Take it easy, pa,

I'll do some.

Here.

Thank you.

Pa, do you ever get that feelin' that we're the only two

people in the whole world?

Sometimes I do, son, when I look out at that prairie. It's a

big, hard land, mark. Out here everybody gets lonely one time

or another. I think that's enough wood for now, let's have

some supper, huh?

Down, mark!

Pa!

Hello, Lucas.

You're a hard man to kill.

How long has it been?

Jus' last night. Caleich rode by an' found you.

Go after them, Micah.

We're leavin' now, it'll soon be sunup; it woulda been a

Waste o' time tryin' to track 'em in the dark.

Why did they take mark? Ah!

Lucas, Lucas, please lie still.

Lucas.

Buckhart! Ah!

We've been friends a long time, I hope you don't let what

Happened last night change that.

I'm sorry, Sam, you looked like 'im, for a minute you

Looked like 'im.

Like Chaqua?

Chaqua.

That's why I'm here, Lucas, Chaqua is a renegade again.

Micah, put me on a horse.

You'd only slow us down, Lucas.

I'll find 'im if I can, Lucas.

I'll bring 'im back to you, if I can.

Sam, why did he take my son?

To make an Apache of 'im; he came for the boy, Lucas, not for

The horses, not to kill, but for the boy. Chaqua's own son died two

Months ago, he found himself another, one whose father was

Known to be a brave man.

Put this on.

Thanks for leavin' the store an' tendin' me, Hattie. I

Appreciate it.

I won't say for you not to go, Lucas, I love that boy too

Much.

Lucas, the thing is to stay alive, ride easy.

We've been pushin' too hard.

Well, let's go, we can make a few more miles before dark.

Micah, I don't think we're gonna bring that boy back,

Neither do you.

What do you mean?

They've too much of a lead on us, I have a wife, 2 small sons,

I shouldn't have come along in the first place.

Clay?

I think Mr. Toomey is right, mark is gone.

I'm for turnin' back.

Alright, toomey, go ahead, nobody's gonna stop you.

Micah.

It's up to you, toomey, you can turn back if you want.

Lucas, we'll move out in the morning. I can't see in the dark

An' I don't want you droppin' out of the saddle on me.

Alright, Sam.

I'll do that, Lucas.

Unsaddle your horses.

No campfires.

Put this on.

Thanks, Sam.

Sam, would it pay to travel by night, try to out-Guess them?

I don't think so, I don't think you know how to out-Guess

An Apache.

Not even by another one?

I'm a tame Apache, Mr. Caleich, that puts me at a

Disadvantage.

Do you really wanna find 'em, buckhart? I hear tell them

Apaches really have a time for themselves when they catch a...

tame one.

Leave him be, caleich.

Your son, Lucas, your hunt.

How much longer do you think, Sam?

I dunno, I think they've stopped running.

You're gonna have to spell it out for me, I know what the

Cherokee would do.

Well, they're gonna be waitin' for us, like caleich

Says, I'm a tame Apache. I've been livin' with the whites for

Some years now, but I'm still that much Apache. They'll be

Waitin' for us, alright.

This Chaqua, you know 'im?

I know of him, he's a brave man. His son died last winter.

He was 10 years old.

They went through here, it's a good spot for an ambush. We

Could go around.

How long would that take?

A day, a day and a half.

No, Sam.

Aah!

Take cover!

They're gone!

Pull it out!

We're close, Sam. I say we go after them.

No, not this way. Only by stealth now, they outnumber us.

We'll bury him.

McCain, for nothin', he died for nothin'! Your boy's dead.

We'll bury him!

The Lord giveth, the lord taketh away. Blessed be the name

Of the lord.

McCain, I say we go back.

Go back with caleich, I won't stop you, but don't you try to

Stop me.

You've no right to kill these men too.

My boy is up there.

He's alive!

If I thought he was still alive, I'd be the last to turn back.

Ask your friend there. The Apaches don't give their

Prisoners back, Lucas.

I need help, toomey. I counted 5 or 6 of 'em. I need

Help.

No, Lucas, he died for nothin', the boy is lost to ya.

Lucas!

He needs rest.

We'd better make camp. Come on.

Hurry, Sam.

These blankets aren't enough.

Build a fire, he needs to be warmer.

There'll be smoke, I won't be able to stop it. Why pinpoint

Where we are?

Build it!

No, Micah.

He's a strong man, Micah, he'll live.

Without the boy?

Tomorrow I go on alone.

One man? That's not enough, Sam.

You'd better take him back.

You take me back, I'll kill you.

You figure you're gonna be any help, Lucas? I asked you a

Question.

He's my son.

Then let us bring him back for you.

No, one man is not enough, it's a thing one man can't do. I

Don't want another good man dead fightin' my fight. Jus' lemme

Sleep a little, just a little, then we'll go on.

Lucas, can you listen for a little while? You know what the

Apache word "charanga" means?

Hunt.

Not just that, in English you'd say a quiet hunt, a still

Hunt, by stealth alone. It's an Apache word, Lucas, it's a thing

The Apache can do better than anybody else in the world.

Chaqua will not leave his horses, they are to an indian

What gold is to a white man. He must go along those mountains,

Then around and over into Arizona. I can go up, Lucas, I

Can save a day, maybe more. I can follow him; you know the

Cherokee, but I know the Apache.

I know what must be done, I know that if their senses warn them

That something is wrong, they've gotta stop breathing, stop

Living, stop being for the moment, and they have to think

Of happy things. And don't sweat, because they can smell it

And it will kill you. You don't attack by day, but lie quiet,

Wait, an' crawl; crawl so they will not see you, crawl so they

Will not hear you. You must kill them in the darkness, Lucas.

Even the Apache must sleep, that's when you must take them,

Lucas, when they sleep. Toomey is right, the Apache does not

Give back prisoners.

I'll go on about 2 miles, the climb should be easier there.

I'll say it again, Sam, one man is not enough.

We'll see.

Guard the boy!

See if he was alone.

An Apache!

It's buckhart, the marshal.

Let me have him, Chaqua. I waited a long time to play with

This tame one.

No, we'll tie him, take him with us.

The boy! Kill the boy, Chaqua, he means death to us, I

Smell it. Let the man with the rifle bury him.

No, it would be better if you killed him.

Will you make me kill him, brother?

Your son is dead; his skin was brown, not like this.

You fool! This is life, he is an Apache, I will make him so.

The sun will change his skin, and I will change his heart. I

Give this boy my love and my protection, he's my son. One

More night we camp, then we are home. Tie him.

Help him.

Buckhart, is he your friend?

You know him, boy?

Apaches do not cry, only the women.

Chaqua, I am troubled.

What is it, Artak?

I don't know, it may be having the boy and Buckhart

With us. We should have killed them!

Pa!

Lucas!

Mark, untie me.

Get his knife.

You took my boy. You took my boy!
