- Rosita is so strong.
- God help her.

It will be over soon.

- It's a boy.
- A boy!

My son.

He's a strong one, that's why
you didn't lose him in the street.

A dove!

The Holy Ghost!

'...And They Called Him Holy Ghost'

Get to work.

Move it, skunk!
Don't expect any mercy, get up.

Come on, brother.
Stand up.

- Remember, this isn't a holiday camp.
- Try to stand up.

I'd rather die.

There'll be no food tonight.
And I'll have you whipped next time.

Don't just stand there.
Get to work,

unless you don't want to eat.
Move it.

You idle pig.

I'll have you whipped if you
don't get up.

I'll make you curse the day
you were born...

You can do it.
You just need a good whipping!

And you, hurry, get to work.
Come on!

What are you waiting for?

I've had enough of you.

You damned dog!

What are you doing?
Get back to work.

Don't move, damn it.
You'll regret it.

Stop it.

- I'll make you regret you'd ever been born.
- I'll never regret it.

That's going to cost you something
ten times worse than your sentence...

I'm going to enjoy this!
Tie him to the wheel.

And make sure it's facing the sun!
You'll have no bread or water...

I'll leave you there for three days,
until the sun has dried your veins.

And that's just the start.
Take him away!

I want to enjoy this show immediately.

Take a good look at the sun,
and don't expect any shade.

The blood in your veins will
start to boil soon.

Are you thirsty, Holy Ghost?

Okay, I won't force you to drink
if you aren't...

But maybe tomorrow,
or the day after.

- No.
- Call me when you've had enough.

- No, I won't call you.
- Then I'll poke you every now and then.

And now a five mile mile walk
to loosen your limbs.

Then you can sleep
among the bugs and lice.

March!

Move out.

Halt!

It's an order signed
by the Federal judge.

Let me see.

I have to take one of your
prisoners to Tucson.

- Which prisoner would that be?
- It's written there.

You can read it,
his name is Jack Falton...

But they've called him Holy Ghost
since he was born.

A strange name for a paleface.

But he has to do twenty years
of forced labour.

He has to testify in court to
exonerate a man accused of murder.

- When he has completed this task...
- This is a good opportunity...

- Take advantage of it.
- Yes.

- Don't waste it.
- I already thought about it, I'll try.

But it won't be easy to outwit
an Indian who made it to Sheriff.

- The only one in history.
- I'll answer personally for the prisoner...

They'll have to kill us before
they take him from me and my men.

Okay, take him.
But be careful, he's dangerous.

Everyone in the county knows him.
Don't worry, he won't have many chances.

I'll bring him back safe and sound.

Remove the chains from Holy Ghost
and hand him over to the sheriff.

Go on.

We'll set up camp here.

Come with me.

And no tricks,
if you value your life.

Some coffee, boss.

Take it...
We want you in good shape for the trial.

Hey, buddy...

Come here.

- You're free.
- Who are you?

Mr. Foster will tell you,
he's waiting at his ranch.

I'll kill him!

No...
Stop.

What's wrong with you?

- Let's go, there's no need to kill him.
- Why?

This act of kindness will cost
you dearly, Holy Ghost.

- I have my reasons.
- Let's go.

- Welcome to my ranch.
- Thanks.

Where's Jim?

He was killed.

I'm sorry.

My daughter, Consuelo.
A friend.

Your father saved my life many years ago
and I wanted to settle the score...

I don't like being in debt to anyone,
but we'll talk about that later.

You can go.
Let's go in, you must be tired.

Have a seat.

There's no need to be polite.

- But you're injured.
- Yes, it's nothing.

Wait, I'll get some medicine.

My daughter can do everything,
she's a marvellous girl...

My life would be
meaningless without her.

Since I lost my wife.
She died giving birth to her.

She was Spanish,
I've never met another woman like her.

You'll be my guest for a few days,
but there's a condition.

You can't leave the ranch because
it might be dangerous for both of us.

You can rest here.

And when things calm down
I'll take you to the border.

Sounds good to me.
Thank you.

Here comes our nurse.

He's all yours, dear.

Let's have a look...

These cuts can easily get infected.

- I hope this doesn't hurt.
- With your delicate hands...

- It would be impossible to hurt me.
- I'll take care of you, personally.

You'll be back to normal in a few days,
if you follow my advice.

Okay?

How do you feel now?

Much better, right?

Make this quick, our guest must
be hungry and it's already late.

I've finished.

For a doctor like her I could
go without food for three days.

But how did you know I'd be there?

You can go.
Come on, father...

