Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:57,170 --> 00:01:00,537
Eddy, see that this gent's horse
gets taken care of.
2
00:01:00,674 --> 00:01:03,905
That's Mr. Adams
at the poker table there.
3
00:01:04,044 --> 00:01:05,875
He's expecting you.
4
00:01:20,594 --> 00:01:23,290
I was told I could find
a Mr. Adams here.
5
00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:24,954
Here.
6
00:01:35,809 --> 00:01:37,640
Over here.
7
00:01:42,082 --> 00:01:45,483
Well, you didn't waste any time
getting acquainted with him.
8
00:01:45,619 --> 00:01:49,077
That man you bumped into.
9
00:01:54,361 --> 00:01:56,295
You could have earned your
thousand dollars right there.
10
00:01:56,430 --> 00:01:59,422
And I'm telling you I'll do
the same job for half that.
11
00:01:59,566 --> 00:02:02,501
I pay top money for top men.
12
00:02:02,636 --> 00:02:04,797
Mr. Adams, your letter
identified you
13
00:02:04,938 --> 00:02:06,803
as a district prosecutor
14
00:02:06,940 --> 00:02:08,840
who is unable to obtain
certain evidence.
15
00:02:08,975 --> 00:02:11,808
That's right.
I'll spell it out for you.
16
00:02:13,413 --> 00:02:16,405
That man, Virge Beech,
killed my brother.
17
00:02:17,818 --> 00:02:20,343
Do you know what good being
district prosecutor did me?
18
00:02:20,487 --> 00:02:21,613
None.
19
00:02:21,755 --> 00:02:24,451
When Beech wants to kill a man,
he simply pushes him
20
00:02:24,591 --> 00:02:27,617
into drawing first,
and then he claims self-defense.
21
00:02:27,761 --> 00:02:30,628
Mr. Adams, I do not hire out
as an assassin.
22
00:02:30,764 --> 00:02:33,198
And it's perfectly possible
to bring a gunfighter into court
23
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:36,131
on charges of deliberately
provoking a fight.
24
00:02:36,269 --> 00:02:38,999
You don't understand,
Mr. Paladin.
25
00:02:39,139 --> 00:02:42,165
I want Beech to know
he's being cheated,
26
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:45,142
the same way
he cheated my brother.
27
00:02:45,278 --> 00:02:48,042
I want him beat
before he starts...
28
00:02:48,181 --> 00:02:51,582
trapped and squirming
and knowing he's going to die.
29
00:02:51,718 --> 00:02:54,687
Mr. Adams, you have made
a serious mistake.
30
00:02:54,821 --> 00:02:57,790
I'm not an executioner.
31
00:03:10,103 --> 00:03:12,162
You know, I'm not the only one
that feels this way.
32
00:03:12,305 --> 00:03:15,331
The whole town feels as I do.
33
00:03:15,475 --> 00:03:17,807
You were our first choice.
34
00:03:19,212 --> 00:03:23,114
Well, maybe second choice
will work just as well.
35
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:25,081
One way or another.
36
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:32,083
Beech.
37
00:03:32,225 --> 00:03:34,216
Turn and get it!
38
00:04:00,253 --> 00:04:02,244
Another murder, Beech?
39
00:04:02,389 --> 00:04:04,254
What are you saying?
40
00:04:04,391 --> 00:04:07,121
Everybody here saw Haskins
with his gun already out.
41
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:08,488
No.
42
00:04:08,628 --> 00:04:10,687
All we saw was...
43
00:04:10,830 --> 00:04:12,923
you draw first.
44
00:04:25,545 --> 00:04:28,173
Well...
45
00:04:28,315 --> 00:04:31,375
I reckon somebody
ought to get the judge.
46
00:04:57,811 --> 00:05:00,109
Won't take long, will it, Judge?
47
00:05:00,246 --> 00:05:03,238
Costs me money every time
you shut down the bar.
48
00:05:05,385 --> 00:05:09,287
Sir, this will be a legally
constituted court, won't it?
49
00:05:09,422 --> 00:05:12,323
Tablerock District Territorial
Circuit Court.
50
00:05:12,459 --> 00:05:14,290
Informal but legal.
51
00:05:15,862 --> 00:05:18,456
Are you aware, sir,
that the murder charges
52
00:05:18,598 --> 00:05:20,828
against the defendant
are completely fraudulent?
