00:01:16John, we should have caught up with that lady.
00:01:19They camped here last night, Martha.
00:01:21We'll catch up with them tomorrow, all right?
00:01:23I hope so.
00:01:24♪♪
00:01:27That a boy, ain't ya?
00:01:28You'll be a man before you know it.
00:01:30What am I doing now, Clint?
00:01:32I don't want to play.
00:01:33I don't want to play.
00:01:34I want to work.
00:01:35You've got to, Clint.
00:01:37If you want to do something, you can...
00:01:40Look!
00:01:41♪♪
00:01:50Hold, Damon.
00:01:51Hold, idiot.
00:01:52♪♪
00:01:58Howdy, folks!
00:01:59♪♪
00:02:07Steady, Damon.
00:02:09Steady, Petty.
00:02:10♪♪
00:02:15Well, allow me to introduce myself.
00:02:18My name is Windy Harper.
00:02:21And what might your name be?
00:02:23My name is...
00:02:24We're a happy family.
00:02:25Now, allow me to offer you a prospect
00:02:27of our new patent high-pressure, hollow-ground,
00:02:29steel-and-grade, rigid-frame, ball-bearing windmill.
00:02:32Each one guaranteed to toss 3,000 gallons of hot water,
00:02:35cold water, any kind of water
00:02:37over the tallest tree that ever grew on the banks
00:02:39of the Tawnee River far away.
00:02:41Windy's my name.
00:02:42Windmill's my business.
00:02:43And now I'll be glad to take your order.
00:02:45I don't need a windmill.
00:02:47Well, now, let me show you.
00:02:48I also carry a sideline of booms and mops,
00:02:51mops, kittles, and tails,
00:02:53uh, chute knives, scalping knives,
00:02:56which the government offers a bounty of $10 each
00:02:58on hostile Indian scalps.
00:03:00Now, here is a scalping knife
00:03:02intended by a fellow by the name of Bowie.
00:03:04Guaranteed to do the job just as slick
00:03:07as skinning the eyes out of a potato.
00:03:09Even a baby can use it.
00:03:11No scalping knives.
00:03:13Then what about some, uh,
00:03:16some liver pills, spices, Epi-Cac,
00:03:18rattlesnakes to oil her up some salt?
00:03:20Or maybe some nice vanilla hair tonic?
00:03:23Or some fair grease,
00:03:24flavored with all the perfumes of Arabia?
00:03:27Or maybe I could sell you some nice New England rum
00:03:30for snake bites?
00:03:32Or some prime Virginia stogie?
00:03:35Now, what about one of my new patent lightning rods?
00:03:39Say, them kids of yours look kind of peaky.
00:03:42What about some of my ground pumpkin seed worm medicine?
00:03:46Guaranteed to do the trick like magic.
00:03:48We've got everything we need.
00:03:50Well, that's my business.
00:03:53Well, if I can't sell something,
00:03:54I always make it a price to give something away.
00:03:57Here, boy.
00:03:58Here's a fine hunk of candy for each of you.
00:04:05Oh! Oh, my soul!
00:04:07What's the matter?
00:04:08What's the matter?
00:04:09I think I broke my soul!
00:04:11Just a minute.
00:04:12Give me room here.
00:04:13Give me room.
00:04:14Give me room.
00:04:15Up you go there.
00:04:16Now.
00:04:19Just a second, son.
00:04:23Open up.
00:04:25Wider.
00:04:26Wider.
00:04:28Ah!
00:04:29Just as I thought.
00:04:30What's the matter?
00:04:31This boy's got a tooth that needs to come out.
00:04:34Now, I'm the last toothful of this side of the Rocky Mountains,
00:04:38and I'll do the job for just one dollar.
00:04:40What do you say?
00:04:41Then you'd better stick it out.
00:04:43Now, open your mouth and shut your eyes,
00:04:45and I'll give you something to make you wise.
00:04:47Close the little eyesies.
00:04:50Ah!
00:04:51There you are, sonny.
00:04:53And if you can hear them, I did it.
00:04:55Yes!
00:04:57Open up.
00:04:58The wrong tooth.
00:04:59I'll try again.
00:05:00No!
00:05:02If my brother didn't, I'll kill you.
00:05:05Hey!
00:05:06Stop that.
00:05:07Take that gun away from him.
00:05:08It might go off.
00:05:09Don't do that, Eddie.
