Maverick (1957) s01e15 Episode Script

1
All right, Red, the truth is
I don't know where the money is.
- Either you believe me or you don't.
- I don't.
And I don't think you got guts enough
to keep lying.
You wanna change your mind?
If I did, I'd just be putting it off
a little while longer, Red
and we'd have to go through this
allover again.
Tell him what he wants to know.
Mister, he'll kill you next time.
Don't make him do it, please.
Hello, glad to see you with us again.
This week's story takes you to Nevada
where you will meet a group
of unforgettable characters.
None of them too law abiding,
but all guaranteed to be fascinating.
It's called "The Third Rider."
[GUNSHOT]
[HORSES NEIGHING]
[WOMAN SCREAMS]
My friend is hurt and
we need your horse. Get off.
There's only one way
you're gonna get this horse, mister.
You're liable to be shot
before I stop kicking.
On the other hand,
if you'd ask me in a real friendly way
I might take your partner aboard double.
My horse is fresh.
Get up, Jose.
I said in a nice, friendly way.
All right, I'd like you to give
my partner a lift.
Come on up, Joe.
[BART GRUNTS]
You'll get it back when you get off.
You first.
Hang on.
BART:
Hold it.
I didn't tell you to stop.
Just the same, if he doesn't get some rest,
he's gonna be in bad shape.
[JOSE SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
No, we got to keep going.
Please, Red, my arm.
I got you this far.
I'll get you the rest of the way.
- This is what you told Miguel before he--
- Shut up.
I didn't ask you what happened
but if he keeps going,
he's gonna wind up the same Miguel.
I'm not asking you anymore,
I'm telling you.
Now, get going
or I'll blow a hole in your head.
[GUNSHOT]
Step down.
This fella got any next of kin?
Can't say. I just met him.
Might just as well bury him right here.
Take care of it, Bob.
Come on, you.
Well
I ain't much for riding anymore.
For the past three days
you've been taking me up and down
places a self-respecting goat wouldn't go.
I'm sorry for your ups and downs, mister.
But I haven't been leading you anywhere.
You got the bare-faced gall to deny it,
with your partner laying dead over there?
He's not my partner.
I still don't know you.
Name's Edwards, sheriff over at Elm City.
Said city having a bank that you and
your partners robbed three nights ago.
I've been tracking you ever since.
You're not much for tracking either
or else you'd know
I just met those two this morning.
You got to think of a better one than that.
Sure, we lost your trail a time or two,
but we always picked it up.
It was three of you when you started,
three of you when we caught up with you.
I never been in Elm City.
I'm too tired to argue.
Suppose we just let the judge decide
where you been and what you've done.
Why let Red get away?
He was running the show.
Oh, so you did know him?
Just what I heard, sheriff.
They were talking about
a Miguel who died
probably during one of those times
you lost the trail.
Since you heard so much,
what happened to the 80,000?
Red didn't have that on him
when they picked me up
they were traveling light.
Where'd you bury it?
In my hat.
As soon as we give your friend Jose
a Christian burial, we'll start riding back.
If it'd make you feel any better
you could be telling the truth.
If you are, all you have to do is prove it.
That won't be easy.
I just came down here from Denver.
- Alone?
- Till this morning.
- How long did it take you?
- Eight days.
Eight days, alone. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Too bad. Too bad.
BART“.
Edwards wasn't partial to saddle leather
so we went back first-class.
Just to keep everything legal he even had
a warrant for my arrest in his pocket.
- You're taking that man back to jail?
- That's right, sonny.
Let that be a lesson to you.
Crime doesn't pay.
Ha. Very, very funny.
Ma, there's alive outlaw over there,
the man next to the window.
[TRAIN WHISTLE WAILING]
- What's going on here?
- He tried to jump me.
He jumped me.
Sheriff Edwards of Elm City.
Oh, hold it, you.
Cover him conductor.
His name is Maverick.
And I've got the warrant right here.
- Which of you is telling the truth?
- I got the key to these cuffs.
You picked my pocket.
No wonder they call him
"Light Fingers" Maverick.
