Arizona Raiders (1965) Movie Script
'The civil war was over
but one infamous band of guerrillas
fought on - Quantrell's Raiders.'
'They'd written one of the bloodiest
pages in history by their savage
raid of hate on Laurence, Kansas.'
'Wherever they rode
they left a trail of destruction -
pillaging, killing wantonly.'
'Their leader - a man wanted dead
or alive by both north and south -
Quantrell.'
'The men who followed him
were a strange mix -
outlaws, gunfighters,
Confederate soldiers displaced in
the bitter aftermath of the war.'
No sign of cavalry ahead, Colonel.
I suggest we post a rear guard.
Brady, detail two men.
Brady, detail two men.
Yes, sir.
Did you find a place
to rest the horses after the raid?
Did you find a place
to rest the horses after the raid?
Willie scouted that.
Did you find a place
to rest the horses after the raid?
Willie scouted that.
A deserted farm west of town.
We'll take half the men
and attack the town from the north.
We'll take half the men
and attack the town from the north.
I'll lead them, sir.
We'll take half the men
and attack the town from the north.
I'll lead them, sir.
No, you'll stay with me.
Clint'll handle that detail.
All right, you men, follow me.
'Their mission - obtain guns,
provisions and money. Their orders -
shoot without warning.'
'Their objective -
a quiet, unsuspecting little town.'
I want every gun in town
piled right here.
That's Quantrell! That's Quantrell!
Let them keep the change.
Look out!
Look out!
All right, men,
let's get outta here.
You've got exactly a half-hour
to feed and water the horses.
Post lookouts
at both ends of the barn.
Post lookouts
at both ends of the barn.
Yes, sir.
'Hard on the raiders' heels
was the man ordered by the army
to end their reign of terror -
Captain Tom Andrews.'
'For 30 days he'd followed
Quantrell's bloody trail
but always too late
to stop the slaughter.'
'Again the trail led to the north.'
Forward!
Hey, hey!
Hey!
I gotta talk to you, please!
It's the old Carson place,
nobody lives there.
Take it easy, son.
I was hunting rabbits...
Just take it easy. What d'you see?
Just take it easy. What d'you see?
They went in the barn. A whole lot
of 'em, and they all had guns.
Where is this Carson place?
Where is this Carson place?
Away back off the road.
Good boy.
That oughta hold you, Colonel.
That oughta hold you, Colonel.
Yeah, that'll do, Clint.
Call the boys together.
All right, men, line up.
Montana, step out.
I said step out.
What is this - court martial?
You could call it that.
Not a sound outta you.
We're movin' on
but you're not goin' with us.
What am I supposed to be guilty of?
You saw that sniper.
You're responsible for this.
Colonel, if you're wrong, you'll
lose one of the best men you've got.
I'm not wrong, Brady.
In a regular trial,
at least you oughta have a witness.
He's got one.
He's got one.
You're a liar!
No, I'm not, Montana.
You've been wanting to take over
this command for a long time.
Now, I'll take your gun.
Quantrell!
You're surrounded.
There'll be time enough
for this later. Get your rifles.
You don't stand a chance in hell.
Throw out those guns.
Bluecoats.
Bluecoats.
Let's see those guns.
I'm not bluffing.
Fire a volley.
Clint, you and Willie
get those rifles we took today -
draw 'em out, we need time.
You two, up in the hayloft
and cover it.
Quantrell, let's see those guns.
I'll take half you men
out the front.
Brady, take the rest out the back.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Let's all get mounted.
Quantrell, I'll give you
till the count of five.
One,
two,
three, four...
Come on, let's get outta here.
Come on, let's get outta here.
I'm not leaving
till the old man's out,
but I'll open the doors for you.
Good luck, Brady.
All right, now come on out,
one at a time, with your hands up.
Let's have it.
You coulda gotten away, Willie.
You coulda gotten away, Willie.
We both coulda,
hadn't've been for that Montana.
I shoulda killed him
when I had the chance.
Agh!
'While Quantrell lay gravely wounded
in a military hospital,
the captured raiders
stood trial in this courtroom.'
Everybody rise.
Be seated.
Clint Stewart, William Martin,
you have both been found guilty.
At this time,
sentence will be passed upon you.
Your honour,
Your honour,
Yes, Captain Andrews?
I'd like to speak
on behalf of these two men.
You were chief prosecution witness.
Yes, sir, but these two
are different than the others.
How? They both rode with Quantrell.
They didn't join the raiders
until after the war. They had
no part in the Laurence massacre.
Why wasn't this testimony given
at the trial?
Why wasn't this testimony given
at the trial?
I didn't find out about it
until this morning, sir.
What difference does it make?
This is a northern court,
we'll get northern justice.
This is a northern court,
we'll get northern justice.
You knew Quantrell's reputation.
We'd no choice - they wouldn't
give a Confederate a job.
Carpetbaggers took over the south.
There wasn't much
for them to come home to.
I went home to a rock chimney
and a pile of ashes.
The men in the Laurence raid
were given life sentences
but because Captain Andrews
has come to your defence
and because of the war and the
confusion it left in men's minds,
20 years of hard labour.
This court is adjourned.
I'm sorry, I did my best.
Thanks for nothing.
Thanks for nothing.
How do you know so much about us?
Got a letter from his brother.
Got a letter from his brother.
Where is he?
Got a letter from his brother.
Where is he?
Hospital in Atlanta -
wounded in action.
He's going to be all right.
This is for you.
He read about the trial and decided
to write me about you two
and your fine war records.
and your fine war records.
Nobody cares much
if you're on the losing side.
I respect a good soldier no matter
what the colour of his uniform.
I respect a good soldier no matter
what the colour of his uniform.
All right, move along.
I'll write your brother
where he can get in touch with you.
The kid'd be better off if he forgot
he ever had me for a brother.
Thanks anyway.
Match this.
I'll call you and raise.
All right, I call.
Sorry, mister,
I got a pretty good hand.
Full house.
Wait a minute, I got a better one.
I been lookin' all over west Texas
for you.
Glad you found me tonight, Brady.
All right, everybody out. Out!
Ha, Brady, good to see ya!
Where've you been?
Where've you been?
Doin' a little penny-ante work
till my arm healed.
How is it now?
How is it now?
Faster'n I ever been.
Good. We'll find a better way
to use your talent than this.
Good. We'll find a better way
to use your talent than this.
With you, any time, Brady. Here.
I ain't forgot how
you stood up for me with Quantrell.
Quantrell dropped those charges.
He's dead.
Died in a military hospital
about a week ago.
I hate to see any man go that way -
even Quantrell!
I wonder how many of the boys got
away when we broke outta that barn.
I wonder how many of the boys got
away when we broke outta that barn.
I think the better part
of the best of them got out.
I see what you're getting at.
Way I look at it,
you're the natural heir to the gang.
The boys'd be eager
to follow that gun of yours.
Brady,
you got a head on your shoulders.
I'll put together a better gang
than Quantrell ever had.
Let's drink to it.
As soon as we get the boys together
we'll shake this Texas dust off
our heels and light out for Arizona.
What's in Arizona we'd want?
Gold. Lots of it.
Every gold train on its way
out of the mint in Washington
passes through Arizona.
And no Texas Rangers around
to stop us?
No.
'Again they rode,
the men of Quantrell.'
'They rode for greed, defying
what law there was, ravaging
a territory helpless to stop them -
helpless until the night
of June 17th 1866,
when Captain Tom Andrews, late of
the US army, rode into Tombstone
for a secret rendezvous.'
I'm here to see the governor.
I'm here to see the governor.
Tom, come on in.
Good to see you, Tom. I wasn't
expecting you for a day or so.
