00:00Well, I guess we'd better get...
00:06You didn't like the picnic.
00:22I mean business, Mr. Maverick.
00:25And you hit what's left?
00:30Let's talk business.
01:00There's only one thing really wrong with Virginia City.
01:03The biggest poker game in town is a private affair.
01:06The Comstock Club is exclusive.
01:09If you're not a member or recommended by one, you haven't got a chance of getting in.
01:14Of course, exceptions are made in the case of important personalities.
01:19I'm sorry, Mr. Maverick, but I never heard of you.
01:22Oh.
01:24Good night, Tom.
01:25Good night, Mr. Hart.
01:27You sure there's no chance?
01:29Not unless you're a member.
01:31Horne.
01:45I didn't know you were a gunman, Mr. Jennings.
01:50I know the truth now, Horne.
01:52Why the committee voted against giving me the money?
01:54It's no secret.
01:56Congress isn't in the habit of donating millions to crackpots.
01:59Your money, your influence stopped me again, but for the last time.
02:06Thank you, sir.
02:08I appreciate the effort, but really the trouble wasn't necessary.
02:12Doesn't he know how to pull the trigger?
02:13He hasn't the courage to pull the trigger.
02:18Here.
02:20Go ahead.
02:21Shoot.
02:21See what I mean?
02:26You're a fanatic, all right, Jennings, but you're not a very good fanatic.
02:31I'm grateful for your interference, sir.
02:35Dead, you would have won, Horne.
02:37You'd have been a martyr for all those who think the same twisted way you do.
02:42But alive?
02:43Alive, you're going to be beaten.
02:45By Alex Jennings.
02:47By Jerome Horne.
02:49Oh, you're desperate now, Horne.
02:51You're taking bigger and bolder steps to stop me.
02:55One step is going to be too big, too bold.
02:59Then you're going to fall.
03:01And fall hard.
03:10Jennings folly.
03:11What's that?
03:14You must be a stranger here.
03:17Alex Jennings wants to build a five-mile-long railroad tunnel into the Comstock Lode to cart the ore out and ventilate the mines.
03:25He should ventilate his brains first.
03:29Jennings is the kind, Mr...
03:30Maverick.
03:32Jerome Horne.
03:33Jennings is the kind who shows up after all the back-breaking work and hard labor of building railroads and digging mines is done,
03:40and then he wants to tell you how things should be from here on.
03:43Better working conditions, less danger.
03:47If we'd listen to his kind, there wouldn't be any working conditions to worry about at all.
03:51We wouldn't have dug any mines in the first place.
03:54You going this way, Mr. Maverick?
03:56I'm afraid so.
03:57I couldn't get in the club.
03:59Members and friends of members only.
04:02You're a friend of a member now.
04:04I was hoping it'd work out that way.
04:05It's all right, Tom.
04:16He's with me.
04:17It's all right, Mr. Horne.
04:25Around the table, Mr. Maverick, we have some of the finest gentlemen in Virginia City.
04:29Mr. Willard Newton, rancher.
04:32Mr. Alfred Clay, gold mining.
04:34Mr. Stuart Kennedy, silver.
04:36Mr. John Bourdine, my partner in railroading.
04:40Gentlemen, Mr. Brett Maverick.
04:42Poker player.
04:44Good luck, Mr. Maverick.
04:46And good night again, gentlemen.
04:52Chips are $50 apiece, Mr. Maverick.
04:54Minimum by $2,000.
04:55No mind Bourdine, Mr. Maverick.
04:59He gets a little touchy when he's losing.
05:05You're $200, Mr. Maverick.
05:07And $1,000 better.
05:13Out.
05:15Call.
05:20Fold.
05:20Three nines, Mr. Maverick.
05:26Small straight, Mr. Mourdine.
05:32I owe you $5,000, Mr. Maverick.
05:35I'd like a chance to get even.
05:37The game isn't over, is it, gentlemen?
05:38It is for me.
05:39I've got some work to do in my office.
05:41I have a proposition I'd like to make to you, Mr. Maverick.
