04x05 - The Jose Morales Story

Post by bunniefuu »

They are coming.

They can fill away Carlos's horse runs.

Poor piano.

You stole the yours

sandwich.

I tossed.

I see the wagons.

Hey. You was. Right.

The wagons.

They hold plenty much.

Hold the rabbit.

I am hungry.

Was ill*gal rabbit.

But I am hungry. Potato.

And then one. Thought like the old woman.

You should have been with some town on me.

The old general.

He slipped from your back and feet.

That's the worst thing that happened to us
was when you was in the Army.

You weren't even born.

That's still the same thing.

My family was,

from what

I tell you, on three gringo wagons,
but in full color.

When do we get them?

Don't worry about me.

I hope we don't have no trouble.

I get fired for k*lling the people.

Greetings, brother Roque.

Where's Hawk?

I believe Brother Hawkes is getting ready
to ride ahead a few miles. Huh?

Well, I got something to say to you.

Why don't you quit your bellyaching,
Roque?

He's got troubles enough.

That's easy enough for you to say.

You got nothing to lose.

I'm sure that Brother Hawkes

will see to it
that he does not lose anything, brother.

You'll get your frying pans to go
Canyon Rock.

Not that anyone will have enough money
to pay your prices for them.

They'll pay for it.

Oh, Hawkes.

I want to talk to you.

Go ahead, Roque.

I got $5,000 worth of hardware
in that wagon of mine.

And the way you're going
looks like you aim to lose it for me.

Is that right?

Yeah. I got eyes. I can read a map.

But before we left the train,
Major Adams told you

that the Indians were running
wild south of Gold Canyon.

And you were leading us right into him.

For your information, Roque,
the Indians are running wild northeast,

south and west at Gold Canyon.

And I've picked what I figured
the safest route.

We got to head northeast.

Then we'll circle back, because that's
all right here on the map.

Look yourself.

We've been through this before, Mr. Roque.

We voted to go the way.

Mr. Hawkes thinks best. You did? I didn't.

And why didn't you strike out by yourself,
Roque?

Oh, we've missed you.

But we try and get along.

Oh, you know,
I couldn't do nothing like that.

Brother Rog.

The worries myself unnecessarily.

We forget that
we come as friends of the Indians.

I don't forget.
But who's told the Indians?

All. I want to talk to you a minute.

Sure.

I'm going to right out about ten miles
ahead.

There's a spring up in those buttes.

I figure tomorrow
we can stop in one of the start

and get some fresh supply of water.

Have you seen an Indian sign?

No, but I expect maybe I might.

You know, those Mescalero is getting upset
when you start digging for gold

or hunting grounds.

I want you to take over
and I'll be back in a few hours.

Can I gag, Rog?

You know, Riley's a sour, bitter old man.

Keeps worrying about that hardware
all the time.

I don't think you'll have any trouble.

Just keep your eyes open and r*fle
yours handy.

You mean about the only
troops I got around here?

You can count on me, Bill.

I know I can.

If they think you might see Indians, Mr.

Hawk.

Oh, I don't reckon so, Joy.

But if I do,
I'll give you your regards, huh?

All right.

We wait for your safe
trip, Brother Hawkes.

Thank you,

Brother Roque.

Why does he not like Brother Hawkes?

Because he's a fool.

Now, go on, go away.

Major Adams says
Brother Hawkes was a good guide.

There's lots of fools in this world
like you.

More than you, Paul.

They are fools, too.

Brotherly love. Why?

They get butchered
just as soon as anybody else.

I'm going to tell you something, boy.

Don't you trust nobody
in this whole world?

Don't
you believe nothing that nobody says?

You go on your own.

Are you going to be sorry?

I trust Brother Roque.

Well, that shows you're a fool, too.

Just like your mother. You're poor.

Now go on, Get out of here.

I got work to do.

Father, why is Brother real so cranky?

They ask me questions I cannot answer.

I Sit down, son.

Brother Roque is an old man.

Joseph. What?

A tree grows in the rocks
without sun and without water.

When it grows older, becomes
gnarled and bent.

Does the same with a man.

So we know nothing of his soul. Patience.

I doubt if he's got one.

He is a child of God, brother.

Maybe, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Stew smells awfully good.

So pork is a poor substitute
for good beef, Doctor.

But the fresh meat is all gone.

I should take some to Brother Roque.

Brother
Roque knows that he is welcome here.

If he wishes to come, he will come.

