Gunfight at Black Horse Canyon (1961) - full transcript

Wells Fargo agent Jim Hardie has to deal with wanted posters with his name on them, a cynical Eastern writer, a wild card gunslinger while trying to capture a black stallion.

* GUNFIGHT AT
BLACK HORSE CANYON *

It is very difficult for me
to express myself,

about the adventures
that are about to happen.

Apprehension and curiosity
were constant feelings.

This land was my enemy since
I was a child,

although I never came here.

I thought I knew
these intimately

lands that filled me
with so much hatred...

But as I passed by it,

I felt a stranger
overcome by beauty.

The colors of the earth,
the blue sky



and red seemed
to be beyond imagination.

I was determined to describe it
in the best possible way...

This primitive land
that so influenced my early life.

Whoa, whoa!...

Let me get it. It's all right.

Let's go after him. For sure.

Look that.

A valley is a good place
to catch a horse.

There is only one way
out of this valley.

You can't see it from up here

Not down there either,
unless you know.

They're wandering.
Let's take. We will.

Let's get him where
we want to go first.

You don't think he's smart.
Look there.



Now he can see us from afar.

IT'S. But this time I think
that we will get closer to him.

Jim, we've been after him all day
and we're not even close.

Let's give up. I'm tired.

You come back if you want, Bo.

I came to get you.
So I'm going to get it.

It's all right.

But he could have
a rainbow over his head.

It's like going after
the pot of gold.

"WANTED ONLY DEAD
JAMES WHITCOMB HARDIE"

"5000 DOLLARS OF REWARD WILL BE
PAID FOR THE PROOF OF HIS DEATH"

"TERRITORIAL PRISON"

Got? Yes.

The way he wanted it.

Clear and bold.

"WANTED ONLY DEAD"

I'll make Mr. Hardie sweat until

find the right place and time.

It is good to ride
after ten years.

Passed by? Yes.

Red Mark and Tom Purdy.

I put more in the bag if you want
to distribute more on the way.

Now he will know what it is like,
to be hunted like an animal.

Without ever knowing where,
when or who...

Have you put the hay maker brand
on that stallion, Jim?

Hey, Jim!

Where's your stallion?

I'm waiting,
to put horseshoes on it!

How was it this time, Jim?
Came closer?

Look what came closest to me.

What happened?

He tried to hit me in the back.

I think I have a poster
in there that matches this face.

It seems to be Tom Purdy.

Is there one in there
that matches this one?

It looks like he had a reason.

I think he had 5000 reasons

I also don't think he will be
the last to try.

This is a problem, Jim.

I cannot arrest a gunslinger,
who will pass through the city.

Only if he did something wrong.

I don't think you need to tell me.
Be careful.

You don't have to.

Let's see... salt...

It seems wide!...

One dollar and thirty cents,
Miss Tina.

I'll put it in your account.
Something more?

Tina...

What can a girl do to show
that she likes someone very much?

If you're talking about Jim
Hardie, grow up.

I didn't say who!

Do not need.

Good...

Buy a gift or something.

Where did I put that line...

Oh!... What kind of gift?

Something he wants more
than anything in the world...

All he wants is that old,
wild horse.

It is! Thank you sir!

You're welcome.

Excuse.
I didn't want to meddle.

He's a wonderful child.
Thanks.

Jay Squire. Tina.

Miss Tina?

Is a pleasure.

Can I help you?

It would be very generous.

They wanted me to write,
the truth about this wild place.

And I will write the truth.

I'll call it: "A hopeless desert".

What did you say before?

"All hope has abandoned
those who enter here"

It's pretty cute,
don't you think?

My name is Chance.
Nason Chance.

I don't know about you,
but I get bored when I travel.

It makes you want to talk.
Where you are from?

New England. Excuse.

I wouldn't be so on the edge,
if I were you.

You can lose your balance
and fall, miss.

A woman like you wouldn't
have much of a chance out there.

Perhaps it would be better,
than here.

I don't know that.

If you hadn't lifted
that beautiful curly hair,

the desert sun would
have cooked you.

What a way you have
to put things...

I'm not a Yankee.

Traveling alone?

Can you go, please?

Leave me!

I do not want to hurt you!
Chance!

He wanted my skin,
for the trophy room.

