00:00Stop that sorrow!
00:03All I ask is the chance to stand before you, stripped bare.
00:07Doubloons, Mr. Steele.
00:10Gold doubloons.
00:12Gold fever's a frightful disease, Laura.
00:14It can turn an honest, decent man into a treacherous, devious animal.
00:17You want to leave me behind and keep all the gold for yourself?
00:21Did gold ever turn you into a treacherous, devious animal?
00:28Treacherous, devious animal.
00:35Try this for a deep, dark secret.
00:38The great detective Remington Steele?
00:41He doesn't exist.
00:43I invented him. Follow.
00:45I always loved excitement.
00:47So I studied and apprenticed and put my name on an office.
00:51But absolutely nobody knocked down my door.
00:54A female private investigator seemed so feminine.
00:58So I invented a superior.
01:00A decidedly masculine superior.
01:03Suddenly there were cases around the block.
01:05It was working like a charm.
01:08Until the day he walked in with his blue eyes and mysterious past.
01:13And before I knew it, he assumed Remington Steele's identity.
01:17Now I do the work and he takes the vows.
01:21It's a dangerous way to live.
01:23But as long as people buy it, I can get the job done.
01:27We never mix business with pleasure.
01:30Well, almost never.
01:33I don't even know his real name.
01:53I don't even know his real name.
02:24Oh, how I love a costume party, eh?
02:27The choice of one's costume is often determined by the true style of the inner man.
02:30Wouldn't you agree, Murphy?
02:32I'm going to get you for this.
02:34No, Murphy. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
02:37Hmm?
02:40Excellent. Come along, Laura. Judy awakes.
02:43I'm not coming out like this.
02:46I'm not coming out like this.
02:49Excellent. Come along, Laura. Judy awakes.
02:51I'm not coming out like this.
02:53Now, Laura, how do you propose to guard Miss Goodbride's collection...
02:56of old Californian artifacts hid behind that wall?
03:01Oh.
03:03I told you not to put him in charge of getting the costumes, Laura.
03:06All I had left are now sighs.
03:08Besides, your brother fetched you no cottontail.
03:20Oh, no.
03:22It's a theme party.
03:26Old California.
03:28Miss Goodbride merely said to come in costume.
03:31We're supposed to mingle with the guests?
03:34Look inconspicuous?
03:36Well, just try not to draw attention to us out, eh?
03:41Mr. Steele.
03:43Ah, Miss Goodbride.
03:45How clever of you to know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
03:48the creator of Sherlock Holmes, once visited California.
03:51I don't quite understand the rabbit and the clown, however.
03:55Ah, what most people don't know, Miss Goodbride,
03:58is that Sir Francis Drake's childhood fantasy was to be a clown.
04:01And, of course, Kit Carson often survived in the wilderness on nothing but rabbit.
04:06Then Mr. Michaels is here as Sir Francis Drake's fantasy...
04:11and Miss Holt as Kit Carson's lunch?
04:15Precisely.
04:18Aah!
04:24Stop that sorrow!
04:34Lady...
04:36Loon...
04:40Loon.
04:43Loon.
04:47Eighty loons?
04:49Eighty loons, indeed.
04:51I'm most distressed, Miss Holt. Most distressed.
04:54Believe me, Miss Goodbride, we at the Remington Steel Agency
04:57are all so distressed by what happened last night.
05:00I don't blame you, mind.
05:02It must have been very difficult trying to run in those bunny shoes.
05:06Ah, yes. Well, won't you sit down?
05:09We've run an inventory on your collection, and nothing seems to be missing.
05:14Except the journal.
05:16What journal?
05:18Oh, while you were so ably protecting my collection of California artifacts,
05:23some scoundrel broke into my library
05:26and stole the journal of a prospector named Arnold Dobbs.
05:30Was it valuable?
05:32Not at all.
05:34Some geology students found it in the San Jacinto Mountains
05:37and sent it to me.
05:39Just the scratchings of a nomad.
05:41Or something to kill for.
05:43Mr. Michaels and I will get right on it.
05:45And Mr. Steel.
05:47I gather he's quite the cat's pajamas at this sort of affair.
05:51Ah, yes, of course.
05:53That's our Mr. Steel. The cat's pajamas.
05:56Loons.
06:03Eighty loons.
06:08A code, perhaps?
06:10Something like the 39 steps?
06:16Then again, it could be 80 lunatics.
