Maverick (1957) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Send out tall one with yellow coat
we go away.
- You get up.
- Ain't you gonna give him a chance?
We wouldn't be holed up in here,
if it wasn't for him.
He's getting better
than he deserves.
Hurry, Pa, they're getting ready.
[GUNSHOT]
FALLON:
You can have him.
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've 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've been leading you away
from the claim.
We've been making one, big circle.
Here we are.
- You're going to take us to that claim.
- Am I?
You got three guns on me
but this is a double-barrel shotgun
and before I hit the ground
it will get all three of you.
You see, I've got a big advantage.
If you kill me, what would you have?
Nothing.
We'll argue that point later
but now you put that gun down,
and fast.
I don't think so.
You're gonna get onto your horses
and ride off.
You might be able to kill all three of us
with that scatter gun you got.
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 want to kill you, Harris.
We don't want the whole mine neither.
We just want you to cut us in for a piece.
You're going to need some help, anyway.
It would be different if that mine
belonged to you but it don't
it belongs to Indians.
None of us have 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.
You were his partner. He certainly
must have told you where it was.
He was taking me for the first time.
He didn't tell me nothing.
Oh, that's too bad.
You've just seen enough to hang us all.
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 will get you there.
What is that?
MATSON:
At the packsaddle station
someone's coming in on a 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 going to tell you anymore.
I'll wind up the way Harris did.
He's stalling, Pa.
I'll tell you anything you wanna 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 it for us.
You got something to trade, all right,
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.
[GRUNTING]
- Rip.
- Yeah?
When I go back inside,
you wait half a minute or so
then come in after me and say,
"The stage has come."
And 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 fellas feel hungry.
No, thanks.
Stage is coming, Pa.
That's part of the dust
on top of Pine Hill.
They're early today.
I better be getting them
their horses ready.
Stage is practically here.
You tell us now.
- I said I'd tell you when it got there.
- That could be too late, mister.
This place will be crawling
with passengers
you'd just go back on the deal
and start yelling for help.
What's to keep me alive
after I've told you what you wanna know?
We're not killers.
You got a short memory.
Harris would be alive
if he hadn't used that shotgun.
You said we need you.
So, what are 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 think
we'd take a chance on killing you
with the stage just a few minutes out,
do you?
You've got a lot better sense than that.
All right.
Harris wrote to his wife in Boston,
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.
Does she know you?
Yes.
You're a liar. Now you get outta here
before the stage shows up.
Shouldn't we keep him
-till we find out he's telling the truth?
- He told the truth. Get going.
[MATSON SCREAMS]
You lousy butcher.
If you weren't my brother,
I'd shoot you.
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 this place
could've been full of lawmen.
Now let's get him on a horse
and dump him in Thorn Canyon.
[HORSE APPROACHING]
Get him over there.
Station man is outside,
something I can do for you?
No, not a thing.
You seem to be
in a mighty big hurry to get here.
I was.
Thanks for your interest, anyway.
[DOOR OPENS]
Morning.
Got some grub there for the passengers
that are coming in
-you can dig in if you got to 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?
- But they ain't much for conversation, heh.
- They thought you was the stage.
- Sorry to disappoint them.
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.
DRIVER:
Ho!
Grub for everyone inside, folks,
just help yourself.
WOMAN: Look, isn't this pretty?
MAN: Mm-hm
WOMAN:
Nice.
Thank you.
Ain't no way to treat the animals,
they got to go back east
and run soon as
that other stage gets in.
Coming in I saw
what looked like Sioux tracks
maybe a renegade band,
so I got outta there fast.
There ain't no Indians between here
and the Black Hills.
And if 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.
You're just getting old, Simmons.
It's rheumatism that makes it ache,
not Indians.
[SIGHS]
[LAUGHS]
- Mrs. Harris?
- Yes.
I'm Mr. Matson, Sam's partner.
He's staying up at the mine
and I'm supposed to take you up there.
Oh, but that's not what Sam wrote
in his letter.
FALLON: 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 is just
made to order for claim jumpers.
- I see.
- As 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, the 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, it ain't likely but suit yourself.