00:05:11You must never say that again.
00:05:15Well, I gotta be going.
00:05:17Here's your dollar.
00:05:18Oh, thank you.
00:05:19Well, goodbye.
00:05:25When did you leave St. Joe?
00:05:27Yesterday.
00:05:28We missed the wagon train.
00:05:29We hope to catch up with it tomorrow.
00:05:31Well, pretty rusty, I'd call it,
00:05:33but with these planes full of Indians and desperate characters.
00:05:36Well, good luck, Mr. Nurse.
00:05:38Well, good luck to you.
00:05:45Giddyap there, Damon.
00:05:46Giddyap.
00:05:47Giddyap there, Damon.
00:05:48Giddyap.
00:05:49Giddyap.
00:05:56Asa, you're so little.
00:05:59You're hardly big enough to understand.
00:06:02But our Lord gave us a commandment.
00:06:05Thou shalt not fear.
00:06:10But the man was running clear.
00:06:13Come, children.
00:06:15The little prayer that I taught you,
00:06:18it's our own prayer, children,
00:06:20and no one else has one just like it.
00:06:23Now then, if I should die before the night,
00:06:33I ask our Lord
00:06:40with all my might
00:06:44to take my soul
00:06:48and keep it fast
00:06:52until I see his face at last.
00:07:15Giddyap.
00:07:16Giddyap.
00:07:17Giddyap.
00:07:45Ah!
00:08:05Ah!
00:08:15Ah!
00:08:16Ah!
00:08:17Monkey little child, eh?
00:08:20All right, sick guy, I'll keep him.
00:08:23Unhitch the horses.
00:08:24Clear the wagon.
00:08:26Get off the trail.
00:08:33Mama!
00:08:35Mama!
00:08:37Guys!
00:08:38Mama!
00:08:39Mama!
00:08:44Oh, Mama!
00:09:01Did you find any trace of April?
00:09:05No, Mom.
00:09:07Not even a foot trace.
00:09:11I guess he's dead.
00:09:14No, Clint, April isn't dead.
00:09:17Perhaps it would be better for him if he was with you, Paul.
00:09:25Come on, Mom.
00:09:27The long way back to St. Joe.
00:09:31We'll get there somehow.
00:09:37Ah!
00:09:38Ah!
00:09:39Good morning, gents.
00:09:40Permit me to offer you a prospectus of our new patent high-pressure,
00:09:43hollow-ground, steel-engraved, rigid-framed, ball-bearing windmill.
00:09:46Each one guaranteed...
00:09:51Ah!
00:09:52Good morning, Mary.
00:09:53Good morning, Mrs. Knox.
00:09:55Good morning, Mary.
00:09:56Good morning.
00:09:57Has the stage arrived yet?
00:09:58I'm expecting my father.
00:09:59Not yet.
00:10:00Now allow me to offer you a catalog.
00:10:02Has that boy come?
00:10:04Has that bunch of doc arrived from the range?
00:10:06I'm looking for my son.
00:10:08Not yet.
00:10:09Now allow me to offer you a catalog.
00:10:11Here comes the stage now.
00:10:17Get out of the way, boys.
00:10:18Move back, move back.
00:10:27Well, well, well, what's going on?
00:10:29Good morning, Mr. Chrisman.
00:10:30Glad to have you back.
00:10:31How are you?
00:10:32Still going strong?
00:10:33Yes, sirree.
00:10:34You know what?
00:10:35Hello, honey.
00:10:36Oh, hello, father.
00:10:37It's so good to have you home again.
00:10:39We came to meet you with the buggy.
00:10:41Oh, did you?
00:10:42Hello, Mark.
00:10:43Oh.
00:10:44Oh, where's Clint?
00:10:45We'll be here at any minute now.
00:10:47What's the news for the east, Mr. Chrisman?
00:10:49What about the California mail?
00:10:50Well, boys, it's decided.
00:10:52The Pony Express is going through.
00:10:54We've got to get the mail to California and get it there fast.
00:10:57How are you going to do it?
00:10:59My firm, Majors Waddell and Russell,
00:11:01Majors Waddell and Russell are going to give their service.
00:11:03We're going to get the mail from St. Joe to Sacramento in less than ten days.
00:11:07Ten days?
00:11:08That's why you can't do that, sir.
00:11:10It's going to be done.
00:11:12Howdy, sir.
00:11:13I'm a reporter from the Missouri State Democrat.
