Original subtitles

He's no bandit, he's a gringo, and he's here by mistake, right?

Right?

Bastard.

Juan...

All the ladies loved you...

And all the men on both sides of the border hated you.

What are you doing there?

Move it, animal!

Come with me.

No, John! Where are you going?

Wait there... Wait.

He's tired.

Hello, Father. Nice day, isn't it?

Come on, Father, let's not waste time. -The witnesses?

Do you want to say something? -No, nothing, Father.

Will you hurry up, Father?

I understand, Buck, you're in a hurry...

Very well.

Do you Gertrude O'Connel, according to the rite of our holy mother, the Church...

Take, John Donald, here present, as your lawful husband?

Yes, I do.

And you, John Donald...

Do you take, here present, Gertrude O'Connel...

According to the rite of our holy mother, the Church, as your lawful wife?

Listen, Father...

I think Gertrude's a magnificent lady, and I'm sure she'd make any man happy...

But I can't stomach her relatives, with those faces...

And for this reason, I'm obliged to say...

No.

I'll teach you to fool around with my niece.

Wait a minute, I want to tell you a secret...

Making love is a natural act, there's nothing...

Worth more than a beautiful woman.

Have you ever tried?

You should. You're old enough.

Watch what you say or I'll... -No, that wouldn't be wise.

You need me alive. Gertie needs a husband...

I can aways change my mind.

Who'll take her if I die?

John.

Take it.

Hurry. Before they notice.

If you want to help me, don't give it to me, give it to them...

Give them all the beer you have. Understand?

Yes.

You know what I'm going to do to you if you don't change your mind?

I'll hang you from a beam in the barn, so help me God.

Okay, Donald...

That's your name, isn't it? John Donald.

But isn't Donald your mother's name?

Cut it out, Buck, that's none of your business.

I see it upsets you, John? What is your father's name?

You don't know, do you? -Just you dare, I'll kill you!

Sure, I dare...

You're a bastard, that's why you do what you do.

Dirty bastard.

You know what they call our groom in the whorehoues in Texas?

'John the bastard'

The bastard!

Enough. Enough!

You shouldn't have done that.

You got married today, Buck...

Your bride dressed in black... Look at her!

She's there behind you, waiting. Look at her!

She's your death!

No. They'll kill him.

Be quiet...

Don't scream, or I'll break your neck.

What were you saying? -I want to save him as well...

But if you start shooting, they'll kill him...

Don't you get it?

Yes, yes...

But he's the brains, I'm just the muscle...

And I get in trouble if he's not around.

Now I'm going to charge in there... -No!

Please, wait.

Here you are. What shall I do? Kill them?

Untie me, you idiot.

Stop, imbecile. You need the key...

The old man keeps it in his pocket.

Where are you going?

Not you. Find the girl for me.

There you are. Come closer.

You did well to make them drink. Good.

Let your hair down, you'll look a lot better.

My sisters don't want me to.

They're jealous, you're more beautiful than them.

Go on, let your hair down.

You really are a woman.

You wouldn't want to leave me here, so those drunkards can hang me.

Get the key from the old man.

Linda, be careful.

Idiot.

You let him get away.

Gertie! Come here.

Linda's not here. She's gone.

Wake up you fool.

To your horses. Take the rifles.

Wake up. I'll kill you.

Move it.

They're down there. -That's them.

Let's go.

Faster.

Be careful.

I can't see them anymore.

Get to work! Come on.

Hurry.

That way.

You stay here.

Protect the girl. -Yes, I'll take care of her.

But they'll kill him. -Quiet, if you don't want him to die.

Ronan.

Patrick.

Buck. I'm over here.

Come and get me.

Damned bastard.

Come on, let's go.

Hold it right there.

Drop the rifles.

You'll pay for this. Bastard!

Help. Save me!

I can't see anything. Help!

You're the only one left. You lead them to their death.

Look at your brothers, Buck. Look at them!

Is that you Buck? Who are you?

Who are you? -Relax.

I'm not going to kill you. -You're John!

Damn it.

Buck, where are you?

This pig's doesn't have any bullets...

Buck, they're soaked.

Come here and kill him. I've got his pistol.

