♪

♪

Ho, ho.

I'm sorry, mister,
we're not open yet.

But I can give you a drink
of this, if it'll help.

Where does the doctor live?

What happened to him?

Where can I find the doctor?

Next to the last house
on that side of the street.

Thanks. Yah. Git.

I'm coming.

- Yes?
- Is the doctor in, ma'am?

No, he isn't.

When do you expect him?

My husband won't be able
to help you.

Why?

Because tomorrow morning,

they're going to take him out
and hang him.

♪

Thank you, Fred.

Is your husband
the only doctor in town?

Concho's not big enough
for two doctors.

Can you help him?

He looks pretty bad.

Watch him. I'll be right back.

Where you going?

To get your husband.

They won't let you near him.

I only see Ben once a day
for 10 minutes.

I'll see him.

Mister, going somewhere?

- Inside.
- No, you ain't.

- Any reason?
- Two reasons.

Me and this here.

I gotta see Dr. Kinkaid.

No, you don't.

I get paid two extra dollars
to make certain

no one gets near Dr. Kinkaid.

Now get on outta here.

Whaaa...!

My gun!

Stay right where you are.
I'll take the gun belt.

Use your left hand.
Throw it on the desk.

Now sit down.

Hold it, Lonnie.

He jumped me, Sheriff.
Now I want a piece of him.

You go on back outside.
Gotta earn your wages.

Now...

- what do you want?
- I'm with a trail drive.

I got a man hurt.
He needs a doctor.

So?

Kinkaid's the only one around.

You almost got a face
full of buckshot for nothing.

Kinkaid can't do
a thing for you.

Why not?
You can stand guard over him.

The only time he leaves
that cell is tomorrow

when we take him out
and hang him.

Sheriff,
if it wasn't for my boss,

I'd be dead right now.

I've got to get him some help.

Sorry, only Judge Markham
can unlock that cell

before tomorrow,
and he's not about to.

- Judge...
- Markham.

Where can I find him?

Big house the north end of town.

But you're wasting your time.

I'll keep that safe for you.

One word of advice, though.

Get your friend to another town.

You push too hard in Concho,

you'll get yourself
in bad trouble.

Better not try that again!

♪

Judge Markham?

- Yes.
- Name's Tate.

I got a problem
that needs your help.

Oh, well, come in. Come in.

Forgive the looks of my study.

I live in here most of the time.

Just make yourself comfortable.
Would you like a cup of coffee?

Thank you.

Here. Help yourself.

I need it to warm my bones
in the morning.

What can I do for you?

We had an accident, sir.

I've got a man hurt
over at Doc Kinkaid's house.

Sheriff says I need your say-so
before the Doc can tend him.

Oh, it's totally out
of the question.

Doc Kinkaid
was tried for murder,

convicted by a jury,
and sentenced to hang.

As a condemned prisoner,
he has no rights or privileges.

I only know I got a man hurt,
and you can help him.

You don't let a murderer
roam the streets for any reason.

There's a doctor in Pine Ridge.

Pine Ridge is a day's ride.

I'm sorry.
Kinkaid stays behind bars.

- Can't you make a...
- That's all there is to it.

Well, if anything happens
to the Colonel

because he didn't get help
in time,

I'm gonna hold you to blame.

Is that a threat, young man?

No, that's a promise.

He refused?

He said there was a doctor
in Pine Ridge we could go to.

Sam Logan. He's a good doctor.

He won't do us any good.

Sorry.

I brought him in
as fast as I could.

I'm going after our drovers.

What for?

Only a sheriff
and deputy guard that jail.

They're not about
to stand up against ten men.

Break Ben out of jail?

Only long enough for him
to treat the Colonel.

Don't try it.

Sam Tarv is tough and stubborn.

And he's no coward.
He'll fight you.

And everybody around
will come to his help.

You'll end up like Ben.
Be reasonable.

I have been.
It's somebody else's turn.

Young man.

Good morning.

Uh, where's the injured man?

In here.

