Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:14,335 --> 00:00:16,754
DRIVER: Hyah! Hyah!
2
00:00:40,574 --> 00:00:42,911
JIM: You never know
in this business.
3
00:00:42,954 --> 00:00:46,040
I had a Sunday off, I thought.
4
00:00:46,082 --> 00:00:48,543
And I was sitting in church,
enjoying the services
5
00:00:48,574 --> 00:00:49,992
when I got word that a telegram
6
00:00:50,034 --> 00:00:51,452
was coming through on the wire.
7
00:00:53,049 --> 00:00:55,051
It was a call from Wells Fargo,
8
00:00:55,052 --> 00:00:56,386
an emergency.
9
00:00:56,387 --> 00:00:57,887
One of our shotgun messengers
10
00:00:57,888 --> 00:01:00,558
had gotten himself
in bad trouble...
11
00:01:00,594 --> 00:01:02,430
Tad Cameron,
12
00:01:02,471 --> 00:01:05,225
a boy I had personally hired
and broke in on the job.
13
00:01:05,268 --> 00:01:08,187
And now he was up to his neck
on a charge of murder.
14
00:01:11,524 --> 00:01:13,192
Inside of four hours, I arrived
15
00:01:13,234 --> 00:01:14,777
in the town of Dry Wells.
16
00:01:19,911 --> 00:01:21,579
Where'll I find the sheriff?
17
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:23,582
He'll be here right out.
18
00:01:28,091 --> 00:01:29,426
Is this a posse?
19
00:01:29,468 --> 00:01:30,737
We're going out to find a killer
20
00:01:30,761 --> 00:01:33,472
by the name of Tad Cameron.
21
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,436
Are you Sheriff Lyons?
Right.
22
00:01:42,478 --> 00:01:43,771
I'm Jim Hardie,
23
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:45,898
an investigator for Wells Fargo.
24
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,608
Wells Fargo?
25
00:01:47,649 --> 00:01:50,069
It's one of your people
we're out looking for.
26
00:01:50,107 --> 00:01:52,443
Two days and
nights now, no sleep.
27
00:01:52,485 --> 00:01:54,278
Did you just come in
to freshen up?
28
00:01:54,318 --> 00:01:56,612
Yes, and we're heading
right out again.
29
00:01:56,653 --> 00:01:58,822
Too bad, Wells Fargo doesn't
take a little more care
30
00:01:58,853 --> 00:02:00,122
in the kind of people
they employ.
31
00:02:00,146 --> 00:02:01,899
The company is careful.
32
00:02:01,940 --> 00:02:03,066
I hired that man myself.
33
00:02:03,112 --> 00:02:04,279
I had and still do have
34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,948
a great deal of
confidence in him.
35
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:07,449
In that case, I say,
36
00:02:07,450 --> 00:02:09,327
you're a mighty
poor judge of character.
37
00:02:09,375 --> 00:02:11,962
And I say you're pretty
free with your opinions.
38
00:02:12,004 --> 00:02:13,589
Did you or anybody else
see the killing?
39
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:15,135
No, but I heard
a couple of shots
40
00:02:15,177 --> 00:02:17,136
from inside the livery stable.
41
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:18,639
George McClune and I busted in
42
00:02:18,643 --> 00:02:20,478
and found Bollinger dead,
43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,271
Cameron standing
over him with a gun.
44
00:02:22,313 --> 00:02:24,176
Now, if there's anything
else you'd like to know,
45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,326
ask McClune.
46
00:02:25,368 --> 00:02:27,328
He was there just like I was.
47
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:28,996
Come on, Pierce.
48
00:02:30,114 --> 00:02:32,158
All right, in the saddle.
49
00:02:37,888 --> 00:02:41,134
JIM: I had to find Tad Cameron
before they did.
50
00:02:41,135 --> 00:02:42,929
How? I didn't know,
51
00:02:42,971 --> 00:02:45,558
except maybe
by asking questions.
52
00:02:45,562 --> 00:02:46,979
Sometimes a few right answers
53
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:48,857
can show you shortcuts
a posse of man
54
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:50,819
on horseback might miss.
55
00:02:52,737 --> 00:02:54,948
Mr. McClune,
I'm Jim Hardie.
56
00:02:54,985 --> 00:02:56,363
Oh, yes.
You're the man
57
00:02:56,404 --> 00:02:58,155
Cameron's told me so much about.
58
00:02:58,156 --> 00:03:00,157
I'm sorry we couldn't be meeting
59
00:03:00,158 --> 00:03:01,618
under happier circumstances.
60
00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:03,370
I am, too.
61
00:03:03,412 --> 00:03:04,640
I always tried to be
a friend to the boy,
62
00:03:04,664 --> 00:03:05,849
but now I don't know about him
63
00:03:05,873 --> 00:03:07,375
runnin' out the way he did.
64
00:03:07,416 --> 00:03:09,524
Tell me something, you and
the sheriff broke in on him.
65
00:03:09,548 --> 00:03:10,674
How'd he get away?
66
00:03:10,716 --> 00:03:12,259
Held a gun on us and backed out,
67
00:03:12,301 --> 00:03:14,803
then made a dash for a horse.
68
00:03:14,842 --> 00:03:18,345
Is it true that Bollinger
used to ride him all the time?
69
00:03:18,386 --> 00:03:20,221
Nearly every time
he got liquored up.
70
00:03:20,222 --> 00:03:22,641
Vern Bollinger had
a mean streak in him.
71
00:03:22,683 --> 00:03:25,811
I was his partner, but
I couldn't handle him.
72
00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:27,069
I just can't believe Tad
73
00:03:27,111 --> 00:03:28,687
would shoot anybody in the back.
