Original subtitles

Mr. Maverick, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this. Is that why you

came over here as soon as you heard the news?

Mr. Maverick, your brother Bart is dead.

Oh, I see.

Well, I want to thank you for telling me, ain't I?

What are you going to do about it?

Well, first off, I'm going in and have some breakfast.

Thanks again, ain't I?

Well, how about that?

I'm sorry, mister. I didn't mean to splash you. Good.

Did you see that puddle?

I saw it. Look, I saw it. I was sorry. Now lay off.

Not so fast, sonny.

Seems like you need to be taught a lesson.

Like, for instance, there's a puddle in the street which you don't know.

Well, maybe this will help you find out where it is.

You're a big man with your hands. Let's see how good you are with that.

That's kind of silly, Sonny. Anytime you want to draw.

I ain't going to draw.

What's wrong? Are you afraid?

You're just a kid.

So is Bill Bonney.

You're going to draw.

If you don't, I will.

That's the way you want it.

Will you get out of here? You're not going to do this.

Look, he pushed me around and nobody pushes me.

It's nothing to get killed over. Look, I said nobody pushes me.

Do you know who that is? I don't care if it's George Henry Arnett. It is George

Henry Arnett.

Oh.

Well, a challenge is a challenge. I can't back down now. Go to the West. I

Well, I'm not going to let it take my brother. Look, nobody can stop us.

Nobody can say I ran out. Will you get out of here?

No. All right, Sonny, I'm waiting. Sis, will you get out of the way? Mr. Arnett,

he won't listen to reason. Will you?

Another notch in your gun won't make a bit of difference.

I didn't ask for this fight.

But I ain't gonna run from it.

What can I say?

Don't say nothing.

We're not crawling to him. Now, will you leave us be?

Mr. Arnett!

Mr. Arnett, Rat Maverick just came into town. He's looking for you.

He is? Yeah.

Thought you might like to know.

Yeah. Yeah.

Good luck, Sonny.

I got business out of town. I'll be gone for a while.

Sorry to disappoint you.

My respects, ma 'am.

What do you know?

Kevin, he's gone.

Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, sis.

Did you see that?

It mentioned Brett Maverick's name to George Henry Arnett, and he turned tail

and run.

Boy, that Maverick must be a real fast gun.

I wish you weren't so impressed by gunfighters and killers.

Cith, it's kill or be killed.

It's kill and be killed.

Those who live by the gun... Oh, my gosh.

I'm terribly sorry.

I should have been more careful, but I was told there was a man named Arnett

here, and I... Looking for somebody named... You must be Brett Maverick.

Yeah.

Well, thank you, gentlemen.

I'll be here tomorrow if you'd like another crack at me.

Good day.

So long, Smokey. Been nice knowing you. Oh, where are you going?

I'm going over to the hotel to have dinner.

Well, listen, why don't you come along with me? I'm sure sis has enough for one

extra. Some other time, pal.

Did you say pal?

It's just a figure of speech. Well, come on. I know you'll like how it's going.

Well, for some reason or other, I have a feeling she doesn't like me. Well, no,

it's not that. It's just... Well, she doesn't like gunfighters.

Gunfighter? Me?

Well, aren't you?

As my old pappy always told me, son, it's not how fast you draw that counts.

It's what you draw and when you draw.

I'm a poker player, Miss Vaughn.

Fighting and gambling go together, Mr. Mavry.

That's why I try to avoid them both.

But you said... Yes, I know.

Poker is a science. It's not gambling.

A fine distinction.

But a big one.

So you don't gamble and you don't fight.

You'll forgive me if I don't believe you.

May I ask why?

I saw George Henry Arnett's face when he heard your name.

So that's it. He was terrified.

I bet he was.

So? Miss Vaughn, anytime you want to find out how fast a man can run, lend

money. What?

There's a group of cattlemen meeting in Abilene next week. They're going to have

a big poker game.

I was trying to scare up the price for an ante, so I was looking to collect

old outstanding debts, that's all.

You mean Arnett owes you money?

That's right.

Oh, then you're joking.

Listen, he was plumb scared.

Sure, he was scared he'd have to pay.

