Original subtitles

Prepare!

A bullet!

Wait!

Take it off.

My bullet speeds at my head.

I want to see my name on it.

Just let it.

The blood of many brave men have been shed on that wall.

It will give you some comfort to share in their glory.

I accept that, Honor.

The Honor is mine.

Any last words?

Death is the end of pain.

The last pain.

Death is the end of pain.

That's a mighty nice gun you got there, sir.

Is that an ant... I'm not going to steal it or nothing.

I just want to see it up close.

Is this close enough?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, you get out of here, Capron.

It's been hanging around here the last couple of days, not drinking a thing.

Brandy.

There's no brandy, sir.

Whiskey.

Right.

Would you like a prayer sheet?

There you go.

Praise the Lord.

Would you like a prayer sheet?

Ask the Lord for forgiveness and he will save your soul.

Would you like a prayer sheet?

Ask the Lord for forgiveness and he will save your soul.

Don't throw that on the ground there.

Is that the people baby you got there?

Would you like a prayer sheet?

Here's a prayer sheet.

Praise God.

So, you are here for the Angela?

No.

I have other business.

Stick around.

Here in Pegatorio is big entertainment.

Open your heart to the kingdom of heaven.

There is a seat for you by his throne.

Ask God to forgive you and he will.

Would you like a prayer sheet?

I don't want to be here when it happens, honey.

How soon till they're ready?

I'll go see.

Is Pia written through here?

Pass it over here.

No, he's south of you.

Why?

I have something very valuable.

Well, the best place to track him is Tierra Negra.

He's about a day's ride from here, but he's a rough country.

Bad lads.

Old-timer like you might not want to go it alone.

Really?

The business, señor, is, uh...

It's better you travel with Hong Kong.

That stagecoach there is going in that direction.

Señor, a lot of white folks go missing these parts.

Can I ask your name in case someone come looking?

Beers.

Ambrose Beers.

And no one will come looking.

Brother, can I offer you a life in the resurrection?

My name's John Newley.

Beers.

Ambrose Beers.

I guess we'll be traveling together.

Really?

Well, who gets to fare?

Abre Inglés.

He has no tongue.

I am his voice.

He is my eyes.

You are safe with us.

I am filled with comfort.

I know you.

Madrid.

Look at me, Madrid.

Look at me!

Look at the eyes that will watch you swing from that rope.

My ears will hear the crack of your neck breaking.

My nose will smell the shit in your pants.

And my mouth will laugh as you die.

Hold him!

What are you doing here?

Go home!

I won't tell you again, Veta!

I want to see.

You dare disobey me now?

Even to my face?

Bring her!

No!

No!

She's your daughter.

Your own flesh and blood.

Any last words?

See you in hell?

That one has the devil inside.

No!

I'd rather see her dead.

Go get the horses!

Is something the matter, John?

No, Lord, I thought I left the Bibles.

But here they are.

Thank goodness.

We can't start a Bible school in Tierra Negra without Bibles.

Perhaps Mr. Beers would like one.

Oh, no.

No, thank you.

I've already read it.

You have.

My singular critique of the good book is that its covers are too far apart.

Excuse me?

I am of the opinion that the Bible is perhaps the greatest assemblage of lies

and untruths ever gathered together, with the

possible exception of the congressional record.

Are you an atheist, sir?

Yes, ma'am.

Thanks to your God, I am an atheist.

Then there is no hope for your soul on the final day.

When Gabriel blows his horn, your ears will be deaf

to the resounding tone of its glory, Mr. Beers.

Oh, no.

On the contrary, when Gabriel blows his horn, I shall be playing the tuba.

Not well enough alone, Mary.

Mr. Beers is entitled to his beliefs or lack of them.

How generous.

So why are you here, Mr. Beers?

I am an ambassador of good will.

All right.

An ambassador to who?

General Francisco Vino.

The revolutionary?

One and the same.

