00:00I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you
00:30Lord the fire! Can we come in?
00:57Come on in.
01:01My name's Jess Jory, this is Charlie Simms. What's your name, mister?
01:04That's none of your business, son.
01:06You know him, Charlie?
01:08Been a long time. Been set before the war.
01:12Step out where I can see you, mister.
01:20No, I don't. I don't know.
01:23Are you going to a hanging, mister? Are you the one?
01:26Take him away before he gets hurt, friend.
01:30Oh, then you are him.
01:31That's right, son.
01:33I'm the one that's come to help Morty Taw hang your brother.
01:36Yeah. Yeah, Tate, for sure.
01:40I guess I was too young to remember when you went away. I was only 15, I guess.
01:53No!
01:54I said no!
02:01I knew you were a gunfighter.
02:04I didn't want to fight.
02:07I knew you'd kill him.
02:10You got the looks of a man that likes it.
02:13Charlie, you know me better than that.
02:17You was a hard-nosed kid.
02:21I never did like you.
02:24You know how long you got to live now?
02:31Morty.
02:32Tate.
02:33You're as ugly as ever, twice as mean-looking.
02:36How long's it been?
02:38Ten years.
02:39A war and then some.
02:42Where'd it happen?
02:44Vicksburg.
02:45I didn't run fast enough, Morty.
02:47You're home, son.
02:49I'm home.
02:51I'm home.
02:53I'm home.
02:55I'm home.
02:57I'm home.
02:59I'm home, son.
03:01What do you think of it?
03:03The same.
03:05A little smaller, a little dirtier.
03:08Just a memory, Morty.
03:09It doesn't exist anymore.
03:11Mary's still here.
03:13Memory's over.
03:15Just Jory stopped me in the hills last night.
03:18I had to kill him.
03:21Our telegraph operator's got a big mouth.
03:24Come on up.
03:25I'll show you where Mary is.
03:29Come on.
03:36You gave me my life once.
03:38I haven't forgotten.
03:40I'd like to pay the debt and be on my way.
03:43Let's go hang in there.
03:45You can kiss me goodbye tomorrow morning, boy.
03:48That's when we hang in.
03:51There was a time I liked him.
03:59Hi, Morty.
04:00It's getting kind of lonesome.
04:02You want to go eat now?
04:04I kind of thought I'd go fishing.
04:08Any of them come yet?
04:10Nope.
04:11I guess they're gathering up at Charlie Simms' place.
04:14Funny thing, he ain't Ken, but he'll meet a man.
04:17You remember him?
04:18Him and you both.
04:19How are you?
04:22I'm going to go fishing, Morty.
04:24Kind of late for the day for that.
04:26What do you want me to say?
04:27That I've got a wife and family?
04:29I've got a wife and family, Morty.
04:30I want to keep alive.
04:31Don't go crawling into your hole.
04:33Morty.
04:34You took your pay in the summer, mister.
04:36Now it's winter.
04:37You either earn it or crawl out of my sight.
04:43Jason, pull!
04:44All right, Morty.
04:46Even the Lord must pay the fare with a friend.
04:56I guess neither of us have changed, Morty.
04:58You're still pretty mean inside.
05:02We couldn't have used him.
05:05Not a shotgun could have kept us alive.
05:09Unless you decide to walk away too.
05:15Do you know how many there's going to be?
05:18No.
05:19Maybe six.
05:21Maybe a dozen.
05:23Could be more.
05:25Jory's got a lot of kinfolk.
05:28They may not like him, nor what he's done.
05:32But they ain't going to see him hang.
05:34What, they died for it?
05:36Never knows both.
05:38How about the rest of the town?
05:42Come on now.
05:44I'll show you the pig.
05:46You ain't real good this week, ain't you, Morty?
05:49She killed two men.
05:51A boy.
05:52And a woman.
05:55He had to reload his shotgun to do it.
05:58Would you like to read what they said at the trial?
06:01Or have you got a weak stomach?
06:15Morty!
06:16Now that hammering ain't music to my ears.
06:21Can't you tell him to wait until I go to sleep or something?
06:30Well, but...
06:33Tate!
06:35Jory.
06:38You were here to help him?
06:40That's right.
06:43Take my life away.
06:47Well, what happened to your arm, Cripple?
06:49Got shot.
06:51If you stay here, you'll get killed, old buddy.
06:54With a shotgun?
06:56Like those others?
07:03Ah, Turley.
07:12Been a long time since anybody called me that.
07:15I guess so. You're too ugly for that now.
07:18But I can remember a curly-headed kid.
07:21I used to steal apples with and go swimming with and fight with.
