03x30 - We've Lost a Train

[bunniefuu]

[ Mooing ]

[ Bawling ]

[ Bawling ]

Yes, sir. It's a great life--
if you like eatin' dust.

- Boy, am I tuckered out.
- I guess you won't be goin'
to the big dance tonight then.

[ Chuckles ]
Sometimes you say
the funniest things.

But you just said
you was tired.

Randy, when you get
a little older--
and a lot brighter--

you'll learn to realize
nothing revives
a tired man...

like a couple
of cold beers
in his belly...

and a beautiful girl
in his arms.

No, sir. I can't think
of anything...

that's gonna keep me
from going to that
little ol' dance tonight.

Well, I can.

Boss wants to see you
up at the ranch house.
[ Laughs ]

Whatever he wants
to see me about.

Well, now. You want me
to give him that
little ol' message?

No. I'll tell him myself.

Maybe he needs my advice
about something.

Hey, don't you leave
without me. And take care
of ol' Buck for me.

[ Laughs ]He sure is something,
ain't he?

Yeah, he is.
You know, he reminds me
of something that ol' Abe--

that's President Lincoln--
is supposed to have said
about one of his generals.

He said it seemed like
every time he saw
this particular general,

he was either
decoratin' him
or bawlin' him out.

I wonder which
it's gonna be this time.

[ Laughs ]
Who knows?

Hi, Trampas.Howdy. Boss man
sent for me.

Oh, come on in.
He's in Daddy's study.Thank you.

What do you hear
from your father?

Oh, he's having
a fine time.Good.

Are you going
to the dance tonight?

Now, why does everybody
keep asking me if I'm going
to the dance?

Sure, I'm going.Good. Be sure
and dance with me.

Betsy, you're not supposed
to do the askin'.

You're supposed
to leave that up
to the fellas.

Oh. All right.
But be sure you do.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Virginian ]
Come in.

Howdy.
[ Chuckles ]

Well, I see they got you
doin' paperwork.

Yeah, sometimes I think
that's why the judge goes away.
Sit down.

What's on your mind?

Uh, you spent some time around
the Texas border before you
came to Shiloh, didn't you?

Can you think of any reason
why it would be inadvisable
for you to go back to Mexico?

No. Not offhand.

Better be sure.

Well, I don't think
I did anything for anybody
to hold any grudges.

Why?But you do know the country?

Like the back of my hand.

A little dust.
I just came off the range.

I haven't had a chance
to wash up for
that dance tonight.

- I'm afraid you're gonna
have to miss that dance.
- I kinda had a feelin' I might.

Did you ever hear of a man
named don Carlos Alvarez?

No, I can't say I have.

Well, he's got a big
cattle ranch down in Mexico.

Before the judge left,
he bought a prize bull
from him.

I want somebody to go
down there and pick him up.

Here's your ticket
as far as San Antonio.

Pick up the stage there and
go on to Laredo, then pick up a
horse for the rest of the trip.

Judge left this
for expense money.

He's sending
a bank draft to Alvarez
for the price of the bull.

That ought to be more than
enough for any emergencies.

By emergencies, I mean,
uh, accident or illness or
any other unforeseen disaster.

That doesn't include
making an attempt to fill
an inside straight...

or making love
to somebody else's girl...

or trying to find out
how much liquor you can hold.

I think I understand
what you're tryin' to tell me.

Good. By the way, I'd keep that
roll out of sight in Laredo.

Last time I was down there,
it was a real tough town.

- Well, have a good trip.
- [ Laughs ]
Yes, sir. I-I sure will.

And no poker. No women.
No liquor.

Yes, sir, I sure will.

Trampas!

Uh, what did he want?

Oh, uh, he just wants me
to do a little errand for him.

Oh. Well, will you be
through in time
for the dance?

No, I don't think so.
It's, uh, down to Mexico.

Mexico? What's he
sending you there for?

Well, can you think
of anyplace farther?
[ Chuckles ]

So long, Betsy.

[ Horse Approaching ]

Hello, Trampas.Hello.

Is Betsy home?Yeah. I just talked to her.

Wait till you see
the new dress I bought
for the dance tonight.

Well, I'm afraid
that's gonna be
kind of a long wait.

Why? Aren't you gonna
dance with me?

I won't be there.

Now, Trampas, if you
and the boys think you're going
to play poker Saturday night...

when I went out
and bought a new dress--No, no, not that.

The rest of the hands
will be there.

I'm the only one
that can't make it.Are you sure?

I have to catch
a train tonight.

I mean about the other boys
being there.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Well, I know it won't be
the same without me--You have a nice trip now.

Hmm.

It's not my day.

[ Cheering ]

Nice place.
[ Chuckles ]

You'll get a laugh out of this.
Last thing a fella said
to me before I left--

He said, "Be careful.
Laredo's a tough town."

- [ Gasps ]
- I'll teach you
to fool around with other men.

[ Groans ]Excuse me. Hey!

Oh--Get out of my way.

Huh?Get out of my way!

Well, now, I can't exactly
oblige you right now.

- Oh, one of those
trouble hounds, huh?
- No, no--

Well, I just don't seem
to be able to move.

Well, maybe this will help.

You better stay
where you are, cowboy.

I don't like to see
new customers get k*lled.

[ Groaning ]

I buried the last man
who even come close
to knockin' me down.

What'd he die of?

Carmelita, give him his g*n.

Carmelita?

Carmelita Flanagan.Oh.

Quit stallin'
and give him his g*n!

Oh, will I now!

Well, now, look,
maybe you better
give me my g*n--

Don't try it--
either of you.

