why, you... you scared me. ople in these hills. i figured that i'm the only one. look, why don't you come over by the fire? it's a cold and rainy night. be down near freezing before dawn. there's hot coffee. i been prospecting, see, up and down these creeks for, oh, six months.

welll, i--i ain't got nothin' worth taking. honest i ain't. j-just a burro. you--you take the burro. i give it to ya.

all right, joe. randall, let me go. not a chance. look, i sent back the money, all i stole, all but the few bucks i spent. i'll make up the rest. i'll send it to you.

send it to the store. i'll get a job. look, randall, i ain't never done nothin' like this before. get in the stage, joe. is your prisoner comfy? oh, minor complaints. i'll do my best to keep his frettin' time short. what time you figure we'll get there? oh, midnight if this wet holds off. there's just the one stop at cameron for supper and a change of horses. i'd say we'd be at wilton by midnight easy. couple of fellas named kale and cox. howie kale? you know him? by name. they're wanted from here to snake and back for robbery and murder. but these posters are dead. caught him two weeks ago, cox with him. yeah, i know, but these two fellas broke loose from the deputies who was taking 'em down to yuma to stand trial. and they don't know for sure, but they believe this fella kale here took a slug of lead in that getaway. huh. quite a price on their head. $500. well, i reckon so. figuring on trying to bring 'em back yourself?

might be something for you, though, as soon as you're done with this one. wilton's right down there by the border. more than likely, that's where them two fellas will be heading for. might be at that. let's go. hyah! hyah! get on there. come on, red, get on there. ? oh, the hick that threw the pretty red brick ? ? he'll never throw another ? ? for calling me a son of a bear ? ? he now lies under cover ? ? above his head his hair red ? ? you can see it if you're rubber ? can't you shut him up? ? he'll never throw another ? ? ohh-- ? hey, nebro! what? would you cut out that moose call? moose call? i want you to know that-- hey, look out!

whoa. well, now how in the world did this happen? it was put there, nebro. take a look. nebro: it was kids. if you want my opinion, it's kids that done that, and i'll bet you a dollar to a dime they're right now hiding up in them rocks there a-watchin' and just a-laughin' till their little bellies is about to bust. well, this is hardpan here. josh! no luck, friend. down. take his gun. huh. lookie here. a lawman, huh?

i asked your name, friend. peter rabbit. tell him his name, kid. it's randall. randall? hey, the bounty hunter. oh, sure. i thought there was something funny about this gun. well, if this ain't a juicer. (scoffs ) a hundred fellas i could name like that would give their teeth to be in my shoes this minute. hoes they are, friend? know who's looking at you? tell him, cox. well, this here's howie kale. you don't seem to be too impressed. i'm impressed. he your prisoner? josh: yeah. what did he do? armed robbery. armed robbery? - is that a fact, kid? - yes, sir. sir? did you hear that, cox? sir.

wilton. where's that? about 60 miles down the trail. 60 miles, huh? that'd put it near the border. nebro: just up. well, if that ain't a juicer. come on, kale. let's finish up and get outta here. shut up. i'm thinking. thinking? what do you wanna think for? we got the horses, ain't we? how far you suppose we're gonna get? posse's crawling the back roads. main road's cluttered with freighters. all right, drop 'em. take the firing pin out of his gun. do what?

but he's still got his gun belt-- give it to him. you figured it yet? i'm your ticket. right to the border. you and the old man holding this stage on its normal run. anybody asks, you captured me. you're taking me into yuma. kid, you're just along for the ride, a drifter. yes, sir. cox, they don't know you, not like me, grab that winchester he's got up there and watch him. he may be old, but he ain't dead. - cox? - huh? gimme. now lookie here, howard, you said you wasn't gonna touch the stuff till we got to the border. gimme! gimme! all right, dad. now you.

yeah, sir. you, kid. ho!

ah! yes sirree, friend. everything purely normal, huh? hey, you never told me, kid. what was it? what? it was a hardware store. hmm. how much you take? it was banking day. about 400. 400? whew! your first time out? oh, kid, you got yourself a future. not by your lonesome. i don't say that. the business with randall here ought to prove that point. but with the proper guidance...

who can show you the way. i never really thought about that. what's there to think about, joe? now, you shut up. well, i'm on your side, kale. the only thing he's got to look forward to now is a couple of years in prison. he goes along with you, he's got the world on a string. and that $400? well, you won't be getting money like that out of hardware stores. banks more likely. that $100 reward on your head, well, it'll be more like 200 or 300. that's till you kill a man. but it's still a killing, and the reward and the number of men on your tail will be just a little higher. that's all out of you. and talk about sleep, joe. well, there won't be any sleep. oh, but there'll be other things like, oh, liquor. kale can tell you about that, can't you, kale? it won't help you sleep, but it'll take the numbness out of your bones and the fear of getting that bullet in the back of your neck. that's all, i said. shut up. well, that's the glory of liquor, isn't it, kale?

