name here perhaps this will relieve your mind us deputy marshall i can't say i'm sorry to see you who are they the clevenger brothers friends of yours hardly that but you may have made a terrible mistake just be thankful that you're still alive and i'll be thankful that i've reached the end of a long trail the clevengers were wanted in california for bank robbery i had the um unpleasant duty of killing their older brother he was caught robbing sluice boxes oh so you were the one i was only performing my official [Music] mr duty welcome to the bottles from what adam tells me we're greatly in your debt well i'm happy that i was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time we'll try to make you stay here a very comfortable one please thank you [Music] anything else you want to tell me i still can't believe it pop i mean i'm not selling the cleveland just short toughest bunch of renegades i've ever known but i just can't imagine them taking a shot at me you never know with that bunch i'll get clevenger and his boys have made their own loss for so long you never know when they might step over the line and you did have the rat's payroll with you they must have thought it was somebody else now believe me adam i know how you feel but the marshall did have the warrant for them well one thing for certainly isn't too upset about it but come on we've got a guest to take care of we'll decide later what to tell you clevenger if he gives us a chance to talk hmm the bucolic life is not for gerald essex why in the upstairs room thanks son well one would scarcely expect to encounter the ep out here in the wilderness well little joe's mother was louisiana french he likes to play around with him you mean you actually use this oh i fool around with it just for fun he's faster than griez lightning mr escape come on joey show him on god brother you should never have given those two a chance to show off oh [Laughter] you know they really have no intention of killing each other he has an admirable skill why come out with a hat horse you'll never get anywhere poking at him you say nevertheless your technique is not quite flawless when you faint to the left you're a bit off balance oh god oh god hmm you know you could hurt somebody with that lost the button off the point so i did this might have been fatal violence as such is vulgar any man who in anger takes a human life becomes a brother of the apes he's an aesthetically impoverished man don't you think so oh yes sir i reckon and yet the skills and rhythms of disciplined violence have beauty like a painting by reuben served by the celli unfettered by personal emotion yes there to that simple word can be traced the downfall of most artists and many human creatures emotion you know that's a very interesting observation mr esquitt i don't think i could cast you in the mold of an average i've been told that well i think the elegance and hospitality of your home have made me forget my original mission i'm here to visit an old friend would you happen to know a mr jason blaine what do you say yeah oh yes no him know him very well and his wife wife jason married oh yes about a year they were married right in this very room then you do know him well well jason has always been a little hard to know but uh mariette is practically a part of our family mariette what a charming name yes uh her father was a very dear friend of mine when he died he left the raising of marriott almost entirely to my supervision jason blaine married how very very interesting is she a pretty girl well we always thought so but of course we could be slightly prejudiced oh no my dear adam i have a feeling i can trust your judgment in such matters time to eat please oh good could i uh freshen up a bit before supper oh of course i'll show you to your room [Music] adam what are you staring at oh i didn't realize i was look i know you feel bad about the clevengers but it's like eska told hoss and me bob and

substantial friends good night good night mrs did you sure enough have a little tiger capital tail sure that house makes the most wonderful audience doesn't it i hope you'll go along with my little whimsly and wanting to surprise jason we were such close friends and it's been such a long time since i've seen it are you sure you can find the house my dear adam your directions are most explicit don't forget we want you to spend at least a few days with us at the ranch house i know adam and the boys will want to take you to my cougar hunt ben i can't tell you how much i appreciate your hospitality and as i told you before there's nothing in life i find as exciting as a hunt thank you again both of you adam when you get through with the bank meet me at the hotel we'll have a bite to eat [Music] pardon me dear lady if i startled you but i had wrongly assumed that no one was home and it started to leave i'm glad that i was in error you're mrs blaine yes i am the cartwright's told me all about you are you a friend of the cartwrights and an old and dear friend of your good husband gerald esketh is my name shirley jason has mentioned me no i don't recall well that is i've never met any of jason's friends did you meet him in california i did indeed my dear child jason's mineralogy has surely been worthwhile he's found a true jewel i don't know if you're making fun of me or not but jason is not at home then perhaps you wouldn't mind if i waited a while for him ben and adam have some business to transact in town and i'm a total stranger here oh yes of course how rude of me would you come in mr escape thank you won't you sit down mr rescue thank you i'll make you some tea how very thoughtful of you what a fine likeness of jason yes it is isn't it okay jason good morning how are you adam hi did your friend find you oh who's that your friend from california daryl esquid no is there anything wrong uh no everything's all right uh ask it uh is he here in town well he stopped over at our ranch last night and he rode into town this morning with us went to your house he wanted to surprise you thank you adam [Music] you have