Original subtitles

We found one of our steers slaughtered down the way.

That beef you're roastin'... We don't hold for poachers, mister.

Mccain?! Oh, I am sorry. I-I didn't know that was you.

I'm sure you'll wanna make good for the steer.

No! No, mccain!

Marshal torrance?

Len richards, isn't it?

Yeah. I want you to arrest lucas mccain.

Arrest- what are you talkin' about?

He shot down my brother in cold blood.

Lucas?! Why that's impossible.

Impossible?! I was there.

Micah?

Oh, hello, mr. Richards.

Arrest him, marshal.

No, no, just a minute here,

Let's find out what this is all about.

It was him, all right, I saw him with my own eyes.

Saw what?!

Oh, stop it, mccain! After what you did!

Now calm down here. Now, just take it easy, richards.

Now, just tell us what happened.

Ebb and I were ridin' the fence, we came across a dead steer,

An' we stopped to investigate.

No disease killed that steer.

Someone slaughtered it.

You're sayin' I killed it?

I'm sayin' you killed my brother!

Your brother?

You did it all right!

He an' another man had made camp,

And they were roastin' the beef.

I merely asked him to make good for the steer.

Instead he picked up that rifle, an' shot my brother ebb.

Len, I don't know what you're talkin' about,

I haven't been up in red wing in months.

When did this happen?

Two days ago, just after dark.

It couldn't have been lucas.

He was right here in town two days ago.

I know, I saw 'im at the auction.

That's right, I sold one of my mares.

It was you.

I've known you long enough, an' you were carryin' that rifle.

Now, wait a minute! This man might have looked like me!

Uh, this man you saw, was he dressed like lucas?

Not exactly, he was wearin' some sort of a blanket coat.

Len, look at my face.

It was your face.

It was unshaven, dirty, an'... You had a moustache.

There was a scar.

Len, I-I don' wear a moustache, an' there's no scar.

You say it was just after dark, now the light was no doubt bad.

Big man carryin' a rifle, lookin' something like lucas,

It's a mistake anybody coulda made.

Len, come on, len. You know me better than that, don't you?

I've come such a long way,

An' it seems to be for nothin' at all.

Here, here, take this.

No. I couldn't believe it was mccain.

Didn't say a word, just raised the rifle.

I guess I better get on back.

Now, wait a minute, wait.

You got a long ride, maybe you better get a room at the hotel,

And stay here tonight.

I think that's a good idea. Come on, I'll fix it up.

You gonna be around a while, lucas?

No, I'm gonna deliver that mare to aaron samuel's,

Then I'm goin' home.

Len, uh, I'm sorry about your brother ebb.

Thanks, lucas.

With you in a minute.

We want a drink, and one for the lady.

First time you ever took any notice of me, mr... Mccain.

Hold on, lucas.

I gotta be goin'.

No, you ain't goin', you're stayin' with me.

Go on, move, move, move!

Hey, said I wanted some whisky.

Oh, I'm sorry I... Took you for somebody else.

I thought sure you was lucas mccain.

Whisky!

Come on, come on, come on.

What are you gawkin' at? Like I'm mccain?

You two sure look enough alike to be brothers.

What do you know about my brothers?

Nothin'. Nothin'.

This mccain, he live here in town?

About three miles out on the south road.

Mmm, what is he? Sodbuster?

No, he's got a nice little ranch.

Oh, nice little ranch.

You-you do look like lucas mccain.

You do look like lucas mc- now, look you, get out o' here!

Come on, come on, out you go! Whee! Whoo! Whoo!

Come on, let's have that whisky, huh?

You spilled some.

Now you spilled it all.

Seems like I'm kinda all thumbs.

Maybe you- maybe you better pour your own.

This the best you got?

Yeah.

Rotten. Rotten whisky, rotten town.

People all mangy an' rotten.

It's the best we've got.

Town, whisky an' people.

Course there are some bigger towns to the south.

Maybe you boys'll find them more to your likin'.

Now, you tryin' to tell us to get out o' town?

No.

No, sir.

Now you listen to me, my name is bantry. Earl bantry.

I don't want no one tellin' me I look like this mccain.

