The Big Gundown (1966) - full transcript

Jonathan Corbett is a gunman so brave to have eliminated all the bandits of Texas. For this he is proposed for the candidacy to the Senate of the United States. In exchange he has only to support the construction of one railway line. Only after he accepts does he come to know that the Mexican Cuchillo has raped and killed a 12 year old girl. Corbett leaves on a long manhunt during which he gets to know his adversary better and discovers a variation on the crime for which the accused Cuchillo may not be as guilty as he first thought.

Are you Goolic?

I've been waiting for you.

Looks like you've had a long trip.

300 miles. Yeah, we

left Texas fast.

So fast we killed our horses. Another

mile of walking would kill us too.

But we've got the loot

here, safe and sound.

Problem is that Corbett's

back there, just behind us.

Don't be a fool.

We're in Colorado now.

And Corbett can't cause trouble here.

What do you say?

Have the times been

good or bad here, Goolic?

Bad for outlaws.

Especially if they're

wanted for murder.

They hang them just

like they do in Texas.

And if you don't believe

me, ask Goolic.

Who are you?

Don't you understand,

you idiot?

When we thought we had him behind

us! He was in front all the while.

That's him. That's Jonathan Corbett.

Unbuckle your belt.

Hello, Corbett. How are you?

Fine. Thank you.

May I present Mr. Brockston?

I've heard a lot about you.

Really? Not as much as

I've heard about you.

Miller, as father of the groom, I would

imagine you'd have some advice to offer.

Yes. Excuse me, gentlemen.

Well,

this is my secretary,

Mr. Lynch.

And this is Captain von Schulenberg,

who's a genuine Austrian Baron.

My bodyguard.

Your name is well-known in Texas.

In Austria we also know of it.

Professional courtesy.

You're being complemented. The

Baron was the best shot in Europe.

23 duals, 23 widows.

My compliments.

Thank you. I'm sure

you've done better.

I think the Baron is anxious to have

you demonstrate your skill against his.

I stopped playing with guns

when I was a boy of ten.

As you I surround myself

with the best in every deal.

Shall we take a walk?

Corbett, I've heard that

you have political ambitions.

Some of my friends want me to run for it.

But I don't think, I have much of a chance.

You don't value yourself enough.

Why, in Texas you're more

popular than Davey Crockett.

You've cleaned out this

whole area of outlaws.

It's entirely at your

own policing.

Also one time you were

the Sheriff. Not officially.

And then, not for long.

My saloon with a gambling

table was more profitable.

You know what you need?

You need someone to buy you a

campaign of high-level proportions.

You mean someone like you?

Excatly.

Why?

You and only you can help

me realize a great project.

The building of a railroad

from the United States to

Mexico through Texas.

The only thing I need is a man like you in

Senate to support me with the government.

My railroad would advance this

state up to twenty years in one day.

Are you really interested in

the progress of this country?

Well, let's say

I construct this railroad

and make millions of dollars.

But I do construct it.

And only I can.

What do you say, Senator?

Alright.

As long as we understand

one another, Brockston.

I'm interested in progress.

Not your personal profit.

Fair enough.

Hey, Chet! Well, I'll be.

The McCoy brothers.

Where've you two been

keeping yourselves?

Sorry, interfering the festivities.

But you should know all of this.

We've been to Lonely Corner.

Yeah, Baker's little girl, no

more than 12 years old,

she's been raped and

stabbed to death.

We found her body a

couple of hours ago.

Do you know who it was?

A Mexican. A young barman

called Cuchillo.

Cuchillo Sanchez.

"Sanchez, the Knife".

We followed him for twenty miles.

But he was too smart to catch.

He's heading South.

Probably making steady tracks for

that Mexican day labourers camp.

We're going after him. The Sheriff will

have to organize the posse right now.

Miller,

what's the sense of us

sending out a 30-man posse

when we've got one man

who can do it all by himself?

All honest men would be grateful to the

one who brings this murderer to justice.

I'll bring you the Mexican

for a wedding present.

Here.

This will make you my honorary

deputy. What do I need this for?

Wear it.

The star can come in handy.

And shine brightly on your plans?

Yeah.

Hasta Manana.

