-Rodriguez ! Come here

-Hey, you save me some, heh?

I do not know what this man wants in this rain.

Ask her if there is anything more we can

do for the baby.

The baby is dead.

-Well do you think she knows it?

-She knows.

A chant for their own dead.

I think she will let you have the baby now.

-Maybe she'll tell us now.

-What?

Ask her where the trade is going to take place

Even if she knows, she would never say.

Tell her we know about the guns, new

Medicine, her people are going to be given.

Tell her.

Tell her that we had come here

so we can keep her people from getting those guns.

Not because I want my

people to be stronger in war than yours.

We want no war.

None more babies.. our peoples or your peoples

shall ever die like this one day.

When we found her, she said three suns.

There is still time if

the trade of place is not too far.

Ask her.Ask her if she would lead us there.

Will you lead us there?

-Rodriguez is gone.

-Has he now?

He took one of the repeaters too.

-Well, you don't look very surprised.

-Which way did he head?

Wich way would you think he was heading? You brought him along.

-Well, that depends on why Rodriquez left.

He might have decided that this

mission was all over...

...and you wouldn't be needing him no more.

You got two mules to pull this waggon and you

are not going to get very far

It sound like you want out too.

I told you I'd find Pardee.

-When and where you'll find Pardee?

-I can't say.

-Maybe in two more days. Maybe.

-Maybe never.

And if what she says is right, tomorrow

are gonna be too late. The Indians are gonna have those rifles.

-Now why don't you just go back to Presidio.

-Now, you would just like that wouldn't you?

I give my big chance of becoming

a general?

Look Lassiter. I liked what you did back there.

Maybe you did save our lives.

Now, I don't know what you got in mind,

But if you want to get, then just get.

-Now, have you got some idea that she is goinna guide you?

-Well, I don't know.

-But your are going on anyway?

-Yep.

-To do what?

-Do what we came out here to do.

-And you. You are going to go with him?

-Yeah.

Well, are you planning on becoming a general too?

Heh. That really would be something, wouldn't it?

Sergeant. I would be obliged if

you would get me my horse

-Good luck to you !

-Thank you, Sergeant. And good luck to you.

About half a day's ride southwest of here

the Rio Conchos.

If Pardee's is not operating out of Presidio,

the Conchos is a good place to find him.

You get to the Conchos, follow it

downstream about 3 miles past the big bend.

There is a box canyon with live oaks in it.

Makes good hiding place for the waggon.

If I find my Pardee,

I'll bring him to you.

Thanks, Major.

Major!

-And good luck to you, Captain.

-Good luck to you, Major.

Tequila, heh?

-Dinero?

-Si

-Do you know many people here?

-Money! Molto dinero

-You have heard of a man Pardee?

-Never.

He is a gringo. He is very rich.

-I am a gringo myself and I am poor.

-Like me. On the side of my father.

This is all I have to remember him by

It is bery nice, no?.

Look. Solid gold.

And this was Mother's.

She was a very nice lady, my mother.

The chain is of gold too.

They are all gold. Nice, heh?

Senor, do you want something to eat?

Isabel !

Give something nice to this hombre to eat, huh?

Do you want something else, senor?

No I do not wish to sell such fine things

for a plate of beans.

We will serve you up stairs, senor.

-Anita !

-Una momento!

-Pronto!

Take a shot of tequila. Go on!

It would be a pleasure to

be your guest...

-.. if I did not have to find this Pardee.

-Pardee?

-Si.

It seems to me I've something about such a man

.

-Wait.

-Si. I wait.

You were right.

There is such a man.

-But on a night like thist, it will gonna

take some time to find him

-Oh I'll wait.

Upstaris. Make yourself comfortable.

( Pusti! He chose me !

-How? I saw him first. )

( I am beautiful. Thin. -It

cow. Skinny Cow... ). Maybe !

-Tell me something, do you think she is too skunny this one?

-Take them both !

-What are you waiting for, amigo?

-Of course !

-Jim!

-Chico !

-I see that gun and thought it was the crazy one here.

-Crazy one?

-He is upstairs. Come on sit down.

I'll buy you a drink, huh?

-What brings you here in the middle of such a night?

-Business.

-With Pardee?

-Now how did you know?

-Tonight, everbody is trying to find Pardee.

-Including the crazy ones? Mexican

speaks english, got a rifle like this?

-Yes. If it's going to be any shooting, Jim

-What are you talking about. He is

my partner. I sent him on ahead.

-Where is Pardee?

-His man is gonna be here soon

-In that case I'll better wake that one up.

He did not go to sleep. Hey Anita!

Theres is not one, Theres is two, Jim!

Mi amigo! Come on up and bring a bottle !

-He never told me once that he had a partner.

-He is very careful man!

That's why I picked him. Pardees man gets here

you call me.

Come in!

-I missed you this morning.

-Oh, you did not think I deserted you?

To my fathers honor, whoever he was.

Believe me, amigo. It was my plan

to share with you

Just like now. Which one of these beauties

do you like?

Come on, Anita.

This is better than being

the capitaine. That loco.

You fooled me with that giving your word, amigo.

Well, I said that were going to bring his waggon to Pardee

Thats what we are doing, aren't we?.

Hey stop it you drive me crazy. How much do

you think it is worth? 50 barrels of gunpowder, heh?

About hundred american dollars a piece.

-And we will share?

-Just like brothers.

We will drink to it, amigo.

Amigo, who would have thought the night we got out

of jail...

...that we would be here

like... a rich man,heh?.

But I knew. You remember,

the time with a rope almost around my neck

I said that my luck had changed

We donn't have the money yet.

But we will. Tomorrow or the day after.

The waggon is where we can find it, yes?

And the captain. And Franklyn.

You did not kill them?

You left and they just let you go?

I told them to was gonna find

Pardee.

You told them were gonna find Pardee?

Lassiter, you and I.

We will live like kings.

If we sell the waggon instead of

blowing it up.

To.. to blow it up?

-Everyone but us.

-Why should we do such a thing?

You make a joke, heh?

What do you think?

-I think you're trying to fool me, amigo

-Rodriguez...

Tell me something. Just one time in your life

did you ever think about doing something for somebody else,

...somebody besides Rodriguez?

-Si. For you, amigo. For you

You did fool me, amigo.

and I was wrong about the good omen.

I remember now.

When I said meeting you again

had changed my luck

And you said..for the worse!

The americano. Pardee's friend.

Well now, you must be Lassiter.

-Who are you?

-That's Pardee's man. New one

-This Mexican I was sent here to see?

-We had a slight disagreement.

I dissolved the partnership and I
