Well, Flake?

I'm empty.

Either you're the luckiest kid
I've ever seen or the slickest cheat.

Dice, poker, checkers.

Just got a pure heart and lily-white soul.
That's all.

Tell you what.

Give you a chance to win
the whole thing back.

The whole works against
your guitar there.

What do you say?

- What's your game?
- Dead-even gamble. Hmm?

Keep talking.
Well, uh--

Let's see if I can find
a pebble here somewhere.

Yeah. Here's what we'll do.

One pebble, two hands.

You pick the hand
with the pebble in it,

you win the whole shebang.

That's 50-50.
Sure it is.

Pebble's got to be
in one hand or the other.

You can't accuse me
of riggin' this deck.

All right.
Okay.

Switch it around here
a little bit.

This one.

You say the pebble's
in that hand, right?

Yeah.

Sure you don't want to change your mind?
Last chance, you know.

Don't pull none of your
medicine show tricks on me.

I said this hand.
That's it.

You're just born unlucky, Flake.

Just a minute.

You hurt me, Flake.
You really do.

Told ya.
Born lucky.

- Lucky and handsome.
- **

And today, I'm gonna be free.

Oh, uh, give this to Flake.

I can't play it nohow.

Anything else, Mr. Trampas?

Yeah. Change your shirt.
You look like a bum.

Welcome to Medicine Bow.
Buying a horse or selling the saddle?

Forty-dollar Eldenberg there.
What do you give me for it?

Six dollars,
and I ain't arguing.

Uh, double or nothing, sport?

Oh, no. Not me.

I seen too many of them
four-bit pieces with two heads.

Oh, nothing like that.
Dead-even gamble.

Let me see if I can find
a pebble here.

Whoa.

Did you rob a bank?
Nah.

I just sold a six-dollar
saddle for $24.

Dan.
Morning. What'll it be?

- Beer?
- No, thanks. I'm looking for hands.

I got a bunch of new stock
needs branding.

Anybody around here need work?
- None that I know of.

Except maybe that yahoo
at the end of the bar with Winnie.

If you hear of anybody looking
for work, send them to Shiloh.

Sure will.

Lookin' for work, cowboy?

Friend, did I do anything
to make you mad at me?

Mister, I don't even know you.

Then how come you want
to cuss at me--

using words like "work"
and all that?

I take it you're not
lookin' for a job.

You take it true, friend.

Suckers and mules--
that's what work's for.

And a mule's got enough sense
to turn his tail on it.

Sorry I took up your time.

Hey, ramrod.

No offense?

No offense.

It's about time you got here.
You been costin' me money.

Patience, gentlemen.
The house is always glad to relieve you...

of any contribution
you wish to make.

Hey, how about another drink?
Just a minute, honey.

Who would like to start
this little fiasco?

I would.

I think I see some work
I am suited for.

Are you gonna leave me now?
I'll be right back, honey.

You just keep the bottle warm.

Four. Looking for five.

Nine. Looking for five.
Pay the Come bets on the nine.

Eleven, a natural.
Pay the Come bets on the 11.

Six. Looking for five.

Man's point is five.
Let's get on a winner, men.

It's time to put your money
in and take a lot out.

I'm out for a new one
on this one.

Seven. You lose.

Next good shooter.
Shoot a dollar.

Yes, sir.

Go 11.

Eight.

Big-and-easy eight.
Eight's his point.

Let's ride with him.
Money in the pot.

Dollar on the eight.

Eight and donate.
Pay at this window.

Eight. And he bucked it.
Eight's the winner.

Well, let's just play it all.

I got the feelin' this is gonna be
my lucky day.

I'm gonna go with him.

The man did it again.

Same shooter.
Your point.

Everybody in?

- Come on there, dice.
- Do it again.

Six is the point.
The man's point is six.

Fifty-eye six.

Fifty-eye six!

Come on, don't hold 'em
all day. I'm hot.

Give him the dice.
Yo.

Satisfied?
Sure.

I'm satisfied they're not ours.

What's going on here?

All right, one at a time.
Hoby, what happened?

This guy ran crooked dice
in the game.

When we caught him, he started tearing up
the place.

What have you got to say?

The new hand?

Well, now.

Welcome to the mule barn.

I'm not here because
I want to be.

I'm here because
I need the money.

Good enough.
We roll out at 5:00.

Say, you look like a nice fella.

Let me show you somethin'.

Take a look at that.
That there's a seven-carat diamond.

It, uh, belonged to my mother.
I sure hate to part with it.

A man shouldn't part
with his mother's ring.

No, wait. I-- I know.

Well, I wouldn't,
not in a second.

It's just that--
Well, I need $50.

I gotta have it.
I just got to.

You say your mother wore this?

Every day of her married life.

It's, uh, solid gold.

She must have had
a mighty green finger.

Leave it there.
Come on. We got another one.

Yah!

Will you come on and help!

Get out!

The tail.
The tail.

The tail!
Will you tail him!

We need an iron now
to brand him.

Will you come on with the iron?
Come on with the iron!

Yeah, yeah. It's comin'.

A hot one,
you three-legged tenderfoot!

I'll give you a hot one,
big mouth--

right down your teeth.

Now break it up.
Break it up.

This iron's still hot enough
to brand with, Steve.

Why don't you take a rest?

Steve been getting on you?
All day.

What's he riding me for?

He'd better get off it.
I tell you that.

He hasn't got anything
against ya.

Just trying to find out
if you can take it.

Happens all the time.
Not with me it don't.

You can't fight
everybody, Trampas.

Stay out of my business.
Okay.

Supposing I show you something
about branding irons?

Head 'em out!
Move 'em north!

Hyah!
Whoo!

I'll get these.

Hyah! Hyah!

Okay, keep 'em moving!

Yes, sir, it's a great life
if you like eatin' dust.

Boy, am I tuckered out.

I guess you won't be going
to the big dance tonight then.

Sometimes you say
the funniest things.

You just said you was tired.

Randy, when you get a little older
and a lot brighter...

you'll learn to realize nothin'
revives a tired man...

like a couple of
cold beers in his belly...

and a beautiful girl
in his arms.

