Bonanza - Death on Sun Mountain | Episode 02 | Best Western Series | Lorne Greene

[Music] look over there so that's what's been happening to our capital [Music] so it is as i have promised her winnemucca the cattle are in the small canyon your people are grateful take them quickly if the cartwrights come out here you know what happens to cattle thieves shoot ben cartwright shoot [Music] [Applause] [Applause] so [Music] i trusted you i gave you a good life in the ponderosa do you repay me by stealing my cattle do not blame my brother he but did the word of his chief how long have the pilots been cattle thieves since the washoe antelope and deer are gone since the pinyon tree burns in the fires of sun mountain since our women and our children and our braves sit hungry in our tents and sicken without food what say you win a mucker the washoe antelope herds have fed the pilot since the long ago dream time the diggers of sun mountain need antelope while the pots of the paiute are empty they are the three head the weakest of the ponderosa herd cannot see his people starve it's a matter of you tukwa the cartwrights let the paiute starve why didn't you ask us the pirate is a man he does not beg even now when a muka is called woman by my young men around the council fires winamaka is no woman he thinks of his people the ways of peace are good ways but because the paiute loves peace does not mean he cannot make war war brings nothing but wailing and tents and lodges when a mocker for the piot and the white man you and i understand these things does ben cartwright disregard the voices of his sons even so when amaka hears the words of his young men they speak for war they see as i see that the paiute walks the same trail as the antelope and the antelope is dead the men who dig in the earth are new to washoe winamaka they do not know the ways of the land my sons and i we will ride to them and make them understand they will listen the cartwrights and the paiutes have long walked the earth together but if there is war ben cartwright even the men of the ponderosa can die there will be no war and no more antelope will die i will see to it tuqua always speaks the truth they must indeed be the weakest cattle of our herd for our friendship would you drive them up the ponderosa help you people took [Music] paul i don't like all that war talk a new virginia city is full of fools you think even fools will know you can't push indians around all they were thinking about was food food is one thing destroying the balance of nature is another to keep this up the whole of washoe become a desert saw what happened to john cena california all right let's go purple virginia city [Music] [Music] hey adam you see that little girl smiling me oh what makes you think a shoe she was smiling at you know every time i come in here i got to get used to it all over again remember when this was nothing more than a jackrabbit run yeah i don't know what i like the jackrabbits better little joke ooh all right you two country boys get your fill of the city adam and i'll take a little look around hey horse you ever seen anything like this in your whole life yeah i seen a stampede last fall up in silver meter the only difference was stampede made more sense come on before you take root looks good mark i wish there was more i guess we've seen it all now the good and the bad that's what they call striking it rich looks like all they've struck so far is bad luck pretty rough on young ones like that howdy howdy it's not much of a meal for grown boys that take much of a meal for anybody but that's my business ain't it well no offense intended mr harris carl harris there's my wife my boys hello howdy howdy you know mr house you could be feeding those boys beef yeah hefner had wings that could fly too mr harris we're the cockrites from the ponderosa now there's plenty of beef in the valley huh i reckon so all i can do to fork over ten dollars a pound for that skinny antelope i couldn't afford beef you paid ten dollars a pound and lucky to get it a man come through last week selling salt pork for 15 a pound at least this meat is fresh we aren't starving mister we take care ourselves well i'm sure you do man you don't have to pay those prices but we market our steers over to placerville for 25 ahead we'll be making money selling them to you for 20. 20 that's right are you joking me mister they use if you want them all you have to do is come over to the ponderosa and drive them away [Laughter] i couldn't do much better than that back home in cane tuck kentucky you're a long way from home i got tired of seeing my family stop on 40 acres of rock now i figured if we had to stop we might as well do it somewhere where there's a chance of striking it rich nobody's gonna starve but we have cattle to sell now get yourself some men together and come over to the ponderosa well by golly we'll do it oh do you hear that woman we're gonna eat ourselves some beef oh here i am acting like a yankee come on in have a cup of coffee mr

