00:00We're walking out of here.
00:03You try anything and I'll touch this fuse.
00:06You're bluffing.
00:07Now, you drop it or I'll...
00:08Sure, you could pull that trigger, but I'd still have time to light this fuse.
00:11There wouldn't be anything you could do to get away from it.
00:13He ain't bluffing, Jody.
00:15You can see it in his eyes.
00:17He ain't that willing to die.
00:19You're right.
00:20But I'd rather go this way than be shot by you.
00:23We'll all be buried together.
00:28I'm counting three.
00:30Brett, get her out of here.
00:32Don't move.
00:33One.
00:34This ain't worth no thousand dollars.
00:36I'm leaving here.
00:37You're staying.
00:38Nobody leaves this place.
00:40We're all leaving.
00:42Two.
00:43I want to get out, too, Jody.
00:45If he touches that fuse, we're all dead.
00:48Good.
01:21Uh, pardon me. Will you...
01:24Maybe you could...
01:26Say, maybe you can help me.
01:31Can you tell me how to get to number 17, Rue Rubidux?
01:36Yeah, in Yowlands, we call it Rue Rubidux.
01:39Now, you take the first beat to your lap here,
01:42walk two blocks, turn right,
01:44and that's Rue Rubidux.
01:46Thanks kindly, friend.
01:51Hey!
02:04You in trouble already?
02:05What?
02:07Rue Rubidux!
02:07All right.
02:09You took your time getting...
02:10Hey!
02:12Hey.
02:13You better get in here before something else happens.
02:15Hey, Brett!
02:24Took you long enough.
02:25Why, I left just as soon as I got your telegram.
02:29The cattle book got hung up on a sandbar
02:31for four days north of Natchez.
02:32I thought I recognized the fine old cattle odor.
02:35There's hot water in a pitcher, go use it.
02:37Did you bring in a good suit?
02:39Yeah, my war bag.
02:39Say, uh, what about this once-in-a-lifetime deal
02:43you dragged me down here on?
02:45You never did learn how to take care of your clothes, did you?
02:47Never mind the clothes.
02:48What about the deal?
02:50Now, that can wait.
02:51Right now, we have to take on the impossible,
02:52making you look like a gentleman.
03:01How's your thousand-dollar bill?
03:02Still pinned in your pocket?
03:03You think I'd have worked my way downriver
03:05if I still had it?
03:06From the looks of this place,
03:07I'd say you parted with yours, too.
03:09Now, that's better, isn't it?
03:12Hey, thanks a lot.
03:17So, you're broke.
03:19Only for the moment, Bart.
03:20Only for the moment.
03:22Have you ever heard of the river princess?
03:24Lady friend?
03:26She's a brand-new steam packer.
03:28A regular floating palace.
03:30Real crystal chandeliers and gold-plated doorknobs.
03:33Now, tomorrow, she starts her maiden run to St. Louis.
03:36And the passengers on board will be the wealthiest in New Orleans.
03:40The cream of Creole society.
03:43What did I say?
03:44Ever heard about the Creole aristocrats?
03:46Oh, gambling fools, they tell me.
03:49And proud.
03:51So proud that they'd bet the last ruffle
03:53before they'd let anyone think that money meant a wrap to them.
03:57Are you with me?
03:57I'm waiting for you to catch up.
04:01What do we use for a steak?
04:03Well, first, we get a cabin suite on the river princess.
04:05With what?
04:10Oh, no.
04:11We'd like two tickets on the maiden voyage of the river princess, please.
04:23There are no tickets for sale for the maiden run of the river princess.
04:26The standing room will be fine.
04:28No one.
04:29But no one will be aboard.
04:31Except the personal guest of Monsieur Henri Deveraux himself.
04:34The invitations are already sent out.
04:36Not ours.
04:37You know Monsieur Deveraux?
04:40We will.
04:40Where could we find him?
04:43I can assure you it would be a waste of time for you gentlemen.
04:47Would you like...
04:47Could I interest...
04:49Sir, are you a gambling man?
04:52On occasion.
04:54Well, good.
04:55We'll test your sporting blood.
04:57We'll bet you $500, even money,
05:00that we get one of those invitations from Mr. Deveraux.
05:03It is not often that I have the opportunity
05:04to bet on a short thing, Monsieur.
