Howdy!

- What's the name of this place? - Starr.

Light burning on the desert.

Crossroads to the Superstition Mountains and points west.

You know the territory.

I should, I've been here 20 years.

County judge, station agent, horse trader.

Name's Bannister.

Randall. How far for a man to reach the other side of Superstition?

- Lawman? - No.

- Then what do you want there? - A man.

Bounty hunter?

You... ever you seen this man?

No. Never came through here.

Up there, you'll never find him.

He'll be heading for water. Where would I look?

You'll have to stay to the North.

The trail's not marked but there's a canyon.

If he knows the country, that's where he'll head.

- Thanks. - But I wouldn't go after him.

- He give you that? - Yes, we both caught one last night.

It's your neck.

Why not leave this here, so if anyone comes by, I can warn him about...

this Collins.

Yeah, you keep it.

I'll remember what he looks like.

CROSSROADS

- Randall... - It's a small world!

It sure is.

I was hoping you'd catch up with me.

We're both on the same trail, how come you passed me?

I took a shortcut. I didn't know how fast you'd travel.

I want to talk you out of this.

Why?

I don't want to have to come looking for you later.

You may not be a greenhorn but this is not your country.

What's this Collins done that makes him worth dying for?

Well, he killed a sheriff and blew a bank vault in Cleery.

You sure? That's 50 miles south.

I saw it happen, mister.

Look, Bannister, what do you really want?

I told you.

Don't go ahead with this. Next time Collins may be luckier.

Is he... a friend of yours?

Relative?

I don't know... May be my son.

I thought he was dead but that poster...

Well, what if he is your son?

If he is, I'll be against you.

I see.

I'm not sure at all it's Jody.

That your boy's name?

Three years ago, the army wrote me he was killed on a mission in Juarez.

They couldn't recognize the body so maybe they were wrong.

But I do know one thing, he'd never turn to crime!

- Not much. - Don't make light of this.

Not hardly.

What makes you think he's alive?

Just my faith, mister.

Alright, let's say this man is your son.

Any idea where he might go?

Well, there's a cabin up in Adobe Canyon.

A hunting cabin we built 15 years ago.

If it is Jody and he's in trouble,

he might hide there.

If I go along and show you the way

and if it turns out to be Jody,

- will you give him a break? - Depends what you mean.

Let him walk back, without trouble.

I'd give him that chance.

He's kinda careless, letting me get this close.

How do you know it's even Collins?

Been trailing that horse long before I met you.

If he's my son, I don't want him killed.

Even if he isn't, I don't want him killed.

Wait a minute...

Let me call to him.

If it's Jody, maybe I can get him to come out.

Listen, he's killed 3 men already, he wouldn't mind making it 4.

I'm well aware of that, Randall.

Jody!

Big man...

Nobody gonna tell me...

Never saw him before in my life.

Didn't get away with a single dollar, did he?

I guess not.

That bullet's gotta come out. How are you with a knife?

I've had some practice.

Get me the bottle out of my bag.

Bandage him up.

Listen.

What are you...

You're gonna live a bit longer.

When are you planning to travel?

He'll be ready to go first thing tomorrow.

How'd you find this place?

You're not very talkative.

One more day would have saved us both trouble.

Could've just buried you.

Well, things kinda work themselves out, Randall.

Now you don't have to watch me, I don't have to watch you.

We'd better watch those horses, put 'em in the corral.

Why?

Apaches! If they get the chance they'll run 'em off.

I'll spell you in a coupla hours.

Alright.

You have to get some rest.

If I were you I'd take off that gunbelt.

You know, just in case of a tie.

Stay out of his reach.

Pa...

Don't worry Jody, your pa's right here.

Sit up. Sit up!

Kick me.

You alright? I'm turning in.

Yeah, I'm alright. Go ahead.

He bought it.

- How'd you hear him coming up? - I knew.

Try to get some rest because tomorrow you're gonna need it.

Pa... why wait until then?

What do you mean?

There's just no reason to hang around here.

What about Randall?

What about him?

No, I don't want him hurt.

Jody, why did you do all this?

I was scared, Pa.

The most scared in all my life.

Alright, son.

I ran away from fighting down in Juarez.

I left my papers on another man down there.

Then when the army pulled out,

well, I joined up with 3 deserters.

Why didn't you come home?

I was a fool, Pa.

I know that, I know I was.

Then they talked me into robbing a bank with them...

Then it was too late to come back.

We've got till tomorrow morning.

I'll think of something.

I never killed a man.

I believe you, Jody.

What are you looking at?

Lucky to find this place for someone who's never been up here before.

What's the difference? He's here now.

Better watch the horses. It's 4 a.m., I want to get going before dawn.

I can't ride with this arm.

You rode in with it.

You feel real sure of yourself.

No.

That'd always give the other fella the edge.

Get me outta here, Randall. Gonna get caught.

Apaches will kill the horses. The old man never killed an Indian!

Bannister, you alright?

Apaches. Four of 'em..

I didn't even hear a sound till it was too late.

Which way did they go?

Forget it. You're looking for shadows.

We're lucky to have one horse left.

Only one horse.

With them still on the prowl we'd be foolish to try to get out of here.

Even without a wounded man.

What do you suggest?

I can stay with Collins, you go back to my place and get some horses.

You'd make it back in a day and a half.

Alright, if that don't make sense, you come up with a better idea.

It makes sense.

- Where'd you get 'em? - There were no Apaches, boy.

Pa, there was Apaches!

No, I just wanted you to play it natural.

I scattered the horses. Scratched my head on a rock.

We're getting out of here, Randall won't be back for a day and a half.

You can give me a gun now. You got another gun?

Take it easy. We've got a long ride ahead of us.

- Ride where? - Mexican border.

When he's back, that's where you'll be.

You came through, Pa.

I only did what I had to do. No more.

When we get you safe, I'll turn myself in.

Why, Pa? Nobody knows.

I know.

You had me going. It'd have worked if the boy hadn't given it away.

You started yelling how your father felt about Indians.

How'd you know how a stranger feels about Indians?

Away from the table, boy.

Kill him!

Kill him now!

You lied to me, boy.

Come on, Pa, give me the gun!

You're going back.

The least I can do is bury him.

Signed and sealed, Mr. Randall.

Take that to the marshal in Cleery, you'll collect your reward.

Yeah.

Mr. Bannister, I feel kind of in the middle over this.

But the boy was a killer.

In your shoes, I'd have done the same thing.

I wonder.

I won't tell them he was your son or how he died.

Don't worry, Mr. Randall.

My boy died 3 years ago.
