1
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Keeping your wife in an ivory tower won't ensure you

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,920
heard devotion. Once she gets tired of it, neither your

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,760
money nor your guns will hold her.

4
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: Have gun will travel.

5
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Starring mister John Dayner as Paladin, San Francisco, eighteen seventy five,

6
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,799
The Carlton Hotel, headquarters of a man called Paladin.

7
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: Going back to Mara. You sure you won't have another drink?

8
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: No? No thanks, Meet you downstairs in the morning.

9
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: I'll be ready. Good night, Good night, Jeremiah.

10
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,359
Speaker 3: Hello, miss Wong. We all please turn down the bed.

11
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,519
Speaker 1: Ma, yes, come in, Miss Wan. Oh and if you

12
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:24,200
don't mind, you can help me pack.

13
00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: You leave, you go away again?

14
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: So soon?

15
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Looks that way, miss Wong, first thing in the morning.

16
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: Oh, you'd be gone long time.

17
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Hard to tell. It's such an unusual job. Do you

18
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:37,959
see that man who left my room? He's a very

19
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,799
famous man, for it was at one time Jeremiah Smooth

20
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,560
or Jeremiah the Avenger, they.

21
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:45,079
Speaker 2: Used to call him.

22
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: Oh, why famous?

23
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,879
Speaker 1: He was the man with a lightning draw, the fastest

24
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480
gun on this side of the Mississippi, feared by every

25
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,599
gunfighter in the West.

26
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: And do you know what he wants me for?

27
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: No?

28
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:00,719
Speaker 3: Why he want you so file little?

29
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:14,599
Speaker 1: He wants me to be his bodyguard. Ah, this is

30
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,719
the cold season. What do the medical authorities say about the

31
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:20,919
common cold? Doctors tell us there's no known drug which

32
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,319
will cure a cold. There are effective medications for treating

33
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,319
complications accompanying or following a cold. If you've been taking

34
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,719
sensible precautions and still have one cold after another, it's

35
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:35,199
best to see your doctor. And here's another important health tip.

36
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,039
When you have a cold and need a laxative, that's

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,479
the time to rely on gentle x lax, pleasant tasting,

38
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:46,080
chocolated x slax helps you toward your normal regularity gently overnight.

39
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840
X lax gets along with any cold remedies you may

40
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,039
be taking. And xlax works where nature wants, in the

41
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,360
lower track, not the stomach. X lax is so gentle,

42
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,080
so close to natural acting. There's no upset, no urgency

43
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,719
or discomfort. Next morning you're well on your way toward

44
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:04,560
your normal regularity. So when you have a cold and

45
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,639
need a laxative, take x lax, the laxative you can

46
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:10,680
use with complete confidence. X lax helps you toward your

47
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,840
normal regularity gently overnight.

48
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,719
Speaker 2: X lax.

49
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I must admit I was intrigued with the irony of

50
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,840
the situation. Jeremiah the Avenger, the man who could take

51
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:28,039
care of himself, and the other man in the west

52
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,680
hiring me to protect him from himself. As it worked out,

53
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:34,800
the reasons for his strange action were revealed as he

54
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:37,199
rode south through the Salinas Valley on our way to

55
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,039
his spread. We were the only two passengers left on

56
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,080
the stage after King City, and last he could speak freely.

57
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: See Belladin.

58
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: I hung up my guns when I got married. That's

59
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,439
what Polly wanted. Polly's what I wanted. So we up

60
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:54,439
and there came out here from West Texas, started this

61
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,400
spread down the Chubushcod and everything worked out fine.

62
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:00,759
Speaker 2: Nobody knew who I was, or who Polly was for

63
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:01,960
that matter. Wash you.

64
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Well, you must know she was an entertainer. It's the

65
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,039
bird cage and Abileen. Oh, I see, well, them kind

66
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,400
often make the best wives.

67
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I've heard, well Polly did all right. You've

68
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,399
got no cause making any remarks about her.

69
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: Look, Jerry, I wasn't making any remarks. I was agreeing

70
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,360
with you. No need for you to be so touchy. Yeah,

71
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,879
I guess maybe I am a mine. It's all a

72
00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:30,279
fault of this here neighbor of mine, this Ezram Mason.

