00:00:00Here they come, and may they soon be gone, Matthew, Jubal, Luke, and Mark, and John.
00:00:29They are killers, every one, they are clouds across the sun, and soon may their day be done.
00:00:35And soon may their day be done.
00:00:38Live by the gun, then sure as the sunrise, die by the gun, you must.
00:00:43Just as the Hellions, one by one, died in the Transvaal dust.
00:00:48They died in the Transvaal dust.
00:00:51Took one man to drive them from our town.
00:00:55One brave man was enough to bring them down.
00:00:59From the father to the son, they were cowards, every one, be glad that their day is done.
00:01:06Be glad that their day is done.
00:01:09Live by the gun, then sure as the sunrise, die by the gun, you must.
00:01:14Just as the Hellions, one by one, died in the Transvaal dust.
00:01:19They died in the Transvaal dust.
00:01:21Live by the gun, then sure as the sunrise, die by the gun, you must.
00:01:29Just as the Hellions, one by one, died in the Transvaal dust.
00:01:37They died in the Transvaal dust.
00:01:51They died in the Transvaal dust.
00:02:22Don't move.
00:02:46Come on.
00:02:48Now!
00:02:49Come on!
00:02:52Come on, come on!
00:02:54Here we go.
00:02:56Come on.
00:02:57Here we go.
00:02:59Come on!
00:03:01Come on.
00:03:03Go!
00:03:05Go!
00:03:07Go!
00:03:09Now!
00:03:11Go!
00:03:13Go!
00:03:15Go!
00:03:17Now!
00:03:19Let's go!
00:03:21♪
00:03:28♪
00:03:35♪
00:03:42♪
00:03:49♪
00:03:56♪
00:04:03♪
00:04:10♪
00:04:17♪
00:04:26Where did she go, Doc?
00:04:28Well, she's still somewhere in Africa, Doc.
00:04:30I've never seen a horse run like that before, Doc.
00:04:33Well, you learned something.
00:04:34You wondered if she was gun-shy.
00:04:36Maybe he sent her home, Doc.
00:04:38Back to where he stole him from.
00:04:40Oh, that stallion had blood in him.
00:04:43I could have won races with him up in the diamond fields.
00:04:47Looks like you got yourself a non-starter.
00:04:53Looks like you got yourself a hiding tube on my back.
00:04:55Oh, leave him alone, Doc.
00:04:56He can't help it.
00:04:57You know he's always been crazy about guns.
00:04:59If I've told you once, told you a thousand times,
00:05:03you'd cut me, get a hold of the gun.
00:05:06Leave him, Doc.
00:05:14What are these days, Dad?
00:05:17No, you're not to shoot unless I tell you!
00:05:21You bear that in mind, all of you!
00:05:25Now I got a responsibility with you four.
00:05:28It's a promise to your mother you'll be brought up as men.
00:05:30You'll be brought up as men,
00:05:32you'll be ready to act on it when the time comes.
00:05:35Tell that to your mother.
00:05:36Go to her, don't tell your father.
00:05:38But you all get your point.
00:05:39If it was a promise to your mother, you'd be brought up as men.
00:05:42You'd be proud of not a gang of gun-happy children.
00:05:45Ma's dead, Doc.
00:05:48She's dead.
00:05:57Stop moaning, Jubal. I say you were lucky.
00:06:00If it was anybody else but you, he'd have maimed them for life.
00:06:02Look, I told him that stallion was bad luck.
00:06:05He should never have stolen it.
00:06:09What do you make of this stuff, eh?
00:06:37What do you make of it?
00:06:40As if there weren't enough thorns in Africa.
00:06:42Barbed wire, Doc.
00:06:44They say even lions are scared of it.
00:06:45I don't blame them.
00:06:46This stuff would rip the eye off an elephant.
00:06:48Look out, Barth.
00:06:49Look out, Barth.
00:06:50Stop it!
00:06:53Barth!
00:06:54Back there!
00:06:55Back up around.
00:06:58Look out, Barth.
00:06:59Hold him.
00:07:00Barth, Barth!
00:07:01Leave me the cutters, quickly!
00:07:03That here's a stallion, Doc.
00:07:06I'll try and hold him and you start cutting.
00:07:08Where?
00:07:09Anywhere.
00:07:11Hurry up.
00:07:12Easy, boy.
00:07:14Look at that foreleg.
00:07:20Give me my rifle.
00:07:22It's on the saddle.
00:07:43Well, Barth was no good anyway.
00:07:49Not now, he's not.
00:07:52Thanks to you.
00:08:02Good day.
00:08:04My name is Jan Pretorius.
00:08:09Was that your horse?
00:08:12Yeah, he was.
00:08:13He had bolted, hadn't he?
00:08:15All I know is he was a lovely horse.
00:08:17I expect he was.
00:08:21It wasn't my fault, you know.
00:08:25Where'd you get this?
00:08:27At the hardware store at Saunders Burst.
00:08:30Why'd you get it?
00:08:32Well, to keep the game off my crops and away from my streams.
00:08:35So fencing off water's no good enough for you.
00:08:36You've got to cut up a man's livestock as well, have you?
00:08:38Look, mister, I tried to head that horse off.
00:08:41Came running blind, heading straight for the fence.
00:08:43But something crazy he was.
00:08:52Easy now, that took a long time to put up.
00:09:01He was a lovely horse.
00:09:03I could have won a lot of money with him.
00:09:07I said not to do that, mister.
00:09:21Hey, that's my horse.
00:09:23Yes, I thought so.
00:09:25Should do me very nicely.
00:09:27Very nicely.
00:09:28I can't let you have this one.
00:09:30Look, if you want to go to law about it, there's a court at Barberton now.
00:09:35If I'm guilty, I'll pay.
00:09:37And there's a policeman now at Saunders Burst if you want to take it up with him.
00:09:42Yes.
00:09:44Sergeant Sam Hargis.
00:09:46A man who won't stand any nonsense.
00:09:50Sam Hargis.
00:09:53You remember him, da?
00:09:55He's the fellow who ran you out of the Cape all on his own, da.
00:09:57Shut up!
00:09:59Why don't you go and give him a hiding, da, like you gave me, huh?
00:10:01Why don't you?
00:10:03No, da, let's keep away.
00:10:04We've had enough trouble.
00:10:05Yes, da, let's keep away, da.
00:10:08We got enough trouble.
00:10:10John's right, you know, da.
00:10:12Not nice for boys to see their da humiliated.
00:10:15Not that humiliated, da.
00:10:21How far away is this town?
00:10:23I'm not taking that horse.
00:10:25It's my only saddle of horse and I can't ride the farm without him.
00:10:28No, Jan, let him go.
00:10:48I'm afraid your husband won't be riding for quite a while, Mr. Pretoris.
00:10:54I'll be all right.
00:10:56Just stop the bleeding and send word to Sergeant Hargis.
00:10:59Where's he, Connor?
00:11:01Here, hurry, hurry.
00:11:02Tell him the Hellions are here.
00:11:04Connor, go quickly to Saunders Post.
00:11:06Say the Hellions are here.
00:11:08Hurry, tell the policemen.
00:11:26You see, Mrs. Hargis, this new machine, it's quite simple.
00:11:43Mrs. Hargis, got a message for Buzz Hargis.
00:11:48He's not over at the police station.
00:11:49You'll find him at the railway halt.
00:11:51Yes, missy.
00:11:52Just a minute.
00:11:53You're one of Mr. Pretoris' boys, aren't you?
00:11:55Yes, missy.
00:11:57What happened?
