Alright, Red

the truth is, I don't know where the money is.

Either you believe me or you don't.

I don't!

And I don't think you've got guts enough to keep lying.

You wanna change your mind?

If I did, I'd just be putting it off

a little while longer, Red.

Then we'd have to go through this all over again.

Tell him what he wants to know.

Mister, he'll kill you next time.

Don't make him do it, please.

"Maverick."

Starring James Garner and Jack Kelly.

Produced by Warner Brothers.

From the entertainment capital of the world

produced for television by Warner Brothers.

Hello, glad to see you with us again.

This week's story takes you to Nevada

where you'll meet a group of unforgettable characters.

None of them too law-abiding

but all guaranteed to be fascinating.

It's called "The Third Rider."

My friend is hurt and we need your horse, get off.

There's only way you're gonna get this horse, mister.

You're liable to be shot before I stop kicking.

On the other hand, if you were to ask me

in a real friendly way

I might take your partner aboard double.

My horse is fresh.

Get up, Jose.

I said in a nice friendly way.

Alright, I'd like to give my partner a lift.

Come on up, Joe.

You'll get it back when you get off.

You first.

Hang on.

Hold it.

I didn't tell you to stop.

Just the same, if he doesn't get some rest

he's gonna be in bad shape.

- Si. - No, we got to keep going.

Please, Red, my arm.

Look, I got you this far.

I'll get you the rest of the way.

This is what you told me Miguel before he--

- Shut up. - I didn't ask you...

...what happened to his horse or his arm

but if he keeps going, he's gonna wind up

the same as his friend Miguel.

Look, I'm not asking you any more

I'm telling you.

Now get going or I'll blow

a hole in your head.

Step down.

This fella got any next of kin?

Can't say. I just met him.

Might just as well bury him right here.

Take care of it, Bob.

Come on, you.

Well... I ain't much for riding anymore.

For the past three days, you've been taking me up and down

places a self-respecting goat wouldn't go.

I'm sorry for your ups and downs, mister

but I haven't been leading you anywhere.

You got the bare face gall to deny it

with your partner laying dead over there?

He's not my partner.

And I still don't know you.

The name's Edwards, the sheriff over at Elm City.

Said city having a bank that you and your partners

robbed three nights ago.

I've been tracking you ever since.

You're not much for tracking either

or else you would have known I just met

those two this morning.

You got to think of a better one than that.

Sure, we lost your trail a time or two

but we always picked it up.

There was three of you when you started

and three of you when we caught up with you.

I never been in Elm City.

I'm too tired to argue.

Supposed we just let the judge decide

where you've been and what you've done.

They let Red get away.

He was running the show.

Oh, so you did know him?

Just what I heard, sheriff.

They were talking about a man named Miguel who died

probably during one of those times you lost the trail.

Since you heard so much, what happened to the 80,000?

Red didn't have that on him when they picked me up.

They were traveling light.

Where'd you bury it?

In my hat.

As soon as we give your friend Jose a Christian burial

we'll start riding back.

If it'll make you feel any better...

...you could be telling the truth.

If you are, all you have to do is prove it.

That won't be easy.

I just came down here from Denver.

Alone?

Till this morning.

How long did it take you?

Eight days.

Eight days alone.

Too bad.

Too bad.

[Maverick] Edwards wasn't partial to saddle leather

so we went back first class.

Just to keep everything legal

he even had a warrant for my arrest

in his pocket.

You taking that man back to jail?

That's right, sonny, let that be a lesson to you.

Crime doesn't pay.

Very, very funny.

Ma, there's a live outlaw over there.

The man next to the window.

What's going on here?

- He tried to jump me. - He jumped me.

- Sheriff Edwards of Elm City. - Now hold it you.

Cover him, conductor.

His name is Maverick.

And I've got the warrant right here.

Alright, which one of you two is telling the truth?

I got the key to these cuffs right in my pocket.

You picked my pocket!

No wonder they call him Light Fingers Maverick.

He's telling the truth.

The man next to the window is going to jail.

He told that kid that.

Well, you didn't deny it, Maverick.

- Did he, ma'am? - No, he didn't.

