Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,019 --> 00:00:04,360
So I sent a telegram to your supplier in
Chicago.
2
00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:09,160
Did you tell him I paid the price we
agreed on? I warned him that you held up
3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,160
your end of the bargain.
4
00:00:10,180 --> 00:00:12,600
I told him that your contract is legally
enforceable.
5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,680
He said your fabric will be here in a
week.
6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,620
That's great, Matthew. That's just
great.
7
00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:22,460
I suppose you're going to want to be
paid for this.
8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,240
Just the cost of sending a telegram.
9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,100
That's really fair.
10
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:30,980
I'll tell you what.
11
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:33,800
Next time you're in the store, I'll give
you a soda.
12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,100
Perhaps you should start charging for
your work, Matthew.
13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,580
You provide an important service, just
like Michaela does.
14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
It's not the same. Oh, yes, it is.
15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,820
You help people just like I do.
16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,520
You're a real doctor.
17
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,220
I mean, you passed a test. There's not a
test to become a lawyer.
18
00:00:54,340 --> 00:00:56,420
You've got to help me.
19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,600
That seems to be the problem, Mr...
Exner.
20
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:01,060
Rudy Exner.
21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,019
Got a man tailing me. I want you to stop
him.
22
00:01:05,019 --> 00:01:06,020
What's he tailing you for?
23
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,160
Because he's no better than a bounty
hunter.
24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Are you wanted by the law?
25
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:11,200
I paid for time.
26
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:13,280
I just got out of jail.
27
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,920
20 years for robbery.
28
00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:19,040
This man doesn't seem to think I've done
enough. But he ain't got no legal rack,
29
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,080
like I said.
30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,020
I paid my time and then some.
31
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:28,460
This man won't leave me alone. He
follows me everywhere. He means to kill
32
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:32,590
Well, if what you say is true, mister,
I'll do what I can.
33
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:34,230
Perhaps Matthew can help you.
34
00:01:34,430 --> 00:01:35,430
He's a lawyer.
35
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:38,450
Don't know what a lawyer can do.
36
00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:40,470
Well, it could get you restrained in
order.
37
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:44,790
Make it legal, he'd have to stay away
from you. I can enforce it. So can any
38
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:45,790
other sheriff.
39
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:46,870
Well, thanks.
40
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:49,510
Nice to come across a friendly town like
this.
41
00:01:49,890 --> 00:01:51,030
Way to keep it that way.
42
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:53,750
Don't worry about me. I don't want to go
back to prison.
43
00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:56,330
Worry about that man on my tail.
44
00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:58,230
Get to work on that right away for you.
45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,120
Who is it that's following you?
46
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,560
I see him right there.
47
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:13,100
Well, that's Marshal Birch.
48
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,280
You know him?
49
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:20,880
Yeah. And you know he'll kill a man soon
as you look at him.
50
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,780
Keep him away from me.
51
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,980
So what did Exner tell you?
52
00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:49,420
Said that you were tailing him for a
crime he already did time for?
53
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:52,380
20 years for killing two men and robbing
a coach.
54
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,000
He didn't say anything about killing
anyone.
55
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,600
About the gold.
56
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,800
From the stagecoach?
57
00:03:57,660 --> 00:03:58,660
Never found it.
58
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,180
Robbed a stage somewhere between here
and Soda Springs, so it must be buried
59
00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:03,159
around here.
60
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,820
So now that he's released from jail, you
think he's going to get that gold?
61
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,800
Well, the stagecoach company hired me to
find it, and I haven't found it yet.
62
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:12,720
So that's why you're following him,
hoping he'll lead you to it.
63
00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:15,140
Well, I like to finish what I start.
64
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,940
The man's killed two men.
65
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:19,019
Don't tell him what he'll do next.
66
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,160
Why did he only get 20 years?
67
00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:22,380
Should have gone to life.
68
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,480
Should have got executed, but he had a
smart lawyer.
69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,440
You know, lawyers are the only thing a
coyote won't eat.
70
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:39,320
You think maybe Exner's telling the
truth?
71
00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:42,080
Birch has a pretty bad reputation.
72
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:46,410
Last year, when Matthew was sheriff and
we tracked the Starrett gang with
73
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:50,550
Marshal Birch, we discovered that his
reputation isn't really justified.
74
00:04:51,730 --> 00:04:52,830
So he ain't trigger happy?
75
00:04:55,250 --> 00:04:56,250
No.
76
00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:58,810
I thought I was going to have to gun
down that whole gang.
77
00:05:00,230 --> 00:05:01,230
Birch showed me otherwise.
78
00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:04,850
If Marshal Birch is after Etchner,
there's a good reason for it.
79
00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:14,230
Rebecca? Yeah.
80
00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:19,170
Samson.
81
00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:26,910
I had enough of you following me.
82
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:29,330
You want to shoot me?
83
00:05:42,190 --> 00:05:43,190
That's what you are.
84
00:05:45,370 --> 00:05:46,370
Yellow.
85
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:57,930
What are you waiting to do?
86
00:05:59,470 --> 00:06:00,470
Shoot me in the back?
87
00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:08,170
You see?
88
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:11,310
He knows he ain't got no right to shoot
me.
89
00:06:12,090 --> 00:06:13,090
Remember that!
90
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:29,890
And Marshal Birch didn't say anything?
91
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:34,450
Not a word. All that I could see in his
eyes. I tell you, Rudy Exner is a dead
92
00:06:34,450 --> 00:06:36,510
man. He wouldn't shoot unless he had to.
93
00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:38,210
I wouldn't be so sure of that, kid.
94
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Marshal Elias Birch has had one
obsession his whole career.
95
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,020
Red Hand Rudy.
96
00:06:44,540 --> 00:06:45,620
Why do they call him that?
97
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,060
Because Birch caught Exner with blood on
his hands.
98
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,180
Blood of two innocent men whose lives he
terminated with no more care than you
99
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:54,180
would pinch out a candle.
