Oh, I thought the men I need shirtclers?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
What about them?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
You think men such as ease you know, wladies and
robberies and such like. You think they'd be easy to spot?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Oh they are when they're working.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Well, now that ain't what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I mean you think you could tell just by looking
at him? I can't, Oh now, mister, don't. I'm talking
about when they're just walking around town easy like like
they was having a day off. Why then you couldn't
hardly tell one of them clips from anybody else.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Or not if you're lucky.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I'm sure they loved spokes in this town. That's worth
looking than needs men are not.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
You take a little cash, for instance, and tell all
that he ain't none too, because look at either them too.
I said, I want to talk to you, okay, Doc, Matt,
I want you to stop a murderer.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
What murder, Tom Burr? You gotta do something about it, Matt,
Big Tom? Why who do you want to kill? A
real nice fellow like him?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
All right, Douglas is all about But you know how
Tom is.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Whenever he gets drunk, he starts talking about his fighting
days back in San Francisco.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Somebody's gonna kill him for that.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm afraid he's gonna work out that way, Matt. Joe
Brady and Hobclay brought him this fire and say, lookie
from an im crew. They've got Tom to agree to
fight him tonight. There's a lot of betting going on.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Well, what makes it murder?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Doc? If Tom burd fights one round, it'll kill him.
I've just examined him.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I know.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Why didn't you tell him not to fight? I did not?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I did. But he's as stubbing as he is sick.
He says he's got to show up and fight.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Even if it all be the end of him.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
It doesn't make sense, well, not to you, not to me,
but but it does to Tom.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It seems this crew will beat him once before, and
beat him bad.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
He's never been able to forget it, and he's determined
to make up for it.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Now. What can I do do?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Stop at night?
Speaker 8 (14:05):
I might like to dog, but I don't see how
I can. There's no law against the prize.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
What is the law against murderers?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
The rug doc? I have a hard enough time thing
the things the law authorises me that you can lock
him up and from the fights over what's he done?
Speaker 10 (14:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Man?
Speaker 10 (14:21):
All right, you get a chance to stop killing before
it starts.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
And you tell me to get the law or what's
the lawful? Means? Young old ducks? I did stomp out
of here, mad, didn't he?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
He's me, he means just a little bit unreasonable.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Maybe he's a right at that chester that's a good question.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
What's the law for.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
Burr? Tom Burr?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Oh, Hugh Marshall, come on in, thanks said down Marshall.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
They tell me you were talking pretty loud and was
swinging pretty wide in the Long Branch last night while
there was nothing to that. You know how it is, Marshall.

He fights foul and cruel, and he laughs about it.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He laughed at me once, Marshall. I gotta fight him, not.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
Tonight, you Marshall, you're rigging this thing against me. You
got no right to hold me. You're gonna take me

locked up.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
No collar, dude, not a sorry, boys, but that's the
way it is.

Answer to me, like the Marshals getting a little meddlesome.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
So I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
More part pretty big about my kind of fighting, especially
when he's wearing his gun.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
He's got a gun, has nothing to do with a
creole and the kind of dirty tricks you use having
anything to do with an honest fighting.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
There, you take off your gun and I'll cut you
to ribbons for that, Marshall. I understand that's one of
your specialists.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And hiding behind that gun is one of yours. Looks
like you have a Marshall with a stripe down his
black boys.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And the guns off. Crill.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Uh, Sam, m Harold's funny when he was sure Marshalls

