inert attack

Got that rifle on your gun, Bill.

Drive it, climb down and unload the ship.

You keep your hands up.

Three minutes faster than last time.

Not good enough.

I put the bags back on the coach.

Well, I can get your hands up, all of you.

I've got out hunting table, Berenson.

Looks like I found something bigger than that.

You made a mistake, Sheriff.

We're not hold up, men. We've got a claim over the hill.

We're sending our samples to Virginia City for assay.

My name is Fillmore.

Jamison Fillmore, Chef.

Or those don't look like ore bags to me.

Brevin, kneel down and open up those bags for the chef. Show him.

He's dead.

You and your rehearsals.

You fixed it this time, Fillmore.

You wrecked it. Good.

You get an old teste, you lose in your nerve.

You do exactly as I tell you.

Take the deputy, put him in the coach, tie the horse behind him.

You saw him on a lonely road, and you're taking him into Virginia City

like the good citizens that you are.

Just might work.

It'll work.

You're right. That's going to work.

But if we do get our hands on that currency shipment,

we've got the ponderosa to cross, pussies everywhere,

and the best trackers in Nevada on our trail.

You're losing faith in me, Brevin.

Oh, no. No.

But I spent four years in prison, and I'm not particularly anxious to go back.

Brevin, you're going to go on preaching the gospel to these poor lost souls

until I tell you to stop.

For your information, there won't be any trails to follow.

Because we're going straight across Lake Tahoe.

And we're going to do it in Ben Cartwright's brand-new boat.

Boat, 7,000 feet in the sky.

And we're going to use it on the biggest hold-up ever pulled.

You hear about Sunday, Pa?

Comes once a week, I understand.

I mean, next Sunday.

What about next Sunday, Julie?

We're going to be a picnic and a dance and a Von raisin.

Over at the old beer ranch.

Candy's going in horse and jaw and just everybody.

I expect there'll be a few who missed the happy occasion.

I know you're off a busy with paid shipments,

practically doubling every month, but even so.

Julie, do you realize that this is the greatest opportunity a sailor ever had?

There's room on Lake Tahoe for a whole fleet to open up this new country.

With the help of God and Ben Cartwright, we could be part of it.

I know, but...

That's in the future.

You're worried about the present, Julie.

I think we can go to that party.

Oh.

I'll take the wheel.

I'm sure that your social activities will take up a lot of time.

Thank you, Papa.

I'm sorry.

Captain Larson's got a right on time.

Pretty as a $40 cold, ain't you?

A little bit different from the clipper ship's use seal, huh, Paul?

Yeah.

Daddy, she's going to be all right.

We get some good roads.

That's the best way to carry heavy freight around here.

She'll pay away and then some.

So, passengers permitted.

Good afternoon, Captain.

When did you come aboard?

Oh, I have to board just before you left the South Shore.

You were busy, Nelce.

Nice.

Almost as big as the place we once shared together for so long.

Cell 241.

Cell Block D, in case you've forgotten.

What do you want?

An introduction to Ben Cartwright.

I am Jamison Fillmore, lumber man from San Francisco.

Just introduce you. Is that all?

That's all.

I'll think about it. Get out.

Let me dock this ship.

I'll tell you what I think, Candy.

It's a good thing I'm running out of cow campus.

Are you throwing that rope?

I don't think you'd catch anything but a cold.

Not a rope. Landlubber, it's a line.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hop and I will make a sale out of you yet, Candy.

I wouldn't count on that, Julie.

I still can't make a cow hand out of him.

Why, he handled the boat practically all by himself last three times.

Three trips. Only hit the dock twice. That's one out of three.

That's not too bad.

Don't try to get out of here.

Don't try to explain my skills to him, Julie. He's jealous because I could spend so much time with you.

Hey, wait for me, Captain Kid. I'll give you a hand.

Thanks, folks.

Julie?

Hi.

Hey.