Sorry to interrupt your supper, sir.
Sorry to interrupt your supper, sir.
Just finished. Sit down.
Your letter said urgent.
I left the day I was discharged
from the army.
We need a man out here
who gets things done.
You're going to need more than that.
You've read the papers?
Is it as bad as it sounds?
Is it as bad as it sounds?
Worse. Four banks held up,
six gold trains captured
in the last six months.
No-one knows yet who the outlaws are.
No-one knows yet who the outlaws are.
I can make a pretty good guess.
No-one knows yet who the outlaws are.
I can make a pretty good guess.
That's what I was hoping.
They operate the same
military pattern as Quantrell.
But you wiped out Quantrell.
But you wiped out Quantrell.
Yes, but some of his men got away.
We don't have enough lawmen to
fight them. Last week, the raiders
challenged a posse to an open fight.
I can imagine what happened.
I can imagine what happened.
Posse was wiped out - to a man.
We must organise
like they did in Texas.
You mean the rangers?
We've got to organise
our own territorial police force.
I want you to head it up.
It'll take time to get
a good bunch of lawmen together.
It'll take time to get
a good bunch of lawmen together.
We don't have time.
If those raiders aren't stopped soon,
they'll take over the territory.
If those raiders aren't stopped soon,
they'll take over the territory.
I don't know.
Trying to fight the outlaws
and organise a troop of rangers,
I doubt I could pull it off.
I doubt I could pull it off.
I've never heard you
say that about anything.
Tell you what, there's just one way,
one, that we might be able
to stop that gang,
but you won't like what I want to
do.
You let me decide that.
You better order some more coffee,
because if it backfires, it could
cost you the governorship. Waiter!
'The governor agreed
to the request.'
'Two weeks later a cargo
of convicts under heavy guard
were transferred from Texas
to the territory of Arizona.
Purpose unknown.'
Pull up over there.
You all right, Willie?
You all right, Willie?
I've felt better.
Why do you suppose they're
transferring us to Umo prison?
Who cares? It couldn't be worse
than the one we were in.
Who cares? It couldn't be worse
than the one we were in.
I don't know, I hear that Umo's
the hellhole of creation.
All right, get out and stretch.
The first one that makes a wrong
move, we'll bury him out here.
Going anywhere, Willie?
Going anywhere, Willie?
I hadn't made plans. Good to get
out of that torture chamber, though.
Martin, Stewart, move out.
What the hell is this?
We need firewood, you're elected.
You've been chousing us around ever
since you took over this expedition.
You've been chousing us around ever
since you took over this expedition.
When I say move out, move!
I think the man means it.
He was better-natured when
he was wearing that blue uniform.
He was better-natured when
he was wearing that blue uniform.
Let's go, over there.
I'll tell you when to pick it up.
We need big stuff. On down there.
Hold it.
Sit down, boys.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Take it easy?
Now, that's a switch.
You been out in the sun too long,
Captain?
Prison life isn't the best way
to spend your days, is it?
Prison life isn't the best way
to spend your days, is it?
Well, I have had it easier.
Why don't you stop stalling?
Something on your mind
besides our health?
This is the badge
of the Arizona Rangers.
I'm going to make it something
a man will be proud to wear.
I'm going to make it something
a man will be proud to wear.
Well, bully for you.
Why are you telling us?
I want you and Willie to join me.
I want you and Willie to join me.
J...
Just let me get this straight -
first you put us in,
now you want to let us out.
There's got to be an awful big catch
to this.
There is - you got to help us round
up the outlaws working Arizona.
Then you get
an unconditional pardon.
Wait a minute -
what made you pick us?
You're the only ones
that can handle this job.
I see. D'you understand, Willie?
Two men who rode with Quantrell.
Exactly,
so are the ones we're after.
I hear Montana Smith
heads that outfit.
That's my guess.
You take these bracelets off of us,
what makes you sure we won't head
for Mexico and never come back?
I'm not sure of anything.
I'm willing to risk it.
It's your gamble but I'd say
the odds are against you.
That's the kinda odds I like.
Now,
you'll get horses from the guards,
and you better
take me with you a ways.
Are the guards in on this?
You're on your own.
With an empty gun.
Come on.
All right, boys, you can drop
those rifles. Get up here, hurry.
You better do as he says.
SHOUTING
How about it, Willie? We fought
together, let's escape together.
Give us a break, we're your pals.
Come on, Willie, throw me a gun.
I'm taking you with me.
SHOUTING
SHOUTING
Hey, what about us?
Take us with you.
Get your hands off.
Hey, Clint, take us with you.
Sorry, friend,
you'd just slow us down.
Get on that horse.
SHOUTING
Where do I find Montana?
Where do I find Montana?
That's part of your job.
Now, you'll need supplies
and different clothes.
I'll be glad to shed these.
There's a water hole up that draw.
One of my men'll meet you there.
He'll be a lot of help.
Wait with him. I'll get back to you
with further instructions.
Are you Captain Andrews' man?
Are you Captain Andrews' man?
Right. Ranger Danny Bonner.
Make yourself at home,
I'll be right there.
You really going to go
for this ranger stuff?
Well, I want out of prison,
I want Montana.
Then what?
We'll see.
Danny!
Didn't expect to see
your kid brother out here, did you?
You've grown a foot
since I saw you last.
You've grown a foot
since I saw you last.
You two look like you could use
a cup of coffee. Come on.
What's all this Bonner business?
What's wrong with your real name?
What's all this Bonner business?
What's wrong with your real name?
I explained in my letter.
They don't deliver letters
at that prison.
They don't deliver letters
at that prison.
You were ashamed of being my brother,
weren't you? Can't say's I blame you.
Clint, I was never ashamed of you.
Only reason I changed my name
was cos I was afraid they wouldn't
let me join the rangers if they...
If they knew about me.
If they knew about me.
I've always been proud of you,
Clint.
I've carried this with me ever since
you sent it home from Shiloh.
Symbol of a lost cause.
Now you're with the rangers,
I'll tell everybody we're brothers.
No, Danny, don't do that.
Why not? The Captain knows about it.
Let it ride as it is for now.
Anything you say, Clint.
Let me get you some more coffee.
You heard about Mother and Dad?
It's the reason I never went home
after I got out of the hospital.
D'you ever find out who killed them?
Carpetbaggers. Burned the house down
with the folks trapped inside.
If I'd gone home a week earlier,
maybe I could've...
If I'd gone home a week earlier,
maybe I could've...
I was with him, Danny.
When we heard Quantrell
was killing carpetbaggers,
we didn't care what else he did.
I see now why you joined the
raiders. I wish I'd been with you.
I'm glad you weren't, Danny.
I have a lot of respect for Captain
Andrews, teaming you two together.
Well, I think
I'll use your bathtub here, Danny.
See the way they're dressed?
It's a Yaqui tribe all right.
I wonder how friendly they are.
Hombres! Muchos hombres!
They must be part civilised.
At least they got a church.
Oh, yeah.
It'll be a good place to hole up
till the gold shipment comes through.
Who's in charge around here?
My father, Chief Ortega.
Chief, I want to make a deal
with you.
He does not speak your language.
He does not speak your language.
That's gotta be a big help.
He does not speak your language.
That's gotta be a big help.
I will translate for you.
All right.
You tell your daddy that
we're going to stay here for a while.
My father say there is no food
nor room for so many.
There is barely enough food
for these people to feed themselves.
I'll say a prayer for 'em. We've
got everything we need right here.
My father say you can't stay here.
Tell your pappy we're going to stay
here whether he likes it or not.
Go on, tell him!
Let's get rid of the old man.
