Original subtitles

- Why'd you have to come back? - 'Gambler's hand?'

You forgot I saw yours once before and they didn't.

How'd Zindler know that your hands wouldn't be all cut up

and scarred like that handyman that worked here?

Well, you haven't won yet, McGaven.

'Cause I'm gonna ride into town with Mavis.

I'm gonna go along with her story.

You ain't gonna live that long.

You're dead, remember? They can't do nothing to me

for killing someone who's dead.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Ho-o-o-ho!

Hiya, sheriff.

Roscoe.

- You're late. - How about that, Zindler?

Let's get the mail on board, what do you say?

You've been a real good sport about it, Maverick.

'I never saw a better poker player'

or a better loser.

You know, that's what this town needs

a man who likes draught and inside straight.

'Well, that's the sad game of chance, gentlemen.'

As my pappy always said

"Patience is the best remedy for every trouble

but, uh, money is better."

Roscoe, give this gentleman a nice safe ride, uh?

Hop in, mister. We'll be pulling out in a minute or two.

This is a token of our esteem.

Since we also won your horse and the saddle.

Holly! Holly!

One of them got the money and went through the alley.

I'll circle 'em.

There he is.

What happened to the money sack?

Yeah. Where's the sheriff?

Joe! Joe! We got him!

Holly!

- Well, I killed all of them. - Did you get the money?

Oh, there, must've been a fourth man.

'Probably passed it to him.'

'Let's get a posse going.'

McGaven, Walt, Sims.

'What fourth man?'

There was only three of them and he had it last.

Maybe you think he dropped it somewhere, Mr. Zindler?

Yeah, maybe he did.

And maybe you were any kind of a sheriff

this would never have happened.

You heard him, boys.

Start searching near Grogan's feed store

then the back of Wilson's barn.

Yeah, and search them alleys real good, huh.

Forty dollars a month buys a lot of patience, doesn't it?

Something like that.

Get these dead bodies off the street. Find out who they are.

I've had about all this town I can take for one night.

Somebody throw that male sack on board.

You alright, mister?

The only thing that can help me is a little hard cash.

How much did they get away with, sheriff?

How would I know?

If you'd be kind to let me get this posse started.

I don't think the money ever left this town.

Listen to him, Mr. Holly. He's right.

The man in the alley dropped a canvas sack

near Grogans feed store.

'I was looking through the window.'

What else?

I don't know. My boy got scared.

I forced him into bed. I didn't see what happened.

I'm ordering you to close this town off.

'I'm searching every man in this town till I find that money.'

$7000 of it.

I'm even gonna search you, sheriff.

Maybe you'd like to search me first.

I'm just telling ya, there was no fourth man.

Somebody in Amber Flats' got that money.

Now, open up your coats.

Yeah, you too, mister.

At your pleasure, sir.

As long as it's your show, why don't you make it real good?

- McGaven, search the stage too. - Right.

I'll get the mail for you, Roscoe.

If you happen to find anything, I wish you'd let me know.

I need it.

Hey, Zindler.

It's clean as a hound's tooth. I still say Holly ain't worth

a pot of beans and this little deal ought to prove it.

Still got that itch to be sheriff, huh, McGaven?

Yeah, I'd do better than Holly.

Well, I want my money first.

You're next.

Hey.

There he is.

Roscoe.

Sure took your time.

Maybe you don't remember the place was kind of littered.

Open up your coat.

Not that I objected to being searched like anybody else.

I just wanted it understood that nobody can tell me

what I had to do.

See any money, McGaven? Well, go on, look!

Search him too.

Alright.

Walt, Sims, McGaven, I'm making you my deputies.

Walt, McGaven, you take the Dutch Creek.

Sims, you cover the road to Pleasantville.

I'll take Sawtooth and meet up with you at Bob's Ferry

by dawn tomorrow.

Alright, mister, let's get out of here.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope this hasn't tired for your trip.

Mr. Holly, at this moment I'm so tired I'm breathing from memory.

Don't let him steal your mail, Roscoe. Take it away!

Well, now, I thought you'd be home sleeping.

Say, what the..

Ho-ho! Hiya, Bert. I'm awful late.

I'll be pullin' out as soon as I give

these old ponies a breather. Take what you got comin'.

Hey, pilgrim, wake up.

This is where I leave you.

Aren't you just a little premature?

Maybe I am, but this is as far as they paid for your ride.

