is brought to you in
living color on NBC.

4
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,464
Dad-burn, look at him go.
5
00:00:38,572 --> 00:00:40,598
All the way from
St. Joe in eight days.
6
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,019
That's something... you know,
that's less than half the time
7
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:45,239
they've ever done it in
before. That's hard to believe.
8
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:46,904
I believe it's a miracle.
9
00:00:47,014 --> 00:00:49,381
I tell you, this Pony Express
is gonna be the biggest thing
10
00:00:49,483 --> 00:00:50,781
that ever happened to the West.
11
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:52,250
What an idea.
12
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,245
You know, they put together
the best string of thoroughbreds
13
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:10,760
in the country for this job.
14
00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:12,100
They're gonna need 'em
15
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:14,150
getting over the Sierra
into Sacramento from here...
16
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:16,871
The last leg of the
trip and the toughest.
17
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:20,038
I don't think we have a horse
in the Ponderosa this fast.
18
00:01:21,982 --> 00:01:24,577
I wouldn't be so sure of that.
19
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:29,246
Hey, Joe!

♪♪
21
00:03:25,672 --> 00:03:27,197
I had a vision.
22
00:03:27,307 --> 00:03:28,206
Yes, sir.
23
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,402
A vision of this land.
24
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:33,412
I saw the populous East
and the great, growing West
25
00:03:33,513 --> 00:03:35,846
tied together with
a single thread,
26
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:40,114
a thread of courageous
young horsemen riding the wind,
27
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,382
never leaving the saddle,
28
00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:45,323
an ever-changing
group of horsemen
29
00:03:45,425 --> 00:03:48,918
whose determination
and strength and courage
30
00:03:49,029 --> 00:03:52,261
will make the Pony
Express a living reality.
31
00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:56,665
That was my vision,
my hope, my dream.
32
00:03:56,770 --> 00:03:59,205
But before we can do all that,
33
00:03:59,306 --> 00:04:02,071
I must have pledges
of your support,
34
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:04,406
pledges that all other
communities so far
35
00:04:04,511 --> 00:04:05,740
have given me.
36
00:04:05,846 --> 00:04:08,611
And as soon as our
receipts start rolling in
37
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:12,083
and a grateful government
grants us a mail subsidy...
38
00:04:12,185 --> 00:04:14,586
How do we know that'll happen?
39
00:04:14,688 --> 00:04:17,157
I been trying to get
'em to shake loose
40
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,158
for ten years,
for my stage line.
41
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:22,491
All I got so far is six
government mules,
42
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:26,432
three inspectors,
and a tax bill.
43
00:04:28,235 --> 00:04:31,796
Ludlow, you're asking
us to put our money
44
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,737
into this express
company of yours.
45
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,900
I'd like to know a
little more about you
46
00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:37,409
before I put a nickel in it.
47
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:39,878
You want to know about
Charles Ludlow, huh?
48
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:44,710
You ever hear of the Erie
Canal Riverboat Service?
49
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:47,617
The New Orleans Clipper Lines?
50
00:04:47,721 --> 00:04:51,556
The Washington and
Boston Packet and Mail?
51
00:04:51,658 --> 00:04:54,355
My father formed
those companies.
52
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:59,323
Yes, uh, gentlemen,
53
00:04:59,432 --> 00:05:02,266
I was privileged to
make my contribution
54
00:05:02,369 --> 00:05:04,736
to the growth of
this great land,
55
00:05:04,838 --> 00:05:06,534
but I consider those
accomplishments
56
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,131
to be less than nothing
57
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:11,473
compared to the task
I'm embarked on now.
58
00:05:11,578 --> 00:05:13,740
'Cause I've long
known of the cryin' need.
59
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:16,612
What about Winnemucca
and his Paiutes?
60
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:18,617
You think they're
just gonna sit there
61
00:05:18,718 --> 00:05:21,449
and let you ride
across their land?
62
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:23,285
Well, now, let's
not start worrying
63
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:24,551
about a bunch of redskins.
64
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:26,388
It's my job to handle them.
65
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,724
Winnemucca's braves are...
66
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:32,266
more than just "a bunch of
redskins," Mr. Wade. Uh...
67
00:05:32,365 --> 00:05:35,199
they're about as fierce a tribe
as you can find around here.
68
00:05:35,302 --> 00:05:37,134
I think they're to
be reckoned with.
69
00:05:37,237 --> 00:05:39,468
Well, you haven't had any
trouble with Winnemucca
70
00:05:39,573 --> 00:05:41,769
since that fight at
