00:03 Howdy.
00:29 Howdy.
00:30 What's the name of this place?
00:36 Star.
00:38 Life burning on the high desert.
00:39 Crossroads to the Superstition Mountains and points west.
00:43 You know the territory?
00:44 Well, I sure have been here 20 years.
00:46 County judge, station agent, horse trader.
00:50 Name's Bannister.
00:53 Randall, how far does a man have to travel to get
00:55 on the other side of Superstition?
00:57 Lawman?
00:58 No.
00:59 Then what do you want in the Superstition?
01:01 Looking for a man.
01:04 Bounty hunter?
01:05 Huh?
01:07 You, uh-- ever seen this man?
01:09 No?
01:24 Never came through here.
01:27 If he ever gets up there, he'll never find you.
01:28 Yeah.
01:30 I'll leave you heading for water.
01:31 Where would I look?
01:32 Well, you'll have to stay to the north.
01:34 The trail's not marked, but there's a red adobe
01:36 canyon up there.
01:37 If your friend knows the country,
01:38 that's where he'll head.
01:40 Much obliged.
01:41 If I was you, mister, I sure wouldn't go after it.
01:43 Yeah?
01:44 He give you that?
01:46 Yeah, we both caught one last night.
01:48 Well, it's your neck.
01:51 Why don't you leave this here so if anyone comes by,
01:53 I can warn them about this, uh--
01:56 this Collins.
01:58 Yeah, you keep it.
02:00 I'll remember what he looks like.

04:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:05 Well, Randall, that's for a whirl, isn't it?
05:10 Sure is.
05:11 I was hoping you'd catch up with me.
05:14 We're both on the same trail.
05:16 I'll come and pass you.
05:16 I took a shortcut.
05:21 I didn't know how fast you'd travel.
05:24 I want to try to talk you out of this.
05:26 Why?
05:28 Because I don't want to have to come looking for you later.
05:31 You may not be a greenhorn, but this
05:32 is not your country, mister.
05:34 What's this-- this Collins done that makes him worth dying for?
05:38 Well, he killed a sheriff and blew a bank vault
05:40 in a town called Cleary.
05:41 You sure?
05:42 That's 50 miles to the south.
05:44 So it happened, mister.
05:46 Look, Bannister, what do you really want here?
05:49 I told you, don't go ahead with this.
05:52 Next time, Collins may be luckier.
05:55 He, uh-- friend of yours?
06:03 Relative?
06:05 I don't know.
06:07 May be my son.
06:09 I thought it was dead, but that poster--
06:12 And, uh-- well, uh, what if he is your son?
06:17 If he is, then I'll be against you.
06:19 I see.
06:23 I'm not sure, Mr. Jody.
06:24 I'm not sure at all.
06:26 Is that your boy's name, Jody?
06:29 Three years ago, the army wrote me that Jody
06:31 was killed on a mission down in Juarez.
06:34 They couldn't recognize the body, so maybe they were wrong.
06:37 But I do know one thing.
06:38 Jody would never turn to crime.
06:41 Not much.
06:42 Don't make light of this.
06:45 Not hardly.
06:48 Uh, what makes you think he's still alive?
06:50 Just my faith, mister.
06:55 All right, let's say this.
06:56 Man is your son now.
06:58 You got any idea where he might be?
07:00 You got any idea where he might go?
07:03 Well, there's a cabin up in Adobe Canyon,
07:07 cabin we built for hunting maybe 15 years ago.
07:10 If it is Jody and if he's in trouble, he--
07:12 he might hide there.
07:13 If I go along with you, I'll show you the way.
07:18 And if it turns out to be Jody, will you give him a break?
07:22 Depends what you mean, a break.
07:23 I mean let him walk back without trouble.
07:27 I wouldn't give him that chance either way.
07:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:33 [HORSE GALLOPING]
07:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:07 You're kind of careless letting me get this close.
08:10 How do you know it's even Collins?
08:12 I've been trailing that horse a long time
08:14 before I met you, mister.
08:15 If he's my son, I don't want him killed.
08:20 Even if he isn't your son, I don't want him killed.
08:23 Wait a minute.
08:24 Let me call to him.
08:28 If it is Jody, maybe I can get him to come out to me.
08:31 Listen, banister, he's killed three men already.
08:33 He wouldn't mind making it four.
08:34 I'm well aware of that, Mr. Randolph.
08:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:39 Jody?
08:51 Banister?
09:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:10 [CRASH]
09:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:37 Big man.
09:59 Nobody going to tell me.
10:03 Never saw him before in my life.
10:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:08 Didn't get away with a single dollar, did he?
10:31 I guess not.
10:34 That bullet's going to have to come out of there.
10:35 Are you with the night?
10:37 I've had some practice.
10:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:42 Get me the bottle out of my saddlebag.
10:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:27 Vantage him out.
11:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:31 Listen, what are you--
11:41 you're going to live a little bit longer.
11:43 Why don't you have planning to travel?
11:45 Oh, you'll be ready to go first thing in the morning,
11:48 won't you?
11:50 How'd you find this place?
11:53 I'm retarded, Ray.
11:55 One more day would have saved us both a lot of trouble.
11:58 Could have just buried you.
12:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:22 Well, things kind of work themselves out,
12:24 don't they, Randall?
12:25 Now, you don't have to watch me.
12:26 I don't have to watch you.
12:29 Better watch those horses.
12:30 Put them in the corral.
12:33 And what?
12:34 The patches.
12:35 They get the chance, they'll run them off.