Hop down.

Why, those no-good, cheap, tinhorn gamblers.

Seems like a smart-looking feller like you would know

when a practical joke's bein' pulled on him.

I've got a pin-seal wallet and a $40 hat.

Nope.

They took me for $900 I'm only asking for a five dollar ride.

If you don't pay up, the company stakes me for it.

All set, three packages and nine letters.

Here you are, Roscoe.

Listen, fellas, I've got to get out of here...

Don't we all?

I ain't had no company around here expect for Roscoe

quiet a spell, you won't mind it.

'Ahh!'

Hey, wait a minute.

- Hey, Roscoe. - Hey!

I'll even give you my gun.

Ha ha ha.

Friendly cuss, ain't he?

Heh heh ha.

G. Holly.

Well, what do you know?

- Did you say something? - Hmm?

Just read a friend's name here, can I do something for you?

Will this be worth a plate of beans and some coffee?

Oh, I don't want your hat, help yourself.

Much obliged.

'Now, let's see what's this says for me.'

Denver.

Who do I know in Denver? Hmm.

Hmm, we'll find out.

You'd have been better off if you'd taken up undertaking.

I did. Gave it up when a fella once sat up in his coffin.

Say, do you play Cribbage?

Ah, not today.

I'm very unlucky at cards.

Hm. Hmm.

Somebody must come pick up that mail. Maybe I can catch a ride.

Well, maybe, but they don't come very often.

There's only six of them.

And they are scattered in all directions.

Somebody riding up now.

Holly.

Help.

Did you know him?

Yeah.

I just spoke to him last night.

- Where? - Amber flats.

Well, that's funny. I just got a package for him inside.

I ain't seen him in months.

He sent me to the pen five years ago.

You know, mister, he done me a good turn?

He taught me to give up crime

and end my days in respectability.

He sure let whoever shot him get close.

Look at the powder burns on that coat.

What do you think he was trying to say?

Who knows? A lot of men hated you, didn't they, Joe?

You put too many of them away.

I guess one of them finally making good as brag

to put Joe where he belongs.

Maybe not. The last time I saw him, he was looking for a man

that just stole $7000

from the American mail company in Amber flats.

My, oh, my.

Hmm.

Looks like my guess was wrong.

Well, as I always say, one bullet is as good as another.

You mind gettin' a shovel while I pay my last respects?

Sure.

If it's all the same to you, I'm taking Holly's horse

for services rendered.

Hmm? Oh, yeah. You know, I just noticed something.

This here package for Holly is post marked Amber flats.

That oughta be a rare treasure for a stamp collector.

Good day to you, Mr. Coleman.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

I don't know what you're thinking.

The robbery you told me about. Zindler locking up the town

because he thought the money was still in it.

And Holly putting the mail on board the stage.

Wondering why I brought this up? I could've let you ride on out.

Oh, you could have.

But then you remembered you told me about this.

What are we talking about, mister?

Seems kind of strange that a man would send Holly

a package 40 miles away, when he could've handed it

to him right there in Amber flats.

That's what we're talking about.

If it eases your mind any, I didn't know

about that post mark until you brought it up.

You think fast, don't you?

Well, I like to land on my feet

with a coin stuck between my toes.

American Mail Company.

You know that Holly had me believing there was fourth man.

All them years, Holly sending crooks to jail.

And then coming here for his last big haul

and getting bushwhacked on an old scholar.

It's all ours if we want it.

Why, Mr. Coleman, I thought you turned over

a new leaf of respectability.

Just wanted to make sure we was on the same track.

I can ride into town, collect that reward and we can split it.

- I don't trust you that much. - What about your job here?

Well, I'll just close the place up.

Let them fire me.

We're turning this ought to be worth at least a $1000 reward.

I couldn't earn my share in five years working here.

We got to ride boy.

We got to ride for ourselves, we're gonna be rich men.

Boy, we're gonna be rich men.

There she is, Maverick.

'Fat and juicy.'

'Is that you, Holly?'

Well, if it ain't our poker player, Brent Maverick.

And old Bert Coleman.

I ain't seen you in quite a spell.

You're looking for Holly?

How do you know? You rode out of town last night.

Hey, that's Holly's horse. I know the rig.

Holly's dead, somebody shot him.

We're bringing back the money he stole.

Oh, that's a real pretty story.

Come on, get off.

No, don't lose your heads, we're telling the truth.

You old Jonah.

