Save your lives for somebody else. Are you calling me a liar?

That's a lucky thing you came along when you did might all be dead

Good the idea who was shooting at you?

People been trying to bite upon the rosa. I don't want to let him on ambush in an old-fashioned land war

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's people are shooting at

Bronkin Jacob, maybe so but it's over and done with

too far

We've got to do something like what I'm going back to the Ponderosa and we 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

Dad has been dead almost five years when you're gonna forgive him

I

Need sure does have the old cart ride charm. 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

I

Don't

Are

Hey, Sara.

Fuck's shy.

Welcome home, Miss Sara.

Look at you.

I've lived here a little girl and came back a full grown woman.

Sure good to see you again.

Oh, it's good to see you, bro. I missed you.

Jacob!

Sir.

Oh, AC!

Look at you!

Oh, you're so tall.

He's all grown up.

Oh, I say so.

You're sorry to hear about your mama.

Thanks, bro.

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

She was a fine woman.

It's good to be back.

I really miss this place. You forget how beautiful it is.

I guess you heard about the Brandonburg business.

That's why I came. I'm here to help.

Good. I need all help. I can get.

You're not hoping your brother would be with you.

Bronca wouldn't count on much help from Benj.

Well, you know you're always welcome here.

Thank you, Bronca. I appreciate that.

But 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.

I just couldn't understand why I didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the great Hetam Cartwright.

I don't know.

Guess I want to do things mine way. Be mine man.

Give yourself time, may see. It'll happen.

Well, I better get the bid. See you all tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

I sure am glad you're both here.

You could go abroad.

Don't forget me.

Here you go, Dimir.

Go flip him to the bar.

Say something.

Go go!

Go flute.

uffy Anders.

Whoah!

Help me, Kevin.

Go warn the stupid people.

Lyons Pretty Less

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 horse cart right now.

Horse?

You must be mistaken.

This is the Ponderosa, ain't it?

Yes, sir.

But horse cart right in here.

And where is he?

Horse 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 horse cart right's 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.

Had a store called Largence.

Well, I showed us right.

I was with him when horse gave his necklace to Claire.

He showed it, lover.

That's a lie.

Horse cart 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 got to be married.

He was going to send for.

He never did.

Mama said she waited and waited.

Well, something awful happened.

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

We helped in the shore, but he lost his footing.

I tried to grab him, but the current pulled him under.

After the funeral, the cart right's tried to contact Claire in Kansas City, but she was gone.

Ben Coddright hired, private investigator, search for Claire.

Never quit.

Spent years looking.

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

I'm sorry.

Of course you all enough trouble.

I 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're going to want something else, Josh?

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

No doubt you're a horse cut right, boy.

You never seen anyone could eat like you in 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 going to 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.

Brock is a survey team over in the south metal.

Hello.

Well, just what do you think you're doing here?

I work conducting a geological survey for the Brandenburg mining company.

Well, your own ponderosa land, your trespass.

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.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

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

Brunk just kept blasting away.

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

I see those people were trespassing.

What about their permits?

Brunk says that Brandenburg probably bought off the government officials.

The man wants to destroy the ponderosa.

We got to stick together and fight him.

Sir, time's a changing.

Cinerolite of the ponderosa is 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!

What?

Oh!

Oh!

Wow!

I just couldn't stand being in our boss department all by myself.

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 having fallen off?

I'll get there.

So,

Ben, are you and me going to sneak off and go fishing?

Well, I don't fish anymore.

It's a waste of time.

Oh, come on.

Ben, Jack, how are we cool seeing you without a fishing pole in your hand?

We all grow up?

Change?

Bronk?

Sheriff, he wants to talk to you.

All right, Rutt.

Sorry, Brock.

The survey company filed a complaint.

Got a warrant for your arrest.

Thanks, Coach Mabelle.

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 prices?

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

That survey party had legal permits.

No, maybe you're right.

I'm at Burgon with 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 should have 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 the road.

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 to hurt your butt.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're going to race, Brock.

You're still the best.

You're not too bad, yourself.

Next time, I'm gonna beat you.

It'll be the day.

