Original subtitles

Gentlemen, I have been in power to execute the law here as I see fit.

Brooke no interference is that clear?

Questions?

What about the cart rats?

Damn the cart rats.

Let's go.

What do you think Jacob?

Sure, Hannah, that's me.

It'll be hard pressed around up all those sources before the bad weather sets in.

Ah, we got a chance.

If we put in some long days, I don't know what you brought, but I sure am hungry.

Hey, bronch, Jacob.

Evening Josh.

Oh, God.

Five o'clock is dinner time.

Half the time nobody shows up, man, many do show up there late.

Not much trouble.

He's cooking where this bunch trying to keep things warm.

What is that, buckshot?

At five o'clock it was meatloaf.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

That's...

Not bad.

Not bad? What do you mean not bad?

I bet your dollar you can't do is good.

Okay.

Sure.

Okay, it's all yours.

No, I've been thinking.

What do you suggest I do about that offer?

Are you asking my advice?

Yeah, you're my sister. Who else am I going to ask?

Benj, I don't know.

What about your idea of setting up a small lot practice here?

I know.

I guess just a question of what I want to do with my life, Sarah.

I mean, we are talking about one of the biggest law firms on the East Coast.

Have to consider it seriously.

What about the family?

No!

Suffering's getting cold.

Just need cold around when it's thrown away.

We're coming, buckshot.

No, we'll do it, yeah.

You hold this, please.

It's a pretty good shooting, brother. Not bad.

Who won?

I did.

Isn't AC coming to Cypher?

No, I haven't seen him all day.

He rode off late this afternoon to fix that crowd down on the south side.

It's not like AC to miss supper.

Well, I think AC has other things on his mind besides eating.

Adam, this is madness.

What do my father finds you here?

Oh, Cara, I had to see you.

Papa's too back any minute now.

He just went to make special arrangements for a train force.

Planes have all changed for leaving Sunday night.

Sunday?

Yeah.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Sunday?

Yes.

He has a meeting with the President and the Secretary of Interior on Friday.

We have to leave.

Adam, come with us.

Please.

Please, Adam, come with us. It would be so much fun.

Now, you and AC's got three days to get those line shacks stocked.

I've given orders to the winter line riders to move out first thing Monday morning.

And we're going to set up base camp at Caine Lake.

You boys get your work done. You can meet us there.

We've got 1,000 head of horses to round up and deliver to the Army by the end of the month.

So we do have our work cut out for us.

I want to move out at first light.

Not talking about tomorrow, are you, Bron?

Yes, sir.

I mean, Josh is going fishing tomorrow.

That's right. We tied a whole bunch of new trout flies.

I thought we tried a coke's old mow out of that, that deep hole in the forks.

Old mow will have to wait.

We've got a lot of work to do. Not much time to get it done.

Yes, sir.

Bronk.

You know, Annie's leaving next week, so why don't you let me take AC's place?

AC only has a few more days to spend with Annie.

Bronk, I can do it. I can ride as well as any of you.

Miss Sarah, this is no job for a lady.

Bronk, not being fair to AC.

You'll give me your answer then. Promise?

Promise.

No, tomorrow I'm in.

Tomorrow I'm in.

It's a thousand years until then.

Adam, I don't want you to go.

Come on, Bronk.

Send somebody else. Let AC be with Annie.

Are you questioning my orders, Ben?

Well, in this case, yes, I am.

Don't do it again.

You live so long you don't remember anything you've ever felt about being young and in love.

Ben, maybe someday you'll find out just how dumb that question was.

I'll visit you.

I'll visit you, normally use the front door, Mr. Cartwright.

Yes, sir.

Perhaps you can explain to me what you were doing, jumping off the balcony.

What?

I came to see Annie, Mr. Stewart. I've asked her to marry me.

See? Well, times have obviously changed.

When I was a boy, we asked the young lady's father for permission first.

I'm sorry.

I must tell you that Annie's happiness means everything to me.

Adam, as it should do you.

I love her very much.

She loves you.

They're in lies our dilemma.

Dilemma?

Annie is gifted with a God-given talent that is meant to be shared with the world.

A genius that belongs to the world, not just to you, nor to me. Do you understand?

I think I do.

Let me ask you, Adam.

Do you love Annie? Truly, do you love Annie?

Yes, sir.

And you must be man enough to let her go.

I don't know much about poetry, but what I've heard of life.

Would you like to hear one of my favorites, Josh?

I'd be pleased.

This is by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She wrote this poem for her husband.

I like it too. Her mother loved this poem.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.

