## 🎬 Jack McCall, Desperado (1953) – Western | Action | Full Movie
**Jack McCall, Desperado** is a fast-moving 1953 Western adventure filmed in vivid **Technicolor**. Directed by Sidney Salkow and starring the rugged **George Montgomery**, the film offers a fictionalized, action-packed "origin story" for one of the most infamous figures in frontier history: the man who shot Wild Bill Hickok.
The production is a quintessential 1950s Saturday-matinee Western, characterized by its bright daylight cinematography, frequent fistfights, and a plot centered on a hero wrongly accused of a crime he didn't commit.

## 📖 Plot Summary
Set during the height of the American Civil War and the subsequent gold rush in the Black Hills, the story follows Jack McCall (George Montgomery), a Southerner who is framed for being a Union spy by a group of corrupt men. After being court-martialed and sentenced to death, McCall escapes and flees to the lawless territory of Deadwood, Dakota.
Driven by a need to clear his name, McCall goes undercover to hunt down the real traitors who destroyed his reputation.
**The frontier mystery features:**
* **The Hunt for the Traitor:** McCall tracks the men responsible for his disgrace, leading him into the heart of the Black Hills gold fever.
* **The Encounter with a Legend:** The film features a dramatic crossing of paths with **Wild Bill Hickok** (Douglas Kennedy), whose fate becomes inextricably linked with McCall's journey for justice.
* **A High-Stakes Romance:** McCall finds an ally in Rose of Cimarron (Angela Stevens), a brave frontier woman who helps him navigate the dangers of the outlaw camps.
* **The Final Showdown:** The narrative builds toward the legendary confrontation in a Deadwood saloon, re-imagining the historical event through the lens of a personal vendetta and a fight for survival.
---
## 🎥 Style & Legacy
* **George Montgomery’s Action Style:** Known for his physical presence and "no-nonsense" approach to Western leads, Montgomery carries the film with his signature stoic heroism.
* **Technicolor Brilliance:** The film utilizes the saturated, high-key lighting of the early 50s, ensuring that every horse chase and mountain landscape is presented with 100% visibility and vibrant color.
* **Fictionalized History:** Like many Westerns of the era, the film takes significant creative liberties with the real Jack McCall, transforming a historical villain into a sympathetic, wronged protagonist seeking redemption.
* **Stunt Choreography:** Features several well-executed barroom brawls and horseback pursuits that were the hallmark of Columbia Pictures' mid-century Western output.

00:00:28The New York Times
00:01:22Hiya, McCullough.
00:01:26How many cards, Bill?
00:01:30Hey, Hickok, how many cards?
00:01:32Hey, Hickok, how many cards?
00:02:08You're under arrest.
00:02:11What are we wasting time for?
00:02:13Let's hang him.
00:02:14Come on.
00:02:18Shut up, all of you.
00:02:20I'm running this trial.
00:02:23Go ahead, Pete.
00:02:25You admit, McCullough, when you arrived in Deadwood yesterday morning, Marshal Hickok made you his deputy.
00:02:32That's right.
00:02:33Then for no reason, you repay his friendship with a bullet.
00:02:38Hickok was no friend of mine, and I had a good reason for everything.
00:02:43That's what he says.
00:02:44Peace!
00:02:45Peace!
00:02:51I warned you, keep your mouth shut.
00:02:54If you had a reason, let him tell it.
00:02:58Keep talking, McCullough.
00:03:04All right, I'll talk.
00:03:06But it's not a pretty story.
00:03:09It goes back to the war.
00:03:12Hickok and I were in the same outfit.
00:03:15The 81st Volunteers.
00:03:17We were stationed near my home, waiting for reinforcements, avoiding contact with Confederates.
00:03:24I guess they were a lot like me.
00:03:26Born and raised in the South, but serving in the Union Army.
00:03:31Hey, Sarge.
00:03:32Yeah?
00:03:33Better requisition a new horse for the Colonel.
00:03:36By the time I finish polishing this one, there won't be anything left for him to ride.
00:03:39I'll get you a medal.
00:03:41Never mind the medal, just get me a new arm.
00:03:44Look, I volunteered to fight for the Union, and what happens?
00:03:47You make a slave out of it.
00:03:49Well, you could write your congressman.
00:03:51Wouldn't do any good, Sarge.
00:03:53Confederates aren't speaking to the McCalls these days.
00:03:57Yeah, I can't say as I blame them.
00:03:59I never have figured out why two rich Southern boys like you two should be fighting on our side anyway.
00:04:03Only one rich Southerner, Sarge.
00:04:05I'm only a poor relation.
00:04:08Pat.
00:04:09Well, your cousin could be smarter than you figure, Pat.
00:04:12You know, there's going to be a lot of rebels wake up and find out their money isn't worth anything
00:04:15once we win this war.
00:04:17My being here has nothing to do with money.
00:04:19Why, no.
00:04:20Haven't you heard, Sarge?
00:04:22He's a man of principles.
