00:30Hello! Hello, the house!
00:42Suppose they're up yet, Paul?
00:50Well, let's go find out.
00:53Somebody home!
01:03After the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country,
01:11and there wasted his substance by living riotously.
01:23What was that word you just read?
01:25Living riotously.
01:27That's riotously.
01:28What does that mean, Grandpa?
01:30Well, that means...
01:32Well, it's just one of them fancy words. Never mind.
01:37And joined himself to one of the citizens of that country,
01:43and he sent him into his field to eat sweets.
01:50That's swine, like sunshine there, pig.
01:53Oh, swine.
02:05The Rifleman
02:13Starring Chuck Connors
02:20And he would think, have filled his belly with...
02:24Excuse me a minute, Woody.
02:25Oh, Luke, come on in.
02:26Hi, Mark. You're good.
02:28Hope I'm not interrupting.
02:29No, it's recess time anyway. I was just teaching Woody a new word.
02:32He said the word swine.
02:34That was a nice word for a pig, and they started calling human beings swine.
02:38Then it ruined the word as far as that decent pig was concerned.
02:43Hope, I bet you came to get your rihanna.
02:45I ain't got it finished yet. Get me that rihanna, Woody.
02:48It's an honor, Mr. Fogarty. I can wait.
02:51How'd you learn to make it, Mr. Fogarty?
02:53I learned that when I was guiding General Fremont up in Idaho.
02:57What happened, Grandpa?
02:58What happened?
03:00Well, see, it was a mighty drowsy trip across this desert.
03:06We had to fight them Oglala and Sioux war parties day after day.
03:10It was terrible.
03:13And then we come to this real deep canyon.
03:16We had to get across or die.
03:19We didn't have any way to get across except we'd save back a few green hides.
03:25And when it comes to learning to raid rawhide or lose your scalp,
03:29a man learns to raid rawhide pretty fast, and he never forgets it either.
03:33You get over all right?
03:35A little hearing, eh? Still got my hair, too.
03:40Mr. Fogarty, we're going into town later. Can we pick up any supplies for you?
03:44No, thanks. Home-owned supplies. Always have and always will.
03:48All right. Maybe we'll see you later.
03:51I'll try and have your rihanna ready.
04:00Hey, Pa, according to my history book, General Fremont was never even in Idaho.
04:05Mark, a man as old as Grandpa Fogarty, you know, who's pioneered the country so much,
04:09he tells a tall tale once in a while.
04:11Chances are he's done a lot of brave things he isn't even telling about.
04:14Suppose that's why they keep on moving around so much?
04:17How do you mean?
04:19Well, Woody says that they hardly ever live in one place more than a few months.
04:22Mark, we get along fine with them, just minding our own business.
04:25Let's keep it that way, huh?
04:27All right.
04:53Good morning.
04:57Good morning.
05:08Bet you'd be a good pal out on that shop line.
05:17Are you all right?
05:19Of course I'm all right. Woody, come on in here with me.
05:21We've got to get you a new pair of breeches.
05:23Throw you in the rag bag first thing you know. Come on.
05:26What can I do for you, Mr. Fogarty?
05:28A pair of breeches for the boys.
05:30We don't see enough of you, Woody.
05:39When do you start school?
05:41Oh, I'm not going to school, Miss Millie.
05:43I keep pretty busy out at the place.
05:46Well, a new pair of trousers for school, huh, Woody?
05:49Mr. McCain, I mind my own business.
05:51Expect my neighbors to do the same.
05:53Simmer down, Mr. Fogarty. School is everybody's business.
05:56How much do I owe you, girl?
05:58That'll be 75 cents. Shall I put it on account?
06:00You don't derail me in no charge account.
06:02If I can't pay for it, I don't buy it.
06:04Mind my own business, go as I please,
06:06and expect my neighbors to do the same.
06:08Come on, Woody.
06:12That old bronco's four square and hard as bedrock.
06:16Just imagine.
06:18That poor little fellow,
06:20never knowing a mother's hand to tuck him in at night,
06:22saying to his prayers,
06:24I hope you know how fortunate you are, Mark,
06:27to have a proper education.
06:29Yes, ma'am.
06:31Poor little Woody,
06:33completely ignorant of the finer things in life.
06:35But he sure can read.
06:37Why, you should have heard him read
06:39to his pig in the kitchen this morning.
06:41His pig?
06:43In the kitchen?
06:45Yes, ma'am. She's smart, that pig.
06:48A pig in the house?
06:50Yeah.
06:54Woody's real smart for his age, though.
06:57As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.
07:01I'd better go pick up the mail.
07:03Excuse me, ma'am.
07:05See you later, son.
07:07Lucas, I have to talk to you
07:09as a responsible member of this community.
