[laughing]

[screaming]

Alright, relax.

He's not gonna hurt you. Watch this.

Ugh.

Hiya, bud.

Two things I'm afraid of. Snakes and Indians.

You know what they say about 'em in Chicago?

Yeah, well, uh, you scared him pretty badly too.

I kinda like that.

(male narrator) A Warner Bros. television production.

[theme music]

Whoa, there!

See, I'll be right back. In a flash.

With the cash.

- Beau. - Mm-hmm.

This isn't some kind of mean trick, is it?

If you don't wanna take me to New Orleans

all you have to do is say so.

Flossie, I am going to collect one thousand dollars.

How do you know your cousin's in there?

The only high stake poker game in Green River.

Now, come on, relax.

You just think of those old paddle wheels

chunking and churning down the Mississippi to New Orleans.

Oh, I do, and Mardi Gras.

Oh, I've always wanted to drink champagne

from a slipper and dance in the streets.

And so you shall.

I'll be right back.

- Thank you. - My pleasure.

Yes, sir?

Oh, I wonder if you could tell me..

- Too bad about the dude though. - Oh, excuse me, friend.

Did you say dude?

Eh, fellow named Brad Edmunds.

Game started out seven-handed, narrowed down to those three.

Everybody at that table can read those cards except the dude.

Well, thanks.

(Bart) I raise.

(male #1) It'll cost you ten more blues, Mr. Edmunds.'

(Bart) 'Well, this is getting pretty expensive.'

We haven't even drawn cards yet.

That's they way poker's played. And you wanted to learn.

Oh, I do. Yes, I do.

Uh, let me see.

"Straight beats three of a kind, and flush beats a straight."

Uh, well, I suppose I better call.

Deal, Mr. Edmunds.

Uh, it's been a pretty long session.

Ah!

I wouldn't wanna have an advantage over you, gentlemen.

Ah! Now that's much more restful.

Ah!

'Cards?'

- One. - Fine.

Mr. Monty, cards?

Same dog bit me.

Same, uh..

Does that mean one card, sir?

- One card. - Oh, good.

(Bart) 'Uh..'

How many cards would I be permitted to draw?

Four's the limit.

Hmm.

I want to draw a whole new hand.

[chuckles] In a pot like this, go ahead.

Well, thank you.

You may think this is foolish, but..

Well, here I go.

Bet, Gates.

How much have you got in front of you?

Hmm? Well..

I have these blues and..

Some reds and these whites.

I tap you.

You tap me?

The works.

Oh!

Say, this is getting exciting.

I'm in for this.

You better be able to beat a flush.

You haven't looked at your cards, yet.

Hmm? Oh, so I haven't.

I've got aces full.

Oh, dear.

[clears throat]

Oh, just two pair.

Four deuces! Yippee!

Does that mean I win?

Four of a kind.

'Oh, this is beginners luck.'

Oh, gentlemen, thank you very much.

I hope you don't mind if I cash in.

You know, this is a good game.

- Is that mine too? - Yeah.

Thank you.

Well... it has been a pleasure. Thank you very much.

[whistling]

[dramatic music]

You wouldn't hit your ever loving cousin Beau

would you, cousin Bart?

What are you doin' here in Green River?

Passing through on my way to New Orleans.

Make yourself at home. Just thinking about you, Beau.

Really?

I was wishing I wasn't so flat broke

then I could pay you that thousand dollars I owe you.

But you can't, huh?

No, I just arrived in town this afternoon.

I haven't had a chance to get organized.

- You know how that is. - Oh, I know.

I know, Mr. Edmunds.

Oh, Mr. Edmunds.

'You told me yourself that you were through here'

'just a while back and you kinda took those boys'

'with the phony glasses. You used the name Maverick.'

So I thought it would be wise if I..

Well..

Wise, yes. Very wise.

I happened to be in the lobby when you made the killing.

Beautiful.

[both laughing]

You're sitting on it, cousin Bart.

- Eh? - The money.

Oh, yeah, the money.

I, uh, I owe you a thousand, isn't that right?

Right.

- Will hundreds do? - Fine.

Seven, eight, nine..

[chuckles]

ten.

That's ten.

The first one stuck to your fingers.

Here.

Flossie.

Five minutes.

Very nice. You really going to New Orleans, huh, Beau?