00:04:26Hey, looks like you've got a couple of wars on your hands, Mr. McCall.
00:04:30Yeah.
00:04:31I reckon I've got a better chance to win this one.
00:04:34Another polished job ought to do it.
00:04:45Colonel Burns, sir.
00:04:47What's going on?
00:04:47Courier.
00:04:48Maybe they spotted us.
00:04:48What's happening?
00:04:52You mean the 3rd Battalion is completely outflanked?
00:04:55That's right, sir.
00:04:56A detachment of rep cavalry broke through.
00:04:58They're on a prowl behind all eyes.
00:05:00Well, that's not so good.
00:05:02If those revs ever spot our position, we're in for trouble.
00:05:04Where are those reinforcements?
00:05:06They should be on their way here to relieve the 3rd Battalion now, sir.
00:05:09We've sent a man to head them off.
00:05:11Good work, soldier.
00:05:14They'll have to protect us until our lines are reformed.
00:05:18Sir.
00:05:20I know every back trail and shortcut in this part of the country.
00:05:23Well, that's right, sir.
00:05:24McCall grew up around here.
00:05:25His home's just a few miles away.
00:05:27All right, McCall.
00:05:28Get ready to leave.
00:05:28I'll have a dispatch ready for you.
00:05:30Yes, sir.
00:05:31Pull back all our advance patrols.
00:05:33Strengthen our line.
00:05:40Don't stop off for a home-cooked meal, Jack.
00:05:45Look, Pat, there's something I want to say to you.
00:05:48Sounds like your last will and testament coming up.
00:05:50In a way, it is.
00:05:52Or maybe it's just a reminder of a debt you owe.
00:05:54You'll never let me forget that, will you?
00:05:56I was speaking of my mother and father.
00:05:58You seem to be the only one who resents all they've done for you.
00:06:01Certainly they don't.
00:06:02They know how much I appreciate everything.
00:06:04I hope so.
00:06:05You may have a chance to prove it.
00:06:07If something happens to me, you'll be all they have left.
00:06:10They'll need you.
00:06:13I'll, uh, I'll remember, Jack.
00:06:16Good luck.
00:06:17Thanks.
00:06:24Ready, sir.
00:06:26Get this through to Major Thompson.
00:06:28Yes, sir.
00:06:29I don't have to tell you how important those reinforcements are to us.
00:06:31I'll do my best, sir.
00:07:18Hold there. Hold. Hold.
00:07:21Larry ran into you, soldier.
00:07:23We've been trying to contact the Union forces for hours.

00:09:00I'm ready for the next time.
00:09:16Everybody, home!
00:09:18Urgent dispatch from headquarters for Major Thompson.
00:09:21I'm Major Thompson.
00:09:28How far away is it?
00:09:30About five miles, sir.
00:09:31Lead the way, soldiers.
00:09:33My buddy, home!
00:09:57Colonel!
00:10:05Sound retreat! Fall back!
00:10:24Fall back!
00:10:56Fall back!
00:10:58Fall back!
00:11:00Fall back!
00:11:02Fall back!
00:11:02Fall back!
00:11:12I still can't understand how they swallowed after the shoot without running into one of our patrols.
00:11:17Better save you the wounded.
00:11:20Colonel, we found this map on the body of a rep sergeant.
00:11:23Map?
00:11:24Yes, sir.
00:11:26Leading straight to our position.
00:11:29Look on the other side of it, sir.
00:11:37McCaw!
00:11:38That southern turnt.
00:11:39I thought he was too anxious to volunteer.
00:11:42A rebel spy is more useful with a blue uniform.
00:12:00I'm sorry we were late, sir.
00:12:03You're under arrest, McCaw.
00:12:05Arrest?
00:12:05Cut your face.
00:12:06You'll conduct the prisoner to Fort Mason, Sergeant, where you'll await court-martial proceedings.
00:12:10Yes, sir.
00:12:11Court-martial, what is he talking about?
00:12:12Why?
00:12:13Even a red stripe gets a trial in this man's army.
00:12:17All right.
00:12:27Hey, boy, let's see.
00:12:30Among the soldiers, please.
00:12:30Bye, come back, are you?
00:12:33Come back.
00:12:34Eat on the fish.
00:12:36Love.
00:12:37Need to go, let's see.
00:12:37I'm going back.
00:12:37Bye.
00:12:44Bye.
00:15:01It was McCall, but I winged him, Sarge.
00:15:03Get my squad on the double.
00:15:08He's probably heading for home.
00:15:11Then you can lead the way.
00:15:28You can call it a trial.
00:15:30Well, it was almost over with the reading of the charges.
00:15:33Thanks, brother.
00:15:35They wouldn't listen to you at all?
00:15:37The map and the fact that I'm a southerner was all they needed, all they wanted.
00:15:40They had a firing squad picked before I reached the witness stand.
00:15:43What do you do, Jack?
00:15:44They'll be hunting you like an animal.
00:15:47Well, it'll be easier than what both of you will have to face.
