THE SACKETT CLAN

I'm Louis L 'Amour.

THE SACKETT CLAN part 2

Here's the rest of the story of the Sackett family.

They scalped her.

When they attack, they're merciless.

They're Utes.

Orrin, you'd better open your eye,

they could do it again.

Look at that.

There's got to be $1,000 in there!

Look, Orrin.

It's better than hunting buffalo, isn't it?

We can't take that money, Tom.

I don't believe it. And what do you suggest?

Leave the money here?

We should see if these people had family somewhere.

If that's the case, this money is owed to them.

And how are we going to find out? They won't tell us.

- They have a daughter. - They have a daughter.

She had written to them.

Read the letter.

Read aloud.

You can do it.

"My dear parents,

I hope you will receive my letter,

before you leave

- Indepen..." - Independence.

"Aunt Nell organized

a birthday party yesterday.

It was very pleasant.

But I would have preferred we were all together.

I miss you very much."

"I'm 16 today,

and I'm told I'm an adult.

I can't wait to come west

to see you again.

I send you my love. Your daughter."

Life is tough around here.

Everyone has to think about survival.

I agree with Orrin.

What do you mean?

That's two against one.

The majority wins.

That's democracy for you, isn't it?

That's what you've always told us.

You're not against democratic voting?

As soon as we get to town, we'll send the money to their daughter

with a letter explaining what happened.

Okay, we'll do it this way. We'll send a letter to their daughter.

We should bury them, don't you think?

Just bury them.

We're not alone, Cap.

Someone's here.

I don't know what it is, or even if it has two feet.

So, you didn't see anything?

No, but I have good reason to be suspicious.

- Maybe he's Indian. - Could be.

- Or an animal. - Could be.

Maybe it's a ghost.

Someone once told me that, a trapper.

He knew what he was talking about.

I've never heard of of a ghost stealing food.

Maybe it's their way of to keep us away from the mountain.

Looks like we found it.

Hey, Tell! Check it out.

Is this the cove where you struck gold?

- Yes, it is. - Take a look at this.

- There's color. - Yes, there is.

We struck gold, son.

Come on, Cap, those are nails.

It's up there that we'll find the gold.

Come on, Jute.

Approach, Cap.

Take a look.

"One thousand five hundred and forty-four."

There's gold in there.

Come on, I'll show you something else.

- What about the horses, Tell? - We'll have to leave them here.

- Come here. - I'd rather be on horseback.

- I need to catch my breath. - This is normal.

One thousand five hundred and forty-four.

It's time to sell our animals

and head for Santa Fe.

There's still a lot of beef around.

We also run the risk of running into Indians.

Twenty-five dollars a head.

We're going to make a lot of money, aren't we, Orrin?

How many animals do we have?

Thirty-nine or forty.

- I thought we had more. - We're going to vote

since you seem to be obsessed with democracy.

- What do you say, Orrin? - I'd like to go to Santa Fe.

- What about you, Ty? - With cattle, we're too visible.

We'd be easy to spot.

The horses have had enough rest.

Come on, let's go.

Take it easy, kid, I don't want to hurt you.

Take it easy.

Have you been following me all this time?

And who's stealing my supplies?

Stop.

Let go.

You stay here and don't move.

Stay here.

Tell!

Where are you?

What are you doing?

You won't believe it. Take a look.

There's your ghost, Cap.

But how did she get here?

I don't know, she doesn't talk.

You know what?

If we washed it, if we painted it,

and dressed her well, she'd be very pretty.

All I know is that we can't take take a woman with us.

If I had known you had a woman hidden up there,

I would have sent for Rosie.

- Wait a minute. Wait a minute. - Wait for what?

What do we do with her?

You found it, it's your problem.

Please don't leave.

My name is Tell Sackett.

What's your name?

You must have a name.

My name is Ange. Ange Kerry.

Ange?

And what are you doing here?

The same as you.

I'm here for the gold.

