03:07good morning
03:08good morning
03:09good morning
03:09you uh ready to go back to work now
03:12barley's heading out
03:13alfalfa is ready to be cut
03:14sixteen colts just waiting to be broke
03:16I do hope you can spare us
03:17a few moments of your time
03:18well I'm ready
03:19I'd sooner clean out the stables
03:20than testify at that inquest anymore
03:22than it's all over
03:23they brought in an indictment
03:24of first degree murder last night
03:26it's all over
03:27but to hang it
03:30Corby Kyles for Colonel Ashby.
03:32One of the most despicable men in our community
03:34taken in exchange for one of the most charitable, beloved men.
03:39Not a very fair exchange.
03:41If I had my way, I'd kick Jake Kyles and all three of his sons
03:43clean out of this valley.
03:45That bunch is worse than a wagonload of barbed wire.
03:48Sorry I'm late.
03:49Audra.
03:50Well, good morning, Audra.
03:51Good morning, Audra.
03:52All this work going on around this ranch,
03:54I suppose you've been out dancing the moon down.
03:56You're welcome to dispose all you like.
03:59You know, as soon as these odd jobs are through,
04:01maybe we ought to commence riding herd on our little sister.
04:04I'll have you know I was up at six o'clock this morning
04:07and picked up the plans for the orphanage
04:08for the meeting this afternoon.
04:10Well, with Colonel's murder,
04:13you don't suppose that Mrs. Ashby will change her mind
04:15about donating that land to it?
04:17Well, Mrs. Ashby told the committee
04:19that the children shouldn't suffer because of his death.
04:22I'm sorry, he just came on board you in.
04:24I want to do some talking.
04:26Jake, Kyles, you get out of here.
04:28Nick, Nick.
04:29It doesn't take much of your time, Victoria.
04:30Get those hats off.
04:32And just after asking a simple favor from an old friend,
04:35never asked the Barclays for nothing before
04:37except to be left alone,
04:39that's the way we've been with everybody
04:40in this whole valley, up till now.
04:43All right.
04:44What favor can we do for you?
04:46I've been all over town.
04:48Ain't a lawyer anywhere
04:49who cares will even touch my boy's case.
04:51They're either afraid of Ashby's name
04:54or mad at Kyles.
04:57Jared, he ain't afraid.
04:59He's pretty fair with them legal speeches.
05:02I'd like to hire him on.
05:04You willing?
05:06Now, Jake, you think about the reasons
05:07those lawyers turned you down.
05:09It's probably because they don't believe
05:11your son's plea that he's innocent.
05:13Because any one of them
05:14will even listen to his side.
05:17Jared, you're my last hope.
05:19I wouldn't have asked you neither
05:20if it weren't for the fact that
05:21your daddy and me came to this valley together.
05:24A member of my family
05:26is the prime witness against your son.
05:30I thought of that, too.
05:32But it ain't as if he's a real member
05:34of the Barclay family.
05:36Nick.
05:40Now, Jake, I'll try and overlook that remark.
05:43But you understand this.
05:45I'll not accept your case.
05:48You're always yapping it up about justice.
05:51But when it comes to action,
05:53you're like all the rest of them
05:54do-gooders, do nothing.
05:55I'm telling you, the real knife-stickers
05:57in this town are the high and mighty
05:59mucky-mucks like the Barclays.
06:00Jake, that'll be enough.
06:03Now, you heard Jared's answer.
06:04Don't make it any worse.
06:05All right, you see to it
06:06he keeps his nose out of our business
06:08and see that he don't tell any more lies
06:10about my own son.
06:12Mr. Kiles, I don't take to anybody
06:13calling me a liar.
06:15And I'm telling you,
06:16you're testifying against Kobe
06:17makes you one.
06:20Get out.
06:22Get out of here, Jake,
06:23before we forget you're an old man.
06:25And I'll move.
06:29Come on, Paul.
06:38All right, let's finish breakfast.
06:53Keith, I'm sorry for what he said.
06:57Thanks, sis.
07:01I'm sure if Jacob really tries,
07:03he'll find a competent lawyer.
07:05What difference does it make?
07:08Well, sometimes it has been known
07:10to make the difference
07:10between a verdict of guilty and innocent.
07:13But he caught him right-handed.
07:14And it's high-low,
07:16Jack, and the game, right?
07:22Right.
07:36Good afternoon, consular.
07:38Well, Jared!
07:40Clem, how are you?
07:41Fine.
07:42Good to see you.
07:43Say, I owe your brother Heath
07:45a drink for testifying at the inquest.
07:47He's a prosecutor's dream.
07:48Thank you, sir.
07:49Would appear so,
07:50but, you know,
07:53too bad it cost a Nashby
07:55to get rid of a Kiles.
08:00Tell me, Clem,
08:01is it true that Jacob Kiles
08:03can't get anyone to defend his son?
08:04Oh, I hear tell
08:05he's been asking around.
08:07But unless Corby decides
08:08to change his plea to guilty,
08:10I don't think he's gonna have much luck.
08:12Why are you asking?
08:14Oh, it's just that he finally
08:16got around to asking me.
08:17Mm-hmm.
08:23No, sir.
