All language subtitles for Gun the Man Down 1956.ENG

There it is. $40,000 just
sitting there waiting for us.

All we have to do
is ride in and get it.

Now, this is the
main teller's cage.

He's got a sawed-off
shotgun under the counter.

Farley, you'll see he
never gets his hands on it.

Rem, you keep one eye on the
Sheriff's office across the street,

And the other on the bank guard.

Here, once we're inside,
I'll move straight to the vault.

Farley, you cover me.

Shouldn't take more
than five minutes,

If everything goes right.

What if it doesn't?

Then it's every man for himself

And we'll get back here to
the cabin the best way we can.

Let's get moving.

Rem, are you sure you want
to go through with it?

Too late to back out now.

What if something goes wrong?

Nothing is going to
go wrong, Jan.

We get our hands on that money,
everything's going to be all right.

Oh, Rem.

Come on, Rem.

You be ready to leave
as soon as I get back.

Be careful, Rem.

Get those saddlebags
and canteens under the horses.

Right.

What happened?

What does it look like?

He's lost a lot of blood.
We'll have to...

There isn't time.

We've got to take time.

I killed a man at the bank.

I couldn't help it.
The fool went for his gun.

The whole town came alive.

There was a lot of shooting.

He can't be moved.

That we know.

Then we'll have to stay.

Don't be crazy. There'll be a posse riding
down on this cabin in a few minutes.

You're not going to leave him.

Well, we can't take him with us.
If we do, he'll slow us down.

We'll all be caught.
What'll that prove?

He wouldn't leave you.

Maybe not, but we got our
hands on a lot of money,

And I'm not going to spend
it at the end of a rope.

I won't leave him.

Then stay. Stay and watch them drag him
out to the nearest tree and hang him.

No, Matt. I won't
leave him!

You're going with us.

I've always admired this horse.

Besides, Remmy ain't
going to need it.

I'm not going to leave him.

Yeah, that little affair's over.

Now it's my turn.
Oh, you...

Hold it, Farley.

Two of us might get together
to spend this money,

But now's no time to decide it.

Let's go.

Still warm.
Let's go in.

I heard someone in the bank say those
three got away with over $40,000.

Poor old Bill.
They shot him right through the middle.

Well, you wouldn't catch me
going for my gun the way he did.

They could have the money.

Slim says he thinks he hit one
of them as they rode out of town.

One of them has
got a hole in him.

That'll slow 'em down.
Come on.

They'll be traveling slow.
One of them is wounded.

Come on.

Sheriff.

Tell us, where are they?

It's no good, Sheriff.

You and Charlie get
him in to Doc Turner.

The rest of you, come with me.

Any luck, Sheriff?

They headed south of the Pedro.

We lost them in the dark.

He's one of them, all right.

Well, what do you have to
say for yourself, mister?

There's not much I can say.

You plain-face admitting you rode
with them that held up the bank?

Would it do me
any good to deny it?

What about the others?

What about them?

They rode off and left
you, didn't they?

Did they?

Man did me that way,
I'd get even if I could.

I plan to.

What names they go by?

Who?

Now, you look
here at me, mister.

Only thing keeping you
from a hang rope,

Is that bank teller
being too ornery to die.

But that don't mean
we can't turn that key

And keep you jailed
up here till hell freezes.

Look, young man, those others,
they got off with $40,000.

So having you
means very little to us.

The important thing
is the money.

Meaning?

Meaning that folks about here had
almost all they owned in that bank.

Just natural they'd
take kindly to you

If you was to tell us who the
others were and where to find them.

I can't do that.

You mean you won't?

I mean I can't.

I don't even know
where they are.

You asking me to believe that
you outlawed with those gents?

I'm not asking you
to believe anything.

But you could give the
Sheriff here their names.

Their description.

If I did that,
he might catch up to them

Before I did.

Well, mister,
you ain't leaving us much choice.

Facing a robbery charge
alone, gonna go hard on you.

Not as hard as it's
gonna go on them.

I see him.

Hello, Rem.

Hello, Billy.

