0:01:02 > 0:01:07- WOMEN: Oh! - Better get used to it. It isn't half as bad those six guns in Texas.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11The worst part for you will be picking up a magazine and seeing US modelling all the new clothes!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15From now on, all I wanna be is a model wife.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Where is this cattle king with a pastureful of steaks? I'm hungry.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22From her that's a 64 question.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- YA-HOO!- Sounds like he's bringing the steaks in on the hoof.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28# Texas spurs and cockle birds
0:01:28 > 0:01:32# And bucking broncs and prairies
0:01:32 > 0:01:35# A pied-faced roan
0:01:35 > 0:01:38# A campfire home
0:01:38 > 0:01:43# Where the owls sing like canaries! #
0:01:43 > 0:01:47LOUD LAUGHTER
0:01:47 > 0:01:49YAHOO!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Litter-bug!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Hello, darlin'! How are you?
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Hi there, everybody! Well, hello, Eagle Feather. How's the ol' round-up coming?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01It's not Eagle Feather and you're not at your ranch.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Eh? Oh, sorry, Eagle Feather.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Well, whaddya know? A party going on, huh?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Let's have some... C'mon!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Cigarette?- No, thanks.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I was afraid you wouldn't come. I have a table over here.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Thank you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Here you are, Tex, your tickets.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Tickets? Oh, railroad tickets.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Anybody like some nice, fresh railroad tickets?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Please, Tex.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37All right! Come on, let's dance, huh? Come on, honey.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42That's why I called you. He must be stopped from marrying that girl.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You know, YOU divorced HIM.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- If you're playing by old rules, you're not supposed to be jealous. - I'm not!
0:02:48 > 0:02:52She's after his money and I won't let him make a fool of himself.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53You've got to help me.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Miss Drake, how about a picture? - Pictures?- Sorry, Four-eyes. No pictures.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03It's a new one when SHE turns us down.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You overestimate me, Mrs Irwin.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I'd be glad to help if it were a simple matter, say, a murder maniac.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13But marital troubles? Frankly, I haven't the courage.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Then I'll have to find someone who HAS.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31You should know better than to drink so much.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34It's not the liquor. My leg's been hurting.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It's like I've been hit by a rattlesnake!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Come on, a little fresh air will fix that.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, I need a doctor.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Hey, what's the matter, Tex?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49EVERYONE TALKS AT ONCE
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Sorry, pard.- That's all right.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Tex, pull yourself together!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I tell you, I've been hit by a rattler.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Hey! Look out for that rattler!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Someone get me a knife, will you? I'll take care of it myself.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Is he stiff? Whoopee!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12LOUD LAUGHTER
0:04:12 > 0:04:15All right, all right. Please. Don't get excited.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19The Americans have got a couple of drinks too much. That's all.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Get him an ambulance!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27He's not drunk. He's dead! Apparently, he WAS bitten by a rattlesnake!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29GUESTS: A rattlesnake!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33See...if it's a pink one about that long,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35he's MY snake!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- BALLOON POPS - Oh!
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Please give me Suicide... No, no, give me Homicide, please, please.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52TELEPHONE RINGS
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Bates. Homicide.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Yeah? You don't say?!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Oh, sure(!)
0:05:03 > 0:05:06We'll be right over.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Rattlesnakes!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Who does he think he's kidding? - What's that?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Some wise guy trying to kid the department.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Trying to tell me somebody just kicked off from a snake bite over at the Flamingo Club.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- We better check on it.- Oh, Chief!
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- I said we'd check it.- OK, but you're gonna feel awful foolish!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Oh, Doc...what's all this talk about a rattlesnake?
0:05:29 > 0:05:35It's true. I've seen 'em shot, strangled and stabbed, but a rattlesnake in a nightclub...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37We searched the whole place.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Every corner, but no snakes.- The actual snakebite might've happened any time in the last two hours.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45He'd been drinking. Probably didn't notice when it hit him.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49His lawyer said the victim was carrying more than 3,000 in 100 bills in his wallet.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- It was empty when it was picked up. - Who found it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53A friend of yours - the Falcon.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- The Falcon? Where is he? - Inside, interviewing the witnesses.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Come on.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- Get the name and address of everyone in the joint and make sure that nobody leaves.- OK, Chief.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Good evening, Timothy.- Hello. - Let me bring you up to date.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11This is Mrs Irwin. Formerly married to the murdered man.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And this is Vanessa Drake - Tex Irwin's fiancee.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16She was dancing with him when he collapsed.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17These are the dead man's effects.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Do you mind if I conduct my own investigation?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Certainly not, we have the same interests at heart.- Thank you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So you were dancing with him. Let's hear your story.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Well, I... I didn't think much at first.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32You see, he...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34he liked to drink.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- And... And...- Inspector, perhaps you could question Miss Drake later.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh yes, any time. Any time at all.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Who are you?- See what happens when you won't let me introduce you?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Stephen Hayden.- Mr Irwin's attorney.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, Hayden. I'm sorry, I didn't recognise you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It's perfectly all right, Mr Hayden, if you'll be responsible.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Thank you. I'll get your coat.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Mrs Irwin, how did you know your ex-husband was gonna be here tonight?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Becoming an ex-husband doesn't make a man change his habits.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04He often came here when he was in town.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07That doesn't answer my question. How did you happen to come here?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09She had an appointment with me.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Is that so? That reminds me, what were YOU doing here?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13I had an appointment with HER.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- I'll get to you later. Now then, did you see your ex-husband - talk with him?- No, I didn't.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24- But that's why you came here tonight, isn't it? You knew he'd be here. You had some reason.- Certainly not.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Donovan wants you right away. - Right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31He's already confessed. He admits the snake was his.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Oh, ask him, ask anybody. It's a free country.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38A man is entitled to as many snakes as he can support. Hey, let go of me!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Yes, Inspector?
