Original subtitles

Hold it right there, mister.

You're gonna let that female go.

We ain't got no call to be killing her.

- Now, get out of here. - No, Bart, no.

Now, listen, honey, if there was some way

I could use you I would, but there isn't.

Now, get out.

"Maverick."

Starring James Garner and Jack Kelly.

Produced by Warner Brothers.

From the entertainment capital of the world.

Produced for television by Warner Brothers.

Alright, mayor.

I see you.

Funny, somehow I didn't count on you having that third ace.

Had enough?

For tonight. Well, I'll try again tomorrow.

- No you won't. - I beg your pardon?

We got a rule.

No gambling on Sunday.

Besides you're leaving town tonight.

I couldn't afford to do that.

After all, sir, you've won more than $700 from me.

Surely I'll get a chance to get even.

What for? You ain't got much more than $20 left.

- Less than 20. - Well, then.

It don't make much sense for me to risk my 700

against your 20, does it?

- Correction, mayor, my 700. - Not no more.

Anyway, in case I was tempted, we got another rule.

No professional gamblers allowed in town on Sunday.

Tell me how long is that rule been in effect?

Just thought of it.

But most of the towns council is right here.

How about it gents?

All those in favor, raise your hands.

Rule ratified.

There.

Five minutes more will be Sunday.

That's just about how long you got to get out of town.

Tell me, sir, does this rule apply

to all professional gamblers, or just to me?

Oh, what's fair for one is fair for all.

Any professional gamblers who ain't out of town

on Saturday by midnight is subject to jail.

And a $20 fine.

Time is just about up.

Gentlemen.

Oh, uh, since it is so close to Sunday

may I propose the Bible text for tomorrows sermon?

"I was a stranger and ye took me in."

Now, what's your business, mister?

My business?

Well, I just rode into town

for a friendly little game of cards, boys.

I'm sorry, uh, Mr. Maverick, wasn't it?

You were penalized under a law that was made for me.

Well, cheer up, one of these days they may refer it to

as a Gentleman Jack Darby law.

Ha-ha, thank you, sir.

My mistake was in assuming a man is a sheep

because he looks like one.

Somewhere along the way the Mayor turned into a Lion.

Yeah, but we profit by our mistakes.

True.

You profited by mine, didn't cost you a cent.

Still, I don't want you to feel you owe me anything.

Well, I appreciate that.

On the other hand it seems only fair

that you should advance me a small stake

out of the money I saved you.

- It does? - Say, uh, $500.

I'll pay you back of course

out of my winnings when I get to Crescent city.

No, I'll be lucky to get into a game myself.

You see I've only got $12.

Oh.

Oh I'm terribly sorry, I hope I haven't embarrassed you.

Not at all.

I shouldn't try and collect that reward if I were you, sir.

I hadn't even thought of it.

Actually I'm quiet innocent.

Of course, I don't expect you to believe that.

- Thank you. - It's all a tragic mistake.

But I don't intend to let it go uncorrected.

If it takes the rest of my life I'm gonna clear my good name.

Which one?

Well... shall we move along?

But, in separate directions if it's all same to you.

Oh, and when we were getting on so well.

Surely you're not gonna let a little thing

like this come between us?

No, a little thing like that.

Well, I'll put it away.

If I have your word as a gentleman

you'll give me no cause to regret it.

From one gentleman to another you have it.

Ha.

After you, sir.

What's the idea of coming up behind a man like that?

Sorry to have startled you sir.

But the only reason I was behind you

is because your back was to the door.

Oh, well alright, forget about it.

I'm a little jumpy that's all.

You would be too if you were in my boots.

Uh, well, I'm not in your boots.

What seems to be the trouble?

Them. That's what.

The Plummers.

Alvy, Rafe

Clim, Luke, and Little Jeb.

- All in town at the same time. - The Plummer?

Yeah, one bad enough, two's terrible

three is disastrous four is a calamity, but five--

Well, if they're such trouble makers why don't you

just go over there and arrest 'em?

