Bonanza (1959–1973): Season 14, Episode 1 - Forever - full transcript
Candy and Jamie are with Joe when Joe sees his house is on fire. He yells for his wife. Sadly, Alice and her brother are both murdered. Joe and Candy go looking for the killers to bring them to justice.
The following program is
brought to you in living color
on NBC.
Yeah, there was a fight.
He didn't get hurt real bad.
- He just needs to...
- Sleep it off. I know.
He drinks more than he fights.
I see you managed
to get all of his money.
Look, lady, I didn't come here
to find out about any money,
and I didn't take the money
he had with him.
He got in a card game
he shouldn't have.
I just brought him home. That's all.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
Thank you for bringing him home.
Friends?
Friends.
It's so beautiful.
It's my favorite place.
Brother Hoss and I used to come here
when we were kids.
We didn't do anything special.
We'd just...
Sit and look out.
We used to call it our happy place.
You really loved him, didn't you?
Yeah.
Those whom God
hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
What?
Nice night for a walk,
isn't it, John?
Isn't it, John?
You disappoint me, John.
You really do.
I trusted you.
You owe me money,
a great deal of money.
You promised to pay me
and you haven't.
Dam... Damion, I will pay you.
I just need a few more days.
- I told you.
- I know what you told me.
You told me you had a bank draft
coming in from... St. Louis.
Yes. Yes, I do, and it'll be here
in just a few days.
There is no bank draft, is there, John?
Yes, there... I swear there is.
Lying is a sin, John.
A man must pay for his sins.
- Hanley...
- No, no.
No, no, please. Please.
I... I... Please.
All right, I... I lied.
I'm sorry. I was scared.
I thought that my luck would change,
that I could win
some of the money back.
I let you play on credit
and you never really meant to pay me.
That's not true. I will pay you.
I'll get the money somewhere.
- Where?
- I don't know.
That's not good enough.
- Hanley...
- No, wait! Wait!
My sister, she's got the money.
She got married
three, four months ago
to a fella that's got plenty.
She'll give it to me.
Five thousand is a lot of money.
Her husband's got it.
His father owns a big spread.
His name's Cartwright.
Believe me, he's got plenty of money.
Hi.
I suppose you're wondering
what I'm doing.
No?
Okay, well, I'm going
to tell you anyway.
I was... See, I was putting the cradle
in different places around the room
to see where the baby
would get a lot of sun
and have a nice view
at the same time.
Oh.
Well, um... why don't you put it
right in the center?
See, then the baby
can look straight up,
'cause if you keep
fooling around with the cradle,
this room is never
going to get a roof on it.
Okay?
I know what you mean.
Is... Is it big enough?
- The room?
- The room, yeah.
- Is it big enough?
- Plenty big.
I can make it a lot bigger.
No, it is perfect.
Suppose you have twins?
Would you not say that?
I'm going to have plenty of trouble
just taking care of
one at a time, thank you.
- Very much.
- You're welcome, certainly.
I think two you's and me's
wouldn't be too bad, though, would it?
Oh.
We're gonna have as many you's
and me's as you want.
Okay?
But right now, I think we ought to
get the first room finished.
Finished, all right.
I'm gonna go over to Pa's
and get some more lumber.
- Say hello for me.
- Will do!
Oh, see if the family wants
to have supper with us.
- We've got plenty.
- I will.
I love you.
Hyah.
- Well, that ought to do it.
- Yeah.
If that doesn't, we've got plenty more.
That's plenty.
Let's get Jamie and head on home
and get some good supper.
No point in rushing it.
You gotta let Hop Sing
get that pie finished.
You know how he's going to feel
if we go off and leave it.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Hey, uh, what's it feel like,
knowing you're going to be a papa?
I'll tell you, I get so nervous
I can't sleep at night.
Well, wait 'til that baby's born.
He's never going to
let you sleep again.
I don't think you understand
how serious this situation really is.
I understand exactly
how serious it is, for you.
I hardly think you're in
any position to threaten me.
Not if you care about your brother.
He really has some
very fine qualities, you know?
I would advise you to leave
my brother right here,
and take your friends and go.
My husband and his family
will be here any minute,
and I don't think
they'll take too kindly
to your being here.
What a shame.
I had hoped we could
be such good friends.
Look what I found.
This is lovely, Mrs. Cartwright.
A gift from your husband?
The stones look quite good.
I don't know if it covers
the full amount owed to me...
but it's better than nothing.
Give me back the box.
Get out of my house.
Give me back the box.
Get out of my house!
