do you still want that chair? sure do. comemen up to the house. come on in. don't be bashful. shut the door. why are you doing thisis all he wants is something to eat. - i saw you coming up, randall. - i didn't make a secret of it. do you know him? he's the guy that shot me. no. looks like i didn't do a very good job.

tell her how you and your brother cut a man in half. i told you to shut up. what's he talking about? i was gonna let you live till andy got back, but that big mouth of yours is gonna change all that. what's he mean? nothing. nothing. he's trying to save his own skin. ( panting ) now get over there and sit on that cot. you don't think i'll do it, do you? will you? you saw what i did to that friend of yours. - your back's no thicker than his. - you did kill him. oh, you're gonna pay for this, randall. and the price is gonna be real high. i just wish i could do it slow. ( cocks gun )

martin. i'm gonna take you. you're good to me dead or alive, so you can make up your own mind how it's gonna be. you can't get out. don't make it any worse on yourself than it is.

there you are, mr. randall. that's the reward on both of them. thanks. i think i owe you an apology. don't worry about it. - i wanted you to know. - uh-huh. mrmrwade, i wonder if you'd do me a favor. i will if i can. could you get this in miss wilcox's account without her knowing where it came from? i'll try. i don't quite know how i'll manage it. but you'll figure a way? i'll figure a way. thanks. josh. you know, i've heard a lot about you. there's not very much of it that's been good. yet after the way we treat you, you do a thing like this and you don't want anybody to know about it. seems to me like iff the word got around, you might have more friends. simple-- the kind of friends will have to know, i don't want.

?? ?? - whoa! - morning, mr. tyler, and mr. jenkins.

name, please? - marie ellis. - you may not like it here, miss. sweetwater's a family town, if you get what i mean. - you better tell me something about yourself. our marshal's mighty particular about what new folks' business is. - well, gentlemen, i think your marshal will be a good deal more interested in my business. i waited a long time to meet hihiagain. i'll be out in the street when he's ready. - you must be out of your head.

- you always was a mite too sure of yourself, paladin. (laughing) still a split eyelash faster. always was, always will be. you know, i was beginning to think you... you was dead - well, i wondered the same aboututou. army let the scouts go, you just dropped out of sight. - well, the buffalo all gone, the plains tribes breaking up,

s made a big show out of your return. "legegd from the past offers to clean up sweetwater," they said. - they thought i was too old. well, i showed 'em. tyler! bustle on over here. - that's a fine e ece of shooting, marshal. so fast, i couldn't see your hand move. - pass the word... mr. paladin will be my guest, long as he cares to stay here. - - s, sir, mr. carey. we'll see that he's treated right. that's the female who got off the same stage. - tom,m,hat is marie ellis. i understand she bought the gold lily saloon from a man in abilene. - bill houghton didn't tell you he was gonna sell his place to a woman. no wonder he didn't come back. - i'll look in on her later.

come on. i'll show you a town that's run like a town ought to be run. the only sickness your boy's got is plain laziness. i'll expect to see him in school totorrow. see how it works? a boy dodging school could lead to all sorts of things. my system is to fix problems 'fore they start. - tom, you don't think it was the mother's province to say whether or not the boy y s sick? i only step in when folks decide wrong. now, you take harry brawley there. he's got more grazing land than he can use, but no... never occurs to him to help out his neighbor. - i got plans for that land. it ain't your job to mess in my private affairs. - it's a marshal's job to stop trouble, ain't it? you give joe elkins any trouble when he starts fencing tomorrow,

him and his missus are giving me more bother than any ten families. it's funny... me, who never lived in a town in his life before, and the minute i walked in, i could see what was missing. like skinning a buffalo... there's a right way and a wrong way. folks just need someone to show 'em the right way. yes, sir. trouble can start even in little things. like overcharging three cents on a pound of flour. - oh, mr. carey's always fair. uh... life's a lot simpler since he came. - well, tom, it's hardly a new system. now, aside from the fact that the law is very clear and d ecific as to what a lawman can and cannot do-- - mr. paladin's a great reader of books. give him half a chance and, well, he can go on for hours with all the, uh... fancy ideas he's come across.

i'll check into my hotel, and maybe we can talk later. excuse me. - you can tell marshal carey... the bar is open, gentlemen.