BOY:
He's telling the truth.
The man next to the window
is going to jail.
- He told that kid that.
- Well, you didn't deny it, Maverick.
- Did he, ma'am?
- No, he didn't.
I been trailing him for weeks.
He's wanted back in Elm City.
I'll take that gun, conductor.
You give him that gun, you'll regret it.
We get back to Elm City,
the folks there will identify me.
Nothing to worry about, conductor.
On the other hand
I'd like to get him out of this coach.
He's little dangerous,
what with the children and all.
- Very well, sheriff.
- I hope you saved your money.
- You're gonna be looking for a new job.
- Uh-uh, Light Fingers, let's go.
They'll never believe this in Elm City.
[TRAIN WHISTLE WAILING]
Take them off.
I know you're gonna be following me.
Next time we meet,
I'll have proof I'm innocent.
I'm gonna make you eat it, sheriff.
If you weren't guilty,
you wouldn't be doing this.
That's where you're wrong.
I'm innocent as a new-born babe,
and just as broke.
Hang it on that post.
I keep adding up five percent
of $80,000
and it just keeps coming up
4000 every time.
It's gonna be easy to find Red, because
I'm the one who knows what he looks like.
Well, there is a reward, isn't there?
You know, I've met my share of swindlers,
conmen and fancy talkers
but, brother, you take the turkey.
Darn if you haven't got me convinced
you might be an honest man.
As I said, crime doesn't pay.
How do you think it's gonna look,
leaving an officer of the law like this?
Don't worry about it.
I'll get that key back to you
as soon as I can.
BART: There weren't many men
who'd fit Red's description
so I figured if {just followed
the direction he took
I'd run into someone who'd seen him.
That's what 1 thought.
But it looked like Red had dug a hole
and crawled in.
Then he came up for air.
A man fitting Red's description
had hit Silver City.
But if Red was still in town,
he wasn't being obvious about it.
On the second day, a pretty young
waitress attracted my attention.
And on the third day, I was still attracted,
but for an entirely different reason.
Three times a day,
she'd carry that tray of food up.
And each time,
she'd bring it down empty.
The room clerk told me about the linen
and the free bath
but he didn't mention the room service.
Is that reserved for special customers?
You get yourself a broken leg,
mister
like that old galoot upstairs,
and you'll get the same service.
Ha, ha, might be worth it.
Mister, the fund isn't that good.
Uh, deal.
[MEN CHUCKLE]
BART: Turned out no one knew
the old gentleman with the broken leg.
So 1 figured he had red hair
and two good legs.
Hold it, Red.
A lot of people wanna die in bed,
you touch that gun, you're gonna make it.
Could've knocked,
saved yourself a lot of trouble.
It isn't right for a man with a broken leg
to get up to open the door.
Dolly isn't very convincing, is she?
- What do you want?
- You.
- When did you start wearing a badge?
- I'm not.
But the fella that's looking for me is.
[CHUCKLES]
You should've let us take your horse.
I gave you the chance.
I wouldn't worry about it, Red.
You're going back to Elm City with me
just to straighten it all out.
Get on your feet.
The three of us
you, me and the money
we're all going back together
just to prove I'm an honest fella.
- I thought you'd get around to that.
- I wouldn't wanna surprise you.
You don't think I'd be holed up here
if I had that money.
Just long enough
for things to settle down
50 you could go back
to wherever you left it.
That's a pretty good guess.
- Things ain't settled down enough.
- They settled.
Let's go.
I'll make you a real good deal.
Half the money, but we can't go
back there now. It's too dangerous.
Not as dangerous as it is here.
[GUN COCKS]
I drew a map.
You forget about taking me back,
and it's yours.
I got a better idea.
I'll take the map and you.
You can give it to me new
or let me find it.
- It's over there.
- Where?
Behind the looking glass.
Go ahead.
[GRUNTS]
That ought to take care of him
for a while.
- I told him the fund wasn't that good.
- But the service is great.
Thanks, Dolly.
As long as I've got half interest in that
much money, you'll always get good service.
Get your things together,
I'll meet you out back.
