00:00The Rifleman
00:08Starring Chuck Connors
00:30The Rifleman
01:00Give me a box of shells, .44 caliber.
01:06Well, now, Mr. Hallecker, just who do you figure on shooting?
01:09Does it matter?
01:11Just having a little joke.
01:30The Rifleman
01:59I've seen anything like that before.
02:01What do you suppose it is?
02:02Medicine show, I guess.
02:04Something like that.
02:05Can you read the sign?
02:06World's greatest mentalist.
02:09What does that mean?
02:10Well, that's a fancy name for a mind reader.
02:13It means you can tell what you're thinking.
02:14Honest?
02:15Well, that's what he claims, anyway.
02:18Hello there.
02:19Hey, good day to you, sir.
02:21And more of the same to the young lad.
02:23Hi.
02:23Would you be so kind as to grant an indulgence to a wayfeller?
02:27If you can tell us just how we can help.
02:29Those stars what I need at the moment.
02:32A beacon, a guidepost.
02:33Have I set me foot upon the high road to nowhere?
02:37Well, that depends on where you're headed, sir.
02:39A place in the wilderness called North Fork.
02:42Are you going to put on a show in North Fork, mister?
02:45That is me fancy.
02:46An unforgettable performance.
02:48Admission, 50 cents.
02:49A quarter to Sprott's.
02:51Can you really tell what people are thinking?
02:53The thoughts hidden in men's minds are not secrets to me.
02:57You, young man, at this moment are thinking how you may extract a quarter from your pater
03:01to buy a ticket for the performance.
03:04He's got a funny way of talking if you ask me.
03:06Follow me, sir.
03:08Keep it on.
03:14I think he got lost.
03:17Oh, no, he'll be along, son.
03:18You wouldn't want to stay out here and wait for him, would you?
03:20Sure.
03:21That's what I figured.
03:25You can't prove anything against Billy, and you know it.
03:28He wasn't even in town that night.
03:29How could he have killed Dad?
03:31I've only got his word for that.
03:33If it were anybody but Billy Mathis, that would be good enough.
03:35Lucy, you're not being fair.
03:37I arrested Billy because he's the only one I know outside of me owns a shotgun.
03:40Besides, he had a good reason to do it.
03:42Lucas, Lucas, you were Billy's friend.
03:45Still am, I hope.
03:46Then do something.
03:47Help him.
03:48That's what I came to town for, Lucy.
03:49Now you go on home and stop worrying.
03:51If Billy didn't do it, he won't be in jail alone.
03:53All right, Lucas.
03:54I'm counting on you to get him out.
03:57I'm sorry, Mike.
03:58It's just that I know that Billy's innocent.
04:03I'm glad you came along when you did, Lucas.
04:05She's got a lot of faith in that boy.
04:07She's in love with him.
04:08What's he got to say for himself?
04:10Says his shotgun was stolen from him.
04:12Other than that, he just sits in a cell and stares at the ceiling.
04:15Maybe you can get something more out of him.
04:16Come on.
04:24Got the more company, boy.
04:26How are you, Billy?
04:28Expect an answer to that?
04:29I didn't ask to hear my head roar.
04:31I got free lunch and three meals a day.
04:33What more can a man ask?
04:34I've heard all this before.
04:35I'll be in the office.
04:37Did you push whack John Hallecker?
04:39What difference does that make?
04:40Get on your feet when you talk to me.
04:45Yeah, that's better.
04:47Not to me, it is he.
04:49I'm still looking out through the bars.
04:50They tell me Hallecker was in the hardware buying shells just before he was shot.
04:54So I heard.
04:55Was that because of you?
04:56He never made no secret about what he'd do if he caught me seeing Lucy again.
04:59Were you seeing Lucy?
05:00Yeah.
05:00Where were you Saturday night?
05:02I was sitting on a rock four miles out of town.
05:03I was there from sundown till near midnight.
05:05Waiting for Lucy, huh?
05:07Yeah, she never showed up.
05:08Nobody did.
05:10So if it's an alibi you're looking for, you're going to have to get it from a couple of prairie
05:12dogs.
05:13What did Hallecker have against you, Billy?
05:14You know what it was.
05:16No daughter of his is going to marry a $40 a month.
05:18Cowhand.
05:18Oh, no.
05:19No, you've got to own a thousand and a blooded stock for it to even let you talk to her.
