The following program is

brought to you in living color on NBC.

Yeah, there was a fight. He didn't get hurt real bad.

- He just needs to... - Sleep it off. I know.

He drinks more than he fights.

I see you managed to get all of his money.

Look, lady, I didn't come here to find out about any money,

and I didn't take the money he had with him.

He got in a card game he shouldn't have.

I just brought him home. That's all.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.

Thank you for bringing him home.

Friends?

Friends.

It's so beautiful.

It's my favorite place.

Brother Hoss and I used to come here when we were kids.

We didn't do anything special. We'd just...

Sit and look out.

We used to call it our happy place.

You really loved him, didn't you?

Yeah.

Those whom God hath joined together,

let no man put asunder.

What?

Nice night for a walk, isn't it, John?

Isn't it, John?

You disappoint me, John.

You really do.

I trusted you.

You owe me money, a great deal of money.

You promised to pay me and you haven't.

Dam... Damion, I will pay you.

I just need a few more days.

- I told you. - I know what you told me.

You told me you had a bank draft coming in from... St. Louis.

Yes. Yes, I do, and it'll be here in just a few days.

There is no bank draft, is there, John?

Yes, there... I swear there is.

Lying is a sin, John.

A man must pay for his sins.

- Hanley... - No, no.

No, no, please. Please. I... I... Please.

All right, I... I lied.

I'm sorry. I was scared.

I thought that my luck would change,

that I could win some of the money back.

I let you play on credit and you never really meant to pay me.

That's not true. I will pay you.

I'll get the money somewhere.

- Where? - I don't know.

That's not good enough.

- Hanley... - No, wait! Wait!

My sister, she's got the money.

She got married three, four months ago

to a fella that's got plenty.

She'll give it to me.

Five thousand is a lot of money.

Her husband's got it.

His father owns a big spread.

His name's Cartwright.

Believe me, he's got plenty of money.

Hi.

I suppose you're wondering what I'm doing.

No?

Okay, well, I'm going to tell you anyway.

I was... See, I was putting the cradle in different places around the room

to see where the baby would get a lot of sun

and have a nice view at the same time.

Oh.

Well, um... why don't you put it right in the center?

See, then the baby can look straight up,

'cause if you keep fooling around with the cradle,

this room is never going to get a roof on it.

Okay?

I know what you mean.

Is... Is it big enough?

- The room? - The room, yeah.

- Is it big enough? - Plenty big.

I can make it a lot bigger.

No, it is perfect.

Suppose you have twins?

Would you not say that?

I'm going to have plenty of trouble

just taking care of one at a time, thank you.

- Very much. - You're welcome, certainly.

I think two you's and me's wouldn't be too bad, though, would it?

Oh.

We're gonna have as many you's and me's as you want.

Okay?

But right now, I think we ought to get the first room finished.

Finished, all right.

I'm gonna go over to Pa's and get some more lumber.

- Say hello for me. - Will do!

Oh, see if the family wants to have supper with us.

- We've got plenty. - I will.

I love you.

Hyah.

- Well, that ought to do it. - Yeah.

If that doesn't, we've got plenty more.

That's plenty.

Let's get Jamie and head on home and get some good supper.

No point in rushing it.

You gotta let Hop Sing get that pie finished.

You know how he's going to feel if we go off and leave it.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Hey, uh, what's it feel like, knowing you're going to be a papa?

I'll tell you, I get so nervous I can't sleep at night.

Well, wait 'til that baby's born.

He's never going to let you sleep again.

I don't think you understand how serious this situation really is.

I understand exactly how serious it is, for you.

I hardly think you're in any position to threaten me.

Not if you care about your brother.

He really has some very fine qualities, you know?

I would advise you to leave my brother right here,

and take your friends and go.

My husband and his family will be here any minute,

and I don't think they'll take too kindly

to your being here.

What a shame.

I had hoped we could be such good friends.

Look what I found.

This is lovely, Mrs. Cartwright.

A gift from your husband?

The stones look quite good.

I don't know if it covers the full amount owed to me...

but it's better than nothing.

Give me back the box.

Get out of my house.

Give me back the box.

Get out of my house!

I'll only ask you one more time,

and then I'll have to let Mr. Hanley take it from you.

Don't touch her.

The box, Mrs. Cartwright.

