00:06:40♪♪
00:06:50Waiter!
00:06:57Stand clear!
00:06:59Crane!
00:07:02Ruth.
00:07:03It's between me and him.
00:07:06You got it in the arm.
00:07:08I aim for his red part.
00:07:10Your performance is never up to your intentions.
00:07:13Ruth, take Crane home.
00:07:16Oh, welcome, Sheriff, welcome.
00:07:19Now that you're here, is it in your capacity to arrest this man?
00:07:23He broke into my house, tried to kill me.
00:07:25Chill!
00:07:28I came here to ask about my father.
00:07:30To ask!
00:07:31Ask, and it will be given thee.
00:07:34But with a rifle in your hands...
00:07:36Come on, Matt.
00:07:39Sheriff.
00:07:51Matt, get a hold of yourself.
00:07:52You put Brookshire out of your mind.
00:07:54You're trying to take on a whole town, not one man.
00:07:56Old folks and women folks and Mexicans.
00:07:59A couple of cripples like Crane, that's what this town is.
00:08:02You come back, on your own legs,
00:08:05swinging your own arms,
00:08:07seeing out of both your eyes.
00:08:12Well, I found my daddy.
00:08:15Tennessee.
00:08:18It's my daddy, all right, but his head was shot off.
00:08:26So, uh...
00:08:28I picked up his rifle.
00:08:30Picked up where he left off.
00:08:34And I stayed to the end.
00:08:37The end. Now, it's over.
00:08:38The war is over!
00:08:39Not here, Nick.
00:08:40No, sir.
00:08:42Not while Brewster can keep it going.
00:08:45Say, Medford bought my farm from Brewster, huh?
00:08:48Well, how'd Brewster get it?
00:08:50Huh? How?
00:08:51How'd Brewster get it?
00:08:52Well, when they auctioned it off, nobody had any real cash, except...
00:08:55Brewster handed up.
00:08:57Just to keep things legal.
00:08:59Legal?
00:09:01Legal, we was mustered out to return home.
00:09:03Articles of surrender didn't say nothing about confiscation.
00:09:05Hey! Hey, boy.
00:09:07Now, you just lost a pint of blood. You quiet down.
00:09:10So, Brewster picked up my farm cheap.
00:09:12Sold at a profit to Medford, huh?
00:09:16Just widows and old folks dying off.
00:09:19Who's picking up their leavings?
00:09:21You get out of this town, boy.
00:09:26It comes morning, you're still here.
00:09:28Pick up your gear and walk out of here.
00:09:30Keep walking. Never come back.
00:09:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:10:18What's the holy racket?
00:10:19Church summons.
00:10:20On Tuesday morning?
00:10:21A funeral for John Medford.
00:10:22Crazy rabbit killed Medford out of his farm last night.
00:10:30This is the meat in this town.
00:10:35How long is this stuff here?
00:10:37In Vegas, no longer than I can help.
00:10:38Quarter hour, maybe.
00:10:42Our good reverend, Brother McMichaels,
00:10:44has given me leave to speak a few words
00:10:47over the body of my friend.
00:10:49And yours?
00:10:51A union hero of Apache Canyon.
00:10:55One of the few to return to us from that valley of death.
00:11:01May John Medford's soul rest in peace.
00:11:04Amen.
00:11:08Peace for John Medford.
00:11:11But not for us, my friends. Not yet.
00:11:14This morning, we woke up to find that we've got still
00:11:16another widow in a town that's already got more than a chair.
00:11:20And she was wounded by a rabble, Matt Weaver.
00:11:23No, the war is not over for us, friends.
00:11:26This Confederate soldier is still in uniform,
00:11:29mine, still, bearing arms.
00:11:31Invaded this township, broke into my house,
00:11:33tried to kill me, broke out of jail.
00:11:34You believe our good sheriff?
00:11:36In the secret places, he did smite to death and innocent.
00:11:40I put it to you.
00:11:41How do we smite this, this enemy of the Lord?
00:11:43Now, listen here.
00:11:44You listen here to me.
00:11:46I brung the first wagons in.
00:11:48I can bring this rebel boy into stand trial.
00:11:52I got to bring him in.
00:11:53Now, we're not forgetting what you done when you was able,
00:11:56you old war horse.
00:11:58We're not gonna send you out to get cut on my crazy rib.
00:12:00Suppose you just tell us what you're working us up to.
00:12:02Now, lacking a posse or the sheriff able to do the job,
00:12:08come to me, we could call on the U.S. Marshal
00:12:10and Santa Fe for help.
00:12:11Except, the U.S. Marshal's got a territory
00:12:13full of looters and rebs to clean out.
00:12:15Last word from Santa Fe, they got a backlog a year long.
00:12:17But we can't wait a year.
00:12:19We can't wait a week.
00:12:20Business will go to pot.
00:12:21Well, how many more can Matt weave a widow in a year?
00:12:26I hear you, Mr. McKeever.
00:12:27Oh, I'm digging into my own pocket.
00:12:30I sent Crane Adams to Amarillo to hire a lawman
00:12:32able to flush that reb out of these hills
00:12:35and end this war we thought was over.
00:12:37A lawman, Mr. Brewster?
00:12:39Crane went to find a gunfighter.
00:12:41A gunfighter kills the man he goes after.
00:12:43No trial, no jury.
00:12:45Guilty or innocent, he kills him.
00:12:47Are you asking us to believe...
00:12:48I'm asking you nothing, Mrs. Adams.
00:12:50Women don't vote here.
00:12:56You turning this funeral service into a meeting, Sam?
