00:28You think I'd trick you?
00:29You think I'd trade you this beautiful cloth for them few measly skins?
00:34Not many beaver left in mountains. Too many hunters.
00:38Well, that's your problem, Injun.
00:40You want some more cloth, you bring us some new skin.
00:43Good skin, Savvy.
00:45But I told my wife here that I'd get a new bright cloth.
00:48Oh, get out of here. I got no time, no nothing for Injun. Take these skins with you.
00:52Oh, wait a minute, Byrne. Party's been kind of dull the past couple of days.
00:57Well, Brother Mike, you found some more booze, huh?
00:59Yeah, I found some more booze.
01:02We go now.
01:03Oh, what's your hurry, friend? You can have all the cloth you want.
01:07Just give us some good pelts and we'll keep your squaws till you bring them in.
01:11No, these wives.
01:13I don't care what they are.
01:15We'll just hold on home till you bring in the pelts, huh?
01:19No, Mr. Wilson!
01:31You come back here again and I'll kill you!
01:35You hear me, my brother stud!
01:37We'll kill you!
01:42That's a little better, huh?
01:44Now we gotta walk right!
02:13Ha, ha, ha, ha!
02:18Ha, ha, ha, ha!
02:45Oh, you just make sure one of those spangly women don't take care of you.
02:48And get back as soon as possible.
02:50Now, business is business, but we need you back here in the Ponderosa.
02:53Now, get!
02:55Ha, ha, ha!
03:01Hope they make out.
03:03Oh, don't worry, Pa.
03:04San Francisco's no worse than Virginia City.
03:07Well, I'm going to check on those new steers down at the bottom camp.
03:09I'll see you at dinner.
03:10Yeah, well, don't wait for me.
03:11I got some business in Virginia City.
03:12I got some business in Virginia City.
03:13Come on!
03:16Come on.
03:19Come on.
03:44Bruno.
03:54What happened to you?
04:00Who did this?
04:01They took my wife.
04:03Your wife?
04:05Wilson's.
04:07Wilson Station.
04:10They're drunk at them.
04:13They have guns.
04:15Namta's wife.
04:16My wife.
04:18And they did this when you tried to stop them?
04:20My wife.
04:21They have her.
04:23They will...
04:24You don't have to tell me.
04:26We'll get them.
04:27Can you ride?
04:30Namta ride to Ringnose.
04:34For Braves.
04:35Ringnose is a hothead.
04:36Why didn't he go to Winamaka?
04:37This is Paiute land, not Bannock.
04:39Namta say...
04:40Shosham people not coward like Paiute.
04:44He say...
04:45Bannock's ride...
04:47Kill Wilson men.
04:50If they attack Wilson Station, this whole country will go up in flames.
04:54Come on, Bruno.
04:54We gotta beat them there.
05:11Adam Cartwright.
05:19Bring those Coles Braves!
05:21He has to kill him.
05:23time. I don't know what you're going to do. You think we weren't treating him right or
05:37something? I've tried to be friendly. I even offered him some of this good booze. Yeah.
05:45All right, squads. Come on out. Outside. We're going to teach you some letters. Come on.
05:52Come on. Come on. You're going to have a drink. No. Look, when a white man offers you a drink,
06:02you take it. Let her go. Cartwright. What are you doing here? I said let her go. I wouldn't
06:15try it. Now drop it. Easy. Now kick it over here. You too.
06:39What's all this fuss over a couple of women? Indian women. Bruno, get them back to the
06:44Ponderosa. We'll take care of them there.
07:19Burn. Burn. Burn. Burn. I'm sick. That cartwright stole our will. Let's go get them.
07:30Go on. I'm sick. Phil. Phil, wake up.
07:51Dirty straw stealer. Let's see. Chill when I get them.
08:04Dirty Indian lover. We'll see about that Adam Cartwright.
08:27Look inside.
08:29Check out.
08:55We go.
08:55Let's go!
