There she is.
How'd you know
she's got any money?
Just do what I told you
and meet me in Little Yo.
I'll get the purse.
No. You bump her.
No, I'll get
the purse.
No, you took
the purse last time.
Rat.
(YELLING)
I told you once!
Now get the hell
out of here.

Oh! Hey!

How come

REPORTER: Guys, are you
sure you're getting the
body behind me in the shot?
Get 'em the fuck
outta here!
TINA: You're gonna
have to move.
Look, people, you gotta
clear out of here.
(SAXOPHONE PLAYING

(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Up the stairs
and to the right,
Lieutenant.
MAN: Stop playin'
the damn thing!
Tina! Come see
what the cat dragged in.
I want that body
off the street.
Yeah, okay.
Wait till you see
the meat inside.
(CHUCKLES)
Spank me!
Some setup, huh?
Belonged to the gal
that blew her brains out.
Judy Cavallo. 29.
A couple of priors.
Soliciting, nothing heavy.
The guy at the desk says
she's been working up here
for about eight months.
Plush.
Yeah. I figure
somebody had to
set her up in business.
Maybe Jim Dandy
over here.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
COOPER: She cut him up
before she popped
his noggin.
Uh, Cain,
what's the matter?
You losing your appetite
for this kind a shit?
Positive it's Harper?
TINA:
ID was in his wallet.
Mr. Religion himself.
Wonder what the
faithful flock's gonna think
about this little episode?
Can we get him
out of here?
TINA: Yeah.
We're done here.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(WIND CHIMES TINKLING)
I'm hungry.
Wanna grab a little sushi?
I mean, we're down here.
No. I got somethin'
I'm working on.
Okay. See you later.
Yeah.
See you, manana.
Goodnight, Tina...
(POLICE SIREN WAILING)
Hey, man.
What you doin' here
all by yourself, honey?
Beat it.
If you're lost,
maybe I can help you
find your way home?
I'm not interested.
Maybe this'll
change your mind?
(SIGHS)
Put it away, Cayla,
before I run you in.
Okay.
But I'm saving
a special piece
for you, baby.
One of these days
you ain't gonna
be able to resist.
Why don't you go on home
and get out of the rain?
Okay.
But remember,
any time, any place.
(MAN LAUGHING)
DETECTIVE:
Good morning, Cain.
MAN: Yeah, no, no, no...
BADER: Every goddamn
female reporter in LA
can tickle your balls
and you sing like
a fuckin' nightingale!
I'm tellin' you to
keep your mouth shut!
If I hear you leaked
to the press again
I'll bust you back to
the goddamn street!
You wanted to see me?
What the hell happened
with the Ellis case?
What do you mean?
I mean I got a fucking
assistant D.A. kickin' my ass
because he lost the case.
He says you fucked it up
so bad Ellis walked.
Hmm...
We got our wires crossed.
No, you got your
wires crossed!
No probably cause.
Sloppy arrest.
What the hell
are you doing
out there?
Damn, I expect it from
the rest of these boneheads
but not you, John.
Bobby's, uh,
Bobby's screwing
some other guy.
She's leavin' me.
Oh, shit.
Why?
I don't know... Why what?
I mean, why's she screwing
the guy or why's she leaving?
Well, they usually
go hand in hand.
(SIGHS)
She doesn't know me anymore.
Well, maybe
that's her problem.
No, she's right.
I wake up in the morning
and I don't know
where to start.
I go to bed at night
and nothing I've done
makes any sense.
And I'm scared.
I'm really scared.
What, do you wanna see
a department shrink?
No.
I think it's time to quit.
I just...
I gotta have
some time alone.
I got a better idea.
Here. Pick up Geronimo.
He's that Indian that
killed those two women
out at the beach.
The, uh, tribal police
ran him down on the
reservation for us.
Now you
let Tina and Cooper
handle the Harper case
and you get out of here
for a few days.
Open spaces.
It'll be good for you.
Put some distance
between you
and all this shit.
And if it's still a problem
when you get back,
then we'll deal with it.
Okay?
Aren't we gonna
talk about this?
You don't get it
do you, John?
Nothin' left
to even talk about.
You're gonna leave
just like that?
You think this is
just happening now?
Suddenly you wanna
talk things out?
It doesn't work like that.
I wanted to talk
for months.
For years.
You were never home.
And when you were home
you wouldn't talk.
So we just pretended
to love each other.
(HORN HONKS)
I'm tired of pretending.
(HORN BLARING)
I still love you, Bobby.
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
MAN ON RADIO:
Well, prepare yourselves
for another 20 minutes
of commercial-free blues
coming to you from
the Power Desert Station
right here in Phoenix.
(VOICES WHISPERING)
BOBBY: So we just
pretended to love each other.
I'm tired of pretending.
BADER:
What the hell are you
doin' out here?
COOPER:
What's the matter, Cain?
You lost your appetite
for this?
CAIN:
I don't wanna know...
BOBBY:
I don't know you anymore...
BADER: You wanna see
a department shrink?
BOBBY: Now?
CAIN: I really
don't care anymore.
BOBBY: I think
I finally figured out what
this teacher expects from us.
CAIN:
Was that before or after
you started fuckin' him?
BOBBY:
You followed me!
(TRUCK HORN BLARING)
(SIGHS)
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
What kinda beer you got?
Sorry, no alcohol
in the reservation.
Okay. Coffee black.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Thanks.
You must be Mr. Cain.
Yes, ma'am.
Totsoni said to expect you.
He ain't gonna be able
to meet you tonight.
But he'll be up
at his office
tomorrow at 9:00.
It's just a few miles
up the road.
My name's Hattie Moore.
And this here's my husband.
Percival John,
but, uh, folks around
here call me P.J.
Good to make
your acquaintance.
Quite a place
you got here.
Well, thank you.
Ol' man Phipps he bought
this place in '22.
He was the first trader.
We bought the place
from him in 1961,
day we got married.
That's a long time.
Place kinda grows on you.
Why don't you go on up
and get Mr. Cain's room
fixed up while I feed him?
You bet.
I meant
it was a long time
to be married.
What can I get you to eat?
What's good?
Stew and fry bread.
Okay.
Hey.
Are you the fella
that come to arrest
Coyote Man?
Yeah, I am.
Too bad...
for you.
(CHILDREN GIGGLING)
I'm sorry I'm late,
Mr. Cain.
I'm Frank Totsoni.
This is Daniel Nez.
I've been waitin' here
for over an hour.
Well, I was down near
the Little Colorado.
Your girl says
the prisoner's not here.
That's right.
He's up in Shonto.
They're bringing him
down right now.
Why didn't
I just go up there
in the first place?
Because I decided
to do it this way.
Have a seat,
Mr. Cain.
We can't prove it
but we think
he's responsible
for three killings
on the reservation.
One of his victims was
half-skinned alive.
People around here are
scared of Nakai Twobear.
He kills for power.
Nobody in Tuba City
wanted him around.
So we kept him in Shonto.
What is this guy?
The Boogie Man?
In a way.
They're here.
Put him in the back
of the Chevy.
I need you to sign
this release for me.
These are his things.
What the fuck are
you smiling about?
I see what you mean.
He looks like he could
skin somebody alive.
Do yourself a favor.
Don't give him an inch.
Thanks.
Sure glad it ain't me
drivin' him back.
Did you see the way
Twobear looked at him?
I know.