Jacob, what can you tell me about my power?

Oh, no, no, no.

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

He was something. Big ole.

Big ole. Bad man, maybe.

Yeah, yeah, he was even bigger than you are.

And he had a hard to match.

Never seen a man who laughed so much.

I mean, horse convinced a chuckling.

One thing you could do just laugh along with him.

People like him, huh?

Oh.

Tell you, your dad just naturally cared about folks.

First day I came here.

Treating me just like, just like any other ranch hand.

Always fan 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.

Oh, God, they decided they were going to raise rabbits to make fur coats.

Rabbits, rabbits, fur coats.

They played his own barn, the whole bunkhouse is crawling with them buddies.

But you see, the problem was when it came time to skin them no critters, Hoss couldn't bring himself to kill them no buddies.

I think I have going for the fun of them at that.

Man, I've gotten fun.

Alright, look, I didn't know when I went in parties 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 happened to be mine.

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

Oh, 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 standing in front of Fat Gerby right there behind your head 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 re-consider that little rabbit.

I'm telling you right now.

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

There's a Gerby right behind her, there's my rabbit.

I'll cut you to the ribbins.

I'm going to have... I'm telling you, I'm going to tell you the boo-hongan.

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

One more together, brother horse. I'm going to get in all of these gauges.

Come on, now, let me out of here.

Oh, wait a minute. Let me out of here.

He's just running out of here.

Ooh, what?

Settle down.

Look, let me out of here.

Let's see.

What's the trouble?

Well, he won't let me skin my share of the Gerby's.

Is that true, huh?

Well, yeah, that Bernie Paul, I'm grooming sort of fun of these little fellers.

But the fact remains that they are half his.

That's right.

That Bernie legally, they are half his.

Yeah, then let him have his half.

And, of course, let him out.

Thank you, father.

Yeah, yeah, see what I mean.

Oh, yeah.

Are you share 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.

Yeah, 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,

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.

Oh, 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, Bronc.

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

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

Bronc, 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 bush. 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.

I'll be back.

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 author?

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 don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

We're gonna start right.

How do we know that for sure?

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

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

What about the picture necklace?

Even so.

His mother never married Uncle As.

Come on Ben, she know what that makes him.

Josh.

Josh.

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

Well...

The time you two took a long look at yourselves.

Because you ain't acting much like a family.

Maybe Benj is right. Maybe I am too.

You're a lot of things, Bonk Evans. But you'll never be old.

At Brandenburg, he sure is a smart one.

Went behind my back and got Benj on his side.

You're right, Brock. 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 going to do that.

Josh, I want to apologize.

No need for that.

You got to believe me. I didn't mean it. I was so frustrated with Benj.

Don't feel bad, sir. You were right. My momma never did Mary Haas.

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.

It's yours, don't you want to read it?

I'm not going 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 going to be a part of you.

Thanks for bringing me here. I know what I gotta do now.

Where's your pub, Eric?

Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C.

Daddy fought with the Rough Riders in Cuba. He was killed on the charge of San Juan Hill.

Okay, Roosevelt.

Your Uncle Joe was a war hero.

That's always buried in washed.

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

I'm a Augustus Brandenburg and you must be Nissarra.

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.

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. Come on 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.

Now you treat me like this?

Sir, I assure you I was completely nowhere to be.

Do we have a deal or don't?

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

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, Bronch.

Benj, I'm sorry.

I thought you went to town with Berkshire and Benj.

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

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, you know, I'm not going to be able to sell the ranch.

But, um...

Well, now that it's still ours, I'd kind of like to stay a while.

But I don't think that's okay with you.

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

Thanks, Bronch.

I've done so much for you, Burrito.

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

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

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

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

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

Yes, you do.

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

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

Don't lie to me.

Believe me, I would never...

Oh!

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

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.

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

You can trust me.

You can trust me.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

What do you got?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

You're not coming over here.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

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 Bronch one.

You saved the ponderosa, so do me a favor.

Leave me alone.

You're a darling.

Talk to me.

Go.

Go.

Where's the arch?

Let's go.

Stop it.

Just stop.

Please, help me.

Get into a bitch!

