00:01:30Silver watch and five dollars in coin of the realm for every southern settler who will leave here for the rich and fertile plains of Kansas.
00:01:41The South needs your vote.
00:01:49We want no five dollar voters.
00:01:51We want no silver watch settlers.
00:01:53We want a people Kansas with good hard working northern farmers.
00:02:00The people of Kansas.
00:02:12There you are sir.
00:02:15Give me two dollars and we'll call it square.
00:02:18What do you say?
00:02:19Must hit you pretty hard to loosen up that tooth.
00:02:22What's the trouble?
00:02:23I said president Pierce was a pole camp...
00:02:25...which he is.
00:02:26Then he popped me.
00:02:27Just wait until I get him in Kansas.
00:02:28Don't blame you. Don't blame you in a bit.
00:02:30Are you a dentist?
00:02:31Am I a dentist?
00:02:32My friends, you're looking directly at the best dentist west of Mississippi.
00:02:36What seems to be your trouble?
00:02:37Big fella back there, belted me on the mouth.
00:02:39Right in the chair there. Right in there. Sit down there.
00:02:42Eh, nothing about Pierce, I hope.
00:02:44Why, yeah. Who told you?
00:02:49Excuse me, partner.
00:02:51I don't want no trouble with you, mister. Just leave me be.
00:02:54I'll mind in my own business. You mind yours.
00:02:57Stranger, I ain't a care in whose wagon you're fishin'.
00:03:00Wasn't talkin' to you in the first place.
00:03:02But in the second place, I still think we could do with a better president.
00:03:05So what are you gonna do about it?
00:03:07Well, all right, mister. You ask for it.
00:03:14Right after the Mexican War, my wife says to me,
00:03:16says, Andrew, you know what this country needs?
00:03:18I says, no, what's it need?
00:03:20Says, needs more dentists.
00:03:21Well, it did, so I become a dentist.
00:03:23Say ah.
00:03:24Ah!
00:03:25There we are, sir.
00:03:31Hey, we ain't doin' bad.
00:03:33Made $34 the last three days.
00:03:35I can't go around poppin' people all my life.
00:03:38And am I askin' you to?
00:03:40Who were you when I met you?
00:03:41Nobody, standin' round down Texas,
00:03:44wantin' to travel and see the country.
00:03:46Well, you're seein' it, ain't you?
00:03:48Yeah, and I ain't likin' it.
00:03:50You told me I'd see mountains and oceans.
00:03:53This country ain't no different Texas.
00:03:55Ain't as good.
00:03:56I know, but travel costs money, son.
00:04:00You sayin' I ain't earnin' it?
00:04:01Now, I'm not complainin'.
00:04:03You knock the blues, I pull them out.
00:04:05Maybe, I'm just sayin' maybe, you know,
00:04:08if you was more promiscuous with your punchin',
00:04:11we might make a little more money.
00:04:13What you mean, you're promiscuous?
00:04:15Well, you got strange ideas about justice.
00:04:18Don't wanna hit nobody unless they deserve it.
00:04:20Now, that's all right, but we're in business.
00:04:22Business, different.
00:04:23Well, I don't know, Doc.
00:04:25You're gonna lose yourself a partner
00:04:27unless we get out of this territory pretty quick.
00:04:30Because I aim to see them mountains you were talkin' about.
00:04:34Man, you got a memory like an elephant.
00:04:36Get up.
00:04:37Am I a detainer, Doc?
00:04:38Yeah, break my plate.
00:04:39Get up.
00:04:53Whoa.
00:04:54Where'd you find your camping grounds, mister?
00:04:56Edge of town.
00:04:57Just past the schoolhouse.
00:04:59Much obliged.
00:05:00Yeah.
00:05:15Doc?
00:05:16Yeah?
00:05:17Hear that?
00:05:18Sure, pretty.
00:05:19Gives me goose pimples.
00:05:22Sick?
00:05:23No, just proud.
00:05:25Hello.
00:05:26Would you mind moving?
00:05:27I'd like to get through.
00:05:31I said, would you mind moving?
00:05:33I'd like to get through.
00:05:34Oh, excuse me, ma'am,
00:05:36but I ain't had a chance to hear
00:05:38such pretty singing in a long time.
00:05:40You wouldn't believe it,
00:05:41but music does something to me.
00:05:43That kind of music.
00:05:44Why, I can remember when...
00:05:45Yes, it's all very interesting,
00:05:46but are you going to move this wagon
00:05:48or shall I have it moved for you?
00:05:49You know, Doc,
00:05:51all them stories we've been hearing about Kansas
00:05:53must be true.
00:05:54Why, even the women folk think nothing of
00:05:56threatening strangers right out in the open like.
00:05:58Good morning, Miss McCloud.
00:06:00Oh, good morning, Mr. Cantrell.
00:06:02Would you be good enough to ask him
00:06:04to get out of the way?
00:06:05He's so enchanted with your music class,
00:06:07he refuses to move.
00:06:08Your interest is very gratifying, sir.
00:06:10First time our singing lessons
00:06:12have ever held up traffic.
00:06:14Uh, if you'd care to,
00:06:15we'd be delighted to have you join us.
00:06:17Thank you, mister.
00:06:19In that case, I reckon we'll move on.
00:06:23Get out of there.
00:06:26Beautifully done, Mr. Cantrell.
00:06:28You certainly know how to say the right thing
00:06:30at the right time.
00:06:31Except where you're concerned.
00:06:33Oh, Will, you've held me speechless
00:06:35with your eloquence.
00:06:37Yeah, that's just what I'm complaining of.
00:06:39I want to leave you with just enough speech
00:06:41to say one word, and you never do.
00:06:44Maybe I should change my tactics.
00:06:47You think I'd say yes at the point of a gun?
00:06:49I thought you would. I'd be armed to the teeth.
00:06:51Oh, then you'd scare me to death.
00:06:56I'm going in town to rent an office.
00:06:58It'll take about a month,
00:06:59the way I figure to fix all teeth in this town.
00:07:01Of course, that's not counting the ones you'll send in.
00:07:03Then we're heading west, California, and mountains.
00:07:06No hurry, Doc.
00:07:08Take your time.
00:07:10I want to look this country over good.
00:07:14Well, if you ain't the contrariest critter I've ever seen.
00:07:33Will you put that gun away?
00:07:35No, sir, I will not.
00:07:36I won't warn you again. Now put that gun away.
00:07:38Give me that gun, I say.
00:07:40No, sir, I'm over 21, and I've got a right to carry a gun.
00:07:42No one's going to stop.
00:07:43Don't you raise your voice to me, you young scalawag.
00:07:45Have you no respect for your father? Now give me that gun.
00:07:47I'm getting tired of being treated like a kid.
00:07:50Mary.
00:07:52Ellie! Ellie!
00:07:54Do you know how much that cost?
00:07:55Ellie, take up the carpets,
00:07:56and let's have plenty of sawdust on the floor.
00:07:58And also several cuspidaws. Now let me see.
00:08:00Oh, yes, we can put the beer barrels over there,
00:08:02and I can build a bar where the piano is.
00:08:04Oh, and there I want a large picture of dancing nymphs.
00:08:06But be sure, Ellie, and keep this space clear
00:08:08for brawling purposes.
00:08:10What are you raving about?
00:08:11Well, both you and Fletch act like you're in a saloon,
00:08:13so I just thought I'd make you feel at home, Dad.
00:08:16Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
00:08:18Well, go on, apologize to your sister
00:08:20for making a deplorable scene.
00:08:22Oh, I'm sorry, sis.
00:08:24All right, Ellie, you may go.
00:08:26But don't forget the sawdust, just in case.
00:08:29Now, what's all this yelling about a gun, anyway?
00:08:31Oh, the hot-tempered young fool must carry a gun,
00:08:34because the place swarms with Yankees,
00:08:35and he wants to get into trouble.
00:08:37Now listen, sis, I'm old enough.
00:08:39Stop yelling at me.
00:08:40The southerner never raises his voice.
00:08:43Never.
00:08:44That's right, dear.
00:08:45Just follow your father's example.
00:08:47He never forgets himself.
00:08:48Well, I'm going to tote a gun,
00:08:49and no one's going to take it off of me.
00:08:51Fletch McCloud, where in the world
00:08:53did you pick up such language?
00:08:54Tote, often.
00:08:55Give me that gun.
00:08:57A cowboy came through town one day,
00:08:59and he got big ideas.
00:09:00He's been wanting to tote, carry a gun ever since.
00:09:04Fletch, I just saw a ruffian with a gun,
00:09:06but he was no match for Will Cantrell,
00:09:08who merely used his brain.
00:09:09Yes, but...
00:09:10Oh, hush.
00:09:11Now, I'm not another word out of you.
00:09:13Go along.
00:09:14Stop aggravating your father.
00:09:15Oh, Dad, I wonder if you'd let me...
00:09:17No!
00:09:19Oh, you two.
00:09:20Shame on you.
00:09:21If I weren't around,
00:09:22you'd beat each other's throats all day.
00:09:24What are you going to do when I get married?
00:09:27Yeah, enough.
00:09:28You worry about us.
00:09:31Did Cantrell ask you to marry him?
00:09:34Uh-huh.
00:09:35Good.
00:09:36Splendid.
00:09:37I didn't say I'd accepted him, though, did I?
00:09:39Oh, he's a smart lad, Mary.
00:09:41Ambitious, hard worker.
00:09:42Be a big man someday.
00:09:43I like a little one I can boss around.
00:09:45Oh, no, no, no.
00:09:46I'm serious.
00:09:47He'd make a good husband for you, that lad.
00:09:49His grandfather was Scotch.
00:09:50I wouldn't think of getting married
00:09:52until you and Fletch are old enough to stop fighting.
00:09:54The carriage is ready, sir.
