Dan Hardy, no.
10
00:01:04,238 --> 00:01:06,675
I'm sorry, Mr. Bundage,
I'm...
11
00:01:06,718 --> 00:01:08,807
Just not convinced
we're doing the right thing.
12
00:01:10,244 --> 00:01:11,767
Well,
you have a right to be wrong.
13
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:13,247
Go on, Mr. Sweigert.
14
00:01:14,813 --> 00:01:16,337
Sweigert, yes.
15
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:20,123
Abner Cox, yes.

Mr. Bundage, yes.
17
00:01:27,609 --> 00:01:30,264
That's it.
All in favor except one.
18
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,529
And Hackett, who you said
wasn't eligible to vote.
19
00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:48,151
How about it, Dan?
20
00:01:48,195 --> 00:01:50,806
Any chance you might change
your mind and make it
unanimous?
21
00:02:16,832 --> 00:02:19,748
You voted to secede
from the United States?
22
00:02:21,228 --> 00:02:24,361
Dan, that's the craziest thing
I ever heard of.
23
00:02:24,405 --> 00:02:26,755
It's not so crazy.
24
00:02:26,798 --> 00:02:29,105
People have started
their own new countries before.
25
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:32,108
But Dan, we're Americans.
26
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:35,503
How did we get to be Americans?
27
00:02:35,546 --> 00:02:37,766
We put up
the Declaration of Independence
28
00:02:37,809 --> 00:02:40,769
against taxation
without representation.
29
00:02:40,812 --> 00:02:42,205
Do you know what happened
this morning?
30
00:02:43,902 --> 00:02:45,600
Federal mining tax collector
31
00:02:45,643 --> 00:02:47,689
showed up again
from San Francisco.
32
00:02:47,732 --> 00:02:49,299
The government
back in Washington
33
00:02:49,343 --> 00:02:50,866
has raised our taxes again.
34
00:02:50,909 --> 00:02:53,434
That's the third time
since we started the town.
35
00:02:54,826 --> 00:02:56,611
What do we get for it?
36
00:02:57,829 --> 00:02:58,787
Nothing.
37
00:02:58,830 --> 00:03:00,658
Absolutely nothing.
38
00:03:00,702 --> 00:03:03,487
You sound just like
Mr. Bundage.
39
00:03:03,531 --> 00:03:05,794
Well, he knows
what he's talking about.
40
00:03:07,361 --> 00:03:09,711
Mr. Bundage says
that all the politicians want
41
00:03:09,754 --> 00:03:13,236
is to grab all they can out of
what we dig out of the ground.
42
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,803
So why should we go on putting
up with it?
43
00:03:15,978 --> 00:03:19,242
But what good will it do
to stop being Americans?
44
00:03:19,286 --> 00:03:21,853
[Sighs]
Oh, Jenny.
You just don't understand.
45
00:03:26,815 --> 00:03:30,819
I saw Dr. Spencer
while you were at
Mr. Bundage's meeting today.
46
00:03:34,823 --> 00:03:37,304
We can expect the baby
in a few weeks.
47
00:03:37,347 --> 00:03:40,176
Did he say you're...
You're all right?
Uh-huh.
48
00:03:43,353 --> 00:03:44,659
We're both fine.
49
00:03:45,964 --> 00:03:49,751
He said, of course even
a Doctor can't be sure,
50
00:03:49,794 --> 00:03:51,709
but he thinks it will be a boy.
51
00:04:00,805 --> 00:04:02,764
It's going to seem strange,
52
00:04:02,807 --> 00:04:05,245
calling our son
a "Rough and Readian."
53
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:08,248
What I want him to be is a man.
54
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:11,773
Better man than his father,
that's what counts.
55
00:04:13,775 --> 00:04:16,647
Not what flag
he clips his hat to.
56
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:20,216
We're going to have a flag
of our own.
57
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:22,653
Joe Sweigert and Abner Cox
will have it ready Tuesday.
58
00:04:22,697 --> 00:04:24,742
Is that when we leave
the United States?
59
00:04:24,786 --> 00:04:27,789
It's when we become the New
Republic of Rough and Ready.
60
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:32,794
The Republic of Rough and Ready.
