00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,079

give me an explanation to take back to him.

3
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,559

00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:47,959
Speaker 2: Oh, why do you need a court?

19
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,159
Speaker 1: You got a letter from the sheriff saying that somebody

20
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,000
is setting her life. The sheriff says he won't be responsible,

21
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,400

00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,199

Speaker 4: No, ta, but light in Cotton hotel much more fun

00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,240
than life being book.

49
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:32,439
Speaker 1: Maybe, hey boy, you could be right. Early the next morning,

50
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:34,879
I faced the sun and started my journey under the

51
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,360
hire of mister Countryman. Afternoon, when I rode into the

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,199
peaceful town of Valale, perched on a narrowhead of lamb

53
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,879
piercing an Appa River where it flows into San Pablo Bay.

54
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:46,960
When I signed the register at the only hotel, the

55
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,199
clerk told me I could find miss Lena Countryman at

56
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,240
the schoolhouse three miles away, just off the north road

57
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,240
on the banks of the river. By the time I arrived,

58
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,520
she was waving goodbye to her pupils.

59
00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:04,199
Speaker 5: Oo, why Johnny, go straight.

60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,159
Speaker 2: Home, miss Countryman. Yes, my name is Paladin.

61
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,879
Speaker 6: If you're one of the sheriff's men, my answer is

62
00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:10,639
still the same.

63
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:11,879
Speaker 3: I won't leave the layo.

64
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: No, no, your father sent me.

65
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,199
Speaker 3: My father.

66
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: He wants me to see that you get back to

67
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,759
San Francisco safely.

68
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: Oh no, how in heavens mean that he find out.

69
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,639
Speaker 2: The sheriff of him? Is it up? Said yes, very

70
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,000
much so.

71
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: But he doesn't know why your life has been threatened.

72
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: I suppose I should have written him. Would have been

73
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,639
better coming from me.

74
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: Who is threatening you, miss Countryman?

75
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,639
Speaker 6: The people of the layo have it in their minds.

76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,079
Some say they've heard it for sure. The Dutch talbot

77
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,519
is on his way to take my life. Dutch talbot, yes, law, yes,

78
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,720
a wanted man with a big price on his head.

79
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: So I've heard.

80
00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:50,759
Speaker 2: Why do they say this?

81
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 6: It's a long story, mister Paladin, and I don't care

82
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,879
to discuss it. Besides, there's no need to take up

83
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,680
your time. I'm not be getting home.

84
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: What about your father?

85
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 6: Tell him I'm all right as you can see. Tell

86
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:03,519
him that I'll write and explain.

87
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, missus countryman. Yes, may I see you home?

88
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: Thank you, But I have my buggy about that.

89
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I'd like to ride with you, Miss countryman. We could

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,519
talk on the way. You're not being fair to your

91
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:16,279
father if you don't give me an explanation to take

92
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,560
back to him. He went to some expense to have

93
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,439
me make this trip.

94
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,439
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, to give me, mister Peladin. Are the mood

95
00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:26,639
to you?

96
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: Not at all?

97
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Man?

98
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh, but I have. You're a gentleman, and I didn't

99
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,040
perceive it at first. You're a host and.

100
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 6: Gun at misleading, But you're right. I should give you

101
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:37,079
an explanation.

102
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: I'll the buggy.

103
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: Thank you. I'll be ready to leave in a few minutes.

104
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 6: I don't usually take the north road, mister Paladin. There's

105
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,319
a wagon trail along the.

106
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,319
Speaker 2: River that's much shorter.

107
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: You in turn right, just up ahead?

108
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,439
Speaker 2: All right? How long have you lived in Blo?

109
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 5: This is my third year.

110
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:09,879
Speaker 6: I came here after I finish school in Champrancisco. It's

111
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,279
a lovely place. I hope I'll always be here. It

112
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,879
offers everything I want or ever will want.

113
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,399
Speaker 1: You speak so finally if someone so young, But I'm fortunate.

114
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,639
Speaker 6: Enough to know what I want and appreciate it when

115
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:29,000
I have it. There's an unending stimulation in guiding children

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,199
and watching the mature.

