November 17.
:54:13
The men fought bravely,
but I believe it was my mistake
:54:16
to lead them into a battle
on such arduous terrain.
:54:21
With no natural defencements,
they were unprepared
:54:23
to withstand
such a pitched encounter.
:54:25
I had believed that the numbers
were in our favor.
:54:28
I had believed that the raiders
:54:29
would not be as
well-disciplined
:54:31
as they were.
:54:35
It was a disastrous decision.
:54:45
would you agree with that,
Mr. Dunnison?
:54:50
It's awfully
kind of you, Miss
:54:53
to be taking care of
such wrecks like us.
:54:55
Awfully kind.
:54:56
Well, it must've been hard.
:54:58
Were many young like you?
:55:00
Rest assured, Miss,
we didn't go down
without a fight.
:55:02
I killed two raiders
myself at close range.
:55:04
I may have killed a couple
more in the charge.
:55:09
What were their names?
:55:10
Pardon?
:55:12
you had warrants for them,
I trust.
:55:14
Well, the raiders opened
fire on us, Miss.
:55:16
There wasn't time to
consult the warrants.
:55:18
Well, it's just as well.
:55:19
you know a man's name,
makes it harder
:55:21
to kill him,
now, doesn't it?
:55:22
They're outlaws, Miss.
:55:24
We're Rangers.
:55:26
When you kill a man
for stealing some cattle
:55:28
you are saying that his life
is worth as much as that steer.
:55:31
Leaves you a whole state
full of men thinking that way
:55:33
and treating other men
the same.
:55:35
We ride to protect
the state of Texas.
:55:39
you ride to balance
the blood on the scales.
:55:41
but some of you--
:55:44
like your friend--
:55:46
I look into his eyes,
and I can see it clear.
:55:48
He's no killer.
:55:50
George? you looked in his eyes?
:55:54
George?!
:55:59
Miss.