May I see him, please?

Who did you say he was?

Colonel MacKenzie, Shiloh Ranch.

Where is he hurt?

Ribs. I think they're broke.

How is he?

He's weak and getting weaker.

Just from a broken rib?

It must be more.

Well...

Well, Mister, uh...

Tate.

Mr. Tate, I'm not being
as arbitrary as it seems.

I'd have Kinkaid here
in a minute if I thought

it would do any good,
but it wouldn't.

The man is grossly incompetent.

That's not true.

John, i-it's just not true.

Can you deny
the mistakes he's made,

the tragic, deadly mistakes?

Ben did the best he could.
Always.

Too many times,
it wasn't enough.

If that doctor knows
anything at all,

it's better than any of us.

All right, come with me.

Mr. Tate!

What he said about my husband...

it's not true.

You understand my decision
was not influenced

by the conversation
we had at my house.

I didn't say it was.

I take hard and direct action
against threats,

but I can understand
the reason behind yours.

However, Mr. Tate,
don't do it again.

Good morning, Sam.

Sorry to interrupt
your breakfast.

I was just finished.

I see you two
got together after all.

Yes, Sam, I want you
to release Kinkaid.

You what?

Just long enough
to treat a patient,

and under strict guard
at all times.

I don't know, Judge, that's...
That's kind of a risk isn't it?

I expect you can take
the risk out of it.

Well, if you say so.

You don't pay much attention
to advice, do you?

They're letting you
out of here for a spell.

Let's go.

Go where and do what?

Friend of mine is hurt.

Come to the wrong man.
I'm not a doctor.

I'm a murderer.
Ask the Honorable John Markham.

He's hurting bad.
He needs your help.

I can't help anybody.
I don't want to help anybody.

I should have known. You see?

Your wife said you'd help,
said you'd care.

Let's get out of here.

Wait a minute.

Is he at my house?

That's right.

Changed my mind.

Oh, Ben, Ben.

Marie, is everything
all right with you?

Yes, I'm fine.
Oh, you look so tired.

Just get on with it, Ben.

How did this happen?

We were trail herding north.

Lightning storm hit.

Had the cattle on the verge
of running all night.

I was dog tired this morning
when we started out.

I guess I was dozing.

Then a rattler spooked my horse.

Went right off backwards.

Got my foot hung up.
I was in a bad way.

Colonel MacKenzie
got me back in the saddle

before I got my neck broke.

Took a kick in the side for it.

How long ago did this happen?

A couple of hours,
I guess, by now.

And he's got a couple
of broken ribs,

but that isn't the problem.

The jagged end of one
has punctured his spleen.

What does that mean?

If the damage isn't repaired,

the bleeding will continue,
the spleen will rupture,

and he'll die.

Can't you do anything?

- Operate.
- When?

Now.

Let's get a man on a fast horse,

send him to Pine Ridge
for Doc Logan.

Wait a minute. Is there time?

Not in my judgment.

Do you know
how this operation is done?

I advise against it.

John, he'll be dead
before a rider

even reaches Pine Ridge.

Well, it's your decision.
I still say no.

No, it's not mine.

You're right. It's his.

Brandy.

MacKenzie of Shiloh.

Wealthy man.

Must be a comfort to have
all the money you need.

All I have is a mortgage
on this house

and a stack of unpaid bills,

not much to leave someone
you vowed to love,

cherish, and provide for,
is it, Judge?

Colonel?

Colonel, can you hear me?

Tate? Tate?

- Right here.
- Oh.

Colonel MacKenzie,
I'm Dr. Kinkaid.

You've been seriously hurt.

Do I have your permission
to operate?

Operate?

Colonel MacKenzie, don't do it.

I don't understand.
What's happening?

You just got busted up a little.

Doc here says
he can fix you right up.

I...

You make the decisions, Tate.

Well?

Operate.

The fee will be high.

$10,000 to be paid to my wife
regardless of the outcome.

Now do you see?

He's using fear
to force this operation.