Ain't seen you since you took Wells Fargo at Dodge City.

Sims, take a look at that saddle bag.

Hey, it's the cash, sure enough.

Now, hold on a minute, gentlemen, you don't understand.

Sure.

Up to your old tricks, huh, Bert?

'You inside, him outside.'

Appears Holly was right, boys. There was four of them.

No, he was wrong.

He, sent the money he stole to himself at the Midway station.

Sure, I'll bet he did.

I ain't robbed a nickel in five years.

Sure, the honest break man

never stole a box car in his life.

Tie 'em up, boys.

Yeah.

Coleman.

Get to the horses.

Coleman, Coleman.

'Maverick.'

Coleman?

Maverick.

Help me, Maverick.

Coleman.

Maverick.

Maverick, ah.

The money, I... buried it.

Coleman.

'Get up.'

I got Coleman, huh?

Yeah, he's dead.

Well, where's the loot?

I wouldn't know.

Them other two will be along any minute.

We could still make a deal.

Whatever you got hid, we split.

- That's quite a deal. - You're no crook like him.

Not with fancy hands like that.

I'll get a doctor for you. I'll help you get away.

I'm a gambler, McGaven.

I'll bet on a calculated risk

but I'd never bet on the likes of you.

Ah, you just might be sorry.

'That's Holly's horse, I know that blaze face.'

Over here.

Walt, see if there's money on that horse over there.

Nothing on this horse.

Nothing.

Ah, Coleman's dead.

- Where's that money? - I don't know.

You better start remembering.

Let's get him back into town.

Go on, get on your horse.

Hey, that money ain't gonna do you no good

when you're swinging at the end of a rope.

Hey, Walt, give me a hand.

Hey, McGaven's back. He's packin' a body.

What about Joe Holly?

Well, now, ain't you pretty?

I thought you wasn't working at the saloon no more

now that Holly told you to quit.

Keep your hands off me.

Now, look..

I didn't kill that sheriff, neither did he.

Holly stole that money and he sent it to himself

at the Midway station.

You're a liar.

Hey, Mavis, you'll get your chance.

She's, uh..

She's kind of touchy about that kind of talk, mister.

'You see, uh, she and Holly was fixing to getting married.'

Where is it?

'Look I never stole it.'

We were bringing it back.

Where's my money?

Leave him alone.

Look, it's my money.

Yeah, well, he's my prisoner.

- Walt. - Yeah.

- Take him in and lock him up. - Alright, come on.

Now, uh..

So long as Holly made me acting deputy sheriff, Zindler

we're gonna do things my way.

Now, I'll get him to talk.

If I can't make him talk..

I'll give him to you.

It will be a pleasure.

Alright, the rest of you clear out of here.

You two, take care of him.

Now, uh..

Honey, what's wrong with me now

that there ain't no more competition?

Nothin', I guess. You're just the kind of doormat

a woman would love to wipe her feet on.

Oh, honey, I bet you'd change your tune

if I come up with some hard cash, huh?

Here, Walt, put this on. Go on, get out of here.

Just when are you thinking on splitting the reward?

When he's in..

You still broke?

Tell old Rosy up the street to give you credit.

I'm still waiting.

You do business with me, you get away.

If I turn you over to Zindler, hanging will be a pleasure

compared to what he'll do to you?

Hey, McGaven, fire in Wilson's barn, they want you.

- Great time for a fire. - I thought so.

Get in the back of the buckboard.

There's one thing I want to get straight.

- I never stole that money. - I know you didn't.

You're not tryin' to sandbag me.

I'm not playing poker, mister, I'm playing for keeps.

I know Joe Holly stole that money.

Now, you get under that canvas, I can't afford to lose you.

- Well, look what we got here. - Get inside, Emily.

You're asking me, sister, or telling me?

Oh, I'd say she's asking.

- You ask me, mister. - Maverick.

Maverick. Now, ain't that a pretty name?

Oh, you got to sit down, mister.

Oh, much obliged.

Say, where are you from?

- You name it, I've been there. - Emily, you better go to bed.

I don't want to. Just 'cause I'm younger than you

you can tell me what to do? Well, you can't.

- I could use a cup of coffee. - Sure, love.

Say, what's the matter? Did Mavis shoot you or something?

Let's get this coat off. So I can take care of that.

Take care of what? This is my house too, you know.

Anyway.

What's Joe gonna say when he finds

that you're taking off with a strange fella?