I am to meet him tomorrow, dear.

I am charged with the duty of transporting something of incredible value to him.

What is it?

I am afraid if I divulge that information to

you, madam, I would be forced to take your life.

I wouldn't want that on my conscience.

He is joking, honey.

He is joking.

Johnny!

Where were you, Joaquin?

I thought we...

What did Chato say?

He said... He said...

He said...

That he was the new Jefe.

What is it, Chato?

The Arroyo with the others.

Get him.

All the things they say about you, I don't believe them.

Believe them?

But you took me away.

You helped me.

I thought it would keep them from shooting at me.

But I was wrong.

Where will we go?

Say that again.

Where will we go?

What do you mean, we?

You got that way and I got this way.

No more words.

Come on.

You can hit me if you want.

Yeah, turn around.

Keep smearing it on.

Don't you have any relatives you can go to?

No.

What about your mother?

She died as I was being born.

The way my father told it.

I stole my first breath from her last one.

You can ride with me to tell anita.

I know someone there.

He can set you up with some food and work.

What kind of girl?

The kind of work girls do.

I don't think I'm that kind of girl.

Sooner or later, all girls are that kind of girl.

Entiendes.

You deserve your back, Jefe.

Well, about two hours or so.

They headed east.

Run back to town.

Find all the men you can.

Tell them I'll pay a hundred pesos to whoever brings esmeralda back to me alive.

What?

Do you speak with me?

Are you talking with me?

Huh?

No, I don't speak with you.

Do you speak with me?

Do you speak with me?

What's this?

I don't mean you no harm, all right?

Just one second of your time.

I want to be your apprentice.

Orale.

Look, gringo maricon.

My saloon doors swing only one way.

Out.

No, but you know what an apprentice is?

It's a student.

I want you to teach me.

I want to be a real outlaw.

A legend like you.

You want I should kill him for you, Jefe?

Kill her.

I shot that noose clean off and I will do the same with your chorizo.

You shut the rope?

Take me on and let me learn.

I'm gonna handle myself.

So you're proven.

My name's reese.

When do we start?

Lesson number one.

I ask the questions and you answer them, okay?

Give me your gun.

Lesson number two.

Haven't over your gun to nobody.

Lesson number three.

We don't like gringos.

I know a gringo we can hit.

Talk.

He's an old man.

He's carrying something to punch over you.

What?

I don't know.

He said it's very valuable.

He's lying.

I swear to God.

It could be guns.

It could be gold.

Where is this old gringo?

He's on the stage to tear into you.

Very good, child.

Very good.

But you feel fucked with me.

You'll be in a wooden box with some towers in your eyes.

Understand?

Good for you.

Mr.

Beers, you are sick.

Now this is a sign to stop your drinking.

They say when a man drinks, he develops certain...

What kind of powers?

Clairvoyance.

Second sight.

My wife is right, Mr. Beers.

You ought to take better care of yourself.

This is a preservative.

And I'm pickling myself for your great beyond.

What did he say exactly?

He said he was carrying something for Villa.

Something worth a whole lot.

If you lie, you die.

Understand?

Vamanos.

This little biblical expedition.

Who foots the bill?

We don't need to listen to this.

My father died recently, Mr. Beers.

He left me a large sum of money... and I decided to use it for the Lord.

Ah, so Pastor Newley here not only gained a bride... but a checkbook in the bargain.

You insinuate that I married my wife for her money.

We had scruples, Mr. Beers.

Something you must have lost if you ever had them.

Vamanos!

That shotgun!

He's blind!

Help me!

What in the Sam Hill is that?

Highwayman, no doubt.

Get out!

We're being murdered!

Hill two, most likely.

Bastard.

Joaquin, the driver!

Afuera!

Afuera, move!

Which one of you shot me?

That's him!

Ugh!

Afuera!

Find the gold.

Freeze!

Over there.

Look what you did to my friend, gringo.

My liquor?

Give it back.