06:20PHONE RINGS
06:27Steelham.
06:29If you want to know more about those 80 loons,
06:32you'll meet me at the Macau Bar.
06:35Now.
06:42The dead man's name was Dan Curtin.
06:44A drifter. In and out of jail.
06:47Nothing very interesting about him except his eyes.
06:50His eyes? Yeah.
06:52One green, one brown.
06:54Laura, this is it.
06:56According to the license plate numbers on security's log sheet,
06:59this car was at Miss Kilbride's party last night.
07:05Ah, you got your eye on the L.T.D., huh?
07:07Well, if you pick that car out of this bunch,
07:10I can see that I'm dealing with a couple of crafty gringos.
07:12It's the peach of the crop. My name's Felix.
07:15Murrieta? Junior.
07:17Yes, this little chiquita, she's got everything.
07:19Power steering, power brakes, white walls.
07:21What else do you need to know about her?
07:23What was she doing at Sylvia Kilbride's party last night?
07:27You the bunny rabbit?
07:29I thought I recognized you.
07:31And you, you the jerk in the Sherlock Holmes outfit?
07:33No, I was the, uh... never mind.
07:36Mr. Murrieta, you're an uninvited guest
07:39at a party where a man was murdered.
07:41I had nothing to do with that.
07:43And you won't mind telling us why you were there?
07:45I'm interested in old California.
07:47My family's been here a long time,
07:49and I just wanted to take a look at the exhibit.
07:51It'll be open to the public this weekend. You couldn't wait?
07:53We Latinos are a, uh, hot-blooded, impulsive race.
07:57That's not a very convincing answer.
07:59What costume were you wearing last night?
08:01My lot.
08:05Uh, unless, of course, uh, you're really interested in the L.T.D.
08:17I think you're a hustler.
08:21A cheat!
08:24And besides, I think you talk funny.
08:27Ooh! Ooh!
08:30Oh, sorry, old chap.
08:32All that talk ruined my concentration.
08:38Eighty loons?
08:40Men's room.
08:42Of course.
08:50Eighty loons?
08:53What you're looking for belongs to me.
08:56Oh. Oh, you own the loons.
08:58Stay out of it,
09:00or you and your bunny-rabbit friend could get hurt.
09:03You were at a party, uh, perhaps dressed as Zorro?
09:06Bah!
09:17Mr. Steele.
09:22Mr. Steele, Emmett DeVore,
09:24sea captain, poet, barrister, retired.
09:26It was me who called you.
09:28I cleverly hid meself under a table
09:31until he left.
09:35Look, Cody.
09:37He's a miserable, low-life bum
09:40who claims to own what's rightfully mine.
09:42The loons?
09:44Not loons, Mr. Steele.
09:48The bloons, Mr. Steele.
09:50Oh.
09:52Gold doubloon.
09:54Top, top.
10:01Well, so far, so good.
10:03What do you mean?
10:05At least the intrepid Mr. Steele
10:07hasn't stuck his big nose into this case yet.
10:09Miss Holt, Mr. Michaels.
10:11Please come in. Mr. Steele is already here.
10:18Ah, is it the bunny-rabbit McCloud?
10:22Ah, Laura Murphy.
10:25May I present Captain Emmett DeVore,
10:28soldier, philanthropist, archaeologist,
10:30CPA, retired.
10:32Do sit down.
10:35Captain DeVore has shed some light
10:37on last night's tragedy.
10:39Were you an invited guest, Captain DeVore?
10:41Uh, well, uh...
10:43not exactly.
10:45Captain DeVore read in the papers
10:47that I have in my possession
10:49Arnold Dobbs' journal,
10:51so he came to protect his interest.
10:53Interest in what?
10:54Bloons.
10:5518th-century Toledo mint, to be exact.
10:58That one coin is worth well over $1,000.
11:01I'm telling you, Dobbs thought it would take
11:03at least four boroughs to bring the rest in.
11:06Emmett staked Mr. Dobbs to his last unfortunate expedition.
11:10In exchange, he was given this document.
11:12As you can see, Miss Holt,
11:14it guarantees me one-half of the treasure of the San Jacintos.
11:17The treasure probably consists of doubloons
11:20robbed from a Spanish caravan by the Murrietas in 1787.
11:24The Murrietas?
11:25A family of banditos.
11:27They have terrorized this state for generations
11:30with their thieving and murdering.
11:32I mean, heaven knows what they're up to now.
