All language subtitles for Maverick S4E03 - The Town That Wasnt Therev ENGLISH

So, there I was..

Three miserable cattlemen..

And big bruisers too!

Lookin' for trouble.

Well, sheepman never backed away
from a cattleman yet.

Just what are you yokels
tryin' to pull on me?

Oh, I can't imagine what
you're talkin' about, Shanks.

A Warner
Bros. Television production.

When the railroads came West

there was friendly rivalry
between the towns

as to which one
would get railroad service.

But with that indomitable spirit

of good ol' American tradition
and fair play

these disputes were settled
with larger conversions.

Of course, logic sometimes had
to be backed up with bullets.

On the other hand,
there were towns

that had a different
sort of battle

in tryin' to bring
the railroad their way.

Silver Hill, for example.

Blastin' hot.

You don't know what heat is.

Why, I mind the time
in Furnace Valley

when you didn't need
to build a fire to make coffee.

You just set the coffee pot
out on the sand.

First trip out here, eh?

Yes.

Mine too.

The last I hope.

Well, you
can quit your gripin' now.

Silver Hill's exactly
one mile away.

Exactly?
How can you be so sure?

Because Ernie just threw away
his whisky bottle. That's how.

Heh heh. Happens every time.

Take a look.

Must be a pretty powerful
drinker.

No, no. Just one bottle
on that pile

for each trip he's made
from Denver to Silver Hill.

Yeah, one bottle a month.

What kind of a town
is this Silver Hill?

The old mess of people,
mess of buildings..

Messin' up the countryside.

Not so many
people left there now though.

Not since the silver mine
petered out.

Silver Hill just ahead!

A drink at The Nugget Saloon
will taste mighty good.

That's right.

Maybe two.

'Woah! Woah! Halt!'

Great Jehoshaphat!

The whole town,
it's plum disappeared.

Huh?

- Hey, Old Timer.
- Huh?

You see what I see?

I don't see what you don't see.

Silver Hill. It is gone.
Plum wiped off the map.

You mean Silver Hill's supposed
to be down there in the valley?

It was the last time I was here.

Things like this
just don't happen.

I've heard of people
disappearing.

And those pack rats
that steal little things.

But a whole town, look!

A town doesn't disappear.

You've made a mistake,
that's all.

Silver Hill's probably
over the next hill.

Mister, I've made this trip
dozens of time.

I tell you there's no mistake.

- The town is gone.
- He's right.

And I'm not gonna stay
around a place like this.

I'm headin' back for Denver and
reportin' that to the marshal.

Are you comin'?

'Don't you think
we ought to go down there'

'and look around first?'

Mister, if you tell me there's
a hundred Injuns down there

I'd go chargin' and hoopin' down
there with a gun in both hands.

But a man can't fight
this spooky business.

Well, are you comin'?

Hyah! Hyah!

I rode in to Silver Hill
just a month ago.

There was a rare old man
named Shanks with us.

And there was this here
gamblin' feller..

What was his name again?

- It's hot.
- Hot?

Sure, young feller.

I mind a time in Furnace Valley

it was so hot, I had to build
a fire to cool down my dinner.

Would you two gentlemen
care for a friendly game?

It'll help pass the time.

Those are the devil's
pasteboards.

Oh, no, sir. They're mine.

Card playing is a vice
which I do not indulge in.

Well, it's hardly a vice.

It has provided me
with a very good livelihood.

You mean
you're a professional gambler?

Aren't we all?

You buy land for the railroad,
I understand.

Isn't that gambling of a sort?

I see no connection
between legitimate business

and shameful gambling.

Right on the button, Ernie.

Uh, anybody care for a smoke?

I do not gamble, sir,
nor smoke... nor drink.

Do you have any vices?

I'm a businessman.

You know, I can understand
a railroad man

comin' to Silver Hill
with a railroad on its way

but it beats me
why a gambler would go up there?

In Denver, two weeks ago,
I won the Silver Hill mine.

From-from Mort Stebbins?

Mm-hmm.
Pretty good thing I'm told.

It was a pretty good thing,
you mean.

Till it petered out
two months ago.

No silver?

