How long you, uh, plannin' on holding me here, Silvan?

That ain't none of your concern, mister.

Just don't you stir up any ruckus, that's all.

I'm not planning to start any trouble.

Not right now.

I sure hope you boys are gettin' paid enough for this job.

And that ain't none of your business neither, mister.

Maybe not.

The law doesn't go for holdin' a man prisoner.

Especially when that man happens to be a..

United States marshal.

Maverick.

Starring James Garner and Jack Kelly.

Produced by Warner Bros.

A Warner Bros. Television production.

A big, noisy, boomtown is no place for a man

who, like myself, enjoys a more peaceful

and less complicated surrounding.

But when a man suddenly finds himself in alarming need

of immediate opportunity..

Then the bigger the boomtown, the better.

And Virginia City was the biggest boomer of them all.

Queen, hearts, straight.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Would you care to try your luck, sir?

Uh... no. No, thank you.

Well, bless my heart if it isn't Captain Rory Fitzgerald.

Old Fitz himself.

Uh, sorry, old chap, but I cannot recall our ever meeting.

- Same old Fitz. - Now see here!

Ah-ah, no more of your games, captain.

You still owe me $4000 from the last time we played.

A little poker game in St. Louis about seven months ago?

Well, then, maybe a look at the signature on this IOU

might refresh you... Well, just hand over the $4000.

I'm sorry, Bart.

Now, Fitz, look, this is ridic..

Uh, make sure there are four packages for the countess.

Oh, my dear Bart, how good to see you after...

- Four thousand dollars. - Of course, in a few days.

Now. I'll take that money now.

I-impossible, my friend

considering my present financial circumstances.

What about this fancy carriage?

Grand, isn't it? But not mine.

Pity.

Now, we must get together in the very very near future.

And at that time, I will gladly explain...

You'll explain everything right now, and none of your Irish gab.

Irish gab?

As a former officer of the Inniskilling Dragoon, sir...

Fitz..

Oh, alright then, no blarney.

This carriage, the horses, that bedecked lackey there

they all belong to the Countess Lizette Overne De La Fontaine.

Countess?

My word of honor, old boy.

That is the pure absolute truth.

At the moment, even I am owned by the countess.

No, as her social secretary.

Her soc..

You know I'd never confess to that if it wasn't the truth.

So, if you tell me where you're staying, we'll get together...

Well, any place you're staying, captain, will suit me just fine.

But it's only a matter of time, and I'll have your money for ya.

- Don't you trust me? - With all my heart, captain.

Just so long as I'm close enough to reach out and grab you.

Say, Fitz, uh, this countess of yours, is she, uh...

- Now, see here, Bart... - No, no, no, I mean attractive.

Oh, a suitable subject for your celebrated Irish charm.

My dear Bart, the Countess De La Fontaine

happens to be dull, fat, and 50.

A bit of an old baggage, you might say.

Well, you'll-you'll have to forgive me now, me lad.

The countess is waiting in her suite.

The poor old soul is positively lost without me.

I'd like a room, please.

Captain Fitzgerald tells me this is the finest hotel in town.

Finest in the west, Mister, uh, Maverick.

Then you do know Captain Rory Fitzgerald.

Of course, a fine gentleman, sir.

I'd like something as close to the captain as possible..

Uh, business deal. We'll be spending a lot of time together.

The captain is in 217. The closest I have is 219, sir.

Well, that will be fine.

Beautiful isn't she, sir?

She looks a little familiar. Who is she?

Nobility, Mr. Maverick. Real nobility.

That was the Countess De La Fontaine.

That's the countess?

Bit of an old baggage, wouldn't you say?

Uh, it's a private joke, old boy.

The gentleman that was walking with the countess, who is he?

Oh, that's Mr. Mason, sir.

Placer Jack Mason.

- The money king? - The biggest.

Sorta the diamond in the rough, huh?

The roughest and the richest.

That's what I hear, too.

I can't begin to tell you how delighted

how overjoyed I am for you two.

May your cup of happiness stay as full as Killarney's lakes.

May I have your permission to dance with the bride-to-be, sir?

- Well... - Doggone my tired old eyes!

Good old Captain Fitz! It's been a coon's age, ain't it?

'Seein' you again makes me wanna kick up my heels.'

You'll have to excuse me, but seein' old Fitz

sittin' here big as life, that kinda makes me lose all control.

It's no harm done, mister, uh..?

Uh, uh, this is a-an old, um..

Uh, Mr. Bart Maverick.