Which means $10,000 for him

and could mean MacKenzie's life

for an operation
he might not even need.

Well, don't do it.
Don't take the chance.

Go ahead.

Judge?

With your dedication
and respect for the law,

I'm sure you'll see that
this agreement is honored.

In 30 years, I've never dirtied

or abused my profession,
but you,

how many people
have you butchered, maimed,

killed and then hid
your incompetence

behind the protection
of your profession, how many?

And now this, blackmail.

I've sent men to the gallows
and felt pity and regret

for each one of them,
but not for you, Kinkaid.

Not for you.

For what it's worth,
I'd say Ben's as good

as most doctors around.

Thank you, Sam.

Right now,
he's the only doctor around.

Time we got started.

- Good morning, Seth.
- Morning.

Expecting lots of folks
in town tomorrow?

Usually are for a hanging.

Funny how it makes them
want to buy.

I guess you wouldn't mind
one a week.

Twice a week
if they got it coming.

Never if they don't.

He's under.

Tate, there's
something you can do.

Handle the ether.

Give him one or two drops
every now and then.

I'm hanging tomorrow
for a crime I didn't commit.

It's just not right, Sam.

He killed Gannon.

I was drunk.

Maybe I did shoot him,
but I wouldn't murder anybody.

He wouldn't.

The jury says he did.

It was self-defense.

Right now I don't care.

Now stop the talking
and keep working.

There was one witness
to what happened.

Her testimony convicted me.

Now I don't know why,
but she lied.

You go to her,
convince her to tell the truth.

You do,
I still have a chance to live.

I'll go
when you're through here.

You go now, or I am through now.

But you can't do that.

This will take two hours
at the most.

You be back here before then
or I won't even sew him up.

Sheriff?

You just get Tracy
to change her story

- in front of witnesses.
- She won't do it!

And if he tries to force her
in any way, he'll go to jail.

You'd better convince her, Tate.

You'd better. Otherwise...

Ben, you'd do this?

A man will do almost anything
not to hang.

You're wasting time.

Where do I find this Tracy?

She works at the saloon.

You have less
than two hours now.

♪

All right now, gentlemen,
pay close attention.

Here is your chance,
an opportunity to win $50.

Look what I have here in my hat,
huh?

I have 60 slips of paper,
gentlemen.

All you have to do
is to pick a number

that's marked with
the closest time

when the trap is sprung
on the hanging tomorrow,

and you know what happens
with that, gentlemen?

For one dollar invested,
you get $50.

That's what you can win.

Hey, wait a minute,
you said there's 60 slips.

What about the extra $10?

All right now, gentlemen,
I'll answer it.

Gentlemen, surely,
aren't I entitled

to an honest profit
on my little venture, huh?

All right, I'll pay.

All right, thank you.
Take a number there.

And you, sir?

All right now, just pick
a number right out of the hat.

Thank you.

And you, sir?

What'll it be?

Whiskey.

I still think
he's got a racket going.

Give us a couple
of drinks up here.

Right.

Say, which one's Tracy?

Over there. But she's taken.

See, when I get to be Sheriff,
well, then I'll...

Hello.

Hi. Did your friend
get fixed up?

Dr. Kinkaid's operating
on him right now.

They let him out, huh?

Mister, do you want something?

- I want to talk to her.
- Some other time.

Come on.

Oh... I'm busy right now.

That's right, and she's gonna
stay busy, so take off.

Come on.

Mister,
I told you to get out of here.

Friend, don't start unless
you're ready to go all the way.

Now cut it out, both of you.

You'll cost me my job.

Honey, just a couple
of minutes, huh?

I'll make it up to you,
I promise.

Well, I have to relieve
the Sheriff anyhow.

Be gone when I get back.

Lonnie is a good customer.

I hope you didn't
make me lose him.

He'll be back. He's hungry.

That's for sure.

Now, what's so
important it made you

almost tear this place apart?

I want to know about
the Kinkaid murder.

My boss's life depends on it.