I'll only ask you one more time,
and then I'll have to let
Mr. Hanley take it from you.
Don't touch her.
The box, Mrs. Cartwright.
My God.
Hyah! Come on! Hyah!
Hyah!
Alice...
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
Alice!
- Alice!
- Joe, it's too late!
Let me go. Alice.
Alice!
- Joe!
- No!
Nothin', huh?
Nope.
There's no way
to tell how it started, Clem.
Could've been the stove.
More than likely was.
Well...
I never did see a fire burn
any hotter than this one.
Sheriff, take a look over here.
Looks like another body,
or what's left of one.
Wonder who it is?
Well, there's no way to tell.
You'd better wrap it up
and put it in the wagon with...
With the woman,
then head back to town.
We know, oh God, that you will
welcome Alice Cartwright
to your kingdom with open arms,
and we pray that with that knowledge,
her husband and her loved ones
will find comfort.
Help them, oh Lord,
to forget this tragedy,
and to remember only the beauty...
And the love
that was Alice Cartwright.
Amen.
It's good to see you.
Always welcome to our house.
It was gettin' kind of late.
I was just...
wondering where you were.
Same old Pa. Always worrying, huh?
No, I wasn't worrying. I...
Ah, come on now. Come on.
You were worrying.
Well, there's nothing to worry about.
You...
Heard the preacher today.
He said... Alice is in heaven, and...
You think about the good times.
Why don't you come on home?
I'm home!
See how quick you forget? I'm home.
This is my home.
This is our home.
Alice's and mine...
And our baby's.
I nev... I never got the baby's room
finished, you know?
I thought it was too sm...
Small, but I...
Told Alice I could make it bigger.
She said it was plenty big.
She said...
She...
She...
Looks like you're all set.
Yeah.
You'll let us hear from you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know from where.
I'm just gonna keep movin'.
Just need a little time.
I know.
Take care.
Yeah, I will.
Let me have a beer, will you?
Would you settle for whiskey?
The beer went skunky on me.
Yeah, whiskey'll be fine.
Looks like you've been
on the trail for a while.
Yeah. About a month.
Feller down at the livery stable
said you had rooms to rent.
Oh, sure do. Ain't the greatest,
but the beds are sleepable.
That's fine.
Let's see...
Six. End of the hall.
That's 25 cents for the room
and 50 cents for the whiskey.
Here, keep the change. Good night.
Sleep good.
Where did you get that music box?
Listen, mister, you get out of here.
Where'd you get it?
Where did you get it?
It's mine!
- You get out of here.
- Now, you hold on...
Get out of here!
Where'd you get that music box?
Some fella gave it to me.
What was his name?
- I... I don't remember.
- You think!
Uh...
He... he was a little fella.
He...
He talked real proper,
real fancy.
What was his name?
Damion. Damion, that was it.
His last name?
I... I don't know.
His friends just called him Damion.
Friends?
What were their names?
I... I don't know.
Think!
The three fellas he had with him.
I don't know. One of them... was...
Big... and mean-lookin'.
Never said anything.
This... This Damion did all the talking.
How long ago did they leave?
A couple of weeks.
They stayed in town
for a while, gambling.
Cleaned everybody out.
Mentioned... something about
working their way to Frisco.
I don't know any more. I swear it.
The horses are saddled.
Joe, let... Let me go with you.
No, I want you to ride into town.
Tell Clem what happened.
Have him wire the law
in San Francisco.
They can notify the jewelry stores
to keep an eye out for the necklace.
That'll be our only lead
if they beat us to Frisco.
All right.
Candy and I will check
every little town on the way.
Let's go.
You'd better wire your Pa
in Carson City, too.
All right. Should I tell him
to try to catch up with you?
No, there's not enough time.
Uh, just tell him...
Tell him we'll get 'em.
Hey, what's the next town?
Uh, Haskell.
How far?
Well, we, um...
We ought to make it by nightfall.
There's Daddy.
Say, "Hi, Daddy."
We're gonna have to rest
the horses awhile on the way.
After that we've got just a few
more towns before Frisco...
Barlow, Thornton...
I love you more than you know.
It means we're going to
have to add that room on
a little sooner than we planned to.
Forever.
Forever.
Forever.
Joe?
Joe?
I said we'd better get going.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Excellent.
A pleasant surprise
in such plebian surroundings.
I want to get out of this place.
It's drivin' me nuts.
There's nothin' to do around here.
I say when we can go.
Well, I wish you'd hurry up
and decide!
I don't hurry anything!
That's what I like
about Mr. Hanley here.
