All language subtitles for Maverick s04e08 The Witch of Hound Dog

Nancy, I can't take you away from here.

It's... Well, your imagination is just
too big to fit in the city.

I have a strange feeling you're going to
be sorry.

What's wrong?

Put them papers back in the safe.

Do like she says, Maverick.

Put them back, or I'm going to blow your
head off.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Guess you're the big winner, Maverick.

Lucky Gil.

What's the matter? Are you sensitive to
lightning?

The last time I saw it, I was more than
sensitive. About a month ago, back in

Tennessee.

Oh, did you get hit by it?

Nope. By a girl.

Not the first time, I reckon.

It was the first time by this kind of a
girl.

The strangest thing that ever happened
to me.

As a matter of fact, Gil, I'm not
rightly sure it happened.

Or if it did happen, what made it
happen?

What are you talking about?

Funny things go on up there in that
smoky mountain country a man just can't

explain. I saw several of them.

It all began one bright, sunny morning.

I was riding down from Memphis to
collect a debt.

Everything was going normal at first.

Except for maybe that raven.

How do, ma 'am? How do, stranger?

Something wrong?

Nope, reckon not.

What are you hiding for?

Get away!

I will as soon as you tell me why you
were running up and down the road.

You will?

Yep.

You ain't scared?

Not if you aren't.

Well, I was trying to make up my mind to
go into town.

Part of me said stay out.

The other part says go on in and let the
devil take the hindmost.

It's like to tear me apart trying to
decide what to do.

Well, most women have trouble making up
their mind.

You'll just have to learn to live with
it.

Hey, now, you better get away before
this tree falls on you or your horse

a notion to kick you. You better be a
good girl before my horse takes a notion

to kick you.

Get!

Before the ground opens and swallows you
up.

I'm not going to get till I know what
you're talking about. Now, you turn

here and look at me. I can't look at
you. You go up in the...

Oh, for... What's the matter with you?

I'm a witch.

A what?

A witch.

Oh.

I don't believe in witches.

I thought everybody believed in witches.

Sure you don't believe in me?

Oh, sure, I believe in you, all right.

I just don't believe in witches.

Hey, I like you.

You going to DeHound Oak?

I sure am.

Can I go with you?

I have a feeling that if we're together,
well, nobody will get hurt too bad.

Did anybody ever tell you you don't make
sense when you talk?

Whenever I go into town, something
dreadful happens.

So you want me to go with you to keep
you from busting up the town?

Well, I don't do it on purpose.

It just happens.

But I figure since you don't believe in
me, it'll kind of break the spell a

little. Then nothing too awful will
happen.

Can I go with you?

Well, now, I've never broken a spell in
my life.

But, all right, climb aboard.

Right here will be fine.

You'd better not follow too close. I
don't want you to get hurt.

Well, don't worry about me.

Well... Oh, in case I don't work and I
don't see you again.

What's your name?

Bart Maverick.

Howdy, Bart Maverick. My name's Nancy
Sutcliffe.

Nice to meet you, Nancy.

Well, here goes.

Good luck.

Last time I was in town, them two boys
got locked up.

Here they go again.

witch again, Cyrus.

I thought you told her never to come
back in town again.

Well, after what happened the last
time... All right, Miss Turner, stop

I told you I'd talk to her.

Now, do you believe in witches?

Well, that was certainly worth seeing.

But witchcraft had nothing to do with
it.

What do you mean?

You saw with your own two eyes.

Nancy, what I saw is the same kind of
magic that always happens when a pretty

girl walks down the street.

What about... In Texas, it's even worse.

You ever heard of a Texas tornado?

Yeah. That's just another word for
pretty girl.

Get back!

Now, Nancy, don't get wild.

Nancy didn't do anything. She just
walked in. What's going on here?

Nancy, it's... Oh, it's you.

Anybody hurt?

Well, it's a blessing we wasn't all
killed. No, Luke, nothing serious.