61
00:04:32,837 --> 00:04:34,709
Well, what was Texas
62
00:04:34,752 --> 00:04:36,754
'til Moses Austin
and Sam Houston came along?
63
00:04:38,408 --> 00:04:40,715
They made Texas
a Southern Republic.
64
00:04:40,758 --> 00:04:42,673
So the United States
had to come asking,
65
00:04:42,717 --> 00:04:44,806
"won't you please come in?"
66
00:04:44,849 --> 00:04:47,330
That could happen in California.
67
00:04:47,374 --> 00:04:50,986
Dan, do you really believe
what you're saying?
68
00:04:53,467 --> 00:04:55,730
Well anyhow, it's done.
69
00:04:55,773 --> 00:04:58,733
We elected
Mr. Bundage President.
70
00:04:58,776 --> 00:05:00,778
Oh, naturally
he'd be President.
71
00:05:01,779 --> 00:05:03,390
What did they elect you?
72
00:05:04,782 --> 00:05:05,783
Nothing.
73
00:05:07,655 --> 00:05:08,786
Why not?
74
00:05:10,353 --> 00:05:11,876
Well, uh...
75
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,967
One reason,
because at first I voted no.
76
00:05:18,405 --> 00:05:21,756
So they talked you into
changing your vote.
77
00:05:30,765 --> 00:05:32,723
A man has to live
with his neighbors.
78
00:05:34,769 --> 00:05:37,511
Joe Sweigert's
the Vice President,
79
00:05:37,554 --> 00:05:39,730
and Abner Cox is going to be
Secretary of State.
80
00:05:39,774 --> 00:05:42,733
And you and the rest of us
take our orders from them.
81
00:05:42,777 --> 00:05:45,606
Well, that's the way it was
with the 13 Colonies
82
00:05:45,649 --> 00:05:48,478
and Thomas Jefferson
and John Adams
and John hancock.
83
00:05:48,522 --> 00:05:51,351
Only now it's Bundage,
Sweigert, and Cox.
84
00:05:51,394 --> 00:05:53,396
Oh, Jenny.
85
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,789
You just don't understand.
86
00:05:58,445 --> 00:05:59,750
I'll fix your supper.
87
00:06:10,848 --> 00:06:13,982
[Drum beating]
88
00:06:50,758 --> 00:06:51,846
Fellow citizens...
89
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:58,722
With the lowering of the flag
of the United States,
90
00:06:58,766 --> 00:07:02,465
we cross the threshold out
of the dead and buried past,
91
00:07:02,509 --> 00:07:05,860
into the bright promise
of a golden future.
92
00:07:05,903 --> 00:07:07,470
[Crowd murmuring]
93
00:07:07,514 --> 00:07:10,473
I will now read
the code of conduct,
94
00:07:10,517 --> 00:07:12,606
which will govern
us henceforth.
95
00:07:12,649 --> 00:07:14,738
Which, of course, he wrote.
Shh.
96
00:07:14,782 --> 00:07:19,482
We the people of the great
Republic of Rough and Ready,
97
00:07:19,526 --> 00:07:22,703
united in a common cause,
98
00:07:22,746 --> 00:07:26,794
do ordain and establish the
cornerstone of our constitution
99
00:07:26,837 --> 00:07:28,448
as follows.
100
00:07:28,491 --> 00:07:30,798
Article one--
101
00:07:30,841 --> 00:07:33,714
it shall be the sole right,
privilege, and discretion
102
00:07:33,757 --> 00:07:35,585
of our President to demand
103
00:07:35,629 --> 00:07:38,762
equal obligations
from each and every citizen.
104
00:07:39,763 --> 00:07:41,591
Article two--
105
00:07:41,635 --> 00:07:45,856
no man, woman, child,
or beast shall enter or remain
106
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,729
in our Republic
without securing
the permission
107
00:07:48,772 --> 00:07:51,471
of the President,
Vice President, and Cabinet.
108
00:07:54,952 --> 00:07:55,953
It's not over yet.
109
00:07:55,997 --> 00:07:57,302
It is for me.
110
00:07:57,346 --> 00:07:59,522
I'm going home and think
how I can tell our son
111
00:07:59,566 --> 00:08:01,742
he's not an American.
