All language subtitles for The Drifter (1944) colorized

I do not understand what he has to do.

Well there is a big turnout on the show.
Maybe he had to do a repeat on his act.

Well this is one night he should pass that up.

Any time drifter Davis walks out on applause,
he will not be drifter.

Do not light that cigarette blackie.

He what is the idea of being so late.

Keep your shirt on.
What is the matter ? Are you nervous.

Have to think sharper.
Most of the folks have showen up to see Clinton

The place is as deserted as a ghost town.
Those free tickets surely help.

It is smarte to think that this show
is a cover up for doing these bank jobs.

If we are going to center valley town to put that thing up in the morning,
we better get busy.

That is right Jack,
let us go.

He said that side door would be open.

Jack you stay with the horse.

Well, I'll see you in the morning, Sheriff.

What was that?

It sounded like an explosion.

Billy Carson you're right sure if it's Billy Carson all right that's all not

him cold it is surprising probably makes it to find himself behind bars come on

let's get him out of here.

Thank you.

Why don't you.

Reach for.

Wait a minute you're making a mistake marginal Oh no I'm not but you did for

not leaving town after you broke jail you mean you think you had me in jail I

don't think I know I helped like you there after the bank robbery last night

after the bank robbery.

playing innocent ain't going to get you any place belly you're going back to

jail and this time you're going to stay there now get gone.

After you mark.

What is this getting there all right all right.

Well you're looking for your escape prisoner in the morning I'm sure.

I didn't lose no prisoners.

How did you get here.

No it can't be.

Have you been there all the time get away you by any.

I got no prison no sir.

Get low with.

I'm telling you my show you're making them.

I didn't know different I'd say I was seeing double I never thought two fellas

looked so much alike in my life.

It's a good thing for me you didn't break out of here.

I've been trying to tell you to get it I'm not going to curse and if you're not

who are you that I'm going to pay but I want the medicine show all you've been

saying that song all day if you won't be needing me Sheriff I think I'll be

leaving that's all.

I'm not going to.

Maybe you don't know.

No hard feelings of Mr Davis Dr David Marshall then you're a fellow he can see

it.

What did you boys drop over to the show to do that you know him looking so much

like you probably getting the idea to impersonate you.

Yeah what I'm now I don't forget it almost got away with it you know it's a

good thing I have a lot when I did that cast as a smart umbrane no wonder he

was able to pull the job they had you know the first time I heard of him he was

traveling around the country helping people out that were in trouble right but

he went bad overnight they only probably seen how easy it was getting money

back for other people and decided to get some for himself I can't imagine a

fellow changing so quickly no accounting for it at all well when a good man

goes bad he's usually worse than the worst bad man that ever lived that's what

a lot of folks say I still don't believe well in this law business we run up

against it often I might have known Carson wouldn't write in the town wide open

like you did.

We all make mistakes now and then my I think I better be running off the boys

later yeah.

You were you wouldn't let a bad man like Bill Carson walk out of here without a

gun would you might go.

Don't forget now drop on to the show yeah I do but you don't know about it all.

Thank you.

The world's greatest rifle shot, Drifty David.

I see the reason for the sheriff and the marshal saying I went bad overnight.

Playing at Centerville July the 9th.

Well, I'll be dog gone.

Well, if that ain't Billy Carson, I'm a lop -eared lizard.

Call yourself Dr.

Dayless and gallivantin' around in a medicine show ain't gonna clear you of all

the charges against you.

And them fancy clothes ain't a foolin' nobody.

They ain't a foolin' me.

So that's where he is in Centerville, huh?

Well, mister, I'll be seeing ya.

Come on, horse.

Drifter,

it seems to me there's more important things to do than standing around

admiring yourself.

Are you hard of hearing Drifter?

Oh, what'd you say?

I asked you if there wasn't more important things to do than standing around

admiring yourself.

Well, I wasn't.

I was admiring you, Miss Kelly.

You don't object to that, do you?

I certainly do I told you so often enough your hide wasn't as thick as an

elephant you'd know I mean it.

