THE HEAD OF JOAQUÍN MURRIETA
EPISODE 6 DEER
No more water and with the fucking gringos breathing down our necks.
If this goes on much longer, we're gonna be food for vultures.
As cowboys say,
"Better make the best out of a bad situation".
Look, livestock tracks.
They just came through here.
A dilapidated ranch.
We'll find something there.
But we better wait until nightfall.
Is something wrong?
I'm not sure if revenge will give us what we want.
I'm not sure if my spirit will find peace.
Nor my sister's, my nephew's.
My spirit doesn't want peace. It wants vengeance.
I'm fulfilling Tayya's wishes.
I'm taking a leak.
Put the saddle on the black one. I'll take the white.
My child,
I'm just a lost priest.
Son of a bi--
Damn it, brat! This son of a bitch almost killed me.
I saved your ass, didn't I? Stop whining and get the guns.
Son of a bitch.
Look, a crossbow! Take it. This is fucking heavy.
Take this one too. Come on, let's go.
I swear to God, I'm in no mood to kill a priest today.
Stay calm.
There's no need to get worked up.
Give me the priest...
I'll give you back your things and we'll call it even. How's that?
Bring him to me!
Motherfucker!
That's it.
What's going on, lady? Hey, relax.
You gonna shoot me?
Go on then. Pull the trigger.
Pull the trigger.
Just remember that…
To this asshole, your life is worth just as much as theirs.
Take anything you want from the house.
The silver, and anything you need to take for your family, for your people.
It's your call.
What's up, fucker?
-What's up? -Leave him!
Thank the priest for saving your life, you fucking asshole.
Let's get out of here. We still have to gather the weapons.
God damn it!
Son of a bitch. You ruined my hat, fucker!
That fucker deserved a bullet.
Zapote!
Well, this is where we part ways.
-Good luck. -I'm going my own way.
What's gotten into you? Let's go to Agua Caliente.
I'm done living in your shadow. I'm heading North.
Still obsessing over the fucking gold?
-Is that all you care about? -If gold is what you want,
come with me to Villa Morena.
My land has so much gold you can even bathe in it.
Help me find the ranger and it's yours.
Gold won't bring my sister back.
-It's the only way. -Gold belongs to the earth.
Do we look like mercenaries or fools?
Because you,
even if we bring you the gringo on a silver platter,
you don't have the balls to do what you have to do.
How do I know you're not lying?
That gold couldn't buy a better life for my family,
but it can at least buy them justice.
I don't know about you two, but I like the cowboy.
CALIFORNIA - UNITED STATES MEXICO
CHIWA TERRITORY
This is Chiwa territory.
Survivors from different tribes,
who kill the Nakaye and the whites.
They're ruthless.
The red dust on the trees and the heads facing west,
are a warning of a certain death.
The Chiwa are merciless warriors
who stop at nothing to get their enemies' heads.
Bows and arrows can't beat gunpowder.
Or, what? Are you scared of some little heads?
If we keep going this way, we won't come out.
Maybe you won't...
But I assure you, nobody's going to miss a pack of savages.
-Damace. -Savages? Like me?
You're a tired old man, and your back's killing you.
The one who won't come out alive is you.
There are only two paths to Villa Morena.
This one, where we're protected by trees, or back the way we came.
But who knows how long that will take and we don't have enough water or meat.
I'd rather face the Indians, than the scorching sun, hunger and thirst.
The old man's right.
We must cut through the forest.
He's leading us to death. He can't ride.
Control your woman.
In my culture,
those who hold up the group are left behind to die.
But you helped me.
Let's go that way. If Murrieta's backpain doesn't kill him,
then I'll surely lose my head from hearing you argue.
Hey, you're giving away our position!
Would you rather freeze to death?
Take away the big logs so the flames stay low.
All right. You take care of this while we go get dinner.
Let's go.
It hurts like hell, but a sip of that will help.
Where the hell did I put it?
God damn it... Where did I put it?
You know full well the remaining names.
How much do you owe Leiva?
I owe that bastard a bullet in his nuts.
I'm tired, Priest.
All that fucking mess to end up here.
I don't care about my notes.
But I'm pissed off about my sketches.
Let's follow the mud.
That's not mud. That's deer shit.
They must be searching for food.
But why am I telling you? You already know everything.
-Like you were born knowing all of this. -Tayya taught me.
My wife.
At least I've been honest with you. You haven't even told me your name.
Adela Cheng. I was born to a different name...
But that's the one I've used since my parents were butchered.
It was either living with Murrieta, or dying alone.
It can't have been easy.
We don't want them to hear us.
You need to let Adela find her own path.
She's not ready yet.
The one who can't survive without her is you.
I need more time.
I'm not ready to tell her the truth.
Time? That bastard is already taking its toll on you and me.
Adela… She has her whole life ahead of her.
I told you, tracking's hard. Hunting is easy.
Show off.
You can't even open it anymore!
Fucking Priest!
They're here.
They brought supper!
This calls for a drink!
Now you just have to cook it.
You've never tasted something so delicious.
To the cowboy, the Chokonen and the kid.
If it weren't for you, we'd be eating
Murrieta's famous burnt snake.
I'm never giving you my snake again!
I never paid you back for healing me.
It's a gold tooth.
You people think gold's the most important thing.
Return it to the earth...
That's where it belongs.
If you won't accept gold, then perhaps blood.
But one way or another, I'm gonna pay my debt.
Outlaws should protect each other.
Any other gunman would've been less bothersome than me.
Or her.
All my life I avoided folks like you.
I thought that, if I didn't mess with anyone,
no one would mess with me.
I can't accept anyone's help when it comes to honoring my family.
It's an endless road you're on. Like a dark tunnel.
Just look at me. I've spent years trying to repay debts
that can't be settled, even with all the gold in the world.
Some debts can only be paid with blood.
When you get your blood, and we get our gold...
We'll part ways.
Kelly!
-What are you doing? -I'm getting my friend back.
And what do you care? You wanted to go on your way, right?
Well, now's the time. Fuck off!
Tell me the truth!
Who killed my parents?
It was Leiva.
I didn't do anything to stop him.
It took you years... To work up the courage.
-Get it over with, once and for all. -You'll bleed to death. Slowly and alone.
Now we're even.
Anyone who helps him will join him.
"Outlaws should protect each other." That's what you said.
I was wrong.
Let's go get your blood and my gold.
-Come with us. -Keep your gold.
Nothing will bring my sister back.
You shouldn't let that kid live.
She'll grow up, and she won't forget it.
