Colt !

Where'll I put these old engine blankets, Mr. Dennison ?

Old ? Well, what do you mean, "old ?"

Oh, Willy, you got an awful lot

to learn about this business, son.

Now, for your information, Willy

that is a genuine hand-woven Navajo work of art.

'This ain't just no ordinary blanket.'

'Now, what you do with a blanket like this ?'

You hang it up on the wall

like a picture for folks to see.

Now how much will you give me..

Here, fold this up and put it away, Willy.

You Dennison ?

Yeah, that's right.

I see you have some guns for sale.

That's right. They go up for auction at the end of the day.

Well, the government wouldn't want them

to fall into the wrong hands.

What are you talking about ?

Gunrunning into Mexico.

Are you the law ?

You might call me that.

Why, I'm not interested in any gun money.

I'm a legitemate businessman.

Well, I'm not accusing you of anything.

But El Paso's on the border

and you're the biggest merchant in these parts.

I wouldn't wanna see you do any business with Cortinez.

That crackpot, he ain't gonna get

any place with his revolution.

Maybe not.

But if does, it won't be with an American weapon.

Alright, mister, you made your point

No gunrunning.

Now, I'm busy, I got an auction coming up.

Not yet you haven't.

Are you gonna stop it ?

I need your cooperation.

I want the name of any man who buys rifles than he can use.

What ?

And the serial number

of every gun you have on hand.

Well, what for ?

Well, if they turn up in Mexico

I'll know where they came from.

Mister, I'm in a legitemate business.

I'm out to move goods, that's all.

Now, what happens to him after that

IS NO concern of mine.

As long as I get paid for it.

Well, I'm making it my concern.

I want those serial numbers, Dennison.

Well then, you'll have to buy 'em

when I put "em up for sale this afternoon."

Or get a court order.

Willy !

Bring out them saddles, will ya ?

- Yes, sir ? - Are you Judge Millard ?

No, no, he takes his son fishin' Saturday mornings.

Should be back soon.

I'll wait.

'You, in town for the auction ?'

You might say that.

I will not buy guns for Cortinez.

I am not in sympathy with your revolution.

Don't make me use force, Ricardo.

If the army didn't have men posted in every border town

looking for us, I'd go in myself.

But you, you're respectable, They won't ask you questions.

Jose, give up this cause, you're an American.

I'm needed in Mexico. Not here.

- But this is your home. - Mine ?

They left everything to you, land, buildings, cattle.

They left me nothing.

Everything for the firstborn.

So you turned to Cortinez.

- Is that your answer ? - Yes.

We're ready to launch on Mexico City.

And nothing can stop us.

After that, the name Delgado will mean something.

Once Delgado was an honorable name.

You've made a mockery of out heritage.

Don't lecture me.

Stay here, Jose. Settle down, farm the land.

I don't want your charity.

- Buenos dias , Inez. - Good morning, Ricardo.

'I have baked fresh rolls for your coffee.'

Thank you.

Have you no good morning for me ?

Oh, come, Inez. It's been five long years.

Why do you not speak to me ?

What should I say when you come in here with your two pigs ?

Shouting orders.

Threatening with knives.

Keeping us prisoners.

Enough, Inez.

Was I not like a mother to you ?

Forty years I have spent in this house.

Nursing you through sickness and...

Enough.

Go back to your kitchen.

What would your poor dead parents say

if they could see you now ?

That the black sheep has returned

to cause more trouble.

Inez and everybody else always had it in for me around here.

You're wrong, Jose.

You were always her favorite.

Ricardo, go to El Paso.

Bring back the guns.

No.

Carlos !

I have heard.

You will go.

Remember, your wife is in our hands.

Bud, you said the judge would be back soon.

What part of the river does he usually fish ?

Well, that depends on which way they're running,

You better stay here and wait though.

You'd never find him.

I'm goin' over to have a look at that auction.

I got no money to buy anything.

But I'll stick in a few bids anyway.

'Sold !'

