Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford The
|
| 00:01:11 |
He was growing into middle age... |
| 00:01:13 |
...and was living then in a bungalow |
| 00:01:19 |
He installed himself in a rocking chair... |
| 00:01:21 |
...and smoked a cigar down |
| 00:01:23 |
...as his wife wiped her pink hands |
| 00:01:26 |
...and reported happily |
| 00:01:35 |
His children knew his legs... |
| 00:01:37 |
...the sting of his mustache |
| 00:01:41 |
They didn't know how their father made |
| 00:01:47 |
They didn't even know |
| 00:01:52 |
He was listed in the city directory |
| 00:01:57 |
And he went everywhere unrecognized... |
| 00:01:59 |
...and lunched with Kansas City |
| 00:02:03 |
...calling himself a cattleman |
| 00:02:07 |
...someone rich and leisured |
| 00:02:13 |
He had two incompletely healed |
| 00:02:17 |
...and another in his thigh. |
| 00:02:19 |
He was missing the nub |
| 00:02:21 |
...and was cautious, |
| 00:02:26 |
He also had a condition that was |
| 00:02:30 |
...and it caused him |
| 00:02:34 |
...as if he found creation |
| 00:02:40 |
Rooms seemed hotter |
| 00:02:43 |
Rains fell straighter. |
| 00:02:45 |
Clocks slowed. |
| 00:02:47 |
Sounds were amplified. |
| 00:02:51 |
He considered himself |
| 00:02:53 |
...in a Civil War that never ended. |
| 00:02:57 |
He regretted neither his robberies, |
| 00:03:09 |
He had seen another summer under |
| 00:03:13 |
...and on September 5th |
| 00:03:18 |
...he was 34 years old. |
| 00:03:28 |
You just... You just slide them things |
| 00:03:32 |
...and then, when you get ready, |
| 00:03:35 |
Like that, right there. You shake it out. |
| 00:03:41 |
Mary Todd Lincoln, tyrant's wife, fall |
| 00:03:45 |
President's men would tie her up |
| 00:03:48 |
...keep her from ripping |
| 00:03:50 |
You never heard word one about the wife of |
| 00:03:55 |
- I didn't. |
| 00:03:57 |
He did his duty by her. |
| 00:04:01 |
- Oh, my God, I'm speaking to children. |
| 00:04:04 |
The president of the Confederacy discerned |
| 00:04:09 |
...with the utmost skill |
| 00:04:15 |
- Charley, you spit all over my boot. |
| 00:04:19 |
- Here, get it off. |
| 00:04:23 |
But Abraham Lincoln probably sent his wife |
| 00:04:27 |
- A three-act play. |
| 00:04:31 |
Chow! |
| 00:04:36 |
I think insanity run on both sides |
| 00:04:39 |
You're right about that. |
| 00:04:41 |
The river... You jump in the river. |
| 00:04:46 |
- Chow! |
| 00:04:50 |
- One more piece of meat. |
| 00:04:52 |
There's a good piece of bacon fat |
| 00:05:30 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:05:32 |
I see I've traipsed right on in |
| 00:05:38 |
Who are you, then? |
| 00:05:41 |
Bob Ford. |
| 00:05:44 |
Charley's brother? |
| 00:05:47 |
Yeah. |
| 00:06:02 |
I was lying when I said |
| 00:06:05 |
I've been looking for you. I feel lousy |
| 00:06:12 |
Folks take me for a nincompoop... |
| 00:06:14 |
...on account of the shabby first impression |
| 00:06:18 |
...as being just a rung down |
| 00:06:21 |
I was hoping if I ran into you |
| 00:06:24 |
...I could show you how special I am. |
| 00:06:40 |
I honestly believe I'm destined |
| 00:06:44 |
I got qualities that don't come shining |
| 00:06:51 |
You give me a chance, I'll get |
| 00:07:00 |
Hey, Dick, is it true you diddled a squaw? |
| 00:07:04 |
Come on, you can tell me. I've always |
| 00:07:09 |
Well, Charley... |
| 00:07:12 |
...there's a feeling that comes over you... |
| 00:07:15 |
...getting inside a woman whose hands |
| 00:07:19 |
There's this thunderous sound |
| 00:07:22 |
...on account of the fact that |
| 00:07:26 |
...like a wild animal. |
| 00:07:29 |
Whatever a thunderous cooch sounds like |
| 00:07:34 |
No. |
| 00:07:35 |
They got a noisy quim |
| 00:07:38 |
...they use their cunnis as a saddlebag |
| 00:07:44 |
Come on, what'd it really feel like? |
| 00:07:47 |
Come on, fess up, now. |
| 00:07:49 |
I like you, Charley. |
| 00:07:53 |
I like you too, Charley. |
| 00:07:55 |
Well... |
| 00:07:58 |
You're not so special, Mr. Ford. |
| 00:08:01 |
You're just like any other tyro |
| 00:08:06 |
Hoping to be a gunslinger |
| 00:08:10 |
You may as well quench your mind of it... |
| 00:08:14 |
...because you don't have |
| 00:08:33 |
Well, I'm sorry to hear |
| 00:08:35 |
...as I put such stock |
| 00:08:44 |
As for me being a gunslinger, I've just got |
| 00:08:48 |
...and a borrowed belt to stick it in. |
| 00:08:51 |
But I also got an appetite |
| 00:08:57 |
I hoped by joining up with you, it'd put me |
| 00:09:05 |
Well, what am I supposed to say to that? |
| 00:09:09 |
Let me be your sidekick tonight. |
| 00:09:11 |
Sidekick? |
| 00:09:12 |
So you can examine my grit |
| 00:09:15 |
I don't know what it is about you... |
| 00:09:16 |
...but the more you talk, |
| 00:09:20 |
Now, I don't believe I want you anywhere |
| 00:09:24 |
You understand? |
| 00:09:29 |
- Well, I'm sorry... |
| 00:09:39 |
All right. |
| 00:09:43 |
I was with a girl once, wasn't a squaw. |
| 00:09:47 |
But she was pretty. |
| 00:09:49 |
She had yellow hair like a... |
| 00:09:55 |
Oh, like something. |
| 00:09:57 |
Like hair bobbed from a ray of sunlight? |
| 00:10:00 |
Yeah. Yeah, like that. |
| 00:10:04 |
Boy, you... You talk good. |
| 00:10:06 |
You can hide things in vocabulary. |
| 00:10:11 |
Maybe you and me could write her a note, |
| 00:10:16 |
See, all you gotta do, Ed... |
| 00:10:18 |
...is predict her needs |
| 00:10:23 |
Well, this girl, she has a real specific job. |
| 00:10:28 |
- Specific? |
| 00:10:30 |
She... |
| 00:10:32 |
She was afraid of lightning, |
| 00:10:37 |
...just cuddled right up to me. |
| 00:10:40 |
She give me a kind price too. |
| 00:10:44 |
Well, I'll be. That is specific. |
| 00:10:51 |
Yeah, sure, |
| 00:10:53 |
...but the kind of things she said to me... |
| 00:10:55 |
...people just don't say |
| 00:11:00 |
My love said she would marry only me |
| 00:11:03 |
And Jove himself could not make her care. |
| 00:11:06 |
For what women say to lovers, you'll agree |
| 00:11:09 |
One writes on running water or on air. |
| 00:11:14 |
My God, that's good. |
| 00:11:19 |
No. |
| 00:11:21 |
Poetry don't work on whores. |
| 00:11:27 |
How do you do? |
| 00:11:31 |
Am I too late |
| 00:11:35 |
How'd you know? |
| 00:11:37 |
You'd be surprised |
| 00:11:40 |
I'm an authority on the James boys. |
| 00:11:42 |
Is you? |
| 00:11:46 |
Well... Well, your brother Frank and I, |
| 00:11:50 |
Just chit-chatting about this and that, |
| 00:11:55 |
And must've been a hundred subjects |
| 00:11:58 |
Good Lord, you know |
| 00:12:05 |
Dumplings? |
| 00:12:07 |
Noodles. |
| 00:12:09 |
You eat yourself some noodle stew |
| 00:12:12 |
You ever see that woman up in Fayette? |
| 00:12:18 |
- In Fayette? |
| 00:12:20 |
You never heard of her, huh? |
| 00:12:23 |
You got canals up there |
| 00:12:30 |
I don't like to harp on a subject... |
| 00:12:32 |
I don't care who comes with me. |
| 00:12:35 |
That's why they call me gregarious. |
| 00:12:39 |
I hear you and young Stovepipe here |
| 00:12:42 |
Your boys have got about a acre |
| 00:12:47 |
You better goose them down yonder. |
| 00:12:59 |
The James Gang committed over 25 bank, |
| 00:13:04 |
...from 1867 to 1881. |
| 00:13:08 |
But except for Frank and Jesse James... |
| 00:13:10 |
...all the original members |
| 00:13:15 |
- mine eye |
| 00:13:20 |
And for this sin, there is no remedy |
| 00:13:24 |
It is so grounded inward in my heart. |
| 00:13:27 |
So for their last robbery at Blue Cut... |
