They got water, William, but it ain't much.
Where do you get your water?
From traders.
From a village named Chinle.
Where is this Chinle?
Due east.
If that's true, Chinle would make a good base camp.
Tomas, you take some men, secure the village.
We're gonna forage this area for more supplies.
We'll see you there in a week.
Yes, sir.
Please, sir, leave us some water?
You won't be needing it.
Do it.
Where is he?
Where's William?
Why don't you set a date, Val?
My father's angry.
To him, your delay is an insult.
Luis, don't you want to see something of the world,
other than this valley?
It's just desert.
Goes on and on.
Time before, there was so much more.
Time before.
You're crazy grandfather and his tales.
If it was so wonderful,
then why'd they have to tear holes in the sky
and destroy all the cities?
Yeah, but the merchants that we trade with,
they speak of other places,
places bigger than Chinle. Traders just want to sound
more important than they really are.
Val, it's not what I want.
I know.
And I want to marry you, it's just that...
Just that what?
It's been over a year since I spoke for you.
Talk to you father.
He knows how I feel.
I will.
I promise.
Val, we have to face our responsibilities.
Come on, we better get back before we both get burned.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Look at them run!
Look at them go!
There they go!
Let's go, guys!
Yahoo!
- All right! - Secure the perimeter!
- Move over! - Go!
- Move over! - Let's go!
Move over!
Who's the leader here?
I'm Reynaldo, Chief of Chinle.
What is it you want of us?
We have heard that you have
an abundance supply of water here.
Is that true?
Why, yes, it comes from the spring
upon which our village was founded.
It's our most precious commodity.
You're more than welcome to help yourselves.
Well, Reynaldo, you and your people
should feel fortunate and honored,
for as of now, your village is under consideration
as the future headquarters of William's command!
And since it's quite obvious
that this village is quite defenseless,
we will remain here to provide protection
for you and your precious commodity until William arrives.
- Come here. - Oh!
No!
Samuel?
Samuel.
Let that be a warning to any one of you
who dares resist the force of William's command!
My condolences, sir.
Thank you.
Sorry.
What Samuel did was very brave.
He was a good soldier... Protected me from that scum
cost my brother's life.
We have to get rid of them!
Val, what can we do?
You saw what they... Need to fight!
We outnumber them at least 10-to-one.
They are warriors.
We are not.
I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to kill us all,
just like Samuel, if we try to go up against them.
Val, my father's right.
Our situation here is hopeless.
You're the hopeless case.
Look, you really shouldn't be so hard on Luis.
He means well.
Father, we've got to get some help.
From who?
- Where? - I don't know,
but we've got to!
Hey, go on, have some more.
Get back!
- Get back! - Come on, come on!
Come on, get back!
Get back, get away!
Where's your weapon, girl?
I haven't got one.
Oh.
Shouldn't be out here in the wilderness without a weapon.
Who are you?
Just a traveler.
My name's Michael.
Val.
Well, Val, where you come from?
Where you going?
I'm from Chinle.
I'm looking for help.
My village is being taken over by warriors
from William's army.
I want to find warriors that will come back and liberate us
and defend us against William.
When is William coming?
Well, the soldiers say in about one week's time.
Uh-huh.
Well, a lot of the warriors go to Freetown.
Been looking for service.
If I wanted to hire somebody, that's where I'd go.
Where is this place?
Just happens that's where I'm headed.
Come on.
Good.
Then you can help me find some warriors.
Look, there's nothing we can do.
All we have to do is just stay calm
and try not to antagonize them.
I've looked everywhere.
Where could she have gone?
I don't know anymore.
We can only hope for the best.
John, John, John, John, John,
John, John, John, John, John, John!
Are there any more challengers?!
John, John, John, John, John, John, John, John!
Does anyone dare challenge John?!
John, John, John, John, John!
Challenger?
Better keep your mind on the joust, kid.
Don't want to blow the scam.
John, John, John, John, John, John!
Take him out!
He's really good, isn't he?
Very first time I ever seen that.
Pay up time, guys!
Thank you.
Hey!
John Loa.
Ricardo.
Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?
The hell are you doing here?
I bet on you.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry about that.
Good match.
Listen, kid, if you're any kind of a man,
you'll give me a shot at winning
some of that back at the dice table.
If you can.
Ricardo, I need a drink, and he's buying.
Well, easy come, easy go, kid.
Should I go talk to them?
Well, that is what you came here for, right?
Ricardo, there's a tournament in Perrysburg next week.
You should go.