09:26Quiet down, quiet down, quiet down.
09:29Give the man a chance.
09:33All right, Wilson.
09:35I heard that holler.
09:37There was hundreds of them all over the place.
09:40Coming right at me.
09:41All painted up and naked.
09:43Who was it, Winnemucca?
09:46Yeah.
09:48Yeah, that's who it was.
09:50Winnemucca.
09:51Oh, Winnemucca itself.
09:54Well, I had to get. I started to ride.
09:58I saw some of them break in the station and drag out Byrne and Phil.
10:04I heard him scream.
10:06My own brother and my partner.
10:09And I couldn't do nothing to help him.
10:12He was off.
10:15But why? Why Winnemucca, of all people?
10:19Men! Them Paiutes are running wild!
10:21Killed seven or eight men over in Sun Canyon.
10:23Seven or eight men? Do you know who they were?
10:25Not all of them.
10:26But they flat butchered Joe and Ellie Lawrence right outside their cabin.
10:30Killing women.
10:31I don't need to know no more.
10:33Let's go get them!
10:34Yeah!
10:35Hold it! Hold it!
10:37I agree.
10:38The Paiutes must be punished.
10:40If it's war, it's war.
10:41But you just can't stampede out the door.
10:43We've got to get organized.
10:45Maybe you're right, Major.
10:46You go ahead and start organizing.
10:48Well, I agree.
10:49I wasn't a major in the army for nothing.
10:51We'll do this the army way.
10:52We'll get as many men as we can.
10:54Oh, we'll get you close to a hundred!
10:55Don't reckon we need that many to handle a mangy mess of Paiutes.
10:59But anybody who wants to join us, tell them to come along.
11:01We'll march at daybreak.
11:16Stuart, you carry a lot of weight around here.
11:19More than anybody.
11:20They say you're the first citizen of Virginia City.
11:23Now, you and I, we haven't always seen eye to eye.
11:26But we both know that an Indian war would be disastrous.
11:29But, Ben, I just don't believe it's as serious as you make out.
11:32You didn't see them down there.
11:34Ormsby's raising an army.
11:36It's hysteria.
11:40Well, Ormsby's no drunken fool.
11:42He's a good soldier.
11:43At least he used to be.
11:45That has nothing to do with it.
11:46We just can't stand by and let them march.
11:49Did you talk to them?
11:50There wasn't a chance of being heard.
11:52Anyway, I'm not the man for it.
11:54You need someone like you.
11:55Someone from town.
11:56Someone they know.
11:58All right, Cartwright.
11:59I'll be there at daybreak.
12:00But I don't believe there'll be much of an army once our brave soldiers sober up.
12:07Well, it doesn't take much of an army to start an Indian war.
12:20They'll be all right now.
12:21They're in good hands.
12:24I think it might be a good idea if you were to stay here tonight.
12:26Thank you, Adam Cartwright.
12:39Fools, everybody's gone mad.
12:40What's wrong?
12:41Oh, the Paiutes ran wild.
12:44Wiped out Wilson Station.
12:45Killed seven or eight people in Sun Canyon.
12:47And now Virginia City's gathering an army to go after them.
12:49Well, it wasn't the Paiutes.
12:50It was the Bannocks of the Shoshone tribe.
12:51Ring-noses people.
12:53What makes you say that?
12:54Bruno, Numta.
12:55Their wives are inside being cared for.
12:57Why?
12:57What happened?
12:58Wilson, a drunken brother of his.
13:00They held him prisoner and mistreated him.
13:03So that's the truth of the matter.
13:05Well, why would Wilson accuse the Paiutes for what happened?
13:08Shift the blame for him himself.
13:10Protect his own dirty skin.
13:12Pa, we can't let them attack Wintermuck and the Paiutes.
13:14We gotta stop them tonight.
13:15Oh, not tonight.
13:17Dozens of them were gathering when I left there.
13:19Drunken, loud, boisterous.
