00:00How does he look, Lucas boy?
00:13Not too good.
00:15What do you suppose it is?
00:17Same as the pair last week.
00:19Only this one's worse.
00:21Hey, you're punishing that horse, son.
00:26Well, she's out to run today, Pa.
00:29Can't hold him in.
00:31Gosh, isn't it fine outdoors?
00:33What's wrong with the steer?
00:35Well, he's not feeling too good, son.
00:37Oh, maybe if I ran him a little bit.
00:39You know, you're too full of mustard.
00:41I tell you what.
00:43You take the afternoon.
00:44I'll mind your chores.
00:45Gosh, Pa, thanks.
00:47Today I feel like a west wind of ruin.
00:49Woo!
00:50Woo!
01:20How shall the banjo sing in Laddie Buck?
01:38Well, the way you do it.
01:40Gosh.
01:41You just wasn't expecting music out here.
01:43Well, stop off and visit.
01:45Name's Lafayette Bly.
01:48Howdy, Mr. Bly.
01:51My name's Martin McCain.
01:53Well, mostly my friends call me Fay.
01:56Help yourself to coffee.
01:58Well, I guess once wouldn't hurt.
02:01Smells so good.
02:03When coffee tastes like it smell, then it's good coffee.
02:07Sugar, in the upward box.
02:11If you'll set things back exactly like as is.
02:15You sure picked a nice spot.
02:17Always listen for running water.
02:20Stop when you feel the coolness of shape trees.
02:24And then...
02:27Ah, then, if you hear running water...
02:33To springtime, to springtime, cold winter is past.
02:37Warm breezes are blowing, and May's here at last.
02:42The birds are returning, their songs fill the air.
02:46And meadows are smiling with blossoms so fair.
02:55What's that?
02:58I sent rubber ball.
03:00Develop your hands, bound to be stronger all over.
03:04Old human physics connected up.
03:06Bet you really got a grip.
03:08Had to swear off shaking hands.
03:12I'll get it.
03:13Stop, quiet, don't move!
03:44Sorry, Marco.
03:46Just had to listen where the ball rolled.
03:50You're blind.
04:03The Rifleman.
04:06Starring Chuck Connors.
04:18I'm... I'm terrible sorry I mentioned about it, Mr. Bligh.
04:23Thought I told you my friends call me Fay.
04:26Well, come now.
04:28Fay.
04:29That's better.
04:31Fay.
04:32That's better.
04:34Oh, Marco, I ain't exactly partial to being sightless.
04:38But I ain't bashful I haven't spoke of.
04:41Man's bashful of a nose pimple or a missing tooth.
04:45Sightless is bigger.
04:48Bigger your ways in darkness.
04:51Isn't there anything that can be done about your eyes?
04:54No.
04:56No, Marco.
04:58But it ain't all that bad.
05:00I can tune up on any street in this here nation.
05:03And it ain't a minute till some kindly hand is guiding me in through the swing doors.
05:08And then I hear the voices calling for a song or story
05:12before I've even had my fill of beer or free lunch.
05:15What kind of stories do you tell?
05:17Lies.
05:19Mostly about myself.
05:21But more truth than lies.
05:23On my 21st birthday I've been three years on a whaling ship.
05:28I've known warfare and I've known love.
05:32But of the two, loving was painfuller.
05:35Where'd you fight at?
05:37It was just a barrier, Smith.
05:39But at Shiloh Church I fought in the last scratch reserve.
05:43And lived to boast of it.
05:45And from Vicksburg we bring the forges clear up to the siege lines
05:49to mend our smashed guns.
05:51And right under the eyes of Grant and Sherman
05:54my spent ribbed round shot came bounding up and glanced over my head.
05:57Well, when Uncle Billy Sherman sees I'm only a knocked skintless
06:02he says to Grant,
06:03General, he says,
06:05now we know for sure which is harder,
06:08the enemy cannonball or the skulls of our fearless troops.
06:12How can we lose?
06:15Well, that's what comes to Sherman.
06:17He'd bend over laughing like he'd taken a mini-ball through his sword's edge.
06:22Somebody just shot something.
06:26I know how you feel, Lucas, but you couldn't let him suffer.
06:30Like shooting down a $10 bill that I sweated for.
06:34What do you suppose makes him so sick?
06:37Like Moraine in the Bible.
06:40I midwifed this one into the world.
06:42Now I gotta bury him.
06:44Can't leave him for the coyotes.
06:46See you at the ranch later, Micah?
06:48No, I've got a meeting at the hotel, but thanks anyway.
06:55I like your wrist more.
06:58Aside from saddle trams, you get many strangers in town?
07:01Some.
07:04How come it never sounds the same as when you do it?
07:07Practice. You'll be a good player.
07:09With this one chord?
07:11You mastered it, try the next one.
07:13Buy some information I got.
07:16There's a stranger be passing through here this week.
07:19If you see anyone, will you let me know?
07:21Sure. Besides, I'll be coming by for my banjo lessons.