- Yeah, yeah. - Excuse me.
Hello.
Hi.
I'd like to talk to you about a job.
Hey, don't I know you guys?
I don't think so, pal.
You pulled that scam up in Brimfield.
Look, pal, I've never been to Brimfield.
Beat it, will ya?
You hoodwinked the whole town, including me.
Scammers, huh?!
Get out of here!
The soldiers say that William
will defend us against harm, but I don't believe them.
They killed my brother.
Please?
What kind of a favor do you owe them?
Well, we don't really have any money to speak of,
but we can feed you and shelter you.
Look, you seem like a nice girl,
and I'm sorry about your village,
but we're just passing through.
In fact, me and the kid here are gonna clean up
on that tournament in Perrysburg.
Yeah, but on our way back, we could stop...
That'll be too late.
William will already have taken the town.
You really think that three warriors
can stop William and his army?
Four.
There's four of us.
What?
Old man?
He helped out at the saloon.
It's not the same thing.
Wait!
We have water.
How much water?
An endless supply.
And if you help us, you can have as much of it as you want.
Well, it's like I was saying,
we can always go to Perrysburg.
These fine people need our help.
Thank you.
Michael.
How you doing, Miranda?
Surviving.
Those bastards tried to attack me.
What's going on?
This is Val.
She's from Chinle.
We're at her service in defensive of her village.
From who?
William.
I guess that gives you a good reason,
but what about them?
What are you talking about?
He didn't tell you?
It's ancient history.
It's got nothing to do with this.
Are you still looking for more fighters?
Yes.
Any village girl who has the guts to go off
and find men like this are somebody I can work for.
Here, take this just in case.
I've been spending a lot of time convincing the people
that having William's headquarters here is good for Chinle.
I hope you'll put in a good word for me when he arrives.
Why don't you take care of man Keith here?
Excuse me.
Have some more, come on.
Here.
Hey!
What was that?
Come on.
Go on, get out of here!
I don't know who you are, but when William gets here,
you're gonna be fucking dog food.
I can hardly wait.
You've gravely compromised our situation here
by returning with these ruffians, Val.
I have brought warriors that will fight to keep us free.
Warriors? Huh.
A surprise attack on a few soldiers
on an unguarded moment is one thing.
Do you expect them to be more than a moments delay
to William when he arrives with his army?
I thought you spoke for your people when you came for us.
There is still those who believe.
Luis, will you tell your bride-to-be
she's making a big mistake here?
I am not making a mistake!
Chinle has been free since the time of our grandfathers!
And I'm sure that there's still some of us
who want to keep it that way!
Yeah.
Listen to me, listen to me!
When William comes, he will kill these so-called warriors.
He will punish us for harboring them.
Is that what you want?
Then I say we get rid of them now!
Luis, aren't you going to help me?
I want to, Val, but...
If we surrender to William,
will you be able to defend me?!
Do you want to be forced to do their bidding?!
Will you still be able to love your wives
after they've been raped by these men?!
I say that it's better that we die free
than exist as slaves!
Chinle has never been the subject
of one man's rule before.
If we give into William, our council will be destroyed,
and we will have no voice in what happens to us.
We must fight!
Fight, we must fight!
- Fight, fight! - Fight, fight, fight!
Fight, fight, fight, yes, fight.
How can we fight?
You're farmers here, not fighters.
What do we know about fighting?
If you are willing to learn, we are willing to teach you.
This is not a rich community.
We could never afford such services.
Well, you all look like honorable men to me.
And once you see the value of our services,
I'm sure you'll make us a fair offer.
How say you, then?!
Yes!
Fight, fight!
- Fight! - Fight, I say fight!
The people have spoken.
For now.
That was an easy sell.
This is great.
Been a long time I've been soaked.
I was starting to feel crusty.
Ah, that's nice.
You know, my kid sister used to do that for me.
Where is she now?
Gone.
I'm sorry.
Miranda?
How did you become a warrior?
I was out hunting for berries when the raiders came.
I hid in the bushes.
It seemed like it went on forever.
Afterwards, they burned everything.
The smell.
I couldn't even identify my father and mother or my sister.
Some traders found me a few days later.
They took me with them to look after their needs.
It took me almost a year to get a chance to kill them.
After that, word got around,
and people mostly just left me alone.
I teamed up with another warrior, an older guy.
He taught me a lot.
He died fighting William.
I still carry his gun.
Sounds so hard.
It was.
And Michael?
I met him a few times over the years.
I know him mostly by reputation.
