- Adobe labyrinth of Casas Grandes, Spanish for big houses,

sprawls on a sun-washed plain in Chihuahua,

metropolis of an Indian civilization that existed

between 1050 and 1340.

The city covered about 90 acres and housed

perhaps 5,000 people.

Highly urbanized, the Casas Grandians constructed

large temples, wide plazas, and multi-story apartments.

A network of dams and ditches controlled

the meager water supply channeling some to the city

and diverting the rest to irrigate thousands

of square miles

of arid land.

Casas Grandians also crafted highly detailed potteries.

Despite its advanced culture, the city collapsed into ruins

possibly from invasion or revolt.

Chivas, a structure of 650 rooms, tiered in places

to four levels, the city that the Spanish named

Beautiful Village, provided housing for 1,000 people

at its zenith more than 900 years ago.

Between the 10th and 14th centuries,

thousands of Indian communities from cities

like Casas Grandes and Pueblo...

- Ain't that just my luck.

- Get it off.

Let's get outta here.

- Hey, you need any help?

- No, I just gotta yank this wheel

and take it to the station.

- Hey wait a second.

I might be able to save you some hassle.

Hey, you know when you got a bike as old as mine is,

you gotta be well-prepared.

Got a hand pump right here

and a hot patch kit.

I think we can probably just pull the tube

out through that tire there.

And you can pump enough air into it that'll

get you to the nearest station.

- You're all right.

- Name's Jay, what's yours?

- Pete.

That's my brother AI.

- Howdy.

Yeah, I just came out of L.A. this morning.

Got 10 days off work.

Wow, it's really nice country around here, huh?

- Yeah.

- Nice ridin' through these parts.

- Yeah.

- Are there any Indians still living there?

- Why of course.

- Wow, then we'll get to see them, won't we?

- We sure will.

Won't that be interesting?

- Yeah.

- That's good enough.

I can ride it like it is.

- Great.

Hey, let me just put this stuff away.

- Okay, AI, we're back in the race.

AI.

- Hey listen, why don't I ride along with you, huh,

just to make sure it stays around?

- Ay, that's great.

- What's he still doing here?

- He's gonna ride along.

He's all right.

- How long we gonna be there, Miss Tenny?

- Only two days, Tina.

But, we can see most of it in that time.

Then we'll drive to the Grand Canyon, get some pack horses,

and get right down into the canyon itself.

Oh, we'll have a great time.

It's gonna be such fun.

You're gonna really love it, girls.

We'll sleep out in our sleeping bags

and cook all our meals out in the open.

It's gonna be just absolutely beautiful.

Now, listen to this.

Navajo Indians in in New Mexico...

- This will be our last comfort stop, girls.

What'll it be, mister?

- Well filler up and check the oil.

- Nice.

- Yeah, real nice.

Come on, I'll get you something to drink.

- Have you been driving long?

- Uh huh.

- Well, where are you coming from?

- Back there.

- Uh, where you going?

- That a-way.

- That a-way.

Yeah, well, it's been nice talking to you.

- Yeah.

- 650 V Star, huh?

- Oh yeah.

- Fun, aren't they?

- Oh yeah, they're a lot of fun.

Say, sounds like you just might know

a little bit about bikes.

- So, so.

Julie here, she's the good one.

She rides as well as some of the boys do.

- Well how about that.

- How 'bout what?

- Uh, nothing, I just thought it was great

that you like bikes.

- I hate them.

- You hate 'em?

Well, she just said that you could ride real good.

- You don't have to like a thing to do it well.

Anyone can ride a motorcycle, even you.

- Uh yeah, well, I j-just, you know, what she said.

- Well, I mean, I just...

That's the trouble with you guys who ride motorcycles.

All you can talk about is bikes.

Well, I don't like them.

Besides they're noisy and dangerous.

- Yeah, well, I mean, gee, I'm sorry.

I didn't, you know, I didn't mean to--

- Is that all you can say, I'm sorry?

- You better get back to the bus, girls.

We're gonna be shoving off in just a minute.

- Okay.

- See ya.

- Wow, that Julie's really a pretty girl.

- They're all really

Hey!

How 'bout a little service out here?

- Okay, okay, what'll it be?

- I wanna fill 'em up.

- Oh thank you, sure will.

- What do you do around here when you get a little horny?

Or don't you get a little horny, Pop?

- Hey come on, come on.

That bus is putting a lot of distance between them and us.

- We'll be on the road as soon as Speedy here

gets us all filled up.

- Why, you're sure in a big hurry for a bunch of guys

that's just bumming around.

- Must get awful bored out here with this dumb job.

