Guns of the Magnificent Seven

---

- Where is the meeting?

- In the... church.

Is Quintero with them?

Yes.

Columnal Derechal

(in Spanish) Forward!

Senor Quintero...

...for three years, they have

heard nothing but talk.

Now, when are we

going to do something?

When are we going to get

the soldiers off our necks?

Soon, my friend.

Soon. But first, we must grow strong.

In one week I go to Sonora

to meet with the revolutionary council.

If I can show them

the support of the people...

...and the young fighters in the hills...

...they promise that the generals

sympathetic to our cause...

...will come over to our side.

The presidente will run

before our strength.

Then you will be free to live

as men, and not as animals.

- And what about Lobero?

- He is a bandit and a thief.

It's hard to respect the law when

you feel the heel of its boot on your back.

I'm not sure that what Lobero wants from

the revolution is the same as we want.

But he says he wants to help.

And he has many guns.

Do you trust him?

Only his guns.

For the revolution I would make

a bargain with the devil...

...so why not with Lobero?

Let him join us. Perhaps,

after we win, he will change.

Oh. It is time for me to go.

Senor Quintero.

Please, be careful, huh?

You took a big chance just coming here.

In these days, one takes a chance

every time he wakes up in the morning.

(gunshots)

Quintero! We are waiting!

It's Diego. They're all over the place.

Benito?

- Is he dead?

- He's dead.

- I told you we should have brought guns.

- Guns? What guns?

(Diego) Quintero!

It is useless to resist.

We must wait for our time.

Take this. It will help.

Somehow, I don't know how...

...we will be together, eh?

If I live.

You will live.

(Diego) Quintero!

I do not like to be kept waiting!

Look at your leader.

El palomito. The little dove

who would be an eagle!

Take a good look.

You will not see him again.

This... this is who you follow,

but you go nowhere.

He talks... oh, how he talks,

but he does not fight.

Must we teach you again and again -

to resist the president only brings death?

Will you never learn?

Tie them up.

They have done nothing.

Why make them suffer because of me?

Perhaps you are right. They do nothing on

the farms. They will do nothing in prison.

We are short on rations,

so why feed stupid mouths?

(yelling)

(yelling)

(anguished cries)

(snoring)

Lobero.

(in Spanish) Lobero.

Wake up, man. Lobero.

- It's me, Maximiliano.

- Hm?

- What happened?

- Quintero's been captured.

Argh!

The little dove is in the rathole!

(gunshots)

I told you not to let him come.

Nobody listens to Lobero.

Now we will have to get him out.

Tomorrow.

But every time we do, we don't.

But every time we do, we don't what?

Every time we go in, we don't come back.

Two brothers I have lost,

trying to get your uncle out.

He's right, Lobero.

We're going to need some help.

Need help... I have men. I have guns.

- That's not enough.

- It's not enough?

- You have a plan?

- I know someone who can help us.

Someone who can help us.

Who is this great genius, this great man?

I have never seen him. All I know is

that he's a friend and his name is Chris.

And he will help us because he love us?

- No, no. For money.

- For money?

- How much money?

- $600.

$600?

- American?

- American.

You have the money?

What do you think, Miguel?

- I think...

- Ah! I don't care what you think.

OK. All right.

Maximiliano...

...you go, but you better come back...

...with the cannons and the guns and the

dynamite and the whole shooting match.

Hang him!

You got anything to say, stranger?

I said it all at my trial.

You didn't believe me then.

String him up! Kill the horse thief!

You, uh... you wanna know

my name before you hang me?

Not particularly. Just your last words.

- I demand a re-count.

- We've been all through that before.

It was your word against the Garrett boys,

three of the finest men I know...

...born and bred right here in this town.

Three of the finest liars you know?

Stealing a man's horse in this country

is worse than stealing his wife.

There's been too much of this thing

going on and I'm going to put a stop to it.

Horse stealing or wife stealing, Judge?

Let's get on with it.

I got some steers want brandin'.

All right, boys. Get on with it.

I'm a reasonable man, Judge.

Give him a re-count.

All right, Coley. Whatever you say.

Everybody in favour of

hanging him, say "aye".

- Aye!

- Against?

No.

And who says no?

- Me.

- Just who are you to say no?

Who do you have to be

to say no to a rigged court...

...stretching the neck of some poor slob?

And what would you suggest?

Well, she's just another horse.

She's nothin' special.

She... he could be anybody's.

This man says it's his, huh?

This man says it's his.

- One of them's a liar.

- You better prove I'm a liar.

- I can't do that.

- Then who can?

The horse.

It's all right with me, Judge. Take

the horse out in the middle of the street.

Come on, horse.

Come on. Come on, horse.

Come to Daddy.

Come on, Billy-boy. Come on.

Billy-boy. Come on, Billy-boy.

Come on, Billy-boy.

Yeah, come on, fella.

Come on, Billy-boy. Come over here.

Come on.

Come on, Billy-boy. Come to Daddy.

That's it. Come on, Billy-boy. Come on.

Come on, fella. Come on.

Yeah, attaboy. Yeah, yeah.

(Judge) Well, that's fair and square

and good enough for me. Case dismissed.

We'd better get outta here

before they wise up.

(Coley) Hold it, you two!

I'm overrulin' the judge.

There's somethin' real snaky goin' on.

I know you, Chris.

A lot of people know you.

Mostly sheriffs.

That's my horse.

I want him.

And I'm gonna have him.

I'll count to three.

They'll draw on two.

One...

...two...

Let's go.

That's my horse! Let's get after them!

Is that your horse?

Nope.

Coley's the thief. Stole my horse

in Dodge. Rigged faro game.

So you stole his, huh?

Yeah.

Well, that's only fair.

You didn't really have to

call me a poor slob, did you?

(Chris laughs)

Name's Keno.

I like that better than "poor slob".

I know you from someplace.

Fresno, Laramie, St Joe.

You ever been a lawman?

- I just got out.

- For what?

No questions.

No questions.

(horse approaches)

Hello, Chris.

It sure seems to be my day for strangers.

Oh, you were magnificent.

Both of you.

There you were,

standing on the scaffold...

...alone and friendless...

...and the crowd is yelling

"Kill him! Kill him!"

But you stand there, ready to die.

Proud and defiant and unafraid.

And suddenly there's a voice.

"No."

And Chris, Chris steps forward.

As cool as the other side of the pillow.

One man against a thousand.

Chris, I'm so glad I follow you.

My cousin said to me "Find a man.

He's called Chris, and he will help you."

- Who's your cousin?

- In Mexico everyone is a cousin.

And all the cousins are

in trouble now. Big trouble.

Angel Quintero has been captured.

He is our only leader.

With him we are something.

Without him we are nothing.
