00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:05,366
There's an innocent man
serving life for that job...
2
00:00:05,539 --> 00:00:07,132
...and you're gonna get him out.
3
00:00:08,041 --> 00:00:09,770
I wouldn't try.

capital of the world.

Produced for television

BRET: My name is Maverick.
Named after my pappy.
7
00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:21,440
He's the man who said:
8
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:25,347
"Hell has no fury like a man who loses
with four of a kind."
9
00:01:25,886 --> 00:01:28,981
One of these friendly fellas
had the four of a kind.

[GUNSHOTS]
11
00:01:49,977 --> 00:01:51,706
Where did that shot come from?

[GUNSHOTS]
13
00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:07,988
Get out of here.

[GUN COCKS]
15
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:25,175
Oh, easy, easy.
16
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:30,348
You wouldn't wanna go shooting me now.
17
00:02:30,517 --> 00:02:33,077
- After I saved your life.
- I'm sorry.
18
00:02:33,253 --> 00:02:35,585
They left me just a wee bit nervous.
19
00:02:35,756 --> 00:02:39,920
- Where did you drop from?
- Nice little ledge about 10 feet up.
20
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:42,687
I was there waiting for the stage,
lucky for you.
21
00:02:42,863 --> 00:02:44,627
Yes, indeed.
22
00:02:44,798 --> 00:02:46,664
You look kind of beat.
23
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:49,526
Here, take a pull on this.
24
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:51,137
Well, thanks.
25
00:02:58,979 --> 00:03:01,277
That's a funny place to wait for a stage.
26
00:03:01,448 --> 00:03:03,212
As good as any.
27
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:06,114
I'm kind of glad you came along.
28
00:03:06,286 --> 00:03:10,416
Of course I could've handled this job
by myself, but it's a lot more fun with two.
29
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:12,786
- Job?
- Hold up the stage.
30
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:14,518
Oh, you wanna smoke?
31
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:16,527
- Here.
- Thanks.
32
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:18,461
You know, when I was a boy...
33
00:03:18,632 --> 00:03:23,069
...I always wanted to rob a stage. Somehow
or another, I never got around to it.
34
00:03:24,905 --> 00:03:27,806
I hope this is not gonna be
too big a disappointment to you...
35
00:03:27,974 --> 00:03:30,739
...but I'm just an ordinary
law-abiding citizen.
36
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:32,470
Oh.
37
00:03:32,646 --> 00:03:34,671
What were you doing teasing
that posse then?
38
00:03:34,848 --> 00:03:37,010
It wasn't a posse, friend.
39
00:03:37,184 --> 00:03:40,279
That was a passel
of very disappointed poker players.
40
00:03:40,454 --> 00:03:42,980
One of the hazards
to my profession, mister...
41
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:47,223
- Dolan. Lefty Dolan.
- I'm Bret Maverick.
42
00:03:47,928 --> 00:03:49,828
Well, I'm disappointed, Mr. Maverick.
43
00:03:49,996 --> 00:03:52,624
Here I figured
you'd at least robbed a bank or something.
44
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:54,631
Turns out you're only
a tin-horn gambler.
45
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:58,135
- Well, we can't all rob banks.
- That's true enough.
46
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:04,541
Our society is unevenly divided between
the criminal and non-criminal classes.
47
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:08,405
Me? I'm about as uneven as you can get.
48
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:12,519
- Any criticisms, Mr. Maverick?
- No.
49
00:04:12,686 --> 00:04:15,348
I never criticize a man who saved my life.
50
00:04:15,522 --> 00:04:17,786
And I never rob a man whose life I save.
51
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:22,986
Even when I know he's carrying
the winnings of a big poker match.
52
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:25,198
And I don't even own a horse.
53
00:04:25,665 --> 00:04:27,394
Neither do I now.
54
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:31,026
Own a horse.
I still have the winnings.
55
00:04:31,872 --> 00:04:35,604
- Would you mind if I made a suggestion?
- Ah, let me make it.
56
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:38,902
Half of the money I've got
is yours, you've earned it.
57
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,844
No, that's no good either.
58
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:44,578
Tell you what.
59
00:04:44,751 --> 00:04:46,515
You stake me the $30 cash...
60
00:04:46,686 --> 00:04:49,986
...with the promise of a good horse
and new outfit at the end of the line.
61
00:04:50,157 --> 00:04:52,854
And I'll buy my passage
on that stage like a good citizen.
62
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:56,190
Mr. Dolan, you've got yourself a deal.
63
00:04:56,363 --> 00:04:59,697
Now, I hope I bring you as much luck
as you've brought me.
64
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,802
I don't bring many people luck,
Mr. Maverick.

