[00:01:25]Take it easy.

[00:01:26]Come on out and talk it over peaceful.

[00:01:29]I'll see you get a square deal.

[00:01:32]The skunks don't want no square deal.

[00:01:34]They're trying to steal our rain.

[00:01:36]SKUNKS ARE WE?

[00:01:43]GOODBYE, PEACEFUL.

[00:01:45]WHAT DO YOU CALL HIM?

[00:01:47]Peaceful Patton. His mother raised him not to fight.

[00:02:13]Fighting's bad enough on weekdays.

[00:02:15]On Sunday I I ought to wring your neck.

[00:02:51]Hello, mother.

[00:02:54]William.

[00:02:59]Gee, you look first rate. How you been?

[00:03:02]William, what brings you home?

[00:03:05]You wrote me you had a good job and that everything was going well.

[00:03:09]Yeah, I know.

[00:03:13]I wouldn't have taken that job if I'd known I was a cattle wanting to make them.

[00:03:17]When the boys started fighting, I had to quit. William, I'm proud of you for living up to my teachings.

[00:03:25]And now, you're just in time to take me to church.

[00:03:29]That is unless you'd rather rent after your trip.

[00:03:33]No, mother.

[00:03:35]You know there's nothing I got to do but go to church with you.

[00:03:45]There you are, son.

[00:03:47]Hey.

[00:03:48]You all ready?

[00:03:49]All ready.

[00:03:52]Gee, you look sweet.

[00:04:20]Sheriff, here comes a hard hombre that robbed me and broke my nose to boot.

[00:04:28]Why, that ain't the hard hombre.

[00:04:30]That's Peaceful Patton, the studyest young man in these parts. That's the hard hombre or I'm a cross-eyed liar.

[00:04:37]Morning, Mr. Patton. Morning, Sheriff.

[00:04:39]Howdy, Peaceful. Howdy, Sheriff.

[00:04:42]Say, by the way, do you know of a good job for a reliable young man?

[00:04:48]I do know of a ranch foreman's job out in Socorro County if you don't mind working for a woman. What sort of a woman?

[00:04:56]A Spanish widow, ma'am.

[00:04:58]Comes from a very fine family. William, it isn't every day that you can get a chance to work for a nice, respectable widow.

[00:05:06]That's right, mother.

[00:05:07]Her name's Senora Martini.

[00:05:10]Head over the Senora County and ask your way into the old Martini Rancho.

[00:05:16]Thanks, Sheriff.

[00:05:23]Still think he's the hard hombre?

[00:05:25]Nope.

[00:05:26]But it was the old lady that convinced me.

[00:05:28]That boy of mine looks as much like a hard hombre one rattlesnake looks like another.

[00:05:35]Now you get the job with the widow woman, then I won't have to worry about you. I know you're safe and out of danger.

[00:05:42]All right. I better start right away.

[00:05:45]>> [music] >> You'll do no tallying on Sunday. Oh, of course not, mother.

[00:05:49]I guess the old lady Martini's will be just as glad to see me on Monday.

[00:05:54]>> [music] >> Como estas, Senora?

[00:06:17]Muy bien, gracias, Senor. Como esta usted?

[00:06:21]May I come in? Por supuesto.

[00:06:39]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Gee, that's the prettiest music I ever heard.

[00:07:59]What do you want?

[00:08:00]Good afternoon.

[00:08:02]I came after that ranch foreman's job.

[00:08:06]Oh.

[00:08:08]Wait in the other room.

[00:08:10]I'll see you in a moment.

[00:08:12]Yes, ma'am.

[00:08:29]What can I do for you? I have never heard of such a thing. What's the matter?

[00:08:33]A man walks into my house, makes himself perfectly at home, just because he hears that I need a ranch foreman. He is very enterprising. Enterprising, huh.

[00:08:45]I'll give him an opportunity to prove it.

[00:08:48]I'll send him over to Barlow to get back the cattle they stole from me. Senora, you wouldn't send that man alone over there. He will be killed. No.

[00:08:57]No, no, please.

[00:08:59]Please.

[00:09:02]Senor, you you wish to work here?

[00:09:06]I certainly would like to.

[00:09:09]Very well. You can have the job and name your own salary if you can carry out orders. I suppose that's all right with your mother.

[00:09:21]My mother?

[00:09:24]I am the Senora Martini.