74
00:03:28,688 --> 00:03:30,774
Well, you got to remember
he was pretty riled up,
75
00:03:30,816 --> 00:03:32,609
and the final straw was Vern
76
00:03:32,651 --> 00:03:34,862
said something about his girl.
77
00:03:34,873 --> 00:03:36,207
Girl?
78
00:03:36,249 --> 00:03:37,709
Yeah. There are
plenty of witnesses
79
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:39,627
will tell you that Tad
strapped his gun on
80
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:40,880
and went looking for him.
81
00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:43,717
That girl, what's her name?
82
00:03:43,792 --> 00:03:45,377
Julie something or other.
Julie Taylor.
83
00:03:45,419 --> 00:03:46,754
Yeah.
84
00:03:46,795 --> 00:03:48,671
Tad wrote me about her.
85
00:03:48,672 --> 00:03:51,008
Where would a man find her?
86
00:03:51,049 --> 00:03:53,052
Well, I guess her
grandfather could tell you.
87
00:03:53,091 --> 00:03:56,427
Howie Taylor, he runs
the gunsmith shop.
88
00:03:56,428 --> 00:03:58,096
Thank you, Mr. McClune.
Not at all.
89
00:03:58,127 --> 00:03:59,795
I'm glad to do anything I can
90
00:03:59,837 --> 00:04:01,421
to help you or the boy.
91
00:04:01,422 --> 00:04:02,798
That's good to know.
92
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,211
There's a lot
of people who believe
93
00:04:04,212 --> 00:04:05,231
he's trying to make
a name for himself,
94
00:04:05,255 --> 00:04:06,881
but I don't believe it.
95
00:04:06,882 --> 00:04:08,909
My guess is that he's
a pretty scared boy right now.
96
00:04:08,933 --> 00:04:09,933
Mm-hmm.
97
00:04:17,276 --> 00:04:18,277
LYONS: There he is!
98
00:04:18,284 --> 00:04:19,994
Cameron!
99
00:04:20,036 --> 00:04:21,788
Stop or we'll shoot!
100
00:04:49,633 --> 00:04:50,926
He gave us the slip.
101
00:04:50,968 --> 00:04:53,136
He must be at the crest by now.
102
00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:54,642
We'll ride around the other side
103
00:04:54,684 --> 00:04:56,328
and see if we can catch him
coming down there.
104
00:04:56,352 --> 00:04:57,352
Come on.
105
00:05:07,235 --> 00:05:08,611
Howdy.
Howdy.
106
00:05:08,645 --> 00:05:10,312
Do something for you?
You Mr. Taylor?
107
00:05:10,313 --> 00:05:11,982
That's right.
I'm Jim Hardie.
108
00:05:11,983 --> 00:05:14,276
I was trying to locate
your granddaughter.
109
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,530
Why?
110
00:05:15,571 --> 00:05:18,157
I wanna to talk to her
about Tad Cameron.
111
00:05:23,282 --> 00:05:24,617
You a law officer?
112
00:05:24,659 --> 00:05:25,702
No, sir.
113
00:05:25,743 --> 00:05:27,453
Just a friend of his.
114
00:05:27,495 --> 00:05:30,832
Didn't know he had
any left except Julie.
115
00:05:30,874 --> 00:05:32,126
My gun interest you?
116
00:05:32,167 --> 00:05:34,168
Oh, every gun made interests me.
117
00:05:34,169 --> 00:05:36,505
Mind if I have a look at it?
118
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,092
It's loaded.
119
00:05:40,135 --> 00:05:41,803
Forty-years handling the things,
120
00:05:41,845 --> 00:05:44,348
a man gets this far as
it's second nature for him.
121
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:46,809
I reckon I've sold or repaired
about every shootin' iron
122
00:05:46,851 --> 00:05:48,352
this end of the state.
123
00:05:50,186 --> 00:05:51,646
Hmm.
124
00:05:51,688 --> 00:05:54,024
Could use new cylinder
one of these days.
125
00:05:54,026 --> 00:05:55,653
Otherwise, it's
a right nice weapon.
126
00:05:55,695 --> 00:05:57,655
Thank you.
127
00:05:57,697 --> 00:06:00,199
Now, that Vern Bollinger
that Tad up and killed.
128
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,783
Are you sure he killed him?
129
00:06:01,825 --> 00:06:04,369
Now, there's a man
liked a fancy gun.
130
00:06:04,377 --> 00:06:05,544
He was real handy with it, too,
131
00:06:05,545 --> 00:06:07,715
Silver Mountains and all.
132
00:06:07,757 --> 00:06:10,207
From what he told me,
a real two-gun killer once.
133
00:06:10,208 --> 00:06:12,794
Rode for a while
with the Texas Rangers.
134
00:06:12,836 --> 00:06:16,089
I asked if you thought
Tad Cameron killed him.
135
00:06:16,134 --> 00:06:18,095
Mister, I don't pretend
136
00:06:18,137 --> 00:06:19,889
to know a dern thing
about people.
137
00:06:19,890 --> 00:06:22,100
I just stick
to what I understand.
138
00:06:22,142 --> 00:06:23,643
Now, you take
one of these things.
139
00:06:23,683 --> 00:06:25,185
You put it together right,
140
00:06:25,226 --> 00:06:26,996
you got a reasonable
chance of knowing exactly
141
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,313
what it will do for you.
142
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,113
But the man who uses it,
who can figure that?
143
00:06:32,114 --> 00:06:35,990
I've got to agree with you, sir.
144
00:06:35,991 --> 00:06:38,391
Now, could you tell me where I
could find your granddaughter?
145
00:06:38,444 --> 00:06:41,614
Take the south road one mile
and the fork to the right.
146
00:06:41,615 --> 00:06:43,450
Thank you.
147
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:03,907
JIM: Hello there.
Hello.
