All language subtitles for Bret Maverick 3

Tonight on Brett Maverick. It's
official. The railroad is coming to

The railroad could be sweet news for
Sweetwater.

What about the Maverick situation? I
heard there was some trouble this

Not nearly as much trouble as there's
going to be.

And bad news for Maverick.

You've all misjudged me. If you think
I'm going to fold my hand.

That's very good drives to Maverick. I
knew I could depend on you.

All right, Maverick. I hope you know
what you're doing.

Trust me.

Too many dusty trail towns, too few and
far between.

Tired saloons and sawdust covered
floors.

Too many one more showdowns and aces
over queens.

Winning's just a way of keeping score.

My old pappy always told me your fate is
in your hand.

Stand, pat, or draw, it's yours to
choose.

Luck don't have a thing to do with how
you play the game.

Maverick didn't come here to lose.

Maverick didn't come here to lose.

Maverick didn't come here to lose.

20 years of leave behind.

Things I was moving too fast to take
with me. Souvenirs, books, tools of the

trade. And just what trade is that?

Yeah, I think I'm gonna like it here.

Look.

There they are again.

Been here for a week now.

I wonder who they're surveying for.

Nobody knows.

They ain't seen it.

Come on, come on, let's get this up on
the porch.

You got a hammer?

Sure you know which hand to use?

Are you always this friendly, Si?

Just when I take on a new owner who
won't last till first frost, Si is what

friends call me. And you, it's still Mr.

Whittaker.

This was my dear old Pappy's rocker.

You just watch me fill it with peaceful
hours.

Never

stick,

boss. Never in a million years.

Don't bet on it. No guns. That apply to
Maverick? Especially to Maverick.

Thought you were partners.

He has to abide by the same rules as
everyone else. And Jack, stop watering

whiskey. You also want to stop turning a
profit, Tom?

As long as I'm running the Red Ox,
everybody gets a fair shake.

Del Grado, that means I want you to
clean up the games.

It sure is quiet here.

Would be if you stopped popping your
knuckles.

Two degrees warmer than last night.

You can tell that by looking at your
watch?

Yeah.

Ow.

Cricket chirps.

Hey, count them by the minute. Take away
40, divide by 4.

And you add 50. Gives you the precise
temperature every time.

Oh, I ever got along without that piece
of information.

Well, I think I'll mosey on in town, see
what's doing at the Red Ox.

First frost.

Hell, you won't last till the 4th of
July.

Ain't nobody taking my gun.

You don't come in, Luke.

How about it, boys?

Get them or stay out. It's up to you.

Evening, Tom. Looks like you're doing a
brisk trade.

Not so fast, Marbury.

You need to lose some weight.

Oh, come on, Tom. I'm just in for a
friendly game of cards.

We agreed it would be my way.

Tom, playing cards without guns is like
trying to shuffle without bones.

I feel naked without mine, too.

That's the way it's got to be.

I hope we don't regret it.

The beauty of the rule is that nobody
gets in any serious trouble if nobody's

armed.

I try to leave the patrons some of their
mortgage money.

Don't worry. I'm just in for an evening
of relaxation.

Nightfall at the Lazy Ace gets hectic,
doesn't it?

May I join you?

Right.

All right, I'm in, I'm in.

There you go.

Anyone find out what them fellas are
doing in Sweetwater yet? Nope, but I got

the young one primed.

Have another on a red ox.

Thanks, Jack.

Nice to see a friendly face.

Long way from home, huh, son?

Yeah, railroad man ain't got a home.

Railroad? Coming to Sweetwater?

York, you think by the inch, talk by the
yard.

The railroad's coming to Sweetwater?
Look, friend, it may or may not be.

just doing a feasibility survey, so I'd
sure appreciate it if you'd kind of...

Hey! Hey! Hey, the railroad is coming to
Sweetwater!

Sweetwater? It might come through here.

How much is a good coming? A month.

Miss, sir, get out.

I suggest you tuck in your crew,

and I'll see you back at the hotel.

being someone the day you took off that
star.

Luke.

