[BAA]

UH!

NOT TOO GOOD.

BETTER THAN YOU.

NOT AS FAR.

I KNOW.

MA, COME AND JUMP!

DON'T BE SILLY. I GOT WORK TO GET DONE.

PLEASE?

JUST FOR A MINUTE.

I HAVEN'T GOT TIME FOR SUCH FOOLISHNESS.

HOW COME IT'S NOT FOOLISHNESS WHEN WE DO IT?

BECAUSE YOU'RE CHILDREN, AND I'M AN ADULT.

WHEN A CHILD DOES SOME--

THEN GROWNUPS SAY,

"IT'S SO EASY, A CHILD CAN DO IT."

I THINK THEY SAY IT JUST SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO TRY

THE STUFF KIDS CAN DO.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE, YOUNG LADY.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT I CAN'T JUMP AS FAR AS YOU CAN?

NO, MA'AM, BUT MY PA SAYS THAT SAYING YOU CAN DO SOMETHING

AND DOING IT ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

ALL RIGHT, THEN... I'LL JUST SHOW YOU.

HA HA HA!

THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD. HA HA HA!

[DOG BARKING]

Laura: HI, BANDIT!

BANDIT, YOU SHOWED UP JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME.

HEY, BOY.

HELLO, BOY. YOU COME TO GET ME?

DID YOU COME TO GET ME?

HE KNOWS THE WAY REAL GOOD.

HE GOES BACK AND FORTH A LOT.

YEAH!

WELL, I GUESS I GOT TO GO. SEE YA, ANDY!

BYE, MRS. GARVEY.

BYE.

READY TO JUMP?

I'D LOVE TO, ANDY, BUT I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.

OH, MA.

NO "OH, MA" WITH ME!

YOU GET IN THAT HOUSE AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK, TOO.

YES, MA'AM.

OH!

HA HA HA!

NOT TOO GOOD.

NEVER MIND!

YOU GET IN THERE AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

HA HA HA!

OH!

YOU ABOUT READY, PA?

YEAH, IF YOUR MOTHER EVER GETS READY. LOOK OUT, DOG!

CAROLINE!

COMING!

NOW, MARY, LET'S JUST GO OVER THAT ONE MORE TIME.

WE'VE BEEN OVER IT 10 TIMES, MA.

I KNOW, DEAR, BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT BE CONCERNED.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH

ON THAT SORE ON CARRIE'S LEG--

AND MAKE SURE LAURA DOES HER STUDYING

AND SEE THAT THE WOOD STOVE STAYS LIT AND THAT THE--

YES, I'M CONVINCED!

YOU REALLY ARE READY FOR THIS.

Charles: CAROLINE!

COMING!

OH, BE A GOOD GIRL.

BYE, SWEETHEART.

OH, LAURA, NOW, REMEMBER TO MIND YOUR SISTER.

I WILL.

Charles: CAROLINE, I WANT TO GO TODAY!

COMING, CHARLES!

OH!

I COULD HAVE BEEN TO TWIN FALLS AND BACK

BY THE TIME YOU TWO FINISHED SAYING GOOD-BYE.

I'M SORRY.

WE'RE ONLY GOING TO BE GONE FOR TWO DAYS.

I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO SURVIVE.

DON'T WORRY, MA. WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

SEE WHAT I MEAN? WE'LL SEE YOU SOON!

BYE!

TAKE CARE, NOW.

WE WILL!

Mary: HAVE A GOOD TRIP!

WE WILL!

THANK YOU. BYE-BYE!

Laura: BYE-BYE, MA!

BYE, PA!

BYE, HONEY!

I DIDN'T REALIZE

THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFERENT KIND OF PANS.

I DO WISH YOU WOULD DECIDE, MR. GARVEY.

I DO HAVE OTHER WORK TO TEND TO.

WELL, I'M THINKING. I'M ABOUT READY TO MAKE UP MY MIND.

WELL, I'M STILL RECOMMENDING THIS ONE.

IT SEEMS A MITE EXPENSIVE TO ME, MA'AM.

QUALITY DOESN'T COME CHEAP, MR. GARVEY.

NOW, LOOK AT THE WORKMANSHIP OF THIS.

OH, YOU CAN EVEN SEE MY REFLECTION IN IT.

WELL, I DON'T REALLY NEED ONE TO LOOK IN, MA'AM.

I JUST NEED ONE TO COOK IN.

I THINK I'M GONNA TAKE THIS ONE,

AND WOULD YOU THROW IN SOME CHEWING TOBACCO FOR ME?

CERTAINLY.

