Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,281 --> 00:00:19,445
Your license shows no specifications
for street shows, Mr. Mortensen.
2
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:21,714
Well, don't tell me our
esteemed city attorney...
3
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:24,518
has dug up an ordinance
against a little free entertainment?
4
00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:27,992
Well, Fats, you haven't given away
anything for nothing in your entire career.
5
00:00:28,061 --> 00:00:31,360
Mr. Archer, why, here's two tickets
for tonight's performance.
6
00:00:31,431 --> 00:00:33,365
Down front,
on the aisle.
7
00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:36,834
First thing a man in public office learns
is take a present, owe a favor.
8
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:39,895
Now, Fats, just keep
the noise down, huh?
9
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:12,066
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.
10
00:01:12,138 --> 00:01:14,106
And now for
the pi�ce de r�sistance.
11
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:17,905
The most exciting act that's ever appeared
in our fair city of Stockton.
12
00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:22,073
The lovely lady with the face of an angel
and the voice of a nightingale...
13
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:25,982
the Sweetheart of the Sierras,
Miss Liberty Keane, ladies and gentlemen.
14
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:30,852
She's been called
the Songbird of Sacramento...
15
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:33,017
the Golden Voice
of the Golden State.
16
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:36,187
And you will hear that lovely voice
on our stage here this evening.
17
00:01:36,262 --> 00:01:38,389
Let's hear somethin' now.
18
00:01:38,465 --> 00:01:40,524
Friend, we can't do a whole show
here on the street.
19
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,967
- But if you'll be in our theater tonight-
- Let's hear what she can do.
20
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:47,268
Come on. Come on, girlie.
Give us a sample.
21
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:51,276
Well, now, look, friend, I just got
through telling you that we can't-
22
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,142
You gonna start singin' a song,
or do I start shootin'?
23
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:03,017
Heath!
24
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:08,288
Hold on, Heath! Doggone it, Heath!
Now, cut that out!
25
00:02:08,361 --> 00:02:11,194
Heath, stop that.!
Now, hold on.! Heath.!
26
00:02:11,264 --> 00:02:13,892
Doggone it! Hold on!
Get off of him!
27
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:17,494
Heaven preserve us
from impetuous young fools!
28
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:20,164
It's all right, folks. It's all right.
It's all part of the act.
29
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,936
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Great Ambrose...
30
00:02:23,009 --> 00:02:25,500
the man whose keen eye
and steady hand...
31
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:28,308
has won him 53 medals from
the crowned heads of Europe.
32
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:30,679
And if you think
that was sharpshooting...
33
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:32,911
just wait till you see his performance
on our stage tonight.
34
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:36,251
- Take them in, Deputy.
- There was no real harm done, Mr. Archer.
35
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:38,256
Fats here was just drumming up
business for his new show.
36
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:41,259
I know what he was doing.
And you heard what I said.
37
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:45,865
I'm, uh, gonna have to
run you in for this, Fats.
38
00:02:45,932 --> 00:02:48,025
Justice will triumph,
ladies and gentlemen.
39
00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:50,467
Never fear. The curtain
at Mortensen's Theater...
40
00:02:50,537 --> 00:02:52,630
will go up
at 8:00 sharp tonight.
41
00:02:52,705 --> 00:02:55,299
Round up your songbird,
and let's go.
42
00:03:00,046 --> 00:03:03,209
Well, if you'd waited, I could have
told you it was part of the act.
43
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:06,750
They'll need a lawyer.
Will you help 'em out?
44
00:03:06,819 --> 00:03:09,151
Well, Heath, I can't do that
unless they ask me.
45
00:03:10,356 --> 00:03:12,347
Well, I'm asking you.
46
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:20,388
Now, Mr. Mortensen
may call it entertainment...
47
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:22,894
but the fact is,
discharging firearms on a city street...
48
00:04:22,962 --> 00:04:27,956
is in violation of Ordinance 116
and punishable by a fine of $300.
49
00:04:28,034 --> 00:04:31,697
$300! Archer, you know
I can't spare that kind of money!
50
00:04:31,771 --> 00:04:35,298
Seems to me you have enough money
to hire a very expensive legal counsel.
51
00:04:35,375 --> 00:04:38,105
Oh, well, uh, Mr. Mortensen
and I have a little agreement-
52
00:04:38,177 --> 00:04:40,475
best seats in the house
for opening night, right?
53
00:04:41,781 --> 00:04:44,375
Fred, it seems to me
that under the circumstances...
54
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:46,418
$300 is a bit excessive.
55
00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:49,546
If your client prefers, perhaps he'd take
the jail sentence of 30 days.
56
00:04:49,622 --> 00:04:51,817
Come on now, Phil.
We're only dealing with...
57
00:04:51,891 --> 00:04:54,724
the Fats Mortensen gang,
not Quantrill's Raiders.
58
00:04:58,231 --> 00:05:01,689
Is that the latest
in San Francisco sophistication?
59
00:05:01,768 --> 00:05:03,998
I mean, this is a little
out of your current bailiwick.
60
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:06,004
What is your interest here,
Jarrod?
61
00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:08,006
Well, like any other citizen
of Stockton...
62
00:05:08,074 --> 00:05:10,269
I think I'd be disappointed
if the show didn't go on.
63
00:05:10,343 --> 00:05:12,641
- So would I.
- What happened out there today...
64
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:15,146
could have caused
serious trouble.
65
00:05:15,214 --> 00:05:18,809
- Settle down. Anybody hurt? Any damage done?
- That's besides the point.
66
00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:21,479
- It wasn't anything to boil over about.
- What do you want me to do?
67
00:05:21,554 --> 00:05:25,490
Ignore the entire incident
becauseJarrod Barkley is involved?
68
00:05:25,558 --> 00:05:29,016
Well, now, it seems to me that
the punishment ought to fit the crime.
69
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:31,461
Fred, why don't we have
Mr. Mortensen do a show...
70
00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:33,795
at the orphanage
as a condition of his release?
71
00:05:33,866 --> 00:05:37,529
- Agreed, Fats?
- Oh, fine. Fine.
72
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:40,003
All right. It's settled then.
Now, clear 'em out of here.
73
00:05:40,073 --> 00:05:43,668
Mr. Barkley, thank you very much.
The tickets will be at the box office.
74
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:46,769
Liberty, my dear.
75
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:48,780
It's apparent to me, Sheriff,
that you and I have to reach...
76
00:05:48,848 --> 00:05:51,339
some kind of understanding
about our respective duties.
77
00:05:51,417 --> 00:05:53,681
Don't go puffin' up
like a turkey gobbler, Phil.
78
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:56,950
You're fresh in yourjob,
and I've had mine for 10 years.
79
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:59,048
I can see I'm gonna
have to cure your buck fever...
80
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:02,060
just like I did Jarrod's when he
first took over your job.
81
00:06:02,128 --> 00:06:05,825
How well I remember. If you'd like to
hear the sad story, I'll buy you a drink.