I'd stick around,
but I don't know if the law

will understand
my point of view.

You explain. What happened.

I hope I didn't ruin your trip.

The sound of the train
trembled, my ears,

while I looked at
the body on the floor.

As soon as I was introduced,
to the West that Wells Fargo

wants to sell
to the civilized, the world.

And now?

Let's get some sleep.
To sleep?

How can you think of sleeping
after being shot?

If so, no one would sleep
around here.

Then I will stay with you.

I don't think this is
going to be necessary, Bo.

What will you do?

Walking around waiting,
shot in the back suddenly?

But for that I don't
need to walk much.

They will come to me.
Do you think this is smart?

Well, maybe not.
But do you have a better idea?

No. You are toughheaded.

I think so.

I'm about to receive
some equipment tomorrow,

so I think I'll stay,
in the city.

Good night, Bo.

Good night, Jim.

I had a very
pleasant evening...

With a very nice girl...

Shall we toast for that?

Your name is Squire, isn't it?

I think we met, a while ago.

Exactly ten years. Mr. Hardie.

Tina...

I think your mom may be
worried about you.

It wouldn't be a bad idea
if you went home now.

Squire and I have
a business to discuss,

that shouldn't be
in your interest.

I think you better be clearer,
Mr. Hardie.

Tina, he's worried that someone

can see you,
with an ex-convict and...

I'm wrong about your concern

fatherly for Tina, Mr. Hardie?
That's right.

Mr. Squire has already told me about,
his problem with Wells Fargo.

If your debt to society
has already been paid,

I choose to accept that.

I'm sure you do, Tina.

Now go home.

Excuse me sir. Of course.

You can sit down, Mr. Hardie.

I found this with
the dead man today.

That and the fact that you
come back here seems,

be more than
a coincidence for me.

A piece of paper without records,
without witnesses...

It's jurisprudence, Mr. Hardie.

I can sue you
for false detention.

Do you think this will make it easier,
shoot me in the back, huh?

I don't think you give it
a chance. Not...

I just wanted to see you sweat.

Every time a doorknob turns,
or a boot hits dust behind you.

I'm paid to sweat.
This is not going to be new.

It is a dangerous land,
Mr. Hardie.

High cliffs to fall...

And those cold mountain lakes.

Do you want to die with
a frozen smile on your face?

Say it.

You got a little more than
ten years for murder, Squire.

I was talking about
an accident, Mr. Hardie.

Like the kind you can have up
there with that black stallion.

And if something happens...

only three people will
know it was no accident.

You me...

And Raig. My Lieutenant.

It's still the same.
Still loyal after ten years.

And still unable to think,
with a brain other than me.

How will you want it, Hardie?

And you're still obeying
you, Squire.

Wait! Why not?

I give it to you for free.

You can have 5000.
Why not now?

Because Mr. Hardie helped me
learn 2 things in those 10 years.

The classics...

That provokes so much soft talk,
with your friend Tina.

And patience. I can even wait.

For the right time
and the right place.

And when you come,
Mr. Hardie...

I'll kill you.

She was there,
standing when I passed.

He said the man who shot him jumped
off the train an hour earlier.

It will be difficult
for her to prove it.

It's. Excuse.

I wouldn't be so rash, Hal.

I knew that guy.
He was a mercenary.

His name was Turan.

It could have been her, Jim.

Have you ever seen
a woman shoot a mercenary?

Murdoc? Yes.

Jim Hardie of Wells Fargo.

This is the Sheriff,
Hal Humphard.

Miss Murdoc is the girl
I was talking about, Hal.

She is writing
for an Eastern newspaper.

Tell the people about the West.
As it really is.

Wells Fargo,
is financing the trip.

It seems like a good deal.

It must cheer up those
women in the city,

to encourage his men
to come here.

A woman's point
of view can be dangerous.

The truth must not be
too much danger, miss.

Not even a little.

I just don't think that's
what Web Fargo wants.

For now I'm worried,

with that shooting on
the train, Miss. Murdoc.

Well for my happiness,

the monster who did this was
not interested in coming here.

If not,
I might not have arrived.

I'll be at the hotel
if I have any more questions.

I believe there is
a hotel in that city...

Yes ma'am. Across the street.

However,
since you are traveling alone,

it would be better
to stay with us on the farm.

