Once there, after witnessing the wretched conditions of the survivors, he bribes a Confederate soldier ([[Víctor Israel]], dubbed by Tom Wyner<ref name="Tom">{{cite web |url=http://www.crystalacids.com/database/title/1567/good-bad-ugly/ |title=Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The (live-action) |publisher=CrystalAcids.com|access-date= 17 September 2014|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140917182329/http://www.crystalacids.com/database/title/1567/good-bad-ugly/|archive-date= 17 September 2014|url-status= live}} Retrieved 17 September 2014.</ref>) for clues about Bill Carson.
*After being betrayed by Blondie, surviving the desert on his way to civilisation, and assembling a good revolver from the parts of worn-out guns being sold at a general store, Tuco meets with members of his gang in a distant cave, where he conspires with them to hunt and kill Blondie.
*The sequence with Tuco and Blondie crossing the desert has been extended: Tuco mentally tortures a severely dehydrated Blondie by eating and bathing in front of him.
*Tuco, transporting a dehydrated Blondie, finds a Confederate camp whose occupants tell him that Father Ramirez's monastery is nearby.
*Tuco and Blondie discuss their plans when departing in a wagon from Father Ramirez's monastery.
*A scene where Blondie and Angel Eyes are resting by a creek when a man appears and Blondie shoots him. Angel Eyes asks the rest of his men to come out of hiding. When the five men come out, Blondie counts them (including Angel Eyes), and concludes that six is the perfect number, implying one for each bullet in his [[revolver|gun]].
*The sequence with Tuco, Blondie, and Captain Clinton has been extended: Clinton asks for their names, which they are reluctant to give.

The footage below is all featured within supplementary features of the 2004 DVD release
* Additional footage of the sequence where Tuco is tortured by Angel Eyes's henchman was discovered. The original negative of this footage was deemed too badly damaged to be used in the theatrical cut.
* Lost footage of the missing Socorro Sequence where Tuco continues his search for Blondie in a Texican pueblo while Blondie is in a hotel room with a Mexican woman (Silvana Bacci) is reconstructed with photos and unfinished snippets from the French trailer. Also, in the documentary "Reconstructing The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", what looks to be footage of Tuco lighting cannons before the Ecstasy of the Gold sequence appears briefly. None of these scenes or sequences appear in the 2004 re-release but are featured in the supplementary features.<ref name="IGN" />