Ain't seen you
around much lately.

I ain't been around.

That could be a reason.

Coffee?

Yeah.

Lot of lonely country out here.

Peaceful, though.

Makes a man quiet inside.

You still killing, Billy?

I'm alive.

Are you?

Much as you.

I dug a grave for a man back in
Palace City a year or so ago.

Folks there were saying
words about a holdup,

And how the others
rode away rich,

Left you in jail.

That a fact?

Something like that.

You found him yet?

Who?

Matt Rankin.

You make good coffee, Billy.

You know, that's the trouble
with this territory.

It's too big.

Man goes looking
to find somebody,

It can take him near forever.

Yeah.

Thanks for the coffee.

Rem, you tried Gunther Wells?

Sun ain't half high,
already we got us a scorcher.

Yeah.

It's just too blamed hot
in this country.

Getting hotter all the time.

Sure seems that way, don't it?

One of these days, so help me,
Lee, I'm going to ride north.

Up toward Montana and that way.

They say a man
can freeze out there.

That sure would be nice.

Yeah.

Well, leastways the heat
keeps the peace.

Too blamed hot for people
to go breaking laws.

See you at the office, Lee.

Sheriff?

Look.

Know him?

Never saw him before.

Morning.

Morning.

Town seems deserted.

Everybody's in the shade.

That sun pours down on a man.

Yeah, I hadn't noticed.

I'm Sheriff Morton.
This is my deputy, Lee.

Howdy.

Howdy.

You got a name?

Anderson.

Remington Anderson.

Heard of you.

Where's your hotel?

Down the street on the
right, just past the saloon.

Well, be seeing you.

That's more than likely.

Yeah. It's gettin'
hotter all the time.

Thought I told you to knock.

Rem's in town.

What?
I said, Rem's in town.

Then you're crazy.

I tell you, I saw him.

What are we going to do?

That's up to Rem.

Well, we can't just sit here.

You got any better ideas?

Maybe.

Maybe if you went to him.

Sure. Sure,
I'll go to him.

Walk up, slap him on the
back, and say, "Remember me?

"I'm the one who left you behind.
The one you went to jail for."

What about the girl?

What about the girl?

Well, leaving Rem behind,
that was bad enough,

But when he finds out that
Jan and you have been...

Been what, Farley?

Look, he has a
fair quarrel with me.

But I'm not about to get myself
dead for somebody else's woman.

I'm pulling out.

You ought to do the same.

I wonder how far he'll get.

What was that all about?

Rem's in town.

You haven't forgotten
him, have you?

I tried.

You're a witness to that.

Yeah, I guess I am.

Not now, Matt.

Jan.

If you've got any ideas about
going back to him, forget them.

There's probably only one person
in the world he hates more than me.

You.

Hello, Farley.

Look, Rem...
Shut up.

Where's Rankin?

Where's Rankin?

In the saloon.

Jan...

Jan's with him.

All right, you get back
there, and you tell him

They're not going to have a
chance to run out on me this time.

Sure.

Sure. I'll tell him.

What was that all about?

He was riding my horse.

Just a minute, young fellow.

This town may not look like much to
you, but we got laws and I enforce them.

You going to arrest me, Sheriff?

I figured on it.

What for?

I seen that Farley fellow riding
this horse for near a year.

Well, I got a bill of
sale on this animal.

Description, markings, brand.

He's even got my initials
on his saddle.

You saying Farley
stole your horse?

I'm saying he was riding him.

Meaning you don't intend to
charge him with horse taking?

That's right.

You need me,
I'll be at the hotel.

What do you
make of him, Sheriff?

I ain't at all sure.

Well, I guess we better
go over to the saloon

And find out if that Farley's got
a bill of sale for that animal.

No need.
No need?

No.

Maybe that Anderson
fellow was lying.

Maybe.

Still wouldn't do
no harm to check.

Look, I figure if
Farley had a bill,

He would have come storming into my
office, demanding I do something about it.

Anderson beat him clear of it.

Say, that's right.

Never thought of that.

