All language subtitles for (1965)ApacheU

Still getting even
for the Tucson massacre...

Man, woman, two kids, even
the poor old hound dog.

Well,
all we can do for them now is bury them.

Come on, bill.

Fools! Jug-headed fools!

Coming out into apache country

Like they was taking a ride

Down a city street back east.

Never learn till they're dead,

Then it makes
no never-mind.

Bill.

Just saw the sun glint
off a rifle barrel

On that Ridge over there.

Let's mosey on over
to the horses,

Like nothing is up...

Nice and easy like.

Hyah!
Hyah!

Tontos... the worst kind.

Mean as they come.

Yeah. I've seen them
take a man,

Cut his feet,
and make him walk on cactus.

That's really before they
begin to torture him.

Come on! You think
you can take us?

It looks like they heard you.

They get any closer,
they'll be in our laps.

All right... Now!

That's funny.

I never saw an apache
give up that easy before.

Something besides us
made them hightail it.

What are you doing?

Making sure they're dead.

Well, that one wasn't.

He is now.

Apaches, all right.

That ain't all.

Fifth cavalry
from fort crittenden.

No telling when he got it.

Those buckos must have
been moving pretty fast

To get this far South.

Looks like they're working
their way toward apache Wells.

You figure to get
to apache Wells

Before the rest
of these critters?

Well, we can sure try.

Hey, Jim,
take a look over there.

That ain't Indians
making that dust.

It's a detachment of cavalry.

You want to know why
them apaches lit out?

There's your answer.

The chances are they're
headed for apache Wells.

Think you can put up
with them for that long?

Can you?

I can try.

Halt!

What do you think, captain?

They could be hostiles.

Hard telling
in country like this.

Howdy.

Howdy.

We're mighty glad to see you.

Getting to be touch and go.

I'm captain gannon on patrol

Between fort rocklen
and apache Wells.

What are you talking about,
touch and go?

We were bushwhacked by apaches.

Must have seen you coming
and they took off.

Didn't you hear the shooting?

That's hard to believe.

We've been riding four days.

Seen nothing, heard nothing.

Well, about an hour's ride
west of here,

You'll find
a burned-out wagon,

A common grave,
and some dead apaches.

You call that nothing?

Come on, Jim, let's go.

Where would that be?

Lordsburg.

Since you're headed
for apache Wells,

We thought we might
tag along with you that far.

That is, if you don't mind.

Just who are you?

My name's Walker, Jim Walker.

This is bill Gibson.

I'd like to give you two
a little warning.

Just don't try
to panic the settlers

With tales of uprising,
unless you have ample proof.

Is this proof enough?

Go ahead, open it.

Take a look, sergeant.

It's Indian scalp, captain,

Wrapped in a trooper's shirt.

Where did you find it?

I didn't find it.

Took it off one of the
apaches that jumped us.

He was wearing this.

"C troop, fifth cavalry."

Fort crittenden.

Mount up, sergeant.

We're pulling out immediately.

Now, don't tell me
we spooked you, captain.

You two fall in
at the rear of the column.

I'll want a full report
of your activities

After we reach camp tonight.

Forward, ho!

Well, all of a sudden
they just took off.

I guess they must have
seen you coming.

Seems like the army's always
nearby but never there.

Now, bill.

Well, I mean it.

They're never there
when you need them.

Just what does that mean?

Just like everything
about the army.

That's what I mean,
captain gannon.

Mr. Walker, how long
have you been riding

With that renegade?

He's not a renegade,
he's a friend.

If he seems put out with the army,
he's got his reasons.

Hmm, I can imagine.

No, I don't think you can.

Bill was married to the
daughter of a hopi chief.

Squaw man.

Yeah, I guess
you could call him that.

Same as you can call colonel
j.M. Chivington army.

You recall chivington's
raid, don't you, captain?

Chivington went too far.

He took things
into his own hands,

But there was a court martial.

Yes, but that was
after he killed

A peaceful band of Indians,

Mostly squaws and children.

Bill's wife and two kids
were among the victims.

You've killed Indians,
haven't you, Walker?

Yes. To protect my life
and property,

But never like that.

Good night, captain.

Walker...

Were you ever in the army?

I rode with hood.

I had you figured as a reb.

Well, that's all
behind us, captain.

I fight no wars to a lost cause.

So far, we only
have your word on it.

Could be you have
some kind of grudge

Against the Indians

And want the army to
do something about it.

It has happened
before, you know.

Maybe, but not by me.

My chief scout
is joining us tomorrow.

He's been riding the
territory for two days.

I'll reserve my judgment
until then.

Well, captain, if he's
worth his salt...

He'll tell you
that the Indian war

Has spilled over
into this country.

I'll deal with them
when they come.

I've fought sioux
and Cheyenne before.

I don't think the apache
will be much different.

Captain, about 100 years ago,

The great sioux came South
to make war with the apache.

And when it was over,

You could follow the
trail they took home

By the skeletons
of their warriors.

Now, that's what the sioux
knew about the apache.

You know what
the word apache means?

It means enemy,

A 24-hour-a-day enemy,

An enemy to anything
that walks on two legs...

Gringo, Mexican, or Indian.

Now you think that over,

And you get yourself
a good night's sleep,

Because you're going to need it

Before you get to apache Wells.

Good night.

