Taken from Rio Bravo (2024) Movie Script
EAST TEXAS, 1874
This is a heist!
Hold still,
and doesn't get in our way.
Our gang is waiting outside.
Be good and fill those bags
with your worldly goods.
Go!
Faster!
You too, bartender!
Go for it!
Into the bag!
Today, if possible!
Thanks.
Hey you, with the newspaper!
We're talking to you!
I'm just waiting for my train.
You are comfortable
quite a talkative guy.
God bless you.
The soup tastes really delicious.
And which one of you is the cook?
The truth is,
Jenny and I have dinner
brought from work.
Oh, you mean the Palace.
What bothers you about it?
Well, I'll be honest:
That my cousins work there
I don't like it at all.
Do you know,
you can always work at school.
There is a lot to do there.
But Margaret, we like the Palace.
And you too, once you're there.
I'll work first
in the Palace for a short time,
but we do nothing wrong there.
We give to the people there
something to drink and eat,
and clean.
And we get
a wage and lots of tips.
A lot of tips.
Well, I'm happy then,
if you are both happy too.
And I also really appreciate it,
that I can spend the night with you today.
Especially after this extremely unpleasant one
Carriage ride from Prairie Ridge.
And my back
is still completely stiff.
We are happy
about our cousin's visit.
Yes, the last time you were was about one
year here, if I'm not mistaken.
I think you're right.
I'm really looking forward to it
on teaching in Blind Chapel.
Maybe there are a few students
who want to go into battle.
Your mayor
must be a scholar
because it seems very important to him
to lie, to build a new school.
Um, sorry,
but did I say something foolish?
No, actually
we have to apologize.
The truth is,
the mayor couldn't yet
distinguish dung from wild honey.
There is only one reason for
the new school building in Blind Chapel.
He was promised
that he then the biggest brothel
far and wide and wide.
In return.
Mh-hm.
So much for this learned man.
Oh, I see.
You know, it was ours
attractive Sheriff Kelly, Jenny's husband,
who convinced the mayor.
I remember watching Vernon
I met on my last visit.
He's a decent guy.
And how is he?
He is very busy with his job.
That is, when he's not
courting our Jenny.
The bells are already ringing here
wedding bells soon?
Uh, well, Vernon and me
have talked about it.
That's good. And you should
continue to talk to him about it.
God knows that this man loves you
get married one day.
Well...
I know you're there!
Make yourself obliging
out of the dust immediately!
Come here!
Sheriff.
Ivan.
Thank you for coming.
They said it was urgent.
What about them?
Oh, they're afraid to go in.
-I think that tonight she...
-Where are Jenny and Valerie?
I have no idea, sheriff.
But I was behind the house.
And with this carnage
I'm assuming that...
-Samuel. Get out.
-Run away?
OK.
Listen to me.
So that's clear.
I am the gravedigger.
The only gravedigger
and for everyone,
the one inside or outside
from White Chapel bites the dust.
This is my business, okay?
It's mine.
OK? OK.
Oh, one more thing.
I have a few good theories about it
who broke in there
and such a devilry
has caused.
-And I think...
-Samuel!
I'm going to treat myself to a drink.
Good luck.
That was a very fierce fight.
Margaret?
Margaret!
This is Vernon.
Margaret.
Where are Jenny and Valerie?
Margaret?
Margaret, please tell me.
Give me a minute, Vernon.
Margaret, Margaret.
Who did this to you?
The squad.
I came so quickly
as I could.
She's dead.
What did she say?
The squad.
What a sick bastard
does something so cruel?
-Jenny and Valerie are still alive.
-You can't know that.
And whether!
Otherwise their bodies would be with Margaret.
And even if,
how are we supposed to find them?
We don't know
where they were taken.
We are on our own.
This telegraph is still broken.
You know as well as I do
that no one else will help us.
Then we'll do it.
You mean just the two of us?
Against the squad?
Exactly.
TRADE
What exactly did Margaret mean?
because with the squad?
Most think that the squad
was founded by law enforcement officers.
But in the area of the border
The word also means slave trader.
-Slaver?
-Yes.
The worst and most abominable devils,
that ever existed.
They take women and children prisoner
and sell them to the compradores,
which they then take to Mexico.
We can stop them.
We make it.
Why did they
Didn't take Margaret with you?
Because she fought back.
She died,
because she wanted to protect her cousins.
The poor thing. God bless her.
I have something for you.
Thanks.
Doc Adams, I want
that you raise your right hand.
-Why?
-Don't ask, just do it.
I want you to swear solemnly,
that you are loyal and devoted
the legitimate duties,
of the interim deputy sheriff
of Blind Chapel.
Moment! I? I can't do that.
Doc, at this moment you are the only one
who I can trust.
I see it that way too.
You both are really serious,
not true?
We're damn serious.
You have to help us, Doc.
You have to swear it.
OK.
I swear it.
Under no circumstances should you take this off.
Wow. I'm not sure,
whether anyone will take me seriously.
Already.
I couldn't even
hit a bull's ass,
if he were standing right in front of me.
That's not important.
As long as people can see that you're wearing it.
OK.
So,
good luck, gentlemen.
Bring us Jenny
and Valerie returned unscathed.
We're trying.
The horses need to rest.
The heat is too much for her.
Let's take a break back there.
Looks calm.