you got a mouth. you know that, friend? you got a mouth. nebro: whoa! we're stopping. whoa! what's wrong? - ah, some trouble. - where? well, about a mile down the road, there's a stage stand. it's a place called cameron. the old man says he always stops over there, you know, and he eats supper and changes the horses the horses. yeah, i should have thought of that. well, what should we do? should we drive right on through or what? no. no, we'll stop there. they'll be expecting it, especially for the horses. ride on through, they'll know there's something. what's there? the old man tell you? oh, no. there's nothing there. it's just a stage stand and this man and his daughter looking after it, that's all. all right. all right, we go in. play it just the way i said. i'm randall's prisoner, only you'll have that iron and i'll have this tucked away in my shirt.

n't know about that, kale. you see, if we go down there like that-- well, i do. i know. now go on up and tell him. well, all right.

howdy, sam, ellie. hello, nebro. got me thinking you're getting old, nebro. 20 minutes late. tree in the road. well, it weatherin' up back there? no, the weather's all right.

's riding shot for me. that so? since when they giving you cover on this run? - since me. - who's this? uh, name's howie kale. howie kale? the killer? yeah, i caught him up in the hills. i'm taking him down to yuma. figured mr. hall here would come along and help me on the job. yeah, i...i mean, i... howie kale. well, i guess you people will want some supper. i think i'll skip it, sam. skip ellie's stew? well, you know, my ulcer and all. llas, and your pa and me will go change the horses. i'll go with you and help you.

now you don't mind buying me a second bowl, do you, randall? seeing as you're gonna collect all that money on me. hey, kid, you ain't touched your stew. i'm not very hungry. oh, shame. me? best stew i ever ate. yes, sir, missy, you got a real talent. er tell you that? no? why, i'd say that was a grievous shame. wouldn't you say that, kid? pretty little filly like this all bursting with talent. nobody to appreciate it but the coyotes and cactus.

how much for the bottle, ellie? i don't know. i'll have to ask pa. a dollar something. well, uh, you keep the difference. a belt? my reward money, aren't you? first i gotta feed you, now it's my liquor. you won't miss it. oh, i don't know. it adds up. mr. randall? yes, mr. kale? i allow as i can make it rewarding to you. now is that a fact? you sure you won't have a belt, joe? i told you no. well, you're probably right,

we were talking about something here. oh, you're gonna reward me. don't fool with me, randall. now, listen, i'm not fooling with anything. it just seems to me that you want this pretty bad. now, this bottle cost me $2.00. now, to me that's a lot of money. now, what are you gonna give me in return? gimme that bottle. we're talking a deal here, kale. you're an old horse trader from way back, aren't you? oh, that's right. you never traded horses. you, missy? get me a bottle. if you do, you'll be out two bucks. my guess is he hasn't got a quarter in his pocket. now, things can happen, randall. the way they happen is up to you. i'm trusting you, kale. quite a rifle you got there, kid.

pointed it at the wrong man. it got him two years in prison. you ever been to prison, kid? one year's a lifetime, but two, oh... any time you're ready, mr. randall. l. yeah. are you coming?

that's it. all right, get the old man down. all right, pops. you come on down here with me. now, you've had a day, friend, really. well, it's a living. yeah, that's what i say. bound to make a man thirsty. wouldn't you say that, cox? yeah, i'd say he's thirsty. uh-huh. yeah. well, suppose you do the neighborly thing and take him down to the stream there and get him a drink. there ain't no stream down there. why, sure there's a stream down there, a-rushin' and a-bubbling. you hear it, don't you, cox? heh. yeah.

kale. kale, for the love of god, don't. what's he gonna do? well, yes, sirree. we're gonna have ourselves a real juicer. for a moment there, i had my doubts, you and that gun. the look on this fella's face when you put it back. mr. kale-- mister? what about that, randall? now, you don't find respect like that no more. kids these days, all punks, ks, think they're tough. i wouldn't bother to waste my spit on any one of them. except joe. yeah, joe's got respect. oh, not respect, kale. fear. he's afraid of you. lies. that's what you want, someone to fear you like you fear everyone else. i ain't afraid-- of no one, nothin'. of everything, even that old man. or else why would you have him killed? - lies. - then prove it.

( indian riders shouting ) raiding party. could be part of mangas colorado and his bunch. is one day ahead of us leaving lordsburg. you still think we can catch up with hod and that bounty hunter? when i said nobody was taking hod in for the price on his head, i meant it. ( indians shouting ) yeah, frank, i know, but... if the apache scouting party's all through the country, we're gonna-- you so scared you'd let that bounty man

( gunshots ) well, you can come out now unless you'd rather stay in there and fry. awful. just awful. yeah, well, let's get busy. well, come on, give me a hand now. now, just a minute, mr. randall. i don't have to take orders from you. now, look, mr. klingsmith, we don't have time to argue. now, those apaches aren't gonna send notice when they decide to come back. now, the quicker we can get outta here,

he said you were taking him back to ft. apache. did he tell you why? of course. he'd robbed a stage. yeah? well, he forgot one small detail. he killed two men doing it. never seen men who've died by violence before. well, worry about it later. right now, get the valuables out of his pocket. you'd rob the dead? now, look, mr. klingsmith, the driver and the guard have probably got family. they'd like to have their things.

