All language subtitles for Maverick s03e06 A Tale of Three Cities

Open up, Hampton. Why don't you come in
and get me, Hardy?

Get up the loft.

Me? Get going.

You're outnumbered, Hampton.

You got nothing to win staying in there.

I don't figure I'm such a big winner by
coming out.

Use your imagination.

A

Warner

Brothers television production.

Eight hundred dollars. That's correct.
Down to the last penny, sir.

And thank you, gentlemen, for a most
pleasant and profitable evening.

Good night.

This is as far as you go, mister.

Well, that was a short walk.

Now, keep looking straight ahead and put
your arms in the air, please.

I'm glad you said please.

Your wallet now.

I must say, if you have to be robbed,
this is the way to do it.

Is this all?

You sound like you're the one that's
being robbed.

What kind of a poker player are you? I
was considered quite good by the

gentleman who used to own most of that
$800.

I expected a lot more.

If I'd known you were waiting, I might
have stayed in the game a little longer.

But if you're disappointed, you can
always return the money.

I will eventually. I'm considering this
alone.

Then I might warn you my interest rates
are high, 6%. I'll remember that.

I know this isn't a brand new question,
but... How did a nice girl like

you ever get into this line of work?

That's a long story, and I don't have
time to tell it. Now, you count 20 to

yourself, and don't turn around, because
I'll be backing away from you.

Good morning, Sheriff.

We don't allow no borders here,
Maverick, excepting inside.

I came here as a law -abiding citizen,
Sheriff. I want to report a robbery.

You want to report a robbery? What do
you call what you were doing to the

last night?

That was the mayor?

Yeah. Well, you sure elected a very poor
poker player. Nevertheless, I was

robbed last night.

You was robbed?

Yes, sir, by a young lady, a very
shapely young lady, as far as I could

but she took everything I had.

So I came here to see if you wouldn't
find her and get my money back.

We got dozens of shapely young ladies
here in Gold Flats, and it'll take more

than a week to search them all.

I can't think of a better way to spend
the time.

Only you don't have the time to spend,
because there's a stagecoach going

through here at 10 .30 a .m. this
morning, and you are going to be on it.

Sorry I can't oblige, Sheriff, but you
see, the young lady forgot to leave me

stage fare.

The town will be glad to pay the
freight.

She also forgot to leave me breakfast
money.

You're breaking my heart.

Now, look, Sheriff, a man wins in an
honest game of cards and then goes out

gets robbed and you do nothing about it.

You run this town like that mayor plays
poker.

Maverick, you better start yapping or
I'm going to throw you and one

there. Good. I understand you're on the
American plan here.

Meals with the room.

But after thinking it over, jail's too
good for you.

I'll just settle for throwing you out of
town.

How far are you planning on throwing me,
Sheriff?

One stop away from here is all we can
afford to spend.

And that's a little town called
Brotherly.

Brotherly? Sounds mighty friendly.

Once you're there, you'll wish you was
here, right in jail.

They got a tough sheriff there. And they
don't allow no gambling, never.

Well, I'll try to make my stay a short
one.

Don't make no difference to me so long
as you don't head back this way.

Excuse me, sir.

Thank you.

Good morning, Beulah.

Here's your breakfast, Sheriff. Thank
you, ma 'am.

up a chair you know i hate you alone

you can watch

Allow me.

May I?

By all means.

Thank you, young man. You're a
gentleman.

Thank you.

My name is Maverick. Bart Maverick.

I'm Mrs. Hannah Adams.

Mrs. Adams?

Do you travel much?

Only when I have to.

I shudder to think what would have
happened if you hadn't been on this

I shudder myself.

I think I know who he is.

You do?

I've been visiting my sister in gold
flats.

Last night the mayor was cheated out of
a large sum of money at poker.

You don't say.

I believe we have a card shop among us.

You may be right.

I feel no pity for a man like that.

Money gotten that way can only lead to
unhappiness.

You are so right, Mrs. Adams.

Thank heaven I don't have to suffer his
company much longer. I'm getting off at

Brotherly. Brotherly is my stop, too.

How nice.

What brings you to Brotherly? Business,
I presume.

No, it's a legal matter, really.

You're an attorney?

No, but I have many dealings with the
law.

Oh.

Oh, you like brotherly.

I had to hurry back today for the
ladies' aid luncheon.

