Original subtitles

- I ride in from the far side

and you take the main road John.

You, you go in down there.

And remember, we ain't gonna shoot nobody

unless they actually force a fight.

- Did you all hear that?

Keep your aim high, we'll just scare 'em.

Let's go!

- Come on.

- Let's go!

- And I look for the resurrection of the body,

light of the world to come.

I absolve thee in the name of the Father

and of the Son and the Holy Ghost.

(dramatic music) (guns firing)

- Don't get excited anybody,

just keep calm and no one will get hurt.

Hey you, get that noose off of him

and untie his hands.

Quick!

Damn fool!

Don't move anyone, unless you want to join your hero.

Out of the way!

Don't worry Red, you'll be all right.

We'll get you to the doctor.

- The doctor can't do nothing now Ramon.

You'd better just find someone to bury me.

- That's no way to talk. - Wait listen!

The gold ingots are in two iron cases hidden under the floor

of the church school at the Mission of Saint Francis.

- What?

In a mission?

- Yeah, it's been there more than 15 years.

That's what Roy said before he died.

- Where is it?

Where is this mission?

- It's 100 miles away.

A border post on the way to Mexico.

Before Carrizo Springs.

You'll have to move fast because Ringo Black knows too.

There's a secret passage to get in through.

If it works out do something for Martha.

- Sure. - Promise?

Thanks Ramon.

Get one of the woman as a hostage.

Hurry.

Are you the undertaker?

- Well I guess you could say so.

- Here, that's to pay for his funeral.

Understand?

- Yeah, thank you sir.

- [Woman] No, no, let go!

- And see you make it a good one

or you'll have me to answer to!

- [Woman] Take your hands off of me!

- Sheriff listen, you've got to give us a head start.

And to make sure you do,

we're gonna take this here girl along.

And provided you don't crowd us, we'll set her free later.

Without touching a hair of her head.

- I ain't got much choice!

How much time you want!

- A couple of days.

- Suits me!

- You know the red house, on the other side of Sunset Fork?

- [Sheriff] Yeah.

- Two days from now we'll leave the girl there,

but remember, don't you move out of town til tomorrow

at sundown or all you'll get is a corpse, understand?

- Yeah, sure.

- Come on, let's go.

- Woman] Let me go, please, please don't take me away.

Please let me go.

Help!

Help!

Oh!

- [Goliath] Father Anthony!

Stop!

Stop!

- [Father] What is it?

- [Goliath] Something dreadful's happened Father Anthony.

Dreadful.

- What is it?

Sounds like a gun battle.

- A bunch of outlaws lookin' for gold got into the mission.

But some more gunmen arrived right after them.

A much bigger gang

and the two of them have been murdering each other.

They've been fightin' for a couple of hours,

they could have got me too,

only I was out workin' when they arrived.

- The people are in danger, they'll be hurt!

Haw!

- How can you?

- Hey James.

Put those boxes of dynamite around the outside.

- You're crazy Ramon.

You can't blow up the mission.

- You're the one who's crazy.

Don't you realize there's a fortune in there.

- Hey, look who's here, the priest.

- He'll make things much simpler.

We'll have less work to do.

- Yeah, let's go boys.

- [Father] Tell your men to stop shooting!

There are innocent children in there.

You might kill them.

- Don't get excited Father.

Along with those innocent children,

there's a gang of grown up outlaws

and they're trying to keep us from getting in.

Can't you hear 'em?

- And we can't wait around all day.

- But you're the.

- Yeah Father? - The Three Ace Gang.

Aren't you?

- That's right Father, The Three Ace Gang.

And I'm the Ace of Hearts.

- I'm the Ace of Diamonds.

- And I'm the Ace of Spades.

- I've got a feelin' I know him, yeah.

Hey, we met before Father, ain't we?

- What do you want from me?

What are you looking for in the mission?

(man laughing)

- We're looking for some cases of gold

that we want to take off your hands.

- I don't know of any gold in there.

- [John] Well we do and we know where it is too.

- I'm sure I've seen him.

If only I could remember.

- The way things are,

them coyotes inside are doin' their best to keep us out

and out if we have to fight our way in

some of us will get hurt, that's why we need your help.

- What help do you expect me to give you?

- We want you to show us the entrance to the secret passage.

