00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00Step right up, folks, just a little closer, please, and marvel at the greatest show on earth.
01:18You don't have to buy a thing, folks.
01:20And I'll meet Princess Laffin' Eyes, who will thrill you with her golden voice.
01:24Ladies, notice the whiteness of her skin.
01:31And she was born a full-blooded Kickapoo Indian.
01:35If you, too, want a complexion of Patrician power, just take Princess Laffin' Eyes herb compound.
01:41Why, it'd make sitting bull look like a ghost.
01:44And here's Mr. William J. Brady.
01:49He's performed before the crowned heads of Europe, Asia, and the South Sea.
01:54Step up a little closer, folks.
01:56Prepare to be amazed at his death-defying exhibition of revolver marksmanship.
02:00Step up, folks, step up!
02:02Up, down, all over the town, they're lookin' for Joe O'Grady.
02:10He's about so high, and his one good eye finds every bar in the town.
02:17Here, there, and most everywhere, they're crackin' down Joe O'Grady.
02:22When they get poor Joe, you will see him go down to the old county jail.
02:29Where is Joe?
02:30Where is Joe?
02:32Has anyone seen Joe O'Grady?
02:35There's a room for him and a broom for him down at the county caboose.
02:42Up, down, all over the town, they're lookin' for Joe O'Grady.
02:46I'd like to have him gunnin' for some fellas, I know.
02:48Well, this town needs a man like that for sheriff.
02:51When Joe O'Grady goes out, they love us.
02:55This would be a swell spot for me to try my walk over.
02:58Rick, you've tried that stuff 50 times.
03:00I ain't gonna have you spoilin' things now.
03:02His wife got old, and Joe's gettin' younger each day.
03:06Where is Joe, where is Joe?
03:10Has anyone seen Joe O'Grady?
03:12There's a room for him and a broom for him
03:16down at the county caboose.
03:18Where's the suckers?
03:41There wasn't ten men at the barn or a dozen tickets sold for the show all day.
03:44It's that medicine show, Jake.
03:45Rick, it's drawin' like flies to a molasses bear.
03:48What medicine show?
03:49You know I don't get up till five in the afternoon.
03:51Oh, Professor somebody, he's got a very good act.
03:54Well, what are you waitin' for?
03:55Get the sheriff and them run out of town.
03:58Oh, Marty, did you get hold of Ripper?
04:01I want that store taken care of tonight.
04:04The Ripper's due in town now.
04:06Something ought to pop any minute.
04:08Hmm, well, it better.
04:09Well, what are you doing here, Whiskers?
04:14You've been breaking the law by putting a show on here without a license.
04:18License?
04:19You mean a two-bit town like this ask for a license?
04:22Now, Pa, how much is the license?
04:24We'll buy one right now.
04:25The mayor's a man for that, and he's out of town.
04:28Besides, he's mighty careful about selling licenses to disruptible characters.
04:33Disruptible?
04:33Listen, my Uncle Marmaduke Blackstone's brand of fish glue is known from one end of the
04:40stage to the other.
04:41Disruptible?
04:42Why, you...
04:42We're gonna leave this town peaceable-like.
04:45You don't mind if we eat our supper first?
04:47You've gotta get out of here right now.
04:49Get packed up and make it quick.
05:03Come on, Bill, and hand over your cash box.
05:18There's nothing in it.
05:19I keep my money in the bank.
05:27Look out!
05:33You told Jim he's done for.
05:54Hurry, or we'll be lying there with him.
06:03You can't fight that whole gang.
06:08And the sheriff's no good.
06:10We gotta clear out of here or they'll get us all.
06:11Follow me.
06:12You better head for Laramie Gap, Mr. Belden.
06:14You and your money will be safe there.
06:16Laramie Gap?
06:17Well, how can they ever get there?
06:18And even so today, I can ride a horse.
06:21But I can still run.
06:25Where's the girl?
06:25I don't know.
06:26I don't know where she will.
06:29Come on.
06:30Take her!
06:33What happened?
06:34The sheriff's running us out of town as usual.
06:37Well, get going in a hurry, Gabby.
06:38I'll tell you about it later.
06:39Get her, Crowley!
07:04Get her, Crowley!
07:05Which way is Laramie Gaff?
07:07Straight ahead.
07:09If this wagon can cut through the hills...
07:11This wagon can cut through anything except the stake.
07:13Come on, Charlie.
07:35Can you see him?
07:39Not yet.
07:41I know them probably wouldn't have the nerve to tackle this outfit.
08:05You can't do it.
08:11Whoever's doing that shooting is helping us.
08:13I'm heading up there. You go on.
08:31You're all right. I'm from the medicine wife.
08:35You're going to get through here. Let's go back.
08:39What?
08:41No, you're all right.
08:43No!
08:44No!
08:47You're the only one and one other.
08:50Anchor!
