I think you've done enough for today.

I'm almost through.

Listen, listen, I said that's enough.

You're gonna need a good night's sleep

if we're gonna go to Tracy tomorrow.

Tracy? Why am I going?

Because it's a long trip when you're going by yourself.

I'm gonna need some company.

I thought you liked riding along with me, just the two of US.

Well, I wanted to be with Mary tomorrow.

You were with Mary today.

She's gonna be taken care of.

But I wanted to. I wanted to!

Hey. Come here.

I wanted to.

Shh.

Ah, son, it's all right.

Please, I want to help you,

but you got to talk to me.

You have to tell me what's wrong.

Come on, why are you carrying on like this.

I don't know.

I don't know. I just can't help it.

But you don't know why?

Tell me the truth. You sure?

Yeah.

All right.

I still want you to go with me as a favor to me.

It's a long ride when I'm just talking to myself.

What do you say?

All right.

Ok, you get to bed now, then.

We're gonna leave first thing in the morning.

Good night, pa.

Good night, son.

Land sakes, Charles.

I don't know when these rising prices

are gonna stop.

Can you imagine paying 56 cents for an ax?

Even the family Bible is up to $1.10.

It'll get to where a body won't be able

to afford to read the good book.

Well, there you go.

Got 'er tallied up.

I owe you $3.10 difference, Charles.

Hey, Charles...

- Yes? - I owe you $3.10.

Better check my figures.

Figures look fine.

Oh, that's unusual for me.

Cipherin' never was my strong suit.

I'll, uh, box that order up for you.

Nice looking little rifle, ain't it?

Yeah, it sure is.

The new Piper.

The best boys' rifle 'round for small game.

How much?

$2.55.

Albert...

Come on in here a sec.

Yes, sir?

Here, take a look at this.

That's a new Piper. The best boys' rifle around.

Put a lot of game on the table

with a rifle like that.

Look, you've been doing real well in school.

You deserve a present. I'm gonna get that for you.

Herb...

Just deduct this rifle from what you owe me,

- all right? - All right.

- My son and I are gonna go huntin' together. - Good.

Pa...

Yeah, son?

If it's not too expensive,

I'd sure like to have

this music box that's playing.

You mean... you mean instead of the rifle?

Yes, sir.

I'd like to give it as a present to Mary.

Please, pa?

You sure that's what you want to do?

Yes, sir.

Herb, how much is the music box?

$1.95.

Just deduct it, would you?

Thank you, pa.

Hi. How was the trip?

Uh, just fine.

Got everything we needed.

Good. Laura's with Mary.

I didn't want to leave till you got back.

Andrew's inside.

Jonathan?

Yeah, it's getting worse.

I'll see what I can do.

Ma?

Why don't you stay here?

I was going into town anyway.

I have a surprise for Mary.

All right.

Thanks. See ya.

That talk you had must have worked.

That's the first sign of a smile

I've seen in a long time.

I'm afraid I can't take credit for it.

He's been smiling like that

ever since he got that present for Mary.

He up in the loft.

Hey, come on.

It's all right.

It's gonna be all right.

I'm scared.

It's... it's not like he's my pa.

He... he's drinking more and...

And he's mean. He...

He's so mean sometimes

it's... it... Sometimes it just scares me.

I-I'm afraid to go home and...

I can't leave him alone.

I don't know what to do.

Now, listen, you stay here.

I'll take a ride over there

and talk to your pa.

Maybe I should go.

No, no. You just stay here.

You have a little supper and then

we'll wait and see, huh?

Now, you stay strong, too, huh?

Your pa's gonna need you, all right?

Ok?

Why don't you try and get yourself some rest.

You look like you could use it.

Ok.

I won't be long.

Pa and me went to Tracy today.

I saw something in the general store

I thought you might like.

So, here.

Mary, please open it.

I know you'll like it.

Please open it.

I'll open it.

I know you'll like it.

Um, it'll make you laugh.

It'll make you smile again.

Everything will be the way it was.

Listen.

You listen now.

I know it's your favorite.

Do you like it?

Please say you like it, Mary.

Please.

Please say you like it, Mary.

Please say you like it.

My baby!

My baby!

My baby!

Aaah! My baby!

My baby!

My baby!

My baby!

My baby.

- I didn't mean it! - My baby!

- I didn't mean it! - My baby!

- My baby! - It was an accident!

- Aaah! My baby! - Oh, I didn't mean it!

My baby!

I didn't mean it!

Mary: My baby!

My baby!

Aaah! My baby!

Albert?

Mary: My baby! My baby!

My baby!

Mary: My baby!

My baby! My baby!

- Nellie, get Dr. Baker. - My baby!

My baby.

My baby.

My baby.

Look at that picture.

It was taken the day we got married.

We had to hop to the justice of the peace, we did.

Got married in a funny little office,

paint peeling off the ceiling.

After we'd said our "I dos," uh,

he banged his gavel onto the table

and all those pieces of paint...

Paint were falling.

Like snow.

