02:30I'll give you one more chance to talk.
02:32Oh, yeah?
02:33Try and make me.
02:35You're going to run, brother.
02:57Now, if you're going to run, brother, I'll give you a chance.
03:13Now talk fast.
03:14Where's Miss Weston and the boy?
03:16The gang's taking them to the hideout.
03:18Where?
03:19In Crystal Canyon.
03:20You're taking me there.
03:21Turn around.
03:22Go on.
03:29All right, get on.
04:14There's some grub for you.
04:41How long are you going to keep us here?
04:43Until we get that double-crossing brother of yours away from the vigilantes.
04:57There he goes, calling that devil horse again.
05:10Save your breath, kid.
05:12The devil horse is across the border by this time.
05:22It's no use calling, dear.
05:23The horse is gone.
05:28Horse?
05:30The horse's gone?
05:32Yes, they've taken him away.
05:40Come on, dear, please.
05:42You must be hungry.
05:44Come on.
05:45Come on, we'll eat.
05:49Come on.
06:17Why, you know how to use a knife and fork.
06:22Knife?
06:24Fork?
06:25Yes.
06:27Me use before.
06:29When?
06:30Where?
06:31Long time ago.
06:33My daddy, he show me.
06:36Why, you're talking.
06:37You're remembering things.
06:54Just to make sure you don't warn your friends.
07:18Now, if you want to hang, brother, just try and run away.
07:45He come.
08:01Look out!
08:02Devil horse!
08:19You all right, Miss Weston?
08:20Yes.
08:23Yes, we're all right.
08:31Great work, kid.
08:32You saved my life.
08:34Better get guns.
08:35Maybe more men come here.
08:37Why, son, you're talking.
08:43He must have known how to talk once.
08:45Yes, and that blow on the head restored his memory.
08:49Come on, let's get out of here before any of the gang comes back.
08:59They're kind of the outlaws to loan us their horses.
09:22He killed man.
09:24Are you sure?
09:26Yes.
09:28Now we can prove that your brother didn't kill Alan.
09:31We'll take the kid to town, let him tell his story to the sheriff.
09:34And I'll get word to the vigilantes to bring Lee and meet us there.
09:38Bateson, the devil horse must be over the border by now.
09:41Can I tell you everything will be all right, boy?
09:43With what we clean up here and what we make on that devil horse,
09:46We'll be sitting pretty, eh?
10:15Come in.
10:33Something's up, Mr. Canfield.
10:35The vigilante just took Lee Weston to the sheriff's office.
10:38What?
10:39Yes.
10:40I saw that fellow Roberts riding with Bates tied up.
10:42Bates?
10:44That means he lost the devil horse.
10:45Oh, never mind the devil horse now.
10:47It means our own...
10:48You get back over there and pick up all the news you can.
10:50Report to me here.
10:51Right.
10:54Now we're in for it.
10:56Bates and Weston will put our necks in a noose.
10:58No, they won't.
10:59It's our lives or theirs.
11:01And I'm not cashing in yet.
11:05It's a lie.
11:07Sheriff, they're trying to frame me to save their own necks.
11:10Roberts killed Slim Johnson.
11:12And Weston murdered Allen.
11:14You've had your say, Bates.
11:16Roberts, if you didn't see the man that fired the shot at you,
11:20How do you know it was Bates?
11:22Well, his horse had a broken shoe.
11:25The wild boy and I follow this trail.
11:40I ain't aiming to let you make a target out of me twice.
11:50What do you mean?
11:52You know what I mean.
11:54And I'm here to find out why.
11:56Sure I took a shot at you.
11:58To keep you from killing Lee Weston.
12:00Yeah?
12:04Whoever that is, keep your mouth shut about me.
12:15Hello, Slim.
12:16What's up?
12:17We're raiding tonight.
12:18Feeding at the Fork Beyond the Creek.
12:21Fork Beyond the Creek?
12:24What time?
12:26Right after sundown.
12:27We got a long way to go.
12:39Okay, Slim.
12:41I'll be there.
12:45See you later.
13:05I reckon your gang will ride without you tonight.
13:07I won't.
13:08Drop that gun, quick.
13:18Well, I reckon you got me.
13:34Get him clear, Bates.
13:42Great work, kid.
13:44I told you we wouldn't ride with your gang tonight.
13:48Get on your horses.
13:58I took Slim and Bates to the Wild Boys' cave and tied them up.
14:01And left them there.
14:03While I went to follow the outlaws.
14:06That don't tell me how Slim Johnson was killed.
14:09Robert, stick that devil horse on us like I told you, Sheriff.
14:13There's no use, Bates.
14:16The Wild Boys saw everything.
14:19He's savvy as hell to talk now.
14:23And he can tell the Sheriff just what happened.
14:25Come on, son.
14:27Tell the Sheriff what you saw.
14:30I hear a man in a cave go...
14:35I go see.
14:38He say that he was sick.
14:41And he bend over.
14:44All right, I got him.
14:45Slim, get the knife.
14:47Hurry up, get it.
14:52Hurry!
14:59Quick, Slim, cut me loose.
15:00The devil horse is coming.
15:14Don't make me tie up that black devil.
15:17Don't make me tie you up.
15:47Mr. Allen.
15:48Mr. Allen.
15:52The outlaws are coming, Mr. Allen.
15:53They're after your cattle.
15:55I want the boys.
15:56We'll be ready for them.
16:04He shoot men.
16:05I saw him.
16:06Who are you?
16:08That pledges a case against you, Bates.
16:10I arrest you for the murder of Mark Allen.
16:14That clears you, Weston.
16:16But it don't explain how you're mixed up with the outlaws.
16:19Tell him, Lee.
16:20Tell the Sheriff everything.
16:22Well, you see, Sheriff...
