00:00Nothing out of the usual, Micah.
00:04Yeah.
00:07You and Nils go have your dinner now.
00:19Good night, Micah.
00:21Good night.
00:22Good night.
00:23Good night.
00:24Good night.
00:25Good night.
00:26Good night.
00:27Good night.
00:28Good night.
00:29Micah, if you take your time, I'll
00:32be in with Lucas McCain.
00:34Hey, Marshal.
00:43You tell one of them deputies to bring me in a steak.
00:47I've been eating this jail slop for four days,
00:49and I'm sick of it.
00:50When the US Marshal gets here from Denver,
00:52I'm sure he'll see to it you get anything you want.
00:55Yeah.
00:57They feed you real good just before they put
01:00the rope around your neck.
01:02But you remember this.
01:03They ain't going to hang me.
01:06Remember, it's a long ride from here to Yuma Prison.
01:12I'll kill anybody who tries to take me there,
01:15including you, your deputies, or anybody else that thinks
01:19they're going to hang Charlie Gordo.
01:27I'll take him from your hunger.
01:45The Rifleman.
01:54Starring Chuck Connors.
01:57Steak, potatoes, and coffee.
02:07That sounds good enough for me.
02:10Mark?
02:11Huh?
02:12You going to eat before you hang yourself with that tie?
02:17Gosh, no, Pa.
02:18I don't want to spoil my appetite.
02:20You're not going to a regular supper, son.
02:22Oh, I know, but they'll have cake and cookies,
02:24things like that.
02:25And they're even going to have some of that new stuff,
02:27ice cream.
02:28That'll be all.
02:33Just because I'm going to Lucille
02:34Bandy's birthday party, I don't see
02:36why I have to wear a tie.
02:38Well, I thought the tie was your idea.
02:44I look all right?
02:46Fine, fine.
02:56What are you so nervous about, son?
02:59Nervous?
03:00Who's nervous?
03:01What time is it?
03:0510 minutes to 7.
03:09I'd better get going.
03:10Mark, the party's not till 7.30.
03:12It only takes five minutes to get there.
03:15I know, but I don't want to be late.
03:18Mark, didn't you forget something?
03:26No.
03:31Have a good time, son.
03:39Pa, how come girls make fellas feel like, well, you know,
03:44all butterflies inside?
03:47It's even worse than the first time you try and rope a calf.
03:51Well, Mark, I guess the best way to explain
03:54It is that with girls, it's knowing
03:57that you might get roped back.
04:00Have a good time, son.
04:02Oh.
04:03Oh.
04:04Oh.
04:05Oh.
04:06Oh.
04:06Oh.
04:07Oh.
04:08Oh.
04:09Oh.
04:10Oh.
04:11Oh.
04:12Oh.
04:13Oh.
04:14Oh.
04:15Oh.
04:16Oh.
04:16Oh.
04:17Oh.
04:18Oh.
04:19Oh.
04:20Oh.
04:21Don't worry about that stage.
04:24Should have been here by now.
04:25Relax, Micah.
04:26You're letting Charlie Gordo bother you too much.
04:29You hardly touched your dinner.
04:31I haven't eaten or slept right since Gordo's been in my jail.
04:34I know.
04:34Ah!
04:35Hey!
04:39Well, I guess you'll sleep tonight.
04:46Whoa!
04:49Hello, Preston.
04:51Howdy, Lucas.
04:52What held you up?
04:54Well, we were about three hours late getting off
04:55at Pagosa Springs this morning.
04:57And sure, I had to go with something
04:58to try to make it up too.
05:01Didn't you have another passenger?
05:03No, Micah.
05:05That lawman from Denver didn't make it.
05:07What do you mean he didn't make it?
05:08Well, when we were ready to leave Pagosa Springs
05:10this morning, he wasn't there.
05:12So I went to look for him.
05:14I found him lying dead in his room.
05:15What?
05:17He was shot, Micah.