Now just let me know
whenever you're in the mood to go, huh?
- I will.
- Goodnight, 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
[GASPS]
[LAUGHING]
That's just the way
I feel about Southern fried chicken.
To each his own.
I was in the restaurant business, heh,
and you cannot please them all.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
That fellow has a familiar look.
- Is your friend asleep?
- That's right.
Looks like a customer that used
to come to my place in Dodge City.
The man was fair daft about ribs.
Spare ribs.
He don't like to be waked up
and he's never been to Dodge City.
My mistake.
DRIVER:
All right, folks, we're ready to rumble.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
DRIVER:
Let it roll! Hyah!
Mrs. Harris, my name is Maverick.
I'm looking after this lady
and I don't think her husband
would want strangers talking to her.
I don't think Sam Harris cares one way
or the either right now.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry to have to tell you this
but your husband is dead.
- I buried him two days ago.
- You lie.
I ran across Sam four days ago.
Some man had shot him, left him for dead.
I tried to get the bullet out.
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 are telling the truth
why did you wait so long to talk?
I just figured I'll 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 you?
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.
[MRS. HARRIS GASPS]
I think we'd better leave, ma'am.
WES: You're not going anywhere.
Either one of you.
Look, 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.
- What's going on?
- Where's the hardware?
- Are you loco?
-Where is it?
- It's underneath the bar.
- Let's get it.
I don't wanna inconvenience you,
but we got business to transact
now if you just go over and sit
by that water cooler 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 a shotgun.
Meaning, he was trying to keep
what was his.
WES: You're gonna talk yourself
right into a box.
That mine didn't belong to your husband,
anyway. It was on Indian land.
From a practical standpoint the gold
is there waiting for anybody who 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 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, get that stage and don't come back
here without that luggage.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]
Rip ain't got much stomach
for that kind of job
there's a chance
he might scare off.
Should've sent me, I'd get it.
You'd have shot the driver
to get it and we got enough worries as it.
I figured that maybe you could save us
a lot of trouble.
And you got plenty of that.
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 because 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's claim?
Everybody knowed it.
Heh, 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 lead you away from a strike.
FALLON: We knew that.
But Harris is dead and I am alive.
Now you figure out who's smart.
All right, your socks.
- You're wasting your time.
- I got plenty of that.
I sure hope there is no such map
on that stage, Mrs. Harris.
Right now, they're
just keeping me around for insurance.
If that map shows up
it'll 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 stopped me
from feeling sorry for myself.
All right, get them off.
[GUN COCKS]
[GUNSHOTS]
[ALL YELLING]
[WHOOPING]
[DOOR OPENS]
WES: Was she lying?
- We'll never know.
- What happened?
- It was awful, Pa, just awful.
What happened, boy?
There was nothing left of that stage
just a heap of burning wood
and charred bodies.
- Why in the thunder would--
- It was Indians.
And they don't need reasons.
- Where did it happen?
- On the other side of Beaver Creek.
They ain't likely
to be heading this way then.
The best pickings
-is between there and Twin Bluffs.
- Could be heading for your ranch.
They got a spread?
Over a thousand head
just east of Twin Bluffs.
Most folks say they had other plans
on them first.
A thousand head?
Now, why would anyone with a spread
that big wanna kill a man over a mine?
Doesn't seem to me like you need it.
Why don't you answer him, Pa?
That's a question
I've been wanting to ask.
- You ask it some other time.
- Maybe I can answer it for you.
Sure, we got a big spread
but there isn't anybody
who doesn't think we're dirt.
You've always wanted to buy land
above Jackson's place, why?
So you could cut off his water?
With a gold mine you could.
You could get back at Jackson
and all the rest.
- 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,
we'll make a nice haul for those Indians.
I hear anything they can't carry away,
they burn.
FALLON: You'd like for me to forget you.
That's what you'd like.
Well, he just might be right, Pa.
Whose side you on, little brother?
- If you had sense you'd know.
-If you had backbone I'd know.
You didn't like this idea.
Now you want us to give up.
What's with you?
- You didn't have to kill Harris or Matson.
- Stop it!