For me to protect you on behalf
of Wells Fargo, understand?

Mr. Hardie, after
what happened on the train,

I think I survive without
anyone here watching over me.

I prefer to form
my own opinions.

Will she sell land around here?

It seems that she has already
formed too many opinions.

This is all a waste of time.

Let's call the sheriff
and have him arrested.

Our duty is to keep
the law until the end.

Do not use it to favor us.

There has to be an indictment
before arresting a man.

Isn't assassination
attempt good enough?

I made one that can stick.

Jay Squire was released
from prison with an old prejudice.

It is under suspicion.

In addition, there is
no record of previous arrest.

Wells Fargo lawyers have advised
to exercise extreme caution.

Illegal intent is
absolutely certain.

Good...

Did you understand
what I said? Yes.

Any news?

Yes. Bad news.

I think you can stop worrying.

I just went to the stable.

It seems that Squire and Raig left
in the morning carrying water.

Maybe it's our luck.

They're trying to get
to Mexico through the desert.

No. Swamper said,
that he taught them how to get

in the territory of wild horses.

In the southern valley.
This is close to your area, Jim.

I didn't know that they were
horses, that they were wanting.

And it's not.

They are wanting an accident
to happen. With me.

When you're done looking,
my good man,

can you open the gate?

I think I better keep
an eye on him.

The region, through the eyes
of a woman, is steep, hard and cruel.

Struggling severely,
regrettable efforts,

of the pioneers
who would invade.

The people are no longer
formed, by human beings.

The West froze,
burned and drowned them.

They live almost like animals.

It will tell me that you,
jumped off the train too.

Why would I do that?
I didn't kill anyone in cold blood.

It wasn't you who was standing
in his direction, either.

I have no intention of staying
here discussing morality with you.

Let go of my arm.

You really are full of arguments.
What are you doing here?

I am writing,
a book if you want to know.

In all my life,
I have only read one book.

It was a fable.

It was the story of a fox,
who wanted some grapes.

She said they were sour
when she couldn't catch it.

I think there are people who are like
that, when they don't get something.

I still don't think
I understand your language.

It doesn't matter what your lips say.
That's what your eyes say...

I was just trying to answer,
which your eyes asked.

Maybe I'm not seeing very well.

Hi, Hardie.

The last time I saw you,
it was down south.

We had a disagreement,
I believe.

Yes. I think I took too much tequila
and you didn't like it.

Still at Wells Fargo,
my dear Jim?

It is honest work.

Still carrying weapons,
for revolutionaries?

No sir.

Those mercenaries risk
a lot for little money.

I gave up on that to work,
for myself.

Mr. Hardie...
If I can interrupt...

Your...

Your old companion there,
is a murderer.

Is he the man on the train?

That guy came over me.

I have a right to protect myself,
don't you think?

Is that true, Miss Murdoc?
Did the guy pull the gun first?

Well... I think so.

I don't see what difference
it makes. He still fired.

It's a big difference.

It is the difference between
murder and self-defense.

That man was a mercenary.

I hope you tell
the Sheriff that, Jim.

It doesn't matter to some Sheriffs,
who the mercenaries bring.

It just can't be alive.

I am not the Sheriff
and I cannot speak on his behalf.

But I can promise you,
something.

If you are wanted,
for something,

we will end up
facing each other.

In fact, I owe you one, Jim.

You already took advantage
of my condition.

Is it the best you can do?

Do you want to try it?

It looks like
you still beat me, Jim.

I want to keep,
things like that.

I think that's fine with me.

For the good times.

The good times are not going
to stop me from checking you out.

You have responsibilities.
I do not.

That is the difference
between you and me.

And just for the record, Jim.
I am not wanted.

For anyone.

So why did you
jump off the train?

I didn't think the law
would believe my story,

but I think you do.

If the Sheriff wants to speak
to me, I will be in town.

See you. Bye, New England.

I don't think,
which is a good idea,

you walk around alone,
Miss. Murdoc.

You're right.

The law in the West seems
to be quite incompetent.

The law in the West is
no different, than any other.

"Laws are silenced in the
middle of guns," Mr. Hardie.

Sincerely.

"Laws are not valid just because they
are laws, but because they are enforced".

A man named, Beacher said that.

Are you going back to the city?

