• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Matt Dillon, United States Marshal.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Look up ahead there, Mr. Dillon. Somebody's gone and left
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: his wagon right out on the prairie.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's a man down in front of it, Chester.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It sure looks like his team went off and left him.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: What would he be doing out here with a busted
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: wagon and no teeth? I expect he'll be glad to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: tell us. Come on. Get up. Who's there?
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: It's Mike Blocker.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Hello, Mike. Hello there. Well, it's the perfect for a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: man to be in the day before his wedding, Michael.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: It sure is.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Well, it'll keep me sober, Marshal, and Matilda will appreciate that,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: even if I don't make dodge tonight. What happened, Mike?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Where's your team?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, Chester, we hit a hole back there, and the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: whiffle tree busted, and that team... He just run off
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: like they was glad to get you out of the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: whole dang thing. That must have been quite a hold
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you had to do this.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: No, not much.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Looky here, Marshal. The bar's been sawed half and two. Sure.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: It's them boys again.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: What boys?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Them two crazy cowboys I hired on last fall.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Plumber and Webb, you mean?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They've been funning me a lot lately.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: You mean this is just a joke?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: It's what they figured, I guess.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it ain't much of a joke to leave a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: man stranded on the prairie this way. Especially when he's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: trying to get to town to be married.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Now, this ain't so bad. Just yesterday, they cut the
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: stings on my saddle.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But being a bronc got loose and bucked it off
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: before I could get mounted. I wish I were as even-tempered.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: As you are, Mike.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, Marshal, it don't pay to get mad. No, but
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it seems to me Plummer and Webb are going a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: little far with their jokes.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Don't they want you to get married? I don't know.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I never asked him.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Now, where are they now? Oh, they rode into dog
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: this morning. They didn't see me at the wedding.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I had to bring the wagon so they could carry
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Matilda back to the ranch. Well, we'll find you a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: team for you. Maybe we can rig up a whiffle
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: tree of some sort. You can buy a new one
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and talk.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'd be beholden to you, Mark.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Now, you'll get to town in time for a drink yet.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: We'll ride along with you to see what you do, Mike.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: You want a beer, Chester? Well, no, sir.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: If you don't mind, Mr.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Dillon, I think I'll go on down to the depot.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: The Santa Fe is about due, and I'd like to
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: watch it come in.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Well, I'll leave you here then. So do
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: thank you, though, I was saying. Well, uh, I didn't
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: say that I was buying it. You'd have had to.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I'm bubble. Try not to be mighty careful of what
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: he says around you. I'll see you later. Okay, sir. Hello, Matt. Hello, Kitty.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Sit down.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: I hear if it hadn't been for you and Chester,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Mike Barker never would have got to town today.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Well, he rode in an hour ago, and you already
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: heard about it? Matilda told me. Oh, that's right. I
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: forgot about you and Matilda.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Well, she's the only lady in this town who is
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: my friend.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: She's your best.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, thanks, Matt.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Well, You going to.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: The wedding, Kitty?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: He insists that I do.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: You're a pretty close friend, aren't you?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Pretty close, Matt.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: I guess his partner thought he could talk to me
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: about things he wouldn't even dare mention to her nice friend.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Now, they're no better than you are, Kitty.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe not. But there are more of them in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: long run. That makes a difference. What do you want
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to know about Matilda and me?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I've been wondering if there's any reason why either
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of those cowboys who work for Mike Blocker wouldn't want
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that wedding to come off tomorrow.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Plumber and web?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You must have some reason for wondering about it, man.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Well, man's friends always treat him a little rough before
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: he gets married, but these boys have carried it pretty far.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: There's jealousy, Matt.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: No.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Which one?
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Plummer.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: He and Matilda used to see each other once in
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: a while. Until she met Mike and fell.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: In love with him. Yeah. Has Plummer threatened her or Mike?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: He's afraid of Mike in spite of his gentle temper.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he should be.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: But he told Matilda he'd make as much trouble as
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: he could.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: What kind of trouble?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Anything that'll embarrass her, I guess. Like a chivalry, but
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: real unfriendly.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They started their chivalry a little early. They even tried
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to get Mike crippled up a couple of days ago.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know about that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Nothing came of it. I sure don't like to see
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: anybody's wedding day spoiled. I think I'll look those two
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: up and have a talk.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: I swear I've been in every saloon in Dodge, Mr. Jones.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe they ain't in.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Town after all.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll try the hotel, Chester. Why don't you just
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: throw them in jail till the wedding's over? I'd like to.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Now, wait a minute.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: There they are.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It's them, all right. I saw Mike over at the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Longhorn taking on a few. Oh, well, even marrying a
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: good woman makes a man nervous.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, it sure does.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I just thought of it, and I want to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: go live with the Comanches. Well, you can't let other
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: men do all the marrying.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just, it's what they say. Hello, summer. Hello, Marshall.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: What's on your mind, Marshal? I've seen you come all
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the way across the plaza. I wanted to talk to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you about the wedding tomorrow. Oh?