[00:09:27]This is my neighbor, the Senora Romero.

[00:09:32]Oh.

[00:09:34]I'm William Penn Patton.

[00:09:36]Uh could I have my orders, Senora?

[00:09:39]Go to the Dick C Barlow It's directly north and get back 50 head of my cattle from Joe Barlow.

[00:09:54]Of course, if you can't get back my cattle when they You are not the man for the job.

[00:10:00]That's right.

[00:10:02]And if I do get them back, I am.

[00:10:06]Have you a gun?

[00:10:07]Oh, no. And if I did have, I wouldn't use it.

[00:10:10]I draw the line at fighting.

[00:10:12]I'll try and get them back peaceful.

[00:10:16]All right.

[00:10:17]Adios, senor.

[00:10:24]You shouldn't have >> What's wrong with that? He's getting into trouble.

[00:10:28]Oh, he annoyed me.

[00:10:41]What are you doing on this range, stranger?

[00:10:43]I'm looking for 30 head of Martinez' cattle. You better follow that road to the ranch house and talk to Mr. Joe Barlow.

[00:10:49]You don't tolerate any sightseers on this range.

[00:10:53]All right, partner.

[00:11:30]Howdy, partner. Who are you? I'm Joe Barlow's boy, and I can whip my weight in wildcats. Haha, well, that's great.

[00:11:39]Is your dad home? Yeah. He can whip his weight in grizzlies. Well, you want to ride? Can I ride on the range? Sure.

[00:11:53]There you go. Take that home.

[00:12:05]The Martinez man coming to see you, Joe.

[00:12:07]I sent him around the long way of the road.

[00:12:11]So, he wants the senora's 30 head of ace. Yeah.

[00:12:30]Here he comes.

[00:12:38]Hold it.

[00:12:45]Howdy.

[00:12:48]Is uh Mr. Joe Barlow here?

[00:12:54]I'm from the senora Martinez.

[00:12:57]I want 30 head of her cattle.

[00:12:59]They got mixed into a shipment I sent last week.

[00:13:03]Come on down, sonny. I don't want to get down.

[00:13:09]I'm obliged to ask you to pay for those cattle if you haven't got them, Mr. Barlow.

[00:13:15]Well, under the under the circumstances, I can't refuse.

[00:13:31]Satisfactory?

[00:13:34]Quite generous, aren't you?

[00:13:37]Enjoy your ride, partner.

[00:13:49]The nerve of it.

[00:13:51]Why, who is he? The hard hombre.

[00:13:55]I wonder if you scared him a little, Joey.

[00:13:59]Uh he couldn't whip his weight in tadpoles.

[00:14:14]Senor passed me. He said he'd come back to the Barlow ranch make report to you.

[00:14:20]Did he bring my cattle back with him? I don't see any cattle, no, senor.

[00:14:25]I doubt very much whether he went near Barlow.

[00:14:28]Show him in.

[00:14:36]Well, how about my stock?

[00:14:39]Why, Mr. Barlow says he shipped your cattle to market, but >> That's enough.

[00:14:42]I told you you must bring my cattle back here if you wanted the job on this ranch.

[00:14:47]Good night.

[00:14:50]Good night, senora.

[00:14:53]Uh by the way, I suppose I should keep the money.

[00:14:57]What money? Your money.

[00:15:00]Long as I couldn't get the cattle, I let him pay for them.

[00:15:04]That doesn't sound very much like Barlow.

[00:15:07]Oh, he has a reputation, huh? What did you do to him?

[00:15:10]Nothing.

[00:15:12]But how did you get this money? I took it.

[00:15:19]Why did you say that?

[00:15:27]No, thanks.

[00:15:28]Don't you smoke? My mother doesn't approve.

[00:15:32]Oh, I see.

[00:15:34]Would your mother very much object if you had a little glass of wine? Oh, I'm sure she would.

[00:15:41]What an unusual man.

[00:15:43]Oh, come now.

[00:15:44]Tell me, how did you get this money away from Barlow?

[00:15:48]I told you.

[00:15:50]Oh, no.

[00:15:52]You held him up and took it away from him, didn't you?

[00:15:55]He seemed right glad when I gave him a chance to pay for them.

[00:15:59]Very well, senor.

[00:16:00]Good night.

[00:16:04]Don't forget, I take charge of your ranch in the morning, you know.

[00:16:08]I keep my agreement.

[00:16:10]Just a minute.

