00:00Easy, Calvert, I know your name was a death sentence to 20 men, but this isn't El Paso,
00:20and you're not as young as you used to be.
00:30The End
00:45Ranch War in Wyoming, Benedict, Wyoming, according to C.W. Wellman,
00:59the refusal of a local rancher to permit access to the sole remaining source of water in this
01:04drought-stricken area has resulted in the deaths of two men and threatens open warfare.
01:09Excuse me, Mr. Paladin. Yes, A-boy. A gentleman in 312, they are expecting you.
01:18Tell them I'll be right there. They're sitting at table now, very anxious.
01:22They're ready to deal our cards. Oh, A-boy, tell them I'll be there in a few moments.
01:29I'll be there in a few moments.
01:59I'll be there in a few moments.
02:02Roberto !

02:12There's really nothing to add.
02:23I'm so excited.
02:26Something long, cold, and wet.
02:32Yes, sir.
02:41Pretty quiet town.
02:44No more than most.
02:48Direct me to the Wellman Ranch.
02:52North Road, about three miles.
02:55Thanks.
02:56You a friend of the Wellman's?
02:59No.
03:02You're looking for work?
03:05In a way.
03:17What's everybody waiting for?
03:20Me to get killed?
03:22Me to get killed.
03:31Looks like the waiting's about over.
03:38That squares is mine.
03:39Excuse me.
03:55Excuse me.
03:56Don't, Casey.
04:10There's no sense to this.
04:16What do you want, an apology?
04:18All right, I apologize.
04:26Casey, don't.
04:27Now listen to me, please.
04:28You knew you could beat him.
04:53You're knowing and doing are two different things.
04:59I guess you'll just have to keep on waiting.
05:04Well, there's a job open at the Wellman's now.
05:07His.
05:08looping for all over the world.
05:25No?
05:28No?
05:29No?
05:30No?
05:31No?
05:32No?
05:33It's dry.
05:43But I could let you have a bucket from the kitchen pump if you'd like.
05:47I'd appreciate that. It's been a long ride.
05:58Just help yourself.
06:00Thank you. My name is Paladin.
06:02I'm here to see Mr. Wellman.
06:03He's not here right now.
06:05But he should be back soon.
06:17Good morning.
06:20Did you just come from town?
06:22From Benedict, yes.
06:25Was there...
06:26I mean, did you see anything happen?
06:28Well, there's a man killed, if that's what you mean.
06:32Who?
06:34I believe his name is Casey.
06:38Meg, you know what your father said about speaking to strangers?
06:42No offense, Nint.
06:50But Mr. Wellman is very strict about these things.
06:52I understand.
06:55You said Casey was killed.
06:59That's right.
07:00Jeff Dois?
07:02I didn't catch his name.
07:04Jeff.
07:05Poor boy.
07:06Well, he's alive.
07:09How long can a man live by a gun, Mr. Paladin?
07:12Especially when he doesn't want to.
07:13Casey's dead.
07:33Young Calvert gunned him down.
07:35I know.
07:36Mr. Paladin told me.
07:39Paladin?
07:40Mr. Wellman?
07:41Hello.
07:42I was passing through, Benedict.
07:43I saw it happen.
07:44You think you can stand up to Calvert?
07:46Well, if there's a good enough reason.
07:48Well, that's your job.
07:49Get rid of him.
07:51I don't think we understand each other, Mr. Wellman.
07:54I offered my services to help you get water.
07:57Well, this is your card, isn't it?
08:00The one you sent me?
08:01Yes.
08:02A half gun will travel.
08:03That means only one thing as far as I'm concerned.
08:05That's the reason I hired you.
08:07Well, we do misunderstand each other.
08:09I'm not an executioner.
08:14I'll just water my horse and be on my way.
08:16All right, I'm sorry.
08:39I was upset about Casey.
08:42I wasn't thinking straight.
08:44But I need your help.
08:45We all do.
08:46I told you I didn't offer that kind of help.
08:49Oh, it is part and parcel of the same thing.
08:53Look, can I talk to you or not?
08:58Sit down.
08:59We're desperate, pal.
09:06Our water holes are drying up.
09:08Even the deep wells are going dry.
09:12Another week of this and our herds will be buzzard bait.
09:16Calvert's ruining us.
09:17I'll just take it one thing at a time.
09:21How can a boy like that ruin you?
09:23Boy?
09:24I'm not talking about Jeff.
09:26It's his father, Roy Calvert.
09:27He owns a six iron ranch over in the valley.
09:29Roy Calvert.
09:31A few years ago in the southwest, there was a gunfighter by that name.
09:34That's the same one.
09:36Only he's here now.
09:37Bought this ranch about three years ago.
09:39I knew there'd be trouble even then with a man like that.
09:42How can Roy Calvert block off your water supply?
09:47There's a lake in back of his ranch.
09:49But Calvert's ranch runs right across the valley.