Ho, ho!
66
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:33,263
Gents, if you're holding me up,
you're sure gonna be disappointed.
67
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:35,524
Us, hold you up?
68
00:05:35,702 --> 00:05:39,263
- Do we look like road agents?
- Well, who don't?
69
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:41,965
See, I've been robbed doing this run
so many times...
70
00:05:42,142 --> 00:05:44,110
...half the time I'm driving empty.
71
00:05:44,277 --> 00:05:48,111
Just like right now. Nobody is aboard
and ain't nothing for you to take.
72
00:05:48,448 --> 00:05:50,416
Why, it never entered our heads.
73
00:05:50,584 --> 00:05:52,450
We just want to buy passage, is all.
74
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:56,618
You mean-- You mean paying customers?
75
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:59,259
Well, sure, of course.
76
00:05:59,626 --> 00:06:03,859
Get in. Yes, sirree.
This will be a pleasure.
77
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:10,299
Yes, sirree. Company, by gingo.
Get right in there.

00:06:28,989 --> 00:06:31,014
Hyah! Hyah!
80
00:06:35,795 --> 00:06:38,821

looks like another hold-up.
81
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:40,467
Keep going!
82
00:06:40,634 --> 00:06:43,660
I can't afford to get killed.
I'm running for mayor next month.
83
00:06:44,170 --> 00:06:47,105
Talk about luck.
This could've been us holding us up.
84
00:06:47,274 --> 00:06:49,800
We wouldn't have gotten anything.
Nobody'd be in here.
85
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:56,310
Ho, ho!
86
00:06:57,884 --> 00:07:00,353
There goes my new horse and outfit.
87
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,217
As soon as we stop, you step outside.
You're alone, see.
88
00:07:03,390 --> 00:07:06,291
- Why take the chance?
- Step outside.

- Afraid so.

Uh, no, not so slim.
Carrying enough money for six men.
93
00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:29,281
Matter of fact, it used to belong
to six men.
94
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:32,350
- Thief or gambler?
- Gambler.
95
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:34,487
Well, your luck's run out.
96
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:36,748
Drop your gun belt.
97
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:42,587
Take a look in the coach.
98
00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:57,404
- Driver, you got some rope?
- Yes, sir.
99
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,844
Well, come down here and tie him up.
100
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:01,947
You may be mayor yet.
101
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:16,691
Good thing, we didn't hold it up,
huh, Maverick?

- Now, look what happened.
- Lefty, I'll get you to the doctor.

-...but I saved your hide this morning.
- You did that.

00:08:36,383 --> 00:08:38,613
Surest thing you know,
but don't talk now.
109
00:08:38,785 --> 00:08:40,617
I got to.

Five years ago, Dry Springs, Arizona...
112
00:08:49,029 --> 00:08:51,862
-...four of us robbed a bank.
- Yeah, Lefty?
113
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:55,568
The bank teller was killed.
114
00:08:57,070 --> 00:09:01,007
A little while later, a man was arrested.
115
00:09:01,174 --> 00:09:02,335
Convicted.

An innocent man...
117
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:08,740
...mistaken for me.
118
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:12,978
I did a lot of rotten things in my life.
119
00:09:13,153 --> 00:09:16,453
But this is the only one
I could never forget.

I wanted you to hear something.

Jedd Ferris.
125
00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:32,934
I never saw him.
126
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:36,371
But I want you to promise me
you'll get him out.
127
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:38,570
Promise.
128
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:42,712
I'll do what I can, Lefty.
129
00:09:43,316 --> 00:09:44,875
Who was with you?
130
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:50,617
Don't ask question like that
at time like this.
131
00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:55,624
DRIVER:
What you want me to hear, mister?
132
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:58,557
It doesn't matter now.

