[00:00:15][music] [laughter] [music] >> The next one's got your name on it.

[00:00:53]>> You lock a man out of his own house?

[00:00:55]>> You treat your wife like AN ANIMAL.

[00:00:58]GO SLEEP IN THE BARN, YOU WON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

[00:01:09]>> I'm going to get the ones responsible for this.

[00:01:17]>> It had started innocently enough. Two people, a man and a woman had come to Porter. With them, they brought an idea.

[00:01:23]And to ideas, there are many reactions, intellectual, moral, physical.

[00:01:28]Cliff Doby was the physical >> What do you THINK YOU'RE DOING?

[00:01:56]HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE >> I'LL BURN YOU AND all of this.

[00:02:03]WHERE IS IT?

[00:02:03]>> YOU GET OUT OF HERE. THIS IS private property. Come on.

[00:02:06]>> A man interfere with my private property and when I turn my wife out of this booth is >> WHAT'S THE MATTER >> WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

[00:02:13]>> BURN HIM AND HIS SISTER OUT.

[00:02:15]>> Now then.

[00:02:20]What's the matter WITH YOU?

[00:02:24]OLLIE!

[00:02:25]OLLIE, I'M IN.

[00:02:28]LISTEN, OLLIE, HE'S GOING CRAZY.

[00:02:35]>> All right, Cliff, put it out.

[00:02:37]>> I will not.

[00:02:37]>> Let it burn, Cliff.

[00:02:39]>> Sure, let it burn.

[00:02:40]>> You ought to Ollie be ashamed of yourself.

[00:02:42]>> This is an outrage. I got TO GET THIS MAN AND MY WIFE OUT OF MY HOUSE.

[00:02:45]ALL RIGHT.

[00:02:46]>> YES.

[00:02:47]>> I TOLD her I wanted a first-class woman in the kitchen, not a second-class politician.

[00:02:51]>> House rules don't mean a thing to her no more. Just turn her right to the woman, she says.

[00:02:55]>> Well, just because a woman wants to vote doesn't mean she can't take care of her house, too.

[00:02:59]>> You're just as much to blame as she is.

[00:03:01]Giving him a space to work his dad-blame spelling.

[00:03:04]What right has a woman got meddling in politics?

[00:03:06]>> Oh, only men got a right to mess things up. Is that it?

[00:03:10]>> That's right. They want to change places with a man.

[00:03:13]Always want to something they can't have.

[00:03:15]>> Gentlemen, nothing was ever gained by exchanging words in anger.

[00:03:19]>> Look, mister, here's my view.

[00:03:21]If you ain't out of town by tonight, I'm going to kill you.

[00:03:25]>> All right, Cliff, I'll take your gun.

[00:03:27]>> Marry when ain't when you hold me.

[00:03:28]>> It is when you talk like that.

[00:03:30]>> [sighs] >> Just the same, if you ain't out of town by tonight, I'll do it with my bare hands.

[00:03:45]>> You sure disappointed me, Ollie.

[00:03:49]>> There was enough resentment against for trying to do if I phone clip and jail that it just added to your trouble.

[00:03:54]Come on Ralph, we got some things to do.

[00:03:56]>> Later Mr. Gilman, I got to go on the membership drive with Amelia.

[00:04:01]>> I heard what happened.

[00:04:03]>> We have Mr. Gilman to thank for helping us.

[00:04:05]>> Well, the truth of the matter is that the best help I can suggest would be distance.

[00:04:10]>> [snorts] >> I don't understand.

[00:04:13]>> I do. He's suggesting we leave town. You see Amelia, I've been threatened.

[00:04:18]>> Oh.

[00:04:19]>> It's all right Amelia. Hopefully you'll see that nothing happens to your brother.

[00:04:24]>> Yeah, Mr. Hallswell, I've been wondering why you do this suffrage business. I mean, [snorts] it would seem to me that it would be the concern of women.

[00:04:34]>> Well, it's the concern of every intelligent person in this country.

[00:04:37]>> Well, that may be, but still and all it doesn't look like you're going to have a lot of success in the state of Texas with women's voting, I mean.

[00:04:44]>> I disagree, sir.

[00:04:46]Three years ago in Alpine, I was able to list the support of half of the male population, including the mayor. Two years ago in Blanton, I did equally as well.

[00:04:55]>> Well, just it strikes [clears throat and snorts] me your luck's about to change.

[00:05:08]>> Yeah, Gilman.

[00:05:10]Want to send a message to make that to Ranger headquarters, Norton.

[00:05:15]>> Please check out Gilman and Amelia Hallswell. Suspects claim they lived in Alpine 3 years ago.

[00:05:23]Didn't you spend some time in Alpine?

[00:05:25]>> Yeah, I did, 3 years ago.

[00:05:27]>> [clears throat] >> There might be 400 people in that town and I don't remember these two.

[00:05:32]All right, sign out, Hobby Gilman.

[00:05:34]>> Well, I sure hope you flush out something. Ever since those two came to town, my wife does me a favor making me breakfast.

[00:05:48]>> I guess we talked about every female in the county, wouldn't you say so, Amelia?

[00:05:52]>> Yes, and all the women would have joined up if not for the interference of their husbands.

[00:05:55]>> Yeah, they run us off some places with guns.

[00:05:58]>> Well, Ralph, Henrietta needs some help.

[00:06:00]>> Yeah, all right.

[00:06:00]>> Is this all?

[00:06:02]>> Well, try to pry a dollar out of a ranch wife while her husband glares at her.

[00:06:05]Maybe we ought to raise the membership fee.

[00:06:08]Well, if the man won't come to the pool, then the pool will come to the man.

[00:06:11]>> That's mighty thoughtful of you, Henrietta.

[00:06:14]Oh, Henrietta, [clears throat] as you know, we started our membership drive. Amelia and Ralph have collected quite a bit of money, $40. Now, we need a treasurer, and I can't think of anyone better qualified than you.

[00:06:26]>> Huh?

[00:06:27]>> Of course, it might be asking too much.

[00:06:30]The men may resent you even further.

[00:06:33]>> Well, let them.

[00:06:36]What they think doesn't bother me. We're right, and we're going ahead.

[00:06:42]Well, what do we do next?

[00:06:44]>> Three things.

[00:06:46]First, we'll write a letter to Elijah Watkins.

[00:06:48]>> Who's he?

[00:06:49]>> Elijah Watkins just happens to be a United States Senator from [clears throat] the state of Texas, that's all.

[00:06:54]>> And my very good friend. He's sympathetic with our cause. We'll ask him to appear at a rally right here in Porter. That should bring the women out.

[00:07:02]Amelia, you write the letter and I'll sign it.

[00:07:05]Now, two, we can't have Elijah Watkins speak unless we have a meeting place.

