02:45Come on.
03:05Well, you got them fixed up?
03:07Yep.
03:08I picked up a sharp rock.
03:10No, no, there ain't no charge.
03:12Looks like you've been through plenty of water.
03:14Oh, yeah. Tried a shortcut about 12 miles back in there and got stuck.
03:17Oh.
03:18Come right down through the middle of the creek.
03:20That's where he went lame.
03:22Well, good luck to you.
03:38Hey, Jake.
03:39I just picked this up at the post office.
03:44I'll bet I know who it's from.
03:47I was right.
03:49It's from Betty.
03:59Well, I was right.
04:00It's from Betty.
04:01Betty?
04:02Yeah.
04:02My granddaughter.
04:03Didn't you know I had a granddaughter?
04:05I certainly did not.
04:06Yes, siree.
04:07I'm her only living around it.
04:09I've been sent her to college for a couple of years.
04:12But she'll soon be here to live with me.
04:14Let's see what she's got to say.
04:16Dear Grinsey, I just received my monthly check and thank you so much.
04:34I can't wait until school is over so I can come and live with you.
04:38Gee, just three months more and I'll be keeping house for you.
04:43Please write me a nice long letter.
04:47I do so enjoy hearing from you.
04:50Lovingly Betty.
04:52She's a fine girl, Jerry.
04:56And I'm going to do everything I can to make her happy.
05:00Well, hello, Freddy.
05:06She's a town dog.
05:10Everybody sees her.
05:27Oh, so you want to play, eh?
05:29Say, Jake.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Take a look.
05:32That's that piece of quartz that came out of the horse's hook.
05:34It's gold.
05:36Say, there's a stringer in there bigger than a tenpenny nail.
05:39We only knew where it came from.
05:40I do know.
05:41That prospector said he was forced down the middle of a creek twelve miles out.
05:45Well, there's only one creek out there, Jerry.
05:47And it'll be a cinch to backtrack it.
05:49Well, we're on our way right now.
05:51And if we find anything,
05:52I know a dog's going to find something.
05:54I know a dog's going to find something.
05:56Right now.
05:57And if we find anything,
05:58I know a dog that's going to have a porterhouse stake and a home for life.
06:02You said it.
06:03Right there's where he left the creek.
06:23You said it.
06:25Hey, I know a dog.
06:28Let's go.
06:29Bye.
06:30Bye.
06:33I know that.
06:34Ma'am.
06:36Bye.
06:37Bye.
06:38Bye.
06:39Bye.
06:40Bye.
06:41Bye.
06:42Bye.
06:43Bye.
06:44Bye.
06:46Bye.
06:46Bye.
06:47Bye.
06:49Bye.
06:51Bye.
06:52Wait a minute, look at that.
07:02Hey, that's the real stuff, son.
07:04According to this sand, the creek's full of color.
07:13Hey, that's the real stuff, son.
07:15According to this sand, the creek's full of color.
07:22Oh, I'm sorry.
07:28Hello.
07:29Hello, Benson.
07:30What can I do for you?
07:31In the first place, do you fellas buy gold?
07:33Certainly.
07:34That's part of our business.
07:35Well, weigh this up and let's see what we got.
07:42Say, that's the purest stuff.
07:45As good as I've ever seen.
07:47They've made a great strike somewhere.
08:11Let's see.
08:12That's $16 an ounce.
08:18That'll come to $848.
08:21Okay.
08:22We'll take that in currency if it's just the same to you.
08:25Okay.
08:26All right, Joe.
08:29Now, listen.
08:30We expect to bring in many times that amount.
08:32We think we've got a rich strike.
08:34But we don't want anybody to know anything about it.
08:37But you'll tell us, won't you?
08:38We're not telling anybody, Harris.
08:40But when we do get ready to let the location be known, you'll be the first ones in on it.
08:44Thanks.
08:45Come on, Jake.
08:46We've got to go buy a dog a porterhouse date.
08:51They've made a rich strike, and it's up to us to locate it.
08:55I wouldn't mind having old man Benson's ranch, either.
08:58He used to run cattle.