He's a loner like me.
Sometimes, I wish I could leave this place.
So go, but you have to let me teach you
what you need to know to survive out there.
Can't leave here.
I have responsibilities.
Then we just have to make sure to make Chinle
the kind of place you'd like to live
for the rest of your life.
Hey!
- Hey! - Go for it.
Go, Daniel, come on!
- Yes, come on! - Come on!
Yeah!
Way to go, Daniel!
Children, come here!
Come on! Come on!
Way to go, kid!
How's the work going?
Okay.
So that's the guy you're gonna marry?
Yes.
Why?
Well, he didn't give you much support
at that town meeting.
Well, sometimes, Luis can be a bit indecisive.
Doesn't mean anything.
Does he love you?
Yes.
Of course.
What about you?
Look, our marriage is gonna end the bad blood
between his family and my family.
You don't understand.
You're right, I don't understand.
If you were my girl,
I'd stand up and fight for you no matter what.
Good, fellas!
Yes!
Good.
Good. That's better.
If you learn to use these tools to defend yourselves,
a much better chance staying alive.
Let's try it again. Who's next?
How about me?
You don't have to do this.
It's all right.
Go ahead.
You sure?
All right.
- Ooh! - Ooh.
All right!
Oh!
- Not bad. - See?
Don't even really need the stick.
Luis, right?
Come up here.
Pull that sword on Dorian.
Come on, Luis, let's see what you're made of.
Come in and lunge at him.
Oh, hey!
Come on!
Hey!
Come on!
Get in there!
- Go Luis! - Hey!
Go, Luis!
- Oh, get up! - Get up, get up, get up!
He's got the sword, he's got the sword!
- Come on, Luis. - Go Luis!
You're not worth it, not now.
I think you blew it, kid.
No need to kill the chief's son.
No, I was just showing him how to fight!
No, you weren't.
You're gonna apologize to him too.
Luis, what's wrong?
What do you care?
Look, you think I don't know what's going on
between you and that Dorian?
There's nothing going on!
I'm not blind, Val.
At least be honest enough to admit
that you have doubts about us.
I know what my responsibilities are,
and I'm gonna marry you!
Words.
I'm beginning to regret the day
that I ever fell in love with you.
You're right.
Those damn warriors are nothing but trouble.
They'll ruin us if they stay.
Well, what made you come to your senses?
That damn Dorian,
made a fool of me in front of all the people.
I say to hell with the stupid training!
You know, I've been thinking about this
ever since they got here.
There's only one thing we can do.
What?
Get a message to William.
No, no, no.
Just feel.
Yeah, let's take a break for about whatever.
They certainly are hard workers.
Yeah, they're good farmers.
Terrible fighters.
Oh, I'm not worried about the villagers.
But you, John, I don't know.
You don't trust me?
Well, you're an excellent fighter,
but these villages need something more, though.
You're not concerned about these people.
Don't give a damn about this village.
You're just using them as an excuse for your revenge.
Redemption.
I'm interested in justice, not revenge.
Yeah, well, whatever you call it.
Well, what are you interested in, John?
Water?
The girl?
I heard Dorian messed up.
It was no big deal.
He was just having a little fun with Luis.
Well, I hope his fun doesn't get us killed.
I wouldn't worry about it.
When the fighting starts, Dorian will be just fine.
It's because of Val, isn't it?
It's pretty obvious he likes her, if that's what you mean.
What about you?
Why are you here?
For the water.
No, I mean, really.
I grew up fighting.
It's the only thing I really know how to do.
Wouldn't you like to put down your weapon some day
and live a quieter life?
There is no quieter life in this world.
You either fight or you get killed by those who do.
Well, maybe some day we'll find a better place, John.
Some day.
Luis.
Hey, listen, I'm sorry about what happened.
Sometimes, I get a little bit carried away.
I meant you no insult.
Just keep the hell away from Val.
Wake up!
Stupid farmers!
We should've left when they said they didn't want us.
Hell, nobody wants us.
That never stopped us before.
We should be in Perrysburg doing what we do best.
Do I detect a little jealousy, kid?
'Cause Val and the chief's son are getting married.
What about him?
What gives him the right to speak for us?
Who the hell does he think he is?
Ah, forget about him.
This ain't boy scout troop.
I don't care, I don't trust him, and neither should you.
I didn't say I trusted him.
We wouldn't want to blow a good thing here.
What do you mean?
Well, you want the girl, don't you?
Don't you?
Well, look, how many men can this William have?
30 or 40, right?