And I'm not going to be shooting an
unarmed man like you're thinking about

doing.

Guess your rules only apply to some
folk, huh?

Go home, Luke, while you can.

I guess I just forgot about this one.

Gentlemen, we've got a game.

Hey, boys!

Drinks on the house!

They answered your wire.

Linus Garrick is the chief purchasing
agent for the PG &O.

What's wrong?

It's the Grinnelli gear again.

The railroad is coming just in time.

We need the additional revenue for a new
press.

Clarence has been in the family for 20
years. I'm sure he can make it just a

little bit longer.

It really is happening, isn't it? Too
bad your father couldn't have lived to

the day.

But we're going to come out with a
commemorative edition that would make

proud.

Rodney, get this to the Decker brothers.

Tell them we need a new one by Thursday
at the latest.

Right.

I can understand your concern, Mr. Crow,
but I'm under strict orders not to

discuss the matter.

I control most of the land in this area.

I should have been told first.

Telegram, sir.

Thank you.

Well, it appears you'll get your answers
this afternoon.

The vice president arrives by private
coach.

Good day, gentlemen.

Rose, how are you?

Welcome to Sweetwater, sir.

Evidently, the element of secrecy is no
longer working in our favor.

You must understand that we're only
exploring the possibility of bringing

tracks through Sweetwater.

We're also considering an alternate
route that would bring them on 100 miles

the north through Bitter Creek.

Says here that we'd have to post a $100
,000 contingency bond?

Well, that's standard and refundable
upon the inauguration of the Sweetwater

station. Now, Bitter Creek had no
trouble raising the bond, but they're

experiencing resistance from a few
landowners.

There would be no problem here.

Our entire population is anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the railroad.

So I've noticed.

We'd hoped to make our major land
purchases before the word leaked out.

Now, what route are you proposing?

Well, there's only one feasible route,
and according to our purchasing agent,

you have most of the transecting land on
the mortgage.

I doubt if there's a route through
Sweetwater where that isn't the case,

Austin. Then may we count upon your
assistance should we run into any

You have my complete cooperation.

Good. Well, then.

go in over the Rincon Pass, then hug the
west side of the Haseyampa Valley into

Sweetwater. From there, it's a straight
route right into Tucson.

The, uh, west side of the valley.

Any other route would mean more trestles
and a very uneconomical grading factor.

You do control the land.

Oh, yes.

All but 100 acres.

Right here.

It's that gambler's land right in the
path.

Will there be any problems?

Oh, no, no, Mr. Austin.

Nothing that we can't handle.

Well, what did you think you were
getting into? A church?

Church? It's a clip joint, and I need
your help to clean it up.

Look, Brett, with the railroad coming in
here, the Red Ox is an honest gold

mine. We don't need to run a shady
operation.

Well, not we, Tom. You. I'm a silent
partner, remember?

And I got my own problems with the
railroad.

And I'm still waiting to hear what
you're going to do about them.

Look, I got a hunch Shifty Del Grado is
dealing seconds.

And I need your help to catch him in the
act.

Your sense of fair play could cost us a
fortune.

And take a look at the gaming devices.

I gotta know they're being run square.

It's important to me. Yeah, well, my old
pappy always said that importance comes

in two sizes, yours and mine.

And since the railroad is about to plow
my ranch under, you'll forgive me if I'm

a bit preoccupied. How are you gonna
stop them? Oh, even the least try.

Men have been killed trying to fight the
railroad.

Only the kind with guts.

There's always a way around everything,
including the railroad. They are not

gonna take this ranch.

Oh, you're going to make a stand, are
you? With both feet. Well, you better

plant them quick because them survivors
are setting up in the south pasture.

I could use some moral support.

I could use some help cleaning up the
red ox.

Morning, gents. Pete Schroeder, BGN.
Pack it up and get it out.

I'd like to keep this in a friendly vein
if we can.

I can understand why you're upset.

We got a job to do.

Well, do it on somebody else's land. You
got no right to be here.

Well, I guess you haven't heard of the
new expansion concepts called eminent

domain. Sound like just more of that
legal government stealing to me, eminent

domain. Easy, boys, easy.