It's sure a mighty funny way to let
a fellow know he's riding your horse.

Tell you what, Lee,

You keep an eye on the saloon and
that young fellow in the hotel.

I'll be in the office.

Let me know if you see
anything out of the ordinary.

Sure thing, Sheriff.

It's sure going to
be a scorcher.

Are you sure that's all he said?

Well, ain't that enough?

You ask me, come dark,
we ought to pull out of here.

A day will put us in...
No.

But why can't...
Shut up.

Yeah?

He still hasn't come
out of the hotel.

He will.

Look, Rankin, I don't know about
you, but I want to get...

Jake.
Yes, sir?

Can you find Billy Deal?

Guess so.

Why don't you just shoot him in
the back and get it over with?

What am I supposed
to do? Run?

You did, once.

Well, Mr. Rankin?

Find him.

Sheriff?

That woman, that Miss Janice,
from the saloon,

She just went in the hotel.

She did, eh?

Well, you told me to let you know if
anything out of the ordinary happened.

That's right, I did.
Thanks, Lee.

Say, you don't suppose she knows
that Anderson fellow, do you?

She probably does.

Well, maybe I'd better get
back and keep my eyes open.

That's a good idea.

I'll be out in front of the
hotel if you need me, Sheriff.

Right.

I had to see you, Rem.

Get out.

Rem, I can explain.

Explain?

You mean, there's a reason to run off
and leave a half-dead man to a posse?

There's a reason for that?

I didn't want to leave you.

But you did, didn't you?

Why?

I...

I've asked myself that
a thousand times.

Couldn't have been
the money, could it?

You can't believe that.

Can't I?

I should have left you
where I found you.

In a saloon?
Is that what you mean?

Now, look...
No.

No, you look.

I'm every dirty thing
you think I am.

Only worse.

All right, so I ran out on you.

You think you're the first man
I played for a sucker?

I've rolled drunks in every
cheap saloon in this territory.

I've cheated and lied my way,
ever since I can remember.

And there's not one sin I
haven't done at least once.

But I loved you.

You're the only clean thing
that ever happened to me.

You wanted to settle down.

Live respectable.

You wanted to own
your own ranch.

Then you had to ruin it by throwing
in with Rankin and his kind.

You wanted to own
your own ranch, all right.

But you wanted to steal
the money to buy it.

You're no better
than the rest of us.

I'm sorry I came up here.

Why did you come, then?

Why?

Because Rankin
sent for Billy Deal.

He's going to blow
your head off, Rem.

And you don't have
to believe that, either.

Sheriff?

Slow down, Lee.

Billy Deal's in town.

Billy?

Just rode in, big as life.

Bigger.

Wonder what brings him to town?

He tied up and
went into the saloon.

You suppose that
Farley sent for him

'Cause he's sore about that Anderson
fellow doing him like he did?

Well, it's a thought.

Farley's the kind of man who
wouldn't fight his own fight.

Yeah, Farley's also the kind of
man who wouldn't have enough money

To hire Billy to gun a man.

How old is that
boy of yours, Lee?

Huh?

Oh, uh, he's six.

Say, you don't
think Billy might be...

Six, huh?

Nice to be six.

Six? Well, yeah,
I guess so. Six.

Nice day today.

Why don't you take him fishing?

Fishing?

Yeah.

There's a great big bass that
just sort of lazes around

Under that bridge
at Higgins Crossing.

It's about the biggest bass
I ever seen in these parts.

Oh, now, Sheriff, look...

You be back before it's dark.

Every doggone time there's trouble,
I always have to take the kid fishing.

Son,

This town's going to be here
a long time after I'm gone.

You can take care of it then.

You understand?

Yeah. I guess so.

You be back before it's dark.

Good luck.

You know I hate fish.

Hello, Billy.

Rankin?

You want to see me?

You heard of Rem Anderson?

Yeah?

He's in town.

So?

He's here to kill me.

So?

There's $5,000.

Well?

It's a lot of money.

I like living.

Where is he?

He's staying at the hotel.

One thing, Rankin.

Rem.

