Major.

At ease.

Lieutenant.

Why'd you run off?

Um...

I didn't want you to be upset.

I mean, when I saw my superior officer endin' up

in a sideshow...

There are worse places to be.

Uh, what do you mean?

Uh, nothin'.

Remember this?

Hey!

My good-luck piece.

The medal I won in the war.

You lost it at poker, remember?

You can win it back at poker, if you want.

[CHUCKLING] No more poker.

I'm finished with that game.

Even three years have passed,

I haven't forgotten that $5,000 I owe you.

I've begun saving,

and, well, I'll pay it back to you one day.

I give you my word.

Bet it's pretty difficult to cash that.

Where can I find you?

Right here in Hobsonville.

I've got a friend, runs a gambling house.

We were in the army together.

You picked the worst place.

Hobsonville doesn't have any money to spare.

[SNICKERING]

CROUPIER: 20 black.

Number 20 wins the round.

[PIANO PLAYING]

CROUPIER: There you are.

Lieutenant, this town is rotten.

It's really rotten.

You're winning, Major.

Uh...

I'd like to talk to you.

Right now?

Before you break the bank.

CROUPIER: Place your bets.

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, please.

The yellow goes on number eight.

Very well, ma'am.

Place your bets down, everybody.

Round and round she goes.

You're a rich man now.

I'm listening.

If you like to play with a magnet in your cigar case,

there's a much bigger gambling joint over in Redstone.

You'll do even better there.

Ah.

You see, Major, here in Hobsonville,

we're all honest, hardworking folks.

Here.

I pried this magnet from under your roulette table.

[WHISTLES]

You mean you won without any help?

Damn! What luck!

What's lucky about it?

You should be a sleight-of-hand artist.

They have one workin' at the circus.

[BOTTLE CLINKING]

His name is Pickles.

Partners?

Well...

Don't worry.

Only until you pay back the $5,000 you owe me.

Where do I change these, with the cashier?

Oh, no, no. I'll do it.

How come there are so many Irishmen in this town?

They've got an organization here.

They work for the progress of Hobsonville.

They're a big family.

All those brothers, cousins, in-laws, can't keep track of them.

And the family's run by Joe McIntock,

who's the smartest one.

[ORGAN PLAYING]

That soul who hath horses and golden robes,

saith the beggar,

and jars overflowin' with gold and precious stones,

he shall place at thy feet all his riches, woman,

for thou art here to be purchased.

But she who is full of the grace of the Lord God,

spurneth riches and golden robes.

We pray to thee, O Lord, to keep us away from men

possessed of the fleeting pleasures of the carnal urge,

of violence,

of the will to create discord.

Oh, Father, let us go back to the innocence we knew originally

so we can claim our future in Christ.

Amen.

ALL: Amen.

[COUGHING]

[UNCORKING]

[GASPING]

[SIGHING]

A splendid sermon, Father.

Thank you. Thank you.

It was beautiful. Thank you. I was glad to be here.

A memorable service. Thank you.

God bless you. Good day.

[WHISPERING INAUDIBLY]

Not here.

You're supposed to eliminate an enemy of the organization

and you failed in your mission.

[GROANING]

Thank the Lord you're alive,

'cause you really owe it to him.

Mercy's what I've learned from him.

What's that?

$100. Just take it off what you owe me.

[CARRIAGE APPROACHING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Hey. Lovely view.

California, I'd say. Nope.

Obviously further east.

Well, a 10-spot says you're mistaken.

Pal, you've already lost.

Huh.

I just bet that guy over there $10

that you've come from Missouri.

That's true.

You worked at Madame Boisset's in St. Louis, right?

Right again, I worked there.

Ah. And what are you doin' here?

Working the town for a two-week run.

Well, you picked the right place.

Hobsonville's lousy with money.

It should be good here.

I'll bet you're all sold out in advance, aren't you?

For a guy like you, I guess I can always make an exception, can't I?

[YELLING]

[YELLING]

[MAN GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Get out of here.

Go and fight someplace else, you two.

[GRUNTING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

[DOOR OPENING]

[DOOR BANGING SHUT]

CLYDE: Still here?

Waiting for somebody?

I found it! Now you see it.

Now you don't.

When somebody's as lucky as you are,

you just have to lighten their burden.

Get out, you two.

