MY SON, LISTEN TO MY WORDS...

...ALL MEN ARE BORN EQUAL...

...BUT FOLLY IS BOUND UP IN THE HEART OF A CHILD...

...AND WHEN HE BEGINS TO FOLLOW HIS PATH...

...HE WILL NEVER GO ASTRAY.

WHOEVER WALKS WITH THE WISE BECOMES WISE.

BUT THE COMPANION OF FOOLS WILL SUFFER HARM.

THE HOLY BIBLE - ECCLESIASTES

You see what happens when children tease the fire?

The fire is a great friend, but it doesn't want to be confidential.

Walt, do you think I still appeal to my Johnny?

Sure you will appeal to him, signora.

Please, don't cry, don't cry.

Come on, your father shall see you clean and neat.

The bandits, signora!

Search the house!

Jerry!

Truly a lovely broad. Her master will mourn after her.

She was a filthy Indian. He'll get a new one for these 7 coins.

SEVEN DOLLARS TO KILL

Get going! Come on, muchachos! Hurry!

Catch him.

- What? - The boy, you idiot! Catch him!

Let's go, muchachos! Let's go!

On your horses, muchachos! On the horses!

Hey blondie... Who knows why he wanted to save your life.

Come with me.

You idiot! How are you carrying the boy? He's no sack of potatoes!

Don't make him cry, understood?

Come on!

We have to be at the hideout before dark. Let's go.

- Hi Edward. - Greetings, Johnny.

My journeys won't be the same without you.

You too are a part of the old West that dwindles away.

Which is renewing, due to your courage.

Today, we'll have a celebration for everyone. Also for me, who definitely comes home.

- Good luck, Johnny. - And good luck to you, Edward.

- Edward! Come on, we're waiting for you! - I'm coming!

- Fellows, greet Johnny, who's coming home. - Johnny!

- Hi Johnny! - Good to see you're back again.

- Goodbye! - Greetings, Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny, this is yours.

It's what you gave me when your journey began.

No, just keep it.

Fortunately, it wasn't necessary to use it, right, Sam?

New and brave leaders are needed.

- Thanks, Johnny! And good luck! - Goodbye, Sam.

- What's this all about? - Raise him!

Bring him back from where you got him.

- I'm no foster mother. - He shall become tall and strong.

- You can't make me do it with your antics. - Raise him like he was your child.

- Since you can't give me one anyway. - Then get yourself a woman who can!

You shouldn't have said that.

Rosaria.

Rosaria!

Pull strongly.

- So, is this the whole loot? - Yeah.

That's not enough!

- You're satisfied with that, right? - Well...

But I'm not!

We have weapons and horses, we can make more!

Get out! Get out! Out of here!

I want more!

Go away!

Make him stop!

Why are you stopping?

Don't you want to know how tall my Jerry became?

Rosaria!

Rosaria! Bring me something to eat!

- What do we call him? - Who?

The midget.

He's no midget! He's my son, got it?

Call him whatever you want, woman!

- Then I'll call him Jerry! - Jerry?

Alright... Jerry.

Jerry!

Jerry! I'm here!

Judy!

My love!

Jerry, where are you?

Now you know why I'm looking for these men.

I'm sorry that I can't help you, but you should accept my offer.

No, sheriff.

If you need men, offer your star to someone else.

- I don't need it. - I'm warning you, Johnny Ashley.

If you decline, you're risking to turn against the law.

My wife was killed for no reason.

Only for the joy of killing and the passion for bloodshed.

Only they know if my son is still alive, and where he is.

I can't wait to meet them by chance with a star on my chest.

I'll look for them.

I'll search the entire area for them, step by step.

I'll track them down in their hideouts.

I'll pursue all murderers, everyone with a bounty on his head.

The law is certainly on your side, but don't use the wrong method.

In case you find the culprits, let justice carry out its duty.

Otherwise, your violence will turn against yourself.

- Where are you taking him? - Hi Johnny.

Where do you think we're taking him?

To the only place that's good enough for him: The gallows!

