Original subtitles

Mr. Maverick, your little joke has gone too far.

- What? - I was a gentleman about this.

But you're imposing upon my good nature.

You mean the money..

Is not, of course, where you said it was.

But...

Now, Mr. Maverick

would you care to tell me where you put it?

I swear to you I put that money in the safe myself.

You force me to make an example.

- Hmm? - Take him over to that tree.

"Maverick."

Starring Jack Kelly and James Garner.

A Warner Bros. Television Production.

Lots of people lose things

I've even lost few poker games.

But these two chaps have lost something a bit larger

and they are pretty upset about it.

The big fellow is Tim Hardesty.

He's a Wells Fargo agent for Cut Bank, Kansas.

The well-dressed gentlemen is Amos Skinner.

And if he looks like a railroad president

it's because he is one.

Yeah, Skinner and Hardesty have lost something.

They've lost a...train.

Engine, tender, express car, coach and diner vanished

without a trace. Ridiculous, you say?

I'd have said so too. Except for one thing.

When that train left Whipsaw at noon, heading West

I was on it.

My name is Bart Maverick.

- Well, it certainly is big. - It is fabulous.

Oh, come now, Modesty

you know you're not gonna marry that fella.

You can't. He's nothing but a shriveled up, little, old...

- Millionaire. - Yeah.

Uh, no. Well, what I mean, what if he is?

Still not enough reason to marry.

Oh, Bart, I'm tired of this life.

Traveling from town to town. No place to ever call my own.

Just, well, drifting.

But you don't love him.

Now, listen, I'm not gonna let you do it.

I'm not gonna let you throw your life away.

Oh, Bart, oh, I was hoping you'd say that.

And there is another way.

I couldn't think of doing it by myself.

But now that you've agreed to help me.

- I didn't, I didn't agree. - I know. I know.

I know.

You know there's never been anyone else in my life but you.

Now, Modesty, that..

All I ever wanted was just a little money

so we could be happy.

Well, how much is a little money?

Ooh, a hundred thousand dollars.

A hundred..

Whatever you're gonna say, I don't wanna hear a word.

It'll be easy, I have a plan.

Every time you have a plan I always end up in trouble.

- Oh, let me tell you about it. - Not one word.

You said you didn't want me to marry Amos.

I might've been wrong about that too.

After all, you gotta think of your future.

Drifting from town to town, having no place to call your..

Why did you do that?

Oh, just to show you what you'd be..

...missing.

Hey!

- What's goin' on here? - Well..

This here cardsharp been botherin' you, Miss Blaine?

That's alright, Hoad, we're old friends.

I have never seen this man in my life.

- Modesty? - That's what I thought.

Come on, you.

Doc, hey, Doc.

Well, Bart, I didn't know you were in town.

- How are things? - They're alright.

Help me get this ape off my back.

Tryin' to rid the town of its rowdier element?

What's he done?

Caught him foolin' around with Mr. Skinner's fiancee.

Tryin' to alienate the young lady's affections, no doubt.

Probably trying to do that too.

I thought you were my friend.

I thought so too until you ran out on me.

I couldn't help that. I can give you the money back we lost.

Too late. I've had to get my myself a job.

- Okay, step aside. - Where are you taking him?

To see Mr. Skinner if that's any of your business.

- Help me. - I'll help you.

I'll be a character witness for you.

Oh, fine. That'll just get me tarred and feathered.

Gentlemen.

Thank you, Montague.

Frankly, I think Mr. Brady is goin' out on a limb.

But I'd be a poor businessman not to accept his offer.

I've been accused of foolishness

Like the time I bought diamond-studded garters

for the girls in my chorus line.

Every one said I was wasting my money.

But you've never seen Floradora girls kick so high

in all your life.

Yes, sir.

When I believe in something I go right ahead and do it.

And I believe that my locomotive is faster than the ones

Mr. Sprague has been selling you.

If you can cut my schedule by four hours

you got my business.

- All of it? - 'That's our agreement.'

- Yes, but I... - I'm sorry, Montague, but...

Oh, I'm sure Mr. Sprague will understand.

We've been friendly competitors for years.

No such thing as friendship in business.

And you won't feel very friendly either

when this idiotic test of yours fails.