Joe's dead.

Joe Dead?

It was Joe that stole that money last night.

And they think I killed him to get it.

- Did you? - No, I didn't.

You're sister brought me out of jail, she thinks I'm innocent.

She also believes I know where that money is.

Now would you like me to fill in the rest of the details?

I reckon I can figure it out in time.

Emily, get me some bandages.

Ooh, mister, you know you're lucky.

It's only a flesh wound.

Well then, why don't you just tell me where that money is?

And I'll turn it over to Mr. Zindler.

You too... - You got another offer? - McGaven.

You do business with him and you'll end up horizontal.

Oh, and If I do business with her?

I'll save your neck.

I'll tell him I know that Joe stole that money

told me exactly how he did it, I can make him believe me.

- Awful little old him, huh? - Will you shut your mouth?

What's the matter, sister, dear? Do I bother you?

How do you figure I have that money unless I killed Holly?

Well, let's just say

I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

'Now, where is it?'

I better get some sleep first.

- First the money. - Well, the other man buried it.

Look somewhere we can find it.

'I've to do a lot of figuring.'

I'll go fix this for you, Mr. Maverick.

And don't go getting any idea's about Emily now, you hear me?

I'm just beginning to get ideas about you.

What you better be doing

is trying to figure out where your partner hid that money.

This is my pa's coat.

I thought I'd let you wear it until I fix yours.

Just to show you my heart's in the right place.

I'm sure, it is.

- Hide him. - Come, come here.

'Not there.'

The trap door.

It's an old escape tunnel for Indian raids.

Now, its steep, you hold on to that ladder, do you hear?

Mavis!

Wait a minute, the hat.

Watch out.

What the devil happened back in town?

'Frank saw you going in the back door of that jail.'

'Did you let that joker out of his cell?'

You ain't answered that question.

Uh, I-I went in wanting to kill him, but he..

He pulled a derringer on me and made me open the cell

and, and drive him away on my buckboard.

- Where is he now? - I don't know.

He tried to steal a horse, and I beat him off with my whip.

I got away in the dark.

Probably come back here to steal an animal.

Search the place.

Yeah, kind of.

I can't convince your sister I'm real catch

maybe I can convince you, huh?

'Leave her alone.'

Where did he get away from you?

But, I, I can show you. I'll know it when I see it.

Nothin' outside.

Maybe I better stay here.

You go after women in your own time.

Is there a reward, Mr. Zindler?

Thousand dollars.

Dead or alive.

What you're looking at me like that for, sister?

I'm worth a $1000, huh?

If you're thinking of getting away from here

without any help, forget it.

They're all over the place out there.

Yeah.

You know, all I'm trying do is tell you, don't trust Mavis.

Only reason she's protecting you is because she wants that money.

Hmm, so does everybody else.

- Even you. - Of course I want it.

I've never had more than a dollar in my whole life.

Only I wouldn't go to a man into stealing it for me.

Joe Holly?

Mm-hmm.

He was decent.

And he loved Mavis.

And he just got all caught up in her sweet talk.

Guess, it's kind of gotten into you too, huh?

- Not exactly. - Yes, it has.

I don't like my sister, mister.

I never have.

I hate this place.

Look, if you know where that money is hid.

I'll help you find it. And we'll even return it.

I don't have that money, Emily.

And I don't know where it is.

Look, mister, take me away from here.

- You're a child. - I'm not a child.

I'm a woman.

I don't want to end up rotting here like my mom.

I'll be a dance hall girl like Mavis

with men pawing all over me.

I want to..

I want to be somebody, Mr. Maverick.

Well, then how did you get involved in all of this?

If you didn't take the money from him?

Well, we were bringing it back.

McGaven and his men stopped us.

Well, and then what happened?

Well, after Coleman and I escaped..

He had the money.

By the time I found him he was dead.

He had already buried it.

'He was all dirty.'

'All muddy.'

Look, honey..

I'm awful sleepy, how about..

'Let's talk about it in the morning.'

'What do you say?'

Emily?

Where's Emily?

How would I know?

You better start thinking out where that cash is.

They know you're around here somewhere.

You ain't got a chance of getting out of here.

Now, let's start from the very beginning.

Where did McGaven stop you?

On the road from Midway station.

That would most likely be Pine Meadows.

After you got away, how long before you found your partner?

Hmm, maybe 20 minutes.

