1
00:00:05,458 --> 00:00:10,458
Narrator:
Previously on "The American West"...
2
00:00:11,166 --> 00:00:13,125
in the wake of the Civil War,
3
00:00:13,166 --> 00:00:15,667
the country is in turmoil.
4
00:00:15,667 --> 00:00:17,667
The South is rising up again,
5
00:00:17,667 --> 00:00:22,125
led by ex-Confederate soldiers like Jesse James...
6
00:00:22,125 --> 00:00:24,208
I'm gonna make this right.
7
00:00:24,208 --> 00:00:25,542
...who takes his hatred for the Union...
8
00:00:25,542 --> 00:00:27,250
Everything in your vault.
9
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:29,375
...and becomes an outlaw.
10
00:00:31,709 --> 00:00:34,166
Desperate to unite the country,
11
00:00:34,166 --> 00:00:37,083
the government looks west,
12
00:00:37,083 --> 00:00:39,583
hoping that by settling the frontier,
13
00:00:39,583 --> 00:00:44,166
America can put their differences behind them.
14
00:00:44,166 --> 00:00:48,208
But as settlers head west, they encounter Indians,
15
00:00:48,208 --> 00:00:51,667
like fierce Lakota warrior Crazy Horse,
16
00:00:51,667 --> 00:00:55,041
who are prepared to defend their land to the death.
17
00:00:56,041 --> 00:00:57,291
In response,
18
00:00:57,291 --> 00:01:00,208
head of the US Army, Ulysses S. Grant,
19
00:01:00,208 --> 00:01:02,333
orders his most aggressive officer,
20
00:01:02,375 --> 00:01:06,333
George Armstrong Custer, to send a message.
21
00:01:06,333 --> 00:01:07,792
Get the men ready.
22
00:01:07,792 --> 00:01:11,417
I wanna hit them
with everything we've got.
23
00:01:11,417 --> 00:01:14,125
( theme music playing )
24
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,417
Hup. Hyah!
25
00:02:27,417 --> 00:02:29,166
- ( gunfire )
- ( people shouting )
26
00:02:29,166 --> 00:02:30,625
Man:
Fire!
27
00:02:30,625 --> 00:02:32,208
Hyah!
28
00:02:36,208 --> 00:02:37,500
( whooping )
29
00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:46,667
( horse whinnies )
30
00:02:57,417 --> 00:02:59,500
Hyah!
31
00:03:06,583 --> 00:03:09,500
Narrator:
On November 27th, 1868,
32
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,709
George Armstrong Custer leads a brutal attack
33
00:03:12,709 --> 00:03:16,625
on an Indian camp near the Washita River.
34
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:22,709
An estimated 150 Cheyenne are killed,
35
00:03:22,709 --> 00:03:24,792
and what remains of their village
36
00:03:24,792 --> 00:03:27,250
is burned to the ground.
37
00:03:32,208 --> 00:03:37,583
It will come to be known as the Washita Massacre.
38
00:03:37,583 --> 00:03:40,542
Mark Lee Gardner:
Custer splits his command up into four battalions.
39
00:03:45,291 --> 00:03:47,208
He wants to encircle
this village
40
00:03:47,208 --> 00:03:49,208
and make sure there's
no possibility of escape.
41
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:52,333
He burned the village, burned their lodges.
42
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:55,417
He killed 800 horses.
43
00:03:55,417 --> 00:03:59,458
It's a complete disaster for this Southern Cheyenne tribe.
44
00:04:04,834 --> 00:04:07,001
Narrator:
In the press, the attack is hailed
45
00:04:07,001 --> 00:04:11,250
as the first significant American victory in the Indian Wars
46
00:04:11,250 --> 00:04:13,875
and gives Custer the glory he's been after
47
00:04:13,875 --> 00:04:15,834
since the Civil War.
48
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,500
Paul Hutton:
For Custer, it was another great victory.
49
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:23,750
It assured his place
50
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:25,917
as the premier Indian fighter
in the United States
51
00:04:25,917 --> 00:04:29,291
and made him famous
once again.
52
00:04:29,291 --> 00:04:31,625
Narrator:
Custer's mission was to put an end
53
00:04:31,625 --> 00:04:35,375
to Indian attacks in the West,
54
00:04:35,375 --> 00:04:37,875
but the fighting persists.
55
00:04:53,917 --> 00:04:55,667
- ( groans )
- ( Native Americans whooping )
56
00:04:55,667 --> 00:04:58,417
- ( men shouting )
- ( gunfire )
57
00:05:15,667 --> 00:05:18,709
In hindsight,
I don't think the Indian Wars
58
00:05:18,709 --> 00:05:21,500
could have been avoided,
because in those days
59
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,834
you settle scores
with fighting.
60
00:05:24,875 --> 00:05:28,875
The West was to be conquered by the strongest,
61
00:05:28,875 --> 00:05:31,834
and the Indians
were great warriors, too.
62
00:05:34,001 --> 00:05:36,375
Narrator:
As the violence continues,
63
00:05:36,375 --> 00:05:39,417
back in Washington, there's hope.
64
00:05:40,917 --> 00:05:44,875
The country has just elected a new president--
65
00:05:44,875 --> 00:05:47,959
former head of the US Army,
66
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:50,417
Ulysses S. Grant.
67
00:05:50,417 --> 00:05:53,583
H.W. Brands:
Grant was a very reluctant political candidate.
68
00:05:53,583 --> 00:05:55,709
People who wanted him
to run would say,
69
00:05:55,709 --> 00:05:58,625
"General Grant,
if you don't run,
70
00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:01,625
then the victories
that your soldiers won
71
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:03,709
at such cost
on the battlefield
72
00:06:03,709 --> 00:06:07,333
will be lost in the realm of politics.
73
00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:10,709
We need your leadership in the White House.
74
00:06:10,709 --> 00:06:13,959
Only you
can bring this country
back together again."
75
00:06:16,458 --> 00:06:19,959
Our reports indicate
around 1,000 Indian lodges...
