10:20horse shit
10:23you're just compounding things ballard resisting an awful
10:27dag
10:27york
10:28ak
10:30york
10:45york
10:46No!
10:47No!
11:20No!
11:23Ain't none of your business, Chief! Now butt out!
11:28Ah, shit! Your ass is mine!
11:49Ah! Ah!
12:07We're all going to town.
12:11Now, Sheriff, you were telling me that this man, uh...
12:15You know who he is, Your Honor. We all know he works for Summers.
12:18Your Honor, my client has been subject to harassment by Sheriff O'Brien,
12:21who, without a warrant or any proper authorization,
12:24entered private property and held him at gunpoint.
12:27How do you answer that, Sheriff?
12:29Your Honor, the accused here today is Ballard, and not me.
12:33When I went to question Ballard regarding the charges bought by Jake Carnes,
12:37he refused to cooperate, and his men attacked me.
12:40I demand that he be charged.
12:42The Sheriff has clearly overstepped his authority.
12:44Gentlemen...
12:47Sheriff O'Brien, uh...
12:49It appears that you have overstepped those restraints
12:52that are so important to the rule of law.
12:56The court must offer some...
13:00recourse to our citizens for the abusive treatment
13:03received from overly zealous policemen.
13:06The prisoner is released on his own recognizance.
13:08Thank you, Your Honor.
13:11That's wrong, Your Honor.
13:12I know the difference between right and wrong, Sheriff.
13:15I don't need any assistance from you, or instructions.
13:19One more word, and I'll hold you in contempt.
13:22It would be wise of you in the future to closely consider your acting on impulse.
13:28It would be well within Mr. Ballard's right to bring charges against you of false imprisonment.
13:33Do I make myself clear?
13:35Yes, Your Honor.
13:38One more thing.
13:40Ms. O'Brien.
13:42Yes, Your Honor.
13:44Word travels quickly in a small town.
13:46No reputation precedes you.
13:50However, be advised, as a private citizen and not an officer of the law,
13:57you have overstepped your boundaries.
13:59You have no authority to act on behalf of the Sheriff.
14:02And if I hear of you doing so again,
14:05I'll take the appropriate measures to see you put behind bars.
14:09Do I make myself clear?
14:12Perfectly.
14:13Good.
14:16What do we have next?
14:19I'm going to go first.
14:23Someone's got that judge by the balls.
14:25Man, pardon my French.
14:27Next time I catch Ballard, cut my timber, I'll blow his head off.
14:29Don't do anything foolish, Jake.
14:34I don't know how you can deal with this situation.
14:36You can't operate effectively if the judicial system doesn't back you up.
14:41Now, I may have to call in a federal team.
14:44Can you prove that Ballard works for Summers?
14:47Well, we have to dig through the records of all those dummy corporations.
14:51I think I can.
14:53Well, I have to check in at the office.
14:55See you at home.
14:56Bye.
15:02Well, Marty, Tyler.
15:04Afternoon, sir.
15:05How'd it go in court?
15:07Not brilliantly.
15:09Sorry about that.
15:25You better close the door.
15:29You better close the door.
15:39I'll cut my credibility one more time.
15:42I can't blame Jake for wanting to take the law into his own hands.
15:57We've lost control, John.
15:59He's been drifting away from us.
16:01I think we'll have to get the feds involved.
16:03You know, I have the name of an agent assaulting.
16:05I should go up there tomorrow and see him.
16:08Yeah, what's been going on?
16:10Why'd you just call him?
16:14I'm not sure what I trust anymore.
16:17I'll leave first thing in the morning.
16:19Okay.
16:29Those were great years.
16:34Tyler's driving to Salt Lake tomorrow.
16:37We need some help to crack this thing open.
16:39You feel it's a defeat to calling the feds, don't you?
16:42Well, they don't give medals for calling in the cavalry.
16:45They give the medals to the cavalry.
16:48You know, you really know how to handle yourself.
16:52I didn't mention after that fight, but you're very good.
16:58Lots of training.
17:00Yeah, but you were always serious about that stuff, even as a kid.
17:04But now, well, it's even scary.
17:08Well, there's a lot more to it than just learning the moves.
17:10I've also been teaching.
17:15Hello?
17:18Yes, this is it.
17:26Have you called the fire department?
17:28Well, call them as soon as I hang up.
17:30What's your address?
17:31I'll come right away.
17:32I'll see you later.
17:33I'll see you later.
17:33Bye.
