[93][108]Is Miss Cahill there yet?
[112][127]No, sir. No, sir, she isn't here.
[129][148]Let me ask you something, sir.
[149][172]Are you the same fella|that's been calling in here
[174][187]about every 15 minutes for her?
[192][216]Well, she still ain't here. No, sir.
[217][240]Wait a minute. You're in luck.|She just came in.
[259][273]How was the show tonight?
[275][290]It was brilliant.
[292][307]Some yahoo's on the phone here.
[309][327]He won't leave his name or number.
[329][341]How did he know I was here?
[342][375]Well, your secretary said|you'd be here after the stage play.
[408][426]How come you didn't|take her to the play?
[442][454]I don't know, C.D.
[455][496]There's something about watching two|guys battling each other with swords
[498][523]and then bursting into a song.|I don't know.
[531][544]And wearing long-handled drawers.
[546][558]Yeah, that too.
[563][575]Name's Hank Sweet.
[577][597]Thelma Beck told me to call you.|We's good friends.
[599][613]She said you'd help.
[615][633]Thelma? How is she?
[637][649]I have no time for that now.
[651][669]I got something important|I wanna give you.
[671][712]I'll meet you outside that|waterspout building on Field Street.
[714][727]How soon can you get here?
[735][747]About half an hour.
[749][782]Sooner if you can. Please, lady.
[790][807]I gotta go now.
[831][849]What was that all about?
[863][880]A friend of a friend, I think.
[882][899]It sounded like he was in trouble.
[904][917]Feel like taking a ride?
[929][939]Let's go.
[1228][1243]See anyone?
[1245][1276]Well, it'd be a lot easier|if I knew who we were looking for.
[1344][1361]What's going on over there?
[2019][2061]You gotta save the horses.
[2159][2177]Hank Sweet.
[2184][2203]You found your man.
[3040][3068]You know, I was thinking.
[3069][3110]All I could see were pictures of horses|and that tape.
[3112][3128]Audio tape?
[3129][3143]I think so.
[3144][3164]It all happened so fast.
[3166][3189]Well, one thing we know for sure,
[3191][3224]whatever's going down|involves horses.
[3232][3258]Did he mention anything|on the phone?
[3266][3301]Just to have Thelma Beck call me,|that's it.
[3309][3329]Thelma Beck.
[3338][3350]That name sounds familiar.
[3352][3364]You remember her.
[3369][3389]She was all over the news|a couple of years ago.
[3390][3407]They call her the Mustang Lady.
[3408][3438]Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember her.
[3460][3473]More coffee?
[3481][3499]No, I should go.
[3501][3546]I could whip us up some eggs|or whatever.
[3548][3571]No, I gotta go.
[3577][3593]You're sure?
[3604][3624]I'd better go.
[3662][3673]Don't forget your gun.
[3692][3704]What?
[3728][3760]Oh, yeah, yeah.
[3867][3892]Hank didn't have no family.
[3894][3934]I'll take care of the burying|and saying the words.
[3967][3984]Darn fool.
[3985][4005]Always worried about|me getting myself killed
[4006][4024]and now look at him.
[4026][4040]Dead and gone.
[4054][4076]Do you have any idea|who could have done this?
[4078][4106]No, he didn't have no enemies.
[4115][4130]Everyone liked old Hank.
[4136][4153]And he didn't mention|the envelope to you?
[4193][4213]Thelma, why did you|have him call me?
[4215][4248]He came over to my place yesterday,|all agitated.
[4250][4277]Said he was onto|something real terrible.
[4278][4293]He knew I had connections
[4294][4325]because of my protesting|for the mustangs.
[4327][4355]I asked him what it was about,|he wouldn't tell me.
[4373][4384]Do you know why not?
[4385][4412]He didn't want me|to get mixed up in it.
[4414][4425]Hank said knowing me,
[4427][4464]I'd just go off half-cocked|and get myself hurt\.
[4466][4484]"Better to go the legal way," he said.
[4488][4502]Through Alex.
[4504][4538]Alex did all the work for|my Save the Mustangs Committee.
[4546][4571]I know she cares about this.
[4578][4604]I knew she'd do right by old Hank.
[4632][4654]Let me get out of here.
[4658][4681]This place makes my skin crawl.
