1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:03,810
- Get against the truck!
2
00:00:03,811 --> 00:00:05,111
- I if you do
3
00:00:05,112 --> 00:00:06,556
you'll be deader than
that beef that's in the truck.
4
00:00:06,557 --> 00:00:07,701
- You couldn't hit the
side of a barn with that...
5
00:00:07,702 --> 00:00:08,667
- Ready.
6
00:00:08,668 --> 00:00:09,767
Come on.
7
00:00:09,768 --> 00:00:12,903
(gunfire popping)
8
00:00:12,904 --> 00:00:14,648
- I already bought a
load of beef from them
9
00:00:14,649 --> 00:00:16,026
and quite frankly
the price was right.
10
00:00:16,027 --> 00:00:17,638
- So right that it might
have been stolen?
11
00:00:17,639 --> 00:00:19,918
- So right that with these
people you don't ask questions.
12
00:00:19,919 --> 00:00:21,863
- You don't want to
cooperate with us do you?
13
00:00:21,864 --> 00:00:23,030
- Police officers.
14
00:00:23,031 --> 00:00:24,608
Get 'em up there
where I can see 'em.
15
00:00:24,609 --> 00:00:26,175
Come on let's go, get 'em up.
16
00:00:26,176 --> 00:00:27,409
(gunfire popping)
17
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:29,188
- Hey, no, it's okay,
we're not armed.
18
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:30,455
Hey come on.
19
00:00:30,456 --> 00:00:34,158

(suspenseful music)
22
00:02:23,115 --> 00:02:24,581
- Good evening Mr. Markham.
23
00:02:25,515 --> 00:02:26,947
You remember me don't you?
24
00:02:26,922 --> 00:02:28,688
- Thorne isn't it?
25
00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:29,648
- Yes sir.
26
00:02:30,376 --> 00:02:32,075
- How did you get in here?
27
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:34,039
- The back door was unlocked.
28
00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:35,357
- No it wasn't.
29
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:38,309
- There's no need
for us to argue Mr. M.
30
00:02:39,556 --> 00:02:40,556
It's just a visit.
31
00:02:41,924 --> 00:02:43,567
- If you've come to collect
you're wasting your time.
32
00:02:43,522 --> 00:02:45,723
I told your boss yesterday.
33
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:48,133
I can't even meet the
interest payment this month.
34
00:02:49,344 --> 00:02:51,512
- Business is lousy huh?
35
00:02:51,456 --> 00:02:53,689
- Terrible, take
a look at yourself.
36
00:02:54,686 --> 00:02:58,421
- No need to do that, I'm
the bearer of good news.
37
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,145
- I'm not borrowing
anymore money.
38
00:03:00,092 --> 00:03:01,658
Not from you people.
39
00:03:01,627 --> 00:03:03,294
- Who from then?
40
00:03:04,314 --> 00:03:05,981
Let me ask you a question.
41
00:03:06,841 --> 00:03:10,042
What's your most
expensive item after help?
42
00:03:09,944 --> 00:03:11,143
- Beef.
43
00:03:11,127 --> 00:03:14,996
- Figure 2,000, 3,000 pounds
of beef per month, right?
44
00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:16,202
- That's close enough, why?
45
00:03:16,181 --> 00:03:18,682
- I told you I had good news.
46
00:03:18,612 --> 00:03:21,280
We can arrange for you
to buy all the beef you want
47
00:03:21,203 --> 00:03:22,636
at one dollar a pound.
48
00:03:23,602 --> 00:03:26,437
- Come on man that's impossible.
49
00:03:26,353 --> 00:03:27,919
- Nothing's impossible.
50
00:03:27,889 --> 00:03:29,221
Think about it Mr. Markham.
51
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,879
- Where is this
beef coming from?
52
00:03:34,445 --> 00:03:35,878
- From my people, where else?
53
00:03:36,845 --> 00:03:41,314
We have many interests
Mr. M, you know that.
54
00:03:41,163 --> 00:03:44,332
- Well, it's a proposition
worth considering.
55
00:03:44,234 --> 00:03:45,567
I've got to admit that.
56
00:03:47,209 --> 00:03:49,909
- Good, you figure out
how much beef you can use
57
00:03:49,832 --> 00:03:51,065
and you give me a call.
58
00:03:51,047 --> 00:03:54,115
Figure three or four
days for delivery.
59
00:03:54,022 --> 00:03:55,022
Right Mr. M?
60
00:03:58,435 --> 00:03:59,902
Nice talkin' to you Mr. M.
61
00:04:20,987 --> 00:04:25,289
- Ellen, is the
Commissioner still awake?
62
00:04:25,144 --> 00:04:27,779
This is Al Markham, thank you.
63
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,112
- Stuart, I'm sorry to bother
you at home at this hour
64
00:04:35,029 --> 00:04:37,196
but this is important.
65
00:04:38,004 --> 00:04:40,871
I've just been offered
some stolen beef.
66
00:04:42,258 --> 00:04:44,258
Yes, I'm sure.
67
00:04:46,736 --> 00:04:48,036
Yes.
68
00:04:48,016 --> 00:04:49,293
Certainly, certainly it can wait
69
00:04:49,263 --> 00:04:50,663
until you get to your office.
70
00:04:51,727 --> 00:04:53,526
I'll see you then.
71
00:05:06,057 --> 00:05:08,657
- Hey look, Al Markham's
car is still in the parking lot.
72
00:05:08,583 --> 00:05:10,450
Come on, we better check it out.
73
00:05:10,406 --> 00:05:13,575
(suspenseful music)
74
00:05:46,904 --> 00:05:48,581
- Come on Pepper,
you've been in there before.
75
00:05:48,534 --> 00:05:52,536
- Too many times, but Al
Markham, one of the nicest people
76
00:05:52,406 --> 00:05:53,371
anybody could ever meet...
77
00:05:53,365 --> 00:05:54,564
- Yes he was.
78
00:05:54,548 --> 00:05:56,182
- Decent, honest it just...
79
00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:58,615
- Well as far as we know
he was honest, yeah.
80
00:05:58,548 --> 00:06:01,214
Pepper, that was
an execution in there.
81
00:06:01,138 --> 00:06:03,283
That was no hit and
run, that was no accident.
82
00:06:03,217 --> 00:06:06,852
- He's closed down twice
in the past three years.
83
00:06:06,735 --> 00:06:07,934
Everybody knows he,
84
00:06:07,918 --> 00:06:10,186
you know had heavy
financial problems,
85
00:06:10,126 --> 00:06:12,104
but don't you think he
might have tried to save it
86
00:06:12,045 --> 00:06:13,611
with a big loan?
87
00:06:13,580 --> 00:06:16,315
- He could have got mixed
up with a loan shark, sure.
88
00:06:16,236 --> 00:06:17,602
But I tell you something,
89
00:06:18,827 --> 00:06:20,493
Al had a lot of assets.
90
00:06:20,458 --> 00:06:22,892
I think they would have
made a strong effort to collect
91
00:06:22,825 --> 00:06:23,969
before they'd have killed him.
92
00:06:23,945 --> 00:06:25,388
I mean they just
don't work that way.
93
00:06:25,351 --> 00:06:27,385
No, there's more
to it than that.
94
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:31,398
- Yeah, it's gotta
be the stolen beef.
95
00:06:32,741 --> 00:06:36,977
- Well, you can interview
the Commissioner.
96
00:06:36,835 --> 00:06:38,135
And I want a verbatim report
97
00:06:38,115 --> 00:06:41,216
of the content of
Markham's telephone call.
98
00:06:41,122 --> 00:06:42,122
- Okay.
99
00:06:45,696 --> 00:06:49,631
- Couple of bank loans he
was making payments on.
100
00:06:49,503 --> 00:06:50,635
Lot of red ink.
101
00:06:51,805 --> 00:06:53,683
I tell you if he was
in debt to anyone else
102
00:06:53,629 --> 00:06:56,196
he sure didn't write
it down anyplace.
103
00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:57,089
What about you Pete,
104
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,217
did you find anything
in last year's stuff?
105
00:06:59,162 --> 00:07:00,506
- Well I don't need
to be an accountant
106
00:07:00,474 --> 00:07:01,740
to figure this one out.
107
00:07:01,721 --> 00:07:04,689
What comes in
here, goes out here.
108
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,468
- Well, this is interesting,
phone's not working.
109
00:07:08,951 --> 00:07:09,951
- Hi fellas.
110
00:07:11,478 --> 00:07:12,478
- Hi.
111
00:07:13,781 --> 00:07:16,682
- Ray, how are you.
112
00:07:16,595 --> 00:07:18,828
- Okay I guess.
113
00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:19,969
- I'm sorry about Al.
114
00:07:21,617 --> 00:07:24,685
- He was a good man, the best.
115
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:31,401
Took me right out of college
and gave me my first break.
116
00:07:31,277 --> 00:07:32,977
- How's his wife doing?
