Bonanza (1959–1973): Season 9, Episode 9 - The Sure Thing - full transcript

The following program is brought
to you in living color on NBC.

That's the prettiest sight
in the whole world, ain't it?

Yeah, that's what you
said about that third steak

you had for
breakfast this morning.

Hey, what's he doing?

That ain't no he.

Ain't but one rider in the
territory can ride like that.

That's a she. It's that
Loughlin young 'un.

Think she's in trouble?

More than likely, knowing her, she's
probably got somebody else in trouble.

Hey, there's what she's after.



- She's got a wild one going.
- Yeah.

She's gonna have a deuce of a
time catching him on that nag she's on.

- Reckon we ought to help her?
- Come on, let's go.

Get your rope off my horse.

Now, wouldn't you say that
was the height of brass, Hoss,

considering you happen
to be on our property, dear?

It doesn't make any difference.
He's wild and you know it.

I started chasing
him up in the hills.

It ain't my fault he
ran onto your property.

Are you kidding?

What chance do you think you
would have had of getting him

if Hoss and I hadn't
helped you catch him?

Get your rope off
or I'll... or I'll cut it off.

And if you give me any more
trouble, I'll lop off your ears.



Joe, I believe I'd go along with her.
You'd look funny without them two ears.

All right, simmer down. We're
just kidding you. It's your horse.

I gotta admit, I envy you.
That's a fine-looking animal.

We might be able to make a little deal
on him once you get him saddle-broke.

He ain't for sale, to
you or to anyone else.

Now, get your rope off.

Yes, ma'am.

Thanks for your help.

Any time, ma'am.

What does she mean,
she wouldn't sell the horse?

She and her old man are in
the horse business, ain't they?

She's gonna have to sell that
horse whether she wants to or not,

the way her old man is.

I don't reckon he'd let her keep a
lame coyote if he could get a dime for it.

Let's get home.

We Make deal? Ten dollar.

All right, you got
a bet. Ten dollars.

Hey, don't tell me he's got you betting
on that... that Chinese lottery again.

No, no, no, no. I done lost
enough money on that, Joe.

No, we're betting on
the annual stake race.

You're betting on the
annual stake race?

- Yeah.
- That's... That's my name.

I'm... I'm in the stake
race, you know, of course.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, if you're both
betting on the stake race,

that means one of you
is betting against me.

Hop Sing bet on you
last two year, Little Joe.

Both time lose shirt.

This year bet on Tommy Tee.

Tommy Tee.

Well, I'm glad to see there's one
member of the family who's loyal.

Yeah, well, Joe,
as a matter of fact,

you see, I'm a little short
on shirts myself, so I...

- I bet on Flasher.
- Hm-hm.

Don't be too disappointed,
Joe. I'll bet on you.

I might even go as
high as five dollars.

Hop Sing, will you
please get the food here?

Yes.

Promised Bill Porter I'd
stop by his place this morning

and see that bull he had
shipped down from Oregon.

I'll go along with you. I'd like
to stop at the Loughlin place,

take a look at that horse
we helped Trudy catch.

Oh, yeah, you two been
talking about that horse so much,

I'd like to see it myself.

Hey, Hop Sing, hurry up, will you?
You're slower than Tommy Tee.

Hello, Mr. Cartwright.
Come on in.

- Oh, hi, Trudy.
- Hi, Trudy.

- Your father around?
- Uh, he's out in the barn.

- I'll... I'll go get him.
- Oh, thanks.

What do you wanna see him about?

About that horse
we helped you catch.

We'd like to make
your pa an offer on him.

Well, he ain't for
sale, I told you that.

Oh, well, the boys tell me
that he's an awfully good horse.

Animals like that
are hard to come by.

Should be able to get
a good price for him.

He ain't for sale.
The horse is mine.

Trudy?

And my pa don't know about it.

- How are you, sir?
- Loughlin.

Ain't often my good neighbors
the Cartwrights come to call.

- Join me in a drink?
- No, thank you, sir.

No, no, thank you. I just
dropped by for a moment.

Now, what can I do for you?

Well, we came by to see if
you had any horses for sale,

but I see your corral is empty.

Well, right now maybe. But I
got big plans, Mr. Cartwright.

One of these days Trudy and me are
gonna catch us a whole passel of wild ones.

Matter of fact, I
was just studying

on where I was gonna
build me a corral to hold 'em.