09:02Of course, he doesn't know it, but I got most of them.
09:28You know, Jake, it's a good thing we didn't file on that claim.
09:35It has tipped the whole town off to the location and confined our operation.
09:41As it is, we can work the whole creek.
09:43Yeah.
09:44Your idea of crossing Windy Flats and entering the town from the other side sure had them puzzled.
09:49It sure has.
09:51They've been back trailing us now for two months, and they always get stuck at Windy Flats.
09:56They think this mine's out in the middle of the desert.
09:59Why don't we take a little rest, son?
10:03Just a few more days and Betty will be coming.
10:08Well, don't you think we'd better be getting back and getting some of this dirt out of our hide?
10:12Yeah, I reckon you're right.
10:14You know, you want to sure look your best.
10:26You know, we're not just going to drive you back.
10:34Bye, Bill.
10:36Hi, Pete.
10:37Well, well.
10:38Hello, Hank.
10:39How's your old woman?
10:41It's all washed up, boys.
10:43No pay to earth this time.
10:45Oh, come on, now.
10:47Come on, Hank.
10:49Wait a minute, wait a minute.
10:51I tell you, we didn't get a bit of color.
11:01I'll give you every nugget you find in the past.
11:12Here comes old Benson now, and Mason isn't with him.
11:15Good. Are the papers all ready?
11:17Everything.
11:23Hello, Jake.
11:25Well, what luck this time?
11:27Not so bad.
11:29Not so bad.
11:47Let's see.
11:49It's $16 an ounce.
11:53That's, uh...
11:55$2,335.
11:57How do you have it, in coin or bills?
11:59Well, bills is easiest to carry.
12:01All right, Joe.
12:03Sit down, Jake.
12:05I've got to have your signature this time, Jake.
12:07The government demands that they get a receipt for all monies paid out for all gold.
12:09Sure.
12:11Well, Joe.
12:13Well, Joe.
12:15Stamp the date on that, will you?
12:17Well, Joe.
12:19Stamp the date on that, will you?
12:21Yes, sir.
12:22And here comes your manuscript.
12:23I've got to have your signature this time, Jake.
12:25The government demands that they get a receipt for all monies paid out for all gold.
12:29Sure.
12:30For Joe.
12:33But Joel, stamp the date on that, will you?
13:03I'll be seeing you find a new book.
13:05Please, please.
13:07Please, please, please.
13:27There you are.
13:29And here's your money.
13:30Thanks. Give me my canteen, will you?
13:32I'll be seeing you fellas again mighty soon.
13:35Goodbye.
13:42Well, we got the deed to the ranch...
13:45...and when he eventually disappears, we'll have this recorded.
13:49Let's see what we made on the nuggets.
13:55Well, how much we get this time?
13:57$2,335.
14:00Whoo!
14:01I'm going to hold out $500 of that...
14:04...pay on this blacksmith shop tomorrow.
14:07You know, Jerry...
14:09...I got an idea this is going to be a valuable corner someday...
14:14...and we ain't going to let go of it.
14:17I think it's a good investment, Jake.
14:29Hello, Dad.
14:30Say, you got a couple bucks you can spare?
14:34Gambling again, eh?
14:35Well, that's about all there is to do around this town.
14:38Gee, I wish I had a job.
14:40So do I.
14:42And remember...
14:43...you can't keep this up forever.
14:45There's an end to everything.
14:47Hey, Al.
14:48Come here a minute.
14:49If you don't kick through with that dough you owe me, I'm telling the town everything.
14:55That'll just about throw your old man out of office.
14:57Where am I going to get it?
14:58That's not up to me.
14:59I don't care where you get it or how you get it, but get it.
14:59I don't care where you get it or how you get it, but get it.
15:04Come here.
15:06Come here.
15:07Come here.
15:07Come here.
15:09If you don't kick through with that dough you owe me, I'm telling the town everything.
15:12That'll just about throw your old man out of office.
15:14Where am I going to get it?
15:15Are you hear me for funktion?
15:17I have no idea.
15:27And I'm looking for something you're talking about.
15:28Well, there anybody could hit you.
15:34How are you taking out the impression?
