00:00The Rifleman
00:18Starring Chuck Connors
00:19Yeah, be just another minute, Micah.
00:33Take your time.
00:36Ready, Pete?
00:39Hi.
00:40What's the matter?
00:43Ah, that's not a loaded thing, Pete.
01:13Allow me, gentlemen, would you, please?
01:19Come on, now, just don't stand there, please.
01:21Under it.
01:27Ah, there you are.
01:28You know, I've heard people say that most of my brains are in my arms and my back,
01:32and you know something?
01:33I'm forever trying to prove that they're correct.
01:35Well, I'm certainly much obliged to you, mister.
01:37Oh, an undeniable pleasure, laddie, undeniable.
01:39When I get ready to roof my house, I'm gonna have you lifted on.
01:42Oh, surely, surely.
01:43But listen now, promise me one thing.
01:45Promise me that it won't be more than three stories tall, huh?
01:48You know, that was quite a compliment, being as how it came from our blacksmith.
01:57Oh, thank you, sir, thank you.
01:59That comes from lifting stones to find enough sod underneath them to plant a potato.
02:03Am I right in thinking it's the sod of County Down you're referring to?
02:07Yes, you are, sir, yes, indeed, yes.
02:09Our County Down man, Dennis O'Flaherty is the name.
02:11Micah Torrance.
02:12Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir.
02:14And you know something?
02:15It's a good omen, too.
02:16The first man that I meet in town turns out to be an Irishman.
02:19And not alone that.
02:20It's a better omen that he turns out to be the law, too, huh?
02:23Incidentally, Marshal, tell me something.
02:25This, um, this hotel over here,
02:28would the name Marion that be a, um,
02:31red-haired, green-eyed Irish girl of more than passing beauty?
02:35You're a friend of Lou's?
02:38But does the description fit the name?
02:41Well, then a friend of hers I am indeed,
02:43and one that's eager to be seen or two.
02:45Then I won't detain you any longer, Mr. O'Flaherty.
02:48Right, sir. Fine. I shall see you, Marshal.
03:08Ding!
03:22Morning, stranger.
03:23Hey, good morning to you, too, sir.
03:25What'll it be? Beer or whiskey?
03:28Beer?
03:29Oh, no.
03:30That's a very poor thing to offer a man
03:32that's been 20 long dusty days on the road.
03:35Got Irish whiskey, if that be your taste.
03:37Oh, me darling.
03:39Then bring on your treasure and commence to pour it.
03:41Now, but gently and with reverence.
03:44Don't bruise it.
03:46Mr. Larson?
03:49There's a carpet bag by the desk.
03:51Did you see anyone?
03:55Dennis?
03:56Of course, my dear heart.
03:58Now, who else would it be but myself?
04:00Drinking to the health of the future,
04:04Dennis O'Flaherty.
04:17Say something, dear girl.
04:19Say something in the way of a greeting.
04:21Hello, Dennis.
04:23That's not quite what I had in mind,
04:25but I suppose it's better than nothing.
04:27I'm sorry. I'm surprised.
04:29Oh, yes, of course you would be.
04:31You know, I didn't mind to write to you,
04:33but I suppose...
04:34No, no, no.
04:35Better that I should surprise her.
04:37How are you?
04:38At me best, dear girl, at me best.
04:40Oh, there's no need to ask you how you are.
04:44Things have changed.
04:45Things have changed, Lou.
04:46Changed for the better, too.
04:48A lot of things have changed, Dennis.
04:49Oh, I know, I know.
04:50But not the old things, no.
04:52Not the old loyalties, the friendships.
04:54The old promises, Lou.
04:58Ten years, Dennis.
04:59It's been ten years since I left Ireland.
05:01My darling in my heart,
05:02it's been ten times ten years.
05:04And ten times that again, too.
05:06Oh, Lou.
05:09Let me look at you.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Still the same radiant, lovely creature
05:16that you always were.
05:18Lou!
05:20How about a kiss for your future husband, huh?
05:23Oh!
05:24Now, I don't blame you one small little bit, you know.
05:26What a stupid kind of a man that I am
05:28to take a girl into my arms
05:31when I got all the dust of the countryside on myself.
05:34You know what it was, don't you?
05:35Of course, Lou.
05:37It was the sight of your radiant beauty
05:40once more that made me forget my manners.
05:46Lou!
05:47Oh, in here, Lucas.
05:50Lou, I was wondering...
05:51Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:52You're not interrupting.
05:53Lucas McCain, Dennis O'Flaherty.
05:55How do you do, sir?
05:56How do you do?
05:57Lucas is my dearest friend in North Fork.
