What's going on, Micah?

Dan Maury's in there.

I thought you sent him to yuma prison 5 years ago.

I did, but they let him out.

Cripplin' my arm 5 years ago wasn't bad enough, now he's

Here to kill me.

How long has it been like this?

Ever since Maury rode in last night.

Well, I take it you haven't been to bed, then?

Nope, and as long as he's in there, I'm stayin' right here.

Ah, that could be quite a while, Micah.

Yeah, I know.

Anybody offered to stand with you?

No, I can't say that I blame 'em. Nobody in this town's good

Enough to go against Maury, and they all know it! Besides, it's

None of their business anyhow.

Goin' somewhere?

No.

That's what I thought.

How long you figure he's going to stay in there, Micah?

All depends, as long as I got this, I don't think he'll be

Fool enough to try anything.

You think he's bluffing?

Maybe. He's had a lot of time to think while he was in yuma.

Could be he's just havin' a lil' fun, and sooner or later he'll

Get tired and... ride on out.

And if he doesn't?

Lucas, I can't use my badge for a personal grievance.

Micah, if Maury is here to get revenge...

I can't just go in there and take him. He hasn't done

Anything.

Well, I'll go see what I can do.

You got no cause for sticking your neck out on account of...

You got no cause for sticking your neck out on account of...

Beer, Sweeney.

You know, when I was rottin' away in yuma, we used to sit up

All night sometimes just talking, and every now and then,

Someone would start remembering about a big ugly sodbuster

With a rifle like that one. Say he was called the rifleman. His

Gun was faster than any sidearm in the territory. Is that true,

Sodbuster?

You want proof?

Suppose I just told you I came in here for a drink of

Whiskey. What would you say to that, sodbuster?

Well, I'd say if anything happens to Micah Torrance,

You answer to me.

Am I breaking the law?

Am I doing something wrong?

Just your being here is wrong.

Why? I served my time. I'm a free man, sodbuster, just like

You. Ha! You know what I think?

I think the marshal's got you all riled up about nothing,

That's what I think. He's across the street right now, just

Waiting for me to start something. Now, sodbuster,

Why would I wanna start something? If I ain't fool

Enough to go up against that rifle of yours, I'm sure not

Gonna go up against a shotgun, especially one like the

Marshal's with the steel balls in it. I mean, take last night,

I rode into town, and I came in here with a pure thirst for

Drinking whiskey. In fact, I was so thirsty I stayed here all

Night. Ain't that right, bartender?

Then come daylight this morning, I look across the street, what

Do you think I saw? Old Micah, standing there with that

Shotgun of his. I bet you he was standing there all night long,

Knowing I was in here. What do you suppose would happen now if

I developed a real thirst and stayed here maybe 3 or 4 days,

And all night, too? Micah'd sure get sleepy, old man like that.

I bet you he'd just plain fall asleep on his feet. Then I could

Walk up to him, take his shotgun away, and he'd have nothing

Left but that sidearm of his, just like it was 5 years ago.

That's enough. You're riding out of here right now.

Is that you, or your gun talkin'?

Now you hear me and hear me

Good. Like I said, anything happens to Micah Torrance,

You answer to me. I don't care where, or when, or how, you

Answer to me. Now get out of here.

Maybe they'll be more friendly in the next town.

Maybe.

I want you to remember something, marshal, you ain't

Always gonna have him to hide behind.

Do you think he'll be back?

No, I don't think so. He's got a lot of respect for that

Shotgun of yours, and he's already had a taste of this

Rifle.

I hope so, I could sure do with some shuteye.

Yeah, you better get some sleep. I'll be in from time to

Time, and mark will be coming back and forth from school. If

There's any trouble, I'll know about it.

Whiskey.

Pa?

Pa?

Pa, you're all shot up!

Who did it?

I don't know, son, I was chopping the wood... Ow!

Come on, pa.

The doc's gotta see this.

Can you make it to town?

I'll try, son. Get the buckboard.

Get my rifle, Mark.

Your rifle?! You won't be using it with that arm.

Do as I say, son.

Yes, pa.

Hyah!

Whoa! Pa's been shot. Where's the doc, marshal?

He's right in the hotel, son.

Doctor! Doctor Burrage!

Doctor Burrage!

Come on, Lucas boy, I'll give you a hand.

Did you see him, Lucas? Did you see who did this to you?

No.

How about mark?

No.

Come on now, take it easy now. Come here, boy.

Mark, get my rifle.

You can quit worrying about that rifle. You aren't gonna

Shoot that gun 'til your arm gets better.

Mark, you hear me?!

Marshal, what's the street so empty for?

Why, is it, son? I... I hadn't noticed.

If you were another hair closer, you wouldn't have had a

head. Think I'll leave that exposed to the air.

I believe it'll do more good than a bandage. I don't

want you to go trying to move it around. I gave you some pills to

Make you sleep. I want you to figure on staying in that bed

until sometime tomorrow.

Can I take him home then, doc?

If he don't get a fever, you can. Still feeling dizzy?

No, doc, it's a lot easier.

It's them pills working. I'll leave them in this bottle right

Here. I want you to go to sleep, and I'll be in the first thing

in the morning to take a look at you. If you need me, mark,

I'm right down the hall.

I guess you're gonna be alright, huh, pa?

I guess, son.

Well, then, you sleep like the doc said.

Maury.

That's right, marshal, it's me. Too bad you fell asleep. You

were gonna use this thing on me, weren't you?

That'd've blown a big hole in me, wouldn't it?

Alright, how do you want it?

Same as before, marshal, out in the street, a fair gunfight.

I don't have the gun hand I used to have, Maury, I... guess

You know that.

I know that.

Get out there.

That's far enough, marshal.

Now turn around and draw!

Maury.

Lucas.

Well, looky here, I got a marshal what can't shoot, and a

Sodbuster that can hardly hold his rifle up. Sodbuster, you're

No better off than you were yesterday by that woodpile.

Maury, don't you ever give anybody an even break?

Nah.

Micah, when I walk in front of you, draw your

Gun, and make it good.

I told you, Maury, I don't care where...

or when, or how.

Lucas? Lucas boy?

Come on, I'll get you in the hotel. Easy now.

Get yourself shot again?

How about you?

Pa!

We're both alright.

Dad-Blammit, Lucas, I told you to stay in bed!

Sorry I gave you so much trouble.

Well, you just remember what I told you. Work that arm and

Shoulder in easy. I don't want to come out there and find you

Chopping wood or something.

Don't worry, doc, I'll behave myself.

You look after him, Mark.

Yes, sir.

Lucas, see you around.

Let's go home, son.

Hyah!