We don't have any need for that.

Can we talk?

Yeah? Excuse us a minute.

You're not handling this right.

Well, good. I was wondering when that
moral support was gonna start.

You only surefire way out of a situation
like this.

You put the biggest one on his duff.

The rest of them will pick him up and
carry him off.

I punch Schroeder. That's what you call
moral support?

Nope.

Moral support is I'm gonna do it for
you.

Oh, well, if you think that'll work.

You'll help me clean up the redox.

Right up to Shifty's hole now.

My friend would like a word with you.

Nothing personal, but... Well, it
usually works.

Oh, and I usually don't need any help to
almost get my butt stomped either.

Well, he's clean for now.

Honest, boss, I don't know how this
stuff got here. Get your clothes and get

of here.

Railroad man's here to see you,
Maverick.

Mr. Maverick.

Linus Garrick.

I apologize for Schroeder.

I think I found a way to settle this
matter fairly.

You see, with the minor recalculations,
we can skirt your land instead of coming

right through the middle of it. Then all
we need do is purchase a right -of

-way. No deal. I don't want to spend the
rest of my life next to a railroad

track. Well, it's your choice.

Accept our generous offer or we have the
government condemn your property and

turn it over to us.

Excuse me, I have to see the sheriff
about a complaint.

Somebody nasty bruises, Mr. Guthrie.

Schroeder seems to be getting better
with age.

Well, he'd better stay out of here if he
wants to get any older.

Tom, it's the Decker brothers.

Oh, no.

Not about them.

You're right, Maverick. You probably do
have a case.

Like July is probably hot.

Are you going to arrest them? Ah, but
you must understand.

I can't do anything to jeopardize the
situation.

We've been waiting for years for the
railroad.

Sir, the Decker brothers are going at it
hammer and tong.

You got three?

I'll handle this.

Well, okay, Mitch.

There are a couple of things you should
know about the Decker brothers.

Seems you're forgetting who's sheriff
now.

I said I'll handle it.

Suit yourself.

Break it up. Break it up, boys.

I wouldn't do that, Mitch.

I told you to butt out.

Come on, get up.

Get it out.

Get it out.

Give me that arm.

I got him.

Let's go.

You're not helping here, Sturgis.

I have over $70 ,000 in the trust fund,
and it is still coming in.

Now, your commemorative addition is
going to help put us over the top.

When can we expect it out?

Editorials written, typeset. We're just
waiting for the Decker brothers to make

us a Grinelli gear.

I'd say day after tomorrow.

Almost all the landowners have fallen
into line.

What about the Maverick situation? I
heard there was some trouble this

Not nearly as much trouble as there's
going to be.

Now, I'm not going to sell.

You're not going to run me off my land.
and I'll take the bet of anyone that

says otherwise.

Not selling.

Don't sound any different when you say
it, does it, Crow?

Give me credit for a little more brains
than that.

I mean, you're just a drifter who got
very lucky in a poker game. You ended up

with a little property and now you're
trying to parlay it into even a larger

profit. I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you $60 ,000 for it right now.

You could drift an awful long way from
Sweetwater with money like that. It's

for sale.

And you tell your Mr. Austin to keep his
men off my land, or I will.

No, you won't.

Mr. Austin is my guest. I don't want you
even near him.

We're in competition with Bitter Creek
for the Root Maverick. Please don't do

anything that would push it over into
their column.

Are you speaking as a reporter, a
concerned citizen, or a lumberjack?

You know, I think I really misjudged
you.

You've all misjudged me.

If you think I'm going to fold my hands.

We will confiscate your lamp.

Just try.

Maverick!

Well,

I just want to say that it'd be all
right if you want to call me Si.

Lumberjack. Well, we've raised the bond
money, and we will do everything in our

power to expedite the passage of the
railroad through our area, Mr. Austin.

Yes, you've been most cooperative, and
that will be taken into consideration

when it becomes time to determine the
final route.

Mr. Austin?

In here, Zeke.

I'll take it.

Oh, dear.

Home office.