05:59Oh, well, in that case,
06:00it's a double pleasure to meet you, sir.
06:01How are you?
06:02Dennis comes from the same part of Ireland.
06:04We lived on adjoining farms.
06:05Oh, that's right.
06:06A very interesting thing, you know.
06:07I was helping her father
06:08with the crops the day she was born.
06:10And, you know, a day hasn't passed since,
06:11but she seems to have grown prettier.
06:13You must be tired.
06:14I'll get your room.
06:15Lucas, I'll be right back.
06:16Just a moment, darling, would you?
06:18Mr. McCain,
06:19seeing that herself hasn't any relatives hereabouts
06:21and that you're her best friend,
06:22I was wondering if you'd do me a favor.
06:24Name it.
06:25Well, uh,
06:26the best man at her wedding, huh?
06:29At your wedding?
06:30Yes, at her wedding.
06:31Come on, dear.
06:32Oh, Lucas, wait.
06:34I'll be right back.
06:37They may even ask you to give the bride away.
06:39What are you going to do about it?
06:41Nothing.
06:42Nothing?
06:43Micah, she was standing right there at the time.
06:45She didn't say anything.
06:46Now, look, she's a grown woman.
06:47If she gets it into her head to get married,
06:49well, she's got the right.
06:50Well, I won't argue that with them,
06:52only I sort of figure that, well, the way things...
06:54You better start re-figuring things.
06:56Yes, I guess I better,
06:57though I doubt it will ever make any sense.
06:59Well, I got to get back to my place.
07:01Without talking to Lou?
07:02I'll probably see her next time I'm in town.
07:04Don't worry about it so much.
07:05I asked you to wait for me.
07:07I know, but you were involved.
07:08Don't you want an explanation?
07:10You don't have to explain anything to me, Lou.
07:12Oh, Lucas, will you please stop acting so contrary?
07:14Contrary?
07:15I thought I was being a gentleman.
07:16Then will you please stop being a gentleman
07:17and listen to me?
07:18All right, I'll listen.
07:19What is it?
07:20When I was eight, my mother died.
07:22And there was my father with six children
07:24and me the oldest.
07:25And him a sick man as well.
07:27So Dennis agreed to help run our farm
07:29and see to it that we had food and clothes.
07:31He kept us alive during the drought and bad crops.
07:33And before my father died,
07:35he offered to give Dennis our farm.
07:37Sounds to me like he might have earned it.
07:38He did, but he refused.
07:40He wanted something else.
07:42My father agreed.
07:43It was a debt of honor.
07:44That's right, me.
07:46They shook hands,
07:47and with my father's last breath on earth,
07:49he promised me to Dennis.
07:50Well, you were only a child.
07:51Nobody has the right to give you away.
07:53Lucas, you don't understand
07:55the ways of the old world.
07:56A father has the right
07:57to pledge his daughter in marriage.
07:59But you're not in Ireland now.
08:00You're in America.
08:01I'm quite aware of where I am.
08:03But my birth ties go deeper,
08:05especially when the pledge is a dying pledge,
08:07given in bond to pay a rightful debt.
08:09Are you telling me you feel duty-bound
08:11to marry this man?
08:12I am.
08:15Well, aren't you going to say anything?
08:17Of course.
08:21Good luck, little one.
08:25Good luck!
08:36Tell me, uh,
08:37is it always this crowded?
08:39This is mostly a shop and a crowd.
08:41Sweeney gets most of the trail hands.
08:43I see.
08:44Well, a little solitude drinking
08:45never hurts a man.
08:46Gives him a chance to think of his future.
08:47Markie, my drink is Irish.
08:49This is a lot cheaper.
08:50Irish, if you don't mind.
08:52And I'm sure that Miss Mallory
08:53won't mind the expense.
08:54Oh, incidentally,
08:55I've been traveling rather light.
08:56I'm in need of, uh, certain things.
08:58Such as?
08:59Well, such as a new saddle, for one thing.
09:01Oh, Mills the blacksmith
09:03has some serviceable ones.
09:05Used, but they got some years in them yet.
09:07No, no, no, I didn't mind something,
09:08something with a flair to it.
09:10Burkett's store has some of the silver ones
09:12they make in Mexico.
09:13Ah, good, good, good.
09:14Well, I'll have a look at them.
09:15Uh, tell me, Markie,
09:16what do the good people of this town
09:18do when the sun goes down?
09:19Sleep.
09:20I see.
09:21And for those that are interested
09:23in a little manly conversation or sport?
09:26Well, you can always find
09:27a farrow game going over at Sweeney's.
09:29Ah, splendid, splendid.
09:31Now, I must hasten
09:32and make myself known to this gentleman
09:34with the honorable name of Sweeney.