- i'i'sorry, ma'am, mr. carey doesn't allow any drinks to be sold until 7:00. then only three to a customer. - i can't make a living that way. it won't even pay y penses! - that's why houghton sold you the place so cheap. - bartender, i'd like a brandy, if you have it. ooh, marie... (chuckling) brandy's made to be sipped slowly. enjoy it. try to cure your t tubles with it. - have you known him for a long time? - mm-hmm.

nd, he was our scout. i guess he was just about the best friend i ever had. - is he really faster than you? - he says so. - well, men change, paladin, and when they do, it can be awful dangerous if your feelings about them don't change, too. take it from someone who found that oututhe hard way. - ha, well, look at all the y ylow-bellies, hah! harry brawley makes up his own mind, honey. i've already had one. you could just serve me up another. - bring the man a bottle. maybe what he's got'll be catching. now, that is the bottle there, friend. i'm the management. (laughter) - you can set me up, too. maybe it's high time

- the lady'll obey any proper voted laws, carey. anything else, she figures, is just one man's opinion. - well... being as i got an old friend in town tonight, mr. tyler... i reckon it's close enough to 7:00 for f fks to have a drink. wild-like. that's the kind that makes the most trouble. - tom, i didn't realize you were such an expert in the field.

now, listen... you didn't see what it was when i came here. brawley, who was so worried about a few acres of grazing, he couldn't raise cattle as fast as they was being stole. the bank was closed. murphy, the storekeeper, nged all tha had both his boys shot down in the street. t was a set of rules folks could depend on. - now, look around you, man... no loafin', no thievin'. getting themselves all mixed up with their own ideas? - i'd like to think you're joking. - the two things that made all the trouble here before was that. and that. - and another onondown here. - well, how about it! - when i wrecked houghton's business here, i... i thought i was finally rid of both of them. now they're both back. - tom...

- i'm trying to do my job. i saw the kind of woman she was the minute i saw her walk down the street. - tom, this is an area about which you know absolutely nothing. now, if you try and master it at your age, you're gonna make a fool of yourself. - well... let's just see how much i do know about it, hmm? i'd like a word with the lady, gentlemen. just struck me, ma'am, you didn't say where you came from. - abilene. - oh. of tow well, lots of us here know abilene real well. n? - out of town a bit. - sort of the edge of town?

- i'd hate to have words with an old friend. - keep out of it, please, mr. paladin. i'll have to handle it myself sooner or later. now, i want to make something clear, right here and now. i scraped and i saved till i had me $1,200. and there isn't a one here who'll ever ow what it cost me to get it. i spent 12 cents on a bar of lye soap, and i scrubbed till my skin was raw... then $20 for a new dress... and the rest i gave to a man to buy this place here. was ru a saloon, n, and i figured i could run me one, too... and be a lady at the same time.

o tell him anything more. if he doesn't understand now, he never will. - do you understand? i would rather die than go back to where i started. you see... i'm betting my life... that i can run a decent business and still be the kind of womama.. - listen to paladin, lady. you stood up to him better than any man here. don't spoil it by begging him. - as usual, mr. brawley's out of step with everybody. - not everybody, tom. now, i don't want you to bother her again. - you're asking me, of course. - i'll start with that. i'm asking you not to bother this girl again. - and if asking me to turn from what i figure is right... costs us about the last drop of friendship we got?

but if you force me to it, i'll pay it. - i'm sorry. - i'm gonna bring my missus down tomorrow she'll like you a lot, or she ain't the kind of woman i think i married. - from w wt i've seen in mrs. brawley, they have a lot in common.

- ain't enough to make him un-pin his badge.

im, but it all happened so gradual. - you knew, mister. every one of you knew. first thing you gave up was a piece of your backbone. you didn't feel it, you should've known something was wrong when you tried to walk, and all you could do was crawl. now, at the risk of being trampled to death in the brave rush to sign, who do i offer this thing to first? - go ahead and sign it, mort.

- miss ellis? it's tom carey. - ed and i'll get the rest of the signatures tomorrow. (tom) - miss ellis? - i... i'm sorry, but i've turned in for the night. - i i nt to talk to you. i, uh...

