it has been 20 years since the death of

basket's sister I knew him when he was a

small boy I was Parish priest in

Monterey tell me father have you seen

him since several times but not for

almost a year we're checking on everyone

that he might possibly come see it is my

constant prayer that he might wish to

see me but he is a troubled man

torn between his sinful life and God

we've been on his Trail we know he's

somewhere here in the South he comes and

goes without warning like a thunderstorm

if he shows up would you let me know

what did you say was your name singer

Matt Clark and your business in your

Club I do not believe I understood too

well I'm a railroad detective father

Vasquez robbed one of our payoffs just a

month ago and stab the man we've got a

reward out for him dead or alive I

should like to see busca's court but

alive of course

so that he might make his peace with God

you give me all the help that you can

and I'll do my best to bring him in

alive

detective also we work together oh no

such a dangerous profession

useful in digging up information for

instance that you baptized Vasquez when

he was a baby

and you were once a very close friend of

his not friends senorita

Billy Roland Sheriff of Los Angeles had

been searching every possible place

where Vasquez might hide when I joined

him we fooled what information we had

hello Matt how are you fine Sheriff but

it's taken me a good two hours to track

you down well I've been posting guards

it got the whole area blocked in and

ever passed as guarded positive Vasquez

is within a 15 mile radius of Los

Angeles and it's only a matter of time

he can't sit forever sooner or ladies

you're gonna have to make another break

for money instead of going back to Los

Angeles why don't we make our

headquarters here at the mission fast

guesses friends won't be looking for you

there but they would be back in the city

it's a good idea Matt if anything turns

up telepathy we'll be at the mission

traveler from the East

me who does not know of Vasquez why did

you come here

for your blessing

my blessing is not for those who

continue to defy the law of God

and you will also confess to the Civil

Authorities

I would have not a chance in the Gringo

courts they would hang me if you are

unwilling to abandon your life of sin

amendment for a good confession
