Original subtitles

Major, I sure do hate to face all them people.

Then put your glasses on, John.

- Welcome home, Major Rane. - Good to be back.

Meet Mrs. Murphy.

Hello, Mrs. Murphy, nice to meet you.

Meet Colonel Burlingame.

Welcome home, meet Mrs. Burlingame.

- Thank you. - Welcome home.

- Meet Colonel Maxwell. - Welcome home, Major.

Major McConnell, sir.

- Welcome home. - Good to meet you.

Major Rane, I'm sure the crowd would like to hear you say a few words.

Good to be back.

We knew all along

that everyone back home from the President on down,

was behind us 100 percent.

It was God and faith in our families that kept us going.

Speaking for myself,

I'd like to say that the whole experience has made a better man,

a better officer, and a better American out of me.

Thank you very much.

Very well clone, very well clone, I wish you a lot of luck.

Thank you, sir.

Major, uh, Mrs. Rane and your son are right over this way.

Good to see you, Charley.

Hi, Daddy.

- Hello, Son, how are you? - Fine.

Oh, honey, oh.

Oh, baby, it's so good having you back.

Look who all came to see you.

There's your dad.

Oh, God, we've been looking forward to this day.

Doesn't he look great?

Yeah, oh, I'm so glad you're home.

Aw, welcome home. - Look at his patches, Pa.

- Hello, boy. - Hi, Daddy.

- Doesn't he look good? - Glad my boy's home.

Glad to see you, Son.

Major Rane, how do feel about being back after seven years?

No questions right now, if you don't mind, please.

Major do you feel any bitterness toward the people in the anti-war movement?

I don't think this is time for that, if you don't mind.

Gentlemen, please...

Is it true that you were starved and tortured?

Colonel Maxwell, can you comment...

Charley, I was so nervous that, uh,

Cliff came by to drive us out.

You remember Cliff?

- How ya doin', Cliff? - Real good, Charley.

God damn, it's good to see you.

- Good to see you too again. - Jesus Christ, you're lookin' good.

Hey, let's get you outta here, okay?

Oh, excuse me.

Hey, runt, not over there.

Come on, get in back with your daddy.

Come on, runt, let's move it.

Come on.

Major.

We'll, we made it, John.

We're home.

Take care of yourself, now, you're gonna be fine.

Oh, yeah.

You ever get out to El Paso, Major...

Hey, I'll be there.

Take care.

Aren't you glad your daddy's home?

Sure.

Remember what Dr. Maxwell said.

It'll take a little while for you two to get to know each other,

but you will.

Why is he staying out in the work shed?

Just 'cause it's small and quiet out there.

Charley, come in.

Hi.

That's a real pretty shotgun you got me for a present, thank you.

Cliff took me down to his special police gun store to get it.

He helped me pick it out.

Says it's as good as they come.

Sleep tight.

Well, that was real nice of Cliff.

Maybe you and I can go out and take a little target practice with it.

- What do you say? - Okay.

We'll do it.

Why don't you get some sleep

and I'll talk to you in the morning, huh?

Where'd you find that?

In the living room.

Mom said it was yours.

It's all right, I just didn't know you had it.

I carried that around with me for a long time.

See, where I was, uh,

we didn't get to see the American flag very often.

In jail?

Jail, well, I guess so, yeah.

I made that myself.

I'd collect little pieces of thread and cloth and-

Well, it took a long time.

But I made it.

Every morning

all the men in my compound would come in and salute it.

That little thing?

Yeah, that little thing.

Sometimes we'd even whisper the "Star Spangled Banner."

Do you remember me?

I mean, what I looked like when I was a baby?

Sure, of course I do.

Every last detail.

Why don't you take that as a present from me?

Thanks.

You don't remember me, do you?

Well, there's no reason why you should.

When I left, you were only about that big.

About 18 months old.

But you knew your daddy then, Mark.

You knew me.

Last thing I remember,

just before I was gettin' on the plane to go overseas,

was your little legs toddling up toward me saying, "Daddy, Daddy."

You were some tough little guy.

Now, why don't you get some sleep, Son?

Good night, Daddy.

Did you leave the night-light on?

Can't sleep without it.

Seems a little confused.

Yeah, he's been that way for weeks.

Had a 104 degree fever for three days...

vomiting and diarrhea.

Dr. Maxwell says it's nothing organic.

