For years you worked at this station.

- You should be able to fix it. - Oh well, if it was that easy.

It was badly damaged.

Okay, now that...

Yes, that's the right way.

Damn it!

Okay, let's check it out.

That one... Right.

Hey!

- You'll never get it done. - Get lost!

Back off!

Did you hear me?

What a naysayer!

- And you, hurry up! - ,,Hurry up” my ass.

You come here, destroying everything and then you keep me in here for months...

so I can fix this damn thing.

We're sick of this damn country.

If we don't make it out of here, we're all gonna starve to death.

You are though and strong. Why don't you just go away?

- Are you afraid of the desert? - Of course we are.

130 miles of sand, no water and no idea whether on the other side of it...

the confederates or the damn union soldiers will wait for us.

I think I made it work.

- Are you sure, Manuel? Watch out... - That's great.

Yes, very good.

Yes... yes, yes, yes.

Finally it's working. Yes...

That's it. Go tell your boss.

Martinez!

Martinez!

Where is Martinez?

- What's the matter? - The telegraph!

The telegraph is working, boss.

'Old Manuel fixed it.

He is a magician.

Now we're no longer cut-off from the rest of the world, boss.

Come on, follow me.

THE WAR - 1T ENDED SIX MONTHS AGO -

THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH ARE UNITED UNDER THE NEW BANNER OF AMERICA -

PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING PEACE AND SET THE COURSE

TO GAIN NEW PROSPERITY

What? The war is over?

So the war is over. The war is...!

The war isn't over yet.

Otherwise who could have wanted to kill him?

And to destroy the telegraph? Damn it!

Not the old man was the magician.

It was someone else. We're still cut-off from the rest of the world.

In this godforsaken land!

He killed the old man and destroyed the telegraph.

But you shouldn't have killed him, Major.

He was armed. I had to do it.

A confederate gun.

It is not loaded.

One of your soldiers was supposed to guard the prisoner.

He was killed. He got knifed in the back.

- I'm sorry, there was no other choice. - I guess we can bury our hopes...

ever getting our wages.

You know, if my people don't get the money, they will start an uprising.

Sooner or later reinforcement will come and you'll get what's yours.

The Union won't forget it's collaborators.

Alright, Major. But you should hurry up things.

Otherwise your life too might be in danger.

I keep my word, Martinez.

Hey there!

Why are you running?

You need to fall down first, before you start to talk?

Were you on your way to see your sister Consuelo?

Tell her, I need to talk to her. I have something to tell her.

Private Scott.

Follow me.

You others go back to the camp.

Alright, Major.

We left him here. I'm sure of that.

I was deluded. Search him! Hurry up!

You two take that direction, you'll go that way.

He can't be very far.

Hello stranger.

Drink!

Come on. You are thirsty, aren't you?

It's water.

It will do you good.

That's my father.

Eat, stranger. You are safe here.

My son Pedrito and I brought you here.

By God, you are hungry!

You can clean yourself a bit my friend.

Hey Amigo, don't you feel well?

My name is Shango.

I'm a ranger.

Open that door!

Search everywhere! Get them out of here!

Find the prisoner!

I want the whole village on that place there!

Come on, get up!

Go search that house!

And you, move!

Get those lousy bastards out!

- I want that prisoner! - Get lost!

Search everywhere!

Come on, get them out!

Come on, move! Get going! Move!

You too! Back off! Get lost!

Where is the prisoner?

Two men over there! Get going you bastards!

Over there, move!

Check everywhere! Search those buildings!

Stop those people!

Let's go.

In this direction! In this direction! In this direction! In this direction!

Make sure you get all guns!

That's the squadron that took our column prisoner.

If it's really them, where's our money?

That's a ranger.

He is only wounded. We will need him.

Let's take him away.

Stay inside. Hidden.

Yes, inside. Hidden.

But why?

Why hidden? Where is the cage? Why am I not in the cage anymore?

How long have I been here? Speak up.

A day?

Two days?

A week?

- Tell me. - Longer.

How much longer?

A month?

Two months?

- How long? - Several moons.

- Even longer. - Many moons? How many moons?

Five?

Six? Answer me!

- How long have I been in this village? - Six moons. Roughly.

Six...

The war is over for six months now.

Over?

The South had surrendered already when I came here along with the Union troops.

We were supposed to defeat the last of the confederate troops.

The war is over for six month. Maybe even longer.

Nice.

Yes, children are always nice.

I never wanted to have children, to bring them to this world...

is a great responsibility.

You parents have to take care of them...

when you are working, when you are eating, even when you are sleeping.

And also when you go to war.

They should live and grow up light-heartedly.

But that's up to you and your help regarding our common cause.

Or the shelter you're giving this escaped prisoner.

You know where he's hiding.

So you better talk.

Those who hide our enemies will become our enemies.