The one that leads into the mission.

Eh, it's true that there's a secret passage, ain't there.

- First time I heard of one.

- Eh?

- I give you my word on it.

(Ramon laughing)

- He gives us his word (laughing).

How about that.

Everybody knows there's a secret passage.

The story's been going around for years.

Expect us to believe you ain't never heard of it, huh?

(Ramon laughing)

Maybe it's just slipped your mind.

Tie him over the well.

Where that bucket is.

A nice cool drink may refresh his memory.

- Bob, Curt come on!

- Some day you'll pay for your evil.

Nobody can flee the wrath of the Lord.

- You hear that?

Just can't help preachin'.

- We're fixing to send you on your way to heaven, Father.

So you can arrange for us

to get a little of that divine grace and mercy.

Eh, get this through your head,

we've got dynamite laid all around the mission

all I gotta do is light a fuse and boom!

Up she goes.

Including all your innocent souls, understand!

Lower away!

Now where's the secret passage?

- I don't know!

- Down!

- Now I know where I've seen him.

I was sure I recognized that face.

It's Tony Lant.

- Yeah?

Who's he?

- [Man With Beard] The famous gunfighter.

- You know him? - Uh uh.

- No, never heard of him.

- What did you say his name is?

- Tony Lant.

But of course nobody around here would know.

He worked to far out,

but he's the fastest gunman in the whole of Arizona.

Yeah, now I've seen him in action and I'm ready to swear

when he draws a gun nobody around can keep up

with the speed of that pistol.

- Eh.

And look at him now, he's a priest.

- Yeah, he disappeared all of a sudden

and we never did find out where he got too.

- Why he ran straight into the arms of the Lord

to repent his sins.

Ain't that right?

- If the slightest harm comes to those children

because of you, I swear I'll hang you all myself

in front of the mission.

- Well, well, a hangman priest.

God's avenger.

Well Father, if you care so much about those damn children,

you don't want to seen them blown

to pieces when the dynamite goes off,

for the last time, where's the secret passage.

- If you don't talk you'll be responsible for killin' 'em.

- Well, where is it?

- Come on Father, save their innocent souls.

- There isn't any passage I tell you.

- Fasten that rope so he can have a good look at the show.

Light the fuse and get under cover!

- [Bandit] The school is over here!

Come on!

- Hey, have a look in here.

- [Tim] I still say we shouldn't have blown

up the mission.

- Never mind, when I get back

to Waco I'll put $5,000 in the poor box.

That'll make up for it.

You've got the word of Ramon Arraya

Good that looks like the cases.

Haul them out of there.

Bob, give them a hand.

- Oh I think these damn things are heavy.

I hope this really is gold.

- Each one of those cases holds 100 gold ingots.

And every ingot is a pound of gold.

- Well, with the price of gold what it is,

that makes around half a million.

- In spite of being such and ignorant son of a gun,

he sure is good at arithmetic.

- [Bob] There, that's it, give us a hand.

- [John] How do you figure to sell it?

- [Spades] I know just the man for us.

Why he'll even come and pick it up

and leave a nice tidy stack of bills.

- Carry them outside.

Hey Tim, go get the wagon and bring it to the well.

And bring all our horses down here.

- [Tim] Come on, we got to take the wagon

and the horses down to the well.

- Hiya, hiya.

- Load the cases on the wagon.

And cover them up.

You tried to resist The Three Aces.

I said I'd give you a hand to Paradise didn't I.

But that wouldn't be right.

The place for you is hell.

All right everyone, let's go.

- [Goliath] Hold on Father Anthony.

Just another step, you'll be safe.

There you are.

Oh praise the Lord.

- Thank you my son.

Thank you.

- [Goliath] How you feelin', huh?

- I've got such a headache.

Those bandits killed everyone.

But they'll pay for it.

Mm hm.

There was one of them I recognized.

I saw him a couple of weeks ago in Laughton,

in Oklahoma.

He was supposed to meet a man on Saturday on business.

To collect some supplies.

I've got five days to head him off.

Come on hurry, let's get out of here.

- [Goliath] Look the passage is very low.

We're gonna have to crawl.

- What passage, where does it go?

- [Goliath] It comes out across the border,

in the ruins of the old mission.