It's just nerves, that's all.

A problem that POW families have.

Among others.

You didn't change the house much, did you?

Didn't change a thing.

You had all that back pay.

I didn't touch a penny of it.

As soon as I found out you were alive...

Alive?

Well, in the prison camp,

whatever you call it.

Anyway, I was workin'.

I decided just to leave it in the bank for you to do wanted with it.

That's real nice to hear.

I, uh-I got you a present.

A special one.

I hope you remember.

Mounds, huh?

Yeah.

Remember how you used to eat 'em when we first went together?

I told you that your teeth were gonna fall out.

I had one of those in my flight jacket the day I went down.

I tried to save it.

I took a little bite out of it every day for six months.

Oh, Charley.

You've changed your hair.

Yeah, about a hundred times in the last three weeks.

And you're not wearing a brassiere.

Nobody wears 'em anymore.

Didn't they tell you that?

No.

They told us about miniskirts,

but, uh, I never thought we'd get to see one.

Well I have one, you want me to try it on?

No.

You don't have to do that.

Charley,

I've, uh...

I've been with another man.

Well, aren't you gonna say anything?

Just gonna sit there?

Oh, Charley, I didn't know

when you were coming back or if you ever would.

I'll tell ya, the men around here don't respect anything.

If I told you all the guys that called me up.

A lot of your friends from the base, I didn't even look at 'em.

And then, Cliff.

He and Peggy split and, uh,

she took the kids to California.

And Cliff started comin' over, playing with Mark

and fixin' things up around the house.

He didn't make a pass at me.

I mean, he didn't even do it at all, Charley.

I knew what he wanted but...

he never did anything about it.

And then it just seemed like the two of us just had to.

I knew, we all knew.

Couldn't a been any other way.

Cliff asked me to marry him, Charley.

And I... I said I would.

I don't think I'm up for any more of this.

Why don't you go to bed?

We'll work this all out.

What are you going to do?

I'm just gonna sit here.

I can't sleep.

Those pills you gave me don't work anymore.

Well, after seven years, uh,

it's gonna take some time to readjust.

I had everything worked out.

But nothing's goin' the way I planned.

My wife wants a divorce, but I suppose you already knew that.

Mm-hm.

Does that make you angry?

It's important to me

that I stay close to my son.

I won't let him go.

You won't have to.

Now, no matter what happens,

I won't let him go.

All right folks, keep it quiet.

Major Rane, to help you travel on the road to success in style,

Rogers Motors is proud to present to you

the keys to that Cadillac convertible.

Thank you very much.

And as a special presentation, the young Texas belle

who wore your VIVA bracelet all the while you were away,

Miss Linda Forchet... Linda.

Maim',

I've been lookin' forward to the clay that I'd be givin' this back to you.

Thank you very much.

And Green's Department Store would like to present you

with a token of our respect,

admiration, and hope for the future...

One silver dollar for every day you were in Hanoi's hell hole.

That amounts to a grand total of $2,555.00.

Oh, and one for good luck.

Thank you very much.

What are you gonna do with all those silver dollars?

Oh, I guess I'll take 'em home and hide 'em.

You should try talkin' to Charley about it.

What should I tell him?

I'm sorry they shot you down and tortured you?

Sorry I'm takin' your family away from you?

I sure didn't want it to work out like this.

I didn't either.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, come on.

Come on, it's gonna be all right.

I'll try talkin' to him.

Cliff, I feel so guilty.

“Hm!

Come on, runt, chuck it over here.

Now over to your daddy.

No, No, no, no.

You guys go ahead, I'm beat.

Buy you a drink?

Sure.

If I'm bothering you, man, just tell me to leave.

No, that's all right.

Uh, I mean, hell, I wouldn't blame you

if you came after me with a damn tire iron or somethin'.

Now, why would I want to do somethin' like that?

After everything that's happened.

Hell, what kind of a man would I be

if I went and hid someplace without talkin' about it.

Welcome home, Charley.

It's good to be home, Cliff.

I gotta say this, Charley-

I really admire you.

Well, thank you, Cliff.

I mean, I... I've been in some scrapes, I know what I can do.

But, uh,

well, anyone who wasn't over there has to ask himself

if he coulda taken it.

You know, gettin' tortured and all.

I mean, them gooks had no mercy.

Well, you don't want to hear about that, Cliff.

No, no way.

I don't even want to think about it.

