Good boy.

you

so so

Got some nice breakfast for you, boys.

Hey, Joe.

Wake up and eat something.

You're gonna appear before the judge.

You're stinking drunk.

What are you putting me here for? We don't want anything.

Way to a son of a bitch.

Woke us up. He don't give a damn.

Hey, Joe, you hear me?

You're gonna appear before the judge.

Bob Mitchell hit me?

Yep.

Who else?

And some others.

Took three of them to get you in here last night.

I'll be back for you.

Smells good, huh?

Wait on.

You would like some?

You say, please, senor Naco.

Say it.

I want to remind you, these are hearings.

We aren't suing anybody yet.

We're here to see if any of you people have a legal claim, and if you do, then

a suit will be filed to take into court.

But I want you to think before you act.

Now, I don't know whether or not the land grants you claim to have signed by

the king of Spain or the emperor of Mexico...

are gonna stand up against the deeds and titles on file in this courthouse.

Now, I do have some other court matters to attend to before adjourning, so I'm

gonna postpone these hearings until tomorrow.

Why don't you have time to give careful consideration to what you've done?

I advise you use proof.

Take a legal action that's going to set some people's teeth on edge.

Yo. Give it your kid right now.

Come on, Joe.

They're waiting on you.

You want some?

Go ahead, take it.

You want some?

What in the hell's going on in there?

Nothing. The boy just spilled his breakfast.

You shouldn't have hit me, Bob.

Next time I'll knock your damn head off.

Let's go see the judge.

Three warrants on Joe Kidd here. Poaching, disorderly, and resisting

arrest. You said poaching?

Yes, sir.

Witness saw him carrying a buck off the Hickory Reservation.

Arresting a man for shooting a deer?

Well, I warned him before, and he admits killing it.

What'd you do with this deer?

I ate him.

You know it's against the law to hunt on reservation land?

Well, a deer did know where he was, and I wasn't sure either.

Saying you plead guilty?

I'm saying I shot a mule deer over south of Monero.

That's on the reservation.

Last night, your honor, I told him he had to pay a fine. He got nasty.

That's a disorderly charge?

No, sir.

On a disorderly, I had to arrest him for something else.

What?

Well, he was standing out there, and he claimed he was going to urinate over the

courthouse.

You do just about whatever you feel like, is that it?

Anything else?

Yes or it.

Whether or not you want to pay a $10 fine or spend 10 days in jail.

I'll take the 10 days.

Yana, this court's adjourned till 2 o'clock.

You think you can sit in that jail while Calvin waits on you? No, sirree. You

want to paint? You going to scrub floors? I'm going to work your...

I

want to inform you people you're in a United States territorial court.

Man, we have listened to you enough.

Now, now it is our turn.

You know, when the Anglo first wished to build a house in Sonola, he asked

permission.

Yes, yes, the old people, our grandfathers say it is all right.

There is enough land. Let the Anglo have a home.

Then you build more houses, and more you bring in the railroad, and you make the

courthouse.

Yes, that is when we begin to hear you say strange things.

Two years ago, we start to see about our land claims.

We go to the record office in Santa Fe and ask the man for the copies of our

deeds and the titles.

You know what he say?

No, we don't have any records like that anymore.

There was a fire in the courthouse and all the records, they got burnt up.

I told the people before, you feel you have a legal claim and can prove it. We

have heard all that.

Ricardo.

We let you use our land.

But you're pirates. You wish to steal it all.

Look, mister, whatever your name is, I am Luis Chama.

So you're Chama.

Well, personally, I feel you're a lot more trouble than you're worth, but I'm

still going to inform you, you are committing a criminal offense before a

witness in a court of justice.

That is the word.

Justice.

Later, we will have much time to talk about it.

What are you staring at?

I just want to make sure I remember your face, honey, when you come to try.

I want to show you something.

Anglos claim they own all the land, no?

Big cattle and timber companies.

One day, one day there was a fire.

Put him in a cage.

Wait until you see him.

Let's go, Custer.

Who's with him? Joe Key. He was in a jail.

I don't care about him. Get the judge.

I suggest we go right on out back here, Hunter.

Yeah. Hi.

Hello, Joe. How'd you make out?

I'm not sure yet, Harry.

I guess I better go.

Yeah, I guess so.

Maybe we'll see each other in jail again sometime, huh?

That's possible.

Adios. Adios.

They broke those two fellas out of jail! I said, where in the hell have you been?

Where? In jail.

Gee, it's a trauma party.

