WELL, WHAT IS THAT? A NEW HAIRDO?

[BOTH LAUGHING] I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE WORN

MY HAT.

WELL, MAYBE WE'D BETTER RIDE BACK AND GET IT, HUH?

NO, NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

PA! PA!

PA! PA! LOU! WAIT!

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR HAT GAVE MARK A GOOD EXCUSE TO

POSTPONE HIS CHORES.

JUST THE SAME, IT'S STILL A NICE THOUGHT.

MARK?!

ARE YOU HURT, SON?

I DON'T THINK SO.

ARE YOU SURE?

YEAH.

COME ON.

I'M ALL RIGHT, PA.

YOU ARE HURT, SON-- WHERE?

NO, I'M NOT HURT, PA.

IT'S MY LEGS, I CAN'T MOVE 'EM.

FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE ANY...

LIKE AS IF I DON'T HAVE ANY LEGS AT ALL.

DOC, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IF HIS BACK IS NOT HURT, AND THERE IS NO OTHER PHYSICAL

INJURY, WHY CAN'T HE MOVE HIS LEGS?

BEING THROWN THIS MORNING PUT THE NERVE THAT CONTROL HIS

LEGS IN A KIND OF SPASM.

THEY'RE PARALYZED UNTIL THAT NERVE RELAXES.

WELL, HOW LONG IS THAT GONNA BE?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW, LUCAS.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW-- YOU'RE A DOCTOR!

I DON'T KNOW.

THERE IS NO SURE CURE FOR THIS KIND OF AN INJURY.

MINERAL BATHS ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENT I EVER

HEARD OF.

MINERAL BATHS.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT ABOUT MISSION SPRINGS?

THEY'VE GOT HOT MINERAL BATHS.

MISSION SPRINGS?

YEAH, THAT OLD BURNED DOWN MISSION, DOWN NEAR THE MEXICAN

BORDER.

I DON'T KNOW, LUCAS, THAT'S DANGEROUS COUNTRY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?

THERE'S MINERAL BATHS THERE.

WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY HELP MARK?

WELL, IT MIGHT, LUCAS.

IT MIGHT.

I'LL GET THE BUCKBOARD READY.

LOU, WILL YOU HELP ME GET MARK READY?

MM-HMM, AND I'M GOIN' WITH YA.

YEAH, I FIGURED YOU WOULD.

WARM ENOUGH, SON?

YEAH.

TIRED, HUH?

NOT VERY.

SURE IS A LONG TRIP THOUGH.

WELL, THE ROUGHEST PART OF THE TRIP IS OVER.

WE OUGHT TO BE THERE TOMORROW.

FINE.

[SPRINGS BUBBLING] FEEL ANYTHING YET, SON?

NO.

TRY TO MOVE YOUR TOES.

DOC SAID THEY'D PROBABLY RESPOND FIRST.

GO ON, SON, GO ON.

I JUST CAN'T, PA.

THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST TREATMENT, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE

LOTS OF PATIENCE.

I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT, LOU.

WELL, LET'S KEEP TRYING.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?

I'M NOT SURE, BUT I BETTER PLAY IT SAFE.

GET HIM MOVING.

WE DON'T NEED HIM ANYMORE.

LET ME SHOOT HIM.

LATER.

SPRINGS AIN'T FAR.

[HOSTAGE COUGHS] WHAT IS IT?

3 ARMED CONVICTS WITH A PRISON GUARD FOR A HOSTAGE.

CONVICTS? COMING HERE?

THEY HAVE TO WATER.

THEY PROBABLY ESCAPED FROM YUMA PRISON.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

THERE'S NO COVER AROUND HERE, EXCEPT FOR THOSE TREES

DOWN THERE.

I GUESS OUR BEST BET IS TO STAY DOWN THERE OUT OF SIGHT

'TIL THEY LEAVE.

LET'S GET READY.

[HORSE GRUNTS] HURRY, LUCAS.

WE'LL CAMP HERE 'TIL MORNIN'.

[WIND WHISTLING] WHEN WE GET ACROSS THE

BORDER, I'M GONNA GET ME ONE OF THEM LITTLE MEXICAN GIRLS.

THE KIND THAT FIGHT.

YEAH.

ME, I'M GON' EAT.

CHILI AND BEANS, TORTILLAS...

ANYTHING THAT DON'T COME OUT OF A YUMA SLOP PAIL.