Is something wrong?
We were followed earlier.
And from whom?
A man. An Indian.
I didn't exactly recognize him.
Is he still out there?
Certainly.
Go.
-It's too quiet.
-Mh-hm.
Hello? Hello?
I'll take a look around,
whether there is anything to eat here.
Come on, put the gun down!
Get it off, gringo!
You killed the ranger.
Muchachos.
You're just greedy maggots.
Take the gun!
I will you
like a pig!
Come on!
The pistol! Give it here!
Is that the Indian
that you were talking about?
That's him.
Looks like he wants to chat.
Then let's go.
Angel.
General.
So you two know each other?
Angel was during the war
acted as my scout.
All right, General?
The war is over.
Call me Ivan. This is Sheriff Kelly.
-Angel.
-Hello Sheriff.
I only now realized
that it is you.
I followed you for several hours.
He already knows that. He saw you.
Is that true?
Just a few times.
You're not supposed to see me at all.
You become careless.
You haven't changed.
Listen, Angel. We are looking for
a group of human traffickers.
They killed.
And kidnapped two friends.
These men belong
probably the Watuku squad.
They are the most ruthless of all
Traffickers I have ever seen.
You are by a cold-blooded man
named Jack Watuku.
Apparently he is of mixed blood.
Part Comanche, part Kiowa.
And part demon.
Have you ever been in trouble?
with that Watuku asshole?
Jack Watuku and his squad
attacked my family.
They were behind
my two daughters.
My wife has one
the human trafficker shot.
They beat her up.
Then they attacked her.
And then killed her.
My God.
I'm sorry, Angel.
They have our daughters
brought behind the border.
I haven't seen her since.
Do you have any idea
where is the Watuku squad now?
I know where they keep their slaves
bring across the border.
Are you riding there?
Yes.
Can we join?
It would be an honor for me
to ride with you again.
Me too, my friend.
If we catch them at the border,
is there then a chance that ours
nothing happened to both women?
I'm untying you, ladies.
Then you all sit here.
I'll get you hot stones and water.
Get the gun, Val!
Give him back his weapon immediately.
Or I'll chase her
a bullet in the head.
You rotten piece of shit.
The two of you don't move from the spot.
-Haskell!
-Yes, sergeant?
Watch your gun, you idiot!
I would like to throat each of you
cut from left to right.
So behave yourself!
You are nothing to me
as a piece of meat, is that clear?
Don't forget that!
That was definitely great.
From Abe Lincoln himself
to be appointed general.
My wife and my soldiers have
Convinced Lincoln to help me.
At my trial.
But actually I just got it in
met Chicago. Just before the war.
How was that for you?
To meet the president?
Overwhelming.
Honorable.
I also met Grant back then.
You really have
met two presidents?
Until now.
I've been meaning to tell you something for a long time.
I hear.
So, the way I see it,
are you too hard on yourself?
Don't let me
that your guilt is eating you up.
That's wrong.
I have my reasons, Vernon.
Your reasons
are all in the past.
I used to be like that too.
I was a Union Corporal with the
great battle on the banks of the Antietam.
I've heard about that.
We're almost four hours long
in full team
competed against the Greybacks.
There was a shootout.
Screams everywhere.
It was a huge massacre.
More than five thousand men
fell in this battle.
That's how it is in war.
There are no rules there. Or fairness.
But the battle
changed me back then.
She turned me off.
I'm crazy.
I did too after the war
still killed people.
I'll get you.
What changed you?
That was Jenny Gray.
She took me out
brought out of the past.
And showed me
How I can be a better man.
And in the here and now.
Have you ever met a woman like that?
I have. My wife Nadine.
We came here from Russia.
Nadine always stood by me.
She served as a nurse.
And as confessor in my regiment,
during the war.
And what happened to you afterwards?
After the war I had to leave.
I wanted a fresh start.
out here,
far away from the north and from the cities.
She's not sure
whether she wants the same thing.
Will you ever see her again?
No idea.
So what I'm trying to say is:
A woman can help a man
deal with his guilt.
I see it that way too.
Oh, by the way,
Jenny and I are thinking about getting married.
I like my life with her.
I'm glad to hear that, Vernon.
And don't worry. We'll find them!
One of you
come with me to this hut now.
Just the two of us.
Who will be the lucky one?
You can decide.
Is the choice that difficult?
Good.
I will decide for you.
-No.
-What's your name?
Diana.
Well, Diana,
you won!
-No!
-Ow! You damn...
I definitely won't
go to this hut with you!
Is that so?
None of us!
Hit me calmly.
Shoot me.
But won't
go to this hut with you!
Haskell!
-No! Please don't!
-Hold still. Have you heard?
-Did you hear?
-Did you hear?
I heard you.
Would you like to die, Diana?
Do you like to die?
No!
But I'm not going for any
Fall into this hut. Not with you!
Sorry, sergeant,
but we should go further.
A storm is coming.
Are we leaving?
Yes, we're leaving.
Whoever you are,
come out of there with your hands up.
No wrong move,
otherwise you will regret it bitterly!
Slow.
Do you need help, ma'am?
I've been traveling all day.
I could now
tolerate something to drink.
Come.
Sit with us by the fire.
I'd pimp it up a bit, okay?
Sure, go ahead.
A black-eyed rudbeckia.
