All language subtitles for S04E38 Soledad Crossing

Oh?

Ah, mon cheri,

are you positive it was not
Le Havre two years ago?

No, uh, not Le Havre.

Yet I remember you so well.

Calais?

Chartres?

Ah, cheri, your kiss.

How could I forget?

Paris. The Four Seasons?

Four years ago.

"Il faut bonne m�moire
apr�s qu'on a menti."

B�te!

What happened, Mr. Paladin?

Well, Hey Girl, I seem to
have chosen the wrong moment

to quote epigrams.

Maybe you picked
the wrong epigram.

What did you quote?

"A good liar should
have a good memory."

La Rochefoucauld?

Paladin.

"Soledad, Oregon Territory.

"Climaxing a drunken orgy,
the McPhater twins last night

"brutally murdered
two sheriff's deputies

"who tried to quiet them,

"and wounded four bystanders

"before fleeing
into the wastelands

"east of the town.

"An aroused citizenry
has posted $2,000 reward

for the killers."

Hmm.

McPhater?

Drop the gun belt, stand up

and walk away from it.

Wake him up.

My brother's already dead.

Get that blanket off him.

Not a mark on him.

Ever since we were
big enough to run,

people never let my
brother and me stop running.

But they didn't catch him.

He fooled you all.

He died a natural death.

Railroad town a
few miles from here.

Take your brother's
body that far,

and you and I'll go
on in to Soledad.

? ?

Hold it right there!

What's the matter with you?

Your name Paladin?

That's right.

We got your telegram,
but you can't cross the river.

What's wrong?

There's been some
deaths up the river.

Maybe diphtheria.

The doctor's on his
way up there now.

Left orders, until
we hear from him,

nobody crosses into Soledad.

How long do we have to wait?

We're short of supplies.

We won't let you starve.

Paladin?

He's checking on
McPhater's brother, too.

All right, this is fine.

Camp here.

You better behave yourself.

"They have sown the wind,

and they shall
reap the whirlwind."

The Lord moves
in mysterious ways.

I've waited for a sign,
and now I have one.

You'll never deliver
me to Soledad.

We'll get there.

Well, tarnation.

Looks like the bridge is out.

Look, Daddy...
Those men over there.

Why don't we ask
them how to cross over?

Whoa.

You wait here, Jody, honey.

Which one is the...?

Why don't we make him guess?

My name is Paladin.

Well, when we seen
you fellers camped here,

we figured maybe
you could tell us

where we could ford the river.

Well, they're not letting
anybody go across the river

right now, till they
find out whether or not

there's been
diphtheria on this side.

Why don't you make yourself
comfortable as you can and wait?

Say, he's not...?

Yes, he is, my friend.

He won't bother you.

Much obliged.

What'd they say?

We're gonna have to
stay here for a while.

Well, how come?

You said Soledad was
just across the river.

Well, it is, but, uh... they
ain't letting nobody cross.

Not just now.

You're so easy to
talk to, Mr. Paladin.

I guess I just told you my
whole life story, that's all.

But anyway, I... I thought
our destiny was elsewhere.

Daddy didn't want
to leave the farm.

Mostly because
Mama's buried there.

And now you're on your
way to San Francisco

to seek your fortune.

Well, I don't know about
my fortune, Mr. Paladin,

but, oh, I...

I'd sure like to wear
pretty clothes and...

and enjoy living, for a change.

Jody, those are
laudable ambitions,

but they are a
little bit general.

You have any more specific idea

of how you're going to
get along in San Francisco?

No.

But I'll get by.

I'm sure you will.

Bible in the hands
of a man like that's

a sacrilege.

What's he trying to do, make
a mockery out of religion?

I'm reading of the terrible fate

that awaits you, mister.

The fate that awaits me?!

You're the one that
better be worrying, mister.

My fate's going to be
played out right here.

Isn't it, gunfighter?

Your fate is going to
be played out in Soledad.

All protestations to the
contrary not withstanding.

Well, I say it's a
sin and a crime...

A man like that
flaunting the Bible.

I've got a good
mind to just take it...

Old man,

you just stay right
where you are.

Here you are, mister.

You want it?

Take it.

I got it memorized, anyway.

And you're in it.

Tell me more about San
Francisco, Mr. Paladin.

All right, Jody.

Where shall I begin?

Anywhere.

Nobody crosses today, mister.

You can't stop me.

I'm on official
business in Soledad.

Somewhere back along that trail,

one of us, or all of us, may
have been exposed to diphtheria.

Till we get medical
clearance, we stay here.

Whoa, there. Whoa.

May as well hunker
down with the rest of us.

Chained.

He's brought me revenge.

In irons, he's led the lambs
to me for the slaughter.

It is the Lord's will.

What's he prattling about now?

Are you gonna tell him,
or do you want me to?

