Get back in the house, you pigs.

Tired friend It's only water but you're welcome to it

Doesn't look to me like you're armed

It's not very healthy to travel without a gun around these parts

got money on you

Not bad.

They'll let it be said Pratt refuses a deal when it comes to helping a man.

I'll keep your $20, and you keep my pistol here. That all right?

What'd you say your name was, amigo?

Hey, you.

You haven't answered my question.

Anyone who turns his back on me is making a serious mistake.

I said, what's your name, Mexican?

My name

is Paco.

Behold the man of Ego.

Nothing, nothing at all. Early this morning it began spluttering a few words

then it went completely dead.

I've been here since yesterday, Doctor, waiting for news from San Antonio.

You can't let us down, Smith. The telegraph is our only contact with

this godforsaken town. We have to move out of here the way the others did.

I don't want to leave my Mary to get killed in this rat hole.

You've got to get that darn apparatus of yours working. But I've done everything

possible, Doctor. Here, I'll prove it to you.

Good morning, Dr. Burton. Good? What's so good about it?

Don't worry, Dr.

Burton. The rangers will arrive any day now.

Everyone nowadays so jumpy, I can't even drive a nail straight.

in the casket of rum.

Go on inside.

They'll be heading this way.

Don't kill him!

RUN!

power of speech towards your memory.

Don't tell me you want to enjoy all that money by yourself.

Enjoy it all by yourself without sharing it with your friends.

That's not very nice of you, Brack. In fact, I'd say that's not very nice of

at all.

It was full, Brack.

It was full when we cleaned out that bank in Laredo.

Where'd you put it?

I made a mistake to trust a double -crossing rat like you.

Where did you think you were going?

Straight to hell with you!

You idiot.

You killed him off too fast.

Can't deal with a corpse?

How are we going to find that money now?

Go and take a look.

Nothing, just rum barrel.

That guy looked like jackasses now.

He must have hidden away the money while we were waiting at the pass.

Hurt Alex.

String him up.

We'll follow the wagon.

Mount up.

They're here again.

That dirty... Calm down, Papa.

It doesn't do any good. You're just hurting yourself.

I'll come. down the day that I see somebody with courage enough to kill

butcher.

Now we're even, so pay up.

In San Juan, it wasn't so simple as that, but it's still a pleasure to pay.

They don't need the telegraph, anyway.

You sit over there.

And it's sure hospitable in this place without any sheriff.

Yeah, sheriffs don't last too long here in Houston.

It's too damp in the summer.

too cold in winter. Very unhealthy for sheriffs. It sure is, Alex.

After you strung up five in only eight months, pretty good seasons work without

making any of them suffer.

After each one, Morton recited one of his five sermons. Who is this Morton?

You shall bury the dead.

The sins of iniquity have perished because your left hand, O Lord, crushes

enemies. Lucifer, wait. I'm not finished yet. Stop.

I've never seen a gravedigger looking more like a gravedigger.

Reminds me of a vulture.

Eddie, this one's on the house, ain't it? Yeah, of course, amigo.

I respect the law.

The law is the barrel of your pistol.

That's how we can live peacefully without any sheriff around. Hey, where

going?

He's my brother, Ned.

I've only been here a month. He doesn't even own a pistol. That may be why I

still have a brother.

I like the Chihuahua better.

And this here's Mr. Gordon from Laredo. I got a wife and kids. I wouldn't cross

you.

So everybody's happy.

Hey, you. Beautiful.

Yeah, you.

Bring us something to eat. Go on.

Now, if you hope to live a little longer, you better do as I tell you,

If all goes well, we'll leave you alone to take a vacation across the border.

And if you try anything nasty, we'll make a beautiful bonfire in your house

with you inside it.

You drink too much?

Tequila what's that?

Tequila Well, I don't know what you know though. You're a Mexicano He ain't

allowed to sell Mexicans liquor. Neither are Mexicans allowed to drink liquor

that right Bert Man, like you is much better off drinking mules milk.