76
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:22,542
Narrator:
Up until now, Grant has led the army
77
00:06:22,542 --> 00:06:26,458
in their fight to protect settlers moving west.
78
00:06:26,458 --> 00:06:29,959
So as president, one of his first orders of business
79
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:32,000
is to end the violence with the Indians
80
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
once and for all.
81
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,417
What's going through
the heads of Americans
82
00:06:37,417 --> 00:06:39,875
in dealing with
the Native Americans
in the 1860s
83
00:06:39,875 --> 00:06:43,834
can be looked at through Ulysses S. Grant.
84
00:06:43,834 --> 00:06:46,959
Settlers going out west were getting killed,
85
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:51,375
and his responsibility is to protect American lives.
86
00:06:51,375 --> 00:06:54,709
Here is a man
who is actually
disgusted by war,
87
00:06:54,709 --> 00:06:58,583
but there are lots of forces
within his own beloved army,
88
00:06:58,583 --> 00:07:02,500
like William Tecumseh Sherman who's in charge of the army,
89
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,125
who are pushing the policy of
"Let's get rid of them."
90
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:16,125
Any Indian who reports
to the reservation
91
00:07:16,125 --> 00:07:18,709
will be fed, clothed,
and educated.
92
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:25,458
All due respect, sir,
many of them don't
want that.
93
00:07:25,458 --> 00:07:28,709
A good number
will be more receptive
than you think.
94
00:07:30,041 --> 00:07:32,125
They will be
taught to farm.
95
00:07:32,125 --> 00:07:35,001
They will learn
Western culture.
96
00:07:35,001 --> 00:07:37,583
And those
that don't report?
97
00:07:37,583 --> 00:07:38,959
Do we consider them
hostiles?
98
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,625
No, we don't.
99
00:07:42,834 --> 00:07:44,917
I didn't say it was
going to be easy.
100
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:49,875
Nothing worth having is.
101
00:07:52,875 --> 00:07:55,834
Brands:
Grant viewed the Indians with considerably more compassion
102
00:07:55,834 --> 00:07:57,959
than many of his contemporaries.
103
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:00,959
So instead
of driving the Indians
off of all of the land,
104
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:02,917
instead of exterminating
the Indians
105
00:08:02,917 --> 00:08:05,792
as many people
of Grant's day advocated,
106
00:08:05,792 --> 00:08:09,792
Grant said, "No, we need to set aside territory where they can live.
107
00:08:09,792 --> 00:08:12,959
Territory for their uses
and not for settlers.
108
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,583
Settlers are going
to have to stay off that."
109
00:08:15,583 --> 00:08:17,667
The policy of reservations.
110
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:21,875
Narrator:
In the Great Plains,
111
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:24,500
nearly 40,000 square miles of land
112
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,792
are reserved for the Lakota Sioux--
113
00:08:26,792 --> 00:08:29,750
roughly the size of the state of Ohio.
114
00:08:32,834 --> 00:08:35,625
And the US government makes a promise
115
00:08:35,625 --> 00:08:39,083
to never interfere with the new Indian territory.
116
00:08:42,041 --> 00:08:44,834
Many Indians agree to the peace treaty
117
00:08:44,834 --> 00:08:47,083
and move onto the reservations.
118
00:08:50,583 --> 00:08:54,041
But some, like Lakota warrior Crazy Horse,
119
00:08:54,083 --> 00:08:56,542
refuse to give up their way of life.
120
00:08:59,792 --> 00:09:01,834
Robert Redford:
If you're a nomadic hunter and you're moving
121
00:09:01,834 --> 00:09:03,750
and you take away that chance to move,
122
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:06,792
you can imagine
it's the beginning
of the end for you.
123
00:09:06,792 --> 00:09:08,208
And I imagine
they saw that coming,
124
00:09:08,208 --> 00:09:10,041
and they had
to fight against it.
125
00:09:12,542 --> 00:09:14,000
I don't blame them.
126
00:09:17,875 --> 00:09:21,750
Narrator:
As Crazy Horse continues to resist,
127
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:25,166
he gets the attention of one of the most respected Lakota chiefs
128
00:09:25,208 --> 00:09:27,917
in the Great Plains.
129
00:09:27,917 --> 00:09:30,750
His name is Sitting Bull.
130
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:36,875
Karl Jacoby:
Sitting Bull was known both as a great spiritual guide
131
00:09:36,875 --> 00:09:38,917
and also someone who had tremendous success
132
00:09:38,917 --> 00:09:41,792
during warfare,
and he was much older,
133
00:09:41,792 --> 00:09:44,792
at least probably a decade
older than Crazy Horse,
134
00:09:44,792 --> 00:09:47,041
and in many respects
better established.
135
00:09:48,875 --> 00:09:50,542
Narrator:
Sitting Bull knows
136
00:09:50,542 --> 00:09:53,291
his people need to form a united front,
137
00:09:53,291 --> 00:09:56,792
so he calls a meeting of Lakota leaders.
138
00:10:01,959 --> 00:10:04,208
( crickets chirping )
139
00:10:07,583 --> 00:10:10,750
( speaking Lakota )
140
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:56,583
Narrator:
While thousands of other Indians
141
00:10:56,583 --> 00:10:58,959
continue to live on reservations,
142
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:02,834
Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and their followers refuse.
143
00:11:05,166 --> 00:11:07,792
But they also agree not to fight,
144
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:10,667
and a fragile peace is established.
145
00:11:12,709 --> 00:11:14,625
( screeching )
146
00:11:14,625 --> 00:11:19,333
As America gets back to settling the frontier,
147
00:11:19,333 --> 00:11:23,208
a new kind of businessman emerges
148
00:11:23,208 --> 00:11:26,625
who sees only one thing in the West--
149
00:11:26,625 --> 00:11:29,291
the opportunity to make a fortune.
150
00:11:33,875 --> 00:11:36,709
Narrator:
President Grant has made peace with the Indians...
151
00:11:40,625 --> 00:11:42,750
allowing the country to move forward
152
00:11:42,750 --> 00:11:44,917
with its plan of settling the West.