Yep, I'm catching St. Louis stage from Daggett on Monday.

- Wish you luck. - Thanks.

- I knew I could count on you. - Anytime, cousin.

[woman sobbing]

You have to take the safety off first.

Allow me.

[gun cocks]

Go ahead.

Go on, it'll fire now.

Let's not stand up here and amuse the public, huh?

Oh, please, just go away.

Now, lady, I'm in the next room.

I couldn't possibly get any sleep

with you carrying on like this.

- You're making fun of me. - Maybe.

But, ma'am, whatever it is or whoever it is

certainly not worth this.

I wasn't thinking of him.

Why don't you tell me about it?

Why? I don't even know you.

Well, it's obvious that you don't fear

you can tell your husband.

How did you know about my husband?

That's a wedding band, isn't it?

My name is Brad Edmunds. Perhaps I can help.

I'm Lana Cane.

My family warned me about Ed, but I just wouldn't listen.

We came out west to look for property, he said.

- Then he had money? - No.

I did. He took everything.

- Cash, securities... - Uh, not everything.

That is not glass, Mrs. Cane.

Oh, no! No, it's real.

He would've taken that too if I hadn't been wearing it.

And you are embarrassed to go home, hmm?

Farewell letter?

- My mother. - Tear it up.

Go ahead and tear it up, then we'll get the biggest steak

and the best bottle of wine in town.

Mr. Edmunds, I can't...

You'll be on the stage Monday, heading for home.

I can't go home. I told you that.

Your mother will understand.

I can't afford to buy a ticket.

Well, there's nothing wrong in accepting a small loan.

I just paid one back.

A loan?

Of course, a loan.

Would you take this as security?

I don't want it, but you could try to sell it.

Why, you could own the whole stagecoach.

But who'd buy in a town like this?

Oh, maybe a dozen people.

Why don't we start by talking with the jeweler? Alright?

I've never seen anything like it in Green River.

What do you think it's worth?

Oh, there's somebody that wants it.

Maybe five, six thousand dollars.

But I don't want it.

Best I could do would be maybe, twenty-five hundred.

- But that's only half. - I'll tell you what?

You wait till Monday morning.

Mr. Stein, he's our local banker.

He's got a wife that's just plain crazy over fancy jewelry.

He might pay your price.

Thanks very much, Mr. Mueller.

You're a gentlemen and a scholar.

I'm a jeweler. Mueller the Jeweler.

The very best room, you understand?

Away from the street, sitting room, private bath, naturally.

Of course, Mr. Deville.

[pleasant music]

(male #2) 'Is your luggage outside, Mr. Deville?'

Uh, no. There was some mix-up in Dodge.

'It should be in Monday morning.'

Third floor suite for Mr. Deville.

Good evening.

My key, please.

I'll just be a moment, Mr. Edmund.

- Is something wrong? - No, nothing.

- Do you know the gentlemen? - Just the type.

Keep an eye on your necklace.

- My necklace? - Yeah, it's 7 o'clock.

I predict, within one hour Mr. Deville would try to get it.

- Oh, you must be joking. - No.

See you in the dining room.

A women of obvious breeding would attract anyone's attention

in this town, Mrs. Cane.

But for her to be so beautiful..

I couldn't help introducing myself.

Thank you.

Forgive me for staring

but... I've never seen such a lovely necklace.

Oh..

Five minutes to eight.

Am I keeping you from something?

No. No.

It's my wife's anniversary next month

and that's exactly what I had in mind.

Ain't that a coincidence?

Mrs. Cane was thinking of selling it.

You can't be serious.

Oh, I had an offer, but I didn't accept it.

Could I make an offer?

Of course.

(Mr. Deville) 'Well, it's beautiful.'

Why, it's flawless.

It's probably worth a great deal more, but..

What would you say to five thousand dollars?

Well, I..

Alright, sixty-five hundred, but that's my limit.

- I'll take it. - In cash.

My personal check on the Green River Bank.

This is Saturday night.

The bank won't be open until Monday

and you just arrived in town.

I opened an account by mail.

You can cash it Monday morning.

Then, can't Mrs. Cane surrender the necklace at the same time?

Well, yes, except that I wanted to get it in the mail tonight.

There's a stage leaving for San Francisco.

- Oh, I'm sure it's alright. - 'Good.'