Another delay in section 109.

If I could just buy a little more time.

If you gentlemen will excuse me, I am
very tired.

Oh, of course.

Good night.

Good night. Good night, gentlemen.

Good night.

How could you tell him we already raised
the bond money?

Because if we haven't got the money by
the day after tomorrow, I will put the

remainder in myself.

But, Elijah, you've already donated $25
,000.

And I've waited 20 years for this, and
I'm not going to let a few thousand

dollars stop me now.

To our railroad.

Well, I'll be damned.

Franchi, Montana.

I thought you'd retired.

When the history of this territory is
written, Sweetwater will be on the first

page. Oh, I wouldn't start dancing on
the tables just yet if I were you.

What are you doing here?

Catching snakes.

Your Mr. Austin is none other than
Frenchy Montana, the master of the big

charade.

You remember the water rights swindle in
Nacogdoches?

Mr. Crowe.

You assured me that your guest suite
would afford more privacy than the

I see that is not the case.

Oh, come on, Frenchy, it's all over. You
know, he once sold the same riverboat

to six different cities.

In my own home, I protect my guests from
this sort of dementia.

That's very good try, Mr. Maverick. Very
good.

But you'd say anything to save your
land.

The lazy ace was never in jeopardy.

No, but to make it look like the
railroad is really coming to Sweetwater,

have to have a few disgruntled
landowners. It's all part of his game.

Good night, Mr. Maverick.

You're really going to eat this bull
muffin, aren't you?

Oh, please.

No, no, no. It's beautiful, Frenchy.
It's beautiful.

Oh, firing the young surveyor. Now, that
was a real nice touch.

I am very sorry, Mr.

Ben, go get the sheriff.

No, no.

Hey, it's your money. I'm no crusader. I
was just leaving.

Good night, man.

Well, if you gentlemen are harboring any
doubts, now's the time to express it,

and I'll be on my way to Bitter Creek.

No, no, no, no. That won't be necessary.

I assure you.

Good.

I'll wire the home office and recommend
Sweetwater.

We should have the final route to
termination by tomorrow.

You know, I figured you for a fool when
you signed over 75 % of the red ox to

me.

Now I know why.

Well, that's the only way I can duck 100
% of the work.

I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a saloon
keeper, though.

No, I'm not. No, this is the life for
me, fishing.

I'm going to get me some quality bulls,
be a country gentleman.

Kind of like your dear old Pappy, huh?

Well, it can't be all bad. He lived in
93.

After all the gaming and chasing all
these years, I'm perfectly content to

on the bank and watch the water go by.

No more angles to figure, schemes to
concoct.

No more horse waiting in the alley.

Peace.

Quiet. This is songbirds, wildflowers,
sunshine.

Yeah.

Peaceful, long, empty hours.

After week.

Sounds awful, don't it?

Especially when there's a big game going
on right under my nose.

And a big fat poke at the end of the
rainbow, too.

How are you going to start that again?

Well, if the people of Sweetwater are so
bent on throwing all their money away,

how can I sit by in all conscience and
let Frenchie Montana end up with it?

Yeah, I could do that.

Do that, and then if he came back with
that, I could... Nah, nah, he's too

for that.

Yeah, he'd expect it.

I think I'm getting too complex. A
simple bag switch, maybe. Yeah, yeah,

that's... Nah.

No, I need help with that.

There's nobody in town I can trust.

How would you like to make $50 ,000,
huh? Then you could hire someone else to

run the Red Ox for you.

Look, even if it is a con, I could...
If... If the town would lose its money.

So, what have they ever done for me?

I can't help you steal their money.

I like Sweetwater.

I don't know why.

Crowe bought the sheriff's election for
Dowden and ordered you out of town.

If I hadn't offered you the Red Ox deal,
you'd be hiring your gun out to the

highest bidder right now.

You talk about your misplaced loyalties.

You forget it. I'll just do it without
you.

You would, too.

All right, Maverick.

I'm in.

If you can prove it's a con.

I knew I could depend on you.

It's Sweetwater!

Sweetwater! It's Sweetwater!