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Why aren't you on the door? - Mr Lawrence said you wanted to see me.- Oh, he did?!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Check his apartment, check his club,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- check all his girlfriends' apartments.- Check!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Thank you.- Yes, ma'am and I wish both of you all the happiness there is.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- BOTH of us?- Good evening, darling.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I was afraid you might have been, er...detained.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Shall I make up your berths?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I'll ring for you.- Yes, sir.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19I think you'd better explain.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's simple. I got my tickets at the same place and in the same way that you did.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It was my ticket. It was bought for me.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I had to get away and I didn't have the money.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Had to? Why?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I couldn't stand all those questions about...about Tex.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Donovan does get a bit rough sometimes.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42He won't find out anything. He can't.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The real answer's at the ranch. I'm sure it is.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I agree. I had the same idea. That's why I took the other ticket.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51You're working with Inspector Donovan, aren't you?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Don't ever let Donovan hear you say that.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57We've been on opposite sides of the fence for years.
0:08:57 > 0:09:03- Well, in that case, I've had such a trying day, if you don't mind... - But I DO mind!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm trying to help you...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09and believe me, you need help whether you know it or not.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I suppose you're right.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16They're all against me - Hayden, every one of them.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18And they tried to stop your marriage.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21They just didn't take a liking to me, that's all.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I'll admit I've kicked around a lot.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Showgirl, model, but that was an accident.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29The agencies decided I was photogenic.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31The answer to a photographer's prayer.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34They say you changed your personality with each dress.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40And I hated it. It was always someone else's dress, someone else's personality.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44When I met Tex, I was out near his ranch on a vacation.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48My clothes were a mess and I had a disposition to match. But they were my own.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- And he loved them. - And YOU loved HIM.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Yes, and I never want to go back East again.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00It won't be the same on the ranch but...at least I won't feel so lost and alone.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I suppose you'll stay at the ranch.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Mrs Irwin said Tex has put it in your name for a wedding present.- I don't know.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10He said something about it but I don't remember just what it was.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Did you ring?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Yes, get me a lower, will you?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- Did you say a "lawyer", sir? - What's the matter? Haven't you got any?
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Yes, sir. Only they don't usually bust up till we get to Mingo Junction.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Good night, darling.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Thank you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I thank you, sir.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Is there something wrong with me?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Not a curve out of place.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Friends of the Greeter's Club. No matter where you go, they meet every train.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13This is as far as I go without a compass. Where is this ranch?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Just five miles beyond civilisation.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Oh.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25Even that isn't far enough. It seems they still have planes and landing fields and things.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Chalk one up for the amateur detective. You sure had me fooled.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Believe me,- I- didn't send for them.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Congratulations, Timothy.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I see the department finally gave you a vacation.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Just long enough to take Miss Drake back.- Sounds serious!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44No, just her fiancee's been murdered. 3,000 is missing
0:11:44 > 0:11:49and she skips the state on a stolen ticket. Not serious. But you know how the DA is. Just a whim.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Yeah, whim, wham, clink! HE WHISTLES
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You made a lot of trouble. I told the Inspector I'd be responsible for you.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02I don't like to bring up technicalities, but aren't extradition papers customary?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04That's been taken care of.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06If it isn't too much trouble, Miss Drake would like to see them.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08She'll see them the minute they get here.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09We're in no hurry.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11CLATTER OF HOOVES
0:12:16 > 0:12:17That's our taxi, isn't it?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Tex's idea. He always believed in greeting a guest in Western style.
0:12:22 > 0:12:28Well, Timothy, don't feel that your meeting us isn't appreciated, but we'll be getting along now.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Care to share the ride, Mr Hayden? - Oh, thank you.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You're forgetting something, aren't you?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- I don't think so. - I could be induced to forget about
0:12:36 > 0:12:40that other stolen railroad ticket if you insisted on inviting us along.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Oh. ..By all means.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46That's all potential evidence.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Well?! Get it aboard.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Hey, Shortie! Where do you want these?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- In the back.- Bates...