- We're all dying to know your secret.
- You see...

I'm a good friend of the Federal judge,
that's how I knew he wanted you in Tucson.

It wasn't difficult to organise
your kidnapping...

But I didn't want anyone to die.
Those weren't my orders.

Sadly, these things are inevitable,
no matter how good your intentions.

Yes, I understand,
but I'm against violence of any kind...

And I don't want any trouble
with the law.

- Now let's drink!
- Your wine really is excellent.

If you're looking for a good horse,
don't look at them...

They're nags with something
on their conscience.

If they know they're
carrying a sheriff, they faint.

Come over here,
these are all thoroughbreds.

That one even knows morse code.
It's quite a horse!

That one works very well with lawmen.

- How much?
- $20 wouldn't even pay for his shoes...

But you can have him.
Three of my horses starved to death last week...

So I need money to feed the others.

I don't eat much myself,
but I need something to keep my on my feet.

You've persuaded me.

Here.

Thanks!

It kills me to sell my horses.
You got a great deal.

That remains to be seen,
but I'll find out soon enough.

- Bon appetit.
- You kidding?

It's all for the horses.

When I think how much
these damned horses eat!

You surprised me, Sheriff.
I rarely get visitors at this hour.

An old friend can stop by any time.
Especially if it's to give you a warning.

- I don't need warnings, Sheriff.
- I see you're in fine company.

They're the only honest friends I've got.

Take them away then tell me
what I have left in this world?

Men?
No thanks!

They're worse than lice.

What do you want from me, Sheriff?

You haven't come here to tell me
I have lice, or that I'm not too smart.

Why have you come all the way here?

- Holy Ghost managed to escape.
- Holy Ghost! Great!

- You're happy he got away.
- I can't lie to you...

I would've done the same thing.

- I'm sure he'll come here.
- Why would he do that?

To collect the loot from his last
robbery, for example...

Everyone in the village says Holy Ghost
has made his nest here, in this old mine.

- You wouldn't know anything about that?
- They're just stories...

If there was any gold here
I'd have found it...

And I wouldn't still be here,
believe me.

When they arrested Holy Ghost
I set up camp in this mine...

Convinced I'd find gold,
but all I found was lice.

No, you'd be lucky to find
a dollar here, Sheriff...

And Holy Ghost wouldn't
set foot in this place.

All the better for you.

If you dare give him even a small piece
of bread I'll arrest you, understood?

You can go back to sleep.

A warned man is half saved.

It's a proverb I learnt from the white folk.

Goodnight.

Are you waiting for me?

Don't try it.

Throw it by my feet.

Like that, good.

Now go... Holy Ghost never kills
the first time round.

What a surprise!
Holy Ghost in the flesh!

The Sheriff was right,
that crazy redskin...

- He was right!
- Is this how you greet an old friend?

Listen carefully, Holy Ghost...

I'm really glad to see you...

But that damned Indian that's looking
for you, I don't like him one bit!

Yes, I know, he's worse than
a hound that won't let go.

Now tell me, how do you know
he's looking for me?

How do I know?

Because he woke me up in the middle of
the night to tell me you'd escaped.

I don't think he got over
the death of his sister.

He's convinced you killed her,
and he won't give up!

Until he proves it in court.

I'm just worried they might
start blaming me!

Look, my friend,
I want to be honest with you.

I don't want to end up in jail
and pick up new lice.

And that damned redskin will send me to jail
if I even give you a piece of bread.

He made it quite clear.

Don't worry,
he'll never put you in jail...

And if he tries,
he'll have to go up against me.

- But he said I should turn you in.
- I'll leave once I get my gold.

- But there's nothing here.
- Have faith, you'll see.

- Come on.
- You still think it's here?

They must have taken it soon after
you hid it or I'd have found it...

Where could you have hidden it?
I searched everywhere.

I'll tell you,
under the beams in the old mine...

At the other end.
That's where it is.

- I don't believe you!
- You'll laugh a lot less when you see it.

I get the impression the lice didn't
just stop on your head.

But they got right into your brain!

You've lost your touch,
but you'll recover, you're young.

Come on, let's see
which one of us is crazy.

I already know.

Let's see.
One, two, three...

Have you found it?

Four...

Let's go that way.

Damn it.

I don't remember.

Then I'll tell you...
Two steps forward!

Two steps back.

Then take a bow.

And the gold will come to you,
just like in a fairy tale.

Like when we used to go dancing
in the countryside.

You should've seen how the women
bowed back then!

Tits full of fresh milk!
It was great!

Come and have a look.

Almost there, old man.