15:39How are you doing now?
15:42Mr. Williams in?
15:44Yes, Jake. You'll find him in his office.
15:46Thanks.
15:50Come in.
15:54Hi, Mr. Williams.
15:56Hi, Jake. I'm glad to see you.
15:58I want to pay off my debt on the Lexman's shop.
16:00Well, that's fine.
16:02Sit down.
16:12I'll give you a receipt for your money.
16:14You'll put it into escrow.
16:16You'll get your deed in a few days.
16:22I'll give you a receipt for your money.
16:24You'll put it into escrow.
16:26You'll get your deed in a few days.
16:42All right, Mr. Williams.
16:44How's the claim coming?
16:46Oh, still coughing up a few colors.
16:48I won't be working it again until next spring, though.
16:54Howdy, sir.
16:56Hello, Hendon.
17:02Hello, Hendon.
17:12Hello, Hendon.
17:36You'd better send for the doctor, Sheriff.
17:42It's too late.
17:44You killed him, Jake.
17:48I killed him?
17:50You're not trying to deny it, are you?
17:52Didn't I hear you fighting?
17:54You were the only one in here, Mr. Benson.
18:04Somebody must have come in through the back door.
18:06That's the only way it could have happened.
18:08Don't worry, old-timer.
18:10I'll have you out of here in Northtown.
18:40I'll have you out of here.
18:44This is Mr. Benson's ranch, isn't it?
18:46Why, yes.
18:48Are you Betty?
18:50And you're Jerry Mason.
18:52Why didn't you let us know you were coming today?
18:54Yeah, I wasn't surprised, Randy.
18:56Why, where is he?
18:58Oh, uh...
19:00Well, uh...
19:02You see, when he gets out in the hills prospecting,
19:04why, uh...
19:06it's pretty hard to tell when he is coming back.
19:08Oh.
19:10Won't you come in?
19:12Oh, gee.
19:14You don't know how glad I am to be here.
19:16But I just can't wait to see Randy.
19:18Well, I'm gonna ride out and see if I can locate him.
19:20Oh, I hope you find him.
19:22I'm gonna ride out.
19:24I'm gonna ride out.
19:25I'm gonna ride out.
19:26I'm gonna ride out.
19:27I'm gonna ride out.
19:28Now, just make yourself comfortable, Miss Betty.
19:30Well, thank you.
19:31And...
19:32And I have dinner ready for you.
19:33And come back.
19:34Well, that'll be great.
19:35Goodbye.
19:36Goodbye.
19:37Goodbye.
19:38Goodbye.
20:03Huh?
20:04wasn't it Don't worry, Jerry?
20:05No...
20:06I'm just going to give this bank the once-older.
20:09Well, this may not mean anything, but Al, the sheriff's son,
20:13has been flashing a roll of bills.
20:15Now, I know he hasn't done anything to earn it.
20:18He just paid me for a horse I sold him.
20:27Did Al Miller give you this money?
20:29He sure did.
20:36Where'd you get that money, Miller?
20:40Why, I don't think that's any of your business.
20:42Well, I'm making it my business,
20:44because that's part of the money Jake Benson paid the banker.
20:46Now, just wait if you get it.
20:48As I told you before, it's none of your business.
21:06I should go, boy!
21:08Come on!
21:10Oh, I've got him!
21:11Oooh!
21:13Oh, that Ken!
21:14Oh, that Owen said President.
21:16Come on!
21:17There's nothing like that, Blah...
21:19Go ahead andenge长!
21:20Abby!
21:22She's crying, look.
21:24And if you get it...
21:25Stop him!
21:26Give me an odor!
21:27Come on!
21:29Don't you get it...
21:30What?
21:31I need to strike, Mark!
21:32Call him!
21:35Let's go.
22:05Tell these boys where you got that money.
22:35Oh, no.
22:36I did it.
22:37I did it.
22:38Let me go.
22:39You hear that, boys?
22:42Yeah.
22:43I did it.
22:44Let's go.
22:45I did it.
22:46I did it.
22:47Get it.
22:48Get it.
22:49What are you going to say about it, boys?
