Subtitles: manno

Good morning, señor

Welcome señor Billy, your brother is right over there

Here you are señor

-Fifty -Raise a hundred

I call

-Three kings -Full house

-Let me see 'em -What is it, don't you believe me?

then just ask my brother

Your brother? OK, I believe you

-Cover -Billy, wait up

I wanna talk to you

You gotta stop treating me that way. I am a man now

Billy, take me with you. You won't regret it

Take me with you. Look, let me show you how I handle this

Here, watch this

-That's about as good as you can do with the six-gun -Ah-ha. I don't ride around for my health you know

-I know Billy, but take me with you -If they didn't hang me yet

it's because I take care of my own business. Alone.

Without witnesses

Drink waters out of thine own cistern

and running waters out of thine own dwell. Proverbs

Now, you and your bible

I have information that is worth $30.000. Are you interested?

But first you gotta promise that you'll take me with ya.

There's a little town about 35 miles across the border

and in the bank there is a safe with about $30.000 in it

Tomorrow the whole town is gonna be in church. You know why?

Because the sheriff is getting hitched.

Billy we could be down there, pick up the dough and in a couple of hours be over the border

Do you wanna know what this place is? You interested?

-Uh? -River Town.

I don't linke it, we were born in that town.

Well, so what? Are you getting sentimental all of a sudden?

Or is it because you're scared of Pat Garrett?

I'm not afraid of no one, including Garrett.

-I'm sorry, I'll come back later -It's alright, I was just going

-I'm so glad you're back -You wanna do me a favour?

What is it?

Leave me alone

A word or two, before I continue. All of us in River Town

are grateful to our friend and sheriff, Pat Garrett who has met his match, at last

And now as he's about to begin his brand new career as a husband

I'm sure you will all join with me in wishing him and his lovely bride good luck and every happiness

Do you Patrick Garrett, take this woman, Martha Coogan to be your lawful wedded wife?

For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health

-to love and to cherish, till death do you part? -I do

-Let's lock up, and go over -OK

I'd like to wish them luck anyhow

-If you do this the whole town will be wiped out -That's the life savings of our people here

-George Clanton. -Too bad they recognized you

now we'll have to get rid of them. Go ahead, use your knife. They'd hear the shots

-Kill 'em! -I can't do it, Billy. I can't.

What happened? Where did the shots come from?

-I think it was from the bank. -Yeah it was from the bank, let's go.

-Get the doctor

No, you can't go in

-Who did this? -Billy Clanton and his brother, George.

They took everything. Tell Martha...

Let me through

Charlie! Charlie!

Come with me

They only have a few minutes ahead of us

The border is less than 50 miles from here

We'll have to get 'em before they cross

But if they do get across the border what are you going to do, Pat?

Would you follow them into Mexico?

Mexico has become too good a hideout for outlaws these days

I gotta put a stop to it the only way that I can

It's not exactly the best moment for it, is it?

No my darling, it isn't the best moment

Alright, let's get moving

-What are you stopping for? -That's Mexico on the other side of the river, Pat

We're already 20 miles beyond the county line

We're chasing a couple of killers we can't stop now

Over there, Pat, we ain't the law and them Mexican rowdies don't take kindly to us

If these men get away with this now, you know what that would mean?

same thing would happen in every town on the border. It's your duty!

At 20 dollars a month our duty ends here

-Sorry Pat -Uh-uh. Well, I can't force you

But at 30 dollars a month, I gotta bring those men back

I'm thinking that Martha Coogan is about to become the youngest and newest widow in River Town.

Good luck Pat

-It's Pat Garrett. -This is gonna be his last ride

What is this, playing war?

You an American?

Alright, don't answer me. But you fired at me, and I'm a sheriff, so I'm arresting you

You are the sheriff? You're not one of Santero's men?

Hands up

-Looks like everyone is against me today -Don't be afraid of him, Agnes.

-He's an American sheriff -I'd better introduce myself

-I'm Pat Garrett. -Oh, you're the sheriff from River Town.