09:36Good day to you.
09:37Might as well let you know, uh,
09:39Miss Lou doesn't have an account over there.
09:41Oh, doesn't she, indeed?
09:43Well, she will have.
09:53Why, Pa?
09:54Well, son,
09:55people see things differently
09:57in different parts of the world.
09:58Now, in Ireland,
09:59they have a lot of old-fashioned customs,
10:01like a father being able
10:02to give away his daughter in marriage
10:03without consulting her first.
10:05What?
10:06I guess it's a man's world there.
10:09Just the same.
10:11I wouldn't want to marry a girl
10:12who didn't want to marry me.
10:14Well, there's more to Lou's decision
10:15than that, son.
10:16You believe in paying off your debts?
10:19Yeah.
10:20Well, old Flaherty did a lot
10:21for Lou and her family.
10:22Marrying someone because you owe them.
10:25Is that why you and Ma got married?
10:28Of course not, son.
10:29We were in love.
10:30We wanted to be together.
10:32And we were,
10:34as long as God let us.
10:36Well,
10:37with Lou and Mr. Flaherty,
10:39it's, um,
10:41more of a business deal
10:42than a marriage, isn't it?
10:44It's not a business deal, son.
10:45There's still two people getting married.
10:47Now, don't get me wrong.
10:48I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong.
10:51I'm just saying it's the custom
10:52of her country.
10:53Does that satisfy you?
10:57Sure, if it satisfies you.
11:06Micah.
11:08What brings you to town?
11:09Dennis, old Flaherty.
11:11What do you make of him?
11:12Well, I'm not so sure.
11:14No opinion at all?
11:16Well, he does have an Irishman's glib tongue
11:18and the man has charm.
11:21There's no denying it.
11:22Only, um...
11:23Only what?
11:24Well, something tells me
11:25when St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland,
11:27he may have overlooked one or two.
11:30Yeah.
11:40Dennis,
11:41I want to talk to you.
11:43I'm so glad, Lou.
11:44You know, that's my favorite pastime,
11:46talking to a beautiful woman.
11:47Sit down, Lou.
11:48Sit down.
11:49Do you know how much money
11:50you've spent in the past few days?
11:52Oh, no, darling.
11:53That should be no concern of yours at all.
11:54In my family,
11:55it's the men that does all the worrying
11:56about the money.
11:58A lot of hard work,
11:59sweat and pain
12:00went into what I have.
12:01And I'm not gonna stand by
12:02and see you wasted away.
12:04Oh, now, dear heart,
12:05you haven't been gone so long
12:06that you should take that tone with me?
12:08Oh, you're mistaken, Dennis.
12:09I have been gone that long.
12:11But that hasn't changed me.
12:12One of the reasons I left her village
12:14was that I couldn't see myself
12:15like the other women,
12:16becoming a drudge
12:17to the whims of their husbands.
12:19Now, Lou,
12:20you don't seem to understand.
12:21It's the man
12:22that heads the house
12:23and makes the rules.
12:24Now, if I want to make you a queen,
12:25then it is a queen
12:26you're going to be.
12:27But if I want you to be a drudge...
12:29Well...
12:30Oh, but now,
12:31let's not have any more
12:32of this silly talk, huh?
12:34Can't you look at me
12:35and see that I'm no longer
12:36the little girl
12:37you can frighten
12:38with your threats
12:39and your bullying?
12:40I can see
12:41that you are still
12:42a child of your father's.
12:44Beautiful and radiant,
12:45but willful
12:47and forgetful
12:48in your promises.
12:49Oh, but don't worry, darling.
12:50Don't worry.
12:51You'll come around
12:52to my way of thinking
12:53in the end.
12:55Oh, darling,
12:56I still want to be
12:57kind and gentle to you
12:58as I was
12:59when you were a girl
13:00in Ireland.
13:01And I can be
13:02if you let me.
13:03But when you...
13:04When you don't show
13:05full appreciation
13:06for what I did
13:07for your family,
13:08oh, it makes me so sad.
13:10Now, promise me, darling.
13:12Promise me
13:13that you'll forget
13:14all about money
13:15and bills
13:16and things like that
13:17because mine
13:18and what's good for me
13:19is good for you.
13:20Now, promise me that, huh?
13:21Let go of me, Dad!
13:22No, no, no, no, no.
13:23First of all,
13:24give me your answer.
13:25Leave her alone.
13:28Now, who have we got here?
13:32Ah, Lou.
13:33It's my old friend, the Bartender.
13:35Dad, don't!
13:37I won't fight you.
13:42I'm sorry, darling.
13:43What...