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Sorry, pard.- Bumping into you is getting to be a habit.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yes, isn't it?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Me for upstairs. Just like riding atop a Fifth Avenue bus!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20GUNFIRE
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Do they do this for all the tourists?- Only on payday.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30GUNFIRE CONTINUES
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Yippee!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59What's the matter with that man?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Dusty's a very good driver.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03From the Ben Hur School.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Oh-h-h-h...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21What's got into you guys up there?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm the only "you guys" up there!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32The cigars are on me, pardner.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Thanks, pardner.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Mr Hayden!- Marion!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Frankly, I've never been so happy to see anyone in my life.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Miss Colby, Mr Donovan. Mr Lawrence.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- How do you do?- How do you do? - And you know Miss Drake.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Quite well. ..What happened to your driver?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53That's what I'd like to know. He got left back at the station.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Some of the boys just staged a little reception for us.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And one of them was a 45-calibre comic.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- That might have hit any one of us. - Who'd have any reason to shoot at us?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I'll be able to answer that when I find out who killed Tex.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That may not be so easy to do.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18What makes you say that?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Things are different out here. - Yes, of course,
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- the wild and woolly West! - How are you going to manage? Think you can handle them?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well, they're the first horses I've seen in years, but I'll try.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Aren't you forgetting something?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40There does seem to be something missing. ..Oh, thank you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49A lot of them, aren't there?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Here, let me show you!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59First you take the reins and you...
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Are you sure you don't know anything about horses?
0:17:03 > 0:17:08There are three things one can never be sure about - horses, the weather and women.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Hmm! At least you might have put women first. ..Giddy up!
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Come on, boys!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25You're pretty young to have a town named after you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Colby was named after Dad. It was Uncle Tex's idea.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Uncle?- Courtesy uncle.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33He was Dad's partner. ..Come on, boys!
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- Do they own all this land? - Most of it. But to men like Tex and my father,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41their real holdings are in their partnership.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I don't think they even know how much they own -
0:17:43 > 0:17:46packing houses, franchises, contracts...
0:17:46 > 0:17:50And Dad's always said they ran more cattle than they could ever stop to count.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Tell me, is the Irwin home ranch really so valuable?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00That depends. To someone who's never owned a ranch, it might look like a fortune,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- but we'll let you judge for yourself when you get there.- I, er...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06hope it's a long way.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07It is.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Modest little shack, isn't it?!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Uncle Tex didn't go in for modesty, even in his women,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26or hadn't you noticed?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Hello there!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Place looks deserted.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37That's strange. There's usually half a dozen Indians around.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Indians?!- House servants. Wonderful but unpredictable.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Off to the hills you never know when.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45You mean we're stranded here without no cook?
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- Why don't you take dinner with us? I'll send a station wagon over. - We'd be delighted.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54It's been a long trip and we're all tired. Couldn't we make it some other time?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Yeah, make it half an hour!
0:18:56 > 0:18:57- We'll be ready!- Good.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Well, go on.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I bet somebody cut the wires.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31They have their own power plant. I'll turn it on.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- This place gives me the creeps. - RATTLING
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Rattlesnake!
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Where is it? - Over there where I was standing.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43RATTLING
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- There's a lamp.- Fine.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's following me around!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Oh, Chief! Chief!
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- There. Right back there. - Must have been a hearty jump.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yeah, I know.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Here it is.- Where?
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Right here.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10BALL RATTLES
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Put that thing away.
0:20:20 > 0:20:27- Hayden's sure taking long enough with those lights.- Bates, find out what happened to him.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Hey, the coach and horses are gone!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I just drove them round to the side.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Why didn't you turn on the lights? - We tried that, but it...
0:20:47 > 0:20:52We're short-handed. The boys are branding. When the Indians heard about Tex, they lit out.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54They think this place is bad medicine.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Them Indians are smart characters.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Inspector.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I thought you went to turn on the power.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I did. I came back through here and I found all this.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So, you just stopped to see if anything was missing.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16You didn't come across a deed signed by Tex Irwin, giving the ranch to Vanessa?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's not here now, if it ever was.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Who has the combination?- Why, - I- have, and Mr Irwin's partner, Dave Colby.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24It was locked when I went to town.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I found it exactly the way you see it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Maybe the Indians picked it before they scrammed.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31No, I doubt it. Although we have had some trouble with them.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37- This was Indian land and they've never admitted that anyone else has any right to it.- By the way,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39did you always go East with Mr Irwin?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Dusty was Tex's right-hand man. They often went on trips together.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46He took me along to handle the cattle shipment.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- At the Flamingo Club? - I only stopped in there to pick up my return ticket from Mr Hayden.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I don't know about you, but I have an invitation to dinner.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Me, too. At the Colbys'.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I hope they have one of them barbecues.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07COWBOYS: # But remember the Red River Valley
0:22:07 > 0:22:13# And the cowboy that loved you so true
0:22:15 > 0:22:20# Come and sit by my side if you love me... #
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Coffee, Dad?