Corbett,

don't you need information

about the Mexican?

His name is Cuchillo Sanchez

and he'll be headed South.

Who is he?

Jonathan Corbett.

He's a manhunter.

He's looking around?

Looking over here yet?

Not yet.

Is Cuchillo here?

He, Senor!

Maybe I could help you.

When someone talks to me

I want to see his face.

Be careful, Signore. He's quick

with a knife, as you can see.

Where is he? He's sitting

in the barber's chair.

Get back, barber. I want

the man in the chair.

Get up, Cuchillo!

You're the barber, aren't you?

Then give me a shave.

The great, great Corbett

with a Greek.

Who is he? What have

you caught? A big one?

Not very.

His name is Cuchillo Sanchez.

I would have taken

him in alive.

But he put up a fight.

It isn't Cuchillo. This boy just

happens to look a lot like him.

This is Paco Molinas. Sentenced

last month for robbery and murder

and made an escape

Sentence is paid in full. Amen.

But you happened to

get the wrong man.

Because his clothes were the

same. And when I found him,

it was my horse he was riding.

Well, if things were like that,

you can stop looking around for Cuchillo.

This one here found him first.

Right now, the vultures have turned

your Mexican to a heap of bones.

Well,

I'm going to find a hotel room.

I'll be leaving tomorrow.

There ain't no hotel anymore.

There's nothing left.

After the gold played out of here,

those that could just pulled out

and left everything standing.

But as a favour I'll let you have

the bunk in the front cell.

Of course, for friends there's

another arrangement if you like.

The best thing about my work is, you soon

become acquainted with all kinds of people.

Yesterday I had a Mexican who said, "If you

know anyone around here who could pass

for me, I'll give him a gun and a

horse riding." Can you imagine?

"Why?" I say. "Because I

want to have some fun."

And would you believe it?

He did.

Come here!

Sure!

If you think we've

talked enough.

Where did you get this?

Who gave you this?

Don't... careful with my hand!

Who gave you this?

The Mexican. The one I told

you about before. When?

Yesterday, some time around noon.

Come on. What difference does it make to you?

What was he like?

Better mannered than you are.

That's for sure.

He had a nicer face than

you have too! So there!

More sympathetic, more gentle.

And he's much richer too.

So if you told me, he was

a very rich Mexican Grandy.

And if he hadn't been set on

going with the Mormons,

he could have stayed all night,

too. Then I could convince him

to stay with me.

What a man...

Hey!

What a nerve!

If I take my hand away from

your mouth, will you be quiet?

Tell me. Is there a

young Mexican with you?

Yes.

Which wagon is he in?

Why? I put him in mine.

But, right now he's at the spring

getting water with little Sarah.

Little Sarah?

How old is little Sarah?

13.

Why do you ask?

Because this boy is wanted for

rape and murder of a little girl.

Hey, Sarah!

Come in the water and play.

Adelante!

Come! See the

little fishes.

Come on, Sarah. Come on.

The water here is shallow.

You can touch the bottom.

See?

Come on! No. Sarah,

please. Come on!

Don't make me come.

Sarah.

Hey listen, we play a game.

You be the Mormon girl

and I be the wolf.

Oh, what a pretty

thing you are, Sarah.

Come over, Sarah.

Let me see.

Sarah, come on.

So that's it!

you want to play?

Ok.

Stop it.

Get up, Cuchillo!

I could easily kill you right now.

Please, don't. Don't rob me, Signore!

I swear, I'm a poor Mexican.

By the virgin of Kuala Lumpur.

Have mercy. Don't kill me.

He wants to rob us.

Please, don't let him.

Come on!

Please say you meant that.

You meant it, didn't you?

He did mean to rob us,

I thought.

He was a bandit.

Please, say so. Si.

He was a bandit.

But, worst of all,

he was an idiot.

Adieus, Chica. And gracias.

Adieus!

Sarah, what happened? I had

to shoot him. He was a bandit.

He was going to rob and

kill us. Be quiet, Sarah.

Just let me look at him.

Doesn't seem serious.

Cuchillo.

Where's Cuchillo?

The boy's escaped.

At least I got here. Before

he hurt your daughter.

