[rapid gunfire]

00:00:06,170 --> 00:00:13,050
NARRATOR: The Rifleman.

3
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:16,170
Starring Chuck Connors.

4
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:27,020
[man shouting]

5
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:33,000
[shouting]

00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:40,050
[shouting]

7
00:00:43,070 --> 00:00:45,090
[speaking spanish]

8
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,200
Hello.

9
00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:49,020
What you are observing
is a private matter

10
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:51,190
being settled in a private way.

11
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:53,070
What did he do?

12
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:55,220
One does not take the
wine without permission.

13
00:00:56,010 --> 00:00:57,120
Even when one is thirsty.

14
00:00:57,150 --> 00:00:59,050
[screaming]

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,010
No--

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,090
[screaming]

17
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:06,000
All he did was steal
a little bit of wine?

18
00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:08,200
Patron's personal French wine.

19
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:10,100
Now, I advise you to leave here.

20
00:01:10,130 --> 00:01:11,170
Pronto!

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,140
Yes, sir.

22
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:21,030
[screaming]

23
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:24,210
[inaudible].

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,180
Enough.

25
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,190
Put him back on his horse.

26
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:32,040
[speaking french]

27
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:36,030
We must arrive while
there's still light enough,

28
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,060
so that we make a proper
impression on the good citizens

29
00:01:39,090 --> 00:01:40,150
of the city of North Fork.

30
00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:58,170
Well, it looks like
they're coming our way, son.

31
00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:05,190
I tell ya, Pa, I've never
seen anything like it.

32
00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:07,170
The way that-- fat little
man was looking at--

33
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,140
All right, Mark.

34
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:10,010
You just keep on working.

35
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,180
Like the man said, it
was a private matter.

36
00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:13,190
We'll just act natural,
and hope they keep moving.

37
00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:31,150
Bonjour, monsieur.

38
00:02:31,180 --> 00:02:33,010
Good day.

39
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,010
I am Cesar Tiffauges
of New Orleans.

40
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,180
You have, perhaps, heard of me?

41
00:02:37,210 --> 00:02:39,120
No, we've never
been that far east.

42
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:41,110
No?

43
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:43,160
Well, this, at least,
is more comfortable

44
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:45,160
than to be known too much.

45
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:46,130
Schuette?

46
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,100
Oui, monsieur.

47
00:02:47,130 --> 00:02:48,120
Much more comfortable.

48
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:49,090
Yeah.

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,020
It's better, anyway, as Texas.

50
00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:53,020
These ranchers-- ha!

51
00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:55,010
All they can tell us is
move along, move along.

52
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,150
Shake along!

53
00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:58,130
Xavier.

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,160
[speaking french] Ah-- you have
not yet introduced yourself.

55
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:05,090
The name's Lucas McCain.

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,000
This is my boy, Mark.

57
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:08,020
[speaking french]

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,060
You really crossed the whole
state of Texas in this rig?

59
00:03:12,090 --> 00:03:14,080
And why not?

60
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:17,000
You must have got
stuck in 50 sand pockets.

61
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:22,100
Monsieur-- I have stuck
in 150 sand pockets.

62
00:03:22,130 --> 00:03:24,060
It was no problem.

63
00:03:24,090 --> 00:03:27,210
These fellows of mine, they
have ropes on their saddles.

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
So I make them harness
themselves, and I--

65
00:03:32,030 --> 00:03:34,030
I said here, I take a
whip-- give me the whip.

66
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:35,160
Give me the whip!

67
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:37,010
And I call on them.

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,220
[shouting]

69
00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:48,030
Animal.

70
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:50,140
What did you say, Xavier?

71
00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:51,210
Nothing, sir.

72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,190
Nothing?

73
00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:53,160
Nothing?

74
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,230
What?

75
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:01,060
Don't interfere, monsieur.

76
00:04:01,090 --> 00:04:02,110
Just keep the
whip in its place

77
00:04:02,140 --> 00:04:05,030
while you're on my property.

78
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:07,160
But monsieur, you
do not understand.

79
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:10,220
[speaking french]
It's all in fun.

80
00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:12,040
Xavier?

81
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:13,010
Yes.

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,150
Si.

83
00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:15,230
Hear all that?

