Have Gun - Will Travel (1957–1963): Season 1, Episode 35 - The Return of Dr. Thackeray - full transcript
Paladin again assists his friend Phyllis Thackeray, M.D., when impatience and panic threaten to generate a smallpox epidemic.
I WANT TO SEE PHYLLIS THACKERAY.
AND I WANT TO SEE HER NOW.
IF SHE'S BEEN HARMED IN ANY WAY,
YOU TWO MEN CAN TOSS COINS
TO SEE WHO I GUN DOWN FIRST.
I'LL GIVE YOU $1,000 NOW,
AND YOU'LL PROMISE
TO ACCEPT THIS JOB.
$1,000 LATER WHEN
YOU COMPLETE IT.
I SPEND $2,000 A YEAR
ON CIGARS, MR. LAIRD.
$3,000. THAT'S
THE BEST I CAN DO.
YOU PROPOSE TO
SHIP HALF A MILLION
IN GOLD BULLION FROM
YOUR BANK IN PHOENIX.
WHY DON'T YOU GET IN TOUCH
WITH AN EXPRESS COMPANY?
FOUR.
YOU SAID YOURSELF
IT WAS A SIMPLE JOB.
AND I'LL DISCUSS
DOING IT FOR $10,000.
THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.
GOOD NIGHT, MR. LAIRD.
I'LL HAVE TO CONSULT
WITH MY PARTNERS.
I'LL STOP BY TO SEE
YOU TOMORROW.
THAT'S FINE IF
I'M STILL IN TOWN.
YOU'RE NOT NEGOTIATING
WITH OTHER PARTIES, ARE YOU?
WHO KNOWS? I COULD
BE BY TOMORROW.
[PANTING]
IT'S NATE, PA. I KNOW WHO IT IS.
LET'S GET HIM IN THE HOUSE,
THEN SEND CHARLIE FOR
THAT WOMAN DOCTOR.
TOO BAD DOC TANEY AIN'T
BACK FROM LARAMIE YET.
NEAR AS I CAN TELL, HE'S
HAD THIS FEVER FOR A WEEK.
I GUESS WHEN HE GOT SO SICK
HE COULDN'T POUR THE SOUP,
FRED SENT HIM HOME.
NATE WAS OUT IN THE ROUND-UP,
COOKING FOR THE HANDS.
A COOK.
HE COULD HAVE
INFECTED ALL YOUR MEN.
INFECTED?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THIS MAN HAS SMALLPOX.
SMALLPOX! GET HIM OFF THE RANCH.
GET A BUCKBOARD
AND GET HIM TO TOWN.
YOU CAN'T TAKE
HIM ANYWHERE ELSE.
HE'LL INFECT OTHERS.
THAT'S NO CONCERN OF
MINE. GET HIM OFF THIS RANCH!
MR. BARTON, THAT MAN
HAS TO STAY RIGHT HERE.
LADY, DON'T YOU GIVE ME
ORDERS. CARRY HIM OUT!
HE MUST STAY HERE.
LOOK, THERE'S A SUPPLY
OF VACCINE AT FORT LANDIS.
IF WE SEND A
TELEGRAPH RIGHT AWAY,
THAT VACCINE COULD
BE HERE WITHIN FIVE DAYS.
DON'T JUST STAND
THERE! DO AS I SAY.
THIS IS SOMETHING THE DOCTOR
KNOWS MORE ABOUT THAN US.
TOM, I SAID CARRY HIM OUT.
LEAVE HIM ALONE! I MEAN IT.
YOU'RE THE WRONG SEX
TO BE HANDLING A GUN.
YOU TOUCH HIM AND YOU'LL
GET SMALLPOX FOR SURE.
YOU WON'T NEED THAT WITH ME.
I COULDN'T HAVE PULLED
THE TRIGGER ANYWAY.
YEAH, PA HAD YOU
SIZED UP THAT WAY.
LOOK, SOMEBODY HAS TO SEND
THE TELEGRAM FOR THE VACCINE.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO THAT.
ONLY THAT'S JUST
PART OF THE TROUBLE.
THE ROUND-UP'S ABOUT OVER.
THE MEN'LL BE BACK SOON.
THAT'S GOOD. WE CAN KEEP THEM
HERE UNTIL THE VACCINE ARRIVES.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THEY BEEN WORKING SIX
MONTHS WITHOUT A BREAK.
THEY'LL WANT TO GET
TO STOCKTON SO BAD,
NOTHING'S GOING TO HOLD
THEM. THEY GET SIX MONTH'S PAY.
THEY'LL STAY WHEN THEY
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE SMALLPOX.
