( no audible dialogue ) dealer: ace does the betting. $15, one time. 15? man: josh. well, hello, boone. what are you doing here? i gotta talk to you, josh. just let me finish up this hand, you hear? i'll wait outside. i'll be right with you. make it a quick one. ace is still high. all right, $20.

get a doctor.

well, that's about all we can do for you, young fella. thanks, doc. it... don't hurt so bad now. gonna be all right? boone: josh. here, josh? yeah, i'm here. josh, promise me something. what is it? take me home. oh, listen, boone, you're gonna be all right, you hear? promise me. i promise. and tell my dad

air fight. the judge and jury that convicted me, they's all members of the family. you know, you never did have much sense about when and where you picked a fight. as i remember it... neither did you. listen, boone, who did it? i don't know. somebody bushwhacked me last night. there's two of them. i'll find them. don't matter. you're gonna take me home. yeah, i'm gonna take you home. i...

i'm sorry, son. he lost a lot of blood. maybe if he'd gotten here sooner, i'd have been able to do something about it. you did all you could, doctor. ( sighs ) what do i have to do to, uh, claim his body? well, just leave your name and address. hiya, boys. something i can do for you? we're looking for a friend of ours. he was hurt real bad and headed this way. we figured he might have dropped in on you. maybe he did. i wouldn't rightly know unless i heard his name. um, boone morgan. yes, i remember. he was here this afternoon.

bad enough. he be coming back? not where he's gone. where's that? i'm not qualified to judge. you see, gentlemen, mr. morgan passed away this afternoon. oh. where's the body? why does that concern you? well, we understand that he's a wanted man and we wanted to see about some things. you two better talk to the sheriff. any answers should come from him. all right, doc. thank you for your time. oh, you boys find the doc? yeah, we saw him. sheriff: something else i can help you with? yes, sir.

he's dead, ain't he? what's it to you? fred: morley and i shot him. we've been trailing him two days since. i'd say that entitled us to the reward. the body's already been claimed. gonna be any money paid, i'd say it goes to the man that brought him in. who might that be? man named randall. where do we find him? that's the address he left. thanks, sheriff. of course, i could be wrong, but i'd swear that was josh randall. he used to live here a few years back. yep, it sure looks like him.

josh. josh randall! mr. morgan. boy, you've finally come back home. yes, sir. ellie, ellie! come see who's here. well, don't just stand there. come on in. ellie! ellie! what is it? josh! hello, ellie. it's been a long time.

it's about boone. well, he isn't here. yes, sir, i know. i... brought him home. - you mean he's here? - ellie, wait. where is he? out there. o lord, support us all the day long until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes. r of life is over, and our work is done. then in thy mercy, grant us safe lodging and a holy rest and peace at the last. earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust in the sure hope of the resurrection unto eternal life.

whoa. ld on. i'll take the horses on back to the livery stable. you'll come back, josh. thank you. but i thought maybe you and your father would like to be alone. you come on back, son.

( clicks tongue ) anybody here? i'm coming. i was forking down some hay from the loft. now, what can i do for you? do you know a man named randall? josh randall? yeah, i know him. why? we're looking for him. any particular reason? well, we figure he's got a little debt to pay. he shot a good friend of ours, boone morgan. oh, you're wrong, mister. josh and boone was real good friends.

reason: money. see, boone had a price on his head. it's no secret in this town that randall's a bounty hunter. now, where can we find him? well, he drove mr. morgan and his daughter back from the funeral, so i reckon he'll be coming along pretty soon to put his team away for the night. here, go buy yourself a drink. oh, i don't drink. then buy a real good cigar. we want to talk to mr. randall alone. mister.

oh, i got a message for josh randall, mr. morgan. all right, abel. i'll see that he gets it. there's one like it, come for the constable. i think you ought to read it. "ellis county authorizes a payment of $500 reward "to josh randall "for the apprehension of boone morgan, wanted dead or alive." ( horse team approaching ) josh: billy? is your name randall? bill bland? my friend asked you a question.

