00:00Ambition in a man without morality is a dangerous thing.
00:19You had to own something important, even if you had to murder to get it.
00:30Or instead of a young man with a man.
00:35I think you should have a good one.
00:37This is the only thing you can't dare project.
00:41It is.
00:42It is.
00:43It is.
00:46It is.
00:48The only arose in the school is had to be filled with the people who are like,
00:53I had to work for these people.
00:57This is a woman who was talking to me and I have to work for them.
00:59in ancient days the barbers were also surgeons this is the 19th century and if I want any
01:15bloodlet I'll get a doctor to do it thank you
01:18the next time you draw on me Grady it won't be your gun arm I go after
01:29it next time I draw on you mr. Morgan I'll kill you
01:53I'll go home and wash your face
01:59the

02:07the
02:14I'm
02:19the
02:21what
02:25what
02:27Come on.
02:37Some day that boy may very well try to kill you.
02:40Mad boy?
02:42They can outdraw him, out-shoot him, or spank him.
02:45He wouldn't even be close.
02:47A cigar?
02:50You may have made a strategic error in anatomy that could cost you.
02:53You should have hit him on the chin, not on the seat of the pants.
02:57What difference does it make?
02:59A good spanking is what he deserved.
03:04You show the degree of your respect for an opponent by where you hit him.
03:08On the chin, he's a man, an opponent worthy of consideration.
03:12Across the bottom, he's a boy, a nuisance.
03:15You showed that boy in front of people he lives with just how much you respect him.
03:20And that's why he may very well try to kill you.
03:24Just who are you, mister?
03:26My name is Paladin.
03:28I just stopped off in town for a shave.
03:30You?
03:32I'm Gene Morgan.
03:34Mr. Morgan, may I buy you lunch?
03:36I have a business proposition that may interest you.
03:39What kind of business?
03:41Well, it loses so much in the explanations.
03:53What kind of business?
03:54What kind of business?
03:58If I'd wanted the kid killed, I could have done it myself.
04:00But you don't want him killed, do you?
04:02No.
04:04I don't.
04:06I think I'll take that lunch, Mr. Paladin.
04:11Mr. Morgan, I'll get my things from the barber shop and join you.
04:14I suppose you're pretty good with that gun.
04:24I'm considered fairly proficient.
04:27I'm considered fairly proficient with the gun myself, Mr. Paladin.
04:31What makes you think I can't handle Grady without your help?
04:34Well, you said just a few moments ago you don't want him killed.
04:37That gives him an advantage you'd never overcome.
04:39Why should I want him killed?
04:41I raised him and his sister.
04:43I've been their only family since their father died.
04:45That's why.
04:47In a gunfight with Grady, you'd draw slow, you'd shoot wide,
04:51until someday he wouldn't.
04:54It's only the last few months he's been like this.
04:57Well, it's only the last few months he's realized what it means to be a man.
05:01How'd the trouble start this morning?
05:05Grady's father left him some property bordering mine along the river.
05:09Last year the river changed course, nobody knew who owned what.
05:12So we agreed to wait and let the court decide it.
05:16Today Grady told me he'd changed his mind.
05:18He doesn't want to wait.
05:20When did he draw on you?
05:23After I told him to be a man and stick to our agreement,
05:27instead of carrying on like a sick calf.
05:29Well, Mr. Morgan, you're not easy on that boy.
05:32Talk like that was bound to make him mad.
05:35Mad enough to draw on me?
05:37Are you prepared to pay $500 for Grady's life and $500 for yours?
05:40That's $1,000 in all if you both come out of this alive.
05:44That's quite a chunk of money.
05:46Are your lives worth any less?
05:51Do you think you could find out why he's become so almighty contentious lately?
05:55I think that's where my job begins.
05:58Mr. Paladin, you started working for me a half hour ago.
06:01Thank you, sir.
06:15Hello, Frank.
06:17Still giving yourself away, Grady.
06:19But you see, you're turning your shoulder when you start your drawing.
06:22Waste time, tips off your move.
06:24Make your right arm do all the moves.