112
00:08:01,785 --> 00:08:03,395
He's a rough and readian.
113
00:08:34,775 --> 00:08:36,124
Take your money back.
114
00:08:42,696 --> 00:08:44,698
That's my money.
I won it fair and square.
115
00:08:44,741 --> 00:08:45,699
You're a liar,
116
00:08:45,742 --> 00:08:47,439
a cheat, and a thief.
117
00:08:47,483 --> 00:08:48,832
Take your money back,
gentlemen.
118
00:08:48,876 --> 00:08:50,747
Mr. Cox, divide the money
equally between them.
119
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,446
Hackett, you're through
in rough and ready.
120
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:58,015
Who says?
He says,
and he's the President.
121
00:08:58,059 --> 00:08:59,974
The President's in Washington.
122
00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:02,063
I'm a free-born
American citizen,
123
00:09:02,106 --> 00:09:04,065
I didn't vote for your flag,
I know my rights.
124
00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:07,590
Undesirables have no rights
in our republic.
Take him away.
125
00:09:18,645 --> 00:09:19,689
I'll kill ya.
126
00:09:19,733 --> 00:09:21,082
You hear me?
127
00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:23,127
I'll blow a hole through
that thick skull of yours.
128
00:09:23,171 --> 00:09:24,694
You'll kill nobody.
129
00:09:24,738 --> 00:09:26,696
Start him moving.
Take him to jail.
130
00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:29,046
Let's not have
any unnecessary violence.
131
00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:30,744
I'll just make sure
he gets there.
132
00:09:35,966 --> 00:09:38,099
Mr. Bundage.
Mr. Bundage.
133
00:09:39,448 --> 00:09:41,058
I didn't know our new
constitution
134
00:09:41,102 --> 00:09:43,495
covers convicting a man
without a trial.
135
00:09:43,539 --> 00:09:45,541
And I didn't know
you'd defend a man like that.
136
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,674
I'm not defending him but,
137
00:09:47,717 --> 00:09:49,589
well, this is going pretty far.
138
00:09:49,632 --> 00:09:51,678
If you feel you can't be loyal
139
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:53,418
to the government
you helped elect,
140
00:09:53,462 --> 00:09:54,681
why don't you leave?
141
00:09:54,724 --> 00:09:57,771
Oh, now...
142
00:09:57,814 --> 00:09:59,729
Wait a minute.
143
00:09:59,773 --> 00:10:02,863
Mr. Bundage is our President.
144
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:16,964
Gentlemen.
145
00:10:54,218 --> 00:10:58,179
Uh...what's this I hear about
my property on Skully Creek
146
00:10:58,222 --> 00:10:59,833
being taken over
by the government?
147
00:10:59,876 --> 00:11:03,575
Mr. Bundage introduced
a bill to use the land
148
00:11:03,619 --> 00:11:05,752
as the site for the President's
new White House,
149
00:11:05,795 --> 00:11:07,492
which we're going to build.
150
00:11:07,536 --> 00:11:10,495
The cabinet passed
the bill unanimously.
151
00:11:10,539 --> 00:11:12,149
Nobody asked me about it.
152
00:11:12,193 --> 00:11:15,587
Well, you can lodge a protest
if you want to.
153
00:11:15,631 --> 00:11:17,720
Just put it down in writing
154
00:11:17,764 --> 00:11:19,722
and I'll take it up
at the next cabinet meeting.
155
00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:29,776
Any more questions?
156
00:11:29,819 --> 00:11:32,126
Just one more, Mr. Cox.
157
00:11:33,736 --> 00:11:35,695
What's a foreigner's picture
doing
158
00:11:35,738 --> 00:11:39,481
in the sanctum sanctorum
of the Secretary of State
159
00:11:39,524 --> 00:11:41,091
of the Great Republic
of Rough and Ready?
160
00:11:42,963 --> 00:11:45,705
What? That's George Washington.
161
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:47,707
Well, he's not
the Father of our country.
162
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:49,709
Mr. Bundage is.
163
00:11:49,752 --> 00:11:52,189
Now, now, look here, Dan.
164
00:11:52,233 --> 00:11:54,061
That kind of talk
won't be put up with.