I've been trailing him for weeks.

He's wanted back in Elm City.

I'll take that gun, conductor.

You give him that gun you'll regret it.

[Maverick] When we get back to Elm City

the folks there'll identify me.

Nothing to worry about, conductor.

On the other hand, I'd like to get him out of this coach.

He's a little dangerous, what, with the children and all.

Very well, sheriff.

Oh, I hope you saved your money.

You're gonna be looking for a new job.

Uh-uh, Light Fingers, let's go.

They'll never believe this in Elm City.

Take them off.

I know you're gonna be following me.

The next time we meet, I'm gonna have the proof I'm innocent

and I'm gonna make you eat it, sheriff.

If you weren't as guilty as sin, you wouldn't be doing this.

Well, that's where you're wrong, sheriff.

I'm innocent as a new born babe and just as broke.

Hang it on that post.

I keep adding up five-percent of $80,000 and...

...it just keeps coming out 4,000 every time.

It's gonna be easy for me to find Red

'cause I'm the only one who knows

what he looks like.

Oh, there is a reward, isn't there?

You know, I've met my share of swindlers

conmen, and fancy talkers

but, brother, you take the turkey.

Darn if you haven't got me convinced

you might be an honest man.

As I said, crime doesn't pay.

How do you think it's gonna look to other people

leaving an officer of the law hogtied like this?

Well, don't worry about it.

I'll get that key back to you just as soon as I can.

[Maverick] There weren't many men who'd fit Red's description.

So I figured if I just followed the direction he took

sooner or later, I'd run into someone who'd seen him.

That's what I thought.

But it looked like Red had dug a hole and crawled in.

Then he came up for air.

A man fitting Red's description had hit Silver City.

But if Red was still in town

he wasn't being obvious about it.

On the second day, a pretty young waitress

attracted my attention.

And on the third day, I was still attracted.

But for an entirely different reason.

Three times a day, she'd carry that tray of food up.

And each time, she'd bring it down empty.

The room clerk told me about the linen and the free bath

but he didn't mention the room service.

Is that reserved for special customers?

You get yourself a broken leg, mister like that

old galoot upstairs and you'll get the same service.

It might be worth it.

Mister, the food isn't that good.

Uh, deal.

[Maverick] It turned out, no one knew the old gentleman

with the broken leg.

So I figured he had red hair and two good legs.

Hold it, Red.

A lot of people want to die in bed.

You touch that gun, you're going to make it.

You could have knocked and saved yourself a lot of trouble.

I don't think it's right for a man with a broken leg

to have to get up to open the door.

Dolly isn't very convincing is she?

What do you want?

You.

When did you start wearing a badge?

I'm not.

But the fella that's looking for me is.

You should have let us take your horse.

I gave you the chance.

I wouldn't worry about it, Red.

You're going back to Elm City with me

just to straighten it all out.

Get on your feet.

The three of us, you, me, and the money

we're all going back together

just to prove I'm an honest fella.

I thought you'd get around to that.

I wouldn't want to surprise you.

You don't think I'd be holed up here if I had that money.

No, just long enough for things to settle down

so you can go back to wherever you left it.

It's a pretty good guess.

Things ain't settled down enough.

They settled.

Let's go.

I'll make you a real good deal, half the money.

But we can't go back there now.

It's too dangerous.

Not as dangerous as it is here.

I drew a map.

You forget about taking me back and it's yours.

I got a better idea.

I'll take the map and you.

Either you can give it to me now or let me find it.

- It's over there. - Where?

Behind the looking glass.

Go ahead.

That ought to take care of him for a while.

I told him the food wasn't that good.

But the service is great. Thanks, Dolly.

As long as I've got half interest in that much money

you'll always get good service.

Alright get your things together.

- I'll meet you out back. - What about him?

- He saw the map, didn't he? - Nah.

You hit him before he got a good look at it.

He won't find us.

Now hurry up.

Well, if you're ready, we can start back anytime.

I'm ready.

Alright, Edwards, you've had your fun.

Can't I take it off now?

Oh, you're just self-conscious, Maverick.

