- You can't take me away like this!

Don't tell us what we can't do, chum.

You've gotta get him!

Just because he's got a big ranch

and a fancy pool

doesn't mean he's a nice guy.

- Find out the things he's been doing!

- Sure, sure.

Just come on along.

The baby had the letters!

Oh, Suzy would be only

too glad to co-operate,

but it'll be months before

she'll be of any assistance.

No, no, Suzy.

Those are not for Suzy.

Those are for the gentleman.

Alright, let's go.

Where now?

We're gonna let you

get an idea of the county jail.

You won't find it the best in the West.

But it won't hurt you till they

come up from Los Angeles for you.

You can't hold me without a warrant.

Do I have to keep asking you

not to tell us what we can't do?

I'm trying to explain! There isn't time!

Time's the one thing

you don't need to worry about.

You'll have it to burn.

You'll have 20 years,

if you get the right lawyer.

If you don't,

you'll have all the time there is.

What's wrong? What's holding us up?

Truck ahead.

Looks like they're changing a tyre.

Got a cigarette?

Sure. All you want.

Hiya, bud! Hey, what's the matter?

He went behind those rocks!

Not over here.

There he goes!

There he is!

Hello there.

Hello. I got caught in this storm.

Maybe you'd like to come

inside and get dry.

Did you leave your car

down on the road?

It won't do it any good

standing in the rain.

I don't have a car.

You might say I'm travelling by thumb.

- By thumb?

- Yeah, I'm a hitchhiker.

Oh, I see.

I've always thought that was the

best way to learn about this country,

and the surest

test of the American heart.

Yes, I guess it is.

Will you go to the fire

and dry your clothes?

Thanks.

They'd dry more quickly if you hung

them up and put on something of mine.

Oh, no, thanks! This is fine.

We could do with another log

on the fire. Would you?

Why, sure.

You must stay until this blows over.

It won't detain you long.

These autumn storms are short.

They yield to none in wetness,

but they are short.

Yes, I -

I'm sorry, I should have warned you.

Those logs are heavier than you'd think.

I drop them constantly.

Yes, they are heavy.

I guess I was too smart

trying to pick it up with one hand.

Good job it didn't land on your foot.

That often happens to me.

You're lucky.

Yeah. I'm lucky.

Oh, I was forgetting.

My name is Philip Martin.

Oh, I'm Barry K - Mason.

I'm glad you found yourself near here,

Mr Mason, when the storm came.

It's a pleasant thing to have a guest

sharing the fire when it's raining.

- You live here alone, sir?

- Yes.

Except I don't think of it in that way.

You see, sounds are my lights

and my colours.
