Original subtitles

Send out tall one with yellow coat

and we go away.

You get up.

Ain't you gonna give him a chance?

We wouldn't be hold up in here like rats

now if it wasn't for him.

He's getting a better chance than he deserves.

Hurry pa, they getting ready.

[Mart] You can have him!

"Maverick..."

...starring James Garner...

...produced by Warner Bros.

From the entertainment capital of the world

produced for television by Warner Bros.

You might as well stop skulking around back there, Fallon.

There's plenty of coffee here for all of us.

Should we all put our guns away?

I've known you been following me

since the first day.

Then you had plenty of time to think about it.

You know what we want.

Sure.

That's why I been leading you away from the claim.

We been making one big circle.

Stay where you are.

You're gonna take us to that claim.

Am I?

You got three guns on me.

But this is a double-barreled shotgun

and before I hit the ground, it'll get all three of you.

You see, I've got a big advantage.

If you killed me, what would you have?

Nothing.

We'll argue that point later.

Right now you put that gun down.

- And fast. - I don't think so.

You're gonna get on your horses and ride off.

You might be able to kill all three of us

with that scatter gun you got there.

But before you fire that second barrel

you'd have at least three bullets in you.

I don't think you wanna die.

Nobody wants to die.

But you're not giving me any choice.

Sure we are Sam.

All you have to do is drop that shotgun.

And you're going to.

- Watch it now Wes, watch it. - Shut up.

We don't wanna kill you Harris.

We don't want the whole mine neither.

We just want you to cut us in for a piece.

You gonna need some help anyway.

It'd be different if that mine belonged to you

but it don't, it belongs to Indians.

So, none of us got any right up here.

But I found it...

...and I'm gonna keep it.

I don't need any help.

I'm gonna count to three.

If you haven't dropped that gun

I'm gonna drop you.

One...

I'm not bluffing.

We'll know in a couple of seconds.

Two...

You didn't have to kill him, Wes.

He would have killed me.

Ain't that right, pa?

That leaves you Matson.

I haven't ever been to the mine.

Well, you were his partner.

He certainly must have told you where it was.

He was taking me there for the first time.

He didn't tell me nothing.

Well, that's too bad.

You just seen enough to hang us all.

We might forget that if we had a good enough reason.

Wait. I swear I don't know where the mine is.

But I know something just as good

it'll get you there.

What's that?

[Matson] At the pack saddle station.

Someone's coming in on the stage

five days from now.

Someone who knows as much as Sam Harris.

But, you need me there.

Who's coming in?

I'm not gonna tell you anymore.

I'll wind up the way Harris did.

He's stalling, pa.

I'll tell you anything you want to know

when the stage comes in.

But not before then.

I can get it out of him now, pa.

No, another dead man ain't gonna get for us.

You got something to trade? Alright, we'll trade.

But if you're bluffing, you're gonna wish

you got it just as quick as your partner did.

You give me a chance, you won't be sorry.

We'll see.

Get your horse.

- Rip. - Yeah?

When I go back inside

you wait half a minute or so, then come in after me.

And say the stage is coming.

What are you gonna do, pa?

You'll find out when you get inside.

Now do like I say.

And make it sound right.

Got a lot of food here if you fellers feel hungry.

No, thanks.

Stage is coming, pa.

I spotted the dust up on top of Pine Hill.

They're early today.

I better be getting them their horses ready.

The stage is practically here. You tell us now.

I said I'd tell ya when it got here.

That could be too late, mister.

Once it's in, this place will be crawling with passengers.

You could go back on the deal and start yelling for help.

What's to keep me alive

after I've told you what you want to know.

But we're not killers.

You got a short memory.

Harris would still be alive

if he hadn't tried to use that shotgun.

Now, you said we need ya.

If that's so, what you so worried about?

What are we haggling for?

You tell us, mister, and you tell us now.

You sit down, Wes!

Now look at this thing logically.

You don't really think that we'd take

a chance on killing you with the stage

just a few minutes out, do ya?

You got a lot better sense than that.

Alright.

Harris wrote to his wife in Boston.