Pyramid Lake, have you?
71
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,571
No.
72
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:47,747
No, but he's a...
he's a strange man.
73
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:51,012
You never know what's
going on in his mind.
74
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:54,485
Oh, he... might let you
ride across his territory
75
00:05:54,588 --> 00:05:56,318
without any trouble at all.
76
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:58,324
Yeah, he could do that.
77
00:05:58,425 --> 00:06:01,259
But then he might just
as well decide to fight.
78
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:05,059
Now, look, did we come
here for advice or dollars?
79
00:06:05,165 --> 00:06:08,260
You heard what Mr. Ludlow
said about needing your support.
80
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,064
Now, how about it?
81
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,071
Thank you, Curtis.
82
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:16,268
My partner, Mr. Wade,
has, as always, hit the nail
83
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,675
exactly on the head.
84
00:06:18,778 --> 00:06:22,715
Our most pressing
need right now is money.
85
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:30,714
I'll pledge $6,000.
86
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:32,725
Thank you.
87
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:35,728
By golly, if Ben Cartwright
thinks that much of the deal,
88
00:06:35,829 --> 00:06:36,922
I'm for it, too.
89
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,261
You can put me down
for 2,000, Ludlow.
90
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:41,164
I'll go for 1,500.
91
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:43,169
Excellent. Uh...
92
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:46,172
you just write down here the
amount you intend to invest.
93
00:06:46,273 --> 00:06:50,267
Uh... start with Mr. Cartwright.
94
00:06:51,278 --> 00:06:53,838
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.
95
00:06:53,947 --> 00:06:57,543
Well, the, uh, Cartwright
trick rider, I do believe.
96
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:02,122
We had a little
race outside of town.
97
00:07:02,222 --> 00:07:04,020
Yeah, well, you still
owe me a rematch.
98
00:07:04,124 --> 00:07:07,026
Well, I'd much rather you
raced for the Pony Express
99
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:08,595
than against it.
100
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:10,789
- Uh, my name's Jabez Ludlow.
- Good to see you.
101
00:07:10,897 --> 00:07:11,897
Why don't you join us?
102
00:07:11,998 --> 00:07:13,330
Well, I've been
thinking about it.
103
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:16,403
Well, uh, I think we have plenty
of work for this young man to do
104
00:07:16,503 --> 00:07:17,801
on the Ponderosa.
105
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:20,339
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- Thank you.
106
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,137
Mr. Cartwright. Uh...
107
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:26,111
my partner, Mr. Wade, and I
108
00:07:26,212 --> 00:07:30,115
would like to speak with
you privately, if we may.
109
00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:33,945
Fine.
110
00:07:34,054 --> 00:07:35,054
Boys, wait for me.
111
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,723
Joe...
112
00:07:40,827 --> 00:07:43,592
you ain't seriously thinking
about joining this outfit.
113
00:07:43,697 --> 00:07:45,996
Well, why not? Sure, I'm
seriously thinking about it.
114
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,899
You heard what Mr. Ludlow
said about being one
115
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:50,168
of the most important things
to ever happen to the West.
116
00:07:50,236 --> 00:07:53,297
Yeah, but, Joe, you're
gonna risk your life.
117
00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:56,137
Well, it's my life, isn't it?
118
00:08:04,217 --> 00:08:06,948
Gentlemen, I... I
don't know what to say.
119
00:08:07,053 --> 00:08:09,079
Say yes, Ben.
120
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:10,623
You're the man we want,
121
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:13,319
the man we need to make
this a going enterprise.
122
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:16,853
I've been watching the...
123
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:20,024
progress of the Pony Express
with a great deal of interest.
124
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:22,500
Ben, as a member of
our board of directors,
125
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:24,730
you'll be invaluable to us.
126
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,569
You see, it takes men
not only with vision
127
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:29,836
but men with a practical
knowledge of the West,
128
00:08:29,943 --> 00:08:32,708
uh, to make a thing
like this a going one.
129
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:35,682
What do you say, Mr. Cartwright?
130
00:08:35,782 --> 00:08:37,444
You want to be a part of it?
131
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:42,855
Yeah.
132
00:08:44,591 --> 00:08:47,584
Yes, I want to be part of it.
133
00:08:58,038 --> 00:08:59,199
Look at him go!
134
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:01,365
He's scooping up
sand in his back pocket!
135
00:09:07,614 --> 00:09:09,515
"Not over 25 years.
136
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:12,916
"Must be expert riders and
willing to risk death daily.