It's Sweetwater that picked us! It's
Sweetwater!

It's Sweetwater that picked us!

You know where to go? What'd you say?
Right, Tom.

And why are you still here?

A special courier will be arriving at
noon tomorrow with the documents.

There will be a signing ceremony, and
then the courier will leave with the

signed documents and the bond money.

Once it's confirmed by wire from the
home office, it's official. The railroad

coming to Sweetwater.

And us without a Grinnelly, dear.

that little show you gave at Crow's last
night. The whole town has.

I'm beginning to think you're crazy.

The whole town does.

What makes you think it's a con?

Oh, I don't. I was wrong.

No, the railroad's coming, all right.
You heard him. The signing ceremony's

tomorrow at noon.

I myself sent a wire to the PG &O main
office requesting a photo of its vice

president for publication.

It came on the stage today, and it's I
.T. Austin.

Well, you're very thorough, and as I
said, I was mistaken.

They also confirmed that they're
considering the Sweetwater line.

I also know that Crow has wired for and
received information once when Austin

arrived, and again last night, quietly,
after your little scene.

Well, he's smarter than I thought.

Where are you both going?

Honey, he's going to prove to me it is a
car.

Got three.

This could be amusing. Do you mind if I
tag along?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Would you tell me something?

Do you own a dress?

Nobody reads stories written by people
in dresses.

I'll get my horse and be right with you.

I thought you were supposed to be the
silent type.

Well, if it is a con, who better to
expose it than Mary Lou? I don't want to

expose it, Tom.

There's no profit in that.

Uh -huh.

Well, probably be somewhere where you
can't see the lines from the road.

He had to control communications in and
out of Sweetwater.

Normal telegrams were intercepted and
relayed, and then the ones of an

nature like Crow's and Mary Lou's
stopped right here, and the appropriate

sent back.

That barrage of telegrams from the
Denver home office originate here.

What about the photographs Mary Lou got
in the mail?

That's simple. They intercept the
request, wire cohort in Denver, he puts

the post.

It could also be a legitimate line crew.
They're always working on the lines

through here.

Uh, I guess you're right. They're
probably legitimate.

Well, the one with the cup of coffee
standing up looks like the young

that Garrick fired at the Red Ox.

Wow, he's lucky he got a job so soon,
huh?

Yeah, I guess I'm wrong.

Better be going.

What do you think, Tom?

I think he's on to something.

And what's he planning now?

I don't know the details, but it'll
happen at the signing ceremony.

You know, you're a real fountain once
you get started, Tom.

Look, I had some suspicions. I was
wrong. Let's let it go at that. What are

going to do tomorrow?

And you're a real sledgehammer, you know
that? If you were any good at your job,

you'd be hitting Austin over the head
with a bunch of questions instead of

getting cow -eyed at the mention of a
railroad.

Sledgehammer.

Lumberjack.

Terrific.

It's becoming a younger man's game.

Not much longer to play.

Maybe the doctors are wrong.

We both know better roads.

Anyway, just 24 more hours and we're off
to Florida.

Yes? Telegraph.

Thank you.

I hope he had enough sense not to foul
another man's game.

I was wrong.

Time to deal Mr.

Maverick out permanently.

Overholt. U .S. dispatch.

Plank D's.

Rieger security.

Stock certificate.

Plymouth Express, man. Well, the odds
are he's going to be carrying one of

these. Sheriff's badge.

So we can just take them all since we
don't know which one.

Essay reports, phony mustaches.

You got your parts straight for
tomorrow?

I ain't agreed to nothing yet.

Oh, my God, what are those?

They're just fake diamonds.

Come on, Si, I need your help.

Oh, you do, huh?

I ain't so sure it shouldn't be Mr.
Whitaker again. Fake diamonds?

Don't quit on me, Maverick! I built her
with my own hands, so I ain't gonna let

her go!

All right, gentlemen, hold perfectly
still.

Straight size. She's all yours.

You got it straight?

There's nothing straight about it.

But I got it.

He's using a Klamath Expressman.

There we are, the Klamath Expressman.

