Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,675 --> 00:00:11,176
This must be it.
We're slowing down.
2
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:14,812
It looks like
a lot of nothing.
3
00:00:16,082 --> 00:00:18,749
All the better.
No people, no danger.
4
00:00:18,751 --> 00:00:20,985
Whoops! Talked
a little too soon.
5
00:00:20,987 --> 00:00:22,587
There's a crowd
gathering out there.
6
00:00:22,589 --> 00:00:25,090
Two gophers
and a jackrabbit.
7
00:00:25,092 --> 00:00:27,058
Cover from the window.
8
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:29,827
I'll check the outside
to see if the area's clear.
9
00:00:39,338 --> 00:00:41,573
We're on the siding.
Not a soul in sight.
10
00:00:41,575 --> 00:00:43,007
Then, may I suggest,
gentlemen,
11
00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:44,709
that we get the horses
from the baggage car
12
00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:46,111
and be on our way?
13
00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:48,413
Uh, no, I don't believe
we should do that just yet, sir.
14
00:00:48,415 --> 00:00:51,048
Mr. West, your entire method
of procedure
15
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:53,751
leads me to believe I must be
the most unpopular leader
16
00:00:53,753 --> 00:00:54,952
since Genghis Khan.
17
00:00:56,022 --> 00:00:57,822
No, not at all, Mr. President.
18
00:00:57,824 --> 00:00:59,591
I'm sure you have
the respect and admiration
19
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:00,858
of most Americans.
20
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:02,994
Well, then-
21
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:04,662
But so did
President Lincoln, sir.
22
00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:08,633
All it takes, sir,
is one madman with a gun.
23
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,135
So what do you suggest?
24
00:01:10,137 --> 00:01:11,136
That you stay here
25
00:01:11,138 --> 00:01:12,504
while I ride ahead
to Gibsonville
26
00:01:12,506 --> 00:01:13,704
to look over
the situation.
27
00:01:13,706 --> 00:01:15,640
Aren't you afraid
that I might be bitten
28
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:17,609
by some enraged sand flea
while you're gone?
29
00:01:17,611 --> 00:01:20,077
Uh, Mr. Gordon will
stay here with you, sir.
30
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:22,547
He's an excellent marksman
with small targets.
31
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,083
All right, gentlemen.
32
00:01:26,085 --> 00:01:28,119
But it seems like
such a waste of time,
33
00:01:28,121 --> 00:01:30,921
all of these precautions
for a short stopover en route.
34
00:01:30,923 --> 00:01:31,922
Now, mind you...
35
00:01:31,924 --> 00:01:33,424
I must be on time
36
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:34,825
for that
San Francisco conference.
37
00:01:34,827 --> 00:01:36,261
We realize that, sir,
38
00:01:36,263 --> 00:01:38,596
but the war left a lot of wounds
that haven't been healed yet.
39
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:40,131
There are men who'd
like to see you dead.
40
00:01:40,133 --> 00:01:42,967
But Gibsonville is a Union town,
and we're going there
41
00:01:42,969 --> 00:01:45,836
to dedicate a statue
to a Union war hero.
42
00:01:45,838 --> 00:01:47,405
All the more reason
why the occasion
43
00:01:47,407 --> 00:01:48,973
might draw
your enemies, sir.
44
00:01:50,376 --> 00:01:52,009
Jim's right, sir.
45
00:01:52,011 --> 00:01:53,778
Very well.
46
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:55,146
I suppose I can endure
47
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:58,183
this oasis of luxury
for another 24 hours.
48
00:01:58,185 --> 00:01:59,784
But when I come riding in,
49
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:01,052
I shall expect to see
50
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:03,655
crowds of cheering people
lining the streets.
51
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:05,923
I'll do my best, sir.
52
00:02:05,925 --> 00:02:07,559
Have you ever been
to Gibsonville, sir?
53
00:02:07,561 --> 00:02:09,427
Many years ago...
54
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:10,728
I went there
to see an old friend,
55
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:12,163
Josiah Gibson.
56
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:13,764
It's a lovely town...
57
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:16,033
full of new buildings,
and growing fast.
58
00:02:16,035 --> 00:02:19,103
People were friendly...
industrious.
59
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:21,439
I imagine by now they've got
quite a little city.
60
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,180
You don't like
Indians?
61
00:03:36,182 --> 00:03:37,415
Sure, I do.
62
00:03:37,417 --> 00:03:39,417
Some of
my best friends.
63
00:03:39,419 --> 00:03:41,419
Then do you mind telling me
what you're doing?
64
00:03:41,421 --> 00:03:44,589
Doing? What am
I doing?
65
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:48,693
I'm digging for gold,
you darned fool.
66
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:51,429
What's it
look like?
67
00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:52,664
Question is...
68
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:54,165
what are you doing here?
69
00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:52,590
Speak up, man!
70
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:55,025
Who are you?
And what are you doing here?
71
00:04:55,027 --> 00:04:56,494
Uh, my name is James West,
72
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:59,063
and I'm just...looking
your town over.
73
00:04:59,065 --> 00:05:00,465
What happened
here?
74
00:05:02,133 --> 00:05:04,402
Bad epidemic hit the town.
75
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:06,838
You better move on fast
before it gets you.
76
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,073
Uh, what kind of epidemic?
77
00:05:09,075 --> 00:05:11,041
Broken necks.
78
00:05:11,043 --> 00:05:13,578
Real contagious.
79
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:15,045
You better ride on out.
80
00:05:15,047 --> 00:05:16,347
I'll think it over.
81
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:18,949
You, uh- You can go back
to your work now.
82
00:05:49,147 --> 00:05:51,382
"Colonel Wayne Gibson.
83
00:05:51,384 --> 00:05:54,552
"Who died gallantly in the
battle with his entire company
84
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:58,589
in the defense of Fort Stedman.
March 25th, 1865."
85
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:18,168
Stick 'em up. Stick 'em up.
86
00:07:21,974 --> 00:07:23,440
Good afternoon.
87
00:07:24,442 --> 00:07:26,644
May I help you?
88
00:07:26,646 --> 00:07:28,513
Is this hotel
open for business?
89
00:07:31,483 --> 00:07:33,217
Would you like
to rent a room?
90
00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:35,019
Perhaps. But I see
91
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:37,522
that you haven't had
a guest in six months.
92
00:07:37,524 --> 00:07:39,857
Business has been
a little slow lately.
93
00:07:55,073 --> 00:07:56,674
"James West."
94
00:07:56,676 --> 00:07:58,042
Is that right?
95
00:07:58,044 --> 00:07:59,109
Yes.
96
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:01,412
Welcome to Gibsonville,
Mr. West.
97
00:08:01,414 --> 00:08:02,580
Thank you, Miss-
98
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:04,882
Caine. Jennifer Caine.
99
00:08:06,418 --> 00:08:07,618
I'll show you to your room.
100
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:22,399
That's our sister!
101
00:08:51,063 --> 00:08:52,329
Aah!
102
00:09:11,016 --> 00:09:13,017
It's Chris Davidson.
103
00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:15,920
He's dead.
His neck's broken.
104
00:09:19,124 --> 00:09:20,992
Uh, you don't seem
too surprised.
105
00:09:22,293 --> 00:09:25,830
It's happened before...
all too often.
106
00:09:28,767 --> 00:09:29,767
What's that?
107
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:31,002
It's him.
108
00:10:07,005 --> 00:10:08,072
Do you expect me
to believe
109
00:10:08,074 --> 00:10:11,241
the music came
from this organ?
110
00:10:11,243 --> 00:10:13,310
I only know what's
happened before.
111
00:10:13,312 --> 00:10:16,113
I met Davidson briefly
before he died.