00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:14,578
"Orphans preferred.

$125 a month"?!
139
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:28,595
Our horses can't
carry that much weight
140
00:09:28,701 --> 00:09:30,602
over the distances
we have to travel.
141
00:09:30,703 --> 00:09:31,703
Sorry.
142
00:09:35,175 --> 00:09:36,473
Next.
143
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,272
Name.
144
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:40,279
Aaron Bornstein.
145
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:43,612
I weigh 130 pounds, see
lightning and hear thunder.
146
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:46,819
Can you ride a horse?
147
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,287
Mister, I was born on a horse.
148
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:51,688
Well, boy, you're gonna
get a chance to prove it.
149
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:52,986
You mean I'm hired?
150
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:55,119
Yeah, you're now a
Pony Express rider.
151
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:56,890
Pick a bunk in the back room.
152
00:09:59,132 --> 00:10:01,363
- Name.
- Pat Henley.
153
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:03,562
- What do you weigh?
- 129 pounds.
154
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:05,161
That's about right.
155
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:07,331
I was born on a horse, too.
156
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,466
Pick a bunk in the back room.
157
00:10:11,678 --> 00:10:13,670
Excuse me, friend.
158
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:21,311
- Looking for a job, friend?
- Yeah.
159
00:10:21,421 --> 00:10:22,998
- Where you from?
- Right here in Virginia City.
160
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:25,787
- Got a ranch right outside of town.
- Cartwright!
161
00:10:25,892 --> 00:10:27,383
Hey, Jabez, how you doing?
162
00:10:27,494 --> 00:10:29,395
Fine. You, uh,
decided to join us, huh?
163
00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:31,226
Yeah, yeah. You
finally talked me into it.
164
00:10:31,331 --> 00:10:32,822
I'm glad.
165
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:35,663
It's a big job. We, uh...
we need riders like you.
166
00:10:35,768 --> 00:10:37,862
Son, it sound like
you got the fever.
167
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,405
I have.
168
00:10:39,506 --> 00:10:42,408
You'll get it, too. I can
guarantee that, mister.
169
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:44,086
Just so that paycheck
comes in each month.
170
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:46,238
It don't matter to me
one way or the other.
171
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:48,645
I better get my place in line.
172
00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:50,876
- I'll see you later.
- Right.
173
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:54,820
When are you gonna
learn how to read?
174
00:10:54,921 --> 00:10:56,753
All right, it says,
175
00:10:56,856 --> 00:10:58,825
"Neither rain nor
sleet nor gloom of night
176
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:01,292
will stay the
courier on his way."
177
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:02,623
I guess they never heard
178
00:11:02,729 --> 00:11:04,561
of a horse stepping
in a prairie dog hole.
179
00:11:08,201 --> 00:11:10,193
All right.
180
00:11:11,204 --> 00:11:13,298
Pay's 125 a month.
181
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:16,137
That's more money than most
of you have seen in your lives.
182
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:19,076
Out of that, you buy your
own gear and handguns.
183
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:20,477
Handguns?
184
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:22,139
What about using a rifle?
185
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,444
Like to keep
Indians at a distance.
186
00:11:24,551 --> 00:11:27,612
Well, that's why we give
you fast grain-fed horses.
187
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,211
You use 'em for speed.
188
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:31,689
Outrun 'em, don't
try to outfight 'em.
189
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:36,087
And I've got one rule
you better all remember:
190
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:39,257
bring yourselves
and the mail in on time
191
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:41,459
or bring yourselves in dead.
192
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:47,404
That's all. Be here tomorrow
morning ready to go to work.
193
00:11:49,075 --> 00:11:50,407
You're Joe
Cartwright, aren't you?
194
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:51,910
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
195
00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:53,489
I'm Emmett Carver from
down Carson City way.
196
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:54,572