I Am thirsty he's thirsty you hear that Bert What do we do about that? I'll blow

his head off.

How about that?

No, that's much too easy. And Mexicans don't have heads anyway.

But this one's different.

He's carrying a gun.

Everyone knows that Mexicans aren't allowed to carry guns. That means he's

looking for trouble.

Well, seeing is how you're carrying a gun, Mexicano.

Let's see if you know how to use it.

I don't drink whiskey.

I don't like it.

I said I drink tequila.

Tequila.

Tequila, por favor.

You're cutting your life short, stranger.

Those two men work for Joe Klain.

I've made more work for you.

Oh, no friend. No, I wouldn't touch anyone who works for claim They're much

dangerous dead than they are live

We're

waiting time no use searching anymore The only thing we'll ever

find around here is vultures let's go back claim

One of these days we'll have the Rangers on our necks.

There's no money to be found in a thousand miles of this here desert.

That pig must have taken a detour to Houston.

Why?

Why didn't he go across the border?

Because he's working for someone else.

That's why.

I'm not leaving this place until we've found that money.

Rangers. or no Rangers.

I aim to find out who he worked for.

And if one of you is dealing with five aces, he's as good as dead and buried.

What are you doing here?

Do you like cemeteries?

God doesn't speak only through the mouth of Moses, but through his pastors as

well.

I'm ready to recite any type of sermon, even ones that the Bible doesn't

include.

You don't believe me.

You're mistaken not to trust Morton, stranger.

They all come to me one day or another.

A Mexicano, you say?

Yeah, a Mexicano. They already had their guns out, but he was even faster.

I didn't even realize what was happening.

I can't believe it.

Those two boys could do anything with their pistols, except eat them.

And they were outgrown by a two -bit Mexicano.

If you ask me, this whole damn story smells fishy.

You've known me for a long while.

You know I keep my word.

What's more, you can bet your whole stinking pigsty here against the dollar

I'll catch up with that damn Mexicano.

And when I do, I'm going to skin him alive.

And I mean it.

And if I should find out you'd something to do with it, you'd better take a gun

and shoot your brains out before I get back here.

Blackie, Bud, Emerson, you stay here.

Easy on the whiskey and keep your eyes open.

You crazy?

They're looking for you. Better go away quick. There are three men inside the

cantina.

I don't want them to kill you.

We both want the same thing.

What is your name?

Nina. Pretty.

Where are you from?

From Boquilla, near the Sierra Santiago. We now live in the old mission.

My father, my brother, and my sister.

We've been trying to cultivate the land. It's a hard life, but we eat.

Does the trapdoor in the back...

Still work?

Yes, but how did you know about it?

I know a great deal about this village.

I've seen people born here and die here.

How is that?

I was born here.

This is the best I can do for you. Don't tease. Hey, bring another plate of

those for me, huh?

Make sure everything's ready when the others get here.

Hey, where you been, princess?

You meet anyone out there?

Well, answer me.

Blackie, aren't you forgetting your manners?

Come out with me to the shed tonight. I'll treat you like a real lady.

Come on, you've got nothing to be scared of, honest.

I'm not going to bite you.

Go to the cellar and bring some more wine, Eddie.

Go on!

And make it fast.

Wouldn't you like to have a little fun, Blackie?

Come on, look. You ever seen such a pretty sight?

Let her go!

You coward!

You have to wash them. These girls are as dirty as mules.

Let her go, you!

There's nothing I hate as much in this world as a filthy Mexicano.

Now, wouldn't it be nice if this is the one Klain is looking for?

Yeah.

Boys, I think we're in business.

That goes so far as to call it a damn miracle.

Imagine Klain's hunting for this Mexicano and he's standing in front of

grinning like a cat. This little greaser drops right from the sky.

I'd say it's mighty stupider.

That's mighty smart.

Spit out your name, Mexicano.

Dead men can't hear.

And you, my friend, are dead.

My name is Pecos.

You have some very good wine in the cellar.

Some very precious wine.