- I don't think it will fail. - You haven't got a chance.

And I'll back that with money.

I didn't know you were a bettin' man.

Sure thing is no gamble.

Uh, 5000 or are you that sure?

Let's make it 10.

Splendid. My engine crosses the state line by midnight.

Or you keep the St. Joseph's business

and my money.

You'll hold the stakes, Mr. Skinner?

Oh, of course.

I'll have to go to the bank.

Then I suggest that we meet at the depot.

Fine.

I, uh, I want to see Mr. Brady off.

I'll meet you there.

- In you go. - What's this, Hoad?

I just caught him in a restaurant, Mr. Skinner.

Well, there's no law against eatin'.

Ah, he doesn't look like a criminal type.

Weak features perhaps, but certainly

'not a bad lookin' fella.'

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Skinner.

'What's he done?'

For one thing, sir, he's a cheatin' cardsharp.

'Took me for three weeks' pay last night.'

You should be careful with your money, Leroy.

And I just caught him disturbin' a lady too.

Ah!

I think I understand

knowin' your regard for the fairer sex

but we more mature men must be tolerant.

- But the lady was Miss Blaine. - Modesty Blaine?

- 'Yes, sir.' - With this..

With this tinhorn?

Now, let's not forget about the mature tolerance, sir.

My fiancee with this unprincipled scoundrel!

Can't we just go back to where you thought

I wasn't so bad looking?

Shall I work him over?

No, no, no. As it happens, I can't bear violence.

I'm very happy

Unless it happens to be absolutely necessary.

- Oh. - Now, let's see.

I think the best plan for you would be to get out

of this state altogether by, shall we say, midnight?

- 'By midnight?' - Oh, you don't need to worry.

There's a train out of here at noon.

'You'll be on it. Mr. Hoad will accompany you.'

- 'Won't you, Leroy?' - Yes, sir.

He's kinda sneaky though. He might try somethin'.

If he's not out of this state by midnight

you may take your three weeks' pay

out of his hide. Then, bring him back.

And I'll give him about a year to recover. In jail.

- In jail? For what? - Oh, I'll think of something.

Mr. Skinner, you can't do this to me.

I'm gonna see the governor hears about this.

Be sure to say hello for me.

'He's my brother.'

- Oh, no. - 'Take him to the train.'

Holliday..

...hadn't you better get started for the train?

Relax, Sprague, and join me in a little toast

to underhandedness, the delay of progress

and man's inhumanity to man.

I never allow whiskey to interfere with business.

You call this dirty, little scheme of yours business?

Now, see here, Holliday, you were perfectly willing

to take my money.

I happened to need it.

What I'm interested in is how you intend to earn your pay?

- The train will be delayed. - Sshh-h-h.

How it's done will be my business.

- Till past midnight. - Past midnight.

- Fine. - Fine.

- Fine. - Fine.

I assure you nobody will be hurt, but Brady.

He can afford it.

My dear, you will shortly become the wife

of the most important man in the community, me.

You must be careful with whom you associate.

Oh, I will. I-I just didn't realize there were such men

in the world to take advantage of a..

...of a helpless girl.

I couldn't expect you to know about such things.

Well, Mr. Skinner, what do you think of her?

She's got nice lines, hasn't she?

What?

Oh, yes, very nice indeed.

Uh, may I present my intended, Miss Blaine.

Mr. Brady.

- Pleased, ma'am. - 'And Mr. Sprague.'

Pretty paint job doesn't mean anything.

It's what's underneath that counts.

What about our bet?

Since you're both goin' on the train

why not put the money in the baggage car safe?

The winner can collect as soon as the train reaches Denver.

- That makes sense. - The baggage car?

Well, I don't know.

Oh, nothin' to be afraid about.

The safe is brand new, built right into the car

and absolutely crack-proof.

Uh, as a matter of fact

there's a $100,000 treasury shipment in it right now.

Amos darling, you said no one should know.

My dear, I'm glad that you respect the things I tell you

in confidence, but I'm sure we can trust these gentlemen.

- Oh, yes, of course. - Shall we go?

Two for Denver. Round-trip and a one-way.

I hope I'm not taking you out of your way.

Now, don't get smart. Let's get movin'.

That's Mr. Brady's money.

Montague. Yours.

