Gunsmoke starring James Arness as Matt Dillon

Thank you.

Mr. McConnell, what's all that commotion about, Mr. McConnell?

Like a robbery of some sort.

Bank, I'd say.

The bank?

Terrible.

I think I'll check out, Mr. Sims.

Violence has never been part of my nature. If you'll just... The bank

robbed.

Oh, just leave your key on the desk. Now, you were here two days. That's four

dollars. In broad daylight.

What are you reading about, Doc?

Doc? Huh?

What are you reading about? I'm reading about that raid in Sedalia.

Where's Sedalia at?

Well, the last time I looked, it was in Missouri. Now, hush up.

Oh, Bill, Doc, what are you reading about Missouri for? Ain't there nothing

worth reading about here in Kansas?

What happened in Sedalia?

Doc? Doc, what?

What happened in Sedan? Well, I told you there was a raid, and I'm trying to

find... The 15 or 20 fellas rode in there and robbed the bank, and they got,

I don't know, $20,000, I guess.

Where was the marshal at while all this was going on?

Huh?

They didn't have no marshal.

Anybody hurt, was there?

Huh? Huh, what?

Anybody hurt? I haven't got that far yet. Well, when did they do it? Three

days ago!

Well, did they catch any of the fallers that did?

Why don't you read it yourself?

That ain't fair.

Now, you know I can't read.

By thunder, you can certainly talk.

Worse than anybody I ever saw. You talk the hind legs right off a jackass.

All right.

Just let me tell you this, Doc.

About this raid in Sedalia, if there was a raid, it ain't never gonna happen in

this town.

Because there ain't no gang, no place in this whole country that's got nerve

enough to hit Dodge.

Anybody here ever been in Dodge?

I have. At least I've been through there once or twice.

Won't be as easy as other towns we've hit. Oh, how come?

Well, for one thing, it's bigger.

Be harder to get out of.

Which means we'll be less conspicuous moving in.

There's another problem, too, with a U.S. Marshal named Matt Dillon.

Where it is, he's far from being a pushover.

We'll worry about this Dillon later. The problem right now is to start moving

into Kansas.

Well, Jim, let's get one thing straight.

None of us are moving until McClain can move, too. Yeah, this hurt bad.

I don't quite understand you, Webb.

If he was your brother, well, maybe.

But he ain't even your kin.

Well, the four of us grew up together, and we ain't leaving without him.

We'll talk about that.

As soon as Les gets back with the layout of Dodge City.

It's all right. It's only Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Barnes.

I don't understand you fellas, how you can live this way, jumping at every

sound.

Well, it's not very pleasant, Mr. Early, but you see, we...

We just don't have no choice.

What is it?

Uh, Jimmy, John Anita was in this bar just having a few drinks.

A few drinks, mind you. Well, it can't be the law or you wouldn't be standing

there and stammering like some idiot. Now, come on, boy, spit it out. It's

nothing like that, Jim.

It's Clell. What's he done?

Nothing yet, but he's drunker than a skunk and he won't listen to nobody.

You know how he gets.

Yeah, I know.

I'll ride in with you, Jim.

Okay, Webb.

Johnny, you boys got something to learn. Come on.

Yahoo!

How's that baby for shooting, huh?

Get him out of here.

Well, here you are, Mr. Stark.

Mr. Fraley.

Best in the house.

Well, I think I'll be quiet now.

Oh, nobody's making any complaints. No, sir.

No, we want your boys to have a good time in Mullendale.

I'm sure Mr. Williams meant no harm.

Clothes are drunk. Ain't got good sense.

What's the damage?

Well, uh, $50 maybe.

Oh, no, that's too much, Mr. Stark. You buy the kids some Sunday clothes.

Thank you, sir.

All right, drinks for everybody.

You keep pouring until they can't lift no more.

Yes, sir.

You heard what Mr. Stark said, men.

Drinks for everybody.

Jimmy.

That Clell Williams, he can't hold his liquor no better than Comanche Buck.