08:51I can't get through here. Let's go back.
08:53I can't get through here. Let's go back.
08:59No!
09:00No!
09:01Well, he's done for.
09:14That's one more to chalk up against Ripper.
09:16Well, I don't know who you are or who Ripper is, but thanks for that.
09:19Don't thank us, stranger.
09:20Ripper was after you. That's good enough for us.
09:23Every man here was run out of Deadwood by him.
09:26That was some mighty fancy shooting you was doing there.
09:29Say, ain't you Beth Stoller?
09:31That's all over. It's Bill Brady now.
09:33Well, you look good enough to me, no matter who you are.
09:51It's all right, Gabby.
09:57This is Clem Littlejohn.
09:59That's Andy Baker and Bert Snell.
10:03And Colorado Jack Breen.
10:06And the fellow that rode that horse was Matt Bennett.
10:09He was sort of the boss, so to speak.
10:11It's sure a tough losing him.
10:12Matt Bennett?
10:14The one all the reward notices are out for?
10:16Then you are the gang that killed my clerk and busted up my store tonight.
10:18Why, no.
10:21That can't be.
10:22You were here.
10:24Then who in front of were those men chasing us?
10:27That was Ripper and his gang.
10:28We've been getting blamed for everything they do.
10:30That Bennett was as fond a man as ever lived.
10:33Me and him aimed on starting up a liver stable down in Deadwood.
10:36Until Ripper come along.
10:38Well, let's be getting back to camp.
10:40Fire would feel mighty good about now.
10:42Yeah, and a little food.
10:43You've got food up here, haven't you?
10:45Well, the best in the world.
10:47Colorado Jack Breen there brought in some venison.
10:49I never saw such leather carbon.
11:09Someone here do work like that?
11:11Yeah, Andy there used to run a saddle store in town
11:13until Ripper's gang robbed him of his last cent and left him for dead.
11:16Then all of you were in business in Deadwood?
11:18Or trying to get in.
11:20Bert Snell yonder no sooner hit town to start up a restaurant
11:22until Ripper cleaned him.
11:24Well, how come they can get away with it?
11:25Aren't there any good folks in Deadwood?
11:27With all these mines booming,
11:28no one's got time to look after the other fella.
11:31And besides, most of the decent citizens are tenderfeet like me
11:34and not much good against a man like Ripper.
11:37Say, do you know that girl that sent us up here?
11:42She sort of saved our bacon.
11:43Yeah, Linda Barrett.
11:45She worked for Ted Carver.
11:46He wrote the newspaper that's trying to clean up this town.
11:49Say, how did she come to know about you people?
11:51Her dad is my best friend.
11:53He got held up and killed last year.
11:55He found a secret way in here.
11:57Then there's another entrance?
11:58Yeah, and it sure comes in handy when the sheriff's after you.
12:01Well, we owe her some thanks.
12:02I think I'll head down that way tomorrow and deliver them personally.
12:06You better not, young fella.
12:07Likely you won't come back.
12:08How does this sound, Linda?
12:15The city of Deadwood must realize that it is indeed a city
12:18with all the civic responsibilities that this entails.
12:21What if we are 200 miles from a railroad?
12:24Our mines have brought us wealth, theaters, even a telephone exchange,
12:28one of the first of these newfangled contraptions west of the Mississippi River.
12:32It's high time we settle down.
12:34It's all right as far as it goes.
12:36Well, don't think I won't lambaste him about that cold-blooded murder at Seth Belden's store.
12:40I'm going to ask where Sheriff Jordan was while that was going on.
12:44Makes my blood boil to think you're being endangered by a pack of ruffians like that.
12:48Shouldn't you point out those people at Laramie Gap are being blamed for Ripper's work?
12:52I know it was Ripper.
12:53I saw him with my own eyes.
12:55I know it, Linda, but I can't say it.
12:57The minute Ripper finds out I know too much about him, I'm a dead man.
13:00What about the Civic League?
13:02Can't they do anything?
13:03Not until we get a new sheriff and some law in this town.
13:08Why, what are you doing here?
13:10Well, I just come back to thank you, ma'am.
13:12We got away all right.
13:13Don't you know that whole gang's out gunning for you?
13:16I don't reckon they got too good a look at me.
13:18Besides, I bought myself a new shirt and a new hat.
13:21Maybe that'll fool them.
13:22Do you really think so?
13:23I'm afraid you might be out looking for trouble.
13:26Not me, ma'am.
13:27Anyway, I'd hate to think anybody could keep me from coming to see you.
13:31I admire your courage, fellow, but I doubt your wisdom.
13:34This is the...
13:35Bill Brady.
13:36Mr. Connors.
13:37Howdy.
13:39Still, maybe that's what we need in this town.
13:41A little more courage and a little less wisdom.
13:43Mister, you sure have a pleasant way of calling a man crazy.
13:47You going out, ma'am?
