This is a drover.

He's tough, and he's durable.

He has to match his strength and skill

against the orneriness of cattle.

Normally, he's steady going and dependable.

'Cept once in a while, when the orneriness

of the cattle rubs off on him.

Then I've got a problem.

And it's usually a bad one.

My name's Gil Favor, trail boss.

All right, all right.

Enough.

Come on. That's enough.

Two keep beatin' on each other like that,

by the time we get to Sedalia,

won't be nothing else left to do but fight,

'cause no woman's gonna take a look at you.

Ask him if he's had enough. Now, look who's...

Come on, that's enough!

Well, that's so's I don't

have to tell Mr. Favor.

Come on, Jim.

They sure don't act like

they was mad at each other.

Who said they was?

Well, they was fightin', wasn't they?

How can they beat each other up

and be so friendly?

You sure got a lot to learn.

What's wrong?

Had to stop for Quince.

Said he needed a drink of water.

Couldn't wait till we make camp?

Not him.

What are you doing, throwin' water away?

Call that water?

Toad wouldn't live in it.

Happens to be all we got.

I don't see you drinkin' any of it.

Yeah.

What do you think I drink?

Don't let me catch you throwin' any more water away.

Now, get movin'.

Kind of nasty about that, wasn't he?

Yeah. I don't know.

Quince ain't been actin' right

for a couple days.

He got smart with me the other day

just because I carry a mirror to shave by.

Well, what do you know about that.

Huh?

Well, I mean...

I figured you had a mirror,

but I didn't figure you carried it with you.

You gettin' wise, Pete?

Ah, look. We're all gettin' edgy.

What we need's a town to

blow off a little steam in.

Yeah, and there ain't a town within six days.

See that butte up there?

Looks like a good place to bed down for the night.

Yeah. Goody goody.

Yeah.

Well, let's take a look at it.

How much beef in that drive,

figurin' close?

Oh, say...

2,000 head.

You're a skinner, and you call that

figurin' close?

I knew there was 3,000 the first time I saw 'em.

Oh, don't get at me, Pagan.

And you can have 'em all for $5 a head.

I don't buy meat.

All I want's the hides.

Oh, what are they worth to you?

That herd yours to sell?

It will be.

You're sayin' you can deliver

a herd that ain't yours.

Where's your skinnin' crew?

Day's ride.

You get 'em here. I'll have

that herd by tomorrow.

Them drovers come pretty tough.

Look, I been scoutin' that herd

for over a week.

I know what I'm doin'.

You can have 'em all

for $4 a head.

I ain't throwin' my skinners into no fight.

You'll get 'em clean.

No trouble.

Nod our head, and it's a deal.

There's no call for us

to spend a lot of time

geein' and hawin' over this.

You say $2, and we're in business.

All right.

You tell your skinners

they got 3,000 head of cattle

to butcher.

Whoa.

You boys look plumb beat.

What's it to you?

No offense.

Just I know this country.

Man eats a hunk of that dust

all day, he feels like

he's been chewin' grit all his life.

You know what?

You don't have to tell us that.

Heh. And water ain't much good for it.

Water we got ain't good for washin' feet.

Sounds like you boys could use a little cheer.

Cheer comes in bottles,

and I don't see you carryin' any.

I got some with me.

You got what?

This ain't a bottle.

It'll go a lot further.

Is that what I think it is?

You try it.

Ain't no other smell like that.

Corn whiskey. Ah.

Don't anybody light a match.

It might be a little new,

but it sure cuts through that dust.

Ah. That it does.

Ah.

That's real friendly of you

to bring it in here like this.

Well, there's lots more where I got that.

Where?

On that trail up into the hills there.

Just turn onto it...

keep climbin' till you come to the tradin' post.

It's about six miles.

Well, we ain't got money for that kind of livin'.

Not till payday.

You just ride in

and belly up.

You can get it real cheap.

What's goin' on here?

Let's have it.

What are you after, mister?

Who, me?

He was just bein' neighborly, Mr. Favor.

Why'd you bring that stuff here?

Well, like your drover said,

I was just bein' neighborly.

'Course I wouldn't mind

drummin' up a little trade either.

We could use some business up at the store.

What store is that?

Mm, back up in the hills a ways.