No, sir, I can't think
of anything...

that's gonna keep me from goin'
to that little ol' dance tonight.

Well, I can.

Boss wants to see ya
up at the ranch house.

Well, I didn't do it.
Do what?

Whatever he wants to see me about.
Well, now.

You want me to give him
that little ol' message?

No. I'll tell him myself.

Maybe he needs my advice
about somethin'.

Don't you leave without me.

And take care
of old Buck for me.

He sure is somethin', ain't he?
Yeah, he is.

He reminds me of somethin' that
old Abe-- that's President Lincoln--

is supposed to have said
about one of his generals.

He said it seemed like every time
he saw this particular general,

he was either decoratin' him
or bawlin' him out.

I wonder which it's gonna be this time.
Who knows?

Come in.

Howdy.

Well, I see they got you
doin' paperwork.

Sometimes I think that's why
the judge goes away.

Sit down.

What's on your mind?

You spent some time
around the Texas border...

before you came
to Shiloh, didn't you?

That's right.
Mm-hmm.

Can you think of any reason
why it'd be, uh,

inadvisable for you
to go back to Mexico?

No, not off-hand.

Better be sure.

Well, I don't think I did anything
for anybody to hold any grudges.

Why?
But you do know the country?

Like the back of my hand.

A little dust.
I just came off the range.

Haven't had a chance to wash up
for that dance tonight.

I'm afraid you're gonna
have to miss that dance.

I kinda had a feelin' I might.

You ever hear of a man
named don Carlos Alvarez?

No. I can't say I have.

He's got a big cattle ranch
down in Mexico.

Before the judge left,
he bought a prize bull from him.

He wants somebody to go
down there and pick him up.

There's your ticket
as far as San Antonio.

Pick up the stage there
and go on to Laredo...

and pick up a horse
for the rest of the trip.

Judge left this
for expense money.

He's sending a bank draft to Alvarez
for the price of the bull.

That oughta be more than enough
for any emergencies.

By emergencies, I mean, uh,
accident or illness...

or any other
unforeseen disaster.

That doesn't include making an attempt
to fill an inside straight...

or making love
to somebody else's girl...

or trying to find out
how much liquor you can hold.

I think I understand what
you're trying to tell me.

Good. By the way, I'd keep that
roll out of sight in Laredo.

Last time I was down there,
it was a real tough town.

Have a good trip.

Yes, sir.
I sure will.

No poker, no women, no liquor.

Yes, sir.
I sure will.

Hello, Trampas.
Hello.

Is Betsy home?
Yeah.

Wait till you see the new dress
I bought for the dance tonight.

Well, I'm afraid that's gonna be
kind of a long wait.

Why? Aren't you gonna
dance with me?

I won't be there.

Trampas, if you and the boys think you're
going to play poker Saturday night...

when I went out and bought
a new dress especially for--

No, no. Not that.

The rest of the hands
will be there.

- I'm the only one that can't make it.
- Are you sure?

I have to catch a train tonight.

I mean about the other boys
being there.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Well, I know it won't be
the same without me--

You have a nice trip now.

Hmm.

Just not my day.

Hey, what you doin'?
I'm packin'.

Get fired?
Nope.

Quittin'?
Nope.

Only one thing left then.
You must be gonna take a trip.

Hmm. Randy, you frighten me,
the way you guess things.

Well, where you goin'?
Mexico.

Mexico.
Sounds pretty good.

Don't let the foreman
hear you say that.

This is strictly
a business trip.

Hey, did you guys hear that?
Trampas is goin' to Mexico.

Mexico? What for?

I got me a date...
with a bull.

Olé!

I make it three jugs
of corn liquor,

10 stolen horses
and eight horse thieves.

- Maybe there's another one on lookout.
- Oh, no.

They wouldn't wander
that far from them jugs.

Boy, I could sure use
some of that corn myself.

- Yeah. Let's go.
- Hold on.

Two hours from now and three jugs later,
they're gonna be a lot easier.

I ain't lookin' for easy.
I'm lookin' for quick.

Well, I'm dry,

but there never was a jug of corn
I was willin' to get shot for.

Reese, there's only
eight of 'em.

What's your all-fire hurry?

He's been goin' like the heel flies was
after him ever since we left Laredo.

Well, maybe you two fellas got time
to lollygag around up here, but I--

All we gotta do is go
down that hill nice and quiet,

move in on 'em one at a time
from behind, knock 'em off.

Probably wouldn't even have to fire a shot,
the shape they're in right now.

Now hold on, Chad.

Think how nice it'd be just
to go moseying in there,

gather up on a wild bunch
like that for once...

without all that firing
and shooting and fighting.

Yeah. Well, the way
they're going,

it ain't gonna be long neither.

Oh, maybe an hour.

You two fellas coming with me,
or do I have to do this alone?

Got to be a woman.
A red-haired woman.

Blonde--
long, yellow hair.

Bet you two dollars red.

You're on, Reese.
What color hair has she got, Chad?

- I'm gonna ask you once more. You coming?
- Maybe got no hair at all.

Well, no hair, no bet.

Chad, what are you gonna do
with a bald-headed woman?

You two just stay here
and amuse each other, huh?

Just-- Just stay here.

Hey, he's really goin'.
Think we ought to go with him?

Nah. Relax.
We'll cover him from up here.

Hey, he done that real fine.

He's found another one.

All right, lower the jug
and take off the gun belts.

Party's over, boys.
Now! Let's go!

Ain't much for watchin' fights.
Me neither.

Try not to bust
any of them jugs.

Oh, no!

Let's go.

Well, let's round up these
stolen horses and move out, huh?

Never seen Chad with such
a burr under his saddle.

That lady friend of his must
really be somethin' special.

Yeah. The kind
you can't keep waitin'.

I didn't know there was
any like that in Laredo.

- Are you comin' or stayin'?
- We're comin'.

You got us as anxious to get
back to Laredo as you are.

Then let's go.
Come on.

All right, you lovelies,
move out.

Let's go, men.

Get up there.

Mmm!

- Get you next time.
- Yeah.

