The Outrage Page #2

Of course, we didn't get a chance to prove

our charges the last time we caught him...

...because he burned down the jail

and escaped.

Maybe we could give him 60 days

as a firebug.

- Just the facts, sheriff.

- The facts.

Well, we know his past record.

Trials, convictions, escapes, facts.

Let's start by proving

his latest outrage wasn't beyond him.

Tell us about the capture.

We'd been combing the countryside...

...the biggest posse I could round up.

Search down in there.

Whoa.

He didn't put up much of a fight.

He got pretty cold feet

for such a hot country.

He was all dirty, muddied up.

Must have been thrown by his horse.

Did you find the dagger,

the murder weapon?

No, it wasn't on him.

We searched everywhere.

Phoo!

We going to listen all day

to this gringo bigmouth.

Gonna tell us what a big hero he is, huh?

All these gringos is big hero

with the mexicanos.

Greaser, you call them.

Kill the greaser,

they don't count like people.

You don't even cut notch in the gun.

- Come on, shoot. Everybody, shoot.

- Hold your fire.

He's just trying to cheat the rope.

S, the rope, she's more pretty, huh?

Put away your guns.

It may not look like it,

but you are in a court of law.

Justice doesn't need a courthouse

or trappings of any kind...

...only order and truth.

Carrasco fall off the horse.

Is no horse alive can throw Carrasco.

Enfermo, I was sick.

You want to know what happen?

I tell you.

He's good horse, that one.

He's strong, fast.

I run him hard.

This water is bad or something.

I ride more till my belly start to hurt bad,

my head.

I don't feel pain like other man.

But this...

He capture me.

Some day,

somebody going to pistol-whip you.

Bluff and blowhard.

They hate to be taken with their boots on.

Are you guilty as accused?

Look, I going to swing from the tree

if I say s, if I say no.

You think the time has come for me

to pay for my crimes, huh?

The ones I done, this ones you think I done,

this ones you afraid maybe I going to do.

So why should I tell you lie, huh?

- S, presidente, it was me who kill the man.

- Why did you commit this murder?

I do not murder, I kill him.

It's big diferencia.

Why?

Because of little breeze.

If not for this breeze,

this man would never be killed.

It was a hot time of day, like now...

...and only the stupid gringos

do not take time out for the siesta.

- What do you want?

- Seor, I...

Excuse me thousand time,

but maybe you like buy old...

No, I'm not interested

in buying anything.

- Oh, but, seor, this is very pretty.

- Whoa.

Don't shoot. I don't hurt nobody.

I just want to show you this.

Look. It very nice.

Fancy, have this red stone, see?

Green stone.

- Looks like ancient Aztec.

- Oh, s, s, that Aztec, Aztec.

How much do you want for it?

I don't know. Fifty cent.

Is too much? I got more.

More?

This... I find lots

of this old thing in this, uh...

This hole, cave.

Is no good for me.

You want, I sell cheap.

- Fine.

- We better go on, dear.

It'll only take a few minutes.

Here, you better hang on to this.

After you.

Well, to me,

killing is not very importante.

I kill to live, to eat.

Have pleasure.

Most of the time, if I capture a woman...

...is better if I kill her man.

But this time, I don't know.

I think maybe if I can take this woman...

...without killing her gentleman,

it would...

Don't be afraid, amigo.

Lucky. You catch Carrasco,

he feeling good.

I don't take all the money, see?

Hey.

Look like you was soldier, eh?

"Confederate...

...colonel."

How do you like that?

Maybe that's why you don't do...

...this estupido thing

with my gun in your back.

I am very impress, colonel.

Your... Your husband, he say wait here.

He's got many thing he have to look at.

There is old statue,

maybe take him long time.

What have you done with him?

I could stop her, but I don't.

That look on her face, these eyes wide.

Make me mad.

I want for her to see him there tied up.

This big colonel.

That's Carrasco, all right.

No mistake about that.

There's a man for you.

Hey, did you hear what happened

a couple of months ago...

...out around Badger Pass?

A woman strays away

from a wagon train...

...with her mother and daughter,

just a little too far.

They were looking for berries.

And what do they find?

Carrasco.

Well, like they say in the melodramas,

there they was in his clutches.

Now, which one of them do you think

got that well-known fate worse than death?

The mother?

The daughter?

The grandma?

All three of them.

- Carrasco's a wild pig.

- Oh, sure.

But how they love it,

especially the ladies.

The highborn ones with the table manners

and the smelling salts.

They see a fella with sweat all over him

and their boilers go steaming over.

I told you not to talk that way

in front of the preacher.

But he says he's giving it up.

If he's gonna be one of us,

he might as well start learning the language.

Okay, okay.

Now let's hear some more, will you?

You know, that story of yours

hots me up more than this crummy fire.

Now, what else did he say, Carrasco?

- Nothing.

- Nothing?

Humbug.

Half the fun of pleasuring a dame

is talking about it afterwards.

Now, he must have said something more.

Didn't he?

He said more.

He said he didn't mean to kill.

All I want was this woman.

I take lots of women.

Not mucha diferencia.

Some, they fight. Some, they don't fight.

But this one, I know she want me.

But when I stand up from her...

Enough.

You cry like baby. I didn't hurt you.

Stop it, I...

Wait.

What you want now?

How can I go on?

How can I live at all,

disgraced like this?

Disgra...?

Lots women is disgraced like you.

They live nice happily.

It don't matter.

You don't see me no more.

I'll always see you.

I'll see it all till the day I die.

At least give my husband a chance

to avenge my honor.

And his own.

I forgot.

Your gentleman coronel

has mucho honor, huh?

Bad day for him,

he cannot fight the duel.

Give him a chance, I beg of you.

If he loses, I'll go with you.

I'll do whatever you say.

Maybe you want for me to kill him.

You like that more better.

I can have hundred woman.

Why I going to take big chance for you?

One live, one die.

He fight pretty good.

Maybe too good.

These gentleman soldiers,

they better fight other gentleman soldiers.

Out here, they got no chance.

But he sure fight pretty good.

What happened to his wife?

She run away, I think.

- I don't look for her.

- He didn't look for her.

Damn right he didn't.

One of these days,

they'll find her face down in the gully.

What do you mean?

Oh, what's another killing

to a butcher like Carrasco?

He didn't kill her.

- He didn't?

- She was at the trial.

At the trial?

They found her up in the woods...

...in a deserted cabin,

near out of her head.

Well...

Her testifying against Carrasco,

that must have cooked his goose in a hurry.

No, it wasn't like that.

- I mean, that's what gives you the willies.