What about him? He saw the map.
No, you hit him before
he got a good look at it. He won't find us.
Now, hurry up.
[GRUNTS]
[GROANS]
Well, if you're ready,
we can start back any time.
Ugh, I'm ready.
[CHUCKLES]
All right, Ed, you've had your fun.
Can't I take it off new?
Ah, you're just self-conscious, Maverick.
Nobody'd notice it if you'd just ignore it,
uh, like that key you were gonna send me.
Remember the baggage car?
I'll make you a deal, anything.
All right. Where's the money hid?
If I knew where it was,
I think it'd be worth it.
Too bad, Maverick. Too bad.
Just so you don't make
the same mistake twice.
Maverick?
I got some good news for you.
Judge doesn't think
we got much of a case against you.
Nothing to tie you into the robbery.
No money found on you.
No witnesses.
And my word
that you might be telling the truth.
I said "might."
When do I get out?
Be a hearing tomorrow,
rest is up to the judge.
Just a hearing? No trial?
The hearing will be held to see if there's
enough evidence to bring you to trial.
No use wasting the taxpayers' money
if we haven't got case against you.
Of course, what I have to say
might make the difference.
- What are you driving at?
- Ooh, nothing special.
Let's just say that, uh,
if you were let off
then maybe we could both
go after Red
-since you know what he looks like.
- Ha, ha.
Once I get out of here, I'm forgetting
lever saw you or this town or Red.
Well, what happens to you tomorrow
depends a lot on me.
And then there is
always that reward money.
Divided in two, it means
2000 apiece.
[CHUCKLES]
All right, Light Fingers.
If I get out of here,
we look for Red and the money.
I knew you were too civic-minded not to.
Better put some cotton in your ears, Collins.
He's liable to fast-talk you
-into letting him walk right out of here.
- Ha, ha, not a chance.
EDWARDS:
See you at the hearing.
COLLINS: Judge may think you're caught
in the middle of this, but I don't.
Neither does anybody else
in this town.
You must've had some money
in that bank.
Most of us did.
But that ain't the reason.
Edwards doesn't bring a man back
unless he's guilty.
Wasn't anybody to bring back
except me.
And he didn't relish going back
empty handed.
The time before, we had to saw him
loose from that baggage car.
He didn't have you with him then,
did he?
- What's Edward saying?
- He don't.
Maybe that's why he's so anxious
not to have that trial.
Something tells me I'm gonna
sleep real good tonight.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
Sheriff, that thieving galoot
tell you where our money's hid yet?
Doesn't seem to know much about that.
Then you ought to be back there
right now getting it out of him.
Think I should beat it out of him?
- Look, we all had money in that bank.
- Every cent I saved was in there.
Same with me, but the longer he stalls,
gives his partner more time to get it.
His partner won't risk coming back
till things quiet down.
- If it is his partner.
- What do you mean "if"?
There's just a chance that Maverick
doesn't know anything about that money.
It's up to the judge to decide now.
You just let me in that cell with him,
he'll be glad to tell me where it's hid.
Now, look, y'all asked me
to take this job.
As long as I have it,
we're gonna stick to the law
and that means that the prisoner
is innocent till we prove him guilty.
- You could've knocked.
- I'll take care of that on the way out.
I wanna talk to you.
Now that you're here, button me up.
You've been wanting
to get back to New York.
- Well, we're getting out of here tonight.
- Why all of a sudden tonight?
I was ready to leave this gopher hole
two months ago.
When I promise something, I deliver.
I know how we can lay our hands
on $80,000.
Now, does that sound worthwhile
leaving for?
I'd even stay for that.
- What do we have to do?
- I'll tell you later.
Right now, you better get out there
and entertain your public.
Turk, you just can't say something like that
and not explain it.
I said later.
They'll ask questions
if you don't get out there.
Well, I'll probably lose my voice
in the middle of the number.
What voice?
[GLASS BREAKS]
Do exactly what I tell you, Collins,
and you won't get hurt.
Don't try it.
Drop your gun belt, Collins.