* Te espero

* Beloved

* All through the night I wait *

* Await you, my beloved

* Don't let it be too late

* In starlight

* I look up
at the wishing moon *

* I'm wishing

* We'll be together soon

* Don't make me wait

* This lonely night through

* When dawn arrives

* I want to be with you

* Te espero

* The wishing moon is bright *

* I'm wishing, my beloved

* For you and me tonight

* My heart waits

* My lonely arms
are waiting too *

* My love awaits forevermore *

* Te espero

* Just for you

* You

* You

* Te espero *

Nice place.

You'll get a laugh out of this.

Last thing a fella said
to me before I left--

He said, "Be careful.
Laredo's a tough town."

Oh!

I'll teach you to fool around
with other men.

Oh!
Excuse me. Hey!

Whoa.
Get out of my way.

Huh?
Get out of my way!

Well, now, I can't exactly
oblige you right now.

- Oh, one of those trouble hounds, huh?
- No, no.

I just don't seem
to be able to move.

Well, maybe this will help.

You better stay
where you are, cowboy.

I don't like to see
new customers get killed.

I buried the last man who even
come close to knockin' me down.

What'd he die of?

Carmelita, give him his gun.

Carmelita?

Carmelita Flanagan.
Oh.

Quit stallin'
and give him his gun!

Oh, will I now?

Look, maybe you better
give me my gun.

Don't try it, either of you.

Like my old grandpappy
always said,

there's better ways
of dyin' from a bottle.

I'll have to talk to him
about that sometime.

You ain't gonna
live long enough.

Now go on, borrow a gun.
Take your pick.

Best gun made.
Try mine.

Hand-carved stock
and a good balance.

It's a killer.
Got a filed sight for a quick draw.

You guarantee the quick draw
goes with it?

- Hey, Reese, the captain wants you.
- In a minute!

Captain wants you right now.
You know what that means.

Yeah, I know.

It means this is
gonna have to wait.

Well, that's sure too bad.
I mean, I'm real disappointed.

Well, don't start cryin'.
I get off duty at sunset.

I'll see you in the plaza.

Looks like you bought yourself
another hour, mister.

That's worth a round
of drinks, ain't it?

Seems reasonable.
Uh, just who is that fella anyway?

Reese? He's one of the Rangers.

That's how come he had
to leave so sudden.

When Captain Parmalee says "right now,"
he means "immediate."

You, uh, did say drinks.

May I have my gun back now?

If I gave it to you here,

somebody else might choose you.

The house owes him a beer.

One beer coming up.

Make that whiskey.

This one's on Carmelita.
I can't let her buy me a drink.

Why not?
She owns the place.

That's different.

Uh, ma'am?

About my gun--

What are you doing in my room?

I got a better question.
What's he doing in your room?

That's none of your business.

Oh, Reese will kill you
if he finds you here.

- Reese is my friend.
- Ha!

On the other hand, however,
this man is not my friend.

Get out.

You're putting on weight,
sweetheart. Too many tacos?

It's his gun.
Oh. Oh, I'll get it for him.

Oh--
Um--

Maybe she'd like it better
if I got it.

Hmm. Maybe I would.

Maybe.

- But I wouldn't.
- Take your hands off me! Oh! Stop it!

That's enough!
That's enough! No more!

Get out of the way. Get out of the way.

- Sorry.
- Oh! Chad! No!

Carmelita, get out of the way!

Will you please
get out of the way?

Let's not waste a lot of time.
Go ahead and draw.

Mister, I got nothin' to draw.

Now hold it, Riley.

You're takin' a sight on my bird.

Well, now, he might have
been your bird, Chad,

but he was sure flyin' my way.

Suppose you
rustle yourself up a gun...

and be in the plaza about 6:00.

Isn't there anything a man
can do in Laredo except fight?

Well, yes, but you been
lookin' in the wrong places.

Sorry, Riley. This guy,
I staked out for myself.

I just don't see
your brand on him, Chad.

We'll have to settle that later.
Why later?

Captain wants us right now.

And when he says "now,"
he means "immediate."

Well, you don't mind waiting till
we get back, do you?

Oh, and, uh, bring a gun.

Fella can get killed
in this town.

It sure didn't take you long
to buy yourself three fights.

Mister, I didn't
buy myself anything.

I came in here mindin' my own business,
have a quiet beer before I hit the road.

And as soon as I get my gun back,
I'll be on my way.

Well, good luck, mister.

Come in.

I don't mind a glass of beer now
and then, but not on my dress.

Make yourself at home.
I'll, uh, be with you in a minute.

Uh, well, that's mighty
nice of you,

but I really don't have
time for a social visit.

You might as well relax.
You probably won't leave town alive anyway.

Maybe if you just told me
where my gun is--

I don't know.

I guess it fell out
during the fight.

Oh. Hand me those stockings,
will you? On the bed.

I had that bed made special.

Uh, nice place you got here.

Thanks.

What's your name, honey?

Trampas. What's yours?
I told you.

Yeah, I know, but--

What don't you believe--
the Carmelita or the Flanagan?

Well, it's, uh, kind of
an unusual combination.

I thought they sounded
pretty nice together.

At least it's a name
you don't forget easily.

I don't think you need
a trick name to be remembered.

That's better.

Now you're beginning
to act human.

Oh, I'm human, all right.

Along about now, you ought to
be asking what a pretty girl like me...

is doing running a saloon
in a town like Laredo.

All right.

What's a pretty girl like you doing
runnin' a saloon in a town like Laredo?

As a matter of fact, what's anybody in their
right mind doin' in a town like Laredo?

It's all right after
you get used to it.

-You just got off to a bad start.
-You might say that.

You know, you're kinda cute.

Maybe I can talk the boys
into not shooting you.

Um, the one they call Reese,
is he your fella?

He thinks he is.

Well, I sorta got
that impression.

Where are you from, cowboy?

A place called Medicine Bow.
It's in Wyoming.

You married?

No.
That's good.

I've got a rule--
never fool around with a married man.

Of course, you can't always be sure
a man's telling you the truth,

but at least I always ask.

