00:00:30THE END
00:01:00It is 1847, Old California, a land of hatred and violence.
00:01:11When General Santa Anna withdrew his forces before the crushing onslaught of the American
00:01:14Army, small bands of courageous Mexican soldiers still resisted in a valiant effort to save
00:01:21their land.

00:05:50Captain Miguel Sebastian.
00:05:51Tiger of San Luis.
00:05:53You know, I think our captain would much rather have died fighting.
00:05:57Ah!
00:05:58Almost did.
00:05:59Boyle!
00:06:00Yes, sir.
00:06:01Come here.
00:06:02Scout this place.
00:06:03There might be more men, Hold.
00:06:05Yes, sir.
00:06:06There's no need, Captain.
00:06:07All of my men have been...
00:06:08called it for.
00:06:09We can count them dead of our own.
00:06:10Captain!
00:06:11Captain!
00:06:12Captain!
00:06:13Captain!
00:06:14Don't shoot, please.
00:06:15He's my courier.
00:06:16Captain Sebastian!
00:06:17The war's over!
00:06:18Santa Ana has surrendered!
00:06:19All right, hop down, mister.
00:06:20Let's see that communication.
00:06:21Take care of him, Boyle.
00:06:22All right, sir.
00:06:23All right, sir.
00:06:24All right, sir.
00:06:25It's in San Ana's headquarters, all right.
00:06:26The war's over.
00:06:27Party?
00:06:28The party?
00:06:29No.
00:06:30No.
00:06:31No.
00:06:32No.
00:06:33No.
00:06:34No.
00:06:35No.
00:06:36No.
00:06:37No.
00:06:38No.
00:06:39No.
00:06:40No.
00:06:41No.

00:06:50No.
00:06:51No.
00:06:52No.
00:06:53Yes, sir.
00:06:55Take Sebastian and his courier inside.
00:06:58And remember, he's to stay alive.
00:07:02Scott?
00:07:03You and Boyle'll check our casualties.
00:07:05Boyle, man up.
00:07:06Yes, sir.
00:07:08Three years later, the Mexican soldiers, now poverty-stricken, homeless civilians, have
00:07:29been uprooted from their farms by the treachery of power-mad Angus Clive McCain.
00:07:34The land is mine! Mine! I keep it! Now go! You hear me? Go!
00:08:04That's enough, Pardee!
00:08:09I said that's enough, Pardee!
00:08:13I said that's enough, Pardee!
00:08:18Now settle down, both of you. We've got work to do.
00:08:22Not me. I've had enough of you, McCain.
00:08:24Scott!
00:08:26You quit me, don't you ever cross my path again!
00:08:29Don't you worry. One county's large enough for me, you can have all this land.
00:08:33But I just hope you're big enough to keep it, McCain.
00:08:36I said that's enough, Pardee!
00:08:39I said that's enough, Pardee!
00:08:41Now settle down, both of you. We've got work to do.
00:08:44Not me. I've had enough of you, McCain.
00:08:46Scott!
00:08:48I know you can have all this land. But I just hope you're big enough to keep it, McCain.
00:08:52You can, nothing. If anything has all other banks out there.
00:08:55You can go make a project and follow.
00:08:56That's not what we need to do.
00:08:58I've found those banks out here.
00:09:05Can you sonst any dot com?
00:09:07Here comes the marshal!
00:09:10Hey!
00:09:12Oh, no!
00:09:14What happened?
00:09:16You scared me?
00:09:18Well, I still never did.
00:09:18Well, I'm back to this house.
00:09:20Oh, here goes the marshal!
00:09:22Marshal, fire it out!
00:09:28Quiet!
00:09:29Quiet!
00:09:30Quiet!
00:09:31All of you, quiet!
00:09:32You get your face!
00:09:34Stand back with me, gentlemen!
00:09:35He's a man of the law!
00:09:45Judge Ward Young?
00:09:46That's right.
00:09:48And I guess you're Sheriff Miller?
00:09:50Oh, no, sir.
00:09:52Geezerin's the name.
00:09:54Mr. McCain fired Miller.
00:09:56Guess he took the job too serious or something.
00:09:58Me, I just stringled out.
00:10:00I'll wager you're firing Young, the marshal.
00:10:04This is a real distinction, son.
00:10:07Thank you, sir.
00:10:09We've come here to investigate some property cases.
00:10:12Well, we've got a bunch of them there disputes around here, Sheriff.
00:10:15Mr. Chairman, I want to hear each one of these cases individually.
00:10:20We'll post a docket as soon as possible to let you know when you'll appear in court.
00:10:25What's a docket, horse?
00:10:27A docket means tomorrow, horse.
00:10:31Now the moose!
00:10:32Skits, scat, all of you.
00:10:33Mucho, mucho.
00:10:34Skits!
00:10:36You gentlemen come right on up to my office.
00:10:39It ain't fancy, but it's legal.
00:10:41I'd like to talk to...
00:10:43Where do we have the gentlemen?
00:10:45Shut up!
00:10:46It's me, gentlemen.
00:10:47Don't forget to put a word into me, Mar.
00:10:49Go right in, gentlemen.
00:10:50Tell him about your mouth.
00:10:51He sure will tell him about all this.
00:10:53You're murdering me.
00:10:55Don't forget me, man.
00:10:56Don't forget me about my lap, Sheriff.
00:11:05Sheriff?
00:11:06Yes, Judge?
00:11:07These complaints cover a lot of territory.
00:11:10To begin with, who's this man, Angus McCain?
00:11:13Maybe I can explain it.
00:11:15Your Honor?
00:11:17Marshal.