Now, go over and unlock the door.
Now go over and unlock the cell.
Turk, you're doing a fool thing.
Give it up now, before it's too late.
Let's go.
- Go where?
-out.
We're doing you a favor.
Act like you appreciate it.
I don't know you.
Why should you break me out of here?
- Haven't got time to explain, get going.
- Look
I like it here fine. Why don't you just
go away and leave me alone?
Not a chance.
I appreciate your concern,
but I can't take your offer.
Forget you ever saw me.
By tomorrow I'll be a free man
-and everything'll be just fine.
- We haven't got all night.
Look, mister, it's too late for us
to turn back now.
Either you walk out
or they'll come and carry you out.
Now, let's get going.
BLANCHE:
Turk, don't.
Stone dead.
Now that's mighty considerate of Collins.
A shot would have attracted attention.
Try that again.
You don't need much reason to kill a man,
do you?
You can do your talking later,
when we wanna hear it.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[GRUNTS]
- I don't think he'll give you trouble.
- When will you be back?
Not until the night.
As long as I work bar during the day,
no one will connect me.
You're taking good care of yourself.
Doing as much for her?
Hate to disappoint you,
but I took real good care of her.
Just so it'll ease your mind,
I'll be back there entertaining tonight.
So you see, there'll always be
one of us here and one of us in town.
We're gonna stay right here
for along time, until you're ready to talk
and we're gonna be
a lot more comfortable than you are.
I don't think he likes me.
Too bad you picked a man like Turk.
What do you mean, too bad?
Well, he creates a problem.
If it was just you and me,
I might see things differently.
- What things?
- All that money.
You and I could do a lot with it.
Oh, come on.
You can do better than that.
Next you'll be telling me
he's not good enough for me
or that he'll walk out on me,
first chance he gets.
Well, I was thinking
of something like that
but I'll try to think
of something better.
Anyway, thanks for telling me
you do know where the money is.
Turk will be glad to hear that
when he gets back.
[LAUGHING]
So there I was sitting with three aces
and this lady standing behind me
drops her handkerchief
so I leaned over to pick it up.
That's when the other fella
turns up a royal flush.
He and this lovely lady
were working together
but in order to call him a cheat,
I had to include her.
So I took my licking like a man
and walked away.
[CHUCKLES]
But it's been along time
since I picked up another handkerchief.
[BOTH LAUGHS]
Oh, one thing I can say, you sure make
the time pass very pleasantly.
I wasn't looking forward to this.
Thank you, ma'am.
From the first time I looked at you, I was.
Turk won't appreciate that kind of talk
when I tell him about it.
No, you won't tell him, Blanche.
Turk's been up here two nights now. All he
does is ask questions and make threats.
I think you made him agree
not to rough me up.
Maybe, but don't count on me
holding him off forever.
He'll go along with it for a while,
but then he'll do things his way.
And I won't blame him
when the time comes
because you see, Mr. Maverick
$80,000 is more money
than I ever dreamed of.
I want it maybe even worse
than Turk does.
You want it bad enough
to share it with me?
You don't give up easily, do you?
You're afraid to think about it,
Blanche, aren't you?
But you ought to
because I don't plan to tell Turk
where the money is, just you.
Providing you see things my way.
Be a lot easier if you sat a little closer.
I can manage from here.
Afraid?
Of what? You're tied up.
That's not what I mean.
You think
I'm afraid to get too close to you?
Mm-hm.
Ha, well, I'm not.
I'll believe you when you prove it.
Well, that's not close enough
to prove anything, except what I said.
[CHUCKLES]
You better put that away.
Your hand's shaking like a pauper
in a high wind.
You're" You're imagining things.
I'm willing to be convinced.
What are you gonna do about us?
I don't know.
You better decide before he gets back.
Cut yourself loose, I'll get the horses.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Which way do we go?
If you stay on it,
it'll take you back to Elm City.
I'm going the other way.
Just what does that mean?
A man's tied up hand and fact, he isn't
responsible for some of the things he says.
I should've known better.
I told you the truth to begin with.
I don't know where the money is.