53
00:05:22,769 --> 00:05:25,636
A believer in reason and law.
54
00:05:27,507 --> 00:05:29,372
I felt the same way once,
55
00:05:29,509 --> 00:05:31,977
until the good citizens
of my home state
56
00:05:32,112 --> 00:05:35,479
impeached me for actually
dispensing justice,
57
00:05:35,615 --> 00:05:38,482
logically and lawfully.
58
00:05:38,618 --> 00:05:41,178
And what does His Honor
believe in now?
59
00:05:41,321 --> 00:05:44,882
What every honest man
ultimately admits:
60
00:05:45,025 --> 00:05:48,517
my belly full, my skin intact.
61
00:05:50,030 --> 00:05:52,123
Reason and law.
62
00:05:52,265 --> 00:05:54,460
You tell 'em the truth.
63
00:05:54,601 --> 00:05:55,898
You tell 'em what happened.
64
00:05:56,036 --> 00:05:59,369
you ain't
giving the orders anymore.
65
00:05:59,506 --> 00:06:01,235
Ain't you got brave, though?
66
00:06:01,374 --> 00:06:04,571
Only this morning it was,
"Yes, Mr. Beech, sir."
67
00:06:04,711 --> 00:06:06,872
How about it, Judge?
Am I allowed?
68
00:06:07,013 --> 00:06:09,004
If he gets too noisy.
69
00:06:09,149 --> 00:06:12,016
Sit down.
70
00:06:12,152 --> 00:06:13,676
That'll do, gentlemen.
71
00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:16,254
Opera house accommodations
are not required
72
00:06:16,389 --> 00:06:18,550
for a penny puppet show.
73
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,927
Sheriff, call the court
to session.
74
00:06:25,832 --> 00:06:29,700
All right, folks, everybody
shut up and grab a seat.
75
00:06:31,738 --> 00:06:33,603
Are you staying
for the proceedings, sir?
76
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:35,503
Yes, sir, I'm staying.
77
00:06:36,976 --> 00:06:40,878
Now, this is a legal court under
the laws of Arizona Territory.
78
00:06:41,014 --> 00:06:42,675
There'll be
no drinking or dancing allowed
79
00:06:42,816 --> 00:06:43,908
until we're finished.
80
00:06:44,050 --> 00:06:47,713
It seems our able
district prosecutor
81
00:06:47,854 --> 00:06:49,879
has snared a sinner.
82
00:06:50,023 --> 00:06:53,220
Let's hear the charges.
83
00:06:53,359 --> 00:06:54,690
We're charging Virge Beech
84
00:06:54,828 --> 00:06:57,353
with murder in the first degree,
Your Honor.
85
00:06:57,497 --> 00:07:00,625
He drew down on Elmo Haskins
and killed him in cold blood.
86
00:07:00,767 --> 00:07:02,166
You're a liar!
87
00:07:02,302 --> 00:07:04,532
Is that your defense, Beech?
88
00:07:04,671 --> 00:07:07,105
Haskins had a gun out
89
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,639
pointing at my back.
90
00:07:08,775 --> 00:07:11,471
Oh, that's always been
your claim, hasn't it, Beech?
91
00:07:11,611 --> 00:07:14,546
What about Pete Jarret,
Tom Miller, the Lacey kid,
92
00:07:14,681 --> 00:07:15,909
Mr. Adams' brother?
93
00:07:16,049 --> 00:07:17,539
Those were fair fights.
94
00:07:17,684 --> 00:07:19,811
Killing my brother
was no fair fight, Beech!
95
00:07:19,953 --> 00:07:23,320
Ridiculing him, insulting him,
driving him into it!
96
00:07:23,456 --> 00:07:25,185
You can call any witnesses
97
00:07:25,325 --> 00:07:29,091
who may feel impelled to testify
on your behalf, Mr. Beech.
98
00:07:29,229 --> 00:07:30,856
You know blasted well
there isn't anyone here
99
00:07:30,997 --> 00:07:32,021
who's gonna take my side.
100
00:07:32,165 --> 00:07:35,828
Then call your first witness,
Prosecutor.
101
00:07:38,271 --> 00:07:40,296
If it please the court,
102
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,806
may I call your attention
to the fact
103
00:07:42,942 --> 00:07:44,671
that defense has no counsel.
