The Justice

Thank you.

Thank you, good night.

Go ahead.

The Blacks have some Aad

made you reply com

I know.

He's a good hand.

And he wants my job.

So do I.

That's why I'm gonna make it.

I know you will.

I got some saint's to look at it, I better go get.

I figured I'd find you here.

Brock, you don't want to be late for that meeting.

Still no words from Adam?

No, no.

I reckon you gonna have to go it alone.

Jacob, you know I'm no good at that kind of thing.

I'm a cow hand, not a business man.

Let's go.

Let's go.

We're going to go to the

Justice Brandenburg meet Bronke Evans.

Howdy.

Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Evans.

This is my attorney, Preston McAdams.

Pleasure, Mr. Swansingham.

Oh, where is Adam Cartwright?

He was supposed to arrive from Australia a week ago.

When we went to meet his ship, he wasn't on board.

I'm disappointed.

I assure you there's no problem, sir.

Oh, I'm sorry. Sit down, gentlemen. I'm sorry.

Then Cartwright's will clearly states,

Mr. Evans and I are empowered to make any and all decisions

regarding the Ponderosa and the Cartwright estate.

Oh, well, good. That's good. Then I'm talking to the right people.

That depends on what you want.

I'll tell you what I want.

I want to buy the Ponderosa. All of it.

Give me $3 million.

The Ponderosa isn't for sale at any price.

Five million.

You can't fool me, Brandenburg.

I've done a little investigating on my own.

It seems you have a bad habit of buying up land

just to clear cut the forest and strip mine the salt

until there's nothing left.

I don't know where you got that information.

But I'm against clear cutting,

and all my mining operations are clean.

Save your lives for somebody else.

Are you calling me a liar?

That's exactly what I'm calling you.

Get out.

Bronch.

You called a man a man?

Well, that's what he is.

Ain't a good idea to make an enemy of Augustus Brandenburg.

I'm afraid I already have.

Bronch? Say hello to Walter Vince, sir.

Daddy, please, to meet you, Bronco.

I'm a journalist. Most of the big Eastern papers.

Print my stuff. Well, good for you.

I've been wanting to do a feature story on a real cowboy.

You know, a true man of the West.

And what I hear around Virginia City, you, Mr. Evans,

are the genuine article.

Well, no, not really.

Oh, come on, don't be so modest, Bronco.

Bronch, my name's Bronch.

Whatever. All I want is to spend a few days with you on the ranch,

you know, watch your work.

Mr. You'd be bored to death.

Probably. But my Eastern readers will lead it up.

People really love this old West cowboy stuff.

Come on, what do you say?

Who knows, it might even make you famous.

That's something I've always wanted to be.

That's something I've always wanted to be.

Always.

You all right?

Yeah, it hurts like you.

But I think I'll leave.

I'll use it.

I'll learn.

Maybe we should make a run for you.

Well, that's hella nice, yes, sir.

We go first.

Looks like they being ambushed.

Thanks for coming to our rescue.

Well, heck, Bronch, that's the lace talk at the...

Have we met before?

A long time ago, back then I was a lot shorter.

Just as handsome though.

My name's Adam Cartwright, Junior.

AC. Good to see you back.

Bored, you're grown. Look at you.

Welcome home, son.

Yeah, Dad had a relapse at his malaria.

Talked to City Bureau right down a few weeks.

Just didn't want him traveling.

Out!

Damn it, Buckshot. That hurts.

What you're barely aching.

Got to clean it out a little in fact.

Then you probably died.

If that's what you wanted, it's all right with me.

That's the coffee.

Oh, it's the best I've attached to Buckshot.

It's like a little.

I'm not a bad guy.

I'm not a bad guy.

I'm not a bad guy.

I'm not a bad guy.

What's the best I've attached to Buckshot?

That's a lucky thing you came along when you did.

We might all be dead.

Got any idea who was shooting at you?

Ah, Brandon Bird, people.

He's been trying to buy it upon De Rosa.

Damn, I'm going to let him.

On ambush and on fashion, Landmore.

This is a great story. My readers will love it.

Western Land War, industrialist Brandenburg

fights for the Ponderosa Ranch.

It's 1905.

I can't believe this kind of thing is still happening.

You know how newspaper reporters like to exaggerate.

Ben, which people are shooting at Bronkin Jacob.

Maybe so, but it's over and done with you.

This is not too far.

We've got to do something.

Like what?

I'm going back to the Ponderosa, and I want you to come with me.

I can't leave Boston now.

I just interviewed for a position with one of the top law firms in the country.

The job can wait.

Mama, despise that place.

But daddy loved it.

That's right.

More than he loved anything else, including his wife and children.

No, that's not true.

Daddy wanted to be with us, but he couldn't turn his back on grandpa.

I really don't give a damn what happens to that place.

Well, I do.

I'm leaving on the morning train.

Have a nice trip.

Ben's.

Daddy's been dead almost five years.

When are you going to forgive him?

I'm going to go to the house.

I'm going to go to the house.

