There's money in beef, but it doesn't come easy.

There's a market for all the steers you can raise.

But it's a thousand miles away.

You get top prices only for top cattle.

Pushing the herd up the trail is only half the job.

You've got to get it there in good shape.

It takes tough men working long hours for low wages,

staring trouble in the face at every bend in the trail.

I'm one of 'em.

Gil Favor, trail boss.

Any sign of him?

No. I only went out six or seven miles though.

That's all I told you to go.

Yeah, but I could've gone more, boss.

No.

You better get back to the herd where you belong, kid.

Mr. Favor sure won't like it

if he finds you out here, uh, soldiering like this.

Man gets awful hot out there, Jim.

I've been out there three or four hours.

Why aren't you out watching the beeves, Teddy?

The beeves are too hot to move, Mr. Favor.

Well, you always got a choice.

You can stand guard...

draw your pay.

What's eatin' on him, Jim?

We're in Cheyenne country.

Pete's been gone two days.

He's got a right to be bothered.

Get back to your beeves, Teddy.

Oh, Pete, old partner.

Boss is sure gonna be glad to see you.

I'm kinda glad to be here too, Jim.

Where is he?

Try the chuck wagon.

Thanks.

Well, where is he anyhow?

All right. He'll be back

soon as Scarlet finds him.

Ah, thi... This is real good, Wishbone.

Really is.

Who cooked it?

What happened to you, Pete?

Cheyenne. Ran into 'em about noon yesterday.

On the trail?

Smack on it.

I swung off about ten miles

and hid out in an old willow sink till it got dark.

My doggone horse kept stomping around making noise.

I had to turn him loose.

I spent the rest of the night tracking him...

carrying my saddle on my back while I was doing it.

A huntin' or war party?

I couldn't make out any paint from where I was.

About how many?

I saw two different parties.

About 40 or 50 in each.

According to the sign, there's plenty more of 'em

scattered around out here.

All bucks?

Best I could tell, they're all bucks.

Rowdy...

you'd better let the guards know.

Scarlet...

you take up a spot opposite Teddy.

Yes, sir.

I'd like to go on guard too, Mr. Favor.

All right, Collins. You and Beckstrom, saddle up.

Soon as you get out there, uh,

Rowdy will let you know where to sit guard.

Mushy.

You wanna pull out

my bedroll for me?

Oh, sure thing, Mr. Nolan.

You'll feel better after you've rested a couple hours.

Well, I feel pretty good right now,

just being back.

That is, I did feel pretty good till I just saw somethin'

that turned my stomach.

All right! Let me at him.

Break it up. Let me at him.

I didn't start this, Mr. Favor.

He just tied into me.

No reason at all.

When did he join this drive?

Back at Helper's Trading Post,

right after you left.

What's it all about?

He's a stinkin' bounty hunter,

that what it's all about.

Took a friend of mine in for murder one time,

let a mob hang him.

Well, the next day they found out

they hung the wrong man.

Daggett didn't care.

He was gone with his stinkin', lousy blood money.

All right, Pete, that's enough.

Jesus, look at you.

What would a stinkin' bounty hunter

want with... a drover's pay?

I'd like to know that.

All right, I was a bounty hunter.

Man can't be right in everything he does.

But I give it up ten years ago,

and I been punching cattle ever since.

You hear him admit it? He was a bounty hunter.

Ten years ago, that's a long time.

Seems to me the townsfolk were wrong, not him.

You mean you're gonna let him stay?

He can handle cattle. We need the men.

You better get some rest.

I don't need any rest.

Daggett.

Ah...

Thanks.

Like to talk to you.

Yeah?

I didn't, uh...

peg you right off.

Not until you tangled with Nolan out there.

But I've heard about you.

When did you say you quit, uh, bounty huntin'?

What's it to you?

Same line of work.

I figure we're on this trail for the same reason.

Uh, bounties.

For whites the Cheyennes captured.

Government's payin', uh, 500 apiece

for their return, ain't it?

You here for that reason?

Same as you. I knew the herd was trailing

through Cheyenne country.

Say, why don't you, uh, throw in with me?

One man can't do too much alone.

Not against the Cheyenne anyway.

I been figurin' on getti" a bunch of these drovers

to come in with me.

Ain't enough in it for that, is it?

You been readin' penny-ante posters.

Take a look at this one.

"Reward. $8,000 in gold coin

"will be paid for the recovery of Nancy Curtis,

captured by Cheyenne Indians."

