All language subtitles for Maverick s05e03 The Golden Fleecing

Start buying Eureka mine stock.

As much as you can.

But our crops have been meager. Nearly
all our savings are depleted.

Maverick.

I've been waiting for this.

Don't spoil the party. Keep on coming.

My son, put away thy weapon. Men, turn
away thy wrath.

We must not use violence.

Side of you two boys on.

The lords, we hope.

Yeah. It's time for you to turn the
other cheek.

I would rather give them the gold than
see thee use violence.

Stop it.

In heaven's name, stop it.

A Warner Brothers television production.

My old pappy used to say there's nothing
like a boat trip if you're going

someplace by water.

And as usual, pappy was right.

I was hoping the voyage from Sacramento
to San Francisco would never end.

Not only was I holding all the aces and
kings, but the queen of San Francisco's

social and financial circles as well.

And what had started as an innocent
flirtation had developed into something

lot more than a shipboard romance.

500, gentlemen.

It is said one cannot gather honey
without risking the sting of bees.

Three aces, Miss Jack.

I hope it suits you, Miss Jaggers.

It's a domestic made right here in
California.

Really? You can't tell the difference,
they say.

Excuse me.

Captain Owens.

This is Wilson, Captain.

You better get down to the engine room
right away.

We're building up a head of steam and
the safety valve is stuck.

Be right there.

You seem to be an exception to your
accidental rule, Mr. Maverick.

What rule is that, sir?

He who is fortunate at cards is less
fortunate at other endeavors.

Who is she?

Bill Jaggers.

I met her at the governor's mansion.

Incidentally, gentlemen, His Excellency
is a fine poker player.

Cards. Three.

Two. And two for the dealer.

Her father is L .B. Jaggers.

Lay that hand right, Maverick, and
you'll end up owning half of the state.

Is she traveling alone?

The gentleman at the bar works for her
father as an engineer.

Believe me, he'd make a much better
watchdog.

Yes, sir.

Too rich for my blood.

It's up to you, Mr. Chang.

Patience, my friend.

Patience.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your
attention, please?

We're having trouble in the engine room.

Will you please go to your lifeboat
stations as quickly as possible?

You heard the man. The boat is sinking.

The price a man will pay to satisfy his
curiosity.

All right, lower away.

This is full, Mr. Chang.

It will be an honor to meet you again,
sir.

It will be my pleasure, sir.

Do you swim as well as you play poker?

Let's hope we don't have to find out.

I'm happy to see thee has awakened.

Sure I have.

This isn't... Quite sure, Mr. Maverick.

I am Phoebe Albright.

My father and our neighbor, Mr. Carter,
pulled thee from the river.

That's funny. I can't seem to remember.

Thee were unconscious.

We're of the Society of Friends.

Phoebe, there was a young lady with me
and a gentleman.

They didn't... Mr. Mercer was the first
one ashore.

Miss Jaggers lost some of the curl in
her hair, but otherwise she's good as

Thank goodness.

I was afraid I hadn't saved her.

We didn't. She saved thee.

Eat this before it cools.

I'm afraid I'm not up to eating anything
now, thanks.

Thee will eat what is placed before
thee.

Yes, ma 'am.

Say, this is delicious.

Now they are making fun.

Oh, really?

This is as good as the breast of peacock
they serve at the Palace Hotel.

That's in San Francisco, isn't it?

Papa has promised to take me there
before I'm 21.

Good.

How far is the city from here?

Only 40 miles.

But the Palace of the Prince was only
one mile from the home of Cinderella.

Mr. Maverick, would thee think it
forward if I should write to let thee

when we were coming to the city?

We would need a friend to advise us.

After what you and your father have done
for me, I'd be insulted if you didn't.

I knew they were broad -minded.

Miss Jaggers has made arrangements to
continue thy journey by stage tomorrow

morning. But if they would get dressed
now, we would have time to see the farm

before supper.

Phoebe, you have yourself a date.

It is worn out like a woman tired from
mourning.

This earth has given us good crops.

Now it's up to us to give it a rest.

But if we do not plant the seed, how
shall we live?