- Is this your claim? - No, it's my father's.

- And where is he? - He's dead.

The Indians.

They stole our horses.

- And what about you? - I've been hiding.

- How long has it been? - I don't know, sir.

Maybe two years.

You've been here two years?

- Alone? - Yes.

- We did it. - Yes, we did.

Try to find us a buyer.

In any case, you know where to find me.

Do you know where we can find a buyer?

Don Luis will pay you 25 dollars a head, senor.

It's perfect,

but you should see it with Tom Sunday inside.

- Where's the barber? - We need a shave.

El bano? At the Pritts Hotel, senor.

Your young friends told us to come and see you about the cattle.

We agreed on $25 per head.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

- Don Luis will be very happy. - Perfect.

Let's do this.

Tom, can I see you a minute?

- What's up? - Can I talk to you privately?

What's up?

- Is $25 a good price? - Yes, it's a good price.

I don't think we'll be able to afford the hotel the hotel until they've paid.

Don't worry, we've got money to spare.

What are you talking about?

Money I found at the scene of the looting.

Anyway, I haven't seen him since that day.

Two beers.

We went to the post office.

We made sure that the money delivered to the daughter of these people.

I had no idea you were in such a hurry to fulfill your duty.

Juan, you know what we have here?

We have two good Samaritans.

In its great generosity,

Don Luis invites you to dinner at his hacienda.

How's Don Luis?

He's fine, senor.

- Is there a problem? - Jonathan Pritts.

I hear he's expecting you.

There would be a storm in the air.

If Jonathan Pritts returns to Santa Fe,

yes, there's a storm brewing.

It seems to have already settled in.

There's a big hotel here called,

believe it or not, "The Pritts".

He already has one foot in the city.

Pritts said he would come to Santa Fe

bringing in settlers.

Pritts will bring armed men, not families.

Now that New Mexico belongs to the United States,

Pritts preaches that Spanish speakers have no rights.

He said that this land belonged to the Americans.

And that the Mexicans had to be kicked out.

Don Luis is a man of peace.

It's a power struggle, gentlemen,

and this city is trapped.

Senores, you've just arrived in the region.

I've lived here all my life.

You'll see.

Hello there.

You run this place with Ira Bigelow?

Give me a whisky.

You won't get anything, the bar is closed.

Looks like your friends found themselves a good hiding place.

You know,

your former boyfriend and those the Sackett brothers.

I found them, Rosie.

You're Ira Bigelow.

I hear you're looking for Tell Sackett.

That's right.

I might know where you can find it can find it, at a certain price.

I see.

I'm going to Purgatorie to find my brothers.

You can come with me.

Come in, gentlemen.

Have a seat.

Laura.

How about a taste of

a good old Tennessee whisky?

Have a taste.

Indeed, it's the real thing.

That's for sure.

So, Mr. Pritts, what did you want to talk to us about?

I started out in the coal mines Pennsylvania coal mines.

To get by, I learned to fight.

And to get to where we are today,

I've learned to seize opportunities.

I need men like that.

Men who go all the way, like your cattle business.

Twenty-five dollars a head?

I need men like you,

who know how to use their heads and not just their guns.

And why do you need us, Mr. Pritts?

At present, New Mexico is only a territory.

It will soon be a great state.

A place where we can settle down and start a family.

This is the place.

New Mexico is part of the United States.

It's a chance for free Americans.

Just like the gold rush in California.

First come, first served.

Minus the confusion.

You're not planning to get rid to get rid of the Mexicans?

Young man,

Mexicans have no rights here.

This land belongs to Americans not to foreigners.

Mexicans aren't foreigners, Mr. Pritts.

They were here before you.

And you're talking business.

You want to take up arms.

That's why you called us, you need weapons.

You see, Orrin, Juan Torres was right.

This man wants to start a war.

You see, sir,

my little brother Tyrel likes things to be clear clear from the start.

And so am I.

That's just the way we are.

Excuse me.

