THEY'RE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, AND I WANT THEM FOUND.

WHAT AM I PAYING YOU FOR

IF YOU CAN'T FIND A MAN, WOMAN, AND BOY OUT THERE ON FOOT?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO--

GO OUT THERE LIKE I USED TO IN THE OLD DAYS AND FIND THEM MYSELF?

WE'VE GOT ALL THE MEN ON THE ROAD.

Corbino: NOW, WHAT GOOD'S THAT GOING TO DO?

YOU COULD HAVE 1,000 MEN ON THE ROAD.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING,

TRAVELING IN STYLE, TRAVELING BY STAGECOACH?

GET OFF THE ROAD. I WANT A 360-DEGREE SEARCH.

NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST--EVERY DIRECTION.

THEY'RE HEADING FOR DANNY CAINE'S HIDEOUT.

I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET THERE.

YOU GET THAT BOY FOR ME.

I'LL FIND OUT WHERE DANNY CAINE IS FROM HIM.

WHAT ABOUT THE CHINAMAN?

YEAH.

THAT'S THE DANGER.

THEY'RE GONE. WE'RE SAFE.

ONLY FOR THE MOMENT.

WE MUST LEAVE THIS TRAIL AND GO DEEPER

INTO THE WILDERNESS.

Woman: UP THERE?

Boy: WE'LL HELP YOU.

Corbino: YOU FIND HIM, YOU COME TO ME.

I MAKE MY MOVE THEN. I GOT $10,000,

$10,000 FOR THAT BOY IN FRONT OF ME...

AND THAT CHINAMAN DEAD.

Master Kan: YOUR TREAD MUST BE LIGHT AND SURE,

AS THOUGH YOUR PATH WERE UPON RICE PAPER.

IT IS SAID A SHAOLIN PRIEST CAN WALK THROUGH WALLS.

LOOKED FOR...

HE CAN NOT BE SEEN.

LISTENED FOR...

HE CAN NOT BE HEARD.

TOUCHED...

HE CAN NOT BE FELT.

THIS RICE PAPER IS THE TEST...

FRAGILE AS THE WINGS

OF THE DRAGONFLY...

CLINGING AS THE COCOON OF THE SILKWORM.

WHEN YOU CAN WALK ITS LENGTH

AND LEAVE NO TRACE,

YOU WILL HAVE LEARNED.

Caine:IS THIS TOO HARD FOR YOU?

Woman: NO! I'LL MANAGE.

Boy: GOOD FOR YOU... MOTHER.

Woman: OH! OH, THAT'S A WORD I'VE WANTED TO HEAR FOR A LONG TIME!

Boy: WE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU, MOTHER.

OH!

HOW FAR IS IT TO THE TOWN, TO ORION?

IT IS, UH...

SEVERAL DAYS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

ON THE ROAD...

IT WOULD BE MUCH QUICKER.

BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP OFF THE ROADS.

YES.

AND AWAY FROM CARRIAGES AND HORSES

AND BEDS TO SLEEP IN AND FOOD.

THE LAND WILL GIVE US FOOD.

Woman: I'VE ONLY SEEN MILES AND MILES...

OF BRUSH AND ROCKS AND WEEDS.

Caine: WE MUST SEE THROUGH MY EYES.

HERE...

ARE BERRIES.

YOU SHOULD PICK SOME.

WE CAN TAKE THEM WITH US.

Woman: I WILL!

YOU'RE VERY MUCH LIKE DANNY...

THE GOOD PART OF HIM.

TELL ME ABOUT HIM.

OH...

ASK ZEKE. HE'S THE AUTHORITY ON DANNY CAINE.

AFTER ALL, I ONLY HAD DANNY FOR A HALF A YEAR.

ZEKE'S HAD HIM FOR A LIFETIME.

TELL ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, REALLY.

WHEN I'M WITH MY FATHER,

EVERYTHING'S REALLY EXCITING, AND...

WHEN I'M NOT, THINGS ARE BAD.

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO STAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE, LIKE MR. CORBINO,

AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT.

THAT'S DANNY.

ALWAYS ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN OR...

FLAT ON HIS BACK.

NEVER ANY IN-BETWEEN.

WELL, WHO WANTS TO BE IN-BETWEEN?

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, YOU HAVE TO TAKE CHANCES.

