00:00There's one thing I do know, Mr. Bella.
00:15Something is loose on Moon Ridge that's bigger than any man I've ever seen.
00:19And stronger.
00:20Before I leave, I intend to find out what it is and why.
00:30I'm going to find out what it is and why.
01:00We have to follow what he does.
01:07This is the trinity of heaven, earth, and man?
01:10Yes.
01:11Oh, me, the world.
01:14Heaven and the dream.
01:16Hong Xiong Ho-jian.
01:25That's your grandfather.
01:30Mr. Paladin.
01:34You left this on death.
01:38I know, hey boy.
01:39Monster at Moon Ridge.
01:41Girl bewitched by apparition.
01:43Oh, do not go there, Mr. Paladin.
01:48Well, now, what's this?
01:50Fossil bones.
01:51Oh, dragons, too.
01:53Very powerful protection.
01:56Hey, boy, your new country has a much stronger potion for driving off evil.
02:03Equal parts reason and daylight.
02:05But thank you for the thought behind him.
02:17You know, Mr. Lunsey, I think the Salem Witchbrenners would be very happy in your town.
02:39All the windows barred and the door's all locked.
02:41Let me go, please.
02:54Lunsey, help!
02:57Light, please, Mr. Lunsey.
02:58You ain't getting a raggedy.
03:00Stand still.
03:00I ain't done nothing.
03:04Make him let me go, Lunsey.
03:06Who is he?
03:12He's a hobgoblin.
03:14I entertain him every night in my office.
03:16Ain't you heard?
03:18Mr. Paladin, meet Mr. Jake Kelly, who just shot a dollar's worth of silver through my ceiling.
03:23Well, I was just trying to find out who or what was riding in town this hour.
03:32Jake, Mr. Paladin's come here all the way from California.
03:36Dad Bella fired him to find out what's bothering his daughter.
03:39Thought I'd ask you to show him the way up there tonight.
03:42You was going to ask me.
03:44He'll tell you what's the matter with Emily Bella from here.
03:47She's hexed.
03:48Where do you get off at?
03:49Want me to ride in that direction at night?
03:51There ain't nothing up on Moon Ridge.
03:54Nothing.
03:55Except one drunken story piled on top of another.
03:57Just like the story you told with a whiskey bottle at your elbow.
04:01I was just as far away from it as I am from you right now.
04:04I'll tell you, I saw it.
04:06Half man, half bear.
04:08Any werewolves?
04:09Vampire bats?
04:11Unused broomsticks?
04:12I hate to hear just half a story.
04:14Well, if you think I'm crazy, just ask the sheriff here.
04:18Go on, tell them about them crack prints.
04:21Some prints my men thought they saw.
04:23And you saw them, too.
04:25About that far part.
04:27Yeah, human at one end and claws at the other.
04:30Leo Press shot at it.
04:32You ask Leo, and he'll tell you that ordinary lead won't even phase it.
04:36Where do I find Mr. Press?
04:38Leo?
04:39He went back to Texas.
04:41He was a drunk, too.
04:42All right, then.
04:43Ask Hank Conlon.
04:45Found a full-grown steer.
04:46Picked it up, and the neck snapped just like you'd kill a rabbit.
04:50Well, a grizzly could do that.
04:52Sure.
04:52And I suppose a grizzly could cut off its hind quarters and roast it over a fire.
04:56I suppose a grizzly could chain me in the cave.
04:59Chain me with metal links.
05:01When you get up to the battle place, you ask that girl what carried her off.
05:06Don't ask Lundie here, though, because he's a sheriff.
05:08If he admitted there was anything up there, he'd have to go after it.
05:13Can I have my gun back?
05:15Sheriff, is there anything valuable about the Moonridge country?
05:38Minerals, grazing land?
05:40You mean some reason why somebody would want to scare people away?
05:43And, uh, miners are all through that country in the 50s.
05:47Formations ain't right for gold, silver, anything valuable.
05:51Even the ancients don't want it.
05:53They call it shadow country, spirit land.
05:56Well, you know how Indians are.
05:59Ignorant, not like us.
06:02You know, until a few moments ago, I was feeling very superior to a Chinese friend of mine.
06:06I forgot that he came by his superstitions, honestly.
06:11He learned them from the cradle.
06:15I can't find any such excuse for you.