Oh. Lace me up,
will you?

We've lost a train.
Go find it.

Well-- Well, glad to, Captain.

Now, just how does a train
get lost?

Now, anytime I want stupid questions,
I'll go to the state legislature.

The train from Galveston
is six hours late.

The stationmaster
at Benavides...

reported the train on time
as it went through.

Benavides-- that's, uh, less than
a hundred miles from here.

Right. After that, not a word.

Now get out and ride track
until you find it.

Now, why does it take three
of us to find one train?

Chad's smart.
He'll find it all by himself.

You may run across
more than a train.

This one happened to be carrying
a shipment of gold from Galveston,

and there might be
some nasty people around.

And I'd like one of you to get back
to Laredo with the story.

That's all. Head out.

You got yourself a good horse,
mister.

Well, I'm, uh--
I'm much obliged to you.

- Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa, boy. Whoa, boy

Well, I clean forgot about you.
Much obliged for waitin'.

I wasn't exactly waitin'.

Now just a minute.
Hold on, Reese.

This ain't gonna take no time at all.
I'll shoot him from the saddle.

That's not the point.

It just may be you got
a legitimate claim at him.

On the other hand, I got a claim
that involves the honor of a lady.

Ha! What lady did you ever know?

Careful, Reese.
I'm referring to Carmelita.

That ain't no lady.
That's my girl!

Exactly. And I stopped
this plowboy here...

from trying to force his way
into her room.

Now that gives me first shot.

Yeah, I guess you have got
a better claim to him than I--

What were you doin'
in Carmelita's room?

Well, I was just passin' by.
You know how it is.

Sure. Sure, I know how it is.
But I didn't know that you knew!

Now, Chad, I've warned you,
and I've warned Carmelita.

If I ever catch you in that room again,
I'll break your back.

Now hold on, both of you.

Now, Chad, you gave up
your claim on this fella...

when you throwed him
down the stairs.

I caught him, so he's mine.

Reese, Chad and Riley!

You were given an order!
Get going!

Yes, sir, Captain!
We're goin'.

Look, uh, young fella,

you, uh-- you wouldn't mind
waitin' for us, would you?

We'll be back
in less than a week.

Well, I sure hate
to disappoint you fellas,

but, uh, I was just
on my way out of town.

- Oh, which way you ridin'?
- East. Along the border.

Well, that's fine.
That's just the way we're goin'.

We'll ride together, and soon
as we finish our business,

we'll take up where we left off.

Well, I've heard of better reasons
for joining up with somebody,

but, uh, why not?

Let's go.
Come on! Come on!

You know, I've been thinkin'.

The only fair way to see who gets
first crack at this young fella...

is to draw straws.
That sounds fair enough.

I go along with that.

You talk like I was a box lunch
at a church social.

Well, I don't know much
about church socials--

not that I got anything
against church socials--

but they don't exactly fall under
the headin' of Ranger duty.

Now hold on just one minute.

Just what kind of an outfit
are the Texas Rangers anyway?

What do you mean?
I mean, uh,

y'all dress any way you want.

Your captain, he wears civilian clothes.
Where are your uniforms?

Well, 'cause it says
in the book...

that we provide our own clothing,
mounts and weapons.

And besides that, uniforms would
make us too good a target.

The only thing we got alike are the hats.
And they were on sale.

And speaking of hats,
you're wearin' the same color.

Welcome to the Rangers.

Great. All the hats in Medicine Bow
and I gotta pick this one.

Must have been a real big sale.
Come on.

Well, there it is.

Whoa.

I don't see anything
wrong with it.

I wonder where everybody is.
I don't know.

Nobody.
Think maybe they walked?

Fifty miles?

They didn't walk.

- Pretty messy.
- How many?

Six men-- engineer,
fireman, brakeman, clerk,

maybe two guards--
all dead.

- Safe blown open, empty.
- Six men, huh?

Worse. One of them had
his family with him.

Well, looks to me like
15, 20 riders...

headin' straight
for the Rio Grande.

Well, we'd better mount up.
Trail's coolin' off.

Are you going into Mexico?
That's where the train robbers--

What the devil's that?

Beats me.

Well, I'll be.

Oh, now, wait--
wait a minute.

Go on. Take it.
Not me. I don't know anything about babies.

Well, somebody take it!

Yeah. Yeah, you take it.
Take it back to Laredo.

Then tell Captain Parmalee
we're headed for the border...

and about the train
and everything.

That kid probably hasn't
eaten anything since yesterday.

I don't figure he'd last
as far as Laredo.

He's right. He needs
something to eat right now.

Yeah. Yeah.
I got something for him.

Now be careful with him.
I got him. Don't worry.

There you are.

Here. We're gonna have
something to eat.

Hey! Hey!
What are you doin'?

You can't feed jerky to a baby.

Well, why not?
I eat it. It's nothin' but dried beef.

Well, he's got no teeth.
What's he gonna chew it with?

Milk. That's what
you give to a baby.

Well, that's fine, Chad.
Have you got a cow in your pocket?

What about water?

Maybe just plain water
would be some help.

Well, yes, that's worth a try.

Here.
Hold that for me.

That's all right.
There.

You know, be careful.
Here you go.

Oop.
Wait, he's--

Come on. Now, somebody take him.
He's choking.

Well, you're supposed to spank him
on the backside or something like that.

Well-- No, no.
You're supposed to turn him upside down.

All right then.
Here. You take him.

Wait a minute.
I got an idea.

Here. Hold this.

What are you gonna do?
You'll see.

You sure that thing's clean?
Oh, yeah.

Hold him real still now.
All righty.

There you go, baby.

By golly, he takes to that
just like Grandpappy took to red-eye.

Give him some more.

Well, the water's
not gonna hold him forever.

He's gonna need some milk.
And I know just where there is some--

Palmero.
We are not goin' to Palmero.

You knot-heads forget Palmero
is south of the Rio Grande.

Whatever.
We been there before.

The last time, the Mexican officials
was all set to hang us.

Ah, Captain backed us up.
Sure, he did.

And he also told us
to be more careful next time.

