All language subtitles for Riverboat S01E03 About Roger Mowbray

Come in.

Good evening, my dear. I
came to say good night.

Good night, Papa.

Oh, is Roger back from Natchez?

No.

That... That's just my way of enjoying
every minute of being Mrs. Roger Mowbray.

Hopelessly in love, aren't you?

Hopelessly, Papa.

And to think that four months
ago I didn't even know he existed.

Now every minute away
from him is like a year.

Why didn't Roger take
you to Natchez with him?

It was a business trip.
Since we're moving to St. Louis,

he wanted to wind up
his affairs in Natchez.

Dear Roger, Now say
you're not coming back, Roger.

I'm not coming back. I have other plans.

Other plans?

Four months ago, we made plans
together. What about those plans?

Well, they've been changed.

Like that? Mr. Roger Mowbray has
changed his plans so Miss Cassie Barrett

can take her wedding dress
and wear it to a hoedown?

Or if she doesn't feel like dancing,
she could wad it up in dust with it.

There's somebody else. Who is she?

Please, Cassie.

Please, Cassie. Is
that all you have to say?

There's somebody in
Vicksburg. I can feel it in my bones.

I should have been there.

A man shouldn't be alone.

I can make you forget her.

Jonathan!

Hiya. Aren't you unloading any cargo here?

No, nothing unloaded. It's been half
empty all the way up in New Orleans.

We pick up the cargo in
Vicksburg. Business slack, huh?

Well, we've been making it
expensive, but there's nothing left for cake.

I'd rather get that fuel aboard, huh?
We'll be shopping off in about an hour.

You know, Gray, I might be able to Oh,
really? Well, I'm right here to catch it.

Antoine Rego is opening
up a branch in St. Louis.

Does that mean anything to you?

Oh, yes, sir. I've been hoping to get
his business for a long time. Well,

there's a young friend of mine here in
Natchez right now. As a matter of fact,

we're going on to Vicksburg together.

He's brought into the firm,
full partner. Full partner?

What's his name? Mowbray, Roger Mowbray.

I'd like to meet that young man.

Well, I expect he'll be up at Pauling's.

I'll introduce you.

Well, in that case, Mrs.
Pauling's finest meal is on me.

Too bad he didn't kick
you right in the head.

First he kicked out the back of my bar,
and now he kicked out the front door.

Looks like he wanted to
get out, doesn't it, huh?

All right, Ebenezer. Whoa, whoa, Eb,
take it easy now, Eb. That's it. Ah,

you cantankerous old mule.

That's right, where's Ralph? I'm going
to tie him up here in front of Falling.

If you get any more bright ideas about
taking your revenge on the dumb animal,

you think twice about
it. Come on, Eb, come on.

I envy you and Roger Gray. You're young.

The opportunities now for a young man
are staggering. I think Roger here.

With the country opening up the way it
is, there's no limit to what he can do.

Well, a partnership with Antoine
Rigaud is a pretty good start.

That must cost you a pretty
penny. Oh, money's no object to Roger.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's all right.

Finished packing?

Just about, excuse me.

Well, finish up. I'll see you aboard.

Well, thanks, Greg, for a very
excellent meal. Oh, not at all.

I'm sure it'll be worth
your while. Yeah, I hope so.

Captain Holden, is it true that Roger
Mowbray is a partner with Antoine Rigaud?

Yeah, it looks that way, Cassie.

Well, how can he be a
partner with a rich man like that?

Must have bought in.

With what?

Well, the usual legal tender is money.

Now, if you want to know any
more about Roger Mowbray's

business, you'll have to ask him.

Me, I just run the boat.

What's this about you being a
partner with Antoine Rigaud?

I've been working for Antoine Rigaud.
Well, why did Grey Holden call you a partner?

Well, as a matter of
fact, I'm a junior partner.

You and Antoine Rigaud? How did
a thing like that ever happen?

I don't think it
really matters now, do you?

So that's it. You're going to be rich.

I was good enough for you when you were
poor, but now you want to get rid of me.

What am I, Roger, trash? You're
just going to walk out on me?