-Do you understand me? -Yes.

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir.

Hey! Where're you goin'?

Ha!

Earl?

Mmm.

Marshal's comin'.

I'm gonna have to ask you an' your partner

To come along with me.

Mmm? Why, marshal?

A man fittin' your description

Killed ebb richards up in red wing.

Well, from what I hear,

I ain't the only one fittin' that description.

Yes, the other man has been cleared.

There's a witness in town,

I think he'll be able to identify you.

So, er, come along with me, both of you.

You're both under arrest.

-Hold it! -Micah!

Don't do it!

Earl?

Earl, don't kill him, there's no need.

Ahh, what good is he?

Earl, he's a marshal!

Well, you kill a marshal,

You'll have every lawman in the territory after us, earl.

Let him be.

Mmm. Yeah.

Yeah, k.C. Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey! Give me another bottle of whisky.

Come on, earl, we can be miles out of here by dark.

No. No, we ain't leavin' just yet, k.C.

Yeah, but you just said that-

Come on, there ain't no sense makin' any more trouble

Here, let's go!

Now, k.C., I-I got me an idea.

Earl? You, uh, you got your mind set on doin' somethin',

Haven't you? What?

We're gonna go pay us a visit to this, uh, mccain fella.

Pa?

Check the barn.

Who are you?

Never mind, kid.

Stay where you are, boy!

I-I was-

Where's mccain?

He's not here.

I said where!

Over at...Some neighbor's, deliverin' a horse.

Mmm, you're his boy? Anybody else live here?

Earl, it's me! He- he's not in the barn.

Oh, good. When's he comin' back?

When's he comin' back?! Don't make me repeat it!

I don't know.

Mmm, what do you got, supper cookin'?

Earl, you're not plannin' on waitin', are you?

Why not?

Oh, that wouldn't be smart, that town marshal knows you now.

That mangy marshal, forget about him.

Put the horses in the barn,

We don' wanna scare mccain when he comes home, do we?

Earl, what are you thinkin' of?!

Now, k.C., you've been getting awful contrary lately,

An' I don' like it. I don' like it at all.

Eh, boy, come here. Come here!

You, uh, set some more places,

You're gonna have company for supper.

I don't think there's enough.

Uh, where's your old man keep his whisky?

Why did you come here?

Where is it?

Sure look like my pa, that's about all.

Where does he keep the whisky?

If I tell you, will you leave?

"if I tell you will you leave?"

Agh.

Here! Here it is. I've got it.

Ah, that's better.

Now next time I talk to you, boy, you better answer me,

You understand? Now get the supper.

Hey, now, make yourself at home, k.C.

Boy will have supper ready in no time.

There's only just enough for pa an' me.

Now, you'd better leave before he comes home

An' finds out what you did. Or you'll really be sorry, mister.

Well now, if you ain't the spunkiest, yes, sir,

Real spunky kid.

But I don't like kids, especially fresh ones.

So now, you get that supper on the table,

Or I'll make you wish you never opened your yap to me.

Now move.

Here he comes.

Yeah, here he comes, k.C.

Now, you just sit there nice an easy.

Pa! Pa.

Who are you?

Well...

I'm sorry, pa.

It's all right, son. Stay out o' the way.

Well!

No! No, no. I don't believe it!

I don't believe it. K.C., you ever see anythin' like that?

No, no.

I swear, mccain, they weren't lyin'.

It's like lookin' at myself in a mirror glass.

You know, you could be my brother.

Except mccain is more prettier than you are, earl.

Shut up.

What're you doin' here?

I heard so much about you, I kinda wanted to see for myself.

You're the man who killed ebb richards.

Mmm, who's that?

You know who it is! The rancher in red wing.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I killed him.

Hey, earl, take a look at this here.

Mmm. Hey, let me see that.

Hey, what's this?

Well now, huh?

Mccain, don't make another mistake, mccain. Don't!

Bantry, that big one, he was about to kill you.

The other one stopped him. He's a mean one, all right.

I've gotta find out where they went.

They're both wanted for murder.

Well, I'm not surprised.

Say, you know that bantry was curious about lucas.

Wanted to know if he lived round here.