117
00:07:32,941 --> 00:07:35,407
- She's in pretty bad
shape, can't quite believe it,
118
00:07:35,340 --> 00:07:38,207
but she was not involved
in the business Bill.
119
00:07:38,122 --> 00:07:39,556
- I've already told Pepper
120
00:07:39,530 --> 00:07:41,975
that if Al had any mob connections
I didn't know about them.
121
00:07:41,897 --> 00:07:43,275
- I've been going
through those books Ray,
122
00:07:43,241 --> 00:07:44,706
business wasn't good.
123
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,680
- Don't I know.
124
00:07:47,398 --> 00:07:48,764
Had to lay people off,
125
00:07:48,742 --> 00:07:50,020
close a few of the
restaurants for lunch,
126
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:51,389
things like that.
127
00:07:51,364 --> 00:07:55,934
But we'd had bad times
before, always come through.
128
00:07:55,779 --> 00:07:57,412
- Whose gonna be in charge, you?
129
00:07:57,378 --> 00:07:59,746
- Mrs. Markham
asked me to take over,
130
00:07:59,682 --> 00:08:02,015
for the time being at least.
131
00:08:01,953 --> 00:08:03,219
I'll do the best I can.
132
00:08:05,248 --> 00:08:09,049
Look if there's nothing
else I've got quite a lot to do.
133
00:08:08,926 --> 00:08:11,193
Funeral arrangements,
telephoning relatives.
134
00:08:11,133 --> 00:08:13,178
- Sure go ahead, listen,
if we got any questions
135
00:08:13,116 --> 00:08:14,927
we'll get in touch,
we'll phone you.
136
00:08:14,875 --> 00:08:15,875
- I want you to.
137
00:08:17,434 --> 00:08:18,434
I,
138
00:08:20,570 --> 00:08:21,570
I'll be in touch.
139
00:08:22,552 --> 00:08:23,552
- Thanks Ray.
140
00:08:24,727 --> 00:08:25,727
Nothing?
141
00:08:26,486 --> 00:08:27,719
- Not yet,
142
00:08:27,702 --> 00:08:28,934
- [Jim] Look at this.
143
00:08:30,708 --> 00:08:32,708
- What do you got Jim?
144
00:08:33,972 --> 00:08:38,041
- Wire got hooked over the
cradle, wouldn't release it.
145
00:08:37,906 --> 00:08:38,906
- Bug?
146
00:08:40,304 --> 00:08:43,239
- Yeah, this wouldn't
be the work of the feds,
147
00:08:43,152 --> 00:08:44,284
they'd use a lease line.
148
00:08:45,358 --> 00:08:48,426
No, this looks more like
something a private investigator
149
00:08:48,333 --> 00:08:49,266
would do.
150
00:08:49,261 --> 00:08:51,005
- Yeah, but who
would have hired him?
151
00:08:50,956 --> 00:08:52,901
- Well whoever was
monitoring this thing,
152
00:08:52,844 --> 00:08:55,712
sure knew about the phone
call to the Commissioner.
153
00:08:57,482 --> 00:08:58,714
- Slide it over.
154
00:08:58,697 --> 00:08:59,563
- Hey.
155
00:08:59,561 --> 00:09:02,662
- I see you all met
with huge success.
156
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:03,745
- Hi Pepper, how about a beer?
157
00:09:03,719 --> 00:09:05,052
- Yeah, thanks.
158
00:09:05,031 --> 00:09:06,031
- I tell you,
159
00:09:06,694 --> 00:09:08,094
whoever backed Markham's loan's
160
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:10,070
playing it very
close to the chest.
161
00:09:10,021 --> 00:09:11,220
We talked to Little Jimmy,
162
00:09:11,204 --> 00:09:13,349
now Jimmy knows every
loan shark in this town,
163
00:09:13,283 --> 00:09:15,016
not a work about Markham.
164
00:09:14,979 --> 00:09:16,557
- Well, maybe
that's not the answer.
165
00:09:16,515 --> 00:09:17,947
- No, it's the answer.
166
00:09:17,921 --> 00:09:19,466
We just haven't come up
with the right combination.
167
00:09:19,425 --> 00:09:21,292
- Here, I'll take it, thank you.
168
00:09:21,248 --> 00:09:22,780
- What about beef?
169
00:09:22,752 --> 00:09:24,852
Isn't that what part
of this is all about?
170
00:09:24,798 --> 00:09:26,365
- I checked through RNI.
171
00:09:26,334 --> 00:09:28,768
Locally there hasn't
been a theft or hijacking
172
00:09:28,702 --> 00:09:30,001
in the last three months.
173
00:09:29,981 --> 00:09:31,993
- And Bill checked with CII
and he came up with something
174
00:09:31,933 --> 00:09:33,398
pretty interesting.
175
00:09:33,371 --> 00:09:34,336
- Strangely enough
176
00:09:34,331 --> 00:09:35,675
there's been an
upsurge in cattle rustling.
177
00:09:35,642 --> 00:09:37,319
Especially in
central California.
178
00:09:37,273 --> 00:09:38,139
- Really?
179
00:09:38,137 --> 00:09:39,170
- Yeah.
180
00:09:39,161 --> 00:09:41,895
Anybody here know
anything about cattle rustling?
181
00:09:41,815 --> 00:09:43,582
- You're not gonna believe this.
182
00:09:44,854 --> 00:09:45,854
- You're kiddin'.
183
00:09:46,773 --> 00:09:47,773
- Back in Montana?
184
00:09:47,766 --> 00:09:48,766
- No Wyoming.
185
00:09:49,813 --> 00:09:51,279
You rustled cattle, right?
186
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:54,345
- I can at least tell you
how it was when I was a kid.
187
00:09:54,290 --> 00:09:57,391
- Yeah but it's gotta be a
little bit different now Pep.
188
00:09:57,297 --> 00:09:58,763
- Just a little.
189
00:09:58,737 --> 00:10:00,777
- Well it is, Wyoming
became a state.
190
00:10:02,095 --> 00:10:03,161
- Thanks a lot.
191
00:10:03,151 --> 00:10:04,929
- No, I understand today
that they rustle, slaughter,
192
00:10:04,878 --> 00:10:07,445
dress and package
all in 24 hours.
193
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:09,006
- I do know somebody.
194
00:10:08,973 --> 00:10:11,940
Yeah, an old hand
in the cattle business.
195
00:10:11,852 --> 00:10:12,985
Yeah, he'd know.
196
00:10:12,971 --> 00:10:14,437
I could drive up tonight.
197
00:10:15,178 --> 00:10:16,677
- Why don't you.
198
00:10:30,117 --> 00:10:30,948
- Hey Pepper honey...
199
00:10:30,948 --> 00:10:31,680
- Uncle Ben!
200
00:10:31,683 --> 00:10:33,417
- How are you baby, how are ya?
201
00:10:33,379 --> 00:10:34,178
- Uncle Ben.
202
00:10:34,179 --> 00:10:36,246
Great just great.
203
00:10:36,194 --> 00:10:37,660
It's so good to see you.
204
00:10:37,633 --> 00:10:39,233
It's so good, oh.
205
00:10:39,201 --> 00:10:41,534
- Look at there,
isn't she beautiful.
206
00:10:41,471 --> 00:10:43,349
They tell you that
down that wicked city?
207
00:10:43,294 --> 00:10:44,727
- Only the wicked ones like you.
208
00:10:44,703 --> 00:10:46,002
- I'll bet...
209
00:10:45,982 --> 00:10:47,114
- How's Aunt Helen?
210
00:10:47,101 --> 00:10:49,234
I sensed on the phone
she wasn't too good.
211
00:10:49,181 --> 00:10:51,748
- No, she's not too
bad, not too bad.
212
00:10:51,676 --> 00:10:52,908
She's just dying to see you.
213
00:10:52,890 --> 00:10:54,801
She's been on pins and
needles since you phoned.
214
00:10:54,745 --> 00:10:56,645
Oh and watch the tiles now,
215
00:10:56,601 --> 00:10:58,612
we're trying to fix
this old barn up.
216
00:10:58,552 --> 00:11:01,320
We're not gettin' any help
from the landlord you know
217
00:11:01,239 --> 00:11:03,439
so really watch
yourself now, okay.
218
00:11:03,382 --> 00:11:05,127
And I'll come back
and get your bags later
219
00:11:05,078 --> 00:11:06,878
now watch your step.
220
00:11:06,837 --> 00:11:08,170
- [Pepper] Okay, you look great.
221
00:11:08,148 --> 00:11:09,381
- [Ben] Yeah I feel good.
222
00:11:12,563 --> 00:11:15,731
- Oh Uncle Ben, it's charming.
223
00:11:15,634 --> 00:11:17,646
- Well you can thank
your Aunt Helen for that.
224
00:11:17,585 --> 00:11:19,384
- Oh it's just...
225
00:11:19,344 --> 00:11:20,143
- Pepper!