[BELLS ON DOOR RING]

JUDD.

MRS. OLESON, I NEED SOME TRAPS.

BE RIGHT WITH YOU. 64 CENTS.

WHAT YOU-- WHAT YOU TRAPPING?

I DON'T RECOLLECT ADDRESSING YOU.

WOLF TRAPS--YOU GOT ANY, MRS. OLESON?

UH, YES, WE HAVE QUITE A FEW--

DIFFERENT KINDS.

I WANT THE BEST.

AIN'T NO WOLVES HEREABOUTS.

I GOT TWO DEAD SHEEP THAT SAY DIFFERENT.

BEST BE CAREFUL WITH THEM TRAPS.

THEY CAN BE AWFUL DANGEROUS.

I'LL LOOK AFTER MY OWN HIDE, THANK YOU.

YOU STICK TO WORRYING ABOUT YOUR'N.

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING TO HIM--STOOD UP TO HIM!

THE WAY HE STRUTS AROUND THIS TOWN. TSK TSK TSK!

MRS. OLESON, I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM TRAPS.

OH, YES, SIR. THEY'RE THIS WAY.

HERE YOU ARE-- ALL KINDS.

I'VE HEARD TALK THAT YOU AND MR. GARVEY

HAD QUITE A BIT OF TROUBLE BACK IN KANSAS.

'TWEREN'T NO TROUBLE.

COME ON NOW, MR. LARABEE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT HE STOLE SOME FURS FROM YOU.

MAYBE. I'LL TAKE THESE.

PUT THEM ON MY ACCOUNT.

OH, YES.

MORNING.

OH, GOOD MORNING.

POOR MAN.

GARVEY WAS IN HERE EARLIER.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK OF ANGER ON LARABEE'S FACE.

OH, THOSE TWO STILL CAN'T GET ALONG, HUH?

WELL, I'M NOT SURPRISED.

GARVEY STOLE HIS FURS.

NOW, HOLD ON NOW. WAIT A MINUTE.

I THINK YOU GOT THAT BACKWARDS.

THE WAY I HEARD THE STORY,

IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT'S GOT ANY COMPLAINTS,

IT'S GARVEY. HE'S THE ONE THAT WAS FALSELY ACCUSED.

MR. LARABEE SAID THAT HE STOLE THE FURS,

AND THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD THE JUDGE.

THEY CAUGHT THE CROOK RED-HANDED!

WITH THE FURS! THERE WAS NO QUESTION AFTER THAT.

WELL, MR. LARABEE STILL HAD HIS DOUBTS.

THE ONLY THING THAT LARABEE'S GOT

IS A BAD CASE OF BEING HUMILIATED

IN FRONT OF THAT WHOLE TOWN.

THAT'S WHAT HE WON'T FORGIVE GARVEY FOR.

WELL, I DON'T CARE. I STILL DON'T TRUST GARVEY.

FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES, WHY NOT?

WELL...BECAUSE HE CHEWS TOBACCO,

AND HE SPITS! THAT'S WHY.

OH, WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A GOOD REASON.

THAT BASKET ISN'T GETTING ANY FULLER.

I KNOW, BUT I AM.

YOU GOT TO STOP EATING THEM.

YOUR MOM WANTS TO MAKE SOME PIES.

JUST A FEW MORE.

OK, 3 MORE EACH.

HOW ABOUT 5 MORE?

[BANDIT BARKS]

I WONDER WHAT BANDIT'S BARKING AT.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE SOUNDS AWFUL ANGRY. COME ON!

[BARKING CONTINUES]

ANDY, LOOK.

[WHIMPERING]

BANDIT, BE QUIET. STAY HERE.

POOR OLD DOG... HE'S HURT BAD.

HE'S SO PRETTY.

MAYBE WE CAN GET HIM FREE.

I DON'T KNOW. THAT TRAP LOOKS AWFUL BIG.

THAT'S A GOOD BOY. I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.

BE CAREFUL.

IT'S OK. HE'S JUST SCARED IS ALL.

COME ON, LAURA. I NEED YOUR HELP.

OK, TAKE THAT SIDE.

OK.

OK, READY?

READY.

Andy: PUSH!

[WHIMPERING]

UH! THERE. GET HIS FOOT OUT.

QUICK!

WE DID IT!

NOW WHAT DO WE DO?

HIS LEG LOOKS AWFUL BAD.

WHERE'S HE GOING?

WE'VE GOT TO FIX HIS LEG.

LET'S FOLLOW HIM.

[WHIMPERING]

OH, ANDY, LOOK!

HE'S A SHE!