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Yes, but not in one of those eye droppers! Bill?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I've got it, sir.
0:22:29 > 0:22:37# But remember the Red River Valley
0:22:37 > 0:22:42# And the cowboy that loved you so true... #
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Thank you, dear.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48You admit that you know how to open the safe?
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Also how to close it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I see Mr Hayden has brought you right up-to-date.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Taking a little too much for granted, aren't you?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I handle Mr Irwin's legal affairs, not Mr Colby's.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I'm going to check on everyone who knew Tex. Every move they made.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Go right ahead. I've nothing to hide. If you're trying to drag me into this, you'll have to get a new rope.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'm just doing my job.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Will you excuse me? - If I didn't, would it stop you?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Instantly.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Oh!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44You startled me.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I'm sorry.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Your father is quite a collector.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57When it comes to south-west Indians, there's no better.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I seem to have lost my touch.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Do you collect these, too?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Oh, sorry.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- I didn't mean to interrupt. - Not at all.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28As an old student of palmistry, I was just reading Miss Colby's hand.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I hope he told you to beware of a tall dark stranger.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Baggage checks, dated the day of Tex Irwin's death.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Quite a coincidence, isn't it?
0:24:43 > 0:24:44But just a coincidence.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Tex and my father both had some business to settle.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49We left long before anything happened.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51That can very easily be verified.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I think I'll have a talk with your father and Inspector Donovan.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Just a minute. I'd rather you wouldn't have the police in on this.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01They might not understand.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05We WERE with Tex in his hotel room, but he was all right when WE left him.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Then why not tell me the real reason for you going East?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Tex wired Dad he was getting married. Dad felt he ought to stop him.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17He's hot-headed, and, well, they had an argument and we left. Immediately.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Did you?!
0:25:19 > 0:25:21You believe me, don't you?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I'd like to.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Just, er, when did you leave his hotel?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29In time to catch the 9 o'clock plane.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34You should have left earlier. By 9 o'clock the poison had been in his system a full hour.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35< SCREAM
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Miss Drake, what's the matter?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Vanessa, what's wrong? - Somebody take care of her.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Here, let me see.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- A knife cut, huh?- Dad, have you got a handkerchief?- Here.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Is it very bad? No, I don't think so.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56It's right in the hairline, so it's hard to tell.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I'll take that. ..We'll check it for fingerprints.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- The handle seems a bit rough for fingerprints.- Maybe.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Did you see who did it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09No, I was just coming out.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12All I s-saw was the flash... of the blade.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14You'd better look after that cut.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Let's take you in the house.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Come out of there.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35What, me, Chief?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Get started. I want to know where everyone was.- When?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42What's up, Chief?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Pretty smart.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Everybody with an alibi, all paired up in couples like it was a waltz.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Looks as though the old homestead has taken on new life.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Thank you.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- How!- Very well, thank you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- How are you, Tony?- Fine, Mr Hayden.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Good.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26How did the Indians happen to come back?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Nobody ever knows what an Indian does or thinks.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Where are you going?
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Those are mine.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Just a minute.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Eagle Feather?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Eagle Feather!
0:27:57 > 0:28:02- Put those back where you got them! - This has always been my room, Miss Drake,
0:28:02 > 0:28:08- and I intend to keep it.- You gave up Tex and this house.- That can't be settled until the deed is found.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12This house is part of the estate. Mrs Irwin has a perfect right to be here.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Mrs Irwin,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17isn't that a blood stain?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21You didn't happen to visit the Colbys tonight, did you?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I don't know what you're trying to imply.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I scratched myself opening my trunk.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31End of round one.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Back to your corner.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Got a match?
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Seven...six...
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Good morning, gentlemen.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- How's the graveyard shift doing? - What do you mean, busting in here like this?!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I couldn't make out what you were saying out there.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04This is a private affair between Mr Colby and myself.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06A public affair. There's been a murder, remember?
0:30:06 > 0:30:11I'm only interested in settling the Irwin estate. I asked Mr Colby to come over.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- And of course you had to have him here in the middle of the night. - Yes. Any objections?
0:30:15 > 0:30:20- No.- Well, as long as he knows you're here, we might as well tell him the rest of it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:26Colby was Tex's partner. There are business affairs to be straightened out. They owned a packing company.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Control now goes to Colby. - That was the deal we made.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31If either party died, the other was to buy out his share.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- You can't expect to keep that a secret.- For a while, yes.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37The trouble is they fought all the time. Both tried to run the company.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42- People all know that. - And they like to talk. Gossip travels like wildfire round here.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46It'll look bad if it gets around that I'm taking over the company.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49That's why we tried to get together, privately.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Who is it?- Donovan.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57- There's a man who has no respect for privacy.- I hope he doesn't hear about this.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- Not unless you men object to poker. - Poker?!