There's somebody else.
There has to be somebody else.

Would you keep your voice down?

No, I won't keep my voice down.

Now, you're not telling
me everything. There's

something you're
keeping from me. What is it?

Cassie, I guess I should have...

I told you this before, but
I didn't want to hurt you.

And I want you to know I'm sorry.

But I fell in love with somebody
else, and we were married a month ago.

How could that be? We're engaged.

I know I didn't know how to
tell you. Now try to understand.

It's all over between us.

No, it isn't.

It'll never be over between us.

Cassie, I felt that way two months
ago also, but I don't anymore. You see,

everything has changed for me.

You'll find somebody else also.

I don't want anybody else.

And don't you ever think
that this is the end of it.

Cassie!

Cassie, looking for somebody?

Yes, I want to say
something to Roger Mowbray.

Oh?

It'd be quite a speech.

I don't know what got into
me, Captain Orban. Well,

how can I face the
people in Natchez after this?

What can I say to them? He's left
me, he's married somebody else,

and he won't be coming back?

Oh, Cassie.

Next year, you won't
remember the color of his eyes.

A beautiful girl like you can
get a million bows. Now, come on,

I'll see you ashore.
We're pulling out soon.

How soon?

Would I have time to pack?

I have to leave Natchez.

Please, could I have a cabin?

Now, I don't want any trouble, Cassie.

I won't be any trouble, I promise.

I'll stay in my cabin,
and I'll eat there, too.

Please, I have to leave Natchez.

I'm that upset and ashamed I
can't look anybody in the face.

All right, hurry up.

You mean you didn't even
offer Kathy the money?

I couldn't do that. I
couldn't bring myself

to treat her like a woman of
the streets. You're a fool.

I told you to make it worth
her while, not to cause trouble.

I couldn't hurt her in that way,
Pa. It took me months to set this up.

The gainery goes confident.

Every cent I had went into
putting up a front for you.

That house in Vicksburg, your
clothes, your gambling debts with Rigaud.

That partnership alone cost me a fortune.

You have a great start, Roger.

And you have a rich wife.

But the Rigauds
weren't no part of scandal.

You should have eased Cassie's
aching heart with the present of cash.

We're leaving Natchez and
Cassie behind us. There'll

be no scandal, Pa. Stop calling me Pa!

I'm Jonathan Reed, and
you're Roger Mowbray.

Bear it in mind.

Even in private, I'm not your Pa.

Get off that whistle,
Ben. You want Vicksburg,

you think we're
launching a full-scale attack?

Stand by the forward lines!

Why so gloomy, Papa?

No, it's the Pompano.

You're a fraud. You're
upset because Roger and I

are leaving. Please
come to St. Louis with us.

Why should I go to St. Louis
with you? I'd only be in the way.

Now you're being pitiful.

Are you just a little bit
jealous of Roger, Papa?

Jealous? Why should I be jealous of Roger?

Because it's your nature.

You've been jealous of every young
man who's ever paid court to me.

Jealous, she says, because I
tried to protect you from every

fortune hunter all the way
from New Orleans to St. Louis.

I introduced you to Roger myself.

Oh, darling, Papa's creating a
jealous scene. Deal with him.

Are you jealous of my wife, sir? No,
she'll make me such untrammeled emotion.

I was about to say I don't blame you.

Roger, you have an
enormous responsibility.

There's $130,000 worth of
merchandise in this cargo.

There'll be no finer shop in St. Louis.

The retail process is marked down in the
inventory. Even allowing for breakage,

we should show a handsome profit.

I'm certain you'll be quite pleased, sir.

Oh, Mr. Rigaud, how are you? As
well as may be expected, Graham.

Mr. Rigaud?

Mrs. Mowbray, Captain Holden.

Well, you really bought
into the firm, didn't you?

Well, congratulations. Am I
permitted to kiss the bride?

I hope you'll both be very happy.

Thank you.

Our finest cabin is center
starboard. A wedding present,

compliments of the
enterprise. See you, boys.

Thank you very much.

There's something I
want to tell you. I don't

know exactly how to say it, but it's...

I want to make you the
best wife a man ever had.