I'm afraid this is just the beginning.

3 days ago, Pritts chased some of my men from their country.

Two men were severely beaten.

Excuse me, but why didn't did you not react?

There are many ways to win and violence is not the answer.

When we heard the news, my vaqueros wanted revenge.

But I refused.

Pritts has an advantage.

His men are armed.

My men are hard-working workers.

We are men of peace.

But if they try to take our land, we will fight.

I think you should appeal to the law, sir.

- To justice. - But how?

Elect a sheriff to start.

There are more Mexicans in Santa Fe than Americans.

And to quote Mr. Tom Sunday: "The majority always wins."

You see, I've learned my lesson, Tyrel.

Looks like you'll be staying here for a while.

- Thank you for a delicious meal. - You're very welcome.

What's up?

All this fighting...

Try not to get involved.

Your brother is right.

The only way to achieve peace, is to appeal to the law.

Elect a sheriff, like your brother for example.

Now I understand why you wanted to go to Santa Fe.

- She's very pretty. - What's that in your hand?

It happened from Pritts.

- Did you fight with his big arm? - Yes, I fought him.

You know what, big brother?

The scatterbrained young blonde

will get you into trouble.

She's pretty, which can be enough to confuse a man.

Even you.

I think Santa Fe needs a sheriff for everyone.

That's about all I have to say to you.

Except that if you elect me,

I'll do my best to satisfy you. Thank you.

Buenas noches, Juan, Pete.

What is it, Tom?

The competition will be tough for Orrin

because I'm running against him.

I have to take my hat off to my opponent's speech.

He means well, but he's very naive.

I'm very fond of Orrin Sackett. He's a friend of mine.

The only quality he lacks can be summed up in one word:

experience.

For this job, you need a man with experience.

As well as a man who knows the law.

I studied law when I was very young.

I was a lawman in Texas.

Then I went west

and organized one of the largest in the territory.

Mr. Sunday. Excuse me, Orrin.

You've forgotten a few details.

What's up?

Mr. Sunday modestly forgot to mention

that he had been a lawyer in New Orleans.

However, his career came to an end when he was arrested for murder!

5 years ago, he killed a man in a duel for a woman.

- It was a fair fight. - Yes, it was.

He was armed.

We said it was self-defense.

However, Mr. Sunday was sentenced to prison.

He was disbarred,

and expelled from New Orleans.

Over the years, he has built a reputation as a gunslinger.

That's not the kind of man this town needs as sheriff.

An ex-convict, a bandit.

The man who should occupy this position, is Orrin Sackett.

Let's hear it for Orrin.

Tom, I'm sorry.

You should leave him alone.

Come on, let's have a good time.

Orrin?

I didn't know you wanted the job that badly.

Are you behind this?

Not at all, Tom.

Pritts managed to coax you.

No one is pulling the strings.

Any man can be bought at a good price.

You're a liar.

That's not true, Tom.

That's something, Billy.

A criminal who dares to run to be elected sheriff.

Plus, he's a drunk.

He'd be better off tending a flock of sheep.

I hear you know how to handle the trigger.

That you were a great lawyer

and that you killed a man for a woman.

You manage a herd of cows.

Sunday?

You defile this street.

Shut up, kid, or draw.

You're boring me.

Don't shoot, Mr. Sunday. I didn't draw.

Don't shoot!

Where's Tell Sackett, kid?

Where's my money?

I told Ira I'd take care of it.

He's up there with his old friend.

Looks like they struck gold.

We're not interested in gold, but Tell Sackett.

It was my understanding you were supposed to lead us to him.

I don't work for nails.

This gold is for you.

We're interested in Tell Sackett.

You're going to lead us to him, as a scout.

He's up there.

It will take other men to get him out of his hole.

We sent a telegram to our brother Benson.

And I suspect you're not the only gold-hungry gold-hungry gunman in town.

Find me three more men.

Come on!

I took a room for our brother Benson at the hotel.