SOMETIMES YOU LOSE, AND YOU HAVE TO FIGHT YOUR WAY BACK UP.

HE WAS THE MOST EXCITING, MOST...HANDSOME,

MOST...FORBIDDING MAN THAT ANY YOUNG GIRL EVER SAW,

BUT HE HAD MORE DOWNS THAN UPS.

AND HOW DID YOU LIKE THE SAFE IN-BETWEEN?

I NEVER FOUND IT.

YOU SEE?

ZEKE...

DON'T BE ANGRY WITH ME.

I'M SORRY.

WELL...

I GUESS WE DIDN'T TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT DANNY.

BUT YOU HAVE.

WHEN WE FIND MY FATHER,

ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE WITH US

AND BE MY MOTHER?

I HOPE SO, ZEKE.

KWAI CHANG... I MUST...REST.

IS SHE ALRIGHT?

Caine: SHE'S FAINTED FROM THE HEAT.

AND WE'RE ALL THIRSTY.

I'LL CLIMB UP THAT HILL AND SEE IF I CAN SEE A STREAM OR WATER HOLE.

OH...

I FEEL LIKE A MILLSTONE AROUND YOUR NECK.

YOU NEED FOOD AND WATER...

AND A PLACE TO REST.

AND YOU'LL FIND THEM...

AND YOU'LL GET US TO ORION, TOO.

Zeke: HEY, THERE'S AN OLD WAY STATION OVER THERE!

MAYBE WE CAN GET SOME HELP!

Caine: HELP ME.

Woman: I'M ALRIGHT. I CAN WALK.

I DON'T...I DON'T WANT TO BE A BURDEN TO YOU.

Caine: YOU ARE NO BURDEN.

Zeke: ANYBODY HOME?

Man: WHO ARE YOU?

Zeke: WE NEED HELP.

OH! OH, MY GOODNESS!

COME IN.

COME IN.

I'M...AFRAID THIS PLACE AIN'T QUITE WHAT SHE USED TO BE.

Zeke: CAN WE HAVE SOME WATER?

OH, YEAH. RIGHT THERE IN THE BUCKET, BOY.

THANK YOU.

OH, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BLOW YOUR FOLKS' HEADS OFF.

IT'S JUST I DIDN'T HEAR NO HORSES COMING.

THAT'S HOW I KNOW I'M GONNA HAVE COMPANY HERE.

I GOT MY EARS TUNED TO HEAR HORSES 2 MILES AWAY.

WELL, UH, WE CAME ON FOOT.

OVER THEM MOUNTAINS?

YEP. RIGHT OVER THE TOP.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE ROAD?

WELL, WE...

OH. NEVER MIND WHY.

I'LL JUST MIND MY OWN BUSINESS.

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH TRAVELERS IN MY DAY

COME AND GO OUT OF HERE

TO KNOW ENOUGH TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS.

WE NEED FOOD.

WE HAVE MONEY.

WELL...NOW, THERE WE GOT A PROBLEM.

YOU SEE, ONE REASON I COME TEARING OUT OF HERE

WITH THAT GUN READY

IS I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INJUNS.

NOBODY ELSE COMES UP HERE REAL QUIET-LIKE ON FOOT BUT INJUNS.

THERE HAVE BEEN HUNTING PARTIES AROUND ALL WEEK,

AND I'VE BEEN SCARED TO GO OUT AND SHOOT MYSELF ANY MEAT,

AND THE STAGE ONLY COMES THROUGH HERE EVERY MONTH.

YOU HAVE NO FOOD?

PRECIOUS LITTLE.

I'LL WORK FOR IT. YOU SHOULD SEE ME CUT WOOD.

YOU COULD CUT ME 10 WINTERS' WOOD,

AND I COULDN'T MAKE NO FOOD UP HERE OUT OF NOWHERE.

HOW DO YOU MANAGE FOR YOURSELF?

OH, ME? I WOULDN'T KNOW NO OTHER LIFE.

I RUN THIS STATION FOR 25 YEARS.

OF COURSE, AT FIRST, IT WAS A PRIME STATION, LET ME TELL YOU--

THE STAGECOACHES RUNNING EVERY DAY, MINE WAGONS, PEDDLERS.

THIS PLACE WAS FULL OF NEW PEOPLE EVERY DAY!

WE SERVED FOOD, RAN A BAR...