This was the secret passage them outlaws were lookin' for.

They didn't know the old mission was burnt down years ago.

Now come on.

- [Father] Yes.

Easy.

- Now then.

We're gonna put the gold in my bank.

That way we'll know it's safe and sound.

You John, in the meantime go meet that friend of yours,

the one you said has all the money

and that's gonna buy our gold.

- Okay, I reckon that should take about a week.

I'm gonna stop over and see the old lady.

Poor old thing, it's been a year since I've seen her.

Hey Fred, the supplies I ordered

in Laughton will get here before I'm back.

You can store them in the old cowshed.

- Hold on a minute.

It wasn't part of the agreement we made

that the gold should stay with one person.

- Yes.

But it was part of our agreement

to go our separate ways afterwards.

To go back to our old respectable jobs

and give up plans for other robberies.

Leaving our valuable property

where we know it will come to no harm.

- No.

I propose we divide up the gold right now

into three equal parts.

And then each one of us will look after his groups gold.

Then when John gets back with the man he's fetching,

each one of us will hand over his part of the gold

and at the same time he gets paid in the money

which we'll then share out like we agreed

with the other fellas.

- Hey, John.

Tell us, what do you think of that.

- It's okay by me.

The part that belongs to my boys you can give to Fred.

- Yeah but boss, you split the gold in three parts first,

then our boys will make less.

- That's true, why don't you split it by two.

- Well you're lucky you're alive and gonna get anything.

Lots of the others got paid back there.

- Eh, that makes it even.

- You're real smart at arithmetic Ramon.

The counts always work out perfect.

Well so long for now.

Be seeing ya.

- I'd like to talk to your Uncle Paul young man.

Do you know where I might find him?

- The only uncle I have is called Goliath.

- Who is it Tom?

Why Bishop, good morning.

- Good morning Ma'am.

I was just asking the child here

if he knew where I might find Paul.

- I'm afraid he's on a trip with Father Anthony.

I don't know when he'll be home.

- Did they say where they were going?

- No.

- Yeah, glad I heard Father Anthony talking

about how they were gonna have

to get to someplace called Anson.

- He don't know nothing about it.

Don't listen to him Bishop.

- I'll be running along.

Thanks for the information Tom.

God be with you.

- Goodbye Bishop.

C'mon inside.

The idea!

- Whoa!

Hold it!

I got to go to Laughton.

You keep on going.

The minute you arrive ask for Fred.

He manages the warehouse.

He'll tell you where to unload everything.

But be careful you don't break nothing.

Here this will get you some vittles

but you gotta work for it.

- Gee thanks Mr. Darnell.

- And tell Fred I should get to Anson by Sunday.

- So long, thanks again.

- You know Mr. Darnell is so kind,

we ought to make a stop in Haskell and drink to his health.

- Okay, what's more, how about stoppin' over to sleep there.

The horses gotta rest sometime don't they?

And besides, there's a saloon with girls you gotta see.

- That's a great idea amigo, let's get moving.

- [Bob] Yahoo!

- He'll be ready by tonight.

Meantime I suppose you be wanting to get some rest.

Let me show you the rooming house.

It ain't far away.

- All right, and on the way I can buy you

those cigars I promised you.

Let's go.

- You know I can always wait till this evening.

- No, no, what if you wanted

to smoke one while you were shoeing my horse?

- What can I do for ya?

- I want a place for the wagon for the night.

We're leavin' tomorrow morning at sunup.

- It'll be $1 including food for the horses.

- Mm. - Yeah.

- You leave it there, I'll put it away.

- Where's the best place to get a room?

- There's a kind of a rooming house next street over.

But I think you fellas will find the hotel's much better.

- [Bob] See you tomorrow morning.

- Now let's say we pop into the saloon.

- Yeah, we better clean up first though.

- Who the devil!

- I'm the passenger you're taking to Anston.

- Uh, for a minute I didn't know ya.

- Just forget I'm Father Anthony,

from now on I'm a salesman,

yeah called Mulligan from Oklahoma, got it?

Mulligan.

- Yeah, too many names for me to remember.

Come on, move ya beauties, hiya!

- Put that case of personal belongings in my bedroom.

(upbeat music)

Howdy.

Give me a large whiskey.

