00:00How long you think this is gonna keep up for? Hard to tell, son. I've seen these storms bury everything that moves.
00:16Hey, don't start any bad habits. That ladder doesn't mean a thing. Just don't get kicked.
00:24Well, I know one thing. This cold sure works up an appetite.
00:28Well, let's you and I go get supper started.
00:53Hello, Mr. Scotty!
01:07Howdy, boy!
01:08Howdy, Scotty!
01:09Can't make it to North Fork tonight. Road's near closed with drifts. Animals about to give out.
01:16You wanna stay here, Scotty?
01:18Ain't got no choice. We're near froze to death. Just some place to keep warm and wait it out.
01:23Well, let's get him inside. Son, you build up the fire. I'll help out here.
01:27You bet, Pa.
01:28Thank you, Luke. All right, step lively, folks. We're staying here tonight.
01:34Howdy!
01:38Catch a wind like that all the way.
01:40Yeah, that's the one. That's the only one I want.
01:44You can leave that one. It's mine. I won't need it.
01:48Well, Gurley, looks like this is where we spend the night.
02:13The Rifleman!
02:42Starring Chuck Connors.
03:01Is hot coffee on the stove, folks?
03:02Excuse me, ma'am.
03:03Supper will be ready in about an hour. Hope you all like beef stew.
03:07It's very kind of you to put up with this, Mr. McCain, Lucas McCain.
03:11That's my boy, Mark.
03:13My name's Ryan. This is Miss Miller, I believe you said.
03:17Yes, Theresa Miller. I'd like to add my thanks. I hope it won't be too much trouble, Mr. McCain.
03:22Well, it'll be a little crowded, but I'm sure we'll make out.
03:25Mattford's my name. Vince Mattford.
03:27Hello, Mr. Mattford.
03:28A drink?
03:30No, thanks.
03:31I sell this stuff, and these samples sure come in mighty handy a day like this.
03:35I don't like to drink alone. What about you?
03:39Where you going?
03:41The driver might need some help.
03:47Mark, you better start peeling the vegetables, huh?
03:49Yes, Pa.
03:50Your bag, Miss Miller?
03:51Yes.
03:52I'll take it into the bedroom.
03:53Oh, please.
03:54You'll be more comfortable in there.
03:56Yeah, get comfortable, girlie.
03:58Storm like this, we're in for it.
04:03I'll do that, Vince.
04:08Mr. Mattford and I are old acquaintances.
04:19This is your room with your boy?
04:21That's right, ma'am.
04:22Well, he could stay here.
04:24I certainly wouldn't mind.
04:27We could hang a blanket or something.
04:29Thanks, ma'am.
04:30It would make things easier, considering the circumstances.
04:41He sure must have been cold.
04:45It's going to almost be like a hunting trip, sleeping in our bedrolls tonight.
04:51What's the matter with your bed?
04:55Oh, the portion.
04:56Don't get excited.
04:57We can hang a blanket between the beds.
04:59You'll have your privacy.
05:01Just a blanket?
05:07Son, this is no time to be wasting food.
05:09After you finish the vegetables, bring in some more firewood, huh?
05:28Mr. Ryan, I sure appreciate this help you're giving me.
05:35What's the matter?
05:36You all right?
05:37Yeah.
05:39Must be the cold.
05:41Just got a stitch in my side.
05:45Well, we might as well go on in the house.
05:47I can feed these animals after one of our own dinners.
05:51You go ahead.
05:52I'll be along.
05:56Well, here, toss it down.
05:57I'll carry it in for you.
05:59It's perfectly safe here, isn't it?
06:01Sure.
06:02Well.
06:13Can I help?
06:15You can hand me that salt.
06:32Where's Mrs. McCain?
06:35My wife passed away some time ago.
06:40Don't you find it hard living here like this?
06:43Raising a boy all alone?
06:46We manage.
06:47Careful, McCain.
06:49She's drawing a beat on you.
06:54Never did see a little test girl here when she didn't go for them tall ones.
06:58Wasn't there every time I seen her, and she...
07:00Mr. Medford, we're liable to be stuck here together for a few days.
07:04Why don't you make yourself useful like everybody else?
07:07That table needs setting.
07:10Mr. Medford?
07:14Why don't you set the table?
07:22What a night.
07:24Funny thing about Mr. Ryan, not wanting his luggage in the house.