Looks like he's
in real trouble.
BOBBY:
John, can you hear me?
MAN: Cain. Buddy.
No. He needs help.
BOBBY:
Somebody's gotta help him.
MAN: Yes.
BOBBY:
He can't hear us.
MAN: No. John, you...
He's lost
a lot of blood.
BOBBY:
John, it's me.
MAN:
Don't worry.
BOBBY:
Is he all right?
MAN: No, he's in
real trouble.
BOBBY:
I don't know.
MAN:
Hey, buddy. It's me...
I think he's waking up.
(WOMAN SPEAKING OVER PA)
Welcome back,
Mr. Cain.
What happened?
You had an accident.
You've been out
for quite a while.
We were starting
to get worried about you.
How are you feeling?
Like somebody
just kicked my ass
from here to Detroit.
(LAUGHS)
That's a good analogy.
Now follow my finger.
Any numbness
in your arms or legs?
No.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Let's see
if you can sit up.
Dizzy?
No. My head feels like
it's gonna explode.
You experienced
a bad impact trauma.
But the X-rays
don't show
any fractures.
And I put a couple
of stitches in.
I'd say you were
pretty lucky.
Twobear?
A couple of Hopis
spotted the wreck.
By the time
they reported it
and we got there,
Twobear was long gone.
My gun?
Everything you had
on you is gone.
(SIGHS)
What happened?
Oh, I...
I can't remember.
Something...
It was like something
in the road...
I can't remember.
Frank.
Yeah?
His boss is on
the phone again.
TOTSONI: Have 'em put it
through in here.
NEZ: All right.
Your Captain's been
calling all afternoon.
Have you told him
what happened?
I had to.
Great.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hi, Jake.
Had me sweatin' bullets
there for a while, Cain.
Good thing it was your head,
where the least amount
of damage could be done.
Jake, I'm sorry about
this mess. I don't know
how it happened but...
I'll take care of it.
I'll go after him.
BADER:
Maybe you were right.
It was stupid of me
to send you up there
when all this
other shit happened
to you.
I just think it's better
if I send somebody else.
He's got my gun
and my shield, Jake.
Please let me do this. Please.
BADER: I don't know.
Let me talk to the doctor.
He wants to talk to you.
Yes, sir.
BADER: How bad is he?
He seems to be all right
but I'd like to keep
an eye on him over night.
You sure?
Yes.
Put him back on.
CAIN: Uh-huh.
It's against my better
judgment so be careful.
All right?
Yeah. Thanks, Jake.
So, tomorrow
you give me a clean
bill of health
and we'll start looking
for this son of a bitch.
One thing.
This is the reservation.
We do things our own way.
That shouldn't be a problem.
I hope not.
Goodnight, Mr. Cain.
Could we drop the "mister"?
People just call me Cain.
(GROANS)
(VOICES WHISPERING)
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
What are you
doing out there?
Hattie.
Hattie, you should see
the ring around the moon.
If you'd stop daydreaming
and get them floors done,
we could get to bed.
(LAUGHS)
Well, now girl,
that's about the best idea
you've had all day!
Good god, old man!
What've you been smokin'?
Now stop it, I said,
and I mean it.
All right!
Finish them floors.
Then we'll see.
(WIND CHIMES TINKLING)
Who the hell's that?
(DISTANT HOWLS)
HATTIE: What is it?
I don't see nobody
out here.
Jesse!
(WHISTLING)
Jesse!
Jesse, dog.
Come here, boy.
(WIND CHIMES TINKLING)
Where'd you come from?
(GRUNTS)
P.J.?
No!
(GROANS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GUN FIRING)
Sheepherder found P.J.'s
jeep abandoned up
near Navajo Mountain.
CAIN: Are you sure
it was Twobear?
The old man
at the trading post
identified him.
Is he gonna make it?
He died about
an hour ago.
It must have happened
a little before midnight.
He stabbed P.J.
and shot his wife.
Nine millimeter.
The one he took
from me was a nine.
(GRUMBLES UNINTELLIGIBLY)
(HORSE NEIGHING)
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
MAN: Oh!
How're you feeling,
Mr. Cain?
Better.
What's all this?
TOTSONI:
This is as far as
you can get a vehicle.
We'll have to go in
after him on horses.
You're kiddin'.
You sure you're up to this?
You don't have to, you know.
We can handle it.
No. No.
No, I wanna do it.
Ray Whitesinger
will track for us.
Ray's the best
on the reservation.
How much head start's he got?
He's been in foot
at least six hours.
Does he know the area?
Like the back of
his hand. He was born
and raised out here.
One of Moore's rifles
is missing
from his gun case.
A lot of ammo too.
So he's got plenty
of fire power.
Shit.
He's got a sweet tooth.
TOTSONI: Cain,
this is Ray Whitesinger.
The only things
he's packing are
guns, candy and jerky.
There was a beefy smell
in the car
when we opened it.
He's traveling light.
You can tell by
the tracks he left.
Which way is he headed?
North,
into Horse Canyon.
He left a good false trail
towards Chaiyahi Flats.
I almost fell for it.
CAIN: Maybe it's not
a false trail.
If I wanted to make some
fast time I'd use the flats,
not that canyon.
Well, we're not
tracking you,
are we, Mr. Cain?
Look, if we're
gonna be partners...
First of all,
I'm not your partner.
And second,
I know Nakai Twobear.
I'm the one that tracked him
so you could let him go.
Ray...
From the looks of it
I'd say your butt's
never been on a horse
and you're in the middle
of 10,000 square miles
of badlands
and you don't know
which way's up.
So why don't you sit back
and let me do my job.
You might learn something.
All right, this isn't LA
and I've only been
on horse a few times.
I've tracked a man before.
Not out here you haven't.
You'll need this.
(EAGLE SCREAMING)
He's cross-tracking.
We'll split up.
You and Begay drop down into
the canyon and double back.
The rest of us
will follow this track.
We'll meet up
at Sleeping Springs.
We're on his trail,
why split up?
A trail isn't just
a series of tracks.
It's an animal's ways.
For the last two miles he's
been cross-tracking between
the canyon and the rim.
If he's in the canyon,
Totsoni and the others
will flush him out.
Go easy on the water,
Mr. Cain.
Look, why don't
we bury the hatchet?
Bad choice of words.
If I were you,
I wouldn't push my luck.
Here.
You better take these.
It gets pretty cold
at night here.
Are these things clean?
Yeah. Only wore
'em twice.
(CLICKS TONGUE)
It's about 12:30.
He was here just
a few hours ago.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
(EAGLE SCREAMS)
What is it?
Nothin'.
Can you tell me
how to get rid
of this pain?
My butt feels like
a piece of raw meat.
Quit fighting your horse.
You're not moving with it.
I watched you
all day.
You're really good
at this tracking.
Where'd you learn it?
My father was a tracker.
Was?
He was drunk
when he tracked a killer
into Chaco hills.
The killer ambushed him.
(SIGHS)
Totsoni tells me you have
a degree in criminology.
Does that surprise you?
No.
My father never liked
the idea of me
going to college.
He thought
all the reading would
ruin my eyes for tracking.
Begay says there's
a Listening Woman who lives
about a mile up the canyon.
I think we should talk
to her in the morning.
It's worth a try.
We'll take a watch
in one hour shifts.
Nez'll take the first one.
Sleep well,
Mr. Cain.
You too.
You married, Totsoni?
No.
She'd be a handful.
She's already married.
Maybe there's something
else you should know.
Nakai Twobear
killed Ray's father.