It won't shoot. The bullets are wet.

Wet! -Shut up or I'll strangle you.

I'll show you.

Let's go, Linda.

I have no one now...

No one. -Look at me.

Who are you?

I don't know you.

You're a murderer. Let go of me.

Let go of me!

Let go. I want to die!

Stay where you are. Don't be afraid, friend.

I just want to warm up a little.

Who are you?

A hunted hunter.

Are you a Mormon?

A friend of theirs.

Then you're a Mormon killer.

A Danite, a member of the secret Danite sect.

If it's a secret, I can't answer you.

May I?

Magnificent.

It's the first time I've seen one.

They say you can't miss with it.

These don't miss.

The government troops are persecuting my Mormon friends...

And I have a lot of work to do. -Against the United States army?

Against anyone who crosses the Mormons.

A strange war, friend.

I didn't ask for it.

Goodbye.

May the Lord's angels in Zion watch over you...

Until the triumph of the final day.

What a face!

Sends shivers down my spine.

Luckily, she's asleep.

I'm tired, you keep guard. -Sure, do you want a quilt?

Hers is enough.

Sorry, boss.

There are no bosses, I told you a thousand times.

When will you quit calling me that?

Well, Stonehead? -When I'm reborn, perhaps.

This time it went like that, I was born a servant.

Little one. -John.

Come on, enough now.

Wipe away those tears. Please, do it for me.

Eyes that beautiful weren't made for crying...

But for smiling. For smiling at men.

I like it when you talk like that.

Like a woman. -But you are a woman...

A beautiful woman. -Why did you kill them, John?

It's my fault. -No, Linda, it's destiny.

Look at the stars.

Our destiny is written up there.

Can you read it? What does it say?

It says that my hand is about to take yours...

That my mouth is about to rest on yours.

It says, tonight, little Linda will become a woman.

My woman.

No, I can't believe it. It's what I've always dreamt of...

I've always loved you, John, always! -I'd noticed you, too, little one...

But I didn't dare.

I like being a woman.

Yes, I like it!

How long will it take to try them all on? -I don't know, how long would a lady take?

A lady?

Probably all day.

Let me pass, drunkards, or I'll run you over.

Ready to leave?

Nice piece of gold. Thank you, sir.

I reserved the best seat for the lady. Hurry up, slaves!

Get that luggage onboard. And tie it properly...

There's enough rope there to hang yourselves.

I'm sorry, lady, but those scoundrels only listen to my whip.

If you'll follow me, please.

Beautiful.

Sorry, lady, it's my character.

I'm going to get my money from the bank and I'll be right back.

Don't worry, I won't leave without you.

I hope you'll use our bank again, we'd be honoured.

But don't forget what I told you, Don Francisco.

Don't worry about me...

I never travel alone.

Goodbye. -Good luck.

I'll be with you in a minute.

I'll keep this. -Thief! Let go.

Dirty coward. How dare you!

Rosaria.

Some guy's following us. -Who is he?

The pretty lady's husband?

I don't think so. Some lunatic trying to be a hero.

I'll take care of him.

Try to stop the horses. Hurry!

I can't do it. It's impossible.

Please, lady, you can come out now...

It's all over now.

So you denied me the honour of saving my wife's life...

I could almost consider that an insult.

But I'm joking, of course.

But my gratitude is worth more than a gram of silver, John...?

John, what?

John... John Donald.

John Donald, you know we own a lot of the silver mines in Mexico.

Very interesting.

Take it...

This way you'll remember to visit our kingdom in Mexico.

You must promise you'll come. Right, Antonia?

I'm certain Mr. Donald won't turn down your invitation.

And your invitiation, lady.

I thought I might offer you some cash...

Perhaps it's better than a lot of compliments?

A price for Don Antonia's life? How much? Let's hear it.

Look at the initials...

Don't forget them.

The royal residence of Don Diego Tenorio...

My revered father.

Tenorio! -You've heard of us.

I'm not surprised...

Our property is a kingdom.

Silver, cattle, land, slaves...

Yes, peones... Slaves, like your Negroes.

It's a real kingdom. My kingdom!

Is your father still alive? -Why certainly...

