All language subtitles for Little House on the Prairie - 8x14 - The Legacy

I can't believe it. 100 bucks
and the thing still doesn't work.

Oh, does it matter? I sort of enjoy
saunas in the middle of summer.

Aw, come on.
Don't be that way.

You know you enjoy hunting
antiques just as much as I do.

I know.

It's just it always seems we're
on some back road somewhere.

That's where the
best pieces are found.

You know that.

Do me a favor.

What's that?

- If we find some really good bargains...
- Mm-hmm?

Promise me that we'll
buy a new truck

with air conditioning
that works.

All right, all right. I promise,
I promise. And cheer up, huh?

Oh! This is it.

- Yeah.
- Turn right at the next road.

Auctioneer: High bid $75,
$80 bid for it. $80 bid. Now $90.

$90 bid for it...

Auctioneer: Going once,

going twice,

and sold!

The next item up is
this beautiful table.

The piece is
all hand-carved,

and we've placed its origin to be
somewhere in the mid to late 1880s.

It bears
its crafter's Mark.

It needs to be stripped,

but there's a fine piece of
furniture under that paint.

I'm going to start
the bidding at $50.

- $50.
- $50 bid for it.

- 55.
- High bid 50... 55's the bid for it.

- 55, $60 bid for it.
- 60?

High bid 65,
$70 bid for it.

$70's the money.
Bid now at 80.

- $80 bid for it. High bid 80.
- 85!

85's the bid for it.

85, going 90.
Bid 90? 90 going...

Well, that's the last of it,
sven.

Sign on
the bottom line.

Your men made real
good time this trip.

Well, you can thank
Jack for that.

He wanted to get back
before the weather changed

or something
like that.

Oh, Charles,
don't you be telling tales

about who wanted
to get back too soon.

You're the one who forgot his long Johns,
remember?

Anyway, thank you for
bringing the table. It's beautiful.

Well,
sorry it took so long. We were pretty busy.

Listen to me,
Charles,

if you decide to become
a craftsman full-time,

I'll buy anything
you can make.

That's very kind, sven,
but I just do it for a hobby.

We'd better be
getting back.

You're going to be freezing
your seat off for sure.

You're right,
Jack.

Thanks again. We'll
see you next week.

Thank you.

It's starting
to turn cold.

You all right?

Rubbing that arm
of yours all day.

I feel
a little tingly.

Well, must be
the cold.

Besides old age,
of course.

Ha ha!
Come on, Jack.

Sounds like you're
ready for a rocking chair.

Sometimes it don't
seem that far off.

Ah, you work circles
around the young'uns

in walnut grove,
and you know it.

Yeah... maybe.

You know, I'm going to be
pushing 60 in a few more years.

The end of that old tunnel is
gonna be staring right at me.

And you'll see.

When you get to
be as old as me,

you're going to
feel the same way.

Well, thanks for the advice,
methuselah.

What do you say we
stop and make camp?

Build a little fire and you can
warm up those old bones of yours.

Let's do it.

If we'd known it was this bad,
we could have stayed in a hotel room.

Yeah.

Eh, we'll just
have to make do.

- Charles?
- Yeah?

Leave the lamp for
a minute, will you?

Sure.

Do you ever want to
do something different...

Just for the sake
of doing it?

I don't know. Like what?

Just...

Different.

Something...

Well...

Important-like.

Leaving your stamp...

So the world will know
you've been there.

You want to
be famous, Jack?

No, nothing
like that.

Well... maybe just
a little bit.

I mean...

You get born...

You grow up...

You get married,
and you build a house or two...

Have children...

And you work whatever
you can to pay for it all...

Farming, hauling freight,
whatever.

And the kids
grow up.

They move away.

Suddenly,
there you are.

You're facing
the idea...

That never once did
you do something...

Special...

Just for you to
be remembered by.

Well, like what?

I don't know. That's
just it. I don't know!

Something!
Something...

That lasts...

That tells folks
that Jack Prescott

once walked
on this earth...