That hurt, don't it?

May I assist you with something?

What's the matter with you, huh?

Hey!

We could get 50 pesos for that real silk.

My wedding dress.

The gold.

I said find the gold.

Find it!

Hey, Jefe!

There's nothing sacred!

What's in the box, señora?

They're bibles for...

I wasn't talking to you, pinche pendejo.

They are bibles for the children of Tierra Negra.

A bibliosanta.

Where's the gold?

I found something, Jefe!

Mira!

Cabrón!

He said he had two cases of gold.

No, Madrid, I said they could have been gold.

You got something very valuable for Villa.

What is it?

Shoot me.

No, please.

Go on.

Squeeze the trigger.

You can do it.

Just tell them what it is, Mr. Beers.

Let them take it.

It's not worth your life.

Listen to the noise.

It's not worth your life.

It is my life.

What?

It is me.

I'm going to be a soldier with Villa...

in the revolution.

Crazy old gringo!

What army would take you?

There he is.

Cabrón!

Let me give him what he wants.

Leave him alone.

He's an honorable man.

Vamanos.

I'd like to thank you, Mr. Beers.

With all your bravado, you nearly got us killed back there.

Don't you lay another finger on my husband!

I'm sick of the sight of him!

You have no right to speak like this!

We're alive, Mr. Beers!

We're alive!

What are you living for?

This sick, defending, sententious...

John, leave him alone!

Get off of him!

You still have something for him, even after all that?

I'm fault in the sin and not the sinner, John.

He needs help.

Bring on the grape shot.

When do the lessons start?

The lessons are all around you all the time.

Remember that.

The earth, it's opened up for you like a woman.

Was it hard to kill all those men?

No, it wasn't hard, was it, Madrid?

You see, for an outlaw, it's easy.

An outlaw is ready to kill no matter what.

Listen, tell me your technique.

You know how you've done it.

Was it sneaking up on people?

Or did you do it right into their face?

Madrid, how do you become famous and like a legend?

Is that what you want?

To be a legend?

I want to be an outlaw.

And that means famous.

People know your name and they're scared of it.

They tell their children to watch out at night because

you could come in at night and kill them in their cribs.

Men fear you, and women, they'll scream at the sight of you.

That's what I want.

Yeah?

Is that what you think I am?

Of course that's what you are.

You're a monster.

You're lying to yourself if you think you're any different.

John, is something wrong?

Wagon's stuck.

We ain't gonna make it through this sand.

We'll walk a while.

It'll be fine.

Why are we stopping?

I don't like cemeteries.

This is for the kid.

Rhys, you want to be like me?

This is what you learn.

The secret to becoming an outlaw, a legend, is fear.

You're making people scared of you?

The only way you know how to put fear into someone else is for you to feel that fear.

Feel it and face it.

Can you do that?

I can try.

Try?

I mean, yeah, I can do it.

What are you doing?

What's lesson number one?

You ask the questions.

Get up on the cross.

Oh.

Put the noose around your neck.

Oh, johnny, I don't think this is... Do you want to learn, huh?

You want to be an outlaw, a legend.

You got to be able to stare fear in the face.

Smell his breath and laugh.

If you cannot do that, then forget it.

Johnny, please.

Shut up.

That better?

What happens now?

Are you scared?

Johnny!

How about now?

Yes.

Do you feel the rope getting tighter around your neck?

Yes.

Johnny, stop it!

Hey!

No.

I'm not scared.

Do you think you must leap and fall?

Yes.

Do you feel like a horse's ass?

Because that's what you look like!

The horse's ass!

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

You see, we're not looking at you.

And you don't look like a legend.

You look like... like... Joaquin!

What she looks like.

The horse's ass!

Don't lie to me!

Johnny, that's enough!

You can't kill her.

She's a girl.

She's an outlaw.

And she'll die like an outlaw.

You're on your way now, kid.

In a little while, you'll be a legend.