Eight thousand bucks.

Lot of men willing to take chances for a share

of that kind of money.

Better be careful of Mr. Favor.

I don't want Mr. Favor.

All I want is some of his men.

Thank you, Mr. Favor,

for coming this way.

Oh, it's good graze.

It's a little way off the trail.

That's my place just up ahead.

Sure you want to stop?

Sometimes old scars don't heal

as hard as you think.

It's been a long time, Mr. Favor.

I wanted to see it.

That's a kitchen you're in, Mr. Favor.

Parlor was right here.

I remember my...

wife used to like

to sit there by the fireplace.

Little Linda, she was just five.

I married kinda late.

They're both buried right off there.

Yeah, it's been a long time.

Was it Cheyenne, Collins?

That's right.

Cheyenne.

I'm... afraid it's time we got moving.

Sure, Mr. Favor. Sure.

Mr. Favor.

Who put this up?

Daggett...

you have anything to do with this?

Don't know nothing about it, boss.

Read it though.

Enough to make the gall rise in anybody

calls himself a man.

Ah, let's forget it.

We're driving beeves, nothing else.

Saw a bunch of tracks leading away from the herd.

I figure we're missing about a dozen steer.

Whoever cut 'em out was riding ponies.

Probably Cheyenne.

Where at?

That bend back about a mile.

I guess they used the hills for cover.

I'd better take a look.

Look, them Cheyenne are right on our tail.

They're probably a lot more back there.

I just want to see what's going on.

Well, that's my job.

Would've been, if you hadn't got so messed up.

Let Rowdy know where I am.

Hello there.

Buenas días.

My party's back a ways.

We're pushing a herd.

You know what I'm saying?

I know.

You are the chief?

Trail boss.

My name's Favor.

Manso.

Cheyenne chief.

Uh, some of your, uh,

people took a bunch of our steers.

I ride to your herd.

Pay for them.

Pay?

We are not thieves.

The steers aren't mine to sell though.

We...

need steer for eating.

Hunting has been poor.

But I, uh... I just can't sell 'em.

You people...

Some of you...

But most of you come to kill.

Nothing... but kill.

Not most of us. Just some of us.

Too many, some of us!

I learn the white man way.

My father...

he thought your way might be better.

I... do not think so.

I'm sorry.

You are not sorry.

But I think you have...

more understanding than the others.

What do you want?

Talk with you.

Hold it, Indian. Drop the rifle.

Drop it!

Take him.

Nancy Curtis.

You understand the name, Indian?

Nancy Curtis.

I don't care about them other captives.

Keep 'em.

But Nancy Curtis means something to me.

Know what I mean?

Do you hear me? I asked you a name, Indian.

Nancy Curtis.

You beginning to get the name now? Nancy Curtis.

Is she a captive of yours?

Who told you to leave the herd?

We thought you might need a little help.

Let him go, Houk.

Look, Mr. Favor, these Cheyenne,

they got white captives, women, slaves.

What's wrong with trying to find out about them?

You were hired on to drive herd,

nothing else.

That's what's wrong.

Lets get back to it.

Why... you do this?

Well, I don't hire my men on

to... make trouble.

Those two... disobey?

Maybe they didn't understand so good.

Kill them. You are chief.

Can't do that.

But maybe now they'll understand a little bit better.

I...

think... you will be sorry.

La-ra-nah.

La-ra-nah!

Went through. Good.

I take your gun.

La-ra-nah.

You have bad people.

I also...

have bad people.

You don't let 'em stay...

Stay bad for very long.

Cheyenne law.

I say we come hunt, not fight.

I am chief.

He dies.

How you...?

How you feel?

Oh, good enough to get in the saddle...

get back to the herd...

if it's all right with you.

What's up? Where you been, anyway?

Trying to help the boss.

You never helped anybody in your life.

You keep out of this, Nolan.

Mr. Favor got caught by the Cheyenne. We come to get help.

You better mount up, we'll show you where he is.

Now, wait a minute.

You mean, you saw him get caught,

you didn't try to do anything about it?

I told you to stay out of this.

Well, you comin' or ain't you?

Wait a second. Hold on, Daggett.

You said you used to be a bounty hunter...

and we go and find a bounty poster

stuck on the wagon.

Who are you, anyway?

And who gave you permission to leave the herd?

You wanna sit still for this?

