00:11Go in the house, Mary.
00:12Stay where you are.
00:15You have been served with a notice of eviction.
00:18Why are you still here?
00:19This is our house, mister.
00:21We've got no other place to go.
00:22That is your concern, not ours.
00:27You can't go in there!
00:29Leave her alone!
00:37Leave her alone!
00:37What's that like coming to south for?

01:36THE END
02:02Is he badly hurt?
02:04He's dead. They killed him.
02:07Larry, what happened? What was the fight about?
02:11They said we were trespassing.
02:15They said, Senora, be off this land by nightfall.
02:21Senora? Sounds like Don Antonio.
02:25Let's go.
02:26There we are, little Joe.
02:29Mary, the law is on their side.
02:32Andy and me, we homesteaded this place.
02:36Five years he sweated in these fields.
02:39Now we got a family coming. I'm not going.
02:43Mary, come with us.
02:48We'll be back. I promise.
02:54Give me your hand, boys.
03:02What are you going to say here?
03:13Ben? Adam?
03:14I've come to report a killing.
03:16Andy Logan has been shot down in cold blood.
03:18As a matter of accuracy, he was killed in self-defense.
03:21Sheriff Hawkins has all the facts.
03:23That's right, Ben.
03:24Senor Logan has already made a complete report on behalf of his men.
03:27Well, did he report that it was his men who committed the murder?
03:29There's a difference, Ben.
03:31Logan was given a notice of eviction, so he had no legal right to be on that land.
03:36And a couple of witnesses saw him attack Senor Luger's man.
03:39All he was doing was defending what was his.
03:41There's no evidence of that.
03:43Well, there's Mrs. Logan's word.
03:45Do you think that'll stand up in court, Adam?
03:48Stand up in court?
03:49They talk of lawlessness of the West.
03:51Well, this is lawlessness backed up by law.
03:54They're evicting families, throwing them out of their homes, killing men.
03:57And you protect them.
03:58Now, keep your shirt on, Ben.
04:00I don't like this any better than you do.
04:02But this is not really your fight, Senor Cartwright.
04:04Why do you insist on interfering?
04:06Interfering?
04:06Of course, it's our fight.
04:08You're trying to take part of our land, too.
04:10Technically speaking, yes.
04:11But although the De La Cuesta land grand takes in a few hundred acres of Ponderosa property,
04:17it is such a, well, such a small section of your great rancho, you will hardly miss it.
04:22We happen to value every foot of our property, Senor Luger.
04:25Your pardon, Senor.
04:27It is the property of my niece.
04:29Perhaps she will be gracious enough to permit you to retain it,
04:32if your attitude is cooperative.
04:35Well, you know what you can tell your niece.
04:37I'm respect, sir.
04:38You are talking about Isabella Maria Ineth y Castro De La Cuesta.
04:42Descendant of one of the oldest and noblest families in Spain.
04:53Sánchez, you are becoming quite amorous.
04:57For the noble Isabella de La Cuesta.
05:00Why not?
05:08Why don't you knock?
05:09Since when do you require privacy?
05:13One man meeting another in your presence.
05:15It's a common thing.
05:22Get out.
05:27My respects, dear lady.
05:38Sanchez, the darling of the barroom girls.
05:43Now he has you.
05:45Please do not give me one of your lectures.
05:47I am tired of being cooped up in this hotel room.
05:50But this room is much better than you're used to, my dear.
05:53These fine things, these flowers.
05:56For entertaining someone like Sanchez, I don't need them.
05:59I am Isabella De La Cuesta.
06:01Is that not right?
06:01Yes, that is right.
06:04Then, I refuse to remain a minute longer in this carpeted prison.
06:09Just a few more days.
06:11Everything is going beautifully.
06:12Don't spoil it.
06:13How could I spoil it?
06:16Everybody is expecting Isabella De La Cuesta to be a great lady.
06:20Whatever you are, my dear.
06:23Well, you know your weaknesses.
