00:00In conclusion, gentlemen, looking back at the past, I remember a handful of people with
00:20their wagons making an outspan on what was open felt, with no church, no roads, no hotels,
00:28no men, and no law. It fills me with pride to know that we have achieved so much, and
00:35that now we can justly call ourselves a town.
00:39Sir, come in, we were expecting you to join our little celebration.
00:45I'm sorry to interrupt your celebration, Frank, but there's something I think you should know.
00:49The aliens are on their way here.
00:51The aliens? Who are they?
00:53I've heard of them.
00:54They're a bunch of thugs. Up in the diamond fields, they're known as the four evangelists.
00:58Pastor Luke, the father, Matthew, Mark, and John, the sons.
01:02He named one of them after a pagan, Jubal. He's the worst.
01:05But what can they do here?
01:07Do? I don't know what they'll do.
01:09They might be just riding through, stopping for a couple of drinks before they move on.
01:12Or they might settle down and make a night of it.
01:14That I will not allow.
01:16You may not be able to help it, Frank.
01:18But it doesn't make sense. Why are they coming here?
01:20They won't dare start anything here. They know we can get outside help.
01:24I shouldn't be too sure of that.
01:26The lines are down between here and Barberton.
01:28But is there no such thing as law and order in our town?
01:30I mean, I've a prayer meeting this evening.
01:32Then I should cancel it.
01:34I'm just telling you.
01:36You'd all be better to stay in your own homes tonight.
01:38And keep your families there.
01:45Anything can happen.