YEAH, AND SHE'S HURT TOO BAD TO TAKE CARE OF HER PUPS.

WHAT'S A DOG DOING

ALL THE WAY OUT HERE IN THE WOODS ANYWAY?

I DON'T KNOW. SHE MUST BE LOST.

WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE HER HOME AND FIX HER FOOT.

WE CAN'T LEAVE THE PUPS HERE ALL ALONE.

WE'VE GOT TO TAKE THEM ALL.

MY MA AND PA ARE AWAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF MARY WILL LET ME KEEP THEM.

I'LL TAKE THEM HOME.

COME ON. WE'LL GET MY CART.

GUESS WHAT ME AND ANDY FOUND--

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, YOUNG LADY? YOU'RE LATE!

HUH?

I ASKED YOU WHERE YOU'VE BEEN.

WELL, I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU. ME AND ANDREW--

THE FACT IS, YOU'RE LATE!

I KNOW I'M LATE. THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU--

I DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT!

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO MIND ME,

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!

DON'T YOU WANT TO EVEN KNOW WHAT WE FOUND?

I DON'T HAVE TIME RIGHT NOW.

HEY, ANDREW.

WHAT YOU GOT AHOLD OF NOW?

JUST A DOG, PA, WITH HER BABIES. SHE'S HURT.

WHERE'D YOU GET HER?

DOWN BY THE CREEK. SHE WAS CAUGHT IN A TRAP.

ME AND LAURA GOT HER OUT.

ISN'T SHE A PRETTY DOG, PA?

[GROWLING SOFTLY]

LORD HAVE MERCY, SON,

THEM AIN'T DOGS, THEY'S WOLVES!

WOLVES?

WOLVES, ANDREW. WE CAN'T KEEP THEM AROUND HERE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THEM BACK WHERE YOU FOUND THEM.

BUT, PA...

LOOK AT HOW BAD SHE'S HURT.

I KNOW,

BUT THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' WE CAN DO FOR HER.

SHE DON'T BELONG HERE.

WHY NOT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH A WOLF?

WELL, IT AIN'T THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM, IT'S--

PA?

YEAH?

DON'T YOU THINK

THAT SHE'S ONE OF GOD'S CREATURES?

WELL...YEAH, I THINK SO,

BUT THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT.

DON'T YOU ALWAYS SAY

WE GOT TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF GOD'S CREATURES

AND THAT HE MADE EVERY ONE FOR A VERY SPECIAL REASON

AND THAT HE LOVES THEM ALL THE SAME?

YEAH, I... I GUESS I DID SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GO IN AND SEE DOC BAKER

AND SEE IF HE CAN COME OUT AND HAVE A LOOK AT HER IN THE MORNING.

THANKS, PA!

[PUPS WHIMPERING]

IT'S OK.

DOC BAKER'S GOING TO FIX YOUR MAMA UP REAL NICE.

[DOGS BARKING LOUDLY]

[COW MOOS]

LAURA, PUT THAT LIGHT OUT.

I'M DOING HOMEWORK.

I DON'T CARE! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED AN HOUR AGO.

WELL, I'M NOT.

LOOK, I DID ALL THE COOKING AND THE CLEANING

AND MY HOMEWORK, AND I MANAGED TO FINISH.

THAT'S 'CAUSE YOU'RE PERFECT.

I'VE GOT A BIG DAY TOMORROW.

NOW PUT OUT THE LIGHT.

YES, MA'AM.

I TOLD YOU TO PUT OUT THE LIGHT.

I DID. THAT'S THE MOON.

YOU CAN MAKE ME DO ANYTHING YOU WANT,

BUT YOU CAN'T STOP THE MOON FROM SHINING.

ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.

NOT YOU, TOO.

SHE'LL REALLY GET BETTER?

I THINK SO, ANDREW.

SHE'S HURT BAD, BUT I'M SURE SHE'LL HEAL.

HOW'S IT GOING, DOC?

FINE.

HE SAYS SHE'LL GET BETTER.

OH, GOOD. DOC, YOU WANT TO HELP ME WITH THIS?

SURE THING.

Andy: WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT FOR?

SHE WON'T HURT ANYBODY.

WELL, I KNOW, SON,

BUT I'M JUST MAKING SURE.

YOUR PA'S RIGHT, ANDREW.

THIS WOLF'S A WILD ANIMAL, AND SHE'S HURT BAD.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SHE'S GOING TO GET IT INTO HER HEAD TO DO.

BESIDES, AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION...

IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.

THAT'S WHAT MISS BEADLE ALWAYS SAYS.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME

YOU WERE HEADED OFF FOR SCHOOL?

