Cullen Baker's Mule

- Son, are you hurt? - No.

Run son, run away

No dad, I'll stay here to defend you

Run while you're still alive, and may God be with you, but run, now!

Run Cullen, Run!

Goddammit!

Leave me alone!

Stop hitting me!

Stop it Baker! Stop it!

Enough!

Cullen Baker, stand up.

Unfortunately this is about a street fight

And luckily you can prove that you were attacked in the first place.

But let me tell you something Cullen Baker

You're nothing but a homeless bum looking for trouble

Now, get out of town!

And if you're still here by tomorrow,

I'm gonna have you whipped in the middle of the street, like a dog.

Then, I'll put you in jail, now get out of here!.

This trial is over.

We'll meet again, soon.

Drop your gun.

How does that feel?

Don't be afraid Anderson.

I'm not going to kill you

I'm just going to cripple you.

So you can't stick your nose in other people's business

Bertha! Bertha!

Tom!

Go get a doctor

Give me that strap.

Turn him over

Go get something, bandages, anything!

What are you waiting for, go get me a bottle of whiskey.

It was... Cullen Baker.

Calm down, Calm down.

A moment please, calm down.

Calm down please.

This lady was present when Tom died.

And she claims that, before dying, Tom said it was Cullen Baker who shot him

And she's willing to testify

What are you going to do about it? This can not go unpunished.

Answer me! Are you afraid?

If neither of you have the courage to go after him, I will.

Calm down lady, justice will be done.

We won't come back until we find him

It will cost you a dollar to cross the river

I don't have any money...

Then you won't cross the river from here

I think I will anyway...

Stop!

The mule trail heads to the river, lets go!

Lets go, he must have crossed the river

Stop right there, don't move!

I come in peace

I would like some food and a cup of coffee

That mule he has could help us carry the furs to town

You think he will give us his mule?

He has to, if he wants to eat and stay alive.

- So, what are you going to do? - You'll see...

Come closer my friend

Get off your horse!

We were attacked, they stole our horses...

And what are you gonna do with him?

The same as with you, if you don't sell us your mule!

What about me?

That's not of our business

What do you say?

OK then, how much will you give for my mule?

Some food, and a cup of coffee

Are you sure that's not too much?

You're not in the position to make jokes my friend

Eat and leave

- Let me get my saddlebags - Don't move!

You go get them

- What are you doing? - I'm getting a piece of meat

I bet $50

I'm all in

You're cheating!

Does it hurts?

What happened?

You got knocked out with a revolver handle

A revolver? what do you mean?

Yeah with a revolver handle

A revolver like this one

I have never seen one of those

Yeah, they're new

It's a six shooter Colt Dragon specially made for the Army

We're being trained to use them

Do you feel all right?

Where can I get one of this?

You can't, as far as I know

I'll give you $10 and my two barrel shotgun for your pistol.

These guns are Army's property,

The few ones that were made, are for us Officers to test

I'll see you later my friend.

I don't like to be followed, Raise your hands!

I didn't wanted to harm you that wasn't my intention.

What do you want then?

I'll give you 10 dollars, if you let me see you firing that gun

Don't make any sudden move until you hear what I'm going to tell you

This gun has 6 bullets

I'm going to fire 2 of them to please you but I'll still have 4 more for you.

- Understood? - Perfectly.

Leave your shotgun there and get off your mule

Take off your knife with your left hand and put it in the ground over there

Over there...

Right there.

Now get over here and watch

Can it be fired faster?

No!, now get out of here and don't you ever spy on me again

Don't forget its easier to shoot a man than a knife

Leave my 10 dollars there

Wait...

I'll give a drink to the man that shows me the way to Fort Thompson

- Keep going that way. - You earned it my friend

This one has a shotgun wound in his back, just like the other one

- I think I know who did this - Who?

Do you remember that guy you knocked out with your revolver?

Yes, I remember him

If he was the one that did it, I should be the dead one

What did they had to do with him?

You, me, everyone who has a colt dragon

He was obsessed with it, Did you find the officer's revolver?

No, their holsters are empty

This is a robbery, hands up!

Put your hands in the air and don't move!

Stop, I told you to stay still

Toss me your guns

Come and get them!

Don't be a fool, do as I say, I can blow your head off at 30 steps

Then do it!