148
00:07:03,912 --> 00:07:05,245
Are you running
this place by yourself?
149
00:07:05,246 --> 00:07:06,331
At the moment.
150
00:07:06,372 --> 00:07:08,208
Pa's not here.
151
00:07:08,284 --> 00:07:09,619
You're Julie Taylor, aren't you?
152
00:07:09,661 --> 00:07:10,954
How'd you know?
153
00:07:10,995 --> 00:07:12,163
Tad Cameron told me.
154
00:07:12,205 --> 00:07:13,499
Oh, you know Tad?
155
00:07:13,539 --> 00:07:15,957
He no sooner got
transferred to this job
156
00:07:15,958 --> 00:07:17,251
when I started getting letters
157
00:07:17,292 --> 00:07:19,753
telling me
all about Julie Taylor.
158
00:07:19,793 --> 00:07:22,003
My name's Jim Hardie.
159
00:07:22,045 --> 00:07:23,171
Oh, yes.
160
00:07:23,213 --> 00:07:25,591
He used to talk about you a lot.
161
00:07:25,633 --> 00:07:27,273
Oh, he couldn't have
killed Mr. Bollinger,
162
00:07:27,301 --> 00:07:28,386
not like they said.
163
00:07:28,425 --> 00:07:29,760
I agree with you.
164
00:07:29,802 --> 00:07:31,428
You do?
165
00:07:31,470 --> 00:07:33,222
Aren't you out here
to arrest him?
166
00:07:33,264 --> 00:07:35,558
I'm up here
to help him if I can.
167
00:07:35,594 --> 00:07:36,906
But he's gonna have to
come back here
168
00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:37,972
and face this thing.
169
00:07:37,973 --> 00:07:41,017
Well, how are you going to...
170
00:07:41,105 --> 00:07:43,987
Oh, you think
I know where he is.
171
00:07:43,988 --> 00:07:45,614
Is that why you came out here?
172
00:07:45,656 --> 00:07:48,451
I'd bet on it.
173
00:07:48,490 --> 00:07:50,826
No man can cut himself
off from everybody.
174
00:07:50,868 --> 00:07:54,246
Well, even if I did know,
I wouldn't lead you to him,
175
00:07:54,287 --> 00:07:56,080
not when he doesn't
wanna come back.
176
00:07:56,122 --> 00:07:59,001
It's the only chance
he has is to come back.
177
00:07:59,035 --> 00:08:01,246
He wouldn't have a chance.
178
00:08:01,288 --> 00:08:03,290
Well, I know
of at least two people
179
00:08:03,345 --> 00:08:05,013
that are on his side.
180
00:08:05,014 --> 00:08:07,182
I haven't dared go up there.
181
00:08:07,183 --> 00:08:09,769
I didn't wanna lead
a posse to him.
182
00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:12,313
But if somebody doesn't go
up there, he's...
183
00:08:12,354 --> 00:08:13,981
He'll starve.
184
00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:15,605
You tell me the way.
185
00:08:15,646 --> 00:08:18,649
The south base
of Broken Mountain,
186
00:08:18,685 --> 00:08:21,021
right above the timberline.
187
00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:22,607
There's an old mine up there,
188
00:08:22,648 --> 00:08:25,526
and I'm almost sure
that's where he is.
189
00:08:59,032 --> 00:09:00,867
TAD: Put your hands up
where I can see them.
190
00:09:02,577 --> 00:09:04,579
And don't make
any sudden moves, mister.
191
00:09:11,745 --> 00:09:13,288
Hello, Tad.
192
00:09:13,330 --> 00:09:15,290
Mr. Hardie.
193
00:09:15,338 --> 00:09:16,465
I came to pay you a visit.
194
00:09:16,507 --> 00:09:19,260
No, keep them up.
195
00:09:19,309 --> 00:09:21,687
I thought we were friends, boy.
196
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,563
I just ran out of friends.
197
00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:26,009
I don't believe it.
198
00:09:26,051 --> 00:09:27,679
Julie.
199
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,597
She's the only one that
knew I was up here.
200
00:09:29,603 --> 00:09:32,438
She was afraid
you might be hungry.
201
00:09:32,439 --> 00:09:35,442
Are you?
I haven't got a rifle.
202
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:37,619
Game's pretty scarce
on this mountain.
203
00:09:39,125 --> 00:09:40,125
Did you bring any food?
204
00:09:40,126 --> 00:09:42,253
Not a bite.
205
00:09:42,295 --> 00:09:43,516
I was afraid if I did,
I couldn't talk you
206
00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:44,957
into coming back with me.
207
00:09:44,958 --> 00:09:46,352
If you'd have gotten
the drop on me,
208
00:09:46,376 --> 00:09:47,687
there wouldn't
have been any talk.
209
00:09:47,711 --> 00:09:49,045
You'd have just taken me.
210
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:51,434
I don't think you believe that.
211
00:09:54,642 --> 00:09:56,227
I don't know what to believe.
212
00:09:58,971 --> 00:10:01,141
I don't even know
why I ran away.
213
00:10:02,475 --> 00:10:03,893
I just got panicky.
214
00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:06,151
That's natural enough.
215
00:10:07,819 --> 00:10:09,988
Everybody knew I hated him.
216
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:11,408
They'd swear I killed him.
217
00:10:11,450 --> 00:10:12,869
You mean you didn't?
218
00:10:14,712 --> 00:10:16,464
You, too, huh?
219
00:10:16,505 --> 00:10:18,090
You believe it, too.
220
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:19,967
I've been afraid to ask you.
221
00:10:20,015 --> 00:10:21,516
Well, I didn't.
222
00:10:24,109 --> 00:10:25,985
That's the first
good breath of air I've had
223
00:10:25,986 --> 00:10:27,821
in the last three days.
