The only thing worse than chasin' somebody

is being chased yourself,

so Ben White and his bunch

are a lot worse off than this posse.

Sheriff Jason had Ben's wife captured

after the gang raided Waco,

but he let her escape on purpose.

We split up.

Half of his trail bends brother Howie the the cave below,

the other half are followin' Ben's wife.

The sheriff says we'll wait a while

to see if Ben shows up.

Yuma.

Your eyes are better'n mine.

There.

Who's there?

Howie.

It's me.

T.

We'd better get in position.

♪ Johnny Yuma ♪

Oh, I waited till it was dark.

Where's Ben and my brother?

We split at the Royal

on account of my leg and all.

Ben sent me up here.

Headed across the Rincon itself

to draw 'em off in case they was on our tails.

Over the Rincon?

With Russ?

He took Russ?

Jump half outta his skin when he sees you ain't took.

Where are they?

Comin' here?

No.

No, we meet tonight.

Meet where?

He's gonna make 'em think he went over the Rincon

and then headed south for the border

and then he'll double back here.

Howie.

This lousy leg.

Howie.

Wait.

It's a sight for far warnin', T.

When they busted up that raid.

Bullets flyin', boys all droppin'.

Howie, where we supposed to meet them?

He'll get us out of it, T, like he done before.

You're Ben's wife,

but you never seen him when he really got...

I saw Russ ride off with you and Ben.

And you keep talkin' about Ben.

Where's my brother?

Where's Russ?

It was an accident, T.

His horse fell down the Royal comin' over the rocks.

He was all busted up.

It was only his leg, but Ben said he had to do it.

No.

Howie, no!

Just one bullet, T.

Only one to stop the pain.

Russ never knew.

Howie.

Russ was just a boy.

Just a boy.

T, he just did what he had to do.

There's only one way outta this, T.

Ben, that's all, just Ben.

Without him, there ain't nothin'.

Where we supposed to meet him?

Portales.

Portales.

What time?

Nine tonight.

Let's go.

Wait a minute.

With this hot sun beatin' down on the sand,

I don't think I can...

Now.

T.

He's your husband, T.

Russ was my brother for 15 years.

Don't call him on it.

He'll give you no quarter.

With you, Howie, or without you.

White, you're rimmed.

Where do you think you're going?

Look in the tunnel.

Where are the other two?

He asked you a question, missy.

Nobody else, just them two.

We know there were three that got away in the raid.

Your husband, your brother, and him.

You best tell us where the others are.

Look, girl, do you want to see them die too?

You want them to end up like Howie, here?

'Cause that's just what they're gonna do,

soon's the word gets out.

Every hawkeyed bounty hunter from here to the border

be settin' on their trail to cut up a piece of that reward.

If you go light with my brother,

I'll give you where they've gone.

Yes'm, I'll do the best I can.

It's all I can swear on.

El Boye.

Over the Rincon.

South to El Boye.

We were supposed to meet them there tonight.

Derek, you go...

No, I want you to stay with me.

Grail, trail her to Twin Pines.

Who's the sheriff over there?

Jim Greedy.

Tell him to keep her under lock till I get back.

The rest of you...

Somethin' bothering you, Grail?

Yeah, I joined up with this outfit to get Ben White.

So?

So there's $3,000 hangin' over his head.

I'm not so all-fire particular about money, Marshal.

Just give me my fair share and I'll take her in.

It's only two days and two nights.

You don't take her.

You got a mouth, boy.

All right, all right, that's enough.

Looks like you just bought yourself a job, Yuma.

Get movin'.

Where's your horse?

By the willows.

Well, we got a hot stretch to cross.

We'll water up at the stream.

Well, we can make those hills by dark.

There's water up there.

Camp for the night.

About another half day to Twin Pines.

You all right?

What?

You're not sick or somethin', are you?

No, I was just thirsty.

My mouth is dry with sand.

You look like you expect to see a pack of coyotes

come bustin' over that rise.