you know where we are? we're in the middle of nowhere. we're about 20 miles to the relay station. if we're lucky, we can make it by dark. one swallow. we're gonna need that water. you said we'd reach the next station soon. as long as you can sweat, you're all right. you're not an officer of the law, are you? no, i'm not. i'm a bounty hunter and i bring back wanted men for the reward on their head. and the reward is usually the same whether you bring 'em in alive or dead. most of the time. well, i imagine you'll expect me to bear witness that you captured hod kreager. you really believe that's the only reason

( chuckles ) why bother? ( wood clatters )

how far is it to the next station? i figure about 20 miles. the trouble is, with mangus colorado out, every station between here and ft. apache is either gonna be burned out or the crew's gonna hightail it for the nearest cavalry post. then where can we go? well, that's what i was wondering myself. one thing's for sure, the apaches are gonna stand up and fight like the sioux. they're gonna have war parties all over this territory. and it's a cinch they're gonna be watching this road. then it's hopeless. now, listen, it's 100 miles on that road to ft. apache. across country. at a steady pace, we'll make it in a week. i've no choice but to do as you think best.

wait, listen. ( drums beating ) ( exhales ) well, we're just loaded with luck, aren't we? all bad. how far is it to the next water? i don't know. look out!

randall, look. not far enough. it's as far as we're going without water. maybe he knows where there's water. he knows, all right. it's the first thing an apache learns. he doesn't look like much, but this is his country. water. do you understand me? we won't harm you. tell us where to find water.

surely he can be made to talk. see that scar on his chest? it was made by a live coal laid on his skin. if he cried or yelled or tried to push it off, he'd be named a coward and treated like a squaw. what are you gonna do? you can't! you stay out of this. i won't let you torture him. well, i wasn't planning to, not the way you're thinking. agua. ?d?nde est??

- grab his arms. - but-- do what i tell you. your life depends on it. ( speaking native language ) i don't understand. i, uh, destroyed his secret medicine and made it plain i'd cut off his nose. he'd be dishonored and never be able to return to his tribe. why not? it's the worst punishment an apache knows: the brand of the coward. would you have done it if he'd refused to give in? you can't bluff an apache, mister. i'm learning that the apaches

klingsmith! the water's poisoned. i don't believe it! it's a trick. it's poisoned. you drink that, you'd be dead in an hour. we've got to find him. d. apaches. three of them. now you listen to me. we're in real trouble. if they got any idea we're here, we've had it. keep your head down. don't move, don't even breathe. another trick. you're gonna leave me here. shut up.

i thought you were gonna leave me. well, i hope you're satisfied, mister. the horses are gone, so now we have to walk. well, it's warm and it stinks, but it's water. why don't you leave me here? misery loves company and you're all i've got.

this man you were bringing in, hod kreager. did he kill someone you knew? a friend? no. never saw him before in my life. never saw hod kreager, either, for that matter. i met his brother once, frank. and the reward? it's a large amount of money? why do you wanna know? i'm trying to understand something. a couple hundred dollars, more than hod and his two brothers are worth put together. $200. and that's your only reason? you might say that. well, one of us better turn in. you sleep. i want to think. suit yourself, but if you hear any noise, wake me up.

hold it, randall. hello, frank. this is a surprise. i figured it would be. where's hod? he's buried, back where the apaches jumped the stagecoach. looks like you had a long ride for nothing. so hod's dead? well, frank, what about this fella here? put a bullet in his head. when they find their bones--

now listen to me. i'll keep firing. you go up behind those rocks. now get outta here. come on. ( gunfire continues ) ( gunfire stops )

your guess is as good as mine. they'll probably wait until daybreak. they'll be at us again. what'll we do? pray.

what does it mean? well, looks like we had a change of luck. that's a medicine lance. you know, i think we climbed up to a tribal medicine rock. represents something important to them, but they've pulled out, for good. the only thing that stands between us and ft. apache

( hoofbeats ) you want money for bringing men in. how much do i owe you? i expect nothing from you, mister, but if you ever talk to me like that again, i'm gonna walk all over you. i don't know. maybe it's because you don't know any better, so i'm gonna tell you something just once. most towns have got sheriffs and marshals. we're a long way between towns out here. there's not much law. men like hod kreager are free to do what they like, pushing people around, killing. somebody's got to stop 'em.

wait!

?? (paladin) - there's an irritating roughness about the way you people speak. makes me obstinate. if you want me to leave, you're gonna have to make me. ?? bridesville, folks.

(man) - come on, hit him! get him! come on, get him, get him, get him! - can't you finish him, peavey? (groaning) (groaning) - all right, break it up, break it up! - this murderin' indian is still keeping diseased stock. - then take your fight and fight it up in the hills where you belong. it's a public streets you're obstructing. and who shot that horse? - we told him it would happen. he can't say we didn't warn him. - you'll get this treatment 'til you get rid of every head of stock on your place. and i'm warning you, indian, ifne of our animals comes down sick, we'll see more than you just don't cross your boundaries.

there's sickness enough without you savages spreading more. - all right, come on, break it up, break it up. ??

