Queen of Swords (2000) s01e06 Episode Script
Duel with a Stranger
1
In your place, no!
It's done paying taxes!
Leave it!
Nice!
Up there!
Quickly!
No, it's dangerous.
The gentleman from Spain does not run from
danger.
Turn this carriage now.
See.
Drop your soul until you die.
What kind of land breeds women like you
are?
Drop your weapon.
Let that man go.
Now.
What's this?
What does it look like?
I bought it.
You're getting sloppy.
I didn't think Uncle Alejandro would try
to kill me.
I'm
so glad you're here.
You look so much like your mother.
It brings tears to my eyes.
What did you tell me you were coming?
I couldn't prepare the Essienda for you.
Well, I sent you a little months ago.
Well, no doubt the male delivery in the
colony is terrible.
But that's her.
You've now settled your father's affairs.
Why are you still in this part about it
place, huh?
Well, California is in Spain.
But it has its own charm.
Charm.
No.
Just a few miles down the road.
I witnessed who his majesty soldiers being
brutally attacked and by a female bandit.
Oh, the queen of swords.
Well, she's not It doesn't matter who
she is.
The colony is no place for a woman if
you're bleeding.
Uncle, you remember Martyr, right?
Split to see you again, but at hander.
And Martyr, you're looking fit,
huh?
Yeah.
Give this to the driver and see that my
bags get inside her.
Thank you.
I missed you so much.
This will not do a tall copy dance.
It's just a goat and a couple of sheep.
It's a big deal.
It is the principal.
Twenty reality today.
Fifty reality tomorrow.
The woman is like a plague.
Speaking of plagues.
Dad.
Colonel, what's my up?
Don't record, though.
I understand there has been an unfortunate
incident.
How dare you send soldiers onto my land
and arrest my farmers?
I regret that there has been some
misunderstanding.
There is no misunderstanding, Colonel.
A tenant's first obligation is to is done.
Maybe back in Spain.
But this is the new world.
I don't believe I was addressing you,
Capitan.
When you attack my people, you attack me.
In the future, keep your dog on his leash.
Does the what?
All that takes me.
Nothing to you.
Even authorities.
I would change his attitude real fast.
I wish him.
I can always count on you for the obvious.
If you get a better idea, let's hear it.
Hey, she's
patience.
Good ideas are like flowers.
They've lost them in their own time.
And meanwhile, you've got a small scale
revolution on your hands.
Don't worry.
Soon I will read myself a ton of regard,
though.
Don't profit from it as well.
Wow, that sounds great.
In theory.
Those who stand by me, shall I share in my
good fortune?
Those who don't.
Well, let us not talk such things before
lunch.
To a good brother and a fine father who's
sorely missed.
Yes, he is.
You know, your father asked me to look
after you as if you were my own daughter.
And so you had.
And so I will continue.
Uncle, you still haven't told me what
brought you halfway around the world.
Oh, there's plenty of time to talk about
that later.
Right now, let's talk of more pleasant
things, huh?
You're present.
I think you're going to like it.
I'm sure I will.
But to leave the comfort
of Madrid and come to
a place so primitive,
let's be very important.
Well, let's just say it's men's business.
No thing for you to worry about.
It's not that I'm worried.
But you are in my home.
And if your business concerns me,
I would like to know what it is.
or desert.
A true lady of the house does not pester
or cast in such a manner, right?
I'm sorry.
I'm in no offense.
Ah.
Is this it?
Thank you.
Now, I found this on one of my trips.
She's beautiful.
Let's mark that she's wearing a wedding
dress.
Perhaps soon, I will see you.
Can you stop the dress, eh?
Thank you.
Perhaps soon, I'll know the real reason
why you're here.
You're investigating your brother's death.
There is a rumour circulating court of a
Spain.
That he was murdered.
Now, rumours, yes.
Stuffing the ears of men with false
reports.
With all the respect, Colin, that is what
I plan to find out.
Indeed.
What do you say, vision?
investigated the accident earlier,
sir.
As we would, the death of any don.
And we found absolutely no evidence
whatsoever any wrongdoing.
What about witnesses?
None came forward, sir.
It's not a report, as usual.
So, there you have it.
I'm afraid you've come all this way for
nothing tonight, Hunter.
I know he's trying to do the right thing,
but he has no idea what is taken on here.
Oh, who he's dealing with?
This is his name.
He's always been so headstrong.
I don't think you can protect him without
exposing the queen.
I just don't want him to get hurt because
he has the wrong people to write questions.
What if he actually finds out the truth
before I do?
And he may suffer the same fate as your
father.
I would like to help, but my resources are
limited.
