All language subtitles for S05E01 The Vigil

Start unpiling
those rocks, Deke.

And when you've
uncovered the dead man,

there'd better be an arrow
in his back... For your sake.

Well, how do you know...

- Ah. Come here. Come here.
- What are you doing?

Come on, come on.
Your kings are high.

- It happens.
- Ah, max, man.

Mm-hmm.

- Your bet.
- I'm still high over here.

Will you please tell that man
that I would like to speak to him?

Now?

Now.

While he is still
able to stand up.

No good whatever
to speak with him now.

Why not?

Just back from two
months of perilous jeopardy

without closing an eye.

Very tired now.

So tired he can't even sleep.

Yes, but not too tired
to debauch himself.

He unwinds best in
front of evil companions.

If he is not too tired to indulge
simultaneously in four amusements,

any one of which is enough to
ravage the health of an ordinary man,

then he is not too
tired to speak to me.

Now you call him.

He will not do what you want.

It takes money to live
the way that one does.

He'll talk to me.

I see you are wealthy perhaps.

Only in bread cast
upon the water...

and that sometimes
comes back soggy.

Interesting. You do good
deeds without long face.

I think perhaps he
will speak to you.

Thank you.

The pair of kings bets $250.

Mr. Paladin, this is for you.

Here.

Play my cards.

And don't cheat her.

A young and very innocent child.

All right, honey, it's your bet.

You're very free
with your money.

So are you.

Well, I work hard for it.

You seem to work
even harder to spend it.

Which makes me a very busy man.

Now, if I have completely
satisfied your curiosity...

My name is Adella Ligget.

I've seen it tacked in
my brother's study...

A reminder of Satan's
physical presence among us.

My brother is a
minister of the gospel.

I am a nurse.

Well, there are some men who consider
that an immoral occupation for a woman.

My brother is among them.

Why come to me?

Well, I thought perhaps...

Satan wouldn't shrink from
the thought of a female nurse.

Where do you want
Satan to take you?

"Goldfield, Nevada, Mourns Passing
of Only Doctor Within 100 Miles."

Are you offering your services?

As long as they need me.

Well, has your
offer been accepted?

Listen.

"Doctor desperately needed.

"Mine accident with 30 injured.

"Some may be dying.

Find us a doctor, not a nurse."

Why?

Why press your services on
people who don't want them?

Wait.

I spent four years
preparing myself,

and now I find that
I am not wanted.

I feel like a woman
who had carried a child

and now was not permitted
to bring it into the world.

Some of us are denied the
joy and privilege of motherhood.

But a woman still
needs to comfort,

to care, to protect...

in short, to be a nurse.

All right, Adella.

You give me one day
to catch up on my sleep,

and I'll take you
anyplace you want to go.

A whole town full of pain,

men dying without a doctor.

You will take me now,

or I'll go alone.

We'll camp here.

Are you tired already?

Well, we've covered 60 miles.

Don't you think the horses
have had enough for one day?

Well, it's only another two
or three hours' ride, isn't it?

"Distrust yourself.
Sleep before you fight.

'Tis not too late
tomorrow to be brave."

The world could come to an end,
but a man has to have his sleep.

To a tried man, the world
does come to an end each night.

If the good Lord had entrusted
men with the task of childbirth,

this planet of ours would
be as empty as the moon.

Miss Adella, I am aware that a young
woman of your high moral standards

would much prefer to spend the
night with a man on horseback.

I can only assure you that were you
to rouse the bestial side of my nature,

I am much too tired to
do anything at all about it.

Well! I...

We got neighbors.

Oh. Well, we'll go and see them.

What for? They have the same
right to be here that we have.

Oh, it isn't their rights I'm
interested in. It's their health.

Suppose there's someone among
them who needs aid and comfort?

Oh...

We will go and see them.

Come on.

Ma'am.

It's always hot work to plant
one of your fellow men, ain't it?

Whew. Feel like the jaws of
hell couldn't wait to close over.

