MAN: Hyah! Hyah!

Tales of Wells Fargo.

JIM: The long arm
of Wells Fargo reached

across the sea to China.

San Francisco's harbor
was filled

with the great clipper
ships plying

the trade route between
America and the Orient.

And wherever there was trade,

there was Wells Fargo
to guard it.

One of those ships
down there in the harbor

was skippered
by Captain George Turnbull.

He was just in from Hong Kong,

and it was
the skipper's last voyage.

Ready Jim?

Yeah.

You look like you're
loaded for bear.

What's the skipper
carrying, diamonds?

Nope, but it's close.
It's jade.

$20,000 worth.

Consignment for
Fletcher, the jeweler.

The old man's going out
with a splash, isn't he?

That's right. It's Captain
Turnbull's last trip, isn't it?

He's retiring.
And bought himself a farm

down near San Jose,
gonna raise turkeys.

At least, that's what he
told me four months ago.

I didn't know an old salt
could turn himself

away from the sea.

This one can.

He's been promising
his wife he'd retire.

He'd cut his arm off before
he'd break a promise to Martha.

Real fond of him, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

I guess next to my own family,

he's done more for me
than any man alive.

Been like a second father to me.

You take good care of him too.

What could happen
in broad daylight?

Besides, nobody
knows about the jade.

Maybe not.

These Sidney Ducks
are getting out of hand.

Not even that bunch
of cutthroats have got

the stomach to
face this shotgun.

I hope you're right.

And as old as he is,
the old captain he can

still pound in a spike
with his bare hands.

He's quite the man.

Turn toward that forward
hatch there, mister!

I want that cargo out
of the hold by eight bells.

Aye, aye, sir.

Jim, you young swab.

Oh, let's have
a look at you boy.

You look just the same,
just the same.

But what kept you?
I've been in for two hours.

Speak up son, speak up.
Well, let me count my ribs.

I don't know how your
arms get so strong

when it's your voice
that does all the work.

Happy to see you Jack.
What's that for?

Oh, we're not taking
any chances with the jade.

Oh, what's the matter with those
fellows down at that office?

I never lost a cargo in my life.

Ah, the Sidney Ducks
have been running rampant.

Sidney Ducks indeed.

A bunch of gutless jellyfish

that snatch old ladies' purses.

Oh, they've changed since
you've been gone, Skipper.

They got an organization.
Even the jellyfish

have got kind of a bite to 'em.

Oh, well, whatever
you say, Jim boy.

Whatever you say.

Let's not waste
talk on such swabs.

Here, have an apple.

Bought 'em dockside,
first thing.

Oh, the same little old
lady's been selling them

to sailors for years.

That's one thing
you miss on a ship.

Apples.
Yeah.

I hear they grow 'em
down around San Jose.

You know,
Martha would skin me alive

if you didn't take
Thanksgiving dinner with us.

How about it?
I already planned on it.

If you hadn't asked me,
I was just gonna

show up there anyway.
Good, good.

Say, we better
get that jade over

to Fletcher's Jewelry Store.

Yeah, and I got to get
back to the office.

Tell you what, meet me at
the Belle Union at 5:00.

I'll buy you a drink.
Indeed you will, Jim boy.

And don't be late because
I've got a monumental thirst.

Gonna be a big doings
in San Francisco tonight.

Jack, if you're not
doing anything, join us.

I might be there.

Good day and good luck.

I can't afford to trust
nervous men, Vance.

I did my part when I told
you about the shipment.

All I want is what's
coming to me.

Oh, we haven't got the jade yet.

You'll get what's coming to you.

Queen Bee.

Nectar, that's what
it is, pure nectar.

Do you know how long
it's been since I had

a cold glass of beer, Jack?

Hong Kong it was, and I
remember it still.

Oh, you old sea dog.
All right, just one.

Oh, you're an
understanding man, Jack.

Besides, you're armed
like a frigate.

Nobody's gonna
bother us. Come on.

Two beers, bartender.

Coming right up, Captain.

All right.

I gotta get back to the store.

Vance,

Wells Fargo is apt
to be asking questions

at the jewelry store.

Just be sure you give
them the right answers.