73
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,519
Speaker 2: What has he got to do with your being touchy? Oh?

74
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:35,959
Speaker 1: Seemed like he finds some excuse to drop in over

75
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:37,199
to my place almost every day.

76
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:38,519
Speaker 2: Say how toy to my wife?

77
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Now, then you can put your finger on really, but

78
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,160
I don't trust him. Now, That's what I'm paying you for, ballad,

79
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:48,600
and to straighten this thing out. If I try to,

80
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,680
I only know one way with a forty five. I

81
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,800
can't do that because I promised Polly I was through

82
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,839
with gunplay for the minute I slipped that ring on

83
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:58,600
her finger, and I mean to keep that promise.

84
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: You sound like an mighty devoted husband, Jerry. They voted.

85
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: I just told you I hung up my guns for

86
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:08,480
Polly and for me that was doing a lot.

87
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,639
Speaker 2: Yes, it was, Jeremiah, an awful lot.

88
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: Oh, you never didn't kind and you're oh hot, Stephen Hissa,

89
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:35,040
send your palette and gonna stay with us a spell,

90
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:36,800
uh steben.

91
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: And it happened whilst I was away. Nose in your orders,

92
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,800
been quiet, no visitors. Now, isn't your nun.

93
00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: God all right to take care of the horses, Stephen,

94
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,600
Come on, Patton, want you to meet the little woman.

95
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 5: Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.

96
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: Winston tastes good like.

97
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: A cigarette should.

98
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 5: Winston gives you real flavor, full rich tobacco flavor.

99
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 6: Winston's easy trying to the flavor comes right through to you.

100
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,399
Speaker 3: Winston tastes good like us cigarette.

101
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 7: Sure, a modern filter, Sure, Winston has it. But that's

102
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,920
only the beginning of a Winston up front. Upward, it

103
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:38,879
really counts. Winston packs exclusive filter blend, light flavorful tobaccos,

104
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,959
specially selected and specially processed for filter smoking. Filter Blend.

105
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,079
That's why it's fun to smoke Winston, America's best selling

106
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,199
filter cigarette.

107
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 3: Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.

108
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: Although Jeremiah had prepared me for a great deal, he

109
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:14,160
had not done his wife, Polly Justice. She was beautiful, frail, blonde,

110
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,600
her skin almost translucent to a white orchard. She received

111
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:20,639
me in the darkened living room of the hacienda, where

112
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:23,759
her paleness seemed to shine, for the windows were heavily

113
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,920
curtained from the midday sun, and only a glimmer of

114
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,439
daylight retreated before the steady glow of the candles, which

115
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,600
surrounded her chair.

116
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: Like a shrine.

117
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: You must forgive me for not meeting you outside, mister

118
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,839
paladin' that's all right, ma'am. I never go out of

119
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,800
doors in the daylight.

120
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:38,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, she freckled too easy.

121
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:42,279
Speaker 3: Yes, dear Mama, I fear your Polly would always be

122
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:42,959
a nice.

123
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:47,439
Speaker 1: Eh, Miss paladins from San Francisco. Polly I asked him

124
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:48,360
to stop him visit.

125
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: With us to spell how nice? How is San Francisco,

126
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:55,000
mister Paladin? Is it as gay as they say?

127
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: Well, yes, I suppose it is. How long has it

128
00:07:58,639 --> 00:07:59,519
been since you've been there?

129
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,079
Speaker 3: I've never been there, but I've always dreamed of going.

130
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,959
Jeremiah keeps promising to take me, but he never does.

131
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,040
Perhaps you would show me San Francisco someday, mister Paladin.

132
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: Well, yes, of course, missus smooth before you, du Paladin,

133
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,879
I'd just like to direct your attention to that wall.

134
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,879
Speaker 2: Over there by the fireplace. Ah. Yes, the guns, that's right,

135
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:21,839
they're beauties.

136
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,279
Speaker 1: That's where I hung them when Polly made me promise

137
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,279
not to use them. Don't you be doing nothing to

138
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:28,319
make me want to break that.

139
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:32,279
Speaker 3: Promise, Jeremah, I was only joking. When I asked mister

140
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,919
Paladin to show me something.

141
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: If I know you, I just wanted to make sure

142
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:39,919
he knows it. Well, we better get along. Let you

143
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,440
take your beauty in that Polly.

