00:13McCall?
00:14Yes, it's McCall.
00:15Found another one of a prized steer, Butcher, this morning.
00:19I told you talk wouldn't be enough for a man like Blake McCall, Pa.
00:22The only kind of talk he understands comes out of this.
00:25Looks to me like they picked up a little company.
00:27They didn't have a wagon the last time we ran them off here.
00:30Are you going to let him get away with it, Pa?
00:32He has the sickness of gold, senor.
00:35You have already given him more chance than he deserves.
00:38I say, it's a family affair.
00:41What I have, I owe to you, old friend.
00:43Something that would destroy the Ponderosa would also destroy me.
00:47Your fight is my fight.
00:50All right, let's visit with Mr. McCall.
00:53Now.
02:35I'm sorry, I'm lazy.
02:37Just that I'm worried about your health.
02:40I need to get you into that high desert country without delay.
02:46Well, I think you'd better get some rest.
02:48Come on.
03:01What's the matter, McCall?
03:09You're letting your love life interfere with your money-making?
03:13Take my advice, you get rid of her and Pennington, both of them.
03:17There's gold here.
03:20Besides, she ain't gonna last much longer anyway.
03:26Krug, don't you ever let me hear you say that again.
03:30It's the truth, ain't it?
03:39Oh.
03:43Oh, I'd say we were flattered to have the great Mr. Ben Cot right past the call.
03:47My name is John Pennington.
03:50We're on our way to that new mining area at Virginia City.
03:53We were told this was the best way to get there.
03:55Well, you were told wrong.
03:56You're on private property.
03:58Well, other people have come through here.
04:00They have.
04:01And they've slaughtered our beef, cut and burned out timber,
04:04and dug holes in our best pasture land.
04:06Are we to be blamed for the actions of other people?
04:09When you're standing alongside one of the worst offenders, yes.
04:13Now, we told you to get off last month, McCall,
04:15and we meant for you to stay off.
04:17Blake, what's he talking about?
04:19Very simple, Emily.
04:21The great Ben Cot right thinks he owns the world.
04:25Now, just this part of it.
04:27Mr. McCall.
04:29Now, I'll ask you to get out my land.
04:32All of you.
04:33Please, Mr. Cartwright, if I may speak.
04:36My name is Justin Flannery.
04:39My only purpose here is to obtain specimens of Sierra flora and fauna.
04:44You see, sir, by profession, I'm a botanist and entomologist.
04:49You see, sir, I only fell in with these people two days ago.
04:53You made a very poor choice, Mr. Flannery.
04:56That's an unfair thing to say, Mr. Cartwright.
04:58You don't even know us.
05:01If my partner caused you any damage, I'm sure we can arrive at a settlement.
05:04I'm afraid we can't.
05:06Or can't I even reason with you?
05:07Mr. Pennington, your reasoning became apparent when you introduced hydraulic mining to California.
05:13Oh, I've seen the operations of Pennington and McCall.
05:17Thousands of acres of virgin timber.
05:21Uprooted.
05:22Mountains washed away.
05:24Floods caused by the debris of your monitors.
05:28Orchards buried under mud.
05:34Us, see what you can do for him.
05:37Sure, Paul.
05:41You keep away from him.
05:45You ugly brute.
05:50Ma'am, I can't hardly help being ugly, can I?
05:58Eat him, hurt man.
06:12Blake.
06:15Nobody could be as unreasonable as these Cartwrights seem to be.
06:17You must have done something to turn them against us.
06:19Well, you don't have to do too much, huh?
06:20Those Cartwrights turn against you.
06:25All right.
06:26Maybe we did cut down a couple of their precious trees and crude shot one of their cows.
06:30Believe me, it was an accident.
06:31He thought it was a deer.
06:33Well, that's the kind of accident we could do without, huh?
06:36Now, be a little more careful next time, will you?
06:39Now, look, John.
06:41I don't tell you how to run the office.
06:42Don't tell me how to run my end of this partnership.
06:47Blake.
06:49I wish you two wouldn't quarrel so.
06:54Are you really in love with him?
06:58Well, you and he are all I have left.
07:01That's why I don't want any trouble between you.
