Last of the Dogmen

---

You boys have any luck?

I'm afraid a needle in a

haystack ring a bell?

Try down there by Buck Creek

They might have got that far

10-4

I want those bastards found

They killed one of the guards.

They cut his throat

Jesus!

What do you figure they'll do?

Keep running

Make for the border

Buy a little condo on a lake

somewhere and live happily ever after

There's only one thing

standing in their way

4000 sq miles of the roughest country

God ever put on a map

Not a road, not a town

Hell there are places out there

that haven't even seen a foot print

Sheriff?

Who are those guys?

Find Gates

Lewis Gates? But I thought that...

Just find him

Yes sir

Rise and shine Lewis

What are you looking at?

You were supposed to

stop me after 3 remember?

Hope you remember where we parked

cause I sure don't

Lewis

I didn't do it, and however said

I did, is a liar!

A busload of escaped prisoners went off

the highway near Logan Pass last night

Three escaped

They headed straight into the Oxbow

I don't do that kind of work anymore

Lewis wait!

The FBI showed up.

Lewis, they need one brought out alive

Deegan himself sent me to find you

Tell Deegan he can kiss my ass

You're gonna have to do that yourself

Briggs

Just talk to him

Otherwise he'll chew my butt

Lewis please

Deegan I'm telling you what I told

your Deputy. Not interested

Now you listen good.

I need you on this one.

Drunk or sober you're

still the best tracker in the state

You always were a charmer

Briggs, is that mangy dog of his there?

He could use a bath sir

Well I just got a complaint

he's been chasing deer again

Now I want you to take Mr. Gates

down to the county lockup

15 day for wildlife harassment and

failure to obey the leash law

Leash law!

You shouldn't provoke him Lewis

Hell, I shouldn't do a lot

of things I end up doing

You going in after those convict fellars?

Yeah, it appears I am

My cousin walked into

them mountains 20 years ago

Never come out

Any message in case I

come across him?

Tell him I run off with his wife

Come on Zip!

Where'd they go in?

Bottom of the ravine

The dogs lost their trail

at the north fork

Armed?

More than likely

A 12 gauge pump and

357 still unaccounted for

That'll be $4000 cash per man

plus expenses

You'll get what you're always paid

and not a dime more

Come on Zip, I guess we're going to jail

Gates

I don't give a sh*t about the other 2

Sears comes out alive

If there's one scratch on him

you don't even get horse feed

I'll treat him with kid gloves

What you waiting for?

Go on, get to work

Good boy Zip

It looks like we weren't the

only ones who got thirsty

Four legs or two?

Come on check it out

Goddamit, Zip!

I almost let the air out of you

Come on, make some noise next time will ya

Hey, it's my hat you know

Howdy boys

Ah relax

They ain't going anywhere

We'll go up and grab them at first light

Besides I'm beat

Tomorrow we cash in Zippy

Maybe we'll finally get

that log cabin built

You think you can handle a

real roof over your head?

Course this ain't such a

bad roof either

What is it!

Somebody's out there

And the kid?

Leave him

He won't be back

Hell no,

Not with a gut full of buckshot

What the hell was that?

Hey!

I'm gettin outta here!

Goddamit!

Who are you?

I was beginning to wonder about you

Sears give you any trouble?

No trouble at all

You know we never talked

about what happened

We should of

There's nothing to talk about

My daughter is dead

Now, where's my man?

If you want the rest of him

You ride in and find him yourself

What the hell is this?

It's all that's left

of your runners

They're died

All of them?

What the hell happened?

I don't know

What do you mean you don't know

Goddamit, don't play games

I don't know

I was moving in

Everything was fine.

Then I heard gunshots

When I got to where they

should have been

All I found was that shirt

And enough blood on the ground

to paint this office

No bodies, nothing

You expect me to believe

this cock and bull story?

I don't give a damn

what you believe

All I know is I wasted 4 days

and I'm out 12 grand

Where you going?

I need a drink

I'm not finished with you

I want some answers

That makes two of us

Convicts elude capture in Oxbow

Historian in Native American

Studies awarded grant

Archaeological dig to continue

near Judith Gap

I look Professor Sloan

Over there

Where is Professor Sloan?

Over that way

Excuse me, I'm looking

for Professor Sloan

Excuse me

Where the hell is Professor Sloan?

Please don't ask me to go over there

I have already been over there,

and over there, and over there

Who wants to know?

Give me a break lady

It took me 3 and a half hours

to drive up here to meet this guy

I'm about ready to sick my

dog on somebody

You call that a dog?

Will somebody just point

out the old fart

L.D. Lillian Diane

You're not the first person

to make that mistake Mr...?

Gates, Lewis Gates

Gates... All right, take this to

Sandy and have her clean it

up by tonight, ok. Good work

So Mister Gates, what can

this ol fart do for you?

You don't really look

like a professor

- So where did you find this

- In the Oxbow

The Oxbow. Wasn't that just in the

news? Something about convicts.

Yeah, I was the guy they

hired to find them

Bounty hunter?

Please, Civil Service.

It's sounds a little less...

Barbaric?

I tracked them for 4 days. The

trail ended in a meadow 20 miles in

Somebody got to those men before I did.

There was blood everywhere, and that

Quite a story

Do you know what this is?

I call it a wild guess...

An arrow?

Cheyenne arrow.

Dog soldier to be exact

Dog soldier?

Within the Cheyenne tribes, there

used to be a military society made up

of the strongest and bravest men

They were fierce fighters, unyielding

They called themselves,

Hotametaneo'o... Dogmen

The cavalry called them Dog

Soldiers, they were suicide soldiers

They often acted as rear guards

A sort of sacrificial decoy

So the rest of the

tribe could escape

You see?

What does it mean?

Nothing

Except maybe another one of your

Civil Servant speech to those men

So what about this?

An authentic reproduction.

About $15 in any tourist shop

I saw something in that meadow

What, exactly?

I do not know. It was just

later I found horse tracks.

And what's unusual about that?

They weren't shod

I checked with the Forest Service and

nobodies running stock up in that country

And nobody rides unshod

horses except

Indians. That's what you're

implying isn't it?

You don't seriously believe

Cheyenne Dog Soldiers are running

around loose in the Oxbow?

Do you?

No of course not. Just...

I'm not a nut case, ok

I'm sorry I can't help you, but

Drop that bone

Get back here

Is that your dog?

Give it back to him Zip

The group from the Institute

are here Doctor

I'll be right there

Mr. Gates... It's been...

entertaining

Drive carefully

Somebody killed

those men Doctor

Wasn't me, and it wasn't
