All language subtitles for 34. Three Sons.eng

This gun is the only
thing you two understand.

Vicious scum like you
who sent a mutilated cat

To a young girl
as a wedding present.

I'm very sorry, sir. I don't
know how the mix-up occurred,

But the suite simply won't
be vacant until tomorrow.

All right. Give us
any old room for tonight.

I can't do that. The hotel's entirely
filled up. There isn't one vacancy.

May I be of
some assistance?

I guess not.

Not unless you talk him
into giving us a room.

I'm sorry,
but as I've told you,

The bridal suite won't
be vacant until tomorrow.

Just married?

Yeah. Fine way
to start out a honeymoon.

I guess we'll just have
to find someplace else.

I think you'll have
a lot of difficulty.

There's a cattlemen's
convention in san francisco

And most places are filled.

We've only got
three days here.

Why don't you take
my suite tonight.

but where would you sleep?

If all goes well, I won't.

Some gentlemen I know are
planning an all-night card game.

We'd be much obliged, but how
come you'd do this for us?

Because it gives me pleasure.

Give them
the extra key to my suite.

Yes, sir. Right away.

I'd like to pay
you for this.

No, thanks.
I'll tell you what:

You can have breakfast
ready for me in the morning.

I'll see you then.

Nine o'clock
fine.

Right up the stairs
to your right.

We'll send your luggage up.

Good morning.
Good morning.

This came in the mail for bosworth.
I suspect it's a wedding present.

Thank you.

The clerk said
your name is paladin.

I'm henry bosworth and
this is janie martin.

I mean, janie bosworth.

You'll get used
to that new name.

Your breakfast is ready.
Thank you.

My kitten.
My poor kitten.

Don't cry, honey.

"don't come back
or this might happen to you."

Who would do this?

My brothers. Half-brothers.
They're vicious.

Why would they
do a thing like this?

About a month ago, I helped
dad throw them off the ranch.

They said they'd get
even with both of us.

Would they harm your father?

I never thought so.

This makes me
think differently.

I'm starting back now.
Wait a minute...

This gift has
upset your wife.

I'll go to your father.
You stay here

And follow when
janie feels better.

Why do you want
to get mixed up in this?

It's my profession.

Anybody here?

Got it.

Would you mind tossing
that thing up here, stranger?

A little off-center.

Set another one up on the
railing over there, will you?

They're in that gunnysack.

You want something?

Just to meet you.

Social call, eh?

There's a jug in back
of the chair here.

Help yourself.

Dud. That's the trouble
with homemade shells.

You gonna hold that jug
or make use of it?

Whoooo-wee.

It's nice of you
to drop in. Who are you?

My name is paladin.

Your son suggested
I come and see you.

Which son?
Hank.

I met him
in san francisco.

He seemed to think
you might

Be having trouble
with the older boys.

Yeah, that's possible.

They ain't much good.

Their mother was
a violent woman.

She liked to wring
chicken's necks.

Do you think
there's any possibility

Those boys might
try to harm you?

They said they would.

Blow my rotten carcass
full of holes.

Or perhaps I should
go and see them.

Have a talk with them and
convince them they shouldn't try.

Yes, I'd be obliged.

I don't believe
I could shoot one of 'em

Even if they did
come around here.

Sentimental, I guess.

Where can I find them?

They're holed up in a cabin
up on the north fork road.

Hey, before you go...

You any good
with that gun you carry?

Yeah. You go have
a talk with him.

You might go out by way
of the west quarter.

Take a look at the crop.

And see if it's
ready for harvest?

Ain't gonna be no harvest.

You ever see 200 acres
of sweet peas in bloom?

No.

They're worth looking at.

Smell good, too.

There, that's
your share.

This is mine.

How come you get
twice as many as me?

That's because I'm generous.

If I was selfish,
I'd take the whole bunch.

I'm the one
did the stealin'.

All you did was sit around
and keep the old fool busy.

But it was my plan.

Seems like every time
you divvy something up,

I always get the short end.

That's the way
the brains is divided up.

You stop that kinda talk!
I ain't gonna listen.

Come in. Slow.

Is your name bosworth?

Maybe.
What do you want?

I just want to see
what kind of scum would send

A mutilated cat to a young
girl as a wedding present.

Who you callin' names?

Shut up, ed.

It ain't easy sending a gift
to a girl who's got everything.

What business
is it of yours?

I hear that you had
trouble with your father.

You threatened to harm him.

You heard that,
did you?

Just how well
do you know my old man?

Well enough to like him.

We know him a little better
than that, don't we?

We know him well enough
to know he's crazy.

That's beside the point.
My question to you was,

Did you threaten
to harm him?

Ain't it just like that wild old
coot to say something like that?

As a matter of fact, we don't
mean no harm to him at all.

We want him to be
in the best kind of place,

With the best kind of people

So everybody's gonna
understand him.

You're trying
to have him committed?

That's what you're
trying to do?

We already saw the sheriff
and we got the papers swore out.

