All language subtitles for Maverick S05E08 Epitaph for a Gambler ENGLISH

'Maverick.'

- Evening, sheriff.
- I've been looking for you.

Well, I'm always available.

I had a talk with Linda today.

After you took her home.

She seems to think
you're serious about her.

Well, I did my very best
to give her that impression.

You may fool her but not me.

Your kind can
only play it one way.

Can't you think of a man
as a person, not a group?

Not gamblers.

When it's time
for you to move on

you won't give her
another thought.

When I go,
it'll be because she wants it.

I don't believe that anymore,
nor the story

Malone told me about
you staying here.

There's another reason,
something you're both hiding.

When I find it out, you'll go!

I'll see to that.

"Maverick."

Starring Jack Kelly
and James Garner.

A Warner Bros.
television production.

Most tourists are attracted by local

monuments
and public buildings.

My pappy used to say you could
tell more about a town

by looking
at it's gambling emporium

than any other edifice.

Another one.

What do you figure
his specialty is, cards or dice?

Probably both or anything else
he can possibly bet on

including the weather.

I'll just keep an eye on him.

You could see at a glance

wasn't any ordinary layout.

Just why a town
like Sunrise Nevada

rated such class
was beyond my comprehension.

Number 12, the winner.

Now, this is your lucky day.

Place your bets.

No magnets, wires
or other clever little devices

to influence Lady Luck.

On the surface at least,
everything seemed

to pass inspection.

Number two black. Sorry.

Alright, gentlemen,
place your bets.

Ten dollars..

...on number five.

Number five red.

- Number five.
- Hey, hey.

Alright, boys,
let's take a chance again.

Let it ride, please.

Let it ride?

Number five...red.

Oh, cash me in, please.

Would you go over
to the office, please?

'Mr. Malone will pay you off.'

Certainly.

He'll take care of it all.

Thank you.
Oh, uh, just a moment.

Thanks.

Come in.

- Mr. Malone?
- Yes.

My name is Bart Maverick.

"Twelve thousand
six hundred dollars."

Um-hm.

Sorry, Mr. Maverick,
but I don't happen to have

that much cash on hand.

How much cash do you
happen to have on hand?

Two thousand dollars.

That leaves you
quite a bit short, Mr. Malone.

I'll need some time
for the rest.

How much time will you need?

'That depends on business.'

I could go to the sheriff,
you know?

Well, in that case,
you'd never collect any more.

The sheriff's looking
for a good excuse

to close me up.

What do you suggest, Mr. Malone?

Well, you could stay
in town for a while.

Make my place your headquarters.

I'll pay you something
out of each week's take

as much as the traffic
would allow.

That sounds like,
it makes me almost a partner.

Without the disadvantages.

Disadvantages?

You know, Mr. Maverick,
I run an honest game.

And if anyone got
as lucky as you did..

...a partner would have to stand
half those losses.

You make the arrangement sound
positively attractive.

You have any other ideas?

No, I'm fresh out
of ideas, but, uh..

Since no one seems
to know what tomorrow brings

I'd appreciate an IOU
for the rest of that money

until it's paid up.

I guess we'll be seeing
quite a bit of each other.

I'm afraid so.

Oh, pardon me,
I'm awfully sorry.

Sorry.
Hold it.

Back in there.

- Hand it over.
- Hand what over?

The 12 thousand you just won
this afternoon.

Listen, fella,
I'm afraid you're in

for a big disappointment,
all I got was...

'Drop it, Blacky.'

I said drop it!

Look, Maverick.

It's a known fact that
you won a considerable amount

of money tonight.

Isn't that why you were robbed?

Yes, I would say
that was the motive.

Well, where were you going?

Sheriff, I don't mind helping
you clean this thing up.

But you act as if
I killed your deputy.

You didn't pull the trigger
but what'd you do to help him?

Well, I already told you.

Your kind never helps anyone.

Unless it involves a fast buck.

The way it happened,
there wasn't a thing I could do.

Well, there's something
you can do now.

You can get out of town
before anybody else gets hurt

trying to save your money.

Can't oblige, sheriff.

There are reasons
for me staying here.

The only reason I can think
for you staying here

is to go to Wes's funeral.

I'm deeply sorry
about your deputy.

He wasn't just my deputy..

...he was a good friend.

My sincerest sympathy then.

I didn't break
any laws, sheriff.

Till you get a court order
saying that I did

I'm gonna stay right here.

And I am sorry
about your deputy.