224
00:10:27,863 --> 00:10:31,992
I heard a shot,
ran into the livery.
225
00:10:32,034 --> 00:10:34,328
I seen Bollinger lying there,
226
00:10:34,363 --> 00:10:35,864
figure of somebody running out.
227
00:10:35,865 --> 00:10:38,368
I fired at it,
228
00:10:38,409 --> 00:10:40,346
then I went over to see
how bad Bollinger was hurt.
229
00:10:40,347 --> 00:10:43,182
That's when I found out
he was dead.
230
00:10:43,183 --> 00:10:45,836
Next thing I knew, the sheriff
came bustin' in with Mr. McClune.
231
00:10:45,837 --> 00:10:48,381
And you were standing there
with a gun in your hand.
232
00:10:48,423 --> 00:10:51,841
Yeah, I could see how it looked.
233
00:10:51,842 --> 00:10:54,094
I could see the way
the sheriff was staring at me.
234
00:10:55,508 --> 00:10:57,386
So I ran away.
235
00:10:57,428 --> 00:11:00,014
And now you're
coming back with me.
236
00:11:01,441 --> 00:11:03,902
To stand trial?
237
00:11:03,907 --> 00:11:05,700
We're gonna prove
you're innocent.
238
00:11:05,742 --> 00:11:07,911
Nobody will believe it.
239
00:11:07,953 --> 00:11:09,372
I believe it,
240
00:11:09,413 --> 00:11:10,790
and so does Julie.
241
00:11:10,831 --> 00:11:13,125
They'll still hang me.
242
00:11:13,167 --> 00:11:15,503
Not if we can find
the real killer,
243
00:11:15,544 --> 00:11:16,878
somebody who hated Bollinger
244
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:18,464
as much as you did.
245
00:11:18,503 --> 00:11:21,340
Half the people
in town hated him.
246
00:11:21,382 --> 00:11:23,092
He was a bully, a crook...
247
00:11:24,889 --> 00:11:27,724
even cheated McClune,
his own partner.
248
00:11:27,725 --> 00:11:30,228
Was McClune good to you?
249
00:11:30,312 --> 00:11:32,439
Always.
250
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,440
Tried to make Bollinger
lay off me.
251
00:11:34,441 --> 00:11:35,543
There's nothing he could do.
252
00:11:35,567 --> 00:11:36,860
Didn't even carry a gun.
253
00:11:36,902 --> 00:11:38,088
If you're gonna talk
to all the people
254
00:11:38,112 --> 00:11:39,738
that hated Vern Bollinger,
255
00:11:39,770 --> 00:11:41,939
they'll have to stand in a line,
256
00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:43,817
a long line.
257
00:11:43,818 --> 00:11:46,112
In that case, hadn't
we better get started?
258
00:11:47,738 --> 00:11:49,240
All right.
259
00:12:05,342 --> 00:12:07,260
You all right, boy?
260
00:12:07,261 --> 00:12:08,470
All right, drop it.
261
00:12:08,512 --> 00:12:10,848
You heard me, Hardie.
262
00:12:14,565 --> 00:12:15,692
Pierce.
263
00:12:15,733 --> 00:12:16,942
Just like I figured.
264
00:12:16,943 --> 00:12:18,236
I remembered this cave.
265
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:19,431
When the rest of them
headed back to town,
266
00:12:19,455 --> 00:12:20,788
I took a chance
and come up here.
267
00:12:20,789 --> 00:12:22,124
Good thing I did.
268
00:12:22,166 --> 00:12:24,293
We were just starting
back to town.
269
00:12:24,327 --> 00:12:25,412
He was bringing me in.
270
00:12:25,454 --> 00:12:27,415
That right?
271
00:12:27,457 --> 00:12:29,250
Then how come he's still
wearing his gun?
272
00:12:29,288 --> 00:12:30,873
Because I trust him.
273
00:12:30,914 --> 00:12:33,417
I don't trust either one of you.
274
00:12:33,459 --> 00:12:34,960
I can see how it is now.
275
00:12:35,013 --> 00:12:37,558
Wells Fargo
takes care of its own.
276
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,851
You were gonna spirit him out
of this part of the country.
277
00:12:39,875 --> 00:12:41,168
That's a lie.
278
00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:43,295
I'll let the sheriff
decide that.
279
00:12:43,337 --> 00:12:45,297
I'm taking you both in
as my prisoners.
280
00:12:45,303 --> 00:12:46,636
Tell me something.
281
00:12:46,637 --> 00:12:47,680
If you're a law officer,
282
00:12:47,722 --> 00:12:49,016
why'd you shoot first
283
00:12:49,070 --> 00:12:50,214
without even asking us
to surrender?
284
00:12:50,238 --> 00:12:52,490
I thought you'd spotted me.
285
00:12:52,491 --> 00:12:55,160
Shoot first and ask
questions later, huh, Pierce?
286
00:12:55,195 --> 00:12:56,529
That's like him.
287
00:12:56,571 --> 00:12:58,155
He ain't no real law officer.
288
00:12:58,156 --> 00:12:59,883
You only been a deputy
a couple of weeks now.
289
00:12:59,907 --> 00:13:01,824
Long enough to flush
a punk killer like you
290
00:13:01,825 --> 00:13:02,993
out of his hole.
291
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,348
JIM: Now, get up.
292
00:13:06,349 --> 00:13:07,558
Throw your gun away.
293
00:13:10,088 --> 00:13:11,925
You are new at this
business, aren't you?
294
00:13:13,301 --> 00:13:15,637
We're all going back
to town now.
295
00:13:22,849 --> 00:13:24,839
Trial will take place
tomorrow morning.
296
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,342
Isn't that a little soon?
297
00:13:26,383 --> 00:13:27,635
Can't be helped.