He wasted two men to steal a horse.

- Where's he from? - From a nearby village.

We know him well.

Drop your weapon! Hands up! You too!

I'll shoot the first one that moves, just like a dog!

Get off the horses!

Hands against the wall!

And you grab the knife and poke it into my cantle.

Come on, hurry up!

No tricks!

To the others!

He didn't even give him time to pray, in case he wanted to do so.

Bye, Johnny.

Men like Johnny, who have unfinished business with fate...

...don't do things by halves.

They either accept it, or they're ready to do anything.

Let's go!

Stop!

You damn snake! I'll show you who's the boss!

- You're my downfall! - Let the woman go, you pig!

What has she done to you?

She's a bad wife, senor.

She foisted a bunch of children on me...

...and now she's about to impose another one on me.

Let's go!

Back! Let's turn around!

Hey, you two! Have you unloaded everything?

Open up!

Gold...

- Gold! - Show it...

Listen, Bill. We have to share it with too many.

Hey Jack!

Hey! We're coming, Jack!

Hand me the rifle, we'll have some fun now.

Now I'll take the two of them to task.

Hey!

Load up all four boxes!

Gringo! Everything alright?

- Everything's fine, boss. - We're going home! Come on!

Let's go, muchachos!

Put the injured ones into the carriage...

...and bury the dead. I'll let the sheriff know.

Stop!

What a coup, boss!

You kept us waiting, but you were right.

Your plan was perfect.

Only few, but good coups. We could live many years on that.

- Four boxes full of gold dollars. - This will make waves.

The bank will set all available men on us.

We have to beat it. As soon as we're at the hideout...

...we'll break up the gang. - What will happen to the men?

Many of them will be arrested, and some will be forced to talk.

At that point, everyone of us will be in a safe place.

At the camp, you'll share two boxes of gold among the men.

And besides the gold, everything that belongs to them.

After this everyone will go his own way.

Nobody shall remain at the camp, and nobody shall follow me.

May I come with you, boss?

Are you afraid of staying alone? You're a coward!

Wait a minute...

Or is it because you like my broad?

No, Jack! Lt's about Jerry.

Let's go!

So you know nothing about this gang of murderers?

No, no, as I told you before, nothing ever happens around here.

- This is a very quiet place. - Sheriff!

Sheriff!

Sheriff! Our caravan was raided by bandits!

They lured us into a trap and started killing us.

They snatched the gold and took off.

They even killed two of their allies.

- They were jackals, no humans. - Where did they raid you?

Ten miles from here, at the Devil's Pass.

Prepare the horses and get some weapons.

What do you want?

I can see I scared you. I'm sorry for that.

You don't need the gun.

I don't intend using it if you clear off right now!

You're not very hospitable.

I've been riding all day, and tomorrow I'll do it again.

It shouldn't bother you if I sleep here, too.

For the last time: Beat it! One more step and I'll kill you!

Seems like you're hiding something.

If that was the case, I'd feel sorry for you.

If I were as inhospitable as you are, I'd kick you out now.

But I'm a nice guy.

Well, what are you hiding?

Come on, talk!

Nothing!

Who are you?

I'm a merchant.

Trading gold?

I have no idea what you mean.

Come on, gunslinger! Take them. They're yours.

I said, take them.

Not like that!

I don't want to kill you. We have to talk.

And now be careful what you answer.

I'm looking for a gang that killed an Indian woman on a farm some years ago...

...and kidnapped a child. You're part of this gang!

- Where's your camp? - I know about a small gang.

- I said, answer the questions. - You want me to make something up?

Come on, talk. Who's the boss?

Where's he hiding?

I'm the father of this child and I have to know if it's still alive.

You must tell me! Do you understand, you bastard!

Well, are you finally talking?

Roughness Mountains.

Barkeeper!

Senor?

- Bring us something to drink. - At once, senor!

Hold it! Who's that over there?

- My wife. - Let her serve me!

But she's busy, senor. She can't leave the bar.

