  Speaker 2: man they look for and the last they want to meet.
• 1:53

• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And a little lonely. Just listen to that miserable old coyote, Mr.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Dillon.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Did you hear.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Him?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, I heard him, Chester. Are we going to stop
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: in for long, Brad?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: There's no reason to. It's late. It's too quiet for
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: anything to be going on.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Well, what I was thinking... I sure could do with
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: some beer to go to bed on. If anybody was buying.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: All right. Come on.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: The place does sound kind of like a morgue tonight,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: don't it?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it won't until the end of next month when
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the trail herds start rolling in. You'll be lucky to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: get your foot in, son.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Been waiting for you, Marshal. Get your hands up.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Red. I won't argue with a shotgun.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: That's what we figured.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: Take his gun, Red.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: You... You don't mind, do you, Marshal?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. Do what Hack says. He's the one who
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: gives the orders the way I hear it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: You shut up, Marshal. Neither one of us gives orders.
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't know you boys were in this part of
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the country.
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: That's far enough, right there.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: Unless you want to see this little lady here get
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: her pretty looks all spoiled.
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: Matt, I tried to think of some way to get
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: word to you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: That's all right, Kitty. Just take it easy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: That's the idea, Marshal. You too, just take it easy.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Everything will be all right.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You got what you came after, Hack, or are you
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: still trying to get it? We got it. We've been
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: through all the boys.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: Pockets, along with the safe and the cash box. Just
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: fixing to leave when you stumbled in.
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: We didn't have a chance, Matt.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: They walked in with their shotguns and said Kitty would
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: be the first one to go.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Forget it, Doug. These boys Tollett and Slater wanted in
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a half a dozen states for bank robbery, stage holdup, murder.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: How come you were so quick to recognize us, Marshal?
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: We ain't been around here before.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: No, but your pictures have them. You must have slipped
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: into Dodge pretty quiet, huh?
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: That's right, Marshal.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: I'm going to slip out the same way.
• 4:40
  Speaker 9: I suppose you line up over there with the rest
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: of the targets.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Go.
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: Kind of expected more out of you, Marshal, from what
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: I heard about you.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Is that so?
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: Reputation's mighty easy to come by sometimes. All right, all
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: of you.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: We're riding out of here now. We don't aim to
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: get followed. Red, take her arm, Red. I don't care.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: What are you doing?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I figure you boys won't.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Be so likely to try nothing if you go along.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: With us away.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Matt.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Does that tell you, Kitty?
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: You'll be all right.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: Anybody pokes his head out this door next few minutes
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: gets it shot off.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Same thing will happen.
• 5:27
  Speaker 9: To the lady.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: You keep the boys in line, Marshal.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: We've got a nice little town here. Been a pleasure
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: to visit it. Let's go.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: What are we going to do, Mr.
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: Dillon?
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Nothing, Chester. Oh, dang it, Matt.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: Let's get a posse going. Get some organized here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: They took $ 14 off of me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You just got to stand there. Hold it, Doc. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the rest of you, shut up. Simmer down now. Take
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it easy and stay away from that door.
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: Matt, we can't just let them ride out.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Doc, they got Kitty with them and they're killers. One
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: move from us and they'll do exactly what they said
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: they'd do to her.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe they will anyway.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: We'll give her the best chance we're able. That's all
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: we can do.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Doggone it, I just can't figure it, Mr. Dillon.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Well, we've spent from midnight last night until noon today
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: checking every trail out of Dodge. Tobiel and his scouts
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: have worked the river bottom for ten miles each way.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: The whole countryside's on the lookout for them. Two men
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and a woman. They can't just disappear.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Well, they sure done it so far.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they sure done it so far. Come on, Chester, let's...
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Walk up the street and get something to eat, huh?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: First time in all my recollection I ain't had no
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: appetite to speak of.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it won't help Kitty any to starve yourself.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I got kindly a bad feeling there ain't nothing gonna
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: help her, Mr.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: Jones.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I figure they've had time now to get far enough
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: away they won't need her no longer.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Why don't you shut up? Chester, I'm... I'm sorry I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: didn't mean to....