$500. i don't know what you're talking about. boone morgan had a price on his head. you claimed the body. he was a friend of mine. brought his body home. and took the money for it. ( sighs ) no. i, uh, didn't claim any reward. that's not what the sheriff back in kenton said. now you just give us the 500, and we'll leave. well, uh, why should i give it to you? 'cause me and morley killed him. for you. we ain't asking much. just the 500 we got coming. the folks in town ain't gonna like the idea you shot a friend for money. fred: and, randall, you try to leave town without telling us, and me and morley will get to you just like we got to boone. we want that reward money.

you hear me? one hour after dark. pa, what are you doing with that gun? i'm waiting for josh randall. why? he killed boone-- for reward money. so y're a h? that's not gonna bring boone back. you're too young to understand. maybe i am too young, but that's not my fault. pa, you raised me to believe that violence was a sin. now, in all my life, i've never seen you harm a human being. you're not gonna start now.

listen, mr.-- i suppose this is what you came for. it speaks for itself. - listen, mr. m-- - will you please go now? i left my gun here. i need it. listen, mr. morgan, and they killed your boy.

store's closed. you didn't lock the door yet. if i say it's closed, it's closed. i want to buy a gun, charlie. and i don't sell guns to killers. bill bland, i've known you for a long time, and all i'm asking you is to let me use your gun. your team's all hitched and ready to go. how much do i owe you?

i'm warning you for the last time. i represent the law in this town, and he hasn't done anything to break that law. well, law or no law, it just doesn't seem right to let him go free and clear. here's the money you came for, randall. now, go on, get out. if anybody's interested,

to back up that statement, would you? yeah, i'd like to back it up... if somebody will give me a gun. i won't need it very long. all right, that's it. gonna be any killing, you'll do it away from this town. now, all three of you, on your way. get out right now. ( doors swing closed ) you're making a big mistake, constable. get out! ( cocks rifle )

if you figure i could have killed him, then you better go ahead and use that. i don't know if you did it or not. i don't want to believe it. my father locked your gun up. this is his. it's loaded now, but i couldn't get any extra shells. if you have any doubts, why are you doing this? i lost boone. i don't want to lose you too. ellie.

i want you to believe that. oh, josh. ( hoofbeats ) - ellie. - hmm? you go on home now, you hear? - what-- - do what i tell you. - now go on. - all right. fred: randall. come on, randall. all we want's the money. you give us that, and you can walk out of here. randall?

now, you saw the way your friend died. now, you don't want to end up like that, do you?

r r josh, ellie and i have talked it over and we--we'd be more than happy to have you stay with us a while. thank you, but i've gotta be moving on. i'm sorry about... before. of what i thought. i don't know how to tell you. it's all right, sir. you did what you thought was right. we--we'd like you to feel the invitation is open. it's always open, josh. goodbye, josh.

?? (paladin) - i've been offered a dozen good ways to get myself killed since i came to this town. now i'm going to make a few offers myself. ??

- it's hard to realize it, signor paladin-- only last week he was fitting the same coat and now he's dead. - he was my friend for many years, gino. i'll miss him. of course, for uncle polo, the trouble is over. it is for angela that i worry now. - polo's little girl? - not so little, signore. a young lady now. we are losing the shop, signore. - you're losing this shop? - creditors-- it's only a matter of time. the arms, signore, raise it a little please. - gino, your uncle was a wealthy man. - si, signore, until he got into the mining business. when a tailor gets the gold bug, he's a sick one for sure. - i remember when your uncle bought the grail. he paid $40,000 for it.

always, signore, he was putting good money after bad. until the time of his death-- a pauper. (man) - whoa, whoa. - i'm expecting no one today. - gino? gino? - well, angela, what are you doing here? - gino, from out of the blue, an offer for the mine. i got it this morning. - from whom? - papa's foreman. he's interested some men in buying it. he says he thinks he can sell it for as much as $20,000. ere with papa's business papers. (clattering) probably the locked drawer of the desk. i'll... oh, signor paladin, scusa. this is my cousin, signorina angela de marco. - miss de marco, it's an honor. your father was a friend. - oh, he spoke of you so often, mr. paladin. you were his favorite client. the one whose taste was beyond reproach. - i know you'll forgive this intrusion,