How could I justify
jeopardizing the safety of this
community to help you to
pursue what a phantom?
I would be in their election of my duty.
Your duty is to me, Colin L.
Really?
Your orders.
Signed by the vice-president, sir.
You are a man of influence, Donale Handel.
The vice-president expects your full
cooperation.
We shall do a secret, man's.
See that Donale Handel has everything he
needs.
I'll leave now, stand and turn.
But you must understand.
We found no evidence of the sight of the
alleged crime.
Understood.
And if there were witnesses, surely they
would have come forward for now.
I'd like these, put up around town.
1,000 gold rallies.
At a ward of this sight,
it should bring even
the most reluctant
slug from under his rock.
It is a fortune many men will kill for.
Is the golden safe place?
I have 100 realities with me.
The rest will be sent from Spain when the
killer has been convicted.
And how?
Would you well be shopping or something?
You think this is funny?
The fool has just signed his own death
warrant.
I'll really, because, you know,
I thought he just signed ours.
Think about it.
When our local band is learned
that he is carrying 100 pieces
of gold, we're falling all
over themselves to steal it.
And who knows?
Tragically, he might even be given the
attempt.
What is it?
I was thinking about that doll.
One thing about Uncle Alejandro would
never be accused of being subtle.
Think he's kind of nice.
If you're living here as a single human.
Can you imagine his reaction if he found
out what I do in my spare time?
He books you up and she debate to a
combat.
He idolized my bond.
I think it broke his heart when his big
brother laughed.
And now he's trying to finish us.
So they don't prove to be too big.
Someone's coming.
He wants to meet me in the morning.
He has some information about your
father's death.
You're not going.
Of course I'm going.
This is what I've been waiting for.
Then I'm coming with you.
No.
Much too dangerous.
Your father would never permit it and
neither will I.
Dangerous for me and not for you.
He was your father.
But he was also my brother.
My older, wiser and stronger brother.
The world praised him.
But he raised me.
I know how much you loved him.
The best of what I am.
It's because of him.
He would face the moment.
And so will I.
Please.
I don't understand.
I have a chance to find out the truth
about your father's death.
And you act as if you don't want to know.
What if this is trap?
What if it's the assassin?
All the better.
I would be glad that the chance to stare
my brother's killer in there.
I beg you.
Don't go.
Yes, sir.
Are you your father's daughter?
About.
You have information for me?
About the murder of Senior Laborado.
Yes.
So it was murder.
Did you bring the money?
First, the information.
You expect me to trust you?
And don't let me under our brado.
I might have won her.
Then we have nothing in common.
Senior.
Come on, just kill him.
Get that out of there.
Mount up.
Let's get that idiot
out of there before he
regains the sense of
something we all regret.
Who are you?
This is in Spain, though, Alejandro.
Be careful when you learn it the hard way.
In four months, I have come my tenant and
convinced him to return to the farm.
I'm very happy for you.
With the promise that his livestock will
be safe from scavengers.
I wouldn't make such promises to you.
Because you can't.
But I can.
In a case, the colonel has forgotten.
Remind him that he is a soldier.
He's the military governor.
A public servant who functions Capitan at
the pleasure of the dawns.
It looks good kill.
Capitan.
You make one hell of a soldier.
An idea here's better blossom soon,
Colonel.
Because the next time he talks to me like
that, you're gonna kill him.
I understand how you feel, Capitan.
You do?
I cannot afford to be challenged in
public.
It threatens to undo the natural balance.
Moments like this, I intend to put a
bullet in him myself.
You see, now we're making progress.
But I did not get where I am today by
giving it a certain impulse.
Especially when we have Don Alejandro
snapping at our heels.
So, you had a game with you absolutely
nothing.
Grisham, you were just in arguing with Don
Alejandro.
Where he to turn up dead.
I know.
Well, fingers will point to me.
Now, might I suggest you make yourself
useful on another front?
Sir.
I was starting to think you forgot me.
It's all about appearances, my friend.
If I let you escape any earlier,
I'll make this look pretty bad.
Not so fast.
Keep your mouth shut about our
arrangement.
Relax, Grisham.
Now, we'll tell us so.
No.
Certainly, what would happen?
Just
keep getting better.
I
am reluctant to put too much stock in the
word of hardened criminal.
Even though he confessed on his deathbed,
that certainly comes for something.
But to slander the character of Samuso
powerfully in our community.
Colonel Montoya.
Right now, there's no one more power for
in this community than me.
If you know who murdered my brother,
tell me now.
Or I will see to it that you face a cot
marshal.
Bring it to me.
We have obtained a confession from the
band that you tried to kill you.
And?