13:20Nobody could talk to them tonight.
13:22What about Bill Stewart?
13:23They listened to him.
13:24I've already talked to Stewart.
13:26Oh, he'll reason with them in the morning.
13:27We'd better be along too.
13:29Nobody will believe it wasn't the Paiutes.
13:31I felt like killing those Wilsons myself when I saw the women.
13:34But why did Ring-nose have to kill those people on his way back to the mountains?
13:39The primitive people, son.
13:41Primitive and proud.
13:43Once they've tasted blood.
14:06Turn back...
14:07One little short from jeanet.
14:10Wilson.
14:11Yes, sorry, General.
14:14This is a sorry army.
14:16Where are all those men you promised me?
14:18Well, you know something, General.
14:20Overnight, most of them boys sobered up.
14:26Now, we got enough.
14:27All I want to do is get out there and shoot me some Indians.
14:32You may have your chance, Mr. Wilson,
14:34with a few dozen men against the Paiute Nation.
14:41All right, you men, listen to me.
14:46What do you want here, Stuart?
14:48I want to stop you from making fools of yourselves.
14:52Ben Cartwright knows Indians better than any man in Nevada.
14:56Now, he tells me that the Wilson Station massacre
14:58was not done by the Paiutes,
15:00but it was done by the Bannocks
15:02of the Shoshone tribe higher up in the Sierras.
15:05That's a lie.
15:07Well, I was there one night.
15:08You were there, all right.
15:10Maybe they ought to know what you did there.
15:11You listened to them.
15:12If it wasn't for Adam Cartwright,
15:13this whole thing wouldn't have happened.
15:15It were his fault.
15:16What do you mean, Wilson?
15:17He came in just before it happened
15:18with one of his Indian friends.
15:20He said he wanted me to sell the Indians some booze.
15:23When I said I wouldn't do it,
15:24he said it had the whole Paiute tribe down on me.
15:26Man, I saw it.
15:28I was there.
15:28I saw them Paiutes with my own eyes.
15:30They took my brother,
15:31and they took my partner,
15:32and I tore them up in little pieces.
15:34Now, we got to let them get away.
15:38No time to stand here and argue.
15:40A few men go out,
15:41drunk and disorganized.
15:43Against Winnemucca's warriors,
15:45you'll be destroyed.
15:46I tell you, the Paiutes are innocent.
15:48Cartwright,
15:49that massacre took place before noon.
15:51Within an hour,
15:51there wasn't a Paiute in town,
15:52and Wilson didn't get back here
15:54with the news until late afternoon.
15:55Explain that if you can.
15:56The Indians have ways.
15:57I thought so.
15:58Murder has been done by Indians.
16:00We move to punish them.
16:01All right, men, let's go.
16:02Just a minute.
16:04All right, Armsby,
16:06go out to Winnemucca,
16:07but go seeking a parley,
16:08not as a war party.
16:10Find out what the Paiutes
16:11have to say about all this.
16:12You going to ride with us, Mr. Stewart?
16:14No, I'm not.
16:15I can do more for you
16:16by staying here
16:17and keeping in touch
16:18with the authorities in Washington.
16:19I will go along with you, Major.
16:20My son and I.
16:21All right, we need every man.
16:22Those of you with horses mount up,
16:24the rest of you fall in.
16:25Get up.
16:26Fall in what?
16:30With this, I go to fight Indians.
16:58Hold up.
16:59Whoa!
16:59Whoa!
17:00Look there.
17:02Signal fires.
17:07They've heard it's coming for miles.
17:11Fire!
17:12Hold!
17:15Hold!
17:26We do not know how many there are
17:28or what their purpose is.
17:30Paco will tell us.
17:34The diggers from Sun Mountain come.
17:36How many are there, Paco?
17:37Maybe three tens.
17:39Ben Cartwright and his son,
17:40the one called Adam,
17:41ride at their head.
17:43Must Sharp Peak itself
17:44fall upon my father
17:45to make him see?