That guy is crazy, the sheriff has a shotgun.

For the last time, drop your guns and surrender

Stop right there!

Give me a shot of whiskey

Hello, will you buy me a drink?

Another one for the lady.

Cheers.

Everybody freeze. Don't touch your guns!

Put your guns at the center of the room with one hand, hurry up!

You girl, take all of their money and put it in this bag

Play along if you want to keep breathing

Stop him, stop him, he robbed the bank!

Stop him, Stop...

How can I help you?

What can I do for you?

No... I mean yes...

I'm interested in buying a ranch

A ranch?.. I'm Henry, John Henry

I am the manager of this bank What is your name Sir?

My name is Cull... Foster.

Oh Mister Foster, please follow me

Mr Foster, this way please.

Take a seat

So you are a cattle baron, I heard you wanted to buy a ranch, is that right?

That's right

Well, we have exactly what you're looking for

A ranch with a good house, water, and even some Cattle

And how much are they asking for it?

Bah, they're not in the position to ask anything

- What do you mean? - The ranch is mortgaged

The widow mortgaged her ranch for $3000. Payments weren't made

And the bank foreclosed on the Ranch, taking over ownership

- For how much? - The same amount she owes the bank

- And how much will the widow get? - Not a penny

You give me $6000, and the Ranch is yours

- How much is that ranch worth? - Close to $20,000

Well, that's just a Robbery

Taking a poor widow's ranch for just $3000 dollars?

- Are you calling me a thief? - Think whatever you want!

This is a lawful robbery, and I don't like to be an accomplice of the law

here's your $3000, plus interest

Now give that widow her ranch back!

Good afternoon Mr Foster.

Good afternoon, oh, you're miss...

Jane, Jane Paterson.

I found it strange that you greeted me, as I don't know anybody in town

Well, now you know me, and I'm glad I found you, because..

I want to congratulate you for what you did in the bank earlier

What really matters is that I just made a fried.

Being lonely is really sad

My father would like to meet you, especially after what you did today

So, Mr. Miller, are you a Cattle Baron too?

Bill is the town's school teacher

So, a school teacher huh?

Yes, its an unprofitable profession, but full of satisfaction.

Bill is very ambitious, he plans on buying a ranch some day, right Bill?

Well, someday..

And everybody has a desire to improve, won't you agree Mr Foster?

Of course, that's a noble desire, and you can count on me if I can be helpful

Thank you so much Mr Foster..

I meant it, I'm planning on moving here and buying a ranch

And I'll need an administrator, someone honest, and ambitious.

Who better than you?

- I don't know how to run a ranch - You'll learn

By the way, in the time I had been here I haven't seen the school, where is it?

It's on the outskirts of town, as far away of saloons and brothels as possible

Those kind of places aren't good for kids

You're right...

Childhood is too precious, and we have to protect it

Not everyone had the luck of enjoy his childhood

I wish some day we'll get ride of those kind of places

If there's anything we could do to help you can count on us

Well, It's getting late, thank you so much for the meal, and your company

You'll always be welcome in this house Mr Foster.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you

Pleased to meet you, I hope some day you'll invite me to your school

Any day you want, I'm at your orders

Howdy

My name is Henry Foster...

Remember that if you want to keep breathing...

Have a sea and don't ask any questions

Bring another shot of whiskey!

Understood, I don't want an explanation

I want you to help me.

Did you leave the army?

You could say that

A deserter uh?

I got into a fight with another soldier

He got the worst part and I had to run

Did you kill him?

In the middle of the struggle a gunshot went off

I might be able to help you

No strings attached...

I'll pay you well if I ever need your services

Keep that, you might need it.

Thank you... Mr Foster.

Remember, an accusation could cost you your life

Thank you...

I received your message, that it was urgent to meet you

What is this about Mr Foster?

Did that widow get her mortgage papers back?

Yes, she got them the next day

She was so happy

And even when I told her it was a courtesy of Mr Henry, she didn't believe me

But I kept the secret as you asked me to

You're too quiet... is something troubling you?

I don't think you called me just to ask me that.

- You're right - Why did you called me then?

Look Jane, I'm a roughly uneducated man and I like to go directly to the point...