He was sent by the same man who ordered
your brother's death.
Colonel Montoya, do I have to reach down
your throat and drag it out of you?
Alas, you leave me no choice.
Get your hands off me.
I'll tell you.
Get up.
I'll kill you for that.
At the day.
I'll be done.
I found this here in the hay.
Come here.
Well, well, well, show it to his Highness.
And how do you explain that?
I have never seen it before.
What is this about?
Murder?
You stand accused of the murder of Don
Rafael Alvarado.
Are you insane?
Why were they cute?
Apparently, there was a dispute of some
motor rights.
I do not know the details.
I'm worried this don't record.
I have sent my man to bring him in.
They will be here soon.
And then perhaps we can sort this matter
out.
What's up for all?
If you are a gentleman, we will back it up
with your honor.
I thought you'd never ask, huh?
That'll cost you.
I've never said I was a gentleman.
Back him up.
It looks like my father soared.
Yes.
Where did you find it?
Did you know he was wearing it the day he
died?
How would I know that?
I was in Spain with my uncle.
What's this about?
Be patient.
Let the captain finish.
Did your father ever mention anything
about water rights?
Dispute, maybe?
And one of his letters, yes.
I'll ask you again, Captain.
Where did you find my father's sword?
I'll ask you another killer.
Tessa, we found the man who murdered your
father.
Uncle, I've been thinking.
Of Madrid, I bet.
You know, the court is going to be
enchanted by your beauty.
Why, just before I
left the market, if you
understood the court,
you didn't worry about you.
Then you must send my regards.
Why not send them to him yourself?
Have you started packing yet?
It's true, I do miss Madrid.
The people, the parties, all my friends,
but my place is here.
Papa lived and worked.
Your devotion to your father's memory is a
noble thing, Tessa.
worthy of a gentleman.
I know you understand.
But you're a woman, a beautiful,
intelligent, and unmarried.
And Lord knows you'll never find a husband
in a place like this.
I am your closest living relative.
Your father's brother, and I represent his
will in these matters.
Am I to have no say in my future?
Tessa, no one loves you more than me.
But I know your father's mind.
I want you to live your heart's desire.
And that's why I love you.
Then it's settled.
Tomorrow I'll contact the donors and see
who wants to buy the FBI.
Then we'll be home in a couple of months.
I'll tell them how they'll start packing.
Wait to see the arrogant pig dangled from
the end of the rope.
Hell, you know, I'd like to tell them not
myself.
I want you to set him free.
Yeah, right.
Set one free.
Free from his body.
Free from life.
He must not be harmed.
Not one hair, do you understand?
Yeah, you're joking, right?
I have an occasion being known to have a
remarkable sense of humor.
But in this case, I'm deadly serious.
But we can pay a trial of
this importance would involve
three judges from Monterey
and the vice-ring himself.
Do you really think that
I would bring them all
the way over here with
only a sword, is evidence?
We would be laughed out of court.
No.
And we would don't regard out claiming
that a sword was planted.
Their attention would turn to me.
But why the hell that we could all this
trouble is framing?
He's just no wack.
We're gonna let him live.
We are not going to let him live.
We are just not going to be the ones who
kill him.
Don't record, though.
I am only thinking of you and your family.
But try like this could take months.
Who will look after you at the end?
Who will feed your
children while you are
locked up fighting for
liberty and who knows?
Perhaps for your life.
And in return for this, compassion,
you will receive what?
The water rights.
What's last 1000 acres and 2000 railies?
You do not worry you don't regard them.
I shall put them to good use.
As a servant of the people of course.
You are a real bastard, Monterey.
Perhaps.
But I am the bastard this side of the
bars.
I heard of your release.
I didn't expect you here.
Don't regard them.
Did you kill my father?
No, Dessa.
I swear on the soul of the blessed
version.
I had nothing to do with your father's
dad.
Then how do you explain the sword?
It was crafted by Jose Espindito.
The finest sword maker in Spain.
They are at least five just like it in the
hands of local dones.
I don't know if it belonged to your father
or not.
I promise.
Dessa, I never saw it before it turned up
in my stables.
I demand to know why you released this,
this murder!
I thought perhaps that your brother's
sword.
We could rise the confession out of you.
But we failed.
And the sword alone is not enough to
convict such a powerful gun.
That's ridiculous.
You have the confession of the bandit!
Well, as is dead and we cannot testify.
What about the water rights?
Don't Alejandro, I will continue the
investigation.
You and I both know that don't regard to
his guilty.
Perhaps something will turn up.
But if not, it will not be the first time.
And certainly, it will not be the last
that the guilty man will go for me.
No, no, no!
