You have to trust me.

If I'd been your enemy
rather than your friend,

You'd be dead by now.

Uncle martin?

Mr. Paladin's here.

Show him in please,
gordon.

How do you do,
mr. Paladin?

Mr. Westrope, it's
a privilege to meet you.

Drink?
Thank you.

This bourbon came
around cape horn

In a four-masted
schooner. Water?

No, thank you.

If this bourbon
needed more water,

They'd have done it
at the distillery.

I find that a four-master
has the right rolling motion

To properly age
a bourbon in the cask.

You think that's wise,
uncle martin?

Thank you for showing
mr. Paladin in, gordon.

Pleasure meeting you.
Gordon.

My nephew means well,

But he listens to my doctor,
who's a fool.

If a drink will kill me,
I'm better off to go quickly.

I'll drink to your health.

You have a very unusual
business card, mr. Paladin.

I'm in a very
unusual business.

Yes, I confess
I sent for you

Mainly out of curiosity.

I never saw
a professional gunman.

Tell me, please.
How can you be of use to me?

You're looking for the girl
who married your son,

Just before he died.

I believe I can
find her for you.

With a gun?

Sometimes a gun helps.

Your son was a cavalry officer,
wasn't he?

Yes.

He was stationed at an outpost
near the mexican border.

He was killed in action.
I have no details of his death.

You wrote to
his commanding officer.

As soon as the war department
notified me.

His commanding officer
sent me a very terse reply.

It's one of the things
that puzzled me.

In the last letter that I
ever received from my son,

He told me he'd found the girl
he'd looked for all his life,

And that he'd married her.

Did he give you
her name?

No, he said he was due
to come home on leave.

He wanted to introduce her
to me in person.

Mr. Westrope...

Did he say anything that
would help you identify her?

Only the fact that she
was english, from london.

Then I received a telegram.

I thought it would say
what day he was coming.

Instead, it said...
That he would never come.

You were very close
to your son, weren't you?

He was all that
a father could want.

A braver, kinder,
better man than I am.

I wouldn't want
the girl he married

To be in need of anything.

I want her to come here
and be my daughter.

I'd like to try
and find her for you, sir.

Well, mr. Paladin,
I mean no offense.

But I suspect it'll
take more than a fast gun

To find the girl.

Well, I have more
than a fast gun.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Your import firm has
a triple a credit rating.

Your bank balance
averages $40,000.

And you have
security holdings

In six prominent
san francisco companies.

Unbeknownst in most cases,
even to the board of directors.

Very interesting.
Anything more?

Yes.

You're a man
of regular habits.

You retire every night
at ten o'clock.

Your doctor
is josiah mckinley

Who you respect more
than you pretend to.

You suffer from
a cardiac weakness,

Which concerns you more
than you let anyone know.

Mr. Paladin, you've
told me quite enough

To demonstrate
your ability.

Oh yes, one more thing.

You like your private
little joke.

This whiskey did not
come around cape horn

In a four-master.

If this was rocked
in a cask at all,

It was on a bumpy
stagecoach ride

From a distillery
in sacramento.

If you hadn't known that,
you'd never have gotten the job.

But you've convinced me.

Why don't you keep
out of the way?

Take another look, major.

I'm not wearing a uniform
that takes orders from you.

Then get off the post.
I'll get off the post

When I have answers
to some questions.

Not before.
Sagebrush lawyer, huh?

We'll see
how smart you are.

After you spend ten days
in the guard house,

For trespassing
on government property.

The adjutant general may
be very interested in that

When I get out.

Step in my office.

That was pretty fancy talk.

What charge were you
thinking of making?

Charges, major.
Charges.

I made some inquiries.
Lieutenant westrope

And two of his men
were killed needlessly.

They were killed
in the line of duty.

We often have
these border clashes.

This is a cavalry outpost,
not a tea party!

They were killed because
someone is running

Contraband weapons
across the border to escobar.

That old border pirate
happens to be a friend of mine.

Did he tell you
who was running them?

No, but I imagine
he will if I decide

To meet his price.

What do you want?

Where's westrope's wife?

He wasn't married.

Junior officers
aren't allowed to marry.

Did his father send you?
Yes.

I have some of his
personal effects.

That's all?

That's all.

Thank you.

I'd like to see the marriage
license registry

For the past two months.
You can't.

Records are closed
to the public.

All right, I'd like
a marriage license then.

You'll have to
fill this out.

When I get this filled out,

I'll have to sign the marriage
license registry, won't I?

Get it out.
Two dollars first.

There's a page missing.
You can see where it's torn out.

Um hmm. So?

So what licenses were issued
during this period?

Was there one
for a michael westrope?

You don't expect me
to remember the name

Of everybody who applied for
a marriage license, do you?

Yes, I do.

But I don't know westrope.
Never heard of him!

I swear it!

