'They're not in there.'

Whatever you're looking for.

Now, wait, Ellen, uh, uh..

You got this all wrong. All I came to do was..

Uh, return your smelling salts.

So you took them.

Well, yeah, I was feelin' a little shaky.

You can see I was gonna return 'em.

Thank you. I wanted them very badly.

Now that you've returned them, I'm not going to kill you.

Well, that's fine.

Pedro!

I'm going to let him shoot you.

A Warner Bros. television production.

It was a typically invigorating San Francisco night.

Someone once said that, if it was thick enough

you could lean on the San Francisco fog.

But obviously that wasn't true.

As for myself, I was having no trouble at all.

Please, Bert, someone will see us.

Well, let 'em.

You did it again, Ellen.

- Did what again? - You called me Bert.

Who's Bert?

There isn't any Bert, dear. I keep telling you.

I get tangled up in your name for some reason.

As long as you don't get tangled up with Bert.

Goodnight.

Ellen..

..why are ya ditchin' me so early?

I have a headache. I'd better go to bed.

At 10 o'clock?

And so should you. It'd do you good.

Promise me you will.

I promise you

if you'll promise me never-never to call me Bert again.

Is that the green-eyed monster talking, dear?

Well, of course I'm jealous. Well, who wouldn't be

if his girl kept calling him by somebody else's name?

I promise not to.

Ellen.

- When will I see you tomorrow? - Pick me up for lunch.

You'll be here, I hope?

Now, how often have I missed an appointment with you?

There was three times last week alone.

Where do you go when you stand me up like that? Out with Bert?

Who's Bert?

I suppose it's me

'if you ever learn to speak the English language.'

Tomorrow at lunch, and don't forget.

- Oh, my earrings. - Oh, yeah.

Walking off with the most valuable thing I own?

Why do you load me up with all your possessions when we go out?

'Why don't you women learn to hold onto your belongings?'

Because we don't have pockets like you gentlemen do.

Well, these are awfully heavy.

- Why wear them? - 'Cause they're an heirloom.

My great-grandfather brought them from India.

Goodnight.

Careful in the fog, it's rather heavy tonight.

Oh, don't worry. I've had experience in these mists.

It's not the first time I've had to grope my way home.

Hey, Bret!

Well, hello, Sim. How're you doin'?

Not so well, laddie, not so well.

The cards had no use for me tonight.

- Are ya cleaned out? - Ay, bankrupt.

Thank you, lad.

I've gotta go back workin' on the big pond again

till I get another stake.

- Oh, that's-that's too bad. - Ay.

What do you say let's go and have a bite to eat, huh?

Right over there, Sim.

Yes. We missed you in the game tonight, Bret.

Well, I promised Ellen I wouldn't gamble, so, uh..

Decided I had to go to bed early.

You call this early?

I got hungry, couldn't sleep.

If Ellen says for you not to gamble, what was she doin' here?

Who?

Ellen, your gal, playing roulette in the back room.

You're out of your head.

Oh, the man she was with wore a handlebar mustache

and had these glasses with black ribbon hangin' down from 'em.

A man with a mustache?

Glasses?

'Course maybe he was her father.

Or Bert.

Who's Bert?

He's the mispronunciation of my name, with a handlebar mustache.

Miss Ellen Johnson, please.

Miss Johnson.. Miss..

Oh, Miss Ellen Johnson has left the hotel.

You mean she's out? I had an engagement for lunch with her.

No, she left the hotel this morning.

- She's checked out? - 'Yes, sir.'

Well, did she leave a forwarding address?

Well, no one even saw her go.

Uh, I wonder if I could see her room?

I'm-I'm sorry, sir, but that's already occupied by a gentleman.

A tall man with a handlebar mustache

and-and glasses with a black ribbon hanging down?

No, he's a short man

clean-shaven, doesn't wear glasses.

That wasn't even close, was it?

Why, hello, Bert. What are you doin' here?

I beg your pardon, sir?

I think the last time I saw you was in Dallas, wasn't it, Bert?

You're mistaken, sir.

I have never been to Dallas, and my name is not Bert.