I'm going to go to the house.

Oh, oh, oh.

I'm going to go to the house.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

All right, you sure does have the old cart ride charmed.

You sure, right.

Wish I could turn a lady's head like that.

There's only a few of us left with that kind of power over women.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

That's a brave person who has a friendly family.

Who doesn't know what Huxian is doing over there this town?

And how is Huxian type moving all the way somewhere?

Tell her to and mine, now.

Are you serious, I have no choice.

I'm double.

There's to it!

Y'know, I've heard thisall.

You sure?

Fuck's shy.

Welcome home, Miss Sarah.

Look at you.

Lipped here, little girl, and came back a full grown woman.

Sure good to see you again.

Oh, it's good to see you, Brooke.

I missed you.

Jacob!

Sarah.

Oh, AC!

Look at you!

Oh, you're so tall.

He's all grown up.

Well, I say so.

Well, you're so tall.

You're sorry to hear about your mama.

Thanks, Brooke.

Annabelle and I didn't always see eye to eye, but I always respected her.

She was a fine woman.

Oh, it's good to be back.

Hmm, I really miss this place.

You forget how beautiful it is.

I guess you heard about the Brandenburg business.

That's why I came.

I'm here to help.

Good.

I need all help.

I can't get it.

Oh, we mean, we know what we're going to do.

I've been here for a long time.

We know where we're going, but we know where we're going.

But we know where we're going.

It's a lot of fun.

I'm going to do something for you.

Oh, no, it's not.

Okay, then, a little bit more fun.

I don't know what we're going to do.

You don't need all the help we can get.

We're not hoping you're bothering me, will you?

Bronco wouldn't count on much help from Ben.

Well, you know you're always welcome here.

Thank you, Bronco.

I appreciate that.

Thought I haven't really decided what I want to do with myself yet.

Well, I thought you were studying to be an engineer.

Yeah, well, the plan was for me to go into my father's

mining business.

The only problem was I hated engineering.

As a matter of fact, it brought me to death.

So I did the only honorable thing I could do,

and I dropped out of school.

I bet your poor sure didn't like that.

Just couldn't understand why I didn't want to follow in the footsteps

of the great Adam Cartwright.

I don't know.

Guess I want to do things mine way.

Be mine man.

Give yourself time, AC.

It'll happen.

Well, I better get the bid.

See you all tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm glad you're both here.

Old Crump!

Ooh, butter Switch!

Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh.

Turn around.

Real slow.

You go easy with that gun.

You don't tell me what to do.

I'm looking for a house cart right now.

Poss?

You must be mistaken.

This is the Ponderosa, ain't it?

Yes, sir.

But a house cart right in here.

Where is he?

Poss is dead.

Don't you lie to me.

He can't be dead.

But the gun down, son.

You don't want to hurt anybody.

Come on.

Put it down.

Who are you?

My mama said,

I'm a hoss car rights boy.

Where did you get this?

My mama gave it to me.

Just before she died.

That's her in the photograph.

What's your name, son?

Josh.

Josh Overton.

How do we know you just didn't find this photograph somewhere, Josh?

Or maybe steal it.

What about this?

Mama said he bought this for in Kansas City.

That a store called Largence.

Well, I showed us right.

I was with them when Hoss gave his necklace to Claire.

He sure did love her.

That's a lie.

Hoss cut right just used her.

And then he ran off.

No, no, no, son.

You got it all wrong.

They were going to be married.

He was going to send for.

He never did.

Mama said she waited and waited.

Well, something awful happened.

Hoss and I were helping this family who were trapped in a wagon in the middle of a river.

We helped him to shore, but he lost his footing.

I tried to grab him.

But the current pulled him under.

After the funeral, the cart ride tried to contact Claire in Kansas City.

But she was gone.

Been caught right higher.

Private investigator, search for Claire.

Never quit.

Spent years looking.

Till the day he died, been regretted that he never found you a new mom.

I'm sorry.

Of course you all enough trouble.

I'd best believe him.

No, no, no, son.

You're not going anywhere.

You can't leave now that we finally found you.

All right.

I'll stay.

But just for the night.

Good.

You sleep in your father's old room.

No, I'll just bed down the barn.

You gonna want something else, Josh?

Um, yeah, have us some more as a sausage, please.

No doubt you're a horse cut rights boy.

Never seen one could eat like you and your paw.

Well, this cooking tastes so good.

I like that boy first time I seen him.

So, Josh, have you decided what you're gonna do?

I call it the town a few days.

If that's all right.

Josh, you don't need permission.

Your family.

I truly appreciate your answering my telegram and coming to see me so promptly.

And I'm certain that we can work out a deal that'll be mutually beneficial.

I wanted you all to see this.

Is that Ponderosa land?

Not all that whole valley there is beyond our property land.

You're looking at the results of man's greed.

It's completely destroyed.

And that's exactly what Brandenburg wants to do to the Ponderosa.

I'm sure you're not going to see this.

I'm sure you're not going to see this.