13:48Yes, I'm going to interview Mrs. Green, the postmaster's wife.
13:51She's just had twins.
13:52Do you mind if I walk a ways with you?
13:54I'd like to find out more about this town.
13:57See you again.
13:59Now, that's what I call a right, fast-moving young fellow.
14:03Yes, isn't it?
14:08This coach is covered with iron plates.
14:10First one ever saw like that.
14:12Nobody's ever held up that stagecoach yet.
14:14And millions of dollars have traveled to the railroad in it.
14:17Jump!
14:18Jump!
14:18Sure.
14:27Right away.
14:29Goodbye.
14:31Hey, Monty.
14:33Come in here.
14:36What are you doing awake so early?
14:38That medicine show fellow's back in town.
14:40The one Ripper ran into last night.
14:41Where is he?
14:42Walking along with a barred girl, calm as you please.
14:44This town's got to learn nobody can shoot back at us and get away with it.
14:48Take care of him.
14:49I'd rather wait and let Ripper handle him.
14:51I said take care of him.
14:52Sure, boss.
14:57Mrs. Green can't see me for a few minutes.
14:59I'll have to wait.
15:00That's all right.
15:01I'll wait with you.
15:04They deserve a better town to go up in.
15:07You seem to intend to stay here.
15:09Why?
15:10Well, for one thing, I like the people.
15:12There's basically one of them.
15:14Besides, business was so good, Gertie, that I'd like to fix it so we could put a show on here.
15:19Anyway, I've been batting around the country so long that I'd kind of like to settle down.
15:24Some place like Deadwood.
15:26Isn't there another reason?
15:29Those men at the Gap.
15:31You'd like to help them, wouldn't you?
15:32I know Brett Starr would.
15:34What do you know about Brett Starr?
15:37Well, I work for a newspaper, and all our news doesn't come from Deadwood.
15:41What's that got to do with me?
15:43The press service sent us a photograph of Brett Starr.
15:46Of course, we weren't equipped to print it.
15:48I don't reckon I can out-talk a photograph, but I like Bill Brady better.
15:54I'd be proud to be Brett Starr.
15:56I was born in the West, and I know there can be good reasons for shooting.
16:00Maybe.
16:00Maybe.
16:00Oh, excuse me, young fellow.
16:21What do you intend to do with him?
16:23You surely don't mean to put him in jail, do you?
16:24That's exactly what I aim to do.
16:26Well, I admire the gesture, but I warn you, that little weasel won't stay there long.
16:31Do you know him?
16:32Well, I ought to.
16:32I'm the judge here.
16:33But I never get a chance to try the men I'd like to.
16:37And Monty Burns here is one of them.
16:39What's your name, young fellow?
16:40Bill Brady.
16:41Judge Gary.
16:42Glad to know you, Judge.
16:43I want to see the look on the sheriff's face when you hand Monty over to him.
16:47This fellow just threw a knife at me, and that's attempted murder in any man's town, even in Deadwood.
17:00Slap some iodine on him and lock him up.
17:03Do it, you know what it'll get you.
17:09Are you going to lock him up, or do I have to?
17:17Why can't you convict any of these men?
17:27Aren't you a federal judge?
17:28The sheriff makes sure that I never get the evidence.
17:31They're afraid to harm a federal judge for fear it'll bring in the troops.
17:34But my court is just a mockery.
17:37Isn't there somebody in town who can do something about that?
17:39Well, there's the Civic League.
17:40I've talked to them, but nothing happens.
17:43Well, maybe we can do something about it, Judge.
17:44Well, I wish you luck, Brady.
17:46Thanks.
17:47Thanks for the Civic League.
17:53As you know, the Seth Belton store ceased to compete last night.
17:56I timed the way he was undercutting my prices at the Emporium.
18:00So, under our agreement, we owe Ripper $2,500 for relieving us of Belton's competition.
18:04$2,500?
18:06Why, Seth Belton wasn't doing that much business.
18:09Ripper's costing us a lot more than we expected in the beginning.
18:12Mr. Stark, will you please collect the money from the gentleman?
18:15You got no kick at paying, Ripper?
18:20Ripper, considering he and his men knocked over 32 miners last month.
18:25For a total of $26,000, of which we took a 50-50 split for spotting the prospects in our business establishments.
18:33I'd like to take a look at those figures.
18:38They look all right.
18:39Ripper, when I swore I spotted more than 32 prospects in my store alone.
18:44You can't expect Ripper to get them all.
18:47And when you figure that you doubled your profit by selling those fool miners their outfits,
18:52and then collected their take, Ripper's doing plenty.
18:55Maybe so.
19:02That medicine show gunman Brady brought in Monty here.
19:05Judge Gary was with him, and I had to lock him up for a few minutes.
19:08What do you want me to do with him?
19:09Do?
19:10Nothing, of course.
