00:00The End
00:30Let's go.
00:31Let's go.
00:32Let's go.
00:33Let's go.
00:54Lannings.
00:55Lannings.
00:56Coffee.
00:57I was dreaming.
00:59Come on.
01:00It's getting cold.
01:13It's still dark.
01:14Are you really in such a rush for Mr. Hanley's reward?
01:17It'll be dawn pretty quick, and I want to get across to Strother before noon.
01:20Strother?
01:21The river.
01:25Do you know in San Luis, before you caught up with me, of course,
01:28I used to sleep every day till noon, and then two servant girls would come in with silver breakfast trays, the plaza, a fresh shirt, music, shade, cool drink, and then the nights.
01:45But you want your money, and Hanley and company wants his pound of flesh.
01:50But for a little while, I lived where an emperor once slept.
01:54I'm sure you did, Lannings.
01:56Roll up this gear.
01:57You did, Lannings.
01:58Shoes.
01:59Pulled off that kind of stuff before I made this behavior.
02:00Who knows?
02:01Who knows?
02:02You think...
02:03Go, let's check every head.
02:04Go, let's roll this gear and roll this gear.
02:05Let's go.
02:35Hello?
02:44Passengers for the ferry?
02:48Looks like we're going to have a wait.
03:05We're going to have a wait.
03:34What do you want?
03:54I haven't got any money left.
03:55Ask him.
03:56The money he was after, he'd have killed us before this.
03:58Only quietly and efficiently, like the boatman.
04:03The little gun, please.
04:06Look, it's all gone.
04:13Don't!
04:14Don't!
04:15I'm a very nervous man.
04:16You better tell him not to make any sudden moves like that, or he won't be alive when the
04:23man who hired me gets here.
04:25You've got to get me back to San Francisco.
04:26I'm your prisoner.
04:27You've got to take me back.
04:28It's your duty.
04:29Shut up!
04:30Shut up!
04:36What do you say is true?
04:37You are a lawman?
04:43Huh?
04:44A gunman, huh?
04:45That's better.
04:50Palladina.
04:51My name is Devereaux.
04:57My name is Devereaux.
05:14You see, it's not...
05:43You see, it's not, Tinsley.
05:47Over there.
06:06Is he... is he outside?
06:09Who?
06:10My husband.
06:12He's about my heart.
06:14He's more like this.
06:16He's got a scar on his cheek and dark eyebrows.
06:18And he's got a sea captain's cap.
06:21Yeah, he's out there all right.
06:23He's trying to make us sweat.
06:26He's gonna watch while you do his dirty work, boy.
06:30Just keep back over there.
06:31Well, you got a right to know what you're doing with us here.
06:34Remember the boatman?
06:36Carl, come back. He's gonna pull the trigger.
06:38Stop kidding. He'll pull the trigger.
06:40Come back.
06:43Sure.
06:44You'll remember the boatman.
06:48We should've taken passage on that boat. He'd have never caught us.
06:50It's too late for that now, Carl.
06:52How long you been here?
06:54Since morning.
06:55He killed that man at the ferry.
06:57And then he put us in here without telling us anything.
06:59Except that we was to wait until somebody was to come.
07:02And then he come.
07:04And then you.
07:09Ambush you here at the ferry, too?
07:13That means they've trapped everybody that came up the trail trying to cross the Stratham.
07:16What'd he tell you?
07:19Deverell?
07:21Just that he's being paid to hold us here for somebody.
07:29Your husband was a sea captain?
07:31A sea captain?
07:32Oh.
07:34He'd hold garbage from Galveston as the breakwater.
07:37And he'd come on smelling.
07:39Where were you going?
07:41He was going to St. Louis.
07:43Have you ever been there?
07:45Carl told me all about it.
07:47He said that there was a theater there with gold pillars and seats all covered in velvet.
07:52And the women came to the theater at night and they wore lace shawls and long taffered dresses and suede boots with little pearl buttons on them.
08:02That's the first thing I was going to get was a lace shawl with tagging on it.
08:06And lilies, maybe.
08:08Or roses.
08:10Ah.
08:14Do you know how old I am?
08:16I'm 28.
08:18Twelve years like a stoning kid.
08:19If his meal wasn't hot enough.
08:22Or his bed wasn't made.
08:24Or there was a 10 cent piece missing that I couldn't account for.
08:28But he could come home drunk.
08:30He could gamble the food away.
08:31He could fall down on the porch and get sick all over his fancy gold braid.
08:36Sarah, Sarah.
08:37But I'll never go back to him.
08:39I don't care if he kills me.
08:41Well, don't say that, honey, Sarah.
08:42You can explain it.
08:43You can tell him that.
08:44Tell him what?
08:45Tell him it was a mistake.
08:47Carl.
08:49Oh, Carl.
08:51Why doesn't he come and get it over with?
08:54He will.
08:56But you don't really know who it is that's coming.
08:59They don't, but I do.
09:08Blackfoot.
09:10An Indian?
09:12No, he's a white man.
09:14But he lived with the Blackfeet.
09:16He thinks like they do.
09:18And he kills like them, too.