Nobody notices it if you just ignore it

like that key you were gonna send me.

You remember the baggage car?

I'll make you a deal.

Anything.

Alright, where's the money hid?

If I knew where it was, I think it'd be worth it.

Too bad, Maverick. Too bad.

Just so you don't make the same mistake twice.

Maverick.

I've got some good news for you.

The judge doesn't think we got much of a case against you.

Nothing to tie you into the robbery.

No money found on you, no witnesses.

And my word that you might be telling the truth.

I said "might."

When do I get out?

There'll be a hearing tomorrow.

The rest is up to the judge.

Just a hearing, no trial?

The hearing will be held to see if there's enough evidence

to bring you to trial.

No use wasting the tax payer's money

if we haven't got a case against you.

Of course what I have to say might make the difference.

What are you driving at?

Oh, nothing special.

Let's just say that, uh, you were let off...

...then maybe we could both go after Red

since you know what he looks like.

Once I get out of here

I'm forgetting I ever saw you or this town or Red.

Well, what happens to you tomorrow depends a lot on me.

And then there is always that reward money

divided in two, it means 2,000 a piece.

Alright, Light Fingers, if I get out of here

we look for Red and the money.

I knew you were too civic-minded not to.

Better put some cotton in your ears, Collins

he's liable to fast talk you

into letting him walk right out of here.

Not a chance.

See you at the hearing.

[Collins] The judge may think you're caught in the middle

of this thing, but I don't.

Neither does anybody else in this town.

You must had some money in that bank.

Most of us did.

But that ain't the reason.

Edwards doesn't bring a man back unless he's guilty.

There wasn't anybody to bring back except me.

And he didn't relish going back empty-handed.

The time before we had to saw him loose from that baggage car

he didn't have you with him then, did he?

- What's Edwards say? - He don't.

Maybe that's why he's so anxious not to have that trial.

Something tells me I'm gonna sleep real good tonight.

Now for the next act of "Maverick."

Sheriff, that thieving galoot tell you

where our money's hid yet?

He doesn't seem to know much about that subject.

Well, then you ought to be back there right now

getting out of him.

You think I should beat it out of him?

Now look, sheriff, we all had money in that bank.

Just for the record, every cent I saved was in there.

Same with me, but the longer he stalls

gives his partner more time to get it.

His partner won't risk coming back till things quiet down.

- If it is his partner. - What do you mean "if?"

There's just a chance that Maverick doesn't know anything

about that money.

It's up to the judge to decide that.

You just let me in that cell with him.

He'll be glad to tell me where it's hid.

Now, look you all asked me to take this job

as long as I have it, we're gonna stick to the law.

And that means that the prisoner is innocent

until we prove him guilty.

You could have knocked.

I'll take care of that on the way out.

Right now, I want to talk to you.

Now that you're here, button me up.

You've been wanting to get back to New York

but we're getting out of here tonight.

Why all of the sudden tonight?

I was ready to leave this gopher hole two months ago.

When I promise something, I deliver.

I know where we can lay our hands on $80,000.

Now, does that sound worthwhile leaving for?

I'd even stay for that. What do we have to--

I'll tell you all about it later.

Right now, you better get out there

and entertain your public.

Turk, you-you just can't say something like that

and not explain it.

I said later.

They'll be asking questions if you don't get out there.

Oh, I'll probably lose my voice in the middle of the number.

What voice?

[Turk] Do exactly what I tell you, Collins

and you won't get hurt.

Don't try it.

Drop your gun belt, Collins.

Now go over and unlock the door.

Now go over and unlock the cell.

Turk, you're doing a fool thing.

Give it up now before it's too late.

- Let's go. - Go where?

Out.

We're doing you a favor.

Now act like you appreciate it.

I don't know you.

Why should you break me out of here?

I haven't got time to explain, get going.

Look, I like it here fine.

Why don't you just go away and leave me alone?

Not a chance.

I appreciate your concern, but I can't take your offer.

Why don't you forget you ever saw me?

By tomorrow, I'll be a free man

and everything will be just fine.

We haven't got all night, Turk.

Look, mister, it's too late for us to turn back now.

