It's the Captain Apache.

The apache's in the coffin.

- So give him Christian burial.

- I'll sound the bells.

'' ln name Patris,

ET Fili, ET Spiritus Sancti ''.

Amen.

You can sure put him away fast, padre.

- Where is Rosita?

- Where is Rodriguez?

Just a second, padre!

I don't think you're hiding from Rodriguez.

I don't even think you are a priest.

Your Latin is lousy, Rodriguez.

- Who did I bury?

- Rodriguez,...

... why was commissioner Collier killed?

It's just a few minutes of air

left in that box.

Collier was killed because it found out

about April Morning.

What about April Morning?

I never took my vows,...

... but it wouldn't lie on the Bible.

All I know is that my job is to buy

guns for the Indians!

All right.

You better go unbury that coffin.

Open it, open it, hurry!

You idiot!

Chief Diablo.

You are not ready to speak to us...

... in that uniform of our enemy.

Damn it! Do I have to go through this...

... every time I talk to an Indian?

Can we talk now?

- What do you want?

- You were there when Collier was killed?

We carried him into the reservation.

We discovered two bullet holes in his chest.

We buried it as he wished,...

... among our people.

- Who killed him?

I saw nothing,

I heard only the bullets.

If you where innocent, then why do

you people hide in the mountains?

Collier was my friend.

When he lived,

we were not afraid.

What did his last words mean?

April Morning,

no one knows the meaning.

You will not leave to betray our hiding place.

Let him go!

You ain't said a word yet, red ass.

Yea, ain't you grateful to us...

... for rescuing you from them bad Indians?

Fire water is good.

Here the skin is not burned.

Leave me single.

Hey you boys,

take the bottle with you.

I suppose I have you to thank.

It'll let you to answer

one question for me.

April Morning.

Do I have to repeat it, captain?

No, Sir, I heard you.

What do you know about it?

There is a live one coming around, Mr. Griffin

You wouldn't want that gun to go off

with all these people here?

They wouldn't notice a thing.

Once they work for me,

are in debt to me.

Suppose I help you carry out your orders.

- You know my orders?

- To the letter.

You also own the telegraph?

I have many friends.

And you know the killers

of commissioner Collier?

They're sitting right behind you.

Moon and Snake.

They're like brothers to me,

devoted, loyal,...

... and completely selfless

in the pursuit of my interests.

But for their thoughtless crime...

murdering Collier...

I'm prepared to turn them over to justice.

The court's gotta believe it.

I'll provide you with eye witnesses...

... even a voluntary confession.

Now I guarantee you a jury