And left this behind
to remind them.

Well, you sure are in a mood,
aren't you?

Yeah.

Boy, I...

I'm not sure I even know
what I'm talking about.

Good night, Charles.

Good night, Jack.

Jack:
Uh, Charles?

Leave the lamp.

Sure.

Jack... jack,
what's the matter?

My arm. I ain't
feeling it.

My chest
is on fire.

- Just lie down.
- I can't breathe!

Just lie down.

I can't breathe!

- I can't breathe!
- Jack!

- Charles, I can't breathe!
- Jack, just lie down!

Just lie
down, Jack!

- I can't... I can't...
- Jack, just lie down!

- I can't breathe!
- Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack.

Jack.

Jack.

Alden: We render to you, o lord,
the body of your son Jack.

We ask that you welcome
him to your kingdom

and give strength to his
loved ones who are left behind.

Amen.

Now, ma,
you must realize there is no other way.

And you can't stay
here by yourself!

Now, Sara
has agreed...

Matthew. I'll get by.

I always have before.

Mother,
Matthew's right.

You can't run this farm
by yourself.

Besides, pa couldn't
raise a crop.

What makes you
think you can?

Now, listen here,
both of you!

No, ma,
you listen.

Now,
Sara and I are entitled to our fair share

with this
place, too,

and the only way
that any of US

are going to get it is to sell.

I'll not have you selling

what your father
spent years building.

I'm staying.

Mother, you're coming to live with me,
and that's final.

Oh, Mr. Ingalls.

Matthew, I'm sorry
to disturb you.

Is your mom up to
talking for a minute?

Of course, Charles.
Come in, come in.

Dolphia.

I just wanted
to drop by

and leave you these carving
chisels Jack had loaned me.

I thought you'd
like to have them.

Oh...

You keep them, Charles.

Jack only bought them because
he admired your work so much.

He thought maybe one day
he might give it a try, you know?

Well, thank you
very much.

Put them to good use.

Jack would like that.

Well, I'd like to carve
him a proper grave marker,

if it's all
right with you.

Oh, yes, Charles.

I'd be so grateful.

I'll do it,
then.

I'd best be
on my way.

Oh,
won't you stay a while? Have some coffee.

No, I really have
to be getting back.

I'll stop by and see
you in a few days.

All right.

- Matthew.
- Mr. Ingalls.

Matthew: Now, mother,
Sara has made a generous offer.

Dolphia: I told you,
I'm not selling this farm.

Sara: How will you live?
Where will you get the money?

Dolphia: I'll... Work.
I'll take in sewing.

Matthew: Look,
I'm not going to argue with you anymore.

Now the farm is as
much ours as it is yours.

Now,
I'm going to contact an attorney and see

what Sara and I
can do about it.

Dolphia: You'd do that
to your own mother?

Matthew: You leave
me no choice.

How's it coming?

Just about done.

What do you think?

Charles,
it's beautiful.

Dolly will be
so pleased.

Yeah, make it worth the
3 days it's taken to finish it.

You know,
it's funny... somebody dies,

you usually
feel so helpless.

For once,
I really feel like I can do something.

Must be a good feeling.

Yeah.

He was a good
friend to me.

I'll get it set up this afternoon
and go over to Dolly's

and take her
out to see it.

I'll let you finish up.

Now come on,
you two.

Pick up some wood.
Take it inside here.

How are you?

Good morning.
Name's Josh Bennett.

- Oh, Charles Ingalls.
- Nice to meet you.

Woman: Josh!
I need your help.

Right now,
bertie.

As you can see,
we're just moving in.

Yeah. Just when was
the farm sold?

About 3 days ago.
Land auction.

Seems there was a death,
and the family needed the money,

so I got the place
real cheap.

I see.

Well, I'd better get going.
It was nice meeting you.

A pleasure.

Josh: What do
you need, honey?

Beautiful night.

Yeah.

Late, too.

You said you were
leaving early in the morning.

I'm just not sleepy.

I know it's
hard to believe.

