00:03:14Que tal, amigo?
00:03:16Thome ne va?
00:03:19Quiero algo č č comer
00:03:20Ā
00:03:21Don tlie
00:03:22I'm going to sleep.
00:03:23I can pay him.
00:03:28Does he speak Spanish?
00:03:31Inglés?
00:03:32American.
00:03:33Attend.
00:03:35Please come in, sir.
00:03:41Do you want to wash yourself?
00:03:56Father!
00:04:00Father!
00:04:03Father!
00:04:13Father!
00:04:26Your husband isn't going to eat?
00:04:28He already eaten, senor. He must go to town.
00:04:31Somehow he looked like a man who would have to go to town.
00:04:40Aren't you staying?
00:04:42No, I've had a change of plans.
00:04:45When your husband comes back with the police,
00:04:48tell him I'm sorry, I couldn't wait.
00:04:53Gracias por todo.
00:04:54Let's go.
00:04:55Let's go.
00:05:11Let's go.
00:05:18Let's go.
00:05:30Yes, father.
00:05:31What are you doing here with the chickens?
00:05:33I was just resting against the shelter.
00:05:35This is for animals.
00:05:37The house is for men.
00:05:39Come.
00:05:42There's nothing.
00:05:44We will have a look at it.
00:05:45Come.
00:05:51I'm not.
00:05:54Leave it.
00:05:57Funt that people.
00:05:58Get the money here.
00:06:01Stop it.
00:06:03Stop it, you fools.
00:06:04He's got his hands up.
00:06:05Get a chance.
00:06:09What is it?
00:06:10You were dreaming, my son.
00:06:12You shouted in your sleep.
00:06:15Sorry I disturbed you.
00:06:17Sleeping men shout in this fashion.
00:06:20Prison in the battle lines of armies.
00:06:22And when they are being hunted.
00:06:25What do you want me to do?
00:06:26Confess my sins.
00:06:28I want you to have peace.
00:06:30And lead me along.
00:06:33As you wish.
00:06:45Father, I will rest your arm again.
00:06:49No doubt the pain was what disturbed.
00:06:51No, no, no.
00:06:51It's an arm.
00:06:52It hardly hurts me.
00:06:54When you saw it yourself, it's only a little wound.
00:06:57And yet, father, here's the whole trouble.
00:06:59Because of this wound or something, I can't hold my arm.
00:07:04I can't lift it.
00:07:06You mean lift it as a man would who was ordered to surrender.
00:07:13The police.
00:07:16They've tracked me for two days and nights.
00:07:19They'll be here in the morning.
00:07:21This is it.
00:07:22The end of the line.
00:07:23Even the police are not always so merciless.
00:07:27You understand?
00:07:27I saw it.
00:07:28I saw it happen to another man.
00:07:30He couldn't lift his arm either.
00:07:32He stood up in a lonely place at daybreak.
00:07:35Somebody shot him.
00:07:39Somebody who shot him.
00:07:40Come and lie down, my son.
00:07:42You don't have to talk about the...
00:07:43But I do.
00:07:45I mean, I have to know the answer, father.
00:07:47And there isn't much time.
00:07:54It began about a year ago.
00:07:57You might not believe it to look at me now,
00:07:59but in those days, I was running an oil field.
00:08:05Hey, Lynn!
00:08:07Lynn Banner!
00:08:12I got a flash for you, Lynn.
00:08:17I got a flash for you, my son.
00:08:18Drive me down to the south field, will you, Herb?
00:08:19I got a broken bit down there.
00:08:21You better go to the office first.
00:08:24You know what day this is?
00:08:25Wednesday.
00:08:26And the ghost is supposed to walk this afternoon.
00:08:29We got payroll trouble?
00:08:31Not another stick.
00:08:33I thought they were going to fly it in like last time.
00:08:36They couldn't get a plane.
00:08:37Earl Mahoney, you know the guy from Petroleum Finance Corporation?
00:08:40He was bringing it up himself by rail car.
00:08:42One of those putt-putt jobs.
00:08:43A bank vice.
00:08:44Franksie on a rail car.
00:08:46He must have been out of his mind.
00:08:47He had guts, Lynn.
00:08:48He knew how vital it was after all the trouble we had.
00:08:50He wanted to be personally responsible.
00:08:53Don't take it so hard, Lynn.
00:08:55We've got insurance, you know.
00:08:56Great.
00:08:56But meanwhile, what am I supposed to pay my men with?
00:08:58Lockwashes and seashells?
00:08:59They like money.
00:09:00Moolah, you know what I mean.
00:09:01Money.
00:09:02Let me see.
00:09:02On 12 paydays a year, we get three stick-ups.
00:09:06Where's Mahoney now?
00:09:07He's in the office.
00:09:08We'd better step on it, huh?
00:09:16Who's this guy?
00:09:17Corporal Valdez.
00:09:18He was in charge of the guard.
00:09:20Only guard left?
00:09:21That's what they say.
00:09:22You better get Doc Fella to take care of him.
00:09:24He's on his way over.
00:09:26All I want is a pair big enough to ride in.
00:09:28They don't have to fit.
00:09:29Hello, Vanner.
00:09:30Hi, Mr. Mahoney.
00:09:31Looks like we're in a little trouble.
00:09:33We'll get that money back.
00:09:35Every last cent of it.
00:09:36We'll get this fellow before Doc.
00:09:38You're not taking off again.
00:09:39You bet I am.
00:09:41The police commandant has assigned a mounted squad
00:09:43to do the tracking.
00:09:44And I guess they're going to need me.
00:09:46Anything you want me for before I take off?
00:09:49Well, yes.
00:09:49Frankly, could you give me some idea of just what happened?
00:09:51I only got a sketch.
00:09:52I'd like to make out a report.
00:09:54Leon Tampico's calling.
00:09:55I'll call back in five minutes.
00:09:58It was a rough deal.
00:10:00We were right on that hairpin turn back at the gorge.
00:10:03You know the one?
00:10:03Yeah.
00:10:04Oh, thanks.
00:10:06This fellow was track walking there.
00:10:08Never would have slowed down for him,
00:10:09but he had a company badge on and looked like an American.
00:10:13About your height, stock he built.
00:10:15Thought maybe he'd been sent out to meet us.
00:10:18Then all of a sudden, the sky busted open
00:10:20and the shooting started.
00:10:21He got three of the guards with the first burst,
00:10:23but I fell off the car.
00:10:26It's probably what saved your life.
00:10:28Yeah, I guess so.
00:10:30Well, I'll put it all in writing when I get back.
00:10:32Good luck.
00:10:32So long.
00:10:33Just have a seat.
00:10:35Miss Ware's waiting in there.
00:10:36Got a cigarette, Herb?
00:10:39Hi, baby.
00:10:40What are you doing here?
00:10:41I couldn't stay at the ranch.
00:10:42This is much too exciting.
00:10:45So is having your pocket fixed.
00:10:47Sometimes I'd settle for that.
00:10:50Hello.
00:10:51Yes, Mr. Hubble.
00:10:52Yes, that's it.