THEY'LL RUN LIKE RABBITS.
BUT THEY HAVE TO STAY
UNTIL THEY'RE VACCINATED.
AT THE POINT OF A
GUN, IF NECESSARY.
I'M NOT VERY GOOD WITH A GUN.
I KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS.
THERE'S HIS CARD.
MR. PALADIN, CARLTON
HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO.
NEED YOU URGENTLY.
BARTON RANCH, THREE
RIVERS, CALIFORNIA.
PHYLLIS THACKERAY.
GOOD MORNING,
MR. PALADIN. HELLO, MR. LAIRD.
I'M PREPARED TO MEET
YOUR TERMS IN FULL NOW.
$10,000, YOU SAID.
I'M SORRY, I'VE HAD
A BETTER OFFER.
BETTER OFFER? HOW MUCH?
MR. LAIRD, THIS OFFER HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY.
GOODBYE, SIR.
MY NAME IS PALADIN.
WHERE'S DOCTOR THACKERAY?
MY SON TOLD ME HE
SENT YOU A TELEGRAM.
THAT WAS A MISTAKE. GO
BACK TO SAN FRANCISCO.
NOW WHO ARE YOU?
THIS IS MR. BARTON, MY FATHER.
HE OWNS THIS RANCH.
I'M TOM BARTON.
I'M LOOKING FOR
DR. THACKERAY. WHERE IS SHE?
I WANT YOU OFF MY PLACE. WHERE?
TALK TO ME, MISTER. I'M
THE MAN AROUND HERE.
I WANT TO SEE DR. THACKERAY
AND I WANT TO SEE HER RIGHT NOW.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG,
IF SHE'S BEEN HARMED
OR IMPEDED IN ANY WAY,
YOU TWO MEN CAN TOSS COINS
TO SEE WHO I TAKE APART FIRST.
NOW YOU WAIT A MINUTE...
THAT'S HOW LONG I'LL WAIT, ONE
MINUTE FOR YOU TO SHOW ME THAT GIRL.
YOU WALK INTO MY
HOUSE AND THREATEN ME?
THERE'S NO NEED TO MAKE A FUSS.
HE JUST WANTS TO SEE THE DOCTOR.
THAT'S YOUR WAY, ISN'T IT?
BACK AWAY FROM ANYTHING
TOUGHER THAN A STEAK.
FALL DOWN AND PLAY DEAD
WHEN THE MAN TELLS YOU TO.
THAT'S NOT TRUE, PA.
I JUST DON'T BELIEVE
IN FIGHTING WHEN THERE'S
NO FIGHT CALLED FOR.
[BARTON:] OR ANY OTHER
TIME! THIS MAN'S TRESPASSING.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO SOMETHING
USEFUL FOR A CHANGE,
THROW HIM OFF THIS RANCH.
THAT'S YOUR MINUTE,
MISTER. I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU
TO PROVE THINGS TO YOUR
FATHER'S SATISFACTION.
WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?
WHERE?!
AHHH, COME IN.
YOU BETTER BOLT THE DOOR.
HE'S VERY SICK.
AND IT'S CONTAGIOUS.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES, I WAS VACCINATED
TWO YEARS AGO BACK EAST.
WHAT'S HE GOT?
SMALLPOX.
I KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE SAID
SOMETHING IN MY TELEGRAM.
AFRAID I WOULDN'T COME RUNNING?
WOULD YOU HAVE?
IF I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
IMPORTANT TO DO.
BESIDES, I'VE BEEN VACCINATED.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
JUST HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN HERE ALONE?
SINCE LAST NIGHT.
MY PATIENT HAS A LOT OF FRIENDS.
I'VE HAD A HARD TIME
KEEPING THEM AWAY.
YOU TAKE HALF A SPOON
OF SUGAR, DON'T YOU?
YOU REMEMBERED. MANY THINGS.
YOUR PATIENT'S FRIENDS
DON'T KNOW HE HAS SMALLPOX.
THANK YOU. NO.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP IT A SECRET
'TIL THE VACCINE GETS HERE.
WHEN WILL THAT BE?
ABOUT THREE MORE DAYS.
THEY'RE SENDING SOME
OVER FROM FORT LANDIS.
AND THAT'S NOT WHY
YOU SENT FOR ME.
NO.
I SENT FOR YOU BECAUSE
FRED COOLEY, THE RANGE BOSS
IS SOMETHING OF A GUNMAN.
HE'LL BE BACK
TOMORROW WITH THE MEN.
THEY'VE GOT TO BE KEPT
HERE. THEY WON'T WANT TO STAY.
AND YOU WANT ME
TO KEEP THEM HERE?
