All language subtitles for Wanted Dead or Alive s01e24 Secret Ballot

Think Barney will like him, Steve?

Oh, he'll like him, all right.

Steve! Yeah?

Wasn't there a while ago.

Kind of flutters up the view, doesn't
it?

Loopy?

Barney, I'll see him after the rally.

Tell me something, mister. Why'd you
pull that down?

Why don't you be a good fella and put it
back up again?

You're a registered voter in this city?

Oh, can't say as I am.

Well, then this banner and this election
doesn't concern you.

Why don't you just move on?

You figure Ned Easter's hired a gun to
run his campaign?

He did.

It's the greatest mistake since
buttermilk.

Good morning.

Josh! What a wonderful surprise.

It's been years, Josh.

What brings you to Crater City?

I'll tell you. Carol here.

You've got a speech to make, Mr. Kanday.
Go on. I'll make sure Josh doesn't get

away. You mind, Josh?

Not at all.

Good luck, Josh.

You go on.

I want him to know I sent for you.

He'd be furious. He thinks he can beat
him alone.

Can he?

Oh, Josh, this election's filthy. It's
worse than anything I described in that

letter.

Sounds pretty good from here.

Ned's worked hard for those cheers.

Too hard.

He deserves to win this election more
than anyone alive.

I want him to win, Josh.

What's going to stop him?

Our Honorable Mayor Barney Pax, he's had
this town under his thumb for years. He

has no intention of letting a
schoolteacher like Ned put him out of

Well, if the people want Ned Easter in
office, they're going to vote for him.

they vote at all.

Barney makes things happen his way,
Josh. He'll create convenient little

accidents.

The kind that scare people away from the
polls.

Why don't the people do something about
it?

What can they do?

Barney's made his brother sheriff just
to keep their murderous tricks fresh and

sweet and legal.

That's why I sent for you.

Maybe you can help.

Maybe.

See, Ned's the first man who's ever had
the courage to challenge Barney.

He's going to need more than that.

Where in the name of heaven did you get
this?

It was my living room, remember?

I've never seen it before. I don't think
anyone has.

Steve Pax is one of them in Colorado.

You don't think his brother's going to
let this post be circulated around town,

do you?

Josh, this could win the election for
Ned.

I'd just do that.

You hear me?

Wasn't my idea, Mr. Pack. Steve said we
should break up the rally.

You almost took my arm off, Barney.
Well, I should have.

Scaring these nice people and all.

Put this coyote in jail.

What? It's where he belongs, isn't it?

Go on.

Saying that, I sure apologize.

This is never going to happen again.

Those fools might have hurt someone.

Oh, now listen to me, all of you.

If anybody got hurt, anything got
broken, charge all the damages to me.

You hear that?

I don't care what it costs. Charge it
all to Barney Pax.

Now come on over to Dolly's and I'll buy
the drinks.

That hypocrite.

Buying votes, that's all he's doing,
buying votes.

They come mighty cheap in this town.

Takes a special kind of man to do a
thing like that.

What?

A hard like ice and a little luck, you
know.

Barney Pax has them both.

One slip and he could have killed his
own brother.

Gotten him some votes, he'd have done
it.

The time has come for you to demand and
get clean government in this city of

yours. It's time to sweep corruption out
of City Hall.

It's time to challenge this vicious and
arrogant administration that has cheated

and duped and exploited you for... Hiya,
fellas!

Hi, come on over here and lookie here.

Come on over and meet three beautiful
new dancers from Denver City.

As long as you girls are from Denver,
I'm sure you've heard of Steve Patrick.

He liked to shot up half the state of
Colorado before he skipped across the

state line.

They're not interested in that at all.
Oh, at least I think that's his name.

Yeah, yeah, Steve Patrick.

Says so right here.

You don't get out of my way out.

Where did you get this?

Oh, I collect them. Got trunks full.

Here. Ah, this is Mr. East's party.

Don't you go away now, here.

Mr. Easter, why don't you read that real
loud so the whole town can hear?

Wanted for murder.

$1 ,000 reward for the capture, dead or
alive, of Steve Pax, alias Steve

Patrick.

I'm not afraid of him anymore.

That was Josh's doing, not mine.

Thanks to you, Mr. Brown, I may soon be
hanging new drapes in the mayor's

office. Or a wreath on Josh's grave.

Ned.

I want you to leave town, Josh.

Now, look, Ned, we've been all through
this. Now, you're practically in City

Hall here. Sure.

Because you exposed the mayor's brother
as a killer.

But you forget that Steve Pax is our
sheriff. He could put a bullet in your

and call it legal.

Now, look, I'm not going to go kidding
myself. In any kind of trouble, I don't

figure I can get out of it.

Speaking of trouble, it seems to me I
remember a corp from that Easter during

the war.

Went out of his way to get me out of
trouble a couple of times.

Is that why you came here, to get me out
of trouble? No, that's not why.

Come in.

Barney Pax wants to see you, Randall.

What's he want?

Business, I guess.

Come in.

Look, it's all right, Ned. Do you hear
me? It's not all right at all. I won't

have you going out there. Listen, will
you do me a favor and just relax?

Honey, I can't let him go out. Listen to
me.