00:10:53The entire payroll.
00:10:55Yes, I imagine they'll cancel the insurance,
00:10:57but it can't be helped.
00:10:58Okay.
00:11:02The doctor finished with that corporal?
00:11:04He's working on him now.
00:11:05Get a report from him
00:11:06and ask him to see me when he gets through, will you?
00:11:08Sure.
00:11:08Nice.
00:11:16Do you like a drink?
00:11:17Not now.
00:11:18I don't want to keep you.
00:11:20Was I going somewhere?
00:11:21I thought you'd be going on the posse.
00:11:25Not me.
00:11:26Lynn, you don't mean that.
00:11:28Sure, I mean it.
00:11:29We all think you're chicken.
00:11:30So I'm chicken.
00:11:31That stuffed shirt Earl Mahoney
00:11:32will get all the credit
00:11:33for catching the thief.
00:11:34He won't catch him.
00:11:35But the posse.
00:11:36It's not a posse.
00:11:37It's an armed police squad
00:11:39with some gringo kibitzers.
00:11:41Besides,
00:11:41posses don't catch anything
00:11:42but colds in the head.
00:11:44This one won't either.
00:11:45They think that guy's headed
00:11:46to the coast.
00:11:47Why wouldn't he?
00:11:49Because he's an American.
00:11:50What's that got to do with it?
00:11:51An American to stay right
00:11:53on the railroad
00:11:53where you don't leave a trail.
00:11:55He could keep on all night
00:11:56that way
00:11:56and along toward morning
00:11:57he'd cross over
00:11:58to the high road
00:11:58through some pass.
00:12:01El Tejon Pass, maybe.
00:12:04Let's see.
00:12:05Yeah.
00:12:06That'd be his best out.
00:12:07It's rough
00:12:07but once he got across
00:12:08he could hit the road.
00:12:11That's what he'd do, Lynn.
00:12:13If he knows the country well
00:12:14and he did know it well.
00:12:16Oh, he must have planned this carefully.
00:12:18Oh, you bet he did.
00:12:21But if you actually
00:12:22caught this stick-up guy
00:12:24you doped it out so brilliantly.
00:12:27If you brought him in
00:12:28all by yourself
00:12:30I'll admit
00:12:31I'm crazy enough
00:12:31to wonder
00:12:32if I doped it right.
00:12:33That's all I wanted to hear.
00:12:35Marie,
00:12:36would you call my dad's form
00:12:37and pay door at the ranch?
00:12:38I'll hold your horses.
00:12:39Just one horse, darling.
00:12:40The one you're going to ride.
00:12:42Tell him to catch the quarter horse,
00:12:43the one Dad uses.
00:12:45Have you got a gun?
00:12:46What would I want a gun for?
00:12:47Never mind,
00:12:47we'll get one at the ranch.
00:12:52Come on, Sheriff.
00:12:53We don't want to keep
00:12:53that bandit waiting.
00:12:56Here we go.
00:13:06That horse must have been
00:13:07used to rocky country.
00:13:09He followed the trail
00:13:10up the pass all night
00:13:11as if he'd had eyes
00:13:11in his feet.
00:13:14For some reason
00:13:15I was asking myself
00:13:16what I was doing there.
00:13:18I wondered if I hadn't
00:13:19been out of my mind
00:13:20to start on this chase
00:13:21in the first place
00:13:22just to show off
00:13:23like a kid
00:13:24turning handsprings
00:13:25on his girl's front lawn
00:13:26or something.
00:13:34This wasn't a game
00:13:35of cops and robbers.
00:13:36We were playing for keeps
00:13:37and it boiled down
00:13:38to a duel
00:13:38between me
00:13:39and the unknown fellow
00:13:40waiting up in the rocks
00:13:41or struggling on ahead of me.
00:13:43Never had the slightest
00:13:44doubt that he was there
00:13:46and then I'd find him
00:13:46but I didn't like it.
00:13:48He was all wrong somehow.
00:13:58Maybe I was afraid.
00:14:00I don't think I was afraid
00:14:01for myself.
00:14:02It was more like
00:14:03like being scared
00:14:04of what was going to happen.
00:14:06The moment which had
00:14:07to come soon now
00:14:07and would come
00:14:08as if it had been
00:14:09determined long ago
00:14:10and couldn't be stopped
00:14:11by any act of mind.
00:14:13Now you see,
00:14:14Father, I'm trying
00:14:15to justify myself.
00:14:16Explain what happened
00:14:17though I never can explain
00:14:20it, not in any way
00:14:20that would make
00:14:21the answer come out right.
00:14:23Then suddenly I saw the man.
00:14:25Get your hands up!
00:14:27Both of them over your head!
00:14:29Get them up!
00:14:41Some posse man
00:14:43shooting a guy
00:14:43with his hands up.
00:14:44Told you to put them both up.
00:14:46I couldn't.
00:14:46My arm's busted.
00:14:47That's what I was trying
00:14:48to tell you.
00:14:49I didn't hear you.
00:14:51Where'd I hit you?
00:14:53That's nothing.
00:14:54Maybe I'm lucky at that.
00:14:56Pick that coffee pot up,
00:14:57will you?
00:15:04Hey, didn't you used
00:15:05to work for Bolsa Grandy?
00:15:06Sure, I was a rigger.
00:15:07Sam Tevlin's my name.
00:15:08I thought so.
00:15:11And I know you,
00:15:12Mr. Vanner,
00:15:13and you don't act
00:15:14no different now
00:15:14than when you were
00:15:15down at the plant.
00:15:17All right,
00:15:17pull yourself together.
00:15:18I'm going to stash
00:15:19your stuff and take
00:15:20your back.
00:15:21What for?
00:15:21You don't know what for.
00:15:23I never took that
00:15:23payroll,
00:15:24if that's what you mean.
00:15:25How'd you know about it?
00:15:26Well, I...
00:15:27All right,
00:15:27we'll talk about that later.
00:15:30Well, if I took it,
00:15:30where is it?
00:15:31Did I hide it out somewhere?
00:15:33Have I got it on?
00:15:33Why don't you search me?
00:15:34If you got it on,
00:15:35you will find it.
00:15:36If you've hidden it out,
00:15:37we'll find that too.
00:15:38All in due time.
00:15:39Come on.
00:15:42Come on.
00:15:43As we started down,
00:15:44I think I felt weaker
00:15:45than he did.
00:15:46I was shaky and sick
00:15:48because I...
00:15:48I knew in my heart
00:15:50I'd shot too soon.
00:15:51I hadn't given them
00:15:52a chance to explain
00:15:53about his arm.
00:15:55I felt pity for him.
00:15:57Oh, easy, man.
00:16:02Oh, my...
00:16:04Oh, God.
00:16:08You've been sitting
00:16:09at the desk too much,
00:16:10Mr. Posse, man.
00:16:11You're kind of soft
00:16:12in the belly.
00:16:14I didn't figure
00:16:14I'd have to pack you
00:16:15out of my back.
00:16:16Oh, buddies, aren't we?