82
00:06:05,898 --> 00:06:09,595
To celebrate what? How the big-time
San Francisco attorney...
83
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:12,502
got the best
of a small-town lawyer?
84
00:06:12,572 --> 00:06:14,563
No, thank you.
85
00:06:18,644 --> 00:06:20,635
See you later, Fred.
86
00:06:55,181 --> 00:06:57,979
- Liberty?
- Yes?
87
00:06:58,050 --> 00:07:01,611
- A message for you at the stage door.
- Thank you, Mr. Mortensen.
88
00:07:01,687 --> 00:07:04,850
Oh, uh, you better get
some food into him.
89
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:07,949
All right.
90
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:36,312
To Heath Barkley...
91
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:39,256
who has health, wealth...
92
00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:41,816
and, I hope, happiness.
93
00:07:41,894 --> 00:07:46,126
And to Liberty Keane, the Sweetheart
of Strawberry, and now of Stockton.
94
00:07:49,535 --> 00:07:51,969
You know, Heath,
when I was a very little girl...
95
00:07:52,038 --> 00:07:54,199
Papa used to read me stories
at night.
96
00:07:54,273 --> 00:07:57,037
There was a book
we both loved.
97
00:07:57,109 --> 00:07:59,771
It was about a-
a poor ragamuffin boy...
98
00:07:59,846 --> 00:08:02,906
who grew up to learn
that he had great expectations.
99
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:06,408
I'm very happy for you,
Heath.
100
00:08:08,621 --> 00:08:10,589
I've often wondered how
you've been makin' out, Libby.
101
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:12,954
Well, now you know.
102
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:16,594
I'm sorry you never made it
to New York, Libby.
103
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,434
- What's funny?
- Oh, life.
104
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:26,802
When you were 16 years old,
you begged me to run away and marry you.
105
00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:28,966
Remember?
And Papa ran you off?
106
00:08:29,041 --> 00:08:31,805
Well, that wasn't funny, not to me.
107
00:08:31,878 --> 00:08:36,338
Nor to me.
But Papa kept saying...
108
00:08:36,415 --> 00:08:39,509
"We're just that far
away, Libby.
109
00:08:39,585 --> 00:08:42,349
Just that far away
from success. "
110
00:08:46,659 --> 00:08:50,789
After Papa died, I went back
to Strawberry to look for you.
111
00:08:51,998 --> 00:08:55,991
But it, um, was too late.
You'd already gone.
112
00:09:00,072 --> 00:09:02,734
I- I guess everything
turns out for the best.
113
00:09:02,808 --> 00:09:06,039
- Did it, Libby?
- Just think.
114
00:09:06,112 --> 00:09:08,376
If I had run off
with you that summer...
115
00:09:08,447 --> 00:09:13,680
right- right now you wouldn't be
a dashing, eligible bachelor...
116
00:09:13,753 --> 00:09:16,984
entertaining actresses
with, uh, champagne suppers.
117
00:09:18,424 --> 00:09:20,358
Well, I don't make
a habit of it-
118
00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:22,792
the suppers
or the proposals.
119
00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:26,855
I know that. Any other man
would have arranged this whole supper...
120
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:30,494
just to show a girl
what she-what she missed.
121
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:33,437
But not you.
122
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:35,940
You're kind and concerned.
123
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:40,404
It's almost as if you
still cared a little.
124
00:09:40,479 --> 00:09:44,279
You don't stop caring about people
just because you're separated.
125
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:47,319
Heath, if only we could...
126
00:09:47,386 --> 00:09:50,082
turn time back.
127
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:53,557
If we could just be the way
we used to be.
128
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:58,021
But I- I guess
that isn't possible.
129
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:03,429
But I- I had tonight,
and I'll always be grateful for that.
130
00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:06,232
That sounds like
you're saying good-bye.
131
00:10:08,174 --> 00:10:10,699
- That's right.
- But why?
132
00:10:10,776 --> 00:10:14,837
Well, I'm not sure what time the saloons
close here in Stockton.
133
00:10:14,914 --> 00:10:18,850
But when they do,
the Great Ambrose...
134
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:22,445
will come weaving his way
back to the theater.
135
00:10:23,889 --> 00:10:28,485
- And if I'm not there-
- And if you're not there, what?
136
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:31,359
He'll either fall asleep
in a drunken stupor...
137
00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:35,594
or be waiting up for me
in a wild, jealous rage.
138
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:38,000
Well, does he have a right
to be jealous?
139
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:41,730
He's my husband.
140
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:52,944
I needed somebody
to- to look after me.
141
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:57,683
Don't you see?
Like- Like Papa used to do.
142
00:10:57,757 --> 00:11:02,285
So I- I settled for Ambrose.
143
00:11:03,596 --> 00:11:06,690
Just like everything else
in my life, it went wrong.
144
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:10,791
I ended up taking care of him.
145
00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:16,107
I'll take you back now, Libby.
146
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:26,949
You're, uh, angry with me,
aren't you?
147
00:11:28,621 --> 00:11:31,681
Well, I guess you have
every right to be.
148
00:11:32,925 --> 00:11:37,589
Heath, if what I did
tonight seems...
149
00:11:37,663 --> 00:11:42,623
well, shameless to you,
I'm sorry.
150
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:46,502
It- It's just
that living the way I do...
151
00:11:46,572 --> 00:11:50,906
you-you learn to snatch
at a moment of happiness.
152
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:56,740
I thought I could
stop loving you, Heath...
153
00:11:58,150 --> 00:12:00,084
but I guess
I never will.
154
00:12:05,024 --> 00:12:06,992
A touching reading, my dear.
155
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:11,223
But then, you've made a specialty
of these scenes, haven't you?
156
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:15,825
- No, he's drunk.
- Not that drunk, my dear.
157
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:19,029
Just remember what I told you.
I never kill.
158
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:22,541
I never have to. I can place the bullet
so that life isn't worth living.
159
00:12:25,010 --> 00:12:27,001
Good-bye, Heath.
160
00:12:28,848 --> 00:12:31,282
Libby, I can't let you-
161
00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:33,978
Oh, I'll be all right.
162
00:12:34,053 --> 00:12:39,184
After all, where else could he find
such a willing target?
163
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:52,631
My wife has a penchant for rich,
young admirers.
164
00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:57,608
But strangely enough,
she always comes back to me.
165
00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:19,022
No.!
166
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,837
Libby, are you all right?
167
00:13:29,909 --> 00:13:33,743
Look out, Heath.!
168
00:13:40,853 --> 00:13:43,913
Hurry! Hurry!
169
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:56,962
- I killed him.
- You had no choice.
170
00:13:58,070 --> 00:14:01,301
Don't look like that,
darling.
171
00:14:01,373 --> 00:14:03,773
It was the only thing
you could do.
172
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:13,184
In here.
173
00:14:15,087 --> 00:14:18,284
Well, well!
Heath Barkley.
174
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:22,020
- What'd he do? Rob the 'Frisco mint?
- Shut up, Tedrow.
