00:01:35Let's head for the shade of those rocks.

00:01:42♪

00:01:47♪

00:01:52♪

00:01:55Hold them up, Price. We're losing some supplies back here.

00:01:58♪

00:02:04Seventy-five days in the saddle.

00:02:07Seventy-six.

00:02:09Thought I'd gotten away from cotton.

00:02:11Mouth feels full of it.

00:02:15Reckon we've been riding about seven hours since sun up.

00:02:19You reckon about seven?

00:02:20Yeah.

00:02:23You know what'd be welcome?

00:02:26A little fresh water.

00:02:28Ain't this lonesome territory got any water at all?

00:02:31See the top of that ridge over there?

00:02:33From the top of that ridge, you can see the valley.

00:02:36With all the shade you want and clean, cool water.

00:02:44Nursemaid and you all through the war.

00:02:46Cooking your dinners.

00:02:48Grooming your horse.

00:02:49Ducking shot and shell, same as you.

00:02:52Cap'n, however, let you sweet-talk me to come into this here Texas, I'll never know...

00:02:56♪

00:03:27♪

00:03:43This the old south or the new west?

00:03:46Dandy odds.

00:03:48Three against one.

00:03:57So you come across the border to steal cattle, eh?

00:04:01How many more of you mescalator out in these hills?

00:04:05You Indians likes to steal everything, don't you?

00:04:08Well, we're gonna teach you a lesson that you don't steal cattle or anything from Mr. Kirk.

00:04:17What they gonna do to him?

00:04:19Looks like they gonna drag him.

00:04:27They gonna kill that poodle.

00:04:31What are those idiots doing?

00:04:32Trying to put Indians on the war path?

00:04:35That's what we come all the way out here.

00:04:37Get away from them.

00:04:48That finishes that damn escalero.

00:04:50Let's ride out of here.

00:04:56Let's go.

00:05:26Let's go.

00:05:57Shishove.

00:05:59Shishove.

00:06:01What's all that mean?

00:06:03Shishove means friend.

00:06:09Don't look all that friendly to me.

00:06:12He's one tough Indian.

00:06:14Hope his friends ain't in the neighborhood and think we did the dragging.

00:06:19You were out here last year, you know the deal.

00:06:21What did that signal mean?

00:06:23He got me.

00:06:24Probably means next time we meet him, he'll kill us.

00:06:27Oh.

00:06:29Oh.

00:06:52Oh.

00:07:01What are you doing?

00:07:02Don't let them get the other one.

00:07:03Hey!

00:07:05Let me go.

00:07:12Hey!

00:07:15Let me go.

00:07:16Let me go.

00:07:18I said let me go.

00:07:51♪

00:08:17Ooh.

00:08:22Howdy, strangers.

00:08:24What can I do for you?

00:08:26Well, a little bit of everything.

00:08:28Well, except the burying.

00:08:30Oh, horses.

00:08:31Equine department.

00:08:34Be with you as soon as I get dressed proper.

00:08:42This, gentlemen, is my business hat.

00:08:45See C. Depweiler at your service.

00:08:47Major.

00:08:48We got us eight trail-weary animals here.

00:08:51A pair of two-legged ones.

00:08:52So I see.

00:08:53How far you come?

00:08:55I want to get them all fed.

00:08:56Oats and bran, whatever it takes.

00:08:58Check the shoes all around.

00:08:59I'm losing this one right here.

00:09:01Well, it's two bits a head for feed.

00:09:03Four bits to inspect the horses' shoes.

00:09:06A dollar to inspect the pack animals.

00:09:08A dollar?

00:09:09That's twice as much.

00:09:11Pack animals can kick you twice as far as them saddle horses.

00:09:15That makes sense.

00:09:16Mr. Depweiler charges about a foot.

00:09:18I want to try to ride out about sunset.

00:09:21Not too impressed with our town, eh, boys?

00:09:24Well, give us about a year.

00:09:27Where you heading?

00:09:31We're heading down along San Pedro.

00:09:34That's quite a bite, mister.

00:09:36Mr. Depweiler, where's the land off?

00:09:39Bank of the bank here.

00:09:40Can't miss it.

00:09:41And how about the best grub?

00:09:43Well, there's not much choice.

00:09:45Kirk's Hotel.

00:09:47And, um, well, um,

00:09:50where's the place a fella can pass the time?

00:09:54You mean for two growing boys, eh?

00:09:57Yes.

00:09:58Well, I tell you, fellas,

00:09:59there's quad playing and there's lady playing,

00:10:02if you get my drift.

00:10:03Over there, roundhouse Jenny's behind those buildings,

00:10:06about a quarter of a mile.

00:10:08Really round.

00:10:10Can't miss it.

00:10:11Hard to miss Jenny, too.

00:10:13She's a very broad-minded lady, gents.

00:10:16She don't bar coloreds or mixes or nobody,

00:10:20except Indians, of course.

00:10:22That's it.

00:10:24Well, now, look, you fellas go on in to town and have some fun.

00:10:27Don't worry about a thing.

00:10:28We're real professionals.

00:10:30So's my staff.

00:10:31Wranglers!

00:10:32Come on, go over there and take care of those pack animals.

00:10:35Come on, fellas, let's get to it.

00:10:37Come on, Pedro.

00:10:43I'll pay you later, C.C.

00:10:45Add an extra ten cents on the bill for licorice for you wranglers.

00:10:48That's white.

00:11:16Right?

00:11:28Anything I can do for you, Doc?

00:11:30No, thank you, sir.

00:11:33I'm all ready to go.

00:11:35Like I said, Doc, this is a hell of a fancy rig

00:11:39just to be pulling bullets out of folks.

00:11:42I would like to think I could offer a bit more help than that.

00:11:49Where there is a love of man, there's also a love of the arts.

00:11:52The art of medicine.

00:11:54Well, I'll take your word for it.

00:11:56Tell me, Doc, how does a man of your caliber wind up here?