[00:16:12]Why didn't you walk out with this money when I wouldn't listen to you?

[00:16:17]Why should I?

[00:16:45]Say, boss, that there hard hombre has gone to work for that Martinez outfit.

[00:16:49]Uh don't I know it.

[00:16:51]Is it worth a month's pay if I get rid of him?

[00:16:53]Two months' pay.

[00:16:55]Okay. Ain't he bloodthirsty, though?

[00:16:58]Yeah, it's too bad he's got to go in his prime like that. I'll tell the coroner it was suicide. Shut up, you running gun. Get out of the way and give me a chance to make my play.

[00:17:07]Hard hombre is riding this way now.

[00:17:40]Got it.

[00:18:05]Come on, and I'll show you the remains.

[00:18:22]Well, I saw him I wouldn't have this horse with no eyes.

[00:18:27]You better quit drinking, then. I can't tell you you're bulletproof.

[00:18:31]If he ever finds out.

[00:18:32]>> Hey!

[00:18:36]One of you careless cowboys owes me a new hat.

[00:19:10]Has Mr. Jackson come in yet? Not yet.

[00:19:13]I'll tell him you're waiting for him.

[00:19:16]I'm not waiting for him.

[00:19:40]Yes, this, senora.

[00:19:43]Oh.

[00:19:44]Hello, William.

[00:19:50]Uh what is it, William?

[00:19:53]Uh, I'm getting worried about water for the cattle.

[00:19:56]You know, uh, the range is getting pretty dry.

[00:20:01]William, I rely on you to look after my cattle.

[00:20:05]You know, I trust you very much.

[00:20:14]Is there something else you'd like to tell me?

[00:20:22]Uh, no. Nothing I can think of.

[00:20:25]Very well. Good night.

[00:20:31]Night, señora.

[00:20:37]William.

[00:20:39]Bill's all right.

[00:20:41]William, come here.

[00:20:51]After this, you may not talk to me in the morning. As long as you have nothing to say that is worth listening to.

[00:20:59]Oh, dear. I'm I'm awfully sorry.

[00:21:02]This evening has meant so much to me.

[00:21:09]I never noticed that I ever meant anything to you at all.

[00:21:43]Any orders, señora?

[00:21:45]That will be all for this evening, William.

[00:21:48]Yes, ma'am.

[00:21:55]I think what's meant before in the evening.

[00:21:59]Well, I couldn't help it. You know.

[00:22:03]>> [laughter] >> Don't you know the boss here?

[00:22:05]Ah, but you forget the deal I made when he started to work here. I said I would pay him whatever he wants.

[00:22:13]Isabel.

[00:22:14]Oh, you you need a chaperone. You you no old-fashioned dreamer. A dreamer? Do you think William is a dreamer? Tell them.

[00:22:24]If you only knew.

[00:22:27]Don't worry about William.

[00:22:30]He's so safe he isn't even interested.

[00:22:34]Oh, he seemed to be a very enterprising young man when you hired him.

[00:22:40]I thought so, too.

[00:23:00]You ever seen this country so dry before, Juan?

[00:23:03]Si, señor. About 20 years ago.

[00:23:07]All the water was gone from the land.

[00:23:10]At first, the cattle bellowed day and night for water.

[00:23:16]Wherever I went, they watched me, asking for water with their eyes.

[00:23:20]So, one day, we shot and shot till I had no living cow or horse.

[00:23:27]Excuse me.

[00:23:30]Well, that's not going to happen to the señora's cattle.

[00:23:32]But, what can we do, señor?

[00:23:36]I got an idea. Come on back to the house with me.

[00:23:46]Oh, William, come here.

[00:23:48]Come here, Antonio. Pronto. Pronto.

[00:23:56]Antonio.

[00:23:57]Señora Isabel.

[00:23:58]Isabel.

[00:24:03]Isabel.

[00:24:04]Isabel.

[00:24:06]Is that my money here?

[00:24:07]You mean no? No, I mean the hard hombre.

[00:24:10]The hard hombre. Murderer. Renegade.

[00:24:13]That I've been trusting him. Don't understand. Listen. Listen for the description.

[00:24:19]Five foot 10. Blue eyes.

[00:24:23]Good-looking. Left-handed.

[00:24:26]Unpleasant personality.

[00:24:28]That sounds like William.

[00:24:30]Kinky William.

