Morning, friend!

Listen.

Where's Don Alfredo Arango's ranch?

A bottle of Bacanora
and some refried beans.

She's paying.

- 150 reales for me and 50 reales for you.
- How come your reward's higher?

You weren't even on here before.
Be glad it looks like you.

WANTED
JOAQUÍN MURRIETA & ADELA CHENG

And 50 reales for you is a lot.

I'm taking a leak. Stay sharp.

I'm sure he has her as a wh*re,
to ease the loneliness.

He'd rather f*ck an Indian.
They stink way less.

Why don't you go back to your country,
you f*cking ch*nk?

f*cking deserter...

They should've hanged you.
You're better off dead.

I'm already dead.

You hear me, yellow?

Yellow b*tch!

So, what happened here?

You and your f*cking gold.

We lost the w*r against the US,
along with half of our country.

Left with neither dignity nor gold,

I deserted the Mexican army
because of our government's betrayal.

And now, years later,

I'm haunted by the memory
of the men I abandoned in battle.

g*n in hand,
I travel across the new border,

taking back the gold they stole from us

and giving it back to my people
in an attempt to pay back my debt to them.

Even with a bounty on my head,
I live under my own law.

And this is the story
of how I became a legend.

True tales and tall tales alike.

EPISODE 1 GOLD

How many left on your list?

Just a couple more and I'm done.

CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
6 YEARS EARLIER

We're f*cked, Murrieta.

Mexico made a secret deal
with the gringos.

I won't be cannon fodder
so the government can save face!

- Do you still want to leave?
- Yes, Leiva.

Before dawn.

I'll leave with you.

Captain, sir. I wanted to tell you that,
regardless of what happens tomorrow,

it's been an honor to serve under you.

If it comes to it,

it will also be an honor
to die defending our country.

Arango…

I should've fought with you...

Died with you.

Clean up your mess!

Morning. I'm looking for Alfredo Arango.

- Are you his wife?
- Who's asking?

Joaquín Murrieta.

Please. I need to talk to him.

You can find him at the graveyard.

Alfredito came back...
He was breathing, but dead inside.

And missing a leg.

He k*lled himself because of you.

Take this, please. Take it.

No amount of money can settle your debt

or undo the damage you did to him
and your squadron.

I'm sorry.

UNITED STATES CALIFORNIA

Louder, Quino. I want to hear you speak.

Aim at his haunch, always. Cut him off.

Keep your eyes on the haunch.
On the haunch! Don't let go yet!

Quino! Don't be afraid of him.
He's got to learn to respect you.

Always from behind. Make a kissing sound.

Let him know you're in charge.

Help me out. Block his path.

- Easy.
- Gently.

Toss the rope. Just like that.

How do we get it back? You loop it around.

We come back again
To a good life

We come back again
To a good life

Melodic sounds

Melodic sounds

Your land, your land

Your land, your land

Go ahead. Do it already.

Are you as cowardly as your father?

At least he wasn't a deserter.

What's suicide, then?

Hey, Adela!

Let him go.

Let the kid go!

Come after me when you're older.

But don't blame me for his suicide
because that one's on him.

You hear me?

Why did you spare the kid?

I already took something from them.
I can't take everything.

You and your f*cking list.

You k*ll some,

and you give others the gold we steal.

The list is not your problem.

Only one b*stard left to k*ll.

He must be up north,

not far from where I saved you.

Let's go.

The orchard harvest is good.
The rains have helped.

It'll last for another week.
We have to start getting ready for winter.

Pack it in there. Good.

Hey! What are you doing?

This is our property and crops.
You have no right.

This land belongs to the United States.

You are being evicted. Government orders.

What government?
You can't come here to threaten us.

I'm not afraid of you or your horse.

Fighting with them is useless.

That's exactly what you said
during the w*r.

I did what I had to do to keep our land.

What good is owning land
if we're attacked?

Where we're not accepted? Let's sell.

- We can live with my family.
- No one will pay its true value.

Quino would be with his grandparents.
He'd have friends.

We don't belong
with either of our families.

They cast us out.

They'd never take you back
after marrying a Nakayé.

Your stubbornness shouldn't define
the rest of our lives.

They're our blood
and that matters more than land.

We finally have an opportunity
to grow as a family.

This land will continue
to provide for us. I promise.

We can't give up.

The blue coats have us by the throat.

Don't let them catch you with this,
not even a single gram.

You know what would happen
if the gringos catch me doing business

with Mexicans who don't pay taxes?

I'm not a Mexican. I'm a Californian.

He's also Californian,
but you don't see him bragging.

Let me know when you get your citizenship.
If it happens this century.

Someday, Blanquita.

Cheer up, boys. Sleep while you can.

Hell awaits us at dawn.

