1
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:03,596
He was growing into middle age...

2
00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:07,200
...and was living then in a bungalow
on Woodland Avenue.

3
00:01:09,102 --> 00:01:11,304
He installed himself in a rocking chair...

4
00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:13,473
...and smoked a cigar down
in the evenings...

5
00:01:13,673 --> 00:01:16,576
...as his wife wiped her pink hands
on an apron...

6
00:01:16,776 --> 00:01:19,879
...and reported happily
on their two children.

7
00:01:25,885 --> 00:01:27,487
His children knew his legs...

8
00:01:27,787 --> 00:01:30,990
...the sting of his mustache
against their cheeks.

9
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:36,996
They didn't know how their father made
his living or why they so often moved.

10
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:40,600
They didn't even know
their father's name.

11
00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:46,773
He was listed in the city directory
as Thomas Howard.

12
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:49,376
And he went everywhere unrecognized...

13
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:52,579
...and lunched with Kansas City
shopkeepers and merchants...

14
00:01:53,179 --> 00:01:56,820
...calling himself a cattleman
or a commodities investor...

15
00:01:57,830 --> 00:02:00,587
...someone rich and leisured
who had the common touch.

16
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:07,193
He had two incompletely healed
bullet holes in his chest...

17
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:08,895
...and another in his thigh.

18
00:02:09,950 --> 00:02:11,598
He was missing the nub
of his left middle finger...

19
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:15,100
...and was cautious,
lest that mutilation be seen.

20
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:20,473
He also had a condition that was
referred to as "granulated eyelids"...

21
00:02:20,674 --> 00:02:23,677
...and it caused him
to blink more than usual...

22
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:28,581
...as if he found creation
slightly more than he could accept.

23
00:02:30,183 --> 00:02:32,786
Rooms seemed hotter
when he was in them.

24
00:02:33,286 --> 00:02:34,988
Rains fell straighter.

25
00:02:35,588 --> 00:02:36,890
Clocks slowed.

26
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:39,893
Sounds were amplified.

27
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:43,797
He considered himself
a Southern loyalist and guerrilla...

28
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:46,900
...in a Civil War that never ended.

29
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:52,405
He regretted neither his robberies,
nor the 17 murders that he laid claim to.

30
00:02:58,978 --> 00:03:03,183
He had seen another summer under
in Kansas City, Missouri...

31
00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:07,687
...and on September 5th
in the year 1881...

32
00:03:08,788 --> 00:03:11,491
...he was 34 years old.

33
00:03:18,298 --> 00:03:22,202
You just... You just slide them things
right in there, right in your sleeve...

34
00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:25,405
...and then, when you get ready,
you just shake it out.

35
00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:27,874
Like that, right there. You shake it out.

36
00:03:31,778 --> 00:03:35,382
Mary Todd Lincoln, tyrant's wife, fall
into hysterics when the moon was full.

37
00:03:35,582 --> 00:03:38,184
President's men would tie her up
with hay-baling wire...

38
00:03:38,284 --> 00:03:40,487
...keep her from ripping
her husband's ears off.

39
00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:45,191
You never heard word one about the wife of
the Confederacy's Jefferson Davis, did you?

40
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:46,693
- I didn't.
- No, you didn't.

41
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:49,796
He did his duty by her.

42
00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:54,701
- Oh, my God, I'm speaking to children.
- No, I get it, I get it, I get it.

43
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:59,500
The president of the Confederacy discerned
his wife's needs and satisfied them...

44
00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:03,777
...with the utmost skill
and the utmost courtesy.

45
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:09,820
- Charley, you spit all over my boot.
- Sorry. Sorry, sorry, Jesse.

46
00:04:09,783 --> 00:04:12,185
- Here, get it off.
- I'll wipe it... I'll wipe it off.

47
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:16,790
But Abraham Lincoln probably sent his wife
on a shopping expedition.

48
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:20,694
- A three-act play.
- With money stole from us.

49
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:23,697
Chow!

50
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:29,602
I think insanity run on both sides
of that Lincoln family.

51
00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:31,604
You're right about that.

52
00:04:31,805 --> 00:04:34,374
The river... You jump in the river.

53
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:42,582
- One more piece of meat.
- When you diddle a lot...

54
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:45,185
There's a good piece of bacon fat
in there for him.

55
00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:22,188
Excuse me.

56
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:26,292
I see I've traipsed right on in
and interrupted you.

57
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:30,397
Who are you, then?

58
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:32,899
Bob Ford.

59
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:35,502
Charley's brother?

60
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,405
Yeah.

61
00:05:52,485 --> 00:05:55,689
I was lying when I said
I just happened down here.

62
00:05:55,889 --> 00:06:00,193
I've been looking for you. I feel lousy
I didn't say so at the outset.

63
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:04,297
Folks take me for a nincompoop...

64
00:06:04,497 --> 00:06:08,201
...on account of the shabby first impression
I make, whereas I think of myself...

65
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:10,804
...as being just a rung down
from the James brothers.

66
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:14,674
I was hoping if I ran into you
aside from those peckerwoods...

67
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:18,878
...I could show you how special I am.

68
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:34,394
I honestly believe I'm destined
for great things, Mr. James.

69
00:06:34,494 --> 00:06:38,898
I got qualities that don't come shining
through right at the outset.

70
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:44,704
You give me a chance, I'll get
the job done. I guarantee you that.

71
00:06:54,481 --> 00:06:58,685
Come on, you can tell me. I've always
wanted to lay down with a redskin.

72
00:06:59,285 --> 00:07:00,687
Well, Charley...

73
00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:05,592
...there's a feeling that comes over you...

74
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:09,396
...getting inside a woman whose hands
has scalped a congregation.

75
00:07:09,596 --> 00:07:12,399
There's this thunderous sound
that comes from their cooch...

76
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:15,902
...on account of the fact that
they birth a child standing upright...

77
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,500
...like a wild animal.
- What's it sound like?

78
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:23,476
Whatever a thunderous cooch sounds like
there, Charley. I don't know.

79
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:25,478
No.

80
00:07:25,679 --> 00:07:28,810
They got a noisy quim
on account of the fact that...

81
00:07:28,181 --> 00:07:33,860
...they use their cunnis as a saddlebag
to carry sundries across the plains.

82
00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:37,190
Come on, what'd it really feel like?
Did it feel good?

83
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:39,793
Come on, fess up, now.

84
00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:41,795
I like you, Charley.

85
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,398
I like you too, Charley.

86
00:07:45,899 --> 00:07:46,900
Well...

87
00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:50,904
You're not so special, Mr. Ford.

88
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:55,775
You're just like any other tyro
who's prinked himself up for an escapade.

89
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:59,779
Hoping to be a gunslinger
like them nickel books are about.

90
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:03,683
You may as well quench your mind of it...

91
00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:07,987
...because you don't have
the ingredients, son.

92
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:25,505
Well, I'm sorry to hear
you feel that way...

93
00:08:25,705 --> 00:08:28,875
...as I put such stock
in your opinions.

94
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,184
As for me being a gunslinger, I've just got
this one granddaddy Paterson Colt...

95
00:08:38,284 --> 00:08:40,787
...and a borrowed belt to stick it in.

96
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:44,290
But I also got an appetite
for greater things.

97
00:08:47,494 --> 00:08:51,598
I hoped by joining up with you, it'd put me
that much closer to getting them.

98
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,103
Well, what am I supposed to say to that?

99
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:01,174
Let me be your sidekick tonight.

100
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:02,475
Sidekick?

101
00:09:02,676 --> 00:09:04,778
So you can examine my grit
and intelligence.

102
00:09:04,978 --> 00:09:06,680
I don't know what it is about you...

103
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,883
...but the more you talk,
the more you give me the willies.

104
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:13,987
Now, I don't believe I want you anywhere
within earshot this evening, okay?

105
00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:15,689
You understand?

106
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:23,196
- Well, I'm sorry...
- Why don't you just get now? Scat.

107
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:30,503
All right.

108
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:36,776
I was with a girl once, wasn't a squaw.

109
00:09:36,976 --> 00:09:38,778
But she was pretty.

110
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:43,583
She had yellow hair like a...

111
00:09:45,285 --> 00:09:47,870
Oh, like something.

112
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:50,290
Like hair bobbed from a ray of sunlight?

113
00:09:50,390 --> 00:09:53,393
Yeah. Yeah, like that.

114
00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:56,696
Boy, you... You talk good.

115
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:59,599
You can hide things in vocabulary.

116
00:10:01,501 --> 00:10:06,106
Maybe you and me could write her a note,
send it by post?

117
00:10:06,306 --> 00:10:07,974
See, all you gotta do, Ed...

118
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:11,378
...is predict her needs
and beat her to the punch.

119
00:10:13,790 --> 00:10:17,384
Well, this girl, she has a real specific job.

120
00:10:17,984 --> 00:10:20,487
- Specific?
- We was only together once.

121
00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:21,888
She...

122
00:10:22,589 --> 00:10:27,193
She was afraid of lightning,
and she came up under the wagon and...

123
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:30,296
...just cuddled right up to me.

124
00:10:30,397 --> 00:10:32,399
She give me a kind price too.

125
00:10:34,401 --> 00:10:38,505
Well, I'll be. That is specific.

126
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:43,476
Yeah, sure,
she'd been with other people...

127
00:10:43,677 --> 00:10:45,679
...but the kind of things she said to me...

128
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,982
...people just don't say
unless they really mean it.

129
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:52,285
My love said she would marry only me

130
00:10:53,860 --> 00:10:56,189
And Jove himself could not make her care.

131
00:10:56,289 --> 00:10:58,892
For what women say to lovers, you'll agree

132
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,196
One writes on running water or on air.

133
00:11:04,698 --> 00:11:08,301
My God, that's good.
Let's write her that.

134
00:11:09,302 --> 00:11:10,904
No.

135
00:11:11,204 --> 00:11:13,573
Poetry don't work on *****s.

136
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:18,778
How do you do?

137
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:23,283
Am I too late
to wish you a happy birthday?

138
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:27,870
How'd you know?

139
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,989
You'd be surprised
at what I got stored away.

140
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:32,692
I'm an authority on the James boys.

141
00:11:32,892 --> 00:11:34,394
Is you?

142
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,600
Well... Well, your brother Frank and I,
we just had a real nice visit.

143
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,904
Just chit-chatting about this and that,
right over there.

144
00:11:45,305 --> 00:11:48,174
And must've been a hundred subjects
entertained...

145
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:50,777
Good Lord, you know
what this stew needs?

146
00:11:55,482 --> 00:11:57,830
Dumplings?

147
00:11:57,283 --> 00:11:58,985
Noodles.

148
00:11:59,386 --> 00:12:02,789
You eat yourself some noodle stew
and your clock'll tick all night.

149
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:06,793
You ever see that woman up in Fayette?
Suck noodles up her nose.

150
00:12:08,695 --> 00:12:10,397
- In Fayette?
- I don't believe I have.

151
00:12:10,497 --> 00:12:12,899
You never heard of her, huh?

152
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:16,403
You got canals up there
you never dreamed of.

153
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:22,175
I don't like to harp on a subject...

154
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:24,978
I don't care who comes with me.
Never have.

155
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:27,781
That's why they call me gregarious.

156
00:12:29,182 --> 00:12:32,385
I hear you and young Stovepipe here
had a real nice visit.

157
00:12:32,886 --> 00:12:36,890
Your boys have got about a acre
of lumber to haul, dingus.

158
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:39,592
You better goose them down yonder.

159
00:12:49,803 --> 00:12:53,973
The James Gang committed over 25 bank,
train and stagecoach robberies...

160
00:12:54,174 --> 00:12:57,677
...from 1867 to 1881.

161
00:12:58,578 --> 00:13:00,580
But except for Frank and Jesse James...

162
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:04,884
...all the original members
were now either dead or in prison.

163
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:09,889
- mine eye
All my soul and all my every part

164
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:13,593
And for this sin, there is no remedy

165
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:17,970
It is so grounded inward in my heart.

166
00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:19,599
So for their last robbery at Blue Cut...

167
00:13:19,699 --> 00:13:23,303
...the brothers recruited a gang
of petty thieves and country rubes...

168
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:26,206
...culled from the local hillsides.

169
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:44,184
Right on schedule, Buck!

170
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:48,988
Snuff those lanterns!

171
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:52,892
Look at those fools. They're gonna trip
and shoot each other into females.

172
00:14:53,930 --> 00:14:56,196
I bet you I could find them husbands
if they do.

173
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:42,802
Fan out!

174
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:48,274
Hold your fire!

175
00:16:51,277 --> 00:16:52,479
- Watch him!
- Going down.

176
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:08,194
Hold your fire, you idiots!

177
00:17:09,396 --> 00:17:11,498
Hold your fire!

178
00:17:21,574 --> 00:17:23,276
Let me in.

179
00:17:23,977 --> 00:17:25,879
Buck! Boys!

180
00:17:26,790 --> 00:17:28,810
Buck, this way!

181
00:17:28,982 --> 00:17:31,384
Do you think that lock will hold?

182
00:17:32,986 --> 00:17:34,688
No, I don't.

183
00:17:34,988 --> 00:17:37,900
Let's go, let's go.

184
00:17:49,302 --> 00:17:52,706
Let's not get clever, nor courageous,
any of you.

185
00:18:05,850 --> 00:18:08,288
Hey there, boys!
These are all for me?

186
00:18:11,910 --> 00:18:13,593
Looks like Christmas morning in here.

187
00:18:15,395 --> 00:18:16,996
Hey, friend.

188
00:18:18,498 --> 00:18:20,500
You mind if I have a peek around?

189
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:23,103
This shit. Nope.

190
00:18:24,904 --> 00:18:26,206
Nope.

191
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:29,175
You got anything good here?

192
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,578
It could be.

193
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:48,294
Open that safe.

194
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,201
Do it!

195
00:18:58,705 --> 00:19:01,775
- You didn't have to bop him.
- Yeah, he did. They needed convincing.

196
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:04,377
They got their company rules,
I got my mean streak...

197
00:19:04,577 --> 00:19:06,980
...and that's how
we get things done around here.

198
00:19:08,181 --> 00:19:11,885
- Get on over here and attend to this thing.
- Come on, go.

199
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:18,892
Hold your fire, you idiots!

200
00:19:19,292 --> 00:19:21,940
Dig deeper.

201
00:19:23,396 --> 00:19:25,999
- Come on!
- Give me your money.

202
00:19:26,199 --> 00:19:29,102
- And you, stand up.
- Let's see your hands.

203
00:19:29,302 --> 00:19:31,400
What have you got?

