03:49oh gents these are two of the finest coppers in the country and yet I can still shoot better than
03:56them oh well there's more to policing than shooting firearms well that sounds like an excuse to me
04:02tell me what do you say a dime if you make the shot
04:14help help it's coming from the arena come on Murdoch look out police coming through
04:21there's a rider down sir he's from the top of my horse

04:40you killed my brother
04:42take him away let's get him out of here
04:47remind me enough to come on holiday with you again
05:07why are you blaming that cowboy
05:09because he was supposed to distract the horse
05:11if the rider falls and help the rider out of the pen
05:13he just stood there damn him
05:18did you see what happened
05:20sure I saw my brother got thrown and I saw him do nothing
05:23what can I do
05:25horse was on him before I could reach him
05:27what are you talking about I saw you out there
05:29you could have helped
05:30I know you're looking to be mad at someone
05:32it ain't me
05:34sorry Luke
05:38you should arrest him
05:40go out of the arena
05:41calm down and take a breath
05:43go on
05:48sir I've just seen something very strange
05:50the dead man's pupils are dilated
05:54isn't that natural after death
05:55not immediately
05:56my best guess is that they were dilated before he passed
06:02perhaps mr. wild was under the influence of some kind of drug
06:05maybe he took something before the ride
06:09or someone else drugged him
06:23ellis boom
06:23i've seen him at a few rodeos
06:25luke wild holds him responsible for his brother's death
06:28everybody's mad at ellis
06:31if murdoch is right and roy was drugged
06:34how likely is it that ellis was involved in his death
06:36i don't know him all that well
06:38but folks say he has a temper
06:40i want to talk to him
06:41yeah you and about a hundred other cowboys
06:44that's probably why he's made himself scarce
06:47tom
06:48this here is tom three persons
06:50hell of a bronc rider
06:51tom brackenreed
06:53toronto police
06:55we're looking for this pickup man mr. boom
06:58i'm looking for him too
06:59what the hell is he doing
07:01standing around when roy went down
07:02so you heard what happened
07:05yeah
07:06and you can talk to him after
07:07i finish tearing the strip off
07:09if i can find him
07:10you won't be tearing the strip off anyone
07:13for now this is police business
07:14so you stay out of it
07:17see
07:18maybe not the best way to make friends around here
07:20i'll tell you what
07:21friends are overrated
07:23well
07:23i am headed to the bar for a drink
07:26would you care to join
07:27in normal circumstances miss oakley
07:30i would love to
07:30but i need to find this mr. boom
07:32before someone else does
07:36why don't you tell that tidy detective
07:38that there's still a dime on the line
07:39whenever he's ready
07:40don't underestimate murder
07:53don't
07:53serge what are you doing here
07:56i thought i might speak with you
07:59it's been a while since we last saw each other you never returned my messages there's been a lot
08:06going on i need your help as a detective there's a problem with my boss mr sands at dario's i
08:14think
08:15he's in some kind of trouble what kind of trouble last week i saw him arguing with two men in
08:21the
08:21alley at the back of the restaurant what was the argument about i couldn't hear and today they came
08:26back and roughed him up who were these men he wouldn't tell me and he wouldn't tell me what
08:32they want so you'd like me to find out it must be serious after he cleaned up he said he
08:40was thinking
08:40of closing down for good but mr sands loves his restaurant and you're worried about him i've
08:48worked with him for the last three years he's been good to me i'll speak with him thank you
08:53llewellyn uh detective watts of course uh and i'm sorry i didn't call don't understand shall we
09:17are you raffling through a dead man's satchel
09:20i believe big roy wilde was drugged with a narcotic before he died
09:28drugged what do you mean people said that he was fine before he got on the horse but then
09:34became unsteady shaky maybe it was something else his heart or some such his pupils were dilated which
09:42is a very strong indicator that he was under the influence if he was it's his own damn fault
09:49everyone i've spoken to said that that's not something roy wilde would ever do
09:55so you're saying someone drugged him i don't believe it i understand that the
10:03purse for the bronc riding competition is the largest that's ever been put up by a rodeo