Let's get rid of the old man.
If we have a gun at the chief's head
his people won't give us trouble.
Maybe you're right.
Let's get them into the church.
Come on, let's go.
Move!
Everybody but you, honey.
We're going to keep you around
a while,
to maybe do the cookin'. Huh, Brady?
It might be a long wait.
All right, keep an eye on 'em.
All right, men, search all the huts.
Make sure you got all of 'em.
That's some shootin', huh, Danny?
That's some shootin', huh, Danny?
Not too bad.
A trifle slow maybe.
I'll admit I'm a little rusty,
but if you're going to be so
critical, let's see what you can do.
You better get ready.
You better get ready.
I'm ready. Let's have it.
That's not bad... for a kid.
Let's have it.
Let's have it.
I've never seen anything like that
before. Let's see it again, Willie.
Lucky fluke. The kid's gettin'
too big for his britches.
Where did you learn
to shoot like that?
Where did you learn
to shoot like that?
I copied Clint's style -
that is, the style he had
before he slowed down.
that is, the style he had
before he slowed down.
Hey, watch it, ranger.
Hi, Captain.
Hi, Captain.
Hi, Danny.
Hi, Captain.
Hi, Danny.
About time you got here.
You're no more anxious to get moving
than I am.
I spread word about your escape.
Montana won't be surprised
when you show up.
Montana won't be surprised
when you show up.
Tell me where I can find him.
They were last seen near the town of
Panal. It's a good place to start.
I'll get the horses.
I'll get the horses.
I'll give you a hand.
As soon as you locate that gang
join up with them, but be careful.
When you find out when and where
they'll strike,
get word to me in Panal.
You're placing a lot of trust in me.
I figure you had a good taste
of the other side of the law.
I figure you had a good taste
of the other side of the law.
That's right.
What if we decided to tip off that
gang and hightail it for the border?
In that case, I'd order the best man
in my outfit to hunt you down
and shoot... to kill.
Danny?
That could pose a problem.
I have to swear you into
the rangers. Raise your right hand.
Do you swear to render loyal service
to the territory of Arizona?
Do you swear to render loyal service
to the territory of Arizona?
I do.
I do.
Good luck.
So long, Clint.
Goodbye, Danny.

Do not stay here, senor.
You don't exactly
make a customer feel welcome.
You don't exactly
make a customer feel welcome.
You're one of the men who escaped.
I see your poster this morning.
You keep your eyes open, don't you?
You keep your eyes open, don't you?
Sometimes it pays.
I've been looking for some friends
of mine -
they've been working round here.
They might be in an Indian village,
south, near the border.
I think we may be onto something.
Down there. They should be
round the bend any minute.
Loaded with gold.
That's the big one
we've been waitin' on.
At the rate they're movin',
they should be
where we want 'em by mornin'.
Should we go back
and report to Montana?
He'll go along
with what we aim to do.
This place looks deserted. You think
that girl was pulling your leg?
I don't know.
We can sure find out.
Meet me at the church.
POUNDING
Lookee here, honey.
Look what I just found.
Hello, Eddie.
Hello, Eddie.
Willie!
Hello, Eddie.
Willie!
Keep it nice and quiet, huh?
Good old Montana.
Good old Montana.
What the devil's goin' on?
Clint just wants to spend about 20
seconds with your boss, that's all.
Clint just wants to spend about 20
seconds with your boss, that's all.
I knew he'd be back 'fore long.
Whew! What is this?
Sure ain't whiskey.
Forbidden drink.
Not for me it ain't.
Ah!
What do they call this stuff?
Peyote, devil curse.
Yeah, I heard about it,
that's good stuff.
No, make men crazy.
Want kill.
I hear tell how it...
makes women a little wild too.
Let's try a little bit
and see what it does for you.
Come on, a little bit.
Come on, a little bit.
No.
Come on, a little bit.
No.
A little bit.
Come on, a little bit.
No.
A little bit.
No!
It sure do bring out
the devil in you, don't it?
Why don't we try a little more?
How about me?
I been expectin' you, Clint.
Well, I'm here.
Why don't you forget what happened?
You can ride with us again.
Sure, till my back was turned.
GUNFIRE
The cross! The cross!
Thanks for the warning.
Senor, will you help me?
How?
How?
My mother and father
are being held in the church.
Where are the rest of your people?
Where are the rest of your people?
Hiding in the hills, or dead.
Two weeks ago, he and his men
come into our village to kill...
and to...
You see how he treat me.
Yes.
Senor, please, we must hurry.
HORSES APPROACHING
Put those guns away.
You first, Brady.
What chance have you got
against all of us?
What chance have you got
against all of us?
This much.
What have we got to fight about?
Lost one and gained two.
When I heard you broke loose, I knew
you had a stinger out for Montana.
You got a grudge
against any of the rest of us?
No, that's it.
Good. I don't imagine
they served whiskey where you been.
How about a drink?
Why not?
I'd appreciate it
if you got back to your cookin'.
The boys'll be wantin' somethin'
to eat before long. Go on, git.
Come on, let's have a drink.
Stolen from one of the best hotels
in Arizona.
They sure didn't give
this kinda stuff to us prisoners.
Wasn't Captain Andrews
guarding those prison wagons
when you made your break?
That's right.
He's head of the Arizona Rangers now.
Why'd you let him go -
why didn't you kill him?
Then they woulda had
all their dogs out after us.
Yeah,
I guess you're right.
Who cares about ex-prisoners? But if
we killed the head of the rangers...
Somebody oughta get him.
Somebody oughta get him.
They will.
What d'you think of our cook?
What d'you think of our cook?
I think you better watch her
or she'll poison you.
Why don't you let her go?
She'll treat us all right, as long
as we've got a gun on the chief.
We don't have to chance her cookin'
much longer.
We don't have to chance her cookin'
much longer.
There's lots of gold
comin' through here.
That's what we've been waitin' for.
Then we're headin'
for the promised land - Mexico.
Maybe we'll see you there.
How come?
How come?
Won't chance goin' back where you
can't get this. We're headin' out.
Why don't you stay?
We could use you, Clint.
Why don't you stay?
We could use you, Clint.
No thanks. Some other day.
Mexico's just beyond
that mountain range, isn't it?
Mexico's just beyond
that mountain range, isn't it?
Yeah, I scouted 'em real good.
The best pass
is right through there.
Thanks for the whiskey.
Thanks.
You had to open your fat mouth.
Did it occur to you they might try
to beat us to that gold train?
I thought they were going to be
ridin' with us.
You and Matt follow 'em. Make sure
they really are headin' for Mexico.
Clint, you really plannin'
on goin' to Mexico?
I sure am.
What about the captain,
and your brother?
What about the captain,
and your brother?
What about 'em?
You used them. You never intended
to keep your promise.
It's the promise I made to myself
that counts with me.
I kept that one.
Coming?
Hi, Clint. How'd you make out?
We made out.
Why don't you just tell him?
Tell me what?
Captain sent you
to keep an eye on us, huh?
He doesn't have the faith in you
I have.
Well, I guess you know
this trail leads to Mexico.
I figured you might be circling back
through town, in case somebody...
It's no good, Danny,
I wasn't cut out to be a lawman.
Why don't you go tell the Captain
I resigned?
Why don't you go tell the Captain
I resigned?
You can't do that, Clint.
Sorry, Danny. It has to be this way.
Stay right where you are,
don't turn around.
You're under arrest, Clint.
I took an oath, just like you did.
Maybe it didn't mean anything to you
but it does to me.
You with him or me?
Reckon I'll have to string along
with the kid here, Clint.
How did a kid like that
ever get a gun on those two?
