00:00:00I
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:01:00Oh, my God.
00:01:30Oh, my God.
00:01:39Samantha.
00:01:40Samantha.
00:01:42Oh, Philby.
00:01:43You were having a nightmare in the middle of the day.
00:01:45Someone was trying to kill me.
00:01:47Well, that just might happen if you're late for your Wild West Days meeting.
00:01:49After all, you were the chairperson.
00:01:51Oh, Clint Lawson's going to be at this meeting.
00:01:54Ah, famous television actor comes to a small town?
00:01:57He and his show are really going to pack him in.
00:01:59People are coming for miles to see him.
00:02:01You really put in a lot of time on this project.
00:02:03Well, Wild West Days is more than just a fun gimmick that's good for business.
00:02:06It's been a tradition in Walden since we were a cow town.
00:02:09You want to come with?
00:02:10No, I'll stay here.
00:02:16Hey, Mr. Lawson?
00:02:18You ran a tight meeting in there, Miss Kinsey.
00:02:20Well, thank you.
00:02:21I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate you and your Wild West show coming to Walden.
00:02:26Well, it's a pleasure.
00:02:27I hope everyone enjoys our little show.
00:02:29Are you kidding me?
00:02:30Your little show has been the biggest thing that has ever happened to Wild West Days.
00:02:34The ticket sales are going through the roof.
00:02:35The school building fund's really going to profit big time this year.
00:02:38Well, I'm glad to know it's going for a good cause.
00:02:40I liked your television series a lot.
00:02:42Only through reruns, I'm sure.
00:02:43That was a long time ago.
00:02:44Well, my Uncle Bob was a big fan.
00:02:47He had the whole collection on tape.
00:02:48You know, I'm putting together a Red River Days feature film.
00:02:51Really?
00:02:52See, I came up with the idea for the original series.
00:02:55So I come up with an idea for a sequel in feature form.
00:02:58Some equity investors are very, very interested.
00:03:01With the original cast?
00:03:02Yeah, most of them.
00:03:03Those that are left are in the Wild West show.
00:03:05See, this little tour of ours will help a great deal to get us all back in the saddle.
00:03:13Hey, Dogey, come over here.
00:03:17Miss Kinsey?
00:03:19This is Dogey Jones, my friend and good right arm.
00:03:22He works stunts on Red River Days.
00:03:24It's nice to meet you.
00:03:25Oh, pleasure's all mine.
00:03:27Did you pass out the posters?
00:03:28Yes, sir.
00:03:29Every shop in town's got one in the window.
00:03:31It's the only one left.
00:03:32I should have made more.
00:03:33Can I see that poster?
00:03:34Yes, ma'am.
00:03:37Oh, that's great.
00:03:38We should get out to the fairgrounds and start putting things together.
00:03:42Well, can I have one of those posters for my bookstore?
00:03:44Yes, ma'am.
00:03:45All yours.
00:03:46Ma'am?
00:03:47I'll see you tomorrow.
00:03:48All right.
00:03:48Last time we tried this, you made the cinch too doggone loose.
00:04:01You almost broke my neck.
00:04:02Yeah, I've got it worked out now.
00:04:04I tried it myself this morning.
00:04:06It'll hold through the rear.
00:04:07Just wait till all four feet come down and shift your weight one way or the other.
00:04:11Essential gift.
00:04:12All right.
00:04:14Up, Blanco.
00:04:15Woo-hoo!
00:04:21Woo-hoo!
00:04:23Ah, yeah.
00:04:24Works good, huh?
00:04:26Of course, if you want people to believe you're hurt, you're going to have to stay down longer.
00:04:29It worked great, doggie.
00:04:30It worked great.
00:04:32You just get set to call our friend in the entertainment world, huh?
00:04:35When are you going to pull it off?
00:04:36For a show tomorrow.
00:04:37We are going to be back in the headlines again, partner.
00:04:40You know, Clint, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about for a long time.
00:04:43Can I wait?
00:04:43No, I need to get it out.
00:04:45Well, what about tonight?
00:04:47The hotel in my room.
00:04:48I've got to go find Jeb and get set for tomorrow.
00:04:50Okay?
00:04:51Okay?
00:05:13Miss Kinsey, that was a mighty fine speech you made.
00:05:25We all feel very welcome.
00:05:27I want to thank you for mentioning my poster art.
00:05:30Oh, well, everybody in town just loves it, so I thought they ought to know who the artist is.
00:05:33Well, I sure thank you.
00:05:35It's like nobody's good for something, sirs.
00:05:37Licking Clint's boots, huh?
00:05:38You're nice, Trevor.
00:05:39I am nice.
00:05:40Wait a second, you're...
00:05:41I am.
00:05:43In movies and TV, I have made more widows, terrorized more towns and robbed more banks than Frank and Jesse James.
00:05:50Now, Clint, what a proper introduction to these fine ladies.
00:05:53Yeah, sure.
00:05:55Miss Kinsey, Miss Hillman, this here is Strother Elam.
00:05:59Pleasure.
00:06:00Pleasure.
00:06:01Best character actor in TV westerns.
00:06:05Character actor, that means everybody knows my face, can't remember my name.
00:06:09Of course, I never forget the hero's name, do they, Clint?
00:06:13And this gentleman here is Philby, Miss Kinsey's associate.
00:06:17Pleasure, Miss Hillman.
00:06:18Well, same here.
00:06:19Mm-hmm.
00:06:20Philby, huh?
00:06:21It's Philby.
00:06:22Oh, a man of simplicity.
00:06:24You a western fan, Philby?
00:06:25Well, not in the true sense of fan, but I enjoy good storytelling and professional performance, no matter what the genre.
00:06:33I particularly enjoyed your performance as George Roy Bean in The Devil's Bowl.
00:06:38Well, thank you, sir.
00:06:40And this here is Miss Annie Boone.
00:06:43You may remember in Red River days, she was Annie Oakley.
00:06:46Howdy.
00:06:47Hope to see you again.
00:06:50Mr. Philby?
00:06:52Ladies, Philby, I'll see you all later.
00:06:55Jerk.
00:06:58I'll get us some seats.
00:06:59Okay, we'll meet you there.
00:07:01You were so great as Annie Oakley.
00:07:04You could ride and shoot a gun better than any of the men.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:08How'd you do all that?
00:07:09I grew up on a ranch, had lots of practice.
00:07:11It must have really disappointed your fans when you left the show.
00:07:14Why did you leave the show?
00:07:15I'm the only person to ask.
00:07:18Hey, life takes turns, honey.
00:07:20None of us here is who we planned to be.
00:07:22Excuse me?
00:07:25I'm going to take a little hostility there.
00:07:27More than just a little.
00:07:30You get the impression she did not leave Red River days happily.
00:07:33Mm-mm.
00:07:37Now, you loosened that saddle cinch just like you did yesterday.
00:07:40Yeah, I thought we were going to talk.
00:07:42I went by your hotel room last night, but you weren't there.
00:07:45Yeah, well, I, um, I stayed here late last night.
00:07:49I had some thinking to do.
00:07:51I really need to talk to you about something.
00:07:52Not now, Dove, you all right?
00:07:53I've got to get my head into the show tonight.
00:07:57Yeah, we'll have a couple of drinks at the hotel and we'll talk.
00:08:00All right.
00:08:00I guess you can wait till the end.
00:08:02Good.
00:08:08This is really exciting.
00:08:10I know, it looks like the whole town turned out for this.
00:08:15Miss Kinsey.
00:08:18Ah, counselor, I didn't recognize you in the hat.
00:08:23That's classic.
00:08:25Bob Hope and Paleface.
00:08:26You've been really patient, ladies and gentlemen.
00:08:36So without further ado, let's head back to the Red River days.
00:08:41There's Annie Boone riding shotgun on the stage, coach.
00:08:45Look out, Annie, here comes the Dalton gang.
00:08:47And I think one of those masked bandits is none other than Strother Eli.
00:09:03Now let's return to yesteryear, ladies and gentlemen, Clint Martin.
00:09:08Look out there, Clint.
00:09:31A blanco.
00:09:32Paramedics.
00:09:45Paramedics.
00:09:46Paramedics to the arena.
00:09:49Are we okay?
00:09:53We need a paramedic now.
00:09:55How's your star attraction doing, Miss Kinsey?
00:10:05He had a pretty good fall.
00:10:06No broken bones.
00:10:07Hmm.
00:10:08Seems your cowboy hero's having a tough time keeping his saddle on his horse.
00:10:12Philby, will you show Chief Connors what you found?
00:10:15The saddle cinch was cut.
00:10:17Clint Lawson's fall was no accident.
00:10:19That cinch was deliberately cut to cause it to break.
00:10:21You sure this is off of Lawson's saddle?
00:10:23I took it off the saddle myself.
00:10:24Thank you, Philby.
00:10:26Well, Counselor, what do you think?
00:10:27DA's office has some concern.
00:10:29I think we might really be on to something, Chief.
00:10:32Thank you, Miss Kinsey.
00:10:33I'll take it from here.
00:10:35Officer.
00:10:44All right, all right.
00:10:45Clear out of there, you guys.
00:10:46Give him some air.
00:10:47Son, get these people up there for questions.
00:10:49Let's go.
00:10:50Ladies, too.
00:10:52Well, could have been worse.
00:10:54Could have been your neck.
00:10:57Hon.
00:10:59Gee, thanks, Annie.
00:11:06I'm Chief of Police Connors.
00:11:09How you feeling?
00:11:10Did you get the license number of that truck that hit me?
00:11:12There wasn't a truck, Mr. Lawson.
00:11:15And it wasn't an accident either.
00:11:17Somebody cut your cinch.
00:11:19I don't get it.
00:11:20Somebody deliberately tried to hurt you.
00:11:22Maybe even kill you.
00:11:24Kill me?
00:11:25Do you have any enemies?
00:11:26Yeah.
00:11:27Time, arthritis.
00:11:30Maybe we should go to the hospital.
00:11:32No.
00:11:32No, no, no, no, no.