[4797][4825]Hank Sweet must have been|onto something really import\ant
[4826][4851]to get himself killed over it.
[4853][4883]Maybe someone was thinking|we all went to sleep or something
[4885][4915]and they're gonna have another go|at the mustangs.
[4917][4936]Hank was trying to stop it.
[4941][4973]We'll find out who did it, Thelma.|That's a promise.
[4974][4986]I just hope you find them
[4988][5014]before they hurt\ those horses|Hank was worried about.
[5018][5038]We'll do our best, Thelma.
[5039][5059]I hope that's good enough,|Mr. Ranger.
[5146][5160]Do you have any idea|what Hank Sweet
[5161][5186]could have been involved in|to get himself killed over?
[5203][5236]No. I wish I could be more help.
[5238][5258]I was sure sorry|to hear about old Hank.
[5260][5287]He was one good man.
[5288][5314]He was working with a Thelma Beck.|Do you know who she is?
[5316][5361]Oh, I know Thelma Beck|like I know my own art\hritis.
[5368][5386]Still, you can't help admire her
[5388][5416]and that Save the Wild Mustang|gang of hers.
[5418][5442]You know, about 95 percent|of all the wild mustangs
[5443][5467]are still running up here|on the federal lease lands.
[5469][5480]Under your protection?
[5482][5519]Oh, yes, sir, and we enforce it too,|right to the letter.
[5524][5538]What about the other five percent?
[5542][5557]Well, now the only herd I know of
[5559][5584]still running on private land|is the Santana bunch.
[5589][5618]Now don't ask me who named|a nightmare stallion that,
[5619][5633]but that's what we all call him.
[5634][5664]Yeah, Santana.|I've heard stories about that stallion.
[5668][5705]Yeah, and they're true,|and then some.
[5707][5740]Now he's out running around with|two or maybe three dozen mares,
[5742][5770]between the federal lease land|and the Circle Bar T Ranch.
[5772][5797]Do you have any idea where|Hank Sweet's ranch is located?
[5816][5828]Right over here.
[5855][5891]Oh, yes, sir, he's got about 200 acres|of old flat scrub brush land
[5893][5914]right along in here.
[5931][5959]- Right next to the Travis ranch.|- Yeah.
[5960][5979]Okay, thanks.
[6217][6228]Quite a ranch.
[6486][6510]Man, will you look at this?
[6515][6548]What did you expect in the middle|of 5000 acres, a shack?
[6550][6570]I'm telling you,|we're wasting our time.
[6572][6588]These guys own the world.
[6590][6620]What are they gonna gain|by knocking off a few stallion?
[6622][6646]I don't know. Let's go ask them.
[6681][6695]Can I help you gents?
[6696][6734]Yeah, I'm Ranger Walker,|this is Ranger Trivette.
[6745][6762]We'd like to talk to|the owner of this spread.
[6770][6789]I'm Mitch Travis.|What can I do for you?
[6791][6807]Travis.
[6815][6826]You own this place?
[6830][6845]Yes, sir, me and my brother.
[6850][6869]Do you know a man|named Hank Sweet?
[6874][6888]Hank? Sure, he's our neighbor.
[6890][6913]Well, he was killed last night.|Murdered.
[6927][6944]Murdered?
[6956][6972]Oh, dear God.
[6974][6994]He was concerned about|someone hurt\ing some horses.
[6996][7024]- Do you know anything about that?|- No. What horses?
[7026][7043]Possibly the Santana bunch.
[7045][7070]They roam between the lease land|and your propert\y, right?
[7072][7096]Yes, sir, that's right. They do.
[7103][7123]You complained about them|to the BLM, didn't you?
[7128][7145]Yes, sir.
[7149][7172]Those mustangs can be|a real pain in the butt,
[7174][7201]especially in the winter when our cattle|are up to their bellies in snow
[7203][7218]and we gotta drop feed in.
[7220][7238]Well, that darn Santana,
[7240][7277]he drives them away from the hay|so he can get his own mares to it.
[7278][7302]We thought about shooting|that old son of a gun
[7303][7334]but my dad would roll over in his grave|if we ever did something like that.
[7341][7370]So you don't think Hank Sweet was|concerned about the Santana bunch?
[7381][7398]I don't know why he would be.