- Hey welcome back Mr. Bridge.

- [Mr. Bridge] Hm.

- Did you hear, my sister had twin boys?

- Congratulations.

- May I have a couple of days off to go and see her?

My cousin will do all my work here.

- Yeah, but be sure you tell Tim.

- Thanks!

- You better get down to the cellar

and organize that stuff they're unloading

off them wagons there.

- Yes sir, I will.

- In eight years it never happened once.

- What?

- It's the first time you've forgotten

to say hello to me after a journey.

- I said hello to ya.

Perhaps you just didn't hear.

- You only said howdy.

- Oh yeah.

You're expectin' to be kissed.

- Not that way.

- You really think I still want to make love

to you after all these years?

I've decided to sell this place and clear out.

You better get in touch with your rich lover,

the man from Louisiana.

- He ain't my pal.

We hardly knew each other.

- Then it's time you knew him better.

- You're leaving me behind are ya?

Are ya?

- Aw, stop it.

You don't think I'm taking you to Mexico?

- You wouldn't go alone.

Then you're goin' with that whore.

- You think you were different when you got to know me?

- You bastard! (hand slapping)

- Your rich friend said he'd buy everything,

including you.

The best thing for you to do is get in touch with him

if you want a roof over your head.

- You're nothing but a dirty coward.

- If you want to stay here,

you better hurry up and send him a wire.

Because next Sunday I'm clearing out of town.

- Hi Frank, welcome back!

- She's just a cheap little tramp!

Ever since Tony ran off and left me I've been loyal to ya.

And you're the only man in my life except Tony.

You were mine until she started chiseling in!

- [Tim] Take it easy Carol.

You'll get over it.

- He's going to Mexico with that bitch leavin' me behind.

The bastard!

- It's all for the best.

I've known you quite a long time.

And I think it's better this way.

With Frank, you wouldn't be happy.

Take my word for it.

- [Carol] What do you mean Tim?

- Frank and the rest of those boys with him.

Keep up a double life.

When he's home, he pretends that he's a respectable person.

In any place they don't know about him,

he's just the opposite.

Yeah.

We all become a gang of vicious outlaws.

Does it surprise you?

- [Carol] Are you serious?

- Never been more serious in my life.

There's no point in me lying to you.

But this last affair?

Mm hm.

There was to much killing for me.

We blew up a mission full of innocent people.

Hm.

For my part, it's something I'm ashamed about.

I'm ashamed of myself.

Poor people.

- Then it's settled, we leave for Mexico.

- It sure is.

We'll be leaving Sunday morning.

Got a fortune there, those cases are full of gold.

Ingots.

Worth $150,000.

- Don't you think it's better to get moving?

What's the point in waiting?

- It would be to dangerous

to transport the gold by ourselves.

I'm waiting for John Darnell and this friend of his,

a big business man who's gonna take the gold

and give us cash for it.

You know what?

I bought a ranch in San Pedro.

Sure it's just made for us two.

- Gee that's great.

Where is this friend of yours?

- Oh, in Anson.

- Where's the buggy?

- Near the hotel, in the stable.

- While they're unloading the wagon drive the buggy around

behind the warehouse, hm.

Are you Fred?

- Yeah.

- Howdy, I'm Mulligan.

Just out of Oklahoma.

You can start unloading that stuff I brought you.

- I wasn't expecting you.

- Ah, Darnell can't get here for a few days.

- I know, he went to see his mother.

- Leave your wagon outside the warehouse door.

Round in front.

- Rick, Burt, there's a wagon to unload.

- Hey you fellas, come on, rise and shine, shake a leg.

You stayin' in bed forever?

Come on, get a move on!

Wake up, hey!

- There's no need to shout like that.

You wakin' the cooties up too.

- Ow, my head feels like somebody been usin' it

for a football.

- Well you might as well get some use out of it.

- You gotta get outta here.

It's time you were movin' on.

'Cause any minute I got other guests due in.

- What time is it?

- Half past nine.

- Hey, but we were supposed to leave at sunup.

- Sure, at sunup yesterday you mean to say.

- Hey hold on a minute.

Did you say yesterday?

- Hm.

You boys been sleepin',

snoring fit the bus the whole day and a whole night.

You got in with a smell

on your breath woulda poisoned a rattlesnake.

