Queen of Swords (2000) s01e04 Episode Script
Vengeance
1
Remind you of anyone?
Yes.
It was a girl about 15 years ago.
Tessa and I think her name was?
A lovely child, I'm sure.
What a good future.
It's the big thing so I was black and
blue.
Only after you pulled her hair.
I don't remember that.
I look missing your hair, listen.
You take your life in your hands,
gentlemen.
Would be a shame to end our harvest pest
with one of your fuels.
If anyone dies today, it won't be because
of my life.
50 head of cattle I buy from Donaghilera.
Now almost half are dead from disease.
Those cows were healthy enough when I sold
them.
You think you can ruin my hacienda?
Have you checked?
Your water or your feet?
So now I am to blame.
You run a filthy ranch.
If your cattle die, it's not my fault.
This isn't over yet.
Good day.
Can you eat it?
Donaghilera.
Don't you join the harvest pest?
No.
Must be the heat.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
What
do you think for us?
What do you think?
Did it go around the I take land.
Will you live?
Do my best.
Is that all I could find in your office?
Right.
But to hell, will it be alright?
The bulkiest is heart by an inch.
You didn't answer my mind.
One question.
So be it.
Ramon.
Ramon, wait.
Just let me talk to you, please.
My father is a great man.
I can't let Frances cake.
I'll get away with this.
You don't know, Frances did it.
Then Andy only one who doesn't.
Where are you going?
This is no business or women.
Stay out of it.
Finally, I'm going to see you.
Yeah.
Now, let me tell you all about nothing you
have with your uncle Louis.
See you soon.
So, good next.
Are me, my darling.
Like games, one of my father fights for
his life.
I'm a deeper sympathy for you.
I do not protect the innocent,
you know.
Especially those of the richest dogs.
You are upset.
You just understand it.
Why is Fuentay's not behind bars?
Because I have no proof.
Proof?
The arrow came from a rooftop.
Capitan Christian and his man are coming
to town now for his asylum.
What having such fun?
Mr. But child.
God.
Either you deal with Fuentes or I win.
You do nothing.
You're not worried.
The guilty shall be punished.
Even if he is one of
the most powerful dons
in Sarino with influence
in the royal court.
I have to respect for your big father.
I will pretend I did not hear that.
If my father dies, it would not be the
last blood spilled in this town.
But that would be a poster for you.
A big tray for such a small girl.
Listen, you'll eat him.
Come on.
That's a good end.
Someone wanted to kill Excellently.
And Brad daylight in the middle of a
crowd.
But a gun would have revealed this
position.
Someone thinks it's somebody who went to a
center.
One of his grandchildren.
Not with this.
Whoever did this was a professional.
Assassin.
I feel excused.
No.
Not that.
You heard what Dr. Hamilton and SSE.
That's what they've heard.
Who won't stop until he gets the drop
down?
Look.
They don't use wave-guard.
Not that.
Someone and I have been friends since we
were children.
I can't just wait for it to happen again.
They said.
Don't worry.
They didn't.
I think of that.
Running.
It's all about control, really.
Without my firm hand, these roses will
grow wild.
Come leave you take over the garden.
And if there is one thing I will not
tolerate, it is anarchy.
You have my word, Colonel.
I had nothing to do with the attack.
Maybe you did?
Maybe you didn't.
I don't pretend to be the voice of your
conscience.
It's true that Dr. Lad and I had words.
I won't deny that.
My point is, Fuentes.
That it was all just so vulgar.
My town, my fiesta.
My assassin.
If I wanted to kill, I wouldn't do it in
public.
I'd slit this throat while he slept.
That's what I like to hear.
This question.
When the garden goes out of control,
there is only one way to stop it.
I have orders to search all rooms.
Yes, of course.
After what happened today, we can't be too
careful.
You're dead.
I took the words right out of my mouth.
Two finishes later.
Doctor, I am.
What is the meaning of this display?
It's meant for my Hessian.
Send them home.
One of your soldiers lies dead in the
hotel.