Get out of there. Get your guns.

Guns. Down.

I'll take the posse out.

You stay here.

Will you try to keep some law and order in this town while I'm gone?

Bob, how are we going to find him?

He just left some fresh tracks, didn't he?

Oh, they scattered tracks all over out there. How in the hell are we supposed

to know which one's a Louie Chalmers?

He gets up in the mountains, he'll be home.

He could stay up there for good.

Now, just a damn minute.

I'm not begging any of you to go with me.

You want to sit home with your fat asses while that wild son of a bitch is

roaming loose, that's up to you.

If you don't mind him cutting your fences and running your stock, it's all

right with me.

But get the hell out of the way, because I'm riding, and I'm going to bring back

him or his hire.

Hey, Joe, what are you doing standing over there?

Serving 10 days.

Bob? You know Joe's the one we need.

You want to go?

I haven't gotten anything against Louis Chama.

Bossy couldn't get him yet.

That's gonna work.

Joe, you take your broom, that shovel and that rake and that bucket.

You go to Courthouse Square and you pick up everything that's not nailed down or

painted.

Go to the Grand Hotel.

You bet.

Good morning, Mr. Harlan.

These telegraph messages come in last night and this morning.

One of them, I notice, all the way from Chicago.

Mr. Harlan, I want you to know what a pleasure it is to have you and your

friends.

It's been how long? Two or three months?

Time goes so fast. Seems like yesterday.

Oh, my, no. I'm glad you weren't here yesterday. I guess you heard about the

excitement we had here.

I've reserved the governor's suite for you, and, uh...

Two other rooms.

Will that be it?

Mr. Holland?

I want the whole second floor.

Oh, I've got, yes, the other rooms.

I mean, I don't have extra space anywhere.

What am I supposed to do?

I can't very well tell them to get up and get out, can I?

Give me ten bucks a head.

I'll throw them out the window.

Why don't you just say the rooms are spoken for and there's nothing you can

do about it? If they give you any trouble, just give me a holler.

I don't see what's wrong with saying the rooms are spoken for.

Send it out for me.

Hello, Mr. Harlan.

Ma'am.

Is there anything I can do for you?

I want to see a man named Joe Kidd.

Joe Kidd's locked up in jail.

If he weren't, I doubt we'd be talking.

So you knew we had him locked up in jail, huh?

I'd like to pay the fine on him. I want you to send him over to me.

Didn't know he was a friend of yours.

Just send him on over. We'll be on the second floor.

Mr. Harlan wants to see you.

Who? Mr. Harlan.

I don't know the man.

Do you know his name?

Never heard of him.

He knows you and he's paid your fine.

He wants to see you right now.

Yeah, where is he?

Over at the hotel.

And he's paid my fine, huh?

Mm-hmm.

I can't be all bad.

Get you okay?

Yeah. I'll be with you in a minute.

Hey, aren't you going to wait?

Well, you sure don't look like you're supposed to.

Well, just how am I supposed to look?

Well, you're all dressed like some town dude.

Hey, were you really leaving? Not going to wait?

Well, he has to see me. But if he's busy, maybe some other time.

You don't know Mr. Harlan very well, do you?

Is that what you call him?

Mr. Harlan?

I call him Frank.

A few other things. Why?

Well, you, uh...

Don't look like his daughter.

I don't think you're his wife.

I'm not his mother either.

What you do take care of at times.

Ask him if you like.

Or find out for myself.

How long have they had you locked up?

Two days.

What would you be like after two months?

We wouldn't even be talking now.

Mr. Harland can see in there.

Mr. Harland, your kid.

Kid? Joe Kidd.

I'll say this, you come well-recommended.

Judge Vince Brennan, Fourth Territorial Court, spoke very highly of you.

A man with an Indian bureau named O'Wattles, I believe.

Said you used to work up at the Hickorilla Apache Station.

Know the mountains and game trails better than anybody.

You supplying their meat for them?

Yeah, I worked for a few years.

Boy, that understood you hunted men.

Anybody with a price on his head, good at it.

That was a long time ago.

Now you got a one-loop outfit on big wash, you work when you're not out

hunting?

I get out now and then, yeah.

Well, we propose to spend about a week, maybe ten days, pay you whatever your

rate is, and a bonus for everything we shoot worth a mountain.

Get us some mule deer, some elk.

Hey, one of them mountain cats, would you see one?

Now, do you think this piece of iron will stop one of them big old cats?

