04:57No, I'll check it fine.
05:01Hey, Paul, how come Adam didn't come back with the doctor?
05:04No, he's staying in town overnight.
05:19Go away.
05:21I won't hurt you.
05:24Where is this place?
05:27It's the Ponderosa, Nevada.
05:29How's your head?
05:32Go away.
05:36It's cold.
05:44It's cold, and I think that you want to keep the cover over you.
05:47Hey!
05:49Hey, what'd you do that for?
05:54All right, you just go ahead and freeze if you want to.
05:56Here we go.
06:04Well?
06:07How is she?
06:10Well, gypsies are supposed to be mean.
06:12She's doing fine.
06:12What'd you do to your hand?
06:14She bit me.
06:16She bit you?
06:17Uh-huh.
06:19Well, listen, little Joe, if a gypsies bites anything like a pool catch, you're in trouble.
06:22If you start foaming at the mouth...
06:24Yeah, I know.
06:24Drink plenty of Jamaica ginger.
06:27Why did she bite you?
06:28I don't know.
06:30Say anything about her folks, or what happened to her?
06:33No, nothing.
06:35I'll talk to the girl in the morning.
06:38I wouldn't get too close to her.
07:13Do you see that star?
07:18Yeah, it's the North Star.
07:20I would like to reach up and pluck it out of the sky.
07:26Well, that's a long ways up.
07:27No, it's so close I can feel the cold on my face.
07:32Well, maybe you better get back in bed.
07:34Night is the inside of a black bell.
07:38It rings forth the spirits of the dead.
07:43Don't worry.
07:45It's just that Lobo wolf we've been trying to catch.
07:47Go away.
07:50Now, will you bite me again if I don't?
07:54Where are the folks you belong to?
07:56I have no one.
07:57Come on, everybody has someone.
07:59Why do you care about me?
08:02Is it because I am pretty and you want to kiss me?
08:05Come and do it.
08:07I am waiting for you.
08:09Now, look, I don't know what's bothering you,
08:12but I brought you here and I feel responsible for you.
08:14I want to find out where you belong and that's all.
08:16You're walking in your father's shoes.
08:19And what does that mean?
08:20You're playing like you are a man, but you are a little boy.
08:22And what makes you so grown up?
08:25I'm past being grown up.
08:27I'm old and withered.
08:30I am dead.
08:33And I don't know what you're talking about.
08:36You're the craziest girl I ever ran into.
08:38Go away before I turn you into a toad.
09:04You don't have to eat crumbs, young lady.
09:07Have a decent breakfast if you wanted.
09:09I don't need your food.
09:12Well, you are welcome to it if you should need it.
09:15My name is Ben Cartwright.
09:20You are a rich man, Ben Cartwright.
09:24I do have much to be grateful for.
09:26I would have to steal to have so much.
09:30There are other ways.
09:32Tell me, what were you doing out there all alone?
09:36Howling at the moon?
09:39Well, I suppose that is respectable for young wolves, but not for young ladies.
09:44Where are your people?
09:45Why do you want to know?
09:47Would you invite them to eat with you?
09:50Well, I want to know so that I can return a young girl to them.
09:54I think they've lost one.
09:54They did not lose me.
09:58I am not like them.
09:59I am different.
10:02Well, how?
10:03What makes you different?
10:05There is no one in front of me and no one in back.
10:10I may go anywhere I want to go and be whatever I wish to be.
10:17What is it that you wish to be?
10:19I wish to be free.
10:22I wish to be free.
10:29I do not like your house.
10:57I do not like your house.
11:01What's wrong?
11:02Go away.
11:03What's the matter?
11:05Give me that.
11:08Let me go.
11:09Not till I find out what's going through that crazy head of yours.
11:11Why do you try to kill yourself?
11:13I am Gaffey.
11:14I am a witch.
11:17The animals.
11:19They know it.
11:20If you mean those horses, it was your dress that spooked them.
11:22They are not used to bright colors.
11:24Nothing else.
11:25No.