06:25When the time comes, I will be as much a lady as anyone.
06:29I've spent years of my life on this project.
06:32Tracing the land grant and then tracing you.
06:34I won't let you destroy it now.
06:36You understand?
06:46Why do you mean this Luka can just come in and throw homesteaders off their land
06:49and there's nothing we can do about it?
06:51Well, the Spanish land grants go back hundreds of years.
06:54Mexico recognizes them.
06:55We recognize them.
06:56And the De La Cuesta claim has been examined and validated by the Territorial Land Office.
07:01Apparently, it's in perfect order.
07:03I suppose it wasn't all in perfect order.
07:06Ah.
07:07And we could go to court and try to stop them.
07:14The records of the Spanish land grants are kept in Monterey, aren't they?
07:17Mm-hmm.
07:19They'd be worth looking into.
07:21Paul, would you like for us to ride down here and check on it?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Yeah, you and Joe.
07:28First thing in the morning.
07:29Check everything on file.
07:31Get a complete history of the De La Cuesta family.
07:34Meanwhile, Adam and I will file an action in Judge Blankney's court
07:38in the name of the Carson Valley settlers and ourselves.
07:41Well, what chance do you think we stand there?
07:43No.
07:44Very little, I suppose.
07:46If Isabella De La Cuesta is actually the true and rightful heiress.
07:51Well, there's still one more thing we could do.
07:53What's that?
07:54Talk to the great lady herself.
07:56After all, no one's seen her or talked to her except Senior Luger.
08:00What good will that do?
08:02You don't think she's going to help us?
08:04Well, how do we know until we find out?
08:07Well, here's hoping we can prove that Isabella De La Cuesta
08:10is not Isabella De La Cuesta.
08:23All right, Bill, where'd you put her?
08:25What are you talking about, Adam?
08:27The great lady.
08:28Senorita De La Cuesta, whatever she calls herself.
08:31What room's she in?
08:32I can't tell you that, Adam.
08:34I've got orders.
08:35I've also got friends.
08:39Room 33.
08:41Thanks.
13:37I believe the lady's in room 33.
13:40I have the key.
13:57Come in.
14:02Your lady is full of surprises.
14:05Well, at least I know she's not with you, huh?
14:07Si, but she's not alone.
14:09The one they call Adam Cartwright, he's with her.
14:12What?
14:13You want me to, uh...
14:14No, no, no. What would we gain?
14:16Well, she could be telling him certain things, huh?
14:19Is that what worries you, Sanchez?
14:21Or are you maybe, uh, a little jealous, huh?
14:26Don Antonio, I work for you, but if you make fun of me, I'll kill you.
14:32Oh, kill for her, don't be a fool.
14:34No, just keep an eye on her, and let me know when this young Cartwright leaves.
14:39Then I'll have a talk with our little lady.
14:42I'm glad that you like the wine of my native country.
14:46Let me refresh your glass.
14:49Oh, I like your wine very much.
14:54Senorita de la Cuesta.
14:55Now begins the Inquisition.
14:59Call it that if you like.
15:00No, I don't like. I think it's a very ugly word.
15:03Ugly?
15:04Then what do you call throwing people off their land?
15:07Is it their land or mine?
15:09It's theirs.
15:10By the work and sweat they put into it.
15:12And do you hold your land by sweat or by a deed of trust?
15:19By both.
15:22Tell me, senorita.
15:25When did you first discover you were the heiress to the de la Cuesta grant?
15:30When my uncle Don Antonio found me and told me.
15:34And where did he find you?
15:38I only ask because I found you in a cantina.
15:43And believe me, no Spanish lady ever behaved the way you did.
15:48You were of service to me in a cantina, Mr. Cartwright.
15:52But that does not give you the right to pry into my private affairs.
15:58You know, we could be friends.
16:04Could we?
16:06Mm-hmm.
16:08No.
16:10When a man kisses me, he has to have his mind on love.
16:13Not on business.
16:15Adios.
16:20Hasta luego, senorita.
