♪♪

They're in working order, every one of 'em.

Where's Chief Stone Eagle?

North.

He said you have been paid.

Oh, sure, sure.

I picked up all them furs three weeks ago over in Fox Canyon.

Stone Eagle always pays me in advance.

He trusts me.

Because you know what will happen if you fail him.

Oh, now, I ain't ever failed Stone Eagle yet, have I?

Stone Eagle says you bring more guns soon.

Fine.

Where, how many?

He meet you... Oak Springs.

He tell you.

I'll be there two weeks from now.

You tell him.

♪♪

Hey.

Who are you anyway?

The law, mister.

Get your hands behind you.

Well, what do you want me for?

Right, come here.

What's your name?

Serpa.

Serpa, huh?

All right.

That's the name you'll be tried under.

Tried for what?

I've been following you a long time, mister.

I saw the whole thing.

If you've been following me, how come you didn't jump me sooner?

Stone Eagle's braves are all over this countryside.

I'd just as soon not attract their attention.

They'd skin you alive.

That's why I fixed it so there wouldn't be any shooting.

Well, you wasted your time, lawman.

Ain't no reward money out for me.

Good.

Then, maybe I'll just put a bullet in you

about half a mile from Dodge.

You got something against me personal?

You ever see a ranch

when Stone Eagle's braves get through with it?

I'm going out there and getting my horse,

and if I hear one sound out of you,

I'm gonna come back here and kick your teeth in.

All right.

It's about time.

Oh, that's a mean way to haul a man, Marshal.

The Indians got a meaner way.

Let's go.

What'd you do with my food, Marshal?

Right here in the saddlebags.

You can ride one of your team horses.

- Let's get mounted. - Get mounted?

Yeah, we're gonna leave the wagon here; it's too slow.

Now, you look, Marshal.

I ain't going nowhere without that wagon.

That's my wagon.

Serpa, we went a round last night.

Now, we can do it again if that's what you want,

but the wagon stays here.

What do I do with that other one... turn him loose?

So your Indian friends will get suspicious?

Bring him along.

♪♪

What's the matter?

Indians.

You can't get away from 'em now, Marshal.

They look like Pawnees... Same as that raiding party.

Probably a hunting party on their way back

to join the others.

Serpa, I know what you got in mind,

but it's not going to work.

What do you mean?

Now, you figure maybe 'cause you're a friend of Stone Eagle,

you'll tell these men what you're up to

and they'll kill me or something?

Well, now, let me tell you, I'll put about three bullets in you

before I die,

so you'd better think about it real hard.

I'm Serpa, big friend of Stone Eagle.

You bring guns?

I left a load of 'em with Little Fox.

You no come alone.

Oh, uh, this is my partner.

He rode out to meet me.

Partner have two guns.

You have none.

Well, you see, that's on account of my horse here.

He keeps trying to throw me.

He ain't used to being rode.

Wheel froze up and we had to leave the wagon behind.

You come back, more guns?

I ain't never failed Stone Eagle yet, have I?

Well, if they don't know now,

they'll know as soon as they find that wagon.

Let's ride out of here, come on.

♪♪

You gonna sit there all night?

I never heard of Indians attacking at night.

We'll be in the country for another hundred miles.

You still think you're going to make it?

Suppose you let me worry about that, huh?

Well, you ain't got much going for you, Marshal.

They got everything.

Yeah.

They got guns, too, haven't they?

Man's got to make a living, ain't he?

Serpa, if you had any conscience,

your life wouldn't be worth living.

I just worry about myself, Marshal,

like every other man if he was honest enough to admit it.

Let me tell you something, Serpa,

you're the worst kind of man there is, red or white.

Well, Marshal, it'll be daylight in a little while.

You ain't getting nervous, are you?

♪♪

♪♪

Well, Marshal, how are they treating you?

Everything all right?

Oh, they're real friendly people.

They'll give you some water tonight.

They don't want you to die.

Say, how's that head wound?

Giving you any trouble?

It's fine.

You're lying.

Your head's about to bust open.

I can tell from your eyes.

Don't you worry about me, Serpa.

Oh, now, it don't worry me none.