100
00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:56,980
They never found the unfortunate victims
either.
101
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,740
That's why he wasn't found guilty of
murder.
102
00:07:00,140 --> 00:07:03,460
No corpus delecti, if you'll excuse the
expression, ma 'am.
103
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Ned Springer.
104
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:06,100
Lauren Bray.
105
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:07,880
This here is Brian Cooper.
106
00:07:08,410 --> 00:07:09,490
That's Dorothy Jennings.
107
00:07:09,710 --> 00:07:11,250
She's the editor of the town paper.
108
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:13,370
Ah, a fellow scribe.
109
00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:15,850
Always a pleasure to meet the
competition.
110
00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:17,550
Is your newspaper mixed?
111
00:07:18,450 --> 00:07:19,450
Alas, no.
112
00:07:20,890 --> 00:07:22,090
My name doesn't ring a bell.
113
00:07:22,290 --> 00:07:26,750
Of course it does, Brian. Mr. Springer
writes dime novels. They're very popular
114
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:28,670
with certain people.
115
00:07:29,330 --> 00:07:30,330
You write books?
116
00:07:30,570 --> 00:07:31,790
Indeed I do, Sonny.
117
00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:34,570
Have you never heard of Eagle Eye Ed?
118
00:07:34,910 --> 00:07:36,870
Eagle Eye? You write Eagle Eye Ed?
119
00:07:37,470 --> 00:07:39,170
Oh, those are great stories.
120
00:07:39,790 --> 00:07:41,010
How come I never read them?
121
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:44,070
Oh, he's getting big enough?
122
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:46,270
Yeah, to show him one. Or two.
123
00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:48,210
I'm afraid I don't own any.
124
00:07:48,450 --> 00:07:50,770
Oh. Miss Dorothy's got lots of readers,
too.
125
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:51,970
Sure she does.
126
00:07:52,010 --> 00:07:54,650
This paper must come out, what, once a
month?
127
00:07:55,030 --> 00:07:56,030
Twice a week.
128
00:07:56,090 --> 00:07:57,890
And Miss Dorothy wrote a book about our
town.
129
00:07:58,370 --> 00:08:01,150
I'm sure Mr. Springer isn't interested
in my book, Brian.
130
00:08:01,370 --> 00:08:02,590
Nonsense, Mrs. Jennings.
131
00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:05,130
I'm sure it's a sweet little teacup of a
thing.
132
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,460
And what brings you here, Mr. Springer?
133
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,100
Marshal Birch and his obsession with Red
Hand Rudy.
134
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:16,000
A story that can only end in tragedy.
135
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:18,940
Rape and pillage by the time he's done
with it.
136
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,880
And you're writing a book about it?
137
00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:23,020
With your help, friend.
138
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,340
Seems like you're the man to talk to.
Oh, yeah.
139
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,260
So I understand there was a
confrontation between them right outside
140
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:31,260
establishment. That's right.
141
00:08:31,630 --> 00:08:35,730
Marshal Birch come right up outside my
window, see? And I was... So he blocked
142
00:08:35,730 --> 00:08:37,470
Exeter's path as he was coming out the
door?
143
00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:39,370
Well, not exactly. Close enough.
144
00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:41,130
Go on.
145
00:08:42,190 --> 00:08:45,470
After Sully was pardoned, the federal
government hired him to help set up the
146
00:08:45,470 --> 00:08:46,470
new National Parks.
147
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:49,170
He's in Denver now, talking to the
railroad company.
148
00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:50,390
By the spur line?
149
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:55,350
Anything you need, Marshal Birch, I'll
be happy to help you out. You just come
150
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:58,470
over to my store, Bray's Mercantile.
I'll be happy to help you.
151
00:08:58,910 --> 00:09:00,150
Give credit to...
152
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,780
I don't believe much in credit.
153
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:03,680
Neither do I.
154
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,340
But some of these folks, they insist on
it.
155
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,380
Well, then, I'll be seeing you.
156
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,440
So what about you, son? Why did you give
up that ten star?
157
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,160
Well, I had to make a choice.
158
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,860
Either I was going to help find Solly or
I was going to do the Army's dirty work
159
00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:25,860
for him.
160
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,240
That was really the last straw.
161
00:09:27,989 --> 00:09:30,670
Being sheriff, I felt like I was hurting
people as much as I was helping them.
162
00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:32,130
So what are you doing now?
163
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:35,870
Studying to be a lawyer.
164
00:09:37,770 --> 00:09:38,870
Never cared much for lawyers.
165
00:09:39,650 --> 00:09:40,650
I mean it.
166
00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:42,230
Not the kind of lawyer you're talking
about.
167
00:09:43,410 --> 00:09:46,150
But I started reading about the law to
help Sally get pardoned, and I found out
168
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:48,410
that there are ways you can use the law
to help people.
169
00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:51,170
Matthew's been very helpful to the
people in this town.
170
00:09:51,850 --> 00:09:53,230
He's settled disputes peacefully.
171
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:56,130
In fact, I don't know what we would have
done without his legal research.
172
00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:00,180
The law is kind of like you told me
about a gun.
173
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,720
Don't use it unless you have to.
174
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,240
What are you going to do about Red Hand
Rudy?
175
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Well, that's what they call Mr. Exner.
176
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,360
Well, I'll have to try to catch him
getting the gold.
177
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:15,940
But you can't do anything until he makes
a move.
178
00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:18,520
Maybe I can give him a little push.
179
00:10:26,350 --> 00:10:28,630
my treat. I was finished telling me your
side of the story.
180
00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:29,850
Gotta stay sober.
181
00:10:30,290 --> 00:10:31,290
Got business.
182
00:10:32,590 --> 00:10:33,590
Marshal Birch?
183
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:36,570
Let's just say Birch ain't never gonna
see me again.
184
00:10:41,170 --> 00:10:44,930
You're, uh, going after that gold,
aren't you?
185
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:47,870
What gold?
186
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,760
Exner made it seem like he wasn't, but I
could tell he was going to get that
187
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:12,760
gold.