Hang on, don't. He won't bother you no more, Sheriff. I'll make sure all the

rest of the boys, they stay out of trouble, too. Oh, sure, Jimmy. I know

that. Your boys are welcome here in Mullenville any time at all.

I'm sure glad that you came in to get Clell, though.

You know, I hate to have to say anything to your boys at all.

There's certain types of people here in town.

Sure, we understand, Sheriff.

Fine, fine.

You and Mr. Fraley, stay as long as you like. Proud to have you.

Any news about the doc, Sheriff?

No, sir, not yet. But I'm sure he'll be coming through any day, though.

I know that. I understand there's been a little fever up north a ways.

Well, as soon as he shows up, you'll be sure to send him out to the early plays,

will you? Yes, indeed I will, sir. I certainly will.

Oh, Mr.

McLean, any better, is he?

Afraid not, Sheriff.

Oh, well, now, I'm sorry to hear that.

We was all hoping that he'd be up and around again soon. Yeah, fine. Well,

that's just fine, Sheriff.

It's real bad, Jim. It's getting worse.

Well, just look at it.

It's swollen twice its size.

He's going to need some help.

Sheriff told T.R. and me a doctor would be here any time. We got no time to

wait.

We talked it over, Jim.

We ain't going to wait any longer. We're going to take him into Dodge right now.

I told you, nobody except McConnell goes into Dodge until we're ready to move.

We know what you said.

But if he don't get help, he's going to die.

Dodge has got the only sawbones who can save him.

There's other towns we can hit, Jim.

I want your advice, I'll ask for it, Pence.

We can make as much in one raid on Dodge as we can a dozen Sadeas.

We made up our minds.

Now, if you're figuring on trying to stop us, you better start right now.

It's a bonehead play, Webb.

McLean's won in half a dozen states.

If a lawman gets a good look at him before we hit Dodge, we'd all be in

trouble.

Anybody mind if I say something?

Number one, we're all headed for Dodge anyway, right?

So it doesn't hurt if we take him with us.

Number two, Kansas is one of the few states where McLean is not wanted. That

right, McLean?

That's right.

So Pence here, who isn't going to be recognized by anybody, can take him in

the Dodge at night, leave him on the doctor's doorstep, might make us all

happy. But if the doc recognizes him?

That's a chance we'll have to take.

Doesn't seem likely, though, unless the doctor's in the habit of sitting around

reading out-of-state wanted posters.

In any case, it seemed like a better solution than staging a pitched gun

battle in this room.

Then let's get moving.

Shiloh, go get the horses.

Just one more thing.

When you get into town, McConnell will be there. And if you see him, you don't

recognize him, understand?

I'll understand.

Another thing.

Once you get inside that doc's office, you don't go nowhere.

No place else.

Until you're well enough to come back here.

Understand that?

I'll understand that.

Now let's go.

Oh, this thing hurts.

You think I could walk on it now?

It's going to hurt you a little, but it's your leg. You can try.

That'll be $20.

Only $20.

$10 for the operation.

$2 a day for five days room and board.

Well, that seems like a reasonable price to pay for a leg.

Thank you.

You know, young fella, someday I might be interested if you got the time to

tell me how you managed to shoot yourself in the back of the leg like

that with a rifle.

Well, to tell you the truth, Doc, I didn't really shoot myself.

Was that so?

No, you see, there was this pretty little gal, and she and I was getting on

just grand.

But, uh...

A brother didn't think my intentions were honorable.

And he always was very hot-headed.

Why don't you go to a doctor?

Oh, not in that part of the country, no, sir.

Why not?

There wasn't any.

Hey, Doc.

You wouldn't have a little drink around here, would you?

No, I... I haven't.

There's an awful good saloon, though, the Long Branch, right down the street.

Thanks for everything, Doc.

You're welcome.

Oh, your horse is down at the delivery stable.

Much obliged.

Ain't that a little nugget?

Well, we're not going to talk price now. Just take a good look at them, boys and

girls.