Hello friend

I tell you, they'll murder every one of us.

Come away from there, Doctor.

It's better if they don't see you. Listen to Ned, Papa.

When the Rangers come, they'll get what they deserve. If I was only able to

handle a gun, I could throw a stick of dynamite.

Calm down, Papa.

It'll be over very soon.

Are you seeing me?

Twenty dollars.

Not bad.

After all, even your own brother, Eddie, is in cahoots with that killer.

But Eddie didn't have any choice at all.

When Murchison was murdered, you know as well as I do where Eddie suddenly got

the money with which he took over the saloon.

Inside Joe Klain's pocket, I know. Isn't that right, Ned?

I was practicing in Bandera when they brought in one day a man who was in

Klain's gang.

He'd been shot seven times. He was very weak due to loss of blood.

I tried to get him back on his feet, but he was practically a finished man when

he'd been brought in.

I did everything I could, but it was no use.

He was past saving.

But he worked for Klain.

And then Klain, one day, came to Bandera.

Here.

Here, look at my hands.

Klain broke every bone in them, pounded on them with the butt of his six

-shooter.

And now you won't forget Joe Klain, he said to me.

Can there be a greater punishment for a man who's a doctor?

That's enough.

We've had enough fun for one day.

You wasted enough energy.

And too much time, too. And what about the money Brock made off with, huh?

How do you know about that?

Is that money hidden?

In a safe place.

What do you mean, huh?

Well, speak up, Greaser.

Speak.

I was in the canyon when the wagon passed by under me.

They were arguing about some money they'd both stolen from a bank in

They agreed to spit the money evenly.

You know the rest.

And who are you?

Just a Mexican pay on I Could see that for myself

There are too many Mexican even in Mexico

isn't that right pay on Something the matter with

your throat You have two sharp eyes Mexicano

I know a good way to close them for good

Could be he was telling the truth.

Or maybe Brack was working with this greaser.

I'll believe anything now.

Junker. Yeah?

Stay here.

See that he doesn't get restless.

I'm going to have another look around the canyon.

We'll follow those wagon tracks again.

No tracks anywhere, Clayton.

If a wagon came by here, I'll eat my hat. Look again.

I can't see a thing, Clayton. Just our own tracks.

If that Mexicana was lying to me, I'll go back to Houston and scalp my hair at

time.

I know he told you something very interesting.

You Mexicans sniff each other out like dogs.

Like, for instance, I saw you speaking together the other night.

I see everything at night.

As it says in the Bible, look into the shadows and your eyes will seek out the

light.

But there are things not written that Morton knows just as well.

Quite honestly, I'm ready to do anything for money.

I'd even do good.

So why not let me help you?

His days are up anyway.

Is it a deal?

You tell me who he is?

Or would you prefer writing his name on a tombstone?

Anyway, the minute clean gets here, it's a pity.

Pecos! Come with me.

I know a safe place.

Put him on this sofa.

There.

Easy now. Easy.

You're taking an awful beating.

Some water. Quick.

Give it to me.

Here.

You mustn't stay here any longer. I know Klain.

I also know Klain.

You've lost lots of blood, but it doesn't seem too serious.

So my advice is to get out of town before before cleaning his men come back

start searching all the houses Nina and I will find some supplies on a horse.

I have to There's something urgent have to do don't try to get up.

I'll leave I'll leave your house But not the village Nina

they'll find you if you stay here.

They'll look for you to go hurry

A knife tied to a cord.

A cord.

He seems to have friends.

Very clever trick.

But I know a few tricks, too.

He's more dangerous than I thought.

Killing him's the only answer.

Yes, maybe you're right.

We'll make sure he doesn't give us any more trouble next time.

Hey. Go easy on that.

Save it for later.

All right, wait outside.

Hey, Clayton, look at this.

There's a hole right here.

A cord.

Where's it coming from?

The spinning wheel.

That girl was spinning there for hours.

Or pretending to.

Mexicano.

You've got one minute, Eddie.

And I'm going to kill your brother.