188
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Are you looking for me?
189
00:11:14,980 --> 00:11:17,800
Exner just went to dig up the gold. He
was riding towards the schoolhouse.
190
00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:20,140
That's right on the old road to Soda
Springs.
191
00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:21,940
Let's tell Daniel.
192
00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:05,600
So this is where you buried the gold.
193
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,460
What about the two men you killed?
Where'd you bury them?
194
00:12:13,540 --> 00:12:18,780
Now you turn around real slow and put
your hands in the air.
195
00:12:24,980 --> 00:12:26,180
I said turn around!
196
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,860
What are you doing here? I'm an
eyewitness. Think of how many books
197
00:12:58,860 --> 00:12:59,679
to sell.
198
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:00,800
He said something. What did he say?
199
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,179
There's no gun.
200
00:13:05,180 --> 00:13:06,560
What do you mean, no gun? I saw a gun.
201
00:13:09,140 --> 00:13:11,720
And where's the gold? There's no gold.
You shot not our man, Marshal.
202
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,960
What a story.
203
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:16,500
He's still alive.
204
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,400
It's all right. It's all right. I'm a
doctor.
205
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:40,560
He's dead.
206
00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:48,940
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you
for your gun, Marshal.
207
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,140
Daniel, he's doing his job. He's
shutting on our man that's murdered.
208
00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:30,230
Judge Blaisdell?
209
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:32,670
Daniel Simon?
210
00:14:32,950 --> 00:14:33,950
Yeah.
211
00:14:34,170 --> 00:14:36,450
Glad you caught me before I got the
matter to you, Sheriff.
212
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:42,030
They got a cattle rust and land dispute
there that could take me to the turn of
213
00:14:42,030 --> 00:14:43,030
the century.
214
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:45,350
Jail's down this way.
215
00:14:47,710 --> 00:14:49,090
You'll be staying across the street.
216
00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:51,090
The gold nugget? No.
217
00:14:52,190 --> 00:14:55,690
I don't see as this should take too long
by the sound of your telegram.
218
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:00,460
Anything else I can get for you?
219
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,480
Sign a telegram?
220
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:06,620
Marshal, listen for what it's worth.
221
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,860
I know you wouldn't lie.
222
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,740
The truth may not matter much.
223
00:15:13,060 --> 00:15:14,220
Truth always matters.
224
00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:18,060
Marshal Birch, this here's the judge.
225
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:22,040
We're old friends, aren't we, Lyon?
226
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:23,260
Judge?
227
00:15:23,980 --> 00:15:26,600
Marshal Birch has brought many a villain
to my court.
228
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,220
He always catches his man, one way or
another.
229
00:15:30,940 --> 00:15:32,080
You got Meadows with you?
230
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,440
Prosecutor Meadows will be here
tomorrow.
231
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,640
As you know, he's a very efficient man.
232
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,720
Now, I'm sorry to see you in this
position, Elias.
233
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,680
What the sheriff told me, your best
course of action is to plead guilty and
234
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,320
throw yourself on the mercy of the
court.
235
00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:52,020
Now, we have a new circuit defender, Mr.
236
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:55,380
Hardway. I'm sure that's what he
recommends, isn't it, Hardway?
237
00:16:02,510 --> 00:16:03,990
I don't think I'll be needing your
defender.
238
00:16:05,410 --> 00:16:06,430
I've got my own lawyer.
239
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:10,110
Matthew Cooper.
240
00:16:21,710 --> 00:16:25,350
The judge said the trial's got to start
right away. He's got cases all over the
241
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:26,910
circuit. He doesn't know when he can get
back here.
242
00:16:27,370 --> 00:16:29,970
Matthew, I know you feel you owe this to
Marshal Birch. Who else is going to
243
00:16:29,970 --> 00:16:30,749
defend him?
244
00:16:30,750 --> 00:16:32,650
The circuit defender said he was going
to plead guilty.
245
00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:36,490
If he can stay sober long enough, you
know that Birch would never shoot a man
246
00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:37,329
cold blood.
247
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,610
Unfortunately, what we believe doesn't
matter. It's what the court believes.
248
00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:43,070
I'm just going to have to make him
believe it.
249
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:45,250
Matthew.
250
00:16:46,050 --> 00:16:50,150
I know I don't have any experience with
this, but you do it all the time.
251
00:16:50,450 --> 00:16:53,570
You step in when a life is on the line,
and you've got to do something that
252
00:16:53,570 --> 00:16:54,570
you've never done before.
253
00:16:55,610 --> 00:16:56,610
I'm going to need your help.
254
00:17:09,770 --> 00:17:14,470
You've got to understand, I've been
through the criminal code on this. Even
255
00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:16,890
being a federal marshal isn't going to
help you.
256
00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:20,010
I shot him in the course of duty. You
mean in self -defense.
257
00:17:21,130 --> 00:17:23,030
I know, and we're going to try that.
258
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:27,369
But that's only going to work if we can
prove that he had a gun. I saw a gun.
259
00:17:27,430 --> 00:17:28,650
We've got to be able to prove it.
260
00:17:30,610 --> 00:17:31,750
I thought you might be hungry.
261
00:17:32,330 --> 00:17:33,330
No, thanks.
262
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:35,130
Thank you.
263
00:17:38,050 --> 00:17:39,050
This is Marshall.
264
00:17:39,790 --> 00:17:41,090
It was real dark out there.
265
00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:47,990
And there was a lot of shadows. It may
be easier for a jury to believe... I
266
00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:48,990
what I saw.
267
00:17:49,450 --> 00:17:50,450
I understand.
268
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:53,890
But you've got to put yourself in the
position of a jury.
269
00:17:54,890 --> 00:17:56,190
There ain't gonna be no jury.
270
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:59,330
I was thinking maybe it could be just
the judge.
271
00:18:00,710 --> 00:18:02,570
You mean in one way of a jury trial?