No, not a sliver.

The miners has left town too.

The only ones that's left
is the townsfolk.

And if it hadn't been
for the railroad comin' in

they'd have skedaddled too.

That mine is the reason
we routed the railroad

to Silver Hill.

Too late to change now,
ain't it?

I suppose so.

Silver Hill just ahead!

Hyah!

Well, not much,
but it's got a saloon.

Ooh, I'd say you needed
a drink real bad.

What I need is a guardian.

Uh, friends..

I wondered if you'd..

Well, sort of not mention
to the good people

of Silver Hill that I'm here
to represent the railroad.

'Fraid they might jack up
the land prices?

Well, something like that.

Oh, I pay fair prices,
but not exorbitant ones.

Let us say that
I'm a mining speculator.

Oh, well, I was taken
by a citizen of Silver Hill.

So I guess turnabout
is fair play.

Your secret's safe with me.

Woah! Hold that here!

Well, I'm headed for The Nugget.

You gents care to join me
for a drink?

Well, thanks.

As I told you, I do not imbibe.

Mr. Shanks, you don't drink..

You don't smoke,
you don't gamble.

My Uncle Beauregarde used
to tell me about those things.

It's obvious you failed
to take his avuncular advice.

On the contrary, sir,
I've obeyed him to the letter.

I'm prepared to give you $500
for your property.

Mr. Shanks, you are whistling
up the rainspout.

I beg your pardon.

Now, just a minute, Maggie.

My father paid $2000
for this land.

And we are not about
to be swindled out of it.

Swindled?

Well, really..

There ain't no cause for you to
insult the gentleman, daughter.

Daddy,
this gentleman's insulted us.

'Five hundred dollars!'

We cleared more
than that last year

just raising vegetables
for the miners on it.

Well, that's just the point.

The miners have gone, and your
land isn't worth what it was.

But the railroad's comin'
through here.

Surely they'll give us
a fair price.

Mr. Bradford, I have it
on good authority

that the railroad is going
to bypass Silver Hill.

Well, if that's true
then why do you want the land?

Well, I'm a mining speculator.

There could be more silver
in the neighborhood.

I'm willing to chance it.

Do you accept?

What are you in such a rush for?

My dear young lady,
in my business, time is money.

But I'm not rushing.

You talk it over
with your father.

Take your time.

Within reason, that is.
Say 24 hours.

Well... we'll talk it over,
Mr. Shanks.

And we'll let you know.

Oh, by the way who are
the other major land owners

in Silver Hill?

Well, there's Jake Moody
and Lem Barker.

George Smith, Jeb Ryan..

- I'm Jake Moody.
- Lem Barker.

- George Smith.
- Jeb Ryan.

Beau Maverick.

I warn you, Maverick, we're all
a little short of cash.

Oh, I don't have too much
of the long green myself.

But we're all land owners.

So if you'll accept IOUs
against property.

That's fine by me.

Well, we've heard
this railroad land agent

will be coming here pretty soon,
so I guess it'll be safe.

That is, ha ha, if you're
lucky enough to win.

Oh, I'll take that chance.

Your deal, sir.

It's mighty nice of you
to let me bunk in with you.

Oh, it's my pleasure.

My wife'd kill me
if I got in this late

after playing poker
most of the night.

It might've been different
had I won though.

You do have to face her
sometime.

She's a lot easier to handle
when the sun is shinin'.

Aren't they all?

You know, I never saw so much
luck in a poker game before.

Let's see,
you won 10% of my land..

15% of Smith's and Barker's
and 20% of Ryan's.

You own quite a share
in this town.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Oh, put that gun away,
you crook.

Now, see here.

I ran into some friends
of mine tonight

by the name of Bradford.

You ought to be ashamed
of yourself

tryin' to cheat
honest decent folks

like Sam Bradford
and his daughter.

Oh, that daughter
can look after herself.

And the offer I made to them
is perfectly legal.

They don't have to accept it.

And they ain't gonna accept it

neither or not after I told them
who you really were.

- You didn't.
- I sure did.

And the word'll spread. Now
you'll have to pay fair prices.

Why, you!

It's quite an argument
they're having next door.

