1
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't need a gun for you, mister. You're all

2
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:19,199
eating up with fear and hate. The most you can

3
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:33,920
hope for now is a fast death. Have gun, Will Travel,

led of it.

8
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: Thank you.

9
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,599
Speaker 3: I noticed you see your long time study.

10
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: Item and new thing, so turned back the clock.

11
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: The Hamond Sentinel last week's edition, reading the item deathbed

12
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,719
confession clears Ed Stacy dying of gunshot wounds suffered in

a feudal attempt to rob.

14
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: The Overland Stage.

15
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,159
Speaker 1: Joe Bines, a former driver, confessed to another hold up

16
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:39,920
two years ago and exaonerated Ed Stacy, who had been

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,920
convicted of the crime and sentenced to a.

00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: Long term in prison. Ms Wang. Two years ago, I

19
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:47,879
brought Ed Stacey back for trialmph.

20
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Oh, you have pain from conscience, but you only do

21
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:53,400
job me to Paladin.

22
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,159
Speaker 2: That's what I've been telling myself. You tell yourself, but

23
00:01:56,239 --> 00:01:56,599
at the.

24
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,439
Speaker 1: Same time, I don't like to feel it. I've been

25
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,719
responsible for taking two years up innocent man's life, right,

26
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:06,439
don I'm not so sure. Here's the rest of the

27
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:11,280
newspaper report. Will Stanhope, president of the Overland Line, announced

28
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,120
he would personally arrange for Stacy's release and express profound

29
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:16,879
regretted the miscarriage of justice.

30
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:19,319
Speaker 2: Oh sounds fine, doesn't it?

31
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: Ohsa, he's fine?

32
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: Well?

33
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: That telegram you delivered to me half an hour ago

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,280
was from the same Will Stanhope.

35
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: No, What'm I do with him?

36
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: I don't know now here listen, need you life in danger?

37
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: Come at once?

38
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Nice? How unfortunate?

39
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: Oh what's your plan, mister pot Well, he says it once?

40
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,520
I guess I better get started.

41
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: Hello, this is Marvin Miller with another page from your

42
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,960
American Heritage scrapbook. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, newly

43
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,479
discovered America offered breathing space for the cramped peoples of Europe,

44
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,879
but no one could guess how rapidly the vast, unsettled

45
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,759
wilderness could be tamed. Englishmen arriving in Jamestown and Plymouth

46
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,080
were beset by famine, disease, and hostile Indians. They were

47
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,840
lucky to survive at all, Populating the colonies was a

48
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,319
slow and arduous process, but due largely to the Great

49
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,039
Puritan migration from Europe. By sixteen forty one, some fifty

50
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:35,840
thousand English settlers had reached North America. Seventy five years later,

51
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,000
this continuous migration from Europe and the British Isles had

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,879
brought the colonial population to four hundred thirty five thousand.

53
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: On the eve of the revolution.

54
00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:49,039
Speaker 3: In seventeen seventy five, two and a half million people

55
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,560
inhabited the thirteen colonies, approximately one third of the population

56
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:54,840
of all Great Britain.

57
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:57,599
Speaker 2: The first federal.

58
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,599
Speaker 3: Census in seventeen ninety disclosed that less than three percent

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080
of the population were in towns of more than ten thousand.

60
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:09,240
Most immigrants lived on the land, but cities were beginning

61
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,120
to flourish. Revolutionary Philadelphia, with its forty thousand inhabitants, was

62
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,879
the first colonial city in size. New York was second

63
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,199
with twenty five thousand, Boston with sixteen thousand. Third, Charleston,

64
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,560
the largest city of the South, numbered twelve thousand.

65
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: America was growing.

66
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,959
Speaker 3: And in spite of all adversity, America was destined to

67
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,920
continue its growth. Why possibly because America was a dream

68
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,000
for freedom loving people then as it is today.

69
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: The trip to Hammond wasn't exactly a present one. Before

70
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,279
I reached town, my horse founded and I walked the

71
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,040
last three miles carrying my saddlin's bag, exhausted, but the

72
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,800
matter seemed urgent and not already wasted time, so I

73
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,759
went directly to the Overland stage office. Except that he

74
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,839
appeared to have shrunk a bit, and the skin seemed

75
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,560
to be drawn even tighter over his thin, sharp face.