226
00:11:20,144 --> 00:11:20,942
- Aunt Helen.
227
00:11:20,943 --> 00:11:22,676
- Dear Pepper.
228
00:11:22,638 --> 00:11:24,538
It was so sweet of you to come.
229
00:11:24,493 --> 00:11:26,928
- You look wonderful, beautiful.
230
00:11:26,861 --> 00:11:30,429
- Now you two have a
nice visit, I'll go get your bag.
231
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:33,216
- Now you stop that nonsense
about me lookin' so wonderful.
232
00:11:33,130 --> 00:11:35,130
I look awful and you know it,
233
00:11:35,082 --> 00:11:38,450
but I feel better than
I look thank goodness
234
00:11:38,345 --> 00:11:39,677
and that's somethin'.
235
00:11:40,967 --> 00:11:41,967
- You know,
236
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:44,897
I don't believe what I smell.
237
00:11:44,838 --> 00:11:46,704
- You better believe.
238
00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:47,493
- Where is it?
239
00:11:47,492 --> 00:11:49,570
- In the kitchen cooling
on the cupboard.
240
00:11:49,507 --> 00:11:50,640
- Oh Helen.
241
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:52,961
- The bluest and the juiciest.
242
00:11:52,898 --> 00:11:55,232
I remember a little
girl once in Wyoming
243
00:11:55,169 --> 00:11:56,836
who used to eat blueberry pies
244
00:11:56,801 --> 00:11:59,969
til' she got the worst
tummy ache imaginable.
245
00:11:59,871 --> 00:12:01,371
- They were worth it.
246
00:12:01,343 --> 00:12:03,009
Oh Helen.
247
00:12:02,974 --> 00:12:05,909
(suspenseful music)
248
00:12:08,380 --> 00:12:11,147
(chain rattling)
249
00:12:11,067 --> 00:12:14,235
(suspenseful music)
250
00:12:39,727 --> 00:12:42,061
- Wait a minute
wait a minute Ray.
251
00:12:41,998 --> 00:12:46,701
A toast to our new and
profitable association.
252
00:12:46,540 --> 00:12:47,840
- I'll drink to that.
253
00:12:47,820 --> 00:12:49,520
- I'll drink to anything.
254
00:12:49,483 --> 00:12:50,660
- Well Ray since you're here
255
00:12:50,635 --> 00:12:53,169
I assume you're
interested in my proposition.
256
00:12:53,098 --> 00:12:55,764
- That correct Mr. Galloway.
257
00:12:55,689 --> 00:12:56,588
- Willie.
258
00:12:56,584 --> 00:12:57,584
Sit down.
259
00:12:58,344 --> 00:12:59,344
- Willie.
260
00:13:00,199 --> 00:13:02,319
- Well, how many
thousand pounds to start?
261
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:06,484
- Two.
262
00:13:06,468 --> 00:13:08,201
- That's not even a dozen head.
263
00:13:09,059 --> 00:13:10,059
I'd suggest three.
264
00:13:14,465 --> 00:13:17,533
- Okay, 3,000 pounds
265
00:13:21,726 --> 00:13:22,726
dressed.
266
00:13:25,085 --> 00:13:26,451
Where do I sign?
267
00:13:26,428 --> 00:13:28,628
- Ah your handshake's
good enough for me.
268
00:13:28,571 --> 00:13:29,770
I'll be in touch.
269
00:13:31,290 --> 00:13:34,324
- It's a pleasure doing
business with you Mister, uh
270
00:13:34,233 --> 00:13:35,233
Willie.
271
00:13:37,015 --> 00:13:38,081
Goodnight.
272
00:13:38,072 --> 00:13:39,072
- Goodnight.
273
00:13:40,343 --> 00:13:42,743
Monk, take Mr. Roberts
back to his restaurant huh.
274
00:13:51,635 --> 00:13:54,268
(phone ringing)
275
00:14:07,755 --> 00:14:09,455
- Yeah.
276
00:14:09,419 --> 00:14:10,419
Oh yeah Galloway.
277
00:14:12,489 --> 00:14:14,389
Yeah 17, 18 head.
278
00:14:15,176 --> 00:14:16,308
Yeah you got it.
279
00:14:16,296 --> 00:14:19,263
(suspenseful music)
280
00:14:36,415 --> 00:14:38,116
Say you know Pepper,
281
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:40,980
you rode that horse real
good for a police sergeant.
282
00:14:40,894 --> 00:14:42,827
- Well look who taught me.
283
00:14:42,781 --> 00:14:44,280
- Well that's true enough.
284
00:14:44,252 --> 00:14:45,730
You were such
funny little thing,
285
00:14:45,692 --> 00:14:50,662
all skin and bones
and eyes, and stubborn.
286
00:14:50,490 --> 00:14:52,723
- Determination Uncle Ben.
287
00:14:52,665 --> 00:14:55,399
- Well I guess that's the
word for it out of the book.
288
00:14:55,321 --> 00:14:58,355
You'd fall off five or six times
climb right back on again,
289
00:14:58,263 --> 00:15:03,399
tears streaming down
your eyes, and cussin'.
290
00:15:04,308 --> 00:15:05,419
Never heard a little
girl with words like that.
291
00:15:05,396 --> 00:15:06,829
Wonder where you learned em'.
292
00:15:06,803 --> 00:15:10,572
- Well I could tell you that
too if you really want to know.
293
00:15:10,450 --> 00:15:12,016
- Well I'm sorry I asked.
294
00:15:11,985 --> 00:15:12,985
- Yeah.
295
00:15:13,712 --> 00:15:16,346
- But you know, it
was real fun today
296
00:15:16,272 --> 00:15:17,771
just ridin' for the hell of it.
297
00:15:19,022 --> 00:15:20,199
Haven't done
that in a long time.
298
00:15:20,174 --> 00:15:22,975
You know ridin'
alone isn't much fun.
299
00:15:22,893 --> 00:15:24,793
- How sick is Aunt Helen?
300
00:15:24,748 --> 00:15:26,081
She looks so pale.
301
00:15:26,060 --> 00:15:28,861
At dinner she only said
that she had this kidney thing.
302
00:15:28,778 --> 00:15:30,310
- Well now you know
303
00:15:30,282 --> 00:15:33,216
she'd raise the roof if she
knew I was talkin' about it,
304
00:15:33,128 --> 00:15:35,363
but I gotta tell
somebody Pepper.
305
00:15:35,304 --> 00:15:37,904
You know when she
lost that kidney last year?
306
00:15:37,830 --> 00:15:39,808
Well the one she's got
left ain't workin' so good
307
00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:42,317
and I gotta take her down
the hospital once a week.
308
00:15:42,245 --> 00:15:44,045
They put her on that machine.
309
00:15:44,005 --> 00:15:45,005
- Dialysis?
310
00:15:44,996 --> 00:15:46,963
- Yeah, yeah that's it.
311
00:15:46,915 --> 00:15:48,915
- That's expensive.
312
00:15:48,866 --> 00:15:51,400
- Yeah you know we don't
have any insurance to speak of
313
00:15:51,329 --> 00:15:55,632
so I sold that spread we had
in Nevada and we moved here
314
00:15:55,487 --> 00:15:57,565
and there's a little
work here and there
315
00:15:57,502 --> 00:15:58,835
for an old cowhand.
316
00:15:58,814 --> 00:16:01,782
So between that and the
money from the place we get by.
317
00:16:03,324 --> 00:16:05,558
Now don't you look so sad eyed.
318
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:09,302
Glad to get it off my
chest, I feel better.
319
00:16:09,178 --> 00:16:11,312
Now tell me about
you, about your life.
320
00:16:11,257 --> 00:16:12,489
I mean what's happenin'?
321
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:14,973
- Well I'm still single if
that's what you're wondering.
322
00:16:14,904 --> 00:16:16,737
- That's what I mean now look,
323
00:16:16,695 --> 00:16:18,473
I promised you a
little shootin' right?
324
00:16:18,422 --> 00:16:19,455
- Yeah.
325
00:16:19,446 --> 00:16:20,923
- You're gonna
have a little shootin.
326
00:16:20,885 --> 00:16:22,396
I mean after that boast
you were doing last night
327
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:25,056
about being in the top 20
of the police department.
328
00:16:24,979 --> 00:16:28,181
- It wasn't boasting,
it's just a fact.
329
00:16:28,082 --> 00:16:29,214
- Oh I see.
330
00:16:29,202 --> 00:16:32,269
- Well, what will it
be, cans or bottles?
331
00:16:32,177 --> 00:16:33,409
- Eh, bottles.
332
00:16:35,567 --> 00:16:37,534
- Hey what are you call that?
333
00:16:37,486 --> 00:16:38,697
You didn't learn that from me,
334
00:16:38,670 --> 00:16:40,247
you couldn't hit side
of a barn with that...
335
00:16:40,205 --> 00:16:41,138
- Come, come, ready.
336
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:41,999
Come on.
