02:51Okay.
03:11Mr. Silva in person.
03:15How are you, Jake?
03:17I'm good.
03:19What brings you to town?
03:20Oh, my back is killing me, and I hear you have a good doctor in town.
03:24Well, you look well.
03:26No, it's you.
03:28Who look impressive, dressed as a sheriff.
03:31I'm not just dressed as one.
03:33I am one.
03:35Well, it suits you.
03:42I was hungry.
03:43You made this?
03:45Yes.
03:46I didn't know you could cook.
03:48There's a great many things you don't know about me, Silva.
03:51Of course.
03:54Twenty-five years is a very long time.
03:58To our reunion.
04:00Do whatever you like.
04:02Every time I drink wine, I remember when we were in Mexico and we went down into the cellar with some whores.
04:12We were very young and very crazy.
04:14What a bunch of misfits.
04:17The worst from every county.
04:19You know, I think we're the only ones who survived.
04:24Let's drink to that.
04:25Don't look at me like that.
04:31How do you want me to look at you?
04:35How long did that madness last?
04:37Two months.
04:41And it wasn't madness.
04:43When I drink,
04:45I remember every single one of those sixty days.
04:48I think you drink too much.
04:52Now myself have given it up.
04:56Of course, now I'm contradicting myself.
04:58To your contradictions, then.
05:00Now.
05:18I'll be back on.
05:18I'll be back on.
05:37I.
05:40Bye.
05:41Bye-bye.
05:42Bye-bye.
05:44Bye-bye.
05:46Jake?
06:16Jake?
06:43I think you lied to me, Silva.
06:50Were you hiding in the bathtub?
06:52I wasn't hiding.
06:54And you could use the bath yourself.
06:56Are you inviting me to take a bath together?
06:59No.
07:03Don't.
07:04I know how to dry myself.
07:08You should get to rest.
07:10Where did I put my underpants?
07:13I'll take a pair of mine.
07:15They're in the drawer on the right.
07:28And you did lie to me, Silva.
07:31You don't have a bad back.
07:33What do you mean?
07:34You don't need a doctor.
07:38I wanted to have a couple of drinks with you again while I can still move.
07:44And, believe it or not, working with horses destroys your back.
07:50No one would ever know.
07:52Nothing hurts this morning.
07:54You cured all my ailments.
08:01I haven't felt this good in such a long time.
08:04What are you doing today?
08:06We could go to Hot Mountain River.
08:08I can't work today.
08:10Work and wait.
08:11It's not every day someone crosses the desert to come see you.
08:19We've celebrated enough.
08:22I've got things to do.
08:23Can I help?
08:24Maybe.
08:28No.
08:32Three days ago, a woman was found killed in town.
08:36I've got to find the man who did it and bring him to justice.
08:40Can't you find someone else to do it for you?
08:42You are the sheriff.
08:44It's a question of honor.
08:47The woman killed is my brother's wife.
08:50And I had no law around here, remember?
08:53Ours is a strange fate.
08:55What does that mean?
08:58Your brother's wife had to die for us to find each other in the same bed again.
09:02Last night...
09:03Last night, we drank too much.
09:04We drank because we were happy to be together.
09:06That's not going to spare your son from paying for what he did.
09:10He didn't do it.
09:11They were lovers.
09:11He mistreated her.
09:14He must have told you he came here from time to time.
09:16No, I would have asked him about you.
09:20Jake, don't walk away.
09:21I'm talking to you.
09:22When my brother died,
09:24I promised him
09:25that I would look after her.
09:28She wasn't an easy woman,
09:29but I made a promise before then.
09:31On my father's deathbed,
09:32I promised him I'd look out for my little brother.
09:35I can't fail any of them.
09:37I heard you had an affair with her.
09:39That was a long time ago.
09:40Was your brother still alive?
09:42It doesn't matter.
09:46What matters
09:47is someone saw a man with a limp
09:49on his left leg
09:50leaving her place the night she was killed.