00:16:18One pal don't mind
00:16:19helping another,
00:16:20especially when he shot
00:16:21him with his hands up.
00:16:23That's a lie
00:16:24and you know it.
00:16:25Do I?
00:16:27Come on.
00:16:28Maybe I ought to pack you
00:16:30on my back.
00:16:48car waiting for you, huh?
00:16:50Yeah, could be.
00:16:52I don't suppose
00:16:53there's any use
00:16:53telling you again
00:16:54I didn't take that
00:16:55payroll.
00:16:56You'll have to tell that
00:16:57to the proper authorities.
00:16:59That's about what I
00:17:00figured you'd say.
00:17:09look, Mr. Vanner.
00:17:11If those company guards
00:17:12get a hold of me now,
00:17:12I haven't got a chance.
00:17:14Give me a break, will you?
00:17:15Turn me loose right here.
00:17:16I'm not so beat up
00:17:17that I won't make out
00:17:18if you let me take the horse.
00:17:21Can't do it, Tevlin.
00:17:23I was half tempted
00:17:23to give him the chance,
00:17:25but it was too late.
00:17:27I had to see this
00:17:28through the way I started.
00:17:40I had to see it, Tevlin.
00:17:41Boss, you sure did a great job.
00:17:42You certainly did.
00:17:43And say, did you hear
00:17:44about the reward?
00:17:45The reward?
00:17:46Yeah, the head office
00:17:46put it up last night
00:17:47right after you left.
00:17:48Two thousand bucks.
00:17:50Congratulations, boss.
00:17:51Nice point, Len.
00:17:52Boy, oh, boy, that helps.
00:17:54Hey, two thousand bucks.
00:17:56Never ride in a pal's boots
00:17:58unless he wears 12D.
00:18:00Well, my boy,
00:18:01I understand you're
00:18:01to be congratulated.
00:18:02You've done a fine job.
00:18:04Well, I'm not even sure
00:18:05he's the right man,
00:18:05but at least he's
00:18:06suspect number one.
00:18:11Lieutenant, my company
00:18:12has a vital interest
00:18:13in this matter.
00:18:14Would you object
00:18:14if I ask the prisoner
00:18:15a few questions?
00:18:16No, go ahead, senor.
00:18:18But it won't take too long.
00:18:19Oh, no.
00:18:20Where is he, Clark?
00:18:21In the back office, boss.
00:18:23Well, let's go
00:18:24and see if we can find
00:18:24something out.
00:18:25Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:18:27Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:18:51What's going on in there?
00:18:54I suppose you'd call it
00:18:55a cross-examination.
00:19:01That's your man,
00:19:02all right, Lieutenant.
00:19:03He doesn't feel like talking,
00:19:04but I can positively identify him.
00:19:06My department will check it out,
00:19:07Mr. Mahoney.
00:19:08All right, Gert.
00:19:15How is he?
00:19:17In bad shape.
00:19:18I'm going to give him a hypo.
00:19:20Will you stay with him a minute?
00:19:28Don't suppose
00:19:30any use
00:19:32telling you again.
00:19:37I didn't take that
00:19:40payroll.
00:19:47It's cold.
00:19:49It's cold in here.
00:19:57But I...
00:20:00Mother.
00:20:01Mother.
00:20:04Your mother will be here.
00:20:06She's on her way.
00:20:09Thank God.
00:20:11I'm going to take it.
00:20:39I know I'm going to spend my
00:20:40love with you.
00:20:41in his condition there wasn't what killed him what then the bullet right there I thought that
00:20:49only nicked him no no it punctured the pulmonary artery he bled internally well I'm sorry baby
00:21:05but I hadn't heard of any reward when I went after this guy and I don't have to be paid
00:21:09for bringing
00:21:09him in why do you keep saying paid it's not paid it's just a sort of prize an honor you're
00:21:15entitled
00:21:16oh Lynn think what two thousand dollars can mean to us oh I'm not going to take it I'd call
00:21:23it
00:21:23sentiment or superstition or anything you like I'd call it insanity you wouldn't borrow money
00:21:28from the company and I can understand that but now that they want to give you some you refuse
00:21:33can't you see it from my angle how do you expect me to feel I don't mean to be rude
00:21:38but I don't
00:21:39think this is your affair I thought it was it seems to me I remember starting you on this right
00:21:46yes you started me but well now it's something else something between me and your precious
00:21:52conscience if you hadn't been cleared at the inquest it might be different I won't take it Lynn

00:22:05I've waited and hoped and tried to see your point of view I didn't know I was being taken you
00:22:10never

00:24:12well sir I hate to put you in a spot but I'm resigning my position with the company
00:24:17that's right
00:24:18I know it is sudden but no sir
00:24:30where to senor let's give me about a hundred pesos worth of ticket in what direction senor you name it
00:24:36now go there
00:24:37I'll first train out
00:24:40Do I understand you wish a change of scenery any place will do that's right
00:24:46How would you like Los Santos it's a nice little place
00:24:50Santos yes
00:24:51Today we ship a coffin there for such shipments a ticket must be bought and this one has been paid
00:24:56for two according to the rules
00:24:59But today no one is using it
00:25:03All right, I'll take it thanks you're welcome senor you saved me trouble too
00:25:08Would you be kind and give these to the baggage agents at Los Santos?
00:25:13I'll do that. Good luck senor. I
00:25:16Knew there was only one dead man who could be going from La Mancha that day, but I didn't care
00:25:22I'd accept that much for Sam Tevill my transportation to a new life
00:25:27After all we've been traveling companions before
00:25:43A new life I figured that was ahead of me nothing behind. I was a lucky guy told myself why
00:25:51not?
00:25:52I was still young enough reasonably strong. There's no life can be a lot of fun
00:25:57All I had to do was hand some papers to a baggage agent and then the last thread that held
00:26:02me to the past would be gone
00:26:03I could go anywhere. I felt like do anything. I wanted
00:26:07Los Santos
00:26:09Los Santos
00:26:10Los Santos
00:26:32But then I had another thought
00:26:34Someone had paid to have Sam's body set home and the person who had paid would mean to train
00:26:40Well, whoever it was. I didn't want to see them. I was finished with the whole business. I just had
00:26:44enough of it
00:26:45I made up my mind to make tracks getting away from that station
00:26:53Senor
00:26:55I made up my mind to come back there, and I did not know what I did
00:26:59Well, I did not know what I did
00:26:59I wanted to make-up
00:26:59Oh, it wasn't my mind to make-up
00:27:05Well, I wanted to make-up
00:27:14But then I could tell you
00:27:32If you love me with devotion,
00:27:48If you love me with devotion,
00:27:55If you love me with devotion,
00:27:56If you love me with devotion,
00:28:01If you love me with devotion,
00:28:10If you love meh,
00:28:17As I live and breathe, put it there, Len.
00:28:20Carlos, you old son of a gun.
00:28:21Como estás there?
00:28:22Muy bien, amigo. Bien.
00:28:24Are you getting a little fan?
00:28:25Oh, what is a few pounds between friends?
00:28:28And you know something?
00:28:29I will always buy a drink for a doggone hero.