00:12:01I left my homeland, Germany, to find a new life in a new country.

00:12:05Well, you take my advice, Doc.

00:12:08You specialize in bullet wounds and babies

00:12:11and you make a fortune in Texas.

00:12:19Howdy, C.C.

00:12:21Dr. Hendrick.

00:12:23Mr. Kirk told me to tell you that he'll meet up with you back at the ranch.

00:12:26Now, take this year road out of town until you get to the fork.

00:12:29Take the ride until you get to the big house.

00:12:31You can't miss it.

00:12:32Thank you, sir.

00:12:35Come on, Doc.

00:12:37If you ever need anything, come back here.

00:12:39Thank you, sir. Bye-bye.

00:12:40Hey, Carl. Mr. Kirk sick?

00:12:42Hell, no. Wipe that smile off your face.

00:12:44He never gets sick.

00:12:46The Doc's for the girl.

00:12:48So now I know.

00:12:58What?

00:13:01Come on, Bryce. Sit down.

00:13:04Sit down?

00:13:06Yeah.

00:13:08Law says I can sit down.

00:13:13Oh, real food.

00:13:25What's the matter?

00:13:27You gotta help me.

00:13:29I can read reading, but I can't read writing.

00:13:31Oh, you see this right here?

00:13:33S-T...

00:13:34State.

00:13:35You won't have to go no further.

00:13:38Times change. You know, times change.

00:13:41Oh, don't say it's just.

00:13:43Folks bringing me dinner, me sitting here with Jude.

00:13:47I remember it was about five years ago you was about ready to work 16,000 acres.

00:13:52Now you barely got a toehold on a section.

00:13:55Well, maybe we're both better off, Bryce.

00:13:59Howdy, Mr. Quill. I'm Andy Ames.

00:14:02Welcome to the territory.

00:14:04Howdy.

00:14:07Reckon you must have heard the name of Alexander Kirk.

00:14:10Oh, I've seen it. I've heard it all over town.

00:14:14Yeah, well, he's our most prominent citizen.

00:14:17And a landowner and cattleman.

00:14:20Now, he likes to welcome any newcomers to the gap.

00:14:23Well, that's mighty friendly.

00:14:27Mr. Kirk's waiting for you in his office right now.

00:14:30I reckon you must have noticed this is Mr. Kirk's hotel.

00:14:34We don't talk so good on the empty belly.

00:14:37I wasn't talking to you, boy.

00:14:46Listen, Quill, I don't think you understand.

00:14:49Mr. Kirk wants to see you right now.

00:14:52Not after you had the dinner.

00:14:54Whoa, I wouldn't slap leather just quite so quick if I was you, Mr., uh...

00:14:59Ames.

00:15:01Ames.

00:15:03You see, my partner has already beat you to the draw.

00:15:06And he's got it pointed right about there where your body's touching the table.

00:15:18All right.

00:15:21We'll do it your way.

00:15:23This time.

00:15:29Well, you did that mighty smooth.

00:15:34You had a mighty smooth teacher.

00:15:37Surprise.

00:15:39Now, you figure that man knew my name.

00:15:42I don't know.

00:15:44I do know he was one of them three guys.

00:15:54Mr. Kirk.

00:16:16Morning, sir.

00:16:18Mr. Kirk said for you to go on ahead and make yourself a home.

00:16:21You'll be by later. We'll take care of your team.

00:16:24Thank you, sir.

00:16:46Well, how about it, you fool?

00:16:49My belly's thinking about it.

00:16:52I reckon we ought to see what this is all about.

00:16:57Hope we didn't keep you.

00:16:59Follow me.

00:17:09Here they are, Mr. Kirk.

00:17:13Mr. Quill.

00:17:15Welcome to Eagle Gap.

00:17:17I'm Al Kirk.

00:17:19And you...

00:17:21You're Enterprise Jackson?

00:17:24That's right.

00:17:26All the way from the Deep South.

00:17:28Well, a trip like that will give a man a real thirst.

00:17:31Help yourself, Mr. Quill.

00:17:33I don't know, Enterprise. What do you think?

00:17:36You got room for a beer after all that food?

00:17:39Well, with somebody else buying.

00:17:41You bet.

00:17:43It's my ramrod, Ames.

00:17:45Oh, yes, sir. We met.

00:17:47Yeah, so I heard. Put him in kind of a bad mood.

00:17:50Sit down, Mr. Quill.

00:17:56Now, sir, how would you like to start off

00:17:59halfway up the ladder with me right now

00:18:02instead of trying to scratch a livelihood out of some barren land?

00:18:06Instead of trying to scratch a livelihood out of some barren land.

00:18:09The land agent.

00:18:11Should have guessed.

00:18:12That old boy must have a mighty fast tongue.

00:18:15Well, I do make it a point to try to get a line

00:18:18on any stranger that comes through these parts.

00:18:21Mr. Quill.

00:18:23That's miserable land.

00:18:25That is dangerous country.

00:18:27The Apache are always coming up from Chihuahua.

00:18:30And then the damn Mexes slip through

00:18:32and they'll steal you blind.

00:18:34Even Matt Fitzgerald, a very sensible man,

00:18:37he couldn't make a go of it.

00:18:39Well, prize and me, we figure we can handle it.

00:18:43Well, you are not the first dreamer that filed down there.

00:18:47Look, I'll tell you what I'll do.

00:18:49Former officer like you,

00:18:52I'll start you off at ramrod.

00:18:55That's $75 a month.

00:18:59And I'll throw in a brand-new saddle.

00:19:01Now, is that a deal?

00:19:03Well, Mr. Kirk, prize and me,

00:19:05we file for our own land and we plan to make it work.

00:19:07I've got an obligation to my partner.

00:19:11Well, you sure are one funny kind of southern gentleman.

00:19:16All right.

00:19:17I'll find something for him to do.

00:19:21Did you ever work inside your master's home,

00:19:24like serving or cooking?

00:19:27Hey, that's a good idea.