05:06It's a deal.
05:08Now all you have to do is tell us where we can find Mr. Deveraux.
05:11Monsieur Deveraux maintains a town suite at the Hotel Royal.
05:15And now, Monsieur, you spoke of $500...
05:19I'll write the check.
05:21No, no, Brother Bart.
05:22I made the wager.
05:23I'll take the risk.
05:25Now, what was your name, sir?
05:26Georges Rousseau.
05:28Mine's Brent Maverick.
05:29Monsieur.
05:30Monsieur.
05:30A table for two, near Mr. Deveraux.
05:48Monsieur Deveraux?
05:50Certainement, Monsieur.
05:51Paracissime.
06:07Now, Monsieur Deveraux is the gentleman at the next table,
06:12sitting with his charming daughter, Mademoiselle Higel.
06:14And now, may I suggest a bottle of sparking Muscatel
06:30or some fine champagne, a vintage Forty-Tree?
06:33Two coffees.
06:34Where tea totally...
06:35Black.
06:35As you wish, Monsieur.
06:45Oh, Inspector Malvin.
06:47Those two gentlemen insisted on the table next to Monsieur Deveraux.
06:51I thought you should know this.
06:53So, I'll keep an eye on them, Pierre.
06:56Thanks.
07:05I wish I was an apple
07:12A-hanging on a tree
07:16And every time my Cindy passed
07:23She'd take a bite of me
07:28She told me that she loved me
07:34She called me Sugar Plum
07:38She threw her arms around me
07:43I knew my time had come
07:48Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
07:53Get along home
07:54Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
07:58I'll marry you someday
08:02She took me to her heart
08:06Jody is an entertainer, Papa
08:08Dispermissible to look at him
08:10Only if you have an extraordinary bad taste
08:13Because he cannot afford to wear a ruffled shirt
08:16Because he has the grace of a man instead of a dancing master
08:19Or merely because he is an American
08:22It's bad enough
08:23And also a musket hunter from the swamps
08:26Times have changed, Papa
08:28We cannot live behind our walls forever
08:31Besides, we are Americans, too
08:33Never
08:34Really, I think you still resent the fact
08:37That you were not consulted about the Louisiana purchase
08:40France may have seemed fit to abandon us
08:43But we Creoles are still New Orleans
08:46And always will be
08:47Get along home
08:48Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
08:52I'll marry you someday
08:57Now my Cindy's got religion
09:01If that, if you were not my daughter, I would think that
09:06What, father?
09:07But when she hears my old guitar
09:11We prefer that you perform elsewhere
09:13The management has already paid me to sing
09:17With your permission, I'll
09:19You do not have it
09:20Then with the lady's permission
09:25I didn't give you leave to grasp my daughter
09:28Excuse me, sir
09:30I believe the gentleman asked you to leave
09:33It's bad manners to refuse a tip, friend
09:35There is no need to interfere, gentlemen
09:44We were only trying to be helpful, Mr. Devereaux
09:46You know my name?
09:48Everyone knows your name
09:49I'm Brett Maverick
09:50That's my brother, Bart
09:51This is a fortunate meeting for us, sir
09:57We have connections with shipping offices up the river
09:59And they hope we might get a report on the river princess
10:02I do not do business at dinner, gentlemen
10:05Besides, I have none to transact
10:08They were also hoping, Mr. Devereaux
10:10That we might be aboard our maiden voyage
10:12Come along, give it
10:14May I be of assistance, Mr. Devereaux?
10:17Please, Inspector
10:18This ridiculous scene has gone far enough
10:21Good night
10:22Allow me to escort you, sir
10:24Smoothly done, Brother Brett
10:27It only cost us $500
10:29And that's not the worst of it
10:30No?
10:31The coffee's cold
10:32For the waiter
10:33You're awfully extravagant with my silver saddle
10:36Keep the change
10:37Inspector, dear
10:42Mr. Devereaux, merci beaucoup et bon nuit
10:45I am going to hold you responsible for this
10:49You are going to leave for Belfires tomorrow
10:51And do you think you can hold me a prisoner at the plantation?
10:54If I had to, until you have a husband who will do it for me?
10:57And have you chosen him for me?