Since it is not safe
for a woman to go out alone;

I think I will have
to suffocate in that hotel.

If it gets too smothered,
we can still have it on the ranch.

It is right on that road.
You can't go wrong. Mr. Hardie...

Let's get one thing straight.

I know your hospitality,
from the West,

it's just obedience,
to your employers.

What makes you so bitter?

I'm not bitter, Mr. Hardie.

I am cynical.
Don't you know the difference?

Patience, Raig...

Hardie stayed three months
behind me all over California.

I intend to make it so long
and painful for him.

There must be an easier way
to get to Hardie.

Be a philosopher, Raig.
All the best comes to those who wait.

Stopped! Jim...

Do you want to end up dead?

You need someone to follow you.
Maybe they should.

But I don't need to tell you that
following a man is like following a bear.

The two are curious,
to know who is behind.

You have to walk slowly, in silence.
Merge with the scenario.

I just hope you don't become part
of the scene by taking a shot.

How many of those pamphlets do
you think are flying around?

There's no way to know.

What we know for sure

is what we got with the guy,
who tried to hit us.

But he can be one out
of 10, 20 or more...

That's right.

On the other hand, Squire
may just be looking to scare you.

Don't be so sure.

How many did you see?
Only one.

Did you see any?
I did not see anything.

One no,
it must be a lot of trouble.

Keep him busy, I try
to catch him from behind. Thanks.

Stopped!

All right, Bo!

I found this with him.
It was the Raid, wasn't it?

You got in trouble, sir.

He says who it was, unless
he doesn't know, who is alive or dead.

It was Raig, yes. And?

Who else did he give
these posters to?

I do not know.

Purdy! It was Tom Purdy...

Only that!
It was Tom Purdy and me!

Liar! Wait, Bo.

Take him to town. Come on.

May I know,
what are you doing?

Don't you know what
a soap maker is?

Not even. Wouldn't it be
easier to buy a bar?

I am running your farm.
I want to save your money.

Have you changed your mind,
Miss Murdoc? Do not.

You ride a horse too well
for someone from the east.

My family has been riding
for years. Not!...

I don't want you to misunderstand
my intentions to come here.

I heard that this farm is
typical of the lifestyle here.

I think that's more or less.
Jeb, this is Miss Murdoc!

This is Jed Gain.
He runs things around here.

It is a pleasure to meet you,
Miss Murdoc.

Ah, I wouldn't say that is,

a five star hotel
in Boston, but...

But it is very comfortable!

Hold it, Jim! Hold on!

Hold on!

Jim, are you okay?

I'm fine, yes...

What a terrible cut.

I hit the wagon over there.

It is better to take it,
inside the house.

Come and I do your dressing.

You need a doctor.

You don't care about anything.
I will leave you well.

MS. Murdoc, come here
to clean up the dirt around you.

Comes...

I have to go to the barn,
get cobwebs.

What are you talking about?

You mix it with wheat flour.

Nothing better,
to make the blood stop.

But this is ridiculous.

He has an infection,
with these filthy things.

It is not what the doctor said.

I learned from him. And he has
been doing this for 40 years.

I'll be right back.

The doctors learned
from the Indians.

They use cobwebs successfully.

Longer than his family,
he rides a horse.

Really? How fascinating.

I think I have to get used
to the primitive environment.

May I ask you a question?

What did you accept
this job for?

A challenge, Mr. Hardie.

How to get on a balloon.

A challenge from your father?

I think it is well known,
that he is one,

of the largest cattle owners,
from Wells Fargo.

Upon my mother's life.

Unfortunately
I don't understand.

I understand more about
this West, than you think.

My mother was dragged here,

away from civilized life,
which she knew.

They fought against
this desert for so long,

who went blind until
my father found gold.

It was an escape for him.

But for my mother
it was too late.

She died giving birth.

Do you think it could not happen
there in the East, or elsewhere?

It won't happen to me,
no matter what my father thinks.

I am not interested in romanticizing
the West for it to be justified.

I can only see in this place,
how my mother must have suffered.

I think that answers all your
questions, Mr. Hardie.

Not exactly.

There's one more,
if you don't mind.

Can you tell if your mother
loved your father or not?

Because?

Would that justify everything?

It is not with another question
that a question is answered.