11:34They own a used car lot in the valley.
11:36They've stooped that low, have they?
11:38Felix Murrieta, Jr. was at the party last night.
11:41He was?
11:43No doubt he was after my gold.
11:46You know what I'm thinking?
11:48It wouldn't surprise me if it was him who killed Dan Curtin.
11:52Tell me what you know about Dan Curtin.
11:54Dan Curtin?
11:56Dan Curtin, well...
11:58Well, he was a liar and a thief,
12:00and I always had a great disliking for him.
12:02Enough to kill him?
12:04Mr. Michaels, if I was a murderer,
12:07would I make a great detective like Remington Steele
12:10a partner in me claim?
12:12A partner in your claim?
12:14In exchange for his services. Isn't that right?
12:17Of course.
12:19Yes, of course.
12:21Mr. Steele, might I confer with you for a moment?
12:23Certainly, certainly. If you will excuse us both.
12:26Alarm clock rings
12:28The Lurdies tripped the alarm for their collection!
12:45Oh!
12:53Will somebody get this clown off of me?
13:01So I overdid the research. Do you have to dislocate my arm?
13:04Since when is breaking and entering necessary for research?
13:08I'm a freelance writer working on the Zorro murder.
13:11Sylvia Kilbride wouldn't talk to me on the phone.
13:16Oh, hell.
13:18I wanted a headline so badly.
13:21I'm really ashamed of myself.
13:24Not bad. Schoolgirl guilt, stammering and blushing.
13:28I'm telling the truth.
13:30My name is Lois Grubans, and my father taught me never to lie.
13:34He was a minister.
13:36Well, then, maybe your father the minister
13:38will be glad to post bail for you.
13:41All right.
13:43I admit it.
13:45I'm not who I pretend to be.
13:51God, you're good, Mr. Steele.
13:54You saw right through me, didn't you?
13:59A man in my business quickly learns to spot a liar.
14:05My real name is Kitty Dobbs.
14:08Dobbs?
14:10Arnold Dobbs was my father.
14:13I was his illegitimate daughter.
14:16His child from a month of passion with my mother
14:19in the goldfields of Alaska in 1953.
14:23He loved me.
14:25He sent money when he could.
14:28When he struck it rich, he promised to make me a queen.
14:32But now I live in a one-bedroom Canoga Park.
14:37Oh, I appeal to you, Mr. Steele.
14:40The doubloons are rightfully mine.
14:43Look into my eyes.
14:46Among the Eskimos from the great north where I was spawned,
14:51green is the color of honesty.
14:54All I ask is the chance to stand before you,
14:58stripped bare, naked...
15:03with the truth.
15:07I'll certainly make that a top priority, Miss Dobbs.
15:14So how's her story?
15:16Spawn of the north. I smell fish in the air.
15:20I came up with another one of those uninvited license plates
15:24at Miss Kilbride's party. Ever hear of Chance McCormick?
15:27Another grizzled prospector?
15:29Close, but no cigar.
15:31McCormick's a professional goldhunter, but he uses...
15:34Computers?
15:35Whatever happened to the legends of strong men
15:38working only with picks and shovels, eh?
15:40I mean, for me, McCormick's gold-hunting computers
15:43lack the human obsession.
15:46The obsession of men like your Captain DeVore?
15:49I've already told you.
15:50My partnership with Emmett DeVore
15:52is merely a way for us to keep tabs on him.
15:54My gold-hunting day is away in the past.
15:57Mysterious past includes prospecting?
15:59Oh, a hobby, nothing more.
16:03Names, please.
16:05Computer-controlled door?
16:08Remington Steel, Laura Holt.
16:11You do not have to shout. I am not deaf. Proceed.
16:17These machines, it's like a...
16:19Metropolis.
16:20What?
16:21Metropolis, directed by Prince Lang.
16:23UFA Studios, Berlin, 1926.
16:25The great mass of inferior humans become slave workers
16:28dominated by superior machines.
16:30Bet you can't name the actors.
16:32Alfred Abel, Gustav Prolek, Rudolf Kleinroger.
16:36Not bad for a computer.
16:41Uh, Mr. McCormick?
16:44Um, Chance McCormick?
16:46Let me try.
16:48Go ahead.
16:49Gold.
16:52Joke?
16:54Inappropriate.
16:55You're Steel, this is Holt.
16:58My Alpha 7500 told me you were on your way.
17:01Alpha 7500?