I'm sure you're not going to see this.

I'm sure you're not going to see this.

Rock is a survey team over in the south metal.

Hello.

Just what do you think you're doing here?

I work in the geological survey for the Brandenburg mining company.

You're on Ponderosa land. Your trespassing.

There must be some sort of mistake, mister.

I got government permits.

I don't give them how many permits you got.

You better gather up your equipment and get out of here.

We have a legal right to stay and do our work.

Put it down.

I'm only going to say this one more time.

Get off my land. Now.

We're not leaving and there's nothing you can do to make us.

Hey!

Lord, I ain't never seen anything like that before.

Bronch is get blasting away!

Yeah, now I call the shoot out there equipment like that.

I see those people were trespassing.

What about their permits?

Bronch says that Brandenburg probably bought off the government officials.

The man wants to destroy the Ponderosa.

We got to stick together and fight him.

Sarah, time's a-changing.

Senator Lyda, the Ponderosa's going to get eaten up by the modern world.

Are you saying we should give up and sell out to Brandenburg?

Well, it might be the best thing to do at the moment.

Well, AC may be right.

You agree with him?

Yeah. I mean, no. I mean, I don't know.

That can only be a car ride for a day.

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

Why are you always so rough on the men in your life?

Ben!

Oh.

Just couldn't stand being in our boss and apartment, Obelmo.

It was so quiet without Sarah.

Do you see what I've had to put up with all these years?

Hugh, what about me?

So, what are my arms that I'm falling off?

I'll get that.

So, you and me go to sneak off and go fishing?

Well, I don't fish anymore.

It's a waste of time.

Come on, I'll get that.

Oh, come on, Ben, Jack, I can't recall seeing you without a fishing pole in your head.

We all grow up?

Change?

Bronk?

Sure, if he wants to talk to you.

All right.

Sorry, Brock, the survey company filed a complaint.

Got a warrant for your arrest.

Thanks, Coach, and my bail.

I hope you learn that you can't take the law into your own hands.

Since when do I need permission to protect my own land from dress faces?

Brock, the old ways of handling this kind of situation don't work anymore.

That survey party had legal permits.

Now, maybe you're right.

I need to work on most of the politicians.

Even the governor.

How can I fight that?

You probably can't.

Maybe it's time for a new approach.

I only know one way, and that's head on.

Brock, you've shoulder to the load long enough.

Let me see what I can do.

I appreciate that.

Hold up.

You know, we're all glad you showed up.

And I admit, I kind of missed you.

Kind of missed you too.

Hey, I raced you back through this meadow.

Then over the crossroads.

No, I don't think so.

I guess you're getting too old.

I ain't too old, but you're but...

You're a race, Brock.

You're still the best.

You're not too bad yourself.

Next time.

I'm going to beat you.

It'll be the day.

Jacob.

What can you tell me about my Pa?

I'm going to beat you.

I'm going to beat you.

I'll beat you.

I'll beat you.

Jacob.

Let me tell you about my Pa.

Oh, no, no, no.

Well, there's a whole lot I could tell you about horse cutbacks.

Even something.

Big old...

Bad man, lady.

Yeah, yeah, he was bigger than you are.

And he had a hard to match.

Never seen a man who would laugh so much.

I mean, horse convinced the chuckling.

One thing you could do just to laugh long with him.

People like to, man.

Oh.

Tell you, your daddy just naturally cared about folks.

First day I came here, treated me just like...

just like any other ranch hand.

Always fair and square.

Never gave a damn about the color of my skin.

Buckshot was telling me that Hoss and Lil Joe were always getting into trouble.

I'll call it down.

They were going to raise rabbits to make fur coats.

Rabbits?

Rabbits, but fur coats.

They played his whole bond, the whole bunkhouse.

Just crawl them with them bunnies.

But it seems the problem was when a cane time to skin them no critters,

horse couldn't bring himself to kill them no bunnies.

I have grown sort of fond of them at that.

Yeah, I got fond of them.

Alright.

Look, I didn't know and I went in bardis with you that you were going to go squamish on me.

But let's not forget that I still have a little say.

Half of these rabbits happen to be mine.

And I am going to skin my half of the rabbits.

Now if you'll just step aside...

No, you ain't.

You ain't skinning these rabbits, Joe.

Oh, yes, I am.

Would you step... you're standing in front of Fat Gerby right there behind your head.

That happens to be my Gerby. You're standing in front of my Gerby.

No, you ain't skinning these rabbits. Not today, you ain't Joseph.

You're making me mad.

I don't care. You ain't skinning these rabbits.

I'm skinning that Gerby.

Now, I don't want to have to come through you.

I'd reconsider that little rabbit.

I'm telling you right now.

I'm telling you my brother, I'm fast.

Now that Gerby right behind her is my rabbit.

I'll cut you to the ribbons.

I'm going to have... I'm telling you, I'm going to tell him about who I'm going to have.

That's my Gerby, I'm going to get to work here.

One way or the other, brother horse. I'm going to get in all of these gauges.