And if I do anything wrong out of
ignorance or not understanding your ways,

I want you to tell me straight
out so that I can change it.

All right? All right.

I wouldn't change a thing about you.

And if you want to please
me, you won't try to either.

I love your sweet face
and your sweet ways.

I love the way you sleep with
your head under the pillow.

You know, when you first hear
about someone, you form a...

What kind of a picture
in your mind about them?

I'm afraid the picture I had
of the heiress, Jeanette Rico,

wasn't a very pretty one.

I thought that she'd be a coquette,
hard, selfish, spoiled by her money.

Beautiful, maybe.

And then you came in that day,
and you were so gentle, so shy,

so exactly different than
I pictured you as being.

Papa was right to protect me
from being hurt, I know that now,

but he shielded me from
so much of the world.

He made me afraid of men.
Darling, I love you so very much.

If anything should ever happen
to you, I think I should die.

Keep right on feeling that
way for the rest of our lives,

and we'll both be so very happy.

Hello, Cassie. Having a nice trip?

What's it to you?

Seeing as we're both here on the boat, I
thought... How's your wife, Jeb Grant?

Is she traveling with you?

No, she's at home.

And your kids? They well?

Looks like you take a powerful
interest in a parcel of people you never met.

Looks like he'd be real
sure I didn't meet him, too.

Now, Cassie, don't be like that.

I was just passing the time of daylight.

Well, I'm passing it right
back, and you can keep it.

Any way you want.

Good evening, Roger.

Good evening, Cassie. I
didn't know you were aboard.

I'm traveling to St. Louis.

There's going to be too
much talk around Natchez.

Darling, I want you to meet Miss
Cassie Baird, a friend of mine.

It's my wife.

How do you do, Miss Baird? I'm so
happy to meet any friend of Roger's. Well,

I don't feel so friendly, Mrs. Mowbray.

I hear she's rich.

Yes, I am rich.

Very rich, I'm afraid.

Well, why are you afraid?

Money buys you
everything you want, doesn't it?

Cassie.

Cassie what? Oh, I can see
you haven't told her about me.

Well, it's kind of
surprising how you can keep a secret

in Vicksburg that
everybody in Natchez knows.

Jeanette, it's all in the
past. Please forget it.

But I have to know. What does everybody
in Natchez know that's such a big secret?

Please?

What is that girl to you?

I saw her some when I lived in Natchez.

How much is some?

Jeanette, it was before I met you.

How much is some?

You went to Natchez last
week to see her, didn't you?

Yes.

To tell her that I was married to you.

Come in. I, uh...

I just thought we might have a
drink in my cabin before dinner.

Yes, Roger. Why don't you
have a drink with Mr. Reed?

You're still upset. I don't want to leave.

Oh, no, I'm fine. I have to dress anyway.

Very well, darling. Hurry and
dress. I'll pick you up for dinner.

You know who's aboard?

That girl. Yes, I know.
She's already upset, Jeanette.

How? What happened? Well, it doesn't
matter. Jeanette was badly shaken.

I'm sure she'll get
over it. It does matter.

The success of our venture depends
upon the success of your marriage.

Boy, you make my marriage
sound like a business proposition.

It is, boy. Big business.

And just what does that mean?

It means you're on your way to being rich.

Not little rich, boy. Big rich.

We can't let anything stand in the way.

We have to get rid of Cassie Baird
before she causes any more damage. Oh,

I can't do that, Pa.
Son, do you think I'd do

anything that wasn't
for your good? Well, no.

Of course not. I
introduced you to Rigaud, didn't I?

I got your partnership, didn't I?

Paul, you make this sound as
though we were scheming and dishonest.

Nothing of the sort, boy.

Just a matter of figuring.

I figured for years.

I spent 20 years living like a mole,
skimping, hoarding to get my stake.

You know where it went?

It went into setting
you up in Vicksburg, in

a house fit for a
king, a wardrobe for you.

I bought you a
partnership that cost me a fortune.

Don't you think you owe me something?

I don't know what I owe you, Pa.

I'll have to think about that. Now listen,

don't you do anything
until you talk to me.