We meet every Thursday.

Of course, it's really more of a cooking
contest than a meeting.

How interesting.

Each of the ladies brings in her
specialty.

How very interesting.

May I make a confession?

Well, if it would do you some good, of
course.

There, but for the grace of the good
Lord, go I.

No. Yes, ma 'am. I was once a gambler.
And believe me, it's just as you said.

It leads to nothing but unhappiness.

Oh, you poor boy.

There were women, too, I suppose.

One in particular.

Tell me more.

Well, we don't have time now, but I
could speak on the subject for hours.

You could?

As I have before gatherings all over the
West.

Remarkable.

I wonder if I could persuade you.

That is, I wonder if I could presume to
ask you to speak before the ladies.

Oh, please, Mr. Maverick, there'd be no
fee, but... Mrs. Adams, food prepared

with tender care is fee enough.

Mr. Maverick.

Just leave my bag at the office. I'll
pick it up later.

Yes, ma 'am.

We'd better get over to the luncheon.

Traveling makes me so ravenous I could
eat a horse.

Well, if it's on the menu, I will.

Sir! Sir Potty!

How's the trip, Henry? Same as usual.

Take a look at the dude with Ms. Adams.

Who is he?

Name's Bart Maverick.

Murray ran him out of gold flats this
month for clipping the mayor in a poker

game.

That's no concern of mine.

Any man's welcome around here as long as
he behaves himself.

And I don't have a wanted poster on him.

But I'll keep an eye on him.

If he steps out of line, he goes to
jail.

That's the law.

And that's that

As soon as you've finished, I'll
introduce you.

I hope you're enjoying yourself.

How could I help it? Such a delightful
lunch and surrounded by such lovely

ladies.

Mrs. Adams, that young lady right in
front of us, the one in the yellow

who is she?

You have an eye for quality.

That's Stephanie Malone.

She's the sweetest girl in town.

Must be quite a town.

We have a special treat for you today,
girl, so I suggest we dispense with the

usual business.

Now, as you all know, we've worked very
hard to make Brotherly a clean and

decent town.

At the same time, we should be reminded
of the dangers that lurk everywhere.

Our speaker, Mr.

Maverick, is a stranger to our town, but
he is no stranger to corruption.

So without further ado, I'll give him
the floor.

He's going to speak to us on the evils
of gambling.

Mr. Maverick.

Mrs. Adams, lovely ladies.

First, I must thank you for that
sumptuous lunch.

It's one I'll never forget.

I don't suppose that any of you ladies
has ever been a crooked gambler.

Or a thief.

But there was a time when I was both.

Oh, yes, ladies, yes, it's true.

Until one day, my old pappy, my dear old
father came to me and said, Son, shun

the roulette wheel as though it were the
devil's own turntable.

Get out and work with your hands, he
said.

And I did.

And from that day on, I have worked with
my hand.

And so I leave you ladies with this one
parting thought from my dear old father,

who said, son, there's only one way to
throw dice, and that's to throw them

away.

Marvelous, Mr. Maverick. What a lucky
happenstance it was to have met you on

stagecoach. Yes, it was indeed.

It was indeed. Would you please excuse
me now, Mrs. Adams?

Oh, yes, yes.

Excuse me. I have the feeling we've met
somewhere before.

That's not a very novel approach, Mr.
Maverick. No, it's not quite as novel as

some I've encountered recently.

If you'll excuse me.

That lovely perfume you're wearing.

Is it French?

Let's just say it's mine.

In France, Mr. Maverick, I must ask you
to get out.

Now, is that any way to treat a friend
who's come to return something?

You dropped this in the street in Gold
Flats last night.

What makes you think it's mine?

I'll show you.

Now, shall we go over and give the
sheriff a whiff?

You can't prove anything.

It's your word against mine.

What made you pick on me?

I had to have money.

I knew there was a game in gold flats,
so I just waited for the winner.

This may come as a shock to your
innocent ears, but in some states, armed

robbery is considered illegal.

You said you needed the money.

For what?

I told you I'd pay it back.

Well, that's why I'm here to collect.

Well, I haven't got it.

Whoa.

I'd be only too happy to search you. I
said I don't have it.

Well, being a law -abiding citizen, as
you heard me tell all the ladies, I'll

let the sheriff search you.

Right as far as I can tell, you're
right.

