[Music]

well there she is Mother you sit back

now and Mar lift the hands open and shut

the gate 10 years Ben but it was worth

it every minute you can see it was worth

it

[Music]

you boys going through you got quite

honor in store see as how you're the

first ones to go through this toll road

we've been watching you work old

man that's a pretty cheap price you're

charging considering the fact this

Canyon Road saves a 100 miles of

traveling through the desert not looking

to make off

anybody just enough to see me and the

woman through the

years I don't stand not on ceremony so

here we

go thought maybe we could do some

business take the road off your

hand man don't sell a lifetime of work

wouldn't take no money for the

road don't take

money maybe I'll take six of these

[Music]

a

[Music]

that toll road was a Dawson's whole life

Marshall finding them gone and somebody

else owning it was like being let down

by somebody you counted on I don't

understand it then disappearing just

like that ever say anything to your PA

about selling on no sir the last time I

was up there I told alen Dawson that P

had finally made up his mind to head

West

both she and her folks knew that P

wanted to be the first one through that

road when it was finished Davey they

owned the property they had a right to

sell if they wanted to I tell you they

had no intention of selling out if they

had I would have known about it these

men who say they own the property now

you ever seen them before do you know

anything at all about them I figured

when the road was finished and P and us

boys went through Ellen would be gone

with us as my

wife

Davey women change their minds no not

Ellen those men won't tell us a thing

about the Dawson or where they went I

don't even know where to start looking

for

Ellen Marshall you got to help me find

her I've known the Dawson a long time

almost as long as it took Ben Dawson to

build that

road I'm as anxious as you are to find

out what

happened of course I can't promise to

find out whether Ellen still wants to

marry you or not that's something you

have to do for yourself come on come on

[Music]

baby oh now don't go making those nice

folks mad by wasting that water

[Music]

you better not try doing that when that

wagon runs out of drinking

water hey Dave's here PA Marshall's with

him sure enough made Barrel in time

didn't expect you back for two more days

Marshall Buck's doing Lester took me 3

days to get to Santa Fe only two getting

Marshall what about tomorrow we're going

to be in a bad way for water your cattle

seem to be in a bad way now Mr colan

been without water about a week too late

to turn back now we'd lose them all and

there's no access to that water over

there except through their

land but a wagon and 40 head to go

through they're asking

$400 real obliging like they're willing

to take 16 head in

payment Davey already told me how you

happen to pick the tow Road Mr Coleman

oh well Davey and Dawson's daughter have

been mighty sweet on each other for

quite a while we were kind of looking

forward to being Dawson's first

customers

I haven't seen the Dawson in two years

but it say selling out the tow Road was

the last thing in Ben Dawson's

mind he's coming in

now get over the stove be getting us

some

coffee go

we told you don't be doing any thinking

on your own

[Music]

things like

you it's

[Music]

open hello Marshall hey I watch you

coming off the ridge I must admit Mighty

glad to see a marshall around here

straighten some things

out what's the matter Marshall you look

like you come off a 3mon Trail Drive I

hope you can fix it with those people

out front we're not looking for trouble

but they're certainly asking for it

where Ben Dawson and his

wife well I figured there somewh east of

the Mississippi by

now Ellen where are your mother and

father Marshall I guess you don't hear

so

good I thought Apaches Hur better than

regular human

[Music]

beings where are your folks

[Music]

East they went East if your folks went

East why did you stay behind oh now gal

stays with her husband Marshall she sure

don't go tracking off after heran PA

when she's got a man to sweet talk her

here Ellen did you marry this man I'd

look the man in the eye honey and tell

him why you stayed behind instead of

going with your m

andp

just stay with my

husband traveling preacher maybe You'

seen him wandering around by the name of

Simpson honey go fish that little old

piece of paper that preacher Simpson

Left Behind he's a Marshall's

mind I got this piece of paper here it's

a bill aale for the road that's Dawson's

marking it this is daughter's witnessing

signature right

there one

$1,000 yeah I jumped at it fast haning

for some of that Eastern Town

life 10 years

work guess it's your Indian blood a

marshall makes you suspicious over

straight facts I have an instinct for

anything

[Music]

rotten legal and binding she's got me

tied up tighter than the camp Brandon

time I got no complaints so far she sure

is a good cook hey Marshall why don't we

go out and take care of that Ruckus out

front talk some sense into the Coleman

[Music]

H Helen I noticed your father's horses

when I came

in why did he leave him behind what

transportation did he use when he went

East a GI up with a wagon coming through

I didn't ask you I told you the col have

been out front for a week they didn't

mention seeing the girl well she's been

kind of busy setting up a

house and I think you've worn out your

welcome Marshall yeah I can only take so

much Apache around me myself this place

is beginning to smell

[Music]

what did I tell you about staring at

that

[Music]