Like my old grandpappy
always said,

"There's better ways
of dyin' from a bottle."

I'll have to talk to him
about that sometime.

You ain't gonna
live long enough.

Now go on, borrow a g*n.
Take your pick.

Best g*n made.Try mine.

Hand-carved stock
and a good balance.

It's a k*ller.
Got a filed sight
for a quick draw.

You guarantee
the quick draw
goes with it?

- Hey, Reese, the captain
wants you.
- In a minute!

Captain wants you right now.
You know what that means.

Yeah, I know.

It means this is
gonna have to wait.

Well, that's sure too bad.
I mean, I'm real disappointed.

Well, don't start cryin'.
I get off duty at sunset.

I'll see you
in the plaza.

Well, looks like
you bought yourself
another hour, mister.

That's worth
a round of drinks,
ain't it?

Seems reasonable.
Uh, just who is
that fella anyway?

Reese? He's one of the Rangers.

That's how come he had
to leave so sudden.

When Captain Parmalee
says "right now,"

he means immediate.

You, uh, did say drinks.

Uh, may I have
my g*n back now?

If I gave it to you here,

somebody else
might choose you.

The house owes him a beer.

[ Bartender ]
One beer, coming up.

Make that whiskey.

This one's on Carmelita.I can't let her
buy me a drink.

Why not?
She owns the place.

That's different.

[ Footsteps ]

Uh, ma'am?

About my g*n--

What are you doing
in my room?

I got a better question.
What's hedoing in your room?

That's none of your business.
Oh, Reese will k*ll you
if he finds you here.

- Reese is my friend.
- Ha!

On the other hand, however,
this man is not my friend.

Get out.

You're putting on weight,
sweetheart. Too many tacos?

It's his g*n.Oh.
Oh, I'll get it for him.

Oh-- [ Trampas ]
Um--

Maybe she'd like it better
if I got it.

Hmm. Maybe I would.

Maybe.

But I wouldn't.Take your hands off me!
Oh! Stop it!

That's enough!
That's enough! No more!

- Get out of the way.
Get out of the way.
- [ Carmelita Shrieks ]

[ Shrieks ]

Sorry.Oh! Chad!
No!

- Carmelita, get out of the way!
- [ All Shouting ]

Will you please
get out of the way?

[ Shrieks ]

Let's not waste a lot of time.
Go ahead and draw.

Mister,
I got nothin' to draw.

[ Chad ]
Now, hold it, Riley.

[ Groans ]
You're takin' a sight
on my bird.

Well, now, he might have been
your bird, Chad, but he was
sure flyin' my way.

Suppose you rustle yourself up
a g*n and be in the plaza
about 6:00.

Isn't there anything
a man can do in Laredo
except fight?

Well, yes. But you been lookin'
in the wrong places.

Sorry, Riley.
This guy, I staked out
for myself.

Well, I just don't see
your brand on him, Chad.

We'll have to settle
that later.Why later?

Captain wants us
right now.

And when he says "now,"
he means immediate.

Well, you don't mind
waiting till we get
back, do you?

Oh, and, uh,
bring a g*n.

Fella can get k*lled
in this town.

It sure didn't take you
long to buy yourself
three fights.

Mister, I didn't
buy myself anything.

I came in here mindin'
my own business, have a quiet
beer before I hit the road.

And as soon as
I get my g*n back,
I'll be on my way.

Well, good luck, mister.

[ Carmelita ]
Come in.

[ Clears Throat ]

I don't mind
a glass of beer now and then,
but not on my dress.

Make yourself at home.
I'll, uh, be with you
in a minute.

Uh, well, that's mighty nice
of you, but I really don't
have time for a social visit.

Well, you might as well relax.
You probably won't leave town
alive anyway.

- Well, maybe if you just
told me where my g*n is--
- I don't know.

I guess it fell out
during the fight.

Oh. Hand me those
stockings, will you?
On the bed.

I had that bed
made special.

Uh, nice place
you got here.

Thanks.

What's your name, honey?

Trampas. What's yours? I told you.

Yeah, I know, but--

What don't you believe--
the Carmelita or the Flanagan?

Well, it's, uh, kind of
an unusual combination.

[ Chuckles ]
I thought they sounded
pretty nice together.

At least it's a name
you don't forget easily.

Well, I don't think you need
a trick name to be remembered.

[ Laughs ]
That's better.

Now you're beginning
to act human.

Oh, I'm human, all right.

[ Laughs ] Along about now,
you ought to be asking
what a pretty girl like me...

is doing running a saloon
in a town like Laredo.

All right. What's a pretty girl
like you doing runnin' a saloon
in a town like Laredo?

As a matter of fact, what's
anybody in their right mind
doin' in a town like Laredo?

Oh, it's all right
after you get used to it.

You just got off
to a bad start.You might say that.

You know, you're kinda cute.

Maybe I can talk the boys
into not sh**ting you.

Um, the one they call Reese--
is he your fella?

[ Chuckles ]
He thinks he is.

Well, I sorta got
that impression.

Where are you from,
cowboy?

A place called Medicine Bow.
It's in Wyoming.

You married?

No. That's good.

I've got a rule--
never fool around
with a married man.

Of course, you can't always
be sure a man's telling you
the truth,

but at least I always ask.

Oh. Lace me up,
will you?

[ Groans ]

We've lost a train.
Go find it.

Well-- Well, glad to,
Captain.

Now, just how does a train
get lost?

Now, anytime I want
stupid questions, I'll go
to the state legislature.

The train from Galveston
is six hours late.

The stationmaster
at Benavides...

reported the train on time
as it went through.

