which I do not understand. All I know

for certain is I am alive. How I got

here, who I am, I do not know. But I

must have seen or done something,

something terrible. To be buried alive,

to be left for dead. I can remember

nothing of my life, my friends or my

enemies. But the key to my identity lies

somewhere out there. And I will search

until I find the man I was and hope to

be again.

Okay.

Sweet mother of God.

>> April 1866. [music]

I am no longer sure of the day. That's

how long I've been riding from Texas now

into New Mexico territory. I had [music]

a destination fixed, trying to find

records of my past. But something

changed inside me this morning. Some

force and energy is drawing me. Sure as

the needle of a compass is drawn due

north.

Since I do not understand my life and

can't control it, I will surrender for a

while.

and let myself be guided by things I

cannot see.

All right. Hey

You got to do that.

Wasn't just me. All of us went crazy

shooting everything that moved.

>> What happened here?

>> Who is he? man named Sam Picket.

>> Pickicket?

>> Well, what happened? I mean, who killed

him?

>> A who? It's a what?

>> Out of the way.

>> Move.

>> Now,

that's enough.

YOU WILL HOLSTER THAT GUN, SERGEANT.

>> You are a brave or a foolhardy man

assaulting one of my soldiers. Sir,

>> you train your troops to attack unarmed

boys. Major,

>> I instruct my men to maintain order and

enforce the laws of this township.

>> Some of them are quicker studies than

others. Sergeant, return to the barracks

for disciplinary action.

>> You have a name, sir?

>> Lazarus. And your business here?

>> Just passing through.

>> I would suggest continuing on your

journey, Mr. Lazarus. The next time you

interfere with military business, I may

not be here to prevent your demise.

Do you now understand why you are here?

>> I don't understand any of this.

>> There's a man called Wickwire. He digs

in the kas of my ancestors.

A dead man.

>> How was it? I know him.

>> Follow the bodies. They will be your

trail.

McDonald's.

>> Too late for work today. Come back

tomorrow.

>> Not looking for work.

A fellow named Picket worked for you.

>> Who are you?

>> Name's Lazarus.

>> I hope Mr. Picket wasn't a friend to

Catamont got him.

>> Catamount

>> means cat of the mountain. Cougar.

>> My daughter Isabel.

>> Miss.

He was killed by a cougar.

>> Yeah.

>> Not just any cougar. I caught a glimpse

of him once.

>> Oh, my father's fans. He'd have us

believe that it's a cat and out of this

world.

I saw the victim in town. The way he was

slashed.

>> Yeah. Well, Mr. Picket wasn't the first

to be killed like that. You know, there

have been five such attacks. The town's

people, the settlers are getting quite

panicked.

>> Our Mexican friends insist on getting

off the mountain before sundown. I told

them that the attacks never come until

at least an hour after dark.

>> Man,

>> you know anything more about Pigot?

Where he's from?

>> No idea.

He and two of his colleagues, Mr. Dupe,

Mr. Johnson, work for me. I ran him off

when I realized they were just here to

plunder the artifacts were cataloged.

>> Look, it's very important that I talk to

his friends. This man's skull was

crushed. Now, was he killed in some

tribal warfare, or did a greedy thief

with a shovel dig through his grave just

to get a piece of pottery or some

jewelry he could sell?

>> Excuse me, sir, but finding these men is

just important to me as these ruins are

to you. These men are thieves.

For all I know, you're one of them.

>> I'm sorry. Excuse him. He's just a very

passionate man in love with history. It

enrages him to see people damage and

dismantle these ruins. You know, they

take things. They take bones and pottery

and and sacred objects and they they

ship them back east to museum

collectors. They bring a fortune in

Europe.

You should stay and eat with us.

>> Have you ever seen the Anastasia ruins?

>> No.

I've always found this to be such a

beautiful and spiritual place.

I come here as often as I can.

The Anastasia were one of the ancient

tribes that preceded the Navajo, the

Hopi, the Zouri.

Maybe direct ancestors, maybe not.

These people, they thrive for thousands

of years and then suddenly they just

disappeared

about 500 years ago.

[music]

Mr. Lazarus, you all right?

>> Who is he?

>> Oh, that's Nikai. It's my friend.

He's Navajo.

>> But who is he?