00:09:56Oh, thank you, Tom.
00:09:57I'm going to be in Dodge City for about a week.
00:09:59If I could know you'll take Cantrell,
00:10:01I could buy you a handsome wedding present.
00:10:03What are you, a banker or a matchmaker?
00:10:06There you are, sir.
00:10:08Ah!
00:10:09Smooth as a baby's legs.
00:10:12Your Honor,
00:10:13them's the kindest words I've heard from a judge in years.
00:10:16Mostly, they say 30 days.
00:10:18My friend,
00:10:19you may paint a shaving mug with the name Judge Buckner
00:10:23and count upon me as a steady patron.
00:10:25Now it's your establishment.
00:10:26Two bits.
00:10:27Oh, touch, touch, touch.
00:10:28I shall settle with you weekly,
00:10:30or perhaps monthly.
00:10:32You know, some of my accounts...
00:10:33I beg your pardon, madam.
00:10:34He's in excellent shape, madam.
00:10:35Oh, I'm sorry, madam.
00:10:36I'm sorry.
00:10:37Good morning, ma'am.
00:10:38I wish to have a tooth pulled.
00:10:39Yes, ma'am.
00:10:40Will you be seated, please?
00:10:44There you are.
00:10:45What's this?
00:10:46Imbibe, madam, or supper?
00:10:48I do not imbibe.
00:10:50Very well, ma'am.
00:10:51Now, if you'll kindly place your right knee
00:10:53against my chest here.
00:10:54What?
00:10:55I never heard of such a thing in my life.
00:10:57I'll tell my husband if I...
00:10:58Just for leverage.
00:10:59What?
00:11:00Just for leverage.
00:11:01Say ah.
00:11:02Ah!
00:11:03Ah!
00:11:04Ah!
00:11:05Ah!
00:11:06Take a short trip out of town and look what happens.
00:11:08Four killings in a week.
00:11:10It's got to stop.
00:11:11Four?
00:11:12Did you say four?
00:11:13That's right, four!
00:11:14Well, we're getting to be quite a town, aren't we?
00:11:16I doubt if they have that many in Dodge City.
00:11:18No, I don't think so.
00:11:19We aim to compete with any city in size,
00:11:21but not in lawlessness.
00:11:22Certainly, of course.
00:11:23But four killings, why, it's outrageous.
00:11:25The judge was saying, Mr. McCloud,
00:11:27before you came,
00:11:29that the appointment of a marshal is obviously in order.
00:11:31Aye, if we can find the right man.
00:11:33Aye, I have a nephew.
00:11:34He's a fine, upstanding young man who...
00:11:37Who you'd like to see on the city payroll.
00:11:39Well, the man we need must be honest,
00:11:41must have courage,
00:11:42know how to handle men.
00:11:44Are there any suggestions, gentlemen?
00:11:46Wait a minute.
00:11:47There's my nephew.
00:11:48He's out.
00:11:49We really felt, Mr. McCloud,
00:11:50that you'd probably make a nomination.
00:11:53Well, gentlemen,
00:11:54I think I know the very man.
00:11:56Look out for the ruts, Will.
00:11:57Look out for the ruts.
00:11:58There you have the story of my life.
00:12:00Only I never did look out.
00:12:01Always been in one.
00:12:03Look at me now.
00:12:04A schoolteacher.
00:12:05Where's that going to get me?
00:12:07Where do you want to go?
00:12:08I think I could go clear up to the top, Mary,
00:12:10if I thought you'd be there waiting for me.
00:12:12Why not go to the top anyway,
00:12:13just for the climb and the view?
00:12:16Oh, me?
00:12:17All right.
00:12:18I'm from Tennessee.
00:12:20One of it.
00:12:21We ain't wanting people around here
00:12:22who sell their votes.
00:12:24I don't have to sell mine, mister.
00:12:25I got a business of my own.
00:12:27Smart aleck, huh?
00:12:28What do you say, boy,
00:12:29if we give him a lift out of town?
00:12:30Yeah!
00:12:31Take your hands off of him.
00:12:36Now, who might you be?
00:12:38Nothing to you.
00:12:39I just said, keep your hands off.
00:12:41You talk mighty big for one man.
00:12:43What right have you got to butt into this?
00:12:45I'll tell you, you pack of coyotes.
00:12:47A man born in this country is an American.
00:12:49Don't forget that.
00:12:50It's his right to.
00:12:52Go where he pleases,
00:12:53and it's my business to.
00:12:56Come on, now.
00:13:03Hit him in the teeth, Bob.
00:13:04In the teeth.
00:13:06Let me give you a hand, mister.
00:13:08Thanks.
00:13:09Where'd you come from?
00:13:10Been following you around all morning.
00:13:12What for?
00:13:14Cowboy, ain't you?
00:13:15Yep.
00:13:16I'm Texas.
00:13:17Why?
00:13:20Sure, that's the way it is.
00:13:22Them doggies are the ballinest critters
00:13:24I ever rode herd on.
00:13:25It's like sometimes out on the range
00:13:27after you got the herd bedded down you.
00:13:29Ow!
00:13:30You're gonna hurt my tongue.
00:13:31My mistake.
00:13:32You ever have your tooth pulled?
00:13:34No, I don't do it.
00:13:35You're lucky.
00:13:36Say, you really busted that knuckle, didn't you?
00:13:39Oh, it ain't nothing.
00:13:40It's just a tooth.
00:13:41It's just a tooth.
00:13:42It's just a tooth.
00:13:43It's just a tooth.
00:13:44It's just a tooth.
00:13:45It's just a tooth.
00:13:46It's just a tooth.
00:13:47It's just a tooth.
00:13:48No, it ain't nothing.
00:13:49No, I've had lots of them.
00:13:51Here's what I always use.
00:13:52Thanks.
00:13:53But you ain't told me if I go out on the range,
00:13:55what's the first thing they're gonna ask me?
00:13:57For chow and tobacco, most likely.
00:13:59There's something I wanted to ask you.
00:14:01Me?
00:14:02Yeah.
00:14:03You know that girl I was staring at
00:14:04when all the ruckus started?
00:14:06Yeah?
00:14:07Well, who is she?
00:14:08Well, her name's Mary McLeod.
00:14:10Why?
00:14:11Well, I'll tell you.
00:14:13I think maybe I'll marry her.
00:14:15What?
00:14:16Of course, if she'll have me, I mean.
00:14:18Fella wouldn't want to marry anyone
00:14:19that didn't want him, naturally.
00:14:21Oh, naturally.
00:14:23You know her well?
00:14:24No, I've just seen her once or twice.
00:14:26Once, she was on a horse, and...
00:14:28Next time, she was with a jackass.
00:14:31He is, huh?
00:14:32Makes it easier, don't it?
00:14:34Practically a cinch.
00:14:35Say, you do things kind of sudden, don't you?
00:14:37No, not exactly.
00:14:39But you see, I got her figured out this way.
00:14:42If you like someone,
00:14:43and you don't tell them right off,
00:14:45why, maybe all that time you wasted,
00:14:47she liked you, too.
00:14:48So, well, all that time's wasted, ain't it?
00:14:52Well, it is the way you put it.
00:14:54How'd you expect to go about this?
00:14:56Oh, yes.
00:14:58Glad you mentioned that.
00:15:02I figured that if you was to take me over to her
00:15:05and give me an introduce,
00:15:07then I could tell her who I was
00:15:09and that I never murdered nobody,
00:15:11and you could go somewhere
00:15:13and sit on a fence till I was through.
00:15:15I'm sure you won't be long.
00:15:17Well, come on.
00:15:18I think she's over at the bank.
00:15:20I forgot to ask you your name.
00:15:22Fletch.
00:15:23Lion Seaton.
00:15:24Bob Seaton.
00:15:25You got a first name?
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:27Cupid.
00:15:34He's a real cowboy.
00:15:35From Texas.
00:15:36This is her father's bank.
00:15:40Owns a bank, huh?
00:15:41What do you know?
00:15:42He don't like cowboys either, I can tell you that.
00:15:44Yeah, I know the breed.
00:15:45String-hollered and spaven.
00:15:47Squeeze the blood out of a turnip.
00:15:49You keep your chin to yourself.
00:15:51Huh?
00:15:52I mean, you wait here and I'll go bring her.
00:15:54Fair enough.
00:15:56I don't know how to express my appreciation, Mr. McCloud.
00:16:00I suppose it'll be left to a vote, huh?
00:16:03Naturally.
00:16:04There'll be other candidates throwing their hats in the ring,
00:16:06but you're not going to have any trouble winning.
00:16:09I hope you're right.
00:16:13Fletch, what's the matter with you?
00:16:14Where are you dragging me?
00:16:15A friend of mine here wants to talk to you.
00:16:20You wanted to talk to me?
00:16:22Yes, that's sort of the idea.
00:16:26Well?
00:16:29Did the squirt tell you who I was?
00:16:31The who?
00:16:33The kid.
00:16:34Cupid.
00:16:35Ain't that a name for you?
00:16:37You know, him that went in there and asked for you.
00:16:40My brother, you mean.
00:16:41Yeah, he and I...
00:16:42Your what?
00:16:44My brother.
00:16:45Who did you think he was?
00:16:46Well, your brother.
00:16:49Yes.
00:16:51You see the fight?
00:16:52No.
00:16:53Well, we lost.
00:16:55Almost.
00:16:56Was that what you wanted to talk to me about?
00:16:58Well, not exactly.
00:16:59That is, no.
00:17:02Then what was it?
00:17:04Well, did he say anything to you about anything I'd said to him?
00:17:10My brother, you mean?
00:17:11Yes.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13He didn't, did he?
00:17:14No.
00:17:15Well, um...
00:17:18Back there in the office, I had this all figured out.