00:15:50Things were bad enough when I joined the Union Army.
00:15:52Now both sides think I'm a traitor.
00:15:54You'll be needing this.
00:15:56Thanks, Dad.
00:15:57I still think you should rest here till morning.
00:15:59This would be the first place they'd look.
00:16:01But I had to tell you what really happened.
00:16:03We wouldn't have believed them anyway, Jack.
00:16:07Don't worry about me, Mother.
00:16:09I may have to hide out till after the war is over,
00:16:11but I'll keep in touch with you some way.
00:16:26They didn't waste much time in getting here.
00:16:29Let them in, Dad.
00:16:30I'll slip out the back door.
00:16:44You'd better wait here, Mother.
00:16:55Open up!
00:16:57Open up!
00:17:08Search everywhere.
00:17:11We want Jack McCall.
00:17:12You won't find him here.
00:17:14Get out.
00:17:15And, Bat, you can get out for good.
00:17:17That's Jack's room up at the head of the stairs.
00:17:19Get out of this house!
00:17:20Take it easy, old man.
00:17:21Stay away from that room.
00:17:22I warned you!
00:17:24Look out.
00:17:25He's going for a gun.

00:22:25My fear of being captured and shot.
00:22:27My name.
00:22:41Finally, peace.
00:22:44The Confederate cavalry had been demobilized.
00:22:48I was not able to locate Colonel Cornish until I learned that his home was in New Orleans.
00:23:01I'm sorry, McCall.
00:23:02There's nothing I can do for you.
00:23:04The war is over.
00:23:06For you, Colonel, yes, but not for me.
00:23:09My testimony wouldn't help you.
00:23:11I remember the man bringing the map in, but you'd need his word as to how he got it.
00:23:15Where can I find him?
00:23:17Hasn't there been enough killing?
00:23:18That man was only doing his duty as a soldier and doing it well.
00:23:22I know that, sir.
00:23:24I'm not looking for revenge.
00:23:26I need him to testify for me.
00:23:28A court marshal sentenced me to death.
00:23:30Surely, Colonel.
00:23:31Colonel, the honor of a man's name and family is something you can understand.
00:23:39All right, McCall.
00:23:42The man's name is Spargo.
00:23:46I don't care how long you've been looking for me.
00:23:48I'm not interested.
00:23:50I got my own problems.
00:23:52By a thunder.
00:23:53Be another drink.
00:23:55I'll give you all the whiskey you could handle.
00:23:57Just do as I ask.
00:23:59Look, I told you I'm not interested.
00:24:01There's a thousand dollars in gold waiting for me at home.
00:24:05It's all yours when we get there.
00:24:09A thousand dollars in gold?
00:24:11Just for writing a day and a night.
00:24:16Bartender.
00:24:19Give him a friend a drink.
00:24:26Mister, you made yourself a deal.
00:24:38Come on.
00:24:49And I don't have a girlfriend.
00:24:49Let's andare for the TOMORP.
00:24:50I'll shout to the guy.
00:24:50And I like it too.
00:24:51I'll get her to the room.
00:24:52Come on.
00:24:52Let's go.
00:24:52See you next time.
00:24:59Here it is.
00:25:01Say, do you see what I see?
00:25:08Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:25:09Afternoon.
00:25:11Looks like you could use some help.
00:25:12My horse is bolted.
00:25:14Oh, that doesn't even make horse sense.
00:25:16What horse is gonna leave a beautiful girl like you, huh?
00:25:18That's enough, Spargo.
00:25:19Oh, wait a minute, McCall. I saw her first.
00:25:22I said that's enough.
00:25:24Say, aren't you forgetting something?
00:25:26There's no reason for me to help you out of this fix you're in.
00:25:28I can think of a thousand of them.
00:25:30All gold.
00:25:34Where are you headed for, ma'am?
00:25:35Town.
00:25:36I was on my way back from visiting my brother in the army hospital.
00:25:39Do you live in Bentonville?
00:25:40No, I have to catch a stage there.
00:25:43I'll see that you get there without any trouble.
00:25:48Is this all you have?
00:26:00Come on, boy.
00:26:12Tired?
00:26:14A little.
00:26:16It's been a long day.
00:26:20There aren't many men who would have taken the time to help me.
00:26:24Oh, I don't know.
00:26:26I guess the war has changed a lot of things.
00:26:30But I'd like to think people are still the same.
00:26:33A lot more good ones than bad.
00:26:36That's easy for a man to say.
00:26:39Yeah, I guess you had plenty of chance to learn otherwise.
00:26:44Why do you say that?
00:26:46It's a long way to Atlanta.
00:26:49Traveling alone, it couldn't have been easy.
00:26:53No, it hasn't been easy.
00:26:57Starting tomorrow, we're both going home.
00:27:01You better get some sleep now.
00:27:04Good night, and thanks again.
00:27:24You know what I think?
00:27:26You think exactly what I want you to do, Bat.