00:12:58Well, I've got a vote.
00:13:01And I'm asking you.
00:13:02Are you saying we're not going to vote?
00:13:04And I'm asking you.
00:13:05Are you saying we're not going to hear Matt's side of it?
00:13:07Dispense with all due process of law?
00:13:10How many here besides me lost sons?
00:13:12Hands!
00:13:13Hands!
00:13:14How many here lost husbands?
00:13:16Hands!
00:13:17Due process of law, Barker, in wartime?
00:13:20Until every last murdering reb lays down his arms, it's still war.
00:13:24And we got a new widow in our midst that needs our help.
00:13:27Send not, brother.
00:13:29Send not.
00:13:30Give.
00:13:31Give.
00:13:34And it shall be given unto you.
00:13:39All aboard!
00:13:44You paid through the Santa Fe.
00:13:48About your little life, huh?
00:13:51Don't look for it to last.
00:14:04How'd it go?
00:14:05Bedford's gone for good, and Weaver's good as gone.
00:14:08I'll take over.
00:14:14You sure you want this side of town?
00:14:17Mexican town is just over the wash.
00:14:34Well, you'll be a sight more comfortable here.
00:14:36Billy, uh, take Mr., uh, Mr., uh...
00:14:39Take the gentleman's bags up to number five, front.
00:14:41Say hello, Mr., uh...
00:15:03Hello.
00:15:33Hello.
00:15:50You knew I'd open for that signal.
00:15:58Well, who's out there, Crane?
00:15:59Who else?
00:16:00Nobody's out there.
00:16:04I came here to find out for myself.
00:16:08Did you kill John Bedford?
00:16:13Well, I... I went crazy.
00:16:16Trying to scare him off with bullets.
00:16:20Old Bedford come out with his hands up.
00:16:23To talk, he said.
00:16:24No guns, he said, so I put them on, and, uh, he got close and pulled this.
00:16:30He missed and I didn't.
00:16:33Ruth, I swear, that's what happened.
00:16:37Even if I believed you, what difference would it make?
00:16:39The whole town is after you.
00:16:40I know. I know.
00:16:44But I have weeks walking here, Ruth.
00:16:50And now I... I get here and...
00:16:55Ruth, I'm tore up.
00:16:57Not just Bedford.
00:16:59You and Crane, how could you marry?
00:17:03If you ever came back,
00:17:05I wanted to be sure that I wouldn't be waiting for you.
00:17:09You... you fixed it sure.
00:17:11You never would believe that I cared that much about...
00:17:14about men buying and selling other men.
00:17:16You wouldn't let yourself care.
00:17:18You didn't love me enough to stop yourself from doing the one thing that could finish us off for good.
00:17:22Ruth, I told you a thousand times I had to go find my daddy.
00:17:24That is not why you went.
00:17:25You went because you're pig-headed like your father.
00:17:27Because you couldn't do like the rest if it killed you.
00:17:34Oh, Matt.
00:17:41You yell at me again?
00:17:44Feels real home-like.
00:17:49You're such a mean, stubborn boy. It was the only way I could make you listen.
00:17:55I used to wonder if you'd ever grow up.
00:18:04You never did. Hold that.
00:18:11Oh, I grew up.
00:18:13But you're right. I never was much on reasonableness.
00:18:15And having my phone stolen out from me doesn't make me any more so.
00:18:19You never were and you never will be.
00:18:21I'm glad I didn't wait for you.
00:18:23You happy with Crane?
00:18:26Crane left town yesterday.
00:18:29He went...
00:18:32He went to find a gunfighter.
00:18:34Gunfighter?
00:18:36Fight what?
00:18:37Fight you.
00:18:41Booster.
00:18:45It'll take Crane a week.
00:18:47If you leave now, they'll never find you.
00:18:50That's my mother's grave out there, Ruth.
00:18:53I planted them vines on the porch.
00:18:55I live here till I die. Sooner or later.
00:18:58The longer I live, I'll fight the whole town for the right to die here.
00:19:04Hey, you answer me.
00:19:07You happy?
00:19:10Happy?
00:19:13This is the house I was going to live in until I died.
00:19:16You planted vines.
00:19:18I knew where I was going to plant roses.
00:19:20I loved you.
00:19:22I loved you so much that now I hate you.
00:19:25Because you're a thief, Matt.
00:19:27You stole yourself away from me for nothing.
00:19:30For nothing.
00:19:32You stole my rightful life away from me.
00:19:53I got half dollar says he's a skinny runt tied to a big gun.
00:19:56And all them skinny runts are the ones that get handy with a gun.
00:19:58They got to, you know.
00:20:21Wait here. I'll go find Booster.
00:20:26Dancer.
00:20:33Let me through.
00:20:35Let me through, please.
00:20:37Mr. Booster, this is Mr. Dancer.
00:20:39Good morning, sir.
00:20:41You one-armed toad.
00:20:42Driving a hundred miles and that's the way we rehearse for what?
00:20:44For nothing.
00:20:45Your brains rotting with booze.
00:20:57Mr. Booster, can't you do nothing right?
00:21:00Mr. Booster, I sent you after a gunfighter and what'd you come back with?
00:21:03How do you find a gunfighter?
00:21:05You don't go to church.
00:21:07You go to a saloon.
00:21:09Saloon keeper says the top gun is a fellow by the name of Jewel.
00:21:13But he had to move on and now we're using Dancer.
00:21:16So I go to Dancer and I tell him we're paying $300.
00:21:18Jewel.
00:21:20And you pay his coach fare here.
