00:30Come on.
00:39Letter for you, Mr. Paladin, from Mr. Torshap.
00:43I know you're expecting it, so I bring it right up.
00:45Oh, thank you, Hayboise.
00:47Is this another move in the chess game?
00:50Usually is.
00:52Very interesting.
00:52They play chess by letter, especially so far away as Alaska.
00:57How does Mr. Torshap move?
01:03Well, Hayboise, he doesn't.
01:05Game's over.
01:08Oh.
01:10Hayboise, the lovely lady in room 314 is expecting me for dinner.
01:15Will you deliver this to her, please, with my regrets?
01:20You not see her at all tonight?
01:21I'm afraid not.
01:22Mr. Torshap has sent me a much more urgent invitation from Alaska.
01:26If you'll deliver that, please, and then come back and help me finish packing, Hayboise.
01:49Let's go.
02:15Boris?
02:19Boris!
02:35Boris!
02:37Yes?
02:49Huh?
03:19Come on, let's get out of here.
03:46Try to bushwhack us, will you?
03:50Wait, wait, get down his belly, rookie!
03:53You're here!
03:54That's more than enough.
03:56Turn him loose.
03:59I'm not gonna say it again. Turn him loose!
04:12Sorry, I had to start without you, Paladin. There was no time.
04:15You badly hurt, Boris?
04:16Give me a minute. It's my red one.
04:19Who are you?
04:20What rights you got busting into our camp?
04:23What does you do with explaining?
04:24Why are you beating a man that can't fight back?
04:26They try to kill us.
04:28Yeah, we were just protecting ourselves.
04:30They came to my camp when I was away.
04:34They stole my supplies.
04:35We warned you.
04:37It's our land. You were trespassing.
04:39In that case, I'm trespassing too.
04:41And what are you gonna do about that?
04:43Shoot your head off, mister.
04:45If you don't drop that gun, fast.
04:49Nice work, sis.
04:50You hear me, mister?
04:51You're gonna shoot that gun.
04:52You better pull the trigger quick.
04:53And aim real well.
04:54Cause your brother's gonna be dead before I am.
04:59Go ahead, Abby.
05:00Shoot!
05:04My friend and I are leaving.
05:05Shoot, Abby!
05:07Abby!
05:09Go on, Boris.
05:11Abby!
05:12Abby!
05:13Abby!
05:14Go on, Boris.
05:16Abby!
05:30Perhaps I'd better introduce myself, in case you have any idea of continuing this fight.
05:40Go ahead, Boris.
05:42Why didn't you shoot?
05:43He would've killed Ralph.
05:44Oh!
05:45Next time you do what you're told.
05:46Hold on, Carl.
05:47There's no call.
05:48There's no call.
05:49He didn't really mean it, Abby.
05:51He just...
05:52might've kind of lost his temper.
05:53Anyway, you should've done it.
05:54He didn't really mean it, Abby.
05:55He just...
05:56might've kind of lost his temper.
05:57Anyway, you should've done it.
05:58You should've called that fellow's bluff.
05:59Your life.
06:00That's what Carl was gambling with.
06:02Who would have killed Ralph?
06:05Next time you do what you're told.
06:07Hold on, Carl. There's no call.
06:15He didn't really mean it, Abby.
06:17He just...
06:19Well, he kind of lost his temper.
06:21Anyway, you should have done it. You should have called that fellow's bluff.
06:24Your life. That's what Carl was gambling with.
06:32Ralph! Coming.
06:36That's right. Go on. Jump.
06:38What do you want to start trouble now for, just when things are starting to break right?
06:42Starting to break right? Is this what you call breaking right?
06:45Licking his boots, eating dirt?
06:47We've been eating dirt all our lives.
06:50A little more won't make no difference. Not now.
06:53Don't you see? All we have to do is get rid of that Rusky.
06:56Then we have the whole valley for ourselves.
06:58We'll be rich.
06:59You don't get anything for nothing.
07:01It costs to be rich.
07:02What are you going to pay, Ralph?
07:03Me?
07:04Abby?
07:05Ralph, come here!
07:06Yeah, I'm coming.
07:07Hmm.
07:08What are you going to pay, Ralph?
07:09Ralph?
07:10Ralph?
07:11Ralph, come here!
07:12Yeah, I'm coming.
07:17Hmm.
07:18I'm coming.
07:19I'm coming.
07:21I'm coming.
07:22I'm coming.
07:23I'm coming.
07:24I'm coming.
07:25I'm coming.
07:26I'm coming.
07:27I'm coming.
07:28I'm coming.
07:29Hmm.
07:30Gunslinger?
07:31I never figured it'd go that far.
07:34What do we do now?
07:36Now, Boris, don't look at me like that.
07:41You're very lucky I was here to wrap those ribs.
07:42At least two of them are broken, you know.
07:43It isn't that.
07:44Your hands are cold.
07:48Well, I'm sorry about that.
07:49What's the trouble here, Boris?
07:50Who are these people?
07:51Well, the younger one is Ralph Morton, and the other is Carl Grimes.
07:55I'm sorry about that.
07:56What's the trouble here, Boris?
