Blowing Wild Page #4

your name as a reference.

- As what? Which young lady?

- That one.

She said you'd vouch

for her honesty.

Nice of you to have come

to my debut.

I hear I'm responsible for it. Didn't

know you could deal blackjack.

I can't. Manager's only interested

in how I look.

Why weren't you on that boat?

I didn't know there was a law

I had to get out of town.

There's no law

I had to give you $200, either.

Here's your money!

- Save it for the next boat.

- I'm not ready to leave.

- You've got a great future here!

- Don't tell me how to live.

- I've got an investment in you.

- Take it back!

- Why are you avoiding me?

- I'm busy.

You're always busy, all month!

- You can't wait to get out of here.

- That's right.

- Why do you hate me?

- I don't.

Then why don't I ever see you?

Answer me!

- The men are looking at you.

- I don't care! I don't care!

# Can this girl love me back?

# Love me more, more than black

# Gold?

# I was cought in her web

# Just like the spider

captures the fly

# And I knew, what is more

# I must leave, leave her or die

# Marina, mine

# Set me free

# Free from black gold

# Blowing wild

# Blowing wild! #

How're you doing?

Still in cap rock

but we'll get through.

- You said that three bits ago.

- It's not exactly custard pudding.

- All right, pick her up.

- Hold it!

- What's the trouble?

- You promised me oil at 3,200.

- So wait till I get there.

- Gonna speed it up for you.

Peter, Miguel, get a torpedo out.

Nitro? This well doesn't need that.

I'll bring it in for you.

Let's do it my way this time.

- It's your party.

- I got my reasons.

Bring it in here! Easy, boys.

Pack it down good.

Plenty of mud on top.

Set it for 6am tomorrow.

How do you know

it'll stay put that long?

Jeff, let me worry...

Paco! They're over there!

I don't get it.

They could've blown up the well.

They didn't come for that. They're

reminding me to keep an appointment.

I didn't know you heard from 'em.

I didn't figure they'd come

this close to town.

This is why I'm using nitro.

I've got to find out quick if

there's anything worth fighting for.

You coming to the house?

I better take a look

at the men they shot.

Next time, they'll mean business.

It's not possible to expect

troops from the north.

- You must hold on.

- With what?

Do as the other companies -

close down, give rifles to every man.

They'll blow me up.

I've got a right to protection!

I will do everything possible.

- Mrs Conway should stay in town.

- Yeah, maybe you should.

I'm staying here.

- Jeff, how bad was that man hurt?

- He's dead.

- Maybe you should go into town.

- I'm not running away!

Pedro! Saddle up

a couple of fresh horses.

What are you going to do?

We're going to keep

that appointment.

- I see your face before.

- You killed one of my men.

- Are you Mr Conway?

- I'm Conway.

You shut up.

I need money.

Plenty of money

to buy guns and dynamite.

But I still got plans to blow up

your wells. All 18 wells.

You have 18 wells, huh?

Is not true?

I know everything.

I look through big glasses.

How much do you want?

You're a wise man.

You love your oil wells very much.

What will you pay to conserve them?

- Tell him you'll think it over.

- Tell him what I'll do to you.

How much it worth for you if I have

not blow up your well?

Not a peso.

I don't like that answer.

Be careful and not answer

the same way.

You have 18 wells.

I want $1,000 for each well.

Total - $50,000.

I don't know how to add.

$50,000 tonight.

You will bring it here in gold.

Remember, I want gold.

Take your guns with you.

I don't want you to be robbed

when you bring my money.

When are you going to speak?

I'm hungry. Come on,

let's get something.

Marina!

MARINA!

She's never around when you

want her! Come on out the kitchen.

Go ahead. What are you waiting for?

Where's the bottle opener?

I can't find nothing!

I got 100 grand in this house.

I can't even open a bottle!

- Where is everybody?

- They ran away. They're scared.

What are you shaking about?

That stinking bandit

wants 50,000 bucks!

- What do you say, Jeff?

- What are you asking him for?

- Ask me, not him!

- I'd like to hear his opinion!

- What do you say, Jeff?

- I know what he'll say.

"Don't pay. Fight!

Get the wells blown up. "

- Maybe get killed.

- That's right.

It's easy for him.

He's got nothing to lose.

My whole life is wrapped up here!

I don't want it shot from under me.

It wasn't shot from under you

in Nicaragua, and you know why.

Once you start paying,

you can't stop.

He'll let you alone

for 50,000, but for how long?

That he didn't say.

Pay him once,

next time he'll want double.

Can't live with a snake by feeding

him honey. You got to kill him.

We load up a truck with nitro,

drive it into their hide-out.

Blast them off the earth.

Kill them all.

Us, too. Some idea! It stinks.

You're yellow!

You want to fight 'em? You know

where the gun room is! Go ahead!

Why not?

We need a little excitement.

You're going soft,

sitting round pumping oil.

And those pumps drive me nuts!

If we had a shooting,

maybe I'd get some sleep.

I got a bandit on my back

and what am I surrounded with?

A lousy hero and a crazy wife!

- Where are you going?

- To town.

You don't need me

to make up your mind.

- Where does he go in town?

- Who cares? Dutch, somebody.

- Who else does he see?

- Some dame.

Blackjack dealer at the hotel.

What's it to you?

Marina No7 she's blowing wild.

- She's ready to pour the nitro.

- Jeff, where 're you going?

I'll grab the ice truck.

See you there.

- You made your well, like you said.

- Did you get the torpedo out?

It's too late.

Clear the rig! Hurry up!

The nitro catches this gas,

this whole formation will go!

There's nothing

we can do about it.

- We might catch the torpedo.

- Are you kidding? Hurry up!

Come on, Jeff!

Come on, Jeff!

JEFF, ARE YOU CRAZY?!

- What are you doing?

- If you think you can catch it,

...I'll help. Bueno?

- Bueno!

Cool it off and then pull the fuse!

Peter, come on!

Jeff! Jeff!

D'you burn yourself badly?

Peter! Miguel!

Crazy thing to do!

Give me a hand,

let's get him in the car.

You're crazy, Jeff! Plum crazy!

You must like fooling with nitro!

Lucky for me I was here. I've been

pressing my luck too far with you.

All right, Dutchy, all right.

This guy's gonna get himself killed

one of these days!

And when he does, he won't be

enough for a decent burial.

OK, Dutch, OK!

- When are you getting out of here?

- I'm scared to get out of here!

Hanging around with you

is dangerous.

- What'd you have to do it for?

- Because I couldn't.

Now I got no guts.

You're the guy who first pulled

that hot nitro stunt in California.

That was a long time ago.

I'll be seeing you.

What's the matter with Paco?

What's happened to him?

Go on back to bed.

I got to go after him.

Paco! Paco!

Paco!

Jeff!

Jeff, you're all right?

- You're not hurt?