272
00:18:03,730 --> 00:18:05,350
Judge Blaisdell's an honest man.
273
00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:07,170
He's tough, but he's honest.
274
00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:10,210
And I'm not opposed to putting myself in
his hands.
275
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:26,230
Self -defense is the only way we got a
case.
276
00:18:26,910 --> 00:18:29,170
But I looked around and there's no sign
of a gun anywhere.
277
00:18:29,970 --> 00:18:31,710
Doesn't help the gold wasn't found
either.
278
00:18:33,790 --> 00:18:35,730
What if I were to examine Marshal Birch?
279
00:18:36,730 --> 00:18:38,850
Well, he's getting older, and as I said,
he was dark out there.
280
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:41,090
Perhaps his eyesight's failing.
281
00:18:42,370 --> 00:18:44,730
I'd have to prove that he was getting so
he couldn't do his job anymore.
282
00:18:45,370 --> 00:18:47,810
Well, there's no shame in the physical
degeneration of one's eyesight.
283
00:18:50,830 --> 00:18:52,370
Retiring's better than being hanged for
murder.
284
00:18:53,290 --> 00:18:54,330
He ain't gonna like it.
285
00:18:55,230 --> 00:18:58,830
All I know is that if you're gonna
defend him as well as possible, you have
286
00:18:58,830 --> 00:18:59,669
know the truth.
287
00:18:59,670 --> 00:19:05,290
I knew Exeter was gonna be trouble the
minute I laid eyes on him.
288
00:19:06,129 --> 00:19:07,270
Maybe Birch is right.
289
00:19:08,350 --> 00:19:10,110
Maybe the truth ain't gonna be all that
matters.
290
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:15,530
Mr. Prosecutor, call your first witness.
291
00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:24,390
Mr. Bray, you were a witness to an
argument between Mr. Exler and Mr.
292
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:25,430
weren't you? Indeed, I was.
293
00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:30,650
There I was, standing in my store,
Bray's Mercantile, where you can always
294
00:19:30,650 --> 00:19:31,650
bargain.
295
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:35,050
There I was, innocent to the cares of
the world. Oh, Mr.
296
00:19:35,290 --> 00:19:36,290
Bray.
297
00:19:36,620 --> 00:19:37,620
Who started it?
298
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,420
Well, Marshall Birch.
299
00:19:39,940 --> 00:19:44,860
Anyway, there I was. Wasn't Rudy Exner
antagonizing Mr. Birch?
300
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,800
Objection. Your Honor, shouldn't he be
referring to him as Marshall Birch? That
301
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,800
isn't his official title.
302
00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:52,340
Overruled.
303
00:19:52,740 --> 00:19:55,600
Just seems like he's trying to make it
look like Marshall wasn't acting in his
304
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,600
official capacity.
305
00:19:56,740 --> 00:19:58,900
I said overruled, son.
306
00:20:05,379 --> 00:20:09,280
Wasn't Rudy Exner goading Mr. Birch
trying to get him to draw on him?
307
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,260
Wasn't it really Rudy Exner who started
the argument?
308
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,840
Your Honor, isn't Mr. Meadows leading
the witness?
309
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,140
Is that an objection?
310
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:26,300
Yeah. Yes.
311
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,800
Son, I know this is your first trial.
312
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:33,580
You're trying to impress all these folks
out here.
313
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,860
But it doesn't do your client any favors
by irritating me with these frivolous
314
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:39,860
objections.
315
00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:48,660
Well, as I was saying, there I was,
standing there, innocent to the cares of
316
00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:52,540
world, when all of a sudden... And
that's when I discovered that to my
317
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,460
Mr. Exner was unarmed.
318
00:20:55,660 --> 00:21:00,680
Marshal Birch had shot a man who faced
him as defenseless as the day he was
319
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,680
born.
320
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:04,100
I'm finished.
321
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,540
Mr. Cooper, do you have any questions
for the witness?
322
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,460
No, I, uh... Not right now.
323
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:30,780
Dr. Mike, maybe you'd better bring your
eyesight test and stuff over to the
324
00:21:30,780 --> 00:21:31,759
jail.
325
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,820
Sure. I'm afraid it might be our only
hope.
326
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:35,300
Mr. Springer.
327
00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:39,580
I hope that I'm receiving some
substantial ink in your newspaper, Mrs.
328
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,780
Yes, you are. And I suppose it'll help
sell your book. I certainly hope so.
329
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:50,320
Mr. Springer, how can you call yourself
a reporter and be part of the story? How
330
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,320
can you be objective?
331
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:54,120
First of all, I don't call myself a
reporter.
332
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,440
And what is so admirable about being
objective?
333
00:21:57,820 --> 00:21:59,400
Folks want a good yarn.
334
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,420
I just give them what they want.
335
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,600
Mr. Meadows?
336
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:08,940
Second of your time, sir.
337
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:18,640
My father and I used to go rabbit
338
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,640
hunting.
339
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:23,400
Even after he got old, he could spot a
rabbit 50 feet away and two feet
340
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,400
underground.
341
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:27,660
Seems a good eyesight runs in your
family.
342
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,460
Still, sometimes when you got closer,
the rabbit wouldn't be there.
343
00:22:33,470 --> 00:22:36,150
Sometimes I think he saw it because he
wanted it to be there.
344
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:41,070
Well, you had every reason to believe
that he was reaching for his gun.
345
00:22:42,410 --> 00:22:44,570
I can't get that little girl's face out
of my mind.
346
00:22:46,030 --> 00:22:49,350
The daughter of one of the men Exner
killed when I told her about her daddy.
347
00:22:51,130 --> 00:22:53,730
And that's what these good eyes have
been seeing for 20 years.
348
00:22:55,250 --> 00:22:56,430
And I'm the one that's in jail.
349
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,840
Well, it's a cure. She's fine.
350
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,240
There's no sign of intraocular
pathology.
351
00:23:12,580 --> 00:23:13,840
There's nothing wrong with his eyes.
352
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,720
I'm afraid not.