09:22And what's he want with you?
09:23Just a crazy savage, that's all.
09:27Look at him.
09:29Watch him how he grins.
09:31Look at the way his finger keeps tapping on that gun.
09:33The only reason he ain't killed us yet is because Blackfoot told him not to.
09:37That's how I know who's coming.
09:38Then you know more than I do, soldier.
09:39You don't know.
09:40I don't care.
09:41I get paid.
09:42I do a job.
09:43Well, if you think I'm gonna wait here and have him peel my hide off in strips, you're not very bright.
09:45Remember the finger and don't push your luck trooper.
09:48Oh, if I'd have got across the strat, I'd been there halfway to Denver by now.
09:52First itch, I had me an old colonel I used to dog rob for.
09:55Used to get himself a suite down at the Brown Palace
09:56and just walk in to the back of the street.
09:58You know what?
09:59You know what?
10:01You know what?
10:02You know what?
10:03You know what?
10:04You know what?
10:05You know what?
10:06You know what?
10:07You know what?
10:08You know what?
10:09You know what?
10:10You know what?
10:11You know what?
10:12You know what?
10:13You know what?
10:14I've got a boy.
10:15Let me go.
10:16Open up.
10:17I've got to buy yourself a suite down at the Brown Palace
10:18and just live like pure royalty.
10:20That's what I was figuring on.
10:22Woo-wee!
10:23I'd have had me a snorting time, wouldn't I, though?
10:26You think Blackfoot's gonna pay you?
10:28That's what he told you, sure, but he ain't.
10:31Because he ain't got nothing to pay you with.
10:33I'm telling you the truth.
10:36$140 trapping money is all he had.
10:39You let me go and I'll take you to where it is.
10:42What's the difference whether I pay you or he does?
10:45It don't matter none to you.
10:48Look, the money's in Santa Fe.
10:50I'm a little ahead of me there.
10:55Blackfoot told you I messed with his squad, didn't he?
10:58Well, it ain't true.
11:01I never laid a hand on her.
11:04She came in on me while I was getting the money.
11:08I had to kill her.
11:10There wasn't nothing else I could do.
11:13It was her fault.
11:15You see that?
11:23You never seen the way the Blackfeet kill a man.
11:26A man's dead is dead.
11:29See, Mitchum?
11:31He's gonna kill every one of us.
11:34Well, there's one of him and five of us.
11:40You said you were a gambler.
11:42Those are good enough odds, aren't they?
11:54Now, hold it!
11:57You ever see the pattern a gun like that makes he's got two shots in there?
12:01He'd cut you all three down before any of you took another step.
12:06What are we gonna do then, just nothing?
12:08That's right, nothing!
12:10I know your sort, Paladin.
12:13I guess maybe you know mine.
12:16They've all got something to be scared of.
12:19They're all running!
12:21But not you.
12:23You're gonna take your time.
12:25You're gonna pick the soft spot in me.
12:28And then make your move, huh?
12:31Let's settle it now.
12:46Here.
12:47Here, go ahead.
12:48Go ahead.
13:01No stomach for it, huh?
13:14Well, now, Devereux, I have found your soft spot, haven't I?
13:20It has to play off your way, doesn't it?
13:24But you won't turn the wheel unless it's fixed.
13:28How many alleys you waited in, Devereux?
13:31How many men you shot in the back?
13:34Now, this time you may be miscalculating.
13:39I'd never miss.
13:41That's why I'm alive.
13:43Oh, you won't miss this time.
13:45You'll hit me.
13:46But I'm fast, Devereux.
13:49I'm very fast.
13:52And there's just a chance my finger might close over that trigger while I'm falling.
13:58Maybe, just maybe, the shot'll hit home.
14:03Odds are all on your side, but it isn't foolproof.
14:07Not like clubbing a man to death.
14:10Not like putting your gun to the back of his head.
14:20He's here!
14:37You, you get behind me.
14:54No!
14:55No, you kill me.
14:56Well, at least you can tell him I made you come along.
14:58Oh, Carl, you wanted me.
15:01Oh, I thought it was just...
15:04Well, at least I'm a woman.
15:06You're my woman.
15:07What kind of a life do you think I have by myself?
15:09Together, maybe we've got a chance.
15:10You get behind me.
15:11Where?
15:12Over there.
15:13Five of them.
15:14That's all that came through.
15:16Turn me.
15:36Turn me.
15:54Bring me the one.
16:06Pa, I'm not sure.
16:11You say you see him.
16:14You say he takes Trail Dostrada.
16:18Which one?
16:21Well, maybe they missed him, Pa. Maybe he got past him.
16:24Nobody got past me!
16:26You can't just kill a man, Pa.
16:28How do you know that Willie never started it himself?
16:32Maybe there was a woman, Pa.
16:35You know what...
16:36You don't talk woman to me.
16:38Son who marry from the town.
16:41From the dung heap.
16:43Don't say things again, Sophie, Pa. You ain't gonna listen.
16:45Slut from the gutter is not a wife.
16:50Willie kept my ways.
16:54How do you know what he was doing?