00:11:58Trouble, big trouble.
00:12:01What is it?
00:12:02Master says tell Buzz Hargis, quick, quick, must go.
00:12:05And you can tell Buzz Hargis that I expect him back for his dinner sharp at one.
00:12:09Yes, missy.
00:12:11I wonder what Mr. Pretoris could want Sam for?
00:12:14Well, maybe he has a troop of baboons in his corn and he wants Sam to help shoot them.
00:12:19Then I've got the very thing they'll need.
00:12:21I've got a new kind of a gun.
00:12:22I'd like you to try it out, Mr. Dobbs.
00:12:24And you go out in the back and try it.
00:12:26And you be careful, Ernie Dobbs.
00:12:36Oh, pretty vicious stuff, this new fangled wire of your dad's.
00:12:40My dad says it's good and modern.
00:12:42It's time this town got new ideas.
00:12:45How many men were there?
00:12:46Five men, boss.
00:12:47Was one of them an old man with a beard and no hair for hair?
00:12:51Yes, boss, no hair.
00:12:53Luke Billings and his sons.
00:12:55Now, look, you go find Dr. Weiser pretty damn quick.
00:12:59Tell him to go straight to Master Pretorius' place.
00:13:01Yes, boss.
00:13:02Missy Hargis says I go home for dinner sharp one o'clock.
00:13:05All right.
00:13:06Now, listen, you tell her to stay there at home.
00:13:09She's not to go out anywhere, you understand?
00:13:11And don't forget Dr. Weiser.
00:13:13Yes, boss.
00:13:15Sam's in a bit of a tiff.
00:13:17I wonder why he wants Dr. Weiser.
00:13:19Maybe Mrs. Hargis is...
00:13:21Oh, no, she isn't.
00:13:22Why not?
00:13:23That's not till September.
00:13:25Oh, no, it's long before then.
00:13:27Oh, no.
00:13:29You seem to know a lot about babies for a nine-year-old.
00:13:32Of course, I asked.
00:13:34Who, Sergeant Hargis?
00:13:36Her husband.
00:13:37What's he got to do with it?
00:13:38Well, she...
00:13:40No, I asked Mrs. Hargis.
00:13:42I said, how's the baby coming along?
00:13:44She said she expected it to hatch out sometime in September.
00:13:48After all, she ought to know.
00:13:50She's doing it.
00:13:51Well...
00:13:54Come on, let's get this load off to your desk.
00:14:01I want to send an urgent message.
00:14:19Oh!
00:14:23Must keep this little meeting we're going to in the family.
00:14:26You don't want Sergeant Hargis calling in any visitors, do you?
00:14:29No, no.
00:14:35Blast!
00:14:36What's the trouble, sir?
00:14:37Something wrong.
00:14:38Look, the telegraph seems to be faulty.
00:14:39I've got to get through to the police at Harvard.
00:14:41I can't mess around here any longer.
00:14:42The line's dead.
00:14:43There's nothing wrong with this.
00:14:44Well, if the line's down, send him out to fix it.
00:14:46Get a horse from Malachi.
00:14:47It's very important.
00:14:49And when it's fixed, let me know.
00:15:02Won't be long, Joseph.
00:15:04I thought the sergeant said you were to go home and stay there.
00:15:07Why? What's the matter?
00:15:08I don't know.
00:15:09He sent for the doc, too.
00:15:11I suppose he thought you'd be better off at home.
00:15:13The way things are.
00:15:14You just do your supposing about other subjects, young man.
00:15:17Well, he said to send Mrs. Hargis straight home.
00:15:20So I thought perhaps you decided to go right ahead and have this.
00:15:23Billy!
00:15:26Where's Dad?
00:15:27He's out at the back with the traveller.
00:15:37Well, you see, no other gun has got these features.
00:15:40Nice and easy to load.
00:15:42And the fastest repeat on the market today.
00:15:46Now you try.
00:15:48No, nothing.
00:15:49You can't tell my dad much about guns, mister.
00:15:51He fought in the Zulu war.
00:15:53He's a crack shot.
00:15:54Show him, Dad.
00:15:55Go on, Dad. Bullseye.
00:15:57Go on, Mr. Dobbs. Have a try.
00:16:08Go on, Dad. Have another go.
00:16:10Just imagine it's a Zulu.
00:16:12Go on.
00:16:18Don't know where that one went, but you don't have to be a sharpshooter to sell them.
00:16:21All you have to remember is the reloading and the half-clocking action.
00:16:34Billy, go and put that milliner rope in the wagon and then we can drop it in the stables.
00:16:38All right, Dad.
00:16:40How do you like them?
00:16:42How can anything so pretty do so much harm?
00:16:44A fellow once asked me that about women.
00:16:58I wish it said official.
00:17:00Why? Authorized is just as good.
00:17:03Official sounds better.
00:17:08Oh, well, Mrs. Dobbs will sign the papers, thank you.
00:17:11Come on, you.
00:17:13Thank you, Mr. Dobbs. See you again next trip.
00:17:16Be back in an hour, Chris.
00:17:18Come on, Billy. We must keep Mr. Victoria's waiting.
00:17:21Dad!
00:17:28Now, what's the matter this time?
00:17:30I don't know. I keep on asking questions and everybody's shutting me up.
00:17:35Come on, get on.
00:17:42Come on.
00:17:54In conclusion, gentlemen, looking back at the past,
00:17:57I remember a handful of people with their wagons making an outspan on what was open felt.
00:18:03With no church, no roads, no hotels, no men.
00:18:09And no law.
00:18:11It fills me with pride to know that we have achieved so much
00:18:14and that now we can justly call ourselves a town.
00:18:21Sir, come in. We were expecting you to join our little celebration.
00:18:25I'm sorry to interrupt your celebration, Frank,
00:18:27but there's something I think you should know.
00:18:29The Hellions are on their way here.
00:18:31The Hellions? Who are they?
00:18:32I've heard of them.
00:18:33They're a bunch of thugs.
00:18:34Up in the diamond fields, they're known as the Four Evangelists.
00:18:37Pastor Luke, the father, Matthew, Mark, and John, the sons.
00:18:40He named one of them after a pagan, Jubal. He's the worst.
00:18:44But what can they do here?
00:18:45Who? I don't know what they'll do.
00:18:47They might be just riding through, stopping for a couple of drinks before they move on.
00:18:51Or they might settle down and make a night of it.
00:18:53That I will not allow.
00:18:54You may not be able to help it, Frank.
00:18:56But it doesn't make sense. Why are they coming here?
00:18:59They won't dare start anything here. They know we can get outside help.
00:19:02I shouldn't be too sure of that.
00:19:05The lines are down between here and Barberton.
00:19:07But is there no such thing as law and order in our town?
00:19:10I mean, I've a prayer meeting this evening.
00:19:12Then I should cancel it.
00:19:13I'm just telling you.
00:19:15You'd all be better to stay in your own homes tonight.
00:19:18And keep your families there.
00:19:25Anything can happen.
00:19:34Morning.
00:19:55Morning.
00:19:56I wonder if you can help me.
00:19:58How far have you come?
00:20:00Why are you in such a hurry?
00:20:02Something wrong, is there?
00:20:03There's a break in the line somewhere.
00:20:05Somewhere between Saunders Post and Barberton.
00:20:08I've got to find it and mend it.
00:20:10Oh, that's very serious, isn't it?
00:20:12Very serious indeed.
00:20:15Hey, you see a break in the line, Matthew. You see one.
00:20:19No.
00:20:20You see one, Johnny?