He doesn't hurry either.
He enjoys every moment...
Savors it, like you would a fine wine.
You've angered me, Sloan.
I think you ought to be
more like... Mr. Hanley.
Hanley...
Cut out his tongue.
Come on, you got to be joking.
I thought you knew me
far better than that.
Now, wait a minute. I...
I didn't mean nothin' by that.
I'm sorry.
Hey, look, I said I was sorry.
Look, call him off, will you?
Don't... Call him! Please!
You want to be forgiven?
Yes.
You kneel when you ask
for forgiveness.
Come forward.
Yes, Sloan?
Please... forgive me.
And he was forgiven.
It's been about an hour.
The horses ought to be rested by now.
I'll get 'em saddled up.
$1 a night for two.
Extra 50 cents if you want a bath.
We don't need a room.
We're looking for some men.
There's four of them.
One's named Damion.
- Mr. Damion. You friends of his?
- He's here?
Was here. Wonderful man.
Real gentleman.
How long ago did they leave?
Mm, four, maybe five hours ago.
Left me a $5 tip.
It's going to be tough tracking them
at night. We'll need torches.
We'll need some fresh horses, too.
Where's the livery?
- Why you lookin' for him?
- Where's the livery?
All the way up the north end
of the street.
He wouldn't do nothing wrong.
I told you, he's a gentleman.
I wonder who they could be.
Well, it doesn't matter.
How far behind us
would you say they are?
Two, maybe three hours
at the pace they're going.
It'll be daylight in three hours.
Mr. Hanley and I will go on ahead
until we find some fresh water.
You two stay behind... and kill them.
Make out who they are yet?
I can make them out clear enough,
but I ain't never seen them before.
Well, there's one thing for sure...
We're never going to see them again.
Take care of the horses.
Hear it?
Mmm-hmm. Top of that knoll.
Be safe for about another 50 yards.
- Then move.
- Mmm-hmm.
They're still a-riding.
Just a little closer.
Now. Now!
You see anything?
No.
I'm getting out of here.
- Stay put.
- Oh, no.
You can get killed for Damion,
but I'm not.
Candy?
I'm all right.
If you don't want to end up
like your friend over there,
you're going to talk.
No, I... I don't want no part of this.
Look, I didn't mean you any harm.
I don't even know you!
You knew my wife...
Didn't you?
Your wife?
My house.
My wife.
You burned my house.
No, that wasn't me.
It was Damion and Hanley.
They done it.
Look, I... I was there, but I...
I didn't have nothin' to do with it.
Damion...
He let Hanley kill her...
And then they burned the house.
That's the truth.
Where are they?
They rode on ahead to look for water.
We're supposed to meet them there.
Stay with him.
Hanley.
I don't like it.
I thought they would have
been here by now.
If anything's gone wrong,
those two will still be following us.
I wouldn't like that.
I wouldn't like that at all.
Build a fire.
We will be ready if company comes.
Okay, get up slow.
Keep your hands
where I can see them.
Whatever you say.
That means you, too.
I'm afraid that won't do any good.
There's no one under that blanket.
Mr. Hanley!
Did he ride in alone?
I could have had Mr. Hanley
kill you right away,
but I'd like to know
why I'm being followed.
It makes me very uneasy
not knowing why.
You killed my wife.
Your wife?
Oh, yes.
You must be Cartwright.
Of course.
But how did you connect us?
We burned all the evidence.
Not the music box.
The music box.
That's right.
Now, that was stupid of me,
I must admit.
But no one's perfect.
You see,
women happen to be my only vice.
Now, you take Mr. Hanley here.
He doesn't have that problem.
He has a much different way
of dealing with women.
I'm afraid your wife was an example.
Mr. Hanley, give me the rifle.
Now, you and Mr. Cartwright
have something to settle.
You did kill his wife.
And since we have no judge
or jury here,
I think the fairest way...
Is through trial by combat.
Let the trial begin, Mr. Hanley.
Kill him!
Trial by combat is to the death!
Kill him!
You disappoint me, Cartwright.
The Bible says an eye for an eye.
You should have killed him.
You had the right!
I'll give you one more chance.
So, kill...
Ah! No!
I wouldn't have let him!
Mr. Hanley!
I never would've let him!
Hanley! No.
No! I wouldn't have let him!
No! No!
No! Don't hurt me!
No!
No! Hanley!
Hanley!
I love you.

coming in from... St. Louis.
Yes. Yes, I do, and it'll be here
in just a few days.
There is no bank draft, is there, John?
Yes, there... I swear there is.