How did a kid like that
ever get a gun on those two?
I don't know.
Bring my horse, Willie.
We got a long ride
back to the captain.
I gotta talk to you,
I gotta convince you.
You just lie back there
and take it easy.
Clint, I don't have much time and
I gotta talk some sense into you.
You've...
already talked some sense into me.
You mean it?
You're seeing things the right way?
Yes, Danny,
I'm seeing things the right way.
I knew you wouldn't run out on me.
I knew it all along.
Clint,
it's getting kinda dark.
It's a little cloudy, Danny.
Clint, I can't see it!
It's Matt and Duke.
Well, looks like
I got you two outta trouble.
I'll be damned - a ranger.
And you're lookin' at two more.
I won't draw against you, Clint.
I won't draw against you.
See? I'm taking my gun belt off.
BATTLE CRIES
Let them have him, Willie.
BATTLE CRIES
Well, which is it? Are we
going to Mexico or heading on back?
You know the answer to that.
We're going to have to work fast,
Brady'll miss those two.
What is it, Matt?
Martina, come over here.
See if you can do something for him.
They practise torture.
And you have driven them
back to this.
If you do not go,
it will be for all of you.
HORSES APPROACHING
That's Matt!
Too late to back out now.
Changed your mind?
Yeah, one taste of those Indians
and we suddenly got gold fever.
How is he?
The Yaqui are good
at this sort of torture. He's dead.
You know anything about this?
You know anything about this?
The Indians
were chasing him and Duke.
They killed Duke and carried him off
before we could help.
And you fellas came through
without a scratch!
Thanks to his shooting. He got
four Yaqui before they got away.
How about it, can you still use us?
We need every man we can get.
You'll find grain for your horses
around back.
It sure doesn't make sense,
Duke and Matt
runnin' from those Indians.
The Yaquis don't have any guns.
Our boys were carrying rifles. Why
didn't they stop and fight 'em off?
I don't know.
OWL HOOTING
Everybody's oilin' their guns.
Looks like they're gettin' ready
to pull out in the mornin'.
D'you think Brady fell for that
story we told him about the fight?
D'you think Brady fell for that
story we told him about the fight?
Not too much.
That means
they'll be out lookin' for Duke.
That means
they'll be out lookin' for Duke.
They won't bother.
They're bound to be gettin' ready to
hit that gold train in the morning.
We better get word
to Captain Andrews.
We better get word
to Captain Andrews.
That'll be you.
I'll stay and cover for you.
What're you going to tell them
when they miss me?
If you get back here before daylight,
they won't miss you.
Suppose I don't?
I'll think of something.
I'll tell them you decided to take
that trip to Mexico after all.
Think they'll believe you?
It's a 50-50 chance.
Senor, I must talk with you.
Why don't you run away from here?
I cannot leave my mother and father.
I cannot leave my mother and father.
You can't do anything to help them.
I cannot leave my mother and father.
You can't do anything to help them.
I can pray.
I suppose that won't hurt.
How did you learn to speak English?
The padre, before they kill him,
he teach me to speak English and...
They killed the padre?
They killed the padre?
Yes, just as he was teaching
my people a new way of life.
Like torturing that man we let
the Yaquis capture this morning?
No, that was the old way.
The way of the savage Yaqui.
They were driven out of Mexico
to wander through the desert.
My husband and my children were
killed on that flight from Mexico.
I'm sorry.
I want the new way of life
for my people.
The way the padre was teaching.
To build, to plant things,
to live in peace.
Why are you telling me this?
I trust you.
You have no reason to.
Are not rangers supposed
to be good men?
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
What do you know about the rangers?
I just come from my people
out there.
They give me this.
Danny's.
My people say you kill one of
the outlaws and give them another,
and still you come back.
I came back because of this.
Senor,
rangers are supposed to be
good people.
Yes.
Then I hope many come.
They will. He went after them.
Your friend, senor?
He was followed
and you are in great danger.
Willie made it to his horse.
I saw him.
Si, but he was followed very close
by four men.
He'll make it.
He's got to.
You were in a bit of a hurry.
Where you goin'?
You were in a bit of a hurry.
Where you goin'?
Mexico.
Uh-uh. Wrong direction.
Mexico's that way.
You were headed straight for town.
I want to talk to you, Brady.
Talk.
Alone.
We all know what you want to say.
You mean about being a ranger?
I had to join to get outta prison.
You gotta be able to figure that out.
And Willie took off last night
just for a moonlight ride(!)
Told me he was goin' to Mexico.
Guess his conscience
got to botherin' him.
When it's a choice between cash or
conscience, well, I'll take the cash.
Bring him out.
He wasn't headin' for Mexico.
He was going to report
to Captain Andrews.
Well, boys, we've got a coupla
rangers crawled in with us.
What d'you do
with a pair of rattlers?
Dirty double-crosser.
You took an oath, same as I did.
You hear that? He took an oath!
You're no ranger.
Willie, get this ranger nonsense
out of your head and ride with us.
I made a promise.
It means something to me.
I made a promise.
It means something to me.
We all make promises.
I made a promise.
It means something to me.
We all make promises.
I keep mine.
Well, what shall we do with them?
Give me some time with him.
Maybe I can talk some sense into him,
make him forget that oath.
We couldn't trust him.
Lock him in the church. We'll be
long gone by the time he gets out.
I've got a better idea.
Oh!
With all that gold at stake,
we couldn't take any chances.
You two were good friends once, but
he sure turned on you, didn't he?
Yeah. He sure did.
I'll give it to you,
when I think you need it.
Get your horse.
All right, mount up.
Yo!
BELL TOLLS
Must be a million bucks in gold
on those packhorses.
At least 20 soldiers guarding it,
maybe more.
Not much chance of surprising them,
not out here anyway.
Who said we'd hit 'em out here?
We'll wait until they get into town.
That's logical.
As soon as the soldiers clear, we
stampede the pack train out of town.
Want me to do that?
Want me to do that?
Uh-uh.
That's where Willie was heading
last night.
You stay here
and pick up any strays.
Still don't trust me, huh?
I trust you all right.
Jim, you and Eddie stay here
with Clint.
Sure thing, boss.
Well, Captain, looks like the gold
got through this far all right.
That doesn't mean
the gang hasn't been watching it.
Maybe they'll hit it
between here and Bisby.
Maybe they'll hit it
between here and Bisby.
They never work that territory.
Maybe they'll hit it
between here and Bisby.
They never work that territory.
That could change.
It's strange one of those three
didn't contact me.
When that gold train leaves here
tomorrow, we'll be with it.
Ha!
Ha!
If any of those packhorses
are loose, pick 'em up.
And he almost had me convinced.
And he almost had me convinced.
I'll take men and go after him.
And he almost had me convinced.
I'll take men and go after him.
No.
We'll be across the border
before he can cause any trouble. Ho!
I was about to give up on you.
I was about to give up on you.
I don't blame you.
Danny and Willie?
Danny and Willie?
Both dead.
I'm sorry.
I'll need a gun.
It'll take us a while
to pick up their trail.
It'll take us a while
to pick up their trail.
I'll take you straight to them.
They'll be in Mexico
before we catch up with them.
They'll be in Mexico
before we catch up with them.
Not unless those Indians let me down.
We'll never get the horses
through that.
Jim, take half the men back up
the canyon and hold off the posse.
We haven't got much time,
let's clear a path.
Watch out for that cactus.
Keep it moving.
BATTLE CRIES
Willie?
One last favour, senor.
Will you tell the church
to send us a padre soon?
First chance I get.
Thank you.
I've been well trained.
I'll be a good nun.
I'm sure you will.
Goodbye, Martina.
