00:00You're very quick to confess for everyone else.
00:16Since we have no understanding between us, I have no choice but to kill you.
00:30I have no choice but to kill you.
01:00Will you please?
01:08Hey, boy. We have rats in this hotel?
01:11Square host, Mr. Peloton. No rats.
01:14Hey, boy.
01:16Oh! I forgot. I saved this for you.
01:21See?
01:23Detective wanted to find missing heir, John Thorpe.
01:26Missing heir. Very special item.
01:30Damsel in distress seeks man with some legal knowledge. Box 23.
01:35Well, hey, boy. The other side's even more interesting.
01:37Will you get me my billfold from the dressing room, please?
01:41You're welcome, Mr. Peloton.
01:42You're welcome.
01:46We'll see you tonight, Mr. Peloton.
01:48We'll see you tonight.
01:50Who'd be able to do that?
01:54Will you come after me?
01:56We'll see you tonight, Mr. Peloton.
01:59You're welcome.
02:00We'll be ready.
02:02I'd like to see Monsieur Garneau, please.
02:15Monsieur Garneau is not.
02:17I'm Michel Garneau, the only elf. May I help you?
02:20I hope so, ma'am.
02:24The unpleasant aldehyde scent.
02:27Trace of jasmine, touch of honeysuckle, and...
02:30Rose character predominates.
02:32When you finish that, it should be excellent.
02:34You are a designer of portrait.
02:36No, I am an appreciator of designs.
02:38My name is Paladin.
02:40Oh, Monsieur Paladin, please, sir.
02:44Very few damsels in distress are so charming.
02:48Just for someone who's very dear to me.
02:50Oh.
02:51My nephew, he ran away from home,
02:53and I have a wire that he's in a little trouble in Cilito.
02:57He's Pierre de Vorel.
02:58He wears the trouble like a boutonniere.
03:03He's disinhered by his father, a stern and wealthy man.
03:07He will not permit the boy's mother, my sister, to help their son.
03:11So she turned to me, and I turned to you.
03:14Well, I'm delighted you heard.
03:16Monsieur de Vorel gives my sister very little,
03:18and I have, uh, not much.
03:26Well, money is one of the lesser endowments.
03:31I have some very fine old, uh, cognac.
03:36That's an excellent beginning.
04:02Take your business.
04:05I want to see the sheriff.
04:07Hand me your gun belt.
04:32That could be one of them.
04:45What do you want?
04:47I want to see about one of your prisoners.
04:49Yeah, I suspected that.
04:51Who are you?
04:52My name's Paladin.
04:59These are all letters of credit.
05:02San Francisco Bank seemed to trust you.
05:06I guess I can, too.
05:07Thank you, Sheriff.
05:09Our welcome mat must have seemed full of cockleburs,
05:12but we've got to be very careful.
05:14This is Fitzgerald.
05:15Been two tries to kill him in the past week.
05:17I was beginning to get real self-conscious.
05:20And then somebody tried to poison my prisoner.
05:22Poison?
05:24His name Pierre Devereaux?
05:26We call him Pete.
05:28What's his bail?
05:30Go put your money away, mister.
05:32After 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, you can have him for nothing.
05:35Right after the hanging.
05:38He's going to hang?
05:39By the neck.
05:40You the one he sent that wire to?
05:42Well, what happened?
05:44Stage holdup.
05:45Fitzgerald here is one of the passengers.
05:48There were four highwaymen.
05:50This youngster took me aside, the other side of the coach, away from the others.
05:53He took all my money.
05:54He started not to take it.
05:56I'll carry a denger.
05:57I thought he was going to kill me.
05:59I shot him in the head.
06:00I just grazed it.
06:02Then I ran out before his friends would come around.
06:04When I got there, the driver and the passengers were dead.
06:07Kid was still there, unconscious.
06:09Then he's being hung on circumstantial evidence.
06:12Well, the jury might have been influenced by the fact that he signed a full confession.
06:19I see him.
06:42Pierre Devereaux, my name's Pete.
06:48Mine's Paladin.
06:49Your family sent me.
06:51Well, let's go.
