All language subtitles for 5.01 She Walks in Beauty

The following program

is brought
to you in living color on NBC.

You know, this is it.
Let's get them up, come on.

Come on.
Yeah.

Uh, hi, Miss Sally.

Miss Eleanor.

Uh, Jane?

Now, come on, Joe, if you wanna
socialize, come in on your own time.

Let's get these chores done.
I usually can get one of those.

How are you, Miss Betty?

Good to see you.

She's pretty.
Hey, here comes the stage.

Maybe there's a letter on there
from Adam.

Hey, come on, come on,
there's a letter on there from Adam.

Will you come on?

You know, if you just break down

and spend a few dollars,
you'll get a pair of boots that fit.

Hey, Charlie, got any mail for us.
No mail on this trip, Joe.

Hi, Charlie.

Will you be staying
at the hotel, miss?

No, I'd like to engage a carriage.
Yes, ma'am.

Why do you reckon
anybody'd wanna cover up like that?

Well, I don't know.

I sure would like to get a look
at what's underneath that veil, though.

Yeah.
Probably uglier than a mud fence.

Well, look, you wanna stand here
and socialize or get your work done?

Well, this is it, miss.

Would you mind waiting a minute?

I'm not sure I'll stay.
Anything you say.

What are you doing here?

I had no place else to go.

Why here?
Emilia, we're sisters.

I need help.

You're the only person
that can help me.

Come in.

Your life shows in your face, Ragan.

And it makes me ashamed
you're my sister.

All right.

I don't why I should,
but I'll help you.

However, you'll have to wait
until the bank's open in the morning.

You can stay at the hotel overnight
and I'll...

I'll leave an envelope for you
at the desk after 9.

That's not the kind of help I need,
Emilia.

Well, I don't know what other kind of
help I can give you, Ragan.

Please, Emilia.
"Please, Emilia.

Emilia, please."

It's always been, "Emilia, please,"
hasn't it?

Even new, fresh from your triumphs
in San Francisco.

You heard about that?
Oh, yes, I heard.

I heard about that incident
and all the other incidents too.

People write, Ragan.

There are always people who write
to you about things like that.

I didn't do anything.
I couldn't help what happened.

As I remember, that's exactly what you
said seven years ago with Charles.

Emilia, that wasn't my fault.

Wasn't it just?

Well, he loved me, Ragan.

For two whole years,
Charles courted and loved me.

And the day you came home
from the school

and displayed your feminine charms,

he didn't even want me.

Well, I don't blame him.

Now you corrupted him like you've
corrupted everything around you

ever since you've been a child.

Judging from your last escapade,
you still haven't changed.

I know what I am, Emilia.

But I can't change
unless you help me.

Please, Emilia. You owe it to me.
Owe it to you?

Just remember this, Regan,
I don't owe you anything.

Yes, you do.

You do owe it to me, Emilia,

for all of the love
that father gave to you,

the smart clever one

and denied me.

Please, Emilia.

Well...

Very well.

Very well, I will help you.

But you'll have to do as I say.

And exactly the way I say
for you to do it.

Yes, I promise.

Have your driver
bring in your luggage.

Thank you, Emilia.

Thank you, Charlie.

What'd Adam say, Pa?

Says ASA report
in Sacramento is excellent. Heh.

Hey, didn't I tell you?

When's he coming home?

Oh, not for a couple of days.

He's having some meetings with a firm
of mining engineers in San Francisco.

Let me see it.

Now, look, Hoss, uh,
go get the wagon.

Let me read it.

You have all the way home to read it,
now get the wagon.

Yes, sir, I'll see you
in a couple of minutes.

Ah. Yes, these will do.

Are you sure this is what you want,
Miss Miller?

We get little more expensive line
that's a lot more stylish.

Yes, this is what I want.
This is what I want. Ragan.

Hmm?

Yes, those will be just fine, Emilia.

Well, you'll need several for daytime,
and at least one good black for church.

Mr. Amos, do you have my,
uh, pattern in a smaller size?

Oh, I'm sure I can find one
that'll suit just fine.

Mm-hm.

Good morning, Mr. Cartwright.
Oh, good morning, Amos.

