1:37:23
Well, we won the battle,
but I lost my job.
1:37:29
Maybe not.
1:37:32
You see, Judge, the Lord
could have struck down the Midianites
1:37:37
and Amalekites easily.
But He didn't do that.
1:37:40
He raised up Gideon to smite them.
An ordinary man like the Marshal.
1:37:45
It's in the Book of Judges, Judge.
- I know where it is, Madam.
1:37:49
Very ingenious defense.
It takes one's breath away.
1:37:53
But I do not believe the Lord has
raised up Gideon at Fort Smith. No.
1:37:59
If he's raised up anything,
I fear it's Rooster.
1:38:02
A willful, strutting old bird,
who paid no attention to the US law.
1:38:07
But he did. I killed that
criminal trash. Not Marshal Cogburn.
1:38:11
He wanted him hung, according to law,
but I couldn't do that. - Silence.
1:38:17
My father's honor was at stake.
1:38:21
Will you take Reuben's word, or mine?
1:38:28
Reuben?
1:38:31
Well, in view of my past experience,
with Reuben, I'll take yours.
1:38:36
Get back on the rails.
1:38:38
This man may pull a cork now and then,
but he's as straight as a string.
1:38:43
He's the best Marshal you have,
worth more than you pay. - Reuben.
1:38:47
You are reinstated, and this court
is recessed and dismissed.
1:38:55
Reinstated.
1:38:59
Congratulations, Marshal.