00:19:30Kirk's hotel with its own darky, all dressed up fancy.

00:19:34Yeah.

00:19:36You offering me a job?

00:19:38I'll give you $25 a month.

00:19:41And food.

00:19:43Plus tips.

00:19:46Well, I just might be interested.

00:19:48Yes, I just might.

00:19:50If you can see your way clear to set me up in business.

00:19:53A livery stable, say.

00:19:55One in town is the only one without the name Kirk on it.

00:20:00You run a business?

00:20:02Oh, yes, sir.

00:20:03I know horses better than you know the inside of your head.

00:20:07Kirk's hotel needs a darky.

00:20:10I've got no use for some uppity negra asking to be my partner.

00:20:15Thanks for the beer.

00:20:17Come on, prize.

00:20:19I'm trying to do you a favor.

00:20:21That San Pedro land is no place for a little homesteader.

00:20:24A lot of cows graze up there.

00:20:27Me, my double K brand.

00:20:29I've got 1,200 head now.

00:20:31It's gonna be 1,500 before long and double that next year.

00:20:35Well, you set a mighty good example for us little homesteaders.

00:20:40Well, I've also got me 50 of the toughest cowboys this side of Laredo.

00:20:45Mister, they've been known to kill a man for just one little calf.

00:20:50Now, how many men do you figure you're gonna have?

00:20:54During the war between the states, mister,

00:20:58I learned it didn't always matter who had the most men.

00:21:02Quite often, it was the fewest men

00:21:04whose battle flag was still flying after the smoke cleared.

00:21:08It's usually because they believed in something.

00:21:13Well, around here, it's my flag that folks respect.

00:21:18Thanks for the beer and the hospitality.

00:21:23Mister Quell, have you ever seen a real stampede yet?

00:21:27It sort of reminds me of General Sherman marching through Georgia.

00:21:39Yeah, boy.

00:21:52You suppose Jenny can be as good as that steak?

00:21:56Or just as satisfying?

00:22:06Look at that. That's the fanciest place I've seen west of New Orleans.

00:22:10Hell, after 10 weeks on that trail, any place will look fancy.

00:22:14Come on. I'm dying.

00:22:18Well, come on in. Jenny's always open.

00:22:27Two new cards for the deck.

00:22:30House rules. No offense, boys.

00:22:38That's three.

00:22:46All working for Kurt.

00:22:50Say, handsome, where you all from?

00:22:53Well, judging by your draw, little lady,

00:22:55it sounds like we just might be from the same neighborhood.

00:22:58Mississippi?

00:23:00You stand tall like an army man.

00:23:02What else?

00:23:03Cavalry. Third Mississippi Regulars.

00:23:06Do you know Jimmy Staley? Major Jimmy Staley?

00:23:08Do I know Jimmy Staley? We rode side by side for three years.

00:23:11I reckon I know the man.

00:23:13Oh, good Lord almighty.

00:23:15Honey, you and I are going up to my private parlor,

00:23:17and we're going to have some good old southern bourbon,

00:23:19and, you know, rest later.

00:23:21Nancy!

00:23:23Do take care of this gentleman of color,

00:23:26because I'm going to be tied up for a long, good while.

00:23:31Welcome to Jenny's, soldier.

00:23:44So, do you see anything you like?

00:23:47But I ain't seen enough yet.

00:23:49Watch how you work.

00:23:50You buy me a beer, and you can look all you want.

00:24:18Boy, you're bluffing me all day.

00:24:25I'll call you a lousy $10.

00:24:38How can a man get a good hand around here with all these Jesus?

00:24:43I can remember when niggers and Mexicans

00:24:45weren't allowed in the same room with a white man,

00:24:48except to shine his shoes.

00:24:57You're going to have a choice, senor.

00:25:03Come on.

00:25:04Which one of us do you want?

00:25:06Ah, he's all mine.

00:25:09Ah, he's all mine.

00:25:13That's what you think.

00:25:23True to your race.

00:25:25No fighting you.

00:25:33Get back on the table. Come on.

00:25:37Come on, brother.

00:25:38Give me a chance to get my money back.

00:25:49Don't mind Carl. He doesn't mean anything.

00:25:52But I sure hope I do.

00:25:55You know, I sure hope you and your friend will drop in more often.

00:26:05Say, what did you say your name was?

00:26:09Enterprise Jackson.

00:26:13Named after two big cities.

00:26:16But my friends call me Prize.

00:26:18Oh, yeah?

00:26:19My Prize.

00:26:22I like that.

00:26:39I want to change my luck, woman. Upstairs. Come on.

00:26:42Carl, I'm busy.

00:26:43You're going to be busy, but with me, woman. Upstairs. Come on.

00:26:48You're lying, mister.

00:26:50Says who?

00:26:51Upstairs, woman.

00:26:53And you, boy, you're asking for it.

00:26:56Then let's just step outside.

00:26:58That's a very good idea.

00:27:08Carl!

00:27:29What is going on down there?

00:27:31Oh, who cares, honey?

00:27:33I'm only interested in what's going on up here.

00:27:39Come on.

00:27:49Come on.

00:28:08Come on.

00:28:38Come on.

00:28:46Pardon me.

00:28:59Look out!

00:29:03Oh, pardon me!

00:29:08Come on.

00:29:17There's a dozen cowboys upstairs!

00:29:19You guys, get the hell out of here!

00:29:21Get out! Get out!

00:29:26Well, come on!

00:29:32Boy, he hit me first down. I've been honest.

00:29:34Yeah.

00:29:39Come on, hurry up.

00:29:46Hey, amigos, plenty of room.

00:29:48Where to?

00:29:49How about the liver stable?

00:29:50Bueno, that's where my horse is.

00:29:52Come on.

00:29:58Hurry up, amigos.

00:30:01Hang on.

00:30:09Come on.

00:30:23Man, you boys must have had yourselves quite a time.

00:30:25That was dandy.

00:30:26Yeah, just dandy. Will that cover it?