00:11:35No, I don't like hospitals.
00:11:38They're full of sick people and dangerous diseases, you know.
00:11:42I'm fine.
00:11:43Really.
00:11:43I'll stay right here.
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:46I'll see you later, cowboy.
00:11:47Get her up.
00:11:53I got some questions to ask you folks.
00:11:57I'm going back to the store.
00:11:59But Philby will miss all the excitement.
00:12:01I've heard about all the excitement I can take for one day.
00:12:04See you later.
00:12:06Who saddles Mr. Lawson's horse?
00:12:08Most of the time, Clint handles it himself.
00:12:11Mm-hmm.
00:12:11And you are?
00:12:12Jeb Fletcher.
00:12:13I'm the road manager and announcer for the show.
00:12:15What do you mean, most of the time?
00:12:17Well, sometimes he gets busy.
00:12:19Then one of us does it for him.
00:12:21Mm-hmm.
00:12:21What about today?
00:12:22Oh, not today, not me.
00:12:25No, I'm maybe one of the others.
00:12:27I'll never touch his horse.
00:12:28He's no longer a star.
00:12:31And you are?
00:12:32I am Strother Elam.
00:12:34You have security on the horses?
00:12:35Never had a reason for it.
00:12:36So nobody's watching the horses.
00:12:39Which means anybody could have tampered with Clint's saddle.
00:12:41Tampered?
00:12:42That's what I said.
00:12:43What do you mean, tampered?
00:12:46Nobody leave town.
00:12:47Fine.
00:12:51Ladies?
00:12:52All right, look, we've got a show to do in an hour.
00:12:54Let's get to it, huh?
00:12:55Will Clint be ready in an hour?
00:12:59He'll be fine.
00:13:01Bye.
00:13:02I've seen him take harder falls than that.
00:13:06Still go on.
00:13:08He'll be all right once he gets his wits back.
00:13:10I don't believe we've met.
00:13:13Zeke Foster, ladies.
00:13:15Ex-stunt man and all-around hand.
00:13:17I'm Samantha Kinsey, and this is my friend Cassie Hellman.
00:13:19Pleasure.
00:13:20A traveling Wild West show must take a lot of hard work.
00:13:24Nothing but sweat.
00:13:25But old Clint, he loves entertaining the folks.
00:13:27You know, always did.
00:13:29What about Annie and Strother?
00:13:31Annie didn't have much of a career once she lost her television series.
00:13:35You know, in spite of her feelings for Clint, she joined up, get back in the public eye.
00:13:42You know, Annie and Clint used to be real close.
00:13:46Strother had a career.
00:13:48Strother.
00:13:48I lost every dime you ever made.
00:13:52Now he's just ornery.
00:13:53So you were a stuntman.
00:13:54Dougie and me both.
00:13:55If you'll excuse me, I gotta get back for the next show.
00:13:59But real nice talking with you both.
00:14:04I'm gonna go get a hot dog.
00:14:05Do you want one?
00:14:06No, I'll meet you back at the stands.
00:14:08Okay.
00:14:10I am telling you the truth.
00:14:14Just keep your voice down, will you?
00:14:16I did not cut that cinch.
00:14:20I was working on the saddle and somebody knocked me out cold.
00:14:23You're lying, Dougie.
00:14:24You're lying.
00:14:25You're supposed to loosen the thing.
00:14:29Some kind of a fairy tale.
00:14:31You almost got me killed.
00:14:32Listen to me.
00:14:33You call that entertainment world.
00:14:35And you tell them that cowboy legend Clint Lawson got himself severely injured in one of his Wild West shows.
00:14:43Severely injured?
00:14:43Yeah.
00:14:44You don't look that hurt.
00:14:45Then you tell them that the police suspect it to be an attempt on my life.
00:14:49Don't you see it, Dougie?
00:14:50Every news group will pick up that story and come rushing here.
00:14:54I will be back in the headlines, man.
00:14:56You're not thinking straight.
00:14:58You know, maybe that stunt worked better than we planned.
00:15:01You set up this whole thing yourself?
00:15:03You're supposed to be the hero.
00:15:05You're supposed to be the hero.
00:15:05Yeah, well, uh, I play a hero, sweetheart.
00:15:12I'm an actor.
00:15:14What you see isn't always what you get.
00:15:18You can make that call if you need a kick in the right direction.
00:15:21And come back and see me.
00:15:26You rigged that accident to get yourself media attention.
00:15:29Well, it wasn't supposed to be quite that violent.
00:15:31But don't be screwed up.
00:15:34However, I survived.
00:15:36It's really dishonest.
00:15:37I'll do whatever it takes to get publicity.
00:15:39What do you think your fans would think about this?
00:15:41Or maybe you don't care.
00:15:44It's shameless.
00:15:46You'll excuse me.
00:15:48You'll excuse me.
00:15:49I gotta get ready for the next show.
00:15:51See, my fans love me.
00:16:01Look out, Annie.
00:16:02Here comes the dog boy.
00:16:11So I called Chief Connors and had him drop the attempted murder case.
00:16:14Of course, he had a very good laugh about it.
00:16:16I had a little pro.
00:16:18I feel like such a fool.
00:16:19Clint just pulled me right in.
00:16:21Hey, I went along, too.
00:16:23He suffered us both.
00:16:24Awesome!
00:16:37A block off!
00:16:44Oh!
00:16:45Paramedics to the arena.
00:16:54Paramedics to the arena.
00:16:56He did it again.
00:16:58Oh, he's getting a piece of my mind in public this time.
00:17:02Come on, come on.
00:17:04Move, move, move.
00:17:05Come on!
00:17:19Easy, easy, easy.
00:17:22Doggy.
00:17:23It's not Clint.
00:17:24It's not Clint.
00:17:24It's doggy.
00:17:25Doggy.
00:17:29Come on.
00:17:30Can you get me Chief Connors, please?
00:17:48I thought it was Clint.
00:17:50I mean, he's dressed in Clint's clothes, he's riding Clint's horse, and then right in the middle of the act, he takes a shot through the chest.
00:17:55He's probably dead for you at the ground.
00:17:59Why did the deceased change places for Clint?
00:18:02I don't know.
00:18:03Clint's shoulder was probably too sore for him to go on.
00:18:05Okay.
00:18:06Thank you, Mr. Fletcher.
00:18:11Do you have any suspects?
00:18:12Take your pick.
00:18:13They're all telling the same story.
00:18:15Nobody shot Doggy Jones.
00:18:17Nobody knows anything.
00:18:18Uh, Chief, it's Doggy Jones.
00:18:20As in, get along little.
00:18:21I get it, Miss Kinsey.
00:18:24I've got my officers collecting their weapons.
00:18:26Then I'm going to invite them down to the station for a little talk after they clean up.
00:18:30Where is Clint Lawson?
00:18:32Nobody knows.
00:18:33I got an APB out on him right now.
00:18:36Excuse me.
00:18:39I'll see you later.
00:18:51It's awful, huh?
00:18:58Doggy was a good guy.
00:19:00That's really terrible.
00:19:03Did you know that Doggy had taken Clint's place?
00:19:06Guess they did at last minute.
00:19:07Does it happen often?
00:19:09Doggy is...
00:19:12He was.
00:19:13Everybody's standing.
00:19:15One of us got sick.
00:19:16Doggy was standing for us.
00:19:18See, folks in the audience don't see faces.
00:19:20They just see costumes on horses.
00:19:22Doggy used to stand in for me.
00:19:24I had to wear this big blonde wig.
00:19:25You should have heard him complain about that one.
00:19:27Where's Clint?
00:19:28Why are you asking me?
00:19:29Thought you might know.
00:19:30Well, this truck's gone.
00:19:32Which means he's probably back at the hotel.
00:19:34I heard that you and Clint were very close at one time.
00:19:38Well, that was a long time ago.
00:19:40Didn't work out.
00:19:41So are you friends?
00:19:42I wouldn't say that.
00:19:43Do you love him?
00:19:44I wouldn't exactly call my feelings for Clint Lawson love, honey.
00:19:49Well, what exactly are your feelings for Clint?
00:19:51Miss Kinsey, the whole big bunch of us here,
00:19:54we're just like one big, happy, very dysfunctional family.
00:20:12Mr. Lawson?
00:20:14Mr. Lawson?
00:20:29Miss Kinsey.
00:20:31I'm sorry, I thought you were the maid.
00:20:33Did Doggy tell you I was here?
00:20:34What are you doing?
00:20:35I'm waiting for him.
00:20:37He stood in for me today.
00:20:39Shoulder's been killing me all day.
00:20:42He was supposed to pick me up after the show.
00:20:44How did you and Doggy do the switch?
00:20:48Yeah, Doggy changed his clothes in my trailer and I'd slip out when no one was around.
00:20:53Shoulder not so sore, you can't do a little online gambling, I see.
00:20:57No, just whiling away the time.
00:20:59Like, if Doggy didn't send you, why are you here?
00:21:02Why did you send Doggy in your place?
00:21:04He's my stand-in.
00:21:06I don't want to disappoint my fans.
00:21:07You weren't afraid something might happen to him?
00:21:09What could happen?
00:21:10Same thing that happened to you?
00:21:11Nothing happened to me except Doggy's not paying attention.
00:21:15Doggy denied cutting the cinch.
00:21:17Of course he denied it.
00:21:18He's afraid I'd fire him.
00:21:20All right, you've convinced me.
00:21:22You really don't know what happened, do you?
00:21:24What are you talking about?
00:21:25Doggy was shot.
00:21:27I'm sorry.
00:21:29He's dead.
00:21:32Dead?
00:21:32Oh, man, why didn't I listen to him?
00:21:43About what?
00:21:44He kept trying to tell me something and I never took the time to hear him out.
00:21:53That could have been me.
00:21:54So you were in the announcer's booth and you didn't see anything unusual.
00:22:09Wouldn't take very long, would it, to get from that booth down to another position around the arena?
00:22:14I suppose not.
00:22:15What would you say, a matter of seconds?
00:22:17Probably.