Then we have a deal?

If there's some question about this..

Lana, can't you wait until Monday?

That's too late, Mr. Edmunds.

After all, it is my necklace.

I accept your offer.

Excellent. And here's to a good bargain for both of us.

Just 8 o'clock.

There you are.

I think it'll fit in here, Mr. Deville.

Oh, that's fine.

Well, now, if you'll excuse me

I'd like to get this posted right away.

If Mr. Deville checks out before noon on Monday

I wanna know immediately, you understand?

But, sir, this sort of information

is almost confidential.

Except to someone of good taste.

- You will let me know. - 'Yes, sir.'

Mr. Deville already has checked out.

When?

Just before he went into the dining room.

And just after he asked if I'd seen you, Mrs. Cane.

I know it. Now, do you believe me?

- Believe what? - He's a crook and a phony.

He doesn't have sixty-five hundred dollars.

He doesn't even have sixty-five cents.

- Ah! - Pardon me.

Uh-ho! Mr. Edmunds and Mrs. Cane.

You're the people I wanna see.

- It's about your necklace. - I've already sold it.

A man just rushed in and tried selling it to me.

- But he just bought it from me. - That's the point.

He only wants a thousand dollars for it.

'Now, I couldn't believe that... '

Can you stall him? We'll be over in a minute.

Yes. I told him I was going after the cash.

Good. Thank you.

Brad, I should've listened to you.

It ain't too late. Come on.

Well, it's about time.

I'm awfully sorry to keep you waiting, sir, but..

Did you get the money?

Well, as a matter of fact, no.

Uh, that is, not yet.

But what I think..

There's your man, sheriff.

What's this all about?

This gentlemen says you stole the lady's necklace.

Why, it's absurd. I bought Mrs. Cane's necklace.

With a rubber check.

Sir, my check is good.

- Of course. - Is this the necklace?

(Mr. Deville) 'Yes, it's my property.'

You were selling it for a thousand

after buying it for 6500.

My plan's changed.

They certainly have. Sheriff, what are you waiting for?

If it's his property he can sell it, regardless of the price.

It isn't. He bought it with a bum check.

He says it's good. I can't arrest him

not according to the book.

He's a con man. You don't need the book.

Let's find the banker and settle this.

The bank's closed. President's away visiting his daughter.

He won't be back until Monday morning.

Then hold him until Monday morning.

I'll need a complaint. Are you willing to sign one, Mrs. Cane?

She'll sign. I'll sign it also.

Alright, then. Mr. Deville, you're under arrest.

Sheriff, I protest.

I'm taking the San Francisco stage tonight.

Now, this delay will cost me money.

You can protest, but I'm locking you up.

Put that necklace in the safe, Mueller.

Oh, you forget all about it.

Come on, tonight we're gonna do the town.

[screaming]

Oh, you relax.

He's not gonna hurt you. Watch this.

Ugh.

Hiya, bud.

Two things I'm afraid of. Snakes and Indians.

You know what they say about 'em in Chicago?

Yeah, well, uh, you scared him pretty badly too.

I kinda liked it.

- Mr. Stein. - Yes.

It's a lovely Monday morning, isn't it, sir?

Depends if you're puttin' or takin'.

If you're lookin' for a loan, might not be so good.

- It's just a formality. - You don't say and what's that?

Uh, this is Mrs. Lana Cane. My name is Brad Edmund.

Mrs. Cane has a check that was made out

by a gentleman that the sheriff is holding in jail.

Oh! If the check is good, it's no reason I can't cash it.

Well, it isn't. We just want you to refuse to cash it, sir.

Lawrence Deville. Hmm, name sounds familiar.

You see?

This isn't the first time Deville has played this game.

Yes, I seem to recall. Good morning, sheriff.

Oh, good morning.

You're collecting the principle evidence, Mr. Edmunds?

- It's coming right up, sheriff. - Yep, here's the letter.

Came last week with a deposit.

- What? - Mr. Deville's deposit.

A certified check for $6500.

Brad, we've made a terrible mistake.

A costly mistake, Mrs. Cane.

Uh, Mr. Deville, I, uh..

That is, we, well, we most certainly owe you an apology...

Sir, you have defamed my character.

Caused me to be thrown in a common jail

and held there unlawfully.

Now, hold on. It was lawful. They signed a complaint.

