but Gong and Go week. Thescene is Texas City's best and only hotel.
Uh huh. At the moment,we found the foreman of the b
bar b TX Mason slowly walking downthe hall, past moving wallpaper, warped
dark Dame Doris and but finally hestops before one of them spin some of

(01:11):
us the faded kilt numbers on itand then not Yes, I'm texting Mason.
I'm supposed to meet a man namedJeff Atkins here. Oh, well,
come right in, Mason, havea seed, won't you? I
am Jim Thatch And uh, Ibelieve you already know. Berdie Gensen.

(01:36):
Yeah, Hi, you text gladto see what are you doing here?
Bertie? Well, I that isI have sent story. Mister Mason just
as I did for you, andsee just why did you wanna see it?
And note didn't explain it, justsaid it was important back come and
so it was, Well, I'vebetter start us at the beginning. You

(01:57):
remember Jason wall Or you mean thatcrazy your mine. He's always brumming dough
around here, which he ate,was my uncle? Huh o? Well
look you, I didn't mean nothing, all right. I know my uncle
was peculiar. Why he was deadAmazon did about two months ago. Oh,
I'm really sorry to hear that.And how the reason that I sent

(02:20):
to you s to was that Iunderstand each one of some money before he
died, and we helped drums takehim. If that's what you mean,
that's it, And in return hegave each of you a third in the
mind he was gonna work with anotherof his pipe dreams because more then the
mind didn't pay off, of coursenot. But the mind has no interest

(02:43):
to me. What I missed itis paying back some money you want?
Hey, I was was he that'sthat's your nasty nose. The least I
can do for him. And justwhat do you want in return, mister
Atkins? M what not a thing? Course you have to give up your
cheers and worseless mine. But herehere we ain't mine it anyway. But

(03:07):
we're not schools either. What doyou mean? I mean it seems roughly
strange I should come all the wayout here to pay off a small debt
like that, particularly when you didn'tdo a thing to help your uncle when
he was alive. I'll see here, Mason, what do you get that
your text? What do you mean? Just that? I always begin to
wonder when the facts don't add up. Tell me, mister Askins, it

(03:28):
couldn't be that that mine is reallyvaluable to it? Why? Why?
Of course not? It couldn't bethat your old Jake's only air and that
she wants to mine all to yourself. You mean he can trying to cheat
this text? Well? Lacking?You think you're smart? Don't you me
smart enough to smell of fish,particularly when it's a rotten one? All

(03:51):
right, So then have it yourown way. I tried to be nice
to you. Oh, I'll haveto try a different text. But I'm
gonna get that mind, I see, And I was right, Never mind
that. Just name your price,because you are gonna show me that mine
all way. I don't think soat least not until we've had the time

(04:15):
to do some checking on its value. If I give you the time,
meaning figure it out yourself. Yes, right, but gets the I want
that mine and I'm gonna get it, And no corn said cow folks,
they're gonna stand in my way.I think sad over my guy. Yes,

(04:38):
h I think that over real.Well, before it's too late to
wait up. You can't just throwoff my there. Tell me you ever
think I think you're fine to seeit? Do you think he's trying to
buy yours in that mind? Causeit's valuable. That's what I'm betting on,
Bertie. If that isn't start todo anything out of the goodness of

(05:01):
his heart. Yeah, that's whatI thought too, Only well, what
are we gonna do now? Youdon't have to do anything. I'll check
on the mind, find out whetherit's worth anything or huh. Yeah,
but what about action? Oh whatabout him? Well, he's a dust
guy. He can think that justfrom looking at him by the way he
is talking. He might try toforce us to sell out our shares.
He might try, but that doesn'tmean he'll succeed. No, But there's

(05:24):
no telling what he's liable to do. He's a dangerous text. I know
he isn't, and I'm afraid.Look text you started, Disney, it's
such to you to protect me.You got to see that. You don't
get to hurt me. Hey,now wait a minute, no'll text you.
You gotta. It's if you don't. I I'll tell him my share
in the mind. That's what I'lldo. But you can't. I'll give
him controlling interest. I'll do itif you don't protect me. It's better

(05:46):
than getting killed. Nobody's out there. Yeah, he wasn't saying I ain't
taking no chances. Now how aboutit? Text it? Are you gonna
protect me? Am? I gonnagive him my share in the mind?

each other now, don't wait,very don't wait. So yeah, it's
here, miss Jackson. In fact, Mason, we understand each other so