It isn't?

Well, I'll be darned.

The resemblance is amazing. You could be his twin.

I doubt it, sir.

Henry!

That's my twin.

And he's never been in Dallas either?

I couldn't figure it out.

She'd always baffled me a little.

Making appointments and then forgetting about them

and never talking about her past.

I didn't even know where she'd come from.

And now, all of a sudden, she's gone.

A mysterious girl, a mysterious disappearance.

Extra! Mysterious disappearance, read all about it!

Extra! Mysterious disappearance...

Hey, who disappeared?

It'll cost you big money to find that out. One cent.

Here, where is it? What's her name?

Trusted employee of leading jewelry firm

vanishes with a quarter million bucks in diamonds.

Where? Who?

Important executive ducks out with goose egg he never laid!

- Extra! - What's the thief's name?

If you're not getting your money's worth

let's call the whole thing off.

Read all about big, bad burglary!

Read all about big, bad, bloody burglary!

'Read all about it!'

'"Adelbert Charles Sawyer'

'"second vice-president of the famous jewelry firm'

"and a trusted employee for the last 25 years

"is mysteriously missing.

And with him has disappeared a fortune in diamonds."

Last person in the world to be trusted is a trusted employee.

"The jewels belong to a Mrs. Brockhurst.

"Used to be part of her diamond stomacher

and she wanted them reset into a tiara."

A handful of unset diamonds.

This man's married, with two children.

The worst kind. They get restless.

I aim to see how Ellen fits into that picture.

How come?

Well, she disappears, he disappears at the same time.

She's been muttering about a man named Bert

and Bert is short for Adelbert.

That ties 'em up neatly.

Could be. Well, I just dropped in to say goodbye.

I've got me a good trip this time.

I'll be gone for about three months.

And I'll be back with the big boodle.

Meet ya at the El Dorado.

She charms him, she works on him.

She gets him to steal the jewels.

Then they leave the country together.

By now they're probably in Canada, or Mexico, or Europe.

But I'm gonna catch 'em

and turn 'em over to the authorities.

I thought you were in love with the gal.

Well, I am.

Ooh, well, I was.

There's a reward of $25,000 for recovering the jewels.

Where you gonna look first? Canada, Mexico, or Europe?

I'll be seeing ya.

With Ellen gone, I had no particular reason

for staying on in San Francisco.

The game at the El Dorado was starting to bore me.

But the city still fascinated me.

That beguiling climate..

Like the gentle dew which constantly fell on the city..

Clearing the air, refreshing the flowers..

And only occasionally drowning the inhabitants.

Or those spring zephyrs that came out of the Pacific

through the Golden Gate, practically slamming it shut.

Finally, I decided to tear myself away.

Come in.

Well, Sim! How are ya?

Fine, fine. I looked for you at the Eldorado.

You weren't there, and I was afraid you'd left town.

Well, I was just about to. When'd you get back?

Oh, less than an hour ago. I've got news for you, boy.

- I've seen her. - Her who?

Your gal, uh, Ellen Johnson.

- With him? - Him who?

Uh, Bert, the jewel thief. The one with the handlebar mustache.

Nope, alone. And she cut me dead.

'I saw her in this cafe, and I went over to say hello'

and she-she looked at me blank-like

and tossed a lot of Spanish at me.

You're positive it was Ellen?

'Well, if it wasn't, it was a perfect dead ringer for her.'

We were laid up in San Jose for repairs

and I moseyed over to Guatemala City

to have meself a little fun. 'Twas there I saw her.

- Guatemala City? - Ay.

That's in Central America.

And just in case you're interested

I brought this for ya.

There, Guatemala City

It took three weeks and four bouts of seasickness

but finally I arrived off the coast of Guatemala.

But that wasn't the end of my trip.

I still had 60 miles to travel on a train

which took a full two days to make it.

Finally... Guatemala City.

This was the land of hibiscus

hot sun, and occasional earthquakes.

I was there to earn $25,000. Or was I trying to find Ellen

because I was still in love with her?

When it's a question of love or money

I sometimes get confused.

