All language subtitles for The Rifleman S04E26 The Jealous Man

Are you all right?

What's your business, mister?

Well, no need for that gun...

I'm lucas mccain, this is my son
mark, we're your neighbors.

An' we just stopped by on our
way to town to say hello.

All right, you've said hello,
now clear out.

Please go.

And stay away from my wife!

To drive the neighbors away
with a gun?

How can we live here
after that, jake?

Big man, that mccain,
like andy travis?

No, not like andy travis,
like you were once, jake.

A man I could look up to,
respect, a strong man.

Jake, this is the third time
we've moved in a year,

It's already startin'.

I didn't ask him here an'
I don't want 'im around.

The horse reared an' threw me
because you beat her.

He was helpin' me to my feet.

You don't believe that.

No, not when you have to
flirt with every man you meet.

If I just talk to a man,
you say I'm flirtin'!

I can't live this way, jake.

I'm... Shut away from people
an'... Shut away from you.

I sure can't get over that
mr. Owens,

We were just payin' a
neighborly call, was all.

Well, he's a strange man,
son, I agree.

I want a few words with micah,
maybe you better

Pick up the mail an' I'll meet
you at the barber shop.

Barber shop? Was just a
month ago, pa.

Hmm?

Well... Maybe it could
wait another week.

I'll meet you back here.

Thought you were on a diet?

Well, a diet doesn't mean I
have to starve myself to death.

Why not do it the easy way?

Just stop eatin', you'll lose
that 10 pounds in no time.

Stop eatin'? What'll I do for
energy to get my work done.

What work?

The heaviest thing you've picked
up in 20 years is a cell key.

You know that's the trouble
with this job,

People think that all it is,
is wearin' a star

An' shakin' enough hands to get
elected again.

By the way, uh, did you meet
your new neighbors yet?

Yeah, I met them.

I just saw 'em for a minute
when they arrived,

They were busy movin' in.

You'll like jake an' his wife,
they're nice people, lucas.

How well do you know jake owens?

Oh, about as well
as I know you.

Of course, 'til he moved
here, I hadn't seen 'im in...

Oh, maybe four or five years.

He was wearin' a badge then
in rebels falls, missouri,

But he'd already made a
reputation for himself.

Owens wore a badge?

That's right, gave it up to
become a cattle rancher.

I'm glad they moved here.

What's the matter, lucas?

You said you met jake,
what did you think of 'im?

Now maybe he's changed a little,
micah, since you knew 'im.

How long will you be?

About half an hour.

Half hour to pick out a hat!

Well, I have a few other
things to get.

All here? I'll be back.

Travis, there's our boy
comin' into town.

Headin' right for the saloon.

Still likes his liquor, I see.

Hmm.

Can't say I blame jake
for buildin' a fence

Around that filly,
she's pretty temptin'.

If you like arrogant women.

Turned you down, huh?

Well, jake owens doesn't
think so.

I saw to that,
an' it's torturin' him.

He even gave up his badge
to get her out of town.

Lookin' at that leg he put
a bullet in,

I'd say he's even
with you.

Is that supposed to be a
sample of your wit?

Put it away, simms, I've told
you a dozen times

It won't be done in a handgun
fight.

Be the easiest way,
with jake owens' temper,

I- I throw a couple of words
at 'im in the saloon,

He draws... He dies.

Maybe he dies... No, that
would be too easy for him.

Besides, he was no slouch
with a gun as a marshal.

That don't scare me, it's the
way I like it, gun against gun.

Simms, I'm satisfyin'
your pocket book,

Not your sense of enjoyment.

We'll dispose of owens my way.

You're footin' the bill.

Oh!

Sorry I- I usually look
where I'm going, mrs. Owens.

That's all right, mr. Mccain.

That's very pretty, what is
it, ma'am?

It's a hat.

Oh, a hat.

This is one of woman's small
pleasures

An' one I haven't indulged
in for a long time.

You know, north fork is a
surprise to me,

It's so much bigger than
I expected.

Ah... It's a growing town.

You're a surprise, too,
mrs. Owens.

Oh, in what way?

Well, you don't fit the
pattern, livin' on a ranch.

It's like findin' a...
Thoroughbred pullin' a plough.

Oh, well, thank you
for the compliment.

I was born an' raised
in the east,

An' life there is a little
different for a woman.

It's not easy runnin' a small
ranch.

Hmm, a woman's work is never
done. I manage-

I told you to keep away
from my wife!

Jake, you have no right
to presume-

Shut up!

This is your second warnin',
mccain,

You're not gonna get a third.

You're makin' a scene,
would you take me home?

You call yourself a husband?

She's my wife, mccain,

An' the next time I have
to tell you that,

It'll be with a gun
in my hand.