I'll try to do better next time and another thing I'm getting sick and tired of

the way you take your own sweet time showing up around here better late than

ever well are you coming huh oh yeah yeah I I think I have everything else I

the night good you better get your rehearsal dresser we're here for you yeah

ran into a little trouble how was that about the job oh the good thing get away

green clean as a whistle they just told me the gold from the this is one time

you're going to have to grab it off the stage as long as Billy Carson's around

to take the blame yeah yeah that's right as soon as I find out what stage is

bringing in the money I'll let you know I still don't like it but if it's got

to be it's got to be oh wait after leave the girl alone for a while you better

get out of those clothes before somebody mistakes you for the real Billy Carson

go to your dressing room and get ready all right hey where do you think you're

going I was going in see Dr.

Davis you can't see him till after the show oh he see me all right because I'm

a pal he is Well, I'll tell him you're here.

It won't do any good.

Get back there.

Hey, Drifter.

What do you want?

The old ginkout front wants to see you.

What do you look like?

Well,

he looks like a Rhode Island red and acts like a disappointed mountain goat.

But he walked up to like a man.

It's me I want to see you.

I told you to stay away from me.

But nothing you say is with me I told you I don't know you and what I don't

want you ever want to know you get it but I want to.

You want me to throw him out yeah I guess you'd better.

No way to treat anybody.

Can't you forgotten I'm half of this act too.

I come on come on come on get out of here.

Well what are you waiting for.

Yeah sure.

For.

What the idea of changing the routine and using a pistol.

It's a new gun I just want to try it out you might have killed me I knew what I

was doing I wonder by the way you've been left handed ever since you joined the

show just now you use your right hand why.

Left still working.

What's going on here showing off again as usual.

Bank money is coming by this afternoon stage yeah better change any of Carson

up it and take him with you.

Change of the cars now but don't be silly can't do that from now on we're on

our own what do you mean classes in jail in jail how do you get there.

Let's not go into that.

I'll find something to wear.

Don't you worry.

Thanks for watching!

That belly's up to somethin' and Dagnabbit,

he's not gonna leave me out in the cold.

Here she comes.

Here she comes.

Let me get that money back.

What?

Billy ain't got no business holed up that stage, coach.

Now head on in style.

I don't get out of the way.

I don't get out of the way.

Billy's getting money, Carol's dropping this money bag that way.

Where's the money?

The bag was shot out of my hand.

Shot out of your hand?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, let's go back and get it.

Now, wait a minute.

Think we ought to take the chance?

Well, sure.

He hasn't had time to pick it up yet.

Come on.

Let's go.

There's these marks.

Now he's trying to find his tracks on this road and there's too many been

traveling over it.

Tough freight.

Sure is.

Let's get on back.

Oh, it's twerking nothing at all, Mr.

Barton.

Didn't fellas know that I'm in business.

Just the same your bravery and honesty is certainly commendable, Mr.

Jones.

The bank is lucky to recover this money.

Other banks in my territory haven't been so fortunate.

Mr.

Simms here is territorial bank examiner.

Several of his banks have been robbed in the past few weeks.

You got any idea who's doing it?

No doubt at all.

Did it Carson?

No, no, no, no.

Not him this time.

How do you know?

Well, uh, he went in fellas look like Carson.

He's a big man.

Anyway, different clothes.

Do you know him?

Yeah, I, uh, no, I, yeah, I mean, no, I've, well, I've, I've,

I've seen these pictures.

Can't help feeling that Jones is wrong.

Maybe he was too excited to remember what the bandits looked like.

And we know that Carson is operating in this vicinity.

I reckon I'd better be running along.

I'm a little pretty busy to take care of that.

Ain't it all day?

I shall forget you, Mr.

Jones.

You'll receive a reward just as soon as I can call a meeting of the banks to

raise.

That's all right.

Happy seeing you.

No wonder the circumstances.

I don't feel easy about that money being here.

Well, why worry about this?

The ranchers will draw it out right after the round -up.

Come sit on the left of these.

Oh, a couple of days.

Well, I didn't realize it was this late.

I'm going to check on the accounts tomorrow.

I have to meet them out in town.

Good day, Mr.

Sims.

Good day.

The stage hold -up sort of backfired on it, Sims.

And all about that.

Billy Carson's partner, Fuzzy Jones,

brought the money into the bank a short while ago.

Fuzzy Jones, I've heard of him.

Has he been around here?

Well, he ain't talking just to hear my own voice.

