00:28The End
00:30I have to admit they're a bit on the slow side, Adam, but then they're pretty puny, especially the one
00:34on top of the wagon.
00:35Yeah.
00:38Well, what are you doing?
00:40Oh, I thought I'd give them a hand.
00:41Well, we're going to make that dance in Virginia City. We don't have much time.
00:44It won't take but a few minutes.
00:47Well, as long as you're such a fool for work, Dave, you'll be my guest.
01:01Oh, hey, ain't that shirt you sent all the way to St. Louis for?
01:03Yeah.
01:04It's pretty bad shape now.
01:06Well, I can send for another.
01:07Come on, we better get the rest of this hay loaded before your paws skims us alive.
01:11And he can sure do it, too.
01:20Stay, Walker.
01:23You stand right where you are, Walker.
01:27Oh!
01:30Drop your gun, Bob.
01:32I don't know who you are, mister, but you're going to go home in a box.
01:34I'm a United States Marshal, and this is my prisoner.
01:38What'd Dave do?
01:39You got the wrong man, mister.
01:40Now, hold it.
01:42I'll kill the first man that tries to interfere.
01:48The End
02:50I'll let you off the Ponderosa alive.
02:51I said your credentials.
03:00United States Marshal Emmett down Los Angeles office of Southwest Territory.
03:06And was it necessary to half kill the boy, Marshal?
03:09He had a pitchfork. I don't take any chances.
03:12Dave's the one who didn't have a chance, Marshal.
03:15Marshal, Dave Walker has been working for me for almost a year now.
03:19In all that time, I've never known him to commit an act of violence of any sort.
03:22If you have any complaints, you can lodge him with my superiors.
03:25Oh, I'll do that. You can count on it.
03:27In the meantime, you tell your boys to step aside.
03:30I'm going to take my prisoner into Virginia City.
03:33On what charge?
03:35Murder.
03:40Let's go.
03:54Let's go.
03:58You have to treat him so roughly.
04:00Mr. Cartwright, I'll handle my prisoner in my own way.
04:06Now, look. He's not an animal. Treat him with some consideration.
04:10Mr. Cartwright, it's a federal offense punishable by fine or imprisonment or both
04:14to interfere with the United States Marshal in the execution of his duties.
04:18Now, you step aside.
04:29Don't you fellas think you'd better get dressed if you're going to make that dance?
04:33After what happened to Davey, I don't feel much like dancing, Paul.
04:36Me neither, Paul.
04:39Paul, do you really believe what that fella had to say about Dave being guilty of murder?
04:42Well, the question of Dave's innocence and guilt still has to be proved at a trial.
04:47Well, that is if he gets one.
04:49The Dowd acted as though he's already been convicted.
04:52Yeah.
04:53Ain't there some way we can stop him, Paul?
04:56Of course.
04:58He's the United States Marshal.
05:00His orders are to take Dave back to Los Angeles to stand trial.
05:04Well, maybe if some of Dave's friends got together, we could change all that.
05:07Now, Joe, whatever we think of Dowd as a man,
05:09he still represents the law.
05:12There must be a better way to help Dave.
05:14We're listening.
05:16Well, we can ride into town tomorrow morning for one thing.
05:20Talk to Dowd.
05:22The stage for Southern California doesn't leave till noon.
05:24Yeah, but how can we help him?
05:26I don't know.
05:28I do have a lawyer friend in Los Angeles I'd like to telegraph a message to.
05:33Yeah, I'd like to buy old Dave a shirt, too.
05:36Replace that when he tore up helping us load the hay.
05:39Yeah, that'd be a good idea, huh?
05:41Well, three of us will leave in the morning, then.
05:45Three of who?
05:48Well, Hoss, Adam, and myself.
05:50Well, what about me?
05:51I think you'd better stay here, Joe.
05:53Somebody has to get the rest of the hay again.
05:56That'll keep him busy till spring, Paul.
05:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
06:02ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
06:04ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
06:05ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

06:14ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
06:19Well, at least it'll provide Dave with the kind of help he'll need.
06:22Pa, I'm getting just about ready to kill a man, Pa.
06:27Oh, what now?
06:28I just took that new shirt over to Dave, and you ought to see what that marshal's done to him.
06:32What about the sheriff? Didn't he try to stop him?
06:34No, he's up at Pyramid Lake or someplace. Ain't nobody over there but that deputy.