Pleased to meet you, I'm Mike Goddard

-and this is my sister, Agnes. -Howdy

-Do you two have an habit to shoot at anybody you don't know? -We thought you were one of Santero's gang mr. Garrett

he's a Mexican outlaw. We're on our way to Corona

our wagon is right over there

When we saw you with that gun, we figured you were one of them

- I had an accident, I lost my horse. Would there be room for me? - Sure thing

I'm always anxious to get through these fields as quick as possible

meeting up with the bandits would be mighty unpleasant

And turning over at the rate we're going. That'd be pretty unpleasant too

Don't worry Agnes is a real good driver

Now listen. See Mike, the cocking of a pistol

has a special sound that a trained ear can't miss

Lucky for me back in those ruins you didn't know about that.

You have to pull the hammer back slowly

-Like this, see? -Ah-ha, can I try?

-I'll know how to do it right next time -Just listen to how you talk

He is right, he's old enough to learn to use a weapon

No, I meant Mike always speaks just like his mouth has some rocks in it

- That's why we're going to Corona, on account of his teeth - We're going to see dr. Martinez, he was a friend of my father

Was? Is your father dead?

Our mother, too. We just have each other. Papa left us a small ranch 10 miles from the border.

Mike and me have been running it by ourselves

We're doing real good with it

-Are you alone also? Don't you have family? -He's got a ring, he's married

I didn't see it

Just today Four hours and twenty minutes ago

Welcome, senores.

If you don't mind, I'd rather get off here and walk

I have good reasons for wanting to go to town some other way

Well bear in mind, if you need anything our ranch is just off the main road

between Devil's Valley and the border. So long mr. Garrett. Come see us

I'll do that, thanks very much. Bye.

So long, sheriff.

Here is your tequila George

Did you ever see anybody die? Right before your eyes?

Oh si, one time I saw this. When my mother in law died. With god's blessing.

I've seen three men die. All in one day. Murdered.

-I'm a coward, you know that? -Calm down, George. Take it easy

I had my knife in my hand and the blade was open

but I couldn't kill them, you understand?

I couldn't, Manuel. I can't kill a man just like that

Si, amigo. I understand. But you must try to take it easy

Sorry but my house is full, there are no more rooms. But I'll give you my room if you wish.

No thanks, I don't want a room senor. But tell that boy in there

I wanna see him. Just show him this

- I'm coming, senor - I'll wait here

Alright George, it's finished now. The party is over

You're coming back to River Town with me

What are you doing here? You're dead! Pat Garrett is dead!

No, not yet son

-Where is your brother? -I won't tell ya

- Alright, you gonna tell me where he is? - Nope

-Talk, where is he? -Billy is upstairs, with a woman

Say one word, I put a bullet in ya

I haven't see you and your brother Billy for a long time!

Glad I caught up with you!

Look out, Billy! Look out!

George. George.

Manuel! Manuel!

They're killing each other, call the police

-What are they doing? -Don't ask dumb questions. Get the police, hurry!

-I'm gonna bleed to death? -Nah, this looks bad but it won't kill you

You're more likely to be dying of a sore throat

Hanging from a tree

-I didn't kill anybody, Garrett -You tell 'em that at the trial

-I'm not a judge, I'm just a sheriff -You got no right to arrest me here

-We're in Mexican territory -You have one bad habit, George

You talk too much

This way, quick

They're there, quick

Police!

Open in the name of the law. Open this door!

They must have gone out this way. They most likely head for the border

We have to telegraph the border guards

to stop them before they cross

Yes, sir

-How these man look? -I didn't see them so good

But this last one who came, he was dressing black. A gringo

he was very tall. He had the face of a real criminal, I think.

Vamos, we may still be able to catch them

Calm down, take it easy Billy. You and your brother are both my prisoners

Time to get out. Before you try any funny business, remember it'd be easier for me to kill you right here.

Get going

Don't try that again, Billy. Move.

I can't go any further, my arm hurts me too much

Garrett are you gonna make us walk back to River Town?

-Ain't going back to River Town. -I think you're going back, alright!