76
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,759
Will Stand Hope hadn't changed much in the two years

77
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,000
since I'd last seen him.

78
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: I recognized the man with him, the Sheriff Clyde.

79
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Hello, Paladin, No, Paladin, glad you've got here?

80
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: Sit down. Uh, I'm tired.

81
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: So whatever it is you've gone in your mind, stand Hope,

82
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:39,079
let's get started and show me Aladin. He's come back

83
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,319
for revenge. He just came home back to his branch.

84
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:43,319
What else would he do?

85
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: You talking about that Stacy?

86
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: You know about Stacy? Read it in the paper, Dan Halpair, Thanks,

87
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,560
that's gone.

88
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: He cut it for him.

89
00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: Boy, he's got a write at the door. Considering did

90
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,480
I say if we try to make it up to him,

91
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,720
show him we're glad he's back, he'll cool off.

92
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: I agree, Let's.

93
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: Wait and see, wait for him to kill me, I suppose. Well,

94
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,560
all I know is I can't arrest the man for

95
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:14,319
what he's thinking. Try to get back to the office, fool.

96
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,519
Now do you know why I sent you that wire?

97
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,879
Speaker 2: Valadin? I need someone to protect me. Just what do

98
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,879
you want me to do, mister Stanhope.

99
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: There's three thousand dollars in this envelope. If Stacy could

100
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,199
be persuaded to leave Hammond for good.

101
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: Three thousand dollars a lot of persuasion.

102
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,319
Speaker 1: Use whatever you have to and keep the rest. I

103
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,600
wouldn't even care if you kept it all, as long

104
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:49,920
as I never had to worry about Stacy again. That

105
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,839
kind of deal is out. I'll find Stacy and talk

106
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,920
to him in the morning. Maybe if you saw him tonight,

107
00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:00,839
I assure you I'll be much more persuasive. A night's sleep.

108
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,279
I was just settling down to get that night's sleep

109
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,360
when I heard someone in the hall outside my hotel

110
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,439
room and a splintering sound. There was a flimsy door

111
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:18,279
the way of preshures. I made a try for my gun,

112
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:19,360
but it hung just out of reach.

113
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: Before you my name is, Ben Stacey, you and me

114
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,920
are going to have a little talk. Ben Stacy, You're

115
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,759
going to have a little talk about the way you

116
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:31,240
and stan Hope Railroad and my brother. I wasn't a

117
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,319
judging jury. I did the job. I was paid. You're wrong, mister,

118
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:37,759
you ain't been paid yet. I'm taking care of that

119
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:38,319
right now.

120
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,199
Speaker 1: Then then stop it.

121
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,279
Speaker 2: You want to killing me. We're only trying to help you,

122
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,920
I know, But you go on there. I was only

123
00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:58,000
trying to help yeah.

124
00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:03,319
Speaker 1: I know, telling me, telling you all right, Yeah, I

125
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:08,480
guess so, Okay, I was close.

126
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: I was too close. I heard you were in town.

127
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,120
I was afraid. You see, Ben, he gets.

128
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,279
Speaker 1: An idea of somebody's trying to do me harm. It's

129
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,199
hard to shake the idea out of it. Well, why

130
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,360
didn't you let him and finished the job? I might

131
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:24,360
have saved you some trouble. I don't see if there's

132
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,680
any trouble clean, Yes, there's going to be if you

133
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,879
don't leave Stanhope alone.

134
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: Me leave him alone.

135
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: That's right, you got things backwards? Why don't he leave

136
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:47,720
me alone?

137
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: You say, Stanhope is after you tell me about it.

138
00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:06,399
Speaker 1: When I came back, I made up my mind to

139
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,639
forget what had happened. I didn't expect any favors. I

140
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,879
just wanted to start from scratch. But with a fair shape.