08:24Never a Kiles set foot in this shop.
08:27Them's a shaggy-eared,
08:28they ought to pay double dog taxes.
08:30I ain't complaining.
08:31I wouldn't want to build my shears
08:32on any of them.
08:33Colonel Ashby,
08:35L.A. broke the mold
08:36when they made him.
08:37It was a grand funeral.
08:39I shaved him.
08:40Quick hanging
08:41would be a community service.
08:42They're the simple
08:43black-tongued example
08:44for the rest of them.
08:46They ought to hamstring
08:47the whole crew of them.
08:49They ought to time up McCabe
08:51and clean them out once and for all
08:53from the land of civilized people.
08:55The only thing,
08:57hanging won't bring the colonel back.
08:59But at least he wouldn't be able
09:00to kill anybody else.
09:01That's for certain.
09:04Nice talking to you, Slim.
09:05Thank you, Miss Barkley.
09:06It's been nice talking to you.
09:07Next.
09:09Kiles are a menace to our community.
09:11The record shows a history
09:12of 14 individual arrests
09:13during this past year alone.
09:15Corby Kiles himself
09:16has been charged with drunkenness,
09:18destruction of private property,
09:19conspiring to defraud,
09:21assault with a deadly weapon,
09:22and now we know him
09:23to be the lowest
09:24of all human beings.
09:25A murderer.
09:28Don't you think this editorial
09:29is just a little prejudicial?
09:31You call it prejudicial.
09:33I call it the truth.
09:35Tell me, George,
09:36are all writers so emotional?
09:38Or is it just that lawyers
09:39are too objective?
09:41Jared, I don't understand you.
09:44Your own brother
09:45is living proof of Kiles' guilt.
09:47Oh, I'm well aware
09:47of the case against it.
09:49I just wonder
09:49if you'd print anything for him.
09:54Well, who are your little friends?
09:57Well, these are some of the children
09:58whose parents were lost
09:59in the epidemic.
10:00I'm taking them over
10:01to Mrs. Bradshaw's house.
10:02There's just no room
10:04in the old orphanage.
10:06Children,
10:07why don't you go on
10:07to Mr. Perkins' store
10:09and tell him I said
10:09to give you each a licorice stick?
10:18Jared?
10:19Hmm?
10:20You're thinking about
10:21the Corby-Kiles case.
10:23What makes you say that?
10:25Because I heard
10:26what you said
10:26to George Allison.
10:27Oh.
10:28Well, I just don't like
10:29him in a newspaper
10:30who condemns a man
10:31before he's even been tried.
10:32After all,
10:33it might be
10:33one of my clients sometime.
10:35You're not thinking
10:35of changing your mind
10:36and taking the case.
10:38The last thing
10:39in this world
10:39I want to do
10:40is defend Corby-Kiles.
10:42Anyway,
10:42that's nothing for you
10:43to be worried about.
10:44Yes, it is.
10:46How do you think
10:46Mrs. Ashby's going to feel
10:47about being associated
10:48in the orphanage with us
10:49if you defend the man
10:50who murdered her husband?
10:51Now, Audra,
10:53Corby-Kiles might be guilty,
10:54but...
10:54Might be guilty?
10:56Heath saw him do it.
10:57That's proof enough.
10:59Jared,
11:00you've got to promise me
11:01you won't take the case.
11:03I'm sorry, honey.
11:05I can't make you that promise.
11:18Now you see
11:19what I've been doing
11:20all year.
11:21The new orphanage
11:22is going to be
11:22as perfect as I can get it.
11:24Here are the sleeping quarters
11:25and this is the infirmary
11:27we're giving them money for.
11:28The pantry,
11:29the kitchen,
11:30the dining room.
11:30What else do these kids
11:31do besides eat?
11:33They wash and dry dishes.
11:35Well, I wouldn't think
11:36they'd have time
11:37between meals.
11:38Oh, don't you worry.
11:39They study harder
11:40than most, John.
11:42All right, I'm sold.
11:43Anything I can do,
11:44you tell me.
11:51Excuse me, sis.
12:01Well, you're home early.
12:03Town lost its charm.
12:04No, town's fine.
12:07Well, Audra seems to think
12:08you're going to commence
12:08a war against her.
12:10Audra jumps to conclusions.
12:13Jared, if you knew
12:14a man was guilty,
12:15would you defend him?
12:21Only to save his life
12:22by pleading for mercy.
12:25Especially if there were
12:27extenuating circumstances.
12:30But if he claims
12:31he's innocent?
12:33Well, that would depend
12:34on whether I could
12:35believe him or not.
12:36Do you believe
12:37Corby Kyle's killed
12:38Colonel Hesby?
12:44Heath, the more
12:45everyone hangs him
12:46in advance,
12:48the more I wonder
12:49about it.
12:49I saw him, Jared.
12:51You think I made it up?
12:52No, of course not.
12:54But you still think
12:55there's a possibility
12:56that Kyle's didn't do it?
12:57At this moment, yes.
12:59There's a shadow
13:00of possible
13:01but not probable doubt.
13:03Even though you
13:04sincerely believe
13:04you saw him do it.
13:06All right.
13:08Then I want to make it clear
13:09that you don't
13:10turn him down
13:10on my account.
