Easy, hey! Easy!

What's wrong, boy?

Hello?

Get away from that boy!

No!

- The boy. The boy.

- He's fine. He's fine.

It's okay. It's okay.

You go get our people back.

God don't care who you were, son.

Only who you are.

Dog?

Come on, boy!

Where are you?

Tracks are good. It's headed north.

Where's the men?

They run off. Goddamn cowards.

I can't find the dog.

We ain't waiting for him.

He's run off or dead. Let's go.

Hey. Hey. Wait.

Aren't we gonna

say some words over him?

Only one who knows what to say

is in the ground.

Ain't it enough we took the time

to put him there?

No. No, it's not enough.

You go ahead.

Lord...

If there is such a thing as a soul

this man had a good one.

Please protect it.

Made me feel better.

World was a better place

for having him.

Dust to dust, amen. How was that?

Good words.

What are you all choked up about?

I'm worried about my grandpa.

Look. When I was only just

a little bit older than you are now

all this was Mexico.

Word come that the Apaches was riding

towards a settlement called Arivaca.

My father wanted me to be a man,

so he made me ride out with

the garrison, banging on a drum.

Boy, was I scared.

Well, we got there, it was too late.

They were all dead,

the place was all burnt down.

This one settler fella

came crawling out of a burning cabin.

He was bad.

He knew he was gonna die.

Burnt bad.

He rolled over,

looked up into my eyes,

and he said, "Kill me."

What did you do?

I took this knife off his belt

and I slit his throat.

Take it.

Be a man.

That's a little rough, isn't it?

He means well.

I got him.

The tracks are closer together.

He's slowing down,

headed to that canyon.

Put your hands up in the air!

That means you, too, pretty lady.

This is what they call a hold-up.

Welcome, everybody. Welcome.

Boss?

Boss, is that you?

Lonergan?

What in the hell are you doing here?

Who are your amigos?

Is this your new gang, Jake?

I never thought I'd see you again, Jake.

You were always my favorite.

Shut up.

Damn it.

Jake? Did you break my tooth?

Would you shut up? I'm thinking.

How many boys we got left?

About the same.

Which is?

Thirty?

That's right. Thirty.

Good.

- That's good.

- Yeah.

You're gonna bring me to the camp.

It's time to set things straight.

We're gonna go to the camp!

How's the haul?

Vulture Mine gold. Looking pretty rich.

- How much dynamite we get?

- We got 50 sticks or so.

Dolan!

About time you got back.

What the hell happened to you?

He did.

Well, sh*t.

You got some balls

riding back in here

like nothing ever happened.

Boys! Grab your guns. We're riding out.

Boys aren't going anywhere with you,

Jake.

We're fixing to rob us a coach.

And that's exactly what we're gonna do.

Are you her?

Am I who?

The whore that Jake quit this gang for.

You watch your mouth.

Or what?

I run this outfit now.

Put your guns on the whore!

If he so much as twitches,

blow her brains out of her ear.

He said the whore.

You call her a whore again,

it'll be the last word you ever say.

You ain't in no position

to make threats, boyo.

Hunt, take his gun.

Take his gun!

Sorry, Jake.

Where's our gold, Jake?

I don't remember.

Well, I do remember

you telling us you was leaving us

high and dry because of some woman.

I guess you just left out the part about

taking all of our gold from that last job?

So I'm gonna ask you one last time.

Where is it, Jake?

Demons.

What's that?

Demons took your gold.

When you get to hell

you can ask for it back.

Kill the whore.

I told you not to call her that.

Everybody!

Drop 'em!

I said drop 'em!

Not fun, is it?

You know, that wasn't very nice.

On your horses!

Go!

Jake, Jake, Jake. Don't forget your gun.

You'll always be my favorite.

- Mount up!

- Ride!

- They're here!

- Move out!

Come on!

Okay. I got you!

I got you!

Can you swim?

Oh, God.

Turn your head!

You all right?

Let's get in.

We were flying.

Yeah!

I don't want to do that again.

No.

Hey.

Hey, you stay with me.

Keep talking.

You remember now, don't you?

What?

The woman.

Did you love her?

You can tell me.

I can't remember.

I must've.

All I know is I owe it to her

to find her.

Watch out. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I got you.

I got you.

It's not far now.

You and me,

we're gonna be just fine.

Is that...

Is that them?

Boss?

- I got her.

- Give her to me, Nat. Bring her here.

- Here. Drink.

- No. Give it to her. Give it to her.

Doc?

How is she?

She's gone, pal.

No. No, she's not gone.

She's not. She's not gone!

Jake.

She's gone.

- Doc!

- Don't touch him!

Doc!

This is Black Knife.

The last of his people.

There's no reasoning with them.

We're all gonna die anyway.

This is what's left of the Chiricahuas.

Good riddance to 'em!

He's saying the white people,

they brought all this evil to his people.

We brought evil? Evil was here!

You're the evil one!

He's saying we brought the monsters.

We didn't bring the monsters.

Tell him they took our people, too!

Tell him they took my wife!

Shut up!

There's no reasoning with them!

Tell him what I said, Nat!

Kill us now!

I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell you.

Are you one of them?

No. I'm from a different place.

I took this form

so I could walk among you.

You should have told me.

I didn't know if I could heal this body,

if I would wake up.

He wants to know where you're from.

What'd she say?

She says she came from a place

above the stars.

What does that mean? Another world?

What do you mean?

What does that mean? What?

He says you shouldn't talk.

What do you mean I shouldn't talk?

I got questions...

You're a guest of the chief.

Now I'm a guest? I thought

I was a prisoner! What the hell am I?

Enough! All right. You're both big men!

Great warriors!

Can we just listen to the woman

tell her story?

Or whatever she is?

What are they doing here?

They want gold.

Well, that's just ridiculous.

What are they gonna do,

buy something?

It's as rare to them as it is to you.

What about my grandpa?

What about my wife? What about

the other people? Are they still alive?

If they are, they won't be for long.

They're studying your weaknesses.

These are just scouts.

If we let them leave, they'll come back

with more and there will be no survivors.

That's what they did to my people.

I came here to make sure

it would not happen again,

but we have to work together.

He says his people will join her.

What do you mean, join her?

What's she going to do?

Where you going to go?

We can find them.

He knows where they are.

No, I don't.

I can't remember anything.

I couldn't even remember my own name.

He says they will take care of that.

I brought the gold.

Into the house.

That's why she died.

It's not your fault.

I know where they are.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

How did they build something like that?

They arrived in it. It's their vessel.

That's only the top.

The rest is underground.

It's how they mine for gold.

So there is gold here.