Now wouldn't you think
vance could have picked

A better place to meet

Than this flea-bitten
barrio?

The last three days all
you've done is bellyache.

Why don't you quit
trying to second-guess

A man like vance Buckner?

He's ramrodding this outfit.

Bartender.

Boy, I'm dry as this dust.

Bring us a bottle.

None of that bar stuff,
something good.

A big fella with a scar
'cross his cheek

Check into the hotel yet?

Sure did.
Came in yesterday.

He's upstairs in room 6.

Friend of yours?

I just asked you if he was here.

What do you care
if he's a friend of mine?

I didn't mean anything, mister.

I was just making conversation.

Yeah?

Well, don't make none
with me, see?

All right, kid.
We don't need no trouble.

Henry didn't mean
anything by it.

He just likes to talk a lot.

Yeah? Then
you talk to him,

And keep your nose
out of my business.

You hear me now?

Come on, Toby.
That's enough.

I don't know what's
bothering you, Sonny.

I don't much care.

Henry, I'll talk to you later.

O.K., Hank.

All right, Sonny, on your feet.

You want some more?

Oh, no.

No, I had enough.

You beat me fair and square.

What do you say

We just forget about it
and have a drink, huh?

Why not?

I never let a fight

Stand in the way of a drink.

Kid, you could
get yourself killed

Stepping out of line.

This hombre put his hands on me.

Nobody can do that
and get away with it.

I'm going to tell you
something, vance.

You ain't bulletproof.

A slug can chop you down.

Someday I'm going
to get tired of your talk

And make you pull that gun.

That'll be
the last thing you'll do.

He didn't mean nothing, vance.

He's young. He'll learn.

He better,
or he won't get any older.

Get upstairs.

But, Mr. Buckner,

Who's going to pay
for the damage to my saloon?

I'll make it good.
Figure out the cost.

Get him tended to.

The kid stepped out of line.
That's all.

I'm standing drinks
for everybody.

Everybody at the bar
on the double!

You crazy, stupid killer.

Just had to start something,
didn't you?

I told you to keep him in line.

You know how he is
when he's mad.

He just goes crazy.

You breathe out of turn,
and you're dead.

Come on, vance, what's the deal?

$80,000.

Is that worth the trip here?

That's better
than $25,000 apiece.

20 for each of you.

I'm taking the first 40,000.

Any objections?

Yeah, I got one.

We get the short end
of the stick.

I'm taking half
for setting it up.

O.K. With me.
I got no kick.

Well?

Well, what's the job?

Noon stage to lordsburg,
tomorrow.

Since when did butterfield

Start making their
shipments common knowledge?

You know, he's a big man.

He knows everything.

Have I ever let you down yet?

That 80,000 will be there.

Now, between apache Wells
and lordsburg

Is the relay station.

Coach pulls in there.
They change horses.

Passengers get off,
eat, and rest.

That's when we make our move.

Are you saying we just
mosey in that way station

And tell them to reach?

I'm saying you two book passage

On that stage for lordsburg.

I'll be at the way station
waiting for you.

Now, when everyone's relaxing,

We hit them.

I don't know, vance.

That butterfield
don't spare anything

If somebody hits their line.

We'll be on every wanted poster

From Santa Fe to Cheyenne.

Not if there aren't
any witnesses left

To identify us.

You mean kill them all?

That's going pretty far, vance.

We don't even know how
many there'll be on board.

20 years in yuma prison
suit you better?

You getting soft, Jess?

No.

Not me.

Just slap leather
and watch them fall.

Killing's about the
easiest thing there is.

I'm leaving now,

So I can be at that way station

When that coach rolls in.

I gotcha.

It's up to you
to see he stays in line.

Don't you worry none.

Oh, I never worry
about anything.

You just sit down
and relax, kid.

You ain't going nowhere.

Well, you heard the man, Jess.

Take it easy.

We got a lot of fun ahead.

A lot of fun.

Whoa!

This is our chief scout
Archie whitewater.

Did you see anything?

I no say for sure.

I see mescal pots.

Don't know how long
they been there.

How far west you ride?

Day, day and a half.
No, two days.

And you didn't see
a burned-out wagon?

I told you.

I see mescal pots.

Nothing else.

No wagons.
No apache.

You must be blind

Or holed up somewhere
and slept all the while.

What you got to say now,
Mr. Walker?

The time to start worrying

Is when you don't see them.

We'll be ready for them
when they come.

Nobody's ever ready
for the apache.

They'll fight you
on their own terms.

When you and your men
are tired enough

And thirsty enough

And far enough
away from the fort,

That's when you'll find them.

They'll isolate the towns.

They'll lead you into an ambush.

You didn't learn that
at west point.

What do you know of that?

They've never written a
book worth a tinker's damn

On how to fight apaches.

That's a matter of opinion.

You'd better
change yours, gannon.

The apache can't read,

But he can sure kill you.

Sergeant, send two men
out on point.

Have them ride as flankers.

Yes, sir.

Yo, points out.

If our stage actually
leaves on time today,

Somebody's likely
to drop dead from surprise.

It'll leave at noon, all right,

But you got to understand,
Mr. Taylor,

Things ain't the same here

As they are
in St. Joe.

Here you always got
the danger of Indians,

Road agents,
lord knows what all.