84
00:04:16,020 --> 00:04:19,080
Now, monsieur, um--
with your kindness,

85
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:23,160
we look for a city
called North Fork.

86
00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:25,100
Go on churning the butter,
Mark, before it gets too thick.

87
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:31,210
Well, I'm afraid North
Fork isn't much of a town.

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,190
Yes, yes, we know.

89
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:34,010
No matter.

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,100
Perhaps you'd be so kind
enough to show us the way?

91
00:04:37,130 --> 00:04:39,070
You go up over that
rise, turn right,

92
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,170
and you'll come to a road.

93
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,110
The sign there will
show you the way.

94
00:04:44,140 --> 00:04:47,170
Very nice little place
you have here, McCain.

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,140
We like it.

96
00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:50,030
All 4,100 acres.

97
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:53,020
So much?

98
00:04:53,050 --> 00:05:00,210
Imagine that, [speaking french]
McCain here is a big landowner.

99
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,200
[spitting] Most convenient here.

100
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:05,170
Oui, monsieur.

101
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,210
Most convenient.

102
00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:21,170
Careful, my friend.

103
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,070
You'll blister your
trigger finger.

104
00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:30,020
Oh!

105
00:05:30,050 --> 00:05:31,040
It's nothing, senor.

106
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,060
Maybe I take this place
off your hands, huh?

107
00:05:38,090 --> 00:05:41,020
I wish to retire
to the wild life

108
00:05:41,050 --> 00:05:42,210
of this part of the country.

109
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,230
It's not for sale.

110
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:48,080
You hear that, you fellas?

111
00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:52,150
The McCain Estate is
not on the market.

112
00:05:52,180 --> 00:05:55,080
Monsieur McCain, the
boss owns 25 blocks

113
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:57,070
of New Orleans waterfront.

114
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,000
That was not for sale, either.

115
00:05:59,030 --> 00:06:00,110
At least, not at the time.

116
00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:02,050
I've been meaning to ask--

117
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,170
just what was it the
Texas Rangers had on you?

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Monsieur, please do
observe these carriage lamps.

119
00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:09,210
Sterling silver.

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,170
Do I have to answer questions to
some petty rancher with manure

121
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,120
on his boots?
- No, no, monsieur.

122
00:06:15,150 --> 00:06:16,170
We will talk to him.

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,200
No, no.
No sweat.

124
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:21,210
He and I will discuss
it again tomorrow.

125
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,080
You'll be in town
tomorrow, monsieur?

126
00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:25,100
I'll be there, mister.

127
00:06:25,130 --> 00:06:26,230
To pick up supplies.

128
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,020
Good.

129
00:06:28,050 --> 00:06:29,230
Then we have an appointment.

130
00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:31,180
Don't forget.

131
00:06:31,210 --> 00:06:34,080
I'm going to be real
busy, so don't count on it.

132
00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:35,160
[speaking french]

133
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:55,200
Amigo, try not to be too busy.

134
00:06:55,230 --> 00:06:57,220
It is nice to be
congenial to the patron.

135
00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:59,220
You'll learn this
pretty soon, I think.

136
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:01,150
You like being horsewhipped?

137
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:04,180
Yankee, I tell you
something for your own good.

138
00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:06,230
To be horsewhipped by Senor
Tiffauges is a privilege.

139
00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:09,140
It's an honor!

140
00:07:09,170 --> 00:07:12,030
Xavier.

141
00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:13,130
You're too much of
a man to mean that.

142
00:07:18,130 --> 00:07:21,080
Pa?

143
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:23,100
How come you let Tiffauges
talk to you like that?

144
00:07:23,130 --> 00:07:24,170
Now look, son--

145
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,140
I am a small rancher, I
have got manure on my boots,

146
00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:28,110
and south of the
border I'm a Yankee.

147
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:30,140
You want me to start gun
trouble with an army like that?

148
00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:32,110
Well, gosh, no, Pa.

149
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:34,030
It's time you were getting
cleaned up for dinner.

150
00:07:34,060 --> 00:07:35,220
We'll eat early so you
can get a good rest.

151
00:07:36,010 --> 00:07:37,120
We'll be having a
full day tomorrow.

152
00:07:37,150 --> 00:07:38,120
All right, Pa.