13:13Thanks, Heath.
13:15But that's the cart
13:16before the horse.
13:17I haven't even talked
13:18to the party
13:18in question yet.
13:27Morning, Fred.
13:29Well, I see
13:30they're keeping you busy.
13:31No, they ain't.
13:32And that's what
13:33I like about this job.
13:34What can I do for you, Jared?
13:36I want to see Kyle's.
13:38What do you want with him?
13:39Maybe offer to draw
13:40up his will.
13:40Can't I see him?
13:41Come on ahead
13:42and waste your time.
13:43You ain't got nothing
13:44worth leaving
13:44as far as I can see.
13:46Kyle's, you got a visitor.
14:01Well, looky here.
14:04A high and mighty
14:05barkley
14:06has come to lord it over
14:07a poor old Kyle's.
14:11Well, I didn't bow
14:12for your brother
14:12and I ain't gonna
14:13bow for you
14:14and I ain't gonna
14:14bow for nobody else
14:15in this coyote town.
14:17And I'll tell you
14:18something else, mister.
14:19I'm gonna gnaw
14:20your hanging rope
14:21into and I'm gonna
14:22come and get you
14:22and your brother
14:24and that stinking sheriff
14:25and everybody else
14:26that's a-crowing
14:27over me right now.
14:29You refuse to testify
14:30at the inquest.
14:31Does that mean
14:31you're gonna plead guilty?
14:33I mean, what difference
14:34does it make?
14:35I ain't got no lawyer
14:36to prove otherwise.
14:38All right, Corby.
14:40Did you do it?
14:44Then what if I say yes?
14:46Then I want to know
14:47if you're gonna plead guilty.
14:48Why?
14:49Because a lawyer
14:49might be able
14:50to save your life.
14:52My pa said
14:53you wouldn't have
14:53nothing to do with me.
14:54Your pa might be wrong.
14:58There's something
14:59scratching the ear
15:00or crawl there, mister.
15:02Coming on
15:03them cheap maybes.
15:05Well, maybe I'm guilty
15:06and maybe I'm not.
15:07Which is it?
15:09What if I said
15:10I'm not for sure?
15:13What then?
15:16Course I'm not.
15:19And I got a good notion
15:20to tell the whole world
15:21about this town.
15:22It's full of tall
15:23doggy stuffed shirts.
15:25They know what I'm around
15:26good as the Kiles.
15:27And believe me, mister,
15:28I've seen both sides of them.
15:30Corby, if I thought
15:31you'd level.
15:34You, Barclays,
15:35you ain't got enough
15:36to railroad me.
15:38So you come here
15:38to shut me up, huh?
15:39I came down here
15:40to consider your case.
15:42Now, if you don't want
15:42even that, then at least
15:43I've satisfied my conscience
15:44that I tried.
15:48Well, hold on a minute.
15:52Keep shirt on.
15:53I mean, hog dog or devil,
15:55I got to have me a lawyer.
16:03All right, then.
16:04You tell me the truth.
16:06Plain and simple.
16:08You wouldn't know the truth.
16:09You run over it in the street.
16:11Try me.
16:14All right.
16:15Do you want to know
16:15about your high and mighty,
16:17rich, respectable Colonel Ashby?
16:19He had two suits.
16:20One of them was clean
16:21and one of them was dirty.
16:22You want to know
16:23how he got his real money?
16:24He got it from Opium.
16:26You're lying.
16:27And let me tell you
16:28that that kind of talk
16:29is only going to dig you in
16:30deeper than you are already.
16:32I figured you'd say that.
16:41Colonel Ashby
16:41was the middle man
16:43for the whole
16:43of Central California.
16:46All I did was
16:47carry the stuff
16:47to the buyers
16:48like the Yipsu Tong.
16:50And that's what was going on
16:52back there in that alley.
16:54It was the payoff
16:55from the head Chinaman.
16:56It was one of them
16:58Chinamans that killed him,
16:59not me.
17:02Can you identify
17:03that Chinaman?
17:04No, I can't identify them.
17:06They all look alike to me.
17:07Like I told you,
17:08all I'd do
17:09is carry the stuff.
17:11The payoff comes direct.
17:14So there I was
17:15back there in that dark alley.
17:16I'd come to get my money
17:17for my day's work.
17:19And I see Colonel Ashby
17:21and I seen a man behind him.
17:23And so I yelled
17:24to the Colonel,
17:25look out, Colonel.
17:26And he turned around
17:28and that's when
17:29the Chinaman,
17:29he done it.
17:32So I go over
17:33to this poor man
17:34and I pull a knife
17:35out of him
17:35and I chase that Chinaman.
17:37And that's when
17:38your brother,
17:38he'd jump me.
17:45What's the difference?
17:46You ain't gonna believe me
17:48because I ain't
17:48nothing but a cow.
17:51There's one difference.
17:54If your story is true,
17:55it will ruin the reputation
17:56of one of the most
17:57respected men
17:58in this state.
18:00Well, that's, uh...
18:03That's his fault,
18:04not mine.
18:07My brother testified
18:08that he saw you
18:09stab Colonel Ashby.
18:11And I told you
18:12I didn't do it.
