Elizabeth. Where's Elizabeth?

John!

Let me off!
I'm gonna fall!

I'm gonna fall.

Most of our memories of growing
up on Walton's Mountain

are good ones, but
there did come a time

when a dark remembrance
from Elizabeth's childhood

rose to haunt everybody
in our house.

Please, someone, let me down!

Come on, somebody, let me down!

I'm gonna fall!

Somebody, let me off!

Somebody! Somebody,
let me get off!

Mama!

Oh, Elizabeth!

Who is it? Elizabeth.
Is she alright?

She scared me to death!

-Are you okay?
-It's alright. It's alright.

It's alright.
Are you alright?

What's going on up there?

Pa, it's Elizabeth.
She's had a dream.

Sounded like Gabriel
blowing his trumpet.

It's the second time
this week.

Something's working
on that child.

Come on, now.
She's alright.

-Gently.
-Come on. Stand up.

-Let me down.
-Are you alright? Does it hurt?

It's alright, baby.
Come on.

Come on, back to bed,
everybody. Come on.

It's alright, baby.
It's alright.

I couldn't get off.

Dreaming about
that Ferris wheel again.

And then it started
going faster.

And I started to fall.

Well, you're safe now.

It's alright.

Can you leave the lights on?

I'm gonna stay right here
with you till you're asleep.

You don't have
to do that, Mama.

Elizabeth, you can
sleep with me if you want.

Thanks, Erin.

Here you go.

I'm gonna sit here for a while.

It's alright.

Sure?

Yeah.

I'm gonna leave
that light on, alright?

Oh, it's alright,
sweetheart.

Alright?

-Goodnight, Erin.
-Goodnight, Mama.

I'm gonna leave
the door wide open

and I'm gonna leave
the hall light on, okay?

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

It's the same dream
she had last time

about being on a Ferris wheel
and not being able to get off.

It's probably the excitement
about the carnival.

Could be. It's hard to tell

what a dream like that
could mean.

It's that sleep walking
that worries me.

Well, is she
settled down now?

She's in Erin's bed.
I think she'll sleep through.

Goodnight, Son. We'll leave
the door open just in case.

Alright.

Goodnight, Mama.

Somebody! Somebody,
let me down!

-Is my lunch ready yet?
-No. Neither is Jason's.

You might as well
have something to eat.

I once had a dream
that a Martian came out

from under the Rockfish bridge?

He had big hairy ears and
yellow eyes, like a dragonfly.

Is your dream
as scary as that?

Jim-Bob, if you talk
about dreams

you can walk to school
by yourself.

I don't know what
she's so grouchy about.

I don't think we should
keep reminding her

of something
she'd rather forget.

Well, unless that dream
has some meaning for her.

I'd a whole lot rather
we didn't talk about it.

Well, she has no control of it.

It comes from her
unconscious mind.

John-Boy, what are you
talking about?

There's two kinds
of mind, Mama.

There's the unconscious mind
and the conscious mind.

Now, the unconscious mind
is always storing up things

we're not aware of.

Things that we, we'd like to
forget or we'd like to hide

and a dream can be
a sort of

a code message from
the unconscious mind.

Oh.

Nice tie, Ben.

It's yours, you know.

Yeah, I know it's mine.

-Looks good, doesn't it?
-Yeah, looks pretty good.

-I can use it, can't I?
-Well, of course you can.

Hey, wait a minute.

How come you're all gussied up?

I'm going to
the Jarvis Used Car Lot

to take care of some ads
after school today.

Seems to me that ever since
Darlene Jarvis went to work

for her daddy, you've been
giving them extra-good service.

I give good service
to all my customers.

Would you reach me down
that jar of peanut butter.

Sure.

Good morning.

About time, Jason.

I'd have been ready sooner

if Ben hadn't decided
to shave this morning.

Shave this morning?

Yeah, you ought to smell
his shaving lotion.