153
00:11:57,041 --> 00:12:00,083
Sir, here's
the latest track map.
154
00:12:00,083 --> 00:12:01,917
Narrator:
A new breed of businessman
155
00:12:01,917 --> 00:12:04,625
is taking full advantage of the westward expansion.
156
00:12:04,625 --> 00:12:06,959
We build north to Columbus,
then south to Grand Island,
157
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:09,417
and then we go out
the North Platte route
158
00:12:09,417 --> 00:12:12,166
when we can no longer
reasonably delay that.
159
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:13,834
But, sir, that would add
hundreds of miles
160
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:15,792
of unnecessary track.
161
00:12:15,792 --> 00:12:18,125
The government pays us
for each mile of track
we complete.
162
00:12:18,125 --> 00:12:20,291
Why would we design
a shorter route?
163
00:12:21,208 --> 00:12:23,208
- Well, sir--
- Get it done.
164
00:12:25,834 --> 00:12:27,417
Yes, sir.
165
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:36,834
Narrator:
Thomas Durant, president of the Union Pacific Railroad,
166
00:12:36,834 --> 00:12:40,917
has turned progress into millions in profits.
167
00:12:40,917 --> 00:12:42,417
Eisenbach:
A guy like Durant,
168
00:12:42,417 --> 00:12:45,750
he's facing off against other railroad barons,
169
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:49,750
guys who didn't think twice
about cutting a corner here
170
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:53,041
in order to put your nose
in the dirt.
171
00:12:53,041 --> 00:12:55,250
If you weren't being ruthless,
172
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:58,083
your competition was,
and they were going
to kill you.
173
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:05,959
Man:
I've been pushing them very hard.
174
00:13:05,959 --> 00:13:07,500
If you want me to start
working them 12 hours a day,
175
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:09,125
I can do that.
176
00:13:09,166 --> 00:13:10,792
I think that would probably
help us catch up.
177
00:13:10,792 --> 00:13:12,333
We are over budget
and we're out of time.
178
00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:14,000
Get to work.
179
00:13:15,208 --> 00:13:17,001
Narrator:
Durant has been racing
180
00:13:17,001 --> 00:13:19,917
to complete his most ambitious project to date...
181
00:13:24,792 --> 00:13:28,542
a rail line connecting the country from east to west.
182
00:13:31,417 --> 00:13:33,333
Brands:
The Transcontinental Railroad
183
00:13:33,333 --> 00:13:36,375
was the biggest public works project of its time.
184
00:13:36,375 --> 00:13:38,083
Probably the biggest
public works project
185
00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:40,041
of the 19th century.
186
00:13:42,208 --> 00:13:44,333
Narrator:
Nearly 2,000 miles of track
187
00:13:44,333 --> 00:13:46,417
are laid out across the country,
188
00:13:46,417 --> 00:13:49,875
cutting through ravines, solid granite mountain ranges,
189
00:13:49,875 --> 00:13:52,458
and unmapped Indian territory.
190
00:13:52,458 --> 00:13:56,125
It's one of the most ambitious engineering projects
191
00:13:56,125 --> 00:13:58,458
the world has ever seen.
192
00:14:02,917 --> 00:14:05,291
Now with the railroad nearly done,
193
00:14:05,291 --> 00:14:07,041
Durant is ready to unveil
194
00:14:07,041 --> 00:14:10,041
his crowning achievement to the world.
195
00:14:19,917 --> 00:14:21,917
Durant:
There are plenty
of festivities planned
196
00:14:21,917 --> 00:14:25,333
to help celebrate
this grand joining
of east and west,
197
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:29,417
the first
transcontinental railroad
in the entire world.
198
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:34,834
How much
is the golden spike worth?
199
00:14:34,834 --> 00:14:37,250
( laughs )
Next thing I know,
200
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:39,333
you'll be wanting to pry it
right out of the tracks, right?
201
00:14:39,375 --> 00:14:41,166
( laughter )
202
00:14:45,542 --> 00:14:47,959
- Mr. Durant.
- Ahem.
203
00:14:51,625 --> 00:14:55,583
Henceforth,
there shall be but one
204
00:14:55,583 --> 00:14:58,333
Pacific Railroad.
205
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:03,125
( applause )
206
00:15:03,125 --> 00:15:06,083
Walter Borneman:
This joining of the rails at Promontory Summit
207
00:15:06,083 --> 00:15:09,875
in terms of the American psyche really can't be overstated.
208
00:15:09,875 --> 00:15:14,083
It's not unlike men
walking on the moon
a century later.
209
00:15:14,083 --> 00:15:17,458
Narrator:
The golden spike is connected to a telegraph wire,
210
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:20,542
and when it's struck, it's instantly telegraphed
211
00:15:20,542 --> 00:15:22,375
to stations across the country,
212
00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:27,041
all the way from Utah to Washington, DC.
213
00:15:29,291 --> 00:15:31,250
Man:
"To His Excellency
214
00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:34,208
General U.S. Grant,President of the United States,
215
00:15:34,208 --> 00:15:36,917
we have the honor to report the last rail is laid,
216
00:15:36,917 --> 00:15:39,083
the last spike is driven,
217
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:40,583
the Pacific Railroad
is finished."
218
00:15:40,583 --> 00:15:44,291
- Congratulations!
- ( laughter )
219
00:15:45,291 --> 00:15:46,959
Man #2:
Hear, hear.
220
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:48,917
The Union Pacific,
gentlemen!
221
00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:54,083
( chatter )
222
00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:56,959
Narrator:
After years of turmoil out west,
223
00:15:56,959 --> 00:15:59,542
President Grant knows this puts America
224
00:15:59,542 --> 00:16:02,333
on the cusp of a new era.
225
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:09,417
Borneman:
For many years, the concept of frontier in America
226
00:16:09,417 --> 00:16:13,166
has really been that of a line moving westward.
227
00:16:13,166 --> 00:16:18,000
But what the railroads did
is they obliterated that line.