When feeling out of sight for the ends of being in idyll grace.

I wish I could write like that.

Mmm. That's beautiful.

Hey, see, you're back. Hey, hey. What's wrong? Nothing.

Did you see Annie? What did she say?

We've been waiting on you, eh, see? What's wrong?

I don't feel much like talking.

Man, maybe I should go talk to him.

I don't think so, Benj.

Oh, do you remember, sweet Betsy, from Pike?

Ross, the great mountain with her lover, Ike, with two yoke of oxen, a big yelurt,

hog, pulsing, high rooster, and one spotted hog.

Oh, dangfiddly, dangfiddly, dangfiddly, dangfiddly, dangfiddly.

Hey, dangfiddly.

Hey, see, what's the matter?

You ain't said that thing since we left.

I'm sorry, I just got a lot of my mind.

Ah, look at this view, though.

Mmm. Isn't it something?

Ponderosa.

Thousand square miles of the most beautiful country in the world to call our home.

Dad burned AC. We've got to be lucky he's gotten alive.

Mmm. My, my.

What is it, AC?

I saw somebody in the trees over there.

I don't see nobody. What do you look like?

Man, on a horse, just seemed to vanish.

And he was just shadows. Maybe you saw a ghost.

Who?

Sure.

He's trying to help cousin.

Oh, do you remember, sweet Betsy, from Pike?

Ross, the great river with her lover, Ike.

Ah!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Come on!

Hey, reach the big desert and get out.

Down in the sand, he was roving about.

I can great terror look down in surprise.

Sank it up old Betsy, you'll get sand in your eyes.

Oh, dang fiddly, dang fiddly, dang fiddly day.

Well, here we go.

We got this one in the shack up at Bear Tooth Pass today,

and then them two tomorrow, Caprabason,

who's still going out to go like something to make it, AC.

And we'll do.

Oh, dang!

You're going to Europe?

Annie wants to get married in Paris.

We'll live there so she can study music.

You mean you're going to leave the Ponderosa?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I already picked out the site where I want to build my house.

If I ever find a woman that will have me,

I wish you could see it, AC.

Right on in Hilta.

Dang, you see forever.

The mountains, lake, dad burning.

I was hoping that we could all be a family.

Me, you, Ben's and Sarah, we've got our lives here.

Raise our kids.

You know what I mean?

I don't know, Josh.

Ponderosa just doesn't mean as much to me as it does to you.

I guess I just want to go my own way, be my own man.

Well, you go away.

I'm sure as heck going to miss you.

Josh, I hate to ask you this, but...

Ask.

I need a favor.

Anything.

I'm sure you don't mind doing this alone?

No, don't worry about it.

I'll take care of the lines I can pair to the pass.

Meet your copper bacer in the morning.

All right, I owe you.

I'm out of here.

I'm fine.

You sure?

Get out of here, Dad, burn it.

I'm tired of looking at you.

I'm sitting out of here for you.

Ben's rounds up those trays.

We can call it a pretty good day's work, bro.

Yeah.

We'll set up base camp where we under under that big trees.

Right on the point, huh?

I wonder what's happened to Ben.

He should have been here for now.

Oh, you know how he is.

Pretty independent, how he does things takes his own time.

It'll be along.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong with these boys, Jacob.

There's something missing.

That's it.

Yeah, Ben Cartwright kept his sons together as a family.

They worked together, and by God they really loved the bond of roses.

Well, if you're generation, bro, different values, I guess.

No such thing as worth shipping funding 25 minutes after the sulfide drinking taxes.

If you pray to see everything at a time or two, one of the twenty remaining mutations

I came up with in the Symposium and my estate roommate came up with the Knockout

Program Dean, Doctor Hamlet, Loris LorCarl

Oh

Got over here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah

What's your hands up

Oh

Well you ain't thinking of leaving us are you oh

But shut I don't know I love it here, but Boston is where I spent most of my life. I do miss it

And my friends are there

The only friend I have here is Annie and next week she'll be gone. She should turned out to be a pretty thing

Seems like this yesterday you and hers run around freckles and big deals

Did we hear her play once?