| 00:13:29 |
...the brothers recruited a gang |
| 00:13:33 |
...culled from the local hillsides. |
| 00:14:52 |
Right on schedule, Buck! |
| 00:14:56 |
Snuff those lanterns! |
| 00:14:59 |
Look at those fools. They're gonna trip |
| 00:15:03 |
I bet you I could find them husbands |
| 00:16:51 |
Fan out! |
| 00:16:56 |
Hold your fire! |
| 00:17:01 |
- Watch him! |
| 00:17:16 |
Hold your fire, you idiots! |
| 00:17:19 |
Hold your fire! |
| 00:17:31 |
Let me in. |
| 00:17:34 |
Buck! Boys! |
| 00:17:36 |
Buck, this way! |
| 00:17:39 |
Do you think that lock will hold? |
| 00:17:43 |
No, I don't. |
| 00:17:45 |
Let's go, let's go. |
| 00:17:59 |
Let's not get clever, nor courageous, |
| 00:18:15 |
Hey there, boys! |
| 00:18:21 |
Looks like Christmas morning in here. |
| 00:18:25 |
Hey, friend. |
| 00:18:28 |
You mind if I have a peek around? |
| 00:18:30 |
This shit. Nope. |
| 00:18:34 |
Nope. |
| 00:18:37 |
You got anything good here? |
| 00:18:40 |
It could be. |
| 00:18:56 |
Open that safe. |
| 00:19:03 |
Do it! |
| 00:19:08 |
- You didn't have to bop him. |
| 00:19:11 |
They got their company rules, |
| 00:19:14 |
...and that's how |
| 00:19:18 |
- Get on over here and attend to this thing. |
| 00:19:26 |
Hold your fire, you idiots! |
| 00:19:29 |
Dig deeper. |
| 00:19:33 |
- Come on! |
| 00:19:36 |
- And you, stand up. |
| 00:19:39 |
What have you got? |
| 00:19:42 |
Speak English. |
| 00:19:45 |
Money. Money. You understand that? |
| 00:19:50 |
Give me your money! |
| 00:20:01 |
There's some receipts. |
| 00:20:05 |
I got fives. |
| 00:20:08 |
Jesse. Jesse. |
| 00:20:14 |
Don't look good. |
| 00:20:21 |
There ain't no 100,000 dollars |
| 00:20:34 |
Get down on your knees. |
| 00:20:36 |
Why? |
| 00:20:38 |
Well, you ought to pray. |
| 00:20:41 |
I'm gonna kill you. |
| 00:20:49 |
Get at! |
| 00:20:53 |
You're gonna have to make me. |
| 00:20:58 |
All right. |
| 00:21:26 |
Don't shoot him! No, don't shoot him. |
| 00:21:41 |
Don't tell me what I can |
| 00:21:48 |
Round them up! |
| 00:22:14 |
Chicago newspaper publishers made |
| 00:22:17 |
...alleging that in no state |
| 00:22:20 |
...would the James brothers be tolerated |
| 00:22:24 |
Hey. |
| 00:22:27 |
Can you keep a secret? |
| 00:22:30 |
It depends on what you're concealing. |
| 00:22:34 |
You afraid of the dark? |
| 00:22:37 |
No. |
| 00:22:39 |
You superstitious? |
| 00:22:44 |
I put... I put an acorn in the window |
| 00:23:37 |
Kid, you must've crept up on cat's paws. |
| 00:23:43 |
I'll wager that's the first and last time |
| 00:23:49 |
How old are you? |
| 00:23:52 |
Twenty. |
| 00:23:56 |
Except, well, I guess I won't |
| 00:24:00 |
Till January, so... |
| 00:24:03 |
I'm 19. |
| 00:24:07 |
Yeah, you feel older than that, though, |
| 00:24:15 |
Yeah, I do. |
| 00:24:30 |
Hey, Frank, you... |
| 00:24:36 |
- More than likely. |
| 00:24:42 |
I had a real fine time tonight. |
| 00:24:44 |
- You think so? |
| 00:24:48 |
Hey, I wasn't just flapping my lips |
| 00:24:51 |
What I figured was if you and Jesse could |
| 00:24:56 |
...you might just make us |
| 00:24:58 |
Your courage and your daring. |
| 00:25:02 |
I about heard all I want to about sidekicks. |
| 00:25:07 |
Yeah. Well, I'll be square with you, |
| 00:25:12 |
He's got plans for the James boys |
| 00:25:16 |
- They're that complicated. |
| 00:25:18 |
Well, you can just |
| 00:25:21 |
Because after tonight, |
| 00:25:24 |
You can jot that down in your little diary. |
| 00:25:27 |
September 7th, 1881, the James Gang |
| 00:25:32 |
...and gave up their nightriding for good. |
| 00:25:42 |
Wait. |
| 00:25:45 |
Well, how are you gonna |
| 00:25:52 |
Maybe I'll sell shoes. |
| 00:26:04 |
I can't believe I woke up this morning... |
| 00:26:07 |
...wondering if my daddy |
| 00:26:10 |
...and here it is just past midnight... |
| 00:26:12 |
...I've already robbed a railroad train |
| 00:26:16 |
...chatting with none other |
| 00:26:19 |
Yeah, it's a wonderful world. |
| 00:26:30 |
What's this? |
| 00:26:32 |
Oh, yeah. |
| 00:26:35 |
I was real agitated this morning, so I was |
| 00:26:39 |
...tell you all apart, and so I had |
| 00:26:45 |
Want me to read it? |
| 00:26:47 |
Go on. |
| 00:26:48 |
Well... I gotta find it. Hold on. |
| 00:26:53 |
Here. Here. |
| 00:26:56 |
"Jesse James, the youngest, has a face |
| 00:27:00 |
The blue eyes, very clear and penetrating, |
| 00:27:05 |
His form is tall and graceful |
| 00:27:08 |
...and great effort. |
| 00:27:10 |
Jesse is lighthearted, reckless, |
| 00:27:15 |
- There's always a smile on his lips..." |
| 00:27:18 |
Well, yeah, then it just... Frank, Frank, |
| 00:27:35 |
You know what I got |
| 00:27:37 |
Is The Train Robbers, or, A Story |
| 00:27:42 |
I mean, many's the night I stayed up... |
| 00:27:46 |
...with my eyes open |
| 00:27:48 |
...just reading about your escapades |
| 00:27:53 |
They're all lies, you know. |
| 00:27:58 |
Yeah, of course they are. |
| 00:28:04 |
You don't have to keep smoking that |
| 00:28:31 |
Alexander Franklin James |
| 00:28:33 |
...when he would read of |
| 00:28:50 |
He had spurned his younger brother |
| 00:28:56 |
But once he perceived |
| 00:29:00 |
...Frank would be wrought-up, |
| 00:29:44 |
My brother and me are hardly |
| 00:29:48 |
Well, I wasn't gonna mention it. |
| 00:30:01 |
Are you scared? |
| 00:30:03 |
No, I'm just surprised a little. |
| 00:30:06 |
They ain't as succulent as I like, |
| 00:30:08 |
...but if a man skins them |
| 00:30:12 |
...mercy, them's good eating. |
| 00:30:15 |
Well, I never been that hungry. |
| 00:30:21 |
I give them names. |
| 00:30:24 |
Such as? |
| 00:30:28 |
Such as enemies. |
| 00:30:32 |
I give them names of enemies. |
| 00:30:47 |
Go tell Wood and Charley |
| 00:30:52 |
All right. |
| 00:30:55 |
Me too? |
| 00:30:59 |
You can stay. |
| 00:31:04 |
All right. |
| 00:31:11 |
Hey. |
| 00:31:15 |
- What do you want, peckerwood? |
| 00:31:18 |
Except to say Jesse wants |
| 00:31:20 |
...get on your horses |
| 00:31:23 |
And me to stick around. |
| 00:31:28 |
Well, whoa, I'm his cousin... |
| 00:31:31 |
...I'll have you know. |
| 00:31:33 |
My mama's his daddy's sister. |
| 00:31:35 |
Is that how they described it to you, |
| 00:31:39 |
You better watch your tongue, |
| 00:31:41 |
Why is it me who's gotta rattle his hocks |
| 00:31:45 |
Put your horns away. |
| 00:31:47 |
...there's some real nasty |
| 00:31:51 |
...and Bob's the ninny that has to do it. |
| 00:31:54 |
Oh, yeah, I'm sure that's it, Charley. |
| 00:31:58 |
You only met him 12 hours ago. |
| 00:32:03 |
Wood! You tell your daddy |
| 00:32:08 |
We can hunt some birds together. |
| 00:32:11 |
All right. |
| 00:32:13 |
So how come it's Bob who gets to stay? |
| 00:32:19 |
Bob's gonna move my gear to a house |
| 00:32:23 |
See? |
| 00:32:25 |
- I don't mind. |
| 00:32:28 |
Sounds like an adventure. |
| 00:32:35 |
They moved to 1017 Troost Avenue |
| 00:32:38 |
...so that the neighborhood couldn't get |
| 00:32:44 |
Then Bob thought Jesse |
| 00:32:47 |
...and a daydreaming goodbye. |
| 00:32:52 |
But with a second day |
| 00:32:55 |
...Bob thought he might never go... |
| 00:32:58 |
...but might be brought in |
| 00:33:04 |
...and a gentleman helper to Zee. |
| 00:33:09 |
He went everywhere with Jesse. |
| 00:33:11 |
They made trips |
| 00:33:14 |
...where Jesse could spend nearly |
| 00:33:18 |
...and still complain about feeling tipsy. |
| 00:33:22 |
Bob would rarely vouchsafe his opinions |
| 00:33:25 |