07:11How can we permit that child to be raised in a pigsty?
07:14Wait a minute, Mrs. Dalrymple.
07:16I can see that Woody is a fine boy.
07:18But he's filthy.
07:20Probably doesn't eat right.
07:22And he has been missing school.
07:24Now, look, they haven't had a chance to settle down yet.
07:26Lucas, you're head of the town council.
07:28I know I'm head of the...
07:30Look, we all have to do our best to help that child.
07:32Lucas, you as a father should be the first one to realize that.
07:34Mrs. Dal...
07:36Marshal Torns.
07:38Marshal, something has to be done
07:40about that poor little fogarty youngster.
07:43I don't know. He seems like a normal boy to me.
07:45He seems dirty, hungry, and curious.
07:47Before that boy is absolutely ruined,
07:49he must be placed in a proper foster home.
07:52Grandpa wants to be left alone. I know.
07:55Then he must be made to understand.
07:57It's for the boy's own good.
07:59Maybe just until he gets his place fixed up and livable.
08:02Mrs. Dalrymple, you don't know Mr. Fogarty.
08:05You better let him figure this out by himself.
08:07Lucas, now is your chance to help another boy.
08:11Just as you would want Mark helped if he were in need.
08:14Grandpa Fogarty is not too far out from the time
08:16every man was his own law.
08:19No ifs, ands, or buts about it, gentlemen.
08:22I'll do my duty.
08:24And I expect you to do yours.
08:33I know how you must feel, Lucas, but...
08:36What if it were Mark?
08:44Hey, Grandpa, it's Mr. McCain and Mr. Torrance.
08:51Go rustle up some kindling wood.
08:54Well, come on in.
08:56You're steaming like an express train. What's ailing you?
08:58See, if you'd come out to offer me a deputy job,
09:00you'd just wasted your ride.
09:01Is that so?
09:02Yes, it is.
09:04You're lucky to have me on your side.
09:06Well, I'm glad to have you on my side.
09:08Well, I'm glad to have you on my side.
09:10Well, I'm glad to have you on my side.
09:12Hello.
09:13Yes, sir.
09:14You know, I stopped packing a badge when Woody was orphaned.
09:18Thought I'd play it safe for his sake.
09:20Well, time catches up to all of us.
09:22Yeah, don't it?
09:23Mr. Fogarty, we stopped by to have a talk about Woody.
09:27Woody?
09:28Yeah, that Woody boy, he's a corker.
09:31Well, some of the ladies in town figure you and her,
09:33well, they would have a more substantial home.
09:36That isn't until you get on your feet and get settled.
09:38Lucas, means that you'd maybe feel better
09:40if Woody was in a nice home so he could go to school regular,
09:43church affairs, kid stuff, you know what I mean.
09:48I must be getting old.
09:49Hardly believe my ears.
09:51You've got to figure what's best for Woody, Grandpa.
09:53You can see him all you want.
10:01Lucas McCain always trusted you as a friend.
10:04I'd be a poor friend if I didn't speak my true thoughts, Grandpa.
10:08Well, now, Mr. Fuss and Feathers, you just listen to me.
10:11That boy ain't living on charity,
10:13and there ain't nobody going to make a grub-line coyote out of him.
10:18There's a lot to be learned from poverty.
10:20Learning what's necessary and what ain't.
10:22Now, Woody's learning how deep he is,
10:24how strong he is, how to depend on himself,
10:27how necessary it is to work to live,
10:29and how he can be proud of the work he does.
10:32He don't see me scraping in the bound of nobody for crumbs or leftovers,
10:36nobody's taking my grandson away from me, and that's for sure.
10:40Don't be too hasty, Mr. Fogarty.
10:42I'm done talking, Marshal.
10:43There's a road back home.
10:48I didn't think he'd take it sitting down.
10:50He sure didn't.
10:51Bye, Mr. McCain, Mr. Foss.
10:53Bye, Woody.
11:03You been having a forge, Grandpa?
11:05Hey, you know the way I figured we're going to have just about enough boards
11:09to build a flume all the way from the spring to the house.
11:12Gee, imagine water running right to our back door.
11:15Yeah, without going into debt, either, for any pipe or lumber.
11:19Or nails, either, if you can straighten these out real good.
11:22Sure I can, Grandpa.
11:31Hey, Fogarty!
11:33Who's that, Grandpa?
11:34More nosy neighbors, I reckon.
11:36Time was when a man could have some peace and quiet around here.
11:39You just keep on working. I'll go and get rid of him.
11:41Yes, sir.
12:00Hey, you!
12:01Hey, you! Stop that!
12:03What are you doing to my goods?
12:05Who are you?