It should arrive in a day or two.

When he arrives, tell him where we are.

Benson. At the hotel.

- Don't worry, I'll tell him. - Good.

- Come on, drive us. - Sackett and gold.

Two for the price of one.

I promise to maintain order in Santa Fe.

I promise to maintain order in Santa Fe.

To the best of my ability with the Lord's help.

To the best of my ability with the Lord's help.

Today, November 3

Year of the Lord, 1869,

I'm appointing you the town sheriff. Good luck to you.

- Thank you, Judge. - Congratulations Orrin.

Let's celebrate at the Red Barn.

- Congratulations. - Thank you so much.

- Congratulations, Sheriff. - Thank you, Sheriff.

- See you later. - Good luck.

Thank you very much.

- The city needed it. - Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Tyrel.

Tom?

Tom Sunday?

Tye.

Tye Sackett.

Sit down, sit down, we're going to have a glass of whisky.

Have a seat.

Here, pour yourself a drink.

You can serve me one too while you're at it.

It's not exactly like New Orleans.

No, it's a beautiful city.

Yes, very beautiful. Thank you very much.

Very beautiful.

What happened?

What happened?

I'll tell you what I think. I think that...

I may have been the best lawyer in all of Louisiana.

And I had the opportunity to meet

surely the most beautiful woman in the world.

The problem was that she was married to Senator John Haynes.

A man like Pritts: powerful and influential.

He knew about both of us.

It wasn't so bad, except that...

the whole town heard about it and he found himself in an awkward position.

So he challenged me to a duel.

He was also a fool.

How long did you spend in prison?

One year, long enough to end my career.

After New Orleans, I wandered from city to city.

I've come west

because around here, nobody knows a Tom Sunday.

I had left my past behind.

I thought I was entitled a fresh start.

I thought it would be possible here in Santa Fe.

At least, I hoped so.

Becoming sheriff could have helped me a fresh start.

I speak for Orrin.

He needs a deputy.

He's offering you the job.

A deputy position?

I wanted to be sheriff, if you remember.

This job should have been mine.

I taught your brother everything,

I even taught him to read and write.

Me, a deputy?

No, I don't want his charity.

Orrin thinks you're a good person.

- And he needs you. - Does he?

A war is about to break out in Santa Fe.

- Both sides will be armed. - No, they won't.

Orrin stole my work.

What's more, he's under the thumb of Jonathan Pritts.

- Do you still believe that? - Yes, I do.

This is not true.

Look at you, you're drinking too much

and God only knows when your last bath was.

You're consumed with bitterness.

At least I'm cleaning my gun, Tye.

And know that that's all that matters.

That's all there is to it.

Goodbye, Tom.

Goodbye.

- You'll find it here. - What level are they?

Near the summit.

This path will take you there.

We're too easy to spot to procrastinate.

Let's go.

Come on, kid, go ahead.

- Who are you and what do you want? - Tell Sackett.

If I were you, I'd turn around fast.

Hobes, take care of the horses.

Stop it. Stop it!

We'll have to go one at a time. I'll go first.

Jack, cover me.

I'll take care of it, big brother. Well, you listened to the boss.

Onwards and upwards!

I touched it!

I dropped it like a leaf.

Go back to the cave and heat up some water.

What took you so long? I could bleed to death.

Stop grumbling.

There are several of them.

They head to the Spanish grotto.

Yes, I've already been there.

I'll take care of you.

Let's get out of here.

What a story, Orrin.

That's why they call us clandestine distillers.

Would you like to drink something a little stronger?

Thank you, Laura.

- It's a lovely evening. - Thank you, Orrin.

Time has passed since the day you stormed off.

I never thought I'd set foot in your home again.

Whatever our differences, you're a good person.

But I'm worried that you'll tolerate

the presence of Mexicans.

I thought we could join forces.

Some people have have been unfairly treated.

- I hear you favor them. - I don't favor them,

but they have the same rights as everyone else.