I'll show you where I've
been figuring on putting it.

Do you mind? I'd
appreciate your suggestions.

Uh...

Um, I guess I gotta thank
you for not giving me away.

Forget it.

Look, you got that horse hid out
somewhere, that's none of my business,

but you know your pa's gonna
find out about it sooner or later.

Oh, no, he won't, not
where I got him hid.

I got him up at the far
end of Lone Pine Canyon.

Pa doesn't go up that far.

You know how it's
been since Ma died.

Yeah, your pa hasn't
done so well lately, has he?

Ain't his fault. He got
real sick after Mom died.

Hasn't been able to
work like he used to.

- Yeah.
- See, I gotta help him, Joe.

That's why I got
that horse hid out.

I wanna keep him for breeding
stock, get a real fine horse ranch for Pa.

Trudy, you can't
do it all by yourself.

Yes, I can.

Catch a few wild mares.

I ain't never seen a horse like my
Barranca. That's what I named him.

- That's a good name.
- Got him saddle-broke already.

And I tell you, he's the
fastest horse anywhere.

Maybe you won't have
to wait for that ranch.

Maybe you can have it
right now. Look at this.

It's the stake race.
Thousand-dollar prize.

If Barranca's as fast as we
think he is, why not enter him?

- Think I could?
- Got nothing to lose.

Think about it. I'll see you.

Trudy.

If you'd been
doing your job right,

I'd have had some nags
to sell them Cartwrights.

Where is it?

In the wood box.

Where you going, girl?

Up in the hills to
get some horses.

Well, I hope you're
luckier today or something.

Sure been acting funny lately.

You don't seem to care much

that your old pa ain't got as much as
the price of a jug to ease his misery.

Everything's gonna
be different, Pa.

You just gotta
believe me. I know it is.

Oh, sure, there's a pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow too,

only you been digging
at the wrong end.

Oh, Pa.

All right, go ahead.

Find something to sell
them Cartwrights, you hear?

I hear.

And everything's gonna
be all right. Don't you worry.

You know, Barranca,
we got a lot of riding to do.

And you know why?

'Cause I'm gonna
enter you in a race.

A race that'll win us more money than
I ever dreamed of having in a lifetime.

A thousand dollars.

That'll buy Pa a real fine horse ranch
with breeding stock and everything.

Nobody'll ever look
down at him again.

You'll have a private pasture
and a barn that doesn't leak.

If there's enough money left over, I
may even buy myself a store-bought dress.

One with fancy buttons
and frills and everything.

And I'll go to this dance, and
everybody'll be looking at me,

and I'll just... dancing
and whirling around,

light as a peacock feather.

Hey, Barranca, whoa.

He ain't used to
nobody except me, Pa.

I figured you was
up to something.

I ain't done nothing wrong.

Sure got yourself a fine animal.

Isn't he, though? I named
him Barranca. Isn't he pretty?

- Yeah. Where'd you steal him?
- I didn't steal him.

Caught him three weeks
ago. Gentled him myself.

- Figured on selling him yourself?
- No, I wasn't gonna sell him.

Ben Cartwright wanted to
buy him, but I wouldn't sell.

Don't believe me,
you can ask him.

Cartwright's seen him?

He'd give a hundred
dollars for an animal like that.

No, Pa. We gotta keep
him. Don't you see?

Barranca could give us
everything we've ever wanted,

a fine horse ranch
and everything.

Oh, you and your dreams.

You must be touched in the head

if you think that one horse is
gonna give us everything we want.

But you can give me everything I
want, and that's a hundred dollars.

No, Pa, you gotta listen to me.

Don't sass me anymore.
Just get a halter on him.

Go on, get.

You can't be serious, Loughlin.

You bet I'm serious,
Mr. Cartwright.

You told Trudy you
wanted to buy this horse.

I'm telling you I
wanna sell him.

Even if she told you what that
horse might mean to both of you?

Trudy always has big
dreams, silly dreams.

I don't even listen to 'em.

It might be a good idea if you
did listen to her dreams sometimes.

Maybe you can afford the
time to listen to that foolishness.

I can't afford to turn down a
hundred dollars for this animal.

That's all I'm asking.

Do you wanna buy him or
don't you, Mr. Cartwright?

The animal's not yours to
sell in the first place, is it?

I mean, Trudy caught
him and broke him.

Trudy's a minor. She
ain't got no property rights.

Ain't that the law,
Mr. Cartwright?

