Original subtitles

Get away from that horse.

I see you have new material.

I already warned him the last time.

You will not need that rifle, Mr. Jessop.

He heard it, Jessop. Throw it.

From the West.

Dick Powell Presents:

The elections have undergone many changes in America,

from the days of the early west.

As for that time they were short of pencils and paper.

They used several things like ballots:

feathers, beads...

In a section of Arizona,

They used bullets.

If it was loaded, they voted for a candidate,

and if it was empty by another.

If the guy was not careful his whole campaign could explode in his face.

The Navajo Indians, although they do not exist

records of having many free elections.

If they had an unusual way of voting in a trial.

They used a drum.

Two touch... the Bravo was guilty.

Three touches... it was not.

And so...

It must be the Chief counting the votes.

In the story that we have chosen for you this week,

we will see another voting method

Our star is Robert Ryan.

Robert Ryan in: "You only run once"

You are a man with a hasty way of doing things, Mr. Jessop.

You do not have the right to register the property of a man if his permission.

This search was authorized by the Vigilantes Committee.

This is an official matter, Jessop.

We look for stolen horses.

Your Committee does not have such authority, Hale.

It's not my Committee, I'm just a member,

like Mr. Kroll or Mr. Sayers, or you yourself could be.

I do not believe in taking the Law into your own hands.

That's why we chose a Marshall.

That he did nothing, just sit down and talk.

And the man who beat you in free choice, Sayers.

Because we have done more in a month than him in two years.

We will get rid of him.

Basically I agree with you Mr. Jessop.

When this district is completely clean,

then we will choose another Marshall.

Oh No .. They will not, they will not.

They will be like any pack of dogs that when they taste the blood,

they will not stop.

Jessop.

Where are your partners ?.

I have not had any partners and you know it.

Mr. Scott and Mr. Ramsey, you probably will not have decided to leave your ranch,

as suddenly as they arrived.

Whiclay, they are resting, riding at night is very tired.

Or perhaps they are selling the first material that is lost.

Get out of here.

Long!

Soon we will have news of El Paso.

I suspect that Scott and Ramsey are well known there.

Tell me, Jessop.

What is your part for allowing them to use your ranch

as headquarters for your robberies ?.

If this clown is not out of my land in two minutes,

this Committee may suffer a few vacancies.

All right.

Until we know about El Paso, then.

My memories to his wife,

lovely lady.

Jedd.

It's too small for knives.

I'm sorry, Martin. Your mother does not allow it.

I will take that.

Stay away from me.

You have no brain, what did I tell you? Enters.

You got us to leave.

Why?

You did not leave us an alternative. Because.

I'm sure he's going to tell Matt. -By letter.

Since I arrived I wanted to have a mess with him.

Do what I say. It's time to move as you want.

But you said we were going to steal that business before we left.

We will do it, on our route.

In the daylight.

Why not?.

I'll be in the corral.

Martha, I'm sorry about what happened.

Did not you get to where the Damons ?.

The Mccullers changed my plans.

How about the room?

Ramsey and I are leaving.

Very sudden

No more sudden than our arrival,

We are not going to leave our weapons.

Right, you can not do that, Jedd.

Oh, thank you, Matt.

But I think we'll all be better if I take Ramsey.

This morning Mccullar was with a Vigilantes Committee.

You were once out of the Law in El Paso.

Not as I see it, we will all be better if we leave.

I'll see you before leaving.

I did not wait for you until after dark.

Something wrong now?

Have you been crying?.

Only dislikes with children.

Look at your hand

Hale and his Warden Committee were checking our horses again.

You have not hit Frank Hale ?.

No, I did not have that pleasure.

If they were checking our horses, they should think that you...

What do you think?.

I do not know what to think.

I know people do not like Scott and Ramsey.

Since those two arrived here, nothing good has happened.

That guy saved my life in El Paso.

I do not forget that, but I know what the neighbors are saying.

You must not listen to them.

Should I close my eyes too?

When Scott and Ramsey arrived here we only got the right thing.

Now it seems that there is a lot of money.

And you almost doubled the pack.

I told you that that group came from Santa Fe.

Only two days after I've lost 50 heads.

And Scott and Ramsey were out all night.

Matt, I think I like to talk like this.

But since those two arrived here,

You have been different.

It has been different between us.

Well darling, they're leaving. Jedd just told me.

Did he say why?

Do not.

Maybe you can tell me.

They told me they are going ..

He listened well.

Eh... Wait a minute.

What happened to his face?

I'm curious.

What happened to his face?

Just keep your nose out of my affairs.

I told him that that mare was not good.

Go to saddle her.

Good thank you.

Goodbye, -Good bye, Jedd.

Jedd.

Wait a minute, I'll go with you.

All right.

Why?.

I want to be close so that everything goes well.