You were so drunk you men went

to bed without takin' off your boots.

All right, up you get and clear out of here.

Fast!

- Why don't you mind your manners.

We better hurry Bill, 'cause if Darnell gets there

before we do there'll be hell to pay.

- Yeah.

- That's $8.

- Yeah here keep the change boy.

- Hm.

Hey you two!

You forgot your bag!

You drunken bums!

- You crazy old coot, lucky you got gray hair!

- What you want?

- Our wagon.

- There ain't no wagon in there bud.

- Hey amigo, is that your idea of a joke?

(upbeat music)

- I never joke this early in the morning.

Who'd you want?

- Uh, the boss of this here shed.

Where is he.

- The owner of this here shed is talkin' to ya.

- You?

- Yeah, that's what I said.

- All I can say is you sure have lost some weight.

- Ain't he though.

(both laughing)

- [Bill] Since the last time we say ya.

- Fact is, people with ugly faces

like you boys got put me right off my food.

Now I'll go and fetch the Sheriff.

We'll see how great you look

after a couple of days in prison.

- Where do I put this?

- In the far stall on the left, behind the door.

Wait for me there.

- Yeah, I'll be fine.

- It's all there.

- No trouble I hope?

- No.

- Tell me, do them fellas with the gold live far away?

The gold ingots Darnell wants me to buy off 'em.

- Frank Bridge is at the range and Ramon Arraya is at Waco.

- Pretty far.

- I suppose it is.

- Where would I find 'em?

- Frank in the saloon, Ramon in the bank.

- Oh, could I leave the money that I'll have

to hand over to Darnell?

There's no point in me carryin' it around.

And it could be kind of dangerous.

Huh.

- [Frank] Sure you can leave it here, if it suits ya.

- There's almost 150,000 bucks here,

you better put it in a safe place.

- It'll be perfectly safe.

I'll put it in the same place

where I got them gold ingots hid.

- Right.

At the beginning of next week I should be back here again.

Tell Darnell to be ready.

- The gold's here all right, you just gotta load it.

- Til next week.

- Nice to meet you Mulligan.

- But I didn't know the gold was hidden in this place.

- Sh.

Come on.

- Hey you know, you and me oughta get ahold of that cash

and head out to Arizona.

- Hm.

Hm, there's enough to make us rich for life.

It might be worth is.

- You better make it snappy.

He's openin' the safe now.

- And John?

- He won't lose nothin'.

It still ain't his money yet.

- All right, then we better get movin'.

- We got no time to waste, hurry.

Why don't we take our share of the gold too.

- [Tim] You loco?

John would track us down and shoot us.

- [Bob] We got guns too ain't we?

- [Tim] Stop acting like a fool.

- [Father] You can both stop acting like fools

and get your hands up!

- Who's that!

- [Ringo] Ola, it's me, open up.

- Yeah, but who is it?

- [Ringo] It's Ringo, I'm wounded.

- Help me, I'm nearly done for.

(both groaning) (dramatic music)

- What happened?

Where you been?

Who did this to ya?

- Everything was going just great.

Up til the time we got to the mission.

We were followed by The Three Ace Gang.

They began attacking us.

We defended ourselves easy.

- Hm.

- And they had no way to get in.

So they used dynamite.

They slaughtered everyone.

Men, women.

Children, even babies.

- My God.

Weren't you able to recognize anyone?

- No.

I was stunned by the explosion.

I only know I heard this voice talking.

- [Ramon] Never mind, when I get back to Waco,

I'll put $5,000 in the poor box (laughing).

That will make us for it.

You've got the word of Ramon Arraya.

Ramon Arraya, Ramon Arraya.

- Ramon Arraya.

Didn't name a one of The Three Aces.

Lives in Waco.

Gotta hurry.

Go see Norton.

He knows everyone in Waco.

You've got to get Norton

to tell you where abouts I can find Ramon

and say I'm gonna need a dozen of the toughest men he's got.

Please hurry, you must hurry.

- I'll be off as soon as I'm dressed.

I'll stop at Custer's and tell him to come

and have a look at ya.

- [Ringo] Good, I want to talk to him.

- Just a minute.

I'm ready.

- [Tim] Howdy Carol.

- Hello Tim.