Come on, now, let me out of here.

Come on, come on, come back. Let me out of here!

Oh, son of a...

Son of a...

Look, let me out of here!

Let's see.

What's the trouble?

He won't let me skin by share at a Gerby's.

Is that true, huh?

Well, yeah, Dad, Bernie, Paul, I grew him sort of fond of these little fellers.

Well, the fact remains that they are half his.

That's right.

Dad, Bernie, legally they are half his.

Yeah, then let him have his hat.

And, oss, let him out.

Thank you, father.

Yeah, yes, see what I mean?

Are you sure, equally, in the Cartwright's state?

Therefore, any decision made about the Ponderosa has to be determined by a majority vote.

Miller, what's this all about?

Well, Mr. Brandenburg has made another offer to buy the ranch.

Not interested.

It's a very fair price.

Brandenburg is just trying to get our timber.

The deal clearly stipulates that Brandenburg can't clear cut any of the acreage,

and he's restricted for mining for gold or silver.

He can't extract a profit from Ponderosa timber.

Well, Mr. Brandenburg has made another offer to buy the ranch.

Not interested.

He can't extract a profit from Ponderosa timber, but only through controlled cutting,

with a mandatory replanting program.

Ben, how come you know so much about all of this?

He helped in the negotiations.

How interesting.

It'll make you all very rich.

Still preserve the integrity of the Ponderosa.

Well, that sounds good to me.

Me too.

I still feel uncomfortable in trusting to carry the Ponderosa to anyone other than a Cartwright.

Sarah's right.

You can't lose sight of who you are, boys.

The Ponderosa is a fulfillment of a dream that took your family 50 years to build.

We've got dreams of our own, Bronk.

It's a new century, a new world. Everything's changing.

Change, just for the sake of it, ain't always good.

Bronk, you're the only one who wants to stay here.

Why you gotta be so stubborn?

Because I know Ben Cartwright wouldn't want me to sell his ranch to some high binder like this Augustus Brandenburg.

I think you're wrong. Grandpa was a smart businessman.

I believe he would have approved of this deal.

Oh, that's a bunch of hog boys.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about, boy.

I know a lot more than you old man.

I know that even if Sarah takes your side, we still outvote you.

And we're gonna sell to Brandenburg with you like it or not.

I hope you're happy now.

Hi, Lorena.

Looks like you could use a friend.

I sure could.

Sarah, I'm sorry about what happened.

What are you gonna do about Brandenburg's offer?

The deal still stands. After all the vote was three to two.

I don't think that that vote should count. It wasn't fair.

Of course it was.

Why should Josh get a vote?

He's a cartwright.

How do we know that for sure?

I mean, he doesn't have any real proof like a birth certificate.

Oh, come on. All you have to do is look at his face.

Now, what about the picture necklace?

Even so. His mother never married Uncle Haas.

Come on, Ben, do you know what that makes him?

Josh.

Josh.

I didn't mean... I didn't... I didn't...

Well...

The time you two took a long look at yourselves.

Because you ain't acting much like a family.

Maybe Ben's right. Maybe I am too.

You're a lot of things, Bronke Evans, which will never be old.

At Brandenburg, he sure is a smart one.

Went behind my back and got Benj on his side.

You're right, Bronke. No matter what the deal is, you can't trust Brandenburg.

I know that. And I know he's up to no good.

I just wished I knew what it was.

Maybe there's a way we can find out.

I'm not sure.

Josh, I want to apologize.

No need for that.

You gotta believe me. I didn't mean it.

I was so frustrated with Benj.

Don't feel bad, sir.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't feel bad, sir.

You were right.

My momma never did an area house.

I got no claim to the Cartwright and Herdens.

That's not true.

You're a part of our family.

Jacob gave me this for you.

Go on, open it.

Seers, don't you want to read it?

Dear Grandchild, I hope this letter finds you in good health.

Unfortunately, mine is failing, and I know that I have little time left.

After searching all these years, I've now given up hope of ever finding you.

Still, a day never goes by without you and your mother being in my thoughts.

Cruel fate has deemed that we will never meet.

So, my dear one, I want you to know that no matter where you are, you are a part of me,

a part of the great Ponderosa Ranch, and a part of this family forever.

You will always be a Cartwright, and I love you very much.

You, Grandfather Ben.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

I'm not going to be a Cartwright.

Thanks for bringing me here.

I know what I've got to do now.

Where's your pub, Eric?

I'm from Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C.

Daddy fought with the Rough Riders in Cuba.

He was killed on the charge at San Juan Hill.

Okay, Roosevelt?

Your Uncle Joe was a war hero.

That's always buried in Washington.

Yeah.

It's a great honor, but I think he belongs here.

Good day.

I'm Augustus Brandenburg and you must be Miss Sarah.

Yes.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you,

and you're even more beautiful than I thought you would be.

That's very nice of you to say.

I'm a great friend.

I'm a great friend.

I'm a great friend.

I'm a great friend.

I'm a great friend.

I'm a great friend.