Is my order ready yet?
Yes, sir.

I got it all put away out in back.
Good.

Uh, excuse me, Regan.
There's someone I must see.

Good morning, Ben.
Oh, uh, good morning, Miss Miller.

Good morning.

Say, I've, uh-- I've heard
a most interesting rumor.

Now, what was that?

Well, that you're seriously thinking

about mining the area above
Gunsight.

Well, yes, as a matter of fact,
I have been giving it some thought.

I'd like to talk to you sometime,
about investing in the venture, I mean.

Well, heh, Miss Emilia, you know,

mining, particularly silver mining,
is so highly speculative

Mm-hm.
I think you'd probably find

much safer investments
somewhere else.

Oh, come now, Ben. I'm not some
poor widow investing life savings.

Ch, of course not.

No, I'm well aware
of the risks involved.

But, uh, I'm also aware of, uh,
the rewards commensurate with them.

Well, to be frank with you,
Miss Emilia,

I just wouldn't want the responsibility
of having you possibly lose any money.

You sure this is everything?
Yes, thank you.

Oh, a couple of packs of cigars
for my foreman.

Ben, should you change your mind,
you, uh-- You would let me know?

Yes, of course, I will.
Fine.

Is that the stuff?
Yeah.

Good morning, Miss Emilia.
Good morning, Hoss.

Your sister chose
the same dress materials

as you selected, Miss Emilia.
Fine. Thank you, Regan.

Ragan, this is, uh, Mr. Cartwright
and his son, Hoss.

Morning.
Howdy, ma'am.

How do you do?

Uh, Mr. Amos,
please put that on my account.

Here, ma'am,
let me take that for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
My pleasure, ma'am.

You know, we didn't even know
that Miss Emilia had a sister,

so you're kind of a surprise
around here.

I'd say a real nice surprise,
Miss Miller.

Thank you. My name is Ragan.

Ragan.

I don't recollect having heard
that name before.

But I don't reckon many people
ever heard of Hoss neither.

Hoss, that's a wonderful name.

50 big and strong,
just like this country out here.

Hey, I bet you ain't even seen
our country, have you?

I'd be mighty happy
to show it to you.

If you wouldn't mind me
coming calling.

Oh, I think that's very,
very thoughtful of you, Hoss.

I've not had a chance to introduce
my sister to many people out here.

I'm sure she'd be delighted
to have you call.

Thank you, ma'am.
Yeah.

I'll sure do it.

All right. Bye, Hoss.
Bye, ma'am.

Bye, Miss Ragan.

Joe.
Yeah, Pa?

Didn't Hoss cruise that timber up
at Gunsight last spring?

Yeah, yeah.
Don't you remember I went up there

and found him bogged down
in a snow drift?

Oh, heh, yeah.

Where's Hoss now?

I think I saw him out
on the front porch.

I don't think he's doing anything.

Joseph.
Yes, sir.

Feet on the floor.
Yes, sir.

Hoss.

Oh, hi, Pa.

Adam writes there's a firm
in Sacramento.

Wants us to quote a price
on half a million board feet of timber.

Do you think we could handle that
out of the tract above Gunsight?

Well, that'll take some doing, Pa.

Yeah, well, why don't you ride up there
and take a look.

We're gonna have to clear it anyway
if we're gonna do any mining.

Uh, Pa, can Little Joe
do that instead?

Uh, why?

Oh, well, I promised Miss Ragan
that I'd take her for a buggy ride

and show her the country.

And, of course,
she ain't gonna be here long. I just...

Sure. Ha, ha.
Heh, thanks, Pa.

Then I'll take her hand,
just like Little Joe taught me.

Then give her that evil eye of his.

Then I'll...

Then I'll turn to her and I'll say...

Thank you.

Heh, giddyup.

Whoa.

What do you think of that?

It's beautiful.

No other place on earth like it.

Giddyup. Hyah.

Pretty azaleas.
They're beautiful.

Coming up nicely.
Mm-hm.

Ah, it was a pleasant dinner.
Hmm.

Very glad we ate outside.

Well, I thought that we should take
advantage of the lovely weather.