00:28:31Paquito, los más, a la mesa.
00:28:33Sete a la mesa.
00:28:35You know, I was just reading about you.
00:28:37The guy and the co-send me this.
00:28:39It was in the Veracruz paper.
00:28:41Oh.
00:28:47Keep it for your scrapbook.
00:28:49Didn't know you had it in you.
00:28:51Absolutely, Pesedos.
00:28:52And here's luck.
00:28:53Luck?
00:28:54Oh, that is what we have.
00:28:56Plenty of it, Len.
00:28:58Biggest blinking oil strike in years.
00:29:00Right here.
00:29:00Only 50 miles from Los Santos.
00:29:02Maybe I ought to cut myself a slice of it.
00:29:04Oh, there'll be enough for everybody.
00:29:06Man, you should have seen that first Gosher.
00:29:08Gosher?
00:29:09What is it, a Gosher?
00:29:10With or without the accent.
00:29:11It is 50,000 barrels a day.
00:29:13All high-gravity stuff.
00:29:15Hey, Len.
00:29:16Why don't you come and have a look at it with me tomorrow, huh?
00:29:19Oh, compadre.
00:29:19You got yourself a date.
00:29:21Bueno.
00:29:22So, so I took a job in the new field.
00:29:25After a couple of months, I quit.
00:29:27I kept thinking I had to get back to that town and find somebody.
00:29:32Crazy enough, I couldn't seem to think of anyone but this person.
00:29:37As you've guessed it, Father, it was the woman I'd seen for a few seconds on a railway station platform.
00:29:43Tablin's widow.
00:29:45I found out that much about her.
00:29:48Then I found out where she lived.
00:29:50Finally, I hitched a ride out of town.
00:29:53That was the first time I saw the ranch.
00:29:55It was neat and comfortable enough, yet it had that sorry kind of a look a place gets when there's
00:30:00no man to take care of it.
00:30:02You know that it looked different once when there was hope.
00:30:05People started out to build something.
00:30:07And then, well, they let go or were defeated in their purpose.
00:30:11This was where a woman lived her life.
00:30:13I wondered what the power was that had drawn me there.
00:30:17My share in her secret or was it just herself, her beauty or her personality, which was really unknown to
00:30:23me and only half guessed at.
00:30:25I hadn't thought up any special way to explain my visit.
00:30:28Figured I'd just knock on the door and see what happened.
00:30:37Who is it?
00:30:39Are you Mrs. Tablin?
00:30:41That's right.
00:30:42Won't you come in?
00:30:48Sit down.
00:30:50Thanks.
00:30:55Your name, please.
00:30:57Brown.
00:30:59Lindley Brown.
00:31:02We've seen each other before, haven't we, Mr. Brown?
00:31:05No, I don't think so.
00:31:09I hadn't expected anyone so soon.
00:31:12In answer to the ad.
00:31:14Oh.
00:31:14You understood the terms.
00:31:16I can't pay wages, but I'll share the profits after the stock is rounded up and sold.
00:31:22Oh, I see.
00:31:23I wasn't quite sure about the wages.
00:31:26Oh, I thought that was clear.
00:31:30It's right here.
00:31:31It's right here.
00:31:33Foreman for ranch co-op.
00:31:35You must have understood it.
00:31:37Well, that'll be all right, I think.
00:31:42We run between 300 and 400 heads.
00:31:44And the range is good, and we have a nice calf crop.
00:31:48I have one Indian vaquera helping me, but I've no way to round out brand and sell.
00:31:53I should imagine it'd be a little hard to keep housing right, too.
00:31:57Yes, even for a person capable of handling livestock, which I'm not.
00:32:02I've often thought of giving up and going back to the States.
00:32:06When I had to decide, I'd always try once more, hang on a little longer.
00:32:12My husband and I bought this place with savings, and he used to work in his spare time.
00:32:17Now, my husband is dead.
00:32:23Well, I think you're quite right to keep it.
00:32:25A place of your own can mean a great deal.
00:32:28My husband used to work for the oil companies.
00:32:31Have you ever worked in the oil fields, Mr. Brown?
00:32:34Oh, yes, I have.
00:32:35But where I grew up, oil and cattle were a team nudging each other for the same hunk of ground.
00:32:40I can pass myself off for a cowboy when I have to.
00:32:44Get a load of those boots.
00:32:46He's no cowboy.
00:32:48Mike, this is Mr. Brown.
00:32:49This is my son, Michael.
00:32:51How are you, Michael?
00:32:52Well.
00:32:54Mike, you're right about these boots.
00:32:55They're no good.
00:32:56But I've had the other kind, no kid.
00:32:58And I can roll my own cigarettes when I have to.
00:33:01I'd want to be quite sure that you understood the work and that you were competent to do it.
00:33:05Things have run down here.
00:33:07It won't be easy.
00:33:08I'd like to try.
00:33:09Is he going to stay, Mom?
00:33:11We haven't decided yet.
00:33:13Well, if he is, I'm moving out.
00:33:14I'll tell you, Michael.
00:33:15I'm looking for a place to work and your mother wants someone to help her the way you do.
00:33:19Oh, wouldn't it be all right with you if I just sort of hung around and helped your mom?
00:33:24It's okay with me.
00:33:25If that's what you want, Mom.
00:33:28All right.
00:33:29We'll try it and see how it goes.
00:33:32I suppose you have to get your things from town.
00:33:34I didn't do that this evening.
00:33:35I'll show you the room you can use.
00:33:45Till now I understood.
00:33:47She was stuck for somebody to work the ranch.
00:33:50She naturally would be with Sam gone.
00:33:53That aunt in the local paper must have been a last resort for her.
00:33:56But for me, it was a chance sent from heaven.
00:34:19I was only sure of one thing.
00:34:21My being here had nothing to do with the late Mr. Tevlin.
00:34:24Only with Mrs. Tevlin.
00:34:27I'd come because I'd seen a woman on a station platform.
00:34:30Now that I talked to her, I made up my mind I was going to be nearer.
00:34:35Even if Sam Tevlin came back from the dead to try and stop me.
00:34:47Well, hi, pal.
00:34:49How are you feeling this morning?
00:34:50Okay.
00:34:50I always feel okay.
00:34:52It's wild.
00:34:53That little paint your horse?
00:34:54Yep.
00:34:55What'd you catch him for?
00:34:56He likes to be let loose.
00:34:57Maybe you'd want to slap a saddle on him and ride out with him.
00:35:01I'll tell you why I can't go.
00:35:02There's Indians around here.
00:35:03No kidding.
00:35:04Sometimes they attack.
00:35:05Then I have to take care of them all, you see.
00:35:07Sure.
00:35:08Well, you do that.
00:35:10So long, Mike.
00:35:11See you tonight.
00:35:13So long.
00:35:26Did Mr. Brown ask you to go with him?
00:35:29I couldn't go.
00:35:30There's an attack.
00:35:34There's an attack.
00:35:39There's an attack.
00:35:44There's an attack.
00:35:47There's an attack.
00:35:49There's an attack.
