Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:31,268
Professor Vernor? Yes.
2
00:03:31,444 --> 00:03:33,776
I'm Sidney Endermann. Oh, hello.
3
00:03:33,913 --> 00:03:35,972
I thought you'd be
wearing a suit and tie.
4
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,210
Yeah. It's too hot. This way.
5
00:03:38,284 --> 00:03:39,284
Thank you.
6
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:43,147
Ten days, right? How's that?
7
00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:46,602
The time you said you needed to decide
whether or not you'd take the assignment.
8
00:03:46,626 --> 00:03:47,626
Oh, yeah, that's right.
9
00:03:48,428 --> 00:03:51,420
I read Virginia Genesis.
How'd it sell?
10
00:03:51,598 --> 00:03:52,598
Miserably.
11
00:03:53,032 --> 00:03:55,193
Oh. What's your latest one?
12
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:58,932
Great Lakes Ordeal. All
about iron, steel.
13
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:00,597
A lot of immigration, of course.
14
00:04:00,873 --> 00:04:01,873
How's it doing?
15
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:05,639
It's holding its own in
paperback, just barely.
16
00:04:05,878 --> 00:04:08,073
Well, Professor, your
books may not sell,
17
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:10,113
but you have a hell of a
rep in the profession.
18
00:04:10,283 --> 00:04:11,603
I guess the brains
in this country
19
00:04:11,684 --> 00:04:13,515
know a good man when
they read his research.
20
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:16,487
Thanks. Oh, and it's Lew, okay?
21
00:04:16,656 --> 00:04:17,850
Okay. Sid.
22
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:19,289
Sid. Yeah.
23
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:21,452
You live around here, Sid?
New York.
24
00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:23,858
Oh, I'm sorry, I...
No, don't be sorry.
25
00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:26,329
Unless, of course, it's about
my living in New York.
26
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:29,865
What's your hang-up about
writing the article?
27
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:33,900
For openers, it's
already been written.
28
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:36,872
They just want some
letters from me
29
00:04:37,043 --> 00:04:40,501
giving my understanding of what
went on in this part of Colorado
30
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:44,014
between the years 1844 and 1978.
31
00:04:45,251 --> 00:04:47,185
Not much more than
a house report.
32
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:51,516
You know, "Prepared with the
help of Professor Lewis Vernor,
33
00:04:51,724 --> 00:04:54,557
"Department of History,
Georgia Southern."
34
00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:56,753
And you feel like you're
selling out, huh?
35
00:04:57,330 --> 00:05:02,097
Well, it's not exactly the kind
of in-depth research I'm used to.
36
00:05:02,835 --> 00:05:03,879
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
37
00:05:03,903 --> 00:05:07,964
It's all first-class with U.S. Magazine.
Your limousine awaits.
38
00:05:10,209 --> 00:05:13,042
That's how a magazine like U.S.
stays in business.
39
00:05:13,513 --> 00:05:18,007
We work like demons for months on a
project. Greatest writers in America.
40
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:22,643
But in the end, they want someone
with real brains to vet the piece.
41
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:28,491
Facts are important, but understandings,
like they want from you,
42
00:05:28,761 --> 00:05:29,761
that's vital.
43
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:32,658
Oh, I don't know. I do.
44
00:05:33,766 --> 00:05:38,533
Your vanity's been destroyed and your
intellectual integrity's been humiliated.
45
00:05:38,738 --> 00:05:41,366
But they offered to
pay you twice as much
46
00:05:41,441 --> 00:05:43,534
as you'd make teaching for
the same period of time,
47
00:05:43,609 --> 00:05:46,043
so you thought you'd come
and check it out, right?
48
00:05:46,112 --> 00:05:47,579
Something like that.
49
00:05:50,983 --> 00:05:55,249
So what's your involvement, other than
chauffeuring around bruised egos?
50
00:05:55,955 --> 00:05:58,014
What did they tell you?
51
00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:00,582
That you'd meet me,
show me around,
52
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:04,994
and that the magazine is publishing a
double issue on one American community.
53
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:09,167
"The soul of America in
microcosm," I believe,
54
00:06:09,235 --> 00:06:11,203
is the way your
managing editor put it.
55
00:06:11,804 --> 00:06:12,915
What did you say
when they told you
56
00:06:12,939 --> 00:06:14,531
the town they'd picked
was Centennial?
57
00:06:16,275 --> 00:06:17,401
That I'd never heard of it.
58
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:21,109
Which is exactly what
they wanted to hear.
59
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:23,872
Well, that and the
fact that I told them
60
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:26,077
I couldn't believe that anyone
61
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:29,347
would seriously consider the
South Platte River as the...
62
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:33,651
The focus of an article on the
development of American culture.
63
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,791
Too thick to drink,
too thin to plow?
64
00:06:36,696 --> 00:06:37,696
Exactly.
65
00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, there's the Platte.
66
00:06:44,003 --> 00:06:46,096
Not much of a highway
of empire, is it?
67
00:06:46,305 --> 00:06:47,305
Used to be.
68
00:06:47,874 --> 00:06:50,206
It was a hell of a highway once.
69
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:54,137
It brought Pasquinel here.
And Alexander McKeag.
70
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,280
Who?
71
00:06:55,681 --> 00:06:56,978
You'll find out.
72
00:06:57,517 --> 00:07:00,315
If it weren't for them, there
wouldn't be any Centennial.
73
00:07:53,372 --> 00:07:54,862
- Hey, Nate.
- Hey, Sidney.
74
00:07:54,941 --> 00:07:57,239
Mexican food tonight?
You bet. 6:00?
75
00:07:57,376 --> 00:07:58,775
Sounds good. All right.
76
00:07:58,945 --> 00:08:02,005
I thought an historian would want to
stay where a lot of history's been made.
77
00:08:02,081 --> 00:08:03,207
Sounds reasonable.
78
00:08:03,282 --> 00:08:05,060
We'll get you registered, and
then we'll get you oriented.
79
00:08:05,084 --> 00:08:06,084
Okay.
80
00:08:12,925 --> 00:08:15,189
Zendt's Store. That's
where it all started.
81
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:17,922
Zendt? Mmm-hmm. Levi Zendt.
82
00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:19,664
You're gonna love him.
83
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:23,298
And his wife, Elly, and his
second wife, Lucinda McKeag.
84
00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:27,037
You mentioned that
name McKeag before.
85
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,507
Wait a minute, I seem to hear
a distant bell going off.
86
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:33,110
Was he a trader? A mountain man?
87
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:34,643
He was a legend.
88
00:08:34,947 --> 00:08:36,346
One worth knowing and recording,
89
00:08:36,449 --> 00:08:38,383
so that the rest of the
country can know, too.
90
00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:39,484
Come on.
91
00:08:43,823 --> 00:08:46,792
Manolo Marquez and his family live
down the other end of this street.
92
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:49,223
That's another whole story.
93
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:51,762
And then there are two more
places that really count.
94
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:53,627
The Wendell place... Yeah.
95
00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:55,690
And Paul Garrett's
spread, The Venneford.
96
00:08:55,768 --> 00:08:57,463
That's the cattle ranch.
Mmm-hmm.
97
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,935
It was owned by Earl
Venneford of Wye.
98
00:09:00,006 --> 00:09:02,372
The greatest cattle-rancher
in the West.
99
00:09:02,675 --> 00:09:04,472
Does the earl have a
place in my story?
100
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:06,872
Only if you want him to.
101
00:09:07,046 --> 00:09:09,276
The ranch is really the
heart of the story.
102
00:09:10,016 --> 00:09:11,483
This is cattle country
103
00:09:12,018 --> 00:09:14,919
and there wasn't a cow north
to Wyoming or east to Nebraska
104
00:09:14,987 --> 00:09:18,081
that didn't bear the Crown
Vee brand for a long time.
105
00:09:20,192 --> 00:09:21,750
There's your truck.
106
00:09:21,827 --> 00:09:24,421
No, that's his truck.
107
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:27,858
Who's he? Cisco Calendar.
108
00:09:29,201 --> 00:09:30,759
Calendar, the singer?
109
00:09:30,836 --> 00:09:32,463
Yeah, that's him.
110
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:35,339
What's he, uh...
What's he doing here?
111
00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:36,508
He lives here.
112
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:38,120
I know, he could afford
to live anywhere,
113
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:40,476
but this is where his
family's always lived.
114
00:09:40,546 --> 00:09:42,673
Cisco! I thought you
were in Chicago.
115
00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:44,045
I just got back.
116
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:47,944
Well, I'd like you to meet somebody.
Lew Vernor, Cisco Calendar.
117
00:09:48,287 --> 00:09:49,618
Hello. Howdy.
118
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:51,788
Saw the truck down at the hotel.
119
00:09:52,625 --> 00:09:54,185
I thought you might
come looking for it.
120
00:09:54,627 --> 00:09:57,425
Um, I borrowed the truck to
pick Lew up at the airport.
121
00:09:57,496 --> 00:09:59,396
I was just giving him a tour.
122
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:00,765
I saw.
123
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:04,559
Think we might take a trip
up to Blue Valley again?
124
00:10:05,371 --> 00:10:07,669
That's a wonderful idea.
Lew, would you like...
125
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:10,333
Oh, no, no thanks. I'd like
to look around some more.
126
00:10:10,409 --> 00:10:11,467
You go ahead.
127
00:10:12,011 --> 00:10:14,639
You're sure? Oh, absolutely.
Nice to meet you.
128
00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:16,247
Same.
129
00:10:16,415 --> 00:10:17,415
Bye.
130
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,234
I've been working on
a song about you.
131
00:10:23,689 --> 00:10:25,316
You haven't. I have.
132
00:10:27,059 --> 00:10:30,460
♪ I guess she'd
rather be in Colorado
133
00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:35,959
♪ I guess she'd rather be out
where the sky looks like a pearl
134
00:10:36,702 --> 00:10:38,169
♪ After the rain ♪
135
00:11:00,526 --> 00:11:01,891
Howdy. Hi.
136
00:11:01,961 --> 00:11:02,961
What're you doing?
137
00:11:03,262 --> 00:11:04,991
Going to build a
bridge over the creek,
138
00:11:05,464 --> 00:11:07,022
so the big trucks from the West
139
00:11:07,099 --> 00:11:09,067
can make it to the plant easier.
Oh.
140
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,136
That's enough!
141
00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:14,138
I said, that's enough.
142
00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:17,535
Hey, damn it.
143
00:11:18,444 --> 00:11:20,036
I said that's enough!
144
00:11:20,312 --> 00:11:21,711
What is it? What?
145
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:23,280
The hole here. What is it?
146
00:11:23,382 --> 00:11:24,382
I don't know.
147
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:26,777
I don't want this fool
getting hurt on my property.
148
00:11:28,054 --> 00:11:30,174
I said that's enough. You're
gonna get yourself killed.
149
00:11:30,556 --> 00:11:31,989
They told me to work here.
150
00:11:32,124 --> 00:11:33,785
Well, I'm telling you
to work over there.
151
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:34,859
Who are you?
152
00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:36,447
Morgan Wendell, and
I own this property
153
00:11:36,495 --> 00:11:38,015
and I'm telling you
to work over there.
154
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:39,698
Okay.
155
00:11:44,603 --> 00:11:45,603
What is that?
156
00:11:46,138 --> 00:11:47,138
Sinkhole.
157
00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:50,272
Watch your step. It could
be hollow through here.
158
00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:53,471
No sense in poking around here.
159
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:55,005
Are you all right?
160
00:11:56,482 --> 00:11:57,847
All right?
161
00:11:58,184 --> 00:12:00,880
I'm fine. I'd just appreciate
it if you'd stay clear.
162
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:03,253
I don't want anyone getting
in any accidents around here.
163
00:14:43,782 --> 00:14:45,272
My family made it big here
164
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:47,911
by picking the right place
to be at the right time.
165
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:49,598
Now, the man who
gets this office
166
00:14:49,622 --> 00:14:53,023
can write his own ticket in this
state for the next 20 years.
167
00:14:53,092 --> 00:14:55,720
I want you both to start
working on the governor.
168
00:14:55,794 --> 00:14:59,252
Tell him that we're singing his
praises every inch of the way,
169
00:14:59,465 --> 00:15:02,093
but we want to know that we can
count on him to do the same for us.
170
00:15:03,302 --> 00:15:04,769
Now, if you need any help,
171
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,995
the names on this list
should carry enough clout...
172
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:09,597
Mr. Wendell, he's coming.
173
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:10,742
Oh.
174
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:12,838
Thanks, Eddie.
175
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:14,078
There you go.
176
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,770
Thank you, Mr. Wendell.
177
00:15:15,848 --> 00:15:17,839
See you boys later. You bet.
178
00:15:25,157 --> 00:15:26,385
Professor Vernor?
179
00:15:26,458 --> 00:15:28,136
I thought that was you. I'm
glad to bump into you again.
180
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,472
Morgan Wendell. You were out to
my place earlier this morning
181
00:15:30,496 --> 00:15:32,407
when that workman nearly ran
his rig into that sinkhole.
182
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:33,431
Oh, right.
183
00:15:33,532 --> 00:15:35,295
Well, I didn't realize
who you were then.
184
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:37,164
I just wanted to apologize
for my manners.
185
00:15:37,236 --> 00:15:38,726
Oh, that isn't necessary, Mr.
Wendell.
186
00:15:38,804 --> 00:15:41,516
Well, you see, it's just that we have a
lot of kids fooling around down there.
187
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:42,751
Sometimes they hurt themselves.
188
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:44,853
It's inconvenient having somebody
come after you all the time
189
00:15:44,877 --> 00:15:47,022
when it's something you have no
control over. You know what I mean?
190
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:48,046
Certainly.
191
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:50,410
I understand you're doing
a piece on Centennial.
192
00:15:50,549 --> 00:15:51,549
I may, yes.
193
00:15:52,351 --> 00:15:54,376
Well, I've got deep roots here, Mr.
Vernor.
194
00:15:54,486 --> 00:15:55,544
Real deep.
195
00:15:55,654 --> 00:15:57,315
And I can't tell
you how proud I am
196
00:15:57,389 --> 00:16:00,222
that they picked our town to write
about and for you to do the writing.
197
00:16:00,592 --> 00:16:02,150
Thank you, Mr. Wendell.
198
00:16:02,328 --> 00:16:06,264
I haven't absolutely decided that
I will write the article as yet.
199
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:08,376
You don't think they're going
to let you get away, do you?
200
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,731
A magazine as important as U.S.?
201
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:11,861
They need people like
you to keep on top.
202
00:16:11,937 --> 00:16:15,100
So people like me can be sure that
when I read a fact, it's a fact.
203
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:17,108
Anyway, I want you to know
I'm available anytime
204
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:19,087
to give you the facts on
how this town got started
205
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:21,079
and how my grandfather
helped put it on the map.
206
00:16:21,947 --> 00:16:23,175
You'll forgive me, I hope,
207
00:16:23,248 --> 00:16:25,773
but as yet, I know
nothing of the town.
208
00:16:25,851 --> 00:16:27,182
No history, no names.
209
00:16:27,252 --> 00:16:29,220
Well, that's the way it
should be, shouldn't it?
210
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:31,855
No prejudices, no
preconceptions.
211
00:16:31,924 --> 00:16:33,551
Let me give you my card.
212
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:35,456
I don't mean to crowd you,
213
00:16:35,794 --> 00:16:38,729
but this town is the most important
place in the world to me.
214
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:42,563
My grandparents came here
during real hard times
215
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:44,431
and they found the
American dream.
216
00:16:51,944 --> 00:16:54,538
Hi, Sid, Nate. Hey, Paul.
217
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:56,647
Join you? Sure, sit down.
218
00:16:57,249 --> 00:16:59,581
I haven't seen Cisco
around lately.
219
00:16:59,651 --> 00:17:02,051
Nobody has. Except Sidney here.
220
00:17:02,421 --> 00:17:03,718
He's been writing.
221
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:06,484
He's had a parcel of inspiration,
I can tell you that much.
222
00:17:06,825 --> 00:17:08,087
You're terrible.
223
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:09,360
Lew!
224
00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:12,096
Hi.
225
00:17:12,231 --> 00:17:15,029
Say hi to Paul Garrett. Paul,
this is Lew Vernor. Mr. Vernor.
226
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:18,501
We're trying to get him to do the real
work on our story about Centennial.
227
00:17:18,570 --> 00:17:20,128
This is Nate Person. Sit down.
228
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:21,229
Hi. Howdy.
229
00:17:21,306 --> 00:17:23,051
We're just going to have a
couple of beers, thank you.
230
00:17:23,075 --> 00:17:25,270
And Nate may not be the
greatest barber in the world,
231
00:17:25,344 --> 00:17:27,744
but this is the man who knows
where all the bodies are buried.
232
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:31,981
And our host, Manolo Marquez.
Lew Vernor.
233
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:33,848
Do you like Mexican food?
234
00:17:34,286 --> 00:17:36,811
I don't know. It's not all
that popular in Georgia.
235
00:17:37,856 --> 00:17:39,200
Well, this is the
place to find out.
236
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:41,351
I'll bring you an order.
The best of everything.
237
00:17:42,127 --> 00:17:44,254
Nothing for me, Manolo,
I've gotta get back.
238
00:17:44,329 --> 00:17:45,455
I'm sorry I'm late.
239
00:17:45,531 --> 00:17:47,624
I ran into a fellow I
couldn't get away from.
240
00:17:47,699 --> 00:17:49,462
Oh, who? Who else?
241
00:17:50,202 --> 00:17:52,670
Had to be Morgan Wendell, right?
242
00:17:52,871 --> 00:17:54,065
How'd you know?
243
00:17:54,139 --> 00:17:57,006
Well, you're writing an article
for a high-powered magazine,
244
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:58,976
he's going heavy into politics,
245
00:17:59,044 --> 00:18:00,922
won't hurt him none to have
folks all around the country
246
00:18:00,946 --> 00:18:02,538
reading about him
and his family.
247
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:05,273
'Course, depends
on what they read.
248
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:07,844
His version or my daddy's.
249
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:08,920
Nate.
250
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:12,648
Lew, what did he want?
251
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:17,427
Well, nothing. Just said he wanted
to help out any way he could.
252
00:18:17,496 --> 00:18:20,124
He didn't mention anything
about politics or a campaign.
253
00:18:20,199 --> 00:18:21,564
Of course not.
254
00:18:21,867 --> 00:18:26,236
Anything a Wendell does is only out
of concern for somebody else, right?
255
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:30,034
They sure know how to sell,
that's for dang sure.
256
00:18:30,809 --> 00:18:33,937
And old Morgan's trying to sell
himself right into the state capital
257
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:35,546
and who knows what else.
258
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:37,380
Washington, maybe.
259
00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:40,174
Wouldn't it beat all?
260
00:18:40,719 --> 00:18:42,209
A Wendell in Washington?
261
00:18:44,556 --> 00:18:46,183
No editorials from me.
262
00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:47,738
It's their town you
wanna write about.
263
00:18:49,661 --> 00:18:50,753
What's he running for?
264
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:54,355
Well, it's a new office. Commissioner
of Resources and Priorities.
265
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:56,967
The idea is to elect a person
266
00:18:57,035 --> 00:19:00,596
that will help the governor make the
right ecological and industrial choices.
267
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,069
I've never heard of that one.
268
00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:06,938
We're a pioneer state, Mr.
Vernor.
269
00:19:07,045 --> 00:19:09,343
People around here have
always been willing
270
00:19:09,448 --> 00:19:12,144
to try a new approach to things.
Even politics.
271
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:15,476
We led the nation in
old-age pensions,
272
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:18,421
proper funding of education,
liberal labor laws.
273
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:20,952
Turned down the '76
Winter Olympics
274
00:19:21,059 --> 00:19:23,459
because we thought it might be
destructive to the environment.
275
00:19:24,196 --> 00:19:25,322
Well, Wendell didn't.
276
00:19:26,265 --> 00:19:27,823
I'm not defending Wendell, Nate.
277
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:30,494
Just his right to change his
mind about the way he feels.
278
00:19:30,569 --> 00:19:32,969
Are you gonna vote for him?
A Wendell?
279
00:19:33,338 --> 00:19:35,499
Far as I know, his is the
only name on the ballot.
280
00:19:35,707 --> 00:19:36,765
Well, yours could be.
281
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:40,437
And I know for a fact that the
governor asked you himself to run.
282
00:19:41,413 --> 00:19:44,041
Well, I've got a ranch to run.
Takes up all my time.
283
00:19:44,149 --> 00:19:46,674
Manolo, when Flor comes in,
284
00:19:46,785 --> 00:19:48,184
tell her I'll call her later.
285
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:50,514
Paul... I wish I could tell
her you've changed your mind
286
00:19:50,589 --> 00:19:51,789
about running against Wendell.
287
00:19:51,957 --> 00:19:54,653
Excuse me. Any chance you could
carve out some time for Lew?
288
00:19:54,726 --> 00:19:55,886
Tomorrow morning?
289
00:19:56,395 --> 00:19:57,395
Fine.
290
00:19:57,663 --> 00:20:00,063
You an early riser, Mr.
Vernor? Sure.
291
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,327
It'll take some time
to see the Venneford.
292
00:20:03,435 --> 00:20:04,435
Thanks, Paul.
293
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:07,703
You really want to do something
294
00:20:07,773 --> 00:20:09,502
for this part of the
country, Professor?
295
00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:12,235
Well, you and Sidney
go to work on that man
296
00:20:12,311 --> 00:20:14,745
and get him into
politics himself.
297
00:20:15,247 --> 00:20:17,272
And you tell me that
I'm not right, Manolo.
298
00:20:17,482 --> 00:20:20,042
You're right, amigo.
Wendell should be stopped.
299
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:22,199
And Paul Garrett is the
only man who could do it.
300
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:24,182
That's right.
301
00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:28,084
It won't take you a long time to find out.
He is Colorado.
302
00:20:53,785 --> 00:20:55,275
A breeding book.
303
00:20:55,887 --> 00:20:58,048
History of the Venneford bulls.
304
00:20:58,223 --> 00:21:01,192
Over there inside the back of the
book it's got the family, too.
305
00:21:01,393 --> 00:21:03,293
All the way back to
the fifth generation.
306
00:21:05,831 --> 00:21:09,232
The Garretts came down from Montana.
They were English stock.
307
00:21:09,301 --> 00:21:11,735
The Messmores and the
Bucklands were, too.
308
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:17,138
The Lloyds were Welsh. They emigrated
to Tennessee and then Texas.
309
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:20,670
And old Patrick Beeley was
a hard drinking Irishman.
310
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:22,947
Amazing.
311
00:21:23,048 --> 00:21:24,845
Pasquinel... Yeah,
he was French.
312
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:28,243
Zendt, Skimmerhorn and
Bockweiss were Germans.
313
00:21:28,854 --> 00:21:30,344
Deal was Dutch.
314
00:21:30,422 --> 00:21:33,585
Red Wolf and Pale Star
were full-blooded Arapaho.
315
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,890
And Lucinda McKeag
316
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:39,362
was Pasquinel's half-breed daughter
by a squaw named Clay Basket.
317
00:21:39,931 --> 00:21:42,456
She was the daughter of
a great Arapaho leader.
318
00:21:44,569 --> 00:21:45,866
Pretty mixed up.
319
00:21:46,238 --> 00:21:48,229
It was damned near incestuous.
320
00:21:50,008 --> 00:21:52,203
You want some more coffee?
No, thank you.
321
00:21:52,544 --> 00:21:53,984
If you turn to the
front of the book,
322
00:21:54,012 --> 00:21:57,413
you'll find the history of
some of those great old bulls
323
00:21:57,482 --> 00:22:00,144
had some pretty close
breeding in it, too.
324
00:22:00,619 --> 00:22:02,177
Come on, bring it with you.
325
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:04,950
We gotta get airborne if we're
gonna see this ranch. Okay.
326
00:22:32,617 --> 00:22:34,050
Lucinda McKeag.
327
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,917
You say she was
Pasquinel's daughter?
328
00:22:36,988 --> 00:22:38,717
Yeah, she was one of them.
329
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:43,089
The other was Maxwell
Mercy's wife, Lisette.