00:22:18But you didn't do that.
00:22:19I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.
00:22:24No.
00:22:27You're a convicted felon.
00:22:29I served my time.
00:22:31Manslaughter.
00:22:34You killed a man.
00:22:35We were in a bar.
00:22:37We were drunk.
00:22:38We got into a fight.
00:22:40I hit him.
00:22:41His head hit the floor.
00:22:43I didn't set out to kill him.
00:22:45But you did it.
00:22:46No.
00:22:47The floor did.
00:22:48You're in no position to be cocky, Fletcher.
00:22:51I drank a lot in those days.
00:22:53I had a bad temper.
00:22:55It's a part of my life I like to put behind me.
00:22:58Did Clint Lawson know about that part of your life?
00:23:01Yes, he hired me anyway, getting your fresh start.
00:23:03I saw it as a chance for me to start running the big shows again.
00:23:06Word has it that you and Dogie had heated discussions over money.
00:23:11I'm the new kid on the block.
00:23:12People will talk, I guess.
00:23:14Well?
00:23:14We did.
00:23:15Clint pays me out a lot less than he did Dogie, and I do three times the work.
00:23:21And you didn't know that it was Dogie and not Lawson in that last show.
00:23:25As I told you before, they didn't clue me under the switch.
00:23:29All right.
00:23:32Don't leave town.
00:23:33Have a nice day, Chief.
00:23:41Clint's no hero, but I doubt he killed Dogie.
00:23:44He seemed genuinely shocked when I told him.
00:23:46He's an actor.
00:23:47Maybe he was acting.
00:23:49You can fake a lot of things, but not going pale.
00:23:52When I told him about Dogie, he went dead white.
00:23:55Hmm.
00:23:56What else?
00:23:57When I came into the room, he was hiding behind the door.
00:24:01Hiding?
00:24:02He said he was waiting for Dogie to come back and tell him the show was over.
00:24:05He thought I was the maid.
00:24:07It sounds to me like Clint was the only one who knew Dogie took his place during the performance.
00:24:12Well, maybe he didn't want anybody else to know.
00:24:14But why?
00:24:15He's the hero.
00:24:16The hero gets tossed.
00:24:17He gets back up on his horse.
00:24:19It's the code of the West.
00:24:20That's what he told me.
00:24:21What else did you see?
00:24:22His computer was on.
00:24:24Now, a man who has just murdered an old friend probably wouldn't unwind with a game of Texas Hold'em.
00:24:29That's a good observation.
00:24:31What if Dogie wasn't the intended target?
00:24:34And what if whoever shot Dogie thought they were shooting Clint?
00:24:37If you ever want to go to spy school, I'll give you an excellent reference.
00:24:41And give up the excitement of life as a bookseller?
00:24:43What was I thinking?
00:24:45That was excellent reasoning.
00:24:47You've convinced me that Clint didn't kill Dogie.
00:24:49I have to change.
00:24:50So there's no way that this could have been an accident?
00:24:54Hardly.
00:24:55We don't allow live ammunition anywhere near this show.
00:24:57Well, that doesn't mean somebody didn't accidentally slip that real bullet into the gun.
00:25:03Accidentally?
00:25:04Huh?
00:25:05Look, if someone put a real bullet into one of those old show guns and pulled the trigger,
00:25:09it would probably blow up in his hand.
00:25:11Ooh.
00:25:14Miss Boone, I see you told the officer that you weren't in the second show.
00:25:19That's correct.
00:25:20Why not?
00:25:22I wasn't feeling well.
00:25:25That old stagecoach is a rough ride.
00:25:26I had one of the guys jump up there for me.
00:25:28I thought that was Dogie's job.
00:25:30I couldn't find him.
00:25:31Well, I guess we know where he was.
00:25:33Every gun Chief Connors took from the show had been recently fired.
00:25:41They all tested positive for gunpowder residue.
00:25:44Well, that makes sense.
00:25:45I mean, everyone's in the show from time to time.
00:25:47Everybody fires guns.
00:25:49Blanks, not real bullets.
00:25:50Somebody loaded their gun for real this time.
00:25:52Okay, Cassie.
00:25:53If I were the killer, I would put on gloves before I shot at my victim.
00:25:57That's because you're smarter than most killers, Samantha.
00:26:00In the real world, people make incredibly stupid mistakes.
00:26:04That's how we catch them.
00:26:05Is there any way to find out if one of those guns shot a real bullet?
00:26:09We're working on it.
00:26:10The guns were sent down to L.A. to the forensic lab to be tested.
00:26:13Have all the cowboys gone back to the hotel.
00:26:15I think they're at the cantina.
00:26:19Hello?
00:26:20Counselor, I'm just calling to give you a heads up.
00:26:23The news media has hit town like a herd of locusts.
00:26:26The media's here.
00:26:27Are they at the courthouse?
00:26:29No, they're over at the hotel looking for cowboys, I assume.
00:26:33Well, thanks, Chief.
00:26:34One other thing.
00:26:36The tour manager, Fletcher, he's an ex-con.
00:26:40Had time for manslaughter.
00:26:42He had heated words with the deceased over money.
00:26:45We're keeping an eye on that one.
00:26:47Thanks, Chief.
00:26:48Bye-bye.
00:26:52Jeb Fletcher has a record.
00:26:54Manslaughter.
00:26:54He had words with dogey over money.
00:26:57Money is always a motive.
00:26:58Do you mind if we talk about this over dinner?
00:27:00I am starving.
00:27:01We can't go to the hotel.
00:27:02Too many reporters.
00:27:03I was thinking enchiladas.
00:27:07Connors.
00:27:08Chief, this is Amanda in the ME's office.
00:27:10We found a note in the deceased's shirt pocket.
00:27:14What kind of a note?
00:27:15It's a handwritten note, Chief.
00:27:17All right.
00:27:18I'll be right down.
00:27:19I like to say, it's a crime shame that dogey got himself killed.
00:27:33You really believe that, Strother?
00:27:35Backstage after the show, I got the distinct impression that you didn't like to.
00:27:38No, no, no.
00:27:39Just because I thought he was a suck-up doesn't mean I didn't like him.
00:27:43But you didn't.
00:27:45Did you?
00:27:45Well, okie-dokie, Mr. Philby.
00:27:48Outside of the fact you've got some fine-looking friends, I can't think of one reason to answer your question.
00:27:55This reason enough to answer mine?
00:27:59Deputy.
00:28:00District Attorney.
00:28:02What a waste of a good-looking woman.
00:28:06Did you dislike dogey Jones?
00:28:09Nope.
00:28:09I guess he disliked dogey.
00:28:11Oh, boy.
00:28:13Huh?
00:28:15Yeah, well, Strother here doesn't like anybody.
00:28:18The mean old man.
00:28:20I wouldn't talk if I were you, Clint.
00:28:23You sent dogey out to be shot.
00:28:25I didn't know such thing.
00:28:26He was dressed in your clothes.
00:28:28He was riding your horse.
00:28:29Everybody thought he was you.
00:28:30I didn't know he was going to get shot.
00:28:32Did you?
00:28:32What do you mean by that?
00:28:36Jeff, you're in no position to be drinking in a bar and getting in fights.
00:28:43Now, if you, ladies and gentlemen, will excuse me, my public's waiting.
00:28:51Okay, come on, folks.
00:28:53Let's not let the big sky ruin our wake.
00:28:56Hoist him up for dogey.
00:29:02Howdy, everybody.
00:29:03Howdy.
00:29:04Good to see you all here.
00:29:05I just want to apologize.
00:29:07The rest of the gang is feeling quite poorly over the situation that we've gone through today.
00:29:13And so I will be answering any questions you may have.
00:29:19He brought the press with him?
00:29:22He's pretty happy for a man who's grieving.
00:29:25He's using dogey's death as a photo op.
00:29:27You still think he didn't do it?
00:29:29Well, the evidence is against him, but he's behaving badly.
00:29:32People can behave badly.
00:29:34It doesn't make him killers.
00:29:41Looks like, uh, them right here.
00:29:44Uh, who knows?
00:29:46Maybe, uh, we have some new information.
00:29:48Get back. Get back.
00:29:48Put those cameras down.
00:29:50No more pictures.
00:29:51Well, what's going on?
00:29:52Is that your stationery?
00:29:55Yeah, it sure is.
00:29:56Is this your handwriting?
00:29:58Yes, it is, but, um, you...
00:30:00The coroner found this note in Dogey Jones' pocket.
00:30:05You lying lowlife, I'm going to get you for what you did.
00:30:08Did you write this?
00:30:09Yes, I did.
00:30:10Yes, I did.
00:30:10But it's not what you think.
00:30:13Clint Lawson, you're under arrest for the murder of Dogey Jones.
00:30:16Hook him up.
00:30:17I didn't kill him.
00:30:18You have the right to remain silent.
00:30:20I didn't kill him.
00:30:20You want to hang on till this till next year?
00:30:32If there is a next year, there's got to be an explanation for that note in Dogey's pocket.
00:30:38You said Clint was trying to explain when Chief Connors arrested him.
00:30:41Once Clint admitted to writing the note, Chief Connors stopped listening.
00:30:45Well, Clint wrote it, but he said it wasn't a threat.
00:30:47Doesn't make sense, does it?
00:30:48It reminds me of that novel by Owen Lasseter, Deadly Suspicions.
00:30:53All the evidence points to one man while the real killer slips out of town.
00:30:57To kill again.
00:30:59But you and I both think that Clint was the intended victim.
00:31:03Chief Connors isn't thinking that way.
00:31:05That note is all the motive he needs.
00:31:07Well, shouldn't he wonder how Clint could be both the killer and the victim at the same time?
00:31:12What are you thinking?
00:31:14I'm thinking we don't know anything about Dogey Jones, or the rest of them, for that matter.
00:31:18Hello?
00:31:25This is Sam.
00:31:27Hey, it's me.
00:31:29Clint wants to talk to you.
00:31:30He does?
00:31:31Yeah, he sent word through the Chief.