Ronnie's not going to let anything
happen to Josh. The whole town would

pulled the trigger. They won't stand for
that now, and he knows it.

I hope you're right.

Only two days away, you know.

He's back there.

After you.

After you.

You wait here.

I'll get it.

Doesn't look good for you, Randall.

Pretty bad, shooting a lawman in the
back in front of witnesses.

I'm sorry. You can't change the facts,
Ned.

Four witnesses are ready to swear that
they saw Randall shoot my brother in the

back. Josh Randall wouldn't even shoot
you in the back, Barney. So I'm charging

him with murder.

Murder? Your brother's the murderer.
He's wanted in Colorado, dead or alive.

She's right, Barney.

Your murder charge won't stand up in
court.

Court in this town's got a lot of
imagination.

Maybe this poster might appeal to your
court.

You know, there's a printer downtown.

Owes me a few favors.

He swears that he faked that poster for
Randall just to smear Steve and me.

Won't do any good, Barney. All we need
for proof is a letter from the state

capital of Colorado.

That Overland mail travels mighty slow.

Randall could be tried, convicted, and
swinging from a tree before it got here.

I wish it had been you, Barney.

I wish it had been you instead of Steve.

So?

Since you're not interested in helping
your friend to a long and happy life...

How can I help him?

Pull out of the campaign.

What are you talking about?

All you have to do, Ned, is take your
name off that ballot.

You do it tonight, and I'll change that
murder charge to self -defense.

The dedicated statesman, aren't you, Mr.
Mayor?

You'd bribe, blackmail, even put a
bullet in your brother's back just to

elected.

Well, you got your ways, I got mine.

Suppose.

Just suppose that Ned refuses to
withdraw from this campaign.

Then Randall dances at the end of a
rope.

Make it over.

Barney, wait.

I want to see Josh first.

Why?

Well, I know you may have killed him the
way you killed your brother.

Please.

I should have got out of town.

I'd like to talk to him alone.

Let's go, boy. Let's get out of here.

Josh, we haven't got time. Listen, Ned,
you're going to be married this town in

two days. Now, you hear me?

We can't be sure of that.

Barney Pax is sure. That's why he wants
you out of the running.

Don't be a fool.

Look out, John!

Where is he?

Where'd he go?

Where'd he go, Easter?

Sorry, I just didn't notice.

Find him.

There's no use, Easter.

I'm going to put a price on his head and
a target on his back.

I'm going to post his face on every tree
in the territory.

He won't be able to travel ten feet in
the daylight without some bounty hunter

putting a bullet through the back of his
head. He's going to live like a gopher

and die like a coyote.

All right, Barney.

You can have the whole ballot.

The election's yours.

I want it in writing.

A nice flowery quitting notice that we
can print up and post in all the voting

places.

You can pick it up in an hour.

It's wrong. It's wrong to throw it all
away like this.

Listen to me.

You're letting Barney Pax chase you out
of your whole career, your future, your

whole life.

What about Randall's life?

He'll get along.

He'll always get along.

Honey, I just cannot turn a good friend
of mine into a fugitive for the rest of

his life. I just can't do that.

You're a good friend.

Did your good friend ever tell you why
he came here?

What? What brought him to Crater City,
Ned? Did he ever tell you that?

No.

Guess he has a right to his own personal
life.

Does he have a right to yours?

What are you driving at?

Your good friend came here for me.

Honey, you're imagining things. It's the
truth.

Look, you're upset. He's been writing to
me for months.

I've had to burn the letters to keep
from being embarrassed.

When you've been out making speeches at
rallies, he's been here with me, trying

to talk me into going away with him.

I don't believe it.

Don't you see what he's like?

He's vicious. He's trying to ruin our
lives, your career. He ought to be

smashed.

Come in.

I'm collecting quitting notices.

It's ready.

No.

Sorry, Carol.

A deal is a deal.

Anything you folks need in a civic way,
you know where to find me.

I'll have these turned up tonight.

My expense.

You're a fool, Ned.

I guess I am.

Were you telling the truth about Josh?

What difference does it make now?

Where are you going?

Find Randall.

You don't even know where he is.

The town's not that big. I'll find him.

Not that busy.

I want Ned's resignation, Barney.

I've already taken it to the printers.

You haven't had that much time.

All right.

That Derringer only holds one shot.

You think you can make it count?

You'll know in a minute.

Do I get that resignation?

That Quinton notice is keeping the news
from around Randall's neck. I'm not

interested in Randall's neck.

You want him to hang from Harvey? That's
his worry, not mine.

What do you think, Dolly?

Give her the paper and get her out of
here.

Thank you.

One move, Pac, and I'll kill you.

Well, here's the resignation.

Josh, I... I almost killed you.

Yeah.

You almost killed me.

I've done everything wrong.

Everything.

I even lied to Ned about you.

You have to speak a little clearer.

I told him you came here because of me.

That you wanted me to... What the devil
did you tell him a thing like that

for? Because I couldn't bear to see him
quit.

Being there was Ned's dream.

My dream.

Turned it into a nightmare.

If he finds out, I...

Randall?

Carol told me why you came to Crater
City.

Was she telling the truth or wasn't she?

Yeah, she told you the truth.
