I'll see you tomorrow.
I want to get my dust
out of your safe.
Sure. Any time.
Happy all of their lives
Hello, Mack! How are you?
Hello, Mclver.
How are you?
If you be happy
Don't ever wed
Just stay a free man
I gotta go home, fellows.
Oh, no, Mack.
Come on.
No, I gotta go home.
I gotta go home.
Come on, Johnny.
Let him go.
You don't know
what you're missing, Mclver.
Don't ever wed
Till you are dead
If you be happy
Don't ever wed
Go away?
Leave Jacksonville? When?
Tomorrow, the day after,
as soon as we can.
But why this
sudden decision, George?
Nothing sudden. It's just
that I'm fed up with this hole.
It's a place
to strike it rich
and if you don't, you should
try your luck someplace else.
Luck doesn't depend
on a place.
George, can't you
be content here?
No, I can't.
Let's go in. You're upset.
Lucy, I'm going.
And you're going with me.
didn't you?
Yes.
Well, when?
Whenever you want.
Sunday, this Sunday.
Oh, no.
I'll have to make a dress.
Is a dress a marriage?
Lucy, when did you say?
Sunday?
As soon as
she can make a dress.
Hello, Logan.
Hello, Lucy.
Well, George, I'm off to
San Francisco in the morning,
I stopped by to have a
word with you in private.
Sure.
What's the matter, dear?
Nothing.
Is it true that you and George
Yes.
Oh, but why the haste?
George wants to go away.
But, dear...
Where are you to find material
for a dress in this camp?
Yes, and besides, I always said
that when my daughter got married,
she'd have the finest
wedding in the territory.
I'll even get the Governor
to come down.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't you go along
with Logan to San Francisco?
No.
Oh, but why not, dear?
There are any number
of French dressmakers there.
I ought to
knock your head off.
What's the matter?
You gave me your word
you'd quit poker.
Yes, Logan, I did.
I had every intention
of keeping it.
I suppose.
Yes.
Envy.
Envy of you, Logan.
That's no answer.
Maybe it's the only answer.
But don't worry,
I'll pay you back.
I don't care
about the money, George.
I do.
I'm pulling out, going
someplace else and make a strike.
Pulling out
and taking Lucy with you?
Lucy's my concern.
Not if you're going to make her
life a thing of running and hunting.
Does she concern you
that much?
Yes, she does.
I see.
Logan.
About San Francisco,
would you mind
having a woman on your hands?
Why, no.
I have to get a dress.
You'll be
in good company, Lucy.
I'm starting early,
I have to stop at Dance's.
Aren't you staying for supper?
I can't.
I have something to do.
Why, hello, stranger.
How much did you take off
Camrose last night?
About 1,500 in gold,
another 1,500 in a note.
I want it back.
You have a streak in you
about Camrose.
For me,
he's strictly a tinhorn.
Tinhorn or not,
I want the money back.
Look here, Logan,
my business is cards...
You do too well at it.
If that money's not
in Camrose's hands
by the time I get back
from San Francisco,
I'll come after you.
Where are you going?
Shut up!
What do you want? I thought
Logan Stuart's
leaving for San Francisco.
Well, come on in.
Where are you bound for
this time, Logan?
For San Francisco, to see
if I can borrow some money.
Are you in trouble, Logan?
The trouble is my business,
like young Asa here,
always outgrowing his pants.
Logan.
Well, the hound that rustles
always catches the rabbit.
And there are hounds always lean
and hungry from running too much.
Aimed at you, my boy.
I'm sure Logan didn't stop by
here to see you wash dishes.
Is she going to San Francisco
to borrow money, too?
Jealous?
Should I be?
No.
Logan, there's nothing
to delay us, is there?
Not a thing.
When's it going to be?
Just as soon as I get back.
In a couple of weeks.
What's that?
Down.
He had to kill something.
We'd better hide the saddles
and get out of here.
We'll have to make it
back on foot.
Another hard time
for you to remember.
That's what you wanted, wasn't it? Yes.
Then don't look at me
like that.
Lucy, this is no good.
You're lying.
Logan, I want to get things straight
between us before it's too late.
It's too late.
Maybe we can borrow a
couple of horses at Elkton.
Well, I'm sorry about
your wedding dress, Lucy.
Any dress will do.
What brought you back?
I ran into
a little trouble, Clench.
Mmm. The world is rocking
with trouble this morning.
Your world in particular,
Logan.
for murder.
Murder?
Mack Mclver.
They found him drowned
in the creek.
Looked like an accident
at first.
Linnet got to working on it.
Where is George?
him now up at Stutchell's.
And it grew on me that Camrose
was tampering with the dust
the boys left
with the company.
He was losing a lot of money
at poker...
That's hearsay,
Johnny.
What's wrong with hearsay
if it's true?
Johnny,
what have I got here?
A silver dollar.
Are you certain of it?
Dead certain.
Howison, what does it
look like to you?
You're was time, Hi.
It's a plain old U.S. dollar.
Well, you're mistaken.
It's a Mexican dollar.
You see, Johnny? What you don't see
yourself, you can't swear to be true.
You can't always swear
that what you do see is true.
Well, anyway, Camrose was
losing a lot of money at poker...
Hearsay, Johnny.
You're trying a man
for his life.
Life is precious
to all of you, isn't it?
Well, it's precious
to George Camrose.
Life was good to Mclver, too,
and it was took from him.
Was it? Well, that's what
we're here to find out.
A murder trial calls for a proper
judge and jury, doesn't it, Jonas?
They understand that.
Course we do.
Get on with it.
Lestrade.
Lestrade, did Camrose
play poker with you?
Frequently.
Did he lose money?
Considerable.
How much would you say
he lost?
In the course of a year,
maybe $5,000.
Where did you get it from?
I won't say.
You've gotta say.
You can't compel an accused
man to answer questions, Johnny.
That's the law.
If a man's innocent, why should
he be afraid to answer questions?
Linnet,
did you ever see Camrose take
pokes out of the office safe
and pour dust
from one to the other?
Yes.
When?
It was the night before
Mclver was found in the creek.
Do you make a habit
of spying on people?
No, but I've got a habit
of observing people.
Is that all you have to do?
Well, Logan, you've got
a big store and no time,
and I've got a little store
and lots of time.
Order! Order!
Get on with it, Johnny.
All right.
Now, then,
Mclver came into town.
The next morning, he was found
dead with his face in the creek.
We didn't find any dust on
him, but we did find this,
a receipt that Camrose
gave Mack for his dust.