00:11:26Pardee's the name.
00:11:28I'm Foreman, General Troubleshooter for Mr. McCain.
00:11:30He asked me to trot on over here and clear things up for you.
00:11:33Now, that's right nice of Mr. McCain.
00:11:36Why didn't he come?
00:11:37Oh, he had some important matters to take care of down on the South Range.
00:11:40But he accommodating, sort.
00:11:42Cattle's this main line.
00:11:44We had to push a trail through to Santa Fe.
00:11:47So naturally, the people who lived in the way just had to move out.
00:11:50Simple as that.
00:11:52Yep.
00:11:53But like I said, he's accommodating.
00:11:57Yeah, he gave all the farmers fair notice.
00:12:00What's more paid him to get.
00:12:02Mr. Pardee, you can't force people to sell their property.
00:12:09I'm trying to explain it to you, Judge.
00:12:11The people never owned it.
00:12:13McCain bought clear title to every inch of ground from here to Sunday.
00:12:17The Sebastian land grant?
00:12:19That's it.
00:12:20We'd like to see this deed.
00:12:23Sure.
00:12:24Anytime you want to take a look at it, mosey on out to the place.
00:12:26Thanks.
00:12:27We just might do that.
00:12:29Then again, we might just order you to bring it here to court.
00:12:37Judge.
00:12:38Try to get it through your head.
00:12:40There aren't any grounds.
00:12:41There won't be any trial.
00:12:43Take your hat off when you're talking to a judge.
00:12:46I beg your pardon.
00:12:47You heard me.
00:12:48Take the cigar out of me, Mal.
00:12:49I suppose you do it for me.
00:12:50I suppose you do it for me.
00:12:51I beg your pardon.
00:12:52You heard me.
00:12:57Take the cigar out of me, Mal.
00:12:58I suppose you do it for me.
00:12:59I suppose you do it for me.
00:13:29There's a man named Diego here who seems to know something about his property rights.
00:13:48For many years, I served Miguel Sebastian a long time back before the war.
00:13:56He was a kind man.
00:13:58He was my friend.
00:14:00He gave to me this land and this house that goes with it.
00:14:05I raised the crops.
00:14:07This is all I have.
00:14:09And no one is going to take it away from me.
00:14:12You have no deed or other written paper to prove that Sebastian gave you this land.
00:14:19No, but he did.
00:14:21I lived here for many years.
00:14:23And knowing that he gave it to me, I worked on it.
00:14:25Raised my children.
00:14:26McCain claims title under a sealed land grant.
00:14:29That is so.
00:14:30We have no papers.
00:14:32But Senor Sebastian wouldn't sell our home which he already gave to us.
00:14:36He was strict, I'm sure.
00:14:39We'll see what we can do.
00:14:41How long have you been living here claiming this property was yours?
00:14:45Ever since he gave it to me.
00:14:47Fifteen years ago.
00:14:48I think we ought to go over to McCain's and take a look at that deed.
00:14:52See if it's valid.
00:14:53Yes, sir.
00:14:54Senor.
00:15:07Make yourself a call, gentlemen.
00:15:09For my drink, Pardee.
00:15:11Gentlemen.
00:15:12No, thank you.
00:15:13No, thank you.
00:15:14Nice place you got here.
00:15:18I'd have brought this deed to town myself, Your Honor, if I hadn't been tied up.
00:15:25You can bet I wouldn't turn it over to anybody else.
00:15:27How did you meet Sebastian?
00:15:29Well, I want to tell you.
00:15:30It's a piece of luck.
00:15:31We ran on to him while on leave down at Matamoros.
00:15:34How about it, Pardee?
00:15:35Would you have taken him for a Mexican officer?
00:15:37No.
00:15:38I took him for a Don Juan out of Veracruz.
00:15:40He was drunk on a hoot owl, playing Pharaoh and losing bad.
00:15:43Signed to Angus Clyde McCain.
00:15:47Witnessed by Scott Johnson, Damon Pardee, and Timothy Boyle.
00:15:52Who's Boyle?
00:15:55That's me.
00:15:58Tell me, Mr. McCain, how much do you fellows pay for this deed?
00:16:01We picked up Sebastian's gambling debts.
00:16:03How much was that?
00:16:04All he owed.
00:16:07It was $850, to be exact, Judge.
00:16:09Took everything we had in our genes.
00:16:11How much did this Scott Johnson pitch in on the deal?
00:16:14Oh, $50 thereabouts, he'll remember.
00:16:16I'm sure he will.
00:16:19Where could we find him?
00:16:21Claytonville.
00:16:22Paper looks good.
00:16:26It beats me why a man would sell so much land for a bag of pennies.
00:16:30You boys made a better deal on the Louisiana Purchase.
00:16:39They're going to question Scott.
00:16:40Yeah.
00:16:41He don't even know what story we told him.
00:16:42You better get over there and tell him what to say.
00:16:43And what if he doesn't say it?
00:16:44He will.
00:16:45He will.
00:16:46He's starting to lose his spread the same as we do.
00:16:47Yeah, but Scott didn't like this thing from the start.
00:16:49Boyle's right.
00:16:50But if we need a club, Scott's got a mighty nice little wife to worry about.
00:16:53Yeah.
00:16:54Better get to riding, party.
00:17:15Hey, cowboy.
00:17:16You sure built this place up.
00:17:17Still a lot to be done around here.
00:17:18Yeah, sometimes I think you were smarter than the rest of us.
00:17:22You settle down to enjoy life.
00:17:23McCain keeps us on a push so much.
00:17:25Honey, why'd you come over here?
00:17:27The circuit judge and the marshal are checking up on our land grant.