You keep your nose
out of my business.

Don't you tell me to keep
my nose out of your business!

- I hear Shank's voice.
- Who?

Shanks. The land agent
for the railroad.

That feller?

Why, he's been tellin' everybody
that he's a minin' speculator.

So he could buy land cheaper.

Why, that miserable cheapskate.

Here, let me listen too.

It is none of your business!

Oh, you're not gonna make a fool
out of my friends.

I can't make out
what's being said.

Neither can I.

Here, I'll fix that.

Works like a doctor's
stethoscope.

Why don't you take your lickin'
like a man, Shanks?

You've got to have land for your
railroad here in Silver Hill.

Why don't you go out and buy it?
Stop tryin' to cheat the folks.

What makes you think I have to
buy a property in Silver Hill?

Because railroad engine's got
to have water. Lots of water.

And Silver Hill's the only place
around for miles

that's got a big enough
water supply.

How would you like
to work for me?

I might be able to stand it
if it paid enough.

Alright, let me
show you something.

You're wrong if you think
Silver Hill is the only place

around here that has water.

Lambert's Wells.

I happen to know that
that sheep ranch

has as much water
as Silver Hill.

I don't have to stay here
and be held up.

It's an easy matter to reroute
the track to Lambert's Wells.

If you can buy the land
from the owner.

I can offer him a good price.
And a lot less than here.

But there ain't no town there.

Towns grow up around
railroad centers.

Now, you want to earn $50?

For what?

Well, I'll need a guide
to take me to Lambert's Wells.

Who do you think I am?
Daniel Boone?

If you don't take me

I'm sure there're
lots of others who will.

Yeah, and I ain't gonna like it.

And I want my money in advance.

You shall have it,
but we've got to get there

before the Lambert's Wells man
finds out I'm a railroad agent.

Now, you round up a couple
of horses while I get dressed.

'You mean you
wanna leave tonight?'

Certainly. If you don't want
the job, say so.

I don't want the job.

But I do want the money.

Hmm.

There it goes, Maverick.

The land in Silver Hill..

Your interest in it
isn't worth a plug nickel.

Don't say die so fast.

If we could beat him
to Lambert's Wells..

And what'll we use for money?

We'll worry about that when we
get there. Come on, get dressed.

Can you get a couple of horses?

Yes, but I don't see how
we can outbid the rail...

Neither do I.
But we have to do something.

Now, if we can stop him
from buying Lambert's Wells

he'll have to buy Silver Hill.

Lambert's Wells.

'It doesn't look
like a railroad center, does it?'

No. I reckon we beat him.

Let's make sure.

Hey there, quit shootin'!

We're not gunnin' for you.

You cattlemen! Get!

We're not cattlemen,
we're from Silver Hill.

We just want to talk to you.

If you ain't cattlemen,
you're welcome.

Come on slow.

I'm Beau Maverick.
This is Jake Moody.

Howdy.

Howdy.

I'm Joe Lambert.

I don't get many visitors.

Leastways not friendly ones.

I'm a sheepherder.

It's fine. There's nothing
I like better than lamb chops.

Can't stand 'em myself.

You wanna step inside?

Uh, if you don't mind, I'd like
to put our horses in your shed.

Alright. It's around back.

- Thank you kindly.
- Alright.

What'd you wanna see me about?

Well, your land.

Would you consider selling it?

You bet I would.

And I wouldn't drive
a very hard bargain neither.

I was afraid of that.

But on the other hand,
you wouldn't wanna be cheated

out of your land, would you?

Nobody ever cheated Joe Lambert
and got away with it.

Oh, I can see you're a man
of integrity and ethics.

You obviously wear a mantle
of keen business discernment.

Well, generally
I just wear these overalls.

I got the horses put away
in the nick of time.

Shanks and the old man
are comin'.

Mr. Lambert, you said
no one had ever cheated you.

There's a fellow coming up your
door who's gonna try awful hard.

You two fellas seem friendly

but I don't know
what you're up to.

I smell a rat.

The rat's name is Wilber Shanks.

Here's a couple
of fellers comin'.

They don't look
like cattlemen neither.