20 minutes, that don't give a man much time

to dig very deep, not on hard ground.

Wait a minute.

You had any rain around here, lately?

No, nothing, I'd say four months.

Dry as a bone.

Expect for bear pond.

How close is that to Pine Meadows?

It's part of it.

You're right, a man couldn't have hidden it very deep

but he could have hidden it in mud.

Coleman had mud all over his hands and his boots.

That's it, Mavis. That's where the money is.

You take her to it, and you'll never see that money again.

Stay out of this. Joe didn't mean to take that money

and that's why I'm putting it back.

And get this fella off by telling the truth?

I don't believe you.

You wouldn't the truth if it was staring you on the face.

Ha! Now look who's calling the kettle black.

Who talked Joe into stealing that money in the first place?

Just to buy you pretty things.

You're no good, Mavis.

'You never were any good.'

I'm in enough trouble already without all this.

I can get you out. I know the woods better than any old posse.

'I know all of the secret hiding places.'

You better trust me, mister.

Right, now, I wouldn't trust my grandmother.

He's out there, Mavis.

- Who? - The handyman.

This is his day to work here.

Now, you're gonna let me help you, mister?

- Make your choice. - Against two queens?

Well, I think I'll just stick with the money.

Alright. You go with her.

'Stay behind me, I'll get you into the wagon.'

Mister, here.

'Just to make sure you get back.'

I'll take care of him. Well, now get going. Take the back road.

Whoa.

Mr. Maverick.

- Are we there? - No, I need some help.

Thanks.

Mr. Maverick.

I'm, uh, I'm playing straight with you.

'I sure hope you're playing straight with me.'

Anyway, I guess, I ain't got no other choice

but to trust you, have I?

Joe Holly.

Joe Holly stole that money alright

'but what you don't know is he was gonna give it back.'

Give it back, the money?

That's why I'm doing all this. For him.

Honey, I quit believing in Mother Goose

when I kicked the slats out of my cradle.

But I'm not lying to you.

I've been, uh..

I've been having pretty hard time since my pa died.

'Joe didn't want me working in that place.'

He wanted to take care of me, he thought of..

If he took that money that..

Mr. Maverick, Joe was a decent man.

He was so shamed of what he'd done.

Afterwards, when he came out to the farm to see me

he wasn't even wearing his badge.

'He knew that we'd never find any happiness on'

something stolen.

When he left, uh..

I rode to the edge of the woods with him.

Before he rode on to Midway station I..

I made him put his badge back on.

Because he was still a lawman.

Honey, I sure hope you're this convincing

when we ride into Amber flats with that money.

Whoa, now.

Look.

The posse?

No, I don't think so, there'd be more tracks.

But not if there had been just one girl around here.

- You mean Emily? - She wasn't home all night.

She knows these woods like the back of her hand.

Whoa.

I just shot him!

I just shot the handyman, Mr. Maverick. I didn't mean to.

Oh, you shot his shoulder and half his face away.

Well, he found, he found Mr. Maverick's coat.

And he saw the blood, and the bullet hole.

He knew that the posse had been here looking for him.

And that we'd said, you never were here. He knew we'd lied.

He was trying to choke me into telling him where you'd gone.

'He was going to kill me.'

Oh, terrible.

Well, what's the matter? Don't you believe me?

I don't know.

Did you find the money, Mr. Maverick?

Somebody beat us to it.

Emily, what you know about all this?

I don't know anything about this.

You better get out of here now. Mavis won't help you.

But what about him?

Well, we'll burry him.

No.

We won't burry him, we'll use him.

We'll put your coat on him.

Well, he hasn't got a face anymore.

'And his shoulder's shot away like yours.'

It will fool the posse.

Look, it's the best chance you've got.

I'll tell them that, that you came back to steal a horse

'and some water and I shot you.'

Emily, what are you up to?

Why I'm doing better than you. This way they'll think he's dead

'he won't need either of us to help him.'

Might work.

That is, unless you didn't mean what you said about helping him.

Mavis, you go get the posse.

I hope you know what you're doing.

I hope so too.

Oh, Mr. Maverick.

Before you went to sleep last night

you said something about finding your partner

with mud on his boots.

The only place he could have picked it up was bear pond.

Well, then why did you let her go just now?

Because she would have turned you in.

She's been using you, mister.

Just like she's used everybody, ever since she was a kid.

Well, this is going right back.

Of course, whatever you say. I mean, let's just run now.