Only two weeks ago,
Jack was trying to tell me his thoughts.

I really didn't understand what he
was saying at the time, but now I do.

He sensed it was going
to turn out this way.

What way?

Charles,
the man died.

And all there is to
remember him is a grave.

And all his
children wanted

was the money they
could get out of the house.

They forced their mother
to go with them.

And today
strangers moved in.

A brand-new sign
on the house.

The old one just
thrown in the dirt,

just tossed away.

And nothing to remind
the world that Jack Prescott

was ever here.

And, god, I don't want
that to happen to me.

I don't want that
to happen to me.

Good afternoon,
sven.

Ah, Charles,
you're early.

I heard about Jack.

It's hard to believe.

Yeah,
it sure is.

Let me show you
something.

Hey, you sold
my table already!

I sold it
for $12.50.

$12.50?

You can't imagine the
stir this piece caused.

Well,
that's wonderful.

Maybe I'll start another
one when I get back home.

I was hoping you'd
say 10 others.

10? Come on,
sven. You know how long it took me just

to make this one.

But you only worked
on it part-time.

Do you remember
the offer I made you?

Sure.

Charles,
there's a fortune to be made here

for you and for me.

The Ingalls name
could become famous.

I figured it out.

There's that large
storage room out back.

It would make
a perfect workshop.

Of course,
you would have to move here, but...

Move here?

Of course. How
else could it work?

I provide the means,
you provide the talent.

And it's a nice town
with good schools.

Well, what
do you say?

Are we
in business?

I don't know,
sven. It's a big decision to make.

I have to think on it a while
and talk it over with my family.

Of course. Talk
to the family,

but I would like
to start soon.

Well, let's get my wagon
unloaded. I'll be on my way.

Mark my word,
Charles.

The name of Ingalls on
a fine piece of furniture

will mean something
for years to come.

I'll think about it.

I know it won't be easy for everyone
having to move to Minneapolis, but...

It's a once-in-a-lifetime
chance.

I just can't pass it up.

Charles,
I can't believe you're serious.

You're ready
to give up the farm

and everything
we've worked for?

Yes, I am.

But you're a farmer.

You've always been
satisfied with that.

Well, I'm not anymore.

I mean, suppose something
happened to me.

What would become
of this place?

Well,
Albert's near grown. He'd help out.

Oh, Caroline, Albert wants to
be a doctor. That's his dream.

I can't ask him
to give that up.

Besides,
with all the money I'd be making,

we could send him
to a better school.

It's Jack,
isn't it?

That's what all
this is about.

You really are afraid of
ending the way he did.

I guess that's
part of the reason.

It's all of
it, Charles.

Jack Prescott
was a fine man,

but he's
no Charles Ingalls.

If he were,
his children couldn't have

turned out the way they did.

If it's a legacy
you're after, Charles,

you can't do better
than our children.

Caroline, I don't know
why I feel so strongly

about this, but I do.

And even if my reasons
are wrong, I have to try.

Charles, I'm scared.

Oh, now, don't be.

Look,
I'll go to Minneapolis alone for 3 months.

That way, I'll know whether or
not this thing is going to work out.

3 months?

With the money
I'm making,

we can get a hired hand
to do the heavy work here.

Oh, Charles.

Caroline, what's 3 months
in return for a better life?

It's what you want?

It is.

Then do it.

"The demand for the
furniture grows by the day.

"We've hired more help,
but the hours are still very long.

"And even though the days
all seem to run together,

it's worth it when I think
of how successful we are."

"I can now send you more
money to help run things there,

"but I can't wait for the
day when we'll be together

"here in Minneapolis.

"My love to all. I miss
each of you dearly.

Love, pa."

Well...

It certainly sounds as if
things are working out the way

pa thought
they would.

Yeah, but, still,
moving to Minneapolis...

Don't you
want to?

I don't know.

- Well, it's real big.
- I've been there.

I know we'll miss
all our friends.

That's true.

But we've moved
before,

and we always
made new ones.

As long as we're together,

I don't care
where we move.