228
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,959
Suddenly the frontier was all over the place,
229
00:16:21,959 --> 00:16:25,291
and civilization was filling in
the blank spots on the map
230
00:16:25,291 --> 00:16:26,959
in a very speedy fashion.
231
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:34,417
Narrator:
As settlers flock west,
232
00:16:34,417 --> 00:16:37,333
an economic boom follows.
233
00:16:38,583 --> 00:16:41,250
And big business in the East
234
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:44,583
begins investing in the West.
235
00:16:44,583 --> 00:16:47,500
Brands:
This was the way you built an economy.
236
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,542
It meant that there were
new outlets for investment.
237
00:16:50,583 --> 00:16:53,542
There were new outlets
for speculation.
238
00:16:53,542 --> 00:16:56,458
There were lots of people who made money from the Transcontinental Railroad.
239
00:16:56,458 --> 00:16:59,250
There were more people
that were going to make money
from more railroads
240
00:16:59,291 --> 00:17:01,583
and from the economic
spin-offs of railroads.
241
00:17:11,125 --> 00:17:14,166
Narrator:
But where most of the country sees progress,
242
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:16,375
some see a target.
243
00:17:19,291 --> 00:17:21,583
Like outlaw Jesse James.
244
00:17:21,583 --> 00:17:24,041
( train whistle blows )
245
00:17:35,458 --> 00:17:37,542
( chatter )
246
00:17:40,208 --> 00:17:42,625
I'm going to be here.
Train's going to slow down.
247
00:17:42,625 --> 00:17:45,458
That's going to give us
plenty of time.
248
00:17:45,458 --> 00:17:47,709
See how it comes around
this bend here?
249
00:17:47,709 --> 00:17:49,625
That's where we're going
to hit it, okay?
250
00:17:51,667 --> 00:17:53,750
Narrator:
In the years following the Civil War,
251
00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:56,166
Jesse James and his brother Frank
252
00:17:56,166 --> 00:17:59,250
have been on a crusade against the Union,
253
00:17:59,250 --> 00:18:02,291
and the young outlawhas quickly established himself
254
00:18:02,291 --> 00:18:05,542
as one of the most feared bank robbers in the country.
255
00:18:05,542 --> 00:18:07,333
Burt Reynolds:
I think he was just angry
256
00:18:07,333 --> 00:18:10,417
about the way the country was coming together.
257
00:18:10,417 --> 00:18:11,750
So he said,
"To hell with it.
258
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:14,417
I'll just weaken you
at the knees."
259
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:20,166
Narrator:
Now with railroads expanding across the country,
260
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:21,709
Jesse sees another symbol
261
00:18:21,709 --> 00:18:24,125
of the North's oppression of the South.
262
00:18:24,125 --> 00:18:27,041
( whistle blows )
263
00:18:29,709 --> 00:18:33,083
Redford:
Railroad was on one track, and it was kind of stuck.
264
00:18:33,083 --> 00:18:34,625
And they had horses.
265
00:18:34,625 --> 00:18:37,750
So they could rob a train,
then ride away.
266
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:40,417
( whistle blows )
267
00:18:45,208 --> 00:18:48,458
- ( men chattering )
- Come on, boys, now.
Put your back into it.
268
00:18:48,458 --> 00:18:50,125
We got a schedule.
269
00:18:50,125 --> 00:18:52,125
Watch your toes on that.
270
00:18:52,125 --> 00:18:54,792
Now get those up
in a nice big X up here.
271
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:02,667
( whistle blows )
272
00:19:07,417 --> 00:19:09,834
( screeching )
273
00:19:21,375 --> 00:19:24,125
We'll get this thing going
as soon as we can.
274
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:32,417
- ( gunshot )
- ( women scream )
275
00:19:32,417 --> 00:19:34,583
Ladies and gentlemen,
276
00:19:34,583 --> 00:19:37,834
I apologize
for the inconvenience.
277
00:19:37,834 --> 00:19:39,834
If you will kindly present
your valuables,
278
00:19:39,834 --> 00:19:42,417
we'll have you on your way
in no time.
279
00:19:52,333 --> 00:19:54,458
That's a nice watch.
280
00:19:54,458 --> 00:19:58,333
Yes, it is.
My daddy gave it to me.
281
00:19:58,333 --> 00:20:00,542
Where you from?
282
00:20:00,542 --> 00:20:03,125
Kentucky.
283
00:20:03,125 --> 00:20:05,792
My daddy
was from Kentucky.
284
00:20:05,792 --> 00:20:07,667
He was a preacher.
285
00:20:12,917 --> 00:20:14,583
Take care of that.
286
00:20:14,583 --> 00:20:16,792
Thank you, sir.
287
00:20:16,792 --> 00:20:18,709
Smile, girls.
288
00:20:18,709 --> 00:20:21,208
Gonna have a nice story to tell your friends later.
289
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:28,458
That's a nice suit.
290
00:20:28,458 --> 00:20:32,250
Hey, Frank,
what do you think
about this suit?
291
00:20:32,250 --> 00:20:34,500
Boy don't look like
he's from around here.
292
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:36,667
Jesse:
No, he doesn't.
293
00:20:36,667 --> 00:20:38,625
Where you from?
294
00:20:38,625 --> 00:20:40,500
New York City.
295
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,333
New York City?
296
00:20:45,208 --> 00:20:46,834
What's that?
297
00:20:49,208 --> 00:20:51,208
G-A-R.
298
00:20:54,667 --> 00:20:56,875
That's the Grand Army
of the Republic.
299
00:21:00,250 --> 00:21:03,375
You know, I have
a Union bullet
in my lung.
300
00:21:09,291 --> 00:21:12,291
Jesse, we got what we need.
Let's be on our way now.
301
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:18,458
The war is over.
302
00:21:19,834 --> 00:21:22,333
Jesse.
303
00:21:22,333 --> 00:21:23,834
No, it's not.
304
00:21:48,667 --> 00:21:50,792
Narrator:
In his first train robbery,
305
00:21:50,792 --> 00:21:52,875
Jesse James steals the modern-day equivalent
306
00:21:52,875 --> 00:21:56,625
of $50,000,
307
00:21:56,625 --> 00:22:01,667
solidifying his reputation as a notorious outlaw.
