WHEN THE DRUMS WILL STOP

1880. The tam-tams of Mescaleros spread the message of Chief Victorio

beyond the arid mountains from the south west.

Whites from North and Mexico

split in two the land that feeds us.

We can not go south for the agave

nor to the north for pine.

Hunger is eating away at us.

Our warriors will not be able to fight anymore.

So, the White will drive us out of the land

and only the empty sky will hear the voice of Mescaleros.

A hungry people revolts and attacks the communities

whose inhabitants trade in peace or operate the silver mines.

Spanish-Boot is one of them.

Water! Fresh water!

Hello, Mr. Kitten!

Do you want water?

You want milk!

Come, you little boy.

I was in self-defense.

Yes, the Mayor. They surprised him.

We would say it ...

Despite that, Sam,

you will leave Spanish-Boot.

I appeal to the citizens.

You are a talker, Sam, but you win too often.

Is it a crime?

Do not argue: you will leave here.

Me, I'm equal.

Too trictive for me, Spanish-Boot!

But you will be well alone, Joe.

No one will regret you.

Maybe, but ... you will be alone!

Are you talking about Sally?

I say you will be alone.

You will be gone for lunch.

Hello, R v rend.

You started the day by a nice action, Joe.

- A moment! - I have stuff to do.

You are Mayor as much as blacksmith.

You are funny, the Welsh. I'm expelling a bad subject ...

It's a beginning. Do you want a good city?

It is necessary to destroy all rotten branches.

You are probably right.

This village of workers can do without a dance hall.

We will use the money better for the school and the new road.

Call the woman who laughs,

whose feet go down to death.

I'm saying you mean Ms. Careless?

I understood:

the mine is prosperous, there is no Redskins,

the city is enriched. We must purify!

Gentlemen, I'm ahead of you:

make me a nice offer and I take my daughters away.

Woman, you are called Babylon and Abomination!

No insults!

But an offer for the fund.

I do not sell at a loss!

This would make an excellent deli.

Some showcases, a door bigger, and a counter ...

- I thought about it. - Once decided ...

... tell me and we leave.

Para t that you leave, Sat-String!

My name is Leeds.

My friends call me that.

I thought you were my friend.

But ... yes, Leeds!

Hello, Sam-String!

My friends call me Leeds.

I am not your friend

- What will you eat? - You know it.

Sally, can I wait for lunch.

I ... leave Spanish-Boot.

I heard him say.

There are other cities. Fun or not.

Looking-in a fun ... together!

We had a great time, Sally.

We had a lot of fun.

You know how I feel.

You are the most charming Comrade I've ever had.

But I want more.

R v rend Griffin can to unite before we leave.

It would not change anything, Sam.

I think of roses ...

What other man would have done 300 km

to bring me roses for my party?

It's a beautiful thing!

But who did you take the money?

In Roy Warren, at the game ...

It was regular.

Roy did not think so.

And now, he's dead.

He shot first. No relation with us.

But if! We are chasing you from here. We will chase you elsewhere.

I do not want that.

There are some who build by sweating.

I am one of those who take.

You could be honest.

My father worked like a slave.

He died young and poor.

He was honest. I do not want to be.

I'm enough to tell you, and ask you to follow me.

You will leave without me, Sam.

I'm a woman: I want a home,

my place in the city and an honest husband.

It's dull and sinister like Joe Madden.

I do not mean Joe, nor another!

But what I feel.

Understand this!

I understand A lot of things.

Joe Madden has reasons

that I did not know to hunt me.

I will stay ...

It's the healthiest little donkey I have never seen.

He runs too much, always jumps ... He must be nervous?

It's the evil of youth! A few years will heal him.

Is it noon, Chacho?

The sun is at zenith.

Noon has passed.

I changed my mind.

I'm staying at Spanish-Boot.

We did not give you the choice.

You have nothing against me.

My decision is probably not legal, but definitive.

That would leave you the free field with Sally.

It's a hypocritical bigot decision!

I told you to leave.

Do not move!

Stand up, and go!

This has nothing to do with me or Sally.

You go, like Betty and her daughters,

because you are too much here.

Give me my weapon.

The road is safe.

Much safer for you that the city!

Hurry up. You will catch these ladies.

They will hold you company!

Sir ... Sam!

They scalp me.

Apaches ... Mescaleros ...

They are on the border.

Very many ...

Hundred ... maybe two hundred.

Get out of the rocks like ghosts.

They are cruel.

Their heart is bad.

They did not scream ... or scream.

You ... will warn the city, Mr. Sam?

It is necessary to go there!

Yes I am going.

The Mescaleros are on the border!

They killed Betty and the little ones!

They will come here!

I just missed them!

Come outside!

The Mescaleros are on the path of war!

Prepare to!