Me and a statement sent in Cisco

It's outside on a stage the big symphony orchestra behind her

Here they're saying she's a musical genius. She brought tears to mind

Did you know she's gonna play for the president at the White House? We're Teddy

President Roosevelt, yeah, Teddy

Teddy

And

If you thought I was just thinking about something Josh said this morning

He's right, you know this is the most beautiful place on earth

Maybe I am gonna miss it

Just wait till you see our house in Paris Adam. It's beautiful. It's right on the tip of your sin. Louis overlooking the sand in Notre Dame

We're gonna be so happy there

Yeah

Just afraid you don't know how much I love you

I'm sorry for intruding truly I am but I sorely need your help

Well

It's about a mile up head sir, or bad

All right, let's put it into

Oh

Is that really Frank James the famous outlaw Jesse James's brother yeah, he says he's a friend of Bronx

Rogued him in the Civil War Adam he and his brother religions

Look go. I'll take care of him and I'll see you as soon as I can. Okay. You sure you'll be all right sure go

You

Son give me a hand here will ya

Yeah, all right.

And Pinkerton's bush whacked me last night just before dark.

And they were set up waiting for me on that cross side of the planet, or else I...

Damon?

Jason, after me ever since.

Are they after you? You still want to bother alone?

No, no, no.

After Jesse was killed, I paid my debt.

I stood trial three times, acquitted each time.

All the charges against me have been dropped.

Why are the Pinkerton's after you?

One man, Charlie Soringo.

To him, his personal law don't count.

Now, son, I thank you.

But it's best you leave me, you clear on out of here because they can't be too far behind me.

You said that right. Here they are.

Well, well, well.

After all these years, Soringo's finally gonna get his chance to kill me.

No, he's not.

Not on the pond or ocean.

I don't know who you're dealing with, son.

Gentlemen, I'm Adam Cartwright, Jr.

My family owns a pond orosa.

Mr. Ketchum,

disarm the prisoner, put him on his horse and be quick about it.

Oh, wait, can't we just talk this over first?

Stand aside, young man.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I said, stand aside.

I heard you the first time, but I'm sorry, I can't.

I just can't do that. I'm sorry.

I warn you, you're obstructing justice.

Justice? What do you mean by justice?

Are you gonna shoot him again?

No, sir.

I'm gonna hang him.

No, you're not.

Who's gonna stop us? You?

I don't see anybody else, do you?

You see, gentlemen, like I said, on this land,

those railroad badges of yours, they don't mean much.

In fact, I hate to tell you this, they don't mean a damn thing.

Legally, you're trespassing.

Mr. Cole.

Mr. Ringo.

Handcuffed this insolent little pup.

With pleasure, sir.

And then, teach him a lesson he won't soon forget.

Oh, wait a minute. I got a better idea.

Why don't you let me take Frank here to the hospital,

and you take your thugs off the pond at Rosa.

What do you say?

You move that hand again, I will blow his head off.

You realize how much trouble you're getting into, boy?

I don't do well when I'm in trouble.

It makes me nervous.

When I get nervous, my finger twitches.

It's an involuntary reaction.

I can't stop.

In case you're interested, there's a hair trigger on this gun.

Just so we don't have any accidents,

why don't you tell your playmates to throw down their weapons on the ground now?

You're bluffing.

I wouldn't bet on that, Sir Ringo.

But if there's any doubt in your mind, I'm not.

All right, gentlemen, do as he says, throw down your weapons.

And the rifles, don't forget the rifles, gentlemen.

Do it.

And the automatic, Charlie.

Fancy.

A gift from Mr. Pickett for services, Renee.

I've carried it for more than 20 years.

You're the first beside myself to put a hand on.

Really?

How come?

Because I'd kill anyone else who touched it.

Well, I guess I should be scared to death then.

Yes, you should.

Is that what you intend to do, Mr. Sir Ringo?

Not only kill Frank James, but kill me as well?

You're gonna be one busy boy.

Now, ride out of here and keep riding until you're off in the bottom of the road.

Enjoy the moment, Mr. James. You and your young friend here.

You won't get out of here alive. That I promise you.

Let's go.

Not bad, son. Not bad.

Frank James, the outlaw?

Yes, he's been shot. He just appeared out of nowhere.

We did what we could for his wound. I could've shot him.

I don't know.

And we have to go back up there.

Mr. Sir, I'm not sure that's such a good idea.

We can't leave. I see alone with a wounded man. He needs help.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Besides, it'd make a heck of a good story for my newspaper.

Let's go. No. Buckshot, this is news. I can't just ignore it.

I'm gonna get your head blown off, Fincher.

Annie, them fells that your father saw riding past your place last night.

Did he tell you what they looked like? Did he tell you whether they were in dusters or suits?

Yes, they were. Why?

Pay attention. What, the National Detective Agency?

Yes, this is all planned. That's where they're here. They get Frank James.

Buckshot, what are you talking about? What is going on?

Frank's here because of Bronk. Maybe me. She, we was together. Me and Bronk, Frank and Jesse.