Excuse me, I beg your pardon, sir.

Miss Russell.

I'd like to buy you a little drink.

Best in the house.

All right.

Sam, bring out a bottle of that Tennessee walking whiskey.

Yes, ma'am, Miss Kitty.

I'm going to warn you in advance.

This stuff comes mighty dear. Not much of it finds its way to Dodge.

Hey, listen, here's a real doozy, Mr. McConnell. How much are you asking for?

I want two of these bone-handled double actions if you don't expect an arm and

leg for them. Well, just lick them over, boys, lick them over. I'll put a price

on those when I find out how much Dodge shit he's got to spare.

Here's to a profitable stay, charming old Dodge.

I never thought of Dodge as being charming.

Could be, Miss Roosevelt, could be.

Certain people were a little less distant.

Well, here's to a profitable visit selling your merchandise.

I'm an excellent salesman, as a rule. It seems like Dodge City where I find the

most sales persistence.

Well, then I would think that you would concentrate in other areas.

Except that I find the territory fascinating.

Hey, barkeep, give us a whiskey.

Something wrong?

No, it's just the man down there who reminds me of a fellow who bought some

guns in Wichita and skipped out without paying. Excuse me just a moment, Woody.

I'd like to check on that.

All right.

You stupid... Better have a drink.

I told you to stay out of sight. One drink. Now, you don't know what that doc

did to me.

I know it's just that you look like a man who bought some guns for me in

Wichita, that's all.

I've never been in Wichita.

Drink that drink and get out of here.

Who do you think you're talking to? I'm talking to you. That's who I'm talking

to. You could blow this whole thing.

Hey, barkeep.

Give us another.

How's everything in the big city?

Fine, fine. You know how I always enjoy that ride to Hayes.

How are things around here?

Well, not too much excitement. Did have a fish fight over in the Long Branch.

Wasn't very much. And then Alan Poppett's kid ran away from home again.

And Odell Monaco's cat had another litter of kittens back there in the

alley. Beautiful place.

And Marvin Armbruster predicted the end of the world for the 35th time.

Sounds like it's been a busy week.

He didn't have any patients?

Well, no. Oh, yes.

Yeah, I had a fellow come into my office with a bullet in his leg. I took that

out. Said he got shot in a hunting accident, but I didn't believe that.

Huh?

Well, no, it was a rifle slug, and the wound was right in the back of his

thigh, and that'd be a little hard to do, wouldn't it?

Seems that way. What was his story?

Well, when I asked him about it, he finally got around to tell me that there

was a girl mixed up in it, so I figured he must have got hit while he was

running. Huh.

You still around town?

Yeah, I saw him going to Long Branch about ten minutes ago.

Maybe I'll go over and have a little talk with him. Kind of figured on having

a beer anyway.

Can I buy you one?

By thunder, I knew I'd been missing you for some reason.

Now I know what it was.

Everybody got a good look here?

Got a nice selection this time. Here's a nice one for you, little girl. Try that

for fits, will you?

British Bulldog, new thing out. Anybody seen that one?

Try it.

Doc? Hey.

Well, man, did you just get back?

Yeah, a few minutes ago.

How about something to cut the dust? Well, Kitty, that sure sounds good.

First, I want to see this fella Doc was talking about.

Was he here recently?

Yeah, some fella I just warned he'd come in here. You know, a young fella with a

game leg, and I thought he came in here.

Yeah, he was here and had a couple of drinks and left.

But he said he was coming back.

Why, is he in some kind of trouble?

No more!

You're right, Jim. That's enough.

Kill him.

Somebody had to.

You know how close he came?

Marshall walked into that saloon not two minutes after I put him on his horse.

All right, so he did a stupid thing, but there's no harm done.

Luck.

Sheer luck. If I hadn't happened to be in that saloon...

Might be a posse after us right now.

We've had posses after us before.

Yeah. When we had something to show for the risk.

Not because somebody disobeyed orders.

Now get him out of here.

Now what about Dodge?

All right, the bank's here, but...