some very interesting things marianne i couldn't help but notice this jewel box oh jason took that for a saying some ore i'm afraid he isn't very practical but he is sweet we've been so happy here i'm sure you have we thought most highly of jason in san francisco how elegant these must look on you oh they're not real pearls but your beauty would make them appear priceless please may i see them on you oh jason darling there you are look who's here my dad jason after all of these years asked they're reviving the old case in sacramento jason and they couldn't very well proceed without the chief prosecution witness you is this something you two gentlemen would rather discuss privately no no not at all my business is a law enforcement officer's public business and i'm sure that you and your husband have no secrets from each other i'll fix you some tea jason [Music] have you told her of this matter no how could i she's almost part of the cartwright family how much have you told her nothing i detest emotional display what's the matter jason nothing marriott nothing you'd understand you're not aware of all the facts mariah he has a right to be a reluctant witness his testimony will be against the most sinister forces in northern california they may seek retaliation retaliation however he'll be in my protective custody jason i trust you to be ready for the journey shall we say at noon tomorrow does that allow you enough time you trust me i amend that i trust your wife to see that you're ready thank you for the team area it was indeed a pleasure meeting [Music] i should never have tried to run away from it [Music] jason what do you mean i loved you so much i thought i had a right to a little happiness but you did have and you still have i won't let you go back we can leave and we can make another star don't you see that that's what i tried to do and this is the result of it nothing will change i've got to go back with him but he said that it would be dangerous i don't intend to lose you jason i love you much too much huh oh have you seen escape he's probably still with jason did you get that matter straightened out at the bank oh yeah but uh but i was leaving i ran into jason and i told him that uh esketh was looking for him and he uh he seemed very upset about it i think that's if there's here's a friend to see jason or uh is he here in an official capacity i don't know escort is the united states deputy marshal because what do we really know about jason came in here swift married off her feet of course he's done very well here he's been here he's been very good to her i suppose that's all you could ask of any man yeah well i'd feel better if i had a talk with mariette and jason just ask them if there was anything wrong what do you think i think it's a good idea and also remind mariette that we still have family for as long as she needs us look while you're over there i'll see your dreams going someplace my dear jason i was young asked it was over five years ago time gets away from a man doesn't it i'm curious jason why didn't you go back to ohio my arm isn't quite that long you know i'm a mineralogist yes i traced you through arizona idaho and all over the comstock load you changed your name a couple of times but i found you well you can't take me out of nevada territory hear the extradition paper i trust jason you're growing tired of trying to run away everything legal and aboveboard huh always which reminds me i must present my credentials to your local judge i had a little official business on the way in billy and bob cleventy you saw the clevengers through my sights they're both dead [Music] what about gideon the old man always a good friend to you wasn't he jason no i haven't seen him yet but i'll plan to see him before he sees me you um seem to have built up a nice little business here why don't you get it over with why did you kill me and have done with it no jason i'll kill you because that's what i came here for but i'll pick my own time and my own place besides i intend to get much better acquainted with your wife she's lovely jason completely lovely hello marianne oh adam i'm so glad to see you what's the matter is there something wrong oh no nothing it's just that i haven't seen you for so long where's jason oh he went to the office to uh pick up some things mariette you're just about as close to being a sister as i'll ever have now a big part of that pleasure is being able to help you tell me what happened when gerald esket came here oh nothing happened i think mr esquith is a very charming person we uh we even had tea oh adam i just can't lie to you i've tried but i just can't that's more now tell me about it jason has to go to california to be witness in a trial well that doesn't sound so terrible i know but the men that he has to testify against they threatened to kill him you see that's why jason left california i see did he talk to judge rand about this oh that was my first suggestion but jason didn't think it would do any good well jason's upset i think i'm in a better position to decide than he is so why don't you and i have a talk with judge rand i think we'll find it jason can make a legal deposition right here in virginia city oh adam could we do something like that i don't know until we ask will we come on get your hair all right i'm sure when we know all the facts adam my dear mariette what a pleasant surprise this is forgive me your honor i am united states deputy marshal gerald esketh you're in my federal district marshall if you have business here you should have presented your documents to me i fully intended to do so sir as a matter of fact i was on my way to your chambers when your uh messenger intercepted me mrs blaine states that her husband's life will be in danger if he if he gives certain testimony in sacramento some extent she may be right i myself will not feel too secure as his pledge bodyguard you will note there sir that this is the state versus hadley murdoch and a number of john does all of whom comprise a political machine known as the murdoch gang now these are infamous