00:27The End
00:40Well, it was a fair fight
00:41At least as fair as it could be with John Mullane
00:45He's not here too bad
00:46Come on, let's get him over to Dr. Martins
01:06Every day you're more like a mad dog
01:09Now you will not provoke any more violence in my place
01:11Do you understand that?
01:13It is amazing to me, my dear Julien
01:16How such tender sentiments can come from trash like you
01:19Let's get him over to Dr. Martins
01:23Let's go
01:23Come on
01:23Come on
01:27Come on
01:29Come on
01:30Come on
01:31Come on
01:32Come on
01:33Come on
01:34Come on
01:35Come on
01:37Come on
01:40The End
02:43This is a real nice place you've got here.
02:46I'm sorry I missed it out.
02:48Oh, don't be sorry.
02:49After all, you are defending my honor.
02:52I've never been here before.
02:53Well, you must come back sometime.
02:55I'd like that.
02:56As my guest.
02:57I'm Julia Bulette.
02:59I'd like to repay you.
03:04Dinner here at my place.
03:08Tomorrow night?
03:10Yes, ma'am.
03:16I'll get the brandy, Tom.
03:23We are of the same kind, you and I, Julie.
03:26Where men are concerned, we are the messengers of destruction.
03:29You do it through the heart.
03:31I do it with a gun.
03:36Does it matter to you which way it happens to this young man?
03:42Pa?
03:43You think Julia Bulette might have known my mother?
03:47No, I don't think that's very likely.
03:50Why not?
03:51They both lived in New Orleans.
03:53They might just as well have lived on opposite sides of the world.
03:57What do you mean?
03:59What I've been trying to say is that...
04:03The only thing that Julia Bulette has in common with your mother...
04:08The fact that she's a woman.
04:11She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
04:16Yes, she's a very beautiful woman.
04:20Well, come on, Pa.
04:21You better hurry up if you want to get to that town meeting all the time.
04:24Come on!
04:34This is a meeting that will be attended by Virginia City's leading citizens.
04:39Now, uh, sure you don't want to come along?
04:42No, thanks, Pa.
04:43I, uh, I got some other plans.
04:57May I?
04:59Miss Bulette?
05:01Why so formal, Ben?
05:02It used to be Julia.
05:03Get up!
05:04I'm sorry.
05:05Shall we go in?
05:06Well, I...
05:07Oh, yes, I've been asked.
05:09My invitation said it was supposed to be a meeting of the leading citizens of Virginia City.
05:13What did yours say?
05:15Well, uh, my said the same.
05:18Shall we proceed?
05:45Well, looks like everybody's here that's going to show up, so we might as well get things under way.
05:49And I guess we all know why we're here, too.
05:54Under the ground of Virginia City lies the greatest bonanza of silver known to man.
05:59Most of what's on top, though, is nothing more than trash.
06:04The first thing to do is among ourselves by bringing in effective law and order.
06:10Now, starting with effective law and order, we'll have to raise a permanent city fund to interest the kind of
06:15men that we want.
06:18Ben, can we expect help from the ranchers?
06:24Well, ranchers want law and order in town just as much as everybody else.
06:29Of course, we'll do all we can.
06:32But I don't think that'll be enough.
06:36Yes, I realize that.
06:40As a matter of fact, that brings me to...
06:43That brings you to why I was invited here?
06:48The kind of money you'll need will have to come from the people who mostly make up this town, the
06:53men who work in the mines.
06:56They will listen to Julia Bulette.
06:59So, gentlemen, I'll take care of raising the money and the moralizing I'll leave to you.
07:06Oh, I know you'd love for me to stay, but I do have a saloon to run.
07:16As well as an appointment to keep.
07:24Friends, there's a rumor around that we have a very wicked town here in Virginia City.
07:32So, while the blue noses sit up on the hill and cry about it, I think we down here on
07:36C Street can do something about it.
07:40Now, the first thing Virginia City will need will be a little money in its pocket.
07:44I'm going to make the first donation.
07:46Tom, get me a bottle of brandy.
07:50A bottle of brandy.
07:52Now, how much are you willing to give this fine old Virginia City brandy?
07:56$100.