So you whack him, and you look like a hero.
Where does he fit in?
Haven't quite figured out the professor yet.
Miranda said he used to be a farmer with a wife and kids.
He don't look like no farmer to me.
Yeah, 10 years of fighting will do that to you.
William and his raiders killed Michael's family,
burned his farm.
He's been chasing him ever since.
Tell William they're many of us here
who want to be rid of those outlaws.
Here.
Thanks.
The prisoners are gone.
- What? - Someone must've let them out
during the night.
Where's Luis? I'm gonna find him.
Hold it. Hold it.
Accusing Luis whether he's guilty or not
is not gonna solve anything.
Issue now is time.
Got to get these defenses finished.
Get the others.
All right, grab that corner, up.
More sandbags over here.
Want some water?
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Come on!
What happened?
The villagers of Chinle have recruited mercenaries.
They snuck in, took us by surprise.
How many mercenaries?
Five.
Ha, only five?
They're good at what they do.
They took me and Jim prisoner, but we managed to escape.
It wasn't easy.
We had to get back to let you know.
Is there any water there?
Lots.
We're low on gasoline.
We have to wait for the convoy to get replenished.
You take some men and a few vehicles to Chinle,
and when I get there, I want to see five bodies
hanging from your gallows.
As good as done.
This gonna work?
Well, let's hope so.
We won't know until it happens.
Think we can depend on them when the fighting starts?
Well, I remember my first battle,
I didn't know who to trust, who to believe in,
so I just worried about myself.
Came out okay.
We won.
Fighting when you know what you're up against,
hell, I can handle that.
Something like this,
well, truth is, I've never been in a real battle before.
Never thought about being scared.
I just hope I'm up to it.
Every warrior I've ever known,
who was worth a damn, felt like that.
Take your time.
You'll be fine.
Nothing.
Maybe they're not coming.
I wouldn't count on that,
especially if Tomas told William we're here.
Dorian thinks that Luis let Tomas out.
What do you think?
I don't know.
I'm so confused.
So is Luis.
He thinks you're leaving him for Dorian.
Are you?
Miranda, someone's coming.
I count five.
Get back and warn the others.
They're coming!
Open the gate!
They're coming!
Open the gate!
Let's go, let's go!
There's five cars heading this way.
Five cars isn't William's army.
They don't know what we've done here.
We outnumber them.
Let's get ready!
I understand that some of you aren't happy with William,
and you think you need some other protection.
Which of you mercenaries is the leader?
You?
That's right.
I know this man.
He seeks vengeance for something that happened long ago.
He's not doing this for you, but you will pay.
But if you surrender now, your lives will be spared.
It's your choice!
You have 30 seconds to decide!
15!
No one gives a damn what you say, Jason!
The next shot won't be a warning!
Okay, you asked for it!
Wait!
Don't kill him!
That's William's right hand man.
We may have use for him.
Jason.
Thank you for today.
Everybody did their part.
Not everybody.
When the fighting started, Luis was nowhere to be found.
That doesn't surprise me.
I'm not so confused anymore.
What do you mean?
Well, could never marry a man that I didn't respect.
Hi.
You know, I really thought some of them
would go with him today.
I guess I didn't know all my friends
well enough to know what choice they'd make.
Well, most of them probably didn't know
what choice they'd make themselves till they made it.
These are good people.
Yeah.
We really taught them a lesson today.
Val, what happened today was good,
but it's a cake walk compared to what will happen
when William shows up.
All Jason did was buy us a little time.
You best make use of it.
Tell your people there's still a lot to be done.
I don't know what you're all so smug about,
but you just signed your own death warrants.
You should've taken Jason's offer and surrendered.
Give it up, Reynaldo.
They're not gonna listen to you anymore.
Well, when William gets here, they'll wish they had.
You mark my words, Emilio.
We have to find some way to disassociate ourselves
from these fools before it's too late.
You know, there's two things that smell like fish.
One of them's fish.
Ricardo, you remember that blonde from the saloon
up in Kessel a couple years ago?
How can I forget?
You damn near got me killed.
Well, you're the one that introduced me to her.
How was I supposed to know she was married?
Nah, she can't be married.
No sign of that gas convoy, boss.
How much water have we got?
Not much.
Drying up fast.
We got enough fuel to get to Chinle?
Yeah.
Then let's move it out.
Chinle!
Hey, Ricardo.
Hey, Rick and I were thinking
when this fighting is all over, we'd like to go with you.
For me, it is never over.