00:30:28What's the point?

00:30:30Hey, CC, thanks for taking care of my horse and for the carriage.

00:30:34I want to thank you for what you did back there.

00:30:36Ah, I do not like unfair odds.

00:30:38And I have no use for those lice who always works for the mighty Alexander Kirk.

00:30:44You got a handle?

00:30:45I'm Paco. Paco Romero.

00:30:49Enterprise Jackson.

00:30:50I'm Jonathan Quayle.

00:30:53You're Mexican, ain't you?

00:30:54Glad I am.

00:30:55Something tells me, amigo, that neither you nor I can ever pretend to be gringo.

00:31:03What?

00:31:11Any of them Kirk fellas ask me, I'll tell them you went that-a-way.

00:31:20Good luck, fellas.

00:31:25They're going to need all they can get.

00:31:33Get in there, fellas.

00:32:03Hold him up. Let's let him breathe.

00:32:33I hope you muchachos are traveling very far, because, uh, those Kirk cowboys have a long memory.

00:33:02Not too far.

00:33:04That old Fitzgerald place.

00:33:06I know that well.

00:33:09If you and your friends are going to fix up that old place, uh, maybe a damn fool Mexican might come in handy.

00:33:16Huh?

00:33:17Well, maybe a damn fool Mexican might just come in handy at that.

00:33:21You look like a dude with money.

00:33:23What business you in?

00:33:25I got a little business in Mexico.

00:33:27I got a little business in Juarez.

00:33:29A little business around here.

00:33:32But somehow, amigo, everywhere I got business, I always got trouble too.

00:33:38Oh? How come?

00:33:40I ask myself that same question all the time.

00:33:43The only thing I can figure out is, mixed up in the middle of all this business, and all the troubles,

00:33:50there is always somehow, uh, pretty señoritas.

00:33:57Well, me and Prize, we decided we're going to stick it out down here on the San Pedro.

00:34:01I mean, come good grass or bad, come dust or a downpour.

00:34:05Bueno. I would like to stick it out with men like you.

00:34:08And San Pedro Creek is a region I know like the back of my hand.

00:34:12I used the old mezcalero crossing all my life.

00:34:15Into Mexico, back into the States.

00:34:17Why you want to trade in those fancy duds for the sweat of homesteading?

00:34:21Amigo, in my old age, I ought to settle down.

00:34:26Well, with those Kirk cowboys, and the look of that well-worn pistol,

00:34:32looks like we just voted you in, Paco.

00:34:35But we don't have to rush into anything.

00:34:37Why don't we just try it for a while and see how we all like it?

00:34:41That is exactly what all my pretty muchachas tell me to.

00:34:47Well.

00:35:08Welcome to the Double K, Dr. Hedrick.

00:35:10Your house, sir.

00:35:11Oh, don't wish that on too many folks. You'll be out of business.

00:35:18Oh, excellent wine, Mr. Kirk. It is German, isn't it?

00:35:21By God, there are some people that can taste the difference.

00:35:24You're damn right that's German, and that's especially for you.

00:35:27And the glass is chilled, just like them fancy restaurants.

00:35:31I dug the deepest, coldest well in the state.

00:35:34I'm flattered, sir.

00:35:36So, how soon do you think you can handle the problem?

00:35:41Oh, don't worry about Maria. She still doesn't speak very much English.

00:35:44Doctor, please sit down.

00:35:45Thank you, sir.

00:35:46Maria, please.

00:35:48Mr. Kirk, your letter stated your fiancée has been unwell since she came to visit you.

00:35:55Oh, Angela isn't visiting here.

00:35:57She moved here from St. Louis.

00:35:59And we're going to be married just as soon as she's up to it.

00:36:04But, I don't know, Doc.

00:36:07Hell, nobody knows.

00:36:09She's cold like this marble.

00:36:12She's got no pep, no energy.

00:36:16You know what I'm talking about, Doc.

00:36:18The kind of sparkle I mean.

00:36:19The pep that a man is entitled to get from a woman.

00:36:24Tell us, how soon do you reckon you can have her looking and acting like she was when I met her?

00:36:28I practice medicine, sir.

00:36:30I do not prophesy.

00:36:31I haven't even met the lady.

00:36:33Then the doctor and the lady should meet at once.

00:36:35Doc, this is Angela.

00:36:38Angela Richardson.

00:36:39Honey, this is your new doctor.

00:36:41Dr. Hedrick.

00:36:43Dr. Hedrick?

00:36:44How do you do, Miss Richardson?

00:36:45Oh, I do very poorly, to everyone's disappointment.

00:36:48Please, sit down.

00:36:52Honey, I told you, you shouldn't be up.

00:36:54The sooner Dr. Hedrick learns about me, the sooner we can all return to normal.

00:37:00Don't you agree, Doctor?

00:37:01Well, I'm paying the doctor $10 a day.

00:37:04I'm not sure if he's going to be in a hurry or not.

00:37:07Cash on the barrelhead, Doc.

00:37:10He and I have a lot to discuss, honey.

00:37:12And you know how you're always telling me how important rest is to females.

00:37:16Yes, then I shall return to my room like a good little girl.

00:37:21Only first, I must refill our guest's empty glass.

00:37:29You know, everybody I checked you out with, Doc, they all said that you were about the only doctor in these parts that had any experience with these new fandangled discoveries in Europe and Boston.

00:37:38So you know me, Al Kirk.

00:37:41Always by the best.

00:37:44At last, sir.

00:37:46Thank you, ma'am.

00:37:48Yes, Mr. Kirk, you're quite right. I do feel a little weak.

00:37:53Well, I shall leave you two gentlemen to make any arrangements concerning my examinations.

00:37:57You just get a good rest, honey.

00:38:02Doctor, I look forward to seeing you.

00:38:07Auf Wiedersehen.

00:38:13Damn, but I want her healthy.

00:38:16A man's bride-to-be, not up to any affection.

00:38:21I got top mares throwing top colts. I got top cows throwing top calves.