Yeah, that's the law.

Well, then, we got a deal?

No, I don't want any part of it.

Well, all right, I'll find
somebody else to buy him.

I'll have no trouble,
fine animal like this one.

All right, let's go, girl.

Please, buy him, Mr. Cartwright.
Somebody's going to anyway.

And I'd rather you all
had him than anyone else,

so he wouldn't be
so far away from me.

All right, Trudy.

All right, come in the house. I'll
get you a bill of sale and your money.

- Sorry about that.
- Oh, it isn't your fault.

Barranca could win
that race, I just know it.

That's what I was trying to
tell Pa, but he wouldn't listen.

He's twice the horse than that
dumb old Skeeter you're gonna ride.

Trudy, you're kind of putting yourself
out on a big limb, aren't you, honey?

Wanna see how fast he can run?

Why not? I got
Skeeter in the barn.

I'm sure I can rustle
up an extra saddle.

Little Brother, looks to me like
you got a race on your hands.

One hundred. I sure
thank you, Mr. Cartwright.

- Where's Barranca?
- Hoss?

- Trudy. She run off with him?
- She sure did.

She left here on the dangedest
cloud of dust you ever seen.

- Huh?
- She and Joe are horse racing.

- Joe's on Skeeter.
- Oh, yeah?

Hey, Pa, she's beating him.

- Look at that horse go.
- And look at that little gal ride him.

Great Jehoshaphat, Pa. She
beat him seven ways to Sunday.

Congratulations.
He's a great horse.

You'll take good care
of him, won't you?

You know I will.

- That was a good ride. Good ride, Trudy.
- Thank you, Mr. Cartwright.

I tried to tell you, Pa.

But you wouldn't listen.

You cheated me, Cartwright.

I ain't gonna forget it.

Pa, if Loughlin thinks
you cheated him,

why don't you give him his money
back so Trudy can keep her horse?

I could.

Walk those horses around real good.
Let 'em cool off before you put 'em up.

Take special care of Barranca.

We don't want anything to happen
to Trudy's horse, now, do we?

20 dollars on Barranca. All
right, cowboy, you're covered.

Mort Benson, ten
dollars, Barranca.

Oh, Benson, you're a piker.

I'm betting three months pay,
a hundred dollars on Barranca.

- You put that in your book, Harper.
- One hundred, even money.

Even money?

Yesterday you was giving
three to one odds on Barranca.

That was yesterday.
Take it or leave it.

I'll take it anyway.

Hey, old timer.

They tell me you're the one that
sold Barranca to Ben Cartwright.

What business is
that of yours, mister?

Bartender, bring my
friend a bottle here.

- That make it my business?
- Yeah, that makes it your business.

- Why'd you sell the horse so cheap?
- Word sure gets around.

You're the one that's
been spreading it.

You been on quite
a drunk, Loughlin.

You been spouting off all over
town how Ben Cartwright cheated you.

Well, Ben Cartwright
did cheat me.

Well, that's no concern of mine.

What does concern me is that
Barranca's suddenly become

the overwhelming
favorite in the stake race.

I'm covering an awful lot of
money bet on him right now.

Well, my friend, you had better have
an awful lot of money to pay off with.

Barranca could beat any of
those nags running backwards.

I saw my daughter ride Barranca

against Joe Cartwright's Skeeter

and beat him by a mile.

It wasn't my fault, Barranca.

I mean, I tried to hide you.

Things just didn't work
out for you and me.

Don't you worry. Someday I'm gonna
have lots of money. I'll just buy you back.

You really love that
horse, don't you, Trudy?

I wasn't doing nothing.

Why, you was talking to your horse.
Sometimes that's real important doings.

I guess I should have asked you
folks whether I could come out here.

You're welcome any time.

Well, thanks, 'cause that's just
fine, 'cause he's the best friend I got.

Yeah.

You... You planning
on staying a while,

or ain't you afraid your
pa might miss you?

Well, Pa's got money
in his pocket now,

so he's... he's down at
the saloon every night.

Well, look, you and Barranca go
ahead and just have yourself a good visit.

I'll... I'll see you
after a while.

Do you hear that, Barranca?

I can come and visit
you any time I want.

And you won't be
lonesome either.

And they may let
me even ride you.

And you gotta admit
that barn's much better

than that corral you were
living in up in the hills.

We can just pretend
that you're my very own.

Ah.

