The Shadow Riders Page #5

[both laughing]

[woman speaking Spanish]

[Hammond chattering]

Colonel, I would like

to see those guns now.

Why, what's your hurry?

Enjoy the festivities.

I have kept my end

of the bargain.

Maana, maana.

Now! I want to see them now!

[gun clicking]

The Major said now.

Right now?

Right now.

You have been double-dealin'

from the start, Colonel.

That's right, Major.

But, you see,

that's the risks you take

when you deal

with the likes of me.

Lock him up.

What the hell's

goin' on here?

Kate's goin' in there

and lend a little comfort

to the prisoners.

Prisoners?

You mean

you want to send her

in there alone?

Well, it's gonna take

at least three of us, Dal.

That's the only way

I know how to get us in.

Why does it have to be Kate?

Well, you'd look

pretty foolish in this getup.

Dal, don't forget

Ashbury's in there.

Now, he knows you

and he knows Jesse.

Now I figure Uncle Jack

knows what he's sayin'.

It's gonna take

three of us inside.

That leaves me,

Jack, and Kate.

Well, Ashbury knows Kate,

too, you know.

Not in that outfit he don't.

I don't want her

goin' in there.

Well, what about what I want?

I've been with this thing

a lot longer than you have.

Heather and Sissy

are in there.

How else

are we gonna get them out?

We'll find another way.

Come on, Dal.

What do you say

let's take a little ride?

Jesse, why don't you

go take that Sharp's

off my horse?

The way this is goin',

you're gonna need it

more than me.

[donkey braying]

Don't go hard on him, Kate.

I'm afraid he inherited

that ornery streak from Pa.

I never seen your pa

ride hard on your ma.

Oh, he tries.

He tries, but she

just fights right back.

Just like you do.

They ended up havin'

a pretty good thing.

That's all I want.

Well, if you can tolerate him,

you'll have it.

Kate, he needs you,

you know that.

You're right, he does need me,

but he doesn't know it.

I think he does.

Hell, you know him

as well as I do. He cares.

I think he cares a lot,

he just...

He--he don't know

how to say it.

Well, isn't it about time

he learnt?

Well, it's not his way,

but I'll tell you somethin',

I'd be willin' to bet,

you stick with him,

he'll learn.

What about you?

Kate,

you sure

you're gonna be all right

goin' in there alone?

Don't worry, Mac.

Even if they find me out,

they probably won't hurt me.

You didn't

answer my question.

What about you?

Goin' in there alone,

I mean, that's risky.

You always do that.

What?

Change the subject

when things get too close.

Oh.

[snickers]

You think

you got me figured out,

don't you?

Well, that's not

gonna work, see,

because

I'm not talkin' about me,

I'm talkin' about Dal.

Now, I think he's actin'

the way he is--

What is it

with you Traven boys?

Oh.

I got the feelin'

you're fixin'

to make a point.

Dal can't say how he feels

about a woman,

and you run from it.

I'm not runnin'.

I mean, Kate,

you know how it is.

You know...

Well, I am runnin',

I'm--I'm runnin' for sheriff.

There is no room

in my life right now

for a woman.

The trouble with you,

Mac Traven,

is you're gun-shy.

Well, let me put it this way.

Somebody like you comes along,

I might consider it.

Now cool down.

[chuckles]

[birds chirping]

It's like

a damn hornet's nest

down there.

If you got a plan, Jack,

you better be

lettin' me in on it.

You know,

you never asked me

how I got this tequila.

How?

Stole it.

Just like I did this.

I got a plan.

Quit worryin' about

that woman, will you?

She's a tough one, and smart.

You know that.

And when the shootin' starts,

she'll be there

to look after the girls.

We'll take care of her, Dal.

That's a promise.

I'm gonna hold you to it.

[hens clucking]

You looking for someone?

I heard at the mission

some women were brought in.

I'd like to see them.

This is not

a good place for you.

Take me to them, please.

Then come.

How you boys doin'?

Haven't seen you

for a while.

Figured either

a lawman or a husband

finally got you.

There's a few of them

chasin' me, I guess.

Who's he?

This is my nephew.

(man)

Go on through.

That wasn't too hard.

Sister, will you pray for me?

Of course, my child.

[men chattering]

I'm Sister Katherine.

Uncle Jack,

now I know you got a plan,

but don't you think

you ought to fill me in?

Here, you might need this.

Kate!

[shushing]

Mac is here.

So's Jesse and Dal.

You mean they're alive?

They're goin' to get you

out of here.

[chain rattling]

You're intruding, sir.

I'm sorry, Sister.

But I couldn't help noticing,

despite the habit,

that you're quite young.

And now

I can't help wondering

what you'd look like

without that outfit.

I am a nun.

Have you no conscience?

Not when

there's a profit in it.

[screams]

Hello, Kate.

Welcome to Mexico.

[all laughing]

You all know what

the old maid said

to the cowpuncher, don't you?

(man)

No.

You tell 'em, Uncle Jack.

Come on, amigos.

It's been a long,

hard trail, and I'm buyin'.

[all cheering]

[men shouting]

Damn, it won't take forever

for that posse to get here.

What're they waitin' on?

Jack said to wait

for his signal.

What signal?

Said we couldn't miss it.

[man speaking in Spanish]

(man)

Come on, amigo!

Hold on. I'll be right there.

[horses neighing]

I reckon

that's Uncle Jack's signal.

I'll take

the one on the left.

Got you.

[guns firing]

Bring her to my car.

Them, too.

(Heather)

No!

[guns firing]

[men coughing]

[men clamouring]

[neighing]

Thanks, Uncle Jack.

Here come Dal and Jesse.

Come on, come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

[grunting]

Tell the engineer

to get movin', now!

[grunting]

I'm gonna get the girls.

(Jack)

Find the girls.

Hi, Uncle Jack.

[hissing]

[squealing]

Where's the Travens?

(women)

On the train.

Get down! Get down!

[train engine chugging]

[neighing]

[panting]

Thank God you're alive.

Get back.

Where's Kate and the girls?

By God, I ought to kill you

for what you done

to my family.

Then do it.

This killin's

got to stop somewhere.

I recall this belongs to you.

Makes us even, Major.

Dal, Hammond's got the girls

and Kate on the train.

[man shouting]

(man)

Looks like somebody

started a war.

[men chattering]

(man #2)

Everybody's dead?

(man #3)

There's gotta be somebody

around here.

[screaming]

(Kate)

Mac, watch out!

Mac, watch out!

[horse neighing]

[train horn blowing]

We'll be getting

into Chihuahua tonight.

Perhaps the day after

you'd care to go on

into Mexico City.

Colonel Hammond,

are you going

to keep the brandy

all to yourself?

Why, no.

No, not at all.

Please sit down.

[men grunting]

[yelling]

Stop this train.

Do it now!

[brakes screeching]

[wheels squealing]

[whistle blowing]

[hens clucking]

[birds chirping]

Whoa, cowboy.

Jack Traven!

[in Spanish accent]

I ain't seen him.

[horse nickering]

[train horn blowing]

[engine hissing]

(Sissy)

Jesse!

[Heather and Sissy laughing]

Jessie!

You all right?

Yes, you?

Stay here.
