00:00He's dead.
00:01Why didn't you see him?
00:02I saw a grave. I didn't open it.
00:05I think Mrs. Cummings lied to protect her benefactor.
00:09Benefactor?
00:10I found this at her place.
00:13What's an empty ghost say?
00:15Sunset Land Company.
00:17Turn it inside out.
00:26Sierra Land Company.
00:27Well, this must be one of the sacks from the stagecoach holder.
00:32It's my hunch that all the money loaned out by the Sunset Land Company came out of your pocket.
00:36But why would they...
00:37I've been doing some checking.
00:38I believe the marshal and I had better continue this discussion in private, Elizabeth.
00:42Very well, Paul.
00:46John Cummings and Jan Morell had adjacent claims.
00:51Cummings was found shot in the back.
00:54Morell disappeared.
00:54Both their titles have been taken over by your Sierra Land Company.
00:59Are you saying I came by my titles dishonestly?
01:02I'm not saying anything.
01:04Except that you won't find your gold until we find Morell.
01:07Now, we'll find that small-time road agent.
01:10We'll find him if we have to police every road and every trail.
01:12Well, I've got a better idea.
01:16What do you mean?
01:18Mr. Ainsworth, I want you to pay a visit to the Sunset Land Company.
01:23You want me to what?
01:24Pay a visit to the Sunset Land Company.
01:27We don't generally loan such a large amount, Mr. Ainsworth.
01:31Well, you're getting my entire estate as security.
01:33It's worth three times what I'm asking.
01:35No doubt, but I'll have to study this appraisal.
01:37Well, I need the money, but tomorrow with the latest.
01:39I'll get right to work on it, Mr. Ainsworth.
01:40Now, where are you at?
02:10Come on.
02:34Oh, my God.
03:04Hey, you ain't gonna give A's worth all this money, are you?
03:34Why not?
03:35Well, he'll send it straight to Monterey, keep California out of the Union.
03:40He'll send it, but it'll never get there.
03:41What do you mean?
03:43We'll let him keep that money just long enough to get a signature on the mortgage.
03:46Then we'll have Ainsworth right where we want him.
03:48He'll lose his lands when he can't pay the mortgage, just the same as he did to us.
03:51What's more important, California will become a state.
03:55The people will enforce the law, and Ainsworth will rot in jail.
03:59Yeah, you had me scared.
04:03There's a better chance it still isn't too late.
04:05If I can get to Monterey with enough gold before the convention starts voting,
04:09I know I can change the minds of at least four key men.
04:11If Henderson's right, you'll have the gold tomorrow.
04:13Father, the marshal wants to see you.
04:17I found their hideout.
04:19The clerk led me straight to it.
04:20Good, we'll start right now.
04:21No, it's no place to attack.
04:23Our best bet is to wait and hope Morrell brings the gold out.
04:26This time they won't get away.
04:28I want you to remember one thing, Mr. Ainsworth.
04:31We're taking him alive.
04:51That's Morrell in the lead, all right.
04:54Don't shoot.
04:55I want to take him alive.
04:56Let's spread out.
05:26They've got us in the pocket.
05:39We'll all be killed if we stay here.
05:45Let's try to get around behind them.
05:49I'll cover for you, Jim.
05:50No, Marty, it's too risky.
05:53I like taking risks.
05:54I like taking risks.
05:54I like taking risks.
05:55Ah!
06:14Ah!
06:14Ah!
06:14Ah!
06:16Ah!
06:18Ah!
06:18Ah!
06:19Ah!
06:21Well, he's getting away.
06:51Drive day and night, Sam.
06:55The gold must get to Monterey in time.
06:57We'll pull it off yet.
06:59Goodbye, my dear.
07:00Goodbye.
07:01Goodbye and good luck.
07:02All right, Pedro.
07:08Father, what's all this Monterey business?
07:10Why the big hurry?
07:11I don't know, Elizabeth.
07:11It's a private matter.
07:13You're wrong, Ainsworth.
07:15It's a public matter.
07:18Morale.
07:21Tell her how you got your lands.
07:26Your money, your gold mines.
07:27I don't know what you're talking about.
07:29If you've come for the gold, it's gone.
07:32It won't do you any good.
07:33You're going to put it all in writing, every dirty deal.
07:46Don't leave out how you're bribing delegates to keep California out of the Union.
07:49You're crazy.
07:50I don't know what you're saying.
07:53Sit down.
08:00Start writing.
08:01I, Thomas Ainsworth,
08:15got title to my claims
08:21by force and fraud.
08:23I don't understand.
08:24Even if this is true,
08:26what is it to you?
08:28You murdered my wife
08:29and my brother.
08:32Look out!
08:33You're under arrest.
08:48I don't know.
09:01Jan Morel,
09:28at the time that you are arraigned and ended your plea,
09:32you are not represented by counsel.
09:34I have been informed that Marshal Henderson has volunteered to represent you.
09:38As he is a member of the bar, the court has no objection.
09:43Does the prosecution have any?
09:45I have none.
09:46Then you may proceed.
09:52Your Honor,
09:54members of the jury,