You will not go unpunished.
Not if I ever anything to do with it.
Don't let it cuddle!
Mother!
If you do not find me now to the death,
I did not kill your brother, Don Alejandro.
And I will not kill you.
If you refuse to die with honor,
I will shoot you down like a dog you are.
No, Uncle, don't.
Get out of the way, Tessa.
You do this.
He's unarmed.
This man murdered your father.
But he swore he didn't.
He lies.
I believe him.
From the beginning, you should not
interest him.
I mean, the man who murdered my brother.
Now this.
And you.
The law may not demand retribution that I
do.
His god is my witness.
I will kill you.
But I'm only trying to keep you from
making a terrible mistake.
You betray your father's memory.
You dishonor our family.
No, I promise.
No, Tessa.
You have no uncle.
And I have no miss.
Now that.
He's absolute perfection.
What are you talking about?
They were supposed to kill each other.
And senior he'd have a rattle gun in the
way, of course.
You really must develop a more positive
attribution.
This business of living under a dark cloud
is becoming a tyrosine.
You heard Donale Handel threatened on a
character.
Yes, so they'd have the town.
What could be more perfect?
Oh, I know.
How about one or both of them dead?
Just thrift start.
Imagine if you will.
The opera of tragedy.
Should Don Ricardo be murdered this very
night?
All eyes would turn to Donale Handel.
Donale be forced to arrest Donale.
Tragically, he resists arrest.
And doing self-defense?
I have no choice but to kill him.
You see?
Absolute perfection.
He's all the family I have left,
Marta.
I can't let him leave this way.
Maybe I should just tell him the truth and
get it over with.
Well, they're clean.
If you knew what I was doing, he'd be
proud of me.
He wouldn't hate me.
He doesn't hate you.
He's private swoonby.
He'll get the very things out.
Maybe I should end this game.
Go back home and be who I was before.
That's what you want.
Look at my life, Marta.
Pretending to be less than I am while those
peacocks start around in their uniforms.
Uncle thinks I should get married.
That's a laugh.
I'm tired.
I just want to be normal.
There you go, home.
Go back to my dream.
Back to your friends and the birthdays.
You need a man to get married.
That's not money.
Is that what you really want?
Sometimes.
But, not now.
So I should just let him go.
You're destined to come first.
Uncle's and husbands.
It's a good one.
Don't let her know, Marta.
I have no time.
I have to get to the harbor.
I've known you for a long time.
You're a good man.
But you're breaking that poor girl's
heart.
You're a woman.
You do not understand these things.
I understand you love this and she loves
you.
You miss me, baby brother, you know.
Tell me how to write.
To haunt.
I thought he was invisible.
You lost a brother, but she lost a father.
She will not bring him back.
Not there.
I have to do what I am on her bound to do.
I've been expecting you.
Good.
Now we can conclude our business.
With honor.
I find no honor in fighting with you,
Donna Leandro.
And killing you would be a tragedy.
And not killing you.
We'll be an even greater one.
Take your possessions and wait for my
signal.
Let's get a little chance to do some
damage to him.
So, this is how your mother, my brother,
huh?
You sneak up behind him and stop him in
the back.
It's not so easy, is it?
When you're an opponent, he's facing you.
I have never killed anyone in my life.
But today, you'll make me a bird.
Be careful.
Who sent you?
I won't let you die.
There you go.
Whoever you are, I'll find you.
How's the bleeding?
I'll be fine once we get him to Dr. Helm.
I can't believe he saved my life.
He's a good man.
Who had nothing to do with your brother's
death?
I believe you.
Let him go.
How can I return to a Spain without
justice?
One day there won't be justice.
I promise.
Never alone.
My little angel, she will see just this is
done.
What is this?
Don't act stupid, Colonel.
You know damn well what it is.
And how it came into my hands.
There are fifty such swords in this town.
And they all belong to your men.
And your point is?
Even if it's not enough to convict someone
of the attempted murder of a dawn,
it would certainly lead to an inquiry.
And we both know how inquiries can get out
of control.
Let me guess.
You want your property back?
Very thorough, Coronella.
You've already thought of everything.
As a servant of the people, I try to stay
one step ahead of events.
A word of advice.
The lead bow may be early to feed,
but he's also first to the slaughter.
Not if he is smarter than the butcher.
That's a I don't
know how to apologize.
No apologies are necessary.
No.
I said some terrible things.
I hope you understand me.
We said in anger.
I didn't mean any of them.
Please forgive me.
Take my forgiveness and my love back to
Spain with you.
I wish your father could have seen you
standing between Ricardo and me.
How brave you were.
How strong.