175
00:14:22,094 --> 00:14:25,530
Sheriff, now that this here's
such a high-class jail...
176
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:28,294
I'll be expectin' a doily
on my breakfast tray.
177
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:31,803
I can't help this, Heath.
Rules.
178
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:35,363
When Jarrod gets here,
ask him if he knows a smart lawyer.
179
00:14:35,441 --> 00:14:37,841
You won't be needin'
a smart lawyer.
180
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:41,641
You can get away with murder,
just so long as your name's Barkley.
181
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:46,540
You said you knew Heath Barkley
in the mining camps.
182
00:14:47,653 --> 00:14:50,315
- That's right.
- How well did you know him?
183
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:54,917
I told you.
We grew up together.
184
00:14:55,928 --> 00:14:58,988
We were... friends.
185
00:14:59,999 --> 00:15:01,990
Just friends?
186
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:09,664
What's going on here?
Where's Heath?
187
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:13,735
He's in a cell, Jarrod. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I had to lock him up.
188
00:15:13,812 --> 00:15:17,908
Why apologize for treating him
just like any other murder suspect?
189
00:15:17,983 --> 00:15:22,147
How many times do I have to tell you?
It was self-defense.!
190
00:15:22,221 --> 00:15:27,352
- Why won't he listen to me?
- You remember Miss Keane by her stage name.
191
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:30,259
She's the victim's wife.
Heath shot her husband tonight.
192
00:15:30,329 --> 00:15:32,923
What makes you use
the word "murder"?
193
00:15:32,998 --> 00:15:36,365
I believe I said,
"murder suspect. "
194
00:15:36,435 --> 00:15:39,131
At the moment, it's just a death
under mysterious circumstances...
195
00:15:39,204 --> 00:15:41,434
until the coroner's jury
says otherwise.
196
00:15:41,507 --> 00:15:45,375
- You're scheduling an inquest?
- 3:00 tomorrow afternoon...
197
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:47,844
at the theater,
where the shooting took place.
198
00:15:50,115 --> 00:15:52,845
Tell me something, Archer.
199
00:15:52,918 --> 00:15:57,912
Have you really got a case, or is this
just a chance to make the Barkleys sweat?
200
00:15:59,692 --> 00:16:03,890
I'm not a fool, Jarrod.
I have a case. A good one.
201
00:16:15,574 --> 00:16:18,168
Just because you bail me out of jail,
you don't have to follow me around.
202
00:16:18,243 --> 00:16:20,177
What's the matter?
You object to my company?
203
00:16:20,245 --> 00:16:22,645
- I just want to see Liberty alone.
- For appearances' sake...
204
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:26,446
it would be a lot wiser for you to avoid
any personal contact until after the inquest.
205
00:16:26,518 --> 00:16:30,249
Appearances be hanged!
I'm not letting Liberty face this alone.
206
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:48,370
- Heath. Oh, Heath, I was so worried about you.
- I got here as soon as I could.
207
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,170
Whatever arrangements she's made,
I'll take care of everything.
208
00:16:51,243 --> 00:16:53,768
- I don't want you to think-
- Now, it's all settled.
209
00:16:53,846 --> 00:16:56,474
You're coming back to the house
and stay with us until this is all over.
210
00:16:56,548 --> 00:17:00,314
Well, thank you.
211
00:17:00,386 --> 00:17:04,152
I don't think I could face going back
to that theater alone right now.
212
00:17:05,657 --> 00:17:09,149
Heath, the inquest is at 3:00.
213
00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:12,061
I think it would be better
if you stayed in town.
214
00:17:12,131 --> 00:17:15,965
We can come back. We both have to
clean up and change clothes.
215
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:19,232
This is hardly an appropriate
costume for an inquest.
216
00:17:19,304 --> 00:17:22,398
I'm sure Audra can find you something.
Let's go home.
217
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:47,297
- Heath, how are you?
- I'm fine, Mother.
218
00:17:47,366 --> 00:17:49,300
- Is it all straightened out?
- I'll explain later.
219
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:52,098
- Mother, Audra, this is Liberty Keane.
- I'm very glad to know you.
220
00:17:52,171 --> 00:17:54,469
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
221
00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:57,236
I wish we were meeting
under happier circumstances.
222
00:17:57,309 --> 00:17:59,436
- I do too.
- I've invited Libby to stay a few days.
223
00:17:59,511 --> 00:18:01,445
- Good.
- I- I hope I'm not imposing.
224
00:18:01,513 --> 00:18:05,950
- Not at all.
- Oh.
225
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:08,282
What a lovely chandelier.
226
00:18:08,353 --> 00:18:11,550
Heath, do you remember
the one back in Strawberry?
227
00:18:11,623 --> 00:18:16,026
The one in the hotel?
You remember the bet I won for Papa?
228
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:19,724
Her father made a bet that Libby could
rattle the crystals with her singing.
229
00:18:19,798 --> 00:18:21,732
I broke some of them.
230
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,667
The money Papa won
helped pay for the repairs.
231
00:18:24,736 --> 00:18:27,102
Why don't you try
and get some rest?
232
00:18:27,172 --> 00:18:29,163
Audra, would you show
our guest to her room?
233
00:18:36,882 --> 00:18:39,316
Come on, Heath.
We got some talking to do.
234
00:18:49,661 --> 00:18:52,789
Never get arrested for murder
in a pair of tight boots.
235
00:18:59,404 --> 00:19:02,430
- Well, Heath?
- Now, don't get that look.
236
00:19:02,508 --> 00:19:05,636
- There's nothing to worry about.
- There's plenty to worry about.
237
00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:08,145
And the sooner you get that through
your head, the better off you'll be.
238
00:19:08,213 --> 00:19:10,909
The Great Ambrose tried to kill me.
I shot him in self-defense.
239
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,781
- How many ways can I say it?
- Then why does Phil Archer call it murder?
240
00:19:13,852 --> 00:19:15,979
- How should I know?
- He's much too smart...
241
00:19:16,054 --> 00:19:19,148
to try for an indictment
without some pretty good evidence.
242
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,784
Happened just like
I told you.
243
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:24,624
Now, let me see if
I've got this straight.
244
00:19:24,696 --> 00:19:28,132
You and the victim's wife
renewed an old love affair...
245
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,464
over a midnight supper
at the Alhambra Club.
246
00:19:30,536 --> 00:19:33,096
- It was never an affair.
- Then you returned her to the theater...
247
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:36,767
at a rather late hour and were confronted
by her understandably angry husband.
248
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:40,334
He was drunk, crazy jealous.
Life with him must have been hell for her.
249
00:19:40,412 --> 00:19:43,142
A relationship, none-the-less,
sanctified by marriage vows.
250
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:47,743
- Jarrod, is this necessary?
- I'm afraid it is.
251
00:19:47,819 --> 00:19:49,912
Now, tell me again what happened
in that alley.
252
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:52,857
He made threats.
She went inside.
253
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,586
- Threats against whom?
- Me.