You are starting
to look like my father.

He has some primitive ideas,
which I don't really understand.

I think maybe he's right.

You will find out here
especially in this region.

What really counts
is what's inside

of a man or a woman.

If they love each other enough
they can survive almost anything.

Here it is. This will stop
the bleeding quickly.

It will be brand new.

Good morning, Mr. Hardie.
I hope you survive.

It would be a good woman if someone
put something on her head.

Good...

I don't think she's
a domesticated calf.

Take it easy, I'm not.

So you better stop
behaving like one.

What a beautiful day!
I feel like a young bull!

Are you the sheriff here, sir?
It's me.

Is a pleasure. I'm Major Bob Shangler.
Empire builder.

I am the biggest cattle owner
on this side of the Mississippi.

I heard about your cattle

and I'm ready to pay
for whatever I like.

My boys here work hard
and play hard.

These thousand dollars
should cover any

damage they have
done to your city.

Have a nice day, sir.

I think it is better,
I go to watch our literary.

I don't want them to put
another chapter in her book.

For! For!...

Helping girls in distress is your
business, my dear Jim.

I was on my way when it
started to get heavy.

I saw you were.

I researched you, Chance.
He is not wanted for anything.

As for the train incident,
others have already made mistakes.

The Sheriff will consider
it as self-defense.

In view of the girl's testimony.

Things are getting
interesting, Chance.

What were you planning to do?
Save her from sin and corruption?

I have better things to do.

That is why we are here.

So far all I've heard is music.

And the cups that breaking
with the screaming female.

Aren't you ready, for $ 50,000?

I think my ears
are not very good.

It doesn't have to be that good.

A few meters from you.

In a belt around the waist.

It's so fat you can't see it.

It is bad for the heart.

How do you know it's there?

I have good ears.
I heard the Major talking about.

What is your plan?

I'm going to have fun with him
and take a weight off him.

The best time will be tomorrow
during the cattle show.

I'm starting to wonder if it's safe
to leave the door in this city.

What made you get
in there to start?

I saw a snake pit
and was attracted.

Like some people, they are
attracted to the smell of blood.

The men in that bar didn't
want to hurt you.

They are hardworking
farmers who just wanted,

relax after hard work.

They are no different
from the men of the East.

Perhaps they are more direct.

Sorry, but I was right
about what Wells Fargo

he wants to shove down
the throat of civilized people.

You are totally mistaken.

I will not give you
the satisfaction

to admit it, returning,
Mr. Hardie.

It will take more than
a snake pit for me to give up.

I will write about the West
and all its sick glory.

I have more important things
to do than discuss with you.

But I happen to believe it,
in this place.

In people and their dreams.

They're here on the border,
in the desert.

One day they will create,
a great civilization.

They've fought
the desert for so long

that they don?t realize anymore,
that they?ve been absorbed.

Maybe there was a dream before.

But there is more.

No, it's still there,
maybe you can't see it.

Sometimes you have to dig
a lot to get to the gold.

Even if it means getting your
hands a little dirty.

Say what you want, Mr. Hardie.
You will not change my opinion.

But I will try.

Good Morning.

Yes, sir, major.

I treated this type of cattle,
only six months ago.

When will this sample
of cattle begin?

Much to go, Major.

Let the worst end.

Nobody will touch
the ones you want.

Yes. Take one more.

Better take him
to the hotel room.

He has a few hours
to get well.

The people, the horses,

the carts flow
in a muddy stream here.

They've fought
this desert for so long,

who has no more
sensitivity to...

Stay in the coverage
that we?ll be back to.

Who is it? Room service, sir.

What you want?

An ice pack, for the Major, sir.

It's a toast from
the management.

It stands still that
no one gets hurt.

What? Stop, Major.

You naughty. Do you think
you will get away with this?

Let him take the feeling
off by himself.

Let's get going fast!

Do you think you are
smart, are you?

I've dealt with people, worse than
you, and I'm done with them.

This was an old man with a hangover.
I didn't need that!

You like to talk a lot!
Want to talk?

Talk to them!

Chance!

Does he know you?

Let's take her along.

Stay there, Hellen!

Sheriff!

Sheriff! Sheriff!

Sheriff, there was a shooting
in the Major's room.

Did you see who did it?

