Original subtitles

Nikito will ride with you to Las Palomas.

He knows the road.

I rode in here alone, Don Felipe.

I'll leave the same way.

That's right, Nikito.

Keep smiling.

It was a good night's sleep.

Maverick.

Starring Jack Kelly and Roger Moore.

Produced by Warner Brothers.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Did you find the marshal? He's not anywhere around town.

Well, somebody better get Don Felipe out of that game.

Them sharpies are skinning him alive.

Well, Don Felipe's a grown man.

Well, maybe so, but he ain't no poker player when he's sober.

And now he's drinking.

I guess he figures he has a right to hang one on after what happened today.

Well, I've got to find Mayor Lambert or somebody.

It seems to me I've heard this Don Felipe... Don Felipe Archuleta.

He owns the Santa Rita Grant in the southern part of the territory.

He's one of them blue -blooded Hidalgos. But he's all right.

Thanks.

I'll raise 200.

I'll see that raised.

Pop you 500 more.

I'll take one.

I think I like my card from the top.

What do you mean?

I mean you're dealt from the bottom.

Nobody calls me a cheat.

You're wearing a gun, use it.

I would not give scum such as you that pleasure. And don't call me scum.

The gun dog.

Salud, Don Felipe.

Well, my health and my gratitude are yours, senor.

I don't believe we've met.

I'm Don Felipe, aren't you later?

Maverick. Bart Maverick.

What are we going to do with these scum?

Let them go.

Don't sell your hands with them.

And now, senor, will you join me for some refreshment?

Coffee.

Yes, coffee.

Coffee is what I could use.

The Santa Rita grant has been in the possession of my family for over 200

When your government annexed New Mexico, they refused to recognize the original

terms of the grant.

And today in court, that decision was upheld.

I grow a little emotional on this subject.

Will you be in Santa Fe long?

For a week.

Then I'm off to El Paso. Let's see.

The horses, they are ready. We are returning, going back home.

I prefer to travel at night.

Once again, let me thank you.

It was nothing.

If you're ever in the vicinity of Hacienda Santa Rita, you must accept my

hospitality.

I will, thank you.

I truly mean that.

Again, many thanks.

Pleasant journey, Don Felipe.

Hasta luego.

Yeah, I think I'll perch up there alongside of you, old -timer, when we

here. What give you that notion?

Well, it could be I get a little lonesome sitting in there all by myself.

You passengers always are griping.

See, they're too crowded or too much room or the roads are too bumpy. I

shouldn't have mentioned.

Here, hurry up and change my teams. I don't want to grow roots here.

Like it or not, you're going to be here for a while, Jake.

All runs are being halted.

Schedule suspended.

For how long?

Well, who knows?

Day, week, or until this trouble's over.

Pardon me, what trouble are you talking about?

Fatsy war parties between here and El Paso.

Really?

Hey, mister.

You look like a gambler to me.

Well, I've been known to indulge.

Well, don't indulge on these premises.

Company orders.

We don't want to hear our passengers going broke on our hands.

That seems a little unreasonable, denying a man of an innocent pastime.

You'll find something else to do.

Like what?

Hunting prairie dogs, perhaps?

Say, wait a minute.

Isn't that Santa Rita Grant somewhere near here?

Yeah, it starts right over that ridge. Extends clean to the border.

Where's the main hacienda?

About eight miles from here.

You got a saddle horse I could use?

I suppose so.

That's fine.

Get a few things out of my bag and be on my way. Tonight, for a change, I'm

going to sleep in a bed.

Don't you remember me?

Could you point that another way, please?

What do you want?

Who is it, Dictito?

Are you married?

I hope I'm not intruding.

Of course not.

Come in.

You're always welcome at Hacienda Santa Rita.

Yukito, take care of Señor Maverick's horse.

I, uh, I don't think he likes me.

Yukito neither likes nor dislikes.

He has only loyalty to me.

Well, that's very commendable.