Hi, Emmett.
197
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:55,791
Your dad and mine
know each other.
198
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:57,026
- Oh, yeah, that's right.
- Yeah.
199
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:58,730
Yeah, I heard my pa
mention him many times.
200
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:00,083
What do you think of that Wade?
201
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:01,017
He sure like to kid, don't he?
202
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,383
Oh, yeah.
203
00:12:02,488 --> 00:12:04,033
He's a real barrel of
laughs, that's for sure.
204
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:07,619
You know, I told my dad this
was gonna be a real safe job.
205
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,128
Wait'll he hears about
that number one rule,
206
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:12,392
on schedule or
dead... That'd kill him.
207
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:14,399
Please, please,
don't use that word.
208
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,436
- I'll see you later.
- All right.
209
00:12:17,537 --> 00:12:21,304
Hey, fellas, here's the
schedule, who rides and where.
210
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:22,966
Excuse me, fellas.
211
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:24,908
Joe...
212
00:12:26,346 --> 00:12:28,315
- Yeah.
- Uh, don't mind Mr. Wade.
213
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,315
He's, uh... he's
tough but he's fair.
214
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,941
He'll take care of his men.
215
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:33,519
How long you known him?
216
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:35,521
Mm, about three years.
217
00:12:35,622 --> 00:12:38,091
Used to be an Indian
fighter in the southwest.
218
00:12:38,191 --> 00:12:41,093
Pop thinks he's the man
to make this operation work.
219
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:42,992
I'm inclined to agree with him.
220
00:12:43,096 --> 00:12:46,032
Well, I got to admit,
he talks tough enough.
221
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:47,409
I'll see you tomorrow.
222
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:49,425
Right.
223
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,268
- Hey, Joe?
- Yeah, Hoss.
224
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:54,273
Was afraid I'd find you here.
225
00:12:54,374 --> 00:12:57,139
I saw your horse
tied up out here.
226
00:12:57,243 --> 00:12:59,235
You know, we got a
lot of work to do, Joe.
227
00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:01,745
We got to move all those cattle
down from that north pasture.
228
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:05,414
Yeah, well, I'm afraid
I'm not gonna be able
229
00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:06,542
to help you move 'em.
230
00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:08,713
Joe, you didn't...?
231
00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:10,187
Yeah, I joined 'em.
232
00:13:13,693 --> 00:13:15,685
Pa sure ain't gonna like that.
233
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:19,856
I know. I'm not looking
forward to telling him, either.
234
00:13:19,966 --> 00:13:22,367
Well, I guess I
better get on home.
235
00:13:28,174 --> 00:13:31,201
I... I sure don't
understand you, Joseph.
236
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:34,213
Why couldn't you at least
have talked to me about it?
237
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:36,215
Because I was afraid
you were gonna say no.
238
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:38,444
Because you were afraid
I was going to say no.
239
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:40,884
And could there possibly
be a reason for me saying no?
240
00:13:40,987 --> 00:13:42,979
- Yes, sir, but I... oh...
- Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
241
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:45,024
With Adam gone, I
need both of you here.
242
00:13:45,124 --> 00:13:46,422
This ranch won't run by itself.
243
00:13:46,526 --> 00:13:48,552
Look, Pa, you gave
money to the Pony Express.
244
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,129
You're on the
board of directors.
245
00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:52,389
Now I just don't see why
you won't let me ride for 'em.
246
00:13:52,432 --> 00:13:55,431
Because I... Because
I need you here.
247
00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:57,629
Oh, now, you know
that's not the reason.
248
00:13:59,138 --> 00:14:01,266
Look, Pa, nothing's
gonna happen to me.
249
00:14:01,374 --> 00:14:03,809
Look, you-you told me how
important the Pony Express was;
250
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:06,379
that's it's the biggest thing
that ever happened in the West.
251
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,809
Well, I want to be part of it...
252
00:14:10,917 --> 00:14:13,113

