We split up here.
You take the guns upriver.
I'll meet you in Delgado.
I'm glad to meet you.
Ah.
Woman, what are they looking at?
It's the first time they've seen a black man before.
Well, if they wait a while, they'll see this one turn into a chili bean.
I sure wish I had myself a fried steak.
Well, two or three times now, you could've killed me.
Sí. That is true.
- I need you. - What for?
Mira.
Those rifles, they are what keeps Joe here.
He is what keeps you here.
I want you to help us.
No, I won't do that.
Are you afraid?
Yeah. Yeah, I reckon I am.
Oh, not of being shot at. That's happened plenty before.
Lyedecker, if-
if you would join with us...
for just a little while...
I won't worry about YaquiJoe.
Afterwards, you can have him.
You ain't, uh, partial to him?
No.
I don't trust him. He's a bad man.
But he's smart...
and he's important for us now.
Nothing else?
No.
Nothing.
No deals. I'm gonna take him back, and there ain't gonna be no deals.
We got problems. Verdugo's about one mile behind us, but I don't think he saw us.
Get the rifles. Let's get out of here.
Vámonos.!
Adios.
Gracias, kid.
Keep goin'!
Go on.!
Sargento.! - Mi general.
Collect all the children and take them to the rancho.
With the general's permission, the time might be better spent collecting the rifles.
Von Klemme, I'm gonna tell you something once and for all...
and let it be a lesson for your future.
I never do anything without a purpose, and remember that.
Humara.
Los ninos. Los ninos. El rancho.
Yaqui.
The children.
They've taken all of the children...
and holding them for the rifles.
They're holding 'em for us too, you can bet.
Well, we have to go back.
Look, Sarita, I think we ought to go on to Romero...
give 'em the guns, and get some more men, huh?
No. We have to get those children.
We will.
We'd better make this quick and quiet.
Shh!
Well, I wonder if he died ready for it.
Get them kids out of here!
Hey, big fella. How you doin', man?
Where's Joe?
Where's the whiskey?
I guess you never can tell where they might go to drink, huh?
Don't-Don't shoot, Lyedecker.!
For God's sake, don't shoot!
- I didn't know it was you. - Obviously!
Hey, Joe, look what I found.
Hey, Big Ben.
You ain't still thinking about taking me to Phoenix with you, are ya?
You'd better believe it, hombre.
Well, you're a stubborn, son of a-
Damn.
Well, what's you gonna do with him?
Well, uh, whatever's customary and whatever you think is right.
I'll-I'll be glad to take care of him for you.
Lyedecker, this is silly. There's no need for-
Keep him alive. We might be able to use him later.
I'll do it.
Didn't turn out to be much, did it?
Hmm?
Pretty fancy, huh?
For me?
Too fancy for me?
She had one like it when my father worked here a long time ago.
She's dead now-
Verdugo's wife.
I always wanted one like it.
It looks like you were born for it.
It's a lie. But you're a pretty good man after all, Lyedecker.
I guess I know that.
I know what I am. I don't have to go looking for it.
Then why are you a policeman?
It's a job. Everybody has to do something.
What the job is ain't important. It's how you do it.
Are you good at what you do?
Well, it ain't much different than the cavalry. I do the best I can.
Well, that is a hard thing to do.
For all the bad things I have said to you...
I give you this.
No. No! No!
No! No! Please, not like this!
Not with you.
Viva Lyedecker!
: Viva Lyedecker.!
Lyedecker.
He died yesterday.
Ah, sí. The black gringo. We have heard of you.
Buenos días, mi general.
Good day for travelin', and we're gonna travel.
Hey. What is this stuff?
What is this "mi general"?
- You mean you don't know? - No, I don't know.
Well, it seems that you have been elected the new general.
I ain't no damn general. That's just-
That's the dumbest- That's just plumb crazy! Come on!
Buenos días, general.
Look, you tell them to get out of here.
Tell them I don't want 'em following me.
Tell 'em to go away.
Tell 'em I ain't no general.
Not for no bad-ass Indians. Not for nobody.
You tell 'em.
It looks to me like...
you're back in the cavalry business...
mi general.
I'm sure the rifles are somewhere up there.
I can promise you that, with Romero.
No.
If he gets the guns and the ammunition...
he will probably come down that mountain, and we'll have war.
I know Romero. He's a dying tiger.
He wouldn't come downhill with an army of 10,000 cannons.
No.
Lyedecker is the one.
I want his head on a stick in the middle of the plaza for everyone to see.
Lyedecker and the others.
Sir, I personally think we ought to be going after Romero.
Now, listen to me, Von Klemme.
I know Romero. I know these mountains.