Do what I told you if you don't want her to become a widow.

You'd do her a big favor with that.

Alright, senor.

Ramon, I'd like to see a special show today.

- As you know, that'll cost a little, Juan. - Twice a week's pay. How about that?

Who's that man?

- The one over there. - Good.

I'll come to visit you tonight, while your husband's sleeping.

Why, muchachito?

Did mommy allow you to go out tonight?

Yeah, but only until sandman arrives.

Damn pig!

I really regret that.

You have to admit that I had no choice.

I couldn't have let my friend killed.

My deepest regrets... senor.

Bill, back me up.

Jerry, your father is asking for you.

I don't leave any debts.

Take this!

Thanks, Bill.

- How many men can you provide? - How many do you want, senor?

- 20. - When do you need them?

- By tomorrow. - Alright then. Agreed.

So long, senor.

- You asked for me? - Yes, we'll return to the North.

Next time, your hands will be cut off.

At least it won't be the same man who'll do that.

Don't butt in. This is man's business. Prepare everything.

We'll take off tomorrow.

Beware of women, my son. They're dangerous!

Very much indeed! Even more than the redskins!

Stranger!

Stranger, come here quickly! There are bandits down there! My mother...

Mother! Mother!

Thanks, senor.

- Who are you? - Where is your husband?

On the fields.

Tell him that he's a lucky man.

You and five more men go this way. You others come with me. Let's go!

Jerry! Manuel!

Catch those two!

Jack! They're coming.

Why only one horse, Jerry?

What have you done? Did it run away?

But this is mine.

Get down.

Idiot!

I told him that you wouldn't approve of all this.

Where are you going?

Towards the old mine.

The old mine...

Hey! Haven't we met somewhere before?

I don't know sleazy boors like you.

But I know you well, and I know that you're a vulture.

Oh, please! You won't get the gun.

Go!

Come on, keep going! Finish him off!

Come on! What are you waiting for?

Let's go!

When we're at the hideout, you and Bill head south.

- You got a new plan? - Yes, Wishville.

The bank's head office.

All local gold-diggers lodge their gold there.

The plan must be well thought through. I want to know three things.

The first: When are the boxes full of gold?

The second: Which day is the best?

The third: How do you get inside the bank?

I've been wishing for some city life for a long time.

And thanks for your faith in me, dad.

Yes, but beware of the women in the city.

They're even more dangerous.

Water is valuable. You didn't portion it properly.

Wishville is still far away.

Hey, you guys!

They killed my horse for a mouthful of water.

Without you they would have killed me as well.

- Thank you. - I didn't do this because of you.

My horse was thirsty.

Hey!

He won't come.

What...

Just like that. You don't cheat, you don't win.

- When playing alone, cheating isn't necessary. - Bullshit.

- I alone control my fate. - Let's say, you think you control it.

There are some things I like about you.

Including...

...your adorable stubbornness.

So long.

Who's that?

- I don't know yet... - Pardon?

No, it's nothing.

Fred!

I ordered 10 boxes of whiskey. You think that's enough?

- Yes, madam! - Give me the usual.

Where are the girls?

We practiced... and then they went off.

You're a precious co-worker.

I don't know what I'd do without a little sister like you.

Fine. You had this repaired, too.

We're two single women. But we get along well, right?

Yes.

Very nice, Sybil. This was a wonderful premiere. Bravo.

Thanks, Fred.

Your voice is lovely. You deserve a much more important stage.

Thanks.

Somehow, serious remarks don't suit you.

The atmosphere here makes all words seem hardly serious.

Let's meet somewhere else.

- You're not losing any time, are you? - I have very little time indeed.

Look out. Your sister is watching us.

I bet she's looking for an excuse to keep me away from you.

Tomorrow morning at 10:30 am, I'll be at the Layman's Bridge.

No... Don't answer.

If you don't come... I'll understand.

- Goodbye, Sybil. - Goodbye.

Bill. My name's Bill.

- Bill... - Bill... and Sybil.

- Bravo, Sybil. - Thanks.