17:03Sounds like a radioactive dog food.
17:05The Alpha 7500 is just the best little data exchange system west of IBM.
17:10He monitored your conversation coming here.
17:12So, you think I killed Dan Curtin with my little Zorro sword, eh?
17:18Foolish.
17:20You were at Miss Kilbride's party.
17:22Did you know Dan Curtin?
17:24I know everyone who's anyone in the gold business.
17:27Dan Curtin was a scavenger.
17:29A dirty, fingernailed gold digger.
17:31An odd solification, considering your own profession.
17:34Profession is right, Mr. Steel.
17:37Follow me.
17:40I've rented myself a piece of an Italian Earth survey satellite.
17:44Sends radio beams right through the ground right back to me.
17:47Copper and tin, uranium, and the big G.
17:51Gold.
17:53Impressed?
17:54I'll say.
17:55An Italian satellite?
17:56Hey, you gotta start somewhere.
17:59And the doubloons from the San Jacinto Mountains?
18:02I'm working on them.
18:03Without much success, apparently.
18:05You know, it's ironic.
18:06All this technology, and you're in the same boat as everyone else.
18:10You need the scratchings of an old prospector to find that gold.
18:15Show Sherlock and the bunny rabbit out.
18:19This interview is terminated.
18:28Senor Murrieta?
18:30Ah, buenos dias.
18:32This is Remington Steel.
18:35Sherlock Holmes.
18:37That's right, yes.
18:39Excuse me?
18:41Gremlins?
18:43Oh, I see.
18:45No, I'm not actually calling about automobiles.
18:48I...
18:49Well, that does sound like quite a steal, but actually, I...
18:53No, racing stripes wouldn't make a difference.
18:56Senor Murrieta, I wish to inform you that we have recovered the missing journal.
19:02Let me see if I understand this.
19:04He called all the suspects and told them we had the journal in the office safe?
19:10And he expects the innocent people to try and steal it, but not the guilty party?
19:14Because he or she already has it.
19:18I must admit, it does make a peculiar kind of sense.
19:22Don't you think he's becoming a little too involved in this case, Laura?
19:25Well, he does have previous experience with...
19:30gold.
19:32I thought as much.
19:34Did you see the way his eyes lit up when DeVore started talking about the gold?
19:38Like a couple of doubloons.
19:42How high do you think his trust quotient is on this case, Laura?
19:46About the same as it is on anything else.
19:49Oh, that bad, huh?
19:51Someone's coming.
20:09I can't believe this is actually working.
20:24You know, that's a fine lock you got there.
20:27Oh, yeah.
20:29What I was doing, I was checking to see if the journal was tucked away,
20:33safe and sound from them thieving hands.
20:35Well, I see it is, and I'll be on me way.
20:39Boo, Cody was the only one who didn't try to break in.
20:42I can't believe it actually worked.
20:44Cody has the journal.
20:46He's gone for the gold.
20:48My machete will taste his blood.
20:50This man's a devil, and someone should stop him.
20:53Miss Holt, um...
20:55I know what he's gonna ask.
20:57You do?
20:59Now that we know it's Cody, what do we do with them?
21:02I was interested in Laura's thoughts on the subject.
21:05Let him go.
21:07There you go, Murphy. We let him go.
21:10I want you to give Miss Kilbride an update.
21:12Tell her we've identified the man who has the journal,
21:14and you take me to the place where you first bumped into Cody.
21:17Perhaps Murphy and I should go there.
21:19It's hardly the ambience for a young...
21:21Be ridiculous. I'm a private investigator.
21:23It's my job to fit in everywhere.
21:26Shit.
21:30What a pest hole.
21:32Looking for me, honey?
21:34If you feel more comfortable, you can wing the car.
21:37This is Laura Holt's P.I.
21:39Sweat some info out of these turkeys and split.
21:42Whatever you say, big fella.
21:56Oh, you don't get too many locals in here.
21:59Do you mind?
22:01No.
22:06Looking for Lou Cody.
22:08Oh, he left a couple of hours ago.
22:10Did he say where he was going?
22:12Yeah. Where was that?
22:14How about another smoothie?
22:16How about a shot of bourbon, eh?
22:18Well, if that's the best I can promote.
22:21Bartender, a shot of bourbon for Molly.
22:23Thanks.
22:25Lou Cody.
22:27Hmm?
22:29Where was it?
22:31Ohio...
22:33Oxnard.
22:37Bakersfield.