00:20:21No. Sure, I'd have seen one if there'd been one.
00:20:24You see one, Mark?
00:20:26I wasn't looking.
00:20:28Well, I'd still better have a look.
00:20:31It's orders, see?
00:20:33Well, you'd better go and have a look for yourself, hadn't you?
00:20:36I mean, it might be important.
00:20:38Especially if it is orders.
00:20:43By the way, whose orders?
00:20:46Sergeant Hargis. The police sergeant.
00:20:49Oh, well, you mustn't keep the sergeant waiting, must you?
00:21:01Oh, no.
00:21:24Sam, isn't that Mrs. Vittori?
00:21:27Yeah.
00:21:28That's odd.
00:21:36Good morning, Mrs. Vittori.
00:21:38We were just coming out to your place.
00:21:50Good heavens.
00:21:51Good heavens.
00:21:54Mrs. Vittori, has there been an accident?
00:22:01Billy, get back to our wagon.
00:22:05How did he do it?
00:22:09Thank God I met him on the way and managed to stop the bleeding.
00:22:12There's been a shooting.
00:22:13A shooting? Who's been shooting?
00:22:15Well, Martha didn't say much.
00:22:17But it sounds like it could be the work of the Hellions.
00:22:20The Hellions?
00:22:29Come on, Penny. Finish up your drink and get home.
00:22:31You, come on, boys. Home you go.
00:22:33Come on. Don't argue. Come on.
00:22:35Girls, come on. Upstairs.
00:22:37Come on. Don't argue.
00:22:39Upstairs. You too.
00:22:41Come on. Not you. Not you.
00:22:43Home you go.
00:22:44Right, boys. Finish your game. Off home.
00:22:46Come on. Home.
00:22:47Did you hear me, Bert? I said go home.
00:22:52Yes, sir.
00:22:56Mike.
00:22:58Put everything back.
00:22:59Frank, I want everything in here to look normal.
00:23:02If the Hellions want a drink, serve them.
00:23:04I won't have them in here by Christopher.
00:23:06I've a right to turn anybody down and I've had a belly full of drunks.
00:23:08Amen.
00:23:09Look, Sam. I've got a lot of valuable property here.
00:23:12What am I supposed to do?
00:23:14First of all, don't get yourself all worked up.
00:23:16It doesn't have to be any trouble.
00:23:17You can handle them. You'll take their guns, won't you, Sam?
00:23:19Damn right he will.
00:23:21And run them straight out of town.
00:23:23Sanders posts no mining camp. Not now, it isn't.
00:23:26Now, listen, Frank.
00:23:27You listen to me.
00:23:28We're a town now.
00:23:30And as a mayor, I'm expecting you to keep order.
00:23:32Any drunk who throws his weight about goes straight to jail.
00:23:35Luke Billings or anybody else.
00:23:37Now, have you got that, Sam?
00:23:39Aye. I've got it.
00:23:47That's telling him, Frank.
00:23:49Yeah.
00:24:06Julie.
00:24:09Julie?
00:24:11Why did you tell me to come home, Sam?
00:24:13Is there a cup of tea?
00:24:17Why did you?
00:24:18Oh, I was afraid you'd be spending the family fortunes on one of Ernie's newfangled toys.
00:24:23Silly.
00:24:29Sam, what's the trouble?
00:24:30The trouble is I'm thirsty.
00:24:32And what are we going to eat?
00:24:34Bacon and beans.
00:24:36Will it be long?
00:24:37Tell me.
00:24:38Tell you what?
00:24:40Sam, tell me.
00:24:42Well, if you want to know.
00:24:45Luke Billings and his sons are around.
00:24:47That's why I wanted you to stay at home.
00:24:49The Hellions?
00:24:50Aye.
00:24:54Oh, Sam, they're out for you, aren't they?
00:24:56Look, why don't you stay at home as well, just till they've gone?
00:25:01I'm not paid for staying at home, Julie.
00:25:03Well, you're not paid when you're dead.
00:25:05Well, I can't just chuck out my job.
00:25:08It's not such a bad idea, Sergeant Hargis.
00:25:14Julie, now calm down.
00:25:15You know you're not to go upsetting yourself.
00:25:17In four weeks' time, I'm going to have your child.
00:25:20Do you think I've forgotten that?
00:25:22If I live long enough.
00:25:27Have you forgotten?
00:25:29Sam.
00:25:32Have you forgotten what Dr. Weiser said after the last time?
00:25:36Now, Julie, I remember what Dr. Weiser said.
00:25:38You're not to get yourself worked up.
00:25:40It's dangerous for you.
00:25:41So, please.
00:25:42Sam, I'm just telling you.
00:25:45If you get killed, I won't want to live.
00:25:49Oh, Sam.
00:25:52Don't worry.
00:25:56I'm not going to get killed.
00:25:58And you're going to have our baby.
00:26:17Morning, Malachi.
00:26:18Morning, Ernie.
00:26:19Billy, just dump that rope on the ground there, will you?
00:26:22Malachi, who are they, Elliot?
00:26:26Of all things, on a beautiful morning like this, why bring them up?
00:26:31They just shot someone, you know.
00:26:33Young Pretorius back there.
00:26:35Don't tell me they're around here.
00:26:37No, I'm not telling you. I'm just asking.
00:26:40I won't hurt you.
00:26:42And me.
00:27:25Oh!
00:27:31Billy?
00:27:32What is it, son?
00:27:33What's the matter?
00:27:45Is this your wagon, old man?
00:27:47No, it's mine.
00:27:49Good morning.
00:27:50Oh, yes.
00:27:52Is your wire, too?
00:27:54Yes, but I sold it to Mr. Pretorius.
00:27:57Oh, yes, I know him very well.
00:27:59That's his horse.
00:28:01He loaned it to me because he won't be riding for a while or something.
00:28:04Or something.
00:28:08You sell quite a lot of this stuff to the farmers around here, I expect, don't you?
00:28:12My dad's an authorized agent.
00:28:14Oh.
00:28:16Good for you, Dad.
00:28:18Yes, well, I own the hardware store down the street.
00:28:21Of course, I only sell it to the small farmers.
00:28:23The boys aren't interested.
00:28:25Hey, wait a minute.
00:28:26I told you that was for a customer.
00:28:30I've got no use for this stuff, mister.
00:28:36And no use for them that sells it, neither.
00:28:40You do understand, don't you?
00:28:44Dad!
00:28:51Dad!
00:28:55Drop it, drop it, drop it!
00:28:57Why?
00:28:58Why should I?
00:28:59The hellions.
00:29:00There's always trouble when they're around.
00:29:02You'd better get home, quickly.
00:29:04But, Dad, why didn't you hit him?
00:29:06Quiet, Billy.
00:29:07Get in there.
00:29:11Get off, John.
00:29:12Get off.
00:29:14You give her a good rub down, old man.
00:29:16We're moving out in the morning.
00:29:18Over there.
00:29:22Drink?
00:29:24No, thank you.
00:29:25I'm an elder of the church.
00:29:27Oh, I see.
00:29:28You're an elder.
00:29:29Yes.
00:29:30Ah.
00:29:31And, uh, you don't drink?
00:29:33No.
00:29:34But you'll drink with me, won't you?
00:29:36If you don't mind.
00:29:37No.
00:29:38Go on, man.
00:29:39Have a drink.
00:29:40Drink!
00:29:43Bang!
00:29:44Bang!
00:29:45Bang!
00:29:51Bang!
00:29:52Bang!
00:30:09What was that?
00:30:10Go to the front window and keep watch.
