Howdy, folks.
I'm the Old Ranger,
2
00:00:32,989 --> 00:00:36,340
with an exciting new story of
real life in the Old West.
3
00:00:38,125 --> 00:00:40,083
The easy road to popularity
4
00:00:40,127 --> 00:00:42,477
is to tell people what
they want to hear.
5
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,870
But what happens when
a conscientious man
6
00:00:44,914 --> 00:00:47,873
knows that the popular thing
is the wrong thing?
7
00:00:47,917 --> 00:00:51,964
When he realized California must
surrender to the Americans,
8
00:00:52,008 --> 00:00:56,969
this was the problem faced by
Don Augustin Olvera.

[ men cheering ][ gunshots firing ]
10
00:01:13,421 --> 00:01:15,945
Governor Pico,
what shall we do?
11
00:01:17,773 --> 00:01:21,168
Senores, let's face
this problem squarely.
12
00:01:21,211 --> 00:01:22,908
Is there a solution?
13
00:01:24,214 --> 00:01:25,694
What do you think, Olvera?
14
00:01:27,391 --> 00:01:32,222
Your Excellency,
our position is hopeless.
15
00:01:32,266 --> 00:01:36,139
We're overwhelmed by
sheer weight of numbers.
16
00:01:36,183 --> 00:01:39,011
Kearney's army threatens us
from the south and the east.
17
00:01:39,055 --> 00:01:41,057
Commodore Stockton's fleet
blockades San Pedro.
18
00:01:41,101 --> 00:01:43,320
His marines can force
a landing at any time.
19
00:01:43,364 --> 00:01:45,453
Don't be too
pessimistic, Olvera.
20
00:01:45,496 --> 00:01:47,672
We drove the last landing
back into the water.
21
00:01:47,716 --> 00:01:50,066
With due respect,
Governor Pico,
22
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:52,460
he has since been reinforced
by the Savannah,

00:01:52,503 --> 00:01:55,027
a 54 gunship of the line.
24
00:01:55,071 --> 00:01:58,944
Facing it, we have two cannon,

And it's only the beginning.

Delores, we ran

Professional soldiers,
and still we beat them.

Are you hurt?
Any wounds?No, no.
52
00:03:09,058 --> 00:03:11,800
See, I brought back
a souvenir.
A gringojacket.

Please, my friends.
Not now.

We must report
to the governor.

Come on, tell us
about the battle.
70
00:03:55,147 --> 00:03:57,411
The Americans were
camped in a village.
71
00:03:57,454 --> 00:03:59,500
General Pico hid our main body
in a ravine
72
00:03:59,543 --> 00:04:01,066
a mile from their lines.
73
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:04,287
We advanced and challenged
them with 50 men.
74
00:04:04,331 --> 00:04:07,377
These dragoons,
these professionals...
75
00:04:07,421 --> 00:04:09,727
They formed a line
of battle and charged.
76
00:04:09,771 --> 00:04:12,077
We deliberately
turned and ran.
77
00:04:12,121 --> 00:04:14,036
We threw down our sombreros,
our capes,
78
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:15,777
even some lances.
79
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:17,648
"Aye," I kept shouting.
80
00:04:17,692 --> 00:04:21,826
"Oh, please, save me
from these terrible gringos."

[ laughter]
82
00:04:23,915 --> 00:04:26,309
In their eagerness
to capture us,
they broke formation.
83
00:04:26,353 --> 00:04:29,312
We stayed just out of reach,
and led them by our main body.
84
00:04:29,356 --> 00:04:32,054
Then, General Pico
hit them on the flank.
85
00:04:32,097 --> 00:04:33,882
We wheeled and struck
the center.
86
00:04:33,925 --> 00:04:35,057
They broke and fled.
87
00:04:36,754 --> 00:04:38,800
If it weren't for
their artillery,
88
00:04:38,843 --> 00:04:40,889
we would have
wiped them out.
89
00:04:40,932 --> 00:04:43,021
One cannot fight
cannon with lancers.
90
00:04:44,893 --> 00:04:48,549
PICO: You don't show much
enthusiasm, Senor Olvera.
91
00:04:48,592 --> 00:04:52,596
Captain, a notable
feat of arms.
92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,946
But senores...

