There it is, hagen.

You can't get
into this mine,

And we can't get out.

Stalemate.

Thank you very much,
gentlemen.

I hope you all have exactly
the same luck tomorrow night.

Thank you.
Goodnight.

Leadhead.

You were trying to bluff me
out of that last pot.

Yeah, I had you
guessing for a minute.

Sounds like you're
getting tired of the game.

It passes the time.

Say, you got another
one of them?

Now you know
what the doctor said.

Don't you start in
with that foolishness.

What's the difference
between dying at 75 or 80?

Ain't many pleasures left
when you get to be my age.

Looks to me like
you're doing fine.

Sure, I live in
a plush hotel now,

Instead of a lean-to.

Bought me silk shirts
and I eat fancy food.

Yeah, I've done fine since
I found me a silver mine.

I can have just about
anything I want.

Hey...

You ain't going just yet,
are you?

It's 5:00 in the morning.
We played all night.

I'll see you
tomorrow night, huh?

Let's start earlier.
12:00 is a little late.

I'm going over to
the music hall.

Again?

As long as I can keep on
seeing millie annette.

Who?

Millie annette,
the singer.

What's the matter with you?

You're the one that took me
there the first time.

I always thought you had
an eye for the ladies.

If you don't
remember her...

What are you laughing at?

That's not her name,
leadhead.

Not "millie."
this is french.

Stands for mademoiselle
annette vargas.

Oh.

Well, whatever it is
they call her,

She's the prettiest thing
I ever seen.

You've been going to
the music hall every night

Just to see her?
Why not?

She's living here
at the carlton.

You could have met her.
Ha!

You think she'd
even stop to look at

An old desert rat
like me?

I understand she's
a very gracious woman.

At any rate,
I'll see you tonight.

Oh, sure.
'bye leadhead.

Good night.

"with sincere appreciation

"for your enchanting performance
at the music hall.

"and in hopes that you will
have supper with me tonight.

"l. Kane."

I just can't get over it.

Me sitting here
talking to you.

I never dreamed you'd
have supper with me.

Your card and
the beautiful flowers

Were most persuasive.

That's something
I can't understand.

I don't recollect...
Leadhead...

I believe mlle. Vargas
is ready for more wine.

Sure.
Hey boy.

Yes, mr. Kane?

Those glasses are no
doggone use to us empty.

Leadhead?

Forgive me.
Is that really your name?

Yeah!

I don't believe it.

Honest injun!

See, when I first
started out prospectin',

I was an awful greenhorn.

Then one day
I was workin' my way

Up through the tuscaroras,
and I hit it.

You found your silver mine.

Now wait a minute.
Wait just a minute now.

Hold your horses.
No, sir.

You see, I got me
a lot of rock samples.

And I head out
for the survey office,

Just like there was
a fire in my britches.

Oh, excuse me.

I understand.

Anyway, I busted into town

Yelling and whooping
like a comanche.

Telling everybody
that I'd made a big strike.

Some strike.
It was lead.

not really?

Yeah, and that's when they
started calling me "leadhead."

And it stuck to me.

I've just been
jawing away

To a fare thee well,
ain't I?

Gosh, somebody should have
stuck a boot in my mouth.

Don't stop, your stories
are enchanting.

You sure make it easy
for me to tell them.

You know,
it perks up an old man

To have a young lady
like you pay him some mind.

But you've lived such
a wonderfully full life.

Full?

Full of looking
and never finding.

I want to hear
more about you.

We'll do it again,
won't we?

It can't happen too soon
to suit me, ma'am.

You know...

This is the nicest night

I've ever spent
in my whole life.

Say there,
just something else.

It's kinda silly,
I guess.

But I want
to remember tonight.

I wonder if you'd
sign this picture?

I would rather
you remember me with this.

No, I couldn't.

I want you to have it.

Perhaps it'll keep you
from being lonely again.

Good night.

Leadhead.

May I see you to your room,
mademoiselle?

Thank you, mr. Paladin.

Good night.
Good night, leadhead.

Gosh, almighty.

I knock on bedroom door

Like always when
I bring his breakfast.

This time he not answer,
so I open it.

And I see him there,

Lying so quiet.

I call doctor,
and then you.

It happened during the night,
while he slept.

He's an old man.
His heart simply gave out.

Will you notify
the next of kin?

There's nobody to notify.
He was alone.

Someone has to make...
I'll take care of it.

Very well.

Thank you, doctor.

Mr. Kane want you
to have this.

He write it last night,
after you leave with lady.

Also letter.
Letter I mail.

That he want me
to give you,

Say you will know
what to do.

This is leadhead's will.

I know.

He asked me to write
my name on it.

You see?
I'm a witness.

Mademoiselle annette?
Hmmm.

Oh no, mr. Paladin.
I can't accept this.

The poor man had too much
champagne that night.

He didn't know
what he was doing.

Believe me, he did.

Leadhead kane was
a lonely old man.