112
00:10:16,115 --> 00:10:18,716
He spoke of an epidemic
of broken necks. True?
113
00:10:18,718 --> 00:10:22,319
There have been
other murders like this...
114
00:10:22,321 --> 00:10:25,589
and each time,
the organ played...
115
00:10:25,591 --> 00:10:27,524
as though from beyond the grave.
116
00:10:27,526 --> 00:10:28,592
What do you mean?
117
00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:30,795
This belonged to him.
118
00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:34,832
To Colonel
Wayne Gibson.
119
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:37,668
Before he went away
to the war.
120
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:40,404
His father allowed no one
to touch it after he left.
121
00:10:40,406 --> 00:10:41,305
So?
122
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,641
His ghost is angry with us.
123
00:10:46,978 --> 00:10:50,047
No one is safe here.
124
00:10:59,357 --> 00:11:01,926
To the late Chris Davidson.
125
00:11:01,928 --> 00:11:04,762
Rest his soul, if any.
126
00:11:15,807 --> 00:11:17,041
Are you Sheriff Hollis?
127
00:11:17,043 --> 00:11:19,476
That's me.
Come on in.
128
00:11:19,478 --> 00:11:21,278
Make yourself comfortable.
129
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,312
Thank you.
130
00:11:22,314 --> 00:11:23,380
You, uh, care to join us?
131
00:11:23,382 --> 00:11:24,615
Uh, no, thanks.
I'm here to talk
132
00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:26,016
about Chris Davidson's
death.
133
00:11:26,018 --> 00:11:26,884
My name's James West.
134
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,889
Oh, yeah. I heard
about you being in town.
135
00:11:31,891 --> 00:11:33,090
Me and Doc Gavin here
136
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:35,626
were just talking about
poor old Chris.
137
00:11:36,963 --> 00:11:38,729
Do you know what killed him?
138
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:41,732
Well, I guess Doc can give you
the official verdict.
139
00:11:41,734 --> 00:11:43,067
He signed
the death certificate.
140
00:11:44,469 --> 00:11:48,272
Chris Davidson died of
an overdose of ignorance,
141
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:52,109
complicated by two busted
neck vertebrae
142
00:11:52,111 --> 00:11:54,111
and an occluded windpipe.
143
00:11:55,147 --> 00:11:57,248
What Doc means, Mr. West-
144
00:11:57,250 --> 00:12:00,184
It was
accidental death.
145
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:03,187
Chris must have...
tripped and fell.
146
00:12:03,189 --> 00:12:04,855
Your concern overwhelms me.
147
00:12:04,857 --> 00:12:07,391
You might say
we was expecting it,
148
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:09,693
the way Chris
was carrying on...
149
00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:11,561
chopping down
everything in sight
150
00:12:11,563 --> 00:12:12,930
with that axe of his'n.
151
00:12:12,932 --> 00:12:14,064
Darned fool.
152
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:15,465
There are a lot of
things in this town
153
00:12:15,467 --> 00:12:16,801
that need
some explaining.
154
00:12:16,803 --> 00:12:19,236
Why don't you tell him, sheriff.
155
00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:22,506
I got a sudden case
of sleeping sickness.
156
00:12:22,508 --> 00:12:24,341
I want to take me a little nap.
157
00:12:26,611 --> 00:12:28,445
Maybe it'd be better
if you and I
158
00:12:28,447 --> 00:12:31,048
took a little walk
so as not to disturb Doc.
159
00:12:31,050 --> 00:12:34,418
He's been under quite a strain
lately with all these deaths.
160
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:37,354
Yeah, I can see he's
a bundle of nerves.
161
00:12:47,966 --> 00:12:49,333
First off...
162
00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:52,336
I'd like to know
who you are, Mr. West.
163
00:12:52,338 --> 00:12:56,140
We don't get many
inquisitive strangers here.
164
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:57,641
Let's just say
I have, uh,
165
00:12:57,643 --> 00:13:00,177
an important reason
for being here...
166
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:02,246
and I'd like to know
why Gibsonville
167
00:13:02,248 --> 00:13:05,216
suddenly turned
into a ghost town.
168
00:13:05,218 --> 00:13:07,484
Well, it wasn't
all that sudden.
169
00:13:07,486 --> 00:13:09,519
Those of us who still
stick around here
170
00:13:09,521 --> 00:13:11,889
call it Gibson's
folly.
171
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:13,891
Well, why Gibson's folly?
172
00:13:13,893 --> 00:13:16,593
Mainly because it's
in the wrong place.
173
00:13:16,595 --> 00:13:21,031
Fifty miles too far north
on the wrong pass.
174
00:13:21,033 --> 00:13:24,235
When old Josiah Gibson
founded the town-
175
00:13:24,237 --> 00:13:27,204
The Josiah Gibson, uh...
Colonel Gibson's father?
176
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:28,272
That's right.
177
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:30,774
You've seen
our famous statue, then.
178
00:13:30,776 --> 00:13:32,276
I'd like another look at it.
179
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:36,513
Anyhow, when old Josiah Gibson
founded the town,
180
00:13:36,515 --> 00:13:39,783
he figured he'd cash in
on the big move west.
181
00:13:39,785 --> 00:13:42,286
But he misjudged
the course of the railroad.
182
00:13:42,288 --> 00:13:43,988
It went through
Granite Pass,
183
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:46,190
50 miles
south of here.
184
00:13:46,192 --> 00:13:50,094
And Gibsonville...became
just a backwater.
185
00:13:50,096 --> 00:13:53,230
Other towns have survived
without a railroad.
186
00:13:53,232 --> 00:13:54,899
That was just
the start.
187
00:13:54,901 --> 00:13:56,566
The war took away
a lot of young men
188
00:13:56,568 --> 00:13:57,968
that never came back.
189
00:13:57,970 --> 00:14:00,037
Josiah's mind
got a little fuzzy.
190
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,540
Then, when he heard
his only son had been killed...
191
00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:05,475
he let go completely.
192
00:14:05,477 --> 00:14:06,710
And...
193
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:08,745
this is the result.
194
00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:12,416
Well, are you saying that he's-
195
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:15,386
He was crazy to put up
a statue to his son?
196
00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:17,054
He must have been...
197
00:14:17,056 --> 00:14:18,789
because it took
every last cent
198
00:14:18,791 --> 00:14:20,257
of what was left of his fortune
199
00:14:20,259 --> 00:14:21,392
for that hunk of metal,
200
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:23,693
in the shape
of a no-good, lazy, mean-
201
00:14:23,695 --> 00:14:25,595
Stop it!
202
00:14:25,597 --> 00:14:27,898
It's easy enough for cowards
like you who stayed at home
203
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,634
to say mean and hateful
things against Wayne!
204
00:14:30,636 --> 00:14:32,169
It's a pity his statue
doesn't fall down
205
00:14:32,171 --> 00:14:34,371
and crush you
like the insect you are.
206
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:36,540
I take you knew
the colonel personally?
207
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:38,342
I knew him
better than anybody.
208
00:14:38,344 --> 00:14:41,412
He was a fine man,
and so was his father.
209
00:14:41,414 --> 00:14:43,447
You know what you said
was lies, all of it!
210
00:14:43,449 --> 00:14:46,383
Lies about Josiah,
lies about this town!
211
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:48,385
Miss Jennifer
had the idea
212
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:51,288
she might like to marry
into the Gibson family
213
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:54,358
If the hero had just
made it back home.
214
00:14:55,627 --> 00:14:56,994
And you want the truth?
215
00:14:56,996 --> 00:14:58,996
You want the real reason
this town is deserted?
216
00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:00,697
You want to know why
these few jackals
217
00:15:00,699 --> 00:15:02,266
are still
hanging around here?
218
00:15:05,404 --> 00:15:07,338
It's all right, Mr. West.
