  Speaker 3: Around Dodge City and in the Territory on West, there's
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: gun smoke.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: The End.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: John Luke Ford, starring William Conrad. The story of the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: violence that moved west with young America. And the story
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: of a man who moved with it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I'm that man.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first man they look
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: for and the last they want to meet.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: It's a chancy job. And it makes a man watchful.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And a little lonely. You going out soon, Mr. Jones? Yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it's a little early yet, Chester, and things seem quiet enough.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: But why do you ask? Well, sir, I thought I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: might rev your thoughts up a little bit when you go.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: That's nice.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Well, now, night wasn't made just for sleeping. That's what
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: my mommy used to tell us.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You know, Chester, I'll bet you a dollar to a dime.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: It was your father who said that. My papa?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course it was.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Did I say my mama? Well, I never meant that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: My goodness alive, no. She didn't even do nothing after
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: dark except reading the Bible.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And out loud. Did you know, Harm? Anyway, you've more
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: than made up for it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I ain't such a wild one as all I am.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Chester.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Every now and then you've got a look in your
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: eye that's.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So trouble for some pretty girl. Now, that is pure oxygen.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Pure oxygen. That was close by. Come on.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Right in the feet, Jesse.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see him. Nobody else around. Take a look
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: down the alley. Okay. Sure.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Danny, your bat hurt. Shot me right in the back.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Must have been in the alley there. One of you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: men go find Doc, huh? Any idea who it was, Danny? No.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: None at all. I ain't got an enemy in the world. No, huh?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: But has anybody, anybody at all said anything lately or
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: done anything that might have led to this?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: No. No. Did you see him at all? No, sir.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But I did hear him say something about Stone, Marshal.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: That's all I heard. Stone. A man's name? Could be. Anyway,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that's all I heard.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: He thought I was somebody called Stone. I don't know. Well,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know no Stone. Not around here, anyway.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Were you, then? No, I don't. All right.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: A couple of you men, get.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Him up to dock. Come on, Chester. Come on.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Dayton's such a nice, peaceable fellow. That's a dynamite chain,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: that's what it is. You want some more coffee?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah. Yeah, there you.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Go.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Melody's right, Chester. He got shot by mistake. How come
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you're so sure? His hat, for one thing. Yeah, it's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the same shape and the same color as mine. Yeah?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh. When Dane and I are built enough alike, we're
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: close enough in size that somebody could possibly make a mistake.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Especially at night.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe, but that's treacherous. Don't ask me. Except for
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: one thing. I once knew a man named Stone. You
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: knew him? You mean he's dead? Mm-hmm. Well, but if
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: he's dead, then it couldn't have been him. Stone had
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a friend called Danch. Might have been Danch. Why?
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Now, they were both cow thieves down in Matagorda County,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: it was. One day, Danch found his friend's stone hung
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: from a live oak tree. Now, I haven't seen Danch
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: since that event, but I've heard that he's often sworn
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: publicly that he's going to kill me for it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Who? Did you? No, Chester.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Probably some cattleman caught him using a straight iron and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: practiced a little quick justice. I wasn't even around.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I don't hang people. Anyway, if it was Danch, he's
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: probably still in Dodge. He'd have heard he shot the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: wrong man soon enough. Were you going to look for him?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Better than letting him look for me. Especially seeing the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: way he goes about it. Well, what's he look like?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: In case I see him first. He's tall, son. He's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: got one mark you can't miss. Maybe it's not on
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: his left side, anyway. What's that? He had a fight somewhere.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: He got his ear chewed off.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Well, unless he's grown another, that ought to make him
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: easy enough to fight. I might wander around and see
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: if he's going out of the box. All right, Chester.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to make a round to the saloon. I'll
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: be at the long branch last. Okay, sir. You sure
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you don't want a drink, man? No, not tonight, Kitty.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You must be expecting trouble. Maybe. Have you heard the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: name Dance around here lately? Dance?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: No, no, I haven't.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: What's he look like? He's a tall man, missing an ear. Oh, yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I saw a fellow like that a couple of nights ago.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He's in here real late. Is that so? You haven't
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: seen him since?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I could ask the other girl. Uh, Mr.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Dillon?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, Miss Kitty. Hello, Chester. Uh, Mr. Dillon, you know
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that cheap moving house at the edge of town in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: what they call the Prairie Dog's Hole? Yeah, what about it?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Uh, Chester, I went to every other place, and then
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I tried it just on a chance, and sure enough,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: he was there.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You mean you saw him? No, he's gone. They said
