• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I'm that man. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: man they look for and the last they want to meet.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: It's a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: And a little lonely. You want some more pie, Kitty?
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: You might as well, since Doc's paying for it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: No, thanks, Matt.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: I've had plenty.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: What happened to make you such a big spender, Doc?
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Some forgotten relative leave you something in his will?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Might as well.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: What do you mean, Doc? Well, you remember that cowboy
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: who got himself shot up in a long branch brawl?
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: That was a year or two ago.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: There's been more than one of them.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: I know that, but Kitty might remember this. She helped
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: stop the bleeding until I got there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, I remember, Doc.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: He didn't even have enough money to buy a beer.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: And we figured he never would have.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: What happened to him?
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Well, sir, I had a letter from him this morning...
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: He's had some kind of a payoff in California. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: he sent me a $ 20 gold piece to pay me
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: for what he called my medical services.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's fine, Doc.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: I'm glad he made up.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Yes, men like him don't often do it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: And you don't often get paid.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Well, you never know in my business.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: Dillon.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Dillon.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: It's Chester, man, at the door.
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: And you too, Doc. Hurry up.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: He means it, Doc.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Excuse us.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: He's going back outside.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Somebody must be hurt.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I didn't hear any shooting. Now, there are other ways
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: to get hurt, Doc.
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: Well, we're here for the stage, Mr.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Jones.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: That man has.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Been hurt, Mac.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: That's the shotgun messenger, Doc.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Somebody must have held up the stage.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Mike got shot, Mr.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Jones.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: He's hurt pretty bad. Let me take a look.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: What happened, Chester?
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't know for sure.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I didn't see the stage come in just now, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Mike was driving.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Mike was driving?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir. So I knew something was wrong. Then I
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: could see he was hurt, too.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: Matt. Yeah, Doc. He's trying to say something.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Make it fast, Matt.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I got to get him up to my office.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Mike, it's Marshal Dillon. What happened?
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: Held up. Driver killed.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Were there any passengers?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Currency shipment. 20,000. What had happened, Mike?
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: He's going out, Matt.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Mike.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Mike.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Mike.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Try. Please try. Tell me what had happened. How many men?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: No. Hat Creek. Two men. That's all, Matt. He's unconscious.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I'll find a couple of men to help you, Doc. Chester,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: go get our horses. Yes, sir. And hurry.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They went along here right now, Mr.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Jones.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: That cracked shoe shows up real plain.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they've been riding hard, too. But they must have
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: slowed down or stopped for a while somewhere.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I hope they didn't get no more sleep last
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: night than we did.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: What's the matter, Chester? You getting old?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I don't say it ain't that, but my gracious, two
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: hours sleep. It just don't seem worth bothering about, that's all.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I hope our friends bothered a little about sleep.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Now, if I was carrying $ 20, 000 in bills, I wouldn't
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: never stop. Yeah?
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: You'd have to be riding a pretty unusual horse, then. Well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I guess you're right, but... Wait a minute.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Hmm?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Looks like they did stop after all.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: What?
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: They built a fire over there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was them, wasn't it?
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, same tracks. I think we picked up a little
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: time on them, Chester. Come on, let's pick up some more.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I swear, Mr. Dillon, them men are riding like they're
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: stuck to the saddle. They're near dark again.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: They'll have to stop someplace along here pretty soon, huh?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Hold up, Chester. Those tracks are heading down to those
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: bushes along the creek. Let's go easy.
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Mr. Dillon?
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Off yonder, above the stream there, there's a shack.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I see it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You think there might maybe a hit out in it?
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe. But I'm not going to ride straight up to
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: find out. We'll leave the horses here.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: We'll circle around back. Just keep low.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: There's two horses tied up there.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Dillon, now they are.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah. All right, hold it, Joe.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: They're heading for the horses. You got him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but the other one's getting away.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: He's out of range.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Chester, you go bring the horses up. I'll see about
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: the man I shot.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Well, ain't you going after the other one?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: He's got a pretty good head start and it's near dark.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I'm not going after him blind. Morning's soon enough. All right.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: You get my brother. You get wrecked.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Not yet. You heard bad. Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I sure am.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Chester.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir?