You have a beautiful place here, Don Felipe.

Well, it's a very lonely place at the moment, Senor Merrick.

My mother and my sisters are at Ciudad Chihuahua for the summer.

A family custom.

The rest of our people are with the herds in the hills.

Oh.

What brings you to our part of the country?

Well, I was on my way to El Paso, but they stopped all the stages.

It seems the Apaches are on one of their We Hate Everybody campaigns again.

So I remembered your most... Cordial invitation.

And, well... I see.

You must be very tired from your long journey.

Yeah.

Come into the house.

Thank you.

That's where you aim that thing.

Very good. You can say that again.

Very good.

No more hot water.

Thank you.

Mamacita served dinner in one hour.

You be ready.

Yeah, I be ready.

Aide de camp to Juan Leonate.

First governor of this territory.

The date was 1597.

Don Arturo received the original grant.

His son built his house.

That's interesting.

We usually think of New Mexico as sort of a young frontier, just becoming

civilized. A hundred years before the United States was even conceived, this

territory was settled.

A pleasant way of life was evolved.

But now your gringo government seems intent upon destroying that way of life.

It is your government now, Don Felipe.

Things will be adjusted.

I was once proud when we came under your flag.

I'm no longer so sure.

Aren't there legal steps that you can take?

The courts are a farce.

Already I have lost one -third, one -third of my holdings to Yankee

What about Washington?

Washington gives us no satisfaction. Mexico City gave us more justice.

No, Mamacita, I don't know.

The dinner was delicious, Mamacita. De nada, senor.

You resume your journey in the morning?

I suppose so.

Well, it's a pity you can't see Santa Rita at its best, but with everyone

away...

You must want a good rest so that you can leave early in the morning.

I'm sorry I can't offer you any entertainment, but as you see, I live

simply here.

Of course.

Oh, you'll find periodicals in both Spanish and English in your room, if you

care to read.

Don Felipe, don't brood about this.

I always go to bed early.

Flippy!

We talk later, Felipe.

I must receive attention. I've been wounded.

I do not need assistance.

I'm always glad to see you, but you shouldn't have come here at this time.

us go inside.

Is he very bad, Felipe?

No, I don't think so.

But he has lost some blood.

On the seat there.

Bring some brandy.

The bullet is large near the bone.

Can you?

We'll try.

He will recover.

Rapidly with some rest.

At the moment, he's a little intoxicated with something trendy.

But with a few hours sleep, he should be all right.

Amasita, watch him.

me what happened.

Perhaps you should tell me.

I'm only a betrothed. What you and my father do is no concern of mine, yet I

suffer the consequences.

All in good time, Carita. All in good time. But who shot Don Manuel?

Don Roberto Lopez or some of his men. Lopez?

It's impossible. He's one of us. You think I lie? Oh, no, of course not,

What happened?

We stopped at the Lopez ranch.

I was to stay there while father came here.

There was a violent argument.

Father rushed me out and we left.

There was a pursuit.

Someone shot him before we got away.

Felipe, I want to know what's going on.

Why can't I tell you now?

I'll not marry someone who won't trust in me.

Our engagement is broken now.

Hold it up.

Your hands off me.

You won't confide in me while my own father is being hunted like a wild

And they even come here, but you have to... I said let me go.

Soledad, you must believe me. I cannot confide in you. Then surely you don't

want someone for a wife you can't confide in. Let me go.

The wedding bands have not been posted.

I'll never marry you.

I hate you.

ask you to leave, Senor Maverick.

Good morning.

There's no time for an explanation. You must leave at once.

Well, this is a sample of your hospitality. I'm only too happy to

You have my deepest apologies.

Well, that's fine.

Do you have time to get dressed, or are you going to throw me out like this?

If you don't, we'll have your horse saddled and ready.

By leaving now, you will lose only a few hours sleep.

If you wait, it may be your life.

You've made your point, Don Felipe.