Don't go running off at
the mouth with Jeanette.

Sweet talker.

Now you stay out of this
whole thing and let me handle it.

You're not going to handle my marriage,
and you're not going to lie about Cassie.

Roger, I was wrong to say those
things in front of your wife.

You have a plan, haven't you? You
married her for her money, didn't you?

But you were coming back to me, I know it.

Why didn't you tell me you
were marrying her for her money?

Because it isn't so.

It has to be, Hermione.

Why couldn't you have just said so?
Why couldn't you have just said, Cassie,

it's you I love, but this is my
big chance. We'll be together again.

Cassie, it's not that way.

I married Jeanette because I love her.

You're lying.

You lie through your teeth.

Roger, your wife is looking for
you. Honestly, Cassie, I'm not lying.

Take your hands off me.

I just want to talk to you, Miss Baird.

What about?

You could seriously damage Rogers' career.

Now, you don't want to do that, do you?

How would you like to
mind your own business?

It is my business.

I'm an associate of Rogers'.

Miss Baird, I'm prepared to pay
very well to mend your broken heart.

Pay?

Well, just what do you think I am?

I am not as soft as Roger, and
you're going to listen to reason?

Go to your cabin, Miss Baird.

If I ever see you lift a hand against
Cassie again, I'll throw you overboard. Gray,

you don't understand. No, I
don't. She was hysterical.

I don't happen to think the best cure
for hysteria is a slap in the face.

This beard girl is trying to
break up Roger's marriage.

That lies between Cassie,
Roger Mowbray, and Roger's wife.

It's none of my business, and I can't
possibly see how it's any of yours.

What do you expect that poor
girl to do? She's been cast aside.

She... Well, couldn't you arrange it for
her to leave the boat at the next landing?

For Jeanette's sake.

In the next few years,
the Mowbray-Rigo cargo

will amount to a big
fat sum to me, won't it?

And to protect that, I'm supposed to do
all sorts of little favors. Is that it?

Well, I'm not for sale, Mr. Reed. No, I
cannot arrange that she leave the boat.

Cassie paid her passage, and
she's entitled to transport.

Who is it?

I want to talk to you. Talk away.

I have to know what you and
Roger meant to each other.

I can stand knowing the
truth, but I have to know it.

Roger and me were going to be married.

And that's the truth.

And then he got this
chance to work for your father.

Roger's never worked for my
father. He's independently wealthy.

Roger Mopre hasn't got a sou.

He comes from a sharecropping
family six miles out of Natchez.

And last week he came back to Natchez.

I didn't know he was engaged.

He proposed to me and I accepted.

Well, that's the way girls get husbands.

I accepted too.

But you had more to offer.

But don't forget this.

You didn't beat me on my own
grounds or with my own weapons.

You bought yourself a man I couldn't
afford, and I'll get him back any way I can.

Thank you.

I ordered your favorite wine for dinner.

Thank you.

Don't you feel well, darling?

Yes, I feel perfectly well.

Would you mind leaving so
I can dress for dinner?

Ah, yes, of course darling.

You ever have the feeling that you
were sitting on a keg of gunpowder?

No, why?

Not a very pleasant feeling. It's
liable to go boom at any minute.

Not many people in St. Louis, Jeff.

Can't say I do. One or two I've run
into when I come through Natchez.

Well, the reason I
asked is I was wondering if

you knew a fella named
Purcell? Harry Purcell?

Well, he was in Natchez once in a while.

Why did we have a time?

Well, I mean, he kind of cottoned to
me. You know, he thinks I'm real pretty.

You are?

They're just about one of the
prettiest girls I ever did see.

You know what he said to me once?

He said, Cassie, you're beautiful.

You're the most beautiful
thing in the whole world.

Honest, he said it.

And he ain't the only one
who ever said it either.

He'll never make Cory's landing by
morning. The barometer's dropping all the time.

I mean, sticky weather ahead.

It ain't enough to be pretty. Well, I
mean, it'll get you part of what you want,

but not all. You know what I mean.

But now you take money.

That'll buy you anything,
whether you're pretty or not.