308
00:22:03,375 --> 00:22:05,792
( horse whinnies )
309
00:22:08,333 --> 00:22:10,875
But while many fear Jesse James...
310
00:22:12,875 --> 00:22:16,583
one man sees his crime spree as an opportunity--
311
00:22:16,583 --> 00:22:20,667
Missouri newspaper editor John Newman Edwards.
312
00:22:20,667 --> 00:22:22,834
Gardner:
John Newman Edwards
313
00:22:22,834 --> 00:22:27,083
was probably the most hardcore
of Confederates,
314
00:22:27,083 --> 00:22:31,041
and in his opinion, southerners had been outlawed,
315
00:22:31,041 --> 00:22:33,417
disenfranchised
by the North.
316
00:22:33,417 --> 00:22:35,875
Narrator:
Edwards has been looking for a new way
317
00:22:35,875 --> 00:22:38,667
to push his Confederate agenda,
318
00:22:38,667 --> 00:22:42,125
and Jesse James might be the answer.
319
00:22:42,125 --> 00:22:45,375
( horse whinnies )
320
00:23:03,041 --> 00:23:04,709
Drink?
321
00:23:18,125 --> 00:23:20,041
To the Confederacy.
322
00:23:26,542 --> 00:23:29,125
- I was a soldier,
too, you know--
- What is it you want?
323
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:33,959
I wanna know why
you robbed that train.
324
00:23:39,959 --> 00:23:43,792
There aren't a lotof other ways to survive.
325
00:23:45,792 --> 00:23:49,500
Not for a soldier
who wore gray.
326
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:53,834
Jesse, you don't have
to be a common criminal
327
00:23:53,834 --> 00:23:55,834
running from the law.
328
00:23:55,834 --> 00:23:59,000
I can make you a hero.
329
00:23:59,041 --> 00:24:02,542
I don't need you
to make me anything.
330
00:24:03,917 --> 00:24:06,834
It's about more
than just you, Jesse.
331
00:24:09,625 --> 00:24:14,166
The Southern spirit,
it still lives.
332
00:24:14,166 --> 00:24:19,458
The people
who read my paper,
they believe.
333
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:23,041
But they want someone
to believe in.
334
00:24:23,041 --> 00:24:25,083
Someone like you.
335
00:24:28,083 --> 00:24:30,625
The South needs you.
336
00:24:37,709 --> 00:24:39,959
Now that you
put it that way...
337
00:24:49,542 --> 00:24:51,834
( whistle blows )
338
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:56,041
Narrator:
Jesse partners with Edwards
339
00:24:56,041 --> 00:24:58,583
and launches another robbing spree
340
00:24:58,583 --> 00:25:01,500
targeting northern wealth.
341
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:05,041
But now he has the power of the press behind him.
342
00:25:08,041 --> 00:25:10,208
Eisenbach:
It's impossible to talk about Jesse James
343
00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:12,834
without talking about John Newman Edwards,
344
00:25:12,834 --> 00:25:15,542
who really just becomes
Jesse James' publicist
345
00:25:15,542 --> 00:25:18,667
and is the one
who manufactures the myth
346
00:25:18,667 --> 00:25:20,834
of Jesse James the rebel
347
00:25:20,834 --> 00:25:23,542
who's on this mission to stick it to the establishment,
348
00:25:23,542 --> 00:25:26,750
justifying
these criminal acts.
349
00:25:28,542 --> 00:25:31,001
( gunfire )
350
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:34,208
Narrator:
Across the South,
351
00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:37,500
Jesse James is no longer seen as a criminal,
352
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:40,625
but as a hero for the Confederacy.
353
00:25:40,625 --> 00:25:41,959
There was a love affair
354
00:25:41,959 --> 00:25:43,875
with people that stood up
for themselves
355
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:47,583
and great stories of people like Jesse James.
356
00:25:47,583 --> 00:25:48,959
They were outlaws.
357
00:25:48,959 --> 00:25:51,083
They were wanted by the government,
358
00:25:51,083 --> 00:25:53,291
but they were standing up for themselves.
359
00:25:55,667 --> 00:25:58,125
Narrator:
With Jesse James and other outlaws like him
360
00:25:58,125 --> 00:25:59,583
terrorizing the railroads...
361
00:25:59,583 --> 00:26:01,250
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
362
00:26:01,250 --> 00:26:04,875
...the push to settle the West is once again at risk.
363
00:26:08,959 --> 00:26:13,083
Narrator:
President Grant is dealing with a growing outlaw problem
364
00:26:13,083 --> 00:26:16,959
that interferes with western expansion.
365
00:26:16,959 --> 00:26:21,166
But now he's about to face an even greater threat.
366
00:26:22,291 --> 00:26:24,583
( bell ringing )
367
00:26:30,291 --> 00:26:31,875
Durant:
"Julesburg cut denied.
368
00:26:31,875 --> 00:26:34,667
Propose reinforcement
of existing structure.
369
00:26:34,667 --> 00:26:38,542
Authorize expenditure
of no more than $7,500."
370
00:26:38,542 --> 00:26:40,291
Did you see this?
371
00:26:40,291 --> 00:26:43,001
This morning's
"New York Sun."
372
00:26:57,166 --> 00:26:59,166
How much do they know?
373
00:26:59,166 --> 00:27:01,083
Everything.
374
00:27:03,208 --> 00:27:06,250
Narrator:
An investigation finds that Thomas Durant,
375
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:08,125
the head of the Union Pacific
376
00:27:08,125 --> 00:27:11,125
and the hero of the Transcontinental Railroad,
377
00:27:11,125 --> 00:27:13,667
has been stealing millions of dollars
378
00:27:13,667 --> 00:27:15,792
from the US government.
379
00:27:15,792 --> 00:27:17,834
Durant has been taking advantage
380
00:27:17,834 --> 00:27:21,166
of the government's offer to fund railroad construction
381
00:27:21,166 --> 00:27:25,959
by drastically overcharging for supplies and labor.