- Do you know, who he is now? - Yes, his name's Bill.

But I don't understand why you're so worried about him.

I don't like this stranger. There's something shady about him.

Something inscrutable. I'd avoid him, if I were you.

- Now you're exaggerating. - I don't think so.

I just want to keep you from harm.

Don't worry, Emily. I'll be alright.

I'll get changed now. I'm a little tired.

But I thank you...

Emily.

Johnny Ashley!

- Hi Emily. - Let me know when you come here.

- It's not that easy. - Too bad.

Beacuse then I could look forward to this moment.

- Let's drink to your return. - You're beautiful as always.

- The usual, boss? - One sherry and a whiskey.

- Alright. - You still remember.

Memory is my perdition.

When will you finally stop straying around in the wide west?

I don't know.

The end of your story isn't written yet.

Let's banish our sad worries and drink to our future, Johnny.

- As I can see, business goes well. - Well, Wishville is growing continuously.

I think I found the right place this time.

- Now there's the goldmine as well. - And with gold comes progress.

- Progress and weapons. - Fred, give us two whiskeys.

You already heard the news, Mark?

Johnny Ashley, Johnny Ashley, the famous, lawless avenger came to Wishville.

Then we don't have to worry. He'll apply himself to the sheriff's service.

No, you're wrong about that. He doesn't want the star on his chest.

He creates his own law.

My friend, I think you're exaggerating!

Take your hands down, Johnny Ashley! They're smeared with blood!

Get up!

Come on!

Take your hands off!

That burns, huh?

Come on, get your hands off!

Get them off, I said!

- What's going on here? - They provoked him, sheriff!

When they're conscious again, they'll leave the country. Take them away!

I was told that you were in town.

Come to my office later. I have to talk to you.

Take it, this will do you good.

Thanks.

Come in!

I've been expecting you, Johnny.

Are you traveling through or are you going to settle down here?

Did you ask me to come to find that out?

I need men like you.

The discovery of the mine will make lots of gold flow into our bank.

I must be prepared for anything.

But I can't stay until the gold sources are exhausted.

I'm not asking for that.

But you can help me until I find other men.

Agreed.

I'll do it, but I can't tell you for how long.

I can live with that.

Come, I'll walk you to the hotel.

- Is this one free? - Yes.

- Then I'd rather sleep here. - As you wish.

Then you're also on duty at night.

- Bill... - Sybil...

Bill... and Sybil.

Sybil! Where have you been?

I asked you, where have you been!

I forbid you to act like that. Who do you think you are?

You're just a stupid cow who went with the first one who came along.

- If you want to fight, then do it gently. - There's no reason for that.

You mustn't see this man any more. Basta!

- What did he do to you? - I don't like him!

But you're not the one who has to like him.

Let's play on the table next to the stairs.

Okay, alright.

Come in.

Oh, it's you, Johnny.

- What's wrong? - It's about Sybil.

She fell in love like a schoolgirl.

Happens to everyone. It happened to you as well.

Sure, to me as well, but not with that kind of man.

- Why? - I know his type.

- Sybil should stay away from him. - Then try to convince her.

But she just won't listen. And I can't take care of everything.

If you were here... it would be different.

I agreed to cooperate with the sheriff for a while.

Johnny, that's wonderful. Why didn't you say that right away?

This time, I sure won't let you leave again.

- Why don't you hook up with me? - Because I haven't achieved my goal yet.

I spent the last years selling what was mine.

And I think, I still have enough to reach the bitter end.

What else can we expect then? Nothing but loneliness, fear and bitterness!

Stay, Johnny. I'm begging you.

I understand how you feel, Emily.

But I can't make a decision now.

I'm sorry, but I want to see the end of a certain thing.

What a lousy evening!

I've had enough. I'm going to sleep.

If the gentlemen allow, I'll take the empty seat.

I don't mind.

- It's alright. Sit down. - Thanks.

One condition, gentlemen: I want everyone to put their guns away.

I don't care about losing 1.000 dollars, but my life...