07:58$100?
08:00This is Julia's palace, not another saloon.
08:03Now, come on, let me hear a respectable bid.
08:05All right, $200.
08:07Better.
08:08$250.
08:09$300.
08:11$500.
08:17So, Julia Buellette, $500.
08:20Now, I'm giving it right back to Virginia City.
08:23Who's next?
08:25$200.
08:27$250?
08:29$300.
08:30Oh, come on now.
08:32$350.
08:33$500.
08:37$500 sold to little Joe Cartwright of Ponderosa.
08:40And I give it back to Virginia City, too.
08:43All right, that starts the open bidding over again.
08:45Gladys, come on up here.
08:47Make them pay till it hurts.
08:50Come on, little Joe.
08:52Okay, fellas.
08:54What am I bid?
08:55Sally, we're going to need something to put all this money in.
08:59Oh, that's going to be fine.
09:01Thanks.
09:04One, two, three, four, five.
09:08I don't carry that kind of money on me.
09:10Can I give you a note for it?
09:10No.
09:11You saved my honor, I'll save yours.
09:13Now we're even.
09:14Oh, your daddy forgot to give you your allowance, huh?
09:19Look, Malene, just because you shot up a few miners, that makes you the most feared man in town.
09:23I'm not shaking even a little bit, so I don't get in my way.
09:26You don't think I can make you shake like the others, huh?
09:29I think you only stay alive because no grave will have you.
09:31I think you'd better go.
09:32You, uh, going outside, my friend?
09:34Fine.
09:35No, he's, he's going with me.
09:37Monsieur?
09:40Would you rather spend a few minutes with him or an evening with me?
09:48Some other time.
09:50That is a promise.
09:52From me.
10:07Make yourself comfortable.
10:11I'll fix us a brandy.
10:13No, thanks.
10:14Oh, you drink so little, gamble even less.
10:18It's a good thing the finer side of a man burns out in his youth or I'd be out of
10:22business.
10:22Well, I hope you stay in business a long time.
10:25I'd hate to see you leave here.
10:26There are not many around here who would agree with you.
10:29Well, they snub you on Sunday and come to your place on Monday.
10:33The world's better off without that kind of hypocrite.
10:36Don't try to change the world, little Joe.
10:38Enjoy it the way it is.
10:42You'll grow older and then you'll be no different from all the others.
10:46I'm sorry about that.
10:49May I?
10:50Oh.
10:57Could have had your pick of any man in Virginia City.
11:00Why'd you ask me here?
11:03John Millan might have killed you.
11:06Millane?
11:07How'd you happen to make friends with a man like that?
11:11It was a long time ago.
11:12There's companionship between us.
11:16He's not fit to wipe your shoes.
11:18Don't be too sure.
11:21Judy, just to break up a fight was...
11:25Was that the only reason you asked me up here?
11:28It was then.
11:47Is there anything wrong?
11:50No.
11:51Quite the contrary.
11:54You know, you remind me of what I always pictured my mother would look like.
11:58She was part French like you, came from New Orleans.
12:01And she was a very beautiful woman.
12:05All right.
12:06Tell me about New Orleans.
12:09I'm afraid it wouldn't be as your mother saw it.
12:11From different sides, a mountain never looks the same.
12:15I don't understand.
12:17You will.
12:22Goodbye, little Joe.
12:24Go home where you belong.
12:35Coming back.
12:50Now, now for that little promise, huh?
12:52Just relax, Millane.
12:54I believe I'd do like he says if I did you.
12:58Me and Adam figured you boys would be about ready to settle something.
13:02Now, why don't you settle it like gentlemen?
13:05A horse will hold your coat.
13:12Come on.
13:13Come on.
13:41I've told little Joe once.
13:42I've told him a thousand times to keep those elbows in.
13:50Joe's got to learn to fight a lot dirtier than that.
14:00A couple of beers, Tom.
14:25You know, that kid's got lots of grip.
14:28One of these days, he's going to be able to hook that Frenchman.
14:31Yeah, but this wasn't the day.
14:33Tom?
14:34Bye-bye.
14:36Thank you, Tom.
14:37We'll see you.
14:37All right, Hoss.