298
00:13:27,676 --> 00:13:28,988
The judge is leaving
right afterwards
299
00:13:29,012 --> 00:13:30,430
to go on circuit.
300
00:13:30,472 --> 00:13:32,307
But I need more time than that.
301
00:13:32,349 --> 00:13:34,852
Time for what,
to help him escape?
302
00:13:34,948 --> 00:13:36,157
You don't believe that story
303
00:13:36,199 --> 00:13:38,242
he told you, do you?
304
00:13:38,243 --> 00:13:40,030
If you had the kid under arrest,
305
00:13:40,031 --> 00:13:41,198
why didn't you take his gun?
306
00:13:41,199 --> 00:13:42,742
I explained that.
307
00:13:44,541 --> 00:13:46,352
Well, he's gonna be with us
for a little while now,
308
00:13:46,376 --> 00:13:47,460
and it doesn't matter to me
309
00:13:47,502 --> 00:13:49,629
one way or the other.
310
00:13:49,724 --> 00:13:50,891
Pierce could be wrong.
311
00:13:50,933 --> 00:13:52,268
He's a little
impetuous at times.
312
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:54,250
He's a little too impetuous.
313
00:13:54,251 --> 00:13:55,545
When the trial is over,
314
00:13:55,586 --> 00:13:58,046
you're gonna attend the hanging?
315
00:13:58,047 --> 00:13:59,757
You watch your tongue.
316
00:13:59,803 --> 00:14:02,055
He's innocent until
they prove him guilty.
317
00:14:03,768 --> 00:14:05,728
Do I need permission
to talk to the boy?
318
00:14:05,770 --> 00:14:07,606
No, it's all right.
319
00:14:21,855 --> 00:14:23,857
I heard what they're saying.
320
00:14:23,907 --> 00:14:25,051
You can't prove
anything between now
321
00:14:25,075 --> 00:14:27,494
and tomorrow morning.
322
00:14:27,536 --> 00:14:28,734
Things seemed to be stacking up
323
00:14:28,758 --> 00:14:30,386
against us, boy.
324
00:14:30,428 --> 00:14:32,262
What about a lawyer?
325
00:14:32,263 --> 00:14:34,056
There isn't any in town,
326
00:14:34,108 --> 00:14:35,776
except the prosecutor.
327
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:47,115
When I was about your age, Tad,
328
00:14:47,157 --> 00:14:50,118
I wanted to be a lawyer.
329
00:14:50,165 --> 00:14:51,584
Even went to Tulane University
330
00:14:51,626 --> 00:14:53,294
for a couple of years.
331
00:14:53,336 --> 00:14:54,879
After that, I worked
in a law office
332
00:14:54,922 --> 00:14:57,091
for a little while.
333
00:14:57,133 --> 00:14:58,444
I'm not trying to
tell you I'm a lawyer,
334
00:14:58,468 --> 00:15:00,470
'cause I'm not...
335
00:15:01,558 --> 00:15:03,644
but I'll be your lawyer.
336
00:15:03,645 --> 00:15:05,521
I'll do the best I can.
337
00:15:13,398 --> 00:15:15,026
JIM: The trial had begun,
338
00:15:15,084 --> 00:15:17,670
and the prosecutor was
questioning Sheriff Lyons.
339
00:15:19,954 --> 00:15:22,624
Sheriff, approximately how
long after hearing the two shots
340
00:15:22,666 --> 00:15:24,496
did you enter the stable?
341
00:15:24,497 --> 00:15:26,499
It was less than
a half a minute.
342
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:28,960
Could you describe what you saw?
343
00:15:28,997 --> 00:15:30,331
Tad Cameron was standing
344
00:15:30,332 --> 00:15:31,832
over the dead body
of Mr. Bollinger,
345
00:15:31,833 --> 00:15:33,835
holding the gun
he'd killed him with.
346
00:15:33,877 --> 00:15:36,004
I object to that, Your Honor.
347
00:15:36,046 --> 00:15:38,925
He's assuming what
we're here to find out.
348
00:15:38,962 --> 00:15:40,089
Sustained.
349
00:15:40,130 --> 00:15:44,093
Sheriff, I hand
you this revolver
350
00:15:44,131 --> 00:15:46,676
and ask whether you have
ever seen it before.
351
00:15:47,803 --> 00:15:49,346
Vern Bollinger's.
352
00:15:49,384 --> 00:15:52,344
I have kept it on my office
ever since the murder.
353
00:15:52,345 --> 00:15:55,765
'Bout the fanciest
shootin' iron in town.
354
00:15:55,804 --> 00:15:58,180
How did it come
into your possession?
355
00:15:58,181 --> 00:15:59,684
I found it near Vern's hand.
356
00:15:59,734 --> 00:16:01,193
One cartridge had been fired,
357
00:16:01,235 --> 00:16:03,863
and the gun was warm.
358
00:16:03,867 --> 00:16:05,327
The doctor has testified
359
00:16:05,369 --> 00:16:08,330
that the victim was a
strong and vigorous man,
360
00:16:08,372 --> 00:16:09,916
and that in his opinion,
361
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:12,575
Vern Bollinger might have been
able to have drawn, cocked,
362
00:16:12,576 --> 00:16:14,536
and fired this weapon
as a reflex action.
363
00:16:14,541 --> 00:16:16,459
Have you any comment on this?
364
00:16:16,501 --> 00:16:19,838
Well, such things
have happened before.
365
00:16:19,873 --> 00:16:21,501
Your witness.
366
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:28,388
Sheriff,
367
00:16:28,389 --> 00:16:30,933
as I understand it, you
didn't actually see the killing.
368
00:16:30,986 --> 00:16:32,447
I never said I did.