Alice and me were standing there,

laughing and...

Picking pieces of paint out of each other's hair

and laughing and...

We did a lot of laughing.

What are you doing here, Charles?

Just thought I'd stop by.

Well, that's nice.

But I'm fine.

Well, your son's not.

Get out of here, Charles.

No, Jonathan.

I didn't invite you here.

So it'd be best if you left now.

Not till we talk.

I don't want to hurt you, Charles.

Why not? 'Cause I'm your friend?

Andy's your son. You don't seem to mind hurting him.

I... I just don't seem to know what I'm doing.

Ohh, dear god.

Am I supposed to forget her?

Oh, no.

Dear god, no, never forget her.

You know, time doesn't make you forget...

Not somebody you loved.

You're gonna remember Alice and...

And I'm gonna remember my grandson.

But we're gonna live on...

And we gotta...

Try to live in a way...

That will make them proud.

We gotta try.

Oh, dear god.

I can't!

- You can. - I can't.

You can... if you really love Alice, you can.

- I can't. - Yes, you can.

And he's not just your son,

he's a living part of Alice,

a part of the woman you love.

When you hurt him, you hurt Alice,

and you hurt yourself.

Ohh, dear god, Charles.

I keep thinking this is just a horrible dream,

and I'm gonna wake up

and Alice is gonna be here.

- Well, if she was here... - Oh! Ah.

What do you think she'd say to you?

What do you think she'd say to you? Huh?

I... I don't know.

She'd say "Jonathan garvey,

what in god's name is wrong with you?"

That's what she'd say.

She'd say, "what's wrong with you, man I love?"

"What's wrong with you?"

That's what she'd say to you, isn't it, friend?

Isn't it?

- Yeah. - Wouldn't she?

She would.

She would.

Oh, dear god, she would.

Charles...

Will you give me a ride over to your place?

I want to talk to my son.

You bet I will.

Pa!

Pa.

Half-pint, what's wrong?

- It's Mary. - What happened?

She got real upset.

Doc baker's with her.

Pa, she talked.

She talked.

Doctor.

She's coming out of it.

She was asleep so long, I...

It wasn't the medicine I gave her.

She was drained, exhausted.

Ma?

Pa?

We're right here.

My baby's dead.

Yes.

There was... There was a fire.

It was the music.

I heard the music.

The music box that Albert gave you?

Albert... where is he?

Oh, probably home.

He ran out.

It...

It frightened him a little.

You were pretty violent when I got here, young lady.

He... he kept saying something to me, like...

"It was an accident."

"I didn't mean it."

H-He kept... He kept saying it.

He probably didn't know what he was saying. What accident?

Charles...

Did you say a smokin' pipe started that fire?

Yeah.

Well, I didn't say anything.

I didn't think of it, really.

But I went down in the basement that day,

and Albert was there with Clay mays.

I shooed 'em out, but...

Caroline, you stay here with Mary.

I'll see if the boy went home.

Would you like some more coffee, Mr. Garvey?

No. No, thank you, Laura. I've had enough.

They're back.

How is she, pa?

She's fine. Is Albert here?

No. I thought he went back and was with you.

What's wrong, Charles?

I don't know. I may need some help.

- You got it. - Come on, then.

Andrew, plan on spendin' the night here.

- All right, son? - Yes, sir.

Bye, pa.

Bye, son.

Comin'.

Hank, I'm sorry to bother you at this late hour,

but it's kind of important.

I'd like to talk to Clay if I could.

At thi hour, Charles?

Well, like I said, it's important.

All right. Come in.

Thank you.

Clay. Hey, boy, wake up. Wake up.

Mr. Ingalls is here, and he wants to talk to you.

Come on. Come on.

He's still half asleep.

Clay, I want you to listen to me.

I'm gonna ask you a question. I want you

to give me an honest answer, all right?

The day of the fire,

you and Albert were down in the cellar, weren't you?

Hester-sue saw you.

What were you doin'?

It's all right, son. Just tell me the truth.

Answer Mr. Ingalls, boy.

We...

We was smokin'.

I snitched Mr. Potts' pipe...

And we was smokin'.

Sorry about the hour.

God.

Where?

Where could he have gone?

I don't know.

City, maybe?

He was raised there.

That could be.

Well... no tellin'.

He could come walkin' right through that door at any time.

Quinn.

What?

Jeremy Quinn, the boy's real father.

If he's gonna go to anybody, he'd go to him.

Now, Charles...

You know that Albert wants to be here with you.

Well, you said yourself that the boy's real pa

doesn't even want him around.

Well, it's no matter. It's still his real father.

But at least it's a chance.

Does he know where his pa lives?

He could find out.

Judge Adams in... in redwood city has all that information.

Albert would know that.

He's a smart boy. He'd know that.

5:10. Sun will be up in an hour. I'll get started.

Charles, I'll go with you.

Good mornin'.

Oh, good morning. May I help you?

Yeah. I came to see judge Adams?

Well, y-you won't be able to

at this hour of the morning.

Oh.

