"I kissed at last the beloved ground of my land," "That i left one day with my hard heart full of pain." "I have looked in the faces of my old friends," "But nobody looked at me as my old friend." "And now what happens you must, you must tell me." "You must remember who I am." "If you see a man with downcast eyes and ragged clothes," "Walking through your village, don't shun him but go at his side." "I'm that man and now i beg you, help me, I need you," "I need you." "The liar who told my sweetheart I was dead," "To take my place, he shall pay for this base lie." "Those who saw me as a rundown man," "Those who tried to destroy all our world," "Shall i leave forever our beloved land," "Because we are fearless men." "Jeremiah," "Jeremiah Pitt!" "Hello, Captain, what can i do for you?" "Jeremiah, what's the matter something gone wrong with your memory." "Don't you, don't you recognize me?" "Yes, of course, we met in Mexico, seven or eight years ago." "If i'm not mistaken." "So much has happened since then, you know." "Who can remember everything and everybody." "How about a drink or two, Captain?" "Are you going back to Mexico?" "Oh, I'm heading south." "Is there a town around here where i can sleep tonight?" "There is "Membres"." "it's about the closest place though they have much of an Hotel there." "Membres?" "I used to know someone who lived in Membres." "Ithink his name was Brown, Montgomery Brown, but they called him Ringo." "May be you know him." "Montgomery Brown, of course i do or i used to, but he's been gone a long time now." "As soon as the war broke out he enlisted and went away." "No one knows what happened to him." "He never came back?" "He was married if i recall correctly." "Maybe his wife would like to talk with someone who remembers her husband." "She might even know of a place when i can spend the night, if i can't find a hotel room somewhere." "Mrs. Brown's name is Hally, isn't it?" "Who were these two and what did they have against me?" "They work for pako Fuentes, or they did." "He and his brother took over the town, when old was discovered around here." "They say it's Mexican territory, and no one wants to tell them any different." "And what happened to Hally?" "I need some herbs." "it's for a sick friend." "You said it was for a friend." "You can keep your money." "There is somebody lying out in the street." "it looks like he needs help." "The only help he needs at this point;" "is a pine box." "Hey!" "You!" "Where are you from, where's your home?" "The mountains." "Looking for a job?" "Not today." "I've already eaten." "What are you anyway?" "Gringo, Indian or Mexican?" "That's his trouble with all those men tramping in and out of his house." "Probably his own mother couldn't tell you." "Welcome to Membres, stranger." "What kind of a job did you want?" "Anything that is not too hard." "Then just ask for Fuentes." "They are at the old Brown place." "Now they give the orders out there." "You know how to kill?" "They'll hire you right away." "But i don't know anything about guns, sheriff." "Well it's time you learn." "And you'd better start carrying a gun, if you want to live very long around here." "Take my word for it i know" "You look nice and heal thy." "So how come you never packed one?" "in my case it's different." "I'm not a Mexican, I am an American." "An inferior race, and when you are inferior you live much longer in Membres without a gun." "What do you want?" "Work." "The sheriff seemed to think I'll find the job with the Fuentes." "Job?" "You've changed your mind already." "I know." "Because now i'm hungry." "That's why i came here." "You don't mean it." "Help yourself." "Eat it!" "Come on!" "All right." "Now you get out." "I don't like beggars around my place." "Although it may seem odd." "To my friend my name is Morning Glory." "Yesterday the flowers weren't at all well, so i sat up with them all night." "Well, they've better now they've responding." "Do you like flowers?" "Let me show you this variety, it's one i bred." "It's named for the Brown." "That used to be the leading family in town." "I owe all this to them." "Especially to miss Haley." "Are you just passing through?" "Yes i was, but now i changed my plans." "You're staying here in Membres." "You like the flowers, you don't carry a gun." "You want to stay in Membres." "You must be crazy." "Where are you going to live?" "You can stay with me if you can't find anything better." "Thank