Lying is a sin, John.

Well, I wish you'd hurry up
and decide!
I don't hurry anything!
That's what I like
about Mr. Hanley here.
He doesn't hurry either.
He enjoys every moment...
Savors it, like you would a fine wine.
You've angered me, Sloan.
I think you ought to be
more like... Mr. Hanley.
Hanley...
Cut out his tongue.
Come on, you got to be joking.
I thought you knew me
far better than that.
Now, wait a minute. I...
I didn't mean nothin' by that.
I'm sorry.
Hey, look, I said I was sorry.
Look, call him off, will you?
Don't... Call him! Please!
You want to be forgiven?
Yes.
You kneel when you ask
for forgiveness.
Come forward.
Yes, Sloan?
Please... forgive me.
And he was forgiven.
It's been about an hour.
The horses ought to be rested by now.
I'll get 'em saddled up.
$1 a night for two.
Extra 50 cents if you want a bath.
We don't need a room.
We're looking for some men.
There's four of them.
One's named Damion.
- Mr. Damion. You friends of his?
- He's here?
Was here. Wonderful man.
Real gentleman.
How long ago did they leave?
Mm, four, maybe five hours ago.
Left me a $5 tip.
It's going to be tough tracking them
at night. We'll need torches.
We'll need some fresh horses, too.
Where's the livery?
- Why you lookin' for him?
- Where's the livery?
All the way up the north end
of the street.
He wouldn't do nothing wrong.
I told you, he's a gentleman.
I wonder who they could be.
Well, it doesn't matter.
How far behind us
would you say they are?
Two, maybe three hours
at the pace they're going.
It'll be daylight in three hours.
Mr. Hanley and I will go on ahead
until we find some fresh water.
You two stay behind... and kill them.
Make out who they are yet?
I can make them out clear enough,
but I ain't never seen them before.
Well, there's one thing for sure...
We're never going to see them again.
Take care of the horses.
Hear it?
Mmm-hmm. Top of that knoll.
Be safe for about another 50 yards.
- Then move.
- Mmm-hmm.
They're still a-riding.
Just a little closer.
Now. Now!
You see anything?
No.
I'm getting out of here.
- Stay put.
- Oh, no.
You can get killed for Damion,
but I'm not.
Candy?
I'm all right.
If you don't want to end up
like your friend over there,
you're going to talk.
No, I... I don't want no part of this.
Look, I didn't mean you any harm.
I don't even know you!
You knew my wife...
Didn't you?
Your wife?
My house.
My wife.
You burned my house.
No, that wasn't me.
It was Damion and Hanley.
They done it.
Look, I... I was there, but I...
I didn't have nothin' to do with it.
Damion...
He let Hanley kill her...
And then they burned the house.
That's the truth.
Where are they?
They rode on ahead to look for water.
We're supposed to meet them there.
Stay with him.
Hanley.
I don't like it.
I thought they would have
been here by now.
If anything's gone wrong,
those two will still be following us.
I wouldn't like that.
I wouldn't like that at all.
Build a fire.
We will be ready if company comes.
Okay, get up slow.
Keep your hands
where I can see them.
Whatever you say.
That means you, too.
I'm afraid that won't do any good.
There's no one under that blanket.
Mr. Hanley!
Did he ride in alone?
I could have had Mr. Hanley
kill you right away,
but I'd like to know
why I'm being followed.
It makes me very uneasy
not knowing why.
You killed my wife.
Your wife?
Oh, yes.
You must be Cartwright.
Of course.
But how did you connect us?
We burned all the evidence.
Not the music box.
The music box.
That's right.
Now, that was stupid of me,
I must admit.
But no one's perfect.
You see,
women happen to be my only vice.
Now, you take Mr. Hanley here.
He doesn't have that problem.
He has a much different way
of dealing with women.
I'm afraid your wife was an example.
Mr. Hanley, give me the rifle.
Now, you and Mr. Cartwright
have something to settle.
You did kill his wife.
And since we have no judge
or jury here,
I think the fairest way...
Is through trial by combat.
Let the trial begin, Mr. Hanley.
Kill him!
Trial by combat is to the death!
Kill him!
You disappoint me, Cartwright.
The Bible says an eye for an eye.
You should have killed him.
You had the right!
I'll give you one more chance.
So, kill...
Ah! No!
I wouldn't have let him!
Mr. Hanley!
I never would've let him!
Hanley! No.
No! I wouldn't have let him!
No! No!
No! Don't hurt me!
No!
No! Hanley!
Hanley!
I love you.