If spoken to, he would fidget and grin. |
| 00:33:29 |
If Jesse palavered with another person, |
| 00:33:33 |
...getting each inflection, |
| 00:33:37 |
...as if he wanted to compose |
| 00:33:41 |
...or as if he were preparing |
| 00:33:59 |
Go away. |
| 00:34:04 |
Used to be couldn't no one sneak up |
| 00:34:09 |
Now you think otherwise? |
| 00:34:13 |
I ain't never seen you without your guns, |
| 00:34:29 |
I can't figure it out. |
| 00:34:32 |
Do you wanna be like me... |
| 00:34:35 |
...or do you wanna be me? |
| 00:34:42 |
I'm just making fun, is all. |
| 00:34:47 |
Bob was sent away cordially |
| 00:34:51 |
...with a goodbye from Jesse... |
| 00:34:52 |
...but nothing from Zee |
| 00:35:00 |
It was 40 miles to his sister's farm |
| 00:35:04 |
And it was well into the afternoon |
| 00:35:09 |
Mrs. Martha Bolton rented |
| 00:35:13 |
...just after becoming a widow. |
| 00:35:17 |
And she made a good income |
| 00:35:19 |
...to her brothers Charley, Wilbur and Bob, |
| 00:35:25 |
...who would appear |
| 00:35:27 |
Dick! You're gonna make her sick! |
| 00:35:29 |
She's gonna upchuck |
| 00:35:33 |
Wood Hite had been spurned by Martha |
| 00:35:36 |
...and his attempt to switch his pursuit |
| 00:35:39 |
...was being thwarted by Dick Liddil. |
| 00:35:41 |
Wait a second, you assured me |
| 00:35:45 |
Howdy! |
| 00:35:46 |
What's going on, now? |
| 00:35:48 |
- Howdy! |
| 00:35:51 |
- No. |
| 00:35:54 |
You're not supposed to peek, Dick. |
| 00:35:56 |
Well, you're just so pretty |
| 00:35:59 |
- You need to be warning him about that. |
| 00:36:01 |
Worry about the field instead, |
| 00:36:05 |
Howdy! |
| 00:36:08 |
- Finally home. |
| 00:36:11 |
I'm in that room too, Bob. |
| 00:36:14 |
All right, Grandpa. |
| 00:36:22 |
"July 9th. Diligence, tact, |
| 00:36:28 |
...capacity for detail are your dominant |
| 00:37:16 |
How long you been there? |
| 00:37:18 |
Just now arrived. Did I miss much? |
| 00:37:23 |
Not unless you never seen a man |
| 00:37:26 |
Boy, you got a big old pecker |
| 00:37:30 |
That what you come here to see, Dick? |
| 00:37:34 |
No. |
| 00:37:36 |
Your brother said that Jesse |
| 00:37:40 |
What was the reason? |
| 00:37:43 |
Well, I'm not at liberty to say exactly. |
| 00:37:48 |
Let me ask you this. Did Jesse mention |
| 00:37:54 |
Is that so? |
| 00:37:56 |
Oh, dear. I went on and said too much, |
| 00:38:00 |
Well, who else is partners with you two? |
| 00:38:04 |
See, he'll cut our throats if he finds out. |
| 00:38:09 |
You do Jesse dirt, |
| 00:38:13 |
...boy, he'll come after you |
| 00:38:19 |
So, what are you two cahoots |
| 00:38:24 |
Don't know that I should say. |
| 00:38:27 |
I'm not gonna wheedle |
| 00:38:29 |
How about we'll leave it a mystery... |
| 00:38:31 |
...and then we won't neither one of us |
| 00:38:41 |
Can you hand me that six-gun there, Bob? |
| 00:38:53 |
If you so much as mention my name |
| 00:38:57 |
...boy, I'll find out about it. |
| 00:39:00 |
You had better believe that. |
| 00:39:03 |
And I'll look you up. |
| 00:39:05 |
I'll knock on your door, |
| 00:39:11 |
I will be hot. |
| 00:39:15 |
You be careful with that iron, Dick. |
| 00:39:26 |
You know where I stand on these matters |
| 00:39:30 |
Me and you can be as friendly as pigs |
| 00:39:59 |
I'm Bunny Ford, stick your hands |
| 00:40:03 |
Mister. |
| 00:40:09 |
Oh, you have some nerve. |
| 00:40:13 |
We were just reading about the James boys |
| 00:40:20 |
What's this? This ain't Jesse. |
| 00:40:23 |
- You don't know that. |
| 00:40:26 |
Never was anywheres near a cannon. |
| 00:40:29 |
Let me see that picture. |
| 00:40:31 |
Boy, I can't even calculate |
| 00:40:34 |
- Give me that. |
| 00:40:37 |
...Bob's collected whatsoever he could find |
| 00:40:40 |
Yeah, got himself a little museum |
| 00:40:42 |
Next time you come snooping around, |
| 00:40:47 |
Well, you can see how scared I am. |
| 00:40:49 |
You too, Wood Hite. Cross me again, |
| 00:40:54 |
Boy, you... |
| 00:40:56 |
Son, you better recollect |
| 00:40:59 |
...because you've seemed to misremembered |
| 00:41:03 |
Now, you may play it like you're |
| 00:41:07 |
...but don't misremember |
| 00:41:09 |
...if I so much get my feelings hurt. |
| 00:41:12 |
Do I have to yell "suwee"? |
| 00:41:14 |
Why don't we make up, |
| 00:41:16 |
Why don't we pass the evening |
| 00:41:19 |
I like your nickel suit, cowboy. |
| 00:41:47 |
You see something? |
| 00:41:50 |
Just a bird. |
| 00:41:56 |
The month of October came... |
| 00:41:58 |
...and Jesse began seeing |
| 00:42:01 |
...street sweeper, and common man |
| 00:42:08 |
On the morning of the 11th, |
| 00:42:11 |
...with the Scripture pertaining to |
| 00:42:19 |
Overnight, the Thomas Howard clan |
| 00:42:34 |
Shortly thereafter, |
| 00:42:37 |
...were arrested in shacks near Glendale. |
| 00:42:45 |
How Jesse could have known |
| 00:43:00 |
Theirs was a wandering existence. |
| 00:43:04 |
Men who choose to be outlaws... |
| 00:43:05 |
...cannot afford to remain in one place |
| 00:43:18 |
- Well, goodness. Maybe I'll change my mind. |
| 00:43:23 |
- Martha. |
| 00:43:25 |
Wood and Dick would bicker |
| 00:43:29 |
...until they made Russellville, home |
| 00:43:34 |
...and uncle to Frank and Jesse James. |
| 00:43:45 |
You stay away from this one. |
| 00:43:48 |
She's my daddy's wife. |
| 00:43:51 |
You got it? |
| 00:44:17 |
Did you cook this, ma'am? |
| 00:44:21 |
I've got a nigger woman. |
| 00:44:26 |
How's that? |
| 00:44:31 |
Dick asked if I cooked this. |
| 00:44:35 |
Did you? |
| 00:44:39 |
No. |
| 00:44:49 |
She knew what he was like |
| 00:45:18 |
I guess we're the night owls, you and I. |
| 00:45:24 |
I'm glad. |
| 00:45:28 |
How come? |
| 00:45:30 |
You're interesting to look at. |
| 00:45:34 |
You have a real pleasant disposition. |
| 00:45:39 |
And I don't know, you sort of |
| 00:45:45 |
You know, I'm what they call a... |
| 00:45:54 |
Well, I knew |
| 00:46:02 |
You and the Hites |
| 00:46:04 |
...if I'm to trust Wood and his version |
| 00:46:09 |
We hate each other like poison, |
| 00:46:13 |
Most of the Hites wouldn't spit on me |
| 00:46:19 |
They say that when a woman's on fire... |
| 00:46:22 |
...you're supposed to roll her around on |
| 00:46:28 |
Well, you are a naughty tease. |
| 00:46:37 |
Isn't it about bedtime? |
| 00:46:41 |
Well, I'll just kiss those dainty nubbins. |
| 00:46:57 |
Good night. |
| 00:47:13 |
Would you stop? |
| 00:47:20 |
Boy, I believe I drank too much coffee. |
| 00:47:27 |
I gotta go visit the privy |
| 00:48:00 |
This is embarrassing. |
| 00:48:03 |
Now, you go ahead and do your duty. |
| 00:48:08 |
I've sort of got stage fright with |
| 00:48:13 |
I ain't strange. |
| 00:48:14 |
I'm built just like the rest of them. |
| 00:48:20 |
You look awful pretty. |
| 00:48:25 |
Do I? |
| 00:48:27 |
I haven't never in my life seen |
| 00:48:39 |
Is Wood awake? |
| 00:48:43 |
It's just me. |
| 00:48:53 |
And I bet you thought I was a lady. |
| 00:49:43 |
Well, you ain't much of a housekeeper, |
| 00:49:49 |
You didn't just happen by. |
| 00:49:53 |
Why not? |
| 00:50:22 |
Go on and take a load off your feet. |
| 00:50:50 |
You ought to get yourself a wife. |
| 00:50:52 |
Yeah. |
| 00:50:54 |
I suppose. |
| 00:50:59 |
I was gonna ask Martha. Charley's sister. |
| 00:51:02 |
I was gonna ask her |
| 00:51:07 |
But I guess Wood has plans of his own. |
| 00:51:11 |
And there's always Dick Liddil |
| 00:51:14 |
I'll give it some thought, though. |
| 00:51:17 |