KEPT 5 PAIRS OF HORSES READY IN THE PEN OUT THERE.

THEN...

THE MINES PLAYED OUT.

THE TOWNS UP THERE ARE DEAD.

STILL IT AIN'T ALL BAD.

AND HOW OFTEN DO I GET TO HELP OUT PEOPLE ANYMORE?

THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS LIKED TO DO...

HELP OUT FOLKS ON THE ROAD.

I WAS KNOWN FOR THAT. I WAS.

THANK YOU.

YOU JUST HOLD ON.

COME ON. HERE YOU ARE.

IT'S ALL I GOT, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO IT.

Zeke: THANK YOU.

HERE'S FOR YOUR WATER. YOU CAN FILL IT UP OUTSIDE.

THANK YOU.

I AM GOING TO FIX YOU A HOT MEAL BEFORE YOU GO.

NOW, THAT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO.

THIS IS MIGHTY GOOD, SIR. I NEVER HAD SQUIRREL STEW BEFORE.

IT'S THE LAST MEAT I GOT.

IN PAYMENT.

OH.

THIS IS...

MUCH, MUCH TOO FINE FOR WHAT I GAVE YOU.

NO. YOU'VE BEEN VERY KIND TO US.

PLEASE LET ME PAY YOU.

YOU CAN USE THE MONEY FROM THE NECKLACE

TO FIX UP YOUR PLACE HERE.

YOU'RE REAL HIGH-CLASS.

BUT I DON'T NEED THIS TO REMEMBER

THE PRETTIEST LADY THAT EVER SAT AT MY TABLE.

Man: SURE NICE HAVING YOU FOLKS.

DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'LL EVER BE COMING BACK THIS WAY, THOUGH.

WHO CAN SAY?

WELL, GOOD-BYE, MR. STANFORD.

THANK YOU.

Zeke: BYE. THANKS A LOT, MR. STANFORD.

UGH!

YOU TAKE CARE OF THE HORSES.

Stanford: HOWDY! GLAD TO SEE YOU.

YOU GOT ANY WHISKEY, OLD MAN?

I WORK FOR, UH...

MR. VINCENT CORBINO.

AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOME PEOPLE.

3 OF THEM.

IT'S, UH, 2 MALES AND A FEMALE.

THE WOMAN, SHE'S ABOUT 30 YEARS OLD AND BLONDE.

GOOD-LOOKING-- BUT A LADY.

AND ONE MALE...

HE'S A BOY, A YOUNGSTER ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD.

AND THE THIRD ONE, HE'S EASY.

HE'S A CHINAMAN. YOU SEEN THEM?

NOT ME. NO, SIR. I DON'T HARDLY SEE NOBODY ANYMORE.

WELL, I JUST GOT ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU, MISTER, UH...

STANFORD.

STANFORD.

$10,000.

$10,000 FOR THE 3 OF THEM.

NOW, IF YOU KNOW MR. VINCE CORBINO,

YOU KNOW THAT'S JUST LIKE MONEY IN THE BANK.

ARE...

ARE YOU GOING TO KILL THEM?

WELL, WHAT'S THAT TO YOU, MR. STANFORD?

WELL, IT'S...

IT'S JUST THAT... BLOOD MONEY--

WELL, NOW, WITH $10,000, A PERSON COULD BUY HISSELF

AN ENTIRE NEW LIFE, WIPE OUT ANYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED

FOR $10,000.

WELL...I GOT TO BE RIDING ON.

WHO KNOWS? THE NEXT FARMHOUSE I STOP AT

OR MAYBE THE NEXT STAGECOACH STOP,

THERE WILL BE SOMEBODY THERE THAT'S SEEN THEM PEOPLE,

AND THEY'LL GO TO BED TONIGHT, UH...

A RICH MAN.

UH...

ARE...

ARE YOU GONNA... ARE YOU GONNA KILL THEM?

WELL, OF COURSE WE AIN'T GONNA KILL THEM.

THEN I SAW THEM.

THEY WAS HERE YESTERDAY.

I KNOW THE WAY THEY WENT.

FINE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU DO.

YOU GET THIS PLACE CLEANED UP FOR AN IMPORTANT VISITOR,

AND I'LL BE BACK HERE TOMORROW WITH MR. CORBINO...

AND YOUR MONEY.

HERE ARE TWO, AND I'LL RAISE YOU ONE MORE.

