Original subtitles

Those are the last four sacks and we're done.

- We'll have to close the entrance. - Sure.

- Do you have a cigar? - Yes.

- It's all I got left, take it. - Only half? Aren't we partners?

Slim, what the hell is wrong with you?

I'm sorry, Sam. But I really have to kill you.

Slim! Have you gone crazy?

But we're friends!

I have no friends and now it's over, I also don't want to have a partner.

We're rich now! There's plenty for both of us!

We can live as millionaires even if we split it!

Sure.

But I will be even richer if I don't share with anyone.

I want it all.

All right, then take it all!

I'm sorry, Sam.

But if I take away the gold and leave you alive, sooner or later you'll end up killing me.

But now I have your gun.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

We're now close to the river. One more effort and then we can have it.

But you don't leave me if it's not over.

There's still one effort.

Sam!

Sam Cooper!

Anna.

Sam, I could have sworn you were dead!

Help me.

I can't go any further.

- Chang, give me one. - You're welcome, sir.

The usual massage, Sarah? It helps to sober up.

I'm ready to get another one.

So, Cooper, did you find this gold?

No, not yet. Next time.

Yes, of course, next time. You all answer like this.

But over many years I've been here, I've yet to to see a single one who finds gold.

I'd like to know who makes you do it, Sam?

You could have a piece of land and cattle.

Have a family and live in peace.

A piece of land?

But all the land in the world is mine and it will make me rich.

You really make me angry and all your life you keep hoping.

Wake up, Sam. When will you stop?

Well, I'll stop when I find gold and maybe not even then.

Sam, but suppose you can't find it?

Then don't worry, I'll find it.

But you see, being able to discover gold, is only part of the work.

The problem lies elsewhere. You have to dig it out and take it away.

And you can't do it alone, you need someone to help you.

And it's at this point that it becomes dangerous...

... because everyone is ready to kill you.

It's strange, but just when you get rich, your life is no longer worth a dime.

Do me a favour, Sam. Be serious.

You've never seen a grain of gold in your entire life.

- Who wants to kill you? - I didn't say that.

I was just saying I have to find someone I can trust.

But you don't have anyone, Sam. You're alone and you will not find anyone.

Because by now, everyone knows there's no gold around here, and there's never been.

You should meet another madman like you. In other words another Sam Cooper.

But no, you're wrong.

But there is someone, it's actually my son.

But deep down, a bit as if it were.

I met him on the street.

He refused to take a half-dollar that someone had lost.

He was six years old.

I went to live with his mother and I raised him.

But then one day, the gold fever took me and I decided to leave, and he followed me.

We had a very hard life and he got tired right away.

So, he was a boy and seeing that I found nothing, he went away.

But you see, I could trust him.

If you say so. What's this boy's name?

Manolo Sánchez.

Manolo Sánchez...

Damn, what did you write? And what's this Denver?

Yes, Colorado.

And here are the hundred dollars I'm sending him...

... and tell your colleagues not to make them disappear. Understood?

So, Sam, this boy's finally here?

I hope so, Anna. I really hope so.

Hill Town! One hour stop!

Here you are ladies.

On the ground girl, you get off.

We're here.

Your luggage ladies.

- Those over there. - Hey, throw me the bag.

Give me the black one too.

Come on, quick.

And that one too, quick.

- There you go. - Thank you.

Hey, boy?

Did you lose something? It seems like a half-dollar to me.

Never had a half-dollar in my life.

It doesn't matter. Take it anyway, it's yours.

I don't take it, sir. Because it's not mine.

Put another bed in my room for Mr Sánchez.

Right away.

No, one moment.

In fact, give him another room.

He's a man now, and maybe he wants to bring a girl.

So what would you say to having a small glass?

Only one?

Be careful because if I get into it, I'll make you end up under the table.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any more rooms and I'll put another bed in yours if you want?

Yes, all right.

But listen, try to put on clean sheets, I urge you.

Of course.

These beggars, they wouldn't know how to receive a true gentleman...

... if by mistake you happen to have one around here.

How did you say Sánchez?

- No, I said 'Mister' Sánchez. - 'Mister', I understand.

So Mr Cooper, this small glass...

... did you forget?

Hey, where are you going? Can't you see it's raining?

You know it seems strange to me, Manolo...

I left when you were a boy...