00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,695

young man, you
get yourself upstairs
255
00:14:34,841 --> 00:14:36,810
and pack those bags of yours
256
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:39,640
if you're going to report to the
Pony Express in the morning.
257
00:14:39,746 --> 00:14:40,975
Now, get off with you.
258
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:43,973
Yes, sir.
259
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:46,519
Hey, don't look so sad.
260
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,418
You lose about 190 pounds,
I'll put a word in for you.
261

I lose 190 pounds, I
couldn't keep a saddle on me.

00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:57,126
Pa... you know
what those fellers
263

00:23:20,099 --> 00:23:23,297
Oh, yes, he's a very
famous man, you know.
349
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:24,980
Caught the imagination
350
00:23:25,004 --> 00:23:27,064
of uncounted thousands.
351
00:23:27,172 --> 00:23:29,937
All right, friend, here's
your chance to meet him.
352
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:34,672
This is Mr. Charles
Ludlow, my partner.
353
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:36,715
This is Mr. Tully of
the Washington Globe.
354
00:23:36,815 --> 00:23:40,513
- Oh.
- It's a real honor, Mr. Ludlow.
355
00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:43,521
It isn't often that I stand in
the presence of greatness.
356
00:23:43,622 --> 00:23:48,688
Well, now, you
flatter me, Mr. Tully.
357
00:23:48,794 --> 00:23:50,456
Oh, no.
358
00:23:50,562 --> 00:23:54,590
My editor sent me 3,000 miles
just to write a story about you
359
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:57,636
and the way you've built
your great Pony Express.
360
00:23:57,736 --> 00:23:59,796
Well...
361
00:23:59,905 --> 00:24:01,999
I'll certainly tell 'em
all I know about it.
362
00:24:03,575 --> 00:24:05,635
Would you like some coffee?
363
00:24:05,744 --> 00:24:07,474
Well, I'd rather have a drink?
364
00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:09,445
Oh, I'm afraid
365
00:24:09,548 --> 00:24:12,416
we don't have spirits
in this office, Mr. Tully.
366
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:15,887
Oh.
367
00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:18,116
Well, in that
case, coffee it is.
368
00:24:18,223 --> 00:24:19,748
Uh, Charles, I'd
like you to look
369
00:24:19,858 --> 00:24:21,383
at the bills for
those new horses.
370
00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:22,552
Curtis, that can wait.
371
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:24,186
You know I don't
care about business.
372
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:25,821
Get our guest some coffee,
373
00:24:25,931 --> 00:24:27,297
and bring me some, too.
374
00:24:27,399 --> 00:24:30,460
You see, Mr. Tully...
375
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:35,098
this is more than just a story.
376
00:24:35,207 --> 00:24:37,870
This is a saga.
377
00:24:40,946 --> 00:24:42,915
I had a vision, a great one.
378
00:24:43,015 --> 00:24:45,177
A vision of this land of ours.
379
00:24:45,284 --> 00:24:48,618
The populous East and
the great West tied together
380
00:24:48,721 --> 00:24:50,383
by a single thread of riders.
381
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:52,014
- Mr. Ludlow...
- Of courageous young..
382
00:24:52,124 --> 00:24:54,923
- Mr. Ludlow?
- Yeah?
383
00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:57,019
I, uh... I want to
get this all down.
384
00:24:57,129 --> 00:24:58,927
- Ah...
- But, you see, I-I'm...
385
00:24:59,031 --> 00:25:00,863
At the moment,
I'm still a bit groggy
386
00:25:00,966 --> 00:25:03,595
from my-my trip, and I
wonder if it'd be possible
387
00:25:03,702 --> 00:25:07,434
to arrange an interview
for, say, this afternoon?
388
00:25:07,539 --> 00:25:11,342
Oh, well, um...
389
00:25:11,443 --> 00:25:14,777
Well, of course, at-at your
convenience, Mr. Tully.
390
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,405
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
391
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:18,711
And I want you to
know, the whole nation,
392
00:25:18,817 --> 00:25:22,982
the whole world is
waiting to hear your story.
393
00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:27,225
You're the man of the hour.
394
00:25:27,326 --> 00:25:29,921
- Believe me.
- Thank you.
395
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:31,292
Thank you, Mr. Tully.
396
00:25:31,397 --> 00:25:33,025
I'll... I'll see you later.
397
00:25:35,234 --> 00:25:36,702
Curtis!
398
00:25:36,802 --> 00:25:38,862
Curtis, did you hear
what he said about me?
399
00:25:38,971 --> 00:25:40,735
Oh, Curtis, we're going places.
400
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:43,365
Who knows what we might do!
401
00:25:43,475 --> 00:25:46,104
"Man of the hour," he said.
402
00:25:46,211 --> 00:25:49,375
"Stand in the
presence of greatness."
403
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:54,247
Why, the Pony Express
might be a stepping stone.
404
00:25:54,353 --> 00:25:56,584
A great opportunity!
405
00:25:56,688 --> 00:25:58,680
Think of that, my friend.
406
00:25:58,791 --> 00:26:00,987
A whole nation at my feet.
407
00:26:01,093 --> 00:26:03,460
Think of it, my friend!
408
00:26:04,696 --> 00:26:07,165
I have been
thinking of it, Charles.
409
00:26:09,435 --> 00:26:12,633
Here, drink your coffee
before it gets cold.
410
00:26:31,723 --> 00:26:34,625
I wish you could've
known Emmett Carver.
411
00:26:34,726 --> 00:26:38,163
He was really a heck of a guy.
412
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:41,028
Always laughing
and joking all the time.
413
00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:43,534
I know, Joe.