Oh, where, uh..

Where's the best, uh... palacio? Hotel?

Oh, si, si.

It's a fleabag.

They get a rake-off for recommending it.

I'm going to the Augusto, which is the best they have here.

Wait till I pick up my luggage, we'll share the carriage.

That's very kind of you, sir.

Equipaje.

Out of my way.

The Augusto.

I have a 2 o'clock appointment. I hope we won't be late.

My watch!

Why, I've been robbed! I-I had it a few minutes ago.

That little girl!

Oh, my, such an old trick!

Confound it! That was a good watch.

El Augusto, rapido.

No, no, it's my treat to a fellow American.

- Well, thank you. - Muchos gracias.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Thank you.

Psst! Psst!

Senor.

You want to buy a watch?

I think this belongs to the man who was just with me.

No, no! It was my father's and my grandfather's before him.

It's been in the family for many years.

It has, huh? Then why're you trying to sell it?

I don't know how to tell the time.

Well, you're gonna be doing time unless you...

I took one of your bags by mistake.

Hey!

- Pardon, that's my watch. - I thought it might be.

And that's the little thief who bumped into me

and-and lifted it.

No, you don't, you little imp! I'll get you locked up for this.

Policia! Policia!

No, no! I am not a thief!

I'm afraid you have it wrong, sir.

She didn't steal the watch, she was bringing it back.

It was one of the other ones. He is the thief!

'Anything he see, he steal.'

Every time he steal, I bring it back.

Alright, let it lay.

She was looking for you when you came out of the hotel.

Well, that puts a different face on things.

Well, I'm sorry, little girl, but under the circumstances

I'm sure you understand how I made a mistake.

I forgive you... this time.

I can see that you know that honesty is the best policy.

Oh, sure.

'In fact, in this instance'

that policy is worth 100 pesos.

'Let's not carry this thing too far.'

Nonsense, it's what the little girl deserves.

'As a matter of fact, she deserves even more.'

Here. Thank you, miss.

- Well, good luck. - Gracias.

Look, the only reason I got you outta this

is 'cause I don't like to see kids sent to jail.

But the man's right, you know, honesty is the best policy.

Of course. With this policy, I am rich.

I hope you're ashamed of yourself.

I feel terrible.

But to you, senor, I am very thankful.

You are my good friend. I love you very much.

I will never forget you..

And I hope you will never forget me.

Gracias!

Johnson, Ellen Johnson, no, I haven't heard of her.

She was seen in this city by a friend of mine three months ago

and I think she arrived here shortly before that.

Your description of her would fit half the women of the city.

- Well, she's an American. - 'I'm afraid that won't help.'

'They only come to us when they're in trouble.'

No, the only two arrivals that we've had in the past few months

have been a Senora Hemonaise

and her husband and eight children.

No.

'And a Senora Delgado, who is formerly an American'

came here from Buenos Aires, where her husband had died.

That's not likely her either.

Only thing I can suggest is that you look for her yourself.

'Now, we're a fairly large city, and it'll be a bit like'

'searching for a needle in a haystack.'

That's about all I can tell you to do.

Yeah. Well, I guess I'll just keep looking.

Yes, well, uh, ahem, you might try the theaters

and the restaurants, and perhaps the shops.

Uh, did you say she was fairly well-to-do?

Well, she is now.

Yes, well, uh, try the better shops then.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to be of more help to you.

If I think of anything, I'll get in touch.

Well, thank you very much, sir.

- Hey, what are you doin' here? - Where have you been?

What's that gotta do with you? What're you doing here?

I wait for you, I wait for you, then because you don't come

and I am tired, I fall asleep.

- How did you get in here? - Balcon.

Outside is tree, I climb.

Senor, I am sorry I steal your watch.

Well, you oughta be.

After I take it, I think, "This is a caballero

"He is my friend," senor, "when I need one.

'This is a very bad thing you have done, Angelita."'

I talk to myself, you see.

I am the Angelita who I talk to.

That means little angel, doesn't it?

Of course.

Anyway, my conciencia tell me I should not do this thing.