09:52Now, if your son didn't have a limp,
09:54he'd have nothing to worry about.
09:55I understand you've crossed the desert
09:57to intervene on his behalf.
09:59Anyone could have pretended to have a limp
10:01to frame him.
10:02Why have you come here, Silva?
10:04I came because I wanted to see you.
10:05I've been wanting to see you for a long time.
10:08Bullshit!
10:10You could have come much sooner.
10:11I thought about it, believe me.
10:14But I didn't know what kind of welcome
10:15I would get from you.
10:17I got the feeling that you put distance
10:18between us on purpose.
10:20After working together as hired guns,
10:22I proposed to set up a ranch,
10:24the two of us,
10:24but you didn't want to.
10:25I left to be with my father
10:27who was sick.
10:29I decided to be a good son for once.
10:30You don't have to be an avenging judge
10:32to be a good son.
10:33I wanted to be on the right side of the law.
10:34I was sick of being a hired gun.
10:38Besides, I'm not cut out to be a rancher.
10:40You were the best gunman.
10:42Well, that hasn't changed.
10:45It was one day you missed.
10:48What are you talking about?
10:51Nothing.
10:52No matter how good you are with a gun,
10:55there will come a day
10:56where you miss the shot.
10:57It happens to all of us.
11:00You don't remember.
11:02I don't know what you're talking about.
11:05I will say you've done very well
11:07on this side of the law.
11:08You are the most respected sheriff
11:11in the county.
11:11You've done well for yourself,
11:13so it's been good for both of us.
11:17But I knew that one day
11:18I would cross the desert
11:19to come and see you again.
11:20Don't go down that path, Sylvia.
11:22I miss those two months
11:23in Mexico, don't you?
11:24That was a long time ago.
11:27My life is here now
11:28and yours is on the other side
11:29of the desert.
11:30I like that you kept my red scarf.
11:31If not to save your boy,
11:34why have you come here precisely now?
11:37I wanted to see you.
11:38I told you...
11:39I don't believe you.
11:41You had 25 years for that.
11:44I spent the last hour
11:45showing you how much I wanted to see you.
11:49Did you love your sister-in-law
11:51more than you loved me?
11:52I promised my brother.
11:53I told you.
11:55Just stop talking like that.
11:57We are alone.
11:59You made a mistake
12:0025 years ago
12:02thinking we could
12:02start a business together.
12:04And you're making a mistake right now.
12:07Just finish getting dressed
12:08and going your way.
12:09I don't think as you were.
12:10Idiot.
12:11Starting to worry,
12:12you might be right about that.
12:15Why are you so sure?
12:17It was my son.
12:18People saw them together.
12:20They had a violent relationship.
12:25Sylvia's son is dangerous.
12:28I told him...
12:29I told him to never set foot
12:32here in Bitter Creek again.
12:33And you see...
12:34You see how much he listens to me.
12:35I'll make him go to Mexico.
12:37Or any place
12:38where he won't bother you.
12:39Or me.
12:40It's a big world out there.
12:42I'm gonna bring him into trial.
12:44And if he's found innocent,
12:46I will make sure
12:47nothing happens to him.
12:48But you don't need to be
12:49the one looking for him.
12:50Just...
12:51Give me a truce.
12:54A truce?
12:56What are you talking about?
13:01You have no heart, Jake.
13:05You never did.
13:09You just like to fuck.
13:11Huh?
13:11You never loved me.
13:12You never loved anyone in your life.
13:14Don't say that.
13:18You're gonna shoot me?
13:19Enough.
13:20Sylvia.
13:20You're gonna kill me
13:21while I'm half undressed?
13:23How will you explain that?
13:24A dead man in your bed
13:26still smelling of gum.
13:27Get the fuck out of my house.
13:31Get the fuck out of my house.
13:57Good morning.
14:09Good morning, Fav.
14:11Lock this up.
14:28You're in charge of the office
14:29till I get back.
14:30When are you gonna be back?
14:33I don't know.
14:33I don't know.