So I reckon
I can be friendly to them.

We're late.

We ain't got time to explain
nothin' to him.

You give up too easy.

Well, maybe he's out
tendin' his sheep.

Hey, take a look at this.

"Gone to Denver on business.
Back in two weeks. Joe Lambert."

What's that?

Mm, pack rats.
Don't pay 'em no heed.

You ain't got anything
they want.

No, but this Joe Lambert's
got somethin' I want.

Can you guide me to Denver?

For another 50 bucks,
in advance.

Let's get goin'. Now.

And I thought you two
as friendly.

We are, but we didn't
have time to explain.

You started actin'
like cattlemen.

If you'll just calm down
and listen.

I'm listenin'.

Two weeks ago in Denver
I was in a poker game

which was a little crooked.

You fellas just don't know
what this mean.

Imagine, me, a sheepherder

bein' asked to step up to a bar.

Why, that's why we invited you
to Silver Hill.

To show you what fine folks
us mining people are.

Sure wish you folks
had enough money to buy my land.

But if that Mr. Shanks fella

gives me a good enough offer
I have to sell it to him.

We can understand that,
Mr. Lambert.

Oh, just call me Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

You do realize Shanks doesn't
wanna buy your whole ranch.

Just a strip down the middle

large enough to accommodate
the railroad tracks

and for a town to be built.

Oh, that'd be fine with me.

That way
I could still raise sheep

and have lots of company
to boot.

And I like people.

Well, Joe, you..

You know what kind of people
will build this town

by the railroad tracks?

Why, folks like you, I reckon.

The only people around here
with money are..

Cattlemen?

Who else?

Shanks'll soon buy enough land
from you for his railroad

then sell some of it to the only
customers around here

rich enough to put up
the necessary town buildings.

Then I ain't gonna do it.

No, sir.

Money ain't that important.

Not if it means havin' cattlemen
on my sheep ranch.

Joe, I have a proposal.

I think that you can still sell
your land to Shanks

and have a town
full of nice friendly people

without a single cattlemen
amongst them.

How?

Let's have another drink.

'Please be
seated, ladies and gentlemen.'

'Be seated, please.'

'Please find seats, everyone!'

Gentlemen..

Ladies. As you all know
by now, this man Shanks

is the land agent
for the railroad.

What you don't know
is that he's decided

not to run his railroad
through Silver Hill.

He has decided to buy
the necessary land

from my friend Joe Lambert here.

Mr. Lambert has a sheep ranch
about 20 miles to the North.

'It has an excellent
water supply.'

So it's only natural
that a town will be built there.

Mr. Lambert has made us
a generous offer.

He wants the people
of Silver Hill

to build the new town.
And he'll sell us the land now.

Well, look here, Maverick.

You know as well as I do,
we're broke.

Where do we get the money
to buy Lambert's land?

Oh, you don't need any.

Joe Lambert will let you have
the land for no money down.

You can pay him later after your
business starts making money.

That is,
after the railroad comes in.

At the same time you can pay me
back for those IOUs I have.

- 'Mr. Maverick.'
- Yes, ma'am?

You don't sound like
a very good businessman to me.

Oh, it's all very well
that Mr. Lambert is willing

to let us have the land.

And on such a generous basis.

But where do folks get the money
to buy the lumber

and other materials necessary
to build the new town?

You may have a point there.

I ain't bein' critical,
Maverick.

But I think
here's to all fired up

about them poker debts
we owe you..

You just ain't thinkin'
practical.

Now, wait a minute.
You don't have to start over.

We'll move this town

lock, stock and barrel
to Lambert's ranch.

You have wagons.

Now, all the stores and houses
are a frame construction.

So we'll knock 'em down in
sections, load 'em on the wagons

and reassemble 'em
when we get to Lambert's ranch.

It's only 20 miles.

No, no, it'll never work.

- Daddy..
- Well, it might work.

It's our only chance.

She's right.
And Maverick's right.

By George, it will work.

Now listen, all of you.

It's our only chance.

We'll form work committees
right away.

Sure, sure,
there'll be problems.

But we'll beat 'em.
We've got to beat 'em.