382
00:27:25,959 --> 00:27:30,750
He's pocketed $16.5 million of taxpayer money,
383
00:27:30,750 --> 00:27:33,291
all the while paying off politicians
384
00:27:33,291 --> 00:27:35,208
to look the other way.
385
00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:37,583
Eisenbach:
The railroads were being funded
386
00:27:37,583 --> 00:27:41,041
through these financial schemes
that were made possible
387
00:27:41,041 --> 00:27:46,000
by not only no regulations,
but members of Congress
388
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,709
who were actually
in on the schemes,
389
00:27:48,709 --> 00:27:50,792
being paid off by the corporations
390
00:27:50,792 --> 00:27:54,125
and given stocks at discounted rates.
391
00:27:54,125 --> 00:27:56,917
The American public
is furious.
392
00:28:00,834 --> 00:28:05,166
Your Honor,
I have here receipts
393
00:28:05,208 --> 00:28:07,333
showing that the cost
of construction
394
00:28:07,333 --> 00:28:11,125
was less than half of what Mr. Durant estimated.
395
00:28:11,125 --> 00:28:14,875
Mr. Durant,
I ask you,
396
00:28:14,875 --> 00:28:16,625
what happened
to the rest of the money?
397
00:28:16,625 --> 00:28:19,083
We have a right to make
a reasonable profit.
398
00:28:19,083 --> 00:28:22,000
A reasonable amount?
100% is a reasonable amount?
399
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,166
Well, who is to define
what is reasonable
400
00:28:24,166 --> 00:28:26,917
and what
is not reasonable?
401
00:28:26,959 --> 00:28:30,667
Mr. Durant, our recordsclearly indicate
402
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:33,667
that you've made
a profit of over 100%,
403
00:28:33,667 --> 00:28:35,750
with no records
of where that money is.
404
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:38,750
So I ask you again,
where is the money,
Mr. Durant?
405
00:28:44,917 --> 00:28:49,001
Narrator:
Once the scheme is exposed, investors run scared
406
00:28:49,001 --> 00:28:51,250
and railroad stocks plummet,
407
00:28:51,250 --> 00:28:54,709
leaving the nation's economy in jeopardy.
408
00:28:54,709 --> 00:28:56,041
Borneman:
Everyone is so excited
409
00:28:56,083 --> 00:28:59,417
about pouring money into railroads,
410
00:28:59,417 --> 00:29:02,083
but when the scandal breaks on the scene,
411
00:29:02,083 --> 00:29:05,083
suddenly railroads don't look too good.
412
00:29:05,125 --> 00:29:07,417
It's really not unlike
the dot-com bubble
413
00:29:07,417 --> 00:29:09,291
of the late 1990s.
414
00:29:09,291 --> 00:29:11,959
Everyone gets overextended.
415
00:29:11,959 --> 00:29:15,917
And at some point, all bubbles burst.
416
00:29:15,917 --> 00:29:19,834
Narrator:
One-third of the country's 360 railroad companies
417
00:29:19,834 --> 00:29:21,333
go bankrupt,
418
00:29:21,333 --> 00:29:25,001
sending the economy into a tailspin.
419
00:29:25,001 --> 00:29:27,458
It's the crisis that comes to be known
420
00:29:27,458 --> 00:29:30,834
as the Panic of 1873.
421
00:29:30,834 --> 00:29:32,375
The Panic of 1873
422
00:29:32,375 --> 00:29:35,709
resulted from overexpansion
in railroads,
423
00:29:35,709 --> 00:29:37,917
speculation in railroads,
424
00:29:37,917 --> 00:29:41,917
and it brought down much of the American financial industry.
425
00:29:41,917 --> 00:29:45,083
The financial panic spread
to the broader economy.
426
00:29:47,792 --> 00:29:50,375
Narrator:
The panic causes the New York Stock Exchange
427
00:29:50,375 --> 00:29:53,917
to close for 10 days.
428
00:29:53,917 --> 00:29:58,166
And America descends into its first great depression.
429
00:30:07,917 --> 00:30:13,166
The nation plummets nearly $2 billion into debt,
430
00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:16,083
20,000 businesses close,
431
00:30:16,083 --> 00:30:19,375
and one in eight Americans are left unemployed.
432
00:30:22,208 --> 00:30:26,792
Hutton:
I think there was a sense of desperation.
433
00:30:26,792 --> 00:30:28,792
Conditions were very harsh,
434
00:30:28,792 --> 00:30:31,208
and the promises made
by the railroad companies
435
00:30:31,208 --> 00:30:33,792
didn't pan out.
436
00:30:42,542 --> 00:30:45,166
Narrator:
As his first term nears its end,
437
00:30:45,166 --> 00:30:47,083
President Grant is desperate
438
00:30:47,083 --> 00:30:50,291
to pull America out of the crisis.
439
00:30:50,291 --> 00:30:53,333
( men chattering )
440
00:31:00,041 --> 00:31:03,792
Man:
The Treasury has given and given and given, right?
441
00:31:05,959 --> 00:31:07,792
What is it?
442
00:31:11,291 --> 00:31:13,125
Gold.
443
00:31:24,166 --> 00:31:27,083
Narrator:
Nearly 1,600 miles from Washington,
444
00:31:27,083 --> 00:31:30,375
rumor of gold deep in the Black Hills of the Dakotas
445
00:31:30,375 --> 00:31:32,125
is beginning to spread.
446
00:31:35,375 --> 00:31:37,959
The only problem-- the Black Hills
447
00:31:37,959 --> 00:31:40,917
are located on Indian territory...
448
00:31:43,458 --> 00:31:46,291
the same land Grant promised the Lakota
449
00:31:46,291 --> 00:31:48,333
he would never touch.
450
00:31:53,166 --> 00:31:56,542
During the worst depression in US history,
451
00:31:56,542 --> 00:31:58,917
President Grant hears rumors of gold
452
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:01,291
on the Lakota Sioux reservation...
453
00:32:03,417 --> 00:32:05,542
land that he promised the Indians
454
00:32:05,542 --> 00:32:08,041
would remain untouched.