337
00:16:41,996 --> 00:16:44,797
(gunfire popping)
338
00:16:55,814 --> 00:16:57,982
- Maybe I ought
to try that, huh?
339
00:16:57,926 --> 00:16:59,793
- No, no here let me show you.
340
00:16:59,750 --> 00:17:01,470
- What you...
- Oh come on.
341
00:17:05,955 --> 00:17:06,955
Hey.
342
00:17:12,608 --> 00:17:13,608
- That was great.
343
00:17:20,093 --> 00:17:25,263
Uncle Ben, with Helen
feeling like she was,
344
00:17:26,202 --> 00:17:27,546
I didn't want to sit around
talking about rustling
345
00:17:27,514 --> 00:17:32,150
at dinner, but I need your help,
346
00:17:31,992 --> 00:17:33,592
mainly your expertise.
347
00:17:34,327 --> 00:17:36,561
- Sure Pepper but why?
348
00:17:36,502 --> 00:17:38,502
- Well I'm working
on a case right now
349
00:17:38,454 --> 00:17:41,188
and our only
lead is stolen beef.
350
00:17:41,109 --> 00:17:42,875
Now the crime reports indicate
351
00:17:42,835 --> 00:17:45,503
that it's probably
cattle rustling.
352
00:17:45,426 --> 00:17:48,727
How would a person go
about moving stolen cattle
353
00:17:48,625 --> 00:17:50,825
these days and not get caught?
354
00:17:52,239 --> 00:17:53,973
- Well now it seems to me
355
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:57,452
a fella would find a real
big spread you know,
356
00:17:57,390 --> 00:18:00,724
someplace where they
run 20, 25,000 head.
357
00:18:00,621 --> 00:18:03,988
That way a couple dozen
wouldn't be missed right away.
358
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,282
- Um humph.
359
00:18:05,259 --> 00:18:07,137
Well then where
would he go with them?
360
00:18:07,082 --> 00:18:09,026
You can't drive
a bunch of cattle
361
00:18:08,969 --> 00:18:11,904
down the middle of the
highway, broad daylight
362
00:18:11,816 --> 00:18:13,315
or at night for that matter?
363
00:18:13,287 --> 00:18:16,055
- Oh no, well I heard tell
a couple of different ways.
364
00:18:15,975 --> 00:18:20,477
One way is you put a
couple a head in a padded van
365
00:18:20,325 --> 00:18:23,859
and you drive it to a
secret slaughterhouse,
366
00:18:23,746 --> 00:18:25,079
you dress the meat out.
367
00:18:25,058 --> 00:18:28,594
You get rid of the hides right
away cause of the brands.
368
00:18:28,481 --> 00:18:31,548
Then you transfer the
meat to a refrigerator truck.
369
00:18:31,456 --> 00:18:32,456
That's about it.
370
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,119
- Sure.
371
00:18:34,942 --> 00:18:35,942
Of course.
372
00:18:36,862 --> 00:18:38,028
It's very simple,
373
00:18:38,013 --> 00:18:40,714
the meat goes to a
packing house in some city.
374
00:18:40,636 --> 00:18:41,636
- I reckon'.
375
00:18:42,268 --> 00:18:43,467
What do you then?
376
00:18:43,451 --> 00:18:47,285
- You sell it to whoever
uses a lot of beef.
377
00:18:47,161 --> 00:18:49,039
Like a chain of
restaurants for instance
378
00:18:48,985 --> 00:18:50,318
or a lot of markets.
379
00:18:50,967 --> 00:18:52,200
- Is that it?
380
00:18:53,431 --> 00:18:57,333
Course that would be kind of
a hard operation to track down,
381
00:18:57,205 --> 00:19:01,674
with all those beef packing
house you got down in your city.
382
00:19:01,523 --> 00:19:03,023
- It's a starting point though.
383
00:19:06,033 --> 00:19:09,668
- Well, it's gettin'
on to about three.
384
00:19:12,111 --> 00:19:14,578
Gotta put those horses
away and get up to the house.
385
00:19:14,511 --> 00:19:17,078
I gotta take Helen down
the hospital this afternoon.
386
00:19:17,005 --> 00:19:18,805
- Yeah, I best be gettin' too.
387
00:19:19,724 --> 00:19:21,602
- You be comin' back
real soon now you hear.
388
00:19:21,547 --> 00:19:22,913
- First chance I get.
389
00:19:22,891 --> 00:19:23,956
Really.
390
00:19:23,947 --> 00:19:27,682
- Sure love to see and I
want to meet this Crowley
391
00:19:27,561 --> 00:19:28,794
you keep talkin' about.
392
00:19:28,776 --> 00:19:29,875
- You'll like him.
393
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:35,824
(cows mooing)
394
00:19:46,114 --> 00:19:47,947
- Get up there, hey!
395
00:19:47,904 --> 00:19:50,171
(whistling)
396
00:19:54,590 --> 00:19:57,023
- Come on get,
get in that truck.
397
00:19:56,957 --> 00:19:59,190
(whistling)
398
00:19:59,132 --> 00:20:01,266
- [Cowboy] Come on cows.
399
00:20:08,984 --> 00:20:12,085
Hey, hey, hey cattle.
400
00:20:11,991 --> 00:20:12,991
Hey cattle.
401
00:20:18,932 --> 00:20:20,332
Come on get up.
402
00:20:29,775 --> 00:20:31,475
- Hold it Maxwell.
403
00:20:31,439 --> 00:20:32,750
- The hell's a matter
with you Fletcher?
404
00:20:32,718 --> 00:20:33,895
How do you know
he didn't see us?
405
00:20:33,870 --> 00:20:36,004
- He didn't even turn his head.
406
00:20:35,949 --> 00:20:40,051
- Listen, I know my
job and I'm gonna do it.
407
00:20:39,916 --> 00:20:41,549
- You don't have a job.
408
00:20:41,515 --> 00:20:43,348
Not with me.
409
00:20:43,307 --> 00:20:44,307
Not ever.
410
00:20:45,801 --> 00:20:48,302
Here's your money, get lost.
411
00:20:54,469 --> 00:20:57,103
(ominous music)
412
00:21:14,333 --> 00:21:17,034
(engine revving)
413
00:21:18,012 --> 00:21:20,646
(ominous music)
414
00:21:54,477 --> 00:21:55,610
- And that's it.
415
00:21:55,597 --> 00:21:57,508
The meat packer's the middle
man and he sells the beef
416
00:21:57,452 --> 00:21:59,919
to whoever wants to
buy it, cut rate of course.
417
00:21:59,850 --> 00:22:02,251
Doesn't even have to be
a packer, probably isn't.
418
00:22:02,186 --> 00:22:06,654
All he has to have is a packing
house to store the meat in.
419
00:22:06,504 --> 00:22:07,504
Interesting.
420
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,593
- Yeah, interesting.
421
00:22:09,575 --> 00:22:11,375
- Yeah, where do I start?
422
00:22:11,334 --> 00:22:14,469
The California Cattleman's
Association sent me ten pages
423
00:22:14,373 --> 00:22:16,574
of wholesale meat distributors.
424
00:22:16,516 --> 00:22:19,083
- Why don't you start
at the top of page one.
425
00:22:20,227 --> 00:22:21,227
Here Joe catch.
426
00:22:22,305 --> 00:22:25,507
You found it, now what I want
to know is who manufactured it
427
00:22:25,409 --> 00:22:26,841
and who purchased it.
428
00:22:26,816 --> 00:22:28,627
- Yeah well that
sounds like a lot of fun.
429
00:22:28,575 --> 00:22:30,808
You know there's no
name brand on this thing.
430
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:33,251
- That's why you're gonna
take it down to the sound lab
431
00:22:33,181 --> 00:22:34,547
and they're gonna dismantle it
432
00:22:34,524 --> 00:22:37,092
and then they're gonna tell
ya who made manufactured it.
433
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:38,386
- Yeah, okay.
434
00:22:38,363 --> 00:22:40,308
Alright little fella, let's
go look into your past life
435
00:22:40,250 --> 00:22:41,427
see what we can come up with.
436
00:22:41,402 --> 00:22:43,869
- Well at the risk of
getting a bonus here
437
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,944
I'm gonna check this list
438
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,431
and see if anything's
changed hands.
439
00:22:46,392 --> 00:22:49,059
(cows mooing)
440
00:22:49,718 --> 00:22:52,853
(suspenseful music)
441
00:23:13,677 --> 00:23:17,245
- Uncle Ben said that rustlers
442
00:23:17,132 --> 00:23:19,532
would probably hit
the large ranches
443
00:23:19,466 --> 00:23:22,300
where a few missing head
of cattle wouldn't be noticed
444
00:23:22,217 --> 00:23:23,217
but I don't know.
445
00:23:23,881 --> 00:23:25,247
- What are you talkin' about?