18:14He's seen a Chinaman,
18:16not me.
18:17And I swear that
18:18on my mother's grave.
18:25Your story is so bad
18:27I'm almost tempted
18:27to believe it.
18:29Well, thanks, Jared.
18:33Don't you ever
18:34call me Jared.
18:50Nick?
18:56Is it true?
18:59What?
19:00You're gonna defend
19:01Kyle's.
19:03No.
19:05If it's true,
19:05I'm thinking about it.
19:08You're gonna think
19:09yourself right into
19:10a hole, brother.
19:11The more you think,
19:13the deeper you're
19:13gonna get.
19:15No, Nick,
19:16I'd say it's more
19:16like treading water,
19:18looking for a bottom
19:19that should be there
19:20but isn't.
19:20Well, I just don't see
19:21feeling sorry for Kyle's.
19:23They came here
19:24with the same chances
19:25our parents did,
19:26the same kind of land,
19:28and enough land
19:29to keep three boys
19:30out of the trouble
19:31that they're always in.
19:32Look, why don't you
19:33give some of that
19:33good advice about
19:34how to run their place
19:35to them?
19:36Because it's none
19:36of my business
19:37giving advice
19:38to people
19:38that don't want it.
19:41Jared.
19:44How long has it been
19:45since you've been
19:45out to Kyle's place?
19:47A long time.
19:48Why?
19:48Well, why don't you
19:49take a ride out there?
19:51Maybe you can find
19:52that bottom
19:52you're looking for.
20:25Good morning, Jake.
20:27Right down, Barkley.
20:30I don't look up
20:31to folks when I talk.
20:35Doesn't bother me
20:36either way.
20:39Say your piece.
20:42Tell me, Jake,
20:43why do you let a good
20:44farm go like this?
20:45It's mine.
20:47Suits me.
20:48I'm a free man.
20:50We're holding a nobody.
20:52You figure the less
20:53work you do,
20:54the freer you are?
20:57You feeling extra proud
20:59because you got all
20:59your buildings
21:00covered in white paint?
21:02There's worms
21:03under that paint.
21:05Shoot.
21:07I knew the Barclays
21:08when they was
21:09kind of dirty.
21:11And kind of neighborly.
21:13Let that be now.
21:20Good morning, boys.
21:22But you didn't come
21:23all the way over here
21:24just to insult me.
21:27Maybe you came over
21:28to tell me
21:29your so-called brother
21:30decided against testifying.
21:33No, I'm afraid not, Jake.
21:36I just came over here
21:38to see if you're having
21:38any better luck
21:39getting a lawyer for Corby.
21:41None.
21:43You all are the same stripe.
21:47Soon as one of you
21:48hears a Kyle's
21:50within 18 miles
21:52of a crime,
21:53you right away
21:54figure it's him
21:54what done the dirty work.
22:05Well, what would you say
22:06if they were within
22:06just a few feet, Jake?
22:11All right, boys.
22:12I want those silver
22:12conchers in my hand
22:13right now.
22:15You got them
22:16conchers, Emmett?
22:17No, Pa.
22:18I ain't got them.
22:19We was just standing here
22:20admiring his horse
22:21and saddle.
22:22There you go
22:23accusing my boys.
22:25Well, now,
22:25suppose we take it
22:26on the evidence, Jake.
22:28Those silver conchers
22:29were on that saddle
22:30when I rode in here.
22:31Now they're gone.
22:33Well, now,
22:33that don't prove nothing.
22:37Hand them over.
22:38Get away from me.
22:40Let go.
22:41Let go of me.
22:41I didn't do it.
22:42I didn't do it.
22:49Oh.
22:52Seems what everybody
22:53says about this family
22:54is true.
22:55You've never known
22:56an honest day's work
22:57corin' on his dollar.
23:01Just a minute, Barkley.
23:02You don't seem to know
23:03a joke when it's played
23:04on you.
23:05Corby a joke, too?
23:06Hold on, Al.
23:08Takes a brain
23:09like a slippery water snake
23:10to blame Corby
23:11for them boys' foolishness.
23:12Besides,
23:14Corby's my burden,
23:15not yours.
23:16And you seem to be
23:17doing everything
23:18in your power
23:18to keep it that way, Jake.
23:41You know,
23:42I think I'd recognize
23:43that perfume
23:44in the middle
23:44of a desert sandstorm.
23:48My, my,
23:49you look as lovely
23:50as summertime itself.
23:51Thank you.
23:52What brings you to town?
23:54Oh, the place
23:55to discuss law
23:56is in a lawyer's office,
23:57not at a breakfast table.
24:01Very well, madam.
24:02Would you please
24:04state your legal problem?
24:07Jared,
24:07there's nothing in the law
24:08that says a lawyer
24:09has to defend
24:10any special person.
24:11I mean,
24:11a lawyer has the right
24:13to refuse the case
24:14if he so chooses.
24:16If he has
24:17a good enough reason,
24:18no, there's nothing
24:19in the law
24:20that mentions
24:20he has to defend
24:21any special person.
24:23But when a lawyer
24:24takes his oath,
24:25he swears to defend
24:27justice and the Constitution.