It was just a misunderstanding.

It won't happen again, Major.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

You guys are pretty good.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Pickles.

ATTENDANT: Five minutes, Mr. Pickles. Five minutes.

Sleeping, Mr. Pickles?

ATTENDANT: Help!

Help!

Somebody killed Diane.

[CHUCKLING]

Hmm.

Ah.

[CHUCKLING]

SHERIFF: The statement of the proprietor of the circus

makes perfectly clear the relationship

between the girl and Josiah Pickles.

No doubt he killed her. Obviously a crime of passion.

I'm sorry to see you go, Sabata.

If you should change your mind...

Ed Cunningham will do fine replacing me.

If you need me, I'll be in Clyde's saloon. Good.

[SIGHING]

[SIGHING]

Thanks very much. I'll smoke it later.

Now.

How's business?

Couldn't be better, stranger.

This town's exploding by leaps and bounds.

Right, Mr. Mayor?

[SNORTING] What did he say?

Mr. Mayor's the name of my horse.

Go on.

Now, if you'd arrived a year ago...

Hot and cold runnin' water, all the luxuries.

Hmm.

It's the room I reserve for my special guests.

Great.

The only trouble is it's right next door to you.

There'll be somebody to help you.

With what?

I know you didn't have anything to do

with that business in the circus,

or that girl.

You're wrong.

She's the one that gave me the information on Pickles.

I've been livin' with that circus for two months

because I had a hunch on somethin' big.

Now...

Oh, well, if you need a helpin' hand. I mean...

[CHUCKLING]

Yeah.

I maybe could use a helpin' finger.

There's a lot of redheads loose around here.

Well, I'm right here at your beck and call, Major.

You know you can trust me.

Don't forget, Major,

during the war I was at your side, with the south.

I suppose that's another reason we lost, Lieutenant.

Huh.

Hmm.

BARBER: Hey, stranger, you didn't pay the tax.

Look, it's written right here.

SABATA: On basic necessities, it's 5%

and 50% for houses of pleasure?

No discounts?

The shave comes under luxuries, that's 20%.

And if I don't want to pay?

[DRUM BEATING]

Hail to the McIntocks of Hobsonville!

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[LAUGHING]

Ladies and gents, citizens of Hobsonville,

we all want our town to expand and grow more rich,

earn the respect of other cities.

To do that we must all pay our contributions

for a better tomorrow.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, my friend!

My generous friend.

See that man over there?

[INAUDIBLE]

I bought this weapon, the same as yours, a year ago for $12.

Now, if you're going to charge me $24 here, taxes or not,

that sounds like legalized theft.

Never mind, Mister.

We don't like strangers with tough talk.

[DRUM BEATING]

Good citizens, don't pay any attention

to the wild words of the stranger here.

He don't respect the same things that you good men do.

The sacred Bible, the Blessed Savior.

[GUN FIRING]

"Don't offend Sabata."

A portion from the Proverbs.

Nothing, nothing.

I asked the man to put out my cigar, that's all.

You know an organization that's cheating us all?

Well, I do. McIntock's.Huh?

BRONCO: Anyone who uses trickery or money or violence

to swindle innocent, unsuspecting people

and treats them as, uh, simpletons,

nobody can call that man a Christian.

♪ Sabata

♪ Sabata

[LAUGHING]

Try some.

You get more attractive every time I see you.

Come here.

MAN: Well, then, I don't have to tell you

what's inside that package, do I?

MAN 2: I'll figure it out.

Hmm, well, you can't believe what you read in the papers, can you?

Better decide what you're here for.

I want to go with you, but I can't now.

How about it? $20 all right? Mmm-mmm.

MAN: You know, I didn't know what to do.

Hello, handsome.

Cows, man.

I can tell you how old they are by their teeth.

Your wife's teeth, they must be all gold by now, right?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

You're offended. Rosette!

I was talking about my cow, Evelina.

I wouldn't make any remarks about your age.

But since you're getting personal,

oh, only this morning I was raring to go.

A good place for umbrellas.

[ALL LAUGHING]

You can look, but don't touch, Junior.

First time? No.

I come here every day.

Every day? Uh-huh.

Only so far, I haven't got the nerve.

Maggie was asking about you.

She says she won't charge you for it.

Just the town planning tax.

And what if I don't pay?