OK, 2.

1, 2 MORE.

ALRIGHT. I'LL CALL YOU.

ACES OVER 10.

3 LADIES.

HA, LADIES ALWAYS WERE MY STYLE, McCORD.

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LEARN YOU CAN NEVER WIN FROM ME?

WHEN I STOP BEING ENTERTAINED BY LOSING TO YOU.

BOSS! GUESS WHAT I DONE!

YOU FIND THEM?

THAT'S RIGHT. I KNOW WHERE THEY PASSED THROUGH.

YOU DIDN'T MOVE ON THEM?

NO, MR. CORBINO. I FOLLOWED YOUR ORDERS.

ALRIGHT, GET MENDOZA. WE'LL LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.

RIGHT.

WELL, THIS IS IT.

I TELL YOU, McCORD, THIS IS THE BEST GAME OF ALL.

PERHAPS I'D LIKE TO PLAY.

NO, NO. THAT'S OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.

YOU BETTER STICK TO WOMEN AND FIGHTERS.

WHAT ARE THE STAKES?

DANNY CAINE'S SON BACK HERE WITH ME

AND THAT CHINAMAN DEAD.

THE SHANGHAI KID, THE ONE I SAW FIGHT HERE?

YEAH, THAT'S HIM.

I'VE SEEN THAT BOY IN ACTION.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING SOMETHING, McCORD?

I'M SUGGESTING I PUT MY MONEY ON SHANGHAI.

HOW MUCH?

5,000.

5,000, YOU LOSE.

5,000, YOU DON'T LAY A HAND ON DANNY CAINE'S SON

AND THE CHINAMAN WINS.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO TAKE YOUR MONEY.

MAYBE THE CHINAMAN WILL CHANGE MY LUCK.

AHH!

THANKS.

HEY, KWAI CHANG.

WHEN YOU BEAT THE McCAFFEY BROTHERS AT BARBARY HOUSE,

WAS IT LIKE THIS?

I LEARN FAST. TEACH ME ANOTHER ONE.

WE COULD FIGHT ALONGSIDE EACH OTHER IF WE HAD TO.

I HOPE...

WE NEVER HAVE TO.

WE MUST SEE TO YOUR MOTHER.

I'LL TRY TO FIND SOME MORE BERRIES.

NO.

NO, THAT'S THE LAST OF IT.

SAVE IT FOR ZEKE.

HE'S A STRANGER TO ME.

I CAN'T TOUCH HIM.

HE'S SO BOUND UP WITH HIS FATHER.

BUT NOW THAT I'VE FOUND HIM,

I'LL NEVER GIVE HIM UP AGAIN.

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO?

WOULD DANNY WANT ME BACK?

I GAVE HIM UP BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY FATHER HAD PAID HIM OFF.

AND THEN I GAVE UP ZEKE...

TO SAVE MY REPUTATION.

YOU DID NOT KNOW DANNY TOOK THE BOY WITH HIM?

NO.

ALL THESE YEARS...

I THOUGHT HE'D DESERTED US.

AND NOW I SEE...

HE HAD...FAR GREATER LOVE FOR ZEKE THAN I EVER HAD.

HOW CAN I UNDO ALL THAT?

YOU...

WERE VERY YOUNG.

KWAI CHANG...

GET US TO THAT TOWN, QUICKLY.

GET US TO ORION.

YOU...

CAN GO NO FURTHER.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I WILL BE BACK...

BY...NIGHTFALL.

YOU REST.

REST HERE.

ZEKE!

Zeke: OVER HERE.

THERE'S NO BERRIES.

ZEKE...

SUPPOSE...

SUPPOSE WE DON'T FIND YOUR FATHER.

WOULD YOU COME AND LIVE WITH ME?

WE'LL FIND HIM.

WELL, WE'LL TRY...

BUT YOU KNOW YOUR FATHER.

BY THE TIME WE GET TO ORION, HE MAY BE GONE.

HE WOULDN'T GO WITHOUT ME.

HE HAS...

MANY TIMES.

YOUR LIFE WOULD BE MUCH BETTER WITH ME.

YOU...YOU'D HAVE A HOME. YOU COULD GO TO SCHOOL.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.

I JUST WANT TO BE WITH MY FATHER.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?

LOOK, WHY DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE?

ZEKE, PLEASE DON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME.