to your head they're about to pop out you know host i could have a good time if you weren't here yeah get yourself into a pack of trouble too hey look at that little joke all right let's go hurry up let's go antelope made ten dollars a pound yeah looks like we're raising the wrong kind of stock don't come on let's go [Music] here let me try a little joe excuse me man excuse me they must be out of their minds also friend always like to hear the other fella side of things ten dollars a pound for antelope meat that makes sense to you it depends on your point of view you see that happens to be my

that time comstock and those other fellows were checking it away thinking only about gold gold virginia city is going to be a hundred times the strike the mother lode ever was now let me tell you something boys there's more than one way to strike it rich man can live without whiskey and women in closing even shelter but if he doesn't eat he dies hey little joe what are you doing here well i'd like you to meet mark with that he owns this place i'm proud to meet you mr conrad it's my brother adam adam honey you've got a good thing here haven't you yeah it takes a business man i know a good business mr cartwright is that what you call it i could think of another name you boys sound as if you want to talk well one thing you'll find out about me i'm always ready to oblige this way denver here we are not very much but it's a beginning what i say is let them have their silver as long as i can sell them their meat you're charging pretty fancy prices for that meat that's the only meat in town mr cartwright cost me a lot to get it liable to cost you a lot more mister you went out and butchered the meat supply of the whole paiute nation you're risking an indian war oh come now friend i have nothing against the indians what i always say is fair game is fair game hey pat why don't we sell some of our stock to mr badette here and the pirates can have the antelope to themselves again what stock you talking about son don't you know about the ponderosa we got more prime cattle you have real prime bee feast of the sierras i'll tell you what i'll do mr cartwright i'll take all you've got you can name your own price if you charge ten dollars a pound for antelope meat what'll you be charging for beef all i can get if you think that's out of line take a look in the saloon see what rot got whiskey's going for or a bag of flour or a pick and shovel i just saw the last side of antelope mr burdette we're out of business not just on these gentlemen of the cartwrights from the ponderosa ranch prime beef cattle as much as you want my assistant early sun no agents well do we do business why not bob we're in the business sell cattle mr badette we have our own way of doing business on the ponderosa we pay an honest day's wages for an honest day's work we expect the same in return nothing more nothing less you referred us mister it's all right thong let's be honest friends i need your cattle i'm willing to pay you the best price you'll ever get i have a cold storage tunnel out there full of ice from the sierras it's the only ice in town if you're going to sell in virginia city you'll have to sell to me anyhow i say let's get together we'll both clean up we ain't hurting for customers mr burnett any miner in town can come up to the ponderosa and buy all the meat he needs and we don't intend to profit from his hunger profit from their hunger you think i was twisting those fellas arms to get them in here every minute they can spare they used to dig for silver i'm doing them a service my son is right the ponderosa is a business but there's more involved here than profits i'm sorry mr badet no deal why not i'm offering you top dollar and charging top dollar to people who can't afford to pay maybe you need to take them down [Music] i told you about your temper i'm sorry about this gentleman but we can't let it interfere with our negotiations our negotiations are over i want to warn you again stop slaughtering the wild herds if you don't want a war in your hands you'll follow this advice the pirates can be unpleasant wanna kill me one of them cartwrights someone what are you gonna learn there's more than one way of getting what you want are you sure mr burdette i'm sure they'll sell to me before i'm through but i'll never sell cattle to anyone else [Music] what do you think of virginia city sure is growing up ain't you sure it is but harris now this place is busier than an esther hornets where you picture to go oh i got a little digging to do up six mile canyon you know back in cane tuck i never thought that i'd be living on a mountain a solid silver kind of takes a man's mind off other things though about them cut rates there they are don't you let her take your mind off those cattle you get some people together and come on over first thing in the morning we'll fix you up by golly i'll do that first thing in the morning and i want to thank you all that's a real neighborly thing to do i bet them two boys make mighty good help when it comes to digging don't you mr harris we sure do yeah well that'll be even better when we get a little beef on their bones but we'll see you bye boys you heard what they're fixing to do sure the cartwrights are going to sell beef direct to the miners that'll wreck this product it could if those cattle reach virginia city don't you stop them let's just say i don't look with favor upon any unnecessary competition if anyone's