Speaker 1 (00:10):
Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there
is just one way to handle.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
The killers and the spoilers.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And that's where the US Marshall, and the smell of
guns smoke, gun moves starrying William Convan the story of
(00:43):
the violence that moved west with young America, and the
story of a man.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United
States Marshall, the first man they look for and the
last they want to meet. It's a chance, a job,
and that makes a man watchful and a little lone. Lady.
(01:16):
Most people think of Dutch City here in the eighteen
seventies is a wild, lawless town and swamped with exciting
women and strong, daring men. And then they picture as fighters,
the kind who stand up for almost no reason at
all and gun each other down with as little regard
for their own lives as they have for their opponents,
(01:39):
Men whose courage is as raw and harsh as the
prairies it's bred on. Now this is the picture that
it isn't quite complete. But He's got our share of
cowards too, like the one whose work I ran into
the night, I found a note on my door, said
come up to dock at himself. It's as fast as
(01:59):
they could.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Mt back room.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's doing such a trouble truster. And we've got Jack
Messy in there. Jack Massy.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You know that cowboys who look you up. Whenever he
comes to town. You remember him.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
He always comes into the office and sat around and
talk all you're.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
The right out of Tell you say, what's he doing
up here?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Was wrong? There's document? Ask him?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I love that doctor? Well he's dead, uh that? Or
as soon as I saw him, I knew he couldn't
make it, not for the hole like that? And so
what happens that somebody shot him at Oh, we don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I I was coming down street, miss Jim, and I
heard a shot, and I run in and found him
laying there on the floor right where he fell out
of the.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Chair a lot of what chair you're mine?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yes, sir, down in the office.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
He was waiting for you, I guess.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
And somebody must have sneaked in the back way and
shot him.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Why he was shot in the back so well, he
was sitting in your chair. And we noticed he was
wearing a hat just like the one you wear. And
also he's about the same size as you somebody's out
to kill you, man to kill you the easy way? Yeah? Thanks,
(03:57):
Well what brings you into the long branch this time?
And not just looking around there? There a lot of
men at the bar over there. I think you can
pick him out. Why the man who thought he shot
you the night? Oh? The news travels fast, and I
heard somebody was asking him was two days ago?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
He did?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think it is to talk. Didn't anybody tell you
about it that? I haven't been around much the last
couple of days, kiddy, But even so, it isn't the
kind of talk people feel easy about passing on, and
for me that is anyway, you know, he said, so
he did see coming this way? I said, easy? What's
(04:45):
he doing in the Dutch? Gott to drop around more often?
That he's been banking? Sell here see a fourth days now?
But it's Sam and Harry. Yeah, he's been doing fine too,
heb He always was a smart gamble. Marshall, You mind
if I sit down? Go ahead? Thanks. I've been meaning
(05:12):
to come to see you, Marshall. Oh that's so. Yeah.
I heard about the shooting that night. Seem as most
everybody has I know something about it. Marshall, would you
like to hear it? Tell me? Well, A couple of
nights ago, I went out back to breathe a little
fresh air. I was standing out there in the dark
(05:34):
around the corner in the alley, and I heard a
couple of men come out. They couldn't see me. I
couldn't see them, but I heard one of them tell
the other he was going to shoot Marshall Doom shoot
him any way he could. That's all you heard all.
They said something else, but I couldn't understand it. Then
(05:55):
they went back in. You you got no idea it was.
I didn't dare take a look. Marshall letter killed me.
Sure you're a little late telling me this. I don't
exactly owe you any favors more. Why did you bother
(06:15):
to tell me at all? I don't like killing. That's
why I hate killing. Well, I tells you everything I know.
Marshall going now than Kitty? Is that all about that?
It's between you and I knew him out in Santa
(06:39):
Fe one time, Kitty, he was bullying a man. I
showed him up to be a coward. A lot of
people witnessed it, and even never forgave me. Maybe so
I was alive. Maybe he's the one who did the
shouldn't I don't think Eddybe has the guts to shoot
a man, even in the back. Who is this then?
(07:04):
Haven't you any ideas? No, there's a lot of men
if I could see me, said, I know, I'm always
willing to take my chances with anybody who'll face me.
It's the man who shoots out of the duck I'm
afraid of. Nobody wants to die, and it's even worse
(07:35):
without a chance to fight back. That's what always made
me feel, especially with that about a man who broke
his neck falling out of his saddle, or who maybe
disappeared in front of a stampede of buffalo who liked
Jack Massey's sitting at my desk, had to take a
bullet in the back. It's not dying feel slaughtered like
(08:02):
a hog in a pen. That robs a man of
everything he's lived for.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Well, see, I tell you, if I was in your boots, Michigan,
I'd hie me out onto the tray first time here?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Would you bet I would?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Out there? You can see a man coming a mile off.
You know he wouldn't like that truster, They said, she
wouldn't never follow you out in the open, knock him
or them? You think there might be more than once.
It might be, but none of us don't. Why don't
you hire some man to hang around as sort.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Of a bodyguard boy, Then nobody wouldn't there.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
If I am this.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Better, they try the better Chester and get it over
with one way or the other. And I wishize it's
cool about it as you, my cool tester, and I'm.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Mad, and you sure got a funny way going it now.