There we are.

I'll wire my agent in Denver to turn it over to whichever

one of you wins.

- Not much doubt that. - Hmm. Time will tell.

Uh, speaking of time, it's almost noon.

Oh, is it really? I really must be going, Amos darling.

- Dinner as usual? - Of course. Of course.

- Bye. - Bye.

I never expected to marry, but when Miss Blaine

came into my life, I realized what a priceless treasure

had been sent my way.

Well, I'd like to wish you both luck.

But one must win and one must lose.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Mr. Skinner.

Goodbye.

- Bart! Bart Maverick! - Diamond Jim.

The last time I saw you was over a straight flush back in Denver.

And you took quite a bit of money from me that night.

- How about getting even? - Well, I've got the equipment.

What do you say to some poker, Sprague?

I have better ways of passing the time

than in games of chance.

Jim, we'll just have to play two-handed.

Uh-uh. I'm sorry, Mr. Brady, you'll have to play solitaire.

This joker here ain't goin' no place.

If Bart Maverick wants to play poker

he shall play poker.

Look, buster, I'm the deputy on this railroad

so don't get gay.

Well, I'm not particularly known for my gaiety.

And I say he shall play poker.

You wanna bet?

If you do, I will take some of the action.

Unless I've mistaken, my man, you're Doc Holliday.

Uh, the one and only.

No need for trouble, gentlemen.

I'll take personal responsibility

for your prisoner.

If you say so.

Excuse me, Mr. Hoad. Thanks, Doc.

You had me worried for a minute back there in town.

So what're you doin' on a train to Denver?

- That job I took. - Oh.

At least you're still sticking by your friends.

Naturally. Specially when I wanna play poker.

Oh. Uh, shall we adjourn to the club car?

- Hmm. See you later, Sprague. - Excuse me.

Holliday..

...you better get things fixed.

A lot depends on it.

If it will take a load off your rather insignificant little mind

I should tell you that I've arranged to delay the train

for at least five hours.

There's no need to be rude.

A very bad habit of mine, but you can help me overcome it

by keeping your revolting person out of my sight.

- Oh, waiter? - 'Yes, sir.'

My compliments to the chef.

And tell him Mr. Brady missed his lunch.

Well, I don't see anything there I don't like.

Yes, sir.

I always play better on a full stomach, Bart.

- Well, Doctor, are you ready? - Doc.

Hold on to your hats, gentlemen, you're in for a real ride.

We're off, Fred.

- Excuse me. - Hmm. Thank you.

- And a bit more coffee, please. - Yes, sir.

- I'll open. - Call.

You sure you gentlemen won't join me?

'The food is excellent.'

I had luncheon with a young lady just before leaving, Jim.

Which is precisely why I'm here.

- Two please. - Three.

Well, I didn't mean to pry.

Matter of fact, if I'm not out of the state by midnight

that fella, Hoad, is gonna take his poker losses out of my hide.

- Did you say midnight? - 'Yeah.'

Well, rest easy, Bart, we're well ahead of schedule.

I think this hand is worth a friendly bet, uh...of 500?

- Did you say friendly? - 'Oh, come on, Bart.'

'You can't take it with you.'

Well, my only problem is, Jim, to make it stretch till I go.

- 'Call.' - Doc?

I think I'll go back to drinking.

Hmm.

- There you are, Bart. - 'Done it to me again, Jim.'

I always figured I was a better poker player, Bart

but modesty prevented my saying so.

Modesty?

Now, if it wasn't for modesty none of this would be happening.

I wonder what she is up to?

Two, Jim.

Dealer takes one..

- Oh! - Careful.

Excuse me.

'Ha! This is the first time

- 'What's the matter?' - Huh? Oh, nothing.

Nothing. I just had a silly thought.

Well, I guess that's the end of our game.

No, no, I have some fresh cards in my bag. I'll get them.

- Excuse me. - Of course.

Pardon me, is this seat occupied?

Well..

Thank you.

I certainly hope that you won't think me as being too forward

but see you remind me of a girl that I know.

- Oh, really? - Mmm-hmm.

Wonderful, warm-hearted, tender, young thing.

Kind of a girl that wouldn't dream for a moment

of getting a friend into trouble.

- How nice? - Hmm.