He's in fine health. Isn't that true, Antonia?

I'll introduce you to him, Mr... Yes... Mr. Donald.

See, I remembered.

Take the money. Go on.

You might need it.

Listen here, fool, only my mother knows the truth...

This time she has to tell me! Understood?

No.

You're drunk. I'm wasting my breath with you.

You aren't John.

Listen...

You can't go to your mother, have you forgotten what you did?

She hates you. She'll poison your soup.

Out of my way. -Who do you think you are?

A bastard.

A solid gold bastard.

And the gold is down there, in Mexico...

Gold, silver, and blood.

That kingdom shall be mine, and my mother holds the key.

Goodbye, Stonehead.

What about Linda?

Tell her John the bastard will never forget her...

Goodbye.

I'll give you a kiss.

Pig.

Where's John? Has he gone?

I knew it. John's gone.

Don't cry.

What do you want?

Don't touch me, you filthy animal...

I don't need you, I don't need anyone.

Go away.

Go away.

Stop, you idiot. Do you want to cripple me for life?

I can't do it. Think of something else.

You're crazy.

Sarah.

Sarah. Something terrible, Sarah...

John's returned home.

There's no home for John here, I have no children.

Don't say that. He's wounded.

He was shot in the leg.

Have you bandaged it, at least?

I was... You know we can't do it.

If you don't come.

I can't stand the sight of blood. I can't.

Stupid old maid...

I can see you've never given birth.

So you came back.

You swore you wouldn't set foot in here again.

Well? -I was in the area.

Mother, tell me, was I a handsome boy?

What's got into you?

Sure you were handsome.

I was heading for a village in the south...

But it's probably better this way.

I'm not the married type.

No, it obviously wasn't meant to be.

What the hell are you talking about?

You'd like that, wouldn't you. To have nephews.

But why should I marry?

You rogue.

I'm not to blame. -Then who is?

They're the ones who provoke me and fall into my arms.

But this one's stubborn.

Her name's...

...Antonia.

She's a farmer's daughter, with a lot of land.

But I don't see why I should feel tied down.

And be forced to be a farmer as well?

Can you see me with a rake in my hand?

Can you see it?

I just don't believe you anymore, John.

There must be something. A document or a memento, at least.

A woman can't have a child with someone and not keep anything to remind her.

Don't the aunts say anything?

They're scared of my mother. One of them told me a name, once...

Tenorio, she said. A Mexican...

Who died before they could marry.

But it might also be a lie.

What if it's the truth?

Stonehead, that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out.

I didn't hear you come in.

You're looking better. You're not limping anymore, either.

No, I'm cured.

And I'm getting ready to leave.

I'm just getting in the way. Where are the aunties?

In the fields.

You've been good to me, mother.

Even if I didn't really deserve it. I know I've been a bad son.

John... -No, it's the truth.

I never appreciated what you did, I didn't understand your sacrifices.

But now...

Now that we're alone...

Here.

I sweated to earn it, and I wish it were more...

But it's not easy when you're honest. Take it.

But it's too much.

You can't. It's too much, I don't know...

You really have changed John.

Why don't you stay here?

Or do you want to go to that woman?

Does that woman really exist?

Antonia... Of course she exists!

And I like her.

I like her a lot...

More than all the others.

I want you to do one thing with this money...

Keep it for yourself.

I'm sure if the aunties see it... Listen to me.

Hide it before they return home.

Thank you, son.

What are you doing, John? Leaving already?

Have you decided?

You kept this hidden from me.

Why?

I want to know everything.

His name was Don Diego, right?

Don Diego Tenorio was my father. Answer me!

I asked you a question. -You're a devil!

But how did you do it?

You're scared.

That's why you never told me.

Because you wanted to protect him from me.

You still love him.

You love him, but not your bastard son!

Witch.

Don't go, let me explain. -There's nothing to explain...

This bastard will have his revenge! Go away.

Mexico.

For what? For the money?

The honour?

A name that's due to me.

But what use is a different name?

You called me, John? -No.

Go back to sleep, Stonehead.

These Mormons...

They're dangerous because they're organised.

They're all fanatics.