00:35:51There's an attack.
00:35:51There's an attack.
00:35:51There's an attack.
00:35:51There's an attack.
00:35:52There's an attack.
00:35:55There's an attack.
00:35:57There's an attack.
00:37:29I'm going to dam that creek, so there'll be some water up that way when the bad months come.
00:37:32Well, it says when enough water gets in it, I can swim there.
00:37:36It's fine, but right now it's getting pretty near somebody's bedtime.
00:37:41Oh, gee, Ma.
00:37:42If you want to be a vicaro, you've got to take time out to go to sleep.
00:37:46Can't I fool around with some living a little while?
00:37:49Not tonight, honey.
00:37:51Mr. Brown has some work to do.
00:37:53You go along now.
00:37:56I'll be in later to read you that story.
00:38:06I was going to help him with that bridle he's making, but I guess it'll keep.
00:38:11It will have to keep.
00:38:13I have something else I want you to do.
00:38:17Will you come with me, please?
00:38:20Sure.
00:38:31I had the cold in here today, and he broke through the fence.
00:38:34I'd like you to fix it.
00:38:35Okay, I'll start first thing in the morning.
00:38:38I want it done now.
00:38:40Well, isn't it a little late to begin wrangling fences?
00:38:43When there's work to be done, you'll just have to do it.
00:38:45You expect to stay here.
00:38:48She had a real genius for concocting that kind of assignment.
00:38:53Every night after work and daytimes, too, if I had ten minutes to spare, she'd come up with something new.
00:38:58Generally, she'd find some excuse to be around and watch me.
00:39:01If she could have stood over me with a whip, that would have pleased her better still.
00:39:06I almost quit a hundred times, but always managed to hold out because I knew something was boiling inside her,
00:39:12eating her up, and I wanted to find out what it was.
00:39:16So I took everything she handed out, waited for the next move.
00:39:39All right, pal.
00:39:42Want to try it?
00:39:45Sure, come on.
00:39:48How do you put your fingers?
00:39:50Well, let's see.
00:39:51First one would be about like that.
00:39:56That's pretty good.
00:39:57A little farther back.
00:40:00Press harder.
00:40:02You do it.
00:40:03Tired already?
00:40:05All right, what'll be?
00:40:07The one you were playing.
00:40:09Oh, what about the doggies?
00:40:10You like that?
00:40:13As I was out walking one morning for pleasure, I spied a cowpuncher a-riding along.
00:40:22How his head was thrown back and spurred, was a jibber.
00:40:28As he approached me a-singin' this song.
00:40:32Yippee-tie-tie-yay-yo, get a long little doggie.
00:40:38It's your misfortune, but not my own.
00:40:44Yippee-tie-tie-yo, get a little blue.
00:40:50For you know that Wyoming will be your new home.
00:40:57Did you ever go to Wyoming?
00:41:00No, but I always had a hankering to.
00:41:02If you went, would you come back?
00:41:05Sure, you bet I would.
00:41:07Chances are I'm not going anyway.
00:41:11What's dead?
00:41:12I mean, what does it mean, dead?
00:41:15Dead?
00:41:17Well, that's when you're not here anymore.
00:41:20When you stop being what you are.
00:41:23When you start to be something else?
00:41:25I guess so, Mike. I don't know much about those things.
00:41:28Most people don't.
00:41:29My mom does.
00:41:31Does she?
00:41:32Yeah, she told me about it.
00:41:34My dad's not coming back anymore.
00:41:37I'm sorry.
00:41:38Well, that's okay. He's in heaven.
00:41:41Heaven. What a place.
00:41:43I bet you nothing happens up there much.
00:41:46Supposed to be all right.
00:41:49Those angels, they look like ladies. Are there men angels too?
00:41:53They're both kinds, I guess.
00:41:56They have spears.
00:41:58Sure they do. I saw it in the picture.
00:42:02I had a spear once, but I lost it.
00:42:05Michael.
00:42:07I'm out here with Lynn, Mom.
00:42:09Lynn, dear, it's bedtime.
00:42:11I'm coming.
00:42:14Doggone.
00:42:14Wish I hadn't lost that spear.
00:42:16I lost my bow and arrow too.
00:42:19It was a swell one.
00:42:20My dad made it for me.
00:42:22But he comes back here.
00:42:24When he's not coming back, I told you that.
00:42:29Can you make a bow and arrow?
00:42:32Well, I guess I could. I could sure try.
00:42:35Will you tomorrow?
00:42:37Well, yeah. Yeah, I will.
00:42:40Gee, thanks, Lynn.
00:42:42You better go on in now.
00:42:44Okay. You won't forget the bow and arrow, will you?
00:42:47No, I won't forget.
00:42:48You're a pal. Well, good night.
00:42:50Good night, son.
00:43:06There I was, moving into something I'd never bargained for.
00:43:10I was picking up a ready-made family for myself and loving it.
00:43:14All except one thing.
00:43:16Ellen wouldn't change her manner to me.
00:43:18At least when we were alone.
00:43:20In front of Mike, she was nice as pie.
00:43:22Can I go out and shoot now, Mom?
00:43:24Sure.
00:43:28You coming, Lynn?
00:43:29In a minute.
00:43:30I'm fixing to help your mother with these dishes.
00:43:32Dishes. Holy smoke.
00:43:40I can make out without help, thank you.
00:43:47How long do we have to keep on this way?
00:43:49I don't know what you mean.
00:43:51The way we are now, like strangers mashed together against their will,
00:43:54not knowing what to do about it.
00:43:56What would you suggest we do about it?
00:43:58We could act a little human once in a while.
00:44:02Like at the table, you never say a word to me except pass this, pass that.
00:44:07When the meal's through, no time for anything.
00:44:09I go to work, Mike goes to play, and you can sit around and talk a little bit.
00:44:16People do that.
00:44:18Just pour an extra cup of coffee.
00:44:20Or if you don't like that, we could go uptown.
00:44:23Sure.
00:44:24In the evenings.
00:44:25We could walk around the plaza and listen to the band.
00:44:28Look in the shop windows.
00:44:30Maybe even take in one of those old-time movies.
00:44:33Now, Mike would like that.
00:44:35We have no money to waste on shows.
00:44:37But we have to do something, don't you see?
00:44:39Even if we fight and yell and throw things.
00:44:42What should we fight about?
00:44:44About anything.
00:44:46And at least we prove that we're alive.
00:44:48This way, it's nothing.
00:44:49If days go by, I don't know where they go or what's wrong.
00:44:53It's like a sickness or like being goofy or something.
00:44:55We just stand still.
00:44:58You feel it too.
00:44:59You know what I mean.
00:45:01Or even hate would be-
00:45:02Hate?
00:45:03What do you know about hate?
00:45:05Well, not much, thank God.
00:45:06Hate can be sweeter than anything.
00:45:11You've hurt yourself.
00:45:13It's just a scratch.
00:45:43Can we go swimming, Ma?
00:45:46I thought you were having a big Indian war today.
00:45:49It's Sunday.
00:45:50You said we could swim at the damn Sundays.