Yeah, I suppose it would. It lets you get close enough.

Get close enough, you hear that, Mingo?

The kid I like, he'd meet my associates, Mr. Olin Mingo, Lamar Sims, Roy Gannon.

Now, these gentlemen are A-1 first-class hunters, my friend, and I'd bet them...

Against anybody at any distance.

You believe that?

Well, if he says so, it's all right with me.

Well, whatever he says, that's it.

Put it here, buddy.

Shut the window, Lamar.

Now, we're gonna need four head of horses, which we'll buy off you if you

want. Come to your place tomorrow night after dinner and start first thing in

the morning.

You're asking me to guide for you, huh?

What do you think I've been talking about all this time?

Well, I don't hire out to guide.

Either hunting for animals or men.

You don't believe we're after Mule Deer at all, do you?

You're after Louie Shama.

Seen through it right away, didn't you?

Got a keen eye.

That's simple enough.

You deal in land, and he wants to take it away from you.

Yeah, if the sheriff here can't stop him, I will, mister.

I got claim to 935 sections.

It's nearly 600,000 acres.

And I'm not going to permit some sheepherder by the name of Louis Chema

to get away with cutting fences and stirring up the Mexican population with

talk about land reform.

Or am I gonna waste time arguing in court?

Now, here it is.

I'll give you... $500 to help us track that man.

If it's your shot that gets him, it's all right with me.

$500. What do you say?

I already said it.

Wait a minute, sir. I paid a fine on you. Got you out of jail.

Well, if you want your $10 back, I'll serve out the rest of the time.

Uh... He's going on a hunting trip.

I'll be back.

Take him. They take the horses too.

When did this happen? Where?

This morning, early.

Emilio say stay home. And they take him. There, up there.

Joseph. Joseph, where you been?

Chama do this?

With some of his men.

They take some horses and shoot the rest.

The ones say you kill a friend of his.

So he do this.

Say he's gonna kill you too.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

Come on in.

You want Lewis Gemma?

Got thinking about the money. Did you change your mind?

Do you want him?

I told you the deal, $500, and I don't care who pulls the trigger on him. The

price will be $1,000.

All right.

Anything else?

Nope.

I'll meet you downstairs.

You want something?

You know how many holes I can put in you with this gun?

Lamar, I got a dollar sense I can break your neck before you get that rig moved

a half inch.

Yeah.

Well, Mr. Holland wants you around.

That's the only reason I don't plug you right now.

Mr. Harm doesn't want me around anymore.

You let me know, huh, boy?

As I say my prayers, we might get lucky and find him sitting home waiting on us,

Mingo. Right.

Walk in there, how do you do, Mr. Chambers? For a dumbass sheep dipper,

you sure have been bothering.

I was in all kinds of discomfort.

There's supposed to be a road west of here we could save some time.

Game doesn't walk down roads.

We're supposed to be hunting mule deer.

If we find somebody walking down the road, which don't seem likely, does it?

Well, we've had company now for about a mile.

Where at?

Both sides of us.

I don't see a goddamn thing. How many of them?

Three, maybe more.

What the hell's going on?

You keep your mouth shut.

We got people going along with us. Maybe shaming, maybe not.

I don't see anybody.

I see him, Frank.

That's right where he said.

Listen, I could wing one of those fellas if you wanted to talk to him.

They're not much for staying hit, are they?

No.

They're showing themselves, showing they don't give a darn. They know they got us

outnumbered.

Buenos dias, senor.

Buenos dias.

Nice-looking string you have there.

Still green. They'll be all right.

You rope them?

Yeah. We chase them three, four days.

You haven't by any chance seen any elk around, have you?

No. Some deer.

You out hunting, eh?

You haven't been home for a while?

No.

No, not for a few days.

Listen, you want some game?

Go into San Juan's.

Maybe you'll get a bear.

My friend, I want to ask you a question.

I want to ask it only one time.

Yeah?

Where's Luis Chama?

Luis Chama?

Yeah, I saw him sometime.

Are you looking for him?

Well, we gotta go.

If I see Luis Chama, I'll tell him you're asking for him.

Vámonos. Adiós.

Mingo, I want him alive.

Well, I got him through the arm. He must have jumped some, though, because I was

aiming for his shoulder.

Now then, you say you saw Lewis Chamor where?

I don't know anybody that name.

Well, we can cut your ears off if you want.

I don't know him.

We can cut something else off, too.

He says, tell you anything, why get chopped up?