[00:24:32]He's left-handed.

[00:24:34]Oh, yes.

[00:24:35]If he's left-handed, you are not safe with him for one moment.

[00:24:41]One said for five murders, including that of his sweetheart, Maria Guadalupe.

[00:24:47]What? That can't be William. It cannot be anyone else. I remember how funny he acted when he come here for work with you the first time.

[00:24:57]Hey, he didn't go to town any payday and get drunk like any honest cowpuncher.

[00:25:04]Oh, no. He's afraid he would be recognized.

[00:25:09]And remember how he get the money from you, Pablo? Now, do you think a man like Pablo would keep the money a man like that if it was NOT THE HARD HOMBRE?

[00:25:18]HUH?

[00:25:19]Then maybe he's not what you say.

[00:25:22]Dear, is he even left-handed?

[00:25:24]I bet you he's left-handed.

[00:25:26]When I saw that, like a flash it come to me why he come to live here in your house. To work for you.

[00:25:33]Between then, I get me a nicer wedding widow wealthy woman, and I act gently with her, and one night one night, when she's all alone, I get into her room, I strangle her, and she cannot scream.

[00:25:54]Oh.

[00:25:55]Ah.

[00:25:56]>> [laughter] >> Oh, Juan, señora, I didn't know you had company.

[00:26:05]What's the matter?

[00:26:08]Nothing.

[00:26:09]Nothing.

[00:26:21]Oh.

[00:26:22]It's a matter of ranch business that I've got to talk over with you alone.

[00:26:26]Oh, no, William. Anything that you would have to say about the ranch here, Maria, she can hear it. Oh, no, I must be going. I must be going.

[00:26:34]I must No, no, you stay here, dear Maria. No, you you stay here.

[00:26:38]>> No, I must be going, dear. I'm sure. Oh, it's it's much better. It's too late for you to go to your ranch. You stay here with me. No, no, darling. I will not for the world make you stay here.

[00:26:48]I must be going. Wait.

[00:26:50]>> [clears throat] >> Soon as I'm finished with the señora, I'll take you home. Oh, no, señor. What, dear Maria? Just a minute.

[00:26:58]What I've got to talk over with you is very important, and we've got to settle it right away.

[00:27:03]It's all right, dear William. You you wait here just a minute. Please.

[00:27:19]Will you please come here? Let's go. I don't want anybody to know what I'm going to do.

[00:27:23]Oh.

[00:27:25]Shall we sit down? No, please. Just a minute.

[00:27:28]Who's that?

[00:27:29]Come in, darling. Dear Maria, she says I should give you a message right away.

[00:27:34]What did she She said she's going to rest town, and she will send the sheriff then.

[00:27:41]That's a funny message. Yes, very funny.

[00:27:43]Now, look, we're all alone. Oh, no, please. I want to get your permission to leave right away. What? Your permission to go away.

[00:27:50]Oh, yes. Yes, yes, of course. You would. You see, your cattle are going to die of thirst unless I can find a new range spot. Now, I know a valley down on the Green River. And you want to go right away, don't you? I want to be the first one in there so I can tie the range rights up for your stock. That's why I'm in a hurry. Yes, that's a very good reason.

[00:28:07]I have to get started.

[00:28:15]Now, don't you boys worry about the cattle.

[00:28:18]He'll be gone a little this afternoon to get range rights where there's water.

[00:28:22]I'll bet he's halfway to Green River already.

[00:28:30]Yes, señora.

[00:28:31]If the cattle stop now, they may live to reach the Green River.

[00:28:37]I've gone ahead and get range rights for them.

[00:28:39]I'm starting now. Do I go, too, now?

[00:28:42]Oh, no, Juan.

[00:28:44]You are the only man I can trust.

[00:28:46]Take charge. And not let the hard hombre go.

[00:28:49]You and the boys bring on the cattle tomorrow. Si, señora. Si, señora.

[00:28:53]Juan.

[00:29:17]I'm Juan, a man.

[00:29:19]Any place I can get breakfast around here?

[00:29:22]There's a settler's shack right over there.

[00:29:24]What's the matter with you, man? You getting high in the head?

[00:29:30]Thank you, stranger.

[00:29:34]Howdy, Brother Barlow.

[00:29:37]Howdy.

[00:29:44]You know that fellow? Yeah.

[00:29:47]That maverick you was trying to get on the prod is the hard hombre.