Bart, this is Mr. Placer Jack Mason.

- How do you do, Mr. Mason? - Maverick.

Oh, and, uh, the Countess De La Fontaine.

Countess?

Captain, you mean a real countess?

Well, it's a sincere pleasure, ma'am.

Uh... countess.

The pleasure is mine, monsieur.

Doggone it! Fitz, it is good to see you again.

Why, let's see, it's been about, uh, seven months.

'St. Louis, right?'

Here I go bustin' in on a private party..

And spoutin' off at the mouth like an old fool.

I'm sorry. Excuse me, Fitz, I'll see you..

Now, wait. Sit down and join the jubilee, Maverick.

Now... I don't think I...

Oh, now, no arguments. The more, the merrier. Right, my dear?

Ah, oui.

Well, as long as it's a celebration.

It sure is.

Waiter, bring me another glass, please!

Yes, sir, it's the happiest night of my life.

You show him, Lizette, honey.

Yep, me and the countess, we just got ourselves engaged.

Well... congratulations, countess.

And you, too, sir.

'Thank you.'

Uh, I hear you say you want to dance with the countess?

- Well, I-I thought... - Well, go ahead!

Go ahead, man. Don't be bashful.

Now, you don't have to stick around on my part, Fitz.

Go ahead.

Countess.

Uh, don't hold him too tight, honey.

Well, there's no accountin' for female taste.

Knew a woman in the Mother Lode Country

kept a rattlesnake for a pet.

Well, I've met a couple of snakes in my time

that kept a woman for a pet.

Maverick, you're a card! Give me your glass.

Yes.

Well, here's to the future Mrs. Placer Jack Mason.

Ah!

She certainly is a beautiful woman.

I'll sure drink to that.

You must be new to Virginia City.

Don't recall seeing you around.

Well, I manage to pass through every now and then.

On business or, uh, pleasure?

Well, business in Virginia City has a strange way

of turning into pleasure.

Maverick, you ain't just a card, you're the whole deck!

Oh, my! Ain't she somethin'?

Fitzgerald.

I sure do like that friend of yours.

He's a ring-tailed catamount.

Yes.

A delightful chap.

How long have you been in America, countess?

Oh, about two months. Perhaps a little longer.

Really?

Seems strange finding someone like you here in Virginia City.

Strange, monsieur? But why?

I find it so delightful here.

So gay, so enchante.

Oh, I don't know. I just figured that someone like a countess

would be heading for our bigger cities.

Like Chicago or St. Louis.

Uh... a place like New Orleans, maybe?

Well, perhaps one day I will visit these cities, monsieur.

Right now, I'm very happy here.

You should be, especially with a man like Placer Jack there.

I intend to be, monsieur.

Funny how you keep reminding me of somebody.

- Really? - Yes, even your name.

Lizette.

Yeah, even the name.

Alright, Maverick. You can stop racking your brain.

You might as well get it over with now.

Liz Bancroft.

Sure, New Orleans, two years ago.

That pretty little card deal...

The honest card dealer, Maverick. Don't you forget it.

Look, I remember you as being a right kind of guy.

I mean, what can you gain by telling Placer Jack?

Who ever gave you the idea I had any intention of telling him?

Mason's a big boy, he's grown up.

He, uh, should be capable of handling his own affairs by now.

Thanks, Bart.

That entrance!

Storming over to the table like a-a corn-fed farm boy!

And that outfit!

We agreed to play it square, remember?

Like you telling me the countess was dull, fat, and past 50?

That has nothin' to do with it.

Now, look, Fitz, all I want is my $4000.

I don't know what you're doing, but if you'll pay me

I'll stay out of your way.

You're trying to blackmail me?

Blackmail? After you skipped out owing me money?

Now, look, Fitz. You pay me, and I'll disappear

as fast as a white chip in a losing streak.

But until then..

Well, old Placer Jack and me will get along just fine.

Like a couple of hogs in a waller.

Goodnight.

Rush it up, sis!

Hi.

Is this Mr. Mason's place?

Well, do you live here?

Well, I'm looking for Mr. Mason.

- What for? - Well, I'm a friend of his.

Oh.

He invited me to stop over this afternoon.

Well, is he around?

Uh..

Would you mind telling Mr. Mason that Bart Maverick is calling?

Come ridin' lookin' for pa.

Says he's a friend. Claims pa invited him over.

Says his name is Bart Maverick.

I was careful not to say too much.

Well, I'll vouch for that. He was very careful with his words.