17:46I see nothing but a great mistake.
17:48It is a mistake
17:49that will kill your people.
17:50Even your friend Ben Cartwright
17:52rides with him.
17:53Ben Cartwright rides to talk.
17:55With a rifle in his hand?
17:57Would my young war chief
17:58see his people die?
18:00I would protect them.
18:02Since when is war
18:03a better protection than peace?
18:05We have asked for no war.
18:07We have killed no one.
18:08But the white man's army
18:10moves not toward the sky home
18:11of the Bannock people.
18:12They come toward us.
18:17Though we want only peace,
18:19we would be fools
18:20if we did not think
18:21that war might come.
18:24This we will do.
18:28My son will take
18:29the warriors of the tribe
18:30to the place of the tall rocks.
18:33Each brave will have
18:34a white man in his gun sights,
18:36but do not fire
18:37unless we are fired upon first.
18:40I and the other elders
18:41will meet below the rocks.
18:43We will take counsel
18:44with the whites.
18:46We will speak for peace.
18:49Should there be war,
18:52you are the war chief
18:53of our people, my son.
18:55Defend them.
19:17He's got a lot of brass.
19:19There's a call
19:20for a parley, Major.
19:21It's too late for a parley.
19:22We'll take him in.
19:23I wouldn't try it.
19:24What did you say?
19:26Take a look around.
19:27One behind every rock.
19:39Treacherous devils.
19:41What did you expect?
19:41A welcome mat?
19:42Come along, Major.
19:44Move parley.
19:50Cover them, they're going to parley.
19:51Hold it, come on, boy.
19:53Yeah, hold it.
19:54Come on, Mr.
19:54Yeah.
20:02Come on, Mr.
20:03It is an evil thing
20:06to see Ben Cartwright
20:07ride to war.
20:09I ride for peace,
20:10O chief of the Paiutes.
20:11Then my eyes fail me,
20:13for I see men ready for battle.
20:16Stop reading around the bush.
20:17Now look here and...
20:18Shut up, Olensby.
20:19You want to get us all killed?
20:22The Paiute wants peace.
20:24We want peace.
20:26Will we talk?
20:27We will talk.
20:37We're talking to them
20:38murdering devils.
20:40They had me a clear shot at one
20:41and I might show them
20:42how to talk.
20:47Mike, look.
20:49I've got a Paiute for you.
20:53Yeah.
20:55Now this one's for my brother.
21:05Stop your firing!
21:07Stop shooting!
21:11Stop firing!
21:12Stop firing!
21:13Stop firing!
21:14Stop firing!
21:28Stop firing!
21:43Stop firing!
21:46Stop firing!
21:49Get out!
21:52Stop!
22:03Enough Indians for you, Mike.
22:13My son!
22:14No time for that!
22:16My son!
22:33They're everywhere!
22:34Let's get out of here!
22:37Let's get out of here!
23:12Good Lord.
23:14All these men.
23:15Ormsby, too.
23:16It's a massacre.
23:17My son is dead.
23:20Dead.
23:22Stampeding out there.
23:23They're out of their heads with fear.
23:24We've got to do something.
23:25Yeah, well, you better do it quick.
23:27There's a couple of thousand Indians out there
23:29and they're on their way here by now.
23:31Instead of cleaning him up,
23:32you better put a rope around his neck.
23:34What do you mean?
23:36He let us into a trap.
23:37That's what I mean.
23:39Everybody knows him and the pirates are thicker than blood.
23:41They killed his son.
23:42His son ain't dead.
23:44As soon as the shooting started,
23:45I saw his son run off the Indians.
23:47You talk, Wilson.
23:49But you better be telling the truth.
23:52Well, I saw Winnemucca drag him off himself.
23:54From the looks of things, it didn't take much dragging.
23:58Wilson?
24:00Is this true?
24:01I wouldn't count on it, Ben.