We must not force ourselves upon him.

Yes, sir.

Your skinflint.

What's this? Give my brother.

Joseph.

When I started seeing

your work is good after you got there.

Yeah.

I going to do nothing.

I was ill.

We don't hurt nobody unless we've got to.

What's on your mind?

Maybe we tired for a walking round.

Maybe we want to ride in the wagons.

I don't have any wagons.

You got three wagons.

Big fat ones.

Those wagons belong to some settlers.

There's nothing worth
anything inside them.

Senora, you don't get good luck or us w*r.

We got nothing.

You got more

conversational

hogs walking.

You are bored.

You fly

in York, you fly with us.

Maybe we build a big nest and do wagons.

Life is 40 fun.

Oh, I am more than happy Ombre.

You know what made me sad?

What?

When I got to k*ll somebody?

Don't make me sad.

You know?

Come sit down, brother Riley.

Let me fix another cup of coffee.

Hawk should have been back by now.

He will be back.

I just get jumpy After dark.

Darkness is the restful gift of God.

Brother Riley.

Dark I the dark brother Ali.

Toward the dark.

I'm afraid of its
what's moving around in it.

You know, it's funny.

I could work a thousand feet down in
a tunnel with no more light than a match.

But when I get out in the open, it's just

always coming, brother. Huh?

But is he in alone?

Riley, it's me.

Ask Glad he's.

Back.

He has brought.

Guess how nice.

I what I tell you.

If I see your friend
got to be glad for to see us, huh?

Yeah, that's what you said.

Welcome, friends.

May we offer them some coffee?

What is not? You are not just in your.

When are not you?

When I'm not just.

Is the Indian. Joseph, your manners.

What natural

coffee.

What is your name?

Joseph. Huh?

Joseph. Joseph.

Hey, you got the same name.

What I got?

Oh, Jose Morales, alias.

Got You got the same name.

You better tell them.

Office.

Michael Hawkes.

We're in real trouble. Really?

How much trouble?

No, no. Wow.

We just can't take the wagons, that's all.

Why, Robbers.

These are.

You better keep still. Be a

We go on heart.

Nobody. We one big happy family.

This is your fault, Hawkes.

I told you before that if we did what.

I try, we are home.

Please.

We won't give you any trouble.

Because. Good.

Then we get along.

You ain't right,

Thomas.

You're going to wagons.

I tell you what we've got to do.

You don't get was no trouble.

We ride along two or three, maybe days.

Then you get out of the wagons
and you've got to walk.

But we've got to have time
for to sell the wagons.

They love to live way to hope. Huh?

You can't turn these people loose
a foot with a muscular.

I was looking for scalped.

I don't see all mescalero.

Look,

you'll k*ll him pretty bad.

But Rosita.

Morales.

I'm going to see
that you get strung up for this.

I don't know you the way I look,

but normally never believe me
when I tell them.

Can we not drop

rallies?

I'm going to get my hands on a g*n.

I'm a little faster than Raleigh was.

We don't worry about that. It down, comma.

Show that courage away

in the presence of an enemy's

hooks.

You got to say, my good,

don't I know you?

Oh, stand up.

I look for you plenty hard.

Long time.

Oh, I don't know what you're
talking about.

Rallies.

We want to bury this man.

Don't worry about the money.
Don't go no one.

Maybe you out to buy two of them.

I hope you're going to take my goods.

I can't stop you.

What are your name?

His name's Roque. Rocha.

You still pretty good tonight?

Why, I ain't Houston.

I've been trying to earn your.

Yeah,

that's right.



They are.

They are at San Antonio in it.

That's where the Alamo is.

The Alamo

people.

I'm going to tell you a funny story.

I never told a story for good.

I don't got no end for now.

I got the end for it. No.

What are you getting at?

Morales Goal.

You're going to be funny story.

Pay her.

He were not at the Alamo, Were the.

I was a good son, but not me here.

Hosea Morales the great May God me.

I have plenty time
for to think about this Alphabay.

Ah, I do a lot of talking.

I ask a lot of questions, lot.

I want you listen to this story.

You call me a liar, I'm going to put you
on top of your head of your boot.

Which 7000 men in the fields,



with a long r*fle.

We was tired.

The long march to the river.

Bravo to the land of the enemy.

Where all the men would turn against us.

But we march from Mexico.

A man from show,
our senator said along with you

come until we come to pay. Ha!

What?

Commerce waits in allowable
longer meals for 1012 days.

