00:00I've been offered a dozen good ways to get myself killed since I came to this town.
00:20Now I'm going to make a few offers myself.
00:30I'm going to make a few offers myself.
01:00It is hard to realize it, Senor Paladin.
01:05Only last week he was fitting in the same coat, and now he's dead.
01:09He was my friend for many years, Gino. I'll miss him.
01:12Of course, for Uncle Polo, the trouble is over.
01:15It is for Angela that I wear right now.
01:17Polo's little girl?
01:19Not so little, Senor. A young lady now.
01:21Why should you worry about her?
01:24We are losing the shop, Senor.
01:26You're losing this shop?
01:27Creditors. It's only a matter of time.
01:33The arms, Senor. Raise it a little, please.
01:36Gino, your uncle was a wealthy man.
01:39Si, Senor. Until he got into the mining business.
01:42When a tailor gets... gets the gold bag, he's a sick one for sure.
01:47Well, now, I remember when your uncle bought the grail.
01:50He paid $40,000 for it. That's a lot of money, but...
01:53Nothing compared to what he put into it.
01:56Always, Senor, he was putting good money after bad.
01:59Until the time of his death, a pauper.
02:02Move. Move.
02:04I'm expecting no one today.
02:05Gino!
02:08Gino!
02:09Well, Angela, what are you doing here?
02:12Gino!
02:13From out of the blue, an offer for the mine.
02:16I got it this morning.
02:18From whom?
02:18Papa's foreman.
02:19He's interested some men in buying it.
02:21He says he thinks he can sell it for as much as $20,000.
02:25$20,000!
02:26Mamma mia!
02:27Salvation!
02:28The deed must be here with Papa's business papers.
02:34From the locked drawer of the desk, I'm...
02:36Oh, Senor Paladin, scusate.
02:38This is my cousin, Senorina Angela DeMarco.
02:40Mr. Marco, it's an honor.
02:41Your father was a friend.
02:44Oh, he spoke of you so often, Mr. Paladin.
02:48You were his favorite client.
02:51The one whose taste was beyond reproach.
02:53I know you'll forgive this intrusion, but you're selling the mine?
02:57Of course.
02:59Well, don't sell it too quickly, Mr. Marco.
03:01Your father had faith in it.
03:04So much so.
03:05It killed him.
03:07But if you sell it without at least first investigating,
03:09your father's death would have gone for nothing.
03:13What is there to investigate?
03:15Well, the circumstances of his death, for one thing.
03:17What was he doing down in that mine?
03:20Are you suggesting he was murdered?
03:24No.
03:24I don't know enough to suggest that.
03:26But I will say that the $20,000 offer makes me want to know more.
03:31Mr. Marco, give me one week.
03:34One week to investigate the operation of the grail
03:36and the circumstances of your father's death.
03:38If in that time I've uncovered nothing,
03:41then go ahead.
03:41Sell the mine.
03:42Sell the mine.
03:42Just how would you conduct your investigation, Mr. Paladin?
03:52If you are right,
03:55fancy clothes and pretty words won't stop accident.
03:58it's a mystery serial killer.
04:00Oh, thank you, Glendale.
04:05Thank you, Glen.
04:13There he is.
04:41That's far enough, mister.
04:43You say so.
04:45I ain't seen you around here before.
04:47I ain't been around here before.
04:48Are you looking for trouble?
04:51No.
04:53Right now, I'm looking for a match.
04:57Are you looking for a cigar?
04:58Yeah, I don't mind.
05:03It's a nice looking gun you've got there.
05:05That's the job.
05:13Of course, I could have drawn on you when you were lighting a cigar.
05:19You must be a stranger.
05:21No one around here draws on the jockey.
05:24I could light another match, if you would like to try it.
05:29No, thanks.
05:30I've got other business today.
05:32Just what do you want, mister?
05:33Work.
05:34I'll try the Blue Eagle about a mile back down the road.
05:37I hear they're putting on men.
05:38What's wrong with a grail as long as I'm here?
05:40That makes you a newcomer.
05:43Well, there's a line a mile long waiting to get on to the grail.
05:46Signed up all the way back to last April.
05:48Oh.
05:50Well, thanks.
05:51Sure.
06:06What do you want?
06:07What do they all want?