If we don't, we are all
as good as bankrupt.

And our land right here
isn't worth a plugged nickel.

Neither are those IOUs
I have in my pocket.

Well, I'm willing to try.

I only got me a shack down here,
but I reckon I can move it up

to Lambert's place
in three-four wagon loads.

That's the spirit, dad.

Gosh, I never been kissed
by a woman before.

Leastways not such a pretty one.

Imagine, a sheepherder
being kissed.

Just goes to show you

what kind of folks you're gonna
have for neighbors, Joe.

Well, what do you say?

Shall we get to work?

It's real simple. All you have
to do is code everything.

When you put it back together
at Lambert's ranch

you just check the code

to make sure everything
goes back in the same place.

- 'Maverick. Beau Maverick.'
- Yes, sheriff?

I've got a small problem.

'Alright, men,
let's let her down. Come on.'

I don't see any problem,
sheriff.

Just keep watching, you will.

Sheriff! Please let me out!

It's the end of the world,
I tell ya!

I locked him up last night.
He's in for 30 days.

What'll I do? I can't
leave him out in the open.

Give him a suspended sentence,
it'll be charitable.

And you won't have to feed him.

Say, you are a smart one.

Well, just one more
building to go.

It'll be as clean as a whistle.

Not quite clean as a whistle.
In fact, it's a mess.

What do you suggest, ma'am?

Well, my mother always said
"You should never move

from a place unless
you leave it broom clean."

Couldn't you clean up a little?

You're talkin'
to the right man, Maggie.

That's what Mr. Maverick
does best. Clean up.

Especially at the poker table.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I'll ask the wagon driver to
come back and take care of it.

How about it?

Well, no point in arguin'
with Maggie.

But what'll we do with the junk?
Can't just sweep it under a rug.

Wrap it up as a present
for Wilber Shanks.

Rather throw the old skinflint
down your mind, Maverick.

Yes, just what you can do.

He's in Denver.

Not Shanks, the junk.
Dump it down the mineshaft.

That's a good idea.

Oh, okay, we'll do it
in a couple of days.

If you don't mind I'll throw in
a few sticks of dynamite.

Why should I? Throw in a couple
for me while you're at it.

Okay.

- Goodbye now.
- Goodbye.

Hi, Pete.

Well, Joe.

Imagine, a whole town
full of friendly folk

and not a single cattleman
among 'em.

This's the happiest day
of my life.

Oh, we ain't got
much money now, Joe

but you just wait
till the railroad gets here.

'The Nugget'll serve more drinks
than you ever thought possible.'

'The hotel will overflow
every night.'

My general store..

Well, we'll all be rich.

And you can start paying me
for the land.

Oh, don't worry.
I won't press you for payment.

Not 'til business
gets real good.

Why, I'm so happy havin'
all you folks for friends.

I could burst out cryin'.

Don't you worry none, Joe.
You'll get your money.

And so will you, Maverick.

Us minin' folks
are mighty mindful of our debts.

You'll be paid in full
for all those IOUs.

Oh, I'm countin' on it.

Uh, Moody, I suppose we better
get ready for a visitor.

A visitor?

Mm-hmm. From Denver.

'Paging
Mr. Betton. Call for Mr. Betton.'

'Call for Mr. Betton.'

Mmm, I don't know.

You've been here
two weeks, Shanks.

And you failed to uncover
any trace of Joe Lambert.

Even the marshal
hasn't heard of him.

Don't you think it's possible
that he's gone back

to his sheep ranch?

Oh, you're right, of course,
Mr. Cromwell.

And I shall start back
in the morning.

Uh, but, Mr. Cromwell..

Why don't you come with me?

Mmm, I'd like to, Shanks,
but I can't get away.

Although as I've said,
I'm not too keen on departing

from our original plans to run
the land through Silver Hill.

If the mine hadn't petered out

I would never have
allowed the change.

You can rely on me, sir

to turn over a nice piece
of business for the railroad.

Well, just remember this,
Shanks.

The railroad is interested
in bargains.

But we're not interested
in cheating the people.

Oh, of course not, sir.
Of course not.

- Goodnight, Shanks.
- Goodnight, sir.

