00:04:32,120 We've been here too long. 100 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,120 We're all right. 101 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,120 Put your gun away. 102 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,120 We'll walk to the horses. 103 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:49,160 Hey, isn't that the Spencer boys from Cass County? 104 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,160 Simpson keep going. 105 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,160 Hold up. 106 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,160 Hey, don't you remember me? 107 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,160 Simpson from your county. 108 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,160 Carl, no. 109 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,160 Carl. 110 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:05,040 With your gun, you've surely killed us all. 111 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,040 Come on. 112 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,040 Come on. 113 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,040 Get up there. 114 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,040 Come on. 115 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:26,480 From this moment on, we're dead men. 116 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,400 Now surely there's no future for us except by miracle. 117 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,720 No excuse for Carl's shooting, except that he's the youngest and that he was frightened. 118 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,920 And a useless killing. 119 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,680 It accomplished nothing. 120 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,680 I'm sorry, Jim. 121 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,680 I couldn't help it. 122 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,680 Nobody else knew us. 123 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,600 When he called out our name, I had to stop him. 124 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,760 It's all right, Carl. 125 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,120 You stopped him. 126 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,480 You stopped us too. 127 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,480 Well, yeah. 128 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,480 They heard our name. 129 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,480 I'm sorry. 130 00:05:53,480 --> 00:06:01,840 I couldn't help it. 131 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:05,000 Once we were right, we were the wrong ones. 132 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,400 But no more. 133 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,480 No more the soldiers still with honor sharing the Confederate defeat. 134 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,560 No more justifying our motives and actions. 135 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:20,120 The crutch we used, our persecution by the few hundred of the victors, that's gone now. 136 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,820 Nothing's left except that we're killers and must never stop running and perhaps never 137 00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:27,820 stop killing. 138 00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:35,040 We'll have to hide now. 139 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,600 Then we'll think instead of riding blindly. 140 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,760 We'll think tonight and plan something. 141 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,720 A man can't think without thinking of a future. 142 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,360 We'll think us a future. 143 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:58,640 Buy us a future if we have to. 144 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,640 This is good. 145 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:07,240 Loosen the cinches, but don't take the saddles off. 146 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,440 No fire, no smoke. 147 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:17,320 This will be a dark camp and a quiet one. 148 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,160 You haven't spoken for an hour, John. 149 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,640 What is there to say, Jim? 150 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,120 That we're brothers. 151 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880 All right, we're brothers. 152 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,480 And the mistake of one is the mistake of all of us. 153 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,640 It seems to be the way it is. 154 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,760 I'm sorry, John. 155 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,720 But wouldn't we have been hunted for the robbery? 156 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000 If Simpson hadn't been there, no, we wouldn't have. 157 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,920 But he was there. 158 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,840 All I could think was Simpson mustn't be there and I killed him so he wouldn't be. 159 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,240 What do you think we should do, John? 160 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,280 Keep going, I suppose. 161 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,280 Where? 162 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,280 I don't know. 163 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,000 Well, I've been thinking. 164 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000 All of us agree that killing Simpson was a mistake. 165 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,400 But in the rest of our plan, we were right and justified so we can still stand up among 166 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,400 honest men. 167 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,600 Where are we going to find honest men who'll let us stand with them? 168 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,960 We'll leave Missouri and go west, far west, Colorado territory where the country's just 169 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,960 opening up. 170 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,200 How do we get across all of Kansas to get there? 171 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,200 How do we leave here? 172 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,200 What road do we take? 173 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,400 I'm sure there's no posse waiting to ambush us. 174 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,880 Has the word spread so fast, Jim? 175 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,880 Five hours? 176 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,160 Yes, I think it has. 177 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,140 Traveled faster than we have, no doubt. 178 00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:39,520 But I have a plan. 179 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,800 By it, we'll find new lives in a new country. 180 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:51,320 We'll talk of it after we rest. 181 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,320 But what is my plan? 182 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,880 A half-day ride and a river crossed will put Missouri behind. 183 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:04,600 But Kansas, almost 500 miles to cross straight away, coursed by roads and trails, with many 184 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,520 people. 185 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,480 My plan is to run, and I know it, blindly, because there's no other way. 186 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,760 Once across Kansas... 187 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Yes, there is hope if we are once across Kansas. 188 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,960 Hold that. 189 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,560 Hold. 190 00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:30,960 Slow down. 191 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,960 Hold. 192 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:32,960 Hold. 193 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,960 Men are here. 194 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,960 Four of them, Jim. 195 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,960 What do we do? 196 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,720 We do what's necessary, no more, no less. 197 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,720 Do we fight? 198 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,760 I'll thank you to keep your youth and your fright under control. 199 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,280 We fight only if we're provoked. 200 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,360 I'll talk, if you don't mind. 201 00:09:51,360 --> 00:10:00,600 Good afternoon, friends. 202 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,600 Good afternoon to you. 203 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Where are you bound? 204 00:10:04,480