- Just want to say goodbye.

- Come on in and shut the door.

That must mean you decided to go.

- Yep.

And I already told him

we shouldn't have destroyed the mission.

- What did he say about it?

- Hm, it's a sign of old age.

- So you're goin' now.

- This morning with Brenda, Mark and Charlie.

- With Brenda!

- Mm hm.

- Where'd they go?

- He's taking Brenda into Abilene

to put on the noon stagecoach for San Paolo.

He thought she'd better go ahead of him,

begin fixin' up that ranch he just bought her.

He'll be handing over the saloon

to the new proprietor on Sunday, then he'll join her.

- Dirty bastard!

But I've got an idea.

What if we get the gold!

But then handed it all to the Sheriff in Carizzo Springs.

To be used for the reconstruction of the old mission school.

It would help a bit to make up the damage you've done.

- The idea's not bad.

But the trouble would be gettin' the gold out.

As long as all the men who work

for Frank are cleanin' up at the saloon.

- That include Peter?

- Yeah.

- Then, well we won't have any difficulty.

And your brother?

Is he down there?

- Yeah, but let's not mix him in it.

William's a good kid.

- That's why he should help as we intend

to carry that gold back to those it belongs to.

Don't worry about it.

Trust me, huh.

- Understand?

You've got to keep your eyes open.

- Where you off too?

- Tomorrow morning I'll catch up with the stagecoach

on the way to Carrizo Springs

and I'll put the gold in a safe place.

Then I'll meet you at Ranger City.

Leave a message with the preacher

to tell me where you're stayin'.

- Yes sir.

Whatever you say.

- Name.

That's right.

- [Van] Excuse me.

- Yeah what is it?

- [Van] I'd like to speak to Mr. Arraya.

- Who'd I say is callin'?

- [Van] Green, Van Green.

Friend of Bob Norton.

- Help yourself to a chair.

I'll go tell him.

- Ah, you Mr. Green?

- Yep.

- Come on in.

All right.

Well I'll be expecting you.

Give my regards to our friend Norton

and, uh, you can say I'm looking forward to a talk with him.

- I'll tell him.

Thanks again.

- Oh, my glasses.

Oh where are they?

I can't see without them.

- Here they are.

But they're broken.

- Oh just my luck.

How am I going to get home?

- Don't worry, no problem.

I'll come with ya.

Where abouts you live?

- Oh I've got to get back to Ranger.

I don't live here.

- Well it's a pleasure to have your company.

- Oh.

Thank you.

- So happens I've got to go that way myself.

Come on now, let's move. - Mm hm.

- Bud ain't you Lightfinger?

Looks like I ain't the only one

to know about those gold ingots.

- Sh!

What about it.

- If you cut me in, I'll tell you about a place

where there's twice as much gold

as there is in that vault there.

- Sorry, I only do what I'm told.

- Who tells ya.

- I ain't supposed to say.

- Hm.

Would you take me to see him?

- Yeah, if you're here on Monday morning,

or Friday at the Burn's ranch.

- What's happenin' on Monday?

- Don't ask me to many questions amigo.

- [Goliath] See you Friday then.

- Hey Fred!

Fred!

- Well?

- Just got the complete lowdown from Lightfinger.

The job's fixed for Monday morning.

- In the morning huh?

If it was afternoon we'd have more time

to get it all set up.

- I expect you and I could persuade 'em to change the hour.

- And what about everything here?

- Just perfect.

I made a few pals.

The bar boy, his cousin, and the cleaning woman here.

- You've made a good start gathering a few friends.

Hm.

But will we be able to get at the gold?

- We won't be alone.

Tim Robesman, who's been with the Ace of Hearts

for years and his brother William have decided

to go along with the bosses ex-girlfriend

who has a plan to get back the gold.

- Are you quite sure about this?

- Mm hm.

There she is.

She's been dumped for a pretty Mexican gal.

- Who's that?

- That man I've been waitin' for.

He's a big wheel.

He's gonna plan everything with my brother.

We got nothin' to worry about.

- Have you found a room?

- Yeah, right here in the saloon.

Almost comfortable too.

I have to go now.

That appointment's important.

You better speak to that other gent, Tim's brother.

The one I told you about.

I'll meet you later.