What's the matter,
Mr. Cartwright?

- You told them, didn't you?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, I told 'em, Trudy.

Trudy, we... we have a proposition
we'd like to discuss with you,

sort of a business deal.

Yeah, we just... we
just had a meeting.

About me?

Yes, about you
and about Barranca.

Yeah. Trudy, how would
you like to ride Barranca?

In the big race?

We haven't won that
race in a couple of years.

What's the catch?

Well, yes, there... there is
a catch, I must admit to that.

If you win the race,
Barranca belongs to you.

Only you don't take legal
possession until you're of legal age.

And you only get half the prize
money, when you're of legal age.

Have we got a deal?

What do you think, Barranca?
Think we'll win that race?

OK, you got yourself a deal.

All right, it's a deal.

What good's that gonna do me?

I need money now, girl, now.

Them Cartwrights get all
the prize money if you win.

They got a
prize-winner stallion.

Can't you see through
their scheme, girl?

You're too dumb to understand.

Mr. Cartwright said he'd
hold half the money for me

and sign Barranca back to me.

When? Four or
five years from now?

You swallowed his words.

They're just tricking you, girl,

and you're too dumb
to understand, I told you.

They wouldn't do that.
They wouldn't lie to me.

It's not like that. It's
very important to them.

You know Mr. Cartwright
and all of 'em.

Why? They got some
bets on Barran...?

That it?

- They betting?
- How should I know?

Maybe I was a little hasty.

Riding that horse means
a lot to you, don't it?

Yeah, it means
an awful lot to me.

Come on over here
to your old man.

Come on over. I done
changed my mind.

You got a right.

You got a right to enter that
race as you got a mind to.

You got a right as
much as anybody.

- You mean it?
- Yeah.

If you... if you want
anything that strong,

I ain't gonna stand
in your way, honey.

Uh-uh. I'm gonna do
all I can to help you.

Now, wait a minute.
Listen to what I got to say.

I ain't wasting your time.

How much you got
on Barranca to win?

I've covered close to 7,000.

What is it worth to you to
make sure Barranca loses?

Forget it, Loughlin. You can't
get to the horse or the Cartwrights.

Maybe not. But I can
get to my daughter.

And Joe Cartwright ain't
riding Barranca. My daughter is.

Well, now, maybe you ain't wasting
my time after all, Mr. Loughlin.

Hello, Pa.

What's the matter? You hurt?

Oh, it's... it's one
of my spasms.

It comes and goes.

It'll go away after a little.

It's just that I...

Where you going?

Well, I'm gonna get
dressed and go for a doctor.

Oh, no, no.

No, he can't do me any
good. I've seen him already.

That's why I've been
drinking so much.

- Well, what is it?
- I don't know.

It's one of them... one of
them yard-long sawbone things.

Is it bad?

Trudy...

I got about six months to live.

Oh, Pa, come and sit down.

No, no. No use
getting excited about it.

Ain't nothing we can do.

Well, there's gotta be
something we could do.

Well, there's... this
doctor in San Francisco.

Oh, there ain't no
use talking about that.

- It'd take a lot of money.
- Well, we've got money.

There must be something left
from when we sold Barranca.

That's not enough money.

Take a thousand
dollars, operation and all.

Well, there's gotta be a way.

There is a way. There's...

Oh, no, no, I couldn't
ask you to do that.

Well, what is it?

No, forget it.

I'd do anything in
the world for you, Pa.

I could make a
deal with this Harper.

He'd pay a heap of
money if he... was sure

that Barranca was
gonna lose the race.

You could get him
off to a bad start

and... kind of box him
in and pull him in a little.

Are you asking me to give
Barranca a bad race on purpose?

I know it's the wrong thing,

but it's only a
horse race, and...

I am dying.

I can't do that. I... I can't.

Not even to save my life?

That's right, honey.
That's my girl.

Just rode down to see how
you and Barranca's getting along.

Looks to me like he's about as
skittish as a polecat in a perfume factory.

Ain't nothing wrong with him.

It looked to me like he was
trying to run off with you.

- Well, he's a wild horse, ain't he?
- What's the matter, hon? What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm just tired. So's Barranca.
I mean, I gave him a long workout.

You haven't any reason
to find fault with us.

Why don't you call it a day?

- That's just what I'm gonna do.
- You can ride him on into the barn.

I'll come in and brush him
down and cool him off for you.

Thanks.

