旁白:虽然有一天布奇·卡西迪会被称为西方最可怕的坏人,但他原名罗伯特·勒罗伊·帕克,1866 年出生于一个虔诚的摩门教徒家庭。

Ken Verdoia, Journalist: : Mike Cassidy.
肯·维多亚 (Ken Verdoia),记者:迈克·卡西迪 (Mike Cassidy)。
He’s a well-known horseman, and he’s great with a revolver -- an excellent shot and marksman -- and Cassidy takes a liking to little Bobby Parker; teaches him how to really ride a horse, teaches him how to handle a revolver, how to become a good marksman, and more importantly, Mike Cassidy shows him how to cut corners.

Ken Verdoia, Journalist: : If you’re Robert Leroy Parker, you look at your dad, who played by the rules and lost, worked himself to the bone, and had nothing to show for it.
记者肯·维尔多亚:如果你是罗伯特·勒罗伊·帕克,你会看看你的父亲,他遵守规则却输了,他拼尽全力,却没有什么可展示的。
You look at Mike Cassidy, a man who cuts corners, takes a little here, takes a little there, lives by his wits, and is always getting ahead.
你看看迈克·卡西迪,他是一个走捷径的人,这里取一点,那里取一点,依靠自己的智慧生活,并且总是领先。

Hutton, Historian: : Robert Parker goes to a world that couldn’t be more different.
历史学家赫顿:罗伯特·帕克进入了一个截然不同的世界。
This is the wild boomtown world of the mining camp.
这是采矿营地的狂野新兴城市世界。
So a lot of gambling, a lot of drinking, a lot of prostitution, a lot of young men heavily armed and fueled by alcohol.
因此,大量赌博,大量饮酒,大量卖淫,许多年轻人全副武装,酗酒。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : He went in there with a Mormon mind, and within a week or two, I’m sure he’d been in every saloon there, and he learned how to drink with the best of them, and he gambled with the best of them, and he didn’t feel comfortable in Mormon country, but he felt comfortable in Telluride.
汤姆·哈奇(Thom Hatch),作家::他怀着摩门教的心态进入那里,在一两周内,我确信他已经去过那里的每个酒吧,他学会了如何与他们中最好的人一起喝酒,他与他们中最好的人一起赌博,他在摩门教国家感到不舒服,但他在特柳赖德感到舒服。

Paul A.
保罗·A.
Hutton, Historian: : To find yourself, you know, almost like ants, moving through this mountainside and just moving dirt and moving stone for someone else and for someone else’s wealth, I think probably grated on someone like Parker.
历史学家赫顿:你知道,你发现自己几乎像蚂蚁一样,在这座山腰上移动,只是为别人和别人的财富搬运泥土和石头,我想这可能会让像帕克这样的人感到恼火。
Ken Verdoia, Journalist: : Going in the mines each and every day, Robert Parker looks at that as a sucker’s bet.
记者肯·维尔多亚 (Ken Verdoia):罗伯特·帕克每天都在矿井里工作,他认为这是一个愚蠢的赌注。
You’re coming out bone weary.
你出来的时候已经筋疲力尽了。
You could die down there, and what have you earned at the end of the day?
你可能会死在那里,到最后你赚到了什么?
But on the corner is the San Miguel Bank.
但拐角处是生力银行 (San Miguel Bank)。
Narrator: : With the riches being hauled out of the hills ringing Telluride, Parker was sure the local bank was well stocked with tender.
旁白:随着财富从特柳赖德周围的山上被运走,帕克确信当地银行储备了充足的投标书。
For Parker and his two new friends -- a lapsed Mormon named Matt Warner and his ornery brother-in-law Tom McCarty -- the bank was an auspicious target.
对于帕克和他的两个新朋友——一个名叫马特·沃纳的已离去的摩门教徒和他脾气暴躁的姐夫汤姆·麦卡蒂——来说,银行是一个吉祥的目标。
But even in the isolated towns of the west, bank robberies were rarely successful.
但即使在西部偏僻的城镇,银行抢劫案也很少成功。
Most were ill planned, played out at the spur of the moment after too many hours at the saloon.
大多数都是计划不周的,是在酒吧呆了太久之后临时起意进行的。
No sooner had the robbers cleaned out a safe then the townspeople amassed to gun them down.
劫匪刚洗完一个保险箱,镇上的人们就聚集起来开枪射杀他们。
Parker was undeterred by the foreboding odds.
帕克并没有被不祥的可能性吓倒。
Paul A.
保罗·A.
Hutton, Historian: : From the very beginning, he had a methodology.
历史学家赫顿::从一开始,他就有一套方法论。
He wasn’t just one of these wild riders, like the movies make so famous.
他不仅仅是这些狂野骑手中的一员,就像电影中所宣传的那样。
He was very methodical, he was very careful, and he was very intelligent.
他非常有条理,非常细心,而且非常聪明。
Ken Verdoia, Journalist: : Parker knew it’s not just about where the money is, but knowing when it will be at its peak.
记者肯·维多亚 (Ken Verdoia):帕克知道,问题不仅仅在于钱在哪里,还在于知道钱何时会达到顶峰。
When will the cash arrive?
现金什么时候到账?
Who handles the cash?
谁来处理现金?
How many people are in the building at the time when the cash is at its peak?
当现金达到顶峰时,大楼里有多少人?
And more importantly than that, how will I make my escape?
更重要的是,我该如何逃脱?
Narrator: : Just after noon on June 24th, 1889, Parker and his cohorts saddled up alongside the San Miguel Valley Bank.
旁白:1889 年 6 月 24 日中午刚过,帕克和他的同伴们就在圣米格尔河谷岸边备好了马鞍。
They waited until the cashier left, leaving only a single teller inside.