10:08one thousand dollars and a fine saddle i just can't seem to think that any of these cowboys
10:14would be so low and underhanded as to kill a man to get it one thousand dollars yes sir
10:20i'm begging your pardon sir but in my experience i have to disagree um
10:29this was litmus paper and it will change to purple if any substance such as an opiate
10:39has been added to this canteen
10:47it's purple huh so you're saying one of the competitors did this
10:54that's what i intend to find out me too
11:05yeah i knew big roy wilde
11:08i saw his brother shooting targets this morning he's damn good mr headley i understand you are about
11:15to compete against big roy wilde in the bronc riding competition
11:19well we've gone up against each other a few times i was told that mr wilde frequently bested you
11:28he ain't doing that anymore
11:32i've also learned that roy wilde was drugged before he attempted to ride that bronco
11:41drugged shoot i don't know nothing about drugs only vices i got are whiskey and women
11:48where were you before mr wilde stepped into the ring
11:52right beside it with plenty of other fellas i don't need to cheat to win
11:58besides i ain't the favorite now that indian is
12:07big roy and i rode together a few times as a competitor mr three persons call me tom and to
12:16answer your question no we worked as drovers worked to drive across the border last spring
12:23the prize money for this stampede is significant and it's said that you are the favorite to win
12:30we'll see we'll see but i wouldn't hurt my friend detective
12:36well then do you know of anyone who would have wanted to harm or kill mr wilde like his brother
12:44said that pickup man ellis boone last year down in cheyenne big roy got into it with ellis said ellis
12:52was a coward is mr boone afraid to ride broncos or go anywhere near him according to big roy
12:59ellis took a swing at him big roy knocked him clean out
13:04could this have been mr boone seeking revenge talk to him
13:15there's no pickleball mr boone we'd like a word
13:30well it looks like he packed all his worldly belongings
13:35he was leaving the stampede grounds
13:38but not in the direction of either gate maybe he was making his way down to the police tents
13:44all right he was shot when he was facing this way which means shot would have come from quite a
13:50distance necessitating a rifle but a rifle would have left an exit wound and there isn't one
13:56the cheek of it killing him in front of us and all these people i talked to all those folks
14:01nobody saw
14:02anything uh look i have to ask me i know i might be the best shot around but i've never
14:11shot a man and i
14:11don't intend to start even if it's tempting all right i'll get a couple of constables and we'll get
14:18his body into the tent miss oakley with me please let's retrace the path of this bullet then
14:26you know mr boone was shot in the front and he was facing west therefore the bullet had to have
14:34come from this direction but the shooter couldn't have been standing there everybody would have seen
14:37him including me i was what is this there's a dent in this metal sign a ricochet shot which means
14:50the
14:50shooter was standing over there where no one could see him that is quite an impressive shot yeah i know
14:59a lot of great marksmen but well who might they be well next best to myself would probably be big
15:08roy's
15:08brother luca detective i hear ellis was shot right in front of you very near me yes but no one
15:26saw the
15:26shooter so you have no idea who did it i'm actually here to speak with big boy's younger brother
15:34i've got investors breathing down my neck this stampede hasn't even started and it's already
15:40bound for failure and that's why you have us here mr weenick i assure you we'll get to the bottom
15:45of
15:45this and i appreciate it just please be discreet
15:56what can we do for you detective i was hoping to speak with mr wilde here and
16:03mr wilde where were you when mr boone was shot i was with tom at the indian village i'll vouch
16:09for that
16:12obviously you blamed mr boone for your brother's death look i was angry and i i said some things
16:19that i regret if you want a list of people who saw us at the indian village when boone died
16:24i'll get
16:24you it that won't be necessary but do either of you know of anyone else who may have been angry
16:31at mr boone
16:34well you know i i saw ellis arguing with link bowman must have been an hour before he was shot