And bustin' into Palmero is not
my idea of bein' careful.

Do you get the impression that
he doesn't want to go to Palmero?

That he might be afraid to even?

Well, I can't figure out why.

Unless he doesn't wanna
see Mama Dolores again.

Aw.

- It's not just that. I got--
- Will you quit gabbin'?

The kid needs milk.
We're goin' to Palmero.

You're goin' with us?
Sure.

Why?

Wouldn't be right to leave you
three clumsy oxes...

alone with this little baby.

Besides, I'm goin' that way myself.
Here you go, pard.

Let him play with that.

Well, will somebody
take this kid?

All right.
Then I ride point on account of the dust.

And you can bet your bunk in heaven
that I'm gonna make plenty of it.

Come on, baby.
Yes, yeah. Come on now.

Yeah, yeah.
Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.
Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.
Come on, baby.

Whoa, boy.

That's a good boy.

Come on, boy.

What do you think, Chad?

Well, it wouldn't be too tough
if we didn't have that kid.

Now, "wouldn't be's"
won't cut it.

We got the kid and we gotta get across,
so we might as well get started.

Like my old grandpappy
used to say,

"Sooner started, sooner done."

Maybe he meant "finished."

Maybe if one of us was to ride ahead
and lead your horse,

and the other two
ride alongside,

it'd give you a chance to keep
your hands free to take care of the kid.

Yeah, that sounds like
a pretty good idea.

It is. I'll lead out.
You two fellas ride flank.

How do you know so much
about crossin' rivers?

Oh, we got a few rivers
around Shiloh.

Keep 'em headed upstream!

We don't wanna be carried
down by the current.

This river don't just
fool around.

Watch out.
I'm slippin'. Watch it.

- Don't stop now. Keep goin'.
- I don't think he's a very good swimmer.

Hey there.
You all right? Huh?

You didn't get wet out there, huh?

That's the last time
I ever follow you anyplace.

Well, I got you here, didn't I?

Maybe that was a mistake.

Señores. I'm capitán Estrada
of the Mexican Rurales.

- May I ask who you are?
- We're Texas Rangers.

Oh, yes. Texas.
And yet here you are in Mexico.

Mexico?

Well, now, how'd we ever
get so turned around?

Mira, capitán.
Some bandits hit a train.

Stole the gold and killed the crew.
We followed them this far south.

And we're gonna leave this niño
here in Palmero.

I see. Well, from this point,
my Rurales and I will follow the bandits.

This is our territory.

I must ask you to leave Mexico.

But this baby needs milk.
And there's milk in Palmero.

I'm sure there is milk
in Texas also.

You will leave now,

or I shall place you
under arrest.

We might get a little fun
out of this yet.

Not with an armful of baby.

We're goin' back.

Well, I'll be
seein' you, fellas.

Where you goin'?
I got business in Palmero.

They'll let me through.
Got any money on you?

Why?

You better stick with us.
You got a better chance of gettin' there.

I thought you were headin' back.

Well, the baby still needs milk.

We'll just take a little detour.

Well, I sure hope we fooled 'em.
I'm gettin' waterlogged.

Well-- Well, one way to find out.
Let's go, amigos.

Kind of a quiet town,
wouldn't you say?

Well, don't let it fool you.

There's people inside these buildings
lookin' us over.

We could be Yaquis.
Are they still around?

He wants to know
if the Yaquis are still around.

When they come down out
of the hills on a raid,

they don't even leave
the grass alive.

They're so mean,
they even hate each other.

Oh. Sort of Mexican
Texas Rangers.

Well, La Casa de Oro--
food, music, drinks.

All yours.

But not Mama Dolores.
She's already taken.

Trampas, you give it to her.
She'll know what to do with it.

Well, I don't know Mama Dolores.

Well, you will.

Now you take it in there.
I gotta send a wire.

Ah, now, the wire can wait.
You take it in.

Come on.

Oh, no.

Kid, you got no manners at all.

I shouldn't have give ya
all that water.

Come on, Reese.

Mama Dolores!

Ah.

Mama!
¡Hola!!Hola!

So, you have come back.

And what is this you bring me?

Well, it's a--

- it's a baby.
- Whose baby?

We found it.
Ha, ha!

Listen to this betrayer of women,
this teller of lies to innocent young--

Now just one minute.

You're not young and you're not innocent,
and I'm not tellin' a lie.

- Bah!
- Now, here. Take it and feed it.

And first, you'd better change it.

Ah, ¡mío querido!

Sí, sí.
My poor little one!

And you are hungry too, huh?

That's right, it's hungry.
It needs milk.

You stupid one!
You tell me he needs milk? Me?

Come.

Move these things. Move them.

Why?

Move them.
¡Pronto!!Pronto!

Estrallita!
Gaviota!

- All of you, come up.
- It is not the Yaquis.

It's 1,000 times worse!

I gotta send the wire.

Oh, don't take the bit in your teeth.
There's plenty of time.

I tell you, I got to send the wire.
If Captain--

Surely you want to stay
and say hello to the girls.

¡Papá mío!
You have come back.

Now listen here.
Your mother put you up to callin' me that.

I'm not your father, and you know it.
She say you will be.

Oh, she does, does she?
Gaviota.

Come here.

We go into the kitchen.
Fix the baby and warm some milk, huh?

And listen--

Heads.
You pay.

Do you mind if I look at that?

Oh, you don't think I'd cheat you, do you?
Sure I do.

Reese.

Now, we-- we speak a little more about
you fou that baby.

There's nothing to explain.

It was on this train
all by itself.

And we come along,
and there it was.

And the baby was traveling alone
at that age, huh?

- What do you take me for?
- Everybody else was killed.

Besides, I don't have
to explain to you.

There should be no secrets
between husband and wife.

- Husband and wife?
- Yes!

All right, drink up, everybody.
To the bride and groom.

Bueno.
I will drink to that.

Come, Reese, come.

No, I can't. I gotta send a wire
to Captain Parmalee.

Aw, drink up.

You know, maybe you
fellas forgot our orders.

Now, I'm gonna send that wire.
Then we're hittin' the trail.