06:38Dow just shoved him aside.
06:39We better get over to that jail, see what we can do.
06:48Dave.
06:51Let me see your face, boy.
07:05Dan, how did this happen?
07:06Dowd. Brought the boy in last night and then demanded a cell.
07:10I couldn't refuse to cooperate with the U.S. Marshal, Ben.
07:14He did this to Dave.
07:15Well, I didn't see it happen.
07:17Curly had the night duty.
07:19He said Dowd came back to check the boy's chains.
07:22Pa, I'm going to kill him.
07:23No, that wouldn't help matters.
07:29Dave.
07:31Did you give him any provocation?
07:33Do you think he needed any, Mr. Cartwright?
07:35But why?
07:37He didn't offer any resistance.
07:39Why would he want to do this to you?
07:41Maybe because he's just that kind of man, Mr. Cartwright.
07:44Yeah.
07:45I guess that's so.
07:47Dave.
07:48Pa's wired a thousand dollars to a lawyer friend in Los Angeles.
07:51Make sure you get a fair trial.
07:53Adam.
07:54You think Dowd's going to let me reach Los Angeles alive?
07:59David.
08:02Did you commit this murder?
08:04Mr. Cartwright.
08:06I don't even know what Dowd is talking about.
08:09All right, Dave.
08:11We believe you.
08:14Where's the marshal now, Dan?
08:16He's over at the hotel packing his bags.
08:18The stage leaves in 20 minutes.
08:21Well, that'll give us enough time.
08:22Come on, boys.
08:23Awesome.
08:26Thanks for the shirt.
08:28Nicest one I ever had.
08:29It's all right, Dave.
08:32Mr. Cartwright?
08:33Thanks for everything you've done for me,
08:35but don't bother trying to talk to Marshal Dowd.
08:38It won't do any good.
08:40Well.
08:47Good morning.
08:49Will you please see that our bags are taken out to the stage?
08:53You talking about the stage of Los Angeles?
08:56Yes, sir.
08:57I think that is the name of the little village.
08:59You see, my daughter and I are not so familiar
09:02with this part of your country.
09:04But we like it very much.
09:05It's so very beautiful.
09:07Isn't it, Father?
09:09Indeed, my child, it is.
09:10And we are looking forward to the rest of our journey.
09:14There's nothing between here and Los Angeles
09:16but 500 miles of dry, hot desert.
09:19But your desert is most remarkable.
09:21We have never seen anything to match its rugged splendor.
09:25You'd better wait for the next stage.
09:26We aren't taking any passengers on this one.
09:28No, no.
09:29We cannot wait.
09:30You see, we have made arrangements already at Los Angeles.
09:33There will be a sailing vessel waiting for us
09:35on which we have reservations.
09:38I said no passengers.
09:41Hello, Marshal.
09:43Hello, Cartwright.
09:45You're blocking the door.
09:48Yes, I know.
09:50We've just seen what you did to Dave Walker.
09:52He resisted my efforts to shackle him.
09:55Was there any need to chain him to that bed?
09:57Just the need to make sure he didn't escape from that fleabag jail.
10:00What about his face?
10:01What did you hit him with?
10:03Cartwright.
10:06Get out of my way.
10:08Mister, if you weren't a United States marketer...
10:10The point is, I am.
10:17Let him out, Adam.
10:23Excuse me, gentlemen.
10:25May I present myself?
10:26My name is Dr. Anton Strasser.
10:28This is my daughter, Andrea.
10:31Ma'am?
10:32Well, I'm Ben Cartwright.
10:34These are my sons.
10:36Very pleased to meet you, gentlemen.
10:38Could you kindly tell me,
10:39is there some danger in our taking this particular stage?
10:43Danger?
10:44No, there's no danger.
10:46It might prove to be a bit unpleasant for you and your daughter.
10:50Unpleasant?
10:50How do you mean?
10:51Well, doctor, you see,
10:53they're taking a young man in chains on that stage to Los Angeles.
10:56In chains?
10:58But why?
11:00Is he a criminal?
11:01No, ma'am, he's not a criminal.
11:03But it might be safe if you did take the stage next week.
11:06But, Father, surely he cannot prevent us from taking the stage.
11:10Easy, easy, my child.
11:13Sir, I don't understand.
11:14This gentleman who carries the gun,
11:17is he an officer of the law?
