Transcript

00:00My name's Sarah Rector. The state gave me 160 acres on account of my ancestors, and there's all on it.

00:10Well, how do you know that?

00:12God gave me the ears to hear it.

00:15Do you hear it, Blue?

00:17There's oceans down there!

00:23I got a road on my land, and I'm looking for a partner to help me drill it out.

00:27Bertson Byron Smith, at your service.

00:30I look for oil, and I drill for it.

00:33I was singing 50-50.

00:34We should have our lawyers meet.

00:36That's my lawyer, a Texas handshake. There ain't nothing more binding.

00:40We're in Oklahoma.

00:41It goes double for Okies.

00:43Here we go.

00:50What's the damage?

00:52Well, this might be the end of the road.

00:54Dude, get them so easy!

00:55What's your guess? Is he gonna do the right day?

00:57We shook hands.

00:58You may have to speak to him.

01:00I don't know what to say.

01:01God, I'll give you the words.

01:02We need money out of your...

01:04But how are we gonna get him?

01:07Hi, I'm Sarah, Bert's business partner.

01:10Has Bert properly presented our proposition, ma'am?

01:12You said y'all need to put in your thousand dollars?

01:14We need two thousand, and we need it today.

01:18It's a partnership.

01:19Got some real nice mud here.

01:22Hoping you might have tested first.

01:23I've never seen anything like it.

01:25That field you're sitting on could be the richest in all of Oklahoma.

01:33I'll give you 20 bucks an acre.

01:34I ain't selling!

01:35You want a war?

01:36You've taught me things about my soul.

01:42Ain't nobody ever done that for me.

01:44Ain't nobody ever cared.

01:48We're dealing with some mighty devious folks over there.

01:50Then you need to fight for what's ours.

01:52Is that why I see dynamite?

01:53That's my life!

01:55No, it ain't!

01:56I would not do that if I was in.

01:59You took the liberty of wiring up your wheels.

02:01Just in case you wanted to do something foolish.

02:04It's funny.

02:05When the land had only weeds and lizards, it was all mine.

02:07But when people found out there was oil lines, they started thinking it's theirs.

02:14All I'm asking is to keep what's mine.

02:17Her name is Sarah Rector, and you're gonna be hearing a lot about her.

02:20You know, I've grown kind of fond of the kid.

02:26That's called a knight.

02:27It can hop over your pieces?

02:28That's right.

02:29Look at you.

02:30You're learning.

02:31Just want to make sure before I take your train.

02:33Really?

02:35Nobody but you.