Anybody need patching up? Luke's here.
Luke?

Luke Baxter?

Yeah, that's, uh, that's me.

I'm Bart Maverick.

Mr. Maverick, you finally got my letter.

Yeah.

Say, is there, uh, somewhere we could
talk about it?

You know this stranger, Luke?

Yeah, I, uh... Uh, why don't you folks
go back and, uh...

How I'll talk to Nancy.

You'll talk to Nancy.

You ain't got nothing to say to me.

It's all your fault I have to come to
town in the first place.

Nancy, we don't have to talk about it in
front of everybody.

Why not?

Put both my brothers in jail if they set
just one foot in this town.

That ain't true.

Now, we could settle it all peaceable.

Ain't nobody gonna put nobody in jail.

Well, you'd ought to be put in jail.

After what you and that high -card
Harris...

May his soul rest in peace to my family.

Well, you're lucky I don't cave in this
whole town.

I'll send a storm raging down this
street or conjure up a Texas tornado.

Hogwash.

What did you say?

He said hogwash.

And you can tell that bird he did a fine
job.

That wasn't no bird.

Nancy.

Don't talk to me.

I thank you for your help, Mr. Maverick,
and I'll be seeing you again sometime.

Yes, ma 'am.

Is she really a witch?

Who cares?

Now, Luke, in your letter, you mentioned
$10 ,000 High Guard Harris owes me. Can

we talk about that?

Why don't you come up to my place, Mr.
Maverick? You're probably hungry after

your trip.

You can eat.

I can tell you what happened to the
money.

What happened to the money?

You

still

haven't told me what happened to High
Card Harris.

Well, him and me went to business
together about three years ago.

I had two of the finest hound dogs in
the country. And he had $10 ,000.

Luke, how come High Card suddenly
remembered he owed me the $10 ,000?

didn't exactly remember.

After he died, I found a piece of paper
amongst his belongings that says he owed

you the money as a gambling debt.

So I figured you wouldn't want me to pay
you.

Now there's no $10 ,000 to pay me.

Well, I didn't say there weren't no $10
,000. I told you I was going to tell you

what happened to it.

What? What?

That's a long story.

Luke, I want to hear every word.

Well... Let's go in the house.

Yeah, let's.

I don't think High Card would have gone
to gamble if I hadn't been for peaches.

High Card always was fond of the ladies.

Now, peaches ain't no lady.

They rarely are.

Peaches are hound dogs.

Mr. Harris was so crazy about that dog,
he couldn't sleep nights.

The Sutliff's wouldn't sell them, so...
Sutliff's?

Natsy's family?

Their brothers are so crazy about card
playing, somehow one night Mr. Harris

gets over to their house for a game of
poker.

The Sutliff's was crazy enough to put up
peaches against a handful of aces.

Knowing Harris, that was crazy.

But what about my $10 ,000?

Oh, yeah.

Well, Mr. Harris brought Peaches home.

He just sat there with Peaches in his
lap all aglow.

And he up and died.

What did he die from?

Now, being a medical man, I'd say the
Sutliff's corn liquor done him in.

Luke, what about my $10 ,000?

Well, the Sutliffs are so mad about
losing peaches, they broke in here and

my pedigree papers.

Ain't sold a pup since.

Plum ruined my hound dog business.

What about my money?

That was in the envelope in the safe.

They stole it?

No.

That is, they took your money, but they
don't know it.

So I wouldn't call that stealing.

What are you talking about?

Well, they didn't break open the safe.
They just carried it away.

The safe?

Ox Sutliff's the only man in these parts
that can do that.

What a family.

Nancy, Ox, and Zach.

He's a meanin'. And they got a bird for
a pappy.

Works every time.

Sure was nice of you to give me lift
home.

I was waiting for you.

Waiting? What if I hadn't come along?

Oh, you're here, ain't you?

You felt the spell, didn't you?

