Are you the owner?

You know a guy named Sharkey?

Sharkey?

- Yes. His horse is outside.

I don't know...

I don't know him.

Wait.

Fill up my glass.

Hi!

Go and find another customer.

Wait a minute.

You must be mistaking me for someone else.

No...

I'm not mistaken.

I don't know you.

- But I know you.

That's from Wyoming.

I'm not wanted here.

So what?

You think

it'll be easy to take me?

We can try.

You must be

a dangerous man to challenge.

I'd rather go with you.

Tell me where Slim is.

There's only 2.000 dollars

on your head.

We could reach an agreement...

- I'm not interested.

You won't make it over there...

Are you happy with 2.000?

- Yes.

But I need to know

where Slim is.

He was going to rob a bank

in Laredo.

I don't know

where he's heading after.

Tell your friends

they can come out.

You can come out.

He's a friend.

Now that I think about it...

I don't want your money.

Take it!

If I were you

I wouldn't have come out.

You were

much better off hiding.

Sharkey, get ready...

because I'm going to kill you.

Pick it up by the barrel.

Put it in your holster.

Why?

I've told you

I'm willing to surrender.

Los Alamos ranch...

Slim! Slim did it!

Not me...

I didn't do it. I wasn't there.

That's the truth. I'm not lying.

I wasn't there!

I'm telling you I wasn't there.

You have to believe me!

I'm going to kill you anyway.

But...

Hey, Kirchner!

It's me, Sam. Open up!

Hurry up, please!

They're here.

Come down.

I've just seen them.

You're 300 dollars short.

- That's what I pay each month.

We're three now.

I can give you better protection.

If I decide to take on the job

it'll cost you 5.000 dollars.

That's not what we agreed on.

John Sullivan's downstairs.

You've never mentioned him.

Do you know who this is?

Slim Kovacs.

He's offering me 10.000 dollars.

You don't want to deal with him.

He's a murderer!

I don't ask questions.

I want 5.000 in silver coins...

like this one...

Otherwise I'll leave.

No, don't...

I'll get the money.

I'll get it.

Hey, Sam!

Contact the undertaker.

- Who?

Tell him to ask for me.

Tequila, with salt and lemon.

I'm at your service, sir.

I have top quality goods

and they're all guaranteed.

They're very good.

I like them a lot!

Show this to my friends.

Tell them to pick a model.

It's my treat.

And don't worry, it's a joke.

Go on...

- Yes, sir.

Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen...

But your friend over there...

He asked me to let you choose

the model you prefer.

Stay put. It's Kirchner.

Feel free to look.

We offer a wide range of goods.

This is one of our best models.

As you can see

it's lined in red velvet,

and the casket is made

with the best local timbers.

It shows great craftsmanship.

The first model,

made of chestnut,

shows excellent

cabinetmaking work.

The second model

has a metal plaque

where the names of the user's

relatives can be engraved.

All can withstand

the passing of time.

They last a lifetime...

I mean, for eternity.

Our third model is made from

the best wood in Minnesota.

All our merchandise

is top quality.

Our reputation

is your guarantee.

So?

Hey, Kirchner.

Thank you for the present

but we didn't see

any models we liked.

Then I'll choose some

for you myself.

You might have noticed

there are three of us now...

and I'm one of the three.

Yes, I did notice.

You don't seem

very concerned about it.

What if we paid you double

for killing whoever's paying you.

Sullivan, I'm a professional.

This is how I make a living.

Once I'm paid, I keep my word.

And I have no option

but to kill all of you.

I made a promise...

You'll have to murder us.

All right, friends. I'll wait

for a better opportunity.

Kill him,

but let him see your face.

Hi, Uriah.

That guy's intentions

weren't good.

You still have to learn

a few tricks, Kirchner.

If you faced me one day,

I could teach you a few.

I'm looking for a Slim Kovacs.

You know him?

What do you want him for?

- It's a personal matter.

I've never heard of him.

Listen, Uriah,

I'm heading north.

I have good work up there.

Are you going that way?

No, I'm going south.

Bye, old man.

And beware of sombreros.

I'll be seeing you.

Leave the back way.

We'll meet in Jose's hut.

My money?

- We'll divide the money there.

You didn't do

your homework, Mateo.

Wasn't the money inside?

Yes, but so was your friend.

They robbed the bank...

and killed the guard.

Where were you? Why didn't

you say you were leaving?

He's a friend.

I hadn't seen him for years.

I'm sorry about what happened.

- Thank you.

These men arrived at night,

burnt the crops

and then killed the animals.

Sheridan, the banker,

must be behind it.

Where have you been?

- Get ready. We're leaving.

I'll feed the children...

- No, we'll leave now.

Why the hurry, Jose?

They wanted

to kick us off this land.

And they've finally

succeeded.

They should have

just come here and bought it.

We're going back home!

Who's that man

who came with you?

We once worked together.

I met him by a chance.

He's not coming with us, is he?

- No...

I think he wants to buy land

in New Mexico.

He's heading there now.

What is it?

I couldn't have done it.

I didn't kill him.

It must have been Slim...

or Jose, the Mexican.

I was just the lookout.

Where were you going to meet?

Shut up, Luke!

At Jose's ranch.

It's a few miles from here.

Tell the sheriff of Canyon City.

Maybe they've already

left the state with my money!

Don't worry.

They won't make it.

I want to see them

back in town soon.

Don't worry, 5.000 dollars

is a good reward.

Excuse me, sir.

It was me who told Jose

to rob you.

I'm leaving but I'll visit you

when you become

the richest rancher in Sonora!

I'll see you, Slim,

and good luck.

Keep going. I won't be long.

- Where are you going?

Wait for me at the river.

We received

some good news, Slim.

Bank robbery and murder

are the last things you did...

and the last you'll ever do.

Are you so tough now

you ride alone?

Come on, defend yourself!

Draw your gun!

Don't move!

Drop your weapons.

Get up behind me, Slim.

Quick, surround the hill!

Get off, Slim.

The horse can't take us both.

He's in no hurry.

I know this sheriff well.

We should leave

before we're surrounded.

He won't be able

to take us both.

If you're luckier than me...

the money's over there.

Give it to her. Try to ensure

she doesn't find out.

She's waiting for me

down by the river.

He's lost a lot of blood,

but it's not serious.

I took the bullet out.

He'll recover soon.

Thank you, sir.

He was delirious.

He talked about you,

the children...

and a ranch in Sonora.

It wasn't the Lord

who revealed it.

It was man who tried to hide

the words of our Saviour.

The weapons.

Then he ordered them

to cross the desert...

I'm sorry to interrupt,

Reverend.

I came to inform

the parishioners...

that someone you all know

is waiting outside.

You're all going to greet him.

Everybody out!