You make a worm look like a man.
Now, that's no way for a lady to talk.
When Turk finds out,
he'll tear you to pieces.
Especially when you tell him
you left him for me.
I'm sure you'll think
of something better.
Why, you--
[BART CHUCKLES]
It isn't so black, Blanche.
You can always tell him a fellow
by the name of Red broke me lose
that way he'll take you back.
If he doesn't, you'll know he would
have walked out on you, sooner or later.
I won't forget this.
I wish you'd try.
We'll find you.
You can count on it.
BART: I knew Red would have
his hands on that money by now.
But 1 got a good look at that map
enough to know just about
where the money had been buried.
1 could pick up his trail from there.
No, I ain't seen the two fellas
you're looking for.
But there was one fellow pass by here,
had black hair
wearing a buck-skin coat,
riding a sorrel horse, like you said.
- You sure he was alone?
- Yeah, he was alone.
Thanks.
They must have gotten separated.
Let's hope so, Blanche.
Let's hope there is a man name Red,
for your sake.
BART“.
I'd picked up Red's trail in Galesville
it brought me to Cottonwood,
and then it ran out.
But when you're tracking someone,
you leave a pretty broad trail yourself
and I'd been expecting Blanche and
her friend Turk to show up. They hadn't yet.
So when your luck runs out,
and you're bone tired
and you've got a belly full of dust,
there's only one thing to do.
Last time we did this
you were on the bed
-and I was standing where you are.
- A lot of things happened since then.
You should be a very prosperous man.
Mister, don't be funny.
Just what do you want?
- Where is it?
- Where is what?
You got a better look at that map
than I thought.
[CHUCKLES]
So you haven't got the money?
Instead of tying you up,
I should've put a bullet in you.
How did I get there before you?
By not having her along. Get off the bed.
Since the first time I ran into you,
I've been locked up
threatened, slugged,
tied hand and font
I've been charged with robbery
and murder and a few other things.
Right now, I'm getting pretty tired
of the whole thing
50 if you'll just go away, I'll forget
I ever saw you or heard of the money.
But I'm not willing.
You're the only one that saw that map.
And, mister, that money
didn't just fly away.
After what's happened,
anything's possible.
Where is it?
You won't believe me, but I went through
this with another happy couple like you.
You're prettier than she is,
but she's more cooperative.
You better get cooperative.
[SIGHS]
It seems everything's against
my catching my sleep.
I wouldn't wanna interfere with that,
so you just lay down there on the bed
and when it's dark, we're out of here.
Look, Red, this--
There's nothing more to talk about
unless you want to tell me right now
where you put my money.
All right, mount up, and ride out of town,
real easy.
Maybe from new on, you'll trust me.
All right, Blanche.
You got an apology coming.
Hold it. This makes three times
you've changed direction.
I told you, it's all in my head.
I got to keep remembering.
I wanna know where we're going.
You'll know when you get there.
That's the deal.
We didn't make no deal, you did.
Get off.
Place it right here in the dirt.
Just where we're going, and exactly
where you got the money hid.
You're lying.
I know every inch of this country
and there's no such place.
All right, Red.
The truth is
I don't know where the money is.
- Either you believe me or you don't.
- I don't.
And I don't think
you got guts enough to keep lying.
Wanna change your mind?
If I did, I'd just be putting it off
a little while longer, Red.
And we'd have to go through this
allover again.
Tell him what he wants to know.
Mister, he'll kill you next time.
You know, she just might be right.
I'm not a good enough shot
to keep missing.
I'm not a good enough liar to keep lying.
Don't make him do it, please.
I'm not looking forward to dying, Red.
There was some other way out of this,
I'd take it.
[GUNSHOT]
Now, that's not very friendly.
First I get you out of jail, save your neck,
then you try to take a shot at me.
That Red's girl?
Meet two friends of mine,
Blanche and Turk.
She's the one I said wasn't as pretty
as you, but more cooperative.
What do you mean, more cooperative?
Sorry, I told you I picked up
my last handkerchief.
You better make sense fast.