Pedro-Peter comes from Fort Cook.

Where are the Mescaleros?

2 days ago, the army rejected them

on the other side of the border!

Voila, Sam! Not enough lndians to kill a sheep!

Did you see Indians?

With your eyes?

Yes. Why should I lie to you?

I do not know. But you we will not have like that!

Sally, tell them that I never lie!

Tell them!

I do not lie!

They killed you Betty and her daughters!

It took a lot of lndians to make you go home.

But you will leave!

I will not leave!

We will make you a piece of driving.

Let him be hunted!

Help me!

An Apache arrow!

You were right.

- When it's over ... - You will leave!

We should send a messenger at the Fort.

The Mayor says that this not worth the risk.

Let's risk a man rather than the city!

You all like send messages.

Who wants to go for this walk?

I want to.

You are very young.

- But good rider. - What do you know?

I am his father!

And the Redskins?

No Indian horse can not catch up with mine!

No hurry...

Sat...

I regret what happened passed in front of the church.

But I could not say anything.

Without a doubt.

Deep inside me, I believe in you.

But I could not tell them that you do not lie.

What is the is not proof.

Its good.

I'm trying to explain ...

Its good. You regret.

- Try to understand. - Yes I understand.

You would like me honest like Joe.

I would like you honestly like Sam Leeds.

Whoever comes to save the city that chased him!

No need to talk about it again!

We are here.

Go away! I have to close.

Where is he going?

At the Fort.

Russira he?

Maybe ... Maybe not ...

You should talk to the Mayor.

What about?

Lt Glidden told me to wait for him. He will be here tomorrow.

Why send the small?

I do not need to talk to the Mayor.

You are a white man.

He is white that other whites do not believe.

What little were you talking about?

From Bert K on.

Pedro thinks he will be killed?

He fears him.

And you do not want to talk to Joe?

Why would he believe me?

You did not defend me!

Good luck, Bert!

You wanted tell him something?

No nothing.

He is alive. He will succeed.

- May I escort you? - Of course.

I am sorry that Sam has come back.

I hoped that in the distance, he would regret me.

I would really regret it! And that he would be amending himself.

It can happen, Sally.

I thought he already changed.

But no... It's always "Sam".

And I always feel the same thing for him.

What to do, Joe?

I do not know. I esprais that he would remain absent.

Too bad I like to reform the bad boys ...

Should not he be home?

Ms. K on, your son has a good horse

and he is clever.

Yes, too smart to be take by the Indians.

What is going on?

Take the Se ora K on!

Madam K on!

No one will want to drink this water.

The Mescaleros have thrown the boy in the well.

Maybe a will do good for trees.

Maybe ...

You are thirsty?

It's forbidden by the law of the Apaches!

Not touch things that dead have touched.

Come, I'll give you a mug.

The white law defends him.

No whiskey for the Indians.

But since you do not want anymore drink water! Come on ...

Two mugs, Sally.

The law defends to serve an Indian.

It's me you serve!

Take a seat!

Take. I just drink.

Who would have water?

We are looking for for kids and women.

I still have some yesterday in the kitchen.

- Thank you Madam. - Come, Mr. K on.

We would have to find water.

We have already spoken about it.

The Mayor has decided to wait for the patrol.

He could have decide it last night!

The decision to send Bert K on was taken by everyone.

Not by Joe Madden.

Now, we decide to wait.

If there are 10 men, I take them for water.

I have a cart. I accompany you.

- I did it! - You do not have the right!

I do not want that children are thirsty!

- I'm in! - It's two. Who else?

A real meeting! Prepare your cart.

You take them to death!

They are volunteers. Let's go!

Joe Madden will have his say!

- What are you going to do? - Look for water.

- For women and children? - Exact.

Bert K on, too, Was almost a child.

- It was different. - I would like to believe it!

But it's a good opportunity for Sam Leeds to humiliate the Mayor

who chased him from here, and did not want to believe it yesterday!

You know me well, Sally!

It is necessary to go to Canyon to find water.

And they will massacre you there!

It's for women and the kids.

If you ask them,

they like to have better their husbands and their fathers

only improbable water!

I told them. They are decided.

That's right, guys?

Yes, of course.

I do not have a choice.

If they want to be killed, you can not do anything.

You do not go to get your hands dirty

Take at least one rifle.

Thank you!

Sat! Guess who's here!

What are you doing here?

If needed...

- You were against it. - Yes.

Return before the Indians do not attack you.

We are already two-thirds of the way.

You will help us to fill the barrels.

Drink a good shot. And barrels!

I do not see Redskins!

They are like the Devil.

They know you here.

But they look elsewhere!

Fill the barrels!

Have the eye, for the Indians!

Indians! Indians!

We are really happy to see you!

- Problems? - The Apaches are moving.