Mm.
You know, Ben,

I don't think I've seen my sister,

well, what, content,
I suppose, in long time.

Nor Hoss, for that matter.
Heh.

It's been such a beautiful day.

Yeah, it sure has.

Son of hate to see it
come to an end.

Miss Ragan, you, uh--

You made up your mind yet?

About what, Hess?

Well, about not making this just a visit,
but settling down here.

Well, I don't know.

Settling down has such
a permanent sound, doesn't it?

Yeah, I reckon it does,
but son of nice sound too.

I mean, it's one that
us folks here understand.

Well, I don't know if it would be right
for a person like me.

Oh, sure it'd be right.

Why, if the right person came along,
it'd be right as rain.

Can it ever really be like that, Hess?
Sure.

I mean, you get married

and build yourself a house,
raise a family.

Like they say, grow old together.

Grow old.

Heh, that's something you ain't gonna
have to worry about for a long time yet.

Uh, come on you two,
we're going to have coffee inside.

It's getting chilly out here.

Emilia was right, it is chilly out here.

Let's go in.

Fine.

You know, I, uh--

I think the Cartwrights actually enjoyed
having dinner outside.

Um, what were you
and Hess, uh, talking about?

I think Hoss wants to marry me,
Emilia.

Oh.

Well, are you considering it?

Yes, I am.

You know, you were right.

Hoss is different from any man
I've ever known.

Well, did you tell him anything
about yourself?

No.

Aren't you afraid it might come up?

Strangely enough, I don't think
it would make any difference.

Do you know, Emilia,

he talked about
growing old together?

You know,
I never thought about that,

growing old.

Well, good morning, Mr. Cartwright.
Good morning, Miss Ragan.

I'm just having some coffee,
will you join me?

Well, I'd like to very much

but, uh, I have so many things
I must do in town.

My son Adam
is coming in tomorrow.

Tomorrow evening we're having
a little dinner party at our home,

and we were hoping that you and
your sister would join us, just family.

Well, I would be delighted. Hoss has
told us so much about Adam.

Well, I'm sure you'll have a great deal
to talk about in common.

He's just spent the past few weeks
in San Francisco.

San Francisco?
Yes, yes.

Would, uh--?
Would 7:00 tomorrow be all right?

Yes. Yes, that would be fine.

Good, we'll be expecting you.
Morning.

Morning.

So, anyway, old Sully never did
find out what happened to his teeth.

Good evening, Adam.

Evening, Miss Emilia.

Adam, I'd like you to meet
Miss Ragan Miller.

This is Miss Emilia's sister.
My brother Adam, Miss Ragan.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Won't you sit down, Adam?

Thank you. Ah.

I hope you brought some good news
about the mining venture.

Mining venture?
Mm.

Adam, while you were away,

Miss Emilia expressed some interest
in investing.

Oh, I see.

Well, I'm afraid it will be
an expensive installation,

but I think it'll be practical.

Heh, hey, Adam,

Miss Regan here just left
San Francisco about two weeks ago.

I know it's getting to be a big town,

but I thought maybe you might have
run into some of her friends there.

Ah, I knew very few
mining people there, Hoss.

Well, I ran into quite a few people
while I was there.

Someday, maybe you can tell me
who your friends are.

Yes. Maybe I can.

Oh, Ben, thank you
for a wonderful evening.

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, say, if Adam can get those figures
to the house in the morning,

I'll get a letter off to my broker
in San Francisco.

Um, going to have to convert
some of my holdings.

Well, I think something could be
arranged, do you think so?

Ten o'clock be convenient?
Mm-hm, 10:00 is fine.

Ragan.

Good night, Little Joe.
Good night.

Good night, Mr. Cartwright.

Thank you
for a very pleasant evening.

Well, the pleasure was all ours.

Thank you.
Good night.

Good night.
Good night, Miss Miller.

Good night, Hoss. Thank you.

Good night, Miss Ragan.

And it's me
that should be thanking you.

This is one of the nicest evenings
I can remember.

Good night, Miss Emilia.
Good night, Hoss.

Miss Ragan Miller. Hmm.
Yep.

