself.

I can imagine what happened.

But I have wanted...

I have
planned to kill...

I have thought
that killing

Would not be enough.

Gringos?

Rangers?

I've known a few I thought
about plugging myself.

There's an ugly breed

That gets drawn
to that line of work sometimes.

Was Augustus McCrae
one of them?

Why can't you leave old Gus be?

I keep telling you
they don't come

No higher caliber
than him.

I rode with Gus.

I trusted him
in all ways.

I wish...

I wish that it
was that easy...

what?

To trust.

You know, we keep an eye
on the sky awhile,

We just might see
a shooting star.

It's the season.

If we do,
you make that wish.

Might come true.

You never know.

Speaking of Gus,

One night, me and him
were sitting in a spot

Just about like this

On a night
just about like this,

And we both saw this old star
go whizzing overhead

Streaked across the sky
from east to west

Like some great rocket
on the fourth of July

And we both made
a wish at the same time.

Go on.

Well, we had one star,
but we had 2 wishes.

Now you got to figure

That one of us made our wish
quicker than the other.

Could have been me,
could have been old Gus.

So whose do you
think come true?

Yours?

Nope.

His.

What was that?

That someday,
he'd have a child...

a child
with his courage

And a burning curiosity
about him

And everything
he ever did or was.

Don't touch me.

All I meant to do
was give you

My shoulder to lean on.

Same as your daddy would
if he was here.

I hope Augustus McCrae
burns in hell.

"Come back, come back,

He cried in...grife"?

No, that's "grief."

Well, if it's "cried,"

Why ain't it "grife"?

Why isn't it?

Because "i" before "e"

Is usually
an "ee" sound.

A long "i" sound
like "cried"

Or "died" or "lied,"
that's an exception.

Are you paying
attention?

I'm trying to.

Is the shirt
I picked out for you?

I washed it
for the lesson.

It's nice.

It suits you.

I never had nothing
this nice before.

Neither had I
until I met Gregor.

Gave me everything
I thought I wanted.

What do you want,
Newt?

I just want
things to be right.

Did you ever want
something so bad

You'd do anything
to get it?

I want to talk
to Captain Call.

About what?

How much I owe
Mr. Dunnigan,

Why I'm here.

He thinks it's
because of you.

Is it?

I don't want him
thinking that.

Well, you better tell
Gregor first.

Newt, come in, lad.

What's on your mind?

Captain Call, sir.

Now, I owe him
a powerful lot, too.

I'd like to get
straight with him.

I thought I'd ride over.

Captain Call
doesn't seem to be

A very reasonable man.

Well, he's got
a narrow set of rules,

And I broke 'em
awful bad.

Tell me, has he ever
talked to you

About becoming
a Peace officer again?

No, sir.

He's given over
to ranching

For good, I believe.

That's a pity.

A man as hard as that

Could be useful
to the future of Montana.

How do you figure, sir?

This has always been
a wild country, Newt.

All these freebooters
moving in,

Filling up all the--
All the land.

There needs to be some
rules and regulations,

A new sense of order.

There's got to be
somebody

To enforce
that sense of order.

So you ride out
to Captain Call,

You tell him that he's
invited to join our roundup

With all the other
big spreads in the area.

Hmm?

You tell him that he's
more than welcome.

Oh, he ain't much
for big groups, sir.

I think it's important

Meet the other people

In the area--
In the territory, hmm?

Find out
who his friends are.

I know you'll make that
very plain to him.

Yes, sir.
I'll try, sir.

Good man.

Newt come back.

Newt's here!

Newt.

Hey, Ben,
Newt's come back!

Neil, Lippy,
it's been a long time.

Newt.

How you doing?

Pea,
it's good to see you.

Captain?

I need to talk to you
some more,

Just try to set things
straight a little.

Mrs. Dunnigan and I
are friends,

But I ain't there
because of her.

Explain quitting
the job I give you.

I didn't quit.

Me and Jasper
was in jail.

They was gonna hang us.

I sent you a telegram.

Then Mr. Dunnigan
come in

And said
we was paroled to him.

How'd you get in jail?

I tried to explain it
to you--

You're gonna judge me
as hard as you judged

Jake Spoon the day you
hung him, aren't you?

There's lots of Jake Spoon
in your behavior.

You might turn out
just like him.

You saying Jake's my pa,
Captain?