16:56You couldn't see him.
16:58I see...
17:01what I need.
17:05Which one?
17:16That one.
17:21He looked a little like him.
17:22No!
17:23No!
17:24Whoever the man is you're looking for, it isn't Blandings.
17:29But you know that, don't you?
17:33Bring me the one.
17:40You're wrong about me.
17:41Whatever it is you think.
17:42What are you?
17:44Blandings.
17:45My name is Blandings.
17:46Gundar.
17:47You hear that name?
17:48Gundar.
17:49Shut up.
17:50What are you?
17:51I ask...
17:52What are you?
17:53He's a thief.
17:54He's telling you the truth.
17:55I'm a thief.
17:56That's all.
17:57I haven't done anything else.
17:58I have papers.
17:59Here.
18:00Daniel.
18:01Daniel.
18:02Put the gun in my hands.
18:03I know what it is.
18:04I know now.
18:05Some of the stories I make up.
18:07But they're all lies.
18:08No!
18:09Please!
18:10No!
18:11Please!
18:12No!
18:13No!
18:14No!
18:15No!
18:16No!
18:17No!
18:18No!
18:19No!
18:20No!
18:21No!
18:22No!
18:23No!
18:24No!
18:25No!
18:26But it's all...
18:27But it's all lies!
18:28They're all lies.
18:29No...!
18:30No!
18:31Please!
18:33I am sure Pa, he's not the one.
18:34Get the rifle.
18:35It was all lies...
18:37Lies!
18:38Lies!
18:39Ahahahah!
18:41No!
18:47Ma...
18:51Ma...
18:52It's all done, Pa.
19:01He's the one who killed Willie already. I can see that now.
19:06Why?
19:08Because his face is smeared with blood.
19:12Because he's dead.
19:15You want to get yourself killed too, mister?
19:18Is that what you're trying to do?
19:18You lie to me.
19:20I tear the truth out of you.
19:23Ain't there enough death yet, Pa?
19:27You gotta soak yourself in blood.
19:29Do you think that's gonna bring Willie back?
19:33I'll tell you something, and I'll tell you straight out.
19:36He ain't worth taking any man's life for.
19:39Willie this and Willie that, he keeps a ways.
19:41But you don't know what else he was doing.
19:43You no talk lies to more.
19:45You point gun at which one?
19:52No!
19:54I don't know which one.
19:56None of them!
19:58There's a way of making sure.
20:00Kill all of us, that's what he means.
20:01Why don't you draw lots, huh?
20:04I'll draw for it.
20:05You think that'd satisfy either one of them?
20:10Oh, but it'd satisfy you, wouldn't it?
20:18You could just crawl away and wipe it all right out of your mind.
20:24Blandings, me, any one of us.
20:28Just a body, just enough blood to wipe away all the traces.
20:33Why don't you tell him I killed Willie?
20:37That'd satisfy you, wouldn't it?
20:39Well, Blandings didn't do it.
20:42Now, what about me?
20:46No, please.
20:48This is the one.
20:50Yaw.
20:51Yaw!
20:52Carry him!
20:55Point the gun.
21:00Bob.
21:02You're gonna pull that trigger, not him.
21:07And you're gonna look me right in the eye when you do it.
21:15Point the gun.
21:22No, Pa.
21:29I killed him.
21:32You understand that?
21:33I killed Willie.
21:37Willie.
21:37Always Willie.
21:39No matter if he...
21:40if he takes the crop money and throws it away in saloons,
21:44no matter if he wants my wife, it's always Willie.
21:47Because you're a...
21:49a blind, selfish old man.
21:52And the only thing you care about is...
21:54is people lying to you and telling you how right you are.
21:57Well, I've done with lying.
22:00I killed him!
22:04You.
22:08Bill!
22:09Bill!
22:17Bill!
22:18Bill!
22:19Bill!
22:20Bill!
22:21Bill!
22:22Bill!
22:23Bill!
22:24Bill!
22:24Bill!
22:24Bill!
22:25Bill!
22:25Bill!
22:26Bill!
22:26Bill!
22:51Daniel!
22:52Daniel!
22:53Daniel!
22:56My son.
22:59Your son's all right, old man.
23:10Come on.
23:16There's a Ford on west, near Danville.
23:20No. I'm afraid to try it now.
23:23Afraid?
23:26I'm afraid there really isn't any other side.
23:31Don't you understand, Carl?
23:33If it hadn't have been the strata,
23:35if it hadn't have been this river,
23:37it might have been another one.
23:43Do you understand?
23:45No river is shallow to a man who can't swim.
23:53Let's go.
23:54I'll take a nap.
23:55No!
23:56No.
23:57No.
23:58No.
23:59No.
24:00No.
24:01No.
24:02No.
24:03No.
24:04No.
24:05No.
24:06No.
24:07No.
24:08No.
24:09No.
24:10No.
24:11No.
24:12No.
24:13Let's go.
24:43Have gun will travel, reach the card of a man.
24:50A knight without armor in a savage land.
24:57His fast gun for hire heats the calling wind.
25:03A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.
25:09Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam?