My daughter?

Sarah?

Sarah's my fourth wife.

Who are you?

Just a poor bandit who doesn't

bother asking names, Signore.

I'm here because my

stomach's empty.

Clear out!

Go on now. Get moving.

Si, Signore. But if that

man's job is open now

maybe I could do it?

You don't have to

give me much,

but please, I need work.

We don't have jobs

for Mexicans here.

No, wait.

There's a job if the man wants it.

It will take a while for

Mike to get patched up.

Is there anything you're best?

Best in all I do, Signora.

Perhaps. We'll see.

The man is hungry.

Get a plate.

Not me.

That's an order.

Feel like working now?

Now I could stop a bull

with my two hands.

Alright. You show us

what you can do.

Now, who's got an idea?

Well,

we've got old Barney who's

big and he's sure mean.

He's right back there in the old ranch.

Aye. We've got old Barney.

We've been waiting

for you, wrangler.

That's old Barney. You said you could

stop a bull with your bare hands,

didn't you? Come on.

Prove it.

I showed you.

Come in the house with me.

You can rest. I'll take you there.

Go to hell.

Come here.

As I order. It must be at my

orders, just like the others.

What are you doing, Mr.?

I'm taking this man with me.

He belongs to us.

He's wanted by the law.

In these mountains we've got no

law but the bullets in our guns.

I said, I'm taking Cuchillo with me.

You've been told he's

not going back there.

Stop it!

Men, put away your guns.

I blame my men for

what happened.

They shouldn't have

provoked you, Senior...

Corbett.

I rather think I owe you an apology.

But I don't want you to believe

that this place is so backward

and so barren that the rules

of hospitality have been forgotten.

Come to the house.

That one, he'll go back with you.

Put him in a safe place.

He'll be quite alright,

I assure you.

May you burn. May your own mother

mourn your birth and pray that you will die.

You'll have some tea?

So, I found myself a widow and

alone on this isolated ranch.

It's very lonely for a woman. Especially

because I was educated for finer things.

You both may go.

These men talk and act

just like beasts, you see.

It's hard

to keep on holding

their respect.

By the looks of things,

you're doing alright.

What are they doing?

She's got him alone.

See? She has a new one,

you poor idiot.

You should know by

now how she does it.

I bet she didn't wait a minute as

soon as you got out of the room.

Shut your mouth!

You know why I feel

sorry for you poor boys

because you're sharing this time

with me while they're there alone.

Now he's kissing her soft, white neck,

while she runs her fingers up his back.

Soon, there's nothing

she won't give to him.

So he reaches out...

Shut up! I'll kill you

if you don't shut up.

The best thing that's happened in

this place is our meeting one another.

What are you trying to say?

Can't you see though, now?

It's just beginning.

He's quick with a gun.

He can take what he wants.

And she'll try to keep him here.

It is bound to happen.

But if he stays he'll

be your new boss.

He'll be here forever. And he'll

get rid of you all, one by one.

Well, I'm in it too.

You know what he

came here for.

If I go back there

to the gringos

they'll make me hang.

But, if we all go after him we can

stop him. Or else, we'll beat them.

And if we do? I tell you,

it's in your hands.

We wait for him to come out,

and then we shoot him first.

Give me a gun. We

can kill him together.

Listen, Amigo! You'd

better be right.

We'll keep an eye on you.

You watch me.

You'll see me kill him

even before you can shoot.

Well...

a nice idea?

You keep hoping that.

Keep hoping.

We need a man here. A real man of strength.

A man like you. Stay here, Corbett.

No.

You wouldn't be satisfied

with just one man.

You enjoy being queen

bee too much.

I saw you look at

that Mexican outside.

You saved him only

for one reason:

So you could kill him yourself.

Thanks for the tea.

I can stop them.

Get back!

Next it's you, Mexican, if

you don't start shooting.

Listen, I'll try to get around behind him.

If you can keep him busy in front.

Right. Go ahead.

Keep him under fire.

Adieus Cuchillo.

Adieus Americanos!

You fool! It's a kid's trick to make you

shoot and waste all of your ammunition.

You won't fool me this time.

Where are you? Come

up and show yourself.

Here I am.

