Cry Blood, Apache (1970) - full transcript

A party of five men discover gold in a small Apache camp. They murder everyone there except for one young woman, who they keep alive hoping she'll lead them to more gold. Only Pitcalin among the five men shows kindness to the prisoner. An Apache brave who was away from the camp discovers the massacre and buries the dead. Then he tracks the murderers and brings slow but steady vengeance upon them.

Much obliged.

MAN: What you doing with such
an old timer, Mr. Pitcalin?

PITCALIN: Well,
it's an old friend.

[music playing]

MAN [VOICEOVER]: These are
good people, Mr. Dawson.

Treat 'em right and
trade with them,

might show you
where some gold is.

Hey, that red scalp's worth
$25 up there in Sedora.

His ma was worth 75.

[music playing]

MAN [VOICEOVER]: Pitcalin, we
gonna find any water out there?



PITCALIN [VOICEOVER]: Maybe.

Maybe not.

MAN [VOICEOVER]: Ask her where
them gold nuggets came from,

Pitcalin.

And if she don't tell us, we
gonna skin her over that fire.

MAN [VOICEOVER]:
Hey Pitcalin, if I

happen across their
carcasses, I'll

toss a cactus flower on them.

MAN [VOICEOVER]:
Aim for the knee,

and you get 'em in
the guts every time.

[laughter]

[shouting]

[cheering]

[laughter]



Come on.

Come on, little lady,
just give me a kiss.

[whimpering]

MAN: Yee ha.

[shouting]

MAN: Hold on.

It's gold!

[singing]

[non-english speech]

Get away from me.

I said get away.

[grunting]

Get a gun, Ben.

[gunshot]

[crying]

[shouting]

Don't let that one get away.

No!

[gunshot]

BEN: Billy, get up.

[yawning]

BILLY: I'm up, Ben.

[yawning]

Let's see what we
got there, Two Card.

What do you mean,
"what we've got?"

You keep what you find, and I'll
keep what I find, and that's--

[grunts]

Hold it.

You no-good skunk,
I'm going to kill you.

I ought to shoot him, Ben.

Shouldn't ought to
plug folk, Billy.

It's a damn sin, it is.

[chuckling]

Give me.

[click]

[laughter]

Stupid muck.

[gasps]

[whimpering]

You reckon we can
get some out of her

after last night's little romp?

She won't tell you nothing.

MAN: We'll see about that.

[click]

Billy?

[whimpering]

Lord, upon this rock I'm
gonna build your church.

And the forces of hell shall
not prevail against it.

[grunting]

[whimpering]

MAN: Billy!

No sense your friend
having all the fun.

[chuckling]

All right, I'm gonna
be nice to you.

I want you to me where
you got them gold nuggets.

Come on, now.

If you get ornery, I'm
going to have to get mean.

All right, just settle
down, or I'm going

to cut this girl's throat.

Billy?

Y'all come here.

I think we get some corn
squeezins' down this gal,

she might tell us something.

[laughter]

MAN: All bruised,
the little lady.

Maybe she'd like
some of this rot gut.

Don't waste it on that day.

MAN: Here, gimme a drink--
gimme a drink, too, Karr.

[inaudible]

MAN: Ain't no
[inaudible] in here.

MAN: There may be if
we get her to talk.

MAN: I think she's
gonna [inaudible].

[group murmuring]

MAN: Give her a drink, Benny.

[group murmuring]

MAN: Aw, come on.

[laughter]

You don't wanna
[inaudible], do you?

Come on, don't be like that.

Come on.

[shouting]

Why in the hell
didn't you stop her?

I'll see to you later.

Ain't gonna do you no good to
run, I'm gonna get you anyway.

[chuckling]

MAN: Now don't fight
God's will there, child.

All who share in His
will will be saved.

Now, you wanna be
saved, don't you?

MAN: Enough of the saved
talk, she tells us now.

MAN: Let's play with her
Ben, a dead squaw's no fun.

[whimpering]

[panting]

I'm tired of messing with
you, I'm gonna cut your throat.

[non-english speech]

What'd she say, Pitcalin?

She said she'd
show you the gold.

You coming with us?

Thought maybe so.

She tried to club
me with a stick, Ben.

Put that one on the pack horse.

Ben?

She's cashed out.

[dramatic music]

That's just to
dang bad, ain't it.

Ain't no use laying around here.

Pack up and get out.

Here's your horse, Deacon.

Thank you.

Y'all go on, I got a
funeral to perform.

BEN: Well, don't go getting
long winded, Deacon.

We got gold to find.

At it again.

