Speaker 3: smell of Gunsmoke. Gunsmoke Gunsmoke, starring William Conrad. The transcribed
1:29
Speaker 3: story of the violence that moved west with young America.
1:32
Speaker 3: And the story of a man who moved with it.
1:35
Speaker 4: I'm that man. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first
1:40
Speaker 4: man they look for and the last they want to meet.
1:43
Speaker 4: It's a chancy job. And it makes a man watchful.
1:48
Speaker 4: And a little lonely. I'd seen it before, but every
2:10
Speaker 4: time I'd hoped I'd never see it again. A homestead,
2:15
Speaker 4: smoldering in ruins.
2:18
Speaker 4: The stock slaughtered a runoff... and the family scattered all over.
2:24
Speaker 4: A body by the corral... another in the doorway... and
2:28
Speaker 4: others buried in the ashes of the house.
2:32
Speaker 2: All of them scalped and mutilated. Chester saw at first.
2:40
Speaker 4: We were about 50 miles north of Dodge, up on
2:42
Speaker 4: the Pawnee, and my horse had gone lame from a
2:46
Speaker 4: rough four-day chase that had led to nothing. We'd lost
2:50
Speaker 4: the trail and had turned back, and Chester was riding
2:53
Speaker 4: up ahead. He stopped and waited. Then we rode up
2:58
Speaker 4: to the scene together and got on.
3:09
Speaker 2: This must be the father, Mr. Dillon.
3:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was coming out of the house to help
3:16
Speaker 4: his son over there by the corral.
3:20
Speaker 6: Well, he got one Indian before he died.
3:24
Speaker 5: Yeah.
3:32
Speaker 2: Ah, Cheyenne. Hey, wait a minute.
3:39
Speaker 4: This is why there aren't any arrows around.
3:41
Speaker 6: Gee, that's a Spencer repeating rifle.
3:46
Speaker 2: It sure is.
3:48
Speaker 6: He must have stole that somewhere, Mr.
3:49
Speaker 5: Dillon.
3:50
Speaker 7: No.
3:51
Speaker 2: No, there isn't one arrow here. The whole war party
3:54
Speaker 2: had rifles.
3:56
Speaker 6: You mean they've been buying them?
3:57
Speaker 2: Well, that's my guess.
3:59
Speaker 5: Yeah.
4:00
Speaker 6: Hey, look yonder, Mr. Dillon.
4:01
Speaker 2: Huh? They're coming over the rise there. Yeah, they're a
4:06
Speaker 2: little late. A whole troop of cavalry. Yeah, they must
4:09
Speaker 2: be from Fort Dodge. I wonder who's in command. Can't
4:14
Speaker 2: tell yet.
4:14
Speaker 6: Look at them.
4:17
Speaker 5: They're spreading out.
4:20
Speaker 6: Maybe they think we're Indians.
4:22
Speaker 4: Now, the last four days we've put in, no Indian
4:25
Speaker 4: could look as bad as we do.
4:27
Speaker 2: No, they can't.
4:29
Speaker 8: Hey.
4:30
Speaker 2: Hey, look. They're taking their rifles out there.
4:33
Speaker 9: They're going to charge us.
4:35
Speaker 2: The captain's playing safe, that's.
4:36
Speaker 5: All, Chester.
4:37
Speaker 2: Well, it may be safe for him. Just stand easy, Chester.
4:40
Speaker 6: Oh, I ain't about to move.
4:45
Speaker 2: Sergeant Freeman!
4:54
Speaker 5: Now, what's he doing?
4:57
Speaker 2: He doesn't need the whole troop up here.
5:00
Speaker 5: Who is that, anyway?
5:00
Speaker 6: I've never seen him before.
5:02
Speaker 2: Well, I heard there was a new troop at Fort Dodge.
5:04
Speaker 2: I guess this must be it.
5:05
Speaker 5: Must be.
5:06
Speaker 2: Here they come.
5:13
Speaker 9: What are you men doing here?
5:16
Speaker 5: Well, speak up.
5:18
Speaker 2: We're looking around, Captain. Same as you.
5:21
Speaker 9: Don't be insolent.
5:22
Speaker 5: Captain.
5:23
Speaker 9: What is it, Sergeant?