05:23He had no use for me.
05:24I knew that.
05:25What makes it so bad for you is that he was killed with his shotgun and yours is missing.
05:29Now, I'd like to hear you tell me you didn't do it, Billy.
05:33You show me how that'll get me out of here and I'll say it.
05:41Well, did you get any place?
05:42Well, not so far.
05:43I couldn't walk back.
05:45You know, Mike, he was always a hard-nosed kid.
05:47Now, I can see him killing John Hallecker all right, but not from ambush.
05:51And I don't think he'd use a shotgun.
05:54Hey, Paul, you just came in this minute.
05:56Who?
05:56Well, James Brown McBride.
05:58Who do you think?
05:58Oh, good.
06:00What am I going to do, Lucas?
06:01I don't have any real proof against the kid.
06:02Maybe he didn't do it.
06:04And you suppose the rest of the man aren't evidence, not motives.
06:07If I could just see into his mind.
06:09Well, say, why don't you get James Brown McBride to do it?
06:12He's a mind reader.
06:13I'm afraid he couldn't help my son.
06:14Well, he is a mind reader.
06:15Mark, will you wait outside, please?
06:18Yes, sir.
06:24Just sign the register and pick out an empty room.
06:41They're all hostels anyway.
06:44You just mind your tongue, Joe Hyatt.
06:45I take it, sir, you are not an employee of this caravan, sir.
06:49He's employed to keep that chair from walking away.
06:52I don't suppose you'd be interested in a friendly little game, would you?
06:55Unfortunately, the element of chance does not enter into any game in which I engage.
07:00What is this, a debating society or a poker game?
07:02What's from there, boss?
07:03No sport and blood?
07:05Would you be good enough to hang this in the window for me?
07:07A mind reader.
07:08Yes, sir?
07:12Don't loiter in the doorway.
07:14Come over here.
07:17You strike me as a lad who'd recognize a business opportunity, should you hear of one.
07:21Would you consider a fee admission to the performance as adequate compensation for posting these show cards about the town?
07:27No, sir.
07:28Eh?
07:29What's that?
07:30Well, I might do it for two tickets.
07:32You're not a road agent in disguise, are you, my boy?
07:36All right.
07:37Here.
07:39And see that they're all adequately displayed.
07:41I sure will.
07:45Pa!
07:46Pa, look what I've got.
07:47Two tickets to the show.
07:48Now all I've got to do is hang these posters.
07:51Well, son, that show's not till tonight.
07:52I was planning on being back at the ranch long before that.
07:55Oh.
07:57Well, if you couldn't see your way clear to staying in town,
07:59well, I'd be glad to give you one of the tickets.
08:01Could you, Pa?
08:03Well, I don't see how a man can turn down an invite like that.
08:05All right.
08:06Yahoo!
08:07Mark!
08:09My tickets.
08:11Oh.
08:19And now, ladies and gentlemen,
08:21if you have inscribed upon those tiny slips of paper
08:23the questions, the problems, the riddles of life which you have so long wished to know,
08:28I shall attempt to reveal the answers to you.
08:31Kindly fold your slips twice and deposit them in the basket which is being passed among you.
08:35Owing to the brevity of the time that I am privileged to be with you,
08:39it will be impossible for me to give you, it will be impossible for me to give you my answers to each of you privately.
08:43But have no fear, ladies and gentlemen, I shall express myself in such a manner that only the asker of the question shall know to whom I speak.
08:52Due to the natural skepticism of those among you who question the ability to bead minds, I shall ask those of you who wish to acknowledge your questions to do so, after I have given you the answer.
09:05Thank you, sir.
09:07And to answer the question that is uppermost in your mind, for your kind assistance, yes, you will receive your reward.
09:13In the next world.
09:21You will know this, ladies and gentlemen, that I do not read the question beforehand, I simply place it to my temple.
09:28And the mind draws in the vibration, yes, it is coming through to me.
09:33A lady wants to know if her husband's trips to Amarillo are entirely business.
09:37The answer is yes, madam, of one kind or another.
09:43That is the question, precisely.
09:52Now I am asked, who has been stealing liquor from the back of my saloon?
09:59The saloon in question is the last chance.
10:04The only answer I can honorably give to the proprietor is this.
10:08When a man has the biggest thirst and the smallest purse in North Fork,
10:11what else can he do but steal his liquor?