Warner and Parker casually entered the bank and demanded the cash.
华纳和帕克漫不经心地走进银行,索要现金。
Michael Rutter, Writer: : They walk out, and they ride like hell.
迈克尔·拉特(Michael Rutter),编剧::他们走出去,然后拼命骑行。
No one even knows that the bank has been robbed.
甚至没有人知道银行被抢劫了。
Narrator: : By the time a posse was assembled, it was too late.
旁白::当队伍集结起来时,已经太晚了。
Parker’s masterstroke, and what would become his signature technique, was to set up a series of horse relays along the exit route where the outlaws could trade their played out mounts for fresh ones.
帕克的绝招,也是他的标志性技术,是沿着出口路线设置一系列马匹接力站,不法之徒可以将他们用完的坐骑换成新的坐骑。
He figured no posse, no matter how determined, could keep pace with bandits in constant supply of steady horsepower.
他认为,无论多么坚定,任何一支队伍都无法在持续提供稳定马力的情况下与强盗并驾齐驱。
Ken Verdoia, Journalist: : He’s been working days and weeks in advance.
记者 Ken Verdoia:他提前几天甚至几周开始工作。
He’s been storing fresh horses, building alliances with people along the way.
他一直在储存新的马匹,一路上与人们建立联盟。
This is extraordinary planning, and this is the genius of Robert Parker.
这是非凡的计划,这就是罗伯特·帕克的天才。
He had planned the escape even better than he had planned the holdup.
他对逃跑的计划甚至比他对劫持的计划还要好。
Thom Ross, Artist: : This is the first of his great escapades where they wind up with big money.
汤姆·罗斯,艺术家::这是他的第一次伟大冒险,最终他们赚了大钱。
I mean you walk away from a bank with $20,000, you’re looking at what a cowboy might take him five or 10 years to make if he saved every penny.
我的意思是,当你带着 20,000 美元离开银行时,你正在考虑如果一个牛仔把每一分钱都存起来,他可能需要 5 到 10 年才能赚到多少钱。
Michael Rutter, Writer: : This is a serious crime.
迈克尔·鲁特(Michael Rutter),作家:这是一起严重的犯罪行为。
It’s one thing to take a few cows or take a couple horses, but this is big-time robbery.
拿走几头牛或几匹马是一回事,但这是重大抢劫。
There’s no going back.
没有回头路了。
There is no going back.
没有回头路了。
Narrator: : Parker knew his criminal deed would break the heart of his pious mother and decided it was best to deflect shame from his family by changing his name.
旁白:帕克知道他的犯罪行为会让他虔诚的母亲心碎,因此决定最好通过改名来转移家人的耻辱。
He would now honor the influence of his mentor and answer to Butch Cassidy.
现在,他将尊重导师的影响力,并向布奇·卡西迪负责。
On the other side of the country, in the mill town of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, an introverted young boy by the name of Harry Longabaugh could only dream of an adventurous life on the open range.
在这个国家的另一边,宾夕法尼亚州菲尼克斯维尔的磨坊小镇,一个名叫哈利·朗加博的内向小男孩只能梦想着在开阔的牧场上冒险的生活。
Raised in the gray and claustrophobic industrial world of the East, it must have seemed inconceivable that he would one day play a role in one the West’s greatest legends.
他在东方灰色和幽闭的工业世界中长大,他有一天会在西方最伟大的传奇人物之一中扮演一个角色,这似乎是不可想象的。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : Sundance was born Harry Longabaugh about 30 miles north of Philadelphia, and he grew up basically on the canals.
汤姆·哈奇 (Thom Hatch),编剧: :圣丹斯电影节原名哈里·朗加博 (Harry Longabaugh),出生于费城以北约 30 英里的地方,他基本上是在运河边长大的。
He would work probably 20 hours a day sometimes, and he would walk 25 miles each day.
有时他每天大概工作 20 个小时,每天步行 25 英里。
But Harry had dreams.
但哈利有梦想。
He paid one whole dollar for a library card, which was quite a bit of money at that time to a poor boy, and he read these pulp novels about Jesse James and Buffalo Bill.
他花了一美元买了一张借书卡,这在当时对于一个穷孩子来说是一笔不小的钱,他读了这些关于杰西·詹姆斯和布法罗·比尔的通俗小说。
This is where dreams of the West came into his head.
这就是他脑海中的西方梦想。
Paul A.
保罗·A.
Hutton, Historian: : I think it’s difficult to understand today, the lure of adventure that existed in the late 19th century, especially for a young boy like Harry, growing up in Pennsylvania.
历史学家赫顿:我认为今天很难理解 19 世纪末存在的冒险诱惑,特别是对于像哈利这样在宾夕法尼亚州长大的小男孩来说。
The West offered everything that the society of the East seemed to work against.
西方社会提供了东方社会似乎反对的一切。
And a lot of young men went west in search of adventure.
许多年轻人前往西部寻求冒险。