06:20Well, what are you getting at? I ain't superstitious.
06:22Oh, you expecting feminine company tonight?
06:27What?
06:31Mistletoe?
06:31I guess I am kind of rushing the Christmas season, huh?
06:41Yeah.
06:41There's also a story that helps ward off evil spirits.
06:47The Bella Place is straight north out of town.
06:50It's the last house on the road to the Moonridge country.
06:54The Bella Place is on the road to the Moonridge country.
07:24Good evening.
07:42Miss Emily Bella.
07:54My name is Paladin.
08:08I've had many small disappointments in my life.
08:11But you, I think, will not be one of them.
08:14You will taste my wine, huh?
08:16One moment if you please.
08:21Emily.
08:23You promised to tell Papa when you stepped outside, remember?
08:29Come, come.
08:30It's cold out.
08:38And to a visitor, a big girl does what?
08:42How do you tell her?
08:53Sit down, Mr. Paladin.
09:15Sit down, Mr. Paladin.
09:24A dozen years ago, Mr. Paladin, there was in this valley an epidemic, I believe is the word.
09:33It took from me my wife, almost my daughter.
09:39I'm sorry.
09:41Such a fever.
09:43Afterwards, Emily's body continued to grow, but in her mind she still remains a child.
09:49She was the only one afflicted?
09:51No, no.
09:52There were others.
09:54People treated them like animals until their parents took them away.
09:58I saw I must leave too, bring Emily here, far from town.
10:03The land is not very good, but we manage and I teach my clumsy fingers to make small things for Emily.
10:13She is of such an age when toys are pleasant.
10:15Well, I think Emily is very fortunate to have you for a parent.
10:20I think she is fortunate in other things, but perhaps you do not understand.
10:25Perhaps.
10:27It's no great tragic thing to remain a child.
10:31Theirs is the best age.
10:33Their world is mysterious, wonderful, half real and half make-believe.
10:40Mr. Bella, the world we live in is not always so pleasant.
10:46I think maybe you are a wise man, Mr. Paladin.
10:49Right now I'm a very confused man.
10:52I understood that Emily's condition was the result of shock or some unusual circumstance.
10:59A spell cast by the monster of Moonridge?
11:03Well, since there is no monster of Moonridge...
11:08Mr. Bella, why do you want to pay me two hundred dollars?
11:13Your telegram said five.
11:15Mr. Bella, you haven't answered my question.
11:18Since there is no monster of Moonridge, why do you want to pay me two hundred dollars?
11:23There is something on Moonridge, Mr. Paladin.
11:27It took Emily from me for a week.
11:29For a week I searched for her.
11:31I found her prints.
11:34And other prints, too, which I will not describe to you.
11:39Maybe because I am afraid you will think I exaggerate.
11:43And twice, Mr. Paladin...
11:46I have found beneath her window, here, those same prints.
11:53Then, Mr. Bella, I suggest that it's time for Emily to go back to Moonridge.
12:01All three of us. We'll start together in the morning.

15:14Emily!
15:15You know, before I was interrupted, I was about to say that I did not believe in witchcraft, sorcery,
15:23et cetera.
15:24However, if you have any contrary thoughts on the subject, will you excuse me, please?
15:53Well, since you and I are chained here together, and there's nothing better to do, shall we try again?
16:02Now, you look to me like an intelligent bear.
16:06As far as bears go, quite satisfactory.
16:10But, as a devil, or an apparition, you know, I suspect you're something of a fraud.
16:18Hmm.
16:19Oh.
16:20Excuse me.
16:25You mind?
16:28Oh, do you have a...
16:29Oh, no.
16:32Well, since I can't reach that torch, I guess there's no smoking in this theater.
16:40Well, uh, do I applaud?
16:42Has the play begun?
16:44Uh, at least one of the actors is present.
16:57Of course.
16:59It's Macbeth.
17:00Enter the first witch.
17:02Oh, may I?
17:19Thank you very much.
17:32Yes, sir.
17:34Yes, sir.
17:35Yes, sir.
17:36Yes, sir.
17:37You must continue.
17:38I am?
17:40It's not true.
17:41I'm a vampire.
17:42Il is only a vampire.
17:43It's not true.
17:44Oh, no.
17:49I'm a vampire.