5:24
Speaker 5: That rifle he's holding. One of them.
5:27
Speaker 3: 44 Spencers.
5:29
Speaker 2: You're right, Sergeant.
5:30
Speaker 9: Disarm those men.
5:31
Speaker 2: Yes, sir. If I were you, I'd stand back, Sergeant.
5:36
Speaker 5: Hold your rifles on them, men. Don't be a fool.
5:39
Speaker 9: There are four of us here and 80 men behind us.
5:41
Speaker 9: You can't fight a troop of cavalry.
5:45
Speaker 2: There's your rifles, Sergeant.
5:46
Speaker 5: Is that enough, Captain?
5:48
Speaker 9: I said disarm them.
5:49
Speaker 5: Completely.
5:50
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
5:51
Speaker 9: If they make a move, you troopers shoot them.
5:54
Speaker 6: Tell him who you are, Mr.
5:55
Speaker 2: Dillon. No. Just give him your gun, Chester. Mm-hmm. All right.
6:02
Speaker 8: Here.
6:04
Speaker 2: Here's mine.
6:09
Speaker 9: Now, are you going to tell me what you're doing here?
6:12
Speaker 2: No.
6:14
Speaker 9: Then you men are prisoners. I'm taking you to Fort Dodge.
6:16
Speaker 5: What?
6:17
Speaker 2: Well, of all the crazy... Quiet, Chester. Yes, sir.
6:20
Speaker 9: Secure these men.
6:21
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
6:22
Speaker 9: And then we'll form a burial party. Shouldn't take over now, huh?
6:55
Speaker 9: Captain Nichols reporting with the prisoners, Major.
6:57
Speaker 2: Bring him in, Captain.
6:58
Speaker 5: Come on.
7:01
Speaker 2: Up to his desk. Are these your prisoners, Captain Nichols? Yes, sir. Oh.
7:13
Speaker 7: They were at the scene of the raid with a
7:14
Speaker 7: Spencer rifle, and you thought they might have something to
7:17
Speaker 7: do with the gun runners.
7:18
Speaker 2: Is that it?
7:19
Speaker 9: They wouldn't talk, and they showed signs of resistance, sir.
7:21
Speaker 9: I thought it best to bring them in.
7:23
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you talk? I got curious. Curious about what?
7:29
Speaker 4: Well, I hadn't heard about any Cheyennes being on the
7:32
Speaker 4: warpath lately.
7:32
Speaker 2: That's one reason. Yeah, what else?
7:35
Speaker 4: I found that Spencer rifle there, and I figured somebody's
7:37
Speaker 4: been selling guns to those Indians. But when the captain
7:40
Speaker 4: came up with his troop, I knew that there was
7:42
Speaker 4: more to.
7:42
Speaker 2: It than that.
7:43
Speaker 5: Why?
7:44
Speaker 4: Well, he was more interested in us than in tracking
7:47
Speaker 4: down that war party.
7:50
Speaker 2: What's going on, Major?
7:51
Speaker 5: Be civil, you.
7:51
Speaker 2: I'll handle this, Captain. Yes, sir. You know about the
7:56
Speaker 2: reservation east of here?
7:57
Speaker 4: Well, I heard that you're holding a couple of thousand
7:59
Speaker 4: Cheyennes so you.
8:00
Speaker 2: Can move them down Oklahoma way. Yeah, that's right, except
8:03
Speaker 2: for one thing. Oh, what's that?
8:05
Speaker 7: Lost a few of them. About 40, but that's enough.
8:09
Speaker 7: You saw that.
8:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. Who's leading them? Young renegade called Stone Eagle.
8:15
Speaker 4: Then why didn't the captain go after him instead of stopping.
8:17
Speaker 2: To take us prisoner?
8:18
Speaker 7: The captain's orders were to catch whoever's selling those rifles first.
8:22
Speaker 2: Thought you might have something to do with it.
8:24
Speaker 4: Sure, but he still might have been able to run
8:25
Speaker 4: down Stone Eagle's party.
8:27
Speaker 2: Well, what good did that do? Other leaders will come
8:29
Speaker 2: up and place a Stone Eagle.