Where you been, girl?

Been out riding
around. Thinking.

Only thing you ought to be
thinking about is your old pa.

Maybe thinking about how
he ain't had any dinner yet.

Stop looking at me that way.

Whiskey's the only
thing that eases the pain.

I had another one of
those attacks today.

Real terrible this time.

I went into town. I had a
talk with Doc Martin today.

What made you do a thing like
that? You checking up on me?

Probably lied to you, told you
there was nothing wrong with me.

He doesn't wanna worry you none.

Doc didn't lie, Pa. You did.

Just like you always have when
you wanted to get your own way.

But there ain't gonna
be any more lies.

Leastwise I ain't gonna hear
'em, 'cause I'm leaving for good.

Oh, no, Trudy, wait.

You're right, honey.

I lied, I admit it. I was wrong.

But I didn't lie just for me.

I lied for both of us.

You... We can still have that
ranch you've always wanted.

We can have some fine horses.

Only you've gotta stay, Trudy.
You gotta ride in that race.

You gotta ride Barranca.
And you gotta lose.

I made a deal with Harper.

If I cross him, he'll kill me.

You understand? He'll kill me.

I ain't gonna throw that race,
Pa. I've made my mind up.

But I'll do one last thing.

I'll see that Barranca
isn't even in the race,

and that way Harper won't lose any
money and you won't be in any trouble.

Oh, honey, that's all I
need. That's all I need.

I'm not coming back, Pa.

Maybe what I want is a dream.

Maybe I won't find it.

But at least someplace
else I'll have a little chance.

Trudy, honey.

Goodbye, Pa.

Barranca, I ain't never
done nothing like this before,

I mean stealing a horse,

but, you understand, you
gotta go back to the hills

where... where you
belong, where I found you.

Come on, boy.

- What's she up to?
- I told you I heard something.

Go on, boy. Go on, go
back and join the herd.

Go on. Go on. Get
out. Go on. Go on.

Get out.

Go on, boy. Go on.

I don't want you anymore.
Don't you understand?

I don't want you anymore!

Go on.

I'm gonna throw this
rock at you! Go on!

Trudy! Trudy,
what are you doing?

Mr. Cartwright, I can't ride
Barranca in the race! I can't!

Trudy!

I told you, Pa, this morning
she acted real skittery

and she was working out Barranca

like she was trying to tighten
him up or something, and now this.

Maybe this has something to
do with what I was telling you

about Harper and Loughlin
getting their heads together.

Her father just might be pressing
her into throwing that race.

There's a lot of money involved.

Yeah, that'd make a girl like
her act this way, sure would.

All right.

Barranca's gonna run in that
race and he's gonna win it.

And you're gonna ride him.

Evening, Mr. Cartwright.

I'm looking for Trudy.
Figured she must be here.

She was here
before, with Barranca.

But if she's not at home, I
imagine she's off somewhere

trying to find some
answers to some questions.

About what? Answers to what?

Oh, answers to some simple questions,
like what's right and what's wrong?

Well, she knows right and
wrong. Her ma and me taught her.

Did you?

Well, now, maybe
I wasn't born lucky.

Maybe I don't own a big
spread the way you do.

But that don't give you no call to
criticize the way I run my family.

I'm not criticizing the
way you run your family.

And money's got
nothing to do with this.

I'm just trying to talk to
you as one father to another.

- Well, I done the best I could.
- Did you?

Then why do you think she's turned
to that horse the way she has, huh?

Because she's found
something to love,

something alive that
would return her affection.

Do you know why
she came here tonight?

To try to run that
horse back into the hills

because she didn't want
him to race in a crooked race.

All she wanted to do
was race Barranca,

and you managed to
ruin even that for her.

She ain't gonna ride Barranca
in that race Saturday, huh?

No, she's not.

My son Joseph is gonna
ride him. It's getting late.

Well, I still don't know
where she headed for.

You're the only folks
that she'd ask anything of.

Well, maybe she's
out there somewhere

hoping that you'll find
her, tell her something.

Yeah, I'll tell her
what you said.

I'll tell her I'm sorry
about everything too.

You might try telling
her something else.

- What's that?
- That you love her.

Hey, boys, we only got ten
minutes before the race starts.

Bartender, give me a
quick one there, will you?

If it ain't too late, I
wanna get a bet down.

- Sure thing, friend.
- 50 on Barranca.