13:44What did you say?
13:47I won't fight you.
13:49Oh,
13:50that's a wise decision,
13:51a very wise decision indeed.
13:53Now, you see,
13:54I told you
13:55you'd see it my way
13:56in the end.
13:59I knew that you'd remember
14:00our agreement.
14:08Dad.
14:17Mr. Larson,
14:18I'm sorry
14:19about what happened.
14:20Yes, ma'am.
14:22I just remembered
14:23we don't have any coal oil.
14:24Would you go down
14:25to the general store
14:26and get a keg, please?
14:27Surely, ma'am.
14:33Mr. McCain, Mr. Larson.
14:41You busy?
14:42I was just about
14:43to check the stock.
14:44Oh, we can help you.
14:46Today's a bad time for it.
14:47Yeah, I know,
14:48but I've got some time
14:49on my hands
14:50while Nils is shoeing my horse.
14:51Anyway,
14:52it's too hot
14:53to wait outside.
14:54You didn't walk over here
14:55just to discuss the weather,
14:56so don't play games.
14:57Oh, it's just
14:58an innocent statement.
14:59Don't get riled.
15:00I'm not riled.
15:01Oh, of course you're not.
15:02I'm busy, Lucas.
15:03How's O'Flaherty?
15:04Can't you call him Dennis?
15:06It's a quaint,
15:07old Irish name.
15:08I must admit, though,
15:09I was surprised
15:10when you said
15:11you were getting married.
15:12I didn't seem
15:13to bother you any.
15:14Oh, that's right.
15:15But it did bother Mark.
15:16I was talking to him
15:17about it last night.
15:18What were you
15:19talking to him about?
15:20Well, I was
15:21telling him
15:22all the things
15:23you told me
15:24about this O'Flaherty.
15:25What is so difficult
15:26about the name
15:27of Dennis?
15:28You're getting riled again.
15:29I am not getting riled.
15:30I'm sorry.
15:31Will you please
15:32stop saying I'm sorry?
15:33Well, like I was
15:34telling Mark,
15:35it's Dennis
15:36O'Flaherty.
15:38Dennis is a real man,
15:39I said.
15:40Hardworking,
15:41industrious,
15:42man of honor,
15:43loyal.
15:45The kind of a man
15:46any woman would be
15:47proud and thankful
15:48to marry.
15:49I'd appreciate it
15:50if you didn't tell me
15:51how to run my life.
15:52I'd also appreciate it
15:53if you didn't
15:54discuss my affairs
15:55with Mark.
15:56Well, now, Mark
15:57figures he's a friend
15:58of yours,
15:59since he has
16:00your best interest
16:01at heart.
16:02Do you mind
16:03if I'm judge
16:04of my own
16:05best interest?
16:06Of course.
16:07I can see
16:08you're very happy.
16:09Men!
16:10There's nothing
16:11aggravates me
16:12like the superior male
16:13who thinks he knows
16:14absolutely nothing
16:15about Mr. O'Flaherty.
16:17Dennis?
16:18I know his name!
16:19And I know a lot
16:20more about him
16:21than you do.
16:22It just so happens
16:23that Dennis O'Flaherty
16:24is...
16:25Is what, Lou?
16:27Just stay away
16:28from him.
16:30Please, Lucas,
16:31believe me,
16:32you don't know
16:33anything about him.
16:34He'll do anything
16:35to anyone
16:36who gets in his way.
16:37Then send him packing.
16:38I can't.
16:39You can if you want to.
16:40It's enough I got
16:41one man telling me
16:42what to do
16:43Lou, I don't mean
16:44to give you orders,
16:45I'm just trying to help.
16:46I don't want your help.
16:47I don't want
16:48any man's help anymore.
16:51Lou,
16:52if you're in trouble...
16:53Trouble?
16:55Trouble's what got me
16:56beholden to one man.
16:57I just as...
16:58soon,
16:59it didn't get me
17:00beholden to another.
17:01Well, if you're so interested,
17:02why don't you just come in?
17:03I'm just standing
17:04quietly here
17:05protecting my property.
17:07Is that what she is to you?
17:09That's none of your business,
17:10Mr. McCain.
17:11Besides,
17:13it's a very arrogant question
17:14and calls for an apology.
17:16That, my friend,
17:17is a matter of opinion.
17:18Lucas,
17:19Dennis is right.
17:20What's between us
17:21is none of your business.
17:22None of my business?
17:24Please go.
17:27Goodbye, Lou.
17:33You did very well.
17:35Very well indeed, Lou.
17:36That is,
17:37if you have any regard
17:38for that gentleman.
17:43Well,
17:45it wasn't old women talking.