(12:24):
well that we've been able to cometo turn. Bertie is just sold me
his share in the mind. Uncleleft Berdy. You didn't well take that
head, Mason, which means thatnow you're the only one I have left
to deal with. Tell me youready to sign over your share? What
do you think still be you stuff? Huh? You might call it then,

(12:48):
but in any event, I'm notselling, not under any condition you
think, so Raves, that's whatFerdy thought. But some oh I've managed
to change his money. I meanyou're frightened him into what. Well that
might have worked on Bertie, butit won't work on me. I don't

(13:09):
scare easily. I can know well, maybe not, but I'll tell you
I have found out that men whodon't scare as easily as others can die
just busy, a flat collar manilastraight all right? Then? Asking to
let me give you an illustration.See that empty bottle on the window there,

(13:30):
and I see it all right?Now? You see it? Now
you don't get the point? Uhhuh. So you're a good shot when
you're fighting an empty bottle, Butwhat about when you come up against the

(13:52):
men? Try me and find outthat body? Boys, Except that when
I was leaving, I stumbled acrossWindy lying on the ground outside. I'm
conscious as usually got that out,irish. How was I to know that

(14:13):
death would sneak up behind me andslug me. I'm going it's bad enough
to have him diggingity upset this away. I'sought you making no cracks. I's
down up to be arrested. Idon't see how it's done with nothing against
him? Do you mean nothing again? I got a buffer on my head
that looks like I'm wearing a derby. Yes, but you admit you didn't

(14:33):
see you it you. There's nomore evidence to prove he did, and
he have that he forced Bertie intosigning over his share of the mind.
Oh, we're not giving up.Done, He's fighting until I get the
evidence I need. But oh,all this a second? Well, I
see who this is. It's probablymore bad news. You don't seem to
get nothing else. Oh yes,oh fine, really will you? Uh

(15:00):
huh uh huh. This is aconversation. All right, thanks very much.
Right by, which is one partof them. At three Order Text
Telegraph Company, they had the answerto one of the wires I sent off
asking about the mine. No,no, it's all going And why all
this fuss about it? If amine ain't worth nothing, mine isn't windy,

(15:24):
but the land is. Oh well, would you pitch that up there
again? I say, the mineisn't valuable, but the land is.
You see. According to that telegram, the land on which Old Jake started
mining is right in the path ofa proposed new highway they're building. That's
why Jeff is anxious to get controlof it so he can sell the land
of the government at his own price. So h he has to control the

(15:45):
land completely if he's to sell it, which means that owning Bertie share doesn't
do him a bit of good unlesshe gets mine too, will be then
then he can't give up till hegets your share, right Irish, And
it gives us the answer on whatto do. Nothing nothing. Since we
know that we're holding him and checkme, we don't have to do anything.
But fit's tight. The next moveis up to mister Jeff Atkins.

(16:17):
Atkins, I tell you I can'tdo it. I can't. I say
you will, and I'll sit outat the table and write the note that
I told you God, But whycan't you leave me alone? I did
what you wanted. I signed overmy share in the mind to your share.
But I still want Mason. You'regonna help me get it. I'll
write that note. I can't,you will. It's the only way I

(16:37):
can get complete control. Mason isn'ta coward like you that I can frighten
into doing what I want? Well, hey, now shut up, I
say, he isn't a coward likeyou, So I'll have to use a
different lever. But to ask meto lead him into a trap, so
you can do the only way.Once he's dead, I can forge you.

(16:57):
It's able to build a sailor.Nobody can prove he didn't sign it.
I know at the word fright hedone it. Well, Bertie,
think of this. It isn't aquestion of whether there'll be a murder or
not. The question is who's themurderer his Oh your no, No,

(17:18):
you can't kill me. Just Iwrite the notice, I dictate Jahn the
sex mason. This is to tellyou that you were right for you guessed
that I was forced. I meanthat's I was. But if you will
meet me tomorrow morning, an hourbefore dawn at the Old Shack and Constill
Pass, and will give you allthe proof you need against sions, come

(17:41):
alone. I'll be waiting. Andif signed, Bertie, next, do
you really think that note's on thelevel? If any thanks might just crush
I say, don't go that.It isn't that easy. Son. If
this note is on the level andBertie has the evidence we need against Achis,
I can't afford to pass it up. No, I have to go,