Spell? The spell I put on you to come a
-courting.

Whoa.

Oh, come on now, Nancy.

Well, you felt it, didn't you?

Didn't you feel like you was hit by
lightning or something?

Now, Nancy, let's get one thing
straight.

I don't believe in witches.

And spells and charms and... Well, I try
not to believe in courting.

Let's talk about something else, huh?

Well, that don't leave us very much to
talk about.

Well, what I mean is... Well, you don't
need to be a witch to get a fella to

come courting.

A girl like you has a lot of...

Well, natural charms.

All that witchcraft just gets in the
way.

Oh, I love it when you don't believe in
me. It makes me feel almost human.

Oh,

better stop here. I gotta blindfold you
just in case you got any ideas about

trying to find your way back up here
again.

Now, this is ridiculous.

Come on.

Get off.

It's the rules.

Whose rules?

My papi's.

You told me that trained bird was your
pappy. Well, in a way, it was.

My pappy's dead, sort of.

Sort of? Where I come from, a person's
either dead or they ain't dead. It's as

simple as that.

It ain't simple at all. That's the most
confusing thing in the world.

My old pappy used to say, if a person
could understand the difference between

what is dead and what ain't dead, you
could be a real first -class witch.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Just for that. Matt, you can stay
ignorant.

Now let's get it going.

Let's go.

All right, let's go.

All right.

Stop!

Well,

we're home.

It's a nice place you have here.

It's home. Hey, help me off, will you?

My foot's all pins and needles.

Hey, you're cute.

They don't make flower sacks the way
they used to.

Hey, put your horse in the shed over
there. Then come on in.

All right.

fellas man's best friend and you all
hate me it's a stranger

I didn't get a chance to bash him back.

You want to bash him, Zack?

Oh, thanks.

Look what we brung in. Find him missing
around at the dogs. Thought you'd like

to have a look at him. Put him down.

Well, what do you want with him?

I brung him. He come up the trail with
me blindfolded and everything. Now put

him down. Put me down.

Nancy's got a feller.

Well, the dogs like him.

Why shouldn't Nance like him?

get something for your face.

You leave him be.

Always putting some of your homemade
junk on folks. Get on out to the still

get us something to drink.

Now, that's a good idea.

You don't need nothing to drink. Oh,
yes, we do.

Don't we, Zach?

Yeah, go on. We want to talk to your
father.

This here Maverick. Zach, if you lay one
finger on him while I'm gone, so help

me out. You what?

me into a ring -tailed baboon.

Maverick, huh?

Don't sound like no Tennessee name, do
it, Ox?

I don't know.

Do you mind if I sit down? Go ahead.

Where'd you meet my sister, Maverick?

In town.

Were you scared of her?

No.

She talked a little while, but talk
never scared anybody.

Mr.

Maverick?

What do you aim to do with them cards?

Oh, well, Jack, my old papa used to say,
a man can stay out of trouble, learns

to do something with his hands.

You boys play poker?

Till we.

Hold on, Alex.

You wouldn't by any chance be a working
gambler?

Oh, no.

Now,

I just took it up recently for a hobby.

Oh.

All right, Alex, you can cut your cards.

We got to be careful, Mr. Maverick.

Last time we played poker, we like to
lost our heads.

Yeah, and peaches, too.

Out for a dollar.

Peaches? Most beautiful hound dog in the
world.

The voice that would stand your hair on
end.

Without peaches, we ain't nobody in
these parts.

Plum ruined our lives losing that dog.

Well, poker's a dangerous game, Zack.

And you've got to be willing to lose
once in a while.

We are.

But when there's a no -count cheating
gambler like High Card Harris sitting

there with a fistful of... High Card
Harris?

You know the varmint?

You poor, poor fellas.

Reckon you was acquainted with him all
right.

I thought I was the only one in the
whole world who was suffering because of

High Card Harris.

He done you out of suffering, too?