I'm Judy Mason, Mr. Maverick.

And this is my younger brother, Donald.

My pleasure.

You're a friend of my father's?

That's right.

And just how long have you known my father, Mr. Maverick?

- To be truthful with you... - How long, Mr. Maverick?

- We only met last night, but... - That's just what I thought.

You're another one of his new friends.

Now, look. I hate to break up this warm reception

but your father did invite me over.

And now I'm here.

I'd appreciate it deeply if you'd just tell me

where I could find him.

Well, he's out on 40 acres. Over there.

Thank you.

Well, guess he told us off.

He did not.

Well, I made him confess that he hardly knows dad, didn't I?

Yeah, Judy, you showed him alright.

Now, how about our ride? I got the horses ready.

Probably just like all the others, after dad's money.

I got the horses ready.

What's more important?

Takin' a silly old ride, or-or protecting our father?

Pa's gettin' riled at all this protection

we've been givin' him.

The Rocky Mount Detective Service doesn't make mistakes.

You wait and see, he'll thank us

when we prove she's only after his money.

Hello there, Mr. Mason.

Well, hello, you old husky.

It's good to see you again.

You wanna give me a hand with this stake here?

Alright.

Just hold it st.. Get a good hold of it down here.

- There you are. - Sure.

Mr. Mason, don't you think it'd be a good time

to take a breathin' spell?

You ain't much at buildin' fences, are ya?

I ran into your son and daughter out front.

Make you feel like a burglar?

Yeah.

Them kids.

No.

I keep warnin' them about that.

Well, it seems they got some wild notion

that they're gonna protect their poor old pa.

Yeah, well, there's no denying that.

Bart..

What's your opinion of the countess?

Well... she is a beautiful woman.

I'll make it plain, Bart.

The countess suits me just fine, but here's what I'm gettin' at.

It's my kids, they kind of feel she's just after my money.

That wouldn't bother me much even if it was true.

I got plenty of money.

But it's my kids.

See, I want her to be right for them, too.

Yeah.

Bart, like I asked, what's your personal opinion?

I, uh, can't honestly say, Jack.

My pappy used to tell me, uh..

Seems I can't recall anything my pappy did tell me

that'd be a fit answer to your question.

I guess I did kinda force you against the wall

with my personal problem.

Forget it, Bart.

Hey, how are you at sawin'?

Well, I don't mind if I don't.

Man likes to use his hands once in a while.

Well, I use mine, but usually on something a little slicker.

Yeah? Like cards?

Yes, I've whiled away an hour playin' poker now and then.

Ever play with a man who keeps right on winning..

Never loses?

You mean a card cheat?

Well, I hate sayin' he's a cheat.

But he sure don't lose.

I know this Captain Fitzgerald's a friend of yours

and I ain't one to begrudge him.

He beats the pants off me and my friends every time we play.

I'll bet he's into us for more than $10,000

since we started playin'.

Ten thousand?

It ain't just the money, it's the way he keeps on winnin'.

I've played with the captain. He plays a pretty good game.

But not that good.

Think you can beat him, Bart?

Brother Mason, that has just become my life's ambition.

I'll tell you what.

I'll throw a little dinner tonight.

With poker for the men afterwards.

I'll stake your losses. You can keep what you win.

I just want the satisfaction of seeing him lose for once.

My friend, you've just made yourself a deal.

No, I can't agree with you.

Cards, and particularly, poker, is not a game of luck.

No, not luck at all, but rather a game of skill

finesse, memory.

My apologies, captain, but I can't quite agree with you.

- Oh. - Oh, excuse me.

Of course.

Oh, excuse me, Jack.

Don't you think we should let the ladies get on

with their gossip, and we start playing some poker?

Excuse me, my dear.

Beg your apologies, men.

Let's move into the cardroom.

- Uh, Captain Fitzgerald. - Excuse me..

Judy, when Bart Maverick arrives, send him in there.

Now, you two gals do somethin' about getting better acquainted

while I'm gone.

Judy.

How shall we start getting acquainted?

Oh, I know. Your new dress, it is lovely.

Tell me, where did you get it?

Well, thank you, countess.

It didn't come from Paris.

It would be so much easier, ma cherie

if we could be friends.

Excuse me.

Someone's at the door.

Good evening, Judy.

My father's waiting for you in there, Mr. Maverick.

Thank you, Miss Mason.

And may I say you almost look like an angel tonight.

I'll call and raise you two.

Too rich for my blood.