Well, listen, you can't fool me, pal.

Listen, I could see... Oh, yeah, I see what you mean, pal.

Yeah, it was just the money.

I'd love to go shopping.

Oh, really?

I'll wait outside.

I understand there's a man in this town going by the name of Maverick.

That's right.

Can you tell me where he is?

Yeah, he's right in the store.

Oh, you'd better get out of the way. Maybe in one of those doors over there

be a little trouble.

Trouble? He's a very dangerous man.

Oh, yeah?

Killer. I knew it. Huh? Good old breath.

You're a friend of his, aren't you?

You're not to warn him.

Not a sound out of you.

Get your hands up, Mr. Maverick.

I said get your hands up. I'll see how I can.

You'd better find a way. I'm not taking any chance on a killer like you. What?

There must be some mistake.

Your name Maverick?

Yeah.

There's no mistake.

Wanted, dead or alive, Maverick. For robbery and murder.

Gee, pal.

Sheriff. All I'm asking you to do is keep this man locked up for the night.

You can't expect half the reward for that.

All right, Mr. Bounty Hunter. The reward is not offered here. It's offered in

Red Rock Junction. If you want it yourself, take him there.

Well, I intend to.

Tomorrow morning.

You know, traveling at night, he might escape.

That is your problem.

Look. Sheriff, he robbed the Wells Fargo office in Red Rock of $50 ,000. He

killed an agent by the name of Haynes. He's a criminal.

You're the law. You've got to lock him up.

You've got no right to expect half the reward for doing your duty.

Let's see.

$500 for the capture of Maverick and $5 ,000 for the return of the money he

stole. That's right.

Well, you've got Maverick.

Now, what about the money?

Most likely it's in his hotel room.

Now that he's safe, I'll go search it. All right, if you want to get locked up

for illegal entry.

Illegal entry?

But he's a crook.

A criminal.

A miscreant. He is the guest of the hotel with certain legal rights.

And, uh, sheriff of this here town, I see those rights as respected.

Now, of course, if you were to get an order from the legal authority...

you.

Meaning me.

That would be different.

Half the reward.

Half the reward.

Both reward.

All right, Sheriff, let's go.

I'm going to get you out of here. Oh, Smokey.

Will you stay out of this, please?

Listen, I can't. A pal can't desert a pal, pal.

You don't want me for a pal.

Well, why not?

Well, because I'm innocent.

Oh, I know that.

That means I'm not a killer.

Oh, I know you didn't kill Ellsworth Haynes in Red Rock Junction, if that's

you mean, nor steal the money.

How do you know that?

Because he was shot in the back.

Well, you wouldn't shoot anybody in the back.

It's the safest place. I saw how scared that bounty hunter was of you.

He was scared of the poster, not me.

Yeah, and I saw George Henry Arnett high -tailed out of here, too.

I explained to you about that.

Yeah.

Oh, Smokey.

Now, listen, you just sit tight, and I'll have you out of here in a jiffy.

Can't leave a pal in jail, pal. Gotta get him out.

Wasn't there anyone here?

Well, there's always me.

Aren't you being guarded?

Well, not at the moment.

We just had a demonstration as to how safe a prisoner is in a stronghold.

Jailbreakers just don't seem to work.

I'm sorry I can't invite you in.

Where's the sheriff?

He took off a little while ago with that joker who had me pegged as the killer

of Red Rock Junction.

That's peculiar.

I strongly suspect that our public servant is...

We'll engage in a little private enterprise.

What do you mean?

Well, he and that bearded bounty hunter are out looking for the fortune I'm

supposed to have taken from the Wells Fargo office at Red Rock Junction.

And I have a feeling that at this very moment, my hotel room is being

ransacked. And what do you think they'll find, Mr. Maverick?

A whole few clean shirts.

A few dirty ones.

A deck of cards and six Havana cigars.

What they will not find... It's $50 ,000.

Because you hid it or because you didn't take it?

Holly, it seems to me that I have spent most of my day explaining to your family

that I am not a notorious gunman, that I do not rob Wells Fargo offices, and

that I don't go around killing people. If you'd like, I'll put it in writing

you.