204
00:19:32,706 --> 00:19:34,474
Speak English.

205
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:39,279
Money. Money. You understand that?

206
00:19:40,780 --> 00:19:42,282
Give me your money!

207
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:53,693
There's some receipts.

208
00:19:55,395 --> 00:19:57,297
I got fives.

209
00:19:58,298 --> 00:20:01,301
Jesse. Jesse.

210
00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:06,606
Don't look good.

211
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:25,592
Get down on your knees.

212
00:20:26,793 --> 00:20:28,395
Why?

213
00:20:28,495 --> 00:20:30,960
Well, you ought to pray.

214
00:20:31,398 --> 00:20:32,499
I'm gonna kill you.

215
00:20:39,105 --> 00:20:40,874
Get at!

216
00:20:43,677 --> 00:20:45,478
You're gonna have to make me.

217
00:20:48,782 --> 00:20:50,483
All right.

218
00:21:15,975 --> 00:21:20,800
Don't shoot him! No, don't shoot him.

219
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:35,950
Don't tell me what I can
and cannot do, Ed.

220
00:21:38,898 --> 00:21:40,900
Round them up!

221
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:07,794
Chicago newspaper publishers made
a great deal of the Blue Cut train robbery...

222
00:22:07,894 --> 00:22:09,896
...alleging that in no state
but Missouri...

223
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,600
...would the James brothers be tolerated
for 12 years.

224
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,602
Hey.

225
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:19,406
Can you keep a secret?

226
00:22:20,473 --> 00:22:23,760
It depends on what you're concealing.

227
00:22:24,477 --> 00:22:26,579
You afraid of the dark?

228
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,982
No.

229
00:22:29,482 --> 00:22:31,584
You superstitious?

230
00:22:33,987 --> 00:22:38,992
I put... I put an acorn in the window
to keep the lightning out.

231
00:23:27,474 --> 00:23:32,178
Kid, you must've crept up on cat's paws.

232
00:23:33,790 --> 00:23:36,583
I'll wager that's the first and last time
you'll ever be caught off-guard.

233
00:23:39,786 --> 00:23:40,887
How old are you?

234
00:23:42,288 --> 00:23:43,690
Twenty.

235
00:23:46,393 --> 00:23:50,960
Except, well, I guess I won't
really be 20 till...

236
00:23:50,597 --> 00:23:52,799
Till January, so...

237
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,502
I'm 19.

238
00:23:57,904 --> 00:24:00,974
Yeah, you feel older than that, though,
don't you?

239
00:24:05,779 --> 00:24:07,580
Yeah, I do.

240
00:24:20,593 --> 00:24:24,898
Hey, Frank, you...
You think the sheriff's out already?

241
00:24:26,499 --> 00:24:29,703
- More than likely.
- Yeah.

242
00:24:32,605 --> 00:24:34,374
I had a real fine time tonight.

243
00:24:34,574 --> 00:24:37,777
- You think so?
- Yup. Yeah.

244
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:41,810
Hey, I wasn't just flapping my lips
about my kid brother and me.

245
00:24:41,481 --> 00:24:46,860
What I figured was if you and Jesse could
gauge our courage and our daring...

246
00:24:46,286 --> 00:24:48,488
...you might just make us
your regular sidekicks.

247
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:50,890
Your courage and your daring.

248
00:24:52,192 --> 00:24:57,297
I about heard all I want to about sidekicks.
You sound like your damn brother.

249
00:24:57,397 --> 00:25:01,901
Yeah. Well, I'll be square with you,
it's Bob who put me up to it. He's...

250
00:25:02,502 --> 00:25:05,805
He's got plans for the James boys
I can't even get the hang of.

251
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,774
- They're that complicated.
- Yeah?

252
00:25:08,775 --> 00:25:11,478
Well, you can just
get shed of that idea.

253
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:14,180
Because after tonight,
there'll be no more shenanigans.

254
00:25:14,881 --> 00:25:17,684
You can jot that down in your little diary.

255
00:25:17,884 --> 00:25:22,689
September 7th, 1881, the James Gang
robbed one last train at Blue Cut...

256
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:25,291
...and gave up their night-riding for good.

257
00:25:31,998 --> 00:25:33,500
Wait.

258
00:25:35,101 --> 00:25:37,604
Well, how are you gonna
make your living?

259
00:25:42,575 --> 00:25:44,978
Maybe I'll sell shoes.

260
00:25:54,788 --> 00:25:56,890
I can't believe I woke up this morning...

261
00:25:56,990 --> 00:26:00,293
...wondering if my daddy
would loan me his overcoat...

262
00:26:00,493 --> 00:26:02,395
...and here it is just past midnight...

263
00:26:02,495 --> 00:26:06,990
...I've already robbed a railroad train
and I'm sitting in a rocking chair...

264
00:26:06,299 --> 00:26:08,501
...chatting with none other
than Jesse James.

265
00:26:09,202 --> 00:26:11,905
Yeah, it's a wonderful world.

266
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,820
What's this?

267
00:26:22,282 --> 00:26:23,983
Oh, yeah.

268
00:26:25,185 --> 00:26:29,289
I was real agitated this morning, so I was
wondering if I would know you or Frank...

269
00:26:29,389 --> 00:26:34,594
...tell you all apart, and so I had
this clipping that described you both.

270
00:26:35,950 --> 00:26:36,796
Want me to read it?

271
00:26:37,397 --> 00:26:38,598
Go on.

272
00:26:38,698 --> 00:26:42,802
Well... I gotta find it. Hold on.

273
00:26:43,703 --> 00:26:46,600
Here. Here.

274
00:26:46,106 --> 00:26:50,276
"Jesse James, the youngest, has a face
as smooth and innocent as a schoolgirl.

275
00:26:50,477 --> 00:26:54,781
The blue eyes, very clear and penetrating,
are never at rest.

276
00:26:54,981 --> 00:26:58,485
His form is tall and graceful
and capable of great endurance...

277
00:26:58,685 --> 00:27:00,860
...and great effort.

278
00:27:00,286 --> 00:27:04,290
Jesse is light-hearted, reckless,
and devil-may-care.

279
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:08,695
- There's always a smile on his lips..."
- All right, all right, all right.

280
00:27:08,795 --> 00:27:12,599
Well, yeah, then it just... Frank, Frank,
Frank. That's nothing. And then...

281
00:27:25,780 --> 00:27:26,980
You know what I got
right next to my bed?

282
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:32,686
Is The Train Robbers, or, A Story
of the James Boys by R.W. Stevens.

283
00:27:32,786 --> 00:27:35,789
I mean, many's the night I stayed up...

284
00:27:36,189 --> 00:27:38,391
...with my eyes open
and my mouth open...

285
00:27:38,491 --> 00:27:41,695
...just reading about your escapades
in the Wide Awake Library.

286
00:27:43,797 --> 00:27:45,498
They're all lies, you know.

287
00:27:48,902 --> 00:27:50,904
Yeah, of course they are.

288
00:27:54,174 --> 00:27:57,377
You don't have to keep smoking that
if it's making you bungey.

289
00:28:21,201 --> 00:28:23,603
Alexander Franklin James
would be in Baltimore...

290
00:28:23,803 --> 00:28:27,474
...when he would read of
the assassination of Jesse James.

291
00:28:40,887 --> 00:28:45,492
He had spurned his younger brother
for being peculiar and temperamental.

292
00:28:46,893 --> 00:28:50,196
But once he perceived
that he would never see Jesse again...

293
00:28:50,797 --> 00:28:55,402
...Frank would be wrought-up,
perplexed, despondent.

294
00:29:34,740 --> 00:29:37,377
My brother and me are hardly
on speaking terms these days.

295
00:29:38,778 --> 00:29:41,810
Well, I wasn't gonna mention it.

296
00:29:51,591 --> 00:29:52,992
Are you scared?

297
00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:55,995
No, I'm just surprised a little.

298
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,698
They ain't as succulent as I like,
the devil to clean...

299
00:29:58,898 --> 00:30:01,901
...but if a man skins them
and fries them in garlic and oil...

300
00:30:02,102 --> 00:30:05,500
...mercy, them's good eating.

301
00:30:05,105 --> 00:30:08,475
Well, I never been that hungry.

302
00:30:11,177 --> 00:30:13,279
I give them names.

303
00:30:14,781 --> 00:30:16,182
Such as?

304
00:30:18,885 --> 00:30:21,388
Such as enemies.

305
00:30:22,288 --> 00:30:25,910
I give them names of enemies.

306
00:30:37,804 --> 00:30:40,874
Go tell Wood and Charley
to get their gatherings together.

307
00:30:42,275 --> 00:30:43,877
All right.

308
00:30:45,278 --> 00:30:46,880
Me too?

309
00:30:48,982 --> 00:30:50,984
You can stay.

310
00:30:53,987 --> 00:30:54,988
All right.

311
00:31:01,594 --> 00:31:02,896
Hey.

312
00:31:05,980 --> 00:31:07,801
- What do you want, peckerwood?
- Nothing.

313
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,603
Except to say Jesse wants
you two to gather your parts...

314
00:31:10,804 --> 00:31:13,306
...get on your horses
and get out of town.

315
00:31:13,573 --> 00:31:15,575
And me to stick around.

316
00:31:17,977 --> 00:31:21,810
Well, whoa, I'm his cousin...

317
00:31:21,281 --> 00:31:22,982
...I'll have you know.

318
00:31:23,183 --> 00:31:25,285
My mama's his daddy's sister.

319
00:31:25,685 --> 00:31:27,887
Is that how they described it to you,
Wood?

320
00:31:29,589 --> 00:31:31,691
You better watch your tongue,
young sapling.

321
00:31:31,891 --> 00:31:35,295
Why is it me who's gotta rattle his hocks
out of town and not you, Bunny?

322
00:31:35,395 --> 00:31:37,197
Put your horns away.
If I know Jess...

323
00:31:37,297 --> 00:31:40,600
...there's some real nasty
sad-suzie work's gotta be done...

324
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,803
...and Bob's the ninny that has to do it.

325
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,306
Oh, yeah, I'm sure that's it, Charley.

326
00:31:47,974 --> 00:31:52,679
You only met him 12 hours ago.
He doesn't even know your name.

327
00:31:53,780 --> 00:31:57,183
Wood! You tell your daddy
I'll be in Kentucky in October.

328
00:31:58,585 --> 00:32:00,987
We can hunt some birds together.

329
00:32:01,488 --> 00:32:02,989
All right.

330
00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:07,193
So how come it's Bob who gets to stay?

331
00:32:09,796 --> 00:32:12,799
Bob's gonna move my gear to a house
down the street.

332
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,901
See?

333
00:32:15,602 --> 00:32:18,204
- I don't mind.
- Yeah, well.

334
00:32:18,304 --> 00:32:20,373
Sounds like an adventure.

335
00:32:24,978 --> 00:32:28,810
They moved to 1017 Troost Avenue
at night...

336
00:32:28,281 --> 00:32:32,786
...so that the neighborhood couldn't get
a good look at them or their belongings.

337
00:32:34,487 --> 00:32:37,190
Then Bob thought Jesse
would give him eight hours' sleep...

338
00:32:37,290 --> 00:32:39,693
...and a daydreaming goodbye.

339
00:32:42,696 --> 00:32:45,699
But with a second day
in the Thomas Howard house...

340
00:32:45,899 --> 00:32:47,901
...Bob thought he might never go...

341
00:32:48,802 --> 00:32:52,605
...but might be brought in
as a good-natured cousin to the boy...

342
00:32:53,973 --> 00:32:56,776
...and a gentleman helper to Zee.

343
00:32:59,779 --> 00:33:01,481
He went everywhere with Jesse.

344
00:33:01,681 --> 00:33:03,983
They made trips
to the Topeka Exchange Saloon...

345
00:33:04,184 --> 00:33:07,987
...where Jesse could spend nearly
60 minutes sipping one glass of beer...

346
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,391
...and still complain about feeling tipsy.

347
00:33:11,991 --> 00:33:14,994
Bob would rarely vouchsafe his opinions
as they talked.

348
00:33:15,195 --> 00:33:18,698
If spoken to, he would fidget and grin.

349
00:33:19,499 --> 00:33:23,503
If Jesse palavered with another person,
Bob secretaried their dialogue...

350
00:33:23,703 --> 00:33:27,474
...getting each inflection,
reading every gesture and tic...

351
00:33:27,574 --> 00:33:30,777
...as if he wanted to compose
a biography of the outlaw...

352
00:33:30,977 --> 00:33:33,980
...or as if he were preparing
an impersonation.

353
00:33:49,796 --> 00:33:51,698
Go away.

354
00:33:54,601 --> 00:33:58,304
Used to be couldn't no one sneak up
on Jesse James.

355
00:33:59,606 --> 00:34:01,975
Now you think otherwise?

356
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,279
I ain't never seen you without your guns,
neither.

357
00:34:19,492 --> 00:34:21,895
I can't figure it out.

358
00:34:22,796 --> 00:34:24,898
Do you wanna be like me...

359
00:34:25,398 --> 00:34:26,900
...or do you wanna be me?

360
00:34:32,806 --> 00:34:34,974
I'm just making fun, is all.

361
00:34:37,677 --> 00:34:40,880
Bob was sent away cordially
the next day...

362
00:34:41,810 --> 00:34:42,582
...with a goodbye from Jesse...

363
00:34:42,782 --> 00:34:46,686
...but nothing from Zee
beyond what good manners demanded.

364
00:34:50,290 --> 00:34:53,930
It was 40 miles to his sister's farm
from Kansas City.

365
00:34:54,394 --> 00:34:58,698
And it was well into the afternoon
by the time he arrived there.

366
00:34:59,699 --> 00:35:03,803
Mrs. Martha Bolton rented
the Harbison farm in 1879...

367
00:35:03,903 --> 00:35:06,506
...just after becoming a widow.

368
00:35:06,973 --> 00:35:09,676
And she made a good income
by giving rooms and meals...

369
00:35:09,876 --> 00:35:14,981
...to her brothers Charley, Wilbur and Bob,
and to members of the James Gang...

370
00:35:15,181 --> 00:35:17,684
...who would appear
whenever they needed seclusion.

371
00:35:19,786 --> 00:35:22,689
She's gonna upchuck
if you don't watch out!

372
00:35:23,289 --> 00:35:26,493
Wood Hite had been spurned by Martha
in his affections...

373
00:35:26,693 --> 00:35:29,396
...and his attempt to switch his pursuit
to her daughter...

374
00:35:31,598 --> 00:35:34,901
Wait a second, you assured me
that you were not ticklish.

375
00:35:35,101 --> 00:35:36,102
Howdy!