104
00:07:44,811 --> 00:07:47,939
Uh, $25 fine for interrupting
the proceedings.
105
00:07:48,081 --> 00:07:51,482
Well, now,
may I also call attention...
106
00:07:51,618 --> 00:07:54,985
to the laws of this territory,
which provide that any citizen
107
00:07:55,121 --> 00:07:57,612
being tried for
a capital offense is entitled
108
00:07:57,757 --> 00:07:59,782
to defense counsel...
109
00:07:59,926 --> 00:08:01,291
defense counsel
of his own choosing,
110
00:08:01,427 --> 00:08:03,418
or he's entitled
to have the court appoint
111
00:08:03,563 --> 00:08:06,396
the best available
defense counsel.
112
00:08:08,234 --> 00:08:10,600
Sheriff, take this man
into custody.
113
00:08:10,737 --> 00:08:11,965
Your Honor,
114
00:08:12,105 --> 00:08:15,734
I think you should tell
all of these people present...
115
00:08:15,875 --> 00:08:19,868
that under the rules
of Gisky v. Territory,
116
00:08:20,013 --> 00:08:23,471
the absence of defense counsel
not only jeopardizes
117
00:08:23,616 --> 00:08:26,346
the legality
of these entire proceedings,
118
00:08:26,486 --> 00:08:30,081
but it makes every person in
this room liable to prosecution.
119
00:08:33,660 --> 00:08:35,355
Uh...
120
00:08:35,495 --> 00:08:37,690
that is correct, Your Honor.
121
00:08:37,831 --> 00:08:40,265
I don't mind doing it legally.
122
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,834
You're a fool, Adams.
123
00:08:42,969 --> 00:08:44,834
Oh, I think,
sir, that Mr. Adams means
124
00:08:44,971 --> 00:08:48,168
he doesn't care how we do it,
as long as Mr. Beech hangs.
125
00:08:48,308 --> 00:08:49,707
Hey, throw him out of here!
126
00:08:51,678 --> 00:08:53,543
Order! Order in the court!
127
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,272
Order!
128
00:08:55,415 --> 00:08:58,282
Um...
129
00:08:58,418 --> 00:09:00,352
Charge, countercharge,
130
00:09:00,486 --> 00:09:02,716
lie, cheat,
131
00:09:02,856 --> 00:09:05,791
kill, bury.
132
00:09:05,925 --> 00:09:08,860
I wonder how many of us
appreciate the...
133
00:09:08,995 --> 00:09:12,021
sheer brilliance
of our philosophical
134
00:09:12,165 --> 00:09:14,861
and legal systems
that enable a man to be
135
00:09:15,001 --> 00:09:17,128
anything from angel to devil.
136
00:09:17,270 --> 00:09:19,932
And with the slightest bit
of cleverness,
137
00:09:20,073 --> 00:09:23,873
be able to avoid the
responsibilities, the pitfalls,
138
00:09:24,010 --> 00:09:26,205
the negative aspects of both.
139
00:09:29,849 --> 00:09:34,218
I admire your perceptiveness
and wit, Mr. Paladin.
140
00:09:34,354 --> 00:09:37,448
But don't doubt for one moment
that this public servant
141
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:40,491
is going to give
those fine, upstanding,
142
00:09:40,627 --> 00:09:44,586
vengeful voters out there
exactly what they want.
143
00:09:44,731 --> 00:09:49,065
Now, perhaps since Mr. Paladin
is such an expert on law,
144
00:09:49,202 --> 00:09:52,228
he'd be willing to act
for the defense, Your Honor.
145
00:09:52,372 --> 00:09:55,705
Mm. Has it occurred to you
that he may even
146
00:09:55,842 --> 00:09:58,811
have been waiting
for you to suggest that?
147
00:10:01,014 --> 00:10:02,447
I accept.
148
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,785
Ah.
149
00:10:08,922 --> 00:10:12,449
Well, now, agreeing
that Mr. Beech is entitled
150
00:10:12,592 --> 00:10:15,618
to the best available,
and seeing how
151
00:10:15,762 --> 00:10:19,892
you are the only available,
we've complied with the law.
152
00:10:20,033 --> 00:10:22,593
Call your first witness,
Prosecutor.