I GUESS.

GUESS NOTHING. NOW, GET!

BYE, DOC BAKER. THANKS!

ANDREW.

YEAH, PA?

WHO KNOWS ABOUT THIS?

JUST US AND LAURA.

THINK WE BEST KEEP IT THAT WAY FOR A WHILE, HUH?

SURE, PA, WHATEVER YOU SAY. SEE YA!

SEE YA, SON.

SOUNDS LIKE ANDREW MIGHT BE THINKING

HE'S GOT HIMSELF A NEW PET.

YEAH, I'M AFRAID HE'S GETTING AWFUL ATTACHED.

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT THINKING OF LETTING HIM KEEP IT.

NO, NO, NO. I'LL BE TALKING TO HIM SOON ENOUGH, DOC.

I GOT TO SHUT IT OFF BEFORE IT GOES TOO FAR.

WELL, GOOD LUCK.

SAY, DOC, COULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

IF I CAN.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE AROUND HERE WOULDN'T BE TOO HAPPY

TO FIND OUT I'M NURSING A WOLF BACK TO HEALTH HERE.

YOU MAY BE UNDERSTATING THE CASE, JONATHAN,

BUT DON'T WORRY. I CAN KEEP A SECRET, TOO.

THANKS, DOC.

[HAMMERING]

LAURA INGALLS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DOING?

BUILDING A TREE HOUSE!

UH-HUH.

YOU COME DOWN HERE THIS MINUTE AND GET YOURSELF OFF TO SCHOOL!

[MIMICKING MARY] YOU COME DOWN HERE THIS MINUTE--

LAURA!

I'M COMING. I'M COMING!

DID YOU FINISH ALL YOUR HOMEWORK?

YES, AND I WASHED BEHIND MY EARS, TOO.

WHAT'S THIS TREE HOUSE ALL ABOUT?

IT'S ABOUT GETTING AWAY FROM YOU

AND HAVING A LITTLE PEACE AND QUIET!

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

NEITHER COULD I WHEN MY PA FIRST TOLD ME.

WOLVES--WE WERE PLAYING WITH WOLVES!

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

KEEP THEM.

DOC BAKER CAME OVER AND FIXED UP HER LEG.

HE SAYS SHE'LL BE OK.

IS YOUR PA GOING TO LET YOU KEEP THEM?

YEP. HE PUT A MUZZLE ON

UNTIL SHE GETS TO KNOW US BETTER, THOUGH.

HI.

HI.

HI.

WHAT'S THE BIG SECRET?

THERE'S NO SECRET.

NO SECRET.

THEN I GUESS NO ONE'S INTERESTED IN THESE PENNY CANDIES.

I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME,

BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE FRIENDS...

WE'RE JUST TALKING.

I WAS JUST TELLING ANDREW

ABOUT THIS TREE HOUSE I'M MAKING.

YEAH, A TREE HOUSE.

OK, HAVE YOUR LITTLE SECRETS.

NELLIE...PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYBODY?

ANDY!

PROMISE.

I MEAN NO MATTER WHAT, YOU WON'T TELL ANYBODY.

CROSS MY HEART.

YOU BETTER NOT.

ME AND LAURA FOUND A WOLF IN A TRAP,

AND WE GOT HER FREE. THEN WE BROUGHT HER AND HER PUPS TO MY BARN.

DOC BAKER CAME AND FIXED UP HER LEG.

YOU HAVE WOLVES IN YOUR BARN?

YEP.

HOW INTERESTING.

NOW HOW ABOUT OUR CANDY?

ALL RIGHT, BUT JUST FOR YOU.

LAURA DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

WELL, BACK TO CLASS.

WHERE IS SHE GOING?

TO KEEP HER PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYONE.

BUT SHE CROSSED HER HEART.

SHE HASN'T GOT ONE.

ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR, HERE YOU ARE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU.

ALWAYS NICE TO HEAR, MRS. OLESON. GOOD DAY.

GOOD DAY.

Nellie: MOTHER!

LAND'S SAKE, CHILD, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I HEARD ANDREW AND LAURA TALKING.

THEY'RE KEEPING WOLVES IN ANDREW'S BARN-- 3 OF THEM.

OH, DON'T BE SILLY, MY DEAR.

PEOPLE JUST DON'T KEEP A PACK OF WOLVES

IN THEIR BARN.

NOW, YOU RUN ALONG BACK TO SCHOOL,

AND DON'T YOU COME HOME WITH ANY MORE TALL TALES.

IT'S TRUE. ASK HIM. HE KNOWS.