Well, I'd
a hell of a lot rathered

It was Jake than you

'Cause Jake knew people
could make mistakes.

Like my momma
the day she made me--

With you or Jake

Or somebody
I don't even know.

So if you're thinking
I'm a bad seed,

You go right ahead because
it's probably the truth.

And if I'm your seed,
it's dead certain.

That's what you
come to say?

You said it.

Mr. Dunnigan's having

A big roundup
at Kenilworth.

All the big outfits
throwing in together.

That's what
I come to say.

You be on your way.

Pea...

boys...

I hold nothing
against any of you.

You're all my friends.

But I ride
for Mr. Dunnigan now.

And that might
come to mean

We've seen things
the same way

For the last time.

Adios.

Let's get to work.

Ain't no law against work.

Hyah! Yah!
Yah!

Senora!

July, come quick!

Sally! Betsy!
Get out of the house!

Drive the horses
to the north range.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Aah.

Sally!

Sally!

Where are you?!

Betsy!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Come on! Whoa!

Aah! Unh!

Unh!

MY SON,
LISTEN TO MY WORDS...

...ALL MEN
ARE BORN EQUAL...

...BUT FOLLY IS BOUND UP
IN THE HEART OF A CHILD...

...AND WHEN HE BEGINS TO
FOLLOW HIS PATH...

...HE WILL NEVER
GO ASTRAY.

WHOEVER WALKS WITH THE WISE
BECOMES WISE.

BUT THE COMPANION OF FOOLS
WILL SUFFER HARM.

THE HOLY BIBLE - ECCLESIASTES

You see what happens
when children tease the fire?

The fire is a great friend,
but it doesn't want to be confidential.

Walt, do you think
I still appeal to my Johnny?

Sure you will appeal
to him, signora.

Please, don't cry,
don't cry.

Come on, your father shall
see you clean and neat.

The bandits, signora!

Search the house!

Jerry!

Truly a lovely broad.
Her master will mourn after her.

She was a filthy Indian.
He'll get a new one for these 7 coins.

SEVEN DOLLARS TO KILL

Get going!
Come on, muchachos! Hurry!

Catch him.

- What?
- The boy, you idiot! Catch him!

Let's go, muchachos!
Let's go!

On your horses, muchachos!
On the horses!

Hey blondie... Who knows
why he wanted to save your life.

Come with me.

You idiot! How are you carrying the boy?
He's no sack of potatoes!

Don't make him cry,
understood?

Come on!

We have to be at the hideout
before dark. Let's go.

- Hi Edward.
- Greetings, Johnny.

My journeys won't be
the same without you.

You too are a part of the old West
that dwindles away.

Which is renewing,
due to your courage.

Today, we'll have a celebration for everyone.
Also for me, who definitely comes home.

- Good luck, Johnny.
- And good luck to you, Edward.

- Edward! Come on, we're waiting for you!
- I'm coming!

- Fellows, greet Johnny, who's coming home.
- Johnny!

- Hi Johnny!
- Good to see you're back again.

- Goodbye!
- Greetings, Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny, this is yours.

It's what you gave me
when your journey began.

No, just keep it.

Fortunately, it wasn't necessary
to use it, right, Sam?

New and brave leaders
are needed.

- Thanks, Johnny! And good luck!
- Goodbye, Sam.

- What's this all about?
- Raise him!

Bring him back
from where you got him.

- I'm no foster mother.
- He shall become tall and strong.

- You can't make me do it with your antics.
- Raise him like he was your child.

- Since you can't give me one anyway.
- Then get yourself a woman who can!

You shouldn't
have said that.

Rosaria.

Rosaria!

Pull strongly.

- So, is this the whole loot?
- Yeah.

That's not enough!

- You're satisfied with that, right?
- Well...

But I'm not!

We have weapons and horses,
we can make more!

Get out! Get out!
Out of here!

I want more!

Go away!

Make him stop!

Why are you stopping?

Don't you want to know
how tall my Jerry became?

Rosaria!

Rosaria!
Bring me something to eat!

- What do we call him?
- Who?

The midget.

He's no midget!
He's my son, got it?

Call him whatever
you want, woman!

- Then I'll call him Jerry!
- Jerry?

Alright... Jerry.

Jerry!

Jerry! I'm here!

Judy!

My love!

Jerry, where are you?

Now you know why I'm
looking for these men.

I'm sorry that I can't help you,
but you should accept my offer.

No, sheriff.