YOU HAVE TO.
[YAWNING]
WHAT'D YOU PUT IN THIS?
SUGAR OR SLEEPING POWDER?
YOU STAY THERE.
NO, I CAN'T. HE'S
NEARING THE CRISIS.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
BE MUCH HELP TO HIM
IF YOU'RE ASLEEP ON YOUR FEET.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL LIE DOWN FOR
20 MINUTES THEN.
THANK YOU.
GIVE HIM WATER
IF HE ASKS FOR IT.
YOU BETTER WAKE ME IF
HE GETS MORE FEVERISH.
I'LL WAKE YOU.
AND BY THE WAY, HELLO.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. I TOLD
YOU I'VE BEEN VACCINATED.
HAVE YOU? WHAT?
BEEN VACCINATED.
UM HMMM.
WHEN?
WHEN?
WHAT? WERE YOU VACCINATED.
RIGHT AFTER THE WAR. OH.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT THEN.
WAIT A MINUTE, MAYBE IT ISN'T.
THAT WAS YEARS AGO.
[MAN MOANING]
[DISTANT HOOFBEATS]
[YELLING AND GUNSHOTS]
YOU'RE BACK EARLY, FRED.
BOYS ARE IN A HURRY
TO GET TO STOCKTON.
WE FIGURE TO START THE
HERD THAT WAY COME MORNING.
YEAH, COME EARLY
MORNING. YEE-HOO!
GET DOWN TO THE BUNKHOUSE
WITH THE OTHER BOYS.
YOU'RE MAKING SO MUCH NOISE
A MAN CAN'T HEAR HIMSELF TALK.
YOU BETTER COME
IN THE HOUSE, FRED.
WE GOTTA HAVE A LITTLE TALK
BEFORE YOU GO ANYWHERE.
SURE THING, SOON AS I
GET THINGS PUT RIGHT.
WHY DON'T YOU GET OUR
PAY READY, MEANWHILE?
[WHOOPING AND GUNSHOTS]
HOW IS HE? HE'S MORE FEVERISH.
YES, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
IS THIS THE CRISIS?
THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
LOOK, YOU BETTER
WARN THE BARTONS.
IF HE DIES, THERE'LL BE NO
WAY OF CONCEALING THE CAUSE.
EVERYBODY ON THIS RANCH'LL
STAMPEDE IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP THEM?
[DISTANT YELLING]
NATE'S AT THE CRISIS.
COULD GO EITHER WAY.
COOLEY AND THE MEN ARE BACK.
I HEARD THEM.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO HANDLE THOSE MEN.
I DON'T WANT TO HANDLE
THEM. THEY WORK FOR YOU.
WHICH OF YOU IS GOING TO
ORDER THEM TO STAY HERE?
I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS FUSS.
THEY'RE FREE TO GO AS
FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
TOM?
WASTE OF BREATH
TALKING TO FRED COOLEY.
HE'LL DO WHAT HE
WANTS. NO, HE WON'T.
HE'LL DO WHAT HE'S MADE TO DO.
WELL, CAN'T YOU...
HANDLE IT FOR
YOU? SURE, I COULD.
BE NOISY. GUNS ARE NOISY.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU
MIGHT TRY TO TALK FIRST?
FRED WON'T LISTEN TO ME.
I DON'T WANT THIS CREW SHOT UP.
TOM, YOU BROUGHT HIM
IN AGAINST MY ORDERS.
YOU TRIED TO HANDLE
THIS YOUR WAY.
ALL RIGHT. I WANT
TO SEE YOU FINISH IT.
SOMEDAY THIS'LL BE YOUR
SON'S RANCH, WON'T IT?
HE OUGHTA BE RUNNING IT NOW.
TOM, SOONER OR LATER,
WHOEVER IS FOREMAN OF THIS RANCH
IS GONNA BE TAKING
ORDERS FROM YOU.
NOBODY'S GONNA STAND
NEXT TO YOU ALL YOUR LIFE,
WITH A GUN TO MAKE
YOUR ORDERS STICK.
YEAH. I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
TOM...
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO KEEP THESE MEN HERE
WITHOUT TELLING THEM IT'S
BECAUSE NATE HAS SMALLPOX.
[MEN YELLING OUTSIDE]
TOM'S BEEN GONE LONG ENOUGH.
COULD BE HE SWUNG
FRED COOLEY INTO LINE,
AND HE AND FRED ARE BRINGING
THE REST OF THE MEN AROUND.
YEAH.
THAT COULD BE
WHAT'S TAKING THE TIME.
IF HE WASN'T SUCH A WEAKLING.