Good pair of shoes.

Ain't much use
to the worms, is it?

Well, don't stand there with
your finger in your mouth, boy.

Fetch the lady some water.

Good, fresh snow water.

Pure as the Lord made it.

I'm sorry we can't offer you
anything more substantial, but...

that's all we've had in our own
bellies for goin' on three days now.

Well, we'll be glad to
share some of our supplies.

Won't we, Mister Paladin?

God love you, sister.

They're in the saddlebag.

Who was that?

That was Lucifer...

Lucifer Blake.

He's a partner of ours.

Yeah, he got drilled by an Injun
arrow right betwixt the shoulder blades.

I never saw a man
look so surprised.

This Lucifer's coat?

Yeah.

It happened at high noon.

He, uh... He weren't
wearin' no jacket.

Can't you wait to
hold your inquest

until after these people
have had something to eat?

Oh.

Now it ain't no call to
trouble about us, ma'am.

If you just leave us a
few scraps of bacon rind

and a handful of flour,

Reamer and me, we...
We don't take very much.

Lucifer got killed at noon.

And you're just burying him now.

How come?

Well, now, it, uh...
It took quite a spell

for all the life juice
to trickle out of him,

and we didn't feel it'd be very
Christian of us to prod him along.

And seeing as we had nothing to
dig with except my own dirty fingernails

and Reamer's little
old busted knife...

and it took us another while
to assemble these here rocks.

You ain't a lawman, are you?

No.

Why?

Oh, I mean it's... It's
just too bad you ain't,

account of I could give
you all his papers and all.

You take 'em with you and
make it all kind of official-like...

Not that he had any kinfolk
that I know of, poor soul.

Well, there's a town
about fifty miles on ahead.

I'll make a report
there on the grave,

and they can send
somebody after you.

Send somebody back after us?

Whatever for?

I mean, uh...

we ain't done nothing
wrong, have we,

outside our own Christian duty

of covering up
our brother's blood

so it won't cry out
from the ground?

Well, you tell them your story.
They'll decide what action to take.

Uh, Mister,

are you accusin' us
of what I think you are?

If your conscience is clear,
you tell them your story.

Save yourself
fifty miles on foot.

Hey, Mister, what gives you
the right to stand judgment on us?

Now look, son, it is of
no private interest to me

whether or not that man
has an arrow in his back.

But I do have some
responsibility as a citizen.

Anybody accuses me of
murdering my best friend

is gonna have to be a man
enough to stand up and answer for it.

For a bereaved man,

you're mighty
anxious to start a fight.

Oh, Paladin, can't
you see that the boy

is nearly out of his
mind with hunger?

No, ma'am, and I
thank you kindly,

but I'm old enough to know
a challenge when I see one.

Now, boy, why don't you
just accept the man's apology

and let it go at that?

I wasn't about to offer one.

Ah.

Well, now, that, uh...

That do look kind
of serious, don't it?

In Heaven's name, Paladin, have
you no regard for their feelings?

If I have wronged
you, I apologize.

If I have not,

I hope they hang you.

Are you coming?

Mister, maybe that
isn't good enough.

No!

Oh, now stand there.

Is that your idea of "those
who live by the sword"...

An unarmed boy?

Well, he was not
exactly unarmed.

Besides, I assume that any
man who attacks me from the rear

is trying to kill me.

Now, ma'am,

you can hardly
blame him for that.

I reckon a suspicious
soul who's always

thinking evil thoughts
about his fellow man,

why, he'd just better
be handy with an iron

out of sheer self-preservation.

I remember a grave I saw
back in Arkansas once...

Had a lovely motto carved on it in
some foreign tongue, which translated as,

"Evil to him what evil thinks."

It's all right. All right.

You know, I reckon
that that's the kindest

he's been treated
since the day his ma

pushed him out of the nest with
just barely enough meat on his bones

so as he could sit up.

He, uh... He turned into a
mighty handsome lad, though,

all things
considered, didn't he?

