00:10 Longhorn City, folks.
00:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:22 How long, driver?
00:33 Long enough to drop the mail and stretch a bit.
00:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:48 My apologies, sir.
00:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:52 [BELL RINGING]
01:13 Yes, sir?
01:14 Do you have a Miss Ryan, a Miss Tracy Ryan, registered here?
01:18 Yeah, she's here.
01:20 The Missouri Queen, huh?
01:22 Sounds like a riverboat.
01:23 A room number, please.
01:24 Nothing like a riverboat.
01:26 You know, the last time I was on a riverboat, I saw--
01:28 If you don't mind, my stage leaves in just a moment.
01:31 Oh, sorry.
01:33 Miss Ryan's at number 207.
01:35 Thank you.
01:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:32 Climb in.
02:33 [THEME MUSIC]
02:46 [THEME MUSIC]
02:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:14 Josh.
03:16 Well, hello, Tracy.
03:17 Why don't you take over the deck?
03:18 I seem to have more luck when you're dealing.
03:20 I've got to see you.
03:22 Now?
03:22 Please.
03:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:27 Bottle and two glasses.
03:36 I've been watching the way she looks at you, mister.
03:43 Thanks.
03:44 Cupid with a red nose and a pot belly.
03:50 I need help, Josh.
03:51 I need help with something awful.
03:53 Well, now, I can see that.
03:55 I'm willing to pay for it.
03:57 $300, $600, anything.
04:00 You got trouble with the law?
04:01 I can't go to the marshal.
04:03 Not now.
04:04 Later, maybe, but not now.
04:07 Tell me you'll help me, please.
04:10 Well, I can't seem to make a living at Farrow.
04:12 It isn't a very flattering picture.
04:18 Stacey Torrance.
04:21 Tracy Ryan.
04:24 I hope that's your twin sister from Europe.
04:27 You want me for the murder of my husband, Leo Torrance.
04:32 Sorry, I'd rather lose at Farrow.
04:34 But I don't think he's dead.
04:36 I think Leo's alive.
04:38 You think?
04:39 I'm not sure.
04:41 I mean, I was sure, but I'm not anymore.
04:45 Well, when you decide, you let me know now, here.
04:47 Josh, wait.
04:49 Trying to make up a woman's mind is riskier
04:51 than a shootout in the dark, here.
04:52 Josh.
04:54 Hey.
04:55 What's the matter? What happened to her?
04:57 She's lovesick.
04:58 Now, I'll take her to a doctor.
04:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:02 [FOOTSTEPS]
05:06 Uh, Mr. Randall, you--
05:16 Relax.
05:17 She's my mother.
05:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:21 [FOOTSTEPS]
05:25 This isn't my room.
05:40 It's mine.
05:42 Easy.
05:43 You need help, remember?
05:49 [FOOTSTEPS]
05:52 You're working for me or the reward?
05:55 Both.
05:55 If I don't like your story, I might be tempted to turn you in.
05:59 Don't play games with me, Josh.
06:01 I'm afraid I'm here, Stacy.
06:02 Well, another bounty man wouldn't give me this chance.
06:17 But maybe I'm winning a little, huh?
06:21 You might be at that.
06:23 All right, let's hear about it.
06:24 Leo and I were married about a year ago.
06:32 He was an actor on the riverboats along the Missouri.
06:36 Actor, drunkard, gambler, drifter.
06:40 I picked myself a good one, I did.
06:42 What was it?
06:43 Love, sympathy, or just plain bad judgment?
06:47 All of them.
06:49 Oh, I had big plans for us.
06:52 Our marriage was going to give Leo the strength that he needed.
06:55 Give him the purpose, direction, blah, blah, blah.
06:59 What pretty thoughts.
07:01 And he put the spurs to them, huh?
07:02 We bought a riverboat of our own.
07:10 Missouri Queen bought it with my money.
07:15 Leo taught me all the tricks.
07:17 How to palm a deck and spike a drink.
07:20 How to lie, cheat, steal.
07:23 All the rules for success.
07:24 And then when things looked good, he told me to get out.
07:38 He wanted full ownership of the boat.
07:44 We had an argument, a fight.
07:48 And he threatened me with a knife.
07:51 He said I'd do things his way, or he'd
07:54 carve his initials in my face.
07:57 Face looks all right to me.
07:59 He tried.
08:00 He really did.
08:03 I fought him off, and--
08:06 and then he slipped.
08:09 He slipped.
08:10 And he fell on the knife.
08:12 That it?
08:14 I was scared.
08:19 I was so scared I didn't know what to do.
08:23 I dragged the body onto the deck,
08:26 and I let it fall into the river.
08:27 Now, that was a fool thing to do.
08:36 I know.
08:37 I know, but I had the panics.
08:39 I shouldn't have run away either, but I did.
08:42 I've been running ever since.
08:46 How long ago did this happen?