He told her to meet him here.

He sent her a map of the claim

in case anything happened to him.

She'll be on the stage.

And she know you?

- Yes. - You're a liar!

Now you get out of here before that stage shows up.

Shouldn't we keep him here until we find out

he's telling the truth?

He told the truth. Now get going!

You lousy butcher! If you weren't my brother

I'd kick you right where you stand.

You mean you thought we were gonna let him go?

You take it easy, Rip!

Matson could've stopped that stage

before it got here, and before you knew it

this place could've been full of lawmen.

Now, let's get him on a horse and dump him in Thorn Canyon.

Whoa.

Get him over there.

Station man's outside. Something I can do for you?

Nope, not a thing.

Just wondering, you seem to be

in a mighty big hurry to get here.

I was. Thanks for your interest, anyway.

Morning!

Got some grub there for the passengers that's coming in.

You can dig in, if you got a mind to.

Thanks.

- Didn't get your name. - It's Maverick.

Hey, you must be waiting for the stage same as the others.

- Oh, is that so? - Yeah.

But they ain't much for conversation.

They thought you was the stage.

Sorry to disappoint 'em.

I don't get much company to talk to

outside of a few skin trappers

or someone heading for the Sioux country.

Hey, nothing drops in here except the agency stage

or a few shade-minded sidewinders.

They make good eating.

Ho!

Grub for everyone inside folks.

Just help yourself.

Look, isn't it pretty nice?

- Mm-hmm. - Nice.

Thank you.

That ain't no way to treat them animals.

They gotta go back on the eastern run

as soon as that other stage gets in.

Yeah, but coming in. I saw

what looked like Sioux tracks.

Maybe a renegade band, so I got out of there fast.

There ain't no Indians

between here and the Black Hills.

And if'n there was that thumb would start aching.

With some folks, it's weather

but with me, it's Indians.

And that ain't never been wrong yet!

Oh, you're just getting old, Simmons.

It's rheumatism that makes it ache, not Indians.

- Mrs. Harris? - Yes.

I'm Mr. Matson, Sam's partner.

He's staying up the mine

and I'm supposed to take you up there.

Oh. But that's not what Sam wrote in his letter.

[Mart] Well, you see, he couldn't leave the mine alone.

it's in Sioux country.

The land belongs to Indians.

Which means the mine ain't legal

in the first place.

Now that kind of situation's

just made-to-order for claim jumpers.

I see.

Now, soon as you're ready

I'll take you there.

But how can you? Sam wrote that

only he knew where the mine was.

Well, fact is

you're supposed to take me with the map he sent you.

Well, if you don't mind, Mr. Matson

I think I'll wait a while.

Just in case Sam changed his mind.

Well, that ain't likely, but suit yourself.

Now just let me know

whenever you're in the mood to go, huh?

- I will. - Thanks ma'am.

Don't know when a morsel of food tasted so good.

It's just delicious!

Just like our southern fried chicken.

It's rattlesnake meat, ma'am.

Rattle...

Oh. Oh!

That's just the way I feel about southern fried chicken.

To each his own.

I was in the restaurant business.

And you can not please them all.

That fella has a familiar look.

Is your friend asleep?

That's right.

Looks like a customer that used to come

into my place in Dodge City.

The man was pure daft about ribs, spare ribs.

He don't like to be waked up

and he's never been to Dodge City.

My mistake.

Alright folks, we're ready to rumble.

- Let it roll! - Hee-ya!

Mrs. Harris, my name is Maverick.

I'm looking after this lady

and I don't think her husband would

want strangers a talking to her.

I don't think Sam Harris cares one way or the other right now.

What do you mean?

Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you this

but your husband's dead.

I buried him two days ago.

You lie.

I ran across Sam four days ago.

Some men had shot him and left him for dead.

I tried to get the bullet out, well...

Well, I did what I could for him.

I hope you see what he's after Mrs. Harris.

Your husband's claim.

You're a little late.

Sam took me to the claim before he died.

He asked me to come here and explain things.

If you're telling the truth, why'd you wait so long to talk?

I just figured I'd let you play out your hand first.