Waiting around while the Cheyenne

go to work on your boss, huh?

You got a way of lyin' to get what you want, Daggett.

I think you're lying now.

Mr. Favor knew those Cheyenne were out there.

And he's got sense enough to keep from getting caught.

Yeah, well... we've been in tough situations before.

Anyway, the rule is we stay here.

We stay right here with the herd.

That's Mr. Favor's rule.

We got no room for troublemakers around here, Daggett.

You're fired.

Houk, you are too.

You're not the boss.

Suppose we don't want to be fired?

I guess you think you got a choice?

What about the pay we got coming?

Step over to the wagon.

Water.

Water.

Mm.

Thanks.

Tah-pai?

That was good.

What's your name?

You understood when I...

When I said water.

Water? No.

No.

Your skin.

It's very white.

I'm not giving Daggett anything.

It's been 24 hours since the boss left.

Look, Pete, I know how you feel,

but we're sticking with the herd.

This is Cheyenne country.

He's out there alone, Rowdy.

Well, I'm bettin' on the boss.

You didn't come up with anything yesterday

when you were out hunting for him.

I told you that's because night

come on to me too quick.

Let's get the men, and go back and look for him.

And leave this herd wide open?

We're staying right here, Pete.

Look out there.

It's Mr. Favor, bringing back the beef.

Who are you?

Manso, Chief of Quay Cheyenne.

What are you doing with those cattle anyway?

Bring them back.

Promise your chief.

What do you mean?

Your chief... Favor,

got hurt.

He's all right.

Back two... three days.

Well, where is he?

He...

is all right.

Let him go.

Let him go?

Rowdy... do you believe him?

Well, he brought the cattle back.

Oh. Hello.

Water?

No. No thanks. Not now.

Not now.

Understand that?

Not now.

My name's Favor.

Favor?

That's me. My name.

You?

Winoka.

Winoka.

Winoka...

did you ever have...

other name?

Other name?

Yes, like...

Like Nancy.

Nancy.

Nancy?

Winoka...

what about your other name?

My name Winoka.

Other name. Like Nancy?

Nancy... Curtis?

Nancy Curtis.

How does that sound to you?

I don't know.

Oh. Don't worry.

It'll all come back.

Look.

H-h-have you got anything...

Something that... That isn't Cheyenne?

Um...

here, I-I'll show you.

Ring?

Um... necklace?

No. Uh...

not Cheyenne.

Um... bracelet.

Uh, necklace.

When you...

very small.

"N.C."

Nancy Curtis.

Me?

Not much doubt.

You have a family.

Family?

Are there more here that...

are like you?

Not here.

Main camp.

Maybe...

ten.

Manso...

you can't keep white people with your tribe

against their will.

We do not keep them here

against their will.

What about her, and the others?

I know they're captives.

They slaves?

Winoka is no slave.

You... ask her.

Winoka...

do you know what "slave" means?

Slave?

Paino.

Me... no slave.

Hara-ki.

No. No, Winoka.

Stay, please.

I do not want...

to fight you.

I want my people to have peace with yours.

I want the same thing.

I just think that Winoka ought to have a choice

of staying here or being with her own people.

We are...

her people.

We have raise her since she is this high.

We are her family.

You've got to understand...

her real parents are still alive,

and they want her.

Just as you would want your child.

They've never given up

searching for her.

I don't know how you got ahold of her,

but... you must have taken her from her people by force.

It was war.

While my men hunt...

the white soldiers raid our village...

kill our women...

old men and children.

Then we make our own raid.

We kill.

But we do not kill women and children.

We bring children back

to take places of...

those we have lost.

I understand.

But she should still have the right to choose.

Staying here she'll...

She'll never know which kind of a life

is better for her.

Winoka... will you come with me

to your own people?

I...

want to stay with my people.

You see.

No, Manso.

Decision isn't up to you, or to me, or...

Or even to her.

Until she's had a chance

to decide for herself.

You...

will leave here, Mr. Favor.

But I'll come back, Manso.

If you still refuse to leave her go...

I'll have other men with me.

You save my life... I save your life.

I respect you.

When we meet again...

we meet as enemy.

Hyah!

Rowdy...

you get on down there and stop the herd.

Call all the men together.

You all right?

Yeah.

Sure.

Oh, Pete. I want to see Daggett and Houk first thing.

You can't do that boss. They ain't here.

Rowdy fired 'em.