you, that's mighty nice for you Morning Glory." "You can give me a hand, there's plenty of work to do." "Watering the flowers." "Say, somehow, I feel i know you." "Oh!" "That just because I'm so ordinary." "I always remind people of someone they know." "You see those flowers." "Oh, oh, my poor flowers." "I left them for just a few minutes, they must be lonesome." "Hello' Morning Glory." "Good afternoon Rosita, here's your rose, waiting for you." "What a handsome man." "Who are you?" "I don't remember seeing you before." "That's cause i just come here." "I'm a cousin of Morning Glory; a very distant cousin." "Come and see me." "I'll tell you what the cards say." "I can see what lies ahead." "It'll amuse you." "What more do you want out of life." "Now i remember of course!" "Yes indeed, my uncle Al fonso." "Remarkable family resemblance" "But exactly how are we related?" "Let's go inside, I'll explain afterwards." "Oh, I'm sorry for you, but it can't be helped." "I've got to make a few more wreaths for poor Judge Barnes, who got killed yesterday." "Or he'll be completely forgotten." "Good night." "Don't let the bugs bite." "You can help me arrange an important wreath for an important man." "Killed by people who want to be important." "I'll be happy to help you." "A splendid wreath!" "Only, it has no inscription on it." "Put it over there." "I hear that you've got a job now." "You would have been better off with the Fuentes." "But you seem to prefer picking posies with Morning Glory." "Doesn't show much ambition on your part, does it." "Well, I'm still new around here and I'm entitled to a few mistakes." "Nobody wants to die, sheriff but to be afraid means dying every day." "A man who isn't afraid can only die once." "I don't have my gun." "Would you shoot an unarmed men?" "Something must have started this killing." "Gold was discovered, and that's what." "Didn't take long for word to get around." "Once there's talk of a big gold strike, It brings men from even the most distant parts of the country." "It was very easy for the Fuentes brothers to come here." "Mexico is next door." "Why has someone tried to stop them?" "Oh afraid you very fear?" "Sure they afraid." "Now they are, I mean before, first came to town. why weren't they stopped." "There was nobody left here." "The young men were away fighting." "When the war ended a few of them tried to return." "But one by one they were ambushed and murdered even before they got chance to get back to town." "After that there wasn't much point in resisting." "The Fuentes left no one alive but a few old men." "Some of them tried to fight back." "First of the brave ones was Senator Brown." "The last was the Judge, and you saw what happened to him." "How did the Senator die?" "Did they kill him?" "Some say he died of a broken heart." "Ah it was broken alright." "They fired several lead bullets right into it." "He was brave the Senator." "It's too bad, his son never returned." "On the other hand it's just as well this way." "it's all for the best." "What do you mean?" "There'd have been trouble." "His wife wasn't exactly lonely." "I'll see you in the morning." "Good night and sweet dreams." "Come dear, I told you to stay close to the carriage." "I'm coming!" "Whose buying the drinks?" "Don't you like women?" "Or am i making it too easy for you." "When a man refuses a woman." "Then there he isn't a man, or he's thinking of someone else." "Sometime it's better not to keep secrets." "The cards will give you away." "They always tell the truth." "Esteban" "I have just been insulted." "Please, wait a minute before you kill a man." "A dead man won't be very amusing." "It's much more fun to frighten him to death." "I'm so impressed with way you fought." "The sheriff helped me to carry you up to my room." "Morning Glory would probably fainted if he saw you in this condition." "I can't quite figure you out." "Esteban was about to kill you." "And yet obviously you weren't afraid." "You know at first I thought it was on act." "Since most men are afraid." "I'm not sure i like such bravery." "You were badly out numbered and yet you kept on." "You might have used the gun you keep in your shirt." "Let's find out what the cards say." "Your gun is in the top drawer." "You may take it, if you want to." "But it will be alright where it is until the morning." "Don't go you'll be safer here with me." "Here you are at last!" "Where did you sleep last