- Howdy Mulligan.

I'm William, Tim's brother.

Tomorrow would be the best bet.

You see, they start redecorating.

It'll be a pushover.

- Where has he hidden the gold?

- He's got 'em in his bedroom.

- Oh, I ain't done your room.

(dramatic music)

Tomorrow I'll put clean sheets on.

- Tomorrow I don't think I'll even be here.

- Moving on?

- Mm hm.

- Where you goin'?

- At least as far as Mexico.

Anyway I hope so.

- What do you mean, you hope so.

- I'd explain, only it wouldn't mean anything.

- Oh, and what makes you think I wouldn't understand!

- Oh, sorry honey, you don't have to take on.

It's a little complicated, that's all.

Actually it's much simpler to explain how I feel about you.

What do you say we have a little fun.

- YOu're making a big mistake,

you can marry me if you want that kind of thing.

- [Goliath] Huh!

- I reckon I'll get back Wednesday or Thursday.

But you keep on your toes.

The new proprietor's no fool.

- Don't worry, I will.

Give my regards to your sister.

- [Thug] Where you off to all slicked up like that?

- I'm gettin' the coach.

I'm gonna see my sister.

She gave birth to twin boys.

- [Thug] So we're finally gettin' rid of ya.

- Hey, you back already?

- Missed the coach I reckon.

- [Thug] Then you're gonna stay here with us.

- Who is it?

- Tim.

Well the brawl has started.

- That's great, where have you hidden the gold?

- Under the stairs behind the service door.

- Perfect.

Th minute you put it on the wagon come up here.

- You'll look after Peter?

- No problem, he won't bother us.

I'll see to him.

- All right, come on.

We gotta move.

Every moment counts.

- Hey Frank, look down there.

That's Carol.

And I wouldn't mind betting she's got our gold.

- Why that double dealing son of--

- Hey, she's with Tim!

- He's skippin' out the bastard!

- Yeah, and there's William too.

- Come on boys, after 'em.

- [William] Hey, Frank seen us, he's followin' us.

- What do we do, they'll catch us!

- We'll have to stand and fight, turn left.

We'll wait for 'em at the farm, Mulligan's there.

- Over there.

- Saints preserve us.

- I think he's really hurt.

I'll go look.

- Who's that!

- Listen I have to change that case of gold.

But don't worry.

You're safe in here.

- Look out!

- Carol.

- I knew it was you the minute I saw you.

When you came into the saloon.

Oh.

- Does it hurt?

- Don't worry about it.

It's been over eight years.

But it seems like yesterday.

You ran off, didn't leave me a note.

Wasn't it my fault.

- Don't try to talk now Carol.

- You still think I'm responsible for his death.

I loved him even more than you did.

He was my child.

I never thought, when I went out that afternoon, that he'd.

You blame me, don't you.

- No, that's all in the past now.

But I have to ask your forgiveness.

- Thank you Tony.

- Howdy do.

- [Woman] What do you want.

- Looking for someone name of Lightfinger.

- [Woman] Who would that be?

- He's a man who's made a specialty

of studying locked safes.

- What makes you think he'd be here?

- On account he said he would be.

It was either here today or tomorrow in Waco.

- [Woman] You wait there.

I'll go ask.

- Howdy friend.

- Ah, so it's you.

You didn't lose much time, did ya.

You know, I get the impression that a fella

who acts the way you do must have been born

on an express train.

- An express train?

- The trouble is, you move to quick.

That's a dangerous habit.

- Who are you?

- My name is Goliath, Ringo.

- How come you know what's my name.

- You see I was poor Father Anthony's sextant down

at Saint Francis Mission.

That's where I saw you.

- You say you were.

- Poor man's dead.

The fellas drowned him in the well.

It was Ramon.

He's a man without mercy.

- And you, how'd you get free?

- I was outside when you and your boys began attackin'.

I was doin' a little diggin' in the fields.

- And the priest?

Where was he?

- In town, for a visit.

But before The Three Aces arrived with their men,

I managed to find a place

to hide in the ruins of the old mission.

- [Ringo] Did you know the gold was there?

- No.

Nobody had any idea.

- But you know he used to be a gunman, this priest of yours.

- Yeah.

- What made the fella turn preacher?