00:30:23And, Billy, don't say anything to your ma.
00:30:40What would you do if you were me?
00:30:42Buff or green?
00:30:44Please advise me, Mrs. Dobbs.
00:30:46Well, what color's your carpet?
00:30:47Buff.
00:30:49What are you looking for, Ernie?
00:30:51Never mind, I found it.
00:30:52The green would catch the curtains, you know, but maybe the buff.
00:30:56Well, I think the buff would go very well with that chance.
00:30:59Priscilla.
00:31:00Just a minute.
00:31:01The danger is the curtains were just melting to the wall.
00:31:04Excuse me.
00:31:05Ernie, can't you see I'm busy?
00:31:07Take them both and bring back the one you don't want.
00:31:10But I must know the perfect color for a match.
00:31:13You can paint the walls purple for all I care.
00:31:15Take them both and go.
00:31:17Ernie.
00:31:18Mrs. Archer, I'm sorry.
00:31:20So am I.
00:31:22I always thought you were a fakedown redneck.
00:31:28Now tell me the truth, Ernie Dobbs.
00:31:30There were five men over at Malachi's.
00:31:32I've never seen them before.
00:31:34Drunk, waving guns, looking for trouble.
00:31:37One of them hit me with a length of wire.
00:31:48Mum!
00:31:50They're coming.
00:31:58Go inside to your father. I'll be back in a minute.
00:32:05Sam, some men, they've just slashed Ernie's face.
00:32:08They've what?
00:32:10That makes a second thing.
00:32:12They've just shot young Pretorius.
00:32:14Oh, no.
00:32:15Well, tell Ernie I'm very sorry, but you've no need to worry.
00:32:18They won't touch him again. It's not him they're after.
00:32:20What are we going to do?
00:32:21I'm going to arrest them.
00:32:22Oh, be careful.
00:32:23You've got Julie to thank.
00:32:24I'm doing that.
00:32:25Now you get back to your house and stay there till I get things under control.
00:32:29Would you like us to look after Julie's?
00:32:31She'll be all right now, please.
00:32:33Now, please.
00:32:45Hey, that's a real town-bred one for you, Jubal boy.
00:32:48None of your country up will dump me about that, eh?
00:32:50I haven't seen anything so lovely for years.
00:32:53You can rest easy in your minds about her.
00:32:55That kind's not suited for little boys.
00:33:04Right.
00:33:06Now let's find Argus.
00:33:33Argus.
00:34:03Where's his gun?
00:34:05What do you think he's playing at?
00:34:12It's been a long time, Sergeant Argus.
00:34:15Aye, quite a long time.
00:34:18I see you're not wearing a gun, Sergeant Argus.
00:34:22No, I'm not.
00:34:24Well, you're not wearing a gun, are you?
00:34:26No, I'm not.
00:34:27Well, you're not wearing a gun, are you?
00:34:29No, I'm not.
00:34:30Well, you're not wearing a gun, are you?
00:34:32No, there's not much use for them here.
00:34:35And I'd like you to hand yours over.
00:34:37This is a peaceful town.
00:34:38Town?
00:34:40This is a town?
00:34:41That's what he said.
00:34:42You heard him.
00:34:43Oh, it's a town, all right.
00:34:44Look, look, look at all the houses.
00:34:48May I ask for your guns?
00:34:50I haven't got a gun.
00:34:53Did you hear me, Billings?
00:34:56You're getting a bit too big for your britches, aren't you?
00:35:00I asked for your guns.
00:35:03Hey, darling, let's cut it short. I'm getting thirsty.
00:35:08No, we'll wait.
00:35:10I'm not going to make a hero out of the Sergeant.
00:35:13Not with the whole town looking on.
00:35:17It is me you came for, isn't it?
00:35:20Oh, yes.
00:35:21But that's not the way I want it.
00:35:23In case you don't know, I've just messed up a couple of your peaceful citizens.
00:35:27Now, when you come to charge me, I'll be at the hotel.
00:35:33But do bring your gun, won't you?
00:35:39I hate killing people in cold blood.
00:35:52Nice day.
00:36:08Go on, why don't you pick it up?
00:36:17I haven't got a gun, Hargis.
00:36:18I haven't got a gun, Hargis.
00:36:27Poor Sergeant Hargis.
00:36:30Never mind.
00:36:49Get in.
00:36:58He's coming here.
00:36:59What's he want?
00:37:00I don't know. Get in the back room.
00:37:19Open up or I'll break the door in.
00:37:22Come on, open it.
00:37:31A good looking woman come in here. Where is she?
00:37:33No, no. Not here. That must be next door.
00:37:38What kept you so long?
00:37:39I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I got new stock and I had to close off to unpack.
00:37:45Any barbed wire?
00:37:46No.
00:37:49You had enough, eh?
00:37:50I expect so.
00:37:52Let me see your sixes.
00:37:54Your what?
00:37:55Your six guns, man. You got a sign on the window.
00:38:00Show me the best you got.
00:38:02This is the only kind I've got. I don't know much about them.
00:38:06I've got some repeating rifles, but I've never stocked pistols before today.
00:38:11That's a new model. It's 5.62.
00:38:14That's a new model. It's 5.10.
00:38:17You load it differently.
00:38:19It works all right. We tried it out this morning.
00:38:23It breaks open, you know.
00:38:26Yeah, it breaks.
00:38:27Yes. Can I show you?
00:38:32This catch releases it.
00:38:34Well, it's supposed to.
00:38:37Oh, yes. I've got you. You have to cock it.
00:38:45Oh, Ernie!
00:38:50Oh, Ernie!
00:38:53It went off. I was showing him and it went off.
00:38:58What about the others? What about them?
00:39:00They went to the bar. I don't think they saw it.
00:39:04He's dead, all right.
00:39:06You can't do a thing for him.
00:39:09We'd better hide him. Let's put him behind the counter.
00:39:14Dad!
00:39:15Billy! Billy, go on and fetch Malachi. No one else. You hear me?
00:39:20They'll miss him. They'll come looking for him.
00:39:22Where did Sam go?
00:39:23I don't know. To the police station, I think.
00:39:25Well, you stay here. I'll go fetch Sam.
00:39:44Sam!
00:40:00Sam!
00:40:03Come on out, Sam!
00:40:15Hey, lady!
00:40:20Oh, I'm sorry. Was you Lottie? Lottie, where's Sam?
00:40:22He's in the diner. What's the matter?
00:40:24Something terrible's happened.
00:40:25But what is?
00:40:26Guess who? From out of the sky.
00:40:29This little man bothering you, lady?
00:40:31No.
00:40:32He's in the diner.
00:40:33What's the matter?
00:40:34Something terrible's happened.
00:40:35But what is?
00:40:36Guess who? From out of the sky.
00:40:39This little man bothering you, lady?
00:40:41No.
00:40:42This little man bothering you, lady?
00:40:43No. It's Mr. Dobbs. I know him.
00:40:45Oh, Mr. Dobbs. Yes, I know him too. Yes.
00:40:47How's the face, Mr. Dobbs?
00:40:50Answer me, Mr. Dobbs.
00:40:52It's better.
00:40:53And say thank you when you answer my kind inquiry.
00:40:57Hey, lady! Hey, lady!
00:40:59What's the hurry, lady?
00:41:01What's the hurry?
00:41:03Look, I've got an idea. Look.
00:41:06Let's...
00:41:08Let's all walk nice and friendly
00:41:10down to Mr. Dobbs' shop door, eh?
00:41:13What's the matter, Mr. Dobbs?
