00:54 Howdy.
00:55 Can I see Mr. Nunes?
00:57 Your name, please?
00:58 Tell him Josh Randall's there.
01:01 If you will wait.

01:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:17 You're the bounty hunter, Randall?
01:19 That's right.
01:20 I'm Luis Portilla, Juan Portilla's father.
01:23 Uh-huh.
01:24 I know why you are here, and I want to tell you this.
01:28 My son is not an animal to be hunted down.
01:30 He's not a killer.
01:32 You would have little chance against that.
01:34 Look, uh, Mr. Portilla, I don't know anything about your son.
01:42 If you speak the truth, you have nothing to worry about.
01:44 But if you lie, you go after my son at your own risk.
01:53 Mr. Nunes will see you now.

02:13 Senor, this is--
02:32 Hey, you're Joyce Randall, all right.
02:34 I can tell from your trademark.
02:36 I've heard people talk about it.
02:38 It does the job.
02:39 What about the poster?
02:40 Oh, yeah.
02:41 You want to know the details.
02:42 What do I have to do to get the $500?
02:44 Find Juan Portilla.
02:47 What's he wanted for?
02:48 Grand theft.
02:50 About $10,000 worth.
02:52 He used to ride fence for me, and one fine morning last week,
02:55 he showed up missing.
02:56 The safe here was busted open.
02:59 The cattle sale money was gone.
03:02 What about the local law?
03:03 Local law.
03:06 Local burying society is more like it.
03:09 Last two posses gone out after rustlers
03:11 that buried the men they were after.
03:13 I thought you wanted this man, Portilla.
03:15 I do want him, but I want him alive.
03:18 You see, I hire more than 20 Mexicans on this spread,
03:21 including Juan's father.
03:22 If Juan doesn't get a fair hearing,
03:24 I have to get pretty mean.
03:26 Mean enough to start busting up things
03:28 and maybe come looking for me.
03:30 And you figured I could bring him back in one piece?
03:32 That's part of your reputation.
03:34 That's why I waited for you.
03:36 There were three other men wanted the job.
03:38 I turned them down.
03:40 Much obliged.
03:41 Yeah, but there's more to it.
03:43 Just bringing him back, there's a time element.
03:46 Old Man Parker's coming out from the east,
03:48 and if he finds out about this, I'm gonna lose my job.
03:52 It doesn't say anything in here about a theft.
03:54 Of course not.
03:55 I haven't been able to do anything myself.
03:58 For the past two months, it's been one doctor after another.
04:00 I got to go to Tucson tomorrow to see a specialist.
04:03 I want this whole mess cleaned up before I get back here.
04:07 I can't guarantee that.
04:08 Well, all I ask is that you try.
04:13 You can take the rest of the posters down.
04:14 Good.
04:16 Now, you say this man Portia, he was a fence rider.
04:19 One of the best.
04:20 Did he bunk here?
04:21 He stays out at a range cabin.
04:23 That way, he can cover the whole spread.
04:24 How do I find it?
04:26 Just follow the north fence.
04:27 You can't miss it.
04:28 See you before a week from Friday.

04:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:28 You get around pretty good, don't you?
05:30 I thought you worked at the ranch, not here.
05:32 Are you looking for one or waiting for him?
05:37 That is no business of yours and your bounty hunter.
05:42 Looking for him is my business.
05:44 Your business is to kill him.
05:46 To find him.
05:48 Suppose you look at it this way.
05:49 If I don't go after one, somebody else will.
05:51 Maybe a sheriff, maybe a full posse.
05:53 Think it out, miss.
05:54 Will you stand a better chance with them or with me?
05:58 I don't know.
05:59 Who are you?
06:03 Conchita Morales.
06:05 You must be very fond of one.
06:07 We plan to marry.
06:09 That is why I know he would not steal the money and go away.
06:12 He would not do that.
06:14 He's not that kind of a man.
06:15 Well, I think it's up to him to answer that question.
06:20 All I know is he's gone.
06:26 Something must have happened.
06:28 An accident.
06:29 Well, it was an accident he was ready for.
06:33 He took his clothes with him.
06:34 And you knew that too, didn't you?
06:39 But his winter clothes.
06:40 They're gone too, everything.
06:42 Where does he keep his traps?
06:44 I don't understand.
06:45 Animal traps.
06:46 Fence riders usually have them.
06:47 Oh, in there.
06:56 Where'd he go?
06:57 The sooner you tell me, the sooner you'll see him again.
07:04 I can track him if I have to.
07:06 Once a year, he goes to the pasture.
07:09 The shack is there.
07:11 That's where he went.
07:12 He's out of season.
07:14 If a man wanted to go to a cabin and hide out in the mountains,
07:17 stay a while, he'd take traps from me.