07:03Well, don't worry, Emily.
07:06Blake and I get along fine.
07:08The main thing is to get you into that drier climate without delay.
07:13Hey, you go back in the tent and get some rest, huh?
07:16That's right.
07:17Just get some rest.
07:18Two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon.
07:21Don't exert yourself.
07:22Just sit and look pretty.
07:26John?
07:27Huh?
07:28Do you think there's any hope?
07:30Well, of course there's hope.
07:32If you keep believing, you'll get well.
07:35Just as I have to keep believing I have a right to love?
07:40I have to keep believing that, John.
07:43Because if I couldn't,
07:46I'd want to die.
07:58Mr. Cartwright, I demand you allow us to pass through here.
08:03How is he, son?
08:04He's all right, boy.
08:05It's just a crease.
08:06Mr. Cartwright, why don't you answer my brother's request?
08:10Why are you so unreasonable?
08:14Why am I so unreasonable?
08:18Mr. Bennington,
08:19I'd like to tell you about a friend of mine.
08:22He came across the plains with me.
08:25And all the way across,
08:27he nursed a wagon load of young peach trees,
08:29had a dream,
08:30wanted to plant an orchard in California.
08:33Well, I saw what was left of that orchard last year.
08:36Buried under a dozen feet of mud,
08:38washed down by your brother's hydraulic monitors.
08:41Oh, I remember.
08:42The man, I paid him twice what his land was worth.
08:44I paid for each of his trees.
08:46No, just what price do you put on the dream of a man's lifetime?
08:49My brother has no intention of bringing hydraulic equipment into the Sierra.
08:53No?
08:54Then why is he here, Miss Bennington?
08:57I swear to you,
08:58we have no intention of staying on your Ponderosa ranch.
09:01Sorry, but I find that hard to believe.
09:05See, the facts are,
09:07your partner has filed claims on some of the neighboring ranches.
09:12Ranches that contain watershed vital to the Ponderosa.
09:17Well, don't look so suspicious, John.
09:19The claims were filed in the name of the partnership.
09:22We'll have to relinquish them.
09:24I don't agree.
09:25They're perfectly legal.
09:26We'll keep them and we'll work them.
09:27I disagree.
09:30Nobody is going to destroy the Ponderosa.
09:32Oh, what do you plan to do, Mr. Cartwright?
09:35Stop every man who comes over those mountains?
09:37I'll fight for what's mine
09:39and what I believe in.
09:41And when a man who believes differently comes along,
09:44what do you do then?
09:45Kill him?
09:47If I have to.
09:50Pattern of history, Mr. Cartwright.
09:53A man with a dream goes into a country knowing he'll be killed.
09:56But after him come two more, and then two more.
09:59And the military are along to protect them.
10:02And then they build a fort to house the military.
10:05And soon they own the country.
10:07Yes.
10:08It's happened many times.
10:10Be careful, history doesn't repeat itself.
10:13Mr. Cartwright,
10:15can't you see your way clear just this once?
10:18I told you my sister wasn't well,
10:19and now we have a wounded man on our hands and...
10:21Don't beg, John.
10:25You camp here until you rest up
10:27and get your stock in shape.
10:32Anything we can do for your sister...
10:34Save your concern, Mr. Cartwright.
10:49Blake, why didn't you tell me about these claims?
10:53Well, I meant to, John.
10:54I just didn't get around.
10:55You were supposed to be following through
10:56on that assay report in the War Show.
10:58Now, John,
10:59we have as much right to this watershed land as Cartwright has.
11:03Do you know what hydraulic operations would do to these hills?
11:05I don't care what they'll do to these hills.
11:07I just want the gold in these hills.
11:10You'd do just about anything to get it, wouldn't you?
11:13Blake, why don't we just forget about it
11:14and go on to War Show the way we planned?
11:16Well, now, that's easy for you to say, isn't it?
11:19You and your brother both, sure.
11:21Your father left you a mining company
11:22and a million dollars to play around with.
11:25Blake, what's got into you?
11:26Just this.
11:27I want to make it clear
11:28that the only thing my father left me
11:30was a bunch of debts and bruises on my back.