I don't have to remind you

how the Sidney Ducks
treat informants.

Take the back door.

I thought I told you
to stick with them.

I did.

They're right outside.

You mean they came
right in here?

Like a couple of homing pigeons.

Take care of 'em, Chris.

But Trent...
Do as I say.

Well, let's have one more drink

and we'll be on our way, Jack.

All right, Captain
but let's make it fast.

How about buying
a girl a drink, huh?

Go along gal. We're only
interested in the beer.

Well, that makes three of us.

GEORGE: All right.
Bartender, make it three.

There can't be too
much harm in a gal

that's got a taste
for honest beer.

Oh, look what you've done,
beer all over my dress.

Don't worry about it, girlie,
it'll wash out.

Excuse me, I have to change.

Satisfied?

Twitch.

It'll only take a couple
of seconds to work.

You know what to do.

All right. You two.

Outside.

No you don't!

I know it was his knife.

There's no doubt about it.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Jack Marrow's dead and his blood

was all over that knife.

Mr. Stallings, you know
the skipper as well as I do.

He's been with Wells Fargo
almost as long as you have.

We've had other men
go sour on us, Jim.

Not many, but it happens.

He invited me to have
Thanksgiving dinner with him.

He said Martha would
cook up her best bird.

I don't know what he's
got to be thankful about.

It's like he's a bird
that had his pinfeathers

pulled right down to his hide.

Hang it all, Jim, I feel
as bad about this as you do.

But you know the
laws of evidence.

Yes, and I know something

about the laws
of human nature, too.

That old man might
crack somebody's skull

in a stand-up fight,

but he wouldn't steal
and he wouldn't kill.

The facts point to him.
Yeah, what kind of facts?

Does a man kill another
with his own knife

and then lie down next to him?

The obvious is sometimes clever.

Yes, and it's sometimes too pat.

Jim, I know Turnbull was
an old friend of yours.

He's an old friend of yours
too and don't forget it.

Very true, but Wells Fargo

stands to lose a $20,0000 bond

if that jade isn't recovered.

Do you want me
to assign another man?

You do and I'll
quit the company.

I'll find the jade.

When I do, I'll find the man
that killed Jack Marrow.

Even if it's the skipper?

Are you sure the name of the
place was the Queen Bee?

Of course, I'm sure.

And all you had was two beers?

We were just starting
on the second one

when the roof fell in.

Oh, look here, Jim,
you know me better

and to think I'd get tanked up

on a couple of beers.

What are you getting at?

The city detective's office

checked at the Queen Bee.

Nobody there ever remembers
seeing you or Jack Marrow.

Well, then they're lying.

I know, but we've
got to prove it.

Well, there ain't much
I can do from in here.

I'm sorry, Skipper.

Well, there's one thing
I haven't told anybody,

it's... oh, probably just
some foolishness I dreamed.

Anything you can remember
would be a big help.

Well, I sort of remember a fella

with a reddish beard
but it... as I say,

it must have been
something I dreamed.

Just one of these
faceless people

in a... in a bad dream.

All right. Time's up.

Yeah, some sound sort
of pathetic, don't he?

You just keep remembering
the story you told me

about the seagull.

If there's one thing
that gull had on me,

nobody had clipped his wings.

JIM: The Barbary Coast
is a big brawling street

where anything can happen.

The Sidney Ducks just
about ran it their own way.

San Francisco's police force

was undermanned and underpaid.

The Ducks went in
for everything from Shanghaiing

a sailor for $50
to pirating a cargo of silk

just in from China.

This was their breeding ground,

the Barbary Coast.

If you want a rat
to come out of a hole,

you've got to have
the right kind of bait.

I figured to offer it to them.

A sailor on-leave raring to go

and the money to back it up.

What it'll be sailor, beer?
Beer.

Boy, you got the wrong ideas.

Just beginning my leave.
Make it champagne.

Champagne's $10 a split, mate.

Hey, when I wanna
know the price,

it's up to my last port.

I'll have the champagne.

Hey, don't bother to open it.

I like to make the corks pop.

You better get some more on ice.

I got me a real
champagne appetite.

For the first time,
this job has a pleasant side.

Yeah.

But remember what
you want is his money.