I find out where you stay, and I come here to bring the watch.

Oh, fine.

- It's a pawn ticket. - Si.

My conciencia do not start to bother me

until after I pawn it.

- For ten pesos? - Not enough?

It's worth ten times that.

I was robbed!

Well, that's that. I guess you can go now.

Hey, where do you live?

Here, there, someplace. No place.

Where are your parents?

- 'Madre, padre?' - I am huerfano.

'Nino de las piedras.'

Child of the stones.

The sisters of El Convento de Nuestra Senora

del Perpetuo Socorro

find me on the steps when I am two days old.

- But I run away. - The same day, I'll bet.

- 'How old are you?' - Twenty-four.

More like 15, I'd say.

Well, you can go now.

You send me away, senor?

I can't see much reason for you hangin' around.

Hungry as I am?

Hungry? You got 200 pesos just a few hours ago

you got ten pesos from a watch.

'What'd you do with all that money?

I am not without... obligation.

There is a good restaurant just outside. Cheap.

- We go, eh? - We go, eh.

Oh, you buy a new one!

You quit lookin' at it like that. You make me nervous.

With two watches, senor, you will always know the time.

Night and day.

Mesero!

I told him to put everything on the same bill. Okay?

That was very nice of you.

You must get around quite a bit.

Did you ever meet a Miss Ellen Johnson?

- She is your sweetheart? - She was.

'You-you lose her?'

She leave you for another?

This wicked woman. She break her engagement to you?

You get your ring back?

Well, we weren't quite engaged. There was no ring.

'But I do have a good reason for wanting her back.'

I'm sure she's here in the city.

If you should run into her..

Now, that's about one chance in a million.

You just forget it. Is there anything else you want?

I think I will have all this food again

only this time I will tell the waiter..

Mesero!

Por favor, mesero.

I tell him to wrap it up, and I'll take it with me for later.

- Gracias. - Thank you.

Well, Angelita, hope you're taken care of now.

This will take care of everything. Gracias.

Angelita.

- Where are you goin'? - No place.

Where are you gonna sleep tonight?

Oh, I find a place. I think.

Or maybe you let me sleep again...

No, no, of course not. That's out of the question.

Where would I sleep? That's ridiculous.

Goodnight, Angelita.

Psst, psst!

Shh!

Buenas noches, senor.

Uh, goodnight, Angelita.

Good morning, Mr. Maverick.

- You got some news for me? - Well, uh, not exactly.

I got a message at the hotel you wanted to see me.

- Well, that's true. - Well, what's it all about?

Mr. Maverick, have you had any success with your mission?

Found any trace of the young girl?

- No, not a sign of her. - Oh, dear, that's too bad.

I-I've made some inquiries, too.

Not that I expected very much from them.

And I wasn't disappointed.

I'm sorry to say that..

We've been unable to come up with a thing.

I'm sure you wanted to talk to me about something.

Ahem, yes, of course.

The Guatemala prefect, the chief of police, that is

is an old friend.

And rather than to make a big investigation

he wrote and asked me if I would, sort of

ask you direct about the whole thing.

I'm sorry, Mr. Carter

but somewhere along the line I must have missed something.

It's so hard to come to the point.

He wants me to ask you

if you're organizing some sort of a gang in Guatemala City.

Organizing a what?

Well, he believes that you held a meeting recently

in your hotel room at midnight.

Angelita.

How's that?

Well, there's a little girl, you see, and I bought dinner..

She's the one who stole my.. I mean, returned my watch.

Well, I seemed to be the one who's missed something.

Well, it's really very simple.

You see, I brought some food for this kid..

Well, I didn't know she was gonna bring all her friends

up the hotel room and pass it out.

Well, then, that was the meeting?

Just some ordinary harmless children?

Well, I wouldn't say harmless.

Oh, this does you credit, Mr. Maverick.

One of our nationals feeding the hungry waifs

of a sister country.

Oh, this will look well in my report.

What report?

Well, Washington will hear of this, Mr. Maverick.

Washington, huh?

Pardon me, lady.

Awfully sorry. I thought you were somebody else.