11:33What I got,
11:33I dug out of the ground with these hands
11:35and nobody's going to stop me from digging out more of it.
11:38But it's not important.
11:39I've told you that before.
11:40It has nothing to do with you and me.
11:41Oh, doesn't it?
11:43What do you spend your time talking about?
11:45That fine mansion where you were raised,
11:46the servants you had,
11:48the beautiful horses.
11:50Well, you're the one
11:51that always asks me about those things.
11:53You say you like to hear about them.
11:55And you like to remind me
11:56that I never had them.
11:59Blake, that's not so.
12:00Just a second.
12:01John, please.
12:06You said that you loved me.
12:10I do, Emily.
12:13More than anything else in the world.
12:14You're everything I've ever wanted.
12:16Those things don't matter.
12:20Just give me a chance to get well.
12:24And just give me a chance
12:25to be everything that you want me to be.
12:35You'll be all right, Emily.
12:38Someday we'll
12:40have everything we've ever wanted.
12:47You're going to let old Ben Cartwright
12:48back you down, huh?
12:50Who says so?
12:51Pennington.
12:51You take your orders from Pennington?
12:54Well, now, you know,
12:55I was beginning to wonder about that.
12:56A few years ago,
12:57when I first knew you,
12:58there was no doubt about it.
12:59I took my orders from you.
13:01You still do.
13:02Oh, sure.
13:05Maybe when you two get married,
13:07you can use your wife's money
13:08to keep me on the payroll.
13:16It's more like it.
13:18You just say the word, boss.
13:21You just remember that.
13:22I'm boss.
13:23That's the way I like it.
13:24Boss.
13:28You know the bug hunter, Flannery?
13:31He says he's going on alone.
13:33Yeah, let him go.
13:34Well, I figured to.
13:35Except I was thinking
13:36it'd be a shame
13:37if the Cartwright
13:38should shoot him down on sight.
13:40Wouldn't it?
13:42What makes you think they will?
13:44Well, you never can tell.
13:46Of course, if they did,
13:47it'd go kind of hard on them.
13:49Cold-blooded murder and all.
13:55Yep.
13:57There must be a lot of folks
13:58up here in these hills
13:59that don't like the Cartwrights
14:00any better than we do.
14:03Think what'd happen
14:04if they was to
14:05murder and cold-blood
14:06a poor harmless
14:07little coot-like
14:09Flannery over there.
14:11Come on, Christian.
14:13Let's go.
14:19I think I'll take myself
14:21a little ride.
14:22Crude?
14:23Yeah.
14:26Where?
14:29In the Cartwrights front yard?
14:43Well, let's see
14:44if we can make up
14:44for yesterday
14:45and dry some cows today.
14:46Right.
14:48Hey, Paul.
14:50Is that that bug, Hunter?
14:55Yes, it's Mr. Flannery.
14:57Do you want me
14:58to run him off, Paul?
14:59No, no, no.
15:00It's all right.
15:25Mr. Cartwright,
15:27I must apologize
15:28for coming.
15:47I'll try coming.
16:07That's Flannery.
16:09He was walking
16:10toward us.
16:11New shot from behind.
16:14How'd it happen?
16:16An unarmed man
16:17whose only crime
16:18was setting foot
16:20on your precious ground.
16:21I wouldn't do that.
16:30You butchers.
16:32All of you.
16:34You're quick to accuse,
16:35Miss Pennington.
16:36But wasn't it you
16:37who mentioned
16:38about a man being sent
16:39into the enemy camp
16:40in order to be
16:40a known casualty?
16:42This was a planned murder.
16:45Someone here
16:45is guilty.
16:47Well, now,
16:47who do you think
16:48is going to believe you?
16:50If decent people
16:51in this part of the country
16:52hear about this,
16:52they're going to
16:53ride on your place
16:53and wipe out
16:54the whole stinking
16:55Cartwright clan.
17:01It looks like you've got
17:02it all figured out,
17:03don't you, McCall?
17:05How would you like
17:06to start wiping us
17:07out right now?
17:08That's enough.
17:11Take their guns.
17:18What are you going to do?
17:20Kill us, too?
17:22You're going back
17:22to California.
17:24All of you.