And from now on,
you're drinking tea.

Mind if I join you, mate?

Hah! Why not?

My pleasure ma'am,
what are you drinking?

The usual, Mac. Bring it
over to the table, huh?

Never mind, I'll carry my own.

Give me the glass.

There's no extra charge
for the service.

Mac could have brought
it over to the table.

No offense to you miss...

Christine.
Christine.

Barbary Coast
bartenders are notorious

for doctoring up drinks.

And I can't keep on saying,

"Hey you, what's your name?"

Jim, and I like to pick

my own vessels when I ship out.

Tea.

Anything I can't stand,

it's tea.

Have some champagne.

Mr. Cocker ain't
gonna like this.

There are times when
I don't like Mr. Cocker.

This is one of those times.

What are we drinking to?

Thanksgiving.

That's a week off.

So let's celebrate early.

Keep the champagne
coming buster.

Don't forget.
I open the bottles.

You know that money you're
carrying isn't gonna

last long at this rate.

Plenty more where
that came from.

What are you?
A sailor with a gold mine?

Something like that.

Diamonds.

Are they real?

If they're not,

there's a certain
old Chinese merchant

in Hong Kong that's sure

throwing away
a thousand dollars.

That's what he's paying me
to get him to New York.

That's the way the
old merchant got them.

You know, sailor,

I've taken a real liking to you.

I thought I told you
to keep an eye on them.

That's what I've been doing,

and I don't like what I see.

Christine's getting real chummy.

She can take care of herself.

Not when she starts
on that bubble water.

I see what you mean.

That whaling ship
offered $300 for a mate.

With that and what
he's got with him,

oughta make it worthwhile.

He's not that drunk.

And with him opening
his own bottles,

he's not likely to be.

Supposing he walked
down that alley

and you were outside that
door waiting for him.

Who will steer him?

Christine.

Go get her.

Mr. Cocker wants to
talk to you Christine.

I'll be there in a minute.

He wants to talk to you now.

Get your filthy
hands off of her.

She's a woman and you'll
remember it, huh?

I'll be right back.

Don't get sore, mate,

I just run the errands.

I got a soft spot
in my heart for women.

Sure, sure you do.

How about having
a drink with me?

Something with
some body to it, huh?

You mean like whisky?

That's the ticket.

No thanks.

I know a whaler
that's sailing tonight.

They need a mate.

I can get a berth
anytime I want one.

Not on a stinking whale boat.

All right, chum.

There's a bonus in it.

For you? For me?

For both of us.

Here comes Christine,
I'd be gratified

if you didn't say nothing
about our little talk.

Well, then feel gratified.

Come on Jim.
Let's get out of here.

"Go home", he said,
"And don't come back".

Just because I wouldn't
drink his tea.

Oh, did Mr. Cocker fire you?

Oh, he didn't fire me.
I quit.

I know a place
in the back of here

that just love
champagne drinkers.

Come on.
Then, they're gonna love us.

JIM: ♪ Oh, blow the man down ♪

♪ We blow the man down ♪

♪ Hey, hey, blow the man down ♪

CHRISTINE: This way.

JIM: ♪ Oh, blow the man down ♪

♪ We blow the man down ♪

There's your two-bit
crimp, Cocker.

You got any more ideas?

I told you he was no fool.

I might have an idea at that.

Nothing violent.

Something by way
of being profitable.

I don't play penny ante.

Yeah, I know.

Come on inside.

Get up.

I understand you have interests,

shall we say,
other than the sea.

I might have.
What's your proposition?

Tell me about your
connections in New York.

In what line?

Jade.

You talk too much.
Get out of here, both of you.

Now, tell me about
this man in New York.

He buys himself,
doesn't ask any questions.

It's as simple as that.

How do I know I can trust you?

You don't.

You might decide
to make your own deal.

I might, but I don't
think it'd be smart.

I'm a high-priced
errand boy, Cocker.

You give me the goods,

I'll see to it it's delivered.

I like the way you talk.
You come back tomorrow.

I may have something
that will interest you.

The price is right,
I'll be interested.

By the way,
I always get what I pay for.

One way or another,
I always get what I pay for.

I'll try to see that you
get what you got coming.

