NARRATOR:
He was growing into middle age...
2
00:01:13,783 --> 00:01:17,328
...and was living then in a bungalow
on Woodland Avenue.
3
00:01:19,205 --> 00:01:21,416
He installed himself in a rocking chair...
4
00:01:21,583 --> 00:01:23,668
...and smoked a cigar down
in the evenings...
5
00:01:23,835 --> 00:01:26,754
...as his wife wiped her pink hands
on an apron...
6
00:01:26,921 --> 00:01:30,091
...and reported happily
on their two children.
7
00:01:36,014 --> 00:01:37,599
His children knew his legs...
8
00:01:37,890 --> 00:01:41,102
...the sting of his mustache
against their cheeks.
9
00:01:41,936 --> 00:01:47,108
They didn't know how their father made
his living or why they so often moved.
10
00:01:47,859 --> 00:01:50,737
They didn't even know
their father's name.
11
00:01:53,072 --> 00:01:56,909
He was listed in the city directory
as Thomas Howard.
12
00:01:57,201 --> 00:01:59,537
And he went everywhere unrecognized...
13
00:01:59,704 --> 00:02:02,749
...and lunched with Kansas City
shopkeepers and merchants...
14
00:02:03,291 --> 00:02:06,294
...calling himself a cattleman
or a commodities investor...
15
00:02:07,211 --> 00:02:10,757
...someone rich and leisured
who had the common touch.
16
00:02:13,885 --> 00:02:17,305
He had two incompletely healed
bullet holes in his chest...
17
00:02:17,472 --> 00:02:19,057
...and another in his thigh.
18
00:02:19,223 --> 00:02:21,726
He was missing the nub
of his left middle finger...
19
00:02:21,893 --> 00:02:25,146
...and was cautious,
lest that mutilation be seen.
20
00:02:26,898 --> 00:02:30,652
He also had a condition that was
referred to as "granulated eyelids"...
21
00:02:30,818 --> 00:02:33,821
...and it caused him
to blink more than usual...
22
00:02:34,572 --> 00:02:38,743
...as if he found creation
slightly more than he could accept.

a Southern loyalist and guerrilla...

...in a Civil War that never ended.
29

[MAN CHUCKLES]
1704
02:25:23,424 --> 02:25:25,635
NARRATOR:
He thought, at his angriest...
1705
02:25:25,801 --> 02:25:29,555
...about visiting the kin
of Jesse's slaughtered victims:
1706
02:25:31,515 --> 02:25:34,810
Mrs. William Westfall in Plattsburg...
1707
02:25:37,313 --> 02:25:40,399
...the Wymore family in Clay County...
1708
02:25:45,529 --> 02:25:49,825
...perhaps even Mrs. Joseph Heywood
in Northfield, Minnesota.
1709
02:25:52,912 --> 02:25:55,915
He would go to their homes
and give his name as Robert Ford...
1710
02:25:56,082 --> 02:25:59,043
...the man who killed Jesse James.
1711
02:26:00,503 --> 02:26:03,547
He imagined they would
be grateful to him.
1712

[MEN WHISTLING AND CHEERING]
1719
02:26:54,515 --> 02:26:59,520
NARRATOR: It was only with Dorothy Evans
that Bob spoke revealingly or plainly...
1720
02:26:59,687 --> 02:27:04,108
...and it was with her that he spoke of
things he didn't know he knew.
1721
02:27:25,755 --> 02:27:29,842
He told her that he had no real memory
of the shooting and its aftermath.
1722
02:27:30,009 --> 02:27:33,888
He could remember lifting the gun
that Jesse had given him...
1723
02:27:34,597 --> 02:27:38,642
...and then it was Good Friday and he was
reading about the funeral proceedings...
1724
02:27:38,809 --> 02:27:41,354
...as if they'd happened a long time ago.
1725
02:27:42,938 --> 02:27:45,066
DOROTHY:
Why did you kill him?
1726
02:27:49,362 --> 02:27:51,405
Well, he was gonna kill me.
1727
02:27:56,619 --> 02:27:59,830
So you were scared
and that's the only reason?
1728
02:28:02,583 --> 02:28:03,959
Yeah.
1729
02:28:04,460 --> 02:28:06,504
And the reward money.
1730
02:28:12,301 --> 02:28:15,137
Do you want me to change the subject?
1731
02:28:23,312 --> 02:28:25,648
You know what I expected?
1732
02:28:26,690 --> 02:28:28,692
Applause.