07:28Home design out there in the barn.
07:30After he made sure I'd left.
07:36What's the matter?
07:37I interrupt something?
07:38Only the sensitivity of an unsensitive woman.
07:42You know, Vince, someday you're going to choke on that stuff,
07:44and then no one will have to listen to that nasty mouth of yours anymore.
07:48You see what I mean?
07:50I can remember a few years back when test girl here,
07:53all she had to do was flutter her eyelashes.
07:56Vince?
07:57Of course, things have changed.
07:59We're all the way up here from Yuma.
08:02Handsome guy like that Ryan wouldn't even give her a tumble.
08:05Medford?
08:06No, let him finish.
08:07How have you finished?
08:08If not, I'll say it for you.
08:10Five years ago, I came out here to get married, only I never did.
08:13My man was killed in a fight,
08:15and I was stranded in a place called La Paz, Arizona.
08:19You know what it's like for a girl to be stranded penniless in La Paz, Arizona?
08:24You do, don't you, Vince?
08:27That's where I met him.
08:28He took pity on me.
08:30He gave me money.
08:31Not enough of it to go home, just enough to keep me from going.
08:36Well, it's been five years.
08:38There have been other towns, other places.
08:43And I've saved enough money, and I'm going home.
08:47And wouldn't you know, we'd have to be on the same stage together.
08:51Pa!
08:52Pa, come quick!
08:53It's Mr. Ryan!
09:02He was just laying here like this.
09:04All right, let's get him inside.
09:07Close the door, son.
09:20Well, let's take him over here.
09:22What's the matter with him?
09:24Miss Millard, there's a bottle of brandy in the kitchen cupboard.
09:27Would you mind?
09:29Mr. Ryan!
09:30Come on, Mr. Ryan!
09:33Mr. Ryan!
09:35Mr. Ryan.
09:38Thank you.
09:39His name ain't Ryan.
09:41This says Christopher Rolfe.
09:43Christopher Rolfe?
09:46McCain, this man's a gunslinger.
09:48He's a killer.
09:50What do you want me to do, throw him back in the snow?
10:04Here, take some more of this.
10:06I'm all right.
10:07Oh, you must rest.
10:09What happened to you, anyhow?
10:12I must have slipped in the snow.
10:14I remember falling very hard.
10:18How long has it been?
10:19Oh, just a few minutes.
10:20The boy found you.
10:22Thanks.
10:24He should have left you there.
10:26The wallet fell out of your jacket.
10:29Here you are, Mr. Rolfe.
10:32I'm sorry.
10:34Sometimes my presence creates an undesirable atmosphere,
10:38through no fault of my own.
10:40Through no fault of your own.
10:42You're a killer.
10:43Eight men, maybe more.
10:46Age is an exact figure, Mr. Benford.
10:48Mr. Rolfe, this is my home.
10:51I want you to respect it.
10:54I have every right to respect it.
10:58I have every intention of doing so.
11:02It goes for you, too, Medford.
11:08Are you sure you're all right?
11:11Yes.
11:12Thank you.
11:14Lord, make us truly grateful for these, thy gifts.
11:18Bless this table, this house, and all the people in it.
11:24Amen.
11:29Sure be surprised that storm lets up tomorrow.
11:32Maybe I won't have to go to school.
11:34Maybe I won't have to go to school.
11:36Maybe I won't have to go to school.
11:38Maybe I won't have to go to school.
11:40Maybe I won't have to go to school.
11:42You've got your books here, son.
11:43You can study.
11:45Never neglect your lessons, boy, for any reason.
11:47Where'd you go to school?
11:49Don't pay any attention to him.
11:51He's drunk.
11:52Best way to be under the same roof with a murderer.
11:55That's enough, Medford.
11:57Don't get high and mighty with me, McCain.
12:00You heard what she said about herself.
12:03And you know what he is.
12:05Well, just take a good look at him.
12:08What's the matter, test girl?
12:11Couldn't score with McCain?
12:13So he's next in line.
12:15You...
12:16All right, now you listen to me.
12:18I didn't ask for you people to stop by here.
12:21Where you came from, what you are, is no concern of mine.
12:24But as long as you're in our house, eating our food,
12:27and accepting our hospitality,
12:30you're like my decent human beings.
12:32Or somebody may find himself walking to North Fork,
12:35and this isn't a very good night for walking.