254
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:58,892
And in spite of those threats,
you entered a dark theater and killed him.
255
00:19:58,964 --> 00:20:01,330
A professional marksman
in a fair fight.
256
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,994
- Do you expect a jury to believe that?
- You've got it all wrong.
257
00:20:04,069 --> 00:20:06,060
- Haven't I told the truth?
- It's the words you use.
258
00:20:06,138 --> 00:20:08,572
You expect the prosecutor
to use nicer words?
259
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,165
All right, Jarrod. Now, you've acted out
the devil's advocate.
260
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:13,768
Why? Surely you don't think
Heath is guilty?
261
00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:18,081
Of course I don't think
he's guilty.
262
00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:20,209
The trouble is,
how are we going to prove it?
263
00:20:20,285 --> 00:20:23,618
I'll match Jarrod against that
smug jaybird Archer any day.
264
00:20:25,591 --> 00:20:27,616
Oh, wake me
in an hour, huh?
265
00:20:47,145 --> 00:20:50,308
Heath.
266
00:20:50,382 --> 00:20:52,612
It's going to be all right,
isn't it?
267
00:20:52,684 --> 00:20:55,175
Sure it is.
There's nothing to worry about.
268
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:57,950
We'll tell it just like it happened,
and that'll be the end of it.
269
00:20:59,992 --> 00:21:02,153
Libby, I was raised
on trouble.
270
00:21:04,396 --> 00:21:06,626
It'll be all right.
Trust me?
271
00:21:14,006 --> 00:21:17,066
Read all about the murder!
Read all about the murder in the theater!
272
00:21:17,142 --> 00:21:19,076
- Come and get your paper right now!
- Willie!
273
00:21:19,144 --> 00:21:21,078
You can't go on
shouting about a murder.
274
00:21:21,146 --> 00:21:23,080
This can't rightfully
be called a murder...
275
00:21:23,148 --> 00:21:25,139
until the coroner's jury
says a crime has been committed.
276
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:28,482
But when they do that,
then we can legally accuse the suspect.
277
00:21:28,553 --> 00:21:32,751
The day this town accuses a Barkley
is the day the horn will sound judgment.
278
00:21:32,824 --> 00:21:35,452
Well, now, don't sell
your fellow citizens short.
279
00:21:35,527 --> 00:21:38,189
They're honest men,
and they'll hand down an honest verdict...
280
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:40,527
without fear or favor.
281
00:21:46,905 --> 00:21:48,896
Whoa!
282
00:21:56,581 --> 00:21:59,175
I wonder how much it'll cost 'em
to get out of this?
283
00:22:03,188 --> 00:22:06,624
Heath was standing right there-
right where you are-
284
00:22:06,692 --> 00:22:08,751
with a gun in his hand.
285
00:22:08,827 --> 00:22:11,159
Did he say anything?
286
00:22:11,229 --> 00:22:15,290
He said, "I killed him. "
287
00:22:16,401 --> 00:22:20,462
"I killed him. "
That'll be all, Sheriff.
288
00:22:20,539 --> 00:22:22,473
Thank you. Unless you wish
to bring forward...
289
00:22:22,541 --> 00:22:24,634
any other facts
pertinent to this murder.
290
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:28,202
The word "murder," Mr. Archer,
is completely out of order here.
291
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,339
I stand corrected.
292
00:22:30,415 --> 00:22:32,975
And to remind you that any
defense of your brother at this time...
293
00:22:33,051 --> 00:22:35,713
is equally out of order.
294
00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:38,483
And I'll remind you both
that this is an inquest, not a trial.
295
00:22:38,557 --> 00:22:42,049
And I'm in charge.
You're dismissed, Sheriff.
296
00:22:42,127 --> 00:22:44,493
Do you have any further
witnesses, Mr. Archer?
297
00:22:44,563 --> 00:22:47,259
Yes. I call Mrs. Liberty
Keane Carson, please.
298
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:50,028
Mrs. Carson?
299
00:22:58,643 --> 00:23:01,874
Place your hand on the book. Swear to tell
the truth as you see it, so help you?
300
00:23:01,947 --> 00:23:04,040
I do.
301
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:09,487
Now, you are Liberty Keane,
the widow of Ambrose Carson?
302
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:11,715
- Yes, sir.
- Mm-hmm.
303
00:23:11,790 --> 00:23:15,317
And the Great Ambrose was billed
as the "world's finest pistol shot. "
304
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:18,090
- Is that correct?
- That's right.
305
00:23:18,163 --> 00:23:23,260
Well, isn't it ironic that he
should be shot dead in a fair fight?
306
00:23:23,335 --> 00:23:27,271
But it was a fair fight!
307
00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:30,467
Ambrose had a gun in his hand
and was stalking Heath when-
308
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:32,476
when I called out
to warn him.
309
00:23:32,544 --> 00:23:36,139
Madam, I find it very peculiar
that you should show greater loyalty...
310
00:23:36,214 --> 00:23:38,409
to a stranger than you did
to your own husband.
311
00:23:38,483 --> 00:23:42,977
I told you before.
Heath Barkley and I are old friends.
312
00:23:43,054 --> 00:23:45,614
We grew up together
in the mining camps.
313
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:48,250
An old friend who saw
nothing reprehensible...
314
00:23:48,326 --> 00:23:50,886
about a clandestine supper
with a married woman?
315
00:23:50,962 --> 00:23:52,896
Heath knew nothing
of my marriage.
316
00:23:52,964 --> 00:23:55,091
I trust the prosecutor will
introduce into evidence...
317
00:23:55,167 --> 00:23:58,034
the fact that the young lady
and my brother met just yesterday...
318
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:00,264
for the first time
in seven years!
319
00:24:01,706 --> 00:24:04,504
Hardly enough time
to hatch a conspiracy, gentlemen.
320
00:24:04,576 --> 00:24:07,443
Sir, I have no evidence
of conspiracy...
321
00:24:07,512 --> 00:24:10,140
only evidence of
a cold-blooded murder!
322
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:12,581
Gentlemen of the jury, I'd like
you to recall the coroner's report...
323
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:14,642
that was read to you earlier.
324
00:24:14,719 --> 00:24:18,519
It stated that the witness's husband
was the victim of two bullet wounds-
325
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:23,755
one in the right arm, and the second
fatal one in the right temple.
326
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:27,060
Now, the deed isn't very hard
to reconstruct, is it?
327
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:30,101
The first shot hit him in
his right arm- his gun arm-
328
00:24:30,168 --> 00:24:33,137
preventing him from returning any fire
with any degree of accuracy.
329
00:24:34,539 --> 00:24:38,942
Then the killer came forward,
and taking careful aim...
330
00:24:40,178 --> 00:24:43,113
shot out his victim's life.
331
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:46,540
- That's the way it happened, isn't it?
- No!
332
00:24:46,618 --> 00:24:50,213
No? No, it happened
some other way?
333
00:24:50,288 --> 00:24:53,121
Or no, you didn't see him
shoot your husband...