Don't stretch it.

Ikito will ride with you to Las Palomas.

He knows the road.

I rode in here alone, Don Felipe.

I'll leave the same way.

As you wish.

Have a safe journey.

Thank you.

That's right, Ikito.

Keep smiling.

They followed us here. Lie down, Father. You're safe here. They intended to kill

me.

All I wanted was a good night's sleep.

regret this incident, Senor Maverick.

I had hoped you would have left in time.

That's no Apache war party out there. Those fellas shoot too straight.

Do you mind telling me what's going on around here?

It's a private matter. It does not concern you. It doesn't concern me.

Look, mister, when somebody starts throwing lead at me, it becomes my

I'm sorry, but I cannot discuss the matter further.

Somebody better start giving me some answers. I don't like being made out of

clay pigeon. I'd suggest you talk without the use of your hands. Akito

like it.

I'm going to prove on what's going on around here myself.

You have a right to be angry.

Through no fault of your own, you found your life in jeopardy. My life?

I'd say it was your life, too. Look, there's a small army out there.

Truth of the matter is, your hacienda's in a state of siege.

Don Felipe, do you hear me?

It is I, Lopez.

I hear you, Don Roberto.

I want to talk with you under a flag of truth.

Since when do you and I need a flag of truce to talk?

Since Don Manuel betrayed us.

I will talk outside the wall.

I'm going with you.

Don't give me that fish eye. I have a stake in it, too.

My life, remember?

As you wish.

Ikito, guard the house well.

And now, Senor Maverick.

If you insist on involving yourself in my affairs.

Senor Americano, our ways are not yours.

We handle things ourselves.

Ourselves alone.

But you're declaring war. Somebody's liable to get hurt.

Me, for instance.

Your position is unfortunate.

But the solution is simple.

It is up to Felipe.

He betrayed us, misappropriated the funds we raised.

Our cause meant nothing to him.

I do not believe that.

He was to have purchased the arms a month ago. He did, but they went to his

rebels in Sonora.

He hopes to become el presidente de Mexico through his revolution.

Our problem and money merely set him up in business for himself.

You have proof?

The dying statement of Capitan Ruiz of the Sonora garrison.

One of the officers Don Manuel recruited with our money.

Dying statement?

And where did he die?

At the front of my hacienda wall.

Very bravely, without a blindfold.

We recovered a small part of the gun shipment.

This wall business, is that what you have in mind for Don Manuel?

There will be a judgment.

How does a judgment differ from a trial?

I do not have the time to explain our customs in detail to you.

The way I see it, Don Manuel just swindled you fellas out of a bundle of

For what, I don't know.

But no American court would pass the death sentence for that.

In case it slipped your mind, this is American territory.

I said our ways were different.

For betrayal, we demand death.

Do not grow short, Felipe.

I realize the predicament you are in.

Don Manuel is a father of your betrothed.

But Soledad will understand.

Ortiz and Vallejo will be here any moment.

If you do not surrender Don Manuel, we will attack.

Attack me?

Don't be foolish.

My hacienda is as strong as a port.

You cannot breach the walls.

True, the walls are thick, but we have a remedy for that.

I hope you make the right decision, Felipe.

Toad Lopez was true.

This house was built to withstand attack.

The walls are two feet thick.

At that rate, each room can be cut off and defended.

We can hold out here indefinitely.

Lopez didn't seem to be impressed.

I wonder why.

I wish I knew.

Here, Patron. Come quick.

They're making the first move.

Get him, Yakito.

good shot in bad light.

It's just my luck to be caught up in the middle of a local feud.

Why should that bother you, Senor Merrick?

If we kill each other off, it'll make it easier for you gringos to steal our

land. Isn't that true?

You know, for a man who needs some friends, you're just brimming over with

charm.

This fella shoot pretty good, too, huh?

Yeah, that fella shoot pretty good, too. Him take five shots from three. I get

him next time he shoot.