16:49At least you have learned to knock.
16:52Of course.
16:57You've, uh, had a visitor?
17:00That is my business.
17:02The young Cartwright, the way that you meet him.
17:05That is also my business.
17:08It's mine also.
17:09The Cartwrights are our main opposition.
17:11They will do everything they can to stop us.
17:14Supposing we had the Cartwrights on our side.
17:17Impossible.
17:20Supposing we had one of the Cartwrights on our side.
17:25Isabella, you have learned to handle men to perfection.
17:40Well, well-bred Spanish ladies don't usually spend their time in a saloon.
17:45I know.
17:46I thought the same thing myself.
17:48I, uh, went back to the hotel with her and had a glass of wine.
17:52Oh, good, good, good.
17:54Did you find out anything?
17:56No.
17:56Well, one thing, she's, uh, quite a beautiful woman.
18:00Well, we knew that.
18:03What else?
18:04She's very sensitive about her past.
18:06Uh-huh.
18:07Won't talk about it at all.
18:10Adam, you may be heading in the right direction.
18:14Maybe so, but, uh, I don't know how happy I am about it.
18:17Why not?
18:18Was your idea?
18:19Yeah, I guess it was.
18:21But, uh, she's not exactly the kind of woman I thought she'd be.
18:25Adam, this is the woman who's trying to grab all that land.
18:28Is she?
18:30Or is it Senor Luger?
18:31Well, what's the difference?
18:32They're both in it together.
18:35Why are you defending her?
18:37Well, look, I'm not defending her.
18:39I'd just like to know more about her.
18:51Anything wrong, Senorita?
18:53I'm tired.
18:54I've had enough of riding.
18:55I don't like it.
18:56Why, I thought all Spanish ladies knew how to ride.
18:58Well, I am out of practice.
19:01Please let us rest a while.
19:15Why did you bring me out today?
19:16Just to find out if I could ride.
19:21Well, there's, uh...
19:25There's something about you, Isabella.
19:27Is there?
19:28What is it?
19:30Well, it isn't nobility.
19:31I'll tell you that.
19:33Then what is it?
19:38It's...
19:43Adam, why do we have to be on different sides?
19:48Maybe we don't.
19:52Come on, there's something I want to show you.
19:55But I'm very happy here.
19:58It's very important.
20:28What is this place?
20:30It's part of your holdings.
20:32I think you ought to get to know it.
20:34Is this the time?
20:37Why not?
20:39You not only have land, you have buildings too, see?
20:44Man and woman used to live here.
20:47I understand a child was on the way.
20:50So they will live somewhere else.
20:53The woman and the child, maybe.
20:56The man's dead.
20:58As a matter of fact, he died exactly where you're standing now.
21:02He was murdered by Sanchez.
21:07They never told me.
21:10He won't be the last to die either.
21:12They're trying to evict settlers all over the valley.
21:16There'll be lots of fighting, lots of widows.
21:19Then let them not fight.
21:24Only you can stop it.
21:26Oh, no, Adam.
21:27You cannot blame that on me.
21:29I do not want people to get hurt,
21:30and I do not want them to get killed.
21:32But I have to think of myself too.
21:35They cannot have what is mine.
21:38Well, you know you'll never enjoy this land.
21:41There'll be too much blood on it.
22:04So, Don Antonio, the southern section is all clear of settlers.
22:08Good, good.
22:08Now you can start on the north section.
22:19Yes, who are you?
22:20The name is Smith.
22:22High card Smith.
22:24Yes.
22:24I'm an old friend of Rosita's.
22:28Show the gentleman in, Sanchez.
22:32Come in.
22:38Now, what is this about, uh...
22:40Rosita?
22:41I used to know Rosita in San Francisco.
22:44I figured you wouldn't want the news to get around.
22:47But we have nothing to hide.
22:49Well, that might not go so well in court, senor.
22:53After all, people are liable to get all mixed up
22:55between Rosita Morales and, uh...
22:59Isabella de la Cuesta.
