Thank you.

Thank you.

You know better than that, Zeb. I'm getting down tired of being stopped, the

Rio Grande.

Well, I reckon we all are.

But if I know Joe Dayline, he'll be crossing north again. Sure, but he won't

be carrying all that money.

And we've been waiting three months for him to dig it up.

Come on, boys.

Any sign of him yet real?

No.

I wonder if... You'll wonder yourself into an early grave someday.

I'll take three.

What if daylight don't show?

Pardon an awful lot of our money.

You should have thought of that three months ago, kid.

When he decided to stash it till things cooled.

But the kid ain't smart enough for that.

Out of the way!

I want no trouble here, señores. Not again.

Two monsters replaced it the last time.

Don't you two get any wrong ideas.

I just don't like being hit by a stray bullet.

Come on. Let's play.

That's right, Henry.

Keep on looking.

Maybe a Mexican knife will save me the trouble of putting a bullet in you one

day.

Come on. Deal the cards.

The food's getting cold, senorita.

Forgive me, senor.

I'll take three.

They are very bad men.

Dealer takes two.

There is good and bad in all men, senorita.

But they are the joy they light men.

I'll see your two and...

What do you do with your split, Doc?

It's Boston for me.

Oh, come off it, Doc.

What do you figure I'm doing?

Hanging up a sign, reading doctor, gunman, huh?

Kid, it's three months since any of us have been together.

Don't push me.

I'm not pushing you, Doc.

I just want to know.

Henry here says he's going to Frisco and get all the women he wants. Me?

Find a little spread somewhere where no one knows me.

But what is someone like you going to do in Boston?

I've waited for this big one.

And if I want to head home with my share, that's my business.

Well, you should have headed home before the Santa Fe job.

I told you before.

He'd have died anyway.

The bullet was too deep.

When Pete hears you, I'll hear you.

to pushing the bullet in deeper with your dirty, drunken hand.

He's daylight.

I can see him coming.

Ah, my Rosita's eyes will fall out when you see what I buy her.

The money. The money.

I do not sleep for three months waiting for this day.

Good to see you, Doc.

How's it been going? No complaints.

Oh, where's the money?

Glad you could make it. Just curiosity.

How well do you know the Casagrande country?

Where's the money?

There isn't any. I spent it buying a ranch out down here.

What?

Ridiculous! No one's doing you out of anything.

Instead of the money split, you get the same piece of the ranch.

Yeah, well, I'd like to have a little say about what happens to my money.

Right, daylight.

You say this once, so get it.

I run the show.

I make the decisions.

And I'll need all your guns if that's a gun.

When I wait for money, I want money.

My Rosita expects money.

Now make up your minds.

A piece of the ranch where you can double your money?

There's six feet of dirt right here.

As I was saying, how well do you know the Casagrande country?

Enough to know you bought plenty of trouble.

Ten percent laying loose.

Traveler comes high.

Traveler? That's Elvia Hill.

From what I hear, you're worth it.

Fifteen percent.

Twenty. And off the top.

Anything I like, it's a high price, gents.

All right.

Travelers with us.

Let's ride.

Get yourself a new one, amigo.

Sauce bar might get you killed one day.

Yeah.

Could be one of yours.

Could be one of ours.

Fabric. Ain't got no brand.

Not exactly.

We're on Don Areola's land.

Don Areola?

Yeah.

Your neighbor to the north.

Well, if we brand them, that makes them ours, don't it?

Yeah.

What is the brand?

The Casa Grande is a crown.

Well, you can't ask for better than that.

What you do here, senores?

Just passing through to the Casa Grande.

It will be better if you turn back.

You're riding ground owned by Don Areola.

Only to reach ground that's mine.

I'm the new owner of the Casa Grande.

We're not looking for trouble.

They seem to be.

Ride back and there will be no trouble.

You tell this Don Areola.

You are quick, senor.

But not too many in numbers.

Tell your Don Arreola that Joe Daylight intends to ride across this land

whenever he has to.

All right.

You just bought into a hand of real trouble.

That vaquero will be back with a lot more.

It's the story of my life.

But there's enough profit in here for all of us.

It's the first time I've known you so willing to share profit.

Well, you'll all earn it.

Believe me.

I know.

This is Rojas' territory, too.

That bandido?

Yeah. And the 200 guns with him.

