03:28get off my land.
03:29We've come to get what's due us.
03:31You come for nothing.
03:43We're farmers, Kiefer, we ain't much with guns.
03:46No, we ain't.
03:48But now we're going to get somebody that is.
03:57He's here.
04:27Mr. Tate.
04:28Mr. Tate.
04:29Mr. Tate.
04:30Mr. Tate.
04:31Mr. Tate.
04:32Mr. Tate.

04:37Mr. Tate.
04:38Mr. Tate.
04:39Mr. Tate.
04:40Mr. Tate.
04:41Mr. Tate.
04:42Mr. Tate.
04:43Mr. Tate.
04:44Mr. Tate.
04:45Mr. Tate.
04:46Mr. Tate.
04:47Mr. Tate.
04:48Mr. Tate.
04:49Mr. Tate.
04:50Mr. Tate.
04:51Mr. Tate.
04:52Mr. Tate.
04:53Mr. Tate.
04:54Mr. Tate.
04:55Mr. Tate.
04:56Mr. Tate.
05:02Around here.
05:06Would you like to have a drink?
05:09Right now I'm more interested in food.
05:13I'm Maggie.
05:13Mr. Tate.
05:15It's my husband.
05:18This is Miss Beckley.
05:20She gets you some stuff.
05:21She gets you some stuff.
05:22All right.
05:23Sit down.
05:26Food we eat is just canned beans and vegetables.
05:38We can't get meat.
05:40Yeah, that's right.
05:42Uh, Kiefer promised to pay us off in cattle.
05:45Why should he, when none of you are willing to fight for it?
05:48I am.
05:49I ain't.
05:50Not so sure as I approve of hiring you now.
05:59You haven't hired me, until I've been paid.
06:02Get some more coffee.
06:05For six months we've been saving all the money we could.
06:10We starved ourselves to pay you.
06:12I worked myself sick on Kiefer's ranch.
06:14I'm willing to fight for the cattle he promised.
06:17You got a paper to prove that promise?
06:19You don't believe us, Mr. Tate?
06:21Is it his word against yours?
06:23Now listen, you're a gunfighter, but we farmer living here.
06:28We're honest people and we work with our hands.
06:31How do you think I fire a gun?
06:33Well I said hands.
06:37I only need one hand, Mr. Cromley.
06:40How many do you need?
06:45We got a paper to prove our claim.
06:48Here it is.
06:55Kiefer's signature?
06:56Sure it is.
06:57What's the matter, Mr. Tate?
06:59You all of a sudden a moral and God-fearing man of the law?
07:03I fight for the side that pays me and has a legal claim.
07:09This agreement says if all parties don't fulfill their obligations by the 17th, the agreement
07:16is void.
07:17Today's the 17th.
07:18Our men fulfilled it.
07:22We worked.
07:23We did our part.
07:24Now if you don't get paid off in cattle by Kiefer today, you never will.
07:30You all knew that.
07:31Why did you wait till the last day?
07:34Couldn't bring yourselves to hire a gunfighter.
07:40But now you don't care who gets killed as long as you get what you want.
07:44We hired you because he killed one of us, and we heard he was going to bring in his
07:49own gunfighters.
07:50Now you better take the money, Tate, because it's going to be you against them.
08:14Mr. Tate, I wanted to hire you.
08:24I admire men like you.
08:26You don't owe men like me.
08:28I mean, if you weren't a gunfighter, you'd still fight for what you wanted, wouldn't
08:37you?
08:38I mean, your courage to fight for other people.
08:43Only when I'm paid.
08:44You go on about your work.
08:46Go on.
08:49No liquor, Cromley.
08:51That's my business, and don't tell me.
08:52Well, I do tell you.
08:55I'll ride the way I want to.
08:56Are you done riding?
08:57Good excuse.
08:58I said that I'll ride.
08:59I'm your hired hand.
09:16I'll get your cattle, but until I do, it's what I say.
09:29I'll get your cattle, but until I do, it's what I say.
09:58Is that all his cattle?
10:05He's got more than 10,000 on open range.
10:08Those men don't look like gunfighters.
10:11They're his ranch hands, but they're good with guns.
10:15We'll see.
10:16I'll tell Kiefer.
10:17The
10:44next one won't miss.
10:46Ain't one killing enough for you nesters?
10:49These men are farmers, Kiefer.
10:51You're not one.
10:52You're the gunfighter.
10:55That's right.
10:56With all of the earmarks.
10:58You turn that barrel to you and hand the gun here.
11:03Come on.
11:06Anderson.
11:08Get his gun.
11:16Read it.
11:21Your signature?
11:24What of it?
11:25It ain't notarized?
11:28You owe these men two head of cattle apiece.
11:31I owe them what I want to pay them.
11:33I owe them money for work.
11:35You promised cattle.
11:37Cattle mean more to them than money.
11:39I agreed to give them the going price per head.
11:42You agreed to eight head of cattle.
11:45I don't give them no gift.
11:47We worked one year for you.
11:49It's no gift.
11:50I brought my cattle overland.
11:53I got them here myself.
11:55Nobody gave me any gift.
11:57Your contract.
11:59Your signature.
12:00Money, not cattle.
12:02You go cut eight head of cattle out of that corral.
12:06You do that and you'll get yourself killed.
12:09Get your eight head.
12:11We told you we'd get our pay.
12:13Why you...
12:14Family.
12:16Get your cattle.
12:24This is stealing.
12:25Collecting a legal debt.
12:27Stealing to any rancher?
12:29You got your law, they got theirs.
12:32Mine are the ones we live by in this territory.