22:51Get the sheriff!
22:52Do I catch one of them, wait?
22:56Let it go!
22:57Hunt!
22:58Get him!
23:19Let's go!
23:49Let's go!
24:19What do you see?
24:20I'm gonna get the sheriff's office, lor we go!
24:25I'm not sure how it works, but the sheriff's office, he has a right to go.
24:31Hello, sir.
24:33Oh, you're right!
24:35Oh, my God!
24:38This is where there's no one else.
24:41He's the sheriff's office.
24:42There's no one else.
24:45Just go.
24:46You don't care?
24:47I tell you, Sheriff, Jake is innocent.
24:52Wait a minute, men.
24:54If what you say is true, and my boy is guilty of this crime,
24:59I'll see that he gives you a chance to be innocent.
25:02I'm sorry.
25:03I'm sorry.
25:04I'm sorry.
25:05I'm sorry.
25:06I'm sorry.
25:07I'm sorry.
25:08I'm sorry.
25:09I'm sorry.
25:10I'm sorry.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:12I'm sorry.
25:13I'm sorry.
25:14I'm sorry.
25:15But if you see the evidence part of this crime,
25:17I'll see that he gets the full penalty of the law.
25:20So here comes Mason, now.
25:21Down.
25:22There he comes.
25:23Here he is.
25:24Here he is.
25:36Howton Miller, I arrest you for attempted murder and robbery.
25:40And I'm going to do my duty in helping to exact the full penalty
25:44I'm sorry, Sheriff, but it had to be your son.
26:14I'm sorry, Benson.
26:16That's all right.
26:22I know just how you feel.
26:25Here's the rest of the bank's money, Sheriff.
26:45Never keep me caged up in one of them things.
26:53It's a mighty good thing you're out.
26:55Because Betty's home waiting for you.
26:57Betty was jumping the hospital.
27:00And maybe you think I wasn't with her.
27:06Betty!
27:07Well, well, well, well.
27:12Never going to see you.
27:14Not so myself for a while, but thanks to Jerry, here I am.
27:18Dinner all ready for you.
27:20And I'm sure ready for dinner.
27:25Cracky, that's the best dinner I've had in years.
27:28And that goes for me, too.
27:30Well, I can see it isn't going to be very hard to please you two.
27:32Well, son, we won't be working the mine again the next spring.
27:35You know, we can't afford to miss meals like this.
27:38I think I'll go out tomorrow and hide the sluice box.
27:42In fact, I'll stake out three claims along the creek
27:44and you can file on them.
27:46After all, you know, better be on the safe side.
27:50And while you're gone, I'll take Betty around the ranch
27:52and shore the town and our blacksmiths.
27:54Sure.
27:55And you can figure on me being here for dinner.
27:57All right, Candy.
28:01This town is located about six miles off that spur.
28:04Whoa!
28:06Hey, Mason.
28:07Can I see you a minute?
28:09Pardon me a moment, Betty.
28:11You know they're taking young Miller over to Cedar City?
28:12Is that so?
28:13Yeah.
28:14And I thought you might like to know that
28:15Banker William is going to pull through, okay?
28:16Well, that is good news.
28:17Yeah.
28:18Yeah.
28:19Is Jake Benson around?
28:20Why, no.
28:21He went to his train this morning.
28:22But he'll be back this afternoon.
28:23Oh.
28:24Thanks.
28:25Oh.
28:26Thanks.
28:27Oh.
28:28Thanks.
28:29Benson's out at his train this morning.
28:30Oh.
28:31Benson's out at his train, and he won't be back till late this afternoon.
28:32Oh.
28:33Thanks.
28:34Benson's out at his train this afternoon.
28:35This is just what we've been waiting for.
28:36Oh, come on.
28:37Come on.
28:38I'll take a little break.
28:39Come on.
28:40Go ahead, Tommy.
28:41Go ahead, Lindsey.
28:42Go ahead, of course.
28:43Go ahead and bring a little break.
28:44Go ahead, Jane.
28:45Come on, Jane.
28:46Am I ready?
28:48Come on.
28:49I'm ready.
28:50This is.