153
00:10:22,735 --> 00:10:25,033
Uh, sir, Your Honor...
154
00:10:25,171 --> 00:10:27,731
the defense moves
for a change of venue.
155
00:10:27,874 --> 00:10:29,364
Denied.
156
00:10:31,377 --> 00:10:35,905
Then, sir, the defense requests
a delay in the proceedings.
157
00:10:36,049 --> 00:10:37,607
Denied.
158
00:10:38,818 --> 00:10:43,118
Your Honor, the defense
requests a short recess.
159
00:10:44,157 --> 00:10:46,022
Denied.
160
00:10:48,528 --> 00:10:51,395
I did warn you, sir.
161
00:10:54,467 --> 00:10:56,697
Uh, call your first witness,
Prosecutor.
162
00:11:00,573 --> 00:11:03,770
The prosecution calls
Sheriff Matthew Tyler.
163
00:11:11,651 --> 00:11:15,417
Your Honor...
I believe the sheriff
164
00:11:15,555 --> 00:11:18,183
might, uh, find that chair
slightly less comfortable
165
00:11:18,324 --> 00:11:20,690
if we complied
with the territory statutes
166
00:11:20,827 --> 00:11:23,295
requiring witness oaths.
167
00:11:23,429 --> 00:11:24,919
Mm.
168
00:11:26,599 --> 00:11:28,089
Raise your right hand.
169
00:11:28,234 --> 00:11:30,293
Do you solemnly swear
to tell the truth,
170
00:11:30,436 --> 00:11:32,267
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
171
00:11:32,405 --> 00:11:34,373
- so help you God?
- I do.
172
00:11:34,507 --> 00:11:36,031
Proceed.
173
00:11:36,175 --> 00:11:38,905
Just what's in this
for you, gunfighter?
174
00:11:39,045 --> 00:11:41,639
Well, Mr. Beech, some people
might call it justice.
175
00:11:43,649 --> 00:11:45,708
You and your words
don't make any sense.
176
00:11:45,852 --> 00:11:47,752
Well, you better hope I do.
177
00:11:47,887 --> 00:11:50,879
'Cause that's the only thing
that'll keep you alive.
178
00:11:53,993 --> 00:11:55,858
Tell us what you saw, Sheriff.
179
00:11:55,995 --> 00:11:59,658
Well, Beech and Haskins
had been arguing all afternoon.
180
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:01,892
That's a stinkin' lie right off!
181
00:12:02,035 --> 00:12:04,196
I never even spoke to him today.
182
00:12:04,337 --> 00:12:05,895
Mr. Paladin,
183
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:09,372
now, you're the one who insisted
we do this by the rules.
184
00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:10,601
Yes, sir, Your Honor.
185
00:12:10,743 --> 00:12:12,472
I apologize
for the conduct of my client.
186
00:12:12,612 --> 00:12:13,806
Sit down, Mr. Beech.
187
00:12:13,946 --> 00:12:15,846
You make me.
188
00:12:17,884 --> 00:12:19,749
Go ahead, Sheriff.
189
00:12:19,886 --> 00:12:22,218
Well, Beech there
suddenly drew down on Elmo.
190
00:12:22,355 --> 00:12:24,516
And you all know
how fast Beech is.
191
00:12:24,657 --> 00:12:26,852
Elmo didn't even
get his gun out.
192
00:12:28,861 --> 00:12:32,422
Defendant drew on victim,
killed him.
193
00:12:32,565 --> 00:12:34,965
Sworn to by your own sheriff.
194
00:12:37,737 --> 00:12:41,229
Any cross-examination,
Mr. Paladin?
195
00:12:41,374 --> 00:12:43,365
Yes, sir.
196
00:12:48,014 --> 00:12:50,209
Sheriff, will you repeat
your oath of office?
197
00:12:50,349 --> 00:12:51,611
What is this?
198
00:12:51,751 --> 00:12:52,843
The defense is limited
199
00:12:52,985 --> 00:12:54,475
to subjects introduced
on direct examination.
200
00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:56,110
Well, I'm very grateful
201
00:12:56,255 --> 00:12:58,348
to the prosecutor
for instructing me.