Hey, Miranda!

Wait!

Come on!

She don't mean nothing to us, Jefe.

You chase after her.

You're going on to Tierra Negra.

La Tatila del Diablo.

Now what does that mean?

I believe I can translate that for you.

Welcome home, wayward pilgrims.

Inkeeper!

You speak English.

English, French, Latin, and Nahuatl.

We'd like a room for the night, sir.

And I would like some brandy.

A piece?

Drink?

Yeah, sure.

Two glasses of milk, please.

Water, then?

Tequila!

That's my cue.

I have two bottles at your finest.

Thank you.

Milk, indeed.

I think we have some... in the bag.

The kind with the bubbles?

Yeah, I know.

Anything.

Please.

Make yourselves comfortable.

Don't get busy here for a couple of hours.

Thank you.

Cheers, too.

Hey!

What's the matter?

You didn't even know that kid.

She made you angry?

She had the wrong idea about me.

Well, what's going to happen to me when I make you angry, huh?

You don't make me angry.

What if I say the wrong thing?

Sometimes I just looked at my father and he hit me.

I'm sorry.

Moi?

No.

We'd like to see your rooms, please.

I'm Gigsler.

Come.

I will show you to a room.

John Newley.

John.

And she is?

My wife, Mrs. Mary Newley.

Hello.

Hello.

The kid did this.

They will have to stop.

They cannot ride in the dark if Los Collotes is out.

And the closest Pueblo is another half a day's journey.

There's no way to stop out here.

There's one place.

She's still alive.

I'm killing.

I'm killing.

Stay with that green guy.

You have no idea what you've unleashed.

I'll have a shot of your best.

Yes, sir.

Damn lucky thing finding this place.

I saw it out there, glimmering the dust in the dark.

I thought it was one of them...

What you calling something look real, but it ain't?

A mirage.

Yes, sir, that's it.

A mirage.

But here it is.

The real thing.

That's good.

That's real good.

I think I'll have another one.

Paid for the first one.

I'll tell you something, friend.

I ain't got it down to my name.

But I do have something much better than that.

It's a brush.

Well, yeah, technically speaking, it's a brush.

But this brush is made of the finest Andalusian horsewood.

Bristles handpicked by Andalusian gypsies straight off the mane of Andalusian horses

grown in the forest of Andalusia.

Ha!

We don't need no stinking brushes.

I'll stand, peddler, to a drink.

Got you, miss.

She went in just in the brush.

That's occupied.

This will be your room.

Call me if you need anything.

Excuse me, madam.

What time can we expect supper?

We laid around here.

But don't worry.

I'll let you know when it's time.

Are you all right, dear?

Yes, I'm fine.

You need anything?

Nope.

Nothing.

John!

We've been married a week, Mary.

And I still don't know what you look like under that dress.

John, I just hope that you have better reasons for marriage than that.

You know I do.

I love you, Mary.

It's not a sin if you're married and in love.

I'm not refusing you because I think it's a sin.

It's just that...

John!

It's a bat.

It's just a bat.

Trying to find some shade from the heat.

Are you sure you're all right?

I feel sick.

I just want to go to bed.

Could you possibly get me some water?

All right, Mary.

I'll get you some water.

I'll be back.

Son of a bitch.

I'm looking for something.

No, I... I dropped something.

Maybe it's in here.

It's in here.

I hope there's

a lot of dirt down here in Mexico.

I'd make a killing selling brushes and brooms.

But, uh... Darrinago's my last hope if I don't sell ass back home for me.

Hmm.

Sweet.

Maybe I can take it up in trade.

Border system or something if you get my drift list.

I'm sorry, mister.

I ain't catch your name.

Pierce Ambrose.

Ambrose Pierce, right?

Yeah.

That don't be the hope.

You don't mind my work?

Yes, sir.

I do.

I done read, um... Let me see, um...

Okay, like the story where that soldier's up on that bridge set to be hanged.