Now, have a good trip.

Fine. Fine. Thank you, Mr. Artwright.

Got the mail, huh? Good.

I'm afraid there's bad news in the paper.

Friend of yours, wasn't it? Yes, he was a friend of mine.

Nails, did you hear anything around the lake?

No, sir, not a thing.

This is shocking. I tell you, this is just terrible.

I heard about this yesterday on the South Shore. What is this country coming to when even the officers of the law can't ride the roads and safety?

After a lot of people I wonderings her.

Mr. Cooney, I'm not sure.

Mr. Cartwright, this is Mr. Jameson Fillmore, a lumber man from San Francisco.

Fillmore? How do you do, Mr. Cartwright, sir?

Cartwright.

Owner of the Ponderosa Ranch and this fine stern wheeler?

That's right. Well, that's quite an achievement launching a ship this big so high in the mountains.

Well, Mr. Fillmore, I consider it a great achievement.

And I can say that because I had nothing to do with a building or a launching orbit.

It was brought up piece by piece on Muleback, right up the side of the mountain.

Hmm. But the man who had the vision to do it. I merely bought it from him.

You're in the lumber business, sir.

Yes, I am. And I've spent a great deal of time up here in Lake Tahoe and...

Beautiful, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Frankly, when I saw your bare-rid stand of timber I said to myself, I have just got to have it.

So I took the liberty of bringing along two of my top timber cruisers.

You don't waste any time, do you, sir?

And with your permission, I'd like to have them cruise that stand of timber.

And after I get their reports, I'd like to be able to make you an offer that you cannot refuse.

Oh, man. I find no objection in that, sir.

Good. We'll need some pack animals and some horses and a place to camp.

No problem at all. You'll be wanting to start immediately.

Yes, we will.

Nails? Now, there is an enthusiastic gentleman. Business is picking up.

You made that introduction sound legitimate, Nails. Real legitimate.

Understand one thing. I won't seek Cartwright hurt.

You make one wrong move and I'll tell him. You and all your men are ex-convets.

You say anything and you'll go back for consorting with ex-convets.

You know, I was thinking, Nails, maybe, erm, there's some way I can help you raise enough money to send Julie back east to school.

I remember that's all you used to talk about when we were roommates in apartment 214.

Think about it. Everything you've ever wanted.

At the bottom of the grade, the reverend will be waiting in the middle of the road.

We stopped the stagecoach, take out the currency. Remember this time, it's a million dollars.

We loaded into the reverend's bag among his hymn books and his religious tracks.

Well spoken, brother.

Now, when the law hears about the holdup, they'll block the trail.

They'll search the area, even for days.

Yeah.

Tasty? What do you do?

We got right for the North Shore boat landing across his hogback, down this drawer, because that's the fastest.

And then, in that boat, a Cartwright's better be there.

Dicks he'll be there, because Philmore and Niergo make sure.

Reverend.

I ride through North Meadows. I meet somebody, I start thumping my Bible.

It's a posse, I tell them I saw three riders headed away from the lake into these mountains.

You're forgetting something, Reverend.

Something absolutely essential.

You do not hurry. You are a preacher with all the time in the world.

Oh, sweat.

I don't strain, I don't lather my horse. And if you ever again raise your hand against me, I'll kill you.

I'll do my job. And I'll make it look good.

Good?

Good? Perfect.

Every man, every move.

Invert!

Invert!

Invert!

Invert!

Just got the mail off of the boat. All around?

Yeah, he's in there. You got something for me?

No, Joe. Nobody loves you, right?

Of course, anybody loves you. Couldn't read and write an oil.

Oh, you're funny. You're funny.

Are you there from San Francisco?

No, nothing.

What? I expected something?

Oh, I wrote to the bank in San Francisco for some references, and Mr. Fillmore.

Although I don't really think we need any. He seems to be a gentleman and he certainly knows a lumbering business.