202
00:12:58,491 --> 00:13:01,824
However, the, uh, prosecutor
has brought out the fact
203
00:13:01,961 --> 00:13:04,725
that this was testimony
by the township's sheriff,
204
00:13:04,864 --> 00:13:06,695
and I'm simply
trying to establish
205
00:13:06,833 --> 00:13:10,132
what special significance
that fact holds.
206
00:13:10,269 --> 00:13:14,171
I... can't deny the logic
in that, Adams.
207
00:13:14,307 --> 00:13:17,868
You had to stress the fact
that Tyler is our sheriff.
208
00:13:18,010 --> 00:13:19,978
Tell him what you can.
209
00:13:21,414 --> 00:13:23,678
Well, as...
as far as I can remember,
210
00:13:23,816 --> 00:13:26,649
I said I'd support and defend
the constitution of the land
211
00:13:26,786 --> 00:13:28,651
and the laws of the territory.
212
00:13:28,788 --> 00:13:32,246
Nothing about quelling riots,
insurrections,
213
00:13:32,391 --> 00:13:35,485
arresting criminals,
protecting women and children?
214
00:13:35,628 --> 00:13:37,186
Well, now,
ain't that all included
215
00:13:37,330 --> 00:13:39,298
when you say
you'll uphold the law?
216
00:13:39,432 --> 00:13:42,595
Yeah, but it's
complicated, isn't it, Sheriff?
217
00:13:42,735 --> 00:13:45,101
It's a vast system.
218
00:13:45,238 --> 00:13:46,796
It's not a system.
219
00:13:46,939 --> 00:13:50,670
It's a labyrinth
of laws and legal procedures.
220
00:13:50,810 --> 00:13:53,278
Why, a man could spend
the better part of his life
221
00:13:53,412 --> 00:13:55,175
learning just one small part
of it.
222
00:13:56,749 --> 00:13:59,149
It's too doggone mixed up
and tangled up for my taste.
223
00:13:59,285 --> 00:14:00,809
Hmm. Well, Sheriff,
would you say
224
00:14:00,953 --> 00:14:03,444
that it might be a better idea
to, say, uh,
225
00:14:03,589 --> 00:14:07,025
select the sheriff and the judge
and the prosecutor,
226
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,822
and allow them to settle
questions of right and wrong
227
00:14:09,962 --> 00:14:11,862
as each one came up?
228
00:14:11,998 --> 00:14:14,523
Well, now, I... I'd reckon
229
00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:16,965
I'd trust my judgment
all right, but, uh...
230
00:14:17,103 --> 00:14:18,832
Your Honor, he's leading this
231
00:14:18,971 --> 00:14:20,495
into completely
immaterial areas!
232
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,437
Well, be a little quicker
on your feet!
233
00:14:22,575 --> 00:14:23,974
He's already made his point.
234
00:14:25,411 --> 00:14:26,435
Well, well, tell the jury
235
00:14:26,579 --> 00:14:28,240
not to pay any attention
to all of this!
236
00:14:28,381 --> 00:14:31,350
Disregard what you've heard.
237
00:14:31,484 --> 00:14:35,079
And you quit telling me
how to run my court.
238
00:14:45,565 --> 00:14:47,396
I'm beginning to doubt
239
00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:49,398
you even saw the shooting.
240
00:14:49,535 --> 00:14:51,400
I was standing less than
ten feet away!
241
00:14:51,537 --> 00:14:52,868
Less than ten feet away?
242
00:14:53,005 --> 00:14:55,098
Why didn't you interfere
when Haskins drew his gun?
243
00:14:55,241 --> 00:14:57,072
He had it out
before I could move.
244
00:14:57,210 --> 00:14:59,075
The sheriff has just testified
245
00:14:59,212 --> 00:15:01,646
that he didn't even
draw his gun!
246
00:15:03,015 --> 00:15:05,210
Well, I...
247
00:15:05,351 --> 00:15:07,683
Weren't you listening
when the sheriff testified?
248
00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:11,847
I tried to listen, and to get
the story straight, but...
249
00:15:11,991 --> 00:15:14,687
That's all.
No further questions.
250
00:15:14,827 --> 00:15:18,126
Now, it is a remarkable facet
251
00:15:18,264 --> 00:15:20,323
of our system
of jurisprudence.