24:02If Adam is alive,
24:03it'll just mean that a lot of people will ask questions
24:05as to why he was the only man spared.
24:08I don't care what questions people ask.
24:10Just as long as he's alive.
24:12Ben, go back to your ranch.
24:14Go on now.
24:16If the word gets around,
24:17it'll just mean trouble now.
24:18Go on.
24:29You're letting him get away with murder.
24:33Shut up, Wilson.
24:37We need help, that's for sure.
24:41Charlie Hungerford commands a battalion of militia
24:43on the other side of the Sierra at Placerville.
24:46We can send messengers there.
24:48I'll go.
24:53All right.
24:55We'll send a couple of men along with you.
24:57Come up to my office
24:58and I'll make out an official request.
24:59I know what to tell them.
25:01I'd rather put it in writing,
25:03if you don't mind.
25:17Winnemucca, have you gone mad?
25:18Be silent.
25:22Why does our enemy yet live?
25:24There are many weapons.
25:26Some take lives.
25:28Some save them.
25:29We have beaten them.
25:31Everywhere they run before us.
25:33Even now the diggers cry in fear
25:34over what awaits them.
25:36Before morning,
25:37their Virginia city could be ashes
25:38as if we were to move now.
25:41It is plain to see the son of Winnemucca
25:43thinks he was sired by a fool,
25:45for he talks like one.
25:51Adam Cartwright,
25:52but for my hand,
25:54you would have long ago
25:54have fed the fires.
25:56Answer me in truth.
25:58If I can.
25:59Now that we have beaten them,
26:01what will the diggers do?
26:02You know that as well as I do.
26:04Tell them with your lips.
26:06They will send to California.
26:08The militia will come.
26:10The army.
26:11How many?
26:13A hundred tens.
26:14He lies.
26:15Let me kill him now.
26:16No.
26:19Are you a woman?
26:20Did not his father kill Grey Bear
26:22before your very eyes?
26:23My young wolf grows careless
26:25in his howling.
26:27Winnemucca, speak to my father.
26:28There are men of honor
26:29in Virginia city.
26:30There can yet be peace.
26:31Can there be peace,
26:32Adam Cartwright?
26:33But there has to be peace.
26:35You can't fight
26:35the California troops.
26:36There is trees on the Ponderosa
26:38without number.
26:38They cannot fight.
26:40Did we not destroy them?
26:42Did not the remaining handful
26:43run back to their caves
26:44like cringing dogs?
26:45You fought a bunch of
26:46half-drunken miners
26:47out on a picnic.
26:48A lark.
26:49But next time you'll fight soldiers
26:50and they'll outnumber you
26:51two to one.
26:52Tell them, Winnemucca,
26:53I speak the truth.
26:56He speaks the truth.
26:59But Ben Cartwright's words
27:00hangs heavy on the ears
27:01of the whites.
27:03He will stop the army.
27:04He can't do that.
27:05Only you can.
27:07We will send word to him.
27:08We will meet him.
27:10He will know it
27:11from Winnemucca himself
27:13that if the army
27:14from California
27:15moves on the Paiute nation,
27:18his son will die.
27:24Winnemucca has said it.
27:26Take him to his D.P.
27:38Little Joe!
27:41We heard about the trouble
27:42in Sacramento.
27:43Decided Horses
27:44ought to go on up
27:44to San Francisco.
27:45I'd come back
27:45and see if I could give
27:46you and Adam any help.
27:47Where is he?
27:49Winnemucca's holding him
27:49prisoner.
27:51Prisoner?
27:54Was he all right?
27:55Well, I received word
27:56through a messenger
27:57last night.
27:59Winnemucca's bringing Adam
28:00to Truckee Rock.
28:01I'm to meet him there.
28:02Yeah, well,
28:02how did this whole thing...
28:03Not now.
28:04I'll tell you about
28:04about it later.
28:26Where is my son?
28:38Stay.
28:41Are you all right, boy?
28:42All right, Paul.