- Only when loud-mouthed jerks like you come in.

- Watch your mouth, old man, before I put my foot in it.

- Boy, are you ever ferocious.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, maybe it'll help clean your crummy bike off.

- Wipe it off.

- Here's a rag.

Wipe it off yourself.

That'll be $4.12 for the lot of you.

- Got candy?

- Sure got some.

It's inside.

- Pete.

Come here.

I'll take care of him.

- He's just an old man.

- It's all right.

Get your bike fired up.

I'll get you some candy.

- That'll be $4.12.

Out of five.

4.15, 4.25, .75 is five.

Don't want any candy?

- No, I don't want no candy.

Hey, Pops.

- Huh?

- Forgot my Blue Chips.

- Oh, here.

There you go.

- Marvin.

- Yes, ma'am.

- How far are we to the first campsite?

- Oh, 'bout another 50 miles, I reckon.

But, don't you worry none.

I'll have you there before long.

- What seems to be the problem, Marvin?

- Uh, I can't see right off,

but something's wrong somewhere.

Obviously, but it isn't

anything serious, is it?

- Can't be the gas.

We ain't come that far and I just put new spark plugs in it.

Dang if I know.

- Now what?

- Somebody's bound to come along pretty soon.

I'll just flag 'em down and get some help.

- In this part of the country, at this time of year?

- You're right traffic is kinda scarce this time of year,

but you wanted to rough it anyway.

Now's as good a time as any to start.

Besides, this ain't a bad place for camping.

- That's a very astute observation, Marvin.

Thank you.

- Think nothing of it, ma'am.

Glad to help.

- It's awful hot in the bus, Miss Tenny.

Is it all right if we just walk around?

Sure it is, course.

- It's okay.

- Is it gonna take very long?

- No, Marvin will have it fixed

in just a little bit, won't you Marvin?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Well, gang, here we are, right smack dab

in the middle of nowhere.

At least a whole day's walk to the nearest boy.

- If that's all you think of, Bobbie,

then why did you come on this trip?

- My mother insisted.

Hey listen, Miss Purity, don't tell me

you never think about boys.

- Don't be absurd, Bobbie, of course I do.

- Then you know there is a difference between the boys

and the girls.

- Just what are you getting at, Bobbie?

- The truth.

Just tell it like it is truth.

- Nothing wrong with that.

- My, my.

Sounds like regular group therapy.

- Um, not at all.

At least I'm honest about what I do.

- You're hopeless, Bobbie, absolutely hopeless.

- I think think there's another word it.

- What do you mean?

- Well, if I have to explain it, it wouldn't be worthwhile.

- Come on.

We've all had it and loved it.

- Not all, Bobbie.

Regardless of how square, how unnatural, how hypocritical,

not all of us have had it.

- Do you mean to tell me that we actually have

a virgin among us?

- There are probably more than you'd care to know about.

You see, some of us were raised by parents

who stressed the teachings of the Bible.

- Please, I can't take it.

Would you get off that crap?

Either you like it or you don't.

It was meant to be used not to just sit on.

- That's all very understandable,

if you're talking about dogs.

- Are you calling me a bitch?

- That's right.

You're just a horny little bitch.

- Miss Tenny.

Run and get Miss Tenny.

- Come on, stop it.

- Bobbie.

- Stop it girls, cut it out.

- Bobbie.

Cut it out fighting with each other.

- Get up.

- Cut it out.

- Come on.

No.

- Hi there.

- Howdy.

- You guys just stop to get a little exercise?

- No, just a little misunderstanding.

Actually, we didn't mean to stop at all,

but the bus sorta chug-a-chugged

and up and quit on me.

- Looks like you're gonna be here for awhile.

- Yeah, that's too bad.

- Yeah, lucky for us you guys happened to come along.

I can't find the trouble with this thing.

Hey, maybe one of you guys could have a look at it, huh?

- What do you think?

- I don't know nothing about buses.

- Ah, come on, you can just take a look at it for him.

- Okay.

For you I'll take a look.

- Dope, your bus chug-a-chugged, huh?

- Hey, reckon he can fix it?

- I don't know nothing about buses.

Hey, you guys have a good time.

I'll go over there and talk to the ladies.

- Hey Sport, you got any tools?

- Yeah, just a minute, I'll get 'em for you.

- Turn on the ignition too.

- Okay.

- Come here.

You.

You, come here, I wanna talk to you.

What are you fighting about?

What are you fighting about, hmm?

- What are you dudes doing out here

in the middle of the desert?

Hope you like the sights you're seeing.

- I seen some worse.

- Ain't we all?