07:24And, uh, promise not to mention to anyone about me camping here.
07:30Why? You're not doing anything.
07:32Got my reasons, boy.
07:35Big reasons.
07:39Blind man's reasons.
07:41Blind man's reasons.
07:48Gosh, I'll be late for supper. I better get going.
07:51Mark!
07:52I loved a girl back there in my seeing days.
07:55Oh, my, she was like the outest to reach red apple at the top of the tree.
07:59Till he come by looking up at her.
08:02Know what he done?
08:04I'll tell you what he done. He blinded me.
08:07Making out to be my friend with all them eye medicines.
08:10Let me go, you're hurting me.
08:11In just under six years, my pretty sweetheart was dead in the grave from his mistreatments.
08:15Iris.
08:16Now a smart boy like you should know him easy.
08:19Six foot five, with a lanky leg where you're walking.
08:22And pale colored eyes over his cheekbones.
08:25Now, I don't know what name he goes under.
08:27All I ever knowed him by was Mac.
08:32Well, what's the matter? What's all this, boy?
08:35Well, boy, your heart's piping like a drop porch.
08:43Shame on me for crunching your poor skinny wrist.
08:48Well, no bones broke.
08:51I'll tell you what, Marco, we'll forget about all that promising.
08:56From here on, I'm trusting your loyalty to this fine friendship we struck up.
09:05I love you.
09:16Pa, shouldn't we take the buckboard for bringing the hide back?
09:19Just the shovel. I've got no heart for skinning him.
09:25Pa.
09:28Did you ever injure anyone real severely?
09:31Say, maybe blind them?
09:32What?
09:34For instance, on account of Ma.
09:36You've been reading too many of those books.
09:39You mean Ivanhoe.
09:40No, I don't mean Ivanhoe.
09:46Sounds like the varmint's got the stir ahead of us.
09:49Do a better job than we would.
09:53Mark, you've been looking at me all evening like you never saw me before.
09:58Something troubling you, son?
10:01Nothing special, Pa.
10:19That's the fourth stir in a week, Pa.
10:21How much longer is this going to last?
10:23I don't know, son. I just don't know.
10:26Good day, gentlemen.
10:27Howdy.
10:29You, um, care for a cup of coffee?
10:32Just some water.
10:33I'll get it, Pa.
10:35Thanks, McCain.
10:36Oh, you know my name?
10:37I know a lot of names. You see, I, uh...
10:43Hey.
10:44Well?
10:45Ah.
10:49He's about as tall as I am.
10:51Son, lay this shovel handle across here.
10:54Oh, all right.
11:01Just a hair's difference.
11:03That don't happen too frequent.
11:04No, it doesn't.
11:05Maxonam. M-A-C-K. J.J. Mack.
11:08What can I do for you, Mr. Mack?
11:10Well, uh...
11:11Mind if I take a look at your bunch?
11:13Bunch?
11:14It's not a bunch.
11:16It's a herd. How can I help you?
11:18McCain, I've been looking at herds up to 3,500 head all summer.
11:21To me, this is just a bunch.
11:23Well, that's all I've got, mister. Now, what do you want?
11:26Well, I asked your permission only out of civility.
11:28Actually, I have a warrant.
11:30Well, now that the civility is over,
11:32maybe you'd better show that warrant.
11:34Now, uh...
11:37The territorial governor authorized me,
11:39as veterinarian pharmacist, to inspect all livestock
11:41for episodic hoof-and-mouth disease.
11:43What?
11:44Veterinarian pharmacist to inspect all livestock
11:46for episodic hoof-and-mouth disease.
11:48It's just a letter, mister.
11:50Not with the paper it's written on.
11:57I can have this enforcement gang.
11:59Well, do it!
12:00In the meantime, get off my land.
12:02You're making a big mistake.
12:15What's his name again?
12:18Mac.
12:20Mac.
12:22What would you do to him?
12:24How do I know?
12:28Why ain't he here yet?
12:30No folks on his tinnery.
12:34Could he have been went?
12:37Could he?
12:39No, I'd have heard.
12:41Say,
12:43what would you really do to him?
12:46Just let me get my hands on him for,
12:48oh, about two minutes.
12:51Till I teach him his lesson.
12:54World without end everlasting.
13:01Sorry to inform you,
13:03warrior steers are drooling.
13:05That's a contagious stage.
13:07They have to be destroyed.
13:08Hear him?
13:09He wants to condemn four head of prime beef.
13:11Almost $50.
13:13Afraid I'm not making myself very clear.
13:15Your entire herd now classifies as being infected.
13:19Under the law, they have to be buried no less than five feet deep
13:22with no parts removed or missing.
13:24The government says that?
13:26It's to your benefit in the long run as a cattleman.
13:28It is, huh?
13:29Does the government know those cows are my cash income for the whole year?
13:33I've got land payments, mister.
13:35If they're not met, I can be sold at public auction.
13:37Look, McCain.
13:39Why don't you go on back to the ranch?