Let's ride!

They're just following orders. Give them a chance.

Where do we head?

All right.

Settle for shoulders.

That's enough!

You get too much fun out of killing, Amigo.

I don't like that, traveler.

I don't like that at all.

That worries me.

And your soft spot worries me.

We've got two dead men to show for it.

Why worry?

Gives us all a bigger share.

That's right.

I never thought of that.

Does life mean that little to him?

I guess it depends on whose life you're talking about.

There's Casa Grande.

Not Boston, but it might do.

Couple of thousand head go with it.

There could be a lot more.

Land is one thing, but how to run north is gold in the bank.

I'll settle for land.

Say, this may be a lot more fun than Frisco.

You keep your nose clean.

Everyone else has had their say.

I know.

Your end may be big enough to fix up the hussy end you left behind.

Let's ride.

Wait a minute.

One more thing.

Joe Daylight is dead.

From now on, it's... Don Jose del Carinado.

Well?

It takes a lot more.

than a change of name to make a haciendado.

I'm Carlos Chavez, senores, the first vaquero in this hacienda.

I'm Don Jose del Coronado, the new owner.

Don Esteban Hasenworth.

This is Mario, in charge of the hacienda.

Mario, this is Don Jose.

What are your orders, senor?

Well, let's have a look at it.

Compañero, I thought you had been killed.

No one did me the favor, Carlos.

This is the main patio.

Let's look it over.

This way, senor.

All my life, I've never seen anything like this.

This is the dining room. Would you care to see it first?

I can stand a drink.

Either way.

By heaven, it's good.

It's better than good. I'm talking about the wine.

Will you stop thinking about that?

Look around.

See what you get when Joe Daylight buys a home. No.

When Don Jose del Coronado buys a home.

Hey.

You'll please forgive my daughter, senor. She has the curiosity of youth.

Hey, tell her to come in.

Let her alone.

Why not tell Mario we're hungry, eh? Lay off the women.

Understand?

Doc!

You stay away from the drinking.

I don't want you loco just when I need you.

I've taken enough from you.

I'm not a child.

All right, Doc.

What's it gonna be?

Aren't you forgetting something, though?

What?

With Rojo around, we need every gun.

And you remember.

Now you are Don Jose del Coronado.

Zavala, you're wonderful.

Have a drink.

How's it feel to be a hacendado?

You should know.

Should I?

Nobody rides with me unless I know.

I know all about you, well...

I don't even know your father's name.

Better fill your belly. We've got a lot of hard riding to do today.

Just that coffee, por favor.

Don't take all day.

I want to run a check on the cattle.

Senor Durano has a problem, Master.

Why tell me about it?

She's yours now, you know.

So are all people at Casa Grande.

Their problems are your problems, my ostentado.

Well, bring her over.

What's your problem?

Don Cusi.

My daughter is not obedient.

She refuses to marry Raphael.

That's Raphael's problem, whoever he is.

He's one of your vaqueros, Don Jose.

Don Steban has approved the marriage.

Tell Raphael he can beat her with a stick... about the size

of his little finger.

Oh, Rafael tried to do this.

It was many weeks before his cuts were healed.

Your daughter did the cutting?

Where is this hellcat?

Kitana!

What have you got to say to yourself?

Nobody beats me.

I can believe that.

Have you reached a decision?

No time for this sort of thing. Not this morning.

You take care of it.

It's not permitted.

It's permitted if I say it!

Now let's get out of here.

I want to make a quick tally of the cattle.

I'm more interested in cows than I am...

The hacienda Don Ventura is beyond those hills.

His ground borders Casagrande to the west.

Over there?

That. Don Arreola holds the country to the north. Exactly where his ground

begins has never been established.

And over there?

That of Don Castelar del Verdugo lies southeast.

He's our closest neighbor.

How many head of cattle do they run?

Oh, maybe 10, 15,000 altogether.

How many men we have work in this ranch?

Thirty-four, if I care, you know. We got ourselves a payroll, all right.

They got a nice little bank in Santa Fe.

It's only about a hundred miles away.

And that's not far enough.

Or have you forgotten the reception they gave us the last time?

Huh, Doc?

You can't keep carrying a dead man around with you, kid.

So the only man you trusted is gone.

I'm getting sick of telling you, forget it.

Even the vultures don't eat their own kind.

Don't you press me, traveler.

