  Speaker 4: And a little lonely. Oh, my God.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: You and that doggone jail look like.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Home tonight, Mr. Dillon. It's been a long ride. Get
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: a pie going and some coffee started, will you, Chester?
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I'll unsettle the horses. Yes, sir.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Matt?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: What? It's Tover, Matt. Van Tover. Oh, hello, Van. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: didn't recognize you there in the dark.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: I've been waiting for you, Matt. I wanted to talk
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: to you. Well... Alone, if it's all the same. No offense, Chester.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: You owe none to it, Mr.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Stover.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: I was just going in to make some coffee anyhow.
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: I'll make us all some.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, Matt.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Why didn't you wait inside, man? The office is open.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: I did for a while, but just couldn't stay set.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: And I guess you have got something on your mind.
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: Matt, you know a lot about me.
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: You know, I tore around when I was younger before
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: I met Edna, and we got married and the kid come.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like most men, man.
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: No, that ain't what I mean exactly. I mean, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: never quite got on the wrong side of the law,
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: but I've heard near dead a few times.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: Well, I was mighty handy with a gun, man, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: I was too quick to use one a lot of times.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: Sure, it was always self-defense, but.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: What do you got, Matt, then?
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: Matt, you still got that gun I gave you two
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: years ago when the kid was born?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's in the office in the safe.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: You got any need for it?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: I want it back.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I better get this other saddle off.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: No, Matt, wait.
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: I can go buy another gun. It's just that I'm
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: used to that one. I carried it for years. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: I got to have one tonight. You haven't worn a
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: gun for two years now, Van. You told me when
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: you gave it to me you were through with gunfighting.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: I didn't ask for this.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: For the kid's sake and Edna's. So you told me.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: That's true, Matt. You said you.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Only had one enemy in the world and you hadn't
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: heard of him for years. It's a matter of you
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: gone out and made yourself a new one?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: No.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: It's the same one, huh?
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: He's caught up with you? No, it was 12 years ago.
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: Clear down in Durango. Fight over a girl, nobody. She
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: didn't even count.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: I just fought easy in them days was all.
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, sure.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: This fella drawed on me and I put a bullet
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: through his leg. He was still laid up with it
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: when I rode out of town. And he swore he'd
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: find me and kill me. I didn't pay it much mind.
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: We all talked big.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: When we were young, you know. I know. He rode
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: into Dodge today.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: He's been asking for me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh. What's his name?
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Largo Greeland. He's a big fella. He's built like a bull.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: Always wears two guns and he can shoot with either hand.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Van, does your shoulder still bother you, son?
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: What's that got to do with it?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Look, you might as well have given me that gun
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: four years ago when that horse fell and rolled on you. Now,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: you get mixed up in something like this.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: With that bad shoulder, and you'll be dead before you
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: even get your gun clear of the leather.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: You must be out of your head.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: You think I want to meet Largo?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: You sure act like it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: He's come after me.
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: Twelve years he's been looking.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: That's a lot of hate, Max.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: And if I don't call him here in town, he'll
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: come on out to the ranch. I got Ed and
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: the kid to think of.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: All right, then think of them. Stay out of this
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and leave it to me.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: You think I wouldn't like to? Matt, I'm scared.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I know what I'm up against, and I'm scared to death.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Then get out of town. Stay clear of him and
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: let me handle it. It's not your fight, Matt. It
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: might be.
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: Well, ain't no use arguing about it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: If it's all right with you, I'll take my gun
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: and not bother you no more.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Why don't you use your head, Van? You haven't got
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: a chance. I want the gun, Matt. I want it now.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Chester? Yes, Mr. Dillon? Get Van Tover's gun out of
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: the safe, will you?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Matt, I give up.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I can't figure it out. I'll figure what out, Kitty?
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: You.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The way you're acting.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: How am I acting?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you've been leaning on the bar for the last
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: hour with the same drink beside you.
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: You haven't even touched it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess I'm not thirsty.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That's not bad, Matt.
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: You're drawn tighter than a $ 2 pinch. You're waiting for something,
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: aren't you?
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Uh, don't worry about it. It's no use borrowing trouble.
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: If anybody's about to borrow from it, it's you.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Kitty, will you excuse me for a minute?
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Look, you stay here and finish your drink. I, uh.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I got something that needs attentive to.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: I'll be back in a little while.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Your name Largo Greeland? Might be. What's on your mind, mister?
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I'm a marshal here in Dodge. One of them, huh? Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: You, uh....
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Ever been on the Cherokee Strip, partner? Oh, now I see.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Van Tover come whining to you, I reckon. Got you
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: to do his fighting for him, huh? I'm not talking
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: about Tover.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about some wanted bulletins I've been looking over.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Got your name and face on them. You don't say.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: One of them's for murder. Down on the Cherokee Strip.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Van must have changed some... Spooks easier, for one thing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Hollers for his hit. Forget about the plan. That's kind
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: of a hard thing to do, Marshal, when you've looked
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: for a man 12 years and finally found him. Understand
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: he's staked out over by the stockpins. Got cover at
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: the sides and behind. Sure looks like he ain't running
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: no chances. But I can wait. Let him sweat some.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: He can't stay there forever. You're under arrest for murder, Largo. Now,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I'd like to blood you, Marshal. But I got other
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: business in town. Not now, you haven't. Oh, I ain't
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: gonna draw on you. More than likely, you got a
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: man somewhere behind me. No. I ain't gonna draw on you. Oh, boy!