334
00:24:53,191 --> 00:24:56,922
because you ran outside
when the guns started going off?
335
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:59,054
That's it, isn't it?
That's it.
336
00:24:59,130 --> 00:25:02,395
You were lying when you said you
saw a shooting in self-defense.
337
00:25:02,467 --> 00:25:05,527
You didn't see anything.
You didn't see anything!
338
00:25:05,604 --> 00:25:08,129
I told the truth!
It was the truth!
339
00:25:08,206 --> 00:25:12,836
You told a lie.!
You told a lie in order to save a man...
340
00:25:12,911 --> 00:25:16,403
about whom you were so concerned
after the shooting!
341
00:25:16,481 --> 00:25:20,747
A man you called "darling" standing over
the dead body of your husband!
342
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:22,844
Motive for murder,
gentlemen-
343
00:25:22,921 --> 00:25:25,515
lust for a beautiful woman.
344
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:28,890
A motive as old
as original sin.
345
00:25:57,856 --> 00:26:00,654
Makes sordid reading,
doesn't it?
346
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:03,319
I heard the porter
call you Mr. Barkley.
347
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:07,297
- Are you one of them?
- What's it to you?
348
00:26:07,365 --> 00:26:09,959
Don't get huffy. I'm Fletcher
of the Oakland Bulletin.
349
00:26:10,035 --> 00:26:13,493
If there's another side to that story,
I'm the man to see it gets into print.
350
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:15,631
Got anything to say?
351
00:26:15,707 --> 00:26:19,165
Nothin'. Been to Salinas.
Horse auction.
352
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:21,212
Kind of a shock, huh?
353
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:23,543
- You might say that, yes.
- I guess right now you're wishing...
354
00:26:23,615 --> 00:26:26,243
the old man's colt had never
come out of the woods.
355
00:26:28,687 --> 00:26:31,850
Nobody says that
about him to me.
356
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:33,982
You better get used to it.
357
00:26:34,059 --> 00:26:37,153
You're gonna find people like
a good scandal, Barkley.
358
00:26:37,228 --> 00:26:40,686
And when the mud's on you
rich ones, they like it twice as much.
359
00:26:59,384 --> 00:27:02,717
- How's Libby? Is she all right?
- She's fine.
360
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:04,721
You know, I'm glad she's
got you to look after her.
361
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:07,724
Libby's had a hard time
all her life.
362
00:27:09,394 --> 00:27:13,592
Right now there's something
hurt and helpless about her.
363
00:27:13,665 --> 00:27:16,463
She needs somebody
to take care ofher.
364
00:27:16,534 --> 00:27:19,970
It's you we're concerned about.
365
00:27:20,038 --> 00:27:22,063
I left strict orders he was
to have no visitors.
366
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:24,472
Sheriff gave Mrs. Barkley
special permission...
367
00:27:24,542 --> 00:27:27,170
them bein' such
important people and all.
368
00:27:27,245 --> 00:27:29,543
- Shut up, Tedrow.
- This way, please, Mrs. Barkley.
369
00:27:29,614 --> 00:27:31,605
I'm sorry, Fred.
370
00:27:34,252 --> 00:27:37,915
I really can't understand
your objections to my seeing my son.
371
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:39,923
Your son is about to be
tried for murder.
372
00:27:39,991 --> 00:27:42,892
Just because his name is Barkley doesn't
give him any special considerations.
373
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:44,929
Nor should it prejudice
people against him.
374
00:27:44,996 --> 00:27:50,161
Oh? Well, are you accusing me
of prejudicial behavior, Mrs. Barkley?
375
00:27:50,235 --> 00:27:52,703
Have you been reading
the papers, Mr. Archer?
376
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:55,103
Neither of us can control
the free press.
377
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:58,142
Not even to make it clear that
half-truths have been twisted?
378
00:27:58,209 --> 00:28:01,042
You have one opinion,
the coroner's jury had another.
379
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:03,342
The newspapers are entitled
to theirs.
380
00:28:03,415 --> 00:28:05,349
Not when they try to
blame Heath for something...
381
00:28:05,417 --> 00:28:08,011
beyond his control-
the name he bears.
382
00:28:08,086 --> 00:28:10,850
It seems to me you're unduly
sensitive on that point.
383
00:28:10,922 --> 00:28:14,983
It's my name, and I'm proud of it.
I don't like seeing it smeared.
384
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:17,893
Do you really believe there would be
all this newspaper notoriety...
385
00:28:17,962 --> 00:28:19,896
if a Barkley
weren't involved?
386
00:28:19,964 --> 00:28:23,832
Would it cause statewide interest
if-if that man Tedrow were on trial?
387
00:28:23,902 --> 00:28:27,998
Now, I'll overlook your doubts
about my integrity, Mrs. Barkley.
388
00:28:28,073 --> 00:28:30,041
But let me tell you this.
389
00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:32,235
Your coming here didn't help
his case at all.
390
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:36,178
I intend to examine every word of the
testimony of the widow and the defendant...
391
00:28:36,247 --> 00:28:38,477
and if there's any change...
392
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:42,816
well, there could be an accusation
of conspiracy-with you as intermediary.
393
00:28:42,887 --> 00:28:46,482
That was not the purpose of my visit.
You have my word for that.
394
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,685
And the word of a Barkley
is sacrosanct?
395
00:28:54,899 --> 00:29:00,098
There's only one step from envy
to hate, Mr. Archer...
396
00:29:01,606 --> 00:29:03,836
and I think you've
already taken it.
397
00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:17,387
Nick! Jarrod!
398
00:29:17,455 --> 00:29:19,389
- Hello, Mother.
- Hi.
399
00:29:19,457 --> 00:29:22,426
- How is he?
- Oh, very calm for my benefit.
400
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:24,689
I'm afraid you can't see him.
Phil Archer says no one...
401
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:26,697
butJarrod can see him
until the trial.
402
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:29,791
I just want to tell him I'm back,
and he has nothin' to worry about is all.
403
00:29:29,868 --> 00:29:31,802
- I'll tell him, Nick.
- Oh.
404
00:29:31,870 --> 00:29:33,963
- See you both at the house.
- The rig is over here, Nick.
405
00:29:34,038 --> 00:29:36,598
Does that mean you're sure
he's going to be acquitted?
406
00:29:36,674 --> 00:29:39,199
It means he'd no more commit
murder than herd sheep.
407
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:41,211
Then you Barkleys intend to
stand behind him all the way?
408
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:44,476
- With everything we've got.
- You ought to be more careful with words.
409
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:47,643
That could be construed
as a threat to use the Barkley money...
410
00:29:47,719 --> 00:29:50,415
prestige and influence to make sure
your brother gets off.
411
00:29:50,488 --> 00:29:52,615
Well, now, I wouldn't say it
quite that way if I were you.
412
00:29:52,690 --> 00:29:54,590
You trying to tell me
what I can write?
413
00:29:54,659 --> 00:29:57,093
You misquote me, and you're gonna get
yourself in an awful lot of trouble.
