Original subtitles

This place got a name?

No.

Just take your water and go.

You know, being unfriendly is the best way to arouse a man's curiosity. Did you

ever think of that?

Not many men come here.

We have no reason to be friendly.

You better the next time a man rides in, just let him go through.

Thanks for the water and your help.

I owe you a favor.

You owe me nothing.

Just don't ever come back.

What brings you into town, Josh?

Oh, nothing special. Just passing through.

You said the same thing the last time I saw you.

That was five, six years ago.

When are you putting down some roots, Josh?

I wish I knew.

You know, John, I cut across the flat from Pike Town. About two days out, I

out of water.

But at the same time, I met an Indian with some awful funny ways.

Two days out?

Sounds like Charlie Twohawks.

Old man Hernandez Segundo.

He give you any trouble?

Well, he started to, but the girl showed up. Looked like a breed.

She cooled him off.

Juanita Hernandez.

Old Juan Hernandez has been living out there with his Indians about 15 years

now. It's Charlie Tuhawk. Has he caused any trouble before?

Nothing serious. Run off two, three travelers.

That's about all.

You see old man Hernandez himself?

You know, I saw somebody watching me, but I didn't get a good look at him.

He isn't friendly.

He's got his reasons, I suppose.

Makes a man wonder, though.

Not so much as you'd ask any questions, though, huh? Look, Josh, you know as

well as I do, a lot of men make one big mistake in their lives.

Maybe that's true of Juan Hernandez.

I don't know.

But from what I know of him, if it is true, he deserves a chance.

Well, that's good enough for me.

I don't feel the same way about it, Sheriff.

Nobody asked your opinion, Daimler.

Well, Josh, it's been a long time.

Not long enough.

You know, one of these days you're going to make me mad.

How do I do it, Daimler?

Just stay out of my way.

That's enough.

Did you come in here to make trouble?

I heard what you said about Hernandez, and it strikes me you didn't look very

hard for something on him.

Get out of here, Daimler.

I want to show you something first.

and he's wanted for murder.

There's $500 on him, dead or alive.

This thing's over 15 years old. There's no statute of limitation on murder,

Sheriff. You ought to know that.

There isn't a shred of proof that Hernandez and Vasquez are the same man.

That's where you're wrong.

Vasquez disappeared 15 years ago with his daughter.

A month later, Juan Hernandez shows up here with his kid.

Vasquez's wife was an Apache girl.

Hernandez's kid's a half -breed. You figure it out, Sheriff.

Or maybe you don't want to.

That still isn't proof.

Well, there's more.

Fernandez hiding out there in the desert, never coming into town, having

Indian herders chasing off anybody that happens to ride through. How much more

do you want?

Enough to justify trying a man for murder.

Well, you do it your way.

I'll stick to mine.

Thanks for telling me where to find him, Josh.

thing I can do to stop him.

He'll bring Hernandez in.

Dead. You could ride out there yourself, make sure the old man has a chance to

stand trial.

It's four days out there and back just. That's a long time to leave this town

alone. Just on the chance that Hernandez is really Vasquez and that Damon

intends to kill him for the bounty.

Now you know that's what he's gonna do.

Of course I do, but I can't prove it.

Bounty hunter can gamble on being right, but a lone man can't.

All I can do is hope that Daimler brings in Hernandez alive.

Well, I can do more than that.

I can make sure he does.

Be careful, Josh.

Daimler's dangerous.

And just as fast with a gun as you are.

I'll see you now, Eric.

Take it easy, Daimler.

Just want to talk.

You picked a poor way of going about it. When a man's as fast with a gun as you

are, it's the only way.

All right, you can move now, and you do it slow now, here.

You just made a mistake.

Wouldn't be my first.

Might be your last.

I'll give odds I can drop you before you can fire once.

I bet you'll only lose once, Stainler.

There's nothing for me in killing you.

Then put away your gun. I want to talk.

We got nothing to talk about.

I think we have.

If it's about Vasquez, I'm telling you this.

I'm not splitting a bounty with nobody.

You're not sure there is a bounty. How do you know Hernandez is a man you want?

He'll tell me himself.

Hunted men are all alike.

They follow a pattern that they can't break.

If Hernandez is the wrong man, it'll show by his actions, and I'll leave him

alone. David Vasquez?

He'll make a break for it.

And I'll have to stop him.