Get into a bitch!

Are you alright?

I'm fine! How about you?

Couldn't be better.

Whoa!

Mark's sure.

You can tell me.

Keep it down. I don't want to wake up wrong.

Too late.

I'm already up.

You boys been fighting?

They were protecting me from Brandenburg's men.

Ben's, I'm surprised at you.

Taking the law into your own hands like that.

Bronco really won 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 the 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.

Not to let him go.

He's got to make up his own mind.

So how was the fight?

What fight?

I know what you did.

You stay away from Sarah Cartwright.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

I promise.

It won't happen again.

You're damn right.

It won't happen.

Any of you even touches her.

And I'll kill her.

Now get out.

I guess he's not coming.

I'm afraid not.

Well, let's move him out.

Come on.

Hey, wait for me.

You know I never got a chance to thank you

for asking me to ask you 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 I was saving one of the Sloom girls.

You're awful.

Oh, my God, sir.

Come on.

Get out of here.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no.

Come on.

No!

No!

Damn!

I'm going to fawn those bastards.

Before we go accusing anybody,

we're going to have to have some proof.

Oh, come on, Bronco.

You know damn well Brandon Berg's behind it.

How is she, doll?

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.

Sarah.

You gotta wake up.

You hear me?

You gotta wake up, please.

You're right about Brandon Berg all along.

I'm sorry, Bronco.

I never should have questioned your judgment.

Hey.

It looks like that bump on your head,

right on your head.

I'm sorry, Bronco.

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 eagle.

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

Oh, that's it!

It's just a guy up of me!

Peko!

Peko!

Get him out of here!

We go right, sir.

Yes, I'm all right.

Just get him out of here and take care of him.

Yes.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Get your hands out where we can see them.

AC, get their guns.

What's your problem, Evans?

I don't have a problem.

Young card right here was trespassing,

I had to have them thrown in jail.

I wouldn't do that if I was you.

Oh, why not?

The cards, 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, Aargh!

Yeah, well, it really wasn't thinking about that at the time, Bexha.

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

Hey, come up here.

Hurry!

Good morning.

It's your...

Good to have you back, cousin.

Could you be back?

Oh, girl, you show ahead, us worried.

Bruh, I heard all about the accident.

Is Sarah all right?

Oh, sure, she's all right.

But it wasn't no accident.

Oh, I knew it.

Brandenburg's 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.

Bronca, I know what you're thinking.

Sometimes things aren't the way they seem.

I 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.

Bronca, 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.

Hey, come in here.

You gotta see what I found.

Just look at all this stuff.

Almost drapes.

Look at this.

Look at this.

I'm sorry.

That was your father's.

Lord, my daddy had the largest head.

Look what I found.

It's your father's diary.

I'd like you just to read that.

Not really.

Knowing my father this thing's probably full of useful and exciting information like what he had for 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.

I wanna get you.

That's a good win of Adam.

I wanna get you.

I never got a chance to know my Pa.

I understand what you're feeling, Josh.

Ben's and I were separated from our father too.

We knew him, but not very well.

Sarah, when 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 it.

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

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 as night and day.

Sure would like to get to know him, though.

He's just gonna talk to him.

I've tried.

Write him a letter.

I wouldn't know what to say.

I'm gonna read this.

Maybe I'll give you some ideas.

Now, just a minute.

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

Yes, we are.

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

This 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 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.

Stop it!

Stop it!

You're finding my children now. Stop!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

What in the world are you doing?

We're cleaning the barn.

Like you are a tourist.

Oh, well, uh...

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.

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

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

I want you to know that you're going to come here.

I want you to know that you're going to come 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 current rates can do to stop it?

My law will be forced to sell.

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

the Ponderosa.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

The Ponderosa is the first to come here.

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.

No.

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.

I'm not going to be 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 confidence.

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 entitled to the Ponderosa ranch.

Effective immediately.

Grandpa used to always tell me.

Things start getting crazy.

Go fishing.

Care to join me?

Well, I thought you'd never ask.

Prom restore your process.

You won't want to live it.

You are mythical.

Are you afraid of harvesting those forest equanimated, has it?