Then stop pushing.

I have a stake in Casa Grande.

And it'll take all of us if it's going to be worth anything.

Maybe we ought to call you Feastmaker, eh, boys?

I have been called that, too.

Someday I want to be around when you run out of words.

You probably will be.

On the day we don't need each other anymore.

I still want to know how we meet the payroll.

No one gets paid to work for the patron, Doc. Si.

A house, food, a place to raise our families.

What more could a man want?

Well, the price is right.

Let's rock.

It must be something to always have a taproot.

You know what? For once, you're right, kid.

Because rooting around here don't look so bad.

That's it.

The home of your neighbor, Don Castelar del Verdugo.

Dona Maria de Castelar, the daughter of Don Castelar.

Don Luis,

those are the gringos that crossed our land.

I informed my father.

Get your men.

All right.

Right out. We've got company.

A good day to you, Don Castellar.

This is Don Jose del Coronado, the new owner of Casa Grande.

Right out, gringos.

Before I forget, I'm a guest here.

When we're ready, Hidalgo.

I suggest you do as my father says, if you want to stay alive.

I suggest if you want to talk like a man, sonny, you better wear a gun like

one.

Luis, you forget yourself.

Those who come to a hacienda as guests must be treated as guests.

I'm Doña Maria de Castelarsimo.

And you will please forgive me for a lack of manners.

It's my pleasure, Doña Maria.

I am Don Jose del Coronado, of Casa Grande.

And this is Henry.

Doc.

Kid.

This is Traveler.

Well, shall we all get out of the sun, senores?

This way, senores.

Find out what you can about these men.

Which one, senorita?

All of them, of course.

Don Luis may not like this.

If you please pass a seat, I will pick my husband in my own time.

You know, for my guest, Pedro...

You must forgive my son and myself, but there's a long ride back to the

hacienda.

You don't have to leave because of us.

The meeting with your vaqueros was unfortunate, senor.

But a man must defend himself, and be fired not to kill.

Two of our men died.

An accident, but we suffered the same losses.

Arreola, enough blood has been spilled already.

And with Rojo's increased activity, we may need each other.

That's why we rode in.

Well, the one that calls himself Don Jose del Coronado, last week he was Joe

Daylight, a thief from the border.

And the dark one?

No name.

Men call him El Viajero, the traveler.

Carlos would say no more.

El Viajero.

I have heard many different stories about him.

He was alone in the garden a few minutes ago.

The song is beautiful.

If one can call Etienne's lament beautiful, Doña Maria.

You put things so strangely, Villanueva.

I have often wondered what the Hidalgo looked like... who left his home because

he believed in equality.

Fables have wings, Senorita.

Perhaps.

But the death of his family in the pillage of the hacienda is no fable.

Why burden me with this conversation?

Because I wondered why El Viajero rides with a man like this Joe Daylight.

Does Doña Maria always take such interest in a stranger?

Maria.

My father once told me to stop worrying when I met a woman...

I could fight with five minutes after meeting her.

There's no other way.

The facts speak for themselves.

No, senor.

If we put all our cattle into one herd, it will be easier for Rojo to get them.

Not if all of our men are there to protect them.

You keep forgetting, Senor. Our haciendas and peons need to be protected

as well.

Don José has not been a haciendado long enough to know that, Father.

We can collect all the valuables and peons in one hacienda.

So only a few men can defend them.

Areola, there is merit in what Don José says.

And you speak the truth, too.

Perhaps it would be as well to sleep on it.

This talk keeps up. We'll still be asleep when Rojo hits.

We in Mexico have learned patience, senor.

Well, that's all right in a poker game, but with a bandit like Rojo... We've

heard about the poker game in which Don Esteban lost Casa Grande to you.

Yes, this is not a poker game, senor.

The lives of our ranchers are at stake.

You see, senor, we are always outnumbered by Rojo and his men.

If your vaquero shot straighter, numbers would make no difference.

If an Hidalgo had been present at your encounter, senor, I doubt if you would

be here with us now. Hold now, senores. At least I know how to settle this

difference of opinion.

Pedro, have them set fiesta targets on the barrera.

Si, senor.

We've got a long talk coming.

Daylight.

Don't push your hand, Doc.

Just because you've drawn a card.

You first, Luis.

Good.

You don't think Rojo worries us?