28:51I'm so sorry for my son.
28:52Benson's out at his claim, and he won't be back till late this afternoon.
28:57This is just what we've been waiting for.
29:01Freddy, there's some nuggets that Jerry don't know nothin' about.
29:06Ha!
29:07Won't he and Betty be surprised when they hear that?
29:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
29:29Come on, Freddy.
29:59I guess we got here just in time.
30:09Drop your hands, Benson.
30:11Let's go.
30:27Drop your hands, Benson.
30:29We've decided it's about time you were tipping us off to this gold field of yours.
30:33Oh, so that's your game, eh?
30:35Well, Jerry and me found that gold field,
30:37and we ain't tipping it off to nobody.
30:41Let's go.
30:52He's done for.
30:54Yeah.
30:55There's a canteen on that patch.
30:57Come on, we've got to catch that mule.
31:11Here's the canteen, sure enough.
31:12Here's the canteen, sure enough.
31:24Yeah!

31:46Get him home!
32:10No, no.
32:35No use, Harriet. I can't get it.
32:37Come on, we've got to get out of here and get back to town.
32:39We can't afford to be seen here.
32:40Now listen, Freddy.
32:42I want you to go get Jerry.
32:44You understand?
32:46Go get Jerry.
32:48Go get him.
33:10What?
33:12Come on.
33:14Come on,, over.
33:16Go.

33:25Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
33:30Why that's Randy's part, isn't it?
33:32It sure is.
33:34Hey, here comes his back.
33:35Yeah.
33:37Hey, what do you suppose has happened?
33:42I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
33:45I think there's a letter to New Jersey.
33:49What's all the excitement about?
33:52Why, old Jake Horton's back came in without him.
33:56Is that so?
33:57Yes.
33:58They made me auto-organize a potty and squat and...
34:01Yes.
34:02He never did this before.
34:05Friday!
34:09Friday!
34:11Where's Jake?
34:13You better go back home and wait till you hear from me, Betty.
34:17All right, Jerry.
34:35We're gonna do something.
34:37...
34:38I'm gonna do something.
34:39I'm on the back.
34:40In the background of this closet, it's so cute that nobody's not here.
34:42It's time to compete.
34:43We'll get you because we're going to pretend to take the good time out.
34:46We're going to try and we'll do something.
34:47Let's go.
34:48Let's go.
34:49Get!
34:50Get!
34:51Get!
34:52Get!
34:53Get!
34:54Get!
34:55Get!
34:56Get!
34:57Get!
34:58Get!
34:59Get!
35:00Get!
35:01Get!
35:02I'm sorry, sir.
35:19What's the matter, old-timer?
35:21Are you all right?
35:22Oh, I'm only a little dizzy.
35:23I'm getting better every minute.
35:25They only nick me.
35:26What are you talking about?
35:27I'm getting better every minute.
35:29They only nick me.
35:30What are you talking about?
35:32Who nicked you?
35:33I'll tell you all about it on the way home.
35:35Come on.
35:48Remember now, son, not a word to Betty.
35:57What happened, Granby?
35:59Oh, you're hurt.
36:00Oh, king, nothing tall.
36:02Horse rode me a little square on my head.
36:04What I need is good feed.
36:06Oh, well, I'll run right up town and get you something nice, then.
36:09Well, don't tell anyone that your granddad is here.
36:12All right.
36:17Hey, son, open up that trunk and get out my make-up case.
36:20Hey, son.
36:21Open up that trunk and get out my make-up case.
36:23Hey, son.
36:24Hey, son, open up that trunk and get out my make-up case, will you?
36:27Make-up case?
36:28Yeah.
36:31This?
36:32That's right.
36:35This here will stop it bleeding.
36:38What in the world's this?
36:40Oh, heh.
36:41That's just a souvenir of my old theatrical days.
36:45I didn't know you were an actor, Jake.
36:47Yep.
36:48I wore that when I played in a show called Charlie's Ant.
36:51Yeah?
36:52Yeah.
36:53Well, what the heck is this?
36:56Son?
36:58That's the thing that helped make Anna Held and Lillian Russell famous.
