You followed me

from the motel.

Actually,

from the night before.

I watched you check in.

The motel was full,

so you shared a room

with that fella.

I didn't stay.

I was car shopping

that night.

But by the time

you came over

for breakfast

the next morning,

I was back.

I heard you ask

for a ride.

Then I paid your friend

Mr. Sutherland a visit.

It was a quick visit.

They'll find you.

I don't think so.

Like Tex said,

they ain't lookin'

for me.

Where's the gun?

Oh.

Freeze.

I didn't do it.

Get away from him.

Look, it was him.

He's the one who did it. He's the one

who killed him. I didn't do it.

Where is he?!

What? Who?

I will kill you

to find him.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Look out!

Aah.

You made good time,

Frank.

I have to admit,

I was worried for awhile

that you'd make it at all.

Drop the gun

so we can talk civilized.

State Patrol knows

I'm on this train.

They know you're on it.

They'll be waiting

on the other side.

Always needing help,

aren't you, Frank?

You didn't start out

that way.

In the beginning,

when it was just me

and you,

it was a challenge.

I'd make a move,

then you'd make a move.

Then you have to start playing

the game unfairly.

It never was a game.

Oh, yes, it was.

Me against you.

Then it was me against you

and 50 other agents.

Then 200 agents.

You never seemed

to have any trouble.

Hey, don't bullshit me,

Frank.

So I had to level

the playing field.

That's why I took

your boy.

Where is he?

Remember the deal?

Kill me to find him.

You had your chance,

Frank!

You should have

taken it!

Bye, Frank!

Don't talk.

Rest.

Aah!

Aah!

Southern Pacific,

this is Denver dispatch. You read me?

Yeah.

You got the nerve,

Doc.

It's time to give it up.

Aah!

Aah!

Where's my son?

Kill me to find him,

Frank.

That was the deal.

Yee-haw!

Aah.

Oh!

Aah!

Oh!

Southern Pacific 20-10,

this is Colorado

State Patrol.

Try him again.

You know,

Tex is an old fella.

Just because he doesn't

answer his radio

doesn't mean...

You know, that's odd.

There's no smoke coming out

of that smokestack.

Sy!

Sy, get the dispatcher!

Buck.

Oh, my God.

Frank.

Back there.

Take care of this one.

Is that him?

The killer's dead.

What about your boy?

Just hang in there,

son.

We'll get you

to the hospital.

He's lost a lot of blood.

He's got hypothermia.

Help me up.

Sir, you better

come here.

Gracias, amigo.

He said the city

condemned this place

about 2 months ago.

Ain't nobody lived here

since.

He's missing his son.

The guy was a killer,

Frank.

Yeah.

But he wasn't a liar.

Andy.

Daddy!

Whoa whoa

Whoa oh oh

Where I used

to have a heart

Feels like

a mile-wide ditch

I got a hole inside

The doctor

just can't stitch

Gone without a trace

You left a hollow

Place

There's not a stone

to mark

Where I

Used to have

A heart

There were times

when I would hold you

And feel the poundin'

in my chest

And now

I'm just as empty

As a canyon

way out west

That's how deep

I loved you

Babe,

I love you still

To the bottom

of this space

I'll never fill

Where I used

to have a heart

Feels like

a mile-wide ditch

I got a hole inside

The doctor

just can't stitch

Gone without a trace

You left a hollow

Place

There's not a stone

to mark

Where I

Used to have

A heart

Guess I'll learn

to live with

A different kind

of pain

I'm sufferin'

from a sickness

That I cannot

give a name

It's such

a strange sensation

I've never felt

before

Missin' you

Has cut me

To the core

Where I used

to have a heart

Feels like

a mile-wide ditch

I got a hole inside

The doctor

just can't stitch

Gone without a trace

You left

a hollow place

There's not a stone

to mark

Where I

Used to have

A heart

Whoa whoa oh oh

Whoa oh ho

Oh ooh

Where I

Used to have

A heart