(EAGLE SCREAMS)
(GASPS)
(PANTING)
You okay?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
(GOAT BLEATING IN DISTANCE)
CAIN: Why do you call her
a Listening Woman?
TOTSONI: She has a gift
for telling people
what makes them ill.
By listening to nature.
CAIN: She's pretty old to
be out here by herself.
Her husband was
a medicine man.
When a medicine man
dies they burn his hogan
and everything in it.
His wife is forced
to leave her clan
and make her own way.
Friendly custom.
Navajo fear the dead
more than anything else.
(GOAT BLEATING)
What did she say?
RAY:
She didn't see anyone.
But she felt the presence
of a Coyote Man
pass by here yesterday.
That's what a guy
called him in Tuba City.
What's a Coyote Man?
It's like what
you call a witch
or a sorcerer.
We call 'em Coyote Men.
Skin-walkers.
(SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE)
What's that all about?
Nothing.
Let's get goin'.
You take the canyon.
We'll pick up where his rim
track faded into the water.
What if he heads out
over the high grass?
RAY: He won't.
It's too wide open
on the flatlands.
Look, I don't wanna
start anything again but
what if Totsoni's right?
I'm thinking about
what I would do
if I were in his shoes.
Maybe he's playin'
the same game.
If we don't run him down
by sunset we'll meet
at the Abajo.
Begay, you know
where it is?
Yeah.
CAIN:
I hope you're right.
If I'm not I'm sure you'll be
the first to let me know.
RAY: The Listening Woman
talked about a skin-walker
living in some Anasazi ruins
near Spider Rock.
There's no ruins
by Spider Rock.
She probably
meant Betatakin.
But that's 20 miles
east of here.
What do skin-walkers do?
Navajos don't like to talk
about skin-walkers much.
They dig up corpses
and eat the flesh.
Some of 'em can
change into animals.
But most of all they like
to find a rope of sand
an' walk inside 'em.
CAIN:
What's the rope of sand?
It's someone who is weak
but was strong before.
Someone who's life
is out of harmony.
Totsoni said Twobear
killed for power.
What did he mean
by that?
Skin-walkers kill
animals or the people.
The strength gives them
the power to make
ghost sickness.
Spread out in the wash
and look for tracks.
(VOICES WHISPERING)
TOTSONI: It's like what you
call a witch or a sorcerer.
Skin-walkers.
(GRUNTING)
P.J.!
(NEIGHING)
Nez, tell me about
ghost sickness.
My grandfather
knew a man
down by Many Farms.
A skin-walker
got inside him,
he ended up killin'
his wife and four kids.
Then he took a millstone and
cracked his own head open.
How's it work?
How's he make 'em sick?
They all got
a special bone bead.
Just like this,
only made from
the bone of a corpse.
Somehow they find a way
to get it under your skin
and then they've got you.
They walk inside your dreams
till you get so weak
you can't fight 'em.
Then they suck out
the bone bead
and take your soul.
You better ride
to the Abajo.
He's headed out
across the high grass.
It's two hours to the Abajo.
It'll be dark
by the time I get there.
You could camp out
there tonight and pick up
our trail in the morning.
I'll make it
easy for you.
If you ride hard
you can catch us
by late afternoon.
What if you two
run him down
before we catch up?
We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it.
Whoa! Whoa!
Aren't you gonna say
I told you so?
I'm not here to
fight with you.
Hell, I fucked up
and let him get away
in the first place.
I just wanna find
the son of a bitch.
CAIN: God, it's beautiful.
Come on.
CAIN: It's strange.
RAY: What's that?
The silence.
God, it's quiet
out here.
That's what I always
hated about the city.
The constant noise.
When we
were first married,
my wife and I
used to go
to this cabin
in the mountains.
It was quiet there too.
I mean not like this but
a lot better
than the city.
It was
her favorite place.
Well, maybe
when this is over
you can bring her up here.
I don't think so.
We just separated.
How long you
been married?
Almost three years.
It'd be nine for us
this April.
Do you have any children,
Mr. Cain?
No. We were going to
in the beginning.
But then I went
into Homicide.
After a while it didn't
seem to matter anymore.
Nothin' mattered.
Not me, not her.
Just nothin'.
CAIN: I can't see anything.
Guess he's usin' the water
to hide his tracks, huh?
Maybe.
It's an old Indian trick.
Saw it in a John Wayne movie.
Bet it didn't fool
ol' big John though,
did it?
(LAUGHS)
Can't figure
this guy out, Ray.
I mean, he leaves a trail
of candy wrappers and food
I could even follow
and all of a sudden
he cleans up his act
and starts coverin'
his tracks.
I don't think he went
into the water.
CAIN: Why not?
These tracks,
they're deeper
than they should be.
And they're not clean.
He stepped in 'em twice,
backtracking.
Shit!
What?
Ride! Ride!
What's happenin'?
Ride!