00:31:33You don't have to talk to him if you don't want to.
00:31:35There's a catch, isn't there?
00:31:36Chief Connors wants to know everything that Clint tells you.
00:31:38All right.
00:31:41I'll see ya.
00:31:43Miss Kinsey, you know I didn't kill Dogey.
00:31:47Don't you?
00:31:48Clint, I'm going to lay it out straight for you.
00:31:50Dogey's dead.
00:31:52He was taking your place when he was shot.
00:31:54For all anybody knows, you had a grudge against Dogey.
00:31:57Sent him out in your place.
00:31:59Shot him from cover and then snuck back to the hotel.
00:32:01You really don't believe that.
00:32:02It doesn't matter what I believe.
00:32:04I'm not a jury.
00:32:05What about whoever cut my saddle cinch?
00:32:07I mean, they were trying to kill me.
00:32:09Dogey did that, remember?
00:32:11But what if he was telling the truth about somebody clobbering him over the head, then
00:32:14they shot Dogey, thinking it was me.
00:32:16Look, you need to pull yourself together, hire a lawyer, or you're going to be in here
00:32:21a really long time.
00:32:23Chief Connors is convinced you did it.
00:32:24He found that note in Dogey's pocket.
00:32:26Well, that's why I needed to see you.
00:32:28You see, that note is, it isn't a note.
00:32:31Well, then what is it?
00:32:32It's dialogue from an old script for my TV show.
00:32:36I wrote it down for Dogey.
00:32:38See, he wanted to have something to say in the Wild West show.
00:32:42He was tired of yelling, yeehaw!
00:32:45Can you prove that it was dialogue from an old script?
00:32:47I have an original script somewhere.
00:32:51Okay, then you need to turn it over to Chief Connors.
00:32:53Oh, I can get it.
00:32:56As soon as I get out of here.
00:33:02Clint, you are going to be convicted of murder if you don't start telling the truth.
00:33:08And if you have any evidence, now is the time to produce it.
00:33:13No jury is going to convict me.
00:33:16I'm an American icon.
00:33:17Don't call me again.
00:33:25It's so frustrating.
00:33:28How do you think Clint's going to take it when he discovers his beloved media has left town?
00:33:32The second he got arrested?
00:33:33Better news in L.A.
00:33:35Some singer got arrested for shoplifting.
00:33:38I think Clint's 15 minutes are up.
00:33:39Do you have that note the Emmy found in Dogey's pocket?
00:33:45Uh, yeah.
00:33:46I have a copy of it.
00:33:52Can we get a couple of ice waters, please?
00:33:55You lying lowlife.
00:33:57I'm going to get you for what you did.
00:34:01Wait a second.
00:34:02There are quotation marks at the beginning and at the end.
00:34:06Who puts quotation marks on a death threat?
00:34:08Nobody.
00:34:10But somebody copying lines in a script might use quotation marks.
00:34:13Clint may be a fallen idol, but at least he's grammatical.
00:34:16Nobody's all bad.
00:34:17Clint says he has the original script, but he either can't or won't produce it.
00:34:20I can't tell which.
00:34:21He's being pretty vague.
00:34:22Maybe he's hiding something.
00:34:23Still, the evidence against him is circumstantial.
00:34:26I mean, nobody's placed him at the scene of the crime or put him in possession of the murder weapon,
00:34:29and there is no murder weapon at this point.
00:34:31That's what his lawyer's going to argue at the bail hearing.
00:34:34So who's the celebrity attorney?
00:34:36The famous Jerry Spence?
00:34:38Sam Marshall.
00:34:39The public defender?
00:34:41Ladies?
00:34:42Oh.
00:34:44Agadashi Tofu, please.
00:34:45Mystery Woman Bookstore.
00:35:00May I help you, please?
00:35:01Hey, Philby.
00:35:02Clint's lawyer is Sam Marshall.
00:35:04The public defender?
00:35:04Why would a guy who's loaded and considers himself an American hero settle for a public defender?
00:35:09He'd hire the best, get a haircut, and go on court TV.
00:35:11I think Clint Lawson might be keeping some secrets.
00:35:14I'm doing research on all those people.
00:35:16Well, I think I know someone who might know those secrets.
00:35:22I gotta go.
00:35:22All right, Samantha.
00:35:23How's Annie Oakley doing today?
00:35:34Okay.
00:35:35It's Annie on this end.
00:35:36So where are all the guys?
00:35:38Hanging out at that cantina, drinking their tears away.
00:35:41I just came from seeing Clint.
00:35:44He wanted me to say hello.
00:35:46He did?
00:35:47He can have visitors.
00:35:49You can go see him if you want.
00:35:50You know what?
00:35:51The heck with him.
00:35:52Let him rot.
00:35:52Annie, what did he do to you?
00:35:55We're just going for a ride.
00:35:56You're gonna have to excuse me, huh?
00:35:58I used to ride a lot.
00:35:59And I loved it.
00:36:01Is there any chance maybe I could go along?
00:36:04Yeah, I suppose so.
00:36:06Let's saddle you up.
00:36:11I was young and impressionable.
00:36:14Clint Lawson ripped my heart out.
00:36:16I don't think I've ever really forgiven him.
00:36:18But you're working with him.
00:36:20Yeah, I need the money.
00:36:23It's a shot of the second chance, I guess.
00:36:26Probably still chasing rainbows, huh?
00:36:28Still have feelings for him?
00:36:30From time to time.
00:36:31And I think about it and I come back to my senses.
00:36:34Well, at least you have a handle on it.
00:36:36Yeah.
00:36:37Clint's the one who ruined my career.
00:36:39He says not, but I know better.
00:36:42Clint just always has to come first in everything.
00:36:44He's always...
00:36:45Clint's supposed to have money,
00:36:47but he hired a public defender.
00:36:50That's fine.
00:36:51Maybe it has something to do with the movie.
00:36:53Maybe he put all his money in that.
00:36:55He told me about it.
00:36:56Yeah.
00:36:57No secret.
00:36:58We're doing a Red River movie.
00:37:00Big budget.
00:37:01I'm the leading lady.
00:37:03We're gonna start shooting in a few months.
00:37:05There's a big chance for all of us.
00:37:08I think he's gonna be one of the producers.
00:37:10Well, there might be a little delay.
00:37:11Your leading man got arrested for murder.
00:37:13Clint didn't do it, and that's that.
00:37:15He's a lot of things, honey, but he's not a killer.
00:37:18Well, who do you think did do it?
00:37:20I've been wondering about Strother.
00:37:22He's been acting real strange this whole tour.
00:37:25He was always ragging on dogey.
00:37:26What do you mean, strange?
00:37:27I guess these big boxes delivered every town we're in.
00:37:31Suspicious, huh?
00:37:32Well, that depends on what's in the big boxes.
00:37:35You don't like Strother, do you?
00:37:36Can't keep his hands to himself.
00:37:45I tell you, Philby, this murder has done some serious damage in Walden.
00:37:49Wild West Day shut down, all the tourists gone home.
00:37:53Mystery Woman has a stack of Westerns we didn't sell.
00:37:55Everybody took a hit one way or the other.
00:37:57Western Days is the big tourist event here.
00:38:00Supposed to be a big fundraiser, too.
00:38:02How can those folks just go do the murder in some place else?
00:38:05Well, not at all.
00:38:06I see you've been making some deliveries up at the hotel.
00:38:09You think the deliveries had something to do with the murder?
00:38:11I don't know.
00:38:13Just checking.
00:38:14I did deliver a big box, and I mean big,
00:38:18to when Strother Elam is one unhappy-looking man.
00:38:22Where did it come from?
00:38:24The used saddle company in Billings, Montana.
00:38:26I remember because we don't get many shipments from there.
00:38:30A used saddle company.
00:38:34And that isn't all.
00:38:36There's more.
00:38:37Go on, Otis.
00:38:39Strother's become one of Otis's best customers.
00:38:43Now, why would an older character actor be buying saddles when he's supposed to be broke?
00:38:48Strother's not broke.
00:38:50He has a considerable account in the bank in Nevada.
00:38:51Oh, Philby, you've been hacking again.
00:38:55Cyberspace investigation is not hacking.
00:38:58If Strother has this much money in the bank, why is he working for Clint?
00:39:01It could be tied in with those shipments.
00:39:03He brought the saddle back to be shipped to parties in Denver.
00:39:06This still doesn't tell us anything about the bad blood between Clint and Strother.
00:39:10Might be time to talk to Strother.
00:39:12Annie said the guys are hanging out at the cantina.
00:39:15Will you come with me?
00:39:16Absolutely.
00:39:17I love the smell of stale beer.
00:39:32Hey, Doug, can I get a soda?
00:39:37Strother, you enjoying our town?
00:39:39I hate small towns.
00:39:42You like the wide-open prairie?
00:39:44No, I like Las Vegas, bright lights, some women, and the smell of money.
00:39:53So, you heard anything about Clint?
00:39:56They hang him yet?
00:39:57Well, we usually have a trial before the hang-in.
00:40:00Well, that's too bad.
00:40:02Sounds like you've got a big problem with Clint.
00:40:04Oh, no, no, don't, uh, don't pay me no attention.
00:40:09I had too much to drink.
00:40:11Look, Clint and me, we, uh, we're buddies.
00:40:17If he did to me what he did to you, he wouldn't be my buddy.
00:40:20Well, that's, uh, Waller under the bridge.
00:40:22You know that story?
00:40:24Just Clint's version.
00:40:25What's yours?
00:40:26I bet he told you that my wife left me because I hit her.
00:40:29Did you?
00:40:30No, I did not hit my wife.
00:40:32It's more like Peaches threw herself at Clint.
00:40:35Until he noticed, and then Clint took her bait,
00:40:38and she started swimming up the food chain.
00:40:40So she divorced you and married Clint?
00:40:44After she cleaned me out, yeah.
00:40:47She's still married to Clint?
00:40:51She stayed with him long enough to, uh,
00:40:54sock away some big bucks, and then she just took off.