00:38:26I got every kind of offspring that I want except the two-legged kind.

00:38:31Doc, please, help me.

00:39:07Well, here she is, gentlemen, for better or for worse.

00:39:26A cavalry captain like you, you'd spot how easy this is to defend.

00:39:30Them gullies and walls hold off anybody, whole regiment in.

00:39:37Ah, que bella vista.

00:39:44I don't know what that means, but it's like home to me.

00:39:48Yeah? Well, you go up into these hills, you're going to find the graves of some people who thought just the same way.

00:39:53In fact, there's one of their names right here on this claim.

00:39:56They just weren't strong enough to hold on to it, that's all.

00:40:01Well, all we got is some bare land in our bare hands.

00:40:06You think you gentlemen want to back out?

00:40:08Jamás. Never, amigo.

00:40:11Right there, we will build a ranch house, not a hacienda.

00:40:15But then, next to it, right there, we will build a Mexican chapel.

00:40:21All right, compañeros?

00:40:23All right with me.

00:40:25Sounds good to me, Paco.

00:40:31Well, a rider.

00:40:33Ah, it's only one of them.

00:40:35That half breed, of course.

00:40:37He's keeping an eye on us.

00:40:39Oh, we picked up that old boy coming out of town.

00:40:42Yeah?

00:40:43Well, how come somebody didn't tell me?

00:40:45Well, I'm telling you now.

00:40:47Well, how come I'm always the last one to know?

00:40:51Come on, come on, Mueller.

00:40:53You spot something suspicious, why don't you let me know?

00:40:55I'm a partner, ain't I?

00:40:57Well, my partner, that's part of something.

00:41:09Once more, please.

00:41:13You may put on your blouse, ma'am.

00:41:16Please, tell me.

00:41:18You are anemic, as you suspected, and...

00:41:22Gracias, Maria. Mas cafe.

00:41:31I wish I could speak German.

00:41:33You are very suspicious.

00:41:35What did that cryptic message mean?

00:41:39I have to trust you.

00:41:41I have to trust someone.

00:41:43There's no one else.

00:41:45Please, help me get away from here.

00:41:48When you go, take me with you.

00:41:50Are you serious?

00:41:51Oh, please, Dr. Henry, can't you see?

00:41:54I'm a prisoner here.

00:41:56Why not merely tell Mr. Kirk?

00:41:58I wished to go back to my father in St. Louis, wasn't it?

00:42:01Mr. Kirk has bought me from my father.

00:42:07My father owed one of the Kirk banks $4,000.

00:42:10He couldn't pay that.

00:42:12So Mr. Kirk came to our little farm,

00:42:14intended to take it over, of course,

00:42:16and took a liking to me.

00:42:19He was fascinated by my English background.

00:42:22What did you think about it?

00:42:25Well, I found him rather jolly.

00:42:28He was rough and crude, but he laughed a lot.

00:42:31He showered us with presents.

00:42:33And he told my father that if two men could see eye to eye,

00:42:37then any problem could be worked out.

00:42:41Oh, Mr. Kirk made it sound very normal.

00:42:43So it was agreed that as a wedding present,

00:42:46as a gesture of joining the family,

00:42:49Mr. Kirk would forgive the debt.

00:42:51And you accepted to save your father.

00:42:53Yes, but...

00:42:58But his demands have changed.

00:43:01Mr. Kirk will not set a date for the wedding

00:43:04until I am pregnant.

00:43:06What?

00:43:07He wants to set up an empire here in Texas

00:43:10to found a dynasty.

00:43:13He didn't select me because he was attracted to me.

00:43:16Because my pedigree was satisfactory.

00:43:18My bloodlines meet his standards.

00:43:21He will use me to bear his sons.

00:43:23But...

00:43:24But Mr. Kirk is too shrewd

00:43:26to commit all his holdings to a wife

00:43:28until there is an heir.

00:43:30He could die.

00:43:32And then I, his wife, would own everything.

00:43:37No.

00:43:39Until I am pregnant with his child,

00:43:44there will be no ceremony.

00:43:47Is he impossible to be accepted

00:43:50as the father of your children, as your husband?

00:43:53I cringe when he touches me.

00:43:58I can't tell you some of the things.

00:44:00You must insist. You have to go home.

00:44:03He will ruin my father.

00:44:05He'll kill me.

00:44:35How do you like that print?

00:44:37It's just beautiful.

00:44:39Amigos, there is something much better to brand

00:44:42than an old board.

00:44:44You said it, Paco.

00:44:45Cattle. Let's do some rustling.

00:44:47Oh, ho, you two go and liberate any cattle

00:44:49and we're going to have ourselves some visitors.

00:44:51And I mean with lynch ropes.

00:44:53And muchachos, I never thought

00:44:55I'd see you here.

00:44:57I'm sorry, Paco.

00:44:59I didn't mean to offend you.

00:45:01I'm sorry, Paco.

00:45:03And muchachos, I never take anything from anybody

00:45:06except from señoritas

00:45:08who insist that I take it.

00:45:10Now, you remember I told you

00:45:12I have some old friends in Mexico?

00:45:14They owe me a certain obligation.

00:45:16I suggest that the two of us,

00:45:18right across the grandy, to collect.

00:45:20Well, I don't know.

00:45:22You think it's safe?

00:45:23Well, if Kirk or anyone had wanted to make a move,

00:45:26they would before now.

00:45:28Jonathan, ain't seen no hostile nowhere.

00:45:31Besides, we had a stopping place here.

00:45:33We need lots of necessaries.

00:45:35See, one of you will ride with me

00:45:37and the other one goes into town

00:45:39for nails, cloth, and horseshoes.

00:45:41Uh, medicine?

00:45:42Sure, a hundred proof.

00:45:43Look, I don't think it's such a good idea

00:45:45for just one of us to go into town either.

00:45:47You just duck in and duck out

00:45:49and keep your eyes peeled.