[chuckling]

DEACON: It ain't my
thought, it's my calling.

Brethren, my heart's
desire, my prayer to God

that they might be saved.

For they was ignorant
of God's righteousness

and they never
submitted themselves

to that righteousness.

But I believe the promise
of the Lord will abide,

and them Indians will be saved.

That ought to pay for the
services, don't you think, sir?

Good night, my child.

God is with you.

[music playing]

[flies buzzing]

[shouting in non-english speech]

[music playing]

DEACON: [SINGING]
Bringing in the sheaves,

bringing in the sheaves,
here we are rejoicing,

bringing in the sheaves.

Bringing in the sheaves,
bringing in the sheaves.

[vultures squawking]

[screaming]

Get out of that grub, Billy.

I'm hungry, Ben.

We got about two
hours of daylight left.

You want to get some more
moving time in or stay here?

We keep going.

All right, suits me.

Hey Ben, I'm getting sick.

You remember what
mama said about my

getting sick if I don't eat.

Help you down?

What are you waiting for?

I thought you were starving?

Get that grub on.

Mama's boy, I bet you.

[chuckling]

[scraping]

Ah, that was a pretty
good meal, Billy.

Ah, I think I'll bed down.

DEACON: [READING] --
brother, the gentiles had

also received the Word of God.

Now, when Peter was
come up to Jerusalem--

[coyote howling]

[WHISPERING] Don't do
anything [non-english].

I'm your friend.

Tu amigo.

I'm friendly.

DEACON: [READING]: And
expanded by order unto them.

I was in a city--

What's the high pair for
opening?

Any old thing you want.

I'll take the limit.

[chuckling]

Now that ain't a
nice thing to do

in a gentleman's game, Deacon.

[laughter]

BEN: Deacon, you take
the midnight watch,

and Pitcalin will
take it to wake up.

[laughter]

Billy, tie her up.

All right, squaw, let's go.

[music playing]

[coyote howling]

-[WHISPERING] Billy?
-What?

What?

What's a matter?

Shh!

Keep quiet.

BILLY: Damn near
scared me to death.

Well, what'd you do that for?

Shh.

[WHISPERING] It's all
right, brother Billy.

I got something to show you.

Come on.

Well?

You coming?

Well come on, jughead.

Wait.

[chuckling]

BILLY: Look at that.

DEACON: Don't let her see you.

Look at that, boy, I like that.

[chuckling]

MAN: [whispering]

I remove my eyes
from her wickedness.

She's the Devil's widow.

[chuckling]

Why, it's sure nice.

Look at that.

[chuckling]

Look at that.

Ooh.

Oh, man.

BILLY: Sure beats gold
digging, don't it?

DEACON: It sure do.

[laughter]

DEACON: That sure
is pretty, boy.

Look at it.

[laughter]

Look at it, look at that.

[gasping] Pitcalin?

Deacon, you've been a bad boy.

Uh [shouting] no!

[laughter]

You devil!

[laughter]

[grunting]

[gunshot]

[grunting]

[panting]

All right, Pitcalin, I'm
going to kick your guts in.

[grunting]

MAN: Hello, little squaw woman.

[laughter]

[grunting]

[laughter]

BEN: Get him, Billy.

MAN: Get him, Billy.

Hit him, Billy.

Go to the eye.

Hit him in the eye.

Get him in the eye.

His eyes, stupid-- go
for his eyes, stupid.

I baptize you by the Father,
Son, and the Holy Ghost.

[laughter]

Where are you?

I'm gonna kick your guts in.

[roars]

[gasping]

Get her out of here.

Brother of yours-- hopeless.

Hopeless.

Fights dirty, Ben.

[thunder]

[thunder]

[music playing]

[non-english speech]

[non-english speech]

BEN: Well, what'd she say?

She says we're headed
for the desert country.

[laughter]

Better hang onto those
muddy sticks, Two Card.

They ain't none
where we;re headed.

We going to find
any water out there?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

We'll stop soon, water the
horses, fill up the canteens.

Water your horses here,
fill your canteens upstream.

[gasping]

[chuckling]

[clearing throat]

I'll say-- [clears throat]
I'll say one

thing for you, brother Billy.

You got a lot of spunk,
getting down into a strain

game with old Pitcalin here.

[laughter]

Ben, I still got the
corn squeezings jug.

You want me to fill
it up with water?

Yeah, if you think
you got the strength.

Got the strength.

[derisive laughter]

[music playing]

Pitcalin, let's move out.

[braying]

Come on, you.

Come on, you.

Get up, get up.