153
00:07:44,050 --> 00:07:45,020
You coming?

154
00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:46,140
In a minute, son.

155
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,210
Enough, sir.
Enough.

156
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,020
No more.
- Oh, no, no, monsieur.

157
00:08:14,050 --> 00:08:15,020
Have no apprehensions.

158
00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:17,060
A nice little white.

159
00:08:17,090 --> 00:08:18,220
I always travel
with a dozen or so

160
00:08:19,010 --> 00:08:21,110
cases for my special friends.

161
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:25,020
For others, the local
ought to be sufficient.

162
00:08:25,050 --> 00:08:30,110
Yes, monsieur I-- always try
to bring a little culture

163
00:08:30,140 --> 00:08:32,010
and civilization wherever I go.

164
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,130
Here comes your rancher.

165
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,000
Marshal?

166
00:08:40,030 --> 00:08:41,140
That farmer on the wagon--

167
00:08:41,170 --> 00:08:43,150
I wish to speak to him.

168
00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:45,180
- Lucas McCain?
- Mm.

169
00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:47,110
Well, sir, I'll be
right glad to tell him.

170
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:49,050
Only he might--

171
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,070
Whether he'll be glad or not,
be so kind to bring him here.

172
00:08:54,180 --> 00:08:56,220
I'll see what I can do.

173
00:08:57,010 --> 00:08:59,160
This really tastes different
from anything I ever ate.

174
00:08:59,190 --> 00:09:02,140
Monsieur, after
I buy my property,

175
00:09:02,170 --> 00:09:05,060
you'll be my guest to
enjoy many such delicacies.

176
00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:05,210
Thank you very much.

177
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,120
Patron?

178
00:09:07,150 --> 00:09:10,200
Oh, you wish to say
something, Xavier?

179
00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:14,070
Jefe, there are many other
ranches all around here.

180
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:15,100
Twice as bigger.

181
00:09:15,130 --> 00:09:16,180
Twice as better.

182
00:09:16,210 --> 00:09:18,010
Mm.

183
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,140
It is a strange thing
with me, mon ami.

184
00:09:20,170 --> 00:09:23,170
Always I desire
the one that is--

185
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,170
not for sale.

186
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000
My time's not altogether my
own, so if you'll excuse me?

187
00:09:28,030 --> 00:09:29,030
Oh, yes.

188
00:09:29,060 --> 00:09:30,150
Yes, of course.

189
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:32,130
I'll be seeing you,
monsieur the banker.

190
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,150
[hiccup] Oh.

191
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:36,040
He wants to see ya.

192
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:37,200
I know he does.

193
00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:39,020
I never seen anything like it.

194
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:41,150
He's got a whole
town crawling to him.

195
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:43,060
First thing last
night, he deposited

196
00:09:43,090 --> 00:09:46,070
85,000 gold in the bank.

197
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:47,100
Here's your nickel.

198
00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:48,150
Go buy your sucker sticks.

199
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:50,000
Thanks, Pa.

200
00:09:50,030 --> 00:09:54,010
Micah, how does a man get
his hooks into $85,000 gold?

201
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,180
Here's a bulletin
come in on the morning.

202
00:09:55,210 --> 00:09:56,220
Stage.

203
00:09:57,010 --> 00:10:00,070
A warning to all stops,
and the Texas Rangers.

204
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:03,100
This, uh-- Tiffauges is
the king of organized vice

205
00:10:03,130 --> 00:10:06,030
for the whole New Orleans area.

206
00:10:06,060 --> 00:10:07,190
And now he wants to
retire in North Fork.

207
00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:10,120
Yeah, he stopped at my
on the way in yesterday.

208
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:12,200
Wants to take it off my hands.

209
00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:14,110
I, uh-- I think
I'll go out and try

210
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:16,100
to deputize a few of the boys.

211
00:10:16,130 --> 00:10:17,210
You wait here for me, Lucas.

212
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,200
No, I'll go out
and talk to him.

213
00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:22,020
They're all cutthroats,
every one of them.

214
00:10:22,050 --> 00:10:24,040
It's not a one man proposition.