There's not a gun born south of the border that can stand against us.

You could have helped with those Hidalgos.

You're one of their kind.

Forget it.

There is only one thing I want.

Why, it is great concern of yours for other ranchos, especially their cattle.

The Haciendado is supposed to look after his neighbors.

Sure.

Especially when a girl like Maria is a neighbor.

Don't get any funny ideas about her, daylight.

We're not her kind.

Joe Daylight's anybody's kind, when he wants to be.

Don't you ever forget it.

Let's have that talk now.

Be my guest.

You, uh, showed good sense keeping your mouth shut.

Yeah.

So you won the Casa Grande in a poker game.

I want to know what happened to that bank money.

Doc, will you listen to me?

The shares still stand, don't they?

I needed all of you here to pull off this deal. You could have leveled.

Leveled?

If that cash had been split, I've never known a gun hand yet who would work on

the full stomach.

Well, maybe.

But what's the real deal here? All that talk about cattle.

I know you too well.

How much gold do you think, oh, about 15,000 head would bring in Kansas?

15,000.

Who needs land?

The boys will love this.

I'm enough of that, lady.

Traveler, you need his gun.

He's still Mexican, and a highborn at that.

He mightn't take too kindly to what's kicking around in your head.

He'll play, or else.

15 pounds.

Take her in the house and put some clothes on her.

Whose idea was this?

I said it was not permitted for me to pass judgment.

Talk yourself out of that.

All right, everybody, back to work.

All right, back to work.

Those dons coming in on this drive, are they going to sleep forever?

It took a lot of Mexican patience to build these walls.

They'll let you know, one way or another, soon enough.

A lot of good patience will do them if Rojo drives the cattle off.

I don't get it.

All you have been talking about for days is their cattle.

They tried to run off some head There's about

five of them back there ain't gonna be doing no more riding They'll learn not

to hit the Casa Grande.

Good. Maybe they'll be back.

Better prepared.

Just calling a spade a spade. I told you it wouldn't be a picnic.

Don't matter. Because for once we're fighting for what's ours.

All right, back to work.

I made up my mind.

I'll have Mario send word inviting the Hidalgos to dinner.

Maybe they won't come.

Why not? What's wrong with the dinner invite?

Nothing, but it takes time for Hidalgos to accept strangers.

The time's running out. You ought to be able to make them see that, especially

since Rojo's showing his hand.

All right, daylight, all right.

If they come, I'll try.

But you'd better be dealing straight.

Or what?

One of us may end up with a busted flush.

I am hungry. How much longer do you expect us to wait like this?

Until they get here.

That's how long.

We sit here much longer, it will be morning.

You sure the invitations went out?

And delivered by Carlos.

I'm getting pretty tired of waiting myself.

You'll wait until I tell you not to.

We'll all wait.

Father, what do you think?

Are we sitting around for nothing?

I don't care what anybody thinks.

We'll wait.

You can wait the rest of the night.

I'm going to bed.

Looks like your Hidalgo bloodline wasn't good enough to bring them either.

The Davos are coming!

Well, we certainly settled the problem at the beginning.

Why don't you kiss him?

Oh, that's what I like about you.

Mario, get this place cleaned up. Si, senor.

We were attacked by some of Rojo's men.

We lost more than ten vaqueros.

We must have a doctor for Castellari, bleeding badly.

I've got a piece of paper that gives me the name of Doc.

Carlos, give me a hand. Get him upstairs.

I'll need yours, too.

I'll get one of the servants to help you.

Do as the Doc says.

Gentlemen,

it'll be good hands from the Doc. This way.

Make yourself comfortable.

Some wine.

Rooms have been prepared for you.

But dinner will be a few minutes late.

Thank you, senores, but that will not be necessary.

It was a long ride just for trouble, eh?

I shall not mince words, and I speak for all of us.

We have written here only because of a common danger.

Rojo is increasing his forces, and we have seen you and your men handle your

guns.

Our guns are not for hire, Areola.

Do not misunderstand me.

But it is no secret that you have had some experience in border fighting.

And Don Castellar has convinced us that you should command our forces.

All right.

The first thing we do is combine our herds.

He's got a bullet in his thigh.

It's got to come out. Oh, he'll be all right, but he can't be moved.

Dona Maria must be told. We'll take care of that.

What is your first command, Don Jose?