If you need men,
offer your star to someone else.

- I don't need it.
- I'm warning you, Johnny Ashley.

If you decline, you're risking
to turn against the law.

My wife was killed
for no reason.

Only for the joy of killing
and the passion for bloodshed.

Only they know if my son
is still alive, and where he is.

I can't wait to meet them by chance
with a star on my chest.

I'll look for them.

I'll search the entire area
for them, step by step.

I'll track them down
in their hideouts.

I'll pursue all murderers,
everyone with a bounty on his head.

The law is certainly on your side,
but don't use the wrong method.

In case you find the culprits,
let justice carry out its duty.

Otherwise, your violence
will turn against yourself.

- Where are you taking him?
- Hi Johnny.

Where do you think
we're taking him?

To the only place that's
good enough for him: The gallows!

He wasted two men
to steal a horse.

- Where's he from?
- From a nearby village.

We know him well.

Drop your weapon!
Hands up! You too!

I'll shoot the first one
that moves, just like a dog!

Get off the horses!

Hands against
the wall!

And you grab the knife
and poke it into my cantle.

Come on, hurry up!

No tricks!

To the others!

He didn't even give him time to pray,
in case he wanted to do so.

Bye, Johnny.

Men like Johnny, who have
unfinished business with fate...

...don't do things
by halves.

They either accept it,
or they're ready to do anything.

Let's go!

Stop!

You damn snake!
I'll show you who's the boss!

- You're my downfall!
- Let the woman go, you pig!

What has she
done to you?

She's a
bad wife, senor.

She foisted a bunch
of children on me...

...and now she's about
to impose another one on me.

Let's go!

Back!
Let's turn around!

Hey, you two!
Have you unloaded everything?

Open up!

Gold...

- Gold!
- Show it...

Listen, Bill.
We have to share it with too many.

Hey Jack!

Hey!
We're coming, Jack!

Hand me the rifle,
we'll have some fun now.

Now I'll take
the two of them to task.

Hey!

Load up
all four boxes!

Gringo!
Everything alright?

- Everything's fine, boss.
- We're going home! Come on!

Let's go, muchachos!

Put the injured ones
into the carriage...

...and bury the dead.
I'll let the sheriff know.

Stop!

What a coup, boss!

You kept us waiting,
but you were right.

Your plan was perfect.

Only few, but good coups.
We could live many years on that.

- Four boxes full of gold dollars.
- This will make waves.

The bank will set
all available men on us.

We have to beat it.
As soon as we're at the hideout...

...we'll break up the gang.
- What will happen to the men?

Many of them will be arrested,
and some will be forced to talk.

At that point, everyone of us
will be in a safe place.

At the camp, you'll share
two boxes of gold among the men.

And besides the gold, everything
that belongs to them.

After this everyone will go
his own way.

Nobody shall remain at the camp,
and nobody shall follow me.

May I come
with you, boss?

Are you afraid of staying alone?
You're a coward!

Wait a minute...

Or is it because
you like my broad?

No, Jack!
Lt's about Jerry.

Let's go!

So you know nothing
about this gang of murderers?

No, no, as I told you before,
nothing ever happens around here.

- This is a very quiet place.
- Sheriff!

Sheriff!

Sheriff! Our caravan
was raided by bandits!

They lured us into a trap
and started killing us.

They snatched the gold
and took off.

They even killed two
of their allies.

- They were jackals, no humans.
- Where did they raid you?

Ten miles from here,
at the Devil's Pass.

Prepare the horses
and get some weapons.

What do you want?

I can see I scared you.
I'm sorry for that.

You don't need
the gun.

I don't intend using it
if you clear off right now!

You're not
very hospitable.

I've been riding all day,
and tomorrow I'll do it again.

It shouldn't bother you
if I sleep here, too.

For the last time: Beat it!
One more step and I'll kill you!

Seems like
you're hiding something.

If that was the case,
I'd feel sorry for you.

If I were as inhospitable as you are,
I'd kick you out now.

But I'm a nice guy.

Well, what are
you hiding?

Come on, talk!

Nothing!

Who are you?

I'm a merchant.

Trading gold?

I have no idea
what you mean.

Come on, gunslinger! Take them.
They're yours.

I said, take them.

Not like that!

I don't want to kill you.
We have to talk.

And now be careful
what you answer.

I'm looking for a gang that killed an
Indian woman on a farm some years ago...