215
00:10:24,070 --> 00:10:26,190
I know, but I don't want to
start a small war in the middle

216
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:29,020
of town over what right now is
a personal affair between me

217
00:10:29,050 --> 00:10:30,010
and him.

218
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,070
But Lucas,
sometimes these can--

219
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:32,100
Look, Pa.

220
00:10:32,130 --> 00:10:33,230
Five for the big penny size.

221
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:36,180
Orange, lemon, wintergreen,
licorice, and peppermint.

222
00:10:36,210 --> 00:10:37,170
Later, son.

223
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,070
Here he comes, monsieur.

224
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:48,220
I hear he's pretty fast
with that gun he carries.

225
00:10:49,010 --> 00:10:51,100
Por dios, he carries it as
if it was part of his hand.

226
00:10:51,130 --> 00:10:54,050
You lose now your nerve, huh?

227
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,110
Patron, if it were possible
for Xavier Escobar to fear any

228
00:10:57,140 --> 00:10:59,090
one man, you would not
for two minutes keep

229
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,210
him in your [inaudible], huh?

230
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,220
[speaking french]

231
00:11:03,010 --> 00:11:06,070
Xavier, never forget
to be afraid of me.

232
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,090
No, Jefe.

233
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,000
Xavier.

234
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:10,030
Sit down.

235
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:11,000
Sit down.

236
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:12,030
Have a drink.

237
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:13,140
No, thank you.

238
00:11:13,170 --> 00:11:17,160
But monsieur-- we Creoles of
Louisiana are very friendly,

239
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:19,220
but proud people.

240
00:11:20,010 --> 00:11:22,040
If then, before
my entourage, you

241
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:25,040
refuse my offer of
a small refreshment,

242
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:27,050
what am I to think?

243
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,000
Go load the wagon, Mark.

244
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:32,100
I'll be there in a few minutes.

245
00:11:32,130 --> 00:11:33,190
All right, I'll have just one.

246
00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:36,050
So far, one is
all I have offered.

247
00:11:39,050 --> 00:11:43,040
McCain, I understand you
are famous for your skill

248
00:11:43,070 --> 00:11:45,140
with that weapon.

249
00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:46,130
I can shoot.

250
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,000
My Xavier here shoots, also.

251
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:51,100
It will be interesting
to see how you make

252
00:11:51,130 --> 00:11:53,110
out against each other, huh?

253
00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:57,080
A simply friendly [french].

254
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:58,060
Let me see, now.

255
00:11:58,090 --> 00:11:59,120
Ah-- there.

256
00:11:59,150 --> 00:12:00,220
On the stable roof.

257
00:12:01,010 --> 00:12:04,200
Which of you first can
spin the weather cock?

258
00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:07,020
Well, I'm not much
for shooting matches.

259
00:12:07,050 --> 00:12:09,050
I'll concede to Xavier there.

260
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,130
Aw, come, come,
Monsieur McCain.

261
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,180
No, you shouldn't be so modest.

262
00:12:14,210 --> 00:12:17,200
Why, Xavier here was
bragging for you.

263
00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:20,120
Saying how quick you were.

264
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:22,040
Here, both of you.
Shoot!

265
00:12:22,070 --> 00:12:22,190
[gunshot]

266
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,000
[speaking french], friend.

267
00:12:28,030 --> 00:12:31,130
Or perhaps this rifle
of yours is just--

268
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,020
just for show, huh?

269
00:12:34,050 --> 00:12:37,070
Or perhaps my friend Xavier
here lies about your abilities?

270
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:38,090
I do not like liars!

271
00:12:51,140 --> 00:12:53,000
We will try again.

272
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:53,210
[gunshot]

273
00:12:54,210 --> 00:12:55,170
Bravo.

274
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,170
Bravo!
Beautiful.

275
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,030
[speaking french]
Just as I hoped.

276
00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:02,070
Bravo!

277
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:07,020
Well, then, McCain, I know
what you paid for your ranch.

278
00:13:07,050 --> 00:13:10,110
I offer you the
same money, exactly.

279
00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:13,090
Unless, of course, 50%
percent for wear and tear.

280
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,060
I'm sorry.

281
00:13:14,090 --> 00:13:15,180
It's not for sale.

282
00:13:15,210 --> 00:13:17,100
I saved a long time
to buy that place,

283
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:19,100
and I intend to bring
up my boy there.