00:17:21Out there on the prairie, it seemed easier.
00:17:24You got blue eyes.
00:17:25I beg your pardon?
00:17:26Yes, sir.
00:17:27Blue eyes.
00:17:29Oh, let's see now.
00:17:30Where was I?
00:17:31Uh, Bob Seaton.
00:17:33From Texas.
00:17:34Ma died when I was nine years old and about eight months ago.
00:17:38I'll do anything you say, Mr. McCloud.
00:17:40And once again, thank you very much.
00:17:42Good luck to you.
00:17:45Where's Mary?
00:17:46She went across the street to buy a spool of thread or something.
00:17:48Oh, well, I'll go...
00:17:49I wouldn't do that if I was you, Mr. Cantrell.
00:17:51She always gets a little fidgety when she's buying a spool of thread or something.
00:17:55Dad, you tell him about me going to be a cowboy.
00:17:57Go ahead and tell him.
00:17:58Cowboy?
00:17:59That's the only time I was ever in jail.
00:18:01It was the other fellow's fault.
00:18:03I was drunk.
00:18:04Drinking, of course, constituting no crime.
00:18:07Man?
00:18:08I said drinking, of course, constituting no crime.
00:18:11I'm going to learn big words myself someday.
00:18:14Now, look.
00:18:15I've listened to you very patiently.
00:18:17I've heard your whole life's history.
00:18:19I know what to do for cattle.
00:18:20I've eaten too many local weeds.
00:18:22Why sulfur and molasses?
00:18:23Isn't it as good as people think it is?
00:18:24And a thousand other things that I've forgotten already.
00:18:26Now, will you please get to the point and tell me what you want?
00:18:29I want to marry you.
00:18:31You what?
00:18:33Well, I ain't got no job right now, but I figured I'd get one.
00:18:36Outside of a snort of hooch now and then, I got no bad habits.
00:18:39I'd say asking perfect strangers to marry you is a very bad habit.
00:18:44You looking for someone, ma'am?
00:18:46Yeah, surely they don't let you out alone, do they?
00:18:48Well, we got a saying down in Texas that a fellow doesn't get any place unless he tries.
00:18:53Well, you might as well give up trying because it's not going to help you a bit.
00:18:56Well, we got another saying in Texas.
00:18:58Yes, yes, I'm sure you have.
00:18:59Goodbye.
00:19:03That'll be four and a half.
00:19:04Two for the tooth, two and a half for the whiskey.
00:19:06You got another swig coming.
00:19:07I'm afraid I ain't got any cash.
00:19:09Maybe you could take it out and trade.
00:19:11Oh, I was afraid of that.
00:19:12I pulled teeth up in Boston once for a year.
00:19:14Practically lived on beans.
00:19:16Got some stuff outside that beats money in the bank in this territory.
00:19:19Wagon load of guns.
00:19:21And they'd have been tooken away from me.
00:19:23If it hadn't been for that young friend of yours.
00:19:25Ain't legal to run guns, you know that.
00:19:27What's legal and what ain't legal?
00:19:29Why, in these towns, they ain't got no marshals.
00:19:31You needin' a partner, mister?
00:19:34Hmm, maybe.
00:19:36No, you don't.
00:19:37Oh, no, you don't.
00:19:38He got hit in that fight.
00:19:39You don't know what he's saying.
00:19:40Listen, son.
00:19:41How about it?
00:19:42You can't, Bob.
00:19:43Oh, I'm sick of this here city life.
00:19:45Fella can't go around doin' nothin' all the time.
00:19:48Yeah, I'll get my good gunrunner out of you.
00:19:50Over my dead body.
00:19:53Doc's right, son.
00:19:55Gunrunnin's not for your kind.
00:19:57You ain't a wrecker, boy.
00:19:58You're a builder.
00:20:00Doc's right again.
00:20:02You're the kind this country needs.
00:20:04I suppose it sounds kind of funny
00:20:06for an old law-breaking coot like me to talk patriotism.
00:20:08What'd you have in that whiskey?
00:20:09Stars and stripes?
00:20:10Come on outside, I'll give you a couple of guns.
00:20:12Shucks, you don't owe me nothin'.
00:20:14Give your tooth back for a souvenir, if you like.
00:20:16No, give it to the kid.
00:20:18Someday, when he sees me strung up at the end of a rope,
00:20:20he'll remember I gave him some good advice.
00:20:22Goodbye, gentlemen.
00:20:23Goodbye.
00:20:32What hit you, Bob?
00:20:34Come on now, son, what's wrong?
00:20:36Still yearnin' for them mountains, Doc.
00:20:38Uh-oh.
00:20:39What's your name?
00:20:40Murray Mc...
00:20:42Say, there's no girl mixed up in this.
00:20:45Same one we met comin' into town?
00:20:47Her?
00:20:48She makes me sick.
00:20:49You know what?
00:20:50Way down in Texas, they'd laugh her out of town.
00:20:53She don't know her own mind, that female.
00:20:56A fella can't expect to win a woman
00:20:57unless she does somethin' worthwhile.
00:20:59Better old man cheats everybody in town.
00:21:03See that poster?
00:21:06Yeah.
00:21:07What does it say?
00:21:09It says they're lookin' for a new marshal.
00:21:11It does, huh?
00:21:13You know, Bob, you could make somethin' out of yourself.
00:21:16You tried.
00:21:17Yeah?
00:21:18Yeah.
00:21:20You could run for marshal.
00:21:22Me, a marshal?
00:21:24Are you loco?
00:21:25Well, you could try.
00:21:27Better for a young fella like you
00:21:28to be workin' with Uncle Sam than to get him.
00:21:30You can't read or write, you know that.
00:21:33Listen, you don't read and write a man into jail.
00:21:37But a marshal's gotta know somethin'.
00:21:39He's gotta have papers on his desk and things.
00:21:42Sure.
00:21:43There's a school down the other street
00:21:45where they can learn anybody to read and write.
00:21:47Boy, they got little kids down there.
00:21:49Ain't that high?
00:21:50Read and write just as pretty as anything you ever seen.
00:21:54Now, if I was you, uh...
00:21:57You're young, Mr. Seaton.
00:21:59Never too late to learn?
00:22:01Look kind of funny, won't it?
00:22:03Me sittin' there among all them kids?
00:22:05Yeah, well, don't worry about that.
00:22:07You and I'll do our studying in the evenings,
00:22:09and that way, nobody'll know anything about it.
00:22:11Well, oh, well.
00:22:14You're a pretty regular fella.
00:22:16Thanks.
00:22:17Uh, tell me, uh,
00:22:20you, uh, say you can't write?
00:22:22Make brandy.
00:22:24Say you can't write?
00:22:25Make brands on cows, about all.
00:22:28Tried to write with ink once.
00:22:30Looked like an Easter egg for a week.
00:22:32Oh, well, your supper...
00:22:36Your supper's ready, Mr. Cantrell.
00:22:38Uh, this is, uh, my housekeeper, Mrs. Adams.
00:22:41Elizabeth, uh, this is Mr. Seaton.
00:22:44Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
00:22:48Oh, I'm keeping you from your supper.
00:22:50There's no great hurry.
00:22:51You were saying that, uh...
00:22:53Oh, yes.
00:22:54Same way about spelling.
00:22:56When I try, people laugh.
00:22:57Call me Shortcut down home.
00:22:58What?
00:22:59Well, you see, I spell them like they sound.
00:23:01You know, bacon, B-A-A-C-O-N, bacon, and scrub-esk-it.
00:23:04Well, go on, laugh.
00:23:06No offense, I assure you.
00:23:08Tell me, uh, why this sudden ambition?
00:23:11Is it, uh, because you want to learn?
00:23:13Don't mind if I do.
00:23:14Fact is, I'm gonna be marshal of this here town.
00:23:17Oh.
00:23:19Indeed.
00:23:21You don't seem very happy about it.
00:23:23Well, should I be?
00:23:25I'm, uh, running for the office myself.
00:23:28Oh.
00:23:30Ain't that one for you.
00:23:33Here I just get to liking you, and...
00:23:36Now I gotta beat you out of that job.
00:23:47Didn't know you had company, Will.
00:23:50Oh, that's all right, Ma.
00:23:52Pay no mind to his bragging, Will.
00:23:55He ain't had no more to learn than I have.
00:23:58You'll be elected.
00:24:00That's not him I'm worrying about, Ma.
00:24:02It's you. I'm sick of this whole pretense.
00:24:04Mrs. Adams, my housekeeper.
00:24:06Every time I say it, the lie sticks in my throat.
00:24:08I'm not ashamed of you.
00:24:09I know you ain't.
00:24:10There's plenty of folks in Lawrence that might be ashamed.
00:24:13Or try to.
00:24:14And that don't aim to let them.
00:24:17Leave things be, Will.
00:24:19I ain't complaining.
00:24:21No, you wouldn't complain if they boiled you in oil.
00:24:24As long as you thought it would help me.
00:24:27It's no use, Ma. It won't work out.
00:24:29I'm going to send you back home to Ohio.
00:24:31I won't go, Will.
00:24:32We come out here together.
00:24:34And I'm staying.
00:24:35All right.
00:24:36We'll see how things are after the ballots are counted.
00:24:39But if I'm beaten by that cowhand, I'm through with books and teaching.
00:24:42I'm gonna burn every book in this house.
00:24:44I'm going to the top if I have to go over the bodies of...
00:24:46Will, quit that wild talk.
00:24:48Your pa spoke for it.
00:24:49Yeah, well, don't forget.
00:24:51I've got some of his blood in my veins, too.
00:25:05Thank you, my friend.
00:25:07I have talked a lot about myself.
00:25:10And you have been most indulgent.
00:25:13Well, then, I want to say something about Mr. Seaton, my opponent.