Well, the only difficulty is is that she is untrustworthy

unreliable and underhanded.

- Oh. - But beautiful.

Bart, don't be angry with me.

How did that money get into my bag?

Money? Oh..

That money.

Well, I intended to tell you about it really.

It's, uh, it's..

...the treasury shipment.

Well, I don't care..

The United States Treasury?

When I came to Whipsaw Mr. Skinner was boasting

about the new safe that he was gonna have installed

for shipment of treasury funds.

And then I got sort of, well...friendly with him

and I picked his pockets

to get the combination to the safe.

Don't lie to me now, Modesty. I must have the truth.

How did that money get into my suitcase?

Well, now, you just gotta help me, Bart.

- Find a place to hide it. - I've gotta..

So no one will find it when they stop the train.

Well, I'm not going to..

When they do what?

Someone's gonna stop the train. I don't know why.

- Who? When? - Then, that'll be our chance...

How do you know this?

Well, I heard Mr. Sprague talk to that nice gentleman

in the black suit.

What gentleman?

- You mean Doctor Holliday? - Why, I think so.

Anyway, when they do, it'll be our chance to escape.

Don't you see? Huh?

Bart? Where are you going?

- She's slowin' down. - Of course.

'Get ready to throw

Pour it on, Fred, and we'll be through the pass in a minute.

You may get back out of sight.

Take over, Fred.

Oh, land of ocean.

This ain't the way to Denver.

We'll get the switch up and hide it in the woods.

Now, hurry up.

When we're finished, I don't wanna find a footprint here.

What happened, uh, gentlemen?

- Get back inside, fatso. - What?

My rather crude friend means that if you don't return

to the seat in your coach immediately

he'll be obliged to shoot you.

That applies to your dapper companion as well.

You were always one

to overdo things, weren't you, Mr. Radcliffe?

Now, now, Doctor, you got your money's worth.

Miss Blaine?

Oh, well, how nice to see you again.

I, uh, it is a small world, isn't it?

I was just saying to Mr. Maverick.

You.

Yeah.

Oh, I get it now.

You talked her into running away with you, didn't ya?

I suppose it wouldn't do any good to deny it.

That's right. It wouldn't. You wait till we get outta here.

I'll take care of you for good. I'll not wait until midnight.

Alright, cut out the chatter. Get back there and sit down.

Uh, your gun, please.

We don't want the others to become suspicious.

I'll put it inside my coat.

Please, Mr. Holliday.

Offhand, I'd say I could draw and fire three shots

through your liver before you fired once, Mr. Radcliffe.

You always were

weren't you, Doctor?

Shall we proceed?

Please, don't be alarmed, ladies and gentlemen.

It'd be a short layover here

while I attend to some business in the baggage car.

If you all behave yourselves, no one will be hurt.

How long are you going to keep us here?

- A few hours, no more. - 'A few hours?'

'Just as long as it takes me

with that treasury shipment in it.

Look here, my name is Jim Brady. I'm in a hurry to get to Denver.

You're a very famous man, Mr. Brady.

I regret delaying you.

Well, why don't you take what you want and let us go?

I'd be glad to answer that.

You see, I'm rather well known myself.

In a different line, of course.

Justin Radcliffe. You know the name?

I've heard of it. Didn't know you were out of prison.

I was restored to society quite recently.

Mr. Radcliffe, don't you like it on the outside?

Or are you looking for a quiet cell to write another book?

Aha! A litterateur.

So you read my little volume?

As much of it as I could stand.

Then you're doubtless aware of my theory

that the only successful crimes are the really big ones.

Crimes committed with..

...imagination..

...flair.

Charming.

Brilliance, I might even say.

You could derail the baggage car.

Crack the safe at your leisure.

You simply don't understand, do you, Mr. Brady?

No one understood. They all laughed at my theories.

Said they'd never work, so I decided to show them.

I vowed that when I was released I would commit a crime

of such magnitude, of such daring

as to remove all doubt from the minds

of those philistines.

And so I have.

I have stolen a train.

A whole train.

It's mine. Until I finish with it.

Everything okay?

Now, if you will excuse me, ladies and gentlemen

business calls.

You may find that safe a little tough to open.

You should've read my book, Mr. Brady.

I'm also the world's greatest safecracker.