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Marco. but I've had that kickin' trick tried
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: on me before. Now get up on your feet. Now
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: come on, mister, we're going to jail.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: Doggone it, man, I'm telling you. Someday you're going to
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: take one chance too many.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, what do you mean, Doc?
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: Trying to arrest somebody you know is a killer. With
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: your gun in your holster.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Doc, a lawman that went around with a pistol in
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: his hand would last about a week.
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Because every outlaw in town would figure he had a
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: right to ambush him.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're in town kind of late, aren't you, Miss Troward?
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: Marshal, where's Van?
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Around town somewhere, I guess. Now, Doc,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: you know Miss Tover, don't you?
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: Oh, do I?
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Of course I know.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Who do you think delivered that baby of hers?
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: How are you, Edna?
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: Marshal, who's Van going to fight?
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: Fight?
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: He's wearing a gun.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: First time in two years.
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: And he's in town looking for somebody. He wouldn't tell
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: me anything, but I know. I can feel it when
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: a man's mind's took up with killing.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Easy now, Miss Tover.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Whatever he might have been thinking, he can forget.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: And you can, too. There's nothing to worry about.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: That's easy to say.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: It happens to be true.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: The fellow he was worrying about's in jail.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I guess Van doesn't know it yet.
• 11:39
  Speaker 10: Are you telling me the truth, Marshal?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am. Now, why don't you get yourself back
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: out to the ranch? That husband of yours is going
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: to be tired and hungry when he finally rides in tonight.
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: You.
• 11:49
  Speaker 10: You're sure this man's in jail, Marshal?
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's there, all right.
• 11:52
  Speaker 10: Well, of course he's there. Now, you head for home,
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: young lady, before you really give Van something to worry about.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: Gallivanting around alone this time of night? All right, Doc,
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: I will.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: Good night.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: And good night, Mark.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Good night, Mr. O'Rourke.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Blameful and worried overnight. Yeah, that's right, Doc.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: The same as you were.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Same as I was.
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: Oh, you mean about you taking chances and all that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's different now.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Mr. Dillon! Ah, that Chester.
• 12:23
  Speaker 10: He can find more reasons to hoop and holler.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's the matter, Chester?
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: He jumped me right there in the cell. I fixed
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: him some water so he could clean up when he
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: come to, and he was just playing possum.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Are you hurt? No, I ain't hurt.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: That ain't what I'm trying to tell you, Mr.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Dillon. Well, what is it then?
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: He got away.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: My jolly, he sure didn't waste no time making himself scarce, Mr. Dillon.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: No, he sure didn't. Doc, any sign of him around
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: the railroad depot? No, not a.
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: Whisper, man.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: Quiet as a tomb over there.
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: And I didn't see Van Tover either.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: We've got to find one of them before they find
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: each other.
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: It's just possible that he pulled stakes and let out, huh?
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Not after 12 years looking for Dover, he's still around somewhere.
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: Well, you had him locked up in jail.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, Mr.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Dillon, I just don't know how that happened.
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: He just fooled me, Lord. You're probably thinking about women.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: They're always fooling you, too. Now, you look here, Doc.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Forget it, Chester. We all get taken at once in
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: a while.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: I just don't know how he tricked me like that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Well, never mind. It's done now. The thing to do
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: is to find him.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: He hasn't had time to get very far.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Matthew!
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Dillon!
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: What? Uh, yeah. Over here, Miles.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: I wonder what old Miles is doing out this time
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: of night. He's probably trying to peddle something, make another
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: five cents profit so he can sleep better.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: I heard that, Doc.
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: I heard what you were saying behind my back.
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: There isn't anything I wouldn't say to your front, you
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: old skin-climber.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: What's on your mind, Miles?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Matthew, there's something mighty funny going on.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: How's that so?
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: I just came.
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: Past the livery stable. Mrs.
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: Stover started to drive out and some fella jumped into
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: the buggy with her.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: What?
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I hear it was a big fella, bent like a bull.
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: He made her turn around and go back into the stable.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Well, it looks like we've found Largo. Come on, let's go.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: Ain't no sign of life, Mr.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Dillon. There's no reason for him to advertise.
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: Well, he might have left.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: It's been five minutes since I saw him. If you
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: saw them at all, you'd probably have been nipping at
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: that scotch whiskey of yours.
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: One of these days, Doc, you'll go too far.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Look out.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess he ain't left yet after all.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Largo. Come on out of there with your hands up.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Me and the lady's too comfortable, Marshal. Why don't you
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: come and join us? Let her come out alone and
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: you won't get hurt. I don't think he'll get hurt.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: That's why she's with me. Matt, what's going on?
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: You got Largo cornered in there. I heard a shot.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Go find her husband, Marshal. Tell him to be hurry.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: She might still be breathing.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Marshal, no.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Matt, that's Edna.
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: Don't let Edna know.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Largo's got Edna in there. Wait a minute, man.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: It won't help her any to walk out there and
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: get yourself killed.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: There's no use arguing, Matt.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, I guess you're right. There isn't any use arguing. Doc,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: take care of him, will you?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Chester, get his gun. And see if you can hold
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Largo's attention. Fire a couple of shots. I'm going to
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: try to slip in the back.
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: Okay, Mr.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: Dillon.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Hey, let me have his.
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: Gun, Doc.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Largo?
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: You ain't got a chance. Throw your gun out and
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: walk out of there with your hands up for me
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: and Mr.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: Dillon comes in after you.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Come on, if you feel lucky. You think we don't
• 16:26

  Speaker 4: Shut up before you get me mad. Don't move, Largo.

  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I will.