37:02Oh, I see.
37:03Up here like this, eh?
37:04No!
37:05Ha, ha!
37:06You darn yearling, you got it in the wrong spot!
37:09Oh!
37:10Oh!
37:21Hello, Mason.
37:23Has Vincent come in yet?
37:25Not yet.
37:27If he doesn't get in by night, I'm going looking for him.
37:30I reckon he's hoarse through him.
37:31We just called to find out when we could take possession of this ranch.
37:36Take possession?
37:38I don't understand.
37:40Well, maybe Benson didn't tell you, but we bought this ranch a few days ago.
37:44Oh, that's strange.
37:45Funny he didn't tell me.
37:46You got a bill of sale?
37:47Why, certainly.
37:48It's the office.
37:49Well, then I'll have Jake drop in tomorrow, and he can advise you when he's getting out.
37:54Well, that'll be fine.
37:55We're anxious to get started on the improvements on the place.
37:59Hey, what are they talking about?
38:16I ain't sold no ranch.
38:17Have you signed any papers lately, Jake?
38:19No.
38:20I don't think so.
38:21Wait a minute.
38:22Yes, I did.
38:23I signed a receipt for the money we got for them last nuggets.
38:26Well, did you look at it closely?
38:28No.
38:29Well, that's it, then.
38:30You probably signed a bill of sale for the ranch.
38:32That's why they were trying to get rid of you.
38:34They figured they could claim the ranch then, and nobody could deny it.
38:37What is that dirty, low-down polecats?
38:40But we'll get them.
38:41You wait till my head aches better tomorrow.
38:43We'll give them the surprise of their life.
38:45Hey, but you better go file on them claims.
38:48Take that canteen of nuggets and leave it at the bank this time.
38:58Here's the location of them three claims.
39:03Now, there's one for Betty, one for you, and one for me.
39:07All right.
39:08You better lie down and get some sleep, Jake.
39:10Don't you forget yourself.
39:11Remember, I'm supposed to be dead.
39:13Oh, I ain't forgettin'.
39:14Oh, I ain't forgettin'.
39:20There's Mason.
39:48There's Mason.
39:58Isn't that old Jake's canteen on the saddle?
40:01Let's go see.
40:19We must have taken it off the borough before we got there.
40:40How did we get there, boys?
40:42Oh, hello, hello.
40:44You see, Sheriff, will you recognize this canteen?
40:46It belongs to old Jake Benson.
40:50Whenever Jake brought in his nuggets to us, unknown to anyone else, he brought them in this canteen.
40:55And we thought it was kind of funny that old Jake's disappeared and Mason should have this.
41:02Where is Mason?
41:03He went in the courthouse.
41:05Well, please go in there and see what Mason's doing.
41:08I reckon he can explain this.
41:11He'd better be able to.
41:16He's filing on a mining claim, Sheriff.
41:20Huh.
41:21Probably old Jake's claim.
41:23Well, we'll just wait till he gets here.
41:24Howdy, boys.
41:25What's all the powwow about?
41:27Just how did you come to have this canteen of nuggets?
41:30I don't care if you're not.
41:32What's your name?
41:33Well, what's your name?
41:35Well, what's your name?
41:37I'm sorry.
41:39I'm sorry.
41:41I'm sorry.
41:43I'm sorry.
41:45I'm sorry, sir.
41:47I'm sorry.
41:48Mason, but I'll have to hold you until we can locate Jake.
41:58Well, fair enough.
42:00When do I get my preliminary hearing?
42:03First thing tomorrow morning.
42:05I'm sorry.
42:07I'm sorry.
42:08I'm sorry.
42:09But I'll have to hold you until we can locate Jake.
42:11That's fair enough.
42:13When do I get my preliminary hearing?
42:15First thing tomorrow morning.
42:18You better take charge of those nuggets, Sheriff.
42:42What are they gonna do to Mason?
42:44They think he killed old Jake.
42:45They do.
42:47What's happened? What's wrong?
42:49Mason's up for murder.
42:50Murder?
42:51Yes.
43:02Sheriff, may I please have him on with Mr. Mason?