Joe, you ride again
415
00:26:45,571 --> 00:26:47,437
the first thing in the
morning, don't you?
416
00:26:51,143 --> 00:26:53,169
Yeah, I guess I do. I...
417
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:56,546

Pa...

00:27:04,857 --> 00:27:07,088
you reckon you could ride
into Winnemucca's camp
420
00:27:07,192 --> 00:27:08,558
and talk with him?
421
00:27:10,929 --> 00:27:12,864
I don't know.
422
00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:15,491
I did sit in to that peace
meeting with him...
423
00:27:15,601 --> 00:27:17,126
Pyramid Lake.
424
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:20,268
Well, he ain't very peaceful

It's been a long

with an old friend,
432

and to ask why my old
friend kills the pony riders.
433
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:22,465
They do no harm.
434
00:28:22,568 --> 00:28:25,003
They carry only letters,
435

sometimes medicine.
436
00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:29,097
They are men of peace.

Hear me, Ben Cartwright.
438
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:37,579
First one pony
rider, then wagons,
439
00:28:37,683 --> 00:28:43,051
then many white men,
many white guns...

But it would not
happen that way.

00:28:49,528 --> 00:28:51,724
And there is a way to avoid it.
443
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:54,163
By making a treaty,
444
00:28:54,266 --> 00:28:56,599
and setting down in that
treaty the number of riders
445
00:28:56,702 --> 00:28:58,534
that you would allow
to cross your land.
446
00:28:58,637 --> 00:29:00,503
And that way, you could
control the situation.

heard many false white words.

How can you speak
to me of treaties!
451
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:22,159
You are a father.
452
00:29:22,261 --> 00:29:24,856
You have sons.
453
00:29:24,963 --> 00:29:29,025
Do you wish to see your
sons die before their time?

if they come on my land...
463
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,909
I will kill them.
464
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:41,465

- Yeah. We saw him, all right.

Yeah. Where's Mr. Ludlow?

He just went down to
the hotel with Mr. Wade.
467
00:30:45,010 --> 00:30:46,988
What did Winnemucca say?
Is there any chance for a treaty?
468
00:30:47,012 --> 00:30:48,571
No.
469

Now, Joseph... I
know I haven't any right
470
00:30:55,721 --> 00:30:58,384
to ask you not to
make your run, but...
471
00:30:58,490 --> 00:31:02,018
as a father, I'd sure feel a
whole lot better if you didn't.
472

Pa, you know I can't do that.
473
00:31:04,329 --> 00:31:05,957
If I don't make the ride,
474
00:31:06,064 --> 00:31:08,431
one of the other fellas
is gonna have to. I...
475
00:31:08,533 --> 00:31:11,093
I can't back out just
'cause the going gets rough.
476
00:31:16,575 --> 00:31:18,476
- Come on.
- Look, Joe...
477
00:31:18,577 --> 00:31:20,478
delay it as long as
you can, anyhow.
478
00:31:20,579 --> 00:31:23,447
Let Pa have a chance
to talk to Ludlow.
479
00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:24,548
Yeah.

00:31:48,907 --> 00:31:51,809
Let's wait a while; Pa's
down talking to someone.
481
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:00,985
Mr. Wade, we have no choice.
482
00:32:01,086 --> 00:32:02,987
We've got to reroute
the Pony Express
483
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:04,989
- around Winnemucca's terri...
- We can't!
484
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:06,319
It's as simple as that.
485
00:32:06,425 --> 00:32:09,020
Wade, what do you want
anyhow, an Indian war?
486
00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:14,332
It'll take us months to build
those new relay stations.
487
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:16,334
If we stop those riders now,
488
00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:18,336
we'll never get that
government subsidy.
489
00:32:18,437 --> 00:32:20,804
And without that, we're
finished, out of business.
490
00:32:20,906 --> 00:32:22,465
Well, as far as I'm concerned,
491
00:32:22,574 --> 00:32:25,373
no business is worth the
loss of a single human life!
492
00:32:25,477 --> 00:32:28,879
And no Indian is gonna
dictate terms to me.
493
00:32:28,980 --> 00:32:30,972
If we have to lock
horns, with them, so be it,
494
00:32:31,082 --> 00:32:33,017
- but I say...
- I say Ben is right!
495
00:32:34,453 --> 00:32:39,316
We'll just... have
to cease operations
496
00:32:39,424 --> 00:32:41,552
till the stations are built.