Did you tell 'im?

Yeah, I guess I did.

That was before I knew what he was like.

You don't suppose they went lookin' for lucas, do ya?

I don't know.

Look, I'm not finished!

It's all right.

Well, mccain, your boots pinch a little, but they'll do.

All right, bantry, you got what you wanted.

Now, why don't you an' your friend get out of here?

We ain't welcome no more.

Give me that.

Well, that tastes better than that slop they sell

In north fork saloon.

That's where I left your marshal.

Imagine him wanna take me in.

Nobody's takin' me anywhere, and nobody's tellin' me what to do.

You won't take anythin' from anybody, will you, bantry?

Yeah, I won't! I'm sick an' tired of people pushin' me.

"better move on, we don't want no troublemakers."

"that's our beef you're cookin' there."

Everybody tellin' me what to do and what not to do,

Ever since I was a kid.

Sit down, earl, have another-

Now you're tellin' me, too?!

I had two brothers, used to ride me.

Bigger an' older 'an me, just a kid.

They pushed me, an' they probed me.

Man, they beat me every livin' chance they got.

'til I growed up to my full size.

Then I gave them back everything they gave me.

Double!

So, don't you start on me, you mangy miserable sodbuster.

I'm sick o' you!

Sick o' hearin' your name, an' how much you look like me.

And I'm gonna settle you too, before I'm finished!

What your brothers did to you,

It still bothers you, doesn't it?

No. No!

It don't bother me none.

I killed 'em both!

You killed your own brothers?

Yeah I-

No, no, I didn't kill 'em.

You killed 'em.

You killed my brothers!

You killed my brothers! You killed my brothers!

Pa!

You! You!

You! You!

Are you all right, pa?

I'm all right, son.

"I'm all right, son."

Oh, earl, now we're all out o' whisky!

K.C., there's a town about three hours south.

You can get all the liquor you want.

Hear that, earl?

He's lucky to have a friend like you, k.C.,

You seem to be the only one that makes any sense.

Mmm. You-you better shut up, mccain.

I'll bet, if it weren't for you, he'd have-

He'd have been caught and hung a long time ago.

If he hurt marshal torrance,

The whole town's gonna be lookin' for him.

Matter o' fact, I can't understand

Why they aren't here already.

K.C., the best thing you can do for your friend

Is to get him movin', fast!

He's right, earl. We better get goin'.

You'd like that, wouldn't you, mccain?

Forget about him. Let's go, how about it, earl?

No, I got a better idea.

Yeah, what's that?

You go.

What, alone?

Yeah.

But earl-

What's the matter, you afraid to go alone?

No.

Well, then, what is it?

Well, that'd mean us bustin' up.

So what? You've been itchin' to go all day, so go on.

I don't need you.

You- you mean that, earl?

You- you don't need me?

Yeah, I mean it.

Yeah, might- might be better that way, after all.

And, uh, since we ain't gonna be together no more,

Maybe I better light my own cigars, huh?

Yeah?

Yeah.

I, uh, tell you what, earl.

If- if anybody comes lookin' for us, this way they'll-

They'll have two trails to follow. That-that-that-

That's smart, earl.

Well, adios.

Adios.

K.C.!

Well, I'll never forget that earl bantry.

I hope you'll be able to forgive me, lucas.

It was an honest mistake, len, forget it.

I'll never forget it!

Him beatin' up on you, an' then smashin' his own face

On the lookin' glass.

Well, he wanted me as a whipping boy,

But his real problem was himself.

Oh, I see. He hurt you cuz you looked like him.

Guess he kind of felt like cain, after killin' his brother, abel.

You study your bible real good, mark.

Say, how's about us havin' somethin' to eat?

Yeah! What're we gonna eat?

Oh, it'll be my pleasure,

If all of you would join me at the hotel, as my guests.

That's nice o' you, len, thanks.

Can I eat anythin' I want, mr. Richards?

Sure, mark. Why do you ask?

Well, you see, uh, last night, mark cooked a stew,

I don't think it turned out too well.

Oh. Well, what're you gonna have?

Well, anythin', just so as long as it's not stew.

Well, that figures.
