00:00 (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
00:02 -Where's the doctor? -He's in there.
00:17 He's still alive?
00:23 That's the last time I heard.
00:26 Are you the fellow that found him?
00:31 Uh-huh.
00:32 Well, a mighty beholden to you, Mr...
00:34 -Randall. -Randall.
00:36 I won't forget what you've done.
00:37 -Where did you find him? -On the Arcade Road,
00:47 about four miles north of the junction.
00:49 -Then it was them. -Sir?
00:54 The Blakes. They're the ones that done it.
00:57 Did it pain you?
01:22 Oh, some. Not much.
01:24 Amos.
01:27 What are you gonna do?
01:31 Kill Mayor Blake.
01:32 Well, this'll start it again.
01:40 You mean that fellow really planned to go out and shoot Blake?
01:47 That was his best dog, Mr. Randall.
01:52 He'll kill the man that shot him.
01:54 (SIREN WAILING)
01:55 (SIREN WAILING)
02:24 I don't know. It seemed like a pretty fair dog.
02:26 It was.
02:27 -How much owe you? -A dollar.
02:29 Well, first thing tomorrow morning,
02:35 we better send somebody out to spread the word.
02:37 Let the town know it started again.
02:38 Somebody gonna go out and warn this fellow Blake?
02:40 He'll know about it soon enough.
02:42 Yeah, when he gets his head blown off.
02:44 These two had trouble before?
02:46 Families have, the last 40, 45 years.
02:48 Yeah, it's a real sure enough feud.
02:50 How'd it start, John?
02:52 I don't think anybody can remember.
02:53 The way I heard it, there was some trouble between Amos' daddy
02:56 and one of Chester Blake's kin.
02:58 All of a sudden, they start shooting at each other.
03:00 Two fine families.
03:01 Now, they've almost wiped each other out.
03:03 Well, this time, I don't think Amos and Chester are gonna go it alone.
03:06 I'll bet you they bring in hired guns.
03:08 They'll do that, sure. You wait and see.
03:10 Yeah.
03:11 Now, they'll try to settle it by themselves, as always.
03:13 Well, if they do bring in hired guns, this town's gonna get shot up.
03:16 Somebody really ought to go out and try and stop 'em.
03:18 Yeah. They'll stick to the rules.
03:21 What do you mean, stick to the rules?
03:23 Long as they keep the shooting outside of town, the rest of us don't bother.
03:27 Huh.
03:28 In other words, you're saying nobody in this town's gonna do anything to stop 'em, huh?
03:31 Well, it seems to me somebody ought to have enough sense to ride out there
03:34 and stop 'em from all this foolishness.
03:36 You hire out that gun, don't you?
03:38 On occasion.
03:39 You want the job?
03:40 No.
03:42 But the Carters and the Blakes are just like a boil when they get going.
03:45 All I know is, this was my town.
03:47 I tried to put a stop to it.
03:49 Well, I'll be happy to point out their places to you.
03:52 John, this isn't my town. It isn't my problem.
03:55 Which is a nice way of saying you're short on backbone.
03:58 Now, listen.
03:59 I figure, compared to the rest of this town, I'm a giant.
04:03 Now, look here.
04:06 That was just about $100 there.
04:09 Oh, of course, I know that isn't as much as a big bounty hunter is used to getting.
04:13 But every cent of that is yours, if you'll stop that feuding.
04:17 How about it, Mr. Randall?
04:18 You've been making some big statements.
04:20 You just shooting off your mouth, or will you back up what you say?
04:23 I'll add $100 on my own.
04:30 Well, there you are.
04:33 Want the job?
04:35 Well, uh...
04:39 What do I find that's just a Blake?
04:42 On the Arcade Road.
04:45 Just beyond where you found that dog.
04:47 On the left, it's Carter Ground. To the right, it's Blake's.
04:50 That's...
04:53 After you've stopped the feud.
04:56 - Yeah? - Yeah.
04:57 Josh.
05:06 I'm glad you're getting paid for this.
05:09 How's that?
05:10 I don't feel quite so responsible.

06:18 [GUNSHOT]
06:19 Blake?
06:31 Is that you out there doing all that shooting?
06:33 Blake, is that you?
06:35 [GUNSHOT]
06:37 Hey, you trying to bushwhack me?
06:41 You know, people told me you stood up and faced your enemies.
06:44 What you doing on my land?
06:47 You Chester Blake?
06:48 It's me. What you doing here?
06:51 Come out so I can see. I want to talk.