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: he rode in after dark last night, and he left
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: for a dollar. He hasn't been back since. He took
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: me forward with him. Maybe it wasn't any of that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: at all, huh? Maybe not, Chester. But I think I'll
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: keep sniffing the air just the same.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: The next afternoon about sundown, Dane Shaw suddenly died. He
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: hadn't been badly hurt, but as Doc said, you never
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: know how a man's heart will react. Anyway, Dane, a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: man without an enemy in the world, was dead. Murdered.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And a place of me.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: That night I was walking down Front Street thinking about
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: it and wondering why it's the innocent that so often
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: get hurt when.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Well, at.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Once I had a feeling I was being followed. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: walked on until I reached an alley and then I
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: turned into it casually. Once out of sight, I ran
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: halfway down it and ducked behind a rain barrel and waited.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: A few seconds later, I knew I'd been right. Don't
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: kill me. Don't kill me, Michael. Well, that depends on you, Mr. Now,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: get up. You got my gun. I went on. You
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: went off when you jumped me, that's all.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Shut up and turn around.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: That hill's right around the corner. Walk ahead of me
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and walk careful.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I will. Sure, I will. That's it. Now open the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: door and go right on in. Sure, Marshal. Well, I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: can't believe it, Mr. Phillips. I don't know. Who are you, mister?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: My name is Lee. Lee what? Bill Lee. All right, Lee,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: now when did you follow me down that alley with
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a gun in your hand? I wasn't following you, Marshal. Oh,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: what were you doing? Well, I was just.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Dark down there and I didn't want to take any chances.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: All right, Lee.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Did you shoot Dane Shaw last night?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Are you... Look here, Marshal, you can't drag me in
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: here and accuse me of... Shut up.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: All I want out of you is one thing, to
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: dance hair you to kill me.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You got nothing on me, Marshal. I never heard of
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: no dance. All right, lock him up, Chester. Lock me up?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: What for? A lion. Now, wait a minute. I shall
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: eat it. Sure.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Is. No, I'm... You can't put me in jail. You
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: show him what we can do, Chester. All right, sir.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: All right, mister. Right through that door. Door? I see
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you tried for this, Marshal. I know my right.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: The only right you've got left is to be hung,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and I hope it takes place real soon. Every morning,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Chester brought Lee out of his cell and I questioned him,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: but he admitted nothing day after day. We kept him
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: in jail anyway and I hoped Danch should hear.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Of it and come into town to do the job himself.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: But it isn't a good feeling to walk down the
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: street and know that any minute you might get shot
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: in the back.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Finally, I got tired of it. I wanted to know
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: where Danch was. You're wasting your time, Marshal.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Look, for the last time, are you going to tell
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: me where Danch is? I've told you a hundred times,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know Danch.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Why do you make his deal with him?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know nothing about no deal.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I'm an innocent man, Marshal, and as soon as I
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: get out of here, I'm going to write the government
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: about it. Tell me, Lee, how does it feel to
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: kill a man for money?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, don't you look at me, Marshal.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Nobody's paid me nothing. Well, what about you? You get
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: paid for shooting people... You get paid regular for it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Me?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I think I'll hit you right on the head and
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: drag you back to your cell like this.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure. I'm not... Wait a minute, Chester. Let him be. No,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I think that's an obviously key boy. I know, but
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I got a better idea of what to do with him. What?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting anywhere this way. Lee just isn't going
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: to tell us anything. He's got his mind made up.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything, I told you.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: So keeping him locked up isn't going to help turn
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: him loose.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's about time. You can't do that. He'll
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: just try to kill you again for a chance again.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: All right, go on, Lee. You're free. Get out of here.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: You really mean it, Marshal? You heard me. There's your gun.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Take it. Don't pick it up by the button. Oh,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't try nothing, Marshal. If you die, if you're dead,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you're not fast enough to kill me face to face. No,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't try. Goodbye, Marshal Chester. I'm leaving. I'm
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: taking the next train to Abilene. I'll leave.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Just one thing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: What?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: You said I get paid for shooting people. Oh, no, Marshal,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean nothing. No, in a way, you're right.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I have to when there's no other way out.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: But I won't get paid for shooting you. What? No,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I figure killing you will.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Be part pleasure and part self-defense.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Well, what are you talking about, Marshal? Just that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but why do you want to shoot me? I
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: don't like men of your kind. Well, Marshal, you can't...