No.

No, wait, please.

I beg you. I'm afraid.

Please don't leave me

here alone. Please.

Don't leave me here alone.

Good water?

Tastes good, Cuchillo?

It tasted better a minute ago.

I've been waiting for you.

It's the only water around.

For a hundred miles.

Next time you steal a horse,

make sure there's a canteen.

Get down!

Take it easy.

You stink.

If the pistol didn't make you

brave, you couldn't do this to me.

You talking to me?

And if it weren't for those

stupid pigs back there,

you wouldn't have even

a chance to catch me.

I would have made you run.

You would never get me by

yourself! Understand? Never.

By yourself, you couldn't

catch a limping snail.

Go ahead.

When I've finished breakfast, I'll

get the horse and catch up with you.

You must have come out

of your mother rotten.

Hungry?

Well, I guess even

animals have to eat. Here.

What bothers you about me?

I've got nothing against you.

It's the law you broke that counts.

So that's it.

And why does the law count?

You mean, you don't know?

I do know a law.

The one that says most

of the words in two parts,

the masters and the obeyers.

In my country, there

was such a law.

And no one ever knew who

wrote it. But we lived under it.

Then, one day we listened to Juarez.

And he said we should change it.

Everybody should be nice

and people should stop hating

each other and let the peons go free.

We thought it would work for a

while. But nothing really changed.

So, you started running again.

What was the use?

Because I always get stopped.

You don't see, what cares I've got.

Bet you don't know

I've got a family.

I've got 3 children. No

money to feed them. My

wife is a saint. She works from morning

to night as a maid to a priest.

And if I was in your

place, I bet I would say,

"This man should be free to go."

If I was in your place,

I'd say the same thing.

But I wouldn't be foolish enough to

expect another man to believe me.

Listen, don't you think, you owe

me some gratitude?

I helped you at the ranch, remember?

So you could run.

You needed the extra time to

escape. But, if I hadn't you...

Besides I'm not able to kill a man unless

it's a fair fight. I couldn't do it.

But a girl of twelve.

Her, you could?

Bravo! May you rest

in peace, little snake.

You saw it?

You got a bite.

If you want, I can draw it out. This is

the only way to get rid of the poison.

Otherwise it'll soon get into

your veins and kill you.

It's that fast.

Don't think you have a lot

of time. In another minute

it could be too late.

Well?

It still isn't enough,

you know.

Now it should be burnt

to close up the wound.

Yes. We really should burn it.

Get up!

Turn around!

No tricks!

Not me. I told you I couldn't

kill a man in cold blood.

Now, maybe you believe it.

Go ahead.

I'll be dead in a couple

of minutes anyway.

See?

This is what bit you. Here.

It's yours.

You want it?

If you don't kill me right now,

it will be the last mistake

you ever make.

But to kill you is a

bigger mistake.

If I kill you, they'll just send another

man after me who is much smarter much.

Anyway,

now you'll owe me something.

I could have killed you, I didn't.

Now we have an account

to settle, you and I.

The next time, remember.

But there won't be a next time.

Because you'll never get me.

Is it blessed, Padre?

Easy, Mr. There's plenty

here. Don't gulp it.

Thank you.

You look like someone who

took the wrong turn by mistake.

What the world happened?

How long have you been out here?

Four, five days. I don't know.

Take it easy.

You've got to rest.

I'm after a man, an outlaw.

You've got to give me a horse

and a gun. You're pulling my leg.

He's headed towards Mexico and I've got

to catch him before he reaches the border.

I haven't any money on me.

But any Sheriff in Texas will vouch

for me and pay you.

My name's Corbett.

Jonathan Corbett.

Alright, Corbett. I'll try to

be of some help to you.

You can climb on my wagon and get

some rest. We are going to California.

But, as soon as we get

to the first town...

I'm losing time.

I need a horse now.

A horse?

You expect me to part

with one year Loca, here?

Let him escape.

Someone else will catch him.

If he gets in to Mexico...

Don't you understand?

He's free.

No. I don't understand.

I'm sorry.

Leave...

Leave him alone!

You should make some kind of

sound, coming through the door.

One more minute, if

want the future.

Do you see that knife?