Well, whatever you did, you certainly have to eat.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

It isn't very much, but it certainly must be better than what the sheriff

give you. I'm sure.

That's very kind of you, Holly.

Cookies.

Um, Mr. Maverick, I'm very worried about my brother.

Who isn't?

Well, he didn't come home for supper this evening.

Well, I've seen him since then.

Where?

Was he all right?

Well, I imagine he's a little stiff.

But the last time I saw him, he...

He was still a saddle.

Of course, there was no horse under it.

No horse?

This time, pal, we can't miss Smokey.

Smokey, will you please get out of here?

Listen, when a pal's in trouble, it's a fellow's duty to get him out.

It won't be long now, pal.

Hey, sis, what are you trying to do?

You come on home with me this instant.

Ow! Will you let go of my ear?

Oh, if our father was only alive, he'd take care of you. You just wait till I

get you home, Smokey.

Rope.

Files.

Dynamite?

That's right, Mr. Maverick.

Seems it was all a mistake. I just got this telegram from Red Rock Junction.

You're not the man they want after all.

I'm not, huh?

Nope. Well, tell me, Sheriff, how did this mistake happen, then?

That stupid bounty hunter. So hungry for the reward, he just had to grab

somebody.

Well, that reward poster had my name on it, though, didn't it?

Well, look, if you like staying in jail... Oh, no, no, it's all right.

You want to turn me loose, you go right ahead.

Okay. Here.

Thank you, Sheriff.

You know, Sheriff, like you said, it was a mistake.

Anybody can make a mistake.

You say I didn't kill Ellsworth Haynes?

Who might argue with you?

You're a free man, Maverick.

I want to thank you, Sheriff.

So long.

So long.

giving him his gun? I had to if I didn't want him to be suspicious.

You let go of that!

Oh, hello.

Thanks very much.

Now keep this with me inside, okay? No need to make a fuss.

We'll take him by surprise when we catch him with the goods.

Key to room five, please.

Here you are, Mr. Lambert. Thank you.

Thank you.

That man up that chair, what did he want? He asked about a carpet bag.

Carpet bag? Yes, the green one with flowers all over it. He asked if I'd

it. And what did you say?

I said he asked if I had seen it.

I know, I know. I mean, what did you tell him?

Him? Oh, I told him yes.

Where? Right here, right where you're standing.

Who?

Mr. Maverick.

No, no, I mean the carpet bag. Where did you see it?

Oh.

Mr. Dilby had it.

Where's Dilby now?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

He left on the stagecoach. With the carpet bag? Yes.

Where'd Maverick go?

Mr. Maverick asked me where the nearest livery stable is. I said Donovan's.

Donovan's?

Donovan's? Donovan's!

Maverick time to arrange for a horse and get it saddled. Now, mine's all

saddled, so I can get started right away. You go to Donovan's and pick up

Maverick, and I'll catch the stage. No, no, wait a minute. Now, wait a minute.

My horse is saddled, too.

I'll go after the stage. You take Maverick. You're the sheriff.

He's your prisoner. You let him get away.

Look, we haven't got time to argue. There's $50 ,000 on that stage. If we

get it, nobody will get it to reward. You're right.

Get out of jail.

Well, I'm only worth $500, and the cash is worth $5 ,000.

Huh?

The sheriff thought I'd lead him to the money, so I let him think so.

Oh, I see.

It pays sometimes to sit and wait, Smokey. You ought to try it.

Yeah, I could leave a pal in jail.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I had to try something.

How do you feel?

Oh, I'm okay.

Well, where's the sheriff now?

He's on an errand.

Ought to take him about two hours to get there and two hours to get back. That

gives me plenty of time.

I can't open.

I'll open for five.

I'm always at five.

Beats me.

Come in.

Which one of you is Brett Maverick?

Oh, here he is.

I got a message for you. Oh?

Yeah, rode on in town ahead just so as I could see your face when you heard it.

I'm listening.

Ellsworth Haynes was a friend of mine.

Is that the message?

No. The message is Jed Haynes is on his way into town.

I'll take three cards.

I'll play these.