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I can understand.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we both do.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Well, good afternoon, Matt. Hey, Chester.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Hello, Doc.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Did you find any trace of him?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: No, nothing. You, uh, want to have a bite to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: eat with us?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I just ate about an hour ago, but I
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: might sit down with you for some pie and some coffee.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: If Chester can spare a little. I ain't thinking much
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: about food today, Doc. Oh, is that so? Well, Chester,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: if you ever reach my age, you'll realize come fire
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: and brimstone, chaos and calamity, the first thing a man
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: better look out for is his stomach. Yes, sir. As
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: soon as he starts going off his feet, he starts
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: going downhill. You betcha. And when he starts to go downhill... Oh,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I sure hope Kitty's all right.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: We all hope so, Doc. Hey, that was Kitty.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: That was down the street there somewhere.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on. No wonder there was no trail. They
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: never even left town. They planned to hole up for
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: a night or two and then ride out after the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: search was all over.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Miss Kitty must have broke loose for a minute, huh?
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: Matthews!
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: Matthews!
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Save it, Miles. There's trouble up the street.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: It's not up the street.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: It's right over there in my store.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: What?
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Upstairs in the storage loft. Bye, Jing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: He's right, Mr.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Dillon. There's a pane of glass broke out up there.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Aye. Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Is there another window in the back, Miles?
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: Aye.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Same as the one in the front.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I reckon they've seen us, all right.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Chester, you go cover that back window, huh?
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: I mean, she's still alive.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So far.
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: They're certainly mighty quiet up there, Matthew.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Nothing to talk about, I guess.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Well, they know they can't get out of there.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: No, Doc, and we can't get in. Matt, suppose we
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: set fire to the building. Oh, no, you're not.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: You're not setting fire to my store. Not if they
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: stay up there for the next year, you're not.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: If they just didn't have Kitty up there with them,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it'd be easy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: Sure, just wait for them to starve out.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Or else burn the place down.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Will you stop seeing that duck?
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: Well, it's going to be dark before long, Matt.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: Why don't they give up?
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: They know they haven't got a chance.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: They have as long as they got Kitty, Doc. I
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe they're finally ready to talk. Yeah. Hey, Red! Hack!
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: Careful, careful, man.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: You're beaten, you know it. Why don't you throw your
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: guns out of that window and come on down?
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Suppose we throw the lady out instead, Marshal.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Look, both of you. If anything happens to her, you
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: know what to expect.
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: And if anything happens to her, she knows what to expect.
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: Why don't you go on home, Marshal? Take that crowd
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: of yokels with you.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: We can hold out a lot longer than you can
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: But maybe not longer than the lady can.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, so help me.
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: If I get my hands on his.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Hack!
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Suppose we get together and talk it over, huh? Maybe
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we can work something out.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Get together how?
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: You aiming to come up here and visit us?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Unless you want to meet down here in the street.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: You'd like that, wouldn't you?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Well, what about it?
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: Come by yourself?
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Without your gun?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure. Anything you want.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Wait a second, Matt.
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: All right, Marshal.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Deal yourself in.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: You gone clean out your mind, Matt?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: You know any other way I can get under that
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: storage loft, Doctor?
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but without a gun? Matt, you're just a plain
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: doggone fool.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe. But there's times when being a fool's about the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: wisest thing a man can do.
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: You're saying this is one of the times?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Doctor. I sure hope so. Here, Doc,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: take care of my gun, will you?
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: You ain't really gonna do it, are you, Mr.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Dillon?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Sure, he's gonna do it, the bullheaded idiot. But them
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: two's killers.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Chester, you're supposed to be around there watching that back window.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I got Sam Noonan to take over.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Dillon, listen to me now. You just can't do it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: There's nothing else to do, Chester.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Well, dang it, Matthew. If it'd do any good, I'd
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: say go ahead and burn the place. The stock up
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: there in that loft isn't worth much anyhow.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: What is up there, Miles?
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, odds and ends mostly. Stuff I don't need to
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: get that often.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: The thing that's worth the most is their 20 sacks
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: of concentrates.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, concentrates?
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Black iron pyrites.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Powdered.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I took them in trade from the Black Hawk mine.