19:13But the bail.
19:15Don't you think I would have a little bail?
19:17Yeah.
19:18Mighty little.
19:19Here's a dollar.
19:20Buy yourself a drink.
19:24What happened?
19:25I missed him, and he got me in the arm.
19:27He's greased lightning with a gun.
19:30Nothing to worry about, gentlemen.
19:32This Bill Brady seems to be pretty tough, but we'll take care of him.
19:35Well, I think the main business of the meeting's been attended to.
19:39Shall we adjourn to my bar?
19:40Yes.
19:53Give this $12.50 to Ripper and tell him to see me.
20:05Howdy, folks.
20:25Hello, Bill.
20:26Well, you're back and alive.
20:30Here's something for you, Gabby.
20:32Sure, it'll be a bill.
20:37I haven't got anything else in my whole life.
20:41Why don't you open it?
20:43It's been getting along all right for seven months.
20:45No need to bother it now.
20:47I met Judge Gary today, Clem.
20:49He claims he can do something if we give him the right kind of evidence.
20:52But that's hard to get.
20:53It might not be, if we can find out why Ripper's been keeping the folks from starting up in business.
20:57Well, I've always said he was doing it for that Civic League.
21:01But Ted Carver always writes in his paper that the Civic League is for law and order.
21:06But maybe Ted Carver's been fooled.
21:08That league is made up of all the big businessmen in Deadwood.
21:11Maybe they're trying to kill off comp trying to petition.
21:14You notice they never invited Seth Belden to join them.
21:17They're none of the rest of them newcomers in Deadwood.
21:19If they were honest, a fellow like Jake Marvel couldn't belong to them.
21:24Why, it's as plain as day.
21:26Ripper works for Marvel.
21:28Marvel works for the Civic League.
21:31Sheriff works for all of them.
21:33What you fellas have been needing is somebody to figure these things out for you.
21:37That's right.
21:38And do something about it.
21:40You're darn tootin'.
21:42We've been thinking we need someone to show us how to clean up Deadwood.
21:47So we can go back there again.
21:48Well, of course, I didn't mean to hint.
21:52So we're asking you, Bill, if you'll take the job.
21:56Thanks.
21:57I'll do what I can, but I can't do it here.
21:59Hey, Gabby, I just found out today that the sheriff can't keep us from putting on her show.
22:04As if we stay on the outside of the city limit.
22:06Let's go down tomorrow and set up and business right on the edge of the town.
22:10Yeah, what about Ripper?
22:11Won't he be shooting us up?
22:12Ripper?
22:13You just leave Ripper to me.
22:15That is Bill and me.
22:19That is Bill and me.
22:19That is Bill and me.
22:38We're heading down on the rangeland
22:41And we're heading down the trail
22:45Didn't I tell you business is booming, Deadwood?
22:47This is nearly all that's left.
22:49While you're selling that, I'll mix up another batch.
22:51That is, if I ain't all out of rattlesnake juice.
22:54We're heading down on the rangeland
22:56And the herd is looking frail
23:00Hear that maverick ball
23:02He'll be missing his mom tonight
23:06Give me that letter
23:08If anybody thinks we're going to pay him anything
23:10We might as well find out who it is
23:24I saw the last one
23:25Oh, don't bother me with such trivial matters
23:27Read that, read it, read what it says
23:30I don't think it says what I think it says
23:32Please be advised that from the estate of your Uncle Marmaduke W. Blackstone, deceased
23:38You have been willed a sum of $36,000
23:42Read that last part again
23:44$36,000?
23:45That's what I thought it said
23:47Three, six, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
23:50This money will be forwarded upon your order
23:53But what are you going to do?
23:55Telegraph office in town, anything?
23:57The wire flush thing in the morning
23:58Then you send it to the bank
23:59Oh, oh, we're rich
24:02Get along, get along, get along, old pal
24:06Down the train
24:15Alright, Princess, it's your turn to sing
24:17Sing? I'm going to do more than sing
24:20Something I can do for you, sir?
24:36This is no minor transaction
24:38I should like to see the president
24:40I'm the president
24:41Well, I'm Blackstone, Professor Mortimer Blackstone
24:46I'm expecting some money by wire from New York
24:49Did he get here?
24:51I'm very glad to know you, Professor
24:52Yes, it came a half hour ago
24:55I have the confirmation here
24:57Rather a large amount
24:59A mere trifle
25:00I'll take it from $1,000 bills
25:02And from small chains
25:05You have some identification, of course
25:07Of course, certainly, certainly
25:11We don't have many calls for $1,000 bills
25:13But I think I can find enough to cover this amount
25:16Just a moment, please
25:17Here you are
25:19I had a hard time rounding it up
25:22Hmm
25:23Issued by the 3rd Avenue Bank in New York, eh?