Each of you start gathering your cattle. I'll tell you where and when we'll bring

them together.

This was only a range station.

Ojo should be killed like a wild animal.

Very.

I... I am all right, Maria.

They are taking good care of me.

Just...

Just tired.

Easy, Maria.

He'll be all right.

He's not young anymore.

He's all I've got.

Don't be too sure of that.

Could El Viajero stop traveling?

What does your heart tell you?

Easy, easy.

The laughing kid.

Being cuddled like a house cat.

Hey, not bad, kid.

Not bad at all. Take your hands off her.

Oh, you're not afraid of me, are you? I said take your hands off her.

just about enough of it.

Either you start remembering your butt on the same side or I'll split you right

down the middle.

You.

Give Carlos a hand. He's ready to ride.

How's the stallion coming?

Coming fine.

I'll put a saddle on him in about a week.

What did he call you laughing kid?

It is because you never smile?

I've noticed it.

It is very easy.

All you have to do is raise the corners of your mouth.

Perhaps it will even make you feel happier.

Like this.

Thank you.

Here he comes.

Afternoon. I've been waiting to talk to you.

Gitana.

I will see you later.

I have important things to discuss with Mario and the servant.

The new Mexico, I'm afraid.

No doubt. Nothing is ever permanent.

Something I can do for you?

I've been trying to thank you for what you did for my father.

Oh, he's coming along fine.

But no riding for him for at least a few weeks. Adios.

Señor doc.

I just was wondering.

I know.

How is it possible to be a doctor and a gunman?

It's a long story, señorita. I won't bore you with it.

Let's call it one of the quirks of living.

All right.

I know it isn't any of my business.

But the vaqueros you have treated have wanted to express their appreciation.

Pasasita!

Now! Please.

They wanted you to have it as a token.

You've done so much for them.

for good luck always.

And this is my own idea.

Just like a few quiet words with you.

Well, make it fast. I have some things to do.

I was thinking, we've got a good thing going here and... Oh, that's not new.

Oh, before I forget it, as soon as the herd's collected, you'll be traveling

north. I want a good crew waiting when we cross the river. Slow down. You're

way ahead of me. I'm talking about the rancho.

What about the rancho?

You know, it feels kind of good to have people looking up to you instead of

hunting you.

What are you talking about?

Do I have to spell it out for you?

I like it here.

Better than the pot of gold at the end of the cattle rainbow?

Come on, Doc, get off it.

A man can change.

Not us.

We've been at it too long.

Forget it.

A man can change.

You feeling sorry for yourself again?

Dylan!

Come on.

But the killing he wants, it's going to be his.

Daylight.

He goes kill crazy.

Come on down.

He's carrying a real charge in there.

Doc, it's Traveler.

I'm coming in.

Doc.

I have no gun.

Take it easy.

Look, take it easy.

Easy, Doc.

Easy does it.

Come on, Doc.

You're getting in a rut.

Saving lives.

You don't have anything to worry about.

I had you covered the whole time.

Kid, give me a hand, please.

Come, boy.

It is not funny.

You could have been killed.

Thank you.

Wouldn't, kid.

No gun.

Pick it up.

Take her to my room.

If you want the kid, it's through me, daylight.

I wonder just how good you really are at poker.

Draw or drop.

And we saw about 25 bandidos heading this way. That's what we doubled back.

How far behind you, Carlos?

Five, ten minutes.

Spread the vaqueros so they cover this courtyard from the roofs.

Tell them to keep out of sight.

Get those horses out of here.

Traveler, you and I'll swing to the roof. Doc, kid, the wagons. You know

what to do. Now move.

Now everybody out of this courtyard. I want it clear.

Keep out of sight.

Get back in the house. No, I'm not Maria.

I fight here with you.

Hold on.

Stay down.

This one's Carvajal, Don Jose.

Rojo's second in command.

What do you usually do with them?

We've never taken any before.

Take these two out and shoot them.

You, Carvajal.

Tell Rojo what it means to ride against the Casagrande.

And tell him I want to talk with him.

In open country.

Put him on a horse, Scala.

You might be sticking your neck into a trap.

Not with the deal I got in mind.

Don't you worry.

But I will worry.

Well, how do you like that?

I finally got somebody to worry about me.

This is the place, Don Jose.

They should be on that side.

Wave your rifle twice.