I can't rightly be quiet tonight, Doc, hack, I gotta

Speaker 8 (12:15):
Oh, I thought the men I need shirtclers?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
What about them?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
You think men such as ease you know, wladies and
robberies and such like. You think they'd be easy to spot?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Oh they are when they're working.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Well, now that ain't what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I mean you think you could tell just by looking
at him? I can't, Oh now, mister, don't. I'm talking
about when they're just walking around town easy like like
they was having a day off. Why then you couldn't
hardly tell one of them clips from anybody else.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Or not if you're lucky.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I'm sure they loved spokes in this town. That's worth
looking than needs men are not.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
You take a little cash, for instance, and tell all
that he ain't none too, because look at either them too.
I said, I want to talk to you, okay, Doc, Matt,
I want you to stop a murderer.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
What murder, Tom Burr? You gotta do something about it, Matt,
Big Tom? Why who do you want to kill? A
real nice fellow like him?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
All right, Douglas is all about But you know how
Tom is.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Whenever he gets drunk, he starts talking about his fighting
days back in San Francisco.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Somebody's gonna kill him for that.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm afraid he's gonna work out that way, Matt. Joe
Brady and Hobclay brought him this fire and say, lookie
from an im crew. They've got Tom to agree to
fight him tonight. There's a lot of betting going on.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Well, what makes it murder?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Doc? If Tom burd fights one round, it'll kill him.
I've just examined him.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I know.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Why didn't you tell him not to fight? I did not?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I did. But he's as stubbing as he is sick.
He says he's got to show up and fight.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Even if it all be the end of him.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
It doesn't make sense, well, not to you, not to me,
but but it does to Tom.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It seems this crew will beat him once before, and
beat him bad.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
He's never been able to forget it, and he's determined
to make up for it.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Now. What can I do do?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Stop at night?
Speaker 8 (14:05):
I might like to dog, but I don't see how
I can. There's no law against the prize.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
What is the law against murderers?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
The rug doc? I have a hard enough time thing
the things the law authorises me that you can lock
him up and from the fights over what's he done?
Speaker 10 (14:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Man?
Speaker 10 (14:21):
All right, you get a chance to stop killing before
it starts.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
And you tell me to get the law or what's
the lawful? Means? Young old ducks? I did stomp out
of here, mad, didn't he?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
He's me, he means just a little bit unreasonable.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Maybe he's a right at that chester that's a good question.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
What's the law for.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
Burr? Tom Burr?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Oh, Hugh Marshall, come on in, thanks said down Marshall.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Just wait last week these things off that chair.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Uh never mind, Tom, I uh, I want you to
come along with me.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Come along with way Marshall back to Dodge. You mean
you come to give me, That's right, Tom, I came
to get you. Why, Marshall, I ain't done nothing. I
ain't no law breaking.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You know that.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
They tell me you were talking pretty loud and was
swinging pretty wide in the Long Branch last night while
there was nothing to that. You know how it is, Marshall.
Man gets a little too much bad liquor in him
once in a while, and it makes my foolish.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
I was like breaking the paste to me. Not a
long time.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Catch your horse now, listen to Marshall. I I just
can't go get myself locked up this afternoon.

horse time.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
You don't know there's Creel Marshall. He beats folks to
death because he likes to eat.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
He fights foul and cruel, and he laughs about it.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He laughed at me once, Marshall. I gotta fight him, not.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
Tonight, you Marshall, you're rigging this thing against me. You
got no right to hold me. You're gonna take me
on time.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I ain't going to don't jail all that.
Speaker 3 (17:00):

Speaker 8 (18:41):
I ain't your affair more. Let the Marshall talk, boys,
this might be really interesting. I want to be a
fight because Pere won't be here.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
I told you up somebody else.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I knew he'd be afraid to meet me again.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
Not afraid. He's not showing up because he's in jail.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Listen, boy, the Marshalls top the five, you get more
locked up.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
No collar, dude, not a sorry, boys, but that's the
way it is.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Answer to me, like the Marshals getting a little meddlesome.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
So I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
More part pretty big about my kind of fighting, especially
when he's wearing his gun.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
He's got a gun, has nothing to do with a
creole and the kind of dirty tricks you use having
anything to do with an honest fighting.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
There, you take off your gun and I'll cut you
to ribbons for that, Marshall. I understand that's one of
your specialists.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And hiding behind that gun is one of yours. Looks
like you have a Marshall with a stripe down his
black boys.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And the guns off. Crill.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Uh, Sam, m Harold's funny when he was sure Marshalls

Speaker 8 (22:33):
And don't you worry about it. Tom Crell won't be
back here.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
You fought the Marshall.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
