00:00Fifteen years, Sam Barner stalked the Indian.
00:04Tonight, the Indian stalks him.
00:07Gregory Peck, Eva Marie Saint in A Stalking Moon.
00:14Apaches?
00:15Yeah.
00:16How many?
00:17Just one.
00:18But there were three men. They were all armed.
00:20One set of tracks and a buffalo rifle.
00:25Salvaje.
00:26Last I heard of Salvaje, he was cleared down to Window Rock.
00:30What the hell's he doing up here again?
00:32He came for his son.
00:35He'll come back for his son.
00:40They put a thousand miles between themselves and the Apache.
00:44But it wasn't enough.
00:46Relentlessly, as the moon, he stalks them.
00:50Now listen, before I hear from the Indians about the boy,
00:53do you know what he is, this boy?
00:55Yeah.
00:56Well, I figure maybe you don't know.
00:58So I ride Hennessy.
01:00Then I ride Silverton. Silverton, they're all dead too.
01:03I come tell you, he's on his way.
01:06Tonight, when the stalking moon is high, he will find them.
01:12Sam!
01:18You won't hear him.
01:22I'll hear him.
01:24It doesn't happen that way.
01:30He just comes.
01:54He just comes.
02:24You can't escape the stalking moon.