Don't you go getting no ideas either,
brother, she's all staked out.

She's one of the sweetest little gals
I ever met.

Heh, will you look at him, Pa?

He's got the same expression
as a steer that's just been poleaxed.

That's probably the expression
I had on my face

when I was courting your mother.

He's pretty serious about her.
Mm.

Well, it's about time

one of you boys started
thinking seriously of getting married.

Are you trying to get rid of me?

Hey, Pa, I was just thinking, uh,
that since tomorrow is Saturday,

I'm wondering
if maybe tomorrow night

we couldn't get
some of the neighbors over here

and have a little get-together and
introduce Miss Ragan around, huh?

Well, I don't know,
it's a little shod notice

but I think something might
be arranged.

Good.

And if I'm real lucky, I might even
have a little announcement to make.

Heh. Hey, you son of a gun.
Congratulations!

We were just talking about that!

Now we get rid of you.

Good night, Ragan.
Emilia?

Yes?

Could you come in and talk a while?

Ah, well, it's, uh-- It's quite late.
Yes, I know that.

I just don't think I can sleep.

You probably realize, of course,

that Adam heard about you
in San Francisco.

Ugh, I know he did.

I could tell the way he looked at me.
Yes, I noticed that too.

He just couldn't seem
to take his eyes off you all evening.

Or aren't you worried about that?

No, not particularly.
Well, you should be.

You know,
once Adam tells Hoss about you

that not only ends your chances
with him, but all my plans as well.

Well, he's not going to tell Hoss.
And what's to stop him?

I've yet to meet the man
that I can't handle.

Ah, well,
Adam is not as naive as Hoss.

He's still a man.

And men are your business,
aren't they, Ragan?

Yes. Yes, they are, Emilia.

Just remember this,
the Ponderosa is my business.

What you don't seem to understand
is I don't want the Ponderosa.

I want Hoss.

Good night.

Adam, I'd, uh...

I really would like to study
these reports just a little longer.

All right, that's a good idea.

Sure you won't stay for coffee?

No, thanks, uh, I suppose Hoss got by
and told you about the party tonight.

Ha, ha, oh, yes. Yes, he came by
quite early to, uh-- To tell us about it.

Hmm, so that's why I didn't see him
at breakfast this morning.

He is an early bird, isn't he?

Well, he's also one of the finest men
I've ever had the pleasure to know.

I'd have to agree with you.

Listen, I wonder if I could speak to
your sister a minute.

Yes, yes, certainly.
She's, uh-- She's out in the front yard.

Thanks. We'll, uh,
see you tonight, then.

Bye.

This doesn't look like the same
Ragan Miller

I've heard about in San Francisco.

Oh, heh, you startled me.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

What did you hear about me
in San Francisco?

I think you and I both know the answer
to that one.

I suppose you've told Hoss.

No.

Well, thank you for that.

Don't flatter yourself.

I did it for his sake, not yours.

I wouldn't hurt Hoss.

Then why don't you stop
amusing yourself at his expense.

Is that what you think I'm doing?

Well, you are famous for the, uh,
manner in which you amuse yourself,

at least in San Francisco

and, uh, from what I've heard,
uh, from other men.

No, it isn't true. I'm not like that.

Aren't you?

I did nothing to encourage
those men.

And what about my brother?

Well, heh.

Look at me.

Do I look as though I'm going
out of my way to beguile him?

Do I look as though I'm trying
to entice him or anybody else?

I won't have you telling me
what to do.

All right. Then I'll tell him.

Tell him what?

That the woman he loves
is some special kind of monster?

That I am supposed to be responsible
for every man that falls in love with me,

but I'm not supposed
to give any love back.

I came hereto get away,
to be ugly, to be plain, to hide,

to get away from everything
I've been.

And I thought
I'd found something here.

I thought I'd found someone
who didn't want me

just as a possession to display

or a prize to show
how important he is.

Someone who saw past all of that
and wanted me just for myself.

Can you understand that?

Is that too much to ask?

No, I suppose it isn't.

You do understand,
don't you, Adam?

You understand.
All I ever wanted was to be loved.

Just to be loved.