men sir grown fat on terrorism and plunder so rich and powerful indeed that they now have most of the state of california under their rule of dread and fear blaine is the key witness we on the side of the law earnestly believe that jason blaine is the one man who can send these culprits to the gallows well your husband's duty is clear mariette and we can't very well call out the militia to guard him well i was planning a trip to sacramento in a week or so i could change my plans go along with you would make mariette feel better oh it would adam it would anything to relieve this dear lady's anxieties and rest assured we'll be joined by other officers in sacramento oh i'm very grateful to you to all of you uh mr esketh i'm terribly sorry to have caused you all this trouble there's no trouble my dear on the contrary i was delighted to see revealed that jewel which money cannot buy loyalty marshall you and adam both i i'd like to talk to you if it's uh if it's all right with you mariette of course not adam jason will be so pleased to know that you're going with him thank you gentlemen thank you it's about the killing of the clevelander brothers ah yes uh distasteful duty i assure you but there is a warrant out in california for their arrest i was talking to your father adam he was telling me that gideon clevenger came to see him yeah but he didn't seem to want to make any trouble strange man get in clevenger he'll brood about the death of his sons then he'll decide to take the law into his own hands he can be very dangerous if he makes up his mind to it well the thought of any further bloodshed is completely repelling to me i'll rest a whole lot easier when you're out of town on your way back to sacramento then you think that this um gideon clevenger will make the death of his two sons a personal issue between himself and me i think that precisely i see jason jason i have the most wonderful news i've just come from talking to judge rad you what oh it's all right darling he's going to write a letter to a friend in sacramento a judge and then adam is going to go with you no no he can't do that but jason adam only wants to help well well he can't go with me but why tell me why because if adam cartwright goes with me he'll never get there alive jason what are you trying to tell me can't we make one move in our life without the cartwrights getting mixed up in it but the cartwrights are my best friends and they're the best friends you ever had i don't want to talk about it come on this isn't like us i'm your wife and i have a right to know the truth well i have told you the truth tell me something why did you say that if adam went with you he would be killed because that is the truth too jason i have never asked you anything about your past life before because it just wasn't important but now it is now do they want you as a witness for something you saw or for something you did what difference does it make eskis told you about the murdock gang didn't he yes well that gang isn't gonna let me get the sacramento alive not even with mr esketh and adam to protect you don't you realize that escus was sent here to kill me once i leave here i'll be dead before i can get as far as the ponderosa but why would anybody want to kill you because that's why he came here he is a hired paid killer now try to understand that [Music] jason there must be something we can do there must be what you want me to get a gun go up against him he would love that self-defense everything above board legal then why don't you go to judge rand tell him the truth and he'll protect you you saw his papers he is a marshal he has every right in the world to take me in and you're gonna stand there and let him do it oh what else can i do we can go away we can go east jason please please they can't reach that far even if we have to spend the rest of our lives hiding i don't care i'd much rather have you that way than not have you at all please if we only could we only could it would be like starting from the beginning no west no past tense oh jason jason we must do it we must we can i know we can you get some things packed there's still lesketh don't forget i tried this once before oh but don't forget you didn't have me before now i can handle him i think i know a lady's man when i see one yes i know how to deal with him no i can't let you do that he's too dangerous oh no darling really he won't be with me please trust me trust me now hurry hurry and get something packed please adam i find this a land of unexpected pleasures little did i dream that you'd be making the trip to sacramento with me well since i am don't you think it uh might be a good idea to let me in on the truth isn't that a rather strange way to put a question at him well as pawn i both told you we think a great deal of mariette and so do i think a lot of her that's why i tried to spare her the seriousness of jason's case then he's not just a missing witness no a missing criminal but on your honor adam this is to go no further in virginia city by turning state's evidence he'll be able to return here with no damage to his so-called reputation i appreciate whatever protection you can give mariette you know i believe we think alike i even had him listed in the documents as a witness not as one of the accused thank you for telling me i'd like to get the best lawyer you can find adam i don't want you to think it rude of me but under the circumstances i think it's best not to return to the ponderosa i'll take a room here at the hotel and if it's convenient for you we'll leave should we say first thing in the morning fine with me i'll bring your luggage in with me and bring along your best suit adam i know some pretty girls in sacramento and perhaps we can forget some of the more unpleasant aspects of the martial's duties very good if i um seemed a little cool towards was only because of my concern for mariette well i better let paul know what's happened see you in the morning [Music] with it no let me try it [Music] hello get in we haven't seen you for some time save your words judge i know