Listen, I said Jed Haynes is on his way into town.

Why tell me? I got no business with Jed Haynes. Not much you ain't.

After gunning down his brother Ellsworth in Red Rock.

I'll check to the fat hand.

What's your 10 to see this hand?

Call you 10, raise you 20.

Who drew three cards?

Smith, sir.

Maybe you didn't hear me.

Jed Haynes is mighty riled.

A man's brother gets gunned down, he's got to do something about it.

Yeah?

Would you excuse us, friend? We're playing cards.

I believe it's your bet.

Say, there's going to be a gunfight.

Maverick and a fellow from Red Rock Junction.

He's almost here.

He's almost here. Jack Haynes is almost here.

Hey, he's almost here.

They're out to claim his ranch. They'll be here in a couple of minutes.

I guess we better pull. Catch me in.

Me too.

Well, I was right about you, Gretchen. You are a cool customer.

I'm gonna go outside and watch him come in.

Good.

How much you got there, partner?

Are you just going to

sit there?

If I can't raise enough for stakes in that Abilene game by collecting debts,

I'll just have to raise it in small preliminary games like this. A man is

here to kill you.

So I hear.

You men.

You and your code.

Like a lot of silly schoolboys trying to prove how brave you are.

Well, it isn't bravery.

It's stupidity, viciousness, and selfishness.

No thought for the women who are left behind while you're out slaughtering

other. And for what?

Pride. Stupid, silly pride.

A man is coming here to kill you.

Why? Why must you stay here and face him? Who's they?

Do you think they'll look for you here?

Why should they?

Nobody saw us come through the alley.

I hope not.

How did you get into this mess anyway?

I told you.

Trying to collect some old debt.

I collected one from an Ellsworth Haynes. He's a Wells Fargo agent over in

Rock Junction.

Seems his agency was robbed and he was killed right after I left. No one saw

leave? No.

I suppose the townspeople remembered a man.

Named Maverick asking about Ellsworth.

Two and two.

I see.

Well, there must be some way to prove that you left before the robbery.

If you have any ideas on that, I'd be mighty pleased to hear them.

Brett, thank gosh you're here.

Why? Oh, Jed Haynes almost left town.

Almost? Yeah, you should have told me you were going to be here.

Ever seen such a character?

Right in the face of a shootout, he takes time out for a cup of tea.

You almost missed the whole shebang.

Haynes was getting ready to leave him.

I guess he figured you'd run out. But you don't have to worry.

I don't. No, I figured you was here.

Well, I knew you didn't want him thinking you'd run out. Well, I told

He's right outside.

Outside? Yeah, in the street.

Thanks. Oh, that's okay. At least I could do for a pal.

Maverick!

We have to make you. Hold your horses. He's coming. If he ain't out here in two

minutes, we're going to set fire to your house.

Don't worry now, Jeff.

We'll bring him out.

Boy, they're asking for it.

What are you going to do?

What can I do?

We're waiting, Maverick.

He'll be right here.

You say, let's talk this over.

You got any talking to do, you let your gun do it.

This is it.

Haynes, you listen to me.

You don't want no conversation, neither.

You gunned down his brother.

But that's just it.

And a man's got to avenge his brother's death, because that's the brotherly

thing to do.

But I didn't have any... It's okay, Brett. You gave him a chance.

If he won't listen to reason, that's his hard luck. Okay, Haynes, you won't

listen to reason? Well, you're just looking for trouble.

Well, come on, because we're going to give it to you.

We?

This ain't the fella.

What? This here ain't the fella shot my brother.

I could have told you that.

But, but, but, but, are you sure?

Sure, I'm sure.

I'm sorry.

Well, that's all right.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute. You said you... I said I heard the shots

killed Elton. Yeah. That I run over there to the office as soon as I got

to kill a run out by me. Yeah. I got a good look at him.

This here ain't the fella I saw.

Well, he's Maverick, ain't he?

I don't know. I ain't never seen Maverick before.

Yeah, this is Maverick. Well, I just don't understand.

Look, Kelly's bartender and the waiter at the soup bowl and half a dozen other

people heard a fellow named Maverick asking after Ellsworth just for the

killing, right? Right.