Real nice little place.

Map said something about

a whiskey ford used to be up there.

Maybe that's what he means.

Mm-hm.

Get out.

Look, I didn't intend no harm.

Get out.

Whatever you say.

Men. Whoo.

Look, I know how you feel.

You're tired of eatin' dust,

and the same thing day after day.

We sure are.

And we could use a little break, boss.

Sure.

But this just ain't the right time

or place for it.

Look, how's it gonna

hurt the herd to sit for a day.

That'd give some of us

a chance to ride up to that tradin' post

and wash the dust out of our gullets.

It'd take a lot more than a day's time,

and you know it.

I promise you we'd be back tomorrow night.

You got the liquor talkin' in you already.

Turn a bunch of you loose up there,

I'd spend the better part of a week

tryin' to round you up.

We need a little time off, Mr. Favor.

All right.

You always know how you can get it.

There you go. A man stands up for his rights,

and you tell him to draw his pay and get out.

You know, there's no place

for us to go out in the open country.

You picked this place to argue.

I didn't.

I still say we ought to go up there.

I don't know about the rest of you...

but I'm gonna get me some of

that whiskey before we leave here.

Ride down the trail a way, Miles.

Let know if you see anybody comin'.

You think now?

I think now.

Where's that husband of yours?

In the storeroom.

I wanna talk to him.

But first, I got somethin' to tell you.

I'm gonna be takin' you out of here

pretty quick.

Oh, I... I...

I told you, I don't know about that, Pagan.

I... Of course you know.

You've known right from the first.

I belong with Joel.

You belong with a man

that can show you a good time.

And that's me. Oh.

I'm gonna be able to take you to

a big town and buy you

anything you want.

I... I... I don't know about that.

Sure you know.

I'm makin' up your mind for you.

When I go, you're goin' with me.

We'll talk about it later, Pagan.

It ain't gonna be much later.

You frettin' about tellin' Joel?

He's gotta know sometime.

Come on in, Joel. I wanna talk to you.

Pagan, I've asked you before.

Let Mary Ann alone.

I ain't doin' no harm.

We're all friends, ain't we?

Anyway, Mary Ann don't mind.

Ask her.

I want you to let her alone.

Please, Pagan.

Don't get so upset.

You're like an old woman with the vapors.

What do you want with me?

I might have some friends

ridin' in tonight.

So don't lock up the place

as early as you've been doin'.

You got enough of your friends hangin' around here already.

I want no truck with any more of 'em.

Now that's no way to talk.

I'm not stayin' open.

You better, Joel.

Why, Mary Ann?

Why? Why? Why...? Joel, please!

How can you bear to let a man like that

touch you? Please, Joel...

How can you bear it? Don't.

How can you bear to let him?

Why don't you do something about it?

Why did you let him stay here

in the first place? Him and the others?

Payin' nothin' for... food and liquor.

Leechin' off your stocks...

I couldn't stop it.

You could have tried.

Mary Ann.

How far do you think I'd get

with Pagan or...

Or with any of them?

Then don't blame me, Joel.

Mary Ann, you're my wife.

You've got to try.

I did try.

I held Pagan off until I was exhausted.

And I did it alone.

I know. I know.

Now something's happened to me.

I can't fight him anymore.

Mary Ann.

Keep fighting him.

Hey. You goin' with us?

Goin' with you?

I'm on watch.

Well, so is Lou and Charlie

and Hank Gorrell, but

they're comin'.

They're crazy.

Well, the boss will be mad

and make it tough on us

a couple of days, but...

it'll be worth it.

Not to me.

Joe...

that drink we had today, um...

you know, that's the first in...

six, maybe seven weeks.

I can go on livin' without it a while longer.

I can still taste it in my throat

from this afternoon.

You know, um...

a man can stand doin' without so long, then...

Joe, you gotta bust loose.

I ain't leavin' my watch.

Mm. All right.

Maybe I'll bring you back somethin'.

Try coverin' up for us, will you?

I'll do all I can.

Adios.

Hey, there's riders comin' up the trail.

How many? Looks like nine or ten to me.

Good.

Those friends of mine I was tellin' you about...

they'll be comin' in pretty soon.

Bunch of thirsty cowherds.

So you give 'em all the whiskey they want,

do you hear?