22:40Barstow.
22:44Fairbank.
22:46Let me get this straight.
22:48The object of this game is to get me out of here.
22:51The object of this game is to get those balls
22:54into these pockets with this little ball?
22:57Mm-hmm.
22:59Okay.
23:05Last call.
23:09Oh!
23:11Thanks for the drink.
23:15I got to go close up now.
23:17Lou Cody.
23:19He went to...
23:21Howardville.
23:24Howardville.
23:27Howardville, eh?
23:38Seems deserted.
23:49Let's go.
24:15Blood.
24:19Let's go inside.
24:50It's Lou Cody.
24:52And Arnold Dobbs' journal.
25:07Contact lens.
25:09Tinted green.
25:11Hmm? Yes.
25:13Shouldn't be too difficult to determine
25:15which of our suspects fits that prescription
25:17once we return to civilization?
25:19Betrayal of blood.
25:21Lou Cody was shot in here.
25:23And once the killer was gone,
25:25he obviously tried to make his way back
25:27to where he hid the journal.
25:29Gold fever's a frightful disease, Laura.
25:31It can turn an honest, decent man
25:33into a treacherous, devious animal,
25:35bent on destroying anything that stands in his way.
25:37Are you speaking from experience?
25:39Uh, treasurer of the Sierra Marjorie,
25:41Humphrey Bogart, Walter Houston,
25:43Warner Brothers, um, 1948.
25:45What are you doing?
25:47Just trying to make things cozy.
25:49I, uh, thought we could have a relaxing evening
25:51and then get some rest.
25:53After all, we have to catch a killer in the morning.
25:55Where's my sleeping bag?
25:57Uh, I, um,
25:59I thought the jeep was a trifle overcrowded,
26:01so I only packed one sleeping bag.
26:05You only brought one sleeping bag?
26:07Yes.
26:16Then where are you going to sleep?
26:18Laura, a mountain air can freeze a man to death.
26:21We must huddle together for warmth.
26:23Use the heat of our bodies
26:25to ward off the bitter, chilled night air.
26:29Well,
26:31in the interest of survival.
26:33Ah.
26:35Chin-chin.
26:37Mmm.
26:39Mmm.
26:41Okay.
26:43Okay.
26:45Yes.
26:49Okay.
26:51Ah.
26:59Oh, close quarters.
27:01Yes, delightfully cramped.
27:03Our bodies should have no trouble
27:05generating a veritable bonfire of life-giving heat.
27:07Ah.
27:09Ah.
27:13Okay.
27:15Mmm.
27:17Listen to this.
27:23I saw them again today.
27:25They are definitely after the gold.
27:29Red neck and two eyes.
27:31I've never seen such as him
27:33with one eye
27:35as green as the grass
27:37and the other
27:39as dark as his soul.
27:41Hmm.
27:43Dan Curtin had one green eye and one brown eye.
27:45I wonder who Redneck was.
27:47Don't know.
27:49Skip to the part where Dobbs tells
27:51where he hid the gold.
27:55Just how much of a hobby
27:57was this gold hunting of yours?
28:01You know how I am around shiny objects.
28:03Can't resist them.
28:05For instance,
28:07those shimmering eyes.
28:09Did gold ever turn you into
28:11a treacherous,
28:13devious animal?
28:17At least the lips.
28:19Bent on
28:21destroying anything
28:23that stood in.
28:35Who is that?
28:37Who is that?
28:39Sounds like Captain Emmett DeVore.
28:41I've heard laughter like that before
28:43in the jungles of the Yucatan.
28:45It's the sound of a man made mad with the vision of gold.
28:47Then again,
28:49he could just be remembering a good joke.
28:51He's the killer.
28:53Then he has a gun.
28:55And if he's not, why bother him?
28:57We'd better take turns sleeping.
28:59Two people have died already for this journal.
29:01Really?
29:03I didn't feel like in the mood for sleep anyway.
29:05Then you can take the first watch.
29:13Well, Emmett,
29:15it certainly sounds like
29:17you're having a better time than I am.
29:19Ah!
29:33What's she doing here?
29:35I, uh,
29:37made a mistake.
29:39I told her Lou Cody was up here with the journal.
29:41Swell.
29:43Oh!
29:45What's she doing here?
29:47I'm here to claim the gold
29:49on behalf of the California State Historical Society.
29:51Oh, swell.
29:53Do you have the journal, Mr. Steele?