It's their city too. Perhaps even more so than ours.

I'm concerned about the future of New Mexico.

It belongs to the Americans, not intruders like Luis Alvarado.

What do you mean by "intruder"?

You know perfectly well.

You're wrong.

We're the intruders, not the Mexicans.

We took this land from them, but now it belongs to us.

If I were you, I'd say no more.

My job is to to keep the peace,

without being influenced.

Without me, you wouldn't have been elected sheriff.

Tom Sunday would have been elected.

Maybe it would have been for the best.

Laura, will you go take care of our guests?

Yes, Father.

I have over 40 armed men under my command.

If you don't follow my instructions,

I'll unleash them on the city,

and there's nothing you can do about it.

You won't survive.

You can't do that.

If you'll have me,

you will do what my father asks of you.

Laura,

Tyrel was right.

You have golden hair,

pretty blue eyes,

but you're just a silly little girl.

Our claim and our horses have been stolen by scavengers.

How much longer can you to put up with this much longer?

Cap, the guys are holed up downstairs.

They must be exhausted by this long journey.

When it's dark, I'll go over there and untie their horses.

- You're not going alone? - You're not going.

If they don't have a mount, they'll have to go on foot

and we'll take care of them.

Could I come with you?

No, that would be too dangerous.

The Bigelow brothers will shoot anything that moves.

And Cap will need you if anything happens to me.

When it's daylight, it'll be easy to find Sackett.

You think so, scout?

He's alone, isn't he?

Sure enough, Jack Bigelow shot that old cowboy.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Just listen.

- Problem? - We can't hear the crickets anymore.

The horses.

- Hobes, go and look after the horses. - I'll do that.

What if it snows when we're up there?

We should go back down.

We'll leave when Sackett's dead.

This is Hobes.

The horses ran away.

Someone untied them.

You want to bleed to death?

I thought you needed help, you've been gone a long time.

He doesn't want to lie there.

- Do you have a horse? - I have a horse.

- Then let me help you. - No, you can't.

No, we're going to hide here for the night.

When it's light, we'll set course for the horse.

And we'll all leave together.

- He could die. - He won't.

Tyrel?

He's dead.

As Don Luis is dead,

his people will want to talk a Tom Sunday.

I know what he thinks of me, he's going to win them over.

- But you're not their enemy. - No, you're not.

But all they know that Jonathan Pritts elected me sheriff.

And it's their enemy.

Little brother,

I still need a deputy.

The city will be divided.

You have a deputy.

I hope the coffee better than yesterday.

What don't you like?

It looks like sock juice.

It wakes you up. Would you like a cup?

Did anyone see what happened?

We look forward to seeing you.

It was two of Fetterson's men. They went that way.

Please don't hurt him.

When you're ready to talk, Fetterson, we'll listen.

- I hope it works. - We'll see.

- Got him? - I've got him.

Come on, let's stop him.

Hey, Orrin!

Don't move.

Turn around.

Come on.

Get in there.

- Rodale. - Fetterson.

It's Pritts, Jake.

I need money too.

And I do what I'm told.

He didn't want you to talk.

Come this way.

Fetterson. Let him go.

If I go to court and say everything what will happen to me?

We'll protect you, I can assure you.

You're a good man, Fetterson.

- And Pritts? - He's a goner.

Tyrell...

send a telegram to the Marshall. Tell him we have a confession.

Onward and upward.

I'm glad it's over.

Maybe it'll bring peace in Santa Fe.

I hope so.

Orrin, is this true?

- What's up? - Are you going to run for mayor?

I will if you replace me as sheriff.

- You believe that? - Yes, I do.

What are you doing up?

We've got to get out of here, Tell.

I'm trying to convince my legs to this idea.

They'll probably attack us soon.

We said we'd go over the hill the hill tonight.

It's a tough road.

Yes, but we know him well and they don't.

That's our advantage.

Let me tell you something.