Yes. I saw some,
at the bar just before.

They were getting
the major drunk.

Let's take a look.
And one more thing, Sheriff.

Do you know that journalist?
They took her hostage.

Are you sure about that?
Of course!

You talked to her at
the bar yesterday.

Chance...

I'll try to see where they went.

Get men together and go
after me as soon as possible.

Did someone follow?

We are free.

I said I couldn't shoot, Falc?o.

We got what we wanted.

You are leaving the agreement.
I'm not liking.

Every man for himself.

Even wolves work together.

The more the bigger.
He's in charge.

He works the fastest and closest.

I told you this was my group.

And I remember the last one.

We lost a good deal because
the group was yours.

You're getting limp.

I was always soft in relation
to shooting a man for no reason.

I do my own reasons!

It seems that if I
don?t pay attention,

I will have someone,
to cut my throat.

You may need to cut, Chance.
Wolves do not follow sheep.

I think a bullet in the belly
would be painful.

Where's your imagination?

We're looking for revenge.
My revenge.

I am the one who says what is
painful, for Mr. Hardie or not.

Okay, okay.
We do it your way.

You call if we wait,
in the shade.

I'm going to make
Mr. Hardie sweat.

We could have taken Hardie
and you let him go.

Let's go up to where
the stallion is.

The one Hardie would
give his life for.

We will take our share
and go to Canada.

You do your own business.

It's her?

I don't like witnesses.

I take her with me.

You take her with you dead.

Perhaps you are right, Falc?o.
Maybe I'm getting soft.

If you are a wolf you have
to act like one.

I told you to pay attention,
New England.

Don't shoot!

Outside, New England.
Get on a horse.

Put the nannies on
the floor there. Fast!

As you said, Falc?o.
What I do is my business.

I also said that your throat
needed to be cut, Chance.

No wonder they call me Falc?o.

Make no mistake.
There won't be another chance.

Out there.

Are you hurt. Nothing serious.
It's just swollen.

I want to thank you
for saving my life.

Don't thank me.
Confuses my head like before.

I like you better that way.

Hardie's house is this way.
Do you know where it is?

Yes. Go where they help you.

I will not go without you.

What's up, New England?
Is the revolt over?

Please, Chance. Let me help.

It's too late, New England.
I do not want to leave you.

There is no time, New England.
It's now or never.

Skirt!
But what are you going to do?

I will run away from this place
and you would only get in the way.

Give it to Hardie.

Yes, they did.
There's a candle in there still lit.

It looks like
the track leads there!

Miss Murdoc!
What is happening?

What is the problem?

Let's go into the house.
Come on

No, no, no, no, nothing!...

You just sit there,
everything will be fine.

What happened to you?

They wanted to kill me!
Kill you?

Who wants? I'm going up!

I do not know...

They stole someone.
I heard them talking.

Don't worry anymore.
You'll be safe here!

What is it?

Money... What money?

Chance gave me.

Oh, please! They need help!

Hmm!... Okay, but...

I better do something about
that cut on your forehead first.

As in the old days, my dear Jim.
Not exactly.

I told you what would happen
if you became a wanted man.

You'd better use that weapon if you
don't plan on coming back with us.

It's as empty as my head.

The girl is in danger, Jim.

She was with me.
I told her to leave with the money.

Falc?o must have gone after her.
Where did she go?

I'll go with you.

You're going back
to the city with the Sheriff.

This is not the time to argue.

I know where she went
and I only speak if I go with her.

It's all right.
I take responsibility.

That's right.

We take it back to the city.

Do you think you
can ride a horse?

I don't want to leave you here
and let the sheriff know about it.

I'm fine.
You were really nice, Jeb.

I want to apologize for what
I said when I came here before.

I don't remember you
saying anything too bad.

I hope you dedicate an entire
chapter in your book to me.

Put that rifle
back on the floor.

New England,
is that what he calls you?

You are far from home.
What you want?

You shut up.

I should have known,
that you were together,

by the way he looked
at you in that bar.

Very well... Where is it?

You tell me where you are.

That money will go
back to the place

right and there is nothing
you can do.

Tell me now, where is it.

Stopped!

Remember what I said,
Falc?o.

Don't make a mistake because
you won't have another chance.

Take care of him.
Get him out of here.