446
00:23:25,224 --> 00:23:28,125
- Well with the price
of beef what it is,
447
00:23:28,038 --> 00:23:30,740
I think most ranchers would
know exactly how many steers
448
00:23:30,662 --> 00:23:32,061
they had.
449
00:23:32,037 --> 00:23:35,005
- Sure, they probably go out
and count em' every few days.
450
00:23:34,916 --> 00:23:37,650
Who do you report it to if
you come up short of steers?
451
00:23:37,571 --> 00:23:38,736
- I'll call CII
452
00:23:38,722 --> 00:23:41,456
and have em' check out
Bakersfield and Fresno.
453
00:23:44,607 --> 00:23:46,541
- Yeah, why don't you do that.
454
00:23:46,495 --> 00:23:48,596
Soon as you make
a fresh pot of coffee.
455
00:23:49,471 --> 00:23:51,591
- Why do I always
have to make the coffee?
456
00:23:52,669 --> 00:23:53,935
- Because you're here.
457
00:23:56,826 --> 00:23:59,894
(suspenseful music)
458
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,775
(bandsaws whirring)
459
00:24:14,388 --> 00:24:15,120
- Thank you Willie.
460
00:24:15,123 --> 00:24:16,757
- It's a pleasure Ben.
461
00:24:16,723 --> 00:24:18,323
You and your men do nice work.
462
00:24:23,312 --> 00:24:26,147
So you canned
Ollie Maxwell, huh?
463
00:24:26,063 --> 00:24:28,630
- He thinks he's Billy the Kid.
464
00:24:28,558 --> 00:24:30,425
- So you made an enemy.
465
00:24:30,381 --> 00:24:31,748
Better watch your back.
466
00:24:33,292 --> 00:24:35,359
- Hey now that's real smooth.
467
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:37,074
How about another little dollop.
468
00:24:38,218 --> 00:24:39,384
- Sure.
469
00:24:39,370 --> 00:24:40,469
How's the missus?
470
00:24:40,457 --> 00:24:42,590
- Oh she's fine, she's fine.
471
00:24:42,537 --> 00:24:44,169
This is gonna help.
472
00:24:44,136 --> 00:24:47,204
- Yeah well, we got a real
good customer now Ben.
473
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:49,745
I'll need another shipment
from you in a week or ten days
474
00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:52,570
and after that more,
probably on a regular basis.
475
00:24:52,484 --> 00:24:54,118
How's that sound to you?
476
00:24:54,084 --> 00:24:54,916
- Anything you say.
477
00:24:54,916 --> 00:24:56,015
Can I use your phone?
478
00:24:56,003 --> 00:24:56,935
- Sure, go ahead.
479
00:24:56,931 --> 00:24:58,530
You want a little head on it?
480
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:00,130
- No thanks.
481
00:25:00,097 --> 00:25:05,266
You know, as long as I'm in
town, invite somebody to dinner.
482
00:25:12,060 --> 00:25:15,695
Yeah hello, I'd like to speak
to Pepper Anderson please.
483
00:25:17,338 --> 00:25:19,806
That's alright, I'll wait.
484
00:25:21,144 --> 00:25:23,222
- Hey, how much
longer is this gonna take?
485
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,426
- It's gonna take a while.
486
00:25:24,407 --> 00:25:27,008
Look, 3,000 pounds
is a lot of meat.
487
00:25:26,934 --> 00:25:27,834
Just relax Roberts.
488
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:28,995
- Yeah I'm tryin' to
489
00:25:28,981 --> 00:25:30,158
but there's still a
couple cops in the place.
490
00:25:30,133 --> 00:25:31,133
- Cops?
491
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:33,133
- Yeah don't worry
they're friends of mine,
492
00:25:33,108 --> 00:25:34,607
they come here all the time.
493
00:25:39,985 --> 00:25:41,163
- Well you can say what you want
494
00:25:41,137 --> 00:25:42,914
about elephant
havin' the best memory
495
00:25:42,864 --> 00:25:44,530
but don't compare with a bronc.
496
00:25:46,126 --> 00:25:49,227
Hard Nosed he was
called, and rightly so.
497
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:53,035
He knew me, that's a fact,
and he hated me, whew.
498
00:25:54,635 --> 00:25:57,303
First time I was up
rode him right to a stop.
499
00:25:57,226 --> 00:25:59,186
Nobody had ever
done that before.
500
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:02,326
I think I hurt his pride.
501
00:26:04,008 --> 00:26:06,474
So everywhere after that
no matter what the rodeo was,
502
00:26:06,406 --> 00:26:08,284
Madison Square
Garden, Pendleton,
503
00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:10,230
when I go walkin' by the stalls
504
00:26:10,180 --> 00:26:13,048
he'd start hollerin'
bloody murder.
505
00:26:12,963 --> 00:26:15,798
He was cursin' at that's
a fact, and threatenin',
506
00:26:17,761 --> 00:26:19,138
and I was hopin'
to draw him again,
507
00:26:19,104 --> 00:26:21,938
you know, another
bronc bustin' contest,
508
00:26:21,856 --> 00:26:23,856
year after year it
just never worked,
509
00:26:23,807 --> 00:26:24,807
never worked.
510
00:26:26,462 --> 00:26:28,795
- Folks, little more
coffee or some brandy?
511
00:26:28,733 --> 00:26:29,665
- Oh no thanks.
512
00:26:29,660 --> 00:26:31,861
- Oh say I'm sorry
Ray I got talkin' here
513
00:26:31,804 --> 00:26:33,248
and didn't realize
how late it was.
514
00:26:33,211 --> 00:26:34,544
- Don't worry about it Ben.
515
00:26:34,523 --> 00:26:37,156
Now you folks just stay
and talk as long as you like.
516
00:26:37,081 --> 00:26:39,716
I got some paperwork to
catch up on in the back so,
517
00:26:39,641 --> 00:26:41,040
if you need anything, just yell.
518
00:26:41,015 --> 00:26:42,682
- Thanks Ray.
519
00:26:42,648 --> 00:26:44,080
- I'll, just leave these here.
520
00:26:46,646 --> 00:26:51,749
- Sorry, you know hey
guys it's two o'clock.
521
00:26:51,571 --> 00:26:53,038
Ben I'm a workin' man.
522
00:26:53,011 --> 00:26:54,277
- Can't we just stay 'til,
523
00:26:54,258 --> 00:26:56,325
lets hear the rest
of the story, okay?
524
00:26:58,002 --> 00:27:01,436
- Well anyhow I was pretty
busted up by then you know
525
00:27:01,327 --> 00:27:05,497
I figured I'd quit rodeos
all together, you know,
526
00:27:05,358 --> 00:27:09,393
but there was one big one
still at Madison Square Garden.
527
00:27:09,261 --> 00:27:10,971
You know I got
second in calf ropin',
528
00:27:10,923 --> 00:27:12,790
I wasn't even expectin' that.
529
00:27:12,747 --> 00:27:15,315
So I was walkin'
out goin' by the stalls
530
00:27:15,242 --> 00:27:19,678
and I hear this big
scream, that's right,
531
00:27:19,528 --> 00:27:21,061
it's old Hard Nose.
532
00:27:21,896 --> 00:27:23,507
Course he was
pretty old by then,
533
00:27:23,463 --> 00:27:26,530
must have been about 15
you know, just a work horse,
534
00:27:26,438 --> 00:27:27,770
wasn't buck horse no more.
535
00:27:28,709 --> 00:27:31,543
Kind of broken up just
like your old Uncle Ben.
536
00:27:33,698 --> 00:27:36,400
So, anyway.
537
00:27:36,322 --> 00:27:37,322
I got up on him,
538
00:27:38,209 --> 00:27:40,375
and I'm sittin' there
on his old swayback,
539
00:27:41,247 --> 00:27:44,082
he can hardly
move let alone buck,
540
00:27:43,999 --> 00:27:45,331
but he tried.
541
00:27:45,886 --> 00:27:47,018
You know what I done?
542
00:27:47,005 --> 00:27:48,204
You know what I done?
543
00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:49,789
I fell right off him.
544
00:27:49,756 --> 00:27:53,358
Well you never saw a
happier horse in all your life.
545
00:27:53,243 --> 00:27:55,610
He just laughed, he laughed.
546
00:27:56,218 --> 00:27:58,851
Yeah, so I bought him,
547
00:27:59,992 --> 00:28:02,692
I bought old Hard Nose and
I took him back to my place
548
00:28:02,615 --> 00:28:05,716
and we kind of hung around
together all the time then,
549
00:28:08,308 --> 00:28:09,308
'til he died.
550
00:28:11,923 --> 00:28:14,524
- You know you're a
sentimental old cowboy,
551
00:28:14,450 --> 00:28:16,082
that's what you are.
552
00:28:30,636 --> 00:28:31,835
- We got lucky.
553
00:28:31,819 --> 00:28:33,063
The bug was purchased
three or four years ago
554
00:28:33,035 --> 00:28:35,468
by a company that
was obviously a front.
555
00:28:35,401 --> 00:28:37,267
Pacific West Security Systems.