I know the law, Pat. This is Mexico, not the United States

Here in Mexico, you're not a sheriff. You're nobody

But I'm still gonna kill you, if you try any more of your tricks

The minute we meet a Mexican border patrol, they will set us free. You know that, Pat

I wouldn't rely too heavy on that, the route I intead to take

-we're not likely to meet any border patrols -What? You're gonna cross the Devil's Valley?

You must be out of your mind to think that you would make it on foot

I didn't say I was gonna cross it on foot

Now get moving

Where can I find your boss?

I need three horses, and food and water for three days

You heard the senor, Pablo? See to it

-How much is it? -Two thousand dollars, senor.

Are you crazy? Two thousand dollars for three horses?

No, my horses are not worth so much of course. Two hundred dollars would be high.

20 dollars would be plenty for the food, senor. The water is expensive here.

-Forget it! -One moment

just remember this senor: all the water is free in the village

but there are also many police there, uh?

You'll have to give me a receipt for the two thousand

Naturally. I'll make one for you right now, senor.

Senor.

-How much for these? -Nothing, consider it as a gift

Pablo, saddle up my horse

You think you're smart don't you, Pat? But let me tell you something

The desert is tough and so am I

I've got 21 notches on my gun

and before we reach the border

I'll have one more

Don't waste your time bragging, Billy. The desert is tough, tougher than both of us

I can't go on. My arm.

Get down.

-Where is Santero? I must see him. -He's upstairs, senor.

-I wanna speak to Santero -Sit down.

-What is this all about? -Mucho dinero

Thousands of dollars

Carla, get out. You Miguel, stay

-Alright, talk -A bank was robbed yesterday in River Town, Santero

and I know where the money is. Over 30 thousand dollars.

Will you give me 10% if I tell you where?

So you want 10%, uh? The trouble with you is that you're much too greedy

But we can make a deal. Go on

Now that the bullet is out the wound can heal

This is gonna hurt you'd better bite hard on this

It's alright Goerge. Now when this arm heals, you'll be able to use it as well as you ever did

-I'm gonna be sick. I'm sick -Nah, two friends of mine in River Town

-under six feet of dirt are worse off than you are, my boy -But I didn't kill anyone, I couldn't

-Billy, you tell him, please! Tell him you did it -Sure I killed 'em kid. But what's the difference?

You're not eating?

- I'm not hungry, just thirsty. Can I have a drink? - Coffee?

- No, water - Here you are

Looks a lot better. When we get to Texas, a doctor will look at it

A nursemaid, huh

You're feeling so kind hearthed tonight, why don't we have a little chat. You, me, and the kid here.

You got married yesterday

didn't you, Pat?

That's right... I've been married 32 hours

But you had to leave right after the wedding, huh?

Tough luck. I mean, not having a honeymoon

Still, probably it's all for the best Pat

On account that most likely, you ain't gonna come back to her alive

But just supposing you make it, what do you have to offer her, Garrett?

Your wages, huh? A $30 or so a month? That's what you makin', ain't it?

And then you start having kids. Two, three, four. I know you Garrett, you want a whole flock of brats.

I can just see you getting poorer and poorer

You ain't smart, Pat

I know. 30 thousand is a lot of money, even divided three ways, isn't it?

That's right. If you split with us, who would know the difference

There's still another possibility

I, Pat Garrett, who you think as a crooked sheriff

fire two shots, nobody would ever know the difference

I'd have the whole $30.000 to myself. $28.000, that is

We are ready to attack

No, we wait. Till they are asleep

Then, there is no risk

Watch out, Garrett!

Those two must have been part of Santero's gang, there sure will be others

That's what they're after, that fella I got the horses from must be an informer

If they get to jump on us, they'll kill all 3 of us so we've gotta take turns keeping watch. You first Billy

And now? Do we attack?

No. Now we can no longer surprise them

We must wait

This is not the right moment, Miguel. But have patience, our time will come

Vamos.

You're getting old pal. You get tired too quick

Are you thirsty? Why not have a drink?