... and now I find you drink like a real man, even more than I do.

You're a real sponge.

Sure, and I hold it better too.

And what do you want to do with the passing years.

Yeah, you grew up and I got old.

You suddenly discover that you're old, it makes you want to talk.

But no one wants to talk to you.

Stop it, Sam.

Now I showed up and I'll keep you company.

And in fact I called you for this.

You know, I've had enough of chatting with horses...

... and they don't drink!

The truth is I need someone I can really trust.

I need a partner...

... and it's another pair of hands.

You mean you found it, right?

Maybe, who knows, who knows...

... maybe, maybe...

Hello, Cooper. Do you want to take another bath?

Yes, of course, but steam.

Come on, bring us another bottle, but the good one.

If you keep drinking, the bath will not be of any benefit to you.

He said to bring a bottle. Move it!

Chang, did you see what a friend I found?

It's much better to argue in two than alone.

Damn, what are those two doing here?

They're the Brady brothers. A serious company.

If you want to take someone out, you turn to them.

They're also cheap.

Good day, gentlemen.

Come here, help me take them off.

So Sam, you found it, didn't you?

I found what?

What? I asked you if you found gold?

Maybe.

It may be that there is no gold. Maybe I made you come for nothing.

What are you talking about?

But how come for nothing? You must be joking I hope.

'See you later is being together', as you used to call it, 'nothing'?

Lo and behold, what you see is the smartest man in all the South.

They told me that two of you left...

... and then you came back alone, is that true?

Then yours is truly a vicious one, Cooper.

Who's that? He doesn't like you very much.

Yeah...

We were in the army together.

And one day he got away with the regimental cash box.

And then in order to lose our tracks...

... I'll be seeing you...

... he left with the money but was caught...

You always tell this story in your own way, right Cooper?

You know, Manolo, in the last few years...

... you've changed so much I barely recognise you.

But damn, your appetite, that one you've still got.

Sure I still got it, it may well be tomorrow...

... you can't find anything to shoot at me anymore, for one reason or another.

All past stuff. You won't have this fear anymore.

I assure you that from now on, you will no longer have to worry about the future.

But remember that this time you have to stay with me.

You no longer have to go about your business. Not in your advantage, you know.

No, then I left you because I got tired of following you around...

... to the mountains to dig holes...

... to smash rocks without ever finding a damn thing.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I know, you weren't wrong.

But you see, I know you. I know you well.

You don't like searching for gold. You like to find it.

Sure, you break your back digging, wielding the pickaxe.

You become half-blind in that damn desert, and you feel like a rat.

Then with the dark tunnels that can collapse at any moment.

During work you forget to eat and sleep, and don't care.

And one fine day the gold appears, you've done it!

You see, gold has no smell. If you put it in your mouth it has no taste.

But you know all the same it's the most beautiful thing in the world.

And it's the hour you discover that it was worth it.

The years and the fatigue no longer count, because now in hell, now...

... that gold is yours!

So, Sam, did you find it?

You found it didn't you?

- Where? - Would you like to know where?

You listen to me good, I won't say if I found it...

... and I won't say where, I won't say anything.

Why are you interested in knowing?

Look, it's you who called me. I didn't ask to come.

That's true.

I called you precisely because...

... you're the only person in the world I trust.

And so I tell you there's a whole mountain of gold, just waiting for the two of us.

And you take me with you, but where?

Once again, so...

... we're here...

... the town, this is the river...

... of which you arrive at the old mission, the houses are all burnt...

... then there are the mountains, we have to cross those first...

... and then there's the desert, here...

... there are many canyons around here...

... you know, many have searched for gold here and in these hills here...

... but no one has ever thought...

All right, I'll explain it to you later in a quiet place.

When do we leave?

Soon, but there are many preparations for me to do.

Anna, come here.

Sit down.

And this is Manolo. He is the luckiest boy in the world.

Touch him, touch him...

... maybe a bit of his luck passes onto you too.

Sam?

He doesn't even realise what he's saying. You should drink less, Sam.

You see this boy, he worries about me.

But nobody did, not even his mother when we lived together.

She was a boring woman and so I left.

She was only good at annoying me.

That's enough, Sam.

Let me tell you, my mother doesn't care anyway, she's dead.

Sam...

... there's something I don't like in that boy.

A glass of milk.

I'm sorry but our cow is out having tea with her friends.