It's very nice of you to say.

Mr. Brandenburg, is there something wrong?

No, no, I'm just marveling at how much you look like your mother.

Do you know my mother?

Well, not really.

I made her acquaintance in passing many years ago.

When did you meet her?

Mr. Brandenburg, welcome to the Ponderosa.

How are you, Benjamin?

Good.

Coming inside everybody, we've got work to do.

I just want to tell you that I'm very happy we were able to negotiate a deal that benefits all the parties involved.

Wait a minute. We didn't agree to any deal.

I don't understand.

Mr. Brandenburg, don't be alarmed.

My sister's mistaken.

The family voted three to two in favor of selling the Ponderosa.

That vote doesn't count anymore.

Why not?

Because I've changed my mind.

I don't want to sell.

That makes it three to two against.

Mr. Swanson, I've been very accommodating during these negotiations.

And now you treat me like this?

Sir, I assure you I was completely aware of these.

Do we have a deal or don't?

Well, there's a few problems that need to be resolved, but I...

Benj, we don't owe him an explanation.

Mr. Brandenburg hasn't been totally honest.

Do you realize what you're saying, Evans?

Yes, sir. I figure I'm calling you a liar again.

The truth is he plans on mining the Ponderosa.

Not for gold and silver, but for leg night.

What's that?

That's coal.

Is that true, sir?

Of course not.

Now there you go lying again.

Damn you Evans! Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

In light of these slanderous accusations, I'm afraid Mr. Brandenburg will be forced to withdraw his offer to purchase the Ponderosa.

Good. Now get out of our house.

You were wonderful, Bronk.

Thank you.

Benj, I'm sorry.

I thought you weren't a town with Berkshire and Binge.

No, I really didn't feel like raising any hell tonight, Bronk.

Look, I know that I voted to sell the ranch, but I'm...

Well, now that it's still ours, I'd kind of like to stay a while, but only if that's okay with you.

Like I told you before, AC, you're always welcome here.

Thanks, Bronk.

I've done so much for you, Laredo.

And after all I've done for you, still you went and betrayed me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

You told your friend, Bronk Evans, about my plans for coal mining on the Ponderosa.

Believe me, Augustus, I never said anything to Bronk.

Don't lie to me.

Believe me, I would never...

I own you, Laredo.

You're nothing without me.

Do you understand?

I'm sorry.

Laredo, I have to know if I can trust you.

You can trust me.

You can trust me.

You can trust me.

Go.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to talk to you.

Come on, we're taking you home.

My home is in Boston.

I'll be going there on tomorrow's train.

Benj, please, don't act like this.

I want you to stay.

Look, Sarah, you and Bronco on.

You saved upon DeRosa, so do me a favor.

Leave me alone.

Where, darling? Talk to me.

Go!

Go!

Where's DeRce?

Go! Stop it!

Stop!

Stop!

Please help me!

Stop!

No!

5, 39.

Oh!

I cleaned it.

My girl!

You did it, you were dead!

Go!

It's you.

Taking the law into your own hands like that.

Bronco really weren't our fault.

We had no other choice.

I don't want to hear any of your excuses.

We got a lot of work to do tomorrow.

So you better get to bed.

Is that an order, sir?

Call it what you like, son.

As long as you're living under this roof,

you got to work along with us.

Fine.

Then don't wait for me in the morning.

I'll be moving on.

Ben's.

I'll talk to him.

Now let him go.

He's got to make up his own mind.

So how was fight?

What fight?

I know what you did.

You stay away from Sarah Cartwright, to understand.

Yes, sir.

I promise.

It won't happen again.

You can't write.

It won't happen.

Any of you even touches her.

And I'll kill him.

He'll get out.

I guess he's not coming.

I'm afraid not.

Well, let's move him out.

Hey, wait for me.

You know, I never got a chance to thank you

for coming to my rescue last night.

Oh, yeah.

Well, that kind of happened by mistake.

See, I had a little too much whiskey.

And to tell you the truth, I thought

it was saving one of the slim girls.

You're a huckle.

Open the gate, son.

Come on.

Get outta here.

Go, go, go.

Oh, God!

No!

No!

No! No!

Hold on!

No!

No!

Damn!

I'm gonna find nice bastards.

Before we go accusing anybody, we're gonna have to have some proof.

Oh, come on, Bronco.

You know Danwell, Brandon Berg's behind it.

How is she, Doc?

Well, it's hard to tell right now.

Sarah suffered some trauma to the head.

But I can't tell how serious it is until she regains consciousness.

So what are we supposed to do?

You just have to wait.

Now, send for me if there's any change.

Thank you, Doc.

I'll make a difference in the sense of his

media, but no.

Oh, halleped.

Please set PUB four.

I

Sarah.

You gotta wake up.

You hear me?

You gotta wake up, please.

Oh, my god,

don't judge me myself,

you automatically

hover through the MatindustogDad

Just leave it

still

I wanna,

switch the shown

right about Brattonburg all along.

I never should have questioned your judgment.