00:27:29I still say we ought to pull in our horns.
00:27:32After all, we've done well.
00:27:33Why press our luck?
00:27:35Done well?
00:27:36We haven't even started.
00:27:41Look at them.
00:27:46The choice dregs of the war.
00:27:58One of the other men coming.
00:28:00Tomorrow.
00:28:02You'll start for Kansas City as soon as they're rested up.
00:28:05You make it sound awful easy.
00:28:07It is easy when you're holding the passkey to the richest gold field in the Dakotas.
00:28:11A lot of other men have thought the same thing.
00:28:13The Indians drove mob as fast as they moved in.
00:28:15Yeah, well, they just didn't use their heads.
00:28:18See, you've got to make friends with the Sioux.
00:28:21Why do you think I took that job as marshal of Deadwood City?
00:28:24Because I like being stuck in a little flea-bitten town on the edge of the reservation.
00:28:28I've got to hand it to you at that, Bill.
00:28:30Making the Indians think you were helping them by driving out the whites.
00:28:34Only the whites who try to get in a painted valley.
00:28:37I let the others give the Indians a little grief.
00:28:40Just so they'll realize it's not too easy for me.
00:28:43So our gold land is still untouched.
00:28:45Naturally.
00:28:46Then when you come along with that gang of cutthroats and all those guns you're going to pick up in
00:28:50Kansas City, I'm helpless.
00:28:53So I have to advise our Indian friends to sell out to you.
00:28:57Sounds simple enough if the government doesn't interfere.
00:29:00Why should they?
00:29:01They gave the Sioux the land, they moved the army out, and with it their authority.
00:29:04But if there's trouble, they might move back.
00:29:07By that time, we'll have all the gold we want.
00:29:22Why are we turning here?
00:29:23It's my home.
00:29:25Jack, stop.
00:29:26Oh, why?
00:29:28I think perhaps I should go on from here.
00:29:30I don't think I should take the time to stop.
00:29:32Why, you can't save any time that way.
00:29:34Besides, you need some rest.
00:29:35Oh, I must be going.
00:29:37Wait, I promise I'll get you into town faster than you can do it by yourself.
00:29:41I'll miss the stage.
00:29:42Jack, please, I really can walk from here.
00:29:45Why, it's a good ten miles into town.
00:29:47You'd never make it.
00:29:48Let's get a move on, will you?
00:29:49I got a date with a thousand dollars.
00:30:05Hi, sister.
00:30:06Join the fun.
00:30:07Drinks are on the house.
00:30:13Well, look who's coming.
00:30:24It is now innocent little Rosie.
00:30:26Have you picked any more pockets lately?
00:30:28Let her go.
00:30:31Pour it.
00:30:34Start explaining mister and you better make it good.
00:30:39I was only after what's mine.
00:30:41She stole my role in Kansas City.
00:30:45What about it, Rose?
00:30:50Here's your dirty money.
00:30:51And this is the little lady I wasn't good enough to touch, huh?
00:30:59What are you men doing here?
00:31:00We were invited by Bat McCall.
00:31:03Where is he?
00:31:04You've got a lot of questions for a stranger, ain't you?
00:31:12Mr. Jack.
00:31:16Mr. Jack.
00:31:17Hello, Sam.
00:31:18Mr. Jack, they all said you was dead.
00:31:20Where are the folks?
00:31:22Baseball.
00:31:24Gone?
00:31:24Where?
00:31:27Killed the night you was here.
00:31:31Killed.
00:31:37Sam?
00:31:41Sam?
00:31:42Who are you talking to?
00:31:55Jack.
00:31:56Jack, I thought you were...
00:31:58Murdered like my mother and father?
00:32:00No, no, Jack.
00:32:00You got it all wrong.
00:32:02We figured you were a spy.
00:32:02It was my job to go after you.
00:32:04Fine, Pat.
00:32:05No, no, Jack.
00:32:06No.
00:32:08Who killed him?
00:32:09I don't know, Jack.
00:32:10You were here.
00:32:10I don't know.
00:32:11Who killed him?
00:32:11I don't know.
00:32:13Who killed him?
00:32:13Who killed him?
00:32:14I don't know, Jack.
00:32:15I don't know.
00:32:21All right, Mr. You ask.
00:32:22Now, wait a minute.
00:32:25The government's been waiting a long time to hang this man.
00:32:28Turn him over to the U.S. Marshal at Bentonville.
00:32:31I'll be back for you, Bat.
00:32:33Stick with me, Fargo.
00:32:39Just a minute, Mr. Spargo.
00:32:47Let's see.
00:32:47You and I have a little talk, huh?
00:32:50I'd have been a fool to come back without positive evidence to clear me.
00:32:54All I know is you were tried and convicted.
00:32:56Then talk to my witness.
00:32:58He'll prove everything I've said is true.
00:33:00I have talked to him.
00:33:02Bring him in.
00:33:15Hiya, McCall.
00:33:16I'm sorry to see you in a spot like this, Spargo.