05:43A $5,000 bet.
05:46On one hand?
05:47One cut.
05:48I say for $5,000,
05:52I can cut the ace of spades with one try.
05:59Do I get to shuffle?
06:01As much as you want.
06:04Well, do we have a bet?
06:08Double or nothing?
06:10Double or nothing.
06:12Those are pretty attractive odds, Mr. Bourdine.
06:18One chance to cut the ace of spades, correct, Mr. Maverick?
06:39Correct, Mr. Bourdine.
06:40I believe I've cut the ace of spades, Mr. Maverick.
07:00I now owe you nothing.
07:02I'm afraid you're mistaken, Mr. Bourdine.
07:06You now owe me $10,000.
07:07Looks like he beats you to your own game, John.
07:13Shut up!
07:15You can have your money in my office in one hour.
07:21You've seen that trick before, Mr. Maverick.
07:23No, just that kind of trickster.
07:26This is my profession, gentlemen.
07:29Hard to understand.
07:31Losing $10,000 to Bourdine is no more than losing $10,000 as to most people.
07:35He's that rich.
07:36Some men can't stand to lose $10,000, Mr. Kennedy.
07:39No matter how rich they are.
07:42Let's see.
07:55Bourdine!
07:59Come in!
07:59Come in!
08:00Yes, sir?
08:08I have an appointment to see Mr. Bourdine.
08:11Oh, uh, Mr. Maverick?
08:12That's right.
08:13Go right in.
08:14Mr. Maverick, Mr. Bourdine's expecting you.
08:17Uh, Maureen.
08:24Close the door.
08:24Come in!
08:24Come in!
08:30Your manners are bad, Maverick.
08:32How can you tell?
08:34You had your back to me.
08:37I have a feeling we're not fond of each other, Mr. Bourdine.
08:40I suggest we get this over with as fast as possible.
08:43Fine.
08:44I'm not going to pay you.
08:45Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
08:47That's a little too fast.
08:49You owe me $10,000.
08:51I want it.
08:52Anybody who can palm an ace of spades like you did, Maverick, is a card sharp.
08:56And I don't pay off the card sharp.
08:58Now, get out.
09:01A long time ago, Mr. Bourdine, I decided that a gambling debt wasn't ever important enough
09:06to kill a man over.
09:07I decided that welchers are people to feel sorry for.
09:11That the pressure that made them crawl so low must have been worse than anything I could
09:16do to them.
09:17So I let it go at that, marked it off to profit and loss.
09:21But you don't get off that easy.
09:23No, sir.
09:25Every time your name comes up, Mr. Bourdine, every place I go, I'm going to tell this little
09:30story about how the millionaire railroad builder didn't actually lose $10,000 to the stranger
09:35after all.
09:37Why not?
09:39Because he didn't pay the stranger what he owed him.
09:42You wouldn't dare.
09:45Like to bet another $10,000 on that?
09:47You're the only one thing you want to pull.
09:55Iels you knife.
09:58Oh, my God.
10:00Come on.
10:04Come on.
10:09Come on.
10:11Come on.
10:13Come on.
10:13Come on.
10:14Come on.
10:14He's dead. You better get the sheriff.
10:34I'll get him myself.
10:35The sheriff had gone home for the night, and the name John Bourdain was too big for the deputy.
10:46So the sheriff's home was the next stop.
10:51That helps a little. I wake up kind of slowly.
10:55I wouldn't get too upset, Mr. Maverick.
10:59Yeah. If things weren't like you said, it shouldn't go bad for you.
11:05I believe it's customary to knock before entering, gentlemen.
11:19Oh, excuse me, sheriff. I didn't recognize you. Good evening.
11:23Don't you recognize me?
11:30This is the man who shot Mr. Bourdain.
11:31Right in there, about two hours ago.
11:39Come on, sheriff. See for yourself.
11:43This is what I'm talking about.
11:45What's the joke?
12:06It happened just like I told you, sheriff.
12:08No, wait. He shot at me.
12:11The bullets ought to be in that door.
12:16It should be about right in here.
