00:00Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up!
00:08This is the story of twenty-six men who rode the Arizona Territory.
00:16High is the glory of twenty-six men whose courage helped to build the Territory.
00:23Twenty-six men who saddled up and then rode out to answer duty's call.
00:31Twenty-six men who lived to ride again and fight for the rights and the liberty of all.
00:38This is the story of twenty-six men enforcing law within the Territory.
00:46Praise be the glory of twenty-six men who rode the Arizona Territory.
00:53Ride on! Ride on! Ride on!
01:05Twenty-six men, carefully chosen for their courage and ability, formed the Arizona Rangers.
01:10Fame and public acclaim was not their objective.
01:13This is perhaps why the story of these twenty-six men has never been told until now.
01:25If anybody tries to follow us, you're going to get shot.
01:30Just like that.
01:43Bang! Bang! Bang!
02:13Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
02:29Well, it went slick as a trout. Now we'll move south.
02:34Why'd you shoot that last fellow, Walt?
02:37Just a warning. Anybody afraid to kill a man shouldn't be in this business.
02:40Won't they look harder for you, Walt?
02:42This territory is bigger than Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky combined.
02:45Just plain looking will do them no good.
02:47How about that new low outfit?
02:48You know how many there is?
02:5026.
02:5126 men when they need 2,600.
02:54Well, we're on our way.
02:55Plenty of petty cash, and we'll have a good time in Nogales,
02:58just like I promised.
03:00We'll stick to the river.
03:01No hurry until we cut back to the main road.
03:12Telegram, Captain Reining.
03:28Thanks, Corporal.
03:32Seems like I get these things in my sleep.
03:34Yeah.
03:36Just shot him down in cold blood.
03:38Do you know who this Walter Handy is?
03:41He's got a line on him.
03:43Say, Captain, I got a letter from a friend up north
03:46that'd like to be a ranger.
03:48He's willing to get shot at for $50 a month
03:50and furnish his own horse and arms?
03:52He's not afraid of a thing.
03:54We can't use that kind.
03:56He'd sure like a chance.
03:57And I'd sure like to give him a chance.
04:00But the budget will pay for just 26 of us and no more.
04:04Well, if there should be an opening, Captain.
04:07Don't even mention it.
04:42Good luck, fellas.
04:43Thanks, Captain.
04:44Bye, boss.
04:46See you later, Captain.
04:48See you, boys.
04:49Bye.
04:51Hello, boys.
04:52Tired?
04:53Nothing in a 72-hour sleep couldn't fix.
04:55We caught Lopez working at the Smelly Cook shack.
04:57He threw a skillet of hot grease and otherwise
04:59resisted arrest.
05:01Burned Foster on the leg.
05:02What did you do with him?
05:03Well, when he started resisting us,
05:05we were forced to resist him.
05:07Turned his body over to the sheriff
05:08with all personal effects.
05:10is your reward water handy handy I've heard that name someplace
05:19well I'm going to get plenty of water on the inside and plenty on the outside you
05:23come over the barbershop for
05:24a bath but I see the doctor first about the handy gang
05:31maybe certain to head south past the San Xavier reservation probably take that
05:36back road through Santa Cruz Canyon right then cut back to the main trail at the
05:40Tumacaca remission show some speed and cross the border around the gullies this is
05:44what we'll do they can't be very far down so we'll hurry and pick up on the goddess
05:48road north of town then head the trail along the Santa Cruz River what if they take
05:52the main road actually that would be the smart thing to do but they don't sound
05:55smart to me just nasty it won't be
05:58a chase then it'll be more of an interception of bright and early again in the
06:02morning sorry it's bright and early now you stay here Foster and get that like
06:06fixed it's not so bad no place around here for heroes the game leg might make the
06:12difference and he needs any special instructions just take care of that like maybe

06:57ago so anything you can tell me about him bad he likes the girls but he's mean the