[00:29:51]Is that really the hard hombre?

[00:29:52]>> the hard hombre? Yeah, that's him, all right. Absolutely deadly to men and women alike.

[00:29:58]Gosh.

[00:30:00]They say that he's done a killing for every year of his life.

[00:30:06]Started in with his own daddy.

[00:30:22]Morning.

[00:30:23]I was counting on you getting invited to breakfast. I'm too busy to get any breakfast for a lazy cow puncher.

[00:30:29]I'll pay. Oh.

[00:30:32]Say, who do I see about buying the range rights up in this? Ain't no more range rights for sale around here. Them cattlemen bought up the whole valley already.

[00:30:47]Say, he is a right deceiving fellow.

[00:31:07]He is the meekest, mildest man that ever lived.

[00:31:11]Get him back.

[00:31:12]Here he comes now.

[00:31:20]I'm looking for some range rights.

[00:31:23]Seems like I'll have to make a deal with some of you gentlemen.

[00:31:26]You can have what I bought up.

[00:31:28]You can count me in. Me, too.

[00:31:30]Don't forget now I offered you mine first.

[00:31:32]Well, I'm sure surprised that you fellows are obliging.

[00:31:37]You can have half of mine.

[00:31:40]Now, now that wouldn't seem quite fair to you.

[00:31:45]Did you hear that?

[00:31:47]Don't seem fair to you?

[00:31:51]That's what he said. Just before he killed Bill Blake.

[00:31:58]Get set to dodge if he offers to toss a coin.

[00:32:01]He'll go for a coin, come up with the gun. That's how he got those two men down in Red Rock.

[00:32:06]Don't listen to him, partner. You take my range and don't forget who give it to you.

[00:32:12]I reckon there's only one way to decide who I'll do business with.

[00:32:17]I'll flip a coin.

[00:32:19]Hey, what's what's eating you, fellows?

[00:32:28]Heads I take Barlow's, tails I take the tall guy's.

[00:33:02]Yeah.

[00:33:03]What would you do with your cattle if he had taken your range?

[00:33:07]I'd rather lose my cattle than to lose my life, wouldn't they?

[00:33:11]He's bound to kill somebody unless he gets what he wants.

[00:33:15]Reckon you're right. It wouldn't be the hard hombre if he didn't kill someone.

[00:33:31]Hey, you. Listen to me.

[00:33:34]I looked this range over, decided on what I want.

[00:33:38]We'll talk business after I come back.

[00:33:40]Yes, sir. All right. All right, partner.

[00:33:42]Suit yourself.

[00:33:48]When does it close?

[00:34:06]He'll be back pretty soon. We'd better agree on some way to handle him.

[00:34:10]I'd give him a million dollars if I had his nerve.

[00:34:12]You had his nerve, you wouldn't need a million dollars. No, you can always find some poor suckers like that to rob.

[00:34:18]What say we shoot it out with him?

[00:34:20]You can if you want to, but me, I've got a family.

[00:34:24]Yeah, if you want him shot, why don't you do it yourself, Barlow?

[00:34:41]Fine day, gentlemen, eh?

[00:34:43]If you're looking for range, you're out of luck.

[00:34:47]It's all took.

[00:34:49]You mean I'm too late to save my cattle?

[00:34:52]That's the size of it. You might as well go home, senora.

[00:34:57]It ain't very safe up here anyway with a hard hombre around.

[00:35:02]Is he here?

[00:35:03]There he comes now.

[00:35:09]Howdy, senor.

[00:36:12]Don't let on who I am.

[00:36:14]But they already knew you were the hard hombre.

[00:36:20]Is she Go pick up the lady's horse.

[00:36:23]Ain't you got no eyes in your head?

[00:36:28]Yes, sir.

[00:36:45]Look. Look.

[00:36:48]Here comes the hard hombre now.

[00:36:50]Who's that a lady with him?

[00:37:00]Good evening, sir. I hope you're feeling well. Uh what can I do?

[00:37:05]I want to come in and sit down, sir, if that's all right.

[00:37:07]I'm working for this lady.

[00:37:09]I want accommodation for her. Why, of course, senor.

[00:37:13]Come right in, ma'am. The supper's just ready.

[00:37:17]Can I do anything else for you?

[00:37:19]Yeah.

[00:37:21]Seeing as you're so hospitable, I reckon you can cook supper for all of us. Why, we'd be delighted. Certainly, sir. Come right in.