And he, uh, escaped, falling to the river below.

And he swam and swam and swam.

Run to his house in the chest since he was about to kiss his wife.

Snapped his neck, broke it all in a dream.

It's a goddamn dream.

That one just kills me.

Excuse me.

Drink.

More sensei?

No.

Tequila.

Keep him coming.

My name's neely.

John neely?

I'm like your little friend.

Never seen this place before.

I must have ridden through here a dozen times.

Maybe we should go on to tiara negra.

It's done.

The coyotes are out.

You'll be safe in here.

You're very greedy, senorita.

Go inside.

I take your horses.

Yeah, you better do that.

Go on.

I'm gonna make sure the horses are taken care of.

We don't wanna get stuck here.

I'll be right back.

A virtue.

The scars on your back.

Your husband?

My father.

You sweet child.

His tears have never fallen.

On a mother's breast.

You're very special, ismeralda.

How do you know my name?

Hey, idiot!

Where are you?

Hey, what are you doing?

We need nothing, senor.

Get away from my horse!

Senor.

John?

Well, well.

Remember me?

Where's the girl?

Big one.

I mean a specific girl.

The one who just came in here.

Where is she?

Hey, where's the girl?

I'm talking to you.

Where is she?

Hey, what's

your policy on fighting in this establishment?

I don't care, senor.

What do you have in mind?

I'm talking about real ass, broken arms,

smashed nose, shattered jaw, that sort of thing.

I've seen worse, senor.

Hotel de tequila?

Si, como no, senor.

What do I owe you?

A shattered jaw right here!

Esmeralda, we're leaving.

I want to stay.

This is not time to fuck around.

Understand?

She said she's staying.

I'm not talking to you.

No, no, but John...

Get out of the way or I'll blow you an extra hole.

Go ahead.

Let him go or I'll fix your little bitch, cabron.

You're next, asshole!

Something wrong?

What's the matter with this place?

Your stupid friend ate my horse.

I hate to shoot him.

You mean Anno?

Esmeralda!

You know what you look like, madrid?

You look like an old horse's ass.

Esmeralda!

I'm walking out of here and I'm taking Esmeralda with me.

You've taken her far enough, madrid.

You don't know what you're getting into.

Give it back to me now and I'll let you live.

You're not going anywhere.

You stay with me.

Well, maricio, it's been a long time.

But I knew you'd come out.

The girl is beautiful.

She doesn't really look like you.

You said stay away from me.

But she looks a lot like me.

Hey, maricio!

After all these years, where have you been, mi amigo?

You're just in time for dinner.

No!

Mauricio, that wasn't very nice.

Care to death?

Mary!

I said not to die!

This isn't your business, green cloth!

Put my daughter into this house.

Everyone here has a score to settle.

And if we were anywhere else, I wouldn't give two anal expulsions

if you blew your stinking brains into a flatulated wing.

But for now, all bets are off.

Am I clear?

Am I clear?

It's her they want.

As long as we have her, we have a chance.

The bargain with my daughter is not for sale.

Did I say that?

We have to find another way out.

You better watch your back, honey man.

Watch yours.

They're gone!

Where are you going?

Where's my girl?

We must find her.

You have to taste what I have tasted.

See how they're on!

Wake the old one.

John?

Stop warning him.

John?

How could you leave me up there?

I'm your wife, John.

They hurt me.

Mary...

This is not your wife, Louis.

Shut your mouth, beers.

He's no servant of God.

He talks a good game.

But deep down, he's a sinner, child of Sodom.

Stop now.

Send her to the hell she so fervently feared when in sermon.

Now what kind of preacher would defy his God so blasphemously?

The jig is up, you cock sucker!

All this time, you've been selling yourself as a righteous believer.

No, you are as a sniveling thief.

You come with me to help the poor?

All you really wanted to do was to take my father's money.

Blasphemer!

Fucking pendejo.