00:45:52Oh, you can't go alone, dear.
00:45:53And I can't go with you.
00:45:55Oh, gee, Pablito can swim.
00:45:56He's going to teach me.
00:45:59Lynn has irrigation ditch all main and it's real deep.
00:46:02All right, go on.
00:46:04Keep it.
00:46:09I don't blame them.
00:46:10Oh, it's air.
00:46:11Wow.
00:46:12It's always that way this season.
00:46:14I'm short of going swimming with the kids.
00:46:16I don't know what to do about it myself.
00:46:17Plus, I use the family swimming pool here like Mike did yesterday.
00:46:21You're most welcome to it, I'm sure.
00:46:23You mean I have your gracious permission to dump myself?
00:46:26You know I don't care what you do.
00:46:29Oh, you're too kind.
00:46:30You can't miss a chance like this.
00:46:32Go, it's jazzy.
00:46:56Go, now.
00:47:01Go, now.
00:47:01Get ready to do the tears and cry.
00:47:26Oh, my God.
00:47:37Let's go.
00:48:02Let's go.
00:48:35Let's go.
00:48:37Let's go.
00:49:10Let's go.
00:49:15Let's go.
00:49:16Let's go.
00:49:32Let's go.
00:50:03Let's go.
00:50:22Let's go.
00:50:48Let's go.
00:50:51Let's go.
00:50:53What do you know about it?
00:50:54You speak as if you've been there.
00:50:56You were the one who started asking questions.
00:50:59Well, let me ask you something.
00:51:01Why did you shoot Sam when he had his hands up?
00:51:03He only had one up.
00:51:04I yelled at him.
00:51:07Nobody knew that.
00:51:09Nobody except...
00:51:10No one except you, Mr. Vanner.
00:51:13You and Sam.
00:51:15But Sam's dead, so that leaves you all by yourself.
00:51:17And you're quite right.
00:51:19There was no word about it in the clipping I read.
00:51:22Would you like to know how I found that out?
00:51:25I found out from Sam.
00:51:27They sent him home to me.
00:51:29You should remember that.
00:51:30You got a free ride with him.
00:51:33Well, I looked at Sam's body.
00:51:35A wife is apt to do that if her husband is sent home dead
00:51:38and she doesn't know what killed him.
00:51:40I saw where the bullet went in.
00:51:42Just below the muscle of the chest.
00:51:44His arm was raised when it hit because the muscle dropped over the hole
00:51:47and sealed it up.
00:51:48That's why he bled internally.
00:51:51Oh, yes, Mr. Vanner.
00:51:53I know how my husband died.
00:51:55You were a great hero.
00:51:57You were very brave that morning at Daybreak.
00:52:00Ellen.
00:52:02Won't you please go now?
00:52:04Ellen, everything you've said is true.
00:52:07I think I shot too soon.
00:52:09Oh, he yelled something at me, but I couldn't make out what it was.
00:52:12And I thought he was playing a trick on me and so I...
00:52:15Then you got the shakes.
00:52:16You were a coward and you killed because you were a coward.
00:52:19Believe me, it wasn't that...
00:52:20Men who get the shakes shouldn't go on posse rides.
00:52:22They should clean pigsties.
00:52:24They should crawl in the dirt.
00:52:26I've been doing those things.
00:52:28I thought you knew.
00:52:31I'll send you your share of the money when the stock is sold.
00:52:34I can get somebody else to round up for me.
00:52:37We were talking about Sam.
00:52:39I was with him when he died and he didn't ask for you.
00:52:42He asked for his mother.
00:52:44What's the point of telling me that?
00:52:45I'm telling you because his wifely loyalty doesn't fool me a bit.
00:52:49Sam didn't think of you when he was dying alone, groping for one thought or feeling that would help or
00:52:53comfort him.
00:52:54Don't you think most men would turn to their wives under such circumstances?
00:52:59I don't know.
00:52:59It depends on the man.
00:53:00And the woman.
00:53:01And the way they'd live together.
00:53:03Oh, it's a small thing.
00:53:04Might not mean anything at all.
00:53:05But it's part of the feeling I've had about you and Sam.
00:53:08It's hard to put into words, but it seems to me you two were strangers.
00:53:12Is that wrong?
00:53:13People can be married and even have a child and buy a ranch the way you did.
00:53:17Never like each other much or even know each other.
00:53:20From the looks of this place, I don't believe you spent a year all told here as your husband.
00:53:24It was more fun to buck the oil fields for a bankroll and make love to Tampico dancehall girls.
00:53:28Isn't that about the way it was between you two?
00:53:31Yes.
00:53:32That's just the way it was.
00:53:35But some women would kill you for saying so.
00:53:37But not you.
00:53:38People get punished for killing and you don't figure to get punished.
00:53:41You operate from your brains, not your feelings.
00:53:43You've let me work here knowing who I was because you needed me.
00:53:47Besides, what fun it was to ride me when I had no comeback, wasn't it?
00:53:51Sweet. It was wonderful.
00:53:53Yes, and the best of it was I couldn't hit you in the face and walk out on you for
00:53:56six months the way Sam used to.
00:53:58You didn't learn to hate men from me or from anything you found out about me.
00:54:01You learned from Sam.
00:54:02You've been saving something up against all men and you've enjoyed letting it out on me.
00:54:07Well, you've won, Mrs. Tamlin.
00:54:09Our partnership is washed up and you may keep my share of the profits, if any.
00:54:13With my compliments.
00:54:35Is that the way you say goodbye?
00:54:37Unless I'm saying hello.
00:54:43Hello, then.
00:54:50I don't know what love is, Father.
00:54:53Unless it's one person's recognition of another.
00:54:55Or one great experience that breaks down the walls of self.
00:54:59But we had it, Ellen and I.
00:55:02We'd begun at the place where most people never get.
00:55:06The final explanations.
00:55:07People pay for such explanations.
00:55:10But there are also rewards.
00:55:13Yes, Father.
00:55:14We found the greatest reward of all.
00:55:17Our marriage.
00:55:19In the name of the Father, and the Father, and the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit.
00:55:23Amen.
00:55:48I could hardly follow the priest's words because I kept thinking, he's mine now.
00:55:54She's mine.
00:55:56That day, I was sure the devils that had haunted me since I shot Sam Tevlin were gone for good.
00:56:01But they weren't through with me yet, Father.
00:56:04As I found out.
00:56:11Give me some advice.
00:56:12Not now.
00:56:13I want a big handful.
00:56:22Oh, Michael, you are a wonderful best man.
00:56:26Yeah, thanks for standing up with me, chum.
00:56:27Oh, that's okay.
00:56:28I got something wonderful.
00:56:29Yeah?
00:56:30Good luck, compadre.
00:56:31Oh, thanks.
00:56:32Here.
00:56:33What's that?
00:56:35Ellen, look at the wedding present Mike got us.
00:56:38Oh, they're beautiful.
00:56:39Can I try them on now?
00:56:41Oh, they'll fit.
00:56:41I caught one of your old boots for size.
00:56:43Oh, let me try them on anyway.