00:33:19Tell him how you got that map from me during the battle.
00:33:22I already have.
00:33:23You met me in the woods and gave me the map just like we planned.
00:33:28What?
00:33:29Well, it's no use, McCall.
00:33:30They knew you were a spy, same as I do.
00:33:33You're lying.
00:33:36He's lying, I tell ya.
00:33:39All right, Spargo.
00:33:40He's lying.
00:33:41He's lying.
00:33:43He's lying, I tell ya.
00:34:05I did my part.
00:34:07It was cheap at twice the price.
00:34:09There'll be plenty more in it for you when the other job is finished.
00:34:12When do we leave?
00:34:13At daybreak, we pick up the guns and ammunition in Kansas City and we're on our way.
00:34:26But I've got to see him.
00:34:28We were supposed to have been married tomorrow.
00:34:31The only knot that's going to be tied tomorrow is in the rope around his neck.
00:34:34No, no.
00:34:37Oh, please.
00:34:39Let me see him.
00:34:41It's not too much to ask.
00:34:43Not at a time like this.
00:34:44Well, okay, okay.
00:34:46If it'll stop your squawking.
00:34:48But just for a minute.
00:34:53Hey, McCall.
00:34:54You can talk to your fiancé for a minute.
00:34:58My fiancé?
00:35:00Ain't that what you...
00:35:01I said open up.
00:35:03Quick.
00:35:08Now get inside.
00:35:19The marshal needs you.
00:35:21Hurry.
00:35:34Get the horses.
00:35:35Get the horses.
00:35:44Come on.
00:36:23Thanks, Rose.
00:36:25This just evens up the score.
00:36:27All right, if that's the way you feel.
00:36:31Now, it's all clear now. You better get going.
00:36:33Where would you suggest?
00:36:35Back to the cell the marshal has waiting for me?
00:36:38That's your business.
00:36:39My plans don't call for a fiancée.
00:36:42Neither do mine. I had to make up something, didn't I?
00:36:45You're pretty good at that, aren't you?
00:36:46First you make up a sick brother, then a big home in Atlanta.
00:36:49All right, so they don't exist anymore.
00:36:51What do you expect me to do?
00:36:52Wear a brand on my forehead?
00:36:57I'm sorry.
00:36:59I don't blame anyone but myself.
00:37:02It's just that, well, sometimes, I guess, if a person's desperate enough, they'll do anything.
00:37:11Yeah, I know.
00:37:13What are we going to do?
00:37:15I've got to go back.
00:37:16What for?
00:37:17Find Bat.
00:37:18You won't find him there.
00:37:20He and Sparger were leaving for Kansas City at daybreak.
00:37:23How'd you know?
00:37:23I heard them talking.
00:37:25They're going in to pick up a shipment of guns.
00:37:28So that's how Bat got Sparger to frame me.
00:37:31They're in some kind of a deal together.
00:37:33It looks that way.
00:37:34We'd better get started.
00:37:36We?
00:37:38One town's as good as another to me.
00:37:40Besides, they're my horses.
00:37:42Where'd you get them?
00:37:43I found them.
00:37:44In the marshal's stable.
00:37:46Found them?
00:37:46Now I'm a horse thief, too.
00:37:50They can only hang us once.
00:37:53Well, now all we need to tide us over until we get to Kansas City is a little money.
00:37:57And some clothes?
00:37:59Yeah.
00:38:00After you.
00:38:30All right, drop that.
00:38:33Get out, everybody, and keep your hands up.
00:38:37Climb down.
00:38:43Keep your hands up, and nobody will be hurt.
00:38:46Get rid of that, too.
00:38:48Check their luggage for size.
00:38:53Where's your luggage?
00:38:54Back there.
00:38:58Sorry, folks.
00:39:00I'm going to have to make a little loan.
00:39:02You, sir.
00:39:03Yes, sir.
00:39:04Come here.
00:39:04Yes, sir.
00:39:07Look like your pocketbook is the fattest.
00:39:09Let's have it.
00:39:10Yes, sir.
00:39:16How much you got in here?
00:39:18Almost $3,000.
00:39:19Good.
00:39:20Then you won't miss a hundred.
00:39:22Thank you, sir.
00:39:23It's all right.
00:39:27Yeah, very attractive.
00:39:29Get your horse.
00:39:32All right, folks.
00:39:33Turn around and keep your hands up.
00:40:02They're guns, all right.
00:40:04What do you think you're going to do with them?
00:40:06Bat and Spargo aren't going to do anything with them.
00:40:08You're not going to shoot them down, are you?
00:40:10You heard what happened to my folks.
00:40:12You still need Spargo.
00:40:14I'll give him a chance to talk.
00:40:16Wait here.
00:40:26Aren't you loaded yet?
00:40:28Who are you?
00:40:29I work for Bat McCall.
00:40:31He said he wouldn't be here till noon.
00:40:33What's the rush?
00:40:34They'll be loaded on time.
00:40:36That's all I wanted to know.