07:57Who are these people?
07:58Well, the younger one is Ralph Morton, and the other is Carl Grimes.
08:01Partners.
08:02Settlers, they call themselves.
08:03There are many like that, people who have come to Alaska since Russia sold it to the United
08:08States.
08:09And the girl?
08:10She's the boy sister.
08:11And I understand the fiance of Grimes.
08:25But, Paladin, the Toshchev company, for many, many years has hunted and trapped the
08:38has hunted and trapped this valley.
08:41I don't feel that these people have the right
08:43to just come in and take it.
08:45Well, you shouldn't have any trouble proving your priority.
08:47The land belongs to America now, the new laws.
08:51The land is open to anyone who wants to claim it.
08:55And that is why I had to come here.
08:58Why'd you come yourself? You could have had your men do it.
09:01Well, they wouldn't stay.
09:03Morton and Grimes frightened them.
09:06In fact, they drove them away.
09:08But they do not frighten me.
09:10I will stay until the claim is settled.
09:14Settled how?
09:16Mr. Wade, the territorial land agent, will be here tomorrow.
09:21And then he will decide once and...
09:38I will be here tomorrow.
09:44There is no one out there.
09:46Boris, I hope you realize now that they are not just trying to frighten you.
09:52So you see, Paladin, the valley is both wide and deep.
10:07It is 15 miles from the notch to the other end, and then four miles across.
10:12The best fur country this side of the Susitna River.
10:15Seems to me this valley is big enough for both claims.
10:18Well, I made the offer to share.
10:20Grimes and Morton can settle in the valley, and I will keep the rights to hunt and trap.
10:26But Grimes will not listen.
10:28I think he's more interested in the furs than he is in the land.
10:33What if this land officer, Wade, decides against you?
10:36I must obey the law.
10:40Well, Boris, we've got a visitor.
10:44Oh, yes. That is the sister.
10:48You go ahead. I'll take a look.
10:50All right.
11:03Good morning. There is something I can do for you?
11:21I've got to talk to you. And to Mr. Paladin.
11:24But he will be here in a moment.
11:27Won't you sit down?
11:29Well, if we are going to talk, we might just as well be comfortable.
11:34That is as comfortable as we can be here.
11:37Please.
11:42The help.
11:44Paladin.
11:46Miss Morton, Mr. Paladin.
11:49Miss Morton has come to talk with us.
11:51Without her gun, I'm pleased to see.
11:53Oh, I'm sorry about that.
11:55I was afraid for my brother, Ralph.
11:57I thought you was going to shoot him.
11:59Your brother Ralph and Grimes, do they know where you are right now?
12:04Carl would kill me.
12:05But he is your fiancée.
12:09When you've been around too long, you lose your good taste, I guess.
12:16Besides, he seemed different back in Skagway.
12:21Is that what you came to talk to us about?
12:23No.
12:24No, it isn't.
12:25Mr. Paladin.
12:27I've been fighting my brother's battles for him ever since he was a baby.
12:31I raised him myself.
12:33When our pa died, I went out and I worked to support the both of us.
12:38It wasn't easy work.
12:40Well, anyway, all I want now is to keep Ralph alive.
12:45I don't want you to hurt him.
12:48You know, I don't think your brother Ralph is going to appreciate your fighting this battle for him.
12:52I'll make him leave here.
12:54This was Carl's idea anyway, all this fighting.
12:57But suppose your brother does not wish to go.
13:00Please.
13:02I'll give you all the money I got.
13:04Anything you want.
13:06Only just leave my brother be.
13:08I think what happens from now on is up to Ralph.
13:12And Carl.
13:17Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Ta-Chef.
13:24If there is a fight, if anything happens to my brother, I'll kill you.
13:38I'll kill you.
13:43A very admirable young woman.
13:46It would be a pity to bring more tragedy into her life.
13:50I'll try and remember that when the boys start shooting.
13:57Mr. Wade, the land officer.
13:59Well, Boris, you sound almost sorry.
14:08I'll kill you.
14:18I don't know how you're going to settle this.
14:20You both got the same territory marked out for claim.
14:23You both say you were here first, but you can't prove it.
14:27It's going to take a settlement to decide this.
14:31Unless, of course, you want to divvy it up.
14:34No! It's mine, all of it.
14:35Well, I say it is rightfully mine.
14:38Well, this should be argued before a court of law.
14:40Court?
14:42And there is court to here's down to Skagway.
14:45The judge is a saloon keeper.
14:47Only law he knows is how much to find drunks.
14:49There's only one way to settle it.
14:51The valley goes to whoever's strong enough to hold it and take it.
14:54Guns and fighting?
14:56Never settled anything.
14:58I'm tired of waiting.
14:59It's got to be settled now.
15:01Well, Boris, that's not a bad idea he has.
15:02This valley should belong to whoever is strong enough to take it and hold it.
15:10Now, driving a dog team around this valley is certainly not easy.
15:14You'll settle for a race.
15:16Whoever comes in first will be the stronger, obviously, and he'll be entitled to the valley.
15:21Say, now, that's a right smart idea.
15:26We'll do it by teams.
15:28One man in the sled, one man on the runners.
