'Watch Your Back Spirito Santo!'

- We'll rest here for a while. - Okay, Colonel.

Take care of the horses.

I'm tired, and I'm getting too old for this.

You're telling me, my butt hurts!

Don't worry, you'll rest at Fort Phoenix...

For me it's different, there's no time to rest when you're a Colonel.

All the gold in the state is in that fort, it's quite a responsibility.

Indeed, colonel, but let's get a few hours rest...

We'll be there before nightfall.

Let me tell you, it's the first time I've had such an important task.

- I need everyone's full cooperation. - Of course.

I had to enlist in the army to learn how to make coffee.

I needed that! You've earned yourself a few hours rest.

Hey, Bill, look at these horses...

Aren't they the ones they stole from us last week?

We may not have branded them, but we still recognise them.

But sure, Mike, I have a good eye for these things...

I could recognise your wife in a group of a hundred virgins.

What the hell are you talking about? They're my horses...

They were born and raised in our stables.

- Leave us alone. - He's a cocky one, isn't he?

- We'll soon change that. - You're a no good horse thief!

- You won't get away with this. - Go away!

Give us a pile of cash, old man, and we'll leave you alone.

Your offer is too kind for a dirty horse thief like him...

Sure, Mike, if he accepts it's the deal of his life, but if he doesn't...

We'll teach him a little lesson!

What are you waiting for? Are you going to pay us or not?

- My father isn't a horse thief. - Stay out of this!

Get out of here, bitch!

Leave my husband alone or I'll kill you like dogs!

- Put it down, damned Indian! - Drop that rifle!

I said get out of here! Go, or I'll shoot...

Where did he hit you?

- How are you? - I'm okay, it's just a scratch.

- You'll have to remove the bullet. - Thank you...

Thank God you arrived when you did.

Thanks again. They hate me because I married an Indian...

There are a lot of rogues around here.

- Take her inside. - Yes, of course.

And don't worry. Fetch some hot water, Suomi.

'Suomi' means sweet awakening in your language.

- How do you know my language? - I lived amongst your people.

- Your name? - Holy Ghost.

- There it is, that's the army wagon. - Let's get closer.

Did they hurt you? I was so scared when they hit you.

What are you talking about?

Damn it, soldiers.

- Don't worry, mother. - Need a hand?

No, thanks, it's an old score I have to settle alone...

Things might get a little hot around here.

- Go back inside. - Yes.

This man is accused of serious crimes against the Union...

You didn't get very far, lieutenant.

We'll take you to the fort, the colonel will be glad to meet you.

I'll be glad to meet him, too. I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about.

Put a sock in it or I'll make you wish you were never born!

I wouldn't continue, if I were you. You might regret it.

Get him, and take his gun.

Stop, sergeant, or I'll fill you with lead.

You don't want to mess with us.

Holy Ghost is coming with me, and don't think you can stop me!

I need him because he's friends of a big shot...

And if you don't like it, well I'm that big shot!

No, this man is my prisoner. This is army business, stay out of it.

I have to take him to Fort Phoenix where he'll stand trial for crimes against the Union...

- He'll be tried by a military court. - No, your grandma can try him for now...

- Is that understood, you fool? - I think he's got it!

I'm a little nervous today and I only killed two people...

You're lucky, fool, because when I'm on form I usually kill three...

And you should've been the third!

Not very kind, but very clear.

Pay close attention, sergeant, fear can make you crap your pants!

It's a shame he doesn't have a change of clothes!

Sorry if I'm frightening you!

You have every reason to be nervous. Well, have you decided?

Choose your words carefully if you don't want to end up a dead man!

Okay, he's all yours. But we'll meet again Holy Ghost...

- Sooner than you think. - Are you threatening him?

- You too, Redbeard! - Diego di Asburgo, if you don't mind...

His Royal Highness, Diego di Asburgo...

And wash your mouth out before you say my name!

Anyway, the show's over. Clear off!

No, on foot, you don't need the horses and the walk will do you good.

Hold on, Sergeant...

- A little souvenir from Bogey! - Get down, fool!

Come on, Garibaldi, let's make these gentleman run a little.

Now it's our turn, Holy Ghost...

As I was saying, I'm a descendant of Massimiliano di Asburgo...

Okay, so he was an asshole!