?? - so you're the one that put it in my pocket. if i had the money to hire you, i would not be walking 20 miles to my place. i would have another horse. - throw your saddle over my extra one. i happen to be going your way. no obligation. - before i take a favor, it's only right i should tell you... ... if i had the money, i wouldn't hire you. i don't hold with men who follow the gun. - i agree, mr. whitehorse. it's not a practical profession. - i had 150 prime, healthy cows. now ten are dead and the rest ready to fall. i paid for them with sweat and blisters. - has the veterinarian looked at them? - can't get him to come out and have a look. i'm a mission indian, cherokee. an educated indian has few friends

i have to buy my stuff through the man who runs the pharmacy. he is about the only one who will admit we're human. my neighbors have such a tight quarantine around me, i... ... i have to sneak off my own place like a thief. you see how rich everything is around here? - this is land a man would fight for. - my father wore feathers in his hair, to learn to live and think like the white man. he said that was the only way we could have a home in our land. i met, married my wife at the mission. we have built our home... ... and will not be driven from our land like my father. (gunshot firing) that's joe peavey, the one i was fighting-- the one who killed my horse. - mcnally's foreman?

- the one you shot cost me $20. you're going to have to pay for that. - sure. i'll wait for you at the county line and hand it to you as you go across. you a friend of his, or are you just passing through? - you ask that like a man hoping for the wrong answer. - don't spook this man, peavey. he's a gunfighter. - you working for an indian? - he hasn't hired me yet. - you're just a half a mile from his boundary. you aim to keep going? (paladin) - i thought i'd look around. - it ain't that simple, mister. and he'll go down with a slug in his head. - that's a very unpleasant thing to contemplate, mr. peavey. - well, you just contemplate it anyway. no horse comes off that ranch, yours or nobody's. - they mean that. you'll lose two good horses. i'll walk the rest of the way. - you'll ride. you've used my horse for 15 miles. i expect a man who's done that to rub him down and ask me to sit at table, mr. whitehorse.

?? (cows mooing) - see? another one dying. i don't know what i'm gonna do. they just keep losing weight and dying. between this and mcnally, i don't know how much longer i can hold out. - his father and brother were scalped by the sioux 35 years ago. tell me... what has this to do with me?

- does a gunslinger come high, mr. paladin? - joseph... i like it here. i want to live here. i think that right now all we need is time. i think in time we'll find out what is sickening our cattle and-- and have us a healthy herd. and let the neighbors hate us if they must. - but we know that is their burden, martha. - joseph, if this man can scare them into leaving us be-- - i will hear no more of this talk! - joseph!

that. you carry your gun, but-- but you say it's for snakes and deadly things, and-- and not for killing people. well, good. that's what we were taught, and i respect you for holding to it, but... but they have put a circle of guns around us, and-- and what are we to do now? - i do not know. my father would've killed... but at the mission school, where i got my education, they taught me to think like a white man. now i'm confused. i do not know. - well, here is a white man who does. but this is rich land, and we will give you part of it if you will-- - this is martha's day to need forgiveness. she is carrying our first child, and she is easy upset. - i'm sure it'll be a fine youngster. i'm sorry, mrs. whitehorse, i don't care to own land. it's a thing that grows to a man's feet, and that's not the kind of a life i've chosen for myself.

driven from. - you told peavey he'd have to pay for that horse he shot. i don't mind taking over that debt, and i'll trade you the horse you rode home on. - but that is a fine horse. you are cheating yourself. - i may ask peavey to throw in something else of value. thank you for your hospitality. ?? - hold on, which one are you aiming at? - the horse... but what if i hit the rider? do you know anybody who'd start crying? - he's not even trying to ride off the ranch yet. - well, suppose he tries and makes it? what do you think we're here for?

- get out of here! go on! hyah! you did that shooting? - this here's the indian's boundary. we warned you clear enough. - i remember. now i'll use one of your horses to get me back to town. - you lay a hand on that bridle, you injun lover, and i'll... happened. he'll find me in town.

- yes, sir? a lovely sight. - what if i ask you to test it? - mister, i've got enough stuff in bottles and jars to test every substance known to man, with the possible exception of the local mentality. - well, that's what i wanted to know. - of course, there's always this way. wish i had a thousand like it. - keep that one for a starter. - you're kind of generous for a stranger. you just passing through? essed. - that's careless talk, mister. i understand mcnally is a big man around here. - mister, i've watched your friend being big around here for about five years, and i'm getting tired of it, and you can tell him so. now, what can i do for you? - do you know the whitehorses? - you mean our thieving, scalping, overeducated local indians? i do... and before you say your piece, let me inform you this is the only store in town that'll do business with him and proud to say it. now, what's on your mind?

we begin with the word "suppose." ?? - mcnally. - that's peavey's horse, all right. well, let's have a look at this gun shark. - mcnally, he's fast. - go on back to your ranch if you feel your saddle slipping. there's enough of us here to slow him down. (paladin) - gentlemen. - you pistol-whip my foreman, steal his horse? - i disciplined your foreman, mr. mcnally. as to the horse, peavey owed joe whitehorse for one he shot. i took over the debt and settled it. - you working for whitehorse? what kind of men are we breeding, taking wages from an indian? - i couldn't get a dollar out of him. he doesn't have one. that's why i'm here.