My God.

Hyah! Come on! Hyah!

Hyah!

Alice...

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

- Alice! - Joe, it's too late!

Let me go. Alice.

Alice!

- Joe! - No!

Nothin', huh?

Nope.

There's no way to tell how it started, Clem.

Could've been the stove. More than likely was.

Well...

I never did see a fire burn any hotter than this one.

Sheriff, take a look over here.

Looks like another body, or what's left of one.

Wonder who it is?

Well, there's no way to tell.

You'd better wrap it up and put it in the wagon with...

With the woman, then head back to town.

We know, oh God, that you will welcome Alice Cartwright

to your kingdom with open arms,

and we pray that with that knowledge,

her husband and her loved ones will find comfort.

Help them, oh Lord, to forget this tragedy,

and to remember only the beauty...

And the love that was Alice Cartwright.

Amen.

It's good to see you.

Always welcome to our house.

It was gettin' kind of late.

I was just... wondering where you were.

Same old Pa. Always worrying, huh?

No, I wasn't worrying. I...

Ah, come on now. Come on.

You were worrying.

Well, there's nothing to worry about.

You...

Heard the preacher today.

He said... Alice is in heaven, and...

You think about the good times.

Why don't you come on home?

I'm home!

See how quick you forget? I'm home.

This is my home.

This is our home.

Alice's and mine...

And our baby's.

I nev... I never got the baby's room finished, you know?

I thought it was too sm... Small, but I...

Told Alice I could make it bigger.

She said it was plenty big.

She said...

She...

She...

Looks like you're all set.

Yeah.

You'll let us hear from you.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know from where. I'm just gonna keep movin'.

Just need a little time.

I know.

Take care.

Yeah, I will.

Let me have a beer, will you?

Would you settle for whiskey? The beer went skunky on me.

Yeah, whiskey'll be fine.

Looks like you've been on the trail for a while.

Yeah. About a month.

Feller down at the livery stable said you had rooms to rent.

Oh, sure do. Ain't the greatest, but the beds are sleepable.

That's fine.

Let's see...

Six. End of the hall.

That's 25 cents for the room and 50 cents for the whiskey.

Here, keep the change. Good night.

Sleep good.

Where did you get that music box?

Listen, mister, you get out of here.

Where'd you get it? Where did you get it?

It's mine!

- You get out of here. - Now, you hold on...

Get out of here!

Where'd you get that music box?

Some fella gave it to me.

What was his name?

- I... I don't remember. - You think!

Uh...

He... he was a little fella.

He...

He talked real proper,

real fancy.

What was his name?

Damion. Damion, that was it.

His last name?

I... I don't know.

His friends just called him Damion.

Friends?

What were their names?

I... I don't know.

Think!

The three fellas he had with him.

I don't know. One of them... was...

Big... and mean-lookin'.

Never said anything.

This... This Damion did all the talking.

How long ago did they leave?

A couple of weeks.

They stayed in town for a while, gambling.

Cleaned everybody out.

Mentioned... something about

working their way to Frisco.

I don't know any more. I swear it.

The horses are saddled.

Joe, let... Let me go with you.

No, I want you to ride into town.

Tell Clem what happened.

Have him wire the law in San Francisco.

They can notify the jewelry stores to keep an eye out for the necklace.

That'll be our only lead if they beat us to Frisco.

All right.

Candy and I will check every little town on the way.

Let's go.

You'd better wire your Pa in Carson City, too.

All right. Should I tell him to try to catch up with you?

No, there's not enough time.

Uh, just tell him... Tell him we'll get 'em.

Hey, what's the next town?

Uh, Haskell.

How far?

Well, we, um...

We ought to make it by nightfall.

There's Daddy. Say, "Hi, Daddy."

We're gonna have to rest the horses awhile on the way.

After that we've got just a few more towns before Frisco...

Barlow, Thornton...

I love you more than you know.

It means we're going to have to add that room on

a little sooner than we planned to.

Forever.

Forever.

Forever.

Joe?

Joe?

I said we'd better get going.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Excellent.

A pleasant surprise in such plebian surroundings.

I want to get out of this place.

It's drivin' me nuts.

There's nothin' to do around here.

I say when we can go.

Well, I wish you'd hurry up and decide!

I don't hurry anything!

That's what I like about Mr. Hanley here.