You haven't got it with you.

Look, I had to take your money.

They were going to kill my father.

Oh, serve it with violin music, Miss
Malone. Who's gunning for your father?

It's true.

I wouldn't lie to you.

You'd shove a gun in my back and take
all my money, but you wouldn't lie to

huh? You better keep talking.

It was Sherwood Hampton who was going to
kill my father.

He owns the big saloon over at Hampton
Center.

And where's Hampton Center?

Oh, not far. It's where all the men from
Brotherly go to gamble.

My father was playing poker there a
couple of months ago and signed an IOU

$1 ,500.

So when Hampton came to the ranch last
week and started to get ugly about it,

well, I knew somebody had to do
something.

That somebody had to be me.

Well, I'm sorry.

I took your $800 over to Hampton this
morning and he gave me a week to get the

rest of it.

Now, you...

Are you going to take me to the sheriff
now?

Good would it do. The money's gone.

Let me give you a little piece of
advice. When you go after the other 700,

wear that ring.

With this?

I forgot I even had it on.

Engagement ring?

No, I just use it for one.

It keeps strangers away.

Not always.

I even tried to raise money on it to
help my father, but they wouldn't give

enough to make it worthwhile.

How much were they willing to give you?

Oh, the jeweler at Brotherly had only
given me $100.

Stephanie, I accept your kind offer.

You what? With the money from that ring,
I can go to Hampton Center and win back

my $800.

But if you lost... This ring's been in
the family for years.

Well, I usually come out winners.

You do?

Stephanie?

Yes? With a...

Little luck I might be able to win back
that extra 700 for your dear old father.

That would be awfully nice.

Would you gentlemen mind if I joined
you?

You don't sit in once a deal's been
started. But didn't you know that?

Why, I should have known. I'm sorry.

Sit down. You can start the next hand.

Thank you very much.

Is $100 enough to start?

$100 is better than nothing.

You're a very generous dealer, Mr.
Hampton.

I'll open.

200.

I'll raise 200.

That does it. You gents will just have
to get along without me.

I'll call.

I'll draw three cards.

Aren't you forgetting me?

I'll take the top two first.

You dealt, remember?

You're discarding?

Mr. Hampton, if I didn't know your
reputation, I'd suspect you of knowing

you dealt me.

Well, you weren't so strong, I figured
you'd stand pat.

Even the good ones get fooled now and
then. I was just bluffing.

May I have my two cards, please?

the two cards I was hoping I'd draw.

I'll match anything in your pile.

I'm throwing in.

That's too bad.

Thanks for the nice, friendly game.

There must be about $2 ,000 here.

For that kind of money, you'll have to
come to the office.

Take a good look at it. It's as close as
you're going to get.

I don't allow slippery card sharps in my
place.

You mean more than one, don't you?

All right, boys.

$2 ,000.

You want to count it, or do you trust
me?

Enjoy it while you can.

The only way out of here is through that
door, and I've got two pretty handy

gents waiting for you out there.

only good town's a peaceful town. And
Brotherly's gonna stay that way as long

there's law. Excuse me, Sheriff. Excuse
me.

Would you mind arresting me?

You're Maverick, aren't you?

Yes, but you've got to put me in jail.

Well, from what I've heard about you,
I'm surprised you're out. Listen,

there are some men chasing me. If I'm
not in jail, they're gonna kill me.

Sorry, I can't oblige you. You ain't
done anything.

I could start a poker game, but there
just isn't time.

I'm sorry I have to do this.

Disturbing the peace?

Destruction of private property?

That'll be ten days.

Mister, I paid a hundred dollars for
that mirror.

Ten days and costs.

Well, it's a pleasure to do business
with you, sir. All right, get moving.

All right.

Get him, boys.

Stand back.

This prisoner's in my custody.

We've got a score to even with him, sir.

It'll have to wait.

He's a guest of brotherly for ten days.

Ten days?

We'll be waiting, Maverick.

You couldn't make it 30, could you,
Sheriff?

The law says 10.

It'll probably seem like 30 to me.

Let's go.

I don't know how to thank you, Sheriff.

Well, you can thank me by hightailing it
out of town the minute your sentence is

up. Now, I'll have that money of yours.

Well, you can't do that.

I won that money fair and square.

At least my end of it was.