Well, Mrs. Harris

you certainly ain't gonna take a stranger's word

against Sam's partner, are ya?

Why take anyone's word?

Man over there with his hat over his face...

...my guess is, he's Matson.

And I don't think he's asleep.

I think we'd better leave, ma'am.

You're not going anywhere, either one of you.

If you look hard enough, mister

you'll see there's two guns pointing

right at her from underneath this table.

You put that gun down, right now

or she gets shot.

Put it on the bar.

Now for the next act of "Maverick."

- What's going on here? - Where's the hardware, pop.

- You loco? - Where is it?

It's underneath the bar.

Let's get it.

I don't want to inconvenience you any, whiskers

but we got business to transact.

Now, if you just go over and sit by that

water cooler there, you won't get hurt.

Now drag Matson's body over behind the bar

just in case somebody comes in.

Shooting your husband wasn't our idea, ma'am.

He forced it trying to use his shotgun.

Meaning he was trying to keep what was his.

[Wes] You gonna talk yourself right into a box, mister.

That mine didn't belong to your husband, anyway.

It's on Indian land.

From a practical standpoint, the gold is just there

waiting for anybody that wants it.

And we want it.

I'll take that map, Mrs. Harris.

I don't have it.

Mrs. Harris

I'll strip every stitch off of you to get that map.

It's on the stage.

When you told me I was to take you to the mine

I didn't trust you.

I decided then to leave my luggage on the stage.

Rip, go after that stage and don't come back here

without that luggage.

Rip ain't got much stomach for that kind of job.

There's always a chance he might scare off.

You should've sent me, pa, I'd get it.

Yeah, you'dve shot the driver to get it.

And we got enough worries as it is.

I figured that maybe you could save us a lot of trouble.

And you got plenty of that.

Now a man ain't leaving a million dollars

worth of pay dirt without making up

a little map to get him back to it.

You're gonna have to read my mind to find it.

'Cause that's where it is.

Every inch of it, right there.

We'll see about that.

Take off your coat.

How'd you find out about Harris' claim?

Well, everybody knowd it.

He took a chunk of that ore down

to be assayed at Twin Bluffs.

It ran 90 percent.

When he turned down a hundred thousand dollars

for the mine, it went all over town.

Your boots.

You weren't very smart.

Harris knew you were trailing him.

He led you away from the strike.

[Mart] We knew that.

But Harris is dead, and I'm alive.

Now you figure out who's smart.

Alright, your socks.

You're wasting your time.

I got plenty of that.

I sure hope there's no such map

on that stage, Mrs. Harris.

Right now, they're just keeping me around

for insurance.

If that map shows up

just be another case of them having to kill.

Because they were forced into it.

If he does come back with the map

they won't need me either.

They won't need any of us.

You just stopped me from feeling sorry for myself.

Alright, get them off.

- Was she lying? - We'll never know.

What happened?

It was awful, pa, just awful.

What happened, boy?

There wasn't nothing left of that stage.

Just a heap of burning wood and charred bodies.

Well, why in the thunder would--

It was Indians, pa.

And they don't need reasons.

Where'd it happen?

On the other side of Beaver Creek.

Well, it ain't likely they'll be heading this way then.

The best pickings between there and Twin Bluff.

Could be they're heading for your ranch.

They got a spread?

Over a thousand head just east of Twin Bluffs.

Most folks say they had other brands on them first.

A thousand head?

Now why would anyone with a spread that big

want to kill a man over a mine?

Doesn't seem to me like you'd need it.

Well, why don't you answer 'em, pa?

That's a question I been wanting to ask more than once.

You ask it some other time.

Well, maybe I can answer it for ya.

Sure, we got a big spread.

But there isn't anybody in this valley that

doesn't think we're dirt. You've always wanted

to buy that land up above Jackson's place. Why?

So you could cut off his water?

With a gold mine you could do that.

You could get back at Jackson and all the rest of 'em.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Neither does he, pa.

I'm still thinking about those cattle.

With you and your boys away

will make a nice haul for those Indians.

I hear anything they cant carry away, they burn.