- You're a pretty smart little cookie, ain't ya?

- I been around some.

- I bet you have.

- Hey, you really had me going back there, you know.

I didn't know what to say.

- You did look kind of funny.

I got one look at Pam trying to keep from laughing

and I just couldn't hold it anymore.

- Yeah, I guess I must've looked sorta silly, huh?

- I'm sorry.

It was mean of me to tease you like that.

- Oh no, look, no problem, no problem.

- See, you really are nice.

Most guys would've gotten angry.

- Oh no, I mean, what the heck,

you were just having a little fun.

- But, it was at your expense.

Anyway, I'm glad you understand.

- Hey, where are you from?

- We're all out of Los Angeles.

- Oh, is this some sort of school group or something?

- No, we're just friends.

- Oh, uh, well, what are you doing out here?

- Our folks decided to pitch in and send us

on a camping trip.

They probably just wanted to get us

out of their hair for awhile.

- Where are you gonna go?

- Oh, just a little tour of the desert,

you know, ghost towns, Indian ruins, junk like that.

- Well, how long you gonna be here?

- Hey wait a minute you're asking all the questions.

How about answering a few for me?

- Oh yeah, sure, shoot.

- Well, first off, what's your name?

- Jay.

- Jay what?

- Jay Andrews.

- Jay Andrews, Jay Andrews, that's a nice name.

How 'bout your friends?

- Oh that's AI over there and then that's Pete over there

working on the bus.

- Have you been friends long?

- No, I just met 'em down on the highway.

Pete was having some trouble with his bike

so I stopped to give him a hand.

Hey, you know, you're really pretty.

- Well, thank you, Jay, but I'm really a mess

riding in the bus in all this heat and--

- Oh, you'd never know it.

You're really pretty.

- Well, I--

- Well, I ...

- I uh--

- Well, I uh...

How do you like it,

a taste of

your own medicine, huh?

- Well, either you have a clogged gas line,

or you blew the fuel pump.

- The fuel pump.

Oh man, that's all we need.

Now, what do I do?

- Well, don't ask me.

I just told you what was wrong with it, sport.

What you do from here is all up to you.

- Well then, could you at least

make a phone call when you get back to the next town

and send some help out to us?

- It's all right with me, if it's all right with AI.

- Which one's AI?

- That one.

- Oh, thank you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You're AI, aren't you?

That guy working on the bus said that I should

talk to you regarding favors.

- He say that?

- Well it seems as if the fuel pump is broken

and Marvin doesn't have the tools to get it working again.

- So what?

- Well, I was wondering if you'd be kind enough

to make a phone call when you get back to the next town

and send us some help.

- I don't think so.

I like it right here.

- Are you gonna just let us sit here

until you make up your mind?

- No, you see what I was thinking about doing now,

I was thinking about taking this girl and putting her

on the back of my bike and going out in the desert with her.

- Bobbie, you'll do no such thing.

- Okay.

Well, if she gets on my bike we might just

ride into the next town and send back some help.

Otherwise, we're just gonna ride off in the other direction

and, you're gonna be stuck out here all by yourself.

- Don't try to intimidate me like that.

I don't have to stand here and listen to you.

I think it's time for you and your friends to leave.

We'll manage without you.

We'll just have to wait until someone else comes along

who's willing to help us.

- Don't be a prude, Miss Tenny.

I'll go with him.

I don't mind.

Looks like that's the only way we're gonna get out of here.

- Whether I'm a prude or not is irrelevant.

Now, what you plan on doing with your life is your concern,

but not while I'm responsible for you.

Come on, let's go.

- Hey!

You let her stay here.

This is none of your business.

- The well being of these girls is exactly my business.

- What's the hassle?

- There wouldn't be any hassle if you and your friend

would just go on your way and leave us alone.

We'll manage somehow without you.

Let's go.

- You're not gonna get very far with a busted fuel pump.

- I happen to be responsible for these girls.

And, I'm not letting any one of 'em go off

with this ill-mannered

goon!

- They'll make it.

What do you think, AI?

Think we ought to give 'em a break?

- Well, I don't know.

- Well, what about the chicks, you wanna stay here?

- You wanna stay?

- Well, you know I wanna stay.

- Then we'll stay.

- Do you think there's any chance of fixing it?

- Yeah, there's a chance if we had some decent tools.

- Hey why don't we just pull the pump out

and take it to the gas station?

- No, I don't wanna do that.

It's gonna take too much time.

- AI, remember we were out here a couple years ago

riding around there was that farmer working on that tractor?

That's around here somewhere.

Why don't I go out and check it out?

- I don't wanna do it.