In that one night,
you showed him

More honest affection and
friendship than he'd ever known.

No, it's not right.
There are others to think of.

His friends, family.
They deserve...

He had no family.

And he considered you
his close friend.

His share in that mine's
worth $250,000.

$250,000?

Ten minutes, miss vargas.
Somebody waiting to see you.

One minute, please.

Let me know what you decide.
I'll be at the carlton.

Thank you for coming.

My pleasure, goodbye.
Good night.

Miss vargas?
Yes.

My name's vance crawford.
I'm leadhead kane's partner.

Or rather, I was.

Come in, won't you?

Please, sit down.

No, thank you.
I'll only be a minute.

I received an unusual letter
from leadhead yesterday.

It was apparently written
the night before he died.

He stated he'd just
made out a will

Leaving his share
of the rimrock mine to you.

Is this true?
Yes, it's true.

You didn't know leadhead
very long, did you?

I never heard him
speak of you.

No, I had just
met him that evening.

We had supper together.
I liked him.

Of course you did.

But I'm sure that $1,000

Will make you
feel a lot better.

$1,000?

For the will. You don't think
it's any good, do you?

Mr. Paladin said
- believe me, it'll never stand up in court.

Especially under
the circumstances.

What do you mean
"the circumstances"?

You know, ms. Vargas, you
really are a talented actress.

Now I can understand
why leadhead was taken in.

"taken in"?

Let's not carry
this too far.

You don't have to put
on a show for my benefit.

I'm afraid I don't know
what you're talking about.

All right, I'll spell it
out for you.

It's $1,000 or nothing.

You can't collect on that will
and you know it.

Why can't I?

The judge'd laugh it
out of court.

Anyone can tell
what happened that night.

You picked the old man up
in a saloon.

Got him drunk, then you tricked
him into writing that will.

You've said enough.
Will you please leave?

You tried one of the oldest
tricks, it just didn't work.

The estate'll be settled when
the judge hits rimrock next week.

You don't stand a chance at
collecting. I asked you to leave.

I'm not going to offer it again.
$1,000 cash, now.

Will you go?

That's funny.

I always thought women like you
were sensible about money.

I could hardly perform.

You've made up your mind
about the will.

Yes, mr. Paladin.

I don't care about
the money for myself.

But I can't let crawford get
what belonged to leadhead.

You're going to
need some help.

May I offer my assistance?

Would you check in
for both of us?

I want to get a buckboard.

Of course.

Where are we going?

We should go to the mine soon. You should
post a notice of the new partnership.

That's a law in the silver counties. We
have to do it before the court convenes.

See you soon.

So that's leadhead's filly?

He wasn't as old
as I thought he was.

I don't want her
in court tomorrow.

Room seven and nine.

Ms. Vargas and mr. Paladin.

Want me to take your bags up?
Please.

I'll wait for mr. Paladin.

Welcome to rimrock.

Thank you.

You have to leave soon,
do you?

I'd like to get acquainted.
I'm jess hagen.

You'll be seeing
a lot of me if you stay.

I look forward to that.
Good.

I'd like to take
you to supper tonight.

Okay?
Will you let me pass, please?

Soon as you tell me about
supper. Don't touch me.

Don't use that tone to me.

Apparently, the lady's not
interested in your attentions.

Oh, my, you're slow.

I assume you're mr. Crawford.

And you were
expecting us, I trust.

You take that look
off your face.

There's no look on my face.
You're seeing things.

Paladin just ordered a buckboard.
Obviously, they're going to the mine.

They have to post a new
partnership notice.

That's the time.
Get everybody away-

Why don't you
draw me a picture.

How does it feel
to be a lady of property?

Is this all there is to it?
This hole in the ground?

The mine's only a year old, but
there's over $500,000 in that hole.

Why aren't there
people working here?

At least someone should make
sure no one steals any silver.

It's not quite that simple, but
it does seem strange, doesn't it?

Now we know why
there weren't any people around.

Witnesses would
be embarrassing.

I don't understand
why anyone would shoot at us.

It's your friend
from the hotel.

The one who was
so rude, hagen.

That's right. He doesn't
discourage easily, does he?

That can't be.

To try to kill me 'cause
I wouldn't dine with him?

Get back in the mine.

You have a gun. Shoot back!

It'd be a waste of lead.

Rifles have twice
the range of this gun.

We're just going to stay here?

Looks like
we don't have a choice.

What are you waiting for, hagen?

Come and get us.

No hurry, I'm not going
anywhere. Neither are you.

Well, that's it.

They can't get in
and we can't get out.

Stalemate.

Paladin, you were gone so long,
and that light...

I found the shaft. There's no
other way to get out of the mine.

Some air shafts, but they're
too small to crawl through.

Why are they keeping us here?

What can they gain?
Time.

It's almost dawn.

Leadhead's estate will be
settled in a few hours.

If we're not there
with the will...