Your crops come in? |
| 00:51:20 |
No, I don't got much. |
| 00:51:28 |
I was sick at planting time. |
| 00:51:31 |
So... |
| 00:51:35 |
Ed, how you feeling now? |
| 00:51:40 |
Why? |
| 00:51:43 |
You're acting queer. |
| 00:51:53 |
Well, you and me ain't been |
| 00:51:58 |
That's not your fault, |
| 00:52:03 |
You hear talk, though. |
| 00:52:07 |
Talk? |
| 00:52:12 |
People tell you things. |
| 00:52:22 |
Why don't you give me an example? |
| 00:52:29 |
Jim Cummins come by here. |
| 00:52:32 |
Jim Cummins. |
| 00:52:35 |
Oh, and Jim says: |
| 00:52:40 |
"You know them boys |
| 00:52:47 |
Well, Jim says he got word... |
| 00:52:53 |
...that you're planning to kill them. |
| 00:52:59 |
Why would I do that? |
| 00:53:03 |
That's just talk probably. |
| 00:53:09 |
Jim Cummins. He say anything else? |
| 00:53:13 |
Nope. No, that was it, basically. |
| 00:53:28 |
That still don't explain why you're scared. |
| 00:53:34 |
Well, I'm in the same situation, you see. |
| 00:53:37 |
I was terrified I saw you ride up. |
| 00:53:40 |
- I just happened by, Ed. |
| 00:53:43 |
Suppose you heard Jim Cummins |
| 00:53:46 |
...that we were planning to capture you |
| 00:53:51 |
But you might have suspected it. |
| 00:54:12 |
Haven't heard a lick of gossip lately. |
| 00:54:15 |
I got 600 dollars stashed away. |
| 00:54:22 |
Well, it's the principle too. |
| 00:54:29 |
Well... |
| 00:54:31 |
- I'm glad I stopped by. |
| 00:54:59 |
What do you say |
| 00:55:07 |
We can go into town. I'll buy you dinner. |
| 00:55:12 |
Then I'll be on my way. |
| 00:55:23 |
Okay. |
| 00:56:25 |
You ready to go for a ride? |
| 00:56:43 |
We going to your place? |
| 00:56:50 |
You seen Ed Miller lately? |
| 00:56:53 |
Nobody has. |
| 00:56:59 |
Must have gone off to California. |
| 00:57:06 |
I'd still like to know where we're going. |
| 00:57:13 |
If you were going to see Jim Cummins, |
| 00:57:23 |
I guess so. |
| 00:58:07 |
Howdy. |
| 00:58:20 |
Oh, are you friends of my pa's? |
| 00:58:27 |
We're friends of Jim Cummins. |
| 00:58:33 |
Well, it so happens |
| 00:58:36 |
And never said where he gone to. |
| 00:58:43 |
- I'm Matt Collins. |
| 00:58:46 |
Very happy to meet you. |
| 00:58:54 |
- Dick Turpin. |
| 00:59:10 |
I don't know where he is! |
| 00:59:12 |
Shut your mouth! |
| 00:59:16 |
- You shut your mouth. |
| 00:59:20 |
- I don't know! |
| 00:59:23 |
Shut up. |
| 00:59:24 |
- I don't know where he is! |
| 00:59:27 |
- I don't know! |
| 00:59:29 |
- Jesus. |
| 00:59:30 |
Jesse, he's just a kid. |
| 00:59:33 |
He knows where his uncle Jim is and |
| 00:59:37 |
- Maybe he doesn't know. |
| 00:59:39 |
You need to ask and ask sometimes. |
| 00:59:41 |
Sometimes a child don't remember so much |
| 00:59:47 |
My goodness, she's about to rip off, |
| 00:59:49 |
Just a little more here to get her started. |
| 00:59:52 |
Then I think I can rip her off |
| 00:59:54 |
Jesus, he can't even talk. |
| 00:59:59 |
Where's Jim? |
| 01:00:01 |
Where's Jim? |
| 01:00:03 |
Where's Jim? Where's Jim? |
| 01:00:05 |
Where's Jim? Where's Jim? Where's Jim? |
| 01:00:09 |
- Where's Jim? |
| 01:00:11 |
You bastard! I don't know where he is! |
| 01:00:14 |
You won't believe me! |
| 01:00:17 |
You kept my... You kept my mouth shut! |
| 01:00:20 |
I never know where Jim is or |
| 01:00:24 |
Get off me, you son of a bitch! |
| 01:01:19 |
I'm worn out. |
| 01:01:22 |
I can't. No, see... |
| 01:01:27 |
My mind's all tangled anyway. |
| 01:01:31 |
Little deals like this |
| 01:01:55 |
Are you all right, Jesse? |
| 01:02:26 |
Jesse was sick... |
| 01:02:28 |
...with rheums, and aches |
| 01:02:33 |
Insomnia stained |
| 01:02:37 |
He read auguries in |
| 01:02:41 |
...or the blow of cat hair |
| 01:02:46 |
And the omens promised bad luck, |
| 01:03:32 |
How come it's you |
| 01:03:35 |
Charley and Bob pay extry to Martha |
| 01:03:41 |
It still don't seem fair. |
| 01:03:50 |
Martha. |
| 01:03:53 |
Well, look what the cat dragged in. |
| 01:04:00 |
You come from Kentucky? |
| 01:04:05 |
Why do you have your head in a hole, |
| 01:04:12 |
Wood and Dick had a shooting scrape |
| 01:04:17 |
Cover the kettle, Ida. |
| 01:04:24 |
And what did you and Dick |
| 01:04:30 |
Well, he tampered |
| 01:04:34 |
...while a pork chop |
| 01:04:37 |
...so I shot at him. |
| 01:04:44 |
Ida! Do not stick your thumb |
| 01:04:50 |
His chicanery and his philandering ways... |
| 01:04:55 |
...has instigated such malice. |
| 01:04:57 |
He's a yellow snake in the grass |
| 01:05:04 |
Dick told me a complete other version |
| 01:05:09 |
Wood Hite's downstairs. |
| 01:05:12 |
You mean he's here? |
| 01:05:17 |
Yeah, he come in late last night. |
| 01:05:23 |
Hey, simmer down! |
| 01:05:24 |
Don't get into a fracas up there, you boys! |
| 01:07:40 |
He's still sucking air. |
| 01:07:43 |
But I think he's a goner. |
| 01:07:55 |
Maybe y'all better come wish him well |
| 01:08:26 |
Wood? |
| 01:08:29 |
You were a good fellow, Wood. |
| 01:08:32 |
Oh, I sure hope you're not |
| 01:08:36 |
I'd get you something to drink, |
| 01:08:41 |
Little Ida's gonna miss you. |
| 01:08:44 |
So is the rest of the family. |
| 01:08:49 |
Well, one thing's settled. |
| 01:08:54 |
Why not? |
| 01:08:56 |
Well, one, sheriff'll put Bob in jail. |
| 01:08:59 |
And two, Jesse'll find out his cousin |
| 01:09:03 |
...and then that'll be the end |
| 01:09:16 |
"And in one merciless, violent thrust |
| 01:09:20 |
...and carried all before him, |
| 01:09:23 |
...reeking with blood of my virginity... |
| 01:09:26 |
...up to its utmost length in my body." |
| 01:09:32 |
He ain't disappeared, |
| 01:09:39 |
What chapter you on? |
| 01:09:42 |
She's met some Algerian corsair |
| 01:09:47 |
Got herself all agitated. |
| 01:09:52 |
How's that leg? |
| 01:09:54 |
Full of torment, Bob. Thanks for asking. |
| 01:10:44 |
Blessed are the poor in spirit... |
| 01:10:47 |
...for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 01:10:51 |
Blessed are them that mourn, |
| 01:10:58 |
Blessed are the... |
| 01:11:04 |
Meek. |
| 01:11:08 |
Blessed are the meek. |
| 01:11:45 |
- Is it him? |
| 01:11:48 |
Why is he here? Does he know |
| 01:11:51 |
I don't know. All I know is |
| 01:11:53 |
- What should I say about you if he asks? |
| 01:12:00 |
He was buffalo hunting. |
| 01:12:04 |
Yeah, over there in Europe there's only |
| 01:12:08 |
...Mark Twain and Jesse James. |
| 01:12:12 |
- Why, it's the kid. |
| 01:12:18 |
- I never take off my gun belts. |
| 01:12:21 |
Good thinking. |
| 01:12:29 |
Well, Charley, did you hurt your leg? |
| 01:12:33 |
Yeah, I slipped... |
| 01:12:36 |
...and I smacked down into a snow bank |
| 01:12:39 |
One second I'm screaming, |
| 01:12:42 |
Next second, poof, |
| 01:12:48 |
Well, whatever possessed you |
| 01:12:58 |
There was a k... A kite. What am I saying? |
| 01:13:01 |
A cat. It was on the roof |
| 01:13:04 |
It was a tomcat yowling |
| 01:13:20 |
I thought maybe your club foot |
| 01:13:33 |
Oh, yeah. |
| 01:13:35 |
Dick went to Kansas City to be |
| 01:13:59 |
Hey, here's a cute story, Jess. |
| 01:14:02 |
Bobby was what, 11 or 12... |
| 01:14:05 |
...and you were by far |
| 01:14:09 |
He couldn't get enough. |
| 01:14:10 |
It was "Jesse this" and "Jesse that" |
| 01:14:15 |
Fascinating. |
| 01:14:16 |
No, there's more. This is cute. |
| 01:14:18 |
We're at supper and Bob asks, |
| 01:14:23 |
- Charley, Jesse doesn't wanna hear this. |
| 01:14:27 |
Bob says... He says, "You know |
| 01:14:30 |