414
00:29:57,162 --> 00:29:58,629
- Is that a threat?
- That's a promise.!
415
00:29:58,696 --> 00:30:02,291
Thank you for a very good quote,
Mr. Barkley.
416
00:30:02,367 --> 00:30:04,961
I think you're going to find out
you aren't so high and mighty.
417
00:30:05,036 --> 00:30:06,731
Nick!
418
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:12,035
Nick!
419
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:17,137
Nick, come on.
420
00:30:28,026 --> 00:30:30,017
Thank you.
421
00:30:34,632 --> 00:30:36,566
I suggest you pour yourself
a drink, Nick.
422
00:30:36,634 --> 00:30:38,659
- I guarantee you you're going to need it.
- Oh?
423
00:30:38,736 --> 00:30:41,068
- Why?
- We have our name in the paper.
424
00:30:44,342 --> 00:30:47,937
"Ranching heir Nick Barkley
today threatened"-
425
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:49,946
A lot of filthy, rotten lies!
426
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:54,007
How- How can they print lies like that
about important people?
427
00:30:54,085 --> 00:30:56,485
Well, it's a rather involved
question of semantics.
428
00:30:56,554 --> 00:30:59,079
Now, Nick may have only said
"promise" to that newspaper man...
429
00:30:59,157 --> 00:31:01,387
but I understand he said it
rather forcefully.
430
00:31:01,459 --> 00:31:03,791
What was I supposed to do?
Just let him get away with it?
431
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:06,524
You know, your father used to say,
"When you wear a silk hat...
432
00:31:06,598 --> 00:31:09,897
you must be able to duck,
otherwise you make yourself a target...
433
00:31:09,968 --> 00:31:11,902
for every bobtail
who can throw a rock. "
434
00:31:11,970 --> 00:31:15,030
- Now, that's the price you pay for being a Barkley.
- Yeah.
435
00:31:15,106 --> 00:31:19,099
Only in Heath's case,
it could be a lot more than just rocks.
436
00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:22,374
- It could be a rope.
- No! They-They can't!
437
00:31:22,447 --> 00:31:24,938
They can't do that!
Not to Heath!
438
00:31:26,251 --> 00:31:28,242
We won't let them,
will we, Jarrod?
439
00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:31,846
Believe me, Liberty,
we'll do everything we can.
440
00:31:31,923 --> 00:31:36,622
Jarrod-Jarrod, you have got
to make them listen.
441
00:31:36,694 --> 00:31:40,095
You've got to make them
understand how he was.
442
00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:45,227
He- He was cold and cruel
and insanelyjealous.!
443
00:31:45,303 --> 00:31:49,330
If only I hadn't gone
to see Heath that night.
444
00:31:49,407 --> 00:31:53,844
If- If I hadn't screamed
after Ambrose hit me.
445
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:59,282
That's why he came back-
to help me.
446
00:32:00,818 --> 00:32:04,185
Now, we've got to find a way
to help him.
447
00:32:13,498 --> 00:32:15,432
What do you mean you're gonna
get another lawyer to defend me?
448
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:17,900
Calm down, will you?
Porter Hammond is one of the best.
449
00:32:17,969 --> 00:32:19,903
He's a master
with the jury.
450
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:22,166
Prosecutor wants to see you,
Jarrod. It's important.
451
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,231
All right.
452
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:27,768
Jarrod.
453
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:35,514
- We don't need another lawyer.
- I think we do.
454
00:32:35,586 --> 00:32:37,520
Public opinion
is running against us.
455
00:32:37,588 --> 00:32:39,556
We need somebody outside
the family.
456
00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:42,058
No. I put my money on you,
and it's stayin' on you.
457
00:32:43,461 --> 00:32:45,395
Hammond is on his way over here.
458
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:50,799
I'm startin' to
feel sorry for you.
459
00:32:50,868 --> 00:32:53,860
He's tryin' to back out.
460
00:32:53,938 --> 00:32:56,964
Maybe you ain't such a member
of the family as you thought.
461
00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:01,311
I wouldn't have believed it
of you, Jarrod.
462
00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:03,643
I wouldn't have believed
you'd been so stupid!
463
00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:08,783
He had nothing to do with it.
I told you that.
464
00:33:13,024 --> 00:33:15,185
- Nothing to do with what?
- Go on.
465
00:33:15,259 --> 00:33:19,355
Tell the big-time San Francisco lawyer
what you just told me.
466
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:21,421
Well?
467
00:33:24,168 --> 00:33:26,102
I killed Ambrose.
468
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,433
Well, doesn't that surprise you,
Barkley?
469
00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:32,373
Archer thinks you
put her up to it...
470
00:33:32,443 --> 00:33:36,812
- figurin'a jury'd go easier on a pretty woman.
- Oh.
471
00:33:36,881 --> 00:33:40,112
Well, Liberty,
if you're telling the truth...
472
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:42,311
that means that Heath is lying,
doesn't it?
473
00:33:42,387 --> 00:33:45,288
He must be taking
the blame for you.
474
00:33:45,356 --> 00:33:47,790
Heath knew nothing about it.
The theater was dark.
475
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:50,089
He- He didn't see me
fire the shot.
476
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:52,095
With what?
477
00:33:52,163 --> 00:33:54,825
With a gun you just happened
to have in your hand?
478
00:33:54,899 --> 00:33:56,833
The gun case
was on the table.
479
00:33:56,901 --> 00:33:59,392
Ambrose had one.
I used the other.
480
00:33:59,470 --> 00:34:02,303
And you claim that in the dark,
with all those bullets flying around...
481
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:04,705
yours was the one
that killed him?
482
00:34:05,843 --> 00:34:09,574
- I'm a very good shot.
- Really?
483
00:34:09,647 --> 00:34:12,480
Sheriff,
let me have your pistol.
484
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:16,478
We'll check and see how well
Mr. Barkley has coached you.
485
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:18,488
Don't push me
too far, Phil.
486
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:20,820
I don't need her to win this case,
and you know it.
487
00:34:20,892 --> 00:34:24,089
Just in case you're tempted,
we'll put her to the test.
488
00:34:26,631 --> 00:34:29,156
Look. That "Wanted" poster up on the wall.
The man on the poster.
489
00:34:29,233 --> 00:34:32,066
Go ahead and shoot him.
490
00:34:32,136 --> 00:34:35,503
Now, were your hands shaking
that much that night?
491
00:34:35,573 --> 00:34:38,064
Go ahead. It's dark!
The guns are going off!
492
00:34:38,142 --> 00:34:40,076
Show us how you hit him!
Go ahead! Go on!
493
00:34:40,144 --> 00:34:42,578
You didn't have the time!
Go ahead and shoot!
494
00:34:42,647 --> 00:34:44,945
All right.
495
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:48,718
Do you realize you might
have gone to prison...
496
00:34:48,786 --> 00:34:51,050
if your ability to handle a gun
had been any better?
497
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:56,758
You lied here,
and you'll lie on the stand.