BRET: "I'll do what I can."
That's what I told Lefty before he died.
135
00:10:10,643 --> 00:10:13,169
But what could I do? Nothing.
136
00:10:13,346 --> 00:10:15,940
That's what I kept telling myself.
137
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:18,213
You betting?

BRET:
But Lefty Dolan, wherever he was now...
139
00:10:21,154 --> 00:10:23,452
...kept telling me different.
140
00:10:24,891 --> 00:10:27,223
He's out. What do you got?
141
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:30,396
My hope, and this is all: two kings.

00:10:30,563 --> 00:10:31,587
Ahh...

00:10:31,764 --> 00:10:34,096
My two little pair takes it.
144
00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:36,893
You took two cards.
145
00:10:37,070 --> 00:10:39,767
- Holding a kicker, huh?
- Nope.
146
00:10:39,939 --> 00:10:41,703

Three nines. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Poker my friend is a game
that requires concentration.
149

Oh, do stick around.
150
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:57,253
Sorry, something I got to do
before I go broke.

BRET: it was a long time later
that I paid a visit to Jedd Ferris.
152
00:11:04,063 --> 00:11:07,556
And in the meantime,
I really had done all I could do.
153

155
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:18,439
Yeah, that's me.
156
00:11:18,611 --> 00:11:21,342
- Who are you?
- I'm Bret Maverick.
157
00:11:25,118 --> 00:11:28,452
Oh, Mr. Maverick,
since you've come to see me...
158
00:11:28,621 --> 00:11:31,750
...and I've never heard of you,
you must be bringing news.
159
00:11:31,925 --> 00:11:33,359
Bad as usual?
160
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:36,295
Well, I wish I could say
you were wrong, but...
161
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:39,762
In way, you are. It's just that
I know, you're innocent...
162
00:11:39,933 --> 00:11:41,560
...but I can't prove it.
163
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:46,597
Mr. Maverick, four reputable citizens
swore they saw me in that bank.
164
00:11:46,773 --> 00:11:48,798
Now, how do you know I'm innocent?
165
00:11:48,975 --> 00:11:53,811
Because I was told so by the man you
were mistaken for just before he died.
166
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,975
But that changes everything.
167
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:58,777
This is what I've dreamed of.
They've got to let me out now.
168
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:02,013
Word of a dead man just doesn't seem
to count. I've found that out.
169
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:05,520
Then why did you come here?
170
00:12:05,692 --> 00:12:07,751
Just to torture me
with a moment's hope?
171
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:09,656
I'm sorry I came.
172
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:13,766
I'm just trying to keep a promise
to the man that told me the story.
173
00:12:14,434 --> 00:12:16,198
Friend of yours, I suppose.
174
00:12:16,836 --> 00:12:18,804
I only met him once.
175
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:24,043
You know,
I've always wondered about him.
176
00:12:24,444 --> 00:12:27,812
- And he really looked like me?
- No.
177
00:12:27,981 --> 00:12:30,712
He's not as tall as you are, for one thing.
178
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:34,519
A man holding a gun always looks tall.
179
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:37,652
And he was left handed, and so am l.
180
00:12:37,824 --> 00:12:39,451
A newcomer in town.
181
00:12:39,626 --> 00:12:41,651
It's enough to hang anybody.
182
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:44,757
They nearly hanged me.
183
00:12:44,931 --> 00:12:48,526
The territorial governor commuted it
to life, and lost a lot of friends.
184
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:51,836
Maybe that explains
why he almost threw me out of his office.
185
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:57,440
- You been to the governor?
- Among others.
186
00:12:58,478 --> 00:13:02,346
Ferris, I'm sorry I came here.
I can just see it makes things worse.
187
00:13:03,816 --> 00:13:05,443
Oh, no.
188
00:13:06,085 --> 00:13:07,985
I'm glad you did.
189
00:13:08,855 --> 00:13:11,119
I know now I'll never get out.
190