I couldn't find Ellen. There was no trace of her anywhere

and I finally had to give up.

I concluded that Sam must have been wrong.

A woman either dressed was someone who looked like Ellen

but wasn't.

Besides my money was running low

so I decided to go home.

And the toughest part of this whole business was

saying goodbye to Angelita.

You will come back?

Oh, I might.

You will not come back.

When something nice happen to me

then it done happen very quick.

But that's alright.

I will forget you... sometime.

I have for you a few going away presentes.

All for you. From me and my amigos.

This scarf for your neck, from Juanito.

These panuelos for your nose, Lalo send you these.

For your tie, Lupita send it with love.

For your dinero, from me.

Where did you get this stuff?

Oh, some we find, some we buy.

And all you steal.

For you, senor.

Angelita.

I know how you feel about me.

And I feel the same way about you.

But stealing is bad.

'I'm gonna take all this stuff down to the police station'

'and tell them that I found it.'

And don't you ever steal again.

And tell the others not to either.

Then, how will we live?

Well, I've got some money left, I'll leave you some.

You have anything else that you bought or found today?

- No. - You sure?

I have nothing.

Anyway, you do not wear earrings.

Well, I'll set a new style.

Give 'em here.

- Where'd you get these? - I do not remember.

You have to remember, it's very important.

Now, you make me afraid. You're angry with me.

I'll be happy if you tell me where you got them.

They belong to the lady I'm lookin' for.

They were on an hacienda on the Avenida De Loro.

The window was open. Somebody had put them on the table

as if they did not want them, so I take.

You take me to that hacienda, I'll get you anything you want.

Come. I show you.

Here lives the woman you have been looking for.

The one who give you the calabasas.

- The pumpkin. - Gave me the what?

In our language, it means to cheat somebody.

Ah, no pumpkins. Not even much jilting.

She just dusted me off.

Don't ask me what that means. You just run along.

I'll meet you later.

Bret!

How wonderful!

Well, what are you doing here?

Well, I was just in the neighborhood

I thought I'd drop in.

Come in.

Well, you speak very good Spanish.

Why shouldn't I? I was married to a Guatemalan for five years.

Won't you come in?

You never told me you were married.

I was falling in love with you. I didn't know how you'd take it.

You were falling in love with me, so you ran out on me?

I promised Carlos on his deathbed

I would never marry again.

- Carlos? - My husband.

I'm Senora Carlos Delgado.

Well, the American consul told me that you'd come to town but..

Well, I didn't know it was you.

They also told me that your husband

was buried in Buenos Aires.

He died there. He was never buried.

Cremated.

That's what he wanted.

Shouldn't you put him in a crypt or something?

He always loved this room.

He was a wonderful man.

An absolute jewel.

Why are you here, Bret?

You weren't just in the neighborhood.

You hunted me up, didn't you?

- Yes, I did. - Am I that precious to you?

You're worth exactly $25,000 to me.

What a curiously arbitrary sum.

That's what Van Der Meer's is offering

for the return of the jewels.

Oh, what jewels?

The ones you and Bert..

Mr. Adelbert Sawyer ran away with.

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

I don't know any Mr. Sawyer.

I don't have any valuable jewels.

You don't, huh?

What are these?

Of course, you did have these in San Francisco.

Where did you get them?

I got them from a very sticky-fingered little angel

I know.

Are you accusing me of being an accomplice to a jewel robbery?

Well, you left San Francisco the same time Sawyer did.

You kept calling me Bert which is short for Adelbert.

- It's a simple deduction. - It's simple nonsense!

- Where is this Mr. Sawyer? - Well, I don't know.

- Where are the jewels? - I have my suspicions.

You mean, in this house?

In my safe, perhaps. It'll be a natural place to keep them.

Stock certificates my husband left me.

These jewels will be spurned by Van Der Meer's.

Their only value is sentimental!

Are you satisfied now?

Well, I'm satisfied they're not in the safe.

Oh, maybe you'd like to search the house. Or me.

I'll empty my purse for you, if you like.

My hairbrush and comb.