May I have some more wine, please?

Of course.

You can be old and ugly as sin, but if
you have money, you can buy anything.

Even things that don't want to be
bought but can't help themselves.

I've had enough.

Chanel, you're taking
leave of your senses.

Quite the contrary, I've just
regained them. Get her off this boat.

But I wasn't doing anything, I was just
sitting here and talking with Mr. Grant.

That's right, we were just sitting here
talking, not about anything in particular.

Or do you want me to leave?

Please, escort her out
of the salon, please.

Jeanette, I decide who
stays and who leaves this boat.

There's no reason why you
both can't behave like ladies.

Please inform the steward that from
now on I'll take my meals in my cabin.

I breakfast at 10, lunch
at 1.30, and dine at 9.

Tell him he'll be well
paid for his extra services.

I can afford anything I want.

Boom.

You have to understand, things
happen. Cassie just happened, I was poor.

Don't be pitiful. And I want our marriage.

Oh, I don't blame you.

Can't you understand I love you?

I love you, Jeanette.

I'm sorry I lost my head.

I guess jealousy is human too, isn't it?

Well, darling, there's
nothing to be jealous of.

Undo the top of my gown, will you, dear?

Yes, of course.

That girl must be mad
making such crazy insinuations.

Cassie's all right.

She had quite a rough time of it.

I've known her for years.

But she meant nothing to you.

Well, perhaps at one
time, but she doesn't now.

She seems to have
taken it quite seriously.

Yes, Cassie has quite an imagination.

You mean she lies?

She doesn't tell the truth?

Well...

Where did you get the money
to buy in the firm, Roger?

Sharecropping?

Where did you get the
money to live the way you did?

That house and all those
presents and gambling with father.

Sharecropping must pay
better than it did last year.

Cassie's been here, hasn't she?

No, I went to her.

Where did you get the money, Roger?

I borrowed it.

From whom?

Does it matter? I borrowed it.

But you were going to let
me pay it back, weren't you?

No.

Oh, you were going to let
father pay it back, not knowing it.

No, I was going to pay it
back out of the profits.

Whose profits?

My profits. I happen to be a partner.

You're a cheap, lying swindler.

Now, don't say that, Jeanette.

Why shouldn't I say it? It's true.

Jeanette.

I have never told you one lie,

and I have never touched a penny of
your father's money or yours either.

But you're a fraud. You're
nothing you pretended to be.

Yes, I did pretend, and I did borrow,
but there's no law against pretending,

and there's no law against borrowing.

What a fool you must have thought me.

No one has ever loved me for me alone.

Just Jeanette, not the Regal fortune.

No man has ever just loved me.

No one has ever thought of the
other advantages of marrying me.

What a fool you must have
thought me, and what a fool I've been.

Jeanette, I swear to you...
Don't speak anymore, Roger!

You want money? You can
have all the money you want

when we get to St.
Louis. Just name your price.

But until then, remember this.

That side of the cabin is yours, and
this is mine. Please don't confuse them.

Please be patient with me a little longer.

I'm sure I can straighten all this out.

I love you more than you'll ever know.

You see, Cassie, it's like this.

A man gets married young, and it
gets so that every day is the same.

The same face, the same
questions, same arguments.

You can see how it is. It gets monotonous.

What about your wife, Jeff?

Must get monotonous for her too, huh?

Women are different.

Whoever told you that?

Well...

I'm going to bed. Good
night, and thanks for the drink.

What do you mean, good night?

Let go of me, Jeff.

Don't be silly. Don't be silly.

Jeff!

Jeff!

What do you think you're doing?

Did it ever occur to you
that I have other things

to do than referee your private fights?

Come on, I want to talk to you.

She led me on. She sweet-talked me
all night, and then she bit me. Good!

I hope she took a good big bite.

If I had to choose between
having you and river pirates aboard,

guess which one I'd take?

He tore my dress.

Sit down here.

What are you trying to do? Wreck
the Enterprise single-handedly?

First you almost shoot a man, and
you try to break up his marriage.

Now here you are, a sweet talker
and a backwoodsman with three kids.