Ed.

Is there anything I can do?

He didn't have to die.

Not like that,
protecting our gambler

from losing his winnings.

He gave his life
upholding the law.

You think that makes it
sound any better?

What a waste!

His life for
a tin-horned gambler's.

If I had my way, I'd close
Malone's place right now

and these things
couldn't happen again.

Wes did what you would
have done in his place.

I'm not so sure.

Do you want me
to stay for a while?

No.

There's no reason to be alone
at a time like this.

Wes is alone.

If you change your mind..

...if you want someone
to talk to, I'll be home.

See my brother around, Malone?

No. Try the hotel.

I did and Matt's not there.

Why don't you and your friends
wait somewhere else?

Look..

..we're mindin' our own business
havin' a peaceful drink.

Now, no one could find
fault with that.

Unless he was goin' out his way
to look for trouble.

Thought Sheriff Martin told you
to stay out of this town.

You might have to kiss his feet.
Ha ha. But I don't.

'Uh, four whiskeys.'

Tell him to start pourin'.

I'm gettin' thirsty, Malone.

Make any difference
who serves it?

Still tastes the same.

Ha ha. We'll consider it
on the house.

Shouldn't have
done that, Maverick.

I don't want you shot down,
not until you pay me.

I wasn't gonna
get shot down.

- He would've backed down.
- Maybe.

But I don't like gambling
with a loaded gun.

Especially when
it is pointed at my money.

Hello, sheriff.

I warned you about having
gunmen like that in here.

They just
stopped in for a drink.

Mr. Malone's
being modest, sheriff.

He asked the gentlemen to leave
in spite of the fact

there was a pistol pointed
dangerously close to his person.

Alright, drink up
and get outta here.

You know one of these days
I'm gonna call your bluff.

I find you in town again
you won't have to.

I'll call yours.
Now get outta here.

Okay, boys..

...looks like Matt's
not gonna show up. Let's go.

By the way...if I was you..

...I wouldn't show up
outside of town's limits.

We sorta consider
that our territory.

I told you if any gunmen
come in here

I wanna be notified
right away.

- I didn't have time.
- There never is any.

I'm trying to run
a decent town, it's not easy

with a place like this
in Sunrise.

From what I've seen, sheriff

Mr. Malone runs
an honest establishment.

I should think you'd
consider yourself fortunate.

Well, I don't recognize
any difference between

one gambling house and another,
they're all the same.

They all bring in undesirables.
Some have guns..

...and some have cards

but it all adds up
to one thing, trouble.

Fortunately trouble hasn't been
classified as a crime, yet.

Neither is gambling,
you could have closed

this place up a long time ago.

What are you,
talkin' for Malone, Maverick?

No. My opinions
are strictly my own.

Just what is your interest
here in town, Maverick?

- Well he's, uh..
- I..

He's gonna open a place
in Dodge City

and he's, he's here
watching the operation.

Is that it?

Yeah, you might say
at the moment

I have a large interest
in what happens around here.

Thanks for trying to help.

Sheriff's got to learn
a lesson about people.

Especially ones
he labels undesirable.

Still young.

I don't think I'd give him
that much understanding.

Oh, Maverick, as long
as you're around..

...don't rub him the wrong way.

Anybody who's been doing
any rubbing, it's been him.

I know, but I just
don't want any trouble.

I'll do my utmost to avoid it.

It might jeopardize
my interests around here.

Now, I know why
I never wanted a partner.

'Hello.'

Yes?

If I'd known when I came in
that, uh, that you were...

I'm not.

It's my father you want to see.

He'll be back in just a minute.

I'm sorry, it's my mistake.

Would it have
made any difference?

It probably would've made it
a little difficult

to keep in mind
what I came in for.

Thank you, uh, Mister..

Maverick, Bart Maverick, Miss?

Miss Linda Storey.

But I had something else in mind
when I asked you that question.

You see, I believe that someday
a woman lawyer will be

just as common place
as a male lawyer.

I certainly hope you're wrong.

You have a typical male
point of view, Mr. Maverick.

No, I had something else
in mind too, Miss Storey.

To me a woman can
never become commonplace.

No matter what else she is.

Very tactful.

It's a pity you didn't take up
law instead of gambling.

It seems I'm quite
well known around here.

We're a small town,
Mr. Maverick.

When a stranger wins
a small fortune

and then he's nearly killed
for it, he naturally attracts

a certain amount of attention.