00:40:38Hey, uh, what kind of trouble you fellas
00:40:40expected in Deadwood City anyway?
00:40:42Deadwood City?
00:40:43Why?
00:40:43You got enough shooting iron here
00:40:45to start a private war.
00:40:46It is private.
00:40:57They'll be in this afternoon.
00:40:59Now what?
00:41:00They'll probably rest up at the hotel.
00:41:02Well, I want to be there to welcome them.
00:41:24Joe, check the stuff at the warehouse.
00:41:27One of you men take care of these horses.
00:41:29The rest of you stay close by
00:41:31and keep out of trouble.
00:41:32Come on, Spargo.
00:41:37Get your luggage and check us out.
00:41:41You know where to bring the horses?
00:41:42Yes.
00:41:43Hurry.
00:41:46Come on.
00:42:01Better get some rest, Spargo.
00:42:03See you later.
00:42:31Come on, Spargo.
00:42:36We're leaving our bill, please.
00:43:01Look, it's the woman who held us up.
00:43:02Sure is. Just a minute, lady.
00:43:06Hold on, lady. You're under arrest.
00:43:08Keep your hand gone.
00:43:10She's wearing my hand and my dress.
00:43:12Where's the man that was with you?
00:43:14I don't know what you're talking about. I came here alone.
00:43:16Is that right, mister? Did she come here alone?
00:43:18No, she checked in with the man, room 14.
00:43:37I tell you, I don't know what you're talking about. I came alone.
00:43:40Have a look, Fred.
00:43:43Better go.
00:43:49Get in the coach.
00:43:52Get in the coach.
00:44:39This is...
00:44:54Get ready to jump.
00:44:58Now!
00:45:32Let's go!
00:45:34Let's go!
00:45:38Let's go!
00:45:42Ah, we lost them. Pick up the wagons and let's get out of here. Come on.
00:45:51Now what?
00:45:52They'll be heading for Deadwood City.
00:45:55They'll be expecting you to follow them, you know.
00:45:58They can always expect that.
00:46:01Wait here. I'll get the horses.
00:46:14Let's go.
00:46:44They're crossing into Dakota.
00:47:23Jack!
00:47:28Jack!
00:47:36Are you all right?
00:47:47Jack!
00:47:47Jack!
00:47:47Jack!
00:47:47Jack!
00:47:49Jack!
00:47:52Let's go.
00:48:19Climb on it.
00:48:21I'm sorry, Jack.
00:48:28They can only put distance between us.
00:48:31They'll never get away.
00:49:05Hello, Bill.
00:49:06Hi, Bats, Bargo.
00:49:08You boys made good time.
00:49:10I wasn't expecting you for a couple of days.
00:49:12It's not hard to push men that have got gold fever as bad as these men.
00:49:15Who's that?
00:49:16Him?
00:49:16Oh, he's one of those fools I was telling you about.
00:49:19Tried to dig a little of our gold out of Painted Valley.
00:49:22Bill, I got something to tell you.
00:49:23There'll be plenty of time to tell you.
00:49:25This is important.
00:49:26Now, look, you boys get your camp set up.
00:49:28Right now, I've got to pay a little visit to my friend, Chief Redcloud.
00:49:31Just let him know I'm still on the job.
00:49:34I'll see you tonight.
00:49:35All right.
00:49:36All right.
00:49:39All right.
00:50:09Another white man, Redcloud.
00:50:15One white man.
00:50:16I lose six braids.
00:50:21Six men who try to live in peace on land of their fathers.
00:50:25I'm sorry, Redcloud.
00:50:26I do the best I can, but it's not good enough.
00:50:28This reservation is too large for me to cover by myself.
00:50:32Marshal Hickok, good friend, you try to stop white men.
00:50:36I try, but it's getting worse.
00:50:38Many men arrive in Painted Valley with many guns.
00:50:41Many men?
00:50:43Maybe we get help from Great White Father.
00:50:46No, I, uh, I talked to Great White Father in Washington.
00:50:50He's much too busy with many problems to help the Sioux.
00:50:53You bring bad news of men with guns.
00:50:55Well, it doesn't have to be bad news, Redcloud.
00:50:59Sell them.
00:51:00Sell them the land they want.
00:51:01Sell?
00:51:02Be paid with our own gold?
00:51:04No.
00:51:06We drive them out.
00:51:07My son, I make treaty with white men.
00:51:10Sioux get this land.
00:51:12No, make war.
00:51:13I give promise.
00:51:15I keep promise.
00:51:16What about white man's promise?
00:51:18They promised to leave.
00:51:20Now they would destroy us.
00:51:22Not all of them, Gray Eagle.
00:51:24I do not mean our brother.
00:51:26There will be no war.
00:51:28Are these men in Painted Valley then to have their own way?
00:51:31My husband, your father is right.
00:51:34We must make peaceful settlement.
00:51:36That's right.
00:51:37I will try to reason with them.
00:51:39All right.