I am isabel westrope.

Thank you for coming,
mr. Paladin.

I wasn't sure
you'd act on my note.

How did you know
who I was?

The clerk in major
blaisdell's office.

He's kept track of you
while you looked for me.

He was in my husband's
platoon.

I took a chance,
hoping you were a friend.

What do you mean?

You're not the only one
looking for me, mr. Paladin.

An attempt was made
on my life last week.

I've kept hidden
every moment since then.

What's the book?

Oh, dryden's.
"all for love."

It's a beautiful edition.

Now...

How can I be certain
you're mrs. Michael westrope?

Why should I pretend?

Good deal of money involved.
Family has a sizeable fortune.

Didn't your husband
tell you?

No.

We had such a short
time together.

We talked about everything.

Mostly what we wanted
from life.

Do you have
your marriage license?

No, it burned
in the fire.

Someone set fire to
the cottage michael rented.

Almost everything we had
went up in smoke.

I thought it was an accident,
until someone shot at me.

Can you tell me
the first name

Of your husband's father?

I really don't know.

Where do you come from?

London.
What part?

We lived on a little street
called shepherd's lane,

Not far from piccadilly.

Look here, mr. Paladin.
You came searching for me.

Now that you've found me,
you seem to be doing your best

To prove I'm not me.

I don't understand.

I'm not sure
that I do either.

But I'd like
to take you back

To mr. Westrope
in san francisco.

Will you come?
Of course I will.

I thought you might.

Why did you come west?

I had an aunt who was
supposed to live in wichita.

After I got there, I was
told she moved to tucson.

I suppose it was absurd
to try and find her.

But I felt so lost
and alone.

I don't know what
I would have done

If I hadn't met michael.
He was such a wonderful person.

Martin westrope.
Michael's father.

A very fine man.

Sure you'll like him
if you ever meet him.

Isabel westrope?

Yes?

Don't move.

You ever see
that man before?

No, I've never seen him.

I wonder how
he knew your name.

Mr. Paladin, sorry to
have kept you waiting.

I'm delighted to see you,
mr. Westrope.

You look well.
I feel wonderful.

I want to reimburse you
for your time and trouble.

Sorry you made that tedious
journey for nothing.

Nothing?

She arrived a few days
after you left.

Who arrived?
My daughter-in-law.

How much do I owe you?

There's no hurry
about that.

I'll bring you
the accounting.

I'd like very much to meet
your daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately,
she isn't here just now.

Gordon has her out,
showing her the city.

Shops and so forth,
you know.

I'm more sorry
than I can say.

You'll like her, paladin.
She's everything I'd hoped for.

A wonderful girl.

What is it, mr. Paladin?

What is it?

I've always been suspicious
of the sweet ones.

They're the ones
you have to watch.

What's the matter,
mr. Paladin?

I don't understand
what you're saying.

You're good.

You're really one of
the best I've ever seen.

If you have something
to tell me, say it!

The real mrs. Michael westrope
showed up.

That makes you an impostor
and me a fool.

How dare you, sir!

I will not be
called an impostor!

I am michael westrope's wife.
There is no other.

Why would I do such
an unspeakable thing?

For half a million dollars.

Well, you have conviction.

I don't know whether
you're lying or not,

But you have conviction.

Mr. Westrope, I hope
I'm not intruding.

You're welcome anytime.

Did you bring an accounting
of your expenses?

No, I decided in good faith
I couldn't charge you.

All I ask is
the privilege of meeting

The young lady
I was searching for.

Of course,
won't you sit down?

Gordon, ask katharine to
come down for a moment.

Very well.

You look very happy.

How wonderful
that you found her.

And how especially
wonderful for the girl.

And what a sweet,
attractive girl she is.

You know, I admire you.

Under the circumstances,
there aren't many men

Who would have followed their
heart instead of their head.

I'm afraid I don't
quite understand.

Most men would
have kept that girl

Under six months intensive
cross examination.

They would have demanded
conclusive proof.

After all, she's
your possible heiress.

But she gave me proof.

I didn't have
to ask for it.

She was sensitive enough
to volunteer it.

And the proof
was conclusive?

Come now, mr. Paladin!

Would she be here
otherwise?

She not only has every
detail of michael's life,

She has their
marriage license.

Oh, you look lovely,
my dear.

There's someone here
I want you to meet.

Katharine,
this is mr. Paladin.

Mr. Paladin,
my son's wife.

How do you do?
Delighted to meet you.

Dad told me you were
off in the wilds,

Tracking me down.
I was indeed.

If I'd only written.

But the news of mike's death shocked me so.

I wasn't myself
for a long time.

And of course, I wasn't
sure of my reception.

I'm very happy
for both of you.

In celebration...

I'd like to plan a dinner
for you at my hotel.

I think the carlton has
the finest chef in the city.