Well, then, I hold him liable for false arrest.

- And I intend to prosecute. - Just a minute.

I warned you, Mr. Edmunds

What are you waiting for, sheriff? Arrest them.

You may have a civil suit, but there's been no crime committed.

I can't arrest them, not according to the book.

- You're right, sheriff. - 'Sheriff, he'll skip town.'

How can I sue him if he's isn't here?

Well, now, there maybe something else. Let's see.

Now, use your head, sheriff.

He's a crook. He set up this swindle, I fell for it.

- Me, Bart Maverick. - Maverick?

You said you're name was Edmunds.

Brad, I don't understand.

(Mr. Deville) 'Ho-ho, I do.'

He's the crook.

Probably intended to steal Mrs. Cane's necklace himself.

Well, he admitted using an alias.

Alias, alias! Wait a minute.

A, A..

"Abduction.

"Assault, alias.

"Usurp by suspicious characters.

'"Statute 1445-A.'

"It shall be unlawful for any person of questionable character

"to employ, use, or identify himself to an officer of the law

"by a name other than a true and lawful one."

Mr. Maverick, you're under arrest.

- Sheriff, I am... - No good arguing, Mr. Maverick.

Just cool your heels a bit

till the judge gets court convened.

- Got company for you, Daniels. - Hello, there.

Get him out of here. Out, out.

Now, don't you be giving this prisoner here any trouble.

Unless you want your hanging shoved up a couple of days.

Hanging?

Mr. Maverick, this is Red Daniels.

You two try to get along.

What did you do? Not much, I'll bet.

You're right. I-I was framed.

Ha ha ha.

Like to have a dollar every time I've used that one.

Go ahead. Tell me about it.

- It's a long story. - I got plenty a time.

Till Thursday 6 o'clock in the mornin'.

That stupid son of mine doesn't show up.

- I assume you killed a man. - 'Three of 'em.'

Two of 'em I was aiming at..

Third was just passin' as I left the bank.

You've got a visitor, Mr. Maverick.

Five minutes, Mrs. Cane.

And, Daniels, you watch your language.

- Oh, Bart, this is terrible. - It's good to see you, Lana.

Well, I would've come sooner, but Deville came to see me.

How much did he want?

You know that he's willing to accept money instead of suing?

That's the swindle. How much?

- Ten thousand dollars. - Ten thou..

He knows I don't have that kind of money.

But it's 10,000 for both of us. And I've got 6500.

But he has your necklace.

I feel like this whole thing is my fault.

I don't even care about the money.

You don't care about $6500, lady?

You must be sick.

Please, Mr. Daniels. Now, let's see..

I've got 2500 in the safe at the hotel.

Your 6500 and 2500, that makes nine.

- He said ten, firm. - Oh.

One short. If I only didn't give that money to Beau I..

- You got a pencil and paper? - I think so.

Mm-hmm.

Send a wire to Mr. Beau Maverick.

Care of, uh..

Eastern stage line, Daggett.

Please wire $1000 in favor of Mrs. Lana Cane

care of sheriff, Green River.

Will return the money in 24 hours.

Desperate, signed as Bart Maverick.

Let me have this.

Now, this will allow you to get my 2500 out of the hotel safe.

'But before you give the money to Deville'

'make sure he signs a statement, no suit.'

(Lana) 'I understand.'

Now, don't worry. We'll get out money back.

- Both of us. - I'm ready, sheriff.

- Goodbye, Bart. - Bye.

You mean, you and that lady are paying $10,000

just to get out of this poke?

And to avoid a legal suit.

Get the man shot for a $100.

No, I, uh, I just want to get our money back.

Psst. Psst, pa.

- Watch out front. - Huh?

- Hi, pa. How are you? - How am I?

Where have you been?

Down at the Mill River with Ben.

We just found out they caught you.

Pa, they're gonna hang you for real?

Of course, they'll hang me, stupid. If they get the chance.

I'm sure sorry to hear that, pa. If there's anything I can do..

You get me some grub, money, a gun, and a horse.

- Lots of money, you understand? - 'Sure, pa.'

And a good sharp file. Now, get!

- I'll be back right after dark. - You better be.

The dumbest boy I ever seen.

- Can't learn him a thing. - Maybe he's a little young.

Ah, that's no excuse.