29:55Yes.
29:57Yes, Miss Kilbride, I have it.
30:03Have a look, Laura.
30:05He's wearing glasses.
30:07We may not have to wait till we get back to civilization
30:09to bag our killer.
30:11You know, you drive like a typical gringo.
30:13Hard to keep up with but easy to follow.
30:15What else?
30:17Where are you going in this? A bar mitzvah?
30:19I warn you, Senor Murrieta,
30:21that gold belongs to the state of California.
30:23My great,
30:25great, great,
30:27great grandfather,
30:29Pepe Murrieta,
30:31stole that gold, and what my ancestor steals is morally mine.
30:33Interesting logic.
30:35I come from a very proud family, Mr. Steele.
30:37We were once the finest bandidos
30:39north of Guadalajara.
30:41Now we're reduced to
30:43rustling used LTDs.
30:45But with that gold,
30:47my family could regain a piece of its noble past.
30:49Who knows?
30:51We might even get into Datsuns and Toyotas.
31:03So is she.
31:05What?
31:07Wearing glasses.
31:09You almost lost me at the fork,
31:11the smell of the mules.
31:17At least I thought it was the mules.
31:41They're all wearing glasses.
31:43This isn't going to be
31:45the ophthalmological piece of cake you thought.
31:47Competition! I love it.
31:49Being the first one to the gold
31:51wouldn't be half as much fun
31:53if I didn't know there was a string of losers
31:55trailing behind.
31:57No one is going to find that gold
31:59without Arnold Dobbs' journal.
32:01And I'm happy to say
32:03it safely resides in the hands
32:05of my representative,
32:07Mr. Remington.
32:09Your representative,
32:11Mr. Remington Steele.
32:17As long as you have that journal,
32:19you have a shadow.
32:21Make it two.
32:23Mr. Steele would rather die
32:25than give up the journal.
32:27Nicely put, Miss Kilbride.
32:29Inaccurate, but nicely put.
32:31You rotten lowlife scum!
32:33Don't you give me that!
32:35You want the gold as much as I do!
32:37It's mine!
32:39I don't need no stinking partner!
32:41And you watch your back, lady,
32:43because I'm going to be breathing down it!
32:51Extraordinary performance.
32:53The slap was inspired.
32:55The chair was magnificent.
32:57Murphy, of course, he was a bit wooden,
32:59but he played well enough for the provinces.
33:01I want them to think he's against us
33:03so they'll confide in him when we go after the gold.
33:05Only to find the murderer.
33:07Oh, yes, of course. The gold is secondary.
33:09Tertiary, a mere afterthought.
33:11For goodness sake, get a handkerchief.
33:13You're starting to drool.
33:19All right.
33:21Who sabotaged my chopper?
33:23His injector.
33:29Captain DeVore?
33:31We're leaving now.
33:35All right.
33:41Transportation problems, Mr. Steel?
33:45Well, it just so happens
33:47I have some real cream puffs for sale here.
33:49How much?
33:51500.
33:53Seems a little steep.
33:55Well, in that case,
33:57there's the subcompact model.
33:59We'll take top of the line.
34:05Well,
34:07I think I can piece enough together
34:09to get us going in a general direction.
34:11As long as they tag along
34:13and Emmett isn't far behind,
34:15we'll have all the suspects together.
34:17Maybe we can find out
34:19who's missing that contact lens.
34:21Yes, well, let's try to do this
34:23as expeditiously as possible.
34:25Having a determined killer on our backs
34:27isn't the most comforting thought.
34:35Redneck and Two Eyes
34:37are closing in for the kill.
34:39I will head due north,
34:41away from our camp,
34:43so that Blackie can hide the gold.
34:45Who's Blackie?
34:47Apparently Dobbs had a friend with him
34:49on that final trek.
34:51This Blackie is charged with secreting the gold
34:53in an old Indian burial ground.
34:55The gold can wait.
34:57Right now, I need a little diversion
34:59that only the inimitable Remington Steel
35:01can provide.
35:03Do-do-do-do-do...
35:05Do-do-do-do-do...
35:07Do-do-do-do-do...
35:09Psst! It's Dobbs.
35:11What do you want?
35:13You knew I'd come.
35:15I did?
35:17Oh, ever since that first day in my office,
35:19I've been tormented
35:21with visions of us together.
35:23Come.
35:33The moment I looked into your Eskimo green eyes...
35:42Your Eskimo brown eyes, I...