Indians, road agents,
and a dozen other excuses.

I'm doing the best I can
under the circumstances.

It's a rough run.

I didn't become district manager

Offering excuses, jace.

I don't think our demands
are unreasonable.

But we ain't done too bad here.

We're getting most everything
through in good order.

Even the consignments
on gold and silver

Have been getting through

With nobody finding out.

Yes, sir, and don't forget,

We got the best driver

In the whole butterfield
organization,

Even if he is the orneriest.

You mean Charley Russell?

He's supposed to be here
now, isn't he?

Well, where is he?

It's this sort of thing I mean.

Yes, sir.
I'll... I'll speak to Charley.

I guess he's out hustling
up a fresh team.

Remember,
I'll be on the stage to lordsburg,

And my report will determine
a lot of things, jace.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, sir,
Mr. Taylor.

She'll leave on schedule,

Even if I have
to pull her myself.

Henry.

Oh, yes,
Mr. Taylor.

I'll be checking out
this morning.

Will you see to my luggage

And have it at the depot?

Yes, sir.
Sure will.

Mr. Taylor.

You're going to have another...

How shall I say it?

Passenger.

Oh, who?

Janice mackenzie, that's who.

Called herself Hopkins here.

Been working as a
bookkeeper in the bank,

But somebody found
out about her past,

And she's leaving town

On the noonday stage

By request.

Janice mackenzie.

Well,
no matter what they claim about her past,

She can ride butterfield,

Same as anyone else,

Long as she has the fare.

I wonder why she hid out

In a place like apache Wells.

Well,
she'll find nothing but contempt and scorn

In this territory.

Her reputation
goes ahead of her.

And lingers after.

I don't understand
why she bothers,

Unless she hopes to get
the mackenzie fortune

When the old woman finally dies.

Oh, well.
Her worry, not mine.

I'll take care your luggage.

Oh, Mrs. mackenzie?

Yes?

My name is Taylor.

I'm the district manager for
the butterfield stage lines.

I understand you're joining us

On the run to lordsburg.

That's right.

I'm sure it'll be
a pleasant journey.

Thank you.

Sheriff.

I... i want
a word with you.

Yes, ma'am, Mrs. hawkes.

Ladies.

What can I do for you
on this very fine day?

Your duty as sheriff, Ben hall,

That's what...

By seeing to it that that woman

Is on the noon stage
to lordsburg.

She's already been told,

But I kind of hated to do it.

Did I hear you right?

Best be watching our
tongue and doing our duty.

Do we make ourselves clear?

Of course.

Of course,
Mrs. hawkes,

But i... i didn't mean
nothing like that.

I'll see she gets out of town

Just as you say.

The sooner the better.

Come, ladies.

Aw, miserable old biddies.

Sheriff!
Sheriff, look!

Cavalry's coming in.

Look like they've been shot up.

Mr. Taylor!

Mr. Taylor!

I'm sheriff hall.

What happened?

Captain gannon,
fort rocklen patrol.

Do you have a doctor in town?

Some of my men
have been wounded.

Hey, Joe.

Yeah, sheriff.

Get them down
to Dr. Turner's office.

Tell me, captain,

What's been going on
around here?

Apaches ambushed us
20 Miles out.

Lost two men and my sergeant.

I'm hoyt Taylor,
district manager for butterfield.

We have a stage going
to lordsburg at noon.

Just because you ran
into Indians back there

Doesn't mean we'll
run into trouble ahead.

There'll be a heap
of trouble everywhere.

Captain, this stage
must leave for lordsburg.

You'll have to give us
an escort.

Not all the way.
Say, near the relay station.

We can make it
safely from there.

You can see our condition.

If you take that stage,

Do so at your own risk.

That stagecoach don't leave,

We're going to be
in a lot of trouble.

We'll lose a lot of money.

Yeah, but if them apaches
is on the warpath,

I don't aim to end up
toes up to the sun

With a Lance through my
gizzard for a tombstone.

For that kind of money,

I'd fight every apache
this side of hell.

Come on.

How many would you say, captain?

According to Mr. Walker
and his friend,

We're in the middle
of an apache uprising.

What you mean, captain?

What did this hombre say?

I said we were attacked
three times by apaches,

Including one attack
on a patrol.

That satisfy you, friend?

I think we're being

Kind of spooked by this drifter.

Now, I ain't saying
a few stray apaches

Didn't jump the soldier boys,

Meaning no disrespect
to you, captain.

We rode in last night.

Didn't see any Indians.

Could even be whites
made up like Indians.

Just like I figured.

Ain't nobody but fool renegades

All liquored up with firewater

Would be crazy enough
to attack the cavalry.

Sheriff, have you
had any warnings

On injuns on the move?

Why, no.

This is the first word
I've had of it.

Did you get
any of them, captain?

They caught us cold
coming through the pass.

We had to run for it.

Ain't nothing but buck
outlaws on a tear.

If you'll excuse me,

I'll see to my men,

Have the doctor
take a look at this.

Captain.

Mister...

You sure you telling
this thing right?

Maybe you just seen
a little old bunch of squaws

Ambling by and got scared.

I know an apache when I see one,

Especially when he's
trying to gut me open.

I don't think you know anything.

You seem to be
on the prod, mister.

I don't know for what reason.

I got troubles enough of my own

Without looking for more.