05:18Sheriff up there, he questioned everybody,
05:20but nobody had seen or heard anything.
05:22Told me to go on.
05:23Said he'd notify Denver, and they'd
05:25probably get a hold of you.
05:26Preston, who were your passengers?
05:28Well, it was Sam Detkvin.
05:29I know.
05:30I mean these two.
05:31Well, a couple of cattlemen from Denver.
05:33Real nice folks.
05:35Thanks, Preston.
05:37Sure.
05:38Sorry, Micah.
05:39Luke.
05:44Yah!
05:48Micah, they'll send another federal marshal for him.
05:50All you have to do is keep him here.
05:52Yeah, like Ted Burks up in Salinas a couple of years ago.
05:56He had Gordo locked up just one night, that's all.
05:59They killed Ted, one of his deputies,
06:00and a couple of townspeople, getting him out.
06:02The same thing happened in Waco six months ago.
06:06Lucas, I need more help.
06:11All right, Micah.
06:12I'll ride over and see if Mark can stay at the Benson's.
06:14I'll be right back.
06:15Thanks.
06:21Hey, Micah, where's that marshal?
06:24He wasn't on the stage.
06:26He, uh, was killed in Pagosa Springs.
06:39What do you mean he was killed?
06:41That's what I said.
06:45Who got killed?
06:46That Denver marshal.
06:48Then that means somebody is coming after him,
06:51just like he's been saying.
06:52Looks that way.
06:54How many, you figure?
06:55Hard to tell.
06:56Maybe one, maybe a dozen.
06:57Who knows?
07:08Look, Micah, you know I'll do Deputy Dooney
07:10any time you want me to.
07:11When I heard you had Gordo here, I came, didn't I?
07:13That's right, Ben.
07:14You did.
07:16Micah, you don't have to tell me.
07:18I know.
07:19A man with a wife and four kids?
07:22It's all right, Ben.
07:23You're going home.
07:25Micah.
07:28I'll take the door.
07:30Yeah, Nils.
07:31Yeah, you do that.
07:37Nils.
07:38Uh.
07:39Nils.
07:40Nils.
07:41Nils.
07:42Nils.
07:43Nils.
07:44Nils.
07:46Nils.
07:47Nils.
07:48Nils.
07:49Nils.
07:50Nils.
07:51Nils.
07:52Nils.
07:53Nils.
07:54Yeah, Micah?
07:56Thanks.
08:15Nils, would you mind betting razor down for me?
08:17Oh, sure, Lewis.
08:18Thanks.
08:20Micah, I didn't know you let your deputies drink on duty.
08:24I don't.
08:25I just saw Ben heading for the saloon.
08:29Ben's not on duty.
08:42Supposed to wear that over your heart.
08:47I got a big heart, Micah.
08:50Hey, Marshal.
08:52Come on in here.
08:53I want to talk to you.
09:08Now, that's better.
09:10I was getting lonesome.
09:12That Marshal from Denver, he ain't going to show up, is he?
09:15Leastwise, I heard you talking out there,
09:17and it seems like he got himself killed or something.
09:20Now, who'd do a thing like that?
09:23You know, pretty soon, there ain't going to be a lawman left.
09:32Your name is Luke McCain, ain't it?
09:35They call you the Rifleman.
09:37You know, you and me, we'd make a good team together.
09:41Shut up, Gordo.
09:42I'll bet you they're out there right now.
09:44Just breathing down your neck.
09:47I've been listening to that for four days,
09:49enough to get on a man's nerves.
09:57Micah, what about those two cattlemen from Denver
09:59who got off the stage?
10:01Oh, respectable looking.
10:03I don't think they'd arrive in town just as big as life
10:05if they had something besides cattle on their minds.
10:08Well, it wouldn't hurt to find out.
10:11Lucas, there's another stage arriving in the morning
10:14and another one in the evening.
10:15Beside that, there are people coming and going
10:17through town all the time.
10:18Now, I can't stop and question all of them.