00:56:45Let's see.
00:56:46Here.
00:56:46Over here.
00:56:47Well, Anna, good luck.
00:56:49Thank you, Carly.
00:56:50Thanks, Father.
00:56:51I'm so happy.
00:56:51Well, I guess I'll get something out of that.
00:56:54Just perfect.
00:56:55Well, I guess I'll be seeing you later.
00:56:57Oh, well, they're really good.
00:56:58I'm a real cowboy now.
00:56:59What party?
00:57:01Absolutely perfect.
00:57:02You like the butterflies?
00:57:04They got real ones.
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06Well, they're the best looking pair of boots I ever saw.
00:57:08How about that?
00:57:09They're beautiful.
00:57:10Come here.
00:57:12What's that I hear about party?
00:57:14It's a surprise.
00:57:16Every wedding has to have a party afterwards.
00:57:19You have to have a reception.
00:57:20Reception?
00:57:21But who's coming?
00:57:22I don't know.
00:57:22Wanted, but you both don't know.
00:57:24That's a country club set.
00:57:33I feel like he's never found a father once a time.
00:57:40Sure.
00:57:41I?
00:57:44I feel like, it's not a place.
00:57:55Although he asks me.
00:57:55You think they're having a good time?
00:58:00Oh, damn.
00:58:02Oh, Juan's a little careless with that Milwaukee champagne.
00:58:25For your life, I'll give you permission first, the guile is being an animal.
00:59:08All right, compadre, you are through.
00:59:10Carlos takes over.
00:59:11Oh, easy, bridesmaid.
00:59:12This is our job.
00:59:13Pues, ándale, hombre, ándale.
00:59:15Go, little one.
00:59:16Go hold hands with your husband.
00:59:18You're an angel, Carlos.
00:59:19I could use a little hand holding.
00:59:26Un beso quiero dejar, ángel mío.
00:59:37Dime que sí, dime que sí, dime que sí.
00:59:50I hid out two plates of food first in the house.
00:59:54You're a smart woman.
00:59:56And a good cook.
00:59:57Oh, but wait a minute.
00:59:58I did the cooking.
00:59:59You did the car.
01:00:01Oh, yeah.
01:00:05Our first party.
01:00:06We're living.
01:00:09People say that for a joke.
01:00:12Yet it can mean so much.
01:00:15You were the one who made me realize I'd been alive without living.
01:00:19Even the hate I thought I had for you was a lie.
01:00:22I couldn't let myself admit I loved you.
01:00:25Do you?
01:00:27I feel as if tonight, all the nights and days ahead of us, were a wedding present from you.
01:00:36You've helped me, too.
01:00:37You know that.
01:00:38How?
01:00:40You made me quit running away.
01:00:43Were you running when you first came here?
01:00:46Why?
01:00:47You know why.
01:00:50But not now.
01:00:51You're not running now.
01:00:52You don't blame yourself for anything.
01:00:55No, I don't think so.
01:00:58Yet here's a funny twist.
01:01:00I only thought of it tonight.
01:01:02I'm in Sam's shoes, don't you see?
01:01:05It's as if a wheel were turning in a circle or something.
01:01:09Sam's wife.
01:01:11Sam's kid.
01:01:13But Sam.
01:01:15Then you haven't stopped running, darling.
01:01:17Not until you know Sam's shoes are on Sam's feet.
01:01:22You're wearing boots from a little boy that loves you.
01:01:26And you're married to a girl who never really was Sam's wife.
01:01:30Just as you told me.
01:01:32She's really yours.
01:01:34There is no pass.
01:01:36Nothing to remember.
01:01:38Just the two of us together now.
01:01:46Listen to those children.
01:01:48Doesn't sound like playing.
01:01:50Right, that's a scrap.
01:02:03Take it easy.
01:02:05Well, well, what's it all about?
01:02:08Oh, honey, maybe you better take him back with the others.
01:02:11Go on.
01:02:12Go on, Pablito.
01:02:13Come here, Sam.
01:02:15Tell me about it.
01:02:16What happened?
01:02:18Oh, this is just between us chums.
01:02:21No.
01:02:22Well, something must have happened.
01:02:26We said something.
01:02:28Oh, about you?
01:02:30About your mom and me?
01:02:33About my dad.
01:02:37Well, he was playing the moccasin game with those kids, and he heard one of them say he was the
01:02:41son of that bandito tablin.
01:02:43Oh, how terrible.
01:02:45I was hoping he wouldn't have to hear about it like that.
01:02:48How would we put it to sound any better?
01:02:51I don't know.
01:02:52Well, I suppose he'll have to be told someday.
01:02:55What should we tell him?
01:02:57The truth.
01:02:58His father was a stick-up man.
01:03:00I didn't think we knew the truth about that.
01:03:02Well, then you can't turn back now.
01:03:05You can't undo the past.
01:03:06No, but you can find out facts.
01:03:08There's blame you can put of where it belongs.
01:03:11Well, I've had this on my back for a year now.
01:03:14Away I had Sam when I took him down the pass.
01:03:17Why should he have stolen money?
01:03:18He wasn't a criminal.
01:03:19He could always get a job in the oil fields.
01:03:22In fact, I'll bet he was rail hitching back to Bolzer Granny looking for a job when the payroll car
01:03:26caught up with him, if it did.
01:03:28Another thing.
01:03:29Why was the posse and the police dragged through every cut and cane break between here and the coast instead
01:03:35of the mountains where I went?
01:03:37At the time, I thought it was just stupid, and yet it seemed wrong to me somehow even while I
01:03:41was riding after him.
01:03:44I'm sure someone in that posse never meant for him to be caught.
01:03:48There's a man alive somewhere who took that payroll and caused Sam's death, and I want him to pay.
01:04:05You can't forget, can you?
01:04:09All right.
01:04:10I don't want this hanging over our heads.
01:04:12Go and do it, and then come back to me.
01:04:22So I traveled back the way I'd come, only this time I paid for my ticket.
01:04:27I went to the company files and looked up everything they had about the hold-up.
01:04:31By the way, do you happen to remember the name of that guard?
01:04:35Do you know the one that was wounded?
01:04:37Well, there ought to be a medical report on him there, hadn't there?
01:04:40Hmm. Ought to be in here someplace.
01:04:45Valdez.
01:04:46That's it.
01:04:46That's it.
01:04:49Here we are.
01:04:52Corporal Valdez.
01:04:53All right.
01:05:09Buenas tardes.
01:05:11Buenas tardes, señor.
01:05:13You don't remember me, do you?
01:05:15You're not a stranger, señor.
01:05:17For I, since my wound, my memory is not so good.
01:05:21I know about that wound.
01:05:22I was an official at the Bolsa Grande company when you were brought in.
01:05:25I was the one who sent the doctor to take care of you.
01:05:28¿Usted?
01:05:29Ah, sí.
01:05:30Sí.
01:05:32Mr. Banner.
01:05:33Señor Valdez.
01:05:35I'd like to have a little talk with you.
01:05:37Couldn't we sit down and rest a while?
01:05:40Sí, señor.
