00:00 [HORN BLOWING]
00:03 Raiden party.
00:18 Could be part of Mangus Colorado and his bunch.
00:22 Hey, Frank, that stage was one day ahead
00:24 of us leading Lordsburg.
00:25 You still think we can catch up with Hod and that bounty hunter?
00:27 When I said nobody was taking Hod in for the price on his head,
00:32 I meant it.
00:33 [HORSE NEIGHING]
00:36 Yeah, Frank, I know, but the Apache scouting party's
00:44 all through the country working them.
00:45 You so scared you'd let that bounty man take
00:47 your own brother into hanging?
00:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:52 [THEME MUSIC]
01:09 [THEME MUSIC]
01:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:30 [HORSE NEIGHING]
01:34 Well, you can come out now, unless you'd
01:53 rather stay in there and fry.
01:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:57 [COUGHING]
02:04 Awful.
02:06 Just awful.
02:07 Yeah, well, let's get busy.
02:08 Well, come on, give me a hand now.
02:13 Now, just a minute, Mr. Randall.
02:15 I don't have to take orders from you.
02:17 Look, Mr. Clingsmith, we don't have time to argue.
02:19 Now, those Apaches aren't going to send notice
02:21 when they decide to come back.
02:22 Now, the quicker we can get out of here,
02:23 the better chance we got to staying alive.
02:25 Right now, I find myself feeling sorry for Hard Krieger.
02:28 He said you were taking him back to Fort Apache.
02:30 Did he tell you why?
02:32 Of course.
02:33 He'd robbed a stage.
02:34 Yeah?
02:35 He forgot one small detail.
02:37 Killed two men doing it.
02:38 Never seen men who died by violence, Closs.
02:50 Worry about it later.
02:51 Right now, get the valuables out of his pocket.
02:53 You'd rob the dead?
02:55 Now, look, Mr.--
02:57 Mr. Clingsmith, the driver and the guard
02:59 have probably got families.
03:00 They'd like to have their things.
03:01 Now, would you mind giving me a hand?
03:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:06 You know where we are?
03:31 In the middle of nowhere.
03:34 We're about 20 miles from the relay station.
03:36 If we're lucky, we can make it by dark.
03:37 One swallow.
03:55 We're going to need that water.
03:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:59 You said we'd reach the next station soon.
04:05 As long as you can sweat, you're all right.
04:09 You're not an officer of the law, are you?
04:10 No, I'm not.
04:11 I'm a bounty hunter, and I bring back wanted men
04:13 for the reward on their head.
04:15 The reward is usually the same, whether you bring
04:17 them in alive or dead.
04:19 Most of the time.
04:21 I imagine you'd expect me to bear witness that you
04:23 captured Hard Krieger.
04:24 You really believe that's the only reason
04:25 I'm trying to get you out of this mess, don't you?
04:27 Do you deny it?
04:30 Why bother?
04:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:34 [HORN HONKING]
04:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:11 See if you can find a shovel.
05:12 How far is this to the next station?
05:33 Figure about 20 miles.
05:35 Trouble is, with Mancos, Colorado out,
05:37 every station between here and Fort
05:39 Apache is either going to be burned out,
05:41 or the crew is going to hide tailors
05:42 for the nearest cavalry post.
05:43 And where can we go?
05:46 That's what I was wondering myself.
05:48 One thing's for sure, the Apaches
05:49 and their stand up and fight India like the Sioux.
05:51 They're going to have war parties all over this territory.
05:54 And it's essentially going to be watching this road.
05:56 And it's-- it's hopeless.
05:58 Now listen, it's 100 miles on that road to Fort Apache.
06:02 It's 40 miles shorter if we cut across country.
06:05 At a steady pace, we'll make it in a week.
06:07 I have no choice but to do as you think best.
06:11 I wish I'd never seen this country.
06:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:16 Hey, listen.
06:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:38 We're just loaded with luck, aren't we?
06:48 All bad.
06:50 How far is it to the next water?
06:52 I don't know.
06:53 Look out!
06:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:02 [GUNFIRE]
07:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:09 Don't shoot!
07:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:22 [GUNFIRE]
07:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:48 Randall, look.
07:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:54 How far have we come?
08:06 Not far enough.
08:08 As far as we're going without water.
08:10 Maybe he knows where there's water.
08:13 He knows all right.
08:14 It's the first thing an Apache learns.
08:16 He doesn't look like much, but this is his country.
08:19 Water.
08:25 Do you understand me?
08:27 We won't harm you.
08:30 Tell us where to find water.
08:32 Surely he could be made to talk.
08:41 He had a scar on his chest.
08:42 It was made by live coal laid on his skin.
08:45 He cried or yelled or tried to push it off.
08:48 He'd be named a coward and treated like a scour.
08:50 What are you going to do?
08:55 You can't.
08:57 You stay out of this.
08:58 I won't let you torture him.
08:59 Well, I wasn't planning to.
09:01 Not the way you're thinking.