It'll help the infection.
We'll wait for
the others to catch up
and then you can go back.
No.
You've lost a lot
of blood and you could
use some stitches.
I'll be all right.
Thank you for what
you did today.
Why didn't he kill us?
What happened when you
were taking him back
to Los Angeles?
I had an accident with a car
and I was unconscious.
He got away.
Is that all?
(GROANS)
Why?
You asked what
the Listening Woman
yelled at you this morning.
She said you have
the ghost sickness.
Totsoni and the others
think Twobear's
walking inside you.
That's ridiculous.
Is it?
I can see it
in your eyes.
They're dulled
with confusion.
And your body's weak
with a heart that's broken.
Come on, Ray.
You don't believe that
fuckin' hocus pocus.
What the hell makes
you people think
your magic is real
and everyone else's
is hocus pocus?
Your prophets can raise
the dead and part the seas
and ours is just bullshit.
Let me tell you
something, my friend,
our ancestors have
practiced their medicine
for ten thousand years.
It's real
and it's powerful.
You're wrong.
That old woman's wrong.
(SHIVERING)
I hope so.
For both our sakes.
I've lost his trail.
Just keep lookin'.
TOTSONI: Up here!
CAIN: How'd you know
it's a coyote?
RAY: A coyote's tracks
are very different.
It's outer toe pads
are bigger than
the inner ones.
This is a male.
About 50 pounds.
What're you gettin' at?
When Twobear was laying out
that phony ambush trail,
I think he picked up
a hungry coyote
that found a food source.
So the coyote's trackin'
Twobear and he'll
lead us right to him.
If he doesn't get bored
or find another
source of food.
We better get going.
How do you know
he's a male?
Stands on three legs
when it pisses.
They camped here
last night!
How many?
Just two.
Ray and the cop.
BEGAY: Why does he kill
the horse's and not them?
He will...
Once he's done,
playin' with 'em.
Man, this is bad.
They're no match
for Twobear.
You shouldn't
have let them go on
by themselves.
You know Whitesinger.
You can't tell her nothin'.
What's done is done!
The tracks head north
to Spider Canyon.
That Listening Woman
told Whitesinger
something about a skin-walker
living around Spider Rock.
They should've caught up
with us by now.
The wind probably
slowed them down.
How's your arm?
Ah, it's all right.
You have a fever.
You really
should go back.
Not until I get him.
I know Totsoni told you
about Twobear and my father.
I don't want you
to feel obligated.
CAIN: I'm sorry.
Ray, I'm sorry.
I know you're married. I...
I shouldn't have done that.
I haven't
seen my husband
in six months.
He came home
for a few days
and he stole
$300 from me.
I wanted you to do it.
That's what scares me.
(MOANS)
(GROWLS)
(SHIVERING)
He's in your dreams,
isn't he?
It's more than my dreams!
He's inside me.
I can feel him
inside me.
Christ,
I can even smell him!
Jesus, I'm goin' crazy.
Oh, no you're not.
It's real.
He's very powerful.
(GROANS)
You need a medicine man or
you'll die before we get back.
Your only chance is to
find Twobear and kill him.
Just kill him.
(SHIVERING)
I can't.
You have no choice.
When the time comes,
when he has taken
everything from you
and the fear has
no hold on you anymore,
then you fight back
and do what you
have to do
or you'll die.
(COYOTE HOWLING)
RAY: The Listening Woman
was right.
There is an
Anasazi ruin here.
It's a place of power.
I can feel it.
(HOWLS CONTINUE)
He's there.
RAY: Don't look down!
(PANTING)
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
How much further?
About a hundred feet.
I can't make it.
Yes, you can!
It hurts too much!
Don't think about it.
I can't help it!
(SOBBING)
I can't help it.
I can't help it.
Listen to the wind.

