1
It's October 5th, 1892.
2
In the bottom left corner of the relatively new state of Kansas, lies the small town of Coffeyville.
3
A place with a population of roughly 2000 rowdy Americans.
4
The setting is classic Wild West.
5
And nothing is more Wild Westy than a good old bank-high story.
6
In the middle of broad daylight, the notorious Dalton brothers are about to make their move.
7
The plan is simple.
8
Step 1.
9
Welcome to the bank.
10
Step 2.
11
Grab the money.
12
It's as watertight as a plant can get.
13
No, no, no, that's too boring, says Bob, the oldest Dalton brother and leader of the group.
14
We have to make a name for ourselves, guys.
15
We need to pull something off that beats anything Jesse James ever did.
16
See, why rob one bank when you can rob two?
17
You do realize we are only like five people, right, big bro?
18
If anything happens, just scream across the road and we'll run over to help.
19
Alright, off we go!
20
This is the dumbest heist in history.
21
He said the thing!
22
Historically Facts, Part 9 So before we dive head first into the absolute circus that was this heist,
23
let's get a quick history lesson on our ambitious robbers.
24
The Dalton brothers, Bob, Gret, Emmet and their lesser known accomplices Dick and Bill, actually started out on the straight and narrow side of life.
25
They even joined law enforcement as deputies, believe it or not, chasing outlaws themselves themselves.
26
Their older brother Frank has been a respected deputy marshal too, until he was gunned down by some whiskey runners.
27
After that, the younger Daltons took one look at the law, went, nah we're good and jumped to the other side.
28
Also, it turns out that chasing bandits pays like dirt.
29
But being one, that's where their real money's at.
30
Who would have guessed?
31
Thus began their illustrious career as cattle rustlers, train robbers and general nuisances across the American midwest.
32
Eventually the brothers made enough noise to earn their spots as wanted poster celebrities, becoming notorious enough to believe their own hype.
33
And that's exactly what led them to this absolutely genius idea.
34
Fast forward back to the heist day.
35
The Dalton boys were ready to achieve criminal immortality.
36
Bob's fool proof plan went as follows.
37
Bob and Emmet Dalton would hit the first national bank.
38
Meanwhile, Greth Dalton, Bill Powers and Dick Broadwell would stroll cashly into the Condon Bank, right across the street.
39
Now obviously, if your master plan to escape financial stress involves robbing two banks in your own hometown, you might want to reconsider your options.
40
Fortunately for you my friend, there is a smarter, less felony prone solution.
41
BDS Debt, the partner of this video.
42
Do you ever look at your bank account and think, wow, red sure is a nice color?
43
Yeah, that's called debt.
44
And it's not your fault.
45
Credit card debt, medical bills, student loans.
46
It's like the system is designed to keep your broken purpose.
47
But there is a way out.
48
PDS Debt has already helped over 100,000 people escape Debt.
49
And they are not some shady scam in a basement.
50
They've got an A-plus rating from the BBB and thousands of 5-star reviews.
51
They will make you a custom plan built around your life, not someone else's spreadsheet.
52

53
At around 9.30am, dressed in totally inconspicuous fake beards and moustaches that fooled precisely no one, the brothers began their legendary heist.
54
The gang tied up their horses in a nearby alleyway and approached the two banks with their guns drawn, once again in broad daylight.
55
It shouldn't come as a surprise to you
56
that five Gandalf lookalikes walking aggressively towards the local banks while wielding Winchesters and revolvers scream suspicion to the townsfolk.
57
Also, I forgot to mention this before, but the Daltons literally grew up in this town.
58
Everyone instantly recognized them.
59
Nice beard, Rob.
60
Love the stash, Emmet.
61
Wait a minute.
62
You guys aren't.
63
The Dalton brothers are robbing the banks!
64
With their covers blown before the heist even started, war it spread like wildfire.
65
And mind you, this is the Wild West.
66
No insurance policy if your precious gold gets stolen from the bank.
67
If your gold is gone, it's really gone.
68
In the eyes of the townsfolk, the Daltons weren't just robbing the banks, they were robbing the townsfolk.
69
The people rushed towards the banks to check if the rumors were really true.
70
Gosh darn Delhi, they really are robbing us.
71
Anyone brought a gun?
72
You know why it's important to scout a bank before robbing it?
73
This is why.
74
There was a hardware store right next door to the banks, practically overflowing with firearms and ammunition.
75
Launch people from stable owners to shopkeepers rushed into the hardware store quickly arming themselves with rifles, pistols and shotguns.
76
Within minutes an angry heavily armed mob awaited the robbers outside.
77
Meanwhile the Daltons were blissfully unaware.
78
The trio inside the condon bank, Grat, Dick and Bill rushed into the vault that was by sheer luck open.
79
Unfortunately the gold was in a secondary safe within that vault that was locked with a 10 minute timer.
80
That wasn't true by the way, the manager of the bank made it up.
81
But the Daltons, in their Omega brain, believed the guy and decided to wait 10 minutes for the safe to unlock.
82
Seriously?
83
None of you has the bright idea to just try to unlock the damn thing to see
84
if what he says is true?
85
And none of you starts to feel a bit anxious that the streets are eerily quiet?
86
Okay.
87
On the other side of the street, Emmett and Bob Dalton were a bit more successful.
88
They tied down the officers and customers and forced the employees to yank the vault and safes open.
89
Instantly they put the gold and cash and sacks on their back.
90
And just like that they were ready to move out.