We have been praying for a miracle.
Today, as we cast our lines in the

can they say it was not granted?

Excuse me, please. I'll be right back. I
want to talk to Pop.

Take your time, Miss Albright.

You know, if I'd had my way, we'd be
sleeping in San Francisco tonight.

That's one of your problems, Frank. You
just don't know how to relax and enjoy

life. It's to his own, Maverick.

You know, I like to make my living by
hard, honest work.

Please, Frank.

Phoebe, what is thy opinion of Mr.

Maverick?

Miss Jaggers admires him greatly. She
has been pleading with him so hard to

her father's company. Mr. Mercer is
becoming very jealous.

My opinion, Phoebe. Remember, it is most
important to us.

I hesitate only because I don't wish to
seem impulsive.

But I think he's gentle, gracious,
polite, and sincerely grateful.

I'm convinced.

Now, if thee will give permission.

Tonight, I will put our problems in his
hands.

Well, Miss Albright, you have a very
nice farm here.

Are you sure I can't help you with the
horses?

Why, Frank would be glad to help,
wouldn't you, Frank?

Now, there's another reason that working
for your father just doesn't appeal to

me.

Could it be that you just don't like the
idea of working?

Touche.

Now, I've known many clock watchers in
my time, including your friend Mercer.

I wouldn't trade places with any one of
them.

Did you ever notice their faces drawn
and dried up like an old prune?

You should see your face when you're
betting into a pat hand.

Well, that's different.

Of course it is.

Poker's a game.

Games are for children.

Try it for a year, Bart. Six months.

Then if you want out... Even if I did
consider it, and I won't.

What makes you so sure your father would
offer me a job?

He respects my judgment.

And besides, he'll see you're as
charming, clever, and ambitious as I

I'm not so sure ambitious is the right
word.

You could be.

With a little shove.

Now don't you make the effort for me.

Why not?

I'm doing it strictly for myself.

Stop worrying. You'll love the
investment business.

I thought your father owned an
engineering firm.

He does.

And a railroad, mine, a couple of
hotels.

Investment bankers get to own lots of
things when they play the cards right.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Lots of things.

Come in.

Mr. Maverick?

Come in, Mr. Albright, please.

I have come to speak on a matter of
great importance.

Oh? While out with Phoebe this
afternoon, did they notice the bluffs,

hills that are a part of our land?

Yes, sir.

And did they mean what they said at
supper?

And I quote, if I can ever do anything
to repay your hospitality... Just tell

her.

Yes, I said it and I meant every word of
it.

Well, we're going to let this do the
hollering for us.

That's gold of the highest grade.

When the stream that crosses our land
overflows and then recedes, we find this

along the banks.

Did you ever try to locate the original
deposit?

Well, we think the Eureka, as we call
it, is in the gravel bluffs we saw this

afternoon.

The good Lord has seen fit to grant us
this bounty, but as yet he hasn't given

us the knowledge or the means necessary
to extract the ore. That is why we... Do

you think that I could... I'm sorry, Mr.
Albright, but I

don't know the first thing about mining.

Mr. Maverick, we are a simple people,
and our knowledge of the world of

is very limited.

So, when thee arrived at a most
opportune time, it seemed thee must have

sent in answer to our prayers.

Believe me, sir, if anyone was going to
be sent in answer to a prayer, it would

never be a maverick.

How can thee be sure?

My friend, if thee will undertake this
task, the prayers of many people will

ride on thy shoulders.

Many people?

Yes.

As the products of our land belong to
God, so does the ore buried in it. Most

it will be used in his service to build
hospitals and schools to do missionary

work. Please do not refuse us.

Take tons of equipment and probably
thousands and thousands of dollars to

develop a mine.

Are they not acquainted with someone who
has both machinery and money?

Yes, I guess I could talk to Miss
Jagger's father about it. But I can't

guarantee that he'll be interested in
developing a mine.

We have every confidence.

And in order to hasten thy progress, I
shall have papers prepared, giving thee

the right to act in our name.

I certainly appreciate your trust in me,
sir.

I hope you won't be disappointed.