He says, "Six and a half." He says, |
| 01:14:33 |
...for a man 5'8"tall?" |
| 01:14:35 |
I decided to josh him a little, you know, |
| 01:14:39 |
So I said, "He doesn't have toes is why." |
| 01:14:43 |
That's a really stupid story. |
| 01:14:44 |
"He was dangling his feet off a culvert |
| 01:14:49 |
Bob taxed himself trying to picture it. |
| 01:14:59 |
That'd be a good joke if it was funny. |
| 01:15:02 |
Isn't that a cute story, Jess? |
| 01:15:15 |
Give me some more conversations, Bob. |
| 01:15:23 |
I got one. This one's about as crackerjack... |
| 01:15:28 |
Let Bob tell it. |
| 01:15:31 |
All right. |
| 01:15:40 |
I don't even know |
| 01:15:42 |
About how you and Jesse |
| 01:15:49 |
Go on, Bob. |
| 01:15:51 |
Yeah, come on, Bob. |
| 01:15:53 |
Tell us a story. |
| 01:15:57 |
- Nope. No. |
| 01:16:09 |
Come on. |
| 01:16:17 |
Well, if you'll pardon my saying so, |
| 01:16:22 |
...it is interesting the many ways |
| 01:16:27 |
I mean, you begin with our daddies. |
| 01:16:30 |
Your daddy was a pastor |
| 01:16:33 |
...and my daddy was a pastor |
| 01:16:39 |
You're the youngest of three James boys, |
| 01:16:45 |
Between Charley and me, |
| 01:16:48 |
...with six letters in his name. |
| 01:16:50 |
And between Frank and you, is another |
| 01:16:56 |
And my Christian name |
| 01:17:01 |
You have blue eyes, I have blue eyes. |
| 01:17:04 |
You're 5'8"tall, I'm 5'8" tall. |
| 01:17:12 |
Me, I must have had a list as long as |
| 01:17:18 |
...I seem to have lost some curiosities |
| 01:17:40 |
Ain't he something? |
| 01:17:54 |
Did I ever tell you the story about |
| 01:17:59 |
Shepherd's one of |
| 01:18:01 |
He give me a story much like Bob's |
| 01:18:04 |
Going on about how much |
| 01:18:07 |
...so he could get in the gang. |
| 01:18:10 |
How could I have known |
| 01:18:13 |
How could I have known |
| 01:18:18 |
I said, "George, come on aboard. |
| 01:18:23 |
George thought he was smart, |
| 01:18:29 |
One morning, George rides into camp... |
| 01:18:32 |
...and about 20 guns open up on him. |
| 01:18:38 |
See, old George, he only had one eye. You |
| 01:18:47 |
You ought not think of me |
| 01:18:52 |
You brought him to mind. |
| 01:18:55 |
Well, it's not very flattering. |
| 01:19:03 |
Sure is good eating, Martha. |
| 01:19:07 |
Well, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. |
| 01:19:09 |
How come George |
| 01:19:16 |
I said, how come George |
| 01:19:26 |
Well, you see, George had a nephew |
| 01:19:31 |
This nephew had 5000 dollars on him. |
| 01:19:33 |
It just so happens he winds up killed |
| 01:19:38 |
And when George is in prison, |
| 01:19:42 |
"It was Jesse James |
| 01:19:51 |
It was just mean gossip, was it? |
| 01:19:55 |
Bob's the expert. Let's put it to him. |
| 01:20:03 |
Oh, dear, I made him cranky. |
| 01:20:06 |
I'm not cranky. I just been |
| 01:20:10 |
Most people get around on making fun |
| 01:20:13 |
Someone's getting awful fresh over there. |
| 01:20:15 |
Woman, shut your face for once. |
| 01:20:25 |
Don't want you to skip off |
| 01:20:28 |
...without knowing why I come by |
| 01:20:31 |
Why? So you could |
| 01:20:33 |
...you had to slap our cousin Albert around? |
| 01:20:49 |
I come by... |
| 01:20:51 |
...to ask if one of you two Fords... |
| 01:20:55 |
...would care to ride with me |
| 01:20:59 |
I guess we both agree |
| 01:21:02 |
You've been acting sort of testy. |
| 01:21:36 |
Have you seen Wood Hite lately? |
| 01:21:39 |
No. Not at all. |
| 01:21:50 |
I swear that stew |
| 01:21:53 |
- Still arguing with you, is it? |
| 01:21:57 |
- You're Charles Ford? |
| 01:21:59 |
You've seen me once or twice before. |
| 01:22:02 |
I got a letter from George Hite. |
| 01:22:05 |
He hasn't seen hide nor hair of him. |
| 01:22:09 |
And you say you haven't seen Wood? |
| 01:22:12 |
No, I... I can't imagine where he could be. |
| 01:22:43 |
Yeah? |
| 01:22:45 |
You finished with your sleeping? |
| 01:22:49 |
I could use a couple more hours |
| 01:23:03 |
Yeah. |
| 01:23:08 |
I been holding a discussion with myself |
| 01:23:13 |
My good side won out and... |
| 01:23:16 |
Well, I wanna make a clean breast |
| 01:23:20 |
Yeah, my mind's a little cobwebby |
| 01:23:25 |
I could use a little... |
| 01:23:32 |
You know I went to Kentucky? |
| 01:23:35 |
Yeah. |
| 01:23:37 |
I come back through Saline County and... |
| 01:23:41 |
...I think to myself: |
| 01:23:43 |
"Why not stop by and see Ed Miller?" |
| 01:23:50 |
So I do. |
| 01:23:56 |
Well, things are not to my satisfaction. |
| 01:24:01 |
Ed's got himself all worked up |
| 01:24:06 |
I can see that he's lying like a rug. |
| 01:24:12 |
So I say to myself, "Enough's enough." |
| 01:24:16 |
And I say to Ed, "Come on, Ed. |
| 01:24:20 |
Let's go for a ride." |
| 01:24:24 |
You understand what I'm saying? |
| 01:24:28 |
Going for a ride is like... |
| 01:24:32 |
Going for a ride |
| 01:24:37 |
Exactly. |
| 01:24:43 |
So... |
| 01:24:48 |
...Ed and Jesse... |
| 01:24:52 |
...they argue on the road. |
| 01:24:59 |
Did you ever count the stars? |
| 01:25:04 |
I can't ever get the same number. |
| 01:25:10 |
I don't even know what a star is exactly. |
| 01:25:16 |
Well, your body knows. |
| 01:25:19 |
It's your mind that forgot. |
| 01:25:31 |
You go on ahead, partner. |
| 01:26:14 |
It's okay. |
| 01:26:39 |
It's okay, sweetheart. It's okay. |
| 01:26:46 |
And when push came to shove... |
| 01:26:55 |
...Jesse shot and killed him. |
| 01:27:01 |
Jesse did. |
| 01:27:05 |
You got it. |
| 01:27:09 |
You... |
| 01:27:27 |
So, you see, your... |
| 01:27:29 |
Your cousin, he got off easy. |
| 01:27:32 |
I was just playing with Albert. |
| 01:27:35 |
Yeah, I made him squeal |
| 01:27:39 |
I'm just not as thorough as you are. |
| 01:27:53 |
You got a tale to swap with me now? |
| 01:28:05 |
I don't get your meaning. |
| 01:28:09 |
Seems to me, if you have something |
| 01:28:15 |
...it'd only be right... |
| 01:28:18 |
...that you'd spit it out now. |
| 01:28:33 |
I can't think of a single thing. |
| 01:28:38 |
About Wood Hite, for example. |
| 01:28:41 |
I'm not gonna... I been saying over and |
| 01:28:46 |
Now, I'm not gonna change my story |
| 01:28:49 |
- Why was your brother so agitated? |
| 01:28:53 |
Bob. |
| 01:28:55 |
That's just his way. He's antsy. |
| 01:28:59 |
You know? |
| 01:29:17 |
You go on back to sleep now. |
| 01:29:21 |
You got me agitated now, you see? |
| 01:29:30 |
Yeah, just ain't no peace |
| 01:29:35 |
You ought to pity my poor wife. |
| 01:29:41 |
Ed Miller was a good friend of mine. |
| 01:29:43 |
He introduced me to you |
| 01:29:47 |
I'm a little angry with you, if you |
| 01:29:54 |
You ought to pity me too. |
| 01:30:42 |
As proof of his confederacy with |
| 01:30:46 |
...that Dick Liddil was sleeping over |
| 01:30:50 |
...while his ruined leg mended. |
| 01:30:58 |
And then, created a map |
| 01:31:03 |
...leaving out the creek where |
| 01:31:09 |
Right, you boys are cornered! |
| 01:31:11 |
Come on out peaceably |
| 01:31:21 |
Don't shoot! |
| 01:31:26 |
Come on out and show yourself! |
| 01:31:43 |
Hello. |
| 01:31:45 |
We got him. |
| 01:31:47 |
Give me that Colt, son. |
| 01:31:54 |
- All right. |
| 01:31:57 |
...I have a warrant here |
| 01:32:00 |
Snowstorms would move over Missouri |
| 01:32:05 |
...shutting down commerce |
| 01:32:09 |
- Go, go, go. |
| 01:32:12 |
- He wanted to know if the papers are here. |
| 01:32:16 |
Yet this wouldn't prevent Robert Ford... |
| 01:32:18 |
...from presenting himself |