06:10Jack, you open by the livery's table.
06:22Tom in front of the blacksmith's shop.
06:24Head around by the store and Pete, you better go with him.
06:26And remember, whatever you do, don't let him draw.
06:29I beg your pardon.
06:29Did I interrupt something?
06:38That's a good way to get yourself killed, mister.
06:41You know, I've been offered a dozen good ways to get myself killed since I came to this town.
06:44What are you doing here?
06:48I'm looking for a man named Casey Bryan.
06:49He's the foreman of the grail.
06:51You a grail man?
06:53Well, if I were, I'd probably know where to find Bryan, wouldn't I?
06:58Try all the saloons.
06:59He's got money enough for drinking.
07:01Ain't nothing but grail men at the bars anymore.
07:04The grail seems to be a hard place to get a job.
07:05You try again tomorrow.
07:08There's going to be a vacancy.
07:11Oh, I see.
07:13Well, thank you very much, gentlemen.
07:20All right, get in position.
07:21But don't shoot till I get to work.
07:35I come for Hannah, Jockey.
07:39I got first claim.
07:41I just bought off all claims, Morgan.
07:44Show him, baby.
07:48You grail muckers think you can buy anything.
07:51A girl like Hannah likes the finer things in life.
07:54You can't handle that on four bucks a day, Morgan.
07:56Used to be enough.
07:58It isn't now.
07:59Why don't you blue eagle gophers get smart?
08:01The only thing you're ever going to rate is our leftovers.
08:04I'm taking Hannah home.
08:06You're going to stop me?
08:08That's just what we had in mind.
08:16Jockey?
08:18How are things tonight?
08:20Looks like the beginning of a busy evening.
08:23You can't bother this, mister.
08:24This is a personal fight with the grail.
08:25Matter of fact,
08:27too bad you had such a long waiting line this morning.
08:31You don't want a job with the grail that bad, friend.
08:34You've got one.
08:36Starting now.
08:40You can have it any way you want it, gentlemen.
08:42I'm just going to tell you.
08:42More than one day.
08:43Thanks Lord.
09:15I saw you out of the corner of my eye.
09:26That was a good draw.
09:27Thanks.
09:29I figure I shaded you just a mite, though.
09:31Well, as long as we weren't facing each other, it doesn't matter.
09:34You're all right, mister.
09:36Anything you want, anything that jockey can ever do for you, you just name it.
09:40Well, I already have.
09:42What time do I report to work in the morning?
09:45Be there at stake.
09:47Sure.
09:49Go on, Hannah.
10:15Go on, Hannah.
10:17Go on, Hannah.
10:17Go on, Hannah.
10:18Go on, Hannah.
10:19Go on, Hannah.
10:20Go on, Hannah.
10:21Go on, Hannah.
10:22Go on, Hannah.
10:23Go on, Hannah.
10:24Go on, Hannah.
10:25Go on, Hannah.
10:26Go on, Hannah.
10:27Go on, Hannah.
10:28Go on, Hannah.
10:29Go on, Hannah.
10:30Go on, Hannah.
10:31Go on, Hannah.
10:32Go on, Hannah.
10:33Go on, Hannah.
10:34Go on, Hannah.
10:35Go on, Hannah.
10:36Go on, Hannah.
10:37Go on, Hannah.
10:38Go on, Hannah.
10:39Go on, Hannah.
10:40Go on, Hannah.
10:41Let's go.
11:11Let's go.
11:15Hold it.
11:18Want to cave in?
11:20Hey, you take it over here, mister.
11:24There's a pole here in the back.
11:27Looks like it's weak.
11:30Here, get some timber.
11:32Hold that powder till I say.
11:35I can't recall seeing you around here before, where you were.
11:38Here? There?
11:39I know about here, but where's there?
11:41Orofino, Bingham Canyon, Big Bonanza.
11:44You move around.
11:46I'll just follow the gold.
11:48I'm glad you saw this. You seem to know your stuff.
11:51It's the only way to stay alive.
11:54I understand your boss didn't.
11:56You understand what?
11:58I understand your boss didn't know his stuff.
12:01He got careless around the dynamite.
12:03It was just an unfortunate accident.
12:05It could happen to anybody.
12:09I got to get out.
12:11How old are you?