455
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:16,417
Hoping to avoid a new conflict with the Indians,
456
00:32:16,417 --> 00:32:19,625
Grant and General Sherman plan a secret expedition
457
00:32:19,625 --> 00:32:22,083
to verify the find,
458
00:32:22,083 --> 00:32:24,667
and they call on their top commander in the West.
459
00:32:31,125 --> 00:32:32,500
Mr. President.
460
00:32:36,959 --> 00:32:38,125
Have a seat.
461
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:44,125
There are rumors of gold
in the Black Hills.
462
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:49,709
We need you to take
a small team of miners...
463
00:32:49,709 --> 00:32:51,458
and find out
if these rumors
are true.
464
00:32:51,458 --> 00:32:54,250
I need you to evaluate how much gold there is,
465
00:32:54,250 --> 00:32:56,125
where it's located,
466
00:32:56,125 --> 00:32:58,125
and then directly
report back to us.
467
00:32:58,125 --> 00:33:00,959
Report to us
and only us.
468
00:33:04,709 --> 00:33:07,625
Is that clear?
469
00:33:09,166 --> 00:33:11,458
Yes, Mr. President.
470
00:33:15,709 --> 00:33:18,000
Narrator:
For George Armstrong Custer,
471
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,625
the mission is about more than just finding gold.
472
00:33:24,291 --> 00:33:27,208
Eisenbach:
Custer is seeing himself
473
00:33:27,208 --> 00:33:30,709
as a man who's got
this opportunity.
474
00:33:32,417 --> 00:33:36,083
The opportunity to become this national hero
475
00:33:36,083 --> 00:33:39,208
by leading this expedition that is going to solve
476
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:40,750
all of Americans' financial problems
477
00:33:40,750 --> 00:33:43,125
by getting
this mother lode of gold
478
00:33:43,125 --> 00:33:45,458
that could be bigger
than the California Gold Rush.
479
00:33:45,458 --> 00:33:48,583
He's got to come up with a big victory here.
480
00:34:38,709 --> 00:34:40,625
Custer:
"Our initial survey suggests
481
00:34:40,625 --> 00:34:44,583
significant deposits in the eastern Black Hills,
482
00:34:44,583 --> 00:34:47,375
and I expect
in the next several days
483
00:34:47,375 --> 00:34:50,750
we will find more gold
than this country
has ever seen.
484
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:55,500
Triumphantly Yours,
485
00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:58,291
Lieutenant Colonel
George Armstrong Custer."
486
00:34:59,458 --> 00:35:01,083
Send a copy of that to Washington
487
00:35:01,083 --> 00:35:02,792
as soon as you get to Fort Laramie.
488
00:35:02,792 --> 00:35:04,625
Yes, sir.
489
00:35:04,667 --> 00:35:07,250
And send a copy of it
to James Gordon Bennett
490
00:35:07,250 --> 00:35:09,166
at the "New York Herald."
491
00:35:09,166 --> 00:35:10,667
Sir?
492
00:35:10,667 --> 00:35:12,667
You have your orders.
493
00:35:12,667 --> 00:35:14,542
Yes, sir.
494
00:35:22,583 --> 00:35:25,083
Narrator:
Looking to advance his own fame,
495
00:35:25,083 --> 00:35:29,250
Custer announces his discovery to the national press.
496
00:35:34,625 --> 00:35:38,458
The country was in the midst
of a very, very deep depression,
497
00:35:38,458 --> 00:35:41,583
so gold in the Black Hills had everyone excited.
498
00:35:44,333 --> 00:35:47,875
Custer started this stampede into the most sacred Indian land.
499
00:35:50,709 --> 00:35:53,500
Narrator:
When news of the discovery spreads,
500
00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:56,333
thousands of miners flood the Black Hills,
501
00:35:56,333 --> 00:35:59,750
a direct violation of the terms of the peace treaty.
502
00:36:03,250 --> 00:36:05,166
Grant:
Damn Custer.
503
00:36:06,333 --> 00:36:08,750
He has got us
in a hell of a spot.
504
00:36:12,208 --> 00:36:15,166
We've had five yearsof peace with the Indians.
505
00:36:16,625 --> 00:36:18,625
Now I'm supposed
to throw it all away
506
00:36:18,625 --> 00:36:20,917
over gold.
507
00:36:24,291 --> 00:36:30,291
Perhaps, sir,
it's not Custer that's
truly the issue here.
508
00:36:30,291 --> 00:36:32,667
What you've done with the Indians is admirable.
509
00:36:32,667 --> 00:36:34,667
It really is.
510
00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:38,291
But right now
our own people
are starving.
511
00:36:38,291 --> 00:36:40,625
What are those people going to say
512
00:36:40,625 --> 00:36:43,625
when they find out that their president
513
00:36:43,625 --> 00:36:47,834
had a chance to end the worst suffering they've ever known,
514
00:36:47,834 --> 00:36:50,250
but chose not to?
515
00:36:52,250 --> 00:36:56,291
Brands:
There was strong sentiment in Congress in favor of
516
00:36:56,291 --> 00:36:58,291
"Open this territory to the settlers.
517
00:36:58,291 --> 00:37:00,834
Let's take advantage
of these gifts
518
00:37:00,834 --> 00:37:04,500
that God has placed there,
hidden them from the Indians."
519
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:06,834
Once the news of gold in the Black Hills got out,
520
00:37:06,834 --> 00:37:09,667
then Grant's peace policy was in tatters.
521
00:37:11,959 --> 00:37:16,500
Narrator:
Grant has to decide how far he's willing to go
522
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:19,333
to keep peace with the Indians.
523
00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:27,667
Narrator: As President Grant deals with a crippling economic depression
524
00:37:27,667 --> 00:37:30,792
and a brewing conflict with the Indians...
525
00:37:32,917 --> 00:37:35,792
900 miles away in Missouri,
526
00:37:35,792 --> 00:37:37,709
one man has found his own way
527
00:37:37,709 --> 00:37:40,542
of disrupting westward expansion.
