Judge Wood : Hart wasn't an outlaw to start. Fact is, he taught school here and we all liked him. Now at about that time, my son Henry and the sheriff's kid brother Jim were helping slaves escape from Missouri.
Captain Alan Westcott : Your son?
Judge Wood : Yes. Hart said he wanted to help, saying that he was all for the Union. But we were tipped off that what he really intended to do was to betray our set-up to Southern bushwhackers. I don't understand how men can play both sides. You?
Captain Alan Westcott : Uh, peace time? No, Judge, I can't. But, uh, when there's a war, I guess... guess a man does what he's told.
