Dave.

Huh.

Oh, oh!

Well, chop my legs and call me Shorty, Vern.

Vern, ain't this swank?

Ain't this swank?

Close this thing.

Hey, take a look at this.

Take a look at this.

One sec, General

Santa Anna Bella herself, ooh.

Well, hello there.

Hello.

Mm-mm, hello there.

The spoils of war, son--

we grab what we can hold, and we cut out of here tonight.

Yes, sir. Whoa.

Whoa. You know, I don't know, Vern.

Vern.

Hey, Vern, you got to understand, uh, I'm--

I'm a hero now.

I saved the war secretary's life.

I heard you tripped over a bunch of Mexicans.

Eureka!

Holy shit.

Surrender, Mexican, or I'll kill

you deader than last Tuesday.

On your knees.

On your knees!

Are you alone?

Maybe.

Hands up.

Hands up!

Goddamn it, can't get it all now.

Got to come back before we head out.

Ah.

Well, goodness gracious.

What is this?

It's the mother lode, Santa Anna's treasure.

Well, you snakes weren't gonna tell me about it?

Well, why should we?

We found it.

Oh, lucky for me, so did I.

That there must be el presidente's tent.

Cover this shit up.

That's right. Hurry.

Cover it up.

All right.

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-wee!

Awful high falutin.

Looks like this place done been looted.

We was just pickin' up a few souvenirs, man.

Spoils of war and such.

Well, you know, looting could got

you court martialed and shot.

What, you mean, for a--

a token or two for, uh, our loyalty to Texas?

Listen up, all this belongs to the Texas government.

So if you don't mind, I'll take-- ah!

Captain, you all right?

Son of a bitch.

Damn!

Oh, look-it here.

Would you look at that, Santa Anna musta buried that, right?

Must've.

All of it.

Damn.

MAN IN CROWD:.

How 'bout that?

Woo!

It's tincture of opium, Sam, for the pain.

Wouldn't a warm whiskey work just as well?

General, you got to see this.

He needs to rest!

I need fresh air.

Fetch my clothes.

Haul me up, Tom.

At my count, we have over 20,000 pieces

of silver and gold, all of the Santa

Anna's personal valuables, sir.

General, we must give this to the people of Tejas.

Gentlemen, there is no discussion on this matter.

Funds seized from the enemy belongs to the newly

liberated republic.

It all goes to Texas.

Karnes, that soldier there, bring him to me.

Sir.

Flores, fetch Colonel Almonte.

Yes, sir.

Move!

I don't thing so.

Colonel Almonte.

Come on, sir.

So you're a private.

Si, senor.

Colonel Almonte, why do your men salute him?

Regretfully, I do not know my soldiers, sir.

That's too bad.

Private Pit, execute your prisoner.

Yes, sir.

No, private.

Lean him up against a tree so his brains don't splatter.

I am Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

Wait, he's Santa Anna?

And I am Sam Houston.

El Presidente General, I cannot express

how glad I am to meet you.

I ask to be treated as a should

be when made a prisoner of war.

Men, we captured Santa Anna!

We must convene a tribunal and execute him.

Get the firing squad!

Yeah!

The conqueror of the Napoleon of the West

can afford to be generous to the vanquished, no?

You should have remembered that, sir, at the Alamo.

At the Alamo your defenders chose to die.

You offered them no alternative.

.

Juan.

This is war, sir.

And no one here is good or bad, just winners and losers.

I acted on the orders from my government.

You are yourself the government.

That's damn right.

Texas formed a recognized government.

We are not pirates.

The rules of war apply.

General, why are we even talking to this murderer?

He needs to swing!

Firin' squad here and now!

Yeah!

Firing squad.

We want blood!

Well, that cannot happen.

The life of Santa Anna is of great value to us.

We execute him, he'd just be another dead soldier.

Let's take our reparations, open his war chest--

gold to every man in my command, equal shares for all those

who risked their lives.

Colonel Seguin, Colonel Sherman, show them in.

Divvy it up.

Yes, sir.

General, we're taking him.

Retribution goes hand in hand with victory.

Present your prisoner.

I will not.

All right, fine by me.

We end it all now.

My only reason for living is to slay him.

Ride on outta here while you can.

Shut your mouth, boy!

Shoot me first.

You don't think I will?

Soldiers, ready arms!

Don't fool yourself.

Santa Anna will die.

It's just a matter of how many of us he takes with him.

You understand me?

.

Come here, girl.

Come here.

You saved me today.

Oh, sweet girl.

No.

Oh, why'd you have to go do that for?

Why'd you do that?

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Come on, let's get you off that leg.

We'll get you off that leg, OK?

Oh.

You me faithfully.

You do me a favor.

You wait for me, you hear?

You wait for me.

You'll be seeing me real soon.

No, he's just a child.

Nits make lice.

We are done killing women and children.

Get out of here.

I aim to kill Mexicans.

And I ain't done yet.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Give me the boy.

Any word from Deaf?

No, general.

And Miss West?

Nothing, sir.

Very well.

You wanted to keep me alive, no?

Once you're gone, these men will hang.

Tell me something, your generals,

will they retreat once they're informed

you've been taken hostage?

No.

Their orders are to engage.

Then I recommend you rescind those orders.

So, you want Texas in exchange for my life, huh?

Sounds like a trade.

Only President Burnet can negotiate a treaty.

Well, he can't very well negotiate if el presidente here

is dead, now, can he?

Kit, are you sure you're fit to ride?

Hey now, don't fuss.

In case I need any attending to, Doc Ewing's

coming with the general.

I'll see you when I get back.

I certainly hope so, if you don't get yourself killed.

Hey, you got my medical bag packed up yet?

I'll be seeing you.

Sarah.

Where you heading to, Vern?

The war is over for me, Knowles.