And these are my boys, they're like family to me...

Let me introduce them...

This one here, with the red shirt, is Garibaldi.

Actually, Garibaldino. I fought with Garibaldi...

But I had to leave Sicily because of an honour killing.

That soul over there is the Irishman.

Greetings, friend, I'm a bit of a strange bandit, with a hunchback...

- And a few hang-ups. - What do your friends call you?

- They call me bogey! - And then there's the Priest.

A former pastor, if you don't mind!

And that's the last descendant of Morgan the Pirate.

I'll be dead soon and I'll repeat the actions of my great ancestor!

The best sons of bitches in the west!

Now let's talk business, the gold in that wagon is mine...

But I'm generous, you got here before us and you have a right to half of it.

I appreciate your generosity but there's no need, take what you want.

I could have killed you but I'm a man of honour.

And here's the army gold. Take it...

You can have it all, it's fake.

That damned informant is going to pay for this!

Come and see us, we'll talk business!

Hands up, you sons of bitches!

It's small change! I'll take that!

- You have to pay your taxes as well! - What do you want? Where are you going?

- Where's the manager? In his office? - He's not here, he's gone out!

- I don't believe you. - But sir!

- Out of my way! - Start counting the money.

May we come in, Manager? It's Diego di Asburgo...

The future king of Mexico!

You stay here on guard, Priest.

And you...

Don't move!

- it's a pleasure! - I can't say I agree...

Recognise this?

You'd better sit down, you might faint.

How dare you play a stunt like that on me?

Fake! It's a vulgar imitation!

You wanted to trick me! And what's more...

There was someone else there...

Holy Ghost. Do you know him?

Holy Ghost? I've never heard of him, I swear!

- You hear that? - We're all ears!

You seem like a dove when you talk like that...

But I know you, and you're worse than a vulture!

Where's the real gold? Which son of a bitch switched it?

You'd better tell me what you know before I start getting angry!

- I don't know! - Where's the gold?

- Diego! - No...

My name's Diego di Asburgo, don't you forget that.

Show me some respect.

I need that gold to get back on the throne and you'll be my banker.

- Your Majesty! - That's better, continue.

- I didn't know someone had switched it. - Who else knew about it?

It should've gone smoothly.

It must have been switched in the fort.

Damn it, someone's double crossed us!

I'm sure of it! But I'll find out who it is...

And I'll let you know, I'll give you precise information.

You'd better, friend. It's your only chance...

Otherwise you'll get your share in lead. I'll give you one more chance...

- When does the next wagon leave? - The next wagon?

- Has your clock stopped? - It leaves next Wednesday...

At the same time. They'll take the same route.

You'd better make sure it does or it will be trouble for you...

You'll be God's banker instead of mine...

And you can tell Him all about me!

Thomas!

Mummy, hurry! Uncle's here!

Finally! It's been more than a year! Where have you been?

Out for a walk, around the world.

Welcome back, Albert.

Hello, Margaret.

It's been so long.

- And my brother? - Sitting on a chair, as always...

- He has to walk on crutches. - What do the doctors say?

They say he'll get better. But let's go inside now...

He'll be glad to see you. It doesn't happen often!

- You're in good shape. - And you haven't changed at all.

If only! But time moves on, unfortunately.

I always dreamed of having a house like this.

- Where's my brother hiding? - Wait, uncle.

- I'll call daddy. - Shall I help?

No, you'd better not, he won't like it.

Listen, Margaret...

I never asked you before, but why did you marry him?

Tony, my brother?

I waited so long for you, then I received a telegram saying you were dead...

That's when your brother started courting me...

He asked me to marry him. I love him, but not like I loved you.

My life would have been very different with you...

I only wander around so I can stop thinking of you.

We're coming!

What a pleasant surprise!

- It's been quite a while! - You're looking good, how's the leg?

Not bad, but look at you!

Let's sit down, Margaret will prepare breakfast, right, dear?

Sit in my place, uncle.

Will you teach me how to ride?

- You bet! - Sure he will.

I'll make a good soldier of you, just like your father was.

Let's not talk about the army. The day that damned bullet hit my leg...

Who knows what would've happened if Margaret wasn't around.

- Pass me a plate to turn the omelette. - That used to be my speciality!

- You're fantastic! - Sit down.