Yeah, I hear.

Bein' as they're drovers,

they might not have much money to pay for it.

But you give 'em the liquor anyhow.

Let 'em have it for nothin'?

That's right.

First, you and your men.

And now a bunch of cowherds.

I won't do it.

Look, are you gonna pick a time like this

to get stubborn?

I won't do it.

And you're gonna get out of here.

You're gonna get out of here

and let Mary Ann alone.

You gonna do like I say?

No! You want me to break it?

Ah! All right.

Let go, let go.

The next time you give me an argument,

I'm gonna twist your head off.

Pagan.

What?

Don't do that again.

Joel?

I can't stand by

and see him hurt.

I didn't hurt him much.

Don't do it again.

I'll do it whenever I feel like it.

You know, the only trouble with you

is you don't know what you want.

When are you gonna stop fussin'

over a man that hasn't even got guts enough

to fight for his woman.

Well, I see some of the men are gone.

That's right.

Well, man with a thirst...

Give 'em a smell of a cork,

and they'll do it every time.

Here's your coffee. Thanks.

Quince with 'em?

You don't see him around, do you?

It was worse than we thought.

How many?

Without countin' us here,

we got three men left.

It's not much of a crew,

for handlin' 3,000 head of cattle.

I'm goin' out to bring 'em back.

You come with me.

Keep the herd here.

Thank you, Mush.

Jay, you and Kemp ride out,

and relieve Scarlet and one of the other fellas.

Mushy...

you take that extra horse back there,

and ride out and do what you can.

Uh, yes sir, Mr. Nolan.

Sure gonna be hard

tryin' to plan the next few meals...

not knowin' how many to plan for.

Yeah.

I'd plan on a full meal

for tomorrow morning.

I expect you're right.

You the boss?

W-what do you want?

Oh, just passing through.

Thought we'd pass the time of day with you.

Ain't a very good time for visitin.'

We're runnin' short-handed here.

We got our own troubles.

Why, you dirty coyotes.

Now, you stay away from him,

or I'll drop...

Now round up the rest of 'em.

One of them's the trail boss of that cattle outfit.

Like to talk to you.

Yes, of course.

My name's Favor. I got a herd of cattle

movin' through the valley down below.

I believe some of my drovers

dropped in here last night.

Oh, uh...

yeah, sure.

Sure, what?

Well, they came in,

they... had a few drinks,

and they left.

Left?

Where did they go?

Uh, I...

I didn't ask 'em.

What are you so jumpy about, mister?

Uh...

jumpy?

Yeah.

You sell 'em any liquor?

Yeah, I...

I sold 'em some.

They didn't draw any money

out of camp when they left.

How'd they pay for it?

Well, they...

They didn't pay for much.

Uh, they were pretty noisy, though, so

I let 'em have what they wanted.

How much was that?

Well, uh, they were pretty thirsty.

You don't know where they went?

No, I... I didn't ask 'em.

Mind if we look around?

No. No, go right ahead.

All right.

That's our living quarters.

My wife's in there.

Sorry.

Didn't mean to disturb you.

No reason why you shouldn't come in.

No thanks.

Look...

Don't go out there.

Get out there and tell that trail boss

you'll take him to his drovers.

No. Oh!

You hear me?

Take 'em down the north trail...

all the way to the butte.

The north trail?

Do it before they come

bustin' in here.

Get out there.

Hey!

Your drovers, I'll

take you to them.

You know where they are?

Hey, do you, uh...

know the reason we were fired on back there?

No.

Don't you think it was kind of strange?

Very strange.

Man came to my herd yesterday

ridin' a buckboard.

Big man. Real sure of himself.

Pagan.

He work for your husband?

Nope.

No?

He gave my men whiskey.

Said he was drummin' up business

for the store.

You know why he'd do a thing like that?

No.

Come on, now. You sure your husband

had nothing to do with this?

None at all.

From the way your husband talked,

he sounded like he just might be

afraid of something.

My husband doesn't have

what a man needs in this country.

He isn't... much good

for the life out here.

You raised in this country?

Yep.

Uh, how about my drovers?

What kind of a shape were they in

when they left your husband's place?

They had a lot to drink.

Some of 'em had a hard time

gettin' on their horses.

