00:03 This place got a name?
00:15 No.
00:16 Just take your water and go.
00:18 You know, being unfriendly is the best way
00:27 to arouse a man's curiosity.
00:28 You ever think of that?
00:30 Not many men come here.
00:32 We have no reason to be friendly.
00:33 You'd do better the next time a man rides in,
00:44 just let him go through.
00:46 Thanks for the water and your help.
00:47 I owe you a favor.
00:49 You owe me nothing.
00:51 Just don't ever come back.

01:54 What brings you into town, Josh?
02:03 Oh, nothing special, just passing through.
02:06 You said the same thing the last time I saw you.
02:09 That was five, six years ago.
02:12 When you putting down some roots, Josh?
02:14 I wish I knew.
02:16 You know, John, I cut across a flat from Pike Town.
02:18 About two days out, I ran out of water.
02:20 At that same time, I met an Indian
02:21 with some awful funny ways.
02:23 Two days out?
02:24 Sounds like Charlie Twohawks, old man Hernandez Segundo.
02:29 He give you any trouble?
02:30 Well, he started to.
02:31 But a girl showed up, looked like a breed.
02:33 She cooled him off.
02:35 Juanita Hernandez.
02:37 Old Juan Hernandez has been living out there with his Indians
02:39 about 15 years now.
02:41 It's Charlie Twohawks.
02:42 He cause any trouble before?
02:43 Nothing serious, runoff two, three travelers.
02:46 That's about all.
02:48 You see old man Hernandez himself?
02:50 You know, I saw somebody watching me,
02:51 but I didn't get a good look at him.
02:54 He isn't friendly.
02:55 Got his reasons, I suppose.
02:58 Makes a man wonder, though.
03:00 Not so much as you'd ask any questions, though, huh?
03:02 Look, Josh, you know as well as I do,
03:05 a lot of men make one big mistake in their lives.
03:08 Maybe that's true of Juan Hernandez.
03:10 I don't know.
03:11 But from what I know of him, if it is true,
03:15 he deserves a chance.
03:17 Well, that's good enough for me.
03:19 Afraid I don't feel the same way about it, Sheriff.
03:21 Nobody asks your opinion, Damler.
03:23 Hello, Josh.
03:29 Been a long time.
03:30 Not long enough.
03:32 You know, one of these days, you're gonna make me mad.
03:34 How do I do it, Damler?
03:36 Just stay out of my way.
03:38 That's enough.
03:39 Did you come in here to make trouble?
03:42 I heard what you said about Hernandez, and it strikes me,
03:44 you didn't look very hard for something on him.
03:46 Get out of here, Damler.
03:47 [FOOTSTEPS]
03:50 I want to show you something first.
03:54 His real name's Vasquez, and he's wanted for murder.
04:02 There's $500 on him, dead or alive.
04:04 This thing's over 15 years old.
04:07 There's no statute of limitation on murder, Sheriff.
04:09 You ought to know that.
04:10 There isn't a shred of proof that Hernandez and Vasquez
04:13 are the same man.
04:14 That's where you're wrong.
04:15 Vasquez disappeared 15 years ago with his daughter.
04:18 A month later, Juan Hernandez shows up here with his kid.
04:22 Vasquez's wife was an Apache girl.
04:24 Hernandez's kid's a half-breed.
04:26 You figure it out, Sheriff.
04:27 Or maybe you don't want to.
04:29 That still isn't proof.
04:30 But there's more.
04:31 Hernandez hiding out there in the desert,
04:33 never coming into town, having his Indian herders chasing off
04:37 anybody that happens to ride through.
04:38 How much more do you want?
04:39 Enough to justify trying a man for murder.
04:42 Well, you do it your way.
04:46 I'll stick to mine.
04:47 Thanks for telling me where to find him, Josh.
04:54 Lorraine, the thing I can do to stop him,
05:03 he'll bring Hernandez in dead.
05:06 You could ride out there yourself,
05:07 make sure the old man has a chance to stand trial.
05:10 It's four days out there and back, Josh.
05:12 That's a long time to leave this town alone.