It grows a mile away
on the hill.
Oh yes?
What's your name?
Ellen.
Are you Ellen Teal?
Also known as la apparition?
The bounty hunter
with a heart of stone?
People always exaggerate.
I'm just doing a job.
And sometimes
Does anyone disagree with that?
Then I have to protect myself.
At the moment I'm looking,
after this man.
The bastard is a woman murderer.
Merle Ambers.
I want to collect the bounty.
And what are you two doing here?
We're looking for a squad.
They kidnapped two women.
Their leader is a man named Watuku.
Have you ever heard of him?
Oh, and whether.
He is pure evil.
A thief and murderer.
He has houses during the war
looted and women violated.
I don't believe this devil
fought in the war at all.
That sounds like a tough nut to crack
that we are after.
Honestly
I would have such good coffee
on this one
Didn't expect this goddamn place.
Thank you, gentlemen,
I feel much better already.
Take good care of yourself.
Watuku is a monster.
Be aware of this.
Thank you very much.
If you catch him, then
don't hesitate and kill him.
The first bounty hunter,
that I have ever seen.
We should wake up Angel.
You know, this area here will
getting stranger the longer we are here.
You said it.
Haskell.
I think we should do this
what the boss said.
He has a sense of it, if anything
That's not true, don't you think?
Haskell!
-Keep your mouth shut!
-Please.
We need water.
If we don't have the route
Take direction southwest,
then we won't make it in time.
Please. Haskell.
Do you have anything left for us?
I said: Shut up!
Your customers definitely don't want one
Ladies who are almost starving.
Now give them something.
They shouldn't die of thirst.
There's nothing more.
The squad is in that direction.
If we ride that way, he will
The path will be harder, but also faster.
We could save a lot of time.
Then let's go.
Ladies, you're about to have one
get to know the real Caballero Rico.
Do you know what that means?
Answer!
This is Spanish.
It means rich gentleman.
So, look at you!
Beauty and mind.
But this particular gentleman
is not Mexican.
He's white, but he lives in Mexico.
He works on both sides of the border.
And he is very important
for our business.
And that means that you fine ladies,
Please be decent to him.
But you know what...
I would really like to have you for
to buy myself, my darling.
Private Jones!
Yes, sergeant?
Sir?
What is?
Oh, just a gut feeling.
I've never been happy
rode through this area.
You were right, Angel.
From here you can
it's impossible for us to attack them.
It would be better if we went further.
Not true?
The rocks are still there.
But if we go too far,
we are in the valley without cover.
Then we have no choice.
We have to get down there.
And attack them in the camp.
Angel and I go in first.
We will fight and distract them.
And you, Vernon,
go straight to the women.
Get Valerie, get Jenny, and the others.
I'll hurry up, okay?
Oh my god, Vernon!
Where is Ivan?
He does the rest.
Stay here.
Vernon!
Angel!
Haskell!
Come on, get rid of the women!
Go ahead!
Come on, get out of here
Move, move, move!
-Get out, go ahead!
-No, please don't!
Go Go!
Come on, move!
Move!
Come on! Movement! Go Go!
Come on, move!
Come on! Faster!
Move! Go!
Angel.
The cemetery.
De Sin Nombre.
Finish it.
I'm doing it for you.
I love you.
You can't leave me.
So beautiful
You've never been like this before.
Valerie!
Jenny!
Take this.
Can you ride?
Yeah, um, I think so.
What are you planning to do now?
-I follow the squad and the prisoners.
-But where did they go?
Angel told me
where they want to sell the women.
Help me up.
I'm going with Ivan!
-You leave it alone!
-But I...
Forget it, Vernon!
Instead, find a doctor to help you.
Take him to the next town.
He can't make it to Blind Chapel.
There's a town called Steel Cliff.
Half a day's walk from here.
Good.
Take him there. To the doctor.
Press on his wound.
Take this. This is from Doc Adams.
It works against pain.
-Thank you.
-Thank you my friend.
Ivan!
I'm coming with you.
Jenny and I want revenge.
He killed Margaret!
You have guts.
But you have to get it so quickly
get to Steel Cliff as possible.
And as for Watuku,
I promise you
I'll kill him as soon as I find him.
See you soon, Valerie.
Moment.
Stop!
What the hell is going on now?
What's your name?
Emily.
Well, Emily,
why are you throwing up in front of us like that?
Because I feel sick.
You're not expecting a child, are you, Emily?
No.
-And you don't have smallpox either?
-No.
Then I have news for you, Emily.
You're not sick.
What's your name?
Angela.
And, Angela, are you sick?
A little.
It was a very hard road.
You're not sick, Angela.
Open your mouth.
Spit it out again.
What's wrong with you, Angela?
Please.
Let's get away.
Wesley.
It's always nice to see you.
Still for you
Senor Garrett.
Senor.
Why are we so stinky today?
Llegas tardes.
What?
You're late.
Isn't true.
We plan to do it
done before sunset.
That was the deal.
Maybe for you, but for me...
Carlos! Agua!
You're definitely thirsty.
Thank you very much.
Soon you will both be new
receive clothing. And a meal.
Sir, I beg you. Emily and me
belong to wealthy families.
That doesn't matter here.
But it wouldn't matter
when they take us home.
My husband will pay.
Mine too, I swear to you.
As much as you want.