14:57Five hundred dollars.
14:59I told you I'd work it out.
15:02It's not the money, little Joe.
15:05I was planning to give more than that to the fund anyway.
15:10It's just that I think you're beginning to make a fool of yourself.
15:13Why?
15:14What's wrong with her?
15:15Oh, nothing, nothing.
15:16She's a fine woman.
15:17All right, what is it then?
15:21Well, it's just that...
15:26Well, she's seen much more of the world than you have, boy.
15:31I see.
15:33That makes her bad.
15:54Well, Doc.
15:56Good to see you.
15:57Come on in now.
16:00Well, what brings you our way?
16:02Well, I just come down from the mines of Gold Hill.
16:04Oh, how are these down there?
16:06Ran into a few cases of fever.
16:08Fever?
16:09Was it bad?
16:10Well, it's hard to say if they'll build up to epidemic proportions.
16:14So far, just a few scattered cases here and there.
16:16Oh, I'm glad of that.
16:18You're looking well, Ben.
16:19Feel wonderful.
16:20Could have felt better.
16:21Good.
16:22Come a long way.
16:24This house.
16:26Ponderosa.
16:28Three fine sons.
16:30Now, Doc.
16:32A man with all the work you've got to do
16:34wouldn't take a long ride just to talk old time.
16:37Sit down.
16:39Have a little refreshment.
16:40Well?
16:41I'm saying?
16:42How about a little cool water from that good well use?
16:44All right.
16:45Yes, sir, Mr. Carly.
16:46Glass of cool water for Dr. Martin.
16:49Yes, sir.
16:49Lie away.
16:52Now then.
16:53What's in your mind?
16:56Well, for one thing, the committee wanted you to know
16:58we received a letter of acceptance from Brad Olens.
17:00No, that's fine.
17:02Olens is one of the best.
17:03Yes.
17:04I only hope we can keep him.
17:06Now.
17:06What's to stop us?
17:08Well, money for one thing.
17:10Oh, Miss Buellette's bottle of brandy got us off to a fine start.
17:14But it can't stop there.
17:16We've got to have the cooperation of the people.
17:20I sure hope we get all the cooperation we need.
17:26Ben, you know that most of the people of a community keep in step with the leaders.
17:31We're just beginning to find some of our leaders.
17:34You, for instance, Ben.
17:37All right.
17:38All right, Doc.
17:39Keep talking.
17:42Well, I just don't know any other way to say it.
17:46People of the town are talking about little Joe.
17:49Miss Buellette.
17:52Now, matters concerning my sons and myself are nobody's business but our own.
17:56No longer, Ben.
17:58It boils down to this.
18:02If Virginia City will keep her house clean,
18:05she has a chance to become an important part of this country.
18:08If she doesn't,
18:10she'll stay just a dirty little town on a mountain.
18:19I'll talk to Junior, Doc.
18:36Brandy, Ben?
18:38I promise you it's the very best.
18:40I'm sure it is, Julie, but no thanks.
18:44And finding out the Cartwrights aren't much of a drinking family.
18:48No, that's true, but very much a family.
18:52Go on.
18:54Well, Julia, you know, the boy's young.
18:57He's full of life.
18:59Well, I can understand how he could appeal to you.
19:02It has.
19:05Yeah, with you, this is a passing thing.
19:09It's different for little Joe.
19:12Different how?
19:14Did he ever tell you about his mother?
19:17Yes.
19:19You never really knew her.
19:21She died when he was very young.
19:26Now, you were the only other woman of French ancestries ever known.
19:30That and the fact that you also come from New Orleans
19:34makes you something special in his eyes.
19:37But not in yours.
19:39No, I guess not.
19:42Have you told little Joe to stay away from me?
19:46No.
19:46Well, I'd prefer him to hear it from you.
19:51And just what is it you'd like him to hear from me?
19:57Well, the difference in your ages, your ways of life.
20:00Not to mention the fact that the whole town is talking about us
20:04and what that could do to a young man's reputation.
20:07Yes.
20:08Is that too?
20:10Mm-hmm.
20:13I'll think about it, Ben.
20:15Julia, you're wonderful.