09:02 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
09:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:14 Grab his arms.
09:40 Do what I tell you.
09:41 Your life depends on it.
09:42 You're mistrack.
09:53 I don't understand.
10:08 I destroyed his secret medicine, made it plain.
10:13 I cut off his nose.
10:15 He'd be dishonored and never be able to return to his tribe.
10:17 Why not?
10:18 It's the worst punishment an Apache knows,
10:22 brand of the coward.
10:24 Would you have done it if he refused to give in?
10:28 You can't bluff an Apache, mister.
10:30 I'm learning that the Apaches aren't the only savages
10:33 around here, Mr. Randall.
10:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:37 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
10:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:44,
11:13 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
11:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:18 Thanks, man.
11:31 Thanks, man.
11:34 Water's poison.
11:36 I don't believe it.
11:36 He's a trick.
11:37 It's poison.
11:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:42 If you drink that, you'll be dead in an hour.
11:49 We've got to find him.
12:00 We'll be wasting time we can't afford.
12:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:05 Two of them.
12:24 They probably made it this far.
12:27 Thought the road was too dangerous.
12:29 Took out for Fort Apache.
12:31 Come on, Frank, let's turn back.
12:34 Hey, look, Apache war smoke.
12:38 Can't die any younger.
12:39 Let's get moving.
12:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:46 Fort Apache, right on the other side of those hills.
12:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:03 Apache, there's three of them.
13:16 Now, you listen to me.
13:18 We're in real trouble.
13:19 If they got any idea we're here, we've had it.
13:20 Keep your head down. Don't move.
13:22 Don't even breathe. - I know it's a trick.
13:23 You're going to leave me.
13:24 Shh, Bobby.
13:26 Maybe you want to die, mister, but I don't.

16:24 [FOOTSTEPS]
16:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:36 I thought you were going to leave me.
16:51 Well, I hope you're satisfied, mister.
16:53 The horses are gone, so now we have to walk it.
16:58 Well, it's warm and it stinks, but it's water.
17:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:04 Why don't you leave me here?
17:13 Misery loves company, and you're all I've got.
17:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:22 We'll rest here for a few hours, move on at dawn.
17:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:48 This man you were bringing in, Hod Krieger,
17:52 did he kill someone you knew, a friend?
17:56 No, never saw him before in my life.
17:59 Never saw Hod Krieger either, for that matter.
18:02 I met his brother once, Frank.
18:04 And the reward?
18:06 It's a large amount of money.
18:07 Why do you want to know?
18:10 I'm trying to understand something.
18:13 Couple hundred dollars, more than
18:14 Hod and his two brothers' work put together.
18:17 $200, and that's your only reason?
18:20 You might say that.
18:22 Well, one of us better turn in.
18:25 You sleep.
18:27 I want to think.
18:28 Suit yourself.
18:29 But if you hear any noise, wake me up.
18:31 Don't talk loud.
18:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:40 Hold it, Randall.
18:52 Oh, Frank?
18:56 This is a surprise.
19:01 I figured it would be.
19:03 Where's Hod?
19:04 He's buried.
19:06 Back where the Apaches jumped the stagecoach.
19:08 Looks like he had a long ride for nothing.
19:10 So Hod's dead.
19:13 But killing you will make up for it.
19:16 Frank, what about this fellow here?
19:17 Put a bullet in his head.
19:19 When they find their bones--
19:20 [GUNSHOT]
19:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:25 Kriegsman!
19:26 [GUNSHOTS]
19:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:32 Now, listen to me.
19:54 I'll keep firing.
19:54 You go behind those rocks.
19:55 Now, get out of here.
19:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:00 Come on.
20:10 Up this way.
20:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:15 [GUNSHOTS]
20:18 [GUNSHOT]
20:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:31 What's happened?
20:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:46 I guess as good as mine.
20:49 I'll probably wait until daybreak.
20:51 They'll be at us again.
20:52 What do we do?
20:54 Pray.
20:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:13 Get down.
21:39 They'll see you.
21:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:44 What does it mean?
22:05 Looks like we had a change of luck.
22:07 It's a medicine lance.
22:10 You know, I think we climbed up to a tribal medicine rock.
22:14 Represents something important to them.
22:16 Their only god, something I don't know.
22:18 But they've pulled out, and for good.
22:22 The only thing that stands between us and Fort Apache
22:25 is a long walk.
22:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
23:00 You want money for bringing men in.
23:03 How much do I owe you?
23:04 I expect nothing from you, mister.
23:09 But if you ever talk to me like that again,
23:10 I'm going to walk all over you.
23:13 I don't know.
23:14 Maybe it's because you don't know any better.
23:15 So I'm going to tell you something, just once.
23:17 Most towns have got sheriffs and marshals.
23:20 We're a long way between towns out here.
23:21 There's not much law.
23:22 Men like Hod Krieger are free to do what they like,
23:25 pushing people around, killing.
23:28 Somebody's got to stop them.
23:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
23:33 Josh!
23:37 Wait!