00:17:32Oh, I heard.
00:17:33They'll be coming out here.
00:17:34That figures.
00:17:35Scott.
00:17:36Yes, honey.
00:17:37Lunch is ready.
00:17:38In a second.
00:17:39Lovely little woman.
00:17:41It's a fancy little girl.
00:17:43Oh, come on.
00:17:45It's a lovely little girl.
00:17:46Yeah, how would you have to go?
00:17:47I'm sorry.
00:17:48Well, I'm sorry.
00:17:49You're going to go now.
00:17:50I'm sorry.
00:17:51What is it?
00:17:52I'm sorry.
00:17:53I'm sorry.
00:17:54You're not sorry.
00:17:55I'm sorry.
00:17:56You're sorry.
00:17:57I'm sorry.
00:17:58You're sorry.
00:17:59But you're sorry.
00:18:00I'm sorry.
00:18:01Yes, honey, lunch is ready in a second
00:18:07Lovely little woman
00:18:14You'll tell his honor that we picked up Sebastian's gambling debts about eight hundred and fifty dollars worth while we were on leave in that a morse
00:18:23It's good a yarn is that he?
00:18:25They what I'll do party I'll make a deal with you
00:18:27I'll go along with your story providing McCain gives the land back to the people. He kicked out
00:18:32You're in no position to bargain prepared to lose my land never thought it was mine anyway
00:18:38How you feel is no concern of ours?
00:18:40Well, I've had something on my chest for a long time. I'd like to get it off
00:18:44McCain had no right to kick these people off the land. He could have rode these cattle trail along the ridge
00:18:49We're not interested in driving our cattle 40 miles around some fenced-in hog pens because they're blocking the valley
00:18:56Besides you've got a lot more to lose than just your land
00:19:02What do you mean?
00:19:10You're crazy
00:19:12You're out of your mind
00:19:26Don't forget our story
00:19:31Don't forget our story
00:19:38So that's the whole story
00:19:40We extorted the land from Sebastian by threatening his life. I was against it but McCain held a gun on me
00:19:46So by being yellow, I was a part of his plan
00:19:51Mr. Johnson telling us isn't enough
00:19:54You've got to tell it in court
00:19:56I can't
00:19:59Why not? I can't explain now
00:20:01Honey, I'm proud of you for admitting what you have. I think you should testify
00:20:05I said no, Julie
00:20:07Judge, can I put it in writing a deposition?
00:20:11McCain's attorney could accuse us of extracting it from you by force
00:20:14Your story involves too much land, too many people. It ought to be heard in public
00:20:19What are you afraid of Scott?
00:20:21If he told you that his mind's made up, you should have brought him here
00:20:24Or gunned him on the spot
00:20:25I did just like you told me
00:20:27Tell the boys to saddle up. We're riding to Scott's place. Come on
00:20:31Judge, they threatened to go after my wife
00:20:43I figured something like that
00:20:45We'll protect her
00:20:47But there's only two of you
00:20:49We can deputize the county if necessary
00:20:52Deputize the county?
00:20:54McCain owns the county. He's got power. He'll stop at nothing
00:20:57Judge, all I'm asking is time to get Julie out of town
00:21:00They don't come back and testify and do anything you want
00:21:03Scott, leaving this town is a dead giveaway of what you aim to do
00:21:06McCain's men would hunt you down
00:21:14Scott, Bryce, just go over the hill. We'll pull up and walk
00:21:16I think you'd better come with us. Both of you. I'll get out a bench warrant for McCain's arrest
00:21:28And have him try by sundown
00:21:30McCain in jail
00:21:32You wouldn't have anybody to worry about hurting your wife
00:21:35So that's it
00:21:37Darling, you've wanted to tell the truth all along
00:21:40But you thought it was easier and safer to put it off
00:21:43Now is the time to face McCain
00:21:45Face him in court
00:21:47Don't be afraid to go down there
00:21:49Because I'm not afraid to go down there with you
00:21:59Hold it
00:22:04I want this place covered from all sides
00:22:06Spread out
00:22:07Joe, Bert, Hardy, stay with me
00:22:09Hardy, stay with me
00:22:21Get down, Joe
00:22:34Tell the boys to wait until I fire. We'll catch him in the open
00:22:36Wait until McCain fires
00:22:38All right
00:22:39Wait for McCain to fire
00:22:41All right
00:22:42Wait for McCain to fire
00:22:45All right
00:22:46Wait for McCain to fire
00:22:47All right, thank you
00:23:06All right, let's get out of here.
00:23:19I'll stay in cover.
00:23:24Go closer.
00:23:29Keep riding across the river.
00:23:36After them, boys.
00:23:50Get out.
00:23:52Don't let them cross the river.
00:24:03Cut.
00:24:06Get out.
00:24:36Nobody in sight.
00:24:53You check upstream, I'll check down.
00:25:06I'll check you out.
00:25:36I guess I won't be able to testify for you after all.
00:25:59Don't say that, Steve.
00:26:00You're going to be all right, son.
00:26:03Judge.
00:26:06McGill-Sebastian, find him.
00:26:11He's delirious.
00:26:12Sebastian's dead.
00:26:14McGill-Sebastian is alive.
00:26:18Diego told me.
00:26:20Son, do you realize what you're saying?
00:26:25McGill-Sebastian was with Diego not more than eight months ago.
00:26:30You just don't understand.
00:26:41Scott wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
00:26:43Now, now.
00:26:44I forced him.
00:26:45I drove him to it.
00:26:47The doctor says he's going to be all right, Julie.
00:26:49It'll just take time.