My hand mirror, two handkerchiefs

I have a slight cold, and my smelling salts.

Do you find this evidence incriminating?

Is this the equipment a jewel thief carries?

Will you call the police now?

Ellen, there's no point in losing your temper.

Earthquake.

Earthquake!

Eh, I don't think it was an earthquake.

Must have been the wind blowing and rattled the windows.

Oh, we have them quite often here.

They frighten me.

I think you better go now.

Ellen... I've had nothing to do with any jewel robbery.

And I resent your insinuation that I have.

You've turned out to be a very bad friend.

I never want to see you again.

Can't we talk this over reasonably?

You ever come here again, I'll have my butler shoot you.

Now, go at once.

You sure get upset over trifles.

Like being called a jewel thief, you call that a trifle?

Goodbye, Bert.

She called me Bert.

She almost had me convinced that I was wrong.

Then she made that fatal slip.

She wasn't a jewel thief, huh?

Well, she was.

And what's more, I knew exactly where the diamonds were.

This caballero say he have business with you.

How do you do, Mr. Maverick?

Where are the Van Der Meer diamonds?

What diamonds?

Who are you?

"Sam Bishop. Investigator for Deladee Insurance Company."

I don't need any insurance, Mr. Bishop.

You may if you continue your friendship with Miss Johnson.

Who's Miss Johnson?

Come, come, Mr. Maverick. You know very well who she is.

Your friendship developed into something

a little more than that in San Francisco.

'Are you taking up now where you left off there?'

What are you talkin' about?

He's talking about the dama who give you the pumpkin.

The one who you go to see today.

Just who is this little girl, may I ask?

- He is my tio. - Your uncle? How nice.

And just where did your uncle go to visit this pumpkin lady?

Well, he went to the... Don't pay any attention to her.

She doesn't know what she is talkin' about.

She's, uh..

Ever since she's been a baby.

Get you, poor child.

Why don't you go out and take a walk?

If I'm so loco, then I better stay here

where you can look after me.

- Atchoo. - Where did you get that?

I find him.

It looks like the bottle of smelling salts Mr. Sawyer

gave Miss Johnson in San Francisco a few months ago.

Mr. Maverick, are you determined to abet a crime?

What crime?

'Theft of a quarter of million dollars in jewels'

from the Van Der Meer's. That's what I'm here to find.

We know Miss Johnson and Mr. Sawyer left San Francisco

together and went to San Diego.

They stayed at the Freemont House.

'Miss Johnson vanished.'

'Mr. Sawyer was taken to the hospital..'

where he died of poisoning.

So, in addition to being a thief, she's a murderess.

Now, Mr. Maverick, will you help me?

Uh, who gets the reward?

Uh, yes. The reward.

We'll split that, Mr. Maverick.

Now, where are they?

I imagine they are in the urn. They weren't in the safe.

- How much is this reward? - $25,000.

Twenty-five..

I am a big liar. There is no pumpkin lady.

And anyway, he did not go to visit her today.

She was never here.

She leave town.

Senor, you don't know anything.

You heard her. I don't know anything.

Mr. Maverick, what makes you think the diamonds

are in the urn?

- What urn? - The one you just mentioned.

Oh, you must've misunderstood me.

Now, I was probably quoting my old pappy.

He always said, "Uh, a penny earned..

Isn't worth much anymore."

I'll give you until tomorrow to think it over.

If you don't join us, I'll turn you in

and charge you for being an accessory to theft and murder.

In the meantime, I'm going to keep my eye on you.

Good day, Mr. Maverick.

You oughta be ashamed of yourself, Angelita.

You promised me you wouldn't steal anymore.

I do not like this woman.

You are in love with her?

Uh, not anymore.

You like her more than you like me?

No, I don't.

And anyway, it's not the same thing.

You tell me that if I take you to her hacienda

you will give me anything I want.

If I get the reward.

What do you want anyway?

For you to take me with you when you go.

Well, what about your family, the kids you've been mothering?

They're not my familia.

They're just amigos I meet here.

'They're huerfanos like me.'