You can smell it
from here to Rockfish.

Thanks, Jason.

I won't be home
for supper.

I have to play at
the Dew Drop Inn.

Got anything I can eat in the
car on the way to school?

You can take some
toast with you.

Elizabeth! Elizabeth!

Hey.

I know. You're here
about the ad.

That's right.

Saved a space on page three.

Think your daddy will go
for two columns?

I think he will.

Good.

Here's the prices.

That's a good price
on that Model A.

You should lead off
with that.

But the LaSalle's
got more style.

It's practically brand new
and it goes 75 miles an hour.

Yeah, I realize that

but people these days would
rather go for the bargain.

Oh. Well, you know
more about it.

You do what you think best.

Okay.

I got a job in Charlottesville.

I heard the carnival was coming.

I persuaded the carnival owner
to let The Chronicle office

handle all his
advance publicity.

I was wondering if you'd just
leave these handbills around

so your customers can
get the message.

Oh. Always an eye
for business, huh?

You got to when
you're getting started.

I suppose you'll be
going to the carnival?

Oh, I hadn't really
thought about it.

I got a couple of
free passes from the manager.

Hi, shorty!

Are you going to send us
some more customers this week?

Darlene, get me
the specifications on that

Studebaker coupe, will you?

Sure.

See you later.

Oh, bye.

-What's that stuff?
-It's my invention.

You invented the trash dump?

Well, it's not put together yet.

It's going to be an alarm.

What kind of an alarm?

It's gonna wake up Elizabeth
if she walks in her sleep again.

Jim-Bob, you and your
Rube Goldberg contraptions!

You just wait and see.
It'll work.

What are you staring at?

Oh, I was just noticing.

You look sort of like a turtle.

Oh, don't do that.

Oh, the bed broke.
Jim-Bob, the bed.

It worked! Hey, everybody,
it worked!

Was this your idea, Jim-Bob?

Elizabeth. Where's Elizabeth?

Jim-Bob, do you mind taking
this junk out in two trips?

Oh, I thought about it,
but I decided against it.

What is all the racket?

Elizabeth on the prowl again?

No, that was James-Robert Edison

taking out one of
his great inventions.

Oh.

Your grandma and I
kind of over-slept this morning.

Been too much night life
going on around here.

Grandpa, you sure
these marks are right?

Oh. Your growing-up
marks there?

You questioning this old
carpenter's ability

with a yardstick?

No. Just seems like
everybody's growing around here

except for me.

I wouldn't say that.

Here, you were down there
one day. You're way down here.

From the time of
your young un's first birthdays,

I would put a mark down there.

There you are, 1929.

I guarantee those heights are
right within 16th of an inch.

In that case, I've got
a lot of catching up to do.

Oh, you'll get there one day.

Yeah, but that doesn't
help me much now.

Oh. If you think you're bad off,

just think about
Long John Cavanaugh.

He was so tall that
his feet stuck out over

the edge of the bed,
out under the covers.

He got cold, pneumonia,
did him in.

And that poor fellow
was so tall,

they had to bury him in
a well standing up

'cause no
coffin would fit him.

Don't you fret, Son.

A short man who thinks tall
stands taller in the saddle

than a tall man
who thinks short.

Esther, breakfast.

I don't like to discourage good
customers from making purchases

but do you really think
you need all of these locks?

We're having them installed

on all our outside
doors immediately.

You see, that carnival
will be here this weekend.

Well, Mr. Dawes assures me

that all of his employees
are absolutely reliable.

Well, that's what they led us
to believe

the last time
the carnival was here

and our very own home
was broken into.

And Mama's diamond necklace
and matching tiara

were mysteriously removed.

Never to be seen again.

And Papa had presented them
to Mama on their wedding day.

I had planned to wear them

whenever Ashley Longworth
made a proposal of marriage.

He was a young student,
don't you know

from the University of Virginia
and he used to...