10:20Well, you mind if I check around?
10:23No, go ahead.
10:30I'm back.
10:31Lucas, I'm coming with you.
10:39Micah?
10:40Micah?
10:42That's Ben's horse.
10:47Ben?
10:50Ben?
10:53Ben!
10:54Ben!
10:55What happened?
10:56Who did this, Ben?
11:11Ben!
11:27Sweetie, you didn't hear anything?
11:29You didn't see anything?
11:31Nothing at all?
11:33Lucas, I told you.
11:35Ben came in for a drink.
11:36We talked for a few minutes.
11:37Then he left for home.
11:39That's all.
11:40And the other two were still in your place when he left?
11:42Yep.
11:45Nils said about the same thing.
11:47Ben came out, got on his horse, and rode off.
11:50About five minutes later, the two cattlemen came out
11:52and went straight to the hotel.
11:54Thanks, sweetie.
11:55Micah, take the ladder.
11:56Come here.
12:07What are you doing?
12:08Could be we overlooked something, Micah.
12:17Hey, look.
12:19Ben was dragged in here.
12:21Yeah.
12:24Maybe they're out there right now, breathing down our necks.
12:27You're quoting Gordo again?
12:31Yeah.
12:32I guess I am.
12:39Well, I guess that answers your question.
12:41Micah?
12:42Lucas?
12:43What is it?
12:44What was that shot?
12:45What happened?
12:46Who's in the office?
12:48Nobody.
12:49I mean, nobody.
13:09Howdy, Marshal.
13:13What's going on out there?
13:15I keep hearing gunshots.
13:17That deputy, he come in here and told me that other fellow
13:20got himself killed.
13:21Is that right?
13:22How many are out there, Gordo?
13:26I remember in Salina, 12.
13:29And down Waco, five.
13:32No, seven.
13:34But don't you suppose, Marshal, they're
13:36just out there having some fun, riling you
13:38up before they kill you?
13:53You know better than to leave this office unguarded.
13:55The back door's double locked, but that won't stop them.
13:57Well, I'm sorry, Micah.
13:58I heard that shot across the way, and I didn't realize.
14:00I just...
14:01Micah, I'd like to get away for a few minutes.
14:03I feel like I need a drink.
14:04Yeah.
14:05You look like you need a drink.
14:08O'Neil, you, uh, you're coming back.
14:13Sure I'm coming back.
14:21Micah, I'd still like to talk to those two cattlemen.
14:26I'll wait here.
14:28Gentlemen.
14:30Yes?
14:32You're the fellows who came in on the Denver stage tonight?
14:35That's right.
14:37Planning to stay in town long?
14:39Well, we came here to buy some cattle, Marshal.
14:42We were beginning to wonder.
14:44Well, I'm not a Marshal.
14:45I'm a deputy.
14:47Oh, I'm sorry.
14:48Hey, is that a safe job now?
14:50It seems that lawmen in this part of the country
14:52don't live long.
14:54You're referring to what happened this morning
14:55in Pagosa Springs?
14:56Well, that and what happened here tonight.
14:59That other deputy.
15:01Say, who is this Gordo anyway?
15:04Bartender over at the saloon said you had him in your jail.
15:07You never heard of him?
15:08Our business is cattle, not outlaws.
15:12Well, they're not my business normally either.
15:14I'm a cattle rancher myself.
15:16Is that so?
15:17Well, maybe we can get together and do some business.
15:21Well, maybe we can get together and do some business.
15:24Chester.
15:25Dave Chester.
15:26This is Carl Hollis.
15:27Warden of Glove.
15:28Lucas McCain.
15:30Just what is it you're looking for in the way of cattle?
15:32Any and all.
15:33What do you got?
15:34The beef market is high in Denver.
15:37Yeah, I guess it is.
15:39Well, if you fellows are going to be around,
15:41as soon as I'm free, maybe we can ride out to my place
15:44and look over the stock.
15:46Fine, fine.