We fought out of Texas in the Civil War.

You?

I wasn't always old, man.

You and me?

Frank, come and find them.

Yes, sir.

Hey, James. You're a dead man.

War was over.

We rode out of Texas in the Missouri surrender.

Charlie Schirringo was there with the Union boys.

None of them are the old enough to shave on either side.

Jesse was 16. He carried the white flag for us.

And they heard that Yankee officer give the order and the Union troops started shooting

and they noticed down like we was nothing.

So Jesse take a bullet. I got hit.

Still carrying a Yankee lead in my leg.

Wasn't for Bronk. I wouldn't be here. He got me out.

I don't tell you we were the lucky ones that day.

We have to do something to help. Will you come with us?

No, Annie, I'm neither will you. We just get in the way and probably get themselves killed

worrying about us.

Buck shot's right. The thing to do is to get the sheriff.

I was surprised to see that old log house was still there.

We used to play it when we were kids.

Yep. Grandfather put it up solid like a fort.

First place the cock right is built when it came to the Ponderosa.

I remember.

We used to call it the old homestead house.

Yeah, that's where it all began, bench.

Yeah, it's the shame it's been let to go to ruin like that.

Cool, sir.

Oh boy.

We got trouble, Bronk.

Give me a hand, a hand.

Rank? Hello, Bronk. It's been a while.

Yeah, it has. Let's get him off here.

Sir Ingle come after us. Jesse and me from that time we come on from the war, Bronk.

He wouldn't let up on us.

He was the youngest detective in the agency and he was bound. He was going to make a name for himself.

You know how bad things got during the fight.

Both sides, union people and us, we did terrible things.

No quarter ass no given.

Women, children, children, old folks.

People's homes burned.

Things I don't like to remember.

None of us do, Frank.

We live bitter.

We're a guerrilla fighter as we hated the Yankees and the Yankees hated us.

But even after we surrendered, things didn't get me better.

The Yankees declared us outlaws.

Not soldiers from a defeated army, but outlaws.

So, Sir Ingle honored us, Jesse and me.

He ran my blood kin off their farms.

He surrounded my mother's house and blew her arm off with a bomb.

Killed my nine year old brother.

I heard.

Okay.

I'm going to have to cordurize that wound.

AC, grab a hold of him.

Gentlemen, thank you just the same.

Let's just do it.

Let's go and hurt you now.

I know.

Let's get along with it and not be jarring about it all night.

Okay.

Come on, ya.

Done.

I didn't catch you enjoying that, did I?

That's the most fun I've had today.

Thanks.

Fonda Rose has always been a safe haven for people in trouble.

I think I seen it the right thing.

I think you did too.

But if we give Frank sanctuary on the Ponderosa, it'll be dangerous for all of us.

We'll be putting our life on the line.

Can we go to the law?

And what about Sheriff Russ?

Out here against Serengo, he had another chance.

Those men with him are professional gunmen.

I'd kill us. They don't give a damn about the law.

And if we do this thing, we're on our own.

I can decide for myself, but I can't decide for you three.

How can you be sure?

Because I know him.

If I fire with five men, Joe, we forget it.

Would you just let him go off alone?

They'll hunt him down and kill him.

That's exactly what they'll do.

For my dead body.

And mine.

Jacob, wrong. You know where I stand.

Benj, yeah, I'm with you.

This is the plan.

Now, me and Jacob will take Frank down to the Sheriff's office in Virginia City.

Then you two can head up to Copper Basin and get Josh.

All in, parents run around with their guns.

I don't want him up there by himself.

Right.

Now you go back to the house and wait for us there.

Keep your eyes open if you run into any of Serengo's gunmen.

Give them a wide berth.

Don't worry.

Good luck.

There'll be a hundred men in these trees.

We'll never see them until they were right on us.

I don't like it.

If you, keep your eyes open and quit the bitching.

Bitch, who's bitching?

You are.

I'm not bitching.

I'm nervous, I'm nervous I tend to talk a lot.

What's that?

What?

Over there, something moved. See?

You're seeing things, there's nothing there.

I'm not seeing things, there's something there. Look.

You're right, there's something there.

We'll see what it is. I'll cover you.

You'll cover me?

You ever shoot that thing?

Of course I've shot it.

We're a good shot. Go on.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Come on.

There's the pack horses Josh had with him, weren't they?

Yeah.

Where's Josh?

Look over here.

I don't see anything.

Looks like Josh met up with two horsemen here,

and they rode off in that direction.

How can you tell?

See these tracks here and there? See the way they go?