20:17I knew it could count on you.
20:19You know, this really will be best for you, for everybody.
20:36Tom?
20:37Goodbye, Mr. Fairbride.
20:40Tom?
20:45Has little Joe Cartwright been around?
20:47No, but I passed the word along that she didn't want to see him anymore.
20:51I changed my mind.
20:52What, Miss Julia?
20:53I said I changed my mind.
21:11Oh, little Joe, well, where have you been?
21:15Virginia City.
21:17Ran into Doc Martin.
21:18There's several more cases of the fever.
21:19He's getting real worried.
21:20Oh, Joe, I've been waiting here to talk to you.
21:25Oh, what about?
21:29You've been with that woman again.
21:31Her name is Miss Bulette.
21:34Now, Joe, you're a grown man, and I know you'll understand what I'm going to say to you.
21:39I know already.
21:40Pa, she's not the kind of woman that people say she is.
21:44Not anymore, anyway.
21:45Well, look, I know she wears fine clothes, and she talks good, and she lives well, but, you know, the
21:52scar doesn't disappear just because you wash it.
21:56I guess that's how it was with my mother.
21:59Keep your mother out of this.
22:01I've heard you and Adam talk how there were places you couldn't go, things you couldn't do because...
22:05Because she was part Creole.
22:08It was her language and the ways of a people that some folks didn't understand.
22:12Nothing more.
22:14I know that.
22:15And still, there were a lot of people that hated her.
22:20Pa, sometimes I see a scar, you know, you've got to be looking for it.
22:26Little Joe, I...
22:43No, thank you, Helping.
22:44I don't want no more.
22:45Only one piece of cake?
22:47This dang cake's flat.
22:49The cake is not flat.
22:50Well, two days now, whole ends is flat.
22:52No fun?
22:53Nobody eat.
22:54No good without Little Joe.
23:00I just talked to Charlie.
23:01He's been in town.
23:02Seems the kid's having himself quite a time with Miss Bulette.
23:05They've been seen just about everywhere.
23:07You must be enjoying this.
23:09You know, it's doing something for Little Joe.
23:11Defending somebody he feels close to.
23:13He'll get over it.
23:14You think so?
23:17Well, let him find somebody else to defend.
23:20I'm not going to have that woman beating me over the head with my own son.
23:24And we're going to bring Little Joe back from town if we have to drag him a step of the
23:28way.
23:42Well, he's not in there.
23:44Let's move on.
23:51Well, he shouldn't be too hard to find.
23:55Come on!
23:56Come on!
23:56Get out of here!
24:02Come on!
24:03Come on!
24:05Come on!
24:05Come on!
24:06Come on!
24:06Break it up!
24:08I said break it up!
24:11You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
24:14You certainly should be.
24:15What for?
24:16For protecting my boy when the whole mob was trying to take him apart?
24:19Well, what that mob was doing to your boy is nothing compared to what he did to the inside of
24:22my opera house.
24:23He wrecked it.
24:24It would take a whole week to put it back together again.
24:26It was nothing but uncalled for violence.
24:28Uncalled for?
24:29What do you call what you did to Miss Bulette?
24:30Now, wait a minute.
24:33What's all this about?
24:34Perhaps I can explain.
24:37I have a box load in this theater.
24:39Mr. Romley had it draped so it would be separated from the others.
24:43A new policy of the management.
24:46I accepted it, but my escort didn't.
24:50Well, with the district judge and you, Marshall, coming in a couple of weeks, the committee...
24:58Ben, you know what I mean.
25:01Let's go.
25:06Let me know how much the damages will be.
25:15Are you coming home with us?
25:16You can make me go home, but you can't make me stay there.
25:20All I want is a chance to decide a few things for myself.
25:26I'll get the carriage.
25:31Now, why do you have to fight me and the town using a boy as a weapon?
25:36It's the only weapon I can use against you and win.
25:40It's quite a victory, isn't it?
25:43Ben Cartwright's son defending the honor of Julie Bulette.
25:47It's even more of a victory.
25:49I have the help of his father.
25:52Ben!
25:53Oh, Ben!
25:55The fever's not an isolated thing any longer.
