00:06The Rifleman
00:14Starring Chuck Connors
00:36Jacob, Jacob, Mr. Black
00:41Well, Mr. McCain and Mark, hey, good morning
00:45Glad to see you so happy, Jacob
00:47And for good reason, Lucas, for good reason
00:50Well, then maybe I picked the right day to talk business with you, huh?
00:53Business? Any day is the right day for that, what do you want?
00:56Well, that strip of land you've got, Jacob, along the creek bed that runs into mine
01:01I'm getting tired of going around it, I'd like to straighten out my boundary line
01:04Well, that's for sale, I told you that
01:07I'll pay you a fair price, I've told you that, but not a nickel more
01:10Then walk around it
01:11Now look, Jacob, I've been a good neighbor to you
01:13No, I don't deny that
01:14And that strip of land is no use in the world to you
01:16That's right
01:17Well, then why do I have to pay you an unreasonable profit?
01:19Well, no reason, except that I own it and you want it
01:21I don't want it, Jacob, I just don't want to walk around it anymore
01:24There's a price on that land, either take it or leave it
01:27Good day, Lucas
01:28Good day, Mark
01:31I know you and Mr. Black are good friends, Paul
01:34But you sure do argue a lot
01:35Well, we are good friends, son
01:37But sometimes he gets under my skin
01:39Come on
01:40Look out, run away!
01:42Wait!
01:52My son!
01:54Hey, my son!
01:55Goblet!
01:55My son!
01:56I feel like Tim
01:56He might be another
01:56The only thing that he does
01:58Is there his body?
01:58Okay, khi
01:59You're gone
01:59I don't know
02:00Remember
02:01I feel like
02:01He's too
02:02Like
02:11Baby
02:15¡Gracias!
02:46¡Gracias!
03:11Lucas.
03:18I want to ask you a favor.
03:20No, don't worry, Jacob. I'll look after you, please.
03:23Get somebody else to look after my place.
03:26I want you to go to Willow Springs.
03:28Willow Springs? What for?
03:30Two months ago, I went to...
03:34St. Louis, remember?
03:37I got married.
03:41Surprised.
03:44First time I've been happy in 15 years.
03:51She's gotten as far as Willow Springs.
03:59On my way to North Fork, waiting for connecting stage.
04:04Well, it's a full week before the stage comes in from Willow Springs.
04:07That's right, Jacob.
04:08I want to see her before.
04:11Doc.
04:12Seven days.
04:15I wouldn't count on it, Jacob.
04:17Doc, riding hard. I could bring her here in three, maybe four.
04:21I couldn't even guarantee that.
04:24Oh, Lord.
04:26I want to see her one more time.
04:29Oh, Lord.
04:30Jacob.
04:31I'll go to Willow Springs.
04:34Thanks.
04:35Thanks.
04:35Thank you.
04:36It'll take three, maybe four days.
04:39Three days.
04:42I'll wait.
04:51Lucas.
04:53I'll...
04:54I'll...
04:54I'll make it worth your while.
04:57I'll do this much for a neighbor, Jacob.
04:59Not for pay.
05:01Thanks anyway.
05:10How is he?
05:11Can't tell yet, son.
05:12But he's a tough old man.
05:13Now, we've got some work to do.
05:14Yes, sir.
05:15You round up Mr. Black's stock and run him with ours.
05:18Get one of the boys to help you.
05:19You think he can do that?
05:20Sure.
05:20Good.
05:21I've got to go to Willow Springs to fetch Mrs. Black.
05:23Mrs. Black?
05:24I'll be gone.
05:24Well, never mind that now.
05:25I'll be gone three days, maybe more.
05:27You stay with Millie and ride out every day and water the stock.
05:30Oh, Paul, I don't have to stay with Millie?
05:32Well, I'm old enough to take care of myself.
05:34You're old enough and smart enough to know I don't want to worry about you.
05:37I won't if you stay with Millie.
05:38I don't think you want me to.
05:40Well, that's better.
05:40Now, let's get home.
05:41I need supplies and another horse.
05:50You remember to look after Mr. Black's stock, son.
05:53And be sure to quit early enough to get to Millie's by sundown, huh?
05:56I will.
05:57Don't worry about a thing.
05:59I'm going to miss you, Paul.
06:02I'm going to miss you too, son.
06:12See you next time.
06:13I would miss you, Paul.
06:16Bye.
06:27Bye.
06:56Gracias por ver el video.
07:06Gracias por ver el video.
07:32Gracias por ver el video.
08:02Gracias por ver el video.
08:30Gracias por ver el video.
09:35Oh, heavens. Oh, merciful heavens.