One minute more... and I'll kill you as well.

Answer me.

Where'd she go?

I'm not sure. Where?

There are many places she... Name a few. I'll go out and look.

No! Eddie!

I'd look down at the old mission house on the road to the pass.

That's where her people are.

Well, split into two groups.

You and Slim look along the border. The rest of you come with me. I want that

girl back.

Where you taking that?

You didn't tell me you had branch offices in the town. It's for Dr.

never drink.

Oh, if I had a dollar for every time you were drunk, I'd be as rich as the

Archbishop of Canterbury. Well, as they say, if you don't drink, what's the good

of having a mouth? Oh, that sounds so cynical.

But I'll go with you. I've got to see the doctor, too. Oh, wait a minute.

I'll help you carry it. It looks terribly heavy.

Here, give it to me. Yeah, but...

Leave it to Lucille.

This is your home, Pecos.

And if for any reason at all you need me, for the little help I can give, I'll

do whatever I can for you.

Don't worry about me.

Thanks.

You've been kind.

Someone's coming.

What do you want, Eddie? And you too, Martin.

The less I see of you two, the better I feel.

What are you doing around here? We came to see you.

There's no reason to get excited like that, Doctor. It's only a friendly

I was accompanying Eddie, helping him carry a barrel of wine.

You shall tend the vineyard of the Lord our God.

There's nothing against wine in the Bible.

Nothing.

And the wine in this barrel is really very special.

I don't want to have anything to do with either of you.

Well, I don't mean to appeal to your sense of solidarity, but there is

in common between a doctor and a pastor, isn't there? What are you talking

about, you vulture? Go back to your cemetery and feed on the dead. I don't

anything from either of you. You can take back your wine.

But it's a present from my brother Ned, Doctor.

I received an entire wagon load of wine from Boquilla. It's the finest wine.

What of it?

My brother told me we ought to offer some to Dr.

Burton. Of course, I said, sure.

Yes, that's right.

You must drink up the wine before you can spit it out, as the proverb says.

Well, as long as it's a gift from your brother, I'll take it.

bandits now.

Klain went away.

He and his men are looking for that Mexicano and the girl.

It's not going to be very easy to find them. The desert's large and that

Mexican's very shrewd. Yeah.

Maybe somebody should pay a visit to the parents of that girl Nina.

I'll carry in the wine.

I'll leave it here.

I'll bring it inside.

Yeah.

certainly ain't very hospitable.

No, no.

No, no.

For instance, if anyone came to visit me with a barrel of wine, I would invite

him right inside.

Here, they just slam the door on your face.

Some people are very strange, or else, or else not so strange.

No, wait.

Do you value your life?

And hers?

What do you mean?

I mean if you really value your life.

Get rid of these.

This wine is dangerous.

Eddie's not even worth wasting a bullet on. I'm sure he'd even sell his own soul

for one dollar.

But I can't believe he put poison in the barrel.

Some things are more deadly than poison.

Klain left town looking for something.

And what he is looking for is inside that.

What's your name?

And just tell us what we should do.

My name is Pecos.

All right, Pecos.

You have a man who can't move his fingers and two petticoats at your

That's not very encouraging, but we'll try to do our best.

What'll we do?

Have you any weapons in the house?

Just my old pistol and a couple of sticks of dynamite.

That'll do.

And I'll need some red paint.

No, not a trace, Clayton. The wagon never crossed the river.

I hope Jack has found that girl. Ride back to Houston, you two.

How will we go?

Away to the North Canyon.

Right. You following us?

No, we'd better ride south. I don't want any surprise.

Hey, you. See anyone go by?

No, senor.

Think again.

You better tell me the truth and not waste my time.

What do you want?

I'm looking for your daughter.

She was with a Mexicana who was armed and on horseback.

We're heading in this direction.

It's impossible you didn't see him.

Nina comes here very rarely. She works in the village, you know that. At the

house of Senor Eddie.

Who's she?

Lola, Nina's older sister.

Well, as long as we're here, let's have a little bit of fun, huh?