376
00:35:36,302 --> 00:35:38,104
What's going on, now?
What's going on...?

377
00:35:38,304 --> 00:35:41,740
- Howdy!
- Were you fibbing about that?

378
00:35:41,274 --> 00:35:43,760
- No.
- Not at all.

379
00:35:46,479 --> 00:35:48,882
Well, you're just so pretty
I can't help myself.

380
00:35:49,820 --> 00:35:51,584
- You need to be warning him about that.
- Howdy.

381
00:35:51,785 --> 00:35:55,689
Worry about the field instead,
might be able to worry about the work...

382
00:35:55,889 --> 00:35:57,691
Howdy!

383
00:35:58,491 --> 00:36:01,494
- Finally home.
- I'm so glad, Bob.

384
00:36:01,594 --> 00:36:04,297
I'm in that room too, Bob.
Don't mess with my things.

385
00:36:04,497 --> 00:36:06,499
All right, Grandpa.

386
00:36:12,305 --> 00:36:17,877
"July 9th. Diligence, tact,
and a keen sense of responsibility...

387
00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:22,482
...capacity for detail are your dominant
traits. Your sense of duty's strong."

388
00:37:06,793 --> 00:37:08,395
How long you been there?

389
00:37:08,595 --> 00:37:11,498
Just now arrived. Did I miss much?

390
00:37:13,199 --> 00:37:16,703
Not unless you never seen a man
wash his dirty carcass before.

391
00:37:16,903 --> 00:37:20,273
Boy, you got a big old pecker
for being such a little squirrel.

392
00:37:24,377 --> 00:37:25,879
No.

393
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,283
Your brother said that Jesse
kept you in Kansas City some extra days.

394
00:37:30,383 --> 00:37:31,484
What was the reason?

395
00:37:33,687 --> 00:37:37,590
Well, I'm not at liberty to say exactly.

396
00:37:37,991 --> 00:37:43,496
Let me ask you this. Did Jesse mention
that me and Cummins were in cahoots?

397
00:37:44,698 --> 00:37:45,899
Is that so?

398
00:37:45,999 --> 00:37:50,300
Oh, dear. I went on and said too much,
have I?

399
00:37:50,303 --> 00:37:52,405
Well, who else is partners with you two?

400
00:37:54,774 --> 00:37:59,279
See, he'll cut our throats if he finds out.
You don't know him like I do.

401
00:37:59,479 --> 00:38:03,383
You do Jesse dirt,
you connive behind his back...

402
00:38:03,583 --> 00:38:06,386
...boy, he'll come after you
with a cleaver.

403
00:38:09,890 --> 00:38:11,591
So, what are you two cahoots
cooking up?

404
00:38:14,594 --> 00:38:16,296
Don't know that I should say.

405
00:38:17,397 --> 00:38:19,499
I'm not gonna wheedle
the dang news from you.

406
00:38:19,699 --> 00:38:21,501
How about we'll leave it a mystery...

407
00:38:21,701 --> 00:38:25,905
...and then we won't neither one of us
regret our little chat?

408
00:38:31,678 --> 00:38:34,381
Can you hand me that six-gun there, Bob?

409
00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:47,594
If you so much as mention my name
to Jesse...

410
00:38:47,794 --> 00:38:50,960
...boy, I'll find out about it.

411
00:38:50,296 --> 00:38:53,299
You had better believe that.

412
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,502
And I'll look you up.

413
00:38:55,702 --> 00:39:00,573
I'll knock on your door,
and I will be as mad as a hornet.

414
00:39:01,274 --> 00:39:03,476
I will be hot.

415
00:39:16,489 --> 00:39:20,930
You know where I stand on these matters
and that's all there is to it.

416
00:39:20,193 --> 00:39:23,797
Me and you can be as friendly as pigs
from now on.

417
00:39:49,289 --> 00:39:52,792
I'm Bunny Ford, stick your hands
up in the air!

418
00:39:52,992 --> 00:39:54,694
Mister.

419
00:39:59,899 --> 00:40:02,202
Oh, you have some nerve.

420
00:40:03,503 --> 00:40:08,875
We were just reading about the James boys
among the Mexicans.

421
00:40:10,577 --> 00:40:13,279
What's this? This ain't Jesse.

422
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,583
- You don't know that.
- He would've never wore no mustache.

423
00:40:16,783 --> 00:40:19,850
Never was anywheres near a cannon.

424
00:40:19,285 --> 00:40:21,688
Let me see that picture.

425
00:40:21,888 --> 00:40:24,591
Boy, I can't even calculate
what I'm looking at.

426
00:40:24,891 --> 00:40:26,993
- Give me that.
- Ever since he was a child...

427
00:40:27,193 --> 00:40:30,397
...Bob's collected whatsoever he could find
about the James brothers.

428
00:40:30,497 --> 00:40:32,699
Yeah, got himself a little museum
in his room.

429
00:40:32,899 --> 00:40:36,503
Next time you come snooping around,
you better strap on a shooting iron!

430
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:39,506
Well, you can see how scared I am.

431
00:40:39,706 --> 00:40:43,576
You too, Wood Hite. Cross me again,
I'll put a bullet through your head!

432
00:40:44,577 --> 00:40:45,779
Boy, you...

433
00:40:46,479 --> 00:40:49,820
Son, you better recollect
who my cousin is...

434
00:40:49,282 --> 00:40:53,386
...because you've seemed to misremembered
that Jesse loves me like the Good Book.

435
00:40:53,486 --> 00:40:57,190
Now, you may play it like you're
a dangerous person in the grocery store...

436
00:40:57,290 --> 00:40:59,693
...but don't misremember
who you be accounting to...

437
00:40:59,893 --> 00:41:02,295
...if I so much get my feelings hurt.
- I don't care!

438
00:41:02,495 --> 00:41:04,970
Do I have to yell "suwee"?

439
00:41:04,197 --> 00:41:06,199
Why don't we make up,
be pleasant for once?

440
00:41:06,399 --> 00:41:09,202
Why don't we pass the evening
like pleasant human beings?

441
00:41:09,402 --> 00:41:11,604
I like your nickel suit, cowboy.

442
00:41:37,497 --> 00:41:39,199
You see something?

443
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:42,302
Just a bird.

444
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,874
The month of October came...

445
00:41:48,740 --> 00:41:51,578
...and Jesse began seeing
Pinkerton operatives in every floor walker...

446
00:41:51,678 --> 00:41:56,820
...street sweeper, and common man
poking about in a store.

447
00:41:58,385 --> 00:42:00,887
On the morning of the 11th,
he would wake his wife...

448
00:42:01,870 --> 00:42:05,291
...with the Scripture pertaining to
the Holy Family's flight into Egypt.

449
00:42:08,995 --> 00:42:13,900
Overnight, the Thomas Howard clan
vanished from Kansas City.

450
00:42:24,377 --> 00:42:27,800
Shortly thereafter,
four of the Blue Cut train robbers...

451
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,830
...were arrested in shacks near Glendale.

452
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,792
How Jesse could have known
remains a mystery.

453
00:42:50,904 --> 00:42:53,873
Theirs was a wandering existence.

454
00:42:53,973 --> 00:42:55,675
Men who choose to be outlaws...

455
00:42:55,875 --> 00:42:59,879
...cannot afford to remain in one place
for very long.

456
00:43:08,888 --> 00:43:13,193
- Well, goodness. Maybe I'll change my mind.
- Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

457
00:43:13,293 --> 00:43:15,595
- Martha.
- Buck up, man.

458
00:43:19,499 --> 00:43:24,404
...until they made Russellville, home
of Major George Hite, Wood's father...

459
00:43:24,604 --> 00:43:27,674
...and uncle to Frank and Jesse James.

460
00:43:35,782 --> 00:43:37,984
You stay away from this one.

461
00:43:38,785 --> 00:43:40,787
She's my daddy's wife.

462
00:43:41,688 --> 00:43:43,890
You got it?

463
00:44:06,980 --> 00:44:08,581
Did you cook this, ma'am?

464
00:44:11,885 --> 00:44:14,187
I've got a nigger woman.

465
00:44:16,289 --> 00:44:17,290
How's that?

466
00:44:25,398 --> 00:44:26,900
Did you?

467
00:44:29,402 --> 00:44:30,503
No.

468
00:44:39,679 --> 00:44:42,820
She knew what he was like
when she married him.

469
00:45:08,575 --> 00:45:12,879
I guess we're the night owls, you and I.

470
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,820
I'm glad.

471
00:45:18,385 --> 00:45:19,886
How come?

472
00:45:20,887 --> 00:45:23,490
You're interesting to look at.

473
00:45:24,391 --> 00:45:27,894
You have a real pleasant disposition.

474
00:45:29,496 --> 00:45:33,400
And I don't know, you sort of
make me feel warm all over.

475
00:45:35,402 --> 00:45:40,730
You know, I'm what they call a...
An inamorato.

476
00:45:43,977 --> 00:45:48,682
Well, I knew
there had to be a name for it.

477
00:45:52,485 --> 00:45:54,688
You and the Hites
don't get along too well...

478
00:45:54,888 --> 00:45:58,910
...if I'm to trust Wood and his version
of the situation.

479
00:45:59,292 --> 00:46:02,796
We hate each other like poison,
if you wanna know the truth.

480
00:46:03,496 --> 00:46:07,200
Most of the Hites wouldn't spit on me
if I was on fire.

481
00:46:09,402 --> 00:46:12,205
They say that when a woman's on fire...

482
00:46:12,405 --> 00:46:16,776
...you're supposed to roll her around on
the ground and cover her with your body.

483
00:46:18,178 --> 00:46:20,880
Well, you are a naughty tease.

484
00:46:27,487 --> 00:46:29,789
Isn't it about bedtime?

485
00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:33,993
Well, I'll just kiss those dainty nubbins.

486
00:46:47,874 --> 00:46:49,275
Good night.

487
00:46:51,878 --> 00:46:52,979
Would you stop?

488
00:46:58,284 --> 00:47:02,288
Boy, I believe I drank too much coffee.

489
00:47:05,992 --> 00:47:09,262
I gotta go visit the privy
something terrible.

490
00:47:36,322 --> 00:47:38,625
This is embarrassing.

491
00:47:39,292 --> 00:47:43,396
Now, you go ahead and do your duty.
I don't mind.

492
00:47:44,597 --> 00:47:48,601
I've sort of got stage fright with
a strange man in the commode with me.

493
00:47:48,802 --> 00:47:50,303
I ain't strange.

494
00:47:50,603 --> 00:47:53,506
I'm built just like the rest of them.

495
00:47:56,309 --> 00:47:59,412
You look awful pretty.

496
00:48:00,814 --> 00:48:02,515
Do I?

497
00:48:02,916 --> 00:48:07,620
I haven't never in my life seen
such well-shaped limbs.

498
00:48:15,950 --> 00:48:17,297
Is Wood awake?

499
00:48:19,499 --> 00:48:20,800
It's just me.

500
00:48:29,609 --> 00:48:32,612
And I bet you thought I was a lady.

501
00:49:19,392 --> 00:49:21,695
Well, you ain't much of a housekeeper,
are you?

502
00:49:25,980 --> 00:49:26,700
You didn't just happen by.

503
00:49:29,202 --> 00:49:30,904
Why not?

504
00:49:58,980 --> 00:50:01,000
Go on and take a load off your feet.

505
00:50:25,992 --> 00:50:28,940
You ought to get yourself a wife.

506
00:50:28,495 --> 00:50:29,796
Yeah.

507
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:31,898
I suppose.

508
00:50:35,301 --> 00:50:38,505
I was gonna ask Martha. Charley's sister.

509
00:50:38,705 --> 00:50:42,108
I was gonna ask her
if she could imagine it.

510
00:50:43,309 --> 00:50:46,212
But I guess Wood has plans of his own.

511
00:50:50,517 --> 00:50:52,519
I'll give it some thought, though.

512
00:50:53,219 --> 00:50:55,221
Your crops come in?

513
00:50:56,423 --> 00:51:01,494
No, I don't got much.
Just a garden patch and a pasture.

514
00:51:03,797 --> 00:51:06,990
I was sick at planting time.

515
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:08,601
So...

516
00:51:10,804 --> 00:51:13,106
Ed, how you feeling now?

517
00:51:15,909 --> 00:51:17,100
Why?

518
00:51:18,912 --> 00:51:21,114
You're acting queer.

519
00:51:29,622 --> 00:51:33,293
Well, you and me ain't been
just real good friends lately.

520
00:51:34,194 --> 00:51:37,297
That's not your fault,
you understand that.

521
00:51:39,699 --> 00:51:41,301
You hear talk, though.

522
00:51:43,403 --> 00:51:44,804
Talk?

523
00:51:48,708 --> 00:51:50,910
People tell you things.

524
00:51:58,418 --> 00:52:00,520
Why don't you give me an example?

525
00:52:04,824 --> 00:52:06,993
Jim Cummins come by here.

526
00:52:08,595 --> 00:52:09,896
Jim Cummins.

527
00:52:11,197 --> 00:52:13,400
Oh, and Jim says:

528
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,706
"You know them boys
that got caught in the Blue Cut deal?"

529
00:52:22,809 --> 00:52:26,413
Well, Jim says he got word...

530
00:52:29,115 --> 00:52:33,119
...that you're planning to kill them.

531
00:52:35,210 --> 00:52:37,223
Why would I do that?

532
00:52:39,192 --> 00:52:41,294
That's just talk probably.

533
00:52:45,298 --> 00:52:49,202
Jim Cummins. He say anything else?

534
00:52:49,502 --> 00:52:53,406
Nope. No, that was it, basically.

535
00:53:03,817 --> 00:53:06,219
That still don't explain why you're scared.

536
00:53:09,823 --> 00:53:12,692
Well, I'm in the same situation, you see.

537
00:53:13,393 --> 00:53:15,495
I was terrified I saw you ride up.

538
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,990
- I just happened by, Ed.
- Suppose you heard gossip, though.

539
00:53:19,299 --> 00:53:22,202
Suppose you heard Jim Cummins
come by, you might have thought...

540
00:53:22,402 --> 00:53:27,307
...that we were planning to capture you
or get that reward, and that ain't true.

541
00:53:27,507 --> 00:53:29,809
But you might have suspected it.

542
00:53:48,194 --> 00:53:50,797
Haven't heard a lick of gossip lately.

543
00:53:50,997 --> 00:53:55,402
I got 600 dollars stashed away.
I don't need no governor's reward.

544
00:53:58,304 --> 00:54:00,206
Well, it's the principle too.

545
00:54:05,211 --> 00:54:06,713
Well...