Slim's here, livery stable over here.

I figured we can put three or four men in the livery stable without raising

suspicion. One man in the blacksmith shop, if necessary.

And in this alley, we'll have one man to cover our flank.

What about safe in the bank?

That's a good one.

We'll have to get him to open it.

You think the marshal's back in town for good?

It looks that way. It seems he went into Hayes City for a trial and it ended for

anyone expected it to.

Yeah, what are we fussing about? He's only one man?

He's a man you can't underestimate.

He's buried a lot of fellows who did.

All right.

All right, if we send a half a dozen men into town, we cut them down.

Then we hit the bank.

What's wrong with that?

Not much.

Except it's not very smart.

They've been successful so far because they've been smart.

Move fast.

We haven't taken any unnecessary chances. We haven't killed anybody we

didn't have to.

Meaning? If we cut down a U.S. Marshal in cold blood, we'll have every gun in

Kansas out against us.

Yeah, he may be right, Jim. You know, up to now, nobody but the laws give us much

trouble.

Supposedly make it look like a grudge killing.

How?

We send our fastest gun in against this Dillon and we'll cut him down.

Back him up with a rifle.

Just so we stay on top.

Who's that?

Well, Johnny's always bragging about how fast he is.

How about it, Johnny?

You want to tackle E. West Marshall?

Why not?

All right, what about the man with the rifle?

I was thinking about my brother Tommy here.

He's just a kid, Jim.

I'm old enough.

Sure.

And you gotta get your feet wet sometime, don't you, boy?

Sure.

Sure.

All right, then it's settled.

We set it up for tomorrow.

What if the boy loses his nerve? He won't.

He ain't no Stark, but he does have Paul's blood in him. Anyways, you'll be

there, too.

Me? That's right.

Anything goes wrong in there, I'm relying on you to set it straight. You

must understand something. I'm a front man, not a gunfighter.

If you want more firepower against Dylan, don't expect to come from my

direction.

I'll try to remember that, Les.

There you are, Mr. McConnell.

Birch, you give the finest shave west of St. Louis.

Well, thank you, sir.

You know, it ain't very often I get to shave anybody who knows the difference.

I expect not.

Cowboys in off the trail, dirt farmers once a month, eh?

That's a pure fact.

Sometimes I whack away for an hour before I ever get down to skin.

Well,

thank you, Mr. McConnell.

I must say it's a great pleasure to wait on a gentleman for a change.

Hey, I, uh... I see you got a real selection this trip, huh? I think I got

some good ones there.

Go ahead, help yourself. Take a look. All right.

Oh, my.

My, say, there's a couple of beauties, all right.

The English, 455s. If you're interested there, I'll give you a nice break on

those.

Oh, no.

I reckon I wouldn't have much use for a handgun. I couldn't hit the broad side

of a barn with one anyways, but they sure are beauts.

Remember now, you partial to a 20-gauge shotgun.

12-gauge. Oh.

12-gauge. Yeah.

At least with that, I can get myself a couple of rabbits for Sunday.

There's my old baby.

Yeah, that's a lot of gun right enough.

Sure, take the legs right out from under a man.

Yeah, like it's not.

But I reckon I'll stick to rabbits.

Let's talk about skill, Bert. Think you could pick off a rabbit for one of

those?

Well, I don't really know, Mr. McConnell.

It's a nice enough gun, all right, but... No.

I reckon I'll leave that kind of shooting to the young fellas. There you

go.

Well, sir,

everything satisfactory today, Mr. McConnell?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Pleasure to have you, sir. Pleasure.

Right,

Mr. McConnell.

Whiskey.

I'm calling you, Marshal.

Come on out.

I'm going to count to three, Marshal.

Mister, if you're thinking of drawing that gun, there's not much point in

counting. I just want everyone to see you getting a fair shake.

One. Mister, you're crazy. I don't even know you.

I know you, Marshal.

And that's all that matters.

Two.

Pretty good shooting, mister. Thanks.