06:26Right arm.
06:37That's better.
06:39But you're firing too soon.
06:40You would hit him in the legs.
06:45Frank, I don't know if I'll ever be, but I'll draw him.
06:47Sure you will.
06:49It's no hurry.
06:50We don't want any repeat of what happened today.
06:53Well, here.
06:54Sheila gave you this for your arm.
06:56She's fixing some lunch.
06:58Is she mad?
07:00Nah.
07:01I kitted her out of it.
07:02I told her I'd talk you into calming down, so...
07:05You better make out like I did.
07:07You know how women are.
07:08Yeah, I know.
07:10You know, Frank.
07:12You're the only one that treats me like I got any sense.
07:15That's cause I know you got sense.
07:18I'm just so sorry about the way Morgan made you the laughing stock of the town today.
07:23I'll get even with him for that.
07:25That won't be easy to do.
07:28Unless you could get the last laugh on him.
07:31Maybe if...
07:33Maybe what, Frank?
07:34I was just thinking.
07:41You didn't know.
07:42After all...
07:43...
07:45It had me.
07:46I was just thinking before I didn't die in bed.
07:48I won't have enough money in bed...
07:50I thought I'd be ready for the all day.
07:51You haven't paid my money in bed!
07:53I requested you.
07:57It has all right.
07:59Yes.
08:00This had all taken me and it was on to go to bed.
08:03Okay.
08:04Good work.
08:06I thought I was going to hang it on.
08:08I felt that way, Hidden приехative Pete.
08:09Good man!
08:10I started wahrscheinlich.
08:11If you want to shave, you'll have to wait your turn.
08:16You're not Mr. Morgan.
08:17That's exactly right.
08:19But I saw his horse outside.
08:20Well, he loaned it to me because I work for him,
08:22and part of my job is to keep you from annoying him.
08:25Annoying?
08:26That's right, annoying.
08:27The rest of my job is to keep him from killing you.
08:30And that's the part of the job I like least well right now.
08:34Well, if you're Morgan's man, there's something you can give him for me.
08:41What's your turn? All right.
08:46What's your turn? Quick.
08:51What's your turn? All right.
08:53Good, sir.
08:56Now then, Mr. Stewart, how would you like your sideburns?
08:59Long? Short?
09:01How would you like them?
09:03I don't shave much yet.
09:05Well, perhaps that's a fact that you ought to bear in mind.
09:07Now, whose idea was it for you to come here?
09:13Oh, thanks.
09:16Franks.
09:18I'll tell him it was a bad idea.
09:24Bye.

10:05Bye.
10:06Bye.
10:07It must be getting through somewhere.
10:13Fred, go check on the Posada Road section.
10:17Ben, ride west and see if any of that old wire by the rocks gave way.
10:24How many had you figure you lost?
10:27No, so far it looks like about 20.
10:30They broke through the fence during the night, got out on the bottom land.
10:34Is that the land Grady Stewart is so excited about?
10:37Yeah.
10:39Mr. Morgan, has it occurred to you that you might hold on to a couple of people you are very fond of
10:43if you didn't make such a big issue out of a few handfuls of dirt?
10:47Often.
10:51I suppose I could let Grady have those few acres, but...
10:55there's 25 years of my life in this land.
10:59I don't want to be stubborn and difficult, but I can't change that easy.
11:03I can't give up something that I've worked for so long, so hard.
11:07Does Grady know that?
11:09He must know it.
11:11Well, maybe he's not the only one that knows it.
11:20I found where they've been breaking through, but the wire didn't just give way.
11:23Somebody cut it.
11:24A hole big enough to run the whole herd through.
11:36Company's coming.
11:38No.
11:39You gotta kill me, Mr. Morgan.
11:40Your cattle can give me a baby, but mine can't.
11:42Is that right, Mr. Morgan?
11:43You say to wait for the law to decide who it belongs to.
11:46But when Jean Morgan decides his stock needs feeding…
11:51That's a different story.
11:53Just a minute, Grady.