556
00:28:37,225 --> 00:28:38,491
I went to the address,
557
00:28:38,472 --> 00:28:41,006
found out they've been out
of business for year and a half.
558
00:28:40,935 --> 00:28:42,202
- That's lucky.
559
00:28:42,183 --> 00:28:43,183
- Recognize him?
560
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:46,123
- He looks familiar.
561
00:28:46,086 --> 00:28:47,885
Refresh my memory.
562
00:28:47,844 --> 00:28:49,378
- Refresh his memory Pete.
563
00:28:49,348 --> 00:28:50,558
- Well you should remember him,
564
00:28:50,531 --> 00:28:53,132
you busted him yourself
about five years ago.
565
00:28:55,393 --> 00:28:56,559
- Sure, William Galloway.
566
00:28:56,545 --> 00:28:59,779
He was the middle man in
that big hijacking ring, right?
567
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:01,112
- You got it.
568
00:29:01,087 --> 00:29:02,332
- Only he took a walk because
none of his confederates
569
00:29:02,303 --> 00:29:03,568
would testify against him.
570
00:29:04,510 --> 00:29:05,775
This is the bug huh?
571
00:29:05,757 --> 00:29:08,124
- He was Pacific West Security.
572
00:29:08,061 --> 00:29:09,527
Intelligence says it was a front
573
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:11,266
for a loan sharking operation.
574
00:29:11,227 --> 00:29:12,759
- Don't tell me,
575
00:29:12,730 --> 00:29:16,465
Pacific West Security is now
Pacific West Meat Packers.
576
00:29:16,344 --> 00:29:17,777
- You got it.
577
00:29:17,753 --> 00:29:19,731
- This is harassment
Crowley and you know it.
578
00:29:19,672 --> 00:29:21,416
- I'm sorry you feel
that way Galloway.
579
00:29:21,367 --> 00:29:22,666
- I'm sure you are.
580
00:29:22,647 --> 00:29:24,391
I told you before I don't
know anything about how
581
00:29:24,342 --> 00:29:25,875
Al Markham died.
582
00:29:25,845 --> 00:29:27,690
- I'm easy to convince,
all you gotta do is just
583
00:29:27,636 --> 00:29:31,170
give me permission to come
in have a little look around.
584
00:29:31,059 --> 00:29:32,836
- Get out of here,
go on get out.
585
00:29:32,785 --> 00:29:35,020
You wanna look around
get a search warrant.
586
00:29:34,961 --> 00:29:39,163
- You know somethin' friend,
I'm gonna get you one day.
587
00:29:39,023 --> 00:29:40,735
I mean one day you're
gonna make a little mistake
588
00:29:40,687 --> 00:29:42,086
and I'm gonna be right there.
589
00:29:42,062 --> 00:29:45,030
- That's threatening and
intimidating Lieutenant.
590
00:29:44,941 --> 00:29:46,686
They're laws against
that you know?
591
00:29:46,637 --> 00:29:49,037
- Yeah well when you get
the state bar association
592
00:29:48,971 --> 00:29:52,272
to reinstate you then
I'll let you tell me about it.
593
00:29:52,170 --> 00:29:54,103
In the mean time, it's Sergeant.
594
00:29:54,057 --> 00:29:55,057
- Still?
595
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,632
After all these
years on the force.
596
00:29:57,576 --> 00:29:58,576
How about that.
597
00:29:59,654 --> 00:30:01,066
- Can you imagine those
turkeys coming in here
598
00:30:01,031 --> 00:30:02,463
without a search warrant?
599
00:30:02,437 --> 00:30:04,649
- Well, Willie maybe you better
get out of the meat business
600
00:30:04,581 --> 00:30:05,413
for a while, what do you think?
601
00:30:05,412 --> 00:30:06,345
- Are you crazy?
602
00:30:06,340 --> 00:30:08,774
I never saw so much
money in an operation.
603
00:30:10,755 --> 00:30:12,622
Don't worry, don't worry.
604
00:30:12,578 --> 00:30:14,523
I think we're smart enough
to stay ahead of Crowley
605
00:30:14,465 --> 00:30:16,008
and the rest of
those stumble bums.
606
00:30:15,968 --> 00:30:18,436
- Yeah where we have
trouble though is Ollie Maxwell.
607
00:30:18,367 --> 00:30:19,700
- What do you mean?
608
00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:22,480
- Well he went into
business on his own.
609
00:30:22,398 --> 00:30:23,763
Between he and Ben Fletcher
610
00:30:23,741 --> 00:30:24,985
working both
sides of the street.
611
00:30:24,957 --> 00:30:27,191
It's bound to bring heat.
612
00:30:27,132 --> 00:30:30,600
- Suppose, just suppose,
we get the two of 'em together
613
00:30:30,490 --> 00:30:31,490
one more time.
614
00:30:32,954 --> 00:30:33,954
- And?
615
00:30:34,713 --> 00:30:38,981
- And, may the better
man emerge victorious.
616
00:30:41,910 --> 00:30:43,376
I think that's the expression.
617
00:30:44,724 --> 00:30:45,724
- Yes sir.
618
00:30:48,947 --> 00:30:52,481
The Commissioner
read your followup report.
619
00:30:52,370 --> 00:30:54,570
He thinks it's Galloway too.
620
00:30:54,512 --> 00:30:56,880
He wants us to put
a surveillance on him.
621
00:30:56,816 --> 00:30:59,049
- Not gonna be movin' now.
622
00:30:58,991 --> 00:31:01,031
- Why don't you tell
the Commissioner?
623
00:31:02,893 --> 00:31:03,959
- Ray Roberts,
624
00:31:05,068 --> 00:31:06,301
he buys a lot of beef.
625
00:31:07,244 --> 00:31:09,411
Why don't we get him
to buy from Galloway?
626
00:31:10,954 --> 00:31:12,754
- Sure, so why not?
627
00:31:12,713 --> 00:31:13,757
- [Ray] Just get off my back!
628
00:31:13,737 --> 00:31:15,170
- [Pepper] No, I can't!
629
00:31:15,144 --> 00:31:16,454
- Pepper you don't realize
what you're asking me to do...
630
00:31:16,423 --> 00:31:17,356
- Yes I do.
631
00:31:17,351 --> 00:31:18,651
I really, I know it's tough,
632
00:31:18,631 --> 00:31:20,898
but we think Galloway
had Al Markham murdered.
633
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:21,671
- Well what can I do about it?
634
00:31:21,670 --> 00:31:23,069
- You can help us.
635
00:31:23,044 --> 00:31:26,179
Ray, what we figure is Galloway
was pressuring Al Markham
636
00:31:26,083 --> 00:31:27,383
into buying stolen beef.
637
00:31:27,363 --> 00:31:28,974
We want you to spread the
word that you're interested
638
00:31:28,931 --> 00:31:30,131
in the same kind of deal.
639
00:31:30,114 --> 00:31:31,958
- I already bought a
load of beef from them.
640
00:31:31,905 --> 00:31:33,271
- How did that come about?
641
00:31:33,249 --> 00:31:35,127
- Galloway came
in here and told me
642
00:31:35,073 --> 00:31:36,472
that he and Al had a prior deal.
643
00:31:36,447 --> 00:31:38,514
And quite frankly
the price was right.
644
00:31:38,462 --> 00:31:40,174
- So right that it might
have been stolen?
645
00:31:40,127 --> 00:31:42,271
- So right that with these
people you don't ask questions.
646
00:31:42,205 --> 00:31:44,706
- You don't wanna
cooperate with us do you?
647
00:31:51,097 --> 00:31:53,142
- You really think
Galloway had Al killed?
648
00:31:53,081 --> 00:31:54,847
- I think we'd like to find out.
649
00:31:58,806 --> 00:32:00,940
- You'll have to do it
without my help Pepper.
650
00:32:01,973 --> 00:32:03,806
I've got a wife and a baby.
651
00:32:05,492 --> 00:32:06,625
I'm sorry.
652
00:32:08,467 --> 00:32:10,834
(phone ringing)
653
00:32:10,770 --> 00:32:11,602
- Yeah.
654
00:32:11,601 --> 00:32:12,601
Hello.
655
00:32:12,593 --> 00:32:14,826
- Hello Ben, it's me
Willie, we got trouble.
656
00:32:14,767 --> 00:32:16,033
- What kind?
657
00:32:16,016 --> 00:32:17,127
- Your old friend Ollie Maxwell.
658
00:32:17,104 --> 00:32:19,270
He rustled a truckload of beef.
659
00:32:19,215 --> 00:32:20,514
- Well that figures.
660
00:32:20,493 --> 00:32:21,359
So what?
661
00:32:21,357 --> 00:32:22,790
- So what!
662
00:32:22,764 --> 00:32:23,897
So what!
663
00:32:23,884 --> 00:32:25,650
It was 50 head.
664
00:32:25,612 --> 00:32:27,879
Besides, he's an
amateur, he'll get caught.