Oh, I'll get it.

Good afternoon,
young fellow.

I'd like to
talk to your ma.

Caroline:
I'm Mrs. Ingalls.

Oh, howdy, ma'am.

I read this
notice in town

about you needing
some farm help.

- Oh?
- Hmm.

Oh, am I too late?

Uh...

Well, no,
not exactly...

Mister...

Cooper. Uriah Cooper.

That's our
last name, too.

Hey, is that so?

Well, could be
we're related.

I don't think so.

Caroline: To be perfectly frank,
Mr. Cooper,

you don't seem like
the farming type.

Oh, well, don't let
these traveling duds

fool you, Mrs. Ingalls.

Oh, I've spent my share of
time behind a plow and harrow.

Well...

You are the first
person I've seen.

Yeah, and probably
the last.

I mean,
with the wages that you're offering to pay.

All right,
Mr. Cooper.

Caroline:
We'll give it a try.

Now, the upper field
needs plowing,

and the side of the
barn needs repairing.

Yeah, well, the...

Well, the day's
near burned out,

so I'll start
with the barn.

Fine.

Albert,
please show Mr. Cooper where the tools are.

Albert:
Yes, ma'am.

Yep, Emma's going
to be real happy.

I'm sure she will,
Mr. Hastings.

Never paid that much for a
single piece of furniture before.

Worth it, though.

Giddyap!

Excuse me,
gentlemen.

I couldn't help but
admire that table.

A fine piece
of workmanship.

Thank you. This is the
craftsman responsible.

Oh, glad to
meet you, mister...

Ingalls.
Charles Ingalls.

I'm sven johanssen.

Addison fisk.

Do you happen to have another
one of those in your inventory?

Ah, don't I wish?

The waiting list is
getting longer by the day.

Which reminds me,
I'd best get back to work.

Pleasure to meet
you, Mr. Fisk.

Of course, we can
put you on the list,

but I couldn't promise
delivery for several months.

Oh, that's too bad.

My wife's birthday
is in two weeks,

and she really
would be pleased.

Uh, may I ask how
much you're charging?

$12.50.

Mr. Fisk:
Hmm, very steep.

Well, supply and demand.

Of course. I'll tell you what I'll do,
Mr. Johanssen.

I'll give you $12.50 now

and double it
on delivery,

if you'll put me at
the top of your list.

Double?

Well, it's as much
as I can afford.

Oh, it's very
generous, to be sure.

Come. I'll make
out the order.

More pie, Mr. Cooper?

Oh, no, thank you.

3 pieces is just
about right.

How's that barn
wall coming, Mr. Cooper?

Well, I'd better be
turning in early.

Morning's going to
come awful fast.

About that barn wall,
Mr. Cooper...

Oh, I get these terrible
hunger pangs around midnight.

Would it be all right?

Of course!

About the
barn wall...

Oh, sure, sure.
Sometime tomorrow.

Good night.

Never saw anyone
eat so much.

I was hoping that pie would
be enough for tomorrow.

He sure is taking his
time with that barn wall.

How's it look
to you, Albert?

Like pa's going
to have to redo it.

Well...

Maybe he'll be
better at plowing.

Good night.

See you
tomorrow.

A long day.

It sure is.

Charles, you
look exhausted.

That can't
be helped.

Got to fill
these orders

while they're
still coming in.

You think
they'll stop?

You never can tell.

Owning one of these
tables has caught on.

But it could be
just a fad.

I don't believe in taking
a good thing for granted.

Sven: Let me tell you
something, Charles.

You're wrong about these.

The design,
the workmanship...

They're too good to go
out of fashion. I know.

I've been in this business for a long time,
and I know.

We couldn't make enough to
satisfy the demand if we live to be 100.

Wait a minute. I don't
intend to be working that long.

Oh, well,
maybe I exaggerate.

But we are going to be
rich men. Count on it.

I only wish we had
more work space.

We could use more men,
but where would we put them?

I've been thinking
about that.

What about
a night shift?

