00:05.235 --> 00:06.694
‪[Esau] These badges we wear on our chests,

00:06.778 --> 00:08.530
‪made from different materials.

00:08.613 --> 00:11.157
‪Mine a star cut from a <i>‪cinco</i>‪ peso piece.

00:11.241 --> 00:13.117
‪[Bass] My prisoner a good man.

00:13.201 --> 00:15.328
‪I trust you'll see he get a fair trial.

00:15.411 --> 00:17.413
‪My prisoners always get what they deserve.

00:17.497 --> 00:19.833
‪I see you got yourself into some trouble.

00:19.916 --> 00:20.875
‪All in a day's work.

00:22.126 --> 00:23.461
‪Marry me, Calista.

00:23.545 --> 00:26.506
‪You can't afford the ring
‪it'll take to hitch me.

00:26.589 --> 00:28.424
‪This the one who done Webb.

00:30.301 --> 00:32.095
‪[gunshot]

00:32.178 --> 00:34.097
‪Good work, Billy Crow.

00:35.306 --> 00:37.684
‪I'm leavin'. I can't stay here--
‪they'll have my neck.

00:37.767 --> 00:39.144
‪You got nothing to worry about.

00:39.227 --> 00:41.980
‪Maybe you don't,
‪but my last name ain't Reeves.

00:42.063 --> 00:43.481
‪Well, you must have heard the stories

00:43.565 --> 00:44.816
‪about Black men disappearing.

00:44.899 --> 00:46.651
‪Slavery is supposed to be dead,

00:46.734 --> 00:48.486
‪but it is only wounded.

00:48.570 --> 00:51.072
‪Texas Rangers received the boots

00:51.155 --> 00:52.282
<i>‪of prisoner Jackson Cole.</i>

00:52.365 --> 00:54.450
‪Who makin' Black men disappear?

00:55.535 --> 00:58.246
‪Bass Reeves. Mr. Sundown.

00:58.329 --> 00:59.789
‪The <i>‪cinco</i>‪ peso.

00:59.873 --> 01:03.334
‪Don't you see? Heaven is
‪full of killers, Bass Reeves.

01:05.295 --> 01:08.214
‪[slow, dramatic music]

01:35.241 --> 01:36.659
‪You was good to me.

01:38.453 --> 01:40.455
‪Be good to them now.

01:55.053 --> 01:57.347
‪[sighs]

01:57.430 --> 01:59.557
‪Know why I'm here?

02:07.106 --> 02:09.317
‪Want to say your goodbyes?

02:23.873 --> 02:25.959
‪[indistinct chatter]

02:29.712 --> 02:31.798
‪[clamoring]

02:50.191 --> 02:53.277
‪[shouting]

02:57.323 --> 02:59.534
‪[ragged whooping]

03:04.831 --> 03:07.291
‪[Parker] <i>‪<i><u>‪When you've sat on this bench,</u></i></i>

03:07.375 --> 03:09.627
‪for as long as I have,

03:09.711 --> 03:12.213
‪you come to regard misfortune

03:12.296 --> 03:15.133
‪with a certain dispassion.

03:16.175 --> 03:17.719
‪This is no different.

03:18.803 --> 03:21.389
‪In the case of Bass Reeves,

03:21.472 --> 03:24.058
‪a deputy marshal assigned to this court,

03:24.142 --> 03:26.602
‪who has been tried for the murder…

03:26.686 --> 03:28.771
‪[Parker's voice echoes indistinctly]

03:34.402 --> 03:37.405
‪At this date,

03:37.488 --> 03:39.991
‪the jury has determined…

03:40.908 --> 03:42.910
‪[soaring, triumphant music]

04:47.850 --> 04:51.938
‪[Mary] <i>‪Jennie, you've mastered</i>
<i>‪what I've spent</i>

04:52.021 --> 04:54.607
‪46 years of matrimony wrestling.