| 01:32:21 |
...at the Craig Rifles Ball on Wednesday. |
| 01:32:24 |
I deem it a great privilege |
| 01:32:28 |
...to recognize publicly... |
| 01:32:30 |
...the intelligent and effective assistance... |
| 01:32:33 |
...that Captain Henry Craig has rendered |
| 01:32:38 |
...in our joint quest |
| 01:32:41 |
...of the James band. |
| 01:32:44 |
The task that Captain Craig |
| 01:32:46 |
...will require fearless courage, |
| 01:32:51 |
...and an unerring selection |
| 01:32:55 |
Well, I've gotten the signal from my wife |
| 01:33:00 |
However, before I sit... |
| 01:33:02 |
...I would like to ask you |
| 01:33:06 |
...to a great son |
| 01:33:10 |
...my friend, Henry Craig. |
| 01:33:26 |
Yes. |
| 01:33:29 |
Just let my attorney know. |
| 01:33:38 |
Who is that? Who is it? |
| 01:33:42 |
Get out of the way now. |
| 01:33:53 |
You know, you're more goddamn trouble |
| 01:33:58 |
I was just gonna say hello. |
| 01:33:59 |
No, you weren't gonna do that, Bob. |
| 01:34:03 |
You think it's your goddamn coming-out. |
| 01:34:08 |
Now you get upstairs and try to keep your |
| 01:34:13 |
The governor'll see you in good time. |
| 01:34:21 |
Bob would later be cross-examined |
| 01:34:23 |
...about the exact nature of the deal |
| 01:34:28 |
And he was never consistent |
| 01:34:35 |
My wife's asleep in the other room, |
| 01:34:40 |
So you're Dick Little. |
| 01:34:44 |
Liddil. |
| 01:34:46 |
I beg your pardon? |
| 01:34:48 |
I spell it with two D's. |
| 01:34:50 |
He's given us a full confession, governor. |
| 01:34:53 |
Newspapers haven't caught onto it yet. |
| 01:34:55 |
And you've guaranteed him |
| 01:34:59 |
...and amnesty for all the robberies |
| 01:35:04 |
You Robert Ford? |
| 01:35:09 |
How old are you? |
| 01:35:12 |
Twenty. |
| 01:35:14 |
You surrender to Sheriff Timberlake |
| 01:35:17 |
No, no, governor. That's his brother, |
| 01:35:21 |
But little Bob here, |
| 01:35:24 |
He's just acting in capacity as a... |
| 01:35:28 |
...private detective. |
| 01:35:32 |
Jesse James sent me a telegram |
| 01:35:34 |
...saying he'd kill me |
| 01:35:37 |
He said once I got in his hands, |
| 01:35:40 |
...and eat it in strips like it was bacon. |
| 01:35:43 |
I'll wreck his train first. |
| 01:35:52 |
I'm sorry, Your Excellency. |
| 01:35:57 |
Jesse James is nothing more |
| 01:35:59 |
...who made his reputation |
| 01:36:02 |
...killing whoever got in his way. |
| 01:36:05 |
You'll hear some fools say he's getting back |
| 01:36:08 |
...for the wrongs his family suffered |
| 01:36:11 |
But his victims have scarcely been selected |
| 01:36:16 |
I'm saying his sins will soon find him out. |
| 01:36:19 |
I'm saying his cup of iniquity is full. |
| 01:36:22 |
I'm saying Jesse James |
| 01:36:25 |
...and may require a desperate remedy. |
| 01:36:31 |
Y'all got the right man for the job. |
| 01:36:51 |
Come on. Come on, now. |
| 01:36:54 |
Come on, now. |
| 01:37:40 |
Have you ever considered suicide? |
| 01:37:44 |
I can't say that I have. There's always |
| 01:37:51 |
Or my predicaments changed, |
| 01:37:57 |
You know all what can happen. |
| 01:38:08 |
I'll tell you one thing that's for certain. |
| 01:38:11 |
You won't mind dying |
| 01:38:19 |
You'll no more wanna go back |
| 01:38:22 |
...you'd wanna spoon up your own puke. |
| 01:38:31 |
Hey, since we're looking to rob banks... |
| 01:38:34 |
...I was wondering if we could |
| 01:38:39 |
...and sort of see if we couldn't |
| 01:38:45 |
Bob wanted to know could he ride with us |
| 01:38:56 |
A savings bank or a... |
| 01:39:00 |
A railroad. |
| 01:39:09 |
Bob isn't much more than a boy |
| 01:39:13 |
But there's about two tons |
| 01:39:16 |
And he'll stand with a shooter |
| 01:39:19 |
And he's smart too. |
| 01:39:26 |
You forget I already met the kid. |
| 01:39:30 |
Hell, he surely thinks highly of you. |
| 01:39:33 |
All of America thinks highly of me. |
| 01:39:36 |
Still, not like you got two million names |
| 01:39:40 |
...whenever you need a third man. |
| 01:39:45 |
I can see you trying to |
| 01:39:49 |
That's my main intention. |
| 01:40:00 |
Robberies would be conceived |
| 01:40:03 |
...in Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri. |
| 01:40:07 |
During this time... |
| 01:40:08 |
...Henry Craig enjoined Robert Ford to return |
| 01:40:12 |
...and await instructions |
| 01:40:16 |
All right, three cans... |
| 01:40:18 |
...peaches. Two cans... |
| 01:40:23 |
Two cans sifted peas. |
| 01:40:26 |
One bottle... |
| 01:40:31 |
...Mary's Morning Tonic, and a half... |
| 01:40:37 |
Half a sack of flour. |
| 01:40:41 |
I'll be right with you. |
| 01:40:59 |
I haven't seen any sign of him. |
| 01:41:02 |
Well, do you know where he's living? |
| 01:41:06 |
No. |
| 01:41:08 |
No? |
| 01:41:13 |
Well, I can't guess how he does it... |
| 01:41:16 |
...but he is always knowledgeable |
| 01:41:20 |
He's gonna know I've been here with you. |
| 01:41:27 |
And he will kill you if he gets the chance. |
| 01:41:34 |
Are you willing to risk that? |
| 01:41:41 |
Yes, I am. |
| 01:41:46 |
I've been a nobody all my life. |
| 01:41:49 |
I was the baby. |
| 01:41:51 |
I was the one they made promises to |
| 01:41:55 |
And ever since I can remember it, |
| 01:42:04 |
I'm prepared for this, Jim... |
| 01:42:07 |
...and I'm gonna accomplish it. |
| 01:42:09 |
I know I won't get |
| 01:42:11 |
...and you can bet your life |
| 01:42:26 |
Well... |
| 01:42:29 |
...wait for your chance. |
| 01:42:31 |
Don't let yourself be found alone with him, |
| 01:42:35 |
...let him get behind you. |
| 01:43:06 |
You been chosen. |
| 01:43:12 |
Well, what do you mean? |
| 01:43:15 |
Well, your brother said that |
| 01:43:18 |
But maybe you like this grocery store |
| 01:43:24 |
- So you missed me? |
| 01:43:27 |
I been crying myself to sleep every night. |
| 01:43:39 |
Don't let him see us so much as wink. |
| 01:43:41 |
He's suspicious as a damn coyote, |
| 01:43:46 |
- Well, I guess that makes... |
| 01:43:48 |
He already put away Ed Miller. He said so |
| 01:44:33 |
If we're ever alone for more than a minute, |
| 01:45:17 |
They gave me ten days. |
| 01:45:23 |
For what? |
| 01:45:27 |
For arresting him. |
| 01:45:35 |
You and me, huh? |
| 01:45:40 |
It's gonna happen one way or another, |
| 01:45:44 |
So it might as well be us |
| 01:45:46 |
- Bob, he's our friend. |
| 01:45:50 |
And he's gonna murder Liddil and Cummins |
| 01:45:55 |
It seems to me Jesse's riding from |
| 01:46:01 |
So your friendship could put you |
| 01:46:05 |
I'll grind it fine in my mind, Bob. I can't |
| 01:46:13 |
You'll come around. |
| 01:46:16 |
You think it's all made up, don't you? |
| 01:46:19 |
You think it's all yarns |
| 01:46:30 |
He's just a human being. |
| 01:46:40 |
From now on, you two |
| 01:46:44 |
From now on, you'll ask for my permission! |
| 01:47:45 |
Charley, take them horses |
| 01:47:50 |
- Hello, Mary. |
| 01:47:52 |
Look at this rotten parsnip |
| 01:48:05 |
You never mentioned Bob would be here. |
| 01:48:11 |
Maybe he was saving it |
| 01:48:19 |
Got two cousins for company now. |
| 01:48:31 |
How it's gonna be is... |
| 01:48:34 |
...we'll leave next Monday afternoon |
| 01:48:41 |
How far is that from Kansas City? |
| 01:48:44 |
Platte City's 30 miles south. |
| 01:48:49 |
You and me and Charley'll |
| 01:48:54 |
...and we'll strike the Wells Bank |
| 01:49:03 |
What time will that be exactly? |
| 01:49:12 |
Well, you don't need to know that. |
| 01:49:29 |
You know, I'm real comfortable |