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: You ought to.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Be talking to Mike Blocker. He's the one that's getting married.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: We ain't, are we, Webb?
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: No, we ain't.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Did you think we were? All right, that's enough. You're
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: not dealing with Mike Blocker now. You're dealing with me,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and my temp is a whole lot.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Quicker than his.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: No offense, Marshal. Webb didn't mean nothing. No, I didn't
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: mean nothing.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: We're just in kind of good spirits.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Aren't you out of the wedding and all? Why, sure,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: you know how to. Mike told you? He did. He
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: didn't seem to mind as much as you do, Marshal.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Don't be fooled by that. If Mike ever does get mad,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: there's going to be trouble. But I'm telling you to
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: leave him alone.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: We ain't going to do nothing. Maybe a little chivalry
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: after the wedding.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: That's all. I don't want either one of you anywhere
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: near that wedding.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, now, Marshal, we was invited.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: The invitation's off. Do you understand me?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: No, but, Marshal... Shut up, Webb.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He's the law. We won't go near the wedding if
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: he says so. I say we won't go nowhere as near.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: That satisfy you, Marshal?
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Isn't the gentleman a beautiful man?
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Well, if you'll excuse me now, I promised her.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I'd rush to her room and never get past. You
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: can see all the lovely new clothes she has. She's
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: been saving for years. Yeah, I know.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Mike told me.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: He's real proud.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: You're going to wait around to see them.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Off, aren't you?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be here. I couldn't get Chester away from
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: that free liquor anyway. This liquor may be free, but
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: it ain't too sharp. I'm on my third breath, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I don't feel it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: You don't have enough blood in you.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: To move it around, Chester. That's your trouble. Well, I'd
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: have plenty of blood if it wasn't for old quacks
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: like you bleeding me every time my ears cold.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I never bled a man in my life, and you
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: know it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe you didn't, but I sure have been bled
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: by other doctors.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Don't blame me if you're fool enough to let him
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. See, you know, Matt, I've always said that people
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: would just stand up to their doctors once in a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: while and improve the whole medical profession. Well, you may
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: be right, Doc.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Of course I might.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go see if that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Jug is empty yet.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Mike's drunk half of it himself. Take
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: a look around outside while you're at it, huh, Justin?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: For plumbing and web? Oh, they haven't showed up yet,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: but they might be waiting.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: All right, sir, I'll do it. Oh, it's a nice wedding.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it, Matt? Yeah, fine, fine. I brought some ammonia
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: along in case Mike got too weak to go through
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: with it. His entrance was a little shaky, but he
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: got his cover back about the halfway mark.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Matt! Matt!
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: What's the matter, Kitty?
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Matt, it's terrible. That poor girl.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: What's happened?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It's her clothes. All her new clothes. Matt, we went
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: to her room to get a pack and everything's been
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: torn to shreds.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: What?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: It's a mess. And Matilda's up there crying her heart out.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Plumber, I suppose.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Of course you get it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Who else would?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: You better go back to her, Kitty. And don't tell
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: anybody about it yet.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: All right, Matt.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: What are you going to do, Matt?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Find Plumber and Webb he did the other. I found
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Chester outside, but there was no sign of Plummer and Webb.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: We figured they must have sneaked into Matilda's room during
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the wedding ceremony, and while he stood downstairs happily becoming
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: nice brides, they were up there He must have left home, Mr. Dillon. Yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the Oasis over there is the only place we haven't
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: been into yet. Might as well have a look. It's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: making pretty bold calling this place the Oasis. Oh, why?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It's the poorest saloon in town. A thirsty jackass wouldn't stop.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Here to sniff a rain barrel.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Not if he knew his way around, he wouldn't. Lookie there.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Even the door's busted off. Yeah, it sure is. Mr. Dillon,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: this place is a wreck.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Where is everybody?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: There's been a fight here, Chester. Oh, there's somebody. Look
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: at his head. He's laying from his... Well, that's web. Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: He got his neck broke, Chester. Where'd that come from?
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: There behind the bar there. Hey, get the beer off
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the bar and throw it on him, Chester. Yes. Don't
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: hit me. Don't hit me. I'm the Marshal. Nobody's going
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to hit you. Now, who are you, mister?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: You.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I'm the bartender. Well, what happened here, Joe? Why, that
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: was crazy. He's still here, Marshal? No, he's gone. Plumbing
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: web work for Mike something. He was awful mad, Marshal.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Awful drunk, too. Where'd Plumber go? I don't know. I
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: tried to stop it, but they hit me. Knocked me out.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Was anybody else in here? Just them and then Mike
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: come in. Joe Webb's lying on the other side of
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the bar. He's dead. Dead?