Benavides--
that's, uh, less than
a hundred miles from here.

Right. After that, not a word.

Now get out and ride track
until you find it.

Now, why does
it take three of us
to find one train?

Chad's smart.
He'll find it
all by himself.

You may run across
more than a train.

This one happened to be
carrying a shipment of gold
from Galveston,

and there might be
some nasty people around.

And I'd like one of you
to get back to Laredo
with the story.

That's all. Head out.

You got yourself
a good horse, mister.

Well, I'm, uh,
much obliged to you.

[ Trampas ] Whoa! Whoa![ Reese ] Whoa, boy.
Whoa, boy. Whoa, boy.

Well, I clean forgot about you.
Much obliged for waitin'.

I wasn't exactly waitin'.

Now, just a minute.
Hold on, Reese.

Oh, this ain't gonna
take no time at all. I'll just
sh**t him from the saddle.

That's not the point now.
It just may be you got
a legitimate claim at him,

but, on the other hand,
I got a claim that involves
the honor of a lady.

Ha! What lady
did you ever know?

Careful, Reese.
I'm referring to Carmelita.

That ain't no lady.
That's my girl!

Exactly. And I stopped
this plowboy here...

from trying to force his way
into her room.

Now, that gives me first shot.

Yeah, I guess you have got
a better claim to him than I--

What were you doin'
in Carmelita's room?

Well, I was just passin' by.
You know how it is.

Sure. Sure, I know how it is.
But I didn't know that you knew!

Now, Chad, I've warned you,
and I've warned Carmelita.

And if I ever catch you
in that room again,
I'll break your back.

[ Riley ]
Now hold on, both of you.

Now, Chad, you gave up
your claim on this fella when
you throwed him down the stairs.

I caught him, so he's mine.

Reese, Chad and Riley,
you were given an order!
Get going!

Yes, sir, Captain!
We're goin'!

[ Door Closes ]Look, uh, young fella,

you, uh-- you wouldn't mind
waitin' for us, would you?

We'll be back
in less than a week.

Well, I sure hate
to disappoint you fellas,

but, uh, I was just
on my way out of town.

- Oh, which way you ridin'?
- East. Along the border.

Well, that's fine.
That's just the way we're goin'.

We'll ride together,
and as soon as we finish
our business,

we'll take up
where we left off.

Well, I've heard
of better reasons
for joining up with somebody,

but, uh, why not?

Let's go.
Come on! Come on!

You know,
I've been thinkin'.

The only fair way to see
who gets first crack
at this young fella...

is to draw straws.That sounds fair enough.

I go along with that.

You talk like
I was a box lunch
at a church social.

Well, I don't know much
about church socials--

not that I got anything
against church socials--

but they don't exactly
fall under the headin'
of Ranger duty.

Now, hold on
just one minute.

Just what kind of
an outfit are the
Texas Rangers anyway?

What do you
mean?I mean, uh,

y'all dress any way
you want.

Your captain-- he wears
civilian clothes.
Where are your uniforms?

Well, 'cause it says
in the book that we provide...

our own clothing,
mounts and weapons.

And besides that,
uniforms would make us
too good a target.

The only thing we got
alike are the hats.
And they were on sale.

And speaking of hats,
you're wearin'
the same color.

Welcome
to the Rangers.

Great. All the hats
in Medicine Bow,
and I gotta pick this one.

Must have been
a real big sale.
Come on.

[ Chad ]
Well, there it is.

Whoa.

I don't see anything
wrong with it. I wonder
where everybody is.

I don't know.

Nobody.Think maybe
they walked?

Fifty miles?

They didn't walk.

[ Blusters ]

Pretty messy.

How many?

Six men-- engineer,
fireman, brakeman, clerk,

maybe two guards--
all dead.

- Safe blown open, empty.
- Six men, huh?

Worse. One of them had
his family with him.

Well, looks to me like
15, 20 riders...

headin' straight
for the Rio Grande.

Well,
we'd better mount up.
Trail's coolin' off.

Are you going into Mexico?That's where
the train robbers--

[ Baby Whimpering ]What the devil's
that?

Beats me.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

[ Whimpering ] [ Trampas ]
Well, I'll be.

Oh, now, wai--
wait a minute.

Go on. Take it.Not me. I don't know
anything about babies.

Well, somebody take it!

Yeah. Yeah, you take it.
Take it back to Laredo.

Then tell Captain Parmalee
we're headed for the border...

and, you know, about
the train and everything.

That kid probably hasn't
eaten anything since yesterday.

I don't figure he'd last
as far as Laredo.

He's right. He needs
something to eat right now.

Yeah. Yeah.
I got something
for him.

Now be careful with him.I got him.
Don't worry.

There you are.

[ Chuckles ]
Here. We're gonna have
something to eat.

Hey! Hey!
What are you doin'?

You can't feed jerky
to a baby.

Well, why not?
I eat it. It's nothin'
but dried beef.

Well, he's got no teeth.
What's he gonna
chew it with?

Milk. That's what
you give to a baby.

Well, that's fine, Chad.
Have you got a cow
in your pocket?

[ Trampas ]
What about water?

Maybe just plain water
would be some help.

Well, yes,
that's worth a try.

[ Babbling ]

Here.
Hold that for me.

[ Crying ]

That's all right.
There.

You know, be careful.
Here you go.

Oop.Wait, he's--

Come on.
Now, somebody take him.
He's choking.

Well, you're supposed
to spank him on the backside
or something like that.

Well--No, no. You're supposed
to turn him upside down.

All right then.
Here. You take him.