IS IT TRUE, DOCTOR?

I'M AFRAID IT IS.

WELL, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING!

WHOA. HOLD ON THERE.

GARVEY'S GOT THE MOTHER WOLF MUZZLED. THERE'S NO DANGER.

BESIDES, THERE ISN'T A MAN IN THE COUNTY,

MUCH LESS THE WHOLE TERRITORY,

KNOWS AS MUCH ABOUT WILD ANIMALS AND THEIR WAYS

AS JONATHAN GARVEY. HE CAN HANDLE IT.

WELL, I AM SHOCKED

THAT YOU WOULD BE A PARTY TO SUCH A THING!

WHAT ARE YOU? A DOCTOR OR A VETERINARIAN?

YOU KNOW, MRS. OLESON, LOOKING AT SOME OF MY PATIENTS,

I GET A LITTLE CONFUSED MYSELF.

GOOD DAY.

NELLIE, I WANT YOU TO RUN AN ERRAND FOR ME TODAY AFTER SCHOOL.

I WANT TO PLAY AFTER SCHOOL.

NOT TODAY!

NOW, I WANT YOU TO TAKE A MESSAGE

OVER TO JUDD LARABEE'S PLACE.

YES, MOTHER.

NOW, RUN ALONG!

AH! ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY.

YEP. THEY JUST KEEP ON A-COMIN'.

GOOD THAT CHARLES AND CAROLINE HAVE THIS KIND OF WEATHER FOR THEIR TRIP.

YEAH. LOOKED IN ON THE GIRLS THE OTHER DAY.

THEY SEEMED TO BE DOING PRETTY GOOD WITH... WITHOUT THEIR MA AND PA.

YOU KNOW, JACKSON DROPPED IN A WHILE AGO,

AND THE WOLVES BROUGHT DOWN ONE OF HIS COWS.

A COW. AND JUST LEFT IT THERE FOR THE VULTURES AND THE MAGGOTS.

THEY DIDN'T EAT IT? NO.

THAT DON'T FIGURE. THAT JUST DON'T FIGURE.

HEAR ABOUT THEM WOLVES KILLING HIS STOCK AND JUST LETTING THEM LAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, I'VE BEEN AROUND THEM WOLVES BEFORE,

AND THEY ONLY KILL ENOUGH TO EAT.

I CAN'T IMAGINE THEM ANIMALS KILLING FOR THE SAKE OF KILLING.

WELL, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT.

BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING,

WHEN FOLKS GET DONE, THERE WON'T BE A WOLF LEFT ALIVE IN THESE PARTS.

TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK.

THEY'RE SO CUTE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYBODY HATES THEM.

I USED TO, ESPECIALLY AFTER I HEARD LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.

YOU MEAN, "ALL THE BETTER TO EAT YOU WITH, MY DEAR!"

YEAH. HA HA!

YOU KNOW, THOSE KIDS' STORIES,

I GOT A FEELING THAT GROWNUPS MADE THEM UP.

Laura: YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

SOMETIMES I CAN'T FIGURE GROWNUPS OUT.

SOMETIMES I CAN'T EITHER.

HI, PA. WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE THEM NAMES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT JONAH?

HOLD ON NOW, SON.

THAT'S A WOLF YOU GOT THERE, NOT A WHALE.

BESIDES, I AIN'T SO SURE YOU SHOULD BE NAMING THEM CRITTERS.

WHY?

WELL, 'CAUSE NAMES IS FOR PETS, AND THEY AIN'T PETS.

PA!

NOW, HOLD ON A SECOND.

PETS IS A VERY SPECIAL KIND OF THING.

YOU KNOW, DOGS AND CATS AND LIKE THAT,

THEY GET REAL CLOSE TO US.

THEY GET TO BE OUR FRIENDS.

THEY LOVE US, AND WE LOVE THEM.

AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS WITH ANIMALS LIKE THAT

'CAUSE GOD MADE THEM TO BE WITH PEOPLE.

BUT SOME ANIMALS HE MADE TO BE WILD.

BUT THEY'RE NOT WILD. LOOK AT THEM!

I'D TAKE REAL GOOD CARE OF THEM.

I KNOW YOU WOULD, AND YOU'D TRAIN THEM, AND YOU'D LOVE THEM,

AND YOU'D PROBABLY GET ALONG,

BUT THEY WOULDN'T REALLY BE HAPPY.

THEY'D ALWAYS BE THINKING ABOUT BEING FREE.

YOU KNOW, ONE TIME IN CHICAGO,

I SAW A LADY WITH A LION ON A LEASH.

A LION?

IN THE STREET?