Both of you.
At least you got one boy
who can think for himself.
Let 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.
- I should give it to him right now.
- No!
Uh-uh, your pa won't like that.
It just happens that I'm the only one
that knows where the mine is now.
- Which makes me a privileged character.
- That's telling him.
- That same privilege don't extend to you.
- That's where you're wrong.
It 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 going
to lose the privilege of staying alive.
- What about them?
- They ain't your problem.
I'm making them my problem.
All right. You take us there
and 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
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 he'd like a slug in that left arm
just to lower them odds.
Look at him.
- Look at him, Pa, he's enjoying it.
- Shut up, little brother.
[INDIANS YELLING]
[GUNSHOTS]
Close them all windows.
[SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
Rip, keep them off our backs.
[SHOUTS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
[GRUNTS]
How many out there?
Could be all of us against them
instead of just you.
Wouldn't give you a gun
if they was looking down my throat.
They are.
Are these the Indians
that burned the stage?
That'd be my guess.
I don't get it, Pa
if they're a raiding party they'd have
stolen the stock, burned the barn.
- That's what I was thinking.
- They're after something.
Yeah, but what?
No matter what happens
I want you to know that I am 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 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.
[SHOUTS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
- 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.
I want your version.
Did you ever know the Sioux
to let a white man out
when they thought he found gold?
And they thought you had, huh?
BRET:
I didn't ask them why they were shooting.
Just kept dropping nuggets
hoping to slow them down.
They kept right on coming.
That's why they're out there.
Wanna make sure
you don't take nobody there.
That's just a piece of it. I had to kill
two of them 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.
FALLON: And you knew all that time
while they raided that coach.
- They were looking for you.
- That's a fair deduction.
And you knew that sooner or later
they'd get here.
- Nothing's ever certain.
- Except for your concern.
They ain't gonna wait 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.
That eastbound stage
is gonna be by here soon.
We'll try breaking out then.
Suppose the stage hightails it back
when they hear shooting.
And suppose they bring back
a full posse
we'd get the same treatment
those Indians get.
Hey, Simmons, what time
does that other stage come?
[SHOUTS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
Psst.
[GUNFIRE CONTINUES]
[SNIFFS]
- 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 holed up in here now
if it wasn't for him.
He's getting a better chance
than he deserves.
Hurry, Pa, they're getting ready.
[SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
FALLON:
Hold it. Give us time to think it over.
[SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
[GUNSHOT]
FALLON:
You can have him.
[SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
[SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
[SHOUTS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
[ALL CHEERING & WHOOPING]
WES:
They'll drag him to the Black Hills.
FALLON: Yeah, and they ain't gonna be
coming back neither.
RIP:
Sure figured it right, Pa.
Don't turn around.
[GUN COCKS]
I could have killed Wes.
You start shooting and I will.
Get their guns.
- You was hiding a gun here all the time.
- I keep one up there for such occasions.
BRET:
Now get the others.
You should've dumped him instead.
There's a lot of things I oughta done
but now he's in charge.
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 poster.
Unroll it.
It's a gold nugget.
Now look at the paper.
RIP: Yeah, it'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 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.
Belongs to those Indians
that were 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?
-15,000 cash.
- Don't do it, Pa.
The mine's worth a million,
he's up to something.
There'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 had.
You run out of backbone, you can always
call them in for your spread.
But you've already killed two men to get
what you want.
I don't think Indians
are gonna stop you.
You've got things figured right,
don't you?
You interested or not?
- Where do I get $15,000 out here?
BRET: Not out here. At your ranch.
It takes operating money to run a spread.
Your money would be there.
You can let one of your boys
ride for you.
I'm the only one who knows
the combination to the safe.
You can write out the combination.
Qr don't you trust your boys?
Give me a pencil
and something to write on.
Get it for him, Simmons.
- You're worse than they are.
- I'm sorry to disappoint you, ma'am.
My husband believed you were his friend.
He trusted you, showed you the mine.
I didn't ask him to.
- You're gonna take all day?
- Here, now make it fast.
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, boys, 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?
So now you're squirmy.
The shoe's on the other foot.