546
00:54:07,130 --> 00:54:10,517
- I'm glad I stopped by.
- Oh, me too.

547
00:54:35,308 --> 00:54:38,411
What do you say
if we were to go for a ride?

548
00:54:43,316 --> 00:54:46,219
We can go into town. I'll buy you dinner.

549
00:54:47,821 --> 00:54:50,123
Then I'll be on my way.

550
00:54:59,990 --> 00:55:00,800
Okay.

551
00:56:01,194 --> 00:56:02,996
You ready to go for a ride?

552
00:56:18,812 --> 00:56:21,114
We going to your place?

553
00:56:26,190 --> 00:56:28,121
You seen Ed Miller lately?

554
00:56:29,522 --> 00:56:31,624
Nobody has.

555
00:56:35,395 --> 00:56:37,997
Must have gone off to California.

556
00:56:42,102 --> 00:56:44,404
I'd still like to know where we're going.

557
00:56:49,609 --> 00:56:53,513
If you were going to see Jim Cummins,
wouldn't you follow this road?

558
00:56:58,918 --> 00:57:00,720
I guess so.

559
00:57:43,697 --> 00:57:45,198
Howdy.

560
00:57:56,900 --> 00:57:58,211
Oh, are you friends of my pa's?

561
00:58:03,216 --> 00:58:05,118
We're friends of Jim Cummins.

562
00:58:09,222 --> 00:58:12,125
Well, it so happens
he's been gone since August.

563
00:58:12,325 --> 00:58:14,294
And never said where he gone to.

564
00:58:19,299 --> 00:58:22,502
- I'm Matt Collins.
- Albert Ford.

565
00:58:22,702 --> 00:58:24,604
Very happy to meet you.

566
00:58:46,493 --> 00:58:48,495
I don't know where he is!
Leave me alone!

567
00:58:48,695 --> 00:58:50,497
Shut your mouth!
You shut your mouth!

568
00:58:52,499 --> 00:58:55,301
- You shut your mouth.
- I don't know where he is!

569
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,400
- I don't know!
- Get in there.

570
00:58:58,905 --> 00:58:59,906
Shut up.

571
00:59:00,106 --> 00:59:02,609
- I don't know where he is!
- Shut up.

572
00:59:03,710 --> 00:59:05,211
- I don't know!
- Shut up.

573
00:59:05,311 --> 00:59:06,413
- Jesus.
- Shut up.

574
00:59:06,613 --> 00:59:08,715
Jesse, he's just a kid.

575
00:59:09,115 --> 00:59:12,719
He knows where his uncle Jim is and
that's gonna make him old soon enough.

576
00:59:12,919 --> 00:59:15,221
- Maybe he doesn't know.
- He knows!

577
00:59:15,422 --> 00:59:17,230
You need to ask and ask sometimes.

578
00:59:17,223 --> 00:59:20,794
Sometimes a child don't remember so much
at first. But it'll come back to him.

579
00:59:22,896 --> 00:59:25,398
My goodness, she's about to rip off,
sweetie.

580
00:59:25,598 --> 00:59:27,600
Just a little more here to get her started.

581
00:59:27,801 --> 00:59:30,503
Then I think I can rip her off
like a page from a book.

582
00:59:30,704 --> 00:59:32,806
Jesus, he can't even talk.

583
00:59:35,608 --> 00:59:37,210
Where's Jim?

584
00:59:37,410 --> 00:59:38,812
Where's Jim?

585
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,140
Where's Jim? Where's Jim?

586
00:59:41,114 --> 00:59:44,517
Where's Jim? Where's Jim? Where's Jim?

587
00:59:44,818 --> 00:59:47,120
- Where's Jim?
- Quit it!

588
00:59:47,620 --> 00:59:50,230
You bastard! I don't know where he is!

589
00:59:50,223 --> 00:59:52,992
You won't believe me!
You never even gave me a chance!

590
00:59:53,193 --> 00:59:55,195
You kept my... You kept my mouth shut!

591
00:59:56,596 --> 00:59:59,999
I never know where Jim is or
when he comes! So leave me alone.

592
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,602
Get off me, you son of a *****!

593
01:00:55,622 --> 01:00:57,624
I'm worn out.

594
01:00:57,824 --> 01:01:00,694
I can't. No, see...

595
01:01:03,697 --> 01:01:06,299
My mind's all tangled anyway.

596
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,303
Little deals like this
just make me feel dirty.

597
01:01:31,324 --> 01:01:33,393
Are you all right, Jesse?

598
01:02:01,921 --> 01:02:03,823
Jesse was sick...

599
01:02:03,923 --> 01:02:08,395
...with rheums, and aches
and lung congestions.

600
01:02:09,295 --> 01:02:12,599
Insomnia stained
his eye sockets like soot.

601
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,403
He read auguries in
the snarled intestines of chickens...

602
01:02:17,604 --> 01:02:21,207
...or the blow of cat hair
released to the wind.

603
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:27,130
And the omens promised bad luck,
which moated and dungeoned him.

604
01:03:08,722 --> 01:03:11,224
How come it's you
that's gotta do all the chores?

605
01:03:11,424 --> 01:03:15,595
Charley and Bob pay extry to Martha
so that they don't have to.

606
01:03:16,896 --> 01:03:18,998
It still don't seem fair.

607
01:03:25,805 --> 01:03:27,307
Martha.

608
01:03:29,109 --> 01:03:31,711
Well, look what the cat dragged in.

609
01:03:36,516 --> 01:03:37,717
You come from Kentucky?

610
01:03:41,121 --> 01:03:45,250
Why do you have your head in a hole,
Martha?

611
01:03:53,299 --> 01:03:54,601
Cover the kettle, Ida.

612
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:10,160
Well, he tampered
with my daddy's wife...

613
01:04:10,216 --> 01:04:13,620
...while a pork chop
burned on the skillet...

614
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,321
...so I shot at him.

615
01:04:20,293 --> 01:04:24,698
Ida! Do not stick your thumb
in the cream when you skim it.

616
01:04:25,899 --> 01:04:31,104
His chicanery and his philandering ways...

617
01:04:31,304 --> 01:04:33,306
...has instigated such malice.

618
01:04:33,406 --> 01:04:37,410
He's a yellow snake in the grass
and he can't be trusted, Martha.

619
01:04:45,118 --> 01:04:47,821
Wood Hite's downstairs.

620
01:04:48,521 --> 01:04:50,223
You mean he's here?

621
01:04:52,892 --> 01:04:55,595
Yeah, he come in late last night.

622
01:04:59,399 --> 01:05:00,400
Hey, simmer down!

623
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:05,105
Don't get into a fracas up there, you boys!
I've got breakfast almost ready.

624
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,204
He's still sucking air.

625
01:07:19,406 --> 01:07:21,608
But I think he's a goner.

626
01:07:31,718 --> 01:07:35,210
Maybe y'all better come wish him well
on his journey.

627
01:08:01,815 --> 01:08:03,316
Wood?

628
01:08:05,719 --> 01:08:08,210
You were a good fellow, Wood.

629
01:08:08,221 --> 01:08:11,725
Oh, I sure hope you're not
in frightful pain, Wood.

630
01:08:12,325 --> 01:08:15,995
I'd get you something to drink,
but I'm afraid you'd just choke on it.

631
01:08:17,397 --> 01:08:19,599
Little Ida's gonna miss you.

632
01:08:19,799 --> 01:08:21,901
So is the rest of the family.

633
01:08:25,105 --> 01:08:28,708
Well, one thing's settled.
Can't take him into Richmond.

634
01:08:29,809 --> 01:08:30,910
Why not?

635
01:08:32,312 --> 01:08:34,914
Well, one, sheriff'll put Bob in jail.

636
01:08:35,115 --> 01:08:38,918
And two, Jesse'll find out his cousin
Wood's been shot in our house...

637
01:08:39,119 --> 01:08:42,522
...and then that'll be the end
of each and every one of us.

638
01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:56,102
"And in one merciless, violent thrust
broke in...

639
01:08:56,503 --> 01:08:59,406
...and carried all before him,
and scented and brewed...

640
01:08:59,506 --> 01:09:02,108
...reeking with blood of my virginity...

641
01:09:02,208 --> 01:09:06,813
...up to its utmost length in my body."

642
01:09:08,415 --> 01:09:11,217
He ain't disappeared,
if that's what you were hoping.

643
01:09:15,722 --> 01:09:17,724
What chapter you on?

644
01:09:18,224 --> 01:09:23,196
She's met some Algerian corsair
down at Gibraltar.

645
01:09:23,396 --> 01:09:25,699
Got herself all agitated.

646
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:29,502
How's that leg?

647
01:09:30,303 --> 01:09:34,407
Full of torment, Bob. Thanks for asking.

648
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:12,645
Blessed are them that mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

649
01:10:14,848 --> 01:10:16,750
Blessed are the...

650
01:10:20,253 --> 01:10:21,755
Meek.

651
01:10:24,570 --> 01:10:25,959
Blessed are the meek.

652
01:11:01,861 --> 01:11:03,963
- Is it him?
- Yeah.

653
01:11:04,164 --> 01:11:07,167
Why is he here? Does he know
about Wood, do you think?

654
01:11:07,367 --> 01:11:09,769
I don't know. All I know is
he don't miss very much.

655
01:11:09,869 --> 01:11:13,840
- What should I say about you if he asks?
- Tell him I'm in K.C. with Mattie.

656
01:11:16,543 --> 01:11:20,347
He was buffalo hunting.
He was thrilled to meet yours truly.

657
01:11:20,547 --> 01:11:24,451
Yeah, over there in Europe there's only
two Americans they know for certain...

658
01:11:24,651 --> 01:11:27,554
...Mark Twain and Jesse James.

659
01:11:28,955 --> 01:11:32,158
- Why, it's the kid.
- How's everything?

660
01:11:34,661 --> 01:11:37,263
- I never take off my gun belts.
- Yeah?

661
01:11:37,364 --> 01:11:38,965
Good thinking.

662
01:11:45,710 --> 01:11:47,340
Well, Charley, did you hurt your leg?

663
01:11:49,843 --> 01:11:51,845
Yeah, I slipped...
I slipped off the roof...

664
01:11:52,450 --> 01:11:55,648
...and I smacked down into a snow bank
like a ton of stupidness.

665
01:11:55,849 --> 01:11:58,451
One second I'm screaming,
"Whoa, Nelly!"

666
01:11:58,651 --> 01:12:01,354
Next second, poof,
I'm neck-deep in snow.

667
01:12:04,257 --> 01:12:08,610
Well, whatever possessed you
to climb a roof in December?

668
01:12:14,670 --> 01:12:17,570
There was a k... A kite. What am I saying?
There was a cat.

669
01:12:17,771 --> 01:12:20,140
A cat. It was on the roof
and I went after him.

670
01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:24,944
It was a tomcat yowling
and what all, and I slipped.

671
01:12:36,956 --> 01:12:40,600
I thought maybe your club foot
was gaining on you.

672
01:12:49,690 --> 01:12:50,770
Oh, yeah.

673
01:13:15,362 --> 01:13:18,264
Hey, here's a cute story, Jess.

674
01:13:18,465 --> 01:13:21,768
Bobby was what, 11 or 12...

675
01:13:21,968 --> 01:13:25,171
...and you were by far
his most admired personage.

676
01:13:25,672 --> 01:13:26,740
He couldn't get enough.

677
01:13:26,940 --> 01:13:31,144
It was "Jesse this" and "Jesse that"
and "Jesse this" from sunrise to sunset.

678
01:13:31,344 --> 01:13:32,445
Fascinating.

679
01:13:32,645 --> 01:13:34,347
No, there's more. This is cute.

680
01:13:34,547 --> 01:13:39,252
We're at supper and Bob asks,
"You know what size boot Jesse wears?"

681
01:13:39,452 --> 01:13:43,156
- Charley, Jesse doesn't wanna hear this.
- Shush, now, Bob, let me tell it.

682
01:13:43,356 --> 01:13:46,359
Bob says... He says, "You know
what size boot Jesse wears?"

683
01:13:46,559 --> 01:13:49,763
He says, "Six and a half." He says,
"Ain't that a big enough boot...

684
01:13:49,963 --> 01:13:51,765
...for a man 5'8"tall?"

685
01:13:51,865 --> 01:13:55,769
I decided to josh him a little, you know,
he being my kid brother and everything.

686
01:13:55,869 --> 01:13:58,972
So I said, "He doesn't have toes is why."

687
01:13:59,172 --> 01:14:00,640
That's a really stupid story.

688
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:05,445
"He was dangling his feet off a culvert
and a catfish nibbled his toes off."

689
01:14:05,645 --> 01:14:08,348
Bob taxed himself trying to picture it.

690
01:14:15,255 --> 01:14:17,857
That'd be a good joke if it was funny.

691
01:14:18,758 --> 01:14:21,261
Isn't that a cute story, Jess?

692
01:14:31,171 --> 01:14:34,400
Give me some more conversations, Bob.

693
01:14:39,450 --> 01:14:44,250
I got one. This one's about as crackerjack...
It's the one about your...

694
01:14:44,451 --> 01:14:46,353
Let Bob tell it.

695
01:14:47,754 --> 01:14:49,456
All right.

696
01:14:56,620 --> 01:14:58,640
I don't even know
what you're talking about.

697
01:14:58,264 --> 01:15:02,268
About how you and Jesse
have so much in common.

698
01:15:05,271 --> 01:15:06,940
Go on, Bob.

699
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,420
Yeah, come on, Bob.

700
01:15:09,743 --> 01:15:12,450
Tell us a story.

701
01:15:13,947 --> 01:15:18,551
- Nope. No.
- Come on, entertain Jesse. He's here.

702
01:15:25,558 --> 01:15:27,600
Come on.

703
01:15:33,967 --> 01:15:37,871
Well, if you'll pardon my saying so,
I guess...

704
01:15:38,710 --> 01:15:42,420
...it is interesting the many ways
you and I overlap and whatnot.

705
01:15:43,343 --> 01:15:46,146
I mean, you begin with our daddies.

706
01:15:46,346 --> 01:15:49,249
Your daddy was a pastor
at the New Hope Baptist Church...

707
01:15:49,449 --> 01:15:54,154
...and my daddy was a pastor
at the church in Excelsior Springs.

708
01:15:55,655 --> 01:15:59,959
You're the youngest of three James boys,
and I'm the youngest of five Ford boys.

709
01:16:01,761 --> 01:16:04,464
Between Charley and me,
there's another brother, Wilbur...

710
01:16:04,664 --> 01:16:06,666
...with six letters in his name.

711
01:16:06,966 --> 01:16:12,572
And between Frank and you, is another
brother Robert, also with six letters.