...I'd like to keep.

- I begin. - Call.

Me too.

Call.

- And I raise this. - Fold.

- I'm in. - I'm not.

How many cards?

Three.

I take two.

Pot.

Let me see.

Three kings.

That's not enough.

Three aces.

Hey pal! You're playing with too many cards!

There's no place for cheaters here.

Let's go, my son.

You can refresh your thoughts in the cool cell.

- You should thank him. - Oh yeah?

No need to. You rescued me once, too.

I can't remember.

But if you say so, then we're even.

- I don't owe you anything. - Wait a minute.

This is a quiet town. Don't try to change that.

Is this him?

Yes.

Why did you call me?

Because you, while I'm waiting for an answer to the three things...

...waste your time with such a sissy. - I'm not that stupid.

I need her to warrant my presence in Wishville.

Tonight, we definitely would have returned to the camp.

Meanwhile, I got all the information you wanted.

And?

The gold-diggers came back to the city to deposit their nuggets in the bank.

Tomorrow would be a good day for the coup, before the gold is brought to another branch.

No one will be suspicious. This will be a breeze.

Bravo, Jerry! I wasn't wrong about you.

We'll get started tomorrow, but you can't be seen with us.

The best moment is during church service.

While they're praying, we'll be working.

Someone's there.

- It's Sybil. - Follow her!

And remember: Only the dead don't talk!

What do you want? Back off, you scoundrel!

I want to see you on the gallows!

On the gallows!

Sybil! What happened?

Sybil! Sybil!

You were right.

He is a mug.

He belongs to a gang...

...that plans to rob...

...the bank tomorrow.

Sybil! Sybil!

Sybil...

The time has come. Now I really need you, Johnny.

We'll prepare an appropriate reception for them.

- How quiet it is... - Does that bother you?

That's exactly what you wanted. Everyone's at the service in church.

Yes, but that silence... I don't like it.

Not at all.

You dirty gringo! Say your last prayer!

Hey Roger! Let's beat it, before they kill us, too!

You're were even more merciless than you're said to be.

I don't know. I just know it was different this time.

They wanted our gold. They got our lead!

They were taught a tough lesson. They'll leave us alone now.

They won't bother us.

Stop it!

Why are you staring at me like that?

They waited for us! The gang was destroyed!

Your father and Bill were killed by Johnny Ashley!

Let Johnny Ashley know...

...that tomorrow, I will kill him like a dog!

Tomorrow at sunrise, the jackal's son will come to kill Johnny Ashley!

Johnny Ashley... You must kill me!

You took the wrong door.

The theater is over the road.

You probably think I'm crazy.

Maybe I'll get crazy because of you, when you've killed my son as well.

That's just like killing me. Then you can take the gun right now.

This is more in line with your character, isn't it, Johnny Ashley?

- Who are you? - The wife of the man you murdered.

And my son is on his way to the city to avenge his father.

- What do you want from me? - Don't accept this challenge.

- The boy will die, and you know it! - Johnny Ashley! Get out, you coward!

Johnny Ashley!

Johnny Ashley! Where are you?

I dedicated my whole life to these two men.

Your son is a murderer. He belongs to the law.

Johnny Ashley!

Johnny Ashley!

Where are you?

Get out! Get out!

Johnny Ashley! I heard about your story.

But this is only one part. Only I know the other one.

I lied to you. Jerry's not my son!

Jack brought him after a holdup, when he was two years old.

I'm here, Johnny Ashley!

I came to avenge my father.

Jerry, no!

Stop!

Listen to me! Listen to me!

Jack Wilson wasn't your father!

Then you're not my mother!

Defend yourself, you coward!

I said, defend yourself!

Or I'll kill you anyway!

Are your hands paralyzed?

Move them, coward!

Jerry, run! They'll hang you! Run away!

Jerry...

Jerry, they'll hang you!

You understand? Run away!

Jerry, you hear me? Listen to me, Jerry...

Jerry...

Jerry...

My son...

My son...