00:41:15Only want some bullets for my gun?
00:41:17You do stock bullets, don't you?
00:41:19Yes, I do.
00:41:21No, I don't.
00:41:22What do you mean, yes, you do, no, you don't?
00:41:24Look, Mr. Dobbs, do you stock bullets?
00:41:26Well, don't you stock bullets?
00:41:27I... I mean, I do stock bullets,
00:41:29but I don't stock your caliber.
00:41:31Look, how do you know my caliber, eh?
00:41:33Look, I think, uh...
00:41:35I think you're messing me about.
00:41:37No.
00:41:38You know what do with people who mess me about?
00:41:40No.
00:41:41I hurt them.
00:41:42Yeah, I hurt them.
00:41:44Hey, do you believe me?
00:41:45Yes, I do believe you.
00:41:46You do? Good, good.
00:41:47Do you believe me, lady?
00:41:48Yes, but please let me go.
00:41:50What about a kiss, lady?
00:41:52Please let me go.
00:41:54I've got to catch that train.
00:41:55Oh, got to catch a train.
00:41:56All right, pity, pity.
00:42:00Hey, what a pity your little friend had to, uh...
00:42:03had to catch a train, eh?
00:42:06Yeah.
00:42:07What's the matter with you?
00:42:08Hmm?
00:42:09I just remembered the...
00:42:10the train is coming in this, uh...
00:42:12afternoon with a new consignment.
00:42:13Oh, I see.
00:42:14Of bullets.
00:42:15I promise...
00:42:16Bullets?
00:42:17Yes, sir.
00:42:18I'll impact the bullets first thing
00:42:19if you promise to come back in half an hour.
00:42:20In half an hour?
00:42:21Uh, I promise.
00:42:22You promise?
00:42:23Right, now, look, Mr. Dobbs, look.
00:42:24Are you listening to me?
00:42:25I want you to listen to me.
00:42:26Yes, I'm listening.
00:42:27You are listening. Good.
00:42:28Because I have a habit of doing things suddenly, like...
00:42:30Oh, oh.
00:42:31See, I don't know why I wanted to hurt you.
00:42:33Now, uh...
00:42:35Mr. Dobbs,
00:42:37I have this very funny habit.
00:42:41I don't know why I wanted to break the shop window.
00:42:43So funny, isn't it, Mr. Dobbs?
00:42:47Laugh, Mr. Dobbs.
00:42:48It's funny.
00:42:49Laugh, man.
00:42:50Laugh.
00:42:51It's a big joke.
00:42:52Funny.
00:42:54I laugh.
00:42:57Hey, lady.
00:42:58Hey, lady.
00:42:59I want to chat, lady.
00:43:00Sam Hargis, as our policeman,
00:43:02it's your duty to deal with them no matter what.
00:43:04Arrest them, face up to them.
00:43:06Yes, sir.
00:43:07I did face them.
00:43:08Yeah, without a gun.
00:43:10Well, no good to you dead, that's for sure.
00:43:14There is one way that we could disarm them, get rid of this bunch.
00:43:17What's that?
00:43:18Harm.
00:43:19Yes, Sam, harm.
00:43:20Face them together.
00:43:22Armed.
00:43:24Mike,
00:43:25haven't I heard you say that you've got a gun?
00:43:28Yes, Sam.
00:43:29Right.
00:43:31But I've got a wife and four kids.
00:43:33You can't ask a married man to take a risk like that.
00:43:37I see your point.
00:43:38And how about you?
00:43:39You've got no family.
00:43:41The pastor's a man of God.
00:43:49You're a good shot.
00:43:50You're always boasting about the game you've shot.
00:43:53Shooting game is one thing.
00:43:54But these men are killers.
00:44:00What about you, doctor?
00:44:04The doc's out.
00:44:05He's the only medical man in the district.
00:44:08Aye, you've all got your excuses.
00:44:10Oh, and very good ones, too.
00:44:11Sam.
00:44:13Yes, Harry, what about you?
00:44:14You've got more guns than anyone in town.
00:44:17Yes, Sam.
00:44:19One of those men came to my shop.
00:44:21Which one?
00:44:23The skinny one.
00:44:24That'll be Mark.
00:44:25Did you sell him a gun?
00:44:27No.
00:44:30I shot him.
00:44:31No.
00:44:32Byron!
00:44:34Is he there?
00:44:35By Christ, they'll take the whole town apart.
00:44:37Where is he?
00:44:38In the store behind the counter.
00:44:41It was an accident.
00:44:43I was showing him a gun.
00:44:44It went off and killed him.
00:44:46Are you sure he's dead?
00:44:48You stupid fool!
00:44:49Now they'll start on all of us,
00:44:50rather than you staying Cape Town.
00:44:52Are they all four in there?
00:44:53Yes.
00:44:54Troopers must come in.
00:44:55When did this happen?
00:44:56About ten minutes ago.
00:44:58Now you've got to do something.
00:45:00The first thing is to get Aaron and his family out of here.
00:45:02They can't have missed Mark yet.
00:45:04Byron!
00:45:07We going to bed?
00:45:09Yeah, I hope so.
00:45:17Byron!
00:45:19They'll be out here on top of us in a minute.
00:45:21Frank, go in there and give them anything they want to keep them happy.
00:45:23Go on.
00:45:24Go on.
00:45:28I'm very sorry, sir.
00:45:29It's no good being sorry.
00:45:30All you can do is to get out.
00:45:31Take the train.
00:45:32No, I can't.
00:45:33You just want your wife and kids to see you die.
00:45:34For what?
00:45:35Get out of here, quick.
00:45:48Sorry, didn't mean to keep you waiting.
00:45:52Where's Mark?
00:45:54Isn't he here?
00:45:56I thought he was with you.
00:45:57No.
00:45:59I just got in.
00:46:02I've been having a little conversation with the local idiots.
00:46:05Male and female.
00:46:07You know, the little fellow.
00:46:08The little fellow who you gave a dose of the power of twine to.
00:46:11Oh, yeah.
00:46:12What do you mean?
00:46:13He didn't say anything bad.
00:46:14You should have seen me.
00:46:18Are you talking about your other son, Mark?
00:46:20I seem to remember him pass by here a while ago.
00:46:24Pass him where?
00:46:27Where?
00:46:28Well, that way.
00:46:30I'm not sure, but I think it was him.
00:46:32He seemed to be in a hurry.
00:46:34Why don't you go and look for him, sir?
00:46:38Keep an eye on him for me, will you?
00:46:54Oh.
00:47:10Shall we play for money?
00:47:24You see, Mark.
00:47:26Mark?
00:47:28Yeah, Mark, my son.
00:47:30I saw him come in.
00:47:31I was busy out back.
00:47:32I didn't see where he went.
00:47:33Upstairs, maybe.
00:47:39Upstairs.
00:47:42If he comes back, I'll tell him you were looking for him, Mr. Billy.
00:47:47I'll tell him.
00:47:48I'll tell him.
00:47:49I'll tell him.
00:47:50I'll tell him.
00:47:51Thank you, Mr. Billy.
00:47:53That'd be very nice of you.
00:48:22Mark's not there.
00:48:28Where's Matthew?
00:48:30Upstairs, looking for the girls, Dad.
00:48:32You know where he always makes for, Dad.
00:48:34I looked him over myself.
00:48:35Didn't fancy nothing.
00:48:37All a bit ribby, if you ask me.
00:48:40Oh, wasn't he a jewel?
00:48:42I said I looked him over myself.
00:48:44Didn't fancy nothing.
