Maybe somebody else is to play. strums guitar and im to dance. horse neighing say, whats this all about . Now theres been some mistake, sir. My name is broderick, clyde broderick. For the sharps rifle company. Im the territorial representative, salesman, drummer, if you will. I never carry a weapon. I never fired one. Now, when your two gentlemen there accosted me on the road. Shes dead. Whos dead . Shock tactics, clyde. Youre supposed to give yourself away when mr. Strome says those words. What would he give away about himself . Well, now mr. Strome, if i knew that, id be your man, wouldnt i . But your question. What would he give away about himself . Let me see. Youre obviously looking for a man. You dont know who he is. Hes in this area, he rides a black horse. And you think hes responsible for the death of a woman, right . My wife. He was wearing a black shirt neither do i. One of you is lying. Well, maybe if youll tell us a little more, the two who arent lying could be of some help. Ill give you a start. I remember reading about your wedding. A little more than two years ago, wasnt it . She was a young girl. A member of an old spanish family in san antonio. Vasquez. I was punching cows up in san anton at the time of the wedding. It was a big do. You knew maria . You know better than that. The daughter of vasquez . She wouldnt spit on a 22 a month cowhand. Everybody in san antonio knew of the family, strome. Thats a prominent family. Why, i sold her father two custommade rifles. Et her. She was my wife. Mine. Like the land is mine. Like everything i own is mine. I know she was seeing a man. I left the house yesterday to check my outriders. I wasnt supposed to come home last night, but i changed my mind. There was a black horse back of the house when i rode in. Maria blew out the lamp a flash of him. A flash in the moonlight on his sleeve as he was getting out the window. It was a black sleeve. I fired just one shot. Id have got him, too, except maria stepped into the path. It was your bullet that killed your wife . Shes dead because of one of you. I mean to hang that man. He got away ririding west. Hed have had to pass through hangtown this morning. Its the only place he could havave gotten water. The people in the town remember only three men passing through who fit. Well, now, see here, itit couldnt be me. I was in hangtown last night. I stayed in a hotel. Theyll tell you. Was someone with you all night . Well, no. I went to bed early, and. Its a twohour ride to my place from hangtown. You could have slipped away and back, and no one the wiser. But i didnt where did you spend the night, paladin . Under the stars. I slept on my saddle. The same. Now, strome, if its all the same to you, ill be on my way, and id like my weapons returned. Wait a minute, ill ride a piece with you. guns cocking youre staying here. Manuel, fix a fire. But you cant make a move that we dont see. . . Except the two guards. Attack the guards . Well, we cant even see out there. If the fire gets much lower, they wont be able to see us, either. Theyre not going to let that fire die. clattering clyde. Stay where you are, gentlemen. My friend has a gun on you. Well, we got no place to go. Manuel. Yes . Dont alarm your friend, just call him down. Come down here. Its all right. Man figured out. Yeah . Who is it . manuel look here. Just drop the rifle. Drop it. All right, come on. Lets get out of here. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Well need horses. That means weve got to take strome id be watching all night. gun fires i promise ill kill the next man who fires. Throw down those guns. If we could just get to the darkness. Not a chance, clyde. Theyd cut us down before we took two steps. gun fires strome do you want it finished now, or do you want the four hours till breakfast . Hes gonna kill us anyway. Four hours is four hours. No odds, clyde. No odds at all. Now that youve blown off steam, maybe youd best get back to the business at hand. I never fired a gun before, but i wish now id taken at least one shot at you. Of the barrel. Like your wife came up in front of the barrel . He told us hisife moved in front of his bullet. She moved faster than his bullet . That aint very likely. Its possible if strome was heavy on the trigger, but we just saw him hold off on a snap shot. What else . Who got away rode off now, i think if he had any feeling for that girl, hed have looked back when you shot. Hed have ridden back to see if she was hurt. Are you saying that this girl is not dead . No, i think shes dead. But strome, how much time passed after that man got away . How much time before you shot your wife . Why dont you answer that, strome . How much time, strome . Maybe a half hour. Like that. Just like im going to hang one of you, or all of you in the morning. Well, you murdered her. What do you want from us . Shes dead because of one of you. Ill be waiting. Just call me. If you want to tell me