06:54 Throw your gun out where I can see it.
06:57 Ha!
06:58 It's all the same to you. I'll keep it. You'll have to start shooting again.
07:02 You said it. I ain't a bushwhacker.
07:04 Besides, I'd have killed you before if that was my intent.
07:07 Your gun. Throw it out where I can see it.
07:10 [♪♪♪]
07:14 [♪♪♪]
07:16 Now stand up.
07:23 Step out where I can see you.
07:27 Keep your hands away from your side.
07:31 That's right. That's the way to do it.
07:34 Just like that.
07:36 Mm-hmm.
07:37 [♪♪♪]
07:41 [♪♪♪]
07:43 You just stand there right easy.
07:48 That's the way. Mm-hmm.
07:51 What's your name?
07:52 Randall.
07:53 First part or last part?
07:55 Last part.
07:56 First part's Josh.
07:58 Mm-hmm.
08:00 You always treat people this way?
08:02 Depends on if they's carters or not.
08:04 What you doing here?
08:05 Like I said before, I want to talk to you.
08:07 About what?
08:09 About that feud of yours.
08:10 Yeah? What about it?
08:12 Well, uh, you mind putting that gun down?
08:15 You got any trickery in mind?
08:18 Well, if I did, I would have took that gun away from you a long time ago.
08:20 Let me give you a tip. When you're talking to somebody, don't stand so close.
08:22 At this level, I'd take that gun away from you and wrap it around your neck.
08:25 [CHUCKLES]
08:27 Let me give you a tip.
08:29 Seth!
08:33 [GUNSHOT]
08:38 Don't you ever try it. Uh-uh.
08:40 [CHUCKLES]
08:42 Seth! Come on down here and meet Mr. Randall.
08:45 Yes, sir.
08:49 How are you, Mr. Randall?
08:55 He wants to talk to us about a feud.
08:57 Is he with us or on their side?
09:00 Well, now, he ain't fed right now. Huh?
09:06 Yeah, well, uh, I don't know nothing about the situation.
09:09 You pick any sides.
09:10 If you know the facts, you'd be with us.
09:12 Sure, anybody knows the facts, they'd be with us.
09:14 Well, uh, why don't you tell me about it?
09:17 I'll just do that. Yes, sir, I'll just do that.
09:20 No need to stand out here in the haunt. Come on out the house.
09:23 Get his weapon there, will you, Seth?
09:35 Mendeley!
09:36 Mendeley!
09:40 Yeah?
09:46 Bring it out, bring it out.
09:48 Who's that you got with you?
09:51 I'd wanted you to know, I'd have told you coming up.
09:54 Now bring it out.
09:55 Now you sit down and make yourself comfortable, Mr. Randall.
10:00 Gotta get at this porch one of these days.
10:02 Yes, sir, I gotta get at it.
10:04 That's all. Get inside.
10:16 It's hot in there.
10:18 Don't lift me, woman. Get back inside.
10:20 I'm not lifting you.
10:22 I'm not lifting you.
10:24 I'm not lifting you.
10:26 I'm not lifting you.
10:28 Get inside.
10:29 Yes, sir.
10:35 Gotta get this place to running one of these days.
10:37 Gotta get it to running.
10:39 That's a little green.
10:47 That's the best we got.
10:49 Oh, no thank you.
10:51 You won't drink with me?
10:54 Yeah, well...
10:55 At the first pull, it don't bite so much.
10:57 That's you, Ellis?
11:08 That's you trying to bushwhack me?
11:10 I come for you, Chester Blake.
11:14 I come for you and your king.
11:16 I come for you and your king.
11:18 I come for you and your king.
11:20 I come for you and your king.
11:22 I come for you and your king.
11:23 And anybody else that might be with you.
11:25 Would you tell him to let me have my gun?
11:47 You pick your side yet?
11:49 Yeah, my own side.
11:51 Look, old man.
11:52 I sure don't plan on dying without a chance, at least.
11:55 You won't turn it against me?
11:57 No.
11:59 Seth?
12:01 Huh?
12:03 This gun, throw it up here.
12:05 Why?
12:07 I told you.
12:09 There.
12:13 There it is. Now get it.
12:15 Oh, sure. That does me a lot of good.
12:17 You go ahead and get it.
12:20 I'll cover you.
12:21 Now, now, boy.
12:29 Get it. The old man's only got a single loader.
12:31 Hey, Miss Carter, you stop that right now.