Your honor is memory.
And you honor me.
Don't with God, uncle.
And you, Maria Perez-Abrato.
Namos!
In your place, no!
It's done paying taxes!
Leave it!
Nice!
Up there!
Quickly!
No, it's dangerous.
The gentleman from Spain does not run from
danger.
Turn this carriage now.
See.
Drop your soul until you die.
What kind of land breeds women like you
are?
Drop your weapon.
Let that man go.
Now.
What's this?
What does it look like?
I bought it.
You're getting sloppy.
I didn't think Uncle Alejandro would try
to kill me.
I'm
so glad you're here.
You look so much like your mother.
It brings tears to my eyes.
What did you tell me you were coming?
I couldn't prepare the Essienda for you.
Well, I sent you a little months ago.
Well, no doubt the male delivery in the
colony is terrible.
But that's her.
You've now settled your father's affairs.
Why are you still in this part about it
place, huh?
Well, California is in Spain.
But it has its own charm.
Charm.
No.
Just a few miles down the road.
I witnessed who his majesty soldiers being
brutally attacked and by a female bandit.
Oh, the queen of swords.
Well, she's not It doesn't matter who
she is.
The colony is no place for a woman if
you're bleeding.
Uncle, you remember Martyr, right?
Split to see you again, but at hander.
And Martyr, you're looking fit,
huh?
Yeah.
Give this to the driver and see that my
bags get inside her.
Thank you.
I missed you so much.
This will not do a tall copy dance.
It's just a goat and a couple of sheep.
It's a big deal.
It is the principal.
Twenty reality today.
Fifty reality tomorrow.
The woman is like a plague.
Speaking of plagues.
Dad.
Colonel, what's my up?
Don't record, though.
I understand there has been an unfortunate
incident.
How dare you send soldiers onto my land
and arrest my farmers?
I regret that there has been some
misunderstanding.
There is no misunderstanding, Colonel.
A tenant's first obligation is to is done.
Maybe back in Spain.
But this is the new world.
I don't believe I was addressing you,
Capitan.
When you attack my people, you attack me.
In the future, keep your dog on his leash.
Does the what?
All that takes me.
Nothing to you.
Even authorities.
I would change his attitude real fast.
I wish him.
I can always count on you for the obvious.
If you get a better idea, let's hear it.
Hey, she's
patience.
Good ideas are like flowers.
They've lost them in their own time.
And meanwhile, you've got a small scale
revolution on your hands.
Don't worry.
Soon I will read myself a ton of regard,
though.
Don't profit from it as well.
Wow, that sounds great.
In theory.
Those who stand by me, shall I share in my
good fortune?
Those who don't.
Well, let us not talk such things before
lunch.
To a good brother and a fine father who's
sorely missed.
Yes, he is.
You know, your father asked me to look
after you as if you were my own daughter.
And so you had.
And so I will continue.
Uncle, you still haven't told me what
brought you halfway around the world.
Oh, there's plenty of time to talk about
that later.
Right now, let's talk of more pleasant
things, huh?
You're present.
I think you're going to like it.
I'm sure I will.
But to leave the comfort
of Madrid and come to
a place so primitive,
let's be very important.
Well, let's just say it's men's business.

A true lady of the house does not pester
or cast in such a manner, right?
I'm sorry.
I'm in no offense.
Ah.
Is this it?
Thank you.
Now, I found this on one of my trips.
She's beautiful.
Let's mark that she's wearing a wedding
dress.
Perhaps soon, I will see you.
Can you stop the dress, eh?
Thank you.
Perhaps soon, I'll know the real reason
why you're here.
You're investigating your brother's death.
There is a rumour circulating court of a
Spain.
That he was murdered.
Now, rumours, yes.
Stuffing the ears of men with false
reports.
With all the respect, Colin, that is what
I plan to find out.
Indeed.
What do you say, vision?
investigated the accident earlier,
sir.
As we would, the death of any don.
And we found absolutely no evidence
whatsoever any wrongdoing.
What about witnesses?
None came forward, sir.
It's not a report, as usual.
So, there you have it.
I'm afraid you've come all this way for
nothing tonight, Hunter.
I know he's trying to do the right thing,
but he has no idea what is taken on here.
Oh, who he's dealing with?
This is his name.
He's always been so headstrong.
I don't think you can protect him without
exposing the queen.
I just don't want him to get hurt because
he has the wrong people to write questions.
What if he actually finds out the truth
before I do?
And he may suffer the same fate as your
father.
I would like to help, but my resources are
limited.
How could I justify
jeopardizing the safety of this
community to help you to
pursue what a phantom?
I would be in their election of my duty.