Excuse me sir, I'll bring the milk right away.

That's enough for me, goodnight.

- May I? - Sure.

- Who's got the cards? - Him.

- But first show the money - Of course.

That's all?

For starters, it will be enough for me

Well, it's already over, get up from that chair.

Here you play for real.

Did you hear? Get out.

Manolo.

Come away.

I told you come away.

Too bad, I could clean up.

- What is it? - Nothing why?

Do you know that one over there?

That one? Never seen in my life.

There was much more, but without the horses I couldn't carry it...

... and I threw it away so they wouldn't find out.

So, let's see what effect it has on you.

In this land there is at least thirty percent gold.

You wouldn't think it, to look at it that way.

It's wonderful, Sam! Extraordinary! When do we leave?

It's true you have a fever now too?

Good, you'll need it because I told you we have a lot of work ahead of us.

We have to get over there first. Then we have to dig out the gold and take it away.

All right, but if there's a lot of work, do you think we can do it alone?

Of course some help would be needed.

But I don't trust anyone.

Help me, let's take them into town, these are a small sample.

Look around and see if you find something you need.

All right, I'll empty the shop.

Why did you go away without telling me?

I'm glad you're here.

I asked you a question.

It's the old man, he wants to see me again, he's sick.

He doesn't seem sick to me.

Who is he?

He's someone who fed me when I was a child.

Who raised me.

What do you want from him?

Nothing, I assure you. I said I just wanted to see him again.

- Leave me alone! - Don't tell me what to do.

You just have to obey. Because without me you don't exist.

And now tell me what's underneath it.

- How much have you got? - Quite a bit more.

- And you want to sell it all? - Depends.

It's a good deposit, Cooper. Almost thirty percent gold.

This time you really made a big hit.

Damn! But it's too little.

But I'll keep my mouth shut. You pay for silence.

Does it still seem too little?

Did he pay you well?

- Hello, Lancaster. - Hello, Cooper.

Let's see, I need five sacks of flour.

A sack of sugar and a half of salt. And then...

What are you doing? Will you give me the shop?

Where are you going this time?

It's my business, you think about serving me.

Let's get enough stuff. You never know what you'll need.

Is he coming with you?

Yes.

- Say, you don't have sleeping bags? - Yes, I think so and look over there.

Manolo, take a look.

Here they are, there are three of them.

No, but what junk for sale!

I don't know. I've never tried to squeeze in there.

- I'd say take them all. - Three, why? Two are enough for us.

- A spare just in case. - Of course you know two are enough.

I'd like to know how someone sleeps inside those things there.

Well, take it, it's all written here.

Please take the stuff to the hotel.

Sure, I'll take care of it.

Did you deliver the packages to Mrs. Jones?

Yes, Mr Lancaster.

Bravo.

Now you will deal with Mr. Cooper.

You know, he bought a lot of stuff.

Hey!

Hey, Paul!

I need about ten horses.

How much do those over there cost?

Those are forty dollars, but if you want...

No, I want those...

He's coming with us too.

Why?

But here it is, Sam. Didn't you say that it would be strenuous, right?

And so it seems to me that we'll need two extra hands.

Why?

- Why? - He already told you why.

You will need two extra hands.

No!

Now you'll tell me why!

No, not this! I swear!

I didn't know! I didn't know!

I didn't know he would follow me! No! No! No!

- Why? - No! No!

- Why? - No! No!

- Why? - It's not my fault!

- Why? - No! I swear!

You two will never make it alone.

Yes, I know.

We don't want to go without you.

I told him I'll give him half of my share. My share, do you understand?

I said it won't cost you anything, Sam. I swear, it won't cost you anything.

Tell me why?

Why? As to why?

Who do you think took care of me when you left?

Who do you think has fed me so far?

Who protected me? Was it you?

No, it was him! It was him!

That's why he's coming with me now!

Someone running after you, Cooper?

- Mason, I need to talk to you right away. - All right, talk.

Well, I...

I told you to talk, I didn't say sit down.

Good day, Reverend.

Go on.

You see, those two think they can get to the mine without me.

Now they also know where it is, at least Manolo knows.

Then kill them. What are you waiting for?

Not this, no, I couldn't do that. I'm fond of Manolo.

And then maybe I'm wrong.

Imagining things that don't exist and everything will be fine.