8:32
Speaker 7: As long as rifles are available, there isn't a brave
8:34
Speaker 7: on that reservation that won't hear about it sooner or
8:36
Speaker 7: later and slip away from it. Well, can't you patrol
8:38
Speaker 7: the reservation? That's the whole point. I don't have enough
8:42
Speaker 7: men for more than a token patrol.
8:44
Speaker 2: Ah, I see. This gun running isn't stopped. The situation
8:49
Speaker 2: will become more and more serious. Well, I understand now, Major.
8:54
Speaker 5: Major!
8:54
Speaker 2: Now, wait, Captain. Let me explain. You're new out here.
8:58
Speaker 2: You did right bringing in these two.
8:59
Speaker 7: About as disreputable a looking pair as I've seen since
9:04
Speaker 7: the border war days.
9:07
Speaker 2: Looked like they've been living in a badger hole.
9:09
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
9:09
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. Yeah, expect they've been on a
9:12
Speaker 2: ride somewheres. Take them out, give them a bath, couple
9:15
Speaker 2: of clean shirts, and bring them back. Right, sir.
9:18
Speaker 7: Then have a couple extra places set for them in
9:20
Speaker 7: the officer's mess. Been a long time since Chester and
9:25
Speaker 7: Marshal Dillon have visited Fort Dodge.
9:28
Speaker 2: Marshal Dillon? Yeah, well, it's understandable, Captain. I'd done the
9:33
Speaker 2: same if I hadn't known him as long as I have.
9:35
Speaker 4: Now, you were acting on orders, Captain, even though your
9:38
Speaker 4: orders lack intelligence.
9:41
Speaker 2: What's that mean, Marshal? I'm sorry. I shouldn't interfere, Major.
9:46
Speaker 2: It's not my army.
9:46
Speaker 5: I want to know.
9:48
Speaker 2: Well, I meant intelligence in the military sense.
9:51
Speaker 5: Go on.
9:52
Speaker 4: Well, look, you're chasing all around over the prairie looking
9:56
Speaker 4: for some gun runners that you.
9:57
Speaker 2: Probably will never find.
9:59
Speaker 5: Why not?
9:59
Speaker 4: Well, you have found them yet, have you? No, but
10:01
Speaker 4: if you were a Cheyenne, I'll bet you could. Now,
10:04
Speaker 4: that's what I mean by intelligent. I've asked our Indian scouts. Oh,
10:08
Speaker 4: the Cheyennes hate your Indian scouts worse than they hate you.
10:11
Speaker 2: I know it. I wish I knew what to do.
10:15
Speaker 4: Major, uh, His chief long robe on that reservation.
10:22
Speaker 2: What, the old man? Mm-hmm.
10:23
Speaker 5: Yes, he is.
10:24
Speaker 1: Why?
10:25
Speaker 2: Well, he's a friend of mine. At least he was
10:27
Speaker 2: a long time ago. Go on. Well, I might have
10:33
Speaker 2: a talk with him. Impossible. Oh, why? Indians too restless.
10:38
Speaker 2: I wouldn't dare send you and a guard into that camp. Well,
10:41
Speaker 2: I'll go without a guard. They'd kill any white man
10:43
Speaker 2: walked in there alone.
10:44
Speaker 4: I'll try to reach a long robe before they do.
10:47
Speaker 2: No, not worth it, Marshal.
10:51
Speaker 4: Well, I'll let you know about that tomorrow, Major. You're
10:55
Speaker 4: going tonight?
10:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:59
Speaker 4: Might help get the picture of that homesteader and his
11:01
Speaker 4: family out of my mind before I.
11:04
Speaker 2: Try to sleep. Throw your gun belt across your saddle, Chester.
11:25
Speaker 2: Do what?
11:26
Speaker 4: The gun won't do you any good if these Cheyennes
11:28
Speaker 4: decide they want us.
11:29
Speaker 6: All right, sir.
11:34
Speaker 2: You wanted to come, Chester.
11:36
Speaker 6: Oh, I ain't complaining.
11:38
Speaker 5: Not yet, anyway.
11:41
Speaker 2: I'm okay. Let's go.
11:50
Speaker 6: Gracious, I wish I at least had me a boy, huh, Mr.
11:53
Speaker 2: Dillon? Yeah, it's late. Most of these people are asleep.
