Today, n addition to talking with you.

By their ways, I see that

You better watch out

with the back, kid.

Am I'll take care of this type

of thing here.

Well..

maybe have the chance

trying.

You know where I can find

Dad Longworth?

- Stay away.

Some 16 km from the city,

toward the beach.

His is the first house

on the west side of the hill.

Dad, we have visitors.

Someone's coming.

Honey, give me my holster,

"Do not worry. Give me.

Glad you came.

Is there something you wanted to tell you

long ago.

How about a drink?

Very good.

"You look good.

- Yes, I'm fine.

Stay will.

Remember the last time

we had to split one?

Of course I remember.

It was there n the mountains...

when we get stuck

up there, remember?

- There are five years.

- Exactly.

Yeah, right,

about five years.

I think he was wondering why

never showed up with horses.

Yeah, I thought about it.

You know, it was nine days away.

I thought I had drunk too much

and forgotten...

or had not had time...

No I do not forgot, Kid.

But there was nothing

I could do.

When I arrived at the ranch

there were no horses.

And the Mexicans did not speak English

and when understood, said...

had old the horses

few weeks earlier.

I took our horse, I made it

and went toward him.

But when I arrived at the Canyon

I saw men everywhere.

I was hiding

until dark.

I came a close a I could,

to where the horse could go.

I was hidden n the canteen...

I gave a little gold

to silence the man from the bar.

There was not much there,

if I remember correctly.

Enough to go through

the border and come here.

Here n Monterrey.

I thought it best to stay out

movement until...

until all the scroll

Mexico was forgotten.

So far I am clean.

Clean enough to have been

elected sheriff.

Knowing me the way

a I was...

could not blame him

not to believe.

But if you're looking for a time

to avenge what I did...

I will feel very

therefore, Kid.

But if you want, tell them how

and where they want to fight.

I will face it.

You gotta go, Dad.

No need to worry

what happened to me.

I was also hidden

until it was dark.

When I saw the captain

and soldiers...

They also failed to

find me.

Thereafter, they were only

women, drinks e... game.

Are you sure that was it, Kid?

Well, you know me, Dad.

If unsure of this...

we were exchanging bullets

with one another outside.

It was difficult to accept

at the time...

but that was 5 years ago.

A man can not be

angry for five years.

Can?

- Know what to do?

- No.

Will stay for dinner.

Hey, Dad, I...

gotta go,

was only passing through...

came to say hello, but there are people

waiting n the city.

Let me worry

with it.

I do not know. Better

think about it because...

I'm still n business.

I want you to know

my family.

- Right.

- Great.

Come on.

Just a minute, Kid.

Mary!

I want you to know

an old friend of mine.

Mary!

Hello

You are waiting for my father?

Yes.

- Do not want to sit?

- Yes, I do.

It is a friend I want

who knows.

Glad you're here.

Rio, I want you to know

my whole family.

My wife, Mary.

Luiza-This is my stepdaughter.

Very pleased.

I love her like

my own daughter.

- Great.

- We are happy.

- Do not want to bother.

There is some discomfort.

Whether you wash?

Yes.

Take his hat.

Father Almighty...

thank food

we will receive.

We offer our

humble thanks...

and ask for a blessing

food we eat.

Pity those who

nothing, Jesus, amen.

Never heard you pray

before the rank, Dad.

Do you know

long?

Dad and I have

a long history.

I was just a kid

when...

when Dad got me.

I never heard

talk to you.

We were half looters.

When he was

on the other side, no?

All right, Kid, you all know

already walked outside the law.

We were a good match,

enjoyed ourselves.

Everything was reason to laugh, Dad.

They could have cut

our heads or...

could have ended

n jail or something.

He was lucky.

"Only luck, huh?

- Yes.

Of course that was

long ago.

They were bank robbers,

Mr. Rio?

Yes, m'am.

And your father here.

But no more.

Not anymore.

Will stay n Monterrey

long?

Enough to fix

my horse and do some things.

And then where are you?

I do not know, Mrs. Longworth.

I thought about going to Oregon.

There is plenty of land there,

I would like to take a look.

Will be here

for our party?

When?

Tomorrow till night.

And you can not buy

horseshoes for horse...

because everything is closed.

I mean barber shop, saddlery,

bank... everything?

The bank, everything is closed.

So why not stay here?

He heard the young man.

He goes to Oregon.

You know, I can postpone

by one or two days.

Do not expect much, Kid.

It's just a street dance.

Should be sufficient

to entertain a man.

So you stay?

Well, from a young

so adorable...

I do not know if I can

decline the invitation.

Yes, I'll stay.

... And it's really true.

Do not know about you, kid...

but it was a great day for me.

For 5 years

I have lived with it.

I'm happy for everything

has ended.

I bet you do.

Good party, Dad.

- Thank them for me.

- Thank.

Good night, River

Thanks for coming.

The pleasure was mine, Dad.

Good night.

I think I have the right

to know where you stood.

I know our business

include not knowing where to walk.

Do not have any right to know.

A long a I understand.

Not ridden 1500 km

to return empty-handed.

Could not get into

bank before the day after tomorrow.

What about Longworth?

I'm not thinking of him.

When the bank open

I'll kill him.

Welcome party...

hope you

have fun.

Every year we do this party.

Remember that all

we are neighbors, friends.

I also want to take advantage

the opportunity to thank...

having been elected sheriff

once again.

I want you to know

Guy Trosper

Guy Trosper (March 27, 1911 – December 19, 1963) was an American screenwriter. He came to prominence in Hollywood because of his scripts for two baseball movies: The Stratton Story in 1949, a big hit for James Stewart, and The Pride of St. Louis in 1952, for which he received an Academy Award nomination. This led him into a highly fertile creative period, during which he wrote the screenplays for Elvis Presley's breakout hit Jailhouse Rock in 1957, the complex western One-Eyed Jacks in 1961, and Birdman of Alcatraz in 1962, which he also produced. Trosper's last screenplay before his premature death was an adaptation of John le Carré's 1963 novel The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. The film was released in 1965; Trosper (posthumously) and co-writer Paul Dehn received a 1966 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. more…