09:39How dreadful a poor man.
09:41Oh, the poor, poor man.
09:43What of me?
09:44What will I...
09:50Strange.
09:52I've played it 20 times this scene.
09:55Wife at a gay party when the news of death comes.
09:58But I...
09:59I...
10:00I never knew how it would feel.
10:04It just feels lost.
10:12I'm an actress, Mr. McCain.
10:14Beth Garrett.
10:15They know me in the middle race.
10:16We'll have to hurry, ma'am.
10:17I've got a horse for you.
10:18Strikes me as a long ride for a poor errand.
10:21You said yourself that Black had been just hanging on.
10:24He'd likely be dead by the time he get there.
10:27Beth, you ever ride a horse for two, three days cross country?
10:31I...
10:32I have to go to him.
10:33Don't I?
10:34You hardly knew him, according to what you told us.
10:37Maybe a week.
10:39This is none of your business.
10:41Look, Mr. I'm as sentimental as the next fellow, but let's be practical.
10:45Practical?
10:46Sure.
10:47Look at the odds.
10:49I'll bet money she gets there just in time for the burying.
10:52What could I say to him?
10:55I don't know him, really.
10:58Are you coming with me, Mrs. Black?
11:00Or will you be practical?
11:02Thank you for your trouble, Mr. McCain.
11:04I'm sorry you had it for nothing.
11:38You're going back with me if I have to tie you to the horse.
11:41Just what do you expect to accomplish, big man?
11:44Hey, just a minute.
11:46What?
11:46Well, if you say you're an actress, well, you're going to play act and love your wife because Jacob believes
11:49it.
11:50You're going to make one old man's death a little easier.
11:52Well, what about my playlists? I can't go like that.
11:54Yes, you can.
11:55You're going to make one more time.
11:55All right.
12:22All right.
12:23¡Gracias!
13:09¿You hurt?
13:10I don't know. I'm still too scared.
13:13Hey, let me help you out.
13:14You can be nice, can't you?
13:17You mean you fell off that horse on...
13:19Mm-hmm.
13:23Hey, tall man.
13:24You're not going to walk away from me now, are you?
14:06It's a restless night.
14:09It'll be a while until everything settles down to sleep.
14:12It'll get quiet.
14:15Is this a friendly country?
14:19To live in, I mean.
14:21Folks are friendly enough.
14:24People are the same everywhere, not to be trusted.
14:28I mean the land, the country.
14:32You have to fight the land.
14:35And love it, too.
14:38It's been good to you?
14:42I think it's a lonely country.
14:45Things are wide apart.
14:47And people.
14:49Oh, it can be lonely.
14:51Here or anywhere.
14:53That's the worst, I think.
14:55Loneliness.
15:01Does it ever reach you?
15:07Do you live alone?
15:09I have a boy, Mark.
15:11We live alone.
15:12In town?
15:14A few miles out.
15:16On a little ranch.
15:18Mark McCain.
15:20Sounds nice.
15:21How old is he?
15:23Twelve.
15:23He's a good boy.
15:26Who keeps house for you?
15:28We do.
15:29As well as we can.
15:32I can hardly remember a time when I wasn't alone.
15:35No one to share with.
15:37No one to depend on.
15:39No relatives?
15:41No.
15:44I guess that's really why I like being an actress.
15:48In a play, you can pretend to belong to somebody.
15:54At least for a little while.
15:56Poor substitute strikes me.
15:58Oh, it has its good points.
16:01You're not stuck with people you don't like.
16:05But it's not a good way to live.
16:08You're always moving around.
16:12That's bad.
16:13No roots anywhere.
16:15No roots anywhere.
16:19That's really why I agreed to marry him.
16:23But it wasn't because he had money.
16:25It was, more than anything, a place to belong.
16:31He was kind to me and gentle and, well, that's enough to start with.
16:36Maybe.
16:38Oh, I'd have made him a good wife.
16:40Those men in Willow Springs, they didn't mean anything to me.
16:42They were just, just company.
16:45Because I was lonely on the road.
16:47Can't you understand that?
16:49Oh, I understand loneliness.
16:52I know how it tastes and how it smells.
16:57People do strange things because of it.
16:59I've seen them.
17:00Stranger things that make it an unlikely marriage.
17:06I've done some funny things myself.
17:10At times it seemed everything was empty.
17:21No one to care, no one to belong to.
17:32Do you belong to anyone?
17:37Do you?
17:44Come here, Lucas.
17:48Come here.
18:01You're Jacob's wife.
18:07Loneliness doesn't excuse everything.
18:09Holier than thou.
18:11That's you're good at.