Oh, great.

They're gonna really feel like

pushin' cattle.

There's our camp.

Where's the herd?

It's gone.

Oh, it can't be gone.

Could see for ten miles around here.

No one could drive a herd that far

in this short a time.

Where's the herd?

I don't know, boss. It...

It don't make no sense to me.

Oh, where's Pete?

He's hurt.

In the wagon.

Pete?

What?

What happened?

Oh.

Yeah, Wishbone got hurt pretty bad.

Don't wanna come to.

How'd it happen?

I don't know.

There was, uh...

some riders come in after you left.

Think we got gun-whipped.

Wish bandaged me up, but...

Pulled Wishbone over here out of the sun.

Who were they?

I don't know. I never did see 'em before.

Quince...

take a couple men and get Wishbone in the wagon.

How is he?

Oh, he'll mend.

They's gotta be around here somewhere.

Three thousand head of cattle

just don't disappear into thin air.

Mm...

Those cattle gotta be out here somewhere.

Think they could have moved 'em into the hills?

Funnel that many cattle

into a couple of narrow draws?

We'd have heard 'em from here.

I wanna talk to that Mrs. Belden.

Where's Mrs. Belden?

You mean, the woman

you rode in with?

Just rode out.

Mm.

Well, how do you feel now?

Was it worth it?

Never is, boss.

Anybody will tell you that.

How's Wishbone?

He moaned a little bit.

That's all.

Wishbone?

Um...

How you feel?

Well, if I could just park my head someplace

for a while.

You do that.

We'll have somebody else cook supper tonight.

They... took somethin' besides

the herd and the remuda.

What's that?

Our rifles and ammunition.

Oh, no.

Out here, that's like being

with no clothes on.

You feel any wind blowin' since this morning?

No.

Neither did I.

It...

couldn't have blown the herd's, uh, tracks away then.

What do you make of that, boss?

Only place I know to make

anything of it is that tradin' post.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm goin' with you.

Figure some cold air against this head

might make me feel better.

Besides, there ain't nothin'

I can do around here.

Think we're expected?

Pete, you want to stay out here

and keep an eye open.

No.

Do you wanna come in with us, then?

No.

Do you wanna tell us

exactly what you do wanna do?

No.

I mean, yeah.

Yeah, what?

Well, I don't want you goin' in there alone,

without me.

Somebody's gotta make the move,

and I don't want you to make the move unless I'm there.

What I mean is, who's gonna stay

out here and keep their eye open.

You are.

Yeah, that's what I said.

He must have been hit harder

than you said he was.

Yeah.

Maybe we ought to hit him and straighten him out.

Nobody here.

That's a loose shutter.

Well, we goin' back?

Hey, wait a minute.

Somethin' I didn't think about before.

What's that?

Those trails.

This mornin' we came in on that one,

but... she took us back to the butte

on that one.

Well, yeah, it was quicker.

Hey, wait a minute.

Two trails leadin' to the same place,

and it was quicker one way.

Yeah.

Well, that whack on the head

sure slowed me down.

I just remembered something.

This is the country of the Arana Sacar.

Well... Well, that sounds like

Comanche lingo to me.

It is Comanche.

It means "Twin Buttes."

Two of 'em exactly alike,

only about ten miles apart.

Pete...

the next big town we hit...

I'm gonna buy you the best supper...

and the biggest jug they got.

Look.

No wonder we couldn't

find their tracks.

They didn't move the herd.

Yeah. Just the wagons.

They gun-whipped Wishbone and me

so's we wouldn't know we were being moved.

All right, that's enough.

Now, listen to me, all of you.

We're skinners, not gunmen.

We gotta turn these beeves

into hides.

Finish our job, take the hides

and get out of here.

Anything else goin' on around here

is none of our business.

We tend to our own business,

keep our noses clean and get out.

You understand?

All right. Now, take your spots

and get ready.

Hey, look what they're doing.

Bunch of skinners.

Look at the hide wagons.

You mean, they're figurin' on

butcherin' our herd just for the hides.

There's Scarlet, Mushy

and the rest of our drovers.

Now you got a choice.

You help us with these cattle,

or you get dents in your skull.

You two just gonna sit there?

Yes, sir.