Listen to the wind!
Just concentrate
on the wind.
Can you hear it?
(WIND BLOWING SOFTLY)
Yeah. Yeah.

No pain.
No fear.

about yourself
if you let it.
What about the thing

I can't live in your world.

You wanted to see me?
What the hell happened
with the Ellis case?
What do you mean?
I mean I got a fucking

because he lost the case.
He says you fucked it up
so bad Ellis walked.
Hmm...
We got our wires crossed.
No, you got your

No probably cause.
Sloppy arrest.
What the hell
are you doing
out there?
Damn, I expect it from
the rest of these boneheads
but not you, John.
Bobby's, uh,
Bobby's screwing
some other guy.
She's leavin' me.
Oh, shit.
Why?
I don't know... Why what?
I mean, why's she screwing
the guy or why's she leaving?
Well, they usually
go hand in hand.
(SIGHS)
She doesn't know me anymore.
Well, maybe
that's her problem.
No, she's right.
I wake up in the morning
and I don't know
where to start.
I go to bed at night
and nothing I've done
makes any sense.
And I'm scared.
I'm really scared.
What, do you wanna see
a department shrink?
No.
I think it's time to quit.
I just...
I gotta have
some time alone.
I got a better idea.
Here. Pick up Geronimo.
He's that Indian that
killed those two women
out at the beach.
The, uh, tribal police
ran him down on the
reservation for us.
Now you
let Tina and Cooper
handle the Harper case
and you get out of here
for a few days.
Open spaces.
It'll be good for you.
Put some distance
between you
and all this shit.
And if it's still a problem
when you get back,
then we'll deal with it.
Okay?
Aren't we gonna
talk about this?
You don't get it
do you, John?
Nothin' left
to even talk about.
You're gonna leave
just like that?
You think this is
just happening now?
Suddenly you wanna
talk things out?
It doesn't work like that.
I wanted to talk
for months.
For years.
You were never home.
And when you were home
you wouldn't talk.

You must be Mr. Cain.