This man's brother
died of a fever.

You mean, he was exposed?

Well, we don't know
that it was diphtheria.

But if it was, that
means he's got it, too.

I seen a man die
with diphtheria once.

Stop it, Strickland.

He's right.

I remember once in Wichita,

they were carrying the
bodies out in wagons.

Stacked up like
cordwood, they were.

And I've seen fear turn
men into blind cattle,

and they stampeded
into killing themselves,

and nothing was
threatening them.

Now, McPhater,
you want this key?

You want it?

All right, now you
come and get it.

Come on!

Whatever I got you're
gonna stay chained to.

Forever.

McPHATER: The Lord's
tainted that water, stranger.

Gaunt, that water's
pure, and you know it.

I know.

Well, it's just that I...

That's a hangman's rope.

That's right.

Phineas Gaunt,

tinker...

wheelwright...

shoemaker, barber,
taster of wine...

and executioner.

There's someone
to hang in Soledad.

Well, if there are
indispensable people

in any situation...

they're the victim and the
executioner at a hanging.

Gaunt, they'll wait in Soledad.

I know.

I'm in no hurry.

I don't much like
hanging people.

Well, you're quite a pair...

A gunfighter chained
to his prisoner

and a hangman afraid of
his own stock-in-trade, death.

And a killer... a murderer

who's bound to die in any case.

How'd you get to
be what you are?

By not being much good
at anything else, I guess.

All my other trades
combined don't make

much more than a living.

Just like any of
you, I do it for money.

Paladin, I don't
think it'd be too hard

to get past them
fellas over there,

if we all scattered
out at the same time.

Mr. Strickland,

I've considered a
number of possibilities,

and there's just one
thing that's kept me

from trying any of them.

What's that?

Well, one of us, or all of us,

may have been
exposed to diphtheria.

Soledad's a town
full of people, children,

and their lives
might be endangered

by our entering that town.

When the time is right...

Hangman... you
look poorly, hangman.

You don't talk much.

Now, that's a sign of the fever.

Well, it's a cinch you're
not very sick, then.

Maybe not,
gunfighter, but he is.

Is he really, Mr. Paladin?

Jody...

I don't know.

Morning, Mr. Strickland.

Morning. Coffee?

Much obliged.

You know, Paladin,
there's only one among us

that's been exposed
to a sick person.

Now, why let him
endanger all the rest of us?

You can get away, too.

How about this?

Well, I'll cut that
off afterwards.

No, he's not for sale.

Well, if not for my
life, for my daughter's.

How about your own?

He's not for sale at any price.

You run off at
the mouth, mister.

Now, that's the
first sign of the fever.

McPhater, they're just
going to believe so much.

You told Phineas
Gaunt he had the fever

because he talked too little.

Now you tell Strickland
he has the fever

because he talks too much?

Why didn't you let him take me?

Well, you might find the answer
somewhere in that book of yours.

Miss?

I'm thirsty.

Would you bring me a drink?

Aah, aah, you...!

You ornery cuss,

turn her loose or I'll...!

Now, you brave man,

I'm gonna give you two
free hands and a gun.

Gaunt, break out that
hammer and chisel.

Get up!

When you're choking
to death on the fever,

you can give the kiss back.

All right, take 'em off.

Ready? Mm-hmm.

Well, I told you I
wasn't much of a tinker.

You weren't lying.
Here, let me do it.

Here, let me do it.

Here's that food I promised.

Now, get up.

Give him your gun, Gaunt.

What? Give it to him.

All right, brave man.

I told you you'd never
get me to Soledad.

Mr. Gaunt?

Mr. Gaunt, it's
there in all of us...

The will to live...

the will to die...

the will to kill.

If that's the sickness
that's troubling you...

you are not alone.

Good night, sir.

Hello!

Just got word by telegraph.

It wasn't diphtheria, after all.

You can cross the river now.

Jody, honey.

Hmm?

Did you hear what the man said?

It ain't the
diphtheria sickness.

It ain't diphtheria?

We can cross the river.

We can go now?

Right now.

Oh, Daddy, I'm so glad.

? ?

Fear is a strange
thing, Mr. Paladin.

It can drive some men
to their own hanging

and others into hanging on

to what little life
they have left.

"With the blaze of
dawn comes reason,

"and the fears of
the night are gone,

"and we will remember them not,

"and in retrospect will
remember only that...

"we were strangers
in a strange land

and other strangers
gave us food."

McPhater.

? "Have gun will travel,"
reads the card of a man ?

? A knight without
armor in a savage land ?

? His fast gun for hire
heeds the calling wind ?

? A soldier of fortune ?

? Is the man called Paladin ?

? Paladin, Paladin ?

? Where do you roam? ?

? Paladin, Paladin ?

? Far, far from home. ?