00:21:22And where is he now?
00:21:24Here. He's here.
00:21:26Jewel, there.
00:21:36Your name, Jewel?
00:21:38No.
00:21:39The hotel register.
00:21:47My name is...
00:21:51Jewel.
00:21:53Jewel.
00:21:56Casper.
00:22:02Die a sting.
00:22:05Jewel, soft J, silent S.
00:22:07Gaspar, silent D.
00:22:09Destin, just a touch of diphthong.
00:22:12Touch of diphthong.
00:22:14Well, try...
00:22:16Jewel.
00:22:18Jewel.
00:22:20I have a taste a little hard.
00:22:23Try this.
00:22:27No.
00:22:29I'm just going to call you if I need you, Jewel.
00:22:33Will you step along to my office now?
00:22:35I'll find out soon enough if I'm going to need you.
00:22:37How many steps?
00:22:41Right down the street here to the bank.
00:22:44The bank.
00:22:46Where the money's kept.
00:22:49Too hot.
00:22:55You a gunfighter?
00:23:02We got a little problem around here.
00:23:04It's quite a story.
00:23:06Quite a story.
00:23:08There's his rib.
00:23:09Where?
00:23:10Uh, on this farm of yours.
00:23:13Just a short ride out of town.
00:23:16Horseback ride.
00:23:18I stay off horses.
00:23:20Well, I...
00:23:21I guess you could walk it.
00:23:24I'm not much for walking either.
00:23:27I'll take care of your rib.
00:23:29$500.
00:23:31I'm not a dancer.
00:23:33I'll take his $300 in account.
00:23:36Now.
00:23:38There.
00:23:40In your breast pocket.
00:23:53Bank is sweating.
00:24:04My hotel room's cooler.
00:24:17After the time you've wasted for us,
00:24:19you'd better pray this Jules what they say he is,
00:24:23and does what he says he'll do.
00:24:25And that's two things I'm settling right now.
00:24:36I'll be back.
00:24:38I'll be back.
00:24:40I'll be back.
00:24:42I'll be back.
00:24:44I'll be back.
00:24:54I'm back.
00:24:55I put your coffee on your desk.
00:24:59What I want to hear is how you're going to earn your money.
00:25:03The bullet in his back, no doubt.
00:25:05It is.
00:25:08What I am talking about is you're here,
00:25:11and he's out there.
00:25:13Now, you won't ride.
00:25:14You won't walk.
00:25:15You'll have to come to me.
00:25:17You'll have to come to me.
00:25:19You'll have to come to me.
00:25:21You'll have to come to me.
00:25:23You'll have to come to me.
00:25:25You'll have to come to me.
00:25:27He can't work a farm under siege.
00:25:29He's been shooting his food.
00:25:30Yeah.
00:25:31First on up, we hear his rifle cracking away.
00:25:34Weaver's always been a dead shot.
00:25:37Not with an empty rifle.
00:25:39Now, where would a man buy or steal bullets in this town?
00:25:43The Emporium.
00:25:45Now, suppose I'm tired of this hotel room.
00:25:48Now, the Emporium might seem more home-like.
00:25:52Not hardly.
00:25:53Adams would live upstairs.
00:25:55Crane might.
00:25:56Ruth.
00:25:57Now, the way you walked into my room,
00:25:58I'd say you owned the hotel.
00:26:00Wouldn't surprise me if you owned a piece of every business
00:26:02in this town.
00:26:04I own more than a piece of the Emporium.
00:26:07I can tell you that.
00:26:09Well, you see, I have more faith in your powers of persuasion
00:26:12than you do.
00:26:16Now, put it to Crane.
00:26:18A man know not how to rule his own house.
00:26:20Is he a man?
00:26:26Yes, sir.
00:26:28Catch Weaver red-handed stealing a...
00:26:31That is a cut above a bullet in the back you got in mid.
00:26:37Yeah, you held a town meeting the other day.
00:26:39How'd they vote?
00:26:41Who?
00:26:45Actually, don't vote.
00:26:48Live here.
00:26:52And if ours say go their way, we go ours.
00:26:55Two separate towns, like.
00:26:56The farmers?
00:26:57Work our farm.
00:26:58They want to eat.
00:26:59Don't eat much.
00:27:00Don't eat much.
00:27:01They're different.
00:27:02Yes, I can see how you could afford to go union.
00:27:03We went union because we're against sedition and slavery.
00:27:06And sin.
00:27:08Oh, but one thy heart read.
00:27:10Well, let's close them out.
00:27:53Ruth.
00:27:54Uh-huh.
00:27:55Miss Adams, this is Mr. Jewel.
00:27:57Yes.
00:27:58Well, Crane, I brought you some business, boy.
00:28:01But I'd be lying, maybe.
00:28:02I got a border for you.
00:28:03Huh?
00:28:04A border.
00:28:05Man, a border.
00:28:06For a couple of days.
00:28:07Mr. Jewel here, you don't fancy the whole town much.
00:28:09We don't take in borders.
00:28:10First time for everything.
00:28:11We don't take in borders.
00:28:13Ruth.
00:28:14I'm putting it to you.
00:28:15What's Ruth got to do with it?
00:28:17The work.
00:28:19A woman's work is never done in a boarding house, I'm sure.
00:28:22I've been meaning to take a long look at these books of yours.
00:28:26First chance I got.
00:28:41Crane, boy, you can't afford an uppercase border.
00:28:44You'll find Miss Adams here is such a nice lady.
00:28:47You heard.
00:28:48You'll be doing the work.
