Streets of Laredo

Where's our horse, mister?

Well, your horse was a lot worse off than we thought.

He gave it up last night. Fort Stockton's only 12 miles away.

We'll make it. Ma.

Well, you'll see her soon.

Then-then where's my mommy?

It'll be soon, honey.

Captain.

Captain.

What happened with these children?

Good Lord, you'll... You'll have to excuse me, Miss Parker.

I've had a long trip. I didn't recognize you.

It was Mox Mox.

Mox Mox?

Did you kill him?

I hit him. There is a chance he'll die.

Let's get these children up to my room we'll get 'em in a warm bath.

What about my husband, Captain? He's fine, Miss Parker.

He's waitin' for me in Mexico.

Captain?

Are you all right, mister?

Build a fire, Jimmy. It's chill.

No more fires for you, Mox.

Why? Why not? What's wrong with you?

Not near as much as is wrong with you.

I ain't shot in the lung, and I ain't dyin'.

And you're both buildin' you a fire would be a waste of time.

And I ain't got the time to waste on a man that's dyin'.

I ain't dyin'!

I'm just shot up a little.

I'll live if I could get warm.

Hellfire will warm you, Mox.

You'll be plenty warm there.

You're strippin' me clean, you Cherokee scum.

I should've killed you a long time ago. Should've shot you in your sleep.

I could be sound asleep and drunk,

and I'd still be too quick for you, Mox.

That's why I'm called quick Jimmy, remember?

Damn snake!

Get away from that horse and make me a fire.

I ain't the snake.

You're the one they call the snake you do not see.

Only old Call seen ya.

He didn't get much of a shot though, did he?

But he still killed ya. I ain't... I ain't dead.

I-I'm just shot, damn you.

Why are you off in such a hurry?

Leave me... Leave me some matches.

No, I am in a hurry. Old Call might be comin'.

No, he ain't comin'. He's got them brats.

Well, I don't believe I'll take that chance.

If he does come, he'll find you frozen.

You know, I never thought an old man like that could beat ya, Mox,

but I guess I was wrong.

You done for, Mox.

Oughta cut your own damn throat and be done with it.

I didn't mean to pass out like that this morning.

I'm worried about my horse. I don't usually go off without stablin' him.

The sheriff stabled him for you...

and was glad to do it.

You saved those two children from a hard death, Captain.

There are plenty of folks that can stable a horse.

My five-year-old can do it perfectly well.

I usually take care of my own mounts.

Any news from Jasper Fant?

They're arrivin' today.

I believe they're gonna go right on back with the children.

They've got cattle to work.

I was a prisoner of Mox Mox, Captain, when Blue Duck had me.

I know what you saved those children from.

The Fants have every reason to be grateful.

They're very lucky, and they know it.

Now I didn't know that Mox Mox was with Blue Duck.

I don't recall Pea Eye mentionin' that.

He never mentioned it 'cause he didn't know.

I never even told Gus.

I told Mr. Goodnight when he gave me the news that Mox Mox was alive.

When can we go to my husband?

We're gonna have to go horseback.

Not much road between here and Mex and it'll be cold.

I hope you don't doubt I can ride, Captain.

I've rode all the way to Nebraska with that coward you and Gus drove.

I can ride, and I can keep up.

The cold don't discourage me. I wanna find my husband.

It ain't the ridin' in the cold. What is it then? I can leave now.

I'm packed. Captain, did you get the news?

What news? Joey Garza killed Judge Roy Bean.

He gut-shot him and then strung him up to his own barn.

Hung him. A sheep herder found him.

Came by to get drunk, and there the man hung.

The boy must've been watchin' when we left.

Damn it all. Were there any other bodies?

No, just the judge.

Sheep herders are all scared now.

They're bringin' their sheep closer into the towns.

Don't know what good that'll do 'em.

They could drive those sheep middle of this street, he could still sit back and pick 'em off.

Do you think Pea's okay, Captain?

Well, they didn't leave before I did.

I don't think the Garza boy followed Pea Eye.

I think he followed me.

I felt it all the way here, but I never could catch him at it.

He's damn clever to ambush Bean like that.

Bean's a tough old rooster, but he's called his last call.

I'm much obliged to you, Sheriff, for stablin' my horse.

It's my pleasure, Captain. Captain.

I appreciate it.

Let me go, Captain.

I'll ride night and day if I have to.

Well, that was not my objection, ma'am.

Well, what is your objection, if you have one?

I'm just not sure I can protect you. That's it.

I... I let Joey Garza slip right by and kill Roy Bean.

Then I let Mox Mox get away.

That's two poor performances in a row.

I'm just not sure I can protect you.

Did you hear me? I heard you, Captain,

but I need to find my husband.

He's the one that needs protectin'.

Yeah, you'll go alone if I don't take ya.

Let's go get you a horse.

Oh, yeah.

I am going to go and kill an old gringo.

But I will come back for you and Rafael.

I will take you both far down the river to a place.

And then I will throw you both off the cliff.

A great bear will come around, and he will eat you...

while you are still alive.

Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

Mama! Mama!

Your brother likes teasing you.

He's not gonna feed you to a bear.

Shh.

Shh.

Ain't that colonel of yours gonna be upset when you tell him...

you used his account book to start fires in Mexico?

Stop worrying about Colonel Terry.

It makes more sense just to worry about keeping warm.

Olin Roy is coming.

He was making the camp, but I told him we already had a camp.

Olin Roy, I used to know him. Where's he been these years?

I don't know.

He weighs too much for his horse.

I'll take him. Thank you.

Olin.

Hello. Hi.

Weather's cold, ain't it?

Could be colder. I've seen colder.

You been anyplace special?

Well, Pedros Negras.

Heard that's a rough town. No, it ain't.

'Course, any town Wesley Hardin unsaddles his horse is rough.

He come in whoring.

What's the news from down river? Any news from Laredo?

Yeah, they put that damn Sheriff Jekyll in his own jail. I hope they hang that rascal.

Bob jekyll's in our jail? I'd say that's news.

Yeah, I guess...

some little gal came in, askin' about her husband.

He forced her.

A woman askin' about her husband? Recall her name?

No,

I reckon I never heard her name.

Poor thing took rat poison and died.

They're tryin' the sheriff for the murder. I doubt he'll hang.

Oh, Lord.

She died.

My wife.

It was her.

My wife. My wife.

If it was her... If it was her...

It was my wife.

Ted oughtn't run his horse, not in rough country like this.

Bluffs down there right by the river. Horse go right off those.

Well, you know, that's two of us now.

First Katie and now the deputy's wife.

How far is it back?

Back where?

Back to where it's not like this.

People getting killed every day.

No houses, no streetcars.

Back to civilization.

It's cold, ain't it?

You was just a mean bandit, you old squint.

You should've been a cook, you liked fire so much.

Old Call was lucky.

Oh, my god. Plunkert.

Was it Garza?

No, it was some vaqueros.

They were very poor. Their horses had no shoes.

They probably wanted his guns, horse, saddle...

and his clothes.

All of his clothes?

Let's get him buried then.

Mrs. Parker.

You can call me Lorena, Captain,

if it wouldn't disturb ya.

We've known each other long enough, it wouldn't be rude.

Ah, it's just my rough habits, I guess I...