12:06You know me, Fogarty.
12:10Deebo.
12:14Deebo Lee.
12:16Once a bum, always a bum.
12:22You give up hopping freights and getting in people's way?
12:25They sentenced you for life.
12:27I changed that sentence.
12:29Like you changed my plans for the Pacific Express some five years back.
12:35You broke out.
12:37And that took some doing.
12:48Yeah.
12:51That took some dying, too.
13:00Ah!
13:04You know, with all that money, you could have it a little fancier around here.
13:08Hey, you ain't spent it.
13:10I never had to spend!
13:13I sat in a wet stone cell five years thinking about that money.
13:19And that five years, that made me kind of careless about human life.
13:25Now, you just tell me where it is!
13:28That simple!
13:29I've told sheriff, soldiers, treasure hunters, railroad bulls,
13:32and I'm telling you, I never had that money!
13:35You're the only one who could have touched it!
13:37Oh, you're gonna lose your old age holding out my money!
13:42Now, you listen to me.
13:45When you dynamited that train, I was a bum riding the rod.
13:48I never knew anything about that money then or since.
13:51And I'm telling you like I told everybody else.
13:53I figured that money burned up in the rack.
13:55Then how come you're hiding out here?
13:57Everybody kept nagging at me about the money shipment.
14:00What did you do with it? Where is it?
14:02I got so sick of suspicion of cut and run.
14:05Nobody's bothered us here.
14:07Us?
14:11Yeah.
14:12Me and my pig.
14:15Got so I couldn't even tie my shoes.
14:18Got so I couldn't even tie my shoes without somebody watching me.
14:26Oh, what a sad story you tell.
14:31That hand!
14:34That hand needs looking after.
14:37Save it!
14:39Now, I know you've got my money.
14:42I'm gonna wring your scrawny red neck,
14:45and I'm gonna tear this sack apart,
14:47the life I get in the bank.
14:49All of it.
14:50In what bank?
14:51North Fork.
14:52They would open in the morning.
14:57One little mistake.
14:59One mistake and you're gonna beg for a quick end
15:02the way you used to beg for a crust of bread.
15:07All right, now turn that hand.
15:09That hand!
15:14Yeah, it needs looking after.
15:18I tore that to my gut.
15:22Stupid gut.
15:29Cut!
15:30It's a good sign if it stings.
15:32That's good whiskey you always...
15:35Oh, that's... that's been a long time.
15:40Hey, you need a yard of bullets on that hand.
15:43Oh, man.
15:45I waited too long to lose you now.
15:48I'm just going to the spring to get a year of a gun for your hand.
15:52Yeah.
15:54Ain't no place I got left to run.
15:57If you ain't back in a minute,
15:59I'm coming after you,
16:01and I ain't got nothing to lose.
16:03I ain't got nothing to lose, you know.
16:18Whitty! Whitty!
16:23Are you a darn fool, kid?
16:24You can't even straighten nails unless I'm watching you every second.
16:27I tell you and I tell you and you never learn nothing.
16:29I can take them apart, Grandpa.
16:31I'll put everything back just like it was.
16:33No, it's all wasted.
16:34You won't even help me build a flume.
16:35You're the most no-good kid I've ever seen.
16:42I'm sorry, Grandpa.
16:43It's too late to be sorry.
16:45You and me's come to the parting of the ways.
16:47You go on your way and I'll go mine.
16:49But, Grandpa, I ain't got no place to go.
16:53Marshall and McCain, them do-gooders in town,
16:55they want to set you in the lap of luxury,
16:57go on into them.
16:58I won't do it again, Grandpa.
17:00I promise.
17:01Just don't talk like that.
17:04I love you, Grandpa.
17:07Hey, you scat out of here.
17:09I'm sick and tired of you waiting me down like a millstone around my neck.
17:12Go on into McCain and them others.
17:13They'll bathe me in spoilier rotten.
17:14Go on.
17:15Well, all right.
17:18All right, I'll find me a place.
17:20A place where there ain't a cranky old man yelling at me day and night.
17:24Go on.
17:25You and your old water flume.
17:26I ain't never coming back.
17:27You hear? I ain't.
17:30Go on. Get off my property.
17:32I ain't never coming back.
17:34You ain't worth it.
17:36I ain't.
18:00These stirrups just aren't long enough for you anymore.
18:02Guess I'll have to make you some new ones.
18:04I like them.
18:05Well, it's no good holding on to things you can't use, son.
18:08Say, Pa.
18:10You know those old school books that I've already gone through?
18:13Mm-hmm.
18:14Why don't I give them to Woody?
18:16Well, they're for his age and he could keep up by studying them at home.
18:20That's a good idea, son.
18:22You know, Woody may be living in a new home in town soon.