Maybe he knows, and I don't think too much the fellas are work for him.

Very hard to find good workers these days.

You know, huh? Even in the bosom of one's own family, it's difficult to find a hard working young man.

What's wrong, Papa?

Good. Nothing's wrong. Nothing. Why do you ask?

Papa, what are you worried about?

Honey, I'm just doing some heavy thinking. That's all.

Anything I can do?

You already have.

All the time that I was in prison, I think I might have given up and died if I hadn't known the two people on the outside believed in my innocence.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

We're here all on the outside believed in my innocence.

You and Ben Kertraite.

Well, Nells, we were just talking about you.

Step down, say hello.

What do you want?

Settle a wager.

You know, we sit up here all day watching all the activities down on the water.

And who should we see an hour ago getting on a horse riding away from the dock?

But our old colleague, Nells, where should he be heading?

But on the only road leading to Ben Cott Wright's logging camp.

I work for him.

I can talk to anyone I want.

But not say anything you want, Nells.

So you finally decided to be a hero.

Throw caution to the winds.

Warn Mr. Cott Wright, huh?

No, no, sir.

No, not anything like that.

You told me that you're not planning anything.

I believe you.

I believe all of you.

Yeah, we're old friends.

We've been through the mill together.

Why should any one of us hurt anybody?

Where's Papa?

I haven't seen him.

Well, he was only going to be gone an hour.

I took an nap and when I woke up, I would do the sail in 20 minutes and Papa's never

late.

He and Ben Cott Wright probably got to talk and forgot the time.

I'll ride up there and meet him if they make you feel better.

No, that's all right.

I'll do it.

You've got to get the Dixie rail to sail.

You're the captain now, right?

Right.

Papa, are we so worried about you?

10 minutes before sailing time when you sit here resting?

Hey, Papa.

Papa!

Papa loves a lake.

He'd like it here.

We still can't believe it.

Don't you, Julie?

It's going to be hard.

No, minutes.

It'll be the hardest part.

We found plenty of tracks, but lost them up in the shale.

It still looks like a tempted robbery.

I think the killer saw him riding up the trail.

I don't think he was bringing you the money for your lagers.

It was possible.

I don't think it was robbery.

Now's the lesson.

I've been carrying around a big load of trouble.

He was his jumpy, nervous.

I am self at all.

How long have that been going on?

A week?

Maybe it was sick or something.

No, it was more than that.

I think it was.

You know what he wanted to see me about?

He didn't tell me.

He didn't even tell Julie.

If you hear anything, tell me a clam.

Meanwhile, you're the skipper.

Julie, you don't have to do that.

I'll take care of it.

No.

I have to.

You have a lot of friends, Julie.

We'll be glad to help.

I know that.

My answer is I can come and live with her in St. Louis.

And I'll go to boarding school.

And I know I'll make a lot of new friends.

And all the things.

Oh, why?

Why did he have to be killed?

Was it?

What kind of trouble was he in?

Julie, I don't know who killed your father or why.

But I'm going to find out.

Or die trying.

Howdy.

You mind if I commit?

It looks like you are in.

Hey, that's too bad about Captain Larson.

Ironic, isn't it?

Kill for a payroll that he wasn't even carrying?

Hey, how did you get your gun on?

Yeah, I felt kind of happy.

I felt like I was going to get a gun.

Yeah, I felt kind of out of balance without it.

And a nervous little man with banker written all over his face.

And did you pouch at the dock?

If I were a betting man, I'd say, uh, today was payday.

You know, funny you should mention payroll.

When I was a kid, I used to read about it at Roberts.

Used to try to figure out how I could do it better.

Ha!

You know, since I've been working for Larson, I've figured a dozen different ways to steal that payroll.

Just to pass the time.

Just to pass the time.

Yeah, sure.

Uh, stealing it would be a cinch, but, uh, we're getting away with it's a tough part.

But I just might have to figure out a way to do it.