05:14 Just on the chance that Hernandez is really Vasquez
05:17 and that Daimler intends to kill him for the bounty.
05:20 You know that's what he's going to do.
05:22 Of course I do.
05:23 But I can't prove it.
05:25 Bounty hunter can gamble on being right.
05:27 But a lawman can't.
05:30 All I can do is hope that Daimler
05:32 brings in Hernandez alive.
05:34 Well, I can do more than that.
05:38 I can make sure he does.
05:40 Be careful, Josh.
05:42 Daimler's dangerous, and just as fast with a gun as you are.
05:46 I'll see you now, Eric.
05:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:51 [HORSE NEIGHING]
05:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:58 [HORSE NEIGHING]
06:26 Take it easy, Daimler.
06:28 Just want to talk.
06:29 You picked a poor way of going about it.
06:33 When a man's as fast with a gun as you are, it's the only way.
06:37 All right, you can move now.
06:38 And you do it slow now, here.
06:39 You just made a mistake.
06:48 Wouldn't be my first.
06:50 Might be your last.
06:51 I'll give odds I can drop you before you can fire once.
06:54 I'll bet you'll only lose once, Daimler.
06:57 There's nothing for me in killing you.
07:00 Then put away your gun.
07:02 I want to talk.
07:03 We got nothing to talk about.
07:05 I think we have.
07:06 If it's about Vasquez, I'm telling you this.
07:09 I'm not splitting a bounty with nobody.
07:10 You're not sure there is a bounty?
07:12 How do you know Hernandez is the man you want?
07:14 He'll tell me himself.
07:15 Hunted men are all alike.
07:17 They follow a pattern that they can't break.
07:19 If Hernandez is the wrong man, it'll show by his actions,
07:22 and I'll leave him alone.
07:23 If it's Vasquez, he'll make a break for it.
07:26 And I'll have to stop him.
07:28 [GUNSHOT]
07:30 Throw your guns out in front of you.
07:31 Get back against the rocks.
07:35 You were told not to come here.
07:41 Sheriff Tatum knows we're here.
07:42 The name of the man we came to see.
07:44 What man?
07:46 He calls himself Hernandez.
07:48 You kill us, you ruin the only chance Hernandez has.
07:51 Say what you mean.
07:53 I told you, the sheriff knows we're here.
07:55 If we don't come back, he's going to come looking.
07:57 And Hernandez is going to have to answer for what
07:58 he's done in the past, along with what you do now.
08:01 Whew.
08:09 You'll never come closer to dying, Daimler.
08:12 Why'd he waste that first shot?
08:13 He could have dropped us both from out there.
08:15 He just wanted to make sure we're after Hernandez.
08:18 In his own way, he's trying to protect him.
08:20 That's all he wants.
08:21 And all I want is that $500 bounty.
08:24 We didn't settle that point, Josh.
08:26 It's all yours, under one condition.
08:28 What is it?
08:29 You bring Hernandez in to stand trial, alive.
08:33 I don't get you, Randall.
08:35 You're supposed to be a bounty hunter.
08:37 I am.
08:38 I just believe in giving a man a break, whether he's
08:40 got a price on his head or not.
08:41 I gave every man I killed an even break.
08:43 Did you?
08:45 Look at that callus on your right thumb.
08:46 That's a mark of a gunman.
08:48 How many hours a day do you think you've
08:49 been practicing that?
08:50 How many hours a day do you practice thumbing the hammer
08:52 of a single-action colt?
08:54 Now, what chance they got against you?
08:55 As much as they got coming.
08:57 I don't put the price on their heads.
08:59 It's their own doing.
09:00 What about Hernandez?
09:02 Well, I'll tell you, Josh.
09:06 It's like this.
09:07 You see a--
09:08 [CRASH]
09:09 Don't move.
09:10 I'd just as soon blow you apart as look at you.
09:13 I told you before, I'm splitting a bounty with nobody,
09:15 and I meant it.
09:16 I'm not making any promises, either.
09:18 That Indian out there makes it sure
09:21 Hernandez is the man I want.
09:25 I'm sorry you talked him out of shooting,
09:27 because he had you in his sights first.