I never seen such mice men against a stone
wall.

A long r*fles.

What Santana say no quarter.

We don't know when the last night prophecy
tell us

many going to state
are going to die for the Alamo.

You must hold It is their choice.

Born man.

He want to live, not marry.

Go over the wall of the regiment.

Want a heart attack
There as much noise to fight.

He is but
one man among many in the field of battle.

So also.

And tomorrow I'll see.

Meet that man who claim
to be the straggler for a battalion of one

in the night at a high

he speak to Spanish.

Well, is shaking with a fever.

Or maybe what a fear, but more honestly,
a mile an hour high, like a mountain.

My food is his food.

My fire, his fire.

First, more honest thinking.

A deserter from some regiment.

Well, he want to get away too fast.

He asks a questions.

What a night.

I don't never forget that face.

I've been looking for you for a long time.

Plenty long time.

This one, Jose.

You are sure your lying?

Nobody ran at the Alamo.

You're going to cut him back Happy?

I don't. You know.

I said your lying.

They all stayed. He died to the last man.

Lost my house. But not to this man.

Roque, tell him you got that much decency
about what do you mean, decency?

Well, you're an American.

Are you going to stand here
and let him smear filth on the Alamo?

Is that what you think?

That if what he says is true, I'm
some kind of filth.

But they all stayed and died.

They didn't run.

Then if somebody took Travis's offer,

there was filth.

Oh, you don't know
what you're talking about.

Nobody else does.

Why should men die
just to make Bill Travis a hero?

Can't believe this.

Then you're a fool,
just like all the rest.

What?

A ten men went over 50. 100?

Would they be traitors to shut up? No.

Now you listen to me.

I'm going to tell you something.

Maybe Bill Travis wanted to stay.

Some men just got to be heroes,
alive or dead.

But they all didn't want to die.

There were 7000 Mexicans out there.

They couldn't get through them,
and they knew it.

I can speak Spanish
and I could make it rocked

if you don't shut up
shop, Hawkins, I want to hear the story.

You know what they said to me?

They said, Rock your lucky dog, croak.

Teach me Spanish.

Croak.

I want to go with you.

Yeah, they.

They wanted to go with me.

They didn't think I was doing no wrong.

I never knew a traitor yet
that wouldn't try to justify.

And so I think you talk pretty big.

This I want to.

I'll bring you talks.

I'm tired of hanging on the wall.

I'll tell you one thing, senor.

I would never turn my tail and run.

See? Maybe no light.

Tell you you'll be dead.

And dead men don't do nobody no good.

How they.

They want you to go with me

of fools.

And you don't know nothing.

Neither.

Cause sometimes dead men do plenty of good

for themselves.

Brother Hawk's brother
Roque is an old man.

They should not hold the past against him.

Mr. Oliver,

I was just a little kid
when Colonel Travis.

Jim boy, Dave Crockett.

The rest of them got k*lled at the Alamo.

But believe me,
if there ever any heroes it was, then

you're going to cut him up now. Anyway.

Well, it's something to do.

See, you caught me.

I caught him. His fare. No.

You're not going to hurt him,
are you, Brother Morales?

And what schedule

ever you ride, huh?

Maybe he don't run.

He stay behind a big wall
and put the b*llet in on Morales

head, Huh?

So I'd trade

cut in neck for b*llet in that, huh?

Maybe is good thing you didn't run.

I didn't run.

I had a choice and I took it.

You're an old soldier.

You ought to know I've been a soldier
all my life.

I fought with Napoleon in Russia.

Don't tell me about soldiers.

Quit talking about it, Rock.

You did it.

That's bad enough,
So don't try to make it right.

Uh, I quit trying a long time ago.

What are your plans, Morales?

I'm going.

You went right along to three days,
then you get Walker saw fit, sir.

If he takes our wagons,
the hinders the work of God.

On and off.

Oh, charity is the work of God.

Me and my friends.

Look, we are poor.

We need charity.

So we take three.

Walker falls outside, huh?

The law is going to catch up with you for
this.

She ain't got me yet,

Wanda.

Stealing the wagon is hard work.

I think I go to sleep

right? I sleep better.

You wrap up for me.

Raw fire is all right for you, singer.

You got the g*ns.

See, we've got the g*ns

behind us.

Not just.

Hey, don't you forget.

Now we got the g*ns
and we say we got your friends. But

I send Carlos and Tomas up ahead
in the dry arroyo where that all stays.