91
They grabbed the officer and using him as body cover they slowly walked out the front door.
92
Their plan was to cross the street, meet up with Gret and together head back to the horses.
93
Not sure how they would get through the crowd, but yeah.
94
Before they got to leave the bank though, a banker hiding outside emerges from cover and starts to unload his revolver towards the duo.
95
Big bro, I don't think going this way is a wise decision.
96
Perhaps we should retreat through the back door instead.
97
You make an excellent suggestion little bro.
98
By utilizing the back door and avoiding the main street, we minimize the chance of us getting shot.
99
Let us retreat back into the bank and try this new plan.
100
Back to the trio, while they were patiently waiting for the safe to open, they heard the volley of gunshots at the opposite side of the street
101
and rushed out of the vault to see what was happening.
102
Knock knock and they also got a volley of gunshots flying through the door and windows.
103
I know we are actively getting shot at and the longer we wait our window to escape gets narrower, but I really like gold.
104
At the National Bank, Emmet and Bob kick open the back door and with a new body shield escape into the alley.
105
A young, courageous lad jumps from behind the corner, whips out a revolver and orders the two Daltons to surrender.
106
Umm, no?
107
You surrender or we will shoot.
108
No, my righteous heart and God forgive me, I cannot let you wo- We don't have time for this, let's go.
109
Bob and Emmet then made their way to the end of the back alley
110
and peeked over to spot the massive crowd unloading their guns into the Condon bank.
111
They also spotted an older male holding a Winchester, intensely aiming at the front door of the National Bank.
112
It was clear that he was trying to get the jump on the two brothers
113
when they would eventually reveal themselves at the front door for the second time.
114
Love the enthusiasm, but their building has some more doors, pal.
115
Holy cow!
116
Don't pick up that gun, fella.
117
The third victim of Bob Dalton dies to another headshot.
118
The officer who was left outside on the sidewalk saw the two civilians getting shot
119
and ran over to the next door hardware store to score himself a rifle too.
120
He then took the nastiest angle in all of shootings history and waited for the Daltons to cross the street.
121
But then, and I swear to god I don't know how Bob keeps doing this,
122
somehow he notices the slight reflection of the gun as he crosses the street and at an impressive 200 feet away, he taps the officer in the head.
123
How do you keep doing this?
124
The two then quickly dash the street, their gunfire masked by the insane gun volley being unloaded into the condom bank.
125
In that bank, by the way, the trio occasionally shot back to make sure the crowds didn't start to feel comfortable enough to enter the place.
126
But aside from that, there wasn't really much they could do.
127
Worse even, Bill got shot in his arm and was bleeding like crazy.
128
Bill!
129
Dick!
130
Forget the gold!
131
We stay here one minute longer and we'll be dead before that save opens!
132
Stash your pockets with cash and get ready to dash away!
133
Then, surprising the townsfolk, the trio all jumped out of cover, shooting back, forcing the crowd to take cover themselves.
134
Using this window of opportunity, the crew ran out the side door, dashing towards the horses.
135
What in Cornsdale Denny is happening in my town?
136
Alright, just a bit further lads.
137
If I'm not mistaken, my brother should be just around the corner.
138
We'll make it, I'm sure of it.
139
Nani?
140
Bakanaga, come on!
141
Let's get out of here, now!
142
Where's the darn money, you mongrels?
143
And where's my brother?
144
Before that question got answered though, the townsfolk caught up at the end of the alley.
145
My sweet lord.
146
Fire!
147
Bob was the first to receive judgment.
148
First by a round hitting his head and a second round piercing his heart, leaving him dead on the spot.
149
Bill, with one arm heavily bleeding, attempts to mount his horse, but he too gets mowed down by the angry townsfolk.
150
The youngest brother Emmet, together with Dick on the other hand, managed to slide on their horses and dash away.
151
But Emmet, looking back, Dick bro!
152
Emmet turned back instantly and attempted to mount his brother on the back of his horse.
153
But before he could do so, he was struck by a buckshot round in the back, leaving him too in the dirt.
154
Dick continues to escape away, but doing so catches a couple bullets in his upper back.
155
He was found dead two miles west, still on top of his horse.
156
A couple miles more west, another brother of the Daltons, Bill Dalton, was waiting with additional horses to assist the gang's escape.
157
But after getting tired from waiting, he went home, learning later of what happened of his brothers.
158
Each gang member, aside from one, got killed.
159
The one who survived?
160
The one with 23 gunshot wounds.
161
Emmet Dalton.
162
He was in a life threatening situation, yet managed to survive the shootout.
163
He was nursed back to health and sent to prison for the rest of his tiny life.
164
Though he did get pardoned 14 years later, where he then turned to being an actor.
165
Notably he played as a bandit oddlaw.
166
Once a bandit, always a bandit, eh?
167
And that is how the notorious Dalton gang met their demise in Covifil with their poorly planned, overly ambitious double heist.
168
Emmett was asked in his later life why the gang did such a ridiculous stunt.
169
And he answered that while his older brother wanted fame, they were most afraid of a certain deputy marshal named Heck Thomas.
170
He had been hunting the gang to such extent
171
that they felt forced to pull up such a big stunt to make enough money to leave the territory.
172
And they were right.
173
Bill Dalton, the last Dalton criminal, was ultimately hunted down as the brothers predicted and shot dead in a shootout with the marshals.
174
And so one question remains.
175
What must their mother be thinking at home?

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