旁白:1882 年,14 岁的隆加博在科罗拉多州科尔特斯市表弟的牧场找到了一份工作,终于有机会实现他的西部梦想。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : Harry Longabaugh learned to be a cowboy.
汤姆·哈奇 (Thom Hatch),编剧:哈利·朗加博 (Harry Longabaugh) 学会了成为一名牛仔。
He also wanted to see what was over the next mountain, just like Butch did, so he took off and went to work for ranches in Wyoming and Montana and actually learned the trade as a wandering cowboy and was well respected.
他也想看看下一座山的另一边有什么,就像布奇一样,所以他出发去怀俄明州和蒙大拿州的牧场工作,实际上作为一名流浪牛仔学习了这一职业,并受到了广泛的尊重。
He would have been probably very happy his whole life working as a cowboy.
作为一名牛仔,他可能会非常幸福地度过一生。
Narrator: : Harry’s cowboying days came to an abrupt halt in the winter of 1887.
旁白::1887 年冬天,哈利的牛仔生涯戛然而止。
A devastating blizzard, from the Canadian border all the way down to southern Colorado, blanketed the western plains in up to 100 feet of snow.

一年后,21 岁的朗加博出狱,并获得了一个新绰号:“圣丹斯小子”。
But he still had few legitimate job prospects.
但他仍然没有什么合法的工作前景。
That’s when he decided to try his hand at what seemed like a sure thing.
就在那时,他决定尝试一下看似确定的事情。
Narrator: : Since the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869, trains had become attractive targets to would-be bandits.
旁白: :自从 1869 年横贯大陆的铁路建成以来,火车就成为了潜在强盗的目标。
Outlaws, like Jesse James and Sam Bass, had made quick work of railroad express cars, usually packed with money and lumbering through remote locations far from local posses.
像杰西·詹姆斯和萨姆·巴斯这样的不法之徒,很快就利用了铁路特快车厢,这些车厢通常装满了钱,在远离当地军队的偏远地区缓慢行驶。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : Most train robberies were successful, everybody knew that.
汤姆·哈奇(Thom Hatch),编剧::大多数火车抢劫都是成功的,每个人都知道这一点。
Banks got a little more difficult, but trains were fairly easy to rob because they hadn’t put armed messengers on them.