25:26Nice little city in New York
25:28Got a fine zoo there
25:30If you don't mind my saying so
25:32That's a lot of money to carry around this town
25:34I'd be glad to keep it on deposit here for you
25:36Don't think nothing of it
25:38Why, I've been taking care of large sums all my life
25:42Besides, I've got a lady here
25:44Heh
25:45Hmm
25:46So that's how you're spending your money
26:00Why, my dear child
26:02A few paltry dollars mean nothing to the Blackstone family
26:05Heh
26:06Hey
26:07You ain't never had no fancy clothes like them yourself
26:08Oh, think nothing of it, Papa
26:09A few paltry dollars mean nothing to the Blackstone family
26:10Heh
26:11Heh
26:12Hmm
26:13Hmm
26:14Hmm
26:15Oh, my dear child
26:16A few paltry dollars mean nothing to the Blackstone family
26:19Heh
26:20Heh
26:21Hey
26:22You ain't never had no fancy clothes like them yourself
26:25Oh, think nothing of it, Papa
26:28A few paltry dollars mean nothing to the Blackstone family
26:31Heh
26:32Heh
26:33Come here
26:34Come here
26:35Come here
26:36Come here
26:37Come here
26:38Come here
26:39Come here
26:40Come here
26:41Come here
26:42Come here
26:59I was gonna be an opera singer
27:00And perform before the crown heads of Europe
27:02Europe. I can abort six elephants, four gyraps, a gorilla. I heard about your robbery. I can't
27:09tell you how sorry I am. This is what we've been up against for years. Well, I'll write another
27:14editorial. I might as well write them in water for all the good they do. If Jake Marvel's a man
27:19ripper works for, he must bank a lot more money than any theater owner has a right to. Are you
27:23hinting, Chef? If we found out $35,000 entered at the bank in Jake Marvel's name, wouldn't that
27:29be enough evidence for Judge Gary to act? We thought of that, but... Well, we tried to
27:32get a court order to check a lot of those accounts, but the judge can't issue one without more
27:37evidence. Then why don't we break into the bank and take a look for ourselves? I suppose
27:41that would be technically a criminal act, but we can't think about that now. It's just what
27:46the judge has been waiting for. Well, what are we waiting for? Here it is.
27:59Here it is. This way, Gabby. It's our only chance. Coming out the front.
28:22Here is the Blavatioon.
28:24Number two.
28:26Here it is.
28:30Here it is.
28:32Here it is.
28:34From the other.
28:37Here it is.
28:42For opposing angle there's a choice between others.
28:49Well, what happened? Didn't you get them?
29:07Not one of them.
29:08Brady and that old mesquite bush got away.
29:11I know what's going to happen before it even begins.
29:14And you two fools can't carry out a simple order.
29:17Wait here.
29:19Well, we couldn't use the law against Bill Brady before, but we can now.
29:34Get a warrant out for that medicine show bunch.
29:37Then deputize the Ripper here and all his men.
29:41We're going to give that sniveling judge some men to hang that he ain't been expecting.
29:47Where's Andy?
29:48Sheriff Jordan shot him.
29:50I reckon we're all outlaws now, Clem.
29:51What'd you find out?
29:52We got the book, but we haven't had a chance to read it yet.
29:55Let's see now.
29:56M for Marble.
29:58Oh, yes.
29:58Here it is.
29:59Marble.
30:00J. Departes this week, $613.22.
30:04Withdrawals, $521.
30:06Present balance, $1,635.24.
30:10Well, that don't sound like much for Marble.
30:11Oh, no.
30:12Anybody running a big theater and bar?
30:14Charging the kind of prices he does.
30:16He ain't departing my $35,000.
30:18Well, maybe Marble ain't back a Ripper after all.
30:20Well, I'm betting he is.
30:22A man like that might figure he'd have to get out of Deadwood in a hurry.
30:25You mean he sends his money, I mean my money, outside?
30:28He could send it on that treasure coast to Cheyenne, Denver, or any place.
30:32Ain't that a plum, hideous sort?
30:34My money's already in Cheyenne or even Chicago?
30:40It can't be, Gabby.
30:41That treasure coach only goes out once a week.
30:43And it doesn't leave again until tomorrow.
30:45Then Jake Marble must have my money around somewhere.
30:47Yeah, but he ain't gonna keep it around where we can get out until that coach leaves.
30:50I can identify it, too.
30:52Them's the only $1,000 bills around.
30:54And the bank would have the numbers.
30:56That'd sure be evidence to Judge Gary.
30:58I guess no one could stick up that coach.
31:01Not with all them guards inside where you can't get at them.
31:05Say, Gabby.
31:08Remember all that experiment you was telling me about?
31:10I'll never forget it.
31:12You're right, Bill.
31:13That coach is plum unrobable.
31:16Now that you remind me,
31:17I sure come across some mighty strange things when I was inventing my elixir.
31:22What are you two driving at?
