CAPTAIN APACHE:

OFFICE OF THE COMMISIONER

Ain't you off the reservation,

red ass?

I'm afraid I have to leave now.

Forgive me for it.

You dropped this coin on your way in, Sir.

What are we doing in the reservation?

This is where it happened.

I didn't do it!

I was only accompanying the commissioner

back to the reservation

It happened so fast...

I didn't know where the fire came from.

They attacked him right in the back.

He tried to say something.

April Morning...

Then I saw the Indians.

I knew it wasn't them who did it.

They loved that old man.

Mr. Collier was...

he was like a father to them.

All the things he did for them.

He was like a father to everyone,

even to me.

What are you gonna do with me?

Why did you bring me here?

You were with him when he died.

What did he say?

April Morning.

Then why are you so scared?

You're a crazy Indian!

He tried to tell us something.

What did he mean?

I told you...

I don't know!

Well then find out!

By tomorrow.

Mr. Griffin, we've been waiting

impatiently for you

Show the lieutenant!

The general will be pleased.

- Where is His Excellency?

- This way.

Come, fools,

gather the guns!

Come!

Welcome, Mr. Griffin.

Welcome.

Your Excellency.

Mr. Griffin has delivered

the rifles, my general.

Sit down, Mr. Griffin.

Sit down.

You are a man of your word, Sir.

Tell me are you, general, to be

a man of your word, too.

Many years ago...

... I promised my mother

that one day...

... it would become governor

of this province.

With your guns...

... I will keep that promise.

Before doing that general...

Try to remember the promise you made to me!

Lieutenant, what was it

we promised Mr. Griffin?

Now you don't have to ask him,

you just take a moment and think.

Patience, Sir.

I'm thinking!

You made that promise to me

only a month ago.

You have no trouble remembering

a promise you made to your mother

many years ago.

A son's promise to his dying mother

is something sacred.

To forget would anger God.

Your Excellency,

God is in heaven.

I am here.

And I'm getting very angry.

You are blaspheme, Sir.

Now you take a moment and try

to remember, Your Excellency.

I remember nothing!

Then I'm leaving...

... and I'm taking my guns.

The guns are staying...

... and you are not leaving.

You want it all, don't you?

I have it all.

I have a hundred men

and you have six.

Seven!

Lieutenant, you said they were

six with him altogether.

Oh it's nothing!

We are just getting a new general.

I'm gonna send you

more ammunition.

Bury him next to his mother.

You two, come!

Now you remember what to do

and when.

I'll cross the border in time

...for April Morning.

O.J., what you are doing?

I want It now!

Hit him again, O.J.

What does April Morning mean?

I don't know!

I only got till tomorrow.

One of you better come up with the answer!

How many lumps?

We should have killed him this morning.

He's only one man,

a lousy apache.

All right. You get him.

Get him!

You relax, O.J.

You'll have his scalp

for breakfast.

I hope you don't think I was too forward

... asking you to have dinner with me, captain.

- Not al all.

- I don't know what's come over me...

... I never speak to strangers.

- I'm sure.

- I come from a very

... strict family.

- Ah, yes?

- I never even kissed...

... a boy until I got my degree...

... in the finishing school.

Is that so?

The only reason I came out west...

... was to study the Indians,

savages fascinate me.

- How?

- The Indians are the only people

with truly strict morality.

That I think.

The behavior of the white man

is disgraceful.

- Especially toward women.

- So I heard.

It wouldn't consider marrying a man...

... who didn't treat a woman

with the upmost respect.

You shouldn't.

My mother taught me one thing:

No man respects a women

who doesn't respect herself.

It is certain.

Now you wouldn't want the mother

of your children...

... to be any other way?

- Absolutely not.

When I marry,

It's going to be for ever and ever.

Oh, me too.

I believe that a woman can have

only one great love in her life.

That's true.

Some where, some place there is

the right man for me.

That's good.

And until that day

you see me as I am...

... lovely and untouched.

Ok, red ass...

... what's so important

about April Morning?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

Why?

Take it easy, lady,...

... I don't wanna blow your brains out.

You're no gentleman.

A savage likes to be sociably unpredictable.

Suicide.

He must have had a hell of a time

trying to make up his mind.

- You do it?

- Me?

A person like me

wouldn't do a thing like that.

It was another feller...

He was like a father to me.

What was he to you?

Looks like you've got a lot of

things to find out.

Don't make me do it..

All I can tell you is once a month

... O.J. rode across the border

to meet somebody.

- Who?

- I do not know.

- Where?

- El Lobo,...

... a cantina.

I'll be back.

Welcome to Mexico,

Captain Apache!

How do you know who I am?

I'm a witch, I know everything.

Then tell me why I'm here?

What you're looking for

is not here.

Why are they dead?

So there will be no witnesses

to tell about your death.

You're late, sergeant.

We ride into the border patrol, Sir.

We had to take a detour.

Having trouble?

Somebody stolled my horse.