You know, you're lucky.

You're lucky they didn't ruin you for life.

You want to know what they did?

No.

Sure you do.

I'll show you... See, they had this little rope trick.

Yeah?

Yeah, they were... kinda happy with it.

What they did was, see, was they got you down

on your knees in front of 'em, see.

- Uh, huh. - Like this.

And then they tied your arms behind you, see, here.

- Here, help me out, give me a hand. - Huh?

Just help me out, tie that arm to this one real close.

Okay-

- Like this? - That's right.

Uh-huh.

Tighter, man, they did it tighter.

All right.

You, uh, sure you want to go through this again, huh, Charley?

Yeah, of course I'm sure.

Go ahead, now you take in the loose ends.

All right.

And you pull it up in the air like you're gonna

take me clear on up to the ceiling.

All right, like this?

- That's it. - Mm-hm.

Now, higher, man, higher, 'til you hear the bones startin' to crack.

That's it- Higher!

Pull on it, higher! Higher!

Yeah, all right, Charley, that's enough.

They used to do that to us twice a clay.

I don't know how you took it.

You learn to love the rope.

That's how you beat 'em.

That's how you beat people who torture you.

You learn to love 'em.

And they don't know you're beatin' 'em.

Listen, Cliff...

I hope you don't mind me sayin' this to you.

But I'd really appreciate it if you didn't call my kid a runt.

I won't.

Sorry, Charley.

Here's lookin' at you.

How ya doin' fella, what can I do for ya?

Oh, how 'bout givin' me ten dollars worth a premium.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

Major Rane?

Hi.

Hi.

Linda Forchet, the girl who wore your bracelet.

Oh, yeah, I remember. How are you?

Fine.

I like your shirt.

You been shopping?

Yeah.

How 'bout... come on, I'll buy you a drink to your new wardrobe, okay?

No, I gotta be gettin' back.

Hey, you gonna be the first guy to say no to me?

- Come on. - I guess not.

Why don't you hop in and I'll park the car.

I work here at night.

What are you doin' here now?

Just hangin' out.

I come in and I water the plants.

And socialize.

Bebe, uh, bring me a Tom Collins.

Major, what are you drinking?

I'll have a tap beer.

You Major Charles Rane?

Yes, mam.

Bebe, the man's thirsty.

Oh, well, you sure shouldn't be.

Pay no attention to the village idiot.

I been hopin' to run into you like this.

Would you believe that I was gonna slip you my number

that day that they gave you those dumb silver dollars?

You being married and all, I just like, "Whoa, baby,

get ahold of yourself."

Thank you.

This round's on Eddie, Major.

The bartender.

Oh, would you thank him for me, please.

Well, happy days-

Here's lookin' at you.

Here's lookin' at you.

You're the strong, silent type, aren't you?

No, I'm just a little rusty on my small talk.

Hey, I didn't mean anything bad.

I don't mind carrying the ball.

Shoot, it's a pleasure after all the fat,

maudlin drunks I have to put up with.

Well, I gotta be gettin' back anyway.

You know, I'd like you to thank your friends for me.

That was really nice.

And uh... I'd like to thank you too

for wearing my bracelet all that time.

I really appreciate that.

It's the very least I could do.

I'd like to do more.

Yeah, well...

Well, come back and see me now, okay?

Uh, Wednesday through Sunday night.

Sure, I'll be glad to.

Bye.

Bye.

Come on in, Major and have a seat.

Hello, Major.

Saw you on TV, you looked good.

You really did, you looked good.

We also saw 'em give you a whole shitload full a silver dollars.

And me and the boys, we were in the neighborhood

and we thought maybe you should give us

some a them silver dollars.

Hm?

Now, if you'll just be so kind as to tell us where all that money is,

then we can just be on our way.

No fuss, no muss.

Ain't gonna do it.

Well, these are mean old boys.

They can make you tell me where the money is.

Melio.

I didn't hear you, boy.

Now, you are gonna tell us where that money is sooner or later.

I would suggest sooner...

'cause later may be too late.

He ain't cooperating worth a shit.

Slim.

Get him up, Melio.

Now, don't give me any of that officer hard shit.

'Cause I was right there in Nam with rest of you.

Except I was laying face down in the mud

while you cats was flyin' over.

Come on.

Now, whatta you got to say?

Rane... Major Charles W.

396-84-69.