IS HE SUCH A WEAKLING?
YOU'VE SEEN HIM. HE'LL
TAKE IT FROM ANYBODY.
HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT
WAY AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
HE GETS IT FROM HIS
MOTHER, REST HER SOUL.
NO, I'D SAY HE GETS IT FROM YOU.
YOU'RE A LOUDMOUTH BULLY.
YES, YOU ARE. IT'S ALL TALK.
VICIOUS, CUTTING KIND OF TALK
THAT PROBABLY
HELD THAT BOY DOWN.
GAVE HIM THE IDEA HE NEVER
COULD WIN, SO HE NEVER TRIED.
ALL I EVER TRIED TO DO
WAS MAKE A MAN OUT OF HIM.
NO, YOU'RE SCARED TO DEATH
HE MIGHT REALLY BECOME A MAN.
THEN YOU'D BECOME THE
LITTLE MAN AROUND HERE.
THAT'S ENOUGH!
I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO
YOU HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY SON.
OH, AM I MISTAKEN?
WOULD YOU REALLY LIKE THAT
BOY TO KICK YOUR TEETH IN?
I'D CRACK HIS SKULL IF HE DID.
BUT I'D LOVE HIM IF HE TRIED.
[VOICES OUTSIDE]
FOR ALL OUR SAKES, I
HOPE YOU GET YOUR WISH.
STILL THINK WE OUGHT
TO MAKE HIM APOLOGIZE.
I KNOW WHAT THE FELLAS
ARE AFTER AND I'M GONNA
GET IT FOR THEM
LIKE I ALWAYS DO.
WAIT A MINUTE!
YOU'RE GONNA APOLOGIZE FIRST.
STEVE, YOU JUST SIMMER DOWN.
MR. BARTON...
STEVE POLLEY HERE THINKS
TOM WAS SERIOUS ABOUT US
NOT TAKING THE CATTLE OUT
TO STOCKTON THIS MORNING.
I SAID OLD TOM WAS
JUST FUNNIN' WITH US.
WHICH ONE OF US IS
RIGHT, MR. BARTON?
ME OR STEVE?
I'D RATHER YOU DIDN'T
LEAVE THIS MORNING.
WHEN, THEN?
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
I BELIEVE YOU JUST GOT IT
TURNED AROUND THE OTHER WAY.
WE'RE LETTING YOU KNOW.
WE'RE MOVING OUT THIS MORNING,
WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR BEEF.
THAT THE WAY YOU MEN
WANT IT? THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S GONNA BE THEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON AROUND HERE,
BUT IT'S SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE.
YOU'RE BREAKING A
PROMISE TO YOUR MEN NOW.
THERE'S A STRONGBOX IN
YOUR STUDY, MR. BARTON.
OPEN IT UP AND
GET OUR MONEY OUT.
WE'RE GONNA RIDE AT SUN-UP.
YOU'RE TALKING TO
ME NOW. NOT MY SON.
I KNOW WHO I'M
TALKING TO, ALL RIGHT.
I'M TELLING YOU, THERE'S
SOMETHING FUNNY GOING ON.
AND WITH ALL RESPECT,
EITHER YOU OPEN THAT SAFE...
OR WE'RE GONNA BREAK IT OPEN.
NO, YOU DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE.
ARE YOU...
YOU WORK HERE,
MISTER... PALADIN.
I'M JUST HELPING A FRIEND.
GOT A SPECIALTY?
I USE A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.
BUT IN THE END IT
COMES DOWN TO THAT.
IF THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES.
ALL RIGHT.
SUN-UP'S IN AN HOUR.
IT'S GONNA TAKE ME ABOUT
AN HOUR TO GET MY GEAR
GATHERED TOGETHER AND
GET BACK HERE TO GET MY PAY.
I'M RIDING OUT.
DON'T TRY TO STOP ME.
YOUR CHOICE. I'D PREFER
TO AVOID VIOLENCE.
[LAUGHING] HEAR THAT, FRED?
HE PREFERS TO AVOID VIOLENCE.
A PROFESSIONAL GUNFIGHTER
FROM THE LOOK OF HIM,
AND HE PREFERS
TO AVOID VIOLENCE.
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU.
STEVE, CUT IT OUT.
I WON'T CUT IT OUT.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, PALADIN?
I DON'T FIGURE TO
WAIT UNTIL SUN-UP.
NOW!
I'LL BE BACK.
ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO FOR HIM?
STILL TOO FAST.
IT'S A LITTLE STEADIER THOUGH.
THE FEVER'S NO BETTER THOUGH.
MORE QUININE?
NO, NOT FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
IS THERE ANYTHING
MORE I CAN DO FOR YOU?
