Gregorio Cortez.
00:15
A simple man.
00:16
Platter.
00:17
A family man.
00:21
And an innocent man.
00:24
Forced to run for his life through the misunderstanding of a single word.
00:28
Ask him if he's traded him a horse lately.
00:31
For 11 days,
00:33
They ain't gonna tell you nothing.
00:37
he was the most infamous man in America.
00:41
He drew a gun,
00:44
shot our beloved sheriff,
00:47
Dick Glover.
00:49
600 men pursued him
00:50
Posse, a ranger.
00:52
across the state of Texas.
00:55
He rode in circles.
00:59
He rode in figures of eight.
01:01
Eludin' the law.
01:08
And I'm sure laughing all the way.
01:10
I don't want nobody warning them that we're coming.
01:14
I want every damn Mexican on the train arrested
01:16
and we're gonna do the same when we get into town.
01:24
Could it have been one of your own men?
01:26
Could it have been one of your own men?
01:28
There you go, boys. Pass it around.
01:30
Could it have been one of your own men?
01:31
It's possible.
01:33
He was the object of awe.
01:35
I want fires lit at 20-foot intervals burning all night long.
01:39
We're going after him at first light in the morning.
01:41
Deceit.
01:42
I'd like to propose a toast.
01:43
I'll drink on that.
01:44
To Gregorio Cortez.
01:46
I have extended the life of the Texas Rangers.
01:48
I love you.
01:50
And hatred.
01:52
All for one word spoken in a language America did not understand.
01:57
So it was a matter of misunderstanding.
02:01
In a country where all men are created equal.
02:05
We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder without malice.
02:10
And I say it's 50 years confinement.
02:12
Where they have inalienable rights.
02:14
And I can speak for all of us.
02:16
To life.
02:17
All we want is that damn greaser.
02:22
Liberty.
02:27
And the pursuit of happiness.
02:30
It is time to restore the good name
02:36
of Gregorio Cortez.
02:42
A true story of justice and courage.