I'll show you the exit door,

and I'll even open it for you.

I don't think that'll be necessary, I know the way.

[PIANO PLAYING]

Let's go.

Chuck!

Now, where do you think you're goin'?

Well, I have an appointment with your leading lady.

She's rehearsin'.

Well, I don't think so.

She wouldn't begin the show without me.

Why? Who are you?

Well, I'm her prompter.

Hey, Joe. Tell him it's okay.

It's Sabata.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Sabata.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

As a prompter, he's not bad.

What do you mean, prompter?

He must be the stage manager.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[PANTING]

Please, please.

Let go. What's the matter with you?

Go on, boy.

[MOANING]

Sabata, watch out.

[GRUNTING] [CHUCKLING]

Here you are, stranger.

[GRUNTING]

A very good way to explain, "Here's the way out."

All these Irishmen stink up the place.

Worse than some cigars.

Oh.

All right, Sabata, now, what the hell's goin' on?

He refuses to pay the town a penny in taxes.

It's the truth, Sheriff.

He said all our taxes are just legalized theft.

If you don't obey our laws,

I'll be obliged to arrest you.

MAN: At this rate we won't get far, eh, Sheriff?

Sheriff.

[PEOPLE YELLING]

Have any of you ever seen a $50 bill?

MAN: There's one right here for you.

Hey, don't push, Grandpa.

You'll be dead before you get upstairs.

I'm better than you, Buster.

[DRUM THUMPING]

BRONCO: Stranger, don't pretend you don't understand.

The Bible says,

"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

[GRUNTING]

You know your way around here.

You may not think about things

the same way I do, but I still like you.

And I'm doing you a good turn.

And I say, without the contributors,

Hobsonville wouldn't be the same place it is.

And that means the citizens pay willingly,

because before this plan of McIntock's...

If you insist, beat your drum,

but mind your own business.

[EXCLAIMING]

This is a peaceful city,

where every citizen respects the law

and pays his contribution for a better tomorrow.

Boom, boom.

All you lack is a drum.

Quiet.

McIntock.

Your organization must be makin' a lot of money

to pay for all this publicity, huh?

No answer to that?

They tell me you're a good gambler.

I'm always lookin' for the odds.

Hmm.

A year ago, there arrived in Hobsonville

a man whose spirit resembled yours.

He was fine handling a pistol,

but he kept on interfering with us.

He disappeared suddenly.

Somebody did the poor man in.

His finger.

Guess it wasn't steady.

You can cheat at gambling,

but, for this,

why risk your life?

That's right.

So why should you risk yours, McIntock?

Just a minute.

Who are you?

Somebody who's lookin' for the odds.

Not bad before breakfast.

[DOOR CREAKING]

[GASPING]

When are you going to begin making love?

Customers of yours?

I don't know anything about them.

Don't try any foolin' around.

I've had enough exercise.

Remember, no noise.

I'll go along with that.

[GUN FIRING]

[MAGGIE GASPS]

Sorry about the noise.

I think your mother's waitin' for you.

Bye.

SABATA: You see, Maggie, I'm old-fashioned.

I don't like orgies.

Anyone hurt?

I just wanted a little peace...

...and quiet.

[GUN FIRING]

I'd like to take a ride.

I'm beginning to understand your McIntock.

I knew that you'd get together with McIntock.

[LAUGHING]

You're doing great.

And you, Mr. Mayor,

when are you going to get such a filly for yourself?

Ha!

[EXCLAIMING]

Whoa.

Now here's where they'll erect a fine new church,

a new school right over there.

And the new food market, stockyards, railroad station,

the new bank, and the biggest and best hospital in Texas.

[GRUNTS] Horse manure.

[BRONCO GRUNTING]

And a new newspaper is gonna be established right there, see?

So, that's why I say you ought to pay your share.

It isn't that much.

A little percentage on items deemed necessary.

A mere 20% on luxury items,

50% on women and gambling.

You keep talking like that, and they'll raise it.

[INSECTS BUZZING]

[EXCLAIMING]

But you keep putting him down

because you don't know Mr. McIntock.

He happens to be a very careful man.

He wants all the money in the safe

before he starts to do anything.

BIONDA: Hey, over there.

Hi, Bronco.

BRONCO: Get out of here, you good-for-nothing.

How many times do I have to tell you to keep away from here?