- Put 'em in jail. - Jail?

That's about the only place in town where it's safe.

Well, sir, if you, uh, seem to be in luck.

Well, glory be, they're leaving.

Oh-oh, all but Little Jeb.

Well, he's the best of the lot.

What I mean is if we are talking about people

he'd be the worst.

If we're talking about Plummers, he ain't so bad.

Now, what do you want?

Well, sir, I'm a little embarrassed to say.

Of course, I realize that it's my duty to tell you.

This man's still wanted?

"Gentleman Jack Darby."

- Do you know where he is? - Yes.

But you see, Sheriff.

We've become very close friends.

And frankly my conscience is bothering me.

Now, you look here, mister.

If you know where Darby's at and you don't tell

that's the same as aiding and abetting a fugitive.

- It is? - Yes. Now where is he?

Where's the money?

The money?

You mean telling me that you'd accept money

for turning in a friend?

Yes.

Oh, I see.

Well, we don't advance no cash here.

This reward's offered by the Missouri Surety Company

and ain't buying no pig in a poke.

First, they'll send an agent down here

to make sure I've got the right man.

Maybe take, oh, a whole two three days

before I get an okay

for pay off from the main office.

Oh. Well, I'm sorry.

I'm afraid, I couldn't possibly wait that long.

Now, you hold on.

Where do you think you're going.

Look, sheriff

this man is one of my closest friends.

Well, if I didn't need the money right now.

I wouldn't be turning him in at all.

Well, I appreciate that, but them ain't the laws.

Besides, think of the embarrassment

hanging around here for days waiting for that reward.

With him staring at me out of those

big sad bewildered eyes

Oh, no, I couldn't do it, I couldn't possibly face him.

Now, wait a minute.

In a special case like this

sometimes I can make an arrangement.

Oh.

Now, for example

I could advance you half the money.

As soon as I'm sure I've got the right man.

And all you got to do

is sign over the balance of the reward to me.

Now, how about it?

Five hundred is better than none.

- Seven fifty. - Six hundred.

Done.

Now, don't you think you can bamboozle me.

So happens that Gentleman Jack, has a lady friend

working right here in Crescent city.

Oh, I know, that's why I was coming here.

By the way, sheriff, you know of course, that Darby

keeps all his personal papers in the lining of his boot.

Huh?

Oh, yes. Sure.

You'll find his discharge papers

from the army, the confederacy.

A picture of his white haired old mother

and various pictures of assorted young ladies.

Good, well I'll round up a few deputies

and we'll go after him as soon as you tell us where he is.

Oh, first sheriff suppose we resolve

our little deal in the writing.

I'll sign the reward over to you

and you give me a letter that says

you're buying Jack Darby from me for $600.

Payable on delivery.

Do you think that'd sit up in court?

I don't think it'll ever have to, sheriff.

Now, back to Maverick

Alright, Darby.

Throw down your gun, you're surrounded.

Hold your fire, men.

Don't take no chances.

This fellow's pull a more twist

than the cork screw cyclone.

Where is he? Where's Darby?

Never mind that, Darby.

That gun of yours ain't gonna do you no more good

than a bent pea shooter.

If you take a notion to use it.

I mean you! Drop it!

Uh, you made a mistake, gents.

I'm not Darby.

- My name is Maverick. - Maverick.

We know what you're callin' yourself

Check his boots.

Hey, those aren't my boots.

"To my darling, Gentleman Jack from his Judy.

"In memory of a happy summer."

My-my, she's a fine looking woman too, ain't she?

Yeah, let's see.

"With love to a natural man

Jack Darby.

"Who made a long winter seem short."

Well, you're quite the heart breaker, ain't you?

- Summer and winter. - I guess so.

Here's one from his poor old ma.

"To my pride and joy, John.

"The sun beam that shines in a mother's heart."

It's beautiful.

Aren't you ashamed?

Of what? I don't even know the woman.

It's a pretty contemptible skunk

who denies his mother, Darby.

Especially when she's so fond of you.