00:40:57Clint marries your wife, and you're not mad at him?
00:41:01It wasn't his fault, was it?
00:41:02It was her fault.
00:41:03Still taking your wife isn't a very nice thing to do.
00:41:05No, it wasn't.
00:41:15Struther's lying through his teeth.
00:41:18He and Clint have had more than one argument over the woman.
00:41:22You were there when it happened?
00:41:23Before my time.
00:41:25I have reliable sources.
00:41:27But you don't know firsthand.
00:41:29I'm not lying about this.
00:41:30Have you been part of the Wild West show for the whole tour?
00:41:32Every dusty little town from nitpick Wyoming to Ashcan, Arkansas.
00:41:37Who do you think killed Dogey?
00:41:38Clint.
00:41:39Same as everyone else.
00:41:40Dogey must have had something on him.
00:41:42Nobody's saying it except you.
00:41:44Clint's not dangling a carrot over my head.
00:41:46What does that mean?
00:41:47I don't do movies.
00:41:48I do big road shows.
00:41:50Or at least I did.
00:41:51I like to do them again.
00:41:53Clint's movie doesn't bother me one way or the other.
00:41:56You have no interest in movies.
00:41:58I heard you did some prison time.
00:42:01It's hard to keep something like that a secret.
00:42:02What's your point?
00:42:04No point.
00:42:05I just wanted to see your face when I asked.
00:42:13319.
00:42:14You hacked into the hotel's computer system?
00:42:16The H-word defends my senses.
00:42:20You didn't by any chance get a key, did you?
00:42:22I didn't have time.
00:42:28You know you're breaking into a man's room.
00:42:30We've got to find something to connect Clint to Dogey's murder.
00:42:33And, Philby, the B-word offends my senses.
00:42:40What a mess.
00:42:42Easy to search this room.
00:42:44Everything that Dogey owns is on the floor.
00:42:45It's hard to tell if Dogey was this messy or if the police did this when they came through.
00:42:49I use paper clippings.
00:42:51These are from the towns that they appeared in.
00:42:55I got pretty good reviews.
00:42:57Old boots, sturdy clothes.
00:42:59Yikes.
00:43:00Looks like Dogey forgot his quarters for the washing machine.
00:43:07Philby, look.
00:43:10Don't move.
00:43:10How can I thank you?
00:43:22I was glad to be of help, man.
00:43:26You want to tell me what you two were doing here?
00:43:29We thought we might find something significant in Dogey's room.
00:43:32So you were snooping.
00:43:33This isn't a crime scene.
00:43:35We didn't break any rules.
00:43:36So breaking and entering is no longer a crime.
00:43:39We didn't break.
00:43:39You just entered.
00:43:42The maid must have left the door open.
00:43:43You've got a dead rattlesnake and a gun.
00:43:46I don't think Philby and I are so important.
00:43:50What are you doing here?
00:43:52Well, I was on my way to my room.
00:43:55Like they said, the door was open a crack.
00:43:57I heard the snakes rattle.
00:43:58You heard the snake rattle from all the way out there in the hallway?
00:44:01I used to wrangle rattlers.
00:44:03So you're experienced with snakes.
00:44:04If you're accusing me of putting that snake in this room, you better have some proof.
00:44:08If you did it, I'll find it.
00:44:11Let me ask you something.
00:44:13You ever seen this gun before?
00:44:15It's hard to tell.
00:44:16It's in that bag.
00:44:17I'm going to ask you again.
00:44:19Have you ever seen this gun before?
00:44:23No.
00:44:24But...
00:44:25But what?
00:44:26Well, it reminds me.
00:44:28Clint has a collection of old western six guns.
00:44:31Really?
00:44:32Why would Dogey put a rattlesnake in a box on top of a gun?
00:44:41To keep someone else from finding the gun.
00:44:43Crazy Dutchman's mind.
00:44:45Excuse me?
00:44:45Red River Days.
00:44:46It was the episode where a miner used a rattlesnake inside of a box to protect his gold.
00:44:50Then why didn't the police find it the first time they searched the room?
00:44:53Because it wasn't there.
00:44:54And Dogey was already dead.
00:44:55You just might make spy school yet.
00:44:58Okay, this is getting more and more complicated.
00:45:01We have a gun in Dogey's room protected by a deadly snake.
00:45:05That's pretty suspicious behavior.
00:45:07It makes one think that Dogey is the killer.
00:45:09Except he was the one who got murdered.
00:45:10Here we go again.
00:45:12We got a killer who's also the victim?
00:45:15Unless...
00:45:16Mr. Foster.
00:45:18Call me Zeke.
00:45:19I wanted to thank you again.
00:45:21There's no need.
00:45:23I also wanted to ask you about Clint's gun collection.
00:45:25I should have kept my big mouth shut.
00:45:28Anyway, I only saw it once.
00:45:30And that was years ago.
00:45:31It was right after Clint had bought his ranch.
00:45:33And he had invited all of us down for a barbecue.
00:45:36You know, his way of showing off a little bit.
00:45:38Did you resent him?
00:45:39He earned it.
00:45:40Not everybody feels that way.
00:45:41Where'd you hear that?
00:45:43People talk.
00:45:45Talk is cheap.
00:45:46You should know that.
00:45:48Besides, show business breeds jealousy.
00:45:51Excuse me.
00:45:54I think I'm gonna go talk to Clint.
00:45:56I'm gonna get back to Mystery Woman and get it on my computer.
00:45:59More hacky?
00:46:01Informational research on our suspects.
00:46:07Right.
00:46:10What gun?
00:46:11What snake?
00:46:12There was a box in Dogi's closet.
00:46:14Inside the box was a rattlesnake.
00:46:16That doesn't make sense, because Dogi hated snakes.
00:46:19What about you?
00:46:20Do you hate snakes?
00:46:20Only the two-legged kind.
00:46:23We used to have a couple around the place just to show visitors.
00:46:26Did you handle them yourself?
00:46:28There's not much to it.
00:46:29Just stay away from the head.
00:46:30The snake was coiled up on top of a six gun.
00:46:33An old six gun.
00:46:34What'd this gun look like?
00:46:36Silver, chrome, a long barrel, wooden grips.
00:46:41A small silver star on the grips.
00:46:42I gotta get out of here.
00:46:47Why is that?
00:46:48Food's lousy.
00:46:49Your bail hearing's coming up.
00:46:50You might get lucky.
00:46:51I don't need luck.
00:46:54I didn't kill Dogi.
00:46:56Clint, this is not a traffic ticket.
00:47:00Why do you have a public defender?
00:47:02I like Sam Marshall.
00:47:05He's a good enough lawyer.
00:47:07He is the entire collector's edition of Red River Days.
00:47:10I told him I'd sign the cover.
00:47:14Hey, do me a favor.
00:47:15Is it legal?
00:47:17If you see Annie, ask her to bring me a burger and fries.
00:47:23Hmm?
00:47:25If I see her.
00:47:31Thank you very much.
00:47:36Well, according to ballistics, none of the guns they tested was the murder weapon.
00:47:41I'm not surprised.
00:47:42Dogi's guns is in the evidence room.
00:47:44Was it fingerprinted?
00:47:45I would hope so.
00:47:46What if it doesn't belong to Dogi?
00:47:47Dogi's room, Dogi's closet.
00:47:49I guess you're right.
00:47:50It wasn't there in the initial search.
00:47:53Which means it was put there after the fact, if it is the murder weapon.
00:47:56By the killer for safekeeping until they needed it.
00:47:59Like to place it in Clint's room and pin it on him?
00:48:02You still think he's innocent?
00:48:03He's too self-centered to be guilty.
00:48:04I'll get the answers on that gun ASAP.
00:48:08Call me.
00:48:21Hi.
00:48:22Hi.
00:48:25Well, you look different.
00:48:27Sometimes you gotta dress up and feel like a girl.
00:48:30What can I do for you?
00:48:31Yeah.
00:48:31You're friends with that blonde DA, aren't you?
00:48:33Did she say anything about when Clint might be getting out?
00:48:37Well, soon as it would be after the bail hearing.
00:48:39I think Chief Connors is still collecting evidence.
00:48:42I'm worried about that movie Clint's doing.
00:48:43Can't he delay it?
00:48:45Assuming he'll be out of jail.
00:48:47I need the job.
00:48:49I'm broke.
00:48:50And if the movie's delayed?
00:48:51Put it off too long.
00:48:52The people financing it are going to get antsy and pull out.
00:48:56So all the work would be for nothing.
00:48:59Pretty much.
00:49:00Except for Jeb.
00:49:02He has nothing to do with the movie.
00:49:03Jeb was supposed to be on it.
00:49:05Clint promised him he could be one of the producers with Zeke.
00:49:08And then a couple days ago, Clint reneged on it.
00:49:11You gave me your word, Lawson.
00:49:13Yes, yes, I gave you my word.
00:49:15But you know things change in this business.
00:49:17Why?
00:49:18Why?
00:49:18Because I'm an ex-con?
00:49:19No.
00:49:20The money guys are telling me they need somebody with real movie experience to be a producer.
00:49:24Yeah.
00:49:25And you're just going to go along with it, right?
00:49:26I tried convincing them otherwise.
00:49:29They wouldn't hear it.
00:49:30They can't hire a guy who only has road show experience.
00:49:33I only agreed to do this lousy show because you promised me I could be a producer on the movie.
00:49:38Considering your history, bub, you don't have much room to gripe.
00:49:43I mean, who else would hire an ex-con?
00:49:49Look at it this way.
00:49:51I got you back in show business.
00:49:58I ought to wipe the floor with you.
00:50:00I wouldn't try it.
00:50:01You owe me.
00:50:03And I will collect.
00:50:05I know you were a part of this, doggie.
00:50:08I won't forget it.
00:50:10And Jeb stayed.
00:50:11Clint's holding him to his contract.
00:50:13Mean, huh?
00:50:15Mean enough for Jeb to want to kill Clint?
00:50:17The thing about revenge, people take it on the spot, a month later, years down the line.