Do you mind if I show this to him?

I wouldn't mind if he did not.

We'll start selling his stock short and
keep selling it short until we break

him. But Mr. Jaggers, his company has a
solid reputation.

Dan, start spreading rumors. Use that
ugly word, mismanagement.

Come.

Be inventive now. See to it, man.

Yes, sir. All right.

What about that ore sample Maverick gave
you? Did you get a report on the gold

content? It's rich, Loftus. Those
farmers have no idea how rich.

Fine. Then we shouldn't have any problem
purchasing their claim.

I don't count on it. I anticipated you.
I had a long talk with Albright.

Ask him if he'd be willing to sell.

His answer was no, not at any price.

Well, that's a pretty broad statement
for a dirt farmer to make.

Nevertheless, he meant it.

I know these farmers, Loftus. I know
that before they give up their land,

leave that gold right where it is.

You told me they trust Maverick.

Sure, they'll do anything he says.

Adele's been after me a long time to
take him into the firm.

Perhaps I should listen to my daughter
more often, eh?

Stone!

Yes, sir?

Ride out to my place, tell my daughter
I'll see Maverick tonight.

Does he play poker?

He thinks he does.

At the house, 8 .30.

Yes, sir.

He won't know it, but he's going to be
our Judas goat.

Lead the Albright lambs to the
slaughter.

You'd better slow down if you're going
to play poker with Bart Maverick.

He always deposited in gravel bluffs.
Thank you.

Hydraulic monitors could get it out. We
all know what they cost.

And they're useless without a large
supply of water.

There's a stream that flows through the
Albright property.

It comes down from the mountains and
enters the Sacramento River.

We'd still have to construct a dam to
build up enough water pressure for the

monitors. That kind of engineering costs
a fortune.

Bart, I'm afraid this operation is going
to run far more than our company can

afford.

Don't worry, son.

I've raised money before from public
funds. Hey, Frank?

I'll talk to you about it later.

Well, gentlemen, shall we get down to
business?

Bart.

For luck.

Thank you.

Never saw a trout rise to the bait any
faster.

luck next time, boys.

Good night, gentlemen.

And a most pleasant evening.

You played a game as if you'd been
weaned on it.

Well, Pepe wouldn't let any of us
Mavericks even deal before we could

Let me give you some advice, Maverick.

Miss Jaggers is bored, so she collects
things.

Stray cats, dogs, even tin horn
gamblers.

She keeps them around for laughs,
nothing more.

Good night, Frank.

Good night, sir.

Good night, Frank.

Maverick, what if there were a game
where the stakes were a thousand times

higher than we played for tonight?

Would you be interested?

Depends on how much it would cost me to
buy in.

Nothing.

You'd have my backing.

The game's not too different from poker.

And with your gambling instinct, and
knowledge of human nature, you'd be a

man in no time.

Does this game have any rules and a
dealer?

It does.

But until you're familiar with them,
I'll deal.

Fair enough?

Well, you have the deck, Mr. Jaggers.

That's right, son.

You know, I'm still curious.

Is it one of the sudden favors?

Yeah. You like money? So do I.

The Albright's mine.

Well, Mercer's report is very promising.

You let me handle this underwriting on
the stock. I'll see to it you get the

commission on the sale and learn the
investment business.

We'll make a team, boy, yes, sir, and
money besides.

Why, your winning in the stock market
will make what you pocketed here tonight

look like peanuts.

What do you say?

My nose bleeds about four figures.

Then buy some handkerchiefs, because
you're going to need them.

They're bringing your carriage around.

Down!

What's wrong with you, you miserable
bushwhacker?

One of the Yipsum boys.

Yipsum Tom?

Yeah, some of the members helped me
build my railroad.

Claimed I fed them slop and cheated them
out of their wages.

If it hadn't been for me, they'd have
starved to death.

But ever since then, about once a year,
they send one of their hatchet men to

split my skull.

Don't think you ought to report it to
the police?

Why? What could they do against a
tongue?

Well, just what do you know about the
stock market, son?

It's my old pappy who always taught me,
buy low and sell high.

Good advice.