Totsoni said to expect you.
He ain't gonna be able
to meet you tonight.
But he'll be up
at his office
tomorrow at 9:00.
It's just a few miles
up the road.
My name's Hattie Moore.
And this here's my husband.
Percival John,
but, uh, folks around
here call me P.J.
Good to make
your acquaintance.
Quite a place
you got here.
Well, thank you.
Ol' man Phipps he bought
this place in '22.
He was the first trader.
We bought the place
from him in 1961,
day we got married.
That's a long time.
Place kinda grows on you.
Why don't you go on up
and get Mr. Cain's room
fixed up while I feed him?
You bet.
I meant
it was a long time
to be married.
What can I get you to eat?
What's good?
Stew and fry bread.
Okay.
Hey.
Are you the fella
that come to arrest
Coyote Man?
Yeah, I am.
Too bad...
for you.
(CHILDREN GIGGLING)
I'm sorry I'm late,
Mr. Cain.
I'm Frank Totsoni.
This is Daniel Nez.
I've been waitin' here
for over an hour.
Well, I was down near
the Little Colorado.
Your girl says
the prisoner's not here.
That's right.
He's up in Shonto.
They're bringing him
down right now.
Why didn't
I just go up there
in the first place?
Because I decided
to do it this way.
Have a seat,
Mr. Cain.
We can't prove it
but we think
he's responsible
for three killings
on the reservation.
One of his victims was
half-skinned alive.
People around here are
scared of Nakai Twobear.
He kills for power.
Nobody in Tuba City
wanted him around.
So we kept him in Shonto.
What is this guy?
The Boogie Man?
In a way.
They're here.
Put him in the back
of the Chevy.
I need you to sign
this release for me.
These are his things.
What the fuck are
you smiling about?
I see what you mean.
He looks like he could
skin somebody alive.
Do yourself a favor.
Don't give him an inch.
Thanks.
Sure glad it ain't me
drivin' him back.
Did you see the way
Twobear looked at him?

Welcome back,
Mr. Cain.
What happened?
You had an accident.
You've been out
for quite a while.
We were starting
to get worried about you.
How are you feeling?
Like somebody
just kicked my ass
from here to Detroit.
(LAUGHS)
That's a good analogy.
Now follow my finger.
Any numbness
in your arms or legs?
No.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)

if you can sit up.

No. My head feels like
it's gonna explode.
You experienced
a bad impact trauma.
But the X-rays
don't show
any fractures.
And I put a couple
of stitches in.
I'd say you were
pretty lucky.
Twobear?
A couple of Hopis
spotted the wreck.
By the time
they reported it
and we got there,
Twobear was long gone.
My gun?
Everything you had
on you is gone.

I can't remember.

I had to.

Hi, Jake.
Had me sweatin' bullets
there for a while, Cain.
Good thing it was your head,
where the least amount
of damage could be done.
Jake, I'm sorry about
this mess. I don't know
how it happened but...
I'll take care of it.
I'll go after him.
BADER:
Maybe you were right.
It was stupid of me
to send you up there
when all this
other shit happened
to you.
I just think it's better
if I send somebody else.
He's got my gun
and my shield, Jake.
Please let me do this. Please.
BADER: I don't know.
Let me talk to the doctor.
He wants to talk to you.
Yes, sir.
BADER: How bad is he?
He seems to be all right
but I'd like to keep
an eye on him over night.
You sure?
Yes.
Put him back on.
CAIN: Uh-huh.
It's against my better
judgment so be careful.
All right?
Yeah. Thanks, Jake.
So, tomorrow
you give me a clean
bill of health
and we'll start looking
for this son of a bitch.

This is the reservation.
We do things our own way.

He died about
an hour ago.
It must have happened

This is as far as
you can get a vehicle.
We'll have to go in
after him on horses.
You're kiddin'.
You sure you're up to this?
You don't have to, you know.
We can handle it.
No. No.
No, I wanna do it.
Ray Whitesinger
will track for us.
Ray's the best
on the reservation.
How much head start's he got?
He's been in foot
at least six hours.
Does he know the area?
Like the back of
his hand. He was born
and raised out here.
One of Moore's rifles
is missing
from his gun case.
A lot of ammo too.
So he's got plenty
of fire power.
Shit.
He's got a sweet tooth.
TOTSONI: Cain,
this is Ray Whitesinger.
The only things
he's packing are
guns, candy and jerky.
There was a beefy smell
in the car
when we opened it.
He's traveling light.
You can tell by
the tracks he left.
Which way is he headed?
North,
into Horse Canyon.
He left a good false trail
towards Chaiyahi Flats.
I almost fell for it.
CAIN: Maybe it's not
a false trail.
If I wanted to make some
fast time I'd use the flats,
not that canyon.
Well, we're not
tracking you,
are we, Mr. Cain?
Look, if we're
gonna be partners...
First of all,
I'm not your partner.
And second,
I know Nakai Twobear.
I'm the one that tracked him
so you could let him go.
Ray...
From the looks of it
I'd say your butt's
never been on a horse
and you're in the middle
of 10,000 square miles
of badlands
and you don't know
which way's up.
So why don't you sit back
and let me do my job.
You might learn something.
All right, this isn't LA
and I've only been
on horse a few times.
I've tracked a man before.
Not out here you haven't.
You'll need this.
(EAGLE SCREAMING)
He's cross-tracking.
We'll split up.
You and Begay drop down into
the canyon and double back.
The rest of us
will follow this track.
We'll meet up
at Sleeping Springs.
We're on his trail,
why split up?
A trail isn't just
a series of tracks.
It's an animal's ways.
For the last two miles he's
been cross-tracking between
the canyon and the rim.
If he's in the canyon,
Totsoni and the others
will flush him out.
Go easy on the water,
Mr. Cain.
Look, why don't
we bury the hatchet?
Bad choice of words.
If I were you,
I wouldn't push my luck.
Here.
You better take these.
It gets pretty cold
at night here.
Are these things clean?
Yeah. Only wore
'em twice.
(CLICKS TONGUE)
It's about 12:30.
He was here just
a few hours ago.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
(EAGLE SCREAMS)
What is it?
Nothin'.
Can you tell me
how to get rid
of this pain?
My butt feels like
a piece of raw meat.
Quit fighting your horse.
You're not moving with it.
I watched you
all day.
You're really good
at this tracking.
Where'd you learn it?
My father was a tracker.
Was?
He was drunk
when he tracked a killer
into Chaco hills.
The killer ambushed him.
(SIGHS)
Totsoni tells me you have
a degree in criminology.
Does that surprise you?
No.
My father never liked
the idea of me
going to college.
He thought
all the reading would
ruin my eyes for tracking.
Begay says there's
a Listening Woman who lives
about a mile up the canyon.
I think we should talk
to her in the morning.
It's worth a try.
We'll take a watch
in one hour shifts.
Nez'll take the first one.
Sleep well,
Mr. Cain.
You too.
You married, Totsoni?
No.
She'd be a handful.
She's already married.
Maybe there's something
else you should know.
Nakai Twobear
killed Ray's father.