165
00:11:54,104 --> 00:11:56,106
You'll get more of it
166
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:57,717
and not just in writing.
167
00:11:59,588 --> 00:12:01,721
You threatening Mr. Cox here?
168
00:12:01,764 --> 00:12:02,765
It's none of your business.
169
00:12:02,809 --> 00:12:04,680
I'm making it my business.
170
00:12:06,987 --> 00:12:08,510
Help him, Pa.
171
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:13,994
Hit him again, Pa.
172
00:12:14,037 --> 00:12:16,648
All right, all right,
I'll take charge here.
173
00:12:16,692 --> 00:12:18,085
You're under arrest.
Come on with me.
174
00:12:18,128 --> 00:12:19,913
Hold it. Hold it.
You can't arrest him,
175
00:12:19,956 --> 00:12:20,914
you're not the Marshall.
176
00:12:20,957 --> 00:12:22,524
The President says I am.
177
00:12:22,567 --> 00:12:24,656
We'll see what the President
has to say to you. Come on.
178
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:26,702
Wait a minute.
He started it.
179
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,095
Jake's a member
of the cabinet.
180
00:12:28,138 --> 00:12:29,574
What difference
does that make?
181
00:12:29,618 --> 00:12:31,968
Ah, you better read up
on them new laws we passed.
182
00:12:32,012 --> 00:12:33,709
You better read up real good.
183
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,537
Now, the rest of you folks
go about your business.
184
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:37,713
We don't want any congregating
of crowds. Come on.
185
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:40,629
Wasn't Pa's fault.
186
00:12:40,672 --> 00:12:41,761
He started it.
187
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:43,893
Yeah, but he's a member
of the cabinet.
188
00:12:43,937 --> 00:12:45,286
You can't touch him.
189
00:12:46,635 --> 00:12:47,636
[Chuckles]
Pa.
190
00:12:59,735 --> 00:13:03,608
Dan, it doesn't help matters
any you starving yourself.
191
00:13:03,652 --> 00:13:04,958
I'm just not hungry.
192
00:13:07,090 --> 00:13:10,877
I let Joe Sweigert
walk all over me today.
193
00:13:17,927 --> 00:13:20,234
Is that all that bothers you?
194
00:13:20,277 --> 00:13:22,279
I don't know.
195
00:13:22,323 --> 00:13:23,715
Maybe it's just because
196
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:25,761
I'm so used to standing up
for my rights
197
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:27,763
or anybody else's.
198
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:30,766
Does anybody have any rights
199
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,899
in the Great Republic
of Rough and Ready?
200
00:13:34,378 --> 00:13:36,728
Looks less and less like it
all the time, doesn't it?
201
00:13:38,208 --> 00:13:40,036
I can't figure it.
202
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,604
Bundage, Sweigert, Cox,
Jake Walling,
203
00:13:42,647 --> 00:13:43,779
and all the rest good men.
204
00:13:45,085 --> 00:13:47,914
Neighborly, decent, careful
not to harm the other fella.
205
00:13:48,958 --> 00:13:51,700
All at once, they've changed.
206
00:13:51,743 --> 00:13:53,702
And I'm just as much to blame
for it as they are.
207
00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:55,878
I voted right along with them.
208
00:13:55,922 --> 00:13:57,575
Now I don't know where
it's going to end,
209
00:13:57,619 --> 00:13:59,142
and I don't know
what to do about it.
210
00:13:59,186 --> 00:14:01,884
You should have thought
about that before you voted.
211
00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:06,149
Oh, honey.
212
00:14:07,585 --> 00:14:09,805
A man can make such a doggone
fool of himself
213
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,763
when he really puts
his mind to it.
214
00:14:21,164 --> 00:14:22,426
Sweigert,
215
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:24,341
how long will it be before
we get to my job?
216
00:14:24,385 --> 00:14:25,908
As soon as I get through here.
217
00:14:25,952 --> 00:14:27,257
Well, hurry it up.
218
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:33,829
[Clanging]
219
00:14:39,748 --> 00:14:41,141
[Boy]
Mr. Hardy!
220
00:14:41,184 --> 00:14:42,359
Mr. Hardy!
221
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:44,971
Mr. Hardy.