What about him?

Oh, let Mavis get out of it the best way she knows how.

They'll never find us.

I know places to those mountains that nobody knows about.

I'll just bet you do.

And stop worrying about Mavis.

She's just bad as that money.

Well, I heard her and Holly talking.

Standing right here in this room.

You sure do get around, don't you?

They thought I was away, but I was right behind that door.

Holly was talking about picking up the package

at Midway station.

And Mavis was goadin' him into taking her with him.

But she didn't tell you that, did she?

Not exactly.

Holly didn't want to take her. He wanted to meet her later.

Except she didn't want to get her hands off that money.

Finally he talked her into his way of thinking.

But you know, Holly was much better than she was.

There he was, right in the center of this room

with that star shining right there on his coat.

Bragging about how he put it over on everybody.

She was mad enough to have shot him right then and there.

Somebody did before he got to Midway station.

There you see, it was Mavis. Only, only, he got away

and she got scared and came back here.

Get a couple of horses. I still have to put that coat on him.

Now you're talking, mister.

Lucky, I found you.

Emily, just shot Maverick.

Oh, good for her. Did he have the money?

- I don't know. - Come on, let's go.

Mr. Maverick?

You sure real did fine with his face.

How can you tell who he is?

Its him alright.

It's all there.

Get him out of here.

Too scared to touch him for the money, huh, Emily?

Well, I said a thousand for his carcass, and I meant it.

Just don't spend it one place.

He sure got himself some food and a horse, didn't he?

Coming?

Another day, another dollar, huh?

Where did that money come from?

'Why don't you tell her, Emily?'

Why did you do it? It could all have been ours.

- We could have gotten away too. - Oh, you got your reward.

Tell me what's going on?

Now, you killed Joe Holly.

'But you gave up the idea of going'

'on to Midway station after he escaped you, not Mavis.'

Me?

That's what she tried to make me believe.

But you went too far, honey.

You're a liar, I never saw him.

You know, Holly may not have been the best sheriff

in the business, but he was nobody's fool.

He would never have allowed anyone to get close enough

with a gun to leave powder burns on his coat.'

'Not unless he knew that person well enough'

to know that they wouldn't pull a gun.

You cannot prove anything. I said I never saw him.

You also said you saw a badge on Holly here at the farm

which you couldn't have.

'You see, Mavis pinned that badge on him'

'at the edge of the woods.'

And she has no reason to lie about a thing like that.

And you only heard Holly talking to Mavis in his room.

And then you rode out there and shot him.

'That's when you saw the badge on his coat.'

'And you thought it'd been there all the time.'

she gave herself away when she didn't have to.

But then most people do.

Now, don't do a thing with me.

'I got this money and I'm leaving here.'

Emily..

I'll think about you, sister.

When I'm all dressed up in my silk clothes

and my high heel shoes with champagne glasses in each hand.

'You and your poor Holly.'

You keep the farm, but I'm talking the horse.

And I'm leaving here and you ain't ever gonna see me no more.

Never!

'Give me my money!'

You ain't gonna talk either.

'I got you, Mavis.'

You're gonna dance when I pull the string now.

Or I'll turn the both of you in for hiding a murderer.

- Why did you have to come back? - 'Gambler's hand.'

You forgot I saw you as once before and they didn't.

'How'd Zindler know that your hands wouldn't be all cut up'

'and scared like that handyman that worked here?'

Well, you haven't wont yet, McGaven.

Because I'm gonna ride into town with Mavis.

I'm gonna go along with her story.

You see, Holly stole that money.

You ain't gonna live that long.

You're dead, remember?

They can't do nothing to me for killing someone who is dead.

Emily.

I'm sorry, Mavis.

But that old saying that the "good die young"..

'...it doesn't figure here.'

Do you think you can make it stick?

Well, let's see.

He came back in and attacked Emily.

And before I could stop him, they killed each other.

He has a bad enough reputation I think they'll believe it.

They will.

I guess as far as Amber flats is concerned

I'll have to remain dead forever.

Maverick, I, I don't want this kind of money, you know that.

Yes, but you deserve it. You got to start some place.

But it ought to be yours.

Well, if it'll make you happy, I'll, uh

borrow enough for a poker stake.

You know..

Maybe this ain't goodbye.

I always pay my debts.

That's one I'll enjoy collecting.

- Is that an invitation? - Could be.

For the future.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.