11:19Well, he's an officer of the law, right?
11:23But you must remember, doctor,
11:25we're a young and rough country.
11:28Well, we have seen men like this
11:30who carry guns and abuse their power.
11:33It happens everywhere,
11:35even in my native Vienna.
11:36But, Father, we've got to get on that stage
11:38if we're going to make our connections.
11:40We'll see what can be done.
11:42Thank you so much, gentlemen.
11:48Alles wird in Ordnung sein.
11:50Thank you so much, gentlemen.
12:26Stand away, mister.
12:27He doesn't need any help.
12:32On your feet, Walker.
12:35I said get up.
12:51Once before, I've seen that kind of law, man.
12:55How do you mean that, Dan?
12:57That Dow doesn't intend for Dave
12:59to get to Los Angeles alive.
13:04Look, Dan,
13:05isn't there someone you've been sent along
13:07to look out for the boy?
13:09I'd go myself,
13:10but we're two men short as it is.
13:12We couldn't spare anybody
13:13till the sheriff gets back in Pyramid Lake.
13:15You think I ought to go along, Pop?
13:18Adam, this isn't really our affair.
13:20Isn't it?
13:21Why'd you wire a thousand dollars
13:23to the lawyer in Los Angeles?
13:26We'll make sure the boy gets a fair trial.
13:28Well, maybe that's why I want to go along.
13:30See that he lasts long enough
13:31to get a fair trial.
13:33Paul,
13:33maybe you ought to send me along, too.
13:38Charlie,
13:40have you any empty seats?
13:42As far as I know,
13:43we're not carrying anything
13:44but the marshal and his prisoner.
13:47See, driver,
13:49please take our luggage and boards.
13:52My daughter and I will travel with you.
13:54I told you at the hotel.
13:56There'll be no other passengers on this trip.
13:58Sir, you have no right to do this.
14:00This is a public bill.
14:02Tell your father to step out of the way, miss.
14:04Yes, I don't want to hurt him.
14:06But my father isn't well.
14:07And we must make that boat connection.
14:10I'm sorry, miss.
14:11But we haven't any weapons.
14:13Surely we can't endanger you and your prisoner.
14:15Marshal,
14:17are you commandeering this stage?
14:20I said there'd be no passengers on this trip.
14:24Well, you know you can't take over
14:25a public carrier, Marshal, Dad.
14:27It's for their own safety.
14:29I can't be responsible
14:31for what might happen on this trip.
14:33Well, you can just not bother yourself
14:34about that anymore, mister.
14:36Me and my brother here
14:37are going to go along with you
14:38to make sure nothing peculiar does happen.
14:40That's right, Marshal.
14:42If you have any objections,
14:43you can telegraph your superiors
14:44for instructions.
14:48All right.
14:49Hand your guns to the driver.
14:52Hand up your guns, boys.
14:53You won't need them
14:54for what you have to do.
14:56Lock them up.
15:11I'll take the key.
15:20Look out.
15:34It's all right, Marshal.
15:35You, uh,
15:36you just keep your seat.
15:37I'll just soon ride up there
15:39at Charlie Innie, you know.
15:46Okay, Joey.
15:47Ah, get up there, Lucy.
15:49Take them here, baby.
16:12Get up!
16:13Get up!
16:28I'm forgetting my manners, Miss Johnson.
16:31You and your father
16:32met the gentleman with the shotgun,
16:34United States Deputy Marshal Emmett Dowd.
16:37But as for the prisoner,
16:40well, I am not certain
16:41whether or not the law
16:41permits us to recognize him.
16:43Perhaps you could advise us, Marshal.
16:46We have a long journey, Mr. Cartwright.
16:47Let's not make it more difficult
16:49than is necessary.
16:50Well, looking at your prisoner,
16:51I would say you're making it
16:52a lot more difficult
16:53than is necessary.
16:56Since you're so well armed, Marshal,
16:58why is it necessary
16:59that your prisoner remain chained?
17:01Does it disturb you
17:02to see a murderer in chains?
17:04I don't go to see
17:05any man in chains.
17:06Particularly an innocent one.
17:08Walker's guilt will be established
17:10when we reach Los Angeles.
17:21Ah!
17:22Ah!
17:23Ah!
17:36Ah!
17:37Ah!
17:37Ah!
17:38Take him!