07:19 Juan has nothing to hide from.
07:20 If Juan's innocent, he's got nothing to fear from me.
07:25 If there was no reward, you would not be here.
07:28 Looking for people is my job.
07:29 Finding them guilty isn't.
07:32 To the mountains in the north, there
07:35 is a place they call the George of El Diablo.
07:38 The shack is there.
07:40 You know, if time wasn't important,
07:41 I'd just keep my eyes on you.
07:43 Because he'd show up sooner or later.
07:45 You best ride back now, yeah?
07:47 Let me come with you, please.
07:49 Well, if he shows up, he's going to come to you.
07:51 You'd be better off at the ranch.
07:53 [music playing]
07:55 Tell him I'll be waiting.
08:10 Vaya con Dios.

10:14 [music playing]
10:17 [music playing]
10:39 [music playing]
10:42 Get off me.
10:53 Get off me.
10:54 [music playing]
10:57 Well, you warned me.
11:01 I didn't figure you'd go through with it.
11:02 About what, señor?
11:04 Bushwhacking me.
11:05 Oh, if I wanted to do that, you would be dead now, sir.
11:08 Because you didn't come up here for the ride.
11:11 Señor, put yourself in my place,
11:14 the place of a father who loves his son,
11:16 who wants to see him live.
11:17 I don't know you well enough to figure what you'd do.
11:19 I wish to see my son live.
11:22 I only desire to ride with you, to keep you from harming him.
11:26 I'm an old man.
11:27 I cannot do you any harm.
11:29 It is said you could have killed me if you wanted to.
11:31 A sleeping man.
11:32 It would have been easy, even for a child.
11:35 I told you, your son's got nothing to fear from me.
11:37 And you, señor, you have nothing to fear from me.
11:40 [music playing]
11:43 The way you handle that knife takes years off your age.
11:50 [music playing]
11:53 If your son's up ahead, Portia, you better
12:02 hope he sees you before you start shooting.
12:04 Because if he does, you ain't going to be around no more.
12:08 Now, you get on your horse, yeah?
12:10 [music playing]
12:13 I must have some water.
12:24 [music playing]
12:28 [music playing]
12:31 This may be all for nothing.
12:36 Who can say my boy's gone to the shack?
12:38 You wanted along.
12:40 You're going the rest of the way.
12:42 Just because some silly girl who thinks my boy is in love
12:44 with her tells you such a thing?
12:47 I saw you leave with Kevin.
12:48 Well, she didn't tell me anything I couldn't
12:50 have figured out for myself.
12:52 She's just trying to do what's best for Juan.
12:54 She's jealous.
12:55 She hates him for leaving.
12:58 That's the way she tries to pay him back, by lying.
13:01 Well, if she's lying, we've got nothing to lose but time.
13:04 She will be sorry.
13:05 You know, if I judged Juan by your actions,
13:08 I think I'd think the worst.
13:10 Any man who hunts another man for money
13:11 is no better than the man he's looking for.
13:14 Get on your feet.
13:16 We're moving out.
13:18 Denying old men a moment's rest?
13:21 You're not as old and as tired as you want me to think.
13:23 Come on, let's go.
13:25 [music playing]
13:29 [music playing]
13:32 [music playing]
13:35 [music playing]
13:39 [music playing]
13:42 Hold it.
14:05 [music playing]
14:08 Looks like your son dropped one of his traps.
14:19 My son is not so careless with such things.
14:23 A man does careless things when he gets in a hurry.
14:25 I tell you, senor, this is no accident.
14:27 Accident or not, we know he's been this way.
14:30 Senor, you are a fool.
14:32 You know nothing about my son.
14:34 That's right.
14:35 But I plan to, senor.
14:37 [music playing]
14:40 [shouting]
14:45 [music playing]
14:48 [music playing]
14:51 [music playing]
15:19 The pain, it is here.
15:22 Can you move your legs?
15:25 Maybe something's broken.
15:28 Maybe not.
15:29 I think yes.
15:30 You well enough to travel?
15:42 Senor, you joke.
15:45 Well, I'm going to have to leave you here.
15:47 I'll give you food and water for two days.
15:49 Senor, you leave an old man to die alone?
15:52 Well, uh, what do you suggest?
15:54 Well, for a man such as you claim to be,
15:56 a kind, fair man, there's only one answer.
15:58 Stay here till Luis can travel.
16:01 How long do you figure that might be?
16:04 A few days, maybe a week.
16:06 Ever since you joined me, you've been trying
16:08 to keep me from going after Juan.
16:09 It's been one thing, then another.
16:10 Senor, you have no faith.
16:13 There was nothing wrong with that cinch strap,
16:14 and the saddle didn't slip.