Yes, of course. Here.

But I asked him to please

don't show it to brothers me.

He doesn't like to peel

out like this.

Who gave it to you?

A Mexican boy.

Where is he?

He is not here now.

He departed yesterday.

He is gone to Mexico.

We live right by the boy.

You mean he crossed it?

Yes and you must be

lines of hundred over.

Because you say it is?

You don't have the right

to cross that line.

Cuchilo belongs to the

law of my country.

I'm not talking about the law.

When you cross over that line,

you'll be as bas as here's.

I becomes a personal

matter and you know it.

It's my job to bring him in.

That pistol being hanging to

your belt along why lies it?

In time, its weight always

changes, man.

What do you know about

men who carry gun?

Do you mind give it

to me for a minute?

These days, they

see much lighter.

Did you see that?

It is an old habit.

And yet it had been 30 years.

When I first came here,

the brothers promptly

named me

brother Smith the Western.

That mine the whole time.

I was running.

Anybody who can shoot like

you doesn't have to run?

I hated the mad man

that I had become inside.

You must uprunning.

You can't keep thinking

what would happen to you.

Do you understand?

Yes, I'm sure you do.

But you don't care.

I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry also.

But you!

Murdered a child?

Yes. A little girl.

How old was this girl?

Twelve.

Was she good looking?

Was it your sister?

Was it your cousin?

I never saw her.

I don't understand.

Why are you following after this

Cuchillo? You must be a Sheriff.

No.

I don't get you.

Captain,

in my country, even

a private citizen

who believes in justice

can help out the law.

But now you come to Mexico.

That's right. Now I'm asking

you to help me find this man.

I'm not sure I should.

You can't even prove

to me who you are.

Look, you must have

heard of this Cuchillo.

I know he lives in your town.

He said his wife worked

for the Padre.

That's a big laugh. The Padre

never let her enter a church.

Rosita's worked in a

bordello since she was 15. Yes.

I know Cuchillo.

I know that one well.

He's one of those pieces of

trash who stood with Juarez.

Then you're looking for him too?

Maybe I am.

But, I'm not doing it for you.

In that case, I'll find him

myself. Goodbye, Captain.

You know, Signore, there

are people I hate even worse

than followers of Juarez.

I despise all Americanos.

So you go ahead. Have fun.

It makes no difference to me

who kills who. But, be careful.

You do anything in this town to cause

me trouble and I'll cause you more.

So, watch out!

I'm looking for the wife of

Cuchillo. Her name is Rosita.

Are you Rosita?

Twenty. You pay it now.

Are you the wife of Cuchillo?

Don't talk to me about

being the wife of that pig.

How long has it been since he was here?

3 months he doesn't think about me.

And he showed up here yesterday.

Promised to stay here with me,

then stole all I had. Took

my Madonna from me.

Where's he gone now?

How do I know?

He's probably out drunk, giving

another woman what I earned.

But I pray he'll come back. And then I scratch

his eyes out that good-for-nothing pig

Alright, calm down!

When I find him, there

won't be a next time.

Why do you say that?

He won't bother you anymore

because he'll be hung for murder.

Hang my man? Yes.

You... you want to hang my man?

I'll kill you. Filthy scum!

You're defending him?

A rapist. A murderer.

Don't you understand?

Help! Help! Stop him.

He's a thief. He tried to

go without paying me.

Do you hear? Don't let

him get away. No.

Wait a minute.

I said, no trouble from you.

And you didn't listen.

Signora,

I'll take you now.

And next you come

and you come,

and then, you...

One moment. This one goes with us.

That is, if you have no objection.

No problem, Signore.

I don't object. After all,

I'm a peaceful man.

Damned! Since when you put a man

in prison because he drank a little?

How many laws do you have anyway?

Is it now a crime for

a man to be happy?

It's a crime to knife people and then to bite a policeman

when he tries to stop you burn down the place.

No. It was those two

who provoked me.

And the damn lamp fell out of my

hand. And the policeman put

his hand in my mouth. I only

closed it. Come on get in.

But I swear. Now, you be quiet.

You're a brave man when there

are bars between us. Coward!

Guard! Come back.

Don't leave me in here.