16:43uh if i may um you'll want to hold the rope much further behind the honda uh and to let
16:53out a another
16:54coil but uh most importantly you want to follow through across like this
17:09nicely done did you learn how to do that before i paid my dues on a ranch a long time
17:16ago that's so
17:18you were overheard having a heated discussion with ellis boone shortly before he was killed he did
17:24i understand that then how would you characterize your talk with him mr loman
17:31ellis blamed himself for big roy's death i was telling him to stay but he was upset
17:37did you discuss anything else no what else would i say to him why did you want it to stay
17:43i just knew he'd regret it if he left before this stampede started it's gonna be the biggest show in
17:48the west
17:56and you are set to compete in the uh bronco riding competition also sure am
18:02before you go accusing me i would never harm another man to win
18:07you're gonna ask anyone here oh we plan on doing that sunshine sunshine i like that where did you go
18:16after your conversation with mr ellis back to my tent hello unfortunately that is something i aim to
18:25change tonight at the dance
18:38miss oakley what were you doing in mr boone's tent i was checking to see if he or whoever shot
18:45him had
18:45left anything behind and look at this 150 dollars it was in his tent with a rock on top that's
18:53all he
18:54left that's a lot of money for a cowboy well ellis boone didn't have a dollar to his name so
18:59what was
18:59he doing with that kind of money and why did he leave it behind
19:09i talked to the man who supplies the restaurant mr grubbs and it was clear he's being threatened by whom
19:16i don't know but likely the same men who are threatening mr sands
19:20that's perhaps a larger butcher is trying to get rid of the competition
19:25we'll have to go to each of them all across toronto could take a while
19:29do you know mark gilbert meets on fenshaw avenue yes uh new butcher shop isn't it mr
19:35mark gilbert called to book a table at eight o'clock mr sands said he wasn't opening tonight
19:40that's what i thought but a meat delivery arrived this afternoon from gilbert's butcher shop
19:46is that so mr sands went pale when i told him about the reservation he said nothing can go wrong
19:52for mr
19:53gilbert tonight oh if that's the case i think dario's could use another waiter
19:58you're not suggesting you have a spare uniform
20:07a civilized man here's to the gentleman among cowboys let me buy you a drink
20:15mr ethan tree chief constable thomas brackenry toronto constabulary and what brings you out here are you
20:22part of the stampede or a police officer oh god no look between me and you
20:28it's time the businessmen of calgary stopped encouraging this frontier parade the city of
20:34calgary should be promoting progress and stop playing at cowboys and indians
20:41who the hell do you think you are look nobody wants any trouble with you
20:45you should follow me outside and we'll settle this for good why don't you sit down and relax here have
20:51a
20:51drink company i'll sit down when i'm good and ready
20:59a toast to the stampede
21:05what are you celebrating
21:09my brother died out in that ring today we'll get to the bottom of this
21:15the truth will come out and they'll just keep carrying on in the meantime
21:22i've had enough of these folks this old stampede can go to the devil
21:33i hear you know your way around a rope detective oh i was just giving luca
21:38wild a bit of help that's all that's part of being a cowboy knowing what's right
21:46be that as it may someone here is responsible for the death of two men
21:53i just can't believe it perhaps you should postpone the stampede
21:59impossible i've advertised everywhere from here to texas without everything riding on this
22:06you've had a man die in the ring and a pickup man that you hired was shot in cold blood
22:12all the riders know they might not come out of that ring alive
22:16and as for ellis there's plenty of rifles around could have been an accident
22:20no you don't believe these two deaths are connected all i'm saying is that i'm not sure
22:29oh no
22:45i just don't know how this could have happened there isn't any electricity to this tent so this
22:51couldn't have been a frayed wire well it's most certainly arson
22:56big roy dead ellis spoon shot i had all my money stolen and now this
23:03you had money stolen someone broke into my lockbox took all that was in there just how did they get