Are you okay,
Miss Murdoc? Yes.

Still setting me up.
Is empty.

Where is the money?

He gave it to me,
to deliver to you.

What are you going
to do with it?

I'm going to have to take you
to the Sheriff. Two dead men.

I have nothing to do with this, Jim.
That is the truth.

This is for the law to decide.

Sr. Hardie...

I want you to let him go.

I...

I don't think I understood
you very well, Miss Murdoc.

I said,
I want you to let him go.

Go away. Get out.

Wait a minute, New England.

Go away.
You said there is no time.

It's now or never.

He saved my life, Mr. Hardie.
I want to thank.

You are not thanking him
for helping him escape.

When he brought money back,

he volunteered himself.

It will make a lot of difference.

He will still be arrested.
Yes he will go.

I've already been arrested.
There in Texas.

I should have learned something.
But I didn't learn.

Do you want to go back?

You made me want
to go back.

We are from two different
worlds, New England.

Now we have to go back
to where we belong.

Perhaps my world would have been,
much better if you had been in it before.

Thanks.

Hey, you little thief!

What do you think,
what are you doing?

Good morning, Jeb. I was
just going for a walk on the ranch.

What do you think I command here?
Mother Joana?

I've been training him
or two months

and not wanting
anyone walking on it!

What kind of training?
Special?

Certainly special!

Why every time,
that I look out at you

Are you in my corral on top
of my horse?

Nobody knows how to train
a horse as well as you do.

And so.

Don't give me that easy talk.

I know who you have eyes for.
And Jim is not here!

Jeb... Tell me...

What are you training them for?

It's a secret.

I don't count. I promise.

I don't tell you at all!

You are the best horse trainer
in the world.

And I love you,
with sugar and cream.

Please... Please tell me...

Well, fine.

But you better not talk to Jim.
It's a surprise.

This is a special whistle.

What is it for?

Be still and I'll tell you.

Do you know that stallion
Jim wants to catch?

Hmm!... Well.

That whistle will bring him
right to our door.

Like?

Have you ever heard
of the Judas goat?

What brings sheep
to the slaughterhouse?

You will see

I got a Judas horse.

Pay attention.

Good old Snowball.

Let's get that black stallion,
shall we, boy?

Let me try it please?

Absolutely not!

Not twice!

It took two months to get him
to come to me and I won't...

Did you smell anything?
Just burnt bread.

Yes. I thought that was it.

Burnt bread! Oh no!

Damn oven!
It burned everything!

Hey! Come back here
with my horse!

Mary Jane!

Hey, you thief! Come back here!

That's it!
Just like your mother!

How nice.

This is your chance.

I have the whistle
but you know how to do it.

You take it over there,
I do the rest.

Go get him.

And don't forget to come
back when I whistle.

It's no use! You can beat yourself
as much as you want.

I won't let you go!

Forgive me, girl. Scared you?

Do not.

You are the man I saw
at the store yesterday.

To dominate two wild horses,
you are an incredible one.

My name is Mary Jane.
What is your?

Jay Squire. At your disposal.

Are you at my disposal?

You know, I'm in trouble.

Yes, Mary Jane. I think so.

"SHERIFF GLORIBEE OFFICE"

That's it. Enough of that.

They've already taken Chance
and his gang. Leave it to old Jim.

It's too late, New England.
I do not want to leave you.

We are from two different worlds and
now we have to go back to our place.

Ah!... As I imagined...

Did you think you were going to sneak,
in so I wouldn't catch you, huh?

Mary Jane!

Mary Jane!

Ha-aa, well!...

You have to be more
rascal than Wells Fargo

to stop by old Jeb here.

So you have to be
very tricky huh?

Jim?

Are you planning something
special, Jeb?

No. I just came here
to set the barn on fire.

Damn female seats!

He took my horse and
he's running around!

Wait only when I meet her!

And you want to know
something?

What are you talking about?
What is the problem?

Mary Jane! She's the problem!

She ran away with Snowball six hours
ago and so far has not returned!

She's just a child.

Time means nothing when
she's on horseback. Yes?

She is afraid to come back.

So we will have to send
a search after her.

Now I got in trouble.

Hey Jim! Come quick!

I said I was going to have
a problem! Look that!

More cut than dog meat.