>> Well, the Indians say he's someone

special, expected to be chief.

I hope they're right. The Indians are

going to need all the help they can get.

They'll soon be going the same way as

the Anastasia.

Lazarus. That's a pretty weighty name to

carry around, doesn't it?

>> It does weigh heavily sometimes. Yes,

sir.

>> Well, I guess we don't choose our names.

You strike me as an educated man, well

bred, decent.

Puzzles me.

>> What business would you have with men

like Dup Johnson and

>> business? What kind of business do you

think I'm in?

>> They're trading in relics taken from

these ruins stolen from death.

>> I am not a merchant, sir.

Or am I a thief?

A traveler.

They were displaying the body of a dead

man in town, Mr. Picket.

Blooded as he was, I thought I

recognized him from my past. If this man

has partners, I need to find him.

>> And you thought you recognized him?

>> Exactly what part of your past was Mr.

Picket in, Mr. Lazarus?

>> It's uh personal, sir. Hard to explain.

If I were you, I would try very hard to

explain it. People around here are

upset. They're scared to death.

A stranger comes in asking questions

just after some murders have happened.

They're bound to question him. If these

people were killed by a cat, I could

hardly be a suspect in these deaths. If

I were in business with these grave

robbers,

I wouldn't come here and question you,

would I?

>> You might.

Look around, see what else there was to

plunder.

>> Thank you for the coffee, professor, but

I find your scrutiny tiresome. My

apologies to your daughter for skipping

supper.

>> Lazarus, wait. It'll be dark soon. It's

dangerous out there.

>> Dangerous everywhere.

>> Please accept my apology.

These murders are very disturbing. I'm

just as upset as everyone else.

Please sit down.

Have supper with us. Spin the night.

I'll try to answer your questions.

>> Associates are Mr. Picket.

Charlton Depay. You know where I can

find him?

>> No, sir. I don't. Last time they showed

up here, I ran them off with a shotgun.

Weren't a civilized man. I pulled the

trigger.

You got any more questions?

>> There's an old Navajo. His face has

crevices in it like these canyon walls.

Strange,

the shaman,

Navajo medicine man, the healer.

He heals in mysterious ways. Man has

great powers, but he looks harmless

enough. I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Especially if I'd been trafficking in

relics from the Oasis graves.

>> He's an old man.

>> That old man, Mr. Lazarus, is a

magician.

He's a shape shifter.

You can throw off that old body of his

and take on the form of an animal. What

the Navajos call an ally.

His ally is a cougar.

I saw him once. Well, I told you it's

just a glimpse.

>> The cat of mine.

>> It's no ordinary cat. I find it odd.

Professor,

you're a man of science.

You believe in magic.

I don't have your education.

But I think an animal is an animal. A

man is a man.

>> Well, like you said, Mr. Lazarus, you

don't have my education.

[music]

>> WOW.

WHOA. WHOA. EASY. EASY. WHOA.

MR. LAZARUS,

what is it? What happened?

>> It's Johnson. It's Mr. Johnson. Is he

alive?

>> Afraid not.

>> Johnson. Chat him out. Got Johnson.

>> DUPE. YOU GOT A HELL OF A NERVE BRINGING

HIM HERE.

>> I didn't do it. I didn't do it.

How do you do it? I didn't give the

orders. I swear in Christ's name.

>> I swear it's worse sprung out here. I've

been chasing.

>> You were plundering the ruins.

>> My law says I can't dig up anything I

want. Same as you.

You

>> wait.

Wait a second.

>> Now that it's daylight, maybe I can find

the pace tracks.

Come about the dead man.

>> Who's the deceased?

>> Johnson.

>> What about Dupe?

>> He took off into the canyon.

>> Slash like the others.

What is it this time, professor?

The catamount or the shape-shifting

Indian?

>> You laugh all you like. It'll destroy

anyone that violates these ruins.

Everyone who's been killed and stolen

from this place.

>> Well, aren't you violating them?

>> Not at all, sir. Cataloging, restoring,

preserving for posterity. Once there was

an entire civilization.

>> Not anymore.

Got them right now. FORWARD.

>> Old man. If you're trying to spook me,

you're succeeding.

What's going on here? What's it got to

do with me?

>> You won't find what you're looking for

alone.

>> What am I looking for besides to pay

>> the bodies?