07:30And now you want to hang me.
07:33You killed all those people?
07:36Yeah, I sure as old glory did.
07:38They flew around there like they was rag dolls.
07:45Tate.
07:47It's not your war.
07:50No, it ain't.
07:53But I owe that to Morty.
07:56Why didn't you just kill him?
07:59The shot went a little high.
08:02I don't know.
08:04Maybe I've been wearing this tin badge too long.
08:07Maybe I took him in the shadow.
08:10I don't know.
08:12Maybe I took him in the shadow.
08:15Maybe I took him in the shadow.
08:18Maybe I took him in the shadow.
08:21Maybe I took him in the shadow.
08:24I don't know.
08:26Maybe I took him in the shoulder on purpose.
08:29You gonna stay?
08:31Why'd he do it?
08:33Love.
08:35He wanted to marry the girl.
08:37She turned him down.
08:39He killed the whole family.
08:42Switched the trigger twice.
08:45Three times.
08:48It was a big burying.
08:51Here.
08:53I'm gonna show you in.
08:56It's just a dented tin star.
08:59Don't look like much, does it?
09:01A lot of good men have worn it, though.
09:04Raise your right hand.
09:11Anyone?
09:13He's a cousin.
09:15I don't recognize him.
09:17Hold up your hand.
09:21You know what I am, Morty?
09:23Gunfighter.
09:25Now, I know you settled out of store in that tin star.
09:29You want me to wear it?
09:31No.
09:33But nobody else will, and I owe you a debt.
09:35I know more than he does.
09:38I aimed for your heart. The shot just went a little bit high.
09:41I was a punk kid. I could have killed you, Morty.
09:44You're a bad shot.
09:46I hope you've improved.
09:48Are you going to raise your hand?
09:53You get five dollars a day.
09:55Till tomorrow morning.
10:12Not finished yet, Joey?
10:14No. It's just another jaw bite.
10:17You stink, Joey.
10:19Maybe I'll kill you tonight.
10:39How much you get paid on this job, Morty?
10:42A hundred dollars a month.
10:45How about one of these days?
10:48Ah, your coffee.
10:51You never did make good coffee.
10:53Chickery in it.
10:55Strong. You gotta have a taste for it.
10:58I guess that goes for the job, too, huh, Morty?
11:03It's as rewarding as anything.
11:06You ask yourself why you're here,
11:08and what the Lord wants you to do.
11:11You know, most lives are a waste.
11:14A doctor, a preacher, that's not a waste.
11:17Maybe a peace officer.
11:21You want me to read the Bible now?
11:25Well, it wouldn't hurt.
11:29Tate.
11:31I hope you can shoot that thing.
11:35Five times without reloading, Morty.
11:45Uh...
11:47You hear that outside?
11:50Yeah, I hear it.
11:53It's a pleasure having a large family.
11:56Like my pa, who was an educated man, used to say,
12:00a large family is a solace in a war.
12:03It's a pleasure to have a large family.
12:06It's a pleasure to have a large family.
12:09It's a pleasure to have a large family.
12:12A large family is a solace in a war to you in your time of trial.
12:16Tate.
12:21Now, get out. It's not your job.
12:26Joey.
12:29I had to kill your brother last night.
12:31He tried to stop me on the way in.
12:33Now, why don't you hang big and stop this slaughter?
12:36Jesse.
12:37That's right.
12:39Jesse.
12:40Stop it before we have to do any more killing.
12:45Grandpa!
12:54Grandpa!
12:57Grandpa!
13:06I'm hungry.
13:10I ain't no cook.
13:12It's going to be a long night.
13:14Why don't you get some sandwiches?
13:17At the Kansas City Steak Palace?
13:20It's too late.
13:22They ain't gone no place.
13:25There's a girl over there who looks a lot like your Mary.
13:30The third cousin, I think.
13:40Morning.
13:42This town should have stood by you.
13:44They're afraid.
13:47You ever been afraid, gunfighter?
13:50All the time.
13:51Get out of the light.
13:53You take care of yourself.
14:09I guess you must feel mighty proud.
14:12Has he ever done anything to you?
14:14I told Ike it was just a job.
14:16How much are you getting paid?
14:18Five dollars plus the wood and the nails.
14:20Oh.
14:24That covers your time.
14:26There's the wood and the nails.
14:28Pick it up.
14:30I'll take care of it.
14:33That covers your time.
14:35There's the wood and the nails.
14:37Pick it up, Joy.
14:39You go to hell.
14:41Mister.
14:43I come all the way from Colorado to attend this hanging.