31:24Things are bad enough now without you getting yourself shot up or put in jail.
31:27Why, daughter, ain't we just been saying it can't be done?
31:31Well, I guess I'll return to my laboratory.
31:35I just feel like doing a little experiment.
31:37If there'd been another press in town, I could have refused the business.
31:52I can't understand it.
31:54Sheriff Jordan's never around when he's needed.
31:57How he managed to be on hand when the boys were leaving the bank...
31:59Just bad luck.
32:00And the killing of poor Andy Baker gives them proof that the Laramie Gap gang are outlaws.
32:05And Bill wanted to settle in dead for it.
32:08Linda.
32:10Are you sorry for his sake alone?
32:14I thought perhaps you were one of the reasons Bill wanted to stay.
32:17Of course not.
32:18I hardly knew him.
32:20I'm glad to hear that.
32:21You must know how I feel about you, Linda.
32:26Although I suppose this isn't quite the place for what I was about to say.
32:29Then maybe you'd better wait, Ted.
32:31I don't know.
33:01Why don't you keep that thing off the roads?
33:06We've got a schedule to make.
33:07Just hold your horses.
33:08We're trying to pull over now.
33:23What's the idea of backing into me that way?
33:25Don't you know how to drive?
33:26Now you've got us all jammed up.
33:28Back in.
33:31$35,000.
33:41I'll show them.
33:42Come on, get down.
33:52Come on, get over there.
34:00Get over there.
34:02If you'd known what was in that smoke, you'd feel even worse.
34:26Third Avenue Bank, New York.
34:42Here it is.
34:42This don't say, Jake Marvell.
34:47Theodore Carver, First National Bank, Chicago, Illinois.
34:53Well, it ain't only incredible, it's downright unbelievable.
34:58Theodore Carver.
35:00That's bound to be Ted Carver.
35:01No two ways about it.
35:02How much is there?
35:04$12,000 even.
35:05Then we aren't getting it all back after all.
35:07Here's Jake Marvell's.
35:10And here's five more of your $1,000 bills, Gabby.
35:13Consigned to the Drover's Bank in Cheyenne.
35:16Maybe Marvell is just using Ted Carver's name.
35:19Then why would Marvell send some of them his own name too?
35:22It doesn't make sense.
35:24Unless Carver's really the man behind all this.
35:27But what about Linda?
35:28She works for Carver.
35:29I'll never believe she's mixed up in it.
35:32Here's three more.
35:35Say, there are three in all six of these envelopes.
35:39That makes the other 18,000, Gabby.
35:42Michael Barton.
35:43Say, doesn't he run the livery stable?
35:45Yeah, and here's Richard Sneed, owner of the General Store.
35:48And D.L. Stark and Harold Hughes.
35:50Why, he's the express agent.
35:52And Peter Wilson.
35:53Say, that's the Civic League.
35:55All these fellas belong to it.
35:57We've got some tall fingers to do, and we can't do it here.
36:00Let's head for the gap.
36:18Say, I just got a bunches from Rockport Station.
36:21That gang from Larry McGabb just held up the goal coach.
36:23Bill Brady was with them.
36:24Where's the sheriff?
36:25Let's get up a posse.
36:26The sheriff can't handle this.
36:27We will.
36:28Bill Brady wouldn't do a thing like that.
36:30Coach guards couldn't have been mistaken about who held them up.
36:34Thanks, Joe.
36:35I'll get an extra out right away.
36:43I know it's bad for you, Linda.
36:45You thought a lot of Bill Brady.
36:47He did mean a lot to me, but I realize now I really never knew very much about him.
36:54Well, we've got to get out of next to him.
36:56I know.
36:57But the minute it's in time, I'm going to the gap.
37:00But Brady's probably left the country.
37:02Maybe he has.
37:04But if he's still there, I'm going to see him.
37:05We've just got another message at the express office.
37:18None of the bullion was taken.
37:20Just the currency.
37:21Whose currency?
37:22Every packet that contained one of those thousand dollar bills.
37:26It's clear now.
37:28Too clear.
37:28We've got to work.
37:31Work fast.
37:41Where are the others?
37:42They're guarding the past.
37:44We're expecting the posse to attack.
37:45I was afraid you might have left.
37:47Not me.
37:48Didn't I tell you once that I am to stay in Deadwood?
37:50Yes, but you didn't say anything about robbing stagecoaches.
37:53Was that your idea?
37:54It sure was, and it worked like a charm.
37:56But why?
37:57I was getting evidence for Judge Gary.
37:59You mean you didn't take anything?
38:01Nothing but the professor's money.
38:02And it certainly ain't no crime to take back what's yours.
38:05Then you got the evidence for the judge?
38:07We got the money all right.
38:08And it was under Jake Marble's name?
38:11It's hard to say, Linda, knowing how you feel about him.
38:14But an even dozen of Dad's bills were found consigned under Ted Carver's name.
