You may have us now,

but l'll see you in jail for this!

Jail?

Stop it!

Get him out of here!

Get in that coach! Go on, move!

Get in there! You, too!

Come on, inside!

- He could die!

- We'll send him flowers!

Chico, cut the leaders!

Get going!

Put that in here

and get to your horses. Hurry!

A book?

Law?

Lawyer, huh?

l'll teach you law... Western law.

Let's get out of here.

Come on! Come on!

Hallie! Wake up, gal!

Tom Doniphon! 5:
30am.

What's the matter with you?

We've got a man down here ambushed.

Ambushed!

Like to die

if we don't get care for him.

- lt's the man from the hold up.

- That's right.

How did you know?

Stagecoach stopped by last night

to notify the marshal.

Link Appleyard?

Don't stand there gossiping.

Get him inside. Pompey!

Think you can make it, pilgrim?

Pick him up, Pompey.

Put him on the couch.

Tom, he's hurt real bad.

Thanks, Pompey.

Poor man. Beaten, whipped and kicked,

just for trying to protect a woman.

- How's that again?

- Stage driver told us all about it.

Well, Pompey, looks like

we got ourselves a ladies' man.

Hallie, we...

- Get some bandage.

- But...

l'll take care of him.

Pilgrim, you'll need

a couple of stitches.

Pompey, go find Doc Willoughby.

lf he's sober, bring him back.

Nora, sorry to bust in on you

like this. He's in trouble.

- Such a beating.

- This is just simply terrible.

By golly,

l'm going to get the marshal.

You want coffee?

l make some breakfast. Hallie?

Take her easy there, pilgrim.

You all right?

Here we are. Drink this.

ls that coffee?

Yah, coffee, and aquavit.

Swedish brandy. Good for you.

No, l don't care for that.

Here, you must drink.

That make you feel better.

lt ain't mannerly out west

to let a fellow drink by himself.

- All right if l smoke, ain't it?

- Sure. Go right ahead.

- Good. Now you will feel stronger.

- Thank you, ma'am.

Took my watch. My money's gone,

every cent l had in the world.

Don't fret about that, pilgrim.

You can eat here

until you get back on your feet.

- My credit's still good, Nora?

- Yah, Tom.

- Lie down. Please lie down.

- No. No, not now.

Not now.

l've got something to do.

Got something to do.

What did you say his name was?

The man with the silver-knobbed whip?

l said Liberty Valance,

but if that's what you got to do,

you better start packing a handgun.

A gun? l don't want a gun.

l don't want a gun.

l don't want to kill him.

l want to put him in jail.

l know those law books mean a lot

to you, but not out here.

Out here,

a man settles his own problems.

But do you know

what you're saying to me?

You're saying just exactly

what Liberty Valance said.