117
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: I couldn't be.

118
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 6: Anything more satisfying, whether you're young or old.

119
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: You've been turned here, all right.

120
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: Oh, you're a dedicated woman in this countryman, But why

121
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,000
would Dutch tell But or anyone else want to take

122
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,480
your life?

123
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 6: Why if he does, because he probably thinks I'm responsible

124
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:50,399
for his son's death.

125
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,319
Speaker 3: The people in this town knew poor boy as I

126
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,160
heard it, Jerry Lee's mother died when he was born.

127
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 6: Dutch how that brought him here to live were raised

128
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,600
by his brother Dog that always came back to see

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,240
Jerry Lee about once a month, so the law stamped

130
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:11,319
him as a wanted man.

131
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: But why would he think that you were responsible for

132
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:15,439
some step?

133
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,519
Speaker 6: But I was taught that a teacher shouldn't love one

134
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:22,680
child more than another, that he should show them all

135
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:26,800
equal consideration. But we can't always live by the book.

136
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:31,600
Carry mister Telligan, No, I guess not. I loved Jerry Lee.

137
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,519
He's eight years old.

138
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: I loved him more than any of the other children.

139
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480
I wanted him to have every opportunity available. I wanted

140
00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:41,000
him to be.

141
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 6: The best pupil and most accomplished, as if he were

142
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:45,160
my very own.

143
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: That was my.

144
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,439
Speaker 2: Why are you blocking this road?

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,839
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for you? Throw down the gun?

146
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:01,759
Speaker 2: Misters, go down, What do you want with it?

147
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:11,279
Speaker 1: Keep your rifle on him? Trump? Sure, I'll get down, mister,

148
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,199
and mount that horse you have tied in back. I'll

149
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:16,000
drive the buggy.

150
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: Why are you stopping?

151
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: You wouldn't be Dutch Talbot by any.

152
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Chance, no chance or body. I get down. So what

153
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,879
are you gonna do? Never mind what I'm gonna do.

154
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:46,919
You get on that horse whom.

155
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: All right? Trump? Keep him covered?

156
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:49,159
Speaker 1: Here, take the back way.

157
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: To doctors.

158
00:08:50,559 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: We'll be right behind you. And Leana Countryman, Oh oh there,

159
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,840
all right, Ms Lena, get out of the buggies.

160
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: Why did you bring it here?

161
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: You mister?

162
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: Get off that horse.

163
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,039
Speaker 2: Hang over here with her.

164
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: Stand in front of me. Trump, hide the buggy in

165
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,759
the box. All right there, now you.

166
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:43,639
Speaker 2: Head for that door.

167
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 7: I go on in.

168
00:09:53,559 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: Dog, Hey up, I say, right up, hello, mss Leaning what's.

169
00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:02,799
Speaker 3: To tell them? What's the meaning of this?

170
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,039
Speaker 2: Dutch has all the answers? Who's he?

171
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: What is he? Mister pell sending my father's sentences?

172
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,639
Speaker 1: Go what's she doing here? Her father sent me to

173
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:18,320
take her home? He knows that she's been threatening so

174
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,679
to the law officers in this town. But that's why

175
00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:24,000
I've been careful to stay out of their way. Everything

176
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,440
is worth just fine so far, except for the fact

177
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,480
you had to be along the same day we'd plan

178
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,120
to take her.

179
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,399
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do with him?

180
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: Touch Uh, haven't made up my mind yet? And what

181
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,279
are you an't trying to do with miss Countryman? He

182
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,519
got the rope ready to do. It's in the room.

183
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,159
Like he told me, We'll bring some extra for him.

184
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,399
Is enough for both? I'll need your help come up

185
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:54,639
all right into that room. Sit in this chair.

186
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,159
Speaker 2: Mister. He tied up the good dog, and.

187
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: It's a term. As Lena on the bunk bed. Your

188
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:05,320
turn is next.

189
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,879
Speaker 3: You don't have to tie me up to kill me.

