00:30The Rifleman
01:00Here he is
01:07How's it look, Jimmy boy?
01:14Too good to be true
01:15Here
01:19The bar's right across from it
01:21What about the hotel?
01:23Here, the other end
01:25How far?
01:26Maybe a hundred yards
01:27Right there on the main street?
01:29Yeah
01:29What time does it open?
01:31Eight-thirty
01:31But the bank manager is there at eight
01:33I guess we got no problems, huh?
01:37Uh-uh
01:38I guess not
01:41We'll work it like Abilene
01:42Only you better go on to the hotel tonight
01:44Just to be sure
01:45See you in the morning
01:51Tom
01:53Tom
01:53Where are you going?
01:55I got a friend at North Fork
01:57Got a present for his kid
01:58I thought I'd drop it off
01:59Now?
02:00Yeah, now
02:01You must be loco
02:03What's the matter, Jimmy boy?
02:05Did you ever have a friend?
02:07Not one I could trust
02:09Well, I got one
02:10Just one
02:12See you in the morning
02:13Paul?
02:32Huh?
02:33I can't figure out whether to plant beans or corn in my garden
02:36Well, what does the almanac say?
02:38Well, it don't really favor one or the other
02:40It says whatever you're hungry for
02:42As long as you get an early start
02:44That sounds like a practical book
02:46Say, come over here and give this a turn for me, will you?
02:48Right now, I'm hungry for vanilla ice cream
02:50Of course, if I was to plant beans, I'd have to string it
02:56And if you was to plant corn, you'd have to husk it
02:58Mr. McCain
03:10Your reflex is good as ever
03:18Tom?
03:20Tommy!
03:22In the flesh!
03:23I can't believe it
03:24What are you doing here?
03:25Well, you don't think I'd be within 100 miles of North Fork
03:27And not say hello?
03:29I thought you were in Texas
03:30Not anymore
03:32Well, what's you gonna ask me in?
03:34You're traveling alone?
03:35Like a newborn pup
03:36Well, come on in, Tommy
03:38How many years has it been?
03:40Trying to forget
03:41Say, Luke, this isn't Mark, is it?
03:47Yeah
03:47Well, he's a grown man
03:49Mark, this is Tom Birch
03:51Well, don't you remember, son?
03:53I told you all about him
03:53Yeah, I remember
03:56Well, aren't you gonna shake hands, son?
04:03How do you do?
04:04Well, I'm very pleased to know you, Mark
04:06You're raising up a gentleman
04:08And that's a fact
04:08Where's Margaret?
04:13Mark, will you get some plates and spoons, please?
04:17Oh, I'm sorry, Luke
04:18I didn't know
04:19Well, it's been four years
04:21We're over it
04:22Look, right now we're ready to sit down
04:24To a quart of vanilla ice cream apiece
04:26How's that sound to you?
04:27That sounds like home on the farm
04:28And you know me, a country boy
04:30Say, are you still using this?
04:31I don't want to have to
04:32Are you still any good at it?
04:34Better than you
04:35I don't want to have to
05:05Howdy
05:06Microw room, please
05:07Street side
05:08Yes, sir
05:09Now, don't rush you
05:17Give me time
05:18Number 12
05:20Upstairs, front
05:35John Smith
05:37John Smith
05:38No self-respecting criminal
05:42Is going to sign himself in
05:44John Smith
05:44Except maybe the man we're expecting
05:47Is a master criminal
05:48Who figures you feel that way
05:50Come on
05:50Let's get on with the game
05:52Yes, sir
05:54Well, we were just riding along, you see
06:03So this old Indian chief
06:05What was his name?
06:07Lion killer
06:07Yeah, old lion killer
06:08Well, he yells at his braves
06:11And they get on those little ponies of theirs
06:12And start right after us
06:13Wham!
06:14Just like that
06:14What happened?
06:17We outran them
06:18All of them?
06:20Well, no, Mark
06:21Not all of them
06:22We shot a couple of dozen or so
06:23Wouldn't you say, Luke?
06:25Yeah, I guess I would
06:26Makes a better story
06:27Got something for you
06:30You
06:31What's the matter?
06:43Don't you like them?
06:45Thank you very much
06:46Oh, come on
06:47I'm on
06:48Well, they're too small anyway
06:52You've grown, boy
06:55Luke
06:56You remember that hole that Apache Joe taught us?
07:01Yeah
07:01I bet I could beat you at it now
07:04Not now, Tom
07:05Come on, Lou
07:07All right
07:26You better quit, Luke
07:30I'd hate to see you getting blood all over this floor
07:32Don't you worry about it
07:33It'll wash
07:34You better quit, Luke
07:46You haven't got a prayer
07:47Not yet
07:49You still got that ticklish spot?