>> Who's

>> I will send someone to keep you on your

path.

Three,

two, three.

Shaman told me to come.

Are you not afraid of the dark like the

others?

Afraid of some things?

Not the dark?

I'm amazed you could find me out here in

the middle of nowhere.

The fire helped.

Imagine it would.

So is that old man the shape-shifting

Indian some talk about?

>> It is amazing what you people think we

can do. It is amazing what you people

think we cannot.

>> Hey, who's out there?

The day of reckoning is now here,

gentlemen.

>> Bob Cowell was an honest trapper, not

some thief in the night. There are

measures I'm now compelled to take. But

>> wasn't it just a cougar?

>> Young lady, you find me a cougar that

did this. You tear it skin off and I

think you'll find a very real Navajo

hiding underneath.

>> The stones.

He built his house with stones from the

ruins.

>> Beautiful, aren't they?

>> I've told you, Major. The ruins are

cursed. If they're desoiled, the

desoiler will suffer the consequence.

>> I make my own curses. Bring in every

Navajo male within riding distance of

this house.

>> You can't do that.

>> There is no curse. The Navajos want this

land back. Well, it's no longer theirs

to have.

>> That is just a simple fact. Still, they

persist. It's all a ploy to keep the

settlers scared. A last gasp to reclaim

the impossible.

What?

>> Look, here's your tracks.

>> Dupe can't be far.

Mr.

[music]

Lazarus, there he is.

>> [music]

>> You stay here.

>> Dupe.

>> YOU.

>> NOBODY'S BRINGING ME IN.

LOOK, I just want to talk. I need to ask

you SOME QUESTIONS.

>> I ANSWERED ALL YOUR QUESTIONS BACK THEN.

>> I told you we was just following orders.

>> Back when?

Where was that?

>> You know where it was. Many of your

fancy tricks like last time.

>> You want to know something? I'll tell

you what, they let us go. TOLD US TO

DISAPPEAR. THEN THEY CALL US DESERTERS.

THEY WAS COVERING UP AFTER YOU CAME

AROUND ASKING QUESTIONS.

LOOK, I just want to talk. I can't

remember where that was. Please, I'm

asking for your help.

I'm not going to kill you TO PAY.

THAT'S RIGHT. You ain't going to kill no

one.

Me and Johnson and Picket took the fall,

but not the man who gave the orders.

They always protects the brass. They

ain't here now.

>> Mr. B. No.

Heat.

Heat.

We found Dupe.

Cat got him, too.

>> No, I went looking for him. I had to

talk to him. I don't know why, but he

went crazy with fear at the side of me.

He's about to attack the boy.

>> Are you telling me he killed him?

>> No. No, I killed him. I I had to.

Believe me, it's the last thing I wanted

to do. No great loss to the civilized

world.

>> Thank you for bringing me the catamorn.

>> What are you crazy?

>> How do you explain this?

>> Those men weren't killed by a claw

necklace.

>> Another man was slashed to death last

night.

>> I was with the boy on the mountain.

>> If he's not the murderer, I'll just keep

executing Navajos until I find the right

one.

Father.

Father.

Father.

>> What is it?

>> Major Kurt just arrested Nikai because

he thinks that he's the catamount.

That's ridiculous.

What are we going to do?

>> There's nothing we can do.

>> You would let them execute an innocent

boy. I hold no sway with those soldiers.

They wouldn't listen to a word I say.

>> Is all you care about the past? About

people that have been dead for

centuries? Father, the Anastasia are

gone. You cannot bring them back. But

Nikai, he's here now.

>> But not for long. Soon his people will

be as completely gone as the Anosasi.

The relics we collect will be the only

record that they ever existed. The work

we do is terribly precious.

Life is precious. Father,

>> it's not just a bunch of bones and

shards and jewelry.

>> Elizabeth,

>> if you won't help me, maybe Mr. Lazarus

will.

>> Lazarus? He comes from nowhere. He

avoids any question asked him.

>> I say he killed Dupe to get the loot

those thieves stole from these ruins.

>> I have to try and help Nikai.

Isabelle.

Are you all right? Did they hurt you?

>> Miss Wuwire,

step away from the murderer.

>> Major Kurt, I insist.

>> I insist you step away from the

prisoner.

>> How can you do this? You know that he's

innocent.