17:39Take him!
17:41Party, Charlie.
17:41Why don't you try
17:42and missing some of them
17:43juggles every once in a while?
17:45This is a long ride
17:45ahead of us, Adam.
17:47There's no sense
17:48that you're getting
17:48rednecked because of me.
17:50I'm finished.
17:51You can't say that.
17:52If you're innocent,
17:53you can't even think it.
17:55How great, please.
17:56You mustn't submit
17:57to what he stands for.
17:58Ah!
17:59Get out of here!
18:00These chains
18:00don't encourage
18:01a man to fight back, miss.
18:07Here, baby!
18:09Get out of here!
18:11Charlie, I sure am
18:12going to be happy
18:13to get my brinches
18:13off of this
18:14torture rack.
18:16Well, we'll be stopping
18:17one of the horses
18:18another mile or so.
18:19Here I am!
18:20Get out of here, Lucius!
18:34Howdy!
18:35Howdy!
18:36Ten minutes, folks.
18:37You can get out
18:38and stretch
18:38if you don't
18:39bind the snakes.
18:40Sure, I'm glad
18:41you folks came by.
18:43What's wrong, mister?
18:44Oh, my horse
18:45lost a shoe
18:45a ways back.
18:46That's bad luck.
18:47Where are you headed?
18:48West?
18:49Which shoe is it?
18:50Oh, it's that
18:50left front foot.
18:57Yeah, yeah.
18:58It ain't no shoe, mister.
19:00You ain't going
19:01very far
19:02so well, buddy.
19:03He's got a bad
19:03stone, Bruce.
19:04Well, maybe you got
19:05room for an extra
19:06passenger.
19:06I got the fare.
19:07Hold it!
19:10What's your name, mister?
19:13Cutler.
19:15Heard Cutler.
19:16Where are you from?
19:18Up north.
19:19I asked you a question,
19:20mister.
19:20Answer it.
19:22Well, that's a good
19:23enough answer.
19:24Up north.
19:25Ranch near the
19:26Truckee River.
19:27I'm headed for
19:27Los Angeles.
19:30All the way across
19:31the desert with that
19:32one canteen?
19:34Well, I figured I'd
19:35get me another one
19:36at the next stage
19:37station.
19:38Marshal?
19:41Well, how about it,
19:42driver?
19:42You got room for me
19:43topside?
19:44Yeah, I guess so.
19:46We can't just leave
19:47him stranded out here.
19:48It's better than a week
19:49till another stage
19:50comes by.
19:51Can I see you in
19:52Virginia City?
19:54Oh, I don't reckon
19:55so, Marshal.
19:57Nearest I ever got to
19:59a silver mine was
19:59Laredo.
20:00The land jobber sold
20:02me and my partner
20:02a salted claim.
20:04Did you get back at him?
20:05No, hanging party
20:07got to him first.
20:09Well, how about it,
20:10Marshal?
20:11I'd be grateful to you
20:12if you let me ride
20:13to the next stage
20:14station.
20:14I can have my horse
20:16shot and be on my
20:16way.
20:20I'll let the driver
20:21keep your gun.
20:24The Marshal's taking
20:25all our guns.
20:25He's afraid one of us
20:27might lose his head.
20:59He's afraid to be
21:05Thank you, Miss.
21:26Well, there she is.
21:32Well, what is it?
21:33Beautiful state of California.
21:38That God-forsaken desert is California?
21:41You ain't never been to California before?
21:44Yeah, I've been to California.
21:45I've been to San Francisco lots of times, Charlie,
21:47but it sure didn't look nothing like that.
21:50Well, this is Southern California.
21:53Stationed right beyond those hills there.
21:56Southern California, huh?
21:58Yep.
21:59I can tell you one thing, Charlie.
22:02It sure ain't going to ever amount to much.
22:04This is...
22:05Yah!
22:06Yah!
22:16Yah!
22:20Hey, hey!
22:22You crazy female!
22:23Hiya, Charlie.
22:25Hi.
22:26You're about a half hour late.
22:28You running into trouble along the way?
22:30Nope, not on the way, Michael, you old highbinder.
22:33I brung it with me.
22:34Just so you wouldn't be losing out on your share of the misery.
22:41Only six for supper, Charlie?
22:43Only six and one in chains.
22:45But I don't reckon he'll be having much of an appetite.