Here's his discharge papers.

"John Darby, captain

first Kentucky rifles."

Alright, captain, let's march.

Saddle his horse.

How do you spell your last name, Darby?

M-A-V-E-R-I-C-K.

That don't even make sense.

- She's here, sheriff. - Good. Bring her in.

Now, we'll get the straight of this.

Oh, Jack. Jack, my darlin'.

So, they finally got you.

Oh you poor, misguided, impetuous boy.

The name's Maverick, ma'am.

- M-A-V-E-- - How's that again, honey?

Oh-oh, of course.

Sheriff, I do declare that I have never seen this boy

before in my life.

Cindy, are tryin' to tell me this ain't Darby?

Certainly not.

I don't know who he is.

Well, you changed your tune quick enough, didn't ya?

Oh, heaven's to Betsy.

You see, darlin'.

It's just no good.

They got you dead to rights.

I am sorry if I failed you.

You did all you could.

You ain't gonna be cross with me now, are you, darlin?

Oh, he is too.

I know that look in his eye.

- Now see what you've done. - Ha-ha-ha.

Uh!

Informer, turncoat, traitor.

That's what I call positive identification.

Well, here you are, $600, cash in the barrel-head.

I'll take my piece of paper.

Somehow, I just don't feel right about taking it.

- Oh, well. - Uh-uh-uh. Ha-ha-ha.

Goodnight, sheriff.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Hey, you ain't quittin' while you're winnin'.

Of course, I am.

Sit down and deal.

Now, see here my friend, if a man couldn't quit

till he was losing, very few men would play poker.

Ain't no slick-haired, cold-footed

quick-fingered card sharp steppin' outta no game

with more than $2600 of mostly my money.

Nonsense, you must learn to gamble for pleasure

never for profit.

Enjoy a game of cards for it's relaxation.

It's pleasant associations.

Never play to win.

I don't play to lose, mister.

And I suppose you just sit down and deal

before I nail your yellow hide to the wall.

I hate to break up the game, gentlemen.

But, if you would stand clear

until I get out that door with my winnings.

And now, sir, if you would just step back.

Do you think you can make that door

in just three steps, mister?

Cause that's all you got.

Just three steps.

And I'll kill you.'

That's one.

That's two.

You can still start backing up.

So, can you, my friend.

No, I don't suppose you can.

Not now. Not in front of all these people.

Sad, the situations we find ourselves in.

Just for the lack of common courtesy.

Now you've done it you've killed a Plummer boy.

- Good riddance too. - It was self defense.

Pure and simple.

It'll make no difference when the Plummer's get the story.

You better get yourself outta here, big and pronto.

With pleasure, after I retrieve my winnings.

You sir, would you pass the hat?

Uh, Cindy, would you run to my hotel

and start packing my things?

No time for that now, we'll have to leave just as we are.

We?

- For sure, I'm going with you. - Sorry.

I told the sheriff a fib for you.

And he finds out he's got the wrong man in that jail--

You have a point there, you will be going with me.

Here's your winnings, mister.

But if you wanna spend em'

you better grab yourself a large head start.

Thank you, sir.

Do you have writing materials here?

Sure, paper and pencil. What for?

I'd like to leave a note for the sheriff.

Don't bother, I'll tell him it wasn't your fault.

Oh, just the same I feel I owe him an explanation.

Alright, you're wastin' precious time.

My dear...

What do you got to say about this?

"My dear, sheriff.

"The prisoner you're holding in jail, a Gentleman Jack Darby

"is not Gentleman Jack Darby at all.

"But a man named Maverick."

"The girl who identified him is as you know"

"a personal friend of Gentleman Jack Darby."

"And for that reason, she is now"

"with yours truly Gentleman Jack Darby."

Well, isn't that what I told you?

Just read that PS.

"PS, $600 you advanced to me is quite safe and I will see

"that you are repaid at my earliest convenience."

Sounds fair.

Now, this ain't my first day in office Darby.