24:32Audra says
24:32the committee believes
24:34that Mrs. Ashby
24:35will change her mind
24:36about giving the land
24:37to the home
24:38if you defend
24:39Corby Kyle.
24:41Yes,
24:42I've heard that.
24:43But in theory,
24:44that should have
24:44no bearing on the case.
24:45If you do take the case,
24:47that means you will
24:49attempt to discredit
24:49Heath's testimony.
24:53If I take the case.
24:58Jared,
24:59from the day
25:00Heath came to us,
25:02he's had to prove
25:03to the people
25:03in this valley
25:04that he's the equal
25:05of anyone,
25:06that his word counts
25:07no less than
25:08any other Barclay.
25:09Oh, Mother,
25:10don't you think
25:11I've thought about that?
25:13You know I don't
25:14want to hurt Heath,
25:15but he's told me
25:16he doesn't want
25:16to influence
25:17my decision either.
25:19Nonetheless,
25:19you will hurt him.
25:23Yes.
25:25Oh, that puts me
25:26nicely in the middle,
25:27doesn't it?
25:29Sure.
25:30I promise you,
25:31I will carefully
25:32consider everything
25:33you've said to me.
25:38Sorry to interrupt,
25:39but I think
25:40you'd like to know
25:41that the judge
25:41requested Matt Cooper
25:43to defend Kyles
25:44and Cooper agreed.
25:46Are you sure of that?
25:47Yes, sir.
25:49Well,
25:51amen to that problem.
25:53The usual
25:54tempest in the teapot,
25:55hmm?
25:55I'll see you at dinner.
25:59Well, I must say
26:00I admire your courage,
26:01Matt.
26:02Well, thank you,
26:03Mr. Barclay,
26:03but I'm not really
26:04sticking my neck out.
26:06You see,
26:06the judge promised
26:07to send a personal note
26:08to Mrs. Ashby
26:09explaining the court's
26:10position in having
26:11to assign a lawyer
26:12when the defendant
26:12couldn't get one
26:14and my obligation
26:16to accept the assignment.
26:18Still,
26:19you could have found
26:20an excuse to get out of it.
26:22Well,
26:22since the judge
26:23protected my future,
26:24I was glad
26:25to get a chance
26:25to have the experience.
26:27Well,
26:27I admire your honesty.
26:29Good luck, Matt.
26:32Mr. Barclay.
26:36Losing this case,
26:39do you think
26:40that can hurt my career?
26:41Not if you do
26:42a good job.
26:43What makes you think
26:44you're going to lose it
26:45before you've even
26:45begun your preparation?
26:46Well,
26:47I talked to Kyle.
26:48He's guilty.
26:49You can see it in his eyes.
26:50He's a killer.
27:14I'm pushed.
27:16You figure to work
27:16on that all night,
27:17do you?
27:18I want to get it fixed right.
27:20I'm sure you won't need
27:20any help.
27:21No,
27:22it's just about through,
27:22Nick.
27:23Well,
27:23I'm going out to bed.
27:24I'll see you in the morning.
27:25Night.
27:25Night.
27:26Night.
27:26Night.
27:50You better hold it right there, boy.
27:52I just as soon
27:53blast you down
27:55as look at you.
27:57What do you want?
27:58We aim to help you
28:00learn your testifying.
28:03I don't need any help.
28:04Maybe you best just say
28:06you was minding
28:06your own business
28:07the night Ashby
28:08got himself killed.
28:10Yeah.
28:11You couldn't see
28:13who it was anyways,
28:14could you?
28:18I could see.
28:25Just don't you
28:26tie in
28:27Corby Kyle's
28:28with no knife,
28:29no alley,
28:30no killing.
28:30I caught Corby red-handed.
28:32You're wrong, mister.
28:33Maybe dead wrong.
28:34You don't want to get
28:35your family into trouble,
28:36do you?
28:36If it takes
28:37burning out
28:38that fancy house
28:39over it needs
28:40killing cows,
28:41it'll be done.
28:41And that prissy
28:42sister of yours,
28:44she could easily
28:44end up on a boat
28:45to China
28:46and it's a long,
28:47long way back.
28:54Bust him!
28:58Hit him again,
28:59alley.
29:22¡Suscríbete al canal!
29:29Come back and put this brand so it'll mark you for life.
30:07What happened?
30:10Who did this?
30:11One guess.
30:13Kyles?
30:15It was them.
30:17And the boys gonna do a little visiting.
30:19Nick, you know better than to play vigilante.
30:21In this case, I wish I didn't.
30:23What'd they say?
30:25They threatened the whole family if I testify against Corby.
30:30I see.
30:32Jared, no one can stop me.
30:35I know that, Heath.
30:36And I promise you they'll be punished.
30:38And to think you were considering defending one of them.
30:44Corby is not responsible for what his family does.
30:55I'm taking a case.
30:58You can't.
30:59No.
31:00I thought Matt Cooper...
31:01He was.
31:02But what chance does a man have when his own lawyer is convinced he's guilty?
31:16I have no choice.
31:19I have no choice.
31:44I have no choice.
31:50I have no choice.
31:59¡Gracias!
32:20You're going to advise your client to plead guilty tomorrow.
32:23Maybe.