... i... well, ain't been exactly fair. maybe if we could kind of talk about it? - well, i-i'd be happy to talk about it tomorrow. - you're mighty pretty, ma'am. too pretty to be bad, i mean. i tried sleeping, but... i kept tossing... and tossing and thinking how... pretty wild. well, th-that's their way. and how they sort of... need someone to guide them. all l u need is a little help. and i think... well... maybe i ain't had the... practice at this fancy talk like some, but... maybe i seem a little old...

not interested. can't you understand that? - well, you said yourself that... everything you got is staked on your one chance here. now, suppose that... instead of going i ialone... there was... you... and me, sort of together. understand? well, you said you always wanted to be a lady. well, folks in this town will do anything i tell them. now... now, suppose i... i figure out that there wasn't anything... anything that was t...

(door slams) . not now. not alive. don't you know that? - we'll leave in the morning.

- we got eight more signgnures. are you sure that'll be enough? - where's miss ellis? i thought you were bringing her baggage. - the marshal's ininhere with her. you wouldn't believe it if you didn't see it. he's laughing and having himself a drink or two.

nonoush. marshal says this stage don't leave till he gives the word. - um, we'll get you a horse. you can get away while she's got him busy in there. - (miss ellis laughing) - well, i changed my mind. you just run on alone. now, you said he could go. we made an agreement. well, will you please leave here? we don't want you around. - that's a v vy nice try, miss ellis,

- i don't know what he's talking about. - then i reckon you won't mind if i kill him. after all, he has it coming... turning against me like he did, laughing at me when i came calling last night. i always let you draw first. whenever you're ready, paladin. paladin! paladin...

- you old fool! can't you see he's trying to save your life? why do you think i was hugging and kissing you? did you really think i wanted to hold a stupid old man like you?! (paladin) - tom... - i never killed a man before. - mm-mm. i could always beat him. i let him think he was faster because it pleased him. you can go ahead, driver. miss ellis won't be leaving after all, friend of min and i'll be staying on to make some arrangements

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

?? ??

- be a good boy, now. one for you. one for you. for you. and two for mother. - essentially, you haven't changed. a a ttle older. - well, age, doctor, is the price of living.

it doesn't erase the memories, but it does blur their image a little. - she must have been quite a woman. - not a woman, paladin. the woman. you didn't know aurora, did you? - no. - hmm. would you believe it? a few days ago, i had to l lve the bullet where it was, but the man's still alive, for a while at least. - well, doctor, those hands saved my life one time. and that is why i'm here. - how long ago was that war,r? - hmm. - a thousand years? for a little while, my hands had their old skill, and...

re because aurora lived here. she married somebody else. afterwards, all those years... i tended the bruises he put on her. he was the sheriff herer caleb tully. - past tense? - she died two years ago. he died... last week. almost 18 now. you see those mountains? he's up there, hunting the man accused of killing his father.

took life without compunction. he brutalized his wife and had a good start on his son. i want that son saved, paladin. for whatever of... her is in him. (glass clatters)

(gunshot) (gunshot)

ll, what you gonna do with me? - first of all, who are you, and why the fireworks? - you was following me, wasn't you? name's cardiff. noah cardiff. - well, i was trailing a boy. - that so? (groaning)

- you johnny tully? - what are you? one of that old buzzard's flock? - old eagle sound more like it, seeing as i trapped you so easy. f you are johnny tully, i'm here to take you home alive. - yeah, i'm johnny tully. uncle moody send you? - he did. - and he must have sent you after him, too, because he's a murderer! - he said you were trailing a man who was accused of murder. - yeah, i had plenty of reason to kill old caleb tully,

- (groaning) - he's like his pa. he's all temper. red to have you tied up when he whopped you or shot you. - well, now... how long you been walking around with this? - eh, a few days. who shot you, cardiff? - a man with a badge. - yeah, well, you listen to me. i'm wearing that badge now! you see that? and believe me, one way or another, i'm gonna see that you get what you got coming. - johnny, what's your r thority for wearing that badge? - the authority of taking it off... my dead pa's shirt. - now, i don't know whether this man's guilty or not. that's a matter for a court of law to decide.

- hey. you couldn't, uh, just let an old man have... have his gun, let him go on his way, mind his own business? - you worried about your conscience overtaking you? - having the likes of you and him overtake me

- what's the matter? this fire good enough for you? - i'm still worried about that conscience of yours. (coyote howling) - you hear something? - well, now, cardiff, just who do you expect? - well... business associates. - you have something of theirs? - course not. hey, maybe we ought to move out. this place is kind of exposed. - how many associates? - well, there's... canute, mule... sam, the apache.