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Come in.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Bet five.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Possible flush. King high.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22And another ace.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Thank you, gentlemen.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Who are you kidding? Three-handed poker in the middle of the night! What are YOU doing here?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Mr Colby is getting an Eastern slant on an old Western game.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Had enough, Colby?- Yes. Too much.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- Goodnight, Hayden.- Good night.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Inspector.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Hey, you had a full house.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49- Ah, a pinochle deck!- We always use a pinochle deck. Makes a faster game.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Yeah? Huh-h-h!
0:31:54 > 0:31:56You know,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59things aren't shaping up any too well for you, Mr Colby.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04If you don't tell me about your trip East, you may have to explain it to the police.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05I'll take that gamble.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Hey, Falcon, come here - quick!
0:32:21 > 0:32:23PEOPLE MURMUR >
0:32:25 > 0:32:28There it is! On YOUR door.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Do you know what that is? - Comanche scalp lock.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Grizzly little present, isn't it?
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Whom have I to thank?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- You can joke, but I know these Indians.- That ain't no scalp lock.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44That's hair off a human being.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Yeah, a death warning.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Ride him!
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Get on with it, cowboy!
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- I spent two hours interrogating them Indians.- What did they say?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Ug.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- Tom?- Good morning.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Tom, I've got to talk with you, but not here.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Will you come for a ride with me? - In these?!
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- It's important.- All right, but give me time to dig up some riding clothes.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I'll have Dusty saddle a horse for you.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37An old one.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26'I had to get away and I didn't have the money.'
0:34:29 > 0:34:32I'm not so sure Mr Lawrence can ride.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35That makes it even. Powder Keg hasn't been ridden much either.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Look out! Look out!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Whoa! Here you are, Miss Drake. - Thank you, Dusty.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Is this my horse?- All set.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- Hey, you're on the wrong side. - But on the right horse.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57HORSE WHINNIES
0:35:02 > 0:35:06You shouldn't have horses like that around. Somebody might get hurt.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23This is the first time I've ever believed anyone's duplicity.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26You really do change character with your clothes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29If I've changed, it isn't because of my clothes. I need help.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31You've needed that for some time.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34But in this outfit, you're frank enough to ask for it.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37I thought I'd better tell you, when I unpacked my riding things,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39I found a stack of 100 bills.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41You should go riding more often.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Please, this is serious. I'm sure it's the same money that was taken from Tex's wallet.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Any idea how it got in your luggage? - My things were moved last night.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50There was plenty of opportunity.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Yes, I thought of that, too, when- I- saw them.- You saw them?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I checked all the rooms this morning. I hope you don't mind.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Of course not.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01As a matter of fact, that money turned up much sooner than I expected.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Confidentially, I think someone's getting worried.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Any ideas?- A few.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Tell me, you could have talked to me easily back at the house.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- You didn't really want to go riding. - Didn't I?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- I thought you were being honest. - I am.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29HORSE WHINNIES >
0:36:29 > 0:36:32We seem to have company.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35You wait here. I'll take care of the introductions.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Hello there.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Good Lawrence, Mr morning. I mean..!
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Good snooping, Miss Colby.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I just stopped to fix my saddle. My horse broke the girth.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59You fixed it very quickly.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02And you're the man who hasn't seen a horse in years.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Maybe we'd better start over.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Did I frighten her?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Nothing's more frightening to a beautiful woman than another beautiful woman.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Well, you start over, Mr Lawrence, where most men stop.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30You seem to go riding alone quite a bit.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Don't you get lonely?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Every now and then. Why?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Such desolate country.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39Just miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45That's the trouble with you nightclub frontiersmen. If you don't see a floor show, you don't see anything.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- Oh, I don't know. - I'm speaking about the scenery.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52See those rocks over there?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Depressing. They look like a graveyard.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59It's the Comanche burial ground. It's been there since Coronado's time.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Every stone has its legend or superstition.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05And the Indians still believe them, even today.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Did your father put you up to telling me this?
0:38:08 > 0:38:13- What d'you mean?- I found one of his Comanche scalp locks hanging on my door as a death warning.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Do you think that he...?!
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Perhaps you'd better tell him yourself!
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Aren't you forgetting something?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37RIFLESHOT
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Somebody been riding through a stream?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Is Mr Colby here?
0:40:01 > 0:40:04He's inside.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Someone to see you, Mr Colby.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- What's on your mind?- I don't know if Marion told you, but, er...
0:40:17 > 0:40:19I was out riding and somebody took a shot at me.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22It couldn't have been one of your men, could it?