As passenger agent 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 is concerned it can be dirty,
dusty or soggy.
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 this generous.
You'd better tell him.
It will be here in two hours.
Well, let's all just sit and relax
since nobody is going anywhere.
If everything works right,
you'll be on your way to Dodge City.
Thanks for your consideration.
Well, since your son is in Boston
I figured you'd wanna go there.
Does it matter to you?
I promised your husband
you'd be all right.
It's too bad he died without knowing
what kind of a man you really are.
BRET: 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.
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.
FALLON:
It's a 2-hour ride to the ranch
we both got something to lose
if Wes don't make it back here
-before the stage gets in.
- He will.
There are some things
that even you can't guarantee.
The Indians took care of that for us.
Now what would the burning of one
stagecoach 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
I'd hightail it back to Twin Bluffs
for some help.
Well, I see what you mean.
That's gonna give Wes
more than enough time to get back here.
You don't leave much to imagination,
do you?
If I did I wouldn't be alive.
It'd be nice having a fellow like you
on my side.
- Gonna make you a deal.
- I got one.
FALLON:
15,000 against a million?
I don't blame you for not wanting to go
back up in them hills all by yourself
but if you was with me and the boys,
couple of hands from the ranch
you'd feel different about it.
And you'd be a partner. Fifty-fifty.
And I wouldn't get my 15,000.
- No, you'd get a half a million.
- Qr 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.
And that's the way I feel
about Rip over there.
If he didn't have him for a father
and a brother who shoots people for fun
he might turn out all right.
The way things are going
he wouldn't have much of chance.
- Pot calling the kettle black.
- Maybe
but I've seen men
who've been where he's headed.
You tried splitting us up once before,
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.
[SIGHS]
Didn't figure on him being this late,
did you?
Just might be the stagecoach
might get here first, yep.
Just might be.
Why don't you shut up?
Seeing as you ain't got no gun,
I'll just ignore that.
You know, he's right,
we'll be trapped in here.
Well, you could leave now if he let you.
- Yeah, maybe we could.
- We're staying right here.
That money must mean
an awful lot to you.
[HORSE APPROACHING]
FALLON: Is that my boy?
BRET: 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 mines.
We made a deal.
It's all there.
All right. Here's your map.
There. Right where I figured it.
Next time play your hunches,
it's cheaper.
- Let's go, boys.
- Sit down.
- We've made a deal.
- You leave after we do.
- Get their horses, take them home.
- What did I tell you, it's a stack deal.
We'll turn them loose about five miles out.
Who knows, they may find their way back.
- I don't like it, Pa.
-If you did it would worry me.
How can you let them go?
They're murderers.
[HORSE WHINNIES]
[HORSES NEIGHING]
The horses are ready.
Shall we leave, Mrs. Harris?
RIP:
Pa!
You killed him.
No, Pa
I never killed him 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 him
against everybody else.
I'm sorry, Pa.
Looks like you've got the mine
all to yourself.
Are you still going to let him have it?
He paid for it.
Cost him a lot more than he thought.
SIMMONS: They're here. It's the eastbound
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.
Just a minute, sheriff,
I've been waiting for this lady to tell you
but since she ain't,
I will.
That two-faced lobo sold a map
that, rightfully, is hers.
Sold it to Fallon for $15,000.
SHERIFF:
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.
The 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 going to give them back
their horses so they could get away.
The horses belong to them
but they wouldn't have gotten far
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.
SHERIFF:
I hope you have a nice trip east.
Thank you.
Simmons was right about one thing
the money is yours.
I couldn't have drawn the map if your
husband hadn't shown me the mine.
If you intended for me to have it,
why did you wait till 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 row them.
But the map's worth a million dollars
and Fallon still has it.
He bought it.
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 us 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.
Everything's ready, ma'am.
I'm almost sorry I'm going back.
So am I.
[DOOR CLOSES]
- Make it roll.
- Hyah!
Hyah!
Sure is amazing how an hombre can steal
a woman blind and make her love him.
You keep this as a souvenir,
might bring you luck.
If nothing more, it will remind you
of quite a woman.