They hadn’t taken any precautions whatsoever with security.

旁白::对于圣丹斯和他的伙伴(另外两名失业的牛仔)来说,火车抢劫的理想地点是蒙大拿州的马耳他,这是大北方铁路沿线一个孤立的牛运输仓库。

1892 年 11 月 29 日凌晨,天气寒冷刺骨,凌晨 3 点,大北方号 23 号轮船准时驶入马耳他。
Like a scene straight from one of his dime novels, Sundance and his accomplices slipped onto the train.
就像他的廉价小说中的场景一样,圣丹斯和他的同伙溜上了火车。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : There were two safes on the train, and one of them they didn’t know the combination of; the other one was opened and they basically found nothing.
作家汤姆·哈奇 (Thom Hatch):火车上有两个保险箱,其中一个他们不知道组合;另一个打开了,基本上什么也没发现。
He didn’t realize, I guess, that the banks were closed on Sunday, and so there were no express boxes passing through.
我猜他没有意识到银行周日关门,所以没有快递箱经过。

Thom Ross,艺术家::他们足够体面,不会打扰乘客,但你可能会因此而被绞死,三个人每人拿走 8.33 美元。
It’s almost as if the railroad pulled one on top of them.
就好像铁路把一个人拉到了他们身上。
Daniel Buck, Writer: : His accomplices went back to the town they’d been hanging around in before the holdup, and they were recognized and they ratted Sundance out.
丹尼尔·巴克(编剧):他的同伙回到了抢劫前他们一直闲逛的小镇,他们被认出来了,然后他们就出卖了圣丹斯电影节。

旁白::抢劫发生几天后,一张详细描述圣丹斯电影节的通缉海报悬赏 500 美元抓捕他。
Now a wanted man, Sundance retreated to the safety of the desolate canyons and mountain valleys that ran across the west, a hostile landscape where few lawmen would dare to follow.
现在,圣丹斯是一名通缉犯,他撤退到了西部荒凉的峡谷和山谷的安全地带,这是一片充满敌意的风景,很少有执法者敢于跟随。

A lot of places there’s only one way in, so it’s easy to guard, it’s easy to see who’s coming, and so these become natural fortifications for the outlaw bands to hide in.
很多地方只有一条路,所以很容易把守,很容易看出来者是谁,所以这些就成了不法分子藏身的天然工事。
And if you’re a lawman, and especially if you’re just a civilian posse, you’re not going in there.
如果你是一名执法人员,特别是如果你只是一支平民队伍,你就不会进去。
It’s suicide.
这是自杀。
Narrator: : The steep canyons and unforgiving terrain that made up a 1,500 mile stretch of wilderness that ran from northern Montana all the way to New Mexico was known as The Outlaw Trail.
旁白: 陡峭的峡谷和严酷的地形构成了从蒙大拿州北部一直延伸到新墨西哥州长达 1,500 英里的荒野,被称为“亡命之徒小径”。
The hideouts there were notorious -- with names like Robber’s Roost, Hole in the Wall, and Browns Park in Colorado -- a lush valley enclosed by formidable mountains.
那里的藏身之处臭名昭著,比如“强盗栖息地”、“墙上的洞”和科罗拉多州的布朗斯公园——这是一个被雄伟山脉包围的郁郁葱葱的山谷。
By 1890, Browns Park was home to a handful of western outlaws including Butch Cassidy.
到 1890 年,布朗公园已成为包括布奇·卡西迪 (Butch Cassidy) 在内的少数西部亡命之徒的家园。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : I believe he had decided that a life of larceny was where he was going to be for the rest of his life, whether it was stealing horses, which he was very good at, or robbing trains or robbing banks.
作家汤姆·哈奇:我相信他已经决定,他的余生都会过着盗窃的生活,无论是他非常擅长的偷马,还是抢劫火车或抢劫银行。
So he needed people around him.