You mean work
around the clock?

Charles:
Sure. Why not?

Oh, you couldn't handle
a schedule like that.

Aw, come on, sven.

I'm in here almost
all the time anyway.

Just put a cot over
there in the corner.

I'll grab sleep
whenever I can.

Well, you're in charge.

I'll post the jobs at
the hiring hall tomorrow.

Fine.

Good night.

Good night, sven.

Albert.

Why aren't
you asleep?

I can't.

What's
the matter?

It's that Mr. Cooper.

What'd he
do now?

Well,
he sure can't seem to do anything right.

I went by the upper
field after school today,

and he hadn't
done anything.

Why should pa have to work so
hard to pay somebody like that?

He eats enough
for 3 people.

It's not right.

I know,

but we do so
need the help.

I've already talked
to James about that.

Between the two of US,
we can handle things.

And do your chores

and do your homework?

It won't be easy,
but we'll manage.

All right, Albert.

With your pa away,
you're the man of the house.

Now,
you go check on his work tomorrow,

and if you still
feel the same way,

you tell him we're
letting him go.

Thanks, ma.

Thank you.

- Now get some sleep.
- Ok.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Is this your idea of an honest day's work,
Mr. Cooper?

What? Hmm.

Oh, hello there,
young fellow.

Well,
I was just giving the horse a breather.

Uh, yeah,
it's starting to get pretty hot.

Well,
I just checked on how hot the horse is.

- Heh heh! Oh, you did, huh?
- Yes, I did.

And I don't think we'll be
needing your help anymore.

- What's that? You saying I'm fired?
- That's it.

Yeah, well...

We'll see what your
ma has to say about that.

Don't bother.
She left it up to me.

- Good-bye, Mr. Cooper.
- Hey, hey, now, hold on.

Now,
you owe me a half a day's pay for today.

For what, sleeping
under that tree?

We don't owe you anything more for that,
Mr. Cooper.

Not even
squatter's rights.

Now, please,
get yourself off this property.

Marvin.

So that's it, huh?

What do
you think?

I see why
they're selling.

Yep. Not bad.

Nice design,
but simple, too.

That's the important
thing.

What's
our capability?

Oh, 25, 30 a week
on a regular basis.

They'll be as good as that,
but they'll sell real cheap.

That's just what
I wanted to hear.

Let's start
breaking it down.

Ok.

Sven, we're out of just about
everything. I made a list here.

If you could pick
these things up for me...

Is there
something wrong?

I don't know.

It's strange.

Haven't had a
new order all week.

Well, in a way,
it's kind of a blessing. We were backed up.

That's what I thought until
these started coming in.

What are they?

Order
cancellations.

I didn't think much
about the first two.

People have second
thoughts after all. But 5?

Yeah, I see
what you mean.

Do you suppose
you were right?

That interest in that
piece of furniture

was just
a passing thing?

I don't know.
I hope not.

Either way, we must
take precautions.

The night shift will
have to be dismissed,

at least for
the time being.

Is it all right if I let the
men finish out the week?

All right.

Oh, and,
Charles...

The next piece
you finish...

Let's keep it
for display.

That didn't seem
necessary in the past.

It is now.

Yeah, it can't hurt.
I'll go talk to the men.

Caroline, voice-over: "Dear Charles,
this will have to be short

"or I'll be
late for work.

"I must be honest,
my love... I am not sorry

"you had to close down
the night shift.

"Working such long hours
had me terribly worried.

"Naturally, I hope the business
doesn't get any worse... I'm sure not.

"By the way, the man I just hired
didn't work out, so we replaced him.

"You just wouldn't
believe the difference.

"Everything is getting
done perfectly now.

"Have to rush. We all
miss you and love you.

Caroline."

Excuse me.

Oh, yes.
Can I help you?

Where'd you get that table
out there on the porch?

- Why do you ask?
- There's no craftsman's Mark.

Well, now, that would surely be
a compliment to the manufacturer.

Those tables
are mass-produced.

Mass-produced?