was doing that.

this before the board,

00:34:26,331 --> 00:34:28,664
live up to your
expectations of them.
523
00:34:28,767 --> 00:34:31,066
But that Mr. Ludlow...
524
00:34:31,169 --> 00:34:33,798
everybody I talk to says,
"Mr. Ludlow says this,
525
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:35,635
Mr. Ludlow says that."
526
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:38,767
Mr. Ludlow is a past
master at saying things.
527
00:34:38,877 --> 00:34:40,869
Doing things is something else.
528
00:34:43,882 --> 00:34:47,182
Why am I telling you
this? Do your story.
529
00:34:53,858 --> 00:34:55,190
Well, now...
530
00:34:55,293 --> 00:34:58,058
Ludlow is only a story
if he runs the Express.
531
00:34:58,163 --> 00:35:00,155
Now, if that doesn't
happen to be true...
532
00:35:00,265 --> 00:35:01,756
Why should I lie to you?
533
00:35:01,866 --> 00:35:04,028
I can give you a lot of reasons.
534
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:06,832
How about resentment,
just for openers?
535
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:13,772
Look, Mr. Wade,
Ludlow is my story
536
00:35:13,878 --> 00:35:15,813
until I learn otherwise.
537
00:35:15,914 --> 00:35:18,509
And to my readers, he's
the leader of this outfit,
538
00:35:18,617 --> 00:35:19,983
the visionary.
539
00:35:20,085 --> 00:35:23,647
To be quite frank, he's the
dashing man on the white horse.
540
00:35:23,755 --> 00:35:27,055
And what if he fell
off that white horse?
541
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:31,661
Oh, now, that would
be another matter.
542
00:35:31,763 --> 00:35:33,425
But let me caution you...
543
00:35:33,531 --> 00:35:36,797
You don't knock down a man
like Charles Ludlow very easily.
544
00:35:36,901 --> 00:35:39,063
I know that.
545
00:35:41,539 --> 00:35:44,805
I was going through some
of Ludlow's files the other day.
546
00:35:44,909 --> 00:35:47,902
I ran into some very
interesting reading.
547
00:35:53,118 --> 00:35:55,110
How's that for openers?
548
00:35:57,889 --> 00:36:00,950
Looks like you're holding
all the aces, Mr. Wade.
549
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:19,068
You see, gentlemen,
it's quite simple.
550
00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:21,976
We must have a peace
treaty with Winnemucca.
551
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,380
- No, Ludlow, you can't...
- Now, now, please, please, please.
552
00:36:25,483 --> 00:36:29,445
I have prepared...
just such a treaty.
553
00:36:29,554 --> 00:36:32,547
There is the document. Huh?
554
00:36:32,657 --> 00:36:35,183
And I think they'll find
that quite acceptable.
555
00:36:35,293 --> 00:36:39,094
You see, we offer to pay
for any one of our riders
556
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:41,860
who crosses Winnemucca's lands.
557
00:36:41,966 --> 00:36:43,935
The last time we
tried to get a treaty
558
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:46,004
with that old Paiute,
it took almost a year.
559
00:36:46,104 --> 00:36:48,096
Now, why should it be
any different this time?
560
00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:50,107
It won't be any different...
561
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,905
not unless we come up
with some gesture of goodwill
562
00:36:53,011 --> 00:36:54,377
to Winnemucca.
563
00:36:54,479 --> 00:36:56,880
Cartwright, talk sense.
564
00:36:58,817 --> 00:37:01,184
Our only chance to
survive is to obtain
565
00:37:01,286 --> 00:37:02,811
a government subsidy.
566
00:37:02,921 --> 00:37:04,651
Isn't that right, Mr. Ludlow?
567
00:37:04,756 --> 00:37:07,316
- Well, I...
- Well, isn't it?
568
00:37:07,425 --> 00:37:08,791
Yes, yes, yes!
569
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:11,590
But I still don't see what
that has to do with this treaty.
570
00:37:11,696 --> 00:37:13,136
We-we can't go on
conducting business
571
00:37:13,164 --> 00:37:14,496
without a treaty
with the Indians.
572
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:18,058
If we have to suspend the
Pony Express, even for one day...
573
00:37:18,169 --> 00:37:20,195
If we hold up the
mail, we've failed!
574
00:37:20,305 --> 00:37:22,297