Our messenger was killed.

Happy to have lost that he!

Victorio is on the border with 200 warriors.

Colonel Haven is on his trail.

Some of the nuns went to fetch water.

- Is it safe? - I do not know.

I learned not to underestimate the Apaches.

They move like lightning,

find water everywhere, eat anything.

They are everywhere. Where are your men?

- At the Canyon. - At the Canyon?

We will escort them.

I accompany you.

According to you, God sends the Apaches

to prove the honest man.

So, I do not fear anything!

Do you love something else What of your dishonesty!

I can boast to be fetching water

when the Mayor feared to leave the city!

That's it, boast!

That is sure your only reason to be here!

The Apaches!

Whip me those horses!

Continue!

More than 3 balls. And you?

Do not pull!

If we have to die, first aim the Chef.

- In red shirt? - Yes.

You must have prayed!

I have rarely dealt with Indians.

But who would imagine that they are afraid of 2 men?

I hurt the Chief.

Everything is wanted by God.

Maybe.

You seem tired.

Let us rest.

When I was in Wales,

I would never have dreamed of finding myself in the American desert,

next to a player ...

With the cries of the Indians in the ears!

Find me at the side a preacher ...

I would never have believed it.

Thank you for staying with me.

I would never have arrived alone.

I did it for others.

Reverend ...

It is easy to throw stones has a poor dog.

Yes, I play.

And I drink.

I killed a man who was attacking me.

This country is tough. We must defend ourselves.

You do not work.

You do not care others.

Your life is an offense,

even to Sally who loves you.

I could tell you my way of thinking,

but it's useless ... Come on!

More Mescaleros!

They may be the same.

They play cat and have the mouse with us!

No weapons, no protection.

Nothing that is worth it a last look!

Do not deny the earth of God at the hour of death.

You will pray?

I have spoken to him all my life.

It's my fault.

I do not blame you.

You were right.

About what?

I never cared about water.

I wanted to prove what a clever thing I was.

Prove it to Sally and humiliate Joe.

If I could tell him how wrong I was ...

on many things!

She will know it.

The best assets fall when we do not need it anymore!

Soldiers!

Yes ... soldiers!

Slowly!

I'm surprised to see you with your scalp!

The Apaches say: "Beware of him who runs away."

Does that mean?

It appears that you are stay behind

to keep the Indians.

They were around thirty.

- And you are here! - Sam killed the Chef.

A big one in a red shirt?

Barely.

Your city is saved.

This boy killed Victorio.

The Apaches will not attack anymore.

They will cry.

Victorio is their prophet, their priest and their leader.

If you were mine, I would love you.

He is mine, and he made a real feat

leaving the others to get ahead.

Nothing special, Joe.

Lieutenant, please stop this man.

But why?

To have risked life of 10 men.

I can not.

The Arm e does not care only military.

You have to stop that man.

I'm accusing Sam Leeds

to have an Indian drink. - Nothing but a mug!

He was thirsty and the water was polluted.

The law does not suffer exception?

I fear it.

I know there is rivalry between you, Joe.

But I ask you to think.

I'm sorry, R v rend.

We will have less luck the next time.

We fought together,

seen death together. There is good in him.

He could help the city that you like so much.

Thank you, R v rend. But I deserve it.

Provide alcohol to an Indian is punished by 20 years.

- Are you sure... - Yes!

So...

Mr. Leeds, against the heart, I stop you.

Lt Glidden takes you in 1 hour.

I'm coming to say goodbye.

I offer you a last drink!

What are they doing?

They bury Betty and the little ones.

Bert K on is entitled to honors, dead as a soldier.

I will be away for a long time, Sally.

There, in the desert, I saw clearly.

Too late!

I cheated all my life

and when I want go right, stop me!

It will not be so long.

Will you believe me, Sally, if I tell you that I will try ...

It's very important to me.

I will know that you will wait for me.

At my command, arms!

Prts!

Aim!

Pull!

Run away!

- I'm staying! - You're welcome!

What good is it to kill you?

- Leave, for me! - I will not leave you.

The rifle! Wedge it here.

Come!

Run!

And that?

You are a prisoner.

But you need of all men!

We are saved.

The walls are thin, the oak doors.

Bring him here!

The key is in my pocket.

It will be hard to defend here.

The dormers are too high.

You can not shoot but they can go up.

Too many openings, and we are few.

No food ... no water.

Neither dressings.

The warriors Mescaleros ...

will come through these windows.

What time is it?

Both needles point to the west.

8:45 am

Give your belts.

Very American, to wear 2 belts.

For panties, and for the weapon.

Given... you do not wear panties!

Roy, go up and check.

It's solid!

Be careful!

I am not a carpenter but I can make myself useful.

Look!

There are Indians because you hide parts.

Look carefully!