Come on.

What was he doing in here?
Who?

Jim Hardie.
He's a Wells Fargo detective.

The guy that
just left your office.

Oh, Chris,
wait in the other room.

Are you sure?
Positive.

He's been in the store
several times.

He fooled all of us.

Did he see you?
I don't think so.

That means he's
just playing a hunch.

There's only one way
he could have known

about the Queen Bee.

Turnbull.
That's right.

Yeah, but you
said the city police

had already been here.

They believed your story.

They were and they did,

but Wells Fargo
is a different deal.

Now that that Hardie is onto us,

he'll never let go
until he's dead.

Hey, wait a minute.

I didn't bargain for violence.

I don't want any part
of that or the jade.

I'm getting out of here.

Let him go, Twitch.

I think you'd better
see that Mr. Vance

gets home safely, Twitch.

Yeah, I better do that.

They just found Vance's body

in the bay an hour ago.

You think it was him
that tipped him off

about the shipment.

Why don't you tell
your general manager?

I've got no proof.
I gotta find the jade.

What if they catch on to
you being with Wells Fargo?

They won't.

Did you get in touch
with Martha?

I sent her a wire
a little while go.

This will just about kill her.

What did you say?

I told her we'd be there
in time for Thanksgiving,

and we will.

There's a ship leaving
tonight that needs a mate.

You're it.

And just to make sure
this stuff gets to New York,

I'm sending a man
along with you.

He'll be waiting at the
warehouse at Keifer's Wharf.

Now, you wait outside.

Christine will bring
this out to you.

My price is 10%.

I'd like to know
what I'll be carrying.

Here's a thousand

and another thousand when
the deal goes through.

$20,000?

In that little bag?

I'm beginning to think I'm
on the wrong side of this deal.

He'll never know how wrong.

What if he takes the pay

and goes straight
to Wells Fargo?

He won't.

He wants the jade.
He'll show up.

JIM: Call it a hunch,
call it anything you want to.

I didn't like the time they
were taking in that room,

but I needed
the jade to clear the skipper.

You know where to go, Jim.

Hurry back.

It may take a little time.

I'll be here.

JIM: Someone might come out
of the backdoor anytime,

but I had to know
if the jade was in that bag.

Pebbles. Nothing
but rocks off of the beach.

It could be
they were testing me.

Their way of finding out
if I'd show up

at the warehouse.

There was only one thing to do.

Come on, Twitch.
Get in your spot.

Hello?

Is anybody here?

I know you're
from Wells Fargo, Hardie

and you've been
investigating us,

but it won't do you any good.

If you kill me,
you'll have the whole company

down on your neck.

If I don't get you,
somebody will.

You killed Jack Marrow
and Vance.

They'll run you down
and you'll hang for it.

Don't leave me like this.

Oh, God.

Don't leave me.

Somebody help me.

Somebody.

I guess I'm done for.

I can't move.

That Cocker.

Where's the jade?

Cocker running off.

You can even things
with him now.

Where's the jade?

His desk...

false door.

Sidney Ducks.

Never let a man down.

False door.

False friend.

They still haven't any proof.

It's Hardie's word against mine,

and we still have the jade.

You just stick to
the story and everything

will be just like old times.

Will it, Trent?
Sure, it will honey, sure.

How long will you be gone?

Until they pin it on Turnbull,

and that won't take long.

I think you'd better
change your mind.

I'm gonna hold you
for the murder of Jack Marrow

and Henry Vance.

What are you talking about?

You don't have anything on me.

Yes, he has.
Shut up, you little fool.

Look, I've always done
everything you wanted me to,

but nobody's gonna take
the blame for your murders.

He's the man you want.

Chris...

Look, the next time a woman

falls in love with you,

try returning that love.

Take him away.

Tell 'em that's all.

Our hearts are full, dear Lord,

for the many, many blessings

that you have bestowed upon us.

For the fertile fields

and running rivers
of our beloved country.

For the time to live
and enjoy them.

For the freedom
to walk with Thee.

For all of these things,
dear Lord,

we are eternally grateful.

ALL: Amen.

Bless you, Jim.
God bless you.

Well, not just gonna sit here

and look at it, are we?