25:57It's all over Gold Hill.
25:59And it is an epidemic?
26:01We'll be in Virginia City by morning.
26:03Chances are it's the water.
26:04There's plenty of pure water in the Ponderosa.
26:06Yes, sir.
26:07Adam Haas, get the hands together in the ranch and get some water down here.
26:11Yes, sir.
26:12All right, now, folks, I'll need all the help I can get.
26:15Beds for the patients, men to transport them, and women to tend them.
26:19What I need is good water, shelter, and volunteers.
26:22Now, who'll be next?
26:27The palace will be set up for anything you need right away.
26:31Well, thank you, Julie.
26:34All right, who else?
26:44You shall keep all my statutes, so the land shall not spew you out.
26:49Well, the Lord was talking to Moses, not to Virginia City.
26:53You taught me that that meant everyone.
26:56So what's happened to the good people in this town?
26:58They're about to go to work, little Joe.
27:00Julia, don't bother moving those gambling tables.
27:02They all do nicely as beds.
27:03All right, Doc.
27:15Well, that's going to slosh around a little bit, but that'll have to do.
27:18Take her on down, fill her up with water, and take her on into town.
27:20As soon as it's empty, bring it back.
27:23Reader.
27:43No, no, no, let me show you.
27:47Stay here.
27:52It's easy when you know how.
27:59Watch me, and I'll show you how to load barrels.
28:04You can't use your back strength and your muscles.
28:07You've got to use your head, Hopson.
28:09That's right.
28:10You use your head, your way.
28:12I use my head, my way.
28:13Here.
28:14I'm going to put it in.
28:14I'm going to put it in.
28:42Look, you wrestle up enough strength to take this medicine,
28:45and I'll let you take advantage of my good nature.
29:02We're saving two for everyone we're losing.
29:05In an epidemic like this, that's a victory.
29:08Well, those that are healthy are beginning to leave this town in droves.
29:13Just a dirty little town on a mountain.
29:15I guess that's all we were meant to be.
29:19What if to change it means crucifying people like her?
29:22I say it's not worth it.
29:25Hey, Doc, I got you three more volunteers.
29:27Oh, good.
29:29Oh, Pete, I thought you and your crew were pulling out.
29:32Well, maybe it's like little Joe says, Doc.
29:35It's our mountain.
29:36We dug right under our insides with a little more in our bare hands.
29:40Well, it ain't decent to let some stinking thing like a fever chase us off.
29:46Mr. Cartwright there can show you plenty to do.
29:48You come with me, Pete.
29:53Joe, I've got something for you to do.
29:55Take a break.
29:57No, Doc, there's still a lot of work to be done.
29:58That goes for Julia, too.
30:00You two have been working for days.
30:02I need help, not new patients.
30:04You do as you're told.
30:32You do as you're told.
30:38We've been asleep a long time.
30:40Yeah, I dreamt I was in New Orleans.
30:42Yeah, it's a beautiful place.
30:45Virginia said he's a long way from New Orleans.
30:47I'm going to go there someday.
30:49Maybe he'll live.
30:51This is where you'll stay.
30:54No, man goes where he wants to be.
30:56I've watched the way you handle people here.
31:00Man stays where he's needed.
31:02And you?
31:03When the town starts to grow, I look for a new frontier.
31:09It doesn't have to be this way.
31:18Your mother was French.
31:21Do you understand the language?
31:24Some of it.
31:33This should have happened many years ago.
31:40Someday you'll know what I mean.
31:43You'll also know why you must stay and I must go.
31:51We'll be needed inside.
32:06You know, I think you're going to make it.
32:08Pa, I checked most of the mines.
32:10There's not one new case of fever, Doc.
32:12More than half the men have gone back to work.
32:14Good.
32:15Then we'll move the last of our patients over to the meeting house.
32:18Boys, let's move these blankets and beds over to the meeting house.
32:21Well, it was a fight, Adam, but it's the kind of fight that's good to win.
32:26Well, we lost one too, Pa.
32:30What do you mean?
32:31Little Joe came back to the ranch this morning and he took his things.
32:47Now that this is over,
32:51Julia, this thing with Little Joe,
32:56I should never have interfered.