04:54.690 --> 04:56.651
‪-How's that?
‪-[chuckles]

04:56.734 --> 04:59.779
‪-My husband's sitting still.
‪-[Parker chuckles]

04:59.862 --> 05:03.282
‪[Parker] Being on that bench
‪all day, day in and day out…

05:03.366 --> 05:04.909
‪[continues indistinctly]

05:04.992 --> 05:07.787
‪[Esau] <i>‪I always said</i>
<i>‪we weren't so different,</i>

05:07.870 --> 05:10.248
<i>‪except that one thing.</i>

05:13.084 --> 05:15.086
‪[dialogue inaudible]

05:23.177 --> 05:26.305
‪[Esau] <i>‪Heaven is full</i>

05:26.389 --> 05:29.225

<i>‪as they will welcome you.</i>

05:38.860 --> 05:41.904
<i>‪But all this blood on your hands…</i>

05:42.905 --> 05:46.576
‪I was thinking a little time
‪at home could do Bass well.

05:46.659 --> 05:49.370
‪[Jennie] Now there's an idea.

05:49.453 --> 05:51.581
‪That don't seem necessary to me.

05:51.664 --> 05:53.749
‪There he is.

05:53.833 --> 05:55.710
‪[all chuckling]

05:56.752 --> 05:58.796
‪[quiet music]

06:19.483 --> 06:23.446
‪Judge Parker suggested
‪a spell of lighter fare.

06:28.618 --> 06:31.454
‪I've got us a fine cook here, Bass.

06:31.537 --> 06:33.497
‪Came recommended by Heck Thomas.

06:33.581 --> 06:36.918
‪Word is his beans?
‪Even better than his biscuits.

06:37.001 --> 06:39.003
‪Mm.

06:42.173 --> 06:43.591
‪Come on.

06:57.688 --> 07:00.191
‪[echoing] <i>‪We know our own.</i>

07:00.274 --> 07:01.484
‪I saw you.

07:02.902 --> 07:04.654
‪You are a wolf, Bass.

07:05.655 --> 07:07.490
<i>‪We know our own.</i>

07:08.366 --> 07:11.327
‪Nah, you a monster.

07:17.166 --> 07:19.085
‪What the hell you say?

07:21.212 --> 07:22.421
‪Nothin'.

07:26.092 --> 07:27.969
‪[tense music]

07:36.602 --> 07:38.938
‪[quiet, melancholy music]

08:07.425 --> 08:09.594
‪[knock at door]

08:14.807 --> 08:16.726
‪You left him?

08:18.436 --> 08:21.856
‪Our visit with you and Bass made
‪an impression on both of us.

08:23.482 --> 08:27.194
‪I asked him how he could build a new world

08:27.278 --> 08:29.614
‪when his own home wasn't even in order.

08:30.740 --> 08:34.201
‪He asked me if that mattered. [sniffles]

08:34.285 --> 08:35.911
‪Esme, dear.

08:39.040 --> 08:40.833
‪Truth is,

08:40.916 --> 08:44.837
‪I always knew Edwin's dreams were pure,

08:44.920 --> 08:46.547
‪but his heart couldn't follow.

08:49.634 --> 08:51.093
‪Let's get you inside.

08:51.177 --> 08:53.262
‪[sobs, sniffles]

09:05.524 --> 09:07.318
‪[Jennie] <i>‪I kept waiting on Bass for this,</i>

09:07.401 --> 09:09.904
‪I might get to play at my own funeral.

09:09.987 --> 09:12.657
‪That your way of saying thank you?

09:12.740 --> 09:14.325
‪-A way.
‪-[chuckles]

09:17.036 --> 09:19.288
‪None of my business, but…

09:19.372 --> 09:21.540
‪how do you two handle it?

09:21.624 --> 09:22.541
‪What?

09:22.625 --> 09:24.543
‪The miles between.

09:24.627 --> 09:27.672
‪[chuckles]

09:27.755 --> 09:30.091
‪[sighs] I've grown stronger, I suppose.

09:31.509 --> 09:33.552
‪But Bass?

09:33.636 --> 09:37.306
‪His children hardly
‪even notice him anymore.