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Might have. I'll promise you this - when I find out who did it, I'll fire him for missing.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Oh, I wouldn't be too hard on him.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31It was a good 100 yards and a moving target.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33For your information, I just asked my father.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35And he doesn't even own a Comanche scalp lock.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40Then I'll sell him this one at a bargain. It's only been worn once.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Well, that is from my collection all right, but it's not Comanche.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Mr Lawrence is slightly misinformed.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47He thinks Comanches use death warnings.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Don't they?- Never.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52The eastern tribes did, but not the south-west Indians.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54They based their attacks on surprise.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56The same approach someone's been using on me.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00CAR APPROACHES
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Uh-oh! I feel one of Donovan's meetings coming on.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Hello, Bob.- Hello, Dave. - They got you or you got him?
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I'm just keeping it legal.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22The Inspector wants you and Marion to up over the Irwin ranch.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23This afternoon at 3 o'clock.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Sure, I'll be there to help you out. - Thanks for the invitation, Timothy.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- I'll be there.- I was afraid of that.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Remember, 3 o'clock. - Yes, I heard you.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34See you later, Dave.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Well, I guess I'd better get going.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Next time you come over here accusing one of my men, you'd better bring the man with you.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I'll remember that.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- If Hayden's not here in two minutes you're gonna find him.- How?
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Very well, thanks.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- I was asked to be here at 3 o'clock. - We'd better get started, Inspector.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14All right.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16We're here to clear up an important point in the Irwin case.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Aren't you interested, Mrs Irwin?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Thank you.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24These papers are from Mr Irwin's safe.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I want you to pick out everything in his handwriting.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31I never saw his writing.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32Mrs Irwin and Miss Colby!
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Oh.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45RHYTHMIC DRUMBEAT
0:42:47 > 0:42:49What's that?
0:42:53 > 0:42:56BIG-BAND MUSIC
0:42:58 > 0:43:01# Texas spurs and cockle birds... #
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Why, it's Tex!
0:43:03 > 0:43:07# A pied-face roan, a campfire home
0:43:07 > 0:43:10# And owls sing like canaries!
0:43:10 > 0:43:13# Freezing lakes and rattlesnakes... #
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Stop it! Somebody, please stop it!
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Where is that coming from?
0:43:19 > 0:43:23It's only the phonograph. One of Tex's home recordings.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27If you'll be so kind, Mr Bates, you can turn it off at the remote-control box.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31# A pied-face roan, a campfire home
0:43:31 > 0:43:34# And owls sing like... #
0:43:38 > 0:43:40What I'd like to know is who turned it on.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43What difference does that make - let's get on with those papers.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12That's enough, Mrs Irwin.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14I'm sorry to have bothered the rest of you.
0:44:16 > 0:44:21I noticed that a number of the papers had been dog-eared, exactly the way Mrs Irwin picked out these.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Very neat, Timothy.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27I'm perfectly willing to admit that I went through those papers, but that does not prove anything.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29You knew Tex had signed over the ranch to Vanessa.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31And that very important paper is missing.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33- Well,- I- didn't take it.- Mr Colby?
0:44:33 > 0:44:37You saw Mrs Irwin yesterday. What time did she leave your ranch?
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Sometime in the afternoon, about 4 o'clock I'd say.
0:44:40 > 0:44:424 o'clock?
0:44:42 > 0:44:46You went to a lot of trouble to try to make us believe that you arrived a lot later in the evening. Why?
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- Well, I...- Because you went back to Colby's.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50You were there at the same time somebody tried to knife Miss Drake.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53- No, I'd already left!- You admit you know about the knifing?
0:44:53 > 0:44:55No, I didn't know. What I mean is...
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- I-I had been there earlier. - I won't need the rest of you.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05We'll be at the ranch.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Mrs Irwin, you've made a lot of moves. They're going to take a lot of explaining.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13Mrs Irwin, Mrs Irwin, come quick! Mr Hayden, he hurt!
0:45:20 > 0:45:23AGONISED GROANING
0:45:29 > 0:45:31Take it easy, Mr Hayden.
0:45:31 > 0:45:36If you have a first-aid kit for snake bites, you'd better get it!
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Look at his arm!
0:45:38 > 0:45:43- Yeah, two marks. The same way Tex Irwin got it.- Let me through.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Listen, listen.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Tell me what happened.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59I-I should have told you.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Last night at the club...
0:46:01 > 0:46:06he told me this before, before he...
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Well, we won't need any extradition papers on this one.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- Don't look at me. - I- had nothing to do with it!
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Lady, you're gonna do some tall talking to get out of this one.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34You had the most to gain with Tex out of the way.
0:46:34 > 0:46:39You knew the combination of the safe and for some reason, the Indians only came back when YOU showed up.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43It all adds up. ..Sheriff, you'd better take over.