He's a rough old boy, ain't he?

This dude's crazy.

He ain't gonna do too well in the information department.

God damn you.

I'll make this motherfucker talk, fetch him.

You ready to talk to us now, boy?

I don't think we gonna get them silver dollars.

Oh, shit, Slim, we'll get 'em, we'll get 'em.

Jefe, la puerta.

Well, get it!

- Come on. - Charley?

Who are you?

Charley?

Shut up!

Oh, my God.

Lady, your husband...

He's got a whole bag a silver dollars and he's got 'em hid from me.

Now, I want them silver dollars.

And if I don't get 'em, he's gonna die.

No, don't hurt him.

No don't, please don't.

I know where he hid 'em.

Show me, come on.

You dumb asshole.

How does it feel to have gone through all this shit for nothin'?

You could have saved yourself a lot of grief.

Oh, now, Slim, you know a hero, he don't work like that.

Charley, why didn't you tell him?

I'll tell you why, lady...

'Cause he's one macho motherfucker.

Slim, you and T Bird, you take the wagon

and Melio and I will meet you in Nuevo Laredo.

- Fat Ed's? - Yeah.

Melio.

They're cuttin' new orders for me, Major.

I wasn't gonna re-up, but I figure with cupe time

got me ten years and if I hang in another ten,

I'll get me a pension.

Well, you should stay in, John.

All you have to do is collect your check.

Hell, what am I gonna do when them ten years are up?

I guess you re-up for another ten.

After all, they ain't gonna dig no oil wells in your back yard, are they?

Hell, no.

I guess one jerk-off job's good as another one is.

How's your wife?

Real good.

Oh, it's hard gettin' used to home life again.

You know, gettin' used to bein' with a woman.

You wanna head back?

Yeah, sure, might as well.

Thank you, John.

Pretty slick, ain't it?

Oh, yeah.

Figure out how to work it yet?

Mm-hm, and I've been practicing too.

You ought to get the hang of it pretty soon.

They'll catch them son of a bitches, Major, they'll catch 'em.

I suppose.

Can't just let it slide, Major, they don't have any right to live.

Hi.

Hey, listen, I can come back later.

Oh, no, that's all right, come on in.

Sit down.

Linda Forchet, this here is John Vohden.

We were together.

- I'm pleased to meet you. - How do you do?

Well, I guess I better get goin', Major,

I gotta long drive back to El Paso.

We'll see you.

Yeah, John.

Thanks for comin'.

I'll see you real soon.

' BYE, Miss. - Bye.

- Bye, Major. - Take care, John.

Uh, I'm gonna put these in some water.

You tryin' to tell me you ain't got anything better to do?

Oh, sure, my life is just a mad world of parties and rich boyfriends.

It wouldn't make any difference what I was doin'.

I'd still wanna come see you.

Why?

Got yourself a groupie, Major.

What's a groupie?

That word's a little after my time.

Well, a groupie is a girl who falls in love with a rock star

or a movie star.

Somebody she didn't know.

Worships him and...

knows she's never gonna meet him.

But, uh...

if she ever does, she'll do anything for him.

Anything she can.

It's been six weeks.

And we're gettin' nowhere.

Wish you could remember something...

A name, a face, an accent, anything.

I can't.

You sure about that, Charley?

I can't even remember how this happened.

I know.

Sorry.

I just came from the cemetery.

Took some flowers.

Graves look real nice.

Oh, God.

I wanna get my hands on them murderin' bastards.

Well, that'll pass, Cliff.

Everything passes.

X- ray technician, please call the emergency room.

X- ray technician, call...

- Just, uh, sign your... - Hello, Major.

Yeah, I wanna sign the Major in, please.

Okay-

- How are you today? - Fine, how are you?

Taking Major home?

- That's right. - Good.

- You take good care. - I will.

IV Nurse to Four West, stat.

- Okay, that'll be fine. - Okay, thank you, take care.

- You all set? - Yeah.

Good-bye, Major.

Sure you wouldn't rather stay at a hotel now?

I'm sure.

I'll pick you up Monday morning at about, uh, 10 o'clock, okay?

That's fine.

You know, I really do think I can help you, Charley.

Well, I'm sure you can, Doc.

I think we give it our best shot on Monday mornin'.

Why don't you just, uh... pull over and let me out by the mailbox.

See you Monday morning then, huh?

You need some help with this bag?