Now, you remember, you only got ten
seconds after I light the cigar. What if

decides he wants to double -check the
contents?

That should take care of a cursory
glance.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Well, trust me.

I know better than that.

My old pappy never said anything smart
in his life.

Mr. I .T. Austin, vice president in
charge of expansion for the PG &O

I present Sweetwater's good faith bond
for $100 ,000.

This was raised by the leaders of our
community, who

by this act have taken a giant step into
the future.

With modern age of bank drafts and
telegraphic account confirmation, why is

we're giving Mr. Austin cash?

The PG &O has lost over a million
dollars due to bank failures in the last

months.

They have formed a new policy, which I
have confirmed by wire with the main

office, that all bonds of intention will
be for cash.

Chrome, above all, is an astute
businessman.

I'm sure he wouldn't let loose of all
that money unless he'd checked out all

angles. Mr. Maverick has a point,
although I am not exactly sure which end

the sword it's on.

Look, I'd like to admit that I was
wrong. This is a great day in

history, and I just want to be a part of
it.

Oh, Mr. Maverick, your sudden conversion
is most interesting.

Who am I to stand in the way of golden
opportunity?

Let me take some precautions considering
this man's reputation.

Sheriff Dowd, you will keep your eye on
Mr. Maverick until after the courier's

departure? Have you actually contacted
Bitter Creek to see if they were ever in

competition for the line?

Well, now, I was through there last
week, and that's all they're talking

Be careful, Donna.

Godspeed.

Through a shoe, Mr. Austin!

By gosh, two shoes!

In the future.

I wish you'd consider the long -range
effects of your short -sighted justice.

You could have cost Sweetwater her
rightful place in history.

I do apologize for the delay, but it
won't be much longer. Nobody can show a

horse faster than the Decker brothers.

You can start a fire like that.

That was very careless of me. There's
just no saving these wooden buildings

they get started.

So I'm told a fire could create quite a
diversion.

Oh, I would never do anything like that.
No, I've always been afraid of wolf

rats. Wolf rats?

Oh, yes, ma 'am. They live in packs
underneath the straw.

Terribly sorry. I thought it was
wrapped.

Oh! Get up!

Check the bags!

Come on. I was standing right here all
the time.

Check them anyway!

It's all right, sir.

Of course they are.

So the great maverick ends up holding an
empty bag.

How poetic.

Thank you. Goodbye, everybody.

Thank you very much.

Rotten Guthrie. He never made the
switch.

Oh, Guthrie's too honest to cheat
another man.

Maybe it was that fancy con man double
-thinking you. You ever think of that?

I'd rather not.

What is the meaning of this? Who the
hell do you think you are coming in here

like this?

Virgil Stubbs, chief of security, PG &O
Railroad.

According to that young man, you've got
some folks here representing themselves

as being with the outfit.

We take a very dim view of that.

So much for Florida.

Sorry.

Not quite.

They left town an hour ago with the
money.

Well, I hate to tell them I told you so,
but I think I will anyway just because

it'll feel so good.

I didn't have a whole lot to do with it.

I have to thank that man there. It was
his plan.

With all your abuse, he found a way to
take you off the hook.

Sounds like a mighty good citizen to me.

Possibly we were a little bit hasty in
our judgment of you.

Therefore, I would like to thank you on
behalf of the town.

Well, I didn't do anything more than any
other good citizen would have done.

Yeah, well, some good citizen burnt down
our barn. I say that man's responsible.

Sigh, sigh.

Come on, it's just a barn. Just a barn.

We'll rebuild it.

We?

You couldn't drive a nail into a
snowbank without bending it weak, he

Maybe. everyone could pitch in and help
to show their gratitude for your

gallantry.

Welcome to Sweetwater.

That should be the last one.

Well, now I can sleep at night.

Look at that, Jack.

Clean games, not a gun in the house.

You said I couldn't make it stick.

You know, I've never had any trouble
sleeping.

Ever since you gave Crow that money

Hey, Tom, the fella here says he wants
to buy the house a drink.

the DNRG Railroad.

And they said you couldn't make it
stick.
