- 1:48Speaker 2: Gunsmoke.
- 2:15Speaker 5: Hand me that bottle, Zach.
- 2:16Speaker 6: It's been a long, dusty trail up from Texas.
- 2:20Speaker 2: I don't care to ride in the dog's sober. Stay
- 2:23Speaker 2: on that. Now, don't kill it.
- 2:27Speaker 5: I come up the same trail you did.
- 2:28Speaker 6: I'm just as dry.
- 2:29Speaker 7: I hope I never see another mosshorn steer. I'm going
- 2:38Speaker 7: to settle down and be a bartender or something easy
- 2:40Speaker 7: like that.
- 2:42Speaker 6: Tomorrow, you'll wish you was back trailing cattle.
- 2:45Speaker 7: You'll wish you never seen Dodge.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Hey, come on.
- 2:48Speaker 7: My turn on that bottle.
- 2:50Speaker 2: By tomorrow, maybe there won't be no Dodge.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Maybe we'll have torn it plumb apart.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Oh.
- 2:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 6: They hear the cougar howl tonight.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:02Speaker 5: And then look yonder.
- 3:03Speaker 7: Well, that there's a hollow for a gander. Let's start
- 3:06Speaker 7: with it.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Tell them we're here, Zack.
- 3:09Speaker 6: Show them how we live in Texas.
- 3:11Speaker 1: All right, hold it there. Put a bullet through his hat, Zack.
- 3:26Speaker 6: Shoot his heels away.
- 3:27Speaker 4: Get down off those horses.
- 3:29Speaker 7: All right, sure.
- 3:30Speaker 4: I'll get down, mister.
- 3:33Speaker 5: That's what I come here for. All the way from Texas.
- 3:37Speaker 2: You're welcome here. But don't get any notions about shooting
- 3:40Speaker 2: up this town.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Who are you, anyway?
- 3:43Speaker 2: I'm a U.S.
- 3:43Speaker 5: Marshal.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And I'll take your gun until you're sober enough to
- 3:46Speaker 2: carry it again.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Nobody takes my gun.
- 3:49Speaker 2: All right, then ride back to camp. Don't let him
- 3:51Speaker 2: buffalo you, Zack. He won't.
- 3:55Speaker 5: Mister, I'm staying.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Me and my gun.
- 3:58Speaker 6: And there'll be a marshal for breakfast if you try
- 4:01Speaker 6: to stop me.
- 4:03Speaker 2: All right, I won't. I'm going to kill you for
- 4:10Speaker 2: doing that. That was awful close, Mr.
- 4:13Speaker 7: Dillon.
- 4:13Speaker 3: I saw the whole thing.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Yeah, another drunken cowboy with more fire than scent.
- 4:25Speaker 5: Well, you had to kill him.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Take his gun, Chester.
- 4:30Speaker 5: Yes, sir. Give me that.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Don't shoot me.
- 4:33Speaker 5: No, nobody ain't gonna shoot you, mister.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Get on your feet. Yeah, come on, get up.
- 4:39Speaker 7: Oh.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Busted my head. You'll be all right. But your friend
- 4:44Speaker 2: tried to shoot me. He's dead. What? You killed him.
- 4:50Speaker 2: To keep him from killing me.
- 4:51Speaker 6: There'd be trouble about this, Marshal.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Now, don't you get anything like that started.
- 4:57Speaker 5: Oh, not me.
- 4:59Speaker 7: His brother, Howard Buelow.
- 5:02Speaker 2: He's out to camp.
- 5:04Speaker 4: I know him, Marshal.
- 5:05Speaker 5: He'd come after you.
- 5:07Speaker 2: All right, I'll be here.
- 5:09Speaker 6: It won't be like that. Howard wouldn't face no gunfighter.
- 5:13Speaker 6: He'd shoot you in the back or from alley at night.
- 5:17Speaker 6: I know him, Marshal.
- 5:18Speaker 5: It'll happen.
- 5:19Speaker 2: You want to bury your friend here or take him
- 5:21Speaker 2: back to camp?
- 5:23Speaker 5: I'll take him back to camp.
- 5:24Speaker 2: All right, we'll help you time across his horse. We
- 5:27Speaker 2: can use his rope, Chester.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Come on.