You better see
he's buried real good.

He's a friend of mine.

Hiya, Billy.

Rem Anderson.

In the hotel, is he?

He was. He ain't now.

Went out.

Where to?

Didn't say. Just went.

You sure?

Yes, Billy.

Much obliged.

Thank you.

Hello, Billy.

Been looking to find you, Rem.

You found me.

Yeah.

Unbuckle your gun belt, Billy.
Throw it down.

Now, I can't do that, Rem.

I've been paid to kill you.

I heard.

Five thousand.

That's a lot of dollars.

Drop your belt.

You don't stand a chance
against me, Rem.

You know that.

Unless, of course,
you already got a gun on me.

What makes you think I don't?

Oh, I know about gents like you.

Always give a man a full chance.

Even a man like me.

Don't do it.

That your money?

Should it be?

Well, I guess I'll have
to check the bank,

See if there have been any
big withdrawals lately.

Billy made a mistake.

He drew, but he
wasn't fast enough.

Well, since you say this isn't
yours, and Billy had no relatives,

We'll try to use it to make sure

We don't raise any more
Billy Deals in this town.

I don't like you,
Rankin. I never have.

I don't like what you
and this saloon stand for.

You going somewhere?

Yeah. Somewhere.

You went to see Rem, didn't you?

Didn't you?

Did you think for one
minute that I wouldn't?

No, I guess not.

Did you tell him about us?

No.

And he still wouldn't have you?

Do you blame him?

Yes, I blame him.
He knew all along what you were.

What am I, Matt?
Just what am I?

A woman.

A full woman that's had to make
her way the best she could,

Right from the ground up.

And doing it got
a little dirt on her.

You're not all Sunday school and
lace, but that's not your fault.

Isn't it?
Look, Jan...

It's no good, Matt.

I can lie inside
about a lot of things.

Even leaving Rem like we did.

But us, I can't even
explain it to myself.

How can I explain it to him?

So you're going to run.

As far as I can.

Then you go right ahead.

I never forced you
to stay here with me.

I never will.

But let me tell you this, Jan.

If you walk through this door,

You'll have to walk right back
through another just like it.

If it isn't this saloon,
it'll be another one.

And if it isn't me,
it'll be another just like me.

You may get away living with
the high-minded for a while,

But you'll be back.

Think about that, Jan.

Think about it real good.

Mr. Anderson?

Coffee?

Yeah, I don't mind.

Thanks.

I, uh, sure am sorry about this,
us having to lock you up and all.

Here you go, doing
Billy Deal like you did,

And us treating you
like a common outlaw.

Truth is, we've been trying to get rid
of Billy Deal ever since I can remember.

Same goes for Rankin
and his crowd.

I ain't at all narrow
thinking, Mr. Anderson,

But some of the things that
goes on up in that saloon

Make a man blush all over.

You wouldn't believe this,

But there was a time when Gunther Wells
was as peaceful and quiet as Sunday,

Every day in the week.

Then this Rankin comes along.

Next thing you know,
folks start drinking,

Playing cards, fighting,

Cahootin' all over
the doggone place.

Saturday nights,

He used to send a whole wagonload
of them gals from Indian Springs.

It was worth a man's life to
walk by them swinging doors.

I been after the sheriff
to close the place up.

He claims there's no law that says
a man can't run a drinking hall.

Maybe he's right.

Where is the sheriff now?

Seeing to it that
Billy's put under proper.

Reverend Black will probably
read words over him.

Few holies ain't going to help
Billy too awful much, though.

More coffee?

No, thanks.

Lee.

Huh?

Oh.

Leave it open, Lee.

I thought that preacher would
never get through talking.

Anderson?

Yeah?

You drew in self-defense.
I can't hold you.

Thanks.

There are things that sure
keep bothering me, though.

That so?

You ride into town,
and you find a missing horse.

Then all of a sudden,
Billy Deal comes along and draws on you.

Why?

I wouldn't know.

Wouldn't you?

Can I go now?

Door's open.

Young fellow.

Yeah?

Keeping the law in this
town is my business.