353
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:19,300
Excuse me.
354
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,220
We call our final witness, Your Honor.
355
00:23:26,420 --> 00:23:27,500
Dr. Michaela Quinn.
356
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:42,800
Did you swear to tell the truth, Dr.
Quinn?
357
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Yes.
358
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,220
You examined Mr. Birch's eyes yesterday,
didn't you?
359
00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,840
Dr. Quinn?
360
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:04,120
Yes, I did.
361
00:24:04,660 --> 00:24:06,640
And what was the result of that test?
362
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,820
Objection. Your Honor, that was...
363
00:24:09,770 --> 00:24:10,770
That was an art test.
364
00:24:13,450 --> 00:24:14,870
Continue, Mr. Meadows.
365
00:24:16,730 --> 00:24:17,830
The results, doctor?
366
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:25,030
I had to examine him in the jail. I was
unable to conduct a complete
367
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:26,030
examination.
368
00:24:26,670 --> 00:24:28,750
I will make this real easy on you, Dr.
Quinn.
369
00:24:29,930 --> 00:24:33,490
Is his eyesight good or bad?
370
00:24:36,150 --> 00:24:37,510
Well, from what I could tell...
371
00:24:39,950 --> 00:24:40,950
His eyesight was normal.
372
00:24:44,470 --> 00:24:45,470
That's all.
373
00:25:03,330 --> 00:25:04,450
No questions.
374
00:25:06,430 --> 00:25:07,630
Prosecution rests, Your Honor.
375
00:25:13,070 --> 00:25:14,070
You're smart, son.
376
00:25:15,310 --> 00:25:17,150
You know this doesn't bode well.
377
00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:23,850
Now, we all got places to go, things to
do, and better whiskey to drink.
378
00:25:24,650 --> 00:25:25,650
Here's what I suggest.
379
00:25:27,430 --> 00:25:29,010
You change your plea to guilty.
380
00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:34,090
I'll take Birch's long record of public
service into consideration.
381
00:25:40,590 --> 00:25:41,770
He won't hang.
382
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,040
I'll have to send him to life, but he
won't hang.
383
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,380
I think you ought to take the deal.
384
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,020
You think I committed murder?
385
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,560
No.
386
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,800
That's because I know you.
387
00:25:56,260 --> 00:25:58,420
The evidence... What do you think
happened out there that night?
388
00:25:58,980 --> 00:26:00,060
I believe you, Marshall.
389
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,320
I know you wouldn't shoot another man.
390
00:26:02,740 --> 00:26:04,200
So why do you want me to take the deal?
391
00:26:07,980 --> 00:26:10,020
Because I don't think I can do any
better for you.
392
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:12,580
You think I should have got a trickier
lawyer?
393
00:26:16,250 --> 00:26:17,750
Yeah. Maybe that is what you should have
done.
394
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:21,670
Well, I don't care much for tricks,
Matthew. I care more about the truth.
395
00:26:22,690 --> 00:26:24,610
Just tell the judge, no deal.
396
00:26:26,170 --> 00:26:29,510
Elias, you do understand that if they
find you guilty, they'll hang you.
397
00:26:29,950 --> 00:26:33,590
Well, I don't want to tell you that I
want to die or anything, but the worst
398
00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:36,290
thing I can think of is just sitting up
here in that prison cell for the rest of
399
00:26:36,290 --> 00:26:38,430
my life, knowing that I had to lie to
save my skin.
400
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:50,630
And son, I chose the right Lord.
401
00:27:38,350 --> 00:27:41,390
And then I looked down, and I saw that
Exner didn't have his gun.
402
00:27:44,690 --> 00:27:49,110
When you saw him earlier that night, the
gold nugget, did he have his gun then?
403
00:27:50,410 --> 00:27:51,990
If he did, I never saw it.
404
00:27:52,590 --> 00:27:54,210
I did. I was there. I saw it.
405
00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:58,870
Mr. Bray, you're not testifying at the
moment. Please keep your mouth shut.
406
00:27:59,290 --> 00:28:00,930
I was just trying to be of help.
407
00:28:03,810 --> 00:28:06,490
You see, Mr. Springer, there's something
that just doesn't make sense to me.
408
00:28:07,570 --> 00:28:09,850
Rudy Axner's been thinking about this
goal for 20 years.
409
00:28:10,890 --> 00:28:13,670
He finally gets a chance to go dig it
up, and he leaves his gun behind?
410
00:28:15,070 --> 00:28:18,870
Was that a question, Your Honor? Mr.
Springer was there. I'm just asking him
411
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:19,870
clarify something for me.
412
00:28:20,690 --> 00:28:24,510
You see, I went out there last night,
and I could have told you the way he was
413
00:28:24,510 --> 00:28:26,290
digging, anybody could have come up
behind him. Isn't that right?
414
00:28:27,550 --> 00:28:28,650
I suppose so.
415
00:28:30,110 --> 00:28:31,870
You'd think he'd want to defend himself,
wouldn't you?
416
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:34,590
Especially knowing that the Marshal was
after him. Isn't that right?
417
00:28:35,310 --> 00:28:36,189
Speculation again.
418
00:28:36,190 --> 00:28:37,810
You don't have to answer that. The loss
is good.
419
00:28:38,030 --> 00:28:39,190
Why would he do that?
420
00:28:40,110 --> 00:28:41,110
Objection, Your Honor.
421
00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:42,850
That calls for speculation.
422
00:28:43,210 --> 00:28:44,210
You're right.
423
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:45,690
It certainly does.
424
00:28:58,010 --> 00:29:01,230
Exner didn't lose his gun. I looked all
over the path he would have taken from
425
00:29:01,230 --> 00:29:02,109
the gold nugget.
426
00:29:02,110 --> 00:29:04,950
Besides, someone who's that worried
about recovering his gun and being
427
00:29:04,950 --> 00:29:08,750
is going to be more careful not to lose
his gun and much less leave it behind.