- 5:44Speaker 1: There's more coffee here, Matt.
- 5:46Speaker 2: No, no thanks, Kitty.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Can't say I blame you.
- 5:50Speaker 6: You'd think a restaurant like Delmonico's could at least make
- 5:52Speaker 6: good coffee.
- 5:54Speaker 2: I never saw a woman yet who didn't find fault
- 5:56Speaker 2: with everybody's cooking but her own.
- 5:59Speaker 7: Women have more taste than men.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Yeah, sure. More arguments, too.
- 6:04Speaker 6: Matt.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Yeah. That man you had to shoot today, his brother,
- 6:10Speaker 2: is that what's on your mind? Yeah, I suppose.
- 6:15Speaker 6: I've been thinking.
- 6:17Speaker 2: You've never seen him. If he does ride into town,
- 6:20Speaker 2: you won't be able to recognize him, will you? Well,
- 6:22Speaker 2: let's say he'll probably be the first man who tries
- 6:24Speaker 2: to shoot me in the back.
- 6:25Speaker 5: Oh, Matt.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. It's been tried before. I'm still around.
- 6:32Speaker 5: Come on. Let's get out of here.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Okay.
- 6:34Speaker 4: Sure.
- 6:43Speaker 7: Front Street's not very crowded tonight.
- 6:46Speaker 2: It's early. Now, wait a minute. What is it? That
- 6:53Speaker 2: man laying up against the post up there. Wait till
- 6:56Speaker 2: he turns his head. I want to get a look
- 6:58Speaker 2: at him.
- 6:59Speaker 5: Someone you're after, Matt?
- 7:01Speaker 2: Yeah, there. Yeah. No, it's someone who's after me.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Buelow's brother.
- 7:10Speaker 5: Are you sure?
- 7:10Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. Sure enough to ask him anyway.
- 7:13Speaker 5: You stay here.
- 7:14Speaker 7: All right.
- 7:22Speaker 2: You looking for me, Bulow? Your name is Bulow, isn't it?
- 7:28Speaker 7: I'll bet you're him. I'll bet you're the marshal.
- 7:31Speaker 2: I am. I'll take your gun now. Well, take it.
- 7:36Speaker 2: All right.
- 7:40Speaker 5: That won't stop me.
- 7:42Speaker 2: You'll get another gun and shoot me in the back,
- 7:44Speaker 2: is that it?
- 7:45Speaker 7: Any way I can, Marshal.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Look, Bulow, your brother tried to kill me, and he'd
- 7:48Speaker 2: have done it if I hadn't stopped him.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Ain't nobody kills a Bulow and gets by with it.
- 7:52Speaker 4: I don't care what he done.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Well, maybe you need a few days to think it over.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Maybe that'll help.
- 7:57Speaker 4: I ain't got a few days.
- 7:58Speaker 2: You have now. Turn around and walk straight ahead of me, Bulow.
- 8:02Speaker 2: You're going to jail for a while.
- 8:03Speaker 7: No, I ain't done nothing. Turn around.
- 8:06Speaker 2: And get moving.
- 8:08Speaker 3: You the marshal?
- 8:30Speaker 2: What can I do for you?
- 8:31Speaker 1: My name's Will Jacklin. I'm boss of the drag car
- 8:35Speaker 1: herd we're holding up river.
- 8:37Speaker 7: I come for Howard Bulow.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Oh. I see. Well, turn him loose.
- 8:44Speaker 1: No.
- 8:45Speaker 2: No, I can't turn him loose.
- 8:47Speaker 7: He didn't do a thing last night. He was just
- 8:49Speaker 7: standing on the street the way I heard it.
- 8:51Speaker 2: He threatened to shoot me in the back and he
- 8:52Speaker 2: says he's still gonna do it. You killed his brother,
- 8:55Speaker 2: didn't you? In self-defense.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Don't matter.
- 8:58Speaker 5: You'll have to look out for yourself.
- 9:00Speaker 7: But none of my men's gonna lay in a Kansas
- 9:03Speaker 7: jail when he ain't done nothing.
- 9:04Speaker 2: None of your men's gonna walk free waiting to put
- 9:06Speaker 2: a bullet in my back, either.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I got eight men outside, Marshal. I got ten more
- 9:12Speaker 1: with the cattle. We come a long way, we had
- 9:16Speaker 1: a hard drive. We're all Texans, and no Dodge City
- 9:20Speaker 1: Marshal's gonna rub our nose in dirt.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Nobody's trying to, Jacqueline.