Either you walk out or they'll come and carry you out.

Now, let's get going!

[Blanche] Turk, don't.

Stone dead.

Now that's mighty considerate of Collins.

The shot would have attracted attention.

Try that again.

You don't need much reason to kill a man, do you?

You can do your talking later, when we want to hear it.

Ah!

I don't think he'll give you any trouble.

When will you be back?

Not till in the night.

As long as I work bar during the day

no one will connect me with the break out.

You're taking good care of yourself.

Doing as much for her?

I hate to disappoint you

but I took real good care of her.

Just so it'll ease your mind

I'll be back there entertaining tonight.

So you see, there'll always be one of us here

and one of us in town.

We're gonna stay right here for a long time

until you're ready to talk.

And we're gonna be a lot more comfortable than you are.

I don't think he likes me.

Too bad you picked a man like Turk.

What do you mean, too bad?

Well, he creates a problem.

If it was just you and me, I might see things differently.

- What things? - All that money.

You and I could do a lot with it.

Oh, come on. You can do better than that.

Next you'll be telling me he's not good enough for me.

Or that he'll walk out on me first chance he gets.

Well, I was thinking of something like that

but I'll try to think of something better.

Anyway, thanks for telling me you do know where the money is.

Turk will be glad to hear that when he gets back.

So there I was sitting with three aces

then this lady standing behind me drops her handkerchief.

So I leaned over to pick it up.

And that's when the other fella turns up a royal flush.

He and this lovely lady were working together.

But in order to call him a cheater, I had to include her.

So I took my licking like a man and walked away.

But it's been a long time

since I picked up another handkerchief.

Oh, one thing I can say

you sure make the time pass very pleasantly.

I wasn't looking forward to this.

Well, thank you, ma'am.

From the first time I looked at you, I was.

Turk won't appreciate that kind of talk

when I tell him about it.

[Maverick] Oh, you won't tell him, Blanche.

Turk's been up here two nights now

all he does is ask questions and make threats.

I think you've made him agree not to rough me up.

Maybe.

But don't count on me holding him off forever.

He'll go along with it for a while

but then he'll do things his way.

And I won't blame him when the time comes.

'Cause you see, Mr. Maverick

$80,000 is more money than I ever dreamed of.

I want it maybe even worse than Turk does.

You want it bad enough to share it with me?

You don't give up easily, do you?

You're afraid to think about it, Blanche, aren't you?

But you ought to.

'Cause I don't plan to tell Turk where the money is

just you.

Providing you see things my way.

It'd be a lot easier if you sat a little closer.

I can manage from here.

Afraid?

Of what? You're tied up.

That's not what I mean.

You, you think I'm afraid to get too close to you?

Mm.

Well, I'm not.

I'll believe you when you prove it.

Well, that's not close enough to prove anything

except what I said.

You better put that away, your hand shaking

like a popper in a high wind.

You're, you're imagining things.

I'm willing to be convinced.

What are you gonna do about us?

I, I don't know.

You better decide before he comes back.

Cut yourself loose.

I'll get the horses.

Which way do we go?

If you stay on it, it'll take you back to Elm City.

I'm going the other way.

Just what does that mean?

A man's tied up hand and foot

he isn't responsible for some of the things he says.

I should have known better.

I told you the truth to begin with.

I don't know where the money is.

You make a worm look like a man.

Now that's no way for a lady to talk.

When Turk finds out, he'll tear you to pieces.

Especially when you tell him you left him for me.

But I'm sure you'll think of something better than that.

Why, you...

It isn't so black, Blanche.

You can always tell him a fellow

by the name of Red broke me loose.

That way, he'll take you back.

And if he doesn't, you'll know he would have

walked out on you sooner or later.

I won't forget this.

I wish you'd try.

We'll find you.

You can count on it.

[Maverick] I knew Red would have his hands

on that money by now.

But I got a good look at that map

enough to know just about where the money had been buried.

I could pick up his trail from there.

Nope, ain't seen the two fellows you're looking for.

But there was one fellow past by here.

Had black hair, wearing a buckskin coat

and riding a sorrel horse like you said.