What's the matter with you anyway, Cassie?

What do you care? Well, I don't.

If I didn't, you should.

Why? Because you have to live, that's why.

Anybody ever tell you that
tomorrow is another day?

Why?

I suppose you think that's a treat.

It'll be just like all the others.

Kathy, Kathy.

You're not the first
woman that ever lost a man.

I haven't lost Roger.

He was crazy for me.

When things are like that between
two people, a man doesn't change.

A man does change. Everything changes.

The man is married. Can't you
get that through your head?

The marriage ceremony
says, forsaking all others.

Now, doesn't that mean anything to you?

Must have meant something to
Roger. He wouldn't have said it.

He still loves me.

Now, you listen to me, young lady.

You've got a choice of two ways to go.

You keep on sweet-talking the Jeb
Grants of this world, In another ten years,

you look in the mirror and you
two girls won't be speaking.

Let me tell you something else.

They come lower than Jeb Grant.

Now, if that's what you
want, you keep right on going.

I'm not your keeper.

Captain Holden, it just seems
that all my life I've been fighting.

Fighting to get something
and then fighting to keep it.

Roger Mowbray belongs to me by rights,
and he knows it and feels it just like I do.

He only married her for her money.

140,000. I want to talk to you, Pa.

I want to talk to you, too.

Seems to me you're
forgetting a few things, son.

What things are those?

For one thing, you're forgetting
what you owe me as your father.

You have a whole life ahead of you.

I have it.

I'm an old man, and I'm tired.

Every cent I ever had in my life is
tied up in that cargo in the hold.

And I want my money out of it.

And I have a way to get it.

What do you mean?

Can't possibly clear
enough from that cargo to pay

Rego and you two? Oh,
yes, we can. Now, look here.

I've been going over this inventory.

Rego's asking $20 for
items that will bring $50.

I've marked up everything
that will take a price increase.

We can easily get $20,000
more than Rego expects.

I'll have my money, Rego won't be
hurt, and you'll have a partnership.

You've planned this
all along, haven't you?

Now look at these figures, it's easy as
falling off a log, and nobody the wiser.

Yeah, nobody the wiser but me.

Do you mean to stand there and
tell me you're selling me out?

I'm not selling you out,
Pa. I'm holding you honest.

I don't want any part of this.

I'm beginning to see you in a new light.

And you used to come up to
visit me and Ma from New Orleans.

I thought you were the most
wonderful man that ever lived.

And now I'm beginning to
remember helping Ma carry buckets

of swill to the hogs because
they were too heavy for her.

Work you should have been doing.

Where were you, Pa? Where was I?

I was getting a stake to
set you up in business.

I have a talent for seeing a chance and
taking it. You have a talent for cheating,

conniving, and lying. And it's
not a talent, it's a disease.

Oh, stop bubbling morality.

Try to see reason, try to be fair. I'm
trying to see reason, my kind of reason.

I married Jeanette, and I love her.

She's entitled to the truth, and I'm
going to tell her the whole story.

And they won't have to be living a lie.

What about me?

What about your father, who
only has a few more years?

It's all right for your father
to get along the best way he can.

Is that it?

Will you owe me something,
Roger? Why? Because I was born?

I have a right to live for a few years
the way I've always dreamed of living.

A right, do you hear me?

You're thinking all wrong, Pa. We can
live a good life and an honest life.

I want to live the way I planned.

You're going to listen
to me like a son should,

and we're going on with my plans just
the way I made them, you understand?

Put that gun away and calm
down, Pa. I've made up my mind.

Get out of here, I tell you. Go on
down to the main saloon and stay there.

And keep your mouth shut.

Roger, Roger, what is it that's happened?

Cassie, I want you to
give my wife her message.

I want you to tell her that
I loved her up to the last.

She needs to know. And I need her to know.

Funny kind of an
accident shot in the back.

It's bleeding real bad. Don't you think
that bullet ought to come out? No, no.

With that bullet so large, we
might bust something wide open.

There's doctors at Cory's Landing.

Telled Carney to get up
a full head of steam.

A full head of steam? That's right.