35:47Your one green eye, your one brown eye...
35:53That green contact lens was yours.
35:56You dropped it in the saloon.
36:00That's an unusual genetic trait you have.
36:02But you know, speaks of someone with one green eye and one brown eye.
36:06All right. I'm not Arnold Dobbs' daughter.
36:10I'm Dan Curtin's daughter and I want revenge on the person who killed my father.
36:14Lou Cody, perhaps?
36:15No! All I found in that saloon was a pool of blood.
36:18Help me!
36:32Watch the pool!
37:02Oh!
37:23Epic battle, Mr. Steele.
37:26Yes. It was rather John Wayne-ish, wasn't it?
37:29Congratulations, Duke.
37:32You've just managed to destroy the entire camp,
37:35chase away the pack animals and lose all the supplies.
37:38Well then, it appears I've done all I can for this evening.
37:43I think I'll turn in, eh?
37:53I wonder what set Felix off like that.
37:55I was merely reading aloud from Mr. Dobbs' journal.
38:00He was reminiscing in the most horrid terms about his Mexican lady friend.
38:05Called her his little Sierra Tesora.
38:09When Senor Murrieta heard that, he went quite bananas.
38:15I'm afraid we'll see more of that as we get closer to the gold.
38:18Where's the journal now?
38:20Last place anyone would suspect from Miss Kilbride's gentle person.
38:25And I'll blast the first bugger who tries to get his thieving hands on it.
38:32Her too.
38:34Eventually the fever infects everyone.
38:39Don't spit on it, please.
38:55They're gone.
38:57They're all gone.
38:59Sylvia too.
39:01And Murphy.
39:03Help.
39:05Help.
39:26Perhaps Murphy should brush up on his Stannis Lasky.
39:29Apparently they didn't buy his performance as the gold crazed trader.
39:36Water.
39:38Water.
39:39We all need water, Murphy. Come on.
39:42Everybody except him.
39:44Look at him.
39:46All he wants is the gold.
39:48The pressure's too much for you, Murphy.
39:49Too much for me?
39:51Don't make me laugh.
39:52You want to leave me behind and keep all the gold for yourself, don't you?
39:57Laura, I think now would be an appropriate time to seek some shelter.
40:00Canadian Air Force exercises. You watch.
40:04Hot, hot, hot.
40:06Sugary lemon.
40:09A right, a left.
40:11A right, a left.
40:13A right.
40:23Oh.
40:35Champagne?
40:38Champagne?
40:42I know what you're digging.
40:44Where are they?
40:45Oh, I'm not in league with them, sir.
40:47No, I simply went ahead, all by myself,
40:49to scout the lay of the land.
40:51To be your pathfinder, so to speak.
40:53Your hawkeye.
40:55He's a liar.
40:57I found this on his mule.
40:59I don't understand.
41:01When Captain DeVore came to me in the night and asked me for the journal,
41:04he assured me that Mr. Steel simply wanted us to be a step ahead of the others.
41:09It wasn't stealing.
41:11No, no, not when the gold so clearly belongs to Emmett DeVore.
41:14Oh, sure.
41:16And now I suppose you're going to say you haven't even found it.
41:17Hey, hey, hey.
41:19Why don't you just take a snooze in the shade?
41:21Why?
41:23So you can all go on ahead and find the gold without me?
41:26I know you want to bury me out here like a dog.
41:29Murphy, please rest. You're not yourself.
41:31No, not go-get-the-autopsy-reports Murphy anymore, huh?
41:35You think I don't see through your little scheme?
41:37I'm wise to you guys.
41:39I'm going to find the gold.
41:42You better follow him.
41:44Oh, Murphy.
41:47Oh, God.
41:49Oh, God.
41:51Oh, God.
41:53Oh, God.
41:56Oh, my God.
42:08Stop this gold.
42:11Mine.
42:13Almost.
42:18Where's the rest of it?
42:20There's got to be more. This can't be all there is.
42:23It's a trick.
42:25It's a dirty, rotten, filthy trick.
42:27Murphy, you've got to grip on yourself.
42:29That hurt.
42:31The last will and testament.
42:35The beneficiary is...
42:38Arnold Dobbs?
42:40He left his worldly possessions to himself?
42:44This isn't Dobbs, Will.
42:45I, Emmett DeVore,
42:49being of sound mind...
42:56If that's Emmett DeVore, then who's...
43:00Arnold!