Your duty is to me, Colin L.
Really?
Your orders.
Signed by the vice-president, sir.
You are a man of influence, Donale Handel.
The vice-president expects your full
cooperation.
We shall do a secret, man's.
See that Donale Handel has everything he
needs.
I'll leave now, stand and turn.
But you must understand.
We found no evidence of the sight of the
alleged crime.
Understood.
And if there were witnesses, surely they
would have come forward for now.
I'd like these, put up around town.
1,000 gold rallies.
At a ward of this sight,
it should bring even
the most reluctant
slug from under his rock.
It is a fortune many men will kill for.
Is the golden safe place?
I have 100 realities with me.
The rest will be sent from Spain when the
killer has been convicted.
And how?
Would you well be shopping or something?
You think this is funny?
The fool has just signed his own death
warrant.
I'll really, because, you know,
I thought he just signed ours.
Think about it.
When our local band is learned
that he is carrying 100 pieces
of gold, we're falling all
over themselves to steal it.
And who knows?
Tragically, he might even be given the
attempt.
What is it?
I was thinking about that doll.
One thing about Uncle Alejandro would
never be accused of being subtle.
Think he's kind of nice.
If you're living here as a single human.
Can you imagine his reaction if he found
out what I do in my spare time?
He books you up and she debate to a
combat.
He idolized my bond.
I think it broke his heart when his big
brother laughed.
And now he's trying to finish us.
So they don't prove to be too big.
Someone's coming.
He wants to meet me in the morning.
He has some information about your
father's death.
You're not going.
Of course I'm going.
This is what I've been waiting for.
Then I'm coming with you.
No.
Much too dangerous.
Your father would never permit it and
neither will I.
Dangerous for me and not for you.
He was your father.
But he was also my brother.
My older, wiser and stronger brother.
The world praised him.
But he raised me.
I know how much you loved him.
The best of what I am.
It's because of him.
He would face the moment.
And so will I.
Please.
I don't understand.
I have a chance to find out the truth
about your father's death.
And you act as if you don't want to know.
What if this is trap?
What if it's the assassin?
All the better.
I would be glad that the chance to stare
my brother's killer in there.
I beg you.
Don't go.
Yes, sir.
Are you your father's daughter?
About.
You have information for me?
About the murder of Senior Laborado.
Yes.
So it was murder.
Did you bring the money?
First, the information.
You expect me to trust you?
And don't let me under our brado.
I might have won her.
Then we have nothing in common.
Senior.
Come on, just kill him.
Get that out of there.
Mount up.
Let's get that idiot
out of there before he
regains the sense of
something we all regret.
Who are you?
This is in Spain, though, Alejandro.
Be careful when you learn it the hard way.
In four months, I have come my tenant and
convinced him to return to the farm.
I'm very happy for you.
With the promise that his livestock will
be safe from scavengers.
I wouldn't make such promises to you.
Because you can't.
But I can.
In a case, the colonel has forgotten.
Remind him that he is a soldier.
He's the military governor.
A public servant who functions Capitan at
the pleasure of the dawns.
It looks good kill.
Capitan.
You make one hell of a soldier.
An idea here's better blossom soon,
Colonel.
Because the next time he talks to me like
that, you're gonna kill him.
I understand how you feel, Capitan.
You do?
I cannot afford to be challenged in
public.
It threatens to undo the natural balance.
Moments like this, I intend to put a
bullet in him myself.
You see, now we're making progress.
But I did not get where I am today by
giving it a certain impulse.
Especially when we have Don Alejandro
snapping at our heels.
So, you had a game with you absolutely
nothing.
Grisham, you were just in arguing with Don
Alejandro.
Where he to turn up dead.
I know.
Well, fingers will point to me.
Now, might I suggest you make yourself
useful on another front?
Sir.
I was starting to think you forgot me.
It's all about appearances, my friend.
If I let you escape any earlier,
I'll make this look pretty bad.
Not so fast.
Keep your mouth shut about our
arrangement.
Relax, Grisham.
Now, we'll tell us so.
No.
Certainly, what would happen?
Just
keep getting better.
I
am reluctant to put too much stock in the
word of hardened criminal.
Even though he confessed on his deathbed,
that certainly comes for something.
But to slander the character of Samuso
powerfully in our community.
Colonel Montoya.
Right now, there's no one more power for
in this community than me.
If you know who murdered my brother,
tell me now.
Or I will see to it that you face a cot
marshal.
Bring it to me.
We have obtained a confession from the
band that you tried to kill you.
And?
He was sent by the same man who ordered
your brother's death.
Colonel Montoya, do I have to reach down
your throat and drag it out of you?