712
01:16:12,739 --> 01:16:16,543
And my Christian name
is Robert, of course.

713
01:16:17,844 --> 01:16:20,460
You have blue eyes, I have blue eyes.

714
01:16:20,146 --> 01:16:24,150
You're 5'8"tall, I'm 5'8" tall.

715
01:16:28,955 --> 01:16:34,361
Me, I must have had a list as long as
your nightshirt when I was 12, but...

716
01:16:34,461 --> 01:16:37,964
...I seem to have lost some curiosities
over the years.

717
01:16:56,149 --> 01:16:58,351
Ain't he something?

718
01:17:10,964 --> 01:17:15,168
Did I ever tell you the story about
that scalawag, George Shepherd?

719
01:17:15,468 --> 01:17:17,370
Shepherd's one of
Quantrill's lieutenants.

720
01:17:17,570 --> 01:17:20,240
He give me a story much like Bob's
what bring him to mind.

721
01:17:20,740 --> 01:17:23,243
Going on about how much
we had in common, and so on...

722
01:17:23,443 --> 01:17:25,945
...so he could get in the gang.

723
01:17:26,146 --> 01:17:29,249
How could I have known
he had a grudge against me?

724
01:17:29,449 --> 01:17:33,953
How could I have known
he was lying to get on my good side?

725
01:17:34,154 --> 01:17:39,590
I said, "George, come on aboard.
Glad to have you."

726
01:17:39,259 --> 01:17:44,640
George thought he was smart,
except he wasn't.

727
01:17:45,650 --> 01:17:48,168
One morning, George rides into camp...

728
01:17:48,368 --> 01:17:50,570
...and about 20 guns open up on him.

729
01:17:54,341 --> 01:17:58,745
See, old George, he only had one eye. You
gotta have two eyes, you wanna get Jesse.

730
01:18:03,650 --> 01:18:06,753
You ought not think of me
like you do George Shepherd.

731
01:18:08,154 --> 01:18:10,357
You brought him to mind.

732
01:18:11,257 --> 01:18:13,560
Well, it's not very flattering.

733
01:18:19,566 --> 01:18:22,369
Sure is good eating, Martha.

734
01:18:23,269 --> 01:18:25,472
Well, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

735
01:18:25,672 --> 01:18:27,741
How come George
had a grudge against you?

736
01:18:32,645 --> 01:18:36,750
I said, how come George
had a grudge against you?

737
01:18:42,555 --> 01:18:47,260
Well, you see, George had a nephew
he wanted me to protect during the war.

738
01:18:47,460 --> 01:18:49,662
This nephew had 5000 dollars on him.

739
01:18:49,863 --> 01:18:54,467
It just so happens he winds up killed
and someone swipes that money.

740
01:18:54,567 --> 01:18:58,471
And when George is in prison,
someone whispers to him:

741
01:18:58,672 --> 01:19:02,342
"It was Jesse James
slit the boy's throat."

742
01:19:07,470 --> 01:19:09,549
It was just mean gossip, was it?

743
01:19:11,351 --> 01:19:14,654
Bob's the expert. Let's put it to him.

744
01:19:19,759 --> 01:19:22,162
Oh, dear, I made him cranky.

745
01:19:22,362 --> 01:19:26,166
I'm not cranky. I just been
through this before is all.

746
01:19:26,266 --> 01:19:29,469
Most people get around on making fun
of me. They don't ever let up.

747
01:19:29,669 --> 01:19:31,671
Someone's getting awful fresh over there.

748
01:19:31,871 --> 01:19:34,541
Woman, shut your face for once.

749
01:19:41,548 --> 01:19:43,850
Don't want you to skip off
to your room and pout...

750
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:46,553
...without knowing why I come by
for this visit.

751
01:19:47,454 --> 01:19:49,656
Why? So you could
tell us how sorry you are...

752
01:19:49,856 --> 01:19:52,359
...you had to slap our cousin Albert around?

753
01:20:05,972 --> 01:20:07,841
I come by...

754
01:20:07,941 --> 01:20:11,344
...to ask if one of you two Fords...

755
01:20:11,544 --> 01:20:14,948
...would care to ride with me
in a journey or two.

756
01:20:15,348 --> 01:20:18,752
I guess we both agree
it ought to be Charley.

757
01:20:18,852 --> 01:20:21,654
You've been acting sort of testy.

758
01:20:52,652 --> 01:20:54,854
Have you seen Wood Hite lately?

759
01:20:55,455 --> 01:20:58,958
No. Not at all.

760
01:21:06,966 --> 01:21:09,569
I swear that stew
had some squirrel meat in it.

761
01:21:09,769 --> 01:21:12,472
- Still arguing with you, is it?
- Yeah.

762
01:21:13,239 --> 01:21:15,141
- You're Charles Ford?
- Yes, ma'am.

763
01:21:15,342 --> 01:21:17,344
You've seen me once or twice before.

764
01:21:18,745 --> 01:21:20,647
I got a letter from George Hite.

765
01:21:21,247 --> 01:21:24,150
He hasn't seen hide nor hair of him.

766
01:21:25,652 --> 01:21:27,854
And you say you haven't seen Wood?

767
01:21:28,655 --> 01:21:31,758
No, I... I can't imagine where he could be.

768
01:21:59,252 --> 01:22:00,253
Yeah?

769
01:22:01,454 --> 01:22:03,556
You finished with your sleeping?

770
01:22:05,580 --> 01:22:07,560
I could use a couple more hours
if it's no trouble.

771
01:22:19,272 --> 01:22:20,840
Yeah.

772
01:22:24,444 --> 01:22:28,848
I been holding a discussion with myself
over if I ought to tell you this or no.

773
01:22:29,490 --> 01:22:31,751
My good side won out and...

774
01:22:32,952 --> 01:22:35,855
Well, I wanna make a clean breast
of things.

775
01:22:36,956 --> 01:22:41,161
Yeah, my mind's a little cobwebby
is the only drawback.

776
01:22:41,261 --> 01:22:46,660
I could use a little...
A little more sleep.

777
01:22:48,668 --> 01:22:50,670
You know I went to Kentucky?

778
01:22:51,671 --> 01:22:53,390
Yeah.

779
01:22:53,740 --> 01:22:56,142
I come back through Saline County and...

780
01:22:57,544 --> 01:22:59,446
...I think to myself:

781
01:22:59,946 --> 01:23:04,751
"Why not stop by and see Ed Miller?"

782
01:23:06,953 --> 01:23:08,655
So I do.

783
01:23:12,559 --> 01:23:15,862
Well, things are not to my satisfaction.

784
01:23:17,964 --> 01:23:20,767
Ed's got himself all worked up
over something.

785
01:23:22,268 --> 01:23:25,572
I can see that he's lying like a rug.

786
01:23:28,842 --> 01:23:31,945
So I say to myself, "Enough's enough."

787
01:23:32,445 --> 01:23:35,248
And I say to Ed, "Come on, Ed.

788
01:23:36,249 --> 01:23:38,551
Let's go for a ride."

789
01:23:40,353 --> 01:23:43,256
You understand what I'm saying?

790
01:23:44,557 --> 01:23:47,460
Going for a ride is like...

791
01:23:48,561 --> 01:23:51,664
Going for a ride
is like giving him what-for?

792
01:23:53,666 --> 01:23:55,368
Exactly.

793
01:23:59,839 --> 01:24:01,341
So...

794
01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:05,845
...Ed and Jesse...

795
01:24:08,248 --> 01:24:10,550
...they argue on the road.

796
01:24:15,550 --> 01:24:17,357
Did you ever count the stars?

797
01:24:20,860 --> 01:24:24,764
I can't ever get the same number.
They keep changing on me.

798
01:24:26,666 --> 01:24:29,669
I don't even know what a star is exactly.

799
01:24:32,372 --> 01:24:34,541
Well, your body knows.

800
01:24:35,442 --> 01:24:37,944
It's your mind that forgot.

801
01:24:47,754 --> 01:24:50,757
You go on ahead, partner.
I'll catch up with you.

802
01:25:30,964 --> 01:25:32,866
It's okay.

803
01:25:55,655 --> 01:25:59,590
It's okay, sweetheart. It's okay.

804
01:26:02,162 --> 01:26:04,564
And when push came to shove...

805
01:26:11,471 --> 01:26:13,840
...Jesse shot and killed him.

806
01:26:17,143 --> 01:26:19,450
Jesse did.

807
01:26:21,548 --> 01:26:23,249
You got it.

808
01:26:25,251 --> 01:26:26,653
You...

809
01:26:43,269 --> 01:26:45,271
So, you see, your...

810
01:26:45,472 --> 01:26:47,841
Your cousin, he got off easy.

811
01:26:48,410 --> 01:26:49,642
I was just playing with Albert.

812
01:26:51,144 --> 01:26:54,848
Yeah, I made him squeal
once or twice myself.

813
01:26:55,148 --> 01:26:58,151
I'm just not as thorough as you are.

814
01:27:09,462 --> 01:27:12,565
You got a tale to swap with me now?

815
01:27:21,241 --> 01:27:23,643
I don't get your meaning.

816
01:27:25,745 --> 01:27:31,510
Seems to me, if you have something
to confess in exchange...

817
01:27:31,251 --> 01:27:33,353
...it'd only be right...

818
01:27:34,354 --> 01:27:37,657
...that you'd spit it out now.

819
01:27:49,469 --> 01:27:51,571
I can't think of a single thing.

820
01:27:54,441 --> 01:27:57,243
About Wood Hite, for example.

821
01:27:57,444 --> 01:28:02,248
I'm not gonna... I been saying over and
over I can't figure out where he's gone.

822
01:28:02,449 --> 01:28:05,452
Now, I'm not gonna change my story
just to have something to spit.

823
01:28:05,652 --> 01:28:08,355
- Why was your brother so agitated?
- Which?

824
01:28:09,356 --> 01:28:10,457
Bob.

825
01:28:11,858 --> 01:28:14,761
That's just his way. He's antsy.

826
01:28:15,562 --> 01:28:17,630
You know?

827
01:28:33,146 --> 01:28:35,749
You go on back to sleep now.

828
01:28:37,450 --> 01:28:40,553
You got me agitated now, you see?

829
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:51,164
Yeah, just ain't no peace
when old Jesse's around.

830
01:28:51,765 --> 01:28:54,768
You ought to pity my poor wife.

831
01:28:57,370 --> 01:28:59,539
Ed Miller was a good friend of mine.

832
01:28:59,739 --> 01:29:03,143
He introduced me to you
at that one poker game.

833
01:29:03,843 --> 01:29:07,947
I'm a little angry with you, if you
wanna know the God's honest truth.

834
01:29:10,350 --> 01:29:12,852
You ought to pity me too.

835
01:29:58,465 --> 01:30:02,369
As proof of his confederacy with
the James Gang, Bob told the authorities...

836
01:30:06,239 --> 01:30:09,420
...while his ruined leg mended.

837
01:30:14,470 --> 01:30:17,851
And then, created a map
of the Harbison property...

838
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:24,257
...leaving out the creek where
Wood Hite's remains now moldered.

839
01:30:25,580 --> 01:30:27,260
Right, you boys are cornered!

840
01:30:27,460 --> 01:30:31,965
Come on out peaceably
and nobody'll get shot up!

841
01:30:37,170 --> 01:30:38,171
Don't shoot!

842
01:30:42,742 --> 01:30:44,744
Come on out and show yourself!

843
01:30:59,859 --> 01:31:01,361
Hello.

844
01:31:01,661 --> 01:31:03,363
We got him.

845
01:31:03,763 --> 01:31:05,765
Give me that Colt, son.

846
01:31:10,670 --> 01:31:13,239
- All right.
- Andrew James Liddil...

847
01:31:13,440 --> 01:31:16,443
...I have a warrant here
for your arrest...

848
01:31:16,543 --> 01:31:20,947
Snowstorms would move over Missouri
that Sunday, February 19th...

849
01:31:21,147 --> 01:31:24,150
...shutting down commerce
for more than two days.

850
01:31:25,752 --> 01:31:28,455
- Go, go, go.
- Are the papers here?

851
01:31:28,655 --> 01:31:32,258
- He wanted to know if the papers are here.
- I don't care what he wants.

852
01:31:32,459 --> 01:31:34,361
Yet this wouldn't prevent Robert Ford...

853
01:31:34,561 --> 01:31:36,963
...from presenting himself
to Governor Crittenden...

854
01:31:37,630 --> 01:31:40,166
...at the Craig Rifles Ball on Wednesday.

855
01:31:40,367 --> 01:31:43,970
I deem it a great privilege
on this glorious occasion...

856
01:31:44,700 --> 01:31:46,720
...to recognize publicly...

857
01:31:46,239 --> 01:31:48,942
...the intelligent and effective assistance...

858
01:31:49,420 --> 01:31:53,847
...that Captain Henry Craig has rendered
the state of Missouri and myself...

859
01:31:54,470 --> 01:31:57,550
...in our joint quest
to rid Jackson County...

860
01:31:57,951 --> 01:31:59,853
...of the James band.

861
01:32:00,530 --> 01:32:02,655
The task that Captain Craig
has assumed...

862
01:32:02,856 --> 01:32:07,600
...will require fearless courage,
extraordinary vigilance...

863
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:10,163
...and an unerring selection
of instrumentalities.

864
01:32:11,264 --> 01:32:15,969
Well, I've gotten the signal from my wife
that enough is enough.

865
01:32:16,169 --> 01:32:18,471
However, before I sit...

866
01:32:18,671 --> 01:32:21,741
...I would like to ask you
to join me in a toast...

867
01:32:22,242 --> 01:32:25,945
...to a great son
of the state of Missouri...

868
01:32:26,460 --> 01:32:29,949
...my friend, Henry Craig.
- Here, here.

869
01:32:42,662 --> 01:32:44,264
Yes.

870
01:32:45,265 --> 01:32:47,670
Just let my attorney know.

871
01:32:54,641 --> 01:32:57,944
Who is that? Who is it?

872
01:32:58,244 --> 01:32:59,846
Get out of the way now.

873
01:33:09,856 --> 01:33:13,960
You know, you're more goddamn trouble
than you're worth, Bob.

874
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:15,862
I was just gonna say hello.

875
01:33:15,962 --> 01:33:19,265
No, you weren't gonna do that, Bob.
That's not why you're down here.

876
01:33:19,366 --> 01:33:24,671
You think it's your goddamn coming-out.
You think you're the belle of the ball.

877
01:33:24,871 --> 01:33:29,420
Now you get upstairs and try to keep your
identity secret, you silly little bastard.