But there's a lot more to it.

You'd better learn, especially since
we're going to be forming a stock

corporation to finance your friend's
mine.

Well, they signed over their power of
attorney to me, but somehow I wish they

were right here themselves.

Send them a telegram. Let's not waste
any time, boy. Let's get Eureka Mines up

on that board.

Good morning, Butler. Morning.

Meet my new associate, Bart Maverick.
How do you do?

Mr. Butler here is a broker.

Knows as much about the market as I do.

Not quite.

For instance, I don't know why I meant
land shares are dropping in price.

But in case you do, remember the new
law.

When selling short, the shares must be
delivered to the buyer within ten days.

I'll remember.

Maverick? Butler?

What does selling short mean?

Selling shares you don't hold at the
market price.

But, uh, how?

When you don't have them to sell.

You ever bluff at poker?

Bet on values you aren't holding?

Now and then.

All right, then, let's say I've received
inside information that Midland is

going to have a big financial loss.

So, instead of buying it at the market
price, I start selling it.

But how can you sell it if you don't own
it?

I have ten days to deliver the stock
I've sold.

During those ten days, they...

News leaks out and the price drops.

So by the time you buy in, you do so at
a much lower price than what you sold

the stock for.

You're getting it.

And the difference between nine and a
half and six...

Oh, sorry.

Five. That your profit?

Right.

Mr. Jaggers, what would happen if your
information was wrong?

If... Mint land went up.

Then I would have lost.

Ever sandbag at poker?

Only when I think I can get away with
it.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Good afternoon, Adele. What did you
learn today?

How to make a fortune.

Good.

How did he do, really?

Well enough to take the rest of the
afternoon off. I know exactly how to

it. Well, see you in the morning, then.
I'll be in very early. I won't.

Afternoon, Frank.

You know, Maverick's beginning to act as
if he owned it, though.

He can't tell me she doesn't like him.
Relax, Frank, relax.

At least until after he's sold all the
Eureka mine shares.

After he sold it? Sure, let him make the
commission on it.

After all, he's entitled to a little
something for handing the Albright gold

mine over to us.

Yes, sir.

The Jaggers Company will be retained to
construct and operate the mine.

Their fee shall be paid by the Eureka
Corporation, 25 % of which shall be held

by the original owners of the gold
-bearing land.

Meaning us, Papa? Yes.

A stock issue shall be floated at once
to finance the corporation.

Well, that's it, Mr. Albright.

You better take a look at these, sir.

Oh, I don't understand these business
things, Bart.

Does this arrangement satisfy thee?

It seems to be very equitable.

That's all I need to know.

There. Fine.

Fine. Congratulations, Mr. Albright.
Thank you.

Oh, Bart, now can we go someplace
exciting?

I know just the place, Phoebe. Come,
Papa.

Have a good time.

Thank you, we will.

I don't get it.

You don't get what?

How you expect to get control of the
company. You gave them 25 % of the

And the other 75 % will be bought up by
all the little suckers who think they're

going to get rich overnight.

But there'll be no gold, and you'll see
to that.

I don't want one grain taken out of the
Eureka.

As the engineer, you'll delay
construction.

Run the cost of labor and materials sky
high.

That shouldn't be too difficult.

But, uh... Then what?

Then I'll start selling this stock
short. Get the word out there never was

gold. That it was all a fool's dream.

That Maverick's Quaker friends are
mismanaging the project.

The suckers will drop their shares like
hot potatoes.

But Albright and his friends will still
have 25%. They won't have after we

present them with our bills.

There won't be enough money in the
treasury to cover our costs.

And we'll take over their stock in the
bankruptcy court.

Okay, swell.

Well, it's an interesting place. Yes.

Mr. Maverick. Mr. Chang. What a
pleasure.

I thought the river gods had claimed
you.

Oh, may I present my friend, Mr. Lee
Hong Chang, Miss Phoebe Albright, and

father, Mr. Albright. Pleasure, sir.
Please know thee.

Oh, these are the people who pulled me
from the river.

I shall forever be grateful.

To us? Why?