Is not necessary.
You are coming to a new home.
To a new family.
Nueva Familia.
You're so excited,
to get to know you.
Don't look so sad.
Carlos wants to know
why there are only two sluts this time?
I would like to know that too.
There was a little stress along the way.
A little stress?
I want you to be clear about one thing...
I wasn't happy
with the last delivery.
And with this one
I'm particularly unhappy.
They're a bit dirty, nothing else.
You need a bath.
Fresh clothes.
You will see
that the two are excellent goods.
I want to speak to your boss.
There is no reason for that.
And whether it exists.
I'm your ace up your sleeve
in this deal.
My ace up my sleeve?
Oh. That sounds so important.
I'm confused.
You are a henchman,
you are a nobody. You're not a boss.
Listen, we had the deal
that you...
Our agreement is broken.
I don't negotiate with anyone
except for a leader.
And as we know, you're not.
All right. All right.
If you really want it that way,
Senor Garrett...
then the colonel will come here,
in an hour.
Good.
You're right.
This is an evil place.
We wait an hour and a half.
Otherwise the deal falls through. And we go.
Why so nervous?
Because I am of the opinion
that patience is an overrated virtue.
Besides, it should
This place is said to be haunted.
Haunt?
But there are no ghosts.
Crawley.
WANTED
DEAD OR ALIVE
The leader of the Hellhound gang.
All cutthroat.
These are monsters.
Let's burn down the church.
Hey! Sergeant!
He is here.
-It's such a pleasure to see you.
-I'm very pleased too, Sergeant.
Colonel.
What happened? Are you outside?
Prison was bad.
Most guards have no idea.
One is dumber than the other.
One of these
I promised morons money
if he helps me escape.
He believed me.
-Ethan Crawley?
-Do I know you?
I know you.
Therefore, it surprises me
that you take part here.
Thought you were just doing business
with your Hellhounds.
-These are my Hellhounds.
-Oh yes?
We're a happy family.
I'm not happy.
-Oh...
-Only two women this time?
What happened?
We are in one
Ambushed, Colonel.
Well, there you have your explanation.
-That wasn't our agreement.
-I think so.
I'll bring the meat and you the money.
And I have no time for assholes,
who don't stick to agreements.
I hope you'll reconsider.
Otherwise you will be badly beaten.
Am I right?
What can we do so that both
Parties get a fair deal?
We're sticking to the deal.
We deliver the goods to you,
and you pay.
The payment.
Can I?
Damned!
You fooled us.
Emily! Everything will be fine!
Why the fuck
are you still annoying me?
I promised.
A promise?
Which promise?
I promised to kill you.
Are you hurt?
-I think we're fine.
-Yes.
Do you know where Steel Cliff is?
I know it.
Go there.
Seek a doctor.
Jenny and Valerie
are probably already there.
And trust no one.
What is your name, sir?
Please tell us
so that we can pray for you.
John Basil Turchin.
They really thought
that they can fool me.
We can last a while with the coal
go into hiding somewhere.
Oh.
I know who you are.
That damned scoundrel
John Basil Turchin.
Was that right?
I would hate to offend you.
I'm telling you, we're both murderers.
He is Russian.
And he's crazy enough
take on the devil.
I set all the men on him.
They're all dead.
We don't have any men anymore.
You and me.
We are the same.
We're not.
You won't believe
who stands here in front of us.
This big asshole
was a Yankee general.
You shouldn't be in San Antonio
hang on the gallows?
Oh yes, but I managed to escape.
You always meet twice.
Enjoy it.
It's the last time.
I remember
that we at our last meeting
with a draw
have fallen apart.
No, you lost.
Might be.
But this time we have
five more weapons than you.
Apparently our new one had
Deputy Sheriff Doc Adams has a lot to do.
I heard he has
Tobias Wheaton thrown in jail.
Yes?
What did the idiot do?
So,
he was only on the old one
Orchard caught, same as always.
Then he took care of his clothes
disposed of, in the middle of the street.
And then he also has
with his magnificent body
waved around in front of the ladies.
Yes.
How much longer am I doomed to
to sit around here?
Until you're healthy.
Homemade chicken soup.
Nice.
Thank you, Jenny,
but I'm not hungry at the moment.
You should eat, Vernon.
This is the only way you will
regain your strength.
Remember to drink this.
An hour after eating.
Yes.
I'm so glad you're here again!
I'm happy about that too.
How are you doing?
Already much better.
And Jenny?
She's fine.
I have money with me. For school.
Thanks.
And where is the sheriff?
At least try them!
Uh, Jenny, I'm just not hungry.
You have to regain your strength!
-I said I'm not hungry!
-You're a stubborn donkey!
Someone would like to see you.
I don't want visitors now.
What do you mean by that?
Jenny.
Oh, look.
You're here again, General.
-How are you, my friend?
-Well, supposedly I'm a stubborn jackass.
-So I seem to be fine.
-Good news.
Valerie and I go into the kitchen.
Then you can speak alone.
So, how did it go?
All women are free and back home.
-And the damn human traffickers?
-Dead.
Ethan Crawley was her boss.
Crawley? Shit.
How did he get out of prison?
No idea.
But you know,
he won't come back anymore. Never again.
Good.
Good.
What's that supposed to mean?
You're supposed to be the sheriff,
while I'm out of action.