- 9:26Speaker 7: Fine thing they hire men like you to kill cowboys on.
- 9:29Speaker 2: A little spree. You call shooting me a little spree?
- 9:31Speaker 7: You could have crippled him up.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I wish that were true, but I couldn't take the chance.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Another shot and he'd have killed me.
- 9:36Speaker 7: Talking's a waste of time.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I want Bulow out of here. I'll do this. I'll
- 9:42Speaker 2: turn him over to you when you've sold your herd
- 9:44Speaker 2: and are headed back to Texas, if you promise to
- 9:46Speaker 2: keep him with you.
- 9:47Speaker 5: I want him now.
- 9:47Speaker 2: Ah, not as long as he's set on killing me.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Eighteen men I got, Marshal. Not counting myself. Fourteen of
- 9:57Speaker 1: us will be back tonight.
- 9:59Speaker 3: And we'll get him.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Jacqueline, don't try it.
- 10:03Speaker 7: And after we get him, we'll really shoot your town up.
- 10:10Speaker 7: You people have mistreated the last Texas cowboy you're going to.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Tonight, Marshal.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Sure you won't have a beer, Mac?
- 10:27Speaker 1: I'll even buy you one.
- 10:43Speaker 5: Do you good?
- 10:44Speaker 2: I can't be drinking now, Doc.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Oh, Matt, I don't think they'll ride in like that tonight.
- 10:49Speaker 6: Those cowboys always talk big.
- 10:51Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe. Maybe they're just full of vinegar after the
- 10:55Speaker 7: long drive they've had, huh?
- 10:57Speaker 2: Now they want to hoop and holler something. Bulo's full
- 10:59Speaker 2: of more than vinegar, Doc.
- 11:01Speaker 7: You think so?
- 11:02Speaker 5: A tooth for a tooth, huh? An eye for an eye. Oh, my,
- 11:08Speaker 5: the world's got its evil ways.
- 11:10Speaker 1: All right.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Marshal Dillon.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Marshal... Hello, Doc.
- 11:13Speaker 5: Oh, hello, Reisling.
- 11:15Speaker 2: What are you going to do about those Texans, Marshal? Well,
- 11:18Speaker 2: I don't know, Mr. Reisling. I haven't given it much thought. Well,
- 11:21Speaker 2: you better start thinking, Marshal. I heard that, Jacqueline, right
- 11:24Speaker 2: in here this morning. He means what he says, that man.
- 11:29Speaker 2: They're going to destroy Dodge. That's what he said. Him
- 11:32Speaker 2: and all those wild Texans he's got. Mr. Reisling, the
- 11:34Speaker 2: man I got in jail aims to shoot me from
- 11:36Speaker 2: ambush if I turn him loose. But I can't help that. Well,
- 11:39Speaker 2: I can. And he's staying where he is until he
- 11:41Speaker 2: comes to his senses.
- 11:42Speaker 6: But what about the rest of us?
- 11:44Speaker 7: It's all right for you to save your own.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Skin, but what about us?
- 11:47Speaker 6: They'll shoot up the town and maybe burn my hotel down.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Don't get all excited, Mr.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Reisling.
- 11:52Speaker 2: It won't help matters any. Look, why don't you just
- 11:55Speaker 2: forget about it? Jacqueline may never show up at all.
- 11:57Speaker 2: That's what I've come to tell you. What? Frank Parrish
- 12:00Speaker 2: rode by the Dragar camp a little while ago, and
- 12:02Speaker 2: he says those men were just about to leave for Dodge.
- 12:05Speaker 2: That means they'll be here any minute. Now, what are
- 12:08Speaker 2: you going to do?
- 12:09Speaker 5: The End.
- 12:28Speaker 2: I left the Alapraganza and walked over to the jail
- 12:30Speaker 2: to wait for Jacqueline and his mob of cowboys. There
- 12:35Speaker 2: I tried to have a talk with Bulow. But the
- 12:37Speaker 2: only response I could get out of him was the same.