To Mr. Bob Freeman,

this beautiful hand-tuned saddle.

Bob, you're a lucky man, I know that you

and your horse will enjoy this saddle.

Bring in the next item, will you, Willie ?

Take that away. Lot 26.

I'll give you $2,500 for the entire lot of rifles.

You mean you wanna buy 'em all ?

Yes.

Well, Willy was going to hold them

till the last but I ain't a man

to pass up a bargain like this.

If you want to, you can use one of my wagons

just haul 'em all out.

Alright, folks, there's been a slight change in schedule here.

I've been requested

to sell these 200 rifles

in one lot.

Now that means, we're just gonna hurry the thing along

just a little bit faster.

Ain't fair.

I rode 40 miles to buy me a rifle.

Alright. Now, Frank, you're gonna till you're satisfied.

Everybody is. Now, folks, I got an opening bid.

At $2,500, from Mr. Richard Delgado.

'Now, I gotta have a second bid to make it legal.'

Alright. How about my trader friend here

the gentleman from the territory of New Mexico ?

$2,700.

$2,700. Thank you.

And I've got a sale started. Thank you.

$3,000.

$3,000. That's the way to keep it going, my friend.

Sir, you gonna let him get away with it ?

$3,200.

$3,200. Thank you.

[, I must remind you, Mr. Delgado

that you're bidding against a very shrewd trader there.

$5,000.

$5,000. That's a very respectable bid.

And I thank you, sir. Sigh.

No. It's too rich for my blood.

$5,000. I've got $5,000 once.

Twice. Three Times.

And sold to Mr. Richard Delgado. $5,000.

'Get in there, Willy. And show 'em how it's used.'

Now, folks, everybody at the buyers want these stuff

and for the hard-to-reach spots of your back

I'm gonna give away absolutely free

one of these back brushes.

To everybody that buys one.

Alright, Willy, start scrubbing.

Hey, Ed, you gave him a left-handed brush

instead of a right-handed one.

Dennison !

I've got a paper here that says you can't sell those guns

without my say so.

Well, mister, that piece of paper is just about

as worthless as a snowball in Hades.

We sold the entire lot.

You said you weren't going to sell them till later.

Well, we changed plans.

You'll have to take your troubles to Mr. Delgado.

He bought the entire lot.

Well, where is he now ?

West, out of town.

He has a ranch out there.

- Thanks. - Alright.

Alright, folks, I'm waiting for somebody

to give me a bid on this item.

Oh, Willy, Willy, Willy, wait a minute

stop scrubbin', boy, stop scrubbin'.

Delgado.

Yes, what is it ?

I'm impounding those rifles.

These guns are my property. They're bought and paid for.

So, I've heard.

You mind telling me what you're doing

with 200 of them ?

What difference does it make ?

I don't have to answer your questions.

I've got a court order here that says you do.

I've broken no laws.

I want to keep it that way.

You'll get a reciept.

You decide to talk, you'll find me and the rifles

at Dennison's warehouse.

'Now, get down.'

Jose ! Your brother is coming.

Will you please leave me alone ? Go away.

Must this stupid oaf always follow me around ?

He's obeying orders. Now what do you want ?

To see my husband.

Or do you object to that too ?

We will see him when we are through.

Now get back to your room.

I'll wait here.

- Miguel. - Si, Jefe. Senora.

- Please. - Take your hands off of me.

Let go of me.

- Where's Jessica ? - Nobody's touched her. Well ?

Your guns were impounded by an army man.

- They're back at the warehouse. - What happened ?

I bought them and he took them back.

You see, there happens to be a law against gunrunning

and he enforced it.

Here's your reciept.

Take it and get your men off my ranch.

I don't go back empty-handed.

Miguel will stay here. I will attend to this matter myself.

1-9-0-6-7-6.

That takes care of this box.

Just a few more to go.

Why don't you get us some coffee and sandwiches ?

Restaurant's closed.

Well, scrounge around, see what you can find.