Jake? Jake? What's the matter
with you, what's the trouble?

Ask him, he's an old friend
of yours.

Micah, how well do you know
mccain?

As good a friend as I have
in the world,

An' a man you can trust.

I don't trust any man where
my wife is concerned,

Keep him away from me, micah.

What's wrong with you, jake?

What's happened between you
an' fay?

Nothin' that concerns you.

Jake, look at me. Jake?

I always knew you were jealous
of fay,

But I never thought I'd live
to see the day

You'd treat her like
you just did.

I don't want any trouble
with you over mccain.

Any trouble will be of your
own makin'.

And hers, the minute my back
is turned.

Mccain is a friend of
yours, keep him away from me.

And a long way from my wife.

Travis: Whom the gods will
destroy, they first make mad,

With an assist from me.

What's that mean?

I've made jake owens think
he married an incurable flirt,

An' it's drivin' him berserk,

An' makin' both their lives
miserable.

I thought you just wanted
'im dead?

Oh, I do, in time.

But if he keeps antagonizin'
that sodbuster

They call the rifleman, he won't
be long for this world.

That would mean I made
a trip for nothin'.

Simms, if owens dies, it
doesn't make any difference

Who the executioner is,
you or mccain.

Now, you better hurry, son,
before miss prichard

Puts you to choppin' kindlin'
wood for being late.

Yeah, she doesn't miss a chance

At gettin' somebody
on that wood pile.

Now, I'd say that's
a practical way

Of settin' aside winter
firewood.

Well, you wouldn't think it
was so practical if...

If you were the one choppin'
more than half the pile.

Well, I guess that would
slant my outlook on it.

Mark, ever since you got up
this mornin',

You seem to have
somethin' on your mind.

Well, I- I was thinkin', pa,
today we were studyin' about...

Well, about english kings,
an'... Well,

I was just figurin' it was more
important for me to help you

Finish fixin' those fence posts
on the north line.

You're worrying about that
north line being too close

To the owens ranch, aren't you?

Sort of.

Well, no sense me tellin' you
not to worry about it,

Worries don't shed too easy,
that's certainly the truth.

He sure is an unreasonable
man, that's the truth, too.

There's an old sayin', mark,

The things we worry about most,
never come to pass,

So with that in mind, why don't
you start ridin'

An' try an' beat that school
bell?

You mean, if I keep on
worryin' about being late

Then it won't come to pass
an'... I'll be early?

You can try it, you can also

Try hustlin' just to play it
doubly safe. Now get goin'.

Mrs. Owens! I'm sorry
I disturbed you.

You didn't.

This is my north line,
I'm replacin' some fence posts.

Well, I rode out here just
to get from the house,

Someplace where I could think.

Well, then I'd better let you
be, I can start further down.

Stay, please?

I don't really like being alone.

Sometimes it has its
advantages.

I suppose so.

But then it takes a certain kind
of strength to face loneliness,

I'm afraid I don't have
that strength.

Actually I have another reason
for being here.

I- I saw you repairing fences
yesterday and, uh,

I wanted to apologize for
the embarrassing scene in town.

It's just a man, doin' some
early day drinkin'.

You're very kind.

You're a widower, mr. Mccain,
you know what loneliness is.

My wife died a long time ago.

Did you ever... Doubt her?
Were you jealous?

I loved her.

An' you believed her when she
told you she loved you?

Lucky man, thank you.

Thought for a minute,
owens has something,

Them two meetin' out
here like this.

Oh, it's all quite innocent,

But rugs have been woven out
of fewer threads.

Putting it another way, simms,

I think we've got enough here to
start a snowball rollin'.

And this would be the perfect
spot to end it. Come on.

-Pa?
-Hmm?

I've been thinkin'.

Well, I guess that's a good sign
your schooling's payin' off.

No, I... I've been thinking
about a way

Dishes could wash themselves.

Suppose you had a box, I-

I mean a box that didn't leak
water an'...

An' you put the dirty dishes
in it?

Well, I guess that could be
arranged.

Well, the rest would be simple,
you...

You just tie the soapy water box
on the back of a horse an'...

An' jog 'im around the house
a few times.

Oh, no, I guess it wouldn't be
too practical.

No, I don't think so, son.

Well, I've gotta get these wire
cutters sharp

An' then get out
to the north line

An' replace some fence posts.

I'll have my chores done by
the time you get back.

Hello, micah.

Lucas, mark? Could I, uh, have
a word with you alone, lucas?

Sure, son?

Oh, I- I'll get the wagon
hitched up for you, pa.

What's up, micah?

What's goin' on between you
an'... Fay owens?

What are you talkin' about?

Is it true that you two
had a meetin'

At your north fence this
mornin'?

Well, what do you wanna hear,

That I've been seein' jake's
wife?