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Tie up those horses and come here. We'll carry him
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: into the shack.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: Be right there.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Dillon?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: This fellow's horse.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Well, what about it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Well, his leg's broke. He must have stumbled and it's
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: time to get away. You reckon I better shoot him?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: All right, you can do it as soon as we
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: get this man out of the shack.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: All right, open the door, Chester.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: I'll keep hold of him.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: It's locked. You suppose somebody lives in this forsaken place?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll find out. Go ahead and knock.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Anybody in there? Open up!
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Anybody in there?
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: There's no need for any more noise at my door.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Just finished telling you men you can't stay in my house.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: You don't need that shotgun, ma'am. We don't mean any harm.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: I intend to defend my home, sir. No rough men
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: are going to tramp around amongst my fine friends.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: You open the door a little wider, ma'am, and you'll
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: see we're not the same men.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: I don't open my home to any strangers.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I'm Marshal Dillon from Dodge City, and we got a
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: badly injured man here.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: A United States Marshal?
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: That's right, ma'am.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Well, then I guess I'll have to let you in.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: But I don't hold to your Yankee government, I want
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: that clear.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: All right, ma'am, fine. Come on, Chester. Now, you just
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: show us where you want us to put him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: He hurt bad.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Bad enough. Well.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I suppose even a rough man has a right to
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: die in the bed. But mind you, be careful of
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: my things.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: All right, ma'am. We'll mind you.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I'll take care of Miller's horse, Mr.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Jones.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I'll run the saddle. All right, good. Say, ain't things
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: a little strange in there?
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: A little?
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: All that talk about not hurting her fine things, right?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Ain't nothing there that's worth carting away except maybe that
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: old pine axe.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I know. Everything else is all cracked and broke.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Most ladies wouldn't give that stuff house room.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: If you gentlemen would care to join me, I fixed
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: a small supper.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Well, that's very nice of you, ma'am.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: How do you say it's nice? Mr.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Hanford.
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: He's my husband.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Hanford always said I could spot a gentleman right away.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I could see you.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Two were gentlemen as soon as we exchanged pleasantries there
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: in the entryway.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you, ma'am.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Proudfoot, ma'am.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Please take your hat off my cherry wood piano.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: My land, ma'am, it can't hurt nothing.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: I do not allow anything to mar the finish of
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: my beautiful cherry wood pine.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: Here's your plate.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Please sit down.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Right here.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: I don't imagine your wounded friend will be able to partake.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: No, Miss Hanford, he's not likely to come to for
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: some time. That is, if he ever does.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: I can't imagine how he got his wound. I'd seen
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: him just a few minutes before you did.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Miss Hanford, ma'am, didn't you hear the shooting right outside
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: your door?
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: I have trained myself not to see and hear the
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: ugly things of life. I just live here alone among
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: my friends.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: But you said that you have a husband.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: My husband has been gone for two.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Three, four years now, Marshal.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, ma'am.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Ironford would never be content to live a quiet life.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: He thought he could when first we came here directly
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: after the war. I had in mind he'd build me
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: a new plantation. But, Marshal, just between.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: You and me, Mr.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Hanford didn't appreciate my lovely things. And one day... Well,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: one day he just moved down west.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's too bad, ma'am.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I do not need your pity, sir. I'm content.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Well, sure, of course.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: I'd be obliged if you gentlemen would sleep out there
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: on the veranda.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Veranda? Oh, that's all right, Chester. We'll sleep on the veranda.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: I am going to have to keep an eye on Miller, though, ma'am.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I will watch over him, Marshal.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Well, no, that's not your job, Miss Henry.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: I'm mistress of this house, Marshal Dillon. I will watch
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: over him. I will call you if there's any change.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I'll look to him right now.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Well, all right, ma'am.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Mr. Dillon?