878
01:33:29,242 --> 01:33:32,450
The governor'll see you in good time.
Take him up, boys.

879
01:33:37,550 --> 01:33:39,753
Bob would later be cross-examined
repeatedly...

880
01:33:39,953 --> 01:33:44,570
...about the exact nature of the deal
he had made with the authorities.

881
01:33:44,257 --> 01:33:47,260
And he was never consistent
in his recollections.

882
01:33:51,364 --> 01:33:55,668
My wife's asleep in the other room,
so let's speak as quietly as we can.

883
01:34:00,340 --> 01:34:01,941
Liddil.

884
01:34:02,642 --> 01:34:04,544
I beg your pardon?

885
01:34:04,844 --> 01:34:06,446
I spell it with two D's.

886
01:34:06,646 --> 01:34:09,490
He's given us a full confession, governor.

887
01:34:09,149 --> 01:34:11,251
Newspapers haven't caught onto it yet.

888
01:34:11,451 --> 01:34:14,954
And you've guaranteed him
a conditional pardon...

889
01:34:15,155 --> 01:34:19,590
...and amnesty for all the robberies
he's committed.

890
01:34:20,660 --> 01:34:21,961
You Robert Ford?

891
01:34:25,465 --> 01:34:26,766
How old are you?

892
01:34:28,768 --> 01:34:30,270
Twenty.

893
01:34:30,570 --> 01:34:33,390
You surrender to Sheriff Timberlake
as well?

894
01:34:33,239 --> 01:34:37,143
No, no, governor. That's his brother,
Charley Ford, he's in the James Gang.

895
01:34:37,243 --> 01:34:40,460
But little Bob here,
we got nothing on Bob.

896
01:34:40,146 --> 01:34:42,749
He's just acting in capacity as a...

897
01:34:44,951 --> 01:34:47,153
...private detective.

898
01:34:48,355 --> 01:34:50,357
Jesse James sent me a telegram
last month...

899
01:34:50,557 --> 01:34:53,660
...saying he'd kill me
if he had to wreck a train to do it.

900
01:34:53,860 --> 01:34:56,463
He said once I got in his hands,
he'd cut my heart out...

901
01:34:56,663 --> 01:34:59,165
...and eat it in strips like it was bacon.

902
01:34:59,366 --> 01:35:01,267
I'll wreck his train first.

903
01:35:08,842 --> 01:35:12,946
I'm sorry, Your Excellency.
I was thinking about something else.

904
01:35:13,146 --> 01:35:15,448
Jesse James is nothing more
than a public outlaw...

905
01:35:15,648 --> 01:35:18,451
...who made his reputation
by stealing whatever he wanted...

906
01:35:18,651 --> 01:35:20,854
...killing whoever got in his way.

907
01:35:21,540 --> 01:35:24,657
You'll hear some fools say he's getting back
at Republicans and Union men...

908
01:35:24,858 --> 01:35:27,560
...for the wrongs his family suffered
during the war.

909
01:35:27,761 --> 01:35:32,465
But his victims have scarcely been selected
with reference to their political views.

910
01:35:32,966 --> 01:35:35,668
I'm saying his sins will soon find him out.

911
01:35:35,869 --> 01:35:38,571
I'm saying his cup of iniquity is full.

912
01:35:38,671 --> 01:35:41,341
I'm saying Jesse James
is a desperate case...

913
01:35:41,641 --> 01:35:44,544
...and may require a desperate remedy.

914
01:35:47,947 --> 01:35:51,510
Y'all got the right man for the job.

915
01:36:07,367 --> 01:36:09,669
Come on. Come on, now.

916
01:36:10,270 --> 01:36:11,871
Come on, now.

917
01:36:56,249 --> 01:36:58,752
Have you ever considered suicide?

918
01:37:00,854 --> 01:37:06,159
I can't say that I have. There's always
something else I wanted to do.

919
01:37:07,260 --> 01:37:13,166
Or my predicaments changed,
or I saw my hardships from a different slant.

920
01:37:13,266 --> 01:37:17,670
You know all what can happen.
It never seemed respectable.

921
01:37:24,444 --> 01:37:27,247
I'll tell you one thing that's for certain.

922
01:37:27,447 --> 01:37:31,451
You won't mind dying
once you've peeked over the other side.

923
01:37:35,255 --> 01:37:38,258
You'll no more wanna go back
to your body than...

924
01:37:38,458 --> 01:37:40,860
...you'd wanna spoon up your own puke.

925
01:37:47,367 --> 01:37:50,170
Hey, since we're looking to rob banks...

926
01:37:50,370 --> 01:37:54,941
...I was wondering if we could
add another fella to the gang...

927
01:37:55,141 --> 01:37:58,745
...and sort of see if we couldn't
come out of our next job alive.

928
01:38:01,247 --> 01:38:06,252
Bob wanted to know could he ride with us
next time we took on a savings bank or...

929
01:38:12,559 --> 01:38:15,610
A savings bank or a...

930
01:38:16,763 --> 01:38:18,465
A railroad.

931
01:38:25,872 --> 01:38:29,142
Bob isn't much more than a boy
to most appearances.

932
01:38:29,342 --> 01:38:32,450
But there's about two tons
of sand in him.

933
01:38:32,245 --> 01:38:35,448
And he'll stand with a shooter
when that's what's called for.

934
01:38:35,648 --> 01:38:39,953
And he's smart too.
He's about as intricate as they come.

935
01:38:42,550 --> 01:38:44,758
You forget I already met the kid.

936
01:38:46,590 --> 01:38:48,862
Hell, he surely thinks highly of you.

937
01:38:49,362 --> 01:38:52,165
All of America thinks highly of me.

938
01:38:52,866 --> 01:38:56,690
Still, not like you got two million names
to snatch out of a sock...

939
01:38:56,269 --> 01:38:58,371
...whenever you need a third man.

940
01:39:01,841 --> 01:39:04,944
I can see you trying to
wear me down on this.

941
01:39:05,450 --> 01:39:07,247
That's my main intention.

942
01:39:16,356 --> 01:39:19,590
Robberies would be conceived
but never carried out...

943
01:39:19,259 --> 01:39:22,762
...in Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri.

944
01:39:23,463 --> 01:39:24,564
During this time...

945
01:39:24,664 --> 01:39:28,768
...Henry Craig enjoined Robert Ford to return
to Elias' Grocery Store in Richmond...

946
01:39:28,868 --> 01:39:31,971
...and await instructions
from Sheriff James Timberlake.

947
01:39:32,372 --> 01:39:34,641
All right, three cans...

948
01:39:34,841 --> 01:39:38,545
...peaches. Two cans...

949
01:39:39,846 --> 01:39:42,349
Two cans sifted peas.

950
01:39:42,649 --> 01:39:44,250
One bottle...

951
01:39:47,153 --> 01:39:50,256
...Mary's Morning Tonic, and a half...

952
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:55,962
Half a sack of flour.

953
01:39:57,163 --> 01:39:59,165
I'll be right with you.

954
01:40:15,148 --> 01:40:17,450
I haven't seen any sign of him.

955
01:40:18,952 --> 01:40:21,354
Well, do you know where he's living?

956
01:40:22,455 --> 01:40:23,857
No.

957
01:40:24,958 --> 01:40:26,459
No?

958
01:40:29,162 --> 01:40:31,965
Well, I can't guess how he does it...

959
01:40:32,650 --> 01:40:36,369
...but he is always knowledgeable
about what's going on.

960
01:40:36,569 --> 01:40:40,840
He's gonna know I've been here with you.
You ought to take that for granted.

961
01:40:43,343 --> 01:40:47,347
And he will kill you if he gets the chance.

962
01:40:50,550 --> 01:40:53,153
Are you willing to risk that?

963
01:40:57,757 --> 01:40:59,459
Yes, I am.

964
01:41:02,562 --> 01:41:04,264
I've been a nobody all my life.

965
01:41:05,265 --> 01:41:07,670
I was the baby.

966
01:41:07,367 --> 01:41:10,770
I was the one they made promises to
that they never kept.

967
01:41:11,971 --> 01:41:16,643
And ever since I can remember it,
Jesse James has been as big as a tree.

968
01:41:20,460 --> 01:41:22,349
I'm prepared for this, Jim...

969
01:41:23,249 --> 01:41:25,452
...and I'm gonna accomplish it.

970
01:41:25,652 --> 01:41:27,754
I know I won't get
but this one opportunity...

971
01:41:27,954 --> 01:41:30,857
...and you can bet your life
I'm not gonna spoil it.

972
01:41:42,869 --> 01:41:43,970
Well...

973
01:41:45,171 --> 01:41:47,140
...wait for your chance.

974
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:51,440
Don't let yourself be found alone with him,
and do not...

975
01:41:51,845 --> 01:41:54,247
...let him get behind you.

976
01:42:22,442 --> 01:42:23,643
You been chosen.

977
01:42:28,548 --> 01:42:30,150
Well, what do you mean?

978
01:42:31,451 --> 01:42:33,953
Well, your brother said that
you might wanna join us.

979
01:42:34,154 --> 01:42:37,457
But maybe you like this grocery store
more than you said you did.

980
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:42,862
- So you missed me?
- Oh, yeah.

981
01:42:43,563 --> 01:42:46,166
I been crying myself to sleep every night.

982
01:42:55,742 --> 01:42:57,744
Don't let him see us so much as wink.

983
01:42:57,844 --> 01:43:01,748
He's suspicious as a damn coyote,
and he don't trust you one iota.

984
01:43:02,449 --> 01:43:04,250
- Well, I guess that makes...
- Hey.

985
01:43:04,351 --> 01:43:08,855
He already put away Ed Miller. He said so
like it was something piddly he'd done.

986
01:43:49,863 --> 01:43:54,670
If we're ever alone for more than a minute,
I'd like a chance to talk to you further.

987
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,420
They gave me ten days.

988
01:44:39,946 --> 01:44:41,448
For what?

989
01:44:43,450 --> 01:44:45,251
For arresting him.

990
01:44:51,358 --> 01:44:53,590
You and me, huh?

991
01:44:56,663 --> 01:44:59,966
It's gonna happen one way or another,
Charley. It's gonna happen.

992
01:45:00,166 --> 01:45:02,769
So it might as well be us
who get rich on it.

993
01:45:02,869 --> 01:45:06,139
- Bob, he's our friend.
- He murdered Ed Miller.

994
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:09,943
And he's gonna murder Liddil and Cummins
if the chance ever comes.

995
01:45:11,344 --> 01:45:15,949
It seems to me Jesse's riding from
man to man, saying goodbye to the gang.

996
01:45:17,450 --> 01:45:19,853
So your friendship could put you
under the pansies.

997
01:45:21,955 --> 01:45:26,359
I'll grind it fine in my mind, Bob. I can't
go any further than that right now.

998
01:45:29,963 --> 01:45:31,464
You'll come around.

999
01:45:32,565 --> 01:45:35,680
You think it's all made up, don't you?

1000
01:45:35,168 --> 01:45:38,571
You think it's all yarns
and newspaper stories.

1001
01:45:46,346 --> 01:45:48,748
He's just a human being.

1002
01:45:56,956 --> 01:46:00,600
From now on, you two
won't go anywhere without me.

1003
01:46:00,860 --> 01:46:05,465
From now on, you'll ask for my permission!
From now on, you'll ask to be excused!

1004
01:47:01,354 --> 01:47:05,658
Charley, take them horses
around the barn. Bob, you go on inside.

1005
01:47:06,559 --> 01:47:07,861
- Hello, Mary.
- Hi.

1006
01:47:08,610 --> 01:47:11,164
Look at this rotten parsnip
I found in the compost heap.

1007
01:47:21,341 --> 01:47:23,243
You never mentioned Bob would be here.

1008
01:47:27,547 --> 01:47:30,550
Maybe he was saving it
as a pleasant surprise.

1009
01:47:35,155 --> 01:47:37,857
Got two cousins for company now.

1010
01:47:47,567 --> 01:47:49,869
How it's gonna be is...

1011
01:47:50,270 --> 01:47:54,441
...we'll leave next Monday afternoon
and ride down to Platte City.

1012
01:47:57,243 --> 01:47:59,245
How far is that from Kansas City?

1013
01:48:00,947 --> 01:48:03,750
Platte City's 30 miles south.

1014
01:48:05,352 --> 01:48:09,956
You and me and Charley'll
sleep in the woods overnight...

1015
01:48:10,557 --> 01:48:14,961
...and we'll strike the Wells Bank
sometime before the court recesses.

1016
01:48:19,766 --> 01:48:22,669
What time will that be exactly?

1017
01:48:28,241 --> 01:48:30,844
Well, you don't need to know that.

1018
01:48:45,859 --> 01:48:48,862
You know, I'm real comfortable
with your brother.

1019
01:48:49,620 --> 01:48:51,564
Hell, he's ugly as sin,
he smells like a skunk...

1020
01:48:52,365 --> 01:48:55,869
...and he's so ignorant
he couldn't drive nails in the snow...

1021
01:48:55,969 --> 01:48:58,471
...but he's sort of easy to be around.

1022
01:48:58,972 --> 01:49:01,741
I can't say the same for you, Bob.

1023
01:49:05,145 --> 01:49:07,547
Well, I'm sorry to hear you say that.

1024
01:49:09,449 --> 01:49:13,453
You know how it is when you're
with your girlfriend and the moon's out...

1025
01:49:13,653 --> 01:49:17,657
...and you know she wants to be kissed,
even though she never said so?

1026
01:49:21,161 --> 01:49:22,562
Yeah.

1027
01:49:25,265 --> 01:49:28,668
Well, you're giving me signs
that grieve my soul...

1028
01:49:29,569 --> 01:49:31,671
...and make me wonder...

1029
01:49:32,720 --> 01:49:34,441
...maybe your mind's
been changed about me.

1030
01:49:34,741 --> 01:49:38,244
Well, what do you want me to do?
Swear my good faith on the Bible?

1031
01:49:55,762 --> 01:49:57,664
You two having a spat?

1032
01:50:02,969 --> 01:50:05,472
I was getting ready to be angry.

1033
01:50:10,844 --> 01:50:13,246
Sit over here closer, kid.

1034
01:50:15,448 --> 01:50:16,750
Come on.

1035
01:50:27,861 --> 01:50:30,263
Charley, you'll stay with the animals.

1036
01:50:30,864 --> 01:50:32,766
Me and the kid...

1037
01:50:32,966 --> 01:50:36,970
...will walk into that bank
just before noon.

1038
01:50:38,772 --> 01:50:41,441
Bob will move that cashier...