18:25He's already got a home.
18:27Are they moving again?
18:28No, Mark.
18:29You see, Mrs. Dalrymple is looking around for a place for Woody to stay
18:32while his grandpa fixes up their place.
18:34Oh, that nosy old Mrs. Dalrymple.
18:37Now, she's only thinking of what's good for Woody.
18:39Now, you've seen the conditions.
18:40It's not like they can't see each other anymore.
18:44But, Pa, they got it better than you think.
18:46They get along real well laughing and working together
18:49and they've figured out plans for fixing up their place.
18:53Mark, you know the old man can't see too well anymore.
18:56Suppose a gun goes off or a fire breaks out or an ax slips and Woody gets hurt.
19:01But, Pa, their thing's just as important.
19:03Woody's got a grandpa and they stick up for each other.
19:05The two of them together.
19:07Like you and me.
19:11And, Pa, you wouldn't let anyone separate us if things weren't going right, would you?
19:18No, Mark, I wouldn't.
19:20I guess sometimes we grown-ups can't see the forest for the trees.
19:24I'm gonna see what I can do to let Woody stay with Grandpa.
19:27Oh, that's great, Pa.
19:29And when school starts, I can ride with Woody every day.
19:32Mr. McCain!
19:35Oh, Mr. McCain!
19:37Oh, Mr. McCain!
19:40Woody, what is it? Where's your grandpa?
19:42Back home.
19:43What's wrong? Are you sick?
19:45No, I ain't sick.
19:47Easy now, son. You tell it the way you want.
19:49He said I was no good to him.
19:51I made a pair of stilts and he told me to get out and find another place.
19:56That doesn't sound like your grandpa.
19:58You sure you haven't forgotten something?
20:00No, sir.
20:01That's the way it was.
20:03But I was thinking.
20:05Maybe the heat's affecting him.
20:07Or it was that man that come.
20:10Grandpa's a real old man, you know.
20:12Maybe there's something wrong.
20:14Him and me, we don't talk back to each other.
20:21I ain't really crying, Mr. McCain.
20:23I just don't know what I'm gonna do.
20:25Of course you're not really crying.
20:26Because you're here with us and there's really nothing to cry about.
20:29Look, it's getting late. I'll bet you're hungry.
20:31Mark, can you fix up some scrambled eggs?
20:33Sure can. With strawberry jelly on it.
20:36Look, I've got an errand to do. I won't be long.
20:38You stay with Mark, huh?
20:39Come on. I'll show you how I can cook.
20:59Oh, you old beggar.
21:01You've been a worthless tramp all your life.
21:04I never asked for more than I needed.
21:07I never broke a law or put a soul in my life.
21:10Except for Woody.
21:12Woody who?
21:14Woody.
21:15The best boy I ever knew.
21:18Take my word for it.
21:20He's a good boy.
21:22He's a good boy.
21:24He's a good boy.
21:25He's a good boy.
21:26He's a good boy.
21:28Take my advice, old man.
21:30Don't trust nobody.
21:33Don't care about anybody.
21:35Don't work for anybody.
21:37Accept yourself.
21:39It's time we got started for town, huh?
21:42I told you that bank don't open till morning.
21:44Bottle's empty!
21:47That bank has got to give you your money when you ask for it.
21:50Suppose it ain't in that bank.
21:58Old man.
22:00I'm getting sick of you and your foolish ways.
22:05Who was that?
22:13Old man.
22:15If you so much as cough,
22:17I'm gonna blow it right back down your throat.
22:28There's the pig coming back to say good night.
22:32Come on, let's go.
22:34All right, hold it.
22:38Grandpa, you hurt?
22:39Hurt?
22:40Don't worry, I gotta go find Woody.
22:42Don't worry, he's in good hands.
22:44Now look, mister, whoever you are,
22:48I'm harmless.
22:50I mean, you scared me when you came in without a gun.
22:54I mean, you scared me when you came in without a friendly hail.
22:59My old fogey there and I, we're old time partners, so to speak.
23:08Luke?
23:09You all right, Luke?
23:11I'm all right, Grandpa.
23:24Who is he?
23:26You take me to Woody and I'll tell you all about it.
23:55Never would have believed you could do it, Mr. Fogarty.
23:57It sure is a big improvement.
23:59Yeah, the trouble is, when you get water, you gotta find something to water.
24:02You know, people, floors, clothes, anything.
24:05Can't hardly persuade sunshine in the house anymore.
24:10Wanna try, Pa?
24:11No thanks, son, you go ahead.
24:13And take one big step for me.
24:16Wanna try, Pa?
24:17No thanks, son, you go ahead.
24:19And take one big step for me.
24:45THE END