[BOB CHUCKLES]
1734
02:28:31,278 --> 02:28:35,449
I was only 20 years old then.
I couldn't see how it would look to people.
1735
02:28:39,537 --> 02:28:42,206
I was surprised by what happened.
1736
02:28:43,290 --> 02:28:44,417
They didn't applaud.
1737
02:28:44,583 --> 02:28:46,585
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
1738
02:28:48,671 --> 02:28:50,548
NARRATOR:
He was ashamed of his boasting...
1739
02:28:50,714 --> 02:28:53,592
...his pretensions of courage
and ruthlessness.
1740
02:28:53,884 --> 02:28:57,680
He was sorry about his cold-bloodedness,
his dispassion...
1741
02:28:59,306 --> 02:29:03,686
...his inability to express
what he now believed was the case:
1742
02:29:06,272 --> 02:29:09,316
That he truly regretted killing Jesse...
1743
02:29:10,067 --> 02:29:13,070
...that he missed the man
as much as anybody...
1744
02:29:13,612 --> 02:29:16,740
...and wished his murder
hadn't been necessary.
1745

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
1746
02:29:36,218 --> 02:29:38,304
Even as he circulated his saloon...
1747
02:29:38,471 --> 02:29:42,224
...he knew that the smiles disappeared
when he passed by.
1748
02:29:43,350 --> 02:29:45,186
He received so many menacing letters...
1749
02:29:45,352 --> 02:29:48,772
...that he could read them
without any reaction except curiosity.
1750
02:29:52,568 --> 02:29:57,406
He kept to his apartment all day,
flipping over playing cards...
1751
02:29:58,908 --> 02:30:03,412
...looking at his destiny
in every king and jack.
1752
02:30:07,583 --> 02:30:11,921
Edward O'Kelly came up from Bachelor
at 1 p.m. on the 8th.
1753
02:30:13,380 --> 02:30:17,301
He had no grand scheme, no strategy...
1754
02:30:17,468 --> 02:30:19,887
...no agreement with higher authorities...
1755
02:30:20,054 --> 02:30:22,806
...nothing beyond
a vague longing for glory...
1756
02:30:23,891 --> 02:30:28,145
...and a generalized wish
for revenge against Robert Ford.
1757
02:30:35,945 --> 02:30:39,198
BOB: How'd it go last night?
ELLA MAE: Not so bad.
1758
02:30:42,451 --> 02:30:43,827
O'KELLY:
The other one.
1759
02:30:46,330 --> 02:30:49,124
NARRATOR: Edward O'Kelly would be
ordered to serve a life sentence...
1760
02:30:49,291 --> 02:30:52,169
...in the Colorado Penitentiary
for second-degree murder.
1761
02:30:52,336 --> 02:30:55,130
Over 7,000 signatures
would eventually be gathered...
1762
02:30:55,297 --> 02:30:57,550
...on a petition asking for
O'Kelly's release...
1763
02:30:57,716 --> 02:31:02,721
...and in 1902, Governor James B. Orman
would pardon the man.
1764
02:31:03,305 --> 02:31:07,726
You shouldn't be wearing that stickpin
again there, Bob. Opals are unlucky.

[DRAWER CLOSES]
1766
02:31:09,061 --> 02:31:13,357
My luck's not very good as it is. I don't
think an opal's gonna change that much.
1767
02:31:14,316 --> 02:31:15,734
MARTY:
I hear you.
1768
02:31:29,331 --> 02:31:31,166
NARRATOR:
There would be no eulogies for Bob...
1769
02:31:32,876 --> 02:31:37,006
...no photographs of his body
would be sold in sundries stores...
1770
02:31:37,673 --> 02:31:42,052
...no people would crowd the streets
in the rain to see his funeral cortege...
1771
02:31:43,804 --> 02:31:46,765
...no biographies would be written
about him...
1772
02:31:46,932 --> 02:31:49,518
...no children named after him.
1773
02:31:51,061 --> 02:31:55,816
No one would ever pay 25 cents
to stand in the rooms he grew up in.
1774
02:32:00,362 --> 02:32:02,072
Hello, Bob.
1775
02:32:03,532 --> 02:32:07,703
NARRATOR: The shotgun would ignite,
and Ella Mae would scream...
1776
02:32:08,537 --> 02:32:12,207
...but Robert Ford would only lay
on the floor and look at the ceiling...
1777
02:32:12,374 --> 02:32:14,877
...the light going out of his eyes...
1778
02:32:15,044 --> 02:32:17,755
...before he could find the right words.