You sure he was alone?

Yeah, he was alone.

Thanks.

They must have gotten separated.

Let's hope so, Blanche.

Let's hope there is a man named Red, for your sake.

[Maverick] I picked up Red's trail in Gatesville.

It brought me to Cottonwood.

And then it ran out.

But when you're tracking someone

you leave a pretty broad trail yourself.

And I'd been expecting Blanche and her friend Turk to show up.

They hadn't yet.

So when your luck runs out

and you're bone tired

and you've got a belly full of dust

there's only one thing to do.

It seems the last time we did this

you were on the bed and I was standing where you are.

A lot of things have happened since then.

You should be a very prosperous man.

Mister, don't be funny.

Just what do you want?

- Where is it? - Where's what?

You got a better look at that map than I thought.

So you haven't got the money?

Instead of tying you up

I should have put a bullet in your head.

Tell me, how did I get there before you?

By not having her along.

Get off the bed.

You know since the first time I ran into you

I've been locked up, threatened

slugged and tied hand and foot.

I've been charged with robbery

and murder and few other things.

Right now, I'm getting pretty tired of the whole thing.

So if you'll just go away, I'm willing to forget

I ever saw you or even heard of the money.

But I'm not willing.

You're the only one that saw that map.

And, mister, that money didn't just fly away.

After what's happened, anything is possible.

Where is it?

I know you won't believe me

but I just went through this

with another happy couple like you.

You're prettier than she is, but she's more cooperative.

You better get cooperative.

It seems everything's against my catching my sleep.

Well, I wouldn't want to interfere with that.

So you just lay down there on the bed, and when it gets dark

we're getting out of here.

Now, look, Red, this...

There's nothing more to talk about

unless you want to tell me right now

where you put my money.

Now, back to "Maverick."

Alright, mount up and ride out of town, real easy.

Maybe from now on you'll trust me.

Alright, Blanche.

You got an apology coming.

Hold it.

This makes three times you've changed direction.

I told you it's all in my head.

I got to keep remembering it, Red.

I want to know where we're going.

You'll know that when you get there.

That's the deal we made.

We didn't make no deal.

You did.

Get off.

Trace it right here in the dirt

just where we're going

and exactly where you got the money hid.

You're lying.

I know every inch of this country

and there's no such place.

Alright, Red

the truth is, I don't know where the money is.

Either you believe me or you don't.

I don't.

And I don't think you've got guts enough to keep lying.

You wanna change your mind?

If I did, I'd just be putting it off

a little while longer, Red.

Then we'd have to go through this all over again.

Tell him what he wants to know.

Mister, he'll kill you next time.

You know she just might be right.

I'm not a good enough shot to keep missing.

I'm not a good enough liar to keep lying.

Don't make him do it, please.

I'm not looking forward to dying, Red.

If there was some other way out of this, I'd take it.

Now that's not very friendly.

First I get you out of jail, save your neck

and then you try to take a shot at me.

Is that Red's girl?

Meet two friends of mine, Blanche and Turk.

She's the one I said wasn't as pretty as you

but more cooperative.

What do you mean more cooperative?

I'm sorry, I told you I picked up my last handkerchief.

You better make sense fast.

It isn't the kind of a thing a gentleman likes to say.

But, uh, I still would have been tied to that bed

if she wasn't nice enough to cut me loose.

Uh-uh. Blanche already told me

it was him that broke you out.

I ought to blow your head off.

Before you do, talk to her about it.

She was with him every minute.

Is he telling the truth?

What's it matter now?

I wanna know.

Red never helped him.

He said he knew where the money was.

He was gonna take me to it

and then I was gonna send for you.

You expect me to believe that?

I got more bad news for you, Turk.

I never did know where the money was.

When you caught up with us just now

he was using me as target practice

'cause I couldn't lead him to it.

Or wouldn't.

It's true.

If he'd know anything, he wouldn't have let Red

shoot at him like that.

If I knew where it was, I wouldn't be here now.

I got to change my habits.

I've been believing the wrong people.

I guess you were telling the truth

all the way down the line.

I still think he knows where it is.