369
00:16:32,488 --> 00:16:33,990
Then you're in
no position to testify
370
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:35,911
which of the shots
were fired first,
371
00:16:35,912 --> 00:16:37,164
the one from Bollinger's gun
372
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:39,124
or the one from
Tad Cameron's gun.
373
00:16:39,142 --> 00:16:40,309
Are you trying to make out
374
00:16:40,351 --> 00:16:41,686
that Bollinger fired a shot
375
00:16:41,728 --> 00:16:43,188
and then obligingly
turned around
376
00:16:43,230 --> 00:16:45,023
so the kid could
shoot him the back?
377
00:16:45,071 --> 00:16:46,340
Your Honor,
I ask that the witness
378
00:16:46,364 --> 00:16:48,867
being instructed to
answer the question.
379
00:16:48,903 --> 00:16:51,405
So instructed.
380
00:16:51,406 --> 00:16:54,910
No, I didn't see
which gun was fired first.
381
00:16:54,959 --> 00:16:57,754
Thank you.
That'll be all.
382
00:16:59,931 --> 00:17:01,098
Now, Mr. McClune,
383
00:17:01,099 --> 00:17:02,350
I'd like to call your attention
384
00:17:02,392 --> 00:17:04,019
of the morning of June 18th,
385
00:17:04,050 --> 00:17:05,111
and an incident that occurred
386
00:17:05,135 --> 00:17:07,847
in the general store
here in town.
387
00:17:07,889 --> 00:17:10,099
In your presence and
that of other witnesses,
388
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:11,443
Vern Bollinger, your partner,
389
00:17:11,485 --> 00:17:14,404
is reported to have
addressed the defendant
390
00:17:14,437 --> 00:17:16,397
in these words...
391
00:17:16,439 --> 00:17:18,192
"Cameron,
you've got your growth,
392
00:17:18,233 --> 00:17:19,526
"but that don't make you a man.
393
00:17:19,569 --> 00:17:21,237
Don't try to act
like one."
394
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:22,697
And the defendant, answered,
395
00:17:22,739 --> 00:17:24,043
"Someday, I'm gonna
have to teach you
396
00:17:24,067 --> 00:17:26,403
to leave me alone."
397
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:27,696
Do you recall this?
398
00:17:27,738 --> 00:17:29,783
GEORGE: Well, yes,
399
00:17:29,807 --> 00:17:31,350
but I wouldn't want you to think
400
00:17:31,391 --> 00:17:33,727
the boy was threatening him.
401
00:17:33,769 --> 00:17:37,022
Vern was drunk and talking loud.
402
00:17:37,026 --> 00:17:39,237
Tad Cameron had already
taken more abuse
403
00:17:39,272 --> 00:17:40,398
than anyone should.
404
00:17:43,109 --> 00:17:46,196
I'm glad you said that,
Mr. McClune, and not me.
405
00:17:46,263 --> 00:17:47,598
For it clearly and emphatically
406
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,100
establishes motive.
407
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:52,322
Your witness.
No questions.
408
00:17:52,323 --> 00:17:54,534
Thank you, Mr. McClune.
That's all.
409
00:17:58,029 --> 00:17:59,318
Will Miss Julie Taylor,
410
00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:00,862
please take the stand?
411
00:18:11,498 --> 00:18:13,417
Raise your right hand.
412
00:18:13,459 --> 00:18:14,877
Do you swear to tell the truth,
413
00:18:14,933 --> 00:18:16,118
the whole truth and
nothing but the truth?
414
00:18:16,142 --> 00:18:18,311
I do.
Be seated.
415
00:18:19,852 --> 00:18:21,145
Miss Taylor, are you acquainted
416
00:18:21,186 --> 00:18:22,980
with the defendant?
417
00:18:23,022 --> 00:18:24,753
Yes, sir.
418
00:18:24,754 --> 00:18:25,964
Were you in town the morning
419
00:18:26,005 --> 00:18:28,674
that Vern Bollinger
was murdered?
420
00:18:28,675 --> 00:18:30,593
Yes, sir.
421
00:18:30,646 --> 00:18:32,606
Did you happen to
overhear a conversation
422
00:18:32,648 --> 00:18:34,358
between the victim
and the defendant,
423
00:18:34,366 --> 00:18:36,953
a conversation that
had to do with...
424
00:18:36,995 --> 00:18:38,288
you?
425
00:18:38,329 --> 00:18:40,123
No, I didn't.
426
00:18:40,162 --> 00:18:42,832
Did you know or learn later
anything about it?
427
00:18:42,874 --> 00:18:44,834
I object, Your Honor.
That's hearsay.
428
00:18:44,883 --> 00:18:46,050
It certainly is.
429
00:18:46,051 --> 00:18:47,177
Objection sustained.
430
00:18:47,219 --> 00:18:49,716
Well, Miss Taylor,
431
00:18:49,717 --> 00:18:53,345
after this conversation
to which I refer,
432
00:18:53,387 --> 00:18:55,048
you were seen in
the lobby of the hotel
433
00:18:55,049 --> 00:18:58,219
talking with Tad Cameron.
Yes, sir.
434
00:18:58,220 --> 00:18:59,249
And that was just a few minutes
435
00:18:59,273 --> 00:19:00,733
before the killing occurred.
436
00:19:00,774 --> 00:19:02,818
Now, how would you describe
Tad's appearance?
437
00:19:02,860 --> 00:19:04,987
Well, I... I don't know.
438
00:19:05,023 --> 00:19:06,357
He was wearing a gun.
439
00:19:06,399 --> 00:19:08,151
Was he excited or upset?
I don't know.
440
00:19:08,192 --> 00:19:09,593
What did he say
to you at that time?
441
00:19:12,417 --> 00:19:13,919
Answer the question.
442
00:19:15,833 --> 00:19:19,170
Well, he... he said,
443
00:19:19,179 --> 00:19:20,348
"I've had enough."