00:28:49If you don't want him here, speak up.
00:28:52Well, that's all, son?
00:28:54Yes.
00:28:55Well, I'll be on my way now.
00:28:57Will you show me the way?
00:29:00Certainly.
00:29:18Oh, a spare room.
00:29:21Means a room to spare.
00:29:23It's never a question of room.
00:29:25Yes, just a company.
00:29:27I do hope you don't find me too troublesome.
00:29:30And what if I do?
00:29:32Well, isn't it easier to keep an eye on me here than from your front steps?
00:30:48It's Crane's.
00:30:50Keep it.
00:30:51Play it beautifully.
00:31:47Sleep well, my child.
00:32:03Silvery dreams be thine.
00:32:07May happiness illumine your way.
00:32:13Comme dans chaque vie.
00:32:16Bien qu'il soit tôt ou tard.
00:32:19On dit qu'il faut qu'il tombe un peu de pluie.
00:32:23Frank.
00:32:25That was Frank.
00:32:28You, French?
00:32:30Creole.
00:32:31Creole.
00:32:34New Orleans.
00:32:36Born in New Orleans.
00:32:40It's funny.
00:32:44Don't you see the joke?
00:32:46Joke's on Brewster.
00:32:48We hired a reb to kill a reb.
00:32:51Born in New Orleans, but no reb.
00:32:53Union?
00:32:54No.
00:32:55Oh, well, now.
00:32:58Let's just hear how you manage that.
00:33:00Managed to be in Mexico.
00:33:01Sat it out.
00:33:02Slacker.
00:33:04Reb or slacker, which makes you feel better?
00:33:06Nothing can make me feel better but you.
00:33:09Put nothing past you.
00:33:11Know what I think?
00:33:12I think you're lying straight through, Creole.
00:33:15I say you're Mexican.
00:33:16Craig.
00:33:18I'll tell you what I am.
00:33:20And what you are.
00:33:22I'm a man with a gun.
00:33:24And you're drunk.
00:33:25Please go.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:41Deuce is wild.
00:33:52I'll open with a dollar.
00:33:54I call.
00:33:55Call.
00:33:56I'm out.
00:33:58A dollar.
00:34:00I'll raise you 15.
00:34:03I'm out.
00:34:08Call.
00:34:09Out.
00:34:12Light.
00:34:14Cards.
00:34:17Two.
00:34:20One.
00:34:23One for the dealer.
00:34:35How about 25?
00:34:37Out.
00:34:4125.
00:34:4325's better.
00:34:49I'll call you, damn it.
00:34:52Beat four aces.
00:34:55Five kings.
00:34:58Show them.
00:35:01Four kings and a deuce.
00:35:05No deuce.
00:35:08Five kings.
00:35:12There's...
00:35:14Never dealt a hand like that before.
00:35:17Never seen such a town.
00:35:19Nobody challenges the deal.
00:35:21Bruce has trained you.
00:35:24The father will collect for me.
00:35:29I'll come by for my money tomorrow.
00:35:33Your own hired hand.
00:35:34And you let them see you and walk away.
00:35:37Jewel.
00:35:38We hired your gun.
00:35:40I favor us with a little sharpshooting exhibition.
00:35:42Tomorrow maybe.
00:35:45Oh!
00:35:48Oh!
00:35:49Oh!
00:35:50Oh!
00:35:51Oh!
00:35:57That's the shooting exhibition tomorrow night.
00:35:59Bring your friends.
00:36:06Good, huh?
00:36:18Craig?
00:36:25Don't tell me the boiler made it home first.
00:36:27I heard shots.
00:36:28They woke me.
00:36:31Just a little gunplay at the saloon.
00:36:33Nobody hurt.
00:36:34Gunplay?
00:36:36Guns are playthings to you?
00:36:39Play and work, Mrs. Adams.
00:36:42Work and play.
00:36:50Tell me something.
00:37:15The truth.
00:37:17Never lie.
00:37:20I...
00:37:24I have this feeling that you...
00:37:26That you are playing with us, all of us.
00:37:31You really don't intend to do what you've been paid to do.
00:37:34Is that a question or a request?
00:37:38I'm not sure.
00:37:40Maybe both.
00:37:45First smile.
00:37:48First in a long time.
00:37:51Much longer since I've laughed.
00:37:54My mother used to scold me for laughing too much.
00:37:56Is that why you stopped?
00:37:59My mother died.
00:38:00My father.
00:38:02When the war reached us here,
00:38:04I don't know, one day I stopped laughing.
00:38:07You are not born here.
00:38:08New England.
00:38:11A white town in a green valley.
00:38:14I wish you'd never left.
00:38:18This came from New England.
00:38:19It was Crane's family.
00:38:22Nothing good comes from the south.
00:38:25I'm not one of those northerners who despises the whole south.
00:38:28We knew a family here that...
00:38:30Well, a southern family.
00:38:32They were wonderful people.
00:38:33Warm, kind, happy.
00:38:37Your second smile.
00:38:43You didn't answer my question.
00:38:46Will I do what I've been paid to do?
00:38:51What would I gain by answering it?
00:39:02Well, your second smile was your last for a while.
00:39:05I'll answer your question.
00:39:07I'm in business for money, and pleasure too.
00:39:09A town that hires a gunfighter is always a henhouse with just one rooster.
00:39:13A few fat capons, a few clipped wings.
00:39:15What happens when a man with a gun walks in?
00:39:17That's play, Mrs. Adams.
00:39:19Fun.
00:39:20When the fun is over,
00:39:22how will the trivia?