Ray!
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(EAGLE SCREAMS)
(GASPS)
(PANTING)
You okay?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
(GOAT BLEATING IN DISTANCE)
CAIN: Why do you call her
a Listening Woman?
TOTSONI: She has a gift
for telling people
what makes them ill.
By listening to nature.
CAIN: She's pretty old to
be out here by herself.
Her husband was
a medicine man.
When a medicine man
dies they burn his hogan
and everything in it.
His wife is forced
to leave her clan
and make her own way.
Friendly custom.
Navajo fear the dead
more than anything else.
(GOAT BLEATING)
What did she say?
RAY:
She didn't see anyone.
But she felt the presence
of a Coyote Man
pass by here yesterday.
That's what a guy
called him in Tuba City.
What's a Coyote Man?
It's like what
you call a witch
or a sorcerer.
We call 'em Coyote Men.
Skin-walkers.
(SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE)
What's that all about?
Nothing.
Let's get goin'.
You take the canyon.
We'll pick up where his rim
track faded into the water.
What if he heads out
over the high grass?
RAY: He won't.
It's too wide open
on the flatlands.
Look, I don't wanna
start anything again but
what if Totsoni's right?
I'm thinking about
what I would do
if I were in his shoes.
Maybe he's playin'
the same game.
If we don't run him down
by sunset we'll meet
at the Abajo.
Begay, you know
where it is?
Yeah.
CAIN:
I hope you're right.
If I'm not I'm sure you'll be
the first to let me know.
RAY: The Listening Woman
talked about a skin-walker
living in some Anasazi ruins
near Spider Rock.
There's no ruins
by Spider Rock.
She probably
meant Betatakin.
But that's 20 miles
east of here.
What do skin-walkers do?
Navajos don't like to talk
about skin-walkers much.
They dig up corpses
and eat the flesh.
Some of 'em can
change into animals.
But most of all they like
to find a rope of sand
an' walk inside 'em.
CAIN:
What's the rope of sand?
It's someone who is weak
but was strong before.
Someone who's life
is out of harmony.
Totsoni said Twobear
killed for power.
What did he mean
by that?
Skin-walkers kill
animals or the people.
The strength gives them
the power to make
ghost sickness.
Spread out in the wash
and look for tracks.
(VOICES WHISPERING)
TOTSONI: It's like what you
call a witch or a sorcerer.
Skin-walkers.
(GRUNTING)
P.J.!
(NEIGHING)
Nez, tell me about
ghost sickness.
My grandfather
knew a man
down by Many Farms.
A skin-walker
got inside him,
he ended up killin'
his wife and four kids.
Then he took a millstone and
cracked his own head open.
How's it work?
How's he make 'em sick?
They all got
a special bone bead.
Just like this,
only made from
the bone of a corpse.
Somehow they find a way
to get it under your skin
and then they've got you.
They walk inside your dreams
till you get so weak
you can't fight 'em.
Then they suck out
the bone bead
and take your soul.
You better ride
to the Abajo.
He's headed out
across the high grass.
It's two hours to the Abajo.
It'll be dark
by the time I get there.
You could camp out
there tonight and pick up
our trail in the morning.
I'll make it
easy for you.
If you ride hard
you can catch us
by late afternoon.
What if you two
run him down
before we catch up?
We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it.
Whoa! Whoa!
Aren't you gonna say
I told you so?
I'm not here to
fight with you.
Hell, I fucked up
and let him get away
in the first place.
I just wanna find
the son of a bitch.
CAIN: God, it's beautiful.
Come on.
CAIN: It's strange.
RAY: What's that?
The silence.
God, it's quiet
out here.
That's what I always
hated about the city.
The constant noise.
When we
were first married,
my wife and I
used to go
to this cabin
in the mountains.
It was quiet there too.
I mean not like this but
a lot better
than the city.
It was
her favorite place.
Well, maybe
when this is over
you can bring her up here.
I don't think so.
We just separated.
How long you
been married?
Almost three years.
It'd be nine for us
this April.
Do you have any children,
Mr. Cain?
No. We were going to
in the beginning.
But then I went
into Homicide.
After a while it didn't
seem to matter anymore.
Nothin' mattered.
Not me, not her.
Just nothin'.
CAIN: I can't see anything.
Guess he's usin' the water
to hide his tracks, huh?
Maybe.
It's an old Indian trick.
Saw it in a John Wayne movie.
Bet it didn't fool
ol' big John though,
did it?
(LAUGHS)
Can't figure
this guy out, Ray.
I mean, he leaves a trail
of candy wrappers and food
I could even follow
and all of a sudden
he cleans up his act
and starts coverin'
his tracks.
I don't think he went
into the water.
CAIN: Why not?
These tracks,
they're deeper
than they should be.
And they're not clean.
He stepped in 'em twice,
backtracking.
Shit!
What?
Ride! Ride!
What's happenin'?
Ride!