If you look at the fog out there, you've
been too busy. I'm feeling my way now.

Yeah.

The snags out there, they'll come right
through her belly. I can't even see them.

I know, Ben. You'll have
to smell your way through.

Gray, it's one man's life
against those of the other passengers.

Don't you have some
obligation to them, too?

He's dying. They're not.

Not yet.

Ben, I can't make a daylight. I'll take
the obligations. You take the orders.

Yes, sir.

Ben, that didn't come
out the way I meant it to.

I'm not ordering you to get up a
full head of steam. I'm asking you to.

And while you do it, say a
prayer. I hope you understand.

I understand, Bray.

Would you rather see him dead than
married to her? Is that it? Now,

give me that Derringer, you little nitwit.

Now, don't you start yelling at
me. I don't have a Derringer.

What was that I took out of your
hand the day we sailed from Natchez?

A wedding present? Now, give it to me.

I haven't got it.

It belonged to Mrs. Fowling,
and I left it at the tavern.

Roger Mobley was no contortionist. He
couldn't have shot himself in the back.

Well, now, why would I shoot him?

I love him.

I'd die for him. That's how much I
love him. So why would I shoot him?

A good many people have
shot a good many other

people just because
they loved him so much.

You know, for the last two days,
you've done everything you could,

except create a riot to
get Roger Morby's attention.

Shooting him is a little extreme,
and if you haven't got it with that,

I can assure you, you've got
mine. Now give me that gun!

I don't have it!

What did you do, drop it overboard?

I don't have it, I
haven't even seen the gun!

If you were a man, I'd search you.

Well, go ahead and search me.

Thank you very much.

Hello, Cassie. Wait a minute.

Listen to me.

After you left me, you
met Roger on the deck.

He told you to stop
fouling up his marriage. Now,

isn't that just about the way it happened?

He never said any such thing
to me. Never in his whole life.

He was just standing there
and bleeding and looking at me.

I swear it, Captain Holden.

Beth, what is it?

I knocked on Mrs. Mowbray's door. Yes.

She just called out to me
and told me to go away.

I didn't feel like it
was my duty to tell her.

Yeah, well, I don't feel it's my duty
to do it either, but somebody has to.

All right, thanks very much.

You stay right here in this cabin,
my girl, and don't you leave it.

Unless you jump overboard.

Jeanette, Jeanette, it's Grey Holden.

Please come back in the morning.

This can't wait till
morning, it's rather urgent.

What is it?

There's been an accident.

Roger?

He's been hurt.

How?

Where is he? What happened?

He's been shot. He's topside in the
pilot's cabin. I think you'd better come along.

Is it bad?

I'm afraid so. Come on.

Gray, he didn't do it to himself, did he?

No. That's one thing we
know. He didn't do it himself.

Give me everything you got down there!

Come on! Get the hell out of here!

I don't know.

Will he live?

I don't know. We're doing
everything we can to get him to a doctor.

I'll be in my cabin.

Jeanette, what's the matter with you?

We've quarreled, Gray.

And you think that he's
going to open up his eyes

and pick up the
quarrel where you left off?

Where we left off was the end.

Jeannette, you've been
married, what, one month?

You think your first quarrel is the end?

Well, it isn't just the first quarrel,
Gray. It's the thing that made the quarrel.

Anything can make a quarrel,
Jeannette, anything at all.

When two people who have
promised each other so much

arrive at the
conclusion that this is the end,

what they really mean is that
they've lost the ability to understand,

the ability to fight for what they want.

That could be the end for Roger Jeannette.

Do you realize what a
complete and total end that is?

Gray, he married me for my
money, not because he loves me.

Did he tell you that?

No.

He says he loves me.

Who did tell you that? Cassie Baird?

Yes.

Well, who are you going to believe?

Did you promise to love,
honor, and believe Cassie Baird?

Don't you have the guts to
fight for what you want?

Or maybe you don't want him after all.

Want him? Of course I want him.

Only if he wants me.

Well, then don't you
think you'd better find out?

Since when did one of
the rigots yell uncle?

Cassie Baird was the last one to see him
conscious. She's in there now, go to it.