You still got that arrow?

Arrow!

Blame if you don't sound
like one of them law-fakers...

Always carryin' on about
bits and pieces and doodads

that plain folks wouldn't
give a second thought to.

No, sir!

We left the arrow
buried right in his back.

To tell the truth, I was
a-scared to pull it out,

'case it might cause a leak

and all that blood come
gushing out at once.

I'm glad you're
not a better shot.

At least the bone isn't broken.

I hit him where I intended to.

Yes, sir, you sure are
quick with an iron, ain't ya?

Yes, sir.

I reckon a boy with a
little old busted knife,

he don't stand much of a
chance against you, do he?

You feel safer now?

Is it really impossible for
a man to feel like a man

without a... a
weapon in his hand?

Now, ma'am, don't go runnin'
down a man's skill with an iron.

He's liable to get so nervous
he'll shoot his own foot off next.

Don't count on it.

I don't count on nothing
except my fingers...

unless I has to count to 20.

Then I take my shoes off.

It's gonna be dark soon.

I reckon I'll turn in myself.

You know, maybe we shouldn't
have piled on all these heavy rocks.

The way your gentlemen
protector is a-twitching and a-turning,

we might have to make room for
another body before the morning.

You be sure to wake me up now
when all the shooting commences.

I sure do want to be helpful
when them inquest fellers come...

sniffing around.

Ma'am...

if you want to be rid of him,

Deke and me,

we'd be proud to take you
anywhere you want to go.

No.

Thank you, but no.

I suppose he can't help being

what a life of violence
has made him.

I haven't felt so comforted

since I busted my
leg falling off a chair.

- I was with my ma then.
- Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Deke come along.

He said she was evil.

But you know, I dream about her,

and I see the face of an angel.

And it's your face that I see,

always your face.

Now what you got in mind?

I'd still like to
see that arrow.

Let me get you
straight now, neighbor.

You want to be dead sure it
was the Injuns killed our partner

and maybe not his
own friends, is that it?

That's right.

Well, I guess if it
will ease your mind...

you got the stomach for
disturbing a man's eternal rest,

I don't mind accommodating you.

It must be a terrible thing not to
be able to trust anybody or anything.

Yes, ma'am, that's
a true thing you said.

What? What's the matter? What?

I am burning up.

There's a snowbank
right over these rocks.

I'll get you some.

Here you go.

Oh, you are an angel.

Now, mister, just
what would you do...

if there weren't no
arrow where I said it was?

Are you admitting
that you killed him?

Now I'm just saying "supposing."

I mean, being as you're such a
jumpy, hotheaded kind of feller and all.

You're liable to
leap to conclusions,

and, filled with
righteous wrath,

raise up your hand
to slay the innocent.

Now take the rest
of the rocks off there.

Deke!

Leave it!

Now get away.

You treat a man like an
animal, he's going to act like one.

All that work,

and you still don't know
whether we killed him or not.

Maybe you're never gonna know.

Take it easy. He's only funnin'.

Deke, he wouldn't kill nobody.
He wouldn't hurt nobody.

All we want is your horses,

so we can get out
of this wilderness

before them deputy
sheriffs come up here

and all them
small-minded town people

with small ideas
about what happened.

And they're gonna bring a rope.

That's the truth, sister.

Our only concern is to keep
justice from miscarrying...

right around our necks.

Get the horses, boy.

I guess maybe his
boots would fit you, huh?

What about her?

Now, boy...

you know we ain't
got time for that.

Mighty handsome woman,
but she ain't worth hanging for.

Will you send somebody
back for us with horses?

I wouldn't worry about that,

'cause you ain't going nowhere.

No! You can't!

Please.

Please.

Please don't let him take me.

Please.

Please.

All right. Which way?

You think I should
turn back, don't you?

Stop imposing my help
where it isn't wanted.

Goldfield still
without a doctor?

Mm-hmm.

tomorrow to be brave."