[00:07:10]>> The schoolhouse is the perfect meeting place. I'll talk to Mr. Moore tonight.

[00:07:14]He's He said of the school board.

[00:07:19]>> [clears throat] >> What about number three?

[00:07:21]>> Ah, that's you and me.

[00:07:23]We printed up some new posters. We're going to nail one of these to every unoccupied stick of wood in town.

[00:07:29]Remember, the reward of a job well done is to do it.

[00:07:32]>> Well, when do we do it?

[00:07:33]>> Right after we eat.

[00:07:43]You run to my place, signed up my old lady, cost a dollar.

[00:07:46]>> They ran to my spread, only I ran them off with a rifle.

[00:07:49]>> My wife is still giving me nothing but lip.

[00:07:52]>> Mine's beginning to fight me, too.

[00:07:53]>> When a woman wants to be mean, she's got lots of ways of making a man suffer.

[00:07:56]>> Half the women in this town on their side. We got a fight on our hands to keep the rest of our women from falling in.

[00:08:01]>> Well, how are you going to fight a woman?

[00:08:02]>> The way you fight a woman is with your hat. Grab it and run.

[00:08:05]>> You're real humorous, Tanner. If you had a wife, you'd squash us flat.

[00:08:11]>> Hey, Cat.

[00:08:12]That suffragette fella's banging a poster against your wall.

[00:08:16]JUST GET HIM.

[00:08:30]>> NOW, OUR GENTLEMAN.

[00:08:33]>> [snorts] >> YOU WANT TO GO TO JAIL?

[00:08:47]>> UH YOU CAN'T bluff us, Hominy.

[00:08:51]>> YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

[00:08:52]>> WHAT FOR?

[00:08:53]>> A COUPLE OF HOURS IN JAIL will cool you off.

[00:08:55]And the rest of you think I'm bluffing.

[00:09:00]You better get him off the street.

[00:09:07]>> [clears throat] >> Hominy.

[00:09:11]>> Here's the answer to your telegram.

[00:09:13]>> You sit OUT IN THERE.

[00:09:20]>> OW.

[00:09:20]>> GIL, LOOK AT YOUR EYE. I'LL get some beef steak to put on it, otherwise it'll turn black and blue.

[00:09:25]>> No, you won't.

[00:09:27]This beating is just what we needed. Now the women will flock to our side.

[00:09:31]>> Look at your eye.

[00:09:33]>> The blacker it gets, the more money for us.

[00:09:38]>> [music] >> Tension in Porter was winding tighter [music] by the hour. Hobby knew that if the suffragettes went through with their plans to hold their rally, something was bound to snap.

[00:09:54]Hobby knew that to prevent disaster, he had to get into motion.

[00:09:58]But how do you tell women that they are listening to a fraud when they're hearing exactly what they want to hear?

[00:10:05]>> Listen to that. Just listen to that.

[00:10:07]>> They've taken over Porter, that's what they've done. The way they're trying to take over the country.

[00:10:10]>> Sure, they've even got a senator coming.

[00:10:12]It's all over town how they wrote him a letter inviting him to the rally.

[00:10:15]>> I tell you, if we let them get away with this, the women will be wearing the pants in Texas.

[00:10:19]>> Yeah, all right.

[00:10:20]>> Now, we going to take IT LYING DOWN?

[00:10:22]>> NO.

[00:10:22]>> NO.

[00:10:23]>> WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, RIGHT?

[00:10:25]>> RIGHT.

[00:10:26]>> COME ON, LET'S GET THEM.

[00:10:36]>> [music] >> AFTERNOON, HOBBY.

[00:10:43]>> All right.

[00:10:44]>> I just thought you'd like to know that there's lynx talk over at my place.

[00:10:47]>> Yeah, if it wasn't for this bad, I think I'd join them.

[00:10:50]>> And you'd be making a mistake.

[00:10:53]You know, the men in this town sure don't know much about women.

[00:10:56]>> Well, you do, huh?

[00:10:58]>> I know enough not to make things important in front of them.

[00:11:01]Now, you take this uh this vote business for instance.

[00:11:07]Do you think that the women in this town are raising all this trouble because they want a vote? No.

[00:11:12]It's because we tell them they can't vote.

[00:11:15]If you give them the right to vote as if they deserved it, they'll throw it right back at you because they'll feel it's so unimportant, they don't want any part of it.

[00:11:24]But they'll win out anyway in the long run.

[00:11:28]>> You can explain it till you're blue in the face. As far As far concerned, they're just plain unreasonable.

[00:11:33]>> You must have a reason to say that. More than just the vote talk, I mean.

[00:11:38]>> [snorts] >> Here, read this. We got it on Tuesday.

[00:11:48]Hobie Gilman, in answer to your inquiry, no prior arrest record in our files on Mr. and Mrs. Gil Halswell.

[00:11:56]>> Mr. and Mrs. Gil Halswell?

[00:11:59]I thought they were brother and sister, not husband and wife.

[00:12:02]>> I did, too.

[00:12:04]>> What are they trying to pull?

[00:12:05]>> Maybe they aren't trying to pull anything.

[00:12:09]Maybe they're so dedicated to their cause that they're willing to pose as brother and sister when they find a gullible woman who might fall for Gil.

[00:12:15]And a man like Ralph, who might be bowled over with a charmer like Amelia.

[00:12:20]>> I got another wire in answer to one I sent.

[00:12:22]>> Well, you've been wasting the state's money, Hobie.

[00:12:26]Sending telegrams back and forth at prevailing rates.

[00:12:32]>> She says, "Dear [snorts] Mr. Gilman, not only have I never received a letter from Gil and Amelia Halswell, but I have never heard of people of that name.

[00:12:41]Also, I want to go on record as being unequivocally opposed to any woman, anytime, anywhere having the right to vote. Respectfully, Senator Elijah Watkins."

[00:12:51]>> What are you going to do about that?

[00:12:55]>> Tell Henrietta.

[00:12:57]>> She won't believe it.

[00:12:58]>> I know it.

[00:13:00]She'll come up with 14 different explanations, all to the effect that Halswell can do no wrong.

[00:13:07]>> Well, how are you going to give us protection, Ralph?

[00:13:11]>> Well, I'm trying to give you protection, Henrietta.

[00:13:13]>> Oh, sitting here in this office, huh?

[00:13:16]Well, Ralph says that Pender's place is full of hotheads threatening to break up our parade.

[00:13:20]>> Well, as long as it's a peaceful parade and the meeting afterwards is orderly, you'll not be disturbed.

[00:13:26]>> We're ready to start the parade, on, Henrietta.

[00:13:28]>> I'll be right there, Ralph. All right, Hobie. Now we'll see if you can keep order.