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Chester.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Mr. Dillon, is that slanty old porch a veranda? Well,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: it is to her. My, if she don't be all. Claire,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: every time I dig a grave, the ground seems harder
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: than the last time.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Grave digging isn't supposed to be easy, Chester. It's too permanent.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Funny how many men dies at daybreak, ain't it? I mean,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: when everything else is starting up and all.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess when you have to die, it's as
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: good a time as any.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Where do you reckon his brother is by now?
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Rock?
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know. But we're sure going to have a
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: long ride to catch up with him.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And there sure ain't one to hurry up a
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: man about his dying. But I sure would have been
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: glad to have been shut of this place before now.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Enjoy southern hospitality.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Dillon, I have to walk around in that old shack
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: on my hip toes. She's after me every minute about
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: not hurting her things. Gracious goodness, I couldn't hurt them
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: old things if I tried.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Well, we can be leaving soon now. Chester, we've done
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: about all we can do.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Get up.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Dillon, in them bushes.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and my guns are in the house.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: I believe it's customary... Will you get out of the way, please?
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: I want my gun over there.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: What do you suppose that crazy fool's thinking of?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know, Chester, but he must have a good
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: reason for sticking around.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: His brother?
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think he'd take on these odds when
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: he was pretty sure his brother was done for. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: think he's got another reason. Where's the saddle that came
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: off Miller's horse?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Well, over there in the corner.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Oh. Be careful of your heavy footsteps.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see now.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: No order.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: He's stuck around.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: All that money makes up into a right pretty little package,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: don't it?
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: So, Dylan, I don't understand the sudden rudeness on your part.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm not too polite when I'm
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: being shot at. And you stay away from those windows.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: I thank you not to give me orders in my
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: own house.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Chester, let's push the piano in front of that window
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: over there. We're like sitting ducks this way.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: You will not touch my cherry.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: All right, come on, Chester.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Of course. Oh, don't harm it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, don't harm it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Now watch the front. You take the side. I don't
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: think you'll wait long.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: How long must I endure this?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: How long?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: As long as that outlaw's out there, Miss Hanford. He's
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: not going to let us out of here alive.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: You're going to stay here tramping around among my nice
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: things until he goes away.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid so, ma'am.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Well, then I'll just order him off my lap.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Miss Hanford, come back here.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: See here, sir.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Miss Hanford. You're trespassing. I want you to ride.
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: On the back.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: He shot her.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah. There he is, running for the creek.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: He's down. You got him? Yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: You go make sure, will you, Justin?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I'll see to Miss Hanford. Miss Hanford. Miss Hanford.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Marshal Dillon.
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: You were right.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, ma'am.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: He was no gentleman, was he, Marshal? Just pass it
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: on the lady's property.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: No, ma'am, he wasn't.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: He's dead, Mr. Jones.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: How's Miss Hanford?
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Not good. Not good at all. Miss Hanford, we're going
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: to take you into your house.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: No, not just yet, Marshal.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Don't move me.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Let me die here on the brander.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: You'd be more comfortable with me.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Please, Roger.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I won't delay you long.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Is there anything we can do? I mean, is there
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: any way to make you feel better?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: If you would just see.
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: If.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: You would just see that somebody takes care of my lovely.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: My hand.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Is she gone?
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Well, I can carry her inside now.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: What's she doing?
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: She really believed Rack Miller.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Would listen to her and go away, didn't she?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: That he was no gentleman.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Well, it's just a shame, that's what it is. This
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: pianist sure must play pretty. The way she loved it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Took care of it so good.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: What are you doing?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, I just thought I'd hit me a note or two.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: She wouldn't care, would she?
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: No, I guess she wouldn't.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Why.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Why don't you play at all? I... And look here,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: under the top. All the strings is rusted away. Just
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: hanging there. Mr. Dillon, this pine ain't made a sound
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: for years.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess I didn't have to play, Chester. Just
• 18:43

• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That was all she had.