Alas, you leave me no choice.
Get your hands off me.
I'll tell you.
Get up.
I'll kill you for that.
At the day.
I'll be done.
I found this here in the hay.
Come here.
Well, well, well, show it to his Highness.
And how do you explain that?
I have never seen it before.
What is this about?
Murder?
You stand accused of the murder of Don
Rafael Alvarado.
Are you insane?
Why were they cute?
Apparently, there was a dispute of some
motor rights.
I do not know the details.
I'm worried this don't record.
I have sent my man to bring him in.
They will be here soon.
And then perhaps we can sort this matter
out.
What's up for all?
If you are a gentleman, we will back it up
with your honor.
I thought you'd never ask, huh?
That'll cost you.
I've never said I was a gentleman.
Back him up.
It looks like my father soared.
Yes.
Where did you find it?
Did you know he was wearing it the day he
died?
How would I know that?
I was in Spain with my uncle.
What's this about?
Be patient.
Let the captain finish.
Did your father ever mention anything
about water rights?
Dispute, maybe?
And one of his letters, yes.
I'll ask you again, Captain.
Where did you find my father's sword?
I'll ask you another killer.
Tessa, we found the man who murdered your
father.
Uncle, I've been thinking.
Of Madrid, I bet.
You know, the court is going to be
enchanted by your beauty.
Why, just before I
left the market, if you
understood the court,
you didn't worry about you.
Then you must send my regards.
Why not send them to him yourself?
Have you started packing yet?
It's true, I do miss Madrid.
The people, the parties, all my friends,
but my place is here.
Papa lived and worked.
Your devotion to your father's memory is a
noble thing, Tessa.
worthy of a gentleman.
I know you understand.
But you're a woman, a beautiful,
intelligent, and unmarried.
And Lord knows you'll never find a husband
in a place like this.
I am your closest living relative.
Your father's brother, and I represent his
will in these matters.
Am I to have no say in my future?
Tessa, no one loves you more than me.
But I know your father's mind.
I want you to live your heart's desire.
And that's why I love you.
Then it's settled.
Tomorrow I'll contact the donors and see
who wants to buy the FBI.
Then we'll be home in a couple of months.
I'll tell them how they'll start packing.
Wait to see the arrogant pig dangled from
the end of the rope.
Hell, you know, I'd like to tell them not
myself.
I want you to set him free.
Yeah, right.
Set one free.
Free from his body.
Free from life.
He must not be harmed.
Not one hair, do you understand?
Yeah, you're joking, right?
I have an occasion being known to have a
remarkable sense of humor.
But in this case, I'm deadly serious.
But we can pay a trial of
this importance would involve
three judges from Monterey
and the vice-ring himself.
Do you really think that
I would bring them all
the way over here with
only a sword, is evidence?
We would be laughed out of court.
No.
And we would don't regard out claiming
that a sword was planted.
Their attention would turn to me.
But why the hell that we could all this
trouble is framing?
He's just no wack.
We're gonna let him live.
We are not going to let him live.
We are just not going to be the ones who
kill him.
Don't record, though.
I am only thinking of you and your family.
But try like this could take months.
Who will look after you at the end?
Who will feed your
children while you are
locked up fighting for
liberty and who knows?
Perhaps for your life.
And in return for this, compassion,
you will receive what?
The water rights.
What's last 1000 acres and 2000 railies?
You do not worry you don't regard them.
I shall put them to good use.
As a servant of the people of course.
You are a real bastard, Monterey.
Perhaps.
But I am the bastard this side of the
bars.
I heard of your release.
I didn't expect you here.
Don't regard them.
Did you kill my father?
No, Dessa.
I swear on the soul of the blessed
version.
I had nothing to do with your father's
dad.
Then how do you explain the sword?
It was crafted by Jose Espindito.
The finest sword maker in Spain.
They are at least five just like it in the
hands of local dones.
I don't know if it belonged to your father
or not.
I promise.
Dessa, I never saw it before it turned up
in my stables.
I demand to know why you released this,
this murder!
I thought perhaps that your brother's
sword.
We could rise the confession out of you.
But we failed.
And the sword alone is not enough to
convict such a powerful gun.
That's ridiculous.
You have the confession of the bandit!
Well, as is dead and we cannot testify.
What about the water rights?
Don't Alejandro, I will continue the
investigation.
You and I both know that don't regard to
his guilty.
Perhaps something will turn up.
But if not, it will not be the first time.
And certainly, it will not be the last
that the guilty man will go for me.
No, no, no!
You will not go unpunished.
Not if I ever anything to do with it.
Don't let it cuddle!
Mother!