14:58ORGAN PLAYS
15:28There's plenty of wine.
15:30But how do we drink it, Silva?
15:32Leave it to us.
15:33See?
15:34Let's do some target shooting, Silva.
15:36Let's see if you can hit the wine skin.
15:38Let's do it.
15:40Ladies, please, step aside.
15:42Okay.
15:43Let's see.
15:48Are you ready?
15:49What is it?
15:51One, two...
15:54No puedo tomar más.
16:19And now, these...
16:21These are worse than us.
16:23Let's go.
16:24Here we go.
16:25Let's go to the freshest.
16:28Because now the party starts.
16:30Let's go.
16:58Let's go.
17:28Let's go.
17:58Let's go.
18:28Let's go.
18:56Let's go.
19:02Joe!
19:05Come on, get dressed and leave.
19:07What's wrong?
19:08Get dressed.
19:10Jake has been on my tail since I left Bitter Creek.
19:12Couldn't you convince him?
19:13No.
19:14You take a horse and you get as far away as you can.
19:19Even though no matter where you are, Jake will find you.
19:21She was a whore, Father.
19:24Sooner or later she'd have ended up like that.
19:27You were two of a kind.
19:29Now get out of here before I hang you myself.
19:31Okay.
19:44Go do what we will say.
19:46Over all has a smiley and he will let you in.
19:48This should be enough to buy his silence.
19:51This is not enough for even a month.
19:52Then you will have to work.
19:55Or we will find you something to do.
20:03Where are you going?
20:04To get my fucking horse.
20:06I have to saddle him up.
20:06No, there's no time for that.
20:07Take mine.
20:08Don't even think about crossing the border back here again.
20:11Oh, don't you worry.
20:12I wasn't planning on riding on this dark forsaken ranch.
20:15It's not going anywhere, Joe.
20:17Put the gun down.
20:17Put it down.
20:18Right now.
20:19Put it down, Joe.
20:29Don't turn your back on me.
20:30Silva!
20:32I'm only here for your son.
20:37Don't turn your back on me.
21:07Enough, Joe!
21:14What are you doing?
21:15Enough!
21:20Hold your gun, Jake.
21:24No!
21:25Stop!
21:25Joe!
21:26Stop!
21:30Don't move.
21:32I swear I will kill you.
21:34Put that gun down, Joe.
21:36No shit, Jake.
21:37Get on the horse and get the fuck out of here.
21:47Get on the horse and get the fuck out of here.
21:52I don't know.
22:22All right.
22:52It was a clean shot.
23:09Straight to the waist.
23:19Okay.
23:20Okay.
23:21Okay.
23:22You're going to be all right.
23:27Run, you son of a bitch.
23:31Keep pressure on it.
23:33You're going to be all right.
24:03Come on, come on.
24:10Come on.
24:13Come on.
24:14Come on.
24:15Come on.
24:17Let's go.
24:47Let's go.
25:17Let's go.
25:19The three of us were doomed to meet, each of us armed.
25:23Bullshit.
25:23You shot me, and now you're trying to kidnap me.
25:26I just wanted to save my son.
25:30And I am sorry I had to shoot you.
25:33And I think you've got me in your hands.
25:36Please, don't strain yourself.
25:41Don't talk.
25:46As soon as I can ride, I'll leave here and charge you with attempted murder.
25:52No one will understand why I missed the shot, let alone why I treated your wound afterward.
26:01Rest.
26:01There's plenty of time to talk.
26:08The only reason I would open my mouth is to spit in your face.
26:13You hate me as much as you want, Jake.
26:15But it won't help your wound heal any faster.
26:26Years ago, you asked me what two men could do living together on a ranch.
26:33I'll answer you now.
26:40They can look after one another.
26:45Protect each other.
26:49They can keep each other company.
26:51They can come to me.
27:08Uh, uh.
27:12Uh huh.
27:15Uh huh.
27:16Uh huh.
27:18Uh huh.
27:21Uh huh.