No, I can get it, thank you.

How ya doin'?

Well, I was just startin' to get mad at you for not calling.

Hey, listen, I'm gonna go on down to Mexico for a couple of clays.

- You wanna come with me? - When you leavin'?

Now.

I get off at two, why don't you stick around and have a drink?

I gotta go now.

What do you expect me to do, just drop everything?

Wednesday was always a slow night.

Where we goin'?

Well, we're gonna head down toward Nuevo Laredo.

What's there?

Some people I used to know.

What are we gonna do?

Be sociable.

Okay, I'm ready.

Okay, so what do you want me to do, ask for Fat Ed?

That's right.

I wish you'd come in there with me.

I'm gonna come in right behind you.

I'm gonna surprise him.

Do you know a guy named Fat Ed?

No Comprende.

I'm lookin' for a guy named Fat Ed.

Fat Ed, uh, I don't know anybody by that name.

Fat Ed?

I know Fat Ed.

He's a good friend of mine.

You want to talk to him?

Yeah, um, he's a friend of a friend.

You want to talk to Fat Ed?

I will take you to him.

Follow me.

I'm Lopez.

Why do you want to see Fat Ed?

I told you, now where is he?

He'll be here.

Fat Ed likes beautiful gringo girls.

I like beautiful gringo girls.

Everybody likes beautiful gringo girls.

Fat Ed, he always takes care of his friends.

What do you mean?

We share.

It's okay. It's okay.

- Mister, - It's okay.

You've got the wrong idea!

Oh, no, I don't think so.

- It's... - Well, I do!

It's okay, it's okay.

Charley, what the hell is this?

Wait for me in the car.

Wait a fucking minute, man!

You don't tell nobody where to go!

She stays here...

Get on your fuckin' knees.

Please!

Put your hands behind your head.

Put your forehead on the ground.

And don't move.

Now, I wanna know where Fat Ed is

or I'm gonna kill you.

Honest, senor, I don't know no Fat Ed.

I was just lying.

I'm in a hurry.

I don't know, I don't know!

You tellin' me you never heard of Melio,

T Bird, or Automatic Slim?

Wait, please, please, senor.

Those sound like 'cuna boys.

Go to Acuna.

Ask for Billy Sanchez at El Lobo.

He knows everybody.

I don't know nobody.

Please, mister, please!

You could lose a hand like that.

Why'd you set me up in there?

- Move over. - Who the hell is Fat Ed?

I thought I was takin' off with you for a good time.

You're lookin' for those guys, aren't you?

Aren't you!

You know who they are, don't you?

Don't you!

Some of them.

Well, why don't you just tell the police?

'Cause I want to find all of them.

Man, I have had it with lying men, Charley.

The ones that say one thing and they do another.

The ones that always let you down.

Are you gonna let me down?

It depends on what you're lookin' for.

Right now, I'm gonna take you to Acuna.

That's miles from here and I'm dog tired.

Come on, climb in the back seat and go to sleep.

Why do I always get stuck with crazy men?

Man!

'Cause that's the only kind that's left.

Charley.

My, uh, brother-in-law took off on me.

He got pissed at my sister and split.

I'd like you to run him down for me.

You know, put out a 10-29 on him unofficially.

I don't know.

Come on, it wouldn't be the first time.

Okay, but now you owe me one.

All right.

Listen, it's a 1973 red Cadillac convertible.

Texas license number, temporary, 3-8-0-2 William.

Now, listen, when you find him,

I don't want you to pull him over or nothin'.

You just call me, understand?

Remember, you're in barrel if anybody finds out.

Don't worry, I'll cover you.

- Okay, later. - All right.

This is a 10-29, 73 red Cadillac convertible.

You look better.

Does that mean I look good?

Sure does.

Well, anything would be an improvement.

Hope you're not just stringin' me along, Charley Rane.

Hope that's not all you're doin'.

I don't have to do that, do I?

Maybe you do.

How old do you think I am?

Twenty-five.

Almost thirty.

I've been around the course a couple times now.

Well, you sure don't look it.

Well, I do in the morning,

after I've been out partying all night.

I do when I'm sittin' alone brooding about some worthless man.

I've had a few of 'em, you know?

What are you gettin' at?

Only that you can trust me.

And I wanna know I can trust you.

I wanna help.

Let's get outta here.

Why don't we tell them?

Forget it.

