Background
Darren is a cowboy at Walt's ranch in Little Creek, New Mexico.
During the events of The Return (1980) played by Darby Hinton
Wayne is drinking beer in his patrol vehicle when a car driven by Eddie and with Darren and a woman inside of it speeds past while also swerving along the road. Eddie crashes his car through the entryway of his father Walt’s property and stops. Wayne walks up and knocks on Eddie’s window and Eddie lowers it and spits beer on Wayne who finally pulls his gun out when Eddie refuses to get out of his car. Darren warns Wayne not to do anything that might upset Walt and Wayne shoots Eddie’s car radio. Niles Buchanan drives up and Darren tells him Wayne went crazy. Niles smooths things over and he and Wayne leave. Wayne, Walt, Eddie and Darren walk up and Walt criticizes Wayne for not finding out what is mutilating his cattle. Walt asks Jennifer what could have mutilated his cattle, and she tells him she doesn't know. Two Horsemen ride up and tell Walt they found four more dead cows. That night, Jennifer gets into her car and is grabbed by Eddie. She throws her coffee on his face and gets out of her car. She is then confronted by Darren and a Cowboy and Darren shows her one of the devices she put out and accuses her of using the device to kill Walt's cattle. She tells him and Eddie that it monitors geothermal magnets. She runs away from them to the inside of a building, but is caught and Eddie shows him the brand he did to his own hand. She manages to get away again, but is caught and as she is about to be sexually assaulted by Eddie, Wayne shows up and starts punching and slapping Eddie and Darren. Walt walks up with Niles and Walt apologizes to Jennifer for what Eddie did, but also warns her not to come on his property again after accusing her of mutilating his cattle. The next day, Darren shows Walt one of Jennifer's devices and Walt shoots it. Darren goes to look for more devices and is killed by The Prospector.