Just to pass the time.

Well, I'll have to, uh, I'll have to give that some thought myself.

Just to pass the time.

I'll have to get away with it.

I'll have to get away with it.

I'll have to get away with it.

I'll have to get away with it.

Hello, boy.

Come sit down.

Chair of Milos.

Meets tough.

Biscuits are like lead, but the coffee's hot.

Have you thought I'd need more about what we were talking about?

As a matter of fact I had.

Wow, it looks like payroll day.

I'm going to get you a

quick.

Bring it to this part was easy.

Now you tell me how to get

away with it.

What's in it from me?

Half.

Sorry, I don't trust you.

It's all too quick, too easy.

I think you're a big bag of hot

air.

I think you have no idea how I

can get away with it.

You're privileged, my friend.

But I know how to do it.

Go ahead.

I need your help.

A robbery.

Hmm.

I wouldn't believe you for a

minute.

I think they will.

If they find me with a lump on

my head.

And one of the robbers beside

me.

Dead.

And just where do you think

you're going to get yourself

a dead robber?

Which one of those two can you

spare?

You're not serious.

Which one?

The one in the green coat.

Houston, he drinks too much

anyway.

My congratulations, boy.

My sincere congratulations.

How would you like to make four

times what's in that payroll bag

with no risk at all?

Four times?

Four times.

I'm listening very carefully.

Just take that payroll bag to the

cart-right camp like you're

supposed to.

What?

Then go back to the boat,

stay there, do your job,

until you're here from the

job, until you're here from me.

All right?

I guess I just have to trust

you, don't I?

He's a real hard-nosed one.

But his friendly is a porcupine.

I'll write you are, Houston.

I'll write you are.

I'll write you are.

Wait a minute.

I'm just doing open.

It's all there.

I open it when I offer

to Fillmore Half the payroll.

You what?

I offered Fillmore Half the payroll.

I think you heard him right first, Apple.

All right.

You start talking.

You better start from the beginning.

Yeah, I better.

Julian made it, done some hard thinking.

And was sure that her dad's trouble started.

Would Fillmore showed up?

What's that got to do with this payroll?

Fillmore's been feeling me out for a week.

I set up stealing the payroll to test him.

And I offered him half.

Well young man, don't you think you ought to consult with me

before you start doing anything like that?

Well, as it turned on as a car, right?

There wasn't time.

If I had brought this up here before I went to Fillmore's camp,

he'd have known I was set in a trap.

But he didn't take the money, did he?

No, he's after something bigger.

He offered me four times this amount if I go back to the Dixie and wait for orders.

Paul don't you think it's about time we get to low end on this?

It's a long got to do with it.

There's no evidence.

And we've got his candy suspicions.

I want to turn that suspicion into evidence.

I'd like to go back to the boat and wait.

All right.

We're going.

Can't be.

Be careful.

I'll be careful.

MUSIC

Got that drive line in your gun, Bill.

Drive a climb down and unload the ship.

Hurry up!

Fillmore tell you to do that.

He told me, Reverend.

He told me we don't need him anymore.

Well, don't try it with me, testie.

I don't surprise so easily.

Besides, I'm much faster than you are.

Maybe.

In one of these days, you might just have to prove that, Reverend.

What happened, brother guy? You got a lame horse?

Well, I know, brother, Foster.

I'm just relieving him and his burden.

Same as I lift the burdens of sin from the hearts of man.

Anything wrong?

Plenty. Stage hold up. Double kill him.

Oh, there's a heap of evil looseness world, brothers.

That's why I preach.

Brother, I have seen the Sodom's and the Gamoras of the West.

Oh, the dens of iniquity.

Can any of you stand without shame before the Almighty?

Brother, we haven't got time for a sermon right now.

I had no offense.

How long have you been on the trail?

Well, I left Virginia City early this morning.

I'd just been mosey and along, enjoying God's wonders, and comfort of his word.