Hey, Mr. district manager!

About that coach now...

We're going to lordsburg.
We got guns.

Know how to use them
in case of trouble.

Y'all still going?

We'll be running late if we do.

Kind of close back there.

Little sidewinder was
about to draw down on you.

He's looking to carve
another notch in his gun,

But not at my expense.

I'm no gunfighter,
never have been.

Don't think you've seen
the last of him, son.

Hey, Charley!

Jim Walker!

Is that really you?

Yeah!

You still driving
for butterfield?

Yeah, nigh onto 30 years.

Well, what happened?

Lose your horse in a poker game?

No, he split his hoof.

Put that old saddle
on this horse.

Come with me.
I got to see jace.

Who's he?

The agent in charge.

Everything's
upside down around here.

The cavalry come in
shot full of holes.

They say apaches
is on the loose.

That shotgun guard
of mine Chad Benson

Broke his leg
falling down some stairs.

That's mighty
inconsiderate of him.

Yeah.

Old bill Gibson and I
came in with that patrol.

Bill Gibson!
In a town full of people?

Where the devil is he now?

He said after his bath,

He was going
to the palace saloon...

Don't say another word.

Soon as I find out
which way's up,

We'll go over and have
a drink with him.

That's a deal.

Hey, jace!
Get down off of there.

I want you to meet
a friend of mine.

Jace, this here's Jim Walker.

Used to ride shotgun with
me on the old yuma ride.

Howdy.
Glad to know you.

Glad to know you.

Know what we're going to do?

Close up at this rate.

If it ain't Taylor on my neck,
it's Indians.

And I got nobody to
take Chad's place.

I ain't driving no stage
without a shotgun guard.

Pardon me, sir.

Could you tell me
what time the stage

Is going to lordsburg?

Ma'am, it's up
to Mr. Taylor

To say when and if we go.

In case you haven't heard,

There's hostilities
along the way,

And it'll be a little
risky to leave right now.

I've just been told

It would be risky for me
if I stayed on.

I wonder why she's so anxious

To get stuck
with an apache arrow.

You must be new around
here to ask that.

I'm asking.

Her name's Janice mackenzie.

Do I need to say more?

That's Janice mackenzie, huh?

I knew her husband
Bob mackenzie.

Sold him some mustangs once.

What sort was he?

Well, he was
a ne'er-do-well,

Backed up by his mother's money.

Off hand I'd say
Janice mackenzie

Was too much woman for him.

She ain't done nothing wrong

To nobody around here,

But that fat sheriff Ben hall

And the gossips in this town,

They're going to officially

Run her out of town
on the coach.

I ain't driving no coach

Without a shotgun guard.

Wait. Since my horse
is crippled,

I'll ride shotgun
with you to lordsburg

For the price of a ticket.

That does it.

You put his gear
on top of that coach.

We're going across the
street to the palace.

Tell Taylor
when he makes up his mind

What he's going to do when,

Come over and get us.

Come on, boy.

* don't you cry for me

* for I come from Alabama *

* with my banjo on my knee **

I want you to meet
some friends of mine.

This is, uh...

Uh...

Jim Walker.

Yeah.

Come on. Sit down
before you fall down.

Thank you, miss.

Sit down here, partner.

Well, I guess we're not
leaving tonight.

I couldn't care less.

How about you, bill?

Right... right as rain,
Charley.

Right as rain.

Another bottle, bartender!

Bartender, another bottle!

I ain't the bartender, mister,

But I'll give you
a little advice.

You better hole up

So them big bad injuns
don't scare you.

Little man, big mouth.

Big man, big gun.

You want to see how big?

Come on, Toby.

We'll wait at the depot.

Don't give me no argument.

Remember what vance said

About starting another ruckus?

I'm going to kill him!

You don't watch your temper,

You'll kill the whole deal.

I don't understand, sheriff,

What you want
to talk to me about.

I'll leave when
the stage leaves.

There's some things
I'd like to explain.

If you'd just come to my office,

I'll try to...

Wake up.

Charley.

Charley!

Huh?

I've been looking
all over for you.

We're leaving for lordsburg.

Jace is hitching up the horses

For us to leave right away.

You going to be there?

Yeah, yeah.
I'll be there.

You still with me, Jim?

I'm still with you.

Help me get bill out of here.

Come on, bill,
you silly old man.

Oh, we had fun, didn't we?

Aah!

Next time you lay
your hands on me,

I'll stick that hat
pin right through you!

That'll be a fair trick, lady.

Try and be decent to your kind,

And you get assaulted.

What's the matter now?

Women like you
are not fit to be seen...

Take care of him, Charley.

Say it good and loud

So Mrs. hawkes can hear
you're doing your work.

You've been warned
about making trouble.

As sheriff, I'm ordering you

To leave on
the next stage or I'll...

You'll arrest me?

Don't worry.
I'll gladly leave.

The worst savage apache
on the loose

Is a bargain comparitivly to
most people I've met here.

You've got no place
in apache Wells.

I'm going to make
an example of you.

You mean I'm not going to
hear you tell me again

That if I'm nice to you things
are going to be nice for me?

Let me tell you something.

You lose 100 pounds and get
yourself a million dollars,

Because that's the only way

You're ever going
to get a woman.

Danged if the lady ain't right.