00:26:51You've made a man of him.
00:26:52A dead man, maybe.
00:26:57He's going to live, Julie.
00:26:59And the price you've both paid is small for what lies ahead.
00:27:05Maybe you're right, Judge.
00:27:07Maybe.
00:27:08I tell you, I'm going to bring McCain in.
00:27:11I tell you, son, you had no way to go out there with less than an army.
00:27:14If you want to do something practical, why don't you try and find Sebastian?
00:27:18Oh, that's sensible.
00:27:19Maybe Diego can put you on his trail.
00:27:20Oh, that's smart.
00:27:23All right.
00:27:25I'll look for Sebastian.
00:27:26Oh, son, that's very wise.
00:27:29The doc's taking good care of Scott, Julie.
00:27:32I wouldn't worry about him.
00:27:34See you later, Dad.
00:27:36You too, Pop.
00:27:38Bye, son.
00:27:43I hope nothing happens to that boy.
00:27:46He's so nice.
00:27:50Don't bother, Diego.
00:28:14Hey, Diego.
00:28:19Where's the senora?
00:28:21She'll ride into town.
00:28:23Well, that's good.
00:28:24Then he's alone.
00:28:25We want some quick information.
00:28:26Where's Miguel Sebastian?
00:28:28Sebastian?
00:28:29I have not seen him since...
00:28:31I mean, he's dead.
00:28:32He died at the close of the wall.
00:28:33I can lie better than that when I'm loaded.
00:28:36Look, Sebastian isn't dead and we know it.
00:28:39Now, where is he?
00:28:39You better tell us some chronicles.
00:28:42McCain's authorized us to make a deal.
00:28:44You can have title to this land if you tell us.
00:28:46Why do you want to find senor Sebastian?
00:28:52Look, if you don't tell us, we're going to find him anyway.
00:28:54Now, where is he?
00:28:55No, don't.
00:29:06Oh.
00:29:06Help!
00:29:10You didn't have to do that party.
00:29:12You want him to tell everybody else how to find Sebastian?
00:29:14You want him to tell everybody else how to find Sebastian?
00:29:36I'm sorry, senora.
00:29:50Sorry.
00:29:52But he meant...
00:29:53They have gone to La Cresta...
00:29:55in search of senor Sebastian.
00:30:00Gracias.
00:30:06Hold it.
00:30:34Hold it.
00:30:35We're gonna take the short way. Through Comanche territory?
00:30:39There's Indians. Everywhere beside this was fast. Come on.
00:30:56Let's go to the top.
00:31:05Let's go.
00:31:28Yeah, that's the marshal's horse, all right?
00:31:31Here's a good spot to take care of him.
00:31:35Let's go.
00:31:59Well, we don't have to worry about the marshal.
00:32:01About an hour his scalp could be hanging from a Comanche war belt.
00:32:04Well, that's a fancy war belt.
00:32:05Well, that's a fancy war belt.
00:32:07Come on.
00:32:10He can is over here.
00:32:12It's a new man was obrigado.
00:32:13And I'm, like, never been in trouble.
00:32:15There was a family back there.
00:32:17But I didn't start hard with it.
00:32:19Well, thank you.
00:32:21You kind of got a secret坐 on my chin.
00:32:22If I was out there!
00:32:24Soon, I'm so sorry.
00:32:25I'll not have to be in trouble.
00:32:26Let's go.
00:32:56Let's go.

00:36:20U.S. Deputy Marshal.
00:36:21You got a doctor in this town?
00:36:22No, senor.
00:36:23The padre, he takes care of the sick.
00:36:25Get him for me, will you?
00:36:27Si, senor.
00:36:28Melissa.
00:36:29Si, senor.
00:36:30Has a stranger written in this town the last couple of hours?
00:36:32No, senor, no one.
00:36:34Okay.
00:36:50I'm looking for someone. Maybe you can help me.
00:36:52His name is Sebastian. Miguel Sebastian.
00:36:55I'm anxious to find him.
00:37:02In Mexico, Sebastian is a very common name, senor.
00:37:05It's nothing to me.
00:37:06Please, senor, I would like to talk to you about...
00:37:09Let's go!
00:37:10Get out of here!
00:37:11Get out of here!
00:37:12Get out of here!
00:37:13Get out of here!
00:37:14Get out of here!
00:37:15Get out of here!
00:37:17Pepe, how old are there in the American people looking for Miguel Sebastian?
00:37:22Get out of here!
00:37:23Get out of here!
00:37:24Get out of here!
00:37:25Get out of here!
00:37:26Get out of here!
00:37:27Get out of here!
00:37:37Father, could I speak to you?
00:37:39Later, Pepe. The father is busy now, eh?
00:37:41Let's go, Father.
00:37:52You are looking for Miguel Sebastian, senor?
00:38:05That's right.
00:38:07You pay Pepe?
00:38:09You pay good?
00:38:10Sure.
00:38:11Have a seat.
00:38:13I've thawed you a hundred pounds.
00:38:14That's all right.
00:38:15He's with me.
00:38:16Bring a bottle.
00:38:17But, senor, I...
00:38:18I'll see you right away.
00:38:19Oh.
00:38:20Oh.
00:38:21Oh.
00:38:22Oh.
00:38:23Oh.
00:38:24Oh.

00:38:28Oh.
00:38:29Oh.
00:38:30Oh.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:32Oh.
00:38:33Oh.
00:38:34Oh.
00:38:35Oh.

00:38:40Oh.
00:38:41Oh.
00:38:42Oh.
00:38:43Oh.
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:45Oh.
00:39:06The man is seriously wounded.