141
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,679
You aren't getting a fair shake. I made this trip

142
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,039
into town to get supplies my ranch needs. I'm going

143
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,919
back tomorrow, my wagon as empty as it was when

144
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,879
I came. Now a merchant and hammerd will extend me credit.

145
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,759
The pressure has been put to him. Stanhope carries a

146
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:29,720
lot of weight around here.

147
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: Here.

148
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: What's it from Stanhope? Three thousand dollars? I don't get it,

149
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:46,960
I think I do. You're his conscience. You bother him

150
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:51,120
his conscience? Why the price tag on it? There's a

151
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:59,159
condition what you're to leave Hammond? How come Stanhope believes

152
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:00,679
you're going to kill him?

153
00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:02,759
Speaker 2: Or I thought about it. I was gonna make him

154
00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:03,639
pay for every.

155
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,039
Speaker 1: Rot and second huh?

156
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,799
Speaker 2: And now now he's just a sniffling, scared little man.

157
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,759
He's not going to prison for now.

158
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: I take his three thousand back to him. His conscience

159
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,399
is going to stick around and bother him for a

160
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:28,279
long time. The next morning I went to make my

161
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,639
report to will stun Move. There was a crowd gathered

162
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,039
in front of the Overland office. Debris littered the street.

163
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:38,279
The windows were broken, and the door was ripped off

164
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,480
its hinges. As I walked in, it sounded as though

165
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:43,039
somebody were tearing the face of Frot.

166
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: Somebody was then Stacy.

167
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,519
Speaker 1: Was on a ramp. Garriff stopping.

168
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: He's going crazy, Sheriff. I already hear to stop. Then

169
00:10:54,039 --> 00:11:02,840
don't cry. I don't you better get the cups on.

170
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: The shirt before it comes to Yeah, sure that boy

171
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,840
really went to local. He'd killed me.

172
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: What happened? Somebody told me? Then he'll be all right?

173
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: Sorry, Ed gonna have to lock him up then do this? Yeah.

174
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,840
Ben's a simple guy, easy going as a rule. Only

175
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,120
one thing sets him off. It's always been that way

176
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:31,200
ever since we were kids.

177
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:32,039
Speaker 2: Easy then.

178
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,759
Speaker 1: Don't like seeing anybody shove me, all right?

179
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: What started him off?

180
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,399
Speaker 1: Well? I gave him a letter, A letter was for you.

181
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:42,159
He read it and busted loose.

182
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,799
Speaker 2: What was in the letter?

183
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,039
Speaker 1: It was a delinquent tax notice on Ed's ranch. He's

184
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,840
threatening foreclosure for three thousand dollars. Taxes haven't been paid

185
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,559
for two years. You know why they weren't. Couldn't you

186
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,240
have waited? Routine business? Paladin I'll handle it my way.

187
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,080
You're handling. It's Stanhope's way. Everybody in town's handling thing, says.

188
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: Way, and I'm up to hear what. Therefore, I was.

189
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: Willing to forget that, Stand Hope, and this town cost

190
00:12:08,159 --> 00:12:10,399
me two years out of my life. I just wanted

191
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:11,399
a chance to start over.

192
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: But you won't let me. You're pushing me around.

193
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: Treat me like I was really at criminal. A man

194
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,200
can take you so much pushing around, Paladin, you're gonna

195
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,679
take my brother to jail. I have to do it

196
00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:27,679
all right, stand Hope. We'll play this your way from

197
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,039
now on. Since I've already put in two years for nothing,

198
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:37,879
I got something real big coming right out of your high. Yeah,

199
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,759
you heard him share if he fretted me, HI demand protection.

200
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:45,000
You'll get it when I say that you need it hand.

201
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:50,440
You didn't play straight with me. You didn't tell me

202
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,039
you were trying to crowd Stacy out. I gave you

203
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,840
that three thousand dollars for him after setting him up,

204
00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:58,679
so he'd have to take it and leave town or

205
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,360
lose everything. You could do it, Paladin, he would have

206
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,559
killed me. He didn't want any part of you. But

207
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,279
whatever happens from now, wan, you can blame yourself. Stand

208
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:31,279
Oh here your money, hire an army with it. I'd

209
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,440
had enough of hand without a voice. I was at

210
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,799
the Mercy of Willistan Hope stage and I had to

211
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,399
wait over. It was just before dawn when I was

212
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,440
awakened by the commotion outside on the street. I got

213
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,080
out of bed and opened the window.