330
00:22:44,162 --> 00:22:47,461
She was born to Pasquinel's St.
Louis wife,
331
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,994
Lise Bockweiss.
332
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:54,164
Then Pasquinel is responsible for
the development of the whole area?
333
00:22:54,239 --> 00:22:57,208
And Alexander McKeag. But
Pasquinel came first.
334
00:22:57,309 --> 00:23:01,211
He paddled a birch bark up the
Platte all the way from St. Louis.
335
00:23:02,781 --> 00:23:04,442
He was a courier du bois.
336
00:23:05,317 --> 00:23:07,308
One who runs in the woods.
337
00:23:07,686 --> 00:23:09,654
A Frenchman from Quebec.
338
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:13,419
And the first white man the
Arapaho had ever seen.
339
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:16,259
He traded with them
for beaver pelts.
340
00:23:17,996 --> 00:23:20,760
And Lame Beaver let him know
he was welcome to come back.
341
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:36,411
He traded with the Pawnee, too.
And he won their respect.
342
00:23:37,482 --> 00:23:40,110
Because he came to
them without fear.
343
00:23:41,052 --> 00:23:43,350
He found McKeag
in a Pawnee camp,
344
00:23:43,522 --> 00:23:44,802
and he was able to save his life
345
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:47,381
because the Indians believed
he was a man of his word.
346
00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:50,327
A man they could trust.
347
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:52,992
McKeag stayed with Pasquinel.
348
00:23:53,665 --> 00:23:56,498
And they explored a virgin
wilderness together.
349
00:23:57,836 --> 00:24:00,066
And Pasquinel taught
McKeag how to survive.
350
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:03,339
Don't fire.
351
00:24:21,393 --> 00:24:22,917
You were way high both times!
352
00:24:23,728 --> 00:24:26,219
I hit what I wanted.
Yeah, the wind.
353
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:30,029
If you give an Indian a fair
chance, you can avoid killing.
354
00:24:36,441 --> 00:24:37,840
They're going to charge again.
355
00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:42,237
We'll give them this one
and then they'll be gone.
356
00:24:43,048 --> 00:24:45,414
In years to come they will
sit around the campfire
357
00:24:45,584 --> 00:24:48,212
and talk about the coup they
made on the two white men.
358
00:24:48,453 --> 00:24:49,784
And the whistling lead.
359
00:24:50,322 --> 00:24:54,281
And you will sit in Scotland and
talk about the tomahawks and lances.
360
00:24:58,363 --> 00:25:00,422
Their story's an
important story.
361
00:25:00,899 --> 00:25:03,367
The story of men who
lived a life of freedom
362
00:25:03,435 --> 00:25:05,300
not many others have ever known.
363
00:25:06,805 --> 00:25:08,830
And what McKeag learned
from Pasquinel,
364
00:25:08,907 --> 00:25:12,399
he passed on to another important
man in this part of the country.
365
00:25:13,278 --> 00:25:14,802
His name was Levi Zendt.
366
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:19,410
He'd been headed for Oregon, but like
a lot of others, he had to turn back.
367
00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:20,518
Levi,
368
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:23,451
a wheel give out?
369
00:25:24,756 --> 00:25:25,756
After we did.
370
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:27,725
What?
371
00:25:28,927 --> 00:25:30,121
We turned around.
372
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:31,195
Why?
373
00:25:31,396 --> 00:25:33,193
I saw the elephant.
374
00:25:34,299 --> 00:25:35,630
Oh, I don't believe that.
375
00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:37,401
Why not?
376
00:25:37,502 --> 00:25:39,231
Well, a man doesn't
spin a tale that tall
377
00:25:39,304 --> 00:25:41,499
unless he's hiding a
mountain of fear.
378
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,337
I don't see that in you.
379
00:25:44,342 --> 00:25:47,277
Well, it doesn't matter.
Fact is, we quit.
380
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,011
I was wondering if...
381
00:25:53,785 --> 00:25:55,753
No, I don't suppose
you'd consider it.
382
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:56,820
What?
383
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:00,350
Oh, just an old man's
foolish dream.
384
00:26:00,492 --> 00:26:04,258
It wouldn't be fair to a young
one with the makings you have.
385
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:06,764
What?
386
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:11,594
Well, I told you I wanted
to start another store
387
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:13,194
for trading with the Indians.
388
00:26:13,271 --> 00:26:15,296
On that land down south of
here near Beaver Creek.
389
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:19,007
The place you trapped with your partner?
Pasquinel.
390
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:21,739
I just had a funny feeling
391
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:24,371
maybe you'd take to it the
same way he and I did.
392
00:26:29,521 --> 00:26:32,251
I don't even have to see it
to know that for a fact.
393
00:26:42,334 --> 00:26:46,134
Levi and his wife Elly headed
south with McKeag and his family
394
00:26:47,172 --> 00:26:50,232
and camped at a place
called Rattlesnake Cliffs.
395
00:26:52,510 --> 00:26:53,841
McKEAG: There it is.
396
00:27:48,566 --> 00:27:49,566
What is it?
397
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:50,634
Snake bite.
398
00:28:07,318 --> 00:28:08,580
She was down low.
399
00:28:11,089 --> 00:28:12,089
Elly?
400
00:28:12,490 --> 00:28:13,490
Elly!
401
00:28:14,826 --> 00:28:15,826
Elly!
402
00:28:15,894 --> 00:28:17,919
It's God's mercy, son.
403
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:21,088
I've seen them die slow. Believe
me, it's better this way.
404
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Levi...
405
00:28:23,868 --> 00:28:24,868
Elly!
406
00:28:28,573 --> 00:28:29,573
Elly...
407
00:29:04,509 --> 00:29:05,509
Ellie died.
408
00:29:08,146 --> 00:29:12,480
But Levi stayed on with McKeag and
they built a trading post together.
409
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:16,816
McKeag went to St. Louis
and brought back goods
410
00:29:16,955 --> 00:29:19,423
and they made a real go
of it out there alone.
411
00:29:19,924 --> 00:29:24,293
Because McKeag had learned from Pasquinel
that the secret was to show no fear.
412
00:29:24,529 --> 00:29:27,225
And Levi Zendt learned the
same lesson from McKeag.
413
00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:33,128
Why?
414
00:29:33,204 --> 00:29:34,398
He was Pawnee.
415
00:29:34,472 --> 00:29:37,908
He was a boy. He was
warrior prepared to die.
416
00:29:38,209 --> 00:29:39,209
Are you?
417
00:29:41,379 --> 00:29:43,099
Before I'll watch you
commit another murder.
418
00:29:47,352 --> 00:29:50,116
Don't you let Pawnee on
our land again. Ever!
419
00:29:50,188 --> 00:29:52,053
This land is McKeag's and mine.
420
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:53,385
Clay Basket's!
421
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:56,086
And when she dies, ours.
His and mine.
422
00:29:57,729 --> 00:30:01,165
If you want the exact
figures, Jake, 40% is mine.
423
00:30:01,332 --> 00:30:03,425
And when I marry
Lucinda, it'll be half.
424
00:30:03,568 --> 00:30:04,830
Marry Lucinda?
425
00:30:08,239 --> 00:30:10,036
You going to marry Lucinda?
426
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:12,505
This land is ours
427
00:30:12,777 --> 00:30:15,439
and when we tell you to
get off, you get off.
428
00:30:15,947 --> 00:30:17,744
Otherwise, it will all go.
429
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:19,244
We kill you all!
430
00:30:28,793 --> 00:30:32,593
It's easy to kill with a
dozen others behind you.
431
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:36,958
Your father was a
brave man, they say.
432
00:30:37,402 --> 00:30:40,371
I figure if he'd seen what just
happened, he'd have been sick.
433
00:30:45,977 --> 00:30:47,501
You keep the trading post.
434
00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:52,049
No harm.
435
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:08,627
One white man alone who
understood the Indians
436
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:11,669
couldn't stop others who didn't
take the time to learn, though.
437
00:31:11,736 --> 00:31:14,796
And when the men who came
looking for gold got there,
438
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:18,309
they were in too big a rush
to want to learn anything.
439
00:31:21,012 --> 00:31:23,879
They're the ones who really
started the Indian wars.
440
00:31:27,252 --> 00:31:29,516
And it cost a lot of
good people dearly.
441
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:48,164
The trading post Zendt built
with McKeag was burned down.
442
00:31:48,306 --> 00:31:50,297
But he and Lucinda
built a new one.
443
00:31:50,875 --> 00:31:53,070
Right on the spot
where it sits today.
444
00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:56,240
Another important man
came along about then.
445
00:31:57,482 --> 00:31:59,609
His name was Hans Brumbaugh.
446
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:01,514
He was a Volga Deutschman.
447
00:32:01,719 --> 00:32:05,621
And he was the first white man to really
make use of the river since Pasquinel.
448
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:13,162
This is my land, huh?
449
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:15,891
Mine.
450
00:32:18,536 --> 00:32:20,470
And I'll grow potatoes.
451
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:24,467
And I'll be king of potatoes.
452
00:32:24,575 --> 00:32:27,009
Potatoes Brumbaugh. That's me.
453
00:32:28,012 --> 00:32:29,274
That's good, huh?
454
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:30,573
Potatoes Brumbaugh.
455
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:37,345
So the river really was
the highway of empire.
456
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:39,822
Sure was.
457
00:32:40,358 --> 00:32:43,725
Now it's being treated like
a sewer in some places
458
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:46,721
and being sucked dry at that.
459
00:33:21,065 --> 00:33:22,142
Until I tell you different,
460
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:25,829
everything you see down there once
belonged to Earl Venneford of Wye.
461
00:33:26,637 --> 00:33:28,798
Incredible. It's so vacant.
462
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:32,571
I guess it's never been good
for much but running cattle.
463
00:33:32,777 --> 00:33:34,301
Yeah, and barely good for that.
464
00:33:34,379 --> 00:33:38,008
It takes about 60 acres to
support one cow and calf unit.
465
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:41,384
Sidney says you
bought some of it.
466
00:33:41,753 --> 00:33:42,811
Yeah.
467
00:33:42,887 --> 00:33:45,515
Only about 130,000 acres.
468
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:47,347
Maybe it's the best part.
469
00:33:48,593 --> 00:33:49,992
It's a challenge.
470
00:33:51,562 --> 00:33:54,463
And back east, how
many acres to a unit?
471
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:59,829
Well, my uncle in Virginia needs
one acre for what you call a unit.
472
00:33:59,937 --> 00:34:02,462
But, see, it's bottom
land along the river.
473
00:34:02,673 --> 00:34:04,903
That's the difference between
Virginia and Colorado.
474
00:34:05,076 --> 00:34:07,806
One to an acre your way,
one to sixty our way.
475
00:34:09,247 --> 00:34:11,738
I guess it makes your land
60 times better than ours,
476
00:34:11,816 --> 00:34:15,115
but we work 70 times harder, so we
come out a little bit ahead, huh?
477
00:34:17,989 --> 00:34:19,456
How much land was there?
478
00:34:20,124 --> 00:34:23,685
Well, 180 miles east-west,
479
00:34:24,695 --> 00:34:26,219
50 miles north-south.
480
00:34:26,330 --> 00:34:27,661
About six million acres.
481
00:34:29,434 --> 00:34:32,494
When my great-grandfather,
Jim Lloyd, was foreman,
482
00:34:32,570 --> 00:34:35,505
he said that he could inspect
about 10 miles a day.
483
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:39,005
About 18 days to cover
just the middle.
484
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:41,204
Forget the north
and south borders.
485
00:34:42,647 --> 00:34:44,979
You said the Lloyds
were from Texas?
486
00:34:45,316 --> 00:34:48,581
Yeah. He came north on the first drive.
The Skimmerhorn drive?
487
00:34:48,653 --> 00:34:51,417
No, Skimmerhorn went to
Texas to get the cows.
488
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:54,422
But R.J. Poteet made
the drive north.
489
00:34:54,792 --> 00:34:55,992
Do you mind if I turn this on?
490
00:34:56,194 --> 00:34:57,194
No, go ahead.
491
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:00,761
R.J. Poteet drove them north.
492
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:03,596
That'd be 1868?
493
00:35:03,701 --> 00:35:04,701
That's right.
494
00:35:05,002 --> 00:35:06,970
Jim Lloyd was just a boy.
495
00:35:07,038 --> 00:35:08,232
Did he tell you about it?
496
00:35:08,706 --> 00:35:10,901
Well, he claimed he
grew old telling me.
497
00:35:12,543 --> 00:35:16,639
You can imagine what it was like for
a kid about eight or nine years old,
498
00:35:16,814 --> 00:35:20,807
listening to his grandpa telling him
stories about adventures he had.
499
00:35:21,986 --> 00:35:25,080
Adventures he knew he was never
gonna see in his lifetime.
500
00:35:27,458 --> 00:35:28,891
Can I help you, son?
501
00:35:29,193 --> 00:35:31,559
Yes, sir, I'm looking for Mr.
R.J. Poteet.
502
00:35:31,829 --> 00:35:32,829
You found him.
503
00:35:33,898 --> 00:35:37,390
Mr. Poteet, my ma says to
please ride over and see her.
504
00:35:37,535 --> 00:35:38,535
Who's your ma?
505
00:35:38,736 --> 00:35:39,736
Emma Lloyd.
506
00:35:40,571 --> 00:35:42,266
You Tom Lloyd's boy?
507
00:35:43,007 --> 00:35:44,007
Yes, sir.
508
00:35:46,077 --> 00:35:47,544
Well, how is ol' Tom?
509
00:35:51,315 --> 00:35:52,646
He's dead.
510
00:35:53,251 --> 00:35:54,616
He didn't get back from the war.
511
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:58,149
What's your name, son?
512
00:35:58,222 --> 00:35:59,222
Jim.
513
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:28,185
Emma.
514
00:36:28,352 --> 00:36:33,187
R.J.! Bless me, you look just fine.
Just fine.
515
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:36,658
Jim here told me that Tom
didn't make it back.
516
00:36:37,728 --> 00:36:39,127
Him and too many others.
517
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:40,596
What can I do for you?
518
00:36:41,399 --> 00:36:43,697
I need you to buy
my cattle, R.J.
519
00:36:43,768 --> 00:36:45,099
Well, Emma,
520
00:36:45,603 --> 00:36:48,094
we just got about every
head that we need.
521
00:36:49,273 --> 00:36:50,672
Well, I'm sure of it, R.J,
522
00:36:51,909 --> 00:36:54,810
but, well, we haven't had a cent
of spending money in over a year
523
00:36:55,780 --> 00:36:57,645
and I just gotta sell my cattle.
524
00:36:58,983 --> 00:37:00,416
How many kids you got?
525
00:37:00,484 --> 00:37:01,610
Three boys.
526
00:37:01,686 --> 00:37:02,914
Jim's the oldest.
527
00:37:02,987 --> 00:37:04,477
Could I see the others?
528
00:37:06,824 --> 00:37:08,416
Boys, come on out here.
529
00:37:14,999 --> 00:37:17,627
This is J.C. and
this is little Tom.
530
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:20,594
He does favor him some.
531
00:37:21,672 --> 00:37:24,004
Boys, this is Mr. R.J. Poteet.
532
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:27,076
A good friend of your
father's for many years.
533
00:37:27,478 --> 00:37:28,775
And of mine.
534
00:37:28,879 --> 00:37:29,879
Howdy.
535
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:31,915
J.C.
536
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:37,020
Now, the reason that I'm here,
537
00:37:38,155 --> 00:37:40,623
is because your brother
told me about your pa,
538
00:37:41,125 --> 00:37:44,117
and I reckon that if it was me that
didn't make it back instead of him,
539
00:37:44,195 --> 00:37:48,791
I'd like to think that he'd look
in on my family, if they ask.
540
00:38:01,145 --> 00:38:04,376
I'll take your cattle, Emma. How
many you got? A hundred and fifty.
541
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:06,075
I'll take them on consignment.
542
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:08,880
Two dollars a head now, plus
whatever I can get at Fort Sumner.
543
00:38:09,053 --> 00:38:11,544
Oh, thank God. God
bless you, R.J.
544
00:38:16,927 --> 00:38:17,927
Jim...
545
00:38:23,267 --> 00:38:24,666
There's one more thing.
546
00:38:24,869 --> 00:38:25,995
Now what's that?
547
00:38:28,105 --> 00:38:29,834
Would you consider
taking Jim with you?
548
00:38:33,277 --> 00:38:35,211
I've seen you ride.
Can you throw a rope?
549
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:36,772
Yes, sir.
550
00:38:37,415 --> 00:38:38,415
It's a deal.
551
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:42,318
But when the trail's over,
you don't get any wages.
552
00:38:45,423 --> 00:38:46,423
Why not?
553
00:38:47,124 --> 00:38:49,217
Because I'm giving them
to your mother now.
554
00:38:59,770 --> 00:39:01,135
Tough way to grow up.
555
00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:03,435
Well, he didn't
have much choice.
556
00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:07,142
The north was hungry for beef and
Texas was just plain hungry.
557
00:39:07,912 --> 00:39:09,209
Did he ever go back?
558
00:39:09,947 --> 00:39:12,415
He told me that after
he saw Colorado,
559
00:39:12,483 --> 00:39:15,213
there was nowhere else on
earth that he wanted to live.
560
00:39:16,554 --> 00:39:19,614
And I grew up around here and I think
I pretty much feel the same way.
561
00:39:19,690 --> 00:39:20,690
Mmm.
562
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:23,556
You mentioned a fellow named Nate.
Mmm?
563
00:39:24,295 --> 00:39:27,594
Any relation to Nate Person?
Yeah, his grandfather.
564
00:39:27,732 --> 00:39:29,996
He was Poteet's right-hand man.
565
00:39:30,534 --> 00:39:34,664
He was the only black man that ever
rode point on the Skimmerhorn trail.
566
00:39:42,346 --> 00:39:43,346
Gap's dead ahead.
567
00:39:43,948 --> 00:39:45,973
Fourteen miles past
it's the Pecos.
568
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:47,582
How's the water?
569
00:39:48,452 --> 00:39:49,452
Sweet in one spot.
570
00:39:49,687 --> 00:39:51,780
North and south, it's all stagnant.
Pure alkali.
571
00:39:51,856 --> 00:39:53,187
Kill every cow that drinks it.
572
00:39:53,257 --> 00:39:54,257
Is it marked?
573
00:39:54,592 --> 00:39:56,822
There's a sign says
Horsehead Crossing.
574
00:39:56,927 --> 00:39:58,394
A line of skulls tell you why.
575
00:40:26,590 --> 00:40:28,182
Watch where you pass!
576
00:40:30,361 --> 00:40:31,361
Bring it up!
577
00:40:58,789 --> 00:41:00,017
Dust, hell.
578
00:41:00,391 --> 00:41:04,122
That alkali weren't nothing to what
me and ol' O.D. Cleaver come through
579
00:41:04,261 --> 00:41:06,957
when we was finishing up
an Indian scout one time.
580
00:41:07,031 --> 00:41:08,931
Nothing could have been
worse than that alkali.
581
00:41:08,999 --> 00:41:09,999
I don't see how.
582
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:11,362
I'll tell you how.
583
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:14,765
The wind never stopped
blowing, that's how.
584
00:41:15,072 --> 00:41:16,664
For three days and three nights.
585
00:41:17,007 --> 00:41:18,975
The sand covered up
every blade of grass,
586
00:41:19,043 --> 00:41:20,374
even the mesquite bushes.
587
00:41:21,212 --> 00:41:23,009
We was riding down
through the sand hills
588
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,207
between El Paso and Alamogordo.
589
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:28,046
Now you know what that's like.
I'll take it to that alkali.
590
00:41:28,285 --> 00:41:30,617
Well, that's 'cause you wasn't
there when we found the hat.
591
00:41:32,223 --> 00:41:33,918
The hat? Yes, sir.
592
00:41:34,024 --> 00:41:37,892
A man's hat lying there on top a
sand dome when the wind died down.
593
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:41,765
Real nice hat, too. Like someone
cared for it real good.
594
00:41:42,533 --> 00:41:43,533
So ol' O.D.,
595
00:41:44,034 --> 00:41:46,525
he climbs down to pick
it up, don't you know.
596
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,265
And smack underneath
it, there's a head.
597
00:41:53,043 --> 00:41:54,043
A head?
598
00:41:55,312 --> 00:41:56,312
What'd you do?
599
00:41:56,580 --> 00:41:59,276
Well, I climbed down
beside ol' O.D.
600
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:02,418
We started scratching the sand
out of the eyes and the ears,
601
00:42:02,486 --> 00:42:04,181
and the mouth with our fingers.
602
00:42:04,655 --> 00:42:06,122
Then danged if that ol' head
603
00:42:06,190 --> 00:42:08,590
didn't look right smack
up at both of us
604
00:42:09,126 --> 00:42:10,423
and started talking.
605
00:42:10,861 --> 00:42:12,488
It talked? That's right.
606
00:42:12,963 --> 00:42:13,963
What did it say?
607
00:42:14,798 --> 00:42:18,495
It says, "Get a shovel,
boys, I'm on horseback."
608
00:42:23,507 --> 00:42:26,738
But it wasn't all yarn-spinning
and eating trail dust.
609
00:42:26,810 --> 00:42:30,143
There was danger, too.
The outlaws and Indians.
610
00:43:34,411 --> 00:43:35,935
All right, boys.
611
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,045
Hold your fire.
612
00:43:41,819 --> 00:43:43,878
You held them, boys!
You held them!
613
00:43:44,388 --> 00:43:45,787
They won't be coming back.
614
00:43:46,123 --> 00:43:47,683
You all right, Mr. Skimmerhorn?
Yes, sir.
615
00:43:47,758 --> 00:43:49,669
Good work, Nate. You all
ought to have seen old Jim.
616
00:43:49,693 --> 00:43:52,355
He dropped that chief when
he was right on top of me.
617
00:43:52,496 --> 00:43:54,987
I killed him? I sure
as hell didn't.
618
00:43:55,532 --> 00:43:57,193
Somebody else's bullet, maybe.
619
00:43:57,334 --> 00:43:59,302
No, sir. Chief was yours, Jim.
620
00:44:00,704 --> 00:44:02,262
Quite a breed of men.
621
00:44:02,339 --> 00:44:03,806
Yes, they were.
622
00:44:04,375 --> 00:44:09,335
You know, Nate and Bufe Coker the
rebel died not far from here.
623
00:44:09,847 --> 00:44:12,577
They were fighting side
by side in the range war.
624
00:44:13,083 --> 00:44:16,348
Cisco Calendar's
great-grandfather, Amos,
625
00:44:16,420 --> 00:44:20,151
he was a buffalo hunter for a while
until he started to herd sheep
626
00:44:20,224 --> 00:44:23,625
with Nate and Coker for my
great-grandfather on my father's side.
627
00:44:23,694 --> 00:44:25,389
Messmore Garrett. Sheep?
628
00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:29,629
Yeah, he started with sheep but he had
the good sense to switch to cattle.
629
00:44:30,701 --> 00:44:32,692
The cowboy made this state.
630
00:44:33,604 --> 00:44:36,232
He carved out the trail
we're flying over now.
631
00:44:42,513 --> 00:44:45,004
Coker, they're
straying over there.
632
00:44:45,182 --> 00:44:46,182
Yes, boss.
633
00:44:49,186 --> 00:44:53,179
Jim, well, this is
the trail's end.
634
00:44:53,924 --> 00:44:54,924
I heard.
635
00:44:55,859 --> 00:44:57,224
I'd like...
636
00:44:57,394 --> 00:45:00,420
I'd like for you to
hear something from me.
637
00:45:01,532 --> 00:45:02,532
Sir?
638
00:45:03,067 --> 00:45:06,127
You know, if I was your own pa,
639
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:09,502
I couldn't be prouder of the
way that you've come through.
640
00:45:09,573 --> 00:45:11,165
I'd like to shake your hand.
641
00:45:12,076 --> 00:45:14,408
Thank you, Mr. Poteet.
You betcha.
642
00:45:14,912 --> 00:45:17,142
I'd like to give you
something, too.
643
00:45:17,948 --> 00:45:18,948
Oh, no, sir.
