Mr. Look, I've been riding all day If you look at my horse, you can tell he needs water. You got a well I'll be willing to pay How much you tell me it's your water You willing to pay $2 that's your price Let me see the money here All right You can have the water dismount and walk your horse up to that truck by the pump I'll be right behind you with his right. That's walk. You're mighty free with that rifle Been a lot of horse stealing lately You got a lot of horses You out back They're good ones They're worth stealing. I don't take any chances I see Man don't just happen to wander on to my land This ain't on the road to no place. I wouldn't be here if I hadn't got lost. I was on my way to Morgan Hill You bet it in 10 miles from Morgan Hill Not much water in the trough. There's more when it's gone I'm afraid I won't have any luck picking up that trail before morning. It's gonna be a dark night What is it Agnes? Supper's on the table I'll be in in a minute What's he doing here? Watering his horse Dirk I heard the shootin. What was it? Nothing Who's that man with you? Stranger Is he staying for supper? No Don need more water. Well, you just pump it yourself Don't trust him He ain't dead. He ain't movin Why'd you do it? I aimed to find out who he is Like he's breathing. He's breathing There ought to be something in this wallet telling who he is here You read the printing on this card It says Have gun will travel wire Paladin San Francisco his name is Paladin and that card means he's a hired gun You don't think I might unknown come snooping around here near dark saying he's lost. You think the ranch is hired? Yeah Probably old Fred Mosley. I got more of his horses than any others Don't pay really does what do you mean?

I Tried to reach up and stop the throbbing but my hands wouldn't move they were tied behind my back. I Tried to move my legs, but I only felt the rope that was binding them together Finally when I was able to focus my eyes I found I was lying in a bed in the corner of the cabin In the middle of the room there was a table with a dim lamp on it and the woman Agnes was bending over a box Stuffing it with pots and pans She must have heard me move because she looked up wide Why did he hit me? He didn't kill you Why would he want to kill me? We're on to you mister Dirk thought you look suspicious, and he was right. He found your card We know you was hired by the ranches to come after Dirk. I Don't know what you're talking about. I suppose you deny your name's paladin. No That's my name. Well, don't be tricking me You can be honest with me because I saved your life Dirk wanted to kill you, but I talked him out of it You can thank me for that I'm grateful. I Do thank you It ain't your skin. I'm worried about I'm just not gonna have my husband start killing Why would the ranchers hire me to get Dirk? There you go again. Now listen I Don't know who your husband is or what he's done. I Was lost the smoke from your cabin led me here. I wasn't hired by any ranchers I don't know anybody the side of Morgan Hill now believe me. I'm telling you the truth If you are We wouldn't have to move on. I'm telling you the truth. We could stay here. You believe me Maybe I do I wasn't lying I'd like to believe you maybe because I'm tired of running Maybe because I like this valley cabin I Told you to keep the door closed What do you want? He woke up. Is that why you called me in here? I was talking to him. I Think you ought to hear what he's got to say. We don't have time to break with bounty hunters I got the wagon hitched up. Are you done with the packing? He says he wasn't hired by the ranchers He's been giving you some soft talk. You always was a sucker for soft talk I wasn't soft talking your wife the ranchers didn't hire me if he's telling the truth We don't have to run. I'm not taking any Down so light get down on the floor. Can you see anything? No No, it's pitch dark out there That's Fred Mosley come on get me Mosley There's the answer to your soft talking friend Agnes listen to me and she was beginning to believe you I was right You was hired by the Mosley gang. I don't know Mosley. I didn't know you were a horse thief You ain't even a good liar. Look if you'll untie me, I'll prove to you. I'm not with those men I'll help you out of here and see to it. You get a fair trial Otherwise, they'll hang you Derek maybe what he's tricking us again. Don't listen to a madness. He led those men here I should have killed you in the first place and I shoot you now, but I got a better plan Mosley I got your man tied up in here What man? The man you hired to come after me He says he was hired by you His name's Paladin I'm gonna shoot him if you don't leave me be You're wasting your breath trying to fool us, Dirk. If you don't come out, we'll burn y'all You believe me now Dirk? Maybe he was telling the truth It don't matter now whether I believe you or not. They're gonna burn the cabin Paladin What would you do if we untied you? Help to see that your husband doesn't get lynched. How can you do that? Well, there's at least three men out there and they're not gonna settle for anything less than a lynching no matter what you or anybody else says to them besides What do you care if I hang or not? I believe in a fair trial Man's guilty. It should be decided in the courtroom Trial or no trial. I'm gonna hang at least you wouldn't hang tonight You'll have a chance to hire a good lawyer. Are you coming out, Dirk? Or do you want to stay there and fry? Paladin How do you figure on getting me this fair trial you're talking about? Give yourself up They'll take you nearby. I can follow you and surprise them before they get the rope around your neck Agnes can go with me with a shotgun with us undercover in the dark. The odds will be just about even All right All right, maybe it'll work, but there's just one thing you didn't mention. What's that? Agnes will stay behind you all the way with that shotgun and She'll shoot you if you don't do what you just now said Fair enough All right, Agnes on time For 30 years almost as long as network broadcasting itself listeners have relied on Lowell Thomas colorful coverage of the day's events Why his continuing popularity? Several reasons for one mr.. Thomas insists on accuracy in the reports he broadcasts Listeners know they can rely on his news broadcasts to mr.. Thomas because of the thousands of acquaintances His globe-circling expeditions have brought him everywhere adds personal side lights and high human interest to the day's news Giving it added color dimension and meaning add to this a well-honed talent for integrating many items from many places Into one meaningful hole and you have all the keys to Lowell Thomas 30-year reign as reporter Lecturer and CBS radio rack and tear mr.. Thomas and our great staff of CBS newsmen reporters Correspondents and commentators see that you're kept well informed kept alert to the constantly changing pattern of world events clear colorful complete CBS news on CBS radio Fred Mosley didn't believe there was another man in the cabin. I hid behind the door, but they didn't bother to come inside They were only interested in Dirk Agnes stood outside until they were gone and a few minutes later. We were on horseback following the sound of Mosley and his men Paladin yeah, I'm scared For yourself or Dirk for Dirk Don't think about it. Ain't no cause for me to hold this shotgun on you there. No. No, there isn't I can feel it You're different from most You're clean They ain't no pretending with you. I know that for sure now Hold up. I get down walk from here Follow me and be as quiet as you can There they are quiet now Come on All right Let's stop here Yeah Ready to slap the horse out from under him hurry paladin Stay behind this rock Keep the shotgun trained on Mosley, but don't shoot unless you have to I'm gonna move up closer Mosley who's that I Got four men with me armed with shotguns We say you're not gonna hang Dirk I can see you Not likely Why do you want to stop a hanging? He's a horse leave Clear out Mosley before we start shooting How do I know there's four of you? Trias You don't leave me much choice, mister Can't fight men. We can't see All right, Tom you and Bill get on your horses Okay Mosley don't try anything. We're leaving Agnes stay back there Dirk can you hear me? You cut him down in time didn't you? He's all right He ain't moving, but I know he's all right Ain't he he's dead. We didn't stop him. Did we? Slap that horse out from under Dirk right before our very eyes I'm sorry Agnes You tried that's all you could do you want to cry Agnes go ahead It'd help I Don't want to cry.