the way you people speak. it makes me obstinate. you want me to leave town, mr. mcnally? well, you're the loud spokesman for this community. wouldn't you like to try? - i'm an honest man. i'm not a gunfighter. - well, gentlemen, we've established one interesting fact. if i do lease my services to joe whitehorse, we know exactly how you'll react. - if you're not with the indian, what are you deviling us for? - i want to be hired. - we're doing fine by ourselves. ork while you try to starve him out? - he don't have to starve; he can sell me his place. i offered to buy him out the first day i knew what he was, but there's nothing more stubborn than an educated indian. - did you offer him a profit? - i offered him what he paid for it. - ask anybody. - i'm asking you. does the offer still hold? - yeah... if somebody can make him take it. you saying you can? - all you have to decide is how willing you want that indian to be. - well, boys?

me? kelso's in with the rest of us. let's go open a bottle and talk. - i thought you wanted action. - well, good. get on out there right away. - no, mcnally, first you go to the bank and withdraw certain funds. i'm sure joe whitehorse will want to be paid off in cash. - that's a lot to trust you with. - i see your point. well, you may carry it, and, mcnally, carry an extra 2,000. - $2,000? - that's right, my fee just went up. - how much money do you think i've got? - how much do you hate indians... especially the educated variety? - all right, i'll go to the bank.

(bell dinging) - well, you look like a happy man. - five years i've been dozing among these backwards heathens. five years with the most complete laboratory in this territory gathering dust, and all the while pleading with 'em to submit their problems to the analysis of modern science. not a chance... not with a mcnally telling 'em how to think. science has absolutely no standing in a community where they still bury chicken heads yeah. here we go. - i'm only guessing at what we're looking for.

- they're waiting, mr. whitehorse. you've already overtaxed their patience. - perhaps you did not understand me, mr. paladin. when i said i was stubborn, that meant i would not be pushed off my land. i'm staying here. - i already told mcnally you'd sell. - then tell him you were mistaken. - why are you doing this? why should you force us off our land? is-- is it the money we can't pay you? t's my considered opinion that this land should belong to mcnally. - and what if that is not my opinion? what if i were to say i were not afraid to stand up to that gun of yours? - well, now that would make everything very uncomfortable for me. - you're no better than the others. you wouldn't turn on us if we weren't different. we didn't come here to hurt anybody. the mission didn't teach us to hate and to kill.

and those that come after, and you know that about us. you know we want to live. it's our strength that makes us move on, not yours. all right, sell it, joseph. give them their bill of sale, and let's get out of here. - there. now you have earned your money. - thank you. i'll tell mcnally he can take possession. - but just give us time to pack and leave so we don't have to look at him. - i don't think he'll be here

all right, boys, you know what to do. fire! (gunshots firing) (cows mooing) - they're killing them! did you know he was going to do this? - i didn't think even mcnally was that stupid. - oh, when will you meet a gun faster than yours? - all signed and delivered, huh? - it's your ranch and you're killing your own cattle. - ah, filthy, disease-ridden critters. how'd you make out with the indian? did he pull his tomahawk?

got no use for a critter that hangs on when he knows he ain't wanted. - here is your ranch. i have the feeling you were itching for it even before my cows took sick. - whitehorse, you learn something from this business. you indians have reservations all over the country. that's where you belong. and forget your fool education and go on back to your tepee. - there's one item we don't want to forget-- $2,000. right now, mr. mcnally, perfectly. - you needed a gunslinger to get rid of us. we'd have had the land yet if it weren't for him. - i did you a great service, mrs. whitehorse. this land is useless. it's poisoned. - poisoned? poisoned? - don't ever try to pasture cattle out here, mcnally. they'll die. - you telling me what i can do? if that disease is in here that thick, i'll burn this place to the ground.

there's a particular element that sometimes occurs in excessive amounts. when that happens, it affects the vegetation and that's what we have here. - but you said poison. - almost as bad as poison. when the cattle eat that vegetation... - right here on our land? - on mcnally's land, almost all of it. - there's no such thing. - i'm sorry to say there is. i saw this cattle sickness once before down on the san joaquin range. - there's no poison in dirt. i've lived on the land all my life. dirt's dirt. - except when it's called soil and then it becomes a particular thing. the particular thing that you bought would have ruined these people in just a short time. - what kind of hogwash? do you believe this? - is this what you were tending to over at rheinhart's? - he's an excellent chemist. - i never heard of such a thing in all my life. - well, it's not particularly new. molybdenum has been known for centuries. it looks somewhat like white iron. it can be found anywhere in the world. as a matter of fact, pliny wrote about molybdenum when he was in the employ of the emperor nero. now there was a man of prejudice. he kept lions for the people he didn't like. - what the blazes are you talking about? and talk english.