Father, this is Bart Maverick.
He would like to see you.

How do you do?

I'm sorry to have kept
you waiting, Mr. Maverick.

No apologies necessary,
you're daughter made

waiting a pleasure.

I'll see
if the office supplies are in.

Now, then, sir?

I need some advice
on a confidential level.

Oh, won't you
sit down, please?

I'll try and be
of service to you.

Thank you.

Mr. Storey.

At the moment, I am holding
an IOU of Dan Malone's

for $10,000.

You're reputation
has preceded you.

Is this the money
you supposedly won?

Oh, I won it. It's just that
Mr. Malone didn't have

sufficient funds to cover it.

If Sheriff Martin knew that,
he'd have grounds

to close Malone's place.

If he knew it.

As I understand that a lawyer
is under oath not to betray

a client's confidence.

That's quite right, sir.

Now, if I were to sell
the IOU, I'd like to know

how much it might be worth
and if you know anyone

who'd be interested
in buying it.

What I've seen of Mr. Malone,
he honors his debts.

But his debt is with you.

You're the only one
who stands a chance to collect.

Oh.

Well, thanks
for the information.

How much do I owe you?

'There's no charge
for general information.'

Only legal advice.

If I don't pay you a fee,
I'm not legally your client.

'And then you'll be free
to divulge any information'

'I might have given you.'

You would've made
a good lawyer, Mr. Maverick.

That's what your daughter said.

That's the one.
I'll see you later.

- Miss Storey.
- Yes?

Would you, uh, tell me
where they serve

the best
cup of coffee in town?

At the hotel, I think.

I was wondering maybe
you might join me.

I'm afraid not. I have some
work to do for my father.

Oh, that's a shame.

- 'Another time?'
- Maybe.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow night...at my house.

I can't say much
for my mother's coffee

but I'm sure father
would enjoy a game of whist.

Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.

Goodbye.

Dan.

I noticed you talkin'
to Linda Storey.

Yeah, I noticed you noticed.
Anything wrong?

She's not for you, Maverick.

That's up to her, isn't it?

It's up to you to put a stop to
it before it goes any further.

Now, why should I do that?

Because we're different, you
and me and the others like us.

We put everything on a hand
of poker, the turn of a wheel

and if we lose,
well, there's always tomorrow.

'We've got no right to involve
normal people in our lives.'

Now, you speak for yourself.

I live by the law of averages,
take a chance now and then.

But that doesn't classify me
as some sort of freak.

We both know that there's
a payoff to every bet.

There's also a pay off to every
gambler's life, remember that.

Thanks for the advice, Dan.

'Maverick.'

Linda Storey is practically
engaged to Ed Martin.

Now, listen to me, Dan.

I'll turn the other cheek,
I'll even swallow an insult

once in a while.

But I just can't live my life
to suit Ed Martin.

I'm sorry.

Thank you again for the flowers,
they're lovely.

Oh, compared to you
they're dandelions.

Thank you.

Thank you. I had
a wonderful evening.

I'm afraid you fixed it so there
will be living with father.

Oh?

Letting him beat
a professional gambler at whist.

Linda, one thing is positive.

If you were in the room
when I was actually working..

...I'd turn into
a rank amateur like that.

Ha ha. I like that, Bart,
even though I don't believe it.

Can I see you again?

Yes.

When?

Whenever you say.

I say tomorrow.

Then it's tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

My pappy always said that
someday a lady like Linda

would make me forget
all about Lady Luck.

And as usual pappy was right.

Ed martin didn't make
things any easier for us

but somehow we managed to learn
a great deal about each other.

The more I learned,
the more convinced I was

that Linda was
the kind of a girl

who could make a full house
mean kids, not cards.

And that was fine with me.

Evenin', Dan.

Right that time of week again.

Yeah.

That's only $200.

With the action out there
the girls should have made

that much money in tips alone.

It's all there is.

At this rate, I must be
in my declining years here.

I don't like it
any better than you do.

Now, that is
a debatable statement.

Try and do better next time,
will ya?

Hey...what's the hurry?

It's getting late.

Not that late.

What's wrong?

Father doesn't want me
to see you after today.

Any reason in particular
or just on general principles?

He says you'll be
leaving here soon.

After you complete
some business with Mr. Malone.

Well, he's right about
the second part.

But he's wrong about the first.

I intend to stay here as long
as you still want to see me.

You know the answer to that.

What about Ed Martin?

We have known each other
for a long time.

But I don't really know him.