I'd appreciate it
if you told the old fool

That's just what
we gonna do.

Crazy, huh?

They say I'm crazy.

That's what your
older two boys say,

And they're gonna try
and prove it.

Do you think
they can do it?

I don't know.

What do the other people in
this community think about you?

They might say
I'm a bit off.

Take the little matter
of jasper here.

Most people think
an owl is a funny pet.

But I like him.
He's my friend.

He teaches me
a lot of things.

Such as?

He knows enough
to keep his mouth shut.

Not chattering all the time
like a parrot.

He sleeps when he wants,
wakes up when he wants,

Makes his own schedule.
So do I.

Have you ever caged him?

I let him out
at night to hunt.

He comes back every morning.

He's better than
a watchdog, too.

If I was to yell,
he'd be on you in a minute.

You see them talons?
I see.

Will anyone else?

Why do you keep the rest
of this house locked up?

Why should I open it up?

There's nothing but dust
and sadness in them rooms.

I'm an old man, paladin.

I've outlived two wives.

A bad one and a good one.

And I've raised three boys.

Two of them want to kill me
for what I own.

At least you have
a fine son in hank.

I hope he gets here soon, we're
going to need his testimony.

Testimony? Is this business
going to court?

I'll ride into town today and see
what kind of a hearing you can expect.

I'll try to stop it,
but you'd better be prepared.

Prepared for what?

If the sheriff comes out here
to serve you with a paper

To appear, don't cause
any trouble.

You're gonna need all
the friends you can get.

All right. I'll be tame
as a housecat.

Do you always do that?

Sure.
I hate to do dishes,

So I buy a new set in town
every week for a dollar.

I throw them away
when they're dirty.

Anything wrong
with that?

No.

Nothing at all, no!

He's nice fella, jasper.

My name is paladin. Are
you mr. Daggett? Yes.

I understand you're
the only lawyer in town.

I am the only person
who's duly authorized

And licensed to
interpret the law.

Did you wish an appointment?

It's about rupe bosworth's
Saturday hearing.

I believe you know
about it.

I've been engaged
to see whether mr. Bosworth

Is confined to an institution
which can give him proper care.

What kind of a hearing
will there be?

There'll be a three man
commission composed of

A circuit judge,
an elected public official

And a doctor specializing
in mental defects.

They should arrive
by tomorrow.

Mr. Daggett, I'm asking you
to drop these charges.

On what grounds?

What business
is that of yours?

On the grounds that the charges
are false and malicious.

I appeal to your
professional ethics.

What's he doing here?

Frankly,
I don't know.

I was merely
trying to find out

If this shyster
had been misinformed.

Get out of this
office right now.

Right now!
Do you hear?

Seems to be a little
"deef", daggett.

Throw him out of here!

That's a pleasure.

Don't you dare hit me!

Rupe!

Oh, rupe!

Hank, when did you
get back?

About noon today.

Where's your dad?

The sheriff took him
to jail, mr. Paladin.

For what?

He came to serve papers on dad
to appear at a Saturday hearing.

I warned your dad
not to cause any trouble.

He didn't mean to.

He was being polite as pie. Without
thinking, he started to reach for his rifle.

The sheriff got scared and
started yellin' all kinds of orders

And that woke up jasper.

The owl?

Jasper swooped down and put
those talons into the sheriff

And the sheriff shot him.

Feathers all over
the kitchen.

And your dad
went for the sheriff.

We're gonna have quite
a time proving he's sane now.

Yeah.

How do you feel?

As well as I can since
I messed everything up.

Don't worry about it.

The judge and commissioners
arrive today,

Your hearing
will be this afternoon.

What are my chances?

It's hard to say.

Everything depends on
whether or not we can prove

That the boys are trying to put you
away so they can seize your property.

It's gonna be hard
to prove anything on them.

John, he's awful sly.

Why did you put
them off the place?

'cause of another
smart idea of john's.

He took out fire insurance
on the house...

Let hank tell you.
He knows.

Hank and I will do
the best we can for you.

Gonna be any outsiders
at this business?

It's a public hearing. Anyone
who's interested can attend.

I imagine some
of your neighbors will.

Then I best keep still.

I ain't so good at talking
in front of people.

Especially when they already
think I ain't... Quite right.

I'll say whatever
has to be said.

Thanks.

I hate to ask you, but could
you do me one more favor?

Name it.

See that jasper
has a decent burial.

They took me away before
I could do it.

Deputy.

We have here
before you a man

Who is a danger
to the entire community.

He lives like a savage
in a single room

While his large, comfortable
house remains locked and barred.

He has rich farmlands which he lays
waste by planting worthless crops.

This is a man whose mind
is dangerously unbalanced.

He must be committed
to an institution

For his own welfare.

And for the safety
of those around him.

] does the defendant have anything to say?

If the defendant has no
explanation to offer,

Then this commission has no
choice in its verdict.

Your honor,
my name is paladin.

And we have
an explanation.