644
00:45:19,116 --> 00:45:20,242
That wasn't our deal.
645
00:45:23,554 --> 00:45:25,078
All right, son.
646
00:45:26,523 --> 00:45:28,923
Well, you think you'll be
sticking with this kind of work?
647
00:45:30,594 --> 00:45:32,494
Yeah, if I can find it.
648
00:45:33,764 --> 00:45:36,892
Well, the trick is finding men
like you that will do it.
649
00:45:39,703 --> 00:45:43,400
It's a big, wind-blistered world
we're riding through, Jim.
650
00:45:45,476 --> 00:45:47,637
I just hope it'll last
a little while longer.
651
00:45:48,345 --> 00:45:49,437
Why wouldn't it?
652
00:45:50,781 --> 00:45:54,547
Well, because when
men like you and me
653
00:45:54,618 --> 00:45:56,882
point the way to where
a town can be built,
654
00:45:56,954 --> 00:45:59,320
then other men come along
and they build it.
655
00:46:00,557 --> 00:46:02,787
Settlers that want a home,
656
00:46:03,093 --> 00:46:04,890
or a title, a piece of ground.
657
00:46:04,962 --> 00:46:06,327
And they'll kill to keep it.
658
00:46:08,065 --> 00:46:11,592
But if you're as much like me as I think
you are, you won't fight for that.
659
00:46:12,636 --> 00:46:15,298
You'll only care about what
you're responsible for.
660
00:46:15,372 --> 00:46:17,465
Your horse and your herd.
661
00:46:20,844 --> 00:46:22,436
I don't know, Jim. Maybe...
662
00:46:24,381 --> 00:46:26,849
Maybe we're just too restless
to inherit the earth.
663
00:46:29,153 --> 00:46:30,153
Hmm?
664
00:46:56,413 --> 00:46:59,473
- He did inherit it, though.
- A large part of it, anyway.
665
00:47:00,751 --> 00:47:02,343
How did he wind up
owning the ranch?
666
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,314
Luck of the draw.
667
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:08,087
A wealthy widow fell in love with
him and made him a wealthy man.
668
00:47:08,458 --> 00:47:11,052
Your great-grandmother. That
would be Charlotte Buckland?
669
00:47:11,128 --> 00:47:14,097
Quite a lady. And quite a
story in her own right.
670
00:47:14,164 --> 00:47:16,098
Sidney said I'd
need a lot of tape.
671
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,265
Well, we got a lot of history.
672
00:47:19,403 --> 00:47:21,496
But the men that followed
that herd north,
673
00:47:21,572 --> 00:47:23,665
those are the men you
gotta focus on here.
674
00:47:25,209 --> 00:47:28,804
Without the cattle, there
wouldn't be a Colorado.
675
00:48:00,944 --> 00:48:04,675
Morgan, Vernor's just trying to get
a slant on the story, that's all.
676
00:48:05,182 --> 00:48:07,742
Besides, what could he possibly
do that would hurt you?
677
00:48:07,951 --> 00:48:10,886
That's an important magazine, Dennis.
It's got millions of readers.
678
00:48:11,054 --> 00:48:12,487
And what they write
about my family
679
00:48:12,556 --> 00:48:14,601
can affect what I'm after in
the next couple of years.
680
00:48:14,625 --> 00:48:17,890
Are you talking about that gossip
of how your granddad got started?
681
00:48:18,228 --> 00:48:20,526
Morg, my daddy used
to tell us that one
682
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:22,155
when we were just
little squirts.
683
00:48:22,232 --> 00:48:25,895
Hell, in a town like this, everybody's
got a story or two they're not proud of.
684
00:48:25,969 --> 00:48:28,563
Well, I'm proud of my family.
Damn proud.
685
00:48:29,006 --> 00:48:31,600
I don't want that story turning
up in print right now.
686
00:48:31,909 --> 00:48:33,501
Simms and Riggs have
been watching him.
687
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:35,521
Said he hasn't done anything
out of the ordinary.
688
00:48:35,545 --> 00:48:36,978
He's been with Paul Garrett.
689
00:48:37,681 --> 00:48:40,878
Garrett's got a big story to tell, Morg.
You know that.
690
00:48:41,084 --> 00:48:44,542
If I were writing for that magazine,
I'd be pumping his well dry myself.
691
00:48:44,821 --> 00:48:48,018
You afraid ol' Paul might still
wanna jump in on this seat?
692
00:48:48,158 --> 00:48:50,183
I'm not afraid of Paul Garrett.
693
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:52,922
I just don't want anyone
upsetting my plans right now.
694
00:48:53,130 --> 00:48:55,155
We've got a perfect
setup going here.
695
00:48:55,232 --> 00:48:58,065
A campaign for a real
public service showcase.
696
00:48:58,135 --> 00:49:00,501
A chance to push an image
the public wants to buy.
697
00:49:00,904 --> 00:49:02,882
Now the right words about me
and my family in that magazine
698
00:49:02,906 --> 00:49:04,339
can put us over the hump.
699
00:49:04,474 --> 00:49:06,237
The wrong words
can flush it all.
700
00:49:06,443 --> 00:49:07,443
Understand?
701
00:49:14,418 --> 00:49:15,942
That's got to be good food.
702
00:49:17,087 --> 00:49:19,749
It always tastes better after
than it does going down.
703
00:49:19,823 --> 00:49:20,823
Thank you.
704
00:49:21,091 --> 00:49:22,201
Sort of puts your
stomach in synch
705
00:49:22,225 --> 00:49:24,090
with the rest of the
world, doesn't it? Yeah.
706
00:49:25,095 --> 00:49:27,461
So tell me, are we in synch?
707
00:49:28,699 --> 00:49:30,633
I've still got
eight days, right?
708
00:49:30,834 --> 00:49:33,302
Just didn't think it would
take you that long.
709
00:49:33,603 --> 00:49:36,231
How long did it take you?
To do what?
710
00:49:37,007 --> 00:49:39,237
Write the story I'm
here to fortify.
711
00:49:42,879 --> 00:49:44,141
They did tell you.
712
00:49:44,681 --> 00:49:46,046
Your friends did.
713
00:49:46,350 --> 00:49:47,840
The way they treat you.
714
00:49:52,255 --> 00:49:54,314
So, how long did you
do research here?
715
00:49:55,025 --> 00:49:56,253
Five months.
716
00:49:57,461 --> 00:49:58,621
Disappointed?
717
00:49:59,429 --> 00:50:04,298
No, it was just that at first I thought
you were someone who, you know...
718
00:50:04,468 --> 00:50:06,595
Yeah, that was helping
somebody else out?
719
00:50:07,204 --> 00:50:09,138
Someone more important
than myself, huh?
720
00:50:09,973 --> 00:50:10,973
I'm sorry.
721
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:14,776
But your magazine has asked
me to spend a lot of time
722
00:50:14,845 --> 00:50:16,506
doing something
you've already done.
723
00:50:18,015 --> 00:50:19,448
Can I ask you a question?
724
00:50:19,616 --> 00:50:20,616
Sure.
725
00:50:20,984 --> 00:50:23,384
I expect it. I know how
important this is to you.
726
00:50:24,921 --> 00:50:27,685
What's your judgment of
the Skimmerhorn massacre?
727
00:50:28,525 --> 00:50:29,685
Oh, no.
728
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,557
That's your job to tell
us what you think.
729
00:50:35,699 --> 00:50:38,463
Have you done any work on the
reports of Maxwell Mercy?
730
00:50:39,903 --> 00:50:42,531
Lew, you're an ace.
You're a real ace.
731
00:50:43,607 --> 00:50:47,236
I did my master's thesis under Allan
Nevins at Columbia University
732
00:50:47,544 --> 00:50:50,240
on some unpublished letters
I found of Captain Mercy's.
733
00:50:50,881 --> 00:50:52,121
And on my bedroom wall at home,
734
00:50:52,182 --> 00:50:53,479
I have an old photograph of him
735
00:50:53,550 --> 00:50:55,313
taken by Jackson
at Fort Laramie.
736
00:50:56,386 --> 00:50:57,630
And for your personal
information,
737
00:50:57,654 --> 00:50:59,849
I got damn near
straight As at Illinois
738
00:51:00,090 --> 00:51:03,355
and honors at the University of
Chicago, where I took my doctorate.
739
00:51:05,195 --> 00:51:08,460
Well, Doctor, you really
love this, don't you?
740
00:51:08,598 --> 00:51:09,758
Yeah, I do.
741
00:51:10,133 --> 00:51:13,330
And I really need you to make things hum.
To make them work.
742
00:51:13,470 --> 00:51:14,937
To make them live.
743
00:51:19,042 --> 00:51:21,476
What about the creek? Anything
important happen here?
744
00:51:21,978 --> 00:51:23,309
What makes you ask?
745
00:51:23,647 --> 00:51:26,047
A little something I came
across when I first got here.
746
00:51:27,918 --> 00:51:30,409
This is the spot where Pasquinel
and McKeag set up camp
747
00:51:30,487 --> 00:51:32,921
the first time they
traded with the Arapahos.
748
00:51:33,223 --> 00:51:34,656
How long ago was that?
749
00:51:35,025 --> 00:51:37,619
They were the first white
men to come down the river.
750
00:51:37,694 --> 00:51:39,457
That was nearly two
centuries ago.
751
00:51:39,763 --> 00:51:42,283
You're supposed to be getting this
information from other people.
752
00:51:43,133 --> 00:51:44,930
Could Morgan Wendell tell me?
753
00:51:45,102 --> 00:51:47,434
About Pasquinel and McKeag? No.
754
00:51:47,671 --> 00:51:49,935
His family didn't get
here until the 1880s. Ah.
755
00:51:51,108 --> 00:51:53,167
What's their connection
with the creek?
756
00:51:53,343 --> 00:51:55,208
Oh, you've been doing
your homework.
757
00:51:55,679 --> 00:51:57,340
You heard about
the scandal, hmm?
758
00:51:58,014 --> 00:51:59,014
Scandal?
759
00:51:59,082 --> 00:52:00,082
Yeah, the murder.
760
00:52:01,084 --> 00:52:02,676
On this land? Their land?
761
00:52:02,752 --> 00:52:04,151
It wasn't theirs at the time.
762
00:52:04,321 --> 00:52:07,166
But that's what some people say, that's
how they got their money to pay for it.
763
00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:08,418
They killed for it?
764
00:52:08,925 --> 00:52:12,053
That's what Nate Person said.
And Manolo says it's true, too.
765
00:52:12,429 --> 00:52:13,828
What about Paul Garrett?
766
00:52:14,631 --> 00:52:16,394
No, he just sort of
disregards anything
767
00:52:16,466 --> 00:52:17,933
that doesn't concern
him directly.
768
00:52:18,869 --> 00:52:19,869
What happened?
769
00:52:20,770 --> 00:52:23,864
Lew, I'm supposed to be making
you do your own research.
770
00:52:24,508 --> 00:52:27,102
Okay, how's this?
771
00:52:28,078 --> 00:52:30,103
What is it? What
does it look like?
772
00:52:31,181 --> 00:52:32,443
Is it human?
773
00:52:32,616 --> 00:52:33,981
I'd say so.
774
00:52:35,051 --> 00:52:36,484
Did you find it here?
775
00:52:37,087 --> 00:52:40,420
No. It's just something I carry around
to startle bright young journalists
776
00:52:40,490 --> 00:52:41,923
I meet in small Western towns.
777
00:52:41,992 --> 00:52:44,586
No, I'm serious. Did
you find it here?
778
00:52:44,728 --> 00:52:45,728
Right there.
779
00:52:46,997 --> 00:52:49,642
They were digging a hole to pour a
foundation for the bridge abutment.
780
00:52:49,666 --> 00:52:51,327
They must've broken
through an old cave.
781
00:52:51,902 --> 00:52:53,767
Then Dumire was right.
782
00:52:53,837 --> 00:52:54,929
Dumire?
783
00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:57,116
He was the sheriff here when
the territory became a state.
784
00:52:57,140 --> 00:52:58,471
Axel Dumire was his name.
785
00:52:58,909 --> 00:53:01,571
He swore that the Wendells got their
start by committing a murder.
786
00:53:01,678 --> 00:53:04,078
But he could never prove it because
he couldn't find the body.
787
00:53:19,095 --> 00:53:21,757
Morgan's grandfather, Mervin,
did arrive without a penny.
788
00:53:21,898 --> 00:53:23,525
But according to Sheriff Dumire,
789
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,161
the fortune he made here was founded
on blackmail and blood money.
790
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:32,403
Mr. Wendell, ain't it?
791
00:53:32,976 --> 00:53:35,843
Sheriff. What a surprise.
792
00:53:36,112 --> 00:53:38,012
Maude, for heaven's
sake, look who's here.
793
00:53:38,114 --> 00:53:39,114
Yes.
794
00:53:39,549 --> 00:53:41,813
Well, how have you
been, old man?
795
00:53:41,885 --> 00:53:44,445
Your trunks are
on the cart, sir.
796
00:53:44,554 --> 00:53:46,021
Oh, thank you, lad.
797
00:53:46,089 --> 00:53:47,089
Here you go.
798
00:53:48,358 --> 00:53:49,825
Oh, Lord.
799
00:53:50,660 --> 00:53:53,458
I don't suppose you'd be able
to change a $20 gold piece?
800
00:53:54,397 --> 00:53:55,955
I don't suppose I would.
801
00:53:56,032 --> 00:53:57,124
Oh.
802
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,532
Well, no matter. I'll
catch you next time.
803
00:54:01,671 --> 00:54:04,765
There it is, the Railway Arms.
See it, dear?
804
00:54:05,809 --> 00:54:06,809
Oh, yes.
805
00:54:06,876 --> 00:54:09,470
Have them send someone
for the trunks. Yes.
806
00:54:09,546 --> 00:54:10,808
Come, Philip.
807
00:54:15,352 --> 00:54:18,412
How long are you planning to
stay with us in Centennial?
808
00:54:18,655 --> 00:54:20,179
Two performances, sir.
809
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:22,817
And of course there will be a free
pass for you at the box office.
810
00:54:23,393 --> 00:54:26,157
And of course you're planning to
pay your bills before you leave.
811
00:54:28,898 --> 00:54:29,990
Sheriff.
812
00:54:32,469 --> 00:54:35,063
I told you the Railway Arms
had seen a lot of history.
813
00:54:35,305 --> 00:54:38,502
Well, it saw the first performance
in Centennial by the Wendells.
814
00:54:45,181 --> 00:54:46,181
Bravo!
815
00:54:49,686 --> 00:54:51,244
But some of their
better performances
816
00:54:51,321 --> 00:54:53,152
were held for private audiences.
817
00:54:53,423 --> 00:54:55,288
At least, Dumire thought so.
818
00:54:57,827 --> 00:54:59,852
Like the one for Reverend
Holly, the local minister,
819
00:54:59,929 --> 00:55:02,989
who let the Wendells move into
a house he owned, rent-free.
820
00:55:03,333 --> 00:55:05,961
A performance Dumire
called the badger game.
821
00:55:06,469 --> 00:55:07,469
Maude?
822
00:55:08,805 --> 00:55:10,864
Maude, I'm home. Are you here?
823
00:55:16,046 --> 00:55:17,046
Maude...
824
00:55:17,314 --> 00:55:19,214
Mr. Wendell, listen
to me, please...
825
00:55:20,050 --> 00:55:21,711
You filth!
826
00:55:22,552 --> 00:55:24,452
Mr. Wendell, I'm so sorry.
827
00:55:24,554 --> 00:55:26,112
And so pious!
828
00:55:26,756 --> 00:55:28,053
So sanctimonious!
829
00:55:29,759 --> 00:55:32,523
Where's your Bible now, Pastor?
830
00:55:32,595 --> 00:55:34,995
About goodness and
innocence and trust.
831
00:55:35,165 --> 00:55:36,962
Oh please, you can't
say anything to me
832
00:55:37,033 --> 00:55:39,024
that I haven't already
said to myself.
833
00:55:40,036 --> 00:55:42,664
How did this happen? I don't
know how this happened.
834
00:55:42,972 --> 00:55:45,031
It's as much my
fault as it is his.
835
00:55:45,241 --> 00:55:47,086
If you're going to shoot,
then shoot both of us.
836
00:55:47,110 --> 00:55:49,601
Yes, don't worry
about that, madam.
837
00:55:50,013 --> 00:55:51,037
You'll pay!
838
00:55:51,114 --> 00:55:54,015
Please, we've
admitted our guilt.
839
00:55:54,884 --> 00:55:56,215
We'll do anything.
840
00:55:56,319 --> 00:55:57,319
Yes, anything.
841
00:55:57,354 --> 00:55:59,288
Shut your mouth, sir!
842
00:55:59,356 --> 00:56:01,119
If for one second you believe
843
00:56:01,224 --> 00:56:03,202
that there's anything more
important to me than honor...
844
00:56:03,226 --> 00:56:05,751
Oh no, no. Of course not. I
didn't mean that at all.
845
00:56:06,830 --> 00:56:08,263
But to scar your
son like this...
846
00:56:09,032 --> 00:56:10,032
He's right.
847
00:56:11,167 --> 00:56:13,863
Why... Why should you
want to punish Philip?
848
00:56:14,337 --> 00:56:16,771
Please let me... Let me try to
make this up to you somehow.
849
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,570
Let me... Let me
give you something.
850
00:56:19,642 --> 00:56:21,109
Something for Philip's sake.
851
00:56:21,644 --> 00:56:23,544
I don't have very much, but...
852
00:56:23,780 --> 00:56:26,613
Well, I don't know, perhaps...
853
00:56:28,218 --> 00:56:30,584
Some kind of security
for his future.
854
00:56:32,355 --> 00:56:33,652
The deed.
855
00:56:34,257 --> 00:56:35,315
The what?
856
00:56:35,392 --> 00:56:36,950
I want the deed to this house.
857
00:56:37,327 --> 00:56:38,967
That would be something
permanent for him.
858
00:56:39,396 --> 00:56:40,624
That's scandalous.
859
00:56:41,831 --> 00:56:42,831
Scandalous?
860
00:56:44,901 --> 00:56:47,461
You talk to me of scandal?
861
00:56:48,338 --> 00:56:50,203
I'll show you scandal, sir.
862
00:56:50,340 --> 00:56:51,807
No, wait!
863
00:56:55,412 --> 00:56:56,811
The house is yours.
864
00:57:25,175 --> 00:57:26,175
Shh...
865
00:57:27,977 --> 00:57:30,070
The badger game.
That isn't murder.
866
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,510
No, the murder came when
a man named Sorenson
867
00:57:32,749 --> 00:57:34,444
saw through what
they were up to.
868
00:57:34,517 --> 00:57:37,577
But Dumire couldn't prove it. Well,
he couldn't find what you found.
869
00:57:38,688 --> 00:57:40,553
Well, Sidney, we... We're not...
870
00:57:40,623 --> 00:57:42,614
Lew, Dumire swore
871
00:57:42,692 --> 00:57:45,024
that Sorenson's body is buried
somewhere in that creek.
872
00:57:45,094 --> 00:57:46,118
Yeah, yeah.
873
00:57:46,196 --> 00:57:49,597
But first, we don't know whether this
thing I found is actually human.
874
00:57:49,899 --> 00:57:52,163
Second, we don't know how old it is.
And third...
875
00:57:52,235 --> 00:57:55,170
Then I will go to New York. I will
take it to a lab and have it examined,
876
00:57:55,238 --> 00:57:56,899
I will call you... And third,
877
00:57:56,973 --> 00:57:59,601
if those two guys in the pickup
truck are friends of Wendell's,
878
00:57:59,676 --> 00:58:00,820
it wouldn't be the
smartest thing
879
00:58:00,844 --> 00:58:02,106
either one of us could ever do
880
00:58:02,178 --> 00:58:04,418
to make a lot of noise about
this thing right now, anyway.
881
00:58:04,447 --> 00:58:05,447
Don't look at 'em.
882
00:58:06,216 --> 00:58:07,478
How long have they been there?
883
00:58:07,684 --> 00:58:09,811
Well, when we came out of
Manolo's they were there.
884
00:58:09,919 --> 00:58:11,944
And this is the third time
they've been by here.
885
00:58:12,155 --> 00:58:13,349
Why?
886
00:58:14,724 --> 00:58:17,693
Maybe Wendell has more parts
to the puzzle than we do.
887
00:58:18,027 --> 00:58:19,747
Lew, I don't know what
you're talking about.
888
00:58:20,997 --> 00:58:23,727
I saw him take out of there what
could have been a complete skeleton.
889
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:26,232
That's how I got this
little number in my pocket.
890
00:58:27,804 --> 00:58:29,328
Just laugh a little,
891
00:58:29,405 --> 00:58:32,340
and act interested in
anything besides that cave.
892
00:58:47,957 --> 00:58:49,584
Who do you suppose they were?
893
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,552
Probably a couple of researchers
894
00:58:52,629 --> 00:58:54,654
doing a piece on Centennial.
895
00:58:55,064 --> 00:58:56,064
Funny.
896
00:58:57,166 --> 00:58:59,691
Not so funny if they go
to press before we do.
897
00:59:02,505 --> 00:59:03,505
We?
898
00:59:05,742 --> 00:59:07,004
I'm afraid I'm hooked.
899
00:59:07,577 --> 00:59:10,375
On doing the assignment, or
playing Sherlock Holmes?
900
00:59:11,414 --> 00:59:12,414
Both.
901
00:59:15,285 --> 00:59:16,485
I hate leaving you here alone.
902
00:59:16,553 --> 00:59:19,021
I wish you would at least
talk to the sheriff.
903
00:59:19,556 --> 00:59:21,547
Is he related to Axel Dumire?
904
00:59:23,192 --> 00:59:24,591
You're impossible.
905
00:59:24,894 --> 00:59:27,419
Look, Sid, It's the
20th century, right?
906
00:59:27,597 --> 00:59:30,896
Men have walked on the moon and
are headed for planets beyond.
907
00:59:31,301 --> 00:59:34,828
A murder that may or may not have
been committed 100 years ago
908
00:59:34,904 --> 00:59:36,462
isn't going to place
us in jeopardy.
909
00:59:36,673 --> 00:59:38,971
It was 90 years ago,
and it did happen.
910
00:59:39,042 --> 00:59:42,569
According to Dumire's diary, he had
everything but the corpus delicti.
911
00:59:43,980 --> 00:59:46,210
He was on to them
from the beginning.
912
00:59:50,219 --> 00:59:51,948
You Mervin Wendell's boy?
913
00:59:52,388 --> 00:59:53,388
Yes, sir.
914
00:59:53,489 --> 00:59:55,184
What's your name?
915
00:59:55,491 --> 00:59:56,491
Philip.
916
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,791
Come down to see
your dad do his job?
917
01:00:00,129 --> 01:00:01,129
Yes, sir.
918
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,495
Well, he's a real hard worker.
919
01:00:05,802 --> 01:00:08,430
Job don't pay much. Only
about four dollars a week.
920
01:00:09,405 --> 01:00:10,765
Hardly enough to
keep a bird alive.
921
01:00:10,807 --> 01:00:13,071
You look like you're
eating all right, though.
922
01:00:14,143 --> 01:00:15,440
Got some new clothes?
923
01:00:16,279 --> 01:00:19,214
Yup. Well, I think
someone gave them to us.
924
01:00:22,285 --> 01:00:23,775
Good talking to you, Phil.
925
01:00:25,321 --> 01:00:27,653
Morgan's father, Philip,
was just a boy then.
926
01:00:27,957 --> 01:00:29,925
But he had to make a
man's decision soon.
927
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:33,161
The night of the murder, Paul
Garrett's grandfather, Messmore,
928
01:00:33,229 --> 01:00:34,958
was throwing a party
for his wife.
929
01:00:38,768 --> 01:00:41,532
Pa, I... Yes, lad, later.
930
01:00:43,873 --> 01:00:45,465
Well now, let me guess.
931
01:00:46,676 --> 01:00:47,676
Doctor?
932
01:00:48,111 --> 01:00:50,545
The black bag? No, I'm
just a businessman.
933
01:00:50,780 --> 01:00:52,060
Here looking at some properties.