Well, he won't be in for another hour or so.

Uh, you can wait for him in his office if you'd like.

It's, uh...

Oh, the last door, end of the hallway.

- I know. - Right.

Uh, may I help you?

Ok, will you both please fill these out?

Take your time, and make sure they're legible.

Here you go, judge.

Ohh, thank you, Jason.

Ohh, my head.

Jason, the next time my colleagues give a party in my honor,

you remind me how I felt this morning.

Yeah, I'll do that, judge.

Pick you up at 5:00?

That will be fine, Jason.

Charles: Judge Adams?

Judge, I don't know if you remember me.

Yes. Uh, Ingalls, wasn't it?

Yeah, that's right. You handled an adoption for me.

Yes, yes. Uh, could we talk up in my office?

I have some medicine there

that I need desperately.

Certainly.

Oh, judge Adams, there's...

Later, miss Cornell. Later.

Have a seat, gentlemen.

Be right with you.

Ohhh...

Celebrations...

They're happy events.

Ahh.

Man of the year.

Well, now...

What can I do for you?

Judge, Albert... the boy I adopted... has run away.

The circumstances are complicated

and has nothing to do with how he's been getting along with US.

We're grasping at straws. We thought he might have come here

tryin' to find his real father.

Well, we... We do have that information, but...

Isn't there any other place he could have headed?

There could be. This just seems the most likely.

Well, it's my observation with runaways

that they usually head back to their old stompin' grounds.

Well, I can't believe he'd go all the way to the mountain.

Well, he might just, Mr. Ingalls.

You know, these young people can do lots of things

once they put their mind to it.

What do you think?

I think it's worthwhile.

We can go back partway, anyway,

and ask around, see if anybody's seen him.

All right. We'll come back this way and check with you,

in case he's come here.

I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

And if he comes,

I'll keep him at my place.

He's guilty.

Here's your lunch, judge.

Oh... I don't think I can even look at it today.

Oh. Bad night?

No... wonderful night,

bad day after.

I'll just leave it here

in case you change your mind.

Oh, thank you.

If I'd have known you were feelin' poorly,

I never would have let that little boy in your office.

I hope he didn't bother you.

What little boy?

Uh, the little dark-haired fellow. Didn't you see him?

When was he here?

Early this morning.

I want you to send someone over to my home

and have Jason come over here on the double.

Well, what's wrong?

Now, now, quickly, just do as I say.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Quinn?

Mr. Quinn?

Mr. Quinn!

Team's rested, Charles.

All right.

Leg botherin' you again?

Yeah. It's... This morning dampness, I guess.

Next town's garland. We'll stop and call Nellie

in case he showed up at home.

Yeah. Right.

Company.

You wouldn't be a Mr. Ingalls by any chance,

- would you? - Yes, sir, I am.

Well, judge Adams sent me lookin' for you.

He give me this note.

Jonathan, you know the way to olney?

Sure. What is it, Charles?

The boy's there.

Well, any message for the judge?

You bet. Tell him thanks.

Hyah! Git! Giddy-up!

Giddy-up!

Giddy-up!

Giddy-up!

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

Charles: Hyah! Git!

Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Git! Come on!

Giddy-up!

Whoa.

Deserted.

I'll check the barn.

Jonathan: Charles!

Charles? Charles!

It's my boy's jacket.

I found it in the barn...

Grave marker over there marked "j. Quinn."

Let's split up and start looking.

Charles: Albert!

Albert!

No, that's enough! That's enough!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Stop, son! No more running!

Stop! That's enough!

You don't understand!

Yes, I do. I know, and your pa knows, too.

Clay told US.

Then you know.

It was all my fault.

It was nobody's fault.

But it is.

- No. - It is!

Now, listen to me.

You're blaming yourself for what happened,

just like my blaming god for what happened,

and we're both wrong.

And all this running...

It's just hurting them that love you the most,

and adding more pain to what they've already got.

You understand that, boy?

I can't go back!

Yes, you can.

You can if you love your folks the way you say you do.

Son...

I thought my life was over, too,

but it ain't.

You gotta go on living.

You gotta hold the memory of the one you love and...

Try to make them proud.

That's what I'm gonna try and do.

What about you?

I love you, son!

I love you.

I love you.

Hester-sue: ♪ ...And behold thee

thank you, Mrs. Terhune.

That concludes our regular service for the day.

Adam Kendall has a few words he'd like to say to you all.

Adam?

Ahem.

As some of you may know,

I was back east last week in New York.

I spent some time with my father,

told him about the tragedy we had had.

You'd all have to know

the way my father was in the past

to realize what a miracle it is

when I tell you that he's asked

to be allowed to finance

the rebuilding of the blind school.

Believe me, I will never again

look at any man on the face of the earth

and say that he'll never change.

My father did make one request...

That he be allowed to name the new school,

and he sent this plaque back with me.

Mary. Jonathan.

We dedicate this school...

In memory of Alice garvey...

And Adam Charles holbrook Kendall.

And may we make them proud.