...and kidnapped a child.
You're part of this gang!

- Where's your camp?
- I know about a small gang.

- I said, answer the questions.
- You want me to make something up?

Come on, talk.
Who's the boss?

Where's he hiding?

I'm the father of this child
and I have to know if it's still alive.

You must tell me!
Do you understand, you bastard!

Well, are you
finally talking?

Roughness Mountains.

Barkeeper!

Senor?

- Bring us something to drink.
- At once, senor!

Hold it!
Who's that over there?

- My wife.
- Let her serve me!

But she's busy, senor.
She can't leave the bar.

Do what I told you if you
don't want her to become a widow.

You'd do her
a big favor with that.

Alright, senor.

Ramon, I'd like to see
a special show today.

- As you know, that'll cost a little, Juan.
- Twice a week's pay. How about that?

Who's that man?

- The one over there.
- Good.

I'll come to visit you tonight,
while your husband's sleeping.

Why, muchachito?

Did mommy allow you
to go out tonight?

Yeah, but only until
sandman arrives.

Damn pig!

I really regret that.

You have to admit
that I had no choice.

I couldn't have let
my friend killed.

My deepest regrets...
senor.

Bill, back me up.

Jerry, your father
is asking for you.

I don't leave
any debts.

Take this!

Thanks, Bill.

- How many men can you provide?
- How many do you want, senor?

- 20.
- When do you need them?

- By tomorrow.
- Alright then. Agreed.

So long, senor.

- You asked for me?
- Yes, we'll return to the North.

Next time, your hands
will be cut off.

At least it won't be the
same man who'll do that.

Don't butt in. This is man's business.
Prepare everything.

We'll take off tomorrow.

Beware of women, my son.
They're dangerous!

Very much indeed!
Even more than the redskins!

Stranger!

Stranger, come here quickly!
There are bandits down there! My mother...

Mother! Mother!

Thanks, senor.

- Who are you?
- Where is your husband?

On the fields.

Tell him that
he's a lucky man.

You and five more men go this way.
You others come with me. Let's go!

Jerry! Manuel!

Catch those two!

Jack! They're coming.

Why only
one horse, Jerry?

What have you done?
Did it run away?

But this is mine.

Get down.

Idiot!

I told him that you
wouldn't approve of all this.

Where are you going?

Towards the old mine.

The old mine...

Hey! Haven't we met
somewhere before?

I don't know
sleazy boors like you.

But I know you well,
and I know that you're a vulture.

Oh, please!
You won't get the gun.

Go!

Come on, keep going!
Finish him off!

Come on!
What are you waiting for?

Let's go!

When we're at the hideout,
you and Bill head south.

- You got a new plan?
- Yes, Wishville.

The bank's head office.

All local gold-diggers
lodge their gold there.

The plan must be well thought through.
I want to know three things.

The first:
When are the boxes full of gold?

The second:
Which day is the best?

The third:
How do you get inside the bank?

I've been wishing for some
city life for a long time.

And thanks for your
faith in me, dad.

Yes, but beware of
the women in the city.

They're even
more dangerous.

Water is valuable.
You didn't portion it properly.

Wishville is still
far away.

Hey, you guys!

They killed my horse
for a mouthful of water.

Without you they would have
killed me as well.

- Thank you.
- I didn't do this because of you.

My horse was thirsty.

Hey!

He won't come.

What...

Just like that.
You don't cheat, you don't win.

- When playing alone, cheating isn't necessary.
- Bullshit.

- I alone control my fate.
- Let's say, you think you control it.

There are some things
I like about you.

Including...

...your adorable
stubbornness.

So long.

Who's that?

- I don't know yet...
- Pardon?

No, it's nothing.

Fred!

I ordered 10 boxes of whiskey.
You think that's enough?

- Yes, madam!
- Give me the usual.

Where are the girls?

We practiced...
and then they went off.

You're a
precious co-worker.

I don't know what I'd do
without a little sister like you.

Fine.
You had this repaired, too.

We're two single women.
But we get along well, right?

Yes.

Very nice, Sybil.
This was a wonderful premiere. Bravo.

Thanks, Fred.

Your voice is lovely.
You deserve a much more important stage.

Thanks.

Somehow, serious remarks
don't suit you.

The atmosphere here makes
all words seem hardly serious.

Let's meet
somewhere else.

- You're not losing any time, are you?
- I have very little time indeed.