00:45:50I will flip a coin.

00:45:51The winner comes with me

00:45:53and the other one goes into the gap.

00:45:55Call it.

00:45:56Heads.

00:45:58The winner gets to sneak in some time

00:46:00around House Denny.

00:46:01You just duck in and duck out.

00:46:04Just duck in and duck out.

00:46:06Just duck in, duck out.

00:46:09Duck in to Denny.

00:46:11Don't know about ducking out.

00:46:16Is everything all right?

00:46:17Was breakfast all right?

00:46:18Do you need anything?

00:46:19Not a thing, thank you, sir.

00:46:21Did you look in on her?

00:46:22The maid indicated she was still asleep.

00:46:24The best possible news, I think.

00:46:27You get on back to the barn.

00:46:29I'll take over from here.

00:46:30I just wish to hell you didn't have to go

00:46:33set that damn hip in Laredo.

00:46:35But you knew when I arrived,

00:46:37my time was limited.

00:46:38Mr. Kirk, I'll do all within my power

00:46:41to help Miss Richardson.

00:46:42I only ask that you respect her feelings

00:46:46and give her sufficient time to improve.

00:46:51I just want her well

00:46:53and I expect you to make her well.

00:46:55I never forget anybody that does me a favor.

00:46:57That's just like I never forget anybody that crosses me.

00:47:01Well, I must be on my way.

00:47:16I'll see you at the end of the month.

00:47:20Oh, going through town,

00:47:21take a look at my new building.

00:47:23Think about setting up your office.

00:47:39So long, Doc. Have a good trip.

00:47:41Thank you, sir.

00:47:42What do you want, Maria?

00:47:44Hold it a minute, Doc.

00:47:50Well?

00:47:51El medico, señor.

00:47:56It's better than forgetting it inside some patient, huh, Doc?

00:48:00Gracias, Maria.

00:48:22I'll be back as soon as possible.

00:48:25Hey, you take care of yourself now, yeah?

00:48:28Just gonna duck in and duck out.

00:48:48Duck in, duck out.

00:48:50Stay out of sight.

00:48:52Keep it peaked. I can handle myself.

00:48:55I got horse sense.

00:48:57You sense, too.

00:49:20Come on.

00:49:39Come on, get up.

00:49:47All right?

00:49:48You can come out. We are safe now.

00:49:58My God, don't drink so fast.

00:50:06Carefully.

00:50:11I'm sorry.

00:50:13You're mad.

00:50:14I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.

00:50:15I should never have endangered you.

00:50:17What are you going to do now?

00:50:20Get as far away from here as I can.

00:50:27When did you do it? On how?

00:50:29At dawn.

00:50:30When a night hawk had gone into breakfast.

00:50:33Everyone else was asleep.

00:50:36What about Maria?

00:50:39I told her I was taking a sleeping potion.

00:50:42That she wasn't to wake me in the morning because I was going to sleep as long as I could.

00:50:46Someone heard my prayers.

00:50:58All right, all right. You can stay.

00:51:17Jonathan, this is the Mexico I'm proud of.

00:51:25You see this?

00:51:27Built in the 1500s.

00:51:29Always owned by the same family.

00:51:33You see this?

00:51:35Built in the 1500s.

00:51:37Always owned by the same family.

00:51:54This is where your friends live, huh?

00:51:56Yes, one of their homes.

00:51:59Jonathan, you have told me that your plantation was as grand as this.

00:52:03No, it's nothing like this.

00:52:05Well, just who lives here?

00:52:07Frankly, she's a very attractive widow.

00:52:12Very beautiful and very friendly.

00:52:14Well, just how friendly is she, Paco?

00:52:18Just between us, we have shared the same bed.

00:52:21Oh, you...

00:52:24Paco! Paco!

00:52:26You're finally here!

00:52:29Well, I'm glad to see you.

00:52:31Paco, I can't believe this!

00:52:34Of course!

00:52:35I mean, goodbye, Paco.

00:52:40We've missed you so much.

00:52:41Are you going to tell me who your friend is?

00:52:43So, I can welcome him properly.

00:52:45Oh, you haven't changed a bit.

00:52:47May I present to you my North American friend, Captain Jonathan Quayle.

00:52:52Senora Teresa Romero and Senorita Pilar Romero.

00:52:57My mother and my little sister.

00:53:05You are more than welcome here, my friend.

00:53:08Please, come inside.

00:53:09Gracias, Senora.

00:53:18You will have to tell me what my brother has been doing.

00:53:21I cannot believe a word he says.

00:53:23Senorita, it will be a pleasure.

00:53:27Well, you heard what my mother said.

00:53:31Mi casa es su casa.

00:53:52Whoa! Whoa!

00:53:54What did you do?

00:53:55You're finally free of me.

00:53:58What are you going to do?

00:54:01I'm going to walk into town.

00:54:03I have enough money.

00:54:05Please, you mustn't be seen with me.

00:54:07But you're not strong.

00:54:09Oh, just being away from him gives me strength.

00:54:13Well, I...

00:54:15I shan't forget you.

00:54:17Goodbye.

00:54:18No, this is madness.

00:54:20I can't leave you alone.

00:54:22Listen, get back inside.

00:54:24I have only one stop to make in town.

00:54:26And then I'll take you back to Laredo.

00:54:28Do what I say. Come, get back inside.

00:54:35No matter what happens,

00:54:37make no sound.

00:54:40Oh, get up!

00:54:47Get up!

00:55:18Morning, Doc.

00:55:20I was just having me my morning eye-opener.

00:55:24Care to join me?

00:55:25No, thank you, sir. I'm in a hurry.

00:55:29Please, water my horses.

00:55:48Come on, kids.

00:56:02What, you buy out the town prize?

00:56:04Oh, a little bit of it.

00:56:06Now I've got to get it down there.

00:56:08Well, I take off all my hats to you three.

00:56:12Anyone still hanging in down there on the San Pedro?

00:56:15You got my admiration?