32:59Oh, I'm disappointed in you, Ben.
33:07Disappointed?
33:09A man of strength should never let sentiment interfere with his convictions.
33:13I'm the same woman I was before the fever.
33:16Well, I haven't changed either.
33:17And nothing has changed between us,
33:19but I...
33:21I won't gamble with something I can't replace.
33:26If it's Little Joe's wish,
33:29you're welcome to become part of the Ponderosa.
33:32That's quite an offer.
33:36Especially since you don't think I'm good enough for it.
33:41Whether or not you're...
33:44good enough for Little Joe
33:45is something only you can decide.
34:03Tom,
34:05I want some champagne.
34:07Harry,
34:08let me have a tune,
34:08a lively one.
34:10As soon as the patients have moved up,
34:12I want you to clear out this mess
34:13and put the gambling tables back in their places.
34:16I'm going to put on a night.
34:16Virginia City will never forget.
34:23Well, after the fever,
34:25that should be a great celebration.
34:27Celebration?
34:28Who said anything about a celebration?
34:31This is going to be an execution.
34:34Julia Bulette,
34:35destroying the sweet innocence of youth.
34:38from the South.
34:49Rebel audience
34:50Ho-Hu-choo the
34:52Ho-ho!
34:58Ho-ho!
35:01Ho-ho!
35:02Ho-ho!
35:03Ho-ho!
35:05Ho-ho!
35:06Ho-ho!
35:28Julia, what's the matter with you?
35:29What's the matter with me?
35:30I'm having fun.
35:31You call this fun?
35:32You're acting like a...
35:33Go ahead, little Joe, say it.
35:44Mr. Cartwright, I think I've told you to stay away from Julia Billet.
35:51It has been a short life for you, my friend.
35:56Let us hope it has been a pleasant one.
35:58Yeah.
35:59Listen.
36:00I listen.
36:01I listen about this important thing I must do for you in Sacramento City.
36:05And I discover it is something which could have been handled by mail.
36:08John, please.
36:09Don't.
36:10John.
36:18Julia, you all right?
36:27It isn't a bad one more, Sherry.
36:29Go upstairs.
36:30I'll fix it.
36:38Julia.
36:39Leave me alone.
36:42Julia, I did this for you.
36:44You want to do something for me?
36:47This bracelet, the necklace, they arrived today.
36:49A present from an old friend.
36:52They're diamonds, little Joe.
36:54That's all any man can do for me.
36:57No, you don't mean that.
36:58Why shouldn't I?
37:01That door you came through, it works both ways.
37:03I think you'd better use it.
37:12I think you'd better use it.
37:18Yes, Julie.
37:20You destroy with a heart.
37:24I used to wonder why it was I'd send you away and then be so happy when you came back.
37:30Perhaps that is because we are cut from the same piece of cloth.
37:34Perhaps it's because in order to hate you, I had to hate myself.
37:38As you said, we're very much alike.
37:40One cannot change this, Julie.
37:43One can try.
37:46I don't want to see you anymore, John.
37:51You've said this before.
37:53I never meant it before.
37:55We have been together too long, Julie.
37:57We have no escape one from the other.
37:59Goodbye, John.
38:00Julie.
38:02I have little which belongs to me.
38:05But what I have, no one will take away.
38:10No one.
38:32Well, Joe, we heard what happened over at the palace.
38:37You shouldn't have taken on Malene alone.
38:40Well, I beat him, didn't I?
38:42Little Joe, they're having the fanciest meeting you've ever seen over at the community hall.
38:46Everybody's patting each other on the back for stopping that epidemic.
38:49Paul's right up there on stage with them.
38:50He's going to make a speech.
38:52Nah, you wouldn't want to miss Paul making a speech, would you?
38:56Everybody's patting everybody on the back, huh?
38:59Well, it's a real fine meeting.
39:01Come on, Joe.
39:03No, you know, you're right.
39:04I wouldn't want to miss him.
39:11As nobody, Virginia City has a right to thank Moore and Ben Cartwright.
39:21Thank you, Mr. Romney.
39:23If we've done anything...
39:24Yes, sir, boy.
39:24Thank you, Mr. Romney.