12:13What do you think?
12:14I'm not sure.
12:16God damn it did.
12:17I'll keep him.
12:19I love you.
12:21I just need to get out.
12:23I just need to grab it.
12:25I don't forget.
12:27You don't know what to do here, but you don't know what to do.
12:58Quitting time, everybody out.
13:15Quitting time, everybody out.
13:19Quitting time, everybody out.
13:28Come on, get a move on.
13:44Get moving.
13:46You got any gold on you?
13:49Any gold?
13:50How about you, any gold?
13:52You got any gold on you?
13:53Small filling in the back motor.
13:58Get moving.
14:00What do you want, a bath?
14:02Get moving.
14:04You got any gold on you, Reed?
14:06Any gold on you?
14:08Well, that's some inspection.
14:10Well, we have to take precautions.
14:13Never can tell when some Thiebin mucker might try a little high grade.
14:16I did not expect to find you at the Grail, working as a miner.
14:31Well, I didn't expect to find you at all.
14:33You almost gave me away this morning.
14:34Why did you come?
14:36Because I've had another offer from the syndicate, represented by Casey.
14:41Casey?
14:42Mr. Bryan, partner's foreman.
14:44He wired just as soon as you left San Francisco.
14:47Offering to increase the price just as soon as you said you'd like to wait a while.
14:52Well, yes.
14:54How did you know?
14:54Because I've seen muckers getting rich on a mine that drove the owner into bankruptcy.
14:58You're being high graded.
14:59High graded?
15:00That's a polite word for stealing.
15:02The miners take the rich ore, almost pure gold, for themselves.
15:05The low-grade ore they call company ore.
15:07That they load into the cars.
15:09That's impossible.
15:11Casey, Mr. Bryan.
15:14He personally conducts an inspection of the men every day.
15:17I've seen the inspection.
15:19What are you implying?
15:20I'm not implying anything.
15:24I'm stating flatly, Mr. Bryan is not to be trusted.
15:29I trust him.
15:30You don't know him.
15:32Mr. Paladin, I know him better than I know you.
15:36Mr. Marco, you don't know that man as well as you think you do.
15:42Unless you can give me definite proof.
15:45I cannot believe your wild accusations.
15:48So, if you excuse me, I have an engagement.
15:51All right, Mr. Marco.
15:56But we agreed I'd be here for a week.
15:58That means I still have a few days to work.
16:02And in the meantime, will you keep this in mind?
16:06If your father did suspect something,
16:09Mr. Bryan may very well be the man responsible for his death.
16:11Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
16:32Not now.
16:34You've got a job to do.
16:35What's the trouble?
16:37Your friend Paladin didn't pay his employment fee.
16:39Is that all?
16:40Eh, probably just slipped his mind.
16:42I don't figure it that way.
16:43I saw him going to the hotel and checked on him.
16:46He went to Angela DiMarco's room.
16:48A company spy.
16:50You know what to do.
16:50Get some of the boys out of the saloon.
16:52I will.
16:53But just for an audience.
16:55I ain't gonna need any help.
17:08Hold it, Paladin.
17:15Well, Jockey, what's on your mind?
17:17A little matter at $25.
17:19What for?
17:20Employment fee.
17:21$25.
17:22A day.
17:23Hand it over.
17:25Well, I thought I'd pay that to Bryan myself.
17:27Give it to me.
17:28I do his collecting.
17:42That's fine.
17:43Now you can die with a clean slate.
17:46What's the occasion?
17:47A little party.
17:49The kind we give company spies.
17:50You're a brave man, Jockey.
17:54With that mob behind you.
17:56There's ain't no mob.
17:57They're witnesses.
17:58Witnesses to what?
18:00To the fact that you drew on me and I killed you in self-defense.
18:03You sure this is what you want?
18:09I saw you draw once, Paladin.
18:12I figure I shaded you.
18:15You ready?
18:17Anytime you say.
18:18Fast.
18:18But not accurate.
18:19Anybody figure he can do better?
18:32I see you tomorrow at the grail.
18:47Well, when your father told me what he paid for the mine, I advised him to get out as best he could.
19:06I wish he'd taken your advice.
19:09He'd still be alive today.
19:10That's very true.
19:13But if the mine is a bad investment, why do these men wish to buy it?