Hurry up!

- Now do you believe me?
- Christ! That's gold!

Hit me!
Tell me it isn't a dream!

I really am awake!

And it really is gold. Damn!

I've been such a fool.

To think, I looked everywhere for it
when they put you inside...

I had to find it!
I thought they'd hang you.

- Would've been a shame to waste it.
- So you were upset when they didn't hang me.

No...
I wouldn't say I was upset...

But I knew you'd be glad I found it
instead of someone else.

You're only making this worse
for yourself.

I can't believe it's real.

Relax, they're real.
And there are some for you.

It's only fair, I prevented anyone
else from finding it.

I took very good care of it.

Are you okay?

Don't move.

- I can't feel my legs.
- I'll move it.

I feel like an egg stuck to a pan.

Holy Ghost!

You're trapped, Holy Ghost.
Surrender, you're surrounded.

- There's no escape.
- Save yourself!

Save your breath,
I don't abandon my friends.

Save yourself.

There's still time.

You can use the hole they used
to take out the provisions...

Leave me.
Let me die in peace.

- After so much pain!
- My patience has a limit...

There's no way out, you have five
minutes to come out with your hands up.

Your share, old man.

You can still have it.

So long.

This is your last warning.
Come out, you're surrounded.

I thought I told you
not to leave the ranch...

- Why didn't you respect my wishes.
- I had a personal matter to take care of.

- Sorry, but I had no other choice.
- What if someone followed you?

- No one followed me.
- I hope so, for your sake.

Otherwise you'll pay!
I won't stand for any mistakes.

Don't you think you're exaggerating?

- What is all this noise?
- Nothing, dear!

Nothing serious, merely a heated
exchange between gentlemen.

- Then come and have breakfast.
- Of course, dear.

- Biscuit?
- Did you make them?

This is the reason for my mistake...

Or I wouldn't have left the ranch,
where I feel quite at home...

Is that good enough?

I hid them in the old Wilson Mine
before I was arrested.

It's fabulous...

I've never seen a gold ingot
shine so brightly.

- Where did you find them?
- That's all in the past.

I would take too long to explain.

Anyway, there's another reason
why I left the ranch.

I wouldn't have risked everything
for a sack of gold...

- I had a very important reason.
- Such as?

A large convoy of gold is going to
cross this state next month...

I have all the necessary
information on this map...

To get the gold when it passes
this precise point...

According to my plan.

It's more gold than we could
possibly spend in our lifetime.

I'll need at least twenty
trustworthy men...

If you're interested
we can do it together.

Okay.

I'll give you the details
at the right time.

For now I need you to get
hold of some military uniforms.

I want to know the plan,
if you need me...

- Otherwise you can do it alone.
- Okay.

I need someone who knows
how to use a machine-gun.

A strange place to do
business like this, right?

Are we here as tourists?
I don't see anyone here.

Right, we don't see anyone...

But we hear someone.
A fine artist!

We'll wait next door.

I know him well, he won't come until
he's finished playing this piece.

Now he'll come.

Excuse my lateness...

But music is my calling.

I too would like to be a slave
to a calling like yours.

- It's the ghost that haunts me.
- Speaking of ghosts...

- This is Holy Ghost.
- My Lord.

Holy Ghost.

I hope you're worthy of this name.

Let's hurry, my faithful congregation
awaits my music.

- It's sublime to listen to you.
- Thank you.

- I'm merely the vessel of many spirits.
- I won't keep you any longer...

We'll get straight to the point.
Holy Ghost will explain.

I'm listening.

I'll make this brief.
Twenty days from now...

A military escort will be
transporting a convoy of gold...

This is the route it will take,
and this is where they'll change escort...

It happens every fifty miles...

The last stop is Fort Standel,
where it is meant to be stored...

But we'll make sure the gold
never gets there...

Because if we follow my precise plan...

At a certain point on its journey...

It will fall into our hands like a gift
from the Holy Ghost!

I thought you were working.

Indeed, I'm resting because
I've been working since dawn.

- Why don't you join me?
- I'm coming.

It's marvellous!

- What about the uniforms?
- Don't you think of anything else?

You could think of something
different here, something more poetic.

You're right, but I'm worried.
We don't have much time.

If the uniforms aren't ready
on time it will ruin everything...

- It will be too late.
- I know...

But the uniforms will be ready.

Don't worry.

Consuelo...

- Get back to work.
- Why?

-Then I won't have to worry.
- Yes, sir!

Are you satisfied with what
you've seen?

I wouldn't want to misinterpret
your silence.