43:02So you're Arnold Dobbs, eh?
43:05He's Arnold Dobbs?
43:07He can't be Arnold Dobbs.
43:09Arnold Dobbs is dead.
43:11You're good, Mr. Steele.
43:12Really good. I'll give you that.
43:14I see you lost your bro, Mr. Dobbs.
43:17Emmett DeVore was the son of the sod.
43:19I, on the other hand, was born in Hackensack.
43:21Care to explain?
43:23We were out here forever.
43:25Days were passing. Provisions were scarce.
43:28The sun was driving us mad.
43:30And then we hit upon a plan.
43:32Blackie, the real Emmett DeVore,
43:34decided to stow the doubloons
43:36in an old Indian burial ground
43:38while I rode hell-bent for leather and gold.
43:40While I rode hell-bent for leather
43:42in a great cloud of dust,
43:44leading Dan Curtin and Lou Cody
43:46on a wild goose chase.
43:48Then Lou Cody was the second man after you.
43:50Redneck, we used to call him.
43:52He always wore a red bandana around his neck.
43:54That man was relentless.
43:56And when you escaped these mountains,
43:58you kept the name Emmett DeVore, eh?
44:00It was sure a hell of a lot safer
44:02than being Arnold Dobbs.
44:04I mean, they'd never stop looking for him.
44:06That's what Dan Curtin was trying to tell us
44:08right before he died.
44:10He was looking for A.D. for Arnold Dobbs.
44:12And so you killed my father
44:14rather than have him expose your true identity?
44:16No, child.
44:18He only said A.D. because it was such a shock
44:20to still see me alive and kicking.
44:22Murderer!
44:24No, no, you don't understand.
44:26Don't kill him until we find out where the gold is.
44:30If you're Arnold Dobbs,
44:32then you wrote the journal?
44:34Yeah.
44:36Why does it say Sierra Tesora?
44:37Well, that was a nickname
44:39for a friend of mine
44:41that I knew a long, long time ago.
44:43It means mountain treasure.
44:46My mother's gringo lover used to call her that.
44:49Who were you in 52?
44:51Sonoma.
44:53Ay, caramba!
44:55I was born in Sonoma in 1952!
44:57Son?
44:59Papi?
45:01Son?
45:03Papi!
45:05Some kids have all the luck.
45:07Well, you see, Miss Kilbride,
45:09Kitty Curtin assumed the name of Dobbs
45:12in order to seek revenge on her father,
45:14Dan Curtin's killer,
45:16while Arnold Dobbs
45:18took the name of his partner,
45:20Emmett DeVore,
45:22in order to avoid being killed
45:24by Dan Curtin and Lou Cody.
45:26Thank heavens you're who you say you are,
45:28Mr. Steele.
45:30Well, ordinarily,
45:32the sight of a long-lost son
45:34rushing to his father's bosom
45:35might reduce me to strong emotion.
45:37However, it doesn't, uh,
45:39bring us any closer
45:41to finding our killer.
45:43Not to mention the gold.
45:45Let me see that bandana.
45:47That's Lou Cody's bandana.
45:49Where did you get this?
45:51Uh, McCormick's helicopter.
45:53I wrapped the injector in it.
45:55Of course.
45:57The killer obviously took it from Lou Cody's body,
45:59probably to wipe his hands
46:01after he searched him for the journal.
46:02So you killed Lou Cody.
46:04And my father.
46:06Why?
46:08Why else?
46:10For the gold.
46:12I'm going broke with those Focaccia computers.
46:14You know what those Italians charged
46:16with their lousy satellite?
46:18I haven't had a strike in six years,
46:20and I wasn't about to let this one get away.
46:22Whoever you had to kill for it, eh?
46:24I'm taking the mules.
46:26And the water.
46:28And the journal.
46:29And that satchel.
46:31Now!
46:36It'll be a long time
46:38before anyone finds you up here.
46:40By then you'll just be
46:42a bunch of bleached bones.
46:44Murphy!
46:46He's got the gold!
46:48The gold?
46:56You murderer!
46:58You murderer!
47:08Epic battle, Miss Holt.
47:14Look, enough of this stupid detective business.
47:16Where's the gold?
47:18Okay, okay, it's all right, son.
47:20My calculations are right.
47:22That Indian burial ground
47:24is right over that rise.
47:27What?
47:48They built a shopping center
47:51over my gold?
47:57Ha, ha, ha!