23:02I see, I see.
23:03You want to avoid, uh...
23:05confusion, hmm?
23:07That's a very good way of putting it.
23:10Clarity is a laudable aim.
23:14You're a very generous man.
23:20Very generous indeed, sir.
23:23You know, I want to tell you something.
23:25Just as long as you keep scratching my back,
23:29I'll keep scratching yours.
23:31Thank you, senor.
23:32Gracias.
23:33De nada.
23:36Adios.
23:40He'll be back, senor.
23:43Yes, I know, I know.
23:45Unless something happens to him first, huh?
23:51You expecting trouble, Mr. Cartwright?
23:55No, not really, Hopsin.
24:05What are you doing, pal?
24:08I'm getting ready, just in case.
24:12I thought we, uh...
24:13decided there wouldn't be any fighting.
24:16Well, if the settlers decide to fight against their evictions,
24:18I'm not going to stand by and watch him get shot at.
24:21You talk to him?
24:23I talked to him.
24:25But I don't think they'll stand for much more pushing around.
24:28And neither will I.
24:30Well, now, there's just a chance that there may not have to be any pushing around.
24:34Why?
24:36Well, I went riding with our, uh, senorita de la Questa this afternoon.
24:41Huh?
24:42What happened?
24:44I took her out to the Logan place.
24:46Did she like it?
24:49I told her what senor Luger's men had done.
24:52I think she was honestly upset about what happened out there.
24:56Hmm.
24:57That's nice, Adam.
24:58That's real nice.
25:01Was she upset enough to call off her hired killers?
25:13Well, if it ain't the great lady's knight in shining armor.
25:18And what do you want here?
25:19Just a few words, friend.
25:22The name is Smith.
25:24High card Smith.
25:25You must be the main cartwright, huh?
25:30Hmm.
25:33If you have something to say, say it.
25:36Hospitality.
25:37Western hospitality, friend.
25:39You know, as a matter of fact, everybody in Virginia City has been very inhospitable towards me.
25:44Especially at the poker tables.
25:46What are you selling?
25:50A history of Isabella de la Cuesta.
26:20Mr. Cartwright?
26:26Well, her name is Rosita Morales.
26:29She used to be a barroom girl and a dancer and a cheap waterfront dive in San Francisco.
26:33Well, just how do you know that?
26:37Son, I was there.
26:39I'll bet you were.
26:40Just a moment.
26:41Just a moment, Adam.
26:43That's what we wanted to find out, isn't it?
26:47You know who her family was?
26:49Family.
26:51A common share of Pedro Morales.
26:53He runs a little store in a dirty little spot a few miles south of here called Los Altos.
27:00I want you to stay in Virginia City till that trial comes up.
27:03Well, you know I can't do that.
27:06Make it worth your while.
27:09All right, friend.
27:12But don't you try to find me.
27:15I'll find you.
27:17I'll find you often.
27:31Well, now we know who our great lady is.
27:36Well, I'm going to get some fresh clothes.
27:38And then you and I are riding into Virginia City.
27:41We're going to see Luger.
27:43And we're going to tell him exactly what we know.
27:44And we'll put an end to this thing right now.
28:09I think we better keep our little appointment with Senor Luger.
28:39I was just riding.
28:40I need a glass of wine for a refreshment.
28:43Try the saloon.
28:46You wouldn't deny a friend a glass of wine, eh?
28:48Get out of here.
28:50Oh, what's on your lips is sweeter.
28:53Let go of me.
28:54Perhaps you for her young cut, right, eh?
28:56Go away.
28:58Still good, eh?
28:58No, no, go away.
29:06You are surprised, Senor Catwright, eh, to see your great lady in a lover's quarrel with
29:11one of her servants, eh?
29:17May we have a moment with you, Senorita?
29:21Yes.
29:24He forced his way in here.
29:27You do believe that, don't you, Adam?
29:31I think it's about time this masquerade came to an end.
29:34We know who you are.