JUST AS PLAIN AS DAY.

SHE WAS A-PARADING UP AND DOWN,

AND THAT LION WAS GOING ALONG RIGHT WITH HER

AND LISTENING TO HER.

BUT YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A...

THERE WAS A LOOK ON THAT LION'S FACE THAT SAID, "I AIN'T HAPPY.

"I WANT TO BE OUT IN THE JUNGLE WITH THE OTHER LIONS.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LET OUT A BIG ROAR."

"I WANT TO BE FREE."

[PUPS WHIMPERING]

I THINK WE OUGHT TO LET THE WOLVES GO

SO THEY CAN ROAR.

GOOD IDEA.

NOW, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE'LL DO.

WE'LL KEEP THEM HERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS

TILL THE MAMA'S GOOD AND HEALED.

AND THEN THE TWO OF YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT INTO THE WOODS

AND SET THEM FREE.

AGREED.

[HAMMERING]

WELL, HOW DOES IT LOOK, BANDIT?

[RUFF RUFF]

I AGREE...

BUT WE NEED SOMETHING.

ALL THIS CLIMBING UP AND DOWN

IS GETTING A LITTLE ROUGH.

HEY, I KNOW WHAT WE CAN GET. COME ON, BANDIT.

LAURA!

LAURA INGALLS!

LAURA, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M RIGHT HERE, MASTER!

TIME TO EAT.

EAT? THAT STUFF YOU MAKE IS AWFUL!

I'M RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL BE IN IN A MINUTE.

WHAT ARE YOU AND ANDY GOING TO DO ABOUT YOUR WOLVES?

I HEARD A COW WAS KILLED JUST A FEW MILES FROM TOWN.

THAT WASN'T OUR WOLVES.

I KNOW. I'M JUST ASKING.

WE'RE GOING TO SET THEM FREE-- PROBABLY TOMORROW.

I'LL BE IN IN A MINUTE.

YOU BETTER BE.

[GRUNTING]

OOPS. LOOK OUT, BANDIT.

THIS WILL DO IT. COME ON, BOY!

WANT TO TALK TO YOU, GARVEY.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT IS IT?

UNDERSTAND YOU GOT A COUPLE OF WOLVES

KIND OF MOVED IN WITH YOU.

SO?

I WANT 'EM.

LOOK, IT AIN'T NONE OF YOUR AFFAIR.

JUST GO ABOUT WHAT YOU COME TO TOWN TO DO

AND LEAVE ME BE.

THIS IS WHAT I COME TO TOWN FOR.

I GOT DEAD LIVESTOCK. YOU GOT LIVE WOLVES.

NOW, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT

THAT JUST AIN'T RIGHT TO ME.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS, BUT...

DON'T LOOK LIKE A WOLF KILL TO ME.

JUST DON'T LOOK LIKE A WOLF KILL.

BESIDES, EVEN IF IT IS,

ALL I GOT'S A WOUNDED MOTHER

AND A COUPLE OF PUPS.

HOW MUCH DAMAGE CAN THEY DO?

WOUNDS HEAL. PUPS GROW UP.

NOW, I WANT THEM WOLVES DEAD.

IF YOU DON'T DO IT, I WILL.

NOW, YOU STAY AWAY FROM THEM WOLVES.

YOU STAY OFF OF MY PROPERTY,

AND YOU STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM ME AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

THE MATTER IS CLOSED.

[BARKING]

Mrs. Oleson: SO I'LL SPREAD THE WORD

TO ANY OF THE MEN WHO HAPPEN TO COME AROUND.

TELL THEM TO MEET AT MY PLACE TONIGHT.

WE'LL HEAD OVER TO GARVEY'S FROM THERE.

I'LL DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP.

APPRECIATE IT. THANKS FOR SENDING THE MESSAGE.

OH, NOW, BE CAREFUL

BECAUSE THAT MR. GARVEY CAN BE VERY STUBBORN.

I WANT THEM WOLVES DEAD,

AND I'M GOING TO SEE TO IT THAT THEY ARE.

IF HE GETS STUBBORN, HE'S GOING TO BE HEADED FOR A HEAP OF TROUBLE.

GOOD DAY. GOOD DAY.

WE'RE GOING FOR A RIDE.

NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN--NOTHING BAD.

I'LL MAKE SURE OF THAT.

[PUPS WHIMPERING]

HEY, LAURA!

HI, ANDY!

HAD TO BRING THE WOLVES.

HOW COME?

A MAN--HE'S GONNA KILL THEM.

I HEARD HIM TALKING.

WHO WAS HE?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT HE SOUNDED AWFUL MEAN.