Wait a minute.
I got an idea.

[ Crying ]

Here. Hold this.

What are you
gonna do?You'll see.

You sure
that thing's clean?Oh, yeah.

Hold him
real still now.All righty.

[ Chuckles ]
There you go, baby.

[ Laughs ] By golly,
he takes that just like
Grandpappy took to red-eye.

Give him some more. [ Riley ] Well, the water's
not gonna hold him forever.

He's gonna need some milk.
And I know just where
there is some--

Palmero.We are not goin'
to Palmero.

You knot-heads forget Palmero
is south of the Rio Grande.

Whatever.
We been there before.

The last time,
the Mexican officials
was all set to hang us.

Ah, Captain backed us up. Sure, he did.

And he also told us
to be more careful next time.

And bustin' into Palmero is not
my idea of bein' careful.

Do you get the impression
that he doesn't want
to go to Palmero?

That he might be
afraid to even?

[ Riley ]
Well, I can't
figure out why.

It's not just that.
I got--Will you quit gabbin'?

The kid needs milk.
We're goin' to Palmero.

You're goin' with us?Sure.

Why?Wouldn't be right to leave
you three clumsy oxes...

alone with this
little baby.[ Crying ]

Besides, I'm goin'
that way myself.
Here you go, pard.

Let him play with that.

Well, will somebody
take this kid?

All right.
Then I ride point
on account of the dust.

And you can bet
your bunk in heaven that
I'm gonna make plenty of it.

Come on, baby.
Yes, yeah. Come on now.

Yeah, yeah.
Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.
Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.
Come on, baby.

Whoa, boy.

That's a good boy.

Come on, boy.
Come on.

[ Riley ]
What do you think, Chad?

Well, it wouldn't be too tough
if we didn't have that kid.

Now, "wouldn't be's"
won't cut it.

We got the kid and we gotta
get across, so we might
as well get started.

[ Crying ]Like my old grandpappy
used to say,

"Sooner started,
sooner done."

[ Chuckles ]
Maybe he meant "finished."

Maybe if one of us
was to ride ahead
and lead your horse,

and the other two
ride alongside,

it'd give you a chance
to keep your hands free
to take care of the kid.

Yeah, that sounds like
a pretty good idea.

It is. I'll lead out.
You two fellas ride flank.

How do you know so much
about crossin' rivers?

Oh, we got a few rivers
around Shiloh.

Keep 'em headed upstream!
We don't wanna be carried
down by the current.

This river don't just
fool around.

Watch out.
I'm slippin'. Watch it.[ Baby Crying ]

- Don't stop now. Keep goin'.
- I don't think
he's a very good swimmer.

Hey there.
You all right? Huh?

You didn't get wet
out there, huh?
[ Chuckles ]

That's the last time
I ever follow you
anyplace.

Well, I got you here,
didn't I?

Maybe that was a mistake.

[ Horses Approaching ]

Señores.I'm CapitánEstrada
of the Mexican Rurales.

- May I ask who you are?
- We're Texas Rangers.

Oh, yes. Texas.
And yet here you are
in Mexico.

Mexico?
Well, now, how'd we ever
get so turned around?

[ Chuckles ]

Mira, Capitán.
Some bandits hit a train.

Stole the gold
and k*lled the crew.
We followed them this far south.

And we're gonna leave this niño
here in Palmero.

I see. Well, from this point,
my Rurales and I will
follow the bandits.

[ Baby Gurgling ]This is our territory.

I must ask you
to leave Mexico.

But this baby needs milk.
And there's milk in Palmero.

I'm sure there is milk
in Texas also.

[ Baby Crying ]

You will leave now,
or I shall place you
under arrest.

We might get a little fun
out of this yet.

Not with an armful of baby.

We're goin' back.[ Crying Continues ]

Well, I'll be
seein' you, fellas.

Where you goin'?I got business
in Palmero.

They'll let me through.Got any money on you?

Why?

You better stick with us.
You got a better chance
of gettin' there.

I thought you were
headin' back.

Well, the baby
still needs milk.

We'll just take
a little detour.

Well, I sure hope
we fooled 'em.
I'm gettin' waterlogged.

Well-- Well,
one way to find out.
Let's go, amigos.

[ Horse Blustering ]

[ Blustering ]

[ Goat Bleating ] [ Dog Barking ]

Kind of a quiet town,
wouldn't you say?

Well, don't let it
fool you.

There's people inside these
buildings lookin' us over.

We could be Yaquis.Are they still around?

[ Laughs ] He wants
to know if the Yaquis
are still around.

When they come down out of
the hills on a raid, they don't
even leave the grass alive.

They're so mean,
they even hate
each other.

Oh. Sort of Mexican
Texas Rangers.

[ Baby Crying ]

Well, La Casa de Oro--
food, music, drinks.

All yours.

But not Mama Dolores.
She's already taken.

[ Crying Continues ]

Trampas, you give it to her.
She'll know what to do with it.

Well, I don't know
Mama Dolores.

Well, you will.
Now you take it in there.
I gotta send a wire.

Ah, now the wire can wait.
You take it in.

Come on.

[ Gurgling ]

Oh, no.

[ Crying ]Kid, you got
no manners at all.

I shouldn't have
give ya all that water.

[ Laughs ]
Come on, Reese.

[ Laughs ]

Mama Dolores!

Ah.

Mama! !¡Hola! !Hola!

So, you have come back.

And what is this
you bring me?

Well, it's a--
it's a baby.Whose baby?

We found it.Ha, ha!

Listen to this betrayer
of women, this teller of
lies to innocent young--

Now just one minute.