[00:13:35]>> Henrietta, Hen- Henrietta, I've been making some inquiries into this Gill [snorts] fellow.

[00:13:44]>> Oh, Hobie, you're just like every other man in this town. You think a woman's place is in the kitchen and in the nursery.

[00:13:50]Just because an unusual man like Mr. Hallswell has an idea.

[00:13:54]>> He's got an idea, all right, and I'm going to find out what it is.

[00:13:59]>> Hobie, don't misuse that badge. Don't pressure a decent man just because you don't agree with what he thinks.

[00:14:06]>> I've got a telegram right here from Senator Elijah Watkins. It says that he has never heard of Gill Hallswell.

[00:14:17]>> What does that prove?

[00:14:22]>> Well, it proves he's a liar.

[00:14:24]He says he knows the senator personally and that he wrote him a letter.

[00:14:28]>> A senator gets thousands of letters.

[00:14:30]It's easy to overlook one.

[00:14:32]And as for being a friend of an important man, all of us like to think that we're acquainted with celebrities.

[00:14:37]It's a a common human failing.

[00:14:40]>> Well, it's a common female failing to believe a man who spins pretty words in the moonlight.

[00:14:47]>> Oh, no.

[00:14:48]>> [laughter] >> Oh, just because Mr. Hallswell is good looking and and can speak without tripping over his tongue doesn't mean that I've taken leave of my senses.

[00:14:58]I intend to act like any silly schoolgirl.

[00:15:01]>> Then, what is your reason, Henrietta?

[00:15:05]>> I happen to like what Mr. Hallswell says and not the way he says it.

[00:15:09]Women should have the vote. Women should be in politics.

[00:15:13]We can't do any worse than you men.

[00:15:20]>> [music] >> Hobie.

[00:16:01]>> All right, when they come by, just keep winging.

[00:16:03]>> I'm an expert with rotten eggs. I don't care what I hit them with so long as I hit them.

[00:16:18]>> Just got out of jail a couple hours ago.

[00:16:19]You want to go back in?

[00:16:21]>> Come on, throw it. It'll cost you $5 clip and the rest of you will be $5 every time you throw something. I'll see you at the general mix to stick.

[00:16:26]>> Hobie, we are not going to stand by and see our womenfolk made fools.

[00:16:30]>> I know how you feel and it happens that I agree with you, but they're not breaking any laws and you are.

[00:16:34]>> You keep right on talking, Hobie. We're going to break up the meeting.

[00:16:36]>> Let that meeting go on. It'll break up of its own weight.

[00:16:38]>> They get to hear a senator will never get him back in the kitchen.

[00:16:41]>> Maybe, but that senator isn't going to show up.

[00:16:43]>> You guarantee he don't show and we'll cause no trouble.

[00:16:45]>> Well, all I'm guaranteeing is a peaceful meeting.

[00:16:47]>> What I tell you? Come on, let's get to schoolhouse.

[00:16:49]>> Deputizing you two men to help keep order.

[00:16:51]>> Now, wait a while.

[00:16:53]>> There's an unusual situation in Porter that calls for the deputizing of citizens. I've got the right and I'm going to use it.

[00:16:58]>> Don't let him get away with that.

[00:16:59]>> You go on to the schoolhouse, but stay outside. The rest of you men, if you cause any trouble, my deputies will throw you in jail. If they don't, they'll go to jail themselves.

[00:17:11]>> Pick on me talking.

[00:17:13]>> Yeah.

[00:17:20]>> Your attention, please.

[00:17:22]Now, you all know why we're here.

[00:17:25]Senator Watkins is due to arrive in PORTER ANY MINUTE.

[00:17:28]>> [applause] >> WE'VE DONE IT, LADIES.

[00:17:33]IN SPITE OF OPPOSITION, in spite of every possible obstacle thrown in our way, we are meeting here today to demand what is ours by RIGHT AND HERITAGE.

[00:17:43]>> [applause] >> BELIEVE ME, LADIES, THE SENATOR WILL be proud of you.

[00:17:53]We should all be proud of ourselves because we're on the road to doing what everyone [clears throat] said was impossible.

[00:18:02]The women are going to get the vote.

[00:18:05]Woman's hand is needed on the tiller of the ship of state.

[00:18:08]Women can't govern any worse than the men have done.

[00:18:13]>> [applause] >> Now, ladies, let's give the senator a big surprise.

[00:18:17]Let's show him that we in Porter have more than just spirit.

[00:18:20]Let's greet him with a bundle of money FOR THE CAUSE.

[00:18:27]>> [applause] >> DOESN'T FIGURE THAT THEY GO THROUGH ALL OF this just for a couple hundred dollars in memberships.

[00:18:33]>> You're being asked to sacrifice now so the senator can return to Austin and show the people there what the women of PORTER HAVE DONE.

[00:18:42]>> [applause] >> NOW, MY SISTER AND MR. HANSON WILL MOVE OUT among you. Be as generous as you can, and remember, it takes money to fight the kind of fight we want to put up.

[00:18:54]>> What do you suppose is delaying the senator?

[00:18:57]>> I don't know. He should be here by now.

[00:19:09]>> Isn't there some way we check on the senator?

[00:19:14]>> Ladies, if I may, I've just had an idea.

[00:19:19]My sister and I will check at the depot to make sure just when the senator will arrive.

[00:19:24]And then as a surprise, I suggest we greet him in the street. Now, what do you think of that?

[00:19:31]VERY WELL.

[00:19:32]MRS. PORTER WILL TAKE OVER FOR ME here until I get back with word of the senator.

[00:19:36]You'll keep an eye on that collection box.

[00:19:38]>> I certainly will.

[00:19:42]>> [applause] >> All right, ladies.

[00:19:46]Ladies, now let's get down to the BUSINESS AT HAND.

[00:19:51]>> [applause] >> NOW, WE ALL KNOW WHY THE SENATOR IS coming and it's up to us, every one of us, to give him a reception like he's NEVER GOTTEN BEFORE.

[00:20:02]>> [applause] >> NOW, I THINK IF WE ALL >> HOW MUCH money did you collect?

[00:20:09]>> None of your business, Hobey Gilman.

[00:20:12]>> [snorts] >> Well, there's no sense in your getting ready for the senator because he's not going to come.

[00:20:21]>> Oh, now don't start that, Hobey.

[00:20:24]How do you know he isn't?

[00:20:26]>> [snorts] >> Because the senator doesn't even know Gil Hollingsworth.

[00:20:32]>> That's a lie.

[00:20:34]Will you get out of here, Hobey?

[00:20:38]>> All right.

[00:20:40]But first, you took some money in here this afternoon and as the town law, I'm entitled to an accounting of it.

[00:20:45]>> Why?