Get up there, you.

Brother Pitcalin, got something
I wanna talk over with you.

Being a servant of the
Lord, I can fix you

and that Injun up, Pitcalin.

Being that we're friends-- sort
of partners, you might say.

Uh-huh, what's on your mind?

DEACON: I'd make
it right betweenst

you, the Lord, and that Injun.

That's what I do, Pitcalin.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'll put the gold
band of righteousness on you

two for, um, 15% of
what you're finding.

A small way with that Injun.

Seems fair, don't you think?

Remember, Pitcalin, blessed
are those who share.

[snorts]

Insult me, will you?

I'll see your guts rot in hell.

Heeyah.

Then we will need
partner, won't we, Deacon?

Looks like the Deacon's got
one of his sermons coming on.

[music playing]

What's the matter, old mule?

Your leg hurting?

Much further, Pitcalin?

Hey, Pitcalin, when do we
get to this Oro de Dios,

or whatever she
called the water hole?

When do we get to
it, and the gold?

Huh?

Manana.

[non-english speech]

I don't have all month.

Manana.

Tomorrow.

We'll be at water and nuggets.

Well, blessed are those
who congregate, brothers.

I'm camping.

Two Card, you and Pitcalin
take care of the horses.

Billy, break out the grub
while I make the fire.

[music playing]

[crickets chirping]

[grunting]

Billy!

Wake up, Billy.

What's the matter, Benji?

BEN: Pitcalin's gone.

BILLY: Ben, our
canteens is done empty.

That skunk poured out our water.

[gasping]

[wind blowing]

[grunting]

[shouting]

No.

[gasping]

Simmer down.

Simmer down.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Please.

[grunting]

[non-english speech]

[shouting]

[non-english speech]

I know.

[non-english speech].

[whimpering]

[non-english speech]

[non-english speech]

No.

[SCREAMING] No.

No, no.

[shouting]

[weeping]

TWO CARD: Give me a card.

DEACON: Brother Two
Card, I told you,

if you keep playing the devil's
game, it's gonna get you.

TWO CARD: Come on,
Deacon, let me play cards.

Deal.

Hit it.

DEACON: Gambling's evil.

That's good, it's evil, Billy.

Shh.

Let me alone, Deacon.

DEACON: Two Card's
leading you astray, Billy.

We going to wait
around here all day?

Play your cards.

DEACON: He's back, he's back.

The Lord's blessed this house.

[laughter]

Did she tell you about the
gold, Brother Pitcalin?

Well?

I brought her back, Mr. Dawson.

She brought us out
here so we'd die.

There ain't no
damn gold, anyway.

PITCALIN: That's where you're
wrong, Two Card Charlie.

What?

Gold's near water, about
a day's ride from here.

Well, let's go get it.

Hold it.

Why share?

Why not keep it all
for yourself, Pitcalin?

Same reason we're
one big happy family.

We need each other.

And besides, I
left my gear here.

You best get some rest if
you're digging tomorrow.

[laughter]

Let's get some rest.

[laughter]

[dramatic music]

[coyote howling]

[whinnying]

No.

Get up.

The horses are gone.

Will you get?

BILLY: Gone where, Ben?

Let's get after them.

I gotta get them horses.

My mule's out there.

BEN: Them horses were cut loose.

Let's have a little talk
with that Indian lover.

BILLY: Ben?

Ben?

[panting] I can't see a
damn thing out there, Ben.

Why?

You getting too
greedy, Pitcalin?

TWO CARD: He wants it
for himself, that's why.

I should have killed you.

Let's get him, Ben.

[shouting]

[screaming]

BEN: All right, where's
our horses, Pitcalin?

That's whe're I go.

You been lying to us, woman.

I'm gonna cut you
where you'll b--

[screaming]

Benji?

Help me, Benji.

Benji?

[sobbing] Benji?

Benji?

No.

Watch the rear.

Watch it.

Just one out there, I reckon.

All for Billy, huh?

If it going to hurt?

Benji?

Benji?

I think I'm dead, Ben.

I can't move my legs,
my feet, or nothing.

Yes you can.

You can.

I can't, Ben.

I can't.

I can't.

Make a litter.

Best to stay here
in comfort, Billy.

We got to be going now, Billy.

You understand?

[music playing]

[click]

You no good, backstabbing--

[grunting]

[gasping]

[music playing]

Two Card, did you hear
a shot awhile back?

Pitcalin?

Did you hear a pistol
shot awhile back?

Billy ought to have
a family burial.

Shouldn't dry up like
that-- filthy old hide.