Goodbye.
but one infamous band of guerrillas
fought on - Quantrell's Raiders.'
'They'd written one of the bloodiest
pages in history by their savage
raid of hate on Laurence, Kansas.'
'Wherever they rode
they left a trail of destruction -
pillaging, killing wantonly.'
'Their leader - a man wanted dead
or alive by both north and south -
Quantrell.'
'The men who followed him
were a strange mix -
outlaws, gunfighters,
Confederate soldiers displaced in
the bitter aftermath of the war.'
No sign of cavalry ahead, Colonel.
I suggest we post a rear guard.
Brady, detail two men.
Brady, detail two men.
Yes, sir.
Did you find a place
to rest the horses after the raid?
Did you find a place
to rest the horses after the raid?
Willie scouted that.
Did you find a place
to rest the horses after the raid?
Willie scouted that.
A deserted farm west of town.
We'll take half the men
and attack the town from the north.
We'll take half the men
and attack the town from the north.
I'll lead them, sir.
We'll take half the men
and attack the town from the north.
I'll lead them, sir.
No, you'll stay with me.
Clint'll handle that detail.
All right, you men, follow me.
'Their mission - obtain guns,
provisions and money. Their orders -
shoot without warning.'
'Their objective -
a quiet, unsuspecting little town.'
I want every gun in town
piled right here.
That's Quantrell! That's Quantrell!
Let them keep the change.
Look out!
Look out!
All right, men,
let's get outta here.
You've got exactly a half-hour
to feed and water the horses.
Post lookouts
at both ends of the barn.
Post lookouts
at both ends of the barn.
Yes, sir.
'Hard on the raiders' heels
was the man ordered by the army
to end their reign of terror -
Captain Tom Andrews.'
'For 30 days he'd followed
Quantrell's bloody trail
but always too late
to stop the slaughter.'
'Again the trail led to the north.'
Forward!
Hey, hey!
Hey!
I gotta talk to you, please!
It's the old Carson place,
nobody lives there.
Take it easy, son.
I was hunting rabbits...
Just take it easy. What d'you see?
Just take it easy. What d'you see?
They went in the barn. A whole lot
of 'em, and they all had guns.
Where is this Carson place?
Where is this Carson place?
Away back off the road.
Good boy.
That oughta hold you, Colonel.
That oughta hold you, Colonel.
Yeah, that'll do, Clint.
Call the boys together.
All right, men, line up.
Montana, step out.
I said step out.
What is this - court martial?
You could call it that.
Not a sound outta you.
We're movin' on
but you're not goin' with us.
What am I supposed to be guilty of?
You saw that sniper.
You're responsible for this.
Colonel, if you're wrong, you'll
lose one of the best men you've got.
I'm not wrong, Brady.
In a regular trial,
at least you oughta have a witness.
He's got one.
He's got one.
You're a liar!
No, I'm not, Montana.
You've been wanting to take over
this command for a long time.
Now, I'll take your gun.
Quantrell!
You're surrounded.
There'll be time enough
for this later. Get your rifles.
You don't stand a chance in hell.
Throw out those guns.
Bluecoats.
Bluecoats.
Let's see those guns.
I'm not bluffing.
Fire a volley.
Clint, you and Willie
get those rifles we took today -
draw 'em out, we need time.
You two, up in the hayloft
and cover it.
Quantrell, let's see those guns.
I'll take half you men
out the front.
Brady, take the rest out the back.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Let's all get mounted.
Quantrell, I'll give you
till the count of five.
One,
two,
three, four...
Come on, let's get outta here.
Come on, let's get outta here.
I'm not leaving
till the old man's out,
but I'll open the doors for you.
Good luck, Brady.
All right, now come on out,
one at a time, with your hands up.
Let's have it.
You coulda gotten away, Willie.
You coulda gotten away, Willie.
We both coulda,
hadn't've been for that Montana.
I shoulda killed him
when I had the chance.
Agh!
'While Quantrell lay gravely wounded
in a military hospital,
the captured raiders
stood trial in this courtroom.'
Everybody rise.
Be seated.
Clint Stewart, William Martin,
you have both been found guilty.
At this time,
sentence will be passed upon you.
Your honour,
Your honour,
Yes, Captain Andrews?
I'd like to speak
on behalf of these two men.
You were chief prosecution witness.
Yes, sir, but these two
are different than the others.
How? They both rode with Quantrell.
They didn't join the raiders
until after the war. They had
no part in the Laurence massacre.
Why wasn't this testimony given
at the trial?
Why wasn't this testimony given
at the trial?
I didn't find out about it
until this morning, sir.
What difference does it make?
This is a northern court,
we'll get northern justice.
This is a northern court,
we'll get northern justice.
You knew Quantrell's reputation.
We'd no choice - they wouldn't
give a Confederate a job.
Carpetbaggers took over the south.
There wasn't much
for them to come home to.
I went home to a rock chimney
and a pile of ashes.
The men in the Laurence raid
were given life sentences
but because Captain Andrews
has come to your defence
and because of the war and the
confusion it left in men's minds,
20 years of hard labour.
This court is adjourned.
I'm sorry, I did my best.
Thanks for nothing.
Thanks for nothing.
How do you know so much about us?
Got a letter from his brother.
Got a letter from his brother.
Where is he?
Got a letter from his brother.
Where is he?
Hospital in Atlanta -
wounded in action.
He's going to be all right.
This is for you.
He read about the trial and decided
to write me about you two
and your fine war records.
and your fine war records.
Nobody cares much
if you're on the losing side.
I respect a good soldier no matter
what the colour of his uniform.
I respect a good soldier no matter
what the colour of his uniform.
All right, move along.
I'll write your brother
where he can get in touch with you.
The kid'd be better off if he forgot
he ever had me for a brother.
Thanks anyway.
Match this.
I'll call you and raise.
All right, I call.
Sorry, mister,
I got a pretty good hand.
Full house.
Wait a minute, I got a better one.
I been lookin' all over west Texas
for you.
Glad you found me tonight, Brady.
All right, everybody out. Out!
Ha, Brady, good to see ya!
Where've you been?
Where've you been?
Doin' a little penny-ante work
till my arm healed.
How is it now?
How is it now?
Faster'n I ever been.
Good. We'll find a better way
to use your talent than this.
Good. We'll find a better way
to use your talent than this.
With you, any time, Brady. Here.
I ain't forgot how
you stood up for me with Quantrell.
Quantrell dropped those charges.
He's dead.
Died in a military hospital
about a week ago.
I hate to see any man go that way -
even Quantrell!
I wonder how many of the boys got
away when we broke outta that barn.
I wonder how many of the boys got
away when we broke outta that barn.
I think the better part
of the best of them got out.
I see what you're getting at.
Way I look at it,
you're the natural heir to the gang.
The boys'd be eager
to follow that gun of yours.
Brady,
you got a head on your shoulders.
I'll put together a better gang
than Quantrell ever had.
Let's drink to it.
As soon as we get the boys together
we'll shake this Texas dust off
our heels and light out for Arizona.
What's in Arizona we'd want?
Gold. Lots of it.
Every gold train on its way
out of the mint in Washington
passes through Arizona.
And no Texas Rangers around
to stop us?
No.
'Again they rode,
the men of Quantrell.'
'They rode for greed, defying
what law there was, ravaging
a territory helpless to stop them -
helpless until the night
of June 17th 1866,
when Captain Tom Andrews, late of
the US army, rode into Tombstone
for a secret rendezvous.'
I'm here to see the governor.
I'm here to see the governor.
Tom, come on in.
Good to see you, Tom. I wasn't
expecting you for a day or so.