00:56:17Well, it's surprising what a few men can do together.

00:56:20They all got the same determination.

00:56:22You sound like a cavalry officer I once knew.

00:56:25Come up against them and wish they hadn't.

00:56:28Jeff Stewart.

00:56:31Tom Escalera sneak around down there?

00:56:33Oh, I reckon San Pedro Creek's too far out of the way.

00:56:37Listen, you start bringing in cattle, build a herd,

00:56:40nothing's out of the way for Indians or whites.

00:56:42Oh, is that so?

00:56:46Well, good luck, prize.

00:56:48It's always nice to have folks move into Texas.

00:56:53Hey, Price, that sure looks like Kirk and his men.

00:56:56You better get out of here fast.

00:56:58Yes, sir.

00:57:03Hey, kids, get out of here.

00:57:05Go on, go hide, quick.

00:57:16There's his rig.

00:57:33Looks like Jimmy's will just have to wait.

00:57:35Thank you very much, Mr. Alexander.

00:57:37Quick, let's go.

00:57:39Let's go.

00:57:45Let's go.

00:58:15Let's go.

00:58:27Oh, Mr. Kirk.

00:58:29Excuse me, I'm in a hurry.

00:58:37Well, I'll be damned.

00:58:39Were you planning on giving this as a present to someone?

00:58:43Bring him along.

00:58:53If she's inside, I'm going to blow your brains out all over the ground with this.

00:59:14Where is she?

00:59:16I swear on all that's holy, I don't know, sir.

00:59:22You, get up in the hills with all your drunken Indian friends

00:59:26and try to pick up her trail.

00:59:28Burnham, Haynes, you cover that Indian.

00:59:30Yes, sir.

00:59:32You, get up in the hills with all your drunken Indian friends

00:59:35and try to pick up her trail.

00:59:37Burnham, Haynes, you cover that Indian.

00:59:39Yes, sir.

00:59:43Let's go.

01:00:14No, no ese toro.

01:00:16El café.

01:00:20No, no, ese toro no.

01:00:22El berrendo.

01:00:29The brown bull is better, no?

01:00:31I want my son to have the best.

01:00:34You sure you want to come back to that broken-down place of ours?

01:00:38I mean, all this is going to be yours one day, boy.

01:00:41That's an excellent idea.

01:00:43Why don't you and your friend come and work this hacienda?

01:00:46Instead of starting with nothing.

01:00:49Can't you understand, Mama?

01:00:51A man must build his own life, just as Papa did.

01:00:55Jonathan, Price, and myself, we will make it on our own.

01:01:00I understand that, my son.

01:01:03A man must be a man.

01:01:07Why don't you take 50 cows instead of 25?

01:01:10Thank you, senora.

01:01:12I think 50 might be just a little more than we can handle right now.

01:01:15Come on, Paco.

01:01:17I will pick out the best of the herd.

01:01:20I'm going to send some backers with you, as far as the border.

01:01:37You know, Pilar, your mother's quite a woman.

01:01:40She runs this hacienda as well as any man that I could think of.

01:01:44No, Mother is better.

01:01:46She knows everything a man should know about operating this hacienda.

01:01:50And also everything a woman should know about managing men.

01:01:54Oh? You going to learn all that from her?

01:01:56Quizás.

01:01:58I learn very quickly.

01:02:00Especially when I'm interested in what the teacher has to teach me.

01:02:04Hey, Jonathan, we're ready to move them out.

01:02:08Well, Pilar, in the deep south, we have a custom for saying goodbye to a beautiful lady.

01:02:16In Mexico, we have a much better way to say goodbye.

01:02:28Well, our paths are going to cross again real soon. Adios.

01:02:34Adios.

01:02:38Adios. Don't forget your promise.

01:03:05Almost impossible to believe.

01:03:08Our little Paco wanting to build something.

01:03:11Wanting to stay in one place.

01:03:14Suddenly a man.

01:03:16Jonathan, well, Mama, he is quite an example.

01:03:21I like him.

01:03:23Well, I would never have guessed.

01:04:04Hello!

01:04:18Hello!

01:04:28Hello!

01:04:34Howdy, ma'am.

01:04:37Are you traveling far?

01:04:39Depends. Far enough.

01:04:44Could you tell me how long it takes to get to the San Pedro Creek?

01:04:51What's supposed to be down there?

01:04:55My brother.

01:04:58He's a missionary.

01:05:01He's building a school.

01:05:04I was supposed to meet him several months ago at Eagle Gap.

01:05:07But there was some sort of confusion.

01:05:09What are you trying to get me in the middle of, ma'am?

01:05:11Nothing.

01:05:12I mean, who put you up to this?

01:05:14Where I come from, a man like me together with a woman like you

01:05:17that's cause for a tar and feather party and ask questions later.

01:05:20Oh, I shouldn't like that.

01:05:23I just wondered if you could tell me if the river is at the end of the canyon

01:05:27and which way I should turn.

01:05:34You got a lot of spunk.

01:05:36Coming out here, San Pedro,

01:05:38not knowing whether you're going to meet up with a rider or not.

01:05:42I had no choice.

01:05:44Well, I don't own this here trail.

01:05:46Mr. Abraham Lincoln,

01:05:48he says an American can come and go as he pleases.

01:05:53So I reckon I don't have no choice either.

01:05:56Thank you. That's awfully kind of you.

01:05:59My name is Angela Richardson.

01:06:05Enterprise Jackson.

01:06:07How do you do?

01:06:11How do you do?

01:06:14Come on, follow me.

01:06:16You must be in a big hurry.

01:06:18Sure traveling light?

01:06:30Yee-haw!

01:06:33Cows, enjoy this Mexican grass while you can.

01:06:36It's sure not this lush across the river.

01:06:39Come on, keep moving it.

01:07:02Come on.

01:07:15That's just a bird, ma'am.

01:07:20You trail weary? Want to stop for a bite?

01:07:23No.

01:07:25Let's continue.

