Look Mr. Travers

Water is not something that you have the right to hoard.

It is there for everyone.

Nobody can decide who takes or not.

He is asking me to allow them to scratch some of my work.

Do you think that is correct?

Diverting the water, you know that.

What Beach Law.

If you do not have something to do here, I suggest you leave.

You would like this, right?

You would like us all to leave.

I have work to do.

I would appreciate it if you leave my property.

It's okay, Travers.

Well Travers, we've asked for your help, we've even begged you.

Now we are not going to be responsible,

nothing of what happens.

From the West.

Dick Powell Presents:

The Zane Gray Theater

Some of the most interesting novels of the west of Zane Gray,

They deal with man's struggle for water.

The first settlers had to dig wells

like this, by hand.

Sometimes quite deep.

And if it dried, they did not call the plumber. They only dug another one.

And if you want to know how they decided where to dig in the first place.

Well, this is one of the methods they used.

This is a "Water Factor".

The settler walked by his estates, holding him in this way.

until it pointed down.

That meant he had located the water.

That or his arms got tired.

In addition to the water supply.

The well had other uses.

It was the cooler of the west.

The perfect place to keep butter, milk fresh

And in case of emergency, it was

an uncomfortable, but safe haven against tornadoes.

How would you like a trip in the middle of the night,

to find a drink of water from one of his boys.

In our history: The Implacable Sky,

starring Lew Ayres, discusses the great importance of water.

They do not look good like that.

It's the fourth this week.,

It is not easy to kill in this way.

I was already half dead.

I had to shoot him to stop his suffering.

Better than I have found it in my own land.

Things are getting worse. Last night

A cougar

attacked one of Ms. Beach's calves.

50 feet from the house.

Animals desperate for thirst will kill only for blood.

Even a man.

Rio de la Paz, by Williams Vegans,

Mrs. Williams and the boy.

Moving.

We go to California.

They say there is green there.

All year.

I do not think so.

Are not you thinking of leaving?

My family and I.

We have come a long way.

Do not.

God willing,

we will stay.

We also stay.

I'm going to talk to Travers.

Bah, it's not good.

Mr. Beacher and I

We have already spoken to you more than three times.

And the answer is always the same.

He is the only one who can help us.

You know Clint, it's not good to seek help from a man

for water.

There's no other way.

Beacher and I will go with you.

Maybe he does not listen to all of us.

It's okay.

I almost forget it.

I came to bring the crib for your wife.

You hurry too much, there are still a couple of months left.

You know Mrs. Rosky.

She orders.

Well, we thank you very much.

To both.

It has been a pleasure.

I'm going to see if I can get Beacher.

I'm going to take the cradle to Peg.

I find you in the step.

Hey, you know we can not spend water on washing.

Clint, the clothes were dirty.

Oh a cot,

where did you get it.

Mrs. Rosky sent it. Alex brought her.

It was very kind of him,

You should not be doing hard jobs like this Peg.

Oh, it will not hurt me, Clint.

You should not be outside in this heat,

and less working.

The well dropped two feet since yesterday.

Clint?

You would not be very disappointed if...

the baby is a girl. True?.

I could stay with her.

Because you do not go in and rest a bit.

It's okay.

Today I felt the heat more.

I have some things to do.

You'll be fine.

Insurance.

Stop worrying about me

Hi, Beacher.

Hello Clint.

We are wasting time, Travers will not help us.

I have tried it before

That's what Alex told me.

I even offered to give him part of my cattle for water.

What happened?

He rejected it, he said that the more cattle you have, the more water you need.

This Travers is a very practical man.

Yes

Well, let's try it.

Good evening, Mr. Travers.

Good afternoon.

We can take a minute of your time.

Much work man has when he is alone.

What do you want?

We came to talk to him about the water.

I told the others and I will tell them to you.

I need all the water I have.

But it has water for at least two months.

Maybe even more.

I worked hard for this land.

I have to continue and my cattle also.

The drought has made everyone leave only you are three

they will also leave, like everyone else.

I will not risk losing my cattle just so you can stay a little longer.

We are here to stay, Mr. Travers.

We build our homes here, just like you.

All right.