It isn't the kind of a thing
a gentleman likes to say, but, uh
I would have been tied to that bed
if she wasn't nice enough to cut me loose.
Uh-uh.
Blanche already told me
it was him that broke you out.
I ought blow your head off.
Before you do, talk to her about him.
She was with him every minute.
Is he telling the truth?
- What's it matter now?
- I want to know.
Red never helped him.
He said he knew where the money was.
He was gonna take me to it,
and then I was going to send for you.
You expect me to believe that?
I got more bad news for you, Turk.
I never did know
where the money was.
Just now he was using me as target practice
because I couldn't lead him to it.
- Or wouldn't.
- It's true.
If he'd known anything, he wouldn't have
let Red shoot at him like that.
If I knew where it was,
I wouldn't be here now.
I got to change my habits.
I've been believing the wrong people.
You were telling the truth all the way down.
I still think he knows where it is.
You can't get over what he done to you,
can you, Blanche?
Well, I'm convinced
he's telling the truth.
I told him the only thing that was keeping
him alive was knowing where the money is.
If that ain't worth lying for
than nothing is.
He's wanted back in Elm City
for killing a man named Collins.
A good friend of mine.
Me and Blanche
are gonna take him back.
Haven't you get things mixed up, Turk?
Unless you got something to stay for,
you can leave now.
The reward for bringing him back
ain't $80,000
but still a lot more
than we ever seen.
A minute ago,
you were ready to shoot me.
That was a minute ago.
He may get the urge again someday.
It won't work anymore.
You see, Blanche and me,
we got to stick together now.
When I left Elm City, the town had got up
a $5000 reward for bringing you in.
The reward sounds great,
but what happens when we get there?
He'll say it was us.
If they ever caught him,
he'd say it then too.
So let him say it.
We're bringing him in.
Who they gonna believe?
Law abiding citizens,
or a killer with a reward on his head?
Mount up,
they're waiting back in Elm City.
[HOOFBEATS APPROACHING]
EDWARDS:
Don't take that gun off him, Turk.
BART:
It's sure good to see you, Light Fingers.
I don't know why.
Where did you two run into him?
We didn't run into him,
I went looking for him.
Collins was a good friend of mine.
Not to mention the reward.
It was a personal matter, sheriff.
When we get back to Elm City,
I ought to make you a deputy.
A man like you is pretty rare
around here today.
I'm not asking for any thanks.
Just seeing him pay
for killing Collins will be enough.
Do you think
I could talk to you for a minute?
Oh, yeah.
He's been threatening me.
He said if I took him in, he'd tell everybody
I was in cahoots with him or something.
That I did it.
Well, you might as well hear it.
- It's good for a laugh.
- Is that right, Maverick?
You know, sheriff, every time I tell the truth,
I, uh, seem to wind up in trouble.
I just can't seem to get out of the habit.
Go ahead, we got lots of time.
The fact is, those two killed Collins.
Then they broke me out of jail
because of the money.
They thought I know where it was.
They even figured I'd be grateful enough
to share it with them.
Trusting souls, weren't they?
Why would I wanna break out, sheriff?
I had a deal.
I was practically a free man.
I don't even have to think about that.
You see, when you went after Red,
and the money, I'd have been with you.
You wouldn't have liked that.
You've got more answers
than I have, sheriff.
But how did I hit
that deputy hard enough to kill him?
What did I use?
How'd I get him to open the cell?
Lot of folks are trying to figure out howl
happened to be handcuffed to a baggage car.
You know, where you're concerned,
a lot of things can happen, generally do.
[BART GROANS]
Well, given up already?
[CHUCKLES]
Pappy taught me never to play
the second best hand.
I'll wait for the next deal.
[EDWARDS SNORING]
[GRUNTS]
Stay where you are.
Don't make another move.
What happened?
Sheriff, I just turned over in my sleep.
When I try to escape,
you won't know until it's happened.
Turk, I can't take any more
chances with him.
If he got away from me again
I'd never be able to go back to Elm City.
I'll take over.
You sure you can keep your eyes open
long enough, Light Fingers?