If I had mad, I'd be popping around like a
bone of the bar and his tail. I'd be a
Swanson in a slave in a fool in my mouth
and blood.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
He's up there in Natalie.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I'm going after him, and I'm going with you. Now,
you just stay here. Start shooting, mister, Start shooting while
you got a chance. I sure will I shoot it
shut you could, I'm gonna do shoot all right. I
(09:38):
dropped a gun shot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
He walked right up to him.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
If doner he had a gun in his hand, his
drug Chester, you know, came out.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I hit him hard enough. Come on, le's get him
up the ducks. It'll sober him up and find out
what this is all about. Here's your coffee. Don't put
(10:13):
that cup down here thought not before you drink it.
We'll drop a coffee in it. And I'm drowning in coffee. Doc,
I'm drinking h No, boy, doctor, I'm sober now not
(10:37):
you can talk straight enough now, it's about time, all right, mister?
What's your name?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Nat?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Matt Swann. But that didn't mean nothing, Marshall. I didn't
know what I was doing. I mistaken, But I'll tell
you you were trying to kill me. What you no,
don't don't get me, don't. They're a real cower, aren't
(11:09):
just one? Even I showed me in the back hat
to take on a lot of whiskey. I ain't got
nothing against you, mushaling. I come to town, heard all
that talk so I could make the name for myself
if i'd done the shoot. Ain't no more truth than.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
That, No more truth than that.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Never mind, duck. You know something I believe is one
you do? Look it's true, honestly, Yeah, sure it's true.
There are a lot of other drunken, brainless bombs gonna
try for the same reason. They've heard somebody's out to
murder me, and they got to thinking, why shouldn't they
do it and get that credit for themselves. No, man,
(11:48):
it's not that bad. I already started duck. There'll be others,
lots of them, as long as I last Chester and
(12:09):
I rode Matt Swan down to the Arkansas and told
him to get his horse across and keep going. I
guess he thought I was about to shoot him, the
way he rode off, all hunk it up in the saddles,
trying to look small. I was pretty sure he'd never
show up in Dodge again. There was one less glory
hunter to deal with. That's the thought of how many
(12:34):
were left waiting in the alleys, hiding in the shutters, jumping.
I didn't realize how bad off I was until we
got back to town. Rode into the stable, we put
our horses under their stalls, and we were walking toward
the door Dune. I was laid chess. Everybody's either drunk
(13:01):
or in bed.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
But there's somebody who.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But you doing that rifle stuck into that storm. Sister,
he's honist, all right, dropped the rifle, mister, not likely Rob,
And I said, no, he's gonna shoot.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
You.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Gonna stay back, sister, don't shoot.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Don't shoot again, mister.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Chester. I got his rifle.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I got the last two.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Mister put a bullet my lung. So I am.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I've never seen him before?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Or do you care who I am? You don kill me?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Why were you after me? Somebody hire you? I come
on telling you. You shoot a man down and you
try to blame it on him?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You do you? He weren't after you?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Wasn't after nobody. Just come from my horse.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I think he's telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You don't, marsh I would just think I was. I
heard somebody was out to shoot you or me. I
was just trying to get home to Texas.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I ain't gonna make it down. But I.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Heard you whoever that rifle? Mister you you were about
to shoot? It's thought I was being held up. Oh
you hollered at me, just doing He ain't got nothing
to do with the of course I ain't, was I you, Marshall?
If there was talk about somebody after me, I found
(15:10):
out who was making talk, I wouldn't go out. My
brother's shooting innocent food. Somebody got you out, smart or
they'll get you at the docks.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Mystery.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Don't they carry you. No, no, dude, don't bear I
mean no bank at Marshall, fix me a box, would
you promise? Fix me a box? Yeah, I got them.
I can't smaller, no more, go down, that's true, trust card,
(16:01):
I just killed an innocent man. Well, he just shot you,
as you head. If we don't even know his name,
we'll find him a box. We'll fix him up, a
real good one. Yes, and I'm gonna do something else,
he said, what's that? I've been not smart that he
(16:24):
was right, But I know what I'm doing now, even
(16:47):
kidding know that he was over. Soon will be made
a surprise that there was. If I kidding, cowards don't
carry go and yeah. Long, Well, Marshall Dillon, you're gonna
(17:11):
try your luck. My luck ran out about an hour ago.
What I shot and killed an innocent man? What are
you talking about? Marshall? You were too cheap to hire
somebody to get me eb and too much of a
coward to try it yourself. I don't like that word
your story about over here in that talk, I'm back.
You spread it around hoping it would give some brainless
(17:32):
fool the idea to try himself. That's a lot of
two men tried it and made me said jumping. I
just killed him and as I was trying it again.
And I feel pretty bad about Eddie b. I've got
nothing to do with it. You told me the story
thinking of to make you look innocent. Well you are
smart at me. Ebe for a little while, but you
can't pulllenty. I don't have to and not come on
(17:53):
you kind of let me now, but I'm going to
lock you up and tomorrow I'm gonna run you right
out of town. Wants some men of bad because of
your cowardice. Maybe I wish I can hang you for it.
Call me a coward or the worst coward I ever.
You're doing just what you did, Santa face you. I'm
not a coward. I won't call me that anymore. I
(18:16):
can hand out of your pocket. I got a gun
in here. I will kill you myself. You want you,
I gotta draw that. Oh yes, I am not. You
Just keep talking, he just keep talking. I'll kill you
shooting mate. I think he wanted me to kill you,
(18:43):
and I think you'd rather be dead than face everybody
knowing what a coward he is. And he's got his
punishment coming. And the rest of his life.