Sorry to interrupt your supper, sir.
Sorry to interrupt your supper, sir.
Just finished. Sit down.
Your letter said urgent.
I left the day I was discharged
from the army.
We need a man out here
who gets things done.
You're going to need more than that.
You've read the papers?
Is it as bad as it sounds?
Is it as bad as it sounds?
Worse. Four banks held up,
six gold trains captured
in the last six months.
No-one knows yet who the outlaws are.
No-one knows yet who the outlaws are.
I can make a pretty good guess.
No-one knows yet who the outlaws are.
I can make a pretty good guess.
That's what I was hoping.
They operate the same
military pattern as Quantrell.
But you wiped out Quantrell.
But you wiped out Quantrell.
Yes, but some of his men got away.
We don't have enough lawmen to
fight them. Last week, the raiders
challenged a posse to an open fight.
I can imagine what happened.
I can imagine what happened.
Posse was wiped out - to a man.
We must organise
like they did in Texas.
You mean the rangers?
We've got to organise
our own territorial police force.
I want you to head it up.
It'll take time to get
a good bunch of lawmen together.
It'll take time to get
a good bunch of lawmen together.
We don't have time.
If those raiders aren't stopped soon,
they'll take over the territory.
If those raiders aren't stopped soon,
they'll take over the territory.
I don't know.
Trying to fight the outlaws
and organise a troop of rangers,
I doubt I could pull it off.
I doubt I could pull it off.
I've never heard you
say that about anything.
Tell you what, there's just one way,
one, that we might be able
to stop that gang,
but you won't like what I want to
do.
You let me decide that.
You better order some more coffee,
because if it backfires, it could
cost you the governorship. Waiter!
'The governor agreed
to the request.'
'Two weeks later a cargo
of convicts under heavy guard
were transferred from Texas
to the territory of Arizona.
Purpose unknown.'
Pull up over there.
You all right, Willie?
You all right, Willie?
I've felt better.
Why do you suppose they're
transferring us to Umo prison?
Who cares? It couldn't be worse
than the one we were in.
Who cares? It couldn't be worse
than the one we were in.
I don't know, I hear that Umo's
the hellhole of creation.
All right, get out and stretch.
The first one that makes a wrong
move, we'll bury him out here.
Going anywhere, Willie?
Going anywhere, Willie?
I hadn't made plans. Good to get
out of that torture chamber, though.
Martin, Stewart, move out.
What the hell is this?
We need firewood, you're elected.
You've been chousing us around ever
since you took over this expedition.
You've been chousing us around ever
since you took over this expedition.
When I say move out, move!
I think the man means it.
He was better-natured when
he was wearing that blue uniform.
He was better-natured when
he was wearing that blue uniform.
Let's go, over there.
I'll tell you when to pick it up.
We need big stuff. On down there.
Hold it.
Sit down, boys.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Take it easy?
Now, that's a switch.
You been out in the sun too long,
Captain?
Prison life isn't the best way
to spend your days, is it?
Prison life isn't the best way
to spend your days, is it?
Well, I have had it easier.
Why don't you stop stalling?
Something on your mind
besides our health?
This is the badge
of the Arizona Rangers.
I'm going to make it something
a man will be proud to wear.
I'm going to make it something
a man will be proud to wear.
Well, bully for you.
Why are you telling us?
I want you and Willie to join me.
I want you and Willie to join me.
J...
Just let me get this straight -
first you put us in,
now you want to let us out.
There's got to be an awful big catch
to this.
There is - you got to help us round
up the outlaws working Arizona.
Then you get
an unconditional pardon.
Wait a minute -
what made you pick us?
You're the only ones
that can handle this job.
I see. D'you understand, Willie?
Two men who rode with Quantrell.
Exactly,
so are the ones we're after.
I hear Montana Smith
heads that outfit.
That's my guess.
You take these bracelets off of us,
what makes you sure we won't head
for Mexico and never come back?
I'm not sure of anything.
I'm willing to risk it.
It's your gamble but I'd say
the odds are against you.
That's the kinda odds I like.
Now,
you'll get horses from the guards,
and you better
take me with you a ways.
Are the guards in on this?
You're on your own.
With an empty gun.
Come on.
All right, boys, you can drop
those rifles. Get up here, hurry.
You better do as he says.
SHOUTING
How about it, Willie? We fought
together, let's escape together.
Give us a break, we're your pals.
Come on, Willie, throw me a gun.
I'm taking you with me.
SHOUTING
SHOUTING
Hey, what about us?
Take us with you.
Get your hands off.
Hey, Clint, take us with you.
Sorry, friend,
you'd just slow us down.
Get on that horse.
SHOUTING
Where do I find Montana?
Where do I find Montana?
That's part of your job.
Now, you'll need supplies
and different clothes.
I'll be glad to shed these.
There's a water hole up that draw.
One of my men'll meet you there.
He'll be a lot of help.
Wait with him. I'll get back to you
with further instructions.
Are you Captain Andrews' man?
Are you Captain Andrews' man?
Right. Ranger Danny Bonner.
Make yourself at home,
I'll be right there.
You really going to go
for this ranger stuff?
Well, I want out of prison,
I want Montana.
Then what?
We'll see.
Danny!
Didn't expect to see
your kid brother out here, did you?
You've grown a foot
since I saw you last.
You've grown a foot
since I saw you last.
You two look like you could use
a cup of coffee. Come on.
What's all this Bonner business?
What's wrong with your real name?
What's all this Bonner business?
What's wrong with your real name?
I explained in my letter.
They don't deliver letters
at that prison.
They don't deliver letters
at that prison.
You were ashamed of being my brother,
weren't you? Can't say's I blame you.
Clint, I was never ashamed of you.
Only reason I changed my name
was cos I was afraid they wouldn't
let me join the rangers if they...
If they knew about me.
If they knew about me.
I've always been proud of you,
Clint.
I've carried this with me ever since
you sent it home from Shiloh.
Symbol of a lost cause.
Now you're with the rangers,
I'll tell everybody we're brothers.
No, Danny, don't do that.
Why not? The Captain knows about it.
Let it ride as it is for now.
Anything you say, Clint.
Let me get you some more coffee.
You heard about Mother and Dad?
It's the reason I never went home
after I got out of the hospital.
D'you ever find out who killed them?
Carpetbaggers. Burned the house down
with the folks trapped inside.
If I'd gone home a week earlier,
maybe I could've...
If I'd gone home a week earlier,
maybe I could've...
I was with him, Danny.
When we heard Quantrell
was killing carpetbaggers,
we didn't care what else he did.
I see now why you joined the
raiders. I wish I'd been with you.
I'm glad you weren't, Danny.
I have a lot of respect for Captain
Andrews, teaming you two together.
Well, I think
I'll use your bathtub here, Danny.
See the way they're dressed?
It's a Yaqui tribe all right.
I wonder how friendly they are.
Hombres! Muchos hombres!
They must be part civilised.
At least they got a church.
Oh, yeah.
It'll be a good place to hole up
till the gold shipment comes through.
Who's in charge around here?
My father, Chief Ortega.
Chief, I want to make a deal
with you.
He does not speak your language.
He does not speak your language.
That's gotta be a big help.
He does not speak your language.
That's gotta be a big help.
I will translate for you.
All right.
You tell your daddy that
we're going to stay here for a while.
My father say there is no food
nor room for so many.
There is barely enough food
for these people to feed themselves.
I'll say a prayer for 'em. We've
got everything we need right here.
My father say you can't stay here.
Tell your pappy we're going to stay
here whether he likes it or not.
Go on, tell him!
Let's get rid of the old man.
Let's get rid of the old man.