You're not young
and you're not innocent,
and I'm not tellin' a lie.

Bah!Now, here.
Take it and feed it.

And first,
you'd better change it.[ Crying ]

[ Speaking Spanish ]
My poor little one![ Crying Continues ]

And you are hungry too, huh?That's right, it's hungry.
It needs milk.

You stupid one!
You tell me
he needs milk? Me?

[ Laughs ]
Come.

Move these things.
Move them.Why?

Move them.
!¡Pronto! !Pronto!

Estrallita!
Gaviota!

All of you, come up.
It is not the Yaquis.[ Crying Continues ]

It's 1,000 times worse!

I gotta send the wire.

Oh, don't take the bit
in your teeth.
There's plenty of time.

I tell you,
I got to send the wire.
If Captain--

Surely you want to stay
and say hello to the girls.

!¡Papá mío!You have come back.

Now, listen here.
Your mother put you up
to callin' me that.

I'm not your father,
and you know it.She say you will be.

[ Reese ]
Oh, she does, does she?Gaviota.

Come here.

We go into the kitchen.
Fix the baby and warm
some milk, huh?

And listen--

Heads.You pay.

Do you mind
if I look at that?

Oh, you don't think
I'd cheat you, do you?Sure, I do.

Reese.

Now, we--
we speak a little more
about you foundthat baby.

There's nothing to explain.
It was on this train
all by itself,

and we come along,
and there it was.

And the baby was
traveling alone
at that age, huh?

- What do you take me for?
- Everybody else was k*lled.

Besides, I don't have
to explain to you.

There should be no secrets
between husband and wife.

- Husband and wife?
- Yes!

All right,
drink up, everybody.
To the bride and groom.

[ Dolores ]
Bueno.
I will drink to that.

- Come, Reese, come.
- No, I can't. I gotta send
a wire to Captain Parmalee.

- Aw, drink up.
- You know, maybe you fellas
forgot our orders.

Now, I'm gonna send that wire.
Then we're hittin' the trail.

[ Babbling ]

Did it ever occur to you
Reese is just liable
to send that wire...

- and keep right on goin'?
- I do not think so.

- What makes you so sure?
- Mmm.

- Who stole my horse?
- [ Laughing ]

- Our horses are gone-- all of
them! Now, who stole 'em?
- My daughter. I told her to.

So, you're bringin' up
your own daughter to be
a horse thief, huh?

!¡Silencio!
You will wake the baby.

Gaviota!

- Yes, Mama?
- Is the milk warm?

Yes, Mama. Bueno.

Then I will feed the baby.
Gaviota will fix something
for you to eat.

And we will have
the church wedding the next time
Padre Cariara comes to town.

Ha, ha.

Flip you to see
who's best man.

Friends.[ Laughs ]

Papá mío, muchachos.
Here's your food.

Ah, I think it's time
you were settlin' down
anyway, Reese.

Yeah. Yeah.[ Laughing ]

Let's go get some grub.

All right, old friends.

Maybe I will do just that.

And I'll be settin' here
up to my collar button
in family grub.

Uh-huh.And family wine.

And any other family thing
you're a mind to name.

And you can just go
mountain-goatin' after those
bandits all by yourselves.

And you know what?
I'll be settin' right here,

prayin' for a blizzard.And after all we've
done for him, huh?

Well, come on, cowboy.
Join the weddin' feast. Gracias.

- Pass the chicken.
- Sí, sí.

Oh, this little one--
he was hungry.
[ Chuckles ]

Ah! Niño.

You-- uh, you are
a Ranger too?

No. Then what are you
doing here?

Well, uh, I'm on my way
to the Alvarez ranch.

Don Carlos Alvarez?
Oh, he's a very rich man.

Well, you see, uh,
don Carlos has this prize bull.

I'm supposed to pick him up
and take him back to Wyoming.

- You come all this way
just to pick up a bull?
- That's right.

What's the matter with
the bulls in the States?

I don't know,
but when I get back,
I'll have to look into it.

- You have ranch of your own?
[ Laughs ]
- Well, uh--

And, uh, you have
very much money, yes?

Oh, he's got lots
of money.
Why, he's rich.

[ Laughs ]
Listen.

My daughter Gaviota--
she will soon be 16.

[ Men Shouting ]It's the Yaquis!

[ Shouting, Whooping ]

Come on, all of you.
Quick. Down.Come on.

[ Chattering ]

Mama?Huh?

You watch yourself now.[ Laughs ]
Sure.

[ All Shouting, Whooping ]

!¡Yaqui! !A los caballos!
!¡Pronto! !Vámonos!

[ Trampas ]
Looks like they've had enough.

[ Chad ]
If I know Yaquis,
they'll be back.

You got any idea
why the Yaquis are
raiding Palmero?

Who knows? Maybe they came
to celebrate Reese's weddin'.

For the last time,
I'm not gettin' married!

Now, about
your weddin', Reese--

Everybody gonna get
to kiss the bride?

Look, fellas, the joke's
gone far enough!

You think that shotgun
of Mama Dolores's
is in on the joke?

Now, Mama Dolores--
there's quite a gal.

Comes equipped
with a ready-made family.

That's about enough
outta you.

[ Sighs ]

Well, at least you're
gonna eat good.

Sure gonna be
disappointin' to your girl
back in Laredo though.

If you spill one word
of this to Carmelita,
I'll bust your head.

They're gonna
come in both ways.
Watch that far end.

I don't need any advice
about Yaquis.

If you tell Carmelita
about this--

[ Yaquis Shouting ] [ g*nf*re ]

Here they come again.