08:47 Three or four months ago.
08:51 Oh, Josh.
08:53 If we can just find Leo and prove that he's still alive,
08:56 I'll turn myself in and stand trial for attempted murder.
09:00 That's wish talk, honey.
09:01 And all the wishing and dreaming in the world
09:02 isn't going to make that man undead.
09:05 Leo was here this morning.
09:07 What?
09:08 He was right here in this town.
09:10 He left on that stage just a little while ago.
09:13 It was Leo who put that poster under my door.
09:16 Oh, now, wait a minute.
09:17 Oh, Josh, you've got to believe me.
09:18 Well, why?
09:19 I mean, you tell me why.
09:21 Because that's Leo's way.
09:22 That's his kind of revenge.
09:24 Revenge?
09:25 If he wanted revenge, all he had to do
09:26 is point you out to a marshal.
09:27 No, that's too simple, too quick.
09:29 He's trying to break me, to--
09:31 to twist me apart.
09:32 That's why I got the poster instead of the marshal.
09:35 Sure.
09:35 And he twists the wings off of butterflies.
09:39 Here, look at this.
09:42 Is that some kind of lie?
09:46 I'm sorry, Stacy.
09:49 I'm just sorry.
09:50 I'm going to keep you locked in this room until I get back.
09:57 What are you going to do?
10:00 I don't know.
10:01 I never chased a ghost before.
10:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:05 Mr. Rannells, management--
10:18 When did the stage leave here?
10:20 About 20 minutes ago.
10:21 Now, about that lady--
10:23 Oh, yes, my mother.
10:24 Well, now, she's very old, and she's very tired.
10:26 If anyone disturbs her, anyone at all, I'll have your job.
10:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:32 [HORSE GALLOPING]
10:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:39 [HORSE GALLOPING]
11:09 [SCREAMING]
11:12 Hold it, Waddy.
11:14 Now, all I want is one of your passengers.
11:16 What for?
11:17 That's personal reason.
11:18 You better get rid of that gun belt
11:20 before you start doing any visiting.
11:22 [BIRDS CHIRPING]
11:25 Where is he?
11:40 Who?
11:41 The riverboat captain.
11:42 Left him back in Longhorn City.
11:45 You mean he didn't ride out here with you?
11:47 Nope.
11:49 Do you have any idea where he went?
11:50 This business ain't none of my business.
11:52 I don't figure it's none of yours either.
11:54 [YELPS]
11:55 Move along, then.
11:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:00 [WATER SPLASHING]
12:28 Have you seen a riverboat captain in here today?
12:30 We're a long ways from any river, Josh.
12:33 Very funny.
12:34 Come here.
12:35 Listen, I can't tell a man how to treat
12:43 a frilly woman like Tracy.
12:46 But you got a murderer on your hands, my friend.
12:48 That's so.
12:50 Take a look at this.
12:52 Where did you get this?
12:53 Couple of bounty hunters rode in with it.
12:55 Where did they come from?
12:56 I don't know.
12:57 Listen, they know she works here.
13:00 That's why they came to me, asking.
13:01 You know, I'm supposed to get half of the reward money.
13:04 All I got to do is tell them where to find her.
13:07 I'd be real content to share my half with you.
13:09 All you got to do is just tell me where I--
13:11 [GRUNTS]
13:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:15 Uh, Mr. Handel--
13:23 Later, later.
13:24 What?
13:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:29 [DOOR OPENS]
13:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:46 All right, where is she?
14:11 What?
14:12 Where is she?
14:13 What did you do with her?
14:14 Your, uh, mother?
14:16 Never mind the joke.
14:17 What did you do with the girl?
14:18 I-- I don't know.
14:19 You're lying.
14:20 You're the only one that's got a key to that room.
14:21 You're the only one that could have opened the door
14:22 and then locked it again.
14:23 You better start making mouth movement, mister.
14:26 Tell me.
14:27 Well, uh, there were these two men.
14:31 They came from Summit Pass.
14:32 Bounty men, they wanted her.
14:35 They had long, sharp fingernails, didn't they?
14:38 Long, sharp, and scratchy.
14:40 Well, um, Mr. Randall--
14:42 [DOOR OPENS]
14:45 The truth.
14:47 I've already told you the truth.
14:49 These two men, they-- they asked about Miss Ryan, or Torrance.
14:52 That was the name that was on the poster.
14:55 I kept her safe, Mr. Randall.
14:56 I didn't let them get near her.
14:57 Show me.
14:58 I was just keeping her safe, Mr. Randall,
15:00 until the marshal got back in town.
15:02 Those bounty men, they could have shot her down or--
15:04 Show me where she is now.
15:08 She's-- she's right in that closet there.
15:11 Here.
15:12 This is the key.
15:13 Use it.
15:14 Just keeping her safe, huh?
15:22 It's mine.