You can't get over what he done to you, can you, Blanche?

Well, I'm convinced he's telling the truth.

I told him the only thing that was keeping him alive

was knowing where the money is.

If that ain't worth lying for, then nothing is.

He's wanted back in Elm City for killing a man name Collins

a good friend of mine.

Me and Blanche are gonna take him back.

Haven't you got things mixed up, Turk?

Unless you got something to stay for, you can leave now.

The reward for bringing him back ain't $80,000

but it's still a lot more money than we ever seen.

A minute ago, you were ready to shoot me.

That was a minute ago.

He may get the urge again someday.

It won't work anymore.

You see, Blanche and me, we got to stick together now.

When I left Elm City, the town had got up a $5,000 reward

for bringing you in.

The reward sounds great

but what happens when we get there?

He'll say it was us.

Well, if they ever caught him, he'd say it then too.

So let him say it.

We're bringing him in.

Who they gonna believe, law-abiding citizens

or a killer with a reward on his head?

Mount up. They're waiting back in Elm City.

[Edwards] Don't take that gun off him, Turk.

[Maverick] It's sure good to see you Light Fingers.

I don't know why.

Where did you two run into him?

We didn't run into him.

I went looking for him.

Collins was a good friend of mine.

Not to mention the reward.

It was a personal matter, sheriff.

You know, when we get back to Elm City

I ought to make you a deputy.

A man like you is pretty rare around there today.

I'm not asking for any thanks.

Just seeing him pay for killing Collins will be enough.

Sheriff, do you think I could talk to you for a minute?

Oh, yeah he's been threatening me.

Said if I took him in, he'd tell everybody in town

I was in cahoots with him or something.

That I did it.

Well, you might as well hear it.

It's good for a laugh.

Is that right, Maverick?

You know, sheriff, every time I tell the truth

I, uh, seem to wind up in trouble.

I just can't seem to get out of the habit.

Go ahead.

We got lots of time.

The fact is, those two killed Collins.

Then they broke me out of jail because of the money.

They thought I knew where it was.

They even figured I'd be grateful enough

to share it with them.

Trusting souls, weren't they?

Why would I wanna break out, sheriff?

I had a deal. I was practically a free man.

I don't even have to think about that.

You see, when you went after Red and the money

I'd have been with you.

You wouldn't have liked that.

You've got more answers than I have, sheriff.

But, how did I hit that deputy hard enough to kill him?

What did I use?

How'd I get him to open the cell?

A lot of folks are still trying to figure out

how I happened to be handcuffed to a baggage car.

You know, where you're concerned, a lot of things

can happen and generally do.

Well, given up already?

Pappy taught me never to play the second best hand.

I'll wait for the next deal.

Stay where you are. Don't make another move.

What happened?

Well, sheriff, I just turned over in my sleep.

When I try to escape, you won't know it till it happens.

Turk, I can't take anymore chances with him.

If he got away from me again

I'd never be able to go back to Elm City.

I'll take over.

You sure you can keep your eyes open long enough, Light Fingers?

I ain't taking them off of you

till I get you back to Elm City.

And I'll sleep much better

knowing you're looking after me.

Yeah.

Sheriff, I got a proposition for you.

No, you haven't.

I don't want to go back to Elm City.

I got an idea that folks back there

might be just a trifle unfriendly.

They might not even wait for me to come to trial.

And what I want most is a trial.

Elm City is where I got to take you.

You see, that's where you're wanted.

You can take me to the county seat

and put a good strong guard around me

I'll tell you something you might want to hear.

And just what might that be?

Where the money is naturally.

I buried it and I'll take you to it.

Is it worth trading for?

You know, in spite of all the evidence against you

right up until this minute

I thought maybe you were innocent.

Right from the beginning I felt that way.

That is, up until now.

I didn't believe you knew where the money was.

Maybe you weren't even in on that hold up.

Sorry to disappoint you, sheriff.

But is it a deal?

No deal.

You see, I happen to know where the money is.

Right now it's back in the Elm City Bank.

A bunch of kids found it when they were digging a tunnel.

I had to go pick it up, otherwise I would have

had you back there before now.