| 01:49:33 |
Hell, he's ugly as sin, |
| 01:49:36 |
...and he's so ignorant |
| 01:49:39 |
...but he's sort of easy to be around. |
| 01:49:42 |
I can't say the same for you, Bob. |
| 01:49:49 |
Well, I'm sorry to hear you say that. |
| 01:49:53 |
You know how it is when you're |
| 01:49:57 |
...and you know she wants to be kissed, |
| 01:50:05 |
Yeah. |
| 01:50:09 |
Well, you're giving me signs |
| 01:50:13 |
...and make me wonder... |
| 01:50:16 |
...maybe your mind's |
| 01:50:18 |
Well, what do you want me to do? |
| 01:50:39 |
You two having a spat? |
| 01:50:46 |
I was getting ready to be angry. |
| 01:50:54 |
Sit over here closer, kid. |
| 01:50:59 |
Come on. |
| 01:51:11 |
Charley, you'll stay with the animals. |
| 01:51:14 |
Me and the kid... |
| 01:51:16 |
...will walk into that bank |
| 01:51:22 |
Bob will move that cashier... |
| 01:51:25 |
...away from the shotgun |
| 01:51:29 |
...and I'll creep up behind that cashier... |
| 01:51:32 |
...and I'll cock his head back like so. |
| 01:51:34 |
And I'll say: |
| 01:51:36 |
"How come an off-scouring |
| 01:51:39 |
...when so many of mine |
| 01:51:41 |
"How did you get to reach 20 |
| 01:51:45 |
And if I don't like his attitude, |
| 01:51:49 |
...he will flop on the floor like a fish. |
| 01:51:56 |
My God, what just happened? |
| 01:52:07 |
Boy, I could hear your gears grinding... |
| 01:52:11 |
...hear your little motor wondering, |
| 01:52:15 |
What's happening to me?" |
| 01:52:18 |
You were precious to behold, Bob. |
| 01:52:20 |
You were white as spit in a cotton field. |
| 01:52:23 |
You got him. You got him. |
| 01:52:27 |
You wanna know how that feels? |
| 01:52:37 |
The old Charley looked stricken! |
| 01:52:40 |
I was. I was. |
| 01:52:42 |
"This is plumb unexpected," old Charley |
| 01:52:55 |
Hell. Hell. |
| 01:53:27 |
Jesse slept with Bob |
| 01:53:32 |
And Bob remained awake. |
| 01:53:38 |
He could see that there was a gun |
| 01:53:42 |
He could imagine its cold nickel |
| 01:53:47 |
...its two-pound weight |
| 01:54:21 |
I need to go to the privy. |
| 01:54:25 |
You think you do, but you don't. |
| 01:54:51 |
You wait for grace, now. |
| 01:54:54 |
- Thank you, Mama. |
| 01:54:58 |
- Thank you, Zee. |
| 01:55:00 |
Well, is this fit to eat or will it just do? |
| 01:55:06 |
Woman's cooking's |
| 01:55:08 |
Cut her meat and the whole table moves. |
| 01:55:11 |
You want a biscuit? |
| 01:55:14 |
Here's some butter. |
| 01:55:19 |
Oh, shoot. |
| 01:55:21 |
And so it went, |
| 01:55:25 |
...merry, moody, fey... |
| 01:55:29 |
...unpredictable. |
| 01:55:32 |
He camouflaged his depressions |
| 01:55:36 |
...with masquerades |
| 01:55:40 |
...and goodwill towards others. |
| 01:55:44 |
But even as he jested, |
| 01:55:48 |
...Jesse would look over at Bob |
| 01:55:52 |
...as if the two were meshed |
| 01:55:59 |
Bob was certain that the man |
| 01:56:01 |
...had seen through his reasons |
| 01:56:04 |
...that Jesse could forecast each of |
| 01:56:08 |
...and was only acting the innocent... |
| 01:56:10 |
...in order to lull Bob |
| 01:56:37 |
How long you been studying me? |
| 01:56:41 |
You're gonna break a lot of hearts. |
| 01:56:52 |
How do you mean? |
| 01:57:02 |
It's a present. |
| 01:57:09 |
It's heavy. |
| 01:57:11 |
Well, you gonna look inside? |
| 01:57:14 |
It's April Fools' Day, you know. |
| 01:57:17 |
It ain't no joke. |
| 01:57:26 |
Oh, such extravagance. |
| 01:57:29 |
Don't that nickel just shine, though? |
| 01:57:32 |
It's more than I could hope for. |
| 01:57:34 |
I figured that granddaddy Colt |
| 01:57:37 |
...next time you try |
| 01:57:40 |
Well, you might have something there. |
| 01:57:43 |
Tom, supper's ready. |
| 01:57:47 |
I'll be right there, sweetheart. |
| 01:57:49 |
I might be too excited to eat. |
| 01:57:54 |
You know what John Newman Edwards |
| 01:57:58 |
He said I didn't trust |
| 01:58:01 |
...and even them I was cautious around. |
| 01:58:04 |
Government's sort of run me ragged. |
| 01:58:08 |
I'm going the long way around the barn |
| 01:58:11 |
...I been feeling cornered |
| 01:58:16 |
...and I'd be pleased if you'd accept |
| 01:58:23 |
Heaven knows I'd be ornerier |
| 01:58:26 |
No. No, I haven't been acting correctly. |
| 01:58:31 |
Seems I hardly recognize myself |
| 01:58:37 |
I go on journeys out of my body... |
| 01:58:40 |
...and look at my red hands |
| 01:58:45 |
...and I wonder about that man |
| 01:58:52 |
I've been becoming a problem to myself. |
| 01:59:08 |
Well... |
| 01:59:16 |
- I better wash my hands if supper's on. |
| 01:59:34 |
The day before he died was Palm Sunday. |
| 01:59:38 |
And Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Howard, |
| 01:59:42 |
...and their cousin Charles Johnson... |
| 01:59:44 |
...strolled to the Second Presbyterian |
| 01:59:51 |
Bob remained at the cottage... |
| 01:59:54 |
...and slyly migrated from room to room. |
| 02:00:00 |
He walked into the master bedroom... |
| 02:00:02 |
...and inventoried the clothes |
| 02:00:12 |
He sipped from the water glass |
| 02:00:18 |
He smelled the talcum and lilacs |
| 02:00:30 |
His fingers skittered over his ribs... |
| 02:00:32 |
...to construe the scars |
| 02:00:40 |
He manufactured a middle finger |
| 02:00:52 |
He imagined himself at 34. |
| 02:00:57 |
He imagined himself in a coffin. |
| 02:01:02 |
He considered possibilities... |
| 02:01:04 |
...and everything wonderful |
| 02:01:35 |
He's not gonna kill us. |
| 02:01:42 |
Yeah, he is. |
| 02:01:47 |
Well, I'll stay awake so he can't. |
| 02:02:02 |
You're imagining things. |
| 02:02:17 |
Ain't gonna be no Platte City. |
| 02:02:21 |
That's Jesse fooling with us. |
| 02:02:40 |
Go to sleep, Charley. |
| 02:03:16 |
Morning. |
| 02:03:21 |
Charley. |
| 02:03:52 |
Bob, how much did you want to eat? |
| 02:03:59 |
I'm feeling sort of peculiar. |
| 02:04:21 |
Why is it you're looking so interested? |
| 02:04:25 |
You think it's intelligent |
| 02:04:28 |
...so all creation can see your guns? |
| 02:04:48 |
Hi. |
| 02:04:59 |
Come on, let's go see |
| 02:05:03 |
Timmy, get that door, would you? |
| 02:05:10 |
- Well, you lost your shoe, sweetheart. |
| 02:05:13 |
That's gonna be a problem. |
| 02:05:19 |
We lost a shoe, Mama. |
| 02:05:22 |
Will you put that up for Daddy, |
| 02:05:28 |
- What you doing, you lose a shoe? |
| 02:05:47 |
It's only meant to go on top, |
| 02:05:51 |
Yeah, I know. Sometimes, I... |
| 02:06:18 |
Bob, everything's getting cold! |
| 02:06:21 |
- Where's Mary? |
| 02:06:26 |
Mary? |
| 02:06:31 |
What do you think goes on |
| 02:06:37 |
Nothing. |
| 02:06:39 |
I was talking about his mind, not yours. |
| 02:06:43 |
Oh, yeah. |
| 02:06:45 |
Oh, I get it. |
| 02:07:42 |
Well, hello now. |
| 02:07:44 |
"The arrest and confession |
| 02:07:53 |
You don't say so. |
| 02:08:09 |
That's very strange. |
| 02:08:12 |
Says here Dick surrendered |
| 02:08:15 |
You must have been |
| 02:08:18 |
Well, apparently, they kept it a secret. |
| 02:08:32 |
If I get to Kansas City soon, |
| 02:09:16 |
You two ready? |
| 02:09:21 |
I will be, by noon. |
| 02:09:56 |
There is a ship |
| 02:09:59 |
She's loaded deep |
| 02:10:02 |
But not as deep |
| 02:10:05 |
I know not if I sink or swim |
| 02:10:10 |
The water is wide |
| 02:10:13 |
I can't cross o'er |
| 02:10:20 |
Give me a boat |
| 02:10:24 |
Both shall row |
| 02:10:27 |
For love is gentle |
| 02:10:30 |
Sweetest flower |
| 02:10:33 |
But love grows old |
| 02:10:37 |
And fades away |
