"Colt. 45"

Produced by Warner Brothers.

From the entertainment capital of the world

produced for television by Warner Brothers.

'That you did for personal gain'

'inform the Mexican bandit, El Charro'

'of the whereabouts of a shipment of guns'

'consigned to your post.'

'And that El Charro did then conduct'

'a raid across the border and steal these guns'

"with your full knowledge.'

'It is therefore the judgement of this court martial'

'that you Colonel Frederick B. Duncan'

'are guilty of treason and shall be stripped of all rank'

'and confined in a military prison'

'for the remainder of your natural life.'

Father.

Father. No, don't.

You murderer.

You killed my father.

You know as well as I do that your father...

Took his own life. Is that it ?

The man who killed himself wasn't my father, Mr. Colt.

He wasn't even a man after you got through with him.

Oh, you stripped him off his position

his honor, his self respect.

After 30 years of devoted service

to the country he loved.

Colonel Duncan was convicted

by a fair and impartial court.

On your despicable lying evidence.

I was assigned to procure evidence

every word of it is true.

I'm sorry.

It's hard to believe the worst about someone we love.

But the investigation proved that your father

collaborated with El Charro.

Who is El Charro ?

You and that fair and impartial court

didn't even prove there was an El Charro.

This is your El Charro.

A bandit who can't even be described

whose... whose existence is mere speculation.

Fourteen American soldiers died in that raid.

Oh, 15 including the one you killed.

Destroyed because you accused him of selling out to a ghost.

You left my father with no more face

than what's on this poster.

There will be a face on that poster

when I get back from Mexico, Ms. Duncan.

Well, I want to see your face when I get back, Mr. Colt.

Here, get the feel of it.

Beautiful. Exciting to the touch.

Better price if you take a dozen.

So smooth. Nicely shaped.

You were on the morning stage, senor ?

- No, the later one. - Tsk-tsk-tsk.

How unfortunate you were not fellow passengers.

The journey would have been so much more pleasant.

- She is so beautiful. - Who ?

The senorita with the golden hair.

- An American ? - Si.

Your country sends to us so many beautiful things.

Getting down to business, if you'd like

to order a dozen of these.

One dozen, senor ?

Well, you can take a smaller order, and if they sell...

A smaller order ?

- A larger one ? - 500 perhaps.

Five hundred Colt .45s8 ?

You tell me they're good guns.

You must know they're good guns.

Write up the order, Mr. Colt.

I can't take an order unless I know

who they're for and get approval.

They are for my store.

And you do approve, no, senor ?

Business isn't that good.

Buenos dias, senor.

Yes.

What are you doing here ?

You get out of my room.

Why did you come to Mexico ?

Haven't you sense enough to stay away from here ?

You've got a job to do, Mr. Colt.

Why don't you do it and stop bothering me ?

'Elena.'

Maybe you're not afraid of El Charro.

Maybe you know more about him than I think you do.

That's right.

Maybe I'm here to collect an unpaid debt

that my father didn't have time to pick up.

I know what you're trying to prove.

But you're on a wild goose chase and a dangerous one.

If EI Charro knew that the daughter

of an old friend were down here...

Senorita , someone comes for you.

It is Dona Rita Del Sanchez

a great lady. You will come, senorita ?

Wait for me downstairs.

Si, senorita.

It's undoubtedly EI Charro in disguise, Mr. Colt.

I have so been looking forward to meeting you.

The hotel clerk sent word you were here.

He knew your father was our dear friend.

Yes, I've heard him speak of your family often.

Whenever Colonel Duncan came to Mexico to hunt

he visited our hacienda.

And I insist that you be our guest for a few days.

Thank you, senora , I would be delighted.

- Good. - ' Senor Colt.'

You'll sell us the guns, no ?

Five hundred guns, senor.

What is the meaning of this cowardly attack

against one man ?

The fault is Alfredo, Senor Ramon.

This man sells guns.

"'Alfredo wanted to buy guns for.."

- For who ? - For..

For El Charro.

Then it is why that Alfredo is dead.

Take this man to my hacienda.

He shall be my guest until he recovers.

'In all my travels with my father I've seen many'

'trophy rooms, but none to compare with this.'

All over the world, I've hunted the animals

never once have I matched my skill against

the greatest quarry of them all.

Oh ? And what animal do you consider

the greatest challenge ?

Human. Could be nothing like it.

If you're someone who deserved to die, of course.

El Charro.

A sportsman's dream.

'The gunning of such an adversary'

'would be difficult to match.'

Hunting a human being isn't my idea of sport, Don Ramon.

Senor Colt.

In view of your recent experience

I can understand that.

You're feeling better, senor ?

Yes, much better. Thank you.

Oh, Ms. Duncan, may I present...

Ms. Duncan and I've met.

Oh, well, Senor Colt, since guns are your profession

you might find these intriguing.

A couple of those pieces go back to the Spanish conquest.

My company might be interested in those

for our historical collection.

I am a collector.

You will understand how I treasure them.

And anyhow your job is to sell, not to buy.

