00:10Gregorio Cortez.

00:15A simple man.

00:16Platter.

00:17A family man.

00:21And an innocent man.

00:24Forced to run for his life through the misunderstanding of a single word.

00:28Ask him if he's traded him a horse lately.

00:31For 11 days,

00:33They ain't gonna tell you nothing.

00:37he was the most infamous man in America.

00:41He drew a gun,

00:44shot our beloved sheriff,

00:47Dick Glover.

00:49600 men pursued him

00:50Posse, a ranger.

00:52across the state of Texas.

00:55He rode in circles.

00:59He rode in figures of eight.

01:01Eludin' the law.

01:08And I'm sure laughing all the way.

01:10I don't want nobody warning them that we're coming.

01:14I want every damn Mexican on the train arrested

01:16and we're gonna do the same when we get into town.

01:24Could it have been one of your own men?

01:26Could it have been one of your own men?

01:28There you go, boys. Pass it around.

01:30Could it have been one of your own men?

01:31It's possible.

01:33He was the object of awe.

01:35I want fires lit at 20-foot intervals burning all night long.

01:39We're going after him at first light in the morning.

01:41Deceit.

01:42I'd like to propose a toast.

01:43I'll drink on that.

01:44To Gregorio Cortez.

01:46I have extended the life of the Texas Rangers.

01:48I love you.

01:50And hatred.

01:52All for one word spoken in a language America did not understand.

01:57So it was a matter of misunderstanding.

02:01In a country where all men are created equal.

02:05We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder without malice.

02:10And I say it's 50 years confinement.

02:12Where they have inalienable rights.

02:14And I can speak for all of us.

02:16To life.

02:17All we want is that damn greaser.

02:22Liberty.

02:27And the pursuit of happiness.

02:30It is time to restore the good name

02:36of Gregorio Cortez.

02:42A true story of justice and courage.
