Rio Lobo Page #5

- There were two.

I don't know their names.

We gave them money.

- They gave us the information.

- Can you describe them?

One was a big man.

Almost as big as you.

The other one... You were closer.

The other fella,

even in the dark he stood out.

He was like an albino.

White hair, white skin. Smaller man.

- That's all.

- That's more than I had.

You fellas can do me a favour.

If you run into either of them,

let me know.

You can be sure of that.

- Another drink?

- Let us buy you a drink.

What did you get

when you signed out?

Two dollars.

- Where are you heading?

- I'll just look around.

I'm going back to Texas.

The man who brought me up

has a ranch in Rio Lobo.

Two dollars won't get you very far.

Since you've been locked up, our pay's

been coming through regularly.

That'll get you to Texas.

You can owe me.

I never thought

I'd want to kiss a Yank.

If we run into one of those fellas

you're after, where can we reach you?

Blackthorne, Texas.

That's near your Rio Lobo country.

The Sheriff there

can get in touch with me.

I see the Sheriff of Blackthorne County

has earned some bounty money.

One of these little hides

can buy a lot of drinks.

- Good to see you.

- Thanks.

I was wonderin' when you'd show up.

I got your message

that Pierre Cordona wanted to see me.

Yeah. He got in last night.

He's at the hotel.

Come on in. I'll give you a drink.

What's it all about, Cord?

Can you tell me why you're here?

Didn't Cordona grab

a coupla army payrolls from the Yanks?

That's right.

I heard that you captured him

and put him in a prison camp.

You heard right.

Cord, you're not fixing on causing

any trouble? I wouldn't like that.

Don't worry, Pat.

Besides, you're too good

for that young fella.

There's no hard feelings between us.

The war's over.

Oh, that's good.

Then why do you want to see him?

The only reason Cordona

could get away with those payrolls,

was because some people on

our side were selling him information.

I'm after them.

Are you working for the army,

or is this personal?

Both.

Sheriff, I'd say

you were going to have company.

- Which of you is the Sheriff?

- I'm Pat Cronin. If there's anything...

I want to report a murder. And I want

the man who did it arrested.

- Where'd this happen?

- In Rio Lobo.

I'm sorry,

that's out of my jurisdiction.

- You're not going to do anything?

- Excuse me. You said Rio Lobo...

Are you connected

with the Sheriff's office?

- No, I...

- Will you please stay out of this?

Sheriff, does that mean

you're not going to do anything?

It means I can't do anything.

I have no authority there.

A man was killed...

Unless a US Marshal

or the Sheriff of Rio Lobo asks me...