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:14,059
But there's somebody who knows.
191
00:13:14,694 --> 00:13:18,187
Not just has faith
but knows I'm innocent.
192
00:13:18,898 --> 00:13:20,889
You can't guess what that means.
193
00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:24,002
- I can imagine.
- No, no, I don't think you can.
194
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:29,166
You see, nobody saw me that day.
I was out mending fence.
195
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:34,105
I sometimes wonder
if even my wife is really sure.
196
00:13:38,051 --> 00:13:41,248
Well, you've gone
to a lot of trouble for me, stranger.
197
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:44,519
Well, I try to do what I can.
198
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,717
- I guess I'd better go.
- Wait a minute.
199
00:13:48,528 --> 00:13:51,896
Would you mind doing just
one thing more?
200
00:13:52,465 --> 00:13:54,763
- Sure.
- Would you...?
201
00:13:55,101 --> 00:13:58,799
Would you call on my wife?
She's still in Dry Springs.
202
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:02,236
That little ranch is all we had
and there were no buyers.
203
00:14:02,575 --> 00:14:05,272
I'd be mightily obliged
if you'd give her a message.
204
00:14:06,212 --> 00:14:10,274
- Oh, sure. I will tell her all about it.
- No, that's just what I don't want you to do.
205
00:14:10,450 --> 00:14:12,612
- What?
- I want you to say just one thing. This:
206
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:16,081
"Mrs. Ferris,
your husband has not changed his mind.
207
00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:19,452
And he wants you to go ahead
and do exactly what he told you to do.
208
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:21,286
He won't take no for an answer."
209
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:23,926
Got that, Maverick?
210
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:25,656
That's all?
211
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:28,263
That's all.
212
00:14:28,434 --> 00:14:30,766
You don't want me to tell her
that I know you're innocent?
213
00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:32,905
I'd like your word you won't do that.
214
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:38,739
All right, if that's the way you want it.
215
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:41,945
Yeah, that's the way I want it.
216
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:45,313
Thank you, Mr. Maverick.
217
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:59,492
BRET:
So there I was...
218
00:14:59,665 --> 00:15:04,569
...playing Good Samaritan again.
This time it had to be the end.
219
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,365
But I still had an uneasy feeling
that Lefty Dolan...
220
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:11,977
...was sitting on a silver cloud somewhere,
putting strings.
221
00:15:15,548 --> 00:15:16,811
Oh, howdy, stranger.
222
00:15:16,983 --> 00:15:19,042
- You looking for Mrs. Ferris?
- Yes, I am.
223
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:21,744
Should be back soon.
She's taking a walk with her pa.
224
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:25,221
- He's kind of poorly. Want to wait?
- Well, I guess I'll have to.
225
00:15:28,895 --> 00:15:30,795
- My name is Bret Maverick.
- Ben Maxwell.
226
00:15:30,963 --> 00:15:32,829
I'm own the spread just north of here.
227
00:15:32,999 --> 00:15:36,299
- Say, mind giving a hand with this board?
- All right, sure.
228
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,837
Whole place is practically falling down.
229
00:15:40,006 --> 00:15:43,203
She and her pa can't take care of it,
seeing as how he's sick and all.
230
00:15:43,376 --> 00:15:46,004
- Well, you're being quite a help.
- Well, somebody has to.
231
00:15:46,179 --> 00:15:49,308
- Are you a friend of Martha's?
- No, I'm just delivering a message.
232
00:15:49,482 --> 00:15:52,179
- Well, you can leave it with me, if you like.
- It's kind of personal.
233
00:15:52,351 --> 00:15:54,012
Oh.
234
00:15:56,556 --> 00:15:57,990
Oh, howdy, Martha?
235
00:15:59,025 --> 00:16:00,220
Look what I got for you:
236
00:16:00,393 --> 00:16:03,920
Mysterious stranger named Maverick