Why? The station is.

You know that place?

Yeah, I know where it is.

By golly, I told him, Don't come back
without the me.

We're going out for a night. Out.

Maybe somebody bought a know.

You take good care of my wagon
now I know I got it yet.

Well, you mean I got it? Yeah.

You follow Nicole. Go. Vamonos.

Go now.

I left

Galilee, this and that.

I hope you know I spent

all day.

Carlos, what are you doing?

Dad? Morales I can see Dad.

Mescalero

Maybe lose them, huh?

You know better than that.

We better get out of here pretty quick.

Wait a minute.

Aren't you going to bury this man?

Boy, you always want a bad boy.

People get on the good God.

Move!

Come on, boy.

We bought a good idea.
You don't know what.

Hey. What's up?

We go up over the door.

Come on

down.

Ow, ow,

ow, ow, ow!

There's going to be, son.

Must we fear them? We've done them
no wrong.

You don't have to be afraid.

If you don't mind, I'm going to worry
some. Come on.

Don't mind the water.

I'm cold and can't move.

You do what you're gonna need.
All the help you can get.

Give us our g*ns. For
they got much variety.

You are already scared If you don't
give us those guys over the rock.

Okay.

Here they come.

You're out.

Oh, he's acting like a fool.

Do not k*ll him now.

You buckle up pretty good.

A knife, huh?

Was the best for your little rallies.

Give us our g*ns.

For an old soldier, you're acting like
a real recruit, not your first g*ns.

You give a little bit more wagons.

Well, I don't give you a g*n.

I'm going to take them.

What's most bad things?

When I was born,
I was not a bulldozer baby.

All right,

I will not use it.

You better get started
if you want to get out of here.

Surely he knows I cannot.

Friend, Do you have any ideas
what the Mescalero do to women captives?

Oh, let him alone.

What he can believe in.

What he wants to believe in.
What would you know about that rock?

I got a good memory.

You mean like climbing walls?

What are you?

The Society of Friends sent my wife
and me here to work for the Indians.

You are k*lling
the very people we came here to help.

I cannot permit this to continue.

You got a better idea? Of course.

Let me approach them in the spirit
of Christian brotherhood

as their friend.

Aaron, please.

We got them on the run.

Give me some more, Sheriff.

They'll be back. Shortly.

But I think they want my witness.

Their center for more help.

You sure you don't have
any more ammunition?

That wagon of yours? No.

And we didn't have. Much ammunition at.

The Alamo. Neither.

What's the matter? Hogs get nervous.

Don't like the idea of dying.

If we can make a run for it.

Yeah, sure.

Two or three hour head start,
we can make it.

Or otherwise
we stay here and hope we might pray.

I wouldn't
be surprised or reason with them.

I've been reasoning with. Them
the only way they.

Understand friend Roque.

They, of all men, should know
best the evils of violence.

I beg all of the
Let me go to them in love.

Let me tell them that
we have no wish to harm them.

They are children of God. Same as me.

Aaron. Perhaps they know better.

The Indians are savages.

Only because they are treated as savages.

I do not lose.

I believe the patients
the moment they are tested.

You just stay right in here, Oliver.

You go out there with your ideas.

They will die with you.

God's love for a man will never die.

That is my big idea.

You don't trust nobody?

Carson
Thomas is going to bring this to me.

But I

said I need my medical care for this.

I'll get it for you. Right.

Here he goes.

Morales, can you hear me?

They're going to dig that b*llet out.

I bet you. Yeah, once.

You bet. My wagon.

You know, I heard that.

I'll bet you. Anyway.

No one else must die. Brother.

I wouldn't be understood in my beliefs
if I permitted it.

Nothing you can do about it,

James.

Let me talk with me.

All right.

Come back,

Freddie.

Take this, please.

You'll feel better.

That everything is dead.

Why should I feel better?

For Joseph's sake?

Oh, Juice, Baby, baby.

Son of my father

will go home to

Will not take the No.

Although mother lives.

It was a mistake, wasn't it?

We shouldn't have come.

They told us we shouldn't.

Aaron was wrong.

Death is stronger than love.

We were all wrong.

How can we save patients?

Everything must be given a chance
to succeed.

No, Aaron.

This heart was full of love for them.

And the good doctor.

How could they k*ll him?

Which has to have Mr.

Hobbs? Not much. Unless somebody finds.

They aren't so many of them.

No, but there will be.