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: Huh? I have been aiming to ship.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Them east of the smelter. They run pretty high in silver.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't guess Red and Hack will be very
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: interested in sacks of concentrates.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Marshal! You lose your nerve?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I'll be right with you, Hack.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: They'll shoot you down before you get halfway across the street.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Why, Chester. That's what they're figuring. They can do it
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a lot easier after I'm there.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: Mr.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Dillon, I.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, never mind, Chester.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Good luck, Matt.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Doc.
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: You make a mighty fine target down there, Marshal.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I'll make a better one at ten feet, Hack. If
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you can keep your nerve that close.
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: Listen to him, Red. He talks real brave, don't he?
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: The stairs is over there to the side, Marshal.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I know that. It's my town, Hack, remember?
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: You don't run it too good, you know. Hurry up, Marshal,
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: before one of your boys down there gets no shoes.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Are you worried, Red?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: You never see the day. Shucks.
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: He's like a little lamb in a loading chute. Matt
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: shouldn't have done it. They're not going to let you
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: out of here.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Take it easy, Kitty.
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry, Matt.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Are you all right?
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: You wouldn't have done a fool thing like this if
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: it weren't for me being here.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Sure I would have. It's part of my job, Kitty.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Teaching boys like these a little respect for the law.
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: Marshal.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: Did you come up here to talk to me or
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: this lady here?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: What do you say, me, Heck? Doesn't Red even count?
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: Well, you know what I mean.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I just wonder how long it's going
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: to take Red to learn.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, shut up, Red. He's just trying to start trouble.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: But all right, what does he mean? Learn what?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: You got your orders, didn't you, Red? Heck told you
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: to shut up.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: I don't take orders from him or nobody else.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: Red, will you listen? Don't you see what he's trying
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: to do?
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: What?
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: Trying to make bad feeling betwixt us.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Talking a pack of lies.
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: He's trying to start us fighting each other.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, sure he is.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: You're easy to fool, aren't you, Red? You believe anything?
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: All right, that's enough now, Marshal. Just one more word
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: like that, I'll blow you in half.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Hack, you haven't got a chance. I thought you'd realize
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: that by now.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: There's two shotguns against your bare hands says we've got
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: a chance.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can't use those guns up here. What?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Didn't you even bother to take a look at these
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: sacks here?
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: What are you doing there?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Just hooking a spur in one of them and ripping
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: it open. You could have done the same thing, Hack.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: Well... Just some black dust of some kind.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Let's toss some up in the air. Don't you recognize it?
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: Don't get the air all full of that stuff.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Did neither one of you ever work around a mine?
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I did.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Then take a closer look, Red. Don't you know black
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: powder when you see it?
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: It's blasting powder.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: That's what it is.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: It's gunpowder.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: No.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: You better lay those shotguns down easy, boys. You pull
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a trigger and this whole place will go up in
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: one big blast.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: You're right, Red. We can't shoot nobody in here.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: You'll stand a better chance going to trial.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: That's why you come up here.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Without a gun. All right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: Don't use my gun.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: But we're still two against one, Marshal. Come on, Red.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: Jump and.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: All right, come on, Red. It's even now, and I'm
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: going to break your neck.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: No.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: No, no, not me. You win, Marshal.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: All right, then help Hack onto his feet. I'll take
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the shotguns along. All right, get moving, Red.
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: Hey, you're holding that shotgun like you was going to
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: use it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Just in case you change your mind.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: What?
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Why didn't you jump and.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: What's he doing with that gun? Oh, he can't use
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: it no more than we could.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: Oh, not with all that powder.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Well, now, Miles could be wrong. Maybe it is gunpowder.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: What are you saying?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I know it looks like gunpowder. But if it is,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Miles got fooled. He bought it for concentrates. Black iron pyrites.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: It ain't gunpowder. He fooled us.
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: A liar. How about that? A lawman. And cheats for lying.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a liar, all right. I'll admit it. But
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: it beats being what you are. All right, now get moving.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Down those stairs.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Go on.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: You know, on the frontier, you could tell what part
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: of the country a man was from and how he
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: made his living from the saddle he rode. Centerfire, three-quarter rig,
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: Cheyenne roll, Mexican, California, or McClellan. The only trouble was,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: you still couldn't know whether he was out to kill
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: you or not.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: That was Gunsmoke, Spring Fresh It. This is Victor Sterling.
• 18:43