Took him and his brother, Ben, out on a simple little job.

Like they got us all shot.

Well, I guess, you'll be leaving here tonight, huh?

Yeah. Going to Mexico.

Too many ropes are stretchin' around here.

Hey, you wouldn't be thinkin' about

talkin' to the sheriff, would you?

Me! Oh, no. No, sir. I want to get out of here too.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

Well, we'll think about it.

[intense music]

[whistling]

That's him. See if he brought the file.

- Uh.. - Who, who're you?

I'm a friend of your father's. Have you got the file?

- Sure. - Thanks.

Oh, and tell him, tell him that there's grub

and a horse and rifle waiting for him

at Miller's Livery Stable.

A-and I'm still tryin' to raise the money.

Thanks.

He's got everything except the money.

Miller's Livery Stable.

You want out? Start filin'.

Thank you.

[grunting]

Uh, you sure you don't wanna try this a while?

I'm sure.

- There you are. - Yeah. That's a nice job.

Thanks.

A-are we ready to go now?

You're a gambler, ain't you, Maverick?

What's that old sayin' about..

"Never give a sucker an even break."

Ha ha. I've heard that before.

- Better get your coat. - Yeah.

So long, sucker. Ha ha ha.

Here, try this coffee.

It's been known to revive the dead

and you're lucky you aren't.

Thanks, sheriff. What happened?

Well, Red busted jail and clobbered you going.

Oh, I remember.

And you can go anytime you like.

I can?

Mrs. Cane came in with a statement

from Mr. Deville saying he wasn't gonna prosecute.

So you aren't a questionable character any longer.

According to the book

I don't have to hold you for using an alias.

Mrs. Cane must have received the telegram.

Oh, I forgot about that.

She said she'd be waiting for you at the hotel.

That's real nice.

Oh, I'm glad to be of service anytime.

Thank you, sheriff.

[knock on the door]

Come in.

Bart, it's you. I'm so glad to see you.

Me too.

I heard about the jailbreak. Are you alright?

Just have to get the glass replaced in my jaw.

The important thing is to get your money back.

Don't worry. I wired my mother, she sent me money for a ticket.

He's not getting away with it. He must be here, I'll find him.

What good would it do? What could you do?

I don't know, but besides the money

it is a matter of personal pride.

His check was good. Are you sure he's a crook?

Positive. It was just a big city swindle, not even a new twist.

And I fell for it.

[knock on the door]

- Who is it? - 'Got your bath drawn, dearie.'

(female #1) 'Better hurry before someone else takes it.'

I'll be right there.

Bart, I'm awfully tired tonight, and I have a long trip tomorrow.

I think I'll go to bed early tonight.

Oh, it's a disappointment.

I thought that maybe we, uh..

Alright, I understand.

You are the most wonderful man I've ever met.

You saved my life.

I'll see you in the morning.

[intense music]

[indistinct chattering]

Well, if it ain't the Maverick boy.

Hello, Andy.

- Luke. - Howdy, Mr. Maverick.

The look you got there

either just sired a cold or lost a fight.

You're right. But I'm no father.

Don't tell me that these local pasteboard pushers took it.

I'm taken, alright, but not by them.

Well, then forget it.

I'm drivin' the stage back to Dodge City in the mornin'.

I don't think there's anythin' wrong with me

taking an old friend like you for once on the cuff.

Thanks, Andy, but I got some things I gotta do first.

Did you say the morning stage to Dodge City?

That's right.

- That's the one she'll be on. - 'Who?'

- The girl. - What girl?

Uh, never mind. Charlie, buy the boys a drink.

Yes, sir.

Ain't it somethin' to watch one of these Maverick boys

when he's schemin'?

You can just hear the wheels a grindin'.

It might work. That one might work.

I'm gonna need somebody to..

Get your hands off that money. You just lost the pot, sonny.

There were six-card hand. I was using five.

Are you saying I cheated?

Maybe you'd like to count the discard.

Maybe, you'd like to die young.

Everybody knows you're a troublemaker, Daniels.

And you're making trouble now. So beat it.

Oh, boy. It's Red Daniels' boy, yeah.

Well, at least I want my money back.

You've got something coming. Give it to him, Gates.

[dramatic music]

Andy..

Watch my hat.

[music continues]

Thanks, Andy.