23:11into it the girl who works for me lost her key how much was lost exactly 150
23:19dollars then i believe i know who took it
23:26now remember to smile slight nod when you greet them neat movements and serve from the left remove
23:33from the right i'm not sure about this well don't worry i've gotten quite an adept at playing a role
23:41it will be here any moment are you ready yes mr sanson these are dangerous men detective please be careful
23:51it will be here any moment are you ready to be careful
23:52gentlemen welcome
24:03i just got that hat custom it's ruined
24:09i'll sponge it off sir it'll be good as new
24:14you know spilling that wine was a good thing what what did you say that wine was a german riesling
24:25you
24:25wouldn't have liked it you look like strong barolo men
24:34strong barolo men huh
24:39you're right i'd take a hearty red over a white any day
24:44i like this guy
25:06it's got to be connected it's no coincidence that the money that ellis boone left in his tent
25:11is the exact same amount that was stolen from the stampede office well now we know where he got the
25:16money but why would mr boone steal that money and then leave it in his tent change of heart
25:25where are you off to i'm gonna have a word with the young lady who lost her key
25:39so miss croft were you the only one who had a key to the lockbox
25:43not the only one mr weedek had one too oh i see i noticed my key was missing from my
25:51pocket earlier
25:52i looked everywhere and you never found him no and when i went back to the office tent the box
26:00was
26:00empty and the money was gone 150 dollars yes i feel just terrible about it did you see anyone
26:09suspicious hanging around the office no who else knew you had a key nobody sir not even ellis boone
26:18i've never spoken to that man in my life
26:21this place isn't half bad i could get used to coming here i told mr sands we would be often
26:29how much longer is this going to go on my hands are shaking patience search any trouble
26:34with that mr gruse none at all he soon fell in line once he heard my offer so you're just
26:40telling
26:40the clothes for good i gave him a choice leave or keep selling meat and get his shop torch to
26:47the ground
26:49hey waiter before it gets cold uh-huh
26:56waiter more wine uh-huh all right
27:05uh-huh what are you doing man step back
27:14what is that under your waistcoat it's hard like metal
27:22he wears a medical device he needs it to breathe um but he's very proud and doesn't like to talk
27:28about
27:37we've got the butchers on the east side of town all shaking in their boots now we start on the
27:42west
27:42side and i can help you with that our two shops will run this town as long as we have
27:49each other's
27:49backs well i think that should do it gentlemen i am not a waiter no kidding i'm a police detective
27:55and
27:55you men are under arrest constables
28:00i've recorded everything you've said rest these two and bring them to the station house
28:12this barolo's corked if poor pallets were a crime i'd charge you both with that too
28:20why would anyone want to burn this tent down to end the event before it begins this stampede is
28:27supposed to be the greatest outdoor show this country's ever seen perhaps there are some folks
28:32folks who don't share that feeling
28:40uh mr weedy
28:49kerosene and a lighter
28:52evidence that this fire was definitely worse
29:01i don't know anything about it
29:02i spoke with the people at the indian village nobody saw anyone around this tent yesterday
29:08i was actually coming to speak to you next mr wild me about about the fire i don't know anything
29:15about
29:17how do you men recognize this lighter no sir mr wild i was told that you were rather upset yesterday
29:27when
29:27the stampede decided to go ahead in spite of your brother's death well i was angry at everyone at the
29:33bar yesterday for being in such high spirits i mean they didn't say one word about my brother i thought
29:38cowboys would mourn one of their own so you tried to destroy my rodeo he wouldn't do anything like that
29:43are you vouching for him a second time mr three persons no matter of fact i'm not look i was
29:49a hothead yesterday but i went straight from the bar to my bed okay the fella in the next tent
29:54can swear to it
30:08oh how are the pancakes very good must be my tent
30:13i think it's buffalo milk did you manage to talk to the young mr wild yes
30:19he has an alibi for the time of the crime and
30:24he didn't recognize this