bearing a message.
237
00:16:04,096 --> 00:16:07,031
- Your pa feeling better?
- Yes, he's lying down.
238
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,760
How do you do, Mr. Maverick?
I'm Martha Ferris.
239
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,093
You have a message?
240
00:16:12,271 --> 00:16:14,603
Is it from my husband?
241
00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:17,509
Well, yes, ma'am,
something he wanted me to tell you.
242
00:16:18,377 --> 00:16:20,072
Won't you come into the house?
243
00:16:20,246 --> 00:16:22,578
- I'll tie your horse for you.
- I'll fix you coffee.
244
00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:24,113
You must stay for supper.
245
00:16:24,283 --> 00:16:29,050
BRET: Well, I don't think I have time to stay
for supper but coffee sure sounds fine.
246
00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:37,754
Sit down, Mr. Maverick.
I've got some right on the stove.
247
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:44,626
- You like cream and sugar?
- No, ma'am, hot and black.
248
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:55,172
- Just right.
- Won't you sit down?
249
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:04,017
How is Jedd? They don't let me
see him as often as I'd like.
250
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:05,817
He looked just fine to me.
251
00:17:05,992 --> 00:17:08,393
Is there any news,
any hope of his getting out?
252
00:17:09,495 --> 00:17:10,929
I'm afraid there isn't.
253
00:17:17,803 --> 00:17:19,032
I...
254
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,298
I thought that might be the message.
255
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:24,669
No, ma'am.
256
00:17:25,144 --> 00:17:26,942
He asked me to tell you this.
257
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:30,373
He hasn't changed his mind.
258
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:34,214
And he wants you to go right ahead
and do exactly what he told you to do.
259
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:37,482
And he won't take no for an answer.
260
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,052
- That was all?
- Yes, ma'am.
261
00:18:01,781 --> 00:18:04,113
Thank you, Mr. Maverick,
very much.
262
00:18:04,550 --> 00:18:06,609
I wish it could have been better news.
263
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:09,551
Forgive me for asking, but...
264
00:18:09,722 --> 00:18:13,352
Well, anything to do with my husband
is terribly important to me.
265
00:18:13,526 --> 00:18:14,823
Do you know him well?
266
00:18:16,028 --> 00:18:17,496
No, I only met him once.
267
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,331
Just once
and he gave you that message?
268
00:18:23,502 --> 00:18:25,436
I don't understand.
269
00:18:27,306 --> 00:18:30,071
I mean, were you in prison with him?
270
00:18:30,242 --> 00:18:33,143
- No, ma'am.
- Well, then you must have visited him?
271
00:18:33,479 --> 00:18:35,311
You must have had a reason.
272
00:18:35,481 --> 00:18:37,540
They don't let just any--
273
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:38,912
Well...
274
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:42,115
See, they think he's a murderer.
275
00:18:44,056 --> 00:18:46,047
Why did you visit him, Mr. Maverick?
276
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:48,282
I can't tell you that, ma'am.
277
00:18:52,264 --> 00:18:54,528
You know something about this case,
don't you?
278
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:57,397
- Very little.
- But you do know something.
279
00:18:58,237 --> 00:19:01,138
Please tell me.
ls there any hope for him?
280
00:19:02,174 --> 00:19:04,541
I told you, I'm afraid there isn't.
281
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:07,376
But he's innocent.
282
00:19:11,050 --> 00:19:13,485
You know he's innocent, don't you?
283
00:19:13,653 --> 00:19:15,712
I just feel it, but you know it.
284
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:22,424
Mrs. Ferris...
285
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:27,094
...I'm afraid there is nothing more I can say.
I've given you the message.
286
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:30,725
- Did he tell you what it means?
- No.
287