17:25Oh, you're drawing
17:26a pretty fine line
17:27on murder,
17:28aren't you, Cartwright?
17:29Now, we're out of supplies.
17:31I told you my sister's sick
17:32and you're going to make us
17:34go back through that country
17:35without food and guns
17:36and our stock worn out?
17:38Isn't that murder?
17:39Mr. Pennington,
17:40Paul wouldn't do that.
17:42We brought along
17:43fresh stock and supplies
17:44by mule pack.
17:45I'm going to be
17:46riding along with you.
17:48You?
17:49As our guard?
17:51Well, no, ma'am.
17:52You see, I'm going
17:53to be going along
17:53to make sure
17:54no harm comes to you.
17:57Man,
17:59I wouldn't hurt you.
18:00Not for nothing.
18:09Can't little Joe
18:09or Adam go along
18:10instead of me?
18:11We talked that out, Huss.
18:13We think you
18:14can do this best.
18:16Jump.
18:17Jump.
18:18Jump.
18:18Jump.
18:19Jump.
18:20Jump.
18:21Jump.
18:22Jump.
18:22Jump.
18:26Jump.
18:30Hey!
18:31You careful
18:32what you're driving,
18:33you hear?
18:34Ain't no use
18:35in making it any
18:36rougher on the lady
18:36than you got her.
18:50I noticed your partner ain't talking to you.
18:54Of course, I never could figure you and him being partners in the first place.
18:58Not that I blame you, nothing.
19:00Got some money out of it.
19:02Pretty girl.
19:04Krug, you're going to push me once too often.
19:06I am? I don't mean to.
19:09As a matter of fact, I wanted to talk to you about maybe working out a partnership on them claims
19:14you filed.
19:16What makes you think I'd want to share with you?
19:18Well, I was thinking about you and that bug hunter.
19:24I didn't kill him.
19:26No, I guess you didn't.
19:28You're just about as responsible as if you did.
19:35All right.
19:36Let's get moving.
19:43Well, you have to admit, I do pretty well with what I have.
19:50You could have a lot more.
19:53Maybe out in the desert, out on the way back to California.
19:58Are you blaming me for that?
19:59You think it was my fault that Flannery was shot?
20:02No, I'm just a little sick of the way fighting and killing follows everything you do.
20:07You and your pretty little world, all wrapped up in tinsel.
20:13How do you think I got that land we hydraulicked in California?
20:16You sat back in your plush office when I went out there and fought for what we had.
20:19Every inch of it.
20:19Aren't you forgetting why we're making this trip?
20:21Didn't we agree on it?
20:22We both knew Emily had to get to a drier climate.
20:26Are you forgetting or are the things more important?
20:29Can't you control that miserable coughing?
20:39These fur branches will make a good bed for you, ma'am.
20:44Just put them in the ground where the needle end up.
20:47You'll sleep a lot better.
20:49The smell of that fur will be good for that cough, too.
20:52Good night.
21:01You boys got you some extra oats coming tonight.
21:04Long, hard climb we had today.
21:06You're going to be a lot better since old.
21:09The horse gets you all scrubbed down here.
21:14Hey, they like for you to talk to them and make some field cut.
21:17Good night.
21:21Good night.
21:24You really love horses, don't you?
21:27Oh, yes, I like all animals.
21:30You can trust them.
21:34But you can't trust people?
21:37Well, I wouldn't say that.
21:39It's just that some folks have got a natural mean streak in them that animals just don't know nothing about,
21:46I guess.
22:08You're giving it up?
22:09Well, what do you...
22:12What do you expect me to do?
22:15That big moose could break your back with one hand.
22:17Yeah.
22:18Rough on men, but easy on horses.
22:20He pays more attention to the stock than he does to us.
22:23Yeah, I noticed that.
22:26Maybe if one of the horses was to go lame tomorrow.
22:32Evil enough if we could handle that big moosey.
22:35We still need guns and ammunition before we can tackle the rest of the Godwrights.
22:39That foreman of theirs, Jose Moreno, he don't live far from here.
22:44He'd have guns.
22:50What about Pennington and Emily?
22:55Well, now, that's your problem.
22:56Me, I'm just a simple man.
22:59All I care about is the gold.