I've been afraid of something like that.

He must be wise to drift her.

That's a strange part of it.

He covered up for him by denying the Carson had anything to do with the hold

-up.

Well, if that's so,

why'd he take a chance on killing his drifter by shooting that money bag out of

his hand?

I saw that bag in the bank, and there wasn't a bullet mark on it.

No bullet marks?

Say, what does this Jones look like?

He's a little runt with a tin full of whiskers.

Uh -huh.

Unless I'm mistaken, he's the same one that came in to see Drifter.

But Drifter ran him out without giving him a chance to say anything.

Could be that he's planning to meet Jones later on and split the money.

That's possible.

He never figured that Jones would be sapping up to take that money back to the

bank.

Looks like Drifter's outsmarted himself.

Whether he has or not makes no difference.

With Jones around, it's just a matter of time until Carson makes an appearance.

Will you drifter on the bank job here, then cut him loose?

You're right.

As soon as I erase things, I'll let you know.

In the meantime, have the boys keep their eye out for Fuzzy Jones.

Really Carson captured and threatened to the robin city bank really Carson was

arrested Tuesday night by Marshall Hodges after a wild chasing gun battle.

Carson is accused of robbing the Well, Billy's in jail,

who in tarnations that fella with a medicine show that held up the stagecoach.

Hmm.

Them, uh, Victor Davis, is Billy on the wall.

Hey, there's Jones.

No gun play here in town.

We can't get close enough to shoot him without him saying we're going over

those hills we can't get to the crossroads ahead of it.

Ah, like the only drifter?

Sure.

What .

You've got the name wrong Mr I'm Bill Carson Bill Carson.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha not that I was close on quick joke

I'm not joking mister I saw you follow fuzzy out of town that's a good thing I

did I'm going to keep an eye on you two until I find out who's tipping trend

off about the money in the bank and I'm going to turn you all over to the law.

Well if you're a Bill Carson away thrifted drifter David in jail and clean I

get on your heart as you're coming with me.

Come on move.

What do you want you go to jail you need to use.

Yeah what do you want with it or I'm kind of down below broke and hungry and

thought maybe you might let me look here for the night.

You've got an important president.

Billy Carson Billy Carson you've got him here in jail.

Yes let me let me have a look at.

No I'll just one little peak.

Can't take any chances now run along and play with your mom.

I don't feel like being annoyed let me show you how to do that I don't need any

country you are now turn around I don't need any funny to show you how to do

what are you staring at me like that for?

I just want to make sure it's you this time, Billy.

What about it?

Yeah, I got that share of home time.

You mean you can get me out of here?

Get you out?

Did you tell Brother Q Jones it will let you down here?

You're going to appreciate this.

For me.

I don't know why you're here.

All right.

Get down here, man.

Thank you.

Hey, I know a place where we can go hide out, Billy.

Listen, Stu, but get it through that thick scully oars.

I'm not Bill Carson.

I'm Drifter Davis.

Now, don't go starting any more of that business about you not being you,

because you can't meet the other fellow because he ain't you,

and if he ain't you and you ain't you, then who's which?

I mean, how, how, which?

Oh, God, now, the first thing you know, you have me believe in,

I ain't fuzzy Q Jones.

In another minute,

you won't be worried about who you are unless you're particular about what's

carved in your tombstone.

You can't handle that gun.

I was only fooling.

Yeah.

Well, Billy always draws a gun with his right hand, and you ain't Billy.

Why, sure I am, pardon me.

Yeah, if you was, I'd have never get the drop on you.

Now listen, fuzzy eye.

Shut up.
I know I'd be making any more mistakes.

around here or I won't be riding a horse I'll be flapping wings in the fire now

get moving Thank you.

That ought to hold you until I can round up Billy,

then I'll get the straight of things.

Just because Carson's been threatening to get you,

I thought I'd better let you know.

He broke Jay.

Carson broke Jay?

Yeah.

How'd he do that?

Oh, I dried up his shrimp with chin which could pull the wool over my eyes.

What connection is there between Billy Carson and Drifter?

Those two are so much alike, your old mother couldn't tell which was which.

Take a look at this.

If you didn't know the difference, you'd think he was Bill Carson.

Are you sure you do know the difference, Sheriff?