I WISH WE HAD SOME FOOD NOW.

BUT WE AIN'T, AND YOU CAN SHUT UP!

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

HUH! NEVER COULD FIGURE HIM.

A PURDY LITTLE MEXICAN GAL...

ONE THAT FIGHTS.

YOU SORE ABOUT SOMETHING?

IT'S THIS PLACE.

KIND OF LIKE A CHURCH.

GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

CHURCHES DON'T BOTHER ME NONE.

NO...

DON'T RECKON THEY WOULD.

HE'S STILL PASSED OUT.

HE'S NOT AS TOUGH AS WE WERE.

USED TO TAKE 50 LASHES TO BLACK YOU OUT.

AN' THEN HE'D GIVE ME A COUPLE MORE LICKS FOR GOOD

MEASURE.

HE WAS A BIG MAN WITH THAT WHIP IN HIS HAND.

YEAH.

WELL, WE GOT A LONG RIDE TOMORROW.

BETTER GET SOME SLEEP.

FEELIN' BETTER?

YEAH, A LITTLE.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH] HOW IS HE?

SHIVERIN' 'TIL HIS TEETH CHATTER.

OH, HE CAN'T STAY THAT WAY.

HE'S GOTTA HAVE MORE THAN BLANKETS.

HE NEEDS A FIRE AND SOME WARM FOOD INSIDE HIM.

I KNOW.

IT COULD BE FREEZIN' UP HERE SOON.

I KNOW THAT TOO, LOU.

THOSE BRICKS NEED TO BE HEATED, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE

A FIRE!

NO, THEY'D SPOT IT.

MAYBE AFTER THEY'VE EATEN, THEY'LL GO AWAY.

I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY FOOD.

WE COULD OFFER THEM SOME.

MAKE THEM A DEAL.

LOU, CONVICTS DON'T LEAVE WITNESSES TO POINT THEIR BACK

TRAIL.

[SNORING] [COUGHING]

HEY!

TRYING TO GET AWAY, UH?

WE AIN'T THROUGH WITH YOU YET.

[HOSTAGE GROANS IN PAIN] KILL HIM, KILL HIM.

GIVE IT TO HIM.

NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT YUMA FEELS LIKE.

HOW IT FEELS TO CHOKE ON YOUR OWN BREATH!

[HOSTAGE GROANS IN PAIN] WHAT IS IT?

IT'S ASHES...

WARM ASHES.

SOMEBODY WAS CAMPING HERE, JUST 2 OR 3 HOURS AGO.

SOMEBODY WHO DON'T WANT US TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

LOOK THERE, FRESH WAGON TRACKS.

THERE AIN'T MANY OF 'EM, OR THEY WOULDN'T BE HIDING.

WHERE THERE IS A CAMP, THERE'S USUALLY FOOD.

GET RID OF HIM.

COME ON, COME ON.

Lucas: DO YOU HEAR ME, SON?

DO YOU HEAR ME, MARK?

YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, MARK.

YOU'VE GOTTA STAY AWAKE.

IF YOU DON'T, YOU'LL FREEZE.

MARK!

MARK!

I'M SORRY, SON, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO STAY AWAKE TO STAY ALIVE.

DO YOU HEAR ME, MARK?

FORCE YOURSELF, SON, FORCE YOURSELF!

I'LL TRY.

LOU, GET SOME FOOD INTO HIM, AT LEAST IT'LL KEEP HIS INSIDES

WARM.

I'LL OPEN SOME BEANS.

MARK, SON, STAY AWAKE.

STAY AWAKE, SON.

[HISSES] MARK, STAY AWAKE!

YOU STAY AWAKE, REMEMBER.

I WILL.

THERE HE IS!

HE'S UP THERE.

JUST IN CASE HE AIN'T ALONE, WE'LL COME AT HIM FROM 3 SIDES.

DOVE, YOU CIRCLE AROUND THE LEFT.

SMILEY, THE OTHER WAY.

I'LL KEEP HIM BUSY FROM THE FRONT.

[GUNSHOT] FOOD'S GONNA COME HIGH

THIS YEAR.

HE'S TOO GOOD WITH THAT RIFLE.

WE GOTTA FIGURE SOME OTHER WAY TO TAKE HIM.

HOW?

UH, LET ME THINK.

BEFORE MORNING, TEMPERATURE WILL DROP BELOW ZERO.