mr. mcnally now. the criminal is called... ... molybdenum. hereafter known as "mcnally's folly." and you shouldn't have killed those cattle. you could have saved them. - paladin, let me understand one thing. you knew about this all along? - let's say i suspected it. - when you took my money? oh, you've been had, mcnally. this land is useless to you. and you better have rheinhart check every acre in this valley. - all right, i've been out-traded. but i don't lose all. you're still leaving here. - i do not want your money this way. - it's been in your hands, i wouldn't touch it. but this fella, he's got some money i don't mind taking back. and i mean to take it. - ease up, clyde. so you went over the saddle.

it slows the hand. get outside. outside! - if you're looking for some land to buy, i have a section you might care for. we will see you in town. - no, drop by the house. you'll meet my wife. ?? - [narrator] what if you had a medical emergency away from home? - my chest hurts, i can't breathe. - [narrator] what you need is mobilehelp,

but with mobilehelp, you get help outside the home with coverage nationwide on one of the largest cellular networks at the press of a button. - i couldn't dial 911 because i was out of it. i just pushed the button and when i woke up i was in the hospital. - i don't have to worry about if i'm near help or if i even know where i am. i have mobilehelp, they know where i am. - i have a number of health issues. they would not know what your issues are. mobilehelp has all that on file, so the emergency responders already know what my needs are. - there are things i wouldn't do if i didn't have mobilehelp. - mobilehelp is a lifesaver, literally and figuratively. - with mobilehelp, i feel safe. i feel secure, and i have my life back. - [narrator] call the number on your screen for a free full-color brochure. we'll send you everything you need,

the close ones don't count. - oh, i don't mean mcnally. this was going to be my last word to you. - but, martha, i never keep that gun loaded. (laughing)

?? - this gun says there will be no lynching here. there's earth enough to bury every man

- here you are, mr. paladin. as you designed it, in almost solid platinum. - that's very nice. i know how difficult platinum is to work with. it requires great heat. - yes, sir. the combination of rare metal and great skill makes that quite an expensive ornament. - nqturally. leave your bill at the desk. - leave the... - thank you, mr. paladin. good day, sir. - uh, mr. paladin-- he's, uh, wealthy? - here. always i bring mr. paladin newspaper from every place. him big tipper. - oh.

- quite all right, sir. this is his permanent residence. - his, uh, credit? - you must be new to san francisco. no one questions mr. paladin's credit. - uh, he's engaged in business here? - he must have investments all over the west. he's always going away on business trips. - oh. (thinking) - "bartholomew holgate wanted for murder "by the town of bender in wyoming territory "was captured in the foothills "south of sacramento this morning. "holgate pleaded with the local authorities ender. "the prisoner stated that he would be turned over to a mob which would lynch him." - everything taken care of, mr. paladin. it's a pleasure to do business with a gentleman of taste. - "bartholomew holgate...

(whistle blowing) - get out of my way! - you seem to have gotten tangled up n half. i ought to pull the trigger and finish it right here. thanks, mister. give me them irons. - you can't blame me. he was taking me back to be lynched. - uh, you don't deserve better. i step out for a minute, and harry here tries to make you more comfortable. you kick him in the head and take off. - i'll not be making mistakes of kindness again. - you, i take it, are bartholomew holgate.

- who are you, mister? - my name is paladin. your name, sheriff, is... - swink. and this young fella, who's liable to blow a hole in you, is my deputy, harry dill. what's your business here? - that remains to be settled. what makes you think you'll be lynched? - the town was named after max bender. the benders are well-liked. it was his son caught my bullet. - i'll tell you what i'll do. i'll guarantee to deliver you alive to stand trial. - all right, paladin. i'll see you get your money the moment i step in the courtroom. - and what do you think the chances are of my employer here being lynched? - i think they'll try it. - will you stop them? don't ask him. - i didn't hear your answer, sheriff. - it'd be a cruel, hard decision. - then we are on the same side.

"'tis not what man does that exalts him but what man would do." and we three would do right. - well, maybe that poet don't mind failing, but me, when i put my hand to a thing, i like to know it's going to be done. - "a man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?" that's browning again. - max, amy. how'd you know we'd come in on this train? - we waited on all the trains. i wanted to see the man that killed my son. - he's going to get a trial, max. - my brother didn't have a trial. - amy...

killed your brother will have a trial, miss bender. - who are you? - my name is paladin. - holgate hired him to see that he ain't lynched. - so the gunfighters are all for law and order if the price is right. - you don't buy law and order, miss bender, you fight for it. - once you have it, you don't throw it away. - your father knows how hard law is to come by. - all this talk won't change the writing on my brother's tombstone. your neighbors will come for this man, sheriff... and you'll do what's right.