I suppose you got an answer to that too.

It really doesn't matter.

Oh, no, go right ahead.

Why deprive us of your bedtime stories?

Alright, I won't.

I was going to take you to a place and

point it out and tell you that's where the money was buried.

And then Turk would have tried to gun us down

to take it all himself.

But I would have been ready for him

and I figured you would be too.

I know.

I know it's just a waste of words.

But as long as I went to the trouble to figure it all out

I thought someone ought to hear it.

Yeah, you ought to put it to music, Maverick.

It makes a mighty sad song.

But right now, we're starting back.

And incidentally, we're going to Elm City.

[Edwards] Turk, take that side.

Blanche, get over behind that rock and stay there.

Don't even breathe, sheriff.

I'm looking right down your back.

Take that gun by the barrel and pass it to me.

If I had any sense, I'd shoot you now and keep going.

I've played this hand bad enough from the start

so why change now.

I'm gonna give you this gun back.

But first, we're gonna make one more deal.

I want to talk to Blanche for just five minutes.

Then you can take me back.

Yeah, you hold a gun on her like this

she'll say anything, it won't prove a thing.

I know that. We got a deal?

I ain't got much choice.

Spotted him yet?

You haven't seen me.

No, not yet.

Alright, sheriff, just one more thing.

Give me time to get to her and fire a shot.

You sure you know what you're doing?

No, but why start now?

You know any reason why I shouldn't kill you now?

I'm gonna give you one chance to live

if you tell the truth.

I want you to yell it out so the sheriff can hear you.

I want you to tell him who really killed Collins.

I'll see you get an honest shake when we get back.

Turk did the killing, not you.

I'll testify how you turned me loose up at the cabin.

That'll be in your favor.

As soon as I open my mouth, Turk will kill me.

I'll be here to see he doesn't.

Now, you keep your head down and yell out.

All I'm asking is you tell them the truth.

- You get him, sheriff? - No.

If you're going to do it, do it now.

Sheriff Edwards, let Maverick go.

Turk's the man you want.

He killed your deputy not Maverick.

Don't pull that trigger, Turk.

Now, you-you got it all wrong, sheriff.

I wasn't trying to get her, it was Maverick.

Sure, you got a gun that shoots around corners.

Well, look, he had a gun on her.

He'd make her say anything.

Ain't that right, Blanche?

Give me that rifle, Maverick.

Alright, he hadn't got a gun on her now.

Blanche, you got anything you want to tell me?

He was gonna kill you, Blanche.

What I just said was true.

- He did it. - Why, you...

Don't put temptation in my way again, Turk.

Collins was really a friend of mine.

Get on your horse.

What are you gonna tell 'em back in Elm City, Light Fingers?

About how they had to cut you loose from the baggage car?

I won't have to tell them anything

now that you're not going to trial.

Hello. I hope you enjoyed the show.

Next week we bring you

the exciting story of a strange woman

and an even stranger revenge.

One thousand dollars for the pleasure of my company.

The pleasure of your company doesn't enter into it at all.

Ma'am.

I'm taking this with me.

[Bret] Catherine McLeod plays Margaret Ross.

A woman with a rage for vengeance.

And a plan for carrying it out

that will have you guessing every suspenseful second.

I know everything about you.

Who you are and what you're up to.

I know how you fight.

And I know how to fight you.

Enjoy yourself, Mrs. Ross.

It'll be a short fight.

You'll never even know what hit you.

[Bret] John Russell plays Grimes.

A man of violence and ambition.

Mrs. Ross, I merely urge you to keep an open mind.

My mind is always open, Mr. Grimes.

And so are my eyes.

What references do you have, Mrs. Ross?

The very best, Mr. Bradshaw.

Money.

Y-you're absolutely right.

You there! What are you doing?

Hold it! Hold it there!

I don't want you here, Bret.

I don't want... complications.

We've got those already. Both of us.

You're a killer.

And a liar. And a coward.

If you want to get on your horse now and leave

I won't stop you.

[Bret] It's called "Rage for Vengeance."

See you here next week.

This has been an ABC Television Network presentation.