| 02:10:41 |
There is a ship |
| 02:10:44 |
I guess I'll take my guns off... |
| 02:10:47 |
...for fear the neighbors might spy them. |
| 02:11:22 |
Don't that picture look dusty? |
| 02:13:07 |
What have...? What have you done? |
| 02:13:12 |
Jesse. |
| 02:13:19 |
Jesse? |
| 02:13:22 |
Jesse? Jesse? |
| 02:13:24 |
Jesse! |
| 02:13:27 |
No! |
| 02:13:34 |
No. Jess... |
| 02:13:36 |
Come back. Oh, come back. |
| 02:13:43 |
Oh, Jesse! No! |
| 02:13:48 |
Oh, Bob. Have you done this?! |
| 02:13:52 |
I swear to God I didn't. |
| 02:13:55 |
It was an accident, Zee. |
| 02:13:59 |
Come on. Pistol went off accidentally. |
| 02:14:47 |
Put my name. |
| 02:14:49 |
Why, what'd you do? I shot him. |
| 02:14:59 |
You might wanna keep that. |
| 02:15:39 |
Thank you all very much. |
| 02:15:49 |
The resulting prints |
| 02:15:51 |
...and were the models for the lithographed |
| 02:16:02 |
Soon a thousand strangers were making |
| 02:16:07 |
...or were venerating the iced remains |
| 02:16:13 |
The man who offered 30,000 dollars for |
| 02:16:17 |
...sent a telegram to City Marshal |
| 02:16:21 |
...for the body |
| 02:16:24 |
...so that he could go around the country |
| 02:16:29 |
...or at least sell it to P.T. Barnum |
| 02:16:38 |
Another photograph was taken |
| 02:16:41 |
...nestled in his bed of ice. |
| 02:16:44 |
And it was this shot that was most |
| 02:16:48 |
...to be viewed in a stereoscope |
| 02:16:52 |
...the Taj Mahal, |
| 02:17:22 |
Hello, here! |
| 02:17:24 |
"The arrest and confession |
| 02:17:26 |
Young man, I thought you told me |
| 02:17:32 |
You mean he did? I didn't know. |
| 02:17:37 |
But I knew I had not fooled him. |
| 02:17:39 |
And he knew, as well as I, in that moment |
| 02:17:43 |
But he would not kill me |
| 02:17:47 |
And so he was smiling |
| 02:17:54 |
Well, it's all right, anyway, Bob. |
| 02:17:58 |
It was widely felt that |
| 02:18:01 |
...and Charley, not a jot. |
| 02:18:04 |
That picture's awful dusty. |
| 02:18:07 |
Charley was only expected |
| 02:18:11 |
...and to transport his sicknesses |
| 02:18:45 |
And that's... |
| 02:18:47 |
...how I killed Jesse James. |
| 02:18:53 |
By October of 1883, Bob Ford |
| 02:18:57 |
...by more citizens than could |
| 02:19:02 |
He was as renowned at 20 as Jesse was |
| 02:19:07 |
You won't get your hooks into me. |
| 02:19:10 |
That's right. That's right. |
| 02:19:14 |
Charley was increasingly superstitious... |
| 02:19:17 |
...increasingly subject |
| 02:19:20 |
...who promised to cure his miseries |
| 02:19:24 |
You been spending too much time |
| 02:19:33 |
Shit. |
| 02:19:39 |
The picture's awful dusty. |
| 02:19:42 |
Something began to change |
| 02:19:46 |
His gait seemed more practiced. |
| 02:19:48 |
His voice was spookily similar |
| 02:19:52 |
His newly suggested dialogue |
| 02:19:54 |
...to a script Jesse might have originated. |
| 02:20:00 |
He began to look at his younger brother |
| 02:20:03 |
...as if he suspected that |
| 02:20:06 |
...he might present himself |
| 02:20:11 |
Murderer! |
| 02:20:14 |
Cur! |
| 02:20:16 |
Coward! |
| 02:20:21 |
You wanna investigate my courage? |
| 02:20:26 |
Find out! Find out! |
| 02:20:35 |
Nobody. |
| 02:20:51 |
Coward! |
| 02:21:18 |
By his own approximation, Bob |
| 02:21:24 |
He suspected no one in history |
| 02:21:28 |
...recapitulated an act of betrayal. |
| 02:21:36 |
Bob always challenged |
| 02:21:39 |
...but Charley seemed |
| 02:21:42 |
He spoke of Mrs. Zee James |
| 02:21:46 |
...and composed long soul-describing letters |
| 02:21:49 |
...begging her forgiveness... |
| 02:21:53 |
...none of which he mailed. |
| 02:22:23 |
Charley Ford became all that his countrymen |
| 02:22:33 |
Jesse James was a man |
| 02:22:40 |
He robbed the Glendale train |
| 02:22:45 |
And he stole from the rich |
| 02:22:51 |
He had a hand |
| 02:22:57 |
Well, Jesse had a wife |
| 02:23:03 |
Three children |
| 02:23:08 |
But that dirty little coward |
| 02:23:14 |
Has laid Jesse James in his grave |
| 02:23:20 |
It was Robert Ford |
| 02:23:26 |
I wonder how does he feel |
| 02:23:30 |
For he ate at Jesse's bread |
| 02:23:36 |
And he laid poor Jesse in his grave |
| 02:23:41 |
Well, Jesse had a wife |
| 02:23:47 |
Three children |
| 02:23:52 |
But that dirty little coward |
| 02:23:58 |
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave |
| 02:24:14 |
I'm Robert Ford. |
| 02:24:27 |
It was two children, not three. |
| 02:24:42 |
Hey. |
| 02:24:44 |
You get yourself home, son, okay? |
| 02:24:47 |
Come on. Get out of here. |
| 02:25:23 |
He thought, at his angriest... |
| 02:25:25 |
...about visiting the kin |
| 02:25:31 |
Mrs. William Westfall in Plattsburg... |
| 02:25:37 |
...the Wymore family in Clay County... |
| 02:25:45 |
...perhaps even Mrs. Joseph Heywood |
| 02:25:52 |
He would go to their homes |
| 02:25:56 |
...the man who killed Jesse James. |
| 02:26:00 |
He imagined they would |
| 02:26:54 |
It was only with Dorothy Evans |
| 02:26:59 |
...and it was with her that he spoke of |
| 02:27:25 |
He told her that he had no real memory |
| 02:27:30 |
He could remember lifting the gun |
| 02:27:34 |
...and then it was Good Friday and he was |
| 02:27:38 |
...as if they'd happened a long time ago. |
| 02:27:42 |
Why did you kill him? |
| 02:27:49 |
Well, he was gonna kill me. |
| 02:27:56 |
So you were scared |
| 02:28:02 |
Yeah. |
| 02:28:04 |
And the reward money. |
| 02:28:12 |
Do you want me to change the subject? |
| 02:28:23 |
You know what I expected? |
| 02:28:26 |
Applause. |
| 02:28:31 |
I was only 20 years old then. |
| 02:28:39 |
I was surprised by what happened. |
| 02:28:43 |
They didn't applaud. |
| 02:28:48 |
He was ashamed of his boasting... |
| 02:28:50 |
...his pretensions of courage |
| 02:28:53 |
He was sorry about his cold-bloodedness, |
| 02:28:59 |
...his inability to express |
| 02:29:06 |
That he truly regretted killing Jesse... |
| 02:29:10 |
...that he missed the man |
| 02:29:13 |
...and wished his murder |
| 02:29:36 |
Even as he circulated his saloon... |
| 02:29:38 |
...he knew that the smiles disappeared |
| 02:29:43 |
He received so many menacing letters... |
| 02:29:45 |
...that he could read them |
| 02:29:52 |
He kept to his apartment all day, |
| 02:29:58 |
...looking at his destiny |
| 02:30:07 |
Edward O'Kelly came up from Bachelor |
| 02:30:13 |
He had no grand scheme, no strategy... |
| 02:30:17 |
...no agreement with higher authorities... |
| 02:30:20 |
...nothing beyond |
| 02:30:23 |
...and a generalized wish |
| 02:30:35 |
- How'd it go last night? |
| 02:30:42 |
The other one. |
| 02:30:46 |
Edward O'Kelly would be ordered |
| 02:30:49 |
...in the Colorado Penitentiary |
| 02:30:52 |
Over 7000 signatures |
| 02:30:55 |
...on a petition asking for |
| 02:30:57 |
...and in 1902, Governor James B. Orman |
| 02:31:03 |
You shouldn't be wearing that stickpin |
| 02:31:09 |
My luck's not very good as it is. I don't |
| 02:31:14 |
I hear you. |
| 02:31:29 |
There would be no eulogies for Bob... |
| 02:31:32 |
...no photographs of his body |
| 02:31:37 |
...no people would crowd the streets |
| 02:31:43 |
...no biographies would be written |
| 02:31:46 |
...no children named after him. |
| 02:31:51 |
No one would ever pay 25 cents |
| 02:32:00 |
Hello, Bob. |
| 02:32:03 |
The shotgun would ignite, |
| 02:32:08 |
...but Robert Ford would only lay |
| 02:32:12 |
...the light going out of his eyes... |
| 02:32:15 |
...before he could find the right words. |
