00:00You hired me to keep that mob from lynching, Andy.
00:17Now you tell me to hand him over.
00:19Just which side of that badge are you going to stand behind, Sheriff?
00:30THE END
01:00Well, hey, boy, my compliments to management.
01:14This is an excellent share.
01:15I'm glad you like it.
01:18Some more.
01:24Volunteers to be paid out of the Sheriff's own pocket,
01:27but thus far no takers.
01:30I know.
01:30I know you go away.
02:00You don't have a man.
02:01I know you don't have a job.
02:02I know you don't have a job.
02:04business in town mister yes ma'am with the sheriff answering his call for men
02:33about the Jim Briggs murder?
02:35That's right.
02:36I'll bring the cellar roll in later.
02:38We don't need outside help.
02:43Well, that's for the sheriff to say, is it, ma'am?
02:45I got more say than any sheriff.
02:48Jim Briggs was my son.
02:52I'm sorry, Mrs. Briggs.
02:54Not Mrs. Briggs.
02:56Widow Briggs.
02:58No husband, no son.
03:01Just Widow Briggs.
03:03Just eat them.
03:12Paladin.
03:14Harry, you and Boat go back to the ranch.
03:17Get Tom here.
03:18Oh, no son.
03:19There you are.
03:20There you are.
03:20There you are.
03:51Sheriff Grayson, my name is Paladin.
03:58Come in, Paladin.
04:08Is that bad?
04:09Not yet.
04:10But it can be.
04:15Glad to see you, Paladin.
04:17I guess I don't have to tell you that.
04:20Any other volunteers?
04:21No, it'll be just the two of us.
04:24Have they started anything yet?
04:26Just talk.
04:28Well, sometimes if they talk enough, they talk themselves out of it.
04:32Andy, the prisoner, you'll get a fair trial when the judge gets down here from Placer on Wednesday.
04:37All we have to do is keep them from triggering anything.
04:43Excuse me, Papa.
04:45Oh, that's all right, honey.
04:46My daughter, Julia, and Mr. Paladin.
04:48Mr. Grayson, how do you do?
04:50How do you do?
04:52I was hoping to bring some cookies in to Andy, Papa.
04:55Oh, certainly, honey.
04:57Why don't you come with us?
04:58I'll show you the prisoner.
04:59There he is.
05:16Hello, Andy.
05:18Hello, Julia.
05:20I brought you some cookies.
05:21Sit down.
05:28I just think to myself.
05:33I heard an owl last night.
05:36They keep you awake?
05:38Wait?
05:38No, no, I pretended it was you.
05:42You were calling me that it was time for us to go and pick up to the old barn.
05:49Go.
05:51Try a cookie.
05:52Here.
06:04How long has he been like that?
06:06Hanson, sir, is six years old.
06:10Follows Julia around like a puppy dog.
06:13Julia's always the one who put him into a hospital where he could be looked after.
06:17No kinfolk.
06:18Sheriff, you can't hold a man like that responsible for his act.
06:24Well, all I know is that they found him at the old Smith barn, sitting near the body.
06:31Jim was stabbed right here.
06:34A sharp stake or a spike or something like that.
06:39They say that a person like Andy probably didn't even realize that he'd done it.
06:46Just sat by the body.
06:50Well, judging isn't my job.
06:52Holding the mob back is.
06:53Well, it'll be a lot easier if we could establish some reasonable doubt about his guilt.
06:57Is there anything in the barn?
06:58A lot of men have gone over that barn.
07:06No murder weapon.
07:08Nothing.
07:09No murder weapon?
07:12Nothing.
07:14Well, I'd like to have a look for him, eh?
07:17Yes, you are.
07:18To?
07:37That's him.
07:42You think he knows what he's about?
07:44With a gun, he does.
07:48That'd be a man to cut a notch on.
07:51No need to be ashamed of that notch.
07:55Big man.
07:58Makes a big target easier to hit.
08:01That man's got to be beat.
08:06I can beat him.
08:09This ain't the time to think that way.
08:12You gotta even things for Jim.
08:13He's gonna try to stop us.
08:18The three of you do it.
08:20I don't need them.
08:23Tom, we've got to be sure.
08:25I don't need...

11:29Then we're taking matters into our own hands.
11:31The men are coming back with me at 3 o'clock.
11:33We want Andy then.
11:37Well, you'll have me to reckon with.
11:39You...
11:41and him...
11:43and Julia.
11:45It ain't an easy thing to lose your own flesh and blood, Neil.
11:49I know that.
11:51So?
11:53You can't have Andy.
11:553 o'clock...
11:573 o'clock.
12:08Tom?
12:093 o'clock?
12:20Papa.
12:21Will they really come?
12:23Yeah.