444
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:22,017
Enough? Enough what?
445
00:19:22,058 --> 00:19:23,560
Did he say he was
gonna gun him down?
446
00:19:23,602 --> 00:19:26,479
I object.
You leave her alone!
447
00:19:26,524 --> 00:19:27,733
The prosecutor's deliberately
448
00:19:27,734 --> 00:19:29,277
trying to lead the witness.
449
00:19:29,321 --> 00:19:32,450
Order.
Order in the court.
450
00:19:32,491 --> 00:19:34,827
The state rests, Your Honor.
451
00:19:34,871 --> 00:19:36,915
Court will recess for one hour.
452
00:19:43,592 --> 00:19:47,471
Guess I ruined everything
by yelling out like that.
453
00:19:47,516 --> 00:19:48,911
When he started talking
to Julie that way, I just...
454
00:19:48,935 --> 00:19:51,771
It's over and done with, boy.
455
00:19:51,775 --> 00:19:52,877
Better concentrate a little more
456
00:19:52,901 --> 00:19:55,237
on your defense.
457
00:19:55,291 --> 00:19:57,710
I haven't got any.
458
00:19:57,752 --> 00:20:01,714
I thought this thing
through a hundred times.
459
00:20:01,766 --> 00:20:03,559
There's still one thing
about the whole mess
460
00:20:03,601 --> 00:20:05,394
that doesn't make sense.
461
00:20:05,395 --> 00:20:08,105
Everyone agrees there's
only been two shots.
462
00:20:08,106 --> 00:20:09,413
Yet, if I'm to believe
your story,
463
00:20:09,437 --> 00:20:11,230
there had to be three.
464
00:20:11,272 --> 00:20:13,042
The one that killed Bollinger,
the one you fired,
465
00:20:13,066 --> 00:20:15,611
and the one that was fired
from Bollinger's own gun.
466
00:20:15,696 --> 00:20:17,488
That's three.
467
00:20:17,489 --> 00:20:19,157
He...
468
00:20:21,167 --> 00:20:22,377
His own gun.
469
00:20:24,709 --> 00:20:25,793
That's it!
470
00:20:25,835 --> 00:20:26,920
What?
471
00:20:26,962 --> 00:20:28,337
Pierce!
472
00:20:28,338 --> 00:20:30,924
Let me out of here.
Mr. Hardie, what is it?
473
00:20:30,988 --> 00:20:32,948
See you in court, boy.
474
00:20:32,990 --> 00:20:34,742
Why did you run, Tad?
475
00:20:36,506 --> 00:20:38,759
I ran away because
I was scared, Mr. Hardie.
476
00:20:40,841 --> 00:20:42,281
Scared of what's
happening right now.
477
00:20:43,844 --> 00:20:45,509
Thank you.
478
00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:46,720
Your witness.
479
00:20:46,761 --> 00:20:48,638
No questions.
480
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,988
All right, Tad,
you can step down.
481
00:20:50,012 --> 00:20:51,680
That's all.
482
00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:57,866
Your Honor, I'd like to
call as the next witness
483
00:20:57,890 --> 00:20:58,891
Howie Taylor.
484
00:21:00,723 --> 00:21:03,684
JUDGE: Order.
Order in the court.
485
00:21:03,726 --> 00:21:05,335
Howie Taylor in the courtroom?
486
00:21:05,336 --> 00:21:06,838
Here, Your Honor.
487
00:21:13,898 --> 00:21:15,859
Told you I'd be here, Hardie.
488
00:21:17,189 --> 00:21:18,524
Raise your right hand and...
489
00:21:18,566 --> 00:21:19,817
Folks know I tell the truth.
490
00:21:23,546 --> 00:21:25,506
Now, Mr. Taylor, you're
a gunsmith, I believe.
491
00:21:25,571 --> 00:21:27,072
You're blame-tootin'.
492
00:21:27,073 --> 00:21:28,866
The best in this part
of the country, too.
493
00:21:28,908 --> 00:21:30,060
You told me you were familiar
494
00:21:30,084 --> 00:21:31,751
with most of the guns
in this area,
495
00:21:31,752 --> 00:21:33,545
isn't that right?
496
00:21:33,587 --> 00:21:36,045
Well, I reckon I've had my
hands on most all of them,
497
00:21:36,046 --> 00:21:37,172
on and off.
498
00:21:37,213 --> 00:21:38,547
Mm-hmm.
499
00:21:38,548 --> 00:21:40,550
Do you recognize this gun?
500
00:21:40,597 --> 00:21:41,723
Well, naturally.
501
00:21:41,765 --> 00:21:43,183
Nobody but Vern Bollinger
502
00:21:43,224 --> 00:21:44,684
would carry around
a thing like that.
503
00:21:44,765 --> 00:21:46,559
Are you positive this is the one
504
00:21:46,601 --> 00:21:48,228
that Vern Bollinger carried?
505
00:21:48,269 --> 00:21:50,146
Would you examine it closer?
506
00:21:53,733 --> 00:21:55,109
Something the matter?
507
00:21:57,284 --> 00:21:58,285
For a fact.
508
00:21:58,327 --> 00:21:59,620
Why, this ain't the gun.
509
00:21:59,655 --> 00:22:02,075
It don't even feel the same.
510
00:22:03,659 --> 00:22:05,745
Besides, I put in
a new firing pin for Vern
511
00:22:05,788 --> 00:22:08,374
not over a month ago.
512
00:22:08,416 --> 00:22:09,918
But if this ain't Bollinger's,
513
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,459
I'd swear it could be
the mate to it.
514
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:13,712
That's just what it is,
Mr. Taylor.
515
00:22:13,754 --> 00:22:15,297
You yourself told me
that years ago
516
00:22:15,346 --> 00:22:17,974
Vern Bollinger fancied
himself as a two-gun man.