You can barely see them. Where'd you learn to do that?

Out back, Australia, when I was a kid, an old aborigine hunter told me.

He could trace a dingo dog from miles across bedrock.

Think the fingertans got him?

Could have been anybody.

I thought for years about coming to see you.

And many of us left her over with Captain Quantrell.

You know that he was only 28 years old when the Yankees killed him.

Yeah.

I guess we were all the youngers in them days.

I don't look back on those years with too much pleasure, Frank.

What would you do in over in California?

They're sitting in my uncle.

He's got himself a big ranch there at Paso Robles.

I don't even know what buckaroo friend of yours there.

Tom Micks.

You remember him?

Sure.

Last time I saw Tom, he was just a boy.

Road line for us. Years ago.

That's when I first come to the Ponderosa.

How's he doing?

Alright, I guess.

Wanted me to throw in with him.

Making something called moving pictures.

Hope this sounded pretty silly to me.

New century, new time, Frank.

The life we lived is no longer possible.

Ron, ain't no way out of here picking us got every trail blocked.

Can we get out through the canyon?

Not in the shape he's in.

Can you ride, Frank?

Where's you?

Back to Kane Lake.

You take shelter the first night in the old cart ride house.

That's her only out.

Are you sure you can ride?

I have to, don't I?

Yeah.

I'm sure he'd get an old rocket.

You ain't old.

You're wounded.

Come on.

Okay, boys. Stop right there.

Mr. Sringo wants to see you.

Mr. Sringo, you're dead.

Well, Mr. Cartwright, we meet again.

And you, sir, who are you?

My name's Benjamin.

Cartwright.

That's right.

And who are you?

I'm Charles Sringo, Chief Detective Pinkerton Agency.

I'm a lawyer, Mr. Sringo.

And I demand to know why you put handcuffs on my cousin.

Well, sir, I don't care who you are.

What you are.

Nor do I give a good damn about what you demand.

You are here alive on my orders.

Now, I believe we have some business to discuss.

You okay, Josh?

Yeah.

Yeah, just to my hungry is all.

Let's get down to it, shall we?

These are my terms.

We'll make a trade.

You give me Frank James and I'll give you Josh Cartwright.

Frank Scott.

We don't know where he is.

Gentlemen, it is now...

noon, exactly.

I give you 24 hours.

If I don't have Frank James by noon tomorrow,

I'll hang on Mr. Cartwright here in his place.

What do you want to make this trade?

Here we'll do.

noon tomorrow then.

Mr. Cole, show our guest the door.

Oh!

One more thing.

If you try anything heroic or attempt something foolish,

I promise I'll blow his head clean off.

Gentlemen.

There's bigger dunes on every trail.

There's swarming all over the mountain.

But I think I found a way.

Done that canyon.

Probably helped Brock and Jacob got out.

They didn't get out.

They doubled back to King Link.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, got Josh.

Come on, boy, dance!

Don't say you can move them, man!

Come on, boy, dance!

Come on, boy!

Come on, boy!

Well, what'd you stop for?

I said, dance!

That's enough.

Well, we was just fun with him a little Mr. Serengo.

No harm done.

Take the cuffs off of him, bring him to me.

Lucky.

Coffee?

No, sir.

Whiskey?

I don't drink.

Well, I know that you're hungry.

How about some food?

Please, be my guest.

You're sure?

Tell me, is it Josh or Joshua?

Josh.

And what cartwright's son did you spawn from?

Haas.

They called my father Haas.

You bear a strong resemblance.

You're the bastard child.

Yes, sir.

I had an acquaintance with your grandfather.

Ben Cartwright years ago, it was a brief, acquaintance.

I can understand why your acquaintance with my grandfather was brief.

He was a hard-headed man, stubborn.

He was not a friendly encounter.

As I recall, it was a dispute over bronch Evans.

He wanted to kill me.

It's a pity he didn't.

You know, Josh, years ago, I made up a list of the men that I thought most evil.

I've scratched every name off that list but one.

And until I scratched that last singular name off that list, Frank James.

Well, I just don't feel that my life would have been justified.

That's why you're doing all this?

It's as simple as that, my young friend.

I'm not your friend.

Anyway, I'm going to hang Frank James here tomorrow.

My family's not going to let that happen, Mr. Serengo.

Well, then you and your family are all going to die.

How you going to explain that?

Simple enough.

Frank James, a known and dangerous, color went berserk.

And before I can get to him to save you, he wiped out the entire Cartwright family.

You think anybody will believe that?

Oh, my Josh.

Who would possibly question my word and what happened here?