I understand.

It won't work.

What do you mean?

A woman who kisses the brother
of the man she's going to marry

the way you just kissed me,

well, she's talking about
a different kind of love.

You can't really change what you are,
can you?

What are you doing?
I'm getting ready for the party.

Well, that's strange, you don't act
like you're in a party mood.

So Ragan Miller finally
met her match, did she?

You think I failed with Adam,
don't you?

Hmm.
Well, maybe I did.

But that's because
it wasn't me out there.

It was something
that you tried to make me.

It will cost me a great deal of money,
Ragan.

But I've waited years to see you
finally meet a man you can't handle.

A man who can humiliate you.

Those are the two driving passions
of your life, aren't they, Emilia?

Money and seeing me humiliated.

I tried to warn you.
But whatever that devil is,

it's so strong, and you,
you wouldn't listen.

You couldn't take my help.

Your help.

Your help
made me ugly out of jealousy.

Your help pushed me at Hoss
out of greed.

No, we both have our own
personal devils to feed, Emilia.

But I prefer mine to yours.

Ragan, what are you doing?

I'm taking back my own personality.

I'm going to show you and Adam
how the real Ragan Miller works.

Go ahead. Go ahead
and prove to Hoss that Adam is right.

It won't make any difference,
not a particle, because Hoss loves me,

and nothing anybody says
can change that.

Now, go ahead, get dressed.

I'll prove it to you.

There's nothing in this world
that would make me go there

and see you flaunt yourself.

Oh, yes, there is.

Your greed will make you come,
Emilia.

Mr. Hoss want to see you
in bunk house.

He very upset about something.

Oh, thanks, Hop Sing.

Hop Sing said, uh,
you wanted to see me.

Yeah. Where you been?

Well, you know where I've been.

I've been over to Miller house
to see Miss Emilia.

Miss Regan, you seen her too,
didn't you?

Didn't you?

You asking me or telling me?

I'm telling you.

Here we are.
Oh, boy.

One thing you know how to make, Pa,
that's punch.

Ha, ha, sure do.

What the heck was that?

What's this about?
Ask him.

What is this about?

Why were you fighting him?

I wasn't fighting him.

All right, why was he fighting you?

Hoss.

Now, Hoss, I must talk to you.

There ain't nothing to talk about.

Yes, there is.

Uh, Hoss, Adam wasn't trying to mm
you. He was trying to help you.

By making love to Ragan?

No, he went there to talk to her.
Sure he did.

But he ended up with her in his arms
and kissing her.

I'm in love with that woman.
I'm gonna marry her.

Don't you understand that?
What do you know about her?

No, Pa, what did you know
about my ma when you married her?

I knew everything I needed to know.

Fine, I know everything
I need to know about Regan.

You don't know everything.

You don't know
what Adam was trying to tell you.

No, Pa, I'm not gonna hear
anything bad about Ragan

from Adam or you or nobody else!

Son, don't blind yourself
to the truth about her.

I don't care about her past.

Hoss, it's not just the past,
I'm worried about the future.

Yes, fine, so am I.

I'm gonna marry her.

That's gonna be my future.

Hey, Pa, the guests are arriving.

Well, keep them waiting.
No.

They're my guests and for my party,
I'll invite them in.

Hoss, let me get you some punch.
No, thank you.

Hey, Hoss, come on,
have a good time.

IWill.

Ah, Ragan,
you sure do look beautiful.

I was trying to look pretty tonight
for you.

Oh, you're a sight more
than just plain pretty.

Well, if you don't like it, I can change.

No, no, no. It'll take
a little getting used to, I reckon.

How are you, Miss Emilia?
Just fine, thank you, Hoss.

I ain't never been too good at this,
but we'll try.

I found what I wanted, Hoss.
A man, not a pretty dancing master.

Ragan,

I couldn't help seeing
what happened this afternoon

between you and Adam.

From now on, we'll just forget
that that ever happened at all.

I wanted to tell you, Hoss,
but I was afraid I'd lose you.

Regan, you ain't ever gotta
be afraid of that.

Thank you, Hoss.

I couldn't stop him.
You could see that.

I know.