12:37 I'll spell you in a couple of hours.
12:41 All right.
12:44 You better get some rest.
12:46 If I were you, I'd take off that gun belt.
12:49 You know, just in case of a tie.
12:52 And stay out of his reach, yeah?
12:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:08 [HORSE GALLOPING]
13:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:15 [HORSE GALLOPING]
13:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:49 Paul.
13:51 Don't worry, Jody, your pa's right here.
13:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:04 Sit up.
14:14 Huh?
14:15 Sit up.
14:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:19 Keep it.
14:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
15:10 Randall?
15:12 Yeah?
15:13 You all right?
15:14 I'm turning in.
15:15 Yeah, I'm all right.
15:16 Go ahead.
15:17 You bought it.
15:26 How'd you hear him coming up?
15:27 Well, I knew.
15:28 Now you-- you try and get some rest, Jody, because tomorrow
15:31 you're going to need it.
15:32 Paul?
15:34 Why wait until then?
15:36 What do you mean?
15:38 Well, just no reason to hang around here, that's all.
15:42 What about Randall?
15:44 Yeah.
15:47 What about him?
15:48 No, no.
15:51 I don't want him hurt.
15:52 Jody, why did you do all this?
16:02 Well, I was scared, Paul.
16:04 More scared than all my life.
16:07 All right, son.
16:09 I ran away from fighting down in Juarez.
16:12 I left my papers on another man down there.
16:14 And then when the army pulled out, I--
16:18 well, I joined up with three deserters.
16:21 Why didn't you come home?
16:24 I was a fool, Paul.
16:27 I know that.
16:28 I know I was.
16:32 Then they-- they talked me into robbing a bank with them.
16:37 Then it was too late to come back.
16:38 Well, wait until tomorrow morning.
16:52 I'll think of something.
16:55 Paul, I never killed a man.
17:00 I believe you, Jody.
17:02 What are you looking at?
17:22 You were sort of lucky to find this place for somebody
17:24 who'd never been up here before, wouldn't you say so?
17:27 What difference does it make?
17:28 He's here now.
17:30 If it ain't want you with those horses, it's about 4 AM.
17:33 I'd like to get out of here before dawn.
17:34 I can't ride with this arm.
17:36 You rode in with it, didn't you?
17:55 You feel real sure of yourself?
17:57 I don't know.
18:03 That would always give the other fella the edge on me.
18:05 [music playing]
18:08 What is it?
18:29 Get me out of here, Randall.
18:30 You can't.
18:31 The Pansies are killing the horses.
18:32 The old man never killed an Indian, Randall.
18:34 Get me out of here.
18:35 Give me a gun.
18:36 Baxter, you all right?
18:49 Pansies, four of them.
18:52 I didn't even hear a sound until it was too late.
18:55 Which way did they go?
19:00 Forget it.
19:01 Start looking for shadows.
19:04 We're lucky to have one horse left.
19:08 Only one horse.
19:14 Them still on the prowl, we'd be foolish to try to get out of these mountains.
19:18 Even without a wounded man.
19:20 What do you suggest?
19:21 I can't stay with Collins.
19:22 You go back to my place and get some horses.
19:25 Gotta make it there and back day, day and a half.
19:30 All right.
19:31 If that don't make sense, you come up with a better idea.
19:35 Makes sense.
19:36 Makes sense.
19:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:41 [HORSE NEIGHING]
19:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:00 Where'd you get them?
20:26 There were no Apaches, boy.
20:28 [GUNSHOT]
20:36 Pa, there was Apaches.
20:39 No, I didn't tell you because I wanted you to play it natural.
20:42 I scattered the horses myself, scratched my head on a rock.
20:45 We're getting out of here, boy.
20:46 Randall won't be back here for a day and a half.
20:54 Pa, you-- you can give me a gun now.
20:57 You got another gun?
20:59 Take it easy, son.
21:01 You got a long ride ahead of us.
21:04 Ride where?
21:06 Mexican border.
21:07 By the time Randall gets back, that's where you'll be.
21:10 [CHUCKLING]
21:11 You came through, Pa.
21:13 I only did what I had to do, no more.
21:16 When we get you safe, I'll come back and turn myself in.
21:20 Why, Pa?
21:22 Nobody knows.
21:24 I know.
21:26 You gave me going for a while, Bannister.
21:28 Would have worked too if the boy there hadn't given it away.
21:31 You know, when you started yelling how your father felt
21:33 about Indians, how are you going to know how a stranger feels
21:36 about Indians?
21:37 Back away from the table, boy.
21:38 [GUNSHOT]
21:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:49 [GUNSHOT]
21:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:53 Kill him.
21:54 [GUNSHOT]
21:55 Kill him now.
21:58 You lied to me, boy.
22:01 Come on, Pa.
22:02 Give me the gun.
22:04 You're going back.
22:05 [GUNSHOT]
22:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:09 [GUNSHOT]
22:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:17 [GUNSHOT]
22:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:51 Least I can do is bury him.
22:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:57 Signed and sealed, Mr. Randall.
23:09 Take that to the marshal in Cleary.
23:10 You'll collect your reward.
23:12 Yeah.
23:14 Look, Mr. Bannister, I feel like I'm kind of
23:16 in the middle over this.
23:17 And the boy was a killer.
23:20 I believe if I were in your place,
23:22 I would have done the same thing.
23:24 I wonder.
23:27 Well, they'll never hear it from me that he was your son
23:29 or how he died.
23:31 Don't worry, Mr. Randall.
23:33 My boy died three years ago.