Are you absolutely certain
that it was

an employee of the carnival
who broke into your house?

-Oh, quite.
-Certain.

Why, the sheriff was
about to question one of

the carnival workers, and
then the poor man lost his life

in some unfortunate accident.

But this time we are going
to make certain that

all our treasures are under
lock and key.

Including ourselves.

Oh, most assuredly.

Alright.
Thank you, Mr. Godsey.

-You're welcome.
-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, John-Boy.
-Goodbye.

Bye, ladies.

John-Boy says the Baldwin
sisters have locked up

everything in sight and are
not coming out of the house

till that carnival goes away.

I'll never forget the day
the Baldwin ladies were robbed.

Oh, what a dad-doo.

I remember it, too,
but for a different reason.

That was the day
Elizabeth wandered off,

and was gone all morning.

We found her down by the river.

Never could tell us
just what happened.

Elizabeth

do you remember when the
carnival was here the last time?

Some. I was real little.

Yeah, I know.

I remember you got lost
one morning.

Did you go to the carnival
that day?

I don't know.

Daddy says I went to the river.

Well, I know what Daddy said.

I was just wondering
if you knew what happened.

I don't know.

I don't want to think about it.

It just seems
kinda strange to me

that you could end up down by
the river all by yourself.

I don't know!

Did you go to the carnival
first that day or what?

John-Boy, Elizabeth,
come to supper.

John-Boy, I don't want to
talk about it anymore.

Talk about what?

I was just asking her
what she remembered about

the last time
the carnival was here.

I didn't mean
to upset you, honey.

From now on, I think the less we
talk about it, the better.

Is The March of Time on tonight?

No. Edgar Bergen
and Charlie McCarthy.

Would you look at this?

Smack dab in the middle
of my article on Dizzy Dean.

Who'd do something like this?

Hey, it's looking good.

Yeah. Thought I'd put
another coat on

and let it dry overnight.

Good. Good idea.

Here's that article of yours
that you were looking for.

Old Dizz.

He can pitch words better
than he can baseballs.

He sure can.

I was thinking
about getting those.

Elevator shoes?

"Now you can be taller
than she is"?

Well, it sounds funnier
than it is, but I'm just...

I'm just plain tired
of being called shorty.

Waiting for myself to grow.

Aren't you getting ahead
of yourself, Son?

Yeah, I know. I'm just
a growing boy.

It takes some people longer than
others to get their full growth.

Yeah, but what do
I do in the meantime?

Just be yourself.

Think about what's
going on inside.

Yeah, but it's the outside
that everyone sees.

John! Elizabeth's out
of her bed!

She's not upstairs!

-We'll find her.
-Is it Elizabeth?

Yes! Now, Liv, check
the kitchen.

Elizabeth!

-What's all the racket for?
-It's Elizabeth again.

Oh, gracious!

The front door is open!

Esther, she's gone again.

I can see him.

John!

Somebody, help me!

Get below her, John-Boy!

Let me off!

I'm gonna fall. Let me off.

I can see him.
He won't let me off.

Let me off!

I'm gonna fall!
I'm gonna fall!

Help me!

It's alright, baby.
It's alright.

It's alright.

A fine state of affairs, you
having to make your own coffee.

I was hoping you
could sleep late.

I couldn't. Every time
Elizabeth stirred next to me

I'd wake up.

I guess that old sofa isn't
too comfortable for sleeping on.

Little lumpy in spots.

How's Elizabeth?
Any more bad dreams?

No, she didn't have
any more bad dreams

but she sure was restless.

I can't figure how
she got up in that tree.

Well, sleepwalkers have been
known to do some amazing things.

Rearrange the furniture
or climbing around on rooftops.

What are we going to do? She
can't stay in our bed forever.

I wonder why she's
walking in her sleep.

It's gotta be something
she's afraid of

and she doesn't
know what it is.

And last night up in the tree
house she kept saying

"I see him. I see him."