All right, when I seen the killer running off, I figured it must be

Maybe there's another Maverick.

No, Maverick ain't no likely name.

There can't be many with a handle like that.

I could have kinfolk.

He's got a brother, Bob Maverick.

You keep out of this. Where can we find this Bart Maverick?

I wouldn't know.

Well, wherever he is, we're going to find him. And if he's the one that

Ellsworth... Let's go, boys.

So long, Maverick.

So long.

But it wasn't Bart who was asking about Ellsworth Haynes. It was you. You told

me. That's right.

But now I'm completely out of it. There's no point in me getting involved

Yeah, but now they're gunning for your brother.

Well, at least they've got to find him.

Yeah, but what if they do?

Well, that's his problem.

Oh, Brett, sometimes I just don't understand you.

True words were never spoken.

Well, the least you could do is warn Bart.

Right. Come on. Where are we going?

The telegraph office.

Bart is in Canyon City.

Thought we'd wire him, tell him Haynes is looking for him.

Hey, wait a minute.

Canyon City.

Canyon City, huh?

Joe!

Joe, stop the stage!

What is it, Sheriff? You! Out!

Me? Why?

But I protect. I emphatically protect.

Are you Marvin Dilby? And if I am? Is this your bag?

And if it is? We'll protest your head off. We are confiscating its contents.

you can't. You mustn't. You have no right.

Banders! What do you want with that?

Where's the money?

Money? Well, I'm afraid there isn't very much. I only sold a few pairs.

I don't understand it. It's an excellent item.

Finest elastic.

See the stretch.

I'll take two carts.

All right, Mr. Maverick, don't move. That's a gun on your neck.

Smokey.

Oh, we're cute, aren't we?

Flowered carpet bag, indeed.

It's clever, I'll give you that.

There was only one thing wrong.

You shouldn't have waited. Did you think I wouldn't be back?

I didn't think it mattered, since I'm not the one you're looking for.

Oh, no. No more tricks.

You're not going to fool me again. Once bitten, twice shy.

Now, get up.

I hate to disappoint you, Mr. Purchase, but there's been a mistake.

There's been no mistake.

You're Maverick?

Yeah. There it is.

Maverick wanted for robbery and murder.

Well, I'm the wrong Maverick. The one they're looking for is my brother.

Splendid. What a wonderful imagination.

Always up to something.

But this time it's not going to work. Once bitten, twice... Ask anyone in

He's right.

No,

I'm not going to believe it.

I'm afraid you'll have to, Mr. Burgess.

Put away the gun, Burgess.

What? That's not the man we want.

Well, are you sure?

Jed Haynes was in town and I found out that's not the man we want.

Well,

it's not fair.

Not fair at all.

He works his fingers to the bone.

$5 ,000 reward for the return of the stolen money.

Come to think of it, I may be in the wrong game.

Morning. Morning, sir.

Oh, Mr. Marris.

Say, have you heard the news?

What news? Well, the stage just got in from Canyon City, and the driver said

Haynes found your brother Bart there.

Oh? Yep, this time there's no mistake. They found the goods on your brother

Bart. What goods?

Empty money pouch from the Wells Fargo office at Red Rock Junction.

They found the pouch right in his room.

How about that?

Well, how about the money itself?

Well, he done hid it or spent it. But he didn't have it on him.

No, but they found the pouch. And that makes him a robber and a murderer. Oh,

now, you said it. I didn't. I bet Jed Haynes said it.

Yep. He claimed that your brother was the man he saw.

And they done shot it out.

Well, who won?

Mr. Maverick, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this.

Well, that's why you came over here as soon as you heard the news.

Mr. Maverick, your brother Bart is dead.

Well, I see.

Well, I want to thank you for telling me.

What are you going to do about it?

Well, first off, I'm going in and have some breakfast.

Thanks again, Amy.

Well, how about that?

I'm going to miss you, Brad.

I may be around again.

I hope so.

For my sake and for Smokey's.

I think you could be a good influence on him.

That's the first time anybody ever said that about me.

Well, I mean it.