Guns are my business, Marshal, but I never figured on having to use one on a

man.

This Aaron ain't caught a man, or I can use decent bangs or so.

Funny, I never saw him before in my life either.

If you don't need me any further, Marshal, I think I'll go to my hotel.

I feel a bit shaky.

Well, fine. If you wouldn't mind stopping by the office later and making

a statement, Mr... McConnell.

And I'll be glad to.

Sure knows what she's talking about, Matthew. That's the same fella, ain't

it? Sure is.

I knew I'd seen that face somewhere before.

Wanted for robbery, is he?

Yeah, and murder, too.

The only thing I can't figure out is, why was he after me?

Maybe he had the grudge against you. I don't know why. I'd never met the man.

What about that young fella?

There's nothing here on him at all.

Or do we doll, don't it?

Let me see that poster again.

Missouri.

I'll tell you what, Festus.

Go down to the telegraph office and send a wire to St. Joe.

See if there's any further information on this man since this poster was

issued. When was that?

Well, that was a year ago last September.

And don't forget the name, John Barnes.

John Barnes.

Oh, dear, Matthew.

Calling himself John Barnes. Now, we want you to get that off just quick as

you can.

We?

Oh, Matthew's waiting for an answer.

Well, you tell him he ain't likely to get it till tomorrow.

Of course, St. Joe will be closed down in an hour, and we ain't the only ones

using this telegraph wire, you know.

Barney, I ain't asking you for no spiel about what's wrong with your telegraph.

I've always said you could do better at thumping on tom-toms anyhow.

Just don't forget that that's important, and I mean it. All right, all right.

Good night, Sam.

Good night, Mr. McCall.

It's been a pure pleasure. Thank you.

Keeping kind of late hours, ain't you, Colin?

What are you doing here?

We come for you.

If you made a mistake, you might have been seen.

It was worth the risk.

I was, uh, coming out myself tomorrow.

Yeah?

We didn't feel like waiting.

Huh? Now, move!

So you shot him?

I had to shoot him. I had no choice.

He was screaming my name.

You dirty yellow... I'll figure it out for yourself.

Marshal was in the middle of a set-up.

Two men are trying to gun him down. One of them runs for help. To another guy

who's been around town for a week, he'd be an idiot not to know that something

was building up.

He was just a kid, 18 years old. Well, you sent him out to do a man's job, so

don't be crying in your beer when he couldn't handle it.

You always had a smart mouth, McConnell.

But you ain't never been one of us. Don't be a fool, Stark.

If you want to kill me, go ahead. But if you go into Dodge without me and without

taking care of Dylan first, I'm going to have a lot of company.

I say let's kill him.

Anybody got any objections?

All right, McConnell.

I figured to put the first slug in your belly so you'd take a long

time to die.

You might talk me to death before you get around to shooting me.

Put your gun away, Ted.

You heard me.

Put your gun away.

Put it away.

He killed Tommy.

He killed him because he didn't have any choice.

What are you talking about?

That kid was your brother.

The only brother I have is you.

And if he knew he was as dumb as that kid, I'd have killed you long ago.

Save it

We're

gonna hit dodge we wasted enough time already we don't need much time Go in

like we planned or get rid of Dylan take the bank be halfway to Oklahoma before

he knows it.

I Thought you said he was too smart to trick.

Oh, yeah, so we don't try to trick him We give him a real problem Kind of a

problem no good lawman can turn his back on. If it times out, we'll be in the

clear.

Couldn't be.

I'll need another man like always, just to make sure. Anybody in particular?

So long as it isn't your brother.

Don't you ever mention my brother's name again.

Pence might do.

Then we move.

Why not tomorrow?

Any trouble?

Not a bit.

Got most of the guns along the main road out of commission.

I still don't know why you got to go to all the trouble of using them pins,

though. All you got to do is snap off the pollsters. That'll put them out of

commission. Yeah, wouldn't that be foolish?

If I was to damage their guns, they'd be on to me soon enough.