No, I was just thinkin'.

Portales.

Never heard of it.

Just a word.

A stage stop

or somethin'.

Well, we'd better get in the shade.

Thank you.

Go easy, it's gotta last all day.

Since we're gonna be together a couple of days,

what's your name?

T.

T?

T what?

Just T.

T.

Well, that's some name.

My brother gave it to me.

I guess I was born with somethin' else but never found out.

We was raised in an orphanage.

Russ, that's my brother, why, he took to callin' me T.

Guess it stuck.

You look awful fond when you talk about your brother.

Well, I guess when you're an orphan

and havin' someone to love and they love you, why,

I guess it'll make you look fond when you talk about 'em.

How'd you get in with Ben White?

He saved my life once.

Saved your life?

From what I've heard, you must be the only one.

Me and my brother.

Two years ago.

We was burnt out by Comanches.

The orphanage?

No, no, the people we was gived to.

Stackpoles.

Dirt farmers.

All they wanted was a couple of animals to work their place.

We was in the field when they hit.

Stackpoles, they burned up in the house.

Russ and me, why, we thought we was clear.

But the Comanches,

they found us and hauled us back to their camp.

And they tied Russ down,

and they tied me down.

And then he came.

Ben.

Out of the night.

Him and the others.

To get the loot that the Comanches had gotten.

So when they was done, why, they took us back to the mine.

And he told 'em, all the others, not to touch me or Russ.

Not once.

Not ever.

So you married him.

Well, it's the first time in my life

I never wanted for anything.

Even that horse.

Gave me that horse for a weddin' present.

The coldest, blackest stallion he could find.

You know, I can't help but think that that horse was him.

Well, we better go.

Over there.

- What... - Over there.

Give me that gun.

You know, I can use this.

What do you think you're doin'?

I don't like doin' this.

You've, well, you've been someone decent.

But I'm sorry, I just gotta.

I'll leave the water with you.

Leave the water?

Where are you...

That sign.

You weren't able to take your eyes off that sign.

Portales, what's there?

Just don't.

What's there, T?

Who, Ben?

Is Ben gonna be there?

And your brother?

Yes, Ben.

Well, you go to Ben.

You go to Ben, T,

and it's gonna end up in death for the three of you.

You heard that marshal.

There's bounty men swarmin' all over the place.

If just one gets to him...

They won't.

Not ever.

Not before me.

There's nothin' you can do for him, T.

I can kill him.

You know, I knew a man once.

Lived by a water hole

out in the desert.

Way out in the middle of nowhere.

No water around for miles.

One day a wrangler, just a-bustin' of thirst,

came up to that water hole and asked for a drink.

He says, this wrangler, if there's one thing in this life

that I prize above a woman, it's water.

And as long as I'm not about to share my woman.

I got a feeling you're not kiddin'.

It wasn't so long ago I was Mantle and Green myself.

Fourth Mississippi.

Good thirsty outfit.

Third Texas myself.

What you doin' out here, no horse, no gun?

If I told you, you wouldn't believe it.

I heard worse answers.

Where you makin' for?

Portalis, if this trail knows where it's goin'.

I'm meetin' someone there myself.

Oh?

Hop on, Reb.

Unless you mind to foot battle this heat.

Not if I got some choosin'.

Some animal, ain't it?

Yeah, there are a lot of blacks around here.

That's the thing about this part of the country.

Everything looks alike.

Take this knife.

Just a knife.

Common enough.

Which makes my point.

Hanged if I don't know a body's got one just like it.

Inside?

Well, as I breathe, T, honey baby, you made it away.

I made it away, Ben.

Basto, you miserable horse of a hound dog.

What you think of this filly of mine?

Bust away from the dangest mess of raid you ever did see.

You look right fair, Ben.

Fair?

Well, why not, now?

I got me a bar full of rotgut,

my wife and me.

What more is there in life for a man to ask?

Hey, I've plum forgot.

I catched me a trail buddy.