32:24And maybe since I have gone over the evidence firsthand,
32:27I've uncovered a few facts
32:29that even your newspaper didn't know about.
32:42Here's to success.
32:46In the harvest.
32:48Yeah.
32:51Audra, you look lovely.
32:53Thank you.
32:54Well, now, Audra,
32:55I've been in the county seat and a good many other places,
32:58but that's the first time I've ever seen a dress like that.
33:01Yeah, it sort of resembles that new filly,
33:02except you can see more brisket than petlock.
33:05I do believe it's one of those new horse blankets
33:07that just came out this year.
33:08You've heard about a mother.
33:09It's supposed to be good for circulation.
33:11Oh, hush up, you farmers.
33:13You wouldn't know a fancy dress from a sassafras patch.
33:18Come on, let's have dinner.
33:19Yeah.
33:25Any word from Jared?
33:27No, not a word.
33:28I wonder where he is.
33:31Excuse me, Mr. Nick,
33:33but Mr. Luke told me to tell you the time has come.
33:35Oh, cedar buns come and fall.
33:37Excuse me.
33:37You're going to hold her hoof, Nick?
33:38Yeah, something like that.
33:40Well, I'll bring you a roast beef sandwich.
33:41Thanks, Eve.
33:43Nick.
33:44Karen.
33:46Sorry I'm late.
33:47Karen.
33:48Audra.
33:54Well, I take it it's true, Mrs. Ashby's back down.
34:04And I can't really blame her.
34:06So I guess there'll be no new orphans home
34:08until we find a new piece of land.
34:11Audra, I guarantee you'll have it.
34:13No, it isn't just the land or even the money.
34:18It'll take another year to reorganize,
34:20and that's another year out of those children's lives.
34:22Honey, it won't be that long.
34:24I'll help that committee speed things up every way I can.
34:28And until then, believe me, I'm sorry.
34:33Jared, maybe it isn't your fault.
34:36Maybe it's just the times that we live in
34:38that allow children to suffer so much.
34:42Well, whatever it is, I hate it.
34:44Audra.
34:45You can.
34:58Needless to say, I'll be glad when this trial is over.
35:03You think you got a chance, Jared?
35:05Good one, based on what I've got.
35:08Only I've heard that Green has a surprise witness.
35:10That worries me.
35:12And I don't.
35:18Heath, you understand that when a lawyer takes a job,
35:21he does it any way he can.
35:24No holds barred.
35:25So that means if you can,
35:27you're going to turn me upside down and inside out.
35:30That's what it means.
35:33I'll be ready for you.
35:45Your Honor, I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
35:49that Colonel Ashby could only have received a fatal wound
35:53in the hand of the defendant.
35:56Now, Mr. Kyles,
35:58when questioned by Mr. Barkley,
36:01you stated that this here knife is your personal property.
36:08Yeah, that's my knife.
36:10I made that knife myself.
36:12And this knife belongs to you, doesn't it?
36:16I told you that that's the knife
36:18I pulled out of Colonel Ashby's stomach
36:20before I chased the Chinaman that stabbed him.
36:24In your testimony, Mr. Kyles,
36:26you said you wouldn't own a knife like this.
36:29Now, why should we believe him?
36:34Um, can I show you something?
36:48Order.
36:49Order.
36:51Order in this courtroom.
36:53Now, do you think I'd own an off-breed
36:56tote sticker like that thing there?
36:57I want no more such demonstration
37:00in this courtroom, Mr. Kyles.
37:03Satisfy yourself with answering the questions.
37:05Well, yes, sir, Judge.
37:07I'll answer them.
37:09That'll be all, Mr. Kyles.
37:13Witness dismissed.
37:16I'll call your next witness, Mr. Barkley.
37:21Your Honor, I'd like to call Mr. Asa Harmon
37:24to the stand, please.
37:25Mr. Harmon, would you state your occupation, please?
37:28I'm a special detective employed
37:30by Senator Harrison's investigating committee.
37:32And how long have you been so involved?
37:34Just a little over six months.
37:36What is the purpose of your investigation?
37:39Legislative restrictions on the importation
37:41and sale of harmful drugs.
37:43All right, Mr. Harmon,
37:44would you tell us, please,
37:45what you know of the connection
37:47between Colonel Ashby and Corby Kyles?
37:51Kyles worked for Colonel Ashby.
37:55Colonel Ashby was a member of a ring
37:57distributing opium to tongs
37:59herein' in San Francisco.
38:00Order in this court!
38:02Continue, Mr. Barkley.
38:06Mr. Harmon,
38:08are you saying that Colonel Ashby,
38:10a man of spotless reputation,
38:12was involved in the narcotics traffic?
38:14No, he was more than just involved.
38:16Colonel Ashby was one of the prime movers.
38:18And according to your information,
38:20how long was he involved in this trade?
38:22Objection!
38:23You'll not make murder any less repugnant
38:26by maligning and slandering
38:27the good name of the victim
38:28who's not here to defend himself.
38:30Your Honor,
38:31I am merely trying to establish
38:33the victim's true occupation
38:34in order to show that there might be others
38:36with stronger motives
38:37to have committed this crime.
38:40Now, I...