Even the sheriff was fooled over in Clinton.

I sure was.

I thought the drifter was Billy,

but I was convinced different after I brought the two of them together.

Well, that seems to settle things.

Nothing's going to be settled until I've got Carson back in jail.

And when you do, I'll sure it's a lot easier.

Thanks for the tip, Sheriff.

By the way, Sheriff, is Billy Carson left or right handed?

He's always been famous for a fast right hand draw.

Thank you, Sheriff.

Don't mention it.

When I was making my getaway from the Clinton bank job, Carson showed up.

And, Marshall, I thought that you thought it was going to work out.

out any better with him on the loose again we go right ahead with our plan OK

I'll see you later.

Well I didn't know if we should.

Come on come on do it you have to speak to me I have to tell me I ain't too

sure about that.

Right now I ain't sure about nothing that you can believe me but yeah I believe

you know I got him out of jail what he's trying to do to me but what did he try

to do to try to shoot me well where is he now right where you're going I know

he can stop getting with that gun it might go off I can't come on where you're

taking me to know where you're going to have down the road away.

Well not that way you're out there.

We'll go out the way I came in.

Sure somebody probably by the Jones is forced to go with them what you think

him to a deserted house down the road where he's holding Billy Carson I know

that house.

Two birds in the hand is worth one in the sage bush.

Now I'll find out who's who.

It's like your bird is flowing the coop there, Fudge.

Eh, maybe so, but I still got you.

You.

Eh, now that doesn't do you any good.

Maybe not.

But he still might be in this house, and I'm going to search it,

and you're going with me.

Now get moving.

Take it easy with that gun.

It's liable to go off, you know.

Yeah.

Over here.

That's right.

Well, go ahead.

You open that door.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, who are you looking for?

No, you don't.

Get out there.

I'm going to put you in a place for a snake keeping.

While I do the looking.

Now get in there.

What's the matter with you?

I'm Billy.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, you keep me in here and you'll get away.

Oh, have you seen him?

Sure.

He's out there.

Oh, and we better picture the password so I'll know you.

The password?

Yeah.

Now, uh, I'll say, march him through Georgia.

Uh -huh.

And you say, did you just jump through Georgia?

General Sherman.

You say, march him through Georgia and I say, General Sherman.

That's good.

Now, you better go out and see what's happening.

I'll guard the front door.

Hey, what are you doing there?

Marching through Georgia.

What's the matter with you?

You going crazy?

Marching through Georgia.

Marching through Georgia.

Listen, what's the matter with you?

Don't you feel so good?

Marching through Georgia.

Look, you better sit down and take a rest for yourself.

Here.

Maybe I'll have a hand.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'm going to take a picture with you.

Thanks for watching!

Music Really?

Why don't you enjoy it, General Sherman?

Oh, I see you got the sheriff bagged.

I got the other one tied up outside.

That's fine.

We'll tie him up before it comes to us.

Drag him in the other room.

Listen, you keep an eye on these two.

I've got to get him back to town, probably.

Come on, turn him up.

You know, you and me both, hold on,

I've taken it out of this part of the country.

Don't worry, don't worry.

We will as soon as I get back.

Listen, when these two wake up, you don't pay any attention to what they say,

understand?

I'll be smart for that.

They ain't going to fool me no more.

Yeah, you just see if they don't.

Yeah.

For some reason, Your Honor, Billy, you don't seem like yourself to me anymore.

Well, don't worry.

I'm going to be myself from now on.

Finish tying them up.

Thank you.

Hey, Rifter, sound of it just telling me that everything's all right, Trent.

What happened to Billy Carson?

The sheriff finally caught up with him.

Now, I don't have to worry any more about that hombre being mistaken for me.

I'm sure I'll never mistake you for him again.

I'd like to talk to you alone, Trent.

It's important.

Sure, you'll excuse us what you're selling.

Certainly.

Tom, I'm getting to the hotel anyway.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

And it was me that they had in jail.

I haven't been with a show since you left Clinton.

You think Jones will get wise and realize he's holding the wrong man?

Him?

Why, he'll sit out in that shack guarding Carson and the sheriff till doomsday,

waiting for me to come back again.

With what he knows,

it'll be easy for Carson to prove that you pull the holdup he's been accused

of.

Yeah.