00:48:46There's no girls up there.
00:48:47There's nobody up there.
00:48:48Well, that's very understandable.
00:48:50When they hear you're riding in from town from the north, they all leave from the south.
00:48:53Very funny sight, they say.
00:48:55All right, come on.
00:48:56Have a look at yourself.
00:48:57Come on.
00:49:02Shut up!
00:49:19Who are you looking at?
00:49:21Give him two cards.
00:49:25I think I'd better be going.
00:49:27Funny thing, I just thought of the same thing.
00:49:29Now!
00:49:32We'll tell you when you can go.
00:49:34Come on.
00:49:47Huh?
00:49:49You lost?
00:49:51Well, you wouldn't let the cards on me, would you?
00:49:53Rick Card?
00:49:54What are you talking about?
00:49:55You shuffled them yourself.
00:49:56Well, I wouldn't check myself, would I?
00:49:59Well, who did it then?
00:50:02The leprechauns?
00:50:05You'd better try again, son.
00:50:13Marmots have done all right for themselves, eh?
00:50:17Bulk.
00:50:19Well, there's a hell of a lot of time up there.
00:50:24Up where?
00:50:26The hardware store.
00:50:30Oh, and do you remember the day?
00:50:32The one you said wasn't right for little boys.
00:50:34Well, he went there after to finish with Sam.
00:50:40Did he?
00:50:46Ernie, I've got 50 pounds in gold.
00:50:48That's all I can find.
00:50:49Thanks, Malachi.
00:50:51Malachi, you're a real friend.
00:50:53I...
00:50:54No time for talking now.
00:50:56Just take the money and get the train.
00:50:58And don't worry about nothing.
00:51:03You think it's right?
00:51:04Running away like this?
00:51:06It seems we left right and run back home.
00:51:09Even if you stayed, what could you do?
00:51:10Shoot it out with them?
00:51:12No, Sam's right.
00:51:13Nothing else but that train can save us.
00:51:17Pris.
00:51:18I'm sorry.
00:51:20I heard you.
00:51:21I'm sorry.
00:51:23I'm sorry.
00:51:24I'm sorry.
00:51:25I'm sorry.
00:51:27I'm sorry.
00:51:28I'm sorry.
00:51:29I'm sorry.
00:51:30I'm sorry.
00:51:32Let's not talk about it.
00:51:34Malachi said he'd sell everything.
00:51:36Sell us the money.
00:51:38We'll find another town.
00:51:39Start all over.
00:51:41You'd want to do that?
00:51:43Start all over again with a man who...
00:51:46turns tail and runs when he knows he should stay?
00:51:50What else is there to do?
00:51:56Where's Billy?
00:51:57Billy?
00:51:59He went to meet Malachi.
00:52:00Well, I'll go and find him.
00:52:06Billy?
00:52:10Billy!
00:52:30Billy!
00:53:01I'm sorry, my dear.
00:53:02I didn't mean to frighten you.
00:53:05I dropped some money.
00:53:08I'll help you.
00:53:10No.
00:53:12I have it.
00:53:13Thanks all the same.
00:53:19I thought perhaps Mark was here.
00:53:21Mark?
00:53:23Yeah, he's one of my sons.
00:53:26Came in here a while ago.
00:53:28You haven't got him hidden away, have you?
00:53:31Eh?
00:53:32Not a bad-looking lad.
00:53:35Oh, you mean the man who came in about a revolver?
00:53:40Could be, yes.
00:53:41Well, it was my husband spoke to him.
00:53:44They went off somewhere.
00:53:46Together.
00:53:50Oh.
00:53:52I see.
00:53:53Together.
00:53:57Oh, um...
00:54:06You can go and wait here if you don't mind.
00:54:12The rest of the boys are getting a bit anxious about him, you know.
00:54:24Mind if I have a look around?
00:54:48I'll find something to bark at.
00:54:51I'll find something to buy.
00:55:02Oh?
00:55:04You're a bit jumpy, my dear, aren't you?
00:55:07Eh?
00:55:08No need to be.
00:55:10It's a long time since I've talked to a pretty lady.
00:55:14You've got no need to be frightened of me, you know.
00:55:21Oh!
00:55:28Funny about Mark, isn't it?
00:55:33You sure you haven't got him hidden somewhere?
00:55:36Eh?
00:55:38Eh?
00:55:50Your husband's a little runt with the barbed wire, isn't he?
00:55:53He sells barbed wire.
00:55:54Yeah.
00:55:56I'm sorry about that slasher I gave him, but him and his barbed wire lost a lovely horse for me.
00:56:00You do understand, don't you?
00:56:05What a pretty blouse you've got on.
00:56:08You know, that really is, that's a very pretty blouse.
00:56:12My wife used to like pretty clothes, because she's dead now, God rest her soul.
00:56:17I've noticed how pretty you was this morning when you ran across the street.
00:56:22I was frightened.
00:56:24Well, there's no need to be.
00:56:27What's your name, sweetheart?
00:56:29Priscilla.
00:56:30That's a very pretty name.
00:56:33You're not an upcountry woman, are you?
00:56:35No.
00:56:36I'm from the Cape.
00:56:38Must get very dull for you here sometimes.
00:56:41Say, that husband of yours is not much fun, neither, is he?
00:56:43Come on, give us a kiss.
00:56:45Come on.
00:56:46Come on.
00:57:13Come on.
00:57:22See you later.
00:57:38Thou shalt not cheat at cards.
00:57:43Ha ha ha.
00:57:59What's the matter, cheat?
00:58:00Hmm?
00:58:01Let's have a little conversation, cheat.
00:58:03That's right, come down here, cheat.
00:58:04Come down here, cheat.
00:58:05Come on, come on.
00:58:09Are you frightened now, you cheat?
00:58:10Hmm?
00:58:12Come on, cheat.
00:58:13Let's have a little conversation, cheat.
00:58:14Come on.
00:58:15Come on, come on.
00:58:16Come on, cheat.
00:58:17Ha ha ha.
00:58:21What's the matter, lad, eh?
00:58:22Hmm?
00:58:27Hey, that's lovely footwork, cheat.
00:58:28You're very funny, cheat.
00:58:30Come on.
00:58:31Come here to me.
00:58:32Come on, lad.
00:58:33I'm not going to hurt you.
00:58:36Come to Uncle Jubal, cheat.
00:58:38I'm not going to hurt you, boy.
00:58:39Come on.
00:58:40Come to Uncle Jubal.
00:58:42Come on.
00:58:44Come on.
00:58:45Ha ha ha.
00:58:48You're trembling, boy.
00:58:50Think you need a drink?
00:58:52Wait there.
00:58:54Ha ha ha.
00:58:56Keep it up, boy.
00:59:03Ha ha ha.
00:59:10Ha ha ha.
00:59:12I'm sorry.
00:59:14It's only a joke.
00:59:16Ha ha ha.
00:59:18You might have got your head cut.
00:59:20I think you need to sit down, boy.
00:59:22I think you need to sit down.
00:59:24Sit down.
00:59:25Sit on this chair.
00:59:26Ha ha ha.
00:59:29Good boy.
00:59:30Sit down there.
00:59:31Hey.
00:59:32Harry.
00:59:33Ha ha ha.
00:59:39Ha ha ha.
00:59:42Ha ha ha.
00:59:44Ha ha ha.
00:59:45Pretty good shot, eh, Matt?
00:59:47Right through the middle, eh, boy?
00:59:49Ha ha ha.
00:59:50Look at him down there, eh?
00:59:52Ha ha ha.