[7402][7424]Think he was onto any|renegade meatpackers?
[7426][7438]Not that I know of, sir, no.
[7472][7488]Okay, thanks for your time.
[7493][7509]No problem.
[7542][7559]What's a renegade meatpacker?
[7561][7588]Well, these are guys that|come in these refrigerated trucks
[7589][7608]with machine guns and chain saws.
[7610][7624]They hit quick and get out.
[7626][7657]- You're kidding.|- I wish I was.
[7690][7707]Mitch.
[7754][7786]- What did they want?|- Hank Sweet is dead. Murdered.
[7793][7812]That's too bad.
[7818][7834]Hank was a good guy.
[7844][7864]I sure hope we had|nothing to do with that.
[7871][7888]Of course we didn't.
[7894][7908]What kind of thing is that to say?
[7910][7930]They were asking questions|about Santana's herd.
[7932][7946]I think we ought to back off.
[7947][7973]All that means is that|we have to move a little faster.
[7974][7996]Call the packers and|get the shooters here this afternoon.
[7998][8016]This is wrong, Ned,|when I think about how Dad
[8018][8035]would probably respond|to something like this.
[8042][8064]Dad is dead, Mitch.
[8066][8084]It's time you face that fact.
[8121][8134]These are different times.
[8157][8176]Well, I hate this.
[8194][8216]Now we got Rangers around here|asking questions?
[8218][8233]I don't like it, either.
[8243][8254]But Rangers or not,
[8256][8281]there's no way I'm gonna let|$800 wort\h of dog-meat mustang
[8283][8299]blow a $20 million deal.
[8522][8536]I'm gonna drop you off at the office.
[8538][8555]See what you can dig up|on the Travis boys
[8557][8577]and the Circle T Ranch.
[8579][8600]I still think we're|baying at the moon, part\ner.
[8608][8629]Wouldn't be the first time.
[8630][8666]You know, when we were talking|to that young Travis boy,
[8667][8683]he seemed sincerely surprised
[8685][8714]when we mentioned about|the death of old man Sweet.
[8721][8752]But when we start\ed|talking about the mustangs,
[8753][8772]there was something in his eyes.
[8780][8797]Like what?
[8803][8820]I'm not sure,
[8822][8834]but there was someone watching us
[8836][8859]behind the curt\ains|in the ranch house.
[8871][8917]Why don't you get with Alex, fill her in,|see what you guys can come up with.
[8925][8954]All right. Where you gonna be at?
[8956][8977]Just noseying around.
[9141][9159]Gotta give Dr. Rossi credit.
[9161][9187]This new feed's sending|them out even fatter.
[9189][9221]Call me when he can|fatten prices at market.
[9416][9434]I'm nervous about that|kid brother of yours, Ned.
[9436][9453]He doesn't seem to be|quite with this program.
[9455][9472]Mitch will be fine.|What are you doing here?
[9473][9488]You seemed uptight on the phone.
[9489][9507]After what happened|to Hank Sweet?
[9508][9532]Yeah, I'm a little uptight.|What do you want?
[9534][9555]Just to give you|a little peace of mind.
[9557][9576]You know, I was thinking,|you had a point worrying
[9577][9609]if Hank Sweet had anything more|to show that lady D.A.
[9610][9628]Well, if he did, it'd be at his place.
[9630][9675]I mean, Hank wasn't exactly|your safe-deposit-box kind of guy.
[9696][9728]So there's gonna be a little fire|out that way in maybe a half hour.
[9730][9744]I don't wanna hear this, Corbin.
[9746][9771]Okay, okay, your hands are clean.
[9773][9801]For what you're paying,|I'm the invisible man.
[10196][10207]Hi there, old girl.
[10209][10224]How are you, huh?
[10226][10247]Are you waiting for your master?
[10253][10274]Well, you gotta be hungry.
[10280][10319]Come on, let's see what we can|find you to eat, okay? Come on.
[10515][10531]Okay, girl, I haven't forgotten.
[10533][10552]Let's get you fed.
[10759][10779]Well, no sense|letting this go to waste.
[10856][10874]It beats dog food, doesn't it, huh?
[10876][10897]You happy? Yeah.
[11292][11304]Yeah, I hear them.
[11428][11452]It's that damned Ranger again.