Where are they?

You hide one!

Where is the other?

You have it.

The singer's turn!

But I'm not a singer!

Neither me conjurer! Sing anything.

Have you seen ...

Orange and chilli, Said the Bell of ...

Holy Clemente

You owe me five loaves, Said the Bell of St. Martin

When will you pay? Said Bailey's Bell

No sit't, Said the Bow Bell

Bob! You did not prevent, for Apache!

I have not seen it. The child was hiding it.

I will replace Bob. He is tired.

The best dog bites his master to protect another dog!

He is Apache ...

It belongs to the government. You are a soldier, I entrust them to you.

You will regret it!

They start.

Music to dance?

The horrible music of the pa ; i ; ens.

They organize a ball?

Rest a little.

Some water?

More a drop.

I am not thirsty. But this music ...

Yes. I understand you.

The music of the drinkers.

For special alcohol which makes them brave.

I was told.

You will see tomorrow:

Victorio is not dead.

When the music changes,

watch the skylights.

They do not drink to lift oneself, but to pray.

Then, they kill!

He speaks to me about the Indians.

I know their accursed faith!

"A thousand specters will rise to replace those who die. "

This is just a pretext to kill!

No! The Apaches are a race that goes out.

Their wives are stupid. They have no son.

And Victorio gives them hope!

They believe that if they die in battle,

they will have a thousand sons.

Warriors to fight us!

Ghost warriors!

Young Apaches ...

drink not to smell

pain or death.

They will come to kill you

and die!

I'm suggesting Joe Madden.

The Lieutenant says that it is a religious rite.

They will be killed ...

to engender new warriors.

I was told.

You have to follow their music.

When she changes, they will jump through the skylights.

I will tell them. Take my place.

But I do not want to that you take mine!

- Let's forget that. - For the time being!

Does the friend speak with the language fork of the liar,

his words are they ashes that the wind carries away?

I have pledged oath on the white man's book.

I fight for the white man.

What is an oath for them?

Much more than for many whites.

Ms. K on ...

What does this music mean, Sam?

The night will be terrible.

It will hold children Away from the windows.

Be careful, Sally.

I do not want may it happen to you ...

... neither to me!

Bravery!

That's it!

Do not pull!

We can not see anything!

Let's keep the little ones in the dark.

But you have to enlighten to the maximum!

How to fight and hold a candle?

The women will hold them.

- I'm taking one. - Give me a rifle!

Hold a light, you too.

Like the animals, the Indians see in the shadows.

He does not see more than you. He used his head ...

Bravo!

For my friend.

I'm thirsty ... I'm thirsty!

Patience... Be well behaved.

Tomorrow morning, we will have water.

I have never been so thirsty!

You cry like a little cat ... you want some milk?

My donkey will give you milk.

The troop will be there in the morning! Few hours left...

Horrible, these tam-tams!

Keep the faith!

Let's make more noise than them!

You are Welsh, R v rend.

Welsh people have songs for everything.

I can not sing alone.

We will all sing!

So, a war song!

Spanish-Boot is dying ...

Only the walls!

Sally, I thought about Sam and me.

Tonight he showed himself the bravest of all.

It is easier to be brave than honest.

I am wrong with him. I will repair.

I know you good.

I hope Sam will see it.

Let him talk!

What's he saying?

He wants a doctor.

If it was possible!

Ask him why.

Victorio is hurt. If we heal, they will grace us.

If we had a doctor!

- We can trust him? - Yes.

Ask what will happen if Victorio dies.

- They will kill us all. - Is not that what they want?

When they want, they will attack in force.

If he lives until morning, the troop will arrive to save us.

A smart could be done to pass for a doctor.

I have always dreamed of being a doctor!

- You can not heal him! - I can do tread ...

- I know about care. - For horses!

It is not so different. I'll know how to talk to them, you do not.

- You are the Mayor! - I make you Assistant.

Tell them I'm going.

You will need this.

Replace me with dignity.

I would like to go.

I bluff better than you!

Joe, good luck!

Joe takes time, to treat him!

When will Colonel Haven arrive?

About eight, nine o'clock.

If Victorio dies, we are lost.

We resisted them!

When they will tackle at the door, it will be the end.

They can burn it. So...

Let's hope that Joe was a good doctor!

And the lndian, good horse!

Sam ... Sam!

Do not open the door!

Close...

If I live enough to bury him, I will say:

"It was a man!"

Victorio is dead?

No more hope?

We never know...

You know. Did you tell others?

I do not know if I should ...

Sam, what would you prefer to know?

The truth.

The others too.

Reverend!

It's the end ... Prepare them.

Perfect!

Look at the door!

Stay back.

Fire when they enter!

Let's feed fire!

Come! More is needed.

More wood!

Stand back!

Lift the floor.
