Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:16,249 --> 00:00:18,183
Charlie.
2
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:22,483
I want to get this
on that San Francisco train tonight.
3
00:00:22,555 --> 00:00:25,046
Another minute,
and you'd have been too late.
4
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:27,923
I ain't never gonna get caught up.
5
00:00:27,994 --> 00:00:29,985
You keep tryin', you hear?
6
00:00:59,292 --> 00:01:01,783
- Now, give me that money.!
- I don't have any.
7
00:01:01,861 --> 00:01:06,298
You're supposed to have that money.
8
00:01:15,108 --> 00:01:17,906
Colonel Ashby!
9
00:02:00,019 --> 00:02:02,453
I didn't do it! I didn't kill him!
10
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,853
- Morning.
- Good morning.
11
00:03:07,921 --> 00:03:09,855
- Good morning, Heath.
- Well, good morning.
12
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:11,857
You, uh, ready to go back to work now?
13
00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:14,416
The barley's headin' out,
alfalfa's ready to be cut...
14
00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:16,428
16 colts just waitin' to be broke.
15
00:03:16,496 --> 00:03:19,488
- I do hope you can spare us a few moments of your time.
- I'm ready.
16
00:03:19,566 --> 00:03:23,400
- I'd sooner clean the stables than testify at that inquest.
- Then it's all over?
17
00:03:23,469 --> 00:03:26,370
They brought in an indictment
of first-degree murder last night.
18
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:28,930
It's all over but the hangin'.
19
00:03:29,008 --> 00:03:32,136
Korby Kyles for Colonel Ashby-
20
00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:35,704
One of the most despicable men
in our community taken in exchange...
21
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:38,478
for one of the most
charitable, beloved men.
22
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:40,542
Not a very fair exchange.
23
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:44,818
If I had my way, I'd kickJake Kyles and
all three of his sons clean out of this valley.
24
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:47,621
That bunch is worse
than a wagonload ofbarbed wire.
25
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:49,685
- Sorry I'm late.
- Audra.
26
00:03:49,762 --> 00:03:52,356
- Well, good morning, Audra.
- Good morning.
27
00:03:52,432 --> 00:03:56,562
All this work going on around this ranch,
I suppose you've been out dancing the moon down.
28
00:03:56,636 --> 00:03:59,230
Well, you're welcome
to suppose all you like.
29
00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:01,296
Soon as these odd jobs are through...
30
00:04:01,374 --> 00:04:04,241
maybe we ought to commence
ridin' herd on our little sister.
31
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:06,835
I'll have you know I was up
at 6:00 this morning...
32
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:10,576
and picked up the plans for the orphanage
for the meeting this afternoon.
33
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:12,618
Well, with the colonel's murder...
34
00:04:12,685 --> 00:04:16,746
you don't suppose Mrs. Ashby will change
her mind about donating that land?
35
00:04:16,823 --> 00:04:21,317
Mrs. Ashby told the committee that the children
shouldn't suffer because of his death.
36
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:24,363
I'm sorry. You just can't come barging in.
37
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:26,921
Out of my way. I wanna do some talkin'.
38
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,991
- Jake Kyles, you get out of here!
- Nick! Nick!
39
00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:31,536
- I ain't gonna take much of your time, Victoria.
- Get those hats off!
40
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:35,335
I'm just after askin' a simple favor
from an old friend.
41
00:04:35,408 --> 00:04:38,673
Never asked the Barkleys for nothin' before,
'cept to be left alone.
42
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:42,613
That's the way we been with everybody
in this whole valley, up till now.
43
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:45,207
All right.
What favor can we do for you?
44
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:47,913
I been all over town.
45
00:04:47,987 --> 00:04:50,922
Ain't a lawyer anywheres
will even touch my boy's case.
46
00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:56,292
They're either afraid
of Ashby's name or mad at Kyles.
47
00:04:56,362 --> 00:04:58,956
ButJarrod- he ain't afraid.
48
00:04:59,032 --> 00:05:02,866
He's pretty fair
with them legal speeches.
49
00:05:02,935 --> 00:05:05,904
I'd like to hire him on.
Are you willin'?
50
00:05:05,972 --> 00:05:09,669
Now, Jake, you think about the reasons
those lawyers turned you down.
51
00:05:09,742 --> 00:05:12,939
It's probably because they don't believe
your son's plea that he's innocent.
52
00:05:13,012 --> 00:05:17,346
'Cause ain't a-one of'em
will even listen to his side!
53
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:19,442
Jarrod, you're my last hope.
54
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,113
I wouldn't asked you neither
if it weren't for the fact...
55
00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:24,247
that your daddy and me
came to this valley together.
56
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:28,226
A member of my family
is the prime witness against your son.
57
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:32,423
I thought of that too.
58
00:05:32,498 --> 00:05:35,592
But it ain't as if he's a real member
of the Barkley family.
59
00:05:35,668 --> 00:05:38,102
- Come on!
- Nick.
60
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:42,940
Now, Jake,
I'll try and overlook that remark.
61
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:46,274
But you understand this-
I'll not accept your case.
62
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:50,915
You're always yappin' it up
about justice.
63
00:05:50,983 --> 00:05:55,352
But when it comes to action, you're like
all the rest of them do-gooders.! Do-nothing.!
64
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:58,083
I'm tellin' you,
the real knife-stickers in this town...
65
00:05:58,157 --> 00:06:01,251
are the high and mighty mucky-mucks
like the Barkleys and the Ashbys.
66
00:06:01,327 --> 00:06:05,320
- Jake, that'll be enough!
- You heard Jarrod's answer. Don't make it any worse.
67
00:06:05,398 --> 00:06:08,094
All right. You see to it he keeps
his nose out of our business.
68
00:06:08,167 --> 00:06:11,159
And see that he don't tell
any more lies about my own son!
69
00:06:11,237 --> 00:06:14,798
Mr. Kyles, I don't take
to anybody callin' me a liar.
70
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:18,139
And I'm tellin' you your testifyin'
against Korby makes you one!
71
00:06:20,012 --> 00:06:21,946
Get out!
72
00:06:22,014 --> 00:06:26,678
Get out of here, Jake, before we forget
you're an old man. Now, move.
73
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:31,056
Come on, Pa.
74
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:41,189
All right. Let's finish breakfast.
75
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:56,079
Heath. I'm sorry for what he said.
76
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:59,084
Thanks, Sis.
77
00:07:01,854 --> 00:07:05,153
I'm sure ifJacob really tries,
he'll find a competent lawyer.
78
00:07:05,224 --> 00:07:07,158
What difference does it make?
79
00:07:07,226 --> 00:07:10,389
Well, sometimes it has been known
to make the difference...
80
00:07:10,463 --> 00:07:12,658
between a verdict
of guilty and innocent.
81
00:07:12,732 --> 00:07:14,359
But Heath caught him red-handed!
82
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:17,426
That's high, low, Jack
and the game, right?
83
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:24,209
Right.
84
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:38,656
Good afternoon, Counselor.
85
00:07:38,724 --> 00:07:41,056
- Jarrod!
- Clem, how are you?
86
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:43,061
Fine. Good to see you.
87
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:47,088
Say, I owe your brother Heath a drink
for testifying at the inquest.
88
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:49,657
He's a prosecutor's dream.
Thank you, sir.
89
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:53,000
It would appear so,
but, uh, you know...