12:41 You stop it. I don't want my house shot to pieces.
12:44 Shut up, woman.
12:46 Hey, Miss.
12:49 You ready to die, Chester?
12:50 Why are you doing this, Amos?
12:52 You know why?
12:54 If I knowed, I wouldn't ask you. Tell me.
12:57 You killed Jamie.
12:59 Did you hear me?
13:01 My best dog's dead.
13:03 Well, I didn't kill your dog, Amos.
13:05 That's the truth.
13:07 I call you a liar, Chester Blake.
13:09 I call all your kin liars.
13:11 The whole Blake family ain't fit to slop down
13:13 with the dirtiest pig in the world.
13:15 That goes for you, Chester Blake.
13:18 You say your goodbyes now, Chester,
13:19 'cause I'm gonna kill you.
13:21 Hey, what are you gonna do?
13:23 I didn't kill his dog.
13:25 Well, somebody did. I found the animal myself.
13:27 Where?
13:29 Out on that arcade road about four miles north.
13:31 Hey, Carter.
13:34 Who are you?
13:36 It's Randall.
13:38 What are you doing here?
13:40 Well, I come over to talk to Chester.
13:42 I thought you was a friend.
13:44 Now, listen.
13:47 You don't believe him.
13:48 Well, I don't.
13:50 Why not?
13:52 Because he's a Blake, that's why.
13:54 And ain't ne'er one of 'em can tell the truth one inch.
13:56 I feel the same way about the Carters.
13:58 Will you shut up?
14:00 Now, maybe you don't care about dying, but I do.
14:02 Hey, Carter.
14:07 Maybe we could talk about this.
14:09 Go ahead. Use your words.
14:11 But that don't mean I'm gonna listen to 'em.
14:13 What do you got in your head?
14:16 Don't talk. Just listen.
14:17 Carter!
14:19 If you put your gun aside and step out in the open,
14:21 we can talk this thing over.
14:23 That's the way to do it. Get him to stand up, and I'll nail him.
14:25 There gonna be none of that now.
14:28 Well, you ain't a-tellin' me.
14:30 Put the rifle down.
14:32 Say it.
14:35 Huh?
14:38 You can shoot him. You can kill him.
14:40 You try, but if you miss, I won't. You hear me?
14:46 (GUNSHOT)
14:47 (LAUGHING)
14:49 Carter, you stop that now, do you hear me?
14:51 You stop it right now!
14:53 You're a Judas, that's what you are.
14:55 Just a no-good Judas.
14:57 All right, put down the gun.
15:00 Right now.
15:02 Carter, I'm gonna have Blake put his gun down.
15:08 I want you to do the same. You understand me?
15:10 What if I don't?
15:13 Well, then I'm gonna give 'em back their guns
15:15 and help 'em come and get ya.
15:17 How do I know you won't try to kill me yourself?
15:19 I got no interest in this thing.
15:21 Got your word?
15:23 You got my word.
15:25 All right, make the old hog throw the gun out where I can see it.
15:27 I'll get you for this.
15:29 You can mark it down, I'll hang your scalp.
15:31 All right, you probably will,
15:34 but right now, put the gun out there where you can see it.
15:36 Go on.
15:39 (dramatic music)
15:40 Shove it out farther, we can see it.
15:44 All right, Carter, now yours.
15:56 You're gonna have my blood on your head, Randall.
16:00 He'd never do it, he never will.
16:03 Carter!
16:05 (dramatic music)
16:07 Carter!
16:08 (gun fires)
16:10 All right, now I got the only gun between the three of us,
16:15 and if anybody stepped out of line, I'm gonna use it, you hear me?
16:18 Do you understand, Carter?
16:21 I understand.
16:23 Well, come on out, then.
16:25 Okay, you too.
16:33 You're gonna be sorry about this.
16:36 You're gonna be sorry you ever got mixed up with me.
16:38 What do you mean, I'm sorry now?
16:40 Go on.
16:42 You too, Seth.
16:47 (dramatic music)
16:49 You too, Carter.
16:57 (dramatic music)
16:58 All right.
17:09 Now the three of you, sit down.
17:11 (gun fires)
17:14 Minnie Lee?
17:26 (door opens)
17:27 Yeah?
17:33 Bring it out.
17:35 Now, just a minute.
17:37 You may force me into looking at him,
17:39 but there ain't no way you can make me
17:41 share my drinking liquor with him.
17:43 Will you please shut up?
17:45 Thank you.
17:54 Thank you.