Senorita Duncan, a man's books too

are a part of his personality.,

"Consider mine your own.'

'Thank you, Don Ramon.'

You're very kind.

Your father once said he had a beautiful daughter.

He was not prone to exaggeration.

Ehito, I am ready to retire.

Si, mama.

Goodnight, senorita . Senor Colt.

Goodnight, Mr. Colt.

Looking for something, Mr. Colt ?

Keep your voice down or this could be very embarrassing.

As if anything could embarrass you.

A bullet then. That man's dangerous.

Of course, he is. He saved your life.

He took you into his home...

Stop talking like a child.

Even a child would have some sense of gratitude.

For what ?

Saving me from a beating he arranged himself ?

Killing one of his own man to gain my confidence ?

No, that's ridiculous.

He could have left them kill you.

He had reason not to.

What reason ?

Five hundred of them. Guns.

What ?

Why do you think he brought me here ?

I've got a face for that Ell Charro poster

if I can get the evidence.

You think Don Ramon is El Charro ?

He was wearing a Colt .45 this afternoon

and I'll bet my life it was from a stolen shipment.

You can accept this man's hospitality

and then believe that of him ?

Do you think I have a choice ?

Take a look out that window.

Do you still think there's no El Charro ?

Senor Colt, good morning.

This rifle is the perfect weapon, senor.

Compared with it what has your little Colt .45 to offer ?

Speed in addition to accuracy.

This gun can be drawn and fired

before that coin hits the ground

if dropped from waist high.

No doubt, senor, if you know

when I'm going to drop it.

But suppose, I hold it here and talk for a while

diverting your attention..

Are you interested in my abilities

or those of my guns ?

Quien sabe, senor.

I might want to buy some guns.

"As you know your country is friendly'

toward the Juarez government

and this evil renegade El Charro

IS sworn to overthrow Juarez.

Perhaps I should deal directly with Juarez.

Let me finish, senor.

I was about to.

If I order a large number of guns

they would be for Juarez.

How many would you order ?

I'm not sure, senor.

Say, 5007

Five hundred is a great many gun, senor.

Perhaps 4997

You see, I already have one.

Now, there is one thing more, senor..

I think if the situation had been reversed

I would have won, senor.

You're sure of that ?

I am certain.

That order, is it for 500 guns ?

What would I want with 500 guns, senor ?

I was trying to divert your attention.

Are you certain you won't join us, Senor Colt ?

Thank you. No.

Your opinion, senorita.

Certain aspects of your personality

are in excellent taste, Don Ramon.

You're as discerning as you're beautiful.

Senor Colt has been reluctant to sell us guns.

Perhaps you could persuade him.

I 2

You're your father's daughter, my dear.

What are you doing here ?

Maybe you can use this to put that face on the poster.

Serial numbers match.

It's from the stolen consignment.

Can I get it back ?

He forgot to take it with him when he went upstairs.

He left it on the table by the fireplace.

You better get some rest.

We'll be getting out of here first thing in the morning.

Goodnight, Elena.

Oh, Elena..

Thank you.

Each gun has its own balance, its own feel.

I seem to have acquired a new one.

Colt's.

He apparently has mine.

They are the same ?

Except for the little matter of origin.

The other gun was from the Duncan consignment.

You must get that gun back.

I miss Gargas.

If the guns you wish to purchase

you cannot order them from a dead man.

The guns can be procured elsewhere.

But where such a challenge as Senor Colt.

They have escaped, Don Ramon.

Remi, you permitted the girl to go with him ?

Can she not be included in your sport ?

Is this my mother who speaks or a jealous old woman ?

Does El Charro desire a woman who runs off with another man ?

She has spoken her preference.

- My rifle, Martinez. - Si.

Getting out of the hacienda was too easy, I don't like it.

No guards, no alarm.

He's setting up a hunt.

Elena, go back. You'll be safe.

'He doesn't suspect you.'

Go back to what ?

He's a deadly marksman and an expert tracker.

He knows every inch of this ground.

He won't hesitate to kill you either.

I'll take my chances with you.

Chris, you're alright ?

Just my arm.

- Oh, let me see. - Shh.

He'll escape, Chris.

You're no match for him, your gun against his rifle.

He'll shoot us down like animals.

- You wait here. - Where are you going ?

What are you gonna do ?

Man's a maniac.

He fancies himself a great hunter.

A hunter wouldn't shoot a sitting duck.

Chris.

Alright, Don Ramon, shoot.

Why do you not run, Senor Colt ?

I'm through running, El Charro.

You're gonna shoot, shoot.

Coward.

Have you not even the courage

to make this a contest, senor ?

Animals run, men don't.

You consider that rifle the perfect weapon ?

'You can have your contest if you've got the courage.'

You once said if the positions were reversed..

I would win.

Well, the positions are reversed.

Shall we see ?

Senor Colt, you're indeed a worthy quarry.

Only a man such as you would have the cunning

to appeal to my vanity.

I will not relinquish my advantage completely.

Just so much.