90
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:57,133
it's too bad it cost an Ashby
to get rid of a Kyles.
91
00:07:58,744 --> 00:08:00,712
Tell me, Clem-
92
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:04,409
Is it true thatJacob Kyles
can't get anyone to defend his son?
93
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:06,577
Oh, I hear tell he's been askin'around.
94
00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:09,815
But unless Korby decides
to change his plea to guilty...
95
00:08:09,889 --> 00:08:12,221
I don't think he's gonna have much luck.
96
00:08:12,291 --> 00:08:14,953
- Why are you askin'?
- Oh, it's-
97
00:08:15,027 --> 00:08:19,259
- It's just that he finally got around to asking me.
- Oh?
98
00:08:23,069 --> 00:08:26,937
No, sir.
Never a Kyles set foot in this shop.
99
00:08:27,006 --> 00:08:30,169
Them so shaggy-eared,
they ought to pay double-dog taxes.
100
00:08:30,243 --> 00:08:33,303
I ain't complainin'. I wouldn't want
to dull my shears on any of'em.
101
00:08:33,379 --> 00:08:37,440
Colonel Ashby-Well, they broke
the mold when they made him.
102
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:40,418
It was a grand funeral.
I shaved him.
103
00:08:40,486 --> 00:08:42,613
A quick hangin'
would be a community service.
104
00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:45,953
Set a simple black-tongued example
for the rest of'em.
105
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:49,256
They oughta hamstring
the whole crew of'em.
106
00:08:49,328 --> 00:08:52,729
They oughta tie 'em up in a cave
and clean 'em out once and for all...
107
00:08:52,798 --> 00:08:55,596
from the land of civilized people.
108
00:08:55,668 --> 00:08:59,263
Only thing-
Hangin' won't bring the colonel back.
109
00:08:59,338 --> 00:09:03,468
But at least he wouldn't be able
to kill anybody else, that's for certain.
110
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,534
Nice talking to you, Slim.
111
00:09:05,611 --> 00:09:09,206
Thank you, Mr. Barkley.
Been nice talkin' to you. Next?
112
00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:11,512
"The Kyles are a menace
to our community.
113
00:09:11,584 --> 00:09:15,452
"The record shows a history of 14
individual arrests during this past year alone.
114
00:09:15,521 --> 00:09:17,887
"Korby Kyles himself
has been charged with drunkenness...
115
00:09:17,957 --> 00:09:19,891
"destruction of private property...
116
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:22,519
"conspiring to defraud,
assault with a deadly weapon...
117
00:09:22,595 --> 00:09:27,157
and now we know him to be the lowest
of all human beings- a murderer. "
118
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:31,329
Don't you think this editorial
is just a little prejudicial?
119
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:35,306
You call it prejudicial.
I call it the truth.
120
00:09:35,374 --> 00:09:38,502
Tell me, George-
are all writers so emotional...
121
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:41,138
or is it just that lawyers
are too objective?
122
00:09:41,213 --> 00:09:44,114
Jarrod, I don't understand you.
123
00:09:44,183 --> 00:09:46,811
Your own brother is living proof
of Kyles's guilt!
124
00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:49,377
Oh, I'm well aware
of the case against him.
125
00:09:49,455 --> 00:09:52,447
I just wonder
if you'd print anything for him.
126
00:09:54,126 --> 00:09:57,061
Hello, Audra.
Well, who are your little friends?
127
00:09:57,129 --> 00:10:00,394
These are some of the children
whose parents were lost in the epidemic.
128
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:02,934
I'm taking them over
to Mrs. Bradshaw's house.
129
00:10:03,002 --> 00:10:05,402
There's just no room
in the old orphanage.
130
00:10:05,471 --> 00:10:09,032
Children, why don't you go on
to Mr. Perkins's store...
131
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,339
and tell him I said to give you each
a licorice stick.
132
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:20,385
- Jarrod?
- Hmm?
133
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:23,320
You're thinking
about the Korby Kyles case.
134
00:10:23,389 --> 00:10:25,380
What makes you say that?
135
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,949
Because I heard what you said
to George Allison.
136
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:32,327
Oh. Well, I just don't like it when a newspaper
condemns a man before he's even been tried.
137
00:10:32,398 --> 00:10:34,730
After all, it might be
one of my clients sometime.
138
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,428
You're not thinking of changing
your mind and taking the case?
139
00:10:37,503 --> 00:10:41,963
The last thing in this world I want to do
is defend Korby Kyles.
140
00:10:42,041 --> 00:10:45,033
- Anyway, that's nothing for you to be worried about.
- Yes, it is!
141
00:10:45,111 --> 00:10:47,136
How do you think Mrs. Ashby
is going to feel...
142
00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:49,511
about being associated
in the orphanage with us...
143
00:10:49,582 --> 00:10:51,709
if you defend the man
who murdered her husband?
144
00:10:51,784 --> 00:10:54,446
Now, Audra,
Korby Kyles might be guilty, but-
145
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,219
Might be guilty? Heath saw him do it.
That's proof enough!
146
00:10:59,291 --> 00:11:02,055
Jarrod, you've got to promise me
you won't take the case.
147
00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:06,664
I'm sorry, honey.
I can't make you that promise.
148
00:11:18,778 --> 00:11:21,508
Now you see
what I've been doing all year.
149
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:24,481
The new orphanage is going
to be as perfect as I can get it.
150
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:28,611
Here are the sleeping quarters, and this
is the infirmary we're giving the money for.
151
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,781
The pantry, the kitchen, the dining room.
152
00:11:30,856 --> 00:11:35,190
- What else do these kids do besides eat?
- They wash and dry dishes.
153
00:11:35,261 --> 00:11:37,627
I wouldn't think
they'd have time between meals.
154
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:41,758
Oh, don't you worry.
They study harder than most children.
155
00:11:41,834 --> 00:11:45,531
All right. I'm sold.
Anything I can do, you tell me.
156
00:11:51,243 --> 00:11:53,234
Excuse me, Sis.
157
00:12:01,754 --> 00:12:04,746
Well, you're home early.
Town lost its charm?
158
00:12:04,824 --> 00:12:06,815
No. Town's fine.
159
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:10,055
Audra seems to think you're gonna
commence a war against it.
160
00:12:10,129 --> 00:12:13,121
Audra jumps to conclusions.
161
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:17,158
Jarrod, if you knew a man was guilty,
would you defend him?
162
00:12:21,507 --> 00:12:24,442
Only to save his life
by pleading for mercy...
163
00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:29,042
especially if there were
extenuating circumstances.
164
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:31,879
But if he claims he's innocent?
165
00:12:33,652 --> 00:12:36,348
That would depend on whether
I could believe him or not.
166
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:39,858
Do you believe Korby Kyles
killed Colonel Ashby?
167
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:47,222
Heath, the more everyone
hangs him in advance...
168
00:12:47,299 --> 00:12:49,233
the more I wonder about it.
169
00:12:49,301 --> 00:12:52,293
I saw him, Jarrod.
You think I made it up?
170
00:12:52,371 --> 00:12:54,271
No. Of course not.
171
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:57,571
But you still think there's a possibility
that Kyles didn't do it.
172
00:12:57,643 --> 00:12:59,577
At this moment, yes.
173
00:12:59,645 --> 00:13:03,012
There's a shadow of possible-
but not probable- doubt...
174
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:05,880
even though you sincerely believe
you saw him do it.