12:24I can't arrest you for murder, Maverick, but I can't arrest you on quite a few other charges.
12:30The clerk out there. He spilled ink when I came in.
12:32Don't tell me no ink.
12:44Either you've had too much to drink or not enough, one or the other.
12:46Now clear out of here.
12:47You try to collect a debt.
13:02A man welches, pulls a gun, you shoot him first.
13:05The sheriff investigates and finds absolutely nothing.
13:09What do you do? You forget it?
13:11You can't. You're out $10,000.
13:13All right, where do you begin?
13:16The clerk without ink on his hands.
13:18Where else?
13:29Getting a line on the clerk took less than an hour.
13:33He didn't look, think, or act like most people in Virginia City.
13:36His name was Vinner, and he lived in a lodging house on Taylor Street.
13:39I wonder if you could help me, ma'am.
13:44I'm trying to find a Mr. Vinner.
13:46He's dead.
13:48What?
13:49Struck down by a wagon.
13:54Thank you, ma'am.
13:55To begin with, Mr. Maverick, I've already heard your fantastic story about killing my partner.
14:07It happened, Mr. Horne.
14:09Exactly as I told the sheriff it did.
14:13He couldn't have.
14:15My partner's standing right out there now.
14:17Hello, Mr. Maverick.
14:35I don't believe we've met.
14:38This is the man you played poker with last night.
14:41The man who owes me $10,000?
14:42I'm, uh, sorry I was so rude last night, Mr. Maverick.
14:50Well, I'm sorry I killed you.
14:52I prefer you don't persist in telling that story, Maverick.
14:58Good day, Mr. Horne.
14:59Good day, Mr. Maverick.
15:02Mr., uh, Bourdine.
15:05Of course.
15:12What do you want to do about Maverick?
15:25Depends on what he does.
15:27Follow him.
15:29What about him?
15:30He'll behave.
15:32Won't you?
15:34I, I don't like this.
15:36You will.
15:37Be patient.
15:39Nobody likes being a millionaire at first.
15:41Half my problem was solved now.
16:07I had my $10,000.
16:08Solving the other half suddenly didn't seem too important.
16:13Suppose I did prove I'd killed Bourdine.
16:16I'd still have to prove that I'd done it in self-defense.
16:19Uh-uh.
16:20No percentage.
16:26A trip to San Francisco suddenly seemed like a better idea.
16:29An hour later, I had my ticket and nothing to do till the stage left the next morning.
16:45Mr. Maverick.
16:48Hello.
16:51Hello.
16:52I'm Jane Vaughan.
16:58I'm not very flattered either.
17:00I've got the worst memory in the world.
17:02Well, that's all right.
17:03I'm not being very fair either.
17:04We only met once and it was just for a few minutes.
17:06Club in New Orleans.
17:08Of course.
17:09The Jambalaya Club.
17:11Yes, that's right.
17:12It certainly took me long enough.
17:14Well, nice seeing you again, Mr. Maverick.
17:15Well, no, wait.
17:16I'll walk along with you, if I may.
17:18Oh, well, I'm just going back to my hotel.
17:20I won't be keeping you from anything, will I?
17:22No, no.
17:23As a matter of fact, I don't have anything to do until tomorrow morning's stage leaves for San Francisco.
17:36Still trying to place me?
17:38No, I'm trying to place who you were with when we met.
17:41Oh, he was a very handsome gentleman.
17:44Husband?
17:46Uh-uh.
17:47Brother.
17:49Miss Vaughan?
17:50Mr. Maverick.
17:51It's a lovely day today.
17:53I have nothing to do.
17:54I'd like you to join me.
17:56Doing nothing?
17:57How about a ride in the country?
18:00A picnic lunch?
18:01Champagne.
18:03Mr. Maverick?
18:05Yes, Miss Vaughan?
18:06I accept.
18:10Jane.
18:11Mm-hmm?
18:12Why did you talk to me on the street today?
18:19Oh, I always talk to my old friends.
18:22How could we be old friends if we've never met before?