Yes, daddy.

- I hope you like it. - Thanks.

- Just one? - This is real home cooking!

Give over! It's just an omelette.

No, Margaret, it's your best dish...

She adds some milk, mint, ginger...

And something else she'd never reveal...

You won't find another cook like her. I'm almost jealous!

- Then why won't she eat it? - You know I can't when I'm excited.

I know well, and you know too, Albert...

You met her before me, Margaret is a very emotive woman.

But let's discuss something more important, when are you going to settle here?

I bought a piece of land for you as well, it's next to ours.

Sure, soon... As soon as I've finished a little job.

- Are you happy, Thomas? - Sure!

- Eat, it's getting cold. - Then you'll stay with us?

- I promise. - It's your home as well.

I couldn't agree more with Margaret! Thank you!

Hey, guard, the Sergeant's coming, open that door.

- What happened to the wagon? - There was nothing we could do.

- Why? - We came under attack from everyone...

First, Holy Ghost, then, when we had him, a strange bandit intervened...

He called himself Diego di Asburgo, and he had fifty men with him...

- There was nothing we could do. - You damned fool!

I want that gold, no matter what! Is that understood?

How dare you drink in the presence of a Colonel!

Colonel? Gold? That isn't gold, it's all fake...

- You know where the real gold is. - Be quiet!

It's precisely because it's fake that it has to disappear...

You're too stupid to understand these things...

If they open an enquiry, they'll realise it was substituted here in the fort...

- And we'll find ourselves... - In the shit!

And they'll find out that you killed the real colonel of this fort.

You were my accomplice, we'll both face the firing squad!

It's better than the gallows, I have a delicate neck.

You dumb bastard, I was a fool to trust you.

- What would you have done without me? - Enough! Get out!

- How dare you talk to me like that! - You make me laugh...

Are you forgetting what we went through together?

Clown!

Don't be a fool. You'll get your share...

But we must keep up appearances, especially in front of the others...

They might get suspicious. Go on.

Tom.

You see that man? It's Holy Ghost...

Tell him the bank manager wants to talk to him.

I'll wait for him in my office.

Tell him to come immediately, and be discrete.

I have a message for you...

I could eat you! I'll make you the Queen of Mexico!

Hey, guys, look who's here. Our friend, Holy Ghost...

And the man standing next to him is that idiot from the bank...

I know they're up to something, but this time I won't be so easily fooled.

- He has a business proposal. - What kind of business?

I don't know, he'll you tell you himself.

- Shall we teach him a lesson? - Yes!

- What shall I tell him? - I'll come.

- It's on me. - Thanks.

I'm going upstairs for a while, you take care of him.

I'm glad you came, we can earn some big money together.

- Real? - Sure it's real...

- They won't fool us this time. - Okay.

I'm going upstairs for a while, my boys are waiting for you...

They'll keep you company. I'll be back soon, you're my guest.

I like your friend!

I want to make you Queen and you want to cheat on me!

- Is he coming over here? - Our little fish is taking the bait.

- 500, to see my cards. - Look who's here!

Holy Ghost!

- Can't you see him? - Where is he?

- He's right there! - What are you talking about?

It's Holy Ghost, in the flesh!

- Do you see anything? - Idiot! The Holy Ghost is invisible.

- You can't see it. - Must be a mirage, check it out.

Sure!

- For you, Hallelujah. - No, Holy Ghost!

Come on, get up! I sure showed him!

You have to get rid of Diego, now that he knows about the next gold delivery...

We have to get there before him, and steal it from under his nose.

- We can't let him take it! - What's in it for me?

This for now, and you'll get more later.

It will do for now.

But will the gold be real or fake this time?

- I really hope it's real! - That's okay then.

But why do you want me to get there before Diego?

You'd better be honest with me, it's the only way you'll persuade me.

Yes, I'll tell you...

- I'll tell you the truth. - That's better.

I'm not like Diego.

The gold might be fake this time as well...

And if Diego gets hold of it, he'll come after me...

He'll send me to my Creator, but if you get it, he won't look for me.

- Who's switching the ingots? - I don't know...

But I have a feeling it's the colonel in charge of the military base at Fort Phoenix.

That's what I suspect as well.

I'll try to investigate.

- I'll let you know. - Okay.