528
00:37:52,333 --> 00:37:53,792
How you feeling?
529
00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:58,500
Hey,
I ever tell you that joke
about the pig and the cow?
530
00:37:58,500 --> 00:37:59,834
Why don't you
tell me that joke?
531
00:37:59,834 --> 00:38:02,250
All right, then.
532
00:38:02,250 --> 00:38:04,917
Cow came up to a pig
on the train tracks,
533
00:38:04,917 --> 00:38:08,250
said, "Moo-ve over,
you're hogging up
the road."
534
00:38:08,250 --> 00:38:11,291
( both laugh )
535
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:14,500
That is not a funny joke.
536
00:38:17,458 --> 00:38:20,458
Well, humor's never beenmy strong suit.
537
00:38:21,709 --> 00:38:25,750
( distant train whistle blowing )
538
00:38:28,333 --> 00:38:31,500
Ask me, this is
my favorite part
right here.
539
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,417
( whistle blowing )
540
00:38:34,417 --> 00:38:36,000
We're about to make
some money today, boy.
541
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,750
That's right.
542
00:38:43,709 --> 00:38:46,041
( gunshot )
543
00:38:46,041 --> 00:38:49,792
Narrator:
Train robberies by Jesse James and his brother Frank
544
00:38:49,792 --> 00:38:53,667
are wreaking havoc on the country's railroad industry.
545
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:57,291
Over a six-month period,
546
00:38:57,291 --> 00:38:59,875
Jesse and his gang commit a string of robberies,
547
00:38:59,875 --> 00:39:02,000
making off with the modern-day equivalent
548
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,750
of over $300,000.
549
00:39:06,750 --> 00:39:09,792
Gardner:
The railroads do not want robbers stopping their train.
550
00:39:09,792 --> 00:39:12,667
They don't want robbers
terrifying their passengers.
551
00:39:12,667 --> 00:39:14,291
It's bad for business.
552
00:39:14,291 --> 00:39:15,834
In fact, there was one railroad passenger
553
00:39:15,834 --> 00:39:17,917
who said, "I don't care
if it costs me $500.
554
00:39:17,917 --> 00:39:20,291
I'm not riding a train
through Missouri.
555
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:22,959
I'll go around through Iowa
or Minnesota or whatever,
556
00:39:22,959 --> 00:39:26,667
but I'm not
going to take a train
through the state of Missouri."
557
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:29,291
Narrator:
As their losses from robberies mount,
558
00:39:29,291 --> 00:39:31,875
railroad companies are desperate to put a stop
559
00:39:31,917 --> 00:39:34,583
to outlaws like Jesse James.
560
00:39:34,583 --> 00:39:37,792
It's going to require
a massive commitment
561
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:40,375
of personnel
and resources
562
00:39:40,375 --> 00:39:43,083
to clamping down on the likes of Jesse James.
563
00:39:43,083 --> 00:39:45,375
But you don't have an FBI.
564
00:39:45,375 --> 00:39:47,875
You don't have
a federal bureaucracy
565
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:52,500
and law enforcement armed
to protect business interests
across state lines,
566
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:54,625
and that is where
private business comes in.
567
00:40:03,500 --> 00:40:05,041
Narrator:
The railroad companies turn
568
00:40:05,041 --> 00:40:07,041
to the most famous private detective
569
00:40:07,041 --> 00:40:09,667
in the country for help.
570
00:40:09,667 --> 00:40:12,542
His name is Allan Pinkerton.
571
00:40:15,417 --> 00:40:18,375
Gardner:
Allan Pinkerton was part of the Union Intelligence Service
572
00:40:18,375 --> 00:40:19,959
during the Civil War.
573
00:40:19,959 --> 00:40:22,375
He gained fame
by preventing
574
00:40:22,375 --> 00:40:24,458
a supposed
assassination plot
575
00:40:24,458 --> 00:40:26,500
against President Abraham Lincoln.
576
00:40:28,583 --> 00:40:31,542
Narrator:
Following the war, Pinkerton moved to Chicago
577
00:40:31,542 --> 00:40:34,083
and opened the Pinkerton Detective Agency...
578
00:40:36,125 --> 00:40:39,125
pioneering modern investigative techniques
579
00:40:39,125 --> 00:40:42,834
and building massive dossiers on known criminals.
580
00:40:46,875 --> 00:40:51,041
With over 30,000 agents stationed across the country,
581
00:40:51,041 --> 00:40:53,458
Pinkerton commands a force
582
00:40:53,458 --> 00:40:55,917
larger than the US military.
583
00:40:58,625 --> 00:41:02,417
Now he has the biggest case in his company's history.
584
00:41:16,875 --> 00:41:21,083
He's smart,
ruthlessly violent,
and good with a gun.
585
00:41:23,041 --> 00:41:27,083
The bastard was
a Confederate guerilla
during the war.
586
00:41:27,083 --> 00:41:30,917
Lord knows how many
Union soldiers he killed.
587
00:41:30,917 --> 00:41:36,083
The Adams Express Companyis calling us in.
588
00:41:36,083 --> 00:41:39,583
They need this man
taken out of commission.
589
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:44,125
You can say no,of course.
590
00:41:45,625 --> 00:41:48,875
If you have any
reservations at all...
591
00:41:51,458 --> 00:41:53,000
you should.
592
00:41:54,542 --> 00:41:56,625
When do I leave?
593
00:42:00,208 --> 00:42:02,542
Narrator:
Joseph Witcher is one of Pinkerton's
594
00:42:02,542 --> 00:42:05,125
most talented young agents.
595
00:42:07,417 --> 00:42:10,959
His mission-- take down Jesse James.
596
00:42:12,792 --> 00:42:14,834
As the greatest detective agency
597
00:42:14,834 --> 00:42:18,750
hunts down the most infamous outlaw in the country
598
00:42:18,750 --> 00:42:20,792
and the pursuit of gold
599
00:42:20,792 --> 00:42:23,583
risks breaking peace with the Indians...
600
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:29,625
the fate of the nation hangs in the balance.