00:19:32,471 --> 00:19:34,405
Then I'll tell you.
288
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:41,907
He wants me to get a divorce
and remarry.
289
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:48,547
I can understand that,
he's in prison for life.
290
00:19:48,721 --> 00:19:51,520
Can't look after you anymore.
291
00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:57,525
It's the last thing he could do for you,
and the last thing that you could do for him.
292
00:19:58,831 --> 00:20:00,697
I won't do it.
293
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:05,338
Someday, they'll find out the truth
and he will be free.
294
00:20:05,504 --> 00:20:08,303
Mrs. Ferris, I wouldn't wait for that.
295
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:15,681
I'm going to wait.
296
00:20:16,449 --> 00:20:18,008
I'm sorry.
297
00:20:18,184 --> 00:20:19,709
Good bye.
298
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:36,866
BEN: Maverick?
- Yeah.
299
00:20:40,506 --> 00:20:42,634
You, uh, got news of Ferris?
300
00:20:42,808 --> 00:20:45,903
- I told you, it was personal.
- No, I didn't mean to pry into that.
301
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:48,843
I was just hoping that you had news
about him getting out maybe.
302
00:20:49,014 --> 00:20:51,108
- You're hoping?
- Well, that's the only way...
303
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:52,978
...I'll ever stand a chance with her.
304
00:20:53,152 --> 00:20:55,746
As long as he's in prison,
she'll never turn her back on him.
305
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:58,151
I think you're right
on that last point, anyhow.
306
00:20:58,324 --> 00:21:00,622
I know I'm right.
I know her real well by now.
307
00:21:00,793 --> 00:21:02,955
This is worse than fighting a ghost.
308
00:21:03,129 --> 00:21:05,996
But if he got let out,
well, he is only human.
309
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,429
I might have a better chance
against him then.
310
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,933
I'd call it a pretty slim chance.
311
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:14,403
Yeah, they will never let him out.
Whole world knows he's guilty.
312
00:21:14,573 --> 00:21:16,268
Well, no. No, he's not guilty.
313
00:21:16,675 --> 00:21:19,736
- What? But four people saw him.
- They were wrong.
314
00:21:19,912 --> 00:21:21,710
It's happened before.
315
00:21:22,248 --> 00:21:23,511
What makes you so sure?
316
00:21:24,316 --> 00:21:25,909
Well, I can't say.
317
00:21:26,085 --> 00:21:29,180
But it doesn't make any difference.
I can't do anything about it.
318
00:21:29,355 --> 00:21:31,517
That's too bad.
319
00:21:31,690 --> 00:21:34,284
- You move around a lot, don't you?
- Quite a lot.
320
00:21:34,527 --> 00:21:37,360
If you ever hear anything
and there is anything I can ever do...
321
00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:39,999
...to help Jedd Ferris get out of prison,
remember me.
322
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:41,827
Ben Maxwell. Will you do that?
323
00:21:42,201 --> 00:21:43,327
- I'll do that.
- Right.
324
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:46,870
Oh, uh, before you go,
would you help me place this timber?
325
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:48,268
Sure thing.
326
00:21:55,214 --> 00:21:57,842
Always happy to help out.
327
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:01,681
[BRET GRUNTS]
328
00:22:05,424 --> 00:22:09,452
BRET: Well, I got away from there
with nothing worse than a broken arm.
329
00:22:09,628 --> 00:22:12,097
But I was wondering,
if the ghost of Lefty Dolan...
330
00:22:12,264 --> 00:22:14,130
...hadn't hit me with that board...
331
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,600
...just for thinking
I'd done enough to settle our account.
332
00:22:18,804 --> 00:22:22,399
Because Lefty wasn't going to let me
forget that promise.
333
00:22:22,575 --> 00:22:24,873
Two months later, 200 miles away...
334
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,476
...he nudged me again...
335
00:22:27,646 --> 00:22:30,707
...as sharp as if he'd been sitting
by my side.
336
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:33,311
Three Kings.
337
00:22:35,054 --> 00:22:36,886
MAN: John?
- I'm busted, James.