YES.
TALK TO ME. KEEP ME AWAKE.
TALK TO YOU? JUST LIKE THAT?
IT'S NOT THAT EASY.
YOU'VE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE
FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS.
IT'S EASY ENOUGH TO TALK.
TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS,
THE COMMON WORDS,
THAT MEN EXCHANGE WITH WOMEN.
BUT YOU AND I HAVE
GROWN TOO CLOSE FOR THAT.
THAT'S A FRIGHTENING
THOUGHT. IT IS.
BECAUSE WE'RE THE
KIND OF PEOPLE WE ARE.
WE'RE NEITHER ONE OF US
READY FOR MARRIAGE, ARE WE?
WELL, YOU'RE CERTAINLY
KEEPING ME AWAKE.
YOU HAVE TO GO
ON WITH YOUR WORK.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU AND IT'S
IMPORTANT TO THOSE WHO NEED YOU.
AND YOU HAVE TO GO ON
WITH YOUR WORK BECAUSE...
YOU'RE THE KIND
OF A MAN YOU ARE.
I DID HEAR A RUMOR ONCE
THAT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
YES, IF THEY'RE READY TO CHANGE.
AND WE'RE NOT READY TO CHANGE.
I'M CONFUSED.
HAVE YOU BEEN PROPOSING TO ME?
NO.
NO, I'VE BEEN EXPLAINING
WHY I HAVEN'T PROPOSED.
THAT'S VERY FLATTERING.
I'M SURE THERE AREN'T MANY
WOMEN TO WHOM YOU'D FEEL
IT WAS NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN
WHY YOU WEREN'T PROPOSING.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.
[MAN MOANING]
OH, BE QUIET OR I'LL
WRING YOUR NECK.
THAT WON'T STOP
THE SUN FROM RISING.
I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT
AT SUNRISE.
[NATE:] DOCTOR?
I THINK HE'S BETTER.
I THINK HE'S GOING TO LIVE.
PERHAPS THAT'S A GOOD OMEN.
PHYLLIS...
WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
WE BOTH WANT IT THIS WAY.
HAVE ANY COLD WATER AROUND HERE?
ROOM DOWN THE
HALL. THERE'S A BASIN.
THANK YOU.
MAYBE FRED WON'T SHOW UP.
YOU KNOW HIM BETTER THAN THAT.
HE'S GOT SIX MONTH'S
WAGES OWED HIM.
HE'S NOT GOING TO
RIDE OFF WITHOUT IT.
WE'RE A FINE PAIR.
LETTING AN OUTSIDER DO OUR JOB.
[DOOR OPENING]
IT'S TIME.
WHERE'S YOUR
GUNMAN? HE'LL BE HERE.
AS LONG AS WE GOTTA WAIT,
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
OPEN THAT SAFE.
WE'RE GONNA WANT OUR PAY.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO
TALK TO ME LIKE THAT.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF HIM.
[LAUGHING]
COME ON, LET'S GO.
YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE.
THE DOOR SHOULD BE BOLTED.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THEY KEPT LOCKED UP.
I HEARD THERE WAS A
WOMAN DOCTOR AROUND HERE.
YOU STARTED IT ALL?
PLEASE GET OUT OF HERE!
EVER SINCE YOU COME,
NOBODY LEAVES THE SPREAD.
NOW WHY? BECAUSE IT'S NECESSARY.
SOMETHING TO DO WITH NATE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?
HE'S BEEN VERY ILL.
HOW YOU FEELIN', NATE?
BOYS OUT HERE... [MOANING]
NATE!
YES, IT'S SMALLPOX. SMALLPOX?
LISTEN, THERE'S A
VACCINE ON THE WAY.
IT'S A KIND OF MEDICINE. I'M
GOING TO VACCINATE ALL OF YOU.
ARE YOU LOCO? IT'S THE
ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOU.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME.
[SLAP] [SCREAMING]
[DOCTOR CRYING]
WHO DID THIS TO HER?
WHO?!
FRED DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT HE WAS DOING.
HE WAS OUT OF
HIS MIND WITH FEAR.
[DOCTOR:] PALADIN!
PALADIN, THAT'S ENOUGH!
DON'T KILL HIM! IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NO MORE, PALADIN.
NOT THIS WAY.
PLEASE!
I'LL PUT A BULLET
IN YOU IF I HAVE TO.
I WON'T STAND BY.
THIS IS MY RANCH.
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR FRED, FOR
YOU AND FOR EVERYONE HERE.
[SHOUTING:] CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?
PALADIN, I'M ALL RIGHT.