Now, I ain't gonna hurt you.

Thank you.

What do you want here at this hour? I have to talk to you. All I've got is $8.

know it's not much to buy a good horse, but somehow I've just got to get to

Laredo before tonight.

Well, does Eddie know?

Oh, my brother's only too happy to get me out from under his feet. You mean you

haven't told Eddie?

Listen, I've just got to have a horse.

You're acting mighty suspicious. What are you going to do in Laredo? Are the

girls any better there than in San Juan or Baquilla?

It's just over the border.

Mexican girls. Mexican girls have ways to make a man happier than any woman in

Laredo. And they give you credit, too.

Give me your horse, Frank. I want to go call the Rangers.

Is your brother in the saloon?

Now, you listen to me. I suddenly become very thirsty, and I wouldn't mind a

nice bottle of beer.

I'm going to go have one.

As for my horse, if a boy comes along who's slightly out of his head and

to run off with it, how would I know?

I'm in the saloon drinking my beer.

Good luck to you, boy.

Get on your feet.

Where you going?

I said, where are you going?

Pecos!

Pecos!

Pecos!

Don't shout, I hear you.

Listen, Pecos, Klain's men, they... Klain's men, they killed my brother,

He was shot in cold blood.

I thought you only cared for money.

I did once, Pecos, but not anymore.

When I saw my brother lying in the middle of the road, I...

He was going to ask the Rangers to come here.

See, I know.

Whatever gave him the idea to go and get the Rangers.

And all along.

He did it for Nina.

For us all.

So now, what do you want from me?

I want you to help me.

And I'll help you.

Spit it out. What is it you want?

About the barrels.

They contain $80 ,000.

I made a deal with Brack. I was to hide the money.

Think whatever you like, but $80 ,000, a lot of money to us.

I didn't mind splitting it.

There was enough there for all of us.

But Joe Klain, the money's hidden away.

I know.

It's hidden inside the doctor's house.

Isn't that so?

That's right.

But I want Joe Klain to pay for my brother's death.

Uh -huh.

And? You must kill him.

There's nobody else to do it.

You can have Brack's part.

Only look out for Morton.

He sold you out once already.

Maybe I will help you, but right now, get out of here.

Hearts and the three of spades.

Not bad, Clay, not bad.

That's nice.

I see a lot of money near you. Almost within reach.

Stop talking like an idiot and get on with it.

Queen of hearts.

Who's an idiot?

I can read the cards and the cards predict the future.

You know what I want the cards to tell me.

Don't be greedy.

Well, let's see what we find now.

Ah, the five of clubs.

It might be hidden inside a trunk, or maybe inside a barrel.

All right, go on.

If that's not enough to open your

mouth, I can open it with a bullet.

You better start talking straight now, or I'll find a way to make you talk

without a mouth.

There are plenty of ways, sure.

It depends on how you shoot him. You could shoot out his brains and still

his mouth.

I'm useful to you, Clayton.

You wouldn't kill me. Now, who wouldn't?

Here.

Now, go on.

Jack of clubs.

The ace of diamonds.

What's it say?

It says you ought to try and shake up Eddie a little.

Eddie? Yes, maybe he'll start ringing.

Like the silver bells in Lucifer.

Finish your story.

That'll be another gold dollar.

I might tell you the name of the Mexicano, the one who outdrew your two

the saloon.

That's all you're getting. So talk. Just let me have the right card.

Ace of spades.

Queen of spades.

Pecos Martinez.

He's going to kill you.

The last of the Martinez.

That's right.

The cards.

Never lie to me

That's what they get

between the eyes when I get them face to face

Well, well not bad as banks go

Yes You

almost scared me to death I didn't want to scare you

I only want to kill you

You

mean that as a joke I never joke.

No.

No, you're not the type who would kill an unarmed man.

You are not a man.

You're a snake.

No. Listen. Listen, Pecos. I'll do anything you want me to. I'll do

you. I don't want to die. Please, look. I'm holding a Bible. You can't kill me.