09:38.557 --> 09:40.309
‪Even when he around here,

09:40.393 --> 09:41.727
‪he like a shadow on the floorboards.

09:41.811 --> 09:43.771
‪Still.

09:43.854 --> 09:45.439
‪He tries to do right by them.

09:45.523 --> 09:47.358
‪Trying is different than being.

09:47.441 --> 09:49.527
‪He's dedicated to you.

09:49.610 --> 09:51.654
‪Bass is dedicated to justice.

09:51.737 --> 09:54.156
‪To some kind of fancy ideal
‪he keep buried in his heart.

09:54.240 --> 09:56.701
‪Right there under that badge.

09:56.784 --> 09:58.619
‪Seems sometimes there's hardly much room

09:58.703 --> 10:00.955
‪for anything or anyone else.

10:02.289 --> 10:05.292
‪Duty and law. Just like blood and bone.

10:05.376 --> 10:08.045
‪Forgive me, Lord,

10:08.129 --> 10:11.799
‪but that man has been baptized
‪in your name, Jennie.

10:11.882 --> 10:13.467
‪I should be so lucky.

10:19.181 --> 10:22.017
‪This piano is gonna be finer

10:22.101 --> 10:23.477
‪than any Mistress Reeves
‪ever dreamt of owning.

10:23.561 --> 10:25.271
‪[chuckles softly]

10:25.354 --> 10:26.814
‪Who would've imagined that.

10:26.897 --> 10:28.899
‪[chuckling]

10:30.067 --> 10:31.068
‪[knock at door]

10:40.202 --> 10:41.412
‪Hello.

10:41.495 --> 10:43.539
‪Is this the Reeves household?

10:43.622 --> 10:45.124
‪It is.

10:45.207 --> 10:46.625
‪Is Bass home?

10:46.709 --> 10:48.753
‪Mister Reeves is away.

10:48.836 --> 10:50.463
‪Was there something I could help you with?

10:50.546 --> 10:51.630
‪How about Sally?

10:52.256 --> 10:54.592
‪Would you like to come inside
‪while I fetch her?

10:54.675 --> 10:56.844
‪I have to leave now.

11:00.181 --> 11:03.809
‪[gentle, dramatic music]

11:07.521 --> 11:09.857
‪Sally Sharon Reeves!

11:17.531 --> 11:20.201
‪I just told that girl to mind her manners.

11:20.284 --> 11:21.785
‪To a white girl?

11:21.869 --> 11:23.204
‪You know better.

11:23.287 --> 11:24.747
‪Does Daddy know better?

11:25.789 --> 11:27.458
‪Cause I did exactly what he would've done.

11:28.626 --> 11:30.211
‪She ain't wrong.

11:30.294 --> 11:31.921
‪You want to check back into the Railhead?

11:32.004 --> 11:33.797
‪I'll accompany you.

11:33.881 --> 11:35.591
‪And you.

11:35.674 --> 11:37.301
‪Don't act like
‪you're too old for a whupping.

11:38.636 --> 11:40.012
‪Yes, ma'am.

11:59.490 --> 12:00.824
‪Ma'am.

12:03.577 --> 12:04.912
‪How do?

12:04.995 --> 12:07.122
‪[Bass] Hot as a pepper dipped in fire.

12:08.290 --> 12:09.583
‪[woman] Don't I know.

12:11.418 --> 12:14.338
‪Seems like ol' Scratch
‪got the upper hand of late.

12:15.506 --> 12:17.508
‪Looking for a' Moody O'Neil.

12:18.467 --> 12:22.680
‪Got a writ in my pocket
‪with his name on it.

12:26.141 --> 12:29.019
‪Happen to know where he is?

12:31.605 --> 12:33.232
‪Sitting on this porch.

12:33.315 --> 12:35.067
‪[Billy chuckles]

12:37.611 --> 12:40.739
‪Afternoon, Missus O'Neil.

12:42.575 --> 12:46.328
‪I put on my prettiest hanging dress.