Your sister looks lovely tonight.
Thank you.

Very fine dancing.

Yes.

Excuse me.

May I?

Thank you.

Oh, Mr. Cartwright,
I can't dance another step.

Could we get some air?

You have been dancing
quite a bit tonight.

Of course, let's go outside.

You really love this land of yours,
don't you, Mr. Cartwright?

Heh, yes.

But then, of course, I'm rather
prejudiced in favor of the Ponderosa.

Yes. Hoss is too.

He often speaks of it
as if it were a woman.

Yes.

Yes. Hoss loves it very much.

But, of course,
Hoss always sees everything

with uncomplicated honest eyes.

How do you think he sees me?

As the woman he wants to marry.

And, uh, how do you see me,
Mr. Cartwright?

Well, that depends upon
which Ragan Miller I'm looking at.

Well, do you approve
of this Ragan Miller?

Or do you prefer
my sister's version?

I would guess that
the way you are now

is the version that most men
would know you as.

I see Adam has informed you
of my, heh,

infamous past.

Did he also tell you
what happened this afternoon?

Yes.

Well, I can imagine
what interpretation he put on it.

That's not important.

What is important is Hoss,
his happiness.

You don't think
I can provide that happiness?

No.

Frankly, I don't.

But my son, unlike, perhaps,
most men that you've known,

gives his love freely,

openly, honestly, without reservation.

And even the knowledge of your past
couldn't shake it.

If he can forgive that,
why can't you?

I suppose I could

if I thought
that you'd really changed.

But you don't believe that?

No.

Well, heh.

It doesn't really matter
what you think, does it? Or Adam.

Because Hoss
will marry me anyway.

Yes.

Yes, Hoss would marry you anyway.

But the love that will forgive you
your mistakes of the past

would never forgive you
those same mistakes in the future.

I won't make any mistakes.

Won't you?

Just this afternoon,
Hoss saw you kissed Adam.

No, but Hoss understood.

Did he?

When Adam came home,
Hoss almost killed him.

Now, what do you think would happen
if you made that same mistake again?

Hey.

What are you two doing out here?

Oh, we're just, uh--
Just admiring the night, Hoss.

Uh, I better get in to our guests.
Excuse me.

There's, uh--
There's a ring around the moon.

Could mean that
it's gonna rain tomorrow.

Hoss,

about this afternoon--
Ragan.

I told you we weren't gonna talk
about that anymore.

Well, what if I were to tell you
that it wasn't Adam's fault,

that I'd encouraged him.

You wouldn't do that.

Well, What if I did?

You ain't like that.

Hoss, I could be like anything.
You don't know anything about me.

Things like that could have happened
to me in the past.

That's all over, Ragan.

It don't matter.

You don't have to tell me
about those things.

It just don't matter.

No more than you getting
all dolled up for this party.

It just don't make no difference.

I could tell you things
that would matter.

Oh, I know
I ain't the first fella or the only.

And I certainly ain't the handsomest.

I got a mirror that tells me that
every morning.

And ain't nobody can blame you for
searching around for something better.

But once you made up your mind

that I was the one,

then you wouldn't have to search
no further, ever.

Your father was telling me
how much you love this Ponderosa.

What if I were to ask you to leave it?
To go away?

Why would you wanna do that?

I don't know. What if I just did?
I hated it and I wanted to live in a city.

Oh...

Well, if that's what it'd take
to make you happy,

then that's what we gotta do.

And leave your father and brothers?

Ragan,

when we're married,

we're gonna do whatever it takes
to make you happy.

Ah, you feel. You feel.

What can I tell you
to make you realize what I am?

Stop it. You stop it right now.

I don't wanna hear
no more talk like that.

Ragan, you love me
and that's all that counts.

Love?

Haven't you understood anything
I've been trying to tell you?

If I loved you, that would be
the worst thing that could happen,

can't you see that?

My love would destroy you, Hoss,

because you'd have to share it
with every other man I'd ever meet.

Now do you know?

Stage is leaving, miss.

Hyah!

Hi, Adam.

Well, there goes one
we'll never forget, huh?

Yeah.

Let's go home.