23:10Ma'am, you're going to see some mighty pretty country today.
23:13As a matter of fact, if you look off right through the trees down there, you can see the lake
23:17now.
23:20Pretty, ain't it?
23:21That off horse over there's got a mighty tender mouth, so don't go sawing the lions too hard, you hear?
23:26Yeah.
23:47Hey, horse!
23:50You better come here a minute!
24:01What's the trouble?
24:02The horse has gone lame.
24:04How long has he been lame?
24:05Oh, about a half hour, I guess.
24:07Why didn't you tell me?
24:12Oh, boy, looks like you picked up a stone.
24:21Paws!
24:43Now, either you get the guns from Marino your way,
24:46or we'll get them our way.
25:05Hey, Senor Haas!
25:07My good friend, I'm so glad to see you!
25:13Ay, caramba!
25:14The miners, they still dig like gophers down at the flats.
25:18Senor Haas, is everything all right?
25:21Jose, we're going to have to be careful.
25:26I wouldn't.
25:32Well, you finally came to it, didn't you?
25:33Outright murder.
25:35I told you I wouldn't let anything stand in my way.
25:38It's the only way to fight the Cartwrights.
25:42Don't you see?
25:45I was only thinking of you, Emily.
25:50You never could think of anybody but yourself, Blake.
25:54And you never will.
25:55I'll stop you, McCall, somehow.
25:57I can handle that, boys.
26:01We're still partners, John, if you want it.
26:03I said I'd stop you.
26:06It's the last thing I ever do.
26:11Tie him up.
26:19Emily, I...
26:25Come on.
26:30I wish Horson would get back soon.
26:31It takes four men to replace him.
26:33Well, if you can't hold up your end of the work, brother, you know.
26:47I wish I could do it.
26:49Get up, get up!
26:50Get up, get up!
27:53They took Jose's guns, too.
27:55They wanted something open.
27:56They wouldn't have brought Jose's body to the house if they didn't.
27:59All right, Adam's right.
28:00Come on, let's get going.
28:02I'm sorry.
28:03I was thinking just about horse.
28:04Cut!
28:06In!
28:16You look mighty unhappy, ma'am.
28:20What you need is a little loving to cheer you up.
28:26Leave me alone!
28:29Let go of me!
28:30Let go of me!
28:41Never mind me.
28:42Get Emily out of here.
28:43Go on!
28:44Go on!
28:50Well, now, maybe we should have tied the girl up, too.
28:53Shall we go after him?
28:54Not yet.
28:56Let's see how far he'll get with a sick girl on his hands.
29:16It's all right, huh?
29:17I'm right here by you.
29:23I could get you something to eat if you're hungry.
29:25The woods are full of good things to eat if you know what you're looking for.
29:28I just want to rest for a long time.
29:32Well, we...
29:33We can't stay here too long.
29:36They're going to be after us.
29:37I don't care.
29:39I...
29:40I really don't care.
29:43That ain't no way to talk.
29:46Let me help you, Miss Emily.
29:51I...
30:00I...
30:01I...
30:02I...
30:02I...
30:02I...
30:02I...
30:03I...
30:03I...
30:04I...
30:06I...
30:06I...
30:06I...
30:06Get away from me, can't you?
30:17Leave me alone!
30:22Well, I...
30:23I just hate to see you hurting so, Miss Emily, that's all.
30:28I'm sorry.
30:30I didn't mean to shout at you.
30:34I can't hardly stand to see nothing hurt.
30:37It's as pretty as you are.
30:43Now, you stay right here.
30:45I'm going to take a look around.
30:46I'm going to take a look around.
30:56I'm going to take a look around.
31:04Hell, I...
31:05I'm going to take a look around.
31:13I'll take a look around.
31:13I want to take a look around.
31:15I don't know.
31:15I'm going to take it to you, Miss Emily.
31:16Well, there's no sign of them, but that don't mean they ain't right behind us.
31:21We best be on our way.
31:23You can't keep running forever.
31:25You carried me half the night.
31:28Why don't you rest a few minutes?
31:31I'll keep watch.
31:48Do you really think I'm pretty?
31:54I think you're real pretty, Simi.
