- Quotes
Dr. Merar: You had a concussion when you fell off that horse. Often happens, the reaction is delayed. I recommend the next few days you rest.
Eric Mercer: Yeah, rest - universal panacea.
Dr. Merar: Don't joke about it. It *is* the universal panacea. I'll see you again in a few days.
Nick Barkley: You can stay on here if you like for a while until you're a little steadier.
Eric Mercer: No, I'll uh, camp up on the ridge if it's all right with you.
Heath: Mercer, I, uh, I made a mistake. I'm sorry.
Eric Mercer: I shouldn't have run away. Like, uh, Horatio, I should've held the bridge.
Victoria Barkley: You need to rest. Please stay.
Eric Mercer: No thank you. Walls close in on me.
Audra Barkley: Well, there's a place to stay a couple miles behind the house.
Heath: Yeah, a grove of trees. Plenty of water. You can camp there.
Eric Mercer: I'll do that.
Heath: I'll give you a hand.
Eric Mercer: Thanks.
Victoria Barkley: I wonder who he is.
Nick Barkley: Just a traveler bringing back one of our horses. Maybe. But I intend to find out.
Bradford Dillman is the stranger and he doesn't even carry a weapon. But he's got his troubles as a gang of ex-soldiers is hunting him. He's also got a lot of conscience ridden angst as well he would when he finally confesses to Evans why these soldiers led by one arm Douglas Kennedy are chasing him.
Some people make some bad decisions in life and wind up paying for it forever and ever. Dillman as the stranger on the run decides eventually to face his trouble. He does a fine job in his performance.
He and Evans are an interesting pair in this Big Valley episode.