30:27i found it at the burnt out tent next to a can of fuel
30:31i've seen this lighter before
30:34yesterday at the bar
30:35who did it belong to that businessman mr tripp
30:38he told me how much he hated the whole idea of the stampede god no
30:43how good with a rifle do you think he is there's one way to find out
30:50miss oakley yeah i've got a message that you'd like to see i've heard all about you mr tripp oh
30:57have
30:58you but i i don't know you at all you've never heard of annie oakley i'm the best shot in
31:03the
31:03west heck the east south north too well how wonderful for you i hear you don't like the
31:08stampede much and i was thinking that maybe it's because you don't know about it if you did you'd love
31:13it the city of calgary doesn't need to look backwards miss oakley okay we need innovation
31:18and forward thinking you ever shot a rifle i beg your pardon like this
31:33that's impressive poor lady i ain't no lady you want to try uh no it's okay there's no shame if
31:43you
31:43can't surely you aren't trying to abyss me i mean i have fired a rifle or two in my top
31:50can't wait to
31:52see it all right well i'll just give it another try
32:15this weapon's not properly sighted it's here allow me
32:33i don't think it's a problem with the weapon sir looks like you're not much of a shot mr tripp
32:38but you are an arsonist nonetheless uh what do you mean i found this along with some accelerant at the
32:45scene of the fire you're familiar well somebody must have stolen that from me
32:49i mean there is nothing but thieves and scoundrels in this place mr tripp you're under arrest on
32:55suspicion of arson take him away madam come with me he could have been pretending to be a bad shot
33:03he doesn't mean he's not a fire book though try your luck why not toss it we all mucker
33:29what has nothing to do with it miss opal
33:40uh mr tripp here has had plenty of time to stew in the holding tent i demand to be released
33:45mr tripp
33:47you've been charged with arson you'll be sent to the calgary central jail what is your problem with
33:52this stampede seems to me that it would put the city on the map surely that's got to be good
33:57for business
33:57it's the wrong kind of business we are in the 20th century it is time to leave the past behind
34:05i've heard that you put an offer in on this land i did i was going to turn it into
34:10an exhibition
34:11grounds for modern technological inventions not a circus for cowboys i believe the city didn't like
34:18your idea oh yeah they fell for mr wedick he conned them and let them hold this stampede it's a
34:25disgrace
34:26so you decided to burn the whole bloody thing down drunkenly and foolishly i lit a fire
34:34i apologize i will happily pay the damages are you sure lighting a fire is all you did
34:41what are you talking about i believe the cowboy's been drugged and another man was shot and killed
34:47that had nothing to do with me although it's no big surprise care to expand on that that's what
34:54happens when you get these tops together troublemakers a lot of them i heard some things when i was in
35:01that
35:02holding tent what did you hear one of them must have done something illegal i don't know what he did
35:08but he
35:09paid a pickup man a hundred and fifty dollars to keep quiet about it who was it i don't know
35:16his name
35:17all those cowboys hell look the same to me we'll check the list of men who were in holding last
35:23night
35:24uh as i proved helpful to you men uh will you will you let me out of here no no
35:29take him by
35:40coming down
35:41come and done
36:02We're still searching for whoever drug Big Roy Wild's canteen
36:06in order to win the bronco riding competition.
36:10And you came to find me?
36:12Well, no, I've come to test your canteen.
36:18Nothing but water in there, as far as I know.
36:21Can't hurt.
36:38Whatever opioid substance was put in Big Roy Wild's canteen
36:42is also present in yours.
36:44Have you drank any of this?
36:46Did you see anyone hanging around your saddlebags?
36:49No, I did.
36:51Look at that.
36:54What am I looking at, sir?
36:55That's Lucinda Croft.
36:57She's the one who lost the key to Mr. Weedick's lockbox.
37:02Containing the $150.
37:05Well, they seem friendly.
37:07And he was one of the men who was in the lockup last night.
37:12Miss Croft, a word.
37:16What can I do for you?
37:17We'd like to ask you some more questions about the theft.
37:20I told you everything I know.
37:22Pardon me, fellas. I've got to practice.
