I Sergio Leones För några få dollar mer är överste Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleefs karaktär) flickans bror dödad av El Indio, eller är han hennes pappa och flickan var i älska med sin bror (incestuous, och killen skottet är också hans son). Jag antog alltid den tidigare, men berättade nyligen om den senare möjligheten och nu har jag mycket tvivel om slutet.
I slutet säger han "mellan bror och syster", vilket inte är tvetydigt, men på italienska säger han "händer mellan bror och syster" (= succede tra fratello e sorella).
Mortimer är hennes bror. Som det anges i sammanfattningen på Wikipedia :
While murdering the family of the man who captured him, Indio carries a musical pocketwatch that was a memento of his youth, using it to time the duel. Flashbacks reveal that he had taken the watch from a young woman (Rosemary Dexter), who had shot herself as he was raping her after having murdered her husband. The incident has haunted Indio, and he smokes an addictive drug to cloud his memory.

Mortimer takes Indio's watch and Manco remarks on Mortimer's resemblance to the woman in the photographs. Mortimer reveals himself as her brother
Enligt IMDb är det här dialogen:
[Mortimer has just recovered the watch from Indio, which contains a picture of the woman that Indio raped]
Monco: [peers at the picture] There seems to be a family resemblance.
[He hands Mortimer the similar watch with the same picture he had taken earlier]
Monco: Here.
Col. Douglas Mortimer: [pause, then] Naturally, between brother and sister.
Enligt Howard Hughes En gång i en italiensk väst: The Filmgoers ' Guide till Spaghetti Westerns :
After Indio’s death, the dialogue between Mortimer and Manco explains the revenge motive, reinforced by Morricone’s subtle underscoring. Manco looks at the picture in the watch and notes a family resemblance. ‘Naturally,’ answers Mortimer, ‘Between brother and sister.’ Manco says that they have become rich, but for Mortimer revenge is enough. Mortimer listens to the chimes, while Morricone’s ‘Goodbye Colonel’ accompanies the scene, again incorporating the carillon, but now with lush strings and chorus. His sister avenged, Mortimer is content and rides into the sunset.