252
00:15:20,466 --> 00:15:22,730
We take a perfectly
ordinary chair,
253
00:15:22,868 --> 00:15:24,768
just like that one there,
254
00:15:24,904 --> 00:15:27,031
we put a supposed thoroughbred
in it,
255
00:15:27,173 --> 00:15:29,334
and he immediately
betrays himself
256
00:15:29,475 --> 00:15:31,170
by braying like a jackass!
257
00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:37,048
Now, wait a minute, Paladin.
258
00:15:37,183 --> 00:15:38,514
You've got no right to make...
259
00:15:38,651 --> 00:15:40,414
make a speech
every time you stand up.
260
00:15:40,553 --> 00:15:42,578
Sir, I was simply
trying to point out
261
00:15:42,722 --> 00:15:45,885
that our system of jurisprudence
is remarkably efficient.
262
00:15:47,893 --> 00:15:50,418
Now, you do agree
with that, don't you?
263
00:15:50,563 --> 00:15:51,689
I never said I didn't.
264
00:15:51,831 --> 00:15:52,889
I-I'm just complaining
that every time you...
265
00:15:53,032 --> 00:15:54,192
Sir, I was simply
trying to say that
266
00:15:54,333 --> 00:15:56,893
our system of jurisprudence,
whatever its faults,
267
00:15:57,036 --> 00:16:00,494
and its lengthy,
time-consuming formalities,
268
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,576
is still productive,
generally speaking, of justice.
269
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:08,612
Or does our learned county
prosecutor disagree with that?
270
00:16:08,748 --> 00:16:11,717
Aren't you going
to keep him in order?!
271
00:16:11,851 --> 00:16:16,686
Mr. Paladin, um,
I'm cautioning you that, uh...
272
00:16:16,822 --> 00:16:20,553
that this is not a...
an exercise in citizenship.
273
00:16:20,693 --> 00:16:25,255
Uh, uh, what I'm saying is
that, uh, it is not necessary
274
00:16:25,398 --> 00:16:28,492
for the court or its officers
to constantly
275
00:16:28,634 --> 00:16:31,034
reaffirm a belief
in this country's laws
276
00:16:31,170 --> 00:16:32,398
or principles.
277
00:16:32,538 --> 00:16:35,564
Uh...
278
00:16:35,708 --> 00:16:39,667
Mr. Paladin, this is not
an elocution platform.
279
00:16:39,812 --> 00:16:42,975
The purpose of a trial
is simply to determine
280
00:16:43,115 --> 00:16:45,948
whether or not the defendant
is innocent or guilty.
281
00:16:46,085 --> 00:16:48,383
Yes, sir, Your Honor.
282
00:16:48,521 --> 00:16:53,390
And any other reason
for holding a trial...
283
00:16:53,526 --> 00:16:56,620
would be...
284
00:16:56,762 --> 00:16:58,753
hypocrisy.
285
00:17:04,337 --> 00:17:06,430
I apologize
for wasting the court's time
286
00:17:06,572 --> 00:17:08,563
on a matter so obvious.
287
00:17:11,243 --> 00:17:15,043
Well, Prosecutor, do you have
another witness to call or not?
288
00:17:19,885 --> 00:17:23,116
The prosecution calls
Thomas Beeker.
289
00:17:23,255 --> 00:17:25,450
I saw him sneak out
about a minute ago.
290
00:17:30,429 --> 00:17:32,420
Josh Cassidy.
291
00:17:39,605 --> 00:17:41,596
Get up here, Josh.
292
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:49,611
Josh! Josh!
293
00:17:54,620 --> 00:17:56,952
Look, all we need is one person
294
00:17:57,089 --> 00:17:59,080
to corroborate
the sheriffts testimony.
295
00:18:01,127 --> 00:18:02,924
You mean, tell the same story.
296
00:18:03,062 --> 00:18:05,087
I don't need your help!
297
00:18:06,699 --> 00:18:09,725
Well, come on! There were dozens
of you willing an hour ago!
298
00:18:15,307 --> 00:18:17,036
Well, what difference
does it make?!
299
00:18:17,176 --> 00:18:18,541
Look, it seems to me
300
00:18:18,677 --> 00:18:20,611
you're forgetting the real
reason we're holding this trial!
301
00:18:20,746 --> 00:18:23,544
A trial is a search
for truth, Prosecutor.
302
00:18:23,682 --> 00:18:25,547
Virge Beech is a murderer!