[Mart] You'd like for me to forget you and go back

wouldn't you? That's what you'd like

Well he just might be right, pa.

Look, whose side you on little brother?

If you had any sense, you'd know.

If you had any backbone, I'd know.

You didn't like this idea from the start.

Now you want us to give up and run for the ranch.

What's the matter with you?

You didn't have to kill Harris or Matson.

Now stop it! Both of you.

Least you got one boy who can think for himself.

Mister, let's you and me get one thing straight.

Nobody comes between me and my boys.

No matter what happens, we stick together.

He's nothing but trouble, pa.

I should give it to him right now.

- No! - Uh-huh.

Your pa wouldn't like that.

Just happens that I'm the only one

that knows where the mine is now.

Which sort of makes me a privileged character.

That's telling him, mister.

The same privilege don't extend to you.

That's where you're wrong.

Goes for the three of us.

How far is this mine?

Two days, hard riding.

Rip, get all the food in this place together.

I didn't say I was taking you.

Mister, you only got one thing

to bargain with and that's your life.

Now, if you don't take us there, you're gonna lose

the privilege of staying alive.

What about them?

They ain't your problem.

I'm making 'em my problem.

Alright. You take us there, we'll let you all go.

Correction.

You let them go and I'll take you there.

Don't do it, pa.

They'd have a posse after us

as soon as they hit Twin Bluffs.

You don't have to tell me that. You're all going.

The odds against you ever seeing that mine

have just doubled.

Wes... see how they like a slug in that left arm

just to lower them odds a little.

Look at him.

Look at him, pa, he's enjoying it.

Shut up little brother.

Close up all the windows.

Rip, keep 'em off our backs.

How many out there?

It could be all of us against 'em

instead of just the three of you.

I wouldn't give you a gun

if it was looking down my throat.

They are.

Are these the same Indians that burned the stage?

That'd be my guess.

I don't get it, pa.

If they're a raiding party, they would've stolen

the stock and burned the barn by now.

That's what I was thinking.

They're after something.

Yeah, but what?

No matter what happens, I want you to know

I'm grateful for what you tried to do.

Frankly, I thought that...

...getting you out alive would be the easiest part.

I thought you'd be all broken up about losing your husband.

But, you don't exactly act like a grief-stricken widow.

If it's of any interest

I lost my husband four years ago.

The shock has worn off.

I lost him to...

...call it gold fever.

He left us to come out here.

We have a son, Timmy.

He's in Boston with my mother.

Sam was doing it for his son.

He wanted to leave him something.

He did.

He left him without a father.

- They quitting? - I don't know.

No they ain't.

Send out tall one with yellow coat.

We go away.

[Wes] He means him, pa.

Wes... keep your eye on that Indian.

What do they want you for?

You been in the Black Hills.

You ought to know the answer to that.

I want your version.

Did you ever know the Sioux to let

a white man out of their back yard

when they thought he found gold?

And they thought you had, huh?

[Maverick] I didn't ask 'em why they were shooting.

I just kept dropping nuggets hoping that'd slow them down.

They kept right on coming.

And that's why they're out there now.

They wanna make sure you don't take nobody back there.

[Maverick] Well, that's just a piece of it.

I had to kill two of 'em

trying to fight my way out.

They don't take kindly to that.

No, they don't.

They know where the mine is?

I was two hours away before they spotted me.

[Mart] And you knew all the time why they raided that coach.

- They was looking for you. - That's a fair deduction.

And you knew that sooner or later they'd get here.

Nothing's ever certain.

Except where you're concerned.

Pa, they ain't gonna wait much longer.

- You can't send him out there. - He won't.

Right now he thinks more of that gold mine

than he does his own skin.

And I'm his only chance of finding it.

Don't you be too sure.

I told you nothing was for certain.

There are a few things I'll put money on.

Like a straight flush, or a crooked mind.

There's too many of them out there, pa.

We've gone too far now to turn back.

You can't have the white man.

You will all die for yellow coat.

[Wes] We can't hold out forever, pa.

Well, that eastbound stage is gonna be by here soon.

We'll try breaking out then.