Ben Cartwright, maybe you picked the wrong man.

Cyringo!

PhilOverBe Keram Humsky

Per tinkaji

Is it a ringo? Kill Bronx wife?

Yep.

Didn't know he ever had a wife.

You ain't spoke about it since the day it happened.

When did it happen?

That's the day I'll never forget as long as I live.

I mean, me was trying to finish building this house before the baby came that fall.

Marina came out of the tent that morning, all dressed to go to town. She kissed Brock.

Said she'd be back before dark.

That was the last time we ever saw her alive.

How was she killed?

The boy gang was in town and hit the bank that morning.

Serengo and his men were just lying in the wait.

Karina was just coming out of the general store across the street.

Witnesses said that Serengo wheeled around and didn't hesitate,

shattering it back.

What Bronx do?

Win plum crazy. Didn't care about anything.

All he wanted to do was find Serengo and kill him.

What did he?

Your grandfather.

Ben Light Bronx took a man, comforted him.

Talked to him for days.

Made him stop thinking about killing.

Then he hired him as his former.

Gave him a fresh start in life.

The other night, you ask him if you remember it ever being young and in love.

Bench. He never forgot.

Wake Frank, I got a plan.

Just before first light, while they're all still asleep,

you boys head down to their camp, get Josh and get out fast.

Is that clear?

Yeah. Let's go.

When you go to get Josh, you're going to stir up a hornet's myth.

So cover your trail, make sure you're not being followed, and get back here.

Right. Good luck.

That was a while ago.

My son's grown now, and I'm real proud of him.

He's a good man.

I do love my family, Bronx.

I never had a family of my own.

I always wanted one, but Serengo took that away from me.

How's that?

He killed my wife, Corina.

Sorry, Bronx.

I haven't mentioned that name aloud in many years.

When Ben Cartwright died and left me the responsibility of running the ponderosa,

all the kids come back.

I says to myself, Bronx, this is your family.

Be a father to them.

And how are you doing?

Not too good.

Anything happens to this family, Frank.

I don't know what I'll do.

Gone.

Serengo suckered us.

Held us here.

Wasted three hours in those woods just looking at this.

Yeah, well, he's smart.

Yeah, so are we.

The Rhine horses have to leave tracks.

Let's go.

Hey.

Hey.

Here, look.

You wait here.

I'm sure I'd like to go with the roof.

Clue, hoo.

You better let me go up and check it out by myself.

You might not cotton the hair of the newspaper man around.

Yes.

Welcome, Sheriff.

You have no authority on this property.

Here's my authority.

No!

Oh, that!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, man, oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man, oh, man!

There he goes.

He's gone too far.

No way out.

He's got to kill all of you.

Oh, man.

Stay in the woods and off the trails. They've got men posted everywhere.

Right. When you get to the canyon, stay on the west side in the shadows. You understand?

If you get through.

Telegraph the U.S. Marshal in Carson City. You tell him what happened here, okay?

Good luck, friends, till we're counting on you.

Thanks. I want to meet you.

Hey! The kids go!

Don't let them!

Let them go!

So Riggle's skin is full of. He gets away.

Let's get him!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

How are you doing?

They were shooting at him from here.

Where'd they go?

Down there towards the river.

It can't be far behind him.

We're not.

There's one.

It's pretty nifty.

How'd you do that?

Practice.

Years of diligent practice.

Help me off with this boot.

Sure.

My wife needed these socks for me.

I had to talk like a Dutch uncle to get her to leave the holes for the toes.

She didn't understand the principles of ventilation.

Yeah.

Oh, that feels good.

I don't know why.

It's in use to feel that good.

Just because I'm older, huh?

It's not a Josh.

You cold?

No. No, I'm fine.

Really, I'm just hungry as all get out.

Oh, well, here.

In the bag, help yourself.

Something wrong?

What is it?

It's running vittles.

Bacon pot of home, bacon, beans.

The old days we'd cook up a batch any chance we could.

And if the last four days.

That way, if you were on the run and you could light a fire,

you'd have something to put your belly.

You eat this.

Sure.

It gets colder, soggy or stale.

But if it ain't gone too ripe, it'll keep a man going.

Ain't much of a life going out wide.

Oh, it ain't too bad.

If you're young, you know, my neatness and dust.

Or a fry in the sun.

Riding for days with soaking clothes.

When you're riding in the rain.

Or sleeping on the cold or far ground under a wet blanket.

Or if it gets sick.

Pneumonia.

Worse.

Truthache.

Truthaches are the killers.

That's the worst.