665
00:32:27,818 --> 00:32:29,796
He'll turn over on
us in a flat minute.
666
00:32:29,738 --> 00:32:33,640
You wanna spend 10
years in jail for cattle rustling?
667
00:32:33,513 --> 00:32:37,381
- Hey, you know I just
might have a notion.
668
00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:39,087
- Yeah, about what?
669
00:32:39,046 --> 00:32:41,547
- Well I know where
Maxwell's goin' first.
670
00:32:42,692 --> 00:32:44,626
Might be I could discourage him.
671
00:32:44,580 --> 00:32:45,712
- Somebody has to Ben.
672
00:32:45,699 --> 00:32:47,565
We both know that.
673
00:32:47,523 --> 00:32:49,089
Now about that meat.
674
00:32:49,058 --> 00:32:51,491
- Oh you'll get it,
you'll get it Willie.
675
00:32:51,424 --> 00:32:53,302
- I knew I could
count on you Ben.
676
00:32:53,248 --> 00:32:54,715
- Yeah we'll be in touch.
677
00:33:00,253 --> 00:33:02,119
Goin' on young lady.
678
00:33:02,077 --> 00:33:04,678
- I know, I'm supposed
to be sleeping.
679
00:33:04,604 --> 00:33:08,973
Ah, doctors, can't get
enough rest in your condition
680
00:33:08,826 --> 00:33:09,758
Mrs. Fletcher.
681
00:33:09,754 --> 00:33:12,054
Now you gotta understand that.
682
00:33:13,176 --> 00:33:17,478
There's only one trouble with
all that rest, you know Ben?
683
00:33:17,334 --> 00:33:18,701
- What's that?
684
00:33:18,678 --> 00:33:21,012
- It gets to be real tiring,
685
00:33:23,091 --> 00:33:25,726
and I don't get to
see enough of you
686
00:33:25,651 --> 00:33:27,818
as I do when my
eyes are not shut.
687
00:33:29,937 --> 00:33:31,870
So I miss you that much more.
688
00:33:31,825 --> 00:33:34,225
- Now darlin I see
you as much as I can.
689
00:33:36,207 --> 00:33:37,373
- Don't I know that.
690
00:33:39,693 --> 00:33:42,961
There's no husband better
than you Ben Fletcher.
691
00:33:42,861 --> 00:33:46,562
- Hey I wasn't fishin'
for any compliments.
692
00:33:46,443 --> 00:33:48,609
- Happens to be the truth.
693
00:33:48,554 --> 00:33:52,689
It also happens that I'm the
luckiest woman I've ever known.
694
00:33:54,216 --> 00:33:57,583
And don't tell me you don't
like a sweet word in your ear.
695
00:33:59,493 --> 00:34:02,261
- Hey, I'd like
another one of those.
696
00:34:06,178 --> 00:34:07,244
- Okay?
697
00:34:07,233 --> 00:34:08,233
- Okay.
698
00:34:10,112 --> 00:34:11,446
For now.
699
00:34:17,151 --> 00:34:19,051
- Who was that on the phone?
700
00:34:19,645 --> 00:34:21,645
- Oh, business.
701
00:34:21,596 --> 00:34:23,096
- Serious business?
702
00:34:24,410 --> 00:34:26,277
- Do I look serious?
703
00:34:26,234 --> 00:34:27,234
- You did.
704
00:34:28,090 --> 00:34:29,222
A little when I came in.
705
00:34:30,904 --> 00:34:31,904
- Routine.
706
00:34:34,328 --> 00:34:36,127
Hey darlin what's the matter?
707
00:34:37,622 --> 00:34:40,456
- I was just thinkin' how
there's nothing routine
708
00:34:40,373 --> 00:34:42,906
in all those medical
bills you've been paying
709
00:34:42,836 --> 00:34:44,002
for the last year.
710
00:34:44,691 --> 00:34:46,091
- Come on now I told you.
711
00:34:46,066 --> 00:34:48,011
I don't want to hear
any more talk about that,
712
00:34:47,954 --> 00:34:48,954
you understand?
713
00:34:57,005 --> 00:34:58,171
- Dear Pepper.
714
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:02,365
These must have
cost her a fortune.
715
00:35:02,284 --> 00:35:05,585
- Still the same
beautiful, good girl huh.
716
00:35:07,274 --> 00:35:10,042
- I don't know when I've
had a better time in years.
717
00:35:11,624 --> 00:35:14,291
All those stories
about her cases,
718
00:35:15,174 --> 00:35:16,841
three men she works with,
719
00:35:18,757 --> 00:35:20,677
and she said
somethin' about you.
720
00:35:21,764 --> 00:35:28,202
Somethin' I thought that I was
the only one who saw in you.
721
00:35:27,969 --> 00:35:30,070
- I'm gettin' better
lookin' every year.
722
00:35:31,232 --> 00:35:33,698
- It was a lot deeper
than that Ben.
723
00:35:35,135 --> 00:35:40,504
She said, he gets to be
even more of a real man.
724
00:35:43,930 --> 00:35:44,930
Kinder,
725
00:35:46,426 --> 00:35:47,426
more tender,
726
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,119
more loving.
727
00:36:01,268 --> 00:36:04,569
- Hey, gettin' another turn.
728
00:36:06,513 --> 00:36:08,593
What do you say we
go in the bedroom and
729
00:36:09,617 --> 00:36:14,353
both of us get some of that
famous rest of yours, huh?
730
00:36:14,190 --> 00:36:15,190
Hmm?
731
00:36:23,786 --> 00:36:25,886
(laughing)
732
00:36:28,649 --> 00:36:31,617
(suspenseful music)
733
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:25,275
Easy now.
734
00:37:25,265 --> 00:37:27,599
You know you're
gonna get us all busted?
735
00:37:27,537 --> 00:37:30,004
I was just lookin' in
that truck of yours.
736
00:37:29,936 --> 00:37:31,313
There ain't a rancher
in the whole state
737
00:37:31,279 --> 00:37:32,879
ain't gonna miss 50 head.
738
00:37:32,846 --> 00:37:34,556
- Don't jump to
conclusions Fletcher.
739
00:37:34,509 --> 00:37:36,777
I got that from five
different spreads.
740
00:37:36,717 --> 00:37:39,484
- Alright, 50 head
in the same county.
741
00:37:39,404 --> 00:37:41,181
You know Galloway
was right about you,
742
00:37:41,130 --> 00:37:42,630
you're an amateur.
743
00:37:42,603 --> 00:37:45,704
You put that thing down,
I'm gonna take your truck.
744
00:37:45,609 --> 00:37:46,875
- Like hell you are.
745
00:37:46,856 --> 00:37:49,857
(gunfire booms)
746
00:37:53,446 --> 00:37:56,547
(melancholy music)
747
00:38:16,924 --> 00:38:18,890
(sighs)
748
00:38:31,989 --> 00:38:34,023
- Hello Helen, yeah it's me.
749
00:38:36,501 --> 00:38:37,541
Yeah I wish I were.
750
00:38:38,452 --> 00:38:42,187
No I gotta go
south instead, yeah.
751
00:38:42,066 --> 00:38:44,633
Well there's been
some big changes.
752
00:38:45,904 --> 00:38:48,205
Well I don't want to
talk business with you,
753
00:38:48,144 --> 00:38:52,113
I mean that's just
a bore, you know.
754
00:38:51,982 --> 00:38:54,082
Hey, how do you feel?
755
00:38:55,020 --> 00:38:56,721
Good, real good.
756
00:38:59,403 --> 00:39:03,438
No no no, maybe I'm
catchin' a little cold you know.
757
00:39:03,306 --> 00:39:09,510
My throats a little sore
but I'm fine, I'm alright.
758
00:39:09,287 --> 00:39:10,287
Yeah.
759
00:39:11,333 --> 00:39:15,269
Well, I guess I better
be gettin' along now.
760
00:39:16,964 --> 00:39:21,634
Say Helen, something
I want to say first.
761
00:39:24,481 --> 00:39:25,779
I love you Helen.
762
00:39:30,206 --> 00:39:31,206
With all my heart.
763
00:39:33,054 --> 00:39:34,054
I love you.
764
00:39:35,676 --> 00:39:36,676
Sure.
765
00:39:37,403 --> 00:39:40,371
I'll say it word for
word when I get home.
766
00:39:41,498 --> 00:39:44,932
Now did you ever know
when I didn't keep a promise?
767
00:39:44,824 --> 00:39:46,924
Now don't you start that now!
768
00:39:51,286 --> 00:39:52,286
I love you Helen.
769
00:39:54,325 --> 00:39:55,325
I'll see you.
770
00:39:57,363 --> 00:39:58,462
Yeah real soon.
771
00:40:12,237 --> 00:40:15,538
- Right okay, we'll have the
suspect in custody for you.
772
00:40:15,436 --> 00:40:16,436
Call you later.