00:39:26Where does Crane go at night?
00:39:27Why does he drink?
00:39:29What is Matt Weaver to Crane?
00:39:31What is he to you?
00:39:33Tell me.
00:39:35Was Crane a whole man before he lost his arm?
00:39:38Are you a whole woman?
00:40:04Oh, is this hot in Pecos?
00:40:06Hmm?
00:40:07Hot?
00:40:08Oh, it'll get much hotter before it cools off.
00:40:11In winter.
00:40:12We have snow in winter.
00:40:14Mr. Guthrie used to say it's either burn or freeze in Pecos.
00:40:18The lake.
00:40:19The lake.
00:40:20The lake.
00:40:21The lake.
00:40:22The lake.
00:40:23The lake.
00:40:24The lake.
00:40:25The lake.
00:40:26The lake.
00:40:27The lake.
00:40:28The lake.
00:40:29The lake.
00:40:30The lake.
00:40:31The lake.
00:40:32The lake, Mr. Guthrie.
00:40:36Are those fresh flowers?
00:40:37Hmm?
00:40:39Oh, yes.
00:40:40They're from my garden.
00:40:43May I?
00:40:53I want to buy a horse, Mr. Canalsey.
00:40:55Buy?
00:40:56Nah.
00:40:57Look like you've seen something about, uh,
00:40:59seeing all horses.
00:41:00Until I have to get on one.
00:41:01I want you to keep it here and saddle it up for the next 24 hours.
00:41:04I hear you.
00:41:05Knew we could look for a little action soon, huh?
00:41:07Well, let's see what we got here.
00:41:09Ah.
00:41:13Here's a beauty.
00:41:14Yes, sirree.
00:41:16Do I?
00:41:18There's a steal.
00:41:19$30.
00:41:24Who's stealing from whom, Mr. Canalsey?
00:41:26Four hours riding this horse will go lame.
00:41:29You got a pretty good feel for a horse-eye city fella, huh?
00:41:34Well, now, let's see, uh, what else we got here?
00:41:36You got nothing here but that.
00:41:38Huh?
00:41:39Oh, no, no.
00:41:40That soil ain't for sale.
00:41:41I nursed him up from a colt.
00:41:42Riding myself.
00:41:43I wouldn't sell him for gold.
00:41:45$30 in currency.
00:41:47No, no.
00:41:48I, I wouldn't sell him.
00:41:49No.
00:41:50Can't allow you to cheat yourself, Mr. Canalsey.
00:41:52$30.
00:41:53When I take him out.
00:41:57He's worth $200.
00:41:59$30.
00:42:01I'll saddle him up and keep him saddled.
00:42:11Matt.
00:42:12Senor Matt.
00:42:21Cornmeal.
00:42:23You pour you.
00:42:25And news.
00:42:28Don't find him, John.
00:42:30He's due.
00:42:31Don't worry.
00:42:32But I do, amigo.
00:42:34I have seen him.
00:42:35And today he bought a horse that he will use before tomorrow night.
00:42:39Yeah, well, I'm already waiting for him.
00:42:47If you got it to spare, thank you kindly.
00:42:54But, uh, this, he, he can't spare that.
00:42:58I, I can shoot by it.
00:43:01True.
00:43:02To us, they will not sell shot.
00:43:24Uh, shave, uh, one dime.
00:43:42I admire your enterprise.
00:43:45Uh, the war shorted me on customers, uh, in a manner of speaking.
00:43:49I had to do something to make ends meet.
00:43:52Show me that.
00:43:55I'm showing that on consignment for one of our local widows.
00:44:02Husband didn't make it back.
00:44:05Bargain at $50.
00:44:08I'll take it.
00:44:10I'll pay Mrs. Guthrie when I see her.
00:44:12Well, now, I didn't say Mrs.
00:44:14No, sorry, I, I don't do business with Mrs. Guthrie.
00:44:17No, sorry, I, I don't do business.
00:44:19You can't just, well, what am I going to tell Mrs. Guthrie?
00:44:21I'll tell her.
00:44:24Our motto is eliminate the middleman by hook or crook.
00:44:30I'll tell her.
00:44:59I'll tell her.
00:45:22Senor, you will kill Matt Weaver?
00:45:25How far does it interest you?
00:45:29He is the only man here who treats us like men.
00:45:34Matt Weaver and his father before him.
00:45:36The rat?
00:45:39People aren't simple, are they?
00:45:41Yes, I've been hired to kill Matt Weaver.
00:45:43I'll save you a breath.
00:45:45Until then, they've been wasting theirs.
00:45:48Only a man with a gun can solve their problems.
00:45:50I'm not the man.
00:45:51I don't even understand.
00:46:21You have time to kill me and get away.
00:46:50Cover up for a thief.
00:46:51I won't do it.
00:46:53Oh, Matt.
00:46:57These bullets keep me alive.
00:47:00I'll pay you back.
00:47:02Say what you mean, Matt.
00:47:03Say you're just ready to keep on killing.
00:47:05I told you, Ruth, I'll fight to keep what's mine.
00:47:11I'm ready for your gunfight now, so you just, uh,
00:47:13you send him after me.
00:47:15Is that the way you came here?
00:47:17We'll leave that way now.
00:47:19Ruth, I never thanked you for coming out to warn me.
00:47:22I do thank you, Ruth.
00:47:24Hurry, Matt.
00:47:25Ruth.
00:47:26I'm saying goodbye.
00:47:28Only way I know.
00:47:31I love you, and I'm sorry, like I am.