01:07:27The river is just around the bend.

01:07:29Once we cross it,

01:07:31you're going to have to separate to get where you're going.

01:07:38All right, ma'am.

01:07:40Let's get going.

01:07:42Come on, mule.

01:07:56Adios.

01:08:00Adios.

01:08:02I'm sorry you're heading back.

01:08:04Gracias.

01:08:06You'll be all right.

01:08:08You know, I wish the vaqueros could come all the way.

01:08:11Yee-haw!

01:08:27Wait here, ma'am.

01:08:29Watch where I go.

01:08:31The river is higher than the last time.

01:08:33You watch careful how I do it.

01:08:41Come on.

01:09:00Come the same way I did, you hear?

01:09:11Come on.

01:09:41Come on.

01:10:11Come on.

01:10:33I can't move my leg.

01:10:35Well, when the horse went down...

01:10:37You caught your foot in the stirrup.

01:10:41Can you see?

01:10:43Two, maybe three guns.

01:10:49They're after me.

01:10:51You?

01:10:54I'm running away from Alexander Kirk.

01:10:57Oh, no.

01:10:59I was supposed to marry him.

01:11:01I'd rather be dead.

01:11:03Well, ma'am,

01:11:05it looks like that's what they got in mind

01:11:07for both of us.

01:11:11They got us caught in the crossfire.

01:11:13We don't stand a chance in hell.

01:11:15Unless maybe

01:11:17we can run a bluff.

01:11:20What are you doing?

01:11:24Oh!

01:11:29Oh!

01:11:35I only hope you have to

01:11:37play dead.

01:11:40I see.

01:11:43Tie this around my arm real tight.

01:11:48Tighter.

01:11:50Now,

01:11:52whatever you do,

01:11:54don't move.

01:11:56I understand.

01:12:01You've killed her!

01:12:05You've killed her!

01:12:14You've killed her!

01:12:23You say you've killed her!

01:12:28Look at that blood.

01:12:30You've killed her!

01:12:33Well, we did what Kirk sent us out here to do.

01:12:36Yeah.

01:12:38He's got a couple of partners.

01:12:40If they hurt those shots,

01:12:42they're gonna have us on their sides pretty damn quick.

01:12:45Come on.

01:12:49Hold it, hold it, hold it.

01:12:51Look at this, look at this.

01:12:53That black bastard robbing the dead.

01:12:55That black bastard.

01:12:58Let's go.

01:13:03I'm gonna scout around.

01:13:05Make sure they're gone.

01:13:07Don't move a muscle.

01:13:18Hyah! Hyah!

01:13:20Keep moving it!

01:13:22Hyah!

01:13:32Hyah!

01:14:02Hyah!

01:14:33What does he mean he's sorry?

01:14:35You told me she was dead.

01:14:37Mr. Kirk, I was sure of it.

01:14:39All that blood and...

01:14:41You just get fresh horses and bring our boys in from the ranch.

01:14:44Yes, sir.

01:15:03You're looking for your partners, Mr. Jackson.

01:15:07Yeah, I sure am.

01:15:09Should have been back by now.

01:15:14You got some sleep.

01:15:16Yeah, thanks to you.

01:15:20Well, let's get some nourishment into you.

01:15:24Oh!

01:15:26Easy, easy now.

01:15:29Oh, I really do feel much better.

01:15:31Better?

01:15:33All put together, you ain't more than a pound of shadow.

01:15:39Down south, we call this the Jackson special.

01:15:59Let's go!

01:16:01Let's go!

01:16:11Mr. Jackson, I'm sorry I involved you.

01:16:14Please forgive me for telling you that story.

01:16:17Well, from all you told me, I can understand why.

01:16:20I'm sorry I got you involved.

01:16:22I'm sorry I got you involved.

01:16:24I'm sorry I got you involved.

01:16:26Well, from all you told me, I can understand why.

01:16:30I don't know how to thank you.

01:16:33Well, you just finish up that special.

01:16:36We call it even.

01:16:38If I'm going to stay here, I could earn my keep by cooking for you.

01:16:41You didn't like the special?

01:16:52Well, let's try this on for size.

01:16:54What is it?

01:16:55Well, out here, we call it a western crutch.

01:17:10It's very good.

01:17:14Feels like a new leg.

01:17:17Thank you, Mr. Jackson.

01:17:26Just itchy, man.

01:17:28I feel a lot better when my partners show up.

01:17:31They do back this evening.

01:17:33Be a sight for sore eyes.

01:17:35Well, we're on the home stretch, Paco.

01:17:38I can almost smell the supper Price is cooking up.

01:17:41I reckon Price is stirring up one of his Jackson specials to welcome us home.

01:17:55Mr. Jackson! Mr. Jackson! Mr. Jackson!

01:18:25I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

01:18:49You go. I'll be all right.

01:18:52Can you move that arm?

01:18:53Go! Leave!

01:18:54Move that arm!

01:18:57Good. That means nothing broken.

01:18:59Bullet must have gone clean through.

01:19:13I'm going to put this back here.

01:19:15Press it tight against the wall.

01:19:17And this one, you press tight against the front.

01:19:20Real tight. We've got to stop that bleeding, yeah?

01:19:24There's only one gun in there, boss.

01:19:26You can't be sure.

01:19:28You, take four men. Go up along this wall.

01:19:33Ames, you and Soldado, take two men.

01:19:36Circle around. Try to get behind him.

01:19:38I do. I do. Come with me.

01:19:42Now I've got to go. I can't do no good in here.

01:19:44But I'll be back, yeah?

01:19:46I won't be far away.

01:19:54I'll be back.

01:20:24I'll be back.

01:20:55Hold your fire!

01:20:57Move up!

01:21:25Don't let him take you.

01:21:40You're one of the rebels, yeah, Liz?

01:21:42I'm a damn rebel. I got a lot of hands.

01:21:44You got a gun?

01:21:45I got a gun.

01:21:46You got a gun?

01:21:47I got a gun.