Start loading the wagon.

And now back to "Colt .45.."

Here's your coffee and sandwiches, mister..

Mr. Colt !

You alright ? What happened ?

I had an unexpected visitor.

Someone who wanted guns in an awful hurry.

- Who is it ? - 'I have to see Mr. Delgado.'

It is late. Come back tomorrow.

'Let him in, Inez.'

- Go to bed, Inez. - Who can sleep ?

What a night.

Never have I seen such things.

Senor.

I've been expecting you.

I want some straight and fast answers.

I can tell you nothing.

Where are those rifles ?

You're wasting your time.

I know you're involved in this, Delgado

and gunrunning is a federal offense.

I'm taking you to see the sheriff.

I might even arrange a stint in jail to loosen your tongue.

He has done nothing.

- Inez ! - I will not be silent.

Shall I watch you bear the burden for your brother

The boy is mad with his revolution and his guns.

'He will not speak because he fears for his wife.'

Jose has taken her hostage to Vayessa

so that Ricardo will not send the law after him.

Let him have the guns. There is no other way.

How are you going to explain to the Mexican government

that American rifles fell into the hands of revolutionists ?

If your wife was being held hostage, what would you do ?

Mister, she wouldn't be taken in the first place.

Even if it meant killing your own brother to prevent it ?

Well, if it's any consolation to you, you have my sympathy.

No !

'Alright.'

Get down off that horse.

I thought you'd follow me but I never even saw you.

I was raised here. I know these hills.

'I'm sorry, Mr. Colt. But I cannot let you follow them.'

Now, dismount.

If you try to stop him, he'll kill her.

You've got to listen to me.

- Go home to your ranch. - No. Let me go with you.

Sorry, friend.

If I talk to Jose,

maybe he won't kill her.

They're already in Mexico, they have nothing to fear.

Look, I know the route he's taken, I can show you.

What's to prevent him from killing you ?

I'll take that risk.

Delgado, you're a fool.

And I'm a bigger one for making the deal.

'Go get your horse.'

Thank you, senor.

Eat.

I do not eat with bandits.

Then go hungry.

Maybe when we reach Pallazo, we do not send her back ?

She will go back. As I promised.

Go ahead.

Good luck.

- 'Who is it ?' - I wish to speak to my brother.

- Who is with you ? - I am alone.

'Esta bien. Vamonos.'

I warned you not to follow us.

Jose, you must listen to me.

I do not like this. It is a trick. I can smell it.

Is it such a great request to make of a brother ?

I said I would send Jessica back.

Let me take her now.

Why ? Why is it so important ?

If you had someone to love, you'd understand.

I haven't any time for sentiment, Ricardo.

Please, Jose.

Don't argue with him.

We can take no chances.

I will decide that.

Something goes wrong, you will answer to the Hennenra..

What can go wrong ?

I say, release them in Palazzo.

What difference can a day make ?

When the guns are delivered, then you can go.

Jose, the wagon.

Stay here.

'Help !'

You lied. You did not come alone.

- For this, you die. - Hold on. No, no.

Carlos ! Drop your gun.

Ricardo.

Take me back.

Back to our family.

Mr. Colt ?

Will there be a public investigation ?

The name of Delgado has been honored.

It still is.

Your brother died honorably.

Thank you, sir.

In our next story, the search for a dangerous killer

is violence, passion and heartbreak.

That is where you are wrong, mister.

And if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be in this mess.

I hate that man's guts and if I'm gonna swing

that loop is gonna be swinging right beside me.

You bring her back ?

If you cut me loose.

What about Ben ?

They'll hang me, ma.

It's your choice, Mrs. Thorpe.

"Your daughter or your son.'

Luke ! Luke !

Ben ! Ben, is that you ?

Look out, Luke, it's a trap.

Drop the gun, Reid.

- What is this ? - Your luck's run out.

Don't be too sure, mister.

Too bad I don't have time to build you a pine box.

For excitement and suspense, join us for "Night Of decision".