If I catch you, watch out.

Let's go.

[GRUNTING]

You know why I'm all for McIntock?

Because he was a miner.

A man of the people, like so many others.

Same as me.

Look over at that mine.

He worked it for years. Found all kinds of things.

Apache graves, caves millions of years old where people once lived,

even an underground river.

But gold, not a trace.

Come on now, tell me your thoughts.

I think he's already found it.

Nobody's honest if it's up to you.

I'll bet not even your own mother.

Well...

Mmm.

No.

Ha!

[PIANO PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Waitin' here, Maggie?

That can mean losing quite a lot of business.

He's my business.

SABATA: Those two over there.

They'd pay any price you asked.

And without any trouble, Maggie.

Who are they?

The Braddock Brothers.

They make a business trip here twice a year from California.

California?

Lots of gold out there.

CROUPIER: Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.

Place your bets.

Thank you, ma'am.

You, sir, you got your chips down?

Stick close to me, partner.

You bring me luck.

[MUSIC STOPS PLAYING]

I have been informed that you are playing with a magnet on you.

By who?

That's confidential information.

I also know you carry other illegal objects.

Hand me your cigar, eh?

[GRUNTING]

[CHUCKLING]

If you don't win this time,

it will be my duty to lock you up.

Go on.

14 red.

[BRONCO CHUCKLING]

Pretty good, huh?

Cash it in.

And no city tax.

MAN: We were waitin' to hear you say that.

It's a seesaw game, you see.

2 coins, a race, a kick, and the first to grab the coin

that's flipped up into the air wins them both.

Except that this time, instead of using silver dollars,

we'll play with these.

[PEOPLE MURMURING]

MAN: Wait.

Lieutenant, I could use that helpin' finger now.

Ah.

MAN: Take four steps.

Come on.

What are you waitin' for?

Fire.

[CHUCKLING]

Maybe you'd rather have this one.

I'll show you how it works.

[GROANING]

Good luck. See you all later.

Drop dead.

[BRONCO YELLING]

[MEN LAUGHING]

BRONCO: The next time you try anything like this,

I'll skin you alive.

And I won't wait until then.

Those bolts were all right.

Why'd you take them from his buggy?

Well, uh, I needed them in a hurry.

I'll tear you apart!

No, no, no, not you. Take it easy, Mr. Mayor.

Lieutenant, you're really the clown.

[GROANING]

I decide things around here.

Nobody orders anybody except me.

Nobody.

To bring violence into a peaceful place like Hobsonville,

where legality is the due process

supporting a program of reconstruction

that is a shining example to everybody,

is against the judgment of Joe McIntock.

That friend of yours is a lot of trouble for us here.

When is he leaving?

Well, we're partners.

I couldn't help it. I was forced into it.

I owed him money for an old gamblin' debt.

$5,000.

[CHUCKLING]

I'll lend it to you.

And get rid of him.

This rotten town suits me just fine.

So McIntock gave you $5,000 to get rid of me.

You know, by staying partners we could earn more than this.

Ah, I see what you're aimin' for.

And if you swindle me on the deal?

I'm not like you.

No? A guy who'd shoot his finger off in wartime

just to spend his 20 days convalescence

with the colonel's wife is a lot worse.

Sure, you weren't wrong.

He was a pig, and she was lovely, and he deserved it.

But you take advantage of any situation that comes along.

SABATA: Look out!

[GLASS SHATTERING]

What do you think?

Were they shooting at you or at me?

Oh, at both of us. They want their $5,000 back.

Partners?

[CHUCKLING]

Yes. To the end.

I know Sabata. He'll get to you,

and that will be the end of everybody.

[GRUNTING]

Let's go.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

That's my watch.

Sit down.

You know, Major, all the contributions

made by the citizens for Hobsonville,

hundreds of thousands of dollars,

are in Jeremy Sweeney's safe.

He's the banker as well as the mayor.

McIntock's future brother-in-law.

Well...

Because it's a family affair,

they're sure to want to split it up.

All we have to do is make sure the money is still there.

And how do you figure to do that?

It's not difficult.

All you have to have is a drum

and a man who believes in McIntock

as though he were Our Lady of Pilar,

or Guadalupe or something.

MAN: McIntock.

CROWD: McIntock.

Citizens of Hobsonville,

Joe McIntock has a great announcement he wants to make personally.