Mr. Maverick won a large sum of money
from this humble business person.

If he had not lived...

I would never have the opportunity to
recover it.

You have not given a poker.

Oh, no, just temporarily.

For the stock market.

For a moment, I thought you had turned
your back on gambling.

The stock he's dealing with is not a
gamble, is it?

Oh, no, Phoebe. The Eureka mine is a
sure thing.

Eureka mine?

Yes, Mr. Albright and his neighbors own
25 % of the company.

Incidentally, Mr. Chang, if you would
like to win some money for a change, I'd

suggest you buy all you can.

In return for such reliable information,
may I suggest dinner?

Well, I'm afraid we only have time to
see a few sights.

Well, please do not let me detain you.

Mr. Maverick, if you should ever wish to
continue our game, you may reach me at

this Chang Import Company.

All right, Mr. Chang, thank you very
much.

Good day, sir.

Eureka.

What's that, Eureka Martin?

You did a good job of promoting that
stock part. The word's out all over

Eureka Mine shares should be bought up
by noon.

Thanks, Mr. Jaggers.

About a month after the last share of
stock was sold, the Eureka Mine was in

full operation.

Men and machines turned what was once a
peaceful farmland into a roaring camp.

Great hydraulic monitors smashed tons of
water into the gravel bluffs, and

mountains moved like they were toppled
by a giant's hand.

Day after day, the machines assaulted
the earth, turning it into mud and

it downstream in a torrent of black
silk.

Here, sluice boxes waited to screen out
the gold -bearing ore from the muddy

river.

Thank you, Joseph. That'll be all.

Well, I never thought I'd have to do the
proposing, but if I must... Uh -uh.

Now, don't say something you're liable
to be sorry for in a month or two.

No longer than that?

I'm not the marrying kind to do.

I thought you understood that.

I'm beginning to.

It's that starched little Quaker, isn't
it?

Phoebe?

Now you're stretching my imagination.

Am I?

I heard how you fawned over her last
week, but I ignored it because I thought

you'd get over it.

You received thousands of dollars
commission on the sale of the Eureka

Don't you think you should remember who
buttered your bread?

You pardon me, but if I leave now, I may
be able to remember you without the

claws. Bart!

You've been giving out tips.

Well, now let me give you one.

Forget her, or you'll wind up just like
they are, only worse, because you won't

have a field left to furrow.

But they will.

That's all they're going to have.

I just said that to frighten you.

Remember, if it hadn't been for me,
you'd still be playing poker on a

About Phoebe and her father, how are
they going to wind up?

I didn't mean that.

No.

You just make it up.

Bart, don't you understand?

You can have everything you've ever
wanted.

Except a field of plow.

Forget them. Forget those farmers.

Tell me.

Bart, please.

No, I don't.

All right.

Daddy's going to freeze them out.

They won't get enough gold from those
bluffs to fill a tooth.

I don't believe you.

You don't believe me?

They own 25 % of that company.

Your father can't freeze them out.

Do you want to bet on that, Mr. Tinhorn?

I hope you have a deck of cards left,
because you're going to need them.

Gentlemen, 10 high straight.

Oh,

Bart, my boy. I thought you'd still be
with... Looks like reckoning time.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

All right, now, what's got your blood
running so sour?

Is it true you're planning to cheat
those people out of their gold?

Cheat's a hard word, Maverick.

That's all I want to know.

Now, Bart, don't do anything you'll
regret later on.

The only thing I'll regret is that
you're not a few years younger.

That's my department, Frank. Now, hold
on, Frank.

Now, that's good advice, Frank.

Why don't you stop there?

Because I don't want any fighting in my
home.

But you get back up to the mine tonight.

The Maverick tries to interfere.

All right, start spreading the rumors.

The Eureka mine's a fraud. Fake. Never
was any gold in it.

Bad news travels fast, but Jagger's
rumors and lies broke every existing

record. Before I could say Li Hong
Chang, the price of Eureka mine shares

falling faster than a barometer in a
typhoon.

The stock was being dumped so fast, the
board boy was getting writer's cramp.

I was getting a cramp, too, but it
wasn't in my hand.