144
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:43,039
Speaker 3: Yes, Jeremy, we'll be looking.

145
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: In on your lawn up sundown.

146
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: Yes, about sundown. I come alive at nightfall, mister Paladin, Yes.

147
00:08:49,240 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: Ma'am, see what I mean. Paladins regularly, Lady.

148
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, there's nothing I wouldn't do for her except

149
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,000
break my promise to take down my gun. That's why

150
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:10,320
I keep him over in her police her place. Don't

151
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,759
you live there too? No, No, no, I sleep in

152
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:16,000
the main house. She asked for her own separate way,

153
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,399
and she got it, and it works out real nice,

154
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,480
you know, sort of exciting. You have to call on

155
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:28,320
your own wife. Yes, I suppose it would be, just

156
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,000
as long as I'm the only one that's calling.

157
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,399
Speaker 2: And that's where I come in. That's right.

158
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: You got to break up her friendship with Mason before

159
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:38,360
I'm forced to kill him and lose Polly into the bargain.

160
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: I'll get to work under this.

161
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:47,759
Speaker 1: Afternoon, after lunch, I sidled up and rode over alone

162
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:50,559
to pay a visit on Ezra Mason. I found him

163
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,399
out by his corral. Younger man and Jeremiah, I must admit,

164
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,879
a better looking man, and I soon discovered a man

165
00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:03,720
who was none too friendly. Mind state in your business,

166
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,559
not at all. I'd fear to be lost. I thought

167
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,080
you might be able to give me some directions.

168
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: Where you going? Well, I'm looking for Jeremiah the Avenger.

169
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:16,159
Jeremiah the Avenger? Who's he? I mean to say, you've

170
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:19,320
never heard of him? Huh? Not likely? I remember the

171
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:19,879
name like that.

172
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,159
Speaker 1: Oh, he was a famous gunfighter. He had a draw

173
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,480
like lightning. At a fact, nothing ever seemed like old Jeremiah.

174
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,440
But I hear he got himself married and promised his

175
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,559
wife he'd quit gunfighting. He heard he got himself a

176
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,799
spread out in these parts.

177
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:36,399
Speaker 2: I never heard of o Jeremiah the Avenger around here.

178
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: Oh well, of course he did have a regular name.

179
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:45,840
Smoot was Smoot's a there's a Jerry Smoot on down

180
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:46,639
the valley a piece.

181
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: Well, that must be him. Ah, but he doesn't look

182
00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:52,200
like no gunfighter to me.

183
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:58,639
Speaker 1: He got himself a young wife. Yeah, name of Polly. Yeah, pretty,

184
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,440
I'd say so. Oh, friend, you'd better not say so.

185
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,039
Where Jeremiah can hear you? Why not when he put

186
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,120
up his guns like Polly asked him, he vowed there

187
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:13,159
was only one reason he'd ever take him down again.

188
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,840
Why is that to kill the man who tried to

189
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,120
take his wife away from him. They don't call him

190
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:26,320
Jeremiah the Avenger for nothing. He's mean, nasty, mean jealous.

191
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,000
Well on down the valley, you say, huh, thanks for

192
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:30,600

193
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:30,960

Although the Lovely Polly claimed to be a night bird,

211
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,279
she did not last long that evening and retire to

212
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,759
her quarter shortly after supper. Jeremiah and I were too

213
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:00,960
tired to be very entertaining, so we turned in early

214
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,759
and I fell immediately into a deep sleep.

215
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: Some time later, I was awakened by the sound of shots.

216
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: I jumped out of bed, pulled on my trousers, and

217
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:12,000
rushed into the patio. There, in the moonlight lay the

218
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,519
still body of Ezra Mason, and crouching over it the

219
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,840
huge frame of Jeremiah. He made no effort to deny

220
00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:20,600
that he had shot and killed Ezra Mason, and he

221
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,279
wanted to get himself up, so he saddled up and

222
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,840
rode into town to see the sheriff.

223
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Finn, he up and did it.

224
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Jeremiah reckon, So sheriff tried to hold on him a promise,

225
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,879
even hired Balladin here to keep me from my guns.

226
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: Torn looked good.