11:02You are embarrassing me with your behavior
11:05Hotel Royale
11:07Excuse me, sir
11:08Brett!
11:27I'll be back!
11:47I'll be back!
11:47She losing?
11:58I took the girl into one of those shops
12:00The carriage drove on
12:01You go for the police
12:02Oh, we'll do better than that
12:04We've got $500 riding on a personal invitation for Mr. Devereaux
12:07We'll get the girl ourselves
12:09Hey, you're right
12:10She might get herself hurt
12:12If we waste time finding a policeman
12:13It's five shops down
12:16Come on
12:43If I don't come out in 10 minutes, you come and get me.
13:13If I don't come out in 10 minutes, I'll be right back.
13:43Don't move.
13:50Get your hands behind your head.
13:52It's a gun.
13:54Drop it.
13:57Now, pick it up.
13:59Run about you!
14:00No, it's not from the police!
14:03I'm going to cover him!
14:04Shilpa!
14:07Pardon me if I seem a little confused, but why didn't you run?
14:10Oh, you thought I was being kidnapped.
14:11Well, it's just a hazy impression I got when you screamed back there.
14:16Oh, and so you tried to help me.
14:17Yes.
14:19Oh, I'm afraid I owe you an explanation.
14:21Well, you might at that.
14:23You were at Maxime's tonight.
14:25You saw Jodie.
14:26Jodie's not only a cafe entertainer.
14:28He's also from the bayous, which presents certain difficulties because...
14:32because we are deeply in love.
14:35And my father doesn't want a muskrat trapper muddying the family tree.
14:39In a manner of speaking, yes.
14:41You see, I wasn't really kidnapped tonight.
14:43It was just a little subterfuge we'd arranged.
14:47And later, Jodie was to rescue me.
14:48And Papa's heart melts, and now he loves muskrat trappers.
14:52And you and Jodie live happily ever after.
14:54Oui.
14:56Well, we pretend I never found you.
14:58Oh, you are most understanding.
15:00And luck to you and Jodie.
15:02I think you'll need it.
15:04You ain't going anywhere, mister.
15:07Not until Jodie says so.
15:09I think you're being much too cautious, Rick.
15:11And this melodramatic display of guns is ridiculous.
15:15Get over there.
15:15Sit down.
15:16Thanks.
15:39Jodie?
15:40Yeah.
15:44Jodie, we got a visitor.
15:45Visitor?
15:46Yeah.
15:53Oh, darling.
15:55How'd he get in here?
15:56Oh, Mr. Maverick tried to rescue me, so I...
15:59Quiet.
16:00How'd you find this place?
16:02Well, I borrowed a horse.
16:03I hope it wasn't yours.
16:05There was another man with you in the cafe.
16:06My brother.
16:07Where is he?
16:09Well, he couldn't find a horse to borrow.
16:11I guess he's waiting at the hotel for me.
16:13Jodie, I'm sure Mr. Maverick won't say anything.
16:16Either to my father or the police, so there's no reason to be so upset.
16:19No?
16:21Why didn't you take care of him?
16:23Well, we were waiting for you, Jodie.
16:25And you?
16:26Are your brains all in your arms?
16:28Do I have to think of everything?
16:29I'm sorry if I make you boys nervous.
16:34Sit down.
16:35Jodie, what's wrong?
16:36I said sit down.
16:37You got some big surprises coming to you.
16:39I don't understand.
16:44Don't you?
16:46Didn't you finally get what you wanted?
16:48You kissed a swamp rat.
16:49Jodie!
16:50Now, I'm going to get what I wanted.
16:52You're going to write your father a letter.
16:54You're going to tell the great Creole aristocrat that his daughter's been kidnapped.
16:58You don't mean that, Jodie.
17:00You can't.
17:00Uh-huh.
17:01You tell him I want lots of money.
17:03You'd have been better off.
17:04You'd have run, Miss Devereaux.
17:05Run away from me?
17:06From the man who loved her?
17:08Passionately?
17:10No.
17:13Oh, no.
17:15Start writing.
17:17Go on, start writing.
17:18I'm afraid you missed a boat, friend.
17:20If it's money you're after, well, you should have married the girl.
17:23You've gotten more.
17:25You think the money had been worth it?
17:26Having her inspecting my fingernails?
