Mr. Thaddeus Rains, sir.
:22:21
-It's a pleasure to have you.
-I'm pleased to be here.
:22:24
-Really?
-No, Parker, no!
:22:25
I'm really not pleased to come
to this godforsaken piece of dirt. . .
:22:30
. . .to discover why you can't evict
a few simple farmers. . .
:22:33
. . .from their pathetic mudholes. . .
:22:35
. . .so I can build the greatest
railroad ever.
:22:38
-I understand your distress, sir.
-What's going on?
:22:43
Two weeks ago, we arranged to have
the Army hang a local farmer.
:22:47
-That's good.
-Unfortunately not, sir.
:22:49
A group of local thugs
managed to rescue him. . .
:22:52
. . .inspiring resistance. And Mr.
Allan Pinkerton was seriously injured.
:22:57
Leaving you in charge of operations
until he should return.
:23:01
A further impediment is that
the garrison's moving on. . .
:23:05
. . .so we don't have that stick
to threaten them with.
:23:08
You see that as the loss of a tool.
:23:10
I see a power vacuum to fill.
As we have the most power. . .
:23:13
. . .we may move with impunity.
:23:16
I see, sir.
:23:19
I'll get four patrols together
for action tonight.
:23:22
They'll see what happens. . .
:23:23
. . .when they challenge
the righteousness of progress.
:23:27
Yes, sir.
:23:29
-You shouldn't be up.
-It's been two weeks. I'm sick of it.
:23:33
-You're sick of my company?
-Of course not!
:23:36
-Teasing you is unfair.
-What you do to me is unfair.
:23:40
-Well, I shouldn't tease a hero.
-What?
:23:43
Everybody in the county knows
you rescued Cole.
:23:46
We're all so proud of you.
:23:47
And not one farm's been sold since.
:23:50
Well, that's good, but I wasn't
the only person. . .
:23:53
. . .risking my neck that day.
:23:55
You're saying I should spend time
with Cole Younger?
:23:58
With Cole Younger?
No, I never said that.