00:11:16Would you mind giving me some details of your enterprise?
00:11:19Well, to begin with, we're going to call this service the Pony Express.
00:11:23The Pony Express?
00:11:24Well, that's a good name to call it by.
00:11:26There'll be 190 stations spread across the country.
00:11:28We'll need 80 of the keenest and hardest-riding men in the West for its riders
00:11:32and 500 of the best-blooded American horses for its riding stock.
00:11:36Say, here come some of your stock now, Mr. Chrisman.
00:11:40Hello, Mom.
00:11:42Hello.
00:11:44And Mary.
00:11:46Oh, God, you look great.
00:11:48You look great yourself.
00:11:50And you.
00:11:52And you.
00:11:54And you.
00:11:56And you.
00:11:58And you.
00:12:00And you.
00:12:02And you.
00:12:04And you.
00:12:06And you.
00:12:08And you yourself
00:12:10Sweet Applejack right out of the barrel by Christmas.
00:12:16Hello, Mr. Chrisman.
00:12:17Hello, Clint.
00:12:18Hey, did you get what you went after in Washington?
00:12:20Yes, Clint.
00:12:21The press is going through.
00:12:23I want to talk to you about that.
00:12:24I'd like to be the first to volunteer.
00:12:28And get them in the Oberlin corrals before they kick this town to pieces.
00:12:32I guess you're right at that.
00:12:38So you work on the Missouri State, do you know a fellow that works on that paper for
00:12:47the NEMA line?
00:12:51You wouldn't let Clint join the Pony Express.
00:12:53Why not?
00:12:54Why because, well just because.
00:12:57Well that depends on whatever you and Martha say about that honey, but I'm going to need
00:13:01men like Clint.
00:13:05Don't you, Mary?
00:13:12You know I do.
00:13:13Yes, I guess I do.
00:13:16I loved his father.
00:13:17That is going to be dangerous.
00:13:19I don't like the idea of Clint going.
00:13:21No, Mary.
00:13:22We women of the West are not afraid.
00:13:24Where our men go, we follow.
00:13:27Do you understand?
00:13:28Yes.
00:13:30Yes, I understand.
00:13:36Well come now and help me do the shopping, and we'll have a very special dinner for your
00:13:40father and Clint tonight.
00:14:00Now my good people, the time has come when boats are going without sails.
00:14:15The time will come when wagons will go without horses, and when machines will skim through
00:14:19the air like birds.
00:14:21And in the meantime, what you need is bigger and better windmills.
00:14:25Hey, I bought one of your windmills and it wouldn't work.
00:14:29Well I guaranteed it to work on the Swanee River.
00:14:32Now you take it back there, and if it don't work, you'll get your money back.
00:14:56Just a minute, young man.
00:14:59Can I interest you in one of our new windmills?
00:15:07If I needed one, I'd just hire you and put you in a field and let you spout hot air.
00:15:11Now see here, young man.
00:15:13Take your paw off of my shoulder.
00:15:17And don't ever do that again unless you want to find out what a period means.
00:15:22Now hold this.
00:15:30If I thought he meant that, he means he punctuates his words with bullets.
00:15:36The pay for a phony express rider isn't high.
00:15:39It's $50 to $100 a month and found, depending on the danger of the route.
00:15:44Well I'm asking for the hardest relay.
00:15:47What's your name?
00:15:48Ace Carter.
00:15:49How old are you?
00:15:51I'm over 21, I reckon.
00:15:53Where are you from?
00:15:56Arkansas country, around Fort Smith.
00:15:59Carry any credentials?
00:16:01Yeah, these.
00:16:04May I have them?
00:16:13You're quite handy with your six guns.
00:16:15Well I really didn't try.
00:16:17What do you call that?
00:16:20Well that's called a border roll.
00:16:22I sort of figured a man riding a phony express, six is full would be a good hand to draw to.
00:16:32One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:16:40Oh I see.
00:16:41Of course I didn't count the Indians.
00:16:47Well, I don't know.
00:16:52I've just about decided that I've been insulted.
00:16:55I'm a man of peace, but when I get my dander up I'm a rip tailed roller from Colorado Canyon.
00:17:00I'm a diamond back with ten rattles and a button.
00:17:04I'm a gila monster, a two tailed scorpion, a tarantula, all rolled up into one.
00:17:09I'm a curly wolf, and when I howl, wahoo, wahoo, wahoo.