[00:37:35]That's not what you wanted me to do. We have no room for you.

[00:37:37]Huh?

[00:37:38]What did you say? You must be mistaken.

[00:37:40]I don't understand just what you mean.

[00:37:43]Well, I'll tell you how it was. Me and my girl went for a ride one day.

[00:37:48]Started racing on a flat.

[00:37:51]The horse stumbled, threw her all over the prairie.

[00:37:55]When I got to her, she had a broken leg.

[00:37:57]What'd you do?

[00:37:58]The only thing I could do. Pulled out my gun and shot her. What, the horse?

[00:38:03]>> No, the girl.

[00:38:05]But, gee, that was murder.

[00:38:10]The only thing you can do with a critter with a broken leg.

[00:38:14]That's why I asked the way it about you when your horse bolted with you this afternoon.

[00:38:19]If he's calling, he should have been a public hangman. Yeah.

[00:38:24]Was it you wondering how I happened to get called a hard hombre?

[00:38:28]Who, me?

[00:38:30]I ain't curious about your affairs.

[00:38:34]You know, that's another funny story.

[00:38:36]Happened back in San Antone.

[00:38:39]My father started to give me a whipping once, and uh What what for?

[00:38:44]For killing a man on a horse.

[00:38:46]Well, I knocked the old man down and shot him twice before he hit the ground.

[00:38:53]My mother said it took a hard hombre to do a thing like that.

[00:38:58]Well, I once thought I was tough.

[00:39:04]Now, this is your side, and this is his.

[00:39:18]All right, senor.

[00:39:28]You going to bed yet?

[00:39:31]Why, no.

[00:39:33]Well, I got something I want to say to you.

[00:39:42]Well, we know.

[00:39:44]And a surprise you turned out to be.

[00:39:48]You believe all that stuff I was telling at supper?

[00:39:51]Yes, of course I I believe you. I wouldn't call you a liar.

[00:39:56]And to think that I walked you around so much and never knew who you were.

[00:40:04]Is that Is that the gun that you did so many killings with?

[00:40:10]Well, that's the only gun I have around.

[00:40:13]It doesn't look like it's been used very much.

[00:40:15]Uh let me see it. Sure.

[00:40:19]Now, you get out of here, you disgusting mess. You get out of our Pull it, trigger.

[00:40:26]Go ahead, pull it.

[00:40:30]Well, let me show you.

[00:40:31]You see, with this kind of a gun, you have to pull this hammer back first.

[00:40:36]Then you pull the trigger.

[00:40:38]But not now.

[00:40:43]You know, I had something I was going to tell you, Señora, but I've changed my mind.

[00:40:49]Good night.

[00:40:53]Pleasant dreams.

[00:41:07]What in this happens? Here's your mail.

[00:41:10]Morning, Sam. Thank you.

[00:41:12]Come along back after school and I'll give you a donut. Thanks.

[00:41:26]Morning, Sheriff. Oh, morning, Sheriff.

[00:41:28]Going on a trip? No, going up to Green River Valley. All the cattlemen up there are fighting for water. There's the making of the biggest range war this country ever saw.

[00:41:41]Green River Valley.

[00:41:54]Been here half an hour now.

[00:41:58]Hard Hombre, what does he want? Well, I don't know.

[00:42:02]That's why he wanted to see everybody, Paton.

[00:42:14]Listen, you all. We're going to settle that rain situation this afternoon, over at the schoolhouse.

[00:42:19]I'm ordering every one of you men that have any range rights in that valley to attend.

[00:42:24]And leave your gun outside.

[00:42:30]Any objections?

[00:42:45]That's all for now.

[00:42:47]Say, when did you fellows start taking orders from that stuffed shirt?

[00:42:52]That's Wild.

[00:42:54]That's the Hard Hombre.

[00:42:56]Hard Hombre nothing. That's Peaceful Paton. You're wrong. Peaceful Paton's just an alias he uses when he's hiding out.

[00:43:04]If you, Matal, give me enough range for my few cattle, I'll run him out of this valley for you.

[00:43:13]It's a deal. Right.

[00:43:26]Oh, you're the Hard Hombre.

[00:43:29]Hey.

[00:43:31]Yeah.

[00:43:33]I'm the Hard Hombre.

[00:43:35]You're a liar.

[00:43:37]And what are you going to do about it?

