?? ?? - tell me where i'd find sheriff dobbs this time of day. - he ain't around here, that's all i can tell you. - you trying to tell me something more?

- those be some of the other? - two of 'em. - (gunshots continue) another rode into town a while ago. i expect there'll be more before 9:00 tomorrow morning. that's when the sheriff turns in his badge. - will you see my hse is cared for? - what time do you want him? - be shortly after 9:00 tomorrow. - (laughing) - (horses neighing) - you looking for someone?

- well, then. no need to xxxxxfoot with us, friend. i'm les horgan, my friend here's turkey tate. - paladin. what's all the shooting about? - oh, we're just passing the time. them two colts want to get to their mamas. now, the first man that cuts his rope wins a dollar. if we both cut a rope, the first colt that gets - and if you hit a colt? - you lose. (chuckling) - what you got to settle with dobbs? - nothing personal, i never met the man. - you might have to wait in line. jake condos rolled into town this morning. dobbs killed his two brothers a year ago, when he was trying to rob the express office. he's faster than a snake, that condos. - well, i have heard that a man couldn't be faster than dobbs.

gonna be fast enough with condos and me and turkey, and, uh, maybe you, all coming at him at the same time. -well, now, i just don't believe i'm gonna let it happen that way. - what do you mean? - i've been hired to deal with dobbs. somebody else gets to him first, i ride out of this town, my pockets just as empty as when i rode in.

- mr. dobbs? - yeah. this supposed to mean something to me? - well, not if you have to ask. someplace we can talk privately? - ria, uh, finish up out here. come on. well, now, uh... what's on your mind, mister, um... - paladin. it was on the card. - oh, yeah, yeah, i guess it was. - you tying that gun down for my benefit? - well, i have to believe that you're the stranger who stopped by the blacksmith's barn and talked to those other two fellas.

who are here for the express purpose of killing you as soon as you take that badge off. why do you take it off? - i got to someday, but, um, look, it's no business of yours now, is it? - yes, it is. yes, indeed it is. "sheriff john dobbs to resign. "john dobbs, known as the west's fastest draw lawman "has announced his retirement after 15 years "of facing down gunmen and outlaws. "local citizens fear trouble from relatives and friends "soon after dobbs announced he was laying down his badge, strangers began drifting into town." i received this. and some money. - who sent it? - i don't know. probably a friend of yours, a friend here in this town who's afraid to stand up with you now. - or maybe somebody who wants to make sure that i'm dead tomorrow. - now, i told those two men

be all right. now, what were you saying? - i said i told those two men they had to give me the first crack at you. if they wanted it, they'd have to fight me for it. - well, maybe you were telling them the truth. - you want to kill somebody? - i don't want to kill anybody unless i'm forced to. - well, if i can convince those two to give me the first crack at you, i may be able to save their lives, as well as yours. - but that would still mean that you'd be coming at me, don't it? - that's right.

- (laughing) you know, now, i don't know whether you're a fool or if you're just taking me for one. but let me tell you this-- now, if you throw down at me, either tomorrow or anytime, you better be quick and you better be straight. you can-- you can tell your friends the same thing? - sheriff, i'm gonna find the man who sent me the money. i'm gonna jam the money in his ear

- that's the guy, jake. - yeah? - (whistles) - yeah? - you a friend of the sheriffs? - i've talked to him, sure, but... - storm or fair weather, innkeeper. you tell it around that paladin wants to give back the money that was sent to him. - tell who? - you just tell it around. the right man will know what you mean

- if the gentleman will have one on me. - my name is condos, jake condos. - paladin. - to the man who kills dobbs. you're not drinking. - no. - you disappoint me, gunfighter. (glass shattering) drink alone. now i can make a nickel putting a bullet through your head. don't waste my time. just unbuckle the gun belt. now crawl out of it.

all right, now, you two. add you guns to the kitty... right there. now i have one more argument with you people and you won't be able to talk it afterwards.

ria? - you'll kill me first, you hear? i swear i'll kill you. - now, it's dobbs you're afraid for. where is he? - away. with a prisoner. ria... i believe that you sent this to me. now, how long did it take you to save $10? a year? two years?

ou think i feel for that? how? - does dobbs know? does dobbs know that you'd kill for him? or die? - that's not important. - ria... ria, sit down. sit down. now... now, i did come to this town to help him, but he won't let me. m, that was only to encourage the others to fight me instead of him.

- he is a good man, but this time, he is afraid. - i sometimes think that all good men are afraid. but it's also been said that fear is the beginning of wisdom. ria... it's your fear, too. ll him. - ria, i don't understand. now, men have tried to kill him before, but this time, you feel that they'll succeed and he feels they will, too. why? why this time? - i can't tell you. it would be to put his life in your hands, and...

hmm? strong enough to bury his hate? - come here, mr. paladin. this is what nobody knows. - how long's it been? - one year now. - so he decided to quit and you go to oregon with him. - i'm just a serving woman. - oh. - will you help him?

please... it's very important to me to be able to do this one thing.