15:31Both teams will leave here at the same time.
15:34And the one who gets back first has the claim.
15:37Of course, I'll take a look around afterwards, see all the claim markers are set up proper.
15:42That all right with you, Boris?
15:45Well, I won't pay much help with these cracked ribs, but, uh, if it's agreeable with him...
15:52That sounds fair enough, Carl. We can beat him.
15:56All right.
15:58Fine.
16:00Now, Miss Wharton can stay here with me, and you go get your teams in your sled, and I'll meet you on the south slope.
16:05I'll lay out the course.
16:10Come on, Carl. Let's go.
16:20Well, I'm afraid I'll be handicapped, but, uh, at least it is better than fighting.
16:26Mr. Paladin, thank you.
16:29No race is over till it's run.
16:36Well, we'll use my dog team, huh?
16:41All right, your team, but let's try my leader.
16:44What's the matter with mine?
16:46That Red Hound's the best lead dog in Alaska. I paid $2,500 for him in Skagway.
16:50He might be able to help us.
16:52All right, we'll try.
17:00All right, you fellas ready?
17:01All right, now let's get the rules straight.
17:05Now, you both go off down that slope.
17:08Till you come to the first turn, then you follow the course that laid out for you.
17:12All right, all right. Get on with it.
17:14Well, that's about it.
17:16You come back the same way.
17:17You come up the slope, and the first sled across that line is the winner.
17:22Now, how's that sound to you?
17:24Fair enough. All right by me.
17:26All right, let's get to it.
17:28Now, don't forget those markers.
17:29Ready?
17:34Go!
17:42Well, that's that.
17:44Missley won't be back till near sundown.
17:47Might as well brew up some coffee and just relax.
17:59Like we're going to eat little arse of coffee.
18:00Drink roll.
18:02Yeah?
18:04Uh-huh, we've never IDR of the nut!
18:06Get out of the nut.
18:12You закroom up the nut!
18:14That nip.
18:16How'd he tag to this after you let its back!?
18:19Then!
18:20We're not giving us the bang.
18:22Oh, you'll Google me!
18:23Come on, Rusty.
18:53Oh
19:23Ah!
19:24Ahh!
19:25Ah!
19:32Pour a little.
19:33Pour a little.
19:34Gee, little.
19:37Gee!
19:40Ah!
19:41Gel, ah!
19:43Gee!
19:44Gee, little!
19:45Gee!
19:50Gee!
19:51Gee, little!
19:52Hold it.
19:55What are you doing?
19:57Making sure we win this race.
19:59Come on, Carl.
20:00We're wasting time.
20:01Will you shut up and help me tear down some of these branches?
20:22Get going.
20:24You can make up the lost time without my weight slowing you down.
20:27What about you?
20:28I'm going to go back to the last turn.
20:30If you get there first, I'll jump back on.
20:31If they get there first...
20:32Well...
20:33Oh, no, Carl. Not that way.
20:35Look what your sister's giving up for you.
20:37It's the only chance you'll ever have to pay her back.
20:40Understand?
20:43Yeah, Carl, I understand.
20:47Hiya! Let's go! Hiya!
20:52Hey!
20:55Hurry up!
20:57All right!
20:58Pull!
21:19The point dog's got a bad paw.
21:21Bad paw.
21:44Go on now, cut.
21:51Hurry! Hurry!
22:05Go, crickets!
22:07Hurry up!
22:21Go, crickets!
22:29Follow them! It is a trick! You can win along!
22:38Watch out in a tree!
22:51Go, crickets!
23:03Go, crickets!
23:07Go, crickets!
23:09Go, crickets!
23:13Go, crickets!
23:15Go, crickets!
23:17Go, crickets!
23:19Go, crickets!
23:21Go, crickets!
23:23Go, crickets!
23:25Go, crickets!
23:27Go, crickets!
23:29Go, crickets!
23:31When he came back, we took care of him.
23:33Oh, good. Thanks.
23:35Yeah, Carl couldn't play it straight.
23:36He had to try to make a sure thing he lost.
23:38Grimes is dead.
23:39That's right. He's dead.
23:41Might have been me if your brother hadn't warned me.
23:43You know, I might have won an honest race.
23:46You might very easily.
23:47And again, you might not.
23:49You and you came in together.
23:52Now, who in turn nation won, anyway?
23:55Well, it's not me, that's for sure.
23:57No, no.
24:01My offer to you still stands.
24:03To share the valley equally, and you to live here.
24:06And provide my company with furs.
24:08Are you serious?
24:10I hope so.
24:12Completely serious, I assure you.
24:14And, uh, as partners,
24:16will necessitate your frequent trips to San Francisco.
24:20Oh, I wouldn't mind.
24:23Well, I'm very happy for everybody.
24:25Mr. Wade, have you ever played chess by mail?
24:29Hmm?
24:37A gun will travel reach the card of a man
24:43A knight without armor in a savage land
24:48His vast gun for hire heats the calling wind
24:56A soldier of fortune is the man called
25:02Paladin
25:06Paladin, paladin, where do you roam?
25:11Off the wall.
25:15Oh, my god.