[panting]

Well, thanks, mister.

You sure don't look like a fighter.

Maybe we'd better get out of here before they find that out.

- I was just goin' to help... - Thanks, Andy.

Say, don't I know you?

Uh, yeah, we met through a window.

- Window with bars on it. - Oh, sure. Jail.

- M-m-my pa said... - Yeah, he did.

But I don't hold it against him.

- You don't? - No.

Hey, where's your pa now?

He's over at the livery stable.

I'm still trying to raise him some money

that's why I was playing poker.

Uh, would a thousand dollars get your pa to Mexico?

Thousand dollars would get him through Mexico and to Texas.

Alright, you got it.

- W-who do I have to kill? - No, nobody.

We're gonna need a little help.

Say, a couple of fellas about your age.

Well, there's my brother, Ben, and my buddy, Mutt Craven.

Can you locate them all tonight?

Sure, there's only ten saloons in all of Green River.

Try not to talk, but if you do get stuck

just remember the word "ugh".

And you can say it ugh, or u-ugh.

Ugh. You got that?

- Ugh. - Ugh.

Alright, that's great.

Now, each knows what he's got to get.

- Ugh. - Ugh.

Ugh.

[dramatic music]

[whistling]

[whistling]

Okay, steady, turkey.

Oh, what is a few feathers?

[whistling]

[glass shattering]

Ma'am.

I don't need your help. Thank you.

Ooh, cold.

Okay, honey, Ed Spencer is the best little, old iceberg melter

you ever thawed. Get it? Thaw.

- May I help, Mrs. Cane? - Bart.

I thought you weren't even going to come down and see me off.

I'm gonna do better than that.

I'm gonna make the trip with you.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Why are you smiling?

I was thinking about how rough it's gonna be on both of us

pretending all the way to Chicago.

Pretending?

Where are you gonna meet Deville?

Brat, I just don't know what you're talking about.

Come on, now, Lana. It was a beautiful job.

I have no hard feelings.

You know?

Uh, yeah.

I know.

I told Ed that you had the necklace.

It was an accident. I found it when I went back for my hat.

- And you're really not angry? - Oh, why should I be?

I have the necklace, you have my money.

We're just about even.

Oh, Bart, you're a real sport. You know that?

So are you, Lana. Where is Deville?

He's taking the next stage, and he's gonna meet me in Dodge.

Hmm.

You, you are married, of course.

Five years.

Well, Ed's really, you know, a nice guy.

I mean when you get to know him.

He's strictly city, of course. Like me.

Oh, I know.

I can't stand these cheap hotels

and dirty saloons and real gun slingers... And Indians.

Indians? Don't even joke about Indians.

It looks like this trip's gonna be a jim-dandy.

- Everybody's paired off. - Ah!

Indians!

Hail!

- Don't be a fool. - Yeah, but, but..

Indians?

Looks like a holdup. We better do everything they say.

Ugh.

Gun.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Ugh.

I think he wants our money and jewelry.

Hmm.

I was going East looking for money.

Um..

[speaking in foreign language]

[speaking in foreign language]

Hmm.

I told him we were broke.

Hmm, go.

He's gonna let us go.

I'm afraid this is just the beginning.

Go!

- Didn't he.. - No, no.

You must have been drinkin'.

There ain't been any Indians on this road for 20 years.

The stragglers.

They're more dangerous than the Cherokees.

They're not Cherokees.

They ain't anything.

A blonde Indian?

It's a cabin.

Those tomahawks bother me.

Out.

You stay.

'Inside.'

We talk.

Your money.

Uh, chief, I told you outside.

[speaking in foreign language]

Your squaw?

No, my husband's in Green River.

Hmm, if your man pay money, save your life.

Four people, $4000. You write.

I won't do it.

Ugh.

No, no. What are you gonna do?

[gunshot]

Now, you write?

No.

Honey, if your husband's got $4000 get it.

'It may mean a little extra work'

'but I'll pay back my share.'

Oh, they're only bluffing. They wouldn't hurt a woman.

- Oh, uh, Indians don't bluff. - Ugh.

No, no! Get your hands off me.

[gunshot]

Too late save first lady.

Where is my wife?

Make sure you have the money and I'll take you.

I've got the money.

Alright, just turn around and ride down the street

like nothing's happened.