0:46:43 > 0:46:44Let's go, sister.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00Thanks for your help. We solved this a lot quicker than I thought we would.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02- I don't think it's solved yet. - We've got the name...
0:47:57 > 0:48:00- He got away.- Maybe that's because he never left here.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03- I don't get you.- If I'm not mistaken, slapping a horse
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- to lead the pursuit in the wrong direction is an old Western trick. - Search the place!
0:48:22 > 0:48:25HENS SQUAWK
0:48:41 > 0:48:43There he is!
0:48:46 > 0:48:47Help, somebody!
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Wait a minute. Let go of that.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55One of Colby's men.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Hello, Red. How did YOU happen to miss?
0:48:57 > 0:48:59You'd better have a talk with Colby.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01- If he's been back East...- He was.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- What?- He was in Tex Irwin's hotel room the night before he died.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06What's the idea, holding out on me?
0:49:06 > 0:49:09- Well, you see, I... - Oh, I get it. His daughter.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Well, she's not going to stop me. ..Bates, bring him along.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34What's the trouble, Red?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36He's been playing Jesse James.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42What are they after this time, sheriff?
0:49:42 > 0:49:45- Red took a shot at Mr Lawrence. - I took your advice.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47You told me to bring the man in next time.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Well, Red, what's behind all this? I just let him in close
0:49:52 > 0:49:54trying to run him off.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58I guess we all figure in this. We weren't trying to kill anybody.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00You know how good Red is with a rifle.
0:50:00 > 0:50:05We just thought we'd back you up on account of what happened with Tex.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08- - You don't think- I- killed him? - We don't care if you did or not.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10We just know you're the boss, and the boss needed help.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16You all think I'm guilty?
0:50:16 > 0:50:19- That's why you're here.- That's right.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21Well, you're wrong!
0:50:21 > 0:50:24I have a notion to run you out of here!
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Easy, Dave. You're in a tight spot.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27Hayden's dead, too.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34I didn't kill either one of them.
0:50:34 > 0:50:35Tex was my partner.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Partner? You've been trying to get rid of him for five years.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41When Hayden found out you'd knocked off Tex, you murdered him, too.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Hope you don't mind.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52There's something fascinating about this room.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Wouldn't be Miss Drake's deed, would it?
0:50:56 > 0:50:58That's part of it.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00Maybe I can help you.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Thanks.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13You really believe Dad has it, don't you?
0:51:13 > 0:51:16Yes. Don't you?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Why no, of course I don't.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32Now I seem to have lost MY touch. Is there a key?
0:51:32 > 0:51:35- Yes, but it's never...- It is now.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39I'll see. Maybe it's in here.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Oh, I'm sorry. So clumsy of me!
0:52:05 > 0:52:08I just keep on doing it! I don't know what's the matter today.
0:52:11 > 0:52:15- What's going on in here?- That lance just fell down and broke the glass.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17- Put that down!- Certainly.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19Dad, it was an accident!
0:52:19 > 0:52:22I don't think anything's been damaged.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25- Indian medicine bag, huh? - Leave that alone!
0:52:28 > 0:52:33- Do I have to stand for this? - You do, Mr Colby.- A man should have rights in his own home.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39- What's that? - Should be the much-discussed deed.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41That belongs to Miss Drake.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44- It's yours all right.- Dad!
0:52:44 > 0:52:45Yes, I put it there.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47Tex didn't want her to have it.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50He found out she was playing him along but she was in love with some other man.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52- That's a lie! - Did he mention any names?
0:52:52 > 0:52:54I only wish he had.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59Well, here's a rarity in any collection.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04A ring with a bite to it.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Evidently, it holds more venom than three live ones.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09- So that's what happened to Tex! - And Hayden.
0:53:09 > 0:53:10And we thought it was rattlesnakes!
0:53:10 > 0:53:13Pretty clever. Who made that for you?
0:53:13 > 0:53:15One of Coronado's men.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Sheriff, pick him up as an accessory.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19He's been dead 400 years.
0:53:19 > 0:53:20Dead, huh? ..400?!
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Sure! Everybody knows that.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27That explains your trip east. You used this on Tex.
0:53:27 > 0:53:28That's where you're all wrong.
0:53:28 > 0:53:33- I was afraid somebody might try to get that ring and I had a duplicate made.- Yeah? Where is it?
0:53:33 > 0:53:34It was stolen from this room two months ago.
0:53:34 > 0:53:39- Why would anybody want to steal it? - It's a very valuable ring, far more valuable than it looks.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42That was made in the 16th century by one of Coronado's followers.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45The Indians around here make plenty of this stuff!
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Coronado brought the finest silversmiths to America with him.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50That's how the Indians first learned to work silver.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53Eagle Feather's ancestors got hold of that ring.