- It seems I've left you speechless.
- I'm out of words and out of breath...

- It's been like that since the first day.
- Really?

Actually, I feel the same, too.

Then I'll marry you and we'll go
to Mexico together.

- And if I don't want to marry you?
- You wouldn't have let me see you like that.

What's that got to do with it?

- I thought you'd turn around.
- It's not true, you did it on purpose.

And you did it because
you know I love you.

- Will you marry me?
- I'll think about it...

- First I want to see the gold.
- Okay, if that's why you want to marry me.

No, not only that.

- The route seems quite clear.
- We've seen everything we need.

- There's just the station left.
- The last stop, but the most important.

Let's go.

That's the station.

Look, Steve.

So the last change over
will take place at that station.

- Are you sure?
- That's what the map says.

Let's pray it all goes well.

We won't have much time.
It isn't going to be easy.

As long as we stick to the plan
we can't fail.

Obviously, we can't afford to
make any mistakes.

The slightest error,
and it will all go wrong.

We can return to the farm.
Let's go.

Your father was up late.
He's worried about tomorrow.

Yes, I know, he's worried
someone might get killed...

- You won't harm them, will you?
- Not a hair on their head!

I hope so.
Because now we've gone this far...

Now everything is ready,
and we can't go back...

- I'm scared!
- Of what?

I don't know.

Of what might happen to you,
or my father...

I'm worried about both of you.

No, my love...

There's no need to be scared...

Everything will be okay, you'll see.

In a few days we'll be in Santa Cruz,
free, happy, rich.

- Where are you coming from?
- From Fort Laramie.

- I just finished escorting some gold.
- Are you waiting for the change over?

Yes, that's right.
I thought you were my replacement.

But then I noticed you were alone,
and you had another wagon.

Speaking of which, your cargo
looks more valuable than mine...

The way you've secured it.

Indeed, I'm carrying rifles,
they can be more precious than gold.

Depending on the circumstances.

Untie your belt.

Hands up!

Come on, move!
Everyone inside!

Good.
Very good!

Everyone inside!

Come on!

Help me!

You as well.

- Start walking!
- Careful, Lieutenant, he's very nervous!

Let's go inside.

Take this wagon away,
and get the one with the gold.

Our escort is coming.

Don't be afraid.

The fifth commandment says...

'Thou shalt not kill'
But I don't want any witnesses!

Nothing personal.

Still no sign of him.

There's no point looking for me.
I'm over here!

Stop!
Holy Ghost!

What are you doing?
Don't kill me!

Have mercy!

I didn't do anything!

- I'll kill you like a dog!
- No, have mercy!

Where are you going?
Come here!

I'm leaving...

I should've known I couldn't trust you.

Why don't you ask me what happened?

I heard the gunfire,
and now I see you're alone.

It doesn't take much
to figure out what happened.

If I wanted to do it alone,
I wouldn't have come here...

I would have headed off
in the other direction.

You came here to get rid of me
like you got rid of all the others.

But you messed up.
You underestimated me...

Because I'm going to kill you!

Leave the rifle on the ground.
Now listen carefully.

- Why don't you kill me, Holy Ghost?
- Because I have no intention of killing you.

- It was Steve.
- Steve?

It was all going well until
he started laughing like a lunatic.

- Go on.
- He killed both of the escorts.

And he tried to kill me as well.

He wanted it all for himself.
He laughed... He laughed like a madman!

But he won't get his share anymore,
because I had to kill him.

Let's move the gold.
We can't waste any time.

- We'll go straight to the ranch.
- As you wish.

Someone might have heard the shots.
It isn't wise to stay here.

- At last! Did it all go well?
- Yes, the gold is here.

But something terrible happened.

- Steve betrayed us.
- No!

He killed everyone,
and he tried to kill me.

Let's not waste time.
We need to burn the wagon...

And anything else
that might compromise us.

But now I'm tired.
Take care of our guest...

Come and see me when you've finished,
I need to talk to you.

- You were quick.
- Holy Ghost didn't want to eat anything.

He went straight to his room.
He was very tired.

- Daddy, you must recognise...
- Yes, of course.

Listen, my child,
I have something to tell you.

Sit down, my dear.

Come on, don't keep me in suspense.

Listen, Consuelo...

It's about Holy Ghost.

He isn't what he seems...

He's a bandit.
A man without morals.

- Perhaps.
- Believe me.

He's always behaved like a gentleman.

Sure...

Sure.

He only tried to kill me,
and I assure you he'll try again.

- How can you think such a thing?
- I don't believe his version of events!

It just doesn't make sense.