Friends, the trust which you placed in me these last three years

waiting for this announcement,

is the best reward I could receive.

Now here it is.

We are to begin our long-promised construction

to make Hobsonville better,

a city that we can all be proud of.

A shining and moral home for our menfolk and our women.

Our women whose morality provides us with an example

of righteous and virtuous conduct

for our children and our children's children.

[ALL CHEERING]

No! No! no!

[SABATA WHISTLING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

MCINTOCK: Stop.

Please, I hate violence.

Hmm.

Mmm-hmmm.

[JACKIE CHUCKLING]

You were really marvelous, Joe.

Thank you.

What would I do without you?

So that's how you're fighting McIntock.

Well, yours isn't the only way to fight.

Don't upset things, please.

[LAUGHING]

I've thought of a way to get rid of the guards at the bank.

Late, as usual.

The bags or your lives.

Stranger, you notice a bad smell here?

There you go!

[MEN YELLING]

It's better now.

Where are you goin'?

[SABATA CHUCKLING]

I really wasn't looking to duck out.

I'd be a son of a...

Maybe you are.

But if our mothers walked the same streets, mine had more customers.

Unfortunately, McIntock's little old lady was the best of all time.

We've been had, partner.

What would you say if I told you all that was counterfeit?

[LAUGHING]

You're crazy.

You're lyin'.

It's a joke.

[QUAVERING]

That's what I thought.

JACKIE: Clyde!

Clyde, I must tell you something.

I know already. The money's counterfeit.

That McIntock you're so busy two-timin',

where does he keep the real stuff?

How would I know?

Liar.

The bags.

Why don't you believe me, Major?

Just once, huh?

All right, boys, let's go.

Where shall I go?

There's a lady present.

And you wouldn't like it.

This is the last batch he made.

Aren't they splendid, eh, Jeremy?

What is it?

No one could ever spot these.

I've never approved the idea.

The more time passes

I'm convinced you left your brains somewhere back in the mine.

[CHUCKLING]

[LAUGHING]

A few more days and we'll be gone.

And the town can crumble into dust,

which is a lot more than they deserve.

A fake Caesar.

With all money carrying your features.

Right in there is our entire fortune.

We'll buy that man's silence, I promise.

You and I can afford anything.

And if he can't be bought,

then somebody will dispose of him.

The everlasting Father is good and generous,

and so must man be.

Thus, man is blessed. Amen.

I took this watch off one of your men.

It belongs to Pickles.

Josiah Pickles, by profession a counterfeiter,

known to most of the circus audience

as a sleight-of-hand artist.

I ran into Pickles just after the war.

I found out about his profession.

I figured he'd find some way to make it pay off.

So I trailed him.

MCINTOCK: Very interesting.

So I wound up joinin' the circus.

[CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Nice, huh?

The circus always has its fascinations.

Comes here twice a year.

In three years, that's 6 movements

of counterfeit money for the McIntock projects.

Trouble is, I came with the last shipment.

For an Irishman, you're not very hospitable.

Whiskey?

Why the face?

I've got a million dollars in counterfeit money.

Don't know what to do with it.

Now, you'd stick it in the safe,

but why would you take so much trouble to get it back?

But wait a minute.

Maybe the reason is you can't put the real ones in.

Of course you can't, they're in California.

Right?

A miner can't find gold, so he buys it.

I don't want to spoil your game,

so I'll sell you these counterfeit notes for 10% in gold.

I'll stop by the bank later and cash it in.

You better tell your partner.

You'll never get away with this.

You look worried. Have a sip.

[MCINTOCK GASPING]

The show's over.

Tell your partner.

I'll be in before the bank closes.

Sabata, not at the bank.

I'll bring it you, the full amount,

to the mine.

[INSECTS BUZZING]

BRONCO: Counterfeit money!

What do you think you're doing, stranger?

Why don't you tell everybody in Hobsonville about it

instead of trying to cover up for McIntock?

Because McIntock promised to give me 10% in real dollars.

That way they won't lose their savings for nothing.

What do you think of that?

Oh.

Don't you trust me? Hmm.

MAN: Hey, up there! The boss is waitin' for you.

Whoa!

MAN: Use the sled, if you want.

For the people.

[LAUGHING]

[SIGHING]

Stranger.