Those fellas want just one thing, don't they?

I think they made that very clear.

Don Manuel is the man they want.

Yeah.

You don't think it might be a good idea just to save wear and tear to, uh...

Well, maybe... Throw him to the wolves.

No, I didn't say that.

But maybe he might be persuaded to give himself up. There's such a thing as the

law of hospitality.

Well, that didn't stop you from throwing me out of here in the middle of the

night.

Tonya Maverick, I turned you out to try and save your life.

I'm keeping Don Manuel here to save his.

Do you feel well enough to talk to him?

I have survived worse wounds.

The gunfire. Are they preparing to attack?

Yes.

And I think you know why.

We will talk later in privacy.

I'm afraid we must talk now.

I haven't felt it out of presence.

Since your actions have placed her life in danger, I think she is entitled to

know the reasons.

Don Roberto says you have betrayed us.

He lies.

He makes false accusations against me.

I had to flee as rancho with Soledad. But Ortiz and Vallejo believe his

accusations.

They are joining him out there.

So they believe the ravings of Don Roberto. I can't help that.

And Manuel.

Did you purchase the arms with the money we raised?

Of course.

Have you recruited the necessary fighting force?

The best, the regular army.

For use here or in Mexico?

Nonsense. Here, of course.

They wait to do my bidding.

Don't you mean our bidding?

My bidding!

I'm the man they rally around.

Don Manuel, Yankee fighter, gringo hater.

You, Lopez, and the others, you did not believe me when I told you there was no

justice in the Yankee courts.

Now that you've seen the truth, you are ready to accept my course of action.

But it is my bidding!

Do you have to excite him?

More coffee, Don Manuel?

No.

I'll take a cup, Mamacita.

With just a touch of sugar.

I always drink lots of coffee, especially when I keep late hours.

I don't believe I've had the pleasure yet, ma 'am.

I'm Bart Maverick.

This is Senorita Soledad Lozada.

Senorita? This is her father.

Don Manuel.

Yankee fighter and gringo hater.

He was dropping his repulsive, Senor Maverick. So is treason. They can throw

in jail for that.

What is this gringo doing here?

He is my guest.

He was also my companion when I spoke with Don Roberto.

but I believe he is a gentleman and will consider what he learned to be

confidential. Treason is never confidential. I do not like that word,

What would you like to call it? What am I to do?

Stand idly by while they steal my lands?

This army of Don Manuel's, were you planning a revolution?

That is before Don Manuel put his own plan into effect. Revolutions have been

tried before your own country was founded that way. After all other

failed. They also failed in my case and in the case of all the others who have

seen their lands stolen by your government.

Felipe, you haven't taken this to the highest courts.

Gringo talk.

Legal nonsense.

And you, senor, you seem to be a traitor to treason.

How dare you?

If this is true, then nothing could be more despicable.

Don Roberto says you have betrayed our trust.

Sold us out.

And he has no cause to lie.

You can't talk that way to my father. Whatever he did, he had good reason.

Quiet, Soledad.

It's true.

I did use the money to raise an army in Mexico.

But you are behaving stupidly, Felipe.

You are perfectly willing to stage a small demonstration for the sake of a

miserable acres in a country where you are an alien.

But you reject a revolution that can sweep you to great power in your native

land.

My revolution.

You have betrayed us.

But I have given you my hospitality.

And that includes my sanctuary.

And I will not betray that trust.

If we must die for it.

I need no protection from you, Felipe Archuleta.

If I saw fit to leave here, which I don't, those men would not harm me.

I'm afraid that's not quite true, ma 'am.

First thing we asked on Roberto was safe passage out of here for you and me.

They won't let anyone leave here.

Afraid we might bring back help and spoil their plan.

All is quiet. No sign of the attackers.

So? They're still out there. What do you want?

I think maybe now you want me to go find help?

If anyone could get through that ring, you could, Akito.

Then I go. No, no, they will shoot you off the wall the moment you appear.