1039
01:50:41,941 --> 01:50:45,145
...away from the shotgun
that's under the counter...

1040
01:50:45,345 --> 01:50:48,248
...and I'll creep up behind that cashier...

1041
01:50:50,950 --> 01:50:52,520
And I'll say:

1042
01:50:52,152 --> 01:50:54,954
"How come an off-scouring
like you is still sucking air...

1043
01:50:55,155 --> 01:50:57,357
...when so many of mine
are in coffins?" I'll say:

1044
01:50:57,557 --> 01:51:00,860
"How did you get to reach 20
without leaking out all over your clothes?"

1045
01:51:01,361 --> 01:51:05,265
And if I don't like his attitude,
I will slit that phildoodle so deep...

1046
01:51:05,565 --> 01:51:08,568
...he will flop on the floor like a fish.

1047
01:51:12,272 --> 01:51:14,541
My God, what just happened?

1048
01:51:23,850 --> 01:51:27,153
Boy, I could hear your gears grinding...

1049
01:51:27,554 --> 01:51:30,857
...hear your little motor wondering,
"My gosh, what's next?

1050
01:51:31,570 --> 01:51:32,459
What's happening to me?"

1051
01:51:34,260 --> 01:51:36,162
You were precious to behold, Bob.

1052
01:51:36,363 --> 01:51:38,965
You were white as spit in a cotton field.

1053
01:51:39,466 --> 01:51:41,968
You got him. You got him.

1054
01:51:43,570 --> 01:51:47,640
You wanna know how that feels?
Unpleasant. I honestly can't recommend it.

1055
01:51:53,146 --> 01:51:55,648
The old Charley looked stricken!

1056
01:51:56,249 --> 01:51:58,151
I was. I was.

1057
01:51:58,251 --> 01:52:03,256
"This is plumb unexpected," old Charley
was thinking. "That done ruined my day."

1058
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:12,565
Hell. Hell.

1059
01:52:43,463 --> 01:52:47,367
Jesse slept with Bob
in the children's room that night.

1060
01:52:48,668 --> 01:52:51,271
And Bob remained awake.

1061
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:57,444
He could see that there was a gun
on the nightstand.

1062
01:52:58,345 --> 01:53:02,349
He could imagine its cold nickel
inside his grip...

1063
01:53:03,249 --> 01:53:06,753
...its two-pound weight
reached out and aimed.

1064
01:53:37,851 --> 01:53:39,953
I need to go to the privy.

1065
01:53:41,154 --> 01:53:44,557
You think you do, but you don't.

1066
01:54:07,747 --> 01:54:09,949
You wait for grace, now.

1067
01:54:10,850 --> 01:54:14,254
- Thank you, Mama.
- Thank you, Zee. God, that looks good.

1068
01:54:14,454 --> 01:54:16,560
- Thank you, Zee.
- You're welcome.

1069
01:54:16,256 --> 01:54:19,259
Well, is this fit to eat or will it just do?

1070
01:54:22,262 --> 01:54:24,364
Woman's cooking's
always been a scandal.

1071
01:54:24,464 --> 01:54:26,866
Cut her meat and the whole table moves.

1072
01:54:27,767 --> 01:54:29,869
You want a biscuit?
You gonna have a biscuit?

1073
01:54:30,700 --> 01:54:33,840
Here's some butter.
Come on. Come on.

1074
01:54:35,742 --> 01:54:37,430
Oh, shoot.

1075
01:54:37,243 --> 01:54:41,470
And so it went,
Jesse was increasingly cavalier...

1076
01:54:41,147 --> 01:54:44,951
...merry, moody, fey...

1077
01:54:45,510 --> 01:54:47,153
...unpredictable.

1078
01:54:48,755 --> 01:54:51,858
He camouflaged his depressions
and derangements...

1079
01:54:52,580 --> 01:54:56,620
...with masquerades
of extreme cordiality, courtesy...

1080
01:54:56,262 --> 01:54:58,965
...and goodwill towards others.

1081
01:55:00,660 --> 01:55:04,371
But even as he jested,
or tickled his boy in the ribs...

1082
01:55:04,471 --> 01:55:08,141
...Jesse would look over at Bob
with melancholy eyes...

1083
01:55:08,241 --> 01:55:12,245
...as if the two were meshed
in an intimate communication.

1084
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:17,650
Bob was certain that the man
had unriddled him...

1085
01:55:17,851 --> 01:55:20,553
...had seen through his reasons
for coming along...

1086
01:55:20,653 --> 01:55:24,657
...that Jesse could forecast each of
Bob's possible moves and inclinations...

1087
01:55:24,858 --> 01:55:26,760
...and was only acting the innocent...

1088
01:55:26,860 --> 01:55:31,865
...in order to lull Bob
into stupid tranquility and miscalculation.

1089
01:55:53,453 --> 01:55:55,655
How long you been studying me?

1090
01:55:57,657 --> 01:56:00,360
You're gonna break a lot of hearts.

1091
01:56:08,268 --> 01:56:09,469
How do you mean?

1092
01:56:18,645 --> 01:56:20,447
It's a present.

1093
01:56:25,510 --> 01:56:26,653
It's heavy.

1094
01:56:27,253 --> 01:56:29,356
Well, you gonna look inside?

1095
01:56:30,957 --> 01:56:32,759
It's April Fools' Day, you know.

1096
01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:35,161
It ain't no joke.

1097
01:56:42,669 --> 01:56:44,270
Oh, such extravagance.

1098
01:56:45,772 --> 01:56:48,441
Don't that nickel just shine, though?

1099
01:56:48,641 --> 01:56:50,243
It's more than I could hope for.

1100
01:56:50,343 --> 01:56:53,146
I figured that granddaddy Colt
may blow into fragments...

1101
01:56:53,346 --> 01:56:56,149
...next time you try
to squeeze the trigger.

1102
01:56:56,349 --> 01:56:58,752
Well, you might have something there.

1103
01:56:59,252 --> 01:57:01,855
Tom, supper's ready.

1104
01:57:03,560 --> 01:57:05,580
I'll be right there, sweetheart.

1105
01:57:05,258 --> 01:57:07,560
I might be too excited to eat.

1106
01:57:10,864 --> 01:57:13,366
You know what John Newman Edwards
once wrote about me?

1107
01:57:14,367 --> 01:57:17,270
He said I didn't trust
two men in 10,000...

1108
01:57:17,370 --> 01:57:20,400
...and even them I was cautious around.

1109
01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:22,842
Government's sort of run me ragged.

1110
01:57:24,844 --> 01:57:27,847
I'm going the long way around the barn
to say that...

1111
01:57:27,947 --> 01:57:31,651
...I been feeling cornered
and just plain ornery as of late...

1112
01:57:32,352 --> 01:57:37,570
...and I'd be pleased if you'd accept
that gun as my way of apologizing.

1113
01:57:39,459 --> 01:57:42,262
Heaven knows I'd be ornerier
if I were in your position.

1114
01:57:42,362 --> 01:57:45,465
No. No, I haven't been acting correctly.

1115
01:57:47,267 --> 01:57:50,870
Seems I hardly recognize myself
when I'm greased.

1116
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:56,343
I go on journeys out of my body...

1117
01:57:56,543 --> 01:58:00,647
...and look at my red hands
and my mean face...

1118
01:58:01,448 --> 01:58:05,151
...and I wonder about that man
that's gone so wrong.

1119
01:58:08,955 --> 01:58:11,958
I've been becoming a problem to myself.

1120
01:58:24,671 --> 01:58:25,972
Well...

1121
01:58:32,645 --> 01:58:37,250
- I better wash my hands if supper's on.
- Yeah, go ahead.

1122
01:58:50,663 --> 01:58:53,566
The day before he died was Palm Sunday.

1123
01:58:54,567 --> 01:58:57,871
And Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Howard,
their two children...

1124
01:58:58,710 --> 01:59:00,140
...and their cousin Charles Johnson...

1125
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:05,445
...strolled to the Second Presbyterian
Church to attend the 10:00 service.

1126
01:59:07,847 --> 01:59:10,150
Bob remained at the cottage...

1127
01:59:10,350 --> 01:59:13,753
...and slyly migrated from room to room.

1128
01:59:16,356 --> 01:59:18,158
He walked into the master bedroom...

1129
01:59:18,358 --> 01:59:22,162
...and inventoried the clothes
on the hangers and hooks.

1130
01:59:28,468 --> 01:59:31,771
He sipped from the water glass
on the vanity.

1131
01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:38,345
He smelled the talcum and lilacs
on Jesse's pillowcase.

1132
01:59:46,252 --> 01:59:48,455
His fingers skittered over his ribs...

1133
01:59:48,655 --> 01:59:52,559
...to construe the scars
where Jesse was twice shot.

1134
01:59:56,363 --> 02:00:00,967
He manufactured a middle finger
that was missing the top two knuckles.

1135
02:00:08,341 --> 02:00:11,244
He imagined himself at 34.

1136
02:00:13,246 --> 02:00:16,249
He imagined himself in a coffin.

1137
02:00:18,351 --> 02:00:20,530
He considered possibilities...

1138
02:00:20,253 --> 02:00:23,556
...and everything wonderful
that could come true.

1139
02:00:51,351 --> 02:00:53,253
He's not gonna kill us.

1140
02:00:58,558 --> 02:01:00,660
Yeah, he is.

1141
02:01:03,630 --> 02:01:05,465
Well, I'll stay awake so he can't.

1142
02:01:18,845 --> 02:01:21,247
You're imagining things.

1143
02:01:33,560 --> 02:01:35,562
Ain't gonna be no Platte City.

1144
02:01:37,263 --> 02:01:39,866
That's Jesse fooling with us.

1145
02:01:56,249 --> 02:01:58,551
Go to sleep, Charley.

1146
02:02:32,152 --> 02:02:33,753
Morning.

1147
02:02:37,557 --> 02:02:39,590
Charley.

1148
02:03:08,955 --> 02:03:11,358
Bob, how much did you want to eat?

1149
02:03:15,862 --> 02:03:18,264
I'm feeling sort of peculiar.

1150
02:03:37,450 --> 02:03:39,953
Why is it you're looking so interested?

1151
02:03:41,454 --> 02:03:44,357
You think it's intelligent
to go out like that...

1152
02:03:44,557 --> 02:03:46,359
...so all creation can see your guns?

1153
02:04:04,440 --> 02:04:05,545
Hi.

1154
02:04:15,855 --> 02:04:18,758
Come on, let's go see
what your mama's doing.

1155
02:04:19,859 --> 02:04:21,961
Timmy, get that door, would you?

1156
02:04:26,166 --> 02:04:29,369
- Well, you lost your shoe, sweetheart.
- Yeah, I did.

1157
02:04:29,469 --> 02:04:33,640
That's gonna be a problem.
They don't sell those one at a time.

1158
02:04:35,141 --> 02:04:37,143
We lost a shoe, Mama.

1159
02:04:38,745 --> 02:04:41,348
Will you put that up for Daddy,
would you?

1160
02:04:44,451 --> 02:04:47,153
- What you doing, you lose a shoe?
- Yeah.

1161
02:05:03,970 --> 02:05:07,340
It's only meant to go on top,
to complement.

1162
02:05:07,540 --> 02:05:09,442
Yeah, I know. Sometimes, I...

1163
02:05:34,670 --> 02:05:36,970
Bob, everything's getting cold!

1164
02:05:37,670 --> 02:05:41,410
- Where's Mary?
- She's outside, darling.

1165
02:05:42,420 --> 02:05:43,843
Mary?

1166
02:05:47,547 --> 02:05:50,150
What do you think goes on
in that noggin of his?

1167
02:05:53,153 --> 02:05:54,854
Nothing.

1168
02:05:55,455 --> 02:05:58,158
I was talking about his mind, not yours.

1169
02:05:59,159 --> 02:06:00,860
Oh, yeah.

1170
02:06:01,361 --> 02:06:03,630
Oh, I get it.

1171
02:06:58,451 --> 02:07:00,353
Well, hello now.

1172
02:07:09,620 --> 02:07:11,264
You don't say so.

1173
02:07:25,545 --> 02:07:27,647
That's very strange.

1174
02:07:31,151 --> 02:07:33,753
You must have been
right in the neighborhood.

1175
02:07:34,454 --> 02:07:37,570
Well, apparently, they kept it a secret.

1176
02:07:48,268 --> 02:07:51,371
If I get to Kansas City soon,
I'll ask somebody about it.

1177
02:08:32,450 --> 02:08:33,747
You two ready?

1178
02:08:37,450 --> 02:08:40,530
I will be, by noon.

1179
02:09:12,952 --> 02:09:15,655
There is a ship
She sails the sea

1180
02:09:15,855 --> 02:09:18,558
She's loaded deep
As deep can be

1181
02:09:18,758 --> 02:09:21,610
But not as deep
As the love I'm in

1182
02:09:21,561 --> 02:09:25,265
I know not if I sink or swim

1183
02:09:26,266 --> 02:09:27,967
The water is wide

1184
02:09:29,690 --> 02:09:35,642
I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly

1185
02:09:36,420 --> 02:09:39,846
Give me a boat
That can carry two

1186
02:09:40,460 --> 02:09:42,949
Both shall row
My love and I

1187
02:09:43,490 --> 02:09:46,553
For love is gentle
And love is kind

1188
02:09:46,753 --> 02:09:49,756
Sweetest flower
When first it's new

1189
02:09:49,956 --> 02:09:53,460
But love grows old
And waxes cold

1190
02:09:53,660 --> 02:09:56,963
And fades away
Like the morning dew

1191
02:09:57,630 --> 02:10:00,166
There is a ship
She sails the sea

1192
02:10:00,266 --> 02:10:03,690
I guess I'll take my guns off...

1193
02:10:03,370 --> 02:10:05,372
...for fear the neighbors might spy them.

1194
02:10:38,671 --> 02:10:41,141
Don't that picture look dusty?

1195
02:12:23,243 --> 02:12:26,246
What have...? What have you done?

1196
02:12:28,648 --> 02:12:30,250
Jesse.

1197
02:12:35,855 --> 02:12:36,856
Jesse?

1198
02:12:38,580 --> 02:12:40,160
Jesse? Jesse?

1199
02:12:40,860 --> 02:12:42,762
Jesse!

1200
02:12:43,763 --> 02:12:45,865
No!

1201
02:12:50,700 --> 02:12:52,372
No. Jess...

1202
02:12:52,939 --> 02:12:57,344
Come back. Oh, come back.

1203
02:12:59,446 --> 02:13:03,650
Oh, Jesse! No!

1204
02:13:04,150 --> 02:13:08,540
Oh, Bob. Have you done this?!