- Sorry to hear that.

- Anybody else care to sit in?
- I'll take a whirl.

- Oh, you can complain, all right.

347
00:23:07,686 --> 00:23:10,155
Hey, Rex, look at that left-handed deal.
348
00:23:12,524 --> 00:23:16,825
- Remind you of anyone?
- Yeah. Only Dolan dealt them faster.
349

BRET:
Here he was again, Lefty Dolan.
350
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:23,961
Both these men had known him,
maybe the whole story.
351
00:23:24,136 --> 00:23:27,538
It looked like he was out to haunt me
for the rest of my life.
352
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:30,341
I had to have a tittie private talk
with these boys.
353
00:23:30,509 --> 00:23:33,137
And I figured I'll get farther
if I got one of them alone.
354
00:23:33,545 --> 00:23:35,479
But that wasn't easy to arrange.
355
00:23:35,648 --> 00:23:37,878
They were partners,
sharing the same hotel room...
356
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:43,284
...and they were leaving town
in the morning. I had to separate them. Now.
357
00:23:43,856 --> 00:23:45,824
I'll take three cards.
358
00:23:48,727 --> 00:23:50,957
Four hours later came a crucial hand.
359
00:23:51,130 --> 00:23:52,655
The game was stud.
360
00:23:52,831 --> 00:23:56,859
On the last round dealt
only Rex, Whitey and I were left.
361
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:01,931
Rex had two 10s showing.
362
00:24:02,508 --> 00:24:04,704
Whitey had a pair of eights.
363
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:06,878
I had two queens.
364
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,173
Three pair showing.
Not bad for a round of stud.
365
00:24:12,051 --> 00:24:16,887
BRET: I had been playing poker with
Rex for a week and I was sure of one thing:
366
00:24:17,423 --> 00:24:19,983
On the way he had bet the hand so far...
367
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:23,254
...he wasn't bluffing,
he had the third 10.
368
00:24:24,363 --> 00:24:26,422
And I was equally sure of Whitey.
369
00:24:26,598 --> 00:24:28,692
He had the third eight.
370
00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:34,636
And the thing I was sure about of all
was that I had the third queen.
371
00:24:34,807 --> 00:24:38,209
That made it my pot,
but I didn't want to win it.
372
00:24:38,377 --> 00:24:39,742
They might both quit and go home...
373
00:24:39,912 --> 00:24:43,405
...and I'd have no chance
for a nice private chat about Lefty Dolan.
374
00:24:43,816 --> 00:24:46,547
And yet, if I just dropped out...
375
00:24:46,719 --> 00:24:48,414
...then Rex would take the pot...
376
00:24:48,587 --> 00:24:50,851
...after I had been working
all night to bust him.
377
00:24:51,023 --> 00:24:54,584
That would put him back in business,
the game might go on till morning.
378
00:24:55,694 --> 00:24:58,994
Somehow, I had to throw
the pot to Whitey...
379
00:24:59,431 --> 00:25:01,832
...who had the weakest hand of all.
380
00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:06,268
I'll check it to you, Rex.
381
00:25:07,439 --> 00:25:08,907
Being real cute, aren't you?
382
00:25:09,575 --> 00:25:11,907
Kind of make me believe
you got that third queen.

00:25:12,077 --> 00:25:14,102
You know something,
I don't think you have.
384
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:16,543
I know I got three 10s.
385
00:25:16,715 --> 00:25:19,013
So I'll just bet $200.
386
00:25:19,618 --> 00:25:23,213
You're a real good bluffer, Rex.
One of the best.

- Think so?
- I think so.

389
00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:30,860
I think so too.
390
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:34,898
I'll just see you that,
and raise another 200.
391
00:25:38,704 --> 00:25:41,799
Well, come on, come on,
better drop.
392
00:25:41,974 --> 00:25:45,433
And if you bet,
better have the right hold card.
393
00:25:45,611 --> 00:25:48,342
Oh, I have, Rex. What'd you think?
394
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,982
There's your 200, Rex.
395
00:25:52,451 --> 00:25:54,715
And there's yours, Whitey.
396

...two hundred more.

As you say, "bet or drop."

It's gonna cost you 400 dollars
to see my third queen.

and lost the game I was after.

00:32:49,201 --> 00:32:53,729
Your gun is a .45, so was the dead man's.

00:32:53,905 --> 00:32:56,533
And he was killed with a .45.
505
00:32:56,708 --> 00:33:02,340
Suppose I was to tell you
that the third gun, this Whitey's, was a 38.
506
00:33:11,790 --> 00:33:13,986
Then I'd say I killed him.

- Sure.

- No, not exactly.
- Well, never mind that. It doesn't matter.
510

So the third gun wasn't a .38.
511
00:33:25,036 --> 00:33:27,869
- What?
- I was just supposing that, remember?

No. All the bullets...

Forty-five.

Well, then maybe one of them
was Whitey's bullet.

for sure. You don't know yourself.