Do not come to me for help.

Mr. Travers, it is not easy for us to come like this to you.

It's not for us, we ask.

Mr. Beacher has two little ones.

I... I have four.

Soon Clint's wife will give birth.

Try to understand.

We must have water.

I only take my part.

Your part.

All right.

The brook passes through there.

Cross my earth first.

After yours, Rosky.

And Howard and Beacher.

By right, I can do what I want with that water.

I could keep it all, if I wanted it.

I have already diverted a little for Ponds,

so that he is ready for his birth.

And if any of you has any livestock sense

I would have done the same.

Just because the stream crosses its land

It does not mean that all the water it carries is yours.

No more than a drop is what has come in the last month.

And now it has dried up.

He must have thought that in the rainy season.

Look Mr. Travers, rainwater is something that you do not have the right to monopolize

It belongs to everyone, no man can decide who has water or who does not.

Do not tell me what is right.

Are you asking me to allow you to scratch some of my work?

Do you think that is correct?

For fattening farmers, making their house is one thing,

But to man, to the family of man,

Is much more.

I do not know about that.

Mrs. Travers and I never asked anyone.

She is buried in this land.

But water that I have, I'll keep it.

Divert the water, and know it.

What Law Beach?

What law helped me to snatch this land from the Indians?

What law prevented thieves from robbing me in the middle of the night?

What law?

If you do not have something to do here, I suggest you leave.

Oh, that would like it, is not it?

He would like us all to leave.

That would prove that you are strong.

Strong enough to do what others could not.

I would even die if that were enough for you.

I have work to do.

I will thank you for leaving my property.

Well Travers, we've asked for your help, we've even begged you.

Now we are not going to be responsible for anything that happens.

Miserable! Water thief !.

Get him out of here.

The next time some of you enter my land.

I'll blow your head, go away!

It's wrong for the man to beg, Mr. Travers.

We will not be back.

You were so long out that I was worried.

You have been feeling good.

All right.

You are the one who worries me.

You look so tired.

I've been following rain clouds.

How boring.

And these are.

Coats for the baby.

Where did you get the material?

An old green dress of mine.

I never liked it very much.

That was the reason why you used it so much.

Clint.

I have everything a woman needs.

It has also been an abuse of you to bring yourself to this desert.

Maybe we should stay in Kansas.

I would not have wanted it in any other way.

It is the opportunity to do something ourselves.

Here is a new country, Clint.

It is exciting.

You had that same look in your eyes the first time I saw you.

What look ?.

The one we gave ourselves at Christmas.

Maybe I found you very exciting too.

Only two more months Peg.

You are not afraid.

I want our baby Clint.

Why should I be afraid?

I love you, Peg.

I swear on how much I love you.

Everything will be fine, you'll see.

We just need some rain, and our problems will end.

Better to be soon.

Today we saw Travers.

We ask for a little water.

He rejected us quickly.

How can a man do that ?.

I do not know.

All that water, and our gaining dying daily.

It's hard to have to shoot your own cattle.

Not for food or necessity,

kill them because they are so weak that they can no longer hold on.

Is to kill them or leave them, a waste.

And now Clint, Travers is wrong, terribly wrong.

Someday you will have to recognize it.

Meanwhile, that about us and the others.

man can do much with little, but not without water.

You do not understand Peg, that water is needed even for childbirth.

Solasky and Beacher.

Clint.

Peg.

Good afternoon gentlemen.

It's a surprise.

Do we interrupt your dinner?

Oh no...

Not at all.

We just finished it. Is not that right, Clint?

So is.

Do you want a cup of coffee?

No thanks, use too much water.

We will not be long.

We just want to talk something with Clint.

Oh, well, they can stay as long as they want,

I have some things to attend ..

Please bring my regards to Birdie, Mrs. Rosky.

Thanks for the crib.

You're welcome.

We do not know what to do, Clint

I've been crazy since we left Travers.

I was so bad before.

Deep down I thought that Travers would agree with us.

Well, maybe not at the beginning.

But when we got to real need.

I was sure of that.

It will not help us, you can be sure of that.

What do we do?.