Oh yeah, Cassie's tough.

But I'll take odds on you.

Cassie.

I could say you've caused a lot
of trouble, but I'm not going to,

because it suddenly occurs to
me that I've been to blame.

I've been suspicious,
and I've lacked faith.

Cassie, I love my husband. I love him so
much that life without him is worthless.

Can you understand that?
Sure, I can understand it.

I love him the same way.

If he lives, one of us has to lose
him. You can't lose what you haven't got.

Cassie, you were the last
person to see him conscious.

Did he say anything? Anything at
all? Did he ask you to call me? Ha!

What do you mean, ha?

He must have said
something, a name, something.

He said a name.

Whose name?

He said, Cassie.

He wanted you to help him.

No, he wanted to tell me something.

All right, girl, out with it.
What did he want to tell you?

He said, Cassie, you're beautiful.

You're the most beautiful thing in the
whole world. I love you. I don't believe you.

I've always loved you, just
you. You're a liar, Cassie.

Do you know why I know you're a liar?

Because the last time I
talked to him, he said,

please be patient with
me a little while longer.

I think I can straighten this
whole thing out. And then he said,

I love you more than you'll ever know.

A lot of people mean
love... Wait a minute.

What were his last words to you?

I love you more than you'll ever know.

No, no, no. Before that.

Please be patient with
me a little while longer.

I think I can
straighten this whole thing out.

Straighten this whole thing out?

That sounds like you
wanted to see somebody.

Straighten this something out with some...

It comes under one of
the prisoners' books.

The goblets now, those
are very rare indeed.

$50 a piece is a mere
pittance for glass like this.

Oh dear, now where did I put
that listing for the candelabra?

Can I help you, sir?

Huh.

You came back, Roger.

That's a good boy. I knew you would.

I knew you couldn't leave
your old father in the lurch.

There's so much detail
connected with this.

My eyes aren't as good as they used to be.

Find the candelabra listing for me, son.

The 14th century silver one.

I think it's listed at $500.

Oh, no, son, no. That's Rigaud's
listing. I want my own listing.

We can easily get 750 for it. That's
500 for you and Rigaud and 250 for me.

You see how easy it is?

Yeah, I see how easy it is.

It isn't as though it
could hurt Rigaud, Roger.

He won't find out.

And I can live like a king.

What if Rigaud finds
out? What happens then?

Oh, he won't find out for years.
The chances are he'll never find out.

You shouldn't have torn
up these listings, son.

Well, now I'll have to
do them all over again.

But I'm glad you came
around to my way of thinking.

For a minute there, I
was afraid all my dreams,

all my plans of years were
never going to come true.

Make your lists all over again, old man.

Everybody's entitled to their dreams.

What did you do with the Derringer?

Derringer?

Derringer?

Well, didn't you take
it away from me, son?

I seem to recollect after it went
off, you taking it away from me.

Didn't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess that's just
about the way it happened.

Ben, I don't think another pilot
on the river could have done it.

He's asking for you, Mrs. Mowbray.

How is he, doctor?

Oh, it's a nasty wound.

Another millimeter to the left,
and... But he's got a chance.

I'll get your coat, doctor. Come on.

Jeanette, there's something that I have
to tell you. You're not to talk, Roger.

There's nothing you have to
tell me. I know all about it.

You're not to talk. Let me do
the talking for both of us.

I love you more than I can say.

I'll be getting off here, I guess. I have
a sister that lives in Corrie's Landing.

Will you tell him... Will
you tell him goodbye for me?

Of course I will, Cassie.

Most likely I'll be picking you
up again on your way upstream.

I sure do want to see St. Louis.

Good luck, Cassie.

Oh, I'm sorry, insisting
about that, Derringer.

And that was very nice of you not to get
angry when I threatened to search you.

Well, you wanted to find a
gun. You thought I had a gun.

I just wanted you to know that I didn't.

Yeah.

Well, good straight thinking, Kathy.
You keep right on being bone honest.

And as for you ever being
searched for a gun again, well,

I doubt whether that'll ever happen.

I won't make book on it.