Well, again, the refusegan Renderer.

Since 1972, your AD psychshIELD, you are known in terms of the unseen...

Your touchdown.

No way.

someday.

I'm tired of talking to you.

I'm going to give up on you.

I said I'm tired of talking.

What are we going to do?

What are the card rights always doing?

We're going to make a big one of these things.

Stick it down to the halloween.

Tell him.

Tell him.

You'll know it's there when he sees it tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I said tomorrow.

Adam, I heard you and Mr. D.

D. Sandman talking.

The timbers are big.

They got to be milled and cut.

How are you going to do all that by tomorrow?

We on 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.

Yeah.

You're right.

I'm writing a letter to my father.

Good my best there, will you?

Yeah, I will.

Sure.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

What are you doing?

I'm going to book set.

Law book.

Hey, man.

You have to read all the unbooks here?

Buckshot, 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!

Don't!

Damn, Cartwright's.

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.

Judge is going to 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 you pay to the government officials.

Your Honor, I object.

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.

Then may I suggest that you produce this witness, Mr. Cartwright.

Yes, sir.

Planis calls Abigail Stimmons to the stand.

Yes.

Raise your right hand.

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

so help you God.

I do.

So Mr. Brandenburg gave money to Senator Hayes.

Objection, Your Honor, leading the witness.

Stisting.

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 allow the witness to answer, I believe she can clarify

that the money was indeed a bribe.

Overrode.

Sit down, Mr. McAdam.

Please answer the question, Mr. Stimmons.

Well, I saw Brandenburg give the money to the Senator.

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. McAdam, 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.

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, my debut top ball.

Even Mama's obituary.

Do you remember this?

Gus Branden.

Gus Branden.

Gus Branden.

Gus Branden.

Who's that?

That's Brandenburg.

I thought I'd met him before.

About 20 years ago, Gus Branden 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.

Branden was quite taken to the Vanderbilt.

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

What kind of trouble?

Branden, when I was little Joe with a gun, your grandpa,

was supposed to shoot him in the leg.

Branden pressed charges, but the judge said Benjot and self-defense.

I remember right after the trial.

Branden bowed.

He 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.

Mrs. 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?

Oh!

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

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

I have no further questions, your honor.

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,

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

Oh!

Please!

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.

Thanks, Brock.

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 Loreto?

Why is she something on that witness stand?

Well, look, Judge, you'd think she is something wherever she was.

Yeah, and what's so bad about that?

Method. I feel the same way.

Yeah, I think you'll do.

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

Oh, now, man.

No, no, no.

Hey, Josh, where's that scrapbook?

I want to show it to Loreto.

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

Sarah, what a pleasant surprise.

You've come for your scrapbook.

Listen, 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.

Yes.

We'll talk.

It's a mother time.

You don't believe me.

Let me go.

Listen to me, dammit.

I love that woman.

And she loves me.

Sarah.

Sarah.

We belong together.

We belong together.

We belong together.

Aaah.

Where is it?

iren.

iren

Dean.

ities?

Mel.

Jake, help me.

We're having fun.

We're having fun.

Hi, my friend, you're back.

I'm Sam.

I tried to stop you.

Don't you worry about it. We'll get her back.

Come on, get her by the side.

All right, I'm tired.

Come on, get her.

Come on, get her.

Come on, get her.

Come on, get her.

Come on, get her.

Come on, get her.

Come on, get her.

Come on, get her.

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.

Drink your tea.

Drink your tea.

Drink your tea.

Hold it!

Get away!

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

Drink your tea.

Drink your tea.

Drink your tea.

Tara!

Stop!

You can't go!

I'll get you.

I'll get you.

Hold up! Hold up!

I'll get you.

I'll come in.

I'll take my coffee.

I'll get you.

I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

Hey, you got a job?

It's a nice fire.

It's an ice cream car.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

Tell you.

Go!

No!

Sara!

Sara!

You're a great brother, Ben.

Your father's a big proud of you.

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

Thanks, Frank.

We can't be standing around here.

They're observing the view.

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

I won't be alone.

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Frank.

We can't stand here all day observing the view.

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