00:59:53Geez.
00:59:54What a mess we make of cheats, eh?
00:59:56Ha ha ha.
00:59:57Ha ha ha.
01:00:04Get the chips, eh, boy?
01:00:05Ha ha ha.
01:00:06Chips.
01:00:08Boy!
01:00:09Ha ha ha.
01:00:10Boy!
01:00:11Ha ha ha.
01:00:13I'm catching in, boy.
01:00:14Twenty-five pounds, boy.
01:00:18What's the matter, boy?
01:00:20Don't you trust me?
01:00:21Ha ha ha.
01:00:28Ha ha ha.
01:00:30Well.
01:00:32Um.
01:00:34Do you, um,
01:00:35do you have an undertaker around here?
01:00:37Hmm?
01:00:38Here we.
01:00:39We've got one for Barberton.
01:00:40Oh, boy.
01:00:42Bury the cheat.
01:00:44Nice fella.
01:00:45But stupid, eh?
01:00:46Ha ha.
01:00:47Dead stupid.
01:00:48Ha ha ha.
01:00:49Ha ha ha.
01:00:50Ha ha ha.
01:00:51Ha ha ha.
01:00:52Ha ha ha.
01:00:59Don't get yourself killed doing that one day, da.
01:01:02What have you been up to, boy?
01:01:05Eh?
01:01:09You raked the cards on me three times, da.
01:01:12I finally ran out of patience.
01:01:14Oh.
01:01:17You ran out of patience, did you?
01:01:19Yes, sir.
01:01:20You mustn't forget what we come here for.
01:01:22We don't want the whole town on our necks, do we?
01:01:24No, sir.
01:01:25No, da. Look at me.
01:01:27See, you must learn to think.
01:01:30Sorry, da.
01:01:33One of these days, you might have to be sorry.
01:01:35Did you find Mark, da?
01:01:37He's gone off with the hardware, fella.
01:01:39Buying you gun or something, I don't know.
01:01:41Just in case.
01:01:42Hang on, hang on.
01:01:51Phew.
01:01:55What am I going to do with you?
01:01:57Eh?
01:02:04What were those shots?
01:02:06Hurt.
01:02:07Did they kill him?
01:02:10Something's got to be done.
01:02:16It started all right. They got Bert and now it's getting wilder.
01:02:19It's just a question of who's next.
01:02:21Joseph, has Billy come back yet?
01:02:23He passed with Boss Malachai five minutes ago, lass.
01:02:31I know who ought to be next.
01:02:35Come on, Billy. We're leaving.
01:02:39What the devil does Sam Hargis think he's doing?
01:02:43What is Sam Hargis doing?
01:02:44What are you doing?
01:02:45If we'd listened to Sam before and banded together, but oh no, you all had your excuses.
01:02:50Why don't you mind your own business and get back to where you came from?
01:02:54Go on, dad.
01:02:56Look, why don't we do it now?
01:02:58It's not too late.
01:02:59I've got a store full of guns.
01:03:01And who's going to lead us?
01:03:03You?
01:03:04Look, let me get Sam.
01:03:06I'm sure he'll still lead us.
01:03:08Things have gone too far.
01:03:10Far too far.
01:03:11Far too far.
01:03:12Two hours ago you were all sitting around a table celebrating the birth of a new town.
01:03:17Looks like it was stillborn.
01:03:19What you want is a hero.
01:03:20Well, I'm not going to be one.
01:03:21Neither is Sam Hargis.
01:03:23And I'll tell you this.
01:03:25This town doesn't deserve a hero.
01:03:27Alive or dead.
01:03:38It's no use.
01:03:42It's a mistake!
01:03:45Watch out!
01:04:05I hate going to prison.
01:04:08I wish I was big enough.
01:04:10What's that, Billy?
01:04:11I wish I was big.
01:04:14You'll grow, son.
01:04:22Get up.
01:04:23Get up, now.
01:04:24Come on.
01:04:38Early.
01:04:54Are they gone?
01:04:56Yes, they're gone.
01:04:59Be careful.
01:05:07I'll pay you later.
01:05:08If there is a later.
01:05:10Help yourself.
01:05:12Bert's dead, you know.
01:05:14What?
01:05:15Jubal shot him half an hour ago in the saloon.
01:05:17Have a little bit more, dear Wallis.
01:05:19You'll be next, Sam.
01:05:21Aye, where do you think I'm taking these?
01:05:23I'm barricading my house.
01:05:24That way I reckon I have a chance of standing up to them.
01:05:26At least I'll get some of them before they get me.
01:05:29I can do no more for the town.
01:05:38Julie.
01:05:39They won't do a thing, Julie.
01:05:40They won't back me up.
01:05:42Not one of them.
01:05:47If I thought I could do any good by shooting it out with them in the street, I'd do it.
01:05:50Without even thinking of us.
01:05:52If I thought I could help them, let alone you.
01:05:55But it isn't like that.
01:05:56It will do no damn good at all.
01:05:58What are you going to do?
01:06:00If we can get that telegraph line fixed, we might get help in time.
01:06:03But it's a slim chance.
01:06:10And if they don't?
01:06:12Then what are we going to do?
01:06:13Nothing.
01:06:15You wait till they get the telegraph line fixed.
01:06:17We'll ring and tell them we're trying to get help in time.
01:06:20Sam, will you work on that telegraph line?
01:06:22And if they don't?
01:06:27I'm staying here with you, Julie.
01:06:29I'm barricading us in.
01:06:33Then I have a chance when they come up the stairs.
01:06:36At least I can get one or two of them before they get me.
01:06:44Better anyway than shooting it out in the street.
01:06:46I tell you, Julie, that makes some kind of sense.
01:06:49Sam, you're not doing all this for me.
01:06:52I want it that way. It's safe for the town and the people as well as for you.
01:06:56Perhaps they'll go if you keep away.
01:06:59No such luck. Something else has happened.
01:07:01One of them's been killed. When they find that out, all hell will be let loose.
01:07:04Who killed him?
01:07:05Ernie.
01:07:07Ernie Dobbs?
01:07:08It was an accident.
01:07:11Then I'll be out to get both of you.
01:07:13Ernie will be all right. He's on his way out of town with Pris and the boy.
01:07:17Then you're all on your own.
01:07:20Oh, Julie.
01:07:24If only I had just one man with me.
01:07:26One man.
01:07:28What are we waiting for, Dad?
01:07:32Can I tell you?
01:07:34Now what do you expect Sam Hargis to do? Walk over here and ask to be shot?
01:07:39There he is.
01:07:42Just sitting in his bedroom.
01:07:45Great piece of furniture blocking his window.
01:07:51See if that's going to help him.
01:07:53Maybe he's waiting for help.
01:07:55Yeah.
01:07:57I'm waiting for Mark.
01:07:59I want all my sons to be with me.
01:08:01You're leaving it too late, Dad.
01:08:03You're risking it. We don't have to wait for Mark.
01:08:07You know it's no use arguing with Dad. We must always leave it to Dad.
01:08:10Hey, hey.
01:08:13Have I ever let my boys down?
01:08:16No. We're the boys to be proud of.
01:08:21We're the boys to be proud of.
01:08:23Well, come on. We'll buy the old man a drink, eh?
01:08:25That'd be very nice. That would be very nice.
01:08:50Come on, Billy.
01:08:57Longley.
01:08:59Give this to the chief of police at Barberton.
01:09:02Sam needs help as fast as they can send it.
01:09:04Our telegraphist is still out trying to find the break in the wire.
01:09:07I'll do my best.
