00:00:09You
00:00:54One night, I had a dream.
00:01:01The problem I got right now, some days, I couldn't tell you if I ever woke up from that dream.
00:01:21See, one day, I found a watch.
00:01:27Next to it was a U.S. Marshal badge and a sign,
00:01:37town needs a marshal.
00:01:41Next to that sign was a hat.
00:01:45Yeah, I needed me a hat, but I couldn't take my eyes from that watch.
00:01:53Then I read the back of the sign.
00:01:57A lot of dead people around here.
00:02:03I could have told you that one for free.
00:02:06Look at things a different way.
00:02:08Yeah, I'm one of them.
00:02:15My name was Clinton Butler.
00:02:17Whole town considered me dead.
00:02:21But the good Dr. Roth oversaw the documents of my official rebirth.
00:02:28And after a year clawing my way back from the dead,
00:02:33Marshal James Jennings, I became.
00:02:39I don't know if this was my punishment.
00:02:42I don't know if this is my heaven or my hell.
00:02:48But it seems like I found that watch a thousand times over.
00:03:11All right, that's great.
00:03:11So, let's see you next time.
00:03:12I hope you enjoyed this.
00:03:12I hope you enjoyed this one.
00:03:12It's nice.
00:03:12Bye.
00:03:12Bye.
00:05:44In the vicinity of Helena, Texas, a few rough acres of woodland were described by their solitary inhabitant as Harbor
00:05:53County.
00:05:57Reports suggested a small homestead sat somewhere on the land.
00:06:02Those who found it and set foot in the property were considered to be the guests of U.S. Marshal
00:06:10James Jennings.
00:06:13Stories of the mysterious marshal grew.
00:06:50Inside redemption, a man could attest or disprove his sins.
00:07:06Mr. Jennings, I'm not sure how long this one's got.
00:07:23Looks to me like she's done for.
00:07:29I'm not sure.
00:07:31I'm not sure.
00:07:40I'm not sure how long this is.
00:07:43I'm not sure how long this happened to you.
00:07:50I'm not sure how long this is.
00:08:05he tried to take me in the barn
00:08:12I had been right
00:08:14and he didn't believe me
00:08:17and he
00:08:18he
00:08:21but take my word

00:08:37the sort of man I should have married
00:08:42make him suffer Mr. Jennings
00:08:46he's a bad man
00:08:49so
00:08:50you want to talk my friend
00:08:52and hell you must be on fire down there
00:08:57now I challenge any regular speaking man
00:09:00to sit in that chair
00:09:01with untreated venereal disease
00:09:03of the highest order
00:09:05and not say
00:09:07a word

00:09:26I'll tell you
00:09:28you accused those boys
00:09:30of raping her
00:09:32when they did nothing
00:09:33of the sort

00:09:37I'll never agree to that
00:09:39they're making that up
00:09:40wait
00:09:41there ain't nothing wrong with me
00:09:43Mr. Jennings
00:09:43did you rape your wife?
00:09:45are you playing mind games with me?
00:09:48did the blade go in
00:09:50before
00:09:52or after?
00:09:54I'm an innocent man
00:09:56that's the tragedy of death
00:09:58I'm afraid
00:09:59we had an argument a few days back
00:10:01but I ain't seen much of her
00:10:03when I got there
00:10:05Susanna
00:10:06come around
00:10:09I told her
00:10:10Dr. Roth
00:10:11would be a good couple of hours away
00:10:13but we could
00:10:15cauterize the wound
00:10:16all that
00:10:17but
00:10:18she'd bled
00:10:20she'd bled
00:10:21good

00:10:59what you claim
00:11:00I'll give you
00:11:00eight days
00:11:00to think about this
00:11:02now if you can sit there
00:11:04for eight days
00:11:05and not demonstrate
00:11:08a symptom
00:11:08of the disease
00:11:10that I know

00:11:16and I am
00:11:17the devil
00:11:18for subjecting you
00:11:20to such a torture