29:37You're Rosito Morales.
29:38Maybe I am.
29:39But I am also Isabella de la Cuesta.
29:41Your father is Pedro Morales.
29:42My father is not Pedro Morales.
29:44He bought me from some Indians after my family was massacred.
29:48I was too little to be killed.
29:50But soon I became big enough to chase around the shack.
29:52So I ran away to San Francisco.
29:54Now, Miss Morales, how can you possibly expect us to believe that kind of story?
29:58Because it is the truth.
30:00And if you want to believe anything else, you will have to prove it.
30:02And while we're proving it, more killing, more bloodshed, is that what you want?
30:05I don't know anything about that.
30:06You can put an end to it.
30:07How?
30:08Withdraw your claim to that land.
30:10It's the only possible decent thing for you to do.
30:13The decent thing to do.
30:15Rosita Morales is not decent, is she?
30:18Then Isabella de la Cuesta will not be decent either.
30:21But she will be rich.
30:24And how many lives is that worth to you?
30:33Paul, that's enough.
30:36What do you want me to do?
30:37Help her?
30:38Feel sorry for her?
30:39What?
30:39I don't know, Papa.
30:40This is getting us nowhere.
31:04Adam.
31:07I think it's up to you to find Morales.
31:09And if he can disprove that story of hers, bring him back here.
31:12And if not, well, then do whatever you think best.
31:15But whatever it is, do it quickly.
31:17All right, Papa.
31:18But I don't want to miss anything, so don't start shooting until I get back.
31:24How much do they know about you?
31:29They'll probably go after Morales.
31:31I'll take care of it.
31:33I'll take care of it.
31:34No one can poor Morales do.
31:36He can't help us.
31:37I'll be the judge of that.
31:39Don Antonio, I don't want any more killing.
31:41Please, no more killing.
31:43Yes, no more killing.
31:48Why are you crying?
31:51Those cathroids.
31:53They have an unfortunate effect upon people.
32:16One moment, amigo.
32:18Don't turn around.
32:21You're not going anyplace.
32:24This will get you nowhere, Sanchez.
32:26No.
32:27It will get me your life.
32:30My life?
32:31Who sent you, Luga?
32:33No, not Luga.
32:35Isabella de la Cuesta.
32:37You're lying.
32:38Why?
32:39You think she cares about you?
32:41I don't think she'd send you here to kill me.
32:43You presume too much, senor.
32:45Do I?
32:50No.
32:51Shit.
33:00I don't know.
33:03I don't know.
33:09I don't know.
33:11I don't know.
33:13I don't know.
33:16Come on.
33:17I don't know.
33:18But I have a wrong weapon.
33:44Let me get him out of there.
34:04He's dead.
34:07Look, Jack, I'm in a hurry.
34:08Tell the sheriff I'll explain this to him later, will you?
34:19Let me get him out of there.
34:48Let me get him out of there.
35:06Wake up.
35:07Come on, wake up, wake up.
35:13Why?
35:14Who are you?
35:14What do you want?
35:15Now listen.
35:17I'm looking for a girl named Rosita.
35:19What do you know about her?
35:21Rosita.
35:23She remembers Morales?
35:26She remembers.
35:28A year ago, a man come and ask about her.
35:34But he gave me a bottle of whiskey.
35:36What did you tell him?
35:37Senor, you give me money for whiskey.
35:41I tell you more.
35:42What can you tell me that I don't already know?
35:45Five years back, a woman come, very old, from Mission San Jose.
35:52She say, she say she's looking for a little girl.
35:57Who was the old woman?
35:58Whiskey, senor.
35:59Come on, who was she?
36:00Who was she looking for?
36:02Whiskey, senor.
36:03All right, all right.
36:05Who was she and who was she looking for?
36:07Her name was Doña Teresa Esperanza.
36:14She was looking for a girl named Isabella Maria de la Cuesta.
36:26Isabella Maria de la Cuesta.
37:02You might have known I'd find you here again.
37:07I was just sitting here thinking.