It's for Fort Knox, you must personally deliver it to the captain.

Good luck.

I don't think they're coming.

Take cover!

Damn it, that's dynamite! This stinks of Holy Ghost!

I should've killed him when I had the chance!

I know what I'd do, back home we'd use a shotgun to deal with him!

- He's no Holy Ghost, he's the Devil! - If I catch him, I'll strangle him!

We'll hang him, then we'll feed him to the fish.

- To the horses, quick! - Come on, men!

- We might still be in time. - Attack!

Lower your rifles, sergeant...

I don't want to hurt you.

I should warn you that there's more dynamite underneath you...

That me and my rifle have in our sights. Throw down your rifles...

And keep your hands up if you don't want to be blown to pieces.

Stop!

Throw down your rifles.

You finally got it.

Now get down from your horses. I don't have time to waste.

Sergeant, get some rope and tie up your soldiers.

Hurry up!

- Are you really going to do it? - I don't have any choice, you idiot!

Hold this.

But we can't move like this, we'll die of thirst!

Silence!

Good, you've got the right idea.

Don't act so surprised, you knew this could happen.

Pass me the end of the rope.

You'll have some time to think about your sins.

Cheer up!

And don't move too much, or you'll get sea sick.

I'm counting on you, sergeant...

And send my regards to the colonel when you get to the fort...

Tell him I'm most grateful.

You'll pay for this!

Who did this to you? How many of them were there?

Fifty, a hundred... I don't know! I wasn't counting!

- Spit it out! - Tell him there was only one of them!

No, there were two, one of them was Holy and the other one was Ghost...

But I'll kill him!

What a cabaret!

Fake!

That's right.

- It's fake this time as well. - I thought it would be.

If Diego had taken it, he would've killed me, the animal!

Well?

Have you found out who's switching the gold ingots?

Here's the rest.

I'm sure of it now, the colonel must be behind it.

It's possible, but how do we unmask him?

We need to catch him in the act...

And I'll try.

- Priest, go and knock. - Okay.

Who could it be?

Who is it? Who is it at this hour?

It's me, your friend, Diego di Asburgo, open up!

Come on, hurry up, we have something important to discuss.

It's too late, besides, I'm busy, come back tomorrow.

Don't be a fool, banker...

Get down here and open this damned door!

Tomorrow! I'm tired, I'm going to sleep.

You'd better open up or I'll send you to sleep forever.

Okay, hold on, let me put my coat on.

- Is there another way out? - Sure, through the courtyard.

What are you going to do? Run?

It's pointless... It's all pointless...

He'd find me, and he'd kill me...

- You go, don't let them see you. - You sure you're not coming?

No, it would be worse, I'll try to buy some time...

But you go, hurry.

The wagon with the fake gold is in the old village, in Cook's old place.

- Good luck. - Thanks, I'll need it!

Why is he taking so long? Follow me!

Damned banker, open up!

He crapped his pants, now he's cleaning himself!

Diego!

Sit down, if you like.

A Spanish candelabra, nice isn't it?

Being an informant pays well. You have a real nice house!

It's not true, It's a modest house! I'll prepare a drink.

- Something strong for me. - What about me?

Give me a smoke!

And me?

No more games, banker, you warned Holy Ghost about the wagon...

- He was talking to your man at the saloon. - No, never!

How can you think such a thing? After everything we've done together.

That's precisely why I don't trust you!

I warned you. No one else could've told him...

But this time you messed up, you shouldn't have betrayed me!

You'd better start telling me the truth...

- Talk! - You'd better tell us.

Why do you torment me? I've always been your friend.

Because of my Imperial blood I'll offer you a chance to save yourself.

- You're too kind, thank you! - You'd better find Holy Ghost and my gold!

- I'll do as you as say! - You have twelve hours...

Mess up this time and I'll send you to the Creator, I'm sure he's waiting for you!

- I don't doubt it! - Okay, boys...

Until he tells us what we want to know, we'll be his guests, right?

- Sure, whatever you need! - Do you have food?

Yes, I have something. Sit down, I'll bring it to you.

Let's eat!

- Fresh fruit. - Give it to your sister!

We want something substantial. Right, your Majesty?

I'm a friend of Holy Ghost. Do you know where I can find him?

I haven't seen him for a while. Is it an urgent matter?