a giant and nothing more.
94
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,562
We proved we can
beat their cavalry.
95
00:05:01,605 --> 00:05:03,912
Now, if we had just guns enough
to match their artillery.
96
00:05:03,955 --> 00:05:05,566
You'd win,
I believe that.
97
00:05:05,609 --> 00:05:07,785
But we don't
have the guns.
98
00:05:07,829 --> 00:05:09,570
Or much else.
99
00:05:09,613 --> 00:05:11,789
PICO: We have been discussing
the whole course of the war.
100
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:15,315
Senores.You may listen
if you like.
101
00:05:17,969 --> 00:05:19,319
Go on then, Augustin.
102
00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:23,540
This victory...
103
00:05:23,584 --> 00:05:26,369
This victory means we can
lay down our arms with honor.
104
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:29,024
But lay them down we must.
105
00:05:31,592 --> 00:05:33,768
Senores,
we bring you victory.
106
00:05:33,811 --> 00:05:34,986
You talk of surrender?
107
00:05:35,030 --> 00:05:37,685
Captain, please.But Your Excellency,
108
00:05:37,728 --> 00:05:40,601
surrender an army
still able to fight.
It's cowardly!
109
00:05:40,644 --> 00:05:42,559
AUGUSTIN:
Still able to fight, Captain,
but not to win.
110
00:05:42,603 --> 00:05:45,083
This is necessity,
not free choice.
111
00:05:45,127 --> 00:05:47,738
Suppose... Suppose
we did fight on.
112
00:05:47,782 --> 00:05:51,133
Suppose by some miracle
and by the certain sacrifice
of our best young men,
113
00:05:51,176 --> 00:05:53,962
we were able to take
the enemy here in California.
114
00:05:54,005 --> 00:05:56,007
Have we gained anything?
No.
115
00:05:57,922 --> 00:06:01,056
Here. Here in Mexico.
116
00:06:01,099 --> 00:06:03,188
This is where the war
will be won or lost.
117
00:06:03,232 --> 00:06:05,669
And it is being
hopelessly lost.
118
00:06:05,713 --> 00:06:06,975
Veracruz has fallen.
119
00:06:07,018 --> 00:06:08,759
General Santa Ana
was beaten at Buena Vista.

on Mexico City.
121
00:06:12,589 --> 00:06:15,897
Senores, we Californians
continue to fight against
overwhelming odds,
122
00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:17,289
hoping to pin down
American troops.
123
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,814
We succeeded, but our
actions can no longer
124
00:06:19,857 --> 00:06:22,730
affect the cause of the war.
We can do nothing here but die.
125
00:06:24,035 --> 00:06:25,863
By surrendering now, we--
126
00:06:25,907 --> 00:06:28,039
we gain the most
favorable terms,
127
00:06:28,083 --> 00:06:30,825
and save the lives
of our young men.
128
00:06:30,868 --> 00:06:32,348
ROCHA:
Save your concern.
129
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:35,177
You ask us to quit when we've
seen the backs of the enemy.
130
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:38,354
We're soldiers.
Good ones.
131
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:39,921
Your faith in us
is too weak.
132
00:06:39,964 --> 00:06:41,705
On the contrary,
133
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:44,621
our regard for you
is greater than your own.
134
00:06:44,665 --> 00:06:47,668
Hmph. Words, sir.
Words!
135
00:06:47,711 --> 00:06:49,583
If you supplied more cannon
and less words,
136
00:06:49,626 --> 00:06:52,760
it would be the gringos
who beg for peace.
137
00:06:52,803 --> 00:06:54,675
We refuse to surrender.
138
00:06:54,718 --> 00:06:57,895
Enough. Be content with the
honor you have won, captain.
139
00:06:57,939 --> 00:07:00,028
Don't force me to deal
with you as a rebel.
140
00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:05,729
Anymore opinions, senores?
141
00:07:05,773 --> 00:07:08,471
Senor Olvera
has said it all.
142
00:07:08,515 --> 00:07:10,168
Very well.
143
00:07:10,212 --> 00:07:12,736
Meet with Colonel Fremont.
144
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:14,738

of California.