There's a storm moving in.
What's that stuff
you're mixin'?
Some pinyon
and mesquite gum.
It'll help the infection.
We'll wait for
the others to catch up
and then you can go back.
No.
You've lost a lot
of blood and you could
use some stitches.
I'll be all right.
Thank you for what
you did today.
Why didn't he kill us?
What happened when you
were taking him back
to Los Angeles?
I had an accident with a car
and I was unconscious.
He got away.
Is that all?
(GROANS)
Why?
You asked what
the Listening Woman
yelled at you this morning.
She said you have
the ghost sickness.
Totsoni and the others
think Twobear's
walking inside you.
That's ridiculous.
Is it?
I can see it
in your eyes.
They're dulled
with confusion.
And your body's weak
with a heart that's broken.
Come on, Ray.
You don't believe that
fuckin' hocus pocus.
What the hell makes
you people think
your magic is real
and everyone else's
is hocus pocus?
Your prophets can raise
the dead and part the seas
and ours is just bullshit.
Let me tell you
something, my friend,
our ancestors have
practiced their medicine
for ten thousand years.
It's real
and it's powerful.
You're wrong.
That old woman's wrong.
(SHIVERING)
I hope so.
For both our sakes.
I've lost his trail.
Just keep lookin'.
TOTSONI: Up here!
CAIN: How'd you know
it's a coyote?
RAY: A coyote's tracks
are very different.
It's outer toe pads
are bigger than
the inner ones.
This is a male.
About 50 pounds.
What're you gettin' at?
When Twobear was laying out
that phony ambush trail,
I think he picked up
a hungry coyote
that found a food source.
So the coyote's trackin'
Twobear and he'll
lead us right to him.
If he doesn't get bored
or find another
source of food.
We better get going.
How do you know
he's a male?
Stands on three legs
when it pisses.
They camped here
last night!
How many?
Just two.
Ray and the cop.
BEGAY: Why does he kill
the horse's and not them?
He will...
Once he's done,
playin' with 'em.
Man, this is bad.
They're no match
for Twobear.
You shouldn't
have let them go on
by themselves.
You know Whitesinger.
You can't tell her nothin'.
What's done is done!
The tracks head north
to Spider Canyon.
That Listening Woman
told Whitesinger
something about a skin-walker
living around Spider Rock.
They should've caught up
with us by now.
The wind probably
slowed them down.
How's your arm?
Ah, it's all right.
You have a fever.
You really
should go back.
Not until I get him.
I know Totsoni told you
about Twobear and my father.
I don't want you
to feel obligated.
CAIN: I'm sorry.
Ray, I'm sorry.
I know you're married. I...
I shouldn't have done that.
I haven't
seen my husband
in six months.
He came home
for a few days
and he stole
$300 from me.
I wanted you to do it.
That's what scares me.
(MOANS)
(GROWLS)
(SHIVERING)
He's in your dreams,
isn't he?
It's more than my dreams!
He's inside me.
I can feel him
inside me.
Christ,
I can even smell him!
Jesus, I'm goin' crazy.
Oh, no you're not.
It's real.
He's very powerful.
(GROANS)
You need a medicine man or
you'll die before we get back.
Your only chance is to
find Twobear and kill him.
Just kill him.
(SHIVERING)
I can't.
You have no choice.
When the time comes,
when he has taken
everything from you
and the fear has
no hold on you anymore,
then you fight back
and do what you
have to do
or you'll die.
(COYOTE HOWLING)
RAY: The Listening Woman
was right.
There is an
Anasazi ruin here.
It's a place of power.
I can feel it.
(HOWLS CONTINUE)
He's there.
RAY: Don't look down!
(PANTING)
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
How much further?
About a hundred feet.
I can't make it.
Yes, you can!
It hurts too much!
Don't think about it.
I can't help it!
(SOBBING)
I can't help it.
I can't help it.
Listen to the wind.
The what?
Listen to the wind!
Just concentrate
on the wind.
Can you hear it?
(WIND BLOWING SOFTLY)
Yeah. Yeah.
Block out everything else.
No pain.
No fear.
Only the wind.

When I'm walkin'

And what you fear

a favor by killing you.

And then I'm gonna peel

you can do about it,

You started givin' up
and now
there's nothin' left

Why do I get the feeling
that none of this
was an accident?
Life leaves
nothing to chance.
Fate has a way of bringing
certain people together.
The thing between
you and Nakai Twobear
can teach you a lot
about yourself
if you let it.
What about the thing
between you and me?
(SIGHS)
I need this.
I can't live in your world.
I tried.
Then I'll have to try
living in yours.
TOTSONI: Whitesinger!
It's Totsoni!
Is Cain with you?
I'm here!
Are you two okay?
Yes!