Two more lying conscious.
I am more than capable of doing the
arithmetic.
I'm not protecting my father.
Do not test me, young man.
Unless you and your men are prepared to
suffer the consequences.
I'm all
I'm sorry.
Papa!
In unexpected development, Doctor.
There was so much bleeding there was
nothing I could do.
I won't.
I'm not for the angels, huh?
And I lit up.
It's been a long day.
I'm sure you did.
Your sympathy is wasted on me.
I'm looking for someone.
That maybe you could help.
Looking nice, him.
No, it wasn't.
The closer.
Are you sure?
I wonder about this.
Where did you get there?
The assassin wasn't after them.
He was trying to kill you.
You get out.
Now that the dawn is dead, I'm almost up
at nothing to avenge his father.
I am not responsible for what Ramon does.
Aren't you?
He still thinks Fuentes is behind it.
The man you took that from.
You got away.
So he's still alive.
Well, let Ramon believe what he believes.
Say for that way.
Can't be serious.
This is my business.
You stay the hell out.
Looks like I'm not the only one who hides
behind a mask.
Just like your father.
I'm truly sorry to hear your loss.
Go to hell.
Not so fast.
As soon as I learned of your father's
death, I took precautions.
I do that.
Not her.
I give you my solemn word.
I did not kill your father.
Why should I believe you?
Because it may be your only hope.
Blood, blood!
I did not kill your father.
Children, you leave me not choice.
Get away from the house.
Get away from the house, you ndah.
No one can tie this to me.
May God forgive me.
What were we here?
Dr. Ham.
Looking for anything in particular?
As a matter of fact, I thought I might
lend you a hand.
Indeed.
Hi, Molyres.
As a scientist, I'm a trained observer.
I thought I might spot something that your
soul just had overlooked.
And any luck?
I'm afraid not.
Really, Doctor, such dedication to your
work.
And to my investigation is truly
admirable.
Almost unbelievable.
And the killer colonel,
any Progress?
Sadly, he too remains a mystery.
But never fear.
No one can hide from Montoya forever.
Come on!
What are you doing?
This is close enough.
You can walk home from here.
I want you to listen to what I'm saying.
Don't fight this with telling you the
truth.
He didn't kill your father.
But he was the only one within a hundred
miles who had any motive.
If it wasn't Fuentes, who was it?
It was a mistake.
An accident.
The assassin wasn't aiming at don't have
you later.
Your father just got in the way.
What the hell are you talking about?
It's the truth, I swear.
Not the whole truth.
It's all you need to know.
My father is dead.
I want answers.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry.
Stay away from don't point this.
Today I killed a man to save your life.
I won't do it again.
And the queen of swords would often to the
hills.
I can't believe you haven't heard.
The news is all over town.
I've been very busy.
Your pulse is fine.
When did these headaches start?
This morning, I think.
I wonder what Ramon is thinking right now.
To come so close to death.
I think it's thrilling.
I can find no sign of fever at all.
What about these chills?
Are you in pain now?
No, not me.
Ramon.
Imagine your tormenting must be going
through.
It sounds very foolish to me.
I think it's romantic.
So young and passionate.
Ready to give up his life.
to avenge his father's death.
I'm sure he won't give up until he dies
trying.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to
excuse me.
Put my symptoms.
Is it serious?
Sugar water won't cure now.
Please, I have lots of appointments.
Of course.
Thank you.
I got your message.
I'm here.
Thank you for coming.
It's my father's funeral tomorrow.
There's a lot to do at the ranch.
I promise you this is important.
I'm waiting.
Just one more person.
I'm telling you, I'm going to find him.
You.
I still alive.
You bastard and I intend to keep it that
way.
You have one minute to explain yourself.
Doctor, it was me.
You are not thinking sets.
I was the target not Agalaera.
I feel crazy.
It's the truth.
The boat that killed your father was meant
for me.
So sorry Ramon.
If your father was killed in the
crossfire, if I could change places
Why would anybody
want to kill you?
Many reasons.