- go tell your ma you're home, harry. - i'll be back if trouble breaks.

now you've got the honey in the hive, the bees will be swarming around soon enough. - sheriff i'll bed down in one of your office cots until the trial. - all right, but i'll be using the other one. - greetings, gentlemen. - you didn't lose any time, did you, coombs? - my client and i must start preparing our defense. and mind you, sheriff, i expect you to deliver us only to the court. - exactly. - who's he? - oh, let's say i'm a deputy to assist the sheriff. i hired his gun. he'll see to it i get to the courtroom. - and you see that your attorney turns the fee over to the person i choose. - i'll tell him. - right now, we'd like privacy. my client and i must discuss the case. - go ahead.

i have been examining our case. talking to the witnesses. searching for legal precedents. - can you get me off? - no. however, we might make a case out of the fact that you assumed young bender to be armed. - what does that get me? - 10 to 20 years. perhaps life. - that won't hardly do, see. - i see. now, bart, we can merely present our defense. - can we buy one? - no, no. not in the present situation. - then i'd better not stay around for the trial. - well, you're safer in this cell than you would be outside. if you fell into the hands of those townspeople... - the town can help me out of this mess. yeah. let them coming roaring up to the front of the jail

- and swink, that kid, and paladin will be out there trying to hold them off. there'll be gunplay and noise aplenty. - there'll be that, too. - let's see. i still got a couple of friends-- william and keith. they still around? - yes. they signed on at the circle x ranch. - well, uh... have them ride into town. - that's amy bender's doing. - she'll keep stirring the pot till it boils over. - she was always such a nice, quiet girl. i never suspected that there was a streak of pure meanness under it all. - meanness, mr. coombs? hardly. amy bender hates and with good cause. it's frustrating for a woman to hate like this. she can't strap on a gun

- well? - miss bender, i wonder if you'd hold some money for me. you're not to give it to me until holgate steps into the courtroom. if he dies before that, return it to mr. coombs. - you think i'd hold your blood money? - blood money for keeping a man alive? (mr. bender) - i'll hold that money for you. - thank you, mr. bender. - well, uh, you don't need me anymore. - if you won't help us, who needs weapons? - lend me a shotgun, amy. a double blast to the belly oughta cut a man in half. - that man wouldn't be any deader than one with a .45 slug between his eyes. - yeah, you're a big man with a gun, ain't ya? - and you're a big man with a crowd.

- stay away from the jail. - don't try to stop us, gunfighter. there's room for another noose out there. - so there is. and earth enough to bury every man

- how's it been? - quiet in here. it ain't building up on the street? - small groups, big talk. - nothing'll happen tonight. they'll wait till word reaches the ranchers in onestas. i make it the party'll break tomorrow night.

don't want you dozing tomorrow n nht. (laughing) - holgate seems to be in a happier frame of mind tonight. - he's got no worries. we're supposed to look after him in jail, and coombs'll look after him in court. - sheriff, i've got an idea holgate can look after himself. is there anyplace around here i can lock this up? i wouldn't want it handled too much. - thank you. - what you got in that bag, anyhow? - just some of the tools of my trade. - some of the... uh-oh. lookie here. what have we got now? - so? - well, there's mcheath and his friends. that's fred coombs's place. what would he be wanting with holgate's lawyer? - sheriff, if you want to sit up tonight

. - what's that? that extra horse? a man came by and said you wanted to see e . - now that you've had a night to sleep on it, come up to change my position, miss bender. - something might. - for instance? mr. paladin... i don't want anyone hurt. i just want holgate to pay for my brother's death. - so far, no argument. i believe sheriff swink can be persuaded not to shoot at his friends. in that case, no harm will come to him. and the same goes for his deputy. - that's a lot of believing, miss bender, but go ahead. - that leaves just you. you're liable to kill somebody and be killed in turn.

what if i gave you more money to leave town now? inite offer, i take it? - cash. i'll get it for you. - don't dodohat. switching sides for money? that's most unethical. i'm afraid not. - but why? - have you ever seen a lynching, miss bender? - no. i imagine it... - your imagination would fall far short of the truth. no matter what holgate's done, he won't be handed over to feed the animal instincts ofof mob. what's the matter, is your conscience acting up? nt anyone hurt except holgate. - that's the trouble with a lynching, miss bender. you can't have it ordered up all neat and dainty like a yard of flemish lace. it's something that t wards get whiskeyed up and mumble over, winding up with screams in the gutters of a dark night. - there's nothing you can do to stop it! - it's all set, amy. we'll start tonight from here.

ing? - i'm just wondering what you're thinking. - mob's about ready to move. - paladin! - coming. - moving up this way. - looks like everybody's here. i'd say we're all set. you wait here, amy, we'll bring him to you. you can put the rope around his neck. you change your mind, max? - yes. - what are you going to do, dad? - i'm going to the jail...

on there, max. you're a little turned around, ain't you? - you know, when i first came here, there was nothing. that was good. i wanted to start my family out in a place where there were no guns and no vigilante l l. then you people came. the town started to grow... but it was still good... because right from the very start, we had the law and we had decency. and now you... you want t twipe all of this out in just one night. - don't you ususmy boy as an excuse! - why, you... give me that gun. you better stay here and take it easy, max. - it's all right. the sheriff will give me another rifle. - dad, don't! - come on, men, let's move. - oh, amy... amy, what have you done?!

- no, thanks, sheriff. - we might as well stand 'em ofoffrom in here. harry, you take 'em from this window here. (harry) - oh, list. (overlapping shouting) (man) - bart! bart... bart! - hand me the rope. tie it round the saddle. pull the bars out when the fight starts.