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I can't let you get any farther than that boardwalk.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I'd be a fool if I did. Now, you go
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: on out the door, Lee, and I'm coming right after you. No, no.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I'll feel a lot safer with you dead. Go on, now. No,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I'm staying right here. I'll kill you right here. You're armed? No.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I'll give you my gun.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I'll touch it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Don't kill me, Marshal. Don't kill me. I'll tell you.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you anything you want. Too late. You'll probably
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: lie anyway. Oh, no. No, Marshal. No, I won't. You
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: listen to me.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Gant is down the Santa Fe Trail about 75 miles
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: across the Cimarron, a place called Wagon Bed Springs.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: He is. He's waiting there for me. He waiting to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: pay me. When I.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: When you kill me, is that right?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to kill you, Marshal. No, I.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Take his gun, Chester, before he changes his mind. He's
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: a pretty brave man.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure. Take it. There he is, Mr. Jones. I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: told you. Now let me go now.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You know, Darge isn't going to like you having killed
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the wrong man and me still walking around in good health, Lee.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: And the law wouldn't like it if I turned a
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: murderer loose. Lock him up, Chester, and then.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Get the horses.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: You know the way, Lee. Wagon Bed Springs boasted a
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: hotel with a half a dozen rooms, a restaurant, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: two saloons all built out of adobe. It was just
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: a stopping point for bullwackers and mule skinners driving their
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: freight wagons along the Santa Fe Trail. When night came,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Chester and I rode in on the corral for our
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: horses and scouted the town. Dance wasn't anywhere in sight,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: so I decided to begin asking questions.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're supposed to meet a friend here. I have,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: but can't find him. If he's in Wagon Bay Springs,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: you can find him. This ain't a big town like
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Dodge and Embley. I wish it was. You know, I'd
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: like to see Dodge sometime. That's where my.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Friend may have gone, but maybe you saw him when
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: he passed through here.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: A tall man, one ear.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, calls himself Danch. Well, sure, I know him. He
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: was here quite a while.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But he left just yesterday.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He's gone to Texas. He should not have died. That so?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: He tell you that? Well, that's what he said when
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: he left. All right, thanks. Sure. You staying here long?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: No, not long.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Here's for the beer. We'll be back soon.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Say, did you move in there, Mr.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Miller?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Are we really going to eat pepper again?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Just to that barkeep said he'd never seen Dodge. He
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: was there last fall. I remember his face. If he
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: was in Dodge, he knows who I am. Banch is
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: here somewhere, and that barkeep's going to get word to
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: him mighty fast.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Now, come on. Let's get across the street. Where are
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: we going?
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: We'll follow him when he goes to tell Banch I'm here.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: He'll leave it so that he thinks we're in a restaurant.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: He won't see us here. Can I go with you?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: If you stay out of the way. I will.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I figured it right. And in a few minutes, the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: barkeep came out onto the street and walked down toward
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the edge of town.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: We followed some distance.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Behind until he reached a small doby hut.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: There he knocked and then disappeared inside.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: The hut had no windows, we could see, but I
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: sent Chester around back to make sure.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: He returned in a moment and I told him to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: wait while I went up to the door. Who is it?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: You're trapped, Dash. Come out with your hands up. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: didn't mean to say that, so I ought to. You've
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: got nothing to do with it. I'm getting out of here. Marshall,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I'm coming out. I ain't doing all right, so don't shoot. Okay,

• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I'll take him. Keep an eye on him. Come on, you.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I won't do anything. He paid me to warn him,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: that's all.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: You're in a bad spot, Dad.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: You can rot in there.

• 17:25
  Speaker 2: That's a lie. That doesn't matter.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: How come you hired Lee to shoot me? You lost
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: your nerve?
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Too many settlement in Dallas is why.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I forgot your reputation with cows.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And I don't care how you die anyway.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: You talk big for a man who's practically buried.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I'm coming out, Simmons. I found out with a gun.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Don't do it, Danch.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I'll have to kill you.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I hang anyways, and I just might get you. I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: backed off around the corner of the hut and waited.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Danch opened the door wide, and.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Then suddenly he sprang out, a gun.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Ready in each hand, expecting to face me.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: He stood there for a second before he realized he'd
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: been trapped again. And then he made his choice and
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: started to the corner of the hut where I was.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Drop a dash, huh? Did you do it? Okay, Chester.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Is he dead? Yeah. Well, he tried to kill you, Marshal.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: It was self-defense, pure self-defense.

• 18:43
  Speaker 2: him go, Chester. He's a scum. All right. Very good, mister.
