Some 16 km from the city,

toward the beach.

His is the first house

on the west side of the hill.

Dad, we have visitors.

Someone's coming.

Honey, give me my holster,

please.

- What?

"Do not worry. Give me.

Who is he?

Close the window.

Stay inside.

Hello, Dad.

Hello, Kid.

How are you?

Well

What about you?

I will hide there.

What's on your mind?

Nothing. I was just passing

and wanted to see you.

Knew would come,

sooner or later.

Glad you came.

Is there something you wanted to tell you

long ago.

How about a drink?

Very good.

"You look good.

- Yes, I'm fine.

Stay will.

Remember the last time

we had to split one?

Of course I remember.

It was there n the mountains...

when we get stuck

up there, remember?

- There are five years.

- Exactly.

Yeah, right,

about five years.

I think he was wondering why

never showed up with horses.

Yeah, I thought about it.

You know, it was nine days away.

I thought I had drunk too much

and forgotten...

or had not had time...

No I do not forgot, Kid.

But there was nothing

I could do.

When I arrived at the ranch

there were no horses.

And the Mexicans did not speak English

and when understood, said...

had old the horses

few weeks earlier.

I took our horse, I made it

and went toward him.

But when I arrived at the Canyon

I saw men everywhere.

I was hiding

until dark.

I came a close a I could,

to where the horse could go.

I was hidden n the canteen...

I gave a little gold

to silence the man from the bar.

There was not much there,

if I remember correctly.

Enough to go through

the border and come here.

Here n Monterrey.

I thought it best to stay out

movement until...

until all the scroll

Mexico was forgotten.

So far I am clean.

Clean enough to have been

elected sheriff.

Knowing me the way

a I was...

could not blame him

not to believe.

But if you're looking for a time

to avenge what I did...

I will feel very

therefore, Kid.

But if you want, tell them how

and where they want to fight.

I will face it.

You gotta go, Dad.

No need to worry

what happened to me.

I was also hidden

until it was dark.

When I saw the captain

and soldiers...

They also failed to

find me.

Thereafter, they were only

women, drinks e... game.

Are you sure that was it, Kid?

Well, you know me, Dad.

If unsure of this...

we were exchanging bullets

with one another outside.

It was difficult to accept

at the time...

but that was 5 years ago.

A man can not be

angry for five years.

Can?

- Know what to do?

- No.

Will stay for dinner.

Hey, Dad, I...

gotta go,

was only passing through...

came to say hello, but there are people

waiting n the city.

Let me worry

Guy Trosper

Guy Trosper (March 27, 1911 – December 19, 1963) was an American screenwriter. He came to prominence in Hollywood because of his scripts for two baseball movies: The Stratton Story in 1949, a big hit for James Stewart, and The Pride of St. Louis in 1952, for which he received an Academy Award nomination. This led him into a highly fertile creative period, during which he wrote the screenplays for Elvis Presley's breakout hit Jailhouse Rock in 1957, the complex western One-Eyed Jacks in 1961, and Birdman of Alcatraz in 1962, which he also produced. Trosper's last screenplay before his premature death was an adaptation of John le Carré's 1963 novel The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. The film was released in 1965; Trosper (posthumously) and co-writer Paul Dehn received a 1966 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. more…