I'd like to find out
who he is.

John-Boy, I don't want you
to go upsetting her again.

I think she went to the carnival
that morning that she got lost.

I gotta do something to keep her
from breaking her neck.

There's no swelling, no fever.

Heart is fine, chest clear.

She's a healthy little girl.
Too healthy not to be in school.

It wasn't my idea.

And Mrs. Fordwick
was having a nature walk today.

We wanted Curt to have
a look at you.

I am still your favorite
brother-in-law, I hope.

Not when you have that doctor
thing around your neck.

Count your blessings,
Elizabeth.

The only time I ever got
to stay home from school

I was too sick to enjoy it.

-Can I get down now?
-Sure.

Mary Ellen, can you show me
how to make a splint?

Sure. You can practice
on Reckless.

I can't find any
physical reasons

that would explain
her nightmares

but I sure wouldn't worry
about her health.

You would if you'd
seen her teetering

on the edge of
that tree house.

Well, there may be another cause
for the sleepwalking.

Perhaps something worrying her?

School work, a friend,
something like that?

Well, it's nothing
that I know of.

Some sort of
a frightening memory?

Well, John-Boy keeps talking
about something

that's hidden in the back
of her mind

that's trying
to find its way out.

Yeah. He could be right.
He could be right.

You see, we're learning
more about

the way the mind works
all the time.

The only trouble is, every time
he tries to help her find out

she gets all upset.

Oh, it's tricky business,
probing the unconscious.

Better left to the experts.

Is there something
we should be doing?

Well, I think the main thing
is just to watch her carefully.

And if the dreams don't go away
by themselves, well, then

I reckon we might be able
to find some help for her

over in Richmond.

Psychiatrist, psychologist.

Psychiatrist?

-Hi, Ben.
-Well, hey!

I talked to your daddy
about the ads.

Oh, good. He was asking
about it.

Yeah. He made a few suggestions,

but he seemed
to like most of it.

I passed out those carnival
handbills like you asked.

A lot of folks here
are planning to go.

Well, I hope they mention
who they heard it from.

Always have your mind on
business, haven't you?

Well, not always.

I was thinking
we could go

to the carnival together
on Saturday.

Gee, Ben, I'd really like to,
but I think I have to work.

Can I let you know later?

Sure.

Call me Friday!

What do you say, shorty?

Hey, do me a favor.

The name's Ben, use it.

Hey, Jim-Bob?

You seen Wilbur Dawes?

-Sure. I'm working for him.
-You're working for him.

Where do you think I might
be able to find him?

-Over by the truck.
-Okay.

Well, looks like you gonna
be opening on schedule.

We're gonna try.

You know it's a nice job
you did on the handbills.

Thank you very much.

I hope it brings you
some business.

Yeah, I hope so.

It's been a while
since you've been

through this way,
ain't it?

We had some trouble
here the last time.

Figured there might be
some hard feelings.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Lost a man right over there.

-Oh, yeah, I remember that.
-Yeah.

Ferris wheel operator.

You know, that newspaper
of yours could...

Mr. Dawes, excuse me.
Just a minute.

Yeah, sure.

Elizabeth.

I thought you were afraid
of these things.

I could see it
on my way home from school.

-It's bigger than our barn.
-Bigger than the barn. Yeah.

It's about 10 times
bigger than you are.

You know people look real
little from the top.

Elizabeth,

would you be willing to ride
the Ferris wheel with me?

I'll keep my arm around you
and I'll hold you real tight,

and I'll make them stop
the minute you say so.

I can't promise you, but
maybe if you ride it,

it'll make your dreams go away.

Alright.

Good.

Good.

You alright, honey?

-Could we have a ride?
-Sure, Walton.

Thank you.

Now we're in tight
and I got you, okay?

You nervous?
Do you wanna stop?

I'll make him stop
if you want to stop.

John-Boy, I remember!

You remember?