00:17:17Whoa, wait a minute, don't shoot, don't shoot.
00:17:20Clint, someone just went in there and...
00:17:24If I didn't have a shooter in there than that, I'd run.
00:17:31I'm going to wait, I'm going to percolate him.
00:17:34Hey, Wendy, throw it at him, you'll do better.
00:17:40There's that south pass running to Cheyenne.
00:17:43That's the one I'd like to have.
00:17:45That's the most dangerous stretch of country on the route.
00:17:48Why do you want that particular run?
00:17:52That's a man's job, and the rider will have to take a man's chances.
00:17:57That south pass country is yours.
00:17:59It is?
00:18:01I'd like to have a man on that relay I know a little more about.
00:18:04You may be a good rider, you may be handy with a gun.
00:18:07In fact, you might be just a little too quick on the trigger.
00:18:10Listen, Mr. Christmas...
00:18:11I don't know anything about you except what you've told me.
00:18:14I'd like a little time to think it over.
00:18:17When?
00:18:19Say, an hour.
00:18:22All right, I'll be around.
00:18:28And if you do throw it at him, Wendy, be sure you don't miss him.
00:18:33Why don't you watch where you're going?
00:18:35Sorry, I didn't see you.
00:18:37Well, take a good look.
00:18:39You think you'll know me when you see me again?
00:18:41With that face? Why not?
00:18:45Seems to me you take up an awful lot of room for a young fellow.
00:18:49Any objections?
00:18:50Not if you'll step aside and let me through that door.
00:18:59Well?
00:19:13Don't be scared. It ain't even loaded.
00:19:17Well, put it away.
00:19:21I'm sorry, but I can't take you.
00:19:24Why not?
00:19:25I think too much of your mother.
00:19:27She'd never forgive me.
00:19:29Well, you have been many nice to Mom and me.
00:19:33Took us in when we came off the planes after...
00:19:35But I'm disappointed.
00:19:37I sort of figured on this.
00:19:38It isn't the money so much,
00:19:40but as being a part of the greatest thing that ever happened in the West.
00:19:44The Pony Express.
00:19:46Too bad, Clint.
00:19:47I'd like to have you.
00:19:49But that's the way it stands.
00:19:52I'll drive home, Mrs. Locke.
00:19:57Now, you just get right in the buggy and wait here,
00:19:59because I want to speak to your father.
00:20:01All right.
00:20:10Permit me, madam.
00:20:16Thank you, my boy.
00:20:18You're a stranger in St. Joe, aren't you?
00:20:20That's right.
00:20:22Where do you come from?
00:20:24Oh, Southwest.
00:20:27Well, thank you again.
00:20:29Perfectly all right.
00:20:35Is that your mother?
00:20:38You live here about?
00:20:41I don't tell me you're deaf and dumb.
00:20:43Oh, no, I can talk.
00:20:46Then there's nothing I can say to change your mind?
00:20:48No, Clint.
00:20:49But you'll be doing your part here
00:20:51in providing the stock for the Pony Express.
00:20:57Excuse me, George.
00:20:59Mom.
00:21:01Mr. Christin won't give me that job I counted on.
00:21:03Why not?
00:21:05Well, partly on your account,
00:21:07and then there's Mary.
00:21:09George, the Pony Express is bigger than any woman or her son
00:21:13or his sweetheart.
00:21:15Mary and I have talked that over, and we've decided.
00:21:19You've promised the people of this nation
00:21:21something which they think is impossible,
00:21:23and you've got to make good on that promise.
00:21:26But it'll take the best men you can get.
00:21:29There'll be times when bravery and courage will carry on,
00:21:33and when the bodies of your men have stood
00:21:35more than human flesh can endure,
00:21:37when they'll have to ride through fire and flood
00:21:40and over mountains and blazing deserts.
00:21:43But this war against time must be won.
00:21:47The mail must go through.
00:21:54And so, George, I'm asking you to give my son a chance.
00:22:00And if I had my other son, I'd gladly give him too.
00:22:06Flint, the son of such a mother won't fail the Pony Express.
00:22:12I'm going to enlist you here and now.
00:22:18To each rider of the Pony Express,
00:22:20the company gives one of these.
00:22:25A Bible?
00:22:26Yes.
00:22:27Will you repeat the words you'll find printed on the flyleaf?