Mister, I don't know
what kind of games you play,

but find yourself another...

No games.

Now you interest me.

What do you want to know?

All you can tell me.

Well, it happened
about two weeks ago

in a room upstairs.

Kinkaid and Gannon were
playing head-to-head poker.

I was there
because Gannon always liked

to have a woman around him.

He paid for it.

That's my job,
to keep the customer happy.

Gannon was a professional,
but honest.

The way Kinkaid drank
and played his cards,

all Gannon had to do
was deal the cards

and rake in the money.

All Kinkaid could do right
was empty his glass.

The Doc was down
to his last $60.

I watched his savings,
all he had,

go across that table.

I never saw a man
so desperate to win.

I saw him hide a card.
Gannon didn't.

It smelled trouble,
but it wasn't my trouble,

so I kept my mouth shut.

The way Kinkaid tried to cheat,

a child could have
caught him at it.

When Kinkaid saw Gannon
rake in the money,

something must have
broke inside him.

It was all his money,
all he had left.

Gannon hit him.

Doc went wild.

There was a shot.

Gannon fell.

I knew he was dead.

That's about it.

I ran out of the room.
They called the Sheriff.

Before he got here,
Kinkaid must've crawled

out of the window and took off.

Doctors don't usually
carry guns.

Of course, Kinkaid doesn't act
like a usual doctor.

Did you see him pull the gun?

Well, they were struggling
close together.

Anyway,
they never found any gun.

Jury figured Doc threw it away.

They never proved
whose gun it was, then?

No, but I saw it in Doc's hand.

I saw it.

Kinkaid said you lied.

Mister, I don't pretend.

I know what I am.

This is it for me.

If a man has the money,
I do my best to pleasure him.

I sit alone at church.

But I go to church.

And when I place my hand
on the Holy Bible

and swear to tell the truth,
I tell the truth.

Sorry.

Forget it.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe when this is all over,
you'll stop by,

and we'll have a drink together.

Maybe.

Turn around.

I don't want a move out of you.

Well?

She wouldn't change her story.

Go, Ben, out the back.

Run.

How far would I get?

I'd be caught, you'd go to jail.

Ben, please.

More ether.

Do you want him to come to?

Sheriff will have something
to say about this.

Don't tell him.

What, let her get away with it?

You want to look like a fool?

Instruments that do
half the job.

Inadequate conditions.

How do they expect
a doctor to save anybody?

You know, there were no medical
schools where I came from,

just a... a man who knew
a little bit more than I did.

I learned surgery by doing.

A thousand mangled bodies
from Bull Run to Appomattox.

I'm still learning.

So many lives I lost
because we don't know.

We just don't know.

I need a drink.

Tate, bring that bottle over.

Well, come on! Come on!

Lori.

Please, Lori? Please?

Give it to him.

It makes you forget
the last one,

gives you courage for the next.

And when they die
because you don't know enough,

you blame yourself.

But you go on because...

there's no one else.

Up to you, Judge.

Hmm.

Oh, Tracy?

Tracy, what would you do
with this hand?

Oh, I'd go to the bank,
take out all my money,

and bet it.

I agree.
Five dollars, gentlemen.

I fold.

Wise decision. Pair of fives.

Well, I folded
with three of a kind.

But you said that if he went...

Never believe
anything a woman says.

Sit down here
for a few hands, Tracy.

Ah, getting a pretty good crowd
today, aren't we?

Oh, I saw you talking
to that... that Mr. Tate.

Quite a chap.

I think so.

Ante up, gentlemen.

Find out anything?

Not much.

I didn't think you would.

Tracy said Kinkaid ran
after he shot Gannon.

I went to his house.
He was there.

He put up much of a fight?

No, he and his missus

was just sitting around
the parlor waiting.

Gannon must've been a good
friend of Judge Markham's.

The Judge can't abide tin-horns.

Did the Doc get a fair trial?

Had his day in court.
He spoke his peace.

Others spoke theirs.

Hard to say
who was telling the truth.