12:38Do I make myself clear?
12:41Nobody says I got to eat with a killer.
12:51Where did you go to school, Mr. Rolfe?
12:54As a matter of fact, at one time I was a school teacher.
12:57Oh.
12:59Well, why did you quit?
13:03There was a useless gunfight in my town.
13:07A bullet killed my wife.
13:10Guns were my hobby. I collected them.
13:12I also knew how to use them.
13:15I went after that man to bring him back to trial.
13:18He tried to gun me. I was faster.
13:22He said he was good, that I'd outdrawn one of the best.
13:25So word got around.
13:27Others came laughing to try the school teacher.
13:32They still come.
13:34But I'm trapped.
13:37He's right. I am a killer.
13:41But not by choice.
13:43Mr. Rolfe, did you ever try backing down?
13:47If I had, I'd be dead.
13:49I wanted to live. I felt I had something worth giving.
13:52Knowledge to children.
13:54It's too late for that now.
13:57Why?
13:59You can't just give up.
14:01Everybody gets a second chance.
14:04A second chance would be impossible for me.
14:08Is somebody after you now?
14:11You could put it that way.
14:16Excuse me. I'd like some fresh air.
14:29Strange man.
14:32You know, I... I bet he was a good school teacher.
14:37Good.
14:59I still don't see why I can't sleep out there with you.
15:02Suppose the fellas at school hear about this.
15:05The fellas at school won't hear about it
15:06unless you tell them.
15:07Now, let's go to bed.
15:08Come on, Pa.
15:17Well, for a while I thought we were
15:22going to have to spend the night in a snowdrift.
15:24Instead, you have all the comforts of home.
15:28I said the wrong thing.
15:30Home.
15:31It's just home.
15:35I wonder if I'll ever have another home.
15:39Aren't you heading east?
15:40I mean...
15:41Yes.
15:42Yes, I'm going to St. Louis.
15:43That was my home.
15:46But after all these years out here,
15:49doing the way I have, I...
15:52I wonder if I'm fooling nobody but me.
15:56Perhaps you belong out here.
16:00I'd like to think that.
16:04If somebody wanted me...
16:08You see, we're much alike.
16:11I, too, have little purpose left.
16:17Good night.
16:24Nice try, girlie.
16:27Mark's in bed.
16:28I think it's safe now.
16:29Thank you, Mr. McCain.
16:30Good night.
16:31Good night.
16:56Good night.
17:27Listen, girlie.
17:28You know I always meant to do right by him.
17:30Couldn't do right by your own mother.
17:32Oh, now, don't be like that.
17:34I heard you talking to him.
17:36You know, you and me used to do all right because of two.
17:38You know that.
17:39What do you want?
17:40Him.
17:41The way he keeps going out of my mind.
17:43He left again just a few minutes ago
17:45after everybody was asleep.
17:47I don't know what you're talking about.
17:49I don't know what you're talking about.
17:51I don't know what you're talking about.
17:53I don't know what you're talking about.
17:56So?
17:57You know what I think?
17:58I think he's running.
18:00Aren't we all?
18:01Men like him can't work.
18:03Can't work is what they are.
18:05I say he's running.
18:06And I say he's got money hidden out in that bag of his
18:09to keep him going.
18:10You remember that stage hold up a couple of weeks
18:12ago outside of Yuma?
18:13Driver was killed.
18:14Ralph, he was in Yuma.
18:17Go on.
18:18There was Army payroll money on that stage.
18:20Now there's a reward.
18:22$5,000.
18:26You think Ralph did it?
18:27You're out of your mind.
18:28He had money.
18:29He wouldn't leave it out there.
18:30It'd be safer out here than in here with us.
18:32I say that's why he goes out and checks on it.
18:34To make sure it's there.
18:36You drink too much.
18:38Now, Tess.
18:39Listen to me.
18:41You watch him while I go out there.
18:43Just see if I'm right.
18:44If I find the money, we turn him in next town.
18:47If not, what do we lose?
18:50He wakes.
18:51Stall him.
18:52Keep him here.
18:53It won't take me long.
18:56That's little enough to ask.
18:58And just think what we could do with $5,000.
19:02$5,000.
19:04Just you and me.
19:10There's not enough money in this whole territory
19:12to make you respectable.
19:26I'm sorry.
19:27I'm sorry.
19:28I'm sorry.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:30I'm sorry.