11:59
Speaker 6: These 2,000 Cheyennes in this camp, they ain't all asleep.
12:03
Speaker 1: No.
12:04
Speaker 2: No, we're being watched every second.
12:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, and some young buck could get his first coo
12:09
Speaker 6: feathered by a spirit, huh, Sid?
12:12
Speaker 2: You wouldn't want to stand in the way of a
12:13
Speaker 2: man becoming a brave, would you, Chester?
12:16
Speaker 6: I am also thinking about how they treat people that
12:19
Speaker 6: ain't killed right off, where they turn them over to
12:22
Speaker 6: the squaws for torture and stuff.
12:25
Speaker 2: Oh, now you're even afraid of women. I ain't women,
12:27
Speaker 2: I ain't. Look at there, Mr. Dillon. We're being stopped. Yeah,
12:34
Speaker 2: I see him. Let's keep walking. Don't make any quick moves. Mm-hmm.
12:48
Speaker 2: All right, let's move, Chester. But keep an eye on him.
13:02
Speaker 2: He's still standing there.
13:04
Speaker 4: No, I told him I'm a friend of Long Rogue's. Luckily,
13:06
Speaker 4: he's from the same clan.
13:08
Speaker 2: Which clan's that? White Fox. There it is. See that
13:12
Speaker 2: medicine pole over there?
13:14
Speaker 6: With the white skin on it?
13:15
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's Long Robe's lodge. All right. You better wait
13:26
Speaker 2: out here, Chester.
13:28
Speaker 6: Good.
13:33
Speaker 8: Come in, my son. Woman will give you a buffalo
13:44
Speaker 8: robe to sit on.
13:46
Speaker 2: Well, it's been a long time since we've talked, Long Robe.
14:03
Speaker 5: A long time. I know why you come.
14:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Stone Eagle.
14:10
Speaker 8: Four more braves went past soldiers last night.
14:13
Speaker 5: There'll be more tomorrow and day after.
14:15
Speaker 4: Longrob, the last time we talked, you told me it
14:20
Speaker 4: was hopeless to go on fighting the white man's army.
14:23
Speaker 2: You said that you wanted peace for your people.
14:27
Speaker 5: I am old man, my son.
14:28
Speaker 8: Stone Eagle and his braves are young. Their blood is hot.
14:34
Speaker 8: Now they have rifles that shoot many times.
14:37
Speaker 2: I thought you'd know about the rifles.
14:39
Speaker 8: Soon every brave on reservation will know. Then they will
14:43
Speaker 8: leave in spite of.
14:45
Speaker 2: Guard of soldiers. It'll lead to war, Longrope. Big war.
14:50
Speaker 8: There are many clans among Cheyennes. I am chief only
14:54
Speaker 8: of White Fox.
14:56
Speaker 2: What clan is Stone Eagle?
14:58
Speaker 5: Stone Eagle is of Two Moon clan.
15:02
Speaker 4: But there are White Fox braves with him.
15:05
Speaker 8: I cannot stop them. I remember what it was like
15:09
Speaker 8: when I was young.
15:10
Speaker 4: No, it was different then, Longrobe. You had a chance.
15:14
Speaker 4: Now they have no chance.
15:16
Speaker 5: They have many rifles.
15:17
Speaker 4: They have a few, yes. But the army has got
15:20
Speaker 4: thousands and thousands of rifles. Longrobe, in the end, the
15:24
Speaker 4: Cheyenne cannot win. He must live in peace or he
15:28
Speaker 4: will be destroyed. Now, you're a wise man. You know
15:33
Speaker 4: this is true.
15:36
Speaker 5: You are right.
15:37
Speaker 4: Stone Eagle's supply of rifles have got to be stopped.
15:40
Speaker 2: Or many of your people will die.
15:43
Speaker 5: You want to know where rifles come from?
15:46
Speaker 2: Just tell me where Stone Eagle meets the white men
15:48
Speaker 2: who have been supplying him. And I'll do the rest.
15:54
Speaker 2: You'll be saving lives, Longrope. Cheyenne lives.
16:00
Speaker 8: For the sake of my people, I tell you. Place
16:04
Speaker 8: north of here. Place near Rock Mound. There is cabin there.