looking someone tell them i'm investigating the places of a bucket of blood correct [Music] you were just about to buy me a drink [Music] how did you guess i suppose i don't have a knack for certain things i'm sure you have oh um there's some kind of a rule about women frequenting salutes oh didn't you know this is virginia city anything goes exactly my sentiments happen [Music] well it isn't exactly the palace hotel in san francisco but it'll have to do my name's glory delacy and it's all right i've been in here before well then you'll know what kind of whiskey to water it's all one kind rock that now let's see if you're right a bartender a bottle of your very finest why is it that a new mining camp always has the worst kind of whiskey the worst kind of women that wasn't what i was thinking [Music] what were you thinking that you are the only really beautiful thing i've seen in virginia city why haven't i seen you before just gotten down a few days ago well let's celebrate what's your name mark burdett to glory of the comstock load to the comstock loan they say it'll be the biggest and richest strike in history a bonanza a real bonanza and i'm gonna get my share of it you're not exactly dressed for the part well you don't think i mean to dig for it like those fellas over there there's more than one way of panning for silver yeah i know well i didn't mean it that way why are you here the excitement of a new camp i don't know maybe the hope that this one will be it anyway there's nothing left in california this is gonna be the biggest thing that ever happened make california look sick i can feel it and this time i mean to get my share of it how come you never made it in california smart man like you uh maybe i wasn't smart enough come to think of it i could ask you the same question couldn't i don't to the future when we both have what we want you can't drink to it as long as you're buying the drinks mr bedet i'll drink to anything i'm gonna be rich the richest man in town he's wishing you luck what i mean to say is that from now on i don't want anyone else buying you drinks you mean you want to take care of everything i'm going to take care of everything 20 40 60 80. 100 mr cartwright and i sure want to thank you you can have more cattle if you want uh that's pretty near all we can afford right now but as soon as i get a dozen more feet down to my diggins i'll come back and buy you a whole ranch hey there comes old tuqua i thought he's supposed to be up on the rim he's riding like they're some trouble anything wrong more new diggers ben cartwright too many like the trees of the force he's pulling you there mr cartwright i'll bet there ain't a hard rock man left in california unless he's too sick to walk man who chased the mirage maybe so maybe not but somebody's going to hit it over there to virginia city and nobody knows who yet well my boys have got them thanks again and just wait till then women see a square meal walking in on the hall bye [Music] what's the matter pops you've come from california adam you double the riders in the room we'll start losing cattle i go back tell them now you've had a hard ride you're going to have the steamboat springs camp for a while i'll put another man up on the rim well we could have got a lot more than twenty dollars ahead for those cabinets we made a fair profit that's all the ponderosa asks well what about the other ranches i spoke to the other settlers they won't boost up their prices what are you on more money for anyhow little joe you ain't going no place [Music] we're eating steak tonight get ready so remember i'll take care of the witness to be left alive [Music] get him [Music] don't you [Music] the kids what are we going to tell the kids [Music] it's all over town throne fever's running high against the indians did you have to kill that way them cattle didn't get to virginia city did they all right they didn't but you could have stopped short of murder you know any other way mr burdette the card rights would have come around out of up the price until they had no choice someday you're going to learn it takes more than money to make a real killing thorn you're a monster i never should have taken up with you again you need me burdette remember we have a murder charge hanging over us back in st louis or do you forget about that prison god i killed so you could get to be a free man again [Music] how do you arm three kings all right boys party's over we got some more work to do i thought we'd done enough thorn no job's only half done there's still the other half yeah what's that time there's plenty riled up against the indians for killing them miners well they're getting the posse together to go after them yeah i know that's why we got to get the indians stood up against the miners that way we put the cartridge plumb in the middle and what's on your mind killing this and paiutes for having massacre those poor hard working minus why don't we let the posse go after him because the party might stop long enough to ask questions i don't like questions you mean like who really killed those miners what's the idea i told you i don't like questions you really are smart aren't you thorn smart enough to know a dead man can't talk even to a [ __ ] what's