214
00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:51,639
Speaker 2: Right ahead of off.

215
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Sure sure up up here? Yeah, what happens? Just plused

216
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,919
Ben Stacey out of jail?

217
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: Did that do? It was made with Dan and Floyd.

218
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,440
They worked for it. Oh, it's like that fixed them

219
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,200
for real trouble.

220
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,519
Speaker 1: He said that, sheruff. That's what the man can take.

221
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:27,240
Just so much pushing around. Morning, Sheriff, Morning, your men,

222
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:28,120
bring in Stacey.

223
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: Now clean, getaway.

224
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:33,919
Speaker 1: You're leaving on the stage, Yeah you know you'll be

225
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,759
sharing your seat with a shotgun rider.

226
00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: Shotgun guard riding inside with something new.

227
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:40,919
Speaker 1: Stan Hope's orders.

228
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: Oh the trap.

229
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,519
Speaker 1: He figures now that Ed and Ben Stacy will hit

230
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:47,639
one of the stages sooner or later. Wants it to

231
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:51,000
look easy for him. Mister stan Hope is a talent

232
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,720
for conniving. He wants to get him real bad. Even

233
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,159
offered a reward before they've done anything. Well, it says

234
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,759
for catching or killing anybody. I had to hold up

235
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:04,080
an overland stage. I guess we know what he means.

236
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:12,360
Three thousand dollars. At the three forth station, we had

237
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,480
a ten minute stop over to change teams. I went

238
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,440
inside to have a glass of rye. The place was

239
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,440
empty except for the bartender with his hands high and ed,

240
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:27,159
and Ben Stacy with their revolvers leveled. Don't try anythank Paladin,

241
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:30,519
using up your two years in a hurry.

242
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: You didn't figure them is anymore in a deposit? Why

243
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:35,159
waste them on me?

244
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:40,279
Speaker 1: Not you, Paladin. The stage, Dan Floyd are taking care

245
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:43,720
of it right now. I'm just making sure nobody bothers it. Hey,

246
00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:48,879
Ben watching the door back there? Sure you bartender, keep

247
00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:52,759
your hands up and your mouth shut, driving shut gunner out.

248
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:53,039
Speaker 2: Of the way.

249
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:57,159
Speaker 1: Stun hope you pegged he pegged me two years ago.

250
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,279
Do you ever hear the one about if you had

251
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,159
the name, you might as well play the game.

252
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:05,679
Speaker 2: You don't have the name yet. It won't be long now.

253
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: This time, there'll be no mistake about it. This time

254
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:12,000
you'll serve out your sentence. If they get me they'll

255
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,679
get you sooner or later. That's where I make stand

256
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,840
hope sweat.

257
00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: You're going to make a fugitive out of Ben too.

258
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,960
Why don't you shut up?

259
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,039
Speaker 1: Big simple Ben, who's only concerning life, is protecting you.

260
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,720
When a posse comes after you, do you figure him

261
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:30,240
to stop?

262
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:31,279
Speaker 2: The slug meant for you?

263
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Allen, you got a big mouth and you've got a

264
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,840
small brain, taking this risk for some stupid idea of revenge.

265
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,000
Revenge against the man who isn't worth it to begin

266
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:40,480
with it.

267
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,919
Speaker 2: Floyd and Dan they're coming. They got it. Let's go ahead.

268
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
We got a strong box. Put it back then? Why

269
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:51,559
put it back?

270
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,679
Speaker 1: I said, you got it crazy? You think we went

271
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,799
through this whole thing for nothing for the last time,

272
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,080
put it back and cut out. We'll cut up, but

273
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,200
we're taking the money with us.

274
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,039
Speaker 2: If Floyd.

275
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,559

there are those who might question you. See, there was

298
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,960
a little matter of convincing a certain bartender that he

299
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,799
didn't see what he thought he saw for a certain

300
00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:57,400