And 100.

I'll just call you, Rory.

Full house.

Aces over nines.

I had two aces and two threes.

This game was too rich for anybody's blood.

Five aces, all told? In one game?

That beats me.

Cut, captain.

You've been playing like a master tonight, captain.

I just purely wanna congratulate you.

I call that real good... luck.

Cut?

Looks like my two pair beat your kings, captain.

Again.

You're leaving so early, captain?

I've already lost more than $4000 tonight, Maverick.

I would call that sufficient.

Sorry to see you go.

Goodnight.

Nice fellow, the captain.

But it certainly pains him to lose.

Might as well call it a night, boys.

Bart, hang around, would you? I'd like to talk to you.

Certainly.

I watched you tonight, Bart. You can handle cards.

You know how to play 'em. Man don't do nothing that good

unless it's his business to know how.

That's why I wanted to talk to ya.

Now, I'm building me a gamblin' house.

It's gonna be a big gambling house.

Yeah, the biggest and the fanciest west of Chicago.

Gonna take a bit of money to build something like this.

Yeah, the countess figures around 200,000.

Countess?

Well, sure, it's all her idea.

Smart woman, the countess.

You bet!

Bart, I want you to manage this place for us.

'Now, I'll make you a firm offer, Bart.'

Twenty percent ownership

and a free hand in runnin' the place.

Message for you, Mr. Maverick.

Countess De La Fontaine wanted to be sure

you received this as soon as you came in.

- Your key, sir. - Thank you.

First, I'd like to put this in the hotel safe.

Yes, sir.

- Goodnight. - 'Goodnight.'

You're going to be the loveliest dog in town.

Uh, come in.

- Good evening, Liz. - Good evening.

You wanted to see me?

Yes. Thanks for coming, Bart.

- Won't you sit down? - Thank you.

I, uh, I want to know why you stayed behind

to talk to Placer?

Now, we had a little talk about a bar.

- A bar? - Yes, a 40-foot bar.

Made out of highly polished mahogany..

And, well, stage and tables, and..

I really got to hand it to you, Liz.

You came up with a real great scheme.

Why call it a scheme?

It's a straight business deal and a darn good one.

Call it anything you like. You don't have to get mad.

Mad? I'm not mad.

Just that you make it sound like I'm out to swindle Placer Jack.

Oh, sure, he's investing a lot of money..

But he'll get it all back, every nickel.

I've been working card tables long enough to know

how to operate any gambling place.

Look, Bart.

I'll make a deal with you.

Don't say anything to Placer Jack and..

And I'll cut you in.

I'll give you 15% percent and a hand in the management.

Now, Mason already made me a better offer than that.

Full management and 20%.

Twenty! He's got no right.

Why, Liz? Why doesn't he have any right?

Because you've got the captain set for my spot.

Mr. Fitzgerald wouldn't be interested.

- He's a gentleman. - Oh, I see.

Well, Mason seems to have it figured that I'm not.

And he does need a full-time manager

as soon as you and he get married.

You could do a lot worse than that, Liz.

He's not a bad sort.

In fact, he's kinda a nice fellow when you get to know him.

I'm not interested in him. Not that way.

And those kids of his..

Especially the girl, Judy..

They hate me.

Why should I get myself stuck with them?

And with a hayseed like Mason.

'All I want from him is the money to build that casino.'

You won't get away with it, Bart.

My offer of 15% is plenty for keeping you quiet.

What bothers you the most, Liz?

My getting a 20%, or those two kids hating you?

Nothing bothers me, Bart.

Not the kids..

And not you.

So long as you don't get in my way.

- Your key, captain. - Thank you.

Good afternoon, Rory.

You've got your money. Go ahead and vanish, will you?

Uh-uh, I still have your IOU.

And you still owe me 4000.

You have the nature of a dishonest tax collector.

You got your money last night.

No, last night was one game.

Your IOU represents another game.

As soon as you pay up, we can call everything square.

- Hi. - Hi.

My sister, Judy..

She wants to talk to you.

She's waitin' across the street.

Miss Mason.

Mr. Maverick, I'm gonna come right to the point.

I demand that you stay away from our house

and away from my father.

- May I ask why? - You know why as well as I do.

You're only after his money.

Now, Judy, I'd call that a harsh accusation.

Cheating a poor old defenseless man.

You and that-that countess!

You just wait and see, I'm going to expose her.

Yeah!

Just wait till we get the report on our investigation

from the detective agency. We'll show her.

