Pacer says hes no hunter.

Tie up the horses.

-What is it, Sam?

-Not sure yet.

He looked like he was trying

to figure something out.

Nobody said anything about trouble

at the party the other night.

No, sir.

A lot of things can happen

in three days.

Neddy, last time you saw your sister,

you hear anything?

No, it was just about like always.

Didnt you think so, Pacer?

lf trouble starts, wholl hit us

first, your folks or Mas?

Shame on you, Clint. lts more likely

neither will bother us.

That aint been my experience

about people in the middle.

Maybe its the new chief.

-What new chief?

-The Kiowas got a new chief.

-Since when?

-Maybe a month.

-What about old Lame Crow?

-Hes the old man of the tribe now.

-How long you known this?

-Since it happened.

-Dont you ever tell anybody anything?

-Not if they dont ask.

Sometimes l think youre

more than half lndian.

-He told me.

-Maybe youre the other half.

Maybe your ma was lndian too

and didnt let me know it.

One horse.

-Are you my brother beyond the wall?

-y es.

Then why light go out

when friend come in peace?

Why does a friend who comes in peace

wait until the sun is gone?

Warrior ride when stars are alive.