Good.

Hey, hold 'em up, will you, Jim?

Then come on back to the chuck wagon.

Right.

Hold up, Wishbone.

Whoa.

Hold up. Mr. Favor's back.

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Where you been, Mr. Favor?

He'll tell you when he gets ready.

You, uh, gonna want some help getting down.

No, I better stay

where I am.

I've got more riding to do.

I've just come back from the camp of the Cheyenne.

I got hurt, they took good care of me.

Their chief's a good man,

and he doesn't want war.

Only trouble is...

he's got a captive, a white girl.

Didn't want to let her go.

Maybe she wants to go home, maybe not.

Point is, she hasn't really got a choice.

I wanna go back and get her.

I'll need some help,

some of you wanna come along with me.

I've got nothing to do. I'll go, Mr. Favor.

You got a man here. Me too.

I'll take a crack at them Cheyenne.

Boss, you ain't really serious about this?

We can let 'em know at Fort Davis.

They'll take care of it.

Would take a couple weeks.

Cheyenne would be gone by then.

You're risking the herd, stirring up Cheyenne.

Pete...

Boss, I wanna go with you.

I wanna see that captive set free too.

But we've come this far with the herd...

Pete, that's the reason I want the herd to push on.

The ones who stay here with me

will be volunteerin'.

We'll have to take our chances

on never getting back to the herd.

I say we go after them Cheyenne,

free that girl.

Is that girl's name Nancy Curtis, Mr. Favor?

It is.

Rowdy... you take over the herd.

I'll take eight men. No more.

Sure didn't take 'em long to get outta here.

What chance have we got, of following them?

Cheyenne move, they move fast.

We got no chance at all.

Take a look.

Did she get here?

She just rode in.

Seems to know you though.

Hello there.

Glad you're here.

I don't know if I glad or not.

Why did you come?

The sight of you...

your words... make me remember.

Remember what?

I don't know.

But others have talked to me in your words,

long time past.

Your words make me want to go back.

Don't you worry about it.

We'll see that you get back.

Back to your family.

How will it be?

Maybe when they see me...

they don't want me.

No. No, you're gonna be all right.

Cheyenne all I know.

Maybe I get lost...

in between.

Maybe family won't like me.

Miss...

Now, miss, don't you worry

about your family not liking you.

They're gonna fall over themselves.

They'll hug you so tight,

you won't be able to take two breaths in a row.

No, don't you worry. Not a bit.

Thank you.

Mr. Favor.

I think Cheyenne ain't gonna take this kindly.

Us having that girl.

No, and this ain't the best spot

for holding off an attack either.

Mr. Favor.

That girl there.

She Nancy Curtis?

That's right.

There's $8,000 reward for her.

What's that got to do with you?

Well, I rode in that Cheyenne camp with you, Mr. Favor.

I took my chances,

along with the rest of us.

I figure part of that money belongs to me.

You didn't find her.

She walked in of her own accord.

Well, that's unfair, Mr. Favor.

Somebody's entitled to that reward.

I think the rest of the drovers feel the same way.

That right?

I figure I got something coming, boss.

How many of you feel you have to collect for this?

All of us, Mr. Favor.

Let 'em speak for themselves.

All right, how about it?

That's about the way we feel, boss.

You want me to pay 'em off now?

As of now.

Scarlet too.

That's all for me?

You firing us, Mr. Favor?

I want you out of this camp

as quick as you draw your money.

Your men leave...

because you kind to me?

Oh. Those kind would leave anyway.

They would not.

But you would let them leave...

before you would turn me away?

With pleasure.

It's an everyday thing, letting 'em go.

I do not believe you.

How are we gonna get along,

losing this many men?

We'll get along.

Pay 'em off.

Think he's got more with him?

Let him come in.

I come... for Winoka.

She's here because she wants to be here.

I bring back your cattle.

It is right.

Now... you give me Winoka.

She's made her own choice.

My people come to hunt.

I have...

hunters all around.

I set fires...

hunter become warrior.

That'll have to be up to you.

Manso.

You have been good,

kind to me.

But...

Speak your own tongue.

I speak the tongue of my people.

Cheyenne are your people.

I love Cheyenne.

All of them.

But look at the others.

I am like them.

I...

see only men, Winoka.

Am I...

not a man?

The finest, bravest.

But these are my own kind.

It is not for you to decide.

I take Winoka.

She stays here, Manso.