I won't start worrying

till they really go to work on you,

when Stone Eagle gets here.

When will that be?

Three days.

Three more days of this

and you'll look like a piece of bacon.

I'll be back, Marshal.

Now, don't you run off.

My son.

You kill my son.

That was a battle, ma'am.

I had no choice.

His blood run onto earth like water.

She brought you some water, huh, Marshal?

I told you they would.

You know something?

I just ate the finest antelope stew

I ever ate in my life.

There was so much of it, we couldn't finish it.

You're wasting your time, Serpa.

Well, I got lots of time, Marshal.

Say, you notice something?

There ain't no guard out here.

Now, that's an insult, ain't it?

I could kick your head in and nobody would even see it.

You do that, Little Fox will have you

staked out here tomorrow.

Yeah.

Well, I can wait.

Anyway, the way they're gonna kill you

is gonna be much more amusing than that.

♪♪

All right, let's get going, Little Fox.

He got a seven-hour start on us.

On foot?

A man can travel a long way on foot in seven hours.

They find his trail?

Yes.

What is it, Little Fox?

Track, fresh.

Stop here.

We spread out now.

I'll go with these two.

♪♪

♪♪

Now, get up.

All right, let's go.

Go on.

Come on.

Get up here.

Hold it.

Get down here.

Now, let's go. Get the saddle off this.

Throw it behind that bush there.

Come on, get moving.

Hey!

What you run the horse off...

One more sound like that out of you

and you're a dead man.

You think you're gonna walk out of this country, you're crazy.

Another thing,

what do you think happens when they find that horse?

You've got that figured out yet?

I'm hoping they don't, but if they do,

they're not gonna taking either one of us alive, Serpa.

You ain't got a chance,

not a chance in the world.

All right, get going.

Come on, go.

♪♪

Now, get down there.

I can't stand much more of this.

It beats being staked out in the sun, Serpa.

You plan to stay here till we rot?

No, just till dark.

Then we move.

Ain't very dark, is it?

It's dark as it's gonna get.

Then they shouldn't have any trouble finding us.

Now, Serpa, let me tell you something.

You better hope they don't find us.

Let's go.

I ain't used to this walking, Marshal.

I thought you was just gonna travel at night.

Why don't you quit your complaining and shut up?

A man can't walk forever.

Well, the U.S. Calvary.

Oh, I sure hope they got plenty of water.

Hello.

Captain.

Hey, fella, how about some water, huh?

I-I'm about to die.

- Hello, Captain. - Here, some water for you.

Oh, thanks.

Could sure use it.

Name's Dillon.

I'm the marshal over in Dodge City.

Well, what happened to you, Marshal?

Well, I'm bringing this prisoner in,

ran into some trouble out there on the prairie.

Thanks.

You out here afoot?

Yeah.

The Indians got our mounts.

Sergeant?

Yes, sir?

Bring that horse up.

Smith, bring that mount up!

We got one already saddled for you.

Belonged to a hunter we found.

Pawnees got him.

Stone Eagle's clan probably.

How'd you know?

Well, they're the ones we ran into out here.

Maybe you could help me, Marshal.

I'm looking for a man who's been running guns

to Stone Eagle's bunch.

That so?

His name's Serpa.

That's all I know about him.

Well.

That him?

That's him, Captain.

Sergeant?

Yes, sir?

Take charge of the prisoner.

Oh, no, wait a minute, Captain.

I can get him into Dodge from here easy.

Sorry, Marshal, orders.

But your orders don't have anything to do with me.

I'm afraid they do.

What do you mean?

"This man will be taken into custody

"by the United States Calvary or given into custody

"by any law enforcement officer under the jurisdiction

"of this department.

A.J. Roberts, War Department, Washington, D.C."

As a U.S. Marshal, you're included in that order.

Yeah.

That's the way it reads, all right.

Sergeant, take the prisoner to the rear.

Yes, sir. Come on.

Come on, move.

Marshal,

I'll see that you get full credit.

I'm not worried about that, Captain.

They're not gonna raise my pay any.

You've been through a lot.

I put in a day's work, all right.

Good luck to you.

Yeah, thanks.