38:41I deeply regret bringing out
38:43this sordid background.
38:44However,
38:44I am sworn to defend my client
38:46by all possible means.
38:49Objection overruled.
38:51Please answer the question, Mr. Harmon.
38:54How long was he so involved?
38:57We have records showing
38:58that Colonel Ashby
38:59has been involved in the narcotics trade
39:01for over a period of 20 years.
39:03Then it is credible to believe
39:04that he may have made an arrangement
39:06to meet somebody else,
39:07possibly a member of the Tong,
39:08in the alley that night.
39:09Yes, sir, I would say so.
39:12Now, Mr. Harmon,
39:14would you tell us, please,
39:15what you've been able to find out
39:16about the narcotics traffic
39:17and how it operates?
39:18Yes, sir.
39:20Stuff is imported into this country,
39:22diluted, repackaged,
39:23and then distributed
39:24to various cities and communities.
39:27The original investment
39:28pays off at about 1,000% profit.
39:31The addict becomes
39:32a virtual slave to a supplier.
39:35Congress is presently
39:37working on legislation
39:37which will make
39:38the public sale
39:39of harmful drugs illegal.
39:42It's out, fella.
39:43It's out.
39:44Order.
39:50Thank you, sir.
39:51No further questions.
39:53You wish to cross-examine, Mr. Green.
39:56Thank you, Your Honor.
39:57Not at this time.
39:59That'll be all, Mr. Harmon,
40:00and thank you.
40:01You're dismissed.
40:11Are you ready to call
40:12your next witness, Mr. Barkley?
40:17I am, Your Honor.
40:21I would like to recall
40:22Mr. Heath Barkley to the stand.
40:25The court recalls
40:26Mr. Heath Barkley
40:28to the witness stand.
40:30Mr. Barkley,
40:41you're aware
40:41that having been sworn in before,
40:43you're still under oath
40:44to tell the truth.
40:45Yes, sir.
40:46Be seated.
41:05Mr. Barkley,
41:07according to your testimony
41:08earlier in this trial,
41:10you stated that the quarrel
41:11you heard from the alley
41:13sounded like such a critical matter
41:14that you felt you should interfere.
41:17That's correct.
41:19You further stated
41:20that upon entering the alley,
41:22you saw two men fighting.
41:24In the shadows.
41:25And that when you came close,
41:27one man ran away
41:28and the other slumped
41:30and fell from a knife wound
41:31in the abdomen.
41:32Is that correct?
41:33That's right.
41:36Can you tell me
41:37the location
41:38of the nearest street lamp
41:39to that alley?
41:41Street lamp?
41:44No.
41:46According to my measurements,
41:47it's 87 feet away.
41:51Over 30 feet
41:53from the entrance
41:53to that alley.
41:55Now, from that distance,
41:56that lamp couldn't shed
41:57enough light
41:58in that alley
41:58for a man to see
41:59his hand one foot
42:00in front of his face.
42:01And yet you state
42:02that you clearly saw
42:03Corby Kiles.
42:05He was in the shadows,
42:06but I know it was him.
42:08Even in the shadows?
42:09That's what I said.
42:14Now, Mr. Barkley,
42:15would you please tell us again
42:17everything that happened
42:18up to the time
42:19just before you
42:20entered the alley?
42:21I was walking along
42:22and the headlight
42:23from the San Francisco
42:24Limited passed over me.
42:26I heard a man yell
42:27and I ran into the alley
42:28to see what it was all about.
42:30Even though it was dark,
42:31I could see in the shadows
42:33clearly enough to know
42:34that it was Corby Kiles
42:36who ran.
42:38And Colonel Ashby
42:39had been stabbed.
42:41You're sure?
42:42I am.
42:44Sure enough to put a noose
42:45around the defendant's neck?
42:47Yes, I got no reason to lie.
42:48I'm not suggesting
42:49you're lying,
42:50merely that you're mistaken
42:51when you state
42:51that you clearly
42:52saw Corby Kiles
42:53running away.
42:54And I say you're dead wrong.
42:56And I intend to prove
42:57you're mistaken
42:58by showing you
42:58the shadows that you saw
42:59into were purely imaginary.
43:01They weren't imaginary!
43:02Now, you're out of order,
43:03Mr. Barkley.
43:04Now, if you speak out again,
43:05I'll order you
43:06out of this courtroom.
43:11Continue.
43:12Can you tell me
43:13what kind of a moon
43:13there was that night?
43:14No, I...
43:17don't recall
43:18what kind of moon
43:19there was.
43:20Very likely.
43:22Your Honor,
43:23I hold here in my hand
43:24a newspaper
43:24which I'll submit
43:25later in evidence
43:27which clearly states
43:28that there was
43:28no moon that night.
43:30And if there was
43:31no moon,
43:31there was no light.
43:32And if there was
43:32no light,
43:33there were no shadows.
43:34So you would have
43:35had to recognize
43:36Corby Kiles
43:36in what virtually
43:37amounts to total darkness.
43:49Now, I submit to you
43:50that this is really
43:51what happened.
43:52From the sounds
43:53you heard in the alley,
43:54it was clear to you
43:55that somebody
43:56had stabbed
43:56Colonel Ashby
43:57and run away.
