Pretending to be reformed.
334
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:06,085
Nearly had me fooled.
Then he comes in here
with a wad of bills
335
00:18:06,128 --> 00:18:09,000
that would choke a mule.And no explanation
where he got '’em!
336
00:18:09,044 --> 00:18:12,221
Naw.
We better keep
an eye on him,
337
00:18:12,265 --> 00:18:14,789
so he don'’t bolt before
the sheriff gets back.
338
00:18:20,751 --> 00:18:22,188
Here he comes!
339
00:18:25,452 --> 00:18:27,584
Look what I found
at the ranch.
340
00:18:27,628 --> 00:18:29,238
It was in the bushes
where a horse had been tied.
341
00:18:29,282 --> 00:18:33,460
You recognize it?Yeah!
342
00:18:33,503 --> 00:18:36,158
It'’s Gideon Flack's!Where is he?
343
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:38,900
He'’s inside
Luther'’s store now.
344
00:18:48,214 --> 00:18:50,172
You ever see this gun before?
345
00:18:50,216 --> 00:18:52,479
Where'’d you get it?Where you dropped it.
346
00:18:52,522 --> 00:18:56,091
At Murray'’s ranch.That'’s a lie!
347
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:59,660
You admit it isyour gun.Yeah.
348
00:18:59,703 --> 00:19:01,227
And you had it with you
when you went out there
last night.
349
00:19:01,270 --> 00:19:04,055
No! I didn'’t carry
any gun!
350
00:19:04,099 --> 00:19:05,796
But you were out there!
351
00:19:08,408 --> 00:19:10,671
Yeah. But I didn'’t kill him.
352
00:19:10,714 --> 00:19:12,107
What'’d you go out there for?
353
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:13,326
To collect some money
he owed me.
354
00:19:13,369 --> 00:19:15,371
And did you?No.
355
00:19:15,415 --> 00:19:19,375
So you pulled a gun on him.I tell ya, I didn'’t
have a gun!
356
00:19:19,419 --> 00:19:21,508
I looked for it before I left,
but I couldn'’t findit.
357
00:19:21,551 --> 00:19:23,901
It was gone!Loaded?
358
00:19:23,945 --> 00:19:25,816
Well, of course!
359
00:19:27,905 --> 00:19:30,081
One empty cartridge.
360
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:33,346
The bullet that killed Murray
came from a .44 just like this.
361
00:19:33,389 --> 00:19:35,957
[ chattering ]
That'’s his gun!I didn'’t fire it.
362
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,219
He was alive
when I left him.
363
00:19:37,263 --> 00:19:40,222
I swear!Look, Gideon.
364
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:43,094
We all heard the threats
you made about collecting
that money or else.
365
00:19:43,138 --> 00:19:45,096
How do you explain being
so well-heeled all of a sudden?
366
00:19:45,140 --> 00:19:46,837
That was money
I had in the bank!
367
00:19:46,881 --> 00:19:50,406
You better confess!I didn'’t kill Murray!
368
00:19:50,450 --> 00:19:53,235
You won'’t need that
necktie, brother. We got
a better one for you.
369
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:56,064
Yeah!Yeah. Sure have!
370
00:19:56,107 --> 00:19:59,328
You-- You can'’t hang me!
I'’m-I'm innocent!
371
00:19:59,372 --> 00:20:00,721
Let me go!
372
00:20:00,764 --> 00:20:02,636
We'’ll take him out
to the tree by the corral!
373
00:20:02,679 --> 00:20:05,160
[ shouting, clamoring ]
374
00:20:10,818 --> 00:20:13,342
[ shouting, screaming ]
375
00:20:22,090 --> 00:20:23,961
[ all shouting ]
376
00:20:33,754 --> 00:20:36,409
What'’s all this about?
Where are you taking
this man?
377
00:20:36,452 --> 00:20:38,280
For the love of God,
help me!
378
00:20:38,324 --> 00:20:39,977
MAN:
He committed a murder!
379
00:20:40,021 --> 00:20:42,632
[ crowd agreeing ]I don'’t believe it.
380
00:20:42,676 --> 00:20:43,764
MAN 2:
We got the evidence.
381
00:20:43,807 --> 00:20:46,070
His gun!The money he stole.
382
00:20:46,114 --> 00:20:48,508
That'’s not enough to go on!That'’s enough for us.
383
00:20:48,551 --> 00:20:49,944
Come on, boys. Hang him up.
384
00:20:49,987 --> 00:20:51,641
[ clamoring ]
385
00:21:08,484 --> 00:21:10,443
Hey, throw the rope
on that limb!