Its all right.
219
00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:10,507
Just miss Jennifer's brothers
Abel and Bert. You know them.
220
00:15:10,509 --> 00:15:12,042
Uh, we met briefly.
221
00:15:12,044 --> 00:15:13,643
They kind of like
to sit in Abel's room
222
00:15:13,645 --> 00:15:15,112
up on the second floor
of the hotel...
223
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:18,248
...and shoot at the windows
of empty buildings.
224
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:19,483
Or mostly empty.
225
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:21,485
They're
high-spirited boys.
226
00:15:21,487 --> 00:15:23,020
Yep.
227
00:15:23,022 --> 00:15:25,922
Well, I guess I better
go...quiet them down...
228
00:15:25,924 --> 00:15:27,224
before they hurt
somebody.
229
00:15:27,226 --> 00:15:28,258
Yee-hah!
230
00:15:29,728 --> 00:15:32,696
Is that true about your brothers? Yeah!
231
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:34,898
They get themselves
into a lot of trouble,
232
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:36,566
but neither of them
means any real harm.
233
00:15:37,869 --> 00:15:39,169
I'd like you
to tell me the truth
234
00:15:39,171 --> 00:15:41,571
about this town
and these people.
235
00:15:41,573 --> 00:15:44,608
A little later.
I better get back to the hotel.
236
00:15:47,412 --> 00:15:48,845
Aah!
237
00:15:53,719 --> 00:15:55,285
Abel, open up!
It's me, Bert!
238
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:57,454
All right, Bert!
What's all the fuss about?
239
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:59,289
It's Abel. I heard him
hollering from his room,
240
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:01,191
but the door's locked.
241
00:16:01,193 --> 00:16:02,559
It's me, Abel!
Open up!
242
00:16:02,561 --> 00:16:04,761
Weren't you two together
just a few minutes ago?
243
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:06,663
Yeah. We was in there doing
some target shooting.
244
00:16:06,665 --> 00:16:08,265
But I went to my room
to get some bullets,
245
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:09,900
then I heard him holler.
246
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:11,235
It sounded like
he was hurt bad.
247
00:16:11,237 --> 00:16:13,070
Probably just another
one of the fool tricks
248
00:16:13,072 --> 00:16:14,238
you two are always
pulling.
249
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:18,175
You wouldn't say that
if you could have heard him.
250
00:16:18,177 --> 00:16:19,943
All right. Come on.
251
00:16:24,015 --> 00:16:26,517
What's the problem?
252
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:28,285
Oh, he says
Abel's inside here.
253
00:16:28,287 --> 00:16:29,453
Sounds like
he's hurt...
254
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:30,754
but the door
won't open.
255
00:16:30,756 --> 00:16:32,822
Excuse me.
256
00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:45,135
Be it ever
so humble.
257
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:47,671
He's gone.
How could he?
258
00:16:54,645 --> 00:16:56,246
Not a trace.
259
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:00,917
Listen.
260
00:19:05,943 --> 00:19:08,378
Put it down gently.
261
00:19:11,349 --> 00:19:14,050
No need to be so brutal
about it, was there?
262
00:19:14,052 --> 00:19:16,587
After all,
I'm not a common thief.
263
00:19:16,589 --> 00:19:19,556
No? What's uncommon
about you?
264
00:19:25,296 --> 00:19:27,364
"Vincent Pernell,
attorney at law."
265
00:19:27,366 --> 00:19:29,733
Then you should be
familiar with the law
266
00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:31,602
regarding private property.
267
00:19:31,604 --> 00:19:33,036
Indeed, I am.
268
00:19:33,038 --> 00:19:34,304
But there are also
269
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:37,207
certain inalienable rights
of private citizens
270
00:19:37,209 --> 00:19:38,942
not spelled out in the law.
271
00:19:38,944 --> 00:19:42,412
And I was simply exercising
one of those rights.
272
00:19:42,414 --> 00:19:44,180
As one of
the original settlers-
273
00:19:44,182 --> 00:19:47,784
and few remaining in evidence
of this community
274
00:19:47,786 --> 00:19:50,454
-it was my duty
to investigate the arrival
275
00:19:50,456 --> 00:19:53,957
of an unannounced stranger...
276
00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:56,460
whose presence here
might well constitute
277
00:19:56,462 --> 00:19:59,596
an additional menace
in a situation already fraught
278
00:19:59,598 --> 00:20:03,166
with many strange
and unfathomable dangers.
279
00:20:03,168 --> 00:20:04,601
In other words,
you were curious.
280
00:20:04,603 --> 00:20:06,270
You might put it that way.
281
00:20:06,272 --> 00:20:09,873
Just who are you?
282
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:12,175
What are you doing here
in Gibsonville?
283
00:20:12,177 --> 00:20:14,478
What are you doing
in this ghost town?
284
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,747
Practicing my profession.
285
00:20:16,749 --> 00:20:19,916
Don't you find your profession
a little slow here,
286
00:20:19,918 --> 00:20:22,352
or do you specialize
in writing wills?
287
00:20:22,354 --> 00:20:24,421
Well...
288
00:20:24,423 --> 00:20:26,490
there has been
a temporary...
289
00:20:26,492 --> 00:20:27,824
lapse in business.
290
00:20:27,826 --> 00:20:31,561
But I have no doubt that
Gibsonville will revive,
291
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:33,963
like a phoenix
rising from the ashes,
292
00:20:33,965 --> 00:20:37,100
to become a booming
Western metropolis.
293
00:20:37,102 --> 00:20:38,635
You keep away from that door!
294
00:20:39,971 --> 00:20:41,538
I found him snooping
outside your door.
295
00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:43,006
I tried to
pull him away.
296
00:20:43,008 --> 00:20:45,375
And I was told there's a patient
here needing my services.
297
00:20:45,377 --> 00:20:47,411
I was just looking-
Everyone seems to be concerned
298
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:49,313
why I'm in town.
299
00:20:49,315 --> 00:20:51,848
I think it's best if we get
everything out in the open.
300
00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:53,450
You tell your brother Bert
301
00:20:53,452 --> 00:20:57,253
to get everybody in the lobby
at 4:00 this afternoon.
302
00:20:57,255 --> 00:21:01,057
That is, uh, everybody whose
neck is still in one piece.
303
00:21:08,098 --> 00:21:09,232
Mr. Gordon,
it seems to me
304
00:21:09,234 --> 00:21:11,034
that we've waited
quite long enough.
305
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:12,936
Why, Mr. President...
306
00:21:14,172 --> 00:21:15,605
...I seem to recall General Lee
307
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:17,207
paying a tribute
to your patience,
308
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:20,444
when you took Petersburg
after a 10-month-long siege.
309
00:21:20,446 --> 00:21:22,779
It was that event
which exhausted my supply.
310
00:21:22,781 --> 00:21:24,147
I've had no patience
since then.
311
00:21:27,285 --> 00:21:28,385
Excuse me, sir.
312
00:21:36,627 --> 00:21:38,895
Here we are,
Annabella.
313
00:21:38,897 --> 00:21:41,264
There's a good girl.
314
00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:44,835
Ah, yes.
There we go.
315
00:21:46,136 --> 00:21:49,038
And we've delivered
what we should.
316
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,306
Nice girl.
317
00:21:50,308 --> 00:21:51,675
Well, I hope
it's from West.
318
00:21:51,677 --> 00:21:52,909
Yes, sir.
We'll know in a moment
319
00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:54,544
whether it's safe
for you to proceed.
320
00:22:02,019 --> 00:22:03,720
The paper's blank.
321
00:22:03,722 --> 00:22:05,355
Uh, it's invisible
ink, sir,
322
00:22:05,357 --> 00:22:07,190
in case the message falls
into the wrong hands.