It's gonna take too much time.

I wanna get outta here.

- Hey, why don't we just go and take the girls with us.

- Who is this guy, man?

- Hey no, look.

We hook the bikes up to the bus and just tow it.

You think it'll work?

What do you think?

- Well, I think it sounds like a real good idea.

Maybe we can get ourselves some action.

What do you think, Marvin?

- I don't know.

- Well, if it's all right with you,

then it's all right with me.

- I'll check it out.

- Is this it?

- It is as far as I'm concerned.

- It's a dead end.

- Hey, what's going on?

I thought you guys knew where you was going.

- We do, dummy.

We're going on our way and you can tell the lady

in the bus that we say goodbye.

- Hey, wait a minute.

You're not gonna go and leave us out here

in the middle of nothing, are ya?

- That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

- Am I to understand that you plan to desert us

in this god-forsaken place?

- You been telling me to get out of here all day

so that's just what I'm gonna do.

- Well, that was before when we were back by the highway

and had a chance.

But, now that you've brought us all the way out here,

I don't think it's fair that you should abandon us.

- Is that so?

- Look, we don't have much money but I could probably--

- I don't want your money.

- Well, then what do you want?

- You'd be surprised what a piece of ass would do

for my disposition.

- Come on, you big mother, come on.

Come on, you big , come on, you wanna fight, huh,

you wanna fight, huh, come on?

Come on, come on, huh, you wanna fight, huh,

huh, you wanna fight?

- Look out, Marvin!

- Get him, get him!

- He's dead.

Hey, AI.

You broke his neck.

He's dead.

- He's dead?

Hey Marvin's dead and you,

you killed him!

- Shut up!

- You killed Marvin.

- Shut up!

- You murderer.

- Shut up.

- Talk to me, man.

We gotta just get on our bikes and run outta here, AI.

Come on now.

AI, we're gonna right outta here.

And, we'll just keep on going to a new place

like you've always done, AI, and let's go back to Mexico

and we can just keep on going, AI.

We can just ride on back to Mexico.

- No!

They're gonna come after us

put us back in jail.

- AI, no one's gonna put us in jail.

It was an accident.

- It was no accident.

- We didn't mean to kill him, man.

- They saw you push him in front of my bike.

He's dead and we killed him.

And, if any of those people get outta here and tell anybody

it's gonna be our ass.

- It's all right, it's all right.

- What are you looking for?

- I'm looking for something to cover that guy's body with

before he cooks in the sun.

- Oh, what a horrible thought.

- Yeah, well just be glad it wasn't you.

- What do you mean by that?

- Oh, Julie, listen.

Don't you know what's going on?

- What do you mean?

- Look, those two guys just killed a man.

Now, they gotta do something about it.

Now, they got one of two choices.

They can either turn themselves in or they can run.

If they run, we tell the police.

Now, if they capture 'em, we identify 'em.

But, if there's no we to tell,

do you understand?

- You mean you think he might try to kill us?

- Look, what else can he do?

We're witnesses.

But, one witness is as good as 100.

That's why one of us has gotta get away.

Then maybe he'll run.

- Oh my God, Jay, what are we gonna do?

- We'll do nothing.

Let's just play along with 'em.

It'll give us some time to think.

And, it'll give him some time to think too.

God, I hope he runs.

Now, listen, don't tell anybody about this, okay?

This is just between you and me, all right?

Don't tell anyone, no one, okay?

- You gotta be crazy.

- It's the only way.

- Well, I ain't going for it.

- Look, nobody comes out here for months at a time.

By that time, we're gonna be long gone.

We gotta look out for one another, right?

You look out for me, I look out for you.

Besides, you don't gotta do nothing

but make sure they don't get away.

I'll take care of the rest.

We're gonna have a good time.

Right?

Isn't that right?

- AI, if you weren't my brother...

- But, I am.

- No.

- Look at that AI.

He looks like some kind of freak.

- He scares me.

- Me too.

- Shh, you'd have to be stupid not to be scared.

And AI's out of his head.

- I wanna get away from here.

- I wish I knew what he was thinking.

- Well, maybe you wouldn't like it.

I don't know about the rest of you,

but I'm gonna give him something else to think about.

- Like what?

- Simple, I know all of you think of me

as little Bobbie hard ass, but that's okay with me.

But as long as that dude's thinking about my ass,

our chances of getting out of here are much better.

- How are you gonna do that?

- Usually on my back.

- Bobbie!

- Now, listen.

What I'm gonna do is for all of us.

You just remember that.

- Bobbie, you come back here.

- She's a pretty loud broad, ain't she?

- She's just horny and won't admit it.