HE DIDN'T HURT ME.
LOOK, I'M PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT!
[TOM:] YOU'LL LEAVE
FRED TO ME NOW?
HMMM?
I SAID, YOU WON'T
TOUCH FRED AGAIN?
I'LL HANDLE HIM.
THAT'S RIGHT. YOU RUN
THIS PLACE, DON'T YOU?
COME ON, FRED.
I GOT THE HANDS
LINED UP OUTSIDE.
THEY DON'T KNOW
QUITE WHAT TO EXPECT,
BUT TOM'S HOLDING THEM. GOOD.
BETTER BRING THEM IN ONE BY ONE.
ALL RIGHT, TOM. START 'EM IN.
YOU FIRST, FRED.
I'M LEAVING.
OH NO, YOU'RE NOT.
WHAT ARE YOU WHELPS AFRAID OF?
WOULD YOU STEP
OVER HERE, MR. BARTON?
WHAT'S THE MATTER, MR. BARTON?

PAY READY, MEANWHILE?
[WHOOPING AND GUNSHOTS]
HOW IS HE? HE'S MORE FEVERISH.
YES, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
IS THIS THE CRISIS?
THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
LOOK, YOU BETTER
WARN THE BARTONS.
IF HE DIES, THERE'LL BE NO
WAY OF CONCEALING THE CAUSE.
EVERYBODY ON THIS RANCH'LL
STAMPEDE IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP THEM?
[DISTANT YELLING]
NATE'S AT THE CRISIS.
COULD GO EITHER WAY.
COOLEY AND THE MEN ARE BACK.
I HEARD THEM.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO HANDLE THOSE MEN.
I DON'T WANT TO HANDLE
THEM. THEY WORK FOR YOU.
WHICH OF YOU IS GOING TO
ORDER THEM TO STAY HERE?
I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS FUSS.
THEY'RE FREE TO GO AS
FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
TOM?
WASTE OF BREATH
TALKING TO FRED COOLEY.
HE'LL DO WHAT HE
WANTS. NO, HE WON'T.
HE'LL DO WHAT HE'S MADE TO DO.
WELL, CAN'T YOU...
HANDLE IT FOR
YOU? SURE, I COULD.
BE NOISY. GUNS ARE NOISY.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU
MIGHT TRY TO TALK FIRST?
FRED WON'T LISTEN TO ME.
I DON'T WANT THIS CREW SHOT UP.
TOM, YOU BROUGHT HIM
IN AGAINST MY ORDERS.
YOU TRIED TO HANDLE
THIS YOUR WAY.
ALL RIGHT. I WANT
TO SEE YOU FINISH IT.
SOMEDAY THIS'LL BE YOUR
SON'S RANCH, WON'T IT?
HE OUGHTA BE RUNNING IT NOW.
TOM, SOONER OR LATER,
WHOEVER IS FOREMAN OF THIS RANCH
IS GONNA BE TAKING
ORDERS FROM YOU.
NOBODY'S GONNA STAND
NEXT TO YOU ALL YOUR LIFE,
WITH A GUN TO MAKE
YOUR ORDERS STICK.
YEAH. I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
TOM...
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO KEEP THESE MEN HERE
WITHOUT TELLING THEM IT'S
BECAUSE NATE HAS SMALLPOX.
[MEN YELLING OUTSIDE]
TOM'S BEEN GONE LONG ENOUGH.
COULD BE HE SWUNG
FRED COOLEY INTO LINE,
AND HE AND FRED ARE BRINGING
THE REST OF THE MEN AROUND.
YEAH.
THAT COULD BE
WHAT'S TAKING THE TIME.
IF HE WASN'T SUCH A WEAKLING.
IS HE SUCH A WEAKLING?
YOU'VE SEEN HIM. HE'LL
TAKE IT FROM ANYBODY.
HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT
WAY AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
HE GETS IT FROM HIS
MOTHER, REST HER SOUL.
NO, I'D SAY HE GETS IT FROM YOU.
YOU'RE A LOUDMOUTH BULLY.
YES, YOU ARE. IT'S ALL TALK.
VICIOUS, CUTTING KIND OF TALK
THAT PROBABLY
HELD THAT BOY DOWN.
GAVE HIM THE IDEA HE NEVER
COULD WIN, SO HE NEVER TRIED.
ALL I EVER TRIED TO DO
WAS MAKE A MAN OUT OF HIM.
NO, YOU'RE SCARED TO DEATH
HE MIGHT REALLY BECOME A MAN.
THEN YOU'D BECOME THE
LITTLE MAN AROUND HERE.
THAT'S ENOUGH!
I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO
YOU HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY SON.