Did it ever occur to you Reese
is liable to send that wire...

- and keep right on goin'?
- I do not think so.

- What makes you so sure?
- Mmm.

Who stole my horse?

Our horses are gone-- all of them!
Now, who stole 'em?

My daughter. I told her to.

So you're bringin' up your own daughter
to be a horse thief, huh?

¡Silencio!
You will wake the baby.

Gaviota!

- Yes, Mama?
- Is the milk warm?

Yes, Mama.
Bueno.

Then I will feed the baby.
Gaviota will fix something for you to eat.

And we will have the church wedding
the next time Padre Cariara comes to town.

Ha, ha.

Flip you to see who's best man.

Friends.

Papá mío, muchachos.
Here's your food.

Ah, I think it's time you were
settlin' down anyway, Reese.

Yeah. Yeah.

Let's go get some grub.

All right, old friends.

Maybe I will do just that.

And I'll be settin' here up to
my collar button in family grub.

Uh-huh.
And family wine.

And any other family thing
you're a mind to name.

And you can just go
mountain-goatin'...

after those bandits
all by yourselves.

And you know what?
I'll be settin' right here,

prayin' for a blizzard.
And after all we've done for him, huh?

Well, come on, cowboy.
Join the weddin' feast.

Gracias.

- Pass the chicken.
- Sí, sí.

Oh, this little one--
he was hungry.

Ah! Niño.

You-- Uh, you are
a Ranger too?

No.
Then what are you doing here?

Well, uh, I'm on my way
to the Alvarez ranch.

Don Carlos Alvarez?
Oh, he's a very rich man.

Well, you see, uh,
don Carlos has this prize bull.

I'm supposed to pick him up
and take him back to Wyoming.

You come all this way
just to pick up a bull?

That's right.

What's the matter with
the bulls in the States?

I don't know, but when I get back,
I'll have to look into it.

- You have ranch of your own?
- Well, uh--

And, uh, you have
very much money, yes?

Oh, he's got lots of money.
Why, he's rich.

Listen.

My daughter Gaviota--
she will soon be 16.

It's the Yaquis!

Come on, all of you.
Quick. Down.

Come on.

You too, Mama.
Get down there with 'em now.

No, I don't hide from anyone!

Mama?
Huh?

You watch yourself now.
Sure.

¡Yaqui!!A los caballos!
¡Pronto!!Vámonos!

Looks like they've had enough.

If I know Yaquis, they'll be back.

You got any idea why the Yaquis
are raiding Palmero?

Who knows? Maybe they came
to celebrate Reese's weddin'.

For the last time,
I'm not gettin' married!

Now, about
your weddin', Reese--

Everybody gonna get
to kiss the bride?

Look, fellas, the joke's
gone far enough!

You think that shotgun of Mama Dolores's
is in on the joke?

Now, Mama Dolores--
there's quite a gal.

Comes equipped
with a ready-made family.

That's about enough outta you.

Well, at least you're
gonna eat good.

Sure gonna be disappointin'
to your girl back in Laredo though.

If you spill one word of this to Carmelita,
I'll bust your head.

They're gonna come in both ways.
Watch that far end.

I don't need any advice
about Yaquis.

If you tell Carmelita
about this--

Here they come again.

Look there--
that blue coat with brass buttons.

Hey, that sounds
like a Winchester.

Now, where would they
get one of those?

Five bucks says he got it
from one of the train crew.

Train crew?

You're out of your head.
Yaquis don't rob trains.

- Put your money where your mouth is.
- For how much?

- Five will get you 10.
- I'll buy it.

I'll take a piece.
How you gonna prove it?

I'm just gonna ask him.

He's sure goin' to a lot
of trouble for five dollars.

Did it ever occur to you two
that they're trying to kill us?

Who?
The Yaquis.

Well, I guess that is
one way of puttin' it.

Let him take a few.
It'll do him good.

I'm just tryin'
to help your friend out.

You are friends.
Are you crazy?

I wouldn't lift a little finger to help
that worthless, no-good--

Riley, behind ya!

Should have gotten in on that bet, Trampas.
Yaquis never rob trains.

Why not?

Money's no good to 'em.
They can't spend it.

Then how do they get their guns--
pick 'em off the trees?

Nah, they steal 'em.

I got $20 that says
you're wrong this time.

You got a bet.

Oh, no, you don't.
Half of that's mine.

All right, Trampas.
How do you think they got those guns?

Probably bought 'em
from gunrunners...

with the gold they stole
off the train.

You want my half of that bet?

Five bucks, my little pigeons.
Look at them buttons.

Might as well pay him.

I'll take 20.

Twenty? You win 20,
and I get shot at?

Here.
You got a better game goin' than I have.

Well, I guess they've had a bellyful.

I can't figure out why they
fought us in the first place.

Well, why not?

Palmero's a small town.
The peón run scared.

Yaquis figure on a quick raid
and no fightin'.

What'd they figure when they came
up against four Winchesters?

Well, suppose he's right.

Yaquis hit that train
and stole the gold.

If I was a gunrunner,

I don't figure I'd wanna
make any deliveries...

with the Rangers
sniffin' around.

You mean somebody sent 'em
to wipe us out?

- Well, then who was it?
- Reese, that's a real good question.

Let's go see how
your family's making out.

Yeah.

Come on. Let's get those kids
out of there. Right.

That's it.
We don't wait for the padre.

We find a judge
and get married quick.

There's no time for a weddin' now.
Now, get those horses. Now!

Now, for something that important,
we can make time.

Time for what?

Come on. All of you.
Into the kitchen.

¡Pronto!!Pronto!

Hurry, hurry.
Go!

Señores, does, uh--

Does my memory fail me,
or did I not order you to leave Mexico?

Oh, well, you didn't, uh--
You didn't say positively.

Indeed.

Now, look, Captain.
Now, those Indians out there...

robbed the train and
stole the gold in Texas.

Oh, yes. Yaquis have
no respect for the border.

But that does not excuse you.

I'm ordering you to leave...
now. Positively.

Uh, capitán,
I'd like to ask you something.

Yes?