Stories couldn't have been
more different.

I've known him for 28 years.

In all that time,

Ben never carried a gun, never.

No, sir,
I found no gun in the room.

She's dead.

I'm sorry.

I saw him holding the gun.

No one entered the room
until the Sheriff got there.

Went over every inch of ground
between the saloon

and his house, couldn't find it.

I don't know what happened. I...

I just know I...
I couldn't save her.

Hanged by the neck
until you are dead.

What do you figure
happened to the gun?

I figured
the same thing the jury did.

He took it with him when he ran
and dropped it somewhere.

Shooting a man doesn't make
Kinkaid an incompetent doctor.

That's what Markham
keeps calling him.

Why do you figure
he hates him so much?

Last year the Judge's daughter
was in an accident.

Her buggy overturned.
Kinkaid operated.

She died.

Well, that happens.

It shouldn't have,
even Doc admits that.

Thanks for the drink.

Beats me.

That's three pots in a row.
I wish I could be that lucky.

Did he ask you for a date?

- Who?
- That Mr. Tate.

No,
he just asked a few questions.

Oh? What about?

Dr. Kinkaid and the murder.

♪

Well, that's it, gentlemen.

- This is for you.
- Oh, thank you, Judge.

You're leaving
with all our money, Judge.

It's as it should be.

Real gentleman, the Judge.

Not when he's playing poker.

Oh.

♪

I won't hurt you, ma'am.

Ma'am?

I am sorry.

This is the weapon
that killed Gannon,

isn't it, his gun?

How dare you enter
my house like this?

Is this Gannon's gun?

No. It belongs to me.

Locked away in a drawer?

Is it that valuable?

I asked what you're doing
in my home.

The Sheriff told me
that you were the one that kept

people out of that room
the night Gannon was killed.

That's right,
so that none of the evidence

would be tampered with.

Did you go into that room,
Judge,

before the Sheriff got there?

I did not.

And not one witness
at the trial said that I did.

Maybe during the excitement,
no one took notice.

Just what are you trying to say?

Only that, uh...

if this was the murder weapon

and it did prove
to belong to Gannon,

that you could never sentence
Kinkaid to hang.

Why not?

If Kinkaid wasn't armed,
it was self-defense.

Provoked, maybe,
but self-defense.

Why would I oppose that?

Because of your daughter.

That is the reason, isn't it?

Your daughter died
because Kinkaid

made a mistake
on the operating table.

Mistake?

He murdered Sarah

as surely as if he'd put
a bullet in her brain.

It was a mistake.

And that woman was my wife

until the day we buried Sarah.

Then she became the mindless
creature you just saw.

Was that another mistake?

We were a family.
A happy family.

Now it's only a memory
and an agony.

Another mistake?

No.

Kinkaid will hang
for the murder of three people.

Justice, Mr. Tate.

Not when I tell them
about that gun.

Oh, no.

No, I can't let you do that.

♪

Come on, my dear.

Be your word against mine.

Just rest comfortably now.

Well, Doctor?

Done all I can.

Is he gonna be all right?

You'll know better
when he comes out of the ether.

My wife will know what to do.

Just make sure
she gets the $10,000.

She'll get it.

Let's go, Ben.

- Sheriff...
- Hold it.

That's the weapon
that killed Gannon.

And I'm betting
it belonged to him.

Where'd you get it?

Judge Markham's desk.

- You broke in?
- Yes.

And he told you
this was the murder weapon?

- No...
- What did he tell you?

He said it belonged to him,
but he's lying.

He took this gun out of the room
after Gannon was shot.

He took it so it couldn't
be used as evidence

in favor of Kinkaid.

Now you listen to me.

I've known John Markham
my whole life,

and never once in all that time

has he ever broken
or bent the law.

Now you want me to believe
that he's stolen evidence,

withheld it at the trial,
and lied under oath.

That's what I want you
to believe.

It's not about to happen.

Then you'll hang this man
for a crime he didn't commit.

Let's go, Ben.