But if you can put up with that, it ain't a bad life.

It best get moving Josh.

Them pinkin' and boys ain't too far away.

Well, how you know that?

I can hear him.

I can't hear a thing.

We make a damn poor outlaw.

Let's go.

Here.

Put this on.

How far is that one, Jack?

A couple of basins about four or five months.

We've got two of us.

This horse won't last too long.

It's gonna mean both of them leave a rest.

We'll hold up there for a while.

Looks like we lost him.

They're out there.

Come on.

We got him now.

Yeah.

You two stay here and keep an eye on him.

I'll ride and tell Serengo.

I got a better idea.

Serengo ain't gonna lie.

I'm gonna get a better idea.

Serengo ain't gonna lie.

Why not?

We get the job done.

Yeah.

Get the hell down.

Get the hell down!

How do you know they're dead?

A cabin was blown all the hell, Mr. Serengo.

Nobody could have got out of there.

Right fellas?

That's right, Mr. Serengo.

He's dead all right.

Hell man, that cart right boy.

And this here is his horse, Mr. Serengo.

Ha ha ha ha.

Well, you're wrong.

Frank James is not dead.

He's alive and I could feel it and we're going to fight.

Right now.

You all right?

You hear him?

I don't know anything except those birds.

Horses.

Yeah, I know.

What do we do?

I cannot run them.

Come on.

There's the boy you're looking for.

It sure is.

Good to see you, Josh.

I'd like to be here, Frank.

You found him under a rock.

I wasn't under a rock, I was behind it.

To me like you were under it?

Dad burn it.

Have you ever considered there's a strong possibility there's something really wrong with you two?

Ooh, us?

Not us.

He's a bad.

Ha ha ha.

You all right, Brock?

I am now.

Thank you.

At least we could do.

Should have seen it, Josh.

Blood all over the place.

Everywhere.

And then Jacob, he reached in and took this big old knife right out.

It was red hot right out of the fire.

Yeah, and then he took it and he placed it right on his skin and you could hear it smoldering on his skin.

Mmm.

Made me sick.

Make you sick.

It was horrible.

And it noise.

All it noise.

It noise that Frank made.

It was like, it was like.

No, no, no, it was like.

Oh, man, that's it.

Oh, man.

Well, I'm just glad he's all right.

Hmm?

Go check.

The US marshals on his way with the posse from Carson City.

They'll be here before noon.

We're to wait here for them.

When were they to make the exchange? Frank James for Josh?

Noon, why?

They won't do it. They'll fight.

Any I need your horse is faster than mine. Take it.

What do you think you're going?

Joining them?

A gunfight's no place for a lady.

Fuck shot they're my family.

Wait.

You ain't going alone.

Sarah?

Tell them I'll have dinner ready.

Five o'clock sharp.

They're here.

Fuck.

Rock Evans.

You hear me?

Yeah, Serenga, I hear you.

It's a trick, Frank.

You're trying flank us.

Yeah, I can see that.

Bitch.

You're surrounded, Brock.

Give us Frank James and we'll let you and your people right out of here live.

You want Frank James, Serengo? You come and get him.

Brock.

Right out of here.

You'll follow me.

Don't even think about it.

Send them off, Brock, or I'll drag your whole bunch out like they were rabbits.

I'm waiting for my answer.

You heard it.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

I'm glad to see you.

Serenga, what are you doing?

I'm your cut, Ray.

What are we waiting for?

Patience, Mr. Ketchy.

We'll allow them to spend their ammunition when Luke and the rest of the boys go back.

We'll finish it.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Use your hat.

What's my favorite hat?

You know how long I've had that hat?

I didn't have to have you bought last year in Virginia City.

No, before Virginia City.

How about this in New York?

I love this hat.

Wrong. You think they're rushes?

I don't know.

They should have come at us, but now...

Must be waiting for something.

What?

Can't have gotten to that.

It's what a new auto-roader means.

You can say that again.

Very mean.

Dad, burn it.

I ain't hit it, dude, I ain't done yet.

That's cause you're nearsighted.

I ain't nearsighted, it's his gun, don't shoot straight.

Josh, you can't see past the nose on your face and you know it.

Where those glasses of Sarah bought you?

Here in my pocket.

Put him on.

Nope.

He's just too vain to wear him, is all.

Hey, look like an old school teacher.

Put him on, Josh.

Nope.

Dang.

You don't put him on, you can't see the shoot.

And if you can't see the shoot, we're dead.

There you two happy now.

Ha!

He's right, you know.

Looks like an old school teacher.

Didn't you see?