11:25It is the dark star.
11:29It is the dark star.
11:45It is the dark star.
11:49They have probably come to pick up a young friend.
11:52How do they know she is here?
11:54Well, doctor.
11:55Imagine it is all over Virginia City by now.
11:58They did not come from me.
12:02Now look, young lady.
12:03I do not know what problems you may have had with your people before.
12:06But do you think it is time to straighten them out now?
12:08You do not understand.
12:11No.
12:12I guess you are right.
12:13I do not.
12:15I have three sons and no daughters.
12:17I have always found women are mighty harder to understand than men.
12:20They are more sensitive.
12:22Now look, I will forget about those dishes if you will come along now and give things another try.
12:29No.
12:30Well, those are your people.
12:32You belong with them.
12:34No.
12:37All right.
12:39Muhammad will not go to the mountain.
12:58Zurka, we have visitors.
13:01Oh, welcome, friends.
13:10I, Zurka, welcome you.
13:14I shall be welcoming you.
13:16My name is Ben Cartwright, my son Hoss.
13:19This is the Ponderosa, Cartwright Land.
13:22You don't mind my asking, how did you get through our fence line?
13:26Oh, it is in need of repair.
13:28Fences are always in need of repair.
13:32I presume you came to pick up the girl.
13:37The girl?
13:38Yes, we found a half-dead in the Timber country.
13:42Gypsy girl.
13:44You are Barosan, my brother.
13:47You're a great man, I can see it.
13:49I'm sure that you will let my people stay on your beautiful land until the dark sky clears.
13:57We are heading across the mountains, in the place where the Mustangs run wild.
14:03What about the girl?
14:06She's no longer one of us.
14:09She's Gaffey, a bringer of misfortune.
14:12She's a child.
14:14Oh, the devil is fond of children.
14:16You mean to say that that poor little girl, you think she's bewitched?
14:20We know it, Barosan.
14:22You left her here to die.
14:25We left her behind us.
14:28She's a human being, she's not an animal.
14:31We have laws in this country governing responsibility.
14:34We stay away from the law, and the law stays away from us.
14:37Well, maybe you won't be able to do that this time.
14:40Well, I'll think it over, Barosan.
14:43You will let us stay, huh?
14:45On one condition.
14:47That you take the girl and go when the weather clears.
14:51I can promise you that we will go.
14:53But now, Barosan, when we are here, maybe we can do some business.
14:56We have fine horses to sell.
14:59Well, we buy our horses in Virginia City.
15:01But none like the beasts of Romans.
15:05Aspiro.
15:06Bags like iron.
15:08Hooves like the wind.
15:09Well, boy, it can't do no harm to take a look at them.
15:12Well.
15:19What do you want for the stallions?
15:21One hundred fifty apiece.
15:23How much?
15:24For both.
15:26All three?
15:28All three?
15:33Oh, they aren't worth half that.
15:36Oh, you're a hard man to deal with, Barosan.
15:39Oh, not usually.
15:40These horses have been fixed.
15:42Oh, the Indians have been known to use similar methods.
15:44Thief have been bored and filled with birchwood to hide their age.
15:47If his legs have been blistered on this side,
15:49balance up with that layman on the other end, too.
15:54Touch of arsenic in their feet?
15:55You insult us.
15:58I was right.
15:59You're a great man, Barosan.
16:01With an eye of a gypsy.
16:03I like you.
16:04My wife will tell you a fortune.
16:06For nothing.
16:07I'm afraid not.
16:08No, no, but we will talk.
16:10You will tell me your life and I'll tell you my life.
16:13Another time.
16:14No, no, no.
16:14Tonight.
16:15Tonight is All Hallows' Eve.
16:18It's a big celebration.
16:19We'll have a roast pig and we will dance and drink kimmel, a lot of kimmel.
16:23You'll join us.
16:24I'm afraid not.
16:25But you must come.
16:27You must bring the pig.
16:28You do have a pig, huh?
16:30Yes, we have a pig.