00:25:18You will observe that I say about and not against.
00:25:22Because I know nothing against Mr. Seaton.
00:25:25Neither as my opponent nor as my pupil.
00:25:30My most promising pupil.
00:25:33Within the hour, you will go to the polls.
00:25:36And you will elect either Mr. Seaton or myself.
00:25:41If you elect him, you will get a man who is honest.
00:25:46And, my friends, Mr. Seaton is a man of courage.
00:25:50Plenty of courage.
00:25:51But honesty and courage are not enough.
00:25:54Today more than ever before, a public office calls for knowledge.
00:25:59You must know law and how to apply it.
00:26:02And that, my friends, calls for intensive study.
00:26:05To which, as you all know, I have devoted many years.
00:26:09Our town has grown to a size where we need a marshal.
00:26:13Be sure you elect a man who can grow with the town.
00:26:18Thank you.
00:26:28And now, friends, I present Mr. Cantrell's opponent.
00:26:33He calls himself Bob Seaton and says he comes from Texas.
00:26:38I know nothing more about him.
00:26:39In fact, I had a tough time finding out even that much.
00:26:45Come on in.
00:26:47I gotta get out of here. I'm sick.
00:26:50Bob, listen to me.
00:26:51Come on, Doc. Your job is pulling teeth out of people's mouths, not putting words in them.
00:26:56Let him speak for himself.
00:27:00Come on, let him talk for himself.
00:27:09The judge hears right about that speech.
00:27:12Doc wrote one out for me, all right.
00:27:15But he forgot I couldn't read.
00:27:20Folks, it's true. I don't know much about the law.
00:27:24Ain't had much book learning.
00:27:26But the good Lord gave me a nose for smelling a horse's teeth a mile off.
00:27:31And what you need in these parts is a marshal that's better at smelling than spelling.
00:27:39Mr. Cantrell here says that I'm honest and I ain't afraid of nothing.
00:27:44He didn't say that I was too dumb for this job, but that's what he meant.
00:27:49And he's right. I am dumb.
00:27:52I'm dumb enough to think that smart marshals do their shooting first and their talking afterward.
00:27:57Folks, this country has more laws than there are ways to skin a skunk.
00:28:01Thousands of them.
00:28:03Why, back east they tell me there's even a law against spitting.
00:28:07But remember this.
00:28:09Before you can try him for anything, you gotta catch him.
00:28:13I can catch him.
00:28:23Well, what's so funny, Mr. McCloud?
00:28:25Lots, Miss McCloud.
00:28:26Why, don't you like the way I'm arranging the table?
00:28:28I would just think of what would happen if Cantrell didn't get elected.
00:28:31That's stupid. How could he lose?
00:28:33Did you ever hear the story of the tortoise and the hare?
00:28:35I'm not at all interested in a tortoise.
00:28:37Maybe you're not, but you ain't been the same since.
00:28:40Ain't? Since what?
00:28:42Since he proposed to you.
00:28:44Oh, buff.
00:28:45By yourself. You can't tell me you were so mad.
00:28:49No, I'll admit I wasn't.
00:28:51It was the other fella's fault. I was drunk.
00:28:54He's either the most stupid man in the world or he's too naive to be without a keeper.
00:28:59The voting's over.
00:29:01They're cheering for Will.
00:29:03How much did he win by, Dad?
00:29:05Cantrell didn't win.
00:29:06That high-heeled cowboy is the new marshal.
00:29:08That'll be enough of you.
00:29:10Yes, sir.
00:29:11I'd better start learning to tote a gun.
00:29:13It's going to be the fashion from now on.
00:29:15Father?
00:29:16And nobody's going to take it off on me.
00:29:22Ellie!
00:29:23Ellie, you can clear all this away now.
00:29:26I'm going to get mine quick.
00:29:30Well, howdy, Marshal.
00:29:32Hiya, Fletch.
00:29:33Boy, am I glad.
00:29:35Well, what do you want?
00:29:37Nothing, ma'am.
00:29:38You once told me that I wouldn't mean anything even if I tried.
00:29:42Well, I tried.
00:29:44Um, are you here on official business, Mr. Marshal?
00:29:47No, ma'am. Personal.
00:29:49What does that say, Fletch?
00:29:51Good luck to our new marshal.
00:29:53That's right kind of you to go to all this bother for me.
00:29:56Oh, it isn't any bother at all.
00:29:58Only, uh, it isn't for you. It's for Mr. Cantrell.
00:30:01Oh.
00:30:03We got a saying down in Texas, ma'am,
00:30:05about counting your chickens before they're hatched.
00:30:08Have you also got a saying down in Texas
00:30:10about people knowing whether they want it or not?
00:30:13Fletch, you hear that?
00:30:15I sure did, Marshal.
00:30:17We also got a saying, ma'am,
00:30:19that women don't always say what they mean.
00:30:23Uh, do you mind telling me briefly why you're here?
00:30:27Yes, ma'am.
00:30:28I was a little hasty a couple of weeks ago
00:30:31asking you to marry me.
00:30:35There was something I should have told you first.
00:30:38Oh, that's all right. You told me.
00:30:40You were in jail once, but it wasn't your fault.
00:30:43Uh-uh.
00:30:45I should have told you first that I love you.
00:30:52That's what I really came over for tonight.
00:30:55Oh, there I go again.
00:30:57Isn't there something I should have done for that?
00:30:59What, for instance?
00:31:01This.
00:31:06Well, that's the right order
00:31:08in which things are done down in Texas.
00:31:11What? I, uh...
00:31:14Uh...
00:31:23Don't do it, Will. Don't do it.
00:31:25It ain't right.
00:31:26I know.
00:31:27Well, I'm sick of doing what's right.
00:31:29I'm sick of teaching school.
00:31:31Getting nowhere.
00:31:32Will, listen to me.
00:31:33If it's Mary McLeod, you think now she'll like you
00:31:35if you ain't got a penny.
00:31:37Learning, studying, working like a dog,
00:31:39and what does it get me?
00:31:41The first chance I have to be somebody,
00:31:42I'm beaten out of it by an ignorant cowhand
00:31:44who can't even write his own name.
00:31:46Well, I can write my name,
00:31:48and I'm gonna write it across this territory
00:31:50in letters of fire and blood if I have to.
00:31:52I'm gonna be somebody in this country, somebody big.
00:31:54Stop it, Will. Stop it.
00:31:56You ain't gonna take that road.
00:31:57That's why we come clear out here from Ohio.
00:31:59Away from the rottenness of your brothers.
00:32:01Will, I taught you different.
00:32:03There's good in you,
00:32:05and it's stronger than the bad that's in your blood.
00:32:08Will, I've already seen three of my sons turn bad.
00:32:12Rather than say you follow them,
00:32:14I'll kill you.
00:32:16May that give you life.
00:32:18I know what I'm doing, Ma.
00:32:20I'll be running Kansas yet.
00:32:22I'm going clear up to the top,
00:32:24but I'm not going for the climb or the view.
00:32:43Pile in there.
00:32:44We're taking you across the border.
00:32:46You're free.
00:32:47Get off my land.
00:32:49We don't want slavery in Kansas.
00:32:52Where do we take this batch?
00:32:54Run them across the Missouri border.
00:32:55They should bring about 300 apiece.
00:33:09You're slowing up, Cantrell.
00:33:11I expected more than this.
00:33:13That's the last of it.
00:33:14I'm through with slave running.
00:33:16Too risky.
00:33:17A fellow named John Brown got himself hung for it.
00:33:20It's gun running for me from now on.
00:33:22It's healthier.
00:33:28What's the matter?
00:33:29A couple of men are complaining.
00:33:31They'll get their money when we get over the ridge.
00:33:33They're figuring to take this stuff to the border and turn back.
00:33:36Listen, Bushrop, their plane has plenty of money for these guns,
00:33:39and I promised to deliver them in Kansas.
00:33:41Now, if you can't do this my way, somebody else will.
00:33:43Sure.
00:33:44Sure, anything you say.
00:33:50There.
00:33:51There they are.
00:33:52Come on, let's get them.
00:33:53Easy.
00:33:54Let's take it easy.
00:34:15Whip them up, boys.
00:34:16Whip them up, boys.
00:34:46Let's go.
00:35:02Did you get a good look at him, Bob?
00:35:06Maybe.
00:35:09Take that stuff on into town.
00:35:10I'll see you later.
00:35:16See you later.
00:35:36Pretty late to be stopping by.
00:35:38That's all right.
00:35:39You'll find me burning the midnight oil most nights.
00:35:42Saw your light on the window.
00:35:46Legal advice.
00:35:48I'll be glad to help you if I can.
00:35:51A couple of points of law I'm not so sure of.
00:35:54You got a territorial code book handy?
00:35:57Uh-huh.
00:35:59Got one right here.
00:36:03It's practically my Bible.
00:36:05Glad to hear that, teacher.
00:36:08Hope you abide by it like the Christian does a good book.
00:36:11What do you want to know, Marshal?
00:36:13Penalty for smuggling.
00:36:17What sort of smuggling?
00:36:21Unlicensed arms into federal territory.
00:36:28All right, here we are.
00:36:32Five years imprisonment.
00:36:36$5,000 fine or both?
00:36:39Five years, eh?
00:36:41It's a big slice out of a man's life, teacher.
00:36:45What's your point, Seaton?
00:36:47Point is...
00:36:49Someone tried to run in 500 rifles tonight.
00:36:53I figured on gun law and once myself.
00:36:56But even I was too smart for that.
00:36:59Mr. Cantrell, you're one of the smartest men I've ever known.
00:37:02And if I didn't like you, I'd have to...
00:37:04Hey, just a minute.
00:37:05You're not accusing me, are you?
00:37:07No, just telling you.
00:37:10Rather give you advice, you're in the schoolhouse.