And I'm glad you are like that because then I can ask you a favor

- What ever you want Jane - Please be Bill's best man

- Best man? - In our wedding.

We haven't had the time to tell you. Bill and I, we're gonna get married

So, Will you be Bill's best man?

Yes, And make it a double!

- I'm glad I found you Darkly! - What's wrong?

About an our ago, I saw a couple of strangers walking around the bank

I didn't give it much importance then, but a few minutes ago, I saw them

leaving the bank from the back door carrying some bags with them

The sheriff wasn't at his office, and then I came here for a drink

The sheriff is at the Dam, go get him. in the meantime I'll look for...

Look, those are the guys.

Step aside Sr.

I like being in the front row

A bottle of whiskey and two glasses.

Raise your hands!

There's only one man who can shoot the way you just did!

And that man is Cullen Baker.

Let me see your guns

You're right, I am Cullen Baker

What happened here?

Your deputy acted like a real man

After those two killed the bartender

He faced them, and died like a hero

Take Darkly

That's him.

Give him a good look.

This afternoon, him, his girlfriend and I..

we'll be riding through that bend

I will be leading them, so you can aim at him and don't miss.

I'll Pay you 3,000 dollars. Understood?

Understood.

Mr Foster.. Sheriff! Mr Foster is alive, help me!

Take him to the doctor immediately

Does anyone know who is he?

No I don't, he must be a thief

When we heard the gunshots, and saw Mr foster wounded, we got scared

And went to tell you.

You did the right thing, look.

He probably was Cullen baker.

The bloodiest killer of this region

And Mr foster here has earned the reward

Still, I'm going to notify Fort Townsend So they come to identify the body.

This isn't that bad, just a flesh wound in the shoulder

And the head wound just made him lose some blood, that's why he passed out

The pills I gave him will make him sleep for a while and he'll feel better

In a couple of hours you can take him to his hotel room

- What if he gets worse? - I doubt it

In that case you let me know. Now, let him rest.

- Sheriff Manings. - Yes lieutenant?

- You came to identify the body? - That's right Sheriff.

I found this in the deceased's clothes

This Cullen Baker has been a tough one

The one who killed him won the reward of 5,000 dollars.

- Where is the body? - This way, follow me

Here it is

That man is not Cullen Baker

Who is he then?

His name was Jim Conner, US Army Sergeant working undercover.

His mission was to catch Cullen, because he knew him very well

- Who killed him? - An outsider, his name is..

Henry Foster

He wants to stay here, and has been trying to buy a Ranch

Could you describe him to me?

Not really, but what I have heard, hes a rich and generous man.

That's fine, then he wouldn't mind losing the reward money

- Where is he staying? - He's wounded, he's at the hotel.

- In the only hotel in town - Lets go see him

Do you have any idea who you killed?

Who?

The bloodiest killer of the west

- Go figure, what was his name? - Cullen Baker.

Did you know him?

A lot... I mean.. a mutual friend told me his story...

When Cullen Baker was 8 years old..

His father found a gold mine

And when they where crossing the desert,

They where attacked by some men, who killed his father,

Because he wouldn't give them the mine's location.

The kid tried to escape...

But the killers caught him

Believing that the kid could show them the mine's location...

They tortured him.

Who is the bloodiest?

The one who hurts and tortures a kid and then left him alone in the desert

To be the prey of vultures and coyotes?

Or Cullen Baker, who was born good like all children

With all the hopes and illusions of a human being

and which were torn down by those men who are after him.

I'm sorry my story saddens you

But Cullen Baker wouldn't like anyone's pity

He made his own hell and, he'll burn in it

Would you excuse me for a minute Sir?

Of course.

Whats wrong, miss?

That story you told me, made me sad.

It happens every time I tell that story

No one pities Cullen Baker...

good thing he doesn't give a damn

He doesn't give a shit what people think of him

Come closer Jane

I have the impression that you are afraid of me

No, I'm not afraid of you Sir

Come in

Mr Foster, The Sheriff and a soldier want to see you

Let them in

Come in

Nice to see you again... Cullen Baker!

He's taking her with him..

Stop!

We'll go together until we get to Tres Cruces, then we split.