00:11:29I don't want you
00:11:30waking up
00:11:31with no fever
00:11:32I don't want
00:11:33to get you well
00:11:34just to then
00:11:35watch you hang
00:11:36you ain't never
00:11:37hanged a person
00:11:38in your life
00:11:39is that the compassion
00:11:40I'm famed for
00:11:41that's what they say
00:11:43you give people
00:11:45a chance to
00:11:45prove themselves
00:11:46stay alive
00:11:47long enough
00:11:49you'll find out
00:11:51now your eight days
00:11:55they begin now
00:12:04to see you live
00:12:06yeah
00:12:06you
00:14:25Shut up.
00:14:26I don't know why everybody would have thought I would have done that, but they wasn't me.
00:14:32I mean, she's my wife.
00:14:34Shut up.
00:14:38Nobody wants to listen to me.
00:14:42Not even a dead man.
00:14:51Eight days.
00:14:55Why'd you put yourself through that, Mr. Cooper?
00:14:57Because I don't think a word about what they say about you is true.
00:15:02And now you know I am a man of my word.
00:15:06When am I going to hang, then?
00:15:09When am I going to hang, then?
00:15:09You're not going to hang, Coop.
00:15:11See, I challenged you.
00:15:13I said any man that can sit there with venereal disease of the highest order for eight days and not
00:15:24show any symptoms can walk free.
00:15:31I don't like you.
00:15:33I don't enjoy the pleasure of your company.
00:15:37But two things happened before I pulled you in that you were unaware of.
00:15:43You have a house girl called Callie.
00:15:46Is that correct?
00:15:48Why's she got to do with all this?
00:15:50Well, Callie has been the recipient of your desire for the past year, has she not?
00:15:59Yeah.
00:16:01Don't mind me saying, but she ain't exactly purdy.
00:16:05No.
00:16:06She's ugly as sin, but the only person who's laying with her is me.
00:16:12And Susanna caught you, waited for you to clean up, then confronted you.
00:16:16I'll never rape Susanna.
00:16:18I never stabbed her.
00:16:20I've been here eight days.
00:16:22Do you not believe me?
00:16:25No, I believe you.
00:16:28It's the rest of the town that don't.
00:16:30You'd have been hanged a week ago if I hadn't pulled you in.
00:16:35You betrayed your wife.
00:16:37And she got back at you by opening her legs to the whole of the town.
00:16:47You're a man who's got to live with that.
00:16:50What'd I do next?
00:16:52We hanged William Cooper a week ago.
00:16:55Well, I inspected your property.
00:16:58I found a will that you recently signed, leaving your estate to Callie Mitchell.
00:17:05But seizing all cash assets to deal with.
00:17:10Funeral, $20.
00:17:12Unpaid wages, $680.
00:17:16Unpaid bar tab, $16.
00:17:21General store payments in lieu, $410.
00:17:25And a clerk's fee for the remainder, approximately $3,400 for land holdings,
00:17:34identifications, and passage to a new world.
00:17:39You liquidated my business.
00:17:42No.
00:17:42So, we just paid up what you owed.
00:17:46And we got you a one-way ticket to not being annihilated by a billion mob
00:17:53who were quite prepared to pull you to pieces.
00:17:57You're for real, aren't you?
00:17:59See this guy in front of me?
00:18:02I walked I don't know how long to find him.
00:18:06I dragged his sorry ass back here because rumor is this man is worth a hell of a lot of
00:18:14money.
00:18:18I was a rich man before I walked into this place.
00:18:21You're richer now.
00:18:23Believe me.
00:18:24Yeah, I'm starting to think that way.
00:18:28So, what next?
00:18:30Get yourself together.
00:18:32Have a look in that bag and understand why you came to redemption.
00:18:38My folks left England for a better life.
00:18:42William Cooper is leaving for a better life.
00:18:47One way he ain't dead.
00:18:50How'd you fix all this so quick?
00:18:52Wise up, Mr. Cooper.
00:18:55You're a healthy man.
00:18:56You start walking south and you'll hit the coastline in about three days.
00:19:01If you get yourself down to what they now call in Corpus Christi.
00:19:06Go east.
00:19:07You'll hit Galveston.
00:19:10But that's about seven or eight days walk.
00:19:14So maybe you want to pick up a horse.
00:19:17Let it loose on the outskirts when you get there.
00:19:20But don't be trading.
00:19:22Because you were dead man walking.