10:21The next question asks,
10:23who killed John Halliger?
10:27The shotgun that killed John Halliger was fired from the alley next to the last chance.
10:33After the foul deed, the murderer ran to a horse that was waiting at the rear of the saloon and fled.
10:42But this is a matter for the authorities.
10:45It would be improper to say more than this.
10:48For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak.
10:51Good evening, Marshal.
11:11And you, sir?
11:11I trust you enjoyed the performance?
11:13It was pretty good.
11:14We'd just kind of like to know where you got all that stuff.
11:16I can give no other explanation for my unique talent except that I am the seventh son of the seventh son.
11:23What if that accounts for it?
11:24I cannot say.
11:25It would be just a trick, would it?
11:26I believe you witnessed the demonstration, Marshal.
11:28Judge for yourself.
11:30The Marshal would like to know more about the Halliger murder.
11:33Gentlemen, I can add nothing to what I said during my performance.
11:37I was picking a vibration from someone in the audience.
11:40Upruptly, they were weak and faded off.
11:42Are you saying the murderer was here tonight?
11:44Possibly.
11:45Yes, quite possibly.
11:47Or it may have been merely a witness to the foul deed.
11:51What did you mean by murder will speak?
11:54Merely a line I borrowed from the immortal barn.
11:57Tell me something, Mr. McBride.
11:59If you were to come face to face with a man suspected of killing Halliger,
12:03could you pick up any vibrations?
12:06I hear the science of telepathy has not yet received universal acceptance.
12:09My testimony will have no standing in the court of law.
12:14I cooperate in full, as are you, McBride.
12:17What do you say, McBride?
12:19Will you come over to the jail with us?
12:20Tonight?
12:22No, gentlemen, the mind is too weary.
12:24The chance of a mistake will be too great with a man's life at stake.
12:28Tomorrow morning, or night and fresh?
12:30Yes, quite possibly.
12:32I could help you then.
12:33Just make sure you'll be there.
12:34You'll come along and be a witness, will you, Lucas?
12:36Yes, I'll be there as soon as I get Mark up to school.
12:38Nine o'clock, Mr. McBride?
12:41I shall be at your service, sir.
12:45Lucas!
12:45Lucas!
12:45– Thank you.
12:46What do you say, Mr. McBride?
12:54Have acision.

14:57Oh, he's long gone.
14:58I know.
15:00Should have left three days ago myself.
15:01That old boy kind of shook things up last night, didn't he?
15:06You figure all he said about Hallecker was just a stab in the dark?
15:09It could be.
15:10Thought he could have talked to someone.
15:11Did he try to pump you for any gossip, Joe?
15:14No.
15:14Deal the cards.
15:16Don't figure he pumped anybody else.
15:18I saw him go up to his room shortly after he registered.
15:21He didn't come down again until it was time for his show.
15:23You sure?
15:24He might have gone out when you weren't looking.
15:26Lucas, nobody gets past me.
15:28You never know who's got a couple of dollars to donate.
15:31Well, take you, for instance.
15:32He'd like to take me.
15:33The new Joe.
15:34Hello, Eddie.
15:35Good morning, Lucas.
15:35Can I look at the register?
15:36Yeah, sure.
15:37All right, Billy, you're free, but you'll never get away with it.
15:51That goes for you, too, Lucy.
15:56Lucy, this is going to go bad for you.
15:58Go on, Billy.
15:58Don't worry about me.
16:00Lucas McCain's horse is tied up out front.
16:02Get out of here, Billy!
16:05Billy, use your head!
16:07Billy, hold up!
16:23Lucy, you're a fool.
16:24What did you want me to do?
16:25Leave him in there to hang?
16:26Even if he killed your own father?
16:27He didn't!
16:28I know he didn't!
16:29An innocent man doesn't run, Lucy.
16:37I've got $50.
16:44Says they'll bring him in slung over a sack.
16:46Oh, pardon me.
16:48Can you spare a few minutes, Mr. Pogarty?
16:50Well, actually, I was just about ready to leave, but...
16:53I was just wondering if you were at the show last night.
16:56No, sir, I wasn't.
16:57Well, that's too bad.
16:59You should have been there.
17:00It was mighty interesting.
17:02This James Barrow McBride seems to know all the secrets in town.
17:05Well, don't you believe in mind reading, Mr. McCain?