00:47:36Why don't you cover up?
00:47:45May I join you?
00:47:49Who's he?
00:47:51I brought you here.
00:47:54Oh, sir.
00:47:55Are you the gunfighter?
00:47:57Gunfighter without a gun.
00:47:58Taking quite a chance, sir.
00:48:00I passed out my chance of killing you.
00:48:03I wanted to look you over.
00:48:05I'm sorry, sir.
00:48:06I didn't mean to kill you.
00:48:08I didn't mean to kill you.
00:48:10I didn't mean to kill you.
00:48:11I didn't mean to kill you.
00:48:13I wanted to look you over.
00:48:15Ask a question.
00:48:16Yeah, well, look quick.
00:48:18I've killed so many men these past four years,
00:48:19one more don't matter not.
00:48:21Tell me, you pass up your chance,
00:48:22you think I won't pass up mine?
00:48:24Truth for the night.
00:48:25Oh?
00:48:26Oh, and you believe me when I say I'm crazy?
00:48:28So am I.
00:48:29It's a funny thing, a man crazy to live
00:48:30takes a chance to die.
00:48:32A man who doesn't care takes the same chance
00:48:34and gets away with it.
00:48:36Let's call it as you, Gaspar's law.
00:48:39All right.
00:48:40All right.
00:48:41So far, you're getting away with it.
00:48:43Now, about that question.
00:48:45Why were you the one rab in a union town?
00:48:49What kind of a question?
00:48:53Well, I used to have a reason.
00:48:55Lots of them.
00:48:56Was it to defend your,
00:48:58let's call it your slave-owning rights?
00:49:00Slave-owning rights.
00:49:02Slave-owning rights.
00:49:03Who ever seen a slave in these parts?
00:49:04You, Ruth?
00:49:05Unless you see my palm,
00:49:06me slaving away for Brewster.
00:49:07Paying off loans for seed and stock,
00:49:09took longer to pay off their interest than loans.
00:49:12I know.
00:49:13I know it's a poor, mean excuse of a reason to carry on.
00:49:17Sometimes.
00:49:18Sometimes, it seemed like to me,
00:49:20I went red just to cross Brewster.
00:49:22Don't believe him.
00:49:23He's what he is because he can't do anything
00:49:25like anybody else.
00:49:26And because he hates this town.
00:49:28As much as you do.
00:49:29You both hate this town,
00:49:30and you've allowed it to set you against each other.
00:49:33You think you've found a way of persuading me
00:49:35not to do what I've been paid to do?
00:49:38Have I?
00:49:39If I were human.
00:49:41I'm not, I'm told.
00:49:43You don't want to be.
00:49:45I believe that you are.
00:49:47I say you're gonna try to earn your blood money.
00:49:50Right.
00:49:51You stand between me and something I want.
00:49:54Mm-hmm.
00:49:55But when the time comes,
00:49:56it'll have to know you aren't human.
00:49:58Ruth?
00:49:59Where are you?
00:50:01Ruth!
00:50:08Ruth!
00:50:32You stopped me.
00:50:34Couldn't have you claiming my $500.
00:50:36You let him get away.
00:50:37My aim was off.
00:50:38Yeah, well, I don't see a hot foot in that room.
00:50:40It's been a tiring night.
00:50:41Your wife caught him stealing.
00:50:42I made the mistake of coming to your rescue without my gun.
00:50:45We'll make a fresh start tomorrow.
00:50:47Sure.
00:50:48Good night.
00:50:55Caught him stealing?
00:50:56Yes.
00:50:57Or arranged it?
00:50:59No.
00:51:00Or maybe set up a truce party between him and the gunfighter.
00:51:03Sober up before you accuse me.
00:51:06What did you promise the gunfighter to let me go with?
00:51:36Oh!
00:52:02I saw Mr. Evans.
00:52:03Then I saw you for the...
00:52:05Well, it's early, but I thought you might be...
00:52:07You're not open?
00:52:08We just opened.
00:52:09Well, if Mrs. Adams isn't about yet,
00:52:11I can just come back a little later.
00:52:13What did you have in mind?
00:52:15Just some thread, so it can wait.
00:52:18Mrs. Guthrie,
00:52:20do you know that I am now the proud possessor of this?
00:52:24That isn't why I came here.
00:52:26I don't want you to think that's why I came here.
00:52:28Are you willing to part with it to me?
00:52:31I must part with it.
00:52:33If you're sure you want it.
00:52:35I want it.
00:52:36Now, what did Mr. Fidler say it was worth?
00:52:39He said...
00:52:40He thought I might get $25 for it.
00:52:45Now, 50 is the price.
00:52:47Mr. Fidler quoted.
00:52:49And what it's worth to me.
00:52:50Oh, I...
00:52:51I can't allow you to...
00:52:53Now, Mrs. Guthrie,
00:52:54don't you think you owe yourself
00:52:57a new dress?
00:53:00I haven't had a new dress in...
00:53:03It's been a long time.
00:53:07Silk.
00:53:09Or maybe something gay.
00:53:17I really can't decide.
00:53:19I'm afraid of losing all control
00:53:21with my new found riches.
00:53:22I'll just have to think it over and come back a little later.
00:53:25Thread.
00:53:26Yes, thread.
00:53:27I do need some thread.
00:53:29Twice.
00:53:32Thank you for opening it for me.
00:53:34There you are, Ruth.
00:53:35Good morning, Hannah.
00:53:36And a spool of thread, that's 12 cents, please.
00:53:38It's a lovely morning, isn't it?
00:53:40Just lovely.