00:19:25You got this all figured out, ain't ya?
00:19:27I got this figured out the same way for everybody.
00:19:30Hell, you're home free.
00:19:33Even if you jump a steamship takes you to New York.
00:19:36That don't matter.
00:19:38You just find another one heading home to Queen and country.
00:19:41Being dead has a price.
00:19:43That it does, Mr. Cooper.
00:19:45That it does.
00:19:46So you're just going to let me go?
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:50We had our talk.
00:19:52Life has moved on.
00:19:54Hell, you're dead to anyone who might have had a beef with you.
00:19:58You got a piece of paper that says you were somebody else.
00:20:01And you got a death certificate and documents that relate to a family friend.
00:20:08A week ago I had everything.
00:20:11And now I've got nothing.
00:20:13You've been redeemed.
00:20:16Now get out.
00:20:18Wait.
00:20:19You never bought me any shoes.
00:20:22Well, shoot.
00:20:24How am I?
00:20:26I can't help you with that, Cooper.
00:20:29Why don't you ask the dead man here if he'll lend your hands?
00:20:33Oh, be reasonable.
00:20:35It's freezing out there.
00:20:36Well, then improvise or ask the dead man.
00:20:43Can I take your shoes?
00:20:48$20.
00:20:50I want a burial.
00:20:54Jennings can't pay that for me.
00:20:58$20.
00:21:00That boy is thinking ahead.
00:21:06That it?
00:21:07Can I go now?
00:21:09Pay him the $20.
00:21:11Put it in his hand or put it in his shirt pocket.
00:21:14Why?
00:21:15You're only going to take it off him.
00:21:18I want my shoes back.
00:21:21Man wants his shoes back, Coop.
00:21:24I want my shoes back.
00:21:29Look, I'm putting $50 in his hand.
00:21:37I don't care.
00:21:40I want my shoes back.
00:21:43$40 is not enough.
00:21:45$100.
00:21:51You're not $60 short, are you?
00:21:53No.
00:21:55Look, here's $100 for this man's shoes.
00:22:01Thank you, dead man.
00:22:04Next time, just pull a dead man's shoes off his feet.
00:22:08I stopped feeling my legs hours ago.
00:22:12What did he say?
00:22:14He said next time, just pull a dead man's shoes off his feet.
00:22:18He stopped feeling his legs hours ago.
00:22:22How about my $100 back?
00:22:25Nuh-uh.
00:22:27That man is next in that chair.
00:22:31Redemption has a price, Mr. Cooper.
00:22:35The more money you have coming in, the better your chances are of getting out.
00:22:40Got it?
00:23:07I need water.
00:23:11Water.
00:23:19I could give you water.
00:23:22But we live in parts where they sell liquor by the keg because it's cheaper than water.
00:23:32But I can give you water.
00:23:39So, what's your name?
00:23:44It's...
00:23:47It's sewn in my shoes.
00:23:52What's your name?
00:23:54I thought you knew Layla.
00:23:58My name isn't a boy.
00:24:01You'll kill me if I tell you.
00:24:05But I know Layla.
00:24:07Prove it to me.
00:24:10Layla saw his father hanged.
00:24:14Look.
00:24:17There's going to be a confederate man coming for you.
00:24:22He's an imposter.
00:24:26Imposter?
00:24:28You know this imposter's name?
00:24:33It's Jacob Fulford.
00:24:36Jacob Fulford.
00:24:38Is that your name?
00:24:39You know the name of the imposter, but you can't tell me yours.
00:24:46You'd kill me if I tell you.
00:24:54Well, I think she's done for, my friend.
00:25:02You know, my friend, that I have a gift.
00:25:05Don't you?
00:25:06You know that I can hear you.
00:25:09I can translate your thoughts.
00:25:13And I think all you want to say is this.
00:25:19Why wouldn't you just let me die in peace?
00:25:24I wouldn't have lasted the night in that cold.
00:25:28But you bring me here with your vengeance and your talk of redemption.
00:25:34Hell, I am redeemed.
00:25:38I'm a bad man.
00:25:40But a bad man dies the same way he lives.
00:25:46In the gutter.
00:26:04What's that?
00:36:07Can you hear me.
00:36:11Mr. James, I'm right here.
00:36:15Can you hear me.
00:39:28I think he's dead.
00:40:52You know,
00:41:59I've seen it.
01:00:22Are you a coward.
01:00:57Can you hear me.
01:04:31No.
01:05:24Why wouldn't you.
01:06:09find out.
01:09:34One night.
01:09:36I had a dream.
01:09:43Some days.
01:09:47I couldn't tell you.
01:09:48If I woke up.
01:09:49from that dream.