To think of that man
getting leadhead's money...

Paladin, why don't
we try to sneak out?

Perhaps we could make it.

What then? Walk back to town?

Besides, they'd
come after us.

Unless they thought
we were still here.

You can loose the top
of your head that way.

How'd you get out of there?

On my belly.

It was a dirty trip,
but worth it.

You tell your men to get dynamite
to blow us out of that cave.

No.

All right.

Shauny, joe.

Go back to town.

What's going on, jess?

Dynamite.

Get some dynamite.

We're going to blow
them out of the cave.

ain't there some in the shack?

No, do what I tell you!

Well, jess, that was perfect.

To show you how much I
appreciate what you did...

All right, paladin, he won't
escape now.

Let me have the hat.

Mr. Hagen, if I were you,
I'd sit still.

Your friends'll be looking
for a target when they return.

Come on.

All right, now.

Come to order, boys.

First order of business before this
court is to settle the estate of mr. Kane.

All the interested
parties present?

I believe I'm the only one,
judge.

Well, I can't
see anything to settle.

Leadhead didn't
leave any heirs.

So I guess we'll-

Your honor.

If the court pleases...

Before you decide this,
I'd like to be heard.

Who are you?
My name is paladin.

I represent mlle. Vargas

Who, by virtue of this document,
is entitled to kane's entire estate.

It's a fraud. That will
doesn't mean anything.

You can't come in
with a piece of paper-

That is a holographic will.

What?

A holographic will is one made
out in a man's own handwriting

On a single sheet
of paper and dated.

As your honor knows,
it's legal

Since many people here
recognize kane's writing.

All right,
so he did sign it.

But he was tricked.

You all know leadhead.

How many of you heard him
talk about mlle. Vargas?

Of course you didn't.
He only knew her one night.

Mlle. Vargas was
nothing but a cheap entertainer.

She caught poor leadhead
in a trap.

That's why I say
this will is a fraud.

Coercion. It ought
to be thrown out.

I can't see any
argument against that.

So, I hereby declare-
just a minute.

Aren't you going to hear my side?
Don't look like you've got one.

The court's question is whether
or not kane made this will.

And if he did make it,

Was he unduly forced, urged, coerced,
bribed or even seduced into making it.

It's up to you to answer that
question to my satisfaction.

It's be happy to, your honor,
but to a jury.

Look here, this is not a trial.

We don't use juries
in this kind of case.

It's not a criminal case.
I think it is.

If mr. Crawford's
charges are true,

Ms. Vargas and I
are guilty of extortion.

Extortion is a criminal offense.

You willing to stand on that?

A jury finds against you, you
willing to admit to extortion?

I am.
You'll go to jail.

You and the mademoiselle, too.
I realize that.

All right.

It'll take time
to get the jury-

Your honor, it needn't
be a full panel.

Any six men.

Any four men.

You, sir?

You, sir.

You, at the bar.

And you, sir.

All right, all of you,
come over.

Stand up here.

Listen smart.

Go ahead, mr. Paladin.

Your honor.

Gentlemen, I'll be
as brief as possible.

I'll simply present
a set of circumstances.

And I'll ask you one question.

Your answer will
be your verdict.

I don't know anything about you.

But in each of you, I see
something of leadhead kane.

A loneliness that comes from
the dream of the big strike.

You never had time for
companionship, warmth, laughter.

And now it's too late.

You're too old.

That same look
was in kane's eyes.

Sure.

Leadhead hit it rich. He could
buy anything in the world.

Anything except
what he really wanted.

Friendship, warmth,
understanding.

Then one night he went to a
music hall to pass the time.

There he saw
a young woman, a singer.

He was charmed by her.

He attended every performance.

Until one night, a friend
arranged a supper party.

And he met her
for the first time.

He saw her face to face.

As you see her now.

Mademoiselle?

This, gentlemen, is the cheap
entertainer who tricked leadhead.

Will you sit there, please?

Gentlemen.

I ask you to put yourself
in kane's place that night.

You had a wonderful supper.

You had someone to talk to.

Someone who listened,
understood you.

Someone who laughed at your jokes
and sympathized with your loneliness.

Someone who gave you
a locket to remember her by.

Just before she said good night.

A few hours later,
leadhead kane died.

But before he died,
he had done something.

Something to show his
appreciation

For the only night in his life
when he didn't feel alone.

He made out a will and left
his entire estate to her.

Now, gentlemen, I ask each
of you for one second...

Be leadhead kane.

Then tell me what
you would have done.

I'd have done the same thing.

No, they can't do that.

Hold on a minute.

This is highly irregular.
A jury can't be just four men.

It's not legal.

I hereby declare the verdict to be
- your honor.

The jury was legal when you and crawford
thought I'd be convicted of extortion.

You can't change a verdict. I have
a room full of witnesses to prove it.

Judge!
A verdict is a verdict.

I hereby declare the will of
leadhead kane to be proper and valid.