- 12:40Speaker 2: He was going to kill me the first chance he got. Well,
- 12:44Speaker 2: maybe Doc was right. Maybe the hard life of the
- 12:46Speaker 2: cattle trail did drive man a little mad.
- 12:49Speaker 4: Anyway, it was a.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Poor choice they'd given me. And I didn't like it.
- 12:56Speaker 5: You'll be wanting a shotgun, won't you, Mr.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Dillon? Yeah.
- 12:59Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, Chester.
- 13:00Speaker 7: Here you are.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Ah. Uh, Chester. Hmm? You, uh, don't have to get
- 13:10Speaker 2: mixed up in this, you know.
- 13:12Speaker 5: I know that. My. I think I'm going to take
- 13:18Speaker 5: a shotgun, too.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Okay. All right, let's wait outside.
- 13:23Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
- 13:33Speaker 2: About ten feet apart, huh?
- 13:35Speaker 5: Aren't you?
- 13:40Speaker 7: There they come, Mr.
- 13:41Speaker 5: Dillon.
- 13:42Speaker 2: All of them. Yeah. Yeah, it is, man. Whoa.
- 14:02Speaker 7: Hello, Marshal.
- 14:04Speaker 2: You're acting like a fool, Jacqueline.
- 14:06Speaker 7: We'll see about that.
- 14:08Speaker 2: You make trouble here in the lobby after you wherever
- 14:10Speaker 2: you go.
- 14:11Speaker 7: I don't worry none about no law. I was raised
- 14:15Speaker 7: plum free. We all were.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Yeah, sure you were. But that doesn't leave you free
- 14:22Speaker 2: to form a mob. Raid a jail, shoot up a town.
- 14:26Speaker 2: What's the matter with you men?
- 14:27Speaker 7: What's the matter with you? You put an innocent man
- 14:29Speaker 7: in jail.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Any man who wants to kill somebody isn't very innocent, Jacqueline.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Do you have to wait till he does it?
- 14:36Speaker 7: I don't have to wait for nothing. Marshal, we've come
- 14:40Speaker 7: for Bulow. Let them have.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Him, Marshal.
- 14:44Speaker 5: Turn him loose.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Hurry.
- 14:45Speaker 2: You keep out of this, Reisling.
- 14:46Speaker 7: He's right, Marshal. You let him go peaceable and we'll
- 14:51Speaker 7: leave town. If you make us fight, we'll go right
- 14:54Speaker 7: on fighting.
- 14:55Speaker 2: You heard him. He means it.
- 14:57Speaker 4: You do it.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Shut up, Reisling. Jacqueline, this is a shotgun I'm holding.
- 15:04Speaker 2: The first move you or any of your men make,
- 15:07Speaker 2: I'll cut you in two with it.
- 15:09Speaker 7: Maybe. But we're too many. You can't kill us all.
- 15:14Speaker 7: You'll die and so will your friend there. That right, men?
- 15:18Speaker 3: That's right.
- 15:21Speaker 7: Texas men ain't afraid to die, Marshal. But they ain't
- 15:25Speaker 7: gonna get trumped on. I'm through talking, Marshal. Get set, men.
- 15:32Speaker 7: And when you finish him, go rip this town wide open.
- 15:38Speaker 7: Do it for me.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Chester.
- 15:39Speaker 7: Yes, sir? Go get Beulah.
- 15:41Speaker 2: All right.
- 15:42Speaker 4: You used your head, Marshal.
- 15:51Speaker 7: You and I'd both been dead if you hadn't.
- 15:54Speaker 2: I'm not doing it because of you or me, Jacqueline.
- 15:57Speaker 2: I'm doing it because too many other men would have died.
- 16:00Speaker 7: Well, it don't matter as long as you turn him loose.
- 16:06Speaker 2: All right, bring him over.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Here, Chester.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Well, I knew you couldn't keep me long, Marshal.
- 16:18Speaker 2: And you were right, Bulow.
- 16:20Speaker 4: You shouldn't have locked me up at all.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Go on back to camp. And try to do some
- 16:26Speaker 2: thinking while you're there.
- 16:28Speaker 4: Sure, Marshal.
- 16:30Speaker 5: And you know what I'll be thinking about?
- 16:33Speaker 1: You.