Sawin' off a cactus for want of thirst.

Tell me your name, trail buddy.

Go on.

Yuma.

Johnny Yuma.

Yuma.

Boy, ain't that a juicer, huh?

Hey, T, now where's your manners, honey?

Now, I said the man's my trail buddy.

Nod to him, girl, call him over.

She's sorta shy around people she never met before.

Hello.

Ma'am.

Now go on, go on.

Don't you know an invite when you hear one?

Go on.

Basto, you fat up some more,

you gonna float through the roof.

Ben, only the best for you.

I been savin' this for you.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Just gimme some of that ol' belly boiler

you kill your pigs with.

You ever see the way ol' Basto kills a pig?

Huh?

No, I haven't.

Well, he just roosters 'em up on this stuff.

And they die happy.

Have some?

No.

Gimme the gun.

What was that you said, El Paso?

Oh, Yuma.

Yeah, yeah, Yuma.

Oh, I swear to praises it ain't that name.

Basto, I want to tell you about it.

You listenin'?

I'm listenin', Ben.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, yeah.

Well, we sent a girl into town like always.

Set up a fuss.

Lift a dress from a store, whatever.

You follow?

And then us, we come in.

Well, sir.

You just ain't never saw the likes of it.

I mean, when we went for that bank.

And you never,

I mean you just never...

Still no drink, Albuquerque?

Basto, they came for us from all over.

I mean from all over.

Cleaned out the whole lousy crew,

'exceptin' Howie, the girl, and me.

Howie and me, we bulled our way out.

Howie, you, and Russ.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's right, T.

It was Russ.

Just you three, Ben.

And you, T.

All on your lonesome,

you just bust away from a whole town

full of het-up, outraged, spirited citizens.

How'd you work that, hon'?

Just bust away, Ben.

How?

Nobody followed me.

Well, not here, T.

Not at first, anyways.

'Cause there's only one that knowed about here.

The only one, Ben?

Howie.

You didn't tell Russ.

Maybe you sent him away some place safe.

Set a trail for the others to follow away from him.

Onto you.

T.

Where's Howie?

Where's Russ?

I didn't kill him.

It was a posse.

He shot on us first.

Ben, if there's one thing you taught me good,

it's how to use this.

Well, now, what you think you're gonna do with it, T?

Give me the gun, T.

I'm gonna use it, Ben.

Just like you used yours on Russ.

Basto,

what you got to kill horses?

T, listen to me.

No, I don't wanna kill you.

That's right, Ben.

Keep your back turned.

Some of this, maybe?

A boy.

A 15-year-old boy.

I'm gonna whip you, T.

Who worshiped you, thought you were God.

And a schooner.

Who'd have died before he'd ever have talked.

That's why you killed him, isn't it, Ben?

To keep him from talkin'?

I'm-a whip you till you got nothin' left

in you but an inch of life.

What are you, Ben?

What are you?

And then you know what I'm gon' do?

I loved you.

How could I have ever loved you?

I'm gonna take you out to Howie's grave.

I seen what you did to the others.

The hurts and the killin's.

You gon' dig it up, T.

Howie's grave.

But never to me.

Oh, oh, I figured that you would.

But you wouldn't do it this way.

It would be some way different.

And then you gonna just stand there

and look down at Howie.

What you felt for me was nothin'.

That much I knew.

And I'm gonna keep you standin' there all day, T,

just lookin' down at Howie.

All I ever had was Russ.

Just Russ!

And then I'm gonna whip you some more.

And you had nothin'.

Wanted nothin'.

Just Howie.

You and Howie.

Ben, why couldn't you have loved us, Ben?

The way we loved you?

Ben.

Ben?

Oh, you're a wildcat, you are.

Why?

Why, Ben?

A regular whelp of a wildcat.

I always want nothing.

Why, Ben?

Oh, give me somethin', Basto.

Give me somethin' to kill a bear.

A bear.

Lord of the wild that kills its young.

There is no law in the wilderness.