Follow me, gentlemen.
151
00:07:49,425 --> 00:07:51,732
Gentlemen.
I'm Colonel Fremont.
152
00:07:51,775 --> 00:07:53,124
Which of you will speak
for Governor Pico?
153
00:07:53,168 --> 00:07:56,214
I will.
Don Augustin Olvera.
154
00:07:56,258 --> 00:07:58,390
Judge Olvera?
155
00:08:00,088 --> 00:08:03,787
May I present General Andres
Pico, military commandant.
156
00:08:03,831 --> 00:08:05,702
And squadron commander,
Jose Carrillo.
157
00:08:06,921 --> 00:08:09,227
The terms of the treaty
are simple.
158
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:11,186
Disband military forces.
159
00:08:11,229 --> 00:08:13,449
Surrender such artilleries
you have.
160
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:16,060
Your lives and property
will be secure.
161
00:08:16,104 --> 00:08:18,062
Your religion
will be respected.
162
00:08:18,106 --> 00:08:20,978
Everyone will have equal rights
under equal law.
163
00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:22,850
The terms are
very generous.
164
00:08:22,893 --> 00:08:25,809
We want them to be.
I've been instructed to preserve
165
00:08:25,853 --> 00:08:28,246
the friendliest relationships
with the Californians.
166
00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:29,813
Will you sign,
gentlemen?
167
00:08:52,967 --> 00:08:54,621
Thank you, gentlemen.
168
00:08:56,318 --> 00:09:00,061
Oh, one moment.
Judge Olvera,
169
00:09:00,104 --> 00:09:02,454
I speak also for
Kearney and Stockton.
170
00:09:02,498 --> 00:09:04,674
We don't want to rule
by martial law,
171
00:09:04,718 --> 00:09:08,069
but we can't establish
civil government without
men of your caliber.
172
00:09:08,112 --> 00:09:11,507
Would you consider serving us
in your present capacity?
173
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:14,989
I might do you
more harm than good.
174
00:09:15,032 --> 00:09:16,773
I strongly
urged the surrender
175
00:09:16,817 --> 00:09:18,906
so the appointment
might be misunderstood.
176
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:21,865
By whom? Anyone with an ounce

Yes, sir.
356
00:20:03,637 --> 00:20:04,551
May I come in?
357
00:20:07,162 --> 00:20:08,250
Oh?
358
00:20:09,425 --> 00:20:12,646
Suddenly, you start asking
my permission again?
359
00:20:12,689 --> 00:20:15,083
Oh, Papa! Oh, Papa!
360
00:20:15,126 --> 00:20:17,390
Papa, don't let them
hang him, please!
361
00:20:17,433 --> 00:20:19,087
Don't let them hang him!
362
00:20:19,130 --> 00:20:21,307
[ crying ]
363
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:23,134
I doubt that I can stop it.
364
00:20:29,053 --> 00:20:32,100
Then, can we be
married first?
365
00:20:32,143 --> 00:20:34,537
Now you care what I want?
366
00:20:34,581 --> 00:20:35,712
I always have, Papa.
367
00:20:35,756 --> 00:20:38,585
Only--Only you thought
368
00:20:38,628 --> 00:20:40,804
I wouldn't understand
because I'm old.
369
00:20:42,066 --> 00:20:46,941
Delores,
I wasn't born old.
370
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:53,861
You have my blessing.
371
00:20:53,904 --> 00:20:55,471