But they will go to the grave with me.
I should, I believe you.
Look at me!
Look into my eyes.
That's not life you see, that is death.
And death leaves a trail.
It was kind of moved no wonder you were
still single.
I would have slipped my throat and get it
over with or take your knee off my right.
What the hell are you doing?
Following me?
Tell me why you're leaving town.
Tell me who's under the mask.
I asked first.
I'm talking to you.
This is all your way through here.
Are you looking for something?
My horse.
Of course.
Yeah.
Horse.
Equus.
Full legs, big head, long tail.
There's a ratchet few miles west.
You could always get a new one there.
That is, of course, for still planning on
running away.
I am not running away.
I am walking.
We're wasting time, Colonel.
Yes or no?
You must forgive my manners.
I've already forgotten your name.
I didn't give it.
You're obviously not interested in my
proposal, so why waste both our time?
Don't be absurd.
Sit.
My anonymous friend.
Sit.
After all, that's the great bird himself.
It's one cent.
What's in the name?
Do we have a deal?
You delivered to me the Queen of Swords.
And you gave me Dr. Helm.
It seems like a fair trade to me.
Nice country.
I wish we knew where we were.
You haven't been here before?
It's all new to me.
Are you sure this is the only way?
Well, if you remember, I suggested the
canyon pass.
I mean leaving town.
The young way to stop him is to kill you.
And you refuse to take a life even to save
your own?
I swore an oath.
I'm a doctor now.
That man in the sketch.
The one with the beard.
Who is he?
That man is dead.
You've seen us.
I, yes.
I'm touching.
The other to you, my mysterious friend.
Lead us far.
into victory.
As blood is mine.
As soon as I have the Queen of Swords,
kill that son of a bitch.
If we've seen Montoya, then he spotted us.
The life of him is with him.
Montoya, so do you out to the assassin.
I'm trying to get to you.
What are you doing?
We'll never make it together.
I'm not leaving you here.
You don't want to walk.
Easy now.
Doctor, are you all right?
Go!
The tracks are heading west.
Leading us away from the doctor.
The woman has a good heart.
I've got to keep it in a jar on my desk.
Quickly or slowly.
How do you want to die?
Who are you?
Vengeance.
I don't understand.
Ian Latham was my brother.
Ian?
That's it, now you remember.
The man you murdered.
That was murder.
That was war!
The rats
are still leading west.
But now they are not so deep.
Ah, little voice whispers in my head.
Right on.
I'm turning back.
Ten reality to the man who kills the Queen
of Swords.
Doctor Killers more like it.
Not anymore.
You think death is something you can wear
one day or not the next?
Tell me you don't dream yet, still.
All that blood.
And the death.
Tell me!
I can't.
Bloody hell farmer, I must shot you.
It's lucky for me, we did him.
It is Corporal Ian Latham.
They won't know you.
No, but I know you.
And what's this all about, eh?
The British troop placements you were
about to deliver to the French.
Sorry, mate, you've got the wrong.
Come on, come on, what are you dying?
Who are you?
I've left ten in Robert Hillman's
Majesty's service.
And this is what I was looking for.
Hey!
It's me.
It's your brother.
My brother was no spy.
He was seen talking with the French.
He had the documents on him.
Ian was innocent.
I had no choice.
I had my orders.
You know the funny thing about vengeance.
They get sweeter with age.
Goodbye, Doctor.
Come on, you bastard.
Doctor.
So
you have even looked up to your sword.
How brave.
But how incredibly stupid.
So why don't you just kill me?
Oops.
Now I'm really
Take your best shot.
You still got a taste of blood,
don't you?
Let it go.
Now you bastard!
What are you waiting for?
You're a kid.
Doctor Hillman, you completely lost your
mind.
You bargained for my life.
Really, I'm sure there has been some
misunderstanding.
No Colonel, you and I understand each
other perfectly.
Drop the crossbow.
I am sure that we can work something out.
If you would just be so kind as to
run your sword through the young lady
behind me.
Which young lady is that?