13:41Marshal and I can handle this thing for you.
13:43Get him off my land, Micah.
13:45I still slaughter my own cattle.
13:47Now, Lucas, be reasonable.
13:48Let me have today.
13:51Tomorrow I'll be reasonable.
14:07Come on.
14:37Boy, it's just about like shooting your feet out from underneath you.
14:44This year we'll have to break 20 acres of new land to come out even.
15:38We'll have to break 20 acres of new land to come out even.
15:41The man you're looking for, Mr. Mack, he's in town.
16:08I seen him, Faye.
16:30This is your last chance.
16:31He's leaving tomorrow.
16:32Are you sure now?
16:34That's what he told me.
16:41Howdy.
16:53Seen my boy around?
16:54As I rode out this morning.
16:56Matter of fact, he asked me when I'd be leaving permanently.
17:00Why'd you blind?
17:02Oh, McCain, how's the boy doing with the ranch work
17:09while you're plowing?
17:10Ranch work?
17:11There's no cattle.
17:14I don't make many friends at my job.
17:20I owe you an apology, sir.
17:30Not a long, laddie buck.
17:32I'll call for you mixing in this.
17:34How you gonna know it's him?
17:41Giddy.
17:43Pan 40.
17:45Tired and plenty bothered.
17:51That's Mrs. Ransom, a whiskey husband and 11 kids.
17:56A young lute.
17:58Got nothing on his mind but gals and auctions.
18:05Well, this one's quite somebody.
18:09Pan, about 55.
18:12Quiet, but he got authority.
18:21Well, you sure called him.
18:23Micah's our town marshal.
18:28Yeah?
18:30Yet?
18:33It's him.
18:36Six foot five, 190 pounds.
18:40Walk like the high and end of an Arkansas mule.
18:47Give him something to remember you by, Faye.
18:59It's not him!
19:01Let go!
19:04Let him go!
19:06Listen to me, it's not him, it's my boy!
19:09Faye, listen to me!
19:11It's not him, it's my boy!
19:13You gotta believe me, it's my boy!
19:16Let him go!
19:18Let him go!
19:20Let him go!
19:30Cough, Lucas, cough.
19:35I'm awfully sorry, Pa.
19:37I just wanted to get even with that vet.
19:39It was him, not you.
19:42Please forgive me.
19:45Get even with the vet?
19:47I'm sorry, Pa.
19:50I'm sorry.
19:55Vengeance is mine.
19:58Say it before it.
20:07If you don't prefer charges, Lucas, I can only hold him on disorderly conduct.
20:11No charges, Micah.
20:12He should be taught a lesson.
20:14He's not a criminal.
20:15He's learned something already.
20:17And I think Mark has too.
20:20Do you plan to hold him, Marshal?
20:23No, I guess not.
20:25Do you mind if I saw him before you released him?
20:28No, go right ahead.
20:30Thanks.
20:44This time it's really you.
20:47How could I have been mistook?
20:50Bug fever?
20:52Why did you want to kill me, Fay?
20:54Why did you want to blind me, John?
20:56Blind you?
20:59The boric solution?
21:02Fay, I'm a pharmacist.
21:04I could tell you were losing your eyesight.
21:07The eye drops were just to soothe you.
21:09Soothe me?
21:10While you got round my sweet woman?
21:12Would you have married her blind?
21:14Would she have been willing?
21:16Yes.
21:18If she had known in time.
21:20But, Fay...
21:23I don't think you could have done that to her.
21:26You dog.
21:28You liar.
21:29Now I hear to you and your cruelties.
21:32I never touched her.
21:34I spoke to her, even looked at her,
21:36except in loving kindness, I swear that.
21:39She died in childbirth.
21:42At least you're spared the blame of that.
21:49You still don't believe me?
21:52What can a man believe behind bars?
22:12It's open, Fay.
22:22It's open.
22:53Careful, Fay.
22:55Step down.
22:59Well, here we are.
23:03John.
23:05Just one thing.
23:09Why is it you never marked her arrest in place?
23:13I hoped that you might help with the inscription.
23:22I guess there ain't but one good enough for her.
23:27I am the rose of Sharon.
23:32The lily of the valley.
23:40Are you there, folks?
23:42Could you lend me a minute?
23:44I got a little song for you tonight.
23:47Now hear the blind man.
23:50I said to my kind old friend
23:52that his heart was a black-heeler monster.
23:55But that monster was in my own darkness.
24:01Eyes have seen the glory of the king of the lord
24:07He is trampling out the vage
24:10Where the grapes of wrath are stored
24:13He has missed the fateful lightning
24:16Of his terrible swift sword
24:18His truth is marching on
24:24Glory, glory, hallelujah
24:29Glory, glory, hallelujah
24:34Glory, glory, hallelujah
24:39His truth is marching on
24:48Glory, glory, hallelujah
24:53Glory, glory, hallelujah
24:58Glory, glory, hallelujah
25:03Glory, glory, hallelujah
25:08Glory, glory, hallelujah