- I'll wait - Have a drink if you want it, you are the sheriff. Come on. Go ahead, we're not thirsty

We still have a long way to go

We all have to hold out till the night

Please let me have some water, I've got a fever. Please let me wet my lips

I told ya I wasn't thirsty. But you will be, Pat

Get going!

Billy, why did you throw away our water?

Our friend Garrett is trying to figure that out too, kid. Maybe, it's because I wanted to

Hey, Garrett, me and George ain't been back in River Town for a long time

How is everybody there?

-How about that old drunk, doc Jacobs. Is he still alive? -Yup

And the preacher. Does it still take him

two hours to finish the sermon?

Tell me Garrett. Who did you marry?

Martha Coogan

George, did you hear that?

Say, you got yourself hitched to Martha Coogan.

After everybody went with her but me, I left before it was my turn

Why don't you fight like a man. Go ahead, untie my hands

No, Patt. You still got your pistol

We're even

Up! On your feet

Just like a promised you, Garrett I'm gonna kill you

I don't know if I'll shoot you or leave you here in the desert

Stop! That's as far as you go

I may be old, Billy, but I'm not foolish

Now, you mount up and don't try any tricks

On the right, quick!

Come on

-Damn! -The desert is our friend, Miguel

That money is much safer out there than in a bank

Vamos!

Let's make camp here. At least we'll have some shade

-I'm hungry, when do we eat? -You out of your mind?

all we've got is solid food

You know Garrett

I saw a man die of thirst. He was just about your age

First, he swelled up you see. And then he went clean off is head

He was yelling with his mouth open and a swallen tongue like this

He put on a real good show before he finally died

Billy, tell me. Why did you do it? Our water!

I shouldn't have took you along, George. Stop acting like a baby

Garrett, oh Garrett please. Find something to drink. I have to drink I'm dying of thirst!

King Solomon, Psalm 72: They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations

He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass

as showers that water the earth

On your feet

What's the matter? A snake?

Don't move

There's a rattle snake under his blanket

Shoot it

If I shoot I'm more likely to hit George than the snake and it'll bite him anyway

Hold still

Billy?

He got away with the money

Yeah, Billy got away alright. But he didn't get away with the money

I put the money in here while he slept

Let's get going before the sun gets any higher

Pebbles

I'm beginning to like this gringo sheriff

There are only two of them Santero

Why don't we attack them

right now and get this business over with, huh?

No, we're too few too attack

Till the others reach us we'll keep following them, Miguel

Billy.

Billy!

Billy.

Billy.

I'm sorry, George. But at least they won't hang him

Naked came I out of my mother's womb and naked shall I return thither

The Lord gave, the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the lord

Amen

George, here's his bible

Come on, George. Get up, we've gotta go find some water

He's done for, get on my horse

Maybe we'll find a lake. A cool lake

With a waterfall. I'm gonna drink for a week

There's no lake, save your breath

No lake? How do you know that there's no lake? Then this isn't the right direction!

They wouldn't call it the Devil's Valley if there was a lake in it, George

And I know we have to cross those mountains there

Billy knows the way

-We'll go to Chihuahua where nobody can find us -Yeah, sure

Me and Billy, he'll show me how to use a gun the way he does. When we get there

Look Billy!

Look, do you see it?

A town!

Look

A real town

First we'll go to the saloon. Then we'll get a room and have a good bath!

There's nothing here, George. It's a ghost town

Now we've gotta keep moving

if we wanna cross those mountains by sundown

Look there, barber shop

Hey I'm gonna get me a shave!

You see? There's a tailor!

Look Billy! Come on, let's get a drink!

May 1877

That's the last entry. It must have been a mining town

I guess it just died, when the ore was all used up

You gotta pull yourself together, George. Come on, let's go

No

George!

-Head for that mine over there, I'll cover you -But they'll kill me!

Go on!

-Were you hit? -No.

Hey, gringo! This is Santero

-Can you hear me, gringo? -Shoot him, why don't you?

I can't reach him from here without a winchester.

Come on out, what are you waiting for?

Hey, look what we've got!