I'LL HAVE TO HIDE THEM OUT HERE, OK?

DID YOU TELL YOUR PA?

I COULDN'T. THEY'RE ANGRY AT HIM, TOO...

AND I'M SCARED FOR HIM. I JUST FIGURED OUT

THAT I BETTER GET THEM OUT OF THERE.

OK, WE'LL KEEP THEM IN MY BARN,

BUT DON'T TELL MARY.

WHY?

SHE'LL FIGURE OUT SOME RULE I'M BREAKING

BY KEEPING THEM HERE.

LET'S GO. COME ON.

WHERE'S YOUR SISTER?

I DON'T KNOW.

SHE MUST BE UP IN HER TREE HOUSE.

I TOLD HER TO BE IN BY SUPPERTIME.

I'LL GET HER. COME ON, BANDIT!

TELL HER TO HURRY!

LAURA, MARY WANTS YOU!

[DOGS BARKING]

[DOGS BARKING]

CARRIE, COME ON! HURRY!

COME ON.

WHAT IS IT?

HELP ME GET THIS BOLTED.

Laura: WHAT IS IT?

WHAT'S OUT THERE?

SOME KIND OF DOGS GONE CRAZY. GET THE WINDOW.

WE'RE SAFE NOW.

THERE'S NO WAY THEY'LL GET IN.

[CHICKENS SQUAWKING]

[COWS BELLOWING]

THEY'LL PROBABLY GO NOW.

I'M SCARED.

ME, TOO.

IT'S ALL RIGHT TO BE A LITTLE SCARED.

NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO US.

WE'RE SAFE IN HERE.

[DOG BARKS AND SNARLS LOUDLY]

COME ON, LET'S SING.

WHAT?

Mary: YOU KNOW, MA SOMETIMES SINGS TO US

WHEN WE DON'T FEEL TOO GOOD,

AND RIGHT NOW I DON'T FEEL TOO GOOD.

ME, NEITHER.

Mary: HOW ABOUT...

OH! SUSANNA.

OH! SUSANNA.

EVERYBODY READY?

MM-HMM.

All: ♪ OH, I COME FROM ALABAMA ♪

♪ WITH MY BANJO ON MY KNEE ♪

♪ I'M GOIN' TO LOUISIANA, MY SUSANNA FOR TO SEE ♪

♪ OH! SUSANNA, OH, DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME ♪

♪ FOR I COME FROM ALABAMA WITH MY BANJO ON MY KNEE ♪

♪ IT RAINED ALL NIGHT THE DAY I LEFT ♪

♪ THE WEATHER, IT WAS DRY ♪

♪ THE SUN SO HOT I FROZE TO DEATH ♪

♪ SUSANNA, DON'T YOU CRY... ♪

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?

COUPLE HOURS.

I'M HUNGRY. CAN'T WE GO IN THE HOUSE?

NOT YET.

WELL, THEY SHOULD BE GONE BY NOW.

WELL, IT'S TOO DARK OUTSIDE TO TELL.

WE CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE.

[RUSTLING]

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT?

LISTEN.

[SCRATCHING]

WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

[BARKING AND GROWLING]

THEY'RE DIGGING UNDER THE WALL!

EVERYBODY UP IN THE HAYLOFT!

WHERE'S THE LADDER?

THE LADDER--I TOOK IT TO MY TREE HOUSE.

I NEEDED IT TO CLIMB UP.

ON THE TABLE! HURRY!

COME ON, HURRY!

Mary: COME ON, CARRIE.

THERE. GET OVER THERE.

WE FORGOT THE WOLF AND THE PUPS!

WE HAVEN'T GOT TIME.

GET OVER THERE WITH CARRIE. COME ON, HURRY!

THEY'RE IN HERE. I'LL GET THEM.

Mary: THERE'S NO TIME!

HURRY. GET UP HERE.

[PUPS WHIMPERING]

WAIT. WHERE'S BANDIT?

I'LL GET HIM.

COME ON! COME ON, BANDIT!

COME ON, BANDIT. COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

ANDY, HURRY!

COME ON.

[DOGS AND WOLF SNARLING]

[DOGS BARKING]

SHH. SHH. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

Andy: I SURE WISH MY PA WOULD COME.

I WAS SURE HE'D COME LOOKING FOR ME.

WHAT IF NO ONE COMES?

BANDIT KNOWS THE WAY TO ANDY'S HOUSE.

Mary: MAYBE HE COULD GET MR. GARVEY.

NO. THOSE DOGS WILL GET HIM.

LAURA, WE HAVE TO TRY IT.