323
00:22:07,192 --> 00:22:08,725
You never know with pigeons.
324
00:22:08,727 --> 00:22:10,093
Well, then make it visible.
325
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:10,960
Yes, sir.
326
00:22:22,607 --> 00:22:25,475
I'm sorry, sir. We seem to be
out of a secret ingredient.
327
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:26,476
Now?
328
00:22:26,478 --> 00:22:27,844
Uh, you wouldn't
have a sp-
329
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:29,846
Uh, something
medicinal
330
00:22:29,848 --> 00:22:31,782
about you,
would you, sir?
331
00:22:31,784 --> 00:22:32,982
For the message.
332
00:22:34,018 --> 00:22:35,819
Oh...yes.
333
00:22:35,821 --> 00:22:38,422
Yeah.
334
00:22:38,424 --> 00:22:39,689
Thank you, sir.
335
00:22:52,403 --> 00:22:54,037
Thank you, sir.
336
00:23:01,813 --> 00:23:02,813
There we are.
337
00:23:02,815 --> 00:23:03,980
Uh-huh. Let me see it.
338
00:23:05,784 --> 00:23:08,284
"Three blind mice-
339
00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:11,822
"Three blind mice went
skating over the pond
340
00:23:11,824 --> 00:23:13,957
and fell through
a hole in the ice."
341
00:23:13,959 --> 00:23:16,359
Well, there's
your answer, sir.
342
00:23:16,361 --> 00:23:17,794
My answer?!
343
00:23:17,796 --> 00:23:20,263
Mr. Gordon, I'm afraid
that you and Mr. West
344
00:23:20,265 --> 00:23:22,899
are long overdue
for a long vacation.
345
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:24,501
Oh, no, sir,
that's in code,
346
00:23:24,503 --> 00:23:25,769
you see, in case
it fell into-
347
00:23:25,771 --> 00:23:28,672
I know. "One never knows
with pigeons."
348
00:23:28,674 --> 00:23:31,475
Exactly, sir. All it says
is you can't go to Gibsonville.
349
00:23:31,477 --> 00:23:32,876
What?
350
00:23:32,878 --> 00:23:34,678
Well, the reference
to "three blind mice"
351
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,513
means that things
aren't very clear.
352
00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:38,515
It's difficult to see
just what's going on.
353
00:23:38,517 --> 00:23:39,783
The thin ice reference
354
00:23:39,785 --> 00:23:41,451
means that there's
a great deal of danger
355
00:23:41,453 --> 00:23:42,886
just under the surface
of things.
356
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:46,456
And to think I wasted good
bourbon to read that rubbish.
357
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,959
Well, I'll admit it isn't
literature, Mr. President,
358
00:23:48,961 --> 00:23:50,994
but I can vouch
for Jim's accuracy.
359
00:23:50,996 --> 00:23:52,729
I'd advise you not to go.
360
00:23:52,731 --> 00:23:53,930
On the other hand,
361
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:56,500
I have a debt of honor
to the Gibson family.
362
00:23:56,502 --> 00:23:58,334
It was Josiah Gibson's
last wish
363
00:23:58,336 --> 00:24:00,504
that I dedicate
the statue of his son.
364
00:24:00,506 --> 00:24:01,671
Well, you've turned down
365
00:24:01,673 --> 00:24:03,773
personal requests before,
Mr. President
366
00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:05,675
Not of this nature.
367
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:07,410
Do you know what happened
to Colonel Gibson?
368
00:24:07,412 --> 00:24:08,411
No, sir.
369
00:24:08,413 --> 00:24:09,679
He was in my command,
370
00:24:09,681 --> 00:24:11,214
during the last days of the war.
371
00:24:11,216 --> 00:24:13,416
Lee decided to start
an offensive
372
00:24:13,418 --> 00:24:14,851
against Fort Stedman.
373
00:24:14,853 --> 00:24:16,119
A daring plan.
374
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:18,221
One that would have hurt us
badly had it succeeded.
375
00:24:18,223 --> 00:24:20,924
Yeah, I remember
the strategy, sir.
376
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:23,527
Colonel Gibson was
a rather unusual officer.
377
00:24:23,529 --> 00:24:26,763
Difficult in many ways,
a strange young man.
378
00:24:26,765 --> 00:24:27,964
It was his company
379
00:24:27,966 --> 00:24:30,199
that had to stand
the brunt of this attack.
380
00:24:30,201 --> 00:24:32,035
They managed
to turn the enemy...
381
00:24:32,037 --> 00:24:33,770
but not before
he and his command
382
00:24:33,772 --> 00:24:35,271
were completely wiped out.
383
00:24:35,273 --> 00:24:38,241
Mr. Gordon, I sent him
into that battle.
384
00:24:38,243 --> 00:24:43,112
I shall go to Gibsonville
to dedicate the statue.
385
00:24:43,114 --> 00:24:44,080
Yes, sir.
386
00:24:45,550 --> 00:24:46,950
Oh, be careful,
Mr. President.
387
00:24:46,952 --> 00:24:48,752
The glue hasn't
completely dried on it.
388
00:24:48,754 --> 00:24:51,120
Hm, what is it? Uh,
some sort of a model?
389
00:24:51,122 --> 00:24:54,024
An idea of mine, yes, sir.
I call it a "land crawler."
390
00:24:54,026 --> 00:24:55,892
It consists of
an armored carriage
391
00:24:55,894 --> 00:24:58,394
with a small steam engine
inside to propel it.
392
00:24:58,396 --> 00:25:00,396
There are two gun mounts,
one in front.
393
00:25:00,398 --> 00:25:02,032
That on top
is a gun turret.
394
00:25:02,034 --> 00:25:04,034
I think with enough of those...
395
00:25:04,036 --> 00:25:06,903
we can eventually eliminate
the need for cavalry completely.
396
00:25:06,905 --> 00:25:08,004
You know, Mr. Gordon...
397
00:25:09,339 --> 00:25:10,774
it's men like you
398
00:25:10,776 --> 00:25:12,943
who'll eventually take
all the fun out of war.
399
00:25:20,985 --> 00:25:22,786
Morning, citizens.
400
00:25:22,788 --> 00:25:24,253
Good morning,
Mr. West.
401
00:25:24,255 --> 00:25:26,422
Stick 'em up! Stick 'em up!
402
00:25:27,825 --> 00:25:30,526
Your bird seems to have
a limited vocabulary.
403
00:25:31,929 --> 00:25:34,631
The parrot belonged
to the late Colonel Gibson.
404
00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:37,266
He taught it
everything he knows.
405
00:25:37,268 --> 00:25:38,501
Fine. I see.
406
00:25:38,503 --> 00:25:40,336
You're all here
because you're wondering
407
00:25:40,338 --> 00:25:42,238
why I'm staying on
in Gibsonville.
408
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,707
And I'd be delighted
to tell you
409
00:25:43,709 --> 00:25:46,576
after you tell me why you've
stayed on in a ghost town...
410
00:25:46,578 --> 00:25:48,845
when at any moment,
it could mean sudden death.
411
00:25:50,848 --> 00:25:52,482
Uh, would you mind
starting, doctor?
412
00:25:57,287 --> 00:25:59,555
Uh...ah, health.
413
00:25:59,557 --> 00:26:02,726
I stay here for
my health, young man.
414
00:26:02,728 --> 00:26:05,662
I find the spring water here
beneficial for my gout,
415
00:26:05,664 --> 00:26:08,531
from which I suffer
recurring attacks.
416
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,466
I remain here
to drink the water.
417
00:26:10,468 --> 00:26:13,302
Uh-huh. Mr. Pernell?
418
00:26:13,304 --> 00:26:17,340
Research is my actual reason
for staying in Gibsonville.