934
01:00:52,215 --> 01:00:53,978
Oh, I see.
935
01:00:55,918 --> 01:00:57,783
Go and play with Beeley.
936
01:01:02,225 --> 01:01:03,225
Maude...
937
01:01:03,326 --> 01:01:04,759
Maude... Oh!
938
01:01:04,827 --> 01:01:06,692
Um... Excuse me, sir.
939
01:01:06,996 --> 01:01:08,774
I'm terribly sorry. I've
just spoken to Higgins.
940
01:01:08,798 --> 01:01:11,323
He insists I come
to Denver tonight.
941
01:01:11,401 --> 01:01:12,401
Tonight?
942
01:01:12,468 --> 01:01:15,301
Now, precious, there's nothing I can do.
You know that.
943
01:01:15,371 --> 01:01:16,963
I've just got time
to catch the train.
944
01:01:17,140 --> 01:01:18,801
Oh, no... Please forgive me.
945
01:01:18,875 --> 01:01:20,536
I'll see you tomorrow.
I promise.
946
01:01:21,244 --> 01:01:22,768
Oh, this is the end!
947
01:01:24,580 --> 01:01:25,774
I mean it!
948
01:01:26,916 --> 01:01:29,544
That's the last time that
man's gonna run out on me!
949
01:01:29,686 --> 01:01:30,686
Are you all right?
950
01:01:34,791 --> 01:01:36,224
Would you take me home?
951
01:01:36,926 --> 01:01:38,393
Please? Of course.
952
01:01:38,528 --> 01:01:39,528
Thank you.
953
01:01:55,845 --> 01:01:58,006
I just feel so ashamed.
954
01:01:58,181 --> 01:01:59,546
Surely not for crying?
955
01:02:00,550 --> 01:02:02,710
It seems to me you're certainly
entitled to a few tears.
956
01:02:02,852 --> 01:02:05,650
I mean, but I have no right to put
my burdens on your shoulders.
957
01:02:06,589 --> 01:02:08,454
Oh, I think they're
broad enough.
958
01:02:09,992 --> 01:02:13,052
Yes, they certainly seem to be.
959
01:02:14,564 --> 01:02:16,555
Oh, Mr. Sorenson...
960
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:58,400
Maude,
961
01:03:58,935 --> 01:04:00,163
I'm back!
962
01:04:00,870 --> 01:04:02,201
I missed the train.
963
01:04:05,641 --> 01:04:07,666
Be still, man. For God's
sake, nothing's happened.
964
01:04:07,743 --> 01:04:09,955
"Be still"! What earthly right have
you got to tell me to be still?
965
01:04:09,979 --> 01:04:12,379
You wait until my back is turned,
you creep into my house...
966
01:04:12,515 --> 01:04:15,712
There isn't a judge or jury who
wouldn't honor me for killing you!
967
01:04:33,636 --> 01:04:34,636
Sir...
968
01:04:36,706 --> 01:04:38,901
The old badger game.
I should have known.
969
01:04:39,675 --> 01:04:41,540
I must be getting
silly in my old age
970
01:04:41,677 --> 01:04:43,645
not to see through
an act like yours.
971
01:04:44,146 --> 01:04:45,306
You're very good.
972
01:04:46,449 --> 01:04:48,569
Now, we'll see what your
sheriff has to say about this.
973
01:04:48,951 --> 01:04:50,111
Mervin?
974
01:04:50,186 --> 01:04:51,813
Now, sir, just one moment.
975
01:04:52,021 --> 01:04:54,216
Put that down, you
fool, I've had enough.
976
01:04:54,757 --> 01:04:57,055
Sir, I'll have... Maude!
977
01:05:13,476 --> 01:05:15,068
He's breathing, isn't he?
978
01:05:16,312 --> 01:05:17,312
No.
979
01:05:20,349 --> 01:05:21,782
Oh, my God, we'll hang.
980
01:05:22,351 --> 01:05:23,409
They won't hang us.
981
01:05:29,191 --> 01:05:30,886
Nobody knows he's here.
982
01:05:32,495 --> 01:05:33,962
We'll bury him.
983
01:05:34,130 --> 01:05:35,130
What?
984
01:05:36,198 --> 01:05:37,426
We'll put him in the well.
985
01:05:37,767 --> 01:05:39,167
That's the first
place they'll look.
986
01:05:40,970 --> 01:05:42,164
Philip?
987
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:45,066
Dad, I tried to tell
you at the party.
988
01:05:45,641 --> 01:05:48,906
Sheriff Dumire knows what
you did to the minister.
989
01:05:49,378 --> 01:05:52,404
So the minute he finds out you
were dancing with this man,
990
01:05:52,481 --> 01:05:54,472
he's gonna be out here.
991
01:05:54,550 --> 01:05:57,590
He's gonna be looking down that well and
he's gonna be digging up that cellar.
992
01:05:58,754 --> 01:06:02,451
Philip, how did you know
about the minister?
993
01:06:02,825 --> 01:06:04,417
I guessed.
994
01:06:05,094 --> 01:06:06,974
I knew he didn't give us
this house for nothing.
995
01:06:08,197 --> 01:06:11,064
Oh, dear God. What
are we gonna do?
996
01:06:11,901 --> 01:06:13,698
What are we gonna do?
997
01:06:15,104 --> 01:06:17,197
What have we done
to this poor boy?
998
01:06:17,540 --> 01:06:20,737
Mervin, be quiet!
He won't collapse.
999
01:06:23,779 --> 01:06:25,644
He's his mother's son.
1000
01:06:26,549 --> 01:06:28,540
Aren't you, dearest?
1001
01:06:30,052 --> 01:06:31,747
I guess I must be.
1002
01:06:34,824 --> 01:06:36,587
'Cause I know where
we can hide him.
1003
01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:39,919
In the creek? It won't work.
1004
01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:42,021
Yes, it will. Now come on.
1005
01:06:42,498 --> 01:06:45,160
They'll know he didn't drown.
1006
01:06:45,735 --> 01:06:47,760
Someone's bound to
remember he left with me.
1007
01:06:47,837 --> 01:06:50,465
Look, nobody will ever find him.
1008
01:07:22,738 --> 01:07:25,935
Come, come on. Phillip, come.
1009
01:07:27,143 --> 01:07:28,405
Come.
1010
01:07:37,887 --> 01:07:39,650
Where? Where did you hide him?
1011
01:07:41,524 --> 01:07:42,718
Cave.
1012
01:07:43,125 --> 01:07:45,355
Some beavers made it, I guess.
1013
01:07:46,128 --> 01:07:48,460
It was my secret hiding place.
1014
01:07:48,531 --> 01:07:52,490
Now, I guess it... Now, I guess
it's got to be ours, huh?
1015
01:07:59,175 --> 01:08:00,199
Mervin.
1016
01:08:00,276 --> 01:08:02,870
Look! Look!
1017
01:08:02,945 --> 01:08:05,345
It was in his black bag!
It's a fortune!
1018
01:08:05,414 --> 01:08:07,678
Five and a half
thousand dollars!
1019
01:08:09,385 --> 01:08:11,876
Do you know what this means?
Do you know what this means?
1020
01:08:11,954 --> 01:08:13,994
It means we can go to Europe.
It means we can invest.
1021
01:08:14,056 --> 01:08:16,456
We can have a business.
We can have a theater.
1022
01:08:16,525 --> 01:08:17,525
No.
1023
01:08:18,294 --> 01:08:20,387
Maude? Not yet.
1024
01:08:21,263 --> 01:08:24,096
What are you talking about?
Sheriff Dumire.
1025
01:08:25,301 --> 01:08:27,101
He'd want to know where
we got the money from.
1026
01:08:27,970 --> 01:08:29,870
We're going to be very patient.
1027
01:08:30,539 --> 01:08:32,302
We're gonna quit
the badger games.
1028
01:08:34,076 --> 01:08:36,704
We'll take on extra work,
all of us, even Philip.
1029
01:08:37,113 --> 01:08:38,113
And then,
1030
01:08:39,782 --> 01:08:42,114
when the time comes,
1031
01:08:42,184 --> 01:08:45,085
we'll be able to
invest our savings.
1032
01:08:45,154 --> 01:08:46,621
Dumire again.
1033
01:08:47,690 --> 01:08:49,954
He's always the fly
in the ointment.
1034
01:08:51,660 --> 01:08:53,958
What if he finds the body?
1035
01:08:54,263 --> 01:08:55,287
He won't.
1036
01:08:59,835 --> 01:09:00,995
That's how it happened.
1037
01:09:01,070 --> 01:09:03,971
Dumire knew it, and
that's how it happened.
1038
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:05,707
But he could never prove it.
1039
01:09:05,774 --> 01:09:07,469
Nobody could prove it.
1040
01:09:20,990 --> 01:09:23,925
Lew, you know what you found?
1041
01:09:24,026 --> 01:09:25,493
A piece of the past.
1042
01:09:25,561 --> 01:09:27,529
Maybe a piece of the future.
1043
01:09:27,596 --> 01:09:29,689
How's that? Morgan Wendell.
1044
01:09:29,932 --> 01:09:32,457
If the rest of that skeleton
could be found, then...
1045
01:09:34,370 --> 01:09:36,770
Aw, damn. Damn.
1046
01:09:36,872 --> 01:09:37,930
What?
1047
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:39,941
Well, I wanted to use
this for our story.
1048
01:09:40,009 --> 01:09:41,686
But I think we should leak
it to the papers first
1049
01:09:41,710 --> 01:09:43,310
so it comes out just
before the election.
1050
01:09:43,379 --> 01:09:44,607
Why?
1051
01:09:44,847 --> 01:09:46,644
To stop Wendell!
1052
01:09:47,683 --> 01:09:50,481
Morgan Wendell hasn't
done anything wrong.
1053
01:09:51,153 --> 01:09:53,644
He represents everything
that's wrong in this country.
1054
01:09:53,722 --> 01:09:57,249
His family made a fortune on other
people's misfortunes and their miseries.
1055
01:09:57,660 --> 01:10:01,027
Their land development scheme
at Line Camp was enough to...
1056
01:10:02,298 --> 01:10:04,709
Well, that's information that you
should get from other people.
1057
01:10:04,733 --> 01:10:08,032
I just think that we should do
something about what we're sitting on.
1058
01:10:08,103 --> 01:10:11,072
Wait a minute. What
I'm sitting on.
1059
01:10:11,373 --> 01:10:12,931
Lew, that's evidence.
1060
01:10:13,008 --> 01:10:16,102
Have you ever heard of the
statute of limitations?
1061
01:10:16,312 --> 01:10:19,179
I'm not trying to send
anybody to prison.
1062
01:10:19,248 --> 01:10:21,808
What are you trying? Blackmail?
1063
01:10:21,884 --> 01:10:23,818
Character assassination?
1064
01:10:23,886 --> 01:10:25,217
A smear campaign?
1065
01:10:25,287 --> 01:10:27,983
Lew... I shouldn't let you
take this to New York.
1066
01:10:28,057 --> 01:10:30,355
Oh, you just try and stop me.
1067
01:10:50,212 --> 01:10:52,203
Rattlesnake Cliffs.
1068
01:10:52,348 --> 01:10:54,282
It's too bad they can't
talk into your recorder.
1069
01:10:54,350 --> 01:10:57,012
They've seen things
no man's ever seen,
1070
01:10:58,454 --> 01:11:02,288
and right over there is where the
first American dinosaur was found.
1071
01:11:02,891 --> 01:11:03,891
Huh.
1072
01:11:04,126 --> 01:11:05,718
Diplodocus.
1073
01:11:06,562 --> 01:11:09,258
Professor from
Harvard dug it out
1074
01:11:09,331 --> 01:11:12,391
in about, now, 1875, I guess.
1075
01:11:12,468 --> 01:11:15,562
It was about two miles
up beyond the cliffs,
1076
01:11:15,638 --> 01:11:18,300
that's where they found
the Clovis points,
1077
01:11:18,374 --> 01:11:20,433
about 1935.
1078
01:11:21,176 --> 01:11:25,044
They proved that man had been
here at least 11,000 years.
1079
01:11:25,814 --> 01:11:27,975
We'll ride out there tomorrow.
1080
01:11:28,050 --> 01:11:31,417
Maxwell Mercy wrote about
those cliffs in his journal.
1081
01:11:32,721 --> 01:11:34,086
Is this where it happened?
1082
01:11:34,156 --> 01:11:37,683
We're flying over Lost
Eagle's camp right now.
1083
01:11:38,727 --> 01:11:41,787
That was a camp with no
warriors and no weapons.
1084
01:11:43,599 --> 01:11:47,091
Over there at about 10:00 is
where the Colorado state militia
1085
01:11:47,169 --> 01:11:49,069
sat waiting for the
sun to come up.
1086
01:12:05,254 --> 01:12:06,881
Colonel.
1087
01:12:06,955 --> 01:12:10,413
Captain, everything
in order here?
1088
01:12:10,492 --> 01:12:11,959
Ready and waiting, sir.
1089
01:12:12,027 --> 01:12:14,086
I trust you grasp the
importance of your position?
1090
01:12:14,163 --> 01:12:16,131
You're not to let
one single redskin
1091
01:12:16,198 --> 01:12:18,189
slip through these lines.
1092
01:12:18,534 --> 01:12:20,001
I understand, sir.
1093
01:12:20,069 --> 01:12:21,730
Will they be heavily armed?
1094
01:12:21,804 --> 01:12:23,169
Armed?
1095
01:12:24,206 --> 01:12:27,266
They're Indians.
Shoot them down.
1096
01:12:27,343 --> 01:12:28,810
Of course, sir.
1097
01:12:28,877 --> 01:12:30,504
What I meant to say was
1098
01:12:30,579 --> 01:12:32,459
will they be mounting an
attack in my direction?
1099
01:12:33,415 --> 01:12:35,713
Captain McIntosh, listen to me.
1100
01:12:36,585 --> 01:12:39,918
When those cannons fire, there's
gonna be a great deal of confusion.
1101
01:12:39,988 --> 01:12:42,286
I intend to compound
that in the center.
1102
01:12:42,658 --> 01:12:44,455
In all that confusion,
1103
01:12:44,526 --> 01:12:48,087
many of those Indians are gonna
attempt to run off in your direction.
1104
01:12:48,163 --> 01:12:50,654
And it's your duty
to gun them down.
1105
01:12:51,633 --> 01:12:53,157
All of them.
1106
01:12:54,002 --> 01:12:55,993
I do hope you understand.
1107
01:12:56,839 --> 01:12:58,101
Yes, sir.
1108
01:12:58,173 --> 01:13:01,142
We can't let them live
to fight another day.
1109
01:13:02,044 --> 01:13:03,511
It'll be sunrise soon.
1110
01:13:04,780 --> 01:13:08,580
Gentlemen, we're engaged
in a great venture.
1111
01:13:08,917 --> 01:13:11,385
We have it in our power to
make this glorious nation
1112
01:13:11,453 --> 01:13:14,149
safe forever from
these predators.
1113
01:13:15,057 --> 01:13:16,786
God is on our side.
1114
01:13:18,293 --> 01:13:20,386
Remember that always.
1115
01:13:48,857 --> 01:13:50,017
Fire!
1116
01:13:58,734 --> 01:13:59,734
Fire!
1117
01:14:09,044 --> 01:14:10,841
Full ahead!
1118
01:14:33,402 --> 01:14:36,303
We have no guns! Stop!
1119
01:14:37,940 --> 01:14:39,407
We have no guns!
1120
01:15:14,376 --> 01:15:16,105
What are you doing with them?
1121
01:15:16,178 --> 01:15:17,372
Captured prisoners, sir.
1122
01:15:20,148 --> 01:15:21,547
Nits grow into lice.
1123
01:15:25,954 --> 01:15:27,615
Kill them.
1124
01:15:41,236 --> 01:15:42,863
They're slipping
away to the right.
1125
01:15:51,580 --> 01:15:53,241
Colonel's compliments, sir.
1126
01:15:53,315 --> 01:15:55,909
And why isn't the right
flank engaged yet?
1127
01:15:55,984 --> 01:15:58,714
Because the right flank refuses
to slaughter unarmed civilians.
1128
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:02,784
Are you all right?
1129
01:16:02,958 --> 01:16:04,289
You look a little pale.
1130
01:16:05,827 --> 01:16:08,057
I'm trying not to be sick, sir.
1131
01:16:11,867 --> 01:16:13,858
We should all be sick this day.
1132
01:16:18,206 --> 01:16:20,640
We should all be sick forever.
1133
01:16:21,643 --> 01:16:23,543
But somehow it's been an
easy thing to forget.
1134
01:16:26,148 --> 01:16:27,809
Except for the Indian.
1135
01:17:00,949 --> 01:17:02,041
Paul.
1136
01:17:02,117 --> 01:17:03,175
Morgan.
1137
01:17:03,752 --> 01:17:05,185
Mr. Vernor. Hello.
1138
01:17:05,821 --> 01:17:08,346
Checking out the cattlemen's
heritage, are you?
1139
01:17:08,423 --> 01:17:10,983
Oh, more than that. We've
been in a real time machine.
1140
01:17:11,059 --> 01:17:12,754
All the way back to
the first dinosaur.
1141
01:17:13,395 --> 01:17:15,173
Well, you remember, when
you get up to where things
1142
01:17:15,197 --> 01:17:16,997
are really happening
around here, let me know.
1143
01:17:18,333 --> 01:17:20,244
Paul, can I have a couple
of minutes of your time
1144
01:17:20,268 --> 01:17:22,736
to talk some 20th
century business?
1145
01:17:24,306 --> 01:17:25,568
All right, Morgan.
1146
01:17:25,641 --> 01:17:27,118
Lew, why don't you go
down to the corral
1147
01:17:27,142 --> 01:17:29,372
and pick us out a couple of horses?
All right.
1148
01:17:30,646 --> 01:17:31,738
You remember, now.
1149
01:17:41,890 --> 01:17:45,621
Paul, you and I have never
really gotten along too well,
1150
01:17:45,727 --> 01:17:48,753
but I need your help.
I need it badly.
1151
01:17:48,830 --> 01:17:50,263
With what?
1152
01:17:50,332 --> 01:17:52,477
Well, it looks like I've got
this election into the bag.
1153
01:17:52,501 --> 01:17:55,231
And if I win, I'm going to need
some first-rate brains to help me.
1154
01:17:55,303 --> 01:17:57,294
Now, don't interrupt me.
1155
01:17:57,372 --> 01:17:59,567
Brains aren't my long suit.
1156
01:17:59,841 --> 01:18:02,275
But sensing what's happening is.
1157
01:18:02,344 --> 01:18:04,812
Knowing what people
are looking for.
1158
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:06,871
And how does that involve me?
1159
01:18:06,948 --> 01:18:08,381
Directly.
1160
01:18:08,817 --> 01:18:10,409
You see, the great
problem for Colorado
1161
01:18:10,485 --> 01:18:13,045
in the next decade is going
to be to save the state.
1162
01:18:13,121 --> 01:18:16,056
I mean that. To
save the forests,
1163
01:18:16,158 --> 01:18:17,682
the trout, elk,
1164
01:18:17,826 --> 01:18:20,294
and especially things
like the rivers
1165
01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:21,693
and the air we breathe.
1166
01:18:23,131 --> 01:18:24,359
Sit down, Morgan.
1167
01:18:26,168 --> 01:18:27,745
You know, for the first
time in your life,
1168
01:18:27,769 --> 01:18:29,999
you're beginning to make sense.
1169
01:18:30,706 --> 01:18:33,197
I learned from men
like you, Paul.
1170
01:18:33,275 --> 01:18:36,472
And I know how you
feel about politics.
1171
01:18:37,145 --> 01:18:40,410
I want you to accept an
appointment as my deputy,
1172
01:18:40,482 --> 01:18:42,450
effective the day I take office.
1173
01:18:42,584 --> 01:18:44,609
Now, it's a real public
service position.
1174
01:18:44,686 --> 01:18:47,883
And it's an appointment.
No politics involved.
1175
01:18:47,956 --> 01:18:50,083
Morgan, I certainly
appreciate it.
1176
01:18:50,992 --> 01:18:54,519
A job like that, my conscience
wouldn't let me turn it down.
1177
01:18:56,198 --> 01:18:59,793
But I won't take the job just
to provide a facade for you.
1178
01:19:01,103 --> 01:19:03,901
You talk about ecology.
That's a popular word today.
1179
01:19:03,972 --> 01:19:07,237
That's the in thing to say
if you want to get elected.
1180
01:19:07,676 --> 01:19:11,544
But it's not just a word to me.
It's my whole life and my family.
1181
01:19:12,914 --> 01:19:15,007
I might not be an easy
man to live with.
1182
01:19:15,083 --> 01:19:16,482
I know that.
1183
01:19:17,119 --> 01:19:19,587
But I believe in
your strength, Paul.
1184
01:19:19,654 --> 01:19:21,884
As much as I do in my own.
1185
01:19:22,023 --> 01:19:24,958
I think we could put up with each
other a couple, three years,
1186
01:19:25,026 --> 01:19:26,866
just to get the job off
on the right foot, huh?
1187
01:19:27,729 --> 01:19:30,027
Might be a workable arrangement.
1188
01:19:30,298 --> 01:19:31,390
And you accept?
1189
01:19:32,701 --> 01:19:36,501
You got the buggy before
the horse, Morgan.
1190
01:19:36,571 --> 01:19:37,595
No.
1191
01:19:38,573 --> 01:19:41,235
No. I want you to say yes now,
1192
01:19:41,309 --> 01:19:43,140
so I can make an
announcement this afternoon.
1193
01:19:43,345 --> 01:19:45,472
I don't think you wanna make
that announcement today.
1194
01:19:46,414 --> 01:19:47,574
Why not?
1195
01:19:48,049 --> 01:19:49,880
You know about Floyd
Calendar's trial.
1196
01:19:50,585 --> 01:19:51,882
What, for hunting eagles?
1197
01:19:52,020 --> 01:19:53,214
From a plane.
1198
01:19:54,656 --> 01:19:57,819
Well, Paul, every hunter in the
state's going to side with Floyd.
1199
01:19:58,260 --> 01:19:59,454
Not this one.
1200
01:19:59,995 --> 01:20:03,158
I'm hoping that doesn't mean you're
going to testify against him.
1201
01:20:03,231 --> 01:20:04,858
I sure as hell am.
1202
01:20:04,933 --> 01:20:08,266
Paul, uh, that could
be a sticky case.
1203
01:20:08,336 --> 01:20:09,336
Couldn't you...
1204
01:20:10,906 --> 01:20:12,703
Couldn't you duck it?
1205
01:20:14,109 --> 01:20:16,805
You know, Morgan, before you
can even get me appointed,
1206
01:20:16,878 --> 01:20:18,311
you're asking me to draw back.
1207
01:20:20,549 --> 01:20:24,007
Well, it's just that... It's just that
we don't see eye to eye on things.
1208
01:20:24,085 --> 01:20:25,677
We never have.
1209
01:20:26,588 --> 01:20:29,887
Floyd Calendar's case is the very heart
of what we were just talking about.
1210
01:20:30,659 --> 01:20:32,251
Well, maybe I could
1211
01:20:33,395 --> 01:20:36,455
postpone the... You postpone,
and I won't accept.
1212
01:20:36,531 --> 01:20:37,725
You just said you'd accept.
1213
01:20:37,799 --> 01:20:40,324
I said, Morgan, that the
protection of this state
1214
01:20:40,402 --> 01:20:44,498
is always gonna irritate people you
want to placate, need to placate.
1215
01:20:46,575 --> 01:20:49,339
It'd be a dogfight between
us every inch of the way.
1216
01:20:49,411 --> 01:20:51,242
It doesn't have to be.
1217
01:20:51,313 --> 01:20:53,645
We both know where we stand.
1218
01:20:53,715 --> 01:20:56,843
Your job'll be protecting
all the good natural things
1219
01:20:57,052 --> 01:21:00,317
and mine will be to make sure
that industry gets a fair shake,
1220
01:21:00,388 --> 01:21:02,879
so there'll be jobs
and tax rolls.
1221
01:21:03,592 --> 01:21:05,492
You conserve the water.