28:44Might the vigilantes
28:45run you out of San Francisco?
28:48Do the soldiers
28:49come from across the Sierra?
28:52They've been sent for.
28:53Then you will stop them
28:54or your son will die.
28:57Winnemucca.
28:58We're friends.
28:59You must not do this.
29:00My people are my friends.
29:03Did not Ben Cartwright
29:04shoot a Paiute brave
29:05even as we parlayed
29:06at a sharp peak?
29:07He would have killed my son.
29:08I have a hundred sons.
29:11But you will stop
29:12the soldiers, Ben Cartwright,
29:14or you shall have
29:15no more than two.
29:16How do you expect us
29:17to stop an army?
29:18Pa, Bruno.
29:20Bruno and Ringnose.
29:23If Ringnose
29:24were to tell the truth
29:26about Wilson Station,
29:27perhaps the army
29:28will not attack the Paiute.
29:30But you must give us time
29:31to ride to the high mountains.
29:32We will attack no one.
29:35But we will defend ourselves
29:36in our homes.
29:39Winnemucca,
29:39I would talk to my son.
29:43You may talk.
29:47Looks like you got yourself
29:48a little hot water
29:49this time, Walter, brother.
29:50Yeah, me this time
29:52instead of you.
29:53Hate to leave you this way, boy.
29:55I'll be all right, Pa.
29:56Junior here would like
29:57to cut my throat,
29:58but Winnemucca won't let him.
30:01Said that young Wolf
30:02and Adam Cartwright
30:03used to ride the war show
30:03together as brothers.
30:04Children do foolish things,
30:07but they become men.
30:11We'll be back with Ringnose.
30:12What makes you think
30:13he'll want to come?
30:14He'll come whether
30:15he wants to or not.
30:18Goodbye, Pa.
30:19Joe.
30:21I'll be right back.
30:54Hello.
31:00Ben Cartwright.
31:01Major Hungerford.
31:02Didn't expect you so soon.
31:04We got here as soon as we could.
31:05Captain Kelly.
31:06We'll take a few minutes rest.
31:08Yes, sir.
31:10Lights out.
31:11Toops, just now.
31:14What Mr. Wilson says,
31:15we couldn't get here too soon.
31:17You know Mr. Wilson.
31:18Oh, yes.
31:19Yes, I know Mr. Wilson.
31:21My son Adam told me
31:22what happened at his station.
31:23Hungerford.
31:24Ask him how come his son Adam
31:26is with the Paiutes alive
31:28when the rest of the men
31:28they caught were chopped to bits.
31:30He and his whelp
31:31led us into a trap.
31:32Major, it was not the Paiutes
31:33that raided his station.
31:35It was a party of bannocks,
31:35part of the Shoshone tribe.
31:36Cartwright, you're alive.
31:38Mr. Wilson.
31:39Major, I was there.
31:40I saw my own brother
31:41killed right before me.
31:43Winamaka and some Paiutes
31:44they came in and shot up my place.
31:45It was not the Paiutes,
31:46it was the bannocks.
31:47And the reason they killed
31:48your brother is because
31:49of what you and he did
31:50to a couple of bannock women.
31:51The husband of one of them
31:52worked in my ranch.
31:53Look, everybody knows
31:54that he's been on the side
31:55of the Paiutes right along.
31:58Ormsby and his men
31:58were killed by Paiutes,
31:59weren't they?
32:00The Paiutes were defending themselves.
32:01They didn't attack Ormsby.
32:03My son Adam is being held hostage
32:05by Winamaka.
32:05That's why we're writing
32:06to the bannock chief, Ringnose.
32:07He can prove that I'm telling the truth.
32:08Suppose Ringnose won't talk.
32:10He'll talk.
32:11Look, he's not telling you
32:11a word of truth.
32:12I was there, I saw it all
32:13with my own...
32:14You open your mouth once more
32:16and I'll have you gagged.
32:18Ben, I prefer to believe your story.