Supposed the stage high tails it back to Twin Bluffs

when they hear the shooting?

And suppose they bring back a full posse?

We'd get the same treatment those Indians get.

Yeah. Hey Simmons, what time's that other stage come by?

Psst.

It's worse than an oven.

Well, they got it just as hot out there.

Pa, look!

Give up yellow coat.

You get up.

Ain't you gonna give him a chance?

We wouldn't be hold up in here

like rats now if it wasn't for him.

He's getting a better chance than he deserves.

Hurry pa, they getting ready.

[Mart] Hold it!

Give us time to think it over.

[Mart] You can have him.

[Wes] They'll drag him all the way to the Black Hills.

[Mart] Yeah, and they ain't gonna be coming back neither.

Sure figured it right, pa.

Don't turn around.

I could've killed Wes.

You start shooting, and I will.

Get their guns.

You was hiding a gun here all the time.

Oh, no, I always keep one up there for just such occasion.

Now get the others.

You should've dumped him out instead of Matson.

Yeah, there's a lot of things I ought a done

but right now, he's in charge of the doing.

Right.

Now suppose you sit down.

Can't we leave now?

As soon as I transact a little business.

I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to sit down.

- I don't understand. - I said sit down.

- What's going on here? - You too.

Rip, go over to the end of the bar.

Now, look behind that post there.

Unroll it.

It's a gold nugget.

Now look at the paper.

That's a map, pa. It's the one to the mine.

You were right about one thing.

I made sure I'd find my way back.

I hid that behind there when I found out you three were here.

Well, I'll be a three-toed sand lizard.

You sure can't tell a grass snake

from a sidewinder till you get bit.

So you got the map?

What's that got to do with us?

Since you're so interested in that mine

I'm gonna sell it to you.

- It isn't yours to sell. - You're about half right.

It belongs to those Indians that were just here.

I can't give you a deed Fallon

but I can give you a map.

You double-dealing hyena.

Interested Fallon?

- What's the deal? - Fifteen thousand cash.

Don't do it, pa, the mine's worth a million.

He's up to something.

That's one thing about a crook.

He thinks everyone else is dishonest.

His question still needs an answer.

Why only 15,000?

There isn't enough money to get me

back in that Indian country.

Not after what happened to me.

What makes you think the same thing

wouldn't happen to me?

That's your problem.

But you've got three times the chance that I have.

If you run out of backbone, you can always call 'em in

for your spread.

But you've already killed two men to get what you want.

I don't think a few Indians are gonna stop you.

You got things figured right down to a hair, ain't you?

You interested or not?

Where'd I get $15,000 out here?

[Maverick] Not out here. At your ranch.

It takes operating money to run a spread.

Your money would be there.

You'll have one of your boys ride for it.

I'm the only one that knows the combination to the safe.

You can write out the combination.

Or don't you trust your boys?

Alright, give me a pencil and something to write on.

Get it for him Simmons.

Your worse than they are.

I'm sorry to disappoint you ma'am.

You let my husband believe you were his friend.

He trusted you, he even showed you the mine.

I didn't ask him to.

You gonna take all day?

Here, now, make it fast.

[Maverick] Now write out the combination.

You better tell him to forget that first note.

Because if he doesn't, you'll be dead.

You'll be an orphan.

Do like he says, Wes.

I mean it, just bring back the money.

I'll take that map.

You can have it back if he brings the cash.

He will.

Now Simmons, suppose you tell me

when the stage for the east is due.

Oh, so now you're squirming?

The shoes on the other foot.

As passenger agent here, you're supposed

to give out that information.

So you can make sure how much time you got

to get your dirty money.

Where money's concerned

it can be dirty, or dusty, or soggy.

Just as long as it's money.

Now, when's that stage due?

I don't know.

When I leave here

I have the choice of taking you with me

or letting you loose

or leaving you here with them.

You know too much on Fallon for him to be as generous.

You'd better tell him.

It'll be here in two hours.

Well, let's all just sit and relax.

Since nobody's going anywhere.

Well, if everything works right

you'll be on your way to Dodge City by morning.