I want two men guarding the girl at all times.

Break out the rifles, plenty of ammunition.

Alrighty.

Still think we ought to be fired, Mr. Favor?

Get your money, get out.

Boss, will you listen to me a minute?

That girl ain't even sure

she wants to go with us.

I know you think you're right about this,

but this could be the means of us all getting wiped out.

Well, let's hope not.

With the odds the way they are, what else can we expect?

You can't fight every battle

with the odds in your favor, Pete.

It'll take Manso a while

to get his braves together.

We'll get out first thing in the morning.

Ah. Good morning, old Quince.

How you feel this morning?

Sleepy.

Quince. Yeah.

Wake up the girl. Tell her it's time for breakfast.

Sure, boss.

Morning, Mr. Favor.

How do you feel this morning?

Fine. Thanks, Wish.

Ah, some good hot coffee,

that's what you need.

She's gone, Mr. Favor. Gone?

I don't know how she got away

without us knowing it.

Lived with the Indians, didn't she?

Well, why would she do a thing like that?

Maybe went back to the Cheyenne.

Probably figured she was making too much trouble for us.

She could get real lost in this country.

Yeah. Get the horses saddled.

Tell Pete.

Yes, sir.

You got no business out here alone.

From now on, I'm gonna take care of you.

Please... let me go.

I go back, Manso will not attack Mr. Favor.

Please... don't stop me now.

Please.

Let $8,000 go? After all this time?

Not a chance.

Come on. You're money in the bank.

Company joined her here.

Five or six of 'em.

Horses are all shod,

so they ain't Cheyenne.

Yeah, Beckstrom and the others.

Mr. Favor.

What do you want, Scarlet?

I left 'em, Mr. Favor.

I don't want any part of Daggett's play.

Daggett?

Him and Houk was camped

at the watering hole we came to.

We joined up.

I didn't think it was wrong.

But I do now.

How's the girl?

Daggett's acting like he owns her.

Acting like he's gonna take his own good time

getting her back to her folks.

You want to show us where they are?

I can show you where they was when I left.

Ah, it's no good, boss.

Ever since we crossed that loose sand back there,

where the tracks blowed away, I've been guessing.

Scarlet?

I don't know.

I didn't think it would be too hard to trace 'em

from the spot I lead you to.

There's something that ain't hard to trace.

Looks like your Cheyenne friend

is calling in his braves.

Pete, you and the others get on back to the herd.

What about you?

I'm chasing down that smoke signal.

Well, good luck.

Nah-toh.

You come to give back Winoka?

No.

You come to die?

I come for help.

Help?

Winoka's gone.

Bounty hunters have her.

Your people are all around.

I figure you have the best chance of finding her.

They...

are the same man who beat me.

The same.

And there's more men with them.

Come.

My men find them.

How are you so sure?

See flash? There.

Other there.

What we look for is between.

How long before your people come?

Maybe little time.

Maybe... more.

That may be too late.

I'm going in.

You not wise when you not kill them.

You not wise now.

Go before my hunters come.

Hold it!

We seen you all the way.

Get their guns.

Visitors, huh?

You come together?

We've come to get you.

You might be something as a trail boss, Favor,

but you weren't smart coming here.

You and your friend probably got others coming,

so we're not gonna hang around.

And we can't be bothered with you.

I guess I...

had enough of him, Mr. Favor.

'Course I know that don't go against

my not listening to you

against my walking out on you.

Not good fight.

Not good.

You're not gonna hand us over to them, are you, Mr. Favor?

You kn... You know what they'll do to us.

You want us punished,

hand us over to the law.

The white man's law.

You turn 'em loose unarmed,

they... can't do any harm.

Go.

Oh, Teddy.

I'm a little shorthanded.

Uh, you can come along with me, if you want.

Thanks, Mr. Favor.

Manso, um...

you take real good care of her.

You tell my family I'm alive.

I'm thinking of them.

But maybe not tell 'em where I am.

Hey, Quince.

You lose the herd?

Lookie yonder.

Winoka.

Manso say I come with you.

He want what best for me.

Maybe best for Cheyenne people too.

They no longer alone on the prairie.

White men come in

like waters in the spring flood.

Maybe no more Cheyenne law.

Like so many Cheyenne warriors...

gone.

Manso say he send others later.

Manso's a wise man.

Fine and brave man.

I was to be his bride in fall.

You want to ride with me?

I would like to.