12:36And them they take back.
12:37Now you listen, mister.
12:39I'll tell you clear every rancher in the territory will be looking for you.
12:44They'll have to find me first.
12:49Got him.
12:50This isn't the finish of this gunfighter.
12:52It'll take more than your men, Kiefer.
12:54We got more.
12:56We got gunfighters as good as you are.
12:59They're coming in by the train today.
13:01When the Nestors hired you, we got our own.
13:05And they'll kill you first.
13:36The End
13:57Well, I got him, didn't I?
13:59Come on, get over here.
14:01Well, didn't I?
14:02Not till he got here.
14:04They're in our corral now, two of them among us.
14:06You talk too much.
14:08I'll say what I want, Tate.
14:09And you boast too much.
14:14Don't you ever draw a gun again while I'm the one facing another man.
14:17If I missed him, you'd have gotten him, wouldn't you?
14:19Whatever you're trying to prove, don't use my gun to do it.
14:29There's nothing left to do now but take our two head, right, Mr. Tate?
14:33You better not glory yourself too soon.
14:35Why not?
14:36You think he meant what he said about them gunfighters coming in today?
14:39They're on that train right now, just like he said.
14:42I know they've done it in Johnson County.
14:44Then there'll be more killing.
14:46I know we shouldn't hire them.
14:48We got no corral with the other ranchers.
14:50But they have with you.
14:52Because you're here.
14:53I'm the excuse.
14:55But they'll begin with you people now.
14:57They'll burn your homes and run you off the land.
15:00Now we can't wait for them to come to us.
15:01We gotta go to them first.
15:02I don't know.
15:10You're right.
15:11A woman alone...
15:12Now stop it!
15:13A woman who lives with a man who's afraid is helpless here.
15:16She's your husband.
15:19The man who gets me has to earn me.
15:22Earn my respect.
15:26I earn your money.
15:30If we come out of this alive...
15:33If.
15:38Now let's move out.
16:00They must be waiting for Kiefer.
16:05As long as they don't know we're here,
16:07we still hold a high hand.
16:10We're no match for them, is what you're saying?
16:13We need time to maneuver.
16:15Draw them out one at a time.
16:18If we're no match for them, we shouldn't try.
16:20We'll try.
16:23Gromley!
16:29I seen him. I had him in my sights.
16:31Now what, Mr. Tate?
16:33I don't know.
16:34Well, you're paid to know you got us into this.
16:36You got yourself into it.
16:38I'm trying to get you out.
16:42We'll do what this gunfighter says.
16:44He didn't come looking for our fight.
16:45We called him to it.
16:47We'll do what this gunfighter says.
16:49He didn't come looking for our fight.
16:50We called him to it.
16:53I knew how many they had.
16:55How good they are.
17:08You're on a train.
17:10This is Tate.
17:13Send out one man. I want to talk.
17:19Tate!
17:21This is Lathrop.
17:23I'll meet with you.
17:25They're friends of yours?
17:27We work together.
17:29You wouldn't make any deal with them.
17:31I made my deal with you.
17:33I don't like you or them.
17:35My deal's with you.
17:41Now spread out and take cover.
17:44Don't show yourselves.
17:51Don't show yourselves.
18:21These people have a legal claim.
18:23You always got to have a legal idea, Tate.
18:25You always got to have a legal idea, Tate.
18:27You been paid?
18:29Not yet.
18:31When do you get your money?
18:33When I get you, drive them off.
18:35When I get you, drive them off.
18:37You got a job.
18:39You got a job.
18:41You got a job.
18:43You got a job.
18:45You got a job.
18:47You got a job.
18:50You come in with us, we don't fight.
18:52You come in with us, we don't fight.
18:54I've been paid.
18:56Kiefer will pay you double.
18:58Kiefer will pay you double.
19:00You got your outfit, I got mine.
19:02We've been together on things before, Tate.
19:04We've been together on things before, Tate.
19:06We'll pay.
19:08Like friends.
19:10You'd kill me right now if you could.
19:12You'd kill me right now if you could.
19:14That's right.
19:16You're inside and we're out here.
19:18We got the high hand.
19:22Depends how many you got.
19:24Try us.
19:28What do you want?
19:30Send you off one at a time.
19:32Couple hours apart.
19:34I'll see.
19:36I'll tell him.
19:40All right, if I turn my back on you and walk away?
19:42All right, if I turn my back on you and walk away?
19:44Go on.
19:47Just wanted to be sure.
19:57Tate!
20:16Tate!
20:46Tate!
21:16Tate!
21:46Turn around, gunfighter! Here!
22:17Before we started out...
22:19I swore I was gonna kill you if we got out of this alive.
22:21I swore I was gonna kill you if we got out of this alive.
22:23Now that somehow don't seem important.
22:25Now that somehow don't seem important.
22:27Killing a man is the easiest thing in the world.
22:29Killing a man is the easiest thing in the world.
22:31That's why I don't prove anything.
22:33That's why I don't prove anything.
22:35Well, maybe, but fighting for what's mine does.
23:16I knew you'd win, I knew it!
23:28Keefer won't bother you again.
23:31We're gonna take Anderson to his wife.
23:34I should go with him, she'll need help.
23:36You come along too.
23:40Why should I?
23:41You're right, why should you?
23:43You'll never help nobody but yourself.
23:49But it ain't gonna be all that way from now on.
23:56You leaving me alone?
23:57I thought you felt you always was.
24:00All right, let's go.
24:13He'll be back, ma'am, as soon as he finishes his job.
24:25That's when yours begins.
24:43He'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back,