The dearest thing I owned.

Oh, that's a shame.

How many cards do you want, Ox?

I'll just play these. Good.

One card.

I'll take two.

It's your bet, Ox.

Stay healthy.

It's your bet.

I said, stay healthy. No, thanks. Drink
it.

And stay healthy.

I hope so.

There's your money, fellas.

You won it fair and square.

Every time you think about this game,
you remember poor old Bart Maverick, who

might have been a happy man if it wasn't
for an envelope that High Cart Harris

kept in his safe.

His safe?

Just a little envelope.

Tucked away in a dark, cold safe.

If I only had it, think of what
happiness it would bring.

I can't stand it no more. I know where
it is.

It's right under this table. That's
where.

What? Well, I can't help it, Zack.

I can't stand to see him suffer.

You mean my happiness is right under
this table?

Well, it really ain't got nothing to do
with us.

And, Jiminy, I never seen anybody as
unhappy as you.

Let's give it to him.

Well, we got to, Zach.

It'll be downright cruel letting them go
through life like that.

Open this safe, Ox. Quick.

Got my name on it.

Well,

I... I don't know what to say.

I just don't know how to thank you, boy.

What did you do to him?

Zack, if you hurt him... Hurt him?

Why, you're looking at the happiest man
in this world.

Yeah. You and your corn liquor.

He just passed out for the pure pleasure
of it.

Oh, Mr. Maverick.

Go on, go get his horse.

Huh? Don't just stand there.

Get!

Mr. Maverick.

Please wake up.

You feel better?

It's nothing.

Oh, maybe I got a dose of something in
the house.

No.

No, no, no. I just had a dose of
something in the house.

Well, it's been a real pleasure, Mr.

Maverick.

Thanks, Zach.

You don't know how much I've enjoyed it.

Hawks will take you back to the main
road.

Good.

Goodbye, Nancy.

Oh.

Oh.

I'm sorry you took sick.

But I reckon it's your own fault for
liking cards better than courting.

Nancy, if I was a courting kind, I'd
court you so much you'd have to take up

card playing just for something else to
do.

Come on, get up.

I gotta blindfold you.

You ready, Mr. Maverick?

In a minute.

Now, I want you to hear what I have to
say.

I can't help being a witch. Oh, Nancy.

Just listen.

Most folks are scared of me.

Ox and Zach just laugh.

But you didn't do neither one.

That's why I put a spell on you.

But I'm going to take it off as soon as
I get a chance.

Because the next time you come here,
it's going to be because you want to.

And not because I made you do it.

Go fetch him, Ox.

Why, sure.

That's all I got to say.

Your horse is ready, Richard.

$40.

What you belling for?

bash you you're gonna bash me that's all
you got brains enough to do you're

gonna get it good so smart you are
sitting there big as live with a friend

Much obliged.

You can find the main road easy from
here. You just go right through there

you come right to it.

Well, thanks, Ox.

It's been good knowing you.

Bye, Sheemox.

Ox!

Well,

what did we do that for?

Because she's a friend of Luke Baxter's,
that's why.

Oh, I was getting right fond of that
maverick.

Oh, what's in that there envelope?

Money. A heap of it.

You reckon that's really his? I don't
know, but we gonna keep it anyway.

Nancy, don't.

Sorry.

Glad you're awake, Mr. Maverick. Slept
most of the day.

Feeling better?

Down, peaches.

That's peaches?

Yeah, ain't she beautiful?

Well, I'm no expert.

Say, Luke, what happened? How'd I get
here?

Well, you come stumbling in here last
night.

All in terrible shape. All beat up and
your coat wet.

My coat?

Where's my coat?

Right here.

It's dry now.

no -count settlers.

How did they find out about my money?

You got a hold of it?

I had a hold of it.

By now, it's probably back in that cold,
dark safe.

If they know about it, you ain't never
gonna get it back.