Maybe nothing will happen.

Why are you worried then?

Let's hear what you want from me.

Listen, Mason, but let's forget the past for a moment.

I need you to come with me. I would feel much calmer that way.

Listen, Cooper, I don't give a damn if they kill you or not.

It's your business.

But if you want me to come with you, what do I gain?

But I don't know, it may even be that nothing really happens.

Sure, maybe.

All right, I can offer you ten percent of my share.

Ten percent?

If you need a pair of killers, there are the Brady brothers.

They're cheap.

But no, I'm not looking for a killer. I want a partner to come with me.

As you please, Cooper.

But I do partnerships at fifty percent.

All right, fifty percent.

If you come with us you have to work.

Well, we've loaded everything I think.

So if we're ready, what are we waiting for to go?

It will be necessary to change an iron on this horse.

Don't worry, Sam. We have spare irons.

Even if you lose one we will put them on.

No, let's wait.

Good day, gentlemen.

Ready, Cooper?

He's coming with us too.

We'll need another extra pair of hands, right boys?

So, vamos!

Hey, bastard, help me unload.

Hey, look at this.

He's the clerk at Lancaster's store.

The one who sold us the stuff.

When I get back, I need to have a little chat with that fat guy.

Come on, let's get the shovels and bury them.

What do we do with their guns?

We'll bury them.

- Who takes the first watch? - Him.

Eat some more.

We're going this way.

Here the path narrows. I'm going to pass the horses one at a time.

Come on, keep against the rocks.

What kind of idiot! I said one horse at a time!

Do you want to obey, yes or no?

Go down and get it!

Did you hear that? I said go down and get it!

- Go down and get it? - Go down there!

- No! No! - Go down or I'll just push you!

I'm not going! I'm not going! It's too dangerous!

Now go down!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

No! No!

Come on, go and get it.

- What are you doing? - If he stays it's better for everyone.

Give me the rope! Give it to me, I said!

Hey, pull me up!

Anyway, do you want to move?

Wait a moment, Sam! Let him catch his breath!

He’ll catch his breath on the way! Move it!

Where the hell did you learn to make coffee in this way?

Too bad, because the smell is good.

You know, what this is, just like you...

... it seems to be one thing, but the substance is another.

Wake up! I'm leaving! Wake up!

Come on!

Here we are!

Nobody found it. Nobody.

Well, well, look...

I bet he was his partner too.

- I had to defend myself. - Yeah, they always say that.

Calmly, Cooper. Calmly.

Yeah.

You're always in a hurry, aren't you?

- It seems so. - I know.

It's always the haste that made you make mistakes.

For example, before asking me to come with you, you didn't think enough.

You never thought it might come to me, the desire to make you pay...

... for reporting me six years ago, when we fled together.

But damn what are you saying?

That I might eliminate those two out there, and take all the gold.

And I would have the right.

I've already paid for it with three years of hard labour.

While you who had reported me, you were going for a ride.

That's what I'm saying.

But you've gone crazy!

They followed you and lost my tracks, whether you believe it or not!

In fact I don't believe it, I know you now...

... maybe you already have in mind to take me out.

After I helped you extract the gold.

And after I've served you to get rid of those two.

Then why did you come?

Maybe because I'm still looking for proof that it was you who reported me.

You see you have no proof, otherwise you would have already killed me!

That's for sure.

But it goes by what you do.

Because I follow your every gesture.

Be careful if you talk in your sleep, because I listen to you.

I warned you.

When do we start digging out the gold?

In the morning, at dawn.

The first work shift, we'll do it together until dawn.

And to say that a lot of folks have some strange ideas about gold.

They think it's enough to find it in the bags and take it to the nearest bank.

You've already had your ration.

But excuse me, Sam, if he just wants a little water if he's thirsty, let him drink.

He will have exactly as much as any one of us.

We all have a ration and that's it.

You will do the first watch with me.

Watch your hand.

Does this happen to you very often?

No, never.

Manolo!

A blanket and bring some water too.

Ask him for the quinine in my bag.

Grab the quinine from Mason's bag.

Quick! Move it, I said!

Tell me, where did you get malaria?

In the swamps in Florida.

From hard labour.

- There's a pot of coffee on the fire. - Thank you.

Watch out!

Who did it! Who did it!

Who's the bastard that removed the props!

What props?

What are you saying?