1222
01:21:05,927 --> 01:21:09,124
I want every drop I can get
for new cities and factories.
1223
01:21:09,197 --> 01:21:11,097
It'll be hard, sure,
1224
01:21:11,533 --> 01:21:13,893
but it won't be half so hard if
you don't go getting mixed up
1225
01:21:13,935 --> 01:21:15,163
in that Calendar case.
1226
01:21:16,404 --> 01:21:19,532
Do you know who one of my favorite
Americans of all time is?
1227
01:21:20,475 --> 01:21:23,911
Warren Gamaliel Harding.
1228
01:21:24,713 --> 01:21:26,977
Because he came along at
a time when this country
1229
01:21:27,048 --> 01:21:29,676
still had a comfortable
margin of error.
1230
01:21:31,152 --> 01:21:35,384
And he proved just how bad an
elected official could be.
1231
01:21:37,092 --> 01:21:40,584
He's the benchmark for
every politician since.
1232
01:21:41,396 --> 01:21:44,661
On the day they take office, they
ought to think of President Harding
1233
01:21:44,733 --> 01:21:46,997
and say to themselves,
1234
01:21:47,068 --> 01:21:50,128
"I'll never allow
myself to be that bad."
1235
01:21:51,339 --> 01:21:54,308
So you see, Harding keeps
the ballgame honest,
1236
01:21:55,143 --> 01:21:59,273
and I judge him to be one of the most
useful Americans that ever lived.
1237
01:22:00,382 --> 01:22:03,977
And if I ever get into politics,
even by an appointment,
1238
01:22:04,386 --> 01:22:06,547
I'm not gonna turn out to
be the Colorado Harding.
1239
01:22:08,556 --> 01:22:09,989
I wanna tell you, Morgan,
1240
01:22:10,058 --> 01:22:11,685
I can't work with a man
1241
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,490
who's beginning to make noises like
he might be just that himself.
1242
01:22:17,599 --> 01:22:21,000
Well, that's just one more
thing we don't agree on, Paul.
1243
01:22:22,504 --> 01:22:23,994
And I'm sorry.
1244
01:22:25,073 --> 01:22:26,404
For you,
1245
01:22:26,474 --> 01:22:27,839
for me,
1246
01:22:29,644 --> 01:22:31,236
but especially for Colorado.
1247
01:22:47,062 --> 01:22:50,190
He's a technician.
He can perform.
1248
01:22:50,298 --> 01:22:52,766
He can keep things
from getting tangled,
1249
01:22:52,834 --> 01:22:56,634
but in a crisis he won't have
any base to operate from.
1250
01:22:56,972 --> 01:22:58,482
Because he doesn't
believe in anything?
1251
01:22:58,506 --> 01:23:00,371
I don't want to be
misunderstood, Lew.
1252
01:23:00,442 --> 01:23:02,876
He's a reliable businessman.
1253
01:23:03,111 --> 01:23:04,669
He did well in college
but he never...
1254
01:23:04,746 --> 01:23:07,579
But he never took any classes
that made him think.
1255
01:23:07,782 --> 01:23:09,716
Worked his way in with
the right people,
1256
01:23:09,784 --> 01:23:12,651
professors, coaches,
fraternity leaders,
1257
01:23:13,421 --> 01:23:15,889
but nobody ever knew
what he stood for.
1258
01:23:16,024 --> 01:23:19,824
He never crossed anybody,
he just kept climbing.
1259
01:23:20,128 --> 01:23:23,962
Yeah, well, I don't remember you
being at Boulder when we were there.
1260
01:23:24,232 --> 01:23:26,325
I live on a college campus.
1261
01:23:27,168 --> 01:23:28,931
The faces change every semester,
1262
01:23:29,004 --> 01:23:32,132
but most of the students don't.
1263
01:23:34,976 --> 01:23:37,501
Let me ask you something.
Sure, go ahead.
1264
01:23:39,180 --> 01:23:42,616
You believe this position to
be an important one? Very.
1265
01:23:43,284 --> 01:23:45,946
But you refuse to do
what the governor asked.
1266
01:23:46,021 --> 01:23:47,981
You'll just let Wendell
walk right in and take it.
1267
01:23:48,356 --> 01:23:50,881
Well, public office is not
something I want to chase after.
1268
01:23:53,261 --> 01:23:55,388
Let me put it another way.
1269
01:23:56,364 --> 01:23:59,060
If Lost Eagle had it
to do over again,
1270
01:23:59,467 --> 01:24:00,467
think he'd fight?
1271
01:24:04,339 --> 01:24:05,533
He did what?
1272
01:24:06,508 --> 01:24:08,032
He filed for the primary.
1273
01:24:08,109 --> 01:24:09,167
He's running against you.
1274
01:24:09,611 --> 01:24:11,374
That phony son of a...
1275
01:24:12,981 --> 01:24:15,916
All right. When's
Calendar's trial?
1276
01:24:16,518 --> 01:24:17,610
Next Wednesday.
1277
01:24:17,685 --> 01:24:20,017
Good. We're gonna take Mr.
Garrett out of the race
1278
01:24:20,088 --> 01:24:21,487
before he even gets into it.
1279
01:24:21,556 --> 01:24:23,285
Make sure the press
covers his testimony
1280
01:24:23,358 --> 01:24:25,189
and get a hold of
Calendar's attorney.
1281
01:24:25,260 --> 01:24:27,228
I'm going to coach him
myself on a few questions
1282
01:24:27,295 --> 01:24:28,819
I want Mr. Garrett
to answer publicly.
1283
01:24:41,476 --> 01:24:44,843
Mr. Garrett. Hey, Mr.
Garrett, look over here.
1284
01:24:45,580 --> 01:24:47,104
Smile.
1285
01:24:54,522 --> 01:24:56,183
The defendant, Floyd Calendar,
1286
01:24:56,257 --> 01:24:58,919
has been an acquaintance of
yours for how many years, then?
1287
01:24:58,993 --> 01:25:01,962
Oh, I'd say maybe
eight, ten years.
1288
01:25:02,397 --> 01:25:04,365
And what kind of work
was he doing then?
1289
01:25:04,432 --> 01:25:05,660
He was a guide.
1290
01:25:05,733 --> 01:25:07,462
What kind of guide?
1291
01:25:07,635 --> 01:25:09,967
Well, he put hunting
parties together.
1292
01:25:10,038 --> 01:25:11,403
To hunt what?
1293
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:13,507
Prairie dogs.
1294
01:25:13,575 --> 01:25:15,065
Prairie dogs.
1295
01:25:15,610 --> 01:25:17,100
Are they edible?
1296
01:25:17,745 --> 01:25:19,713
No, you don't eat them.
1297
01:25:19,781 --> 01:25:22,215
You just shoot prairie
dogs for the fun of it.
1298
01:25:24,018 --> 01:25:25,542
I see.
1299
01:25:27,021 --> 01:25:30,479
Mr. Garvey, are you a pilot?
1300
01:25:30,792 --> 01:25:31,792
That's right.
1301
01:25:31,893 --> 01:25:34,259
And you fly a helicopter
out of Fort Collins?
1302
01:25:34,329 --> 01:25:35,353
Yes, sir.
1303
01:25:36,598 --> 01:25:38,532
When, in your opinion, Mr.
Garvey,
1304
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,696
did Mr. Calendar first direct
his attention to eagles?
1305
01:25:42,904 --> 01:25:46,863
Oh, well, we was flying one day,
about five years ago, I guess,
1306
01:25:46,941 --> 01:25:50,240
and we see this old baldy
come out of this dead tree.
1307
01:25:50,378 --> 01:25:53,506
And we both watched him
flying for a while,
1308
01:25:53,581 --> 01:25:56,448
and then Floyd, he turned to
me and he said, "Hell, Hank,"
1309
01:25:56,518 --> 01:25:58,383
he said, "With the
right attention,
1310
01:25:58,453 --> 01:26:00,444
"a man could get on
that old eagle's tail
1311
01:26:00,522 --> 01:26:01,962
"and blast him right
out of the sky."
1312
01:26:02,790 --> 01:26:06,419
So for a week we made dry runs, you
know, seeing if we could spot an eagle
1313
01:26:06,494 --> 01:26:07,984
and get close to him.
1314
01:26:08,062 --> 01:26:09,893
And we found out that
it was downright easy.
1315
01:26:10,999 --> 01:26:14,526
Those eagles don't fly near as fast
as they show 'em in them cartoons.
1316
01:26:16,371 --> 01:26:18,168
When did the idea...
1317
01:26:19,340 --> 01:26:23,106
I mean, whose idea was it
to do this commercially?
1318
01:26:23,711 --> 01:26:26,043
Oh, I think that kind
of came natural.
1319
01:26:26,381 --> 01:26:28,372
Floyd and I, we
knew about hunters,
1320
01:26:28,449 --> 01:26:30,883
especially Floyd, him
being a guide and all.
1321
01:26:31,252 --> 01:26:34,244
And we knew how tough it was
for a hunter to bag an eagle.
1322
01:26:34,322 --> 01:26:36,620
I mean, a lot of good
shots, they'd try for years
1323
01:26:36,691 --> 01:26:39,216
without even coming close to
one, much less hitting one.
1324
01:26:39,294 --> 01:26:41,455
And that used to
bug 'em, you know.
1325
01:26:41,529 --> 01:26:45,590
Maybe on their walls they'd have
a big-horned rhino from Africa,
1326
01:26:45,667 --> 01:26:47,396
or a tiger from India,
1327
01:26:47,802 --> 01:26:49,463
but they didn't have
our national bird.
1328
01:26:50,138 --> 01:26:52,629
Well, when did the
commercial aspect begin?
1329
01:26:53,274 --> 01:26:55,504
Sir? Your first customer.
1330
01:26:55,577 --> 01:26:57,340
When was that?
1331
01:26:57,545 --> 01:26:58,944
Well, uh...
1332
01:26:59,614 --> 01:27:01,912
We were making dry
runs this one day,
1333
01:27:01,983 --> 01:27:04,247
and I got real close
to a big bird
1334
01:27:04,319 --> 01:27:06,116
and old Floyd, he
really got excited.
1335
01:27:06,187 --> 01:27:09,054
And he said, "Hell, a man
don't even have to aim.
1336
01:27:09,123 --> 01:27:11,404
"If he can just point a gun he
can get an eagle this way."
1337
01:27:12,026 --> 01:27:14,620
And there was this
dude from Boston
1338
01:27:14,696 --> 01:27:18,632
and he had all kinds of trophies in
his trophy room except an eagle.
1339
01:27:18,700 --> 01:27:20,930
I mean he even had
a Kodiak bear.
1340
01:27:21,002 --> 01:27:24,130
And so he wanted an eagle
so bad he could taste it.
1341
01:27:24,205 --> 01:27:26,901
And so this one time
before we were taking off,
1342
01:27:26,975 --> 01:27:30,741
why, he said to Floyd, he said, "Now, I
don't think you can get an eagle this way,
1343
01:27:30,812 --> 01:27:33,838
"but if you can get me onto
one, I'll give you $500."
1344
01:27:33,982 --> 01:27:35,449
Then he turned to
me and he said,
1345
01:27:35,516 --> 01:27:37,575
"Of course, there'd be
something in it for you, too."
1346
01:27:37,652 --> 01:27:40,086
So boy, we flat-out natural were
gonna get that man an eagle.
1347
01:27:40,822 --> 01:27:42,153
So, did you?
1348
01:27:42,757 --> 01:27:45,487
Well, we cruised around
for a while, you know,
1349
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:49,052
west of Fort Collins,
didn't scare up anything.
1350
01:27:49,397 --> 01:27:52,093
And then we just sort of,
kind of drifted down
1351
01:27:52,166 --> 01:27:54,566
over the Rocky National Park,
1352
01:27:54,769 --> 01:27:57,203
and we spotted a
big, beautiful bird.
1353
01:27:57,272 --> 01:28:00,036
Of course, this dude, he wanted to
shoot him right away, you know.
1354
01:28:00,108 --> 01:28:02,872
But I said, no, let's not do that,
not over the park, you know.
1355
01:28:02,944 --> 01:28:04,255
'Cause we're liable
to get into trouble
1356
01:28:04,279 --> 01:28:05,719
when we go down there
to pick him up.
1357
01:28:05,980 --> 01:28:08,574
So he didn't shoot? Oh, no, sir.
Not then.
1358
01:28:08,883 --> 01:28:11,044
So I swung the plane
south of that old boy
1359
01:28:11,119 --> 01:28:13,349
and we worked him up
north, out of the park.
1360
01:28:13,721 --> 01:28:16,417
When he was over open land,
then I moved in real close.
1361
01:28:17,225 --> 01:28:18,715
Now, the eagle and
the chopper, they,
1362
01:28:18,793 --> 01:28:20,852
they fly at about
the same speed,
1363
01:28:20,928 --> 01:28:23,556
so it was just like the
bird was standing still.
1364
01:28:23,631 --> 01:28:26,156
Or like you were on a
platform in the sky
1365
01:28:26,234 --> 01:28:27,861
standing right beside him.
1366
01:28:27,935 --> 01:28:28,993
Yes, sir.
1367
01:28:29,070 --> 01:28:31,561
And that's where we made our
big mistake on that first try.
1368
01:28:31,639 --> 01:28:33,231
I got too close.
1369
01:28:33,308 --> 01:28:35,799
Hell, you could have killed
that eagle with a broom.
1370
01:28:36,311 --> 01:28:37,801
So what happened then?
1371
01:28:37,879 --> 01:28:39,540
Well, the dude fires.
1372
01:28:40,581 --> 01:28:43,175
Well, he practically
disintegrates his eagle.
1373
01:28:43,251 --> 01:28:46,709
Took us the best part of an hour
to pick up the bits and pieces.
1374
01:28:46,921 --> 01:28:48,616
So we take it in
to the taxidermist
1375
01:28:48,690 --> 01:28:51,818
and he takes one look at
that pile and he says,
1376
01:28:52,126 --> 01:28:55,653
"Well, boys," he says, "How
do you want this job made up?
1377
01:28:55,730 --> 01:28:57,254
"Duck or an eagle?
1378
01:28:57,332 --> 01:28:59,562
"I can play it either way."
1379
01:29:06,007 --> 01:29:08,475
Mr. Holmes, as a
state naturalist,
1380
01:29:08,543 --> 01:29:10,773
you and your associates
had been watching
1381
01:29:10,845 --> 01:29:13,211
Mr. Calendar for
some time, then?
1382
01:29:13,281 --> 01:29:15,112
Uh, yes, sir, we have.
1383
01:29:15,183 --> 01:29:18,084
The national publicity
on that eagle deal,
1384
01:29:18,152 --> 01:29:19,949
sort of scared him
off that line,
1385
01:29:20,021 --> 01:29:22,080
we haven't seen the
helicopter since then.
1386
01:29:22,523 --> 01:29:24,582
Have you had further
contact with him?
1387
01:29:24,659 --> 01:29:27,059
Yes, sir. We had further contact
1388
01:29:27,128 --> 01:29:29,392
when he turned his
attention to bears.
1389
01:29:29,864 --> 01:29:31,229
To bears?
1390
01:29:31,299 --> 01:29:34,564
Yes, sir. You see, there's about
as good a market for bears
1391
01:29:34,635 --> 01:29:36,102
as there are for eagles.
1392
01:29:36,671 --> 01:29:39,731
Well, he devised him
this sure-fire plan
1393
01:29:39,807 --> 01:29:42,935
to help an eastern hunter
bag himself a bear.
1394
01:29:43,177 --> 01:29:44,508
And how was that?
1395
01:29:45,179 --> 01:29:48,239
Well, he'd just trap them.
1396
01:29:49,050 --> 01:29:50,608
Trap them? Yes, sir.
1397
01:29:50,685 --> 01:29:52,175
He'd trap them,
put them in cages
1398
01:29:52,253 --> 01:29:54,983
and then he'd take the cages and
put them deep in the woods.
1399
01:29:55,056 --> 01:29:58,253
He'd take some sportsman
out to a cabin nearby.
1400
01:29:58,459 --> 01:30:00,723
And, well, he'd sneak out
about 5:00 in the morning
1401
01:30:00,795 --> 01:30:02,729
and he'd go turn the bear loose.
1402
01:30:02,797 --> 01:30:05,425
5:15, they'd be on the trail
1403
01:30:05,700 --> 01:30:09,431
and, well, by 5:30, you
got yourself a dead bear.
1404
01:30:09,637 --> 01:30:11,036
And this was for profit?
1405
01:30:12,740 --> 01:30:16,801
Boy, I'll say it was. He
charged $100 for the hunt
1406
01:30:16,878 --> 01:30:19,870
and $200 if the sportsman
bagged a bear.
1407
01:30:20,581 --> 01:30:23,277
He wasn't taking any chances. There
wasn't any doubt about that,
1408
01:30:23,351 --> 01:30:25,410
'cause he had starved
those poor animals,
1409
01:30:25,486 --> 01:30:28,148
and he knew the first thing
they'd do is stop to eat
1410
01:30:28,222 --> 01:30:29,553
when he set them loose.
1411
01:30:30,124 --> 01:30:32,649
Mr. Garrett, would
you tell us, please,
1412
01:30:32,727 --> 01:30:34,558
how long you've known
the defendant?
1413
01:30:34,629 --> 01:30:35,926
All my life.
1414
01:30:36,097 --> 01:30:38,031
I knew his father, I
knew his grandfather,
1415
01:30:38,099 --> 01:30:41,432
and his great-grandfather
and mine came north
1416
01:30:41,502 --> 01:30:43,493
from Texas on the
first cattle drive.
1417
01:30:44,572 --> 01:30:46,870
Tell us, please, about your
most recent contact with...
1418
01:30:46,941 --> 01:30:48,909
It all had to do
with the turkeys.
1419
01:30:48,976 --> 01:30:50,068
Turkeys?
1420
01:30:50,144 --> 01:30:53,238
About 10 years ago I lured
a family of wild turkeys
1421
01:30:53,314 --> 01:30:54,975
on the north edge of my ranch,
1422
01:30:55,049 --> 01:30:56,641
and we fed them and
protected them,
1423
01:30:56,717 --> 01:30:58,844
and pretty soon we
had a big colony.
1424
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:01,616
The wild turkey is a
very sensitive bird.
1425
01:31:01,722 --> 01:31:04,054
Almost extinct in these parts,
1426
01:31:04,125 --> 01:31:07,390
and that's a crime in itself, because
that's our real national bird.
1427
01:31:09,030 --> 01:31:11,123
You kept a close watch
on these birds, then?
1428
01:31:12,834 --> 01:31:14,631
So did Floyd Calendar.
1429
01:31:14,702 --> 01:31:16,795
Well, how do you know that?
1430
01:31:16,904 --> 01:31:20,169
Well, after they increased in
number, they began to decline.
1431
01:31:20,808 --> 01:31:21,808
Objection, Your Honor.
1432
01:31:22,243 --> 01:31:23,574
Sustained.
1433
01:31:23,644 --> 01:31:26,909
Let me rephrase the question
to the witness, Your Honor.
1434
01:31:27,248 --> 01:31:28,715
Mr. Garrett,
1435
01:31:29,317 --> 01:31:31,649
did you have evidence
1436
01:31:32,453 --> 01:31:34,216
to show that Mr. Calendar
1437
01:31:34,288 --> 01:31:37,257
had taken an active interest in the
number of turkeys you had on your ranch?
1438
01:31:37,325 --> 01:31:38,690
Objection.
1439
01:31:39,260 --> 01:31:41,922
Your Honor, I want it noted that Mr.
Garrett stated
1440
01:31:41,996 --> 01:31:45,329
that these were in fact wild birds
that he lured onto his land
1441
01:31:45,399 --> 01:31:48,027
and not birds that he had
purchased or bred or raised.
1442
01:31:48,402 --> 01:31:49,402
So noted.
1443
01:31:50,538 --> 01:31:51,766
Continue, Mr. Garrett.
1444
01:31:52,773 --> 01:31:56,038
After we noticed the
number of birds declining,
1445
01:31:56,110 --> 01:31:57,737
and we couldn't find
a reason for it...
1446
01:31:57,812 --> 01:32:01,111
I mean, there was no disease,
no attacks by coyotes,
1447
01:32:01,182 --> 01:32:03,582
we began to worry, until
I got this letter
1448
01:32:03,651 --> 01:32:05,744
from a friend of mine in Boston.
1449
01:32:05,820 --> 01:32:09,119
He enclosed a copy
of a form letter
1450
01:32:09,190 --> 01:32:11,317
he received from Colorado.
1451
01:32:11,759 --> 01:32:13,386
Is this the letter?
1452
01:32:14,629 --> 01:32:16,290
That's the letter.
1453
01:32:17,732 --> 01:32:19,700
Exhibit F for the
prosecution, Your Honor.
1454
01:32:21,435 --> 01:32:24,632
Will the clerk please read the
contents of the letter to the court?
1455
01:32:31,646 --> 01:32:36,049
It's addressed to Mr. Daniel
Mahoney, 1212 Riverdale Drive,
1456
01:32:36,117 --> 01:32:37,880
Boston, Massachusetts.
1457
01:32:37,985 --> 01:32:39,452
"Dear, Mr. Mahoney,
1458
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,148
"Your name has been referred
to me by a mutual friend
1459
01:32:42,223 --> 01:32:45,681
"as a man who enjoys the challenge
and excitement of big game hunting.
1460
01:32:45,893 --> 01:32:48,953
"Here in Colorado, we offer
two trophies in one trip
1461
01:32:49,030 --> 01:32:52,363
"that are a magnificent addition
to any sportsman's collection.
1462
01:32:52,433 --> 01:32:56,233
"I can guarantee you what no other
guide in America can guarantee.
1463
01:32:56,304 --> 01:32:57,965
"Come to the Rockies,
and I'll show you
1464
01:32:58,039 --> 01:33:00,269
"how to bag both of
our national birds,
1465
01:33:00,341 --> 01:33:02,605
"a baldheaded eagle
and a wild turkey."
1466
01:33:02,677 --> 01:33:05,908
It's signed, "Floyd Calendar,
Centennial, Colorado."
1467
01:33:08,215 --> 01:33:09,580
Mr. Garrett,
1468
01:33:10,017 --> 01:33:13,509
where did Mr. Calendar get the turkeys
that he guaranteed in that letter?
1469
01:33:14,255 --> 01:33:16,382
From my protected sanctuary.
Objection.
1470
01:33:16,490 --> 01:33:21,120
Your Honor, if Mr. Garrett may be allowed
to answer, I believe you'll be satisfied.
1471
01:33:21,762 --> 01:33:23,491
Go ahead, Mr. Garrett.
1472
01:33:23,564 --> 01:33:25,327
When I got the letter
from Dan Mahoney,
1473
01:33:25,399 --> 01:33:27,833
I staked one of my men
out on the preserve,
1474
01:33:29,203 --> 01:33:32,934
and sure enough, after a while,
here comes Floyd with a hunter
1475
01:33:33,007 --> 01:33:34,975
from Wisconsin
shooting my turkeys.
1476
01:33:35,042 --> 01:33:36,100
Objection.
1477
01:33:36,177 --> 01:33:39,010
The turkeys I tried to
protect on my own land.
1478
01:33:40,781 --> 01:33:43,249
Mr. Garrett, there's been
a lot of ugly rumors
1479
01:33:43,317 --> 01:33:45,615
circulating about the
incident in question.
1480
01:33:46,287 --> 01:33:49,723
Would you mind telling the
court just what you did
1481
01:33:50,124 --> 01:33:52,524
when you confronted Mr.
Calendar about the turkeys?
1482
01:33:52,593 --> 01:33:54,083
Yes, I was angry.
1483
01:33:55,596 --> 01:33:56,927
I was real angry.
1484
01:33:57,331 --> 01:34:00,300
And I caught up with him
at the Flor De Mexico...
1485
01:34:00,368 --> 01:34:02,529
Flor de Mexico, what is that?
1486
01:34:02,637 --> 01:34:03,797
A restaurant.
1487
01:34:04,071 --> 01:34:06,835
A Mexican restaurant?