I've done my duty.

Had my fill of taken orders.

Might head on down to Victoria.

Mmm.

Wanna know my guess?

You and Gator are going after that bank.

Gator is so full of bunkum if he

told me water was wet I'd have to poke my finger

and feel for myself.

Kit didn't trust him.

You ought not to neither.

Well, I ain't robbing no back.

I'm a hero now.

I have a reputation to uphold.

You know, if you want to ride your hero ass along with me,

you're welcome.

Well, no thank you, my friend.

I reckon I'll just stay put.

Good luck with that shit.

Tell them boys I say adios.

All right.

You lily-livered weasel.

How in hell am I'm supposed to take this bank by myself?

Why don't you recruit Karnes and Anderson?

Tom, I want you to ride on ahead to Burnet,

formalize our agreement with Santa Anna.

will take charge of the army while I'm away.

You get that leg healed up, Sam.

Texas needs you.

You're just going to leave me behind, is that it?

Well, I'll be damned.

I'd given up on you.

I had to lay Charmaine to rest.

Partner, damn, you look like something the cat dragged in

and the toad wouldn't eat.

Spit it on out.

Private Pit, the man that captured Santa Anna ought

to make a damn good ranger.

Your first assignment, take Captain Smith home to his wife.

Yes, sir.

Sorry to hear about Charmaine.

Someone fetch me a new..

Get a wagon and lay him down in the back.

You're in no condition to go, Deaf.

What did you say, Sam?

You need to look me in the eye.

I said, you're not going.

And who's going to look after your old crippled ass?

Karnes will take command of the Rangers.

You're just going to throw me away, is that it?

Go home, old friend.

Republic of Texas is grateful for your service.

Go on.

Colby, get him in the medical tent.

Gotta get Houston to New Orleans and Santa Anna

to his peace talks.

You take care of yourself, Deaf.

Let's move out.

Sam.

Sam.

I'll tell you when I'm done.

Just had one, Sam. That's quite enough.

They think you are man of destiny.

But all I see is President Jackson's puppet.

All I see is a man in a chicken coop.

I'm defending my people against pirates

like you stealing our land.

History will sweep you aside with a footnote.

Perhaps.

Better a footnote than a whole book of abominations.

No difference with what you did in San Jacinto.

We are men on opposite sides, yet there

is much we share, the love of our countries,

the love of other things.

A remarkable woman, Miss West.

An extraordinary woman, especially in bed, once she's

screaming with pleasure.

I hear women are quite skilled at pretending

that sort of thing.

Oh Antonio, yes, yes, more.

Give me more.

Give him another one, doc.

He's wrestling with what defeat tastes like.

Colonel Portie has got Emily West.

Wants to trade her for Santa Anna.

That whore for a Chief of State.

Portie is losing his mind.

Give this back to him.

Flores.

Sir.

Yes, sir.

Anderson.

God is with us.

Deeds and whiskey always worked for me before.

Whoa, whoa, keep your head, mister.

Else you liable to lose it along with your scalp.

Everything's set.

I need more volunteers.

Get out there, Phineas, you be a man.

All right.

I can give you Clarence and the other Negroes.

Best if I stay back and watch over the children and women

folk.

Bigfoot, let's meander.

Move it.

Must have hanged your president by now.

When I know that's true, I'll use you for my men's amusement.

And where will you go?

Texas, they'll hang you for Goliad.

In Mexico, they'll shoot you for San Jacinto.

.

Now.

Fire.

Fire, boys, fire.

Come here, boy, we did it.

I'll be damned, it worked, slicker

than snot on a doorknob.

Come in.

Come in.

Come on in.

That music, is it for me?

You're famous, Sam, Savior of Texas.

Now stay put, you're going to bust open your damn stitches.

People want to see me.

Help me.

Damn it.

Get your leg over here.

Consarn it, Sam, you can't put any weight on that leg.

That's why I'm leaning on you.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Give them your hat.

My hat?

No.

Thank you.

Sam.

Nurse.

Be careful.

- I need fresh air. - The wound will reopen.

What will you do when you're strong again?

Go back to Tennessee?

I came out with my husband and kids to find a better life.

I gotta stay.

Forbear Antonio, forbear.

will come to save us.

If I owned both hell and Texas,

I would rent Texas and live in hell.

Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Smith, we've got your husband.

Captain Smith is here.

Please, give me your hand.

Yeah, darlin, Texas is ours.

Are you all right?

Come here.

Hey, hey, that's him, ain't it?

Captain Smith?

Yes, sir.

Captain Deaf Smith, fresh from San Jacinto.

War's won, mostly.

Splendid.

You managed to miss it in search of a trinket.

Ain't a trinket.

Hell, if Texas does to us what it did to him and Samuel,

we might ought to give California a shot.

Christ washed the feet of lepers.

Thank you for coming.

This is special moment in the life of my grandson.

You are too kind, really, really too kind.

Very kind.

Tell me your name.

My name is Katherine.

Mmm, she lies in faith

for she is called plain Kate, and Bonnie Kate,

and Kate the cursed, but Kate, the prettiest Kate

in Christendom.

Oh, Kate of Kate hall, my super dainty Kate, for dainties

are all Kates.

I love you 10 times more than e'er before.

My fair and virtuous Emily.

You mean Kate?

Indeed I do, good Kate.

Come, kiss me, Kate.

Bravo.

Bravo.

To the hero of San Jacinto, our gallant general, Sam

Houston, liberator of Texas.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Salud, Lewis.

You remember me, mister?

Yes, ma'am.

Unfortunate what happened.

You sold us that place, knowing the Comanches

were running loose.

As I recall, your husband inquired

only the Mexican turmoil.

The subject of injuns never come up.

Karnes.

What the hell are you doing out here?

I told you to get back..