OH, AM I MISTAKEN?
WOULD YOU REALLY LIKE THAT
BOY TO KICK YOUR TEETH IN?
I'D CRACK HIS SKULL IF HE DID.
BUT I'D LOVE HIM IF HE TRIED.
[VOICES OUTSIDE]
FOR ALL OUR SAKES, I
HOPE YOU GET YOUR WISH.
STILL THINK WE OUGHT
TO MAKE HIM APOLOGIZE.
I KNOW WHAT THE FELLAS
ARE AFTER AND I'M GONNA
GET IT FOR THEM
LIKE I ALWAYS DO.
WAIT A MINUTE!
YOU'RE GONNA APOLOGIZE FIRST.
STEVE, YOU JUST SIMMER DOWN.
MR. BARTON...
STEVE POLLEY HERE THINKS
TOM WAS SERIOUS ABOUT US
NOT TAKING THE CATTLE OUT
TO STOCKTON THIS MORNING.
I SAID OLD TOM WAS
JUST FUNNIN' WITH US.
WHICH ONE OF US IS
RIGHT, MR. BARTON?
ME OR STEVE?
I'D RATHER YOU DIDN'T
LEAVE THIS MORNING.
WHEN, THEN?
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
I BELIEVE YOU JUST GOT IT
TURNED AROUND THE OTHER WAY.
WE'RE LETTING YOU KNOW.
WE'RE MOVING OUT THIS MORNING,
WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR BEEF.
THAT THE WAY YOU MEN
WANT IT? THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S GONNA BE THEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON AROUND HERE,
BUT IT'S SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE.
YOU'RE BREAKING A
PROMISE TO YOUR MEN NOW.
THERE'S A STRONGBOX IN
YOUR STUDY, MR. BARTON.
OPEN IT UP AND
GET OUR MONEY OUT.
WE'RE GONNA RIDE AT SUN-UP.
YOU'RE TALKING TO
ME NOW. NOT MY SON.
I KNOW WHO I'M
TALKING TO, ALL RIGHT.
I'M TELLING YOU, THERE'S
SOMETHING FUNNY GOING ON.
AND WITH ALL RESPECT,
EITHER YOU OPEN THAT SAFE...
OR WE'RE GONNA BREAK IT OPEN.
NO, YOU DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE.
ARE YOU...
YOU WORK HERE,
MISTER... PALADIN.
I'M JUST HELPING A FRIEND.
GOT A SPECIALTY?
I USE A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.
BUT IN THE END IT
COMES DOWN TO THAT.
IF THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES.
ALL RIGHT.
SUN-UP'S IN AN HOUR.
IT'S GONNA TAKE ME ABOUT
AN HOUR TO GET MY GEAR
GATHERED TOGETHER AND
GET BACK HERE TO GET MY PAY.
I'M RIDING OUT.
DON'T TRY TO STOP ME.
YOUR CHOICE. I'D PREFER
TO AVOID VIOLENCE.
[LAUGHING] HEAR THAT, FRED?
HE PREFERS TO AVOID VIOLENCE.
A PROFESSIONAL GUNFIGHTER
FROM THE LOOK OF HIM,
AND HE PREFERS
TO AVOID VIOLENCE.
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU.
STEVE, CUT IT OUT.
I WON'T CUT IT OUT.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, PALADIN?
I DON'T FIGURE TO
WAIT UNTIL SUN-UP.
NOW!
I'LL BE BACK.
ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO FOR HIM?
STILL TOO FAST.
IT'S A LITTLE STEADIER THOUGH.
THE FEVER'S NO BETTER THOUGH.
MORE QUININE?
NO, NOT FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
IS THERE ANYTHING
MORE I CAN DO FOR YOU?
YES.
TALK TO ME. KEEP ME AWAKE.
TALK TO YOU? JUST LIKE THAT?
IT'S NOT THAT EASY.
YOU'VE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE
FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS.
IT'S EASY ENOUGH TO TALK.
TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS,
THE COMMON WORDS,
THAT MEN EXCHANGE WITH WOMEN.
BUT YOU AND I HAVE
GROWN TOO CLOSE FOR THAT.
THAT'S A FRIGHTENING
THOUGHT. IT IS.
BECAUSE WE'RE THE
KIND OF PEOPLE WE ARE.
WE'RE NEITHER ONE OF US
READY FOR MARRIAGE, ARE WE?
WELL, YOU'RE CERTAINLY
KEEPING ME AWAKE.
YOU HAVE TO GO
ON WITH YOUR WORK.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU AND IT'S
IMPORTANT TO THOSE WHO NEED YOU.