>> Miss, I have handled these things

before. While everyone was preoccupied

with the war, I've had to protect the

country from the atrocities of these

univilized people.

You and your father do your work and

allow me to do mine with the assurance

that you will not be murdered in your

sleep.

Well, what do we have here?

It would be a mistake to hang the boy,

>> would it?

>> Turn the boy over to us. If you refuse,

you have only yourself to blame for what

follows.

>> The Kai will be executed and the murders

will stop. There will be no further

problems. Do you understand?

>> Ready.

>> For the moment you're released on your

own recgnissance,

as I said, there will be no more

problems.

Leave this town.

Major Kurt,

>> you understand the bloodletting you

could be responsible for?

>> Mr. Lazarus, I have warned you once.

Interfere with justice and the

consequences could be dire.

>> Give me a chance to bring in the real

Catamount.

>> The boy dies in 24 hours. What you do

with that time is your choice.

If I don't find that cougar, the young

man dies.

>> Then find a cougar. The mountains are

full of them.

>> Some say the catamount is you.

[laughter]

>> Then shoot me. I'm easier to kill than a

cat.

>> Please, can you help me?

>> Go back to the place where you killed

the man, Dupe. Near. There is a cave.

You will find it there.

>> And then what? I'm not a hunter. I mean,

I don't even know if I've ever

>> Is better to know who you are now

>> than who you were.

>> I felt drawn to this place somehow.

>> Maybe it's because of your confusion. I

don't know. There are few white men who

have an open heart for my people.

I knew Nikai would need you.

Heat. Heat. [music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> The captain gave the damn orders to kill

the engines. Who do you think?

Wow.

Wow.

>> [music]

[music]

[snorts]

>> ready to detail. Lieutenant

Fire

right

forward.

Come on.

Hulk

right face.

>> Detail ready, sir.

You may proceed, Lieutenant. Uh,

>> yes, sir.

>> Ready.

>> Stop.

>> COVER.

>> I've got your damn catamount.

It was Professor Wickwire.

>> Hello. I'm sorry. I had no choice. He

attacked me.

I have to do this.

>> None of them are innocent. Believe me.

>> All those men are dead because of you.

You provoked all of us.

>> I DIDN'T KILL THOSE MEN.

>> NO, BUT YOUR GREED DID.

I found these

in a cave in the mountains.

There's a hoorde of artifacts stockpiled

there that Dupe and his friends were

collecting. Most of it was packed for

shipment and army weapons cases. Major

Kurt has made it amply clear that no one

in this outpost does anything except at

his command. He knows he can make a

fortune with these relics back east.

>> It is not against the law to take those

things.

>> Not white men's laws.

You release the boy now or so help me

God. I'll kill you before your troops

can stop me.

>> Lieutenant, release the boy.

Whoa.

Will you be all right here by yourself?

>> Yeah, my sister will be waiting for me

in Chicago.

Where will you go?

I don't know somewhere

till I found what I'm looking for.

>> With the grace of God, Mr. Lazarus.

>> By the grace of God, Miss McGuire.

Leave that junk that isn't created.

>> If you want to make the railroad by

tomorrow, you better get a move on.

>> Yes, sir.

[music]

You know, you could whistle or something

when you come upon a fella.

>> But that fear opens a man's heart.

>> Yeah. Well,

did you know Wickwire was a killer?

>> Let us say that the spirit that protects

these ruins entered him, used him. Now

he's gone. It will find another way. We

use what we can to endure.

as you use me

>> to save Nikai. I have no power over the

soldiers once they had him in their

possession. I went to see Major Kurt to

talk to him. I asked him why he was

going to kill an innocent boy.

He said he was doing it for

civilization.

>> I concede the commands I gave were hard

to give, resultant killings repugnant.

But what I did, I did for civilization.

>> Kurt? It was Kurt.

>> What will you do?

>> I must confront him.

>> Why?

>> Maybe I can settle some things about

myself in the process.

>> Will you kill him?

>> He was never punished, never brought to

justice.

>> Sometimes justice has a way of bringing

itself to the man.

You want this surf

up.

Wow.

>> [groaning]

[screaming]

>> What are you doing?

Whatever life I once lived, courageous

or tainted with villain, I'm now reduced

to chasing phantoms in the dark.