YOU DON'T WANT ME.

YOU DON'T NEED ME.

IT'S NOT THAT, REALLY.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT WITH YOU.

MAYBE THERE'S SOME OF THOSE ROOTS AROUND HERE.

ZEKE.

ZEKE.

KWAI CHANG!

KWAI CHANG!

WHERE ARE YOU?

HE'S GONE.

WHERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I'LL FIND HIM.

WAIT! NO!

NO!

STAY HERE WITH ME!

WHAT CAN I DO?

TELL ME!

NOTHING.

MOTHER!

IT'S NOTHING.

ZEKE.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

MOTHER!

I LOVE YOU!

SHE'S DYING!

SHE'S DYING!

RATTLESNAKE.

YOUR SON...

WILL BE AS MY SON.

NO!

NO!

SHE ONLY WANTED ME TO LOVE HER!

SHE LET THAT SNAKE GET HER TO SAVE ME.

I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE DEAD.

SHE WAS MY MOTHER, AND SHE'S DEAD!

A BREATH OF LIFE MOVES THROUGH A DEATHLESS VALLEY.

A MYSTERIOUS MOTHERHOOD

WHICH CONCEIVES AND BEARS THE UNIVERSAL SEED...

SEEMING OF A WORLD NEVER TO END.

BREATH FOR MEN TO DRAW FROM AS THEY WILL.

AND THE MORE THEY TAKE OF IT...

THE MORE REMAINS.

IS THAT FROM THE BIBLE?

IT IS THE WAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE WAY OF LIFE.

THE TEACHINGS WHICH I FOLLOW.

I WAITED ALL MY LIFE FOR HER.

I ONLY HAD HER FOR A FEW DAYS.

YOU WILL HAVE HER ALWAYS...

IN YOUR HEART.

YOU SHOULD WEAR THIS.

I CAME TO YOUR CAMP...

AND FOUND NO ONE.

NOW WE HAVE FOUND YOU.

YOU CAME HERE.

YOU STOLE OUR FOOD, LIKE THE COYOTE.

Caine: I DID NOT COME TO STEAL.

I LEFT SOMETHING FOR WHAT I TOOK FROM YOU.

WE CANNOT EAT THIS.

WHEN YOU CAME, WHY DID YOU NOT WAIT UNTIL WE RETURNED?

EVEN IN THE TIME OF DROUGHT, WE SHARE WHAT WE HAVE.

I COULD NOT WAIT. THERE WAS NO TIME.

OUR LAWS ARE SIMPLE.

HE WHO TAKES FROM US IS A THIEF.

THE THIEF MUST DIE.

IS THERE NO WAY IN YOUR LAWS

THAT I MAY SEEK JUSTICE FOR MYSELF?

THERE IS THE ORDEAL.

YOU MUST LEAVE HERE NOW.

NO. I WON'T GO WITHOUT YOU.

LISTEN TO ME. SOON THEY WILL COME

TO TAKE ME TO WHATEVER IT IS I MUST DO.

YOU CANNOT HELP ME BY STAYING.

YOU MUST SAVE YOURSELF.

BUT THEY'LL KILL YOU!

THAT IS AS IT WILL BE.

YOU MUST GO TO ORION

AND FIND YOUR FATHER.

I'LL NEVER FIND HIM WITHOUT YOU.

YOU MUST TRY.

NOW, GO.

KWAI CHANG!

WHEREVER YOU ARE...

I WILL BE WITH YOU.

WHEREVER I AM...

YOU WILL BE WITH ME.

NOW, HURRY, ZEKE.

UHH!

UHH!

AAH!

UHH!

UHH!

UHH!

HA HA HA!

AH, IT'S SUCH A PLEASURE TAKING YOUR MONEY, McCORD.

JUST A MOMENT.

I'VE SEEN THE BOY, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN THE CHINAMAN.

WELL, YOU HEARD WHAT THE KID SAID.

HE GOT CAUGHT BY AN INDIAN HUNTING PARTY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, HIS DEAD BODY?

A BET IS A BET. WE AGREED, THE BOY IN YOUR HANDS

AND THE CHINAMAN DEAD.

ALRIGHT, MENDOZA, SADDLE UP 2 HORSES.

TAKE McCORD. FIND THAT INDIAN HUNTING PARTY.