18:25But we have met.
18:30At the Jambalaya Club?
18:32Yes, that's right.
18:34No, it isn't.
18:36I made that up.
18:37Why?
18:40Because I knew you were lying about knowing me.
18:45How?
18:47Your face.
18:49It's too pretty to forget.
18:51I'd ever met you before.
18:52I'd ever remembered you.
18:53And why didn't you say something about it at the time?
18:57What's your real name?
19:01Ellen.
19:03Ellen what?
19:05Ellen Bourdine.
19:11John Bourdine's daughter?
19:14Niece.
19:15Ralph Bourdine is my father.
19:18So John Bourdine has a brother.
19:20My father.
19:22Yes.
19:23Have you seen him, Mr. Maverick?
19:24Do you know where my father is?
19:26I think so.
19:29But why did you want to get together with me?
19:32Well, I heard the story that you claimed to have shot John Bourdine.
19:35So?
19:37So it was someplace to start.
19:39Start what?
19:41Mr. Maverick, my father and I live on a small ranch just outside of Carson City.
19:46Well, I was away for a few days.
19:48And when I got back, my father was gone.
19:50No note, no message, nothing.
19:52A suitcase was gone and some of his clothes.
19:56Mr. Maverick, my father is a timid man.
19:58In five years, he hasn't been five miles away from that ranch.
20:01He never does anything without talking to me first.
20:05I'm all he has.
20:07Why'd you come to Virginia City?
20:09Well, I wanted to see if my uncle knew anything about it.
20:12John Bourdine.
20:13Yes.
20:13But I couldn't find him.
20:16And then I heard that you had claimed to have killed John Bourdine.
20:21Did you, Mr. Maverick?
20:23In self-defense.
20:26I'm sorry.
20:26Well, don't be on my account.
20:31I hated my uncle, John.
20:33Treated my father like dirt.
20:35Worse.
20:36About 20 years ago, he cheated him out of a gold claim.
20:40That gold claim was the start of John Bourdine.
20:44I don't think my father ever got over it.
20:47So I thought there might be some connection.
20:50Do you think there is?
20:52I don't know.
20:54But I do know where your father is.
20:56Where?
20:57Out at Horn's Ranch.
20:58Posing as your late Uncle John.
21:01Why?
21:01Why would he do a thing like that?
21:05Mr. Maverick, are you sure of what you're talking about?
21:07I mean, did you see my father?
21:08Did you talk with him?
21:09Today.
21:10Hey, John Bourdine died owing me $10,000.
21:14I wanted my money.
21:16Your father paid me off and tried to make me believe that he was the man I'd killed.
21:23But why should he pretend to be a man he hated?
21:26For some reason, Jerome Horn doesn't want it known that his partner's dead.
21:30What reason?
21:36Mr. Maverick, if my father is posing as John Bourdine,
21:40he's doing it against his will.
21:42Possibly.
21:43Probably.
21:44But what can I do about it?
21:46Go to the sheriff, I guess.
21:48No.
21:50Sheriff was put into office by Jerome Horn.
21:54Will you help me?
21:58No, ma'am.
21:58Because you have your $10,000?
22:09Yes, ma'am.
22:17Well, I guess we better get...
22:19You didn't like the picnic.
22:26Mr. Maverick, I'm going to take your $10,000 and I'm going to keep it until you find out for me why Jerome Horn is using my father.
22:34I can work from there myself.
22:36Do you really think you can force me to help you?
22:39I'm going to try.
22:41I mean business, Mr. Maverick.
22:52Can you hit what's left?
22:59Let's talk business.
23:01There's nothing to talk about.
23:03You just give me the money, and when you find out what I want to know, you'll get it back.
23:07It's that simple.
23:09No, not so simple.
23:11What if I won't give you the money?
23:14Then I'll kill you.
23:15And do what about getting the information you want?
23:18I'll still have your $10,000.
23:21So I'll use it to hire someone to do the work for me.
23:25You sound determined.
23:27I am.
23:28I love my father, Mr. Maverick, and in a way you're responsible for everything that's happened.