00:53:45I pray that the watch will be worth $50 to you.
00:53:49Mrs. Guthrie,
00:53:50if $1 of it finds its way into Mr. Fidler's pocket,
00:53:54I promise you I'll smash the watch.
00:53:57Yes.
00:53:58You...
00:53:59Here you are.
00:54:04I think I'll buy enough material to make a bonnet to match.
00:54:26You don't keep a record of 12 cents, sailors?
00:54:31What are you?
00:54:33You know all you need to know.
00:54:36A hired killer.
00:54:37How could you choose such a life?
00:54:39Choose?
00:54:40Why did you marry Crane Adams?
00:54:43Shall I help?
00:54:45You both loved music.
00:54:47He lost his arm in the holy war to free the slaves.
00:54:50Lost music with his arm.
00:54:52So you made it up to him.
00:54:54Hating slavery as you do, if you do.
00:54:57Because I've never seen it?
00:54:59Can't you hate an idea? I hated it.
00:55:01And loved Crane for hating it, too?
00:55:02Wanted to.
00:55:05You're forgetting I was born in New Orleans,
00:55:07where we see things differently.
00:55:09Black men are born to be slaves.
00:55:13You can't believe that.
00:55:14Because all men are born equal?
00:55:15They should be.
00:55:18You wanted to know how I turned gunfighter.
00:55:22My father educated me beyond what the New Orleans would call
00:55:27my station in life.
00:55:30I don't understand.
00:55:31You don't?
00:55:33My mother asked my father to improve my position.
00:55:36He refused.
00:55:38She kept asking.
00:55:41It annoyed him.
00:55:42So he sold her.
00:55:49You see, we could say that Crane lost his arm to free me.
00:55:54To free me for what?
00:55:56That is the question, Mrs. Adams.
00:56:01You lost your voice?
00:56:06Don't look like that.
00:56:08It's not what you just told me.
00:56:12It's what it's made of.
00:56:13No.
00:56:14It was a white choice for the son of a quadroon slave.
00:56:17Piano player in a fancy house,
00:56:19backroom gladiator for white gentlemen batters.
00:56:23But your name, that beautiful French name.
00:56:26Oh, yes.
00:56:27My father's name.
00:56:29I'm covering it with glory.
00:56:31You pity him?
00:56:34I pity his son.
00:56:38Save your pity for Matt Weaver.
00:56:39He's dying tonight.
00:56:42Please.
00:56:44Last night you let him live.
00:56:46Today you're going to kill him because of something I've said or done?
00:56:50There's something I want from you.
00:56:51It's not pity.
00:56:54Leave your husband in this hellhole of a town with me.
00:57:01Think about it.
00:57:16Will you kill Matt Weaver, senor?
00:57:20Senor, I'm not here to talk.
00:57:25I'm here on very important business.
00:57:29Do not kill Matt Weaver.
00:57:34I've been paid to kill him.
00:57:37I swore to kill him.
00:57:40And I want to kill him.
00:57:44Why do you drink in the morning?
00:57:52Don't worry about the Rev.
00:57:55His skin is white.
00:57:58If the white town finds out, they need him.
00:58:02They'll find a way of getting to him.
00:58:04No, never.
00:58:06Soon.
00:58:08If I am wrong, if he lets himself be used,
00:58:12I'll lose your gun for you.
00:58:16Stand by, senor.
00:58:18Stand by.
00:58:20I guess you didn't hear Crane Adams.
00:58:22Jewel let Matt Weaver fly free as a bird last night.
00:58:26Shot at him and missed.
00:58:28Dying gunfighter.
00:58:30There's a dead shot. He done it on purpose. He's from New Orleans.
00:58:33Mr. Brewster, he's a Rev, just like Matt.
00:58:36You all had your say, huh?
00:58:39All right.
00:58:41You want to do whatever is right and best for us all.
00:58:44Whosoever would be chief among you, let him be your servant.
00:58:48So, let's hear the will of this meeting.
00:58:54Get rid of the gunfighter.
00:58:56Now.
00:59:04So be it.
00:59:06I'm elected to do the talking, anyway.
00:59:11And you all dare me witness I do it right.
00:59:41Oh, my God.
01:00:11Stay where you're at.
01:00:32God in heaven.
01:00:34God in heaven.
01:00:44Go in the hotel.
01:00:51Yeah.
01:00:52Go past it now.
01:00:53It'll be a little like the door.
01:01:21Like a dog in a garbage heap.
01:01:28Yes, a mad dog.
01:02:01What's he doing?
01:02:59What's he doing?
01:03:19Stop him!
01:03:48What's he doing?
01:04:15Talk or I will.
01:04:25Jewel, I'd like to have a word with you.
01:04:32Well, here I am.
01:04:35I'd like a few words in private, Jewel.
01:04:44A few words here.
01:04:46All right.
01:04:48Kneel.
01:04:52On your knees, Mr. Brewster.
01:04:56Brewster, ruler of the roost.
01:05:00Get on your knees.
01:05:16Repeat after me.
01:05:19Don't face me, face this miserable animal.
01:05:29He's doing it.
01:05:34Now, repeat after me.
01:05:38I'm a thief.
01:05:39I'm a hypocrite.
01:05:41And I beg forgiveness.
01:05:44For all the filth I've burdened you with.
01:05:47In this dirtiest of towns.
01:05:50On the dirty face of the earth.
01:05:55Say it.
01:06:25I'm a thief.
01:06:54Matt.
01:06:57Matt Weaver.
01:07:00Don't move, doc.