You see anybody? Anybody at all?

Well, I did see three riders about an hour ago.

As soon as they saw me, they lit out for that peak, yonder.

Thanks, brother guy.

Let's go!

That the devil himself was chasing him.

You're all invited to the big revival I'm holding down at the South Shore.

Properly unimaginable.

Out off of human mercy.

Mr. Gilmore, how are you?

Ready to cast off, Captain?

We're ready to go in about five, six minutes.

It'll be on longer than that, or waiting for some passengers.

Remember, four times the money is in that pouch.

And today's the day you run it.

Sorry, folks. We have engine trouble. Everybody is short.

We'll give a whistle, blast with engines, fix. Shouldn't take too long.

Let's go.

Bless you, brothers.

Nicely done.

Where's Phil Motto? Up in the wheelhouse.

All right, Captain, let's get this tub underway.

Go, reverse!

Mr. Carreich! Somebody hijack the Dixie!

How long ago?

About fifteen minutes ago.

That's right.

I just stole Ben Carreich's boat.

Which thinks about time I knew what was going on?

Boy, you just became part of one of the biggest hold-ups in the history of Nevada.

Not much.

Million.

They can run until they drop. They'll never catch us.

But what do we do when we get to the South Shore?

We don't.

We turn into a cove before we get there.

There's a man waiting with saddles and pack horses.

Beyond that, the placidill stage.

Drivers bought and paid for.

From there to San Francisco.

And then a boat to Panama.

How did that sound?

Great. I've never been to Panama.

I like your style, boy.

We're going to get along fine.

Feel more, you better come down.

Found something you ought to see.

She was hiding.

We missed her when we ran the others off.

The young lady's misfortune that she's here.

Of course it's our good fortune that Tahoe's the deepest lake in the world.

Sixteen hundred feet straight down.

What's that food doing?

He's trying to run our ground.

Testing! Stop the engine!

He's got the wheelhouse.

We're going to get him.

Drop the gun or the girl dies.

Duchin! Tell Tessie to start the engines and get us out of here.

Guy! Come up here!

You killed my father!

You better be careful of that thing. It may be real.

No!

A little...

Cut up!

Turn him!

Turn him!

Turn him!

Hold it.

If we make a charge of that boat we're running right into the rifle fire.

Cover me, give me some running room.

Joe, they'll kill you, they'll make you set foot on that deck.

They'll go in on the bow.

Take over behind where they won't be looking.

Alright, wait.

I'll give you the word.

Hush!

Now!

Oh...

Hey, you alright?

Yeah, thanks.

We got two more down below. Get his gun.

Alright, just a drop it.

Stand up and drop it.

I'll give you the gun.

I'll give you the gun.

I'll give you the gun.

Alright, just a drop it.

Stand up and drop it.

Stand up and drop it.

Oh!

Son, I have sinned grievously.

Will you forgive me?

Will you be merciful and forgive?

Oh Lord!

Help this poor sinner to repent!

Lead him back to the paths of righteousness!

Oh!

Now, son, you can't... you can't fold a man for trying to save his neck.

Now, can you?

Oh!

Now, Julie, you remember now we have an agreement.

You have to write a letter once a week, and you have to keep your grades up, and you have to spend your summer vacations on the ponderosa.

Oh, sure try, Mr. Cartwright.

I'll be right in due, Julie. Tilly, I'll think they're on the lake.

Candy?

I'm sorry you're not going to be around to make a sailor on me.

Hey! Come on out, you line lovers, get a shower!

We're heading for the south end of this lake to meet the stage.

Well, that'd be in the case. Candy, if I'm going to make cowboy out of you again, we better get started.

That's a hurry. I got ten minutes left on my lunch hour.

And you got 20 miles to write to where your work is, so you better start slapping a letter.

Julie?

You have a good trip now.

Bye-bye.

Bye, Julie.

Bye.