00:39:09You found him alongside the trail?
00:39:11Or you...
00:39:12Oh.
00:39:13Oh.
00:39:14That's not what you're thinking, Padre.
00:39:15I'm a peace officer for my government.
00:39:17This man and two others were riding into your town to kill a man.
00:39:20Miguel Sebastian.
00:39:21Miguel Sebastian.
00:39:22Where is he?
00:39:23Where is he?
00:39:24Well, you...
00:39:25You see, senora.
00:39:26Where is he, Pepe?
00:39:27I...
00:39:28Perhaps the man that I know and the one you're looking for, not the same one.
00:39:32Look, Pepe.
00:39:33If you thought someone was going to try to kill Sebastian, would you want to help him?
00:39:46Si.
00:39:47Si.
00:39:48Si.
00:39:49Someone is going to try to kill him.
00:39:50I'm here to warn him.
00:39:51Well, who would want to kill him?
00:39:52A man who was in the Mexican war with him.
00:39:53He's on his way to Las Cresta.
00:39:54For all I know, he may be here now.
00:39:55And that's why he was with the policΓ­a.
00:39:59Come, senor.
00:40:00I will take you to Miguel Sebastian now.
00:40:01We must warn him.
00:40:02He's just down the street.
00:40:03Where?
00:40:04At the office of the policΓ­a.
00:40:05Good.
00:40:06Here.
00:40:07Buy yourself a bottle.
00:40:08I'll warn Sebastian.
00:40:09And that's why he was with the policΓ­a.
00:40:11Come, senor.
00:40:12I will take you to Miguel Sebastian now.
00:40:13We must warn him.
00:40:14He's just down the street.
00:40:15Where?
00:40:16At the office of the policΓ­a.
00:40:17Good.
00:40:18Here.
00:40:19Buy yourself a bottle.
00:40:20I'll warn Sebastian.
00:40:21Senor.
00:40:22I told you to buy yourself a bottle, not gift.
00:40:23No.
00:40:24Our friend, he's over there.
00:40:25I know.
00:40:26But you tell me his life is in danger, that someone's going to kill him.
00:40:32You.
00:40:33You're going to kill him.
00:40:34Get back on the cantine.
00:40:35Look.
00:40:36Get back in the cantine.
00:40:37There's going to be a double killing.
00:40:41You.
00:40:42I told you to buy yourself a bottle, not gift.
00:40:44No.
00:40:45I'll find him.
00:40:46I know.
00:40:47But you tell me his life is in danger.
00:40:48Someone's going to kill him.
00:40:49You.
00:40:50You're going to kill him.
00:40:51Get back in the cantine.
00:40:52But.
00:40:53Get back in the cantine or there's going to be a double killing.
00:40:54Marshal?
00:40:55What is the villain?
00:40:56The Padre.
00:40:57He's Miguel SebastiΓ‘n.
00:41:01He's going to show you how he should be.
00:41:05What happens when he comes to the neighboring?
00:41:09Marshal?
00:41:12What is the villain?
00:41:13The Padre.
00:41:16He's Miguel SebastiΓ‘n.
00:41:31By the way! By the way!
00:42:31Let's get a move on, Duffy.
00:42:49Won't get on but a night.
00:42:53Well, well, well.
00:42:55Telling his honor the judge.
00:42:57McCain won't have to stand trial now.
00:43:01Yeah, now we can shoot the judge for trespassing.
00:43:05Yeah, now we can shoot the judge for trespassing.
00:43:17Well, well, Judge.
00:43:27Well, well, Judge.
00:43:28A cup of coffee?
00:43:29Thank you, McCain.
00:43:30Sit down.
00:43:31Sit down.
00:43:32Watch it.
00:43:33It's hot.
00:43:34Now we can't.
00:43:35How's it going?
00:43:36Woo-hoo!
00:43:37Yeah, but we can't.
00:43:42We can't do that.
00:43:43Well, well, Judge.
00:43:44A cup of coffee?
00:43:46Thank you, McCain.
00:43:47Sit down, sit down.
00:43:50Watch it, it's hot.
00:43:57How's Scott?
00:44:05Coming along.
00:44:08You've got to learn to shoot better.
00:44:10Now, now, Judge, give credit where credit's due.
00:44:13Bunch of cattle thieves shot old Scott.
00:44:15Same bunch shot Diego.
00:44:18That's not what his widow says.
00:44:21You know, Judge, you can't always believe old ladies.
00:44:23Well, we'll leave all those lesser charges till later.
00:44:28Right now, your big stake is the Sebastian land grant.
00:44:32I think you're gonna lose it.
00:44:33Judge, it's Scott's word against mine.
00:44:37Now, who do you think the jury's gonna believe?
00:44:40I think they're gonna believe Senor Miguel Sebastian.
00:44:44What do you mean, a man died in combat?
00:44:47Why, I got a special dispatch from my son, the marshal,
00:44:51and he tells me that he's escorting Senor Sebastian here.
00:44:59He also says the men you sent to kill Sebastian are all dead and taken care of.
00:45:10Mr. McCain, here's a subpoena for you to appear in court.
00:45:1310 a.m. tomorrow.
00:45:21I wonder when the marshal's due in, boys.
00:45:33I wonder when the marshal's due in, boys.
00:45:51No, my son, my son.
00:45:52I want to be with you.
00:45:53That's true.
00:45:54I'm pretty sure the man of his own eyes was of my sister.
00:45:55Mr. McCain has taken it all.
00:45:57The man of his own eyes and he has taken it all.
00:45:58Oh, my son!
00:45:59Mr. McCain has taken it all by him.