It's one thing to shoot in a man's leg,

but when his horses are taken away,

that's really cruel.

I get it.

Give me that rifle.

Go ahead.

Go ahead, I'll make it.

I know I'm a burden to you.

You should give me your rifle.

Go on your way, I'll manage.

I'll get you out of here, even if I have to carry you on my back.

Come on.

We'll have to climb up this side.

You're crazy.

Hang in there, Cap. Don't let go of the rope.

Jack.

Ira, look at this.

See if you can see a trace of the horses.

Simpson, come with me.

We did it, Cap. We made it.

We've almost arrived to Purgatorie.

Go ahead.

I'm not going anywhere without you.

Take a look at this.

Purgatorie.

And how do you think they climbed up there?

lra, we found the horses.

In the short time that I was your sheriff,

I think we've gotten to know each other to know each other well.

- And I believe I've fulfilled my mission. - Yes, you have.

I like Santa Fe.

I like people.

And I plan to stay here and make it my home.

You should all know that I'm running for mayor.

Tom Sunday.

I'd like to be the 1st mayor of Santa Fe.

Hello, Tom.

Santa Fe was divided...

I've come to see Orrin, Tye.

Orrin is building the city's future, you could have helped him.

Don't play the diplomat just because your brother is in politics.

I have nothing against you. Nothing at all.

So get out of here.

We've been through a lot together, you, me and Orrin.

I want to make Santa Fe a pleasant city for everyone.

Are you afraid of me?

I've seen you kill too many men.

How about you get out of my way right now?

Every man will be judged for his worth not his skin color.

Impossible.

Impossible?

I want Santa Fe to become a city we can all be proud of.

Don't do that.

Tom, you left me no choice.

I've received a telegram from Purgatorie. Tell is in danger.

I won't be needing this on the road.

Let's go.

Serve me.

Aren't you going to offer me a drink?

Go play in the other room, guys.

Now.

Did you hear the lady?

- Yes, sir. - What's up?

- What's your name? - Delilah.

- Can you repeat that? - Delilah.

Don't talk. Just drink.

- We need a doctor. - Please come this way.

Come on, Cap, make an effort.

Mr. Bigelow, they're here.

- Waiter. - Yes, sir?

- Follow me. - Yes, sir.

Stay here and drink whisky with...

Benson.

- You're alive. - Yes, I'm alive.

- Sackett. - You'll find him here.

We'll wait a while before taking action.

Listen. There's a man here by the name of Tell Sackett.

Yes, I know him.

He's at the doctor's.

Tell him the Bigelow brothers want to see him tomorrow at dawn.

- Go ahead. - Yes, sir.

Benson Bigelow sent me.

They call you.

Looks like we'll never escape from the Bigelow brothers.

Never.

They want to see you, Mr. Sackett.

There are several of them.

How much?

- Six. - When?

Tomorrow morning at dawn.

Benson Bigelow said that they would be at the stable.

At dawn.

Come back, Tell Sackett.

Can you hear me?

Ange, the Bigelow brothers have been chasing me for a long time.

It's time to settle up.

Don't worry about me.

I'll be back.

Go take care of my friend.

Who knows what that old wolf might be trying to do.

What are you doing, Cap?

You don't think I'm going to sit around twiddling my thumbs

and let Tell face them alone.

If that's what you think, you're mistaken.

You really care about this young man, don't you?

Me too.

It's time. Go inside.

You must belong to one of the Bigelow brothers.

Yes, you're a good dog.

Stick around, maybe you can help me.

Tell.

Chewing tobacco?

They're in the stables.

Let's cross.

- Tyrel. - Tell.

- Are they inside? - Yes, they are.

- How many are there? - Seven.

The old cross-eyed man has just closed the door.

Well...

Come on, let's go to the shelter.

Bigelow!

I'll go around the back.

Tye.

- We can go out the back. - Go get your gold.

Sackett!

You've pissed me off enough as it is.

[FRENCH]