1488
01:34:07,241 --> 01:34:08,640
A cantina?
1489
01:34:09,243 --> 01:34:10,403
That's right.
1490
01:34:10,711 --> 01:34:13,771
Is that in Centennial
and is it owned by a
1491
01:34:14,015 --> 01:34:15,573
Senor Marquez?
1492
01:34:15,850 --> 01:34:17,647
Manolo Marquez.
1493
01:34:18,819 --> 01:34:20,582
His father owned it before him.
1494
01:34:21,155 --> 01:34:22,713
Thank you.
1495
01:34:23,157 --> 01:34:25,853
You're on quite good terms
with the owner, aren't you?
1496
01:34:26,861 --> 01:34:29,694
And his sister. Objection, Your Honor.
Irrelevant.
1497
01:34:30,297 --> 01:34:33,892
Mr. Prescott, I'm afraid I don't
see the relevancy, either.
1498
01:34:34,368 --> 01:34:35,892
The relevancy is, Your Honor,
1499
01:34:35,970 --> 01:34:37,528
that an incident occurred
1500
01:34:37,605 --> 01:34:40,335
involving my client and Mr.
Garrett.
1501
01:34:40,441 --> 01:34:42,306
Mr. Garrett chose to pick
a spot where he knew
1502
01:34:42,376 --> 01:34:44,970
he was under protection
of his closest friends.
1503
01:34:45,212 --> 01:34:49,273
The Mexican cantina owned by
Senorita Marquez and her brother.
1504
01:34:49,350 --> 01:34:50,817
Marquez.
1505
01:34:52,687 --> 01:34:55,121
You may answer the question, Mr.
Garrett.
1506
01:34:55,823 --> 01:34:57,120
The question was...
1507
01:34:57,191 --> 01:34:59,056
I know the question.
1508
01:35:01,262 --> 01:35:04,698
Miss Marquez and her brother
are close friends of mine.
1509
01:35:04,865 --> 01:35:07,356
And you do pay regular
visits there?
1510
01:35:07,635 --> 01:35:08,863
That's right.
1511
01:35:09,670 --> 01:35:12,161
Was it on one of
your regular visits
1512
01:35:12,239 --> 01:35:16,335
to this Mexican cantina
owned by your close friends
1513
01:35:16,410 --> 01:35:18,207
that you accosted Mr. Calendar?
1514
01:35:18,279 --> 01:35:19,541
Your Honor, I have to object.
1515
01:35:19,613 --> 01:35:22,104
It's all right. I'll
answer the question.
1516
01:35:23,751 --> 01:35:26,686
It was in the cantina.
1517
01:35:28,322 --> 01:35:29,914
And I did accost him.
1518
01:35:30,257 --> 01:35:32,555
Did you lay hands on him physically?
You bet I did.
1519
01:35:32,626 --> 01:35:33,970
What'd you say to
him at that time?
1520
01:35:33,994 --> 01:35:35,393
I think I said something like...
1521
01:35:35,463 --> 01:35:37,140
We're not interested in
"something like," Mr. Garrett.
1522
01:35:37,164 --> 01:35:38,791
We wanna know exactly
what you said.
1523
01:35:38,866 --> 01:35:40,891
I said, "Calendar, if
you ever step foot
1524
01:35:40,968 --> 01:35:43,402
"on my turkey range
again, I'll kill you."
1525
01:35:43,471 --> 01:35:45,632
You threatened his life?
You bet I did.
1526
01:35:47,508 --> 01:35:49,976
I told him if I was there when
he came, I'd do it there.
1527
01:35:50,044 --> 01:35:51,922
I said if I missed him when
he was sneaking around,
1528
01:35:51,946 --> 01:35:53,746
I'd hunt him down and
drop him where he stood.
1529
01:35:54,381 --> 01:35:56,849
And we have witnesses who
will testify, Mr. Garrett,
1530
01:35:56,917 --> 01:35:59,647
that you also said
if he ever set foot
1531
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:02,553
in the Mexican cantina owned
by your close friends,
1532
01:36:03,290 --> 01:36:04,814
you'd kill him where he sat.
1533
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,689
That's what I said.
1534
01:36:09,663 --> 01:36:11,494
And I think he knew I meant it.
1535
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:15,200
Since then we haven't
lost any turkeys.
1536
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,232
Here's a shot of the two of them
coming up the steps together.
1537
01:36:22,309 --> 01:36:24,743
They're gonna print
it on page one.
1538
01:36:25,112 --> 01:36:28,411
Perfect. Perfect.
1539
01:36:29,116 --> 01:36:30,879
He writes off half the
hunters in the state
1540
01:36:30,951 --> 01:36:34,114
and a whole horde of Anglo
bigots at the same time.
1541
01:36:35,956 --> 01:36:38,550
You know something,
Paul was right.
1542
01:36:38,659 --> 01:36:41,093
He's not cut out for politics.
1543
01:37:12,793 --> 01:37:13,793
Morning.
1544
01:37:15,963 --> 01:37:17,954
See the paper? No.
1545
01:37:19,266 --> 01:37:20,324
Guilty?
1546
01:37:20,401 --> 01:37:23,063
Yeah. Guilty of operating
a zoo without a license.
1547
01:37:23,137 --> 01:37:24,161
What?
1548
01:37:24,238 --> 01:37:28,334
He kept the bears in cages
for periods of over 30 days.
1549
01:37:28,542 --> 01:37:30,567
I can't believe that.
1550
01:37:31,445 --> 01:37:34,471
For killing 413 bald eagles,
1551
01:37:34,548 --> 01:37:38,006
200 bears and 81 of my turkeys,
1552
01:37:39,053 --> 01:37:41,044
they fined him $50.
1553
01:37:41,488 --> 01:37:44,719
How can they do that? You had proof.
The state had proof.
1554
01:37:45,025 --> 01:37:47,323
That's the trouble.
All we had was proof.
1555
01:37:47,528 --> 01:37:49,860
Calendar had tradition.
1556
01:37:50,197 --> 01:37:52,893
A man isn't guilty of anything
around here unless he's an Indian,
1557
01:37:52,967 --> 01:37:54,491
or a Chicano.
1558
01:37:55,269 --> 01:37:58,864
They actually acquitted
him of every major count.
1559
01:37:58,939 --> 01:38:01,737
And they put Flor and
me on the front page.
1560
01:38:01,809 --> 01:38:03,470
Just in case somebody
missed the point
1561
01:38:03,544 --> 01:38:05,842
that Calendar's lawyer was
trying to be so subtle about.
1562
01:38:36,744 --> 01:38:40,339
I can't tell you why, but whenever
I have something to think out,
1563
01:38:40,414 --> 01:38:42,109
I think it out best
on the reservation.
1564
01:38:42,182 --> 01:38:44,616
Oh, Paul, it's your
Arapaho blood.
1565
01:38:44,785 --> 01:38:47,379
Maybe that's the most
important part of me.
1566
01:38:47,521 --> 01:38:48,954
You have Indian heritage, too?
1567
01:38:49,023 --> 01:38:52,481
If you trace it back, it's only
five thirty-seconds Arapaho,
1568
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,961
but I visit the family out here
two or three times a year.
1569
01:38:57,031 --> 01:38:59,226
I visit them ever since
I was a little kid.
1570
01:38:59,300 --> 01:39:00,744
I appreciate you
letting me come along.
1571
01:39:00,768 --> 01:39:03,168
You can't write your
story without it.
1572
01:39:03,237 --> 01:39:05,398
I'm not an Indian apologist,
1573
01:39:05,472 --> 01:39:09,033
but I guess if I were
20 years younger,
1574
01:39:09,109 --> 01:39:11,703
I'd be one of those
gun-toting activists.
1575
01:39:34,535 --> 01:39:36,298
Damn Shoshone.
1576
01:39:36,403 --> 01:39:38,268
What's the trouble
now, Aunt Augusta?
1577
01:39:38,739 --> 01:39:41,799
Government says we can
have a recreation hall.
1578
01:39:41,875 --> 01:39:43,843
Well, that's good, isn't it?
1579
01:39:43,911 --> 01:39:47,608
Shoshone say it has
to be on their land.
1580
01:39:48,048 --> 01:39:49,606
I see, you want it on your land.
1581
01:39:50,651 --> 01:39:54,451
We may have to go to war.
1582
01:39:55,556 --> 01:39:58,457
You see, the Shoshone
and the Arapaho
1583
01:39:58,525 --> 01:40:02,154
have been enemies as far
back as anyone can remember.
1584
01:40:03,697 --> 01:40:05,137
And some people don't
want to forget.
1585
01:40:08,168 --> 01:40:10,102
She's not serious about war?
1586
01:40:10,170 --> 01:40:12,661
Ask the agent. He knows.
1587
01:40:12,973 --> 01:40:15,305
He sleeps in town. That's true.
1588
01:40:15,909 --> 01:40:17,501
Paul, what does she mean?
1589
01:40:17,578 --> 01:40:20,638
She means, the Indian Affairs
agent sleeps in town
1590
01:40:20,714 --> 01:40:23,512
because he doesn't want to
spend his nights out here.
1591
01:40:23,584 --> 01:40:24,846
But I thought...
1592
01:40:25,352 --> 01:40:27,912
Everybody thinks the
Indian lives in peace
1593
01:40:27,988 --> 01:40:29,421
on the land that they love.
1594
01:40:29,490 --> 01:40:32,823
For some, that's true. I can't
get her to live anywhere else.
1595
01:40:33,427 --> 01:40:36,362
It's also true that they haven't lived
in peace since President Arthur,
1596
01:40:36,430 --> 01:40:39,365
and all the white man's wisdom
moved the last of the Arapaho
1597
01:40:39,433 --> 01:40:42,459
from Colorado up here on
this reservation in Wyoming,
1598
01:40:42,536 --> 01:40:44,016
that already belonged
to the Shoshone.
1599
01:40:46,373 --> 01:40:48,933
Arthur? That'd be 1880.
1600
01:40:49,009 --> 01:40:52,706
1883. There is enough
land here for two tribes,
1601
01:40:52,780 --> 01:40:54,714
but not when they're
mortal enemies.
1602
01:40:54,782 --> 01:40:59,014
They're still fighting? Because
they made General Custer head
1603
01:40:59,086 --> 01:41:00,951
of Indian Affairs.
1604
01:41:01,889 --> 01:41:04,016
Custer didn't govern
Indians, he fought them.
1605
01:41:04,591 --> 01:41:08,789
In 1876, General
Custer left his office
1606
01:41:08,862 --> 01:41:10,693
to go to the Little Big Horn.
1607
01:41:10,764 --> 01:41:12,197
And he said,
1608
01:41:12,266 --> 01:41:16,362
"Don't do anything
until I get back."
1609
01:41:18,672 --> 01:41:21,072
Yeah, and they haven't
done a damn thing since.
1610
01:41:21,909 --> 01:41:23,536
Now you take care of yourself.
1611
01:41:25,879 --> 01:41:26,879
Paul,
1612
01:41:28,582 --> 01:41:31,949
did you hear what happened
to Sam Loper's son?
1613
01:41:35,656 --> 01:41:36,884
He died.
1614
01:41:37,825 --> 01:41:38,849
No.
1615
01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:41,551
Drowned
1616
01:41:41,929 --> 01:41:43,487
in a ditch.
1617
01:41:44,798 --> 01:41:46,857
A ditch two feet deep.
1618
01:41:50,737 --> 01:41:52,830
He's not the first, Paul,
1619
01:41:53,140 --> 01:41:55,165
and he won't be the last.
1620
01:41:55,442 --> 01:41:57,342
I see too many drunk.
1621
01:41:57,444 --> 01:41:59,173
Too many dying
1622
01:41:59,313 --> 01:42:01,804
or killing someone
they don't even know
1623
01:42:01,882 --> 01:42:04,112
because they're driving on
the wrong side of the road
1624
01:42:04,184 --> 01:42:06,482
and they don't know that either.
1625
01:42:06,553 --> 01:42:08,748
Or like my boy,
1626
01:42:09,256 --> 01:42:11,918
they just stumble in
a ditch and drown.
1627
01:42:13,093 --> 01:42:15,027
I'm sorry, Sam.
1628
01:42:16,430 --> 01:42:18,398
I am, too, Paul.
1629
01:42:19,233 --> 01:42:21,258
And what good is that?
1630
01:42:21,335 --> 01:42:22,734
To be sorry.
1631
01:42:23,437 --> 01:42:25,166
To wake up sorry.
1632
01:42:25,539 --> 01:42:26,972
To go to bed sorry.
1633
01:42:27,741 --> 01:42:29,800
To live each day sorry.
1634
01:42:30,911 --> 01:42:33,539
To die sorry.
1635
01:42:48,762 --> 01:42:51,526
The boy left a wife
and three children.
1636
01:42:52,099 --> 01:42:54,624
She's a heavy drinker.
Hasn't been sober in days.
1637
01:42:54,701 --> 01:42:55,929
Where are the children?
1638
01:42:56,503 --> 01:42:58,266
They're with Sam's daughter.
1639
01:42:59,740 --> 01:43:02,265
That's one thing
that hasn't changed.
1640
01:43:02,576 --> 01:43:06,342
The Indian has a strong sense of family.
They look after their own.
1641
01:43:09,349 --> 01:43:12,375
But, damn it, there's no reason
for life to be wasted like that.
1642
01:43:12,753 --> 01:43:14,550
Paul, what can we do?
1643
01:43:15,355 --> 01:43:16,879
Go to the mission
and raise hell,
1644
01:43:16,957 --> 01:43:19,391
and watch it happen
all over again.
1645
01:43:20,394 --> 01:43:22,328
What is it, Paul? What
causes the pattern?
1646
01:43:22,396 --> 01:43:24,193
It's what Aunt Augusta said.
1647
01:43:24,264 --> 01:43:26,129
The men who sleep in town.
1648
01:43:42,082 --> 01:43:44,744
The awful problem is that
no girls in America,
1649
01:43:44,851 --> 01:43:48,412
and I mean none, are better brought
up than these Indian girls.
1650
01:43:49,523 --> 01:43:51,684
They get traditional
teaching at home,
1651
01:43:51,758 --> 01:43:53,692
they study here at the mission.
1652
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:57,287
They're clean, devout, filled
with the excitement of life,
1653
01:43:57,931 --> 01:43:59,398
and then they marry.
1654
01:43:59,566 --> 01:44:00,863
Now, who do they marry?
1655
01:44:00,934 --> 01:44:04,335
They marry the tall, good-looking
young men on the reservation.
1656
01:44:04,404 --> 01:44:05,837
And what happens
to these young men
1657
01:44:05,906 --> 01:44:08,306
who play basketball so
well when they're 19?
1658
01:44:09,576 --> 01:44:12,010
Some find a place
for themselves.
1659
01:44:15,349 --> 01:44:18,113
Well, more than ever
before, actually.
1660
01:44:18,185 --> 01:44:22,144
It's over 30% on this
reservation go to college now.
1661
01:44:23,457 --> 01:44:24,981
But too many of them drift.
1662
01:44:25,058 --> 01:44:27,754
Lose interest because they feel
no one's interested in them.
1663
01:44:28,328 --> 01:44:30,558
They feel they have
no future, no hope.
1664
01:44:31,131 --> 01:44:33,099
So they start to drink.
1665
01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:36,601
After the first baby, the husband
starts beating his wife.
1666
01:44:37,504 --> 01:44:39,870
Actually, the only contact
she can have with him,
1667
01:44:39,940 --> 01:44:41,532
is to join him drinking.
1668
01:44:44,745 --> 01:44:45,973
Look at it.
1669
01:44:46,046 --> 01:44:48,378
What in the hell can a man say?
1670
01:44:49,049 --> 01:44:51,574
Think about the way
they were once.
1671
01:44:52,185 --> 01:44:53,880
Proud and strong.
1672
01:44:53,954 --> 01:44:55,717
They ruled this land.
1673
01:44:55,789 --> 01:44:58,724
It was theirs in a way
it's never been ours.
1674
01:44:58,859 --> 01:45:01,851
The Indian never intended to mold
himself into white man's ways.
1675
01:45:01,928 --> 01:45:03,520
Why should he?
1676
01:45:03,597 --> 01:45:05,997
His ways made sense
for centuries.
1677
01:45:06,066 --> 01:45:09,331
So our great plans of fitting
him into white society
1678
01:45:09,403 --> 01:45:11,234
were doomed from the start.
1679
01:45:11,571 --> 01:45:15,132
He formed an indigestible mass
in the belly of progress.
1680
01:45:15,876 --> 01:45:18,174
And he had to be regurgitated.
1681
01:45:19,179 --> 01:45:20,646
Like Jonah.
1682
01:45:21,348 --> 01:45:24,044
He came out about as
well as he came in.
1683
01:45:25,419 --> 01:45:28,877
It was inevitable that his land
would be taken away from him.
1684
01:45:28,955 --> 01:45:31,082
The white man was in motion.
1685
01:45:31,158 --> 01:45:32,853
The Indian wasn't.
1686
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:35,619
The whole thrust of
our national life
1687
01:45:35,696 --> 01:45:38,688
puts us in conflict
with his simple needs.
1688
01:46:11,365 --> 01:46:14,095
And even though we asked him
to gather his nations together
1689
01:46:14,167 --> 01:46:15,725
to come and meet
with us in peace,
1690
01:46:15,802 --> 01:46:19,033
to come with understanding
hearts and minds,
1691
01:46:19,272 --> 01:46:22,605
even though they believed we
wanted peace as much as they did,
1692
01:46:23,076 --> 01:46:25,101
and came to celebrate
the great treaty
1693
01:46:25,178 --> 01:46:27,510
that would last for as
long as the eagle flies
1694
01:46:27,581 --> 01:46:29,242
and the waters flow,
1695
01:46:29,316 --> 01:46:33,252
the land treaties we offered with the
best of intentions couldn't last.
1696
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:36,255
At the very moment of
signing, the wisest of men
1697
01:46:36,323 --> 01:46:38,883
knew the papers
weren't worth a damn.
1698
01:46:38,959 --> 01:46:42,690
Before the ink was dry, the
Indian was dispossessed.
1699
01:46:48,535 --> 01:46:49,661
No.
1700
01:46:55,909 --> 01:46:57,399
Full ahead!
1701
01:47:09,589 --> 01:47:11,716
We have no guns! Stop!
1702
01:47:18,765 --> 01:47:20,198
What are you doing with them?
1703
01:47:20,267 --> 01:47:21,700
Captured prisoners, sir.
1704
01:47:21,768 --> 01:47:23,030
Nits grow into lice!
1705
01:47:24,738 --> 01:47:25,796
Kill them.
1706
01:47:42,923 --> 01:47:44,788
I'm sorry.
1707
01:47:56,937 --> 01:47:57,937
Lew,
1708
01:48:00,774 --> 01:48:04,141
I may not know what I think
about Watergate or Wendell,
1709
01:48:04,211 --> 01:48:07,009
but I know what I think
about the American Indian.
1710
01:48:07,180 --> 01:48:10,877
And I suppose it's a smaller,
less important problem
1711
01:48:11,084 --> 01:48:13,348
than equality for
the black people,
1712
01:48:15,188 --> 01:48:18,919
but a lot of the world has had to deal
with slavery and its consequences,
1713
01:48:19,626 --> 01:48:22,993
and the American Indian is this
nation's unique moral headache.
1714
01:48:24,064 --> 01:48:26,259
You're a history teacher, Lew.
1715
01:48:26,967 --> 01:48:28,832
Can you think of
anything in the world
1716
01:48:28,902 --> 01:48:31,462
that parallels our treatment
of the American Indian?
1717
01:48:32,739 --> 01:48:35,503
The English killed
off the Tasmanians,
1718
01:48:35,575 --> 01:48:38,271
the Australians kept
the aborigine debased,
1719
01:48:38,345 --> 01:48:39,369
Brazil was the same.
1720
01:48:40,046 --> 01:48:42,879
Only in America did we
show total confusion.
1721
01:48:43,683 --> 01:48:46,413
One day we treated the Indians
like sovereign nations.
1722
01:48:46,486 --> 01:48:48,920
The next day we treated
them like uneducated,
1723
01:48:48,989 --> 01:48:52,982
uncivilized savages that
had to be exterminated.
1724
01:48:54,728 --> 01:48:57,162
Our policy today
is still confused,
1725
01:48:57,964 --> 01:48:59,226
but I'm not.
1726
01:49:01,001 --> 01:49:02,229
What about the land?
1727
01:49:02,836 --> 01:49:04,394
I'll give it to them.
1728
01:49:04,471 --> 01:49:06,268
Divide it up equally.
1729
01:49:07,407 --> 01:49:09,252
The ones that still want
to live in the communes,
1730
01:49:09,276 --> 01:49:12,074
let them, encourage it like they did
with the Pueblos in New Mexico.
1731
01:49:12,679 --> 01:49:13,805
And the others?
1732
01:49:15,148 --> 01:49:18,777
Well, the others are gonna have to
jump in with both feet. Sink or swim.
1733
01:49:19,286 --> 01:49:22,050
Like my family had to.
And like yours had to.
1734
01:49:23,390 --> 01:49:24,948
A lot could be lost.
1735
01:49:25,025 --> 01:49:27,550
The best will survive.
1736
01:49:27,827 --> 01:49:29,556
In legend.
1737
01:49:30,530 --> 01:49:31,997
In remembered ways
of doing things.
1738
01:49:32,065 --> 01:49:33,464
In how they treated the land.
1739
01:49:35,235 --> 01:49:37,100
Just look at the land.
1740
01:49:38,939 --> 01:49:41,999
The best part of America.
No houses,
1741
01:49:42,576 --> 01:49:45,409
only the road we came in on.
No fences, no boundaries,
1742
01:49:48,081 --> 01:49:51,016
just the wall we've built
around those people.
1743
01:49:51,518 --> 01:49:53,486
You know, you can preserve
natural resources,
1744
01:49:53,553 --> 01:49:55,851
you can't preserve human beings.
1745
01:49:56,690 --> 01:49:59,318
Thank God they're not whooping
cranes to be kept alive
1746
01:49:59,392 --> 01:50:01,155
until the last one's dead.
1747
01:50:01,227 --> 01:50:04,788
And they are not freaks of nature to
be kept away from the rest of us.
1748
01:50:05,799 --> 01:50:07,790
They're human beings.
1749
01:50:10,904 --> 01:50:12,997
Human beings.
1750
01:50:15,375 --> 01:50:17,935
You know, for a man who doesn't
want to be a politician,
1751
01:50:18,011 --> 01:50:19,239
that was quite a speech.
1752
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:23,007
I'm just trying to be myself.
1753
01:50:23,083 --> 01:50:24,243
My own man.
1754
01:50:24,918 --> 01:50:28,820
Baby, I don't think anyone's
ever had any doubt about that.
1755
01:50:31,191 --> 01:50:32,351
I have.
1756
01:50:36,630 --> 01:50:39,064
What in the hell am I doing
living alone in that castle
1757
01:50:39,132 --> 01:50:41,066
when I should be
living with you?
1758
01:50:41,501 --> 01:50:43,833
I'm a respectable
widower of eight years.
1759
01:50:43,903 --> 01:50:46,133
My kids are grown and gone.
1760
01:50:48,541 --> 01:50:50,839
You ever been to a
Mexican wedding, Lew?
1761
01:50:51,444 --> 01:50:52,536
No.
1762
01:50:53,146 --> 01:50:54,807
The lady I love's Mexican.
1763
01:50:55,281 --> 01:50:58,375
Paul, no. Not now. Not before...
Flor.
1764
01:50:58,451 --> 01:50:59,451
Flor,
1765
01:51:01,021 --> 01:51:02,955
whatever Wendell
thinks of Chicanos,
1766
01:51:03,023 --> 01:51:06,049
or whatever he thinks
Colorado thinks of Chicanos,
1767
01:51:06,126 --> 01:51:09,152
doesn't mean buffalo
chips to me.
1768
01:51:10,730 --> 01:51:14,530
I know who you are
and I know who I am.
1769
01:51:16,302 --> 01:51:18,532
And I know where you belong.
1770
01:53:09,582 --> 01:53:10,708
Mr. Garrett?