00:22:36I do hereby swear that while I am in the employ of the Pony Express,
00:22:41I will be faithful to my duties and so direct all my acts
00:22:45as to keep the confidence of my employers.
00:22:48So help me God.
00:22:56Thanks, Mr. Chrisman.
00:22:58But what's the harm in telling me where you live?
00:23:01Why do you want to know?
00:23:03Why do you want to know?
00:23:05I'd like to come over and see you.
00:23:07I'm afraid you'd be wasting your time.
00:23:09I'm already engaged.
00:23:11I might be able to make you change your mind.
00:23:14I don't think so.
00:23:16You see, I'm very much in love.
00:23:18What?
00:23:20I've just hired the first rider for the Pony Express.
00:23:23Congratulations.
00:23:29See you later, kid.
00:23:31Well then, men, I'm ready to take your applications in order.
00:23:34Come here, Clint.
00:23:38Well, now, you've got what you've always wanted.
00:23:40Meaning which?
00:23:41The kiss or the job?
00:23:43I won't tangle with him while his women folks are around.
00:23:50Goodbye.
00:23:55Did he say anything to you, Murray?
00:23:57No, Clint, he didn't say anything.
00:24:02You get the horse, Clint, and we'll wait for you.
00:24:04All right, Mom.
00:24:07Well, Crisman, make up your mind.
00:24:10Well, I've decided to give the run you asked for to another man.
00:24:14But perhaps we can get together on another run.
00:24:18No, thank you.
00:24:32So you're one of those Sunday school fellows, eh?
00:24:36Might not do you any harm to learn something about this.
00:24:39Well, you got my job.
00:24:41But I'll be meeting up with you again sometime.
00:24:44It's all right with me.
00:24:45Maybe it won't be.

00:32:31Now we'll be late getting in the South Pass.
00:32:35Your ancestor's too sweet, aren't you, Mary?
00:32:38Well, it's been a long time since I've seen him.
00:32:41And think how surprised he'll be.
00:32:43He didn't expect it for another month.
00:32:46Now just a minute, boys, and I'll tell you how to do this.
00:32:49I'll help you, only I'm too light for heavy work.
00:32:51Now wait a minute.
00:32:52Less wind and more brawn.
00:32:54Get to work.
00:33:01I guess we can cut around it now, can't we?
00:33:14Yeah, I can make it all right now.
00:33:24Okay now, Martha, I guess we can get rolling again.
00:33:28Stay right where you are and don't turn around.
00:33:39Now that goes for anyone else who tries to look at me.
00:33:44Only the next time I'll shoot to kill.
00:33:50Driver, throw that express box down on the other side.
00:33:54Hurry up.
00:34:07Now you passengers stand in close to the coach
00:34:11and drop your valuables on the ground
00:34:13and don't look back.
00:34:30Old woman, I told you not to look back.
00:34:42Why not coach and get in quick?
00:34:54You men help pick up that wounded messenger.
00:35:17Now get going.
00:35:45Now get going.
00:36:05Now get going.
00:36:27Now get going.
00:36:56Now get going.
00:37:06I wonder what the matter is today.
00:37:08Oh, I don't know.
00:37:09Maybe it's a broken axle.
00:37:11Let us hope that it's nothing worse.
00:37:14What do you mean, a hold up?
00:37:18I'll be along in a minute.
00:37:39Well, what's the matter?
00:37:41Bogey!
00:37:42Bogey?
00:37:43Hell, that's a do.
00:37:44It's a short way back to Rome.
00:37:45Well, that's the third time in a month.
00:37:47Yeah, they got me in the shoulder.
00:37:49And he got me for $200.
00:37:57Yeah, right there.
00:38:20What happened, Clint?
00:38:29Well, hello, Marley.
00:38:30Hello, Clint.
00:38:31And Marley.
00:38:38Who did this, Clint?
00:38:41If I knew, do you think I'd be standing here?
00:38:43Threw a jerk line across the gully and threw me like a steer.
00:38:46Never saw him at all.
00:38:48That's funny.
00:38:50What's funny about it?
00:38:52Nothing except the stage being held up about the same time.
00:38:56No.
00:38:57Stage held up?
00:38:58Yes, and it looked like the same umbre done both jobs.
00:39:02He robbed me of $200.
00:39:04What'd he look like?
00:39:05You never got a look at him.
00:39:07Well, get after him.
00:39:08Lynch him.