284
00:13:19,130 --> 00:13:21,170
Xavier?

285
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,140
Knife.

286
00:13:34,060 --> 00:13:38,080
Have you ever seen a
woman die, my friend?

287
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:42,120
Well, then you're aware
that there's something--

288
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:44,050
something, shall I say--

289
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,060
special about the
death of any woman, hm?

290
00:13:48,090 --> 00:13:52,090
Something very
special, Mr. Tiffauges.

291
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,170
Why do you think
I'm here, McCain?

292
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,010
By the persecutions
of my enemies.

293
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Reformers and hypocrites.

294
00:14:01,230 --> 00:14:07,090
Why, three times their political
grand juries have indicted me.

295
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,010
Why, last time-- last time
they bribe an old woman

296
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,180
and two of the girls, you know,
that work in her establishment.

297
00:14:15,210 --> 00:14:18,020
You know what happened?

298
00:14:18,050 --> 00:14:23,160
Early one morning, some
unknown man with a pass key

299
00:14:23,190 --> 00:14:27,060
entered the room where
the three were hiding.

300
00:14:27,090 --> 00:14:30,190
And when he leaves, there
is no more evidence.

301
00:14:30,220 --> 00:14:34,080
He shot three women, huh?

302
00:14:34,110 --> 00:14:36,090
Who speaks of shooting?

303
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,190
Too loud.

304
00:14:38,220 --> 00:14:40,040
Will you believe
it, Monsieur McCain,

305
00:14:40,070 --> 00:14:43,160
that my friends even say
that this violent man

306
00:14:43,190 --> 00:14:45,110
was Cesar Tiffauges?

307
00:14:45,140 --> 00:14:47,230
Me.

308
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:51,000
Me, personal.

309
00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:53,160
But, of course, I
do not recount all

310
00:14:53,190 --> 00:14:56,000
these horrors to distress you.

311
00:14:56,030 --> 00:14:57,120
No.

312
00:14:57,150 --> 00:14:59,060
Now, if now you--

313
00:14:59,090 --> 00:15:01,030
you reject my fair--

314
00:15:01,060 --> 00:15:02,200
and, mind you, friendly offer--

315
00:15:02,230 --> 00:15:05,010
oh, [speaking french], monsieur.

316
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,230
I'm, of course, very sorry.

317
00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:09,110
And for both of us,
Monsieur McCain.

318
00:15:09,140 --> 00:15:14,130
Who can predict what losses
can occur to your livestock?

319
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,220
That your crops
do not catch fire?

320
00:15:17,010 --> 00:15:20,020
Your home itself burn
to its foundation?

321
00:15:20,050 --> 00:15:25,080
And don't forget--
you have a son.

322
00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:27,080
A son, my poor friend.

323
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:31,050
You know, from now on, whenever
he is not at your side,

324
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,020
you will be asking
yourself-- what comes to him?

325
00:15:33,050 --> 00:15:34,090
Where is he?

326
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,010
I tell you, you
will get up 20 times

327
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,070
at night to look
if he's in his bed.

328
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:44,000
You will light the lamp, McCain,
to see if there is blood.

329
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:49,190
[speaking french]

330
00:15:55,100 --> 00:16:00,230
Well, McCain, now what do
you say to my proposition?

331
00:16:01,020 --> 00:16:04,010
You're a tough
trader, Mr. Tiffauges.

332
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,210
But wear and tear
on my property--

333
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,190
why, I've put in
two wells out there.

334
00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:09,090
Built a house, a barn, a stable.

335
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,180
There's-- there's a mile and
a quarter of grade A fencing.

336
00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:13,230
I've sweated out there.

337
00:16:14,020 --> 00:16:16,120
Listen carefully to me.

338
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:19,110
I shall be out there tomorrow
morning at 10:00 precise.

339
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:22,130
By that hour, you will have
ready for my signatures

340
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,120
all the necessary deeds,
signed by yourself.

341
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:26,140
Understood?

342
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,040
When your men
left New Orleans,

343
00:16:34,070 --> 00:16:35,110
did they know they
were going to settle

344
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:37,080
in a small town like this?

345
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:38,180
Maybe they'd prefer
San Francisco?