Like an eagle.

Oh, oh, amazing.

That old boy's trying to get on my damn nerves.

Yep.

Where's Luke and the rest of our boys?

Shouldn't they be here by now?

Yes.

Yes.

It's all the rifle ammo we got left.

Yep.

Come on, get him.

You all right?

You all right?

Yes.

You all right Jacob?

Yeah, Bronk.

Right there.

I'm going to stop the waiting for a while.

Thanks.

I don't have any more cartridges left to you.

No.

What do we do?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

One of them just rode in fast.

The rest of them won't be far behind.

US Marshals got cheap detention feet, Morgan.

Out of our Chicago office with him, Mr. Sarengo.

They're fixing to come up here and arrest you.

The rest of the boys, they all laid out.

Anybody got any ideas?

Well, we had some rocks.

We could stone them to death.

Stonem?

Hell.

Handful of buckshot's biscuits could do more damage.

You're thinking what I'm thinking?

I'm in the rounds you got, Bronk.

I got two.

I got five.

Let's do it.

Sarengo!

What do you want, Mr. Evans?

You want some make out his wheel?

Shut up.

Hold your fire.

We're coming out.

What's going on?

I got to see you.

Bronk, I'll take this to me, and you're calling me out.

This ain't verified, Sarengo.

It's ours.

How's that arthritis, Frank?

I understand that it's a painful disease,

and that sometimes you can hardly bend your finger.

Is that true?

Let's find out.

What are we waiting for?

Yeah, I'll second that. You stay out of this.

You killed my wife, Sarengo.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that.

You died from She can MAT While I'd done it.

Why are we waiting for these fuck someone?

No, no.

You waited a long time for this, Brock.

Get it over with me.

Don't do it, Brock.

He ain't worth it.

You'll listen to him, Brock.

He's right.

He ain't worth it.

Listen.

Mr. Sorengo, I'm Captain TJ Foxx, US Marshal.

Of course you know, Detective Morgan here.

Charlie, the agency warns you about doing this.

You and your men are under arrest.

We'll treat your wounds and escort you back to Virginia City.

This incident was Mr. Sorengo's personal vendetta.

You have my apologies, gentlemen.

You understood?

Thank you.

Frank James?

You just keep looking over your shoulder.

One of these days I'll be there.

Don't wait too long.

Brock, you had me worth it.

Don't you gonna kill him?

Yeah, I thought I would too.

Why didn't you?

I got better things to do.

Brock, my father spent his life running away from the Ponderosa.

I never had a real home or a family.

Until all this happened, I didn't realize how much this place

meant to me.

Being here, being a part of this family.

Did you say that to Annie?

Yeah.

She, um, she wants us to live in Paris.

But she said, by it when we leave the Ponderosa, she would give up everything and stay here

with me.

She loves you, son.

I love her.

I don't know what to do.

You know, do what your heart tells you to do, son.

You know love is a strange, wonderful thing.

I had a wife a very long time ago.

And her love was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

As long as I live, I'll never forget her.

She taught me the greatest thing anyone could ever learn in life, AC.

She said, when you're in love, I mean when you're really in love, you'll do anything.

You'll sacrifice anything for their happiness.

Oh, there's a few rough spots along the way, but not very many.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'll be here.

I'll wait for you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

So you got yourself shot again, Frank?

I did.

I'm sure he did.

Bill's character.

No.

Fuck shot.

That hurts.

Mr. James, we didn't get much of a chance to talk.

You might not know this, but I'm a newspaper man.

So you're looking for a yarn to tell your newspaper readers, Mr. Fester?

Yes, sir.

Well, truth be known as not much to talk about.

Well, no need to be modest, Mr. James.

Have you come to town tomorrow?

I am.

I am.

I'm going to see the doc.

Have these bandages changed?

Well, after you've seen them, perhaps we could talk.

Sure thing.

I'll buy you a sasperla.

Maybe too.

I'd appreciate that.

Not gentlemen.

You're nice.

Sasperla?

You're losing it, Frank.

Look, shit.

Have mercy, will you, please?

Have mercy, will you, please?

Come again!

The race, not you!

I'm on my way, Bookshot.

You know, the Bronx here, without any ceremony, Josh.

The family thought you had to have this.

To replace the one you lost.

You don't want to try it on, see if it fits?

Yeah, for sure.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

Oh, very stylish.

Very nice.

Thank you, everyone.

You're at the dinner table, son.

Oh, yes, sir.

It's nice to have the family back together again, isn't it?

Right.

Oh, yes.

Pain is a curse.

Dad, burn it.