11:54decides his stock needs feeding that's a different story just a minute Grady no
11:59just give me my milk and send me off to bed and you'll have everything your own
12:03way Grady I don't know how my cattle got out there I'll send a couple of men to
12:10bring them back that satisfy you
12:24you think I should let him do it Frank let him take his cattle back you have to
12:30do you think he's telling the truth why would he run his cattle out there and
12:36then back down when I call him on it because he's smart I don't understand
12:42just wait a couple days the same thing will happen again he'll be polite as pie
12:47beg your pardon take his cattle home pretty funny way to fatten cattle it's
12:52easy way to establish claim to the bottom land the court will think it's
12:56his cause his cattle are all over him Preston fire right a lot of legal talk
13:00he's in you're out he wouldn't do that all right he wouldn't do that don't get
13:07mad Frank I'm not mad it's your business jump when he pulls a string come on Grady
13:12gotta move on my men have work to do jump kid don't take his advice Grady we can
13:19work this out ourselves and I don't need your advice mr. Morgan if I find any of
13:28these cattle on this property after tomorrow morning I'll kill them all myself
13:35I assume I'm up against Grady and I met briefly this morning apparently you
13:48didn't talk much sense into him our discussion was brief but to the point I'll
13:54follow up on it to us may we live happily ever after hmm we will if we can just keep
14:11Grady out of trouble till he grows up you would have been proud of him today Morgan
14:18was really in the wrong and Grady kept his head I bet you had something to do with that
14:23Mr. Stewart my name is Paladin I'd like to talk to you if I may this is a sort of a private party
14:39my question was addressed to you miss Stewart it concerns your brother you might as well sit
14:45down I think I should tell you Sheila that he's a hired gunfighter for Morgan is that true
14:52partly but I'm still concerned about your brother the way a hunter is concerned about a deer I'm
14:59concerned about you too mr. Gault what about my brother mr. Paladin well to put it briefly your
15:09brother's in much more danger for mr. Gault here than he is from me my job is to keep Grady alive
15:14Gault's is to get him killed that's a lie I don't even want to listen to another word that's all right
15:19honey let him speak his piece I'm sure you love this man but you're marrying him partly because you
15:28need somebody to help you take care of the ranch and take care of Grady now just consider if Gault
15:34marries you and gets Grady killed he owns the ranch how would I get him killed hire you no you'd force
15:45him into a feud with a man that could outgun him he almost succeeded this morning if Gene Morgan
15:50wasn't fond of Grady and you this would have happened before Morgan won't stand for much more believe me
15:56he won't now I know this is hard for you to accept but Gault is trying to force Grady into a pair of
16:03boots that are much too large for him and Grady is so anxious to become a man that he may not live
16:08to see the day why would Frank do a thing like this ambition his ambition to own something important
16:17even if he has to commit murder for it I think you've said enough mr. Paladin you better leave all right
16:26well I say we postpone the wedding for as long as you like until all the trouble with Morgan is over and
16:46until you realize that I want you not your ranch no that would be the same as saying I believed all
16:57those lies no we'll have our wedding as we planned
17:01oh
17:12oh
17:14oh
17:18Let's go.
17:48I was in town that Sheila got married this morning.
18:06Now I was a friend of mine, and I'll tell you what,
18:13I can tell you how to hold the hand.
18:16Yeah, I was afraid she would.
18:18Common sense is never any match for Cupid.
18:46Grady said he'd do this.
18:50I guess he meant it.
18:52Now I'm going to show him.
18:54Well, Mr. Morgan, you better stop and consider.
18:56I told you once Grady had beat you in a showdown gun battle.
18:59Now think about it.
19:01Is your hand going to be fast, accurate,
19:03when you go to kill a boy?
19:16Come on.
19:46What are you doing here, Mr. Morgan?
19:53You want him to be the big man.
19:56Now let's see if you can live up to it.
19:58Stop it!
19:59Please, Mr. Morgan, stop it!
20:01I'm sorry, Sheila, but I warned Grady.
20:03He's determined to force this fight,
20:05so it might just as well be now.
20:07Frank, you've got to do something.
20:08You've got to make me stop it.