No, no, I tell you, no!
575
00:37:22,407 --> 00:37:24,467
I don't have to
tell you gentlemen
576
00:37:24,576 --> 00:37:27,808
the financial structure
of this company is shaky.
577
00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:31,076
If we don't get that subsidy,
we're out of business.
578
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:32,946
Now, Curtis, we'll
do this my way!
579
00:37:33,051 --> 00:37:34,917
And I insist on a
treaty with the...
580
00:37:35,019 --> 00:37:37,079
- You insist?
- I insist!
581
00:37:37,188 --> 00:37:39,248
What makes you think
you've got the right
582
00:37:39,357 --> 00:37:40,882
to insist or anything else?
583
00:37:43,361 --> 00:37:46,160
As soon as our friends here
take a look at these papers,
584
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:48,631
we'll see who they'll
listen to, you or me.
585
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:53,504
What are these papers, Wade?
586
00:37:53,605 --> 00:37:55,870
- His creditors' reports.
- Creditors' reports?!
587
00:37:55,974 --> 00:37:57,670
What kind of creditors, Wade?
588
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,369
I'll tell you what kind.
589
00:37:59,477 --> 00:38:01,105
The men who've
backed and supported
590
00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:03,443
various and assorted companies,
591
00:38:03,548 --> 00:38:06,108
such as the Erie Canal
Riverboat Service,
592
00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:09,381
New Orleans Clipper Line,
Washington and Boston Packet,
593
00:38:09,487 --> 00:38:11,422
all of which were
headed by Mr. Ludlow,
594
00:38:11,523 --> 00:38:13,116
and all of which went broke!
595
00:38:13,224 --> 00:38:15,557
That was all in
the past. It's over.
596
00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:16,753
Is it?
597
00:38:16,861 --> 00:38:17,972
Isn't your father trying to stop
598
00:38:17,996 --> 00:38:19,589
the operation of
the Pony Express
599
00:38:19,697 --> 00:38:21,928
while we palaver with
a bunch of redskins?
600
00:38:22,033 --> 00:38:23,797
You think that's the kind of man
601
00:38:23,902 --> 00:38:25,894
the government is gonna
subsidize... a quitter?
602
00:38:26,004 --> 00:38:29,168
He's ready to send us
into bankruptcy right now,
603
00:38:29,274 --> 00:38:30,718
just as surely as he did
these other companies.
604
00:38:30,742 --> 00:38:33,485
What are you trying
to pull off there, Ludlow!
605
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:35,356
- Wait a minute!
- Are these reports true?
606
00:38:35,380 --> 00:38:37,076
Wait! Wait!
607
00:38:37,182 --> 00:38:39,515
Let's hear what
Mr. Ludlow has to say!
608
00:38:42,754 --> 00:38:47,692
I do not deny... those reports.
609
00:38:47,792 --> 00:38:49,784
Look, if you don't
want to lose your money
610
00:38:49,894 --> 00:38:52,329
the same way all
Mr. Ludlow's other creditors did,
611
00:38:52,430 --> 00:38:54,422
I'm asking you to give
me a fighting chance
612
00:38:54,532 --> 00:38:56,433
to keep the Pony
Express in operation.
613
00:38:56,534 --> 00:38:57,695
Don't give in to Winnemucca.
614
00:38:57,802 --> 00:38:59,122
We'll fight him!
We'll outrun him!
615
00:38:59,204 --> 00:39:01,435
We'll run him into the
ground, if we have to.
616
00:39:01,539 --> 00:39:05,271
And how many pony riders
will have to die in the process!
617
00:39:05,376 --> 00:39:08,005
They volunteered! If they
don't like it, they can get out.
618
00:39:08,112 --> 00:39:09,623
We've got a right to
protect our interests.
619
00:39:09,647 --> 00:39:11,479
I say we give Mr. Wade
a vote of confidence.
620
00:39:11,583 --> 00:39:13,327
- Now, wait a minute...
- And I second that motion.
621
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:16,253
- All in favor, say "aye"!
- Aye!
622
00:39:19,657 --> 00:39:21,489
Opposed?
623
00:39:22,994 --> 00:39:24,519
Opposed.

The board has
spoken, Mr. Ludlow.

You're no longer the
head of this organization.

I saw you crumble and collapse
before a man named Curtis Wade.
637

I watched him take the
Pony Express away from you

Of all his great
achievements that went bust?

Of watching him run out
on one thing after another?

Last thing in the world I
wanted was to let anybody down.