43:05Yes, I guess so.
43:07Go ahead.
43:11Oh, Jerry.
43:12Now listen, Betty.
43:13They think I've murdered your granddad.
43:15Now don't say anything to anyone, but hurry home and tell Jake
43:18that I have a preliminary hearing in the morning
43:20and for him to get there without being seen by anyone.
43:23All right, Jerry.
43:24Goodbye.
43:28Goodbye.
43:30Goodbye.
43:41This is what we're when you're going.
43:44Take care of your kids and the man.
43:53Randy, they got Jerry locked up in jail.
43:56What's that?
43:57They think he murdered you.
43:58Now Jerry says he's been caught in the morning
44:01and for you to be sure and get there without being seen.
44:05I understand.
44:07Yes.
44:08Will I be there?
44:09And how?
44:15Figure it out.
44:16The way I said,
44:17having a chance in the world to leave.
44:20We'll be getting out of here.
44:22It's going to help the world.
44:24Yeah.
44:31Pardon me, gentlemen, but I'm looking for the courthouse.
44:36You're standing right in it, madam.
44:38Oh, for goodness sake.
44:41I do love murder trials, don't you?
44:44But if I were a murderer, I'd much prefer the electric chair
44:48than to have a rope around my neck, wouldn't you?
44:51Listen, lady, we're not interested.
44:53But you're going to be.
44:56Well, here comes the sheriff and Mason now.
45:01My goodness, what a big piece.
45:06Just a minute, boys. Check your hardware.
45:26Come on, let's get in here.
45:28This thing is just about to start.
45:56This thing is why I am not gonna be .
45:59So before I read the trabalh전.
46:00We...
46:01I don't know.
46:03We haven't done this yet.
46:04Only there's a ton of things
46:07to cut out.
46:07Okay.
46:10We will not come back.
46:11Come back.
46:12We will not have to get an idea to what's County's
46:24Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
46:26The Court of Sonoma County is now open.
46:28Judge McGill presiding.
46:30Everybody be seated and come to immediate order.
46:32Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
46:34Hear ye, hear ye.
46:36The Court of Sonoma County is now open.
46:38Judge McGill presiding.
46:40Everybody be seated and come to immediate order.
46:48Your Honor.
46:50Before you proceed further with this case,
46:52there are just a few words I'd like to say.
46:54What is your name, madam?
46:56Veronica Mehippo Benson.
46:58Any relation to Jake Benson?
47:00Oh, yes. I'm his nearest relative.
47:02What do you want to say, madam?
47:04I wanted to say that I've known the accused
47:07since he was a babe in arms.
47:15Quiet, please.
47:17As I was about to say,
47:19I knew him years ago
47:21when he was the sweetest thing.
47:29Come to the point, madam.
47:31Well, I know who shot Jake Benson.
47:35The men are in this Court, Your Honor.
47:37And I advise the Sheriff not to let anyone leave this room.
47:41They tried to steal his mind.
47:45They tried to steal his ranch.
47:47And they shot him down in cold blood.
47:51How do you know this, madam?
47:53Because I was there when it happened, Your Honor.
47:55Sheriff, try to miss Benson, then.
47:57Ha, ha, ha, ha.
48:11Ha, ha, ha, ha.
48:13Ha, ha, ha, ha.
48:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
48:16Ha, ha, ha, ha.
48:17Hey, put down your dress.
48:19I ain't no lady.
48:21I'm Jake Benson.
48:23And there's the two coyotes that shot me.
48:47There he goes!
48:53There he goes!
49:03Why not switch, Mick?
49:05How do you run this darn thing?
49:07I'll do the driving.
49:17Come on, Mick!
49:47Come on, Mick.
49:49I just have to start again.
49:51It changed my mind.
49:53There he goes!
49:56I don't know my mind.
49:59I don't know my mind.
50:01I am gonna do it.
50:03I don't know my mind.
50:05I don't know my mind.
50:07I never do it!
50:09I am sorry.
50:11I don't know my mind.

53:50Now hold it.
53:51Just like that.
53:53Still.
53:54Hold it.
53:55Hold it.