175
00:13:05,951 --> 00:13:07,942
All right.
176
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:11,251
Then I want to make it clear that you
don't turn him down on my account.
177
00:13:12,892 --> 00:13:15,258
Thanks, Heath.
178
00:13:15,327 --> 00:13:17,318
But that's the cart before the horse.
179
00:13:17,396 --> 00:13:20,160
I haven't even talked
to the party in question yet.
180
00:13:27,439 --> 00:13:29,373
Morning, Fred.
181
00:13:29,441 --> 00:13:32,433
- Well, I see they're keeping you busy.
- No, they ain't.
182
00:13:32,511 --> 00:13:34,502
And that's what I like
about this job.
183
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:37,572
- What can I do for you, Jarrod?
- I want to see Kyles.
184
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:40,380
- What do you want with him?
- Maybe offer to draw up his will.
185
00:13:40,452 --> 00:13:43,285
- Can I see him?
- Come on ahead and waste your time.
186
00:13:43,355 --> 00:13:46,347
He ain't got nothing worth leaving,
as far as I can see.
187
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:48,586
Kyles, you got a visitor.
188
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:04,342
Well, lookee here!
189
00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:06,503
A high-and-mighty Barkley's...
190
00:14:06,579 --> 00:14:11,073
come to lord it over a poor old Kyles.
191
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:14,210
Well, I didn't bow for your brother,
and I ain't gonna bow for you...
192
00:14:14,286 --> 00:14:17,278
and I ain't gonna bow
for nobody else in this coyote town!
193
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:19,620
And I'll tell you somethin' else, mister!
194
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,683
I'm gonna gnaw
your hangin' rope in two...
195
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,228
and I'm gonna come
and get you and your brother...
196
00:14:24,296 --> 00:14:28,528
and that stinkin' sheriff and everybody else
that's a-crowin' over me right now.
197
00:14:28,601 --> 00:14:30,762
You refused to testify at the inquest.
198
00:14:30,836 --> 00:14:32,827
Does that mean
you're gonna plead guilty?
199
00:14:32,905 --> 00:14:35,396
I mean,
what difference does it make?
200
00:14:35,474 --> 00:14:37,806
I ain't got no lawyer to prove otherwise.
201
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:41,540
All right, Korby. Did you do it?
202
00:14:43,983 --> 00:14:46,042
And what if I say yes?
203
00:14:46,118 --> 00:14:48,678
Then I want to know
if you're gonna plead guilty.
204
00:14:48,754 --> 00:14:52,019
- Why?
- Because a lawyer might be able to save your life.
205
00:14:52,091 --> 00:14:54,651
My pa said you wouldn't have
nothin' to do with me.
206
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,718
Your pa might be wrong.
207
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:02,565
There's somethin' scratchin'
in your craw there, mister...
208
00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:05,195
comin' on with them cheap "maybes. "
209
00:15:05,271 --> 00:15:08,069
- Well, maybe I'm guilty and maybe I'm not!
- Which is it?
210
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:13,667
What if I said "I'm not" for sure?
What then?
211
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:17,238
Course I'm not.!
212
00:15:19,084 --> 00:15:22,520
And I got a good notion to tell
the whole world about this town!
213
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:24,613
It's full of tall doggy-stuffed shirts!
214
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:26,954
Ain't a one of'em around
good as the Kyles.!
215
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:29,756
And believe me, mister,
I've seen both sides of it.
216
00:15:29,828 --> 00:15:32,456
Korby, if I thought you'd level-
217
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:36,858
You Barkleys-
You ain't got enough to railroad me.
218
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:39,200
So you come here to shut me up, huh?
219
00:15:39,271 --> 00:15:41,967
I came down here to consider your case.
220
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:46,102
If you don't want even that, then at least
I've satisfied my conscience that I tried.
221
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:50,371
Hold on a minute.!
222
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:52,917
Keep your shirt on.
223
00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:56,216
I mean, hog, dock or devil,
I got to have me a lawyer.
224
00:16:03,195 --> 00:16:07,757
All right then.
You tell me the truth, plain and simple.
225
00:16:07,833 --> 00:16:10,563
You wouldn't know the truth
if you run over it in the street.
226
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:14,595
- Try me.
- All right.
227
00:16:14,673 --> 00:16:18,666
You wanna know about your high-and-mighty,
rich, respectable Colonel Ashby?
228
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:22,510
He had two suits- one of'em was clean,
and one of'em was dirty.
229
00:16:22,581 --> 00:16:25,744
You wanna know how he got his real money?
He got it from opium.
230
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:27,809
You're lying!
231
00:16:27,886 --> 00:16:32,016
Let me tell you that that kind of talk is only
gonna dig you in deeper than you are already.
232
00:16:32,091 --> 00:16:35,583
I figured you'd say that.
233
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:45,660
Colonel Ashby was the middleman
for the whole of central California.
234
00:16:45,738 --> 00:16:49,936
All I did was carry the stuff
to the buyers, like the Hip Su tong.
235
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:53,877
And that's what was goin'on
back there in that alley.
236
00:16:53,946 --> 00:16:56,278
It was the payoff
from the head Chinaman.
237
00:16:56,348 --> 00:17:00,307
It was one of them Chinamen
that killed him, not me.
238
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:05,751
- Can you identify that Chinaman?
- No, I can't identify him.
239
00:17:05,824 --> 00:17:07,815
They all look alike to me.
240
00:17:07,893 --> 00:17:11,385
Like I told you,
all I do is carry the stuff.
241
00:17:11,463 --> 00:17:14,091
The payoff comes direct.
242
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:16,657
So there I was,
back there in that dark alley.
243
00:17:16,735 --> 00:17:19,670
I'd come to get my money
for my day's work.
244
00:17:19,738 --> 00:17:23,265
And I see Colonel Ashby,
and I seen a man behind him.
245
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:26,800
And so I yelled to the colonel,
"Look out, Colonel!"
246
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:31,043
Then he turned around,
and that's when the Chinaman, he done it.
247
00:17:31,116 --> 00:17:35,143
So I go over to this poor man
and I pull a knife out of him...
248
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:37,552
and I chase that Chinaman.
249
00:17:37,623 --> 00:17:39,921
And that's when your brother,
he jumped me.
250
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:46,728
Huh. What's the difference?
251
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:50,667
You ain't gonna believe me,
'cause I ain't nothin' but a Kyles.
252
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:54,001
There's one difference.
253
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:56,871
If your story is true,
it will ruin the reputation...
254
00:17:56,942 --> 00:18:00,343
of one of the most respected men
in this state.
255
00:18:00,412 --> 00:18:03,040
Well, that's, uh-
256
00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:05,049
That's his fault, not mine!
257
00:18:07,286 --> 00:18:10,687
My brother testified
that he saw you stab Colonel Ashby.
258
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:13,691
And I told you I didn't do it.
259
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:17,058
He seen a Chinaman, not me.
260
00:18:17,129 --> 00:18:20,963
And I swear that on my mother's grave.
261
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:28,262
Your story is so bad,
I'm almost tempted to believe it.
262
00:18:29,975 --> 00:18:32,170
Well, thanks, Jarrod.
263
00:18:33,479 --> 00:18:36,039
Don't you ever call me "Jarrod. "
264
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:53,264
Nick.
265
00:18:57,236 --> 00:18:59,500
- Is it true?
- What?
266
00:18:59,571 --> 00:19:01,505
You're gonna defend Kyles?