Well, well, still in town,
huh, Shanks?

You, um, have any luck
finding Joe Lambert?

No. He must have gone back.

But I'm heading out
to his ranch tomorrow.

You, uh, wanna hire out again?

No, not me. No, I'm taking the
next stage back to Silver Hill.

Travelin" with you
is too rich for my blood.

No matter. I can find
my way back to the ranch.

Well, I'll be seein' you.

Well, not in Silver Hill,
you won't.

I've no further business there.

I don't intend to lay eyes
on that place again.

Now if you'll excuse me.

What'd you do?

So, there I was..

Three miserable cattlemen..

And big bruisers too!

Lookin' for trouble.

Well, sheepman never backed away
from a cattleman yet.

Just what are you yokels
tryin' to pull on me?

Oh, I can't imagine what
you're talkin' about, Shanks.

Pulling something on you?

What do you call it?

Movin' the whole town
of Silver Hill

to the middle
of Lambert's ranch.

And right where
I intended to buy land

for the railroad track.

Well, that's pretty astonishing.

We never dreamed
of such a thing.

I don't know how you found out.

Or how you moved the town but...

Now don't get all head up,
Mr. Shanks.

I'm Joe Lambert.
And I own this land.

Except for the little bit I sold
to the Silver Hill people.

Now, there's a nice,
straight stretch of land

set aside for your railroad.

So, if and when
you wanna talk business..

Alright.

I know when I'm licked.

What kind of fortune
do you want?

Well, I wouldn't say
fortune exactly

but according
to my business advisors here...

You mean, fellow robbers?

Woah!

Mr. Maverick!

'Mr. Maverick!'

Let's take a look.
Something's happened.

Here, look at this.

Why, that's the richest piece
of silver ore I've ever seen.

Where'd you get it?

We dumped all that junk down
the old mine at Silver Hill

throwed in sticks of dynamite,
when the smoke cleared away

we had a brand new
vein of silver.

Well, Maverick, looks like
that mine you won from Stebbins

made you a wealthy man
after all.

I beg to differ with you.

It means my railroad
will be wealthy.

What do you mean your railroad?

Just that.

It's obvious there's a rich mine
at Silver Hill after all.

So I'm going to reroute
the railroad back through there

to take advantage
of the ore shipments.

So?

You people made a mistake
tearing down your buildings

your houses and moving away.

Under the state law
that means you deserted the land

so it reverts to public domain.

And the railroad
being a public utility

can legally make claim to it
without paying you one red cent.

Sheriff, I demand you tell
these people that what I say

is merely the law and
it's your duty to uphold it.

I'm afraid he's right, folks.
He knows the law alright.

You bet I do.

And as legal representative of
a public utility of the railroad

I'm going right over
to Silver Hill

and staking out all the land
I need, including the mine.

Sheriff, isn't there
something we can do?

Well, you got us into this.

No, I'm afraid not.

Shanks is right.

By dynamiting your mineshaft,
tearing down the buildings

and movin' 'em
out of Silver Hill

we lost all claim to the land.

Now we're in worse shape
than ever.

We owe poor Joe here
for all this land.

Oh, don't you fret none
about that, Mr. Moody.

As I said before,
it's enough for me

just havin' friends
like you around.

Maybe you'd all like to
take up sheep ranching.

Uh, sheriff... suppose..

Now, just suppose,
that before Shanks can get back

to stake out his railroad claim

all the Silver Hill buildings
are back in place

as they were before.

Now you're a smart man,
Mr. Maverick

but you're not smart enough
to move this whole town

back to Silver Hill
before Shanks can get there.

He's starting now and there's
nothin' you can do about it.

You're right, sheriff,
there's nothing I can do.

But there's something
you can do.

Me?

You're the law, aren't you?

Yeah.

Hey, Shanks, hold up there.

Well..

Your horse looks
a mite tired, Shanks.

He should be. I rode him
all the way from Denver.

But not too worn out
to take me to Silver Hill.

Well, now, I'd say he was.

What are you gettin' at?

Why, a law we got around here.

About overworkin'
a poor defenseless animal.