I not go over wall.

I go under wall.

Back by statue.

Mamacita, she threw out kitchen water.

Ground, much soft.

Brick, much loose.

Let the brush outside wall.

I dig out. I crawl through wall.

I run down that arroyo.

Night or day, nobody see me.

We have horses in a pasture near here.

No, Yukito.

When the attack comes, we will need every gun.

Perhaps later, Armagito.

But, Felipe, that's one of the only chances. Brace up, Senor Maverick.

As I said, we can hold out here for a month if necessary.

Don Roberto doesn't seem to agree. He was awfully confident.

Go back, Yukito.

It's not safe to leave the cell undefended.

And you, Don Manuel, you had better come too.

Are you coming, Senor Maverick?

If you don't mind, I'll stay here and have some of that coffee.

You'd better have it now.

When the attack comes, Mamacita will hide herself in the chimney.

What is it you wish to tell me?

You'd better join us.

In a moment, Felipe. I want to talk to my father.

Well?

This time you went too far.

You ruined all of us.

If this is all you have to say, you may as well remain silent. Oh, no, Father.

I've been silent too long.

I should have spoken when I began to guess what you were planning months ago.

What kind of a daughter are you to call your father to account?

You've never dared speak to me this way before.

Where did you learn the art of insolence, the cult of disobedience?

How would your mother say if she were alive and heard your words of scorn,

for your father? She would have much to say, but not against me.

My mother set great value on the name you gave her. It would break her heart

learn what you're doing to it. The name of Lozada will yet ring through Mexico

with a trumpet call.

No.

It'll be drowned out by the cries of the people you've betrayed, the men you

called your friends.

This talk is futile.

I cannot explain to you my motives, my ambitions, and my goals.

I cannot explain them to you because you would not understand.

What is it you want of me, Soledad?

All I want is to be proud of you.

What are you doing, senor?

I hope you won't give me away.

Why do you make the hole here?

So that Lopez's men won't make a hole in my hide.

I guess I can tell you my secret.

I'm afraid of loud noises like gunfire.

I think my mother was scared by a Texan.

Pobrecito. Poor fellow.

I know how you feel.

I too get scared by the noisy pistolas. I run and hide.

Oh, no.

Then maybe you can help me.

Por cierto, senor, but how?

You keep digging this hole right here.

Pry out all those loose bricks.

Don Felipe will miss me if I stay away too long.

Then when you get the hole big enough for me to escape, you come in and tell

so that I can vamoose before the attack starts.

Uh, Mamacita, if you dig the hole big enough, I'll take you with me.

Father to escape.

Oh, Senor, my... Did you hear your key to a while ago?

Si. Well, that hole in the wall is being dug right now. As soon as it's ready,

I'll get you and Don Manuel out somehow.

Not I.

You go with Father.

What?

I know you condemn him.

He's full of ambition and intrigue, but he doesn't deserve to be killed like an

animal. Now, look, lady, I don't condemn anybody.

But I do say your father's got to escape if he can.

The minute he's gone down, Roberto will have no reason to continue his siege.

Your father can save more lives than his own. Now, why don't you want to escape

with him?

I must stay with Felipe.

Felipe? You said you hated him. You were throwing things at him.

I always fight with Felipe.

I love him very much.

Algo prepares for the end.

No quarter asked, none given.

One should not consider defeat until the battle has been joined, senor.

I'd rather not consider the battle at all.

I, uh, I hope you'll forgive a practical suggestion in this world where the

grand gesture is routine.

By all means.

Mamacita is making an opening through the wall.

With whose permission?

Well, I took the liberty.

Now, if you'll just lead your people out of here, we can be halfway to Santa Fe

before we're missed.

No objective, no attack.

Simple.

Archelette does not turn his back on the enemy.

And an ostrich sticks his head in the sand.

I have no time for your English riddles.

All right, I'll put it in simple American.