15:48Good night.
15:49Night.
15:58Hey, Marshal.
16:05What do you want?
16:07A drink.
16:08I ain't had one in three hours.
16:18Micah.
16:20In here, Lucas.
16:37You all right?
16:39I'm an ape.
16:41I'm going to kill you, sodbuster.
16:45Nobody ever hit Charlie Gordo.
16:47Ain't nothing to tell about it.
16:49I'm going to kill you.
16:50You hear me?
16:51You hear me?
16:52I'm going to kill you.
16:54Nobody ever hit Charlie Gordo.
16:57How much longer is this going to last?
17:00Micah, how long would you say it takes to build up a cattle herd?
17:05Well, I, what are you talking about?
17:09Well, six months ago, this territory
17:11was hit with the worst hoof and mouth plague in its history.
17:13There weren't enough cattle left to fill one loading pen.
17:15So?
17:17So now that we've barely started to build up our herd,
17:21along come two cattlemen who want to buy our stock.
17:24To me, that adds up to either they don't know the cattle business
17:28or they're not in the cattle business.
17:32Sometimes I don't think this job pays enough.
17:35I could be wrong.
17:37Best we figure you're right.
17:43Oh, yes.
17:46We're off to Hersheyton, Hershey.
17:50Come on.
17:51He is in the parking lot, right close to the parking lot.
17:55I thought it would be after the pictures.
17:57Well, we are.
17:58But it doesn't matter.
17:59Hersheyton was a lies to us.
18:01They were asked to buy the land.
18:04Of course they did.
18:06Still, it's theirs.
18:08Do you realize it's ours?
18:09But it's mine.
18:10Isn't it right, Charles?
18:12I think it's time now.
18:41You're out there, Marshal?
18:58Are you still alive, sodbuster?
19:03Lucas, boy.
19:12All right, hold it!
19:13Stay right where you are!
19:19Marshal?
19:22You hear me?
19:24You better throw that gun outside and keep yourself from getting killed.
19:30You might try to take Gordo, but you'll
19:32have to face this shotgun first.
20:04BANG!
20:07BANG!
20:09BANG!
20:13Oh!
20:34BANG!
20:35BANG!
20:39BANG!
20:40BANG!
20:41BANG!
20:42BANG!
20:43BANG!
20:55Sure didn't make good sense, Marshal.
21:00Save him for Gordo.
21:04Get the horses.
21:17Well, Marshal, looks like your troubles are all over.
21:21Old Charlie Gordo ain't gonna be around here no more.
21:25Gordo, some day they're gonna catch up with you.
21:30Sure.
21:32Sure.
21:34Come on, Charlie, finish him off, and let's get out of here.
21:36I don't want to finish him off.
21:38I want him alive, so I can tell everybody
21:41what Charlie Gordo had done.
21:45And you tell them, won't you, Marshal?
21:47You tell them good.
21:52So long.
22:04Come on.
22:16Quiet, ain't it?
22:18I guess I ain't gonna need this no more.
22:34No.
22:37No.
23:04I can't.
23:16Lucas, boy.
23:19I thought you were...
23:26I'm mad at you, Michael.
23:29I've had worse.
23:31Ordo.
23:36He said he'll sleep tonight.
23:44So will I.
23:52Well, I get him out of staying in town a few days until Micah gets on his feet, do you?
23:55Oh, no, Pa.
23:56Staying in town is like going to a funeral.
23:59Staying in town is like a vacation to me.
24:01It may be, but you still have to go to school.
24:03Yeah, I know.
24:05Of course, after school, I can always help Lucille Bandy break that new pinot colt that she got for her birthday.
24:11Mark, you never did tell me. How was Lucille's birthday party?
24:15Oh, great.
24:17Oh, boy, we had a swell time, Pa.
24:19They had a...
24:23Well, it was all right, I guess.
24:26Well, you know.
24:28All those girls.
24:31Yeah.
24:34Well, I'll be seeing you.