Hey.

It looks like that bump on your head brought you to your senses.

It's all right.

Now we're in the hell's ego.

What the hell?

Otis, we'll just get in here!

Let go of Otis!

Otis, step out of here and get the sky off of me!

Back off, cowboy. Back off!

Get him out of here.

Will you go right, sir?

Yes, I'm all right. Just get him out of here and take care of him.

Yes, sir.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Get your hands out where we can see them.

AC, get the guns.

What's your problem, Evans?

I don't have a problem.

Young card right here was trespassing. I was just a little nervous.

Young card right here was trespassing. I wouldn't have thrown in jail.

I wouldn't do that if I was you.

Oh, why not?

Because if you open your mouth one more time or move one inch,

I'm going to shoot you dead.

Come on, AC. Let's go home.

AC, you only have to learn the three against one.

It ain't very good, Otis.

Yeah, well, it really wasn't thinking about that at the time, buckshuh?

From the looks of your face, I say you weren't thinking at all, cousin.

Hey, come up here. Hurry!

Good morning.

It's your...

Good to have you back, cousin.

It's good to be back.

Oh, girl, you show ahead, let's worry.

I heard all about the accent. Is Sarah all right?

Oh, sure, she's all right.

But it wasn't no accident.

I'm not going to give up.

Listen, I'm leaving the day to start on a tour with President Roosevelt

to the western states, but when I get back, I'd like to do a follow-up story.

Maybe tell it through Sarah's eyes.

Well, I don't think so, Fincher.

Give Teddy my best.

Teddy!

I've been wanting to talk to you.

Ronca, I know what you're thinking.

Sometimes things aren't the way they seem.

I've figured as much, but do you want to tell me what this is all about?

There's a lot of things about me you don't know.

We've been friends a long time. Nothing's going to change that.

Ronca, I can't talk to you right now.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

I'm sorry, I've got work to do.

Loretta, please, let me help you.

I don't need your help.

I don't need your help.

Hey, come in here. You gotta see what I found.

Just look at all this stuff.

Almost drapes.

Look at this.

Look at this.

That was your father's.

Look at this.

Look what I found.

It's your father's diary.

I'd like you to just die in a reed there.

Not really.

Knowing my father this thing's probably full of useful and exciting information like where you had to breakfast.

Take a look at this.

There's Grandpa.

Who's that?

That's little John.

That's Grandpa with Adam, Hoss and Daddy.

That's you.

I wanna get you.

That's a good win of Adam.

I never got a chance to know my Pa.

I understand what you're feeling, Judge.

Ben and I were separated from our father too.

We knew him, but not very well.

Sarah, what are you gonna get it right?

We weren't separated. Our father left us.

All right. Daddy wasn't perfect. He made some mistakes.

But I still love him. Why is it so hard for you?

I don't feel like talking about that.

Well, maybe you're lucky not knowing your father, Judge.

From what everybody's told me, I think we would have been close.

Probably.

Things don't always work out like that.

And look at me and my father.

It's different. It's not in day.

Sure would like to get to know him, though.

Just gotta talk to him.

I've tried.

Write him a letter.

I wouldn't know what to say.

Then read this.

Maybe I'll get you some ideas.

Now, just a minute.

Are you telling me that I should just forget about the ponderosa?

Yes, we are.

Weighing all the risks, we believe it's not a wise investment.

This is stubborn resistance of the carte rights.

I don't give a damn about the carte rights.

I don't give a damn if it's a bad investment.

No matter what it takes, I want you to get it from.

But the carte rights are bound to fight any takeover.

You're not understanding me.

No more experience.

No more excuses. You know what you have to do. I want you to do it.

Sorry, it must have slipped.

It was an accident.

An accident, right?

Oh, lost my grip.

He did it.

He did it.

Cut.

Stop it! Stop it!

You're blaming my children now. Stop!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

What in the world are you doing?

We're cleaning the barn.

Like you had a toddler stay.

Oh.

Well, erm...

Carry on.

I want to thank you all for coming here tonight, especially,

Governor LaVell, and our distinguished representatives from Washington, D.C.,

Congressman Hayes, and Senator Burke, and Senator Swag.

Yeah, yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I want you gentlemen to know that you're here.

I want you to know that you're here.

I want you to know that you're here.

I want you gentlemen to know that you're going to continue to enjoy my financial support

when it comes time for re-election.

Just remember who I am when I come and ask for a favor.

There shouldn't be any problems.

We'll just push the paperwork through.

No one's going to question it.

So you're telling me that there's nothing the card rates can do to stop it?

My law.

They'll be forced to sell.

Then, gentlemen, I'd like to propose a toast to my newest acquisition, the Ponderosa.

Germany was executed as it was in time for help and sweat.

No problem.

But it was already very hurricanes that helped.

You know what?

Around a half of Hogwarts' life has just gone on.

Starbird fire.

Vance has passed through.

My name is toobad.

Politics, T.S. Lamar, but with Warroor.