Thanks for your consideration.

Well, since your son's in Boston

I figured you'd want to go there.

Does it matter to you?

Well, I promised your husband you'd be alright.

It's too bad he died without knowing

what kind of a man you really are.

[Maverick] As for the mine

when opportunity scratches my back

I make the most of it.

No matter who gets hurt.

You can't lose something you never had.

Sam died for it. It belongs to his son.

He died for something that didn't belong to anyone.

Then why did you say Sam left it to our son?

It was Sam's way of thinking.

And when a man's dying

you let him think the way that makes that going easier.

You have a way of twisting words.

Making black white, and white black.

Next, you'll be asking me to

thank you for stealing the mine.

I might, at that.

[Mart] It's a two hour ride to the ranch.

We both got something to lose if Wes don't make it back here

before that stage gets in.

He will.

There's some things that even you can't guarantee.

The Indians took care of that for us.

Now, what would the burning of one stage coach

have to do with the other?

Well now, suppose you were driving the eastbound stage

And you ran on to what was left of the other one.

Well, I'd high tail it back to Twin Bluffs for some help.

Why, I see what you mean. That's gonna give Wes

more than enough time to get back here.

Hey, you don't leave much to the imagination, do ya?

If I did, I wouldn't be alive today.

It'd be nice having a fella like you on my side.

- I'm gonna make you a deal. - I got one.

[Mart] Fifteen thousand against a million?

Well, I don't blame you for not wanting

to go back up in 'em hills all by yourself

but if you was with me and the boys

a couple of hands from the ranch

you'd feel different about it.

And you'd be a partner, 50-50.

And I wouldn't get my 15000.

No, you'd get a half a million.

Or a bullet in the back.

You've got too much imagination.

Maverick, it's too bad you're a crook.

I was just beginning to like you.

Well, now that's the way I feel about Rip over there.

If he didn't have him for a father

and a brother that shoots people for fun

he might turn out alright.

The way things are going, he doesn't have

much of a chance to straighten out.

- Pot calling the kettle black. - Maybe.

But it'd seen men who've been where he's headed.

You tried splitting us up once before and it didn't work.

Ain't that right, Rip?

Now we're here on business, so spare us the sermon.

Consider it finished.

What kind of a hypocrite are you?

A man doesn't have to be a saint to give advice.

I just don't understand you at all.

Things that don't make sense, sometimes add up

when you look back at them.

I hope I live to have that opportunity.

I'm counting on it.

Now back to "Maverick."

Didn't figure on him being this late, did ya?

Just might be the stage coach might get here first.

Yep, just might be.

Why don't you shut up?

Well, seeing as you ain't got no gun

I'll just ignore that.

You know, if he's right though, pa

we'll be trapped in here.

Well, you could leave now.

If'n he'd let ya.

- Yeah, maybe we could. - We're staying right here.

That money must mean an awful lot to you.

- Is that my boy? - Yeah, it's him.

Now, how could I be that careless?

Count it.

It's there, every lousy penny of it.

Your son doesn't sound convinced.

You wanna back out?

Are you serious?

You can have your money back

but you'll never see the mine.

We made a deal.

It's all there.

Alright. Here's your map.

There, right where I figured it.

Next time play your hunches, it's cheaper.

- Let's go boy-- - Sit down.

But we made a deal.

You leave after we do.

Simmons, get the horses, take them all.

What'd I tell ya, pa, it's a stacked deal.

We'll turn 'em loose about five miles out.

Who knows, they may find their way back.

I don't like it, pa.

If you did, it'd worry me.

How can you let them go? They're murderers.

The horses are ready.

Shall we leave, Mrs. Harris?

Pa!

You killed him.

No, pa.

I never killed him or-or nobody.

- You're hurt-- - Get your hands off me.

Whatever happened to you?

It was always the three of us against everybody else.

No, pa.

It was always you and...

...and him against everybody else.

I'm sorry, pa.

Looks like you've got the mine all to yourself.

Are you still gonna let him have it?

He paid for it.

Cost him a lot more than he thought.

[Simmons] They're here.