346
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:40,050
I hear it's a great city.

347
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,050
A place they can
have a lot of fun.

348
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,170
My men do not ask questions.

349
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,140
They do not ask anything!

350
00:16:48,170 --> 00:16:51,040
They think as I
tell them to think,

351
00:16:51,070 --> 00:16:54,150
and they feel as I
wish them to feel.

352
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:56,100
That you would not
understand, anyway.

353
00:17:05,050 --> 00:17:08,060
10:00 tomorrow
morning, Mr. Tiffauges.

354
00:17:08,090 --> 00:17:10,070
10:00, Monsieur McCain.

355
00:17:13,210 --> 00:17:17,010
What do you think
of him now, Xavier?

356
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,150
I still think he's muy macho.

357
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:20,000
How do you say it?

358
00:17:20,030 --> 00:17:20,220
Much man.

359
00:17:21,010 --> 00:17:22,210
Tomorrow morning
over there, I'll

360
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,150
get his ranch on a platter.

361
00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:29,220
Micah, you mentioned about
deputizing some of the boys.

362
00:17:30,010 --> 00:17:31,110
I did.

363
00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:32,160
Well, do it, and bring
'em out to my place tomorrow

364
00:17:32,190 --> 00:17:35,110
morning at 10:15 sharp.

365
00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:36,180
I hope by the time
you get there,

366
00:17:36,210 --> 00:17:38,200
you can turn around and go home.

367
00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:39,130
All right, Lucas boy.

368
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,100
Good luck.

369
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:48,120
Ready to go, Pa?

370
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:49,230
Ready.

371
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:52,030
Did you let him know for sure
the ranch isn't up for sale?

372
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:53,030
No, I didn't, son.

373
00:17:53,060 --> 00:17:54,000
But Pa!

374
00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:56,000
And I'm telling you it isn't.

375
00:17:56,030 --> 00:17:57,220
It's just that
Tiffauges doesn't, uh--

376
00:17:58,010 --> 00:17:59,120
understand too easily.

377
00:17:59,150 --> 00:18:01,190
But I think he will
in the morning.

378
00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:04,080
Here, finish the champagne.

379
00:18:04,110 --> 00:18:08,100
I go now to my room for siesta.

380
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:09,160
Call me in time for dinner.

381
00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:36,080
Mark?

382
00:19:36,110 --> 00:19:37,080
Yeah, Pa?

383
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:38,110
You forgot your schoolbooks.

384
00:19:38,140 --> 00:19:40,230
You're a little
absent-minded this morning.

385
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:43,030
I'd sure like to be
here when they come.

386
00:19:43,060 --> 00:19:44,100
Anything to get
out of going to--

387
00:19:49,010 --> 00:19:50,030
I thought you said 10:00?

388
00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:52,010
It's only 8:00.

389
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,200
Mark, you go into
town the back way,

390
00:19:53,230 --> 00:19:54,230
and tell Micah to
get back out here as

391
00:19:55,020 --> 00:19:56,140
soon as he can with the boys.

392
00:19:56,170 --> 00:19:57,110
Sure, Pa.

393
00:19:57,140 --> 00:19:59,200
And then you go on to school.

394
00:19:59,230 --> 00:20:01,030
You heard me.

395
00:20:01,060 --> 00:20:02,100
Only don't get kept
after, all right?

396
00:20:02,130 --> 00:20:04,150
I want you back here to
help me with the stock.

397
00:20:04,180 --> 00:20:05,060
GO on, boy.

398
00:20:57,220 --> 00:20:58,170
TIFFAUGES: Mr. McCain?

399
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:02,180
McCain, I'm waiting!

400
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,140
You're early.

401
00:21:16,170 --> 00:21:17,110
I've got work to do.

402
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:18,170
We'll talk at 10:00.

403
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,220
No.

404
00:21:20,010 --> 00:21:22,170
We'll talk now.

405
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,020
Mr. Tiffauges, you're
a guest on my property.

406
00:21:26,050 --> 00:21:27,140
And while you're here--

407
00:21:27,170 --> 00:21:30,090
I dispossess you from
this property, McCain,

408
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:34,100
because I am who I
am, and what I am.