01:09:09I hope they get here in time to hang the old man.
01:09:12I hope they get here in time to hang the old man.
01:09:15I hope they get here in time to hang the old man.
01:09:18I hope they get here in time to hang the whole lot of them.
01:09:22Mr. Dobbs. Heard you had to get out, so I got your tickets.
01:09:2550 miles down the line. Far enough to think I got you singles.
01:09:29Don't expect you'll want to come back after all the trouble, is he?
01:09:32No, I don't suppose we should be back.
01:09:34Well, come on. Get aboard. If they catch up with you here, they may start to break up my station.
01:09:38Perhaps the last thing I want to happen.
01:09:49I don't want to go.
01:09:51Now, Billy, stop whining. You like train rides.
01:09:53I hate him.
01:09:55Hmm?
01:09:56I hate him.
01:09:58Who do you hate, Billy?
01:09:59The man that was kissing Mummy.
01:10:01What are you talking about? Who was kissing you?
01:10:04I was going to tell you, Ernie.
01:10:05You mean someone was kissing you? Who?
01:10:09It was a man.
01:10:11A man?
01:10:13Yes, a man.
01:10:15Who?
01:10:17Luke Billings.
01:10:21It was awful, Ernie. He came into the shop when you weren't there.
01:10:24I had to do something.
01:10:26Oh, please try to understand, Ernie. I...
01:10:28I had to stop him finding the body. He nearly stepped on it.
01:10:32Well, it was the only thing I could do.
01:10:35I threw myself into his arms.
01:10:38That dagger that hit his arms around you?
01:10:42Kissed you?
01:10:43Yes.
01:10:45No.
01:10:47No, Tris, not you.
01:10:49Ernie! Ernie!
01:10:57Hello, Mr. Dobbs.
01:11:02Mr. Dobbs!
01:11:15Ernie!
01:11:23Mr. Dobbs! Ernie!
01:11:27Dobbs!
01:11:29Stop the train!
01:11:45The silly fool.
01:12:16I saw you come back. Have you gone crazy?
01:12:19No. And I'm not asking your advice.
01:12:22Well, you're going to get it anyways. Now, you listen to me, young fellow.
01:12:25You're going to get killed. As sure as you're standing there, you're going to get killed.
01:12:29Maybe.
01:12:31Malachi, why don't you go home? Just go home and leave me alone.
01:12:35Oh.
01:12:38Why don't you just tell me? What made you change your mind?
01:12:42There comes a time when a man's got to stand his ground.
01:12:46When Billy told me about...
01:12:49Hey, Malachi.
01:12:51Yes, what is it?
01:12:53How do you load this damn thing?
01:12:55Give it to me.
01:12:57Oh, you don't even know the right size to use.
01:13:00I don't know.
01:13:02I don't know.
01:13:04Oh, you don't even know the right size to use.
01:13:13How many does it hold?
01:13:15It holds four, but don't let that worry you.
01:13:17You'll never get beyond the first one.
01:13:20There's your gun.
01:13:24Ernie, I wish I could...
01:13:26That's all right. That's all right.
01:13:28Thank you for coming, Malachi.
01:13:31Good luck.
01:13:42Jargon after Sam, yeah?
01:13:44Jar's leaving it too late.
01:13:46Jar's leaving it too late?
01:13:53You, John the Beloved,
01:13:55you think you know better than Jar?
01:13:58Yeah, maybe I do.
01:14:00Ever since we were kids,
01:14:02we've been trailing behind him like a flock of sheep.
01:14:04Yes, dar this. No, dar that.
01:14:06We didn't even dare say a word
01:14:08unless we wanted a good hiding.
01:14:10We got him.
01:14:12Yeah, well, I don't like it.
01:14:16He's too quiet.
01:14:19What's he waiting for, anyway?
01:14:21Jewel, you go ask him.
01:14:24Sure, I'll ask him.
01:14:28Hey, Jar.
01:14:32I want to ask you a little question.
01:14:34Hey, dar, look. Look here.
01:14:36What is it?
01:14:41What?
01:14:44What is it?
01:14:54Oh.
01:14:57Oh.
01:15:00Oh, wait. Come here.
01:15:03It's August, everyone.
01:15:05That's a mouse to catch the cat.
01:15:07We'll wait, you see.
01:15:28What is it, Sam? Are they coming?
01:15:30Look out the window.
01:15:36Sam, it darts.
01:15:38It can't stand up to them alone.
01:15:41No, Julie.
01:15:43That's all you wanted, isn't it, Sam?
01:15:45Just one man.
01:15:47Yeah, and now it's Ernie, of all people.
01:15:51Sam.
01:15:53God bless you.
01:16:02Luke.
01:16:04Luke Billings.
01:16:06All right.
01:16:08All right.
01:16:23Luke Billings.
01:16:25Hey, what's a little man playing at, eh?
01:16:34Billings.
01:16:53Billings.
01:17:10If you want your son,
01:17:12he's back there in my store.
01:17:18Don't be a fool. Get behind cover.
01:17:20Oh.
01:17:23But they were just coming...
01:17:25But he was just coming into range.
01:17:27I could have...
01:17:29You couldn't hit the side of a barn.
01:17:33Just stay where you are.
01:17:35But don't shoot.
01:17:40I think we'll have him now.
01:17:42Now?
01:17:44Yeah, now.
01:17:46Just let me have one shot.
01:17:48Just one shot at that.
01:17:50Wait.
01:17:52Target!
01:17:54Come on, Sam.
01:17:56Won't hurt. Won't take a minute, Sam.
01:17:58Come on out.
01:18:00Stop hiding behind the little man.
01:18:09There's a squirrel gun back in the vestry.
01:18:12Put that Bible away and get it.
01:18:22Bring your little friend down, too.
01:18:24Luke.
01:18:26Look behind you.
01:18:28Hargis, stop playing games!
01:18:31Stop!
01:18:53What you gonna do now, doll?
01:19:12You see?
01:19:16You see, we only come for bark.
01:19:18Didn't we?
01:19:23He's in there.
01:19:25Oh.
01:19:27What?
01:19:29Oh, certainly.
01:19:31Keep an eye on him, Ernie.
01:19:37Mark!
01:19:39Mark!
01:19:52Mark.
01:19:57Mark.
01:19:59There he is.
01:20:09There he is.
01:20:31Mark.
01:20:33Mark.
01:20:39Mark.
01:21:01Help me.
01:21:03Help me.
01:21:10You did this?
01:21:12Not you.
01:21:14Not a little man.
01:21:16Not you.
01:21:21Captain Rock!
01:21:39Help me.
01:22:09Luke!
01:22:13Now, Jubal!
01:22:39Help me.
01:23:09Help me.
01:23:39Help me.
01:24:00Sam! Sam!
01:24:09Sam!
01:24:39Sam!
01:25:03To think we were scared of them.
01:25:06Just four frightened men.
01:25:09They were killers, every one.
01:25:11They were clouds across the sun.
01:25:13Be glad that they're dead and gone.
01:25:16Be glad that they're dead and gone.
01:25:19Live by the gum and sure as the sunrise, die by the gun, you must.
01:25:24Just as the Hellions, one by one, died in the Transvaal dust.
01:25:29They died in the Transvaal dust.
01:25:32Took one man to drive them from our town.
01:25:37One brave man was enough to bring them down.
01:25:41From the father to the son, they were cowards, every one.
01:25:45Be glad that their day is done.
01:25:48Be glad that their day is done.
01:25:51Live by the gum and sure as the sunrise, die by the gun, you must.