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Do you see who killed him? He pulled a knife
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: on Mike. He was going to use it, too. Somebody
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: killed him, huh? Was it Mike? I got hit about then, Marshal.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't see no more. All right, Joe. You do
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: something about Webb there. Look what they've done to my place.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: It's ruined. Who's going to pay for all this? I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: don't know, Joe. But I'll try to find out. I
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: didn't find out. Not that night, anyway. We looked around
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the oasis inside and out, and then I sent Chester
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: down to wait for Mike in case he showed up
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: at my children's place. So I shouted the town again.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: But shortly after daybreak, we both gave up and met
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: back at the office. Miss Kitty was down here, Mr.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Dillon. She stayed with.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Matilda all night.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, good.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: How's Matilda taking it? Well, I don't think she cares
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: about her clothes anymore. She's worried about Mike. Oh. You, uh,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: didn't tell her about Webb being killed.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Did you?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness, no, sir. I wouldn't do that. She'll
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: find out soon enough, poor thing. Oh, it's Mike. Yeah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: it's Mike. I was so drunk and so mad, I
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: don't remember much of anything. I think he knocked me
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: on the head while I was finishing off Webb. I
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: know I ain't seen Plummer since. I've just been down
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to the Oasis, Joe. I ain't seen him neither. Well,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: nobody has, I know. But where were you? Oh, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: was awful drunk, Marshal. I must have got as far
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: as Kelly's stable, crawled into a stall there. At least
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: that's where I woke up this morning. Marshal, that was
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a bad thing they'd done to Matilda. Yeah, it was.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: But you shouldn't have killed anybody for it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Lock him up, Chester.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I'll bring back some coffee.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: This way, Mike.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: My, I sure am sorry to have to lock up
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: a man like you, Mike. If you didn't, Chester, I'd
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: just go find Plummer and kill him. There you are. Yeah. Mr. Dillon,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: be back directly. Then you can have some coffee. I
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: don't want nothing. Don't move, Jackson.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Homer.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I'll take your gun. We've been looking everywhere for you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Are you glad you found me? Morning, Mike. What are
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: you doing here, plumber? I come for you, Mike. I'm
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: going to take you out back and kill you. It's
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: a good thing you got a gun. I didn't have
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: a gun last night. What'd you hit me with then?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Table leg. I should have killed you too. You didn't
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: kill Webb... You knocked him out, that's all. What are
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: you talking about? He's dead, eh? Sure, he's dead. After
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I hit you with that table leg, I busted his
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: neck with it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: You.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: What for? So they'd hang you for it. Well, then
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: what are you doing here now? I've already admitted to
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: killing him. I got to thinking, that's why.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Thinking what?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Well, when Doc gets a look at Webb, he'll know
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you couldn't have hit him that hard. Anyway, I figured
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you'd remember about it all. Well, they'll hang you, poor man.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Not me. I'm going to kill you, and then I'm
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: going to be gone to Texas.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: You shoot me, or I'll hear you.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I ain't going to shoot you. That's my hashtag. I'm
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: going to cut you, Mike. And you won't look very
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: good when Matilda sees you. Matilda? We was friends once, Mike.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Real good friends. You know the kind. You and Matilda.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what it was like while I'm cutting
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: your throat. Get out of that cell now.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It was Plymouth, Mr. Dillon. He hit me. I'm okay now.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Mike's gone. Someone must have let him out.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Let him out? Nothing.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: He's probably killed him. Let's look out back.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Look, Mr.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Dillon.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Here you are.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: It's Bloomer.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: He's been beat to death. He sure has. His gun's missing,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: but he got that knife and the mic first. He's
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: leaving an easy trail to follow. Come on. He headed
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: for the alley. To an even run-in to Mount Elm Street.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: If he got that far....
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Got him. All right, come on.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Mike, what did you shoot for? I didn't know it
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: was you, Marshal. I thought maybe Plummer had come too. No,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Plummer's dead. You're not in very good shape yourself. He
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: cut me a little before I got to him. Ain't bad,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: but I might have killed you. Thank you for not trying, Marshal.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: We better get you up to Doc. He'll dig that
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: bullet out of your arm. Sure. By the way, Mike,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I saw Doc a few minutes ago. He'd been down
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: looking at Webb. What did you hit him with? Oh,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Plummer killed him. Told me so. He had a table leg, Marshal.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Doc figured something like that.
• 22:56