He doesn't hurry either.

He enjoys every moment...

Savors it, like you would a fine wine.

You've angered me, Sloan.

I think you ought to be more like... Mr. Hanley.

Hanley...

Cut out his tongue.

Come on, you got to be joking.

I thought you knew me far better than that.

Now, wait a minute. I...

I didn't mean nothin' by that. I'm sorry.

Hey, look, I said I was sorry.

Look, call him off, will you?

Don't... Call him! Please!

You want to be forgiven?

Yes.

You kneel when you ask for forgiveness.

Come forward.

Yes, Sloan?

Please... forgive me.

And he was forgiven.

It's been about an hour.

The horses ought to be rested by now.

I'll get 'em saddled up.

$1 a night for two.

Extra 50 cents if you want a bath.

We don't need a room. We're looking for some men.

There's four of them. One's named Damion.

- Mr. Damion. You friends of his? - He's here?

Was here. Wonderful man. Real gentleman.

How long ago did they leave?

Mm, four, maybe five hours ago.

Left me a $5 tip.

It's going to be tough tracking them at night. We'll need torches.

We'll need some fresh horses, too.

Where's the livery?

- Why you lookin' for him? - Where's the livery?

All the way up the north end of the street.

He wouldn't do nothing wrong.

I told you, he's a gentleman.

I wonder who they could be.

Well, it doesn't matter.

How far behind us would you say they are?

Two, maybe three hours at the pace they're going.

It'll be daylight in three hours.

Mr. Hanley and I will go on ahead until we find some fresh water.

You two stay behind... and kill them.

Make out who they are yet?

I can make them out clear enough, but I ain't never seen them before.

Well, there's one thing for sure...

We're never going to see them again.

Take care of the horses.

Hear it?

Mmm-hmm. Top of that knoll.

Be safe for about another 50 yards.

- Then move. - Mmm-hmm.

They're still a-riding.

Just a little closer.

Now. Now!

You see anything?

No.

I'm getting out of here.

- Stay put. - Oh, no.

You can get killed for Damion, but I'm not.

Candy?

I'm all right.

If you don't want to end up like your friend over there,

you're going to talk.

No, I... I don't want no part of this.

Look, I didn't mean you any harm.

I don't even know you!

You knew my wife... Didn't you?

Your wife?

My house.

My wife.

You burned my house.

No, that wasn't me.

It was Damion and Hanley. They done it.

Look, I... I was there, but I... I didn't have nothin' to do with it.

Damion...

He let Hanley kill her...

And then they burned the house.

That's the truth.

Where are they?

They rode on ahead to look for water.

We're supposed to meet them there.

Stay with him.

Hanley.

I don't like it.

I thought they would have been here by now.

If anything's gone wrong, those two will still be following us.

I wouldn't like that. I wouldn't like that at all.

Build a fire.

We will be ready if company comes.

Okay, get up slow.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

Whatever you say.

That means you, too.

I'm afraid that won't do any good.

There's no one under that blanket.

Mr. Hanley!

Did he ride in alone?

I could have had Mr. Hanley kill you right away,

but I'd like to know why I'm being followed.

It makes me very uneasy not knowing why.

You killed my wife.

Your wife?

Oh, yes.

You must be Cartwright.

Of course.

But how did you connect us?

We burned all the evidence.

Not the music box.

The music box.

That's right.

Now, that was stupid of me, I must admit.

But no one's perfect.

You see, women happen to be my only vice.

Now, you take Mr. Hanley here.

He doesn't have that problem.

He has a much different way of dealing with women.

I'm afraid your wife was an example.

Mr. Hanley, give me the rifle.

Now, you and Mr. Cartwright have something to settle.

You did kill his wife.

And since we have no judge or jury here,

I think the fairest way...

Is through trial by combat.

Let the trial begin, Mr. Hanley.

Kill him!

Trial by combat is to the death!

Kill him!

You disappoint me, Cartwright.

The Bible says an eye for an eye.

You should have killed him. You had the right!

I'll give you one more chance.

So, kill...

Ah! No!

I wouldn't have let him!

Mr. Hanley!

I never would've let him!

Hanley! No.

No! I wouldn't have let him!

No! No!

No! Don't hurt me!

No!

No! Hanley!

Hanley!

I love you.