Stranger, how did you get out?

Stranger, how did you do it?

[LAUGHING]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

SABATA: You did wrong, Mac.

If I don't have my 10% by noon tomorrow,

all Hobsonville will hear about the counterfeit money.

Hmm.

Spent the night again?

What's the old guy got?

Lieutenant, you shouldn't ask questions like that.

Why don't you send Jackie for a few lessons?

Hmm.

School's downstairs.

[CLYDE LAUGHING]

Is Maggie teachin' school?

What class? More advanced than you.

And I've been teaching for years. I like it.

And the principal is very pleased with her work.

Major, it's almost time.

Where is McIntock?

[DRUM BEATING]

Citizens of Hobsonville!

Finally the truth is out.

[GUN FIRING] The whole scandal is coming out...

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Sabata, over in Redstone

our sister is still waiting for you at the church.

You planning to marry?

She had a boy.

Hmm.

Never careful, are you, Major?

[CHUCKLING]

If you're after something, come and get it.

The drum, open it.

Hey, skinny, you get his gun.

Me?

The same thing once happened to you with the Yankees.

But you had ideas then, eh, Major?

Take it.

Hmm.

[MEN GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

[BELL RINGING]

No.

Where did you hide that?

It was on me.

Nobody will trust me.

[GROANING]

[SCREAMS]

Uh-uh. Someday, you'll win at poker.

Bronco, what's the matter?

I was thinkin' of your little boy.

He'll be nobody's boy, like me.

Like him, too.

You were fortunate, stranger.

You at least had a mother to look after you, to care for...

Oh!

She was?

Guess so.

But isn't there a good one at all?

SHERIFF: You've gotta come along with me, Sabata.

Ever since you've been here, there's been nothin' but trouble.

BRONCO: But they drove him to it, Sheriff.

He had to kill 'em. It was self-defense. Honest, it was.

Let 'em through! Let 'em through!

Get back. Come on! Stand back there.

Stand back!

[COCKING]

[WATER SPLASHING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Here's the murder weapon, Sheriff.

Now, let's reconstruct this crime, Sheriff.

Pickles, Josiah Pickles, strangles Diane.

Now, Pickles is such a dangerous man, he wants to kill me, too.

So he comes back here, and gets shot with my gun.

Now what was the motive, huh?

You're very funny, Sabata.

But nobody's gonna untie that rope necktie around your neck.

[LAUGHING]

SABATA: Sorry, but you're wasting your time.

Meanwhile, whoever killed Pickles is making off with the loot.

And that's a million dollars that belongs to all of us, the people.

For our city to grow rich and respected, too.

Mmm-mmm.

Bronco, never break the law.

Wait a minute.

You mean the funds of the whole McIntock plan?

Give me six hours in exchange for a million dollars.

Hmm.

MAN: At the mine, did you hear?

WOMAN: They've discovered a vein of gold.

Yeah, gold.

Eh?

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

At the old mine, Sheriff. Gold at the old mine.

After 20 years? It's impossible.

There was an explosion and it just dropped out.

Come on, I'm going down there.

A vein in his mine.

That'll be bad news to that old weasel, McIntock.

Last month he donated the mine to the city.

Tell me, stranger, it's too much for my head.

What are we gonna do with that counterfeit money, eh?

Wait till you get the real ones back.

Ah.

Ah.

Well, Sheriff.

Six hours, Sabata.

Where we're going, I don't have a place for you.

See you in St. Louis.

Maggie.

I'll miss you.

Sabata is likely to follow you.

He's sure to be around here spying on our movements...

That's why I'm goin'. You better stay here.

Go on in.

[WIND HOWLING]

[NEIGHING]

[SHUDDERING]

I wanna find that gold.

Where do we begin?

At the foundry, quickly.

We got to find it before he gets back.

[WHIP CRACKING]

Whoa!

I don't need you anymore.

I'll meet you at Green Pass.

If Sabata shows up there, you know what to do.

Okay!

Hiyah! Hiyah!

Hiyah!

Let's go. Hiyah!

I don't know what it all means.

The Irish go one way, we go another.

Put out that cigar.

It's out.

Over there.

[GUN FIRING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

[NEIGHING]

Hey, Bronco.

Thought I asked you to put out that cigar.

Oh.

Run for it. Oh!