OK.

YOU'VE GOT TO DO THIS, BANDIT--

YOU GOT TO.

GO GET MR. GARVEY

AND MAKE HIM COME WITH YOU.

PLEASE, BANDIT.

IT'S ALL CLEAR, LAURA. COME ON.

BE CAREFUL, BANDIT.

[DOG GROWLING]

[BARKING]

[WHIMPER]

Mrs. Garvey: JONATHAN, YOU'RE LATE.

THEM WOLVES IS GONE.

WHERE'S ANDREW?

ANDY? I THOUGHT HE WAS WITH YOU.

HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO MEET YOU AFTER SCHOOL.

I AIN'T SEEN HIM. HAS LARABEE BEEN AROUND?

NO.

HAS ANYBODY BEEN AROUND HERE, ANY STRANGERS?

NO.

I DON'T THINK SO. I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE.

[BANDIT WHIMPERING]

Alice: IT'S LAURA'S DOG.

EASY, BOY, EASY. I AIN'T GONNA HURT YOU, NOW.

YOU'VE BEEN BIT...

BUT IT AIN'T TOO BAD.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HE--HE'S HURT.

WHY DID HE COME HERE?

TROUBLE AT THE INGALLS'!

DO YOU THINK THE WOLF HURT HIM?

I PRAY TO GOD THAT'S ALL SHE HURT.

WHY DID I EVER LET THAT BOY BRING THAT ANIMAL IN HERE?

YOU STAY HERE IN CASE HE COMES HOME.

WE CAME ABOUT THAT MATTER YOU AND ME DISCUSSED.

NOT NOW.

NOW'S AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY.

WHERE'S THEM WOLVES?

MY BOY AND 3 OTHERS IS IN TROUBLE.

WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?

Jonathan: I DON'T KNOW...

BUT I'M GOING TO FIND OUT.

NOW, YOU WANT TO RIDE

ALONG WITH ME, THAT'S FINE.

IF NOT, OUT OF MY WAY.

[BARKING]

[DOG SNARLING]

[DOG WHIMPERING]

[DOG GROWLING]

[GUN COCKS AND FIRES]

[GUNSHOTS]

[BARKING FADING]

[SHOOTING STOPS]

EVERYONE ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE FINE.

[PANTING]

SHE SAVED MY LIFE.

THE MAMA WOLF SAVED MY LIFE.

[SOBBING]

[PUPS WHIMPERING]

I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO WORK.

[QUIETLY] SHH. IT'S GOING TO WORK.

YOU JUST GOT TO GIVE IT A LITTLE TIME.

THAT MAMA WOLF'S BEING AWFUL CAREFUL.

I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND...

ABOUT THE DOGS.

THAT'S KIND OF A HARD ONE TO GET AHOLD OF,

BUT I'LL WAGER YOU THAT ALL THEM DOGS

WAS ONCE GOOD FAMILY PETS, JUST LIKE YOUR MUTT.

THEN WHY DID THEY DO WHAT THEY DID?

WELL, BECAUSE...

THEIR MASTERS JUST GOT TIRED OF THEM.

YOU KNOW HOW I TOLD YOU THAT, UH...

IT'S WRONG TO TAKE A WILD ANIMAL AND MAKE A PET OUT OF IT?

WELL, IT'S JUST AS BAD-- MAYBE WORSE--

TO TAKE A PET AND TURN IT INTO A WILD ANIMAL.

BUT HOW?

BY...

NOT CARING,

STOP LOVING THEM, STOP FEEDING THEM,

STOP TAKING CARE OF THEM,

THEN TURN THEM LOOSE TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES.

MR. GARVEY.

[RUSTLING]

COME ON, MAMA.

[PUPS WHIMPERING]

HOLD REAL STILL NOW.

REAL STILL.

COME ON, GET THE OTHER BABY, MAMA.

THERE SHE COMES. EASY NOW.

DO YOU THINK THEY'LL BE HAPPY?

OH, ABOUT AS HAPPY AS TWO YOUNG CUBS

IN A HONEY TREE.

HA HA HA!

NOW, COME ON.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE REAL EASY, NOW,

AND LEAVE THEM BE.

SURE AM GOING TO MISS THEM.

ME, TOO.

[QUIETLY] HEY, YOU TWO, GET A MOVE ON.

NOW, I HEAR OLD MAN STIMSON'S HOUND

HAS GOT SOME NEW PUPS,

AND IF WE'RE GONNA GET THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THEM,

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HURRY.

YOU MEAN IT--A PUP?

OF COURSE I MEAN IT, NOW.