[00:20:49]>> Make sure the money's in the box and that the donation will be used for the purpose it was collected.

[00:20:55]>> You think that Mr. Hollingsworth >> Well, count it.

[00:21:00]>> Go ahead, Henrietta, count it.

[00:21:02]Yes, you just show him what a fool he's making of himself. All right. All right.

[00:21:08]Oh, but you're going to regret this, Hoobie Gilman.

[00:21:11]You'll see, the money's all there, every cent of it.

[00:21:22]>> What is it, Henrietta?

[00:21:24]>> What's the matter?

[00:21:37]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> The women left, returning to their homes and husbands.

[00:22:06]In a brief few minutes, their [snorts] dreams of a better world had been shattered by a confidence man.

[00:22:11]It would take a lot to unite them again.

[00:22:14]Henrietta Porter knew this, and she knew that what had happened was to a large extent her fault.

[00:22:25]>> Let's go, Henrietta. It's about time [snorts] to lock up.

[00:22:28]>> Oh, wait.

[00:22:35]>> I'm sorry I had to do it this way. I'm sorry I had to do it at all.

[00:22:41]>> All that money.

[00:22:44]How am I going to face them?

[00:22:50]>> It may turn out you got off cheap.

[00:22:54]>> You still weren't wrong, Hoobie.

[00:22:57]So, Mr. Hall's well and Amelia were crooks, but they were right about the vote.

[00:23:02]They were right.

[00:23:03]>> Maybe.

[00:23:04]>> Maybe.

[00:23:09]>> [music] >> Well, let's go home.

[00:23:43]Here's your money.

[00:23:45]The woman had it.

[00:23:47]She wasn't too pleased when we took it away from her.

[00:23:52]Well, I guess you can see this gets back to the proper place.

[00:24:00]>> All right.

[00:24:01]You men won this time. But you mark my words.

[00:24:05]The time's coming the women will have the vote.

[00:24:08]And there's nothing you can do to stop it.

[00:24:11]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> On July 24th, Ranger Hobie Gilman arrived in El Paso. [music] He'd been sent there to investigate a bank robbery which had taken place on July 18th.

[00:24:55]>> [music] >> Two men had held up a bank, taking $50,000 in new bank notes. One man had been killed >> [music] >> and the other wounded.

[00:25:03]The wounded man had been pursued to the Mexican border. His horse had been killed, but he had escaped.

[00:25:08]>> [music] >> Two days later, a deputy sheriff who had been trailing the fugitive was found murdered.

[00:25:17]Sheriff Galloway?

[00:25:18]>> That's right.

[00:25:19]>> My name is Gilman.

[00:25:23]I'd like to have a description of the man who robbed your bank last week.

[00:25:27]>> Won't do you much good. The murdering bushwhacker has made his way into Mexico, I'm sure of that.

[00:25:33]>> Well, I'll try to bring him back.

[00:25:35]If I find him.

[00:25:36]>> You mean extradite him?

[00:25:38]>> No, not exactly.

[00:25:40]>> Well, you can't arrest him in Mexico.

[00:25:42]>> No.

[00:25:43]I can arrest him here, though.

[00:25:45]I just have to bring him back first, that's all.

[00:25:47]>> Well, he won't let you take him alive.

[00:25:49]Mhm. I'd like to go with you if my job didn't keep me here.

[00:25:53]The deputy ambushed was my best friend.

[00:26:02]>> [music] >> Gilman got the description he needed, including a pencil sketch which was quite accurate, and left El Paso immediately.

[00:26:13]His assignment was actually a double one.

[00:26:15]>> [music] >> Neither part of which was simple.

[00:26:17]To find the man and the money and to bring them both back across the [music] border into the United States.

[00:26:27]>> [music] >> Gilman found the trail difficult to follow. It was slow work.

[00:26:33]It was hot, as only Texas in July can be hot. [music] >> [music] >> If the man he was looking for was still alive, he could be anywhere.

[00:26:47]He could be watching Gilman as he probably watched the lawman he had killed.

[00:26:51]>> [music] >> All right. All right, that's enough for now.

[00:28:35]>> Where do we go?

[00:28:37]>> Now, I'll ask questions.

[00:28:40]Who are you?

[00:28:44]>> My name's Smith.

[00:28:54]If this is what you were looking for, I figure that you owe it to me.

[00:29:01]>> $1,000.

[00:29:03]I don't think that's too much to pay a man for saving your life.

[00:29:07]Do you?

[00:29:09]Smith.

[00:29:15]Hello.

[00:29:16]Where you going?

[00:29:18]Away.

[00:29:19]W- you can't you can't leave me here.

[00:29:23]How you figure? Well, I'm I'm hurt pretty bad. I got a I got a bullet in my shoulder. Well, I'm no doctor. If I was, I haven't got food enough for both of us. Well, you you horse Your horse can carry us double.

[00:29:38]Look, will you will you just get me to a place where I can get fixed up?

[00:29:41]I'll pay you.

[00:29:43]You already paid me, my friend.

[00:29:48]Hello.

[00:29:50]I got more.

[00:29:51]I I got I got $50,000 in all.

[00:29:55]Don't spend it all in one place.

[00:29:57]Look, you got to believe me. You I got it from a bank I got it from a bank in El Paso.

[00:30:03]Yeah?

[00:30:05]I was through there a couple days ago.

[00:30:09]Somebody did get away with 50,000 from a bank, it was me.

[00:30:13]Look, half of it half of it's yours if you help me.

[00:30:26]Where's the rest of it?

[00:30:28]I hid it.

[00:30:29]I was getting pretty close to passing out, so I hid it. Where?

[00:30:33]Well, now look, I may be I may be pretty sick, but I ain't crazy yet.

[00:30:39]Look, I'll make a deal with you. You tell me where it is, and I'll help you.

[00:30:44]>> The only chance you're going to have to know where that is is to help me.

[00:30:48]Get me to a place where I can get fixed up some food and rest for a couple of days.

[00:30:54]>> Well, suppose I do what you say, um how do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain?

[00:30:59]>> It's a chance you have to take.

[00:31:02]Depends on how bad you need 25,000.

[00:31:04]>> Well, closest town I know of is a little place called Dos Equis, 2 3 days away, but you won't make it.

[00:31:09]>> I'll make it.

[00:31:11]>> All right. You got yourself a deal.

[00:31:12]We'll leave in the morning.

[00:31:15]>> By the way, my name is My name is Buckram. Stony Buckram.

[00:31:20]>> Well, I'm glad to know you, partner.

[00:31:22]My name is Hobby.

[00:31:30]>> [music] >> Gilman and Buckram rode from dawn to dark.

[00:31:37]Buckram was only [music] conscious part of the time.