I figure this friend of yours is sorry for what he did to you

and this is his way of makin' up for it, but it won't work.

You're stayin' right here till that agent

from the surety company gets here.

But, that could take days.

In the meantime Darby's getting away.

Aren't you even gonna go after him?

Don't have to. In the first place he ain't Darby.

In the second place he happened killed

one of Plummer boys before leavin' town.

The rest of the Plummer's will take care of him.

But, you can't let him do that, sheriff.

After all, you've got an investment to protect. $600.

Oh, I'm protectin' my investment alright.

By hangin' on to you, Darby.

Well, howdy boys.

Oh, I was plumb sorry to hear about Little Jeb.

We just bet your are, sheriff.

Happen you'd been on the job, he wouldn't be dead no how.

So we just dropped by to tell you.

if that pink-eyed, sheep-headed, shrink-waisted

killer gets away from us.

We're comin' back for you, sheriff.

So, now we I told you.

Sheriff, just came over the telegraph.

- But you ain't gonna like it. - Let me see it.

Well, if that ain't destroyed or bust anybody's hump.

Darby.

Take a look at this.

"Bank teller confessed

"to embezzlement three weeks ago.

"Darby cleared, reward rescinded."

Thank you for your cooperation. Missouri surety company.

Well, what do you know, he was innocent.

Innocent? Now, you look here.

Between the two of you, you took $600

away from me for nothin.

You call that innocent?

- Between the two of us? - Sure.

Everything is clear to me, now.

He takes my $600 to play poker with.

Bills it up to $2600 and then skips town.

Now, I'm supposed to let you go.

So, you can catch up with him and split the profits.

Well you're stayin' put until I get my $600 back.

You're right about one thing, sheriff.

I do wanna catch up.

But about that money he won at poker

I figure uh, I earned it.

Right here, in your jail.

So, I'll tell you what I'll do.

You let me go, I'll give you $600 back right now.

And don't worry, I'll get it back from Darby.

You'll pay it back? With what?

I always keep a little mad money

tucked in the linen of my coat, sheriff.

And I'm mad.

Say have you got change for a $1,000 bill?

- It is $1,000 bill. - Yeah.

Well, now I think I can arrange to have that changed

at the bank in a jiffy, yes sir.

Oh, here, let me unlock this door Mr. Maverick.

Now, back to Maverick

Take my word, Mister.

You'd be better off going just

the opposite way from what he took.

Ain't nothin' between here and Deadwood

but three days ride four Plummer boys

and 3,000 unfriendly Injuns.

Are you sure you wanna go after him?

Yep, I'm sure.

Smell that food a mile away, Maverick.

And these boots of yours are killing me.

Good, that's what I've been wanting to do.

Oh, I know.

I'm afraid I owe you an apology.

That's not all you owe me, Darby.

- Oh how's that? - $2600.

That's how much you made in the time I spent in jail.

I want half.

If you weren't holding that gun on me, I'd want all.

Well, now I'm sorry but I'm afraid

every penny of that money has already been promised.

Actually, I'm still 2400 short.

You see, I'm tryin to raise and even 5000.'

Oh, but you mustn't concern yourself with that.

I'll manage to raise it somehow once I reach Deadwood.

I thought you'd be there by now.

How'd you get behind me?

Well, I lost my horse.

It seems there are four brothers

who are even more annoyed with me than you are.

They nearly caught up with me last night

when I was sleeping.

Had to crawl off through the brush.

Had to leave my horse behind.

Now, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take yours.

[Bart] Tell me your secret, Darby.

How do you go through all this and stay so neat?

- You gonna kill me? - Kill you?

Well, certainly not. We're friends.

Now, can I trouble you to raise your hands?

Have to search you for concealed weapons.

- You know. - Of course, help yourself.

What's this?

Four hundred dollars?

You told me you only had 12.

I'm just no good, I guess.

We'll just add that to what I already owe you.

After all, it'll just go to waste

out here in the wilderness.

I can be put it to good use in Deadwood.

Of course, I'll give you a strict

accounting of your profits once you get there.