16:10
Speaker 2: Rock Mound. All right, I'll find it.
16:13
Speaker 5: But I must warn you, my son.
16:15
Speaker 2: What?
16:16
Speaker 5: I know the feelings of my people. They are like powder.
16:20
Speaker 2: I know.
16:21
Speaker 5: It is more than you know.
16:23
Speaker 8: Go. Find white men with guns. But not kill any
16:28
Speaker 8: of Stone Eagle's warriors. If you do, word will come
16:33
Speaker 8: and every brave here will rise and.
16:34
Speaker 5: Go on warpath. whether they have rifles or not.
16:39
Speaker 8: If one single Cheyenne is killed by cavalry or by you,
16:44
Speaker 8: this will happen.
16:46
Speaker 2: That's as bad as that, huh?
16:47
Speaker 5: I speak the truth.
16:50
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Longrope. When it's over, I'll come back
16:57
Speaker 2: and we'll smoke the pipe.
17:00
Speaker 5: If you come back.
17:03
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. If I come back. We're right on in, Marshal.
17:37
Speaker 5: He's waiting for you.
17:37
Speaker 2: Thank you, Sergeant. Come in, Marshal. Good morning, Captain. Good morning.
17:48
Speaker 2: Where's Major Honeyman?
17:50
Speaker 9: The Major was ordered to Fort Larned for a few days.
17:53
Speaker 2: Oh, I see.
17:54
Speaker 1: I'm in command until the Major's return. Did you find
17:57
Speaker 1: out anything last night, Marshal?
17:59
Speaker 2: Well, I know where Stone Eagle meets the gun runners.
18:02
Speaker 5: You do?
18:04
Speaker 9: Then our problem is solved.
18:06
Speaker 2: Uh, not quite.
18:08
Speaker 1: All I have to do is take my troop there,
18:10
Speaker 1: wait for Stone Eagle to come for more rifles.
18:12
Speaker 9: I can wipe out him and the gunrunners at the
18:14
Speaker 9: same time.
18:15
Speaker 5: No. No? Why not?
18:18
Speaker 2: Chief Longrobe's a wise old man, Captain. He knows his
18:21
Speaker 2: people well. So? If one brave is killed, there'll be
18:26
Speaker 2: an uprising. There's an uprising already, Marshal?
18:29
Speaker 4: Only some 40 or 50 men. This'll be the whole
18:31
Speaker 4: Cheyenne nation. It doesn't make sense. Maybe not to us,
18:35
Speaker 4: but it does to them. And long robe never lies.
18:40
Speaker 2: I'll chance it.
18:42
Speaker 1: I'll kill every one of Stone Eagle's braves. That'll show
18:44
Speaker 1: them what cavalry's for. Now, where is this meeting place?
18:51
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Captain.
18:54
Speaker 5: Sorry?
18:54
Speaker 2: I can't tell you. I order you to tell me.
19:06
Speaker 2: Very well, then.
19:07
Speaker 9: It's your duty to tell me.
19:10
Speaker 4: You're all right, Captain, but you're new out here and
19:13
Speaker 4: you're too eager. Indians are the Army's business, so you
19:17
Speaker 4: do what you want. I'm going back to Dodge. It
19:27
Speaker 4: was true. The Indian problem belonged to the Army. But
19:31
Speaker 4: renegade white gun runners, well, that was different. About a
19:36
Speaker 4: mile down the road to Dodge, Chester and I turned
19:39
Speaker 4: north and rode hard for Rock Mound.
19:42
Speaker 2: We reached it next day. And sure enough, a half
19:46
Speaker 2: a mile away, we found the.
19:40
Speaker 4: BF-WATCH TV 2021.
20:10
Speaker 2: Mr.
20:10
Speaker 5: Dillon?
20:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chester.
20:13
Speaker 5: I just thought of something. Good.
20:15
Speaker 2: That walk of yours was beginning to reach me.
20:19
Speaker 6: I'm serious. What if them Indians show up first before
20:23
Speaker 6: the gun runners do?
20:25
Speaker 2: Work on something else, Chester. What? I thought of that myself. Yeah,
20:29
Speaker 2: but what would we do? I don't know. Join them,
20:32
Speaker 2: I guess. Oh, now, Mr.