How is it you and your men
just happened to be in Palmero?

It is no concern of yours.

You leave, or I'll have you
tied hand to foot...

and dumped across
your precious border.

That's the way
we take pigs to market.

Riley, did he call us pigs?

I don't know.
Sounded like it.

He called us pigs.

Lay off. This one's mine.

Dispénseme, capitán.
I don't understand.

What is it
you do not understand?

Oh, about pigs, Captain.
Well, the way you take 'em to market.

Well, see, we do it quite different.
We don't tie 'em up.

We kill 'em
and butcher 'em first.

Now, if you mean that
as a threat,

let me remind you that I am supported
by a sizable group of Rurales and--

Well, let's hope their capitán stays
alive to lead 'em out of Palmero.

But, señores,
you-you misunderstand me.

I mean, your presence here
was a surprise,

- but of no real importance.
- Of course not.

Of course not.
So now I leave, eh?

I leave to continue my pursuit
of the Yaqui bandits.

I hope we--

we meet soon under more
favorable circumstances.

I thought these were kinda
favorable myself.

Adiós, capitán.

Hasta la vista.

Now we get back to the business
of the wedding, huh?

Look, Mama, we gotta go
find those Yaquis.

Oh, let's finish our supper first.
Gunfights always give me an appetite.

Estrallita, Gaviota, bring some more food.
Yeah.

- Come on, son.
- Um, I think I'll be on my way.

You don't like my Gaviota?

No-- I mean,
I like her just fine.

Except that I told my boss

I wouldn't get married till
I finish the job he sent me on.

Don't take any wooden pesos, huh?

So long.
Adiós.

Oh, I forgot.
You stole my horse.

Oh, no, no. No, he's in the barn
in back of the house next door.

Mama.

¡Buen viaje!

Mama?
Hmm?

You just saved us from having
to search the whole town.

Ah, I have to see
about the food.

Oh, no, you don't.

You don't get out of my sight again.
No--

Sit down there. Sit down.

You're gonna keep us
company till we finish.

Don't you know you can get hanged
for stealing a Ranger's horse?

Now we're gettin' somewhere.

How about a little
of that chicken?

Ah! Los chiles.
Oh!

Oh, a real family scene--
Mama Dolores and Papa Reese.

He is a fine bull--
purebred.

Five generations back.

- Yes, sir. He sure looks it.
- I wish you good luck.

Thank you.

Hey, by the way, his name is
Hidalgo Fortunata de Cruces y Tampico.

Hidalgo Fortunata--

Well, I'll just call him
Sam for short.

Hasta luego.
Adiós.

Well, at least we know
that kid's in good hands.

Yeah, with Mama Dolores and
those five girls fussin' over him.

He'll never have it
that good again.

Too bad that Trampas
fella pulled out.

He was beginnin'
to shape up all right.

Yeah, that's what your girl
in Laredo thought too.

Whoa, boy. Whoa.
Whoa.

Now, boys, we better watch it.
That Yaqui trail is gettin' pretty fresh.

The ground's hard.

I'd say they're still four,
five hours ahead of us.

Yeah? Well, five says
we find 'em before dark.

You got yourself a bet.

Pay me.

What are they doin'?
Just settin' around.

They're probably waitin'
for their gunrunners.

Why don't we go find them first?

Most likely place they're
gonna be is right here.

Twenty dollars says I can find
those gunrunners before midnight.

You know, Riley, with you around,
every day is payday.

You're on.

- In cash, if you don't mind.
- You know, Riley,

I'm wonderin' how you know so much
about how gunrunners operate.

Maybe it's just 'cause I've been
around a little more than you have.

Oh.

Besides, I spotted the smoke
from their fire a long time ago.

Yeah, well, just don't ever bet Reese
on the best way to rustle cows.

Thank you, sir.
I like a man who pays his debts promptly.

Let's go.

All right, come on.
Let's get started.

All right.

Ew! Worst coffee
I ever tasted.

Come on. Let's get
these slugs out of here.

I'll get these.

We gonna plug all the rifles?

All we got time for.

We'll put those on top and
break the action on the rest.

Here's one to get started with.

Them Yaquis oughta be
asleep by now.

We can sneak into their camp
and see if the gold is there.

Yeah, well, how would we know where
to look for it, especially in the dark?

I say we wait until the gunrunners
deliver those busted guns.

When they bring out the gold to pay
for 'em, we can take it away from 'em.

Just the three of us?
In broad daylight?

Well, there can't be more
than 20 or 30 of 'em.

Hold it.
What's the matter?

Yaquis.

Are you crazy?
We're not within a mile of their camp.

They never put a guard
out this far.

- You sure?
- Well, sure I'm sure.

You tellin' me I don't know
how Yaquis behave?

Buenos días.

It is not a good day
for you, señor.

It's perhaps the worst
day of your life.

Well, I'm afraid you got
the wrong idea about me.

I wasn't with those Rangers.
I was here on business.

Uh, our paths just happened
to cross for a while.

- Where are they?
- Oh, I don't know. I left them in Palmero.

I do not believe you.

Take a look around.
Just Sam and me.

- Sam?
- Him.

Bought him from señor Alvarez.
I'm taking him back to the States.

Uh-huh. Jose--

I'll ask you once more.

Where are your friends?

And I'll tell you once more.
I don't know.

Now if you'll tell your men to get out
of my way, I'll be moseyin' along.

Your gun, please.

Your gun.

Jose.

¡Dámelo!

Now you will mosey along,
as you call it, with us.

This way.
¡Vámonos!

Ven aquí.

¡Venga!

Aquí.

Well, look who's here.

Well, I don't know what
you fellas did this time,

but it must have been a beaut.

Well, let me introduce you...

to the world's greatest authority
on the habits of the Yaqui Indians.

I was considering getting you out of this.
You just changed my mind.

Is this what you came after?

Sure is.

- I told you we'd find it.
- Congratulations.

All you have to do now is figure
a way to get it back to Texas.

- Got a real practical mind, hasn't he?
- Yeah.

Funny you should mention that.
We were just thinkin' about the same thing.

Hey, how come they nabbed you?