- Do you want to leave a message? - Tell him Jim Charlie is looking for him.

- Anything else? - No, thanks, that's all, he'll understand.

Majesty, it stinks of shit in here.

It's six o'clock and the banker isn't here. We're wasting our time...

He's run off.

Garibaldi is following him, he won't get away.

You can shake a di Asburgo...

But it takes a hundred bankers to shake a Sicilian!

It's fake, it's fake!

Time for a little nap, banker!

Garibaldi's back.

- How did it go? - I found everything: the wagon, the gold...

- And a dirty rat! - Who's that?

The banker!

Now it's time to show that banker what Diego di Asburgo is capable of!

- Talk, you bastard! Talk! - You switched the gold.

No, it's not true!

I'm asking the questions now. Where have you hidden the real gold?

- It's the colonel who's behind it. - Then why did you come here?

Nothing! He came here to screw the horses!

- I told you he was here. - Are you going to tell me where it is?

Holy Ghost said it was here! Yes, he stole the gold!

I don't believe him!

- I'm telling you the truth! - So, you know Holy Ghost?

- That isn't what you said yesterday! - He's a liar!

You dirty rat!

I'm sorry, but I'm taking these! They might hurt you!

- I wouldn't have told him anything! - Then who told him?

He forced me at gunpoint! You have to believe me...

- He would've killed me! - Yes, and he should have!

But I don't mind, because I'm going to kill you!

What hell are you playing at?

Who's going to give us the information now?

We'll send him to Corleone, my grandfather is an undertaker!

What a surprise! John Mills!

- You were careless. - That's how I am.

The uniform suits you. It makes you look respectable.

Life is a great tutor, it's a shame you haven't learnt anything.

I wouldn't be so confident if I were you...

You won't get away with this.

It's a shame about that gold, you'll never get to use it.

What are you getting at? Explain yourself.

Something life hasn't taught you: to see things clearly...

I thought you were smarter. It wasn't a bad plan...

But using an underground passage to sneak it out of the fort, wasn't that a bit excessive?

- As you can see, I've unmasked you. - My plan will work, I'm sure of it.

No, I don't think so, you won't be stealing any more gold from the state.

Well, for the moment, I have a regiment prepared to defend me...

And I believe that will be more then enough, don't you think?

Yes, it's true, you're quite right...

- But you won't need a regiment against me. - There's nothing you can do...

You're my prisoner and I'll deal with you, once and for all.

Pity, I still don't know where you're hiding the gold, but I'll find out.

- It's urgent, Colonel. - You can go.

What's going on?

Untie your belt.

This man attacked me! Lock him up!

He has to disappear tonight, otherwise we're ruined.

- Understood? - Yes, I'll take care of it.

- I want him dead! - I'll make it clean.

- What do you want? - The army gold, Colonel!

Holy Ghost stole it!

That's the dumbest thing I've heard all day!

It was him!

- What's going on? -The prisoner has escaped...

And Sergeant William Barrett has been killed.

Damn it! Find him!

The wolf is finally in his lair! Pray to your God!

- I'll leave that to you, Holy Ghost! - That bell is ringing for you.

Who's there?

Put that rifle away, Margaret.

I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour but I had no other choice.

- You frightened me. - I need to hide this cart here for a few days.

- I'll explain later, it's a delicate matter. - What's going on?

- I can't explain now, it's part of my job. - You're not making excuses?

I hope not, I didn't have any other choice.

- It's cold here, let's go inside. - Okay.

- You'll want to rest. - Yes, thanks.

Thomas, come and have a look at this! Look at the size of this one!

- Do you like it? - Look, mummy, he caught a trout!

Great!

- You really made us run! - We knew you'd be around here.

- To what do I owe the honour? - Diego wants to talk to you.

- I'm not interested in what he has to say. - But he is interested.

- You don't want to upset him. - Why doesn't he come here?

Because he entrusted Garibaldino and Bogey...

To come here and find you. Orders are orders.

Come with us and keep your trap shut.

Move it!

A gift from Bogey!

We'll walk from here.

I brought you some roast turkey.

I'm starving!

Hey, I'm hungry, too! I want to eat you!

Don't worry, it's your turn next.

This is our home, Holy Ghost. Friends, we have a noted guest.