23:32So I feel very righteous about forcing you to help me.
23:35Now, put the money on the seat.
23:42Yes, ma'am.
23:46Move over there.
23:48Yes, ma'am.
23:49I'll leave your gun in the road.
24:10Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:11Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:13Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:14Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:15Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:16Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:17Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:18Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:19Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:20Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:21Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:22Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:23Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:24Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:25Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:26Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:27Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:28Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:29Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:30Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:31Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:32Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:33Goodbye, Mr. Maverick.
24:34All right, you didn't hide the money in your room,
24:48and the clerk didn't put it in the safe.
24:50That leaves you personally.
24:52You come near me, and I'm going to scream.
24:53If I don't get my money, I'll scream louder.
24:56Now, don't you dare. Don't you dare come near me.
24:57All right. All right, all right, I'll give you back your money.
25:02It's in the bureau.
25:03I looked in the bureau. I turned every drawer inside out.
25:07It's not in a drawer. It's under one.
25:09It's glued to the bottom one.
25:32It's all there.
25:41I gave up?
25:53After you slugged me?
25:55I didn't like slugging you.
25:57You poor girl.
26:00Now, what's the real reason?
26:04Well, I guess I misjudged you.
26:06You work on your own terms.
26:08If I take your money away from you,
26:09well, then you go after the money
26:10instead of what I want you to go after to get the money.
26:14It was my mistake, and I'm sorry.
26:17Oh, and I'm so sorry I did that.
26:19That's all?
26:21Oh, and I'm so sorry.
26:51I think we're in business.
26:56You mean you'll help me?
26:57You'll go out to the ranch after my father?
26:59I want to find out more about why Horn is using your father.
27:02You know, you're funny, Brett.
27:09What you won't do for $10,000,
27:11you will do for nothing.
27:14You're rather impulsive.
27:16For a start, for some proof that I was telling the truth
27:23about the gunfight with Bourdine,
27:25I headed back discreetly
27:27to the Horn-Bourdine Holding Company office.
27:30The door where Bourdine's bullets had gone
27:33was something to go on.
27:35They hadn't had time to repair the door
27:36before I'd returned with the sheriff,
27:38but they had had time
27:40to switch the door with another one.
27:50So far, so good.
27:52The hinges had been worked on recently.
27:54The problem was simple now.
27:58Find the original door.
28:01It was in one of the rooms in the building.
28:03How many rooms were there?
28:05Then again, maybe it was right in this room.
28:24There it was, buried in what was now the closet door.
28:32You're going to burn your fingers.
28:34Hold it.
28:36Turn around.
28:42Drop your gun belt.
28:49Keep it over here.
28:54You know, for a while there,
28:59I really thought you were going to go to San Francisco.
29:02So did I, for a while.
29:06You should have.
29:21You all right, Mr. Maverick?
29:22No, I'm fine, thanks to you, Mr. Jennings, wasn't it?
29:26Alex Jennings.
29:30I'm not used to these.
29:33You did fine, Mr. Jennings.
29:35But what were you doing here in the first place?
29:38You following him?
29:39No, I was following you, then I saw him.
29:42His name is Norman Brock.
29:44He works for Horn and Bourdine.
29:46Kills for them, I should say.
29:48Well, what were you doing following me?
29:50I want to talk to you, Mr. Maverick.
29:54About you having shot John Bourdine.
29:57Is that true?
30:00Yeah.
30:01Can we go somewhere and talk?
30:02My place?
30:04It's very important to me, Mr. Maverick.
30:07Might be important to me, too, Mr. Jennings.
30:09I want to talk to you, Mr. Maverick.
30:13Now, this is the Comstock Lode.
30:16The heat comes from these boiling underground springs.
30:19The gases rise over here.
30:22Now, my tunnel will be a means of drawing off water and gases alike.
30:27Reducing the temperature to close to normal surface temperature
30:30and eliminating the gases almost entirely.
30:32Fresh, cool air, Mr. Maverick.
30:35Safety.
30:36How long is the tunnel now?
30:3921,307 feet.
30:42A little over four miles.