428
00:29:09,030 --> 00:29:12,930
But if we believe Marshal Birch and the
gun's nowhere to be found, then Mr.
429
00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:14,030
Springer's lying.
430
00:29:14,850 --> 00:29:15,850
Why would you say that?
431
00:29:17,610 --> 00:29:18,610
Maybe he took it.
432
00:29:19,370 --> 00:29:20,430
To make a better story.
433
00:29:21,250 --> 00:29:22,750
He was the only other person out there.
434
00:29:23,270 --> 00:29:26,490
If Mr. Exeter had a gun, then Marshal
Birch would have been defending himself.
435
00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:27,890
But without a gun?
436
00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:31,070
That makes for a famous trial and the
end of an illustrious career.
437
00:29:32,810 --> 00:29:35,210
It has to be what happened. You've done
it, Matthew. Not exactly. You've still
438
00:29:35,210 --> 00:29:36,210
got to prove it.
439
00:29:38,530 --> 00:29:39,530
Matthew!
440
00:29:40,390 --> 00:29:43,150
I just got a telegram from the warden of
the prison where Exner did his
441
00:29:43,150 --> 00:29:46,390
sentence. It seems Exner's cellmates
have something he wants to tell you.
442
00:29:46,790 --> 00:29:48,110
How did he find out about the case?
443
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:50,550
From reading Ned Springer's reports in
the Denver Post.
444
00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:52,130
I don't have time to write out there.
445
00:29:52,690 --> 00:29:55,550
Matthew, perhaps you should find out
what this man has to say. I've still got
446
00:29:55,550 --> 00:29:57,830
figure out a way to get all this stuff
about the gun entered into evidence.
447
00:29:58,270 --> 00:29:59,630
The judge isn't going to do me any
favors.
448
00:30:00,060 --> 00:30:02,960
Well, the warden seems to think that
what this fella Calvert's got to say
449
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:03,960
be important.
450
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:07,880
I better get going if I leave back in
time for court tomorrow.
451
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,480
I'll go with you.
452
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,520
Elias, I'll give your lawyer five more
minutes to get here. If he's not here,
453
00:30:22,580 --> 00:30:23,980
I'm going to point the circuit defender.
454
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,820
Go take a look for Mr.
455
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,660
Hardway, will you? Try the saloon.
456
00:30:32,140 --> 00:30:33,140
Sorry to be late, Your Honor.
457
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:35,020
Can I talk to you for a minute?
458
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,940
Your Honor, this witness is just coming
forward with new information that will
459
00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:44,360
prove that Rudy Exner set this whole
thing up. Oh, please, Your Honor. And
460
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,460
Springer was his accomplice.
461
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,760
You're going to have to prove what
you're saying, son.
462
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,520
I can't, Your Honor.
463
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,520
You swear to tell the truth?
464
00:31:02,030 --> 00:31:06,050
You are a prisoner at the Colorado
Territorial Prison in Denver, where you
465
00:31:06,050 --> 00:31:07,050
Rudy Exner, is that right?
466
00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:09,630
Shared a cell with him for 15 years.
467
00:31:10,050 --> 00:31:12,790
Did Mr. Exner ever say anything to you
about Marshall Birch?
468
00:31:13,310 --> 00:31:14,310
Objection, hearsay?
469
00:31:15,390 --> 00:31:16,970
Not yet, it isn't.
470
00:31:20,270 --> 00:31:21,270
Mr. Calvert?
471
00:31:21,810 --> 00:31:23,830
He talked about him all the time.
472
00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:25,350
Wouldn't shut up.
473
00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:28,030
Always, I'm gonna make him pay.
474
00:31:28,590 --> 00:31:32,190
As soon as I get out of here, I'm going
to make him suffer the way he made me
475
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:35,150
suffer. It's like it's the only thing
that kept him going.
476
00:31:36,730 --> 00:31:41,290
I'm going to make him suffer the way he
made me suffer. What do you suppose he
477
00:31:41,290 --> 00:31:42,249
meant by that?
478
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:44,370
Well, I figured that... Objection!
479
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:46,710
Only what he said, Mr.
480
00:31:46,910 --> 00:31:47,910
Calvert.
481
00:31:51,190 --> 00:31:54,710
Did Mr. Exner ever say anything else
about Marshal Birch?
482
00:31:55,150 --> 00:31:57,290
Not a one time he said to me.
483
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:02,460
Hope you're going to like having a
federal marshal in the cell with you. So
484
00:32:02,460 --> 00:32:05,780
Exner had a plan to get Marshal Birch
arrested. That's what he meant by I'm
485
00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:07,740
going to make him suffer the way he made
me suffer.
486
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,660
Objection leading the witness.
487
00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:12,400
Play by the rules, son.
488
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:14,760
All right.
489
00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:20,700
We have heard testimony that Marshal
Birch followed Rudy Exner out to a place
490
00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:24,060
near the road to Soda Springs where he
thought Exner was going to dig up the
491
00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:25,060
gold that he buried there.
492
00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:27,260
Gold ain't there.
493
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,560
Where is it, Mr. Calvert?
494
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,000
If I tell you, you won't have a reason
to let me out of jail.
495
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,160
This felon is just trying to bargain his
way out of prison, Your Honor.
496
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:42,340
How are we supposed to believe anything
he says?
497
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,200
I'm planning to agree with Mr. Meadows.
498
00:32:46,180 --> 00:32:50,080
You're going to have to provide some
corroborating evidence. That means that
499
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,080
somebody else's testimony...
500
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,800
Isn't there anyone else who witnessed
X's plan?
501
00:33:02,540 --> 00:33:03,660
Even if they didn't know it?
502
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:12,660
That night, when you thought Mr. Exner
and Mr. Springer had the golden nugget,
503
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,100
did they see you?
504
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:18,300
Oh, no. I hid as soon as I saw them. As
soon as you saw them?
505
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,660
Yeah. But when you first saw them, you
weren't hiding.
506
00:33:21,420 --> 00:33:24,500
No, but... So if you saw them, they
could have seen you.