517
00:22:18,015 --> 00:22:19,267
That's right, he did.
518
00:22:19,268 --> 00:22:20,520
Never bragged about it, though.
519
00:22:20,561 --> 00:22:21,622
So that most people
wouldn't know
520
00:22:21,646 --> 00:22:22,915
that the gun
Vern Bollinger carried
521
00:22:22,939 --> 00:22:24,565
was one of a matched pair.
522
00:22:24,607 --> 00:22:26,901
But where's the other one?
523
00:22:26,943 --> 00:22:28,777
I don't know,
Mr. Taylor,
524
00:22:28,778 --> 00:22:31,240
but it shouldn't be
hard to find.
525
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:33,386
All we have to do
is look for a man
526
00:22:33,427 --> 00:22:35,596
who, first, knew
there was a second gun.
527
00:22:37,794 --> 00:22:38,979
One who could lay
his hands on it,
528
00:22:39,003 --> 00:22:41,799
somebody who was
close to Bollinger.
529
00:22:41,849 --> 00:22:43,142
Yeah.
530
00:22:43,184 --> 00:22:45,804
Somebody who didn't own,
531
00:22:45,805 --> 00:22:48,807
or carry, or even possess
a gun of his own,
532
00:22:48,808 --> 00:22:50,309
so that he had to use this one.
533
00:22:50,351 --> 00:22:52,688
I object on the ground
this is pure speculation.
534
00:22:52,729 --> 00:22:55,816
Very interesting speculation,
Mr. Prosecutor.
535
00:22:55,857 --> 00:22:57,817
You're overruled.
536
00:22:57,859 --> 00:22:59,485
Thank you, Your Honor.
537
00:22:59,529 --> 00:23:02,031
So then after he killed
Vern Bollinger,
538
00:23:02,073 --> 00:23:03,701
the murder became panicky.
539
00:23:03,742 --> 00:23:06,453
He grabbed up Bollinger's gun
and left this one,
540
00:23:06,498 --> 00:23:08,332
the mate.
541
00:23:08,333 --> 00:23:10,019
He didn't think that anyone
would ever know the difference,
542
00:23:10,043 --> 00:23:11,128
and he was almost right,
543
00:23:11,170 --> 00:23:13,172
because no one did until now.
544
00:23:14,752 --> 00:23:16,087
For the truth is
545
00:23:16,129 --> 00:23:18,298
that Bollinger
didn't fire at all.
546
00:23:18,339 --> 00:23:20,300
Both Sheriff Lyons and
George McClune
547
00:23:20,342 --> 00:23:22,970
have testified there were
only two shots fired.
548
00:23:23,012 --> 00:23:24,844
One shot killed Bollinger.
549
00:23:24,845 --> 00:23:26,931
The other was fired
by Tad Cameron
550
00:23:26,973 --> 00:23:29,976
as the murderer ran out
the livery stable,
551
00:23:30,014 --> 00:23:31,849
only to turn around
and walk right back in
552
00:23:31,891 --> 00:23:34,018
when Sheriff Lyons approached.
553
00:23:36,858 --> 00:23:39,152
Isn't that right,
Mr. McClune?
554
00:23:41,526 --> 00:23:43,861
You're guessing, Hardie,
555
00:23:43,862 --> 00:23:45,989
and you're way off, way off.
556
00:23:46,027 --> 00:23:47,988
You told me you never
carried a gun.
557
00:23:48,030 --> 00:23:49,698
But what's that bulge
under your coat?
558
00:23:49,742 --> 00:23:52,161
If it isn't a gun,
I'll apologize.
559
00:23:54,365 --> 00:23:56,117
Let me have it.
560
00:24:00,703 --> 00:24:02,537
You're not hangin' me.
561
00:24:02,538 --> 00:24:05,041
Not for killing the likes
of Vern Bollinger.
562
00:24:05,091 --> 00:24:07,301
He was cheating me,
cheating me blind.
563
00:24:07,343 --> 00:24:08,927
He had a killin' coming to him.
564
00:24:08,928 --> 00:24:10,639
I don't know how I stood
it as long as I did!
565
00:24:10,643 --> 00:24:13,687
Let me have the gun.
No!
566
00:24:13,729 --> 00:24:17,233
And I'll kill the man who
tries to stop me from leavin'.
567
00:24:22,157 --> 00:24:25,118
That's all, George.
568
00:24:25,170 --> 00:24:27,089
Lock him up.
569
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:33,973
Mr. Hardie,
570
00:24:34,015 --> 00:24:36,392
I want to apologize.
571
00:24:36,491 --> 00:24:38,994
You're an excellent
judge of character.
572
00:24:40,445 --> 00:24:42,572
Thank you, Sheriff Lyons.
573
00:24:42,614 --> 00:24:45,868
'Bout the best lawyer
a man ever had.
574
00:24:45,887 --> 00:24:48,556
How am I ever gonna thank you?
575
00:24:48,598 --> 00:24:51,059
You can thank me by going
back to work, boy.
576
00:24:51,096 --> 00:24:52,347
Doing a job I felt you could do
577
00:24:52,389 --> 00:24:54,099
when I hired you.
578
00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:56,352
I sure will.
579
00:25:01,777 --> 00:25:03,111
JUDGE: Order. Order!
580
00:25:03,112 --> 00:25:05,781
Case against Tad Cameron
is dismissed.
581
00:25:05,789 --> 00:25:07,791
The court is adjourned.
582
00:25:07,792 --> 00:25:09,502
JIM: The case was closed,
all right,
583
00:25:09,537 --> 00:25:11,455
but it looked like Julie
just opened another
584
00:25:11,497 --> 00:25:13,332
against the same defendant.40614