07:55Oh, my God
07:55You want to know something?
07:59It's still a draw
08:00That wasn't fair
08:02Oh, it's just a game, Mark
08:03Oh, no, wait a minute
08:04He's right
08:05Now, there's an honest man
08:06I want you to appreciate that
08:07Now, will you?
08:09Oh, Mark
08:09It's getting late, son
08:10We can clean up in here
08:11Why don't you go to bed?
08:12Sure, Paul
08:13Well
08:20Looks as though your son doesn't cotton up to me, Luke
08:24Well, every schoolboy's heard of the Birch Gang, Tom
08:26What do you expect?
08:28Price of fame
08:29There's a cot for you in the corner
08:31I'll get some bedding
08:32Can I talk to you a minute, Paul?
08:42Sure, son
08:43What is it?
08:46You aren't going to ask him to stay, are you, Paul?
08:49Tom and I were like brothers a long time ago, Mark
08:51Well, he even saved my life once, I think I told you
08:54Yeah, you told me
08:56Well, we were
08:58Happy-go-lucky in those days
09:00Did a lot of wild things
09:02Well, when I met your mother, you came along
09:04And Tom, he went off in another direction
09:07Oh, he's done a lot of wrong things, son
09:10He knows how I feel about it
09:12But, well, he came to visit us anyway
09:14Knowing because we're all friends
09:15That it would be all right
09:17If you say so, Paul
09:21Well, Mark
09:23Friendship's a very funny thing
09:26I wish I could explain it better
09:28Well, I'll try and understand
09:33Thanks
09:34Now, you get a good night's sleep, huh?
09:36We'll talk more tomorrow
09:37Paul
09:38Hmm?
09:39Well, you sure it's all right as being here?
09:42Sure
09:42How long do you...
09:50How long do you...
09:52Uh, if you ever have never been here?
09:54Yeah, you sure it's all right?
09:57No
09:57I'll be just lack of опас
10:00Cause you're...
10:01How long do you...
10:02How long do you see that?
10:03Well, you know
10:04It's another man
10:05That's a beautiful memory
10:06I've never seen as being here
10:07A beautiful memory
10:08There you see
10:09John
10:09God
10:09Oh, well
10:10Here she comes
10:11In a beautifulで
10:11Mom
10:12I have never seen as being here
10:13A beautiful
10:15See, I have never seen as being here
10:16I will see
10:17I have never seen
10:18Don't you ever do that again?
10:35Is it that bad?
10:39Sometimes.
10:41Come on, let's get you bedded down.
10:43Yeah.
10:47Mark asleep?
10:48No.
10:49Which way did you say you're heading?
10:52Denver.
10:53Aren't you a little out of the way?
10:54A little.
10:57You know, Tom, North Fork's kind of a puny town.
11:02Oh, that tempts me. I like puny towns.
11:06Too bad I won't get to see it.
11:08Heading east first thing in the morning.
11:10Yeah.
11:11It's too bad.
11:11Well, it's nice to sleep with the roof over my head again.
11:21Well, you need anything, Holler?
11:23I will.
11:26Luke.
11:26Will you tell Mark something for me?
11:31Will you tell him I haven't had vanilla ice cream or talked to a kid or sat at a table without my back against the wall since I can't remember?
11:37Will you tell him that?
11:37Why don't you give it up, Tom?
11:42Oh, Luke, you know better than that.
11:46I appreciate your hospitality.
11:50You're a lucky man.
11:53Good night, Tom.
11:54Good night, Tom.
12:24Good night, Tom.
12:54I hear it's kind of a puny town.
12:58That's not what the safe says.
13:03Well, let's get acquainted.
13:24Beans.
13:32Huh?
13:33I decided on beans.
13:35Even if you have to string them?
13:36Tell Hattie I want enough for the whole garden, will you, Paul?
13:39We'll plant corn next year.
13:41Well, look, son.
13:41I'll have to get them tomorrow.
13:43Got some chores to do here today.
13:45I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to Tom.
13:48Well, I guess he had to leave early, son.
13:50It's a long way to Denver.
13:51Denver?
13:52Mm-hmm.
13:53I saw him riding up the hill towards North Fork.
13:58When?
13:59Well, just a little after sunup.
14:04All right.
14:04Go on to school, son.
14:05Good morning, Tessie.
14:26Good morning.
14:26Well, good morning, Even.
14:29Sir Willis?
14:30Yes, sir.
14:31As the marshal says, I reckon.
14:33Well, how much longer do you think we're in danger, Mr. Tate?
14:36Can't say.
14:37The marshal don't rightly know.
14:42Good morning, Mr. Tate.
14:44My goodness, again?
14:46I don't see how you stand it in there.
14:48Long as my legs don't cramp up, I'm comfortable enough.