[00:31:40]It was doubtful that he could last until they reached the town of Dos Equis, at least another day away.

[00:31:46]>> [music] [music] >> Howdy.

[00:32:07]My friend, he is hurt.

[00:32:10]He needs food and rest.

[00:32:12]>> You no entiendo inglés.

[00:32:14]>> You habla español, amigo?

[00:32:16]Ese hombre está herido.

[00:32:19]Los ayudas?

[00:32:23]>> Está alguien lastimado?

[00:32:25]>> No.

[00:32:28]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> How about some food?

[00:34:04]>> [music] [music] >> What's the matter with him?

[00:34:25]Get her away.

[00:34:31]>> [music] >> What did you tell him?

[00:34:40]We'd stay till you're better then go.

[00:34:58]The fact that none of us can speak Spanish.

[00:35:01]Maybe I'll learn a few words while we're here.

[00:35:06]Getting to feel better already.

[00:35:11]>> [music] >> Gilman felt sorry for the young folks.

[00:35:20]He considered telling Rodolfo who he was and what he was doing.

[00:35:24]But the young homesteader was angry and unpredictable. It was doubtful if he could or would be of any help.

[00:35:30]Or if he would believe him at all.

[00:35:33]The ranger decided to leave things as [music] they were.

[00:35:39]For the first two days, Buckram slept most of the time.

[00:35:42]He had an unusually strong constitution and he recovered rapidly.

[00:35:46]The entire situation was becoming quite a strain on the young couple and also on Gilman.

[00:35:51]But not Buckram.

[00:35:58]Who was the husband?

[00:35:59]Is that cultivator mustache or is it corn?

[00:36:02]You sure, huh?

[00:36:04]You sure he hasn't gone out after the war?

[00:36:07]I'm sure.

[00:36:16]Yeah, he's out.

[00:36:19]He's not so dumb.

[00:36:22]With a pretty little wife like he's got, I'd do what I was told, too.

[00:36:26]Just let's make sure that um one of them is in the house all the time.

[00:36:31]>> I wouldn't worry about it. Between the two of us, you haven't got all the brains.

[00:36:48]I believe I'll lie down for a couple hours.

[00:36:51]>> Yeah, why don't you do that? And don't worry, I'll take care of things.

[00:36:54]>> Well, do me a favor and keep it quiet, will you?

[00:37:27]>> It's kind of nice, ain't it?

[00:37:34]>> We'll be leaving in the morning, Sonny.

[00:37:36]You're well enough.

[00:37:39]>> What's the matter?

[00:37:41]Aren't you comfortable here, Obie?

[00:37:46]>> They're running out of food here, Sonny.

[00:37:48]We stay much longer, we won't have nothing to eat at all.

[00:37:50]>> Neither will we.

[00:37:52]>> It's too bad.

[00:38:12]>> All tortillas and frijoles again?

[00:38:16]>> Gracias, señora.

[00:38:18]I notice you ate them.

[00:38:21]>> Did you hear that?

[00:38:23]Hey Rodolfo.

[00:38:25]Rodolfo.

[00:38:27]Tomorrow night.

[00:38:29]Tomorrow night we have chickens.

[00:38:31]Understand?

[00:38:33]Understand?

[00:38:35]>> Si senor.

[00:38:37]Hey Hobie.

[00:38:39]Why don't you tell me to add some chickens? We can be eating chicken, not chickens. This is the last one.

[00:38:45]>> What's gotten into you, Hobie?

[00:38:47]You've been getting friendly with that muchacho over there or something?

[00:38:51]You're getting awfully tender hearted all of a sudden.

[00:38:53]>> Well, the story is the longer we stay together, the more we're going to get on each other's nerves. And you're getting on mine plenty right now.

[00:39:00]>> I hope it makes me feel very unhappy.

[00:39:04]I'll tell you what you do. Why don't you take a little trip for your nerves?

[00:39:08]I mean, just leave.

[00:39:10]And don't worry about me because well, I'll be okay, Hobie.

[00:39:13]>> Well, I think maybe I'll just do that.

[00:39:16]Me and my horse. I never believed your story about $50,000 anyway.

[00:39:19]>> Wait a minute.

[00:39:21]I was only ragging you.

[00:39:23]>> About the money?

[00:39:25]>> No, about you leaving.

[00:39:28]And you know I wouldn't be able to get any place without that horse of yours.

[00:39:31]>> I know it.

[00:39:33]>> Well, well.

[00:39:34]Go back tomorrow like you said, all right?

[00:39:36]>> Which direction?

[00:39:38]Right back the way we came.

[00:39:41]>> I hid the money near the dry river bed up there.

[00:39:44]You believe me now, don't you?

[00:39:47]I mean, look, Hobie. I wouldn't be going back there for any other reason now, would I?

[00:39:55]>> Doesn't seem likely at that.

[00:40:01]>> [music] [music] >> Vamos, Rodolfo.

[00:40:16]>> [snorts] >> Nos vamos mañana.

[00:40:19]>> When? [music] >> [music] >> No, [music] we're going to check you.

[00:40:41]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> What are you getting so excited about, Hobie? She's only a little girl.

[00:41:14]Get her.

[00:41:21]What's wrong with you?

[00:41:31]Oh, look, Hobie. I I got to know that you and I were getting together. Shut up.

[00:41:37]What did you do to him? To Hobie?

[00:41:39]I just pistol-whipped him, that's all.

[00:41:54]>> [snorts] >> Hang on.

[00:42:05]Can I stop you?

[00:42:08]All right. You man.

[00:42:09]We're leaving there now, tonight.

[00:42:29]>> Lo siento, senora.

[00:42:31]Adios.

[00:42:44]>> The trip didn't take any longer than it had the first time, but it seemed longer to Gilman.

[00:42:48]>> [music] >> He hated Buckram as much as he had ever hated a man in his life.

[00:42:54]Gilman needed sleep every bit as much as Buckram did, but he didn't dare to close his eyes.

[00:43:00]He knew that the outlaw would murder again just as ruthlessly as he had before if he gave him the chance.

[00:43:07]Gilman could have [music] made Buckram his prisoner at any time during the trip, even arrested him legally once they had reentered the United States, but the money [music] was just as important as the man.

[00:43:18]>> All right, we're here.

[00:43:20]>> [music] >> All right, get [music] off.

[00:43:34]>> [music] >> Right in the here.

[00:43:52]It'll take two of us to move it.

[00:43:55]All right.

[00:44:00]>> [music] >> I'll tell you, Hobby.

[00:44:08]Oh.

[00:44:12]>> [music] [music] >> Just one moment, please.

[00:44:32]Drop the money. I do not wish to put buckshot through it.

[00:44:36]You speak English Rodolfo.

[00:44:39]Obviously.