Be very careful when you do get that report.

Judy, remember, your father deserves some happiness.

Before you make any moves, give that a little more thought.

'And his feelings.'

Hyah.

They just drove off.

It would be simpler if friend Maverick were out of the way.

Don't get out of character, Fitz.

Violence isn't exactly your specialty.

Oh, I don't know.

I was pretty handy with a saber in the dragoons.

But I wouldn't dream of such a thing

with an old acquaintance like Maverick.

I'll just have to pay the scamp his money

and get rid of him.

Good evening, Bart.

Don't be alarmed, me lad, I've been waiting for you.

And I'm alone.

Bart, this is a complete and ignominious surrender

me Waterloo, you might say.

Well, that's fine, Napoleon.

Just hand it over.

The, uh, the IOU, please.

Of course.

It's all there, the entire 4000.

Now, well, I-I wouldn't want to be after detaining you.

You are leaving, I take it?

The thought just occurred to me.

Your word was always good enough for me, dear boy.

- Goodnight, Bart. - Goodnight, captain.

Alright, boys.

He's all yours, lads. Handle him as agreed.

You want somethin' to eat?

Uh... I-I'll just stretch my legs.

Hey, you sit there, mister. No tricks now.

Everything all clear, Harry?

There ain't a livin' soul within miles.

Has he been actin' up any, Silvan?

No trouble, Harry. Only he ain't eatin'.

Well, ain't you hungry, mister?

I, uh, lost my appetite, but thanks, Harry.

Well, if your belly gets to grumblin'

you be sure to let us know.

Ain't no reason to be nice to him.

Now, Silvan, you know how I hate

to see a man goin' hungry.

But it ain't like he was a guest or somethin'.

You gotta remember, Harry. We're holdin' him prisoner.

Well, I guess you're right.

Maybe I will have something, Harry.

Uh, some of that coffee maybe. It smells real good.

Don't get too close, Harry.

Doggone it, Silvan.

I gotta get close to give him the coffee.

Well, just you be careful.

Don't point that gun at me, it makes me nervous.

Don't you fret, I got it aimed directly at him.

Now, you just put it aside.

He ain't goin' no place, tied up the way he is.

Thanks for the coffee, Harry.

How long are you planning on holding me here, Silvan?

That ain't none of your concern, mister.

Just don't you stir up any ruckus, that's all.

I'm not planning to start any trouble.

Not right now.

I sure hope you boys are gettin' paid enough for this job.

And that ain't none of your business neither, mister.

Maybe not.

The law doesn't go for holdin' a man prisoner.

Especially when that man happens to be a..

United States marshal.

- You ain't no marshal. - Are ya? A real one?

We didn't find no badge.

It was stolen from me by the man that's paying you.

Stole it after he slugged me from behind.

Silvan, that captain fellow never said nothin'

about him bein' a marshal.

This one could be a-lyin', Harry.

Don't let him bamboozle ya.

You boys better listen to me.

I've been trailin' this captain fellow now for seven months.

He and two other men held up the Wells Fargo office

in St. Louis, and then killed the guard.

Now, right after the..

Just a minute, two other men.

Well, that's it.

You two were in that holdup with the captain.

Now, hold on.

We never laid eyes on that fellow until yesterday.

Armed robbery and murder. They'll hang you for that.

Uh, marshal, we ain't never been in St. Louis.

I arrest you both in the name of the United States government.

Untie me!

Now, we're-we're just a couple of poor... honest miners.

We did this for a few dollars to hold us over.

We never robbed anybody. We ain't killers.

We ran out of supplies, marshal.

- Marshal... - We needed the money.

You got to believe us.

Now you boys sure you're telling me the truth?

Marshal, so strike us dead.

Marshal, you've gotta believe us.

Well, you did untie me. Excuse me, Harry.

How far away from Virginia City?

No more than 15 miles.

Yeah. Alright.

Ah! Now, you boys are still under arrest, remember that.

I don't want you to set foot outside the shack.

Marshal, we won't even budge.

Marshal, we promise ya.

We ain't budged.

Why don't you relax, me dear?

Why allow yourself to become overwrought for no reason?

I tell ya, Maverick will not bother us again.

Oh, i-it's not Maverick, it's... it's me.

It's everything about this whole messy deal.

Oh, Liz.

You're behaving foolishly.

In a few days, we'll have the money to do...

'Bellhop, sir!'

Be the champagne I ordered.

A little celebration for just the two of us.

It'll help cheer you up, me dear.

Coming.