Old Ben couldn't
get into Kate's place

With a full month's pay.

Put an apple in his mouth,

He'll look like a roast pig.

Mrs. mackenzie,
we'd better head for the stage.

Ah, I see Mr. Taylor
found you.

Well, everything's
ready to leave.

Where's your friend?

He's right behind me.

I already got
his gear on the coach.

Come on.
Hurry it up.

We'll never get out
of here at this rate.

Help me get old bill on top.

I'll tie him so he
doesn't roll off.

Leave him here and let's go.

He stays, I stay.

It's going to be mighty
rough and mighty slow,

Going after dark like this.

We should still reach the
relay station by midmorning.

Yeah, sure.
Yeah.

You're the one riding shotgun?

I hope you don't have to use it.

If you two are
coming along, climb in.

Don't intend
to be here all night.

Mrs. mackenzie.

Careful now.

Gentlemen.

Hold it!

Well, now, look over there.

Looks like you ain't
leaving town any too soon.

Hold it!

Hold that stage!

Hyah! Hyah!

Stop that coach!

That man up there
is under arrest!

Hyah!

What you doing,

Looking for Geronimo?

Easier to scoop up the
desert in a tin pail

Than to see an apache

When he doesn't want you to.

Ohh...

What the devil's going on here?

Who tied me up
like a bale of cotton?

Better untie him before
he gets sunburned.

Who stepped on my head?

Think it was a fella
by the name of John.

John who?

John barleycorn.

Sure packs a mean wallop.

Where's my horse?

Where we going?

Your horse is in apache Wells.

Next stop is lordsburg.

Now come on!
Ha!

Now, what do I want to
go to lordsburg for?

Hyah!

Can't you put that thing out?

It's enough to make
a person choke.

Hey, now, friend,

If I put my hands around
your neck and squeeze,

That would choke you,
too, wouldn't it?

I'll have you know

I'm district manager
of butterfield lines.

Hey there,
Mr. district manager,

Toby Jack didn't mean no harm,
did you?

No. Here, have a drink.

No, thank you.

What's the matter,
Mr. district manager,

Our whiskey ain't
good enough for you?

Drink it before I stick
it down your gullet.

Hear me now?

That's it.

All of it...
Down the hatch.

Hyah!

That's a good boy.

You... you won't
get away with this.

When we get to lordsburg,

I'll have the marshal
jail both of you.

Hey there, Toby Jack.

What?

We ain't being
polite to the lady.

Here, honey.

How about a snort?

No.

Hey, Jack, I think
you're wasting your time.

She don't want to be friendly.

I ain't such a bad cuss

Once you get to know me.

I'll forgo the pleasure
if you don't mind.

You can't never tell

How things are going
to work out.

Before this trip's over,

You might just
want me for a friend

More than anything else.

Just you wait and see
how things turn out.

The way my back's crawling,

Feels like them apaches

Got us drawn and
quartered already,

And that cargo we got below,

Excepting for the little lady...

Hah. They're
a motley crew.

Including Taylor.

I got your Winchester in the
scabbard if you need it.

Hey, you!

Unlimber your irons.

Looks like we might
have trouble ahead.

Whoa!

Look over there.

By the almighty,

They're falling out of the sky.

Well, he's still alive.

He's pretty busted up.

Wonder what he was up to.

No good, bet your whiskey.

Something must have
scared his horse,

And he fell off.

Why bother, lady?

Let the buzzards have him.

Better yet...
Put a bullet in him.

It's nice and clean.

I would expect you to say that.

He's just a stinking injun.

What do you care?

Sure. Why waste
our time?

He ain't no bother of ours.

Leave him be.
Let's go.

I'm afraid I agree.

Afraid I don't.

What do you mean?

This particular Indian may
be very important to us.

How?

Take my word.

All right.

We can't leave him here.

He'll die if we do.

There's no room in the coach.

I'm not taking

A murderous savage
into our midst.

He's in no condition
to murder anybody.

Help me get him up there.

I ain't riding with
no lousy redstick.

Well, Sonny,

You just have a nice walk.

The way station's down
that way about 15 Miles.

You can make it easy,

That is, if the sun
don't get you,

Or, uh, one of his pals.

I said he's not riding with us.

Didn't you hear what I said?

Heist him on top of the coach.

If it's good enough for me,

It'll do for him.

Redskin.

May I ride with you?

A half-dead apache
is no worse

Than the company
I've kept so far.

You'd better ride inside.

Gets hot and dusty up there.

Besides, if there's trouble,

I wouldn't want you to get
hit with a stray bullet.

Come on, kid.

Hyah!

Hyah!

Get up there!

Hyah!

Whoa!

Charley!

I thought for sure Geronimo
got you this time.

That ain't likely.

Well, here we are.

One hour stop for victuals.

The food here ain't no good,

And the whiskey is pure poison.

You trying to kill us?

Sonny,
you can walk to lordsburg if you want.

Chico!

Chico Lopez!

Last time I see you
was in San Antonio.

How you been?

Fine. And yourself?

I tell you, i...

Chico, take care of the horses.

That's a devil of a note

Bringing that injun in here
just like he's civilized.

It's too bad the
situation isn't reversed.

You'd look good
staked on an ant hill.

I'd expect your kind

To take up with an injun.

You open your yap
at me once more,

I'm going to bat you one.