Fanatics because they can have as many wives as they please?

Doesn't seem so bad to me.

From this point of view, I agree with them.

Isn't there a bit of Mormon in you? -I prefer to hunt Indians...

Rather than chase those fanatics. We even have to defend them...

There are people around who'd like to hang the lot of them...

Violent gangs that won't tolerate their ways.

The handcuffs. Hurry.

Now.

Damn it. Brake... Brake!

Look outside. They'll hang you.

They're coming.

We're done for! -Quick, follow me.

Go with him, leave me here. -No, never.

That's an order. -Come on, let's go.

Just a moment, friend...

You're not one of us and I don't know why you're helping us...

But promise me you'll take them to Mexico...

Our camp is nearby. Promise!

Okay, I promise. Die in peace.

I'll get them to Mexico.

The woman, at least.

Where are you going? Stop.

Grab their masks. Quick, get down.

Go, quick. I'll take care of these.

Search the train. Don't let those pigs get away.

Hey, chief...

There's a woman with them, I can't shoot a woman!

I give the orders around here, do as I say or...

Calm down, guys. I had to defend myself, you all saw it.

They've escaped. Come here.

No, the other way. I saw them, they can't get away.

The encampment is burning.

Looks like they got there before us.

Let's try at least.

Friends, let's not waste time. In the name of God, we'll do our duty...

And let's return home.

They'll kill us all!

I can't marry you anymore, Edith. -No, James!

God bless you!

Now, God up there, will protect us.

It's God's will.

I don't even know your name.

He called me Edith, before he died...

'My Edith'.

Crying won't help, it's destiny.

Can't you see how much he's suffering? -No, no...

He can be cured. It's my horse and I love it.

You injured it on purpose, you never wanted to come to Mexico...

What is it? Are you scared?

I'm scared of you, of what you're planning.

What are you going to do in Mexico? Let's go back.

Listen to me for once.

Stay here if you like...

Sooner or later you'll come running back to me like a puppy.

Goodbye, animal.

Yes...

But animals know the smell of death.

And I don't want to see you dead, John.

I don't want to! You stubborn fool.

There are caves up there, we'd better have a look.

I wish I had my dog here...

One whistle and he'd sniff out those pigs.

Let's go.

They're getting closer.

They must have found the wagon or another trail...

That's why they're looking around here.

Keep looking.

It's hot in here.

I found something.

What have you found? -The sweetest raspberries!

Judy's up there. -She already knows what love is...

I want to know!

I love John... And you?

He's not one of us, he can only love one woman.

No, that's not true, I asked him.

And what did he say? -He said no...

He said he loves all women.

And then he added, that you're a strong woman...

Courageous... -I don't believe you.

You're a good girl, Edith, but...

The mild mannered despise all women...

Even their own wives.

I'll go and ask him, I have to know.

Here, jewellery, money, everything we have.

Good, I'm one of you. I'll be your leader...

And I'll take care of you.

You must promise, on the Mormon bible.

That you're one of us.

I promised on the train, to Young, the saint.

But it's a promise for life.

I think I have the right to choose a wife now, don't I?

A second wife. You already chose Edith.

I don't know, Judy, how many can I have? Three?

Ten?

Or all of you? How many of you are there?

Then choose me.

What's on your mind, John?

I was thinking, that we're already in Mexico...

Finally.

Go back to sleep... Wife.

Him.

Laugh.

Him.

Laugh as well. Were you there?

Yes, sir, I was there.

Him.

And then? What will happen to those poor devils, Don Francisco?

John Donald. The American.

What a pleasant surprise, friend.

A magnificent occasion to see our country.

Whoever wasn't involved, go home. For the others, you have your orders.

You see, our country is very hot...

A pistolero isn't enough.

They need us. The central government is weak...

But we're strong.

It's all ready, Don Francisco. -Good, a nice, regular, trial...

With a regular noose around their necks, naturally.

You can come with me, I still haven't finished my rounds.

I need to show myself around, after what happened.

And I still have to dish out some punishment.

But you've been on a long journey, and the sun isn't good for you Americans.

I also have some Mexican blood in me. -Really? You never told me...