17:28Telling me how to talk?
17:31And there wouldn't be any money that way.
17:32If she married me, her old man cut her off without a cent.
17:36Jodie, didn't you know I loved you?
17:39I was proud of you.
17:45Mr. Maverick, I apologize for bringing you into this.
17:50Oh, forget it.
17:53How many of those Creole dollars are you asking for?
17:57$25,000.
17:59Between the three of them?
18:00It is a three-way split.
18:03What's it to you?
18:05Well, I was just wondering if what you're doing is worth it.
18:08And you're not getting an even cut.
18:10Well, you're taking the same risk.
18:11You know, Devereaux will pay $50,000 as fast as he'll pay $25,000.
18:30Now, that'd take care of my cut, too.
18:32Your cut?
18:33How else will you get the letter to Devereaux?
18:35Very simple.
18:36I mail it.
18:37That's simple, all right, and dangerous.
18:40Every minute gives the police more time to close in.
18:42And if you bungle this, I stand a good chance of whining up dead.
18:47And you will bungle it.
18:48See, you're smart, Jodie, but you don't have experience.
18:51Things have started to go wrong already.
18:53Hey, don't you know that kidnapping isn't for amateurs?
18:59It's one of the most complicated crimes there is.
19:02Not one kidnapper in 20 ever gets to spend the ransom.
19:06You want to end up in Cabildo Prison with a rope around your neck?
19:11Who are you?
19:12Two years ago in Newton, Kansas, a cattleman's bank was taken for $125,000.
19:18Yeah, that's right.
19:22You?
19:23Me and my brother.
19:25That was a bank.
19:27This is ransom.
19:28Well, we don't do too much of that.
19:30It's too dangerous.
19:32Last time was Colorado a year ago.
19:35Bart and I kidnapped Lucky Blair's son.
19:38Big mining man.
19:40He paid $100,000.
19:41Where's that money now?
19:42Roman arranged, panhandled.
19:45We put it in the cattle.
19:46Well, oh, Miss Devereaux, you'd like to take back that apology.
19:51I don't mind.
19:57You need help, Jody.
20:00Professional help.
20:01You need someone who can go to Devereaux tonight, get the money, get back here fast so you can get out of town before the police close in.
20:09Now, only a professional can do that for you.
20:12Professional?
20:13Where would Devereaux raise that much money in the middle of the night?
20:17See, I said you were an amateur.
20:19You can cash a check at the St. Cyr's Casino.
20:21And your share?
20:32$5,000.
20:33You think because I'm a Bayou man I'm stupid?
20:35Oh, no.
20:36Once you got your hands on that money?
20:38I'll stay here as a hostage, just like Yvette.
20:41My brother Bart can collect the money.
20:44He's waiting outside.
20:46Rick, go see.
20:48That's not a healthy thing to do.
20:53He'll gun down anything that walks out of here, unless I signal him not to.
20:59What kind of signal?
21:01He'll come in if I whistle a special way.
21:04If I whistle another way, he brings in the police.
21:07How will I know which way you're whistling?
21:09You won't.
21:09Whistle.
21:30All right, back in here.
21:32Is all that necessary?
21:46You won't need a gun to collect from Devereaux.
21:50Brent, are you all right?
21:53Come on in, Bart.
21:56Put away your gun.
21:57You won't need it.
21:58Let them have your gun.
22:16Oh, by the way, I don't think you've met Miss Devereaux.
22:19Miss Devereaux?
22:20Miss Devereaux?
22:20Well, Brother Brett, what have you got us into this time?
22:34Something you'll like, Brother Bart.
22:36You'll like it a lot.
22:44The waterfront.
22:45The rumen houses.
22:46The dives.
22:47Search the entire caray.
22:48Use what men you need.
22:49What can you tell us, sir, about the footman?
22:52Jubal has only been two days with us.
22:55The other night, my regular footman was robbed and beaten.
22:59I see now.
23:00That was part of the scheme.
23:03You have the description.
23:04You will also find and arrest two men, brothers,
23:07using the names Brett and Bart Maverick.
23:10Young, dark-haired, well-dressed.
23:13You wish to add something, I believe, Mr. Devereaux.
23:16I will pay a $5,000 reward for the safe return of my doterre.