386
00:21:12,358 --> 00:21:14,795
[ Brownell ]
Wait, man! Wait!
387
00:21:14,838 --> 00:21:18,059
This man may be guilty
of a lot of sins--
388
00:21:18,102 --> 00:21:19,800
who of us isn'’t-- but
he'’s not a murderer!
389
00:21:19,843 --> 00:21:21,323
I know!
I'’ve talked with him!
390
00:21:21,367 --> 00:21:23,499
And everything he told you
was a lie.
391
00:21:23,543 --> 00:21:26,328
All that business about
wanting to be converted.
392
00:21:26,372 --> 00:21:29,026
That was a fake!
393
00:21:29,070 --> 00:21:31,464
We drew lots to see
who'’d go to you.
394
00:21:31,507 --> 00:21:33,248
And his conversion
was a put-up job.
395
00:21:34,815 --> 00:21:35,990
Boss!
396
00:21:41,648 --> 00:21:44,346
The man is still entitled
to a fair trial.
397
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:46,609
Now give him into
my custody, and I'’ll turn
him over to the sheriff.
398
00:21:46,653 --> 00:21:49,177
Like heck you would.
Come on, let'’s get
this business over with.
399
00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:51,266
Get him!
[ shouting ]
400
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:53,921
Wait! I'’ll make you
a proposition!
401
00:21:53,964 --> 00:21:56,010
I'’ll fight you
for custody of this man.
402
00:21:56,053 --> 00:21:58,752
I'’ll take on anyone
you pick from this crowd.
403
00:22:00,623 --> 00:22:02,582
Well, come on, men!
Where'’s your sporting blood?
404
00:22:02,625 --> 00:22:03,931
Ah, nothin'’ doin'.
Come on--
405
00:22:03,974 --> 00:22:05,759
We ain'’t had a good fight
in a coon'’s age.
406
00:22:05,802 --> 00:22:08,196
What have we got to lose?You could lick '’em
hands down, Newt.
407
00:22:08,239 --> 00:22:10,372
Here'’s your chance.
408
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:12,853
All right.
Square off, Parson.
409
00:22:15,812 --> 00:22:19,425
Just remember, preacher.
You asked for it!
410
00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:21,644
And I ain'’t pullin'
any punches!
411
00:22:21,688 --> 00:22:23,820
[ clamoring ]
412
00:22:33,003 --> 00:22:34,396
Get up!
413
00:22:39,619 --> 00:22:41,055
He never learned that
in church.
414
00:22:48,671 --> 00:22:49,890
MAN:
Here comes the sheriff!
415
00:22:51,979 --> 00:22:53,589
Sheriff!
416
00:22:53,633 --> 00:22:56,549
Sheriff! Help! Get him, Newt! Full on!
417
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:01,423
What'’s going on here?
418
00:23:01,467 --> 00:23:04,818
Just a fight, Sheriff.
419
00:23:04,861 --> 00:23:09,170
Yeah? Looks more like
a necktie party to me.
420
00:23:09,213 --> 00:23:12,478
Who have you got here?The murderer
of Old Man Murray.
421
00:23:12,521 --> 00:23:15,132
Apprehending criminals
is my job.
422
00:23:15,176 --> 00:23:17,352
Anybody want to argue?
423
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,746
So who gave you the right
to take the law in your hands?
424
00:23:19,789 --> 00:23:22,226
Without a trial?
425
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:24,359
Without even a warrant
for this man'’s arrest?
426
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:27,144
If it'’s a warrant you want,
go ahead and draw one up.
427
00:23:27,188 --> 00:23:30,713
Well, I already have one.
428
00:23:30,757 --> 00:23:34,238
After completing
my investigation
at the Murray Ranch.
429
00:23:34,282 --> 00:23:38,895
Frank Short, I arrest you
for the murder of
your boss, James Murray.
430
00:23:38,939 --> 00:23:41,289
MEN:
Frank Short? Frank? What?
431
00:23:41,332 --> 00:23:44,118
John, you were right!
432
00:23:44,161 --> 00:23:47,121
Now I know I'’m on
the side of the angels.
433
00:23:47,164 --> 00:23:49,428
Let'’s go.
434
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:55,346
Gosh, we...
sure are sorry, Gideon.
435
00:24:03,746 --> 00:24:06,532
Parson sure packs
a wallop, eh, Newt?
Yeah.
436
00:24:06,575 --> 00:24:09,360
He sure had me
going for a minute.
437
00:24:09,404 --> 00:24:11,450
Maybe there is something to
having the Lord on your side.
438
00:24:13,321 --> 00:24:14,975
Might be worth looking into.
439
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:22,722