AND YOU HAVE TO GO ON
WITH YOUR WORK BECAUSE...
YOU'RE THE KIND
OF A MAN YOU ARE.
I DID HEAR A RUMOR ONCE
THAT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
YES, IF THEY'RE READY TO CHANGE.
AND WE'RE NOT READY TO CHANGE.
I'M CONFUSED.
HAVE YOU BEEN PROPOSING TO ME?
NO.
NO, I'VE BEEN EXPLAINING
WHY I HAVEN'T PROPOSED.
THAT'S VERY FLATTERING.
I'M SURE THERE AREN'T MANY
WOMEN TO WHOM YOU'D FEEL
IT WAS NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN
WHY YOU WEREN'T PROPOSING.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.
[MAN MOANING]
OH, BE QUIET OR I'LL
WRING YOUR NECK.
THAT WON'T STOP
THE SUN FROM RISING.
I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT
AT SUNRISE.
[NATE:] DOCTOR?
I THINK HE'S BETTER.
I THINK HE'S GOING TO LIVE.
PERHAPS THAT'S A GOOD OMEN.
PHYLLIS...
WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
WE BOTH WANT IT THIS WAY.
HAVE ANY COLD WATER AROUND HERE?
ROOM DOWN THE
HALL. THERE'S A BASIN.
THANK YOU.
MAYBE FRED WON'T SHOW UP.
YOU KNOW HIM BETTER THAN THAT.
HE'S GOT SIX MONTH'S
WAGES OWED HIM.
HE'S NOT GOING TO
RIDE OFF WITHOUT IT.
WE'RE A FINE PAIR.
LETTING AN OUTSIDER DO OUR JOB.
[DOOR OPENING]
IT'S TIME.
WHERE'S YOUR
GUNMAN? HE'LL BE HERE.
AS LONG AS WE GOTTA WAIT,
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
OPEN THAT SAFE.
WE'RE GONNA WANT OUR PAY.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO
TALK TO ME LIKE THAT.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF HIM.
[LAUGHING]
COME ON, LET'S GO.
YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE.
THE DOOR SHOULD BE BOLTED.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THEY KEPT LOCKED UP.
I HEARD THERE WAS A
WOMAN DOCTOR AROUND HERE.
YOU STARTED IT ALL?
PLEASE GET OUT OF HERE!
EVER SINCE YOU COME,
NOBODY LEAVES THE SPREAD.
NOW WHY? BECAUSE IT'S NECESSARY.
SOMETHING TO DO WITH NATE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?
HE'S BEEN VERY ILL.
HOW YOU FEELIN', NATE?
BOYS OUT HERE... [MOANING]
NATE!
YES, IT'S SMALLPOX. SMALLPOX?
LISTEN, THERE'S A
VACCINE ON THE WAY.
IT'S A KIND OF MEDICINE. I'M
GOING TO VACCINATE ALL OF YOU.
ARE YOU LOCO? IT'S THE
ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOU.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME.
[SLAP] [SCREAMING]
[DOCTOR CRYING]
WHO DID THIS TO HER?
WHO?!
FRED DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT HE WAS DOING.
HE WAS OUT OF
HIS MIND WITH FEAR.
[DOCTOR:] PALADIN!
PALADIN, THAT'S ENOUGH!
DON'T KILL HIM! IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NO MORE, PALADIN.
NOT THIS WAY.
PLEASE!
I'LL PUT A BULLET
IN YOU IF I HAVE TO.
I WON'T STAND BY.
THIS IS MY RANCH.
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR FRED, FOR
YOU AND FOR EVERYONE HERE.
[SHOUTING:] CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?
PALADIN, I'M ALL RIGHT.
HE DIDN'T HURT ME.
LOOK, I'M PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT!
[TOM:] YOU'LL LEAVE
FRED TO ME NOW?
HMMM?
I SAID, YOU WON'T
TOUCH FRED AGAIN?
I'LL HANDLE HIM.
THAT'S RIGHT. YOU RUN
THIS PLACE, DON'T YOU?
COME ON, FRED.
I GOT THE HANDS
LINED UP OUTSIDE.
THEY DON'T KNOW
QUITE WHAT TO EXPECT,
BUT TOM'S HOLDING THEM. GOOD.
BETTER BRING THEM IN ONE BY ONE.
ALL RIGHT, TOM. START 'EM IN.
YOU FIRST, FRED.
I'M LEAVING.
OH NO, YOU'RE NOT.
WHAT ARE YOU WHELPS AFRAID OF?
WOULD YOU STEP
OVER HERE, MR. BARTON?
WHAT'S THE MATTER, MR. BARTON?