You better take care of your lives.

Come.

Beauty!

- Where is the granary? - Over there.

Get lost!

Get out of my way!

Hey Pedro!

You fell asleep? Wake up!

Down with your guns!

I don't have the slightest intention of killing you.

The war is over, but you surely don't know.

I'll hold you prisoner until I can talk with your boss.

Do what I say and nothing bad will happen to you.

And when you finally get away from this goddamn place

you'll profit from the amnesty our gouvernment will grant you.

I couldn't help it. I'm sorry.

It was good you did it. You defended my house.

Shango.

You were fantastic.

Some damn ranger did this.

There's no doubt about it.

You still think that way?

You saw him falling down in front of you, did you?

How could one single guy kill six armed men?

I don't like it at all what's going on here.

It seems to me that it always involves my men only.

I know. I know why you didn't kill him.

You wanted to keep all the gold.

Don't talk nonsense, Martinez.

I put six bullets into his body.

The peones took his body away.

It is them who are fighting us all the time.

If you want to continue to torment these people... just go on.

By now many months went by that me and my soldiers...

are waiting for gold from your government. That wasn't our deal!

Major, you're up to your neck into trouble.

If those Union soldiers will get you, they're gonna shoot you.

For the massacre at Fol1 Laramie.

No tricks or I'm gonna shoot you like a dog.

That won't be so easy, Martinez.

The war is over, Fernandez.

It might be over in the nolthern and southern states...

but not in this godforsaken land.

Just because celtain Southerners and those Mexicans didn't get it yet.

They ought to be told.

Those arms must stay here. The men in village must not get them.

It would mean their death.

These people are not used to shoot a gun.

I don't know much about war, but now I know about Mexicans.

And now I learned about confederate soldiers too.

If you go and tell them the war is over, they won't believe you.

They would shoot you.

I know, it's a big risk.

But I have to talk to this Major.

I see no other way, Fernandez.

It dangerous to hand you out those weapons.

You understand?

It's a risk we too have to take.

The people in the village would rather die then to put up with more...

Now we have three killed soldiers.

For them it's a serious loss. I can't accept that, Fernandez.

Alright, Shango.

If it's that impofcant to you...

then go and talk with that Major, but it won't be that easy.

I just see no other way.

I'll sneak into their camp tonight. You have to help me.

I have to know where their guards are positioned.

What is it?

Let's hope, nobody comes in here all of a sudden, Major Droster.

That could result in an unpleasant incident.

Some of your soldiers needlessly wanted to die today.

I hope that you don't want to follow their example.

The role model for an Officer is always a higher-up.

But why did you say ,,needlessly”?

The war ended some time ago and you knew it, Major Droster.

I told you that many times when you were keeping me in that cage.

Now the situation has changed. Now you have to listen to me.

And because of that I have to believe that story regarding the gold?

By the way, where is it?

- It's at headquarters. - Sure.

- You have to believe me, Major. - With a gun in my face?

I never should have let you get out of that cage, not without killing you...

But you didn't do it, Major Droster.

And I think you won't get another oppofcunity.

I have to consider myself then as your prisoner?

A big hit, really, not bad at all.

A whole train, somehow decimated, but a whole confederate train

along with their Mexican collaborators are captivated by one single ranger.

What a strike!

Killing prisoners has lost any meaning by now.

You have to leave this area.

Why are you carrying a gun?

Your word as officer and gentleman...

- ...in exchange for this gun. - You have my word, ranger.

Get him.

Throw him into the cage.

Tomorrow he will be shot.

If a man takes freedom with him, the Gods are powerless.

Run!

Out!

Put him back in the cage.

This man's crazy. He won't understand, that the war is over.

He wants to kill you!

Come on, give me a hand.

What a fool.

Now we have to carry him along, damn it!

They let him escape.

- We have to find him! - You go that way. Go!

You'll go along, Scott.

You're going that way! We take this direction!

You go that way! And you guys follow me!

What happened?

Confederates and Mexicans are all around here. They're looking for you.

Give me that sombrero.

And that poncho too.

Now go to work. All of you!

Hurry up!

They are coming.

Tell Fernandez I have to talk to him.

Search him!

There he is!

That's not him. Where is he?

Here I am.

You were right, Fernandez.

They don't want to understand, that the war has ended.

Regarding those weapons, I didn't change my mind.

I don't want to put anybody at risk.

I have to make it to the next Fort.

The next Fort is some 130 miles away.

And you'd have to cross the salt desert.

Not even the best horse would get you through that.

Besides: you are too impofcant to us.

Go and get me the best horse.

And I'll make it to the Fort.

No, you have to stay with us. One of my men will try it.

So be it.

Go, get going!

Come on! Let's go!

There is Pablo, the drunk.

Hey, jackass, stop it! Freeze!

- Looks like his son is drunk too. - Let's have some fun.