23:30You heard?
23:31Yes, sir.
23:32Well?
23:32I'm not sure that you are right in suspecting the two brothers, Inspector.
23:40If they're innocent, they have nothing to fear.
23:42But I've seen these types before.
23:43It was no accident they were at the hotel.
23:45But you told me they seem to be bent on rescuing my doterre.
23:48Seem to be, Mr. Devereaux.
23:50So, I don't presume to tell you how to run your riverboats.
23:54I mean no disrespect, sir.
23:57Of course not.
23:59My apologies.
24:01Harry, we had best return to the hotel.
24:03Surely they will try to contact you there.
24:05Believe me, sir, you may depend upon the police.
24:10Now, you get it?
24:11Same routine we used with Lucky Blair.
24:13Now, what about the Hardy-Colton method?
24:23Now, that'd work, too.
24:24No, it's not as good as the other in this case.
24:30All right.
24:32I've got to get something of hers so they know I've been here.
24:34Oh, that's beautiful work, my ship.
24:50I'll take very good care of it, Miss Devereaux.
24:54All right.
24:57Are you staying?
24:59Try not to dawdle, Brother Bart.
25:0220 minutes to 8.
25:04That gives us plenty of time.
25:06If you're not back by midnight,
25:08or if the police come back with you.
25:09You don't have to spell it out.
25:11They may get me,
25:13but not before I put a bullet through him.
25:15You hear him?
25:16Get going.
25:29Rick.
25:34You hear him?
25:36Fuck.
25:36Come on.
25:38Come on.
26:23Bart won't stray.
26:26Of course, when he starts back carrying all that cash...
26:31that'd be a big temptation for an underpaid man like Rick.
26:35Rick? He wouldn't do that to me.
26:39He wouldn't?
26:58Oh, it's you again.
27:00Are you back to redeem your silver saddle already?
27:03Maybe tomorrow.
27:05I see you refill shotgun shells. Use black powder?
27:08What else?
27:09Good. I want two pounds of it.
27:12Two pounds? That's a lot of powder.
27:15It don't often sell that much at one time.
27:17Two pounds.
27:19Two pounds.
27:20You got a powder bag?
27:24Just pour it right in here.
27:26One pound.
27:39Police are very busy tonight.
27:41So I noticed.
27:45What's up?
27:46One of our Creole moneybags had his daughter kidnapped this evening.
27:51Two pounds.
27:53Two pounds.
27:57Bad business, kidnapping.
27:58Deal.
27:59Well, wish him luck.
28:01Kidnappers?
28:03Take your pick.
28:04How much do I owe you?
28:12Ten dollars.
28:15Now, you're kind of expensive.
28:20Black powder sells for a dollar four bits a pound, friend.
28:24Only when a report of the sales filed with the police department.
28:29But 118 filed.
28:31Five dollars.
28:36Night.
28:47If you would have exhausted all the possibilities, you would have found her by now.
28:51New Orleans is not a small town, Mr. Devereaux.
28:54A thorough search takes time.
28:55But, man, you don't have to sit down like that, Henry.
28:57It doesn't matter.
28:58Come, drink that.
28:59It will be good.
29:00I want to see Mr. Devereaux.
29:06Oh, good evening, Inspector.
29:07You remember me?
29:08I'm the one that jumped on the back of the carriage.
29:10You are the man?
29:11Yes, sir.
29:12My daughter.
29:13Where is she?
29:14She's safe for now.
29:15Where?
29:16I'll have the place surrounded.
29:17That's a pretty quick way to get two people killed.
29:19Two?
29:20Yes, sir.
29:21They're holding my brother as hostage with her.
29:22Who are they?
29:23You know a man by the name of Jody Collins?
29:26He?
29:27And two of his friends.
29:28They want fifty thousand dollars, Mr. Devereaux.
29:31I'm supposed to bring it to them before midnight.
29:33He's lying, Mr. Devereaux.
29:34His brother's no more hostage than I am.
29:36I'm giving it to you straight, sir.
29:38How can we be sure he knows where your daughter is at all?
29:41I think this is just a way to swindle you out of fifty thousand dollars.
29:44Do you recognize this, Mr. Devereaux?
29:47My daughter is.
29:48What?
29:49Uh, Monsieur...