Look there--
that blue coat
with brass buttons.

[ g*nsh*t ]

Hey, that sounds
like a Winchester.

Now, where would they
get one of those?

Five bucks says he got it
from one of the train crew.

Train crew?
You're out of your head.
Yaquis don't rob trains.

- Put your money
where your mouth is.
- For how much?

- Five will get you 10.
- I'll buy it.

- I'll take a piece.
How you gonna prove it?
- I'm just gonna ask him.

He's sure goin' to a lot
of trouble for five dollars.

[ g*nf*re Continues ]

Did it ever occur to you two
that they're trying to k*ll us?

Who?The Yaquis.

Well, I guess that is
one way of puttin' it.

[ Shouting, Whooping ] [ g*nf*re Continues ]

Let him take a few.
It'll do him good.

I'm just tryin'
to help your friend out.

You are friends. Are you crazy?

I wouldn't lift
a little finger to help
that worthless, no-good--

Riley, behind ya!

[ Grunts ]

Should have gotten in
on that bet, Trampas.
Yaquis never rob trains.

Why not?

Money's no good to 'em.
They can't spend it.

Then how do they get
their g*ns, pick 'em
off the trees?

- Nah, they steal 'em.
- I got $20 that says
you're wrong this time.

You got a bet.

Oh, no, you don't.
Half of that's mine.

All right, Trampas.
How do you think
they got those g*ns?

Probably bought 'em
from gunrunners...

with the gold they stole
off the train.

You want my half
of that bet?

[ Shouting, Whooping ]

Five bucks, my little pigeons.
Look at them buttons.

Might as well pay him.

I'll take 20.

Twenty? You win 20,
and I get shot at?

Here.You got a better game
goin' than I have.

[ Chad ]
Well, I guess
they've had a bellyful.

I can't figure out
why they fought us
in the first place.

Well, why not?
Palmero's a small town.
The peónesrun scared.

Yaquis figure on a quick raid
and no fightin'.

What'd they figure
when they came up
against four Winchesters?

Well, suppose
he's right.

Yaquis hit that train
and stole the gold.

If I was a gunrunner,
I don't figure I'd wanna
make any deliveries...

with the Rangers
sniffin' around.

You mean
somebody sent 'em
to wipe us out?

- Well, then who was it?
- Reese, that's a real good
question.

Let's go see how
your family's making out.

Yeah.

Come on, let's get
those kids out of there.Right.

That's it.
We don't wait for Padre.

We find a judge
and get married quick.

There's no time
for a weddin' now.
Now, get those horses. Now!

Now, for something
that important,
we can make time.

Time for what?

Come on. All of you.
Into the kitchen.
!¡Pronto! !Pronto!

Hurry, hurry.
Go!

Señores,does, uh--

Does my memory fail me,
or did I not order you
to leave Mexico?

Oh, well, you didn't, uh--
You didn't say positively.

Indeed.

Now, look, Captain.
Now, those Indians
out there...

robbed the train
and stole the gold
in Texas.

Oh, yes. Yaquis have
no respect for the border.

But that does not
excuse you.

I'm ordering you
to leave... now.
Positively.

Uh, Capitán,
I'd like to ask you
something.

Yes?

How is it you and your men
just happened to be
in Palmero?

It is no concern of yours.

You leave, or I'll have you
tied hand to foot...

and dumped across
your precious border.

[ Laughs ]
That's the way we take
pigs to market.

Riley, did he
call us pigs?

I don't know.
Sounded like it.

He called us pigs.Lay off.
This one's mine.

[ Riley ]
Dispénseme, Capitán.
I don't understand.

What is it
you do not understand?

Oh, about pigs, Captain.
Well, the way you
take 'em to market.

Well, see, we do it
quite different.
We don't tie 'em up.

We k*ll 'em
and butcher 'em first.

Now, if you mean that
as a threat,

let me remind you that I am
supported by a sizable
group of Rurales and--

Well, let's hope their capitán
stays alive to lead 'em
out of Palmero.

[ Chuckling ]

But, señores,
you-you misunderstand me.

I mean, your presence here
was a surprise,

- but of no real importance.
- Of course not.

Of course not.
So now I leave, eh?

I leave to continue
my pursuit of the Yaqui bandits.

I hope we--
we meet soon under more
favorable circumstances.

I thought these were kinda
favorable myself.

Adiós, Capitán.

[ Chuckles ]
Hasta la vista.

[ Laughing ]

[ Chuckles ] [ Horses Departing ]

Now we get back
to the business
of the wedding, huh?

Look, Mama, we gotta go
find those Yaquis.

Oh, let's finish
our supper first. Gunfights
always give me an appetite.

Estrallita, Gaviota,
bring some more food.Yeah.

Come on, son.Um, I think
I'll be on my way.

You don't like my Gaviota?

No-- I mean,
I like her just fine.

Except that I told my boss
I wouldn't get married till I
finish the job he sent me on.

Don't take any wooden
pesos, huh?[ Chuckles ]

So long. Adiós.

Oh, I forgot.
You stole my horse.

Oh, no, no. No, he's in the barn
in back of the house next door.

[ Both Laugh ]Mama.

!¡Buen viaje!

Mama?Hmm?

You just saved us
from having to search
the whole town.

[ Laughs ]Ah, I have to see
about the food.

Oh, no, you don't.[ Laughs ]

Sit down there. Sit down.
You're gonna keep us
company till we finish.

Don't you know you can
get hanged for stealing
a Ranger's horse?

[ Scoffs ]Now we're gettin'
somewhere.

How about a little
of that chicken?