The law says a prisoner's valuables are
impounded until he's released for

safekeeping.

Well, it feels good and safe right where
it is.

I go by what the law says.

Hand it over.

Father, there's 2 ,000 in there minus
100 for the mirror.

Poker women.

No good ever comes of them.

You're right, Sheriff.

Sometimes they can even land a person in
jail.

You boys are wasting your time.

You never can tell we want to be around
when he gets out.

Yeah, who knows? You might cut his time
for good behavior.

Ten days is ten days in my book.

Like I say, you're wasting your time.

You know, maybe he's right.

Getting paid, ain't you?

You're out in the good, clean air, ain't
you?

Beats rolling drunks, doesn't it?

Then shut up.

Who's talking?

Morning,

Sheriff.

I hope you slept well.

You complaining?

You only got nine days left to go.

Well, the fella that invented this bed
should have got life.

Well, maybe you want to get let out.

You got a couple of friends out there.

Waiting for you.

Hampton's men?

Can't you just send them away?

Not until they've done something.

I'm thinking of nine days from now. I
wouldn't like to see bloodshed on the

streets of Brotherly, especially if it
was mine.

Bart, they told me you were here. How in
the world did it happen?

Just lucky, I guess.

Lucky? I think it's perfectly dreadful.

I agree.

Sheriff Hardy, it's a disgrace to the
town to have a gentleman like Mr.

behind bars.

A gentleman shoots up a saloon, he goes
to jail.

But I'm sure he wouldn't have done it
without a reason.

I had a very good reason, Mrs. Adams.

Hampton and his men were under the
impression that I had a couple of

dollars that was rightfully theirs.

Then you got it?

I had it.

The sheriff's keeping it for me.

Sheriff, I demand that you release Mr.
Maverick.

Anyone who's an enemy of Sherwood
Hampton doesn't belong in jail.

You run your lady's aid, Mrs. Adams. Let
me run my jail.

Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Adams,
but the sheriff's right.

And while you're running your jail, how
about a little breakfast?

Well, you'll get it, but you won't like
it.

The place across the street gets a
dollar a day for serving prisoners.

I got a suspicion they make a heavy
profit.

Why, that's terrible.

Their food isn't fit for pigs.

I agree.

Eat there all the time.

Isn't there something we can do?

There is there certainly is

Well. If you'll open the cell door,
Sheriff, we'll tend to your prisoner.

This whole thing don't seem legal, but I
can't remember anything in the book

that says it ain't.

Maybe

I'll go

shoot up a saloon.

Oh, you really shouldn't have.

It was nothing. Just a few odds and
ends.

The book says crime doesn't pay.

Something doesn't make sense here.

You're the prisoner, and I got to eat
that fodder from across the street.

Well, you may not find this in the book,
Sheriff, but it would be my guess.

Well, thank you, Maverick.

Pardon me, ladies.

to miss you when you're gone.

Are you sure there's nothing more we can
do for you, Mr. Maverick?

Not a thing, thank you.

Oh, um... I'm thinking, but there, uh...
There is just one thing.

Better go get Hampton.

He tells me there's strange goings -on
here.

And women run in and out all day long.

Never seen nothing like it.

What's going on now? Malone gal just
left. Been there a couple of hours. You

mean he's allowed visitors?

If I could have a visitor like that, I'd
go in for life.

But where's the sheriff? He's in there.
Just come back from making his rounds.

I understand you're running a pretty
fancy boarding house here, Sheriff.

Well, it's no concern of yours.

I was surprised at you, Hampton.

interrupting a man while he's eating.

Sorry, I can't invite you in.

Sooner or later, Maverick, you're going
to walk through that front door.

When you do, I'll be waiting.

Would you mind waiting outside?

I'm right in the middle of a very
exciting chapter.

That's behind your back, Hardy.

This isn't Hampton Center.

You're going to regret this. Try to tell
us there's something illegal about

this, boys. Back to your office.

Didn't mean to disturb your beauty
sleep, Maverick.

I know it's not polite.

I see you changed your mind about
waiting outside.

I decided not to wait at all.

It's not really you I'm after.

Can't win this back sometime, Maverick.
You know where to find me. I'll be

looking you up. Do that.

All right, let's go.

Somehow I've lost my appetite.

Shoot!

What happened?

We had visitors.

Hampton and his men.

Seems I'm broke again.