00:37:13Have to lock you in a jailhouse.
00:37:17Why, you're a crazy man.
00:37:19Gun running and school teaching don't mix.
00:37:21Don't you know that?
00:37:24I know it.
00:37:26Make sure you do.
00:37:28So, I'm learning from Fletch how to be a good cow hand.
00:37:31He's learning me to be a gentleman.
00:37:33Fletch made a better deal, you're being cheated.
00:37:35How so?
00:37:36Good morning, Will.
00:37:38Good morning.
00:37:44I'm not sentencing good people.
00:37:47I'm not.
00:37:49I'm not.
00:37:51I'm not.
00:37:53I'm not.
00:37:55I'm not.
00:37:57What do you think of the friendship you had with your friend, Mr. Cantrell?
00:38:00Why?
00:38:02Well, I think he's got the idea that I'm trying to steal you away or something.
00:38:07And?
00:38:09Oh, I think maybe he's right.
00:38:12Get out.
00:38:14Looks like this man Lincoln's liable to win with the democrats dividing up between Douglas and Breckenridge.
00:38:19Hmm, looks like a heap of trouble.
00:38:21Yep.
00:38:22Ruckus is in the south, ruckus is in the north.
00:38:24Looks like war is just around the corner.
00:38:26Well, all I want is to be let along to raise Kansas wheat.
00:38:29South trouble ain't no concern of ours.
00:38:31Well, I don't know.
00:38:33You feel South or North, depending on what's in your heart.
00:38:36Heart, nothing. It's a matter of pocketbook to the South.
00:38:39Yes, sir. What they want's free labor.
00:38:41In a Northern mill, a man's got a chance to earn a living wage.
00:38:44Eight and sometimes ten dollars a week.
00:38:47Cheap slave labor. That's what the South wants to fight for.
00:38:50Oh, let's talk about Southern tradition and chivalry.
00:38:52Well, there is tradition there, Mr. Hale.
00:38:54Which Mr. Hale can hardly appreciate.
00:38:57Oh, one of Jeff Davis' boys, huh?
00:39:00Well, I'd like to see some of this Southern tradition and chivalry before I change my mind.
00:39:04That's a wish that'd be hard to gratify.
00:39:06Southern homes keep your kind in a stable.
00:39:08Yeah?
00:39:09Well, maybe if you had a meal in a stable once in a while,
00:39:12after a hard day's work, you'd come down off your high horse.
00:39:15You and that rich banker father of yours,
00:39:17living high off of other people and talking big.
00:39:19Never did a day's work in your life, neither of you.
00:39:21You're a liar, Mr. Hale.
00:39:25I'll kick the tradition and chivalry out of you.
00:39:27I'll teach you to...
00:39:55Come out.
00:39:57Come out of your fine house and look at us.
00:40:00Murderers!
00:40:01Go on and tell them, Mrs. Hale.
00:40:03Yes, I'll tell them.
00:40:05You'll have plenty to eat this winter, but what about us?
00:40:08Who's gonna bring in our wheat?
00:40:11Where's my husband?
00:40:14I'll tell you!
00:40:16Murderers!
00:40:17Murdered by your fine young snob of a son!
00:40:21But, Bob, we're not in Maryland or Virginia
00:40:23where the laws are so rigid.
00:40:25This is the frontier.
00:40:26I have the right to have my son released on bail.
00:40:28Set the amount as high as you like.
00:40:30I'll post it in cash right now.
00:40:32Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. McCloud, but I just can't do it.
00:40:34You bought a horse today from Martin Clausen.
00:40:37The fastest horse he owns.
00:40:39Well, that horse could take a man across the border
00:40:42and into safety.
00:40:44Would that be so awful?
00:40:45He's only a boy.
00:40:47He's old enough to carry a gun.
00:40:49And use it.
00:40:50He'll have to stay in my custody.
00:40:52You'll sit there and calmly sentence my boy to death?
00:40:54You cannot do it!
00:40:55But he'll be safe, Mr. McCloud.
00:40:57He'll get a fair trial.
00:40:58I want you to release my boy on bail!
00:41:00Please, Dad.
00:41:01Let me speak to him.
00:41:08Bob, I'm...
00:41:10I'm not going to argue with you about right or wrong
00:41:12or duty or law.
00:41:14I'm...
00:41:15I'm pleading with you for the life of my brother.
00:41:17I... I can't.
00:41:19It... it wouldn't be right.
00:41:21I don't care whether it's right or not.
00:41:23Doesn't it mean something to you
00:41:25that... that I'm asking you to do this for me?
00:41:30That... that boy adores you, Bob.
00:41:32He... he idolizes you.
00:41:34He... he wants to pattern his life after yours.
00:41:36Doesn't that mean something?
00:41:38Mary, I'd like to.
00:41:42Then do it.
00:41:44Do it for me.
00:41:46Do it for me, for him, for all of us.
00:41:50I can't.
00:41:52When I took this job, I...
00:41:56Well, it got under my skin.
00:41:58I took a note that...
00:41:59You took a note the other night that you love me.
00:42:01You asked me to marry you again.
00:42:03You swore that...
00:42:05Bob.
00:42:06Bob, please.
00:42:08Please, I'll... I'll do anything for you.
00:42:10I want you for my wife
00:42:12more than anything else in the world.
00:42:16But not as a bride for your brother.
00:42:22I thought they bred men of flesh and blood in Texas.
00:42:25I was wrong.
00:42:28You're made of granite.
00:42:30No, Mary.
00:42:33Just common clay.
00:42:40It aches kind of hard in Texas.
00:42:46So, Seton promises I'll get a fair trial, does he?
00:42:48Don't lose heart, Fletch.
00:42:50You'll be a free man soon.
00:42:52Don't raise our hopes unless you can do something, Will.
00:42:54I promise you more than your friend the marshal
00:42:56if you leave this all in my hands.
00:43:00Are you sure you're going to vote guilty?
00:43:02That's none of your business.
00:43:04You've got a family and future
00:43:06to think of, farm boy.
00:43:08You've got a family and future
00:43:10to think of, farm boy.
00:43:13Time.
00:43:15You've got a family and future to think of, farmer.
00:43:17When you vote, think of them.
00:43:26Remember that you've got a family and future to think of
00:43:28when you vote, think of them.
00:43:36You've got a family and future to think of
00:43:38when you vote, think of them.
00:43:43Gentlemen,
00:43:45you have heard all the witnesses
00:43:47and now you know the facts.
00:43:49Or shall we say
00:43:51the so-called facts.
00:43:53For it must be obvious
00:43:55that a great deal of this testimony
00:43:57reeks of prejudice.
00:43:59Our community is predominantly northern
00:44:01in its sympathies.
00:44:03Yet the defendant, Fletcher McLeod, is a southerner.
00:44:05He happens to believe
00:44:07in the sovereignty of the South.
00:44:09Believes in it so fervently
00:44:11over the issue.
00:44:13Yet it is his privilege to hold to that belief.
00:44:15It is not within your power
00:44:17to bring Hale back to life.
00:44:21But it is within your power
00:44:23by ruling out that prejudice
00:44:25to which I have referred to
00:44:27and by rendering the proper verdict
00:44:29to give life back to this boy.
00:44:31Look at him, gentlemen.
00:44:35Look at his sister and his father.
00:44:37None deplore the spilling of blood
00:44:39more than they do.
00:44:41Their hearts are full of compassion
00:44:43for the family of the deceased.
00:44:45They are ready and eager
00:44:47to make whatever amends lie within their power.
00:44:49And already they have arranged to see
00:44:51that Mrs. Hale and her children
00:44:53are well cared for.
00:44:55Gentlemen, pain and torture
00:44:57are grim bedfellows.
00:44:59If your verdict be hasty
00:45:01and mistaken,
00:45:03you will forever after know no peace.
00:45:05You don't want a tragic mistake
00:45:07or your consciences to haunt you all
00:45:09at days of your life.
00:45:13You have families
00:45:15and futures to think of
00:45:17when you vote. Think of them.
00:45:19Bear them in mind
00:45:21when you seek a verdict.
00:45:23This same thing might have happened to any one of you
00:45:25or to members of your family.
00:45:27Yours is a solemn,
00:45:29awful responsibility.
00:45:31If you find this boy guilty,
00:45:33you know the penalty,
00:45:35death, swift death for Fletcher McLeod.
00:45:37But an endless
00:45:39living death
00:45:41of fear and terror and torment
00:45:43to each and every one of you
00:45:45who will have wrongly condemned him.
00:45:55Gentlemen of the jury, you have heard the evidence.
00:45:57You may now retire
00:45:59and try to come to a verdict.
00:46:05This message just came over the telegraph, Marshal.
00:46:18What?
00:46:20But it's important, Bob.
00:46:22The judge ought to make an announcement.
00:46:24If they get wind of this before they bring in a verdict,
00:46:26Fletcher's as good as hung.
00:46:35Gentlemen of the jury,
00:46:37you have come to a verdict.
00:46:39Yes, Your Honor.
00:46:41We have.
00:46:43We find Fletcher McLeod
00:46:45not guilty.
00:46:51I'll never be able to repay you, Will.
00:46:53Will, you were magnificent.
00:46:55I'm so happy.
00:47:05Well, I guess you can tell them about this now, Judge.
00:47:15My friends, I have news.
00:47:17Bad news, I fear.
00:47:19The South has seceded from the Union
00:47:21and war has begun.
00:47:35This will not be a war
00:47:37of short duration,
00:47:39as many people think.
00:47:41It will be as deadly
00:47:43and as fiercely fought
00:47:45as any civil war in history.
00:47:47Now, you men have thrown your loyalty to me
00:47:49and that loyalty will be amply rewarded.
00:47:51You're not fighting for the North.