09:51See, it's the only approach to the lake.
09:53But he let us use it only the first year.
09:56Now he's fenced us off, won't let us through.
09:58Why not?
10:03So help me.
10:04I don't know.
10:05He just closed us off.
10:08And a couple of weeks ago, Harry Craig got mad,
10:10tried to drive his herd through,
10:11and young Calvert killed two of his men.
10:14Just the two of them?
10:15Roy Calvert and his son?
10:16Well, they've got a couple of hands.
10:18But Jeff is the gun.
10:21His father's turned him into a worse killer than he ever was.
10:25I tell you, Paladin, there's only one way to break Calvert.
10:28Get that boy.
10:31Now, what do you really want?
10:34Do you want water?
10:35Or do you want that boy's death?
10:37I want results.
10:39And fast.
10:41I'll get them for you.
10:47My way.
10:49What are you going to do?
10:50I'm going to talk to Roy Calvert.
10:51Maybe he'll tell me the whole story.
10:53I'll get them for you.
10:53I'll get them for you.
10:55My way.
10:56What are you going to do?
10:57I'm going to talk to Roy Calvert.
10:59Maybe he'll tell me the whole story.
11:01No, no, no, no.
11:15Blast your eyes.
11:15You're late in the trigger.
11:17Your barrel come up too far, made your shot land too high.
11:19All right, Pa, but I hit him.
11:21He would have been hurt.
11:23That's not good enough.
11:24How many times do I have to tell you when you draw, you shoot to kill?
11:27From here to here, understand?
11:31No place else.
11:33That's good advice.
11:36All you want to do is kill.
11:40Now, take it easy, Calvert.
11:42This isn't El Paso, and you're not as young as you used to be.
11:45How are you?
11:47What do you want?
11:48Five minutes of your time I want, and my name is Paladin.
11:55To paraphrase Shakespeare, our names are advertised by our loving friends.
12:00Son, you can put that gun up.
12:01I'm not here to cause any trouble.
12:05You get that job at the Wellmans?
12:07I got a job at the Wellmans.
12:09Whether or not it's the same one remains to be seen.
12:11Anybody who works for Wellmans, there's no business here.
12:13Anybody who denies water to his neighbors has no business being a rancher.
12:18Oh, so that's it.
12:20Talk it over?
12:23Let me show you something, and you decide how much we've got to talk over.
12:32Keep at it.
12:43There's all I got to say, Paladin.
12:53My wife's grave, and this town put her there.
12:57Still want to talk it over?
12:59Yes.
13:00That's not all there is to it.
13:03Twenty years we were married.
13:06She was a kind woman.
13:07You must have loved her very much.
13:09All I wanted was a place where she could say hello to somebody without them looking past her.
13:20The name Calvert was a death sentence to more than twenty men.
13:23You really think you could hide it?
13:25Nobody would have known.
13:26But Wellman found it out, and he passed the word.
13:30Gunslinger's wife.
13:31Killer's wife.
13:32And she was alone again.
13:33But she took sick, nobody came to call except the doctor.
13:39And she died.
13:40Pneumonia, he said, but she just gave up.
13:44Nobody came to her funeral.
13:46You hear me?
13:49Nobody came to her funeral.
13:54I'm gonna kill this town, Paladin.
13:56That's all I want.
13:58The ranchers will drive through.
14:00They tried it once, and it cost them.
14:03Maybe next time it'll cost you.
14:05Not likely with Jet playing my hand.
14:08I have more respect for a man who plays his own.
14:12I can't.
14:16I promised that I'd never draw this on another man.
14:19Now, Jet, today, please.
14:43We'll go away together.
14:44You can't leave your folks anymore, and I can leave my father.
14:49Well, we can't go on like this.
14:52Dad's almost desperate now.
14:55And after this morning, in case he...
14:57I tried to stop him, Meg.
14:59I know.
14:59I know.
15:01Oh, Jet, what are we gonna do?
15:05Excuse me.
15:06I'll make your pardon.
15:08I don't mean to intrude.
15:09I'd just like to get my horse.
15:12Miss Wellman, I thought that you and the fellow that was killed, Casey...
15:15No, no.
15:17I only went to a dance with him last night because my father wouldn't let Jeff take me.
15:20He tried to pick a fight with me when I asked Meg to dance.
15:25And he said he was gonna come looking for me in town today.
15:28I didn't want it to happen, Peloton.
15:30Jeff isn't a killer.
15:32I don't care what my father says.
15:34Well, somebody's gonna have to knock some sense into your father.
15:37And yours, too.
15:39Now, I know he's been hurt.
15:41Hurt badly.
15:42But now the ranchers are being hurt.
15:43The town's being hurt.
15:44And where's it gonna stop?
15:45That's up to Pa.
15:48It's up to you, too, Jeff.
15:49You're in this right square in the middle.
15:52Now, what are you gonna do about it?
15:55Jeff?
