Mr Tanner would like that,

especially if he'd done anything to you.

He done anything to you?

All right, now, you just stay put, ma'am.

Don't let on nothing.

Jesus Christ, I'm hit!

Hey, don't shoot!

Hey, don't shoot!

I'm coming out!

I'm coming out.

Don't...

No, please.

They're going to shoot.

No.

- This one for Diego.

- No, I saved you!

I cut you loose. Yes, I did.

I cut you loose from them poles.

How in the hell

do you think you got loose?

Look at your wrist. That one.

The scar, where my knife slipped

cutting the ropes.

Look at it!

Get on your horse!

- Did you fire at them?

- Yes, sir.

- Hit anybody?

- I don't think so.

- But you might have.

- Yes, sir.

You could have killed my woman.

We lost five. You shoot him,

that's six, the same as Valdez kill.

How many you want to kill for that man?

As many as it takes.

Instead of shoot him,

I make him ride point.

That way he's the first one Valdez will see.

I got to get loose somehow.

Crazy bastard's gonna kill me.

Why? You cut him loose.

He's a killer, lady. You know

how many men he killed the last two days?

You don't know him, lady.

- Mr RL Davis.

- Huh?

Come here.

I want you to go down there,

by the big rock.

What do you want me down there for?

I want to see you in front of me.

- What if they come?

- They're already coming.

- I don't see nothing.

- Take my word.

- You think you can make a stand here...

- By the rock.

Please.

They will see this. Go behind the rock.

Are you going to make a stand here?

I'm just going to slow them down.

Sharps.

Or some kind of buffalo gun.

Or a cannon.

He can shoot,

and he know when to move...

and we have lost five more.

- You ain't gonna find your way in this.

- It will be the same for Frank Tanner.

You know how many men

he got to work through here?

- Not so many now.

- He don't care how many men you kill.

He don't care you kill her.

- Tell him.

- Tell who what?

Frank Tanner -

he comes alone with $100, or I kill her!

You ain't going to shoot me in the back?

We camp here.

Hey!

Mr Tanner! Mr Tanner!

Mr Tanner!

You're not going to kill me.

That was a bluff, wasn't it?

But they'll kill you.

Send me back.

You didn't kill that black man. I did.

I let Frank send me

back to the hotel that day.

I could have stayed and stopped it.

You tell me Frank Tanner

don't kill your husband.

And when I say the black man don't,

you say, "I know."

You know who kill him?

You know who kill him.

Who kill your husband?

Tell me.

Who kill him?

Who kill him?

I did.

No!

- What?

- Nothing.

I just got done telling you

everything he told me.

- How's Mrs Erin?

- She looked just fine.

- I mean, he ain't hurt her any.

- He keep her tied?

- Yes, sir.

- Or she'd run off?

Yeah, you bet she would.

- You think he'd kill her?

- With this one, you can never tell.

Goddamn it!

You got any ideas?

I could ride all night, around the fog,

maybe I get up above him by morning.

- You coming up behind.

- If he holds put till then.

He's got to wait for this fog to lift,

same as any man.

He don't do like any man.

Some things.

He took a woman along, huh?

Miguel! Vamos!

Is he coming?

- He's coming.

- But not alone.

No, not alone.

- What's out there?

- The pass.

If I could reach there,

an army don't find me.

- You've been there before?

- Many years ago, chasing Apache.

But now I think there is

somebody else out there. El Segundo.

I can smell him.

I should have keep moving last night,

fog or no fog.

You can go.

You know something?

I would liked to have gotten the $100

for the Indian woman.

I'd like to see Frank pay it.

You all right? Can you stand?

- You like tobacco?

- No.

Tell me something.

Who are you?

I told you once before. Bob Valdez.

You know something, Bob Valdez,

you hit one, I think, 700, 800 yards.

Closer to 1,000.

- What was it? Sharps?

- My own load.

- You ever hunt buffalo?

- Apache.

I knew it. When?

Before I know better.

- You know how many dead we got?

- 11.

- You count, huh?

- You bet.

- You hurt bad?

- No.

You better come over here.

We can talk about it when we get home.

I'm not going home.

Is she better than your Indian squaw?

Tell your whore to move over.

Move over, please.

Little bit more.

Any last words?

- $100.

- Crazy bastard.

Kill him!

Segundo.

She's not my woman.

I ain't got no gun.

Toms! Vete a casa, no es para ti.

- No es para ti.

- Toms! Estn libres.

- What are you saying?

- I tell them to go home.

I hire them, I fire them.

Goddamn it!

I'm talking to all of you!

I'm ordering you to kill him!

Seor Tanner...

I have an idea.

You have a gun in your holster.

You shoot me.

- Next time.

- No.

I should have killed you three days ago.

Or gone to Nogales.

Or paid the $100.