What do you remember, Elizabeth?

I went to the carnival
and it was where it started.

And I gave the man a dime to
start the Ferris wheel for me.

And then what?

And I was in it and he left.

He left?

He left you alone on
the Ferris wheel?

It's alright, honey,
I've got you. It's okay.

He just left her there, going
round and round all by herself?

No wonder she had nightmares.

He must have gone off to do
some other kind of work.

Anyway, when she couldn't see
him, she got scared.

There was no one to let her off,
just like in her dream.

How did she get off?

I imagine she jumped off when it
got close to the ground.

Then she ran away.

She was so scared she didn't
know where she was going.

That's how she ended up
down by the river.

I Hope that's all
there is to it.

It seems to fit.

I have a feeling she was guilty
about going to the carnival.

And unconsciously
been trying to hide it.

I don't think she'll have
the dream again.

Well, all the same we oughta
lock the doors and put the keys

out of reach the way
your daddy said.

Want me to put these plates
up for you?

Well, no, thanks, Ben,
I can do it.

Can I give you a hand, Mama?

No. But your daddy's fixing the
lock on the front door.

You might wanna
give him a hand.

Ma'am.

What's wrong with him?

You got that lock
working yet, Daddy?

It was a little rusty
from not being used.

I'm gonna put this key
in that nail

so Elizabeth can't reach it.

It's a good idea.

You and John-Boy
working tonight?

Oh, John-Boy has his own key.

Come in.

You getting ready for bed?

When somebody buys a new pair
of shoes in this family

it's kinda hard to miss.

I guess everyone was
kinda busy tonight.

Those shoes brought
two inches up in my height

and no one even noticed.

You may not believe this,
but I've been...

I've been watching the way
people look at you, Son.

When they look at you they don't
see someone tall or short

fat or thin.

They see a steady,
hardworking young fellow.

Good sense of fun.

Knows how to frown
once in a while.

They see a big man
in lots of ways.

Yeah, but not big
in the way I want to be.

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

Me

I always wanted to have
red hair and be good-looking.

Listen, Ben

when people look at you,
all they see is the outside.

It's them that come
up short, not you.

So you think I should take
the shoes back, don't you?

It's your money, Son.

-Elizabeth alright?
-She's fine.

Guess John-Boy was right.

I don't know.

I never heard of
anybody being cured

of a nightmare by going for a
ride on a Ferris wheel.

I feel safer knowing
the doors are locked.

You try to get some sleep.
I'll go check in an hour or so.

Thanks.

Goodnight.

John-Boy, whose idea was it
to build the circulation?

-For the newspaper?
-Yes.

I'm almost halfway through.

Well, that's good to hear.

Ben, you must be tired.

Why don't you go to bed?
I'm almost finished.

It's okay, I'm getting
my second wind.

I'll just stay here
till we're through.

Somebody...

Somebody, let me off!

Well, we sure earned
our money tonight.

Yeah, just don't
ask me how much.

I'll figure it
out tomorrow.

What do you mean "tomorrow"?
It's past midnight already.

Time sure flies
when you're having fun, huh?

I'll tell you something though,
it sure beats cutting timber.

I'll lock the door.

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

Erin!

-Erin!
-What?

Is Elizabeth in
with Mama again?

I don't know.

-Ben, check the bathroom.
-I just was in there.

John-Boy?

-Mama, is Elizabeth in there?
-No.

-She's not in my room.
-She's not in my room, either.

We should have
kept her in our bed.

How about the front door
you and Ben came in?

We locked it.

-It's still locked tight, Daddy.
-I'll check the back porch.

Daddy, the window
in our room is open.

It was closed when
we went to bed.

It was. I checked.

She could have gone out the
window and down the trellis.

Daddy. We've done it,
a hundred times.

She could have gone
to the carnival.

Get down there
and check.

Get some lanterns.

I just can't believe
she'd gone this far.