190
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,879
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not gonna kill you with this rifle. I

191
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,200
got something prettier plan for you, a nice clean death.

192
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:21,200
It'slike the one you gave Jerry Lee. His death was

193
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,320
an accident, and you caused that accident. You caused my

194
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:29,080
son's death. You got no right to go on living

195
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,080
when he's laying out there under the ground. Why are

196
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,039
you torturing? It's got nothing to do with you. If

197
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,919
she says there was an accident, you know it was.

198
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,200
It does make any sense.

199
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: You want to kill her?

200
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: You get me riled, mister. Blow the top off your hair.

201
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: Can't you see no use?

202
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:49,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's finished a good work, though now her not yet.

203
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:55,519
You know whose room this is, miss Lena. You know

204
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,000
whose bunk you're sitting on.

205
00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:00,159
Speaker 3: Hmhm, Jilly Lee.

206
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: He'll never see this room again. He'll never wear that

207
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,799
jacket hanging on the door never again. Those pants laying

208
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:14,000
on that trunk were the ones he wore when they

209
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:15,000
pulled him out of the river.

210
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 5: I tried to save him, but it was too late.

211
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: You should have learned them how to save itself when

212
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,360
he was learning them how to swim.

213
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,159
Speaker 3: He was a good swim at the best in school.

214
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: And how come he had to drown if you had

215
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,320
such a good swim.

216
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:24,799
Speaker 5: I don't know.

217
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 6: He went out too far, he got cramped with somebody.

218
00:12:27,639 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 5: I don't know.

219
00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: You had no right teaching them kids how to swim.

220
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,639
Speaker 3: For their own detections. The town is surrounded by water.

221
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,320
It's important that they don't how to swim.

222
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: They didn't have to be learned by no teacher before

223
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,200
you came along.

224
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,639
Speaker 6: There were many deaths from drowning, and there'll be more

225
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,919
unless they get proper training.

226
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: You and your new fangled notions.

227
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:45,519
Speaker 6: I don't care what you think, Dutch Town, but I

228
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,840
love Jerry Lee.

229
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: He's the last person in the world.

230
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 6: I bring harm to.

231
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: You have no right to love him.

232
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,159
Speaker 2: He wasn't yours.

233
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,399
Speaker 3: Somebody had to love him.

234
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: Somebody did, your.

235
00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Fool woman, He was my son and doss here. He

236
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,440
took good interest in him. He didn't need.

237
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: Your help while you rode the country ruining his name.

238
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: You leave her alone that you keep out of this mister.

239
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,720
I've warned you enough. Tire up.

240
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: Doss will take her when it gets dark. The people

241
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,559
in this town will be mighty grateful to me when

242
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:40,080
they drag her out of the river. All On, North

243
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,879
Carolina is famous for its tobacco and texts. It is

244
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:46,879
well known for many other products too. In fact, one

245
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,080
of the most important producing areas is just adjacent to

246
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,120
Highway eighty seven, fifty five miles south of Raleigh and

247
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,240
fourteen miles northwest of Fayetteville. If you've ever traveled in

248
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:03,960
this vicinity, you should recognize the product immediately. Perhaps the

249
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,759
name Fort Bragg might help you. This is a training

250
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,440
camp for the Third Army's eighty second Airborne Division and

251
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:17,960
its product is combat readied men. This installation was named

252
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,159
for Braxton Bragg, who played a significant part in the

253
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,120
Civil War as a Confederate general. He was born in

254
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,000
Warren County, North Carolina in eighteen seventeen, and with a

255
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:33,080
graduate of West Point with a distinguished record from the

256
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Seminole and Mexican Wars, Bragg was named brigadier general with

257
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:43,840
the Confederacy in eighteen sixty one. Unfortunately, Bragg's generalship began

258
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,840
with a stroke of bad luck. He had practically defeated

259
00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:52,120
General Buell at Perryville when Union reinforcements compelled him to

260
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:56,279
abandon his wounded and a large part of the spoils.

261
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,960
This brought him into disfavor with his fellow officers and men.