00:39:09You won't have to look very far.
00:39:15What do you mean?
00:39:19Nothing in particular.
00:39:21Clint, your mother saw him.
00:39:24Did you see his face, Mom?
00:39:26Yes.
00:39:27Could you identify him?
00:39:28Yes.
00:39:31Wait a minute.
00:39:32Wait a minute, men.
00:39:33Wait a minute.
00:39:35Talk's cheap, but you've got to get the man before you can hang him.
00:39:39And there'll be no lynching.
00:39:41Men who resort to lynch law are as bad as the outlaws themselves.
00:39:46I've been sent out here to put an end to this sort of thing.
00:39:48This man must be caught, yes, but he must be dealt with according to law.
00:39:53Did you get anything of yours, Mary?
00:39:55Oh, I got a ranch in Missouri.
00:40:01Hey, I'll take this horse.
00:40:03Shoot for me and ride to the next station.
00:40:04Can't do it, Clint.
00:40:05You've been in the saddle eight hours now.
00:40:07Now you'd only hold me back.
00:40:08Oh, one of you boys show Mom and Max where my cabin is.
00:40:13I hope he brings back my $1,000.
00:40:15How much?
00:40:18$5.

00:48:43HA!
00:48:46Come on and take him. Which one of you is going to be the first to step up?
00:48:56Get in there.
00:48:58Now go back where you came from. When Mr. Christman gets here with Judge Beasley, I'll
00:49:21turn the road agent over to him. I'm hanging for it. Stay back before I let you have her.
00:49:36You wouldn't do that. Oh, wouldn't I? Life is just as sweet to me as it is to you. I don't bluff,
00:49:45and I mean what I say. You take one more step, and I'll kill you.
00:49:55You know, that shot I cut Steve's rope with was the last load in those pistols. Give them to me.
00:50:15Leave him with me for a few moments. But, Mom. You've always done as I asked you to. Leave me.
00:50:27I think I understand.
00:50:45What's troubling you, Clint?
00:50:55I love you, Clint. I gave up a great deal to come here to be with you,
00:51:00to marry you and make a home for you. Don't you think I have the right to know?
00:51:05Yes, Mary. I think you have that right. There's something I didn't want to tell you,
00:51:13but that boy in there is my brother. And in knowing that, you brought him in.
00:51:26It took a lot of courage to do that, Clint.
00:51:29Is there anything I can do for you before you have to go?
00:51:34No, Mary. Are you afraid to die?
00:51:40Well, I can't exactly say I'm pleased about it.
00:51:46I guess it has to happen today, tomorrow, sometimes.
00:51:52Isn't there someone you'd like to send some word to?
00:52:03I haven't got anybody to send any word to.
00:52:07Well, I'm afraid I don't have anybody to send any word to.
00:52:11Well, I'm afraid I don't have anybody to send any word to.
00:52:13You'd like to send some word to?
00:52:19I haven't got anybody to send any word to.
00:52:22Your mother, perhaps?
00:52:25Mother?
00:52:29If I had a mother, I don't guess she'd exactly be proud of me right now, would she?
00:52:35Oh, anything would be better than not knowing where you are, or whether you were alive or dead.
00:52:43If I were your son, would you want to know?
00:52:50Yes.
00:53:09Why did you do that?
00:53:11Because...
00:53:15you might be my son.
00:53:21Oh, no.
00:53:24No, you're... you're dead wrong, ma'am.
00:53:27Your son's in there.
00:53:29I'm glad I didn't kill him.
00:53:31That little Bible, it saved his life.
00:53:34And that prayer in it. It's a right pretty one, too.
00:53:38I wonder where I heard that before.
00:53:41I don't know.
00:53:44I guess it doesn't matter.
00:53:47There'd be a lot of folks back in Missouri.
00:53:50I'm glad when that Pony Express brings word back that H. Carter's trumped these last tricks.
00:53:55What did you say your name was?
00:53:58Ace. It's all I've ever known.
00:54:02Yeah.
00:54:04Ace.
00:54:07Ace!
00:54:09Ace!
00:54:11Clint!
00:54:13All ready, Clint. Bring the prisoner.
00:54:16You'll have to come, too, Martha.
00:54:19You're the principal witness.
00:54:34Well done.
00:54:36Well done.
00:54:42Come on, George. All you gotta do is pronounce him Gilliam.
00:54:45Turn him over to us.