17:51Oh, my vampire.
17:53This, my eyes isn't too old.
17:58We must enjoy this.
17:59Let's go.
18:29Oh
18:59I've been riding all night Emily led me a wild chase then I found the horses and I later at night found your gun Santa Maria
19:09I say to myself maybe there are devils what I would find today I could not even guess
19:13Mr. Bella has anyone been harmed I mean physically injured up here in the moonridge country
19:19no no that is true but would you like to see Emily now
19:23you've seen Emily is she all right she's all right come on
19:29go the rest of the way on foot
19:59the
20:06the
20:08the
20:10the
20:12the
20:19the
20:21the
20:23the
20:24the
20:30the
20:32the
20:34the
20:36the
20:38the
20:40That's how they made the prints that have been scaring everyone.
20:43I imagine his mother taught him that.
20:45And some other tricks as well.
20:47You know her?
20:48Maria.
20:50An exceptional woman.
20:51She was the teacher until her son...
20:55the epidemic.
20:57Run out of town by ignorance and prejudice.
21:01Come on.
21:10I was afraid of you.
21:22You have no respect for witches.
21:24I do have respect for some things.
21:26Courageous, intelligent women, for example.
21:30So this is where you ran to.
21:33Where else could I take Clary?
21:34I have no money.
21:36I had to take care of my boy.
21:38Run off people who might ridicule him.
21:40Do you want some hot stew?
21:43Well, how's it brewed?
21:45Pillay of snake and frog's toes seasoned with an incantation.
21:49As you said, enter the first witch.
21:52It's the recipe from Macbeth.
21:54Doesn't sound too delicious.
22:10The soil is good here.
22:12Better than your place.
22:13And the grass and water?
22:14Why talk?
22:15Why not?
22:16There's always some man somewhere who won't be scared off.
22:17Like this one.
22:18Materialize an apparition on a broomstick in front of him...
22:20and he'll ask it to sweep the floor.
22:21There are monsters, Don.
22:23People that come up here and laugh and...
22:25I've run out of tricks.
22:26Clary and I have moved before and we can do it again.
22:30I think if I owned this valley...
22:32just for example, you understand, of course...
22:34there would be no man-bear tracks.
22:36No cave to put foolish men in...
22:38and then release them frightened to run shouting foolish things.
22:41I think, since the last day...
22:43the last day, the last day, the last day, the last day...
22:45the last day, the last day, the last day, the last day...
22:47the last day, the last day, the last day, the last day, the last day...
22:49there would be no man-bear tracks.
22:52No cave to put foolish men in...
22:54and then release them frightened to run shouting foolish things.
22:58I think, since I am a man...
23:01there would be a gun in my hand.
23:03Friends would be welcome.
23:05Others would not. It would be that simple.
23:10A man has something to say.
23:12He comes right out and he says it.
23:14No, no, no. Don't rush me.
23:16I, uh...
23:18I think I like your cooking.
23:19I, uh...
23:20I think I like the land.
23:22And I think I'll be going.
23:24Mr. Bella...
23:25I expect $200 to be deposited in my account in San Francisco...
23:29and I suspect you got a good deal more than you bargained for.
23:33And you will get what you bargained for.
23:35500.
23:36You'll have to ride through town, I suppose.
23:38Talk to the sheriff.
23:40Well...
23:41Ignorant and prejudiced people like to be deceived.
23:43And I think they deserve it when they are.
23:46Why confuse them with the truth?
23:50Oh, excuse me. There's a friend of mine out there.
23:53Bye.
23:55You know, baby, I'll tell you something confidentially.
23:58When I asked you in that cave if you had anything to say...
24:00I'm very glad you didn't.
24:01Oh?
24:02Oh, dear.
24:03I don't know.
24:04It's a good deal.
24:05It's a good deal.
24:06There's a good deal.
24:07I've got to do it.
24:08I'll be right back.
24:09You know, baby, I'll tell you something confidentially.
24:12I'll be right back.
24:13You know, baby, I'll tell you something confidentially.
24:16When I asked you in that cave if you had anything to say...
24:18I'm very glad you didn't.
24:20Oh?
24:21Those are my sentiments.
24:22Exactly.
24:23I'm glad you didn't.
24:25Oh?
24:27Those are my sentiments.
24:29Exactly.