HE CAN'T LIGHT A FIRE 'CAUSE WE'D SEE HIM.

ALL WE GOTTA DO IS WAIT TILL HE FREEZES, THEN JUST WALK IN.

YOU ALL RIGHT, DOVE?

YEAH, YOU TWO GET SOME SLEEP.

I OWE HIM SOMETHIN'.

ALL RIGHT, SMILEY AND ME WILL SPELL YOU AFTER A WHILE.

[GUN COCKING] [GUNSHOT]

SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG.

[WIND WHISTLING] ARE THEY COMIN'?

NO, THEY'RE STILL SITTING DOWN THERE, WAITING FOR US TO

FREEZE TO DEATH.

IT'LL BE MORNIN' SOON AND IT'LL BE WARMER.

LOU, MARK CAN'T LAST 'TIL MORNING, AND MY HANDS ARE

GETTING SO STIFF, I CAN'T FIRE A GUN.

NOW, LOOK, I WANT YOU TO TAKE THE BUCKBOARD AND MAKE A DASH

FOR IT WHILE I DRAW THEIR FIRE.

NO... NO WAY!

I DON'T WANT MARK TO HEAR THIS.

I WON'T LEAVE YOU.

LOU, THERE IS NO CHANCE IN THE WORLD FOR ALL 3 OF US TO

GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE.

THEN, NONE OF US WILL.

I WON'T GO WITHOUT YOU.

LOU, LISTEN TO ME.

I WANT LIFE FOR MY SON.

YOU'VE GOTTA HELP ME GIVE IT TO HIM.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN.

LOU, PLEASE, PLEASE.

THERE AIN'T BEEN A SOUND OUT THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR.

COME ON.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, LOU, YOU KEEP GOING.

HE'S TOO FROZE TO FIGHT.

WELL, THERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

[GUN COCKING] Lou: YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A

LITTLE GIRL, MY BROTHERS USED TO TAKE ME TO THEIR FAVORITE

FISHING PLACE, NEAR BALLYKENEALLY.

THERE WAS A LITTLE POOL NEARBY, VERY MUCH LIKE THIS ONE,

AN' SURROUNDED BY HUGE TREES.

I USED TO CLIMB WAY HIGH UP IN THE BRANCHES.

LIKE SOMETIMES I CLIMBED SO HIGH I BECOME AFRAID, MY BROTHERS'D

HAVE TO COME GET ME DOWN.

WELL, I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CLIMBING ANY MORE TREES.

MARK, DON'T TALK THAT WAY.

[KINDLING CLATTERING] HOW IS HE?

THE SAME.

I THINK HE'S LOSING ALL HOPE.

GO TALK TO HIM, LUCAS.

[SIGHS] YOU KNOW, SON, THEY SAY

THEY'VE GOT MISSIONS LIKE THIS ALL OVER CALIFORNIA.

FROM THE NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE CLEAR DOWN TO THE

MEXICAN BORDER.

SOMEDAY MAYBE YOU AND I CAN-- PA...

IT'S NO GOOD.

I CAN'T WALK.

I CAN'T WALK!

NOW, YOU STOP THAT AN' YOU LISTEN!

YOU ARE GONNA WALK, IT MAY TAKE A LONG TIME, BUT YOU ARE GONNA

WALK, SON.

NOW, I KNOW YOU'RE FRIGHTENED, BUT WE'RE GONNA SEE THIS

THROUGH.

ALL 3 OF US.

JUST GOTTA HAVE A LITTLE FAITH.

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH I BATHE YOU IN THESE SPRINGS, OR

HOW MUCH I RUB YOUR LEGS WITH MY HANDS.

IT'S GONNA BE UP TO YOU IN THE LONG RUN.

YOU'VE GOTTA BELIEVE THAT AND YOU'RE GONNA TRY.

YOU'RE GONNA KEEP BELIEVING, YOU'RE GONNA KEEP TRYING,

BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO ANY MORE THAN THIS BECAUSE IT'S

GONNA BE UP TO YOU, MARK!

WHAT IS IT?

PA, I... I THINK I CAN...

MOVE MY TOES, BUT...

BUT MY LEGS, THEY FEEL FUNNY.

THEY HURT, PA.

YOUR LEGS HURT?

STAND UP, SON.

MARK, STAND UP!

COME.

COME ON, SON.

COME ON, SON...

COME ON.

I CAN WALK.

I CAN WALK, PA.