I intend to do it,
no matter what.

Meaning?

Meaning that gunning a man like Billy
Deal in self-defense is one thing.

Plain killing is
altogether something else.

I'll remember that.

You'd better had.

I'd hate to have to hang you.

I brought the horses.
They're out back.

Good.

Where's Jan?

I don't know.

You don't know?

That's what I said.

You mean, she's not
going with us?

That's what I mean.

I thought you two
were straightened out.

Yeah, so did I.

I'm going with you.

You don't have to run.
He won't hurt you.

I don't think anyone
could ever hurt me again.

Coffee?

You thinking about Rem?

Leave me alone.

We get to Sonora,
I'll make you forget all about him again.

May take time and money, but...

I said, leave me alone.

It's no use getting upset.

You could have stayed behind, and Rem,
he might have even taken you back.

Would he?

What difference would it make?

You weren't cut out to be a ranch woman.
It ain't a fit life.

This is, I suppose?

It's all in how you look at it.

Take Farley, there.

He hadn't met me,
he'd probably gone through life

Honest, upstanding and poor.

By this time,
he'd have more than likely

Worked himself to death
for somebody else.

And they'd have to take up
a collection to bury him.

Same goes for Rem, too.

But you and me,
we like nice times.

Like back there,
we had everything.

Money, clothes, each other.

There was a while back there,
I thought you'd forgotten

All those crazy ideas about
settling down respectable.

Yeah.

So did I.

That's what I like about us, Jan.
We want something, we take it.

Listen.

Rem, look out!

I got him, Farley!

Rem.

Rem.

Hold me.

Rankin do this to you?

Rem,

Whatever you think of me,

You were the one.

Only one.

We would have been
respectable, wouldn't we, Rem?

Sure.

Sure, you bet we would.

Rem.

Sheriff!

Sheriff! Sheriff.

What are you doing
up this early?

They've gone,
Rankin and the others.

Pulled out during the night.

What about Anderson?
He's gone, too.

Jake the bartender says he thinks
they headed for Sonora town.

They'll never get there.

They got a good
head start on us.

When that sun goes high,
it'll sure slow 'em down.

Come on.

Hey, Sheriff.
Yeah, I know.

They swung south here.
Now I know where they're headed.

They cut off here.

It looks like.

Well, guess we better
find us some shade.

Shade?

I'd uncinch my animal if I was you.
Give him a breather.

Sheriff.

Ain't we going after them?

There's no hurry.

Beats me.

Fellow tries to do a good job.

Got you traipsing all over
the doggone countryside.

They're all up there in that
canyon, and you can't get them out.

Next thing he'll wanna do is
want me to go fishing with him.

Sit down, Lee.
Get out of the sun.

Sheriff, why...
Lee.

That bass at Higgins Crossing.

Didn't catch him, did you?

My boy doesn't like fish either.

Come tomorrow,
what say we both take a crack at him?

Look, Sheriff,

Us just sitting here,
ain't they getting away?

Nope.

You know,
I hunted all through this country.

Know the ground.

Look, that there's a box
canyon they rode into.

It's about a mile deep and wide.

It's got walls so steep,
a bird has all he can do to get out of it.

Meaning they'll have to come
out the same way they went in.

One of them will.

Get up.

Wait a minute, Rem.

Get up.

Sheriff?

Yeah, Lee?

You didn't mean it when you said

You were going to do that
Anderson fellow that way, did you?

Didn't I?

Don't seem at all right to me.
Nice fellow like that.

Probably he had
a reason for all this.

Probably.

But there ain't no reason
for killing, Lee.

Well, I don't guess there is.

I'd sure hate to
have to hang that boy.

He dead?

Partly.

What am I supposed
to do with him?

That's up to you, Sheriff.

He killed my woman.

And you brought him in.

Why?

I kind of figured you meant what
you said about plain killing.

You did right, Rem.

Finally.

Take good care of him.

I will.

He's going to be all right.

He'll make a good citizen.

Wish he was in our town.

Yeah.

Yeah, so do I.