Oh, Luke, boy, for a scientific mind,
you sure do some unexperimental

There's $10 ,000 up there with my name
on it.

I'm gonna get it no matter what I have
to. Sorry, Mr. Maverick.

I ain't used to no backtalk from my
patients.

I think you're still talking plum out of
your head.

Oh, now, Luke, that's... You stay in bed
and keep an eye on Peaches there.

I don't want nothing to happen to him,
and you either.

Them's orders.

Luke, I... Them's orders.

Peaches, get off my coat.

Get off my coat?

Oh, come on, Peaches. I got to go out
after my money.

This time it's going to take patience
and persistence and... Peaches.

Peaches. Come on, Peaches.

Hey, Peaches, come on.

Come on, Peaches. Come on, Peaches.
Smell, Peaches.

Here, Peaches.

Smell, Peaches. You're going to lead me
right to Nancy.

Come on.

Peaches?

Peaches?

Here, girl.

Peaches, come to Bart.

Come to Bart.

Peaches? Peaches?

Nancy? Nancy?

Nancy?

Nancy, where are you?

Giz!

Peaches.

Oh, what kind of a hound are you?

I don't know.

Nancy. Well?

Took you long enough to get here.

What's the matter, Peaches? Forget how
to track?

Who's tracking who?

Now that you found me, what do you aim
to do?

Well, I'm too tired to...

Climb trees.

It's a nice night for courting.

Nancy, I told you how I felt about
courting.

I know.

Reckon you just come for your money.

Well... I know all about it. You must be
a terrible bad man to have so much

money. If it's all yours.

Just the debt High Guard Harris owed me.

Oh?

And I'm not such a bad man.

Then quit looking at my leg that -a
-way.

And I'm not looking at your leg that -a
-way.

Hey, how in tarnation am I going to get
out of this tree?

Then how'd you get up there?

Don't rightly remember.

Well, didn't you fly up?

Might have.

Then fly down.

I don't think I can.

Why not?

You?

Oh, I know.

I don't believe in you, so you feel
almost human.

Mm -hmm.

All right.

This won't be anything as spectacular as
flying.

It's just a nice, normal way to get a
girl out of a tree.

This beats flying any time.

Oh, Nancy, let me go. You're cracking my
ribs.

Uh -uh, not never.

I'm gonna hold on to you so you won't
never get away.

Nancy, you just can't.

I... You see?

It's different.

When you look at me, it's like you was
looking at a plain girl.

But you're... you're not a plain girl.

In fact, you're a... nice, round girl.

That's what I mean.

When you look at me, I don't even care
about being a first -class witch.

Not even a second -class witch?

Not no kind of a witch.

Never no more.

Pimps are dogs.

Come on. Where?

Up to the house.

The boys must have heard Peaches, and
they're bound to find her. And there's

telling what'll happen if they see you.

Then why don't I just run?

Where to? You was lost when I found you.
Besides, you want your money, don't

you?

You're going to help me get my money?

Peaches! Lose him, girl!

Go on, give him a good chase.

Get!

Come on, love.

Time's a -wasting.

Nancy.

It's too bad I ain't a witch anymore.

My papi taught me how to open a safe
just like that.

Well, it's all there.

One thing I can say about your brothers,
they're honest.

I should hope to tell you.

I might as well take Luke's papers, too.

Hey, you can't take that. It'll be
stealing.

What do you call what your brothers did?

You just said they was honest.

That's just my opinion. Luke has other
ideas. Luke has peaches.

Oh, no. No, Luke doesn't have peaches.

Well, your brothers are out looking for
peaches right now. And when they catch

her, they're going to have peaches.

Luke's going to have his papers.

And I'm going to have my money so I can
get back to Memphis where there's lights

and music and real people.

What about me?

You?

Well, you never had no time to say it,
but I thought that once I got a hold of

you, you'd... I'd what?

Take me away from all this.

Nancy, I can't take you away from here.