He must do something about that inferiority complex.

Is he the world's greatest safecracker?

I don't know.

You know, Diamond Jim still might have time

to win his bet if I give him the money.

- Uh-uh. - Oh, no?

How are you gonna stop me?

By telling everyone you stole it.

Now, who'd believe that?

Hmm.

Mr. Hoad may.

- Hello, Diamond. - Oh, Bart.

- The Golden Eagle. - Hmm?

An old mine mine spur, looks like.

I seem to recall that name, Golden Eagle.

Matter of fact, I think my pappy used to sell stock in that mine.

Your pappy sold stock in a real mine?

Oh, Bart, you know

an honest day's work in his life.

Jim, he sold that stock after the vein petered out.

Oh, that's better.

For a minute there you nearly shook my faith in him.

Hmm, I wish he were here now.

A wonderful man, your pappy

with his devious, conniving ways.

He'd figure out something to get us outta this.

You know, he might at that.

'Course he'd stick you pretty good for it.

Naturally. But I'd gladly pay $10,000 for the privilege.

Say, Jim, like father, like son.

Does that offer hold true for me?

Sure, Bart. You got an idea?

I don't know.

Something keeps rattling around in my head.

Like something I ought to remember.

You're going to sleep on it?

- No, I'm just thinking. - Hmm.

Well, unless we come up with something, I'm going...

Unless I come up something, I'd face a year in jail

if I don't cross that state line by midnight.

Oh.

Golden Eagle Mine.

What do you mean disappeared?

Have you been drinkin', Hardesty?

- I'm a Wells Fargo man, sir. - Oh, sorry.

The train is gone.

It didn't show up in Cut Bank. I rode that handcar all the way.

Searched every inch of the track.

- Impossible. - I know what I saw.

Then we're going back over that track, Hardesty.

And we're gonna find that train.

Yes, sir.

You have any idea where we are?

I haven't the foggiest.

I thought you might because Miss Blaine

told me she overheard you speaking with Mr. Sprague.

Oh.

It's not that I'm, I'm suspicious of you

being subversive, Doc, but is that a gun

underneath your coat?

Now, why'd you do it?

I had no idea that you were gonna be on this train.

I wish you'd stop going around getting yourself into trouble.

Getting myself into tr...

Getting involved with some innocent young girl.

Doc, I don't wanna disillusion you

about that sweet, innocent girl, but she's got more larceny

in her little finger than you got in your whole body.

It's because of her that Hoad's out to kill me.

And if he's not successful, Radcliffe will finish the job.

- Radcliffe? - Yeah.

Well, why Radcliffe?

She got to the safe before him.

She's got the money, but she planted it on me.

- Pretty little thing. - Yeah, like a female panther.

I'd love to see Radcliffe's face when he opens that safe.

Hmm.

Can't you get it?

When you work with me longer, Rufus, you will know better

than to ask such questions.

We've been tricked.

Indeed we have. And a very clever trick it was.

Letting us know they were using the train

then sending the money some other way.

Well, you'll have to admire a thinking like that.

- What do we do now? - What can we do?

At least we have Doctor Holliday's 2000

for delaying the train.

We get the men and we clear out.

You ever think of making out a will?

- A will. - Hmm.

My old pappy always told me, "Any man who needs to make out

a will just isn't spending his money properly."

Why?

I was just being practical. Looking ahead.

You get a good rest, Doc.

Attention, please, I have an announcement to make.

I regret having delayed you for so long

but I do thank you for your cooperation.

My men and I are leaving now.

You can replace the switch and continue on your way.

Incidentally, it may be of solace to some of you

to know that I...failed.

So the safe couldn't be cracked after all.

Nonsense. There is no safe that I can't open.

Unfortunately, this one was empty.

Empty?

What about the money from our bet?

What money is that, sir?

Mr. Skinner himself put it there before we left.

I saw him.

There's a thief onboard.

'I do believe someone's

'I wonder who it can be?'

Rufus, take everyone outside, so we can search this car.

On your feet. All of you.

Ah!

Excuse me, ladies.

Rather inconvenient, wouldn't you say, Doctor?

Yes. yes, it is.

I'm, uh, sorry about your bet.

Oh, mere, trifle.

What I miss most is my dinner.