06:53Well, I wish it were that easy, but it's not.
06:55Well, that's what you're here for, isn't it?
06:57I guess I made a pretty big splash in the papers back home.
07:00In what way?
07:01Well, there must have been something.
07:03No, nothing.
07:04Oh, just like my father.
07:06He reads the front page and the market reports.
07:09Who was it founded for him on page two?
07:11Now, in San Francisco, you may have been a big boy, but out here in this town, now, today,
07:17you're nothing but a rope stretcher.
07:19They're not gonna hang me, mister.
07:21I can see the courtyard.
07:22They haven't even built their gallows yet.
07:24These people will hang you from a tree limb or a wagon tongue.
07:28You better try and understand that.
07:29As things look now, you're gonna be hung tomorrow morning.
07:32Look, I didn't do it.
07:34You didn't do it.
07:36You just confessed to them.
07:38Well, that's logical. That makes sense.
07:40They wouldn't let me get a message out of here unless I signed their papers.
07:45You confessed in order to get word to your family.
07:49Oh, yeah. That and I...
07:52You see my papa picking up a paper.
07:55A devil up for murder.
07:57Apparently, you find this very hard to believe.
08:00But to the world at large, you just aren't that important.
08:06All right, forget what I've done wrong. You tell me what to do right.
08:09He's a nice fellow, ain't he, Pellin?
08:11Why don't you tell him about them three men with beards now?
08:14Well, I get off if I tell you. He won't even help me.
08:16If I can find the other men.
08:18Your main concern should be trying to survive the next 18 hours.
08:21It ain't likely.
08:23Well, their names were Dink, Luss, and Waller.
08:26I met him by accident. Was only with him a day and a half.
08:29They all three wore beards.
08:32They only used their first names.
08:34Dink fancied himself as some kind of a gunfighter.
08:37And Luss was always complaining about his left shoulder being sore where...
08:41where he'd been gored.
08:43And Waller got drunk on a couple of drinks.
08:45And Luss and Waller carried big bore rifles.
08:47They all had a strange kind of smell. Musky or rancid like.
08:54Well, that sounds like buffalo hunters.
08:57Were the rifle hammers worn?
08:59Yeah.
09:00They carry skinning knives.
09:01Yeah, knives honed down till there wasn't a half inch of steel left.
09:04I see you in your office.
09:07Oh, then wait a minute. What are you gonna do?
09:09I'm gonna find out which time you were lying.
09:17Wait a minute.
09:24It's probably a Wells Fargo man.
09:27No. That was an overland stage.
09:30Pinkerton then.
09:32I don't know.
09:35But we're sticking here anyway.
09:39He's still in the jail. Fitzgerald's in there with him.
09:42If Fitzgerald or the kid identified us...
09:44How?
09:45We shaved off our beards.
09:48Yeah, anyone can tell that a mile off.
09:51And we'll fix that right now.
10:02Oh, now, wait a minute.
10:04The kid's seen us, so did Fitzgerald, like he said at the trial.
10:07Rathweizen didn't work on the kid.
10:10No matter, they hang him to Marr anyway.
10:13And you both missed that Irishman twice.
10:18But he can't stay in that Calaboos forever.
10:21He'll come out after the hanging.
10:24I'll get him.
10:27What about the man in black?
10:30Maybe...
10:33we ought to get him when he comes out.
10:36Well, let's go over it once more.
10:39Where was Pete when you found him?
10:41On the ground.
10:43On the right side of the stage.
10:45Where were the dead men?
10:47Well...
10:49They were on the left side of the stage.
10:51Where was Pete when you shot him?
10:53On the right side.
10:55Were there any spent cartridges in his gun?
10:58No, but he could have reloaded.
11:00Were there any spent cartridges on the ground around him?
11:03No.
11:04Were the holes in the dead men big, like those a buffalo gun would make?
11:11Well, they were pretty big.
11:13Well, now that leaves a lot of holes in that confession, doesn't it?
11:17Well, they don't leave one at the bottom, where it's signed.
11:20How do you do, sir?
11:38Good afternoon.
11:39You took two lines.
11:40I want a double bed.