1771
01:53:10,784 --> 01:53:13,378
What is it? What's happening?
It's a serenade, ma'am.
1772
01:53:13,453 --> 01:53:15,580
I know, but what for?
1773
01:53:16,456 --> 01:53:17,980
For the lady I'm gonna marry.
1774
01:53:21,728 --> 01:53:23,195
Is that an announcement, Paul?
1775
01:53:24,330 --> 01:53:26,764
That's a Mexican custom, Morgan.
1776
01:53:28,101 --> 01:53:29,500
I make the serenade,
1777
01:53:30,670 --> 01:53:31,950
the lady makes the announcement.
1778
01:53:33,239 --> 01:53:34,467
If she's willing.
1779
01:53:37,677 --> 01:53:38,939
Si. Como no?
1780
01:53:53,359 --> 01:53:55,827
I want a picture of the bride,
I want a picture of the groom,
1781
01:53:55,895 --> 01:53:57,954
I want a picture of the
interior of the restaurant,
1782
01:53:58,031 --> 01:53:59,911
I want a picture of all
of them together, pronto.
1783
01:54:10,276 --> 01:54:13,871
I've always admired the
romantic side of Paul's nature.
1784
01:54:14,881 --> 01:54:17,782
But politically, he could
be sealing his own grave.
1785
01:54:18,918 --> 01:54:21,113
That could be true, I guess.
1786
01:54:22,188 --> 01:54:24,179
But then he wouldn't be
the only one around here
1787
01:54:24,257 --> 01:54:25,815
sealing graves lately, would he?
1788
01:54:41,674 --> 01:54:44,108
Now you boys know how
I feel about skiing.
1789
01:54:44,344 --> 01:54:46,121
The mountains are a good
place for recreation.
1790
01:54:46,145 --> 01:54:47,908
A good place to get
away from pressures.
1791
01:54:48,948 --> 01:54:51,781
A resort like this that doesn't
scar the landscape is a good thing.
1792
01:54:51,851 --> 01:54:54,183
It brings the rewards of
nature to more people.
1793
01:54:55,355 --> 01:54:58,051
You wanna build some runs
along the highway, okay.
1794
01:54:58,124 --> 01:55:00,592
But start commercializing the
back valleys, I'll fight you.
1795
01:55:01,928 --> 01:55:03,793
That's if I'm elected.
1796
01:55:05,298 --> 01:55:08,461
The Mile High City just might
not be high enough anymore.
1797
01:55:10,937 --> 01:55:13,599
The University of Boulder
has copies of the letters
1798
01:55:13,673 --> 01:55:15,470
that Elly Zendt wrote
when she came west
1799
01:55:15,541 --> 01:55:17,304
with Levi in 1845.
1800
01:55:19,379 --> 01:55:20,903
I remember reading
where she said
1801
01:55:20,980 --> 01:55:23,039
that when they were
105 miles away,
1802
01:55:23,116 --> 01:55:25,448
she could see the
Rockies so clearly
1803
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:29,020
that they could pick
out the valleys.
1804
01:55:29,722 --> 01:55:31,383
Now look at them.
1805
01:55:31,991 --> 01:55:34,687
That just might be the
saddest sight in America.
1806
01:55:35,962 --> 01:55:38,590
We're 10 miles away and
you can't see anything.
1807
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:42,925
Just that lens of filth.
1808
01:55:43,202 --> 01:55:44,999
Could be that one day
when you wanna see
1809
01:55:45,071 --> 01:55:47,562
the unspoiled
grandeur of Colorado,
1810
01:55:49,609 --> 01:55:51,372
you'll have to go to Wyoming.
1811
01:55:53,613 --> 01:55:55,376
This is an analog.
1812
01:55:55,448 --> 01:55:57,746
It shows you the whole Platte
system as it is today.
1813
01:55:58,284 --> 01:56:01,276
But it can also show you what
could happen five years from now
1814
01:56:01,387 --> 01:56:03,912
if we continue to increase
the demand for water.
1815
01:56:04,891 --> 01:56:08,258
Now, for our purposes we'll consider
the precipitation remains constant.
1816
01:56:08,995 --> 01:56:11,725
You see, that first red light
represents increased demand
1817
01:56:11,798 --> 01:56:13,322
by communities of new people.
1818
01:56:16,436 --> 01:56:18,028
Have a look at the
oscilloscope now.
1819
01:56:19,272 --> 01:56:21,297
That shadow line was the
even flow of the river.
1820
01:56:21,374 --> 01:56:23,205
And you can see it
drops dramatically.
1821
01:56:23,943 --> 01:56:25,638
Proving what we predicted.
1822
01:56:25,878 --> 01:56:27,607
Now, if you'll look downstream,
1823
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:29,147
real shortages down there,
1824
01:56:29,215 --> 01:56:31,240
but we still have a river.
1825
01:56:32,352 --> 01:56:34,843
What happens if you increase
the demand for industry, too?
1826
01:56:43,229 --> 01:56:45,561
It means that agriculture is
gonna be hurting like hell.
1827
01:56:55,808 --> 01:56:59,141
And if we crank in five years of drought
like we've just been through...
1828
01:57:07,020 --> 01:57:09,045
The Platte stops flowing.
1829
01:57:11,290 --> 01:57:12,882
Maybe forever.
1830
01:57:15,628 --> 01:57:17,357
Has Wendell seen this?
1831
01:57:17,430 --> 01:57:18,430
Oh, yes.
1832
01:57:18,498 --> 01:57:20,261
And given us lip service.
1833
01:57:20,833 --> 01:57:22,144
But you know as
well as I do, Paul.
1834
01:57:22,168 --> 01:57:24,102
He wants to bring new
industry into the state.
1835
01:57:25,004 --> 01:57:27,802
Do we have options? A few.
1836
01:57:28,408 --> 01:57:31,434
But they have to be explained
to people in hard-nosed terms.
1837
01:57:31,511 --> 01:57:33,809
Like, if we keep stealing
water away from our farms,
1838
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,246
onions are gonna have
to cost $10 apiece.
1839
01:57:37,350 --> 01:57:41,013
I thought the job was making
sure we had good air to breathe.
1840
01:57:41,587 --> 01:57:44,784
Now it includes making sure
there's water to drink.
1841
01:57:46,359 --> 01:57:48,088
After we meet with
the soil experts,
1842
01:57:48,161 --> 01:57:49,605
we'll probably find
out the main thing
1843
01:57:49,629 --> 01:57:51,790
is making sure we
have earth to till.
1844
01:57:52,765 --> 01:57:54,494
This nation is running
out of everything.
1845
01:57:55,768 --> 01:57:58,100
We gotta get back to
a sense of res...
1846
01:58:04,243 --> 01:58:05,505
Oh, Sid, come in.
1847
01:58:05,578 --> 01:58:08,069
I bring thee good
tidings of great joy.
1848
01:58:08,681 --> 01:58:10,945
They like the material so far?
They love it.
1849
01:58:11,884 --> 01:58:13,929
Well, we can thank Paul Garrett
for giving us the feeling
1850
01:58:13,953 --> 01:58:15,614
of what the westerner
is doing today.
1851
01:58:15,688 --> 01:58:18,418
If you really want to say thanks to
Paul, I have some other news, too.
1852
01:58:19,225 --> 01:58:20,249
The lab?
1853
01:58:21,060 --> 01:58:23,255
How does the year 1889 grab you?
1854
01:58:24,363 --> 01:58:27,332
They can be that specific?
Mmm-hmm. So can we.
1855
01:58:27,567 --> 01:58:29,762
That was the exact year
that Soren Sorenson
1856
01:58:29,836 --> 01:58:31,895
disappeared from the
face of this earth.
1857
01:58:31,971 --> 01:58:34,565
Or got himself buried
by the Wendells.
1858
01:58:34,640 --> 01:58:36,608
Then it's all true.
1859
01:58:37,176 --> 01:58:40,168
And a very timely press
release, I thought.
1860
01:58:40,246 --> 01:58:42,908
Well, I don't know.
1861
01:58:43,583 --> 01:58:45,414
W-What do you mean
you don't know?
1862
01:58:45,485 --> 01:58:48,045
Paul Garrett's the kind of fellow
that likes to make decisions
1863
01:58:48,121 --> 01:58:49,213
that affect his life,
1864
01:58:49,288 --> 01:58:52,121
and I'd say this is a
choice that belongs to him.
1865
01:58:55,128 --> 01:58:56,220
Paul?
1866
01:58:57,597 --> 01:58:59,064
Company.
1867
01:58:59,398 --> 01:59:00,797
Hello, Paul.
1868
01:59:01,134 --> 01:59:02,396
Morgan.
1869
01:59:02,869 --> 01:59:06,100
Well, I'll leave you two alone.
Excuse me.
1870
01:59:08,407 --> 01:59:10,341
Mr. Wendell, would you
like some coffee?
1871
01:59:10,409 --> 01:59:12,309
No, thank you. Paul?
1872
01:59:12,979 --> 01:59:14,105
No, thanks, Flor.
1873
01:59:20,286 --> 01:59:22,481
What can I do for you, Morgan?
1874
01:59:24,223 --> 01:59:27,192
Well, I heard what Calendar's
attorney did to you
1875
01:59:27,260 --> 01:59:28,420
at the trial,
1876
01:59:28,494 --> 01:59:30,428
and a couple of the
boys that work for me
1877
01:59:30,496 --> 01:59:32,896
told me something that
I just don't believe.
1878
01:59:32,999 --> 01:59:34,125
What's that?
1879
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:35,978
I chewed their tails out
pretty good when they told me,
1880
01:59:36,002 --> 01:59:38,232
I can promise you that.
What for?
1881
01:59:38,304 --> 01:59:42,707
Well, you know how young people
are in politics sometimes.
1882
01:59:43,209 --> 01:59:46,269
It was just a couple of kids,
they went to Calendar's attorney
1883
01:59:46,345 --> 01:59:49,109
and told him that you
were going with Flor.
1884
01:59:49,815 --> 01:59:51,735
They knew that he'd jump
at the chance, of course,
1885
01:59:51,784 --> 01:59:54,275
to discredit you with the people
that were following Calendar.
1886
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:55,578
The damn little fools,
1887
01:59:55,655 --> 01:59:57,816
they thought they were going
to be of help to me, too.
1888
01:59:57,890 --> 02:00:00,222
Playing all the
bigots in the state.
1889
02:00:00,293 --> 02:00:02,693
It's gonna cancel
out votes for you.
1890
02:00:03,062 --> 02:00:04,757
They even hired
those photographers
1891
02:00:04,830 --> 02:00:07,424
and helped push the
shots of you and Flor
1892
02:00:07,500 --> 02:00:08,865
to a couple of the papers.
1893
02:00:09,735 --> 02:00:12,169
Paul, I want you
to know something,
1894
02:00:12,405 --> 02:00:13,804
I'm really embarrassed
about this.
1895
02:00:13,873 --> 02:00:16,307
I called the papers, I
told them what happened,
1896
02:00:16,375 --> 02:00:19,344
I told them what I thought of
them for printing the pictures.
1897
02:00:19,412 --> 02:00:22,939
And I sent those two little
rattlesnakes packing.
1898
02:00:23,349 --> 02:00:25,647
Well, I appreciate it, Morgan.
1899
02:00:27,119 --> 02:00:29,144
But it wasn't necessary.
1900
02:00:30,723 --> 02:00:32,953
Meaning that you figured
it was something out...
1901
02:00:33,025 --> 02:00:35,152
Meaning it wasn't necessary.
1902
02:00:36,562 --> 02:00:39,429
The pictures of our wedding
announcement appeared in the paper
1903
02:00:39,498 --> 02:00:40,863
a little after that.
1904
02:00:40,933 --> 02:00:43,265
They didn't need any pushing.
So you're not sore, then?
1905
02:00:44,604 --> 02:00:46,663
I'd only be sore if you
put them up to it.
1906
02:00:48,708 --> 02:00:52,144
Well, I just wanted to make sure
that you knew what happened.
1907
02:00:52,645 --> 02:00:56,012
You see, I got wind that you
were planning a little reprisal.
1908
02:00:56,782 --> 02:00:58,249
Reprisal?
1909
02:00:58,517 --> 02:00:59,950
Through that fellow Vernor.
1910
02:01:01,153 --> 02:01:02,415
You lost me.
1911
02:01:03,089 --> 02:01:05,319
You know, for a fellow
1912
02:01:05,891 --> 02:01:07,931
who doesn't have any place
for politics in his life,
1913
02:01:07,994 --> 02:01:10,895
I get the feeling that
you're learning pretty fast.
1914
02:01:11,264 --> 02:01:13,664
All right, point-blank
then, Paul.
1915
02:01:14,834 --> 02:01:18,827
Telling the history to the
world of that old beaver cave
1916
02:01:19,272 --> 02:01:22,673
is gonna be a source of great
embarrassment to my whole family.
1917
02:01:23,409 --> 02:01:25,206
Not to me personally,
1918
02:01:25,278 --> 02:01:27,473
but to Emma and the kids.
1919
02:01:27,913 --> 02:01:29,881
Maybe even their kids.
1920
02:01:31,317 --> 02:01:34,650
I know how much that rumor used
to hurt me when I was growing up.
1921
02:01:36,389 --> 02:01:39,324
But for them to read proof
that it really happened,
1922
02:01:39,792 --> 02:01:42,420
and for their friends to read
it in a national magazine...
1923
02:01:45,631 --> 02:01:48,156
Well, I'm asking you to not
let that happen to them.
1924
02:01:51,070 --> 02:01:52,799
Let's have a drink.
1925
02:01:54,373 --> 02:01:55,373
No.
1926
02:01:57,677 --> 02:02:00,271
I'd like you to give me your
word that you won't let Vernor
1927
02:02:00,346 --> 02:02:01,904
print anything about it.
1928
02:02:02,882 --> 02:02:05,146
I see. I know it's not
going to come out
1929
02:02:05,217 --> 02:02:06,707
till after the election,
1930
02:02:06,786 --> 02:02:08,777
but I don't think that
ancient history like that
1931
02:02:08,854 --> 02:02:11,049
has any more place in
influencing people's minds
1932
02:02:11,123 --> 02:02:13,284
about issues than that
kind of racial prejudice
1933
02:02:13,359 --> 02:02:16,988
that my boys were trying to
dump off on you and Flor.
1934
02:02:17,196 --> 02:02:19,164
Will you give me
your word, Paul?
1935
02:02:19,231 --> 02:02:23,167
You should know, Morgan, I wouldn't do
anything to hurt you or your family.
1936
02:02:23,235 --> 02:02:24,395
I do.
1937
02:02:24,603 --> 02:02:26,628
But I can only trust
a man I know.
1938
02:02:26,706 --> 02:02:28,537
And I don't know Vernor.
1939
02:02:28,607 --> 02:02:31,576
And I'll tell you something
else, and I mean it.
1940
02:02:32,044 --> 02:02:34,342
I would rather withdraw
from this race right now
1941
02:02:34,413 --> 02:02:36,325
than worry for a minute about
him printing something
1942
02:02:36,349 --> 02:02:40,308
that could destroy the reputation that
my family built developing this area.
1943
02:02:41,287 --> 02:02:42,914
Withdraw?
1944
02:02:43,489 --> 02:02:44,820
Yes, sir.
1945
02:02:46,625 --> 02:02:48,650
I don't want that, Morgan.
1946
02:02:51,764 --> 02:02:53,254
Your word, then?
1947
02:02:55,267 --> 02:02:56,859
You have it.
1948
02:02:58,003 --> 02:02:59,095
Withdraw?
1949
02:02:59,171 --> 02:03:01,366
Yeah, he said, he'd pull out
if I approved something
1950
02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:04,068
that Lew might want to
use in your article.
1951
02:03:04,143 --> 02:03:05,872
That's wild.
1952
02:03:06,078 --> 02:03:07,204
What's wild?
1953
02:03:07,279 --> 02:03:09,270
That he is so scared.
Scared of what?
1954
02:03:09,348 --> 02:03:11,680
A skeleton. A skeleton?
1955
02:03:12,184 --> 02:03:15,153
It might not go down as as
big a find as diplodocus,
1956
02:03:15,221 --> 02:03:18,315
but it does look like it's changing
the course of history in Colorado.
1957
02:03:18,391 --> 02:03:20,518
Throw in the towel, huh?
No, no, no.
1958
02:03:20,593 --> 02:03:23,858
But you just said...
He offered to.
1959
02:03:23,929 --> 02:03:25,191
And you're not gonna let him?
1960
02:03:25,264 --> 02:03:28,427
No, to tell you the truth, I didn't know
what in the hell he was talking about.
1961
02:03:28,501 --> 02:03:30,992
I still don't. I'm not sure
what you two are talking about.
1962
02:03:32,471 --> 02:03:36,202
It's a bigger find than
diplodocus, skeletons...
1963
02:03:37,143 --> 02:03:40,010
Oh, are you trying to tell
me that you found some bones
1964
02:03:40,079 --> 02:03:41,307
and Morgan believes...
1965
02:03:44,984 --> 02:03:47,282
You didn't find the
body of the man
1966
02:03:47,353 --> 02:03:49,321
that his grandparents
supposedly murdered?
1967
02:03:50,523 --> 02:03:52,218
He did, and I saw him.
1968
02:03:52,291 --> 02:03:54,088
I didn't know why he
was so terrified.
1969
02:03:54,160 --> 02:03:56,025
Sid told me the story.
1970
02:03:56,095 --> 02:03:57,858
Lew found part of it.
1971
02:03:57,930 --> 02:03:59,921
I took it to New York,
and I had it analyzed.
1972
02:03:59,999 --> 02:04:03,230
It's human, it's close
to a century old.
1973
02:04:03,436 --> 02:04:05,666
And the unsolved
murder was 1889.
1974
02:04:10,409 --> 02:04:13,105
You walk around with that tape
recorder on all the time.
1975
02:04:13,179 --> 02:04:15,443
You must have known about this.
Why didn't you tell me?
1976
02:04:15,514 --> 02:04:17,505
I have to work from facts.
1977
02:04:17,583 --> 02:04:19,943
Sid just verified it, and we
were going to tell you tomorrow.
1978
02:04:21,086 --> 02:04:22,280
I'll be damned.
1979
02:04:23,055 --> 02:04:24,055
What?
1980
02:04:25,524 --> 02:04:28,516
All this time Morgan's been
trying to manipulate me
1981
02:04:28,594 --> 02:04:32,530
by telling me that the past has
no relationship to the present,
1982
02:04:32,998 --> 02:04:36,297
but what the hell are we if we're
not the product of the past?
1983
02:04:36,368 --> 02:04:37,913
And what kind of future
are we going to have
1984
02:04:37,937 --> 02:04:40,462
if we don't realize we're
creating it right now?
1985
02:04:41,474 --> 02:04:43,874
That's what this campaign
is all about, isn't it?
1986
02:04:45,177 --> 02:04:48,078
You know, there've been a couple
of times in the last week or two
1987
02:04:48,147 --> 02:04:50,911
when I felt like kicking
your can back to Georgia
1988
02:04:50,983 --> 02:04:53,850
because you got me
involved in this race.
1989
02:04:54,720 --> 02:04:56,915
Now, I'm damned
glad to be in it.
1990
02:04:57,356 --> 02:04:59,881
I don't even know
if I'm the best man
1991
02:04:59,959 --> 02:05:03,053
but I know the state of
Colorado can not survive
1992
02:05:03,128 --> 02:05:05,528
many more people
like the Wendells.
1993
02:05:25,317 --> 02:05:28,150
Today we are going to hear
the views of two candidates
1994
02:05:28,220 --> 02:05:30,188
for a unique and
innovative office,
1995
02:05:30,256 --> 02:05:33,123
an office which is
going to seek ways
1996
02:05:33,192 --> 02:05:35,183
of dealing with an
age-old problem.
1997
02:05:35,261 --> 02:05:37,491
Now, that problem is survival.
1998
02:05:37,596 --> 02:05:41,726
The office is known as the Commissioner
of Resources and Priorities.
1999
02:05:41,901 --> 02:05:44,335
The candidates are two men from
the same part of the state,
2000
02:05:44,403 --> 02:05:47,031
Mr. Morgan Wendell and Mr.
Paul Garrett.
2001
02:05:47,106 --> 02:05:49,233
Mr. Wendell, your involvement
in politics to date
2002
02:05:49,308 --> 02:05:51,742
has been that of support for
various interest groups
2003
02:05:51,810 --> 02:05:54,745
attempting to lure
industry to Colorado.
2004
02:05:54,813 --> 02:05:56,124
Do you feel you can
satisfactorily
2005
02:05:56,148 --> 02:05:59,447
walk the tightrope between the
industrialists and the conservationists?
2006
02:05:59,518 --> 02:06:03,079
Well, Mr. Kinsman, I was hoping
someone would open up with that one.
2007
02:06:03,956 --> 02:06:06,550
I am dedicated to
growth for Colorado.
2008
02:06:06,992 --> 02:06:10,985
But as a member of a family that pioneered
land development in this state,
2009
02:06:11,063 --> 02:06:14,521
I am very aware of the risks
involved without careful controls
2010
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:16,261
and proper planning.
2011
02:06:16,335 --> 02:06:19,532
I've been working for some time
with the leaders of industry
2012
02:06:19,605 --> 02:06:21,732
to create a responsible program
2013
02:06:21,807 --> 02:06:24,503
that makes careful
and constructive use
2014
02:06:24,577 --> 02:06:26,067
of the vast open space
2015
02:06:26,145 --> 02:06:28,579
and the untapped
natural resources
2016
02:06:28,747 --> 02:06:30,738
that we have here
at our disposal.
2017
02:06:30,816 --> 02:06:33,649
Mr. Garrett, you were a last-second
entry into this contest.
2018
02:06:33,719 --> 02:06:37,086
Would you tell us why it took you
so long to announce your candidacy?
2019
02:06:37,156 --> 02:06:40,956
I guess I felt that
people deserved a choice.
2020
02:06:41,293 --> 02:06:43,523
Well, it wouldn't seem your
views are that different.
2021
02:06:43,596 --> 02:06:46,588
You're both conservative businessmen
from the same community,
2022
02:06:46,665 --> 02:06:48,257
and I understand you
grew up together,
2023
02:06:48,334 --> 02:06:51,735
went through school together, and
even graduated in the same class
2024
02:06:51,804 --> 02:06:53,533
at the University of Colorado.
2025
02:06:53,606 --> 02:06:56,734
I think you'll find that Ulysses S.
Grant and Robert E. Lee
2026
02:06:56,809 --> 02:06:58,606
went to school together, too.
2027
02:07:00,546 --> 02:07:02,741
The differences between
you are that great, then?
2028
02:07:02,815 --> 02:07:04,043
I'd say they were basic.
2029
02:07:05,451 --> 02:07:07,681
Could you define them
more specifically?
2030
02:07:07,753 --> 02:07:12,486
Well, Morgan has always been
more interested in the future.
2031
02:07:13,092 --> 02:07:18,029
And I have had more contact
with the past, I guess.
2032
02:07:18,564 --> 02:07:21,158
Well, we are headed toward
the future, Mr. Garrett.
2033
02:07:22,067 --> 02:07:25,195
And we're living in what used
to be the future right now.
2034
02:07:25,604 --> 02:07:27,572
I think we ought to compare
that with the past
2035
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:30,541
before we go on racing
straight ahead like we are.
2036
02:07:30,609 --> 02:07:32,270
Mr. Wendell, it seems
there's an issue
2037
02:07:32,344 --> 02:07:35,024
right in the community both of you
gentlemen were born and raised in,
2038
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:36,479
the town of Centennial,
2039
02:07:36,548 --> 02:07:39,779
that gets to the core of the kind of
developmental issues you'll be facing.
2040
02:07:39,852 --> 02:07:41,183
Central Beet?
2041
02:07:41,253 --> 02:07:43,221
Yes. Could you give us
your comments, please?
2042
02:07:43,322 --> 02:07:46,485
Well, Central Beet has
dominated life in Colorado
2043
02:07:46,558 --> 02:07:48,526
since I was a little boy.