And that's all I can tell you about your cousin, Mr. Maverick.

Oh, there is that Mr. Deville I was mentioning.

I wonder what he's doing with Mutt Craven.

You're sure cousin Bart took the morning stage?

Oh, sure, I'm sure. Mrs. Cane was on it too.

I see. Well, thanks, sheriff.

Take him inside.

Ed.

Oh, Ed. Oh.

- Are you alright? - Yes.

- What's he doing here? - I was on the coach too.

Oh, that part of it is alright. He knows all about us.

- You bring money? - You'll let my wife go?

- Mmm. - He'll let all of us go.

- I don't care about him. - Well, price still same, $4000.

Four thousand dollars.

Go. Well, not you.

You stay, make sure Green River sheriff stay at home.

- Go. - Come on.

I'm sorry, Bart.

I didn't mean for it to end like this.

It's alright, Lana. Forget it.

Esther! Dottie!

Well, how'd I do, Mr. Maverick?

Absolutely brilliant, Jimmy.

Now you should've been an actor, except for that arrow.

Well, with Mutty, he's always shootin' somethin' wrong.

Alright, an even 1000 as per our agreement.

Uh, what about the necklace, Mr. Maverick?

Uh, that wasn't part of the deal, Jimmy.

That's right. I gotta hand it to you, mister.

You're even smarter than my own pa.

- No, he ain't. - 'Pa, what are you doin' here?'

I was just a checkin' on you. See if you've learned anything.

- But you haven't. - Uh, nice to see you again.

Why?

Well, you left so soon, from jail, I mean.

I didn't have a chance to make my offer.

- What offer? - Get you to Mexico.

I was gonna give you some money.

Well, now, ain't that nice?

So I looked up Jimmy and made arrangements to get it.

Yeah, he told me down at the livery stable.

- He's a smart boy. - He's a fool and a nincompoop.

- Oh, pa, I made a $1000. - You made 4000, stupid.

Gimme the rest of that money.

Now the necklace.

Mr. Daniels, don't you think..

You do, huh?

Pa, it, it don't seem quite fair.

- He did set up the whole deal. - Well, who needs him now?

Well, in that case, gentlemen, I best be on my way.

Where do you think you're goin'?

You have the necklace and the money

and you said you don't need me.

Hold it. What do you think, son?

Well, it don't seem fair, pa.

I guess if you're gonna double cross somebody

you just can't let him go.

Now you're showin' some sense.

Alright, you, outside.

[dramatic music]

- You're gonna kill him, pa? - Of course I'm gonna kill him.

- See if you can find a shovel. - Yes, sir.

If you're a prayin' man, you got about ten seconds.

I couldn't even get warmed up in less than five minutes.

Alright, then you can go cold.

- 'Hold it!' - Beau.

Everybody stand still, except you, cousin.

'Get his gun.'

I'll take this first, Red.

That ain't fair.

Beau, to your right!

[gunshots]

[dramatic music]

(Red) 'Ben, get the rifle. No, stupid, in the cabin.'

Pa!

- What you gonna do to me? - You know the old saying.

"Never give a sucker an even break."

- No, no... - 'You alright, Mr. Maverick?'

(sheriff) 'I mean, both of you, Mr. Mavericks?'

- We're fine. - We're fine, sheriff.

I figured you was back at this, Daniels.

I know your boy didn't have brains enough for it.

- Look here, sheriff... - Now, save it for the court.

I only got one thing to say to them.

This will be a lesson to me.

We came looking for the stage

when it didn't show up at Mill Spring.

Then we met Andy at the turnoff

and the passengers told us about what happened.

Yeah.

I suppose you'll be wanting Mrs. Cane's necklace and money.

Well, she wanted her necklace

but about the money she had a message for you.

Message for me?

When she found them other two passengers was alive and kickin'

she said she understood and she wanted you to keep the money.

She said you earned it. There was no hard feelings.

Besides, she doubted if there's anyway she could get it back.

- Well, I'll see you, boys. - Sheriff.

Well, cousin Beau, bless you.

You figured there was trouble, didn't you?

You knew when I asked for that money back, I also needed help.

Now, Beau, you came running to help your cousin

to save his life, didn't you?

Oh?

Seven, eight, nine..

Ten.

Uh-uh! That makes ten.

The first two stuck to your fingers.

Ah.