Not the way a woman
should know the man

she's supposed to marry.

You're gonna have
to make a decision

between us
sooner or later, Linda.

That's what he said.

Do you think you could
make your decision

by the time I wind up
my business with Malone?

If we keep on seeing each other
as much as we have..

...it will be more or less
decided for us.

'Maverick.'

- Evening, sheriff.
- I've been looking for you.

Well, I'm always available.

I had a talk with Linda today.

After you took her home.

She seems to think
you're serious about her.

Well, I did my very best
to give her that impression.

You may fool her but not me.

You're kind can
only play it one way.

Can't you think of a man
as a person, not a group?

Not gamblers. When it's time
for you to move on

you won't give Linda
another thought.

When I go, it'll be because
that's the way she wants it.

I don't believe that anymore,
nor the story

Malone told me about
you staying here.

There's another reason,
something you're both hiding

and I find it out, you'll go.

I'll see to that.

- Let me have a whiskey.
- Yeah, sure.

'Ah! Number 11 black.

Oh, better luck next time.

Here to place a bet, Mr. Elkins?

Yeah, number 16.

Number 16, the winner.

Well, the number paid off
that time, huh?

Fast way to make some money.

- Thank you, Kit.
- It's alright.

I've heard of honest games
but this is ridiculous.

The house was paying off
on number 16.

And 22 is the winner.

'Care to place a bet?'

Dan, you oughta know,
we're being taken.

Are you trying to tell me
one of my dealers is crooked?

Maybe another name for it.
I just saw Kit pay $500

to a man who didn't even bet
on the winning number.

Flashy looking character
wearin' a wild tie.

Now what are you
gonna do about it?

It's my problem.

No, no. It's our problem,
$10,000 worth.

Alright, you may as well know,
that was Matt Elkins.

He's a brother of the man
you met the other day

called Lucky Matt Elkins.

In his case luck had
nothing to do with it.

I pay him off weekly,
it's a business expense.

Protection?

You mean, that sheriff's
on the take?

I didn't say that.

I pay to keep
competition outta town.

Maybe you better explain
just how that works.

Matt Elkins has connections.

Whenever anyone wants
to open up in this town

his contacts have a little talk
with the prospective owner

'and he changes his mind.'

Contacts like his brother Sam
and the three silent partners?

I used to pay Matt off
in the office once a week.

I couldn't risk that with you
around so I changed the method.

Kit wasn't supposed to pay him
off when you were in the room.

'It wasn't Kit's fault.'

Listen to me, Dan.

From now on there's gonna be
some changes in our operation.

- Wait a minute, we made a deal.
- We didn't go into details.

From now on we're both gonna
count that cash each night.

And I'm gonna take out my half.

There won't be any more
expense money siphoned off

for Matt Elkins,
until I'm paid up.

Elkin's group
isn't gonna like this.

Then you better
explain it to 'em, Dan.

- I can't.
- Or the sheriff.

If I'm forced
to show him your IOU..

...he's gonna be forced
to close you up.

Then you'll never
get your money.

It doesn't look like
I'm gonna get it any other way.

And since I need it
more than Elkins

I regret, I have no choice.

Sure, you need it more.

You think $10,000
is gonna help Linda Storey

forget Ed Martin?

If I thought so I would have
told her a long time ago.

Alright, you got me
over a barrel.

Yeah, I got you
over a barrel, Dan.

Just give me enough time
to pay off Maverick

then we'll go back
to our usual arrangements.

We have a bargain and it
doesn't include Mr. Maverick.

No, sir,
he's your problem, not mine.

There's nothing
I can do about it.

Alright.

But I wonder what will happen
when the truth comes out.

Don't push me, Elkins!

You kill me I got it fixed.
Everybody'll know.

- You're lyin'.
- Better not take that chance.

You got 24 hours
to take care of Maverick.

When you consider what's at
stake I'm being very generous.

There's only one thing
keepin' you alive, Elkins.

'Don't push your luck.'

'Tonight's receipts, Maverick.

Seven hundred dollars.

I can't please both
you and Matt Elkins.

Who in the devil could that be?

Dan, I was my way home
when I heard.

Matt Elkins, he's been murdered.

This is where he hit his head.

Somebody must have
knocked him down first.

Alright, I'll make up
the report.

Murdered by a person
or persons unknown.

Look who's in town
for the funeral.

Hmph!

Since when do they hold
funerals in a bank?

I don't wanna sound callous..