the name of that indian at work for the cartwrights did you hear me turquoise all right boys let's get moving we got to get to him before somebody else does get [Music] now [Music] [Music] it was the diggers from sun mountain [Music] some of my people saw them as they drove the cattle toward the waters are you sure when a marker the piou does not lie the diggers kill the deer in the antelope they cut down the pinyon tree and the paiute has no bread and now he cuts down my young men it's like california all over again whatever they touch they kill why would anybody want to kill tukwa vengeance some strange notion of vengeance it just don't make sense paul then miners is all killed with bullets i would use errors i guess he didn't have much chance to tell him that what will my young men say when i tell them of their brother's murder you must keep them in hand with a mocker let the ponderosa find the men who did this i am an old man leading a thousand stallions today i can stop my young braves i do not know if i can tomorrow we will return for tuqua [Music] let's find out who did this i know who mark burdette wait a minute adam don't you think you're pushing this a little bit i know you don't like burdette but you heard when am i gonna say some miners did this but that's no minor at the moment he's the only man who stands to make a profit by starting trouble between the ranchers and the miners not to mention the indians oh we've got nothing to go on we listen adam we may ride into virginia city and hang an innocent man well he has a point there adam we have no proof you've met burdette how much proof do you need enough to know that we've got the right man why don't you let me go into virginia city and snoop around see what i can pick up alone sure if we all go in together everyone will see us i go in by myself i won't be noticed might not be a bad idea paul maybe now now you take care of yourself little joe don't let burdette sell you half interest in his business might not be a bad investment little joel maybe i want to ride in with you huh of course i'd be less noticed if i rode down the main street with a couple of wild steers don't worry i'll take care of myself not anybody even a man like mr burdette shoot down innocent men just for a few dollars not just a few dollars horse a bonanza [Music] [Music] joe cartwright just wrote him alone he's taking quite a chance isn't he riding into virginia city alone especially wood gets around the card right to sign with the pirates what do you think would happen to him if it did who knows almost anything i wouldn't want him hurt bad i have a feeling that joe cartwright and i are gonna be friends yeah good friends hey kid you talking to me mister yeah i'm talking to you you're muttering little [Applause] skunk [Applause] one of them cockrites and they're siding with those modern thieving pious hi somebody get a rope we're gonna hang ourselves an engine lover nobody's gonna hang this boy we got three men dead over those pilots i don't say joe cott right here's any part of it we started this you yeah so what son you're fired i don't want to see you around my place anymore there you go take him into my office through what is this anybody want to argue about anything oh did i hurt you i don't think you could hurt me ma'am i don't understand those miners out in the street they wanted to hang me why you don't know well i might have sent two groups out to buy cattle one of them went down to your place that's right we sold them about half dozen head the other went from gold hill down to at carson they found both groups murdered cattle were gone what makes them think it was the pirates one of the miners man named harris managed to stay alive he recognized one of the indians a fellow called tuqua that's a lie easy joe he said it not me anyway that's why this took was dead they would have hung him anyway took was not that kind of a man he'd never take a part in anything like this mr but that you helped me out there on the street i i kind of think of us as friends you can believe me about tuqua no i don't want to believe it drop it it's robert what do you mean what i said it's all over now this indian whatever his name was his name was tuqua all right that took wild anyway he's dead now and he deserved to die he department message but he didn't mr badet not tuko i know how do you know young fool how do you know i told you he was identified yeah that's right you told me thanks for the help followed by a drink someday man do you know where to find me i'll find you you're pretty nice to that kid it's my job being nice to people for paying customers you mean he wasn't a paying customer and you are aren't you mr patek you bought me three drinks or was it four i didn't count look what's bothering you you if you want to know what about me i don't want you fooling around with anyone else do you hear i told you i'm gonna be the biggest man in this town then god have mercy on this town i'm sorry gloria i didn't mean that i'm glad you did it because now i don't owe you a thing for those three drinks what's bothering you you act as though i've done something wrong what have i done i'm not sure but if it's what i'm thinking what are you thinking maybe just maybe it was