night?" "What in there?" "Explain that." "I'll explain afterwards." "What's that?" "Has someone else been killed?" "It's Brown a terrible loss." "Montgomery Brown." "They called him Ringo." "He came back." "Well we've got work to do." "Come on let's go." "Pako Fuentes has ordered a funeral;" "no one will forget." "Montgomery Brown is dead." "We won't see him again." "May he rest in peace." "As we live in peace." "The bible reminds us that we are all poor creatures, made of dust and we return to dust." "Bless the Lord your humble children and bless the bread we are about to eat." "Given us by your divine grace." "Amen." "Thank you Morning Glory for the splendid flowers." "I'm happy, that they pleased you Hally." "An excel lent job Morning Glory, we are both very pleased." "You and your assistant are invited to remain here for the fiesta." "Father i have something to tell you." "This Sunday i want you to merry us." "Now that we know what's happened to poor Captain Brown, it's time that we made definite plans to get married." "We've been patient too long." "isn't that right dear?" "One, two, three, four, five, six," "seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven," "Who are you?" "What are you doing here?" "Hally, where are you?" "Dear, everyone's wondering where are you." "And i miss you too." "I can't be without you even for a minute." "Let's go." "Paco" "Did you see anyone just now?" "Upstairs, no." "only a guest looking around?" "But i don't like curiosity." "Let's have a look." "I wouldn't leave if i were you." "Just hold everything right here, friend." "There's more than flowers in here, so you want to make a fortune without working." "Tradition is to cut off a thief's right hand." "That's what's been done for a centuries." "However today is a holiday." "We'll make an exception, and be lenient." "Hello miss Hally, nice to see you." "I'd like to choose some flowers for the church ceremony." "Is he in the house?" "Of course." "Tell me her name!" "Elizabeth after your mother." "I had to leave her in the house." "We're not permitted to go out together." "You must find some way to bring her with you tonight." "I'll be at the cemetery with two horses." "Before anyone even notices that you are gone." "We'll be far away." "Leave town!" "But that means all that's happened these last years is wasted." "Wasted." "Why?" "Now look Hally you waited for me to come back, now I'm back we can begin living again." "What about the others who've been waiting." "How can you leave them to suffer here." "Those people are beyond help." "They are already dead with fear." "Not yet, but they'll soon be dead, if you really abandon them." "Well look at me Hally." "Count the Mexicans who are living here." "it isn't an even contest." "And what if the Fuentes hurt you." "It's too much for just one man." "I've got a broken gun hand." "I've been expecting you to ask if there's anything between me and Paco." "it doesn't matter." "it matter to me." "Please let me explain what happened." "I already know." "You said at the cemetery tonight." "No... no." "Not tonight." "Be patient, I promise to come." "Morning Glory will tell you when." "I hoped you be back," "I'll bring the cards." "Is it possible to know the future?" "The past doesn't interest you?" "The past is over." "That's strange, it's completely different." "There are many changes." "in the future?" "No." "It's you who are different." "A truly serious man doesn't hope for anything." "Only those who have some hope really care." "And a man who hopes fears, you see" "You are now afraid." "Where are you going?" "Wait a minute." "I haven't told you the future." "it doesn't matter." "I know it." "I have some cash to gamble with, if you'll let me play a few hands." "You're just unlucky i guess." "Luck, nothing." "The whole game was obviously fixed." "I saw it with my own eyes." "I saw you cheat Esteban." "I don't believe my ears." "You heard what i said," "I have witnesses that these two weren't up to the same tricks, but they are swindles too." "Why don't you arrest them sheriff?" "Cheating at cards is against the law, even here, isn't it?" "You're supposed to carry out the law." "Or maybe a busy sheriff can't be bothered with petty crimes." "Is that how it is?" "Well how about it?" "I wouldn't mind helping you." "On behalf of the sheriff and in the name of the law." "I place you under arrest." "You must agree, it isn't difficult." "Just make