- let us in there! (overlapping shouting) (banging on door) - get it tight. get back! i'm warning you! - come on, he's shooting high! let's get in there! (clamoring) - i'm not shooting high next time! - why break any more doors open when you can dynamite them open? here. you want this?

get out of here! (shouting) - that crowd won't collect again. mob courage is a momentary thing. once it's gone, it's gone for good. - if they were as scared as i was, they're s sll running. - i nearly joined them. - hey, there's the leaders. if we grab 'em, we can t t this thing up. hey, you, stay right where you are! come on, harry, let's get 'em! (horse neighing) - something's gone wrong. keep your gun handy.

you're good. very good. - that's what you paid me for. - ththe's no call, your mixing in this. just collect your money and forget about it. u walk into that courtroom. you hired me to see to it. - look, i'll see you get $1,000. just walk away. - well, that wouldn't be ethical. i can't take another job until i finish this one. - don't be a aool! - i won't be.

- we mustn't lose heart now. our situation, while difficult, is not impossible. - oh, shut up. (amy) - mr. paladin. this is yours now. - thank you. - let's go. - you know, mr. paladin, nearly everyone in this town is grateful to you today, - i'm admitting it. - and with such a long face? and confused. why did you want me to hold your pay? - because it's an honest face as well... but is it never a smiling face? - oh, , y can smile up a storm. eh, time was when she was all smiles and giggles and folderol. - folderol, too. - i deserve to be made fun of. - there's a smile,

ust verdict. - it will be. after the trial, holgate'll climb on a horsrs he'll fall off that horse while riding under a tree. his feet won't touch the ground,

what you got lined up for today? >> depends on the rain, would've full heavier not. >> yeah, what you got planned? >> i got those mustangs in the south section you wantnte to bring in and chew them -- and shoe then. >> i sent pedro. what else you got?

>> you looked busy so i sent him. >> i am not that busy, ain't no problem, but this kind of thing happened before. >> what kind of thing? >> i mean, it would have been more polite if you had told me. >> politer? >> then i could have told pedro because i was in charge. >> i don't know the slightest >> the boys are laying that fence line. i am going to check that out. >> what have you got besides that? >> nothing. >> good. that will give you time. >> for what? >> i've got something for you to do around here when you get back. >> i'm sure you do.

him to take it easy on that heard. i don't want them busted up on those rocks. >> yeah, sir, i will tell him. yes, sir. i will certainly tell him. >> how is it coming, joe? >> should have those ready by the end of the day. how deep are you digging them? 18. didn't i tell you two feet? >> yeah, well -- . >> i said two feet. >> you said 18 inches. >> -- your's said 18 inches.

>> last night. >> you got it right from the horses mouth. you dig than 18 inches, you got that! i'm going to give you a show. you will may be dig me a whole two feet will crawl your next. -- crawl in it.

>> anything wrg, buck? >> i don't know. i think you are moving them horses a little too hard. >> big john told me to move them in. >> i don't remember.r. i think he did tell you that.

>> they'll be sorry, i'm happy with it. >> move the herd slowly! >> i want a complete inventory so we can finally get it straightened out once and for all. >> i will take care of it. >> pedro is coming in with the horses. looks like buck is with him

right to work on those horses. as a matter of fact, give this to buck and have him take care of it. >> sure. >> you sure got back early. >> i'm sorry for running the horses so fast. what's that it -- >> that is not a bad thing to do. i have been checking the number of horses we have to reshoe and we would never have gotten through them quick. >> buck he is not angry.

>> listen, big john has a job he wants you to do. >> he always do. what kind of job? >> sweeping up the tap room. >> straightening up the tap room? >> yeah. >> well, not that i was going to help him shoe? >> no, me and pedro are going to do that? >> as soon as i and saddle my horse and make him comfortable, i will do that. what's the matter. have you got an itch? >> no.

>> 30 years in the saddle and i'm cleaning up my room. >> you forget sothing? >> yeah. >> well? >> >> well, what is he forget? >> i forgot to give you a list of what john wants. >> big john sent me a list? >> he wants to know the number and condition of all the saddles and rose -- >> where is big john? it's like this is a a aecko full joke.

>> can't you close the door without shaking the entire house? >> i am sorry about that, brother john. i got my mind somewheres else. didn't mean to bust your concentratum. this must take an awful small man to know what they man. you are an important man, ain't you? that is why they call you big john. then they ought to call me little buck. >> i absolutely don't understand. >> i am starting to feel terrible small right now. so small that you don't see me standing right here. >> are you going to tell me what is wrong? >> m.i.t. me a long time.

what is all the excitement? >> you must treat me like i don't know what i do and you've got to spell it all out for me, write it down like i am some dumb that has to be led by the nose. >> i don't know what this is all about. >> i know that. that is what makes it even worse. >> did i insult you? >> wrenching. that is nothing that i don't know. but not according to you. i am put in charge of something and suddenly i am not in charge. and you are changing my orders without beinin told. finally, i get my chance to clean out a tack room and i can't do it without no list!