It's the east-bound stage

and they got a posse with them.

Thanks for all your help.

They'll stand trial back at Twin Bluffs.

From what I saw, Rip deserves a break.

I'd be dead now if he hadn't warned me.

I'll show him every consideration.

[Simmons] Just a minute, sheriff.

I been waiting for this lady to tell ya

but since she ain't, I will.

That two-faced low bull

sold the map that rightfully is hers.

Sold it to Fallon for $15,000.

[Tibbs] That's a serious charge.

You want to accuse this man?

No, I'm afraid that whatever he did, he had a right to do.

That's the last time I'll ever try to help a woman.

What about this map you sold?

I made a map of a mine in the Black Hills.

Belongs to Fallon now

and I don't think you can take it away from him.

A mine in the Black Hills don't belong to anyone.

I didn't sell him a mine I sold him a map.

No law has been broken.

There's another thing sheriff

he was gonna give them back their horses

so they could get away.

The horses belong to them.

But they wouldn't have gotten far.

I figured you'd send out a posse from Twin Bluffs.

Can't arrest him for something

he didn't get around to doing.

Next thing, you'll be giving him a medal.

[Tibbs] I hope you have a nice trip east, Mrs. Harris.

Thank you.

Simmons was right about one thing.

The money's yours.

I couldn't have drawn the map

if your husband hadn't shown me the mine.

Well, if you intended for me to have it

why did you wait until now to tell me?

If I hadn't, Fallon wouldn't have

gone through with the deal.

There's so much I don't understand. I--

[Simmons] Time to roll 'em.

But, the map's worth a million dollars

and Fallon still has it.

He bought it.

But, I wouldn't worry about that.

Your husband didn't know too much about mining.

He struck a pocket of free gold.

It wasn't worth much more

than the nuggets he had to save.

He realized it before he died.

Then you sold Fallon a worthless piece of paper

for $15,000?

He wanted the claim so bad

that he killed your husband for it.

I figured he should have it.

I don't know what to say. I...

Everything's ready, ma'am.

I'm almost sorry I'm going back.

So am I.

Let her roll!

Hee-ya!

Ha!

Sure is amazing

how an hombre can steal a woman blind

and make her love it.

Hey, keep this as a souvenir.

It might bring you luck.

If nothing more, it'll remind you of...

...quite a woman.

Good evening. I hope you enjoyed tonight's show.

Next week we bring you

a moving and heart warming love story.

Before I tell you any more about it

I'd like you to meet my lovely leading lady.

Her name's Fatima. Charming, isn't she?

Fatima isn't used to getting sugar.

You maybe making yourself a friend for life.

Yeah, well, that's gonna be short life.

I'm leaving town tomorrow.

[Maverick] It is also a story

of a deadly conflict between two men.

Each with his own reason for hating the other.

Now, Mr. Maverick, if you're looking for trouble

you're just gonna find it.

Whether it's gun trouble or car trouble,

you're gonna get it.

I'm not looking for trouble.

You just let me cut those cards and everything will be alright.

She's comin' out, Maverick.

Go on.

There's a tinhorn named Bret Maverick come into town

here last week and try to bust me up.

I had to gun him.

They tell me you did careless job.

Yeah, well, they tell you right son.

Now, he's gonna be back on feet pretty soon

and he's made it known he's gonna come after me.

Sounds like where I come in.

That's exactly where you come in.

Everyone on town says that you're just waiting

till you get back on your feet so you can...

...go and finish your gunfight with Carl.

Well, I kinda let that word get around.

Don't do it.

The man ripped a hole in my shoulder.

That's hard to forget.

I got the right man.

Low, darn, dirty, double dealing rat

I've been looking for.

You looking for a gunfight, friend.

It's the only kind that settles things.

Now you start for your gun.

That won't be necessary.

You see, I have a derringer in this hat

and it's pointed straight at your heart.

That's a pretty tired bluff, Maverick.

Call it, friend.

[Maverick] The team and I will be looking forward

to being with you next week

when we bring you "Relic of Fort Tejon."

See you, then.

This has been an ABC Television Network presentation.