- What about you?

- Always, but I don't try to hide it.

Mmm mmm, I don't wanna do that, not in front of everybody.

- Why don't you take your clothes off?

- I don't want to, not with an audience.

- I want you to take your clothes off.

- I don't want to.

- I want you to take your clothes off!

You don't want me to hurt you, do you?

Take off your clothes.

She looks pretty good, don't she?

Take those.

Come here.

Come here.

- Get away from her.

- Hey, hey, get back.

Oh, you wanna fight with me, huh?

Pretty brave.

You wanna fight?

Now, it's your turn.

You been a pain in my ass all day long.

What are you gonna say now, huh?

You got something to say?

You tie him up.

Get in there!

Big mouth, huh?

- Please, please, I'm sorry.

- You're a big mouth, huh?

You got a big mouth.

I won't talk.

I won't tell anybody. - What are you gonna say, huh?

- Huh, what do you got to say, huh?

- Please don't, please don't hurt me.

- Come here.

Huh, what do you got to say?

Huh?

Get over there.

- You don't look so bad.

Put your hands down.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Let me see what you look like.

Let me see what you look like.

You're gonna like it.

I'm good.

If you fight me, I'll kill you.

- I want a taste.

- Just taste it.

- Can I have a taste?

Come on, Tina, come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Want a drink?

- Lil nervous?

- Come on.

Come on.

- Relax.

- Okay, you're so nervous.

Come on, just a taste.

Come on.

- Come on, baby.

Oh this looks like...

- You let him get away.

You son of a bitch, get him.

Son of a bitch, you get him.

- Come on, baby.

- Get him, he's gonna hang us.

Get in there, you get in there.

- Come on!

- He's gonna get away, get him!

Get him!

Get him, get him!

If you don't get him, he's gonna hang us.

- Shut up!

Get him that son of a bitch!

Go get him!

Son of a bitch, you let him get away.

Get him, get him!

You son of a bitch.

You son of a bitch.

God damn it, you son of a bitch.

You son of a bitch.

Oh God.

- Where are you going?

- I just wanna go see if Miss Tenny's all right.

Okay?

- Go on.

Sit down.

- Miss Tenny.

- Are you okay?

- I'm all right.

- Miss Tenny.

- It's all right.

There are other things more important.

- Look what he's done to you.

- Doesn't matter.

The only thing he does is...

- Did you get him?

- He got himself.

- What do you mean?

- He lost control, went over a cliff.

He's not gonna tell anybody anything.

- That wasn't so hard, was it?

You done good.

You deserve a reward.

Come on.

- Did you hear that?

Tina, you're our last chance.

You've got to get out of here and get help.

- Me?

How?

- Just crawl out the window and go back across the desert

the way we came.

- Will you came with me?

- I can't, I can't leave the other girls.

It's all up to you, baby.

You've got to do it alone.

Now, when you get to the highway,

follow it back toward the gas station.

Someone will find you.

- I'm scared.

- You girls made a big mistake.

Your friend ain't never coming back.

Take your pick.

Go ahead, you take any one you want.

- Then call the police and tell them where we are.

- I'm scared.

- They'll take care of you.

Now, go, quick before they come.

Come on, Tina, hurry.

- You have a good time.

My head's hurting.

- Hey, AI.

Where's the other one?

- She's special to you?

- Go on, go!

- She's in the other room.

- Hey, AI, she's not in here.

- Watch 'em, I'll take care of this one.

- No, please don't!

Please stop it.

Please don't.

- Where's Tina?

Did you find her?

Is she all right?

- I don't know.

I couldn't find her.

I looked all around for her.

But, it's dark.

She'll come back when she's scared.

Did you miss me?

Hmm?

Did you miss me?

Did you?

Come with me.

Get up.

Come on, get up, get up.

Sit down.

What's the matter with you, huh, Pete?

I saved chicks for you.

You don't want 'em?

It's all right.

You'll watch, okay?

You'll learn something.

And, you'll watch.

Maybe you'll learn something.

You watch too.

This is step number one.

Step number two.

And, this is step number three.

Where you going?

Sit down!

You ain't seen step number four yet.

Sit down!

Watch.

You're gonna learn something.

- Hey!

Where do you think you're going?

- To the bathroom, if you don't mind.

- Go with her.

- Well, really.

- Get back.

- Miss Tenny, get outside, get outside!

- Come on in the house.

- Hey, Miss Tenny.

Looks like I'm ready to go.

Listen, this won't take too long.

I'll be right back with some help.

- Thank you, Jay.

- Listen, you guys just take it easy, huh?

Everything's gonna be okay.