20:10There's nothing I can do, honey.
20:11It's Grady's fight.
20:12He'll have to fight it.
20:15Mr. Morgan, he's just a boy.
20:18You can see that for yourself.
20:20Is it just a boy who killed my steer?
20:22A boy would have more sense.
20:25I didn't do that.
20:27Don't lie to me, Grady.
20:30I told you that if I find any more steers in that property,
20:33I was going to kill them all.
20:45Thanks for stopping it, Paladin.
20:50Sheila and I are real grateful.
20:52Thanks for stopping it, Paladin.
20:54Sheila and I are real grateful.
20:56Well, no favor to you, Mr. Galt.
20:58It was purely a matter of economics.
21:00A pair of wire cutters in your back pocket?
21:04I don't know any wire cutters.
21:08Oh.
21:10Well, that's fine.
21:12I don't know any wire cutters.
21:14Well, that's fine.
21:16I don't know any wire cutters.
21:18Oh.
21:20Well, that's my mistake.
21:22I'm sorry.
21:24Mr. Galt? Stuart?
21:26I'm sorry.
21:48Come on.
21:52Come on.
21:56Come on.
22:22What did he mean about the wire cutters?
22:24Nothing. It's just his idea of a joke, I guess.
22:28Then why'd you reach for him, Frank?
22:32You said you didn't own a pair, but you do.
22:34I've seen them.
22:36I lost them months ago.
22:38What are you trying to do, kid?
22:40Make me out a liar?
22:42What is this? What's going on?
22:44Just wondering who's cut that fence, that's all.
22:46Just wondering.
22:48You really are just a kid, aren't you?
22:50I heard your horse last night.
22:52I got dressed and followed you down to the bottom land.
22:54Just wanted to go along to keep you out of trouble.
22:56Deny that.
22:58Frank, how can you say that?
23:00That's a deny it.
23:02You cut the fence and you kill Morgan Steer.
23:04I wasn't going to tell Sheila because it was such a stupid kid's trick.
23:08But you're not going to put the blame on me.
23:10Not on me, kid.
23:12I was in the house all night last night.
23:14Oh, that's true, Frank.
23:16He wasn't out of the house last night.
23:18Frank, he wasn't!
23:20You're a dirty, filthy liar, Frank.
23:22A dirty, filthy liar.
23:24You're going to go for that gun, kid.
23:26You've been anxious to use it.
23:28How's your chance?
23:30Frank.
23:32Oh!
23:33Oh!
23:34Oh!
23:35Oh!
23:36Oh!
23:37Oh!
23:38Oh!
23:39Oh!
23:40Oh!
23:41Oh!
23:42Oh!
23:43Oh!
23:44Oh!
23:45Oh!
23:46Oh!
23:47Oh!
23:48Oh!
23:49Oh!
23:50Oh!
23:51Oh!
23:52Oh!
23:53Oh!
23:54Oh!
24:01This had to be done.
24:03Sooner or later, somebody would have had to do it.
24:11Come along, Sheila.
24:14Grady, go get her things.
24:17Come along home with me.
24:19I'll send some men to take care of Frank.
24:21Yes, Mr. Moore.
24:22Well, I thank you very much, Mr. Morgan.
24:23Well, you should thank Mr. Stewart, too.
24:24He insisted on paying part of your fee.
24:25Well, I certainly do thank you very much indeed, sir.
24:28Since I originally stopped in this town for a shave, I think I might find time for another
24:29one before I left.
24:30You have an excellent barber.
24:31Would you care to join me?
24:32Would you care to join me?
24:33Well, I feel a little bit stubbly myself.
24:34Well, I feel a little bit stubbly myself.
24:35I think I might find time for another one before I left.
24:39You have an excellent barber.
24:40Would you care to join me?
24:41I feel a little bit stubbly myself.
24:42I think I will.
24:43How about you, Mr. Stewart?
24:44Yeah, I think I will.
24:45How about you, Mr. Stewart?
24:46Yeah, I think I will.
24:47How about you, Mr. Stewart?
24:50Yeah, I think I will.