Well, it's... Your imagination is just
too big to fit in the city.

I have a feeling you're going to be
sorry.

What's wrong?

Put them papers back in the safe.

Do like she says, Maverick.

Put them back in the safe, because I'm
going to blow your head off.

Zach, don't.

You didn't find Peaches?

Shut up, Maverick.

And you, getting Peaches to lead us on a
wild goose chase while you and him

were... He only wanted his money.

That's all.

What is that?

I put the dogs away and... Oh, my.

Are you going to blow his head off now?

As soon as I find out why Luke sent him
here.

Luke had nothing to do with it.

It just happens that my money was in his
safe.

I don't like that answer.

Me neither.

That's Peaches.

Nancy, come here.

Aim it right between his eyes.

And he better be here when we get back,
because if he ain't, you're going to

need a flying broomstick to get out of
it.

You wouldn't shoot me, Nancy.

Oh, I would.

Right between the ears.

You got me so mixed up, I think I'd do
it just for the fun of it.

Now, Nancy, I didn't mean to get you
mixed up.

It just sort of happened.

I can't take you with me. There's no
place to take you.

What you need is a nice, steady fella
like Luke.

Hold it.

Nancy, the reason you're attracted to me
is because I'm a... I'm an island of

sanity in this mad world of yours.

That's done it.

Today I fall in love with an island
instead of a man. Well, I hope they

like I'm gonna shoot you right now.

Please, Nancy.

Please, don't shoot.

Oh, I can't do it.

Oh, love, love.

I couldn't shoot you.

You look just like peaches when she's
begging for a biscuit.

What am I going to do with you?

You're a little nut.

Hanging from a tree and somebody shook
you down and stepped on me. You are

cracked. Oh, love.

Maybe I could send you to a school
somewhere or something.

Now come, love.

Time's a -wasting.

Luke, I tried to get your papers back.

Oh, hang the papers. I gotta find
Peaches. She's about to drop a letter.

Oh, no. Oh, Luke, puppies?

You mean all us and puppies, too?

take good care of you mr maverick mr

maverick i saw it with my own eyes poof

gone just like that snap out of it mr
maverick we gotta get peaches out of

here in the home hey nancy wait for me

She's a witch.

A real witch.

And I'm going to take her away from all
this.

You need hot water?

Or coffee.

I already made coffee.

Oh, good.

Luke could do with some.

I reckon it's all finished between you
and me.

I saw how you looked at me out there
after it happened.

Nancy, I'm not so sure what happened out
there.

I'm not even sure you made it happen.

I've just never seen anything like it in
my life.

Your own brothers.

Well, it's the price I have to pay for
being a witch.

I reckon you'll be leaving now that you
have your money.

I was just thinking about going.

I've got to get back to Memphis.

Maybe it's just as well.

It ain't going to be easy to forget you.

But the way you feel about me now, I
guess I couldn't stand to see you jump

of your skin every time I looked at you.

I'd just never be sure.

Nancy!

You better take that coffee into Luke.
Oh, yeah.

Nancy. Hmm?

If you gave Luke half a chance, he's the
kind of a fellow who wouldn't need a

spell put on him to come courting.

I know.

Thanks for telling me, though.

Goodbye, love.

Oh, Mr. Maverick.

Goodbye, Nancy.

It's been enchanting.

Oh, no.

Zack. Ox. No. Ox. Ox.

All

right,

Maverick. Where's Peaches?

In there.

Well, she better be.

Yeah, she better be.

I wouldn't go in there yet. Nancy and
Luke are, uh... Nancy's in there?

Yep.

Ox! Zach! Well, I'm glad you wasn't
killed.

Don't come no closer, Nance. I wasn't
really gonna shoot your feller.

No, Nance.

You didn't need to heave that lightning
at us.

Hoo -wee, that's smart.

We was only funnin'.

We won't never do it again.

Well, I should hope not. And just
remember that the next time you take the