You saw it. I have lots of money.

Over $30 ,000. We split it. But don't kill me. Please take it.

I spit on your money.

I'll give you one more day to get out of Houston. I don't want anybody to see

you ever again.

Or even smell you.

And I won't ask you whether you sold me the plane or not.

Now go, before I change my mind.

Don't move, you two. What do you want?

You know perfectly well, you old quack. And this time I won't let you out with

just a few broken fingers.

Your daughter, huh?

She's not bad.

Much too pretty for the old man to be her real father.

Nothing much around here. Nothing here either. No sign of the barrel.

Get out.

You get out of my house.

I don't know what you're looking for and I don't want to know. Go on. Go to

hell, both of you.

Take the gentleman into the next room.

I want to know just two things.

And you're going to give me the answers.

Then you can go back there and take care of your father.

And no one will bother you again.

Where's the barrel that Eddie handed over to your father?

And where are you hiding that Pecos Martinez?

You see, I know a lot.

So there's no point in being difficult.

Eddie came and fetched the barrel again.

You're lying.

If you want to keep friends, you must tell us the truth.

If you know what's good for you, you'd better tell me everything you know.

I can make you talk, Angel.

I'm sure that you wouldn't find it any fun.

Sadly Yeah, Steve gets pleasure out of seeing folks suffer Especially girls,

but you don't have to worry if you talk right away

That's

even that was nothing yet That

was just a small sample

mean business.

What do you think, Steve?

I think it's a good idea.

I got a good plan for you.

I'm going to take off all your clothes and make you walk around the house

Yeah, Steve.

Good idea.

You'll serve on us and you'll cook for us with nothing on.

Nothing at all, except your hair ribbon.

How about that, huh?

Would you like that?

We always needed a woman looking after us. We couldn't find a better one than

Dr. Burton's daughter.

Papa,

no!

He was reaching for my gun.

You can save your tears for later.

Right now we don't have any time for crying.

Where is that money hidden and where are you hiding that Mexicano?

Morton told me everything.

I know who he is.

Wait, will you?

How is she going to speak?

If you don't talk up, you know what we'll do to you.

Where's that money?

Where's the Mexicano?

If you tell me, all your troubles will be over.

I promise you. No.

No. I don't know where Pecos is.

I just know he'll get even with you, you murderers.

Put her out again.

Look, there he is.

There he is, that Mexican bastard.

I give him a good welcome. Shall I finish off the girl, Clay? Stupid idiot.

Get rid of the Mexicano. The rest will be easy.

Are you afraid, Clay?

No.

But I've got some unfinished business.

First we find out where the money's hidden.

Then Pecos will die.

The hard way.

You knew him.

He must be a very old friend of yours.

It's an old story.

Three years old.

He's been following me like some kind of spook.

Only this time he's not going to get away.

Bat, cover the window.

Bat, cover me too.

I'm going for some fresh air.

Use her as a shield.

May I have this dance?

What is it?

I want that money and I want it fast.

Then we'll get on our horses and get out of here.

If you don't hurry, we're going to shoot the girl.

You have one minute to think it over.

I have already thought about it.

Stay right where you are.

He's preparing some kind of trick.

When we have the money, kill him.

Bring that barrel over here.

The money's all there. Go ahead. Count it.

$80 ,000 that Brax stole from you and Eddie stole from him.

Take it plain and vamos

It's all here clean and

plain How are you going to spend it plain you'll never get rid of that

scar around your neck The money's no good to you. You're a marked man The

left a furrow so deep That half the work is done for next time

Did you hear me, Clyde?

That rope left a furrow in you that is so deep that half the work is done for

the next time.

Take a good look, El Pecos.

They put a red mark there.

Only they couldn't hang me, not Joe Clyde.

Killer of women and babies.

Yeah, that's right.

Because I killed off a lousy family of Mexicans, and their name was Martinez.

That was your family, Pecos.

And today I'm going to kill off the last one.

Let me go.

I have waited a long time for this moment.