12:46.412 --> 12:50.749
‪Just didn't know
‪if it would be you or a mob.

12:53.586 --> 12:56.505
‪That ain't gonna be necessary.

12:56.589 --> 12:57.923
‪Will it, ma'am?

12:58.007 --> 13:02.720
‪Well, I'm told I entered
‪this world quiet as the night.

13:04.138 --> 13:07.057
‪No squalling or fussing.

13:08.559 --> 13:11.437
‪I intend to leave it the same way.

13:15.190 --> 13:19.069
‪No personal effects, sorry to tell you.

13:19.153 --> 13:21.113
‪Well…

13:21.196 --> 13:24.533
‪you gonna want to take this.

13:24.617 --> 13:26.785
‪It's what I kilt him with.

13:26.869 --> 13:28.871
‪[melancholy music]

13:55.731 --> 13:57.816
‪[crickets chirping]

14:09.161 --> 14:10.788
‪Your daddy learnt with turkeys.

14:11.830 --> 14:12.956
‪It was William Reeves,

14:13.040 --> 14:14.917
‪George's father, that taught him,

14:15.000 --> 14:16.585
‪but…

14:16.669 --> 14:19.838
‪I think he was born knowing
‪how to squeeze a trigger.

14:19.922 --> 14:23.092
‪They'd travel to contests,
‪and Bass always won.

14:23.175 --> 14:28.097
‪And then, they'd come back
‪with a whole wagon chock-full.

14:28.180 --> 14:31.892
‪Master William kept the money,
‪of course, but Bass,

14:31.976 --> 14:35.020
‪he got all them big old birds,
‪round as pumpkins.

14:35.104 --> 14:36.939
‪And Pearlalee would cook 'em up,

14:37.022 --> 14:41.193
‪and all of us would eat and eat
‪until our bellies about burst,

14:41.276 --> 14:44.363
‪-round as pumpkins, too.
‪-[children giggle]

14:44.446 --> 14:47.950
‪I've been told
‪your daddy never missed a shot.

14:48.033 --> 14:49.994
‪Not once.

14:52.413 --> 14:54.164
‪Mama!

14:54.248 --> 14:55.207
‪[gasps]

15:03.924 --> 15:05.759
‪Get upstairs.

15:05.843 --> 15:07.594
‪Now. Go to your room.

15:07.678 --> 15:09.304
‪Go. Get upstairs.

15:09.388 --> 15:11.181
‪Sally.

15:11.265 --> 15:13.726
‪-Don't come out till I say.
‪-[child crying]

15:15.728 --> 15:17.813

15:22.901 --> 15:24.820
‪[melancholy music]

15:29.825 --> 15:31.118
‪She ain't eating.

15:51.680 --> 15:53.724
‪I don't care much
‪for what is cooking neither,

15:53.807 --> 15:55.059
‪but you got to eat.

15:55.142 --> 15:57.728
‪I don't know that I do.

15:59.104 --> 16:02.608
‪Given what I'm headed for.

16:02.691 --> 16:04.318
‪You don't know your fate.

16:04.401 --> 16:05.903
‪That's what the court's for.

16:05.986 --> 16:08.447
‪I deserve to hang.

16:09.573 --> 16:12.201
‪And I don't regret nothing.

16:12.284 --> 16:14.870
‪[insects buzzing]

16:44.691 --> 16:47.111
‪[tense music]

16:54.201 --> 16:56.036
‪[Willy laughs]

16:56.120 --> 16:58.956
‪That granny had you thinking
‪she was ready to hang, huh?

16:59.039 --> 17:02.709
‪Should've seen how fast she run,
‪once freed of your chains.

17:14.805 --> 17:16.431
‪Where's the old crow?

17:16.515 --> 17:18.308
‪Your cook turned her loose.

17:22.563 --> 17:23.981
‪Shit.

17:24.064 --> 17:25.566
‪[grunts]

17:25.649 --> 17:27.609
‪I'll saddle us up,
‪she can't have gone far.