00:50:22The only thing that matters is that you get even.
00:50:24Have you ever thought about revenge on Clint?
00:50:27Just about every sleepless night for years.
00:50:31I put it behind me now.
00:50:32You're better for it.
00:50:34I guess I just got to wait for Clint's bail hearing to find out if I'm looking for work again.
00:50:39Part of me hopes that old lizard just stays locked up forever.
00:50:43I saw Clint, and he wanted me to ask you if you would bring him a burger and fries.
00:50:48Samantha, do I have a sign around my neck that says, use me, I'm easy?
00:50:51I'll see you around.
00:50:59Jeb Fletcher wasn't truthful about his interest in movies.
00:51:02And Zeke said doggie's door was open to crack when he passed it.
00:51:05Well, it wasn't because I closed it behind me when I went in.
00:51:07So he must have had a key.
00:51:09It's another untruth.
00:51:10Chances are they're both at the cantina.
00:51:16Yeah, Otis.
00:51:19That's great.
00:51:20We'll be over there in a little while.
00:51:22You're going to like this.
00:51:23Strother made another shipment.
00:51:24Howdy.
00:51:46Looks like you overcame your scare, Miss Kinsey.
00:51:49I was scared, but now I'm just confused.
00:51:52About what?
00:51:53You said the door to doggie's room was open when you walked by.
00:51:56That's not exactly true.
00:51:58Excuse me.
00:52:00You, uh, call my friend a liar.
00:52:03Stay out of this.
00:52:06I have decided I do not like you.
00:52:09One can't please everyone all the time.
00:52:12Got a smart mouth, too.
00:52:14This is none of your business.
00:52:15I'm making it my business.
00:52:17Philby, maybe we should let Chief Connors handle this.
00:52:19I can handle it.
00:52:20No.
00:52:21No.
00:52:22No.
00:52:22No.
00:52:22No.
00:52:22Come on.
00:52:27I'll fix you.
00:52:28Oh, yeah.
00:52:29I'll fix you good.
00:52:32Do it.
00:52:34Forget it, Scudder.
00:52:35It ain't worth it.
00:52:36Now, Zeke, back to that hotel room door.
00:52:39I've said all I'm going to say.
00:52:42Let's go.
00:52:47Hey.
00:52:49You lied to me.
00:52:50I did?
00:52:50You were supposed to be a producer in that new movie, and then Clint changed his mind.
00:52:57Why is it no big deal?
00:52:58Big enough, it almost caused a fight.
00:53:00You're getting misinformation.
00:53:02Okay.
00:53:02I intend to find out.
00:53:04I intend to find out.
00:53:10Philby, that was quite a move you laid on that guy.
00:53:13You got any more?
00:53:14No.
00:53:15Shouldn't we go see Otis now?
00:53:16I'll call Cassie.
00:53:17I'll call Cassie.
00:53:24Otis thought he heard some ticking in the box.
00:53:26So under the new Homeland Security guidelines, I took it upon myself to, uh, the box.
00:53:31You said you thought you heard ticking.
00:53:36Why didn't you just call the police bomb squad?
00:53:38Otis was in bomb demolition in the army.
00:53:40He knows what to do when it comes to disarming explosive devices.
00:53:43Besides, the closest bomb squad is in Los Angeles.
00:53:46So you called Philby.
00:53:47We did some work a few years back.
00:53:49Uh, we stayed in touch.
00:53:50And I'm here.
00:53:53In case there is something illegal in the box.
00:53:56Hmm.
00:53:57Bingo.
00:53:58May I?
00:53:58Please do.
00:54:05A saddle.
00:54:06Spurs.
00:54:08Got a horse in there to go with it?
00:54:09Clint Lawson's signature.
00:54:12And a certificate of authenticity stating that everything in this shipment belonged to Clint Lawson.
00:54:18And a bill of sale for $6,000 to a company called Western Memorabilia in Colorado.
00:54:25They're forged.
00:54:26What, the saddle or the spurs?
00:54:28All of them.
00:54:29The signature is the same on all three.
00:54:31Identical.
00:54:32No one's signature is always identical, especially on three different surfaces.
00:54:36It's probably one of those signature machines.
00:54:38They traced over Clint Lawson's real signature.
00:54:41Like off a paycheck.
00:54:43Western collectors will pay a fortune for memorabilia like this.
00:54:46If it's real, which this isn't.
00:54:49It looks like Struther is in the fake memorabilia business.
00:54:53I didn't know anything about fake goods.
00:54:55I'm not in on this.
00:54:56No.
00:54:57Otis, Otis.
00:54:59We know it wasn't you.
00:55:01You're the one who reported the ticking.
00:55:03I did.
00:55:04And called the proper authorities?
00:55:06Me?
00:55:07Otis?
00:55:07You're a hero.
00:55:08I am?
00:55:09I'll have someone come down and pick up the evidence.
00:55:14Oh, I will guard this with my life.
00:55:17Good man.
00:55:20So are you going to get a warrant for Struther?
00:55:22The minute I get back to the office.
00:55:25Can you wait a little while?
00:55:26Why?
00:55:27Well, I've been adding up the evidence.
00:55:30Uh-huh.
00:55:30And Dogey was killed while he was dressed like Clint.
00:55:33But nobody but the two of them knew that they had switched places, so I've got to believe
00:55:36the killer was after Clint.
00:55:37So I'm arresting Struther for fraud, not for murder.
00:55:40With Struther in jail, it's harder to investigate him for murder.
00:55:42He could have killed Dogey thinking Dogey was Clint.
00:55:45And his motive for wanting Clint dead would be?
00:55:48Revenge.
00:55:49Born out of jealousy.
00:55:52Clint ran off with Struther's wife.
00:55:54Recently?
00:55:57Years ago.
00:55:58So if he kills Clint, he kills the fake memorabilia business.
00:56:02When does the price on Star's memorabilia skyrocket?
00:56:05When he's dead.
00:56:06Bingo.
00:56:08You too.
00:56:09All right, I'll hold off as long as I can.
00:56:14Thank you, Mrs. Kramer.
00:56:15I'll let you know when the next Nora Roberts comes in.
00:56:18Got some backstage info on Red River Days.
00:56:21Really?
00:56:21Gossip?
00:56:22Spill it.
00:56:22Clint and Annie were romantically involved.
00:56:25Old news.
00:56:26Next.
00:56:26Clint fired her.
00:56:28Why?
00:56:30Clint told the press that Annie had an offer to star in her own show.
00:56:34But the truth is, Annie was getting more fan mail than he was,
00:56:38and he felt threatened, so he fired her.
00:56:40Did Annie know that Clint fired her because he felt threatened,
00:56:43or did she actually believe she was getting her own show?
00:56:45She didn't find out until six months after she had left Red River Days.
00:56:49And by that time, she was going broke.
00:56:52Clint is a real piece of work.
00:56:54If I were Annie, I would want revenge.
00:56:56Maybe she got some.
00:56:57She broke into his house and ripped up his upholstery and painted his walls with mustard.
00:57:02Not bad, but not nearly enough.
00:57:05Maybe she thought so too.
00:57:06Annie told me she was over Clint, but maybe she joined the Wild West show to kill Clint.
00:57:11People do lie.
00:57:12You got all that info from your colleague?
00:57:15No.
00:57:16I got it from a website.
00:57:18Guy used to be a writer for Red River Days.
00:57:20His name is Lee Ramblin.
00:57:21He sells old scripts and old gossip.
00:57:23Very bitter.
00:57:25But a great speller.
00:57:26But this is Clint Lawson's financial report from A to Z.
00:57:30I think you might find it very interesting.
00:57:33I never would have guessed.
00:57:34Hello?
00:57:40Hey.
00:57:40Hey, Cassie.
00:57:41Clint Lawson was just released on bail.
00:57:43Miss Boone picked him up and is taking him back to the hotel.
00:57:46Really?
00:57:47Yes.
00:57:47See you later.
00:57:48Okay, thanks for telling me.
00:57:51Clint Lawson made bail.
00:57:52Annie went to pick him up and has taken him back to the hotel.
00:57:55You going over there?
00:57:57I am.
00:57:58Be careful.
00:58:02Oh, Annie.
00:58:07I heard Clint made bail.
00:58:08Where is he?
00:58:09I do have that sign around my neck.
00:58:11Use me.
00:58:12I'm easy.
00:58:13What did he do this time?
00:58:15Nothing.
00:58:17Just like always, nothing.
00:58:19I pick him up at the courthouse, I drive him here, and then he just jumps in his truck
00:58:23and drives off.
00:58:24No thank you, no nothing.
00:58:26Wait a second.
00:58:26He can't just leave town.
00:58:27The chief will throw him back in jail.
00:58:29Oh, Clint's not leaving town.
00:58:30He just went to the fairgrounds.
00:58:32He just didn't want me to go with him.
00:58:35Thank you very much.
00:59:01That would be trespassing.
00:59:24We shoot trespassers where I come from.
00:59:26I'm not trespassing.
00:59:28I'm following you.
00:59:29Well, I don't like being followed.
00:59:30Quit pretending like you're going to shoot me.
00:59:32Put that gun down.
00:59:39It isn't loaded.
00:59:41Why are you here?
00:59:42I just come here to think.
00:59:44You were looking for that gun.
00:59:47Yep.
00:59:48It's not here.
00:59:51Doggy must have taken it.
00:59:52Doggy didn't take your gun.
00:59:54It was in his room.
00:59:55It was put there after he was already dead.
00:59:57Did you put it there, Clint?
00:59:59No.
01:00:00That means whoever shot Doggy thinking he was me put it there.
01:00:04Any idea who that might be?
01:00:06A number of people.
01:00:08I haven't exactly been up front with the truth in my dealings.
01:00:12You mean like this?
01:00:13Now, this is supposed to be confidential information.
01:00:25How did you get it?
01:00:26I have my ways.
01:00:30Well, now you know it all.
01:00:36I'm broke.
01:00:37Busted flat.
01:00:38Lost everything to ex-wives, taxes, and gambling.