Someone removed the props to make me collapse the mine on me!

How can you say?

Maybe someone tried to take me out.

Or me.

Say, Sam, do you think those two made an agreement against us?

To do what?

But tell me, it was you and me in the mine, Sam?

It was supposed to be only the two of us, from the beginning.

But I'm with you, Sam. I've always been.

I'm tired of those two. I can't stand them anymore.

I know, you're right.

But first let's pull out all the gold and leave the old man alone.

But, yes, of course, if we get Mason out of the way.

Sam is no longer dangerous.

What do you want me to do?

Look, I assure you, it's not out of weakness.

But it's useless to kill him.

He's just a poor old man and without Mason to defend him...

... he's in our hands and there are two of us.

No, you're wrong.

There are not two of us, you don't count.

And if I decide to kill the old man and I decide that you do it...

... you tell me, why can't you do otherwise?

Remember.

Twenty-eight, thirty, thirty-two...

- There's some for me? - Sure.

You know, I counted the bags of one of these...

... we won't be able to carry it, we're done.

So, it's the moment to be more careful.

We need to start sleeping with only one eye.

It may be that I'm wrong about Manolo.

Maybe the boy isn't bad.

And now you're wrong, Cooper.

Hey, Cooper! We've got a visitor.

I hope that's your ration of water tomorrow, right?

What should we do with him, Sam? Now he's discovered the mine.

I don't know, we'll decide tomorrow.

Now let's go to bed.

Who takes the first watch?

It's my turn as always. Don't you remember?

I'm looking for...

... a thief...

... and murderer...

... disguised...

... as a priest!

He had another gun.

I'll bury him.

Give him that gun.

He doesn't want it.

Try again.

In the right way.

- Ugly worm! Filthy murderer! - Cooper!

I did you a favour.

You all wanted to do it, but no one had the courage.

Go back to sleep.

It makes me angry to leave all that gold in there. We could have taken away more.

Sure.

Leaving the water and supplies here.

Yours, naturally.

You all know better than me.

Shut up, imbecile. Cooper, he's right.

You see? He knows that without me you'll be lost.

You still need me.

Until when?

But why do you want to get yourself killed?

Nobody needs you.

You neither.

Are you afraid of killing him?

What's wrong with you, Mason?

Are you sick again?

Who's the bastard that took my quinine!

Who has it?

Come on, you rats, who pulled out my quinine?

Give it back!

All right.

Now throw the gun belts on the ground.

Do you understand?

You heard me!

Throw it in front of you.

But Sam, what the hell is wrong with you? Are you crazy?

Get up.

The gun belt.

Now help Mr Mason, who can't do it alone.

I knew you were a bastard but this time you'll pay for it!

This, I swear!

Wait, you're not done.

Now turn your back.

Remove the bullets from the gun.

Count while you throw them in there.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Up to this point, you still couldn't do without me.

But tomorrow we'll get to the abandoned old church.

And from there you all know how to proceed.

I have to take my precautions.

Very good, now put the guns in that sack over there.

No, I'll take care of the gun belts and bullets.

Well, well, look...

Look what I found.

Think carefully before giving it to me, Cooper.

Because if I recover, I'll kill you!

Did you see them, too?

If they attack us what do you plan to do?

Give us back our guns or do we defend ourselves with stones?

Well, Cooper, what have you decided?

Maybe you need these.

No!

No! Let go of me! Let go of me!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Manolo!

No!

You know, that time with that half-dollar...

... it would be better to take it...

... and not follow you.

It's the Bradys?

Hey, Alfred! Fred!

Get back to town.

I don't need you anymore.

Do you understand?

All right, Mason.

I'll pay you the same.

I'll give you what I promised you.

Sure, Mason.

If you want I'll pay you right away.

But I told you. I don't need you anymore.

I told you to go away!

Sure, Mason.

Mason!

You didn't tell us that there would also be gold?

Fred!

Alfred!

Thank you.

Hey, Cooper...

... did they get you?

Yes, in the leg, it hurts like hell.

Hey, Cooper...

... you know what angers me the most in all this dirty business?

What's that?

That this time...

... the gold, you carry it back...

... alone.

And I can't run after you.

Cut it out.

You will come with me to town if I have to carry you on my shoulders.

Mason, you hear me?

Mason?

Mason?

Mason?

Mason!