Sleepwalkers do some
pretty unbelievable things.

I read about a man who got up in
the night, walked outta house

went all the way down
to the railroad station.

When he woke up,
he was buying a ticket.

Couldn't figure out
how he got there.

I'll start the motor
and get her down.

No, no, don't start the motor.
She'll wake up. She could fall.

Somebody's gotta go up.

I'll get the line
out of my car.

If I tie one end around my
waist, you can ankle me up.

Look, hold on to
the end of this.

You stay down here
and talk to her.

Ben. Ben, will you
let me go, please?

Elizabeth?

Elizabeth, it's John-Boy.
Can you hear me?

Elizabeth?

I hear you.

Alright, honey, I don't
want you to move.

I want you to stay
right where you are.

Now I want you
to talk to me, alright?

I want you to tell me...
Tell me about that day again.

Tell me, did the man start
the wheel up just for you?

I gave him a dime.

Elizabeth?

What's he doing, Elizabeth?

-Talk to me, alright?
-I can see him now.

But now he's gone.

Elizabeth?

I want you to talk
to me, alright?

What's he doing, Elizabeth?

The sheriff's down there.

Now he's gone.

Somebody, come and let me down!
Please, someone, let me off!

-Please.
-Alright, honey.

-Stay right where you are.
-I want to get down!

Come on, somebody, let me down.

It's gonna be okay.

Please, somebody, let me down.

Alright, Ben

you know if she falls,
I gotta let you go.

-What do you see now, honey?
-It's that man again.

What's he doing, Elizabeth?

Somebody, let me off!

Don't move, Elizabeth.
Don't move, alright?

Just don't move,
just stay right where you are.

You just keep talking to me.

Elizabeth, do you still see him?

What do you see now, honey?

He's over by the rocks.

Tell me what he's doing.

He's hiding something
in the cave.

He's coming back now.

Come on, somebody, let me down!
I'm gonna fall!

-Honey, don't move, alright?
-I'm gonna fall!

Yeah, you just stay
right where you are.

It hit him!

Don't move. Stay right
there, okay?

It hit him! It hit him!
It hit him!

Just don't do anything.
You just stay right there.

It's gonna be alright,
you hear me?

Elizabeth, stay where you are.
Now do not move.

Help me, please!

You just don't move, honey.

If it's down in here,
we're gonna have to...

Boy, is this really a...

Somebody...

I just can't believe

that mother's treasured diamonds
could still be hidden there.

After all these years.

-So near and yet so far.
-I sure hope they are.

It all came together when Ep and
me were talking this morning.

He checked the records.

That carnival worker died
without ever coming to.

Poor little darling,
no wonder she had nightmares.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute,
what have we got here?

Elizabeth, honey, why don't you
take this to the Baldwin ladies?

Go ahead, sweetheart.

Oh, Sister, look.

Just as they were
when dear Mama last wore them.

I'd say the stolen goods
have been identified

and returned to
the rightful owners.

Elizabeth, you must
have a reward.

Something really special.

I think Elizabeth
and the rest of us

have already been rewarded.

Ladies, how about a spin
on the Ferris wheel?

This is what happens
when you marry a doctor.

You come to carnivals with your
brother and his girlfriend.

You could do a lot worse.

Ben was a real hero last night.

No doubt about that.

You folks should be
proud of him.

We always have been.

Mama, come on,
the carnival's starting.

See you in a while.

Ben, you're not wearing
your new shoes this morning.

Guess I just don't
need them anymore.

Never again was Elizabeth
to experience

the terrors brought on
by that frightening memory.

And never again
would I attempt to unravel

the mysteries of
the unconscious mind.

Once more we could enjoy
quiet and peaceful nights

in our house
on Walton's Mountain.

Ben, when you put
your arm around a girl,

are you supposed to ask
her permission or anything?

Of course not.

How about when you kiss her?

It's like offering her
the last piece of candy.

I don't get it.