43:58Now, you chased
43:59after that man
44:00in the total darkness
44:01and you stumbled
44:01on Corby Kiles.
44:03and putting his
44:04reputation together
44:05with what had happened
44:06in the alley,
44:07you assumed that it was
44:07Corby who had done
44:08the stabbing.
44:10Now, having assumed
44:11that much,
44:12your imagination
44:13took you one step further.
44:14It led you to believe
44:16that you saw more
44:17in that dark alley
44:18than it was humanly
44:19possible to see.
44:21Now, I'm going to ask
44:22you one more time.
44:24Are you absolutely sure
44:26it was Corby Kiles
44:27you saw
44:28and that it could not
44:29have been somebody else?
44:37No.
44:40I guess I'm not sure
44:41after all.
44:47That'll be all.
44:53Any further questions,
44:54Mr. Green?
44:55None, Your Honor.
45:06I guess they're going
45:07to let me go, right?
45:10Your chances
45:11look pretty good.
45:13Your Honor,
45:15I would like to call
45:16one more witness
45:17at this time.
45:18Mr. Henry Bingham.
45:22Mr. Bingham,
45:24you're a train engineer
45:25in the Northern Division,
45:26is that right?
45:27Yes, sir.
45:29Now, where were you
45:30this month
45:31on the night
45:32of the 15th
45:32at 11.30 p.m.?
45:34I was just heading
45:35number nine
45:35out for San Francisco.
45:36I was a couple
45:37of minutes late.
45:39Did you know
45:40Colonel Ashby?
45:41I'd seen him up
45:42and down the line
45:42for years.
45:45Now, Mr. Bingham,
45:46would you please
45:47tell the court
45:47in your own words
45:48exactly what you saw
45:50that night
45:50as your train
45:51left the station?
45:52Yes, sir.
45:53I'd just cleared
45:54the last switch
45:55and was watching ahead.
45:56And straight into
45:57the light of my engine
45:58I'd seen these two men
45:59fighting in the alley.
46:00Well, how long
46:01did the light
46:02from your engine
46:03shine on the fight?
46:04Couldn't say
46:05for certain.
46:07But it was long
46:07enough to see
46:08them both clear.
46:10Well, go on,
46:11Mr. Bingham.
46:12Tell us,
46:13who did you see?
46:15The one that was
46:16well-dressed
46:16I recognized
46:17right off
46:17as Colonel Ashby.
46:19The other one
46:19I recognized
46:20at the same time.
46:22What was the
46:22other man wearing?
46:24Farmhand dressed
46:25as the best
46:25I can tell you.
46:27Well, now,
46:28Mr. Bingham,
46:28I can readily understand
46:29how you might have
46:30recognized Colonel Ashby
46:31right off,
46:32but how can you
46:34be so sure
46:34of this other man?
46:35I saw his face
46:36real clear
46:37and I'd know
46:37his face
46:38from any other
46:38in a second.
46:39Oh, well,
46:41now, why is that?
46:42I'd seen him
46:43many times
46:43hanging around
46:44the station
46:44when I was
46:45changing trains.
46:46Never knew his name,
46:47but I'd never
46:48forget his face.
46:50Mr. Bingham,
46:51why has it taken
46:51you so long
46:52to come back
46:53here to testify?
46:54When I read
46:55about Heath Barkley
46:56catching him red-handed,
46:57why, I figured
46:57it was cut and dried
46:58without my having
46:59to come down here
47:00to say my piece.
47:01Then I read
47:02about the trial
47:02going on
47:03and I sent
47:03the telegram.
47:04Could you make
47:05him shut up?
47:06Could you make
47:06him shut up?
47:08Mr. Bingham,
47:09about the man
47:10you saw that night
47:11fighting with
47:12Colonel Ashby
47:13in the alley,
47:14is he here
47:15in the courtroom?
47:16He is.
47:19Would you
47:19point him out,
47:20please?
47:21I'll kill him.
47:23I swear to you,
47:24I want to kill him.
47:26That's him.
47:27The man you call
47:28Corby Kyle.
47:29He didn't do it.
47:31He didn't.
47:36What do you mean,
47:38you couldn't have
47:39seen me?
47:39I mean,
47:40nobody could have
47:41seen me do it.
47:42No, nobody
47:43could have seen me
47:44do it, huh?
47:50Get out of here!
47:52Get out of here!
47:53Get out of here!
47:53Get out of here!
47:54Get out of here!

48:06Get out of here!
48:08Get out of here!
48:11Get out of here!
48:43¡Gracias!
49:13¡Gracias!
49:18All right, I'd like to propose a little toast.
49:22Here's to big brother, who it seems is capable of making one of the biggest mistakes possible.
49:29Audrey, do you know what mistake he's talking about?
49:31No, I don't. Maybe you know, Nick.
49:34Beats me. Mother, do you know what mistake Jared's talking about?
49:37I haven't the faintest idea.
49:43Well, Jared, how about dinner?
49:44Dinner?
49:46Well, it's almost 10 o'clock. You mean you haven't eaten yet?
49:50My family's not about to have dinner tonight without you.
50:40The Day of June
51:06¡Gracias!