30:45187 feet over as of tonight.
30:47Mr. Maverick, there is no little when you dig a tunnel.
30:51Every inch counts after 16 years.
30:5516 years?
30:56It should have taken only four years, but for Horn and Bourdine.
30:59They have fought me right from the start.
31:02Stopped me wherever they could.
31:04At the banks.
31:05In the courts.
31:07Even in the Congress of the United States.
31:10They have made me a figure of public ridicule.
31:14Jennings Folly is the name my tunnel goes by.
31:18And the names for me are worse.
31:24Well, why?
31:26How does the tunnel hurt them?
31:27Their railroad.
31:30They make their money carting the ore out of the mines into the refineries.
31:34And the tunnel will make it a short haul?
31:37One-tenth of the distance, Mr. Maverick.
31:39That is the reason I started this tunnel.
31:42It was a railroad first, a means of ventilation second.
31:45Now it's the other way around.
31:47It has been for the past seven years.
31:49Mr. Maverick, these are medical histories of over 400 men, miners, who died working in the Comstock load.
32:01Each death can be directly attributed either to the gas in the mine or the heat.
32:05Mr. Maverick, Mr. Maverick, did you shoot John Bourdine, as you've said?
32:19Mm-hmm.
32:19But I heard that when you went back to the office, his body wasn't there anymore.
32:23That's right.
32:24They don't want Bourdine's death known.
32:30Why?
32:31There's only one reason I can think of.
32:35Horn and Bourdine are in great financial trouble.
32:38I know they've spent a fortune fighting me.
32:40That must be it.
32:42What does that have to do with Horn covering up Bourdine's death?
32:45The court's, Mr. Maverick.
32:48Bourdine's death will throw their partnership into probate for the heirs.
32:52The company's records would have to be made public.
32:56The creditors might panic, demand their money, foreclose.
33:02This could mean the end of them.
33:04You could be right.
33:07Bourdine's brother is posing as Bourdine right now.
33:11What?
33:13Why, then, I am right.
33:15Do you know what that means to me, Mr. Maverick?
33:19It means that at last I've got Horn on the run.
33:22You will help me, won't you, when it comes time to expose Horn?
33:28Well, I say I won't stand in your way.
33:32Mixing in other people's business isn't my profession, Mr. Jennings.
33:42Sometimes we can't stay out of other people's business, can we, Mr. Maverick?
33:45We can try.
33:50Good night, Mr. Jennings.
33:52Good night, Mr. Maverick.
33:53Good night, Mr. Maverick.
33:53Good night, Mr. Maverick.
33:56Howdy.
34:17Howdy.
34:20Fence post.
34:22Fence post?
34:23I got no instructions for fence post.
34:25Who are you from?
34:27Coleride Lumber.
34:28I never heard of them.
34:30Where are your shipping order?
34:32It's in the back with the fence post.
34:33Let's have a look at it.
34:34All right, I'll show it to you.
34:41Well, open it up.
34:46Get inside, mister.
34:55Father!
35:05Are you all right?
35:06Oh, I was afraid something terrible had happened to you.
35:08No, no, I'm fine.
35:09Just fine, my dear.
35:11Mr. Bordy, Mr. Maverick.
35:13Mr. Maverick got us in here in a wagon, Father.
35:14We can get out the same way.
35:15Now, come on.
35:16Hold on.
35:16Why do we want to get out?
35:18Well, you're being held a prisoner here, aren't you?
35:21I was.
35:22You're not now?
35:24Doesn't Horn want to pass you off as your brother anymore?
35:27Oh, yes, by all means.
35:29But I no longer object.
35:31Well, why not?
35:33Why should I?
35:35What's wrong with being John Bordyne?
35:38Millionaire partner of Jerome Horn.
35:40I rather like the idea.
35:44Your father is a timid man?
35:48From Havana, Cuba.
35:54Father, you want to be John Bordyne, right?
35:58Why not, Ellen?
35:59John Bordyne has money.
36:02Jewelry.
36:04Elegant surroundings.