[12367][12397]So why is it every time|you invite me to lunch
[12398][12425]I end up telling you|things I shouldn't, huh?
[12426][12448]Because I take you|to the nicest places,
[12453][12465]and I pick up the check.
[12467][12481]Well, that's fair then.
[12493][12510]I've tried every source that I know
[12512][12534]and I'm getting stonewalled|at every turn.
[12560][12595]So this is probably where I have to say|everything's off the record.
[12601][12618]Probably.
[12639][12650]Go on.
[12652][12675]I've been looking into|some big land deals
[12677][12727]and I came across a proposed|interstate spur known as l-76A,
[12732][12753]except nobody will admit|that it exists.
[12760][12792]Come on, you're a member of the|Planning Commission. What gives?
[12794][12809]Where did you hear about this?
[12811][12829]Sources.
[12839][12858]For l-76 to go through,
[12860][12888]there would have to be a right of way|through Circle Bar T Ranch.
[12900][12912]Right.
[12914][12938]Well, that would be a disaster|for the cattle ranch.
[12940][12967]I mean, it's the last thing|that they'd want.
[12969][12993]But if they propose|to develop that land...
[12995][13021]Right again.|The value would skyrocket.
[13023][13042]Don't dance with me on this, Kyle.
[13043][13069]I think this highway|is tied up in a murder.
[13631][13647]Corbin, we can't kill a Ranger.
[13651][13669]Can you do life without possibility?
[13671][13683]Man, let's just keep on going.
[13685][13707]Corbin's right. I've done time|and I'm not doing more.
[13709][13722]This is crazy.
[14171][14185]Hey, I'm hurt\. I'm hurt\.
[14187][14211]You're okay. Just a crease.
[14213][14236]You're under arrest|for the murder of Hank Sweet.
[14237][14267]- I didn't kill Sweet.|- Then who did?
[14272][14306]- I can't tell you.|- Then you're going down for it.
[14308][14326]Okay, okay.
[14332][14357]- Corbin killed him.|- Keep talking.
[14385][14402]They're gonna kill all the mustangs.
[14404][14422]This afternoon|it's supposed to go down.
[14471][14486]You got him!
[14541][14564]Let's just get the hell out of here.
[15257][15286]If he's not dead, he's gonna be|fighting off buzzards until he is.
[16216][16244]It's gonna be a long walk back.
[16475][16500]Well, you must be Santana.
[16536][16567]Well, your mares have gotta be|somewhere real close, huh?
[16596][16620]I hope you don't mind|me borrowing one.
[17174][17190]Oh, hell.
[17348][17367]Hey, counselor.
[17378][17406]I just got a look at the Travis brothers'|father's will in probate.
[17408][17429]- Yeah?|- There's a provision there that states
[17430][17446]that they can't sell|or develop that ranch
[17448][17479]as long as those Santana horses|are running free.
[17485][17518]If the brothers wanna sell the ranch,|they have to get rid of the mustangs.
[17520][17552]Right, see, but I can't figure out|why they would wanna sell that ranch.
[17554][17564]Money.
[17566][17586]No, no, they got lots of money.
[17590][17610]I'm talking serious money.
[17612][17628]One of the state's biggest builders
[17629][17657]has proposed a huge development|on the Travis ranch.
[17662][17697]Now, ironically, as soon as|they can kill off the mustangs
[17699][17714]they're gonna call it Mustang Valley.
[17730][17751]I'm heading over to|the County Clerk's office right now
[17752][17769]to see how far they've gotten.|Wanna join me?
[17771][17786]No, no, I gotta find Walker.
[17787][17800]I can't raise him on the radio.
[17802][17817]Walker can take care of himself.
[17934][17949]Easy, boy.
[18054][18073]Ranger!
[18088][18109]Thelma Beck.
[18158][18171]Look here.
[18172][18195]I was remembering old Hank's dog|and I went out to his place.
[18197][18212]More tapes. I played them.
[18214][18244]They're fixing to kill off Santana|and his bunch, those Travis boys.
[18250][18264]Well, that's what we were thinking.
[18266][18296]You didn't happen to run into Walker|nosing around out there, did you?
[18298][18320]No, just old Hank's dog|and a T-bone laying on the floor.
[18321][18343]- Somebody fed him.|- That's Walker.