507
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,780
They sure didn't act like they did.
508
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:29,020
What did they act like?
509
00:33:30,990 --> 00:33:32,990
I see what you're getting at, but you're
wrong.
510
00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:37,610
Your Honor, would you please tell the
wizard that he can't make statements,
511
00:33:37,610 --> 00:33:40,330
only supposed to answer questions? He's
trying to make me look like a fool.
512
00:33:40,910 --> 00:33:43,530
Like the two of them are in it together
and just use action.
513
00:33:44,390 --> 00:33:48,210
And that's a classmate who's, um, is
getting kind of interesting.
514
00:33:48,650 --> 00:33:49,650
Mr. Cooper?
515
00:33:56,110 --> 00:33:58,530
Now, what you're proposing is the two of
them...
516
00:33:58,780 --> 00:34:01,140
Set Mr. Bray up to get Birch to follow
Exner.
517
00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:06,700
Yes, Your Honor. Your Honor, this should
be presented in testimony.
518
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,699
Well, let's save some time here.
519
00:34:10,380 --> 00:34:11,820
What happened to the gun?
520
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,060
I can't prove it, but Ned Springer must
have taken it.
521
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:17,580
Well,
522
00:34:17,699 --> 00:34:20,199
Folly, it's a good story. It's good for
the book.
523
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,139
There's just one problem.
524
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:27,560
To believe that, I have got to believe
that Exner wanted to get back at Birch
525
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,280
much. That he allowed himself to be
killed to do so.
526
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,400
That he got himself killed for revenge.
527
00:34:35,420 --> 00:34:36,560
Why would he do that?
528
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,100
Why would anybody do that?
529
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,080
Marshall, listen.
530
00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:54,300
You could appeal and get a new trial if
the judge says your lawyer doesn't know
531
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:55,300
what he's doing.
532
00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:57,320
Trial ain't over yet.
533
00:35:04,490 --> 00:35:05,490
He's wrong.
534
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:06,988
It's over.
535
00:35:06,990 --> 00:35:07,990
I got nothing left.
536
00:35:12,190 --> 00:35:13,670
You had to question Lauren, Matthew.
537
00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:15,930
You had to get your theory into
evidence.
538
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:17,710
A lot of good it did.
539
00:35:19,230 --> 00:35:22,110
When you think about it like the judge
says, the whole thing falls apart.
540
00:35:22,110 --> 00:35:23,110
my problem.
541
00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:26,910
I get excited about an idea without
thinking the whole thing through, not
542
00:35:26,910 --> 00:35:27,910
load of shit.
543
00:35:29,230 --> 00:35:30,470
And now, man, like...
544
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,600
I couldn't sleep either.
545
00:35:56,660 --> 00:35:59,440
Matthew, when you agreed to defend
Marshall Birch, you told me that you'd
546
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,440
my help.
547
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:04,440
I don't think you're going to like what
I have to say.
548
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,480
Go on.
549
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,080
One of the most difficult things I ever
have to do is to put aside my
550
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,240
frustration when I can't solve a
problem.
551
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,880
Because frustration prevents you from
being able to solve the problem.
552
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:21,660
You're telling me to stop moping around.
553
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,460
I'm telling you that the only thing
that's preventing you from being the
554
00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:27,520
lawyer you want to be is yourself.
555
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,480
Sometimes being personally involved in a
case will help you.
556
00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:37,540
Other times it'll stand in your way.
It'll prevent you from being able to
557
00:36:37,540 --> 00:36:38,540
the problem.
558
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:42,000
I think this is one of those times.
559
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:45,500
So what do you do?
560
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:48,640
Well, I write down...
561
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:50,860
Whatever I can think of.
562
00:36:52,060 --> 00:36:53,480
No matter how silly it sounds.
563
00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:55,780
All right.
564
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,080
That's a good idea.
565
00:37:02,980 --> 00:37:04,100
So where do we leave it?
566
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,940
The judge asked a question. Why would
anybody kill himself just to get
567
00:37:10,780 --> 00:37:11,780
It's a good question.
568
00:37:13,180 --> 00:37:14,180
Because he was crazy.
569
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,200
Well, it's a possibility.
570
00:37:17,890 --> 00:37:20,030
Because he wanted to kill himself
anyways?
571
00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:22,210
It's another idea, I guess.
572
00:37:25,630 --> 00:37:26,650
Wait, you may have something.
573
00:37:27,930 --> 00:37:29,210
Why do people kill themselves?
574
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:34,270
Because they believe they don't have
anything to live for.
575
00:37:35,010 --> 00:37:36,730
But he had all that gold waiting for
him.
576
00:37:37,070 --> 00:37:41,590
Matthew, if you had all the gold in the
world and no time left to enjoy it...
577
00:37:41,590 --> 00:37:45,670
What if he was dying?
578
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:10,480
as good as prison food?
579
00:38:11,260 --> 00:38:12,640
You'll find out soon enough.
580
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,220
I ain't never gonna have to eat that
slop again.
581
00:38:20,180 --> 00:38:21,180
What's funny?
582
00:38:21,620 --> 00:38:23,520
They ain't never gonna let you out of
here.
583
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,860
They want to know where the gold is.
584
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,340
Nobody gives a damn about the gold
except me.
585
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:32,320
The stagecoach company?
586
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,540
They went out of business long ago.
587
00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:38,500
The law.
588
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,660
When Exner's dead, they can't put him
away.
589
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,520
So what's it to you?
590
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:46,900
Well, it ain't nothing to me as long as
I'm in here.
591
00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:50,220
But I've been studying this cell.
592
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,160
I know how to get out of here.
593
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,040
How?
594
00:38:58,580 --> 00:39:03,940
Well, I've been trying to decide whether
I want to tell you or just maybe bide
595
00:39:03,940 --> 00:39:05,780
my time and wait till you go back to
prison.
596
00:39:07,380 --> 00:39:09,090
You're a... Federal marshal?