But I have to take care of myself now, senor.

I couldn't take you with me. What would I do with you?

I wouldn't be much trouble.

I'm never in the same place

I couldn't take you with me while I'm traveling around.

Look, Angelita, I've got to get over to the hacienda

before Mr. Bishop finds out where she lives.

Now, c'mon, we'll talk about it later.

What you're askin' for is impossible.

Just wouldn't work out.

Now, c'mon.

I made need your help to... shake up Guatemala City.

I'll see if they're in the urn.

If they aren't, I'll give you this signal.

You shake these doors and make 'em sound like an earthquake.

If she thinks it's an earthquake

she'll run right where the jewels are. Do you understand?

- Si. - Okay.

'They're not in there..'

whatever you're looking for.

Those jewels you were talking about, I suppose.

I'm tired of your accusations, Bret Maverick.

I resent being called a thief.

'You're a thief, not I.'

I'll tell the police I found you trying

to burglarize my house.

'That you threatened me.'

- And I had to shoot you. - You had to what?

Kill you, in self-defense.

Now, wait, Ellen, y-you got this all wrong.

All I came to do was... return your smelling salts.

- So you took them. - I was feeling a little shaky.

Well, you can see, I was gonna return 'em.

Thank you. I wanted them very badly.

Now that you've returned them, I'm not goin' to kill you.

Well, that's fine.

Pedro.

I'm going to let him shoot you.

Bert!

There you go, calling me Bert again.

She wasn't talking to you, Maverick.

Bishop.

They pumped the arsenic out of me.

No thanks to you. Where are they?

Why, now, Bishop.

Bert! You're Adelbert Sawyer!

Stay out of this. I'll take care of you later.

- I can't let you hit her. - She tried to poison...

She's a woman. They get upset.

Where are they?

Bert.

Put down that urn.

Ellen, let's talk this over reasonably.

Put it down or I'll kill you.

Ellen, you just can't go around shooting and poisoning people.

Not now, Angelita. Cut it out.

I'm doing nothing.

'The diamonds.'

There you are, sir.

Three thousand advance on the insurance reward.

Here are the papers for the little girl

enabling her to travel with you.

Thank you, Mr. Carter.

What about Ellen Johnson?

Oh, she'll be made to pay for her actions.

Well, you mean hanging?

Oh, no, nothing that drastic. The authorities are holding her.

For murder or shooting Sawyer?

Oh, no, no. Sawyer's recovering. Refuses to press charges.

Besides, the police consider him an intruder in her home.

Oh, for jewel robbery, then.

No, no, she's not wanted for that here.

But she is in San Francisco.

Oh, but, my, my dear fellow

she can't be extradited to the United States

under our existing treaties.

And I understand that Van Der Meer's

is inclined to regard Sawyer as the actual thief.

Well, if not for murder and not for robbery

Mr. Carter, what are they holding her for?

Well, until they make up their minds

the charge is disturbing the peace.

She disturbed it, alright.

Well, then, calm seas and a happy voyage, Mr. Maverick.

Thank you, Mr. Carter. Thanks for everything.

You like my dress?

Uh, it's pretty, very pretty.

Do you think I will like this country where you live?

Well, it's a good country. It's not built up like this.

It's mostly desert. You'll like it, I guess.

You will adopt me as your sobrina?

Is that niece?

I'll apply to the authorities.

What will I be doing while you are playing cards?

- You'll be playing. - With who?

- Kids. - What kind of kids?

Like me amigos?

Well, I guess kids are the same everywhere.

You sure you want to come with me, Angelita?

Well, I ask you to take me with you and you say you will.

So I guess I'm sure.

Ho.

Is California this, this desert you talk about?

Mmm. Well, it's, it's very nice.

Angelita, Angelita, Angelita.

This is my family.

I cannot go with you, senor.

- Oh? - I cannot leave them.

If I go, they will be lost.

They will not eat. They will not know where to go.

Won't they even steal?

They're just learning.

Senor, will you be sad if I do not go with you?

I think I will be sad.

Too sad?

Well, if you're happy here, I'll try not to be too sad.