Where are you going? No. Don't run away.

You have to stay here
and die with the rest of your men!

Don't run away!

Deserter!

f*cking hell...

- We're surrounded.
- Weren't you keeping watch?

It's always the same sh*t with you.

Shut up. Focus on the f*cking gringos.

Take what you can from them.

Hurry,
these gringos multiply like rabbits.

Don't k*ll me. I have a family.

UNITED STATES CALIFORNIA

FRONTIER OUTPOST

Hey, pretty one. What are you doing here?

What happened?

Captain Love,
your men destroyed our crops,

threatened us,
and told us to find a new place to live.

This deed shows that those lands are ours.

You can't evict us.

This land belongs to the US government.

My men are enforcing
the laws of this country.

We bought that land.

You promised to respect our property
and grant us citizenship.

And now I'm telling you,
that if you wish to live in the US...

you have to abide by our laws.

And if you don't like
what we're doing for you...

go back to that shitty country of yours.

Tayya!

Gringo son of a b*tch!

Take her away!

Tayya!

But to prove to you
that our laws are just,

her punishment will be 20 lashes.

Captain, that's as bad as hanging her.
Please!

My wife won't survive the punishment.
She's a woman.

She can't control her emotions.

It's my fault for not restraining her.
So, please, punish me instead.

I never thought that dealing with you
would be so complicated.

You're not docile, like the negros.
You're beasts.

You should've controlled your beast.

You're a weak man. A good Mexican.

No, horse.

Brother…

May God guide you on the eternal path.

I promise I'll find
whoever did this to you.

The Chinese woman.

Joaquín Murrieta and Adela Cheng.

Go ahead and hang me, f*ck!

You and your as*h*le boss
can go f*ck yourselves!

That gold is ours.
We shouldn't have to pay your f*cking tax.

Tomorrow, you'll hang
in full view of your people.

See if that teaches you, f*cking greasers.

What the f*ck are you doing here?

They want to take our land.

Now that it's "your land,"
you found the courage to fight?

We lost the w*r
because of cowards like you.

You couldn't care less
about what belongs to everyone,

only what belongs to you.

Will they hang you?

I hope those whips
at least teach you a lesson.

That they're in charge?

That cowardice is the worst enemy
of the people.

Adela…

What are you doing with that?

- Why is my name there?
- None of your business.

You wronged everyone there.
How did you wrong me?

Am I here to be k*lled,
or because you owe me?

If you're lying,

give me my gold and I'll disappear.

You're a coward and a liar!

You're here because you're a fool.

Because I'm saddled
with looking after a kid.

I knew you were a deserter,
but not a traitor.

Give me my damn gold!

Listen, you little b*tch...
If you're going to leave,

take the f*cking horse and leave.

Do it before I do, because it's mine.

And I swear, if I ever see you again...

I'll sh**t you right in the face.

We're under attack. You know what to do.

Dad.

Mom.

That's it!

If he's coming to California,
it's better if you don't come across him.

Murrieta is the finest g*nman
in all of Mexico.

You have 24 hours to surrender your land.

If you don't comply,
you'll end up like her.

Your wife and son included.

Those who don't abide by our sacred laws,

will be punished with all my might

and that of the United States.

You're f*cked, you hear me?

So, now what?

Get drunk, of course.

Come here, f*ck!

- f*cking Murrieta.
- f*cking Priest.

- Will I survive the first sip?
- Maybe.

Where's Adela?

Give me my money and I'll disappear.

We're all better off
going our separate ways.

What about the names in your book?

I only have Leiva left.
But the b*stard vanished.

And Adela...

And Adela.
I'm the idiot who taught that f*cking girl

that it's better to k*ll someone
than having to watch your back.

Don't be an as*h*le,
just give Adela her share.

Who said
I no longer wanted to be an as*h*le?

f*cking Murrieta.

Sooner or later,

we'll settle accounts.

Not even with a confession.

And to be able to confess,
you must first repent.

And yet here I am,
taking advice from a drunk

who thinks he's a priest.

You're too drunk, Priest!
Can you do it or not?

Let's go to Agua Caliente
and take it from there.

Treacherous b*stard.
I'm getting my gold back.

Water...

Quino, get water.

Pack whatever you can.

We'll go to your family,
just like you wanted.

What about our ranch?

It's theirs now.

I want to show you something.

That metal is sacred.

The w*r started because we took it.

Why did you hide this?

This is our only way out.

In due time, we'll come back.

And this will stay here,
and we'll start a new life.

We'll build the place we dreamed of.

- We have to leave.
- Where?

To your grandpa's.

You'll have friends,
and they'll teach you how to hunt.

How's that sound?

Head for the hills. Don't stop.

Quino, run!

No! Quino, no!

No!

Quino! No!

No!

No!

No!