16:32So bring the pig and you are welcome.
16:34Well, I'm afraid we're saving our pig for a little celebration of our own.
16:37Oh, so don't bring the pig and you are welcome, too.
16:40Thanks, anyway.
16:41Enjoy yourself.
16:43And remember what I said about the girl.
16:44I expect you to come for her.
16:50And stay in good health, Barosan.

41:01the world, there's a hole through which one can descend in the underworld. This can be
41:11reached by following the direction taken by the setting sun. The journey should be made
41:22and two cocks, harnessed together. In the underworld, it is time to sleep. It takes two months
41:50walking through darkness before one sees a light. It is a cavernous passage guarded by nine
42:01white dogs. The passage leads directly to the castle of the black, man-eating emperor.
42:13The castle is in that flagon. And when it bursts, he shall be released from the soul of this girl.
42:28What's your name? Tirza. How old are you? Nineteen. How long has the devil been in you? How long?
42:37Since my birth. Why does he possess you? Tell me. Tell me. Oh, I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
42:50What is the devil's name? I don't know. What is his name? As... Asmodeus. Asmodeus. Can you see
43:01him now? No. I want you to see him. See his goat's face and fiery eyes, the hairy twisted body
43:10and the
43:11cloven hoof? Blood, bones, claws, hoofs, horns. Can you see him now? No.
43:29Three times from east to west. Three times from west to east.
43:38Scorpions, feathers, spiderweb. I conjure thee, Asmodeus. I exorcise thee, O ancient serpent,
43:47by the judge of the living and the dead. Let from this skull thou, with these and afflictions
43:54of thy fury, speedily depart. Little Joe, I am free.
44:35Uh. Coffee? No, no thanks. I, uh, I wanted to talk to you.
44:53Go ahead, boy.
44:57Well, you remember once you told us that we could have a piece of this land when it was time.
45:08That's right.
45:10Is it time, boy?
45:12Yes, sir.
45:15Well, if that's what you want.
45:18This is a fine young woman.
45:21I'd be proud to have her for a daughter.
45:34Zulka, come in, come in, please.
45:35Well, Baruch-san, the sky clears, so we are on our way, as I promised.
45:40It was a good land, and we are grateful for the hospitality.
45:43The girl is coming with us.
45:45Our house is her house now.
45:47Tis is not coming with you.
45:49You want her, young man?
45:51Yes.
45:52But it is our way that if a man marries, he has to join the girl's family.
45:57You have to become a gypsy.
45:59Tis is going to stay here with me.
46:01No, little Joe.
46:02No, I cannot stay.
46:10What do you mean you can't stay?
46:13Remember the fish in the stream?
46:15I wanted to be one of them.
46:18I am one of them now.
46:20I've waited so long to see love in their eyes, instead of fear and hate.
46:27It is in my heart to go.
46:31Tis, you can't go.
46:33Do you understand I love you more than anything in my life?
46:36You are a tree, Joe, not a fish.
46:40You must stand tall and watch over this land that is yours.
46:45Tis, I...
46:46Stay.
46:47Stay here.
46:49And think of me sometimes when the stars are in the skies.
46:53I will have memories of you always.
47:03Goodbye, little Joe.
47:16You have a good son.
47:18I always wish to have a son like this.
47:21So many times I try to make a son of Spiro.
47:25Oh, yes, I'm...
47:26I'm sorry about Spiro.
47:29He's better off in the land of the Mulos.
47:31He'll find peace and judgment for his sins.
47:35Then you know what he was trying to do.
47:37Yes.
47:38We found a wolf's paw on his body.
47:41It was still wet with blood.
47:42It was our mistake.
47:44You know, Zerka,
47:47sometimes it's possible to see the devil when you're looking for the devil.
47:50Our mistake was that we didn't see the devil in Spiro.
47:55Maybe so.
47:59Goodbye, my brother,
48:01and may you have a long life.
48:03and may you have a long life?
48:04Well,
48:13THE END
48:45THE END
49:11THE END