We throw everything away, we leave our cattle to the cougars,

We're leaving, we're left to die here as Branch Williams.

Let's not give up yet,

We can take a little longer.

Not me.

Half of my cattle are lying down and sick.

I have to have water.

I have to get it now.

You're right, Clint

I'm sure he's right.

But what are we going to do?

all the water is in the land of Travers.

Maybe we can make cattle break their fences

and drive it as you like to the well ..

Let them drink.

Crazy.

You must know that they have to cross a field of corn,

Is that what you want.

The cattle looks at me when it dies.

There must be a way...

I know a way.

Kill him

Why does it have to be that way?

Why do we always have to kill?

Because it's the only thing we have left.

We did not choose it.

Travers did it.

You agree with him, Macky.

I do not like to kill.

But it is better to sacrifice a life...

that all.

There must be some other way,

There must be.

Which other?

We ask, we beg, we humble ourselves.

Now our cattle dies,

Then they will be our children.

Clint you know that only one man, I'm not trying to be God.

Just wait a little longer.

We can not wait.

We have as much time as water.

It has to be done... It has to be done tonight.

We know how you feel, we feel the same.

But we have our families to think about.

they also have the right to live.

What about Peg?

What chance do you think your son will have?

Well, better to start.

They do not have to know how it's going to happen.

It has been in my mind today, it will be easier for me.

No, we all agree.

If it has to be done, we will choose who does it.

How easy it is to say it.

I'm sorry, Clint.

Beacher.

The bullets are yours.

They're already gone.

I could not ask them about the children.

What are you doing?

I have to go somewhere.

At this time of night?

It will not be for long.

Where are you going?

Do not ask me, Peg.

Something is happening. What is it?

I have never lied to you. So do not ask me.

I've never seen you like that.

You're scared, Clint.

I've never seen you scared before.

I never killed a man before!

What are you saying?

I'm going to kill old Travers, Peg.

We talk about it, it's something we have to do.

No Clint. Do not.

A man does not have the right to see others die and do nothing about it.

You talk about rights and at the same time you talk about killing.

What's gotten into you, Clint?

Do you think I want to do it?

Then do not do it. I beg.

We will find the form.

There were lightning bolts tonight. I saw them.

Sure, last night and before last night.

They do not mean anything.

No Clint.

Do not ruin our life.

It is not in my hands now.

I have to go.

What about the baby?

How can I tell him that he killed a man for a drink of water?

That's why I'm doing it,

You do not get it. For you and the baby.

So you have a chance.

Do not you dare say that.

Do not say that this baby inside me cost you a murder.

I would rather see him be born dead.

In times like these, water is for the living, Travers.

What is he doing here?

I told him to stay out of my property.

I came to kill him.

Do not be silly, Howard.

Get out of here.

He did not want to listen to us.

We humble ourselves.

We would not hold out a hand.

You are weak, Howard.

The weak always complain.

He blames me for the fate of his cattle,

because man is not enough to take care of him.

And now try to blame me for

to be able to get the courage to use that revolver.

Forget the cattle.

I think of my wife and the lives of the other ranchers.

For the last time, Travers, will you share the water?

Do not.

What a man works for is his.

Not when it means death for others.

I'm not afraid of death.

A man must be willing to die for what he believes.

Sometimes man has to kill for what he believes.

Put down the revolver, Clint.

Peg.

I begged you not to do this.

I have to stop you in the only way I can.

There are things that a man has to do.

I'm not going to let you kill him, Clint.

You are my husband and I love you.

I'll shoot you before I allow you to kill.

Go home Peg, please. Go home.

It's a "denick", Clint

I'm sure Mr. Travers will help us all.

Only allow it.

Please, Mr. Travers, please say that you will help us.

Do not make me do this.

It will help us, right?

Please say that you will share the water.

Please.

It's too late.

He has no chance.

Please Clint.

Please... Clint Please

No... Clint... No...

Clint.

Oh... Clint.

It's okay, Peg It's all over now.

I think it's not in my killing a man.

I could still be prepared, be dead.

In some way we will achieve it.

Come, let's go home.

You should not have come so far Peg.

You could hurt yourself.

I'm fine.

I love you, Clint.