17:27.693 --> 17:30.404
‪[Willy] Oh, she took off hours
‪before first light.

17:30.487 --> 17:32.447
‪You cowardly son of a bitch.

17:42.207 --> 17:44.918
‪You set out to hang an old Black woman

17:45.002 --> 17:47.045
‪in a white man's noose.

17:48.547 --> 17:49.756
‪But I'm cowardly?

17:49.840 --> 17:51.550
‪You shut your damn mouth already.

17:53.260 --> 17:54.136
‪We can catch her.

17:54.219 --> 17:55.345
‪[Willy] Your man want to do me harm.

17:55.429 --> 17:56.972
‪Now, you should remind him,

17:57.055 --> 17:59.099
‪my name ain't on
‪one of your master's writs.

17:59.183 --> 18:00.893
‪Huh?

18:00.976 --> 18:03.312
‪My hide won't feed Mrs. Bass.

18:03.395 --> 18:06.648
‪Or them little coons that
‪nigger sow pushed out of her.

18:09.318 --> 18:11.904
‪Ah… [chuckles]

18:11.987 --> 18:13.363
‪But…

18:18.702 --> 18:21.330
‪Ah, these will set you at ease.

18:24.499 --> 18:27.252
‪Go on, collect your blood bounty!

18:28.795 --> 18:30.881
‪Up-jumped slave catcher.

18:30.964 --> 18:33.759
‪Because no matter what you say,

18:33.842 --> 18:35.260
‪that's all you is.

18:38.931 --> 18:40.098
‪[laughs]

‪[Willy sputtering]

19:08.502 --> 19:10.420
‪[Billy] Bass, we got to fix
‪our story here.

19:10.504 --> 19:12.172
‪[Willy choking]

19:12.256 --> 19:15.050
‪Say you were just cleaning
‪your rifle or some such, else…

19:15.133 --> 19:16.885
‪Parker won't take no mercy.

‪[Esau] <i>‪I saw you.</i>

20:34.087 --> 20:35.839
<i>‪You are a wolf, Bass.</i>

20:35.922 --> 20:38.967
<i>‪I know a monster when I see one,</i>
<i>‪Bass Reeves.</i>

20:39.051 --> 20:40.677
<i>‪You listen to your daddy, now.</i>

20:40.761 --> 20:42.387
‪[Bass] Curtis!

20:44.139 --> 20:45.432
‪[screams] No!

20:49.811 --> 20:52.939
‪[Esau] <i>‪Bass, you must know…</i>

20:53.023 --> 20:55.025
‪I had no desire to shoot the boy.

20:57.527 --> 20:58.987
<i>‪I wonder how much blood</i>

20:59.071 --> 21:00.989
‪you left in your wake
‪on your path to freedom.

21:01.073 --> 21:02.824
‪No more than I had to.

21:04.117 --> 21:06.411
‪-No child.
‪-You are a killer, just like me.

21:27.641 --> 21:29.601
‪[crickets chirping]

21:29.684 --> 21:31.686
‪[slow, dramatic music]

21:40.779 --> 21:42.447
‪[hoofbeats approaching]

21:51.289 --> 21:53.583
‪[sighs]

21:53.667 --> 21:55.419
‪[Parker] And one summer,

21:55.502 --> 21:58.672
‪probably six or seven years old,

21:58.755 --> 22:01.216
‪we had a drought.

22:01.299 --> 22:02.801
‪The Biblical kind.

22:02.884 --> 22:06.346
‪My daddy lost a lot of sleep.

22:06.430 --> 22:09.808
‪Scared to death he was gonna
‪lose all that he had.

22:09.891 --> 22:12.727
‪Watching his boy grow thinner

22:12.811 --> 22:15.188
‪than he already was.

22:15.272 --> 22:18.233
‪I used to wander down to the root cellar

22:18.316 --> 22:21.403
‪and once, after church,
‪I hit the second step

22:21.486 --> 22:23.572
‪and I heard Mama and Daddy below,

22:23.655 --> 22:26.158
‪a lot of big…

22:26.241 --> 22:28.869
‪unkind words I didn't understand.