1205
02:13:08,254 --> 02:13:10,657
I swear to God I didn't.

1206
02:13:11,658 --> 02:13:13,590
It was an accident, Zee.

1207
02:13:15,261 --> 02:13:18,665
Come on. Pistol went off accidentally.

1208
02:14:03,943 --> 02:14:05,145
Put my name.

1209
02:14:05,345 --> 02:14:07,847
Why, what'd you do? I shot him.

1210
02:14:15,550 --> 02:14:17,570
You might wanna keep that.

1211
02:14:55,610 --> 02:14:57,630
Thank you all very much.

1212
02:15:05,271 --> 02:15:07,741
The resulting prints
sold for 2 dollars apiece...

1213
02:15:07,941 --> 02:15:12,545
...and were the models for the lithographed
covers on a number of magazines.

1214
02:15:18,510 --> 02:15:23,256
Soon a thousand strangers were making
spellbound pilgrimages to the cottage...

1215
02:15:23,656 --> 02:15:28,161
...or were venerating the iced remains
in Seidenfaden's cooling room.

1216
02:15:29,620 --> 02:15:33,566
The man who offered 30,000 dollars for
the body of President Garfield's assassin...

1217
02:15:33,767 --> 02:15:37,670
...sent a telegram to City Marshal
Enos Craig offering 50,000...

1218
02:15:37,871 --> 02:15:40,140
...for the body
of Jesse Woodson James...

1219
02:15:40,240 --> 02:15:43,430
...so that he could go around the country
with it...

1220
02:15:45,445 --> 02:15:50,450
...or at least sell it to P.T. Barnum
for his Greatest Show on Earth.

1221
02:15:54,454 --> 02:15:57,557
Another photograph was taken
of the renowned American bandit...

1222
02:15:57,757 --> 02:16:00,360
...nestled in his bed of ice.

1223
02:16:00,560 --> 02:16:04,864
And it was this shot that was most
available in sundries and apothecaries...

1224
02:16:04,964 --> 02:16:08,668
...to be viewed in a stereoscope
alongside the sphinx...

1225
02:16:08,868 --> 02:16:12,839
...the Taj Mahal,
and the catacombs of Rome.

1226
02:16:38,640 --> 02:16:39,966
Hello, here!

1227
02:16:48,241 --> 02:16:52,145
You mean he did? I didn't know.

1228
02:16:53,460 --> 02:16:54,948
But I knew I had not fooled him.

1229
02:16:55,480 --> 02:16:58,952
And he knew, as well as I, in that moment
that I intended to bring him to justice.

1230
02:16:59,853 --> 02:17:03,456
But he would not kill me
in the presence of his wife and children.

1231
02:17:03,656 --> 02:17:06,860
And so he was smiling
to throw me off-guard.

1232
02:17:10,630 --> 02:17:12,766
Well, it's all right, anyway, Bob.

1233
02:17:14,667 --> 02:17:17,570
It was widely felt that
Bob possessed some acting talent...

1234
02:17:17,670 --> 02:17:19,939
...and Charley, not a jot.

1235
02:17:20,140 --> 02:17:23,430
That picture's awful dusty.

1236
02:17:23,843 --> 02:17:26,946
Charley was only expected
not to slouch or mutter...

1237
02:17:27,147 --> 02:17:31,851
...and to transport his sicknesses
to the alley before letting them go.

1238
02:18:01,247 --> 02:18:03,490
And that's...

1239
02:18:03,650 --> 02:18:06,353
...how I killed Jesse James.

1240
02:18:09,856 --> 02:18:13,360
By October of 1883, Bob Ford
could be identified correctly...

1241
02:18:13,560 --> 02:18:17,764
...by more citizens than could
the president of the United States.

1242
02:18:18,465 --> 02:18:23,169
He was as renowned at 20 as Jesse was
after 14 years of grand larceny.

1243
02:18:23,370 --> 02:18:25,572
You won't get your hooks into me.

1244
02:18:26,720 --> 02:18:30,844
That's right. That's right.
Sit next to your boyfriend. Jezebel.

1245
02:18:30,944 --> 02:18:33,460
Charley was increasingly superstitious...

1246
02:18:33,246 --> 02:18:35,949
...increasingly subject
to the advice of soothsayers...

1247
02:18:36,149 --> 02:18:40,153
...who promised to cure his miseries
with pipe smoke and poultices.

1248
02:18:40,353 --> 02:18:43,556
You been spending too much time
with Gypsies, Charley.

1249
02:18:49,362 --> 02:18:50,663
Shit.

1250
02:18:55,680 --> 02:18:57,570
The picture's awful dusty.

1251
02:18:58,710 --> 02:19:01,841
Something began to change
in Charley's stage portrayal of Jesse.

1252
02:19:02,420 --> 02:19:04,544
His gait seemed more practiced.

1253
02:19:04,744 --> 02:19:08,480
His voice was spookily similar
to the man's.

1254
02:19:08,148 --> 02:19:10,550
His newly suggested dialogue
was analogous...

1255
02:19:10,750 --> 02:19:13,753
...to a script Jesse might have originated.

1256
02:19:16,656 --> 02:19:19,590
He began to look at his younger brother
with spite...

1257
02:19:19,259 --> 02:19:21,861
...as if he suspected that
in some future performance...

1258
02:19:22,620 --> 02:19:26,566
...he might present himself
to a live cartridge in Robert Ford's gun.

1259
02:19:27,867 --> 02:19:29,769
Murderer!

1260
02:19:30,700 --> 02:19:31,771
Cur!

1261
02:19:32,472 --> 02:19:34,140
Coward!

1262
02:19:37,744 --> 02:19:42,248
You wanna investigate my courage?
Do you?

1263
02:19:42,649 --> 02:19:46,453
Find out! Find out!

1264
02:19:51,570 --> 02:19:52,959
Nobody.

1265
02:20:07,540 --> 02:20:09,342
Coward!

1266
02:20:34,567 --> 02:20:40,400
By his own approximation, Bob
assassinated Jesse James over 800 times.

1267
02:20:40,240 --> 02:20:44,440
He suspected no one in history
had ever so often or so publicly...

1268
02:20:44,144 --> 02:20:47,347
...recapitulated an act of betrayal.

1269
02:20:52,552 --> 02:20:55,355
Bob always challenged
the allegations of cowardice...

1270
02:20:55,555 --> 02:20:58,458
...but Charley seemed
to agree with them.

1271
02:20:58,758 --> 02:21:02,562
He spoke of Mrs. Zee James
as certain priests might the Madonna...

1272
02:21:02,662 --> 02:21:05,765
...and composed long soul-describing letters
to her...

1273
02:21:05,965 --> 02:21:08,168
...begging her forgiveness...

1274
02:21:09,469 --> 02:21:12,720
...none of which he mailed.

1275
02:21:39,966 --> 02:21:45,572
Charley Ford became all that his countrymen
wanted an assassin of Jesse James to be.

1276
02:21:49,743 --> 02:21:55,648
Jesse James was a man
Who killed many men

1277
02:21:56,850 --> 02:22:01,254
He robbed the Glendale train

1278
02:22:01,554 --> 02:22:07,360
And he stole from the rich
And he gave to the poor

1279
02:22:07,660 --> 02:22:12,565
He had a hand
And a heart and a brain

1280
02:22:13,366 --> 02:22:18,872
Well, Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life

1281
02:22:19,720 --> 02:22:24,144
Three children
They were brave

1282
02:22:24,244 --> 02:22:29,849
But that dirty little coward
Who shot Mr. Howard

1283
02:22:30,150 --> 02:22:35,155
Has laid Jesse James in his grave

1284
02:22:36,256 --> 02:22:41,261
It was Robert Ford
That dirty little coward

1285
02:22:42,620 --> 02:22:46,466
I wonder how does he feel

1286
02:22:46,566 --> 02:22:52,372
For he ate at Jesse's bread
And he slept in Jesse's bed

1287
02:22:52,472 --> 02:22:57,544
And he laid poor Jesse in his grave

1288
02:22:57,944 --> 02:23:03,550
Well, Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life

1289
02:23:03,650 --> 02:23:08,555
Three children
They were brave

1290
02:23:08,755 --> 02:23:14,361
But that dirty little coward
Who shot Mr. Howard

1291
02:23:14,561 --> 02:23:18,765
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

1292
02:23:30,243 --> 02:23:32,345
I'm Robert Ford.

1293
02:23:43,560 --> 02:23:46,760
It was two children, not three.

1294
02:23:58,171 --> 02:23:59,439
Hey.

1295
02:24:00,340 --> 02:24:02,942
You get yourself home, son, okay?

1296
02:24:03,643 --> 02:24:07,647
Come on. Get out of here.
Get out of my place.

1297
02:24:39,446 --> 02:24:41,648
He thought, at his angriest...

1298
02:24:41,848 --> 02:24:45,552
...about visiting the kin
of Jesse's slaughtered victims:

1299
02:24:47,554 --> 02:24:50,857
Mrs. William Westfall in Plattsburg...

1300
02:24:53,360 --> 02:24:56,463
...the Wymore family in Clay County...

1301
02:25:01,568 --> 02:25:05,872
...perhaps even Mrs. Joseph Heywood
in Northfield, Minnesota.

1302
02:25:08,942 --> 02:25:11,945
He would go to their homes
and give his name as Robert Ford...

1303
02:25:12,145 --> 02:25:15,480
...the man who killed Jesse James.

1304
02:25:16,549 --> 02:25:19,552
He imagined they would
be grateful to him.

1305
02:25:38,538 --> 02:25:42,542
He told her that he had no real memory
of the shooting and its aftermath.

1306
02:25:42,742 --> 02:25:46,613
He could remember lifting the gun
that Jesse had given him...

1307
02:25:47,313 --> 02:25:51,317
...and then it was Good Friday and he was
reading about the funeral proceedings...

1308
02:25:51,518 --> 02:25:54,200
...as if they'd happened a long time ago.

1309
02:25:55,622 --> 02:25:57,724
Why did you kill him?

1310
02:26:02,128 --> 02:26:04,130
Well, he was gonna kill me.

1311
02:26:09,335 --> 02:26:12,539
So you were scared
and that's the only reason?

1312
02:26:15,341 --> 02:26:16,710
Yeah.

1313
02:26:17,110 --> 02:26:19,212
And the reward money.

1314
02:26:25,180 --> 02:26:27,821
Do you want me to change the subject?

1315
02:26:36,290 --> 02:26:38,431
You know what I expected?

1316
02:26:39,432 --> 02:26:41,434
Applause.

1317
02:26:44,370 --> 02:26:48,141
I was only 20 years old then.
I couldn't see how it would look to people.

1318
02:26:52,212 --> 02:26:54,914
I was surprised by what happened.

1319
02:26:56,160 --> 02:26:57,917
They didn't applaud.

1320
02:27:01,421 --> 02:27:03,223
He was ashamed of his boasting...

1321
02:27:03,423 --> 02:27:06,326
...his pretensions of courage
and ruthlessness.

1322
02:27:06,626 --> 02:27:10,330
He was sorry about his cold-bloodedness,
his dispassion...

1323
02:27:12,320 --> 02:27:16,436
...his inability to express
what he now believed was the case:

1324
02:27:19,390 --> 02:27:22,420
That he truly regretted killing Jesse...

1325
02:27:22,809 --> 02:27:25,812
...that he missed the man
as much as anybody...

1326
02:27:26,312 --> 02:27:29,416
...and wished his murder
hadn't been necessary.

1327
02:27:48,935 --> 02:27:51,370
Even as he circulated his saloon...

1328
02:27:51,237 --> 02:27:54,941
...he knew that the smiles disappeared
when he passed by.

1329
02:27:56,420 --> 02:27:57,911
He received so many menacing letters...

1330
02:27:58,110 --> 02:28:01,514
...that he could read them
without any reaction except curiosity.

1331
02:28:05,318 --> 02:28:10,123
He kept to his apartment all day,
flipping over playing cards...

1332
02:28:11,624 --> 02:28:16,129
...looking at his destiny
in every king and jack.

1333
02:28:20,333 --> 02:28:24,637
Edward O'Kelly came up from Bachelor
at 1 p.m. on the 8th.

1334
02:28:26,139 --> 02:28:30,100
He had no grand scheme, no strategy...

1335
02:28:30,210 --> 02:28:32,612
...no agreement with higher authorities...

1336
02:28:32,712 --> 02:28:35,515
...nothing beyond
a vague longing for glory...

1337
02:28:36,616 --> 02:28:40,820
...and a generalized wish
for revenge against Robert Ford.

1338
02:28:48,628 --> 02:28:51,931
- How'd it go last night?
- Not so bad.

1339
02:28:55,135 --> 02:28:56,536
The other one.

1340
02:28:59,390 --> 02:29:01,841
Edward O'Kelly would be ordered
to serve a life sentence...

1341
02:29:02,420 --> 02:29:04,911
...in the Colorado Penitentiary
for second-degree murder.

1342
02:29:05,110 --> 02:29:07,814
Over 7000 signatures
would eventually be gathered...

1343
02:29:08,140 --> 02:29:10,216
...on a petition asking for
O'Kelly's release...

1344
02:29:10,417 --> 02:29:15,422
...and in 1902, Governor James B. Orman
would pardon the man.

1345
02:29:16,220 --> 02:29:20,427
You shouldn't be wearing that stickpin
again there, Bob. Opals are unlucky.

1346
02:29:21,928 --> 02:29:26,132
My luck's not very good as it is. I don't
think an opal's gonna change that much.

1347
02:29:27,330 --> 02:29:28,435
I hear you.

1348
02:29:42,150 --> 02:29:43,917
There would be no eulogies for Bob...

1349
02:29:45,618 --> 02:29:49,723
...no photographs of his body
would be sold in sundries stores...

1350
02:29:50,423 --> 02:29:54,728
...no people would crowd the streets
in the rain to see his funeral cortege...

1351
02:29:56,529 --> 02:29:59,532
...no biographies would be written
about him...

1352
02:29:59,632 --> 02:30:02,235
...no children named after him.

1353
02:30:03,837 --> 02:30:08,541
No one would ever pay 25 cents
to stand in the rooms he grew up in.

1354
02:30:13,130 --> 02:30:14,814
Hello, Bob.

1355
02:30:16,216 --> 02:30:20,420
The shotgun would ignite,
and Ella Mae would scream...

1356
02:30:21,221 --> 02:30:24,924
...but Robert Ford would only lay
on the floor and look at the ceiling...

1357
02:30:25,250 --> 02:30:27,527
...the light going out of his eyes...

1358
02:30:27,727 --> 02:30:30,430
...before he could find the right words.