17:46It...
17:47It was Nils and Mr. Sweeney.
17:49You forget about it
17:50and pay attention
17:51to your studies, son.
17:52Paul,
17:53Lou is our friend.
17:54How come we're not
17:55doing anything?
17:56And I mean doing
17:57and not talking?
17:58Well, because I was told
17:59it was none of my business, Mark.
18:01Everyone knows
18:02he's just bleeding her dry.
18:04Buying things
18:05and then paying for them
18:06with her money.
18:07Is that all you kids do,
18:08listening to old women
18:09and old men talking?
18:10Well,
18:11if it was me
18:12and I was a doing friend
18:13instead of a talking friend,
18:14I'd...
18:15I'd saddle up
18:16and go do something
18:17about it.
18:33Thanks for some
18:34good fatherly advice.
18:36Ah,
18:37good night, Figaro.
18:38And I'm off to Sweeney's
18:39for a nightcap
18:40and a game of cards.
18:41Now, you go to bed
18:42like I told you.
18:43Good night, sleep,
18:44and you'll be feeling
18:45like a queen.
18:46Good night, fellow.
18:47Darling Emily,
18:48where are you?
18:49기나염이 boring.
18:50Really, I'm
18:51isn't it?
18:52Brother,
18:53she doesn't like
18:54me.
18:55She'll go long
18:56in the tumble if she
18:57enjoys the tumble.
18:58Never mind,
18:59we haven't got
19:00your home.
19:01We haven't even gone
19:02to that girls house
19:03in the first century.
19:04God,
19:05you're such a
19:06bastard.
19:07Mind your own business.
19:08Come and play
19:09with me.
19:10I'm not playing
19:11with you.
19:12Please,
19:13help me.
19:14Help me.
19:15Now,
19:16♪♪
19:47Well, now, there you are, my love.
19:51What? What's this? What have we got here?
19:53Traveling bag? Are you going someplace?
19:55An overnight trip, perhaps, eh?
20:00Why are you looking so frightened, darling?
20:03Oh, I know, of course, you thought me to be down at Sweeney's.
20:06So I was, too, but...
20:07Well, you look so pale when I went out. I didn't want to leave you.
20:11I'm not going to marry you, Dennis.
20:13Oh, now you don't know what you're saying.
20:15You're under a strain, that's it.
20:17My father were alive to know you for what you are.
20:19He wouldn't hold me to that promise.
20:21I believe that with all my heart.
20:24You ran away once before, and now you're doing the same thing again.
20:27Oh, but you shouldn't do that, darling.
20:30Now, promise me that you'll never run away again.
20:32Promise me.
20:34Oh, I know what's troubling you, all right.
20:37You're sad and lonely here among these strangers.
20:40Ah, what do they know of the lonely longings of an Irish woman's heart
20:43in the wee cold hours of the morning?
20:46But I do.
20:48I know, Lou.
20:50You'll never be lonely with me.
20:53I could make you happy again, Lou.
20:55I could make you very happy.
21:00Lucas McCain. Oh, this is a great pleasure indeed.
21:03In fact, I might say an unexpected pleasure.
21:05And you're just in time, too.
21:07Just in time for a drink to celebrate our forthcoming nuptials.
21:11Now, what is it going to be, huh?
21:13I needn't ask. The best there is, of course, Irish whiskey.
21:17Nothing finer to drink in the world.
21:20Sir, one for you, and one for me.
21:23Here you are, Mr. McCain.
21:26Oh, you're not a drinking man, huh?
21:28Oh, well, it doesn't make any difference anyway. I'll drink for both of us.
21:31To your very good health, my love.
21:38Oh, such a pity. Such a pity indeed.
21:41But a man shouldn't interfere in another man's domestic problems.
21:48Well, now, huh?
22:07Oh, my God!
22:37Oh, my God!
23:07Oh, my God!
23:37Well, you said it was none of my business.
23:39So I guess you'll want me to pay for the damages.
23:56Miss Lou, I can't help wondering.
23:58If you had gotten to run away,
24:00would that mean that we'd have never seen you again?
24:02You don't have to answer that, Lou.
24:04It's a good question, but I'm not sure of the answer, Mark.
24:07I know running away doesn't solve any problems,
24:09but at the time, it was all I could think of.
24:11Getting rid of some of the old world customs I grew up with
24:13is more easily said than done.
24:15Well, it's all over now.
24:17That's just what I mean.
24:19Why?
24:20This.
24:21It's an old Irish custom to knock on wood
24:23so the leprechauns will hear and know you're thanking them
24:25for a piece of good luck.
24:26Really?
24:27Really.
24:34THE END