19:31I'm sorry.
19:32I'm sorry.
19:33I'm sorry.
19:34I'm sorry.
19:35I'm sorry.
19:36I'm sorry.
19:37I'm sorry.
19:38I'm sorry.
19:39I'm sorry.
19:40I'm sorry.
19:41I'm sorry.
19:42I'm sorry.
19:43I'm sorry.
19:44I'm sorry.
19:45I'm sorry.
19:46I'm sorry.
19:47I'm sorry.
19:48I'm sorry.
19:49I'm sorry.
19:50I'm sorry.
19:51I'm sorry.
19:52I'm sorry.
19:53I'm sorry.
19:54I'm sorry.
19:55Oh.
20:25What is it?
20:27Oh.
20:29Please, leave me alone.
20:39Mr. McCain.
20:40What's the matter?
20:41The Rolf's outside.
20:42He needs help.
20:48What's the matter?
20:50I don't know.
20:51He's not here.
20:52He's not here.
20:53He's not here.
20:54What's the matter?
20:55It's nothing.
20:56Nothing.
20:57But you're ill.
20:59I just needed some fresh air.
21:00You all right now?
21:01Yeah.
21:02Where's Medford?
21:05In the barn, looking through your things.
21:07He's a fool.
21:17Get away from there.
21:20Yeah!
21:25Stay away from me, McCain, or I'll kill you.
21:28I've been waiting all my life for a chance like this.
21:31There's money in here.
21:33Money that was all stolen.
21:34There's a reward, a big reward.
21:37It is mine.
21:38You ain't gonna get any of it.
21:40Nobody is.
21:45Stay up.
21:46Stay away from me, Ralph.
21:50Stay away from me, Ralph.
22:02You haven't got enough liquor in that whole suitcase
22:04to give you the guts to kill me.
22:20There is nothing in this case but medicine.
22:26Six months ago, I was shot.
22:28A doctor removed the bullet, but something happened inside.
22:31It didn't heal.
22:33Since then, the pain has been getting worse.
22:36I was told I had three months to live.
22:38Oh.
22:39There's a surgeon in St. Louis.
22:41He says there's some hope, maybe just a little hope.
22:44There's a surgeon in St. Louis.
22:45He says there's some hope, maybe just a little hope.
23:15Stay clear like this, we'll make it easy.
23:17I guess I'd better ride up in the boot.
23:19Get in the coach, Vince.
23:23Why not?
23:24Go on, they mean it.
23:28Thank you.
23:29Good luck.
23:30You too, Mark.
23:31I hope everything turns out for you.
23:33It will.
23:35He said there was hope.
23:38I think that's all any of us need.
23:41Until last night, I felt safe behind my reputation.
23:43Didn't want anyone to see me in pain or taking medicine.
23:46But I guess it really doesn't matter now.
23:48You won't need your gun in St. Louis.
23:51Bye.
23:52Bye.
24:01Come on, move it.
24:03Whoa, Johnny.
24:12Boy, when will the kids at school hear that Chris
24:14Ross spent the night at our house?
24:16Oh?
24:17You going to tell them?
24:18Sure I am.
24:20About everything?
24:24Well, maybe I better not tell them about everything.
24:29Everything.
24:59I'm sorry.
25:00I'm sorry.
25:01I'm sorry.
25:02I'm sorry.
25:03I'm sorry.
25:04I'm sorry.
25:05I'm sorry.
25:06I'm sorry.
25:07I'm sorry.
25:08I'm sorry.
25:09I'm sorry.
25:10I'm sorry.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:12I'm sorry.
25:13I'm sorry.
25:14I'm sorry.
25:15I'm sorry.
25:16I'm sorry.
25:17I'm sorry.
25:18I'm sorry.
25:19I'm sorry.
25:20I'm sorry.
25:21I'm sorry.
25:22I'm sorry.
25:23I'm sorry.
25:24I'm sorry.
25:25I'm sorry.
25:26I'm sorry.

25:36I'm sorry.
25:37I'm sorry.
25:38I'm sorry.
25:39I'm sorry.
25:40I'm sorry.
25:41I'm sorry.
25:42I'm sorry.
25:43I'm sorry.
25:44I'm sorry.
25:45I'm sorry.
25:46I'm sorry.
25:47I'm sorry.
25:48I'm sorry.
25:49I'm sorry.