I genuinely regret helping him.

You owe it to him,
if you're rich now.

If he's a bandit,
then you're worse than him.

And so am I.
Because I knew what I was doing.

Accusing him,
you're accusing yourself.

- You can't deny it.
- But he tried to kill me!

You already told me,
but I'll never believe you.

He had a thousand opportunities
to kill you...

Steve was a lunatic and you knew that.

You asked for his help.
He isn't to blame.

He was the only one with a
machine-gun who knew how to use it.

What does that prove?

He couldn't wait to use it
because he was a killer...

Why else would
he have had a machine-gun?

- How can you believe anything else?
- You may well be right...

But to be associated with Holy Ghost
is too dangerous for us.

There's still a bounty on his head.

And the Sheriff in Tucson will
never stop hunting him.

So I've decided to turn him in
to get the Sheriff off our back.

This way I'll be able to divert
any suspicion away from me.

No, tell me you won't do it,
or I'll have to stop you.

You can't do it.
You're better than that.

Don't you see,
I want to marry him!

Never!
I'll never allow it!

Try to see sense.
Please, if you want me to be happy...

You can't turn him in.
You can't do this to your little girl.

He's a good man.

When we're married in Mexico,
he'll change, you'll see.

Very well.
I'll try to please you.

I mean I'll think about it before
I make a decision.

Let me sleep on it.
Goodnight, dear.

We'll discuss this tomorrow.
I'm only being honest with you.

Perhaps too much so.
Goodnight, sleep well.

Goodnight.

Come in.

I have to talk to you.

It's about my father.
He's scared of everyone...

He wants to hand you over
to the Sheriff.

I did everything I could to stop him.

When a man is so taken by fear...

There's nothing you can do.
I have no choice, I must leave tonight.

Before he does something foolish.
You'll go to Mexico with the gold...

And I'll join you as soon as I can.

- I'll marry you, if you still want me?
- How can you say that?

If I have to,
I'll wait for you till I die.

- Good luck.
- You too.

We'll meet again soon.

A real masterpiece!

I knew you'd fall for it.

You'll never find me in Mexico...

Because I'll never go there!

Get off your horse.

Take his gun.
He's a very dangerous man.

We finally caught you!

A $10,000 bounty is always useful.

Stop!
Let him go.

You've done a good job.

- Tie him up, we'll take him in.
- Why trouble yourself, Sheriff?

We're better off hanging him now.

We'll still collect the bounty
if he's dead or alive.

That wasn't the deal.

You've earned the bounty,
but I'll answer for this man's life.

- And I'll bring him in alive.
- You got me because someone turned me in.

It sounds like the gentleman's
complaining.

- Let's just hang him now.
- Don't you lay a finger on him.

It's up to the courts to decide.

- You'll all hang for this!
- Listen, redskin, I've had enough of you.

You know what?
I think we should get rid of him as well...

Then we'll say Holy Ghost killed him.

Let's find a nice tree.

Before they hang me,
listen to me.

I didn't kill your sister,
it was two gold prospectors.

- This isn't the time to discuss it.
- I'm telling you I didn't kill her.

We'll talk about this later.
Either way, I don't believe you.

You make me laugh!
There won't be another time, Sheriff.

Soon, you'll both be dead.

Throw down your guns.

What are you waiting for?
One wrong move and I'll kill you!

You made it just in time, Consuelo.

Cut the rope.

I was sure my father would do this,
that's why I followed you.

He was thinking of you.
It wasn't his fault, it was my past!

It wasn't meant to be.

Foster!

Murderer!
You killed her with your own hands!

She's dead because of you.

My little girl.

Why?

How is it possible?

- You turned me in, and you killed her!
- Yes, it's true, I turned you in!

- You betrayed your only real friend.
- Yes, I betrayed you...

Because I didn't want my daughter
marrying a worm like you!

It wasn't about the gold.

It isn't true,
I didn't turn you in.

No...
But if I hadn't said that...

You'd never have killed me.

Consuelo was right...

She was right,
you'd never have killed me.

But I couldn't outlive my own daughter.

I had to die...

Why did they call me Holy Ghost?
Why?

Why?

Now you have to listen to me.

I didn't kill your sister.

I was passing your reserve,
when I saw her riding through the canyon...

I could see two gold prospectors
watching her.

I knew what they were up to and I tried
to catch up with them to defend her.

She was frightened...

And when she saw me she thought
I also wanted to rape her.

She took her own life.

I had no other choice.

You would never have believed me.

You've never believed me.
My pistol is loaded...

If you still don't believe me...

You can kill me.