31:57I think you're as pretty as I am ugly.
32:01You're not ugly, Hoss.
32:04Forgive me for saying it.
32:08Please.
32:09Oh, it's all right.
32:13I've heard it before.
32:16We best move on.
32:32And by what right does a murderer like old man Cartwright tell you where you can mine and where you
32:37can't?
32:38This man, Flannery.
32:41He didn't even own a gun.
32:43An old man Cartwright shot him down.
32:47You want to know why?
32:50All right, I'll tell you why.
32:52Because the real gold strike is on the Palo Rosa.
32:55Not in that blue stuff they've been running into over at Washoe.
32:58That's why Cartwright and his boys are willing to kill and now keep right on killing.
33:05Move in on those murderers.
33:07And get out of this blasted blue stuff and into the real gold strike.
33:12I'm with you, McCall.
33:14In fact, we're all with you.
33:15Right, boys?
33:25Hello, man, Horseshoe Canyon.
33:45Hello, man, Horseshoe Canyon.
33:46It's working out better than you hoped for, boss.
33:48Old man Cartwright and the two boys, and they're coming in alone.
33:51Well, good.
33:52They'll never know what hit him.
33:54Come on.
33:55And bring my partner with us.
34:14Of course, I'd like to explain to you about Blake McCall.
34:17You don't have to explain nothing to me, Miss Henry.
34:21You see, I only saw the good side of him.
34:25Well, I reckon that's the way it is sometimes.
34:27You look at a cactus and you see a rose, because a rose is what you want to see.
34:33I don't reckon there's anything wrong with wanting to see something good and pretty.
34:37Sometimes I even do that myself.
34:40I get sort of lonely-like, and I look for good and pretty things.
34:48What sort of pretty things do you look for?
34:52Well, if it's a springtime, there's this canyon I go to.
34:57It's plumb full of dogwood, and there's a thousand blossoms on every tree.
35:02There's a smell of the damp leaves in the air and little ferns around on the ground.
35:08Sounds lovely.
35:11I was hoping you'd say that.
35:14Why?
35:15Because it's sort of a special place for me, and I'd like to take you there.
35:20I'd like to show you the little gold-backed ferns.
35:23You press them on your hand, and the gold comes right off just like a stardust right out of the
35:28sky.
35:30I ain't never took nobody else there.
35:34But I'd like to take you.
35:40I don't think there's anything else I'd rather see.
35:47Miss Emily.
35:49I want you to stay right here on the Ponderosa.
35:57Ross, don't you realize I'm very sick?
35:59I know that, but I want to take care of you.
36:03I want to take care of you all of my life.
36:09I couldn't bear it having you feel sorry for me.
36:12No, I ain't feeling sorry for you, Miss Emily.
36:16What I'm trying to say is that I like you, and I'll be right back.
36:52Oh, Ross, what is it?
36:54It's Pa, and Adam, and little Joe.
36:56McCall's got at least a dozen men down there.
36:58Pa and him don't stand a chance.
36:59I've got to stop it.
37:01Ross, you can't.
37:01You'll be killed.
37:03Miss Emily, I've got to.
37:04You can't go.
37:16McCall!
37:17Here I am, McCall, up here!
37:20I'm coming, McCall!
37:27Hold your fire.
37:29Want to tip off old man Codwright and his boys?
37:31I've got to tip off old man Cod ainsi, so the kids.
37:33I've got to tip off old man.
37:37I've got to tip off old man.
37:49Get out of old man, good boy!
38:15I'm not going to die.
38:16Horse, you all right?
38:18You're fine.
38:21Oh, Horse, looks like you have things under control.
38:23Yeah.
38:24Regna, I suddenly lost my temper.
38:27All right, you penjumpers.
38:29Get back to your diggings.
38:30It was McCall's idea, Mr. Cartwright.
38:32I didn't want no part in it.
38:33Get off this land, all of you.
38:35Yes, sir.
38:35Yes, sir.
38:37All right, Pennington.
38:39Hall, wait a minute.
38:40Little Joe, you got it all wrong.
38:42Mr. Bingham here saved my life.
38:46Oh, Pennington.
38:49I guess we owe you thanks.