If you do not find me now to the death,
I did not kill your brother, Don Alejandro.
And I will not kill you.
If you refuse to die with honor,
I will shoot you down like a dog you are.
No, Uncle, don't.
Get out of the way, Tessa.
You do this.
He's unarmed.
This man murdered your father.
But he swore he didn't.
He lies.
I believe him.
From the beginning, you should not
interest him.
I mean, the man who murdered my brother.
Now this.
And you.
The law may not demand retribution that I
do.
His god is my witness.
I will kill you.
But I'm only trying to keep you from
making a terrible mistake.
You betray your father's memory.
You dishonor our family.
No, I promise.
No, Tessa.
You have no uncle.
And I have no miss.
Now that.
He's absolute perfection.
What are you talking about?
They were supposed to kill each other.
And senior he'd have a rattle gun in the
way, of course.
You really must develop a more positive
attribution.
This business of living under a dark cloud
is becoming a tyrosine.
You heard Donale Handel threatened on a
character.
Yes, so they'd have the town.
What could be more perfect?
Oh, I know.
How about one or both of them dead?
Just thrift start.
Imagine if you will.
The opera of tragedy.
Should Don Ricardo be murdered this very
night?
All eyes would turn to Donale Handel.
Donale be forced to arrest Donale.
Tragically, he resists arrest.
And doing self-defense?
I have no choice but to kill him.
You see?
Absolute perfection.
He's all the family I have left,
Marta.
I can't let him leave this way.
Maybe I should just tell him the truth and
get it over with.
Well, they're clean.
If you knew what I was doing, he'd be
proud of me.
He wouldn't hate me.
He doesn't hate you.
He's private swoonby.
He'll get the very things out.
Maybe I should end this game.
Go back home and be who I was before.
That's what you want.
Look at my life, Marta.
Pretending to be less than I am while those
peacocks start around in their uniforms.
Uncle thinks I should get married.
That's a laugh.
I'm tired.
I just want to be normal.
There you go, home.
Go back to my dream.
Back to your friends and the birthdays.
You need a man to get married.
That's not money.
Is that what you really want?
Sometimes.
But, not now.
So I should just let him go.
You're destined to come first.
Uncle's and husbands.
It's a good one.
Don't let her know, Marta.
I have no time.
I have to get to the harbor.
I've known you for a long time.
You're a good man.
But you're breaking that poor girl's
heart.
You're a woman.
You do not understand these things.
I understand you love this and she loves
you.
You miss me, baby brother, you know.
Tell me how to write.
To haunt.
I thought he was invisible.
You lost a brother, but she lost a father.
She will not bring him back.
Not there.
I have to do what I am on her bound to do.
I've been expecting you.
Good.
Now we can conclude our business.
With honor.
I find no honor in fighting with you,
Donna Leandro.
And killing you would be a tragedy.
And not killing you.
We'll be an even greater one.
Take your possessions and wait for my
signal.
Let's get a little chance to do some
damage to him.
So, this is how your mother, my brother,
huh?
You sneak up behind him and stop him in
the back.
It's not so easy, is it?
When you're an opponent, he's facing you.
I have never killed anyone in my life.
But today, you'll make me a bird.
Be careful.
Who sent you?
I won't let you die.
There you go.
Whoever you are, I'll find you.
How's the bleeding?
I'll be fine once we get him to Dr. Helm.
I can't believe he saved my life.
He's a good man.
Who had nothing to do with your brother's
death?
I believe you.
Let him go.
How can I return to a Spain without
justice?
One day there won't be justice.
I promise.
Never alone.
My little angel, she will see just this is
done.
What is this?
Don't act stupid, Colonel.
You know damn well what it is.
And how it came into my hands.
There are fifty such swords in this town.
And they all belong to your men.
And your point is?
Even if it's not enough to convict someone
of the attempted murder of a dawn,
it would certainly lead to an inquiry.
And we both know how inquiries can get out
of control.
Let me guess.
You want your property back?
Very thorough, Coronella.
You've already thought of everything.
As a servant of the people, I try to stay
one step ahead of events.
A word of advice.
The lead bow may be early to feed,
but he's also first to the slaughter.
Not if he is smarter than the butcher.
That's a I don't
know how to apologize.
No apologies are necessary.
No.
I said some terrible things.
I hope you understand me.
We said in anger.
I didn't mean any of them.
Please forgive me.
Take my forgiveness and my love back to
Spain with you.
I wish your father could have seen you
standing between Ricardo and me.
How brave you were.
How strong.
Your honor is memory.
And you honor me.
Don't with God, uncle.
And you, Maria Perez-Abrato.
Namos!