Are you the defendant's
legal counsel?

I'm his friend.
He has no counsel.

Very well. Proceed.

Your honor, rupe bosworth is as
sane as any man in this room.

His two sons are trying
to have him committed

Solely to gain possession
of his property.

Objection!

This is an open hearing,
not a criminal court.

Proceed, mr. Paladin.

The final argument between
the father and the two sons

Occurred when they tried
to burn down the house

In order to collect
on a fire insurance policy

They'd taken
on the place.

Can you prove
this assertion?

I'd like you to hear
henry bosworth.

Very well.
Step over here, young man.

I was mending harnesses
in the barn

When I saw ed pour kerosene
on the back porch.

I yelled but
he kept right at it.

I had to do something,
so I fired a shot

To the back of the house
where dad was sleeping.

He came out in time to catch john
with a torch ready to fire the place.

Dad and I threw him off.

I guess they meant
to burn dad up with the house.

Had there ever
been trouble before?

Sure, there was the blowing up
of cy henson's place.

The time they stole
whit grantley's cattle.

Did these matters ever come
to the attention of the sheriff?

No, 'cause dad
always found out first

And settled it up in cash
so nobody complained.

Thank you, henry.
That's all for now.

Now, your honor,

There is the matter of
bosworth's eccentric behavior.

Let's take these things in order.
First the "predatory animal."

Rupe kept an owl because
it was a clean, quiet pet.

Destroyed rodents
and ranch pests.

The owl attacked the sheriff
only when he threatened rupe.

Any watchdog would
have done the same.

It's been alleged that rupe lived
like a savage in a single room.

That is a lie.

His kitchen was neat,
clean...

A good deal more so than
daggett's office.

I object!

If there's any question
in the commission's mind,

I'd suggest you gentlemen
examine both rooms

And make your own decision.

The rest of the house
is kept locked because

It would only be of nuisance
to clean and maintain.

And as for the rest,

Which of you gentlemen
likes to do dishes?

And which one of you
has ever lived in a house

With a cuckoo clock without ever at
some time feeling an impulse to smash it?

So that we have finally
200 acres of sweet peas

To prove or disprove
mr. Bosworth's sanity.

Thirty years of hard work have
made rupe financially independent.

He doesn't need
a money crop on that land.

And I don't know how anyone could look
at that 200 acres of color and beauty

And say it was
a foolish thing to do.

I believe this commission has enough
facts at its disposal to reach a decision.

This is outrageous!

Henry bosworth
would say anything

To do john and edward out
of their rightful inheritance.

your honor...

I have a document here
I'd like to read.

I'll be reading it without mr.
Bosworth's knowledge or consent,

But I believe
it's pertinent evidence.

Very well. Proceed.

"I, rupe bosworth, being of
sound mind and aging body

"do hereby make this
last will and testament.

"to my son, henry,
I leave the 500 acres

"adjoining the thousand
he received as a wedding gift.

"the remaining 3,000 acres I
leave to my sons, john and edward,

"to share as they see fit.

"I sincerely hope that hard
work and responsibility

"of ownership will teach them
what I have not been able to.

"that honesty and self-discipline
are a man's best assets.

"signed, rupe bosworth."

This will was made right after
henry's wedding a week ago.

It leaves equal shares
to all three brothers.

Henry knew the contents.
He had no reason to lie.

It is the verdict
of this commission

That rupert bosworth
is sane.

We can't begin to pay you
for what you did.

We'll talk about
that later.

Paladin!

You did a real fine
job in there, paladin.

I just wanna see you
get paid off.

You can't commit
a murder here.

Fire a shot in this alley, there'll be
dozens of people out here in seconds.

This ain't gonna
be no murder.

This gonna be real legal.

You gonna draw on ol' ed!

And I'm gonna shoot you
to save old ed's life.

You gonna have
that gun in your hand,

And dagget there's
gonna be my witness!

You turn around there
and face ed.

Move!

Real slow.

You gonna let him
do this to you, ed?

Do what to me?

He's gonna let me draw and
kill you before he shoots me,

And I can do it, you know.

Get on with it!

Wait a minute!

Why would he do that?

You heard the will.

With you dead, he gets three
thousand acres of prime land.

Maybe I ought to hold the gun
and let you draw on him.

You do like you're told.

He's right.

That's what you were
gonna do, wasn't it?

Isn't it?!

Sheriff, you'd better get
this one to a doctor's office.

His lawyer will
tell you what happened.

I'll come around later
and tell you the truth.

Daggett, you're gonna lose
another case when you try

And defend this one
on a murder charge.

Why did it have
to turn out this way?

What did I do wrong?

Wasn't your fault,
dad.

You did all
you could for him.

I tried.

I remember them as kids.

Playing marbles in the dirt.

They can't do anything
to efface that memory now.

Think about the fine
son you have in hank.

The fine grandchildren you'll
have in the future.

Let's ride on out
past those flowers.

We'll think about
what's good in the world

What's clean.