17:55 Morning, housewoman.
17:58 I want you to see my disgrace.
18:00 I've seen that for years.
18:02 Here.
18:05 You make this?
18:09 What difference does it make?
18:11 Go ahead, try it.
18:13 You made it.
18:18 (dramatic music)
18:19 All right, now let's see if we can't
18:47 get this thing straightened out.
18:48 I want you to tell me the truth.
18:51 You kill his dog?
18:53 No, sir.
18:55 He said the truth.
18:57 He just heard it.
18:59 Jamie's found on the road.
19:01 They was the only ones around here to do it.
19:03 I sure didn't kill him.
19:05 If I kill anything, it ain't gonna be a dog.
19:07 Seth?
19:09 Seth?
19:11 I think I'll have some more of that juice.
19:15 (squelching)
19:16 Take your hands from me.
19:19 Did you kill him?
19:21 You gonna let him pull at me like this?
19:23 Look, I'm still waiting for an answer.
19:25 Tell him!
19:27 I knowed it, was it, Blake?
19:30 I knowed it all the time.
19:32 It was an accident, I didn't mean to do it.
19:34 Well, why'd you do it at all?
19:36 I was shooting rabbits.
19:38 I heard a noise in the bush and shot it.
19:40 Turned out it wasn't a rabbit.
19:43 Just left them laying in the middle of the road to die, huh?
19:44 I was afraid of what my Uncle Chester'd say.
19:46 I was afraid of him.
19:48 I'll peel the hide off your back, you shooter dog.
19:51 No use to stay around here.
19:53 You be ready, Seth Blake.
19:56 You be ready to meet your God.
19:58 Don't you make any tomorrow plans yourself.
20:00 Not any at all.
20:02 Hey, Carter, what...
20:04 Whoever starts shooting, I do too.
20:10 Oh, leave it to me.
20:12 Oh, leave 'em alone.
20:13 Let 'em kill each other and get it over with.
20:16 Ain't neither one of 'em worth the powder to push the shell.
20:19 Shut your mouth, woman!
20:21 Don't tell me.
20:23 I've been talking to Clara and she feels the same way as I do.
20:26 My wife been talking to you?
20:28 Certainly.
20:30 You two old hogs don't expect us to go along with your kid games, do you?
20:34 Go on, mister, get out of the way.
20:37 Let 'em have at each other.
20:39 They won't kill each other anyways.
20:41 That only stopped the feud.
20:42 Neither one of 'em would stand for that.
20:45 Now, what about that?
20:48 You want to kill Blake here?
20:51 Don't make no difference what I want.
20:53 You'd shoot me the first chance you got.
20:55 Like everything else you say, that's a lie.
20:57 I gotta protect myself.
20:59 Ah, listen, I could have killed you a dozen times.
21:01 A dozen times!
21:03 Every time I missed you, it's been on purpose.
21:05 Look, why don't we stop all this foolishness.
21:08 Put your gun up and step on the gas.
21:10 Put your gun up and step on out in the clearing, huh?
21:11 Well, Jamie's dead.
21:13 He can't be brought back.
21:15 Sorry about that, Amos.
21:17 Truly, I am.
21:19 I like dogs.
21:21 All right, Carter.
21:31 Give me the gun.
21:34 You too, Blake.
21:35 Put the gun aside.
21:37 Come on.
21:39 All right, you two.
21:53 Now, let's forget about this feud once and for all now.
21:55 What do you say?
21:57 I'm gonna go get my gun.
21:59 You two, go ahead.
22:02 What do you say?
22:03 It's either that or me and Claire
22:05 are not gonna do the chores around the house.
22:07 We talked it over and we decided.
22:09 I won't shake hands, Amos.
22:16 But I will say I'm sorry
22:19 and I'll quit feuding if you will.
22:21 Done.
22:24 What happened?
22:31 What's the matter?
22:32 All over?
22:34 Well, I hope so.
22:36 You think they'll really stop?
22:56 They will for a while anyway.
22:58 Don't plan on it. I know 'em.
23:00 Anyway, the shooting's over.
23:01 Looks like a storm's coming up.
23:04 That's no storm, Josh.
23:06 That's the Carters and the Blakes
23:08 that's spinning in their graves.
23:10 They're mad, mean mad.
23:12 You best take it easy, son.
23:14 What do you mean?
23:16 You stopped the feud.
23:18 Throw 'em.
23:24 I told you.
23:26 (THUNDER RUMBLING)
23:27 I told you.