Toby Jack...

Why don't you just
try batting me once?

Don't!
Unless you think I'll miss this close.

Drop it back in the holster.

Outside.

All right, gunfighter,

I've got the advantage now,

So we'll even things
up a little bit.

Bill, throw him
your skinning knife.

I ain't no hand with a knife.

Ain't got no chance.

A lot more chance than
you figured to give me.

No, but I can't.

You busted my hand.

Too bad it wasn't your neck.

Charley, keep that till
we get to lordsburg.

Suppose we're jumped by apaches.

Well, Sonny,

I'll just keep it
for you till then.

You got anything to say?

Not with that gun pressing
into my backbone.

Drop it, bill.

How about now?

Nah.

I got no quarrel with you,

But Toby Jack ain't likely
to forget what you done.

He'd better not,

'Cause next time

I'll step on your neck.

You, you in charge here?

Si, señor, I am
the boss man here,

I think.

This place is disgraceful.

What does butterfield
pay you for anyhow,

To sit around and do nothing?

Sometimes nothing
is very hard to do.

If nothing else,
get us some food.

Si. Si, señor.

You're never going
to learn, are you?

You're lucky he didn't
knock your head clear off.

Why didn't you lend a hand?

You always said you
never needed no help.

Where the devil is vance?

Maybe because we were late,

He figured something
went wrong and took off.

Tell you one thing...

I don't aim to try it
without him.

Here you are, bill.

Chico...

You make the worst grub
I ever ate.

Now get behind the bar
and start pouring.

Charley, you always say the
same thing about my cooking,

But I notice you had
three helpings.

Ay, caramba!

Russell, take one drink
while on a run,

And it's your job.

I'm warning you.

Oh, I see.

Uh, chico, make that a double.

As of now, I quit butterfield.

Mr. Taylor
will drive you

The rest of the way
to lordsburg.

If you intend to
work for butterfield,

You'd better do as I say.

I don't intend to
work for butterfield.

I quit.

Didn't you hear me?

Well, uh, perhaps
I was a bit hasty.

This has been a most
arduous journey,

What with everything happening.

What are we going to
do about the Indian?

We'll leave him.

He'll get along somehow.

After all, what did they do

Before the white man came along?

Probably a great deal better.

I'd like to get some fresh air.

Would you join me?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

I'm beholden to you,
Mr. Walker.

Twice you've helped me,

And I've not thanked you yet.

No need.

What are you thinking about?

How beautiful you are

And yet how sad.

Do you know who I am

And what they say about me?

Well, what people say

Isn't really important.

Oh, yes, it is.

You've got to live with people.

Did you know my husband?

Yes, I knew him,

But what I don't know

Is how a woman like you

Ever married a man like him.

I met Bob in new Orleans.

We were married four weeks later

After a whirlwind courtship.

There was only one little detail

Bob didn't tell me...

His mother had other
arrangements for him.

Her arrangement
was Maria delgado,

Whose family in Mexico

Is as rich as maude is here.

A wedding was planned...
Not mine.

And by marrying you

He, uh... Upset
the apple cart.

Maria delgado put on
her wedding dress.

She went to church,

Prayed...

And then killed herself
on the altar.

Well...

Sometimes pride can be a...

A terrible thing.

She was five months' pregnant

With my husband's child.

Maria's father and two
brothers swore vengeance,

And maude and I watched

As they rode up to the house

And killed Bob
right before our eyes,

And then they rode away
without a word.

In her grief,

She... she turned
against me, and...

Naturally, she didn't
tell the whole story.

She felt that...

That if I hadn't married Bob,

None of this
would have happened.

Well, by the time
she was finished,

I was a marked woman
in the whole territory.

I bear the mark of Cain
wherever I go.

Then why do you stay on?

Because I didn't
do anything wrong,

And I will not lower
myself to that indignity.

Now, she made me run,

And she made me cry,

But no one else ever will.

There was an apache war scare.

We was worried about you.

Where you been?

Up on the Ridge watching
things down here.

Everything set?

They're all inside.

What happened to...

Where's your gun?

He smarted off again,

And some fella inside
whomped him good,

Took his gun away.

Give him yours.

Get that shotgun.

There's a storm coming in.

Saw it from the Ridge.

Hey, I just seen
an Indian up there.

You see anything?

No, I don't see nothing.

He don't, either.

He just been drinking too much.

All right, let's go.

It's about time we get rolling.

I'll go rustle up the
other two passengers.

Uh... uh, not yet.

We haven't been here an hour.

Butterfield always...

Don't anybody move!

Heist 'em high.

I ain't got no gun, Sonny.

Who is she?

Well, that's Janice mackenzie.

You've heard of her before,

And this one here is the one

That cuffed Toby Jack around.

How big you feel now?

About the same size you would

If you didn't have that Cannon.

I don't know whether I'll give
him to you or not, Toby Jack.

Oh, shut up.

I'll tell you
what to do and when.

Long time, Walker.

Long time.

You know him from somewhere?

I know him.

Hey, you.

You run this place?

Si. Si, señor.

What about him?

Found him on the trail.

She insisted we bring him along.

Say, vance,

This one's been
nursemaiding that bag

All the way here.

What you got there?

Nothing. Just some
extra clothes.

No use playacting
anymore, Taylor.

