:46:00
Langford is the high
mucky-muck on the railway.
:46:03
Heard a lot about you, Senator.
Glad to make your acquaintance.
:46:05
Can't say the same,
thank you kindly.
:46:08
You better tell those
hired thieves of yours...
:46:10
to pick up their tools...
:46:12
and fast, if you know
what's good for you.
:46:15
We have the law on our side.
:46:16
lf you had come into court
when l asked you to...
:46:18
this land might not have been--
:46:20
Never mind
that fancy legal talk.
:46:23
There's my law right there.
:46:30
Have you a copy
of the writ with you, Smoot?
:46:32
What's the sense of--
:46:34
All right. Are you our lawyer,
or aren't you?
:46:35
-Now read it to him.
-Save your breath.
:46:38
''From the people of
the sovereign state of Texas...
:46:41
''to Jackson Tilt McCanles,
greetings.''
:46:43
''Greetings.'' Ain't that nice?
:46:45
Jackson.
:46:47
You and l fought to build
this state of Texas...
:46:49
and l aim to see these men
perform their duties...
:46:51
peacefully and as authorized.
:46:53
ls that so?
:46:55
l'm gonna shoot any trespasser
that comes on my property.
:46:59
lf you don't like that,
you can lump it...
:47:02
you and the state of Texas.
:47:04
Just a minute.
May l speak to you privately?
:47:06
Say what you got to say
right here and now.
:47:10
l'm sorry, father...
:47:11
but l'm afraid
you're in the wrong.
:47:13
l ain't aiming
to let you settle that.
:47:15
You mean to shoot down
unarmed men?
:47:17
Just like they was rattlesnakes
if they cross this line.
:47:21
ln that case, Senator...
:47:30
Get me a pair of wire cutters.
:47:32
Ferguson.
:47:33
So that's where you stand.
:47:36
Think l'd rather be
on the side...
:47:37
of the victims
than of the murderers.
:47:43
Jesse, l'm warning you.
:47:45
We're going to fire
on those coolies...
:47:47
the moment you cut those wires.
:47:51
Their blood will be
on your hands.