[00:43:40]Well, I guess I'll have to kill you.

[00:43:43]You better think it over, Peaceful Paton.

[00:43:47]I'll give you till noon to get out of here. If you don't dust out of here by then, I'll be looking for you. And I'll shoot on sight.

[00:44:00]He got away with it. That ain't the Hard Hombre. We've been buffaloed. Well, I ain't going to wait until this afternoon and let Abe get all the satisfaction.

[00:44:09]I'll get a rope.

[00:44:11]I was I was telling you that we will do.

[00:44:39]That's the man.

[00:45:04]I heard you was around this country.

[00:45:07]I ought to kill you, and I would if you was any use to me dead.

[00:45:12]So, what are you driving at? You know what I'm driving at.

[00:45:16]You may be a Hard Hombre, all right, but you're going to keep your promise and marry my little sister.

[00:45:24]And you better think twice before you say no.

[00:45:32]Oh, oh, I wasn't going to turn down the opportunity, partner.

[00:45:36]I was just going to suggest that we adjourn to some place and talk in private. That suits me.

[00:45:52]Did you see that?

[00:46:00]This is far enough.

[00:46:03]Now Now, wait a minute. It's against my principles to fight.

[00:46:07]You should have remembered your principles when you met my sister.

[00:46:13]Now Now, wait a minute. I'm I'm I'm I He is the Hard Hombre.

[00:47:18]All right, pull in his buggy.

[00:47:25]Get in and get out of this valley.

[00:47:27]Ever show around here again, I won't let you off so easy.

[00:47:31]You big brute.

[00:47:38]Come in the house.

[00:47:41]And be quick about it.

[00:47:49]Come on, boy. Come on.

[00:47:51]Keep this up and I'll stop drawing and kill you.

[00:48:14]That was a tough job.

[00:48:17]How did you do it?

[00:48:20]You're always trying to find out how I do things.

[00:48:35]Huh.

[00:48:38]Time to go and shoot it out with that guy.

[00:48:41]William.

[00:48:45]I don't want you to be killed.

[00:48:51]Hey.

[00:48:53]You're the first person I've met so far that didn't want to see the Hard Hombre killed. I'll remember that after the shooting.

[00:49:27]Oh, Bill.

[00:49:38]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha >> [laughter] [clears throat] [laughter] >> We'll all go over to the schoolhouse now, man.

[00:50:06]What I'm saying is Now, you carried two of them, huh?

[00:50:50]Well, I missed that.

[00:50:59]The first monthly meeting of the Green River Cattle Association will now come to order.

[00:51:05]I'm telling you, I'm not Do you hear me, Bylo?

[00:51:10]All right, Mr. Chairman.

[00:51:12]Now, here's the valley.

[00:51:16]Here's all the worthwhile sections it can be cut up into.

[00:51:24]There being no objections from the map committee, the next thing will be to divide it up amongst those interested.

[00:51:30]But, who gets what?

[00:51:34]Regarding that, I'm going to be guided by the golden rule.

[00:51:39]Ladies first.

[00:51:41]Señora Martinez, I must take your pick.

[00:51:50]But, I don't know which to pick.

[00:51:53]Me being the chairman, I can't advise you.

[00:51:56]But, I did notice the section that had the best bottom land.

[00:52:09]There's an agreement whereby you guarantee keep your stock on your own range.

[00:52:17]Sign here.

[00:52:22]Right there, please.

[00:52:43]You folks seen anything of William Penn Patton? Never heard of him. He might be down at the schoolhouse. The hard hombre's holding a meeting there. Thank you.

[00:53:01]Sign here, partner.

[00:53:12]We was the first ones here.

[00:53:14]We ought to got more.

[00:53:16]But, Bylo, it ain't my fault if you was unlucky on the draw.

[00:53:26]Are you looking for trouble with me?

[00:53:32]William Penn Patton, you come right home with me.

[00:53:37]Peaceful Patton.

[00:54:48]Come on, let's pick up the trail.

[00:55:01]There ain't no sign of him around here, Bylo. Nah, he's done disappeared.

[00:55:06]Let's go.

[00:55:28]Who you running from?

[00:55:30]Me running? Yes, you. Oh, it couldn't have been me. What was that solicitation you were for then? Oh, what?

[00:55:39]Yeah, we made a bet. I bet they couldn't find me.

[00:55:45]Get on your horse.