You won't be for long.

I'm swearing out a warrant for their
arrest.

A lot of good that'll do.

In Hampton Center, they use warrants for
cigarette papers.

I'm going to get me a posse and blow the
town wide open.

Sheriff, a request.

You're going to need all the help you
can get.

Meaning what?

Meaning me.

Remember, I have something of a stake in
this venture.

The law says you've got eight days more
to serve.

Stay that way.

Please, Sheriff, he really could help.

The law is the law.

Stephanie.

Like a mouse ran across.

Bart, you're not going after those men
alone, are you?

Stephanie, I've got a brother named
Brett who can outdraw me any time he

to, and he's known as the second slowest
gun in the West.

No, ma 'am, I'm not going anywhere
alone.

I'm sorry, but I was just trying to
knock a little sense into your head.

The way my jaw feels, I must be the
brainiest man in town.

Then use him. If you're going after
Hampton, I'm going with you. You've got

right going along.

Look, all you've got at stake in this is
a little wounded pride. I've got $1

,900. The law says that... What the law
says doesn't matter.

You're in and I'm out. All right.

What's your deal?

Just make me a deputy, that's all. And
let me go along with your posse. Promise

you won't try any foolish heroics? It's
yours to lead, Sheriff, and mine but to

follow. As far behind you as possible.

Where's Hampton?

Haven't seen him.

Sure.

Clicky, please.

Same for you?

No, nothing.

He asked you, where's Hampton?

And I told him I haven't seen him.

Well, now I'm asking you. And I'm
telling you the same.

You got better answers than that.

He's gone to collect a debt.

Some fella named Malone.

Hey, you didn't pay for the whiskey.

Didn't drink it, remember?

I was coming home and I saw them pull
up.

They see you, Stephanie.

No, no, I turned back and started to
look for help.

All right, men, let's go.

Bart, I don't want you to get hurt.

That must be why I'm so fond of you. We
have so much in common.

He says he hasn't got the $700, boys.

What do you think of that? Ain't that a
pity?

Yeah, it sure is a shame.

I can get it for you by fall.

I'll have cattle going to market. You
don't know, but you're selling cattle

right now.

Let's see, 70 head at $10, that'll just
cover it.

By fall, I can get $30 a head. I'm sure
you could, but I'm talking about right

now.

I've got a bill of sale right here.

70 head at $10.

Let's go to the house and get this
signed up properly.

Back in the barn.

All right, men. They're out of the barn.

Get up in the loft.

Cover it from there.

Open up, Hampton. Why don't you come in
and get me, Hardy?

Get up the walk.

Me?

You're outnumbered, Hampton.

You got nothing to win staying in there.

I don't figure I'm such a big winner by
coming out.

What do I do now?

Use your imagination.

Get up.

All right, open the door, Hatton.

Looks like you need help.

Maybe you need some help.

Looks like we all may need a little
help.

Excuse me, please. Just a minute.

That will do.

Twelve hundred.

Fifteen hundred. Seventeen hundred.

Nineteen hundred. Thank you very much.

Mr. Malone!

There you are, sir. Seven hundred
dollars. Would you kindly give it to

gentleman?

Thank you.

Somehow I have the feeling I've lost
money on this deal.

Oh, it isn't whether you win or lose,
Mr. Hampton. It's how you play the game.

Oh, Dad!

Well, you're all right.

Oh.

Thanks to this young man, I'm out of
debt.

Bart, you were wonderful.

I could never have done it alone.

Don't be so modest, Maverick.

I told you to use your imagination.

You did.

Brilliantly. Thank you.

Here's $100. You can get your ring back.

Bart, I don't know how to thank you.

You don't?

I'm still regarding this as a loan, you
know. Remember I once told you I charge

6 % interest?

Well, I think I'll collect a little of
it in advance.

You'd make a terrible banker.

How come?

You don't charge enough interest.

You're still with the posse, Maverick.
You're coming back with us.

All right.

Don't forget where we left off.

Bart, I'm riding in with you.

We've got the quarters all fixed up for
you.

Isn't that a little too good for them?

Get out of there.

I saved your room for you.

I don't follow you, Sheriff.

You still got seven days left to serve.

And like I say, I go by the book.

Goodbye, Bart.

I'll be back in seven days.

Seven long days.

That's a whole week.

Think how the interest will pile up.