Is there a way to stop someone from
selling short?

No, but it's possible to keep the price
of the shares from dropping.

Oh.

Purchasing the shares, but it'll take
money, a lot of money.

All right.

My commission money on the sale of the
stock.

Start with that, and I'll try to get
some more.

Phoebe, where's your father?

He's at the gold digging. He received a
telegram.

Bart, what's wrong?

Have there been any traces of gold, Mr.
Mercer? These things take time, sir.

I received this only an hour ago. The
price of our stock has been dropping all

day. So why come to me?

But I thought thee might know the reason
why.

Sorry, Mr. Albright, I couldn't even
guess.

It's Bart.

Bart? Mr. Maverick, I was hoping they
would come. The price of our stock is

falling. I know.

Jagger started selling short.

The stockholders are panicking.

Selling short?

Pete, slip!

What does it mean?

I don't have time to explain now, but
we've got to stop him or you're going to

lose everything.

But it was thee that advised us to enter
into the contract.

I know, but I was wrong. As wrong in
thinking I could trust him as you were

thinking I was sent here to save you.

What shall we do, Bart?

Start buying Eureka mine stock.

As much as you can.

But our crops have been mingled. Nearly
all our savings are depleted.

Don't spoil the party. Keep on coming.

My son, put away thy weapon. Men, turn
away thy wrath.

He must not use violence.

Side of you two boys on.

The Lord's with hope.

Yeah. It's time for you to turn the
other cheek.

I would rather give them the gold than
see thee use violence.

Stop it.

In heaven's name, stop it.

The doctor was right.

The doctor?

He said thee had a hard head.

I hope this will make it feel better.

Forty thousand.

Where'd you get this, Phoebe?

My father, Mr. Carty, and the others
have mortgaged their farms.

As soon as thee feels well enough, we
shall take thee back to San Francisco to

fight Mr. Jaggers with his own fire.

This may not be enough.

Your people are liable to not only lose
this, but their farms as well.

We have faith.

The same faith that saved Jonah from the
belly of the whale.

Phoebe, we're dealing with man -eating
sharks.

Bidding $6 a share for Eureka Mine.

$6 for Eureka Mine.

$6 for Eureka Mine, bidding $6.

Mr. Maverick, you need more money.

What? You must give me more money. The
$40 ,000 is gone.

I just can't, Mr. Butler. There isn't
any more money.

what I was doing all along.

We didn't stand a chance.

There's no hope.

I'd better take Phoebe back to the
hotel.

I'm really terribly sorry, Mr. Albright.

We did what we could.

We're grateful for thy help.

Please, fellas.

Keep me hung up like this much longer.

You won't have to do anything else to
me.

I do not feel it necessary to remind you
of the countless ways a man may die.

Who is that?

Mr. Chang, what have I done to you?

Not to me.

To the Ipsen Tong, Mr. Maverick. By your
manipulations, you have caused us to

lose a fortune.

Those manipulations, as you call them,
weren't mine.

You deny you are employed by Loftus
Jaggers?

Yes.

Well, I mean I was, but... Did he not
instruct you to tell us that Eureka Mine

was a sure thing?

No.

Hoped you were merely a pawn of Mr.

Jagger's. If I was on Jagger's side,
then tell me why I tried to push the

of Eureka stock back up today.

We have no proof that you're dead.

Well, I have.

Right there in my wallet.

Those are buy orders for $40 ,000 worth
of Eureka mine shares.

As long as Jaggers keeps on selling the
stock short, the price will keep going

down.

Is there nothing we can do?

Yes, if you'd like to gamble.

But for mountain -high stakes, Mr.
Chang.

And if we win?

You'll have beaten Jaggers with his own
money, and he might even end up in jail.

A delightful thought, Mr.

Maverick.

Delightful.

My pappy used to say the most important
thing to know about any gambling game is

when to quit.

But Jagger's pappy, if he ever had one,
had neglected his son's education.

So he continued to sell, driving Eureka
stocks so low no one would touch it with

a ten -foot pole.

Oh, no one, that is, but an anonymous
sucker who, according to rumor, was

the stock to wallpaper his house with.