- We found him, your Majesty. - Have a seat, friend, eat with me.

There's no need to be polite. Garibaldi, help our friend sit down.

Want some?

It's good!

You shouldn't have done that, turning down the hospitality of an honest friend like me.

Everyone out! I want to be alone!

I said get out, or I'll kick you all out!

You as well!

Now let's talk man to man.

As you can see, I've been kind to you...

And I want to continue to be. Where's the gold?

- It's pointless, you're wasting your time. - You clearly don't know my methods...

- Garibaldi! - Your Majesty!

I want to have some fun. Take care of this gentleman...

He doesn't want to tell me where he's hidden our gold.

He doesn't want to talk. He's gone quiet!

But he'll talk, he'll talk...

I haven't forgotten what you did in the saloon!

That's enough. Can't you see he wants to talk?

You want to confess, don't you?

It's in the abandoned village...

- In the old bank. - That's better...

I don't like treating my friends like this but you leave me no choice.

Want some?

If you're lying, I'll kill you, and very slowly, so I can enjoy watching you die.

Holy Ghost told me where the gold is, we'll get it tomorrow...

I'm going upstairs for a while, you take care of Holy Ghost.

- It will be a pleasure! - Any objections?

- My Queen is waiting for me. - She's a whore!

- He's a sensitive one! - Eat it!

Drink with us!

- Where have you been? - I have to talk to you...

The white man with the blue uniform, he was kidnapped by two bandits...

And they took him to the old mill.

- The one who saved us? - Yes, him.

He risked his life for us. We must hurry!

Yes, father, those bandits will kill him!

The horses are behind the hedge.

- Sorry, I was forgetting to thank you. - Don't thank me, thank Suomi.

- I owe you my life. - I was worried about you.

- Will you come back with us? - I can't...

- I'm sorry but I have to go to the fort. - Well goodbye then!

I'll wait for you, Holy Ghost.

Come on, Suomi.

We need to be careful.

It's a trap!

Take cover, it's an ambush!

Well, now you know everything, you don't need to worry.

We were worried about you.

Well I'm still alive and that's what counts. I have to go now...

But I'll be back soon, and I'll settle down here.

- Are you really coming back? - I promise, Thomas.

I'll show you out.

Take care of yourself.

Goodbye.

I'm sure you'll be back.

- The Captain. - Yes, sir.

A letter for you.

"The man in front of you is lieutenant Albert Donovan, alias Holy Ghost..."

"He is authorised by this command to act as best he sees fit..."

"To find out who's stealing the army gold."

- I've recovered all the gold. - Secure that cart.

I'll personally escort it to Fort Knox.

- Go inside, you'll want to rest. - Thanks, but I'm expected elsewhere.

Are you still there, Suomi?

You've been looking at yourself in the mirror all day!

What's got into you? What are you up to?

Be careful, my child, I don't want to see you in tears...

A dress isn't enough to make you a white woman.

Don't talk like that, you married a white man as well.

That was different, he was an officer in the army...

And you're a half-breed...

But if you really love him, then anything can happen...

- But don't fool yourself. - Perhaps I am, but I'm sure he'll come back.

I saw the love in his eyes, and I can't stop dreaming about him.

Well I'm sorry to interrupt this intimate confession...

But I'm also sure Holy Ghost will come...

It's true, Diego di Asburgo never gets it wrong...

He'll come, I'm sure he will.

- Holy Ghost won't come here. - What do you want from him?

I have an old score to settle with him, that's all.

You're wrong, Holy Ghost will never come here...

- My daughter is fooling herself. - A woman in love has a sixth sense...

He'll come, and it will be the last time you see him...

Because I'll kill him like a dog, here, in front of you!

That's him.

Yes, it's him... Now let's start the party!

Don't move...

Or it will be trouble for you as well.

- Suomi... - Look who's here!

You thought you got rid of me, but here I am!

You certainly know how to surprise someone...

But you chose the wrong place to settle our score.

You sold me out to the army, and killed my men...

And I'm going to kill you for that. Diego di Asburgo doesn't forgive.

I'm going to kill you just like you killed my men...

They were all better than you, and you killed them.

Say your prayers, murderer!

- Calm down, Diego. - No, nothing can calm me anymore...

Only your death!

You saved my life again.

Did you come back for me?

Come on, let's go.
