00:00Well, you're back early.
00:14Get all the work done at the ranch?
00:15Sure did.
00:16Everything's locked up and all the animals are fed.
00:18Good.
00:19Any homework to do?
00:20Well, a little bit of arithmetic.
00:21Why don't you go over to Micah's office and finish up?
00:24Then I'll buy us both dinner at the hotel.
00:26Yes, sir.
00:27Say, Pa, are we going to be staying in town the whole two weeks that Micah's gone?
00:32Yeah, as long as I'm doing his job for him.
00:34It's fine.
00:35Nothing, just that, uh, that way we get to eat at the hotel and I don't have any dishes
00:39to wash.
00:40Go on.
00:41See you later.
01:13I'm sorry.
01:14We're just closing.
01:15Oh, doggone.
01:16Uh, well, can't you stay open a minute?
01:18I just got into town.
01:19What is it you want?
01:20Well, I got some money here in my pocket and, uh...
01:23You want to make a deposit?
01:24Yeah, that's right.
01:25See, I figure on, uh, staying around these parts and maybe getting myself a job and going
01:29to work and...
01:30Well, I'd just like to know that what I got is safe.
01:32You know what I mean?
01:33Otherwise, I'm liable to go out there and spend it or even lose it, maybe.
01:37Well, my clerk just left, but, uh, well, a banker can't very well turn down taking money,
01:42can he?
01:43Tell me.
01:44Well, thank you.
01:45Thank you very much.
01:46I really appreciate this.
01:47I said I appreciate it.
01:48Now you're going to find out how much.
01:49The Rifleman.
01:50Starring Chuck Connors.
01:52Is that all?
01:53Isn't that enough?
01:54Yeah.

02:20Let's go.
02:21Practically the entire cash assets of this institution.
02:24Yeah?
02:25Well, I guess it's enough then.
02:26Come on, follow me.
02:31Come on.
02:42Now, listen to me.
02:43You're going to raise up this window shade, when I'm leaving here, you're going to smile
02:48and wave at me like I was an old friend.
02:50And you're saying goodbye, too.
02:52Now, you don't do like I tell you.
02:54I'll put a bullet through that window, right into you.
02:56You understand me?
02:58All right.
03:00Now, you lift it up, and you smile.
03:04Smile.
03:10Smile.
03:12That's a real beauty.
03:14Now, you stay just like that.
03:20Smile.
03:22Smile.
03:48You! Hold it!
03:52Don't try it.
03:56Look, it's in his shirt.
03:58The bank's money.
04:00Who are you?
04:04Oh, he's passed out.
04:06Carry him over to the docks, please.
04:10You seem just like an ordinary trail hand, Lucas.
04:12Fool me completely.
04:14Pay back your receipt.
04:16That's all.
04:18From where?
04:20Barhorn Ranch, outside Salinas.
04:22Rudy Ray.
04:24Can you imagine a loaner like that holding up my bank?
04:26You better get that money back to the bank, John.
04:28Oh, yeah.
04:30Mark, will you take care of the horse, son?
04:32Ask Nils to put him up.
04:34All right, boss.
04:36Come on.
04:50Shut the door, Lucas.
04:52You know what I'm talking about.
05:04What do you think, Doc?
05:06Can't say.
05:08If you don't hemorrhage or he ain't moved, you might have a chance.
05:10But I doubt it.
05:12But he can't keep him here.
05:14Who says?
05:16He's gonna need a lot of attention. I got a room back there.
05:18You move him to jail or anyplace else,
05:20you got a man on your hands for sure.
05:22My job is to save lives, and I say he stays right here.
05:24He certainly can't get up and walk away, Lucas.
05:28All right, but keep me posted.
05:30If he starts talking, I want to know about it.
05:32I'll be in the telegraph office.
05:51Foley.
05:53Listen to this.
05:55Rudy Gray done got himself shot down to New Mexico territory.
05:58Place called, uh, North Fork.
06:01Uh, trying to rob another bank.
06:03Oh, darn fool.
06:05Let me see.
06:07And all that time they've been looking for him up around here.
06:12$2,000.
06:15If the sheriff had known Gray was gonna get it so quick,
06:17he could have saved the taxpayers some money.
06:19Instead of paying it out to them folks down there.
06:21Yeah. You didn't read this too good.
06:23What do you mean?
06:25Well, looky here. It says, uh,
06:27man tentatively identified as Rudy Gray,
06:29caught and shot during North Fork Bank holdup.
06:33Identification places him
06:35Farhorn Ranch, your area.
06:37Gray unconscious, not expected to live.
06:39Please advise. McCain, deputy marshal.
06:41So?
06:43So?
06:45Well, don't you see? The way this reads,
06:46they don't even know who he is.
06:48Well, the sheriff will sure let them know
06:50when I give them that.