That's right.

What's that
table sell for?

$4.95. Interested
in purchasing one?

No, I'm not.

I'm interested in finding
out who turns them out.

Oh, east furniture.

They're the biggest outfit
this side of Madison.

Where are they
located?

A few blocks down.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm looking for
the man in charge.

If it's about a job,
I'm the man to talk to.

It's not about a job. It's
about a business opportunity.

Office, over there.

Excuse me. I...

Well, well,
Mr. Ingalls.

I thought I might be
getting a little visit from you.

Is this how you make your living,
stealing another man's design?

Stealing.

That's a rather
serious charge.

Well, what
would you call it?

Get to the point, Ingalls.
What do you want, money?

Forget it. Not a dime.

Suppose I take
you to court.

Fine. Heh!

Who knows?
You might even win.

That is, after
all the appeals.

Might drag on for some time,
and court costs are very expensive.

But if that's what you
want, I can afford it.

Can you?

Let's be philosophical
about this, Ingalls.

Times have changed.

We're in the industrial
age now.

A lot of money
to be made,

too much to be concerned
with certain niceties.

Look, you've had a good run.
You've made a little money.

Now it's my turn.

Business is business.

After all,
it's only a design.

Now, if you'll
excuse me, I'm busy.

It's not just a design! It's my
design! It's got my Mark on it!

Not anymore!

Get him!

Throw him in the street!

Machines.

They'll be a scourge on mankind.

Yeah...

Can't have progress
without them...

Even if it is at the expense
of folks like you and me.

Drink?

Hmm? No, thanks.

At least now both of
US can relax a little.

Skoal.

Skoal.

Ahh!

Especially you.

The way you've
been going...

Yeah,
I didn't realize how tired I really was.

Well,
maybe we'll find another way to get rich.

Oh, this hurts.

Oh.

Oh, sven.

Do you know
something, sven?

What?

I'm glad it's over.

Hmm. You know...

It's a strange
thing.

What's that?

I am, too.

When all of
a sudden, there's...

No time in your life
for anything but work,

how important
can it be?

Not very.

You know why I started
all this? All this working?

Because I wanted
to be remembered.

My initials on
a piece of furniture.

I wanted strangers
to remember me.

I wasn't even giving
my own children

a chance to remember me.

Working the way I was, they
wouldn't even know me.

People are silly.

To the children.

To the children.

Albert! James! Don't
forget to wipe your feet!

Well,
the least you could say is "welcome home."

Charles! Oh!

Oh, I've missed you.

Oh, but
what happened?

Oh, things just didn't
work out the way I planned.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.
You were right.

The children are my legacy.
I don't need anything else.

- And I missed you! Ohh!
- Ha ha ha!

Yeah, I looked around the place.
That hired hand did a nice job.

"Hands," Charles,
not "hand."

You hired more than one?
That's a little expensive.

Hmm, look at
our bank book.

Well,
that's practically every cent I sent you.

James and Albert
took over.

James and Albert
did everything?

Everything.

My, those two.
Hey, where are they?

- Out in the carrot field.
- I'm going to say hi.

- Oh!
- I'll be right back.

Charles: Hey, you two!
You working hard?

- Hey, pa!
- Pa!

Charles: Ha ha!

Ha ha ha!
How you doing?

Terrific. How long
can you stay?

Well, as long as
I can be useful.

You mean we're not
going to Minneapolis?

That's right.

We're not going to Minneapolis.
We're staying right here.

Mind if I join you?

- Mind?
- Heck, no!

- Well, come on! Let's get to work.
- Ok.

Going once,
going twice,

and sold to the
lady from clear lake

for $125.

Do you know who
that Mark belonged to?

No. We get
a similar piece

in with that Mark
from time to time,

but we can't seem
to trace it down.

Well, whoever he was, he was a
man who took great pride in his work.

Can't argue
with you there.

- We'll load it for you.
- Thanks.

I sure wish we
knew who made it.

Man: Maybe we
will someday.

Maybe we will someday.
