Shotgun Slade Ring of Death S1E34
Transcript
00:00It's almost too beautiful to be real.
00:13I guess everything's going to seem like that from now on.
00:20Joe, it's so lovely.
00:21It's got to be the prettiest engagement ring anybody ever had.
00:26I brought it straight from Abilene.
00:29If it was twice as big, Kate, it couldn't say how I feel about you.
00:38Well, I reckon I'd better be going.
00:41I haven't seen Pa yet.
00:43He's expecting me right about now.
00:45First trip as trail boss.
00:46Oh, you must feel proud.
00:48Yeah, I got a good price for the herd.
00:51$20,000.
00:52Oh!
00:53Not bad, considering grass was short.
00:56Kate, I don't like seeing you stay here alone nights.
01:00Why don't you ride over home with me?
01:02Joe, I've been alone since Pa died.
01:04This is my home.
01:06It's the only one I've got.
01:07Well, that's going to change.
01:09We'll be having our own home for a long...
01:11Mm-hmm.
01:26See you tomorrow.
01:27See you, Kate.
01:41Hear it?
01:42I heard every word.
01:46$20,000.
01:47That's better than I figured.
01:48And a great big diamond.
01:50Here, then take it.
01:51I don't want it.
01:52It's his.
01:53No, no.
01:54There'll be questions asked.
01:56And this is going to be one of the answers.
01:58You'll be grieving for poor Joe.
02:01You...
02:02You're going to go after him?
02:03That's my plan.
02:05Len, don't do it.
02:06I...
02:07I can't go through with this.
02:08I'm not fool enough to pass up a chance like this.
02:11But I've got to see you.
02:13I...
02:14I can't be away from you weeks like you said.
02:16If they see us together, they'll...
02:18They'll get ideas.
02:23Now you do just like I told you.

04:34Didn't his girl know the date he was due back?
04:37Katie?
04:39Joe was going to marry her.
04:42What else do you know about her?
04:44Oh, nice girl.
04:47Never been in any trouble.
04:50Joe's death hit her hard.
04:51She's been alone since her pa died.
04:54Well, I'd like to have a talk with that girl.
05:05Howdy, Kate.
05:07Howdy, Marshal.
05:15Kate, this is Mr. Slade.
05:18Mr. Slade, Kate Heaney.
05:19How do you do, Kate?
05:20How do you do?
05:21I'm working for Mr. Keith.
05:24I'm a detective.
05:25He wants to ask you a few questions about Joe.
05:29Have they found out anything?
05:30No.
05:31Not yet, but we're still working on it.
05:35I told everything to Marshal Barry.
05:38It'll help find whoever killed Joe.
05:42I'm glad to answer anything I can.
05:46Tell me, Miss Heaney.
05:47How do you manage to run this ranch all by yourself?
05:52I do what I can.
05:54Joe and his father used to help me after my pa died.
05:58Some of the other neighbors help out, too.
06:00Now, Miss Heaney, I want you to listen very carefully
06:02to what I'm going to ask you.
06:05Did you mention to anyone the day that Joe was due back?
06:09No.
06:11Are you sure?
06:13Well, if it's possible, I don't remember doing it.
06:17Did Joe say anything about any of the trail hands,
06:19like any one of them being unusually
06:22interested in the money?
06:25No.
06:28How did he act the night he stopped by?
06:32He was happy.
06:34Be home, see me.
06:38He rode in.
06:39We talked for about half an hour.
06:43He planned to be married soon.
06:47He said he was going to ride on home.
06:53He left.
06:58I'm sorry.
06:59I didn't mean to.
07:01We understand, Kate.
07:03We're sorry we had to bother you.
07:04It's just that we don't have much to go on.
07:07Thank you very much, Miss Heaney.
07:10OK.
07:22Let's go.
07:43Right here is where Joe was killed.
07:48Now it takes a pretty good shot
07:51You know, I can't help but feel sorry for that girl.
07:56First her pa died, now Joe.
07:59Yeah.
08:01I'm probably wrong, Marshal.
08:03I just can't explain it.
08:05I've got a hunch that girl didn't mean a word she said.
08:09Well, I've never been one to tromp on a hunch.