18:12That's easy for you.
18:13You're never weak, are you?
18:15Tomorrow morning we'll be in North Pole.
18:17You can put on your act for the man you married.
18:20And make him believe it.
18:24Oh, he'll believe it.
18:29He'll believe it.
18:43Hello, son.
18:44Everything go all right?
18:46Just fine.
18:47Kind of got lonesome for you, though.
18:48How's Jacob?
18:50Just the same.
18:51Still waiting, the doc says.
18:53They moved him to the billiards room in the hotel where he could stretch out flat without twisting.
18:58Is this Mrs. Black?
19:00It's my boy Mark.
19:01Mrs. Black, son.
19:02I thought it must be.
19:03He looks so like you.
19:04How are you, Mark?
19:06Just fine.
19:07Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
19:26This isn't the time for that.
19:27There'll never be a bad time.
19:29Just how do you think he expects me to look?
19:31Dusty and messy or pretty?
19:35Yeah.
19:36It's the best I can do.
19:40You stay here, son.
19:46Jacob.
19:48Beth.
19:50You dare, Beth.
19:51Oh, Jacob, you poor man.
19:53We'll get you well.
19:54I'll take care of you.
19:55I'll be loving.
19:56You'll see.
19:57I just wanted to see you again.
19:59Just once more.
20:00Please don't, Jacob.
20:02Don't say that.
20:03I don't want to leave you.
20:06Before God, I don't.
20:08I want to have a home together.
20:11Oh, we will.
20:12We will.
20:13At least you'll have some money on the house.
20:17Lucas will help.
20:19Won't you, Lucas?
20:20Sure, Jacob.
20:22Thank you for everything.
20:24You've been a good neighbor.
20:27Beth.
20:28I'm sorry.
20:29I'm sorry.
20:42No one ever worried about me before.
20:48I'm very sorry to put you through this.
20:53Sorry it had to be this way.
20:56It's what you wanted, isn't it?
20:58He died happy, didn't he?
21:00I guess so.
21:03I meant my promise to him.
21:05I'll help you any way I can.
21:07Are you satisfied?
21:09Was the performance all right?
21:13Oh, don't you think I played the bereaved wife properly?
21:18Yeah.
21:19I guess you are a pretty good actress.
21:27That poor woman.
21:29What's she going to do now, Paul?
21:31She'll be sad for a while, son.
21:33Then she'll find a way to go on like everybody does.
21:35Come on.
21:36Lucas.
21:38What's this?
21:40Jacob had me write it up.
21:41And he signed it.
21:43Those two acres along the creek bed that you always wanted.
21:46He had me turn them over to you.
21:48He said he couldn't rest easy if he left this world beholden to anybody.
21:54So, there was something in it for you after all.
21:57A price to be paid.
21:58And you, with your holier-than-thou attitude,
22:01I should have known you were too good to be true,
22:03Mr. Almighty Lucas McCain.
22:06No matter what you think of me,
22:08this has nothing to do with the fact that I promised Jacob I'd help you.
22:11I don't need your help, and there's nothing in it for you.
22:13Well, here's your deed.
22:13I don't do favors for pay.
22:15Be as honest as you are stubborn.
22:18Are you sure you didn't expect anything in return?
22:20Wouldn't it be strange if Jacob didn't find a way to pay you back?
22:26The thought did cross your mind, didn't it?
22:31You're human, after all.
22:35It crossed my mind.
22:37I have my human moments, too.
23:03That was a good supper.
23:05Thanks for staying in town, Paul.
23:06You're welcome, son.
23:08Millie took me out for supper every night you were gone.
23:10Well, that was nice of her.
23:12Imagine Mr. Black waiting those three days.
23:15Guess he really loved her.
23:17Mm-hmm.
23:17I guess he did.
23:20Despite you being so much older,
23:21could you explain love to me?
23:24Oh, you don't want me to try and answer that now, do you, son?
23:26Yes, I do.
23:29Well, Mark, it's a lot of things.
23:32It means different things to different people, depending on what they want.
23:37For some, it means sharing.
23:39For some, taking.
23:41For some, just doing for others.
23:44Yeah, but how does it feel?
23:51Well, if you love someone who loves you,
23:54and you both mean the same thing by it,
23:58it feels good.
24:00Happy and safe.
24:03And sharing.
24:05What did she mean when she said that you were too good to be true?
24:09Well, I guess you...
24:13I guess she meant I have my faults, Mark.
24:17Why?
24:18Come on, let's go home.
24:50Come on, let's go home.
25:20Come on, let's go home.
25:23Come on, let's go home.
25:23Come on, let's go home.