29:50Maverick.
29:51Bart Maverick.
29:52Monsieur Maverick.
29:53The necklace has convinced Monsieur Devereaux that you have seen his daughter.
29:58But as his lawyer, I would like an explanation as to why, if you are not a criminal, Collins entrusted you to act as go-between.
30:08Aside from your claim that he's holding your brother as hostage.
30:14Gentlemen, I would advise you to listen to me carefully.
30:18The three of them were for dumping us into the harbor.
30:22We didn't much go for that.
30:23It wouldn't have helped your daughter at all.
30:26We convinced them that we were old hands.
30:28We offered to collect the money for a cut.
30:31And, of course, they put their trust in complete strangers.
30:34They're not the smartest boys in the world, Inspector.
30:37That's why they're so dangerous.
30:39You just asked for the money. Why?
30:41Because I might need it.
30:44To keep your daughter and my brother from getting killed.
30:49He's lying, Mr. Devereaux.
30:50They paid the head waiter to put them next to your table this evening.
30:56We were hoping to get an invitation on the River Princess.
31:00Just why were you so anxious to get an invitation, Monsieur?
31:04Brett and I like to play poker, Mr. Devereaux.
31:06We were expecting to find some interesting games on board.
31:09We even expected to make a little money.
31:11Gamblers. Professional gamblers.
31:14Look, Mr. Devereaux, if you don't want to trust me with the money, say so.
31:17I'll go back there and try to clear Brett before they kill him.
31:19Just what assurance can you give me that the vet will be released?
31:22If I give you the money.
31:24I can give you no guarantees.
31:29But you go along with me.
31:31I'll do my best for you.
31:33I understand.
31:35I don't like it, Henry.
31:37The story of this man is not just impossible, but it's fantastic.
31:41Fantastic.
31:49Bring him in.
31:50Mr. Maverick, I place very little faith in your story.
32:00Even less in Americans.
32:03But my daughter's life is at stake.
32:05I will see you get the money.
32:08I'm glad you saw it in my way, Mr. Devereaux.
32:11Oh, Inspector.
32:14They told me it'd be all right for me to see you here.
32:16You have some information, Ziggy?
32:18Well, now I ain't sure, Inspector, but...
32:21Ah.
32:22About the kidnapping?
32:23Maybe so.
32:25Because a while ago, that man came into my shop and bought two pounds of black powder.
32:29You forgot to mention that.
32:31Did I?
32:32You deny you were at Ziggy's?
32:35This afternoon, I pawned a silver saddle.
32:39There's the pawn ticket.
32:40The powder was in a big manila envelope.
32:44It's inside his coat.
32:48Pardon me.
32:53He must have passed it already.
32:55All right, Ziggy, you can get out.
32:57Sure, Inspector.
32:59I'll see you tomorrow.
33:01You'll have your money, Ziggy.
33:02Get out.
33:05Mr. Devereaux, I've got to insist.
33:07It's time for some proper police methods.
33:09Just what do you mean by that?
33:10Ziggy is a sewer rat, but a useful one.
33:13He wouldn't lie to me.
33:14Two pounds of black powder would come in mighty handy if the police should close in.
33:20You really believe that?
33:21What are you doing, Inspector?
33:23At headquarters, he'll tell us where your daughter is.
33:25I can assure you of that.
33:27So you can go charging in like a herd of buffalo.
33:29If those boys panic, there's no telling what they might do.
33:33You'll just write a note to your brother saying you're being held at headquarters against the safe return of Miss Devereaux.
33:39That's very smart, Inspector.
33:41But Jody doesn't give a hang whether I live or die.
33:43That deadline is still midnight, Mr. Devereaux.
34:00Why aren't they back yet?
34:02Oh, there's plenty of time.
34:04Unless Rick tried to...
34:05I told you, I trust Rick.
34:08Stop cracking those things.
34:10That's quite an accomplishment.
34:11Takes muscle.
34:14You must be quite a man in the bayous, Jubal.
34:17Your Angelique must be a fine woman.
34:19My Angelique?
34:21Why, you should have seen the men I fought for.
34:25She's beautiful, huh, Jody?
34:27Yeah, yeah, if you say so.
34:28Everybody says so, Jody.
34:35You know, Jody, you interest me.