This way, they just miss fire, and when they break it open and see what went

wrong, it drops out without being seen.

That's pretty smart.

I still think you're taking quite a risk, though.

Not as big as you might think.

Gives me something to do.

Also gives us an edge nobody else has got.

The first two or three minutes, just the people right around the bank knows

what's going on.

The guns won't fire. We're out of town before anybody can do anything about it.

Sometimes it don't work out just that way, though, does it?

What do you mean?

The plane's leg?

My system ain't foolproof. Just cuts down the odds a little.

It's getting pretty close to noon now. It won't be too much longer.

You gonna be needing me anymore?

No, not for a while. Unless you go in the lobby and hang around, I'll be over

later. I like to get things organized here.

All right.

Makes it one hour before we start in. That makes it two hours before we

rendezvous in front of that bank.

I don't want nobody in there ahead of schedule.

Nobody.

I want you to walk them horses, give them plenty of water and rest, just like

always. I want them horses ready to move when we come out of that bank.

Jeff?

It's two minutes before 11, boy.

I got her, Jim.

Fellow McClain ought to be moving in just about now.

Yeah.

Right on 11.

Best be getting on out of here.

Well, I don't like it.

Cutsang's mighty fine for us, I can tell you that.

McConnell got it all figured out. Long as we get out of there by ten minutes to

two.

All I know is we'll be heading out of that ranch just ten minutes before

Dylan's supposed to ride in.

And that's too close for comfort.

Well, we can't leave no earlier.

Something might go wrong.

We just might be able to have ourselves a little fun while we're working.

And still not take any chances.

Well, are you coming or ain't you?

Hey. Couldn't...

It's only one o'clock.

Well, maybe the time has been changed.

No, Jimmy, it wouldn't change the time, not like this.

What do we do?

Something's gone wrong and that boy wouldn't be in Dodge till 1.30.

Marshal! Marshal! I gotta talk to the marshal! All right.

Billy, what's happened? Somebody get Doc.

They killed Pa.

You gotta get him, Marshal. They killed Pa.

Who you talking about?

Two men. They come in this morning.

They're still out there with my two sisters.

I tried to stop them.

I couldn't do anything.

They beat me and threw me out of the house. I didn't have no gun. I had to

come. All right, now take it easy, Billy. Get them inside, will you?

I'll get the horses before you can get to ride.

what it was like, Doc.

They just shot Pop for no reason at all.

Now, you just hold still. Be quiet.

Where's the Marshal?

What happened to him?

Well, he got hurt. What do you want, the Marshal? I got an answer to that

telegram he sent to St. Joe. That fellow he was asking about, that John Barnes.

Well, what about him? He ain't only wanted for robbery and murder. He's a

member of that gang of outlaws that hit the bank at Sedalia.

Time to go.

Look, I don't think the marshals had plenty of time to get out there and

bang. I realize that.

It's too late to stop things now.

Well, now, you might prefer a lighter model.

See, this 45 years, that's a whole lot of gun for a gentleman to fool with.

I never carry it. It's just a precautionary measure for the bank, you

know. Of course, of course. But I really would question its effectiveness.

These cartridges ought to be changed once a month. You're going to get a

whole lot of misfires out of that batch.

I've got a new lightweight army issue.

All you customers, down on the floor. Now, get out. Come on, move.

Drop it.

And you, you open that safe. There's no money in the safe. It's all out here.

Shiloh?

Yeah? You kill him when I count three.

That's one.

Two. All right.

All right, don't shoot.

Nobody gets hurt if you do like we say.

any of them followers, Matthew?

It was the Stark gang, Festus.

I recognized Jim Stark and two of the Fraley's.

Marshal!

Marshal!

What is it, boy? Doc's gone. He's gone.

Gone? What are you talking about?

Two men.

They took him.

Doc called one of them by name.

I think it was McConnell.

McConnell?

Get the horses, Festus.

Now, boys, listen to me, all of you.

Get your horses, every man that can ride, and meet me back here right away.

We're going after him.