Corral maybe you need some more

educating

who's your sweet talking boy

you

Marshall Marshall you look at it my way

once I let these people through cheap

I'm going to have this whole Road

blocked with lots of more people wanting

to

sa are you going to sit here by a good

supply of water and watch that cattle

die we got this road up for sale there's

a Cattleman's Association right now can

considering whether they're going to buy

the road or pay the toll we want them to

buy the road that doesn't answer my

question I don't know the Coleman's

nothing all they can send all that

cattle in let them drink their

fill give them back three for every five

they send in two I'll keep for the price

of

water why not keep the

five that wouldn't be na Marshall

Benson I don't understand why the Dawson

so out to you or why a once Lively and

carefree girl is married to scum like

your

partner but you won't see me ride away

until I

do we own this road legal Marshall legal

and that girl's married to Healey legal

and she's a witness to our Buy in the

road and there's not a thing you can do

about

it and Marshall you tell those Coleman

that everything on this side of the

fence is private property and the first

man that opens that gate I'm going to

shoot and I'll Stand Up in any C and

they're going to tell me I had the right

to

[Music]

shoot he sounds like he's got plenty of

law on his side Marshall well they have

a bill of sale for the road which means

I can use a property as I see

fit get that girl out there for some

water let her go to the well what

happens when the Coleman kid sees her he

asked about her the first time he came

here already known she's here if there's

going to be a show down I want it now

while that Marshall's here to

watch wouldn't be too hard busting down

that gate Marshall we'd have three guns

against that too no Davey you touch that

gate and they could shoot you down all I

could do is Stand By and

Watch

[Music]

H hey P P that's

enen hey Ellen don't disturb

official witness dve

[Music]

dve I see what you mean about a

showdown now there's a real helping

Marshall is this your kind of law

Marshall shooting down a boy

I'm sorry Mr Coleman I had no

choice kind of quit thinking

Marshall kind of good to have you around

too yeah I think I'll write a nice

letter to his boss make it real flower

tell him what a good job he

does I'd be obliged Marshall if you do

me and my boys a favor go back to Santa

Fe that way we'd have one less gun to

face when we go through here

I don't think I'm asking too much for

you to take this kind of LW

elsewhere not too much weight on that

leg son I don't want you down with a

fever oh it's not bother me

[Music]

none Mr

Coleman a gunfight here is not the

answer let me tell you something

Marshall if you still feel you can call

yourself that I've never amounted to

much most of my life raised in this

small herd me and my wife God Rest us

all but a man built for Sons not much

maybe but he does what he can most of my

life's behind me now and there's not

much for me to lose at this point so I'm

going all out mind you all out to see

that my boys get every last head to

where we're settling

I can't get over it shot him a federal

Marshall knocked his legs right out from

under yeah feels kind of good having a

law on our side for a change

yeah get it and get right back in

here she's like a parate now only thing

is a parate Ain't So cuddly Mr Coleman I

need time to find out what's behind

these men taken over here time Mr

Coleman not guns me and my boys are men

we've been raised that way someone

moving in with these

[Music]

guns give me 1 Hour 1 hour won't make

any difference to you it may to me

that's all I'm

[Music]

asking

[Music]

a Ellen let me do that for

[Music]

you Helen you do remember me don't you

Sam

buckard you used to call me Marshall

[Music]

Sam

Helen what about

Davey you must remember

him what about those horses Ellen

they seem to remind you of something

what is

it thought you came out to get

water I was talking to

her you mean you were talking to my wife

Apache and I don't like

[Music]

it Ellen do you want to stay here with

these men Marshall taken sides just

ain't wearing a badge no

longer I think she should answer the

question go ahead honey answer the

man tell him where you'd rather

be with

him or here with your loving

man here with

you now go back inside and finish you

cleaning you start heading for the gate

run don't come back way I see it even a

private citizen can protect himself from

a federal

Marshal

well looks like I let my own personal

feelings stand in the

way anytime a law officer does that he's

bound to cause himself trouble you're

getting smarter every minute Deputy now

that I'm seeing things the way a

marshall should I'm forced to admit you

had the law on your side all the way

that's what I've been trying to tell you

but you ain't been

listening I have no choice but to listen

now I guess the only business I have

left is to make out a copy of your bill

of sale and to file it took you long

enough to come around our man starts

talking reasonable I guess I can be

reasonable

too all right let's do it

[Music]

inside

what do you make of that

P I'd say the law was settling for the

stronger side but he said an hour and

we're giving it to

him yeah have a drink