Yeah, we'd like to join you, though,
become warriors and fight along side you.
You will leave your homes?
Yeah, well, there's a lot more to life than farming,
that's for sure.
But we can't stay home forever.
Ricardo, why did you leave your home?
I never had one, but if I did, that's where I'd be.
How much time do you think we have?
Another day, if we're lucky.
What's this?
Well, William thinks Jason is holding the fort,
so that'll just help convince him.
When he gets nice and close,
we hit him with everything we got.
Roy!
Smile.
Wait.
Try and make him feel welcome.
Get off the car! Get off!
Come on, come on!
Fall back!
Take these assholes back to the stockade.
And no milk and cookies.
Ricardo.
Check out William's camp, see what we're really up against.
If they got any water, use it up.
Open the gate!
I'm okay.
Let's go.
Check every vehicle.
Check all the equipment.
We attack in the morning in full force.
They won't drive me back this time.
If I have to, I'll level Chinle.
You know what to tell them.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll take care of things here.
What's this?
An emissary from Chinle.
He says he has important information for you.
He's the chief's son.
He helped me escape.
He's okay. I'll be the judge of that.
Well?
Son of chief, what do you got for me?
I tell you, this is madness!
This man is going to get us all killed
because of some personal vendetta
that has nothing to do with us.
If we act now, we can negotiate a reasonable truce,
but if we wait...
That what your son is doing in William's camp?
Negotiating a truce?
Are you gonna follow a man who'll sell you down the river
just to save his own skin?
William has no water!
The longer we hold back his army, the weaker it gets.
Now, if we can hold him now,
they'll never have the strength to fight another day.
When he hits us, it will be hard,
but if we stand together and hold our ground,
we can beat this son of a bitch!
- Yeah! - Right, right!
Move back!
Back!
Val!
- Papa! - Daniel!
- Oh, yes, come here. - Get over here.
Let go!
Take him away.
William, William, William,
William, William, William!
So this is Chinle.
They're gonna love us.
Welcome to our humble village.
I'm Reynaldo.
I trust my efforts to facilitate you won't go unrewarded.
Where are the rest of those mercenaries?
They escaped.
Whose their leader?
Michael.
Michael?
So what are we gonna do now?!
We've got no food, no water, and no transport!
The outpost is a hundred miles away!
We'd never make it!
- We can try. - We can always go back
and surrender to William.
Well, I'm going back, but it ain't to surrender.
Ricardo?
It's either die out here like a dog,
or down there like a man.
I'm with John.
I may be a scoundrel,
but I ain't never turn my back on a friend.
All right.
We go tonight.
Everybody stay out of the sun.
Conserve your energy.
I have no patience for failure, Jason,
but in view of your past loyalty to me,
I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself.
I thank you for that.
Tomorrow morning, you'll fight this young upstart Dorian
in a duel to the death.
And if you win, you'll be reinstated
your position in my service.
I'll win.
I expect you to make short work of it.
You won't be disappointed.
And if Dorian wins?
Why, I'm not an unreasonable man.
His life will be spared.
He'll spend the rest of his days in slavery
to the captains of my guard.
Take them away.
Son of a bitch.
Well, can't say as I care too much for the odds.
No one here said it was gonna be easy.
Never mind, I don't want any.
Put it down there.
Daniel.
Where did you get this?
Up there, in the cave!
Can you show me?
Yes.
In there.
There.
Whoa.
Elusive jackpot.
Do you know how to use that?
Yeah, if they're not all rusted out.
Ricardo, we're in business.
Val.
What are you doing here?
I had to see you.
I'm scared.
Don't be.
This is all my fault.
Hey, Jason's not gonna kill me.
I've got too much to live for.
Yeah, but even if you win...
Hey, as long as I'm alive,
I'll find a way for us to be together.
I swear.
Val!
This is for you, William.
Yeah, yeah!
Kill the motherfucker!
Cut his nuts off! Yeah!
Yeah!
Kick that motherfucker's ass!
Kill! Yeah!
- Val! - Incoming!
He's yours.
Chinle owes you so much.
I wish you'd stay.
Still so much that we can learn from you.
Whatever you need to know you know.
My work is done here.
It's time for me to move on.
Thanks.
- Ow. - Thanks for everything.
We appreciate it.
Take care of him now.
She will.
I thought you were staying.
Not my style.
I'm a gambling man.
You know, kid, it's not too late to change your mind.
Big tournament up in Bonetown, we could clean up.
I don't think so.
Bye.
Ah, I can't say as I blame you, kid.