I count down to 19 to 15 more characters in Gharam.

That's beautiful, isn't it?

What are you doing here?

I'm just admiring the view.

Mr. Brandenburg, I want you off our land immediately.

I like it when you're angry. You've got fire. That's exciting.

You're trespassing.

Nope. No, I'm sorry, Miss Cartwright.

But you're the one that's trespassing.

This is Ponderosa Land.

Oh, I know it is. And I've been granted federal land rights to 80% of it.

It's a lie. Get off my land right now.

Don't get upset. I just want to talk to you.

Leave me alone.

Now, listen, girl, that isn't necessary.

That was a warning shot.

The next one goes right between your eyes.

I'm afraid it's true.

Brandenburg does have control of the Ponderosa.

His company negotiated a deal to mine the coal deposits for the federal government.

Exactly how he got the land grants is beyond my comprehension.

So what's going to happen?

You have to give up all right and title to the Ponderosa Rand.

Effective immediately.

Grandpa used to always tell me.

Things started getting crazy. Go fishing.

Care to join me?

What? Thought you'd never ask.

You wanted yourpain found Doctors.

H cheesy Wendell into an event that capability

clothes for all offshore lands.

To generate rainuvets,

it is not complete…

Or Saturn or Saturn.

Your father built it for you.

You come back here someday.

I'm tired of talking.

I'm going to give up on you.

I said I'm tired of talking.

What are we going to do?

One of the card rights always do when it comes right down to it.

We'll do it ourselves.

You mean we're going to make a big one of these things and stick it down old Halloween's mind without even telling him about it?

Well, I tell him. He'll know it's there when he sees it tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I said tomorrow.

Adam, I heard you and Mr. D. Disammer talking to me.

The timbers are big. They got to be milled and cut.

How are you going to do all that by tomorrow?

Well, now we own a sawmill, don't we?

We'll just give this job to our younger brother and tell him it's impossible to do.

Yeah, that ought to do it.

What you writing?

I'm, er, writing a letter to my father.

Good luck, sir, will you?

Yeah, I will.

Yes, sir.

What kind of book's that?

Law book.

Hey, man.

Yes, we don't live in books here.

Bookshop, please. I'm trying to work.

I'm sorry.

I can't believe that there's nothing we can do to stop Brandenburg.

It's all over.

Not yet.

I'm going to drag Brandenburg into court.

On what grounds?

Bribing government officials to obtain the federal land grants.

See, if we can prove Brandenburg's malfeasance,

ownership of the ponderosa would automatically revert back to us.

Well, that's all fine and dandy, but can you prove it?

I don't know, but I sure as hell am going to try.

I lost it!

Damn, Cartwright.

Damn, Cartwright.

There's nothing but trouble my whole life.

Augustus, don't get so upset.

This is merely a nuisance.

Are you certain they have no case against me?

Nothing but unsubstantiated accusations.

But Judge will throw it off before we ever get to court.

Then we'll sue the Cartwright's for libel.

This court will come to order the honorable Jefferson Mackenzie Presiding All Rise.

They see it.

Mr. Cartwright, your opening statement.

That just gonna eat that no good skunk alive, you are.

Oh, so.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Planis case is very simple.

We intend to prove conclusively that Augustus Brandenburg

conspired to attain federal land grant rights to the ponderosa ranch.

And he did so by bribing government officials.

Your Honor, you will quickly realize that the allegations against my client

are unfounded and without proof.

This entire charade has just been concocted in the imagination of the plaintiff

to libel the good name of Augustus Brandenburg.

Mr. Cartwright.

Your Honor, I would like to submit exhibit A into evidence.

As you can clearly see, it consists of Brandenburg's own handwritten accounts

of every bribe he paid to the government officials.

Your Honor, I am checked.

These documents cannot be admitted as evidence without expert testimony

or eyewitness substantiation.

Objection sustained.

Your Honor, if it pleases the court, there is an eyewitness to verify

that Augustus Brandenburg is the author.

May I suggest that you produce this witness, Mr. Cartwright?

Yes, sir.

The plaintiff calls Abigail Stimmons to the stand.

Who is the woman?

Raise your right hand.

You solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

so I hope you got.

I do.

So Mr. Brandenburg gave money to Senator Hates.

Objection, Your Honor, leading the witness.

St

St.

I'll rephrase the question.

Did you see Brandenburg give money to Frederick Hayes?

Objection, Your Honor.

This exchange of money could have been for any number of reasons.

Your Honor, if you'll allow the witness to answer, I believe she can clarify

that the money was indeed a bribe.

Overrode.

Sit down, Mr. McAdams.

Please answer the question, Mr. Stimmons.

And then he marked it down in his ledger that it was a payment for the land grants.

Check the documents, it's there.

Oh, yes.

I've found the notation in question.

Thank you.

I have no further questions.

Well, Mr. Innes, I have a few.

Mr. McAdams, it's getting late.

You can begin your cross-examination, the first thing in the morning.

This court's adjourned.

I sure was proud of you today, Ms. Lorena.