419
00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:19,643
I'm in the process
of preparing
420
00:26:19,645 --> 00:26:22,846
an extremely complicated
legal brief,
421
00:26:22,848 --> 00:26:26,482
having to do with certain
land-grant matters.
422
00:26:26,484 --> 00:26:31,287
Though the recorder's office
has, um, ceased to function,
423
00:26:31,289 --> 00:26:34,290
I have found
in the dusty archives
424
00:26:34,292 --> 00:26:35,558
certain legal records which have
425
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,695
a definite bearing
on this case.
426
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:41,765
And these, I have no doubt,
will eventually alter
427
00:26:41,767 --> 00:26:45,735
geographical boundaries
throughout the entire Southwest.
428
00:26:47,437 --> 00:26:48,672
How about you, Bert?
429
00:26:48,674 --> 00:26:51,875
I stick around here to help
my sister Jenny
430
00:26:51,877 --> 00:26:53,442
run this hotel, that's all.
431
00:26:53,444 --> 00:26:54,310
Ain't that enough?
432
00:26:57,581 --> 00:26:58,715
And you, sheriff?
433
00:26:58,717 --> 00:27:01,184
I am a lawman, Mr. West.
434
00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:05,689
I was chosen for my job by the
good citizens of Gibsonville,
435
00:27:05,691 --> 00:27:07,490
and I feel
it's my bound and duty
436
00:27:07,492 --> 00:27:09,325
to serve out
my regular term,
437
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:11,161
no matter if
all but a few
438
00:27:11,163 --> 00:27:13,229
of those good citizens see fit
439
00:27:13,231 --> 00:27:15,531
to...move on
to greener pastures.
440
00:27:15,533 --> 00:27:19,069
Keeping the peace
is a sacred trust.
441
00:27:19,071 --> 00:27:20,436
As I see it-
442
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:22,538
Oh, shut up!
You liars!
443
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:23,907
Hypocrites!
444
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:27,376
You haven't had a drink
of water in five years!
445
00:27:27,378 --> 00:27:29,946
Research? You know not
a scrap of paper was saved
446
00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:31,581
when the recorder's
office burned.
447
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,083
And as for you, sheriff,
448
00:27:33,085 --> 00:27:36,186
when have you ever arrested
anybody but a helpless drunk?
449
00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:38,487
No, none of you
fool me.
450
00:27:38,489 --> 00:27:40,857
You all stay here
for the same noble reason
451
00:27:40,859 --> 00:27:43,492
a vulture hangs
over a dying steer.
452
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,528
That's very interesting,
Miss Jennifer,
453
00:27:45,530 --> 00:27:47,964
as far as it goes,
but then...
454
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:48,965
why are you here?
455
00:27:48,967 --> 00:27:52,769
Because this is
my town.
456
00:27:54,105 --> 00:27:55,404
The Gibsons may be dead,
457
00:27:55,406 --> 00:27:58,942
but I'd have been a Gibson
if Wayne had come back.
458
00:27:58,944 --> 00:28:01,845
We were secretly engaged
to be married.
459
00:28:01,847 --> 00:28:04,347
Whatever is here
would have been mine.
460
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:07,083
And so long as I live,
I'll never leave it!
461
00:28:07,085 --> 00:28:08,985
But if there's
nothing here-
462
00:28:08,987 --> 00:28:10,686
Oh, but there is.
463
00:28:11,989 --> 00:28:13,623
That's why this...
464
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:15,024
fine group
of jackals
465
00:28:15,026 --> 00:28:16,626
are skulking about.
466
00:28:16,628 --> 00:28:19,996
Josiah Gibson
was enormously wealthy.
467
00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:21,364
But during the war,
he was afraid
468
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:24,467
that a big inflation might make
the currency worthless.
469
00:28:24,469 --> 00:28:28,772
He converted his entire
capital into gold bullion.
470
00:28:29,941 --> 00:28:32,942
It must have been
a huge amount.
471
00:28:32,944 --> 00:28:36,646
But no sign of that fortune
has ever been found.
472
00:28:36,648 --> 00:28:38,948
I see. That's why
the town is torn up.
473
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:41,651
Why men are chopping away
at wooden Indians.
474
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:45,421
Like Davidson said,
you're all digging for gold.
475
00:28:45,423 --> 00:28:47,323
But none of you has
a legal right to it.
476
00:28:47,325 --> 00:28:49,159
The moral right is mine.
477
00:28:49,161 --> 00:28:52,862
I am a Gibson
in everything but name.
478
00:28:52,864 --> 00:28:55,064
Dead man's gold belongs
to the finder, I say,
479
00:28:55,066 --> 00:28:56,166
and I'm the law!
480
00:28:56,168 --> 00:28:59,468
I took care of
old Josiah many a year...
481
00:28:59,470 --> 00:29:01,104
right up
to his deathbed.
482
00:29:01,106 --> 00:29:04,107
Manys a time,
he told me-
483
00:29:04,109 --> 00:29:05,875
that's after
his son was killed
484
00:29:05,877 --> 00:29:08,678
-that he wanted me
to have his money.
485
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,446
You're awfully quiet,
counselor.
486
00:29:10,448 --> 00:29:13,783
Those who have
a genuine legal position
487
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:16,886
have no need to quarrel
with the common herd...
488
00:29:16,888 --> 00:29:19,388
whose claims
are spurious.
489
00:29:19,390 --> 00:29:21,724
Uh- Uh, try that again
in English.
490
00:29:21,726 --> 00:29:26,595
Gladly.
Before Josiah Gibson died...
491
00:29:26,597 --> 00:29:30,533
he and I entered an agreement
of full partnership.
492
00:29:30,535 --> 00:29:32,368
Therefore,
at his demise...
493
00:29:32,370 --> 00:29:36,039
what was his
became legally mine.
494
00:29:36,041 --> 00:29:37,240
Prove it!
495
00:29:37,242 --> 00:29:38,875
Of course.
496
00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:41,744
I have my briefcase
right out in the foyer.
497
00:29:44,048 --> 00:29:48,151
You still haven't told us what
you're doing here, Mr. West.
498
00:30:02,432 --> 00:30:05,368
He's dead.
499
00:30:12,743 --> 00:30:15,078
It's him! It's him!
500
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:37,667
Hullo!
501
00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:40,937
I say, is all
of America like this?
502
00:30:40,939 --> 00:30:43,707
I've been out there on that
street for over an hour...
503
00:30:43,709 --> 00:30:47,377
and there hasn't been a single
soul on that street at all.
504
00:30:47,379 --> 00:30:49,078
Possibly because we've had
505
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,414
another mysterious
murder in here.
506
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:53,182
Oh.
507
00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:54,417
Oh, I say.
508
00:30:56,621 --> 00:30:58,321
Oh, bad show.
509
00:30:58,323 --> 00:31:01,858
Just who or what
are you, mister?
510
00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:04,694
Uh, Iangelico
Cooper-Fennistone here.
511
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:06,896
And whom may I have
the pleasure of addressing?
512
00:31:06,898 --> 00:31:09,633
Hollis.
Sheriff Tom Hollis.
513
00:31:09,635 --> 00:31:12,101
Hullo. Charmed, I'm sure.
514
00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:15,639
I say. Are you a real sher-?
515
00:31:15,641 --> 00:31:17,006
Oh, yes,
of course.
516
00:31:17,008 --> 00:31:18,241
There's your badge.
517
00:31:18,243 --> 00:31:20,277
Oh, how marvelous.
518
00:31:21,613 --> 00:31:23,747
I say, I don't have
my camera with me now,
519
00:31:23,749 --> 00:31:25,982
but...would you mind if
I took your picture later?
520
00:31:27,851 --> 00:31:29,786
Uh, what brings you
here, Mr., uh...