06:55Will you please go over there and sit down and behave yourself?
07:01Oh, let's see. Two weeks.
07:03Two weeks ago, he was working at the Barhorn
07:06till he killed that bank clerk
07:07trying to get off of the payroll.
07:09Well, the sheriff,
07:11he didn't send in those wanted posters
07:14to the federal marshal's office in Denver
07:16until...
07:18Couldn't be more than three days ago.
07:20Yeah, that's right.
07:22Them posters, they...
07:24They must not have got them in North Fork yet.
07:28It kind of looks that way, doesn't it?
07:31If this McCain fella
07:33knew who Rudy was, I mean,
07:35if he had a poster or something,
07:37he wouldn't be saying here,
07:38please advise. He'd be yelling for his money, wouldn't he?
07:40The Denver marshal sends him out on the stage.
07:42Let's see.
07:44North, North, North Fork.
07:46Here it is.
07:47The Denver stage isn't due through there
07:49till, uh, let's see, once a month.
07:52Next Friday.
07:54They couldn't have them posters yet.
07:56And they can't know about it.
07:59See, North Fork, that's...
08:01Oh, about a two-day ride.
08:03I could be down there by...
08:06Thursday at the latest, pick up old Rudy.
08:09I could be out of that town before this...
08:12McCain even knew he was wanted.
08:14Sure.
08:15And then he'd get them posters on Friday.
08:17And he'd be wiring up here after you first thing.
08:23And you'd get the wire
08:25and you'd forget to turn it over to the sheriff
08:27just the way you're going to forget
08:28to turn this one over to him.
08:30And you and I'd be gone
08:31before anybody knew the difference.
08:33I don't know, Fowler.
08:35Oh, come on, Tom.
08:37It says right there on the poster, doesn't it?
08:39Wanted dead or alive.
08:41Look it here, uh, gray, unconscious,
08:44not expected to live.
08:47And we could kind of use a thousand dollars apiece,
08:49now, couldn't we?
08:51Can you get away with it?
08:53You got to make out to be somebody else, you know.
08:57Oh, yeah, that's...
08:59That's easy enough, that's no problem.
09:01Simplest thing in the world.
09:03I think.
09:05I'll bet you $2,000 I can do it.
09:08How's that?
09:18Come in.
09:26How's he doing?
09:28Ah, fever's getting to him.
09:30Burning up one minute,
09:31cold and soaking wet the next.
09:33Any chance?
09:35Any chance?
09:37Day, maybe two.
09:39Nothing more I can do.
09:41Doc, you, uh...
09:44You couldn't make that three days, could you?
09:46Huh?
09:47And the sheriff and Salinas.
09:51Rudy Gray, local family.
09:54Do everything possible.
09:56Brother arriving by Thursday.
10:00I don't know, Lucas.
10:02I don't know.
10:04Do what you can.
10:35Come on.
10:47Sir?
10:49You, uh...
10:51I see your deputy badge. Would you be McCain?
10:53That's right.
10:54My name is Gray, Tom Gray.
10:56I just come in from Salinas.
10:57Mr. Gray.
10:59My, uh...
11:00Brother, Rudy, where is he?
11:02He's at the doc's office.
11:04Is he still alive?
11:06He's still alive.
11:10Well, I come as fast as I could,
11:13but there's not much hope, Mr. Gray.
11:16I'd like to see him.
11:26Doc.
11:29This is, uh, Tom Gray, the brother.
11:32Oh.
11:33How do you do, Doctor?
11:35I'm sorry, Mr. Gray. I did everything I could.
11:38But he never regained consciousness.
11:43You mean he's gone?
11:45No.
11:47Not yet, but...
11:49Well, I want to see him.
11:54He's in there.
11:59Come on.
12:04I'd like to see him alone for a minute, if you don't mind.
12:07Come on.
12:26There's no sense in you and me wasting any time, is there?
12:38Sugar?
12:45Doc?
12:47Doc, come in here!
12:55He stopped breathing.
13:08I'm sorry.
13:10It's just luck that he lasted this long.
13:18He... He just quit.
13:38What about your family?
13:41I can wire Salinas.
13:44No, no.
13:46Don't do that.
13:50It's all over, isn't it?
13:52There ain't nothing more you can do to him now.
13:55He robbed your bank.
13:57He robbed the bank.
13:59He robbed the bank.
14:01He robbed the bank.
14:03He robbed the bank.
14:06He robbed your bank, and he paid for it, and that's the end of it.
14:12It's true, isn't it?
14:14I suppose so.
14:16Well...
14:18I just want to take him home.
14:23As quietly as I can.
14:26Be a whole lot easier on the folks.
14:28They're kind of old, and...
14:32Be a lot easier on them if I can do it my way, and...
14:36Instead of...
14:38Just sending some kind of cold telegram.
14:43All right.
14:45Blacksmith will have to make a box.
