These are mean men we're after.

They're real mean.

-For the gorge you must turn off here.|-You still like that idea?

-Yes. We told Taylor we'd wait there.|-We'd move faster on the desert.

That's where they'll be lookin' for us.

If we keep movin',|we can reach the border in two days.

In the desert we can only ride at night.|Two days and we'll burn up.

-She won't last a day.|-Why do we need her?

I need her. We'll head for the gorge and hole|up there till they stop searchin'. Lead, Lujn.

-What do you think, Mr Douglass?|-Sun's goin' down.

That's what he waited for.|We can't track 'em by night.

-Let's move ahead as long as we can see.|-Everybody, get mounted!

Somebody build a fire. Start up some coffee.

Can't we go on? Just you and me?

-Be like lookin' for a needle in a haystack.|-Yeah, but I'm worried about Emma.

Suppose we were lucky enough|to stumble across 'em.

You don't think they'd give up|without a fight?

-She'd be the first they'd kill.|-Here is one of them! Here he is!

Come on, all of you!

Come here, all of you! Help!

I found one of them!

There he is. See? Must be one of them.

This is not one of them.

That must be the real Mr Simms.

-Got a timepiece?|-No, sir.

Here.

Take mine.

You go back to the rim of the gorge.

-Then fire a shot every five minutes.|-But what good will that do?

Sound carries a long way|in these canyons. They'll hear it.

Make 'em wonder. Keep 'em up all night.

Take their minds off Emma.

One of us will relieve him every hour.

Keep it up all night.

You take turns standing watch.

I'll look after the horses.

I'll take the last tour. You'll take the first.

I'll take the first watch. Can't sleep anyway.

-Taylor.|-Yeah?

When we get out of this,|you wanna stick with me or split up?

-Well, I haven't given it much thought.|-I have.

You're a good man, Taylor.|I should hate to lose you.

Well, I sort of like havin'|a man behind me I can count on.

That Parral's a louse.

The Injun makes me nervous.|Never know what's goin' on inside his head.

-I never crossed a man that rode with me.|-Well, neither did I.

I need you with me.

That goes double.

I got one weakness|I feel you should know about.

What's that?

Women.

Every man's entitled|to one weakness. Mine's cards.

You think Lujn|needs some help with the horses?

Well now, he just might.

Is that silk?

Where'd that come from?

-Where'd that shot come from?|-It's an old trick. They wanna keep us awake.

Get back on watch.

Go to sleep. You never hear|the shot that kills you.

Well, they were here all right.|Not too long ago.

Looks like those shots of ours|changed their path.

Tracks show they went down the gorge.

Yeah.

Could be the Indian's thinking,|to throw us off.