I know my country, and you don't!
So shut up. Shut up and follow my orders.
I want Lyedecker.
- Buenos noches, mi general. - Buenos noches, mi general.
Buenos noches, mi general.
Lyedecker?
Oh. Your supper is almost ready.
- Tortillas? - No.
Look what I found. You said fried steak.
Is that, um, the way it is?
If that's the way you want it.
No. Let me get that.
Here?
Lyedecker, you are my man.
You know, you gotta be, uh, careful about a thing like that.
I don't have to be careful.
I am your woman for as long as you want it.
Do you want me?
What does Verdugo use that train for?
- What are you going to do? - Answer the question.
Now, look, you can't be-
You're not going to wreck the train?
In one minute, I'm gonna pinch off your head...
and mail it back to the home office.
The train carries troops and supplies from Nogales to Hermosillo.
It's well-guarded.
Does it make any stops along the way?
No.
- No stops. - There is a water tower...
in the plano, the flat part.
He stops there.
Now, look, you're not going to wreck the train.
We'll talk about it in the morning.
Lyedecker-
God! Dear God!
He ain't gonna help you.
: Hey, muchachos.!
Una muchacha!
No, no, no, no.
He ain't here.
Well, must be he didn't make the trip then...
'cause I've been watchin' this car all the time.
- How many did we lose? - I don't know for sure.
Hey. You did a real fine job.
You seen Grimes?
No.
Last time I saw him, we were diggin' in.
I saw him. He had a horse.
I guarantee you, he's almost to Nogales by now.
What the hell are we gonna do now?
Load the train up. We're still goin' in.
- Uh, hello. Buenos días. - Buenos días.
Verdugo aquí?
Well, is he here?
Grimes, I should have you shot.
What are you trying to do, become an adventurer?
Well, that's good, because the role does not suit you.
Tell me, Mr. Grimes...
how did you happen to be with them in the first place?
I was taken at the point of a gun. I was a prisoner.
- For so long? - All right.
He did return... finally.
- You escaped, huh? - Yes.
Uh-huh.
They're going to attack the town.
Really?
- How? - They've taken the train.
Are you sure? You saw it?
I heard the plans.
- There was nothing I could do. - Of course not.
Look. Let them come in.
And after they've gotten off the train...
we can catch them in the streets.
Mr. Grimes, that would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.
First, you have them nicely trapped on the train...
and then you allow them to get into the streets and houses?
Grimes...
your train will be a small sacrifice to our cause.
- Go check up there- the machine gun. - Yes, sir.
Alto.!
: Fuego.!
Sarita!
We did all right, didn't we?
Yeah, I guess we did.
I mean, we won, didn't we?
Well.
We won, huh?
Yep.
I think I can put the train back into running order. I thought you'd like to know that.
It'll take time, and I'll need men for the labor.
Yeah.
It's important that, uh...
we know where we stand, huh?
What the hell for?
Well, look out there.
You're their leader now.
You should think about that.
- I ain't no dadgum such thing. - They think you are.
They do?
This place is yours, and you have an army.
With them, you can control the entire area for good or bad.
You're ready to say no to that?
Damn right I am.
Oh, no, you're not.
A man like you...
with your intelligence?
The whole state can be yours. All of Sonora.
- No. Hell, no. - You have to.
The choice isn't yours. The decision's been taken out of your hands.
Do you know what'll happen if you walk away from all this? There'll be anarchy.
- What- - These people-
Your people, they'll drift apart without a leader.
And then another general will come from Mexico City...
with another army, and these streets'll run with blood again.
You'll need to move men and supplies. You'll need the railroad.
I'm sure we can come to an understanding.
Lyedecker!
- Hey, you ain't leavin' are you? - Yep.
You can't do that. I mean, I ain't goin' with ya.
What are you gonna tell 'em? What are you gonna say?
Well, I'll tell 'em I just didn't bring you back, Joe.
Of course, they'll be able to see that for themselves anyway, won't they?
Yeah, but you're the leader. I mean, if you go, there could be anarchy.
There could be blood in the streets.
Look, Joe, they'll follow you now.
In fact, it could be a good deal for you.
Yeah, but, Lyedecker, what do you got to go back to?
You came down here with nothin', not even a job permanent.
- After all them years, nothin'. - Yeah, I thought about that.
You did? What'd you think?
I thought I oughta go back and give it one more shot.
Lyedecker, maybe I oughta go back with ya.
You don't wanna do that, Joe.
You belong here, and I belong up north.
Like I said, I wanna give it that one more shot.
And, Joe, good luck, amigo.
All right, dadgumit, let's get this dadgum army together!
All right! All right!