38:55Is Emily all right?
38:56He's fine.
39:09We got to get a doctor for her.
39:14What's old Doc Riley doing up there?
39:16He sure has been up there a long time.
39:25Well, how is she, Doctor?
39:26She wants to talk to you, Mr. Pennington.
39:43Well, what did the doctor say?
39:46What the doctor had to say isn't really very important.
39:49Would you take that?
39:53I'd like to go back to San Francisco.
39:56What?
39:57Emily, you know what the doctors there told you?
39:59This is a climate for you.
40:01Why, in three months' time, you'll be completely recovered.
40:03John, you know better.
40:06Oh, I don't know better.
40:07I refuse to give up.
40:09It isn't a matter of giving up.
40:12It's being able to face the truth.
40:15I had to face the truth about Blake, and I think that makes it much easier for me to face
40:19this.
40:20I'll find another doctor.
40:22Well, I'll do something.
40:23No, John.
40:25You've done much more than the brothers should do anyway.
40:28I don't want to be a burden to you during the time I've left.
40:32I'm going back.
40:35Well, then I'll go with you.
40:36No, I don't want you to do that.
40:38I want you to go on to Warshaw and to this new Virginia city.
40:43Just the way you planned.
40:44Well, you think I'd leave you?
40:49I want to go back today.
40:51Today?
40:51Why?
40:53You're in no shape to travel.
40:56Please let me do what I have to do.
41:00I'm not...
41:02I'm not really so brave, you know.
41:04It's just that I've accepted it.
41:07And I don't want to take a chance on tomorrow.
41:11There must be something I can do.
41:13Yes, I'll tell you what you can do.
41:16Get my clothes from the wagon because I want to look my very best.
41:23John.
41:27Please don't tell us.
41:55There's a wagon preen crossing the Sierra into California and the wagon master is going to meet us down at
42:00Truggy Meadows.
42:01You take good care of her.
42:03That'll be fine, Hoss. Thank you.
42:09God bless you, John.
42:16God bless you, John.
42:20Bye.
42:46I wish you didn't have to go back so soon.
42:49I wish that too.
42:52Maybe I ought to go along with you.
42:55No.
42:58You need it on the Ponderosa.
43:14Hoss, tell me about the canyon that the dog wouldn't bloom.
43:21I ain't...
43:22I ain't...
43:23I ain't so good about talking about it.
43:27The gold-backed ferns that you press against your hand...
43:33...and the gold comes off...
43:36...just like it was stardust right out of the sky.
43:40You might.
43:44Come back this spring...
43:45...and it'll be there just like I told you about it.
43:48Will you come back?
43:49I'll take you there.
43:56You go there, Hoss.
43:59And when the spring comes...
44:02...and the dogwood's in bloom, you go to the canyon.
44:06And I promise you I'll...
44:08...I'll be there.
44:27I love you, Hoss.
44:32Perecutist solar power is passed off...
44:32...and even here, Hoss.
44:35What's potential with us?
44:36So, I will all finish off, Hoss...
44:41...be well, it's not as you were!
44:45And yet, you only have the sum of your stories and...
44:53...and many times, stop, Hoss!
44:55But while I...
45:01She loves me! Miss Emily loves me!
45:03She's gonna come back this spring!
45:05You hear that, little Joe? She loves me!
45:07Me, old hoss! I'm gonna get mad, little Joe!
45:14What's the matter?
45:17What's wrong?
45:23What have you been telling these people?
45:26You must have known Miss Pennington was very ill.
45:30Hoss! You'd quack if you told her something.
45:33Do you think it's a pleasure for me to tell a dying girl she's got only one month to live?
45:44You're all liars!
45:49Paul, make them tell me they're lying.
45:56It's God's will, son.
46:24I've had to bury three women I loved.
46:27I've had to bury three women I loved.
46:29You, Ma.
46:32Adams.
46:35And his.
46:39For a while,
46:43it's a hurt you have to bear alone.
46:59I just don't understand, God.
47:03You gotta help me.
47:16Pa.
47:17Pa.
47:45So, let's go.
48:10Oh, boy, horse.
48:18There's plenty to do
49:10There's plenty to do
49:34There's plenty to do