00:46:00Crown is not a goodsonian to tell you.
00:46:01No, my son.
00:46:03He's not a bad witch.
00:46:04No, my son.
00:46:05He's not a bad witch.
00:46:06Oh, my son.
00:46:07The fairnest thing.
00:46:08I've got no idea what you've ever seen.
00:46:09He'll go.
00:46:10The fairnest thing.
00:46:11The fairnest thing is not a bad witch.
00:46:12You need a man of his own men.
00:46:14I know this country.
00:46:15I found it every day.
00:46:16Marshal! There are too many for us. I know this country. Follow me!
00:46:21Follow me. We'll go underground for a wave.
00:46:51I'll go underground for a long time.
00:46:58I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:06I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:11I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:18I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:23I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:27I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:34I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:39I'll go underground for a long time.
00:47:43I'll go underground for a long time.
00:48:01Andre!
00:48:02Tell me, if you knew the way in here, isn't it possible that someone else might know it
00:48:15too?
00:48:16Yes, possible.
00:48:31Let's round up the horses.
00:48:56Well, where are the rest of the boys?
00:49:05Sebastian and the marshal got through us.
00:49:07Opie and me got back.
00:49:08He's hurt pretty bad, though.
00:49:09The rest of the men were killed.
00:49:10Look, McCain, there's no stopping that trial.
00:49:12We've got to think about scrutin'.
00:49:13Look.
00:49:14I don't run from nobody.
00:49:15You understand?
00:49:16I'm going to teach the law not to stick their nose in my bailiwick.
00:49:20I want you and the boys to round up the cattle.
00:49:22Now?
00:49:23Right now!
00:49:24I want that herd moved to that grazing strip above town.
00:49:27You can make it by dawn.
00:49:28And I want you to get every fence rider and waddy in town that can shoot.
00:49:33I'll use the cattle as a cover-up and then stampede them through the streets.
00:49:36And we'll gun down every man in that courtroom.
00:49:39Now get going!
00:49:41This land is mine.
00:49:50I've built it and I'm going to keep it.
00:49:53I'm going into that court.
00:49:55I don't think they'll get a jury.
00:49:58But if they do, I doubt if they've got guts enough to find against me.
00:50:05If they do, they'll never make the verdict stick.
00:50:08If they'll never arrest me, they're going to have to fight.
00:50:13But I'm going to need your help and I'm going to cut you in.
00:50:17Oh, man.
00:50:19Get your own spread.
00:50:21You've got the piece you want him and it's yours.
00:50:24That's right.
00:50:25Tex, you've got the sheep land.
00:50:27Hardy, you've got the stretch across the dry lake.
00:50:30That's right, man.
00:50:31I like it.
00:50:32The ridge.
00:50:33Who wants a timber?
00:50:34I'll take it.
00:50:35It's yours.
00:50:36You can take any piece of ground you want and I won't haggle.
00:50:43But I want you with me.
00:50:46And if we have to gun our way out of town, we're going to do it.
00:50:49We'll be there.
00:50:50Boy, we'll be right in the back.
00:50:52But from then on out, we'll make our own laws.
00:50:55This country's mine, all mine.
00:51:00We'll draw a circle around it and let America go on past us.
00:51:04Are you with me?
00:51:05Yeah!
00:51:34I'm sorry we ain't been able to build a proper courthouse, Your Honor.
00:51:35Sheriff, court is held wherever I lift my gavel.
00:51:39Morning, Julie.
00:51:40Good morning, Judge.
00:51:41How's your husband?
00:51:42He's better.
00:51:43But the doctor says he won't be able to testify.
00:51:44Won't be necessary now.
00:51:45Hey!
00:51:46Here comes Barry and Sebastian!
00:51:48held wherever I lift my gavel.
00:51:53Morning, Julie.
00:51:54Good morning, Judge.
00:51:56How's your husband?
00:51:57He's better.
00:51:58But the doctor says he won't be able to testify.
00:52:00Won't be necessary now.
00:52:02Hey, here comes Barry and Sebastian!
00:52:04Hey!
00:52:06It's Sebastian!
00:52:08It's Sebastian!
00:52:10It's Sebastian!
00:52:12It's Sebastian!
00:52:14It's Sebastian!
00:52:16It's Sebastian!
00:52:17Hey!
00:52:18Hey!
00:52:19Hey!
00:52:20Hey!
00:52:21Hey!
00:52:22Hey!
00:52:23Hey!
00:52:24Hey!
00:52:25Hey!
00:52:26Hey!
00:52:27Hey!
00:52:28Hey!
00:52:29Hey!
00:52:30Hey!
00:52:31Hey!
00:52:32Hey!
00:52:33Hey!
00:52:34Hey!
00:52:35Hey!
00:52:36Hey!
00:52:37Hey!
00:52:38Hello, son.
00:52:39Hiya, Dad.
00:52:40Meet Padre Sebastian.
00:52:42It's a pleasure, father.
00:52:43Your honor.
00:52:44I'm counting on you to pull a few chestnuts out of the fire for me today.
00:52:47I hope my presence here will be of some help.
00:52:50The important thing is you're alive and here.
00:52:53That is thanks to your son.
00:52:54Have a chair.
00:53:14Let's go.
00:53:44Sen. McCain, it has been many years.
00:53:52Judge, I'm a busy man, and I don't like the idle time away.
00:53:55Let's get on with the trial.
00:53:57As soon as this show is over, there'll be drinks for everybody.
00:54:00On me.
00:54:02Get out.
00:54:14Quiet. Quiet.
00:54:20I want order in the court.
00:54:22Will the gentlemen please be kind enough to remove their hats?