39:26Oh, and thanks to you, too, Dr. Martin.
39:29And I want to give a special thanks to all you honorable citizens.
39:34Well, how about giving a little thanks to the person who did the most to save this stinking town?
39:39How about some thanks for Julia Bulette?
39:45Well, what's the matter?
39:46Don't you have the guts to admit when you're wrong?
39:50Well, Virginia City's fire engine company's been needing an honorary member.
39:53How about it, boys?
39:55What?
39:58Well, the lady isn't going to know anything about it until we tell her.
40:04Come on!
40:08Let's go!
40:36Come on, let's go.
40:44Well, little Joe, it was you who got us here, so you ought to be the one to say it.
40:53Well, this isn't just for what you did for Virginia City during the epidemic.
40:58Well, it's for all the things you've done for everyone in this town.
41:00That's right.
41:04It's not a diamond necklace or a bottle of champagne, but it's the best we've got.
41:13What do you say, boys?
41:14Three cheers for the first honorary member of Virginia City's fire engine company number two.
41:19Hip-hip! Hooray! Hip-hip! Hooray! Hip-hip! Hooray!
41:27There's no diamond necklace that goes with this either, but I'd be especially proud if you'd consent to be my
41:32wife.
41:48What Miss Buletta's trying to say is, champagne on the house!
42:02Having faith in no one carries a special kind of security.
42:06You and your son have destroyed it.
42:09I'll never forgive you that, Ben.
42:27Hello, Ben.
42:28George.
42:31Ben Cartwright, this is Brad Olin.
42:32Howdy.
42:33Howdy.
42:33Nice to meet you.
42:34He got in with a new judge, so we swore him in right away.
42:37Well, there's some nice things about you. Nice to have you with us.
42:39There's my son, Joseph.
42:40Howdy, Drew.
42:41How are you?
42:41You're, uh, about a week early, aren't you?
42:44A week early, but a day late.
42:47Oh?
42:48What do you mean?
42:50Julia Bulette was knifed and robbed last night.
42:54How is she?
42:56It's bad.
42:57Doc Martin's with her.
42:59A couple of miners saw a tall, dark man coming out of her place just about daybreak.
43:04John Mullane.
43:06That's the name.
43:07We followed him up this way.
43:09He's probably headed to Lake's Crossing.
43:12Me and Adam will show you the way.
43:13Oh, that's fine.
43:14Boy, better get going.
43:17Oh, Joe.
43:18Miss Bulette sent word she'd like to see you and your dad.
43:41Hello, Ben.
43:43You've been asleep a long time.
43:53Looks like I win a battle and lose the war.
44:01I'm sorry.
44:03Everyone is.
44:05Everyone?
44:06Hmm.
44:08If New Orleans could only see me now, huh?
44:14Little Joe.
44:16He's here.
44:19I want to see him, Ben.
44:26Ben?
44:29Last night you and the rest of Virginia City gave me a present.
44:35Now it's my turn.
44:38I'm going to give you back your son.
45:04Get me some brandy, Joe.
45:09I'm going to give you back your son.
45:25I shouldn't be giving this to you.
45:26No.
45:27This is the way I live, kid.
45:31Are you going to be all right?
45:34I don't care.
45:36Couldn't have happened at a better time if I'd live to be a thousand.
45:41We beat him, Joe.
45:43We beat the apple knockers.
45:46What?
45:47The high and mighty blue noses.
45:50We took them for the ride of their lives.
45:55Oh, that play of yours.
45:58Bringing them in to lick my shoes just when they were ripe.
46:03They meant every word of that.
46:05Sure they meant it.
46:07It makes it so rich.
46:12They'll hear me laugh.
46:14Laughing every time they pass my grave.
46:26The biggest laugh of all.
46:29Your old man.
46:33That night you were up here.
46:35I told you it was just for laughs, remember?
46:39I never intended to see you again.
46:44I never wanted to see you again.
46:50Joe.
46:56You better go, Joe.
46:58The doctor wants me to rest.
47:04I'm coming back.
47:28Well, we got Malane.
47:29He had our diamonds in his saddlebags.
47:31Good day.
47:44Good day.