I guess they didn't like
the company I used to keep.

Oh. There was a fella there
with a bandage around his head.

He, uh, said something
about gringos.

Yeah. I knew I should've
hit him harder.

I wonder how they figure
on doin' it.

What do you think, Reese?
Ants and honey?

No, no, not a chance.
They got no ants up here.

They'll let the squaws
do it with rocks.

Ants and honey.
Rocks is too fast.

The world's greatest authority.
Twenty says I'm right.

You're on.
I say squaws and rocks.

I'll lay 50 you're both wrong.

Knives. And the way they do it,
they can make it last for a week.

Why not make it winner take all?
I guess the fire pit.

Fire pit?
Yaquis never use fire.

Now, look, plowboy,
just 'cause you made...

a good guess about them
hittin' that train--

He's right again.

Hey, they're unloadin'
the rifles.

Too bad we won't be around
to see the payoff.

Maybe we will be.

¡Capitán!!Capitán Estrada!

What is the meaning of this?
Well--

Oh, I see. You have come to--
to beg for your life, huh?

No, I came to demand our rights.

I'm afraid you do not
have any rights.

You see, even if I wanted
to save you-- which I do not--

I couldn't.

You and your friends have intruded
in my business dealings with the Yaquis.

Oh, I'm not asking you
to save us.

But as one military man to another,
I do think you owe us...

a better way to die than
these Yaquis have in mind.

What do you suggest?

Let us die like soldiers--
be shot by a firing squad.

Firing squad?
Sí.

Hmm. I have never commanded
a firing squad.

You may never get
another chance.

Yes. Yes. The idea has merit.
All right. It shall be done.

Bring the prisoners.

This will be good practice
for my men.

Ah, we appreciate it, capitán.

Oh, happy to oblige.

What's this all about, huh?
Never saw a man worry so much.

At least I wanna know
what I'm worryin' about.

So we meet again.
We sure do, you dirty--

Reese! The capitán's
gonna do us a big favor.

Yeah? Well, you can
tell him that--

He's gonna have us shot
by a firing squad.

Well, thanks a lot.

Oh, it's nothing.
It's the least I can do for old friends.

- Blindfold the prisoners.
- No, we don't need that.

Good. I like to see a man
die with his eyes open.

Yes, sir. We want to look right
down the muzzles of those rifles.

- Don't we, fellas?
- We sure do.

Right down the muzzles.

What's so good about that?

Y'all make it sound like
we're goin' to a picnic.

- Shut up.
- All right, men.

Fall in.
Ten paces away.

Capitán, you're not
getting the rifles.

Oh, the rifles
are for the Yaquis.

No, we'll, uh--
We'll use our pistol.

No, sir. That's illegal.
A firing squad has to use rifles.

Oh, he's right.
It says in the book.

Besides, rifles hit harder.
They make you bounce.

Very well. Very well.

Get some rifles.

Señores, whenever you're ready.

We, uh-- We gonna
make a break for it?

Don't move.
Well, I don't get it.

We just gonna stand here
and let him blow our heads off?

Long as he uses those rifles,
it'll be a pleasure.

Firing squad, attention!

Ready!

Aim!

Fire!

Now what?
You sell us guns that will not shoot.

Now-Now, listen--
You tried to cheat us.

It's-It's a trick!

Hey!
Gentlemen, uh, shall we be off?

Yo.

"Found lost train.
Followed Yaquis.

Rekovered"--

You spell that with a "C,"
not a "K."

"Rekovered gold with the help
of Rurales Captain Estrada."

You been busting
into Mexico again?

Well, sir, it's only--
Only by invitation.

I've been informed
by the Mexican government...

that Captain Estrada is suspected
of selling guns to the Yaquis.

Now, why would
he help you three?

It, uh--

It wasn't entirely voluntary.
It's in the report there.

"Captain Estrada
and 10 Rurales...

killed by Yaquis.

Died good."

What kind of report
is that, Reese?

"Died good"?

Well, they--
they hollered good.

How did you get in this?

Oh, well, sir, uh,
you see, there's this, uh--

well, this ranch in Wyoming
called Shiloh,

and, uh, they sent me
down here...

to get this bull they bought,
and then--

Forget it. Ah, where are
those applications?

I just want your name
and your age.

I don't wanna know where you're
from or why you wanna.

When you finish this,
raise your right hand.

I'm sorry, Captain.

I got a bull I gotta get back to Shiloh.
He's waitin' outside.

Well, if you ever
change your mind--

As for you three,
what happened to the baby?

Well--

What baby, sir?

The baby that was on the
train when it left Benavides.

- Oh, that baby!
- Yeah, that baby.

Uh, well, sir, we took that baby
and left it in Palmero with Mama Dolores.

Yeah, yeah. That's right, sir.
That's right.

We couldn't very well take
care of it ourselves, sir.

No, sir.

And why was there no mention
of a baby in your report?

Reese--
I didn't see any reason why--

Well, we, uh--
we know how you like short reports, sir.

- Yeah, that's right, sir.
- All right. Now you can write another.

And you can assure a worried
and grieving aunt...

that the baby will be
returned immediately.

The baby is all right?

Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Everything was in good working
order the last time I held it.

- The last time we saw it.
- Then go get it.

Right now!

Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

Oh, you--

You didn't make any bets with them?
Uh, yes, sir.

You've been robbed.

Well, not exactly.

Hey.

Nice goin'.
Captain.

Well, so long, son.

Sure you don't want
to come along with us?

Well, you're gonna miss the weddin'.

Now, listen here, Riley.
That's just about all I wanna hear of that.

Sam, all I can say is
you'd better be worth it.

Whoa. Well, Sam, we made it.

Hi.
Howdy.

Did you have a good trip?
Not bad. Not bad.

Hey, he looks like
he's in pretty good shape.

Everything go all right?

Well, I didn't try to fill
any inside straights...

or steal anybody's girl...

or see how much liquor
I could drink.

Sounds like a pretty dull trip.

I wouldn't go quite that far.

All right, let's get a ramp up here
and start bringin' him down.

Be careful with him.
He cost a lot of money.