You will not make such a long ride so late in the day, will you?

Accompanied a part.

I do not mind riding in the night.

Matt... Please. Do not.

I think it's the best, I have not finished talking to Jedd and Ramsey.

Mama... Mama, I hit my knee, there...

If you look at it you can see it as clear as day.

In all cases of theft, the prints end there.

And the closest place is Matt Jessop.

Hello Kernay, how are you?

The mail has just arrived,

And this was marked urgent.

Thank you, do not you want to sit down?

No, the store is not serviced alone.

Well Lou, did you leave the ranch?

Do not.

It seems that lately you spend a lot of your time sitting around here.

Lou fulfills its civic responsibility.

Like almost everyone in... Oasis.

True spirit of public service.

You have no right to make such suggestions to this Committee.

We work to protect people like you

Lou, how much it calms me to listen to you.

He is an insolent fool.

He and Jessop, two at the same time.

I have a letter from a friend in the Capital of the territory.

That path is the one you must follow, Frank.

That's where you'll be someday.

Men like you, with your education getting things done.

You would be a good governor.

That is very flattering,

and looking back, nothing further from my thoughts.

In fact if I thought someone saw my work in this Committee,

as the support stone for personal ambitions.

unfortunately I would retire.

Well, you're so bright, you'd be a great governor.

Well, this tells me everything I need to know about Jessop.

Maybe Matt did not notice.

Yes, that is true of course, and we must be fair.

But it is not irrational to assume that he knew what was happening.

on his own...

Hi Dan, nice to see you.

We were about to choose the Committee.

What happens?.

Dan's son, Jimmy. he has been injured

Sit down, Dan.

As a step?

Horse thieves.

They came to steal in our pack.

He was shot.

And they escaped.

I heard the shots.

I found him dying.

He named the killers.

He mentioned Ramsey's name.

He said something else.

But I could not understand it.

Other names maybe.

I think.

I felt pain, a horrible pain.

It seems we've waited too long.

What time did it happen?.

As at 02:00.

A boy of 16 years.

Luke, notify all the members of the Committee,

We will meet at Dan's house.

Craw picks up two men and goes to Jessop's ranch.

Maybe they retraced their steps ..

If not, see you at Dan's house.

And if Jessop is there.

Bring him too.

Arrest Matt Jessop.

But....

Dan, I'm sorry to say that the Committee has indications

that Jessop is as involved as the other two.

Do not tolerate any resistance.

I sure want it.

Let's move on.

Come on Dan, let's go home.

Mom why do not you make me an apple pie.

No, of cranberry.

Apple -Arrian.

Check the barn and the pen.

Where is Matt ?.

Not here.

Please, what's wrong?

Matt went out with Scott and Ramsey, did not he?

Why?. Why are you looking for it?

Dan Morris's boy was shot and killed this afternoon.

Do not.

Oh... Jimmy.

He mentioned names before he died.

Not Matt. Matt could not be with them.

He went to supervise Farst Riddick.

If Jimmy mentioned Matt, he was wrong.

Nobody thinks I was wrong, Mrs. Jessop.

I waited. You can not....

Not here.

Not down here either.

Matt.

No Matt

Matt.

Yes.

Where were you?.

A long ride for nothing.

the horses were on two sides.

Riding back does not take that long.

Penny threw a horseshoe.

Look at your face What happened?

The view must be tremendous.

I'll tell you a little later. I'm hungry

Matt, are you alone?

I'm sure I'm alone Why what happened?.

Cole and two other men came here.

I thought he had solved that.

They were looking for Scott, Ramsey, and you.

Why?.

Jimmy mentioned the man who shot him before he died.

Jimmy Morris

You mean someone shot Dan's boy,

Matt you should not go with them.

Jimmy mentioned me?

That's what Cole says.

They are looking for everyone. Surely they will return.,

Matt, you can not stay here.

Wait a minute.

You will not believe that I was with them.

But you left with them, you were out all night.

In any case, it does not matter what I think.

But if it matters to me.

So it seems, you think the same as the others.

Matt told you yesterday, I do not want to doubt you even for a second,

You should not go back here.

Martha,... open that door.

Martha

I was hoping I would not find you here.

Where else could it be?

Kernay, I did not expect that kind of speech from you.

I'm sorry, there's no time for proper ways.

The Committee has worked all night.

They took Scott and Ramsey about an hour ago.

They had 5 of Murray's horses with them.

They are lifting the gallows, the execution will be perhaps in half an hour.

Are not they going to come here?

Immediately.

Matt is accused of robbery and murder.

The same as the other two.

Matt, I've been trying to tell you.

Kernay, do you think I'm a horse thief?

That I have something to do with shooting Dan's boy.

Well... me.

You believe it, ehh.

You in the same as the others.

It's not what I want to believe, but Ramsey said you were.