34:48You have talent.
34:50I hate to see talent go to waste.
34:52What do you mean?
34:53Well, where are you heading when Bart brings the money back?
34:56Back into the swamp so they won't ever find me.
34:58With that money burning a hole in your pocket?
35:01It's too bad.
35:02What else?
35:03There are other cities.
35:06With rich men.
35:07With wives.
35:08With daughters.
35:11You know, if the three of us put our minds to it.
35:14Three?
35:15Yeah, you.
35:16My brother and I.
35:19See, we have connections.
35:21We could introduce you and after that...
35:24Well, we've seen how you operate.
35:27Bart and I can outsmart most men.
35:30With you.
35:31With me, it's the women, huh?
35:32You ever been out west?
35:34Seen how they just throw money away in San Francisco?
35:37And Denver?
35:39And the Silver Kings?
35:40Well, we'd go to San Francisco.
35:42You.
35:43Well, we'd like to take you and Rick along Jubal, but it just wouldn't work out.
35:51Why not?
35:53You see, when a smart man wants some rough stuff done, well...
35:57He just hires a couple of men for chicken feeding.
36:00That way he can ditch them easy if things start getting tight.
36:03What do you mean?
36:04You keep trying, don't you?
36:05Oh, I'm sure you'd be a great success in San Francisco, Jody.
36:12There must be many women who would be as foolish about you as I was.
36:16Maybe that makes you jealous.
36:18There's the East, Saratoga, Newport.
36:21Ah, women with husbands who can buy and sell, Henry Devereaux.
36:27They've seen plenty of hand kissers and heel clickers.
36:31They want men, huh?
36:33What are you laughing at?
36:35Oh, I'm sorry. Perhaps I should cry.
36:38Maybe you should.
36:39Not for me, for you.
36:42What is it you really want, Jody?
36:45You'll be the man for so many women.
36:49Who will be the woman for you?
36:51Did I say I wanted one woman?
36:52Where would there be one woman for a man like me?
36:55The ones who think they're too good for me?
36:57The ones I know I'm too good for?
37:00Women like you?
37:02Or fat, muddy, swamp cows like his Angelique?
37:10All right, outside. Don't stop for anything.
37:13Give me your gun.
37:17Looks like we'll have to cancel that little partnership.
37:22Let's go.
37:29Get back there.
37:40I appreciate that.
37:42I sure do.
37:46Getting tired, huh?
37:49You've had a rough time.
37:50I'll give you credit. You're tough.
37:52But I think you're smart, too.
37:54So I'll talk to you in a way you can understand.
37:56Mr. Devereaux is offering $5,000 reward for the return of his daughter.
38:00It'll make you a deal.
38:02That address for half the reward money.
38:05And you and your brother go free.
38:08Look, Inspector.
38:10I know this case is mighty important to you.
38:13You get that girl back and Devereaux's your friend for life.
38:16He might even make you chief of police.
38:20But I don't trust you as far as I could throw you.
38:25Which I truly enjoy doing.
38:32Mr. Devereaux.
38:33Mr. Devereaux.
38:36He has given you the address?
38:38Not yet, sir, but he will.
38:40You've got 20 minutes left, Mr. Devereaux.
38:42You gonna let him take away your last chance to get your daughter back alive?
38:49Release him at once.
38:51What?
38:52At once, Inspector. I have listened to you long enough.
38:53I have listened to you long enough.
38:54Sergeant.
39:08Here.
39:10All the money is here, Mr.
39:14Perhaps she would like to count it, Mr.
39:16Mr. Devereaux.
39:20I think it's about time you and I begin trusting each other.
39:31My hat.
39:32I have a carriage outside.
39:45It's at your disposal.
39:47May I request that I go with you?
39:50No thanks, Mr. Devereaux.
39:52I'm gonna have to do this alone.
39:55I don't want any police escort.
39:58No one trails me.
39:59My word of honor.
40:01Tell him.
40:03Order you men not to follow Mr. Maverick.
40:06Or interfere in any of his movements.
40:09Yes, Mr. Devereaux.
40:14Monsieur.
40:18Yvette.
40:20She's the only one I have.
40:22You...
40:24You will.
40:25I know how you feel.
40:29I know how you feel.
40:51Stop here.