00:54:32Mr. McCain.
00:54:36Your hat.
00:54:44This court is now in session to hear the case of the People versus Angus Clyde McCain.
00:54:52Also, Timothy Boyle deceased, Damon Pardee deceased, and Scott Johnson incapacitated.
00:55:01The charges, extortion, bribery, fraud, land theft, invasion of property rights, attempted murder, and murder.
00:55:09Huight!
00:55:15Huight!
00:55:17Huight!
00:55:18Huight!
00:55:19Huight!
00:55:20Huight!
00:55:21Huight!
00:55:22Huight!
00:55:26Huight!
00:55:28Huight!
00:55:30Huight!
00:55:31Guilty or not guilty as charged?
00:55:33Not guilty.
00:55:34And I defy the man to find me guilty.
00:55:38Any killings that I might have done were done in self-defense to protect my property rights.
00:55:43And any killings done by any man on my payroll was their own doings.
00:55:48And for that, I can't be held responsible.
00:56:08Hey, hey, hey!
00:56:38Hey!
00:56:42Father Sebastian, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
00:56:47I will answer what I can, Your Honor.
00:56:49Do you recognize the defendant?
00:56:56I do.
00:56:58How did you meet?
00:56:59In a battle at the close of the Mexican War.
00:57:03We were told that you met in a gambling hall in Matamoros.
00:57:07I have never been in Matamoros.
00:57:09Did the defendant McCain pay you for the title of the Sebastian Land Grant?
00:57:21In a way, he did.
00:57:24Would you say maybe $850?
00:57:28Considerably more.
00:57:29Exactly how much in dollars and cents.
00:57:32How can a man evaluate his life in dollars and cents?
00:57:37My story begins the day Santa Anna surrendered.
00:57:41It was a sad day.
00:57:43In the battle at my hacienda, my compadres had all been killed by Captain McCain and his men.
00:57:50My courier and I were the only ones left.
00:57:53We went upstairs with the captain.
00:57:55I thought to talk terms of the peace.
00:57:59Well, there's the end to it.
00:58:00I'm glad to see it.
00:58:05We've been a part of much killing, Captain.
00:58:06From this time on, I intend to do something with my life.
00:58:07Oh?
00:58:08I'm glad to see it.
00:58:09We've been a part of much killing, Captain.
00:58:10From this time on, I intend to do something with my life.
00:58:13Oh?
00:58:14In what way?
00:58:15I'm not yet sure.
00:58:16That I shall renounce the life I have led.
00:58:20I will try to make amends.
00:58:25The trouble is, Captain, you're not going to live that long.
00:58:26I don't know the truth.
00:58:27I don't know the truth.
00:58:28I don't know the truth.
00:58:29I don't know the truth.
00:58:30I don't know the truth.
00:58:31I don't know the truth.
00:58:32I see it.
00:58:33We've been a part of much killing, Captain.
00:58:34We've been a part of much killing, Captain.
00:58:35From this time on, I intend to do something with my life.
00:58:36Oh?
00:58:37In what way?
00:58:38I'm not yet sure.
00:58:39That I shall renounce the life I have led.
00:58:43I will try to make amends.
00:58:48The trouble is, Captain, you're not going to live that long.
00:58:54I don't understand.
00:58:55The war has ended.
00:58:57I know.
00:59:00But you've been branded as a traitor.
00:59:03By whom?
00:59:04By the United States government.
00:59:06Well, that's impossible.
00:59:07I'm a Mexican soldier.
00:59:09I fully realize that.
00:59:11But you declared this Hacienda and all your land grant as neutral territory.
00:59:15You were given military sanctuary as though you were an American citizen.
00:59:20And what did you do?
00:59:22You fortified this place.
00:59:24Set yourself up as a guerrilla chief.
00:59:26Raided our supply lines and engaged in espionage.
00:59:28After your troops invaded my land.
00:59:31You violated the agreement with your country.
00:59:33I did these things rightfully as a soldier.
00:59:34Right.
00:59:37It doesn't do any good to plead your case to me.
00:59:39I'm just a man who's going to take you back to be shot.
00:59:47Unless, of course, you want to make a deal.
00:59:50Who's that?
00:59:51You can swap the Sebastian land grant for your life.
01:00:04All you've got to do is sign the deed and we'll turn you loose.
01:00:06You can go any place you want.
01:00:07Right, Pardee?
01:00:08That's right, Captain.
01:00:09Rodriguez to the chest.
01:00:10Si, Capitano.
01:00:12Call the boys.
01:00:13Yes, sir.
01:00:14Lieutenant Johnson!
01:00:15Poyle!
01:00:16The captain wants to see you!
01:00:17Lieutenant Johnson!
01:00:18Poyle!
01:00:19The captain wants to see you!
01:00:20TIP!
01:00:23Please don't leave it, Captain.
01:00:26No, not too much!
01:00:27We're going.
01:00:28Lady, it's a big trooper!
01:00:29It's almost too low to the chest.
01:00:30It's you, Capitano.
01:00:31Call the boys.
01:00:32Yes, sir.
01:00:33Lieutenant Johnson!
01:00:35Poyle!
01:00:36The captain wants to see you!
01:00:44Very handsome box, that family crest.
01:00:48Yes.
01:00:50The Sebastian came from Granada, in the time of Cortes.
01:00:57This encomienda, this land grant, of which we speak,
01:01:05This encomienda, this land grant, of which we speak,
01:01:10granted to my family by Philip, King of Spain.
01:01:16Sergeant, what's this all about?
01:01:18You're going to get rich.
01:01:20What does it amount to? A couple of hundred acres?
