Listen, shorty...
lndio and his band have just robbed the bank here in town.
Now why don't you just sit down and send out the alarm to El Paso...
and the rest of the towns around here and warn 'em, right?
But, mister, l didn't hear any shots at the bank, and l sure would have.
You might hear one.
The alarm.
Easy now.
They've robbed the bank at Santa Cruz!
Follow me!
Groggy, the telegraph wires.
- Good day, gentlemen. - Good day, sir.
- Sir. - Good afternoon.
The other side.
Eleven...
twelve...
Fourteen...
Let's go!
What are you doin' here? You're not runnin' away, are you?
No, l'm not running away.
l'm going after them and l'm going alone. Our partnership is dissolved.
Boy, let's wait and talk it over.
All we've done is talk. l've been reasonable with no results.
Now take it easy. We only knew the Santa Cruz part of this plan.
You were the one who had their strategy all worked out.
- Now l'm gonna meet lndio. - l see. l better go along.
l'm going alone-- Me.
l have an appointment with lndio and l'm not gonna let anyone interfere.
- You certain about that? - That's right.
ln that case l'm sorry.
That's not bad. lndio sent four men to Santa Cruz.
And one man returns-- a new man without a scratch.
Mm-mm. lndio's no idiot.
When you ride up to him and show him that little nick, he might believe you.
And don't forget, that as of today...
the whole gang's worth $40,000 more.
That's the reward offered by the bank to get the money back.
- ls the partnership operating again? - Just how do you figure?
Try to convince lndio to go north, and then go along the Rio Bravo.
lt's a good spot for an ambush and we can get him between two fires.
You on the outside, me on the inside, right?
North?
North.
Hughie.
Wait a minute. We need time to open it and this isn't the right place.
And the others?
Dead?
After Santa Cruz, we headed for El Paso and they hit us from all sides.
And you just saved your own skin, isn't that right, you yellow--
You did your part of it. Let's go.
Which way we headed?
North.
North? Along Rio Bravo canyon?
Why not?
Seems like a good place for an ambush to me.
You know a better way to go?
Yeah, south.
Ride to the border?
They'll never expect you to cross the border now that the alarm's been sent.
Think we'll head east.
There's a place l know about, Agua Caliente.
Here we are. That's Agua Caliente.
Yes, l have many friends here.
lt looks just like a morgue.
But look out.
lt could be one so easily.
- They don't like strangers. - No, they don't like anybody.
Wild, you never saw our friend here shoot, right?
Did any of you?
We don't know how you'd be in emergencies.
l was thinking, this is the right place.
l got a way you can show the men.
How's that?
Go into town alone, amigo.
Bravo.
Do you mind tellin' me how you got here?
l just reasoned it out.
l figured you'd tell lndio...
to do just exactly the opposite of what we agreed...
and he's suspicious enough to figure out somethin' else.
Since El Paso was out of the question, well, here l am.
Rum-- a double.
Tequila for all of us.
lf it isn't the smoker.
Remember me, amigo?
Of course you do. El Paso.
lt's a small world.
Yes, and very, very bad.
Now, come on. You light another match.
l generally smoke just after l eat. Come back in ten minutes.
Ten minutes you'll be smoking in hell. Get up!
Stay calm.
On your feet.
Cucillo.
Count to three.
One...
two...
three!
Stop it!
Who are you?
l'm the one who can open the safe for you.
What safe, senor?
The one from El Paso. You got there ahead of me.
- However-- - However?
Open that safe and you're gonna destroy half the bank notes.
l can open it without blowing it up.
What'll it cost?
Five thousand.
Two's all l'll pay you.
Five.
Keep your hands off it!
lt's easy to steal. The trouble is in keeping the loot.
Take it out.
Now every man in New Mexico is after us.
lf they catch one of us with money we'll all end up the same way.
We're going to wait here for an entire month if l think it's necessary.
Then everybody will get his share.
And you will wait a month to get your money.
Naturally.
l'll be in the tavern.
The air around here stinks anyway, just like the food.
But the month will go fast.
Right here.
Let's go.
l was worried about you.
All alone with, uh, so many problems to solve.
lt's all right here.
Go ahead.
You shouldn't have shot the apples off that tree.
Put it on.
What's he doing now, this sheriff of El Paso?
Right now? Lookin' for the cash that was in the bank.
Right.
And suppose he finds the bodies of these men just outside El Paso...
with lots of money on them?
What will the sheriff think?
Well, he--
That's right.
Slim.
What is it, Nino?
A change of plans.
lndio wants you to--
lt's not loaded.
l think you should get out fast now.
Here's your guns without bullets.
Listen. Don't you let lndio find you both around.
l know you don't like questions, but why are you doing this?
How long have you known that Monco's a bounty killer?
l found out tonight. Why?
l knew he was one from the first moment he arrived.
The other one's also a bounty killer.
So l have an idea.
They'll be useful to us.
We'll try it.
Those men are a lot better than mine with a gun.
So we'll let all of them get mixed up in a gun battle.
But that won't really matter to me.
Or you.
Because we'll be far away, right?
And we'll have all the money.
Go on.
Go on and wake Cucillo.
Who did it?
Why don't you look at the knife?
lt's mine.
Then it shouldn't be there, should it?
But l didn't kill him. l didn't do it.
lt's difficult to prove that.
l am innocent.
One of your horses is outside.
Let's see if you can get to it.
He just killed Slim.
And he-- he helped those two bounty killers get away.
l want them back...
right now.
What are you doing here?
Go and get them back!
Those two bounty killers are sitting on our backs and must be killed right away.
We can't let 'em go free.
lt's done now.
Prepare to get out of here.
Here.
Hold it.
Not a bad idea.
But l'm one thing you forgot about.
Open it up now.
All right, come on now, open it.
Leave lndio to me.
All right.
Where in hell is it?
l'll kill 'em, but l'll rip out their guts first.
l have a plan.
What?
Let's just wait.
They'll be back here.
And this way, there'll be two of us.
Can they come back here? Your men could've killed them.
Who? They?
Are you sure of that? That they haven't?
l thought something different.
You made the boys ride on out to make sure they're both killed, and fast.
l'm not as dumb as the rest of them.
There was no help for it.
Go on.
That watch--
lt's been a long time that l wanted to ask.
l can see that it means a lot to you.
Why?
Listen to me!
This is Colonel Mortimer!
Douglas Mortimer!
Does the name mean anything to you?
When the chimes end, pick up your gun.
Try and shoot me, Colonel.
Just try.
Very careless of you, old man.
Try this.
Now we start.
Bravo.
There seems to be a family resemblance.
Here.
Naturally, between brother and sister.
My gun.
My boy...
you've become rich.
You mean we've become rich, old man.
No, it's all for you. l think you deserve it.
What about our partnership?
Maybe next time.
Ten thousand, twelve thousand...
fifteen...
sixteen...
seventeen...
twenty-two--
Twenty-seven.
Any trouble, boy?
No, old man.
Thought l was having trouble with my adding.
lt's all right now.