Why doesn't he come around?

He will. Ben's a fine doctor.

Come on, sit down.

Thank you, ma'am.

Sure looks good.

I'm really hungry, too.

I guess it's all that walking
around I've been doing.

Thank you, ma'am.

Ma'am, uh,
could I ask you something?

Of course.

With your husband the only
doctor around for 30 miles,

he must've had
all the work he could handle.

Why would he have
to cheat at cards?

Well,
after what happened to Sarah,

John said terrible things
about Ben.

He warned, he threatened people

not to come
to him for treatment.

Judge Markham
is a powerful voice in Concho.

And they listen?

Yes, they went to Sam Logan
over in Pine Ridge.

We tried to get along,
but it was hopeless.

Ben wanted
to get enough together

so that we could move
to another town,

make a fresh start.

You worried about your boss?

Among others.

Buy you drink?

Why not?

What would you like?

Whiskey.

You must think a lot of him.

Well, he got hurt helping me.
I'm just trying to help him.

Would you like
to help me feed my cat?

Sure. Where'd he go?

Oh, he'll be back
around 8:00 in the morning.

No offense,
but my mind's not on it.

Well...

Does that help
your concentration?

Kiss Gannon like that?

If you did, you'd know whether
or not he was wearing a gun.

I don't do anything
for you, huh?

Sure, you do.
It's just like I said.

I don't know
if he was wearing a gun.

He'd have gotten around
to kissing after the game.

What about a holster?

Never wore one.

Said it spoiled
the set of his suit.

Funny duck.

A real silk-shirt type.

Wore 'em a couple of times,
then gave them away.

Same with his suits
and his shoes... and women.

Except me.

He wouldn't play more
than a couple of hands

before he'd want a new deck.

Does your cat
come back every morning?

Mm-hmm.

Thanks.

Wake up!

What did you want?

I want to buy a gun.

Now?

Now.

At 2:00 in the morning?

Oh, well, uh, yeah.

That does make a difference.

Go ahead.

Well, I guess Dr. Kinkaid's
gonna have a real smooth ride.

I want this to be neat
and quick, no mistakes.

Well, y-you can count
on me Sheriff.

And afterwards,
I want this gallows knocked down

and every stick of wood
burned to ashes.

Same for that rope.

So the folks
won't get any souvenirs.

Anybody tries, clap 'em in jail.

Will do, Sheriff.

Tad, Billy, come on,
get out of there!

Now, you kids listen to me,
I catch you playing

around here again,
I'm gonna tan both your hides,

and that goes for
any other kid in town.

Now you tell 'em. Get.

Wonder what a man thinks
the day of his hanging?

Bet his guts are in his throat.

Lonnie, sometimes I look at you,

I think one day you'll
know what it's like.

Sheriff!

Don't make jokes
like that no more, huh?

Hello.

Good morning, Colonel.

Mrs. Kinkaid, your nurse.

How do you feel?

Well, um...

I wouldn't want to spend
all day in the saddle,

but... not too bad.

Speaking of saddles, uh,
thanks for saving my neck.

Anytime, my boy.

Anytime.

I feel thirsty.

Could I have a drink?

I'm afraid you can't have
anything yet.

Oh. Water would do.

In a little while.

Ah, it's a lovely day, isn't it?

Come on.

He's gonna make it?

Told you Ben was a fine doctor.

Mr. Tate?

Are you going to the...

I'd consider it a favor
if you did.

I'm not.

I want to remember Ben
the way he was yesterday.

But if you're there
and he see you...

I think he'll understand.

Do you understand?

Yes, ma'am, I do.

I think he will, too.

Thank you.

I just want to say,
ma'am, you're a fine lady.

Just keep hoping.

I'll make some coffee.

Is it time?

You, uh... you got enough paper?

I can say it all on one page.

I'll see
that your missus gets it.

Morning, Judge.

Uh, what time does
your watch say, Clay?

It says, uh,
12:00 straight up, Judge.

Same as mine.