(18:02):
if only to find out what chetell you? What Tex? Why
not go? Like the note says, but take us with you now?
The note also says, I'm becomealone. You know how timith Bertie is.
If he sees it's all timing,he might have run on. But
you can't go alone. Text.If the notes of phoney Atkins was liable
to be just for waiting there topick you all, that's the chance I'm
going to have to take't know aboutabout it? Boys you want to follow

(18:25):
about an hour afterwards? All right? But I'm meeting Bertie at the shack
alone, Mason, you wish youscared me coming in like grands where I

(18:49):
can see him pretty alone forward tocheer him alone? But what are you
acting to screw? You about?To put put them guns away? Well,
as soon as I'm sure you're alone, I'll tell you that ain't nobody
else here. Oh I see allright then, perty go ahead. Huh,

(19:10):
you're gonna tell me something? Hesaid you had to proof against that,
and well, what is it?Oh well, you see Mason,
cold party. Why are you edgingtowards the door like that? Uh?
Why I wasn't going towards the door? No, no, no, of
course not. Why should that?That's what I'd like to know. All

(19:30):
right, Perty, what are youup to? Come on? Nothing fun
at Mason? You're you're imagining Honoufrey. I know you're too well to be
pooled. Now what's going on here? I mean all right, I'm all
right, I will you trapped me? What's he's gonna be killed for?
It wasn't trap? Yeah, andyou walk right into it. You think
you're a brave and strong and smart, always laughing behind the back because you

(19:52):
think I'm from a weakness. Formaybe I am Mason, but at least
I'm gonna live, and I'm not. You haven't got a chance backing waiting
right outside the shack now with acropped hard rifle, waiting to put a
bullets in you the instant you stickyour nose outside the door, Still gonna
die. Nations with me. I'mgonna livet frightened? What do you mean?

(20:12):
Do you mean that you led meinto this trap? Gave him to
Atkins thinking that he'll let you live, of course you will. I helped
him. You helped him, Butit's not gonna help you, don't you.
He has to kill you for thesame reason he wants to kill me.
But I did what he wanted.I signed my share of the mine
over to him. I helped himtrap you and to trap yourself. He
can't kill that you live anymore,and he could let me. We both

(20:33):
know to him. I no,no, you're making that up to stair
me. Am. I I'm justtry to leave here. Shoot it down
like a dog. No. MaybeI'm trapped, Bertie, but you are
too. You're lying. Maybe I'mgonna die, but you are too,
Bertie. No, no, you'rewrong, and I prove it. I'll
dRIT sighting and you will see thathe wants you. Don't, Bertie,
don't be a fool. Don't youwaking. It's me, Bertie. I'm
coming out, but don't don't.All right, my son? That takes

(21:03):
care of forty. Oh, comeon, you're it, Bertie. Then
he didn't tell you he's hurt.You couldn't get me to a doctor here.
Let me see how badly you've beenhit. He's hurt, something wawful.
You can't let me die. Youyou gotta save me? Did a

(21:26):
doctor? Me? Get a doctor? Oh? Can I with akins covering
the shack with a rifle. Ican't die. I'm scared of just says
you've been scared of eleven? Pleaseplease go all right, I'll try just
one chance that I can see youtake it, take it, but save
me. I don't know if evena doctor can do you any good now,

(21:47):
but i'll try. Now, listen, Bertie's what I'm gonna do.
Our only chance is to get Atkinsin here. Do you understand that?
So what I'm going to try todo is show myself, get him to
fire up me, and then pretendthat I'm hit. Then she'll just come
in here to make sure, asI think you will. At least we'll
have some chance to do it.Only hurry, hurry before right, all

(22:11):
right? Just take it easy,Bertie, you just like still, Let's
see what I can do. Ican act. Can you hear me?
What a lot of Amazons are youconning up? Why do I have to
burn you out of the track?Well, what's your answer? Here's my

(22:36):
answer? Oh there, here's yourBason Basons. Oh you suck your new

(23:00):
all the answers a pretty sight thentill you lay in there, the weakling
and the big great strong guy,the strong and the weak. Only I've
killed your boat you were playing andit looks like this time the popping copper.

(23:22):
Not yet you have hells you yougot it. You killed it and
I killed him. He'll lift apaying court for what he's done. And
me, Mason, when you saveme, I'll get a doctor off.
That's what you mean. But that'sa saving you that depends on whether you've

(23:44):
got that courage to fight for one. Tell me where you even fight to
live? Please? Please, Iwonder, Yes, I really want.