You suppose someone's looking for us?

I wouldn't be surprised.

But I would be if they found us.

Hey, what are you doin' in here?

Uh, nothing, nothing at all.

I'm on my way to the club car.

- No, you don't. Out this way. - Uh..

There's still some steam in that boiler.

If, uh, someone could get to the whistle.

How about it, Doc? Might make up for a lot of things.

What do you mean by that?

Oh, few items I've noticed.

That, that gun under your vest.

Little things people have said.

I thought you might be having a twinge of conscience.

Are you implying that I have something to do with all this?

- Yes. - Oh.

Look Bart Maverick's a good friend of mine

and I kinda thought he was yours too.

I'm not gonna let Hoad hurt him if that's what you mean.

'Mr. Radcliffe.'

Found this guy in the baggage car fooling with the safe.

Really?

And who are you?

My name is Maverick, Bart Maverick.

Well, Mr. Maverick, perhaps you can help me.

I seem to have lost a bit of money.

Did you look in all your pockets?

That's a very good question. Yes, I did.

Now, let me ask you one.

Would you rather be poor and alive..

'...or rich and dead?'

- It's in the safe. - 'The safe?'

- I just put it back. - How tidy.

Mr. Radcliffe, I didn't steal that money in the first place.

- I found it in... - 'Please, Mr. Maverick.'

This is growing rather confusing.

You say the money is in the safe now?

I'll stake my life on it.

You just have.

Keep him here.

Uh, Miss Blaine..

Isn't it rather late for a young lady to be out alone?

Well, I-I-I was just...

And carrying such a heavy burden too.

I could scream, you know.

But I won't.

Well, what I mean is that we..

...well, there's no reason why we couldn't be friends.

There's lots of reasons why we should.

Well, I knew I could trust you.

From the moment you came aboard..

...well, I, I sort of admired you.

Thank you.

Yes, Bart has told me so many ni..

...nice things about you.

That does it!

Mr. Maverick, your little joke has gone too far.

- What? - I was a gentleman about this.

But you're imposing upon my good nature.

You mean the money...

Is not, of course, where you said it was.

But...

Now, Mr. Maverick

would you care to tell me where you put it?

I swear to you I put that money in the safe myself.

You force me to make an example.

- Hmm? - Take him over to that tree.

Now, wait a minute. You're making a mistake.

I don't have the money. I don't even want the money. I..

Don't do it, Radcliffe.

If Maverick says he hasn't got the money, he hasn't got it.

Then who has?

You know, don't you, Mr. Maverick?

But you won't tell.

Very well then.

Blow that whistle.

There's someone in that cab. Get him!

'Blow that whistle!'

The train.

That's it.

Up ahead.

No, it's over that way.

It sounded to me like it was over there.

- Where? - There!

Hardesty, you are fun. Now, come on, let's move.

Get down before you get your pretty little head blown off.

Thanks, Jim.

I think I got the answer.

Uh-uh. It's the least we can do.

Excuse me.

I guess you'll be needing this.

Uh-huh. I thought so.

The girl took the money, didn't she?

Well, it's back now. No need to get excited.

Perhaps you're right.

At least you can pay me what you owe me now.

Uh, Bart, what were you gonna tell me?

Just that I finally figured out how Mr. Sprague lost the bet.

Lost it?

The bet was whether or not

this train crosses the state line at midnight.

- That's right. - And there were no exceptions.

Good, because we crossed it.

Remember I was telling you I thought pappy sold stock

in the Golden Eagle mine?

There was something I forgot, but it finally came to me.

This mine was incorporated in the state of Nebraska.

- Not Kansas. - Are you sure?

The railroad runs along north border all the way to Colorado.

Which means that when Radcliffe shunted us off of the main line

he actually took us across the state line.

I don't believe it.

Ha ha. Sprague.

I, uh, found this outside, Mr. Sprague.

Which means that your job is completed too

'so I claim diplomatic immunity.'

Thanks, Jim.

We couldn't bear thinking of you walking

all that way by yourself.

No, after all that, it just wouldn't be right.

Well, it was all our fault.

Uh, the $10,000 that Brady just gave me would have nothing

to do with your friendship.

It just might have helped hasten the decision.

Yes, indeed.

Shall we?