262
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:03,200
In fact, it was only through the personal favor of

263
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:07,320
Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, that Bragg was kept

264
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:10,159
at the head of the Central Army and subsequently able

265
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,600
to inflict a crushing defeat on Rosecrans at Chickamaugua in

266
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:19,360
September eighteen sixty three. Then two months later came the

267
00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:23,159
famous Battle above the Clouds that Lookout Mount in Tennessee.

268
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:28,399
This was another defeat for General Bragg, since Union troops

269
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,320
under Grant, Sherman and Thomas drove Bragg's men from their

270
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:38,559
strong positions defending Chattanooga. This defeat caused Bragg to lose

271
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,960
his commands, but again Jefferson Davis gave Bragg his support

272
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,720
and kept him as a military adviser. Later, Davis appointed

273
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:51,759
Bragg to head the Army of North Carolina. Then, in

274
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,080
February of eighteen sixty five, when the Confederate army had

275
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,600
reached its breaking point. General Bragg joined Johnston in a

276
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,080
last effort to stop Sherman's march. As a result, Bragg

277
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,240
was included in the surrender to Sherman. Bragg's contemporary described

278
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,000
him as a strict disciplinarian who rarely got along with

279
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,639
his senior officers. It was this friction that handicapped the

280
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:25,039
conduct of his operations. Nevertheless, when looking over Bragg's military career,

281
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:28,080
one must admit that he was a brave.

282
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: And skillful officer.

283
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: In fact, soldiers like Braxton Bragg serve as a reminder

284
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,559
that America has always produced great military men and will

285
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,240
continue to do so as long as the American way

286
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:41,679
of life is preserved.

287
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: They left us in the room, and.

288
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: For the next few hours Lena Countryman sat there, tied

289
00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:59,200
hands and foot, without saying a word. Her eyes were

290
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,519
filled with tears as he glanced at all the reminders

291
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:04,240
of Jerry Lee. She seemed to suffer more from the

292
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:06,440
memory of the boy than from the thoughts of going

293
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,599
to her own death. When Dutch and Trump came to

294
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,839
carry her out, she only said, be gentle to my father.

295
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:22,359
A few minutes later, I heard them right away. Now

296
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,000
you're trying to free yourself, mister pality. Those knots will

297
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,160
hold it till I cut you loose.

298
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: And when will that be? That's up to Dutch. And

299
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,480
what do you say, mister Talbot?

300
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: What makes you think I'd go against my own brother

301
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:37,599
because you.

302
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:41,319
Speaker 2: Don't agree with what your brother thinks. Why do you

303
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:41,759
say that?

304
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: I saw your face this afternoon when he was racking

305
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,559
her with his remarks.

306
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,319
Speaker 2: You felt sorry for Lena countryman. He could be.

307
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: Right, but what can I do about it?

308
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: Cut me loose? That she'd kill me?

309
00:17:54,519 --> 00:17:58,519
Speaker 1: I suppose he would, wouldn't me? You couldn't help her now?

310
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,119
I could try?

311
00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:09,079
Speaker 2: All right? Thanks? Where would it be? It's catching the

312
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:09,960
river by the school.

313
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: Use the same place at the Jared Lee. All right,

314
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,440
I'll need a gun.

315
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:34,559
Speaker 2: It's one in the front room. Let's do it all

316
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,920
the Dutch. But how did you get loose? Put the

317
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,440
girl down from you? Stay back, I'll kill you.

318
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,279
Speaker 1: Might care played Dutch.

319
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:57,039
Speaker 2: I'm coming in. Don't do it, comp Lena Leah?

320
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, hold on, I got you.

321
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 4: I got your.

322
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,319
Speaker 1: All right now? Yeah, let me get this gag untied

323
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,720
h here we are all right?

324
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: I don't already.

325
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 5: Mah my mind.

326
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: I was gonna die my breath on the border after

327
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:24,720
I knew you were here.

328
00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:26,519
Speaker 1: I'll have to get a nice they got the ropes?

329
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:31,640
I think Dutch has one of them.

330
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh all right, old still now.

331
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 3: I think both did.

332
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a terrible things.

333
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,519