That is most kind of you,
mr. Paladin.

It's settled then.
Tomorrow night at eight?

Yes.

Oh, one more thing.

Did your husband
have a favorite wine?

Chablis in white wines.
Chateau lafitte in bordeauxes.

And of course,
he always loved champagne.

Dry.

Dry.

Wonderful dinner,
mr. Paladin.

The chef is a most
talented man.

Thank you, I'm certainly
happy you enjoyed it.

No, really.
I don't believe I should.

I'm half-giddy now.

Well, you won't
have to drink.

I'd like to propose a toast.
Gentlemen...

Here's to a young lady
who left her native land

A very short time ago.
Two years ago.

And in leaving
her native land,

She left her mother
and father.

My parents died
when I was a child.

This young lady, who lived
in an east end orphanage...

Mr. Paladin, I lived with
my aunt on mount street.

That's in the west end,
near piccadilly.

You probably
never heard of it.

On the contrary,
I know it quite well.

I never thought of you
as a tourist.

I'm not a tourist.
But I do travel.

If I may be permitted to
go ahead with my toast,

This young lady followed
the man of her choice.

And in a dusty border town,
in an old adobe church,

They were married.

None of the niceties

Of the newly married state
were hers.

Instead, she...
We were going to europe.

On a delayed honeymoon.

He so much wanted
to see paris.

After paris,
we were going to nice.

By carriage.
Mike hated trains.

And so he did.

A cavalryman never trusted
anything but a horse.

I drink to the cavalry.

To the cavalry.

Speaking of the cavalry,
did your husband tell you

About his commanding
officer?

Yes, major blaisdell,
I believe his name was.

Why didn't you two go to him
for permission to be married?

Major blaisdell was
a rather difficult person.

Mike felt he might
refuse the request,

So we kept it secret.

Oh, I see.

And because major blaisdell
didn't know, you couldn't

Go to him after mike's death
for his personal belongings,

Including the watch you
gave him. That's right.

That's very interesting,
you come from mount street?

That's very near hyde park
and the great exposition.

Yes.

You certainly must
have enjoyed that.

Although you were
quite young at the time.

How old were you?

I was sixteen, I think.

My dear,
you are charming.

But you're a liar.

You abuse your privilege,
mr. Paladin!

The great exposition
was held in 1851.

This young lady
wasn't even born then.

The church
in the border town

Is wood, not adobe.

And you never gave
michael westrope a watch.

The only watch he had,
his father gave him.

Mr. Westrope...

Your daughter-in-law
is a fraud.

She never knew your son.
That's ridiculous.

I have their
marriage license.

I know printers who could
produce a license showing

I was wed to queen victoria.

But katharine
has other proof.

She knows things that
no one could have told her,

Except michael.

Except michael.

Except michael or the man
who was raised with him...

As a brother.
He's insane.

Of course.

Why should gordon
tell katharine anything?

He's losing a fortune
if she's my heiress.

He's trying to palm her off
as your daughter-in-law.

Are you going to listen
to more of these ravings?

Perhaps you can tell us
who wrote this letter.

It offers $1,000
for the death

Of mrs. Michael westrope.

Katharine, murder is
a very serious crime.

Carries a long
jail sentence.

This letter is in
a woman's handwriting.

Would you care to show us
your handwriting?

Gordon made me
write this letter.

He planned the whole thing
just like you said.

It's up to you whether
you press charges.

Just get them
out of my sight.

Please, get them
out of my sight.

Miss.

I'm very sorry to have
done this to you.

I'm sorry
you were right.

Now I have nothing.

Excuse me.

Isabel.

Mr. Westrope, I'd like you
to meet michael's wife.

Her name is isabel.

Isabel.

Now you're a lonely man,

And you're too anxious
to believe.

This time we don't want you
to believe anything,

Until it's been proven.

Mr. Westrope, we don't have
to talk about it tonight.

But tomorrow we'll have
a long chat about michael.

Well, this is
an unexpected pleasure.

Mr. Paladin,
I only have a minute.

But I couldn't leave without
saying goodbye and thank you.

Goodbye?
Is anything wrong?

Oh no, everything is fine.

Mr. Westrope's
a wonderful man.

So much like michael.

We're going on
a trip together.

Where? Our first stop
is going to be England.

I'm going to
show him london

And all the places
where I grew up.

I know you'll have
a wonderful trip.

I'm sure we will.

I want to give you
this book.

Somehow, I want you
not to forget me.

Isabel...

This is a first edition
of dryden's "all for love."

You shouldn't give me this,
it's very valuable.

I know, but I want you
to have it.

It's been in my family
for years.

"hairs like straw,
from the surface bow."

"he who would search
for pearls, must dive below."

The prologue.

Dryden was
a very wise man.

So are you,
mr. Paladin.

Goodbye.
Goodbye.