If we have a gun at the chief's head
his people won't give us trouble.
Maybe you're right.
Let's get them into the church.
Come on, let's go.
Move!
Everybody but you, honey.
We're going to keep you around
a while,
to maybe do the cookin'. Huh, Brady?
It might be a long wait.
All right, keep an eye on 'em.
All right, men, search all the huts.
Make sure you got all of 'em.
That's some shootin', huh, Danny?
That's some shootin', huh, Danny?
Not too bad.
A trifle slow maybe.
I'll admit I'm a little rusty,
but if you're going to be so
critical, let's see what you can do.
You better get ready.
You better get ready.
I'm ready. Let's have it.
That's not bad... for a kid.
Let's have it.
Let's have it.
I've never seen anything like that
before. Let's see it again, Willie.
Lucky fluke. The kid's gettin'
too big for his britches.
Where did you learn
to shoot like that?
Where did you learn
to shoot like that?
I copied Clint's style -
that is, the style he had
before he slowed down.
that is, the style he had
before he slowed down.
Hey, watch it, ranger.
Hi, Captain.
Hi, Captain.
Hi, Danny.
Hi, Captain.
Hi, Danny.
About time you got here.
You're no more anxious to get moving
than I am.
I spread word about your escape.
Montana won't be surprised
when you show up.
Montana won't be surprised
when you show up.
Tell me where I can find him.
They were last seen near the town of
Panal. It's a good place to start.
I'll get the horses.
I'll get the horses.
I'll give you a hand.
As soon as you locate that gang
join up with them, but be careful.
When you find out when and where
they'll strike,
get word to me in Panal.
You're placing a lot of trust in me.
I figure you had a good taste
of the other side of the law.
I figure you had a good taste
of the other side of the law.
That's right.
What if we decided to tip off that
gang and hightail it for the border?
In that case, I'd order the best man
in my outfit to hunt you down
and shoot... to kill.
Danny?
That could pose a problem.
I have to swear you into
the rangers. Raise your right hand.
Do you swear to render loyal service
to the territory of Arizona?
Do you swear to render loyal service
to the territory of Arizona?
I do.
I do.
Good luck.
So long, Clint.
Goodbye, Danny.

# SPANISH GUITAR
Do not stay here, senor.
You don't exactly
make a customer feel welcome.
You don't exactly
make a customer feel welcome.
You're one of the men who escaped.
I see your poster this morning.
You keep your eyes open, don't you?
You keep your eyes open, don't you?
Sometimes it pays.
I've been looking for some friends
of mine -
they've been working round here.
They might be in an Indian village,
south, near the border.
I think we may be onto something.
Down there. They should be
round the bend any minute.
Loaded with gold.
That's the big one
we've been waitin' on.
At the rate they're movin',
they should be
where we want 'em by mornin'.
Should we go back
and report to Montana?
He'll go along
with what we aim to do.
This place looks deserted. You think
that girl was pulling your leg?
I don't know.
We can sure find out.
Meet me at the church.
POUNDING
Lookee here, honey.
Look what I just found.
Hello, Eddie.
Hello, Eddie.
Willie!
Hello, Eddie.
Willie!
Keep it nice and quiet, huh?
Good old Montana.
Good old Montana.
What the devil's goin' on?
Clint just wants to spend about 20
seconds with your boss, that's all.
Clint just wants to spend about 20
seconds with your boss, that's all.
I knew he'd be back 'fore long.
Whew! What is this?
Sure ain't whiskey.
Forbidden drink.
Not for me it ain't.
Ah!
What do they call this stuff?
Peyote, devil curse.
Yeah, I heard about it,
that's good stuff.
No, make men crazy.
Want kill.
I hear tell how it...
makes women a little wild too.
Let's try a little bit
and see what it does for you.
Come on, a little bit.
Come on, a little bit.
No.
Come on, a little bit.
No.
A little bit.
Come on, a little bit.
No.
A little bit.
No!
It sure do bring out
the devil in you, don't it?
Why don't we try a little more?
How about me?
I been expectin' you, Clint.
Well, I'm here.
Why don't you forget what happened?
You can ride with us again.
Sure, till my back was turned.
GUNFIRE
The cross! The cross!
Thanks for the warning.
Senor, will you help me?
How?
How?
My mother and father
are being held in the church.
Where are the rest of your people?
Where are the rest of your people?
Hiding in the hills, or dead.
Two weeks ago, he and his men
come into our village to kill...
and to...
You see how he treat me.
Yes.
Senor, please, we must hurry.
HORSES APPROACHING
Put those guns away.
You first, Brady.
What chance have you got
against all of us?
What chance have you got
against all of us?
This much.
What have we got to fight about?
Lost one and gained two.
When I heard you broke loose, I knew
you had a stinger out for Montana.
You got a grudge
against any of the rest of us?
No, that's it.
Good. I don't imagine
they served whiskey where you been.
How about a drink?
Why not?
I'd appreciate it
if you got back to your cookin'.
The boys'll be wantin' somethin'
to eat before long. Go on, git.
Come on, let's have a drink.
Stolen from one of the best hotels
in Arizona.
They sure didn't give
this kinda stuff to us prisoners.
Wasn't Captain Andrews
guarding those prison wagons
when you made your break?
That's right.
He's head of the Arizona Rangers now.
Why'd you let him go -
why didn't you kill him?
Then they woulda had
all their dogs out after us.
Yeah,
I guess you're right.
Who cares about ex-prisoners? But if
we killed the head of the rangers...
Somebody oughta get him.
Somebody oughta get him.
They will.
What d'you think of our cook?
What d'you think of our cook?
I think you better watch her
or she'll poison you.
Why don't you let her go?
She'll treat us all right, as long
as we've got a gun on the chief.
We don't have to chance her cookin'
much longer.
We don't have to chance her cookin'
much longer.
There's lots of gold
comin' through here.
That's what we've been waitin' for.
Then we're headin'
for the promised land - Mexico.
Maybe we'll see you there.
How come?
How come?
Won't chance goin' back where you
can't get this. We're headin' out.
Why don't you stay?
We could use you, Clint.
Why don't you stay?
We could use you, Clint.
No thanks. Some other day.
Mexico's just beyond
that mountain range, isn't it?
Mexico's just beyond
that mountain range, isn't it?
Yeah, I scouted 'em real good.
The best pass
is right through there.
Thanks for the whiskey.
Thanks.
You had to open your fat mouth.
Did it occur to you they might try
to beat us to that gold train?
I thought they were going to be
ridin' with us.
You and Matt follow 'em. Make sure
they really are headin' for Mexico.
Clint, you really plannin'
on goin' to Mexico?
I sure am.
What about the captain,
and your brother?
What about the captain,
and your brother?
What about 'em?
You used them. You never intended
to keep your promise.
It's the promise I made to myself
that counts with me.
I kept that one.
Coming?
Hi, Clint. How'd you make out?
We made out.
Why don't you just tell him?
Tell me what?
Captain sent you
to keep an eye on us, huh?
He doesn't have the faith in you
I have.
Well, I guess you know
this trail leads to Mexico.
I figured you might be circling back
through town, in case somebody...
It's no good, Danny,
I wasn't cut out to be a lawman.
Why don't you go tell the Captain
I resigned?
Why don't you go tell the Captain
I resigned?
You can't do that, Clint.
Sorry, Danny. It has to be this way.
Stay right where you are,
don't turn around.
You're under arrest, Clint.
I took an oath, just like you did.
Maybe it didn't mean anything to you
but it does to me.
You with him or me?
Reckon I'll have to string along
with the kid here, Clint.
How did a kid like that
ever get a gun on those two?
How did a kid like that
ever get a gun on those two?