And you, Lieutenant Johanson, Take four men with you

And go to Roca Hundida Canyon

And you Sergeant Carlson, take another four men

And will head to "La Herradura" where you will camp

And you Mr Paterson, along with Mr Miller

Will head to the west, to Cougar Mountain

I'll be in the middle of you, that way, he'll be surrounded by us

Just remember to hold your fire if the girl is with him, that's an order!

It's getting darker, they could see our fire.

We'll be safer this way

I'm gonna go find some food and a fresh horse

in the meantime I'll look around

If you promise to behave and stay still I won't tie you up

Remember, Stay still, I'll be back soon

Get up!

I told you to behave

Get up I say

To the horses! That's coming from La Herradura, where's my horse?

Over there! Lets go!

- They are all dead - What about the horses?

- They're missing Sir. - What about the guns?

The guns are missing too Sir.

Where were you?

What?...

You are under arrest, you will be shot for doing this!

Yes Sir.

He mustn't be far away, surround the area

And keep a distance of 20 steps from each other, go!

Halt!

He got away, I must admit, he's a very clever man

- May i suggest something Captain? - Sure, go ahead

Why cant we split up and each of us search on his own?

We are 18 men and we could cover a bigger area on our own

No, Cullen Baker is a very dangerous man you saw what he did with Carlson's men

If we stick together he wont attack us.

- I'll go alone then - Don't do it Miller

- Don't make me arrest you - But we have failed Captain

Not yet, we're gonna try to get him again

If we fail this time, you can do what ever you want

And what would you want us to do Captain?

You, Miller and myself, along with four soldiers will head to the west

- Lieutenant - Yes Sir.

Pick four men to come with us

You and the rest of the men will go the other way

- And we'll meet behind Wayaki's hill - OK Sir.

Neil, Patton, Parson and Clayton follow the Captain

The rest of you, follow me!

Halt!

Good morning!

Good morning Sir.

How long have you been on this road?

For more than 3 hours, since sunrise

Have you seen anybody on the road on horseback or walking?

- No Sir, we haven't - Are you sure?

- Yeah we're sure - Have a good trip

Lets go

Ja ja ja ja ja! (^^ Mexican for hahahahaha)

You did a great job!

Now, if you want to keep breathing...

Take the first shortcut you find.

Captain...

- Did you see that woman's face? - What about it?

She didn't even look at us

When have you seen a pioneer's wife look at another man?

I know Captain, what I meant is, that woman was afraid of something

I have a hunch and would like to talk to them again.

You heard them, they'd been on the road for 3 hours and haven't seen anyone

I beg you not to stop me Captain

Ok then, go and ask them again.

Just be careful

We'll keep the same speed for you to catch up with us, good luck

Thank you.

What happened to you?

A guy just robbed us.

He was pointing a gun to us and we were afraid he might shoot us.

When he realized the shortcut was closed he hit us in the head with his gun.

Do you think he's right about that hunch?

He might be. Parson!

At your orders my captain.

Go find Lieutenant Johanson and his men they must be near Wayaki's Hill

Tell them to meet us 2 or 3 miles from here

Now you can scream all you want.

Nobody will hear you

Lets go, follow me!

We're camping here

They wouldn't dare to attack me while you're with me

We'll leave at night.

Here they come

they're gonna drop like flies

Don't come up, Baker is waiting for you

He's shooting at us with the colt dragons

Those guns only have 218 yards range.

Hold your fire!

Stop, what are you doing?

She's my daughter, I'm going to get her

Calm down Mr Patterson.

We don't know what he wants

Cullen!

Cullen Baker! Can you hear me?

What do you want?

Just let me escape, and I'll give back the girl

I can't do that

If you release the girl, I promise to respect your life

You're surrounded, throw down your guns!

- OK then, on one condition - Which one?

You and those 3 other soldiers must come here to get her, unarmed!

This sounds like a trap Paterson but I have to risk it

You stay away from the line of fire

And try to slowly get near to us to cover us.

- What do you say Captain? - I accept, we're gonna get her

You just heard Cullen's demand, I can't force you to come with me

That man is a murderer

I need volunteers

- I'll follow you my Captain - Me too

Thank you, leave your weapons

If something happens to us, don't take any risk

And wait for Lieutenant Johanson and his men

I'll do that Captain.

They're coming

Soon you'll be free

Freeze Cullen!

Drop your gun!

The End