00:54:47We'll take care of him.
00:54:50Silence!
00:54:58By the authority invested in me by the federal government of the United States,
00:55:04I now declare this court to be in session.
00:55:12Prisoner, you are charged with being a road agent,
00:55:16robbing the U.S. mail and other unknown crimes,
00:55:20any of which are punishable by death.
00:55:23Are you guilty or not guilty?
00:55:34Not guilty.
00:55:37First witness, take the stand.
00:55:43Hold up your right hand.
00:55:45Swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to help you, God.
00:55:47I do.
00:55:48Sit down.
00:55:50Is that the man that robbed the coach?
00:55:56I can't swear to it. I've never seen his face.
00:55:59Next witness!
00:56:01And I was standing, so I didn't turn around to look at him.
00:56:04Well, I couldn't exactly swear, but if he is, he's the fellow that got my five thousand...
00:56:09five dollars.
00:56:11The road agent had his guns on us from the back.
00:56:13He threatened to shoot if we turned around.
00:56:15I was afraid he might do that and hit one of the women,
00:56:17so I can't identify him positively.
00:56:20I was knocked to my horse and fell unconscious.
00:56:23I didn't actually see him rob the mail.
00:56:29Mrs. Knox,
00:56:30when the road agent held up the stage,
00:56:33you were the only one who saw his face.
00:56:36Is that right?
00:56:38Yes.
00:56:40Mrs. Knox,
00:56:41look at the prisoner.
00:56:45Is that the man?
00:56:48No.
00:56:49No.
00:56:58He's guilty, Judge, and we know it.
00:57:00What kind of a court is this?
00:57:01That's what I want to know. What kind of a court is this?
00:57:04According to law, a man is innocent until he is proven guilty.
00:57:09Wait a second, Judge.
00:57:11There's another witness.
00:57:13Well, what do you know?
00:57:15I saw that road agent before he ringed me
00:57:18and he rode a pinto horse.
00:57:20Pinto?
00:57:23Mrs. Knox rides a pinto horse.
00:57:25Hold on.
00:57:30Judge?
00:57:41I'm guilty.
00:57:43I did both jobs.
00:57:44I robbed the mail and
00:57:46stole his horse.
00:57:48The pinto.
00:57:53All right, get your boys to go ahead and
00:57:55get it over with.
00:57:56All right, come on.
00:57:57Wait a minute.
00:57:59Before you do this thing,
00:58:00I've got something to say.
00:58:02This boy is my brother.
00:58:04What?
00:58:05And that's why my mother wouldn't identify him.
00:58:08And that's why I didn't kill him when I had him cornered in a bad land.
00:58:11That's all right, Kent.
00:58:12We'll take care of that for you.
00:58:13Steve.
00:58:15Seems to me you stood in this very spot
00:58:16not too many months ago
00:58:17with a rope around your neck.
00:58:19Accused of horse stealing.
00:58:21If the boys hadn't have given you a chance,
00:58:22where would you have been?
00:58:24Well, they couldn't prove nothing.
00:58:25Maybe not.
00:58:27There's just as much excuse for my brother
00:58:28as there is for you.
00:58:30Perhaps more.
00:58:32I'm not going to tell you fellas
00:58:33anything I can't prove.
00:58:35But I am going to tell you
00:58:36something you don't know.
00:58:38Haze and I were kids
00:58:39when our family got married.
00:58:40We were held up and robbed.
00:58:42Our father was murdered.
00:58:44Haze here was stolen by the outlaws.
00:58:46He never had anything wrong.
00:58:48That's true, boys.
00:58:49I have too.
00:58:51I'm not asking this chance for his sake
00:58:53or for my own.
00:58:55But for the sake of our mother.
00:58:58She never had the chance
00:59:00or he would have learned the difference
00:59:01between right and wrong.
00:59:03If things would have happened differently
00:59:05I might have been in Ace Carter's boots
00:59:07he might have been in mine.
00:59:08Well, I...
00:59:10Well!
00:59:11How do we know
00:59:12if we turn him loose
00:59:13that he won't do the same thing
00:59:14right over again?
00:59:15You have my word.
00:59:16And mine.
00:59:17I'll find a job for him.
00:59:18All right.
00:59:19Case dismissed.
00:59:27Look, boys.
00:59:28Here comes the pony and Spratt.
00:59:29Look, boys.
00:59:30Here comes the pony and Spratt.