01:00:44I had to sell off everything of value to live.
01:00:48But I, uh...
01:00:50I saved a couple of old guns just for the memories.
01:00:53If the report on that gun comes back with your fingerprints and a ballistic match to the slug that killed Doggy,
01:00:58you're in a lot of trouble.
01:01:00You know, I'd say most of my money went the way of gambling.
01:01:05Welcome to my spread.
01:01:08Feet up old trailer and a couple of chairs.
01:01:11You know, everyone thinks it's just my dressing trailer.
01:01:13It's my home.
01:01:17I saw you playing poker online.
01:01:19You have a gambling problem.
01:01:21Ooh, only when I lose.
01:01:23Most of the time.
01:01:25Everyone thinks you have a fortune socked away.
01:01:27See, I've always been the master of spin.
01:01:30Make anyone believe anything I wanted them to.
01:01:33So, uh...
01:01:34A fortune.
01:01:35A slight exaggeration.
01:01:38You know, I held on to that gun you saw.
01:01:39Because it was worth a lot of money.
01:01:41It was my ace in the hole.
01:01:43That was a gun
01:01:44that John Wayne used in his very first film.
01:01:49The Big Trail.
01:01:511929.
01:01:52Must be pretty valuable.
01:01:53And say about 80,000 valuable.
01:01:56And nobody but me and Doggy knew that gun was here.
01:02:01Nobody knew this was your home.
01:02:03So somebody broke in, took the gun, and left everything else?
01:02:06You don't believe me?
01:02:08Goodbye, Clint.
01:02:10Samantha.
01:02:11Uh, you gotta believe me.
01:02:13You're a liar?
01:02:14A gambler?
01:02:14Maybe a killer?
01:02:15You don't believe that.
01:02:16Which parts?
01:02:17I'm not a killer, and I'm not lying when I say things are gonna change.
01:02:20When I get this movie off the gun...
01:02:21There is no movie, Clint.
01:02:23Okay?
01:02:23This whole road trip is about you trying to make enough cash to keep your bookies at bay.
01:02:27It's a nice scam.
01:02:28No.
01:02:28It's not a scam.
01:02:30And I'll get my movie made.
01:02:31You told Jeb you could be one of the producers, and then you reneged.
01:02:34You blamed some non-existent money people.
01:02:37I couldn't be tied to an ex-con.
01:02:40It's how you got him to join the Wild West show.
01:02:42You gave him a shot at a future.
01:02:44Look, he'll make out all right, and I will make my movie.
01:02:47How?
01:02:48Some magic falling out of the sky?
01:02:50No.
01:02:51I'll make it happen.
01:02:53And that movie will lead to a new TV show.
01:02:56I know it.
01:02:58Does Annie know you're broke?
01:03:00No.
01:03:02I think deep down she still cares about you.
01:03:05I wrecked her career.
01:03:08I was young and selfish.
01:03:11Now you're older, selfish.
01:03:14You ought to tell her the truth.
01:03:21Enjoy your books.
01:03:24Thanks, Hilby.
01:03:27Hey, Sam.
01:03:28Hi, Sam.
01:03:28Cassie called.
01:03:30She wanted to give you some information about that gun we found.
01:03:32Because Clint's fingerprints are on it?
01:03:34You talked to Cassie?
01:03:35No, it's just an educated guess.
01:03:37Anything on the ballistic report?
01:03:39No, still waiting.
01:03:40When are they going to pick Clint up?
01:03:42Well, Cassie doesn't think he's a flight risk.
01:03:44You know, at times life can be kind of depressing.
01:03:48You must have just seen Clint Lawson.
01:03:50Yes, I did.
01:03:51He now knows what we know.
01:03:53He's broke, totally self-centered, an addicted gambler, a liar, and all around not a nice guy.
01:03:59Clint's not really a bad guy.
01:04:01He spent a lot of money.
01:04:02On gambling?
01:04:04And on building a children's hospital in Texas.
01:04:07A children's hospital?
01:04:07So, he's a liar, a gambler, and now a philanthropist?
01:04:14People are complicated.
01:04:17Sometimes good people do bad things.
01:04:19Sometimes bad people do good things.
01:04:21And sometimes good people do bad things for good reasons.
01:04:25Like who?
01:04:26Spies.
01:04:28Okay, Philby, you got me there.
01:04:29Oh, Cassie said that Chief Connors is going to pick up Strother tonight.
01:04:33She said she was going to wait.
01:04:34I guess she couldn't.
01:04:35Makes it difficult to investigate a murder suspect sitting in prison for ten years.
01:04:40He certainly has motive.
01:04:42Well, maybe sitting in jail will make him more cooperative.
01:04:44Okay, so then there is Zeke Foster, Jeb Fletcher, and Annie Boone left.
01:04:50You don't really think she's a prime suspect, do you?
01:04:53No.
01:04:54But we still need more information on Jeb and Zeke.
01:04:57And we really don't know anything about Dogey.
01:04:59I'll see if I have any answers to my inquiry.
01:05:07Annie?
01:05:09We need to talk.
01:05:11It's too late, Clint.
01:05:13It's not even 8 o'clock.
01:05:14I meant in our relationship.
01:05:17Like a hundred years too late.
01:05:23Annie, I'm going to tell you the truth.
01:05:26For the first time in a long, long time.
01:05:30I can hardly wait to hear this.
01:05:33I'm broke, Annie.
01:05:36I have been for years.
01:05:40What kind of scam are you running now?
01:05:43Scam?
01:05:44No, I'm telling you the truth.
01:05:48I'm busted.
01:05:50Lost everything.
01:05:52Really?
01:05:54Your ranch.
01:05:56Gone.
01:05:58Yeah.
01:05:59I mean, it took me half my life to buy it and one night to lose it.
01:06:05What about the movie?
01:06:06It's a long shot at best.
01:06:07You know, then I'm sorry.
01:06:11Sorry.
01:06:17Sorry.
01:06:19You lied to me.
01:06:21You just threw me along.
01:06:22Yes, you were sorry.
01:06:24You were the sorriest individual on this planet.
01:06:27All right.
01:06:28All right.
01:06:28I lied to you about the movie because I liked having you around.
01:06:32You have lied to me from day one.
01:06:35You even lied when you fired me.
01:06:38You said the network wanted me gone.
01:06:40That was a lie.
01:06:41And it wasn't about you getting too much fan mail either.
01:06:44Then what was it about?
01:06:46It was about me being a jerk.
01:06:49I fired you because you were better than me.
01:06:56Oh, you were the real star of the show.
01:06:59You mean that?
01:07:06Clant.
01:07:11That must have been really painful for you to tell me that.
01:07:14Yeah, it was.
01:07:17Well, not painful enough.
01:07:20Oh!
01:07:22Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:25Oh!
01:07:25Oh!
01:07:26Oh!
01:07:26Oh!
01:07:26Oh!
01:07:26Oh!
01:07:26Oh!
01:07:27Oh!
01:07:27Oh!
01:07:27Oh!
01:07:28Oh!
01:07:29Well, that's enough for one night.
01:07:37I'm going to go back to my room.
01:07:40Annie?
01:07:41Hey.
01:07:48Oh, thanks.
01:07:49I needed that.
01:07:50What are those numbers?
01:07:51What numbers?
01:07:53Looks like...
01:07:54Philby, you've hacked into a bank.
01:07:56That would be illegal.
01:07:59You might want to take a look at this.
01:08:01Dougie's bank statement.
01:08:04No money in the savings.
01:08:05A couple hundred in the checking.
01:08:07Another flat broke cowboy.
01:08:08Take a look at line four.
01:08:11Safety deposit box.
01:08:14But no key was found on his body or in his hotel room.
01:08:18Why would a broke cowboy keep a safety deposit box and where's the key?
01:08:22Because he obviously had something of value to hide and somebody took the key.
01:08:27Apparently.
01:08:28But who?
01:08:29Whoever took Clint's gun and whoever shot Dougie.
01:08:36Look, I know I'm guilty of fraud, but I did not kill Dougie.
01:08:40You wouldn't shoot Clint, would you?
01:08:43Ma'am, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if I was inside of it.
01:08:46So you liked Dougie?
01:08:48Come on.
01:08:48He's a harmless guy.
01:08:50He's always sucking up to Clint.
01:08:53Even in the old days.
01:08:54But Clint?
01:08:56Clint used to.
01:08:58Dougie was his runner for gambling.
01:09:01We all knew about it.
01:09:02Runner?
01:09:03Yeah, a go-between.
01:09:05For Clint and the bookies.
01:09:07You see, Dougie would collect the winnings or he would deliver the losings.
01:09:11Sometimes Dougie would get roughed up when Clint's payments were late.
01:09:16Roughed up?
01:09:17Yeah, busted lip, bloody nose.
01:09:19Did he ever get angry at Clint?
01:09:21Dougie Jones was not an angry kind of man.
01:09:25I mean, ever since I got to know him, I've never seen him get mad other than a couple of times.
01:09:31Anytime recently?
01:09:33The day we hit town, we were setting up, and he and Zeke were going at it.
01:09:37Something over Clint's, so I know.
01:09:40It ain't no good, Zeke.
01:09:42I can't live with it anymore.
01:09:44He owes you, Dougie.
01:09:46And me.
01:09:47Live with it.
01:09:49I need to get that key back.
01:09:51You're making a big mistake, Dougie.
01:09:53Well, then, Zeke, it's my mistake.
01:09:55Where's the key?
01:09:57Well, I don't have it on me.
01:09:59I'll get it for you later.
01:10:00But I would think long and hard before you told Clint.
01:10:04Well, I have thought long and hard about it.
01:10:10I'll think on it some more.
01:10:12In the meantime, if you're going to stand in for Clint in the show, please let me know beforehand.
01:10:18Why?
01:10:18Because I don't want to miss seeing if that big old white horse is going to buck you off like it did in Tucson last month.
01:10:26Oh, Blanco.
01:10:27He really stuck my head in the dirt.
01:10:30My ears are ringing for a week.