Ah! Those chiles.Oh!

[ Laughs, Baby Talk ]

Oh, a real family scene--
Mama Dolores and Papa Reese.

[ Laughing ][ Laughing ]

He is a fine bull--
purebred.

Five generations back.

Yes, sir.
He sure looks it.I wish you good luck.

Thank you.

Hey, by the way,
his name is Hidalgo Fortunata
de Cruces y Tampico.

Hidalgo Fortunata--

[ Clears Throat ]
Well, I'll just call him
Sam for short.

Hasta luego. Adios.

Well, at least we know
that kid's in good hands.

Yeah, with Mama Dolores
and those five girls
fussin' over him.

[ Chuckles ]
He'll never have it
that good again.

Too bad that
Trampas fella
pulled out.

He was beginnin'
to shape up all right.

Yeah, that's what your girl
in Laredo thought too.

Whoa, boy. Whoa.Whoa.

Now, boys, we better watch it.
That Yaqui trail is gettin'
pretty fresh.

The ground's hard.

I'd say they're still
four or five hours
ahead of us.

Yeah? Well, five says
we find 'em before dark.

You got yourself a bet.[ All Chuckle ]

Pay me.

[ Laughs ]
What are they doin'?Just settin' around.

They're probably waitin'
for their gunrunners.

Why don't we go
find them first?

Most likely place
they're gonna be
is right here.

Twenty dollars says
I can find those
gunrunners before midnight.

You know, Riley,
with you around,
every day is payday.

You're on.

- In cash, if you don't mind.
- You know, Riley,

I'm wonderin' how you know
so much about how
gunrunners operate.

Well, Reese, maybe it's
just 'cause I've been around
a little more than you have.

Oh.Besides, I spotted the smoke
from their fire a long time ago.

Yeah, well, just don't ever
bet Reese on the best way
to rustle cows.

Thank you, sir.
I like a man who pays
his debts promptly.

Let's go.

All right, come on.
Let's get started.All right.

Ew! Worst coffee
I ever tasted.

Come on. Let's get
these slugs out of here.

[ Grunting ]
I'll get these.

We gonna plug
all the r*fles?

All we got time for.
We'll put those on top and
break the action on the rest.

Here's one to get
started with.

[ Riley ]
Them Yaquis oughta be
asleep by now.

We can sneak into
their camp and see
if the gold is there.

Yeah, well, how would we know
where to look for it,
especially in the dark?

I say we wait until
the gunrunners deliver
those busted g*ns.

When they bring out the gold
to pay for 'em, we can
take it away from 'em.

Just the three of us?
In broad daylight?

Well, there can't be
more than 20 or 30
of 'em.

Hold it.What's the matter?

Yaquis.

Are you crazy?
We're not within
a mile of their camp.

They never put a guard
out this far.

- You sure?
- Well, sure, I'm sure.

You tellin' me I don't know
how Yaquis behave?
[ Laughs ]

[ Horses Whinnying ]

[ Horses Whinnying ]

Buenos días.

It is not a good day
for you, señor.

It's perhaps the worst
day of your life.

Well, I'm afraid you got
the wrong idea about me.

I wasn't with those Rangers.
I was here on business.

Uh, our paths just happened
to cross for a while.

- Where are they?
- Oh, I don't know.
I left them in Palmero.

I do not believe you.

Take a look around.
Just Sam and me.

Sam?

Him.

Bought him from Señor Alvarez.
I'm taking him back
to the States.

Uh-huh. Jose--
[ Speaking Spanish ]

[ Man Speaking Spanish ]

[ Estrada ]
I'll ask you once more.

Where are your friends?

And I'll tell you once more.
I don't know.

Now if you'll tell your men
to get out of my way,
I'll be moseyin' along.

Your g*n, please.

Your g*n.

Jose.

!¡Rápido!

Now you will mosey along,
as you call it, with us.

This way.
!¡Vámonos!

I'm comin'.

[ Speaks Spanish ]

[ Spanish ]

!¡Venga!

Aquí.

Well, look who's here.

Well, I don't know
what you fellas did this time,
but it must have been a beaut.

Well, let me introduce you...

to the world's greatest
authority on the habits
of the Yaqui Indians.

I was considering
getting you out of this.
You just changed my mind.

[ Grunts ]

Is this
what you came after?

[ Reese ]
Sure is. [ Bags Thud ]

- I told you we'd find it.
- Congratulations.

All you have to do now is
figure a way to get it
back to Texas.

- Got a real practical
mind, hasn't he?
- Yeah.

Funny you should mention that.
We were just thinkin'
about the same thing.

Hey, how come
they nabbed you?

I guess they didn't like
the company I used to keep.

Oh.There was a fella there with
a bandage around his head.

He, uh, said something
about gringos.

Yeah. I knew I should've
hit him harder.

I wonder how they figure
on doin' it.

What do you think, Reese?
Ants and honey?

No, no, not a chance.
They got no ants up here.

They'll let the squaws
do it with rocks.

Ants and honey.
Rocks is too fast.

The world's
greatest authority.Twenty says I'm right.

You're on.
I say squaws and rocks.

- [ Chad ] I'll lay 50
you're both wrong.
- [ Chickens Clucking ]

Knives. And the way they do it,
they can make it last
for a week.

Why not make it
winner take all?
I guess the fire pit.

Fire pit?
Yaquis never use fire.

Now, look, plowboy, just 'cause
you made a good guess about
them hittin' that train--

He's right again.

[ Spanish ]

Hey, they're unloadin'
the r*fles.

Too bad we won't be around
to see the payoff.

Maybe we will be.