14:47Now I'm cold, I'm tired, and I'm hungry.
14:50Now I don't know you by your first name.
14:53But you do as friend Charlie here tells you to.
14:56I'm going to shoot you where you stand.
14:59Pick up that money.
15:02You're taking too long.
15:08I'll tell you a third time, now.
15:10Tate, you're taking up some.
15:13You don't kill him by trying to stop the building of a gallow.
15:16Now go on, Charlie.
15:32The job's finished, Morty.
15:34It's for free.
15:39Who were the other two?
15:41Lord knows.
15:42Nephew or cousin?
15:45Well, I'll get some food.
15:56I was watching.
16:02You want something?
16:04Yeah.
16:08Give me about a half a dozen sandwiches.
16:10Ham's all right.
16:13Sure.
16:18I heard somebody was coming to help Morty.
16:21I didn't believe it, though.
16:23Why not?
16:25I don't know. I just didn't believe it.
16:27I never saw a gunfighter before.
16:29You married Eden's cousin?
16:32That's right.
16:35Her married name was Tate.
16:37She's been dead ten years.
16:39You look like her.
16:41That's what they say.
16:44Did you know her?
16:46No.
16:48I never saw her.
16:51I didn't move here till I was 15.
16:55I didn't move here till I was 15.
17:00We act a lot, too?
17:03Well, I can't say.
17:06It's been so long since...
17:09Since then, I can't remember anything about her except the way she looked.
17:14Sometimes I can't even remember that.
17:17You know, it's a funny thing looking like somebody else.
17:21Makes you wonder about them.
17:25You don't remember her?
17:29I mean, do we smile alike or talk alike?
17:33You know what I mean.
17:35Well...
17:37I'd say you were just a shade prettier.
17:40You're flimflamming me.
17:42No.
17:44You owe me a dollar.
17:55Come on.
18:06It's almost time. Do you want some coffee?
18:09No.
18:12I'll be here any time now.
18:16They come through that door.
18:20They'll kill you.
18:24Friend there, he's a...
18:26He's a dead man.
18:30You still got a chance to live, though you walk away from it.
18:34Do you want the coffee?
18:40Morty...
18:44I was drunk.
18:46I didn't know what I was doing to those people.
18:51You're sorry for it?
18:53Well, in my soul, sure I'm sorry for it.
18:56That's gonna make her breathe and live and love and walk again?
18:59No!
19:03I was drunk!
19:11Good morning.
19:13Good morning.
19:22You were right.
19:24I should have killed him.
19:26He saved a lot of blood on the streets.
19:31You don't want to smell it.
19:33It's going to be soon.
19:37I may as well get used to the dark.
19:39In here?
19:41It's like a fort, but I'd hate to get caught inside.
19:45You know, there's a motion going around nowadays.
19:48Punishment is to cleanse the soul.
19:51Make a man over again.
19:53But it's more than that.
19:55It's retribution.
19:57It's an eye for an eye.
20:01That's why I'm going to hang himself.
20:04And the gunfighters, too.
20:07I use it for the same reason you do, Morty.
20:10Cut down the odds.
20:12Inside or out?
20:13You say.
20:15Outside.
20:17Through the alley.
20:41I'll wait on the other side of the building.
20:45Don't blow my head off.
21:10Morty!
21:12Morty!
21:14Go home, Mike.
21:17Come out from hiding, old man.
21:19You keep talking like that, son.
21:22You're liable to lose my goodwill.
21:25Where's the gunfighter?
21:27He's in the back.
21:29I'll get him.
21:31I'll get him.
21:33I'll get him.
21:35I'll get him.
21:37I'll get him.
21:39I'll get him.
21:42Cripple!
21:53You've got a dirty mouth, boy.
21:56I've known you since I wore knee-bridges, and I don't want to kill you.
22:00Funny thing.
22:02I never even liked him.
22:04Can I know why I never liked him?
22:09Morty.
22:40You're an old fool.
22:42At least I don't work five dollars a day.
22:45Charlie Simms is still around here.
22:48At least I think he is.
22:50Rush him out.
23:09Charlie Simms.
23:39Someday...
23:41Someday...
23:42Someday nothing.
23:45You tell me something.
23:47You figure you were worth it.
23:55You all right?
24:00Why don't you stay around a while?
24:03I'm getting a little too old to have people shooting at me.
24:08Five dollars a day ain't nothing to be sneezed at.
24:11Thank you, Morty, but...
24:13that chicken in your coffee would like to kill me if I took it too often.
24:21You take care, huh?
24:26Son.
24:31Five dollars.
24:34You earned it.
24:37Thank you, Morty.