- His baby son got drowned in old well.

It was just an accident.

Only the boy's death was a terrible shock.

And one day soon after he disappeared.

And nobody even knew where to look for him.

- Then why don't you say where this gold is?

- Those ingots that Ramon Arraya has got tucked away

in the Waco bank, they're no more than a third part

of the gold buried in the mission school.

- Are you sure?

- Mister, I hope you're not lyin'.

That will be the last time you do.

- One of the three bosses didn't trust Arraya,

so they decided the only answer was

to split up the money three ways.

And that way each one could look after his own.

- And do you know where they've all hidden their gold?

- Perhaps I don't know where it's hid.

No.

But I do know something.

I know the two fellas who gotta look after it.

- Ah you do.

Who are they?

- Oh no, I only sell my information amigo.

- How much do you want?

- A third would be nice.

That's fair ain't it?

- Come on inside.

If you're gonna talk business,

you should drink something first.

- That's not a bad idea.

- [Goliath] I never drink at this hour.

Thanks anyhow.

- It's a bargain.

Three way split.

But not including the gold in Waco.

- Oh no, the whole lot or nothin'.

- But why?

You got nothin' to do with the gold in the bank.

- And you got nothin' to do with the other fellas gold.

I can give you a hand at Waco.

What time do you plan to do the job?

- On Monday about noon.

- That's not a very good idea.

It's to early.

- There having a corn roast at the Maloney Ranch

and the whole town's gonna be over there.

- Not at 12 o'clock.

Besides the bank will have a few

of Arraya's men guarding it.

But they ain't gonna bother ya, if you let me handle things.

You just take care of their men on the inside.

Easy as pickin' your teeth.

- When though.

- [Goliath] Well, give me til six.

- Good enough, we'll get there by six.

- Sorry, we're not open.

- [Ringo] Oh yes you are.

You're open for us.

- Well you can't see Senor Arraya.

He's gone away.

He went out of town.

- [Ringo] I know.

Can you open it Lightfinger?

- In about 30 seconds you'll find it wide open.

- Just don't keep me waiting.

Put one man out front, two on the back door.

- Already did.

- I've got it.

- Oh God, I'm blind.

I'll never see.

Never anymore.

- Ringo, you're so stupid.

You were lucky to escape

with your life the day we blew up

that damn mission weren't you.

And you should have steered clear of this place.

- [Ringo] I can't see anymore!

My eyes!

My eyes!

- No need to be upset.

If you like I'll give you two new ones.

- Everything all right Ramon?

- Of course it is Domingo.

Were you afraid it wouldn't work out?

- Who's that?

- Let's look.

Come on.

- [Bob] Ramon, Ramon!

Ramon!

- Howdy friends.

- They've run off with our gold.

- Well that's kind of hard on ya.

I guess.

If you'd have left it here it would be safe and sound.

Shift that sofa.

Nobody plays fast and loose with Arraya.

As you see I taught a little lesson to both of them.

My gold!

They stole it!

- It sure couldn't have been Lightfinger.

- I could have been the same man who took our gold.

- Bastard you!

Where the hell are you hiding!

- This is where you aim to bring us.

All right then.

Why don't you show yourself.

- Here I am.

Don't move.

And drop your guns without turning 'round.

- Take it easy Father, don't get any fancy ideas.

- You were gonna hang us in front of the mission weren't ya.

- Sure he was.

He was gonna have a real celebration.

But we're to important to execute without a military band.

- We'll celebrate anyhow.

Don't worry Father.

And the place of honor over the well,

it's you we want.

- Get your hands up, all of you!

Don't anyone move.

Don't play any tricks 'cause we got you surrounded.

- [Sheriff] Don't shoot Father.

They're under arrest.

They're entitled to a fair trial.

- My son, you must leave this in the hands of the Lord.

- I absolve thee of thy sins.

In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost.

I absolve thee of thy sins in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

I absolve thee in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

The Lord forgive them.

For they knew not what they were doing.

- [Bishop] Stay here with us.

We're gonna rebuild the mission

so you can start all over again.

- No.

I'd prefer to go away.

I'm going to carry on my work with the Indians.

- Hey!

Hey!

Wait a minute!

You got room for a first class cook?

- [Goliath] Climb on.

Hiya.