Poor Linda, here she goes again.

Hey, Jim, wasn't that the car?

I think it was.

They said no arrest, though, just to call in on it.

Go ahead and get me some coffee.

- Cliff? - Yo.

Your sister better be good looking.

'Cause your brother-in-law's got a real piece a ass with him.

Yeah, where are they?

Outside Del Rio headin' across to Acuna on Highway 90.

Okay, thanks, Bob.

Listen, I'll call you for any updates, okay?

You bet.

Do you know a guy named Billy Sanchez?

Why are you lookin' for him?

He ain't no good for nothin'.

I don't want him for nothin'.

I just want to talk to him.

He ain't even good for that.

- Hey, Billy? - Yeah.

Lady here wants to talk to you.

Hello, lady.

What's your name?

I'm lookin' for a guy named Fat Ed.

I was told to ask for him here.

I'm a friend of his from San Antone.

That lucky old horse!

How does he get a friend like you, ugly as he is, huh?

What's your name, baby?

Shari.

I was supposed to meet him here a couple days ago,

but I got into somethin' else.

Aww, you mean, something else got into you.

Ed wouldn't like that kind of talk.

He ain't here to hear it.

When over to the Dean house in El Paso.

Where's that?

Around La Colina Road.

Uh, did they all go over?

Yeah, all except Automatic Slim.

- He's still here. - In Acuna?

Yeah, hey, uh, why don't you wait around?

He'll be back in a couple of minutes.

He'll drive you over to El Paso if you're really a friend of Fat Ed.

No, that's okay, I got my own car.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

I gotta go.

Hey, come on, one drink ain't gonna slow you down!

I said no thanks!

Charley, come on, let's go, this is gettin' ugly.

Start the car.

What kind of hustle you two puttin' down, huh?

You been lookin' for me, Major?

Let me have him.

Oh! Shit!

Let him go! Let him go!

Get away, get away from-

Let me... you gotta get away from him!

When we get to El Paso, I am gone.

You know, I'm not one to leave a man in trouble.

But man, you don't deserve any better.

I thought I could help you, but that was a big mistake.

The same damn mistake I always make.

Well, the best thing that I could do for you right now

is just tell the police.

That's right, I'm gonna tell the police.

And man, if you won't do it, I will.

And you're not gonna change my mind.

What is wrong with you?

You're drivin' too slow.

Where are you gain'?

I'm not staying in any car with any damn lunatic!

Then get out!

Get out.

Get out.

God damn it!

Charley!

I'm all you got.

You feeling better now?

Better than what?

Better than before?

I should be askin' you that question.

You don't have to worry about me.

I remember that song from when I was alive.

Alive?

That's what we used to call the time before we were captured.

That's a hell of a wake-up call.

What you doin'?

Practicin'.

Must be plannin' on some point-blank shootin'.

Sawin' off the barrels don't give you much distance.

I haven't used one in years.

But I guess you never forget.

I grew up around 'em.

Where was that?

Just around.

My daddy was a master sergeant in the army.

Still is.

He teach you how to shoot?

Ride too.

See, he wanted a boy and he got three girls.

Uh, or I should say two girls and a tomboy.

I'm kinda the black sheep.

Why are you the black sheep?

Well, I eloped when I was 17.

My mama was a churchgoin' lady.

She didn't like me very much 'cause I was my father's favorite.

So, uh...

she just acted like I was killin' her.

Guess they were right, though.

I only stayed married for a year.

I wish we had somethin' more exciting to shoot at.

Hiya.

No has visto un Cadillac rojo?

Si.

God, look at me, what a mess.

I'm gonna need a vacation when this vacation's over.

I feel like I been gone for two years instead a two days.

Sure would like to soak in a hot tub.

Where are you goin' now, on parade or somethin'?

You don't have to get all spruced up for me.

I like a little naturalness in a man.

Doesn't your friend live here?

The one I met in the hospital?

No.

Johnny Vohden?

No.

He said he lived in El Paso.

Well, he doesn't.

Will you sit down and relax?

You know, you don't have to do any of this.

You don't have to go after these guys.

You could just jump in the car and go a thousand miles from here

and nobody'd know any different.

Bury the guns in the desert.

Are you just staying with me for a while?

Hold me?

Charley, I love you.

He knows about your car.

The boy, he says you're, uh, looking for a yankee

that drives a big red Cadillac?

That's right.