By tomorrow morning,
they're going to have more help.

And they need.

We can't stop,

Doctor, After the next charge,
we're going to be out of ammunition

and we'll have to start throwing rocks

at them.

All this.

You don't look very happy now.

I think you going like 40.

We stuck behind the wall.

All right, can

but. You know, tell the truth as

it don't seem much different to me either.

After 30 years,

we're all soldiers.

We went through the mill. See?

She's trying to sell pretty good, you know

what you think a?

I don't know.

I don't want to live.

Yeah.

Good place for a day.

I a guy here.

Mr. Tomorrow's.

Perfect.

You don't got to be free.

Don't want anything to happen to my mother
at all.

You've got the same name.

What I got you.

Don't worry about him.

You worry about his mother. Him?

What can I be like?

I think he's a good man.

You got a lot to learn, boy.

Oh, he want to do something
nice about somebody.

Don't stop.

But I cannot understand
why the Indians wanted to k*ll my father.

He was their friend. See?

You were a friend.

Frankly, only funny people

become colorful, funny place

like holiday

and it was to your wife's.

So then let's give a little.

Yes, Mother daughter ticket.

Pull it out.

You've got a long life to live

You gonna live where my name holds them
or else

I go on for

Morales.

Why did you tell him that?

We've got to get him out of here.

There's
no way. I'll keep you pretty smart.

You know what I say?

What do you mean, Mr. Morales?

Some people, they do pretty good.

Others they don't do so good.

Some people get what they want
when they live in this world.

They don't get nothing.

Oh, they don't get enough.

What do you don't want much

food?

All these kilos, you know, these

Maybe once in a while.

You don't like them.

No matter what you do in this w*r,

You come here, you come, you go.

What happened in between it?

Pretty good place.

I got some b*ll*ts.

This walls.

I think I stay here.

You can't hold them back till Alamo.

Got to go.

What do you expect him to do?
Go on a buggy ride.

That I don't mean it better.

I stay here. Didn't die. And I know roll.

Is it true? Mr. Fox?

Mr.. I wish you were 30 years younger.

So do I.

Brother
Morales is a noble thing, The offers.

But we cannot let you do it.

You and you are to forgive me.

You don't got no choice.

You don't go to a pretty good man.

Die out there for
nothing is not right in my diaphragm.

I think this is brave. Is my father.

I do not want to leave the.

You got the same man.

Put him up. Duck

Let's

go, Rock.

I ain't go.

I know. That's your.

What,

Parks?

I ain't had a friend in 30 years.

Everybody.

I'm looking down on me just like you did

Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, though they.

They treated me like a man.

So it was a

you know, sometimes a man has

just one minute in his life
to make a decision

that makes it worthwhile or ruins
it completely.

What happens after that don't
matter at all whether he's alive or dead.

I was in Texas from France just one month

when Travis went into the Alamo.

I didn't have no home.

I lived in a tent.

Everybody else had.

Homes and.

Something worth dying for.

Now, I ask you, Hawkes,

would you be willing
to die for a hunk of canvas?

Five foot, maybe.

But hey, worth dying for.

Everybody's got to have something
that's worth dying for

all over. Had it.

And now at left,

Jose and me, we've got to

Oliver and his mission.

And I'm going to see to it
that he gets it.

I go.

Oh, Hawkes,

You want to know.

The real reason why I'm staying?

Yeah, I'm going to give you a taste
of what I've been going on for 30 years.

I'm going to make you go over the wall

and there

you know what I think?

I think he's mad.

I think you make Earl

you feel like this
when you wait on the wall for us.

Very high. Maybe a little worse.

You know, when you're young,
you think you got a lot to live for. So

when you grow old,

we'll have a drink, huh?

Oh, yeah.

You just stay right here for a minute,

or you think I go where?

You just stay here Anyway.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Think you.

I don't care what they say about
you wrote to me.

You're always going to be here all right?

Yeah.

You know,

I can tell you all, soldier,
you were there.

I've been trying to get back in the Alamo

for 30 years.

Must get a letter.

Better come pretty quick.

I But you better get over here
pretty quick

because they'll be coming pretty soon,

and we've got plenty of work to do now.

He's, uh.

I see that before.

Yeah,

I've been carrying that for 30 years.

Never mind. I said I'd make sure.

Get them out of here.

Yeah.

Oh, you're.

Coming in

I'll bet he's got to get that old

what's going on around here.

I just like to know what you.