37:24Just a minute, Mr. Heedley.
37:27You were in the lockup last night, weren't you?
37:30I had one too many.
37:32I didn't know that was a crime.
37:33I don't think that's the only crime you've committed,
37:35is it, Mr. Heedley?
37:37The hell are you talking about?
37:39How did Miss Croft's stolen $150
37:43end up in the possession of Ellis Boone?
37:45You took it to give to him as payment, didn't you?
37:48But he saw you drug Big Roy and threatened to turn you in.
37:51Riley, you said that that money was for us
37:54so that we could run away together.
37:55Quiet, Lucinda.
37:56You killed Big Roy.
37:58And he tried to get rid of me, too.
38:01Couldn't win fair and square, Heedley.
38:04You can all go to the devil.
38:08No, wait!
38:10Mr. Heely!
38:11Give me that horse!
38:11Hold it right there!
38:13You there!
38:14Torquope and tabularies!
38:16I need to use this horse!
38:24Careful, that's a wild one!
38:27He's got some skill for a city, boy.
38:30That's really a murder.
38:45Come on!
38:48Come on!
38:56Come on!
38:57Come on!
39:19Thank you for your assistance, Ms. Oakley.
39:22Charlie, detective.
39:28Ellis Boone saw me dose Roy's canteen, and I gave him that money to keep quiet about
39:34it and let Roy fall in the ring.
39:36Why did you then kill him?
39:38He wasn't going to stay quiet about it.
39:41He told me he had a change of heart.
39:43He was going to tell you what I'd done.
39:48You are now under arrest for two murders.
39:52It looks to me like this is your last rodeo, partner.
39:58I've cooked you my specialty.
40:03Well, the only thing I know how to make, lamb chops.
40:07Mr. Gruse's shop.
40:09They look perfect.
40:12Mr. Sands is happy he can go back to his regular butcher.
40:16I'm just glad he won't be threatened anymore by those criminals.
40:20You're a good man, Sarge.
40:24Not really.
40:27I should have called you after we first had dinner.
40:30Oh, I understand.
40:33No, I don't think that you do.
40:35I didn't call you because I really like you.
40:41Oh.
40:44I've had my heart broken before, and I don't want that to happen again.
40:52Well, nothing has promised us, but I think we could make each other happy.
41:08So can this be considered our second date?
41:15Yes.
41:15Well, in my case, maybe it wouldn't be too forward to doing this.
41:29He's looking pretty good.
41:32That horse is starting to buck some fierce, but he's hanging off.
41:36Come on, son.
41:38And he's off.
41:39It was a good ride.
41:41Come on, folks.
41:42Give him a hand.
41:43It was an excellent ride.
41:44Your instincts about your brother were right.
41:47He didn't simply fall off of his horse.
41:50Well, thank you for finding out who killed him.
41:53I had something come through.
41:56I just wish Roy was here to watch me compete, even if I do lose him.
42:01Seems like he was a good brother to you, and I'm sure he'd be very proud.
42:06Well, there's another rodeo next month, the medicine hat.
42:09I'm aiming to win it.
42:11Oh, Roy.
42:13This is going to be one hell of a show, Mr. Weedick.
42:16Wouldn't have come off without you two.
42:18You saved the stampede.
42:20With a little help.
42:22Thank you, ma'am.
42:25Sir, are you injured?
42:27Blame Miss Oakley.
42:28Blame?
42:29I bought you a present.
42:31Show them off, Tom.
42:33A man who shoots as good as you deserves a proper pair of boots.
42:36Those are going to be perfect for marching in the parade tomorrow.
42:40Marching?
42:41Bloody hell.
42:44Oh, Tom's set to ride.
43:00Riley Bow should have known that Tom was going to be the best.
43:01He's going to win the damn thing anyway.
43:04Cyclone is our toughest bronc, and my money's still on him.
43:06Oh, gosh.
43:13Oh!
43:24Oh, God!
43:26Oh, God!
43:28Oh!