up your mind that's all." "I'll even help you to take them all off to jail." "Maybe, who are you?" "No time now, sheriff." "I'll explain afterwards." "Montgomery Brown!" "Esteban said not to wait for him." "Is that why you are here." "Morning Glory had him arrested." "he cheated at cards." "Since the sheriff himself was there." "He made the arrest and took him away." "When Paco hear that, he'll kill both the sheriff and Morning Glory." "Not if Paco doesn't hear about it." "If you tell "Warren" or one of the other man they can get Esteban out." "Before the sheriff knows what's going on," "and you ought to be able to convince Esteban that he should forget what happened." "Right." "They must have been mad to do it." "The sheriff and Morning Glory will both need some help." "When Pako Fuentes hear what I've done." "He'll be looking for you, and you're gonna have to defend yourself." "Unless you want to be killed." "We can't possibly hope to stop the Fuentes." "I've got my gun that's one." "You'll be with me." "Fine that's two." "Who else do you expect?" "Morning Glory" alright suppose he's the third." "Then what?" "The whole ideas insane." "Yeah, I know." "What are you looking for?" "Dynamite." "You got any?" "This belonged to the judge son, didn't it?" "We could use some fresh air in here Sheriff." "Sheriff, Sheriff, come out of there." "You've had your fun Sheriff, you'd better off pray that Esteban been enjoying too." "Let him out now, and be quick about it." "I'm sorry to disappoint you boys." "But the Sheriff likes having him around." "He'll be perfectly safe, till his trials begins." "He's not going anywhere." "Do we leave them lying around like that?" "Eh!" "Yes for a little while, but..." "I'll explain afterwards." "Hey, what are you doing?" "What is that?" "Dynamite." "With your permission Don Paco." "We've brought a present for your wedding." "It's something special, I've saved you the best flowers." "Just be sure your helper doesn't cause any more trouble." "Oh!" "I almost forgot." "Esteban and the others aren't coming back here tonight, because they began celebrating earlier today." "Now let's get started." "I think we should put these plants by the door." "Flowers at the entrance, always look inviting." "And we'll arrange the other inside the house." "Forgive me Don Paco." "It came unexpectedly, I knew them very well." "I might be better if your marriage were postponed." "I never postpone anything." "You stay inside, alright?" "You promised you would remember, I trust you." "Hello." "Come over here." "What are you doing with those cartridges?" "We have gathered here to bless the marriage between" "Don Paco Fuentes, our town's noble benefactor." "And this woman, "Hally Fitzgerald Brown"." "The widow of Captain Mongomery Brown"." "Esteban, Esteban." "Rosita, when you are going to get me out of here" "Don Paco Fuentes, do you promise to love and protect Hally Fitzgerald." "according to the rites of the Holy Roman Church?" "I do." "Hally Fitzgerald, do you promise to honor and obey forever Don Paco Fuentes according to the rites of the Holy Roman Church?" "Dearest Elizabeth, he's waiting for you." "Yes." "I've come back Paco Fuentes," "The Horses, they are gone." "Alex, Alex." "Why did you do that." "You promised to forget, Miserable pig." "Let's go." "He was a brave man who believed in helping others." "We'll miss him." "He's dead because of me, You can blame me for it. it's my fault it happened." "We all make mistakes." "The time is come when you have to choose." "There's going to be a show down here at last." "Don't back down unless you're afraid." "We may be killed." "Let's get the man going." "We'll need a lot of horses." "I'll explain later." "Follow me!" "Come on" "Let's go to the attic." "Yes sir." "Instead of 'Sir' call me papa." "Hmm?" "Why should i call you papa?" "I'll explain afterward Elizabeth, I'll explain Afterward." "Alright papa," "Shall i help you papa." "It's a big gun, papa" "You have to stay quiet now, can you do it?" "Play with this and don't leave the attic." "I know papa, or else those men will get me." "And then your plans won't work out, right?" "!" "There was it where did you find that dress." "I'll explain afterwards, mama." "I'll explain afterwards..." "Those who saw me as a rundown man," "Those who tried to destroy all our world," "Shall leave forever our beloved land," "Because we are fearless men." "Because we are fearless men."