I wasn't gonna bet until they
announced a change of riders

a few minutes ago.

What are you saying, friend?

Well, that Loughlin girl ain't
gonna be riding Barranca after all.

Joe Cartwright is.

Thank you, friend.

Joe.

An awful lot of people betting
an awful lot of money in this race.

It looks like most of
it's being bet on you.

I'll do my best.

That's the
ten-minute gun, gents.

Next time I fire it,
the race'll be on.

Hello, Trudy.

I ain't got nothing to say, Pa.

Trudy...

When you didn't come
home, I was worried.

Told you I wasn't coming back.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I don't
blame you none for that.

All I ever thought
about was myself.

Never really talked to you.

Never realized a
young girl like you

ever needed anything more than
a bunch of scrub horses to talk to.

- You done the best you could.
- Oh, no, no, no, I didn't.

I lied to you
over and over. I...

Well, don't go getting the idea
that I'm trying to pull something

just to... make you forgive me.

I realize it's too
late for that, but...

All I want you to do now
is to do the right thing.

What does that mean?

I want you to ride
Barranca in that race,

and I want you
to ride him to win.

Yeah, well, you said if I rode Barranca
in the race and won, Harper'd kill you.

Don't you recognize
another one of my lies?

I was just trying to scare you
into doing something my way.

I know now I was
wrong, dead wrong.

Trudy...

Honey...

You do wanna ride
in that race, don't you?

Make all of them
dreams come true?

Yeah, I wanna do that more
than anything else in the world,

but Little Joe's riding him.

Oh, you just go on
over to them Cartwrights

and tell them what I had to say
and... you ride Barranca in that race.

Now, go on, go on. Go on, get.

Just a minute. There's one
thing more I wanna tell you.

Yeah, what is it?
I... I'm listening.

I love you.

You crossed me, Loughlin.
You said your girl would ride.

She's gonna ride, Harper.

But I crossed you all right.

She's gonna ride to win.

Maybe you're lying, maybe you
ain't, but I always cover my bets.

I ain't taking any chances
on paying out all that money.

All right, boys, we're leaving
town. You too, Loughlin.

But you won't be going very far.

Bring the horses round the back.
We'll get the money box. Let's go.

Listen, Mr. Cartwright, I've
just gotta ride him. I've just gotta.

Everything's all right now.
Pa was... he was lying.

Mr. Harper ain't gonna
kill him if Barranca wins.

Ah, so that was it.

Please.

You better get mounted up or you're
gonna lose this race before it starts.

Come on, give me that jacket.

All right, gents.

And girl.

Let's have a good start.

Calm down, Barranca. Calm down.

Go, Trudy.

- Go on, Trudy!
- Great start!

She's ahead.

At least I got to see
the start of the race.

She's way out in front.

All right, let's...
let's get it over with.

Can you imagine a fella like
Loughlin lying to his own daughter?

Yeah.

Pour me a drink, will you?

By the time the race is
over, we'll be long gone.

Loughlin. Loughlin,
I wanna talk to you...

Look out, Ben!

Come on, get over here.

They was gonna kill me, Ben.

I think you knew that when
you sent Trudy looking for us

a couple of minutes ago.

Another one of my lies.

Yeah, only this time it
was a lie with a difference.

You did it for her
sake, didn't you?

- I'm gonna have to get you to the doctor.
- No, not yet.

Please, Ben. I wanna
see the end of the race.

I wanna see my little girl.

I'll be all right.

Get them over to
the sheriff. Come on.

Where are they,
Ben? Where are they?

Well, it's a long race.

Sit down.

Barranca!

Come on, Barranca, move!

Come on, Barranca, move!

Come on, Barranca! Let's go!

There they are.

She won, Ben.

- Yeah.
- She won.

Yeah, she sure
did. She sure did.

- Mr. Loughlin.
- How do you feel?

- Oh, fine, fine.
- Good.

Hey.

What's the matter with Trudy?
Looks like she's lost her last friend.

Yeah.

Well, she just about did, Hoss.

Barranca jumped
that fence last night.

- Trudy.
- Trudy, we're sorry.

- We just heard about Barranca.
- Yeah, he went back to the hills.

He's wild again.

The three of us could go out and
look for him. We might find him.

We could do that.

If he loves to run free
better than he likes me,

then that's what I want for him.

Trudy.

I'll be dad-burned. And he
brought his whole harem with him.

Well, there's the start
of your horse ranch.