Uh, try to think of it this way

your money will be working for you.

Oh, wouldn't have it any other way.

Now, if you just sit down and make yourself comfortable.

There by that tree over there

and clasp your hands behind it.

You gonna tie me up?

Well, I'll be leaving you a rifle.

I wouldn't want you to use it on me.

Well that's very good of you

I always feel a lot safer standing' off Indians

when I'm tied to a tree.

Will you stop worrying?

I'm taking care of everything.

Believe me, you'd be much safer here

than you would be with me.

Do you have to wear those feathers in your hair?

Didn't have time to change.

Had to leave Creston City all of a sudden.

- You and Darby? - Yes.

Now, hold still, I'll cut you loose.

Is this what he meant?

That he was taking care of everything?

Jack's a real gentlemen.

You didn't think he'd leave you out here all by yourself

all tied and helpless, not him.

And he left you here to protect me.

Well now, doesn't that work two ways.

He told me to stay close to you

and you'd be sure to get me back to Creston city.

- Safe and sound. - Ugh.

Oh, he did, did he?

Well, it happens I'm goin' the other way.

After him? But you can't.

Not now.

It's so much closer to turn back

and it's very unsafe to go on.

Well, thanks for everything.

But, see I really don't think I owe you anything.

I'm not quite the gentleman that Jack is.

Now, if you wanna tag along with me I'm on my way to Deadwood.

But don't feel especially welcome.

I do declare

you're the most contemptible and disreputable man.

You're a bit of a mess yourself.

Oh, you-you carpet Bagger.

Whatever possessed a man like Jack Darby

to make friends with the likes of you.

Ma'am, I just don't know what I ever did to deserve it.

But, how bout yourself?

You must be a real good friend

bein' left out here in the middle of Indian country.

All alone except for the likes of me.

Oh, how could you ever understand him?

Why, that boy is in real danger

what with them Plummer's are chasin' after him.

When they got our horses, he simply

flat out refused to take me any further.

He was thinkin' of me, first and foremost.

Did you really think I'd let you drive me back to Crescent City?

For your own good.

If you weren't such a stubborn pig-headed mule--

It's white men with extra horses.

- Hey-- - Shush, don't make a sound.

Them's our horses and that's Plummer boys.

What difference does that make? They're not lookin' for me.

They don't know who they're lookin' for.

They never saw Jack Darby.

All they know is he's a gambling kinda man

sort of like yourself.

And that he's travelin' with me.

They sure enough know who I am.

- So, he's countin' on that too? - Oh, yes.

But he was thinkin' that if they caught up with us

I could tell 'em who you really are.

Maybe they wouldn't believe me, Jack said.

But at least they wouldn't kill you

till they got us back to Crescent city to make sure.

He was willin' to gamble on that.

- He was willin' to gamble? - Uh-huh.

Of course it sounded lot's better the way he said it.

But I've been thinkin' it over myself.

And I think they'll kill ya.

You wouldn't be telling me that to keep me from gettin' a horse.

Oh, what do you take me for?

- Fibber? - Oh, no, ma'am.

Your trouble is trippin' over the truth.

Hey, over here!

Well, smarty.

Hold your fire, boys, I'm not the one you're after.

It's him, alright. I've seen the girl.

Let's go get him.

Alvi, you work around behind him.

Clem, you move in.

Luke... you and me will cover Clem.

Jack had it all figured out, huh?

I don't blame you for being mad.

I'm beginnin' to lose confidence in that boy, myself.

[Cindy] Now look you've gone and killed

the Plummer boy yourself.

Try talkin' your way outta that.

Ah, the gun's jammed.

Looks like they left your horses behind.

[Cindy] Well, let's go get 'em.

If I know the Sioux, they'll be back to get them.

Then they'll look for the two riders that belong to 'em.

I guess I know the Sioux.

We'd better start running, Cindy.

Going that way.

And we're gonna keep runnin' till we drop

or they catch up with us, do you understand?

Yeah.