521
00:31:29,788 --> 00:31:31,521
Uh, Cooper-Fennistone.
522
00:31:31,523 --> 00:31:33,523
Sir Iangelico
Cooper-Fennistone.
523
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:35,425
You may call me sir.
524
00:31:35,427 --> 00:31:36,859
Uh, big game brings me,
of course.
525
00:31:36,861 --> 00:31:38,328
Very big game.
526
00:31:39,331 --> 00:31:40,430
And-
527
00:31:42,065 --> 00:31:43,232
And, uh...of course,
528
00:31:43,234 --> 00:31:47,737
studying your...quaint
local customs here.
529
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:50,940
I'm sure we can show you many
of our quaint local customs...
530
00:31:50,942 --> 00:31:53,142
but right now,
we've got a job to do.
531
00:31:53,144 --> 00:31:54,243
Ah, yes, of course.
532
00:31:54,245 --> 00:31:55,712
Uh, are you going to
arrest anyone
533
00:31:55,714 --> 00:31:57,514
for the murder
of this poor chap, sheriff?
534
00:31:57,516 --> 00:32:00,183
Well...guess not.
535
00:32:00,185 --> 00:32:02,285
We all got each other
for an alibi.
536
00:32:02,287 --> 00:32:03,653
Ah.
537
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:06,022
There was nobody near him
when it happened.
538
00:32:06,024 --> 00:32:07,757
Sheriff, you and the doc
remove the body.
539
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,392
I want to examine it
thoroughly later.
540
00:32:11,529 --> 00:32:13,996
Might as well take him
down to my office.
541
00:32:13,998 --> 00:32:16,098
I'll write out
the death certificate.
542
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:17,300
I got a stack
of 'em.
543
00:32:18,369 --> 00:32:19,502
I'll talk to you later,
544
00:32:19,504 --> 00:32:21,538
as soon as I get
John Bull settled here.
545
00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:23,707
Do you, uh- Do you want
a room here?
546
00:32:23,709 --> 00:32:26,909
A room?
Oh, good heavens. No, no.
547
00:32:26,911 --> 00:32:28,277
I've been...
548
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,680
camping
just outside of town.
549
00:32:30,682 --> 00:32:33,717
No. I would appreciate
some...tips, so to speak,
550
00:32:33,719 --> 00:32:36,353
on how to handle
the local wildlife.
551
00:32:36,355 --> 00:32:37,520
Oh, I can provide that.
552
00:32:37,522 --> 00:32:39,021
Splendid. Uh-
553
00:32:40,424 --> 00:32:41,424
I say...
554
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:42,625
uh, would you know
555
00:32:42,627 --> 00:32:45,528
where I might find
some buffalo around here?
556
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:46,730
Uh-uh.
557
00:32:46,732 --> 00:32:49,799
Oh. Odd.
558
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,067
You look the type
who might.
559
00:32:53,437 --> 00:32:55,104
Well...
560
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:56,840
now for
those pointers.
561
00:32:58,509 --> 00:32:59,609
Excuse me.
562
00:32:59,611 --> 00:33:01,010
Oh, of course.
563
00:33:01,012 --> 00:33:02,645
Let's talk
outside.
564
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:05,147
Fraud! Fraud!
565
00:33:07,051 --> 00:33:10,019
Fraud.
566
00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:11,821
Vulgar feathered American.
567
00:33:21,565 --> 00:33:22,565
My message was specific.
568
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:24,768
This town is too dangerous.
569
00:33:24,770 --> 00:33:26,603
I'm sure you're right,
but I couldn't very well
570
00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:28,237
order the president
to stay away.
571
00:33:28,239 --> 00:33:31,040
He outranks me
slightly.
572
00:33:31,042 --> 00:33:32,442
He's coming here when?
573
00:33:32,444 --> 00:33:33,810
Tomorrow.
574
00:33:33,812 --> 00:33:35,779
Best I could talk him into
was giving us 24 hours
575
00:33:35,781 --> 00:33:38,615
to make Gibsonville
a sweet and pleasant place.
576
00:33:38,617 --> 00:33:41,918
Fat chance. It's a ghost town,
and it's getting ghostlier.
577
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,019
Uh...
578
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:45,154
that, I take it,
is the hunk of bronze
579
00:33:45,156 --> 00:33:47,256
for which the president
is willing to risk his life?
580
00:33:47,258 --> 00:33:49,726
Uh-huh. That's
the late Colonel Gibson.
581
00:33:49,728 --> 00:33:51,761
Rumor has it
that it's his ghost
582
00:33:51,763 --> 00:33:53,730
that's seeking vengeance
on this town.
583
00:33:53,732 --> 00:33:56,198
A ghost who breaks
necks?
584
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,167
Oh, come on,
Jim.
585
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:02,505
I wish I had a better answer.
One thing is for sure.
586
00:34:02,507 --> 00:34:04,441
The secret lies somewhere
in that old hotel
587
00:34:04,443 --> 00:34:06,976
built by Josiah Gibson.
588
00:34:06,978 --> 00:34:09,378
I wish I knew where
the music came from.
589
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:10,447
Music? What m-
590
00:34:10,449 --> 00:34:12,415
Oh, you mean
that organ that I heard
591
00:34:12,417 --> 00:34:13,817
when I first
came in?
592
00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:17,019
Yeah. And...whenever
there's a broken neck,
593
00:34:17,021 --> 00:34:18,054
there's always-
594
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,056
There's always music.
595
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:21,825
Hm.
596
00:34:21,827 --> 00:34:24,327
You know, I once played
the organ on a showboat.
597
00:34:24,329 --> 00:34:26,195
You know what
made me give it up?
598
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:27,730
No, what?
599
00:34:27,732 --> 00:34:30,066
People kept offering
to break my neck.
600
00:34:38,677 --> 00:34:41,678
It's him. It's him.
601
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:42,779
It's him.
602
00:35:02,466 --> 00:35:04,100
Why, Artie?
Impulse.
603
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:05,602
Stick 'em up. Stick 'em up.
604
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:07,737
I got to thinking about
something you told me yesterday
605
00:35:07,739 --> 00:35:09,372
about this bird belonging
to the Gibsons.
606
00:35:09,374 --> 00:35:10,373
Do you remember?
Hm.
607
00:35:10,375 --> 00:35:11,440
And it occurred to me
608
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,109
that it might be able
to tell us something,
609
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:14,777
like, uh...where
the old boy hid his gold,
610
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:15,778
or who the killer is.
611
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:16,913
Something.
612
00:35:16,915 --> 00:35:18,648
You think you can make
this bird talk?
613
00:35:18,650 --> 00:35:20,884
Parrots do that, Jim.
614
00:35:20,886 --> 00:35:22,552
You can laugh
if you want to.
615
00:35:22,554 --> 00:35:24,554
Uh, I think it might tell us
something that's a clue.
616
00:35:24,556 --> 00:35:25,822
It's worth a try.
617
00:35:25,824 --> 00:35:26,990
It's my impression
618
00:35:26,992 --> 00:35:28,591
it's not a very
friendly bird, Artie.
619
00:35:28,593 --> 00:35:31,127
Maybe he just hasn't
been approached
620
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:33,195
in the proper spirit,
that's all.
621
00:35:33,197 --> 00:35:34,330
Maybe.
622
00:35:35,333 --> 00:35:36,432
Cute little birdie,
623
00:35:36,434 --> 00:35:38,167
you'll talk for Artie,
won't you, huh?
624
00:35:38,169 --> 00:35:40,202
Yes, you will now.
625
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:41,638
Ooh, did-
626
00:35:43,041 --> 00:35:44,040
Hold it!
627
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:45,508
Fraud! Fraud!
628
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:47,544
That bird just doesn't
trust anybody, does he?