If you ain't got any objections,

I'd just as soon sit right here.

You're out of your head, mister.

You think I'm gonna push

them steers in there to see 'em slaughtered

for their hides, you're out of your head.

Wait a minute.

They're runnin' them into the chutes.

Get 'em out of here. Spread out.

Pete...

you get back to Quince and the rest of our men.

Bring 'em back here.

What are you gonna do?

I'm goin' down into that camp.

You goin' down there, you won't have a chance.

Oh, I got a chance.

All I got to be is one of the drovers.

I'm goin' with you.

Get another one here. Come on.

Bring it.

Mary Ann?

Joel.

Well... I saw you when you first

got here. I...

I wanted to talk to you, but...

Pagan kept me away.

What are you doin' here?

Well, Pagan wouldn't let me stay

back at the store. He...

He said I might talk to the drovers

if they went back there.

Did you know he was doin' this

kind of thing?

That he was stealing?

No.

Well... Don't it make no difference to you?

I don't wanna talk about it.

No, I...

I guess not.

Uh, I'm not gonna stay around here,

no matter what Pagan says.

I'm gonna make a break for it.

Be careful, Joel.

You wouldn't want to...

come with me?

Uh, I mean, now that... Now that you know

what Pagan's doing?

No.

Please, Mary Ann.

I can't, Joel.

You're gonna go with him after all,

when you know he's no good?

A woman just can't help these things sometimes.

I just don't understand it.

You've always been kind to me, Joel.

I'll never forget that.

I'm sorry I...

didn't come up to what you wanted.

I'm sorry too.

I only wish...

Just can't help myself.

Tryin' to steal a horse, Belden?

Well, it's not stealin'.

I... I'm leaving my buckboard and my team.

Thought I told you to stay around.

I've taken a lot from you, Pagan.

But I'm not stayin' here while you run off

with my wife.

Tie up that horse.

I'm leavin', and you're not gonna stop me.

When I say stay around,

I mean stay around.

Boss. Sh.

Mr. Favor, what are you doin' here?

Rowdy's over talkin' to the other men.

We're gonna stampede the herd.

Stampede 'em?

We'll lose 'em, boss.

We've already lost 'em.

This is the only way we've even got a chance

of gettin' 'em back.

How are we gonna start 'em goin'?

Oh, we'll do it somehow.

They're pretty quiet.

Take more than shots to do it.

I thought you didn't know

anything about this.

I didn't.

Then what are you doin' out here?

That's my concern.

Are you gonna let me go?

Be easy enough for you to give us away.

Tsk. Yes.

Easy enough.

Tsk.

We may be gettin' some bullets

in our back pretty quick.

Rowdy, let me have that mirror.

Huh? That mirror of yours.

Let me have it.

Joel.

Didn't do no good to fight him, Mary Ann.

Didn't do no good at all.

Sun's gettin' kind of low.

Mushy, get out of the light.

What's the matter with 'em?

Any other time, they'd go on the first flash.

Well, we went after

one of them drovers back there,

but he got away from us.

Headed back toward the other butte.

Found a couple other horses,

so there must be some of 'em around here someplace.

Let's find 'em. Come on.

Look...

Yah! Cattle, cattle, cattle!

Stampede!

Let's get out of here.

Stampede!

Let's get out of here!

No, Pagan.

What are you doin' here?!

I told you not to hurt Joel.

Get that gun off me.

I told you not to hurt him.

Now you can turn me over to the law.

I'm no lawman.

Besides, you killed in self-defense.

Maybe you'd...

better look after your husband now.

Maybe I'd better.

Pete.

We need some fresh water.

Might as well get it from that tradin' post.

Take Scarlet and Mushy,

and go get some.

Scarlet, Mushy,

let's hitch up and get goin'.

Sure glad you ain't sendin' me, boss.

Way I feel, I ain't...

good for nothin' but...

just layin' down.

Well, now...

I've got a another job

all lined up for you, Quince.

You and the others who went up there.

You mean, tonight?

Oh, it'll take the whole night.

I'm sure of that.

We got a herd scattered all over this prairie.

You and your friends are gonna

gather 'em up,

so we can move out of here

in the morning.

Bright and early.

Pick fresh horses, saddle up.

Head 'em up!

Move 'em out!