TELL THEM WE WANT THE, UH--THE BODY OF THAT CHINAMAN BACK.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE, LEAVE McCORD. HE'LL STRAIGHTEN THEM OUT.

NO. THAT'S ALRIGHT.

BOSS?

THANK YOU. I HOPE THAT'S THE RIGHT SIZE.

TAILOR GUARANTEES IT.

I'LL TELL THE KID THAT YOU PAID FOR HIS SUIT, McCORD.

HA HA HA HA!

HEY, HOW IS MY BOY? EVERYBODY TREATING YOU RIGHT?

I'M NOT YOUR BOY.

WELL, WHAT'S THAT? I THOUGHT WE HAD THAT ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT.

WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST LEFT ME ALONE?

YEAH, WHERE WOULD YOU BE RIGHT NOW?

OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, COLD AND STARVING.

RIGHT? HEY, MENDOZA. REMEMBER HOW HE LOOKED WHEN WE BROUGHT HIM IN?

WELL, CLEANED UP, HE LOOKS ABOUT 10 POUNDS LIGHTER.

NEVER MIND. WE GOT A MEAL WAITING FOR YOU OUTSIDE

THAT WILL PUT IT ALL BACK ON FOR YOU.

BET YOU'RE HUNGRY, HUH?

YEAH, I'M HUNGRY.

ALRIGHT, WELL, GET OUT OF THERE AND SLIP INTO THESE.

YOU'RE NOT MAD AT ME?

NOW, WHAT WOULD I BE ANGRY ABOUT?

YOU WENT OUT, TRIED IT ON YOUR OWN.

AND THAT'S GOOD. YOU'RE NO FLUNKY.

YOU GOT SPIRIT, KID. I LIKE THAT.

OH, COME ON, NOW. HURRY UP.

OH!

THE HORSE!

I FORGOT ABOUT THE HORSE.

WHAT HORSE?

WELL, HE'S A BEAUTIFUL HORSE.

HE'S GONNA BE MY GIFT TO YOU.

HE'S BACK AT BARBARY HOUSE RIGHT NOW.

WHAT KIND OF HORSE IS IT?

LISTEN TO THAT. YOU CAN'T WAIT NOW, HUH?

HE'S A BEAUTIFUL HORSE.

HIS SIRE WON THE ENGLISH DERBY 2 YEARS AGO,

AND HIS MOTHER... A BEAUTIFUL APPALOOSA.

WILD HORSE, I CAUGHT HER MYSELF.

YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU CAUGHT WILD HORSES.

WELL, WE'LL GO CATCH THEM TOGETHER FROM NOW ON,

BUT I WANNA TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR HORSE. YOU INTERESTED?

YEAH, I'M INTERESTED. I'M INTERESTED. WHAT COLOR IS HE?

HE'S BLACK. BLACK, AND HE'S GOT

THOSE APPALOOSA SPOTS OF HIS MOTHER

SPRINKLED ACROSS,UH-- ACROSS HIS FLANKS.

JUST SPRINKLED LIKE...LIKE STARS IN THE SKY.

GEE, THANKS A LOT, MR. CORBINO.

OH, COME ON. YOU DON'T--

YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME.

YOU GOT IT COMING, KID.

THIS IS THE CLAW OF THE GREAT OWL.

IT WILL HELP YOU FIND WHAT YOU SEEK.

I AM HONORED.

THANK YOU, MY BROTHER.

YOU KNOW THE YOUNG ONE HAS FLED.

YES.

BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW HE HAS MET

WITH 3 MEN WHO RODE WITH HIM TO THE WAY STATION.

THE OLD MAN WHO RAN THE STATION BETRAYED YOU.

HE HAS TAKEN THEIR MONEY AND GONE.

YOU KNOW, UH... NEVER HAD A SON.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT MAYBE YOU HAD A SON WHO WAS GROWN-UP.

NO.

SOMETIMES I WALK DOWN THE STREET, AND I LOOK AT MYSELF,

AND I SAY, "VINCENT CORBINO, YOU GOT EVERYTHING.

"YOU GOT MONEY, RESPECT, POWER.

"YOU GOT WOMEN WHO LOVE YOU.

YOU GOT RICH MEN, IMPORTANT MEN, RIGHT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND."

AND THEN I SAY TO MYSELF, "CORBINO,

YOU'VE GOT NOTHING BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A SON."

I'M SORRY.