629
00:35:50,113 --> 00:35:52,715
Artie, let's, uh, proceed
with our original plan
630
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:53,783
and search the place.
631
00:35:53,785 --> 00:35:56,218
Might as well.
He's no help.
632
00:35:57,655 --> 00:35:59,121
Loudmouth.
633
00:36:06,464 --> 00:36:07,997
It's Bert's room.
634
00:36:07,999 --> 00:36:09,632
I checked him earlier
before you got here.
635
00:36:09,634 --> 00:36:11,167
He's still
sound asleep.
636
00:36:14,171 --> 00:36:15,805
This was Abel's room.
637
00:36:21,745 --> 00:36:23,245
Well...
638
00:36:23,247 --> 00:36:26,215
Not overly neat,
was he?
639
00:36:26,217 --> 00:36:28,451
All the buildings are
like this on the inside.
640
00:36:28,453 --> 00:36:30,186
Everything's
been searched.
641
00:36:35,393 --> 00:36:37,359
It all seems solid,
Jim.
642
00:36:37,361 --> 00:36:39,028
It can't be, Artie.
643
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:41,230
Abel couldn't have
gotten out of his room.
644
00:37:24,441 --> 00:37:25,541
Hm.
645
00:37:27,577 --> 00:37:29,646
Woman's
wedding dress.
646
00:37:29,648 --> 00:37:30,747
She never got to
wear it.
647
00:37:39,322 --> 00:37:40,857
Artie, meet Abel.
648
00:37:42,826 --> 00:37:44,260
Oh!
649
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:45,361
That must be Bert.
650
00:37:51,301 --> 00:37:53,936
To the late Bert Caine.
651
00:37:53,938 --> 00:37:56,739
Devil will have
his hands full today.
652
00:38:00,544 --> 00:38:02,611
Ah.
Aah!
653
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:04,881
Now we're getting down
to the hard core of things,
654
00:38:04,883 --> 00:38:08,250
with both of Jenny's brothers
out of the way.
655
00:38:13,223 --> 00:38:16,092
Here comes
Lord Gut Rocks.
656
00:38:16,094 --> 00:38:17,626
What do you suppose
he's wanting?
657
00:38:17,628 --> 00:38:19,929
Who cares? We'll have
a little fun with him.
658
00:38:20,999 --> 00:38:22,198
Come in.
659
00:38:23,734 --> 00:38:24,901
Hullo.
660
00:38:24,903 --> 00:38:26,535
I hope I'm not
intruding.
661
00:38:26,537 --> 00:38:28,404
Nope. Come on in.
662
00:38:28,406 --> 00:38:30,673
Save me the trouble
of coming after you.
663
00:38:30,675 --> 00:38:33,576
Oh, thank you so very much.
664
00:38:33,578 --> 00:38:36,245
Uh, you see, I just heard
about the...
665
00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:37,313
ghastly murders
666
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:38,547
that occurred
last night,
667
00:38:38,549 --> 00:38:40,883
and I sort of thought
I'd pop over
668
00:38:40,885 --> 00:38:44,486
and get an official view
on matters, so to speak.
669
00:38:44,488 --> 00:38:46,555
Where were you
last night, mister?
670
00:38:46,557 --> 00:38:47,824
Watch yourself,
limey.
671
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:49,158
Been so many victims
this year,
672
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,860
it's run out
of suspects.
673
00:38:50,862 --> 00:38:52,729
I mean it!
Where were you?
674
00:38:52,731 --> 00:38:55,598
Why, i-in my bivouac,
of course...
675
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,000
reading Homer's narration
of the fall of Troy.
676
00:38:59,369 --> 00:39:01,270
Chapman translation.
677
00:39:01,272 --> 00:39:03,639
Any witnesses to that fact?
678
00:39:03,641 --> 00:39:04,807
Uh, oh...
679
00:39:04,809 --> 00:39:06,843
No other persons present, no.
680
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:08,811
The only caller I had
was a rather...
681
00:39:08,813 --> 00:39:10,079
large serpent,
682
00:39:10,081 --> 00:39:11,781
which I slew, uh-
683
00:39:11,783 --> 00:39:14,683
Rattlers...I believe
they're called here.
684
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:16,953
Uh, here.
685
00:39:19,823 --> 00:39:22,091
Must have been a big'un.
How'd you kill it?
686
00:39:22,093 --> 00:39:24,127
Oh. Shot it
between the eyes, of course.
687
00:39:26,563 --> 00:39:29,265
Uh, would you join us
in a shot of...
688
00:39:29,267 --> 00:39:30,633
pop skull, limey?
689
00:39:30,635 --> 00:39:32,869
Oh. No, thank you very much.
690
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:34,270
You're most kind,
but...
691
00:39:34,272 --> 00:39:35,571
I'm afraid my palate
692
00:39:35,573 --> 00:39:38,841
hasn't quite been
that Americanized as yet.
693
00:39:38,843 --> 00:39:41,477
Oh, why don't you try
some of my brand, won't you?
694
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:43,880
There you go.
695
00:39:43,882 --> 00:39:45,281
Little spot for you.
696
00:39:45,283 --> 00:39:48,251
It doesn't take much
of this, you know.
697
00:39:48,253 --> 00:39:49,685
And a spot
for you there.
698
00:39:49,687 --> 00:39:51,320
Well...cheers.
699
00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:55,925
Ah!
700
00:39:55,927 --> 00:39:57,459
Aah.
He-he-he.
701
00:39:57,461 --> 00:39:59,796
Ahh. Oop.
702
00:39:59,798 --> 00:40:01,130
Ahh.
703
00:40:01,132 --> 00:40:02,631
Ha, that's the real thing.
704
00:40:02,633 --> 00:40:06,368
Oh, yes, I think
you'll be rather...
705
00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:09,806
stunned by the results.
706
00:40:11,442 --> 00:40:13,609
Now all jesting
aside, sheriff...
707
00:40:13,611 --> 00:40:15,644
I have a theory
about these murders,
708
00:40:15,646 --> 00:40:18,447
which I think you might find
rather interesting.
709
00:40:18,449 --> 00:40:19,448
Let's hear it.
710
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:21,650
Well...it
seems to me,
711
00:40:21,652 --> 00:40:23,719
considering the unusual nature
712
00:40:23,721 --> 00:40:26,422
in which the bodies
have all been transported,
713
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:27,723
that, uh...
714
00:40:27,725 --> 00:40:31,060
there must be two very
strong men working together.
715
00:40:31,062 --> 00:40:33,395
This would account
for the fact that, uh...
716
00:40:33,397 --> 00:40:36,899
the victim has always been
so easily overpowered...
717
00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:39,869
and their necks broken
without any sign of struggle.
718
00:40:39,871 --> 00:40:43,339
Makes sense.
Two men?
719
00:40:43,341 --> 00:40:45,308
Of course it does.
720
00:40:45,310 --> 00:40:49,678
Say like, you
and that West fella.
721
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,980
Oh, no, no, no, no.
722
00:40:50,982 --> 00:40:55,051
I was rather thinking
that you and Dr. Gavin here...
723
00:40:55,053 --> 00:40:57,519
eh, might be the source
of the danger.
724
00:40:59,156 --> 00:41:01,157
And so for that
reason, gentlemen,
725
00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:04,360
I'm afraid that you're
going to have to miss...
726
00:41:04,362 --> 00:41:08,030
the visit of
our esteemed president.
727
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:13,502
Pleasant dreams.
728
00:41:17,074 --> 00:41:19,842
I couldn't have made
a mistake on the dose.
729
00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:46,362
Colonel Gibson.
730
00:43:08,551 --> 00:43:11,487
Just as I thought.
You thought?