38:18Ted Carver?
38:19You don't mean...
38:20We don't think you've got anything to do with it.
38:22We know you only work for him.
38:24You don't believe it.
38:25You don't think Ted's a thief.
38:26Well, he had the money.
38:29Somebody must be using his name.
38:31Ted's been fighting this sort of thing ever since he came here.
38:33It looked that way.
38:34Except then there's a skunk in the chicken coop.
38:37Do you remember when we decided to break into the bank?
38:39The sheriff and ripper come along just as pat as you please.
38:43The only man that could have tipped him off was Ted Carver.
38:45He was there when we planned the whole thing.
38:47Yeah, but he wasn't around when we figured out that stage holdup.
38:51And it come off slicker than a weasel.
38:54But you might as well accuse me.
38:56I was with you when you decided to break into the bank.
38:59I thought you had become a real bandit and I was wrong.
39:02Maybe you're making the same mistake about Ted Carver.
39:05Maybe.
39:06Will you do us a favor?
39:07Of course.
39:08Gabby, I don't think we ought to risk keeping your money around here.
39:11Huh?
39:12Young fella, are you even toying with some pernicious idea that I should let that $35,000 out of my hands?
39:20It's not only money, it's evidence.
39:22If a posse should break in here and take it away from us, everything would be wasted.
39:25I think Bill's right, Professor.
39:27And if he is right, which I ain't admitting, none whatsoever.
39:31Where is he going to put my money that's safer than here, where it belongs?
39:35I figured to have Linda take it to Judge Gary.
39:37That is, if you're willing to risk it.
39:39Then no matter what happens, the judge got the goods on him.
39:41That's right.
39:42He's the only one that can use that evidence.
39:44And the quicker we get it to him, the better.
39:46Well, daughter, it was nice while we had it.
39:50Here it is, in the same express company envelope them skunks shipped it in.
39:54Endorsed by them to their banks all over the country.
39:57And don't forget, young lady, you're carrying a hog-dad-blamed circus air.
40:02You better hurry on in, and as soon as it gets dark enough for me to slip into town, I'll get in touch with Judge Gary.
40:07If that posse don't get here first to sort of occupy your time.
40:26What'd you find out?
40:27Well, in the first place, I found a new entrance to the gap, straight across from Indian Rock.
40:30A hidden opening in the cliff.
40:32Hmm.
40:33Well, never mind that now.
40:34What about the girl?
40:34Well, I followed her to the camp.
40:36She went into the cabin.
40:37A few minutes later, when she rode away, I followed her until she got to the judge's house.
40:41And then I came here.
40:42You never got close enough to hear anything?
40:44Well, a guard's posted.
40:46I was afraid...
40:47You'd be afraid to get close to a rabbit.
40:48How do you do, Judge?
41:02How do you do?
41:03Linda, I heard you were here.
41:04I've been worried about you.
41:06What'd you find out the gap?
41:07They...
41:07They denied having anything to do with the stage holder.
41:12And Bill Brady, was he there?
41:14He must have found some sort of evidence, otherwise he wouldn't be here.
41:17Linda couldn't find out anything.
41:19That's what she came here to tell me.
41:20Maybe they were lying to me.
41:22I don't know what to think.
41:23This is a great disappointment to me.
41:25I had hoped to accomplish something at last.
41:27Well, there's still a paper to get out, you know.
41:40I'm going to the telegraph office and wire Fort Smiley for a troop of cavalry.
41:44This money is sufficient evidence for me to declare Deadwood under martial law and clean it up for good and all.
41:53Either Bill Brady lied to Linda or she and the judge are lying to me.
41:56The judge has got that money.
41:58We've got to get it.
41:58And that's your job.
41:59Mine.
42:00I don't like messing with the government.
42:02I said get it.
42:25Did you get it?
42:27Yeah.
42:27But I think he saw me.
42:30How hard did you hit him?
42:31I don't know.
42:31Pretty hard.
42:33I don't like being mixed up in this fed old stuff.
42:36That's a lot of money.
42:37I was thinking the same thing, boss.
42:39With that and what's already in Cheyenne, you and me could live mighty well someplace else.
42:43Yeah.
42:45If the judge dies, or if he lives to identify you, either way, there'll be soldiers coming in here.
42:50Yeah, and that Bill Brady's still on the loose.
42:52Well, we could get packed and out of here in time to catch the night stage.
42:55That's it.
42:55Let's get going.
42:56I don't have to ask if you got the money.
43:20Those suitcases get quite clear.
43:23Those are nice suits, aren't they, Jake?
43:26Better than you ever dreamed of wearing before I had you organized a civic league.
43:30It was fine while the going was easy, but you couldn't stand a little excitement, could you, Jake?
43:37Not while you could run out with my money.
43:38Well, we're going to put a stop for this.
43:48Hand it off for these killers to hold up the coach.