Give Jess the cash.

Well, Charley,

Looks like the stage line

Is going to give Mr.
Taylor a bonus this year.

You mean to say I've been
working for a crook?

Toby Jack,
you and Jess don't think

I just chanced to pick
that particular coach?

Nothing could be
further from the truth.

Right, Taylor?

Fool! Why did
you tell them?

Why, you mangy toad.

You was with them all the time.

That's why you wanted to leave
apache Wells and get here.

My boys didn't know
about you, Taylor,

But, of course, you
didn't know about them.

Well, boy,
I sure got to hand it to you, vance.

I didn't know he was one of us.

Do you realize what you've done?

I'm ruined, finished.

Now I'll have to go on the run

With you and those two

Because you talked.

Taylor, you won't have
to run anyplace.

No?

Well, what about them?

Think they'll keep still

Once they get to lordsburg?

He's real funny, ain't he?

They don't need you
anymore, Taylor.

Shut your mouth.

Well, it's...

It's done now.

Let's divide the money.

40,000 each, vance.

Those two are your lookout.

He still don't get it, do he?

And they don't, either,

And they're going to
be just as dead as...

He is.

No, vance, not...

Not me.

I... i set this thing
up for you.

Without me,

You'd never have
been able to do it.

Look...
I'll do it for you.

I'll kill them!

Every one of them!

Then it won't be on your head.

I'll be in it with you!

Please don't kill me!

Please, vance!

Please, vance!

You're next, mister.

Don't get itchy.

Get him out of here.

You see, Jim,

I just saved your life.

That Toby Jack, he's a mean one.

He wants to nail your
hide to the wall.

Ha ha ha ha!

I've lived among injuns
most of my life,

Pretty near,

But I'm glad to say that
I've never seen this buck

Except from a distance.

That's why I'm here now.

What's he saying?

You have any idea who that is?

That there apache

Is none other than antone,

Chief of the tontos.

Madre de dios.

You're lying.

Bet you wish I was.

Chico... What about it?

No! No!

Bill is right.

His people will
burn down this place

And kill all of us

If they know he is here.

That's what you meant

When you said he was special.

There's more than likely
apaches looking for him.

Vance, we don't stand a chance

With that many
apaches out there.

So, the great hunter
is now the hunted.

Ohh.

Maybe it's a trick.

Maybe they're just making
it up to stay alive.

I told you I seen
an Indian out there.

I had a partner once

Who got caught by some of
victorio's mescaleros.

They staked him out
on an ant hill.

They slit his eyelids

And let nature take its course.

No mescalero living
can match a Tonto

When it comes to meanness.

Well, that's better.

Vance, I ain't never
seen it this bad before.

Let's get it done and
clear out while we can.

How far do you think
you'd get in this storm?

I'd take my chances
with the storm

Against apaches any day.

Well...

Looks like you've reached an impasse,
vance.

Those apaches know
antone's in here,

And you know Tonto apaches
are the worst kind.

They're the meanest.

They'll just wait.

When you step outside,
you won't get 10 feet.

Keep talking.

You need us, vance.

You need us bad,

And you need us alive.

Now you've got, uh, three guns.

Add us to it, that makes eight,
including the woman.

Wouldn't you say that
stacks up a lot better?

You'd fight apaches,
that's for sure.

Then me and the boys
would be outnumbered,

And we'd have to fight
you for the 80,000.

Of course you can
always kill us.

Try and make a run for it...
beat the storm.

Ain't no storm can keep
the apache off your tracks

Once he's got your scent,
and they got wind of you.

They just trying to spook
us to get the guns back.

Let's kill them all now

And clear out of here
while we got half a chance.

First, vance, how
about a little favor?

What favor?

This woman.

I want her.

At a time like...

Fella I once knew said

The only way to cure
all the world's problems

Was to do away
with all the women.

He said there'd be one man like you,
though,

Who'd want to hide one.

Well, miss...

You have a choice...

Your life, or, uh...

Jess.

I'd rather be safely dead.

I guess she sure
set you straight.

You're too damn proud,

But I'll tame you.

You'll see.

Keep away from me.

This ought to be worth seeing.

She's a hellcat, Jess.

Think you can handle her?

She'll be begging me to save
her before this is over.

What about it?
Think the lady ought to go with Jess?

You heard what the lady said.

Now hold on, Jess.

Whoa.

Looks like our friend Jim
here wants her for himself.

Maybe you better
take it up with him.

I don't think you can take him,
Jess,

Without a gun.

Sorry, Toby Jack,

Looks like I'm going
to have to finish a fight

You started earlier
and never finished.

Now, cool off, Jess.

They're just trying to have
some fun at your expense.

Hmmph.

Now that was fair and square.

I sure would have bet
on Jess, though.

You never would've got him
if not for the whiskey.

Gets in the belly every time.

Your luck's just
about run out, vance.

One of these days
you're going to have to

Face a man all on your own.

I just hope it's me.

Vance...

Why didn't you...

Why didn't you do something?

What for?

You wanted the woman.

So did he.

Ha ha. Jim...

Where'd you ever run across
this polecat in your travels?

Well, about...

About six years ago,
there was a...

There was a wagon train

Out of St. Joe,
Missouri...

That was ambushed.

Every man, woman,
and child was killed.