Try to put me in a tough spot.

Round up the boys.

We'll pull that bank job here tonight.

I'll contact seems to meet you the hideout for the split all right and then I'm

quitting the show and disappear and why not.

You come here let go of me no telling what you're tired of and also on the

stage behind the wing nobody will find her there.

Right.

I've met a lot of gums stubborn stupid will put a high head of news in my time

but you're the most self centered and sent this one I've ever met so far.

What's the matter with you have you lost your voice.

Now look what I'm telling you for the last time I'm Billy Carson.

I know I got this coming to me for that but the way I treated you at the job

you know but I tried to explain to you a hundred times.

Look isn't there anything I can do to convince you I'm telling the truth maybe

you can convince that go up to you convince me just to wait can I get you back

in that jail I'm sure glad I convinced somebody don't mention it I look but I'm

going to begin from the beginning again you know right from the first time we

met I've got to say everything that we get off.

You don't mind giving a guy a drink I'm getting a little hard.

As long as we've got to stay here, can't you be quiet?

Quiet!

Come and stay quiet!

Watch this.

Somebody come.

There's somebody coming.

Maybe you can convince her who I am I'll try.

Who are you I'm Sally Dawson owner of the medicine show and what you say I'm

Sally Dawson.

Now what was that I'm Sally Dawson Oh you have talked about now I could hear

you see I had to plug my ears up to keep these windbags from giving me your egg

you've got to release those men are not until it tells me to I've been trying

to tell you for the last hour but you ain't going to get your day right just

your day this is trying to rob the Centerville bank tonight yeah we'll prove it

you bet I will I'm kind of man oh no you ain't going to try to make a fool out

of me where I come from they shoot fools like you I'm tired of.

Come on hurry up.

Listen if I could have had a gun I just saved a lot of breath here's one.

No lady for a low down dirty sneak and trace like that you see I had to double

check to see whether I was wrong or not if they're Davis is left handed.

With somebody tell me what this is all about we haven't got to get to the bank

in Centerville.

Bert, you stay out here, keep a look out, come on.

You stay out here, keep a look out, keep a look out, keep a look out,

keep a look out, keep a look out, keep a look out, keep a look out,

keep a look out, keep a look I don't know what's going on here,

but I don't know what's going on here, but I don't know what's going on here.

There goes the one with money.

Come on.

Everything go off all right.

Yeah, but the sheriff showed up.

Carson and his partner were with him.

Where are the others?

I don't know.

With every man for himself.

Let's make this button.

Get out of here.

I'm worried about this stuff.

It's all mine.

You know, Drifter, you become a liability instead of an asset.

Now, wait a minute, Trenton.

What do you mean, liability?

At the next step, I'm just breaking up this little combination.

Now, you, you wouldn't do that.

You can do that to me after.

After all, I come to this outfit.

Why not?

Now, wait a minute, Trenton.

I'll take my cut.

I'll get out of here.

I won't bother you anymore.

Listen, wait a minute, Trenton.

Do you want to do it tonight?

What did you do there, poor Trenton?

I just got the only not the tightest to this business I wouldn't go on that too

much about you.

Now of course and why can't we make a deal a deal what kind of a deal we leave

drifter where the sheriff can find him he'll think it's you and we'll be

setting pretty what's to prevent me from taking it off but that'd be foolish

then you're going to line it up with plenty of future deals I wanted to know

from now on you're going to make a deal with me in the state now get going.

I wish you'd show a half hit around that door so to stay put I'm getting plump

covered out looking back to you I don't know how to find words to thank you Mr.

Jones I'll say some of that for Billy and the sheriff you know they helped a

little bit and That gets out on your gin loses weavers finders keepers I

remember that.

Seems a shame to have new posters made when the season ends in four weeks.

You know if you stay on all I'd have to do is change the name.

Yeah I think I kind of like the show business then you'll say.

Hey Billie yeah it's about time you and me was drifting on really staying until

the show closes.

Well Billie staying on the stand too well good then you have four weeks alone

think well look for nothing I'm going to be right to show what can you do I can

write anything on four feet or.

All right two wheels oh wait a minute you mean to tell me you can ride that

don't make that thing jump through.

They are part of what's his name for the Hugh Jones Jr.

You know he isn't bad he's all right.