Alright, now let's go, and you stay right close behind me.

Okay.

What are they sayin'? Do you know?

No.

Looks like one of 'em is gettin' hungry.

Keeps rubbin' his stomach.

I think he's tryin' to talk the other one

into stoppin' here for supper.

Yeah, that's what it is.

They're tying up the horses.

They'll probably sleep out here too.

Now, what are they up to?

I don't know.

But, I think they're talkin' about girls.

Indians?

I thought all they ever did was fight and hunt.

Well, some of them hunt for girls.

Well... like I always say.

East or west, folks is folks.

True. And like I always say, it takes all kinds.

Like your friend, gentleman Jack, for instance.

Him? He no friend of mine. Not now.

How'd you get mixed up with him in the first place?

It's a long story.

Well we've got time.

I want 'em to get to sleep before I try for those horses.

Well, I never told you this, but...

...I come from the south.

No.

Louisiana.

New Orleans.

Come from a family one quite poor enough

for rich folks to ignore.

Just poor enough for 'em to look down their noses at us.

Well, sir, I come west.

And went to work in a dance saloon.

For just one reason, to make money.

Are there other reasons?

Well, I needed that money for somethin'.

Picturin' myself goin' back there in style

and seein' all them rich folks eyes, bug out.

Their eyes would really bug out if they could see you now.

Not the same way. No, sir.

Dreamin' about goin' to that cotillion ball all dolled up

and fit to kill.

I'd be wearin' a diamond tiara

and a white silk dress and a lorgnette.

- You can use that? - No, indeed.

But you can give snootier looks through a lorgnette

than any other way.

Looks like you've given this a lot of thought.

You bet I have.

I'll be needin' me a big black buggy with red wheels

and four snow white horses to pull me up to that door.

Not two, but four.

Well sir, I got the whole thing calculated

down to the last penny.

I'll be needin' just $4,975 to get me to that ball.

Cindy wouldn't be short for Cinderella would it?

Think I'm sorta silly, don't you?

- Nope. - Maybe, I am.

All the same, what I've been aimin' for

is even 5000 dollars.

5000? That's the amount that Darby wants.

- Is that the connection? - Yes.

You see, I've been working in the silver slip saloon now

for most of three years, savin' my money.

Still a long way from that $5000.

About half way matter of fact.

Then Jack came along

He showed me how I could double that money

in less than 30 days.

Oh, don't tell me by giving him the money.

To invest in sure fine mining stock.

Of course he's gonna make a profit too.

But he promised to give me that money in time

to go the cotillion ball this year.

That's next month.

Don't look like I'll ever make it now.

What happened to the money?

Oh, Jack had a terrible string of bad luck.

Them smart stock brokers took him for every penny.

No matter what you think about Jack though

he's a real gentleman.

Why, he's still working to raise that 5000 dollars.

- The worst way. - Oh, he sure is.

He feels like he owes me that money.

Not just 2400 he took off me.

The full 5000, like he promised.

If there's one thing I learned about Jack

he would cheat you out of anythin' he can owe you.

Well, I reckon there's just one, gentleman Jack Darby.

No, not exactly, there are two.

The other one is named Dandy Jim Buckley.

- Who's he? - Never mind.

We got enough trouble with just one of 'em.

Yeah, reckon the two of us wouldn't be out here

if it weren't for him.

And that's the only nice thing he ever did for me.

Say now.

Guess I was wrong about you.

I'd just bet you're from the south.

Texas, ma'am.

That's the right side, sure enough.

Bart?

Do you think we'll ever get outta here?

I don't know.

But if we do, I'll help you get to that ball

one way or another.

Hmm, just in case we don't...

...thanks for sayin' so.

Welcome, Cindy.

I'd like to give you a proper thanks.

I'd like to give you a proper welcome.

Now, back to "Maverick."

Cindy, get out! Take the horses!

[Bart] Darby is here.

[Cindy] Where?

[Bart] That's my horse.

Bart, you going to kill him?

Why should I? I like that horse.