You don't just become sheriff.
If I determine it that way, that's it.
Take it already.
And now raise your right hand.

Go!
Faster!
You too, bartender!
Go for it!
Into the bag!
Today, if possible!
Thanks.
Hey you, with the newspaper!
We're talking to you!
I'm just waiting for my train.
You are comfortable
quite a talkative guy.
God bless you.
The soup tastes really delicious.
And which one of you is the cook?
The truth is,
Jenny and I have dinner
brought from work.
Oh, you mean the Palace.
What bothers you about it?
Well, I'll be honest:
That my cousins work there
I don't like it at all.
Do you know,
you can always work at school.
There is a lot to do there.
But Margaret, we like the Palace.
And you too, once you're there.
I'll work first
in the Palace for a short time,
but we do nothing wrong there.
We give to the people there
something to drink and eat,
and clean.
And we get
a wage and lots of tips.
A lot of tips.
Well, I'm happy then,
if you are both happy too.
And I also really appreciate it,
that I can spend the night with you today.
Especially after this extremely unpleasant one
Carriage ride from Prairie Ridge.
And my back
is still completely stiff.
We are happy
about our cousin's visit.
Yes, the last time you were was about one
year here, if I'm not mistaken.
I think you're right.
I'm really looking forward to it
on teaching in Blind Chapel.
Maybe there are a few students
who want to go into battle.
Your mayor
must be a scholar
because it seems very important to him
to lie, to build a new school.
Um, sorry,
but did I say something foolish?
No, actually
we have to apologize.
The truth is,
the mayor couldn't yet
distinguish dung from wild honey.
There is only one reason for
the new school building in Blind Chapel.
He was promised
that he then the biggest brothel
far and wide and wide.
In return.
Mh-hm.
So much for this learned man.
Oh, I see.
You know, it was ours
attractive Sheriff Kelly, Jenny's husband,
who convinced the mayor.
I remember watching Vernon
I met on my last visit.
He's a decent guy.
And how is he?
He is very busy with his job.
That is, when he's not
courting our Jenny.
The bells are already ringing here
wedding bells soon?
Uh, well, Vernon and me
have talked about it.
That's good. And you should
continue to talk to him about it.
God knows that this man loves you
get married one day.
Well...
I know you're there!
Make yourself obliging
out of the dust immediately!
Come here!
Sheriff.
Ivan.
Thank you for coming.
They said it was urgent.
What about them?
Oh, they're afraid to go in.
-I think that tonight she...
-Where are Jenny and Valerie?
I have no idea, sheriff.
But I was behind the house.
And with this carnage
I'm assuming that...
-Samuel. Get out.
-Run away?
OK.
Listen to me.
So that's clear.
I am the gravedigger.
The only gravedigger
and for everyone,
the one inside or outside
from White Chapel bites the dust.
This is my business, okay?
It's mine.
OK? OK.
Oh, one more thing.
I have a few good theories about it
who broke in there
and such a devilry
has caused.
-And I think...
-Samuel!
I'm going to treat myself to a drink.
Good luck.
That was a very fierce fight.
Margaret?
Margaret!
This is Vernon.
Margaret.
Where are Jenny and Valerie?
Margaret?
Margaret, please tell me.
Give me a minute, Vernon.
Margaret, Margaret.
Who did this to you?
The squad.
I came so quickly
as I could.
She's dead.
What did she say?
The squad.
What a sick bastard
does something so cruel?
-Jenny and Valerie are still alive.
-You can't know that.
And whether!
Otherwise their bodies would be with Margaret.
And even if,
how are we supposed to find them?
We don't know
where they were taken.
We are on our own.
This telegraph is still broken.
You know as well as I do
that no one else will help us.
Then we'll do it.
You mean just the two of us?
Against the squad?
Exactly.
TRADE
What exactly did Margaret mean?
because with the squad?
Most think that the squad
was founded by law enforcement officers.
But in the area of the border
The word also means slave trader.
-Slaver?
-Yes.
The worst and most abominable devils,
that ever existed.
They take women and children prisoner
and sell them to the compradores,
which they then take to Mexico.
We can stop them.
We make it.
Why did they
Didn't take Margaret with you?
Because she fought back.
She died,
because she wanted to protect her cousins.
The poor thing. God bless her.
I have something for you.
Thanks.
Doc Adams, I want
that you raise your right hand.
-Why?
-Don't ask, just do it.
I want you to swear solemnly,
that you are loyal and devoted
the legitimate duties,
of the interim deputy sheriff
of Blind Chapel.
Moment! I? I can't do that.
Doc, at this moment you are the only one
who I can trust.
I see it that way too.
You both are really serious,
not true?
We're damn serious.
You have to help us, Doc.
You have to swear it.
OK.
I swear it.
Under no circumstances should you take this off.
Wow. I'm not sure,
whether anyone will take me seriously.
Already.
I couldn't even
hit a bull's ass,
if he were standing right in front of me.
That's not important.
As long as people can see that you're wearing it.
OK.
So,
good luck, gentlemen.
Bring us Jenny
and Valerie returned unscathed.
We're trying.
The horses need to rest.
The heat is too much for her.
Let's take a break back there.
Looks calm.
Is something wrong?
We were followed earlier.
And from whom?
A man. An Indian.
I didn't exactly recognize him.