I don't know.
Bring my horse, Willie.
We got a long ride
back to the captain.
I gotta talk to you,
I gotta convince you.
You just lie back there
and take it easy.
Clint, I don't have much time and
I gotta talk some sense into you.
You've...
already talked some sense into me.
You mean it?
You're seeing things the right way?
Yes, Danny,
I'm seeing things the right way.
I knew you wouldn't run out on me.
I knew it all along.
Clint,
it's getting kinda dark.
It's a little cloudy, Danny.
Clint, I can't see it!
It's Matt and Duke.
Well, looks like
I got you two outta trouble.
I'll be damned - a ranger.
And you're lookin' at two more.
I won't draw against you, Clint.
I won't draw against you.
See? I'm taking my gun belt off.
BATTLE CRIES
Let them have him, Willie.
BATTLE CRIES
Well, which is it? Are we
going to Mexico or heading on back?
You know the answer to that.
We're going to have to work fast,
Brady'll miss those two.
What is it, Matt?
Martina, come over here.
See if you can do something for him.
They practise torture.
And you have driven them
back to this.
If you do not go,
it will be for all of you.
HORSES APPROACHING
That's Matt!
Too late to back out now.
Changed your mind?
Yeah, one taste of those Indians
and we suddenly got gold fever.
How is he?
The Yaqui are good
at this sort of torture. He's dead.
You know anything about this?
You know anything about this?
The Indians
were chasing him and Duke.
They killed Duke and carried him off
before we could help.
And you fellas came through
without a scratch!
Thanks to his shooting. He got
four Yaqui before they got away.
How about it, can you still use us?
We need every man we can get.
You'll find grain for your horses
around back.
It sure doesn't make sense,
Duke and Matt
runnin' from those Indians.
The Yaquis don't have any guns.
Our boys were carrying rifles. Why
didn't they stop and fight 'em off?
I don't know.
OWL HOOTING
Everybody's oilin' their guns.
Looks like they're gettin' ready
to pull out in the mornin'.
D'you think Brady fell for that
story we told him about the fight?
D'you think Brady fell for that
story we told him about the fight?
Not too much.
That means
they'll be out lookin' for Duke.
That means
they'll be out lookin' for Duke.
They won't bother.
They're bound to be gettin' ready to
hit that gold train in the morning.
We better get word
to Captain Andrews.
We better get word
to Captain Andrews.
That'll be you.
I'll stay and cover for you.
What're you going to tell them
when they miss me?
If you get back here before daylight,
they won't miss you.
Suppose I don't?
I'll think of something.
I'll tell them you decided to take
that trip to Mexico after all.
Think they'll believe you?
It's a 50-50 chance.
Senor, I must talk with you.
Why don't you run away from here?
I cannot leave my mother and father.
I cannot leave my mother and father.
You can't do anything to help them.
I cannot leave my mother and father.
You can't do anything to help them.
I can pray.
I suppose that won't hurt.
How did you learn to speak English?
The padre, before they kill him,
he teach me to speak English and...
They killed the padre?
They killed the padre?
Yes, just as he was teaching
my people a new way of life.
Like torturing that man we let
the Yaquis capture this morning?
No, that was the old way.
The way of the savage Yaqui.
They were driven out of Mexico
to wander through the desert.
My husband and my children were
killed on that flight from Mexico.
I'm sorry.
I want the new way of life
for my people.
The way the padre was teaching.
To build, to plant things,
to live in peace.
Why are you telling me this?
I trust you.
You have no reason to.
Are not rangers supposed
to be good men?
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
What do you know about the rangers?
I just come from my people
out there.
They give me this.
Danny's.
My people say you kill one of
the outlaws and give them another,
and still you come back.
I came back because of this.
Senor,
rangers are supposed to be
good people.
Yes.
Then I hope many come.
They will. He went after them.
Your friend, senor?
He was followed
and you are in great danger.
Willie made it to his horse.
I saw him.
Si, but he was followed very close
by four men.
He'll make it.
He's got to.
You were in a bit of a hurry.
Where you goin'?
You were in a bit of a hurry.
Where you goin'?
Mexico.
Uh-uh. Wrong direction.
Mexico's that way.
You were headed straight for town.
I want to talk to you, Brady.
Talk.
Alone.
We all know what you want to say.
You mean about being a ranger?
I had to join to get outta prison.
You gotta be able to figure that out.
And Willie took off last night
just for a moonlight ride(!)
Told me he was goin' to Mexico.
Guess his conscience
got to botherin' him.
When it's a choice between cash or
conscience, well, I'll take the cash.
Bring him out.
He wasn't headin' for Mexico.
He was going to report
to Captain Andrews.
Well, boys, we've got a coupla
rangers crawled in with us.
What d'you do
with a pair of rattlers?
Dirty double-crosser.
You took an oath, same as I did.
You hear that? He took an oath!
You're no ranger.
Willie, get this ranger nonsense
out of your head and ride with us.
I made a promise.
It means something to me.
I made a promise.
It means something to me.
We all make promises.
I made a promise.
It means something to me.
We all make promises.
I keep mine.
Well, what shall we do with them?
Give me some time with him.
Maybe I can talk some sense into him,
make him forget that oath.
We couldn't trust him.
Lock him in the church. We'll be
long gone by the time he gets out.
I've got a better idea.
Oh!
With all that gold at stake,
we couldn't take any chances.
You two were good friends once, but
he sure turned on you, didn't he?
Yeah. He sure did.
I'll give it to you,
when I think you need it.
Get your horse.
All right, mount up.
Yo!
BELL TOLLS
Must be a million bucks in gold
on those packhorses.
At least 20 soldiers guarding it,
maybe more.
Not much chance of surprising them,
not out here anyway.
Who said we'd hit 'em out here?
We'll wait until they get into town.
That's logical.
As soon as the soldiers clear, we
stampede the pack train out of town.
Want me to do that?
Want me to do that?
Uh-uh.
That's where Willie was heading
last night.
You stay here
and pick up any strays.
Still don't trust me, huh?
I trust you all right.
Jim, you and Eddie stay here
with Clint.
Sure thing, boss.
Well, Captain, looks like the gold
got through this far all right.
That doesn't mean
the gang hasn't been watching it.
Maybe they'll hit it
between here and Bisby.
Maybe they'll hit it
between here and Bisby.
They never work that territory.
Maybe they'll hit it
between here and Bisby.
They never work that territory.
That could change.
It's strange one of those three
didn't contact me.
When that gold train leaves here
tomorrow, we'll be with it.
Ha!
Ha!
If any of those packhorses
are loose, pick 'em up.
And he almost had me convinced.
And he almost had me convinced.
I'll take men and go after him.
And he almost had me convinced.
I'll take men and go after him.
No.
We'll be across the border
before he can cause any trouble. Ho!
I was about to give up on you.
I was about to give up on you.
I don't blame you.
Danny and Willie?
Danny and Willie?
Both dead.
I'm sorry.
I'll need a gun.
It'll take us a while
to pick up their trail.
It'll take us a while
to pick up their trail.
I'll take you straight to them.
They'll be in Mexico
before we catch up with them.
They'll be in Mexico
before we catch up with them.
Not unless those Indians let me down.
We'll never get the horses
through that.
Jim, take half the men back up
the canyon and hold off the posse.
We haven't got much time,
let's clear a path.
Watch out for that cactus.
Keep it moving.
BATTLE CRIES
Willie?
One last favour, senor.
Will you tell the church
to send us a padre soon?
First chance I get.
Thank you.
I've been well trained.
I'll be a good nun.
I'm sure you will.
Goodbye, Martina.
Goodbye.