[18345][18369]We're gonna have to have another talk|with those Travis brothers.
[18371][18383]He probably went back there.
[18384][18406]I'm for sure gonna talk|to those Travis boys.
[18407][18419]Come on, hop in. Let's go.
[18421][18443]No, Thelma, that's...|That's not a good idea.
[18449][18474]- You can come with me.|- Wait, hold it, Thelma, look...
[18475][18506]Or you can... All right, fine.|Then we'll just go.
[18507][18524]Okay, I got the badge.|I'll do the talking.
[18618][18634]Thattaboy.
[18671][18711]Easy, boy. Easy, easy.
[18713][18729]Okay.
[18736][18771]Now, we're not gonna have time|to cultivate a friendship here.
[18773][18799]We're gonna have to do this|the hard way.
[18937][18953]Whoa, boy.
[18982][19012]You are one tough son of a gun.
[19090][19110]Oh, jeez.
[19389][19429]Maybe it's just not in the cards|between you and me.
[19578][19616]The heart\ of the wild horse is at one|with the heart\ of man, Washoe.
[19618][19643]Both yearn to be free.
[19655][19676]But, Uncle Ray,|even if I can catch him
[19677][19708]without getting myself killed,|how will I ever ride him?
[19709][19729]The white man's way|is to conquer the horse,
[19731][19756]ours is to ride him|in the direction he is going.
[19758][19785]Become the red side of your nature.|Be his friend.
[19787][19803]But he doesn't wanna be my friend.
[19805][19838]No, because he knows|you do not want to become his friend.
[19840][19876]In your hearts you must both|find a reason to become one.
[19897][19935]Okay, boy,|we both want the same thing:
[19936][19970]To survive|and to protect your ladies.
[19972][19990]Can we agree on that?
[20088][20122]- Thelma!|- All right. I got it.
[20130][20147]I should have driven my own car.
[20149][20184]Nonsense. It'd just get all dusty.
[20243][20266]You're not gonna like this.
[20458][20482]I'll make you a deal, big guy.
[20484][20521]You help me take down those guys|who are trying to hurt\ your mares...
[20534][20560]...and I'll let you go|when this is all over.
[20562][20585]How's that, huh?
[20643][20659]Easy.
[20681][20697]Okay.
[20807][20822]Whoa, boy.
[21044][21080]Okay, boy,|let's go take care of business, huh?
[21096][21111]Okay, let's do it.
[21346][21363]You should find Santana|and his bunch
[21364][21388]somewhere around the feed drop|down by Indian Wells.
[21389][21405]Drive them down the valley|to the pickups,
[21407][21436]then get out of the way so|Corbin and the boys can finish the job.
[21438][21452]Get going!
[21537][21550]Don't you feel anything about this?
[21552][21573]Don't start\ in on me again, Mitch.
[21612][21624]Follow the pickup.
[21626][21651]They'll cut them down your tailgate.
[21658][21675]Roll out.
[21677][21697]Let's get it done.
[22110][22126]Why are we stopping here, Thelma?
[22128][22148]Because I don't trust them.
[22160][22183]- Give me that.|- What kind of a Ranger are you?
[22184][22210]The kind who would like|to do things peacefully, if possible.
[22218][22238]Come on, let's go then.
[22302][22326]This is crazy, Ned.|We don't need to sell the ranch.
[22328][22370]- This is our lives.|- Yours maybe, but not mine.
[22377][22387]I'm sick of the sweat.
[22389][22405]It's a lot better|than what you're into now.
[22418][22441]Ned Travis, your Daddy|would be spinning in his grave
[22443][22474]if he knew you were gonna|kill those mustangs.
[22476][22488]What are you doing here, Ranger?
[22490][22516]I'm looking for my part\ner.|I figured he might wanna talk to you.
[22518][22536]We haven't seen him|since you were here before.
[22544][22577]Well, then he's with the horses.|Where are they?
[22578][22604]Unless you got a warrant,|you'd best get off my ranch.
[22606][22618]We ain't done nothing.
[22620][22633]Nothing?
[22638][22658]Maybe you didn't fire the gun|that killed Hank Sweet,
[22659][22674]but I'll bet the trail leads to you.
[22684][22706]And when it does,|I'll be back here with your warrant.
[22708][22719]Now, where are the horses?