36:06I was just writing you about it when you came in, Ellen.
36:09To ask you to join me here and share in this life with me.
36:14What did Ralph Bordyne ever have?
36:17Poverty.
36:19Doing without for a lifetime hasn't been very pleasant.
36:23Especially when I did without because my own brother cheated me out of what should have been mine.
36:28I've never known one moment of gracious living, Ellen.
36:32Nor your mother.
36:34Nor you.
36:35You see what I'm getting at, don't you?
36:40She's way ahead of you.
36:44Well, why not?
36:46Why shouldn't he have a little luxury and a little comfort and a few riches?
36:51Well, there's always the gal.
36:52Don't mind, Mr. Maverick, Father.
36:56He's just upset about somebody named Jennings who wants to build a tunnel or something.
37:00I'll get over it.
37:02You know, Father, I think you're right.
37:05I think we have a very lovely life ahead of us.
37:09Of course, you'll have to forgive me if it takes a little while to get adjusted to being a rich man's daughter.
37:14Niece.
37:14And the price tag's on the bottom.
37:19Don't be a spoil sport, Brett.
37:22I wouldn't think of it.
37:24Goodbye, Ellen.
37:25Mr. Bourdain.
37:26Where are you going?
37:28The wagon.
37:30I rented it by the hour.
37:32Oh, stop it.
37:34Now, why shouldn't Father get everything he can out of this?
37:37After all, it was Uncle John that cheated him out of the claim in the first place.
37:41I didn't say a word.
37:42Well, all right, but I know what you're thinking.
37:43Poor Mr. Jennings.
37:45Well, I never stood in his way.
37:47Neither did Father.
37:48Let him build all the tunnels he wants to.
37:50Why blame us?
37:51I'm not blaming anybody.
37:52Well, then where are you going?
37:54No place.
38:03I'd hoped we weren't going to meet again.
38:06Imagine how I feel.
38:08Take him out.
38:09No.
38:10Leave him alone.
38:11I've been listening to you from outside, Ellen.
38:14You're obviously interested in the finer things in life.
38:18They're not free, you know.
38:21Well, the price better not be too high, Mr. Horn.
38:24If you kill him, you get no cooperation from me.
38:27Mr. Maverick tried to help me.
38:29Us.
38:31Can't end this way.
38:32We're not murderers.
38:33No harm must come to my daughter, gentlemen.
38:36A suggestion?
38:37Go ahead.
38:38Well, why all this talk about what to do with Maverick?
38:42Let him go.
38:43He can't hurt you.
38:44You can ruin everything.
38:45Be quiet.
38:46Go ahead.
38:48No one believed me when I said I killed John Bordine.
38:51Why should they start believing me now when I say that John Bordine's brother is taking his place?
38:59They might stop laughing and start getting nasty.
39:02After all, Mr. Horn, you, John Bordine's partner, swear that this is John Bordine.
39:08And you, his niece, tell the same story.
39:15Who's going to believe me?
39:16Alex Jennings?
39:19So why should I make the effort?
39:22That's my point.
39:23Where will you go from here?
39:25San Francisco.
39:27The sooner the better.
39:28Well, you're not the most grateful of men.
39:39I just saved your life.
39:41You also got rid of a bad conscience.
39:49Goodbye, Ellen.
39:50Happy money.
39:56Don't let him disturb you, Ellen.
39:58He doesn't.
40:18My pappy had it right.
40:20Stick your nose in other people's business and you'll get it bent.
40:23My business is gambling.
40:25Jennings is building tunnels and that's that.
40:28All set, folks.
40:30You can get aboard now.
40:40What was that?
40:42There was a gas explosion.
40:44How do you know?
40:44I was in one of these once, Muster.
40:46Come on, they'll need every one of us.
40:48How about you, stranger?
40:52We need all the help we can get.
40:53Let's go, friend.
40:54It's brawn we need.
40:55No, I'm going to San Francisco.
40:56Yeah, later.
40:57No, but where am I?
40:58You don't understand.
40:59Everybody help me.
40:59Everybody help me.