303
00:18:25,684 --> 00:18:27,549
That's your precious truth!
304
00:18:27,686 --> 00:18:29,176
I've seen him take life.
305
00:18:29,321 --> 00:18:31,551
Every man in this room
has seen the same!
306
00:18:31,690 --> 00:18:33,715
If you must string him up,
307
00:18:33,859 --> 00:18:36,453
take him out and do it for
something he's actually done.
308
00:18:36,595 --> 00:18:39,962
But don't ask me to-to run
a proper court, and then
309
00:18:40,099 --> 00:18:42,067
whine that the law casts
too bright a light
310
00:18:42,201 --> 00:18:43,691
for a... for a lynching!
311
00:18:43,836 --> 00:18:46,999
Look, I say
we have had a fair trial,
312
00:18:47,139 --> 00:18:48,868
and it's time for a verdict!
313
00:18:49,008 --> 00:18:50,737
Does the prosecution rest?
314
00:18:50,876 --> 00:18:52,366
Yes!
315
00:18:52,511 --> 00:18:54,138
Mr. Paladin?
316
00:18:56,182 --> 00:19:00,209
Your Honor,
I believe I've said enough.
317
00:19:00,352 --> 00:19:01,478
Mm-hmm.
318
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:03,588
Like the judge was saying,
Mr. Adams,
319
00:19:03,722 --> 00:19:05,656
talking about lynching's
one thing,
320
00:19:05,791 --> 00:19:08,419
but sitting
in a courtroom and...
321
00:19:08,561 --> 00:19:13,225
twisting around with the law...
that's something else again.
322
00:19:16,569 --> 00:19:19,538
Mr. Foreman, I believe you have
a very good point there.
323
00:19:20,973 --> 00:19:24,033
The law should be
something like...
324
00:19:24,176 --> 00:19:26,235
well, something like church.
325
00:19:26,378 --> 00:19:28,403
Can't you shut him up?!
326
00:19:28,547 --> 00:19:31,516
I'm forced to find you in
contempt of court, Prosecutor,
327
00:19:31,650 --> 00:19:33,447
and assign...
328
00:19:35,488 --> 00:19:36,819
You're a dead man, Adams.
329
00:19:56,008 --> 00:19:58,408
There. You see?
330
00:19:58,544 --> 00:20:00,808
He was already
pulling the trigger.
331
00:20:00,946 --> 00:20:02,345
Now, it didn't matter
332
00:20:02,481 --> 00:20:04,847
how many of you behind me
the blast got to!
333
00:20:04,984 --> 00:20:07,384
Now, when there's a rattler
loose in the room,
334
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,455
do you debate,
or do you stomp on it?!
335
00:20:10,589 --> 00:20:12,716
If it please the court...
336
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:23,898
...having undertaken
the defense of Mr. Beech...
337
00:20:24,036 --> 00:20:27,369
Now do you see that we're only
trying to protect ourselves?
338
00:20:27,506 --> 00:20:29,371
I see, Mr. Adams.
339
00:20:29,508 --> 00:20:31,373
I always have.
340
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:33,774
What you're saying is that
341
00:20:33,913 --> 00:20:36,438
if most of the members
of any community decide
342
00:20:36,582 --> 00:20:38,447
that one other member
is dangerous
343
00:20:38,584 --> 00:20:41,485
and should be done away with,
then it should be done quickly,
344
00:20:41,620 --> 00:20:47,081
without the delays and risks
inherent in a court trial.
345
00:20:47,226 --> 00:20:48,716
Well, that's about it.
346
00:20:48,861 --> 00:20:51,853
Well, sir, I'm prepared
to withdraw from this case,
347
00:20:51,997 --> 00:20:54,227
I'm prepared
to leave this town,
348
00:20:54,366 --> 00:20:57,494
if you are prepared
to accept an equally fair
349
00:20:57,636 --> 00:21:00,605
and simple request.
350
00:21:00,739 --> 00:21:03,537
See...
351
00:21:03,676 --> 00:21:05,610
in order
to guarantee equal treatment,
352
00:21:05,744 --> 00:21:10,477
as is right and necessary
in a democracy,
353
00:21:10,616 --> 00:21:12,743
you will agree
354
00:21:12,885 --> 00:21:16,082
to distribute, periodically,
secret ballots
355
00:21:16,221 --> 00:21:19,122
containing the names of
each member of this community.