597
00:39:09,310 --> 00:39:11,810
You was the biggest lawman I ever heard
of.
598
00:39:12,270 --> 00:39:15,010
You expect me to believe you're changing
sides?
599
00:39:15,730 --> 00:39:19,670
I was a federal marshal until Exner set
me up.
600
00:39:20,690 --> 00:39:22,230
You did a good job, too.
601
00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:24,430
I'll tell you one thing.
602
00:39:25,010 --> 00:39:26,970
I ain't gonna make prison my home.
603
00:39:28,350 --> 00:39:31,330
I'm gonna be breaking out of here either
with you or without you.
604
00:39:32,350 --> 00:39:33,710
And you gotta make the choice.
605
00:39:39,790 --> 00:39:42,130
This is yesterday's issue of the Denver
Post.
606
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:45,410
There's an article in here written by
you.
607
00:39:45,910 --> 00:39:47,750
Would you read the part that I marked,
please?
608
00:39:49,530 --> 00:39:55,470
As I knelt beside Mr. Exner and the
seasoned criminal drew his last raspy
609
00:39:55,470 --> 00:40:01,830
breath, the lifeblood pouring out of him
preparing to meet God or the devil, I
610
00:40:01,830 --> 00:40:05,850
noticed that his Colt .44 thumb buster
revolver was missing.
611
00:40:09,150 --> 00:40:10,150
You wrote this, right?
612
00:40:10,730 --> 00:40:11,730
Indeed, I did.
613
00:40:13,110 --> 00:40:16,530
But yesterday in court you told us that
you'd never seen Mr. Exner's gun.
614
00:40:17,950 --> 00:40:18,990
How'd you know what it looked like?
615
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:21,870
Well, somebody told me. Who?
616
00:40:22,810 --> 00:40:23,810
Objection!
617
00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:26,150
Mr. Springer is not on trial here.
618
00:40:26,590 --> 00:40:27,590
Maybe he ought to be.
619
00:40:29,730 --> 00:40:34,110
Your Honor, even if Mr. Springer did
take the gun, your well -directed
620
00:40:34,110 --> 00:40:35,350
remains unanswered.
621
00:40:36,190 --> 00:40:37,190
Why?
622
00:40:37,310 --> 00:40:40,480
Why? would Mr. Exner kill himself just
to get revenge?
623
00:40:41,220 --> 00:40:42,220
I agree.
624
00:40:44,820 --> 00:40:48,580
Mr. Cooper, if you have no other
witnesses... I do, Your Honor.
625
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,960
Just one more.
626
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,860
And what did the autopsy show?
627
00:40:57,620 --> 00:41:01,320
Mr. Exner suffered from a condition
known as aortic stenosis.
628
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,280
It's the narrowing of the main valve of
the heart which obstructs the flow of
629
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,700
blood into the circulation.
630
00:41:07,370 --> 00:41:08,370
Can it kill you?
631
00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:12,770
Yes. Once the symptoms start to exhibit
themselves, it's rare to live for more
632
00:41:12,770 --> 00:41:13,770
than a year or so.
633
00:41:14,350 --> 00:41:16,550
And how far along was Mr. Exner?
634
00:41:17,310 --> 00:41:20,630
The edges of his heart valve had
thickened considerably, and his heart
635
00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:22,910
greatly enlarged from working harder to
pump the blood.
636
00:41:23,950 --> 00:41:25,530
He didn't have much time left.
637
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:28,190
Your Honor, this is irrelevant.
638
00:41:28,910 --> 00:41:33,350
Unless the victim knew he was dying,
your well -posed question remains. Just
639
00:41:33,350 --> 00:41:34,430
more question, Your Honor.
640
00:41:35,980 --> 00:41:38,660
Did you send a telegram to the prison
doctor this morning?
641
00:41:38,980 --> 00:41:39,980
Yes, I did.
642
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:46,780
Dr. Anthony Racine responded that he
diagnosed Mr. Exner with aortic stenosis
643
00:41:46,780 --> 00:41:47,880
last winter.
644
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,320
A year ago?
645
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,860
Yes, Dr. Racine told Mr. Exner he had
about a year to live.
646
00:41:54,940 --> 00:41:55,940
One year.
647
00:41:56,820 --> 00:42:00,500
To make Marshal Birch suffer the way he
did.
648
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,038
Objection, Your Honor.
649
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,200
Save it, Mr. Meadows.
650
00:42:07,470 --> 00:42:09,430
You'll need her when you prosecute Mr.
651
00:42:09,630 --> 00:42:10,630
Springer.
652
00:42:25,790 --> 00:42:26,850
A little
653
00:42:26,850 --> 00:42:35,970
dirty.
654
00:42:36,590 --> 00:42:37,590
It's still legal.
655
00:42:37,970 --> 00:42:39,570
Don't you talk about me there for a
minute.
656
00:42:40,310 --> 00:42:42,750
The stagecoach company is going to be
surprised to see this.
657
00:42:43,570 --> 00:42:46,130
Calvert told me you said the stagecoach
company had gone out of business.
658
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:48,590
I told Calvert a lot of things.
659
00:42:51,130 --> 00:42:53,110
Well, I'm going to go make sure he gets
on that train.
660
00:42:53,550 --> 00:42:55,230
I'm not too happy about going back to
prison.
661
00:42:55,690 --> 00:42:56,690
Good.
662
00:43:01,310 --> 00:43:02,310
Where would you go?
663
00:43:02,690 --> 00:43:03,690
Back to work.
664
00:43:06,510 --> 00:43:07,510
Thanks to you, son.
665
00:43:32,430 --> 00:43:34,950
Thank you, Dr. Mike.
666
00:43:35,630 --> 00:43:36,630
What for?
667
00:43:37,330 --> 00:43:38,350
For believing in me.
668
00:43:39,510 --> 00:43:40,730
For helping me believe in myself.
669
00:43:42,410 --> 00:43:44,090
You never know when I may need a good
attorney.