11:41Stable my horse.
11:42Send the gear up to my room.
11:44Afternoon.
11:45Good afternoon.
11:52Good afternoon.
12:07Good afternoon.
12:37Good afternoon.
13:07You.
13:09Black suit.
13:12You mind moving on?
13:14You got any interest in that back shooter they're hanging tomorrow?
13:17I'm interested in him.
13:18He had some partners.
13:20Said so at the trial.
13:22And I'm thinking...
13:24Maybe you're one of them.
13:26Why don't you go away?
13:28Who are you, mister?
13:37You want some advice, mister?
13:52Well, I generally leave a town when I'm ready.
13:55You have some particular reason for wanting me out of town?
13:58I hate rattlesnakes and I hate gunfighters.
14:00Because I've been bit and I've been shot.
14:02You have me at a disadvantage.
14:04Because I think you might be somebody I'd be very interested in keeping alive.
14:08I can't say the same for you.
14:10Now, if you're calling me out, you're making a very bad mistake.
14:14Why don't you just run along?
14:28Why don't you just run along?
14:58Why don't you go ahead and stop me?
15:00Let's go.
15:12Mr. Paladin?
15:14You kind of sneak into town like a Chinese stampede.
15:17That was my best lead so far.
15:19He'd still be alive if he hadn't kicked my chair.
15:21Pete said this dink was kind of gun-happy.
15:23Might have took after you on his own.
15:25they tried to gun fitzgerald twice do you suppose i could get him to come out as a decoy
15:31he ain't about to leave that jail till you're sure the rest of the gang is gone
15:34what are you going to do now not much i can do except make myself the biggest and easiest target

20:31It sure smells funny, doesn't it?
20:33The whole room smells like that now.
20:35You know what it is?
20:36It smells like buffalo.
20:38Who had this breakfast?
20:40216.

20:44Just one breakfast.
20:52Say, you'll have the best breakfast in the house.

21:08Lusk was always complaining about his stiff left shoulder where he got gored.
21:38What are you doing?
21:58I'm hanging you.
22:01That's murder.
22:02That's lynching.
22:05But you're only one man.
22:07Well, given time, I could collect a crap.
22:10Now, who are you?
22:12My name's Hopper.
22:14Hopper?
22:15Mr. Hopper, I hope you're lying, because if you're not, you're going to have every reason to be really angry with a fellow named Lusk.
22:22But... but...
22:26Who killed the men at the stagecoach?
22:29I don't know what you're talking about.
22:31Well, since we have no area of understanding, the only thing I can do is proceed with this hanging.
22:35I'll put you up on the stool.
22:37I don't have time for a scientific job.
22:39I'd say it'd take you about... about three minutes to die.
22:42The kid did it.
22:43He confessed.
22:44He was lying.
22:45Dink did it.
22:46Gunfighter Dink.
22:47He... he did it.
22:48Dink didn't have a rifle.
22:49They were killed with a rifle.
22:51Well, Mr. looks like you got us.
22:58I'll tell you the truth.
23:02Waller did it.
23:07You're very quick to confess for everybody else.
23:11Where's Waller?
23:12He took out.
23:14Oh, did he now?
23:16There!
23:17Waller took out?
23:19There are three saddlebags on that chair there.
23:24Waller left without his?
23:26Why didn't you both go?
23:28Well, we had to stick around till they strung up the kid.
23:32Then Fitzgerald would come out of the jail and we'd get him.
23:36No witnesses.
23:37What about me?
23:38Well, you... you sat there like a duck all night.
23:42Figured we could get you anytime.
23:44Waller, get him!
23:47Longer!
23:48Longer!
23:49Come on!
23:50Come on!
23:51Come on!
23:52Get him!

24:02Well, you can all go home.
24:19No hanging today.
24:32Well, Lutz, get up.
24:46Get up, son.
24:47That was only a rehearsal.
24:48Have gun, will travel, reach the card of a man.
25:04A knight without armor in a savage land.
25:11Is fast gone for hire, he's the calling wind.
25:19A soldier of fortune is a man called Paladin.
25:29Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam?