Ramsey said that.

And he swore it.

He would not, even he would not.

Oh yes, sure yes.

But Jedd, Jedd Scott, can say that I had nothing to do with it.

Scott can not say anything, they killed him in the fight.

Martha, why did not you tell me yesterday what Ramsey tried with you?

You fought with him.

And I hit her hard, and now she wants to charge her.

And Scott is not here to confirm my plea.

Matt...

Forgive me.

Nothing to forgive.

I can see that he gave many reasons to doubt.

But Matt, time is running out.

they want to hang you

You have to go.

Go... Go where.

Anywhere, go to El Paso, to the border.

The children and I will follow you.

Your horses are going to be tired, you'll have half an hour's advantage.

Matt you have to run away.

Karney, I think I have something to do with this.

No, of course not Matt.

But that is not the point.

What difference can there be? Every minute counts.

Matt, do you hear me?

Yes, I listen, I listen.

Flees... Flees...

Run away if you are guilty, run away if you are innocent.

Run away, just run away.

Just this time.

That's. Just this time.

I'm starting to run away now, and I'll never stop doing it.

The man only flees once.

Karney stay here with Martha and the children.

What are you trying to do?

I'm going to meet you.

Find them ?.

For what?

That will not prove anything to anyone. You will only waste a life.

Once they start hanging they do not stop easily.

Many of those men are my friends.

But they have already gone far enough not to hang you.

I could save my neck by running away, but it seems I've lost almost everything.

What can be worth more for a man than his wife and children?

Karney, stay with Martha and the boys, maybe you can make her see what I want to say.

Lower it

Dan Murray, less than 24 hours after your boy's death,

two of his assassins have been executed.

We're going to make this territory, our kind of place,

for our kind of people.

Now to catch Matt Jessop.

It will not be necessary.

I'm not armed.

Matt Jessop is arrested.

Under what charges.

Theft of horses and murder.

I think I'll need a good lawyer.

Keep your hands

There will be no lawyer.

No trial.

You are guilty, Matt Jessop and we all know it.

All of you?

You are a privileged man, Mr. Hale.

Police... judge... sworn... executioner.

A kind of one-person government.

Does not the accused have any rights?

You will have the same right that you and your friends gave him Jimmy Morris.

I'm sorry about your boy, Dan.

Come on, let's find the rope.

We're wasting time.

What I have to say will be fast.

I'm innocent.

Unless they want to hang a man

wrong with a friend.

That friend said you were with them all the time.

Ramsey was no friend of mine.

He lied to get revenge.

Will they hang me by the word of a confessed murderer?

Dan, did your son mention me?

We all know how he fought this Committee.

Now it is explained why.

This if it is. Yes now.

They have to hang me because I opposed FranK Hale and his Committee.

Because I said again and again,

simple and clear.

that this was a twisted way of using the Law.

Upload it to the horse.

Do you really want to hang me without a trial?

Is it just that Hale surely wants me dead?

And all of you are afraid to talk.

They prefer me to tell them what they have to think.

Close your lying mouth.

Sinclair, get away from Harold or shoot Hale.

I'm with you, Matt. You were right not to escape.

Martha and the boys.

Safe at home.

On behalf of this Committee I order you to lower that weapon.

Stop interfering in what does not concern you.

That's where he's wrong, Hale.

And it was also where I made the mistake of thinking that I could close my eyes.

because what you did did not affect me.

What you have done here Hale is u...

Do not Hale.

Thanks, Karney.

Now I guess they're going to hang me.

because I'm as guilty as Matt.

Guilty of trying to stop this wormy Committee.

Put the rope around your neck.

Where is mine? Maybe they run out of ropes.

As I am denied a lawyer and a jury trial,

I want to be sure that it is the whole Committee that hangs up on me,

and not only you

Is not that obvious?

We all agreed that you were just as guilty as Scott and Ramsey.

If that is true.

You lose nothing by submitting it to a vote.

All right.

There is some man here who refuses to hang this man

for horse theft and murder.

As I said, unanimous.

It must be a secret ticket.

We've had enough...

A secret ballot ensures that men express themselves

No fear of joining Matt with the knot.

Kernay is correct.

I ask that we vote in secret.

Allison, maybe you have time but we are busy.

The life of a man is at stake.

I can spend another minute.

I'm with Bill, let's make it a secret vote.

All right.

How do we vote?

We will put rods in a hat, short to hang it, not long.

I ask Dan Murray to count the votes.

Four Short, Four Long.

You did not vote, Don.

Do not.

Long vote .. Let him go.

This is shameful, this Committee has lost the vision of its clear duty.

Jessop must die, since we do not have open alternatives.

I order you to carry out this execution,

or accept my resignation from this Committee.

Hale you lost

What is it waiting for?

Come on.

Please, give me your hand.