14:48And tomorrow, you can take your brother home on the Denver stage.
14:53On the stage?
14:55It's due in the morning. Goes back by way of Salinas.
14:58Well...
15:00Something wrong, Mr. Gray?
15:02Well, no, nothing wrong.
15:06I just... I don't want to take him on the stage, that's all.
15:09All them people...
15:12Shooting their mouths off and being sympathetic.
15:14I don't need that.
15:16Well, nobody on the stage has to know.
15:18Couldn't I just do it my way?
15:21Just him and me.
15:23I'll buy a wagon. There's no law against that, is there?
15:25Having a little privacy.
15:27No, no law.
15:29I guess you're entitled to that much.
15:34Doc, uh...
15:36You, uh...
15:38Keep him here?
15:40The undertaker just up the street.
15:42Oh.
15:44Well, I'll tend to that and, uh...
15:46See if I can get him a wagon.
15:50Doc, I don't know how to thank you.
15:52If you'll just tell me how much I owe you.
15:56It's all right, Mr. Gray.
15:58I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
16:00There's no charge.
16:04That's kind of you, Doc.
16:06Awfully kind, and I thank you for it.
16:09What's the matter?
16:11Oh, nothing, Doc. I'll see you later.
16:38I'll see you later.
17:08Come on.
17:34Pa?
17:36Are you gonna be going to bed?
17:38In a while. How's the homework?
17:40All finished.
17:42Well, you'd better get ready for bed, too.
17:46That hammering and sawing Nils is doing,
17:49when you know what it's for,
17:51well, it just doesn't sound the same
17:53as when you're fixing a fence or something like that.
17:55No, it doesn't, son.
17:57Well, I'm gonna have another look around town.
17:59I'll be back in a few minutes.
18:01You better go get your books.
18:03All right.
18:06Come on.
18:33Mr. McCain?
18:35Nils?
18:37Yo. Nice and quiet.
18:39Yeah, it is.
18:41I hope all this noise isn't disturbing everybody.
18:43Well, it has to be done.
18:45Yeah, I suppose it does.
18:47I was just on my way over to Blacksmith's
18:49to see how he was making out.
18:51I'll walk over with you. Get you the wagon?
18:53Yeah, he did. Nice little buckboard.
19:05Oh, howdy, Lucas.
19:07Mr. Gray.
19:09Are you about finished?
19:11Yeah, just a little sanding, and she'll be all done.
19:13Well, that's fine.
19:15That's, uh...
19:17That's fine. Nice wood.
19:19Rudy would be proud.
19:21Well, I got the buckboard out back,
19:23and as soon as I finish, I'll load her up,
19:25and all you got to do in the morning is take her around
19:27and get your brother.
19:29Well, I... I don't know what the cost is, but...
19:32I don't like to charge for...
19:34Well, it'll just be $3 for the material.
19:38Holy gee.
19:40You folks have been awful good to me.
19:42I'm just terribly sorry
19:44that you had to get mixed up in it at all.
19:48Well, it's been a long day.
19:50I'm awfully tired, I don't mind telling you.
19:53Tomorrow we'll, uh...
19:57Well, tomorrow I'll be here soon enough.
19:59I guess I'll go turn in.
20:01I want to thank you, Nelson.
20:03Good night, Mr. Gray.
20:05Good night, Mr. McCain.
20:13Nice fella.
20:15Sure is taking it hard.
20:17Yeah, I guess he is.
20:23Good night, Nelson.
20:25Good night, Lucas.
20:33Good night.
21:03Good night.
21:34¶¶
21:58¶¶
22:03¶¶
22:34¶¶
22:48That's far enough.
22:51Mr. McCain.
22:53That's right.
22:55Take your hand away from that gun.
22:59You sure gave me a turn coming out of the shadows that way.
23:02I was just, uh...
23:05Well, I just wanted to see my brother was all right, you know.
23:09You wanted to get that body out of here
23:11before the Denver stage arrives in the morning.
23:13That's what you wanted, bounty hunter?
23:15Bounty hunter?
23:17I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. McCain.
23:20Rudy Gray is my brother.
23:22I wired the Denver marshal.
23:24Rudy Gray has no family.
23:26All he's got is a price on his head.
23:32¶¶
23:53Got a telegram from the sheriff up in Salinas, Pa.
23:56He arrested that clerk that was working with Mr. Foley.
23:59Good.
24:03You have to write out another report?
24:05Mm, that's the worst part of taking over for Micah.
24:08Every time you get a job done,
24:10you've got to write a long letter to the marshal in Denver
24:12telling him all about it.
24:14When I attempted to pick up that bounty hunter...
24:20When I attempted to... To stop...
24:23Pa.
24:25Apprehend.
24:27Apprehend.
24:29Thank you, Mark.
24:32¶¶
24:38Apprehend.