37:10You mean getting drunk.
37:12Watch your tongue, senor.
37:14I don't want to be hated.
37:16Everyone loves the rich.
37:19That's good enough for you, isn't it?
37:21And not you.
37:23How are you falling in love with this young Cartwright?
37:27And if I have, what business is that of yours?
37:31Must I remind you what we have at stake?
37:37Sanchez is dead.
37:38And how did he die?
37:40Killing again?
37:42I told you I didn't want any more bloodshed.
37:45Suppose they bring old Morales back and the Cartwright bribe him.
37:50They would force a hearing immediately and anything could happen.
37:53But if I am Isabella, what are you afraid of?
37:57Justice is nebulous.
38:00Everyone is behind the Cartwrights.
38:02They love them in this town.
38:06Is it so bad to be loved?
38:10When we are rich, they will love us too.
38:31Well, howdy, Judge.
38:32Oh, hi, Ben.
38:33Come on in for some refreshment.
38:35I can't, Ben.
38:35I'm just rushing back from Carson Valley.
38:37Oh.
38:38But I did want to speak to you for a second.
38:40It's about that hearing.
38:42Ben, I'm afraid I can't delay it any longer.
38:46Well, Judge Blank now is...
38:47Tell me, when do you expect the boys back from Monterey?
38:50Well, they should be back real soon now.
38:52It's a long ride over the Sierra.
38:53Yeah, I know.
38:54What about Adam?
38:56When do you expect him back, Ben?
38:58Well, it should be any day now.
38:59Maybe tomorrow.
39:00Now, I'm counting on you holding off that hearing till he gets back, Judge.
39:02Ben, I can't.
39:03I can't hold off any longer.
39:06For the good of the people in the community, this thing has to be settled one way or another.
39:13Ben, I've got to call that hearing for 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
39:18I'll see you then.
39:19Come on, boy.
39:20Come on.
39:42Hello, boys.
39:43I'm glad you got back in time.
39:45How much good is it going?
39:47Why didn't you get the information I sent you, Paul?
39:48No, we got it, Paul, but that's just the point.
39:50What?
39:51It's just as they called it.
39:53That de la cuesta land grant's as solid as a rock.
39:55The family was given possession of all that land and...
39:59What was that word, little Joe?
40:00Perpetuity.
40:01Yeah.
40:03Well, the Spanish king himself, that senor de la cuesta, must have been quite a fellow.
40:08We'll have to wait for Adam.
40:09What good's he going to do?
40:11He's our only chance now.
40:14It is now 2 o'clock and time for these proceedings to begin.
40:18Your Honor, I would like to make a request.
40:22What is it, Ben?
40:23I've been waiting for my son, Adam.
40:25Something has delayed him.
40:26Well, I don't see why that should hold up these proceedings.
40:28Your Honor, I think the issue is quite clear.
40:30This is obviously a transparent attempt to delay and obstruct justice.
40:34Oh, surely, Your Honor.
40:35A few more days could be spared in a matter of such importance to so many people.
40:40A few more days?
40:41Your Honor, we've been forced to delay too long already.
40:43Your Honor, I am not opposed to the delay if it will help things.
40:48I think I know what is best for us, my dear.
40:51But if Adam has some information bearing on the case, why should we be afraid to hear it?
40:57Evidence can be falsified.
40:59Witnesses have been known to lie.
41:00Or to tell the truth, Senor Luger.
41:02This case affects the lives of so many people that I think nothing should be overlooked.
41:10Therefore, I hereby adjourn these proceedings until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
41:31That was a very foolish thing you did, my dear.
41:34At this point, all I want is the truth.
41:37Don't be so noble, Isabella.
41:39That saloon on the waterfront, it's still there.
41:50Don't be so noble, Isabella.
42:12Oh, the, uh, that's why you couldn't get here yesterday.
42:16Nope, I had another reason.
42:23May I present Donna Teresa Esferanza.
42:26Donna Teresa, this is my father, Ben Cartwright.