gerald esketh in this town now where is he i really don't know gideon look at me when i talk to you i don't like fellers who can't look straight you've lost three sons trying to fight a private war why don't you just find yourself a rocking chair live to a ripe old age i've got a better idea that'll help a lot more people you deliver eskip to me i'll get out of virginia city and stay out you don't i got 20 more men anxious to ride in here you're not serious i have offered you a fair deal get me that back shooter [Music] come in oh my dear adam they tell me gideon clevenger's looking for me he's threatened to tear the whole town apart unless you're handed over to him he seems a truly dedicated scoundrel faithful to his purpose honest to a fault i want you to know that pawn i'll be backing you up thank you kindly adam shall we uh look into the matter but here's certainly a cool one i'll have to admit that what are you gonna do make our friend a sporting proposition he's in the saloon clevenger can you hear me i can hear you asketh it's a voice i'm not likely to forget you made this person a clevenger so let's keep it that way there's no sense in harming innocent people you've made yourself a deal but if the cartwrights or anyone else tries to get into it i'm cutting my boys loose you're free to change your mind anytime thank you friend but i find the arrangement most satisfactory i've already planned my strategy i don't like this adam i'm beginning to think esketh knows what he's doing [Music] make your play you filthy little back shooter you first my dear clevenger [Music] oh you better finish the job ask us that'd be better get the doctor see what we can do with cleveland [Music] how is cleveland you proclaim he wants to see you i took the liberty of dropping in without knocking but i was sure the door was locked you grow lovelier each time i see you i must look aside a sight indeed the very kind and inspired wordsworth to rhapsodize she was a phantom of delight when first she gleamed upon my sight now you know that you much prefer those sophisticated san francisco women to a country girl like myself i hope someday to prove the error of that statement by putting you beside them a ruby in a diadem of glass oh you mean the ones from the barbary coast what lies has jason been telling you about me why none none it's just that i know so little about san francisco it was only a chance remark and please accept my apology i'm thin skinned when it comes to matters of honor oh i apologize too i had planned to look much more presentable the next time we met then it was rude of me to arrive so unexpectedly but i thought i better tell you the judge ran suggested that i start back to sacramento immediately oh so soon you don't know how lonely it gets i mean jason has to work such long hours i've never met anyone like you gerald a little more time won't matter could you come to the hotel to let me know when jason is ready just as long as you aren't too impatient now let us not misunderstand my honorable intentions i understand your intentions perfectly [Music] um you're gonna learn just who you've been playing games with who what are you he's murdoch's hatchet man around the embarcadero they call him the dude butcher boy it's my reckoning you came here to lead jason blaine to the slaughter because jason knows too much jason was mixed up with murdoch he was a spotter for the bunch that's easy for an essayer whenever he'd see gold bullion he'd telescope that slimy killer would lead his knight riders claiming they were vigilantes that was a good cover for him but jason got second he quit and ran away jason was too soft for esca shooting parties i saw him later in virginia city but i figured let a feller go straight that's trying hard and your oldest son asketh backshot my boy our california stamp mail while his outfit looted the other two you know about men they wasn't killers they heard asketh was headed this way they mistook adam for him that fooled jason why couldn't he tell us the trouble he was in there's a thing called reputation ben especially if you're married to a woman like marietta i'd swear she never knew that jason had a record [Music] where's jason was escaped here yes he hit me and he slapped me and he wanted me to tell did he tell you who he really is yes and he said terrible things about jason where is jason where is he where is he the uh silver corazon mine i'm supposed to meet him there he gave me a little trail map he took it it's gone he took it he took the map he'll kill jason oh calm down now listen i'll send somebody to look after you now don't go away stay right here okay jason jason you can't get away jason can you hear me would you like to hear what happened to your wife she died in my arms jason i held it i watched you can you take that and run away with it [Music] come on come on [Music] so [Music] ah [Music] hey um [Music] oh the unruly emotions jason but don't be ashamed because they've destroyed you they've conquered more men than napoleon's armies go ahead go ahead and shoot i'll bring it right to you i'm here we're in here we're in here [Music] don't turn around jason mary she's all right i'm taking you in escape it's hot in here isn't it or is it just the uncomfortable circumstances i find myself in no it might have worked on clevenger but it won't work on me my dear adam you don't think that i'd be childish so childish as to pull the same chestnut twice i wish you hadn't tried it i suppose i i knew all along that this would happen someday thank you for your hospitality man i never dreamed that sheryl rescue who would be defeated by emotions i can't believe you ever had any oh yes i did i was in love you know i was in love with gerald asking we'll miss you very much thank you ben thank you for everything judge rand said it shouldn't be more than a year and that will be the longest year of my life well i'm glad you made the decision on your own jason when you come back your house will be here waiting thank you ben goodbye we'll be waiting too things will be just the same thank you yes you