14:51I don't see how you stand it in there.
15:21All right, this will do.
15:37Gentlemen?
15:38Good morning.
15:38Morning.
15:39How about some scramble eggs?
15:41It'll take a little time.
15:42Oh, we got time.
15:44All right.
15:51All right.
16:00As soon as they open the doors.
16:02The Marshal's got only one good gun hand.
16:05Which hand?
16:11You know, I know something, Jimmy.
16:14I think I'll try my luck at ranching one of these days.
16:18Get myself a nice place.
16:20Some cattle.
16:21Stop it, will you? Stop it.
16:24What's wrong with you?
16:25Nothing.
16:26I'm not cut like you, that's all.
16:30Talking about ranching at a time like this.
16:32Well, what do you want to talk about?
16:35Money.
16:36What else is there to talk about?
16:38Okay, Jimmy boy.
16:41Where shall we bury it this time?
16:50No.
17:03What else?
17:07You?
17:37Morning, Lucas.
17:45What's wrong?
17:46Oh, nothing.
17:47You're acting like you had a bad night's sleep.
17:52You don't look so spring morning yourself, Michael.
17:55I guess I'm still worried about that gang.
17:57What gang?
17:59I got worried a couple of days ago.
18:00A gang of hold-up men mine hit us.
18:02I haven't slept much since.
18:04What about the bank?
18:05I got even tape posted in there.
18:07They'll be dead as soon as they walk in the door.
18:10Assuming, of course, they are kind enough to identify themselves first.
18:15What time is it, Michael?
18:16About 8.30.
18:17Let's see.
18:17Come here.
18:48Good.
18:53Okay, Jimmy boy.
18:54Signal, Sammy.
18:55Wait till you see the smoke and start in.
18:57I'll be right behind you.
19:17Come here.
19:47Why don't you go wash your dishes, Sweeney?
19:56Well, it's a good thing, Luke.
19:59Good morning.
20:02Didn't you kind of get your directions mixed up?
20:06Did I?
20:08Well, it seems to me Denver's in the opposite direction.
20:12Why didn't you know?
20:15Well, next time I'll get a map.
20:18Well, there's not gonna be a next time, Tom.
20:20Sit down, huh?
20:33I want to find out something right now.
20:35Are you here to hit the bank?
20:37Because if you are, I'm not gonna let you do it.
20:39You hurt my town, you hurt me.
20:41That's the way I am.
20:42You ought to know that by now.
20:44Look, I believed you, Tom.
20:47I'm still trying to believe you.
20:49Just make it good.
20:52Give me your guns.
20:55Luke!
20:57Hotel's on fire!
20:59Friends of yours?
21:16I got no friends, Luke.
21:18Just you.
21:20Where is he?
21:21He'll be here.
21:22All right.
21:23This is a holdup.
21:24Nobody gets hurt if you're cooperating.
21:25There's a rifle trained on you.
21:26Throw down your guns.
21:27And you'll get it first, mister.
21:28Now come around here.
21:29Come around here.
21:31Come around.
21:53Tom, for the last time, give me your guns.
22:13I'm going to walk out of here, Luke, get on my horse, and ride out of town.
22:16You do, and I'll kill you.
22:19You want to bet?
22:21I'm turning you in, Tom.
22:24All you got to do is let me ride out of town, Luke.
22:30You owe it to me, remember?
22:35I need more.
22:40You walk through that door, and I'll shoot.
22:44Well, I guess you will.
22:48Make it good, though, Luke, will you?
22:50Prison isn't for me.
22:53So long, Fred.
23:14What did you hit me with?
23:29Tyler.
23:31Micah, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine.
23:34Friend of yours?
23:37Yeah.
23:38Tom Birch is his name.
23:42We've been expecting you.
23:43Come on.
23:47We'll be with you.
23:48In the end of the year, I'll show you.
23:49The end of the year will hit me with my family.
23:50We'll see you then.
24:06I'll never forget.
24:07acyjть éramos
24:07Hi, Paul.
24:14Hi, son.
24:15Wondered where you worked.
24:17Figured you'd be out in the defensive or something.
24:19No, I decided to go into town after all.
24:22Did you get my seat?
24:24Oh, Mark.
24:25I'm sorry, son.
24:27I forgot.
24:28Why?
24:29What happened?
24:30Well, I'll tell you about it at supper.
24:32Did you see Mr. Birch?
24:34That's right.
24:36Now, you go get washed up, huh?
24:37You hungry?
24:37I sure am.
24:38Good.
24:40What are we having for supper?
24:42Beans.
24:43I'm going to go.
24:44I wonder...
24:45No, I'm going to go.
24:46I loved it.
24:46I love you.
24:47We learned something, huh?
24:48We said we learned something like this.
24:48We said...