2044
02:07:48,927 --> 02:07:51,896
As late as 1936 it
dictated to banks
2045
02:07:51,964 --> 02:07:54,660
and school boards and
sheriff's offices.
2046
02:07:55,100 --> 02:07:57,625
For thousands of farmers
and small-town business,
2047
02:07:57,970 --> 02:07:59,665
Central Beet has been Colorado.
2048
02:07:59,738 --> 02:08:03,299
But the whole point of this new
office is that times are changing.
2049
02:08:03,876 --> 02:08:06,242
The sugar beet industry isn't
doing that well anymore,
2050
02:08:06,311 --> 02:08:08,973
so it isn't that
important to us anymore.
2051
02:08:09,048 --> 02:08:11,482
But the plant in Centennial
is still pumping out
2052
02:08:11,550 --> 02:08:14,348
the kind of industrial waste
that pollutes our air,
2053
02:08:14,420 --> 02:08:16,081
and I think that
has to be stopped.
2054
02:08:16,488 --> 02:08:17,614
Mr. Garrett?
2055
02:08:17,690 --> 02:08:19,988
The beet industry
isn't doing well
2056
02:08:20,059 --> 02:08:23,028
because so many people use
the land for other purposes.
2057
02:08:23,962 --> 02:08:26,556
The farmer can't afford
to reserve it for beets.
2058
02:08:27,433 --> 02:08:29,867
So he sells to land developers,
2059
02:08:30,335 --> 02:08:32,860
and they build little towns
for the people back east.
2060
02:08:32,938 --> 02:08:35,907
And that drives up the price and
leaves the farmer no alternative.
2061
02:08:36,909 --> 02:08:39,503
But he won't be the loser,
that's the whole point.
2062
02:08:39,578 --> 02:08:40,840
He'll make money from the land
2063
02:08:40,913 --> 02:08:42,904
and Central Beet will
make a profit, too,
2064
02:08:42,981 --> 02:08:45,021
from the same kind of
development you just mentioned.
2065
02:08:45,050 --> 02:08:48,679
Ninety-seven little Colonial
houses all in a row, huh?
2066
02:08:49,555 --> 02:08:52,854
Well, they've been building those a
lot longer than ranch houses, Paul.
2067
02:08:52,925 --> 02:08:54,654
What about the feedlots, Morgan?
2068
02:08:54,727 --> 02:08:57,855
They depend on the sugar
beet pulp and the molasses.
2069
02:08:58,263 --> 02:09:00,731
If you close Central Beet,
people like Harvey Brumbaugh
2070
02:09:00,799 --> 02:09:03,399
are gonna have to go somewhere else
to afford the cost of shipping.
2071
02:09:03,702 --> 02:09:05,022
It's better than a
whole community
2072
02:09:05,070 --> 02:09:08,597
having to continue absorbing all
that air pollution from the plant.
2073
02:09:08,674 --> 02:09:09,874
How about the cattle industry?
2074
02:09:09,942 --> 02:09:11,170
They depend on the feedlots.
2075
02:09:12,845 --> 02:09:15,143
Ah, there's the rub, isn't it?
2076
02:09:15,380 --> 02:09:16,904
The cattle industry.
2077
02:09:17,116 --> 02:09:20,415
Morgan, I'm not the only cattleman
in the state of Colorado.
2078
02:09:20,586 --> 02:09:22,315
No, that's true.
2079
02:09:22,387 --> 02:09:24,287
Only its most
eloquent spokesman.
2080
02:09:25,390 --> 02:09:27,017
Thank you for that.
2081
02:09:27,092 --> 02:09:29,458
The simple fact is, and
it's gonna be a tough one
2082
02:09:29,528 --> 02:09:31,496
for men like yourself,
Paul, to handle.
2083
02:09:31,563 --> 02:09:34,191
A whole pattern of
life is vanishing.
2084
02:09:34,500 --> 02:09:36,229
The time is at hand
2085
02:09:36,535 --> 02:09:39,504
when the cattle industry may
be forced to quit Colorado.
2086
02:09:39,571 --> 02:09:41,562
Quit? For land development?
2087
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:43,665
No. For people who want
to live where we do.
2088
02:09:43,742 --> 02:09:46,540
And why shouldn't they? Why shouldn't
they be allowed to come out here
2089
02:09:46,612 --> 02:09:48,705
the way my ancestors
did, and yours, too.
2090
02:09:49,081 --> 02:09:52,346
Why shouldn't they have the same
kind of freedom that we had?
2091
02:09:52,551 --> 02:09:54,542
Yes, and wealth, too.
2092
02:09:55,487 --> 02:09:57,352
That the Wendells and the
Garretts have known?
2093
02:09:57,422 --> 02:09:59,822
Colorado needs cattle, Morgan.
2094
02:10:00,726 --> 02:10:03,058
Well, we won't ever
be without cattle.
2095
02:10:03,128 --> 02:10:04,686
Just cattle ranches.
2096
02:10:04,763 --> 02:10:07,630
Look, the feedlot
concept proved that.
2097
02:10:07,833 --> 02:10:10,563
You herd them into lots,
stuff them with feed,
2098
02:10:10,636 --> 02:10:12,103
send them off to market.
2099
02:10:12,171 --> 02:10:14,969
Not much romance to it,
but it gets the job done.
2100
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:17,474
And that's your idea
of the future, huh?
2101
02:10:18,343 --> 02:10:21,403
Gonna raise cows like they raise
those new-style chickens?
2102
02:10:22,481 --> 02:10:23,709
They never touch the earth.
2103
02:10:24,550 --> 02:10:27,678
In sanitized pens
from birth to death.
2104
02:10:28,053 --> 02:10:31,989
We're gonna have cowboys with college
degrees and little white aprons.
2105
02:10:32,424 --> 02:10:36,121
We're gonna ship the manure out
in little desiccated pellets.
2106
02:10:36,395 --> 02:10:39,762
Well, I know it sounds a
little like Buck Rogers, Paul.
2107
02:10:39,965 --> 02:10:41,592
But I believe the time is coming
2108
02:10:41,667 --> 02:10:44,101
when we won't be able to
afford cows in Colorado.
2109
02:10:45,037 --> 02:10:48,666
Our land is too valuable a
commodity to the people.
2110
02:10:49,208 --> 02:10:51,335
We've got to look elsewhere
for cheaper land.
2111
02:10:51,410 --> 02:10:53,640
For now, Wyoming and Montana.
2112
02:10:54,346 --> 02:10:58,339
It could be a state like Indiana.
It's close to a feed supply.
2113
02:10:58,417 --> 02:11:01,284
On the other hand, I was reading
some reports the other day
2114
02:11:01,353 --> 02:11:05,153
about how you can feed
cottonseed cakes to Herefords.
2115
02:11:05,357 --> 02:11:09,157
Maybe the entire operation will
be moved to Alabama or Georgia.
2116
02:11:09,795 --> 02:11:12,320
That's not as far-fetched
as it sounds.
2117
02:11:12,865 --> 02:11:14,609
But I sure as hell don't
wanna see it happen.
2118
02:11:14,633 --> 02:11:16,897
And I'm gonna fight to see
that it doesn't happen.
2119
02:11:16,969 --> 02:11:18,527
You can't win, Paul.
2120
02:11:18,604 --> 02:11:22,096
No, you can't win, Morgan.
We can't let you win.
2121
02:11:23,275 --> 02:11:26,938
Everything has its limits,
even land development.
2122
02:11:27,880 --> 02:11:30,246
What's it gonna profit this
state if we overpopulate it
2123
02:11:30,315 --> 02:11:33,773
to such an extent that we strip
it of all its natural resources?
2124
02:11:33,852 --> 02:11:36,082
The earth isn't something
that you keep taking from,
2125
02:11:36,154 --> 02:11:37,917
without giving something back.
2126
02:11:38,523 --> 02:11:40,855
The earth is something you
protect every day of the year.
2127
02:11:40,926 --> 02:11:43,656
A river is something you defend
every inch of its course.
2128
02:11:46,064 --> 02:11:49,465
The man that tried to save that river
are all gone now, and look at it.
2129
02:11:50,435 --> 02:11:52,266
God, it's a public sewer.
2130
02:11:52,704 --> 02:11:54,365
Why? Because men like you and I
2131
02:11:54,439 --> 02:11:56,339
haven't done a damn thing
in the last 20 years
2132
02:11:56,408 --> 02:11:59,605
except sit around getting fatter and
richer, watching land development.
2133
02:11:59,678 --> 02:12:01,976
That's our disgrace, Morgan.
2134
02:12:02,881 --> 02:12:05,111
The Wendells and the Garretts.
2135
02:12:05,751 --> 02:12:07,844
We have to change all that.
2136
02:12:08,487 --> 02:12:11,320
Got to look to the past and
get back to some basics,
2137
02:12:11,390 --> 02:12:14,018
if we're gonna have any
future that's worth having.
2138
02:12:14,092 --> 02:12:15,184
Yeah.
2139
02:12:15,260 --> 02:12:16,989
Strong words from a strong man,
2140
02:12:17,062 --> 02:12:19,462
spoken on a public service
program last week.
2141
02:12:19,531 --> 02:12:22,022
But today is the day that the
strength of each of the candidates
2142
02:12:22,100 --> 02:12:23,226
is being tested.
2143
02:12:23,302 --> 02:12:26,294
Janice Welch now has
some early results. Jan?
2144
02:12:26,438 --> 02:12:29,100
Yes, Paul. I have the early
tally here from the Denver area
2145
02:12:29,174 --> 02:12:32,541
and as you can see, Morgan Wendell
is running ahead of Paul Garrett
2146
02:12:32,611 --> 02:12:34,442
at a little better
than two-to-one.
2147
02:12:35,013 --> 02:12:37,504
The Fort Collins area is
beginning to report too,
2148
02:12:37,582 --> 02:12:40,847
and Wendell is opening with a
strong lead in those precincts.
2149
02:12:40,919 --> 02:12:42,181
It's still far too early for...
2150
02:12:42,254 --> 02:12:46,122
Where's Paul? He
said he'd be here.
2151
02:12:46,892 --> 02:12:50,020
Mr. Wendell's progressive platform
concerning land development.
2152
02:12:52,464 --> 02:12:54,989
Give me another ditch, Randy.
2153
02:12:57,235 --> 02:12:59,294
I think you've had enough, Paul.
2154
02:12:59,371 --> 02:13:01,532
Bar bourbon and Platte water,
2155
02:13:01,606 --> 02:13:03,403
what in the hell can be
wrong with that, huh?
2156
02:13:03,475 --> 02:13:05,875
Come on, give me another one.
Pour it. Come on.
2157
02:13:08,513 --> 02:13:11,812
I've dug a deep enough ditch
for myself, didn't I?
2158
02:13:11,883 --> 02:13:15,080
Deep enough for the
whole damned state.
2159
02:13:16,021 --> 02:13:20,048
Did you know Sam Loper's
kid drowned in a ditch?
2160
02:13:22,361 --> 02:13:24,829
Just a two-foot ditch.
2161
02:13:26,431 --> 02:13:28,865
Walking along, fell
down and drowned.
2162
02:13:29,501 --> 02:13:31,264
This is your last one, okay?
2163
02:13:34,239 --> 02:13:37,072
In a damn two-foot ditch.
2164
02:14:46,144 --> 02:14:47,144
Over there.
2165
02:14:50,682 --> 02:14:53,014
I think that's him.
Yeah, I believe it is.
2166
02:15:13,605 --> 02:15:14,765
Paul?
2167
02:15:15,707 --> 02:15:16,707
Yeah.
2168
02:15:18,310 --> 02:15:19,607
You all right?
2169
02:15:22,214 --> 02:15:23,943
What are you doing?
2170
02:15:25,884 --> 02:15:27,283
Just
2171
02:15:29,221 --> 02:15:31,189
spending some time alone.
2172
02:15:32,691 --> 02:15:36,821
It is the American condition,
haven't you heard?
2173
02:15:37,462 --> 02:15:40,829
Nathan Hale. The Alamo
2174
02:15:40,899 --> 02:15:42,924
and the Pony Express.
2175
02:15:45,036 --> 02:15:47,800
Our heroes. Our symbols.
2176
02:15:49,141 --> 02:15:53,339
Paul... Pasquinel. McKeag.
2177
02:15:56,748 --> 02:16:00,377
Mercy. Zendt.
2178
02:16:00,619 --> 02:16:03,918
Seccombe and Brumbaugh,
2179
02:16:04,122 --> 02:16:06,283
Lloyd and Garrett.
2180
02:16:09,594 --> 02:16:11,494
All loners.
2181
02:16:13,532 --> 02:16:14,897
Calendar!
2182
02:16:16,168 --> 02:16:19,069
What the hell, Cisco, you
know what I'm talking about.
2183
02:16:19,137 --> 02:16:20,502
I hear you.
2184
02:16:21,239 --> 02:16:23,434
And we created
2185
02:16:26,545 --> 02:16:28,570
Morgan Wendell.
2186
02:16:30,348 --> 02:16:33,647
We created all the ambitious
2187
02:16:34,953 --> 02:16:36,750
resolute
2188
02:16:38,657 --> 02:16:40,852
men in this world.
2189
02:16:48,066 --> 02:16:50,000
Listen to that.
2190
02:16:54,339 --> 02:16:57,001
My God, that's lonely.
2191
02:16:59,144 --> 02:17:00,907
That's lonely.
2192
02:17:01,479 --> 02:17:04,778
But that's us. That's America.
2193
02:17:06,818 --> 02:17:09,753
The loneliest people on
the face of the earth.
2194
02:17:13,325 --> 02:17:16,089
Even the Eskimo banded
together, right, Professor?
2195
02:17:16,962 --> 02:17:18,520
But not us!
2196
02:17:19,431 --> 02:17:21,899
We have to have the log cabin
2197
02:17:23,602 --> 02:17:26,435
and sod hut and the line shack.
2198
02:17:30,375 --> 02:17:32,570
And a castle
2199
02:17:35,347 --> 02:17:38,339
in the middle of nowhere.
2200
02:17:38,416 --> 02:17:41,510
Any man or any woman
2201
02:17:41,586 --> 02:17:45,920
who couldn't make it on his own
was a person to be pitied.
2202
02:17:48,293 --> 02:17:51,694
So we had to be ingenious,
2203
02:17:53,965 --> 02:17:55,626
inventive.
2204
02:17:57,736 --> 02:17:59,897
Had to give up
2205
02:18:00,739 --> 02:18:03,173
the old patterns of doing things
2206
02:18:03,241 --> 02:18:06,005
to accept the new way.
2207
02:18:06,544 --> 02:18:09,741
So, I guess it's time
2208
02:18:09,914 --> 02:18:13,315
for the Morgan
Wendells to take over
2209
02:18:13,551 --> 02:18:15,644
finally out here, too.
2210
02:18:19,190 --> 02:18:21,215
But what a painful
2211
02:18:22,761 --> 02:18:25,559
price we had to pay
2212
02:18:25,697 --> 02:18:27,995
to wind up like...
2213
02:18:30,135 --> 02:18:31,625
Like that.
2214
02:18:35,173 --> 02:18:36,663
What a painful
2215
02:18:39,978 --> 02:18:41,536
price
2216
02:18:44,082 --> 02:18:45,515
in loneliness.
2217
02:18:57,362 --> 02:19:00,661
So, it's still Morgan Wendell
running ahead of Paul Garrett
2218
02:19:00,732 --> 02:19:04,099
with about 22% of the vote
tabulated at this point.
2219
02:19:04,669 --> 02:19:08,127
The gap has narrowed considerably.
But Wendell...
2220
02:19:08,206 --> 02:19:09,537
Paul.
2221
02:19:11,810 --> 02:19:14,040
Hot and black, Manolo.
2222
02:19:17,082 --> 02:19:18,640
Cisco,
2223
02:19:19,217 --> 02:19:22,618
I said some sharp things
about your uncle.
2224
02:19:24,155 --> 02:19:27,090
You know that was just
between him and me.
2225
02:19:27,158 --> 02:19:30,321
Well, he's a mean one, I'm sure
whatever you said was true.
2226
02:19:32,430 --> 02:19:35,160
The outlying areas are
beginning to report now.
2227
02:19:35,233 --> 02:19:38,225
But it's too early to call it,
with just 7% of that vote in.
2228
02:19:38,303 --> 02:19:40,897
Hey, I'm gonna turn
that thing off.
2229
02:19:45,210 --> 02:19:47,110
Showtime, ladies and gentlemen.
2230
02:19:54,052 --> 02:19:55,815
We tried, amigos.
2231
02:19:56,054 --> 02:19:58,284
The vote's still
coming in, Paul.
2232
02:19:58,356 --> 02:20:02,122
The vote would be in good shape
if I hadn't opened my big mouth.
2233
02:20:02,193 --> 02:20:04,457
Any time speaking the
truth is out of style,
2234
02:20:04,529 --> 02:20:06,656
we're all in a lot of trouble.
2235
02:20:08,133 --> 02:20:10,397
Hey, why isn't the box on?
2236
02:20:10,468 --> 02:20:12,663
We don't want it on right now.
I do.
2237
02:20:12,737 --> 02:20:16,366
Nate. I came in to
drink with a winner.
2238
02:20:16,474 --> 02:20:19,637
And I gotta know when I can start
buying for everybody in the place.
2239
02:20:21,112 --> 02:20:23,410
We're hearing from
the people, Paul.
2240
02:20:23,481 --> 02:20:25,472
The ones who believe in you.
2241
02:20:25,550 --> 02:20:29,543
The ones who heard you. The
ones who know what we've got.
2242
02:20:29,621 --> 02:20:32,852
And they want you to help save what
we've got before it's too late.
2243
02:20:41,733 --> 02:20:44,201
This was a county Wendell had
counted on carrying, however.
2244
02:20:44,269 --> 02:20:46,863
And, at the moment, it doesn't
look like he's going to.
2245
02:20:46,938 --> 02:20:49,236
Wendell appears to be in
trouble in Dawson County, too.
2246
02:20:49,307 --> 02:20:51,775
Trailing there on a
three-to-one basis.
2247
02:20:51,843 --> 02:20:54,607
Laramie County is voting
on a 50-50 basis so far,
2248
02:20:54,679 --> 02:20:57,147
showing no clear-cut
favorite at all.
2249
02:20:57,215 --> 02:20:59,080
Let's have another
look at the debate.
2250
02:20:59,150 --> 02:21:02,745
It seems to have given Garrett this
unsuspected groundswell of support.
2251
02:21:03,121 --> 02:21:04,884
What about the feedlots, Morgan?
2252
02:21:04,956 --> 02:21:08,221
They depend on the sugar
beet pulp and the molasses.
2253
02:21:08,359 --> 02:21:09,451
You close Central Beet,
2254
02:21:09,527 --> 02:21:12,018
people like Harvey Brumbaugh are
gonna have to go somewhere else
2255
02:21:12,096 --> 02:21:13,757
to afford the cost of shipping.
2256
02:21:13,832 --> 02:21:15,356
That's better than
a whole community
2257
02:21:15,433 --> 02:21:18,766
having to continue absorbing all
that air pollution from the plant.
2258
02:21:18,837 --> 02:21:20,065
How about the cattle industry?
2259
02:21:20,138 --> 02:21:21,571
What happened?
2260
02:21:21,639 --> 02:21:24,164
How can people vote
against progress?
2261
02:21:25,477 --> 02:21:27,536
Don't they understand
that I can make the land
2262
02:21:27,612 --> 02:21:29,204
serve them at a higher capacity
2263
02:21:29,280 --> 02:21:31,077
and a greater profit?
2264
02:21:31,549 --> 02:21:33,244
What's the matter with them?
2265
02:21:37,422 --> 02:21:39,219
I don't understand.
2266
02:21:40,492 --> 02:21:42,983
I do not understand.
2267
02:21:43,061 --> 02:21:45,655
A whole pattern of
life is vanishing.
2268
02:21:49,067 --> 02:21:52,594
Well, there's nothing quite
like a good argument, is there?
2269
02:21:52,670 --> 02:21:55,366
Unless, of course, it has
the answer to peace.
2270
02:21:55,440 --> 02:21:58,034
I don't know how this
is gonna end up,
2271
02:21:58,109 --> 02:22:00,339
but I know how it's been
for some friends of mine
2272
02:22:00,411 --> 02:22:02,140
who had to choose how
they wanted to live
2273
02:22:02,213 --> 02:22:05,341
and wound up making a
choice different from mine.
2274
02:22:06,084 --> 02:22:08,575
However the election turns out,
2275
02:22:09,320 --> 02:22:11,584
I think this song has
a lot to say about
2276
02:22:11,656 --> 02:22:14,181
how more than just
a few of us feel.
2277
02:22:17,595 --> 02:22:20,359
I guess he'd rather
2278
02:22:20,431 --> 02:22:23,798
be in Colorado
2279
02:22:26,804 --> 02:22:31,366
He'd rather spend
his time out where
2280
02:22:31,509 --> 02:22:34,842
The sky looks like a pearl
2281
02:22:34,913 --> 02:22:36,346
After the rain
2282
02:22:36,414 --> 02:22:39,076
Live in sanitized pens
from birth to death.
2283
02:22:39,717 --> 02:22:43,312
We're gonna have cowboys with college
degrees and little white aprons.
2284
02:22:44,422 --> 02:22:47,721
We'll ship the manure out in
little desiccated pellets.
2285
02:22:48,059 --> 02:22:51,051
Well, I know it sounds a
little like Buck Rogers, Paul.
2286
02:22:51,396 --> 02:22:53,193
But I believe the time is coming
2287
02:22:53,264 --> 02:22:56,495
when we won't be able to
afford cows in Colorado.
2288
02:22:56,734 --> 02:23:00,192
Our land is too valuable a
commodity to the people.
2289
02:23:00,638 --> 02:23:02,936
We've got to look elsewhere
for cheaper land.
2290
02:23:03,007 --> 02:23:05,635
For now, Wyoming and Montana.
2291
02:23:05,777 --> 02:23:07,335
It could be a state
like Indiana...
2292
02:23:07,412 --> 02:23:10,904
He'd rather play his banjo
2293
02:23:10,982 --> 02:23:13,212
in the morning
2294
02:23:13,284 --> 02:23:17,414
When the moon is scarcely gone
2295
02:23:20,224 --> 02:23:23,853
In the dawn, the subway's coming
2296
02:23:24,362 --> 02:23:26,330
I sure as hell don't
wanna see it happen.
2297
02:23:26,397 --> 02:23:28,592
I'm gonna fight to see
that it doesn't happen.
2298
02:23:28,666 --> 02:23:30,133
You can't win, Paul.
2299
02:23:30,201 --> 02:23:33,227
No, you can't win, Morgan.
We can't let you win.
2300
02:23:33,304 --> 02:23:36,398
Boulder Canyon
2301
02:23:38,409 --> 02:23:41,674
I guess he'd rather be
2302
02:23:41,746 --> 02:23:43,714
In Colorado
2303
02:25:07,165 --> 02:25:10,498
I guess he'd rather be
2304
02:25:10,568 --> 02:25:13,833
in Colorado
2305
02:25:16,107 --> 02:25:19,304
I guess he'd rather work
2306
02:25:19,377 --> 02:25:23,905
out where the only
thing you earn
2307
02:25:24,282 --> 02:25:26,716
Is what you spend
2308
02:25:29,087 --> 02:25:33,717
In the end, up in his office
2309
02:25:34,025 --> 02:25:37,426
In the end, a quiet cough
2310
02:25:37,662 --> 02:25:41,223
Is all he has to show
2311
02:25:41,299 --> 02:25:47,397
He lives in New York City
2312
02:25:52,210 --> 02:25:54,178
The earth isn't
something you take from
2313
02:25:54,245 --> 02:25:56,543
without ever thinking
about giving back.
2314
02:25:56,748 --> 02:25:59,615
The earth is something you
protect every day of the year.
2315
02:25:59,684 --> 02:26:03,120
A river is something you defend
every inch of its course.
2316
02:26:04,489 --> 02:26:06,582
We have to look to the past
2317
02:26:06,657 --> 02:26:09,319
and get back to some
basic principles
2318
02:26:09,393 --> 02:26:11,691
if there's gonna be any
future worth having.