42:29I am honored, Senora.
42:32I'm sorry you had to take such a long journey.
42:35If at last I find my grandniece, no journey will have been too long or too difficult.
42:41Well, uh, may I?
43:00I think you will be comfortable here.
43:09Madam, who is she?
43:12She's the grand aunt and last living relative of Senorita de la Cuesta.
43:18What about Senor Luga?
43:21Well, he's not her uncle, that's for sure.
43:24Dona Teresa.
43:27Senor Luga?
43:28I did not expect to see you.
43:30I'm sure of that.
43:32Otherwise, she would not be here.
43:35Your Honor, this is the witness for whom we've been waiting.
43:39This is Donna Teresa Esperanza.
43:43Senora.
43:43Senora, a great-aunt of Isabella de la Cuesta, the only link to her past, and the sole person
43:52able to identify her.
43:54Identify her?
43:55Oh, Donna Teresa is an old woman.
43:58She hasn't seen Isabella for many years.
44:00In fact, since a little child, how could she possibly give a valid identification?
44:03Who is this adventurer to decide on my qualifications?
44:08Not so long ago, he dared to visit me and seek to enlist my aid in his evil and corrupt
44:16scheme.
44:17What scheme do you refer to, Senora?
44:19His plan for me to vouch for the identity of my grand-niece, the last of the de la Cuesta's.
44:28Would you be able to identify the girl if you saw her?
44:32Without question.
44:33Very well.
44:34Your Honor, I protest this entire proceeding.
44:38Senora Luga, you are out of order.
44:43If you please, Senorita.
44:51Senora, this is the girl to be identified.
44:54Would you tell us if you know her?
44:56Turn around, young lady.
45:02Raise your head, please.
45:05The carriage, the tilt of the head, the dark eyes.
45:12Your Honor, if I might see this young lady alone, I shall be able to tell you whether she is
45:20indeed my grand-niece.
45:28Your Honor, I would like to talk to this lady in private, as she suggests.
45:37Sheriff, will you clear the room, please?
45:39All right, gentlemen.
45:41Now step outside.
45:54Doña Teresa.
45:57Doña Teresa.
45:58Doña Teresa, is there some way you can identify me?
46:00Some way?
46:02Some way?
46:02I mean anything definite.
46:04I have lived so much of my life with uncertainties.
46:10What is it you seek out of life?
46:15Is it riches or power?
46:19Do you want to be a great lady?
46:21Is that such a very bad thing to want?
46:24No.
46:25Nothing at all.
46:27But let me tell you about the Delacuestas.
46:31The outstanding characteristic of the Delacuestas was generosity.
46:38Generosity?
46:40I'm an old lady, and perhaps sentimental, but I know in my heart that the Delacuestas would
46:50have not taken the land from the people who bought it with their blood and sweat.
46:58You seem to know a great deal about the situation.
47:01There must have been a very interesting ride you had with Adam Cartwright.
47:05Most interesting.
47:17I know who I am now.
47:20Thank you, Doña Teresa.
47:31Your Honor, there is no need to go on any longer.
47:35I am Rosita Morales.
47:39She's lying.
47:40What did you do to her?
47:42You are Isabella de la Cuesta.
47:43Tell her it's truth.
47:44Senor Luger, you'll have your share of truth-telling.
47:47Come with me.
47:48You fool.
47:49You could have had it all.
47:50You could have been the richest woman in this country.
47:54Where are you going?
47:57I'm going back where I belong.
48:00To San Francisco.
48:19This must have been a difficult thing for you to do, to expose an imposter.
48:23An imposter?
48:24What makes you think she's an imposter?
48:31Dona Teresa.
48:33Is she Rosita Morales?
48:36Or Isabella de la Cuesta?
48:39Who knows?
48:55I'm going to try and build her.
48:58I'm going to try and lead you to do this.
48:59I'm going to try and build her place.
48:59I know, do you want to try and do it?
49:00Like, or do you want to try and build her?