He's so filled up with ideas of bravado and false nobility. And you think I

could teach him some good old -fashioned cowardice and selfishness?

Words are funny.

I'd call it prudence, thoughtfulness, and wisdom, and modesty.

That's a tall order for any one human being.

Not so tall.

Holly.

I don't figure I'm going to teach Smokey anything.

As a matter of fact, he's the one that's going to teach me.

That's why I think I'll leave without seeing him.

Would you tell him goodbye for me?

Of course.

Well... Well?

Goodbye, Brett.

Uh -oh.

Oh, hi, Brett.

I know you didn't want to get going, so I saddled your horse for you.

Thank you.

Oh,

come on, Smokey. Oh, I'm going with you.

Oh, Smokey, I couldn't ask you to do that. Oh, I got to.

Can't let a pal down.

Well, I'm sure you would never do a thing like that. Well, then.

Well, what about your sister? She needs you.

Oh, she'll be okay.

Well, you shouldn't leave her alone.

This is a rough part of the country.

Yeah, you're right.

Why don't you stop by and ask the sheriff to keep an eye on her while I'm

Hey, Brett, that's the way to Red Rock Junction.

Canyon City's that way.

I know it.

Well, do you think Keynes went to Red Rock?

I don't know.

I don't know why he would. He doesn't live there. He used to go visit his

brother. Now that his brother's gone, he's got no call to go back.

You may be right.

Let's go back to Canyon City. That's where he was last.

Maybe we can pick up his trail.

What would I want to do that for? What for?

He killed your brother.

Maybe he deserved it.

Well, how can you say that?

Well, if he's a thief and a murderer... Ah, he couldn't be. How do you know?

Well, because he's your brother.

All right, Smokey, have it your way. Right now, I got more important things

think about than Brother Bart and Jed Haynes.

What's that?

$5 ,000.

I'll see you, Smokey.

Hey, Brad.

You didn't mean those evil things you were saying.

What evil things?

Oh, about your brother.

Didn't I?

No, you were just joking.

What makes you so sure?

Well, because you're a pal, and a pal wouldn't talk like that.

That seems logical.

You know, Smokey, I have an idea that no matter what I say or do, you'd never

lose faith in me.

Well, of course not. I'm your pal.

Yeah.

Evening, sir.

Brett Maverick, what are you doing here?

Well, I wanted Dead or Alive.

I'm alive.

Your brother's dead, since it turns out that he was the one we wanted. I see

you've heard from Canyon City. You knew we would. Otherwise, you wouldn't have

dast to come back here.

By the way, why did you come?

Curiosity.

Judd Haynes killed Brother Bart, but he neglected to find out what he did with

the cash.

That wasn't very smart.

He was interested in revenge, not the $50 ,000.

Well, if somebody did come up with the $50 ,000, I assume that the reward still

goes. You got any ideas?

I might think about it if I figured it was worthwhile.

It is.

Ten percent of whatever's recovered.

Now, what have you got for ideas?

Well, now, not so fast.

Put up your hands, Maverick. You too, young fellow.

What's this all about, Sheriff? You're under arrest.

On what charge?

Accessory. All right, so it was your brother who'd done the actual shooting.

that don't say that you wasn't in on the job with him.

Leastwise, he left the money with you, or where you could find it. I was afraid

you'd come up with something like this.

All right, then, how come you know where the money is?

Who says I do?

You did!

I just said I'd think about it. All right, you better think good, boy.

And you better tell me what you know.

Otherwise, it's gonna get mighty tough for you.

Look, Sheriff.

If I had anything to do with the $50 ,000 robbery, would I settle for $5 ,000

reward for bringing it in?

Well, you see my point.

Just what is your game, Maverick?

I just thought we ought to have an understanding, Sheriff.

Now, you show your good faith by releasing me, and I'll show you mine by

bringing in the money, if I locate it.

All right, then. Lock me up. See what good that does you.

All right, Maverick.

It's a deal.

We do it your way. You got to give me your word, though. When I bring the

in, no questions. Just give me the reward and none of this accessory

I agree.

See you, Sheriff.

Let's go, Smokey.

Where do we go from here?