227
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: And you see a dirty sneak heading in your wife's direction,

228
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,039
you shoot first and talk after. Well, he had it

229
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,039
coming to him, I reckon. Of course, I'm going to

230
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,159
have to hold you without bail.

231
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,799
Speaker 2: Jeremiah. Yeah, I understand. Bet you'd be out of here

232
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:49,440
mighty quick.

233
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,639
Speaker 1: You don't have to be no learned judge to know

234
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,279
a man's got.

235
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: A right to protect his property. You know something, Sheriff.

236
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,159
Speaker 1: It don't really seem to matter, now what do man,

237
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,320
whether judge lets me go or or the boar strang

238
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:03,679
me up.

239
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: I just don't care, Just don't seem care.

240
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,799
Speaker 1: Sure, sure way you get some sleep now, Jerry, And

241
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:10,840
don't you worry none.

242
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,919
Speaker 2: Come on, ballum, good night.

243
00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: Jeremiah.

244
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, poor fellow's upset. Can't blame him though, killing a

245
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:21,840
man in cool blood and.

246
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: That never upset Jeremiah the Avenger before Sharon. Jeremiah the Avenger,

247
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,000
that's right. I keep forgetting the reputation he used to have.

248
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,440
I don't think he killed Mason. Oh, he admits to it.

249
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,399
He had plenty of motive. Why he even warned me,

250
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,600
told me weeks ago that if Mason didn't stop hanging

251
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,919
around his place, there'd be troubled.

252
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,279
Speaker 2: I know.

253
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,519
Speaker 1: But he also was so afraid he'd break his word

254
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:47,120
and put on his guns again that he hired me

255
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,320
to keep him out of trouble. Still there he was

256
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,000
when you found him standing over the body, holding his

257
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,919
own gun in his hand.

258
00:14:52,919 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: And that's true.

259
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,799
Speaker 1: That's all evidence, And he judge your jury in need, and.

260
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: It's all circumstantial, isn't it.

261
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, then listen to some more evidence, inferential evidence.

262
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,480
Jeremiah was known to be the deadliest shot in the West,

263
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:09,200
wasn't her? He never took more than one round to

264
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,399
finish off his opponent. He was a great artist. Ezra

265
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:16,279
Mason was murdered by an amateur, a butcher of bullets.

266
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

267
00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:21,279
Speaker 1: Three shots were fired into him, two completely missing the

268
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,639
vital areas, one in the leg, one on the shoulder.

269
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:24,919
Speaker 2: Now at the.

270
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: Third bullet, a lucky blow hadn't gone through the brain,

271
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,759
Mason would be alive this minute. No, Sheriff, you can

272
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:33,639
never convince me that such inept marksmanship with the work

273
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:34,360
of Jeremiah.

274
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,759
Speaker 2: Well, if he didn't do it, who did? Maybe I

275
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:39,080
can find out for you, Sheriff.

276
00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Much much of a Toepritos corn chips.

277
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,519
Speaker 2: It's not polite, It does not your lips.

Speaker 5: Much again, help it with Brito's corn chips munch of

Speaker 5: Munch munch munch of Ventipritos corn chips.

292
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: Polly was still awake when I got back to the ranch.

293
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:55,720
I found her lying back on her chaise loam, surrounded

294
00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:59,200
by flickering candles on the wall where the fireplace hung

295
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:02,679
Jeremiah's unbelt, and as I expected, one of the guns

296
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,759
was missing from its holster.

297
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 3: The sheriff arrested him.

298
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, take his confession, locked him up.

299
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:10,759
Speaker 3: What will they do to him?

300
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: Oh, not a great deal. He'll get out.

301
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: He'll get out the unwritten law, the right of a

302
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,400
man to protect his home and family. Uh, aren't you relieved? No,

303
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:25,680
you hate your husband, don't you.

304
00:17:26,519 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: Of course I hate him. He treated me like the

305
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:34,759
lives talk, like a special and rare specimen Polly his nightbird.

306
00:17:34,839 --> 00:17:37,599
He called me, who leave me? Everything I asked for?

307
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,799
Only only I didn't.

308
00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:41,839
Speaker 2: Love him, But you did love Ezra Mason.

309
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: Yes, and he loved me for I thought he did

310
00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:45,400
until the night.