At some point, Sundance started hanging out in that area.

They had a lot in common.

They loved to drink.

Hutton, Historian: : Butch and Sundance seem in many ways to be opposites.
历史学家赫顿::布奇和圣丹斯在很多方面似乎都是对立的。
As outgoing, and gregarious, happy-go-lucky as Butch is, Sundance is much more taciturn.
与布奇一样外向、合群、无忧无虑,圣丹斯却沉默寡言得多。
He’s much quieter, much more potentially dangerous.
他更安静,也更有潜在危险。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : Butch saw in Sundance someone he could trust, number one, and number two, someone he could bounce his ideas off of, and they would go nowhere else.
汤姆·哈奇(Thom Hatch),编剧:布奇在圣丹斯看到了一个他可以信任的人,第一,第二,他可以向他提出自己的想法,而他们不会去其他地方。
Narrator: : Before long, other desperadoes, like Sundance, were flocking to the methodical Cassidy, eager to embrace him as both a teacher and a leader.
旁白:不久之后,其他亡命之徒,比如圣丹斯电影节,纷纷涌向有条不紊的卡西迪,渴望把他视为老师和领导者。
Thom Hatch, Writer: : People had heard about Butch and his masterminding, probably of Telluride.
汤姆·哈奇(Thom Hatch),编剧::人们听说过布奇和他的策划,可能是特柳赖德。
These guys were more “quick draw.” They were more of the henchmen type.
这些人更“快速抽奖”。他们更像是追随者类型。
They weren’t very good at planning a bank robbery or planning a train robbery, and so they needed someone.
他们不太擅长策划银行抢劫或火车抢劫,所以他们需要有人。
Narrator: : Cassidy, Sundance and the rogue’s gallery of some 20 men that now made up the Wild Bunch set off from The Outlaw Trail, targeting banks and mining companies that were springing up across the West.
旁白:卡西迪、圣丹斯和由大约 20 名歹徒组成的“狂野帮”从亡命之徒小道出发,目标是西部地区涌现的银行和矿业公司。
In August of 1896, Cassidy, and gang members Bubb Meeks and Elzy Lay knocked off the bank in Montpelier, Idaho.
1896 年 8 月,卡西迪与帮派成员巴布·米克斯 (Bubb Meeks) 和埃尔齐·莱 (Elzy Lay) 捣毁了爱达荷州蒙彼利埃的银行。
One year later, Sundance and five other men robbed the Butte County Bank in Belle Fourche, South Dakota.