43:50Now they have to go in and murder Jake Marvel.
43:52Come on, let's pull that gap apart.
43:54Sure, there's 40 men here, champing at the bid.
43:57That editor fellow wants to see you before we leave for the gap.
44:01Wonder what he wants.
44:02You better stay here.
44:10Evening, Sheriff.
44:11Howdy.
44:12I felt it my civic duty to inform you that I've discovered a back entrance into Laramie Gap.
44:16Back entrance?
44:18I've been wondering how...
44:18I suggest that while part of your posse keep those outlaws busy at the gap itself,
44:22you and a few of your men attack them from the rear.
44:25Well, Carver, the way your paper's been running me down, I didn't expect any help from you.
44:30Well, I admit that my editorial policy's been against you,
44:32but that was before I discovered that Bill Brady and his gang were the real troublemakers.
44:37Now I'm as anxious as anyone to see them caught.
44:39That's fine.
44:40With your paper's support, we can do a lot around here.
44:43Well, just so long as it's honest.
44:45Now, if you're ready, I'll lead you into the back entrance to the gap.
44:49What I...
44:50Hello, Linda.
44:54Now that you've been at the scene of the murders, I want you to check that story I wrote.
44:58Old Harry's got it set up and tight.
45:00So you know about the back way?
45:01Of course.
45:03I would have kept it to myself if those friends of yours hadn't betrayed my confidence by robbing the treasure coach.
45:08Betrayed your confidence?
45:09You know why they did it.
45:11You know they aren't thieves.
45:15Harry!
45:16What's the matter?
45:17We're locked in.
45:18Have you a key?
45:19Why, no.
45:21How many do a thing like that?
45:23Oh.
45:28Who's that?
45:52Bill Brady.
45:53What happened?
45:55I was just coming back from the telegraph office.
45:58Monty Burns.
45:59Did he get the money?
46:00Yes, they got the money.
46:01I'm afraid we're licked.
46:02Will you be all right?
46:03Yes, yes, I'll be all right.
46:04Well, I'm going after Monty.
46:05Every man in town will be after you.
46:07I'll have to risk that.
46:08If Monty gives that evidence to Carver, he's completely in the clear.
46:13All right, I'll be seeing you, Bill.
46:14See Monty Burns?
46:18Monty Burns?
46:19Monty Bur...
46:20He's dead in a mackerel.
46:22Dead?
46:22Who killed him?
46:23That Laramie Gap bunch, I guess.
46:27Say, ain't you...
46:29Hey!
46:32Help!
46:33Get me out of here!
46:35Help, Bill Brady!
46:36Get those hands off the door!
46:37No!
46:37No!
46:37No!
46:37No!
46:37No!
46:38No!
46:38No!
46:38No!
46:39No!
46:39No!
46:40No!
46:40No!
46:41No!
46:41No!
46:42No!
46:42No!
46:43No!
46:44Get me out of here!
46:46Help!
46:47Linda!
46:47Somebody, quick!
46:48Get me out of here!
46:51Stand back!
46:55Ted's leading them through the back way into the gap.
46:57Ted's scary hurt, Linda.
46:58You'll have to look after us.
46:59Put the men out there.
47:00I'll try to scare him off long enough to...
47:02All right, I'm out of court!
47:14I hear somebody down there sure as you're a foot high.
47:30Yeah, it sounds like a lot of them.
47:37They're just waiting for sunup before the rushes.
47:40I'd better go back and wait to rest.
47:41It looks mean like we're going to have our hands full.
47:53We ought to be around back about sunrise.
47:55We'll start in when we hear you shooting.
47:57You better keep scattered out.
48:11Why not hit anybody but the sheriff's gang?
48:37We don't want no innocent blood on our hands.
48:40I can't see nothing but innocent blood to shoot at.
48:42Only gilly blood seems to be keeping to the rear.
48:52That's engine rock.
48:53So that must be the place over there.
48:55Monty said it was right across.
48:56Thought I heard a horse winning.
49:15The posse's keeping him busy.
49:32Laughing like rats in a trap.
49:33Drop your gun.
49:46We'll get him now.
50:03He cuts.
50:04We'll get him now, he can't stop all of us.
50:34We're close enough now, let's rush him.
50:45Never mind him, come on!
51:01Drop your guns, all of you!
51:22This district's under martial law, you're under arrest.
51:31Where's Bill Brady?
51:32Right here, Judge.
51:34Bill!
51:35Are you all right, Bill?
51:36I'm a lot better off than Carver.
51:38You got him, eh?
51:39Hello, Linda.
51:40Carver's lying right over there, and I'm betting he's got the money.
51:44How'd you fellas get here?
51:45They came from Fort Smiley in answer to my wire, and I brought them out as fast as I could.
51:49What about Gabby and the others?
51:51Gabby and his daughter are on their way over here.