I just told the truth.

You know, getting those records out of Brandenburg's files has really strengthened her case.

Well, I found something else in those files.

That's Mama.

Mm-hmm.

I'm not sure.

That's Mama.

What the hell is Brandenburg doing with the picture of our mother?

Look at this.

He has newspaper articles and mother's charity work in Boston.

Benj's graduation in my debut top ball.

Even Mama's obituary.

Do you remember this?

Gus Brand.

Gus Brandenburg.

Who's that?

That's Brandenburg.

I thought I'd met him before.

About 20 years ago, Gus Brandenburg worked for the ponderosa.

I still don't understand.

What is he doing with all of these photos of mother?

I think he was in love with her.

Brandenburg was quite taken to the Annabelle.

That's what caused the trouble between he and Little Joe.

What kind of trouble?

Brandenburg, when I was Little Joe with a gun, your grandpa was supposed to shoot him in the leg.

Brandenburg pressed charges.

Brandenburg pressed charges.

But the judge said Benjot himself defends.

I remember right after the trial.

Brandenburg was going to get revenge on the cop rights, but he disappeared.

He went into the Arizona territory.

He struck it rich with a silver mine, and then he became a bestest Brandenburg.

Now he's come back to take his revenge.

Miss Simmons, can anyone corroborate your testimony?

That you were with Mr. Brandenburg on the night in question.

Yes, several of my employees, the mayor, three city councilmen, and governor-level.

And you were there too, Mr. McAdams.

Don't you remember dancing with me?

I recall being at a political fundraiser, but I did not witness any exchange of bright money.

And you must have had your eyes closed because it took place right under your nose.

No.

I have no further questions, you remember?

You may step down, Miss Simmons.

All rise.

Be seated.

Well, after careful deliberation, I reached a verdict in view of the handwritten documents

and the eyewitness testimony of Miss Abigail Simmons.

It seems very clear to me that Augustus Brandenburg unlawfully bribed government officials.

Oh, please.

Now, because of the seriousness of this offense, I have notified the federal attorney's office

and the Justice Department, and they have assured me that criminal charges will be filed immediately

against all parties involved in this conspiracy.

Now, in the matter of Cartwright versus Brandenburg, this court finds for the plaintiff,

and this case is closed.

Oh, no.

Thanks, Ron.

Sir, Mr. Swanson, do you think the Benjus got a future as a lawyer?

He's one of the best I ever worked with.

Good at ending without your help, sir.

Hey, what about a radio?

Where is she something on that witness stand?

Oh, look, you think she is something wherever she was?

Sure, Roy.

And what's so bad about that?

Nothing. I feel the same way.

Yeah, I think we all did.

Well, gentlemen, I think you might make me blush.

Oh, now, man.

Hey, Josh, where's that scrapbook? I want to show it to the radio.

Oh, last time I saw it, I think I gave it to you.

Sarah, what a pleasant surprise.

You've come for your scrapbook.

There's some beautiful pictures in here.

Especially the ones of you and Annabelle.

What are you doing here?

I have some fond memories of this place.

You see that rock over there?

That's where I first told your mother that I loved her.

That was a long time ago.

I have to get back now.

Stop. Don't go.

Please.

Don't be afraid.

I just want to talk to you, Sarah.

We should be friends.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

We'll talk.

It's a mother time.

You don't believe me?

Let me go.

Listen to me, dammit!

I love that one.

And she loves me.

Sarah.

Sarah.

We belong together.

We belong together.

We belong together.

But you belong together!

Come on.

Tru bilaa!

Hey, Dion!

Now, back up...

Mm.

That's amazing.

Oh, he's awesome.

Um.

Uh!

uzak-de-de!

sniper!

help me!

good to hear yurts

help bro

I'm a brand new bird, come on.

Look, sir.

I tried to stop you.

Don't you worry about it.

We'll get him back.

Come on, get him inside.

All right, I'm tired.

Come on.

Hey!

You know when you sip your tea like that, you look, you look just like your mother.

You really loved her.

Annabelle was everything to me. She was my life.

Little Joe, he didn't understand.

He wanted her all for himself.

But I never wanted to harm anybody.

I just wanted to be with her.

It's all right.

Drink your tea.

Drink your tea.

Drink your tea.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Hold it!

It's your billy handbook.

Get away!

I told you, if you touched her again, I'd kill you.

Oh!

Oh!

Stop!

You can go!

Stop!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Hold it!

Hold it!

I'm coming!

I'm coming!

I'm coming!

I'm coming!

I got you! I got you!

Hey, you got a jump?

It's a nice car.

A nice big car!

I'll tell you, I'll ready.

Hey!

Go!

Go!

Sarah!

Sarah!

Sarah!

Sarah!

Your grandfather, Ben and your father's a bemighty proud of you.

I kind of hate to admit it, but I'm kind of proud to have you myself.

Thanks, Frank.

Well then, we can't be standing around here all day observing the view.

Come on, there's a lot of work to be done.

You

You