Because of your unrealistic code, a lot of innocent people are going to be

killed around here tomorrow.

Like you?

Like Soledad and Mamacita for two.

Bullets aren't selective.

People cling so tenaciously to life.

We have been taught there are worse things than to die for a cause.

Cause? A bunch of stubborn, sulking hotheads decide to kill each other over

deluded old man they despise?

That's a cause?

The Americans have no idea of these matters.

You have a short memory, Don Felipe.

I heard tell of some Americans who died at Valley Forge in Gettysburg for a

cause they believed in.

And there was a little skirmish at a Texas church, a place called the Alamo.

I remain here.

All right, stay and die, but let me take those who want to leave with me.

I think you hide your real motives with your consent for others.

How's that again?

Let me put it to you in plain American.

I think you want to go because you're a yellow dog.

The odds tomorrow will be bad enough, Don Felipe, without us increasing them.

The sun is up.

Do you see anything out there?

Not yet.

What can they be waiting for?

They haven't fired a shot for an hour.

Is that good or bad?

It is neither.

They will attack soon.

How long will you pretend to hold them off?

Father, how can you say such a thing?

He has conspired with them.

He is going to surrender me after he makes a gallant stand for your benefit.

You know that's not true.

He wants to humiliate me, see me beg for my life.

But I am not afraid.

There are a pack of coyotes out there.

I will fire the first shot at them.

Don Felipe, listen to me.

What do you want?

It is past dawn.

I will give you one minute to deliver Don Manuel.

Then put me before the fighting squad.

Don't get me over.

Don't get me over.

I will protect you, John Manuel.

As long as you are within these walls, I will protect you.

Now calm yourself.

Bring him some brandy. Quickly.

Yes, senor.

Go to the kitchen and make sure Mamacita has barricaded it well.

Don't be ashamed, Preciosa. I understand.

You can't possibly understand.

That's what Lopez was talking about.

You get out here with your father.

It's our only chance, Soledad.

When Don Roberto discovers that I'm gone, he will cease the attack.

Go on, Father.

Don't make me more ashamed of you than I am already.

Ashamed of me?

Go!

You would not be ashamed of me if I were a dishonored corpse at Don Roberto's

feet?

No more than I am now.

Wait. Cut.

Agarresto.

I'll always be proud of him.

I hope somehow he knows that.

Angelique?

Don Felipe.

You're leaving us.

I cannot say that I blame you.

You'd be most welcome to stay longer, Senor Maverick.

Yes, you may stay as long as you wish. I am leaving, but I don't want to leave

alone.

Then what does that mean?

Well, I want you to come along with me.

For what purpose?

To turn me over to the authorities?

No, I don't turn people over to the law.

I don't feel that close to it.

You're worried about what you call treason.

Don't be, senor.

It's all over and done with, isn't it, Felipe?

No, ma 'am, I'm not worried.

It's just that I think you ought to go along with me to answer some of the

questions that are going to be asked about what happened here.

Mm -hmm.

And I think... You had better go, Senor Maverick, and go now.

Come on down, Felipe. That gun is empty. I saw you firing it before the bomb

went off. Remember?

How about it?

Senor Maverick.

For someone who professes to be a coward, you are a very brave man.

I'll pack my things.

We'll go together.

Thank you for doing this, senor.

I know it's for the best.

It was nothing.

Who is the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

Riding the trail to who knows where. Luck is his companion.

Camden is his game.

Smooth as a handle on a gun.

Maverick is the name.

Wild as a wind in Oregon.

Blowing up a canyon.

Easier to tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell.

Fare thee well, Annabelle.

Luck is a lady. that he loves the best.

Nice to see New Orleans, living on Jackson, Queens.

Maverick is a legend of the West.

Rebel, I'll ring your bell.

Farewell, Annabelle.

Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

Nice to see New Orleans, living on Jackson, Queens.

Maverick is a legend of the West.

Maverick is a legend of the West.