267
00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:06,470
No, but it's true I'm thinking about it.
268
00:19:06,545 --> 00:19:11,539
You're gonna think yourself
right into a hole, Brother.
269
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:14,142
The more you think,
the deeper you're gonna get.
270
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:17,954
No, Nick, I'd say
it's more like treading water...
271
00:19:18,023 --> 00:19:20,514
looking for a bottom
that should be there but isn't.
272
00:19:20,592 --> 00:19:23,584
Well, I just don't see
feeling sorry for Kyles.
273
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:26,529
They came here with
the same chances our parents did-
274
00:19:26,598 --> 00:19:28,589
the same kind of land...
275
00:19:28,667 --> 00:19:31,795
and enough land to keep three boys out
of the trouble that they're always in.
276
00:19:31,870 --> 00:19:35,829
Look, why don't you give some of that good
advice about how to run their place to them?
277
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:39,935
Because it's none of my business
giving advice to people that don't want it!
278
00:19:41,413 --> 00:19:43,904
Jarrod...
279
00:19:43,982 --> 00:19:47,213
how long has it been since you've
been out to the Kyles place?
280
00:19:47,286 --> 00:19:51,086
- A long time. Why?
- Well, why don't you take a ride out there?
281
00:19:51,156 --> 00:19:54,648
Maybe you can find
that bottom you're lookin' for.
282
00:20:25,991 --> 00:20:29,119
- Mornin', Jake.
- Light down, Barkley.
283
00:20:30,762 --> 00:20:33,492
I don't look up to folks when I talk.
284
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:37,058
It doesn't bother me either way.
285
00:20:39,371 --> 00:20:42,499
Say your piece.
286
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:45,702
Tell me, Jake-
Why do you let a good farm go like this?
287
00:20:45,777 --> 00:20:48,439
It's mine. It suits me.
288
00:20:48,513 --> 00:20:51,346
I'm a free man beholden to nobody.
289
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:55,375
You figure the less work you do,
the freer you are?
290
00:20:57,356 --> 00:21:01,224
You feelin' extra proud because you got
all your buildings covered in white paint?
291
00:21:02,494 --> 00:21:04,724
There's worms under that paint.
292
00:21:04,796 --> 00:21:07,424
Shoot.
293
00:21:07,499 --> 00:21:10,559
I knew the Barkleys
when they was kinda dirty...
294
00:21:10,636 --> 00:21:12,570
and kinda neighborly.
295
00:21:12,638 --> 00:21:15,607
Well, let that be now.
296
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:22,270
Mornin', boys.
297
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:25,976
But you didn't come
all the way over here just to insult me.
298
00:21:27,653 --> 00:21:30,486
Maybe you came over to tell me
your so-called brother...
299
00:21:30,555 --> 00:21:33,786
decided against testifyin'.
300
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:36,726
No. I'm afraid not, Jake.
301
00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:41,289
I just came over here to see if you're having
any better luck getting a lawyer for Korby.
302
00:21:41,366 --> 00:21:43,732
None.
303
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:47,238
You're all of the same stripe.
304
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:50,605
Soon as one of you hears a Kyles's...
305
00:21:50,676 --> 00:21:53,144
within 18 miles of a crime...
306
00:21:53,211 --> 00:21:57,739
you right away figure
it's him what done the dirty work.
307
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:09,351
Well, what would you say if they
were within just a few feet, Jake?
308
00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:15,295
All right, boys. I want those silver
conchas in my hand right now.
309
00:22:15,367 --> 00:22:18,825
- You got them conchas, Emmet?
- No, Pa. I ain't got 'em.
310
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:22,533
We was just standin'here,
admirin'his horse and saddle.
311
00:22:22,607 --> 00:22:25,007
See? There you go, accusin' my boys.
312
00:22:25,077 --> 00:22:27,875
Well, now, suppose we take it
on the evidence, Jake.
313
00:22:27,946 --> 00:22:31,712
Those silver conchas were on that saddle
when I rode in here.
314
00:22:31,783 --> 00:22:35,048
- Now they're gone.
- Well, now, that don't prove nothin'.
315
00:22:36,788 --> 00:22:40,121
- Hand 'em over.
- Get away from me.
316
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:43,958
Let go! Let go of me!
I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
317
00:22:49,768 --> 00:22:52,601
Oh!
318
00:22:52,671 --> 00:22:55,231
Seems what everybody says
about this family is true.
319
00:22:55,307 --> 00:22:59,141
You've never known
an honest day's work or an honest dollar.
320
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:04,671
Just a minute, Barkley. You don't seem
to know a joke when it's played on you.
321
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:07,514
- Korby a joke too?
- Hold on now.
322
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:12,580
It takes a brain like a slippery water snake
to blame Korby for them boys' foolishness.
323
00:23:12,657 --> 00:23:16,423
Besides, Korby's my burden, not yours.
324
00:23:16,495 --> 00:23:20,761
And you seem to be doing everything
in your power to keep it that way, Jake.
325
00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:46,389
You know, I think I'd recognize that perfume
in the middle of a desert sandstorm.
326
00:23:47,893 --> 00:23:51,056
My, my. You look as lovely
as summertime itself.
327
00:23:51,129 --> 00:23:53,927
- Thank you.
- What brings you to town?
328
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:57,435
Oh, the place to discuss law
is in a lawyer's office...
329
00:23:57,502 --> 00:24:01,063
not at a breakfast table.
330
00:24:01,139 --> 00:24:03,107
Very well, madam.
331
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:06,667
Would you, uh,
please state your legal problem?
332
00:24:06,745 --> 00:24:11,079
Jarrod, there's nothing in the law that says
a lawyer has to defend any special person.
333
00:24:11,149 --> 00:24:15,176
I mean, a lawyer has the right
to refuse a case if he so chooses.
334
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:18,746
If he has a good enough reason.
335
00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:23,818
No, there's nothing in the law that mentions
he has to defend any special person.
336
00:24:23,895 --> 00:24:28,889
But when a lawyer takes his oath, he swears
to defend justice and the Constitution.
337
00:24:31,903 --> 00:24:35,896
Audra says the- the committee believes
that Mrs. Ashby will change her mind...
338
00:24:35,974 --> 00:24:38,636
about giving the land to the home...
339
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:40,905
if you defend Korby Kyles.
340
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:45,575
Yes, I've heard that. But in theory,
that should have no bearing on the case.
341
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:47,880
If you do take the case...
342
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:50,820
that means you will attempt
to discredit Heath's testimony.
343
00:24:53,258 --> 00:24:55,192
If I take the case.
344
00:24:58,363 --> 00:25:01,855
Jarrod, from the day Heath came to us...
345
00:25:01,933 --> 00:25:06,165
he's had to prove to the people in this valley
that he's the equal of anyone...
346
00:25:06,238 --> 00:25:09,207
that his word counts no less
than any other Barkley.
347
00:25:09,274 --> 00:25:12,869
Oh, Mother, don't you think
I've thought about that?
348
00:25:12,944 --> 00:25:15,276
You know I don't want to hurt Heath.
349
00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:18,976
But he's told me he doesn't want
to influence my decision either.
350
00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:21,712
Nonetheless, you will hurt him.
351
00:25:23,288 --> 00:25:25,313
Yes.
352
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:28,757
Oh, that puts me nicely in the middle,
doesn't it?