Chico, the only way you're gonna stay alive is if you answer my question. You

understand that?

Now, the question I'm asking is, where's Louis Chama?

I don't know him.

Lamar?

I came here to hunt Chama, not kill people in cold blood.

I told you once before I don't have time for court hearings.

If these people want to fight me, then I'll blow them straight to hell.

Let me ask you something.

You know a man named Louis Chamer?

I know him.

You see him lately?

No. When was the last time?

About a week ago.

Are you a friend of his?

I see him when he goes by here.

Like on his way to Arroyo Blanco?

Now you know where that is.

It's over the pass, but I don't think he lives there anymore.

Well, honey, we're friends of his. If he's around here, we just want to stop

in and say hello.

Is that why you have all those guns?

Well, this is a hunting trip, sweetheart. You gotta have guns.

Why don't you ask her how come she's got so many guns, huh? They belong to my

father and my brother.

Where are they?

They went to see a man about work. I don't know when they come back.

Leave you out here all by yourself, do they?

I don't mind being alone for a few days.

Pretty girl like you shouldn't be left alone.

Maybe we ought to camp out here tonight if she was to invite us.

What's your name, honey?

Helen Sanchez.

Helen? Well, what would you think if we stayed out here with you tonight?

I think you're going to do whatever you want.

They'd like some more coffee.

Have you told them yet?

Nope.

Why not?

I didn't figure it was any of their business, really.

But you are with them.

Well, let's just say that I made a poor judgment, but I'm gonna have to live

with it for a while.

When I was in jail there in town, there was a man named Nako.

He died two days ago.

He shouldn't have come at me. I didn't want him to.

But you want Shama, so you join them.

Everybody wants Shama.

Either they can get shot or hanged. I think he realized that now.

There's some people who will give their lives for what they believe.

You understand that?

I guess so, if they want something bad enough.

No, no, no. Even if there's no chance but to do it for others, like a soldier

gets his life.

You don't know Luis Chama.

Maybe you never met anybody like him.

Maybe not.

Were you with him when he came by my place?

Yes, I was there.

He went to kill me, too.

There was a man named Emilio who was with my horses.

I remember him.

Ramon went back to see if he was following us.

Ramon, huh?

Next stop, Bondara Station.

Isn't anything there but stockpiles?

I bet.

All those guns to kill one man.

Yeah, if they find him.

Thank you.

Call everybody out in the street.

All right, everybody out.

Everybody out in the street.

Hold your fire.

You're way up in those rocks.

Good morning, Padre.

I want you to call all your people out here. We're going to hold services here

in the street.

Bring them out!

Bring them out in the street!

I don't want to take up much of your time.

I just want to say that we're going to shoot five of you if Luis Chema don't

come down off his mountain by sunup tomorrow morning.

If he don't show by noon, we shoot five more.

Still doesn't show up by suppertime, we put five more against that wall.

Now the next day we have to, we'll start All over again.

Son.

Hablo usted ingles?

Si.

Do you have a horse?

I have a horse.

I want you to get on your horse and go upstairs there and ask Louis Chamber if

he heard what I said in case he didn't understand me.

Comprende? Si, senor.

Padre, get them all inside the church.

Vamos a la iglesia.

Now repeat the whole sermon in case any of them American

citizens don't understand English.

Stay catch him in, LJ.

Put the horses down the other end of town. Leave the saddles on.

Me and the little girl are bunking here.

Kid, you're fired. Take his gun, Mingo.

Put him in the church.

Look at him.

Without his gun he looks like a big dumb farm boy.

Go ahead farm boy.

Take your pick.

I know it's a crappy deal, buddy.

But that's all you got.

What's the matter, you run out of nerve?

Go ahead.

Make a grab.

Because I'm going to blow your head off.

I said make a grab.

That boy don't ever learn.

Well, the fun's over and he's gone to church.

Are you thirsty?

What do you have here?

Holy water.

Just about everything else. I might go and have some holy water.

Today is the feast of St. James the Apostle, one of the first martyrs.

I will tell the people, pray to him for his strength and courage.

St. James was beheaded rather than deny his faith.

You wouldn't have a gun around here, would you, Padre?

Good time of day, LJ.

Day's work's done, man's waiting on a good supper.

Open the door, Mick.

What about these people? You gonna feed them?

Feed them.

Troy, let him get some food for these people in here.

Señora.

Señora.

Dele comida para la gente.

Hey, Lamar.

How you feeling?

That medicine easing the pain, ain't it?

You just keep talking.