[00:44:40]Drop the money I said.

[00:44:42]No.

[00:44:43]I cannot possibly miss you at this range. I know that.

[00:44:48]I want to show you something Rodolfo.

[00:45:07]Texas Ranger.

[00:45:12]I do not believe it.

[00:45:13]You must have stolen this stool.

[00:45:16]Besides, it makes no difference.

[00:45:20]Because I want those dollars. The only way you'll get them is to kill me first Rodolfo. You are a fool.

[00:45:27]Well, that may be, but that's the way it is my friend.

[00:45:30]Do not force me to do this.

[00:45:32]I have no wish to kill you.

[00:45:36]Him, I would have done it by now.

[00:45:41]Do not make me take your life.

[00:45:44]There's nothing personal in this Rodolfo.

[00:45:47]This money belongs to a lot of other people and it's my job to see it gets back to them.

[00:45:52]And I'm going to do it.

[00:45:55]Now put down the gun. No.

[00:45:57]Use it then.

[00:45:59]>> [music] >> I I cannot [music] I cannot pull the trigger, sir.

[00:46:11]I'm not a man.

[00:46:14]I'm a coward.

[00:46:19]>> [music] >> You are a man, Rodolfo.

[00:46:23]You're a good man.

[00:46:25]>> [music] >> Now, come on. I need some help taking him in at El Paso.

[00:46:33]Can you carry that for me? [music] There's a reward, you know.

[00:46:39]At least a thousand dollars, I'd say. I imagine you and >> [music] >> Juanita can use it.

[00:46:50]>> [music] [music] >> Stoney Bucklum received exactly what he deserved. He was tried, found guilty, executed, and forgotten.

[00:47:05]>> [music] [music] [music] >> What are you doing in town?

[00:47:36]>> I just I just had a little fun, that's all.

[00:47:39]I'm tired of sitting around that shack all alone just waiting for you.

[00:47:43]>> You sit there for the rest of your life if I tell you to.

[00:47:47]All I need is for Gilman to see you like this. He locks you up and the whole thing's blown sky high.

[00:47:52]>> All right.

[00:47:53]>> Now, get out of town.

[00:47:57]If I see you before tomorrow night, I'll kill you.

[00:48:02]>> [music] [music] >> You know, I think this is the first time I can remember the paper not being out on time. Must be uh 15 years.

[00:48:17]>> Yeah, well, there must be a reason.

[00:48:22]>> [music] >> A T T A T T U A T T U A T T I Oh, I don't know how she figures I'm going to do this. It ain't fair.

[00:48:40]>> Mr. Ralph, you have a problem?

[00:48:42]>> Oh, hi Mr. Gilman, Mr. Aaron.

[00:48:44]>> Is this Porter wrong?

[00:48:45]>> No, she asked me to finish setting this front page while she went out buggy riding with Mr. Carlson.

[00:48:51]>> She's been seeing a lot of him lately, hasn't she?

[00:48:53]>> Yes, too much if you ask me. Paper's supposed to be out this morning and it ain't even slacked up.

[00:49:01]Well, that does it.

[00:49:04]I ain't cut out to be a printer.

[00:49:08]>> Ralph, where'd she meet this fellow Carlson?

[00:49:10]>> Oh, they've been friends for a long time, even before Mrs. Porter was married. He's been writing to her for a whole couple of months anyway.

[00:49:16]>> You know anything about him?

[00:49:17]>> Well, not much. He's from El Paso.

[00:49:20]He says he's in the banking business down there.

[00:49:24]Well, speak of the devil.

[00:49:27]>> [music] >> Hello.

[00:49:32]>> Hello, Bonnie.

[00:49:35]>> [music] >> He is something, isn't he?

[00:49:41]Here you are, my dear.

[00:49:42]>> [music] >> Thank you, Rex. It was a lovely ride.

[00:49:49]Good morning.

[00:49:51]Mr. Gilman, Mr. Adams, do you know my good friend Mr. Carson?

[00:49:55]>> We do, sir. Yes, ma'am.

[00:49:57]>> Gentlemen.

[00:49:58]>> Did you get the lead story finished, Ralph?

[00:50:00]>> Well, no, ma'am. I had a little trouble with the last couple of lines, but I'll have it done in a jiffy.

[00:50:04]>> The paper will be late, Ralph.

[00:50:06]But well, I guess there's a first time for everything.

[00:50:13]>> How do you plan to settle down here in Porter, Mr. Carson? Cigarette?

[00:50:17]>> Oh, no, thanks.

[00:50:18]Well, to be quite honest, I don't know yet. I've been thinking about going back into business.

[00:50:22]>> Mr. Carson has some wonderful ideas for increasing business in town.

[00:50:27]>> Oh, Henrietta.

[00:50:28]Have you asked these gentlemen about this evening?

[00:50:31]>> I'm sorry.

[00:50:32]I don't know what's happening to my mind these days.

[00:50:37]Well, anyway, are are you two busy tonight around supper time?

[00:50:44]>> Well, I've got nothing to do. You know, my time.

[00:50:48]>> Well, good, then let's all spend an evening together.

[00:50:53]>> Since I intend staying around town for a while, I thought it might be a good idea if we got to know each other.

[00:50:58]>> Well, that's fine.

[00:51:01]What time, Mrs. Porter?

[00:51:03]>> Oh, around 6:00. Does that sound all right?

[00:51:06]>> Well, fine. I'll be there.

[00:51:10]>> Well, I've got to get back over to the office. I'll see you then this evening, Mrs. Porter.

[00:51:15]>> Good, at 6:00. And bring your appetite.

[00:51:17]>> Mhm.

[00:51:18]All right, goodbye, Mr. Carson. Mr. Gilman, see you tonight. Aaron.

[00:51:21]>> Oh.

[00:51:25]Oh, hold hold on, Henrietta. I'll be right with you.

[00:51:35]>> Okay.

[00:51:49]Uh would you care for a little wine?

[00:51:52]>> Uh no. Oh, no, I don't care.

[00:52:20]>> Yes, fine.

[00:52:24]>> I uh can't understand what's keeping Rex for.

[00:52:29]>> Get it.

[00:52:32]Are either Mr. Gilman or Mr. Porter in?

[00:52:34]Or else what?

[00:52:37]I got a note for you from uh Mr. Carlson.

[00:52:41]He asked me to give it to you.

[00:52:46]>> Well, he won't be here.

[00:52:47]>> Well, is there something wrong?

[00:52:49]>> Oh, I'm sorry, but uh Rex says he's ill and that he he won't be able to be here for supper.

[00:52:55]>> Well, I'll I'll be getting back to the office, Mr. Gilman.

[00:53:09]>> [music] >> It is a new dress, too.