12:25Well, come, all right.
12:27She won't rest until she sees Andy swinging from a tree.
12:30We've got about two hours.
12:33Never be able to hold him off.
12:37This crime doesn't make any sense.
12:39A man, even a man like Andy, wouldn't kill someone...
12:42hide the murder weapon...
12:44and then not try to hide the body or at least try to get away.
12:48You can't prove that.
12:50Nobody knows how Andy's mind would work.
12:53Grayson, if he hadn't known what he was doing...
12:57he wouldn't have tried to hide the murder weapon.
13:00Of course.
13:01He's right, Papa.
13:03They won't listen to words.
13:05That's right.
13:06It's gotta be something I can see.
13:08I'm going back to that barn.
13:09It's the one slim chance we've got.
13:10All right.
13:11I'd like to come, too.
13:12No.
13:13I don't want you in the streets.
13:14Sandy's my friend.
13:15I want to help.
13:16Maybe I could answer some questions.
13:17Show you things.
13:18It might help.
13:19Julia, I don't want you to get involved.
13:20Perhaps she could help.
13:21Please, Papa.
13:22All right.
13:23One thirty.
13:24Won't be long now.
13:25One thirty.
13:51It won't be long now.
13:52woman jealous woman might have killed her you have many lady friends yes many two none of them

18:26Let's get this party over with.
18:54Bring him out.
18:56Bring him out.
18:58Come on.
19:24You stupid blundering.
19:33Andy is...
19:35What's he got to live for?
19:37Andy didn't kill Briggs.
19:40You've got to protect my daughter.
19:42Now you stand back.
19:45Grayson, with an accident, nobody will blame Julia.
19:47Nothing will happen to her.
19:49Papa!
19:54Get out of here.
19:57Get out of here.
20:02Get out of here!
20:04Keep it going.
20:05Now, get all right.
20:07Keep it going.
20:09Keep it going.
20:11Everything is all right.
20:14No!
20:15No, no!
20:19Julia.
20:23Tom?
20:53Judy and Andy about ready to leave?
21:16Almost.
21:18So many years.
21:20Thinking of myself as a man of principle.
21:23Upholding the law.
21:26And to find myself acting like a criminal.
21:29Or a human being.
21:31Well, at any rate, I'm going to give up this badge.
21:33That would accomplish nothing.
21:37At least to give me more time with Julia.
21:40A fine parent I am.
21:43She couldn't trust me.
21:45To come and tell me what she'd done.
21:47Is that what's bothering you?
21:50Well, maybe it is better, you know the truth.
21:53You go inside and watch.
21:55No matter what I do, you just stand there and watch.
21:58Come on.
21:59You know we're going away, don't you, Andy?
22:01You'll like it there.
22:03There'll be lots of nice people.
22:05Things to do.
22:07Friends.
22:08Are you ready to leave?
22:10Yeah, all ready.
22:12Come on, Andy.
22:13Never mind about Andy.
22:14You just come on with me.
22:14Come on.
22:15Come on.
22:16What did he do it?
22:19Stop.
22:20Stop.
22:21Andy.
22:22No, Andy.
22:23No, no, Andy.
22:24He was doing it.
22:25He was hurting me.
22:26No, Andy.
22:27Let's go.
22:28My friend.
22:29Andy.
22:30Let's go, Andy.
22:32You'll kill me.
22:33It's all right.
22:34Now, Andy.
22:35It's all right.
22:37Is it that, Andy?
22:39You knew.
22:40I knew.
22:42Let me take Andy outside.
22:43That's it.
22:45Say, you get the boy.
22:55Andy did kill him.
22:56He did.
22:58I hadn't realized until just now how strong Andy is.
23:02How did you know?
23:03Well, two things.
23:05First, it didn't make any sense for Julia not to confess that killing if it was an accident
23:10caused by Briggs forcing his attention on her.
23:13And?
23:15And Briggs was slammed into a hook higher than my shoulder.
23:19Julia couldn't do that.
23:20Think a man of strength, real strength, enough to lift a man as you just saw.
23:25But why?
23:26I suppose Andy came on them struggling and moved in to protect Julia.
23:30Don't question your daughter about it.
23:32She wants it this way.
23:33We shouldn't let Andy go free.
23:39Free?
23:41Hardly.
23:43Well, I think that hospital will take a lot better care of Andy than any jail or lynch mob could.
23:51And, Sheriff, I think you ought to wear that badge.
23:57You've done a good job for this town.
24:00Good job for your daughter, too.
24:02Good job for your daughter.
24:35A gun with a gun...
25:05We'll travel, read the card of a man, a knight without armor in a savage land, his vast
25:17gun for hire heats the calling wind, a soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin, Paladin,
25:34where do you roam?