00:47:53You're fighting for the Union.
00:47:55You're fighting for the Union.
00:47:57You're fighting for the Union.
00:47:59You're fighting for the Union.
00:48:01You're fighting for the Union.
00:48:03You're not fighting for the North
00:48:05and you're not fighting for the South.
00:48:07But you're fighting to take what's coming to you.
00:48:09The fine gentlemen
00:48:11of Kansas and Missouri
00:48:13will be fighting each other in a war over something
00:48:15we don't want any part of.
00:48:17And the longer they keep each other busy,
00:48:19the better we're going to like it.
00:48:21We're going to live off the fat of the land
00:48:23and what we don't want we'll burn.
00:48:25I'll show you fellas
00:48:27more liquor than you ever saw
00:48:29before, more money, more
00:48:31anything you want.
00:48:33Come on now, let's take it from them.
00:48:43You hang for this, every last one of you.
00:48:45I'll show you Castellana spends money.
00:49:01What have you got there, Bishop?
00:49:03Nothing but a bunch of uniforms.
00:49:05Burn them up!
00:49:07Uh, I'm sorry, sir,
00:49:09but I can't.
00:49:11I've got to go.
00:49:13I've got to go.
00:49:15I've got to go.
00:49:17I've got to go.
00:49:19I've got to go.
00:49:21I've got to go.
00:49:23I've got to go.
00:49:25I've got to go.
00:49:27I've got to go.
00:49:29Burn them up!
00:49:31Uh, wait a minute, Bishop. Get your men into there.
00:49:33From now on we'll be Confederate soldiers.
00:49:35Come on, deal them out.
00:49:37What?
00:49:39If you're afraid, boys,
00:49:41we ain't asking you to sign.
00:49:43But if you're looking for excitement,
00:49:45get the old John Henry down on paper.
00:49:47What you going to do
00:49:49when you catch him, Doc?
00:49:51Blow the teeth?
00:49:53What?
00:49:55What?
00:49:57What?
00:49:59What?
00:50:01What?
00:50:03What?
00:50:05What?
00:50:07What will you catch him, Doc?
00:50:09Blow the teeth?
00:50:11You should have no difficulty now
00:50:13tracking down those guerrillas
00:50:15why these fine men are ready
00:50:17to lay down their lives if necessary
00:50:19In order that the fair name of Kansas
00:50:21would stand...
00:50:23Just sign it right here, Judge.
00:50:25Well, what's that?
00:50:27Lesman Blank.
00:50:29We can use a smart man like you
00:50:31right up in front.
00:50:33Oh, very funny,
00:50:35very funny indeed.
00:50:37or at least trying to find out who the leader is.
00:50:39Didn't I tell you?
00:50:40I knew this would happen the minute that Lincoln fellow got elected.
00:50:43And if those guerrillas hit this town, they'll clean house.
00:50:45Won't do any more than what the government's doing.
00:50:47They upped our taxes to raise more money for the Northern Army.
00:50:50No worse than the South. They're doing the same thing.
00:50:52I hear Angus McLeod and that crowd has sent plenty down.
00:50:55And whose money is it?
00:50:56It's the money in his bank.
00:50:58Your money he's sending to the South.
00:51:00I warned you before,
00:51:02but you kept saying I was a bit tetched because I'd lost my old man.
00:51:05Well, you're going to pay for it now.
00:51:08You're going to be as poor as me.
00:51:10And you ain't never going to get it back.
00:51:12I'm going to get my money out of that bank.
00:51:14Come on, we want our money.
00:51:16Right.
00:51:27Embarrass your money, Mel Barstow, and shame on you.
00:51:30Who made you a loan when your feet failed?
00:51:32I did, because I had trust in you as an honest man.
00:51:35Well, I'm a better banker than you'll ever be a farmer.
00:51:37All right, on your way.
00:51:39Angus, take over here and pay off as long as you can.
00:51:41Yes, sir.
00:51:43Calm down, folks.
00:51:46This bank's solid.
00:51:47Just because we're recruiting's no sign for you all to run low, Colt.
00:51:51Well, do something. Don't stand there like a bump on a log.
00:51:53They'll get their money if they'll give me time.
00:51:55Their money's safe.
00:51:56They're wheat farmers, aren't they?
00:51:57There never was a war fought, and there never will be.
00:52:00They didn't send the price of wheat sky high.
00:52:02There's nothing I can do about it if they want their money.
00:52:04You've got to send this frenzy away, you flag-waving.
00:52:06You're the law. It's your duty to stop them.
00:52:08Fools, cowards, pack of scared old rabbits.
00:52:11I'll show them.
00:52:13My father's bank is safe.
00:52:15Listen to him.
00:52:18Let's make them listen.
00:52:20Give him a chance to talk to you.
00:52:21Your money's safe. Let him talk.
00:52:23Hey, son.
00:52:25Give me that gun you so fond of talking.
00:52:32That's better.
00:52:34Oh, there's a little quiet.
00:52:36I can tell you what a sniveling, blathering, cowardly lot the numbskulls are.
00:52:40You'll get your money if you give me time.
00:52:43But money's not like water that you can draw out of a spigot.
00:52:46User!
00:52:46Skinflint! A liar! Crook!
00:52:48Call me a skinflint if you like.
00:52:50Call me a user if you ever mind to.
00:52:52But don't call me a thief and a liar.
00:52:54You'll get your money. This bank is sound.
00:52:56Your money's safe. I...
00:53:05That's what comes of carrying a gun, son.
00:53:10Take care of him, Doc.
00:53:11Oh, no! What did he do?
00:53:15Dad!
00:53:16Dad!
00:53:23You're to blame for this.
00:53:25You killed him.
00:53:27You didn't get me, so you got him.
00:53:28Scoundrel!
00:53:29You're to blame for this.
00:53:31You killed him.
00:53:33Steady, boy. Steady.
00:53:39For days and nights I've been waiting for you.
00:53:42Where you been?
00:53:44Tell me the truth.
00:53:46I told you the truth in the army.
00:53:48What army?
00:53:50The Confederate Army.
00:53:52You're lying to me, Will.
00:53:54You ain't fighting for the South or the North.
00:53:56You're fighting with a host of darkness and the devil's riding aside you, son.
00:53:59That's enough. My life's my own and I'm going to live it.
00:54:03Yes, and on the road you've taken, you'll end it, likely enough, on the gallows.
00:54:06I can take care of myself.
00:54:08You don't understand, Ma.
00:54:10Things are different now.
00:54:13You're not going to have to pose as my housekeeper any longer.
00:54:16I'm a rich man.
00:54:18You're going to have fine things to wear.
00:54:21And a big house to live in.
00:54:23And servants.
00:54:26I want no fine house.
00:54:30No servants.
00:54:32For years I've been proud to serve you myself.
00:54:36Helped you.
00:54:38I'll have no part of your new life.
00:54:41Your new riches.
00:54:44People are asking questions why you ain't here, Will.
00:54:47Who?
00:54:49Fletch was here asking for you yesterday.
00:54:51Said his sister's leaving Kansas.
00:54:54Going East.
00:54:57It's funny, isn't it, Will?
00:54:59We can pack things like these so carefully,
00:55:01and yet our plans, our lives even,
00:55:04get smashed no matter what we do.
00:55:07You're much too young to be so bitter and cynical.
00:55:11I don't feel young anymore.
00:55:14Dad's gone.
00:55:16Fletch wants to join the South.
00:55:18I can't stop him.
00:55:20You too.
00:55:22You belong to the Southern armies.
00:55:25You're in danger right now, just by visiting me.
00:55:29I've got to get away from here.
00:55:31I can't stand it any longer.
00:55:33Yes, but where are you going to go?
00:55:35And then what are you going to do when you get there?
00:55:39Don't go East Mary.
00:55:41Come with me.
00:55:44I don't have to tell you that I'm in love with you.
00:55:47And that I've always hoped someday you'd marry me.
00:55:51I don't know.
00:55:54I know, Will.
00:55:56But...
00:55:58No, no. Don't finish it.
00:56:00I know what you're going to say.
00:56:03You're going to say,
00:56:05but I don't love you, Will.
00:56:07Aren't you?
00:56:09Yes, it's true. I don't love you.
00:56:11But I do like you.
00:56:13I always have.
00:56:15You've been a good friend.
00:56:19Mary.
00:56:21Stop packing a minute.
00:56:23Come here.
00:56:27Look at me.
00:56:29Will you marry me?
00:56:33Will, I'm the daughter of a Scotchman.
00:56:35I couldn't marry you unless I gave you my honest opinion first.
00:56:40I think you're making a bad bargain.
00:56:43I've got Scotch blood, too.
00:56:45I won't be the loser.
00:56:47Does that mean you will marry me?
00:56:50Yes, if you want me.
00:56:54Maybe I can teach you to love me.
00:57:00To love, honor, and obey
00:57:02so long as ye both shall live.
00:57:04I do.
00:57:06Then I pronounce you man and wife.
00:57:20Where can I find a marshal?
00:57:22What's up?
00:57:24Bushrop's guerrillas are sacking Thomasville.
00:57:26I'll take you over.
00:57:28Fletch, you take Mary up the house.
00:57:30Will, what is it?
00:57:32I've got to leave.
00:57:34They're not guerrillas he's talking about.
00:57:36They're southern troops, part of my detachment.
00:57:38I know, but why do you have to?
00:57:40If they're not warned, they'll be ambushed and wiped out.
00:57:42I'm going with you. I've been wanting to join anyway.
00:57:44I'll get the horses.
00:57:46Will, I don't understand.
00:57:48I'll see you soon, darling.
00:58:18I'll see you soon, darling.
00:58:48I'll see you soon.
00:59:19Don't fire until I signal.
00:59:21Wait a minute.