[EXPLOSION]

[HORSES NEIGHING]

Wait, stranger. See? The cigar was out.

You're beaten, Sabata.

You should've gone after the first wagon.

My gold is long gone from here now.

Long gone is right.

You don' trust your own men with it.

Not even that partner of yours.

But don't worry. You don't owe me a thing anymore.

I don't care where my money comes from.

The people of Hobsonville will give me that 10%

when I give them back

what you've stolen.

[LAUGHING]

You're right, stranger. They'll take care of you.

The people are always generous to anyone who saves us.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Now you just wait till I tell 'em about you.

You don't plan to tell anybody.

Because you're after my gold.

And you want to keep it yourself,

but you're wasting your time.

Because you aren't gonna find the gold.

What do you think?

Well, that guy would die

before he'd let anybody find it.

Is it worth locating that gold?

Hey!

Is it worth dying for that money?

Well, I wouldn't like to do it, Bronco.

JACKIE: Clyde.

I found it. I found it.

It was here, under the stones.

Oh, Clyde.

Oh.

I'll take care of the gold, you go back upstairs

and keep your eyes open, my dear.

Hurry.

I'll get my sister and be right back.

Wait for me here.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MAN: The door's locked.

MCINTOCK: Break it down.

[BANGING]

Clyde.

Clyde.

Clyde.

Tell me how you got down here.

Gold hunting, are you?

No, Joe.

Yes, you are. No.

You turn out like everybody else... No.

Crawling around, sniveling like a bitch in heat.

And only to steal my gold!

To steal my gold!

Help me, Clyde!

[GASPING]

Clyde.

No.

JACKIE: Clyde. Clyde, help me.

No.

Oh, no!

[SCREAMING] No! Clyde!

[GROANING]

Jackie.

Why did you murder my sister?

You killed my sister, now kill me, too.

Or you'll never get away.

[GRUNTING]

Only one little sack. He's fooled us.

MAN: All okay, Mr. McIntock.

[GROANING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Hey, you! Get the wagon ready.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

MAN 1: The chests are all in the front room.

MAN 2: All we have to do now is load up the gold.

Do you think the old man's doing the right thing?

Well, the best thing for us is to get the hell out of here.

McINTOCK: I put it right here under these rocks.

Just one little sack of gold to throw them off the track, and it's... It's gone.

Find them and don't let them get away alive.

Understand?

[MCINTOCK GASPING]

$20,000 and he's yours.

Hey, partner, I wanna talk to you.

[WHISPERING] My pistol's fully loaded

and he's fired four rounds now.

Sabata, I've got him.

We've got McIntock.

Now you judge my deal.

He offers me $20,000,

you offer half of 10%, after we find the gold.

But he's the only one who knows where it is.

[GRUNTING]

And you certainly understand my position

about telling anybody where the gold is.

I'd murder my own mother before telling her.

[GUN FIRING CONTINUES OUTSIDE]

If that's the way it is, let's get it over with.

His is the better deal.

[GUN CLICKING]

CLYDE: Sabata!

[GRUNTING]

You were going to rob me of my gold.

I knew it.

Coming after my gold like jackals, like hyenas. No!

Nobody's going to get my gold.

Because I'm the only one who knows where it is.

All my gold's in here!

[LAUGHING]

Nobody knew it.

I was too smart for them,

for these Hobsonville peasants.

For everybody! And those two...are dead.

Major. Lieutenant.

MCINTOCK: And I've got my gold!

[GASPING]

No.

No. No!

[YELLING]

[GRUNTING]

CLYDE: You heard what he said, Major, didn't you?

You heard him.

All the gold is here somewhere.

But, where? Where?

Don't you want it back?

All the cards are right here, Major.

Mmm-mmm.

You're good at cheating, but so is the house,

and I'm the house.

And I claim a misdeal.

[LAUGHING]

Mmm-hmm.

[GUN FIRING] [GRUNTING]

CLYDE: Pretty good, Major.

That's right, Lieutenant.

Well?

[CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYING]

The show is over.

Go ahead!

Shoot!

[GRUNTING]

Your lucky piece.

You won it back.

Aren't you taking me with you?

Major? Partner?

Well, sooner or later, you're gonna need another trigger finger.

Eh?

[GUN FIRING] Right?

Oh, my finger.

Don't think I will.