Is he still out there?
Certainly.
Go.
-It's too quiet.
-Mh-hm.
Hello? Hello?
I'll take a look around,
whether there is anything to eat here.
Come on, put the gun down!
Get it off, gringo!
You killed the ranger.
Muchachos.
You're just greedy maggots.
Take the gun!
I will you
like a pig!
Come on!
The pistol! Give it here!
Is that the Indian
that you were talking about?
That's him.
Looks like he wants to chat.
Then let's go.
Angel.
General.
So you two know each other?
Angel was during the war
acted as my scout.
All right, General?
The war is over.
Call me Ivan. This is Sheriff Kelly.
-Angel.
-Hello Sheriff.
I only now realized
that it is you.
I followed you for several hours.
He already knows that. He saw you.
Is that true?
Just a few times.
You're not supposed to see me at all.
You become careless.
You haven't changed.
Listen, Angel. We are looking for
a group of human traffickers.
They killed.
And kidnapped two friends.
These men belong
probably the Watuku squad.
They are the most ruthless of all
Traffickers I have ever seen.
You are by a cold-blooded man
named Jack Watuku.
Apparently he is of mixed blood.
Part Comanche, part Kiowa.
And part demon.
Have you ever been in trouble?
with that Watuku asshole?
Jack Watuku and his squad
attacked my family.
They were behind
my two daughters.
My wife has one
the human trafficker shot.
They beat her up.
Then they attacked her.
And then killed her.
My God.
I'm sorry, Angel.
They have our daughters
brought behind the border.
I haven't seen her since.
Do you have any idea
where is the Watuku squad now?
I know where they keep their slaves
bring across the border.
Are you riding there?
Yes.
Can we join?
It would be an honor for me
to ride with you again.
Me too, my friend.
If we catch them at the border,
is there then a chance that ours
nothing happened to both women?
I'm untying you, ladies.
Then you all sit here.
I'll get you hot stones and water.
Get the gun, Val!
Give him back his weapon immediately.
Or I'll chase her
a bullet in the head.
You rotten piece of shit.
The two of you don't move from the spot.
-Haskell!
-Yes, sergeant?
Watch your gun, you idiot!
I would like to throat each of you
cut from left to right.
So behave yourself!
You are nothing to me
as a piece of meat, is that clear?
Don't forget that!
That was definitely great.
From Abe Lincoln himself
to be appointed general.
My wife and my soldiers have
Convinced Lincoln to help me.
At my trial.
But actually I just got it in
met Chicago. Just before the war.
How was that for you?
To meet the president?
Overwhelming.
Honorable.
I also met Grant back then.
You really have
met two presidents?
Until now.
I've been meaning to tell you something for a long time.
I hear.
So, the way I see it,
are you too hard on yourself?
Don't let me
that your guilt is eating you up.
That's wrong.
I have my reasons, Vernon.
Your reasons
are all in the past.
I used to be like that too.
I was a Union Corporal with the
great battle on the banks of the Antietam.
I've heard about that.
We're almost four hours long
in full team
competed against the Greybacks.
There was a shootout.
Screams everywhere.
It was a huge massacre.
More than five thousand men
fell in this battle.
That's how it is in war.
There are no rules there. Or fairness.
But the battle
changed me back then.
She turned me off.
I'm crazy.
I did too after the war
still killed people.
I'll get you.
What changed you?
That was Jenny Gray.
She took me out
brought out of the past.
And showed me
How I can be a better man.
And in the here and now.
Have you ever met a woman like that?
I have. My wife Nadine.
We came here from Russia.
Nadine always stood by me.
She served as a nurse.
And as confessor in my regiment,
during the war.
And what happened to you afterwards?
After the war I had to leave.
I wanted a fresh start.
out here,
far away from the north and from the cities.
She's not sure
whether she wants the same thing.
Will you ever see her again?
No idea.
So what I'm trying to say is:
A woman can help a man
deal with his guilt.
I see it that way too.
Oh, by the way,
Jenny and I are thinking about getting married.
I like my life with her.
I'm glad to hear that, Vernon.
And don't worry. We'll find them!
One of you
come with me to this hut now.
Just the two of us.
Who will be the lucky one?
You can decide.
Is the choice that difficult?
Good.
I will decide for you.
-No.
-What's your name?
Diana.
Well, Diana,
you won!
-No!
-Ow! You damn...
I definitely won't
go to this hut with you!
Is that so?
None of us!
Hit me calmly.
Shoot me.
But won't
go to this hut with you!
Haskell!
-No! Please don't!
-Hold still. Have you heard?
-Did you hear?
-Did you hear?
I heard you.
Would you like to die, Diana?
Do you like to die?
No!
But I'm not going for any
Fall into this hut. Not with you!
Sorry, sergeant,
but we should go further.
A storm is coming.
Are we leaving?
Yes, we're leaving.
Whoever you are,
come out of there with your hands up.
No wrong move,
otherwise you will regret it bitterly!
Slow.
Do you need help, ma'am?
I've been traveling all day.
I could now
tolerate something to drink.
Come.
Sit with us by the fire.
I'd pimp it up a bit, okay?
Sure, go ahead.
A black-eyed rudbeckia.
It grows a mile away
on the hill.
Oh yes?
What's your name?
Ellen.
Are you Ellen Teal?