You must be thirsty. You like a drink?

I wanna drink!

Get back, are you loco? They'll kill you

Here it is, all the water you want! Very cheap, only thirty thousand

Mike. Mike.

There are two men over there coming in from the desert

Go inside

Pat!

Agnes, it's alright! It's Pat Garrett.

-Hi,Pat. -Hi

- So glad to see you again - Same here boy

How come you're coming from the east? Did you come across the desert?

You're talking a lot better

Look

Hi Pat!

What happened out there?

-An accident -Who's he?

-A friend of mine -How terrible!

Come inside

Oh, you poor thing

-That wound looks awful -It's nothing

Nothing? It's very bad, it's all inflamed

Bring me some alcohol, bendages, and lots of hot water right away

We haven't much time, we have to get moving

But Pat you can't move now

You better wait and let his wound heal

You know what's in this bag? 28 thousand dollars

And Santero wants what's in here. If we stay here, you'll be in trouble

What do I care? Are you trying to scare me?

I'm ready, I got my pistol

Your friend is much too weak to move

Let's go, Pat. I'm feeling much better.

Thank you

Keeps perfect time, Pat. I bought it myself

With the first dollar I ever earned

I'd say that clock was a pretty good buy, Mike

-Like some more? -No, thanks

Isn't that "Oh Alice"?

-I used to play it all the time -How about playing it for us?

Alright now let's go to bed my little darling

Bravo!

-I never saw Agnes take on like that -Thanks, you play real pretty too

Thank you

Anybody can play on this. See?

Wait till I get my hands on you!

Mother and father

Aren't they lovely? They were very happy

I'm sure you would love them

-Are your folks still alive? -No, I've been an orphan ever since I was a kid

I've just got a brother... I had a brother

Look here

-Here this was his gun -A colt. Let me feel it

It really is something, ain't it?

Here, put it away

-What's the matter? -It's nothing

Well, you're finally getting some sense hey, George

-George, would you help me? -Well I'm willing to help, but I don't know how to do it

It's really easy, I'll show you

I'm sorry

That's it

They're all around the house. What are we gonna do?

-My God -Mike.

Mike, get away from that window

Everybody keep down. George, put off the lights

This is what I was afraid of

I should have known he wouldn't give up that easy

-Pat where are you going? -I'm going out there

Because your lives are worth more than this money

No, you don't know what Santero is capable of

Even if you gave him the money, wouldn't be any use

he'll attack the ranch anyway and kill us all

that way he'll be able to get rid of dangerous witnesses

Bar the door. Agnes, get the ammunition

-Mike, you go in the other room -Yes Pat

Hold it

Alright

Now these gringos are too many for us, we can do nothing till Paco gets here with the others

He should be here real quick I think

He rides like the wind when he gets the smell of money

See, you're right. He'll be here too quick. That's what's wrong

-What do you mean? -We've only five men left, but

Paco has twenty men. They will get full shares if they help us

Still, we should wait

-No -I think there will be only 3 or 4 of us if we attack again

I have a plan, Miguel

-Oh, my -Here

Here they come

Everybody outside

You go outside

Come

Cover the well

Where is Mike?

Mike!

Mike.

Mike.

-Mike, are you hurt? -No, I'm alright. I just swallowed some smoke

Let the horses out of the barn

-Where is George? -He got away on his horse

Don't waste 'em. We must wait now for the others

What are they waiting for, they got us trapped here

It's useless, I'm gonna surrender

Hold your fire. Stop shooting

Just let me make sure they're not stones again Gringo, huh?

Oh, it's George!

Take his mount Are you Sheriff Pat Garrett?

-Yeah -Captain Mackenzie.

You got here just in time

You can thank George here for that Even with his wound

he rode nearly 20 miles to come and get us

-He is a good boy -What about that robbery?

-All the thieves are dead -Are you coming with us?

I've got to get this money back where it belongs

What about you George? You're going back?

I suggest you stay right here with Agnes, help her rebuild the farm

Thank you

So long, Mike.

Goodbye.

Troops!