311
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: And when you found he didn't You killed him.

312
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: I didn't kill him. Jeremarah killed him. He confessed to it.

313
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,039
The Sheriff's arrested him for it.

314
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: He confessed to protect you. Mason was killed with one

315
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,839
of Jeremiah's guns, the one that's missing from that holster

316
00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,680
on the wall there.

317
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: He couldn't have used it.

318
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,079
Speaker 1: He was asleep in the main house you shot Mason,

319
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:07,799
dropped the gun by his body, and ran back here.

320
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,000
Jeremiah was wakened by the noise, so was I. I

321
00:18:12,079 --> 00:18:14,200
found him standing over the body holding the gun because

322
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,799
that's the way he wanted to be found. He knew

323
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:19,240
you had shot Mason, but he wanted it to look

324
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:19,920
like he did.

325
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 3: I may have shot him, but Jeremiah killed him.

326
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,759
Speaker 2: Ah, that doesn't make much sense.

327
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,839
Speaker 3: Do you know why Ezra Mason came here tonight? No,

328
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,079
but I can guess he came here to say goodbye,

329
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:34,680
to call the whole thing off. He was walking out

330
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,000
on me. Why because he loved himself more than he

331
00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:41,640
did me, just like Jeremiah, Just like every man when

332
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,400
the chips are down, they don't know what love he is.

333
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,519
They're the takers of the world. Well, this is one

334
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:51,799
little lady that's been taken for the last time. I'll

335
00:18:51,799 --> 00:18:54,720
tell you why Isra wanted to walk out on me, Paladin,

336
00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:56,599
because he was afraid.

337
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: Afraid.

338
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: He didn't know who Jeremiah really was until you had

339
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,680
to go and tell him.

340
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: I was doing my job.

341
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 3: Oh, you sure were. So when Ezra learned who Jeremiah

342
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:09,359
really was, he didn't waste any time making it clear

343
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,119
that I wasn't worth risking his neck for God, don't

344
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,759
you see, Paladin, he was afraid he was a coward,

345
00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:19,039
and I thought he was a man. A woman'll do

346
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:22,039
anything for a man, but there's only one thing to

347
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:25,519
do for a coward, shoot him, so I did. And

348
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,559
see but it hasn't turned out badly. Really, Jeremiah will

349
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:33,359
be acquitted, and by the time he's free, I'll be gone,

350
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,119
out of his life.

351
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: Gone. But he confessed to this murder to protect you, exactly.

352
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,079
Speaker 3: To buy me to put another bar on my cage.

353
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:43,559
And how he'll use this to make me throw the

354
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:46,480
mark now no longer, I won't be here.

355
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: Where'd he go? I?

356
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,319
Speaker 3: I was thinking of San Francisco. You promised to show

357
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,039
it to me, Remember, I remember? And I believe you're

358
00:19:58,079 --> 00:19:58,880
a man, Balad.

359
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:00,319
Speaker 2: You wouldn't be.

360
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: Afraid of any man, would you, not, even Jeremiah the Avengies.

361
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: Regardless of the question of my personal courage, they're a

362
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,839
matter of my personal integrity.

363
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: I happen to be in the employee of Jeremiah at the.

364
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,319
Speaker 3: Moment, who then quit is of this moment and take

365
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:16,680
me to San Francisco with you?

366
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: Right now?

367
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: You amaze me.

368
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,279
Speaker 3: Don't you find me a tracked?

369
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

370
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:25,319
Speaker 1: Yes, very I don't usually have to ask, I'm sure

371
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:25,480
of that.

372
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: But these are rather unusual circumstances.

373
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:28,799
Speaker 3: You won't regret it.

374
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: You seem to have ignored a rather depressing fact. A

375
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,839
murder has been committed here, and you are the confessed murderer.

376
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,319
Speaker 3: Who knows, but you forget it, Paladin. Come on, let's

377
00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:42,079
get started for San Francisco.

378
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: No, let's get started for town.

379
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,759
Speaker 3: You really mean it, don't you.

380
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,079
Speaker 2: I'm afraid I do. No, No, I won't keep away

381
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:52,519
from there.

382
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,079
Speaker 1: No.

383
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: He hung up his guns because I ask him to.

Speaker 2: If I had to?

390
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,319