773
00:40:19,434 --> 00:40:22,335
That was Gainer from
the Fresno Sheriff's Office.
774
00:40:23,272 --> 00:40:24,939
Well they found a body.
775
00:40:24,904 --> 00:40:26,236
Guy named Ollie Maxwell.
776
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:28,482
General cowhand
in that area for years.
777
00:40:28,423 --> 00:40:30,022
- So what's next?
778
00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:31,535
- I think this whole thing's
gonna come together
779
00:40:31,494 --> 00:40:32,660
next couple hours.
780
00:40:32,645 --> 00:40:33,944
- Does Pepper know?
781
00:40:33,924 --> 00:40:37,759
- No, and I don't want
to be the one to tell her.
782
00:40:44,065 --> 00:40:45,430
- Who's your buyer?
783
00:40:45,408 --> 00:40:47,486
- Eh, small time
hood out of San Diego,
784
00:40:47,423 --> 00:40:49,023
runs a string of restaurants.
785
00:40:48,990 --> 00:40:50,089
He's gonna take it.
786
00:40:50,974 --> 00:40:53,341
- What'd you do with Maxwell?
787
00:40:53,276 --> 00:40:54,276
- Buried him.
788
00:40:56,986 --> 00:40:58,665
You want that beef at
Markham's restaurant
789
00:40:58,619 --> 00:41:00,619
tonight after two, right?
790
00:41:00,570 --> 00:41:01,802
- That's right.
791
00:41:01,784 --> 00:41:03,029
He looks at the beef
we get our bucks,
792
00:41:03,001 --> 00:41:04,961
and he's on his way
back to San Diego.
793
00:41:05,591 --> 00:41:07,024
- Whatever you guys want.
794
00:41:12,661 --> 00:41:15,261
(pensive music)
795
00:41:34,828 --> 00:41:36,995
- 12 Y 52 to 12 Y 90.
796
00:41:36,939 --> 00:41:39,540
Ben just arrived
with the meat truck.
797
00:41:39,466 --> 00:41:41,966
Looks like things are just
about ready to go down.
798
00:41:41,896 --> 00:41:44,397
- [Crowley] Roger 90,
Pepper and I are in route.
799
00:41:46,567 --> 00:41:47,600
Let's go.
800
00:41:50,501 --> 00:41:54,337
- Fresno said he was killed
with a 45 caliber revolver?
801
00:41:54,212 --> 00:41:55,311
- That's right.
802
00:41:55,299 --> 00:41:57,211
They got an investigator
be down tomorrow
803
00:41:57,155 --> 00:41:58,453
to take him into custody.
804
00:41:58,434 --> 00:42:01,702
- Yeah, if we were going
any other place in the world.
805
00:42:21,208 --> 00:42:23,809
- Ben what the hell's
goin' on here tonight?
806
00:42:23,735 --> 00:42:25,068
- I don't getcha.
807
00:42:25,047 --> 00:42:26,257
- Galloway is out there
tonight with a couple of heavy
808
00:42:26,230 --> 00:42:28,175
looking dudes from
San Diego or someplace.
809
00:42:28,117 --> 00:42:30,951
Look, I never bargained
for anything like this.
810
00:42:32,213 --> 00:42:33,293
- Customers all gone?
811
00:42:34,387 --> 00:42:35,587
- Yeah.
812
00:42:35,571 --> 00:42:37,149
- You and the
help get outta here.
813
00:42:37,107 --> 00:42:39,207
Keep that back door unlocked.
814
00:42:39,153 --> 00:42:40,819
- Ben, what's going on?
815
00:42:40,784 --> 00:42:41,784
- Goodnight.
816
00:42:48,622 --> 00:42:49,854
Parked out back.
817
00:42:50,988 --> 00:42:53,689
- Oh, Doran this Ben
Fletcher, our supplier.
818
00:42:53,612 --> 00:42:55,445
Here you go Ben.
819
00:42:55,402 --> 00:42:57,469
As usual, cash on delivery.
820
00:42:57,418 --> 00:42:59,396
- Cowboy you've
got good taste in beef.
821
00:42:59,337 --> 00:43:00,381
Sit down, join us in a drink...
822
00:43:00,361 --> 00:43:01,460
- No no thanks.
823
00:43:01,449 --> 00:43:02,892
I go over there and
pour myself a drink
824
00:43:02,855 --> 00:43:05,136
and as soon as you check
out the delivery I'll get.
825
00:43:19,936 --> 00:43:21,469
- You ready to show?
826
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,673
- Yeah, at his pleasure.
827
00:43:24,447 --> 00:43:25,527
- Go have a look see.
828
00:43:26,589 --> 00:43:27,989
- It's out back.
829
00:43:27,966 --> 00:43:29,098
Be quick now.
830
00:43:29,085 --> 00:43:31,585
I don't want it sitting around.
831
00:43:42,967 --> 00:43:43,967
- 12 Y 50.
832
00:43:44,726 --> 00:43:46,726
They're in the truck now.
833
00:43:46,678 --> 00:43:48,523
- [Crowley] 50,
yeah we've seen em'.
834
00:43:48,469 --> 00:43:50,768
You take the truck
we'll take the inside.
835
00:43:50,708 --> 00:43:51,708
- Got it.
836
00:43:52,212 --> 00:43:55,179
(action music)
837
00:44:02,704 --> 00:44:05,004
(tires squealing)
838
00:44:04,942 --> 00:44:06,182
- Hold it right there police.
839
00:44:06,158 --> 00:44:08,125
Put your hands up, put 'em up.
840
00:44:08,077 --> 00:44:08,842
Get against the truck.
841
00:44:08,845 --> 00:44:10,345
- I if you do,
842
00:44:10,316 --> 00:44:11,282
you be deader than that
beefs that's in the truck.
843
00:44:11,276 --> 00:44:12,075
Get on down.
844
00:44:12,075 --> 00:44:12,874
Come on.
845
00:44:12,875 --> 00:44:15,542
(tense music)
846
00:44:26,502 --> 00:44:27,634
- Police officers.
847
00:44:27,621 --> 00:44:29,321
Get your hands on the table.
848
00:44:29,285 --> 00:44:30,150
Get 'em up there
where I can see 'em.
849
00:44:30,148 --> 00:44:31,348
Come on lets go, get 'em up.
850
00:44:33,347 --> 00:44:34,379
- Pepper look out!
851
00:44:34,371 --> 00:44:37,338
(gunfire popping)
852
00:44:40,096 --> 00:44:42,297
(groaning)
853
00:44:46,333 --> 00:44:47,377
- Hey, no no, it's okay.
854
00:44:47,356 --> 00:44:48,322
We're not armed.
855
00:44:48,316 --> 00:44:49,148
Hey come on, easy.
856
00:44:49,148 --> 00:44:50,080
We haven't got...
857
00:44:50,075 --> 00:44:51,075
- Uncle Ben!
858
00:44:53,467 --> 00:44:56,167
- Hey, hey Pepper.
859
00:44:56,089 --> 00:44:57,089
I'm sorry.
860
00:44:57,976 --> 00:44:58,942
I let you down.
861
00:44:58,936 --> 00:45:00,002
- No you didn't.
862
00:45:01,431 --> 00:45:04,933
We wouldn't have been here
if you hadn't called the police.
863
00:45:04,822 --> 00:45:06,889
What happened with Maxwell?
864
00:45:06,837 --> 00:45:09,071
- Well, it was him or me.
865
00:45:10,387 --> 00:45:12,021
- Oh, come on Ben.
866
00:45:12,595 --> 00:45:13,828
Ben, come on.
867
00:45:15,378 --> 00:45:16,544
Come on.
868
00:45:16,529 --> 00:45:20,030
It took a lot of
courage to do that.
869
00:45:19,919 --> 00:45:21,253
- We're calling and ambulance.
870
00:45:21,231 --> 00:45:22,730
Hang in there Ben.
871
00:45:23,566 --> 00:45:25,166
- Ambulance.
872
00:45:25,134 --> 00:45:27,801
Hah, I ain't gonna
need one of those.
873
00:45:29,932 --> 00:45:34,201
Now Pepper, you listen to me.
874
00:45:35,721 --> 00:45:37,320
When I was a little kid,
875
00:45:38,536 --> 00:45:41,637
it was the worst thing in
the world a man could do
876
00:45:41,543 --> 00:45:43,643
steal somebody else's cattle,
877
00:45:46,213 --> 00:45:47,246
but when my wife
878
00:45:48,515 --> 00:45:49,515
my Helen,
879
00:45:51,331 --> 00:45:52,331
she was sick,
880
00:45:54,018 --> 00:45:56,085
and I didn't have any money,
881
00:45:57,888 --> 00:45:59,287
and I got desperate,
882
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:02,159
had to do somethin'.
883
00:46:03,166 --> 00:46:04,344
- You did what you had to do...
884
00:46:04,318 --> 00:46:06,685
- Yeah but stealin'

find out about that.