498
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:29,992
Reconstructing the crime, Counselor?
499
00:35:30,061 --> 00:35:32,052
Something like that.
500
00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:35,992
- Those are the dressing rooms, huh?
- Oh, yeah.
501
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:38,797
- Would you mind unlocking 'em for me?
- Not at all.
502
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:41,634
Oh, say, by the way,
if it's any use to you...
503
00:35:41,706 --> 00:35:43,697
Ambrose was hitting the bottle
pretty hard that night.
504
00:35:43,774 --> 00:35:46,436
- Oh, really?
- Yeah, I noticed it before they went on.
505
00:35:46,511 --> 00:35:49,002
I told her to get
some food into him.
506
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,207
Poor thing.
I sure feel sorry for her.
507
00:35:51,282 --> 00:35:53,216
- This is hers, huh?
- Oh, yeah.
508
00:35:53,284 --> 00:35:55,445
This is his
right next to it.
509
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,454
I wonder what she's
gonna do now.
510
00:35:57,522 --> 00:36:01,014
It's kinda hard on a young woman-
all alone and near broke.
511
00:36:01,092 --> 00:36:03,390
She never could
make it singing.
512
00:36:03,461 --> 00:36:05,952
I guess she can always
go back to sharpshootin'.
513
00:36:07,064 --> 00:36:08,998
I didn't know Liberty
did any shooting.
514
00:36:09,066 --> 00:36:12,399
Oh, sure. Ambrose taught her
all kinds of trick shots.
515
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:14,495
I caught their act once
a couple of years ago.
516
00:36:14,572 --> 00:36:16,506
Just like all the others,
until he got the bright idea...
517
00:36:16,574 --> 00:36:19,065
of making her
the unexpected target.
518
00:36:19,143 --> 00:36:21,077
You know, kinda surprise
the audience.
519
00:36:21,145 --> 00:36:24,171
Him pretendin'he's drunk,
and she's in danger.
520
00:36:24,248 --> 00:36:27,183
Well, when you're finished,
I'll be in my office.
521
00:36:27,251 --> 00:36:29,242
Thank you very much.
522
00:37:01,252 --> 00:37:03,243
Just a minute.
523
00:37:11,696 --> 00:37:13,630
Well, may I come in?
524
00:37:13,698 --> 00:37:17,395
Well, is it something that can't
be taken care of at the office?
525
00:37:17,468 --> 00:37:20,733
I've come to ask a favor,
Phil. A big one.
526
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:24,841
Come in.
527
00:37:28,446 --> 00:37:30,380
Sit down.
528
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:32,473
I didn't know you still
played the tuba, Phil.
529
00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:35,383
Why should you know?
We haven't traveled in the same circles...
530
00:37:35,453 --> 00:37:37,478
since we were in
law school together.
531
00:37:37,555 --> 00:37:41,150
Seems to me we were friends then.
532
00:37:41,225 --> 00:37:44,160
People and water-
They both seek their own level.
533
00:37:44,228 --> 00:37:47,026
What is the favor, Jarrod?
534
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:49,032
Phil, I want you
to consider...
535
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:51,034
just for
the sake of argument...
536
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:54,833
the possibility that Liberty might have
been telling the truth yesterday.
537
00:37:54,905 --> 00:37:58,602
I figured you were bluffing when you said
you didn't need her to win your case.
538
00:37:58,676 --> 00:38:01,008
She said she was
a good shot.
539
00:38:01,078 --> 00:38:03,239
Yeah, well,
you saw how good.
540
00:38:03,314 --> 00:38:06,044
Good enough to be part
of the act at one time.
541
00:38:08,085 --> 00:38:10,053
Then how do you explain
what happened yesterday?
542
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,749
Nervousness, cold feet...
543
00:38:12,823 --> 00:38:15,553
or possibly the expert way
you drove at her.
544
00:38:15,626 --> 00:38:18,288
At any rate, she was at
the scene of the crime...
545
00:38:18,362 --> 00:38:21,024
and I'm convinced she had a reason
for wanting Ambrose dead.
546
00:38:21,098 --> 00:38:23,032
Speculation.
547
00:38:24,235 --> 00:38:26,465
- There's no way to prove that.
- But there is.
548
00:38:26,537 --> 00:38:29,597
We can compare the death bullet
with a bullet fired from Heath's gun.
549
00:38:29,674 --> 00:38:33,303
- How? The bullet was never removed.
- Why not?
550
00:38:33,377 --> 00:38:36,608
Well, Heath was found standing
over a dead man with a gun in his hand.
551
00:38:36,681 --> 00:38:39,081
He confessed to the killing.
There was no need to mutilate the body.
552
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:41,675
Phil, I want to see
those bullets.
553
00:38:41,752 --> 00:38:43,879
I want you to agree to an order
of exhumation.
554
00:38:43,954 --> 00:38:48,050
- That's the favor.
- He's buried in the churchyard.
555
00:38:48,125 --> 00:38:50,889
- That's consecrated ground.
- I know that, but there's legal precedent.
556
00:38:50,961 --> 00:38:52,952
It was ordered in San Francisco
three months ago.
557
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:54,998
But this is not
San Francisco!
558
00:38:55,066 --> 00:38:57,500
Here in Stockton, the dead have
a right to sleep undisturbed!
559
00:38:57,568 --> 00:39:01,470
What's more important, Phil? Respect
for the dead or justice for the living?
560
00:39:08,279 --> 00:39:10,577
I'm a public official.
561
00:39:10,648 --> 00:39:14,084
Well, that's very important to me.
I worked very hard for a very long time.
562
00:39:14,151 --> 00:39:16,619
May I ask what that
has to do with it?
563
00:39:16,687 --> 00:39:20,179
Well, I wouldn't expect a successful,
big-city lawyer to understand.
564
00:39:20,257 --> 00:39:24,523
I'm only interested in justice.
Equal justice!
565
00:39:26,897 --> 00:39:29,161
What is it you resent, Phil?
566
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:31,531
The fact that I didn't have to work
as hard for success as you did?
567
00:39:31,602 --> 00:39:34,799
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Then why are you out to get Heath?
568
00:39:34,872 --> 00:39:38,467
Why do you refuse to even consider
the possibility that he may be innocent?
569
00:39:38,542 --> 00:39:40,874
Because he is guilty!
570
00:39:42,146 --> 00:39:45,172
And none of your courtroom magic
can cheat justice!
571
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,148
You know something?
572
00:39:52,223 --> 00:39:54,282
You're infected-
573
00:39:54,358 --> 00:39:57,521
infected with the same blind,
rich-man/poor-man prejudice...
574
00:39:57,595 --> 00:39:59,529
that's spreading all through
this town.
575
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:03,632
Or are you
the source of it?
576
00:40:05,703 --> 00:40:09,298
Get out of here. Go on.
577
00:40:09,373 --> 00:40:11,364
Get out.
578
00:40:41,906 --> 00:40:43,897
Sorry, boys.
579
00:40:48,746 --> 00:40:50,839
You can go ahead home, Fred.