That little bugger
sent him back,

because she is,
afraid to come back.

It doesn't look like something
she would do.

Look around.
You don't see her, do you?

That's horse hoof cutting.

Horse's hoof? Oh no...

I knew I shouldn't
have told her.

Told what? This horse here.

About how I've been training
him for Judas horse.

How is it?
To catch the black stallion.

Well... The horse Judas is fine.

But what about Mary Jane?

Hey, Jim...

She's still around.

Tell Bo to go after me.

Tell me to meet you
in Vale do Sal.

There must be
something I can do.

Yes. Go to the city and
prepare a search if we need it.

Mary Jane!

Mary Jane!

Hardie! Up here!

Looking for something?

Yes, I am. Where is she?

It's not that easy.
But we make it easy.

Where is she?
I have an agreement for you.

You know,
that I take you to her.

What if I don't
accept your agreement?

She dies. You decide.

Decide soon.

Do we go alone or do you
find her under the valley?

It's all right.

It's all right. We are agreed.

Roll it up right!

Have you found her, Jim?

No, no...

I went up thinking I could,
to find something...

I look around here.

You go to the plains and
look there. Plains?

Jeb said that Mary Jane
went after the black stallion.

You know as well as I do that he doesn't
go there. There is no water there.

You talk too much
and don't listen.

Don't argue with me.
Will soon!

And one more thing.

Do you remember where
we were this morning?

We will stay there.
Perhaps.

Maybe I remember a lot.

So Hardie...

Drop the belt...

He has a whole plan
in place.

I'm not that specific anymore.

He killed me, with a bullet.

We will...

Patience, Mary Jane.

Even your stallion knows
that he has to guard his strength.

You and I know
the advantages of waiting.

Mary Jane...

Wait!

Are you worried, Mr. Hardie?

Resentments are not resolved,
with Squire innocent people.

Resentments?

Why not call it a prize?
For ten years of waiting?

If there's anything to solve,
it's between you and me.

Not with her. Let her go.
On the contrary.

She brought us together.
On the right time...

On the right place.

With a gun, behind my back?

I could have done
that back in the city.

I thought you were,
a man who wanted accidents.

Ah, but you're going
to have an accident, Mr. Hardie.

It's an impressive
turn, don't you think?

Trampled to death by the horse,
which you so wanted.

Take the strings.

It will be slow, Hardie.

A little at a time.

Thanks.

I arrived halfway, the way

before I realized what
you meant.

It was close by. Too close.

Watch them.
Where are you going?

I'll take care of our little
friend over there.

What do you think,
what were you doing?

Going out with that
horse like a trainer.

I could have killed you.

I'll tell you something.

I'll take you back to the city.

I just want to see,
what your mom will say.

What do you have to say?
Nothing.

I didn't want that horse at all.

Why did you go after him?
I went to get it for you!

So why don't you like me?
What makes you think not?

You never even noticed me.

So I had to give you
something special. Oh!...

Do you think you can go out
and buy friends, do you?

Let me ask you a question.

We are friends, aren't we?

You... Every time I go on a trip,
don't I always bring you a gift?

Hmm!... So if I forget you

to bring a gift are
we not friends anymore?

Not! This has nothing to do!
Of course it has to do!

Do you know what's more important
to me now than anything?

That horse, I believe.

There was a time,
I thought the same.

But now it's more
important for you to know,

that you don't buy,
what you already have: a friend.

And there is only one way
to prove it. I'll show.

We're still friends, aren't we?
You can be sure.

Go get the horse
and let's go home. Fine...

See if you can, Miss Murdoc.

You will always be welcome here.
Thank you, Jim.

I can accept,
the invitation anytime.

Great. Bye.

Hey Jim...
You were more than fair.

I want you to know that I have
changed, my reading habits.

From Cicero to Mr. Beacher.

Not good...

I would not leave Cicero out.

Each has a different
point of view.

I think it is important to try
to understand both.

All aboard.

I better go I want
to write the last chapter

while it's still fresh,
in my head.

Goodbye, Jim.
Thanks for everything.

Bye. I hope you come
back one day.

I believe that I
have changed the way

of looking at the facts
about the West.

I found out,
that I was a very lucky person.

I can understand my family...

when young we don't
know how to read,

who are the real friends.

I now see life, from a different angle.