Throw your guns out in front of you.

Get back against the rocks.

You were told not to come here.

Sheriff Tatum knows we're here. The name of the man we came to see.

What man?

He calls himself Hernandez.

You kill us...

You ruin the only chance Hernandez has.

Say what you mean.

I told you, the sheriff knows we're here.

If we don't come back, he's going to come looking.

And Hernandez is going to have to answer for what he's done in the past, along

with what you do now.

You'll never come closer to dying, Daimler.

Why'd he waste that first shot?

He could have dropped us both from out there.

He just wanted to make sure we're after Hernandez.

In his own way, he's trying to protect him.

That's all he wants.

All I want is that $500 bounty.

We didn't settle that point, Josh.

It's all yours.

Under one condition.

What is it?

You bring Hernandez in to stand trial, alive.

I don't get you, Randall.

You're supposed to be a bounty hunter.

I am.

I just believe in giving a man a break, whether he's got a price on his head or

not. I gave every man I killed an even break.

Did you?

Look at that callous on your right thumb. That's a mark of a gunman. How

hours a day do you practice thumbing the hammer of a single -action colt?

Now, what chance they got against you?

As much as they got coming.

I don't put the price on their heads. It's their own doing.

What about Hernandez?

Well, I'll tell you, Josh.

It's like this.

You see this?

Don't move.

I'd just as soon blow you apart as look at you.

I told you before I'm splitting a bounty with nobody and I meant it. I'm not

making any promises either.

That Indian out there makes it sure Hernandez is the man I want.

I'm sorry you talked him out of shooting.

Because he had you in his sights first. He could have saved me a lot of butt.

It's still not too late, Patron.

I can still drive these men away.

Kill them if I must.

No.

I will go with these men.

And you will let them pass.

They will kill you.

That is the way of these hunters of men.

I do not think they will harm me. It is the bounty they wish, not my life.

But if I am wrong, you will do as I told you to.

I am alone.

Where is Randall?

I left him behind.

I have come to take you to my father.

I'll just bet you have.

It's more likely you're going to leave me right into the hands of your Apache

brothers. I speak the truth.

I was sent to bring you to my father.

To keep my Apache brothers from killing you.

I'll chance it.

But get one thing straight.

The idea of killing a woman doesn't bother me.

I did not think it would.

All right.

Lead the way. And just remember what I said.

Let's get it over with.

Leave me, senor, if I do not stand up to welcome you.

You know why I'm here, Vasquez.

I expected you.

I was some man like you for a long time.

I didn't come here to talk.

It's a long way to Miles City.

The road is hard and dry.

Grant me the privilege of being hospitable before we start.

Bring us some wine, my dear.

Skin has been so long.

What started you on my trail, senor?

A man your Apaches forced away from here two years ago started checking back on

you. He didn't think it could be proved you were Vasquez.

And you were willing to take that chance.

You were right.

I am Don Diego Vasquez.

Or at least I was.

It was a long time ago.

Juanita's mother was a beautiful woman, senor.

And there was another man.

He took her away with him.

Leaving me and leaving Juanita behind us.

She was dead before I found him.

Not the man.

So I killed him.

When I thought of Juanita, it was too late.

So I brought her here to hide away for a while.

I thought sometime I would go back and face the charges against me.

But each month, each year, it became harder to think of it.

Now we've wasted enough time.

Let's go.

My horse will be waiting, senor.

Get on that horse.

No!

Don't do it, Daimler. I'll see you hang if you do.

It is better this way, my dear.

Well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?

A body to take back for the reward?

The game is over.

You think you have won.

But you were wrong.

You see, I thought of this.

I, too, have posted a bounty.

Oh, no.

Haven't you done enough, Daimler?

Better have him.

He's worth $500 to me.

I didn't want it to be this way.

You must not go with him.

There is nothing you can do.

His father's men will kill him.

Do you care what happens to him?

It's not Daimler I'm worried about.

Do you want Charlie, two hawks, and the others to be hunted down like your

father was?

I gave you the word of my father.

They will not kill him.

Thank you for watching.

What did you do to him?

Now the hunter knows what it is like to be hunted.

I have collected the bounty.

What bounty?

I would have killed him.

But my white brother Hernandez forbid this.

This man has made many enemies.

They are afraid of the swiftness of his gun.

They no longer will be afraid.

What was the bounty?

The thumb from his right hand!