19:18Well, the grail could be made to show a profit if a great deal of money were invested in new equipment and if it had professional management.
19:26With all due respect, Miss Angeli, your father was an amateur in this business.
19:31I understand.
19:33Really, I hardly know what to do.
19:36Well, because of you, I feel a deep responsibility, so I've got the investors to agree to a price of $30,000.
19:44$30,000?
19:46But only if you'll agree at once so they can begin the new improvement.
19:51$30,000, eh, Mark?
19:53Don't bother to rise.
19:55$30,000 is just about covering two months' profits.
19:57$15,000 a month, that's about what you're taking out of the grail, isn't it?
20:01Mr. Paladin, what are you doing?
20:03What are you doing?
20:04Well, I came to tell this man he needs a new collector.
20:07I don't know what you're talking about.
20:09Of course you do.
20:10You need somebody to collect the $25 a day you charge the miners for the privilege of stealing all they can carry.
20:16There are a lot of men working in the grail, Mr. Marco.
20:18You figure it out.
20:19It won't take him long to get $30,000.
20:22Well, this man is insane.
20:25Not at all.
20:27Mr. Marco, there's no group of investors.
20:30Brian is planning to buy the mine for himself with money he's already stolen from you.
20:35Miss Angela, there's one way we can disprove all this nonsense.
20:38How is that?
20:40I can show you the actual working shaft in the grail.
20:43You can see for yourself there are no easy riches there.
20:47Well, that is reasonable.
20:49What do you say, Mr. Paladin?
20:51I don't like it.
20:53Why not?
20:53It seems to be the perfect chance to disprove or prove your accusations.
20:59I think Mr. Brian shows his innocence by inviting me to see the mine.
21:03You show your innocence by even considering it.
21:07I don't know what you mean.
21:09Your father got the same invitation.
21:13Mr. Brian, I accept your offer.
21:16Thank you for your confidence, Miss Angela.
21:20Well, that leaves me only one alternative.
21:23You'll be short $25 tomorrow.
21:26Mr. Marco, I quit.
21:28I don't know what you mean.
21:58Well, this is the principal ore vein.
22:02It runs diagonally downwards through this rock strata here.
22:06Oh, it does look as though the vein is quite rich.
22:08All that yellow is showing through.
22:10That's worthless.
22:11The miners call it fool's gold.
22:13Oh, I didn't know.
22:16Of course not.
22:16Neither did your father.
22:18Did he see this part of the mine?
22:21Yes.
22:21As a matter of fact, it was very near here.
22:23He had this unfortunate accident.
22:25Excuse me a minute.
22:28What's that for?
22:36What's that for?
22:40Hey!
22:41Come on.
23:11Run! There's dynamite back there! Run! Run! Don't stand there! There's dynamite back there!
23:19It's gonna blow! He lit the fuse! There's dynamite back there! Run! Get out of here!
23:25Run! Run! Run! Run!
23:37What was that?
23:41It looks like your friend Mr. Bryan had an unfortunate accident.
23:45But the lapels, Signor DiMarco, they're too wide.
23:55Never! You must have the Parisian slight wing with a taper.
24:03Signor Paladin! Excuse me, Signor.
24:05Signor Paladin!
24:07I have your suits ready. I will get them.
24:20Governor, it's an honor to see you again, sir.
24:22It's my pleasure, Mr. Paladin.
24:23This is Governor Irwin. Mr. Marco.
24:25Mr. Marco.
24:26Gino. The break in His Excellency's trousers above the shoes.
24:31And the line here.
24:33And the Parisian lapels are much too extreme for His Excellency.
24:36Straight London for him.
24:37But, Signor Paladin...
24:40You're right, of course. I will take care of it immediately.
24:43Paladin, I wish I had you around to handle the legislature for me.
24:46My congratulations, Mr. Marco. I read it in the financial pages of your good luck in the mining business.
24:52Did you know that Mr. Marco was a mine owner, Mr. Paladin?
24:57Without the help of Mr. Paladin, I'd have had nothing. And his fee!
25:03Exorbitant?
25:05Hardly. All he would take is two suits a year for life.
25:10It'll add up. I expect to live a long time.
25:16A while.
25:17The Cardinal測vie
25:39A while.