353
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:30,761
Jarrod-
354
00:25:30,829 --> 00:25:33,855
I promise you, I will carefully consider
everything you've said to me.
355
00:25:38,503 --> 00:25:41,063
Sorry to interrupt,
but I think you'd like to know...
356
00:25:41,139 --> 00:25:43,903
that the judge requested
Matt Cooper to defend Kyles...
357
00:25:43,975 --> 00:25:46,102
and Cooper agreed.
358
00:25:46,177 --> 00:25:48,372
- Are you sure of that?
- Yes, sir.
359
00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:53,249
Well, amen to that problem.
360
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:55,809
The usual tempest in the teapot, hmm?
361
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:57,946
I'll see you at dinner.
362
00:25:58,023 --> 00:26:02,255
Well, I must say
I admire your courage, Matt.
363
00:26:02,327 --> 00:26:05,990
Well, thank you, Mr. Barkley, but, uh,
I'm not really sticking my neck out.
364
00:26:06,064 --> 00:26:09,158
You see, the judge promised
to send a personal note to Mrs. Ashby...
365
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,964
explaining the court's position
in having to assign a lawyer...
366
00:26:12,037 --> 00:26:14,437
when the defendant couldn't get one...
367
00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:17,669
and my obligation
to accept the assignment.
368
00:26:17,742 --> 00:26:21,075
Still, you could have found
an excuse to get out of it.
369
00:26:21,146 --> 00:26:23,808
Well, since the judge
protected my future...
370
00:26:23,882 --> 00:26:26,350
I was glad to get the chance
at the experience.
371
00:26:26,418 --> 00:26:30,081
Well, I admire your honesty.
Good luck, Matt.
372
00:26:32,023 --> 00:26:34,184
Mr. Barkley.
373
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:39,096
Losing this case-
374
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:43,100
- Do you think that can hurt my career?
- Not if you do a good job.
375
00:26:43,168 --> 00:26:46,626
What makes you think you're gonna lose it
before you've even begun your preparation?
376
00:26:46,705 --> 00:26:48,639
Well, I talked to Kyles. He's guilty.
377
00:26:48,707 --> 00:26:50,698
You can see it in his eyes-
he's a killer.
378
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:17,526
Well, I'm bushed. You figure
to work on that all night, do you?
379
00:27:17,602 --> 00:27:19,593
I want to get it fixed right.
380
00:27:19,671 --> 00:27:23,072
- Sure you won't need any help?
- Nah. It's just about through, Nick.
381
00:27:23,141 --> 00:27:26,133
I'm goin' on up to bed.
I'll see you in the mornin'. Good night.
382
00:27:26,211 --> 00:27:28,145
Good night.
383
00:27:50,568 --> 00:27:53,560
You better hold it right there, boy.
384
00:27:53,638 --> 00:27:56,198
I'djust as soon blast you down
as look at you.
385
00:27:56,274 --> 00:27:58,367
What do you want?
386
00:27:58,443 --> 00:28:01,105
We aim to help you learn
your testifyin'.
387
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,448
I don't need any help.
388
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:07,246
Maybe you best just say
you was mindin' your own business...
389
00:28:07,318 --> 00:28:09,718
the night Ashby got hisselfkilled.
390
00:28:09,788 --> 00:28:11,722
Yeah.
391
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:16,022
You couldn't see who it was anyways.
Could you?
392
00:28:17,662 --> 00:28:19,596
I could see.
393
00:28:25,603 --> 00:28:30,472
Just don't you tie in Korby Kyles
with no knife, no alley, no killin'.
394
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:34,103
- I caught Korby red-handed.
- You're wrong, mister. Maybe dead wrong.
395
00:28:34,179 --> 00:28:36,409
You don't want to get your family
into trouble, do you?
396
00:28:36,481 --> 00:28:39,109
If it takes burnin' out
that fancy house...
397
00:28:39,184 --> 00:28:41,778
or if it needs killin'cows,
it'll be done.
398
00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:45,846
And that prissy sister of yours?
She could easy end up on a boat to China.
399
00:28:45,924 --> 00:28:48,392
And it's a long, long way back.
400
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:56,832
Bust him!
401
00:28:57,902 --> 00:29:00,234
Hit him again, Alan!
402
00:29:23,128 --> 00:29:26,495
You better listen now and get it right.
403
00:29:26,564 --> 00:29:28,725
You testify the wrong way...
404
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,703
and we'll come back and put this brand
so it'll mark you for life.
405
00:30:07,372 --> 00:30:10,569
What happened? Who did this?
406
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:12,735
One guess.
407
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:16,975
- Kyles?
- It was them.
408
00:30:17,048 --> 00:30:19,312
Me and the boys
are gonna do a little visiting.
409
00:30:19,384 --> 00:30:22,581
- Nick, you know better than to play vigilante!
- In this case, I wish I didn't.
410
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,588
What'd they say?
411
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:28,717
They threatened the whole family
if I testify against Korby.
412
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:34,825
- I see.
- Jarrod, no one can stop me.
413
00:30:34,899 --> 00:30:38,528
I know that, Heath,
and I promise you they'll be punished.
414
00:30:38,603 --> 00:30:41,595
And to think you were considering
defending one of them.
415
00:30:44,442 --> 00:30:48,503
Korby is not responsible
for what his family does.
416
00:30:55,220 --> 00:30:57,279
I'm taking the case.
417
00:30:57,355 --> 00:31:00,290
- You can't!
- No!
418
00:31:00,358 --> 00:31:02,349
- I thought Matt Cooper-
- He was.
419
00:31:02,427 --> 00:31:06,557
But what chance does a man have when
his own lawyer is convinced he's guilty?
420
00:31:16,908 --> 00:31:18,899
I have no choice.
421
00:31:59,684 --> 00:32:01,618
- George.
- Jarrod.
422
00:32:01,686 --> 00:32:05,247
Can you tell me why one of our
leading lawyers has taken it upon himself...
423
00:32:05,323 --> 00:32:09,089
to go against the best interests
of the town, his family and himself?
424
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,152
Well, now, George, I'm happy to learn
you're still talking to me.
425
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:15,165
After some of your recent editorials,
I was beginning to wonder.
426
00:32:15,233 --> 00:32:19,795
Or is it maybe now that you've gone
over all the evidence firsthand...
427
00:32:19,871 --> 00:32:23,034
you're gonna advise your client
to plead guilty tomorrow?
428
00:32:23,107 --> 00:32:25,041
Maybe.
429
00:32:25,109 --> 00:32:27,873
And maybe since I have gone over
the evidence firsthand...
430
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:31,882
I've uncovered a few facts that even
your newspaper didn't know about.
431
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,558
Here's to, uh, success, um-
432
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:48,963
- In the harvest.
- Yeah.
433
00:32:51,536 --> 00:32:53,527
- Audra, you look lovely.
- Thank you.
434
00:32:53,604 --> 00:32:57,301
Well, now, Audra, I've been to the
county seat and a good many other places...
435
00:32:57,375 --> 00:33:00,173
but that's the first time
I've ever seen a dress like that.
436
00:33:00,244 --> 00:33:04,738
Sort of resembles that new filly, except
you can see more brisket than fetlock.
437
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:08,650
I do believe it's one of those new
horse blankets just came out this year.
438
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,416
You've heard about 'em, Mother.
Supposed to be good for circulation.
439
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:13,423
Oh, hush up, you farmers.