01:05:44Do you like a cigarette?
01:05:46Muchas gracias.
01:05:49I'm glad you've made such a recovery.
01:05:51But I have serious news for you.
01:05:53My pension.
01:05:54Is it stopped?
01:05:55Well, I don't know anything about that, but the case concerning the holdup has been reopened.
01:05:59I'd like to ask you a few questions.
01:06:01It's a long time ago.
01:06:03Mr. Banner, my memory is banned.
01:06:05Well, I'll try to refresh it.
01:06:06Now, come on, sit down.
01:06:09Let's see, you were assigned with three men as an escort for Earl Mahoney, who was bringing the money.
01:06:13Yes, but that is all right.
01:06:14In the mountains, the car came up with an American who was walking the tracks.
01:06:17The reports say he had a tommy gun.
01:06:19Now, try to remember, did the gringo have the gun or did he take it from one of the guards?
01:06:23He had it with him, señor.
01:06:25He's plenty of a hombre, this bandido.
01:06:27Trackwalker with a machine gun.
01:06:29Strange nobody noticed that when you slowed down.
01:06:31A tommy gun doesn't fit in a man's pocket.
01:06:34He was hiding maybe underneath his clothes.
01:06:36Well, I'll tell you wrong.
01:06:37He grabbed it from one of the guards.
01:06:39Yes, I think he did that.
01:06:41You're lying, Valdez.
01:06:43Not this American, but somebody else had that gun and that person used it on you.
01:06:46You weren't meant to be found alive, and when you were, somebody warned you to keep your mouth shut.
01:06:51Warned you and paid you.
01:06:52Which is how you got that pension you spoke of a minute ago.
01:06:55Señor, I beg you...
01:06:55And since then, you've been afraid of every shadow, haven't you?
01:06:58Even had bad dreams about it.
01:06:59Dreams where you can see the man with the gun firing on the guards, your compañeros, and on you.
01:07:04Who are you protecting, Valdez?
01:07:05Who is the man with the gun?
01:07:07Who took the Bolsa Granny payroll?
01:07:09I must...
01:07:12I must ring the bell at the mission.
01:07:15All right, I'll wait.
01:07:21All right.
01:07:22All right.
01:08:28Strictly a shot in the dark.
01:09:01Nobody is allowed to drink in here.
01:09:14What do you wish, senor?
01:09:16Ten minutes in your files.
01:09:19I regret exceedingly.
01:09:20That will be impossible.
01:09:22Perhaps you need an opener.
01:09:35I'm sorry.
01:09:36There are positively no exceptions.
01:09:39That's disappointing.
01:09:42This beer is warm.
01:09:44I will get some ice for ten minutes.
01:09:46This is the file index.
01:09:48It is locked.
01:09:52The keys, you understand, are in a desk drawer.
01:09:57I forbid you to use them.
01:10:27I would like to see Mr. Mahoney.
01:10:29Step inside, sir.
01:10:37Mr. Mahoney in?
01:10:40He's busy.
01:10:42All right.
01:10:43I'll wait.
01:10:46You state your business, mister?
01:10:52Okay, have a talk with him and get back to me.
01:10:54I want a yes or no by 12 o'clock.
01:10:56You'll have it.
01:10:59You wish to see me?
01:11:01Hi, Mr. Mahoney.
01:11:03Lynn Vanner.
01:11:04Long time no see.
01:11:05Happy bed.
01:11:06Doing fair.
01:11:07Maybe a little better.
01:11:07No complaints at all.
01:11:08If so, I noticed.
01:11:09Earl C. Mahoney Enterprises.
01:11:12What's on your mind?
01:11:13I...
01:11:14Come on inside.
01:11:16I don't want to be disturbed.
01:11:22Huh.
01:11:23Quite a little place you've got here.
01:11:25Not bad, is it?
01:11:26I picked it up a while back from the estate of General Libera.
01:11:29Sit down.
01:11:32You know, it's kind of you to drop in.
01:11:34Would you have a spot of conya?
01:11:35Oh, thanks.
01:11:36I'll come right to the point.
01:11:38That old statement here I'd like you to glance over.
01:11:41Not trying to raise a little dough, are you?
01:11:43No, just straightening out some facts.
01:11:47Facts concerning the payroll holdup of the Bolsa-Grande company about a year ago.
01:12:03Tell me something.
01:12:04Yeah?
01:12:05Have you lost your mind?
01:12:07Why?
01:12:07Is there some inaccuracy?
01:12:09Inaccuracy?
01:12:10You state here that I, Earl C. Mahoney, planned and executed the Bolsa-Grande payroll robbery.
01:12:16That's right.
01:12:16That I myself machine-gunned six men and wounded Corporal Valdez.
01:12:20That I then hid out the money.
01:12:23And put the blame on an American oil worker whom we'd met trackwalking in the mountains.
01:12:27Sam Tablin.
01:12:28You hadn't figured on him, I'll admit.
01:12:30But finding him the way you did worked like a charm for your plan.
01:12:36You know, I get a kick out of this.
01:12:39What did you do?
01:12:41Dreaming up all by yourself?
01:12:42Not quite.
01:12:43I did some studying.
01:12:45As an oil operator, you were running into tough luck.
01:12:48Your finance company was almost broke.
01:12:50You had an auction on a new field that you thought would save you, but you didn't have
01:12:53the money to take it up.
01:12:55Two days after the robbery, you took it up, and that was the deal that made you rich.
01:12:59It's a photostat of the memorandum from your own files.
01:13:08So, one day I had no money, the next I had, sir.
01:13:11What's so unusual about that?
01:13:14You think for evidence like this I'm going to sign your confession, or whatever you call it?
01:13:18Yes, I think you will.
01:13:21You've got guts.
01:13:23I like that.
01:13:25What's the deal, Vanner?
01:13:27I want to clear a dead man's name.
01:13:29For clearing dead men's names, I pay 5,000 pesos.
01:13:32That's tops.
01:13:33Not enough.
01:13:34Ten.
01:13:35This deal won't cost you a cent, Mahoney.
01:13:37Except the price of a trip out of the country after you've signed that paper.
01:13:41I suggest you move fast, and once you're out of Mexico, you stay out.
01:13:44This country doesn't like Americans who ignore our laws.
01:13:49And if I don't sign?
01:13:52I think I'll change my mind about that brandy.
01:13:55Help yourself.
01:13:57You know, Vanner, you're a tough man, but you don't leave me much choice.
01:14:02I guess I'll have to play along with you.
01:14:18Get up.
01:14:23Come on, get up.
01:14:45Sure, I killed him in self-defense, and I should have called the cops and given myself up.
01:14:49Tried to make the story stick.
01:14:51Would have been a simple thing to do.
01:14:52I even thought of it, I guess, and yet I couldn't do it.
01:14:56I couldn't think straight anymore except to make sure that I had something to fight with if I got caught.
01:15:01And I didn't intend getting caught.
01:15:10Hey, he doesn't want to be disturbed.
01:15:13He told me to come back.
01:15:14Oh, you know best?
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:36Mr. Mahoney, I...