I'll ain't taking them off of you
till I get you back to Elm City.
I'll sleep much better
knowing you're looking after me.
Uh-huh.
BART:
Ah.
Sheriff, I got a proposition for you.
No, you haven't.
I don't wanna go back to Elm City.
I got an idea folks back there
might be just a trifle unfriendly.
They might not even wait for me to come
to trial, and what I want most is atrial.
Elm City's where I got to take you.
See, that's where you're wanted.
If you take me to the county seat
and put a good guard around me
-I'll tell you something.
- Just what might that be?
Where the money is, naturally.
I buried it, and I'll take you to it.
Is it worth trading for?
You know, in spite of all the evidence
against you, right up until this minute
I thought maybe you were innocent.
Right from the beginning,
I felt that way.
That is, up until now.
I didn't believe you knew
where the money was.
Maybe you weren't even
in on that hold-up.
Sorry to disappoint you, sheriff.
- But is it a deal?
- No deal.
You see, I happen to know
where the money is.
Right now, it's back in the Elm City bank.
A bunch of kids found it
when they were digging a tunnel.
I had to go pick it up, otherwise
I'd have had you back there before now.
- Suppose you got an answer to that too.
- It really doesn't matter.
No, no, go right ahead.
Why deprive us of your bedtime stories?
All right. I won't.
I was gonna take you to a place
point it out and tell you
that's where the money was buried.
Then Turk would have tried to
gun us down to take it all himself
but I would have been ready for him,
and I figured you would be too.
I know. I know it's just a waste of words.
But I went to the trouble to figure it out
-I thought someone ought to hear it.
- Yeah.
You ought to put it to music, Maverick.
It makes a mighty sad song.
But right now we're starting back.
And incidentally, we're going to Elm City.
[GUNSHOT]
[HOOFBEATS APPROACHING]
Turk, take that side.
Blanche, get over behind that rock
and stay there.
Don't even breathe, sheriff,
I'm looking right down your back.
Take that gun by the barrel
and pass it to me.
[SIGHS]
If I had any sense,
I'd shoot you new and keep going.
I played this hand bad enough
from the start, so I change now.
I'm gonna give you this gun back,
but first we're gonna make one more deal.
I wanna talk to Blanche
for just five minutes.
- Then you can take me back.
- Hold a gun on her, she'll say anything.
- Won't prove a thing.
- I know that. We got a deal?
Haven't got much choice.
- Spotted him yet?
- You haven't seen me.
No. Not yet.
All right, sheriff,
just one more thing.
Give me time to get to her
and fire a shot.
Are you sure
you know what you're doing?
No. But why start new?
Do you know any reason
why I shouldn't kill you new?
I'm gonna give you one chance to live,
if you tell the truth.
I want you to yell it out
so the sheriff can hear you.
I want you to tell him
who really killed Collins.
I'll see you get an honest shake
when we get back.
Turk did the kill and not you.
I'll testify how you turned me loose up
at the cabin, that'll be in your favor.
As soon as I open my mouth,
Turk will kill me.
I'll be here to see he doesn't.
You keep your head down and yell out.
All I'm asking is you tell him the truth.
[GUNSHOT]
- Did you get him, Sheriff?
- No.
If you're gonna do it, do it now.
Sheriff Edwards, let Maverick go.
Turk's the man you want.
He killed your deputy, not Maverick.
Don't pull that trigger, Turk.
You got it all wrong, sheriff.
I wasn't trying to get her,
it was Maverick.
Sure. You got a gun
that shoots around corners.
Well, look, he had a gun on her.
He'd make her say anything.
Ain't that right, Blanche?
Give me that rifle, Maverick.
All right, he hasn't got a gun on her now.
Blanche, you got anything to tell me?
He was gonna kill you, Blanche.
What I just said was true.
- He did it.
- Why, you-- Unh.
Don't put temptation
in my way again, Turk.
Collins was really a friend of mine.
Get on your horse.
What are you gonna tell them
in Elm City
about how they had to cut you
from the baggage car?
Won't have to tell them anything,
new that you're not going to trial.