You're spitting teeth all night.

Half-price waiter you got there, Roy.

You gonna eat all that?

It's bloody glutton, now, son.

Oh, yeah.

How's he treating you?

We're going to get married.

What the hell do you think?

Ain't got any chance to have a loaded gun around here I could use, would he?

Don't do anything foolish. Wait for Luis.

I've been wondering about that. The boy they sent out, he seems to be having

trouble finding his way back.

He's probably still hunting for Shama.

You think so?

Luis is up there. He knows and he'll come.

With a gun, without one, but he'll come.

I certainly do hope so.

If he doesn't, he's gonna disappoint an awful lot of people.

You don't blink soon, your eyeballs will fall out.

Hey, how about somebody else coming up here for a while?

You want to take that, Lamar?

Let's get up here.

When this is over, we finish it.

From the table where they put the guns.

I don't even know if it fires.

Oh, worry, it fires.

I have lived here with my people 33 years.

And this morning, I can't look in their faces.

I can't bless five of them and send them outside.

We'll see.

He's dead.

I believe you.

Send up his gun and hat, will you?

Don't you fall asleep up there. Why don't you go screw yourself?

Oh, that sweet boy's fallen asleep or either he's fallen off the tower.

I'll let him alone. He's had a bad night.

Thank you.

Okay, let's get five of them out here. Come on.

I want Chambers to see the facts of life staring him in the face.

We can do some good!

Get in there!

Now that's not much of a shot for you, is it, Lingo?

Where you hit him?

So I'll pick a spot.

First man, second button.

There's six bits, but you gotta hit the button.

For six bits, I'll hit the second button on both men.

Shoot to him, right now.

How you doing?

Don't touch it.

You would have let them kill those people.

I'm going to tell you something and you must listen and try and understand.

If our people are killed for what we are doing, they will become names. They will

live forever.

Martyrs. I think we have enough of them already.

Then why do you want me to become one?

Listen.

We only win if I stay alive.

If those men kill me now, who will take my place?

You understand?

You let people die for you. For themselves.

For what they believe.

They believe in you.

I am telling you how it is.

There is no other way.

I know another way.

Come with me back to Sonola, give yourself up, take your chances in court.

Stay out of it.

You brought me into it when you stole my horses and barbwired my man.

And you killed one of ours.

So you help her. Now we are even.

Go home while you can.

Luis, he is right.

We must give ourselves up, don't you see? There is no other way.

I do not care what you think.

I take you along for cold nights and days when there is nothing to do.

Not to hear you talk.

You want Chava?

Just like that, huh?

Straight up or draped over the saddle, either one.

And what about my men?

I don't much care about them.

They can come along or stay, whatever pleases them.

Listen to this anglo, son of a bitch.

Luis, say it.

We throw him off the cliff.

Ramón, Ramón, no te metes en esto.

Bien que este no es su lugar.

All right.

This isn't the time. We will settle this later.

Vámonos con él.

Pero quién sabe hasta dónde.

Does the train stop here, Mr. Harlow?

It'll stop, L.J.

Don't shoot, it's too far.

It's a bird.

There'll be 11.

Hi.

Hey, little girl.

Any person get a chance to breathe?

I'll get you breathing again so you're never gonna stop.

You missed me.

Of course I did. Did you?

Yes. Stayed right here in the room like I told you. I sure did. Like hell you

did. I did too.

Mr. Harlan?

Ma'am?

How was your hunting trip?

Mitchell, how you been? Just fine.

Listen, someone's gonna bring Louis Chamey in probably tomorrow, and I want

you to hand him over to me, you understand?

What'd you say?

I want you to hand him over to me.

Mr. Harlan ain't no... Why don't you take a few days off, go get drunk

somewhere? Mr. Harlan, I told you... Mitchell, tomorrow's Sunday. Now, why

don't you go to church and pray that I don't see you again till this is done?

Little girl found some whiskey. Pour me a drink.

Let's open up. You're open.

All right, I say Chama goes to jail, pleads his case.

What do you say?

Not you, Ramon.

Ramon? Lead off.

I think we might be too close.

Come on in, kid.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Hey, kid.

Bring Tom over here.

Come on in, kid.

Got a prisoner for you.

Jesus, Joe.

Here, give me some cover. Start with the hotel.

Bob, get out of here.

Good luck, huh?

Well, that settles that.

Anything I can do for you, Joe?

Joe, you shouldn't have done that.

Next time, I'll knock your damn head off.