...but as you're obligations
to Matt Elkins is over

I'd appreciate
to look at your books.

Dan, Matt wasn't lying.

- He had it fixed.
- How do you know?

I just saw Sam Elkins
go into the bank.

It's something more
than just a pay off?

This is none of your business.

You're not gonna use
my money for blackmail.

My whole life depends on this.

You haven't stopped
anything, Maverick.

You've just started it.

I was just comin'
to see you, sheriff.

That so?

My brother left this envelope
in a safe deposit box.

It was to be given to me
in case he met a violent death.

If it is gonna give clues
I'd like to look at it.

'Don't be too sure.'

'I know what's in there.'

Now, suppose we go over to your
office where you can read it

then you can swear out
a warrant for Dan Malone.

For murder.

Wish I had never read it.

Wishin' won't change it.
Malone's a murderer.

That's not what's
eatin' him up.

He just found out
Malone's also his father.

- What?
- It's all there on the letter.

Enough proof
to hang his old man.

I could've got
to Sam Elkins in time

I would've paid him off
to keep my son

from finding out
who his father is.

How did he know?

An envelope they picked up
at the bank.

Matt was Dan's cellmate
in prison.

'When Matt was released
he looked Dan up'

'and threatened
to tell Ed the truth'

unless he got money every week.

That's why Dan had
to lie to you about the pay off.

What's so terrible
about Ed finding out?

I stand for everything
that boy's against.

I ran out on my wife and child.

'Went to prison

And when I came back
his mother was dead.

People who were raising him
told me that

he blamed me for her death.

Hated the memory
of his father.

Why do you stay here, Dan?

'Cause I wanted to
watch him grow up.

Be around if he
ever needed help.

There's a pay off
to every gambler's life.

Mine's on its way.

I'm afraid it's already here.

Sorry, you had to find out
this way, Ed.

I did what I thought was best.

I arrest you for the murder
of Matt Elkins.

I didn't kill him.

It's all in this letter.

Matt Elkins was alive
when I left him last night.

Can you prove that?

No. Matt and I
were alone in his room.

Mm-hm.

Okay, let's go.

Just a minute. I don't think
that'll be necessary.

This doesn't concern you,
Maverick.

Oh, yeah, it concerns me
very much.

Especially since I can prove
that Matt Elkins was alive

'after your father
left him last night.'

How?

They were alone in the room,
he just said so.

I saw Dan go up there,
and I waited.

After he left I saw
Elkins pull down the shade.

Why were you there?

'Cause I'm holding Malone's IOU
for a considerable sum.

After I found out Elkins
was cutting in on my take

I became very interested.

That IOU was cooked up just
to make the story sound good.

I'm afraid not.

Mr. Maverick came to see me
several days ago seeking advice

on just that subject.

And Dan didn't leave the casino
after he came back

I know, because I was with him.

Maverick wants him to stay alive
so he can get his money back.

And everybody knows
why she'd lie.

- Shut up, Elkins.
- You gonna arrest him or not?

When I get proof enough
that'll stand up in court.

I've seen men arrested for less.

Except when they weren't
somebody's daddy.

Get outta here.

Ha ha. Sure.

We'll be camped down the road,
an old Mexican town.

If he's not in jail
by sundown, we'll be back.

And it won't be just for him.

We'll get those
who are protectin' him too.

He meant what he said.

You better take me in.

Look, if you lock me up, maybe
there won't be any trouble.

Don't worry. It's my job
to protect you.

I wasn't thinkin' of myself.

Ed, will ya come into the office
a minute, I wanna talk to you?

You're just about
20 years too late.

Oh, Ed, Ed, you judged him
guilty years ago

don't destroy him
for that now!

What do you think
he's done to me?

How can I wear this
with respect and honor?

I'm sorry for you.

Linda, you just
don't feel sorry for me.

What have I done?

You've always judged people
by your standards.

'Black or white,
or good or bad.'

There's been no room
for sympathy and understanding.

I wish that
some day you would change.

Now I know you never will.

Is that why you've been
seeing Maverick?

He's a kind
considerate man.

Isn't that enough?

I thought you felt that way
about me once.

I did.

Once.

And now?

Ed, I just can't accept what
you're doing to your own father.

Well, you're forgetting
one thing.

He's a convicted murderer!

He's only free because
he served his time.

Dan Malone shot a man
in a gunfight.

A witness said he shot
in self-defense

a second disagreed.

The judge refused to give him
the benefit of the doubt.