22:48He's on his way to be hanged.
22:50Do tell.
23:07Well, a young one, huh?
23:09I bet you some gal's gonna be crying her eyes out.
23:12Maybe more than one gal, eh, Sonny?
23:14I'd like to think so, old-timer.
23:16What are they gonna hang you for, horse-thieving or car-charping?
23:19For twisting the arm off a nosy old desert rat.
23:24Oh, say, I like this boy, Marshal.
23:27Yes, sirree.
23:30Say, are you a plum set on hanging him?
23:32I suppose you're the station master.
23:35Yeah, me, that's me, Micah Bailey.
23:41Now, the gents who've met down in the dining room,
23:44and the ladies in the parlor.
23:45Don't you have any private accommodations?
23:48What's he talking about?
23:49Well, I reckon what he means, Micah, is that he wants a private room.
23:53Well, I tell you, mister, the only thing private out here
23:56is the hole that a man gets buried in.
23:57And even that, sly, will be stolen out from under him
24:00by a thieve in Apaches.
24:02Breakfast at daybreak, supper at sundown.
24:06If you're late, you don't eat.
24:11Everybody hold it just a minute.
24:13All right.
24:28Old man, do these doors lock?
24:30Yep.
24:32I'll give these back to you before we leave in the morning.
24:35Dr. Strasser, you and your daughter will occupy this room tonight.
24:45Thank you, Marshal.
24:47Hey, Bob, you just wait a minute.
24:50That's the station master's quarters.
24:52Quite right.
24:53You and your brother, Cutler, and the driver will occupy the parlor.
24:57My prisoner and I will take the dining room.
25:00Weren't you forgetting about me?
25:01Sleep in the kitchen.
25:02He's being thoughtful again as usual, Micah.
25:07Ain't you leaning kind of heavy on that tin star, Marshal?
25:11Now you listen to me.
25:13I'm station master here.
25:14Me, Micah Bailey.
25:15I'll say who goes where.
25:17Mr. Bailey, it is a federal offense,
25:20punishable by fine or imprisonment or both,
25:22to interfere with the United States Marshal
25:24in the execution of his duties.
25:25It means he's taking charge, Micah,
25:27whether we like it or not.
25:31Oh, put that strong box, uh, over by the stove.
25:37Mr. Bailey, how many firearms do you have at this station?
25:41Half a dozen rifles locked up in the liquor stores.
25:43And this.
25:44Are the keys on here?
25:46Yeah.
25:47Well, until I leave, I will take charge of all firearms.
25:51Mister, this is Apache country.
25:54I wouldn't let loose of my shooting iron for any man.
25:58Especially a blowed-up tin star.
26:05Bailey!
26:10That's an order, old man.
26:14Can he do this to me?
26:17Oh, dadgummit, Micah, I reckon he thinks he can.
26:19You better go ahead and do like he tells you.
26:21For the time being, anyhow.
26:36Well, that ought to, that ought to get you across the desert,
26:40Cudler, but I'd sure be careful that stone bruise buys you.
26:44Well, thanks a lot, horse.
26:46You fellas want supper?
26:47You better rustle your shanks.
26:48I'm just dishing up beans and side meat.
26:51That sounded mighty laver to me, Micah.
26:53Come on, Adam, let's go.
26:54Joe, what kind of beans?
26:55Wild beans.
26:56I picked them myself.
26:59Mesquite beans.
27:01Yeah, little Joe warned me.
27:02If I went on a trip with you, I'd be eating cow fodder.
27:04You talk like I rode ahead and ordered them.
27:06Well, if you didn't, how come they're on the menu first night out?
27:09You don't come to think of it, it does sound a little strange, don't it?
27:12Oh, I don't think so.
27:13It's sort of like bees and honey.
27:15You and cow food just seem to go together.
27:17Yeah.
27:20Here's some more coffee, folks.
27:39You haven't touched your food.
27:43First time I ever remember my appetite deserting me, miss.
27:47I can hardly blame you.
27:49I wouldn't feel much like eating either.
27:52Andrea, please.
27:54But you must eat.
27:55We still have a long journey, haven't we?
27:58Yes, miss.
27:58A very long and rough one.
28:01You must eat.
28:03It will give you strength.
28:05I'll get by, miss.
28:06When we get to Los Angeles, perhaps my father and I can notify your family.