Let's ride.

We go.

I've heard about you, gringo.

I can return the compliment, amigo.

Good, so we understand each other.

I wrote in to make a deal.

Deal? I have over 400 fighting men.

Why should Rojo make a deal? I take what I want.

You should have 20 or 30 less fighting men since you came up against the Casa

Grande.

Men do not laugh at Rojo.

That's just what I was telling my amigo.

That would be our hero here.

What is the deal?

You leave the ranchos alone.

We gather all the cattle in one herd.

You can have half.

You call that a deal, senor, when you are outnumbered on all sides?

We were outnumbered on all sides at the Casa Grande, too, before our guns opened

up.

Carvajal here can... I wouldn't, Carvajal.

All right.

It is done.

When do you deliver?

In ten days.

And don't come before that.

We wouldn't consider it friendly.

Ten days, senor, or we ride.

And maybe we prove...

What happened to Casagrande was an accident.

What do you think?

I don't trust Rojo.

He'll never be satisfied with just half the herd.

He's a killer and he's treacherous.

You surprised me, amigo.

You underestimate me.

I expect Rawhide to be treacherous.

So?

So we'll be ready.

You

had

no right to make such a deal, giving half our cattle away.

I had no choice.

Would you rather have Rojo cut you down one by one?

Don Jose speaks wisely.

Better to lose some cattle than many lives.

No one questions that.

What we question is how do we know Rojo will keep his bargain.

What do you think, Viajero?

You were present at the meeting.

I have known men like Rojo before.

They are not to be trusted.

Casa Grande is better equipped to defend itself than anyone.

Yet I'll keep my bargain with Rojo if I have to do it alone.

How does it go?

They have been running cattle into one big herd for a week.

We'll have it all, Carvajal.

First, the cattle, since they are stupid enough to drive them all together.

Then, whatever the haciendas offer.

And, of course,

the women.

Another few days... Another few days, there won't be a cow left outside this

valley. Traveler?

I don't like it, daylight.

What is it you don't like?

This canyon we're building a herd in.

If Rocco breaks his word, there is only one way out.

Right. But there's only one way in, too. Did you ever think of that?

Oh, stop playing games.

This whole part of the country is at stake.

All right, traveler.

Now see if you can get this.

I told you before I don't trust Rojo. And I knew it would lead to showdown.

Well, I've picked the battleground.

Ah, son!

Don José!

Don José!

Carvajal is taking the herd. He rode out hard.

If Rojo sends Carvajal, it means one thing.

He's going to attack.

You figure.

This is only the eighth day. It sure is.

I told Rojo we wouldn't take it kindly.

Tell him to stand by.

You take the lookout position.

You know what to do.

Let's go.

Let's get going.

Right under that ribbon. Turn it towards the wall. We've got to sight in on it.

Be sure to cover this whole area.

Yeah.

All right, you men, take off your umbrellas.

Now get down.

And don't even breathe till you get the signal.

um

Well, that takes care of Rojo.

You picked it right, Don Jose.

Let's start the cattle heading north.

First, let's start taking care of the wounded.

That's right, Doc. Let's get started.

All right, you men!

Help the Doc take care of the wounded here.

Hi, Doc.

Let's have a look at this thing.

Just... How are you going to be all right?

Thanks. I guess they won't be calling you the laughing kid anymore.

A person can always change when he finds a taproot.

Or something worth fighting for.

How do you feel, doctor, eh?

Doc, I've been looking for you.

I've been pretty busy.

Don't bark at me, Doc. I'm not one of your patients.

You should be, daylight.

You're loco, you know that?

Go on, Doc. You've got everything a man could want right now.

A home.

People who don't know you as well as I do, so they trust you.

You're getting a big mouth without whiskey, Doc.

Maybe so, but you get one thing straight.

I'm staying here.

I'm not heading north.

You're heading where I tell you to.

You forgot to tell me why I'm loco.

Because you're greedy, Daylight.

All you can think about is running these cattle across the border and never

coming back.

Well, I'm not going to help you double-cross these people.

You're no good, Daylight.

Well?

Like I always said, Traveller, that soft spot's gonna get you killed.

I loved him.

What?

What could you have done without him?

Yes, Kitano's right. If not for your daylight, we'd still have Rojo to

contend with.

That's so.

My father always says a man's destiny is a strange thing.