00:51:59There's enough gold in this valley to make us all rich.
00:52:04Once we get the Indians on the run, the rest is gonna be easy.
00:52:08Now, as far as I'm concerned, you men don't know me.
00:52:13I represent the law around here.
00:52:16And you men are poaching on Sioux territory, understand?
00:52:20I only came here to represent the Indians to reason with you.
00:52:25Now, go ahead and unpack your reasons.
00:52:32A few raids, a few more dead Redskins, and Chief Redcloud will be glad to take my advice and sell.
00:52:38Sure got it figured out.
00:52:40It can't miss.
00:52:52Bill, I'm still worried.
00:52:53What about Jack? We'll take care of that when we come to it.
00:52:57That's all right for you to say. I tell you he's out to kill me.
00:53:01Well, then maybe you better not hang around here too long.
00:53:04Take the men and go after Gray Eagle.
00:53:06If we get him, the Sioux will quit coal.
00:53:11I'll take care of Cousin Jack.
00:53:48Get off.
00:54:14Get off.
00:54:16Get down.
00:54:17Get down.
00:54:19Get down.
00:54:49You're safe now.
00:54:51Gray Eagle, son of Chief Red Cloud,
00:54:54thanks you for his life.
00:54:56Name is McCall, Jack McCall.
00:54:57Now to have another white friend in the Dakotas.
00:55:01Another white friend?
00:55:03Until now, Hickok only friend.
00:55:06Wild Bill Hickok? Up here?
00:55:11You know him?
00:55:14Yeah.
00:55:18So does Bat.
00:55:21Where can we find him?
00:55:23Deadwood City.
00:55:25Pick a good marshal. Fight for my people.
00:55:28Didn't seem to do any too well around here.
00:55:30These men just come.
00:55:32They have many guns.
00:55:34Yeah, I know all about that.
00:55:36How does Hickok figure into this?
00:55:38He tried to tell them they're Sioux land.
00:55:40They make more trouble.
00:55:42They're too many to handle.
00:55:44The marshal need help.
00:55:46I can see that.
00:55:51You keep.
00:55:53All Sioux will know, Gray Eagle, your friend.
00:56:01This Hickok, is he a friend of yours?
00:56:05That's what I'm gonna find out.
00:56:07Let's go have a talk with Mr. Hickok.
00:56:12I want the truth, Hickok.
00:56:13And I want it now.
00:56:15That's what I gave you.
00:56:17I don't know how your folks are killed.
00:56:19You were there.
00:56:20I saw you.
00:56:21You chased me as far as the river.
00:56:22I don't deny that.
00:56:23But I was just doing a job the same as all the other soldiers.
00:56:27Since when has the army resorted to killing innocent men and women?
00:56:30What possible reason would I have for wanting to harm them?
00:56:33I don't know anymore about your family's death.
00:56:36I suppose you didn't know Bat was on his way to Deadwood City either.
00:56:39No, I didn't.
00:56:40And every drifter for 500 miles is coming to Deadwood.
00:56:43After that Indian gold, the whole territory's crawling with guns and trouble.
00:56:48I've been fighting that kind of trouble for the past couple of months.
00:56:50Fighting for the Sioux.
00:56:52It's not easy maintaining law and order in a town where there aren't a handful of men you dare turn
00:56:56you back on.
00:56:57But I'm just trying to do a job, same as I did in the army.
00:57:00If you weren't holding that gun on me, I'd still be doing that job.
00:57:04How? By arresting me?
00:57:07Well, I guess I can't prove anything with words.
00:57:10If you came 500 miles just to kill me, I can't stop you now.
00:57:14I came to get Bat and a man named Spargo.
00:57:18Now, ain't that too bad. Get him up.
00:57:24Thanks, Tom. I'll take it from here.
00:57:29Now, what happens from now on depends on you, mister.
00:57:33I need your help.
00:57:37Yeah? How?
00:57:39You say Bat's got a whole army of men with him.
00:57:41That's more than I can handle alone.
00:57:43If the odds are that great, there isn't much I could do to change them.
00:57:47Maybe not. By yourself.
00:57:52Chief Red Cloud can gather enough braves who'll be willing to fight to defend their land.
00:57:56I want you to go get him.
00:57:58What makes you think I can get Red Cloud to go on the warpath?
00:58:02That necklace will be all the persuading you'll need.
00:58:05Where'd you get it?
00:58:07Gray Eagle.
00:58:08He saved his life a little while ago.
00:58:11Well, then, if I know the Sioux, they'd be willing to do almost anything you ask.
00:58:14Particularly if you tell them you're working for me.
00:58:17Look, I told you I'm only interested in getting two men.
00:58:20Yeah, Bat and Spargo are mixed up with that gang of cutthroats.
00:58:25Tell you what, I'll do everything I can to help prove that they framed you.
00:58:29Now, what do you say?
00:58:32All right, fine.
00:58:34You go get the Indians and meet me at the head of Painted Valley about dawn.