Also known as la apparition?
The bounty hunter
with a heart of stone?
People always exaggerate.
I'm just doing a job.
And sometimes
Does anyone disagree with that?
Then I have to protect myself.
At the moment I'm looking,
after this man.
The bastard is a woman murderer.
Merle Ambers.
I want to collect the bounty.
And what are you two doing here?
We're looking for a squad.
They kidnapped two women.
Their leader is a man named Watuku.
Have you ever heard of him?
Oh, and whether.
He is pure evil.
A thief and murderer.
He has houses during the war
looted and women violated.
I don't believe this devil
fought in the war at all.
That sounds like a tough nut to crack
that we are after.
Honestly
I would have such good coffee
on this one
Didn't expect this goddamn place.
Thank you, gentlemen,
I feel much better already.
Take good care of yourself.
Watuku is a monster.
Be aware of this.
Thank you very much.
If you catch him, then
don't hesitate and kill him.
The first bounty hunter,
that I have ever seen.
We should wake up Angel.
You know, this area here will
getting stranger the longer we are here.
You said it.
Haskell.
I think we should do this
what the boss said.
He has a sense of it, if anything
That's not true, don't you think?
Haskell!
-Keep your mouth shut!
-Please.
We need water.
If we don't have the route
Take direction southwest,
then we won't make it in time.
Please. Haskell.
Do you have anything left for us?
I said: Shut up!
Your customers definitely don't want one
Ladies who are almost starving.
Now give them something.
They shouldn't die of thirst.
There's nothing more.
The squad is in that direction.
If we ride that way, he will
The path will be harder, but also faster.
We could save a lot of time.
Then let's go.
Ladies, you're about to have one
get to know the real Caballero Rico.
Do you know what that means?
Answer!
This is Spanish.
It means rich gentleman.
So, look at you!
Beauty and mind.
But this particular gentleman
is not Mexican.
He's white, but he lives in Mexico.
He works on both sides of the border.
And he is very important
for our business.
And that means that you fine ladies,
Please be decent to him.
But you know what...
I would really like to have you for
to buy myself, my darling.
Private Jones!
Yes, sergeant?
Sir?
What is?
Oh, just a gut feeling.
I've never been happy
rode through this area.
You were right, Angel.
From here you can
it's impossible for us to attack them.
It would be better if we went further.
Not true?
The rocks are still there.
But if we go too far,
we are in the valley without cover.
Then we have no choice.
We have to get down there.
And attack them in the camp.
Angel and I go in first.
We will fight and distract them.
And you, Vernon,
go straight to the women.
Get Valerie, get Jenny, and the others.
I'll hurry up, okay?
Oh my god, Vernon!
Where is Ivan?
He does the rest.
Stay here.
Vernon!
Angel!
Haskell!
Come on, get rid of the women!
Go ahead!
Come on, get out of here
Move, move, move!
-Get out, go ahead!
-No, please don't!
Go Go!
Come on, move!
Move!
Come on! Movement! Go Go!
Come on, move!
Come on! Faster!
Move! Go!
Angel.
The cemetery.
De Sin Nombre.
Finish it.
I'm doing it for you.
I love you.
You can't leave me.
So beautiful
You've never been like this before.
Valerie!
Jenny!
Take this.
Can you ride?
Yeah, um, I think so.
What are you planning to do now?
-I follow the squad and the prisoners.
-But where did they go?
Angel told me
where they want to sell the women.
Help me up.
I'm going with Ivan!
-You leave it alone!
-But I...
Forget it, Vernon!
Instead, find a doctor to help you.
Take him to the next town.
He can't make it to Blind Chapel.
There's a town called Steel Cliff.
Half a day's walk from here.
Good.
Take him there. To the doctor.
Press on his wound.
Take this. This is from Doc Adams.
It works against pain.
-Thank you.
-Thank you my friend.
Ivan!
I'm coming with you.
Jenny and I want revenge.
He killed Margaret!
You have guts.
But you have to get it so quickly
get to Steel Cliff as possible.
And as for Watuku,
I promise you
I'll kill him as soon as I find him.
See you soon, Valerie.
Moment.
Stop!
What the hell is going on now?
What's your name?
Emily.
Well, Emily,
why are you throwing up in front of us like that?
Because I feel sick.
You're not expecting a child, are you, Emily?
No.
-And you don't have smallpox either?
-No.
Then I have news for you, Emily.
You're not sick.
What's your name?
Angela.
And, Angela, are you sick?
A little.
It was a very hard road.
You're not sick, Angela.
Open your mouth.
Spit it out again.
What's wrong with you, Angela?
Please.
Let's get away.
Wesley.
It's always nice to see you.
Still for you
Senor Garrett.
Senor.
Why are we so stinky today?
Llegas tardes.
What?
You're late.
Isn't true.
We plan to do it
done before sunset.
That was the deal.
Maybe for you, but for me...
Carlos! Agua!
You're definitely thirsty.
Thank you very much.
Soon you will both be new
receive clothing. And a meal.
Sir, I beg you. Emily and me
belong to wealthy families.
That doesn't matter here.
But it wouldn't matter
when they take us home.
My husband will pay.
Mine too, I swear to you.
As much as you want.
Is not necessary.
You are coming to a new home.
To a new family.
Nueva Familia.
You're so excited,
to get to know you.