[22726][22748]- How would I know where they are?|- I know.
[22750][22784]They were on Hank Sweet's tapes.|Come on.
[22815][22838]You might wanna educate your boys,|Mr. Travis.
[22966][22991]Corbin killed Hank Sweet, didn't he?
[23005][23018]Didn't he?
[23020][23039]It was an accident.
[23077][23111]Hank got Van Sickle drunk one night,|got him talking, got it on tape.
[23116][23135]He called me,|said if I didn't call off the shoot
[23136][23150]he was gonna call the cops.
[23152][23173]He had pictures of us, Mitch.|He had a copy of the will.
[23175][23190]He knew.
[23207][23234]Yeah, but did you have|Corbin kill Hank Sweet?
[23239][23263]Was it like they said?|Did you have Hank Sweet killed?
[23264][23283]It got out of control.|Corbin got carried away.
[23285][23300]Yeah, but did you have|Hank Sweet killed?
[23302][23319]No!
[23336][23351]Good.
[23353][23370]Well, let's call this whole thing off.
[23374][23400]Let's just call the cops,|tell them about Corbin.
[23415][23436]It's too late for that, Mitch.
[23446][23482]Corbin said he killed Walker today|out at Devil's Rock.
[23500][23521]I got no choice.
[23528][23555]I either go all the way|or I go to prison.
[23582][23601]I gotta take care of Thelma|and that other Ranger.
[23602][23637]You're talking about more killing?|I can't let you do that!
[24392][24429]Well, we got your girls put to bed,
[24430][24469]let's go get the shooters|before they get us.
[24581][24598]Let's check down in the gully.
[24600][24623]Man, there ain't nothing down there.
[24624][24644]We gotta look lower.
[24696][24742]Now, you gonna tell me that a whole|herd of horses can disappear like that?
[24744][24760]I don't know.
[24792][24807]They gotta be|around here somewhere.
[24809][24832]Move up on the left here.
[24850][24871]Hold it! Drop the guns.
[24873][24889]Drop them.
[24906][24921]Now, the smart\est thing|you boys can do
[24922][24937]is ride and don't look back.
[24942][24981]If I see you back in this territory,|I'm gonna nail your skins to the wall.
[24983][24994]Now, get!
[25002][25028]Come on. Come on.
[25043][25073]Okay, boy,|let's go get the heavy hitters.
[25245][25266]Van Sickle,|you hear anything from the outriders?
[25268][25280]Not a peep.
[25281][25302]I tried to reach them,|but nobody's talking.
[25304][25322]Yeah, maybe they're behind a ridge.
[25323][25342]Keep your eyes open.
[25422][25439]Holy...!
[25478][25493]Yeah, I see him.
[25538][25555]Shoot him!
[25663][25681]Let's get the hell out of here now!
[26075][26094]Pull over, boys.
[26103][26119]Get out.
[26137][26161]Come on. Come around.
[26177][26211]See what I mean, Thelma?|Peaceful as possible.
[26314][26329]Walker.
[26347][26363]Nice work.
[26375][26397]How the hell did you get|all the way out here?
[26398][26424]- I rode Santana.|- No man can ride Santana.
[26434][26459]Well, let's just say he and I|were going in the same direction.
[26464][26487]Then where is he now?
[26500][26526]I don't know. Gone, I guess.
[26962][26997]Ain't that the most beautiful sight|you ever saw?
[27032][27048]You mean to see them|running free like that?
[27050][27071]- Yeah.|- Yeah.
[27082][27122]It's something Ned Travis and Corbin|won't be doing for a long time though.
[27133][27146]Serves them right.
[27154][27171]I hope they rot in jail.
[27176][27198]Well, Mitch's testimony will seal it.
[27200][27215]He promised to keep this|a working ranch
[27217][27233]and protect the herd|like his father wanted.
[27376][27392]Hey.
[27436][27461]I guess this is where|push comes to shove, part\ner.
[27465][27493]I've known seven great horses|in my life,
[27499][27523]and Santana's six of them.
[27534][27561]If there's ever a horse|I didn't want to give up,
[27563][27583]this is the one.
[27585][27615]You and Santana was meant|to be together, Walker.
[27622][27640]Yeah, I know.
[27679][27699]Have a good life, old boy.