17:08No.
17:11Do you?
17:13Well, I've heard stories about horses and dogs that were taken hundreds of miles away from
17:18their homes and managed to find their way back by themselves.
17:22Well, I can't explain that.
17:23Can you?
17:25Well, if a horse could talk, I might find out.
17:27You know, people are more interested in finding out where McBride gets all his information.
17:33Now, I've got an explanation.
17:34Oh, I couldn't prove it, of course.
17:38But, Mr. Fogarty, would you like to hear it?
17:40You see, I see every town McBride performed in had already been visited by someone else.
17:45Ooh, got there maybe a bit or so in advance.
17:48It's like a salesman, for instance.
17:50Now, if this salesman did a little bit of talking, a lot of listening, he could pick
17:56up some mighty interesting gossip.
17:59He might even learn about John Halliger's murder.
18:02Are you accusing me of it?
18:03Oh, no, Mr. Fogarty.
18:04I'm just trying to keep you out of jail as a witness.
18:09Now, do you want to tell me or the marshal?
18:12I knew I shouldn't have stuck around here trying to win my money back.
18:15All right, let's keep it friendly.
18:17I got it from an old character that hangs around the saloon, catching drinks.
18:22Ed Osborne?
18:23Yeah, that's the one.
18:25The best source of information in town is usually the town drunk.
18:28I don't know how much more Osborne knew.
18:29He passed out on me about that time.
18:31But he's the one that told me.
18:34Where's Lucas?
18:35Lucas?
18:42Ed, I want you to tell me all you know about John Halliger's murder.
18:46What?
18:47I don't know what you mean, Lucas.
18:50How would I know anything of a...
18:52You're joking, aren't you, Lucas?
18:55You talk too much to that salesman, Ed.
18:58Did you kill Halliger?
19:02Me?
19:04That's foolish, Lucas.
19:05I never killed nobody in my whole life, you know that.
19:08Then you saw something you weren't supposed to.
19:10Were you in the alley that night?
19:11Yeah.
19:14I was there.
19:16He never seen me in the dark, though.
19:17I never seen him neither until that shotgun went off.
19:20I was scared.
19:21Have you ever had a shotgun go off the back of you?
19:23Why didn't you tell that to the marshal?
19:25I was afraid to, Lucas.
19:26The reason I was hiding there.
19:28I'm the one who's been stealing the liquor from the saloon.
19:31Who fired the gun?
19:32Was it Billy Mathis?
19:33I don't know, and that's the truth.
19:35All I seen was somebody run out to a horse and ride out of there.
19:38Nothing else?
19:39That's all, so help me.
19:42Wait.
19:43No, I...
19:44I remember he clinked when he ran.
19:47Clinked?
19:48Yeah, like he had a pocket full of silver dollars.
19:50Not just a couple, a whole pocket full.
19:51Nobody carries that much.
19:55Unless he just won a part in a poker game.
19:58Don't move around, Lucas.
19:59I'll kill you if you do.
20:01You were just about to come up with my name now, weren't you, Lucas?
20:04Matter of fact, I was.
20:06Why'd you do it, Joe?
20:07A little argument over some odd cards.
20:09I heard he was coming for me.
20:11Pretty poor reason to ambush a man.
20:13Good enough reason for me.
20:15Anyway, I don't see any of the townspeople grieving for him.
20:18Then you were gonna let Billy Mathis swing for it, huh?
20:20That's right.
20:21I thought that was a real good idea of mine, using his gun.
20:24He don't mean nothing to me.
20:26Neither do you.
20:27Or that slack mouth drunkard there.
20:30I think I'd better take that rifle, Lucas.
20:31And do it slow and easy.
20:40Let's get it here.
20:41Mark, what are you hammering?
21:03I'm hanging on my poster.
21:05What poster?
21:06James Barrow McBride's.
21:08Why don't you give that to Lucy and Billy for a wedding present?
21:13Oh, I got another one for them.
21:15You know, I just might be a mind reader when I grow up.
21:18Oh, now you listen to me, boy.
21:20A man who learns to see and hear and think will be the mind reader six ways to Tuesday.
21:26So while you're waiting to grow up, you just be a book reader.
21:28And that means...
21:29Get in the house and do my homework.
21:31A man don't need to be a mind reader around here.
21:33A man who remembers to see and see.