Are you loaded too?

Hey boy! Don't you know, trespassing is forbidden?

Ok, get lost!

Did you see how scared he was?

Fernandez!

Let's hope he makes it.

He didn't get very far.

Fernandez, let's get those guns.

I have no other choice left.

Distribute those arms. I can't do much on my own.

But prepare yourself for the worst to come.

We are ready for it.

Are we going to make it?

We have to make it!

If not it means the end for all of us. My end and the end of you peones.

- We'll start tomorrow night. - Agreed.

Martinez, my boss, he is very lonesome.

He is rather sad.

Cowards.

Cowards.

What is it, Consuelo?

Rosaria ...

They took her away again. Those Mexican pigs!

Cowards.

Cowards!

Cowards!

Salvador!

Salvador!

Damn bastards!

Salvador!

The peones have guns! Search everywhere!

Two more rifles!

You'll all get shot!

WE WERE SHOT, BECAUSE WE DARED...

TO RAISE OUR WEAPONS AGAINST CONFEDERATES

The weapons! Let's get those guns!

No, Fernandez! Wait!

The idea using a sniper didn't work out.

Instead seven more of my men paid for your idea with their lives.

That's my method!

You'll see, it will work out!

A small fire won't make the peones deliver us the ranger.

You Southerners have no idea of the ingenuity of Mexicans.

I would rather say we have no trust in them.

Whatever, go use your method.

I'll use it.

You!

He was talking to you. Move!

You surely have good heels and a lot of endurance.

Go find those men!

They preferred to run instead of defending their women!

Tell them to deliver me the ranger.

Hurry up if you want to save the lives of these women!

I don't know where they are.

They won't be punished, if you hand him over to me!

They should hurry up, if they want to save their lives.

And yours!

They will find you, if you won't find them. Go!

Go, my dear.

Run!

- Get those women in the corral. - Come on, let's go!

- Move! - Come on! Move!

Let's go!

That's Pamela!

Pamela, what happened?

The Mexicans.

- And? - They want to kill the women.

Let's take her to Fernandez and the stranger.

We have no other choice. We have to hand you over to the Mexicans.

I did warn you, Fernandez.

Everybody's life is in danger.

Yes, but this is too much.

We can't let our women die in such a brutal way.

You're coming with us.

Go!

Open your eyes.

I will let you watch them die.

It will be the last show you'll ever see.

Set it alight!

In a moment...

the flames will reach their faces.

Redirect that fire!

Martinez!

You forced me to deliver this man to you.

Now let our women go!

First I want to look into that bastard's face!

Bring him over.

Shango!

Shango, come out!

Ringer!

Where are you?

Come out!

You can fight me, if you dare!

- Right behind you, Martinez.

Turn around!

The Southerners! The Southerners are leaving!

The Southerners are leaving! They're bailing out!

The war is over! It's over!

We're free again!

Stranger! Fernandez! The Southerners are bailing out!

They're going! Stranger!

- They're bailing out! - Can't you be more specific?

The Southerners took some cart and started to move out.

- Yes. - In what direction?

I saw them. Down there.

Heading for the desert.

That's not possible.

- Let's go back to the village! - Boys, that's some kind of trick!

- Call back those men! - I can't, stranger.

Throw away your guns!

- We're free! - We're free!

- Why should... - Don't you get it? It's a trick!

Stop it! Where do you want to go to? Are you crazy?

Down with the Southerners!

Call'em back, Fernandez. It's a trap.

I can't.

- Free at last! - We are free!

- You are mad! - We are free people.

Stop hat!

- Hurrah! - Hurrah!

I will see my children again!

- Let's destroy everything! - Down with the Southerners!

At last!

- My friend! - Come here.

Let me give you a hug!

- It's over! - Thank God!

- A nice feast, right? - Absolutely.

- I want too. Let me too. - Careful, children.

Come and buy! Come and buy! Today is a holiday!

Manuel!

Thanks, stranger.

Hello, stranger.

Take off your gun. Today is a holiday.

Come and join me.

Hey Manuel!

From this day on this village is part of the Southern Confederacy!

Anybody acting against the law will face a death penalty!

Did I make myself clear?

Step up, ranger!

You're gonna be the first.

You're gonna act as an example to these people.

- No! You stay with us. - Are you crazy? Let me go!

- No. - Let me go!

Let me through! He is crazy!

Let me go! They're gonna shot you!

I'm telling you, let me go.

Hand me over that man! He is my prisoner!

You have 10 seconds to deliver him to me!

After those 10 seconds my men will open fire!

Let me go! They will kill you if I do not face them.

No! No!

One.

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Six!

Seven!

Eight!

Nine!

Ten!

Fire! Fire!

Kill them!

Scott!

Scott?

Scott!

Williams?

Bury the dead.

And bury those guns too.
