Ride a Crooked Trail Page #5

This guy, Maybe, where

did he learn to shoot?

In a room.

Like you said, you can

learn a lot in a room.

Joe Maybe learned to steal

gold from mined miners.

Then he learned how

to rob a bank.

Too bad he did not have someone

like Judge Kyle around...

to tell her that this was bad.

A feather.

What happened to Joe Maybe?

He knew a beautiful girl.

The girl of another kind.

And met cool people.

It was confusing inside.

How to try to be

someone he was not?

More or less.

It's getting late.

Tessa will be worried about us.

You're going to break your back,

to sleep in the tub again.

Jimmy, why are not

you in school?

Because today is Saturday!

The judge is?

Yeah, but you know he does not

like dogs in the courtroom.

But this is my dog.

"That makes a difference, does not it?"

Jimmy?

He's getting ready to kill.

Perhaps.

- What about your shoulder?

- Improved.

Give me a little gun shot,

so I use leather inside.

Will you like this death?

Not exactly.

No one in perfect

judgment likes to kill.

And the worst is when

you're someone you like.

I would not do such a thing.

You're seeing Paddlefoot over there.

Imagine that he is angry.

You would not want to kill him.

But it was necessary.

What is anger?

when he gets sick and

crazy in the head.

And bites everything you see.

And everything he bites, dies.

He's not crazy in the head.

And he's not going to kill

anyone unless it's necessary.

Maybe he's wrong

about this crime.

Imagine Paddlefoot

coming home one day.

With a piece of dog

collar in his mouth.

Maybe the collar

has a name on it.

And the one who wore

it never came again.

It would be reasonable to think

Paddlefoot killed the dog.

He did not kill! I swear not!

Maybe he's confused inside,

but he's not crazy!

He may be evil.

This happens to a man or a dog.

It's born wrong, it's created

wrong, it only learns things.

So you live badly.

"What if he tries to change?"

These kinds of people never change.

I think you're right.

If you're born in a saloon, it's bad!

Everyone says it's bad,

so there's nothing to do!

I did not mean it.

You know I did not want to!

Judge, the cattle are coming.

"Where are you now?"

They must be at the top of the

mountain, coming to town!

What are you doing here?

The cattle are coming.

The court is closed!

It's a great day, Officer.

It's going to make our

city the Westbound.

Yes, sir, go.

Let's hope that those who pass

by will do it silently...

especially cattle drivers.

I did not care about

that, Reverend.

I met many of them.

They're good people.

I've been looking all over for you.

Did you visit the judge?

Think you can sit

in this saddle?

Mr. Peter, from the harness,

made this special for you.

Where did you steal the horse?

It was a gift from Tessa!

You want to help bring the cattle?

I can?

Stay here, Paddlefoot! I'm coming back!

Wow, a saddle rifle, too!

Of course! A man can not

ride without his gun!

Besides, you need

to train a little!

It's many, Jimmy!

And they got in shape.

Can we talk to the guys

at the starting point?

Of course! Why not?

How are you, delegate?

I'm Sam Mason, the

head of the trail.

I brought in hundreds of Texas heads.

Can you handle them?

I can if we do not get in the way.

Take a few hundred to the city. You're going to

find yourself surrounded at the end of the road.

Leave the others in the

pasture and feed them slowly.

It's all right. Say "hello" to Teeler

and the boys as I pass the warning.

Son, go with the head of the trail.

I'll pick you up later.

We decided to ride with the pack.

Take many decisions!

Some not very wise!

You mean the bank?

Durgin and the others wanted to

assault him. I was against it.

When I make a deal, I keep it.

Is that why you're here?

"Why would there be another reason?"

He said there was a lot of

money to pay for the meat.

And we're here to help you collect!

Do you know Yuma and Clovis?

No, I do not know them.

Do they know I'm the boss?

Of course, delegate.

We understand everything!

We'll do what we say, Maybe!

Do whatever I tell you!

And forget the "Maybe".

Stop it, boy!

You'll all be able to run!

Go up and hold them!

What happened?

What happened to Jimmy?

He fell. It is going to be alright.

Bring some uky!

Whose?

I did not mean to run!

I did not mean to!

Do not worry, everything

will work out.

It was my fault.

I let him put the rope on the bullock,

and he took it out of the saddle.

I do not care how or why!

He's hurt!

It was nobody's fault.

I am fine.

It takes more than a

fall to bring it down.

- What are you doing?

- Treating him!

Treating him? Call the doctor.

I take care of him!

I do not need a doctor!

I'm going to get up!

You'll do as I say! Both!

Now I'm going to clean

everything that's hurt!

Can you get him to leave?

If you leave.

- You do not like us?

- You know that's not it.

So why do you want us to leave?

The judge will get you!

Keep an eye on him. Watching!

You're sure he killed Noonan!

He did not kill Noonan!

Joe was being chased.

They arrived at the edge

of the gorge and...

Stay here!

If anyone comes, let me know!

Stay there!

Surprise?

I am. Maybe he did not tell

me he was going to call him.

Did not call.

Where is the boy that

Maybe brought to the dog?

Why? "He saw me with the flock."

I do not want him to

tell that shooter judge!

He will not tell.

If you say so, I believe!

You and Maybe have a beautiful

family arrangement...

with children and everything.

Now it's all over!

She's crumpling my dress.

I buy a new one!

I buy a dozen clothes...

with a diamond brooch

to wear on each.

As soon as we rob the bank, you'll

be the woman best dressed...

in New Orleans!

When will it be? "Tonight."

- Did you talk to maybe about this?

- For what? I do not need it!

Clovis and Yuma opened

better coffers than this!

It only takes two

or three hours.

Make it clear that we

will not be interrupted.

I have some things to say to you.

Things have not worked

out the way they should.

Why not? The bank is full of

money, and we've seen him look!

It's not a good time!

Judge Kyle is suspicious!

He watches every step Joe takes!

If something happens to the bank

today, it will know the answer.

Only half answer!

He does not know I'm in town.

He knows Joe Maybe is in town.

Luck of the Judge! You'll

have to blow your shotgun.

What do you plan to do?

I guess Maybe will be dead,

if that's what you mean.

Hear! I want it to keep the judge

and Maybe occupied at night!

Keep them away from the bank.

Understood?

Got it.

As soon as Maybe hears the safe

explode, he'll ask questions.

Tell him I picked up the river

road and the meeting in Natchez!

What if I do this?

We'll go to the cattle.

I will not leave any signs.

o Yuma! Someone is coming!

How do I get out of here?

There is a gate at the back of the yard.

Go to the River Palace.

Very practical.

I'll see you in New Orleans.