- well, don't sell it too quickly, miss de marco. your father had faith in it. - so much so, it killed him. -but if you sell it without at least first investigating, your father's death will have gone for nothing. - what is there to investigate? - well, the circumstances of his death, for one thing. what was he doing down in that mine? - are you suggesting he was murdered? no... i don't know enough to suggest that. but i will say that the $20,000 offer one week to investigate the operation of the grail and the circumstances of your father's death. if in that time, i've uncovered nothing, then go ahead, sell the mine. - just how would you conduct your investigation, mr. paladin? if you are right, fancy clothes

- work. - well, try the blue eagle about a mile back down the road. i hear they're putting on men. - well, what's wrong with the grail, as long as i'm here? - that makes you a newcomer. well, there's a line a mile long waiting to get on at the grail. signed up all the way back to last april. well, thanks. - sure. ?? - what did he want? - what do they all want?

tom, in front of the blacksmith's shop. ed, around by the store, and pete, you better go with him. and remember, whatever you do, don't let him draw. (paladin) - i beg your pardon. did i interrupt something? - that's a good way to get yourself killed, mister. - you know i've been offered a dozen good ways to get myself killed since i came to this town? - what are you doing here? - i'm looking for a man named casey bryan. he's the foreman of the grail. - well, if i were, i'd probably know where to find bryan, wouldn't i? (gun clicking) - try all the saloons. he's got money enough for drinking. ain't nothing but grail men at the bars anymore. - the grail seems to be a hard place to get a job. - you try again tomorrow. there's gonna be a vacancy. - oh, i see. well, thank you very much, gentlemen. - all right, get in position,

i come for hannah, jockey. i got first claim. - i just bought off all claims, morgan. show him, baby. - you grail muckers think you can buy anything. - girl like hannah likes the finer things in life. you can't handle that on four bucks a day, morgan. - it isn't now. why don't you blue eagle gophers get smart? the only thing you're ever gonna rate is our leftovers. i'm taking hannah home. you're gonna stop me? that's just what we had in mind. (paladin) - now, jockey... how are things tonight? - looks like the beginning of a busy evening. - you keep out of this, mister. this a personal fight with the grail. - that a fact?

you got one, starting now. - you can have it any way you want it, gentlemen. i saw you out of the corner of my eye. that was a good draw. - thanks. - i figure i shaded you just a mite, though.

mister. anything you want, anything the jockey can ever do for you, you just name it. - well, i already have. what time do i report to work in the morning? - be there at 6:00. - thank you. come on, hannah.

(banging)

want a cave-in? - hey, you taking over here, mister? - there's a pole here that's cracked. looks like it's weakening. - jim, get some timber. hold that powder until i say. can't recall seeing you around here before. where you work? - here, there. i know about here, but where's there? - orofino, bingham canyon, big bonanza. you move around. you seem to know your stuff. - it's the only way to stay alive. i understand your boss didn't. - you understand what? - i understand your boss didn't know his stuff. he got careless around the dynamite. - it was just an unfortunate accident. could have happened to anybody. (creaking)

(man) - quitting time. everybody out. quitting time. everybody out.

- come on, get a move on. get moving. you got gold on you? any gold? how about you, any gold? any gold on you? - small filling in a back molar. - get moving. - that's all? - what do you want, a bag? get moving. got any gold on you, reed? any gold on you? - well, that's some inspection. - well, we have to take precautions. you never can tell when some thievin' mucker might try a little high-grade.

working as a miner. - i didn't expect to find you at all. you almost gave me away this morning. why did you come? - because i've had another offer from the syndicate represented by casey. - casey? - mr. bryan-- papa's foreman. he wired just as soon as you left san francisco. - offering to increase the price just as soon as you said you'd like to wait a while. - well, yes... how did you know? - because i've seen muckers getting rich on a mine that drove the owner into bankruptcy. you're being high-graded. - "high-graded"? stealing." - the miners take the rich ore-- almost pure gold-- for themselves. the low-grade ore-- they call it "company ore"-- that they load into the cars. - that's impossible. casey-- mr. bryan-- he personally conducts an inspection of the men every day. - i've seen the inspection. - what are you implying? i'm not implying anything. here. i'm stating flatly, mr. bryan is not to be trusted. - i trust him.