[ people yelling in Spanish ]
373
00:21:19,103 --> 00:21:22,193
His honor,
Don Augustin Olvera
374
00:21:22,237 --> 00:21:23,586
judge of the first instance.
375
00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:25,588
[ gavel thudding ] Everybody rise.
376
00:21:39,036 --> 00:21:40,429
[ gavel thuds ] Be seated.
377
00:21:50,918 --> 00:21:52,485
Prisoners,
approach the bench.
378
00:22:04,497 --> 00:22:07,543
Ricardo Rocha
and Juan De Toro.
379
00:22:07,587 --> 00:22:10,633
Murderers.[ people chatting ]
380
00:22:10,677 --> 00:22:12,635
Prisoners of war,
381
00:22:13,636 --> 00:22:15,595
who have violated
the peace treaty.
382
00:22:18,249 --> 00:22:19,686
Have you any defense?
383
00:22:22,906 --> 00:22:26,475
Apparently, you felt
dishonored by surrender.
384
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,260
Tell me, senores,
385
00:22:29,304 --> 00:22:32,525
is honor satisfied
now that you shed more blood?
386
00:22:34,483 --> 00:22:36,267
Are the caballeros
killed in your raid
387
00:22:36,311 --> 00:22:39,401
now reveling somewhere
in their glory?
388
00:22:39,445 --> 00:22:41,664
Or are they just dead?
389
00:22:41,708 --> 00:22:44,188
Stupidly dead?
390
00:22:44,232 --> 00:22:45,755
The children of these men
391
00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,584
cannot eat this glory
of their fathers.
392
00:22:49,498 --> 00:22:53,284
They make the real sacrifice.
393
00:22:53,328 --> 00:22:56,592
It is left to cowards
like us to remember our duty
394
00:22:56,636 --> 00:22:58,507
and fill their little bellies.
395
00:23:00,117 --> 00:23:02,076
Have you no wisdom,
396
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,731
no knowledge,
no understanding at all?
397
00:23:06,602 --> 00:23:09,475
Can't you see the emptiness
of these gestures?
398
00:23:12,695 --> 00:23:14,567
Since there is no defense,
399
00:23:15,698 --> 00:23:18,440
I sentence you
to five years in prison.
400
00:23:18,484 --> 00:23:19,528
[ chattering ]
401
00:23:21,965 --> 00:23:23,053
Come on.
402
00:23:24,315 --> 00:23:25,491
JOHN:
Hold it!
403
00:23:25,534 --> 00:23:28,319
Hold it!
Get back in line!
404
00:23:28,363 --> 00:23:29,408
You heard me!
405
00:23:30,452 --> 00:23:31,497
Get back there!
406
00:23:31,540 --> 00:23:34,543
I know the verdict you wanted.
407
00:23:34,587 --> 00:23:35,805
I wanted it myself
408
00:23:35,849 --> 00:23:37,764
but we didn't get it,
409
00:23:37,807 --> 00:23:40,506
and we're not going
to pay the price to get it.
410
00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:43,465
They were fools for honor.
411
00:23:43,509 --> 00:23:45,685
We won't be fools
for revenge.
412
00:23:45,728 --> 00:23:48,514
At considerable cost
to himself
413
00:23:49,645 --> 00:23:52,561
Judge Olvera
has been for the cause
414
00:23:52,605 --> 00:23:54,781
of California-
American friendship.
415
00:23:55,956 --> 00:23:58,524
As a symbol
of that friendship,
416
00:23:58,567 --> 00:23:59,786
he's too valuable
to lose.
417
00:24:01,527 --> 00:24:03,354
We'll abide by his decision.
418
00:24:24,419 --> 00:24:27,509
A few months later,
Mexico suffered defeat
419
00:24:27,553 --> 00:24:29,598
as Olvera predicted.
420
00:24:29,642 --> 00:24:31,557
A general amnesty
was declared.
421
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,385
All the prisoners of war
were released,
422
00:24:34,429 --> 00:24:38,346
permitting Delores Olvera
to be reunited
with her bridegroom.
423
00:24:38,389 --> 00:24:40,522
After California
became a state,
424
00:24:40,566 --> 00:24:42,872
Don Augustin Olvera
425
00:24:42,916 --> 00:24:46,180
was elected the first judge
of Los Angeles.