[00:53:26]>> Well, that's a rotten thing to do after she went to all that trouble. Of course, he'd be sick.

[00:55:03]>> For I am a tinker, the best of any.

[00:55:08]I roam over the hills and I sing merrily.

[00:55:12]Can tinker like me?

[00:55:15]I'm happy and carefree.

[00:55:18]I'm gay and I'm bright.

[00:55:20]To me, seems all right.

[00:55:24]Sing a ling a ling a ting ting.

[00:55:27]Sing a ling a ling a ting ting.

[00:55:29]There's none in the land tinker like me.

[00:55:52]>> All right, take it easy. I'll be out in a minute.

[00:55:56]Oh, the world to me seems all right. Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor.

[00:56:03]Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor.

[00:56:09]>> [music] [music] >> Hey, you. What are you doing? Stop there.

[00:56:26]Hold on there.

[00:56:37]>> [music] [music] >> Must have gone on.

[00:56:49]Must have gone on.

[00:56:51]There's no one in the land a tinker like me.

[00:57:38]>> He recognized you?

[00:57:39]>> It isn't going to do him any good if he did.

[00:57:56]I don't want to take any chances at this point.

[00:57:59]>> Are you worried?

[00:58:00]>> Too much. Didn't you say yourself that everything was all right?

[00:58:03]>> Yeah.

[00:58:09]>> I'll see you in a couple of days.

[00:58:45]>> Come in, Hobby.

[00:58:50]>> [music] >> How is he?

[00:58:54]>> Not too good. One of the bullets tore a rib.

[00:58:57]>> Is there anything I can do?

[00:58:58]>> Not now. We will know more in the morning.

[00:59:03]>> What do you mean he might not make it?

[00:59:05]>> Toss a coin. It could go either way.

[00:59:12]>> Hobby, what about the bank?

[00:59:15]>> Oh, uh it was uh cleaned out. The thief left a couple of thousand in coin. I guess he couldn't carry it.

[00:59:22]Paper money's gone.

[00:59:23]>> Any idea who it was?

[00:59:25]>> Well, I was hoping that he tell us.

[00:59:28]>> He can't, not yet.

[00:59:33]>> [music] >> Well, I'll I'll be in touch with you. Yeah, he'll get everything he needs, won't he?

[00:59:46]>> [music] >> Thanks.

[00:59:53]>> Whoever did this sure knew what they were doing.

[00:59:55]>> Yeah.

[00:59:59]>> You don't suppose it could have been an inside job, do you?

[01:00:02]>> No.

[01:00:05]No, whoever pulled this was an expert.

[01:00:08]>> And he sure picked the right time.

[01:00:14]I wonder where he was.

[01:00:17]>> I don't know, but I'm sure going to ask him. Go and close the vault for me.

[01:00:21]>> Sure.

[01:00:26]>> [music] >> Just a minute.

[01:00:32]What are you trying to do, knock the door in?

[01:00:36]What do you want? Do you have any idea what time it is? Oh, wait a minute, you can't bust in here.

[01:00:42]>> Well, wait a minute.

[01:00:44]>> Here.

[01:00:45]I was in the hotel.

[01:00:46]I wasn't feeling very well.

[01:00:48]>> You were in this room the whole time?

[01:00:50]>> No.

[01:00:51]I went downstairs to get something to eat. I came up, took a hot bath.

[01:00:55]What's this all about, anyway?

[01:00:57]>> Can you prove what you say?

[01:01:01]>> You tell me what this is all about, and I'll decide if I want to go to the trouble.

[01:01:06]>> Well, I'll tell you.

[01:01:08]You want to keep those teeth, you go to the trouble now.

[01:01:14]>> You can check downstairs about the dinner.

[01:01:16]And there was a man waiting to use the bath.

[01:01:19]He'll tell you I was there.

[01:01:23]>> You wait till I tell Mrs. Porter about this.

[01:01:27]Where's this fellow's room, the one that waited for the washroom?

[01:01:31]>> The one there.

[01:01:33]>> All right, I'll check with him.

[01:01:34]But don't make any trips, huh?

[01:01:36]>> I'm not planning to.

[01:01:38]Are you going to tell me what this is all about?

[01:01:39]>> Well, if you don't know about it, you won't have to worry.

[01:01:42]>> And if I do?

[01:01:45]>> Mister, I'm going to take those pretty teeth and feed them to you one at a time.

[01:01:49]>> [music] >> The man wasn't in, but the hotel clerk was able to tell Hobie his name.

[01:01:59]Paul Langer, he plays piano at the Buckhorn Saloon.

[01:02:05]Langer remembered the meeting with Carlson. He was still unhappy about it.

[01:02:10]Hobie had to cut his questioning short.

[01:02:16]>> See, you're a lousy cheat, and I'm going to kill you. you.

[01:02:21]>> All right, put it down.

[01:02:55]>> It's Lane Sawyer.

[01:02:58]>> Where are you from?

[01:03:00]>> San Angelo.

[01:03:01]>> What are you doing in Porter?

[01:03:02]>> Just passing through.

[01:03:04]>> Where to?

[01:03:05]>> To Austin.

[01:03:06]>> And when do you figure to leave?

[01:03:08]>> Tomorrow morning.

[01:03:10]>> You ever been in jail?

[01:03:14]>> Look, um why why why do you want to know that? Hm?

[01:03:17]>> You got it wrong. I'm doing the asking.

[01:03:22]I bought it.

[01:03:24]>> Yeah, once.

[01:03:25]>> Where?

[01:03:26]>> New York State.

[01:03:27]>> What for?

[01:03:27]>> For being broke.

[01:03:31]>> Where do you stand now?

[01:03:33]>> Well, you see, I haven't got any place I told you I'm just passing through. Just >> All right, we got a nice clean jail.

[01:03:39]You'll like it.

[01:03:40]>> Well, wait. What what what what what what do you want to do this for? I mean, I I had a few drinks at Ralph's. I mean, that's no reason for >> No, no, no. Jail, and you won't be there very long, will you?

[01:03:47]>> Oh, look.

[01:03:52]>> The next morning, Hobie Gilman sent a wire to Austin asking for information on Lane Sawyer. It'd be several hours before he got the answer.

[01:04:00]On the way back to the office, he checked on Ralph's condition.

[01:04:03]It hadn't changed much. The man was still in a critical condition. It looked like a bad day for Hobie, and it got worse. [music] >> Morning, Henrietta.

[01:04:13]>> How dare you?

[01:04:15]Just how dare you?

[01:04:18]>> What? What are you talking about?

[01:04:20]>> You know what I'm talking about. Now, you listen to me, Hobie Gilman. You and I have had some trouble before, but it was nothing compared to the pie you just baked up.

[01:04:27]>> Please, Henrietta. I had a bad night, and the day doesn't look too good.