16:16 You just figured if you could keep me here for a while,
16:18 it'd give your boy a chance to get away.
16:20 You think this of me?
16:22 Get up.
16:23 Senor, please.
16:29 I mean it.
16:30 There will be no forgiveness if you do this, Senor.
16:33 On your feet.
16:44 Next time, it's your head.
16:46 You men are real fast.
16:56 For an only son, an old man does many things.
16:59 I hope murder isn't one of them.
17:00 You misunderstand, Senor.
17:02 If I do these things, it is for him, not for myself.
17:06 We better get going.
17:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:37 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
17:39 This belong to Juan, too?
17:45 Si.
17:47 You're thinking the same, huh?
17:48 No man can be that careless, eh?
17:50 For the first time, I agree with you.
17:51 As if he's leaving a trail for us to follow.
17:53 I tried to tell you this from the beginning.
17:54 Something is wrong.
17:55 Something is very wrong.
17:57 Unless he wants to ambush me.
17:58 Then he would have done it, and you would be dead now.
18:01 How much farther?
18:02 Maybe two hours.
18:03 Something is wrong.
18:04 Better we hurry.
18:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:09 You know, for the first time, you're more anxious
18:11 to get there than I am.
18:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:16 [HORSE GALLOPING]
18:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:47 That his horse?
18:50 Si.
18:51 Wait.
18:52 Let me go first.
18:54 I can talk to him.
18:56 All right.
18:57 But don't keep me waiting long.
18:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:13 What?
19:14 It's your father.
19:15 Senorita!
19:25 Senorita!
19:26 Oh!
19:32 It is empty.
19:42 You see, there's no one here.
19:43 He can't be far.
19:50 We'll just wait until he shows up.
19:51 I do not like this.
19:52 He left everything here.
19:53 He'll be back.
19:54 Now, if he stayed here, why is there no sign?
19:56 His clothes, his straps, they've not been used.
19:59 All right, let's take a look around.
20:03 Juan!
20:09 Juan!
20:10 Juan!
20:14 Juan!
20:22 Juan, where are you?
20:23 Juan!
20:27 Save your breath.
20:28 Huh?
20:30 Blood.
20:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:38 Goes to the lake.
20:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:59 Luis?
21:25 Juan.
21:28 Juan!
21:30 Juan!
21:31 [GUNSHOT]
21:32 Stop it!
21:34 Pretty good for a cripple, huh?
21:41 That's what you're thinking?
21:42 I was thinking it's pretty good for something
21:43 that crawls on its belly.
21:44 It can't rival me.
21:46 When I'm ready to kill you, I will.
21:48 Like you killed Juan?
21:49 Not exactly.
21:50 I shot him in the back.
21:52 Why?
21:53 Same reason I got you up here.
21:55 You're going to be Juan's partner in this theft.
21:58 Luis, I didn't figure on him.
22:00 But he can be the third member.
22:02 You'll find three bodies up here now.
22:05 Yeah, you had a falling out with the old man and his son.
22:08 Money will be missing, and I'll figure one of you
22:10 hid it someplace.
22:11 Only Juan didn't steal the money.
22:13 How did you manage it?
22:14 Two months ago, I was trampled by a bronc.
22:17 I let people think I was hurt worse than I was.
22:20 And I sent Juan up here to repair the cabin.
22:23 I followed him up and shot him.
22:25 And I rode back to the ranch and cleaned out the safe.
22:28 Blankets, the trap.
22:29 What was your work?
22:30 Kind of freshening the trail.
22:32 Putting a little bait in the trap.
22:34 You forgot one thing.
22:35 Those ranch hands you were so concerned about,
22:37 they know you were gone when Juan was shot,
22:39 and they'll realize you're missing this time.
22:41 They'll tie you in with it.
22:42 I forgot nothing.
22:43 As far as they're concerned, I'm in Tucson.
22:46 Besides, who'd ever suspect a cripple in a wheelchair
22:49 to ride up here, shoot three men, then ride back again?
22:54 [GUNSHOTS]
22:56 I can't feel a thing.
23:09 My legs are numb.
23:10 You'll be all right.
23:14 I don't want to be like this.
23:16 I don't want to be a cripple.
23:18 You're a little late with the thought.
23:20 It is me.
23:21 I-- you--
23:23 Leave him alone.
23:25 Give me a gun, please.
23:27 Give me a chance.
23:28 Like the one you gave Juan?
23:30 Sorry, Mr. Noonan.
23:31 Fresh out of favors.
23:33 Is the Travis ready?
23:34 Si.
23:35 I'll get the horses.
23:36 And Luis, you leave him alone.
23:43 My son is dead.
23:45 His death will not change that.
23:47 No matter how I feel today, tomorrow will come.
23:52 And I will have to look at it.