Naturally, you'll be my guest, besides there aren't any hotels here.

Take him to the villa. Right away.

This gentleman is very good with a gun...

Treat him with the greatest respect. -Because he's your friend, sure.

Yes, but I'm not scared of American pistols, gringo.

Did he ask you to come?

Why do you care? I have my own reason for being here...

For something that happened a long time ago.

We're loyal people. You remember that kid who was laughing?

They're going to kill him. Do you know who he is?

I have no idea. -Look at me.

Your brother? -That's right!

One on each side, shooting at each other.

It's your turn.

Do you think blood counts for a lot?

I mean the blood bond between brothers.

No, I don't think it does.

Sometimes, yes. And other times, no.

Nada. Nothing.

We're almost there.

The Tenorio estate.

It's become a fortress, there are wells inside.

The locals wanted to burn it down, so they could be free do drink.

A really stupid idea by those poor workers.

Where is the old man? Yes, Don Diego Tenorio.

The master, sir? He doesn't live here anymore.

And your master? -Forgive me, I was forgetting...

She's very nervous. She says she's busy today.

Where is Don Diego?

I haven't heard from him for quite a while.

He's up at San Felipe de Jesus.

He's dead? -No!

San Felipe is a convent. A gentleman is always a gentleman...

Even in a convent.

It's like a palace. -Yes, of course.

You may go, Firmina.

One moment, Firmina...

Take the tray away. -I don't mean to disturb...

I'm leaving immediately. -Sure, Firmina told me...

You're very busy today.

I'm not used to the company of pistoleros employed by my husband.

Me, a pistolero... Who told you that?

Ilario? I suspect he might be jealous of me.

You forget I've seen you shoot. You're a professional.

I'm sure I'm not mistaken.

There's a big difference between a man who shoots to defend a beautiful lady...

And a professional. -What difference?

A pistolero has his price. -Aren't you here to get paid?

It's a magnificent place, steel all around...

The mines... The labourers who die like slaves.

It's a good price to pay...

The price a coward must pay to buy the graces of a beautiful woman.

But women from good stock are like wild horses...

You can't just give them away.

And sooner or later Don Francisco is going to notice.

You are my husband's guest...

Unfortunately my husband won't be back tonight.

I can only offer your horse our hospitality...

I adore pedigree horses.

Are you telling me to leave or do I have to ask the servants to put me up?

I'll leave that decision to you.

Do you think I came all the way here to play games with you, stupid Mexican?

Go back to your room, when I need you I'll come looking for you.

I'll see you on your knees, in front of me...

And I'll enjoy it, pistolero.

You shouldn't have done that, American. They'll kill you...

With the whip! Go!

You don't know what they're like.

Pick it up.

Pick it up.

I got it wrong, sir...

You're a master, not a servant.

Do you want to know who I really am?

I'm John the bastard. That's the truth.

Go on, say it.

John the bastard.

You're very young. You'd better leave.

Hey, open up. -It's you.

I have orders not to open for anyone, you know that.

I have a message from the master, for the lady... Look.

Okay.

Ilario.

Earn your money, to the last, gringo.

Very brave, thank you!

He certainly didn't come alone.

It's Ilario, he killed him. What now?

Go back to your homes, or you'll all end up like Ilario.

Stay where you are, Antonia.

You're so beautiful.

I don't want to touch you.

Undress yourself.

It takes courage, pride... for a beautiful woman.

It's much harder than facing a dagger...

But it's also much nicer.

Get undressed, Antonia.

Francisco isn't worthy of you... And you want me.

That's John's colt, I know it well.

No need to reply, I understand. Thanks all the same.

Don't make any noise.

Get out of here!

I'll take care of them, John. Don't worry.

He's my guardian angel.

We're lucky tonight.

You're beautiful.

Yes, an American, John the bastard...

God damn him.

Amen.

Wait a minute, John. What are you doing?

Looking for trouble? You got the lady.

It's too dangerous.

Shut up, John isn't self-righteous. That's what you don't understand.

It's good to see you again, but don't push it.

But last night... -"But last night..."

"If I wasn't there!" Listen, you know the way back.

If it wasn't for me, yesterday... -Yesterday, yesterday!