409
00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:37,030
Among my ancestors,
there was one from whom I

410
00:21:37,060 --> 00:21:40,100
inherit my name and my destiny.

411
00:21:40,130 --> 00:21:42,170
Who was answerable
for his actions

412
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,120
not even to the king of France.

413
00:21:45,150 --> 00:21:47,050
What am I saying?

414
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,170
Not to Heaven itself.

415
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,140
Even today he is remembered
in that famous story

416
00:21:52,170 --> 00:21:54,140
called "Barbe bleue."

417
00:21:54,170 --> 00:21:56,070
Or as you say it in
English, "Bluebeard."

418
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:59,010
You, of course, heard about it?

419
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,040
Sure.

420
00:22:00,070 --> 00:22:01,200
He still frightens children.

421
00:22:01,230 --> 00:22:03,070
But you're wasting
my time, McCain.

422
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:05,160
Bring forth the papers.

423
00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:08,030
I order you, for your own sake--

424
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:09,130
get the papers.

425
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,170
That's the thing about
this part of the country.

426
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,130
Men come out here so they
don't have to take orders.

427
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,110
They think the way
they want, and they

428
00:22:17,140 --> 00:22:19,100
feel the way they want.

429
00:22:19,130 --> 00:22:22,140
Not the way some
so-called ruler wants.

430
00:22:22,170 --> 00:22:24,230
As a matter of fact,
Tiffauges, your kind just

431
00:22:25,020 --> 00:22:26,160
don't make any sense out here.

432
00:22:26,190 --> 00:22:28,030
You belong back
in the dark ages,

433
00:22:28,060 --> 00:22:29,180
with that ancestor of yours!

434
00:22:29,210 --> 00:22:33,060
And I'm telling you, most
of your men agree with me.

435
00:22:33,090 --> 00:22:35,060
Get the papers.

436
00:22:35,090 --> 00:22:38,040
I just gave you my answer.

437
00:22:38,070 --> 00:22:40,140
I offer you one
more chance, McCain.

438
00:22:40,170 --> 00:22:44,210
Then I give the order
to have you shot.

439
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,180
If I thought that order
would be carried out,

440
00:22:46,210 --> 00:22:48,160
I wouldn't have been
waiting here for you.

441
00:22:48,190 --> 00:22:49,200
Shoot him!

442
00:22:49,230 --> 00:22:53,120
Shoot him like the
pig that he is!

443
00:22:53,150 --> 00:22:54,200
Shoot him!

444
00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:56,100
Shoot him!

445
00:22:56,130 --> 00:22:57,090
[gunshot]

446
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:02,060
Patron!

447
00:23:02,090 --> 00:23:04,050
[gunfire]

448
00:23:07,210 --> 00:23:09,210
Much obliged.

449
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,060
It makes us--

450
00:23:11,090 --> 00:23:12,230
how do you say--

451
00:23:13,020 --> 00:23:15,050
even on the board, huh?

452
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,220
You were right, amigo.

453
00:23:17,010 --> 00:23:18,140
Freedom is a precious thing.

454
00:23:18,170 --> 00:23:20,180
You made me realize
what I gave it up for.

455
00:23:20,210 --> 00:23:22,130
After all, we see him
for what he is there.

456
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,140
A big, fat nothing
lying in the dirt.

457
00:23:31,030 --> 00:23:33,040
I burned this, no?

458
00:23:33,070 --> 00:23:36,130
You know, he said we'd find you
here this morning when we come,

459
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,040
like a big bowl of jelly
quivering on a platter.

460
00:23:41,070 --> 00:23:42,090
He was wrong, what he said.

461
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,020
And I have been
right, what I said.

462
00:23:44,050 --> 00:23:45,000
You are muy macho.

463
00:23:45,030 --> 00:23:46,150
Much man!

464
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:48,100
Thank you, Xavier.

465
00:23:48,130 --> 00:23:50,060
[speaking spanish]

466
00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:53,070
Xavier, I go with you.

467
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:55,010
- Ah, yes!
- I play for you!

468
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,220
What do you say?

469
00:23:56,010 --> 00:23:56,200
Ah, yes!

470
00:23:56,230 --> 00:23:58,140
[shouting]

471
00:24:49,050 --> 00:24:52,060