580
00:40:50,915 --> 00:40:53,406
And let you rob a grave?
I can't do that.
581
00:40:53,484 --> 00:40:56,419
- We've got permission.
- Not from Archer.
582
00:41:01,091 --> 00:41:04,527
- You went to the judge?
- We figure that bullet can clear Heath.
583
00:41:04,595 --> 00:41:06,722
Or put a rope around his neck.
584
00:41:31,155 --> 00:41:33,715
I didn't expect
this kind of cooperation, Phil.
585
00:41:33,791 --> 00:41:35,884
I want to thank you.
586
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,951
You're risking everything,
Barkley.
587
00:41:38,028 --> 00:41:41,725
Your reputation, your career
and your brother's life.
588
00:41:44,735 --> 00:41:46,669
Libby, what are you
doing here?
589
00:41:46,737 --> 00:41:49,672
Mr. Archer said there may be
a way I could help you.
590
00:41:49,740 --> 00:41:52,004
Well, that isn't quite correct.
591
00:41:52,076 --> 00:41:55,341
I wanted you here while we
conducted this experiment.
592
00:41:55,412 --> 00:41:59,678
You see, Mr. Barkley has a theory
that it was you who killed your husband.
593
00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:02,742
- That's a lie. She couldn't have.
- I wish I had.
594
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:05,618
I wish it had been me
instead of Heath.
595
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:08,852
- You leave her out of this.
- I'm afraid I can't do that, Heath.
596
00:42:10,494 --> 00:42:13,463
You see, bullets from the same gun
have identical markings and weight.
597
00:42:13,531 --> 00:42:16,500
Now, we're going to compare
the death bullet-
598
00:42:16,567 --> 00:42:20,025
the one on that scale there-
with a bullet from Heath's gun.
599
00:42:22,806 --> 00:42:24,797
This is your gun, isn't it?
600
00:42:27,578 --> 00:42:29,569
That's right.
601
00:42:46,897 --> 00:42:48,888
Here you are, Phil.
602
00:42:51,936 --> 00:42:54,666
Now, this scale is from
the assay department of a bank.
603
00:42:55,773 --> 00:42:57,764
It's completely accurate.
604
00:43:21,031 --> 00:43:23,397
I was so sure.
I was so very sure.
605
00:43:29,907 --> 00:43:32,034
I had to kill him.
606
00:43:33,410 --> 00:43:36,004
I had to.
607
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,344
I was afraid for Heath.
608
00:43:38,415 --> 00:43:41,248
Ambrose would have killed him.
609
00:43:44,722 --> 00:43:48,783
It would have been my fault.
All my fault!
610
00:43:48,859 --> 00:43:52,056
You didn't have to kill him
to prevent that.
611
00:43:52,129 --> 00:43:54,120
You're an expert shot, Liberty...
612
00:43:55,966 --> 00:43:59,094
despite that deceptive
exhibition you put on here.
613
00:44:01,005 --> 00:44:03,496
You could have placed this
bullet anywhere you wanted.
614
00:44:04,675 --> 00:44:07,439
You wanted him dead.
615
00:44:20,791 --> 00:44:23,089
She won't shoot me.
616
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:24,544
Libby?
617
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:28,581
Libby?
618
00:45:28,659 --> 00:45:30,650
- I'll get a doctor.
- No.
619
00:45:35,432 --> 00:45:37,957
Don't try to talk.
620
00:45:38,035 --> 00:45:43,166
I have to talk.
I have to make you understand.
621
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:46,971
I never wanted
to hurt you, Heath.
622
00:45:48,545 --> 00:45:53,915
I-I never thought
you'd go to trial.
623
00:45:53,984 --> 00:45:57,852
I thought the Barkleys
were too important.
624
00:45:59,389 --> 00:46:01,516
Libby, there's no need
to explain.
625
00:46:05,195 --> 00:46:07,390
Help me, Heath.
626
00:46:10,734 --> 00:46:12,929
Make them understand.
627
00:46:15,172 --> 00:46:17,538
I had to kill him.
628
00:46:19,576 --> 00:46:22,204
You-You saw how he was...
629
00:46:23,213 --> 00:46:25,340
how he treated me.
630
00:46:27,184 --> 00:46:30,278
How- How else
could I escape?
631
00:46:31,955 --> 00:46:36,051
H-How else could I marry you?
632
00:46:36,126 --> 00:46:38,151
Libby-
633
00:46:42,166 --> 00:46:46,227
Where are all the bright lights
Papa promised?
634
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:49,572
Where, Papa?
635
00:46:55,746 --> 00:46:59,842
I- I came close, Papa.
636
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:04,310
So close.
637
00:47:06,190 --> 00:47:08,954
Our dream almost-
638
00:47:09,026 --> 00:47:11,187
almost came true.
639
00:47:13,230 --> 00:47:18,190
Just... that far away.
640
00:47:34,151 --> 00:47:36,085
Libby?
641
00:47:42,192 --> 00:47:43,921
Libby.
642
00:47:47,965 --> 00:47:49,956
Libby.
643
00:47:53,637 --> 00:47:55,571
Libby.
644
00:48:25,969 --> 00:48:28,494
I don't like to see you
punish yourself this way.
645
00:48:30,274 --> 00:48:32,765
They're both dead.
646
00:48:32,843 --> 00:48:34,811
She killed Ambrose
because of me.
647
00:48:34,878 --> 00:48:38,678
No, she killed him because
she was too weak at 16...
648
00:48:38,749 --> 00:48:41,149
to live your kind of life...
649
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,153
and too weak at 25
to live with her own mistakes.
650
00:48:47,124 --> 00:48:49,684
I keep remembering
when we were kids...
651
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,751
all the things she wanted.
652
00:48:53,330 --> 00:48:56,197
And all her life,
they were just out of reach...
653
00:48:58,769 --> 00:49:00,703
just that far away.
654
00:49:05,909 --> 00:49:08,901
She wanted the wrong things.
655
00:49:08,979 --> 00:49:10,970
And she could have had
so much.
656
00:49:12,983 --> 00:49:14,974
So very much.
657
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,397
I've come to apologize.
Well, you were right about me.
658
00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:30,558
It was a personal resentment
of you-
659
00:49:30,634 --> 00:49:34,400
of your success
and your way with people.
660
00:49:35,973 --> 00:49:39,033
Now, if either of you
want further satisfaction...
661
00:49:39,109 --> 00:49:41,168
we can go out
behind the barn.
662
00:49:42,779 --> 00:49:45,577
Well, what do you think, Heath?
Down by Snyder's Creek?
663
00:49:47,250 --> 00:49:50,481
Well, since there isn't
going to be any trial tomorrow...
664
00:49:50,554 --> 00:49:54,115
we can see if the fish
are biting.
665
00:49:54,191 --> 00:49:57,627
- After everything that happened?
- If it'll make you feel any better, Phil...
666
00:49:57,694 --> 00:49:59,685
you can dig the worms.