222
00:14:45,014 --> 00:14:46,581
Got something for ya.
223
00:14:46,624 --> 00:14:48,757
Don't tell me there's a circus
coming to town?
224
00:14:50,193 --> 00:14:52,413
Read it quick,
before someone sees me.
225
00:14:58,854 --> 00:15:00,682
Who hired you to pass
these around?
226
00:15:00,725 --> 00:15:02,989
Nobody hired me,
I'm doing it for Pa.
227
00:15:03,032 --> 00:15:05,687
Mr. Bundage fined him
$100 in dust
228
00:15:05,730 --> 00:15:07,384
for that fight
in Mr. Cox's store.
229
00:15:09,256 --> 00:15:11,693
[Mutters]
Pa says it's time
for another mass meeting.
230
00:15:11,736 --> 00:15:13,956
Says this time,
he wants everybody there.
Listen.
231
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,698
Say if we got the right to be
a free and independent state,
232
00:15:16,741 --> 00:15:19,179
we got the right to choose
who's gonna do our talking
for us.
233
00:15:19,222 --> 00:15:21,355
You there.
You, Jamie Wilson.
234
00:15:21,398 --> 00:15:22,660
Oh, gosh!
235
00:15:23,705 --> 00:15:24,967
Give me those.
Let go of him.
236
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:26,186
You keep out of this.
237
00:15:26,229 --> 00:15:27,970
I said let go of him.
That's all right.
238
00:15:30,668 --> 00:15:32,235
He wants to start
a revolution.
239
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,672
I thought we already had
our revolution
240
00:15:34,716 --> 00:15:36,718
when we pulled out
of the United States.
241
00:15:38,024 --> 00:15:40,678
Go home, son.
Stay there.
242
00:15:40,722 --> 00:15:43,681
And I suggest you do the same.
243
00:15:43,725 --> 00:15:45,988
I don't like your attitude,
Dan.
244
00:15:46,032 --> 00:15:50,427
Well, then go get your cabinet
to pass a law against
attitudes.
245
00:15:53,691 --> 00:15:55,650
Burn 'em.
246
00:15:55,693 --> 00:15:58,131
If any more show up, arrest
whoever's circulating them.
247
00:15:58,174 --> 00:15:59,697
Now look, Mr. Bundage.
248
00:15:59,741 --> 00:16:01,699
President Bundage.
249
00:16:05,877 --> 00:16:07,705
Come on, Jamie.
250
00:16:11,666 --> 00:16:12,972
Let's get back to that job.
251
00:16:38,693 --> 00:16:40,173
Fellow citizens,
252
00:16:40,216 --> 00:16:41,957
I have called you together
so that
253
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:45,743
fair warning may be given
once and for all to all alike.
254
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:49,356
United we stand,
divided we fall
255
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:50,661
was a precept laid down
256
00:16:50,705 --> 00:16:53,012
by the founding fathers
of the United States,
257
00:16:53,055 --> 00:16:54,752
from which we have seceded.
258
00:16:54,796 --> 00:16:57,668
But the principle
is the same for us,
259
00:16:57,712 --> 00:16:59,975
and it will be enforced.
260
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,672
As your Elected President,
261
00:17:01,716 --> 00:17:05,415
I hereby proclaim
a State of Emergency.
262
00:17:05,459 --> 00:17:07,417
During which there will be
no more more public
263
00:17:07,461 --> 00:17:10,420
or private gatherings
of more than four persons,
264
00:17:10,464 --> 00:17:12,857
except by permission
of the President.
265
00:17:12,901 --> 00:17:15,208
Any secret meetings
will be broken up.
266
00:17:15,251 --> 00:17:16,687
The organizers
will be prosecuted.
267
00:17:16,731 --> 00:17:19,429
And in connection with this,
one of our two churches
268
00:17:19,473 --> 00:17:21,257
will be closed
until further notice.
269
00:17:21,301 --> 00:17:26,349
I have no personal prejudice
against any religion.
270
00:17:26,393 --> 00:17:30,136
But duty requires me to take
every possible step
to make sure
271
00:17:30,179 --> 00:17:32,442
that we are 100% united.
272
00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:33,443
What is it?