Morning. Ah, good morning, Mr. Maverick.
We've missed you the past few days.

Thank you, Mr. Butler. That's very
flattering.

Tell me, how long has it been since Mr.
Jaggers started selling Eureka Mines?

Sure. Why, ten days exactly.

That's what I thought.

Has he delivered any of the shares he
purchased?

No, not as yet, but he must by closing
time today.

I know.

It's the law, isn't it?

That's right, the law.

Excuse me.

Morning, Mr. Jaggers. Mr. Jaggers.

Don't worry, Butler. I'll deliver the
shares I owe by closing time. Just

I'd mention it. Start buying Eureka
Mines. Offer them $3 a share. Yes, sir.

Buying Eureka Mines, gentlemen. Bidding
$3 a share for Eureka Mines.

Buying Eureka Mines. Bidding $3 a share.
$3, gentlemen.

We're bidding $3 a share for Eureka
Mines, gentlemen. We'll pay $3 a share.

Why isn't he putting the new price in
the car?

Because no one's selling at three.

Well, no one seems interested in selling
at three.

So I'll offer him four.

Four dollars a share for Eureka Mine.
We're bidding four dollars a share.

Four and a half.

Four and a half dollars a share bid for
Eureka Mine.

What's the matter? Don't you want to
make money?

All right.

dollars a share for eureka mines five
and a half five and a half for eureka

mines six dollars six dollars for eureka
mines well what's the matter with you

six dollars six and a half mr maverick
if someone would sell the price of

would start up again and your friends
could regain some of the money they've

lost i'm sorry mr butler but i don't
know if anyone would be interested

In fact, I seriously doubt if there's
any Eureka stock for sale at any price.

But if Mr. Jaggers isn't able to deliver
the stock he sold to drive the price

down, he'll go to jail for fraud.

I know.

And if there's none for sale, not even a
hundred shares?

Oh, not even one share.

$14 a share for Eureka Mines.

$16 a share.

$18 a share for Eureka Mines.

$20. I'll bid $20 a share for Eureka
Mines.

Well, what's the matter with you?

What's the matter with them? Why won't
they sell?

Mr. Jaggers, I must remind you, you have
less than an hour and a half. It's 1

.30.

You scheming, underhanded sneak.

I taught you and you turned on me. While
I was selling, you were buying.

That's right.

Now I have it all.

Every single share of Eureka mine. And
if you're interested in staying out of

jail, you'll have to buy at my price.

No, sir, you backstabbing manipulator.

In that case, Mr.

Jaggers... Now, wait a minute. Hold on
there.

I wouldn't be very happy in jail.

But don't you think I'm going to beg?

If it were up to me, you would.

Unfortunately for you, my friends don't
believe in vengeance.

All right.

What are the terms?

First, I'll sell to you at $40 a share.

$40? Second, the Jagger's company will
continue to operate the Eureka mine, but

only on a cost -plus basis. If the mine
makes money, so will you. And if it

doesn't, I'm sorry.

Why, that's highway robbery. You know
that, Maverick. Third, the Jagger's

company will be responsible for all and
any debts thus far incurred by Eureka

mine.

Impossible, but I... Don't have a
choice.

You know it, you card -playing bandit.

All right, come on. Now, sell me those
shares.

I'm sorry, sir, but I can't.

What? Until I talk to the Albrights and
their friends.

Friends? The Ipsung Tong and the other
suckers, I believe you called them.

They have to approve the deal.

But there isn't time. I only have an
hour.

They're waiting just outside the door.

Why, you low -down, miserable...

golly, Bart, you beat me.

Beat me at my own game.

My own game.

Bart, have we won? We've won.

Oh!

Well,

Zeth, we're finally going to get our
schools, churches, and hospitals.

Ford once said, faith can move
mountains.

Smooth as a handle on a gun, Maverick is
the name.

Wild as a wind in Oregon, blowing up a
canyon, easier to tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell, fare thee
well Annabelle.

Luck is a lady that he loves the best.

Nice to New Orleans,

living on Jackson Queens.