I would've done the same.

Two years later
the second witness

confessed he had
perjured himself

because he owed
your father money.

And that's when
Dan was released.

How do you know that?

My father looked up
the court records.

Even a judge can be wrong.

Maverick, Dan's going out
to face Sam Elkins alone.

Please talk to him,
he won't listen to me.

Alright.

What do you hope to accomplish
beside getting killed?

It's better than Ed getting
killed trying to protect me.

Dan, there are gonna be four men
out there just waiting for you.

Maverick, you're a gambler.

You know that you can't
pick your own odds.

If I don't go out there,
they'll be comin' here.

You're not going, Dan.

Kit, there is nothing that you
can say that would change it.

I killed Matt Elkins, Dan.

I don't believe that.

On my way home that night..

...I went up to his room to ask
him to give you more time.

Time enough to pay Bart off.

He said he'd consider it
if I'd become more friendly.

'When I laughed at him,

We struggled and somehow
he fell and hit his head.

He was just lying there
staring up at me.

Afterward, when they found him..

...that's when I came
and told you about it.

Kit, how could you
be so foolish?

When I saw what you were
going through, Dan

I just couldn't
stand by and watch.

Put the gun away and stay here.
I'm going over and see Ed.

No, Kit.
It wouldn't change a thing.

Sam Elkins would just say that
you're covering up for me.

Doesn't make any difference
what he'd say, Dan.

It's still the truth.

Someone has to face Sam Elkins.

I'm not gonna let
Ed do it for me.

Isn't there something you
can do to stop him?

Yeah, with a gun.
But I have to shoot.

There wouldn't be
any talk of guns

if you hadn't
interfered this morning.

If you hadn't stopped Dan...

Kit, blackmail isn't the answer.

It just postpone things
a little

till Dan could pay anymore.

Maybe. Maybe not.

But you are you
to make that decision?

I guess you're right.

I'm sorry.

You should be.

I would like to talk to you.

Hello, Linda.

'Kit.'

Where are you going?

Where I should've gone
from the beginning.

To tell Ed Martin the truth.

'Kit.'

What's happened?

She killed Matt Elkins.

'It was self-defense.'

I told Eddy misjudged
his father.

You'll soon realize
how much, Linda.

Dan just went out
to face Sam Elkins.

But if she's guilty,
why is that necessary?

It's necessary to Dan.

'It's his way of making up to Ed
for all the trouble he caused.'

But Ed will go out there as soon
as she tells him the truth.

- Probably.
- You know he will.

And he won't stand much
of a chance either, will he?

Linda, what did you
come here to tell me?

It isn't important now.

Maybe it is.

I came to ask you to..

...try and bring Ed
and his father together.

Ed means a great deal
to you, doesn't he?

I don't know.

I walked out on him
a little while ago.

But now I'm not sure.

I think I am.

Incidentally, thank you

for finally
making that decision about us.

But I haven't given it
any serious thought.

I know.

That's how decisions are made.

If it's any consolation to you
I'm going out there too.

Thank you.

Normally, I'm not the sort of
a fella who sticks his neck out

for someone else.

But, in a way,
I was responsible.

And I couldn't see a lovely
thing like Linda spend her days

mourning for her intended..

Specially since I wouldn't

Elkins.

I know you can see me.

I came alone.

You come out alone.

Just for the records,
I didn't kill your brother.

Then, you had it done.

It's the same thing.

I had nothing to do with it.

I don't buy that Malone.

I didn't think you would.

Dad, it's a trap!

'Drop it.'

That was a foolish thing to do.

I dealt the cards, son.

I had to play the hand.

This is one time you should've
come to me first, pa.

Pa?

Thanks.

Just can't put people
into groups, Ed.

They're all individuals.
They're all different.

I'm sorry.

Morning, Kit.

You're going to have
to get up earlier.

Dan always opened up the place.

What are these for?

The keys to the kingdom.

The place is all yours.

I'm afraid not, Kit.

I don't like to get up early.

But Dan owed you $10,000.

Yeah.

Now we're even.

Goodbye, Kit.

You wipe your boot off outside!

You're in Diamond Dan's place!

Not some run down
honky-tonk saloon!

Dan was right.

There's a pay off
for every gambler.

For him, it was his life.

For me?

Well, I was minus
a considerable

sum of money and Linda.

But then, I still had
my own skin intact.

And a slightly
worn deck of cards.

I wondered if any gambler
had a right to expect more.