We're going to visit Ellsworth Haynes.

Ellsworth Haynes?

Yeah, but he's dead.

And buried. So let's go pay our respects.

I don't like it, Brett. I don't like it at all.

You want me to take over?

Well, it's not the work that's bothering me, but that's a crate in a grave.

I have a hunch it's already been done.

Huh?

Never mind.

If you want to pull out, you go ahead and pull out. I won't hold it against

I promise. I'll never pull out.

I wonder what I did to deserve such loyalty.

What are we going to do with the body when we get to it?

I'm hoping we won't come to it.

What do you mean? You don't think he's in here? Is that what you're trying to

prove? No.

Well, what then?

If you're going to dig, dig.

Hey,

I hit something. It's not a rock.

That's it, Smokey.

Pull it out. Pull it out.

It's on the back of the money pouch. The 50 ,000? The 50 ,000. Come on, get the

other one.

Come on.

Don't that beat all.

How'd you come to know that the money was in the grave?

Well, first off, I knew that Jed Haynes didn't kill my brother Bart.

Well, who did?

Well, frankly, I haven't any idea.

But I did know that Brother Bart wasn't anywhere near the Canyon City at the

time. Is that the reason you told Jed Haynes that until he'd gone to Wild

Chase? That's right.

Well, who did Jed Haynes kill?

I don't have any idea.

Well, I'm sure glad it wasn't your brother.

Well, I just couldn't believe that you'd take his murder so casual.

Because, you know, when a fellow's brother is killed, it's up to the

brother to get the fellow that killed the fellow's brother.

I've heard that.

Well, I just knew you thought that way all the time, Fred.

But there's still one thing that bothers me.

What's that?

How did you come to know that the money was in the grave?

Because he's smart.

Maybe too smart for his own good. Don't move, neither of you.

Just take them gun belts off and toss them in that hole. Slow and easy like...

Oh, you got it all figured out, huh, Maverick?

Well, I figured out that you killed your brother and took the cash.

Your brother?

Just can't figure out who you did kill in Canyon City.

Had to kill somebody.

After Ellsworth got himself killed, all my old pals kept telling me how a

brother has to avenge his brother's death.

See? I've heard that.

So I had to make a show of hunting murder.

You was a likely choice, Maverick. Of course, I hoped I'd never catch up with

you. My luck was bad.

Then how come you backed out of the showdown if you know he didn't kill your

brother? Were you just scared?

Never you mind.

I've said my piece.

You just turn around.

Both of you.

You were scared.

Oh, I was scared. What's the difference?

You ain't gonna tell nobody.

Sure, Maverick looked like he could maybe out -draw me.

I picked me out an old drunk in Canyon City. Looked like he couldn't hit the

side of the barn.

He couldn't.

Now you turn around.

Leave them gun belts to me.

Like I was saying, you turn around.

Just a minute, Haynes.

I followed you all the way from Canyon City.

Now you host with that gun and I'll host with mine.

And we'll find out who's the fastest draw.

Hey, you killed him.

Just who are you, stranger?

Nobody special.

When a fella killed another fella's brother.

You mean the man he killed in Canyon City?

Yeah.

That was my brother.

There you are. $5 ,000.

I sure do thank you, sir.

Well, I guess I... We better be going.

So long.

So long.

Well, hello there, Brother Bart.

Red, what's going on around here anyway? Here he is, Sheriff. Bart Maverick,

wanted for robbery and murder.

I'll bet you thought I'd fall for that yarn about your brother being in Canyon

City.

You know, once bitten.

Well, finally I got around to asking a few questions about where he really was.

Here he is.

Yeah, he sure is.

You know, Mr. Burgess, I think you're just too smart for me.

Yeah?

Well, so long, Mr. Burgess. Come on, Smokey. See you, Brother Bart. Hey, now,

Brett, wait a minute.

Who is the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

Riding the trail to who knows where, luck is his companion, gambling is his

game. 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.

New Orleans,

living on Jackson, Queens.

Maverick is a legend of the West.

Riverboat, ring your bell.

Farewell, Annabelle. Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

New Orleans, living on Jackson, Queens.
