00:00I'll be wanting your apology, Owen, since you're going to need me.
00:20You're going to need me badly.
00:30Six citizens arrested in three winds.
00:56Six citizens of three winds, Wyoming territory, were arrested today by their newly elected sheriff, Owen Deaver.
01:03They had been celebrating the sheriff's election victory by firing their pistols into the air.
01:08Sheriff Deaver has instituted a set of municipal ordinances patterned after those of the city of Philadelphia.
01:16Owen Deaver is the son of Barry Deaver, former sheriff of three winds, who died of consumption last fall.
01:25Hey, boy.
01:41will you go back to the opera house please and tell the lovely lady with the red hair that
01:49i won't be able to see her this evening i've been called out of town on business but opera
01:54come and leave tomorrow you not see her again maybe never i know here boy
01:59but i've just read in this paper that an old friend of mine died in bed and his son is apt
02:09to die on his feet unless somebody does something
02:11excuse me
02:12have to know take that one on the end please
02:41Sure thing.
02:45You better step into the sheriff's office next door
02:48and check that gun, mister.
02:50Oh, nobody allowed to carry arms in three winds?
02:52Not in Philadelphia either.
02:55Sounds like a reasonable law for Philadelphia.
02:58Well, the law's the law.
03:01Mister, are you going to check your gun?
03:06Are you going to check your gun, French?
03:12I don't think so.
03:13Please, fellas, like I asked you, turn them in.
03:16The sheriff will hold me responsible, being as your strangers.
03:19Let them be, Cal.
03:20Let's hope they're good enough to make it stick.
03:22Oh, let old get shot up?
03:25After all, he is Barry Deaver's son.
03:28I don't know, Jim.
03:29Oh, you don't know.
03:31What do you want to do, wait two more years for an election for sheriff?
03:34Two more years?
03:35Why, another six months like this and I'll have to close down the store.
03:39Don't tell me there are laws against selling.
03:41They're municipal ordinances.
03:43Yeah, we got a sheriff that can read the law.
03:46I don't know what I'm going to do now if the ranchers don't come in anymore.
03:49Well, what's to stop them?
03:51What's to bring them?
03:54The sheriff won't let them do nothing.
03:58I got 26 hands on my place.
04:01They sweat all month on the range.
04:03They look forward to payday to come into town and let off a little steam.
04:05Well, that can get pretty rough.
04:06Nobody ever got hurt.
04:08A little split lip or two.
04:10Now they got to ride 80 miles into North Fork.
04:13I'm liable to lose those hands.
04:15They'll go someplace where the town's more hospitable.
04:18Didn't he tell you he was going to institute these reforms before he was elected?
04:22No, he made everything sound so nice.
04:25Anyways, it seemed perfectly natural for Barry Deaver's son to inherit his badge.
04:30Sit around, boys.
04:31I'll buy you another drink.
04:36You heard the mantler.
04:37I had four.
04:38That's the limit.
04:39City ordinance.
04:41I don't count so good.
04:42Fill it up.
04:43I'm sorry.
04:44I can't.
04:45Look, don't argue with me.
04:46There's no argument.
04:47You heard the quarter for the day.
04:58I told him, Owen, it's not my fault.
05:00You tell him about his gun?
05:01He told me.
05:03But I don't figure on giving him up, Mr. Sheriff.
05:05So?
05:10You?
05:10You?
05:14I'll abide by your law.
05:15First time a stranger gets a warning.
05:24Next time you show a gun you don't turn in,
05:29it's lock-up for one week.
05:45Well done.
05:50Very neat.
05:51Very orderly.
05:56Now, that was your one warning, mister.
06:05I just came by your store, Harry.
06:07No one's tending it.
06:10The door's open.
06:11Well, I just stepped in here for a drink.
06:14If anyone wants anything, they know where they can find me.
06:18A place of merchandising cannot be left untended and unlocked.
06:23It invites thieves.
06:25Come on, Branch.
06:25He dropped his knife, Sheriff.
06:53You're sitting on it.
06:58This one you can arrest this time, Sheriff.
07:02Thanks.
07:10I'll have to take that one, too.
07:12Well, since you've challenged every gunfighter in the West to step into this town,
07:18don't you think you ought to allow the decent people to keep enough arms to defend themselves?
07:26What are you talking about?
07:27Don't you know what you did when you advertised that three winds is being run by the laws of an eastern city?
07:32You waved a red flag in the face of every man in the West who thinks he's bigger than the law.
07:38Now, this one and his friend...
07:42Get up!
07:44They're just the first two to take you up on the dare.