- miss de marco, you don't know that man as well as you think you do. - unless you can give me definite proof, i cannot believe your wild accusations. so, if you'll excuse me, i have an engagement. - all right, miss de marco. but we agreed i'd be here for a week. that means i still have a few days to work. and in the meantime, will you keep this in mind... be the man responsible for his death. ?? (dog barking) (casey) - jockey. - hi, casey. come on, i'll buy you a drink. - not now. you got a job to do. - what's the trouble?

eh, probably just slipped his mind. - i don't figure it that way. i saw him go into the hotel and checked on him. hew went to angela de marco's room. - a company spy. - you know what to do. get some of the boys out of the saloon. i will... but just for an audience. i ain't gonna need any help. ?? - [narrato you had a medical emergency away from home? - my chest hurts, i can't breathe. - [narrator] what you need is mobilehelp, america's premiere mobile medical alert system. most systems only work at home, 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 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. if you were to call 911, 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. 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, including this base station, the patented mobile device, and the waterproof pendant and wrist button. you can also add the fall button that automatically detects falls and signals help help even if your unconscious and unable to press the button. there is no equipment to buy and no long-term contract.

(jockey) - hold it, paladin. - well, jockey, what's on your mind? - a little matter of $25. - what for? - employment fee. $25 a day. hand it over. - well, i thought i'd pay that to bryan myself.

that's fine. now you can die with a clean slate. - what's the occasion? - a little party. the kind we give company spies. - you're a brave man, jockey, with that mob behind you. - this ain't no mob-- they're witnesses. - witnesses to what? - to the fact that you drew on me and i killed you in self-defense. - i saw you draw once, paladin. i figure i shaded you. you ready? - any time you say. (guns fire) fast... but not accurate.

see you tomorrow, at the grail. ?? - well, when your father told me what he paid for the mine, i advised him to get out as best he could. - i wish he'd taken your advice-- he'd still be alive today. ery true. but if the mine is a bad investment, why do these men wish to buy it? - well, the grail could be made to show a profit, if a great deal of money were invested in new equipment, and if it had professional management. with all due respect, miss angela, your father was an amateur in this business. - i understand. really, i hardly know what to do. - well, because of you, i feel a deep responsibility, so i got the investors to agree

- but only if you'll agree at once, so they can begin the new improvements. - $30,000, eh, bryan? don't bother to rise. $30,000 should just about cover two months' profit. $15,000 a month-- that's about what you're taking out of the grail, isn't it? - mr. paladin, what are you doing? what are you doing?! - well, i came to tell this man he needs a new collector. - i don't know what you're talking about. - of course you do. you need somebody to collect the $25 a day you charge the miners for the privilege in the grail, miss de marco, you figure it out. it won't take him long to get $30,000. - this man is insane. - not at all. miss de marco, there's no group of investors. bryan is planning to buy the mine for himself with money he's already stolen from you. - miss angela, there's one way we can disprove all this nonsense. - how is that? - i can show you the actual working shift in the grail. you can see for yourself

n? - i don't like it. - why not? it seems to be the perfect chance to disprove, or prove, your accusations. i think mr. bryan shows his innocence by inviting me to see the mine. - you show your innocence by even considering it. - i don't know what you mean. - your father got the same invitation. - mr. bryan, i accept your offer. - thank you for your confidence, miss angela. you'll be short $25 tomorrow. miss de marco, i quit. ??

run! there's dynamite back there! run! run! don't stand there! there's dynamite back there! it's gononnalow! he lit the fuse! there's dynamite back therere! run! get out of here! (rumbling) - what was that? - it looks like your friend, mr. bryan, had an unfortunate accident.