15:37 Miss Ryan, I only did it--
15:39 You make me sick.
15:41 Hey, wait.
15:42 [DOOR SLAMS]
15:44 Check out time.
15:45 Mice.
15:50 Any yellow horse?
15:55 No.
15:57 Where are we going?
15:58 Well, somebody's handing out your posters
15:59 over at Summit Pass.
16:00 He might be related by marriage.
16:02 Who?
16:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:06 [HORSE GALLOPING]
16:35 Looks like a ghost.
16:36 Place to find a dead man is undead.
16:45 You're beginning to believe me, aren't you?
16:47 About Leo, I mean.
16:48 Josh.
16:55 He's been here all right.
17:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:06 Take the horse down and put him in that barn.
17:14 Keep out of sight.
17:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:47 Might be a good place for you to rest up, Stacy.
17:50 You've been acting like you need it.
17:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:41 Well, he's made himself a nest up there.
18:45 He could show up any minute.
18:47 When he does?
18:48 Well, that depends.
18:49 Now, go on, shoo.
18:50 Find yourself a shadow to hide in.
18:52 I have to know what you're going to do.
18:54 Well, I would appreciate an opportunity to be able
18:56 to handle this in my own way.
18:58 You see, I need the experience.
19:01 You could kill him, Josh.
19:02 I suppose so.
19:06 He's dead.
19:08 Officially dead.
19:10 You could gun him down, and it wouldn't matter a bit.
19:13 Pretty ugly words coming from such a pretty girl.
19:16 Sounds strange coming from you, Stacy.
19:18 Look what he's done to me, Josh.
19:20 As long as he's alive, you stand a good chance in court.
19:23 That's what we want, isn't it?
19:26 I suppose so.
19:29 All right, come on.
19:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:35 Well, let's find you a new home, keep you out of the way.
19:59 Now, I want you to wait in here until I call you.
20:01 All right.
20:04 Josh, I'm sorry.
20:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:10 Good afternoon.
20:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:28 I hope you don't mind my seeking shelter in your barn.
20:39 Oh, I help myself to some drinking water, too.
20:41 Of course, I intend to pay for it.
20:43 That's all right, Torrance.
20:45 Torrance?
20:46 Leo Torrance, actor, gambler, riverboat captain,
20:50 and part-time corpse.
20:52 He must be a friend of Stacy's.
20:54 That's right.
20:55 That explains the gun.
20:57 You're not a killer, too, are you?
20:59 How many killers do you know, Torrance?
21:01 Just Stacy.
21:03 Murdered the only man who ever loved her.
21:06 You look alive enough to me.
21:07 But must we have that gun, sir?
21:08 It seems you Westerners can't carry on a simple conversation
21:11 without hardware.
21:13 Hands behind your neck.
21:14 I beg your pardon?
21:15 Put your hands behind your neck.
21:17 [SIGHS]
21:19 Can we be friendly now?
21:27 Not just yet, Torrance.
21:28 Leo Torrance is dead, sir.
21:33 Well, his clothes fit you pretty well.
21:35 His clothes?
21:37 Oh, this uniform.
21:38 I took over the Missouri Queen after Leo was killed.
21:42 Why aren't you on it?
21:43 Because she's in dry dock for a couple of weeks.
21:45 The weather in the east is miserable this time of the year.
21:48 Yeah, well, the weather here hasn't been so good either.
21:50 Those posters.
21:52 Ah, yes, the posters.
21:54 I sincerely hope they've done some good.
21:57 Yeah, just fine.
21:58 In fact, they've driven Stacy out of her mind.
22:01 She stabbed poor Leo and dropped him into the river to die.
22:04 I don't know what she told you, but Leo Torrance is dead.
22:07 I am merely the instrument of his justice.
22:10 You tell Stacy that?
22:12 Is she here?
22:13 You'll see her.
22:15 You're very thorough, sir.
22:17 I suppose this is to be my truth test.
22:19 Remember, you said it.
22:22 Not me, Torrance.
22:23 That way.
22:30 Pull out Leo.
22:38 He answers to his name, doesn't he, Josh?
22:41 You startled me, Stacy.
22:43 I intended to.
22:46 Surely this isn't your truth test.
22:49 Nope, taking you both to the marshal.
22:51 Let him figure out this whole thing.
22:53 You seem to forget Stacy's wanted for murder.
22:56 You're murdered, Leo, and you're still alive.
22:59 That was fun while it lasted.
23:04 Fun?
23:05 That's enough, Stacy.
23:07 Feel better now?
23:07 No.
23:10 That's enough.
23:12 You won't shoot me, mister.
23:13 Don't bet on it.
23:15 You need me alive to keep Stacy from hanging.
23:17 All right.
23:22 [GUNSHOT]
23:23 Why, Stacy?
23:33 Why?
23:36 You can take me in, Josh.
23:38 Now the poster is right.