40:55Wait around the corner.
40:59Stop here, driver.
41:15Wait for me.
41:29Wait for me.
41:31Wait for me.
41:59Wait for me.
42:01Wait for me.
42:04You know how you feel?
42:06No.
42:07No.
42:09No.
42:11No.
42:13No.
42:15Why don't you say you deve lay out?
42:17No.
42:19No.
42:21No.
42:52How do we know what his brother's up to?
42:57They're too smart for us.
42:58For you, maybe.
43:00Jody, we gotta get out of here.
43:01Where?
43:02Well, you're supposed to be the big boss.
43:04You tell us where.
43:08I must apologize again, Mr. Maverick.
43:15Better make this look friendly.
43:22You get it?
43:30It's here.
43:33Toss it over.
43:36Just like that?
43:37And he said you were smart.
43:46Toss it over.
43:47Don't you want to see the color of the money?
43:52There's two pounds of black powder in this.
43:57We're walking out of here.
43:58You try anything and I'll touch this fuse.
44:00You're bluffing.
44:02Now you drop it or I'll...
44:03Sure you could pull that trigger, but I'd still have time to light this fuse.
44:06There wouldn't be anything you could do to get away from it.
44:07He ain't bluffing, Jody.
44:09You can see it in his eyes.
44:12He ain't that willing to die.
44:13You're right.
44:14But I'd rather go this way than be shot by you.
44:17We'll all be buried together.
44:18I'm counting three.
44:25Brett, get her out of here.
44:26Don't move.
44:27One.
44:29This ain't worth no thousand dollars.
44:30I'm leaving here.
44:31You're staying.
44:33Nobody leaves this place.
44:35We're all leaving.
44:37Two.
44:37I want to get out too, Jody.
44:39If he touches that fuse, we're all dead.
44:42That's why he won't touch it.
44:44Maybe if it was just him, he would.
44:46But he won't kill his brother and Yvette, too.
44:49Now, look, I know him better than you.
44:52If he says he'll do it, he'll do it.
44:54You better drop those guns.
44:56You're getting too close to that fuse.
44:57It's gonna go off.
44:59Move it away when you drop those guns.
45:01I want to get out of here.
45:04Will you let me go?
45:06Sure, Rick.
45:07Go on.
45:08Drop that gun.
45:09That goes for you, too.
45:20That show you I mean business?
45:22Now, you drop that or I'll give you the same thing.
45:31What are you gonna do, Jody?
45:33Keep us standing there till we starve to death?
45:35Fight, come on!
45:38Come on!
46:08Oh, good evening, Miss Devereaux. Good evening, sir.
46:16Good evening. I hope you are enjoying your cruise.
46:19Beyond our wildest expectations.
46:21Yes, I've heard from some of my friends who have sat with you the game.
46:25Well, we have been pretty lucky.
46:27By the way, Yvette just told me something very shocking.
46:32You didn't tell me that she had agreed to be kidnapped.
46:35Oh, well, I thought I'd let her tell you, sir.
46:39That is, if she wanted to.
46:41I've always considered Americans to be devoid of the qualities we Creole's value.
46:48You and your brother have shown me how very wrong I was.
46:53You also taught me that I can be proud of being an American.
46:58Then I guess it was worth it, Mr. Devereaux.
47:00Well, perhaps I've been a little bit too severe, too, with my Delterre.
47:07Will you excuse me?
47:10Good evening, sir.
47:11How is the show, then?
47:13Oh, it's very painful.
47:17But with sympathetic attention, I'll recover.
47:19If you'll excuse me for a moment, gentlemen, I'll be right back.
47:26You'll have your revenge.
47:30So, Pappy left us a thousand-dollar bill apiece and some very profound words of wisdom.
47:34Oh?
47:35Never hold a kicker.
47:37And never draw to an inside straight.
47:38Imagine being able to go where you want, do what you want, to be completely free.
47:46It must be a wonderful feeling.
47:48All it has is drawbacks.
47:50Of course, you get to see a lot of new places, meet a lot of new people.
47:54But then you always have to leave some people behind.
48:00Thank you for waiting, gentlemen.
48:01Thank you, gentlemen.
48:31Thank you, gentlemen.
49:01Thank you, gentlemen.