0:53:53 > 0:53:58- Probably as a bribe for information concerning the seven golden cities, which were...- All right.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02- How did YOU manage to get hold of it?- It took me 10 years, but I wanted it and I got it
0:54:02 > 0:54:04and it's never been out of that bag since then.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08Fast thinking, Colby, but I've been up against that duplicate alibi before.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Sheriff, you know what to do.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14Come along, Dave. ..Marion, you'd better ride into town with us.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29I know I shouldn't feel sorry for him, but I do.
0:54:29 > 0:54:30Oh, they'll never convict him.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34Colby was telling the truth. The real murderer has the other ring.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37What makes you so sure there IS another ring?
0:54:37 > 0:54:39Marion?
0:54:39 > 0:54:41Oh, I might have known.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50You're not going anywhere, sheriff.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56Take their guns.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01All the above and any future earnings to Vanessa Drake.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03All properly signed and witnessed.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05This must mean a great deal to you.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09The least I can do is thank you for everything you've done for me.
0:55:11 > 0:55:17You know, this is the first time I've seen you in a dress that really suits your personality.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20Sophisticated, dangerous.
0:55:20 > 0:55:21It isn't a dress.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Now why don't you tell me what you're really thinking?
0:55:23 > 0:55:27There's only one conclusion that makes sense.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29You killed Tex.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32- What possible reason would- I- have for killing him?
0:55:32 > 0:55:33We were going to be married.
0:55:37 > 0:55:39That's what puzzled me at first.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41But it's almost inescapable.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43The attempt on your life with that Indian dagger,
0:55:43 > 0:55:46those 100 bills you so conveniently found in your suitcase.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48You think I put them there?
0:55:48 > 0:55:51I'm sure of it.
0:55:51 > 0:55:52Not only that,
0:55:52 > 0:55:54you're the one who turned on that phonograph record.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56It's the only logical explanation.
0:55:58 > 0:56:04And the scalp lock you hung on my door, only an easterner could have been so wrong.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Hayden might have done it,
0:56:06 > 0:56:08but Hayden was eliminated.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11I should have known better than to try and fool you.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14Everything I did was to call attention to Colby and Mrs Irwin.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17I knew they were guilty. I knew you would go after them.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19May I have another light, please?
0:56:23 > 0:56:25I might believe that.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Thank you.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31There's another mistake you made.
0:56:31 > 0:56:35I thought it strange at the Flamingo Club when the most photographed girl in America
0:56:35 > 0:56:38wouldn't allow her picture to be taken with her bridegroom-to-be.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41You stopped them because you knew Tex was going to if you didn't.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43Whatever gave you that idea?
0:56:45 > 0:56:49Tex wasn't going to marry you. That's what Hayden tried to tell me before he died.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52But before Tex found out what you were really like, he'd signed over his ranch to you.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55You had to act quickly to keep him from changing that.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Part of what you say is true.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03Tex was never really in love with me.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05He still loved his former wife.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09He was only going to marry me out of spite because she left him.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13So you turned to someone else, too.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16- Dusty, if I'm not mistaken. - How could I help it?
0:57:16 > 0:57:18Dusty gave me attention.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20He really cared for me.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23There's no sense going into all that.
0:57:23 > 0:57:27Listen, I know all about you.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29But you don't really.
0:57:30 > 0:57:34If I didn't I would never have got this.
0:57:36 > 0:57:37Let go of her!
0:57:37 > 0:57:40You'd better put that away, Dusty. You're in enough trouble already.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42This lady friend of yours is a murderess.
0:57:42 > 0:57:44You see, that's what I've been telling you.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46They're all trying to turn things against me.
0:57:46 > 0:57:48Don't let her get you mixed up in this, Dusty.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50You were at that club, you saw what she did to Tex.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52That's what you'd like me to believe, isn't it?
0:57:52 > 0:57:54I've watched you all hound her.
0:57:54 > 0:57:58Well, I'll see she gets an even break. ..We're getting out of here.
0:57:58 > 0:58:01We can't leave him here. He'll send them after us.
0:58:01 > 0:58:03I've got a car out front.
0:58:03 > 0:58:04All right, Lawrence.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12I'm not afraid to stand trial, boys.
0:58:12 > 0:58:13You're only making matters worse for me.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16We don't see it that way, boss.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24Back inside. You heard me!
0:58:35 > 0:58:36Look!
0:58:41 > 0:58:44It's nothing. Just the ring they took as evidence.
0:58:44 > 0:58:45You got that one in your pocket.
0:58:49 > 0:58:51Now how do you suppose that got there?!
0:58:51 > 0:58:54That's what we've gotta find out. OK, boys?
0:58:54 > 0:58:57- Give 'em your guns. - Couple of you go round that way!
0:59:01 > 0:59:03- Get in there!- Dusty!
0:59:12 > 0:59:13Get in!
0:59:23 > 0:59:26Sheriff, I think Vanessa is the one you want.