01:10:31In case you don't see me before the show, just pick up that fancy phone of yours and give my cell phone a call.
01:10:39Well, I'll do it, but he's not going to surprise me.
01:10:43I'll pick it.
01:10:44Want to bet?
01:10:44How much?
01:10:46How about 10 cents?
01:10:49Dougie had a cell phone.
01:10:51It was never found.
01:10:52I don't know.
01:10:53It was a fancy one.
01:10:54All those whistles and bells.
01:10:56Have you talked to Clint?
01:10:57Yeah, he came by.
01:10:58He said he wasn't going to press charges and that he was going to sign all the stuff I sold.
01:11:07I might be able to slide out of this.
01:11:10Why did you do it?
01:11:11Why?
01:11:13Well, my self-excuse was losing my wife.
01:11:20But thinking about it, that's just an excuse.
01:11:27It was just greed.
01:11:28Greed.
01:11:39I really enjoyed you as an actor.
01:11:49Did Clint mention the movie?
01:11:51Yeah.
01:11:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:11:53He said it was all a fantasy.
01:11:56Shame.
01:11:57It would be fun to be in front of the camera again.
01:12:00Do you think anybody else knew he was lying?
01:12:04Dougie.
01:12:05Maybe.
01:12:07He'd be the only one.
01:12:13Clint told me that Dougie used this trailer to change his clothes.
01:12:17And you're thinking he dropped the cell phone the day he was killed?
01:12:19Well, if he did and we can find it, we might be able to weave some of these strings together.
01:12:29Here it is.
01:12:30Struthers said that it was fancy with all the bells and whistles.
01:12:34The battery's dead.
01:12:36The battery's easy.
01:12:38What about retrieving other information like the last number called, date, time?
01:12:41It would be even easier for her at the desk.
01:12:43Use one of your special gadgets?
01:12:45No.
01:12:46I'd recharge the battery.
01:12:47I think we're approaching this from the wrong direction.
01:12:59Well, let's step back, look at all the information, and draw a new conclusion.
01:13:04Dougie knew about Clint's trailer, his money problems, and his gambling.
01:13:10He more than knew about it.
01:13:11He placed Clint's bets for him.
01:13:12So, maybe Dougie became a victim because somebody knew his secrets.
01:13:19Somebody who was using Dougie to get to Clint.
01:13:22Well, that's a good theory.
01:13:24But who?
01:13:25Okay, Dougie had something important to tell Clint, but he never got the chance.
01:13:30And Zeke knew what it was.
01:13:33And talked Dougie out of telling Clint.
01:13:36And then Jeb had a grudge against Dougie.
01:13:39He even threatened him.
01:13:39You know, we've just been looking at motives aimed at killing Clint.
01:13:44Well, the mystery lies with Dougie.
01:13:47The last number called, time and date.
01:13:50Well, it's the day Dougie was killed, and right before the second show.
01:13:55You know, they're having a memorial service for Dougie at the fairgrounds tomorrow morning.
01:14:00That's a fitting place to put Dougie's memory to rest.
01:14:03Every suspect except Strother will be there.
01:14:05I assume you and I will be there.
01:14:07With Dougie's cell phone, we might be able to flush out the killer.
01:14:09Spoken like a true hunter.
01:14:22We're, uh, gathered here to say farewell to a fallen comrade.
01:14:28Some of you here didn't know Dougie Jones too well.
01:14:31But he was a stand-up man.
01:14:35Full of integrity and honesty.
01:14:39His untimely death leaves a void in all our lives.
01:14:43I'm sure his killer will be brought to justice soon.
01:14:47But that's not what we're here to talk about right now.
01:14:51We're here to remember Dougie Jones.
01:14:53You may want to invite Chief Connors.
01:14:57Yeah.
01:14:57What if it's a wild goose chase?
01:14:59We've had egg on our faces before.
01:15:01Dougie wanted to be cremated.
01:15:05Have his ashes spread across the vast West Texas badlands.
01:15:09And that will happen as soon as all of this is over.
01:15:12And he had a favorite poem.
01:15:14I'll do it for you now.
01:15:16Maybe somewhere Dougie's listening.
01:15:21You may as well do it now.
01:15:23Yeah.
01:15:24Last number Dougie called?
01:15:27It's a simple poem.
01:15:30Then again, Dougie was a simple man.
01:15:36Hello?
01:15:37I was calling for Dougie.
01:15:41Gotcha.
01:15:46Hey.
01:15:48Whoa, whoa.
01:15:48Hey, what's wrong with you?
01:15:49He killed Dougie.
01:15:50Hey.
01:15:51What?
01:15:52Hey.
01:15:53Wait a minute.
01:15:56Go.
01:15:59What's going on?
01:16:00What are you doing?
01:16:01Ah!
01:16:03I'm clear.
01:16:07Don't just stand there.
01:16:09Mount up and help the lady.
01:16:11Let's go, boys.
01:16:14Yeah.
01:16:14Let's run.
01:16:15Go.
01:16:34Come on.
01:16:35Come on.
01:16:35Come here.
01:16:37I got me a hostage.
01:17:06You may as well give up.
01:17:08You can't get away.
01:17:09Get down off that horse.
01:17:10Or what?
01:17:11You'll shoot me?
01:17:12Well, they can only execute me once.
01:17:14You knew it was Dougie and Clint's clothes.
01:17:16He called and told you.
01:17:17He wanted to tell Clint about the money.
01:17:19The money in the safety deposit box?
01:17:20Oh, Dougie, he'd been skimming Clint for years.
01:17:23But Clint never caught on.
01:17:24Well, Dougie'd give him a little of the winning from time to time.
01:17:27Well, Clint just figured himself to be a big loser.
01:17:30Which he is.
01:17:31So you shot Dougie to keep the money for yourself.
01:17:33And then when the time was right, you were going to lay the blame on Clint.
01:17:37He owed me big time.
01:17:38I didn't like hitting old Dougie on the head, though.
01:17:40You didn't mind killing him.
01:17:42You stole Clint's gun.
01:17:44You shot Dougie.
01:17:45You placed the gun in the closet with a snake for safekeeping.
01:17:49And then when the time was right, you were going to plant the gun in Clint's trailer where the police hadn't searched.
01:17:53I had a key to Dougie's room.
01:17:56I was coming to get the gun and move it to Clint's trailer.
01:17:59Don't move.
01:18:03So you figured the whole thing out, huh?
01:18:05Not quite.
01:18:07I still don't understand your resentment of Clint.
01:18:09Know the idea for the Red River days?
01:18:12That was my idea.
01:18:13But he cut you out.
01:18:14I never saw a dime.
01:18:16Sounds like my posse's coming to rescue me.
01:18:19Get down off the horse.
01:18:20No.
01:18:21No?
01:18:21I got the gun, lady.
01:18:23Up, Blanco!
01:18:34Now I really gotcha.
01:18:37Come on, kid!
01:18:39Come on!
01:18:39Come on!
01:18:51We got a call for him.
01:19:08You got here quick.
01:19:09I was on my way here when you called.
01:19:11To get him.
01:19:12Clint Lawson, I'm taking you into custody.
01:19:15Did he violate his bail?
01:19:16No, Counselor, he didn't.
01:19:18The ballistics report came back from the gun found in Dougie Jones' hotel room.
01:19:22It was the weapon used to murder Jones.
01:19:25Lawson's gun and Lawson's fingerprints.
01:19:27There might be a hitch in your plan.
01:19:29A hitch?
01:19:30Hey!
01:19:31Look!
01:19:31Over there!
01:19:32There's a killer, Chief.
01:19:41Zeke Foster.
01:19:42Foster?
01:19:44What?
01:19:44You want to explain what's going on, Counselor?
01:19:47I'll explain later.
01:19:48In the meantime, can you get Sneaky some help?
01:19:54Men, go help the lady with her prisoner.
01:19:56Get him down off that horse.
01:20:08Zeke Foster, you're under arrest.
01:20:10You kind of felt like Annie Oakley out there.
01:20:12Well, you look just like her.
01:20:14That's a compliment coming from Annie Oakley.
01:20:17Well, I just wanted to stop by before I left town.
01:20:20Where will you go?
01:20:21Hollywood.
01:20:23A new film career?
01:20:24I'm going to give it a shot.
01:20:25I have a cousin who lives there.
01:20:27You said I could stay with her while I get going.
01:20:30Years ago, when you were mad at Clint...
01:20:33Mm-hmm.
01:20:33Which time?
01:20:35You ripped up all his furniture,
01:20:37and then you painted his walls with mustard.
01:20:39That time.
01:20:41Why mustard?
01:20:43Well, I ran out of ketchup.
01:20:47How did you hear about that, honey?
01:20:51Howdy, everybody.
01:20:51Oh, am I glad I found you.
01:20:55I thought you'd left town.
01:20:57Hello, Clint.
01:20:58We haven't got much time.
01:21:00I'm signing a deal to sing at a new club in Vegas.
01:21:03I have to leave today.
01:21:05Clint, you don't know how to sing.
01:21:07I'll learn.
01:21:08That's not the point.
01:21:09I want to marry you, Annie.
01:21:16Good for you.
01:21:19Well, that's great.
01:21:20Does that mean yes?
01:21:25It means no.
01:21:29And as Annie Oakley would say,
01:21:31y'all take care now, huh?
01:21:32Bye.
01:21:36Bye.
01:21:40Best of luck.
01:21:41Oh.
01:21:43You know you love me.
01:22:02You know I love you.
01:22:04Come on, marry me.
01:22:09Annie.
01:22:09Annie.
01:22:09Annie.
01:22:13Shelby, would you call that true love?
01:22:19Personally, I would call it insanity.
01:22:21I would call it insanity.
01:22:43Because it's a real feeling.
01:22:53She was.
01:22:53Bye, Abby.
01:22:57Somebody.
01:22:58Bye.
01:23:01Bye.
01:23:05Bye.
01:23:09Bye.
01:23:09Bye.
01:23:10Bye.
01:23:10Bye.
01:23:11Bye.