00:58:37I'll bring what men I can trust from Deadwood with me.
00:58:40Oh, here.
00:58:42You better have this just to make it official.
00:58:45But remember, that badge doesn't give you the right to kill Bat or Spargo without a hearing.
00:58:52I'll worry about getting them first.
00:58:54Come on, Rose.
00:59:01Hickok agrees with me.
00:59:03Believe me, Red Cloud, these men will never leave.
00:59:05They'll slaughter your people unless you drive them out.
00:59:08Let me gather braves, Father.
00:59:09Let me go with white men.
00:59:11You're not breaking a treaty, Red Cloud.
00:59:13It's these men who have broken it.
00:59:18My son, young men like you and old men like me reason with different wisdoms.
00:59:25Who can say which greater, dreams of wisdom in age or fires of youth?
00:59:31Take only enough warriors to show white men our strength.
00:59:35Surprise them.
00:59:36Destroy their weapons.
00:59:37Make them leave.
00:59:39Make them understand that we want peace.
00:59:43Make ready, my son.
01:00:18Whadda.
01:00:19What was it Sir Walter Scott said?
01:00:22And love is the loveliest when embalmed in tears.
01:00:27Looks like that palatial mansion had a library in it too.
01:00:31You still don't believe me, do you, about my home in Atlanta?
01:00:35You said yourself it doesn't exist.
01:00:38Not anymore.
01:00:40But it was all there once.
01:00:43Stately and fine.
01:00:46I'd like to believe that.
01:00:49Make what you like.
01:00:51But it was there.
01:00:53And it was beautiful.
01:01:01Then what?
01:01:03The war passed through Atlanta.
01:01:05And I crawled out of the ashes.
01:01:09That doesn't matter anymore.
01:01:21You all know your jobs.
01:01:23I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:01:26What happens from there on is up to you.
01:01:38Go, my son.
01:02:14I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:15I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:15I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:15I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:17I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:17I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:18I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:19I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:19I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:20I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:21I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:23I'm going to meet the Indians in a couple of hours.
01:02:57It took you long enough to get here.
01:02:59He's all the braves you could bring enough braves for the job. You didn't do so well yourself
01:03:05Told you there aren't many men in Deadwood. I can trust short of rifles, too. That is good
01:03:11My father wants no bloodshed
01:03:14Let's hope your father gets his wish
01:03:32And you don't even know how to survive
01:03:33No
01:03:33No
01:03:47No
01:03:48No
01:03:49No
01:03:49No
01:04:13They're still asleep.
01:04:14Make things that much easier.
01:04:17Remember what I said, McCall.
01:04:19That badge is still no license of murder.
01:04:21Hold your fire till we get inside the camp.
01:05:11Hold your fire till we get inside the camp.
01:05:18All right.
01:05:22All right.
01:05:44Now!
01:05:50Hey, back to town.
01:05:55Get back!
01:05:57Get back!
01:06:06Get back!
01:06:13Get back!
01:06:28Get back, get back!
01:07:07Indian has no white thread, Indian will be afraid, not only the suits, get down!
01:07:24You're coming!
01:07:25Get back, get back, get back!
01:07:28Get back!
01:07:29Get back!
01:07:29Come on.

01:08:41Come on.
01:09:02Come on.
01:09:38Come on.
01:10:01Come on.
01:10:29Come on.
01:10:31Come on.
01:11:06Come on.
01:11:11Who did it?
01:11:13Who did it?
01:11:16Hickok.
01:11:17Hickok killed your father.
01:11:32I killed your mother.
01:11:35And now I'm going to make sure of you.
01:11:45Who did it?
01:12:00Who did it?
01:12:13Go back to your camp.
01:12:14Tell your father there will be no more bloodshed.
01:12:17I have the answer in one bullet.
01:12:45I have the answer in one bullet.
01:12:51I have the answer in one bullet.
01:12:52I guess Devin should be back by now.
01:12:54I'm not worried, are you?
01:12:56I saw what was happening when we left.
01:12:58Yeah, but it's sure taken him a long time to finish it.
01:13:01Ew.
01:13:07Hiya, McCarl.
01:13:13How many cards, Bill?
01:13:18Hey, Hickok, how many cards?
01:13:40Come on.
01:13:43That's the whole story.
01:13:46Now the debt's paid.
01:13:51You men of the jury, go in the other room and bring back a verdict.
01:14:00How about you?
01:14:01How about you?
01:14:02How about you?
01:14:06How about you?
01:14:08How about you?
01:14:12We got our verdict, Judge.
01:14:14No need to waste any more time.
01:14:17He's innocent.
01:14:23Sparkle!
01:14:29Come on, son.
01:14:31Goodbye.
01:14:47I'll call you again.
01:14:47How about you?
01:14:47I'm still in the next day.
01:14:47I'm still in the next day.
01:14:47See you soon.
01:14:47Bye, bye.
01:14:51Bye.
01:15:06Hello, Barley. Hello, Sam. Welcome home, Mr. McCall.