273
00:17:33,487 --> 00:17:35,097
Look who's back.
274
00:17:37,012 --> 00:17:38,274
Arrest him.
275
00:17:39,493 --> 00:17:40,842
Stop right there, Mister.
276
00:17:40,885 --> 00:17:43,932
Now you just stand there
and sweat.
277
00:17:43,975 --> 00:17:46,239
I promised you something
when you and your President
278
00:17:46,282 --> 00:17:48,328
ran me out of here last time.
279
00:17:48,371 --> 00:17:50,286
And now you're going to get it.
280
00:17:53,463 --> 00:17:55,509
You touch that pistol,
Hackett, and you'll hang.
281
00:17:56,771 --> 00:17:58,338
Who's going to hang me,
you,
282
00:17:58,381 --> 00:18:01,471
you puffed up
old loud-mouth windbag?
283
00:18:15,311 --> 00:18:16,312
He's dead.
284
00:18:25,930 --> 00:18:28,411
I looked around for you,
and you were gone.
285
00:18:28,455 --> 00:18:30,021
Bundage called a mass meeting.
286
00:18:30,065 --> 00:18:31,719
They voted to hang Hackett
in the morning.
287
00:18:31,762 --> 00:18:33,460
I won't be here
to see the hanging.
288
00:18:35,766 --> 00:18:38,291
Now, what kind of talk
is that?
289
00:18:38,334 --> 00:18:39,422
Jenny,
290
00:18:39,466 --> 00:18:42,904
I know it was an awful thing
to see.
291
00:18:42,947 --> 00:18:46,081
I know you hate
what's going on,
292
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:48,083
but you're not going any place.
293
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,520
We live here.
This is where we belong.
294
00:18:50,564 --> 00:18:53,436
Maybe you do, Dan,
but our son doesn't.
295
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,352
He has a right to be born
in a free country.
296
00:18:56,396 --> 00:18:59,050
I built this house
for you and for him,
297
00:18:59,094 --> 00:19:00,400
and he's going to be born
in it.
298
00:19:00,443 --> 00:19:01,879
And you helped build
299
00:19:01,923 --> 00:19:04,186
the Great Republic
of Rough and Ready, too.
300
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:06,362
No I didn't.
I'm just one man.
301
00:19:06,406 --> 00:19:08,495
The kind of man
you want your son to be?
302
00:19:14,283 --> 00:19:15,806
Let me go now, Dan.
303
00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:17,895
No. No, I won't.
304
00:19:19,027 --> 00:19:20,811
Jenny, what's happened to us?
305
00:19:25,468 --> 00:19:27,427
You're right.
306
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:29,864
You're always right.
307
00:19:29,907 --> 00:19:32,823
Jenny, why'd you ever marry
such a weak-kneed fool?
308
00:19:48,274 --> 00:19:51,190
[Bundage]
That's fine.
Now lift him up on that box.
309
00:19:55,890 --> 00:19:57,892
Tie the end of the rope
to that Axel there.
310
00:20:01,461 --> 00:20:03,114
Mr. Cox,
311
00:20:03,158 --> 00:20:04,420
as the Secretary of State,
312
00:20:04,464 --> 00:20:08,032
it's your duty
to complete the execution.
313
00:20:08,076 --> 00:20:09,338
Why me?
314
00:20:09,382 --> 00:20:10,600
I'm no hangman.
315
00:20:10,644 --> 00:20:13,429
We all have to perform duties
we dislike.
316
00:20:13,473 --> 00:20:15,388
Well, you don't dislike this.
317
00:20:15,431 --> 00:20:17,216
You want to see him hang.
318
00:20:17,259 --> 00:20:19,261
Wasn't him,
it'd be somebody else.
319
00:20:19,305 --> 00:20:21,916
Just to prove how high and
mighty, almighty you are--
320
00:20:21,959 --> 00:20:24,440
you're a coward, Mr. Cox,
a fool and a coward.
321
00:20:24,484 --> 00:20:26,442
You're not fit to be
a member of my government.
322
00:20:26,486 --> 00:20:28,444
All right, I resign.
I quit.
323
00:20:28,488 --> 00:20:30,490
I didn't want
to have anything to do
with this.