What's wrong? Help!

This man is mad. Let me out.

I want to get out, away

from this maniac. Tell me what he

did to you. He tried to kill me.

As soon as you turn your back, he'll

go for me again. Better cut out

that shouting. No. I'll keep

shouting all night long.

And if I hear you breath again, I'll shut

your dirty, stinking mouth for you.

Understand?

No.

You're the coward.

I'm not afraid of you, if

that's what's bothering you.

Here's the reason for

wanting my cell changed.

I've been in this jail before. And the

last time, no one bothered to search me.

Why don't you make a racket?

Stop me from going.

Do you know, you're

a strange person?

Me If I was in your place, I'd have the guard

at that door without batting an eye.

It's fortunate for me my country's

walls are made of mud and dried spit.

I'll get you.

You can't run fast enough

for far enough.

I'll hunt you down and kill you

like the rotten beast you are.

Beast? But, what about

what you are?

Yes, I'm a beast alright, because

I have to keep running.

But, can I stop to explain

myself without being killed?

But, you must have proof?

No, not you. They told you I was guilty

and right away you start running after me.

You're the beast because you didn't

even ask if it was true or not.

But what if I give you a big

laugh? What if I tell you

I didn't murder that girl?

It so happens, I know who did.

You'd laugh too

if you knew who that

person really was.

If you don't know already.

Because if you know the truth,

from now on,

you'll be the one who's hunted.

And you'll find you had much

more fun when you were the hunter.

Adieus, Amigo.

You'll never get me, Amigo!

Open up!

You're free now. Get out!

You've been cleared.

San Antonio sent a telegram.

You're Corbett, alright.

Now, watch out! I'm not forgetting...

That dirty swine, Cuchillo. Who

else could escape in half an hour?

So you can continue the hunt. Don't

worry. No one will stop you, you know.

As I already told you, here in Mexico,

the Americanos

and the dogs of Juarez can

make trouble for each other

with the approval of the authorities.

May I buy it for you?

Baron, ask him where

in the devil he's been.

Corbett,

I have been looking

for you for two days.

No, Brockston, I don't

buy your idea.

Listen to me.

When the telegram from

the Mexican police arrived,

I knew this where is from.

So, I took the effort to come

here personally. And I did so,

not to listen to your opinion,

but to clear up this matter.

In amongst all this is a matter

of a million dollars that

never gets billed because

of a despicable Mexican.

Right now, the despicable Mexican

means more to me than all your money

or the election.

But, you also belong

to me, Corbett.

Therefore I want that Mexican liquidated.

I've my own method, Brockston.

But your own method has failed.

Now we'll use mine.

And I guarantee you, this

two-bit Mexican won't get

away from me.

Our gentle owner of the

house is not easily offended.

After all, he hopes to participate

in our railroad transaction.

And furthermore, he doesn't

always understand our language.

I've prepared all my men, Signore.

They're all waiting outside the house now.

That is, I trust you're

still decided on it?

Well, at least as sure as you are of

wanting to enter into my business.

Yet,

I understand he's a

Mexican just like you are.

No. This man's a bad peon.

Now, listen to me. Each

one of you will be paid

one hundred pesos.

Is that clear?

And the one who catches

him will be paid...

one thousand pesos.

And remember,

I want this Cuchillo caught.

All you have to do is find him.

But, turn this country upside down

if you have to. But, find him.

Alright now, clear off.

How long will you

be gone this time?

I don't know.

Where will you go?

Somewhere I guess.

Bet you don't know what you can

see when you look out over these eras.

This isn't Cuchillo, you fool!

Sorry, Captain Segura.

We seem to be having a lot

of trouble tonight. What is it?

Don Serrano's riders are all over the town.

Armed and looking for someone.

Don Serrano!

He's a big gentleman.

A proprietor. Pays a big

tax and puts out much

money for the church.

What will we do?

Do what I'm going to do.

Go to bed. Sleep.

Those who sleep don't see

and don't hear.

May I ask you a question,

Corbett?

When you are about to kill

a man, what do you look at?

I've asked this question of other men.

And do you know what they always say?

They look at his hands.

I don't.

I look at his eyes.