15:57There's nothing I can do.
15:59I'm sorry, Meg.
16:01Get her out of here, Peloton.
16:04Miss Wellman, he can only fight one fight at a time.
16:08Come on, I'll take you home.
16:15I'll take you home.
16:45I just went out for a ride.
16:50We met on the way home.
16:57Well?
16:59Miss Calvert gonna let us through?
17:01You can't expect me to wipe out three years of hate in one afternoon.
17:05He told me about his wife.
17:06His wife?
17:07She's dead.
17:10Well, she was sick.
17:11We had nothing to do with it.
17:12I know.
17:13You had nothing to do with the Calverts at all.
17:15All I know is that if we don't get to that lake, we're wiped out.
17:19Now, do we get through or not?
17:21As of now, no.
17:23But maybe.
17:24Well, then we'll drive our way through.
17:25And you'll get rid of young Calvert.
17:27I told you before, I'll do this job my way.
17:30Not if you're working for me.
17:31Get rid of young Calvert or cut out.
17:39Mr. Paladin, wait.
17:41You're leaving.
17:42I can't do this job his way.
17:44He'll go ahead without you.
17:46He and the others.
17:47They'll be fighting.
17:48Shooting.
17:49Some of them will be killed.
17:51Men with wives and families.
17:53Are you asking me to decide who's gonna die?
17:56I'm asking you to measure one life against many.
18:00One family against a whole town.
18:02And I pray that God forgives me.
18:05THE END
18:35Good morning.
18:43What's the matter?
18:45Do you think you're good enough yet?
18:47I can't be good enough. You're dead.
18:49Well, that sounds like your father talking.
18:51What are you doing here?
18:53If you're working for Wellman, sooner or later we gotta shoot it out.
18:56Is that all you know? Shoot it out?
18:59You've killed three men already. You have a taste for it now?
19:06Don't you?
19:08A man draws a gun for a reason.
19:11Every man has his own.
19:13But most men have a point at which they draw the line.
19:15I have mine. What's yours?
19:19You think I like it?
19:21You think I wanna watch somebody comin' at me?
19:25Like Casey this morning.
19:27I had to kill him.
19:29Did you?
19:31He woulda killed me.
19:33That's your excuse today, Jeff.
19:35What'll it be tomorrow?
19:37Where do you draw the line?
19:41That's all I know.
19:42Jeff!
19:43I thought you were...
19:47What's the matter, Paladin? Haven't we had enough talk?
19:49Well, you did all the talking last time.
19:51Now, Wellman's organizing the rest of the ranchers.
19:53They're going to drive those cattle through the lake.
19:55You mean they're gonna try.
19:57We'll be ready for them.
19:59And if you stop them?
20:00If you kill some of them?
20:02That make your wife rest easier in her grave?
20:07It'll make me rest easier.
20:09How about you, Jeff?
20:18Now, those cattle are gonna go through tomorrow afternoon.
20:21I'll see to it myself.
20:24If you have any objections, I'll be in town all morning.
20:27We can settle it then.
20:29We'll be glad to apply.
20:31You or Jeff?
20:33Me.
20:36Well, it's getting easier all the time, isn't it?
20:39You ought to be very proud of yourself.
20:41You've turned this boy into a killer.
20:44He's gonna enjoy the same kind of a life you have.
20:54If he lives long enough.
20:55If he lives long enough.
20:56If he lives long enough.
21:01He's riding in.
21:16He's riding in.
21:30Roy Calvert's coming in, too.
21:46Well, I hope the show is worth the price.
21:54Barney, thank you very much.
22:04You all right?
22:05Yeah.
22:06No, you're not. There's something wrong. I can feel it.
22:09You're not up to... What difference does it make now?
22:16I'm not up to you.
22:40Won't be self-defense this time.
22:43You'll have to draw first.
22:46All right, Jeff.
22:52Whenever you're ready.
23:03No paladin!
23:04Me!
23:16All right.
23:22All right, let's get him to a doctor.
23:24Unless we're not finished.
23:27We're finished.
23:31You see paladin?
23:32I didn't turn him into a killer.
23:33I didn't turn him into a killer.
23:35What are they doing here?
23:36Well, you wanted to at least listen and find out.
23:45Mr. Calvert, a long time has passed, and there's been too much bitterness for apologies. But I'd appreciate it if you'd allow me to pay my respects at your wife's grave.
23:58It's a little late for that, isn't it?
23:59Roy, when you first came to this town, you expected the people here to forget what had happened in the past. Now they're asking exactly the same thing of you.

24:13What are you two up to?
24:15Miss Bonn, I'm sorry.
24:16I'm sorry.
24:17It's a little late for that, isn't it?
24:18Roy, when you first came to this town, you expected the people here to forget what had happened in the past.
24:21Now they're asking exactly the same thing of you.
24:24Let it end.
24:31All right, go ahead.
24:33What are you two up to?