You and Fitzgerald, huh?

Yes, Bart.

We were partners.

Doesn't make any difference what you think of me now. It's..

It's all over anyway.

Here, give this to Placer Jack.

I-I wrote it last night.

Well, go ahead, read it.

It's all in there.

Who I really am.

Why I pretended to be a phony countess..

And how I planned to call off the marriage

after the casino was opened.

If that's true

Mason's going to be very unhappy when he hears about it.

You don't believe me, do you?

Here..

Give this to him with the letter.

Seems to me the letter's enough, Liz.

Why the ring, too?

You said it yourself once.

He's kind of nice once you get to know him.

Oh, I have some things to settle with him.

I guess they'll just have to wait till later.

'See you around, Liz.'

Well, it seems Maverick has my IOU once again.

I'm glad I deposited the money in the hotel safe.

'Splendid thinking.'

He hits hard, Liz.

But I've been hit harder.

Then you heard everything I told him.

Every sad little word, me dear.

And I'm dreadfully disappointed in you.

'Here I thought I had found the perfect partner.'

'A woman with no scruples, no ethics, no principles.'

And it turns out you're burdened with all of them.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in a fresh new start.

Uh, we could try our luck in New Orleans... together.

Too bad.

My best wishes, Liz.

And my best to Bart Maverick.

The greedy fellow.

"Miss Judy Mason, the information you requested

"on the Countess De La Fontaine is as follows

she is not a countess at all." I was right!

"She is a former dancehall girl and professional gambler

known as Liz Bancroft."

I was right, Donald!

It's all here in this report. The countess is a fake.

What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear what I said?

The countess is a fake.

Yeah, Judy, I heard you.

But I was thinking about what Mr. Maverick said.

About pa, I mean.

Judy, are you gonna show that report to him?

Well, we'll have to, won't we?

Judy.

Something wrong, Judy?

It's the report on the countess, Mr. Maverick.

Did you show that to your father?

Well, not yet.

Maybe I better show him this report first.

It's from the countess... herself.

She sent this back with it.

You mean she confessed?

But why?

When you get to be a little older

you may find that a woman in love does strange things.

Your father's gonna be very hurt when he reads this.

Well, I guess I better get it over with.

I don't get it, Judy.

After we went through all that trouble

she beats us to it.

Mr. Maverick said she was in love.

Poor daddy.

Blast that female!

She ain't gonna get away with this!

She's gonna learn that when Placer Jack Mason

thinks enough of a woman to give her a rock, he means business.

Countess or no countess, that female is gonna marry me!

Maverick, where is she?

She's gonna take this ring back, and me along with it.

Then we'd better hurry.

Yeah. Where's my hat?

Where's my hat!

As for you, young lady..

No more nonsense from you and your brother, you understand?

Where's your brother? He's gonna hear me, too.

I guess Donald knows you better than any of us, dad.

He went off to saddle your horse.

'You heard what Mr. Maverick said, dad. You better hurry.'

Hey, I got a swell pair of kids, ain't I, Bart?

Where's my hat!

Well, I think I'd best be on my way.

On your way?

Well, it looks as if you probably won't be building

the gambling casino, and I have some business

to settle with the good Captain Fitzgerald.

Liz, he didn't happen to mention where he's headin', did he?

- No. - Mm-hmm.

Well, knowing the good captain, I have a little hunch

on his whereabouts.

Bart, can't you stay for the wedding?

Mm-mm. As my old pappy used to tell me

"Son, stay clear of weddings, 'cause one of them's

liable to be your own"

- Placer, may I? - Yeah, sure.

Countess.

Bye.

We trapped him for you, marshal.

He came here to get his money back from us.

- Can ya imagine? - You boys did a good job.

Mm!

The U.S. government is mighty proud of you.

That ought to teach you, Fitzgerald.

No man can trifle with the law.

'He sure raised a fuss, marshal.'

Yep, he started to yell his fool head off.

So, uh, we just gagged him.

I think you better keep him that way, fellas.

Keep him, marshal?

I got word that his two accomplices

are holed up outside of Virginia City.

It's my sworn duty to go in after them.

Marshal, I'd be proud to join ya.

Silvan, Harry..

You two men have already done more than enough.

Well.. Oh, marshal, do you suppose it'd be alright

to take his gag off in case he gets hungry?

You know, supper time's coming up.

Well, that shows your thinking, Harry..

But just be careful not to get too close to him.

- There goes a man. - A man among men.

'Maverick!'