Because a moment before

he moves his hand,

his eyes betray him.

And you can always

read death in them.

Yours.

Or his.

How much longer do

we have to stay in Mexico?

Why don't you leave this

matter by himself?

Can't we go home?

Don't you have too

much already?

For once, please don't, Chet.

Cut it out! Go to hell.

Leave me alone!

What's happened? I'm packing

my trunk tonight. I'm going home.

What?

I can't stand it anymore.

Not with Chet.

You do something like that

and I'll wring your neck.

But our marriage is...

Yours isn't a marriage.

It's an optional Miller's land

over which my railroad must pass.

That's a lot of capital. And you

know I don't want anybody

to touch that capital.

You. Hey, you!

Si, Signore?

No.

It's alright, relax.

No, Signore! No.

Damn you!

You bundler.

Didn't you learn anything

the first time?

Did you have to try it once more?

What are you trying to say?

You know damn well what I mean.

When did you know I was

the one? When it was too late,

after you'd married my daughter.

When those two red-headed friends

of yours showed up at the party.

You pretended you'd just

saw them. I knew for a

fact that you'd seen

them the night before.

So, I had a little talk

with them like this.

And what did they tell you?

The truth.

That you got drunk

and you raped and

killed that little girl and the

Mexican saw you do it. So you

got frightened and

you blamed him.

What will I do if they talk?

Don't worry.

They won't say anything anymore.

Did you ask yourself why

you haven't seen them lately?

I thought they'd just gone

away. They did.

With Baron Von Schulenburg.

Go ahead.

You idiot!

You think I did it for you?

I did it for my daughter.

I did it because I don't

want anybody to know

that my daughter is married

to a murdering violator.

Now, there's only one left.

And when it's over...

... tomorrow after the Mexican is dead,

then I begin to think about you.

Where is he?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him.

I don't know. I swear...

Where is he?

You bitch!

Where is he? Talk.

No, no, no! No!

Let her go, you pig!

What is it? Did they

hurt you? No, no.

But, go!

Please, Cuchillo. Run!

Yes. I'll send for you, Rosita.

Run. Go now!

Be careful.

We'll be together.

You'll see.

Go now.

I designed this holster myself.

I originated it.

When I realised that in America,

the swiftness of the draw

is more important

than the precision

of the shooting.

I'll go and see if they've

saddled the horses.

The sun is rising.

It looks like a big ball of blood.

I say, that's an omen.

What to choose...

Not those.

These. You know,

with one of these you can

stop the charge of a mad buffalo.

It explodes inside

of the body like that.

You didn't know that hunting

was my passion, did you?

After making money.

Yes, I've been to Africa

and India looking for all

types of animals to kill.

But there's still one type of

animal that I haven't hunted

not with a gun, that is.

The hunting of man.

Should be interesting.

They've seen it.

It seems he's hidden

in the cane fields.

What's wrong? They don't

catch him to pick up his scent.

Alright. Keep them

here then. Come on!

No. If we stop, Corbett, we'll never catch

Cuchillo. It's better if we spread out.

Brockston, you take the

Baron and go around that side.

Chet, you come with me.

You men here, go to

Signore Brockston.

Where is he?

We gotta go on foot.

You seem nervous.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying, don't

make any mistakes.

Got that?

Over there.

Go on!

Hold it!

What a stupid idiot I've been.

I always thought you were

an honest man Americano.

And now I see how blind I was.

You will kill me to

cover up the truth.

Go on!

You know what I'm talking about.

Yeah. I know now.

Drop the rifle.

No. The blade.

What's happened here?

You're not blind.

Alright. Kill him.

Pull the trigger!

Kill him!

I could have killed him

several times, Brockston.

But something seemed wrong.

And when you involved yourself

personally in this thing,

I knew it was wrong.

You thought, I'd shoot first

and then think, is that it?

That was your mistake.

You're really too damn

smart to be a Senator.

Alright, Baron, he's yours.

Brockston,

there's still a bullet left for you.

Fun's over, Brockston.

It's not over yet, Corbett.

I'm the man in charge.

You'd miss at that range.

I go in that direction.

I go lower.

Cuchillo!

But you never would have got me.

Never!