AH, HEY, COME ON.

NO NEED TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME.

BECAUSE MAYBE NOW I'VE GOT EVERYTHING AFTER ALL.

BECAUSE MAYBE NOW I GOT A KID OF MY OWN.

HEY! YOU'RE NOT SUCH A BIG HIGH ROLLER YET

THAT I CAN'T PUT MY HANDS ON YOUR SHOULDERS, ARE YOU?

HUH?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

OH, COME ON.

DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

JUST TAKE YOUR TIME, GET USED TO THE IDEA.

WE'RE GOING TO BE BIG TOGETHER, KID.

WE NEED EACH OTHER.

EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED FOR IS GONNA BE YOURS ONE OF THESE DAYS,

AND YOU'RE GONNA WALK DOWN THE STREET,

AND PEOPLE WILL POINT AT YOU AND SAY,

"THERE GOES VINCENT CORBINO'S BOY. THAT'S SOMEBODY."

WHAT ABOUT MY FATHER?

YOU DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO GIVE HIM UP, DO YOU?

BUT YOU SAID THAT--

I KNOW, I KNOW. I SAID A LOT OF THINGS.

I KNOW THAT. CORBINO'S GOT A TEMPER.

YOU KNOW YOUR FATHER AND ME.

BUT WE'RE PARTNERS. WE'RE STILL PARTNERS.

SURE, I GOT MAD AT HIM.

YEAH, AND I'M STILL A BIT EDGY, TOO,

BUT WHEN I SEE HIM, I'M GOING TO TELL HIM THAT.

WELL, HE THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO--

GOING TO WHAT?

TO KILL HIM.

KILL HIM?

KILL HIM?

HA HA HA.

HA HA HA!

COME HERE. KILL HIM?

COME HERE! HA HA HA!

LOOK, CORBINO HAS GOT A TEMPER,

BUT IF I KILLED EVERYBODY I GOT MAD AT,

THAT GRAVEYARD WOULD BE 3 DEEP.

NO! KILL HIM? COME ON.

NO, WHATEVER'S BETWEEN DANNY AND ME,

IT'S NOTHING THAT CAN'T BE STRAIGHTENED OUT WITH A GOOD, LONG TALK.

SURE, I'M GONNA SAY THINGS TO HIM HE'S NOT GONNA LIKE.

HE'S SURE NOT GOING TO DIE FROM THEM.

BUT THEN WHY DID HE RUN AWAY?

WELL...WE'LL--WE'LL FIND THAT OUT TOGETHER WHEN WE SEE HIM.

WHEN WE SEE HIM?

THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE GOING--TO SEE YOUR FATHER--WASN'T IT?

WE'LL TALK TO HIM TOGETHER.

HEY, WHAT IS IT? YOU DON'T TRUST ME?

NOW, LOOK, ALL I WANT TO DO IS TALK TO HIM.

HMM?

ALRIGHT, YOU WIN. I'LL TELL YOU WHERE HE IS.

HOW LONG MUST I STAY OUT HERE?

YOU CAN GO IN NOW.

GOOD. I WANT A DRINK.

MENDOZA.

GET WORD BACK TO BARBARY HOUSE.

I WANT A FULL CREW HERE--EVERYBODY.

WE'RE HEADING FOR ORION.

Mendoza: ORION?

THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHERE DANNY CAINE IS HIDING.

AND I WANT THAT PLACE TIED UP SO TIGHT,

NOT EVEN A NIT CAN GET THROUGH.

YOU'VE GOT IT.

YOU LIED TO ME!

UHH!

UHH!

Zeke: CORBINO.

Caine: ORION.

THERE YOU WILL FIND YOUR FATHER.

WHAT IF IT'S TOO LATE?

WHAT IF CORBINO'S ALREADY FOUND HIM AND KILLED HIM?

WOULD YOU BLAME YOURSELF?

YES. I LET HIM TRICK ME.

FIRST MY MOTHER, NOW MY FATHER.

TCK.

TAKE THIS FROM ME.

TAKE IT.

DO AS I TELL YOU.

TAKE IT.

TAKE IT.

TAKE IT.

TAKE IT.

TAKE IT!

WHAT'S THE MATTER? TAKE IT.

I CAN'T!

YOU'RE TOO BIG AND TOO STRONG FOR ME.

SO IS CORBINO.