[01:04:31]>> He told me all about it.

[01:04:33]Every word.

[01:04:36]And unless you apologize to him at once, I'll blast you right out of town. I'll ride you until there isn't an inch of skin left on your back.

[01:04:43]>> I suppose you're talking about Carson.

[01:04:45]>> You just bet I am.

[01:04:47]I'll give you an hour, Hobie. 1 hour to apologize. And if you don't, there's going to be a special edition of the Enterprise on the streets.

[01:04:56]>> You heard about the bank?

[01:04:57]>> Certainly, but that's no excuse.

[01:05:00]>> You heard about Ralph?

[01:05:04]>> You think that Mr. Carson could have had anything to do with that?

[01:05:08]>> What do you know about him, Henrietta?

[01:05:10]>> Enough.

[01:05:11]>> I mean, really. What do you know about this man?

[01:05:14]>> That he asked me to marry him.

[01:05:17]And I just may do it.

[01:05:20]>> [music] >> I'll give you an hour, Hobie.

[01:05:25]>> One hour.

[01:05:26]>> [music] >> He must have given her quite a story.

[01:05:31]She's sure after your scalp.

[01:05:33]>> Well, I feel right now she can have it.

[01:05:35]It's not like her to go off like this, though.

[01:05:37]>> A woman alone is hard enough to figure out, let alone a woman in love. That's impossible.

[01:05:46]>> How's your friend?

[01:05:48]>> Hm?

[01:05:48]>> Oh, he's very happy.

[01:05:50]He's out to have my job, too.

[01:05:52]Apparently, he's got very important friends.

[01:05:54]>> Hm.

[01:05:55]>> They don't seem to be doing him much good right now.

[01:05:58]>> That's probably because I haven't let him see anybody yet. You didn't tell anybody he was here, did you?

[01:06:01]>> No. No.

[01:06:03]>> You think he might have something to do with the bank?

[01:06:05]>> I don't know.

[01:06:07]>> Uh Mr. Gilman.

[01:06:09]>> Yes.

[01:06:10]>> Paul, what can I do for you?

[01:06:11]>> I don't know if this means anything, but I think I ought to tell you.

[01:06:14]>> Go ahead.

[01:06:15]>> Well, when I went to take my bath tonight, he beat me again.

[01:06:19]>> What?

[01:06:20]>> This Mr. Carlson, he beat me to the door again.

[01:06:24]>> Well, I'm sorry, Paul, but I can't get involved in uh >> Now, wait a Wait a minute.

[01:06:30]Carlson must have been in a pretty good mood because he was singing.

[01:06:33]Just like last night.

[01:06:35]>> Yeah.

[01:06:36]>> Well, that means one of two things.

[01:06:38]Either his voice changed or he wasn't in that bathroom at all.

[01:06:41]>> Are you sure?

[01:06:42]>> There are a lot of things I haven't got, but I do have a good ear.

[01:06:46]Oh.

[01:06:51]>> Evening, Mr. Gilman.

[01:06:52]>> Hello, Bobby. We were just going out.

[01:06:53]Anything important?

[01:06:54]>> No. Uh Jim asked me to drop this by for you. It just came in.

[01:06:58]>> Oh, thanks.

[01:06:59]>> No trouble. Telegram.

[01:07:03]>> Uh Jim says it come from Austin.

[01:07:06]>> Yeah. And he was right.

[01:07:09]I'll buy you a drink next time I'm in the Buckhorn.

[01:07:11]>> You too, Paul. Come on, Ash.

[01:07:13]>> Huh?

[01:07:15]Well, what was in the telegram?

[01:07:16]>> The last piece, it all fits now.

[01:07:18]>> we going?

[01:07:18]>> Down to the hotel.

[01:07:19]>> Oh.

[01:07:21]>> But they were late. The clerk told them that Rex Carson had left half an hour before.

[01:07:27]A check at the livery stable revealed that Carson had rented a horse and ridden out of town.

[01:07:31]Hobie knew he was close to losing. He had to take a long chance. [music] >> Hey, you keep riding, understand?

[01:07:38]If I find you in Porter again, I'll lock you up for good.

[01:07:40]>> Well, what charge?

[01:07:42]>> I'll make one up.

[01:07:44]All right, get out of here. Your horse is out front.

[01:07:46]>> Thanks for nothing.

[01:07:48]I'll be back, Ranger.

[01:07:50]You're ahead.

[01:07:52]>> [music] [music] >> You sure this is right, Hobie?

[01:08:04]>> I'm not sure of anything.

[01:08:06]>> I couldn't locate him. He was in jail in El Paso with Carson.

[01:08:10]>> All I know is that right now he's the only way to get to Carson.

[01:08:17]>> [music] >> All right, let's move.

[01:08:25]>> [music] >> What?

[01:08:36]Hey.

[01:08:38]>> Where have you been?

[01:08:40]>> In town. In town. Look, look, we we we we we got to do something about that.

[01:08:44]>> Get the money.

[01:08:46]>> All right.

[01:08:47]Sure.

[01:08:55]>> And what happened in town?

[01:08:57]>> Uh that mighty old Ranger. We got to we got to do something about that sheriff.

[01:09:02]>> What's he done?

[01:09:03]>> He jailed me, that's what he Spent the whole night in that stinking jail.

[01:09:09]>> What for?

[01:09:10]>> Um nothing.

[01:09:12]>> What for?

[01:09:13]>> I got drunk. I I I got drunk.

[01:09:16]>> It didn't make any difference.

[01:09:19]>> He didn't find out anything.

[01:09:22]He even telegraphed Austin.

[01:09:25]>> He what?

[01:09:26]>> I said he checked with Austin.

[01:09:37]>> [music] [music] >> This one's dead.

[01:09:48]>> Yeah, he's got good company.

[01:09:52]>> [music] >> Well, I guess that about wraps it up.

[01:09:57]Just one thing. Somebody's got to tell Henrietta.

[01:10:01]>> [music] >> Call Mrs. Porter.

[01:10:13]Sure is too bad about her believing him and all.

[01:10:16]Stuff she put in the paper makes her look pretty foolish in front of the town. Don't it?

[01:10:20]>> Oh, I don't know, Ralph.

[01:10:22]Everybody makes a mistake once in a while.

[01:10:25]If a body never makes one worse than that, why they won't be in too serious trouble.

[01:10:35]>> How you doing, Ralph?

[01:10:36]>> Oh, fine. Fine. Doc says I'll be up and around a couple of weeks. Good as new.

[01:10:43]>> I have I've lived a long time.

[01:10:46]Why, I've picked up a a lot of smartness, but now and then I remember I picked up a lot of stupidness, too.

[01:10:55]This is the only way I know to say it.