01:07:01I won't.
01:07:03Brewster's coming into Parley.
01:07:04We've got trouble, Matt.
01:07:14Crane's dead.
01:07:17Sheriff's dead drunk.
01:07:19Ruth.
01:07:20All right, last I saw her.
01:07:22Gunfighters gone on a rampage.
01:07:23He smashed up the whole town.
01:07:24Everybody's dead out.
01:07:26What you want?
01:07:28I'm going to give you the satisfaction of hearing that from Brewster.
01:07:31That much you got coming.
01:07:34Leave your file.
01:07:36Signed back to you by Mrs. Metric.
01:07:38She told me how Metric got himself killed.
01:07:40I'm going to give you the satisfaction of hearing that from Brewster.
01:07:42That much you got coming.
01:07:45She told me how Metric got himself killed.
01:07:47How long you known this?
01:07:49Let's just call this paper a peace treaty.
01:07:52War's over.
01:07:57What you want from me for my own fault?
01:07:59Your help.
01:08:02I don't look so sad when you make a joke.
01:08:04No joke.
01:08:05Funniest I ever heard.
01:08:06You bribed me to kill a gunfighter.
01:08:08You hired to kill me.
01:08:11I'm not even fit to kill.
01:08:13But you're right, Matt.
01:08:15You got no use for me and I got none for you.
01:08:17But fair is fair.
01:08:18I was wrong about Metric.
01:08:20I was wrong to hire the gunfighter.
01:08:22I just pray you're a better shot than him.
01:08:25You think you can pray me into being one of your fool hired hands?
01:08:29The town's full of them.
01:08:31You can do it, Matt, and you're going to do it, so let's just stop talking about it.
01:08:34I know.
01:08:37You know what?
01:08:39Ruth.
01:08:41Ruth and a gunfighter alone in the Emporium ever since Crane was killed.
01:08:45And she went back of her own free will, I saw.
01:08:49Today, Crane stopped fretting about you.
01:08:52Tried to kill a gunfighter.
01:08:53I got a notion I got me to try.
01:08:57Go on.
01:08:58Oh, Matt.
01:09:00Now, we all know Ruth's still got a soft spot in her heart for you.
01:09:04I got this notion she promised the gunfighter something.
01:09:09Let you go.
01:09:12Crane couldn't stand that.
01:09:17He said I stood between him and something he wanted.
01:09:20Well, anyway, Dave.
01:09:22Been a long day together in the Emporium this past hour.
01:09:29We brung a horse for you.
01:09:36You've changed your mind.
01:09:42It was changed for me.
01:09:45Crane's dead, I'm half dead.
01:09:47If I'm going with you, we'll save one whole life.
01:09:51Is that the whole reason?
01:09:55I wish it were.
01:10:00I wish it were.
01:10:04But the truth is...
01:10:07Part of me wants to come with you.
01:10:10And you know that.
01:10:14I warned you.
01:10:16It won't keep me alive very long.
01:10:20You said you never lie.
01:10:22So I believed everything you told me.
01:10:25You said you'd kill Matt.
01:10:27You said you aren't human.
01:10:30I told you I'd been told that.
01:10:33All my life.
01:10:36It didn't have to be true.
01:10:38Now you've believed it.
01:10:40Now it's true.
01:10:45I give you two lives for the one I took.
01:10:50Yours...
01:10:52And Matt Weaver's.
01:11:01Because what they feel for you...
01:11:06Might turn out to be the opposite of hate.
01:11:10You can't risk that.
01:11:14I'm going in.
01:11:45Hombres con pistolas.
01:11:48And Matt Weaver.
01:11:50Gracias.
01:12:00Looking for me?
01:12:02No.
01:12:05You going somewhere?
01:12:07Yes.
01:12:09Without any of your blood money?
01:12:11Oh, don't you mind me.
01:12:17The blood money.
01:12:20You might use it in my name.
01:12:22It's safe for the emancipation of the local slaves.
01:12:27Reb.
01:12:29I'm still not standing between you and something you want?
01:12:31You're standing between me and the road out of town.
01:12:34Well, if it wasn't the money, what'd you want?
01:12:36What'd you get?
01:12:41Neither profits nor pleasure.
01:12:45You can't make me draw on you.
01:12:48Stop trying, boy.
01:12:53Matt!
01:12:55Let him go.
01:12:58Why's he going?
01:13:02Why'd you give him to let me off?
01:13:07Nothing.
01:13:10Not true.
01:13:13¡Cuidado!
01:13:18Oh, God.
01:13:32Rufus.
01:13:36Throw the gun.
01:13:45Get on your knees.
01:13:53This time, say it.
01:13:56Don't face me.
01:13:58Face this meal of a Reb.
01:14:06Say after me.
01:14:10I'm a thief and a liar.
01:14:15I am a thief and a liar.
01:14:19Say, forgive me for betraying you and this town.
01:14:25This town that I now...
01:14:28bequeath to your care.
01:14:39Say it.
01:14:46I am a thief and a liar.
01:14:51Seat.
01:15:00Seat.
01:15:10We did it.
01:15:12No, you did it, Brewster.
01:15:15You turned me into one of them.
01:15:18Now finish it. Say forgive me for betraying this town.
01:15:23That's a rab talking. I warned you. I warned you.
01:15:27That's a rab taking over. Say it! Stop him! Stop him! Say it!
01:15:32We just took a vote, Sam. You heard it.
01:15:36He'll walk this town like he owns it.
01:15:48Roosevelt.
01:16:18Here is I just won the war, Red.