!¡Capitán! !Capitán Estrada!

[ Spanish ]

What is the meaning
of this?Well--

Oh, I see. You have come
to-to beg for your life, huh?

No, I came to demand
our rights.

I'm afraid you do not
have any rights.

You see, even if I wanted
to save you--
which I do not--

I couldn't.

You and your friends have
intruded in my business
dealings with the Yaquis.

Oh, I'm not asking you
to save us.

But as one military man
to another, I do think
you owe us...

a better way to die
than these Yaquis
have in mind.

What do you suggest?Let us die like soldiers--
be shot by a firing squad.

Firing squad? Sí.

Hmm. I have never commanded
a firing squad.

You may never get
another chance.

Yes. yes. The idea has merit.
All right. It shall be done.

Bring the prisoners.

This will be good practice
for my men.

Ah, we appreciate it,
Capitán.

Oh, happy to oblige.
[ Laughs ]

What's this
all about, huh?Never saw a man worry so much.

At least I wanna know
what I'm worryin' about.

So we meet again.We sure do,
you dirty--

Reese! The capitán's
gonna do us a big favor.

Yeah? Well, you can
tell him that--

He's gonna have us shot
by a firing squad.

Well, thanks a lot.

Oh, it's nothing.
It's the least I can do
for old friends.

- Blindfold the prisoners.
- No, we don't need that.

Good. I like to see
a man die with his eyes open.

Yes, sir. We want to look
right down the muzzles
of those r*fles.

- Don't we, fellas?
- We sure do.

Right down the muzzles.

What's so good about that?
Y'all make it sound like
we're goin' to a picnic.

- Shut up.
- [ Estrada ]
All right, men.

Fall in.
Ten paces away.

Capitán,you're not
getting the r*fles.

Oh, the r*fles
are for the Yaquis.

No, we'll, uh--
We'll use our p*stol.

No, sir. That's ill*gal.
A firing squad
has to use r*fles.

Oh, he's right.
It says in the book.

Besides, r*fles hit harder.
They made you bounce.

Very well. Very well.

Get some r*fles.

Señores,
whenever you're ready.

We, uh-- We gonna
make a break for it?

Don't move.Well, I don't get it.

We just gonna stand here
and let him blow
our heads off?

Long as he uses
those r*fles,
it'll be a pleasure.

[ Estrada Speaking Spanish ]

Firing squad, attention!

Ready!

[ r*fles c*ck ]

Aim!

Fire!

[ Men Screaming ]

[ Man Shouting In Spanish ]

Now what?You sell us g*ns
that will not sh**t.

Now-Now, listen--You tried to cheat us.

- It's-It's a trick!
- [ Shouting ]

[ g*nf*re ][ Grunting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

[ g*nf*re ]

[ Screams ]

Hey!Gentlemen, uh,
shall we be off?

Yo.

[ Shouting Continues ]

"Found lost train.
Followed Yaquis.

'‘Rekovered'"--

You spell that with a "C,"
not a "K."

"Recovered gold with the help
of Rurales Captain Estrada."

You been busting
into Mexico again?

Well, sir, it's only--
[ Clears Throat ]
Only by invitation.

I've been informed
by the Mexican government...

that Captain Estrada
is suspected of selling g*ns
to the Yaquis.

Now, why would
he help you three?

It, uh-- [ Clears Throat ]
It wasn't entirely voluntary.
It's in the report there.

"Captain Estrada
and 10 Rurales...

"k*lled by Yaquis.

Died good."

What kind of report
is that, Reese?

"Died good"?

[ Laughing ]

Well, they--
they hollered good.

How did you get in this?

Oh, well, sir, uh,
you see, there's this, uh--

well, this ranch in Wyoming
called Shiloh,

and, uh, they sent me
down here...

to get this bull they bought,
and then--

Forget it. Ah, where are
those applications?

I just want your name
and your age.

I don't wanna know where you're
from or why you wanna.

I got a bull I gotta
get back to Shiloh.
He's waitin' outside.

Well, if you ever
change your mind--

As for you three,
what happened to the baby?

Well--[ Clears Throat ]

- What baby, sir?
- The baby that was on the train
when it left Benavides.

- Oh, that baby!
- Yeah, that baby.

Uh, well, sir, we took
that baby and left it
in Palmero with Mama Dolores.

Yeah, yeah. That's right, sir.
That's right.

And why was there no mention
of a baby in your report?

Reese--I didn't see
any reason why--

Well, we, uh--
we know how you like
short reports, sir.

- Yeah, that's right, sir.
- All right.
Now you can write another.

And you can assure a worried
and grieving aunt...

that the baby will be
returned immediately.

The baby is all right?

Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Everything was in good
working order the last time
I held it.

- [ Both Scoff ]
- [ Scoffs ]

- The last time we saw it.
- Then go get it.

Right now!

Yes, sir.Yes, sir.

Oh, you--

You didn't make
any bets with them?Uh, yes, sir.

You've been robbed.

Well, not exactly.

Hey.

Nice goin'.Captain.

Well, so long, son.

[ Chad ]
Sure you don't want
to come along with us?

Well, you're gonna miss
the weddin'.[ Laughing ]

Now, listen here, Riley.
That's just about all
I wanna hear of that.

Sam, all I can say is--

[ Chuckles ]
you'd better be worth it.

[ Door Closes ]

Whoa.
Well, Sam, we made it.

Hi.Howdy.

Did you have
a good trip?Not bad. Not bad.

Hey, he looks like
he's in pretty good shape.[ Chuckles ]

Everything go all right?

Well, I didn't try to fill