01:01:22A couple of hundred.
01:01:25This says west from the Pecos to the Rio Grande.
01:01:29And north from Chihuahua to Santa Fe.
01:01:33Why, nobody owns that much land.
01:01:36This document's official. It's recorded here.
01:01:39And you'll sign it over to us if we let you go loose?
01:01:42That is what we discussed.
01:01:44What if he has brothers or relatives, somebody to challenge it?
01:01:47I am the last of my family.
01:01:50Captain, you're under orders to take this man back.
01:01:52So, we report him killed in action.
01:01:55It won't work.
01:01:56It will if everybody keeps his mouth shut.
01:01:59Captain, you're using Uncle Sam's uniform to extort property.
01:02:01We volunteered for duration of conflict. Our duty's done.
01:02:05Senor, predate that back to last year.
01:02:09Just in case anybody inquires as to when and under what circumstances we acquired it.
01:02:13Of course, Captain.
01:02:15What is your full name?
01:02:17Angus Clyde McCain.
01:02:18Captain, this is collaboration with the enemy.
01:02:21We're not discharged yet.
01:02:23Scott, all you've got to do is witness this signature.
01:02:26I'm sorry, sir. I'm under military orders.
01:02:29Lieutenant Johnson, this is a good soldier who's going to be shot if we take him back.
01:02:32So, we're going to let him live.
01:02:36Now, you either sign this deed, or you're going to be listed as one of our casualties.
01:02:42Arty.
01:03:03Me.
01:03:09Boyle?
01:03:31Senora, you and your man can shed those uniforms.
01:03:33You can pack whatever equipment you need.
01:03:44Captain, some of the people who live on this land
01:03:48have served my family for many years.
01:03:51I have given them the small farms which they worked.
01:03:54They will be permitted to remain.
01:03:57They'll be treated fairly.
01:03:58Gracias.
01:03:59I'm sure they will.
01:04:01Where are you heading for?
01:04:04You know, there are so many forgotten places.
01:04:11Good luck, senors.
01:04:13Thank you for another life.
01:04:15Adios.
01:04:16Hermanos.
01:04:28Hermanos.
01:04:33Hardy.
01:04:35Yes, sir.
01:04:37Yes, sir, right on ahead of the post and send us a burial detail.
01:05:07Let's go.
01:05:37The sergeant left me there for dead.
01:05:44It was God's will to keep me alive.
01:05:53The sergeant left me there for dead.
01:05:56It was God's will to keep me alive.
01:06:07Father, are you telling this court that the defendant McCain forced you to trade your life for your land?
01:06:19We made a bargain.
01:06:22And I thought he meant to keep it.
01:06:25In your opinion, was this transfer of land legal?
01:06:28The transfer?
01:06:30The transfer was legal.
01:06:37Father, the fact that you're alive is prima facie evidence that the defendant McCain altered military records.
01:06:44We're here to question my ownership of land, not my military background.
01:06:48They're tied together in this case.
01:06:50Were you a captain in the Mexican Army?
01:06:52I was.
01:06:53Were you a captain in the U.S. Cavalry?
01:06:55That's right. The Fifth.
01:06:57There's no further need to question any witnesses.
01:07:00A matter of jurisdiction is involved.
01:07:02The jury is dismissed.
01:07:04I'm not standing trial without a jury.
01:07:06You're not dismissed, McCain.
01:07:08Sit down.
01:07:09Hey!
01:07:18Hey!
01:07:29Uh...
01:07:31Uh...
01:07:32Oh, God.
01:07:33Sorry, McCain.
01:07:34All right, order in the court.
01:07:49The laws of this country clearly state
01:07:51that no United States soldier can bargain
01:07:54with the enemy in wartime.
01:07:56Therefore, the defendant, Angus McCain,
01:07:59never legally acquired title of the Sebastian Land Grant.
01:08:02It is still in the possession of the good father, Sebastian,
01:08:06and he can do it as he wishes.
01:08:11Angus McCain, I hereby remand you
01:08:14to the custody of the United States Marshal
01:08:16for a transfer to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
01:08:20where you will stand trial under military court marshal
01:08:23on charges of collaboration with the enemy and high treason.
01:08:27So found this day in court and recorded.
01:08:32We are taking a look at that...
01:08:38Libby!
01:08:41Libby! Libby!
01:08:44Libby! Libby!
01:08:46Libby! Libby!
01:08:48Get out of the straightforward!
01:08:49Come on, Lonnie!
01:08:52Come on, Lonnie!
01:08:54Come on!
01:08:59We have safety, everyone.
01:09:01Gotta get back.
01:09:02Hold the wall there.
01:09:03All right, no doubt.
01:09:05Get down on alley.
01:09:07Lonnie!
01:09:08Lonnie!
01:09:09Lonnie!
01:09:10Help me!
01:09:18Help me!
01:09:40Let's go!
01:09:55Baudry!
01:09:58I guess you, I guess you can't herd cattle the way you do people.
01:10:18I lose more hearts that way.
01:10:29McCain's dead. Let's get out of here.
01:10:32McCain's dead.
01:10:33Killed by his own stampede.
01:10:34McCain's dead. Killed by his own stampede.
01:10:49Well, I guess it settles his claim.
01:11:03I'm happy you have your land back again, Father.
01:11:06No, my child. The land belongs to the people who live on it.
01:11:09I'm happy you have your land back again, father.
01:11:12No, my child.
01:11:14The land belongs to the people who live on it.
01:11:17And with your help, this time we won't make it legal.
01:11:39The land belongs to the people who live on it.
01:11:46The land belongs to the people who live on it.