32:21But I'm under express orders
32:22from the governor
32:23of the state of California
32:24to attack the Paiutes
32:25and punish them.
32:27This much I can do.
32:28If you can bring me proof
32:29that it was the bannocks
32:30and not the Paiutes
32:32that attacked Wilson Station,
32:33then I'll parley with Winamaka.
32:35And try to make peace.
32:37You must give me time, Major.
32:39I'll march to Pyramid Lake
32:40by the longer route.
32:41I'll stop once an hour to rest.
32:43More than that,
32:44I can't do for you,
32:45your son, or any man.
32:47I'm a soldier, Ben.
32:49I'm under orders.
32:52I hope you get to Ringnose
32:54and get him back here in time.
32:57Thanks, Major.
33:07You don't believe him, do you?
33:10If what he says is true,
33:11you'll go back to Sacramento
33:12with me, Mr. Wilson.
33:14In irons.
33:15Captain Kelly.
33:17Hunt the truth.
33:34Leave us.
33:42It had been better if you'd lied.
33:46The soldiers are coming.
33:48You'll never see them arrive.
33:51Stay your hand.
33:55Already the soldiers march.
33:57It was your word
33:58that Adam Cartwright die.
34:00They are not yet here.
34:03Leave us, my son.
34:05Is there not a battle
34:06to make ready?
34:09Do you remember this knife?
34:11I remember.
34:12My father gave it to you.
34:13Yes.
34:15I got to return it to him now.
34:34Once the wild bear knew Washoe,
34:37now he is gone.
34:40The white man killed him.
34:42That is so.
34:44And then the antelope,
34:45who was the friend of the Paiute,
34:50he too is gone.
34:52White man killed him.
34:56That too is so.
35:00And now the great son
35:01of the Paiute weakens.
35:05And as it crosses the sky,
35:07even today,
35:08will drop behind the mountains
35:09and be gone.
35:11Perhaps my father
35:12will return in time.
35:15The soldiers already march
35:16along Chief Truckee's river.
35:18Your father's in the land
35:20of the Bannocks.
35:23I would like to see your father.
35:26A man should see his friends
35:28on the day of his death.
35:36At the head of the California soldiers
35:38rides a man named
35:41Hungerford.
35:43I know him.
35:45He's a soldier.
35:46Is this the same Hungerford
35:48who defeated Shining Brow
35:50of the Cheyenne?
35:51It's the same.
35:55A hundred tens of men
35:57and more in canon.
36:00All this to defeat
36:01an old man,
36:02his son
36:03and thirty tens
36:04of Paiutes.
36:08Do our small lives
36:10mean so much
36:10to your people?
36:12Don't fight them,
36:13Winnemucca.
36:14Wait.
36:15Surrender if you must,
36:16but give my father
36:17time enough to return
36:18with ring-nose.
36:20There will be no more talk,
36:22even though I willed it.
36:24If we must die,
36:25we must die.
36:27For the ways
36:28of the wild things
36:29are the Paiutes ways
36:31and the wild things
36:32too are dead.
36:36I am sorry for you,
36:37Adam Cartwright,
36:38for you are a friend
36:39and the son of a friend.
36:41But the first shot
36:43that is fired
36:43by the California soldiers
36:45will be a signal
36:46to my son.
36:48And you will die.
37:04And even as you die,
37:06it will be like
37:07a small part of myself
37:09that dies with you.
37:34We will talk
37:35with ring-nose.
37:49You are brave
37:49to ride it
37:50to the camp
37:50of the Bannock.
37:53Well, Grunot,
37:55is this the way
37:55the Bannock
37:56repays his friend?
37:58If you have anything
37:59to say,
38:00say it to me.
38:01The acts of the Bannock
38:02people are the acts
38:03of their chief.
38:04My son will die
38:05if the California
38:06army attacks.
38:08But more than that,
38:09the whole Paiute
38:11people will die
38:11if ring-nose
38:12allows them
38:13to take the blame
38:14for the raid
38:14on Wilson Station.