Look out.
Your sister is watching us.

I bet she's looking for an excuse
to keep me away from you.

Tomorrow morning at 10:30 am,
I'll be at the Layman's Bridge.

No... Don't answer.

If you don't come...
I'll understand.

- Goodbye, Sybil.
- Goodbye.

Bill.
My name's Bill.

- Bill...
- Bill... and Sybil.

- Bravo, Sybil.
- Thanks.

- Do you know, who he is now?
- Yes, his name's Bill.

But I don't understand
why you're so worried about him.

I don't like this stranger.
There's something shady about him.

Something inscrutable.
I'd avoid him, if I were you.

- Now you're exaggerating.
- I don't think so.

I just want to
keep you from harm.

Don't worry, Emily.
I'll be alright.

I'll get changed now.
I'm a little tired.

But I thank you...

Emily.

Johnny Ashley!

- Hi Emily.
- Let me know when you come here.

- It's not that easy.
- Too bad.

Beacuse then I could
look forward to this moment.

- Let's drink to your return.
- You're beautiful as always.

- The usual, boss?
- One sherry and a whiskey.

- Alright.
- You still remember.

Memory is my perdition.

When will you finally stop
straying around in the wide west?

I don't know.

The end of your story
isn't written yet.

Let's banish our sad worries
and drink to our future, Johnny.

- As I can see, business goes well.
- Well, Wishville is growing continuously.

I think I found the
right place this time.

- Now there's the goldmine as well.
- And with gold comes progress.

- Progress and weapons.
- Fred, give us two whiskeys.

You already heard
the news, Mark?

Johnny Ashley, Johnny Ashley, the famous,
lawless avenger came to Wishville.

Then we don't have to worry.
He'll apply himself to the sheriff's service.

No, you're wrong about that.
He doesn't want the star on his chest.

He creates
his own law.

My friend, I think
you're exaggerating!

Take your hands down, Johnny Ashley!
They're smeared with blood!

Get up!

Come on!

Take your hands off!

That burns, huh?

Come on, get your
hands off!

Get them off,
I said!

- What's going on here?
- They provoked him, sheriff!

When they're conscious again,
they'll leave the country. Take them away!

I was told that
you were in town.

Come to my office later.
I have to talk to you.

Take it, this will
do you good.

Thanks.

Come in!

I've been
expecting you, Johnny.

Are you traveling through or
are you going to settle down here?

Did you ask me to come
to find that out?

I need men like you.

The discovery of the mine will make
lots of gold flow into our bank.

I must be prepared
for anything.

But I can't stay until
the gold sources are exhausted.

I'm not asking
for that.

But you can help me
until I find other men.

Agreed.

I'll do it, but I
can't tell you for how long.

I can live with that.

Come, I'll walk you
to the hotel.

- Is this one free?
- Yes.

- Then I'd rather sleep here.
- As you wish.

Then you're also
on duty at night.

- Bill...
- Sybil...

Bill... and Sybil.

Sybil!
Where have you been?

I asked you,
where have you been!

I forbid you to act like that.
Who do you think you are?

You're just a stupid cow who went
with the first one who came along.

- If you want to fight, then do it gently.
- There's no reason for that.

You mustn't see this man
any more. Basta!

- What did he do to you?
- I don't like him!

But you're not the one
who has to like him.

Let's play on the table
next to the stairs.

Okay, alright.

Come in.

Oh, it's you, Johnny.

- What's wrong?
- It's about Sybil.

She fell in love
like a schoolgirl.

Happens to everyone.
It happened to you as well.

Sure, to me as well,
but not with that kind of man.

- Why?
- I know his type.

- Sybil should stay away from him.
- Then try to convince her.

But she just won't listen.
And I can't take care of everything.

If you were here...
it would be different.

I agreed to cooperate
with the sheriff for a while.

Johnny, that's wonderful.
Why didn't you say that right away?

This time, I sure won't
let you leave again.

- Why don't you hook up with me?
- Because I haven't achieved my goal yet.

I spent the last years
selling what was mine.

And I think, I still have enough
to reach the bitter end.

What else can we expect then?
Nothing but loneliness, fear and bitterness!

Stay, Johnny.
I'm begging you.

I understand
how you feel, Emily.

But I can't make
a decision now.

I'm sorry, but I want to see
the end of a certain thing.

What a lousy evening!

I've had enough.
I'm going to sleep.