00:43:43,054 --> 00:43:45,580
- And puts me right in the middle of it?
- That's right.
665
00:43:45,756 --> 00:43:47,884
What makes you think I would sign that?
666
00:43:48,059 --> 00:43:50,153
So you can get on your horse
and ride for the border.
667
00:43:50,328 --> 00:43:53,923
Heh, I ain't signing nothing.
They'll never prove that job on me.
668
00:43:54,398 --> 00:43:58,096
Maybe not.
But there's another matter.
669
00:43:58,269 --> 00:43:59,759
Your friend Rex died, you know.
670
00:43:59,937 --> 00:44:02,235
- I'll never kill Rex.
- Oh, yes you did.
671
00:44:02,406 --> 00:44:04,397
Who's gonna prove it?
You were shooting too.
672
00:44:04,575 --> 00:44:09,445
But I was using a .38. Rex was killed with
a .45. At least that's what the sheriff said.
673
00:44:09,614 --> 00:44:11,810
That's why he let me go
and he's looking for you.
674
00:44:11,983 --> 00:44:14,953
- It's a .45 you're holding now.
- It's a different gun.
675
00:44:15,319 --> 00:44:17,913
Sheriff took the other one,
part of the evidence.
676
00:44:18,189 --> 00:44:20,590
And I've got the rest of it right here.
677
00:44:20,758 --> 00:44:22,590
Your gun and you.
678
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:26,631
You know, there's two sheriffs
looking for you, Whitey.
679
00:44:26,931 --> 00:44:30,026
Mrs. Ferris is on way her way here
right now with the local one.
680
00:44:30,201 --> 00:44:32,295
So you haven't got much time.
681
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:36,599
Give me the paper.
682
00:44:47,985 --> 00:44:51,819
Hunker down in that corner over there
before you strike that match.
683
00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:11,269
[WHITEY GRUNTS]
684
00:45:13,110 --> 00:45:17,411
Now, you forget about the matches.
I'll tell you what it's says:
685
00:45:17,582 --> 00:45:23,885
"I, the undersigned, helped rob the bank
at Dry Springs on May 8, 1872.
686
00:45:24,055 --> 00:45:27,252
[PANTING]
The four men who did the job...
687
00:45:27,592 --> 00:45:31,051
...are Whitey Brandon, Rex Clark,
Lefty Dolan and Ben Maxwell...
688
00:45:31,229 --> 00:45:35,359
...who owns the Rock and Star ranch
outside of Dry Springs.
689
00:45:35,533 --> 00:45:37,968
And Jedd Ferris
didn't have anything to do with it."
690
00:45:39,971 --> 00:45:43,464
Now here is a pencil.
Write your name.
691
00:45:48,012 --> 00:45:49,104
BEN:
Hold it, Maverick.
692
00:45:51,015 --> 00:45:52,813
Step away from him, Whitey.
693
00:45:58,789 --> 00:46:00,154
Don't move.
694
00:46:03,828 --> 00:46:04,954
Up.
695
00:46:07,398 --> 00:46:09,298
[BRET GRUNTS]
696
00:46:11,636 --> 00:46:13,229
Sorry I have to do that.
697
00:46:13,404 --> 00:46:15,668
It'll look much better
if you're killed with Whitey's gun.
698
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,239
[GUNSHOT]
699
00:46:22,980 --> 00:46:24,414
SHERIFF:
All right, boys, stay back.
700
00:46:24,582 --> 00:46:26,983
This is the sheriff.
Everything is under control.
701
00:46:29,020 --> 00:46:32,183
- You made good time.
- Did he sign?
702
00:46:32,356 --> 00:46:35,291
- No, Ben shot him first.
BEN: Right.
703
00:46:37,061 --> 00:46:38,085
- Ben.
- Right.
704
00:46:41,666 --> 00:46:44,033
[BEN GRUNTING]
705
00:46:52,510 --> 00:46:54,740
It's the paper.
He wants the paper.
706
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:17,293
[GROANS]
707
00:47:23,774 --> 00:47:25,208
Thank you, Ben.
708
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:47,525
BRET: Two months later,
Jedd Ferris came home to stay.
709
00:47:55,539 --> 00:47:58,372
And it had taken almost a year
out of my life, off and on.
710
00:47:58,542 --> 00:48:01,068
But now it finally seemed worth it.
711
00:48:03,013 --> 00:48:07,314
Well, how about it, Lefty?
Will you leave me alone now?
712
00:48:09,754 --> 00:48:13,019
Well, there weren't any
lightning flashes of thunderbolt...
713
00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:15,386
...so I guess it was all over now.
714
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:18,085
And I was firmly reminding myself
of one of the last...
715
00:48:18,262 --> 00:48:21,129
...and most important things
my pappy ever told me:
716
00:48:21,298 --> 00:48:26,293
"Love your fellow man.
Stay out of his troubles, if you can."