00:59:23You can't shoot them down in cold blood.
00:59:25This is war, youngster.
00:59:49Bomb! Bomb!
01:00:11Bomb! Bomb! Come on!
01:00:19Come on!
01:00:29Come on!
01:00:31Come on!

01:02:45Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!
01:02:47I'll save you the trouble, Judge.
01:02:49You want a new man?
01:02:51All right, get one.
01:02:53I've been riding myself saddle-silly
01:02:55and listened to your sniveling long enough.
01:02:57Been staying here against my will as it was,
01:02:59trying to do the decent thing
01:03:01and carry out my end of the deal.
01:03:03Well, you're relieving me of that,
01:03:05and that's fine.
01:03:07Maybe I ought to thank you.
01:03:11Cantrell and his guerrillas
01:03:13have been raiding north, south, east, and west,
01:03:16but they ain't been around Lawrence.
01:03:18Any of you fuddleheads ever stop to figure out
01:03:20that maybe it was because
01:03:22they were afraid to tangle with your late marshal?
01:03:26I've had you in my barber chair
01:03:28day after day,
01:03:30and many's a time
01:03:32I've wanted to slit your fool's throat
01:03:34from ear to ear.
01:03:36Well, I'm glad I didn't now.
01:03:38That'll be something for Cantrell to do
01:03:40when he gets here riding.
01:03:42Well, a point well taken.
01:03:46Ungrateful pack of hyenas.
01:03:48Forget it, Doc.
01:03:52Hey, mister, what's going on up there?
01:03:54They're going to run Cantrell's wife out of town.
01:04:03Why don't you all go upstairs, Miss Mary?
01:04:05Don't listen to that trash out there.
01:04:10What are you standing there for?
01:04:12Didn't Cantrell kill his wife?
01:04:15Didn't Cantrell kill your friends and relatives?
01:04:17She's no better than him.
01:04:19Go on, run her out of town.
01:04:32Where are they here, all of you?
01:04:34He ain't the marshal no more.
01:04:36That's right, I ain't.
01:04:38So your laws don't bother me no more.
01:04:40The next one of you polecats throws anything,
01:04:42he's going to get a law busted right in his face.
01:04:44Now get out.
01:04:46Come on, get out of here.
01:04:48Bring it up here.
01:04:50Come on, get out of here, all of you.
01:04:56Thanks for trying to help.
01:04:58Well, you can't blame them too much.
01:05:02A lot of them have had kinfolk killed.
01:05:04Yes, I know.
01:05:06I'm going.
01:05:08Where?
01:05:10Missouri, near Dorrance.
01:05:13Are these there?
01:05:15Yes, my husband.
01:05:17To him?
01:05:19Yes.
01:05:21Mary, you can't. You're better off here.
01:05:23He's my husband. My place is with him.
01:05:25Well, you know what he is. You've heard the stories.
01:05:27I know the lies that have been printed
01:05:29because this is Kansas and he's fighting for the South.
01:05:31They're not lies.
01:05:33They're the truth.
01:05:35He's nothing but a...
01:05:37You want to believe those lies
01:05:39because you want to believe that I made a mistake.
01:05:42If you have the same mind in the morning,
01:05:44I'll take you to him.
01:05:46I'm leaving Kansas myself.
01:06:12How much further is it to the border?
01:06:14We'll cross it in a couple of hours.
01:06:16Place you're heading for
01:06:18is eight or nine miles down the road.
01:06:20Hill country.
01:06:22They say it's lovely, too.
01:06:24Well, I'm going.
01:06:26I'm going.
01:06:28I'm going.
01:06:30I'm going.
01:06:32I'm going.
01:06:34I'm going.
01:06:36I'm going.
01:06:38I'm going.
01:06:41I don't know what lovely country really is
01:06:43till you've seen Texas.
01:06:45Texas?
01:06:47In the springtime.
01:06:49The range is covered with lupine,
01:06:51bright blue.
01:06:53Blue as your eyes.
01:06:55Well,
01:06:57almost as blue.
01:07:01Bob, I think we'd better get going.
01:07:03Mary, you remember the first time
01:07:05I met you
01:07:07when you kept looking around for my keeper
01:07:09because you thought I was too crazy
01:07:11to be out by myself?
01:07:13Yes.
01:07:15Well, you better start looking around again
01:07:17because I'm going to say something
01:07:19crazier than that.
01:07:23I know you're married to him
01:07:25and I got no right to say this,
01:07:27but I still love you.
01:07:29Oh, Bob.
01:07:31You don't love him. You never did.
01:07:33I got a ranch in Texas.
01:07:35I want to turn this wagon west
01:07:38Will you?
01:07:40Bob, I can't.
01:07:42Please don't say any more.
01:08:08This is where I leave you.
01:08:10Yes.
01:08:22You sure you won't change your mind?
01:08:26No, Bob.
01:08:28Where will you be going?
01:08:30Texas.
01:08:33Where will you be going?
01:08:35Texas.
01:08:41Goodbye, Mary.
01:08:43Goodbye, Bob.
01:09:03Hey, Will.
01:09:05Boys are bringing your wife in.
01:09:07Pick her up outside the can.
01:09:09Come on.
01:09:31Mary, don't.
01:09:36It's been a long time, hasn't it, Will?
01:09:39Mary!
01:09:40Fletch!
01:09:42Oh, Fletch, it's so good to see you again.
01:09:44Listen, sis, you took an awful chance
01:09:46coming across that war territory alone.
01:09:48But I didn't come alone.
01:09:50Bob Seton brought me within a mile from here.
01:09:52Seton?
01:09:54Yes, he was just about the last friend I had in Lawrence.
01:09:56Fletch, as soon as you get those wagons rolling,
01:09:58come back and have dinner with us.
01:10:00Come on, dear.
01:10:09Like it?
01:10:13It's going to be my headquarters permanently,
01:10:15so I wanted to have it just as nice as possible for you.
01:10:17Surprised?
01:10:21I'm amazed.
01:10:23I expected to find you in some shack or...
01:10:27War has made a great change in you, Will.
01:10:31It took a grubbing schoolteacher
01:10:33and made a major out of him.
01:10:35Gave him all this.
01:10:38Where did it all come from?
01:10:40I bet you used to ask that question
01:10:42when you were a little girl,
01:10:44in just that same tone when you found
01:10:46all the presents under the Christmas tree.
01:10:48No, no, I'm serious, Will.
01:10:50I want to know.
01:10:52Well, technically,
01:10:54they're called the spoils of war.
01:10:56And all through the fighting, darling...
01:11:04This will prove that I was thinking of you.
01:11:06Take it.
01:11:10Open it up. It's yours.
01:11:17Will, I want to ask you something.
01:11:19Well?
01:11:21I've heard a lot of ugly stories
01:11:23that you're...
01:11:25Will! Will! Look what we picked up!
01:11:27I had a tough time saving them for you.
01:11:29The boys wanted to trim a tree with them.
01:11:36Bob!
01:11:43Untie him, Bushrop.
01:11:45Mr. Seaton is here as my friend,
01:11:47not as my enemy.
01:11:49And while he's in camp,
01:11:51he's to be treated as my personal guest
01:11:53and shown every courtesy.
01:11:55Yes, sir. As your guest.
01:11:59You'd probably like to wash up a bit.
01:12:01Phil? Yes, sir?
01:12:03Take Mr. Seaton to my quarters
01:12:06You'll find him practically
01:12:08at your beck and call.
01:12:10And later, my wife and I trust
01:12:12that you will do us the honor to dine with us.
01:12:16Thanks.
01:12:21Now, now, now.
01:12:23Don't worry.
01:12:25I'll make myself personally responsible
01:12:27for his safety and comfort.
01:12:36Ah, Seaton,
01:12:38you're prettied up fit to kill.
01:12:40Have a drink.
01:12:42No, thanks.
01:12:46I have a feeling
01:12:48that your stay with us
01:12:50is going to be rather brief,
01:12:52so I'd like to extend every hospitality.
01:12:54Had I known that you were prowling
01:12:56around this neck of the woods,
01:12:58I'd have posted signs saying,
01:13:00keep out. But unfortunately,
01:13:02you couldn't have read them.
01:13:05Uh-huh.
01:13:07There's something that don't quite add up.
01:13:09What's that?
01:13:11General Beauregard and that Fifth Army
01:13:13are a long ways from here.
01:13:15Yet that doohickey on your collar
01:13:17says Fifth Army.
01:13:21What sort of a doohickey
01:13:23would you like on the uniform
01:13:25of your firing squad?
01:13:27Firing squad, eh?
01:13:29Yeah.
01:13:31Oh, that's right.
01:13:34I was figuring it'd be a rope party.
01:13:36Oh, no, Seaton.
01:13:38After all you've done for me,
01:13:40the least I can do for you
01:13:42would be to grant you full military honors.
01:13:46Like the way our mess is run?
01:13:48Pretty good turkey there, isn't it?
01:13:50Yeah.
01:13:52First time I ever had
01:13:54two kinds of bird with one meal.
01:13:56Turkey to eat and buzzard to look at.
01:13:58Put that knife down, Seaton.
01:14:00Heard what he said, didn't you?
01:14:02I'm a fair hand with a boy knife, mister.
01:14:04I'll put this through the first one
01:14:06of you pulls a gun.
01:14:08Oh.
01:14:10Well, we're all famished and waiting for you.
01:14:12I'm sorry I'm late.
01:14:14Sit down here, darling.
01:14:16Seaton, over there.
01:14:18Where's Fletch?
01:14:20Sit down, boy.
01:14:22I came to tell you I'd rather not join you.
01:14:24Why not?
01:14:26Not with Mr. Seaton here.
01:14:29Oh, well, suit yourself, Fletch.
01:14:31We're hungry.
01:14:33Good food, good wine,
01:14:35and good talk.