You know who I mean.

Well no, Cindy, not if I can help it.

- Maybe if I talked to-- - Uh-huh.

Uh-uh, he talked you out of 2400, remember?

He's only into me for a 1 000 cash.

Plus what he owes me for a night in jail.

One horse.

Couple of days, fightin' of the Sioux and the Plummers.

No honey, this time I'll do the talking.

Bart.

He's awful slick' and awful quick.

You best be careful, hear?

Sure.

You ride on to livery stable

and try to unload these plugs for whatever price you can get.

I'll see you later at the hotel.

Bart.

Don't be long now.

You're takin' me to that ball, remember?

That's a date.

I'll raise uh...

...two hundred.

Well, gentlemen if I take this one

I'll have my 5000 and then some.

How about it? Anybody, care to place a little side bet

that I don't walk away from this hand

twice as rich as when I sat down?

I'll take the bet, Darby.

Maverick.

You couldn't have turned up at a better time, partner.

What'd I tell you? Your money has been at work, for you.

While we've doubled your investment.

We've done better than that.

Oh...

...then I presume that

you'll be taking charge of our funds for a little while?

From now on.

You see, I'm representing Cindy's investment too.

She's here?

No thanks to you. Now, play your hand out, Darby.

Well, sir, I'm afraid you'll have to pay to see my cards.

You're too sure of yourself, friend.

Well, you're a very lucky man, Maverick.

Uh-uh, Darby.

Hat full of money in the hand, is worth two in the face.

I'll take it in bills.

Well, if it'll save time I'll be very happy

to give you my personal draft.

Cash out, partner.

You're a most distrustful man.

Yeah.

- No trouble? - No trouble at all.

Hold it right there, mister.

You're gonna let that female go.

We ain't got no call to be killing her.

- Now, get outta here. - No, Bart, no.

Now, listen, honey, if there's someway I could use you

I would, but there isn't.

Get outta here!

Hey.

Wouldn't intrude on your fight for the world Maverick

but these... gentleman are after me.

Thanks, all the same Darby.

But I killed one of 'em too.

[Cindy] Jack! Jack darling. Jack!

Jack! Jack darlin'.

Don't die! Don't die, sweetheart.

Maverick, I always pay my debts.

That's why they call me...

...Gentleman Jack.

Get a doctor, quick.

- Where can I get a doctor? - Just around the corner.

Alright, where is he? Where are they?

Ridin' that way, double.

But, don't worry, he don't need no doctor.

Yeah, but he will.

Where can I buy a horse?

Uh, I mean, who will lend me a horse?

It's all spent.

So, I see.

Don't you worry, I'll get it back again.

So will I.

Hello.

Glad to be with you again.

In next week's story we fight bandits, the desert...

...and a 1100 years of British tradition

all wrapped up in a Wyoming cattle family called

the house of Belcastle.

Come on, Maybrook.

There's nothing you can do for him.

Let him go.

Good show.

[Bret] Perk Joan Elan, plays Lady Ellen.

Talking to a marquis.

What do I call him?

Most people say, "Lord Belcastle"

or "My Lord".

I better call him Lord Belcastle

the other sounds like swearing.

We certainly couldn't have that, could we?

The one thing that has stayed me through every crises

is the comforting knowledge

that nothing is ever so bad that it couldn't be worse.

[Bret] Reginald Owen, outdoes himself as Lord Belcastle.

[Belcastle] Marquis Belcastle, Viscount Darrow.

Baron of Lessingham-Burnie

and fellow of the royal historical society.

- I say, Maybrook... What one? - No. Maverick.

His name's not Maybrook, father, it's Maverick.

Tosh.

There's no such name as Maverick.

I'm declaring martial law.

Huh, I'm afraid you've got yourself

a sticky wicket, my boy.

There are still three of us...

...and only one of you.

There are two of us, Lord Belcastle.

[Bret] I think you like the blend of romance

comedy and action in this one.

It's called "The Belcastle Brand."

[Bret] See you here next week.