But today, tomorrow, as long as I'm alive...

I don't want to hear your stupid rambling anymore.

Maybe I am stupid...

But I understand when you say it how it is...

You should've told me earlier...

That I upset you.

That your highness won't stand for my ignorance.

But sometimes even a fool...

You're right, I'm stupid.

Stupid! -Wait.

Wait a minute.

You changed your mind? -Let's shake hands, at least.

Hands?

You want to lower yourself, and shake my hand?

Your excellency!

It's better this way, Emilio.

We'll meet again in Hell...

If our guardian angels let us in.

Yes, I remember...

Yes, of course.

But it's such an unbelievable story.

But not for you, Father.

Sarah, yes...

Sarah Donald.

She was very beautiful.

I'm certain everything you've told me is the truth...

Yes, I feel it.

It's a gift from God. Another son...

And better than the other one, perhaps.

You know why I'm here?

My son, Francisco, your brother...

Your brother is capable of anything.

I was scared. Scared to sleep in my own bed.

In my home.

He was impatient to collect his inheritance...

And he forced you out. -His inheritance?

No, I'm still alive!

And you're here now. With the same rights he has, John...

Don Juan.

Yes, Don Juan Tenorio.

Don Giovanni.

It sounds magnificent.

But you'll have to earn your name, kid.

Are you up to the task? -You're quick to give orders.

I like you, John.

You're my brother-in-law. And now, how can I live...

You, my brother-in-law! No.

But you knew the truth, how could you...?

It's all a plot against me. That bastard coming into my home...

And into the arms of his father.

What are you talking about? He's my own flesh and blood.

You don't want to relinquish your power, that's what drives you, not your sons...

It's the only thing you've ever loved. -No...

I only want peace. -In the meantime you're lighting a fire!

But be careful!

My dear brother...

You're not foolish enough to believe the old man's stories...

I'm in charge here.

If you start listening to me you might reap some benefits...

But if you persist with this charade, I'll crush you.

You hear that, dear sister-in-law, another lesson on the subject of honour.

Do you know what he's up to?

Why? You don't? He just wants revenge.

Revenge for being born a bastard. A reject!

To take revenge against all of us.

My dear friends... If you'll allow me to call you that.

I toast to the honour of finding myself among you.

For many years, hard years..

I fought against all those who called me a bastard...

I have killed for the honour.

A bastard's honour; a mean and violent emotion, mine.

Compared to your high sense of honour.

You pass down from generation to generation.

And now that you've accepted me, I must choose between my old code of honour...

And yours.

Dear friends, I've decided...

I toast to my honour.

That of love and hate.

I drink to those few among you who are able to comprehend...

...what real love is, and real hate.

To you, my beautiful Antonia.

I've had the good fortune of saving your life twice.

And now that we're relatives...

We have to honour ourselves...

By telling these folks...

That we've dishonoured their old ideas.

Yes, in favour of our true feelings.

We must tell everyone, with joy, Antonia...

That we loved each other.

And, loving each other...

We gave ourselves the greatest honour.

To love.

You'll pay dearly for this insult. Brother!

Okay, we'll fight according to the rules...

To save the family honour.

Where has Antonia gone?

Are you happy now? With what you achieved...

Crazy old man.

If you want to fight, then let's do it with our fists.

Here's my pistol.

You can kill me if you want.

Come out.

I haven't seen your pistol.

Here I am.

You killed Antonia. And I thought you were honourable.

A bastard's honour.

I have no qualms about killing you like this.

You invited yourself into my home, you dishonoured me...

With your scheming and lies.

You destroyed our lives to satisfy your pathetic thirst for revenge.

At least I'll have the pleasure of killing you like a dog.

We met before, friend. What are you doing here?

I'm here for you. You betrayed our faith.

Which faith?

Yes... The Mormons.

You wouldn't want to kill an unarmed man, would you?

I'll let him decide.

Him? A stone statue.

Walk forward.

Stop there.

And pray, if you know how to.

Pray. Me?

Finally.

Emilio.

What are you doing there, Stonehead? Move it, I'm tired of waiting for you.

Get up and let's go.

Wait for me.