38:17War is war,
38:18Ben Cartwright.
38:19Do you ask
38:20that the Bannocks
38:21walk into the white
38:21man's rope?
38:22My son brought back
38:23the wives of Bruno
38:24and Numta
38:25from the Dark Land.
38:27I ask the Bannock
38:29to do the same
38:30for my son.
38:33What about us,
38:34Ben Cartwright?
38:35What will happen
38:36to us?
38:40I don't know.
38:51The debt must be paid.
38:56We're right.
39:07Ben located here.
39:09Ben!
39:10Me down!
39:19THE END
39:41THE END
40:13The Indians open the rock, sir. There's a lot of them.
40:16Mr. Kelly.
40:19Yes, sir.
40:20Any sign of Ben Cartwright?
40:21No, sir. The rear guard is looking for him.
40:23We can't delay any longer.
40:26Have the men from Fort Alcatraz cut around to the high ground. I want a flanking fire on the Indians.
40:31Have Sergeant O'Banion move his field piece to the high ground on the other flank.
40:35Deploy your companies on both sides of the trail as foragers.
40:40Send the bugler to me. He'll advance at my command.
40:44Return fire if fired upon, but otherwise let no man fire without orders.
40:49Move your men out.
40:50Very good, sir.
40:54Sergeant O'Banion, move your field piece to the high ground.
40:58First platoon, give him support to his position.
41:01Then dismount and form his foragers.
41:03Do not fire us fired upon.
41:05Move him out, Sergeant.
41:06Yes, sir.
41:07First platoon, forward.
41:36You're not firing us fired upon.
41:39Dismount and form his foragers.
41:41Carry out the order.
41:42It's full.
41:48There are many.
41:50I told you there would be.
41:54Many eyes to see you die.
42:04Get you in the boat.
42:23Take an interval.
42:25Take an interval.
42:26Take an interval, men.
42:28Come on, Mr. Foragers.
42:30Come on, men.
42:31Fall in.
42:31Fall in.
42:32Fall in.
42:32Come on.
42:33Fall on with it, sir.
42:34Up there.
42:34Hurry up.
42:35Hurry up.
42:35Fall in.
42:36All ready, sir.
42:37Very good, Captain Kelly.
42:39Come on, Mr. Foragers.
42:45Bugler, sound the advance.
42:48Follow me.
42:50Bye.
43:01Bye.
43:10All right.
43:15Bye.
43:38Stand on the rock.
43:46Let's go.
44:22Let's go.
45:03Don't fire, don't shoot!
45:05Get back!
45:07Don't shoot!
45:14Fire at will!
45:25Fire!
45:27Fire!
45:37Fire!
45:38Fire!
45:39Fire!
46:04I've been waiting for this, Cartwright.
46:06I'm going to kill you.
46:15Adam, are you all right?
46:19I'm all right.
46:19Well, we've got to stop them.
46:20Listen.
46:23They've already stopped.
46:34God help us.
46:35What have we done?
46:46Is it true, Major, that it was all a mistake?
46:49Yes, Captain Kelly, it's true.
46:55Then I'd better not tell the men.
46:57You tell them, Mr. Kelly, loud and clear.
47:00I want every one of them to know what happened here today
47:02and why it happened.
47:04Yes, sir.
47:06What about the Bannocks?
47:13I appreciate your honesty.
47:15That took courage.
47:17You will go to California with me.
47:19Major.
47:22What will happen to them?
47:23I don't know.
47:25They'll have to stand trial.
47:27I'll do what I can for them.
47:30There's been too much killing already.
47:35Pa.
47:40Winni Maka.
47:42Winni Maka.
47:59Your son lives.
48:02We mourn your dead son.
48:04I do not mourn for my son.
48:08I mourn for all my sons.
48:46I mourn for all my sons.
49:04I mourn for all my sons.
49:34I mourn for all my sons.