07:47And you're another?
07:48Perhaps.
07:49You get out of this town right now.
07:50No, I'll stay.
07:55If you do, it's going to be in my jail.
07:57I'll accept that as an invitation.
07:59Not graciously tended, but graciously accepted.
08:01And later on, I'll expect your apologies, since you're going to be needing me, Sheriff.
08:07Sheriff, you're going to be needing me badly.
08:10Come on.
08:10Come on.
08:11Come on.
08:12Come on.
08:13Come on.
08:13Come on.
08:14Come on.
08:15Come on.
08:16Come on.
08:17Come on.
08:18Come on.
08:19Come on.
08:20Ma, two more to feed.
08:21The way you're going, everyone in three winds will have a prison record for long.
08:26Ma Deaver, how about some of that potato soup?
08:28Chitlins, bacon, and the lot.
08:32Paladin!
08:34Well done!
08:36It's been a long time, hasn't it?
08:38You know him?
08:39Well, you've heard us talk of Mr. Paladin.
08:41He was here while you were back east.
08:43Him and your pa teamed up to go after the wild bunch.
08:45Your folks told me all about you.
08:47Yeah, I heard about you, too.
08:48I read about Barry. I'm sorry.
08:51I know. Thank you.
08:55What are you doing here?
08:57Well, right now, Owen's putting me in jail.
09:00Now, that's too much. You've just gone too far.
09:03Now, hold on. I...
09:04Just who do you think you are? You can't arrest a man like this.
09:07I'm not...
09:08You turn Paladin loose. You turn him loose or so help me.
09:11Though I never whipped you when you were small.
09:13I'll... I'll take a belt to you now.
09:16The law is the law.
09:17The law.
09:18Oh. Well, you listen to him.
09:20We sent him to Philadelphia for one year to study some law.
09:24And this is what he brought back.
09:26Five books, five books in the municipal code of Philadelphia.
09:31And he's been beating this town over the hecticly since he was off to the election.
09:35Ma, Ma, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:37Boy, I'm gonna take care of you.
09:38Take care of you.
09:39Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma.
09:40Nobody's gonna tell my boy what to do but me.
09:43Ma, let me handle it.
09:45Huh? Now, go on. It'll work itself out all right.
10:05She's got quite a temper, hasn't she?
10:08You resemble her in many ways, Owen.
10:15All right, for the records, what's your name?
10:26Smith. John Smith.
10:29What does your friend call you, the one you call French?
10:33You know, someone someday's gonna learn you to mind your own business.
10:38Owen, you'll find a poster on the French kid.
10:43It's reputed to be very handy with a knife.
10:49Even in San Francisco, we've heard of the Enfield gang.
10:57Yeah, the Enfield gang.
11:00Wanted dead or alive.
11:03French kid's one of them, all right.
11:06Yeah, you're this one, Mason Enfield.
11:11Am I now?
11:13French will undoubtedly bring the rest of them back to meet you.
11:16It was Amos Enfield, this one's brother, and a pair of insane killers named John Rogers and Dolomite.
11:23Yeah. French ain't gonna sleep until he gets a knife, sticks it in your throat.
11:28Four of them, Owen. Any one of them is probably a match for you. Together they'll chew you up and swallow the pieces.
11:35Maybe not.
11:37No maybes about it. You're gonna need help.
11:40I'll get help. A few deputies.
11:43Then let that bunch come.
11:46We'll see who feeds out of who.
11:54What will we do with Owen and his foolishness of these books?
11:58Well, it's a problem.
11:59But he's Barry Deaver's son. He must have learned something.
12:03His father taught him how to fight.
12:06With hand, gun, and knife.
12:09Owen can hold his own with the best of them. Or the worst, if you will.
12:15But his father's sense he never had.
12:18Well, he's young, Ma.
12:21And like most men his age, he's intolerant of the human failings of others.
12:25We have to keep him alive until wisdom sets in.
12:30He just won't listen to anyone.
12:32Well, unless I miss my guess, he's finding out right now that he's gonna have to compromise somewhere.
12:38If I read your face correctly, you fail to enlist any deputies.
12:43Inside.
12:48You don't have to if you don't want to.
12:50It's all right, Ma. The soup's delicious.
12:57He's under arrest.
12:59And don't you ever let him out of that cell again.
13:01Then what will you do?
13:03Arrest me?
13:04You stay on the other side of that door.
13:06When your father ran this office, and very well, too, he wasn't afraid to take advice from anybody.
13:12Not even a woman.
13:14I'm not like Pa.
13:16I don't even want to be.