And Butch and his crew boldly held up the payroll of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company in Castle Gate, Utah.
布奇和他的团队大胆地保留了犹他州城堡盖特普莱森特谷煤炭公司的工资单。
Most of the holdups had the markings of a Butch Cassidy caper: impeccable execution, breathless escapes and not a single dead body.
大多数劫案都带有“布奇·卡西迪”的犯罪特征:完美的执行力、气喘吁吁的逃跑,而且没有一具尸体。
Ken Verdoia, Journalist: : Butch understood one simple premise.
记者 Ken Verdoia::布奇明白一个简单的前提。
He didn’t have to kill people.
他不必杀人。
Some would go into a robbery and kill just to silence voices.
有些人会为了平息声音而进行抢劫和杀人。
Butch said, "If my getaway is clean enough, I don’t have to silence voices."
布奇说:“如果我的逃亡足够干净,我就不必压制声音。”
Narrator: : In between jobs the Wild Bunch retreated to the isolated hideouts of the Outlaw Trail, where they openly enjoyed the spoils of their misdeeds, drinking, gambling and spending time with free-spirited women.
旁白::在工作间隙,“狂野帮”撤退到亡命之徒小径的偏僻藏身处,在那里他们公开享受自己的罪行所带来的战利品,酗酒、赌博,并与自由奔放的女性共度时光。
They had allies in the locals -- mostly family ranchers who were being pushed from their land by big time corporate cattle barons.
他们在当地人中拥有盟友——大多数是家庭牧场主,他们被大型企业养牛大亨从自己的土地上赶走。
These ranchers were natural sympathizers with bandits who were making a living picking the pockets of moneyed businessmen.
这些牧场主天生同情土匪,他们靠扒窃富商的腰包为生。
Ken Verdoia, Journalist: : Along the Outlaw Trail, you have the people that become the backbone of the Wild Bunch.
记者肯·维尔多亚 (Ken Verdoia):沿着亡命之徒小径,你会看到成为“狂野帮”的骨干力量的人。
They’re the ones who provide the horses, they’re the ones that offer a meal when they are on the run.
他们提供马匹,他们在逃跑时提供食物。
These are the people that, many times, are able to keep their farms or their ranches because of a few $20 gold pieces that are dropped behind by Butch and Sundance as they make their way.
很多时候,这些人之所以能够保住自己的农场或牧场,是因为布奇和圣丹斯在他们前进的过程中掉落了一些 20 美元的金币。
Michael Rutter, Writer: : Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had everybody helping them.
迈克尔·鲁特(Michael Rutter),编剧:《布奇·卡西迪和圣丹斯小子》得到了每个人的帮助。
They are robbing the large mining companies and banks.
他们正在抢劫大型矿业公司和银行。
So I think this endears them to the small rancher and small farmer.
所以我认为这让他们受到小牧场主和小农民的喜爱。
And so what happens here is this mythology starts to build up and becomes almost larger than life.
所以这里发生的事情是这个神话开始建立并变得几乎比生活更大。
Narrator: : By 1898 news of Wild Bunch robberies began to make national headlines.
旁白: : 1898 年,Wild Bunch 抢劫案开始成为全国头条新闻。
Newspapers from San Francisco to New York were calling Butch the “boss bad man of the West.” Reporters painted sensationalized, dime novel-worthy stories of Cassidy and his gang that was said to include 500 men.
从旧金山到纽约的报纸都称布奇为“西方的坏人老大”。记者们描绘了卡西迪和他的团伙的耸人听闻的故事,据说这个团伙有 500 人。
Soon it seemed that there wasn’t a crime west of the Mississippi that couldn’t be pegged on Butch Cassidy and his roving band of desperadoes.

Narrator: : Just as Butch and Sundance started to have success in the robbing business, the once wild and free West was being transformed.

By the turn of the century, corporations growing tired of being robbed by Western outlaws had a powerful ally to turn to for help, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.
到了世纪之交,厌倦了被西方不法之徒抢劫的企业有了一个强大的盟友可以寻求帮助,那就是平克顿国家侦探社。
Founded 50 years earlier by Scottish immigrant Allan Pinkerton, the agency was America’s first private detective outfit for hire.
该机构由苏格兰移民艾伦·平克顿 (Allan Pinkerton) 于 50 年前创立,是美国第一家雇佣私人侦探机构。
His logo, a single unblinking eye underlined by the words “we never sleep,” would add a new term to the American lexicon: private eye.
他的标志是一只一眨不眨的眼睛,下划线是“我们从不睡觉”,这为美国词典增添了一个新术语:私家侦探。
Pinkerton pioneered the use of undercover agents and webs of informants, and during the Civil War he was even tapped by Abraham Lincoln to run spy operations for the Union army.
平克顿开创了使用卧底特工和线人网络的先河,在内战期间,他甚至被亚伯拉罕·林肯指派为联邦军队开展间谍活动。
Now Allan Pinkerton’s son William was heading the firm’s Western operation, which was humming with business from the bankers’ association, railroads, and express car companies.
现在,艾伦·平克顿 (Allan Pinkerton) 的儿子威廉 (William) 负责领导该公司的西部业务,银行家协会、铁路和快运汽车公司的业务蓬勃发展。

And they get called out to bring justice to the American West.

What was he most commonly seen dressed in?

And their agents and officers are constantly on the telegraphs, sending back messages and receiving information on where the bad guys are.
他们的特工和官员不断地通过电报发回消息并接收有关坏人所在位置的信息。
Daniel Buck, Writer: : The Pinkertons embodied the modern age.

And because of the dynamite blowing it up, a whole bunch of the bills had cuts on the bottom, and so they knew if they got one of the bills that had a cut in this certain way it was from this robbery.
由于炸药将其炸毁,一大堆钞票的底部都有切口,所以他们知道如果他们得到一张有这种切口的钞票,那就是来自这次抢劫。