If the gentlemen allow,
I'll take the empty seat.

I don't mind.

- It's alright. Sit down.
- Thanks.

One condition, gentlemen:
I want everyone to put their guns away.

I don't care about losing
1.000 dollars, but my life...

...I'd like to keep.

- I begin.
- Call.

Me too.

Call.

- And I raise this.
- Fold.

- I'm in.
- I'm not.

How many cards?

Three.

I take two.

Pot.

Let me see.

Three kings.

That's not enough.

Three aces.

Hey pal!
You're playing with too many cards!

There's no place
for cheaters here.

Let's go, my son.

You can refresh your thoughts
in the cool cell.

- You should thank him.
- Oh yeah?

No need to.
You rescued me once, too.

I can't remember.

But if you say so,
then we're even.

- I don't owe you anything.
- Wait a minute.

This is a quiet town.
Don't try to change that.

Is this him?

Yes.

Why did you call me?

Because you, while I'm waiting
for an answer to the three things...

...waste your time with such a sissy.
- I'm not that stupid.

I need her to warrant
my presence in Wishville.

Tonight, we definitely would
have returned to the camp.

Meanwhile, I got all
the information you wanted.

And?

The gold-diggers came back to the city
to deposit their nuggets in the bank.

Tomorrow would be a good day for the coup,
before the gold is brought to another branch.

No one will be suspicious.
This will be a breeze.

Bravo, Jerry!
I wasn't wrong about you.

We'll get started tomorrow,
but you can't be seen with us.

The best moment
is during church service.

While they're praying,
we'll be working.

Someone's there.

- It's Sybil.
- Follow her!

And remember:
Only the dead don't talk!

What do you want?
Back off, you scoundrel!

I want to see you
on the gallows!

On the gallows!

Sybil!
What happened?

Sybil! Sybil!

You were right.

He is a mug.

He belongs
to a gang...

...that plans
to rob...

...the bank tomorrow.

Sybil! Sybil!

Sybil...

The time has come.
Now I really need you, Johnny.

We'll prepare an appropriate
reception for them.

- How quiet it is...
- Does that bother you?

That's exactly what you wanted.
Everyone's at the service in church.

Yes, but that silence...
I don't like it.

Not at all.

You dirty gringo!
Say your last prayer!

Hey Roger!
Let's beat it, before they kill us, too!

You're were even more merciless
than you're said to be.

I don't know.
I just know it was different this time.

They wanted our gold.
They got our lead!

They were taught a tough lesson.
They'll leave us alone now.

They won't bother us.

Stop it!

Why are you staring
at me like that?

They waited for us!
The gang was destroyed!

Your father and Bill
were killed by Johnny Ashley!

Let Johnny Ashley know...

...that tomorrow,
I will kill him like a dog!

Tomorrow at sunrise, the jackal's son
will come to kill Johnny Ashley!

Johnny Ashley...
You must kill me!

You took the wrong door.

The theater
is over the road.

You probably think
I'm crazy.

Maybe I'll get crazy because of you,
when you've killed my son as well.

That's just like killing me.
Then you can take the gun right now.

This is more in line with your character,
isn't it, Johnny Ashley?

- Who are you?
- The wife of the man you murdered.

And my son is on his way to the city
to avenge his father.

- What do you want from me?
- Don't accept this challenge.

- The boy will die, and you know it!
- Johnny Ashley! Get out, you coward!

Johnny Ashley!

Johnny Ashley!
Where are you?

I dedicated my whole life
to these two men.

Your son is a murderer.
He belongs to the law.

Johnny Ashley!

Johnny Ashley!

Where are you?

Get out!
Get out!

Johnny Ashley!
I heard about your story.

But this is only one part.
Only I know the other one.

I lied to you.
Jerry's not my son!

Jack brought him after a holdup,
when he was two years old.

I'm here,
Johnny Ashley!

I came to avenge
my father.

Jerry, no!

Stop!

Listen to me!
Listen to me!

Jack Wilson
wasn't your father!

Then you're not
my mother!

Defend yourself,
you coward!

I said,
defend yourself!

Or I'll
kill you anyway!

Are your
hands paralyzed?

Move them, coward!

Jerry, run!
They'll hang you! Run away!

Jerry...

Jerry, they'll hang you!

You understand?
Run away!

Jerry, you hear me?
Listen to me, Jerry...

Jerry...

Jerry...

My son...

My son...