Don't look so sad.
Carlos wants to know
why there are only two sluts this time?
I would like to know that too.
There was a little stress along the way.
A little stress?
I want you to be clear about one thing...
I wasn't happy
with the last delivery.
And with this one
I'm particularly unhappy.
They're a bit dirty, nothing else.
You need a bath.
Fresh clothes.
You will see
that the two are excellent goods.
I want to speak to your boss.
There is no reason for that.
And whether it exists.
I'm your ace up your sleeve
in this deal.
My ace up my sleeve?
Oh. That sounds so important.
I'm confused.
You are a henchman,
you are a nobody. You're not a boss.
Listen, we had the deal
that you...
Our agreement is broken.
I don't negotiate with anyone
except for a leader.
And as we know, you're not.
All right. All right.
If you really want it that way,
Senor Garrett...
then the colonel will come here,
in an hour.
Good.
You're right.
This is an evil place.
We wait an hour and a half.
Otherwise the deal falls through. And we go.
Why so nervous?
Because I am of the opinion
that patience is an overrated virtue.
Besides, it should
This place is said to be haunted.
Haunt?
But there are no ghosts.
Crawley.
WANTED
DEAD OR ALIVE
The leader of the Hellhound gang.
All cutthroat.
These are monsters.
Let's burn down the church.
Hey! Sergeant!
He is here.
-It's such a pleasure to see you.
-I'm very pleased too, Sergeant.
Colonel.
What happened? Are you outside?
Prison was bad.
Most guards have no idea.
One is dumber than the other.
One of these
I promised morons money
if he helps me escape.
He believed me.
-Ethan Crawley?
-Do I know you?
I know you.
Therefore, it surprises me
that you take part here.
Thought you were just doing business
with your Hellhounds.
-These are my Hellhounds.
-Oh yes?
We're a happy family.
I'm not happy.
-Oh...
-Only two women this time?
What happened?
We are in one
Ambushed, Colonel.
Well, there you have your explanation.
-That wasn't our agreement.
-I think so.
I'll bring the meat and you the money.
And I have no time for assholes,
who don't stick to agreements.
I hope you'll reconsider.
Otherwise you will be badly beaten.
Am I right?
What can we do so that both
Parties get a fair deal?
We're sticking to the deal.
We deliver the goods to you,
and you pay.
The payment.
Can I?
Damned!
You fooled us.
Emily! Everything will be fine!
Why the fuck
are you still annoying me?
I promised.
A promise?
Which promise?
I promised to kill you.
Are you hurt?
-I think we're fine.
-Yes.
Do you know where Steel Cliff is?
I know it.
Go there.
Seek a doctor.
Jenny and Valerie
are probably already there.
And trust no one.
What is your name, sir?
Please tell us
so that we can pray for you.
John Basil Turchin.
They really thought
that they can fool me.
We can last a while with the coal
go into hiding somewhere.
Oh.
I know who you are.
That damned scoundrel
John Basil Turchin.
Was that right?
I would hate to offend you.
I'm telling you, we're both murderers.
He is Russian.
And he's crazy enough
take on the devil.
I set all the men on him.
They're all dead.
We don't have any men anymore.
You and me.
We are the same.
We're not.
You won't believe
who stands here in front of us.
This big asshole
was a Yankee general.
You shouldn't be in San Antonio
hang on the gallows?
Oh yes, but I managed to escape.
You always meet twice.
Enjoy it.
It's the last time.
I remember
that we at our last meeting
with a draw
have fallen apart.
No, you lost.
Might be.
But this time we have
five more weapons than you.
Apparently our new one had
Deputy Sheriff Doc Adams has a lot to do.
I heard he has
Tobias Wheaton thrown in jail.
Yes?
What did the idiot do?
So,
he was only on the old one
Orchard caught, same as always.
Then he took care of his clothes
disposed of, in the middle of the street.
And then he also has
with his magnificent body
waved around in front of the ladies.
Yes.
How much longer am I doomed to
to sit around here?
Until you're healthy.
Homemade chicken soup.
Nice.
Thank you, Jenny,
but I'm not hungry at the moment.
You should eat, Vernon.
This is the only way you will
regain your strength.
Remember to drink this.
An hour after eating.
Yes.
I'm so glad you're here again!
I'm happy about that too.
How are you doing?
Already much better.
And Jenny?
She's fine.
I have money with me. For school.
Thanks.
And where is the sheriff?
At least try them!
Uh, Jenny, I'm just not hungry.
You have to regain your strength!
-I said I'm not hungry!
-You're a stubborn donkey!
Someone would like to see you.
I don't want visitors now.
What do you mean by that?
Jenny.
Oh, look.
You're here again, General.
-How are you, my friend?
-Well, supposedly I'm a stubborn jackass.
-So I seem to be fine.
-Good news.
Valerie and I go into the kitchen.
Then you can speak alone.
So, how did it go?
All women are free and back home.
-And the damn human traffickers?
-Dead.
Ethan Crawley was her boss.
Crawley? Shit.
How did he get out of prison?
No idea.
But you know,
he won't come back anymore. Never again.
Good.
Good.
What's that supposed to mean?
You're supposed to be the sheriff,
while I'm out of action.
You don't just become sheriff.
If I determine it that way, that's it.
Take it already.
And now raise your right hand.