440
00:33:13,491 --> 00:33:16,983
You wouldn't know a fancy dress
from a sassafras patch.
441
00:33:17,061 --> 00:33:19,427
Come on. Let's have dinner.
442
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:21,431
Yeah.
443
00:33:24,802 --> 00:33:27,066
Any word from Jarrod?
444
00:33:27,138 --> 00:33:29,629
- No, not a word.
- Wonder where he is.
445
00:33:31,776 --> 00:33:35,007
Excuse me, Mr. Nick, but Mr. Luke
told me to tell you the time has come.
446
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:37,479
Uh-oh. Cedar Bun's come in foal.
Excuse me.
447
00:33:37,548 --> 00:33:40,039
- You're gonna hold her hoof, Nick?
- Something like that.
448
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:43,281
- Well, I'll bring you a roast beef sandwich.
- Thanks, Heath.
449
00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:45,845
- Nick.
- Jarrod.
450
00:33:45,923 --> 00:33:47,857
- Sorry I'm late.
- Jarrod.
451
00:33:47,925 --> 00:33:49,859
Audra.
452
00:33:53,398 --> 00:33:55,730
- Heath.
- Jarrod.
453
00:34:01,205 --> 00:34:03,799
Well, I take it it's true.
Mrs. Ashby's backed down.
454
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:06,207
And I can't really blame her.
455
00:34:06,277 --> 00:34:08,768
So I guess there'll be
no new orphan's home...
456
00:34:08,846 --> 00:34:11,440
until we find a new piece ofland.
457
00:34:11,516 --> 00:34:13,780
Audra, I guarantee you'll have it.
458
00:34:13,851 --> 00:34:17,514
Oh, it isn't just the land
or even the money.
459
00:34:17,588 --> 00:34:19,749
It'll take another year to reorganize...
460
00:34:19,824 --> 00:34:22,418
and that's another year
out of those children's lives.
461
00:34:22,493 --> 00:34:24,654
Honey, it won't be that long.
462
00:34:24,729 --> 00:34:28,096
I'll help that committee
speed things up every way I can.
463
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:32,000
And until then, believe me-
I'm sorry.
464
00:34:33,671 --> 00:34:35,798
Jarrod, maybe it isn't your fault.
465
00:34:35,873 --> 00:34:39,172
Maybe it's just the times
that we live in that-
466
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:41,768
that allow children to suffer so much.
467
00:34:41,846 --> 00:34:44,440
Well, whatever it is, I hate it!
468
00:34:44,515 --> 00:34:46,847
- Audra.
- Jarrod.
469
00:34:58,162 --> 00:35:01,427
Needless to say,
I'll be glad when this trial is over.
470
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:04,458
You think you got a chance, Jarrod?
471
00:35:04,535 --> 00:35:07,902
A good one, based on what I've got.
472
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:11,169
Only I've heard that Greene has
a surprise witness. That worries me.
473
00:35:11,242 --> 00:35:13,472
And I don't?
474
00:35:17,815 --> 00:35:21,751
Heath, you understand
that when a lawyer takes a job...
475
00:35:21,819 --> 00:35:25,448
he does it any way he can,
no holds barred.
476
00:35:25,523 --> 00:35:30,290
So that means, if you can, you're gonna
turn me upside down and inside out.
477
00:35:30,361 --> 00:35:34,957
- That's what it means.
- I'll be ready for you.
478
00:35:45,409 --> 00:35:50,073
Your Honor, I intend to prove,
beyond a shadow of a doubt...
479
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:53,447
that Colonel Ashby could only
have received the fatal wound...
480
00:35:53,518 --> 00:35:55,782
at the hands of the defendant.
481
00:35:57,121 --> 00:36:00,818
Now, Mr. Kyles,
when questioned by Mr. Barkley...
482
00:36:00,892 --> 00:36:05,056
you stated that this here knife
is your personal property.
483
00:36:08,299 --> 00:36:11,791
Yeah, that's my knife.
I made that knife myself.
484
00:36:11,869 --> 00:36:14,667
And this knife belongs to you too,
doesn't it?
485
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,002
I told you that that's the knife
I pulled out of Colonel Ashby's stomach...
486
00:36:21,078 --> 00:36:24,309
before I chased the Chinaman
that stabbed him.
487
00:36:24,382 --> 00:36:27,510
In your testimony, Mr. Kyles,
you said you, uh-
488
00:36:27,585 --> 00:36:29,576
you wouldn't own a knife like this.
489
00:36:29,654 --> 00:36:32,487
Now, uh, why should we believe you?
490
00:36:34,258 --> 00:36:36,192
Uh, can I show you somethin'?
491
00:36:47,905 --> 00:36:50,669
Order.! Order.!
492
00:36:50,741 --> 00:36:52,675
Order in this courtroom.!
493
00:36:52,743 --> 00:36:58,113
Now, do you think I'd own an off-breed
toad-sticker like that thing there?
494
00:36:58,182 --> 00:37:02,744
I want no more such demonstration
in this courtroom, Mr. Kyles.
495
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:05,482
Satisfy yourself
with answering the questions.
496
00:37:05,556 --> 00:37:08,218
Well, yes, sir, Judge.
I'll answer 'em.
497
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:11,451
That'll be all, Mr. Kyles.
498
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:16,593
Witness dismissed.
499
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:18,635
Now call your next witness,
Mr. Barkley.
500
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,403
Your Honor, I'd like to call
Mr. Asa Harmon to the stand, please.
501
00:37:25,476 --> 00:37:28,639
Mr. Harmon, would you state
your occupation, please?
502
00:37:28,713 --> 00:37:32,342
I'm a special detective employed by
Senator Harrison's investigating committee.
503
00:37:32,416 --> 00:37:34,384
How long have you been so involved?
504
00:37:34,452 --> 00:37:36,443
Just a little over six months.
505
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,750
What is the purpose
of your investigation?
506
00:37:38,823 --> 00:37:43,226
Legislative restrictions on
the importation and sale of harmful drugs.
507
00:37:43,294 --> 00:37:46,263
All right, Mr. Harmon.
Would you tell us, please, what you know...
508
00:37:46,330 --> 00:37:50,266
of the connection between
Colonel Ashby and Korby Kyles?
509
00:37:50,334 --> 00:37:53,098
Kyles worked for Colonel Ashby.
510
00:37:53,170 --> 00:37:55,161
That can't be true.!
511
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,675
Colonel Ashby was a member
of a ring distributing opium...
512
00:37:58,743 --> 00:38:00,734
to tongs here and in San Francisco.
513
00:38:00,811 --> 00:38:04,110
Order in this court.!
Continue, Mr. Barkley.
514
00:38:06,417 --> 00:38:10,148
Mr. Harmon,
are you saying that Colonel Ashby...
515
00:38:10,221 --> 00:38:12,212
a man of spotless reputation...
516
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,417
was involved in the narcotics traffic?
517
00:38:14,492 --> 00:38:16,722
Well, he was more than just involved.
518
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:18,819
Colonel Ashby
was one of the prime movers.
519
00:38:18,896 --> 00:38:22,332
According to your information,
how long was he involved in this trade?
520
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,460
Objection! You will not
make murder any less repugnant...
521
00:38:25,536 --> 00:38:28,471
by maligning and slandering
the good name of the victim...
522
00:38:28,539 --> 00:38:30,530
who's not here to defend himself.