One thing you can say
for Sheriff Tolliver,

he's a punctual man.

♪

Benjamin Kinkaid,
do you have any last words?

Then as a district judge
of this county,

I order the sentence
to be carried out.

You may proceed.

Sheriff, I see you
still have the Judge's gun.

Yes.

Don't you think you should
give it back to them?

There's time enough for that.

So he came to you with that
ridiculous story, Sam.

Yes, he did.

I think the Judge
would like it back now.

Thank you.

You're sure that's
your weapon, Judge?

Yes. Now may we get on with it?

How long have you
owned that gun?

Sam, get him out of here.

Why? I just asked
a simple question.

It could mean a man's life.

How long have you had it, Judge?

Sheriff, we have more important
things to do at this moment

than to discuss guns.

I know that, Judge,
and I'm sorry to bother you,

but I still would like
to hear your answer.

Well, I see no reason
for this, but if you insist.

What was it you wanted to know?

How long
have you owned that gun?

About, uh, five years.

Five years. You're sure of that?

Of course I'm sure.

Now may we get on
with the business at hand?

Satisfied?

Sheriff, I bought a gun
exactly like that last night.

Take a look at 'em both.

May I?

Of course.

Both model 18s.

And, Sheriff, that model
came out less than a year ago.

Check the catalog
at the gunsmith's.

Don't take my word for it.
Look it up yourself.

That's easy enough to do.

Are you calling me a liar, Sam?

No, sir, but I think I ought
to get this straightened out.

And I order you to proceed
with this execution.

I'll proceed with this execution

when I'm certain
that it's lawful.

Deputy, drop him!

Lonnie, hold it!

- Lonnie!
- Judge, I-I can't.

The Sheriff's
gotta give the order.

Judge! Judge!

Judge, stop it! Judge, stop!

- Judge...
- No! No!

For 30 years,
I administered law and order

in this town as you asked me to!

Before I came here,
there was no law.

None of you were safe
on the streets!

I dealt out justice,
and I was firm, but I was fair!

You, Lynn Boland,
remember that fight

you had with Del Backer,
he broke your leg,

and you couldn't work
your stock for four months?

I sentenced him to work
as your wrangler without pay

till you could get
back on your feet.

And you, Billy Dawson.

Remember that drifter came by
your ranch and molested you?

Well, we caught him,
and I dealt out justice

with a bullwhip across his back
and 20 years at hard labor!

He'll never molest
another woman.

And you...

you, Seth Nagel,
I remember your boy, Judd.

Nine years old, shot down
and killed in a bank robbery,

an innocent child,
and your woman saw it happen.

We rode out after 'em, Seth.
We caught 'em.

We brought 'em back!

And we tried 'em,
and they swung!

And this man...

this man killed my daughter!

You know that.

You know what happened
to my poor wife because of it.

And the law,
the law couldn't touch him!

And I say no!

No!

No man is above the law!

Including you, Judge.

You just told us.

You didn't try him
for killing Gannon.

You tried him
for killing your daughter.

I've never been unjust.

Judge...

You never lost
a daughter before.

How many times have
you and I stood together

against a lynch mob
and you saying

they'd hang legal or not at all?

But that was different.
Wasn't it?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

One crime
never excuses the other.

You've sentence a lot of men
with those words.

I can't have it both ways,
can I?

I guess I hated you so much,
I couldn't see what I was doing.

When a man takes anything
that personal,

he loses his right
to sit in judgment.

I've lost my right, Sheriff.

You'll know where to find me.

Ten... thousand... dollars...

and no cents.

It's about $9,500 too much.

Well, you agreed to the price.

You want me to take it
out of your wages?

Why not? 60 bucks a month.

It'll only take 12 1/2 years.

Well, there we are.

Ah, it's good to be alive,
isn't it?

- Yes, thanks to Tate.
- Yeah.

No, but... but...

No, we owe you more than you us.

Well, I'm not so sure
about that.

Good luck to you both.

Colonel.

Thank you.