22:31.538 --> 22:33.540
‪They were scared.

22:36.209 --> 22:39.504
‪About tomorrow, and the day after.

22:42.340 --> 22:46.386
‪Now, I've always felt compelled
‪to help folks.

22:47.888 --> 22:49.681
‪No different then from now.

22:49.764 --> 22:51.474
‪Except when I was a boy,

22:51.558 --> 22:53.310
‪I'd go treasure hunting.

22:53.393 --> 22:55.604
‪Thinking that if I found something,

22:55.687 --> 22:57.647
‪Mama and Daddy would be okay.

22:57.731 --> 23:00.275
‪[chuckles] And wouldn't you know it?

23:01.568 --> 23:05.280
‪In the creek, down past the farm,

23:05.363 --> 23:07.490
‪I found gold.

23:07.574 --> 23:10.410
‪Shining and winking at me.

23:10.493 --> 23:13.830
‪So I scooped up what I could
‪and ran to the house,

23:13.914 --> 23:15.916
‪believing I'd saved

23:15.999 --> 23:18.460
‪what they had lost all that sleep over.

23:18.543 --> 23:20.754
‪I burst inside,

23:20.837 --> 23:22.881
‪dumped all the treasure on Mama's table.

23:22.964 --> 23:25.800
‪I couldn't hear what Daddy said,

23:25.884 --> 23:28.678
‪but he picked up a mallet
‪and started hitting it.

23:28.762 --> 23:32.849
‪I cried when I saw it break up and…

23:32.933 --> 23:34.351
‪crumble…

23:35.518 --> 23:37.979
‪and then shatter, like glass.

23:39.773 --> 23:42.067
‪It was naught but pyrite.

23:42.150 --> 23:45.028
‪That's called fool's gold.

23:47.948 --> 23:50.033
‪I carried that lesson with me.

23:51.201 --> 23:55.664
‪Used it to keep my expectations in check.

23:55.747 --> 23:58.750
‪So, why don't I just ask you, Bass,

23:58.833 --> 24:00.335
‪what are you?

24:02.337 --> 24:04.381
‪Are you gold?

24:05.799 --> 24:07.467
‪Or pyrite?

24:10.470 --> 24:13.181
‪I didn't know my own father.

24:14.516 --> 24:16.768
‪They sold him off before I was born.

24:19.145 --> 24:22.023
‪Come Christmastime,

24:22.107 --> 24:24.693
‪they'd let him visit.

24:24.776 --> 24:28.280
‪A sit, a meal…

24:28.363 --> 24:31.199
‪then gone all over again.

24:31.283 --> 24:35.161
‪My mama would plait verbena in her hair.

24:35.245 --> 24:37.747
‪Pretty herself up for his coming.

24:37.831 --> 24:41.710
‪Remember that clearer
‪than my daddy's face itself.

24:42.627 --> 24:44.754
‪No…

24:46.464 --> 24:50.969
‪The man whose name and brand I carry,

24:51.052 --> 24:53.221
‪the one who taught me to ride,

24:53.305 --> 24:55.473
‪to shoot,

24:55.557 --> 24:57.892
‪was William Reeves.

24:59.686 --> 25:01.813
‪Everyone told me how fortunate I was

25:01.896 --> 25:03.606
‪to have his good favor.

25:03.690 --> 25:05.734
‪"You got the big man's interest, Bass."

25:05.817 --> 25:08.153
‪"Mind him good, Bass."

25:09.988 --> 25:12.282
‪He wasn't a cruel man.

25:12.365 --> 25:14.576
‪At least not on the surface.

25:14.659 --> 25:17.912
‪But then he gifted me to his son.

25:17.996 --> 25:19.414
‪George.

25:19.497 --> 25:24.085
‪And when that man's cruel came
‪too much to bear…

25:24.169 --> 25:26.755
‪I didn't go treasure hunting,

25:26.838 --> 25:29.215
‪collecting loose rocks,

25:29.299 --> 25:31.384
‪fool's gold.