523
00:38:30,608 --> 00:38:34,271
Your Honor, I'm merely trying to
establish the victim's true occupation...
524
00:38:34,345 --> 00:38:38,475
to show that there might be others with
stronger motives to have committed this crime.
525
00:38:41,085 --> 00:38:44,680
I deeply regret bringing out
this sordid background.
526
00:38:44,755 --> 00:38:48,452
However, I am sworn to defend
my client by all possible means.
527
00:38:48,526 --> 00:38:51,552
Objection overruled.
528
00:38:51,629 --> 00:38:54,655
Please answer the question,
Mr. Harmon.
529
00:38:54,732 --> 00:38:57,326
How long was he so involved?
530
00:38:57,401 --> 00:39:01,132
We have records showing that Colonel Ashby
has been involved in the narcotics trade...
531
00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:03,196
for over a period of 20 years.
532
00:39:03,274 --> 00:39:06,641
Then it is credible that he may have made
an arrangement to meet somebody else...
533
00:39:06,711 --> 00:39:09,305
possibly a member of the tong
in the alley that night?
534
00:39:09,380 --> 00:39:11,905
Yes, sir. I would say so.
535
00:39:11,982 --> 00:39:14,542
Now, Mr. Harmon,
would you tell us, please...
536
00:39:14,618 --> 00:39:18,315
what you've been able to find out about
the narcotics traffic and how it operates?
537
00:39:18,389 --> 00:39:20,323
Yes, sir.
538
00:39:20,391 --> 00:39:23,519
The stuff is imported into this country,
diluted, repackaged...
539
00:39:23,594 --> 00:39:27,223
and then distributed
to various cities and communities.
540
00:39:27,298 --> 00:39:31,359
The original investment pays off
at about 1,000% profit.
541
00:39:31,435 --> 00:39:35,565
The addict becomes a virtual slave
to his supplier.
542
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:37,698
Congress is presently working
on legislation...
543
00:39:37,775 --> 00:39:41,006
which will make the public sale
of harmful drugs illegal.
544
00:39:41,078 --> 00:39:43,774
You tell 'em, feller! You tell 'em!
545
00:39:43,848 --> 00:39:47,750
Order!
546
00:39:49,987 --> 00:39:52,717
Thank you, sir.
No further questions.
547
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:54,917
Do you wish to cross-examine,
Mr. Greene?
548
00:39:54,992 --> 00:39:58,018
Thank you, Your Honor.
Not at this time.
549
00:39:59,497 --> 00:40:02,364
That'll be all, Mr. Harmon.
Thank you. You're dismissed.
550
00:40:10,174 --> 00:40:13,701
Are you ready to call
your next witness, Mr. Barkley?
551
00:40:16,814 --> 00:40:18,805
I am, Your Honor.
552
00:40:21,252 --> 00:40:25,814
I would like to recall
Mr. Heath Barkley to the stand.
553
00:40:25,890 --> 00:40:29,291
The court recalls Mr. Heath Barkley
to the witness stand.
554
00:40:40,070 --> 00:40:42,903
Mr. Barkley, you're aware
that having been sworn in before...
555
00:40:42,973 --> 00:40:45,464
you're still under oath to tell the truth?
556
00:40:45,543 --> 00:40:47,568
- Yes, sir.
- Be seated.
557
00:41:05,329 --> 00:41:08,821
Mr. Barkley, according to
your testimony earlier in this trial...
558
00:41:08,899 --> 00:41:12,630
you stated that the quarrel
you heard from the alley...
559
00:41:12,703 --> 00:41:16,332
sounded like such a critical matter
that you felt you should interfere.
560
00:41:16,407 --> 00:41:17,999
That's correct.
561
00:41:19,577 --> 00:41:22,068
You further stated
that upon entering the alley...
562
00:41:22,146 --> 00:41:24,808
you saw two men fighting
in the shadows...
563
00:41:24,882 --> 00:41:27,612
and that when you came close...
564
00:41:27,685 --> 00:41:32,122
one man ran away, and the other slumped
and fell from a knife wound in the abdomen.
565
00:41:32,189 --> 00:41:34,453
- Is that correct?
- That's right.
566
00:41:36,861 --> 00:41:40,854
Can you tell me the location
of the nearest streetlamp to that alley?
567
00:41:40,931 --> 00:41:43,365
Streetlamp?
568
00:41:43,434 --> 00:41:45,163
No.
569
00:41:45,236 --> 00:41:49,366
According to my measurements,
it's 87 feet away.
570
00:41:51,742 --> 00:41:55,178
Over 30 feet
from the entrance to that alley.
571
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:58,374
Now, from that distance, that lamp
couldn't shed enough light in that alley...
572
00:41:58,449 --> 00:42:01,350
for a man to see his hand
one foot in front of his face...
573
00:42:01,418 --> 00:42:04,581
and yet you state
that you clearly saw Korby Kyles.
574
00:42:04,655 --> 00:42:07,749
He was in the shadows,
but I know it was him.
575
00:42:07,825 --> 00:42:10,817
- Even in the shadows?
- That's what I said.
576
00:42:14,198 --> 00:42:17,998
Now, Mr. Barkley, would you please
tell us again everything that happened...
577
00:42:18,068 --> 00:42:20,764
up to the time just before
you entered the alley?
578
00:42:20,838 --> 00:42:22,772
I was walking along...
579
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,105
and the headlight from
the San Francisco Limited passed over me.
580
00:42:26,176 --> 00:42:29,873
I heard a man yell, and I ran into the alley
to see what it was all about.
581
00:42:29,947 --> 00:42:33,883
Even though it was dark, I could see
in the shadows clearly enough to know...
582
00:42:33,951 --> 00:42:36,784
that it was Korby Kyles who ran...
583
00:42:38,355 --> 00:42:40,619
and Colonel Ashby
who had been stabbed.
584
00:42:40,691 --> 00:42:43,125
- You're sure?
- I am.
585
00:42:43,193 --> 00:42:46,720
Sure enough to put a noose
around the defendant's neck?
586
00:42:46,797 --> 00:42:49,960
- Yes. I got no reason to lie.
- I'm not suggesting you're lying.
587
00:42:50,034 --> 00:42:54,403
Merely that you're mistaken when you state
that you clearly saw Korby Kyles running away.
588
00:42:54,471 --> 00:42:56,234
I say you're dead wrong.
589
00:42:56,307 --> 00:42:58,241
I intend to prove you're mistaken...
590
00:42:58,309 --> 00:43:00,869
by showing you the shadows you saw
were purely imaginary.
591
00:43:00,945 --> 00:43:04,437
- They weren't imaginary!
- Now, you're out of order, Mr. Barkley.
592
00:43:04,515 --> 00:43:09,248
Now, if you speak out again,
I'll order you out of this courtroom.
593
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,618
Continue.
594
00:43:11,689 --> 00:43:14,783
Can you tell me what kind of a moon
there was that night?
595
00:43:14,858 --> 00:43:19,295
No, I- I don't recall
what kind of moon there was.
596
00:43:19,363 --> 00:43:22,389
Very likely.
597
00:43:22,466 --> 00:43:26,903
Your Honor, I hold here in my hand a newspaper,
which I'll submit later in evidence...
598
00:43:26,971 --> 00:43:30,065
which clearly states
that there was no moon that night.
599
00:43:30,140 --> 00:43:32,165
And if there was no moon,
there was no light.
600
00:43:32,242 --> 00:43:34,233
And if there was no light,
there were no shadows.