Well, they thought
the kiowas did it,

So they sent the army
out to punish them.

There was a lot of gold
on that wagon train.

It never turned up.

Gold?
Yeah.

Now you know the Indians
don't use gold,

So one of the relatives
had me investigate.

It seems the, uh...

Wagon master
was strangely missing.

And I bet his name
was vance Buckner.

Yeah.

Well...

It took me almost a year.

I finally caught up to
him and brought him in.

You... you brought
vance in?

He went before judge
Isaac Parker for trail.

You mean "hangin'" judge Parker?

Yup.

Well, the judge
didn't hold with murder,

So he sentenced him to hang.

Now, one of the kiowa survivors
was in the courtroom,

And he jumped up and slashed
his face with a knife.

Bill...

You know what that scar means?

Yeah.

It's the mark of
a two-legged polecat.

Well...

I haven't seen him
since that time.

Naturally, i...

Thought they'd
stretched his neck.

I'll bust out of here
like I busted from jail.

I've never seen anyone

Want a killing as bad as you.

What's the difference...

You or the apaches?

We're not going to need
you and your friends

To fight off those apaches.

If they'd been around here,
they'd have made a move by now.

And just in case, we've got him.

How much longer
is this going to go on?

What's the matter, Sonny?

Your spine crawling?

Old man, I want you
to hear me now.

One more time, and I'll...

You'll what?

Unless he says so,
you can't even blow your nose.

Why you...

Uhh...

Bill!

Why, you...

Easy, bill. Easy.

I didn't...

Think the little...
Dog had the...

The sand...

To do it.

Someday somewhere
you're going to get it.

Toby Jack, if I didn't need you,

I'd let him have you now.

Now you killed him,
you get him out of here.

Chico, help take him
outside someplace.

Now, what's that mean?

He says he knows
how you got that scar.

Says you're marked
for a bad end.

Not as long as we have him.

Says he knows he's going to die.

Says they'll kill us.

They might keep the woman.

They're going to take you...

And give you to
the women and children.

When they're through with you...

They're going
to cut your heart out

And feed it to the dogs.

Aah!

Apaches!

What happened?
Where's Toby Jack?

Apaches! Apaches!

Careful, Jess.
We're liable to hit each other.

Shh! It's me.

Aah! Aah!

That was Charley

Yelling, hollering,
and throwing things around in there.

You stay right here.

Just to keep you
from catching pneumonia.

Come on.

You think we'll ever
get out of this?

Uh, there's...

There's not much chance of that.

And no matter what happen...

I'll always be
grateful for today.

You speak my language?

We have antone inside.

We brought him here

To keep the wolves
from feasting on him.

Would you dishonor
your chief by killing us?

What do you mean?

Well, antone is dying.

Would you have him
go to the next world

Owing a debt in this one?

Dying at the hands
of his worst enemy?

The man Buckner

Is holding antone prisoner
in the way station.

He's the one with
the scar across his face,

The mark of dishonor for
killing squaws and children.

Watch as we save antone...

Then burn down the station

Upon the man with the scar.

No, wait.

If you try and save antone,
they'll kill him.

If you try to burn the station down,
they'll kill him.

I have an idea.

Maybe I can help save him,

So he can die
among his own people.

Vance! Can you hear me?

My gun's pointed at your belly.

If I shoot, you're dead.

Don't be a fool.

Hear me out.

What do you want?

I want to give you a chance...

A better chance than
you figured to give us.

Your friends in here
haven't got a chance.

Turn them loose...

Unharmed.

You think I'm crazy?

They're my insurance
to get out of here.

Vance!

They'll burn you out!

Do what he says, vance.

Anything's better than this.

I can't put them off
much longer!

What's your deal?

Turn them loose,

Throw your guns away,

Come out with your hands up.

All we'd get is a rope.

Either way we're dead.

I'll make the deal.

Take it, or we kill them.

It makes no difference now.

All right.
What is it?

We let them loose.

You bring our two horses

This side of the coach.

We keep our guns.

Well, you heard him.

I do not care about them.

I only care for my chief.

We are agreed.

What about it?

All right, vance,

But then I'm coming after you...

Alone.

I hope so, bucko.

I just hope you do.

Cut them loose.

All right, you two,

Carry him out.

Oh!

Is that butterfield money?

Yeah.

Leave it there.

Nothing said about that.

You're coming after us.

You can take it then.

If you think you can.

Ay, chihuahua.

Gracias, señor.
Gracias.

Chico, get me a horse.

Si, hombre, como no.

I never thought I'd see the day

When I'd be glad to see apaches.

The truce is only until sundown.

I do not wish to see
any of you again.

Oh, Jim... Jim,

According to that apache,

You only got till sundown.

All right.

He's a good one.
Plenty tough in the desert.

Charley, you take care of her.

Hyah!

Hyah!

All right, hold it.

Come on down.

Why did you not kill him?

I'll take him back to town.

The white man's law'll hang him.

No. He will
stay with us.

Take his horse.

The truce is till sundown.

Walker!

You're not going to leave me?

Walker!

Walker!

Walker!

Well, bill won't mind.

He knew every foot
of this territory.

The only place
he ever called home.

Antone died just after you left.

They picked him up
and rode away.

Stage leaves for
lordsburg in 10 minutes.

You two still going with us?

Well, it's a start.