20:34
Speaker 5: Dillon.
20:34
Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Pull him up by the cabin, Jim.
20:42
Speaker 2: Those aren't Indians. All right, take your place, Justice. Here,
20:45
Speaker 2: get over here. And don't shoot unless I do. Quiet now.
20:53
Speaker 5: Leave the wagon here.
20:54
Speaker 7: Let's go inside and get a drink.
20:56
Speaker 9: You're welcome.
20:57
Speaker 2: Here you go.
21:07
Speaker 5: Made it just in time.
21:08
Speaker 9: It's already sundown.
21:09
Speaker 2: Hold it, you two.
21:11
Speaker 5: Shoot, Jeff.
21:11
Speaker 8: Hold up.
21:22
Speaker 9: You killed both of them, Mr.
21:23
Speaker 5: Dillon.
21:23
Speaker 2: I didn't even get a shot on. This one's still alive.
21:26
Speaker 5: Who are you?
21:30
Speaker 2: A U.S. Marshal.
21:36
Speaker 5: I'm going to die, Marshal.
21:39
Speaker 4: Is that wagon full of rifles?
21:41
Speaker 5: And ammunition. I'm supplied from Wichita.
21:51
Speaker 8: But it ain't going to do you no good to
21:54
Speaker 8: know that now.
21:57
Speaker 5: You're going to die too.
21:59
Speaker 6: What?
22:01
Speaker 5: Them Indians. They're never late.
22:06
Speaker 9: When they're out of ammunition, they'll be here any minute.
22:16
Speaker 2: I wish I could stay to watch.
22:20
Speaker 5: What they do to you.
22:31
Speaker 6: Oh, he must have been lying.
22:33
Speaker 2: Why should he have lied? Well, then we'd better run
22:36
Speaker 2: for it. Now they'd catch us.
22:38
Speaker 1: Easy.
22:39
Speaker 6: Won't be much of a fight. Two men against a
22:42
Speaker 6: half a hundred Cheyennes. But we can kill some of them,
22:45
Speaker 6: by golly.
22:46
Speaker 2: And start a war. I forgot about that. Yeah, no
22:54
Speaker 2: matter what we do, they'll get those rifles. Unless we
22:59
Speaker 2: can destroy them.
23:02
Speaker 9: That wagon looks plumb full, Mr.
23:03
Speaker 5: Dillon.
23:05
Speaker 6: I swear, there must be 30, 40 in there at least. Hey,
23:09
Speaker 6: we could gather up some wood and fire that wagon.
23:13
Speaker 2: No, it's too late, Chester.
23:15
Speaker 5: What?
23:15
Speaker 2: Look, coming over that rise there.
23:18
Speaker 5: Try hands.
23:21
Speaker 6: There's only two of them, though.
23:23
Speaker 2: Scouts.
23:23
Speaker 4: The war party will come when they signal. We couldn't
23:26
Speaker 4: get their fires started.
23:27
Speaker 2: All right. Hey, Mr.
23:33
Speaker 1: Dillon.
23:34
Speaker 6: Them scouts disappeared?
23:35
Speaker 2: Huh? Yeah, that's funny. Hey, Chester.
23:41
Speaker 5: What? Out there.
23:44
Speaker 2: Well, glory be. That's what those Cheyenne scouts were looking at.
23:47
Speaker 2: Captain Nichols, huh?
23:48
Speaker 9: Yeah. That troop ain't moving very fast.
23:52
Speaker 4: They're still tracking us, riding slow and watching the ground.
23:55
Speaker 6: Oh, them Indians will be halfway to Kennedy by the
23:58
Speaker 6: time he gets here.
23:59
Speaker 2: I hope so. Anyway, Stone Eagle's finished now that he's
24:02
Speaker 2: out of ammunition.
24:05
Speaker 6: That Captain Nichols sure didn't trust you none, did he, Mr.
24:09
Speaker 2: Dillon? Well, Chester, we better go comb our hair.
24:14
Speaker 3: All right.
24:15
Speaker 5: Comb our... Why?
24:17
Speaker 4: I don't want to get taken prisoner again. We still
24:20
Speaker 4: look like we've been living in a badger hole.