28:11Well, that's thoughtful of you, miss, but there's no one to notify.
28:15My ma died when I was no bigger than a polywog.
28:18Never knew my pa.
28:21Ma said he was a man with restless feet.
28:25I think she loved him more than he was worth.
28:29And you took after your father?
28:30No, miss.
28:32I always tried to stay put for as long as I was allowed.
28:37It looks now like I'll get my wish.
28:40I'll be settling someplace for good.
28:44Well, look, Dave, you're not convicted yet.
28:47You're going to be back on the Ponderosa in no time, won't you worry?
28:49A lot can happen between now and the time I get tried.
28:56Lady, you'll forgive me.
28:57I think I'll finish my cigar in the other room.
29:03If the rest of you are through with your meals, I'd be obliged if you'd all go to your rooms.
29:08Is that a request, Marshal?
29:09No, Miss Straser, that is not a request.
29:11Good night.
29:13Andrea, please.
29:15Nothing to be gained by arguing with authority.
29:18But, Father...
29:19Come along, child.
29:20We have a long journey tomorrow.
29:24Good night.
29:25Good night.
29:25Good night.
29:26Good night.
29:27Good night, Dave.
29:29I'll be all right, Adam.
29:30Don't lose no sleep over me.
29:33Good night, Dave.
30:01You're afraid I'll sneak out in this harness, Marshal?
30:04Or that one of them will jump you while you're asleep?
30:08Adam Cartwright, for instance, or the station master?
30:18How long has it been since you slept, Marshal?
30:21Almost a year.
30:23Has it really been that long?
30:25I can't imagine what keeps you going.
30:40I'm not much at carrying it too, Marshal.
30:43But I can tell you what that song's about.
30:47It's about a girl named Corrie and the way she died.
30:53You shut your filthy mouth.
30:55You hear me?
30:56You shut your filthy mouth.
31:02I will.
31:02No.
31:18Yes, sir.
31:21Nobody loved talking about it.
31:22It is.
31:22Yes.
31:23No.
31:25Yes.
31:27Yes.
31:36Adam, you awake?
31:38Can anybody sleep with you rolling and tossing?
31:41Well, Dad, Brian, I can't help it.
31:43This confounded couch is plum alive.
31:45Every time I get in another position, I'll sprout another hair.
31:48Look at that.
32:29Hey, color's gone.
32:35I didn't hear him get up.
32:37Neither did I.
33:11I didn't hear him get up.
33:14I didn't hear him.
33:16I didn't hear him.
33:17I didn't hear him.
33:17Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
33:49Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
34:05Cutter, come on out.
34:33you murdered him he tried to kill me he was walker's accomplice we knew he was hiding out
34:39new virginia city i wouldn't count on catching that boat dr strasser why i lost the horses well my
34:55brother and the others are trying to find him how's he his collarbone has shattered several
35:00rips broken and he may have sears and talon injuries
35:09you just had to kill somebody didn't you he was trying to help walker escape
35:14i had my eye on him ever since i spotted him in virginia city i never knew suspicion could
35:19rot a man's mind you really believe that huh all right have it your way i killed cutler and
35:26cold blood are you satisfied you want to kill yourself lay back all we ever asked of you was
35:33to have a little compassion for the prisoner compassion you mean feel sorry for him well
35:40now is there anything wrong with that he's used this trick before on cora cora my wife
35:51i killed her with that shotgun well now what's that got to do with walker because he worked his
35:59ways on her too before i could get him back to los angeles for the murder of a paymaster she
36:04tried to
36:04release him and he deliberately pushed her in my line of fire to save his own rotten skin
36:15now we know the reason for the chains and the beatings if you believe it doctor it's not going to
36:21work dad you go from brutality to sentiment and i don't buy it card right
36:32well what's that for i'm deputizing you you take walker back to los angeles
36:40you mean you want me to take your place that's what i mean you you can't deputize somebody like
36:47this can i the united states marshal has the authority to deputize any citizen and if i refuse
36:54you can't refuse it's your duty to take that badge and you are bound by law to accept and carry
37:03out any
37:05reasonable commission

37:29dave you have anything to do with it you hear that miss adam you don't mean that do you
37:38look i'm asking if you had anything to do with the attempt to kill dowd
37:43why adam why are you asking me that
37:49because he gave me this his badge of office
37:54we'll give it back to him it's his not yours