14:10That's.
14:11♪
14:36He was unarmed.
14:37Barrel's full of .45.
14:40Doesn't make sense.
14:41Three men.
14:42One woman.
14:44Two others go back that way.
14:46Probably the two we got.
14:47From the looks of the dried blood,
14:49I'd say it happened about an hour ago.
14:50It was handy, all right.
14:52He's got a woman along.
14:53Shooting down an unarmed driver.
14:56Others take trail back that way.
14:58Reach!
14:59♪
15:02Why did you have to kill him?
15:03I ought to gun you all down.
15:05You've got it wrong, mister.
15:07We're the law.
15:08We're after the men who did this.
15:10You're coming with me.
15:12My wife's gonna identify you men as horse thieves.
15:15♪
15:18Are those your horses?
15:19No.
15:20If we were who you think we are,
15:23we'd leave you on the ground with him, right?
15:24Maybe.
15:25Let me see your badges.
15:27We don't carry them.
15:29Who is the dead man?
15:31Alberto.
15:32Holds water for me.
15:33Or did.
15:34I got a mine over those hills.
15:36You better take care of things.
15:38♪
15:40Sorry.
15:41♪
15:56Horses out of sight.
15:58Good.
15:59Better keep a watch at the door.
16:00Got this thing together.
16:01How's about a little warm food?
16:03No good.
16:05Smoke.
16:08How you feel, honey?
16:09Not so good.
16:11Why don't you go on?
16:13Well, because I like you.
16:15And I promised you a time and no galleys.
16:17But I could meet you there later.
16:18Yeah, Walt, that's a good idea.
16:20She could meet us there later.
16:21No, just settle down here a couple of hours.
16:24We'll rest a bit and then we'll be on our way.
16:26Eh, kiddo?
16:27I don't know, Walt.
16:30♪
16:45Well, pretty fresh.
16:49Can't figure why they'd do this.
16:51Must be the horses here.
16:52They can't be very far ahead.
16:54Come.
16:55♪
17:17Lev, hold up.
17:19You stay here.
17:20I look around.
17:21Sincerely.
17:22Yeah.
17:23Don't get lost.
17:26Funny man.
17:27Ha ha ha.
17:32Ah, no galleys.
17:34That's one place a man can really enjoy himself.
17:37Some of the girls will be surprised
17:38at what I brought along, too.
17:42I still think we ought to do what she says.
17:44I'd have felt the same way when I was your age.
17:46But you got to learn not to worry.
17:48Things you worry about never happen anyway.
17:50Well, sweetheart, you ready to move?
17:52I can't.
17:54I can't make it.
17:56Well, in a couple hours, we'll make some coffee
17:57and warm up some food.
17:58That'll fix you up.
18:00If she isn't better in a couple hours,
18:01we'll move along anyway.
18:02But we'll lose ours.
18:03And they're looking for us now.
18:05So we both lose ours.
18:10Four horses hide behind.
18:12Four people inside.
18:13We've got them.
18:14Here.
18:15We shoot place full of holes.
18:17You sure a woman's around?
18:18You betcha.
18:20Then we can't shoot them out.
18:21Too easy to kill her.
18:22Sure, kill them all.
18:23Look, Cinzioni, she may be no better than she should be,
18:26but she's still a woman.
18:27Oh, bad Indian, bad squire.
18:29I'd kill them.
18:30White people no different.
18:32If there was some way to bring them out in the open,
18:33we could spare the girl.
18:35Maybe burn Hogan down.
18:39That's it.
18:40Look, Cinzioni.
18:41Go back to that mine and borrow three sticks of dynamite
18:43and a burlap sack from Mr. Beldum.
18:45Fine, fine.
18:46Cinzioni, he get 10 sticks.
18:48Three's plenty.
18:49Now scoot.
18:54Break up some wood and let's get a fire started.
18:56If it was with my own mother, I
18:57wouldn't be hanging around here.
18:59In that case, I wouldn't either, Arch, but she isn't.
19:10Still here.
19:11They're cooking something.
19:13Smells good.
19:14Yeah.
19:15Here.
19:16What's that smell?
19:17I don't know.
19:18I don't know either.
19:19It's the smell of the fire.
19:20It's the smell of the fire.
19:21It's the smell of the fire.
19:23You got a dynamite cap?
19:24Yeah.
19:25I'll take it.
19:29Here.
19:30Here.
19:31Here.
19:32Here.
19:33Get about 10 pounds of sand for me, Cinzioni.
19:3510 pounds.
19:38Think three sticks ought to do it?
19:40If you take a chance with any more.
19:44Well, looks like nobody's going to call on us.
19:46That's why we ought to get going.
19:47I told you in a few hours.
19:49You hear that, Maria?
19:50You better be feeling like it, because we're
19:52going to travel.
19:53I hear you, Walt.
20:06There's a musician in the crowd.
20:09Something about a harmonica always makes me sad.
20:12Train whistles do it to me.
20:15I'll need a canteen.
20:22When I was scout for General Miles, we do this too.
20:25Only we put in rocks.
20:27Make better.
20:28I get some.
20:29No rocks, Cinzioni.
20:30And you were never a scout for General Miles.
20:33That is right.
20:34That was my brother.
20:36Your cousin.
20:37We were both raised together.
20:40Should have rocks in the bomb.
20:43Then I sneak up like quiet shadow.
20:46Light fuse, and then throw bomb through window.
20:51You ever hear of a noisy shadow, Travis?
20:53Just Cinzioni here.
20:54I was raised in St. Louis.
20:56We always thought Indians were grim and silent.
20:58Grim?
20:59Never laughed.
21:00Nothing to laugh about.
21:02But I laugh anyhow.
21:05And you talk anyhow.
21:07You got a leather thong or a piece of rope?
21:09Why no rock?
21:11Because that woman's still in there,
21:12and I don't want to kill her.
21:14Something special about woman?
21:16That's what I was taught.
21:18Oh, yeah.
21:19Those white woman teach white children.
21:23What about bomb?
21:24Cinzioni, will you just be patient?
21:29Well, we're ready.
21:33You're a deputy.
21:49See me light the fuse and swing the bomb.
21:52If anyone comes out of the cabin before it goes off, shoot.
21:55Give your pistol a full load?
21:58Six.
21:59Watch for the signal.
22:00All right.
22:01Let's go.
22:02Let's go.
22:03Let's go.
22:04Let's go.

22:19Let's go.
22:20All right.
22:21Let's go.
22:24Lets go.
22:28While we're waving them off, look inside and run up that front door.
22:38Watch out guys.
22:39Give me a hand.
22:42Watch where you're going.
22:45Watch where you're going.
22:46Yeah, where are you going?
22:48Sick, eh?
22:49You just trying to sneak out, that's all.
22:51You've been lying to me all along.
22:52Please, Juan, let me go.
22:54Yeah, I'll let you go.