- 16:34Speaker 7: Sitting next to an open window. Or walking down a
- 16:37Speaker 7: dark street. I'm going to kill you, yes.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Wherever he was from, whatever kind of life he'd led...
- 16:51Speaker 2: Buelow was a primitive man. Somewhere he'd heard about revenge.
- 16:56Speaker 2: It's a simple idea, an eye for an eye. And
- 17:01Speaker 2: he took it to heart. I realize now that there
- 17:04Speaker 2: was no dealing with him. The man was incapable of change.
- 17:10Speaker 2: And Jacqueline wasn't much better. But I forgot about Jacqueline.
- 17:14Speaker 2: It was Buelow who'd be back... Still, two days went
- 17:18Speaker 2: by and there was no sign of him.
- 17:24Speaker 5: There's a couple of chairs, Mr.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Dillon.
- 17:26Speaker 5: Let's sit there.
- 17:27Speaker 4: All right, Chester.
- 17:32Speaker 5: Well, nobody can't shoot you from here. Not unless it
- 17:35Speaker 5: comes up in front.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Well, that's unlikely with Bulow.
- 17:38Speaker 5: What's the matter with men like him?
- 17:41Speaker 2: I don't know, Chester. Too rough a life, maybe.
- 17:44Speaker 3: The war.
- 17:47Speaker 2: A lot of things.
- 17:48Speaker 5: Well, he's plum crazy if you ask me. Say, ain't
- 17:52Speaker 5: that Miss Kitty coming up the street?
- 17:53Speaker 1: Hmm?
- 17:54Speaker 5: What's she walking so fast for?
- 17:56Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 17:57Speaker 7: Oh, there you are, Matt. Hello, Chester.
- 17:59Speaker 5: Evening, Miss Kitty.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Sit down, Kitty. You don't wear yourself out being in
- 18:02Speaker 2: such a hurry.
- 18:03Speaker 7: Matt, I've been looking for you everywhere.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Oh, trouble?
- 18:06Speaker 7: For you, yeah.
- 18:07Speaker 6: Bulo's back in town.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Well, have you seen him?
- 18:10Speaker 6: No, Sam did.
- 18:11Speaker 5: Said he stopped in for a drink a little while ago.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Is he still there?
- 18:13Speaker 6: He left, but he told Sam he's got a room
- 18:15Speaker 6: at the Dodge house.
- 18:16Speaker 5: He might be there.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to find him before he finds me.
- 18:22Speaker 2: At least we could see each other that way.
- 18:24Speaker 7: Be careful, Matt.
- 18:26Speaker 2: You better come along, Chester. Four eyes are better than two.
- 18:28Speaker 4: Yes.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Thanks, Kitty.
- 18:30Speaker 5: I'll see you later.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
- 18:36Speaker 5: What do you do if we find him, Mr. Dillon?
- 18:38Speaker 2: Well, it's no good talking to him anymore. Maybe I
- 18:40Speaker 2: can scare him out of it somehow.
- 18:42Speaker 5: I sure hope so. The hotel looks pretty empty from here.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Good evening, Marshal.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Chester.

- 19:03Speaker 2: Isley. I'm looking for Bulow.
- 19:05Speaker 4: Is he here?
- 19:06Speaker 2: I don't, Martin.
- 19:07Speaker 5: He's shooting.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I want to know if he's here, Reisling. He went
- 19:12Speaker 2: upstairs a few minutes ago, Marshal. Which room?
- 19:15Speaker 5: Well, now, Marshal.
- 19:16Speaker 2: On the landing, Mr.
- 19:16Speaker 5: Dillon.
- 19:19Speaker 2: I missed him. Come on. He's in one of those rooms.
- 19:30Speaker 5: Here we've got him now.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know which one. You stay here, Chester.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I'm going down the hall. You might come out of
- 19:42Speaker 2: any one of those doors.
- 19:43Speaker 5: All right.
- 20:08Speaker 4: Is it okay?
- 20:13Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay, Chester.
- 20:17Speaker 5: He didn't hit you, did he?
- 20:19Speaker 2: No, he tried, but it was too late. He was
- 20:21Speaker 2: already dying.
- 20:22Speaker 5: Well, I'm sure glad.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 20:28Speaker 2: But he died about as uselessly as a man could, Chester.
- 20:33Speaker 2: For no reason at all. None at all.