601
00:43:34,311 --> 00:43:39,112
You would have had to recognize Korby Kyles
in what virtually amounts to total darkness.
602
00:43:49,093 --> 00:43:52,585
Now I submit to you
that this is what really happened-
603
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:54,654
From the sounds you heard in the alley...
604
00:43:54,732 --> 00:43:58,395
it was clear to you that somebody
had stabbed Colonel Ashby and run away.
605
00:43:58,469 --> 00:44:02,701
Now, you chased after that man in the total
darkness, and you stumbled on Korby Kyles.
606
00:44:02,773 --> 00:44:06,607
And putting his reputation together with
what had happened in the alley...
607
00:44:06,677 --> 00:44:10,340
you assumed that it was Korby
who had done the stabbing.
608
00:44:10,414 --> 00:44:14,510
Now, having assumed that much,
your imagination took you one step further.
609
00:44:14,585 --> 00:44:17,816
It led you to believe
that you saw more in that dark alley...
610
00:44:17,888 --> 00:44:21,551
than it was humanly possible to see.
611
00:44:21,625 --> 00:44:24,321
Now, I'm going to ask you one more time.
612
00:44:24,395 --> 00:44:27,922
Are you absolutely sure
it was Korby Kyles you saw...
613
00:44:27,998 --> 00:44:30,660
and that it could not
have been somebody else?
614
00:44:37,441 --> 00:44:39,966
No.
615
00:44:40,044 --> 00:44:42,512
I guess I'm not sure after all.
616
00:44:45,115 --> 00:44:48,710
That will be all.
617
00:44:52,489 --> 00:44:55,049
Any further questions, Mr. Greene?
618
00:44:55,125 --> 00:44:56,990
None, Your Honor.
619
00:45:06,036 --> 00:45:10,097
I guess they're gonna have to
let me go, right?
620
00:45:10,174 --> 00:45:12,734
Your chances look pretty good.
621
00:45:12,810 --> 00:45:15,074
Your Honor...
622
00:45:15,145 --> 00:45:18,637
I, uh, would like to call
one more witness at this time.
623
00:45:18,716 --> 00:45:21,708
Mr. Henry Bingham.
624
00:45:21,785 --> 00:45:26,381
Mr. Bingham, you're a train engineer on
the northern division.
625
00:45:26,457 --> 00:45:29,119
- Is that right?
- Yes, sir.
626
00:45:29,193 --> 00:45:33,994
Now, where were you this month
on the night of the 15th at 11:30 p. m.?
627
00:45:34,064 --> 00:45:36,828
I was just heading Number Nine
out for San Francisco.
628
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:39,596
I was a couple of minutes late.
629
00:45:39,670 --> 00:45:44,664
- Did you know Colonel Ashby?
- I'd seen him up and down the line for years.
630
00:45:44,742 --> 00:45:48,303
Now, Mr. Bingham, would you please
tell the court, in your own words...
631
00:45:48,378 --> 00:45:52,212
exactly what you saw that night
as your train left the station?
632
00:45:52,282 --> 00:45:56,275
Yes, sir. I'd just cleared the last switch
and was watching ahead.
633
00:45:56,353 --> 00:46:00,289
And straight into the light of my engine
I seen these two men fighting in the alley.
634
00:46:00,357 --> 00:46:04,293
Well, how long did the light
from your engine shine on the fight?
635
00:46:04,361 --> 00:46:06,795
Couldn't say for certain...
636
00:46:06,864 --> 00:46:09,662
but it was long enough
to see 'em both clear.
637
00:46:09,733 --> 00:46:11,894
Go on, Mr. Bingham.
638
00:46:11,969 --> 00:46:15,370
Tell us, uh-Who did you see?
639
00:46:15,439 --> 00:46:18,772
The one that was well-dressed
I recognized right off as Colonel Ashby.
640
00:46:18,842 --> 00:46:21,140
The other one I recognized
at the same time.
641
00:46:21,211 --> 00:46:24,009
What was the other man wearin'?
642
00:46:24,081 --> 00:46:26,311
Farmhand dress
is the best I can tell you.
643
00:46:26,383 --> 00:46:29,375
Well, now, Mr. Bingham,
I can readily understand...
644
00:46:29,453 --> 00:46:32,479
how you might have recognized
Colonel Ashby right off...
645
00:46:32,556 --> 00:46:35,184
but, uh, how can you be
so sure of this other man?
646
00:46:35,259 --> 00:46:38,990
I saw his face real clear, and I'd know
his face from any other in a second.
647
00:46:39,062 --> 00:46:42,361
Oh. Well, now, why is that?
648
00:46:42,432 --> 00:46:45,924
I'd seen him many times hanging around
the station when I was changin'trains.
649
00:46:46,003 --> 00:46:49,268
Never knew his name,
but I'd never forget his face.
650
00:46:49,339 --> 00:46:54,140
Mr. Bingham, why has it taken you so long
to come back here to testify?
651
00:46:54,211 --> 00:46:56,839
When I read about Heath Barkley
catchin' him red-handed...
652
00:46:56,914 --> 00:47:01,112
why, I figured it was cut and dried without
my havin'to come down here to say my piece.
653
00:47:01,185 --> 00:47:04,677
Then I read about the trial goin'on,
and I sent the telegram.
654
00:47:04,755 --> 00:47:07,315
Can't you make him shut up?
Can't you make him shut up?
655
00:47:07,391 --> 00:47:09,552
Uh, Mr. Bingham...
656
00:47:09,626 --> 00:47:13,653
about the man you saw that night
fighting with Colonel Ashby in the alley-
657
00:47:13,730 --> 00:47:16,164
Is he, uh, here in the courtroom?
658
00:47:16,233 --> 00:47:18,201
He is.
659
00:47:18,268 --> 00:47:21,294
Would you, uh, point him out, please?
660
00:47:21,371 --> 00:47:24,534
I'll kill him. I swear to you,
I'm gonna kill him!
661
00:47:26,143 --> 00:47:29,340
That's him!
The man you call Korby Kyles.
662
00:47:29,413 --> 00:47:32,746
He didn't do it!
663
00:47:36,820 --> 00:47:39,789
What do you mean?
Uh, you couldn't have seen me.
664
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:42,325
I mean,
nobody could've seen me do it!
665
00:47:42,392 --> 00:47:44,883
No! Nobody could've seen me do it!
666
00:49:18,021 --> 00:49:22,287
All right.
I'd like to propose a little toast.
667
00:49:22,359 --> 00:49:24,350
Here's to big brother...
668
00:49:24,428 --> 00:49:27,795
who, it seems, is capable of making
one of the biggest mistakes possible.
669
00:49:27,864 --> 00:49:30,924
Audra, do you know
what mistake he's talking about?
670
00:49:31,001 --> 00:49:33,868
No, I don't. Maybe you know, Nick.
671
00:49:33,937 --> 00:49:36,599
Beats me. Mother, do you know
what mistakeJarrod's talking about?
672
00:49:36,673 --> 00:49:39,608
I haven't the faintest idea.
673
00:49:42,779 --> 00:49:45,839
- Jarrod, how about dinner?
- Dinner?
674
00:49:45,916 --> 00:49:48,612
Well, it's almost 10:00.
You mean you haven't eaten yet?
675
00:49:50,087 --> 00:49:53,648
The family is not about to
have dinner tonight without you.