25:31.468 --> 25:33.303
‪No, sir.

25:35.305 --> 25:38.350
‪For you, knowing who's who a simple thing.

25:38.433 --> 25:41.478
‪Gold or pyrite.

25:41.561 --> 25:43.938
‪But justice…

25:45.398 --> 25:47.901
‪Ain't nothing more costly.

25:47.984 --> 25:51.363
‪Now I'm ready to pay for mine
‪in Hell on the Border.

25:51.446 --> 25:53.740
‪You paid yours, Judge Parker?

25:53.823 --> 25:55.617
‪'Cause I reckon you about to,

25:55.700 --> 25:58.244
‪'cause I ain't gonna be
‪down there alone, am I?

25:58.328 --> 26:00.246
‪You gonna be sitting right next to me.

26:00.330 --> 26:02.665
‪So I'll go ahead and ask.

26:04.834 --> 26:08.171
‪How much time we doin'…

26:08.254 --> 26:09.839
‪sir?

26:11.383 --> 26:13.385
‪[tense, dramatic music]

26:19.140 --> 26:20.892
‪[chair creaks]

26:27.357 --> 26:28.817
‪[door opens]

26:29.859 --> 26:33.029
‪[prisoners shouting and whooping]

26:51.214 --> 26:53.341
‪You are a killer, just like me.

26:53.425 --> 26:55.135
‪[echoing] <i>‪You are, you are a killer.</i>

26:55.218 --> 26:56.261
‪[gunshot]

‪[Parker] <i>‪When you've sat on this bench</i>

26:59.973 --> 27:02.183
‪for as long as I have,

27:02.267 --> 27:04.811
‪you come to regard misfortune

27:04.894 --> 27:07.730
‪with a certain dispassion.

27:08.773 --> 27:10.316
‪This is no different.

27:11.401 --> 27:13.611
‪In the case of Bass Reeves,

27:13.695 --> 27:16.656
‪a deputy marshal assigned to this court,

27:16.739 --> 27:21.119
‪who has been tried for
‪the murder of Willy Leach…

27:21.202 --> 27:24.414
‪Upon careful review of the evidence

27:24.497 --> 27:27.750
‪presented by the defendant's attorney,

27:27.834 --> 27:30.211
‪and the state,

27:30.295 --> 27:32.046
‪I pronounce you…

27:33.089 --> 27:35.258
‪not guilty.

27:39.512 --> 27:41.431
‪[quiet music]

28:01.409 --> 28:02.827
‪[Jennie exhales]

28:20.970 --> 28:22.889

28:52.377 --> 28:54.045
<i>‪made from different materials.</i>

‪Yours a tin star, mine a star
‪cut from a <i>‪cinco</i>‪ peso piece.

28:58.091 --> 29:01.177
<i>‪But the power they give…</i>

29:01.261 --> 29:03.596
<i>‪You honor the badge, Bass.</i>

29:03.680 --> 29:06.683
‪But even with it, a man like you
‪couldn't arrest a man like me

29:06.766 --> 29:08.017
‪once we cross that river.

29:08.101 --> 29:10.270
‪I had no mind to arrest you.

29:10.353 --> 29:11.980
‪No. By those angry eyes,

29:12.063 --> 29:13.523
‪I reckon you'd just as soon kill me.

‪[dark, mournful music]

29:37.130 --> 29:39.591
‪When I was gone from you…

29:41.301 --> 29:44.429
‪there was a boy that I loved like a son.

29:46.472 --> 29:48.558
‪His name was Curtis.

29:51.060 --> 29:52.937
‪He was murdered.

29:55.523 --> 29:58.443
‪I'm going after the man who killed him.

29:59.485 --> 30:01.446
‪[intense, dramatic music]

30:47.450 --> 30:49.369
‪[dark, low music]

31:01.965 --> 31:04.342
‪[boy] You a lawman or an outlaw?

31:04.425 --> 31:06.761
‪Today, a bit of both, I reckon.