anything. . . Why dont you stop that . What else is there to do . We got company. Anyone for gambling . Well, now theres no sense of all three of us being hung. And all one has to say to strome is, im it. Well, whos going to say that . Whoever gets the smallest rock. I dont want any part of it. Strome would have to let two of us s go. Those two could double back and try and save the one who had to stay. Yeah, but suppose he didnt let one of us go, or two of us go. And suppose they didnt get back in time. Thats two supposes your choice. Rocks are lined up this way. Ill take the one thats left. All right. You want to go first . No. Ill take this one on. On this end. Ill take the one on that end. You win. Thats not funny. Clyde, you have my word, as long as i live, you live. You want to call strome . You call him. Strome u have something to tell me . Yes. Im listening. Well, i, uh. You see. No no, im not the man. I didnt know your wife. I didntt have anything to do with your wife, and im not going to say i did well, clyde, you certainly are a disappointment. If thats the truth, clyde, you stick with it. There isnt much time left. Im not fooling ill fill those nooses strome, why dont you content yourself with one murder this week . Killing a woman, thats a big enough chore for you. And after all, you had plenty of justificatioion for killing her. After all she did to you. By the way, what did she do to you exactly . You tell us the man was there, he was just somebody she could talk to. What does a man talk to a woman about . All i wanted was his name. Thats all i asked her for. And you killed her when she wouldnt tell. Why didnt she tell if there was nothing between them but talk . Because you would have killed him you wouldnt believe it i dont believe it now. It does happen. Now, dont be telling strome about women. He knows about women. Here, ill play you a song to quiet your nerves and steady your hand for the mornings work. . There is a place that i do know . . Where my true love goes to drink her wine . . In her storebought clothes . . And she sits her down on some brave boys knee . . Now dont you know that vexes me . Roubled mind can know no rest . You try to ride me, you young. Young . Is that the rub, strome . Im young, shes young . So that puts us together, huh . Could have been, couldnt it . Young man, someone closer to her own age . It could be a dandy with a guitar. A drifter with easy words and no morals. It couldve been me she wanted to talk to. And why not . What would she want with a vicious old goat like you . Strome. It could have been an older man. Someone who knew the world. Someone who could paint word pictures for her of places shed never seen and never would see locked up in that big house of yours. Somebody had to tell her she was clever, she was pretty and wanted. He could draw strength from someone like her loving him. Hed take more than he could give, but he could make her feel needed because hed see her loneliness. Manuel Jackson Build up that fire. Get breakfast. Finish this finish this i lost my head. I think you saved my life. Yeah, for the moment. Three fools, thats what we are. Well, i find good comradeship comforting . . Hurry it up. Patience, strome. I wont keep you long from your pleasure. It will be a pleasure. You had it coming to you. Well, the man who killed maria should hang, theres no question about that, and we all know who did that. Thats enough stand up, all of you you can turn these two loose im youre man. . . You didnt think id let you hang, did you . I knew it. What were you to maria . Well, strome, its a little late to be worrying about that, isnt it . I thought you were so certain. Just the one rope. Save it. Im not the man one of you is. Now my life. Just dont wait too long. Come on, paladin. . . We dont have to stand here and watch this. Youll stay. Nobody leaves till its over. I will not stay here is there any special song i can send you off with, paladin . Anything you like, but dont wait too long guns fire i never shot one of these things before. Oh, youre doing fine. Keep it up. Cover me the best way you can. . . Hold it. No more. silence you see andy . No. Andy andy im back here in the clearing. Ive got strome. Come on. Cut him down. Move clyde, when this started, you were going someplace. You riding my way . This. I loved maria. She liked me, thats all. She needed a friend, somebody she could talk to. So once in a while wed get together and wed talk. But that was all. He killed her because she talked to another man. Ething he owned. Dont you see, i. I had to have time to make him pay for what he did to maria. But i swear, i wouldnt let you hang. . . But dont forget to tell what you were about to do here. . . I must have been a real good girl. You buy me a drink . I am cold, weary, hungry, and i got half the dust of texas on my back. Will you excuse me while i get something to eat . No offense. When you thaw out, the names annie.