Just smell the scent of her blood.
You're a complicated man, Colonel.
Not really.
Killers and assassins.
They are who you say.
A dime a dozen.
But where would I find another doctor?
Or another horse.
You see?
A life for a life.
But God, they mock him on to air.
It's a long walk back to town,
Colonel.
So it is.
You're not, Doctor.
Sometimes I think I am too virtuous for my
own good.
Don't push it, Colonel.
You're either a messy
housekeeper or I've decided to stay.
Tell somebody else I'm scanning for you.
Tell me like that.
Just closer to any point and asking what
it was all about.
That's back in the past, now where it
belongs.
I'm glad you came, though.
You are?
I wasn't sure when I'd see you again.
Have you seen something?
Maybe.
Should I be flattered?
Well, that's up to you.
But I'm just returning your sword.
Thank you, Doctor.
Oh, by the way.
It's nice to be back.
Remind you of anyone?
Yes.
It was a girl about 15 years ago.
Tessa and I think her name was?
A lovely child, I'm sure.

Donaghilera.
Don't you join the harvest pest?
No.

Thank you.
Thank you all.
What
do you think for us?
What do you think?
Did it go around the I take land.
Will you live?
Do my best.
Is that all I could find in your office?
Right.
But to hell, will it be alright?
The bulkiest is heart by an inch.

Ian Latham was my brother.
Ian?
That's it, now you remember.
The man you murdered.
That was murder.
That was war!
The rats
are still leading west.
But now they are not so deep.
Ah, little voice whispers in my head.
Right on.
I'm turning back.
Ten reality to the man who kills the Queen
of Swords.
Doctor Killers more like it.
Not anymore.
You think death is something you can wear
one day or not the next?
Tell me you don't dream yet, still.
All that blood.
And the death.
Tell me!
I can't.
Bloody hell farmer, I must shot you.
It's lucky for me, we did him.
It is Corporal Ian Latham.
They won't know you.
No, but I know you.
And what's this all about, eh?
The British troop placements you were
about to deliver to the French.
Sorry, mate, you've got the wrong.
Come on, come on, what are you dying?
Who are you?
I've left ten in Robert Hillman's
Majesty's service.
And this is what I was looking for.
Hey!
It's me.
It's your brother.
My brother was no spy.
He was seen talking with the French.
He had the documents on him.
Ian was innocent.
I had no choice.
I had my orders.
You know the funny thing about vengeance.
They get sweeter with age.
Goodbye, Doctor.
Come on, you bastard.
Doctor.
So
you have even looked up to your sword.
How brave.
But how incredibly stupid.
So why don't you just kill me?
Oops.
Now I'm really
Take your best shot.
You still got a taste of blood,
don't you?
Let it go.
Now you bastard!
What are you waiting for?
You're a kid.
Doctor Hillman, you completely lost your
mind.
You bargained for my life.
Really, I'm sure there has been some
misunderstanding.
No Colonel, you and I understand each
other perfectly.
Drop the crossbow.
I am sure that we can work something out.
If you would just be so kind as to
run your sword through the young lady
behind me.
Which young lady is that?
Just smell the scent of her blood.
You're a complicated man, Colonel.
Not really.
Killers and assassins.
They are who you say.
A dime a dozen.
But where would I find another doctor?
Or another horse.
You see?
A life for a life.
But God, they mock him on to air.
It's a long walk back to town,
Colonel.
So it is.
You're not, Doctor.
Sometimes I think I am too virtuous for my
own good.
Don't push it, Colonel.
You're either a messy
housekeeper or I've decided to stay.
Tell somebody else I'm scanning for you.
Tell me like that.
Just closer to any point and asking what
it was all about.
That's back in the past, now where it
belongs.
I'm glad you came, though.
You are?
I wasn't sure when I'd see you again.
Have you seen something?
Maybe.
Should I be flattered?
Well, that's up to you.
But I'm just returning your sword.
Thank you, Doctor.
Oh, by the way.
It's nice to be back.