08:12Well, we'll stow it for now, Marshal.
08:14I had a hunch the South was going to win the war once.
08:50Let's go.
09:20I told you never to come here.
09:34It's been a month.
09:36You couldn't stay away.
09:37There's a detective in town.
09:39You trying to get us both caught?
09:40Talk to him.
09:42I got to just like you said.
09:44It's going to be all right now.
09:45It's all over.
09:46They're going to give up.
09:47Don't be a fool.
09:48They're still watching.
09:49And waiting.
09:50I told you it might be months before we could see each other.
09:55I need you.
09:57I need you.
09:58All right, darling.
10:00Look, why don't you go back to your place now?
10:07Where's the ring?
10:11I didn't want to wear it, Lance.
10:13What do you mean you didn't want to wear it?
10:14I told you to wear it.
10:16Did you have it on when the detective was there?
10:19Yeah.
10:20Did you?
10:23It was his.
10:25I never wanted to wear it.
10:27I want yours.
10:28Have you worn it any time since that night?
10:31It's all right, Leonard.
10:32I put it away safe.
10:33And no one will ever know.
10:34I never told them.
10:35They gave it to me.
10:37What a dumb, stupid.
10:39I thought this thing through.
10:40I planned it.
10:41I planned it all right.
10:42That stupid mind of yours, all that stupid brain of yours
10:44had to do was remember what I said.
10:48Well, Leonard, isn't that bad?
10:51Nobody will know.
10:54I called the warrant.
10:55Hey, shut up.
10:56I've got to figure what to do.
10:57I've got to figure what to do.
10:58If they tie this thing up to you, it'll be my hide.
11:00You stupid fool.
11:03Leonard, I don't like to hear you talking like that.
11:07I never wanted to get tied up with this thing in the first
11:09place.
11:10I did it for you.
11:11I did it for the same reason I did, $20,000.
11:14I did it because I loved you.
11:18I don't think you cared about anything but the money.
11:22You didn't.
11:24Oh, no.
11:25No, I didn't mean that.
11:27No, I didn't mean that.
11:30Leonard, please, hold me.
11:32Hold me tight.
11:33Those detectives that work years on a case,
11:34they don't give up.
11:36I'm not going to get caught.
11:37I don't plan to hang.
11:39You get away from here.
11:40You get away from here.
11:41I don't want to see you around.
11:44What are you talking about?
11:45Well, I thought it would just be a few months before it was
11:47safe for us to be seen.
11:48But no, it's going to take years.
11:49First time they see us together, they're
11:50going to start thinking.
11:53Well, we could go away together now.
11:55Oh, that's great.
11:56Then they'll really know.
11:58But we love each other.
11:59Look, I'm not going to put a rope around my neck
12:01just to see you.
12:02I'm going to give you your half of the money.
12:05I don't want the money.
12:08From now on, we're going to forget
12:10that we ever saw each other.
12:13Now, you get away from me.
12:16No.
12:17No, I'm not leaving.
12:19Now, you take me away with you anyway.
12:21Please, Len, please.
12:22No.
12:25Len, stop.
12:29If you don't take me away with you, I'll tell them everything.
12:34You what?
12:39That's all I want, Len, to be with you.
12:44I mean it.
12:46I'll tell that detective if we don't go away together.
12:53I'm sorry, Len.
12:54I'm sorry.
12:55I'm sorry.
12:56I'm sorry.
12:57I'm sorry.
12:58I'm sorry.
12:59I'm sorry.
13:00I'm sorry.
13:02You're not going to tell anybody anything.
13:06No.
13:07No.
13:08No, I won't.
13:09I won't.
13:32I told you how to catch my brother, säme!

13:55I didn't take long.
13:56No.
13:57Marshall Finagelian is a friend of mine.
13:58He wired me right back.
13:59Hot coffee?
14:00Joe bought an engagement ring.
14:02Right.
14:03And he stopped by to see Kate.
14:04That ring must have been burning a hole in his pocket
14:06all the way back from Aveline.
14:08But she didn't mention a ring.
14:09And she wasn't wearing one either, Marshal.
14:12Maybe that hunch of yours was right.
14:14Let's get out and have another talk with that young lady.