356
00:21:19,258 --> 00:21:20,850
Those ballots will be marked
357
00:21:20,993 --> 00:21:23,223
by every other member
of this community:
358
00:21:23,362 --> 00:21:26,559
yes or no, life or death!
359
00:21:31,036 --> 00:21:33,402
I'm surprised
no one has used this before.
360
00:21:33,539 --> 00:21:35,905
Marvelously simple, efficient,
361
00:21:36,041 --> 00:21:39,067
bound to curb theft,
uh, adultery, gossip.
362
00:21:39,211 --> 00:21:43,238
Uh, it may even
stamp out bragging,
363
00:21:43,382 --> 00:21:46,215
jealousy, uh,
short-weighing by merchants,
364
00:21:46,352 --> 00:21:48,286
overdue bills from customers.
365
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:51,321
A golden era.
366
00:21:51,457 --> 00:21:55,587
Friendship, mercy,
kindness, love.
367
00:22:09,308 --> 00:22:12,903
Your Honor, I seem to detect
some resistance to innovation.
368
00:22:13,045 --> 00:22:15,912
Yeah.
369
00:22:16,048 --> 00:22:17,879
Well, now,
370
00:22:18,017 --> 00:22:20,076
since obviously
you all wish to return
371
00:22:20,219 --> 00:22:22,084
to the rather, uh, inefficient
372
00:22:22,221 --> 00:22:24,212
and archaic system
we've been using,
373
00:22:24,356 --> 00:22:27,416
the court, uh,
reluctantly in this instance,
374
00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:29,322
must follow the dictates of law,
375
00:22:29,461 --> 00:22:33,693
rather than personal dislike,
fear or desire.
376
00:22:33,832 --> 00:22:35,595
Noting that the testimony
377
00:22:35,734 --> 00:22:38,601
offered by the prosecution
has been conflicting
378
00:22:38,737 --> 00:22:41,672
and without corroboration,
the court rules
379
00:22:41,807 --> 00:22:44,640
that no prima facie case
has been proven,
380
00:22:44,777 --> 00:22:47,541
and directs the sheriff
to release the defendant.
381
00:23:04,763 --> 00:23:06,731
There is a condition.
382
00:23:06,865 --> 00:23:09,231
Defendant is herewith enjoined
383
00:23:09,368 --> 00:23:11,768
from using firearms
in this township,
384
00:23:11,904 --> 00:23:13,565
and Mr. Paladin
385
00:23:13,706 --> 00:23:18,405
appointed agent of the court
in enforcing that order.
386
00:23:18,544 --> 00:23:21,479
Court is adjourned.
387
00:23:23,982 --> 00:23:26,849
Fairly?
388
00:23:26,985 --> 00:23:29,954
Legally?
389
00:23:40,899 --> 00:23:43,493
I'd, uh, hate for you to think
390
00:23:43,635 --> 00:23:48,004
I'm not the appreciative sort,
but the, uh,
391
00:23:48,140 --> 00:23:50,472
old man did kind of
put you in my way.
392
00:24:08,527 --> 00:24:12,122
I'm, uh, sorry
I put you in that position,
393
00:24:12,264 --> 00:24:14,824
but, uh,
a court must be practical,
394
00:24:14,967 --> 00:24:17,697
as well as legal.
395
00:24:17,836 --> 00:24:20,270
I suppose I understand,
Your Honor.
396
00:24:22,274 --> 00:24:26,301
Now, on the contempt charge
against the prosecutor,
397
00:24:26,445 --> 00:24:30,313
I'd appreciate it if
you'd fine him exactly $1,000.
398
00:24:30,449 --> 00:24:33,941
Are you charging us
for killing Beech?
399
00:24:34,086 --> 00:24:37,351
No, sir.
400
00:24:37,489 --> 00:24:39,616
For defending him.
401
00:24:54,807 --> 00:25:01,872
"Have gun will travel,"
reads the card of a man
402
00:25:02,014 --> 00:25:08,715
A knight without armor
in a savage land
403
00:25:08,854 --> 00:25:15,851
His fast gun for hire
heeds the calling wind
404
00:25:15,994 --> 00:25:23,264
Paladin, Paladin,
where do you roam?