I'm afraid I'll have to
arrest you, Shanks.

- It's an open and shut case.
- Open and shut case?

Why, you miserable excuse
for a lawman, I'll...

We've also got a law
about payin' proper respect

for the law.

There's also a law about
resistin' arrest, Shanks.

Looks like we got us
a mighty wet railroad man.

A mighty sanitary one too.

That stuff there is sheep dip.

It's goin' pretty quick
this time.

Well, practice makes perfect.

Yeah, I've noticed that
playin' poker with you.

I've got another problem,
Maverick.

I can't keep him locked up
after tomorrow.

That's the full penalty
prescribed by law

for abusin' his horse.

That'll be more than
enough time.

By the way, sheriff,
have you seen Joe Lambert?

I've been meaning
to talk to him.

Poor feller, he's taken
all his pretty hard.

He's holed up over in his shack.

Mind if I come in, Joe?

I'm sorry about this.

It was too good to last,
Mr. Maverick.

I had plans, you know.

They was concernin'..

Well, a certain young lady.

But I guess I was always
meant to be a sheepherder

and live alone.

But it was nice havin'
all you folks for friends.

I... guess this is all
my fault in a way.

I had the town move here
in the first place.

Joe, I want you to have this.

You're gonna move to Silver Hill
with the rest of the town.

Move with the town?

Stay with my friends?

But I can't leave
my sheep ranch, Mr. Maverick.

That's the only place I got.

Oh, not anymore.

That's the deed
to the Silver Hill mine.

You're a rich man, Joe.

Now you can go ahead
with your plans

concerning that
certain young lady.

But I can't take this,
Mr. Maverick.

I got my pride.

I'm not exactly giving it
to you, Joe.

In exchange, you're gonna give
me the deed to this sheep ranch.

Then, after I've collected
my IOUs from Moody, Ryan

Barker and Smith,
I'm going back to Denver.

And I'm going to sell
this sheep ranch

to a certain Mort Stebbins.

- Mr. Maverick.
- Call me Beau.

It needed a job up there,
didn't it?

Just like you said,
Mr. Maverick.

And they said
it couldn't be done.

Hello, sheriff.

I reckon your sentence
is up, Mr. Shanks.

You're a free man.

You can't make a fool out of me.

Looks like somebody
beat us to that already.

I shall have the last laugh yet.

I shall not run the railroad
through Silver Hill

ore shipments
or no ore shipments.

Not after the way
I've been treated.

Alright, Lambert,
name your price.

The railroad's going through
your sheep ranch after all.

You're talking
to the wrong man, Mr. Shanks.

I don't own my ranch anymore.

He does.

'Oh.'

You own it.

Alright, Maverick,
I'll go the limit.

Ten thousand dollars.

Did you say $10,000?

I did. You can't refuse
an offer like that.

It's far more
than the land is worth.

Oh, no. Not again.

Them buildings couldn't stand
being moved again.

And I'd be alone again.

With the mine.

Oh, I'm sorry, Wilber ol' boy,
the land is not for sale.

You'll never get an offer
like this again.

My old uncle used to say

"There are things
more important than money."

But he'd never found one.

I guess, for once,
Uncle Beau was wrong.

Well, now, looks like
you'll have to run your land

through Silver Hill.

But we won't
give you no trouble.

Of course, knowin' that you'll
go as high as 10,000

it'll be a big help.

Alright.

You've got me.

Get all the land owners together
in a hotel lobby with the deeds.

Let's get it over with.

Ten thousand dollars.

If Uncle Beau knew about this

he'd send me back
to England for sure.

This wild yarn about a town
bein' missin'

it better be true.

We all saw it.

I mean, we didn't see it.

There wasn't a trace
of Silver Hill.

But a town,
a whole town full of people

can't just disappear
into nothin'. It's preposterous.

You'll see, marshal, you'll see.

Eh, we're almost there.

Exactly one mile away.

Woah! Woah!

Just like I told you, marshal.

That driver is too superstitious

to go where a whole town's
been swallered up.

So, Silver Hill
has disappeared, has it?

You wouldn't bring me out here
on a hot 3-day ride

just for a joke, would ya?