13:17You couldn't be.
13:19He was respected.
13:20Well liked.
13:21Why shouldn't he be well liked?
13:23He never stepped on anybody's toes.
13:24And he didn't need any five books to tell him what was right or wrong.
13:27Just mind your own business, Ma.
13:30Don't you ever speak to me like that.
13:33You're not.
13:43So you're jealous of your father's reputation.
13:47While you were gone, I was browsing through those books.
13:50What made you pick the Philadelphia municipal ordinances?
13:53Because I think they're good ones.
13:56I'd like to live in a community guided by laws like these.
14:00What about your fellow townsfolk?
14:02They also have to live in your utopia.
14:04What's the matter with you?
14:06What's the matter with everyone?
14:08Why just can't you understand what I'm trying to do here?
14:11I do understand.
14:12Do you?
14:13Do you know how a town like this is run?
14:15There's no mayor, no town council.
14:17All they've got is a sheriff.
14:19And a judge that comes through once a month.
14:23I know.
14:24There's no written law.
14:25Only a loose set of morals based mostly on thou shalt not.
14:28Thou shalt not kill a man unless he's armed and facing you.
14:31Thou shalt not steal a man's horse.
14:33Thou shalt not rob at a gunpoint.
14:35Yeah.
14:36Yeah, that's just about as far as it goes, too.
14:39It's mainly left up to the sheriff to decide what is a crime in any given area.
14:46Yeah, that's right.
14:48The sheriff might get up on the wrong side of the bed one morning and everything's a crime.
14:59Might wake up smiling and nothing's illegal.
15:02Nobody's arguing with what you're trying to do.
15:05But aren't you rushing it just a little?
15:08No.
15:09There's no reason why we can't have a legal written code in this town today.
15:14Well, I was browsing through those books I came across several statutes I meant to ask you about.
15:20For example, there's one that states that a man can be arrested for spitting on the sidewalk.
15:25Well, what about it?
15:27Owen, there are no sidewalks here in Three Winds.
15:30There are no sidewalks here in Three Winds.
15:34There are no sidewalks here in Three Winds.
15:35Frustrating day, Owen.
15:36I guess nobody will help you.
15:49I guess nobody will help you.
15:53Nobody but me.
15:54you that's right i'll be your deputy you know that's out
16:00i can't deputize an arrested man you don't have any choice there's nobody else
16:08somebody else will come around why should they this town wants to get rid of you you're the
16:14enemy you're smothering them with those five books those five books are the best things that

21:56The other shotgun.
22:26Must be behind the bar.
22:31Yeah.
22:56There.
23:09Keep it off the ground.
23:13I've seen injured men before.
23:16You ought to be in bed.
23:18Well, it's your fault.
23:20You told me where I got my stubborn streak.
23:22Yes, but look what your stubbornness did for you.
23:25You got your legs shot and Mr. Paladin broke his hat.
23:30Fortunes of war, Ma.
23:31I guess I needed a new hat anyway.
23:33I brought you some company.
23:35Glad you came, Harry.
23:36I didn't want to come.
23:38He pushed me all the way up the street.
23:40Well, it's time the law had some backing in this town.
23:42Back him?
23:44I'm sorry you caught a bullet, Owen.
23:46But I'd welcome most anything that would take you from behind that badge.
23:50Oh, wait a minute, Harry.
23:52Owen, you backed down once before when you let me out of that cell to help you.
23:55That didn't hurt much, did it?
23:57Well, it would have hurt a lot more if I didn't, I guess.
24:01Well, you're gonna have to back down again.
24:04There's a basic, unwritten law of jurisprudence.
24:07You can't enforce a law that goes against the will of the majority.
24:10For those who try, there's a name.
24:12They're called tyrants.
24:14But I...
24:15Look, I didn't do this for my own sake.
24:18It...
24:19He's a stubborn boy.
24:20It just ain't no use.
24:22Harry...
24:24You sell all kinds of things in your store.
24:27You think you can find a customer for these books?
24:31Yeah.
24:32I'll buy them myself.
24:33They'll be ashes in five minutes.
24:35Now, wait a minute, Harry.
24:36Wait a minute.
24:37Oh, and why don't you put these up in the attic for a few years?
24:43Who knows?
24:45Perhaps someday three winds may have sidewalks.
24:49A gun will travel reach the cart of a man
25:06A knight without armor in a savage land
25:13His vast gun for hire heats the calling wind
25:18A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin
25:29Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam?
25:48Paladin, Paladin, Paladin, there's no name?
25:49I'm hoping there's no implied omdat he's been there family