731
00:43:11,489 --> 00:43:14,023
You didn't die leading your men
nobly into battle.
732
00:43:14,025 --> 00:43:15,591
But I did.
733
00:43:15,593 --> 00:43:19,295
My poor body was mangled
almost beyond recognition.
734
00:43:19,297 --> 00:43:22,231
You were identified by your
papers and your insignia of rank
735
00:43:22,233 --> 00:43:24,500
that you placed on the body
of some poor dead soldier
736
00:43:24,502 --> 00:43:26,802
before you run and hid
like the coward that you are.
737
00:43:26,804 --> 00:43:28,337
History says you lie.
738
00:43:28,339 --> 00:43:30,306
History's written by men.
739
00:43:30,308 --> 00:43:31,740
And men make mistakes.
740
00:43:31,742 --> 00:43:34,643
History loves dead heroes.
741
00:43:34,645 --> 00:43:35,844
I am one of them.
742
00:43:35,846 --> 00:43:37,813
You're a common murderer.
743
00:43:37,815 --> 00:43:39,648
The only thing I want
to know is how you did it.
744
00:43:41,151 --> 00:43:43,652
You will very soon
find out!
745
00:43:49,092 --> 00:43:49,958
Ooh!
746
00:44:00,870 --> 00:44:01,870
Now open the door.
747
00:44:13,550 --> 00:44:14,417
I said, open it!
748
00:44:16,753 --> 00:44:17,686
Open it!
749
00:44:21,426 --> 00:44:22,858
I heard
all the noise.
750
00:44:24,161 --> 00:44:25,894
W- Wayne!
751
00:44:25,896 --> 00:44:28,030
Give me the gun, or
I'll break her neck.
752
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:31,467
Hand it over.
753
00:44:35,105 --> 00:44:36,105
Ah!
754
00:44:38,543 --> 00:44:40,909
One last thing before
I kill you, West.
755
00:44:40,911 --> 00:44:42,144
Why were you
sent here?
756
00:44:43,413 --> 00:44:44,980
Was it about
my father's money?
757
00:44:46,015 --> 00:44:47,950
Money? No.
758
00:44:47,952 --> 00:44:52,054
No, I was sent here
by your ex-commanding officer...
759
00:44:52,056 --> 00:44:53,289
General Grant.
760
00:44:53,291 --> 00:44:55,023
He wanted me to correct
761
00:44:55,025 --> 00:44:56,492
the inscription
on your monument.
762
00:44:57,694 --> 00:44:59,728
Inscription?
763
00:44:59,730 --> 00:45:01,464
What's wrong with my
inscription?
764
00:45:01,466 --> 00:45:02,831
I'm a hero.
765
00:45:02,833 --> 00:45:04,500
Oh, if you believe that,
then you can't read.
766
00:45:05,902 --> 00:45:07,002
You're lying.
767
00:45:10,873 --> 00:45:11,740
Show me.
768
00:45:24,121 --> 00:45:25,721
I know you're lying.
769
00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:27,723
You're like
all the others.
770
00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:28,991
Trying to find
my father's gold.
771
00:45:28,993 --> 00:45:31,427
But it's mine.
772
00:45:31,429 --> 00:45:33,562
I'm his only heir,
and I'll find it.
773
00:45:33,564 --> 00:45:35,164
You hear me?
I'll find it!
774
00:45:35,166 --> 00:45:36,432
It's him.
775
00:45:36,434 --> 00:45:38,033
And I'll escape this tomb
of lonely rooms
776
00:45:38,035 --> 00:45:39,201
and secret passages
forever.
777
00:45:45,442 --> 00:45:47,709
Gibsonville.
Isn't it lovely
778
00:45:47,711 --> 00:45:50,946
without all those idiot people
cluttering the streets...
779
00:45:50,948 --> 00:45:52,748
hampering my search?
780
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:54,650
But I got rid of them...
drove them out,
781
00:45:54,652 --> 00:45:56,084
one way
or another.
782
00:45:56,086 --> 00:45:58,254
Those you couldn't
drive out, you killed.
783
00:45:59,856 --> 00:46:01,423
Maybe there
isn't any gold.
784
00:46:01,425 --> 00:46:03,058
Maybe it's just
an illusion.
785
00:46:03,060 --> 00:46:04,460
No.
786
00:46:04,462 --> 00:46:05,861
It's here
in this town.
787
00:46:05,863 --> 00:46:07,129
And with everyone
out of the way,
788
00:46:07,131 --> 00:46:08,864
I'll level this place
to the ground if I must,
789
00:46:08,866 --> 00:46:09,965
but I'll find it.
790
00:46:09,967 --> 00:46:11,066
Now turn around.
791
00:46:13,836 --> 00:46:18,207
"Who died gallantly in battle
792
00:46:18,209 --> 00:46:20,476
"with his entire company
793
00:46:20,478 --> 00:46:23,412
in the defense
of Fort Stedman."
794
00:46:26,316 --> 00:46:27,583
You lied, West.
795
00:46:27,585 --> 00:46:30,352
It says I'm
a dead hero.
796
00:46:32,389 --> 00:46:34,657
Now you can
join me.
797
00:46:34,659 --> 00:46:36,258
Colonel Gibson...
798
00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:38,060
I command you
to put that gun down.
799
00:46:40,129 --> 00:46:41,163
General, I-
800
00:46:41,165 --> 00:46:42,531
Put it down, I said!
801
00:46:44,934 --> 00:46:47,035
I never thought
I'd live to see the day
802
00:46:47,037 --> 00:46:49,438
when an officer of mine
behaved in this manner
803
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,506
in front of a young woman.
804
00:46:52,442 --> 00:46:53,509
Need I
remind you, sir,
805
00:46:53,511 --> 00:46:54,510
that you are
a gentleman?
806
00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:58,046
The son of
my dear friend Josiah?
807
00:46:58,048 --> 00:46:59,682
I'm glad you could
make it, general.
808
00:46:59,684 --> 00:47:01,650
My pleasure, Mr. West.
809
00:47:19,402 --> 00:47:21,337
Give me
that gun, colonel.
810
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:25,341
I can't, sir.
I have to-
811
00:47:25,343 --> 00:47:27,276
Colonel!
812
00:47:27,278 --> 00:47:28,844
I command you
813
00:47:28,846 --> 00:47:30,812
in the name of everything
we both hold dear.
814
00:47:33,416 --> 00:47:34,617
In the name of
the days
815
00:47:34,619 --> 00:47:38,587
we fought side by side
together.
816
00:47:38,589 --> 00:47:41,590
At Cold Harbor...
817
00:47:41,592 --> 00:47:43,659
Vicksburg...
818
00:47:43,661 --> 00:47:44,893
Richmond.
819
00:47:46,195 --> 00:47:48,264
There's some
mistake, general.
820
00:47:48,266 --> 00:47:50,633
I was dead
before Richmond.
821
00:47:59,510 --> 00:48:00,909
Let him go, Mr. West.
822
00:48:04,681 --> 00:48:06,682
Of course.
823
00:48:06,684 --> 00:48:08,917
He had to have a partner
to survive in the hotel.
824
00:48:08,919 --> 00:48:09,918
Yes.
825
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,087
It worked out
very well.
826
00:48:12,089 --> 00:48:14,490
We got rid of all
the foolish fortune hunters.
827
00:48:14,492 --> 00:48:15,957
Now you two
will be the last.
828
00:48:47,023 --> 00:48:48,089
Ohh!
829
00:48:59,769 --> 00:49:00,803
There.
830
00:49:02,305 --> 00:49:03,238
The gold.
831
00:49:04,907 --> 00:49:06,575
My gold.
832
00:49:11,348 --> 00:49:13,515
I found it...
833
00:49:13,517 --> 00:49:14,850
at last.