09:29 He could have saved me a lot of--
09:30 [GUNSHOT]
09:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:34 It is still not too late, Patron.
09:43 I can still drive these men away, kill them if I must.
09:46 No.
09:48 I will go with these men, and you will let them pass.
09:52 They will kill you.
09:54 That is the way of these hunters of men.
09:57 I do not think they will harm me.
09:59 It is the bounty they wish, not my life.
10:02 But if I am wrong, you will do as I told you to.
10:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:10 [THUNDER]
10:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:15 I am alone.
10:24 Where is Randall?
10:31 I left him behind.
10:33 I have come to take you to my father.
10:35 I'll just bet you have.
10:37 It's more likely you're going to lead me right into the hands
10:39 of your Apache brothers.
10:40 I speak the truth.
10:42 I was sent to bring you to my father
10:45 to keep my Apache brothers from killing you.
10:47 I'll chance it.
10:51 But get one thing straight.
10:53 The idea of killing the woman doesn't bother me.
10:56 I did not think it would.
10:59 All right.
10:59 Lead the way.
11:00 Just remember what I said.
11:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:05 [HORSE GALLOPING]
11:08 Let's get it over with.
11:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:29 Uh, you first.
11:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:53 Forgive me, senor, if I do not stand up to welcome you.
12:07 You know why I'm here, Vasquez.
12:09 I expected you.
12:11 I saw a man like you for a long time.
12:14 I didn't come here to talk.
12:16 It is a long way to Miles City.
12:18 The road is hard and dry.
12:22 Grant me the privilege of being hospitable before we start.
12:26 Bring us some wine, my dear.
12:27 It has been so long.
12:34 What started you on my trail, senor?
12:36 A man your Apaches forced away from here two years ago
12:39 started checking back on you.
12:41 He didn't think it could be proved you were Vasquez.
12:44 And you were willing to take that chance.
12:47 You were right.
12:49 I am Don Diego Vasquez.
12:52 Or at least I was.
12:55 It was a long time ago.
12:57 Juanita's mother was a beautiful woman, senor.
13:04 And there was another man.
13:06 He took her away with him, leaving me
13:10 and leaving Juanita behind us.
13:13 She was dead before I found him.
13:16 Not the man.
13:18 So I killed him.
13:19 When I thought of Juanita, it was too late.
13:26 So I brought her here to hide away for a while.
13:30 I thought sometime I would go back and face
13:33 the charges against me.
13:36 But each month, each year, it became harder to think of.
13:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:45 Now, we've wasted enough time.
13:56 Let's go.
13:57 My horse will be waiting, senor.
13:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:02, Ya!
14:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:21 Get on that horse.
14:38 No!
14:39 I'll kill--
14:40 [SCREAMING]
14:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:49 Don't do it, Daimler.
14:56 I'll see you hang if you do.
14:57 But, Ramiro!
15:01 It is better this way, my dear.
15:12 Well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?
15:17 A body to take back for the reward?
15:21 Eh, the game is over.
15:26 You think you have won.
15:29 But you are wrong.
15:32 You see, I thought of this.
15:35 I, too, have posted a bounty.
15:38 [GRUNTING]
15:41 Oh, no, Ramiro.
15:44 Oh, no.
15:45 No.

16:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:36 Haven't you done enough, Daimler?
16:39 Let her have him.
16:40 He's worth $500 to me.

17:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:12 I'm sorry.
18:13 I-- I didn't want it to be this way.
18:15 You must not go with him.
18:21 There is nothing you can do.
18:23 Your father's mental killing.
18:26 Do you care what happens to him?
18:29 It's not Daimler I'm worried about.
18:31 Do you want Charlie Tuhock and the others
18:32 to be hunted down like your father was?
18:36 I gave you the word of my father.
18:38 They will not kill him.

23:15 I have collected the bounty.
23:17 What bounty?
23:18 I would have killed him.
23:20 But my white brother Hernandez forbid this.
23:23 This man has made many enemies.
23:25 They are afraid of the swiftness of his gun.
23:28 They no longer will be afraid.
23:30 What was the bounty?
23:39 The thumb from his right hand!