Well, have you?

-Not the way you mean!
-Is there another way?

You know there is!

Fay owens is an unhappy woman,

No man has a right to treat her
the way jake does.

I agree, but after all,
they are man an' wife.

An' what's between them,
should be settled between them.

Who told you about our
meetin' this mornin'?

Nobody!

Near as I can figure
the talk started

In the saloon an' spread-

Well, talk is the one thing
I never listen to!

I wouldn't do anythin'
to add to it, lucas.

Oh... I'm sorry for her,
micah, that's all,

Being married to a man
who doesn't trust her.

I don't know what's happened
to jake,

He always did have a quick
temper, but this...

This jealousy of his, I...
I'd stay away from 'im, lucas,

An' from fay, too.

Aren't you drinkin' a lot
lately?

Maybe I've got good reason
to get drunk today.

What do you mean?

I heard about you an' mccain.

You heard what?
There's nothin' to hear.

You deny meetin' him
at the north line?

No, I don't deny it,

I went there to apologize
to him for your behavior.

Oh, I heard a different story
in town.

I don't care what you heard.

How about today? Feel he
needs another apology today?

The bettin' in town is mccain
will be fixin' fences again

Today with you right there
helpin' him.

Jake, this is ridiculous.

Maybe I'm upsettin' that
by cuttin' short

My business in town.

Would you not start with this
unreasonable jealousy again?

Unreasonable?

What about andy travis,

An' all those times I saw him
ridin' away from our house?

I will tell you again,
there was nothin' between us.

He was never in my house,

I never saw him anywhere
near the house.

Well, I heard a different
kind of talk.

Talk, that's all it was!

For the hundredth time,
travis was a braggart,

A lonesome creature who bragged
about all women

Who rejected him.

You shot him for his braggin'.
Nothing else.

Jake, your jealousy is
destroyin' us.

It's already robbed you of the
most important thing

In your life, your job as
a lawman.

The most important thing
in my life is you,

And I intend to fight for you!

You don't have to fight for
me, I'm your wife, I love you.

Mr. Mccain is expectin'
a visitor at the north line,

We don't wanna disappoint him!

Jake!

Jake? Jake, believe me, please!

Come on now, impatience,

Owens ought to be along pretty
soon now.

I say we should cut down on
owens the minute he shows,

And head out, nobody would
know the difference.

I'd know the difference.

No, we'll let mccain take care
of the job.

An' if owens comes out
of it alive,

We'll take care of 'im then.

What about mccain being
a witness?

Well, it hardly seems sensible
to leave such a loose end

Danglin', does it?

I warned you, mccain,

The third time I talked to you
would be with a gun.

If you came out here because
of that talk in town,

You're makin' a mistake.

No mistake! That kind of talk
don't start by itself.

You got your gun, use it.

You're makin' a mistake,
owens.

I got a belly full of lies,
mccain, use it!

Now?

I'll take mccain.

How am I gonna convince-

Jake?

It's all right, who was it
down there?

Andy travis was one of them.

Travis!

And you sayin' it was just talk,
he even followed you here.

Jake, he must have started
the rumors here in north fork,

Just as he-

Oh, jake, no.

You wanted me out of the way,
then you'd go to him.

You're a fool, owens.

This fellow, travis, you think
he just wanted you dead?

That could have been easily
arranged, ambush, no witnesses.

Are you so blind you can't see
that he just wanted

Your jealousy, your
sickness to cause your death?

You are a fool.

fool.

This one isn't too clean, pa.

Well, I guess the best dish
washer is still a woman, huh?

I guess so.

Ma was as pretty as mrs. Owens,
wasn't she?

Yes, she was.

Were you ever jealous over ma,
like mr. Owens was?

Oh, maybe a little while we
were courtin',

But not after we were married.

You know, son, bein' jealous
means a...

A man doesn't... Well, doesn't
really trust himself,

And he doesn't trust his wife
to know her own mind

When she says she loves him.

Your ma always knew her own
mind.

Yeah, say, pa, about that
dishwashin' box idea,

I've been thinkin' about it
some more an'...

An' suppose we had a
little windmill.

Windmill?

Well, sure we... We could
attach the windmill shaft to...

To sort of a rockin' chair an'
every time the windmill turned,

The rocker would go back
and forth an'...

An' rock all the dishes clean.

Well, it's a good idea,

But how about the days
the wind doesn't blow?

Oh, I never thought about that.

Hey, pa, tommy hamilton once let
his dog lick his plate clean

An'... His ma never knew
the difference.

So what if we had, uh, one of
those old farm dogs

With one of those big old
lappin' tongues,

Who is always hungry? Why, he...

I guess that would be sort of be
a- an unsanitary dishwasher.

Yeah.