01:14:37What more could a man ask for?
01:14:39Is that right, Mary?
01:14:41Yes, that's right, except, uh,
01:14:43as Dad used to add, good friends.
01:14:45Oh, yes, of course.
01:14:47And, uh,
01:14:49we're lucky to have such a friend
01:14:51with us tonight.
01:14:53Let's drink to an early peace with honor.
01:14:55All right.
01:14:59And I have a very personal reason
01:15:01for proposing that toast.
01:15:03Something I haven't told you, Mary.
01:15:05Yes, what is it?
01:15:07I've bought a place in Virginia,
01:15:09right in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley,
01:15:11the most beautiful estate you have ever seen.
01:15:13Shenandoah Valley, eh?
01:15:15Uh-huh.
01:15:17That Fifth Army really gets around, don't it?
01:15:19You like Virginia, don't you, Mary?
01:15:21Oh, yes, I think it's lovely there.
01:15:23But, uh, before going,
01:15:25I think I'd enjoy seeing the whole South.
01:15:28Well, why not?
01:15:30The bayou country, Louisiana and Texas,
01:15:32should be interesting.
01:15:34I was just thinking a few minutes ago,
01:15:36I'd...
01:15:38I'd like to go to Texas.
01:15:40Well, if luck's with us,
01:15:42there's no reason why we can't do it.
01:15:44Make a grand tour,
01:15:46including Texas.
01:15:58Yeah!
01:16:14Be sure and make him comfortable
01:16:16on your side of the camp.
01:16:18He needs a good rest.
01:16:27In there.
01:16:58Let him stew for a while.
01:17:00I'm going down there now.
01:17:02No, you let Seton alone.
01:17:04I don't want you going down there.
01:17:06I'll take care of him myself.
01:17:20Give me that gun.
01:17:22Wait outside.
01:17:28Here.
01:17:30Bob, you were right about Cantrell.
01:17:32We've got to get Mary out of here.
01:17:34But, Will, I'm not blind.
01:17:36I've seen enough since I got here
01:17:38to prove that those stories I heard about you and Lawrence are true.
01:17:40I don't care what they think about me and Lawrence
01:17:42or anyplace else.
01:17:44I'm only interested in what you think.
01:17:46For years, I sat in that schoolhouse thinking of you,
01:17:48dreaming of you,
01:17:50and I wanted to be able to offer you the moon on a golden platter.
01:17:52I regret nothing I've done,
01:17:54and I'll do it again.
01:17:56To get you and to keep you.
01:18:00I'm your wife.
01:18:02I came here of my own free will.
01:18:04I'll stay here as your wife
01:18:06on one condition.
01:18:10Something involving Mr. Seton, no doubt.
01:18:12Yes.
01:18:14Safe passage for Mr. Seton through your lines
01:18:16and proof that he got it.
01:18:18All right.
01:18:20For such a prize,
01:18:22I can afford to be generous.
01:18:26Where's Fletch?
01:18:28I think he called on your friend.
01:18:30Nothing to worry about, Mary.
01:18:32I'll be right back.
01:18:38Where'd those shots come from?
01:18:40Fletch in there?
01:18:42Yes, I think he gave it to him.
01:18:44I thought I told you to let her out, mister.
01:18:46I'm sorry.
01:18:48I'm sorry.
01:18:50I'm sorry.
01:18:52I'm sorry.
01:18:55Get over there.
01:18:57Get over.
01:18:59Cover the door, Fletch.
01:19:11Can you get some horses?
01:19:13I've got a team already.
01:19:15You better get Mary.
01:19:17Where will you be?
01:19:19At the bridge.
01:19:25Come on, Fletch.
01:19:27Have yourself a good time.
01:19:35Do we have to go through the camp?
01:19:37That's the only way out.
01:19:39Come on, Fletch.
01:19:41Come on, Fletch.
01:19:43Come on, Fletch.
01:19:45Come on, Fletch.
01:19:47Come on, Fletch.
01:19:49Come on, Fletch.
01:19:51Come on, Fletch.
01:19:53Come on.
01:20:19Cantrell ain't gonna ride Lawrence tonight.
01:20:22Come for me!
01:20:52Get on those horses!
01:20:54First row! Stop that wagon!
01:21:22Come on!
01:21:49Bob, look!
01:21:52Let's go!
01:21:54Let's go!
01:21:56Let's go!
01:22:22What's going on?
01:22:24Doc, wake up the town!
01:22:26Doc, what's up?
01:22:28Get Dr. Lord and bring him to McLeod House.
01:22:30He went to Newton this morning, but I'll take the case.
01:22:40But he needs medical assistance.
01:22:42And he'll get it, lady.
01:22:44You're looking directly at the best doctor west of the Mississippi.
01:22:46Come on, get up!
01:22:50Wake up, everybody!
01:22:52Wake up in there!
01:22:54At this hour of the night, what is it?
01:22:56What's the meaning of this?
01:22:58Camp Trowel and these raiders are coming.
01:23:00Well, that's no reason to get everybody up in the middle of the night.
01:23:02Who? Camp Trowel.
01:23:04What? Oh, the militia. Nobody's here. They're gone.
01:23:06I sent them to Doddstown.
01:23:08He'll burn everybody in their beds like he did at Thomasville.
01:23:14Get the women and children into the town hall. All of them. Fast.
01:23:16What do we do?
01:23:18What do we do? What do we do?
01:23:20I never expected that.
01:23:22I thought it was in Doddstown.
01:23:24We've got to surrender. We've got to surrender, I tell you.
01:23:26Are there any wagons left in town,
01:23:28or did the militia take them all?
01:23:30Yes, I mean, I don't know.
01:23:32Who would have expected that?
01:23:34There are 30 or 40 of them, Marshal.
01:23:36I'll get them. Yes, get them. Get them.
01:23:38Martha, Martha, bring down my gun, the one with the long barrel.
01:23:50Bring on that wagon. Hurry it up.
01:24:20Did you get through to Doddstown?
01:24:48Did you get through to Doddstown?
01:24:50I can't. The lines are down.
01:24:52He's... He's still unconscious, isn't he, Doc?
01:24:54Unlucky. Can't feel any of this.
01:24:56Last time I did an operation, I...
01:24:58When...
01:25:00When was that, Doc?
01:25:02Eleven years ago.
01:25:08I believe in you. I know you can save him.
01:25:10I'm going to try mighty hard, Mary.
01:25:14Do you think you could get some bandages?
01:25:16Oh, sure.
01:25:28I heard your brother was hurt.
01:25:30I come over to see if I could help.
01:25:32How is he?
01:25:34He's badly wounded. He was shot getting away from camp.
01:25:36It's better you ain't alone here.
01:25:38Oh, Mary, hurry up with those bandages.
01:25:40Oh, all right.
01:25:46Come on.
01:26:16I'll handle the situation.
01:26:18There's nothing to worry about.
01:26:20You come!
01:26:40Take cover!
01:26:46We'll have to burn them out.
01:26:48Get a wagon ready.
01:27:12Engine down.
01:27:14Engine tactics.
01:27:26Look out!
01:27:28Get back!
01:27:44I spotted the wagon your wife got away in.
01:27:46It's in front of our house.
01:27:48You know your business here.
01:27:56Hey, Seaton!
01:27:58Cantrell's riding out North Creek Road.
01:28:14Come on.
01:28:44He'll be out in a few minutes.
01:28:50Where are you going, Will?
01:28:52What are you doing here?
01:28:54Where's Mary?
01:28:56She's busy.
01:28:58Will, you ain't going up.
01:29:00Say, what's the matter with you?
01:29:02What's that gun for?
01:29:04It's for you, Will.
01:29:06I thought I'd borned a man-child when I first heard you squalling.
01:29:08But I didn't.
01:29:10I borned a dirty, murdering snake...
01:29:12that's broke my heart to see it crawling along.
01:29:14You're no good, Will.
01:29:16I've killed a lot of men for saying less than that.
01:29:18You've killed a lot of men for saying nothing at all.
01:29:20Candace was red with her bleeding.
01:29:22I'll curse the day I ever had you.
01:29:24Stand where you are, Will!
01:29:26You've done enough to her.
01:29:28You ain't going nigh her again.
01:29:34I'll kill you.
01:29:36Ma! Ma!
01:29:38Speak to me.
01:29:40Ma, are you all right?
01:29:42Ma, I wouldn't have hurt you no matter what happened.
01:29:48I'll kill the man that fired that shot.
01:29:52Give over killing, Will.
01:29:56It won't change nothing now.
01:29:58It won't change nothing now.
01:30:04You're to the end of the road...
01:30:06and the devil's beside you...
01:30:10waiting.
01:30:28Don't.
01:30:52Get out of town!
01:30:54The militia's coming!
01:30:56Get out of town! The militia's coming!
01:31:26Hello, Doc.
01:31:28I'd done it.
01:31:30I remembered how.
01:31:32I was afraid my hands had lost their cunning,
01:31:34but I'd done it.
01:31:36Jumping catfish,
01:31:38I'm out of the barbering business.
01:31:40I'm a practicing physician again.
01:31:56My scissors.
01:31:58Where's my scissors?
01:32:08Don't worry, Doc. Here they are.
01:32:20I guess Lawrence was burned to the ground.
01:32:22Yeah.
01:32:24We got a saying down in Texas
01:32:26that takes a good fire
01:32:28to burn down the weeds.
01:32:30Let the flowers grow.
01:32:32You've got a saying in Texas
01:32:34for just about everything, haven't you?
01:32:36Ever hear what William Shakespeare said?
01:32:40All's well that ends well.
01:32:42Shakespeare, huh?
01:32:44He must have come from Texas.
01:32:46We've been saying that down there for years.
01:32:52Oh, yeah.