Or have a plot or a
stone of some kind.

He ought to see mama again.

She'd have liked the parson
to say some words over him.

My blessings on
you all, brothers.

I'm coming, Billy.

[wind blowing]

I'm coming, Billy.

The Deacon's coming, Billy.

The Deacon's coming, Billy.

I'm coming, Billy.

Lord, Billy needs me and I'm
tired of looking for him.

Now, we made a bargain.

I'm gonna build you a
church and you're gonna

lead me to some gold, remember?

But Lord, you're
not helping at all.

Why won't you talk to me?

Why won't you talk to me?

You gotta help.

Lord, why won't you talk to me?

BEN: He's alive!

It's Billy's.

Look, it's still primed.

See?

It's still primed.

He must have left it here.

She knows about it, don't she?

Hold it.

Who's here, Mr. Dawson?

The one that got
Billy-- that Indian.

TWO CARD: Hey, maybe she
and that crazy Apache

out there got something
cooked up together.

She's got her own reasons for
not wanting him to catch up.

All right.

We're going back after Billy.

You coming?

You?

Figure I'll meet the
Apache sooner or later.

Guess I'd rather it be later.

Thanks.

[wind blowing]

Billy!

Billy?

Billy.

Billy.

[gasping]

Come here, Billy.

It's all right.

You're going to
be all right now.

I came back.

I can't reach the water.

I'm tired.

[crackle]

[gunshot]

[shouting]

I'll seek you out, Lord.

Never you mind.

I'm gonna find you, and
that's a plain fact.

BEN: What are you--
what are you doing?

No.

No!

No.

Billy, help me.

Billy?

Billy?

Please don't.

You dirty pig.

You red pig.

You dirty pig.

Help me.

[gagging]

Help!

No.

No.

Billy?

I came back for
you, Billy, help me.

Oh.

[gasping]

Help me, Billy.

Billy?

Billy?

[whimpering]

Help me.

Billy, help me, Billy,
help me, please.

Help me.

I came back-- Billy, Billy?

No, don't go.

Injun, come back here.

Injun, help--

[gurgling]

Where'd you go?

Help me.

Come back, Injun.

Help me.
[gasping]

[coughing]

Mama?

Mama, help me, please, mama?

Pitcalin!

Mama, I'm sorry I brought
Billy out [inaudible].

Mama, help me, please.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

Give me another chance.

[gurgling]

[coughing]

[gurgling]

It's time to move
out, Two Card.

You staying?

You're damn right.

Lightning never strikes
twice in the same spot.

Hey Pitcalin, if I happen
across your carcasses,

I'll toss a cactus
flower on them.

[chuckling]

For old time's sake, huh?

Yeah, something like that.

Where is that damned card?

Gotta be here someplace.

No, it's not here.

[shouts]

No, no, please, please.

Please, don't.

Oh, no.

[grunting]

I guess I'm going to jail, huh?

I was leaving, honest.

I don't have your damned gold.

Pitcalin and his squaw
have run off with it.

Go after them.

I don't have your damned gold.

Hey.

Hey, Indian?

Hey, you gotta come
back and untie me.

Hey!

Hey, Indian?

Hey?

[panting]

God.

[rattling]

Where the hell have you been?

What have you got there for me?

Some food?

Or maybe some water?

I've got a fine Boston handgun.

You can have it
if you let me go.

[panting]

What's in that bag?

Hey, don't.

[rattling]

[panting]

I can't get out.
[SCREAMING] I gotta get out.

Help.

Help.

Help.

Help me, I gotta
get out of here.

Help me.

No, no.

Help me.

Oh, Lord, it hurts.

It hurts!

Oh, God, help me.

Help me.

Help.

[screaming]

Help me.

Oh no, help me.

[screaming]

God!

[gasping]

Brother Two Card?

Brother Two Card?

What's the matter with you?

It's a serpent.

It's a serpent.

I told you, I told you,
I told you, I told you.

Lord, God, I'm tired.

Really.

I'm tired.

[sobbing]

And you gotta quit
teasing me 'cause I can't.

I just can't keep
looking for you

unless-- unless you cooperate
with me-- with your servant.

Lord?

[sobbing]

[laughter]

Oh, Lord.

It's so good to see you again.

So good.

I knew you'd find me.

I just knew it.

I knew you'd find me.

We're going home, my Lord.

Going home.

[SINGING] With my Jesus,
now I'm going home.

Going home, going home.

With my Jesus, now
I'm going home.

[gunshot]

[non-english speech]

He's trying to kill us.

[non-english speech]

Your brother?

Let's go.