[00:55:47]Where you taking me? I'm taking you back to collect your bet.

[00:55:55]What you're looking at?

[00:55:58]Do you always do things left-handed?

[00:56:00]Yeah, and I'm sensitive about it.

[00:56:02]So am I.

[00:56:04]I'm left-handed, too. Oh, you are, are you?

[00:56:07]I came up here looking for a left-handed waddy that resembles me.

[00:56:15]Nah, I don't think there's any resemblance.

[00:56:19]You're a lot better looking than I am.

[00:56:22]Never mind that. Get going.

[00:56:28]Think you'll have use for that?

[00:56:30]I'm hoping they bring him back here.

[00:56:40]So, you're the Widow Martinez.

[00:56:43]I should have known better than to let my boy go to work for a woman as pretty as you.

[00:56:47]Now, see what's happened. Making him pretend that he's a bad man. Getting him into trouble for the first time in his life.

[00:56:54]He was getting away with it until you tried to take care of him.

[00:56:58]Now, if anything happens, you're the one to blame. Why?

[00:57:02]They won't do anything to him now. They know he's not the hard hombre, do they?

[00:57:06]They'll do everything they were afraid to do when they thought he was the hard hombre.

[00:57:12]Well, if he gets out of this safely, I I'll never interfere in his affairs again.

[00:57:17]Never.

[00:57:23]They're coming back.

[00:57:31]He must have gotten away. Maybe maybe they shot him.

[00:57:40]Where is my boy? I don't know, ma'am.

[00:57:43]Last we seen, he was going like a bat out of Ain't that him coming over there now?

[00:57:52]That's him, all right.

[00:57:58]All right, man.

[00:58:01]I seen you fellows out trying to round up this waddy, so I brought him in.

[00:58:05]What's he done?

[00:58:06]Beat us all out of our rights on this range. That's all.

[00:58:13]Who are you?

[00:58:14]Did you ever hear of the hard hombre?

[00:58:19]I suppose you came up here to get your hands on the man that's been trading on your reputation. Yeah.

[00:58:26]Have I got him?

[00:58:29]You've got him, and I'll take care of him, too. How were you going to see break loose? Head down.

[00:58:36]Now, but I was only just trying to have a little fun with the boys.

[00:58:39]>> Get down.

[00:58:46]No, wait. I was only having a little joke.

[00:58:50]Don't you point that gun at my boy. It might go off. All right, let go.

[00:58:53]>> Well, I won't.

[00:58:54]KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY MOTHER.

[00:59:30]TWO.

[00:59:35]That's three, Miguel. Now there's three more to come before I leave this place.

[00:59:42]Four. Two more coming.

[00:59:53]Miguel.

[00:59:58]Oh my poor boy. Come on, Miguel. Miguel, get up.

[01:00:39]Goodbye, William. Goodbye. What are you doing? What are you doing, William?

[01:00:53]What are you doing, William?

[01:00:57]NOT TODAY. MIGUEL.

[01:01:00]NOW YOU GET UP AND APOLOGIZE to my mother.

[01:01:08]Wonder what became of them two shots you had left.

[01:01:13]Come on out, all of you men, and come with your hands in the air.

[01:01:25]Look what he done to El Hard Hombre.

[01:01:37]What's going on here? Can't you see?

[01:01:39]We're being persecuted by Peaceful Patton.

[01:01:45]I ain't trying to persecute nobody. I'm just trying to enforce a ranch agreement. What agreement?

[01:01:52]I have it here.

[01:01:55]Say, that ain't legal. He forced us to sign it.

[01:02:00]I don't believe that, Barlow. Everybody knows that Peaceful Patton wouldn't threaten any man.

[01:02:11]I reckon you saved your cattle, Señora.

[01:02:14]Too late for you to start back to town, Mother.

[01:02:16]You better come with us. I'll get you fixed up for the night.

[01:02:30]The Hard Hombre. Who did this to him?

[01:02:33]Why, Peaceful Patton.

[01:02:36]He wouldn't threaten any man.

[01:02:40]So, the Hard Hombre is your boy? No. My boy isn't the Hard Hombre.

[01:02:47]Who is he? My boy. The man that licked the Hard Hombre.

[01:03:23]Why, William.

[01:03:25]Or Miguel.

[01:03:28]Miguel.

[01:03:30]Better.

[01:03:39]>> [music]