You always wanted to see what was underneath this dress, didn't you?

Help me!

Help me!

Somebody help!

Somebody help!

John, how could you?

Forgive me.

She is a princess!

Was anyone else beaten back there?

No, not me.

Everybody's fine?

All right, then.

We're all safe.

Let's move on.

May God forgive and help all of us.

The air feels colder.

Night air.

This must be the way out.

Who says that word could be this way, idiot?

We will separate.

Take our chances.

You.

You take the girl, your friend, and the believer.

I'll take the hangman and the kid.

And try not to kill each other.

Don't think I've forgotten about you, Rhys.

Rhys?

Catherine Rhys.

You're wanted for murder in two states, I believe.

I see you read the papers.

I'm a journalist by train.

She sent her entire family to the great beyond.

Killed them in cold blood in Oklahoma.

Then went on to Texas, where she proffered the same gift.

To her aunt, her uncle, and five cousins.

Six.

Well, six.

Pardon me.

You killed your mother and father?

Why?

They were starving.

There was no food.

So I sent them to a better place.

What about you, aunt, and uncle, and all your cousins?

I never liked them.

What the fuck are you looking at, bendero?

Trouble.

Hey, where's your friend?

Joaquin?

Quit fucking around, Joaquin.

Joaquin!

Joaquin!

You turned me into one of those things!

What?

What are you gonna do?

Do it before I turn.

May God have mercy on your soul, compiler.

Ah!

What's going on?

Where are the others?

Dead.

Why not you?

Maybe you're one of them.

A bloodsucker.

You know about bloodsucking, wouldn't you?

What's that supposed to mean?

Give us the girl!

Why do they want me?

Who am I?

Why don't you tell her?

Tell her who her mother is.

Tell her!

Go in circles!

If you cannot succeed in killing one another, the

very least you could do is open the goddamn door!

Come.

There's somebody there I want you to meet.

This is your grandmother.

Welcome home, symptom.

Prepare the sacrifices for the amendment.

It's really quite an extraordinarily compromising position.

What are they fixing to do with us?

Lead us dry.

Hang on, your past has come back to haunt us.

I tried to do the best I could.

I raised her in my own home for 19 years.

I beat her so she would never disobey me.

I never thought she would come back to her mother.

The old woman, she predicted this.

Esmeralda would return to the Teutia del Diablo.

As long as she was kept from this place, they said she would remain a human.

Just a girl.

Coming here, she becomes something else.

You should have killed her.

I tried.

She was a child.

But she kept coming back.

We taste of your blood that may join us some time in the morning.

Hangman.

Welcome to the darkness.

Santerico Pandemonium.

Send her to her rest.

I'm here, Bubby.

I'm home, Bubby.

No.

I raised you.

Not your mother.

I raised you.

I know, Bubby.

I never wanted to punish you.

I know.

Bubby.

I love you.

Out of here.

Get away from here.

But you brought me here.

To the place I belong.

I'll save you.

What are you talking about, Esmeralda?

She is not Esmeralda.

She is Santerico!

Hey,

what are you gonna do now?

What I came here to do.

Hey!

You need company?

Not particularly, no.

But be a mite.

And it scares me to think.

That I might not have you on my chain again.

Through your weeping willow.

On your street I could see.

Your virgin velvet body hiding.

I wanted you for me.

To wash your feet this night.

I would have fed you soup.

Made of labels and cream.

I cried at your window.

And I thought I heard you scream.

Through your weeping willow.

On your street I could see.

Your virgin velvet body hiding.

I wanted you for me.

I could see.

Your virgin velvet body hiding.

I wanted you for me.

Smiling, caring.

Why are you staring?

You're not screaming.

You're not breathing.

I

wanted you for me.

I wanted you for me.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it.

That's stupid.

It just ends there?

Yeah.

That's bullshit.

Bullshit.

Yeah, bullshit.

I mean, there's no such thing as bullshit.