- they were offering money in the hotel last night that you wouldn't come back. - isn't that funny, after 15 years, people still can't make up their mind about a man. - dobbs, this sign. what does it say? i let it pass. - well, now you're just guessing about that, aren't you? - no. no, i'm not guessing. that's right. ria. she loves you enough, dobbs, to risk losing you. she knew i'd have to tell you this

you better go mind it. now get out of here. - at 9:00 tomorrow morning, i'm gonna call you out for everybody to see. i'll reach for my gun, but you'll shoot first. and i do hope you miss. - well, don't count on it! - if you kill me, it'll be because i let you kill me and you'll never know whether it could've been any other way. that's your choice, dobbs.

our business is strictly personal now, isn't it? - what's on your mind, paladin? - well, i wanted to be sure we weren't interrupted while i tell you that you're a dirt-wallowing pig who used his badge to kill and i'll give you a count of three to make a play. i say one...

- doing some coward's work for money? now, you're not worth killing,

ria, dobbs. since i will not be able to attend the wedding... - no. - ria, i earned this money. i do have the right to give it. now, here. - thank you, mr. paladin. - paladin... i hadn't made up my mind yet. - mr. dobbs, that does not exactly surprise me. you know, i might have been a lot safer

? "have gun, will travel" ? ? reads the card of a man ? ? a knight without armor ? ? his fast gun for hire ? ? heeds the calling wind ? ? paladin, paladin ?

?? (gun cocking) (gun uncocking)

(knife thudding) (gasping through teeth) - here. blood starts circulating, these are going to hurt.

ker. i'm obliged to you. you, uh... you after the old man? - i'm after ahab tyson, with a warrant. - i-i got stronger reasons. that was my only brother he killed at benedict pass. - the old man do this to you? - yeah. trapped me like a coyote 'cause i was too anxious. but he made a mistake when he left me alive. you know that weapon, paladin? - buffalo gun, sharps. - powerful enoh knock down a bull with one shot. yes, mister, this one kills big. you know, paladin, i got more old testament in me than new. i believe in an eye for an eye.

'll bring some help along with me. - don't use up all your luck. - paladin, my brother was all i had. that old man strung me up like a butchered animal. now i owe you something. and i hope i'm not gonna have to kill you over a thing like him. - he dig that grave for you? - yeah. in case i was found too late, he said. - stryker, for what that old man had in mind, it's never too late.

throughout) well, w, air is sweet, the grass is the same, and you do have fine sheep. - you can see for yourself. - i followed a man's trail to this place. a man named ahab tyson. to drink? - no, thanks. they say that tyson killed a man. - when i was ten, the boston doctor said i had a year to live. my parents sent me here as a last hope. perhaps merely to die. the good air made a liar of that doctor and made me a friend to all of those who chanced by. mr. tyson made me this. he said, "boy, king david could use a slingshot. "to kill a lion,

"...or an enemy of the lord. now, you practice and do the same." - and did you? - yes. (air whooshing) (sharp crack) - well... you practiced well indeed. still, i'm surprised at ahab tyson even a young king david. (taking deep breath) ahab tyson? - i like this boy. i'd been hoping there would be no blood spilled on his land. but i guess either you or i are going to make a grave in it.

oshing) (paladin) - stop. boy, you just made a choice. don't force me to make one. put it down. (guns cocking) now, go get his horse. (crickets chirping) well, it's got roof enough to keep us dry tonight.

?? (coughs) tyson, you kill a man in benedict pass? - he tried to hold me up, ta my horse. i couldn'tet him do that. - tyson, he was only a boy. the law would have been much more inclined to listen then than now.

- (sniffing) yeah, smoke. they're in there, all right. when i tell you. (bullets clanking) - no. - sky blue's apple country. apples so hard that when you bite into them, they pop like balls of ice. - hmm. well, tyson, i am very fond of apples, but tomorrow... is a long day. (horse neighing)

spect. - paladin! - what do you want, stryker? - lk first. (gun cocking) - (taking deep breath) - the old man, paladin. i want him. - you can't have him. - i got to take him, is that it? - stryker, one more step cuts the cord. - you figure he's worth dying for? - do you?

(gunfire) (gunfire, glass shattering) - (grunts) (gunfire conties) (bullets richeting)

- where? - leg. - there a town near here with a doctor? - maybe. mining camp. half day's ride. - i'll get the horses. (pounding on door) - (sighing, groans) (pounding on door) well, where is it? oh, it's a man. - of course it's a man. you're a doctor, aren't you? - veterinarian. same thing. at least the people hereabouts think so, and they might just as well. ain't another medical man 150 miles in any direction. - you ain't going to let no cow doctor dig into me, are you? - oh, now, hush up, old man. i've patched up more human animals than the other kind. now, fill that kettle. the pump's out back.

this might hurt a mite. just... take it easy, now. easy will do it. this valley reaches 200 miles to the north and 50 miles to the south. and stryker rules it like a kingdom. now, he didn't just kill a man. he killed a prince. i know that sharps of his. stoic. that's men for you. but no, a cow is different. i'll do what i can, but i don't think it's going to make much difference. that sharps left a dirty hole, and he's an old man.

. and the fever he's shaking with now will peak by tomorrow. and he may have, oh, 24 hours after that. - (sighing) - do you always sleep with a hand on your gun? - no. it's an occupational disease. thank you. will stryker stop? - if you kill him. - no. no, i mean if i get tyson out of the state, into nevada. - 10,000 horses couldn't take you far enough. and he? he wouldn't be able to make it. he's been doing a lot of wild talking about... sky blue. - hmm. you mentioned that before. what is it? - a ghost town in the mountains, about 20 miles.