324
00:20:34,015 --> 00:20:35,321
[Gunshot]
325
00:20:43,459 --> 00:20:46,157
What's the meaning of this?
What do you think you're doing?
326
00:20:46,201 --> 00:20:47,420
We're here to stop you
from doing
327
00:20:47,463 --> 00:20:48,899
what you have no right to do.
328
00:20:48,943 --> 00:20:50,292
That man's a murderer.
329
00:20:50,336 --> 00:20:53,077
You all saw him kill
Joe Sweigert in cold blood.
330
00:20:53,121 --> 00:20:56,429
That's for a judge
and jury to decide.
Not you, Mr. Bundage.
331
00:20:56,472 --> 00:20:58,082
You elected me
as your President.
332
00:20:58,126 --> 00:20:59,432
You adopted the constitution.
333
00:20:59,475 --> 00:21:01,869
We're UN-electing you
as President.
334
00:21:01,912 --> 00:21:03,610
We're calling off
your constitution.
335
00:21:03,653 --> 00:21:06,221
We're rejoining
the United States of America.
336
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:09,311
You can't do that.
It's too late.
We are a New Republic.
337
00:21:09,355 --> 00:21:11,487
We can, and we're going to.
338
00:21:13,272 --> 00:21:14,447
Now, he's in your custody.
339
00:21:18,451 --> 00:21:21,541
I doubt that President
Zachary Taylor back in
Washington
340
00:21:21,584 --> 00:21:24,326
even knows we ever seceded
from the Union.
341
00:21:24,370 --> 00:21:28,112
But if he does,
I hope and pray he'll excuse us
342
00:21:28,156 --> 00:21:31,290
for naming our town
"Rough and Ready" after him
343
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:32,421
and give us another chance
to prove
344
00:21:32,465 --> 00:21:34,641
we deserve what he fought
to get for us.
345
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:38,471
I'm as much to blame
as anybody.
346
00:21:38,514 --> 00:21:42,301
I voted "yes" because
it was easier than voting "no."
347
00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:45,086
I thank god I learned better
before it really was too late.
348

00:21:51,048 --> 00:21:52,398
I been saving up for today.
350
00:21:52,441 --> 00:21:53,529
Did you forget?
351
00:21:53,573 --> 00:21:55,401
Today is the Fourth of July,
352
00:21:55,444 --> 00:21:57,403
Independence Day!
353
00:21:57,446 --> 00:21:59,318
Independence Day.
354
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:00,406
Well, give me some of those.
355
00:22:00,449 --> 00:22:01,972
Sure, Mr. Hardy.
356
00:22:20,426 --> 00:22:25,082
[Popping]
357
00:22:25,126 --> 00:22:27,171
Where to now, Mr. Bundage?
358
00:22:27,215 --> 00:22:28,521
[Popping continues]
359
00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:50,934
I think you better take me home
and call for the doctor.
360
00:22:50,978 --> 00:22:53,154
I'm glad the baby waited.
361
00:22:53,197 --> 00:22:54,416
Now he'll never have to know
362
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:56,636
that he almost
wasn't an American.
363
00:23:11,477 --> 00:23:13,348
Well,
that's the way things happened
364
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:15,045
when the old west was young.
365
00:23:15,089 --> 00:23:17,352
Drive up the mother lode
highway,
366
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:20,311
along the golden chain from
Sonora through Angels Camp,
367
00:23:20,355 --> 00:23:21,487
past Sutter's Creek,
368
00:23:21,530 --> 00:23:23,706
past Coloma,
where the gold rush began.
369
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:25,360
Turn off at Grass Valley,
370
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:28,407
and you'll come to the town
still called Rough and Ready.
371
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:32,019
Still there. A milestone
in the march of California
372
00:23:32,062 --> 00:23:34,413
toward a star
on the Star Spangled Banner,
373
00:23:34,456 --> 00:23:37,416
a reminder to all of us
of our American birthright,
374
00:23:37,459 --> 00:23:41,202
a birthright that Rough
and Ready almost threw away.
375
00:23:41,245 --> 00:23:44,466
Next week, another true story
of the winning of the west.
376
00:23:44,510 --> 00:23:45,641
See you then.