Five dollars.

A Yankee, huh?

- With a big steel hand? - Yeah.

He was here.

Where'd he go?

That will be five more dollars.

Ten altogether.

Yes?

There was a big fight and... now he's gone.

Where?

Why do you want to find him?

Hey, look, I'm payin', I ask the questions.

Well, if you want some answers, you have to pay a little more.

Where the fuck did you get this, huh?

Hey.

Charley, you're the quietest man I've ever known.

That's 'cause I can't think of anything to say.

It's like my eyes are open and I'm lookin' at you, but I'm dead.

They've pulled out whatever it was inside of me.

It never hurt at all after that and it never will.

Charley?

What?

Are we goin' back to San Antone?

If you want to.

How 'bout you?

I don't care if I ever see that town again.

Good, then let's go

as far away as we can get.

Let's go someplace cold.

Let's go to Alaska.

Well, Alaska's cold.

People don't do anything but just stay inside.

And sit in front of the fireplace.

And make love all day long.

Please tell me we're goin'.

Charley?

Charley.

Operator.

Yeah, uh, let me have the number for the police department.

- Emergency? - Yes.

- 7-2-2-2-1. - Thank you.

El Paso Police Station.

That there is the last American factory made convertible.

No more convertibles?

No, mam, those things cost a fortune too.

The Japanese)“ start making 'em.

That's what happens.

We'll be buyin' our Cadillac convertibles from Japan.

Japan, I ain't buyin' nothin' from no Japs.

The only color Pop recognizes is white.

Well, even white people don't make things any good any more.

I bought a U.S. made TV because I wanted to buy American.

And it broke down in three weeks.

When the repairman came to fix it,

he said all the parts were made in Japan anyway.

So, next time I'm gonna buy one straight from Japan.

Don Visser's got a car like the major's.

You remember Don Visser, don't you, John.

- No. - 'Course you do.

He went to high school right around the time you did.

He went on to play for the Cowboys for two years.

Hell, he knows who Don Visser is.

Everybody knows who Don Visser is.

Come on, Susan, let's take a look at that roast.

I'll help ya.

Excuse me.

John, uh, can I talk to you for a minute?

Oh, yeah.

- Excuse me. - Make yourself at home.

Say, Pop, can I have one of them cigars?

How's that?

I say, can I have one of them cigars?

Oh, you betcha, boy.

Well, I'm sorry about all this, Major.

That's all right, John.

I found them.

Who?

The men who killed my son.

I'll just get my gear.

They're in a whorehouse over in Juarez right now.

There's the four that came into my home

and there's eight or ten others.

Let's go clean 'em up.

Johnny, come on in, everything's ready.

Uh, me and the major are gonna go out and, uh, get some beer.

We'll be back after while.

Well, what about your dinner?

And why you wearing that thing?

He never wears his uniform when I ask him to.

Good-bye, Daddy.

Bye! SQ“.

Well, where are you goin'?

Y'all get back here soon.

They're all inside there now.

There's a Texan with beige boots

and a tall, skinny guy with a straw hat who I want,

and there's a couple of Mexicans.

Well, they'll recognize me,

so why don't you go in through the front

and pick up a hooker, take her on upstairs.

When you hear me comin',

I'm gonna be tappin' my gun just like that.

When you hear that, get yourself set.

And when you hear me shootin', come on out.

Hey, soldier, you wanna get married?

Not to you, muchacha.

Got any nice American girls here?

Take a look around, gringo.

Maybe you'll find your sister.

I want a cervesa, por favor.

Que clase de cervesa, mister?

Carta Blanca.

See anything you like?

Oh, yeah.

Thirty minutes, thirty dollars.

God damn, I wanted to rent you, not buy you.

If you're looking for a cheap thrill, why don't you go to the dog races?

Lead on.

Follow me.

Soldier.

Let's go.

Now, take your time, sweetheart.

If I take some of my time,

I'm gonna take a hell of a lot more of your money.

Well, you'll get it if you're worth it.

That's what I like to hear.

Pues, gringo, pa' donde vas?

Do you wanna fuck or what?

I'm havin' a problem.

You're gonna have to help me.

Shit.

Relax.

It's your time, boy.

What the fuck are you doin'?

I'm gonna kill a bunch a people.

Adios, boys.

Hey!

Major.

Get your ass on down here, fly-boy.

Let's go home, John.
