Starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

Wake up. He's here.

About time.

Now we can get going.

Rub him down.

Feed him up.

What's he doing?

Take it easy.

We'll wait for him inside.

Pour.

That's the sixth bucket of rinse water.

Towel, huh?

Huh? Yeah, towel.

Here, here.

That's the fourth.

- Give me a mirror. - Fourth towel.

Here... here, here you are.

Let's see, that's, uh...

All right, where are my clothes, huh?

Oh, I'll get 'em for you in a minute.

Now.

Ching Lee, where are them clothes?

Come on! Get 'em over here in a hurry!

Ooh, that's, uh...

Hey, that's good stuff there.

Yeah, I know.

Comes all the way from St. Louis.

Is that a fact?

At a mighty high price.

Let's see, that's, uh...

That was, uh, six... six buckets of hot water.

It was five.

It was six buckets of hot water.

Four towels.

Come on in! Come on in!

Shut the door after you.

It's about time you're getting here.

You used a half a bottle of that stuff.

Go on, put 'em down over there.

Give me that towel, huh?

Here, here.

Well, pay her.

- What? - Pay her.

I'll take care of you later.

Oh, all right.

Here you are, here you are.

Now, go on, get out of here.

That was 35 cents there...

What they call this? The witch hazel, huh?

If you're going to pay for it, you can use it.

What's keeping him? It's over an hour.

It's worth waiting for.

Maybe he don't need that $1,000.

Take it easy.

There he is.

My laundry! My laundry!

You've spotted me for the last time!

My laundry!

The last time.

The laundry! Give it to me.

What you doing?

Listen, fella... I gave you a warning.

Yeah?

Now, I gave you three shirts, and you only sent me two!

No! Please!

Let me have some of that laundry.

No!

No!

Hey, get out of the way, huh?

I said out of the way.

No!

What's he doing?

Oh, Father.

Hold it!

I said hold it!

Mister!

That was a bad move.

He's dead!

You wanted Bascome.

There he is.

Shut up.

Shut up, huh?

Just tell me how you're going to go about getting Dillon now.

Here are his saddlebags.

Your, uh...

your father has been took care of.

Thank you.

He's dying.

The nearest doc's in Dodge.

That's three hours or better.

The looks of him, he'd never make it.

I could go.

Will you stay with him?

I can't leave him here alone.

Look, I've got business to take care of...

Oh, please, please.

I'll pay you for your time.

- Well... - Please.

Please.

Well, all right, go ahead.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Doctor! Doctor!

- Are you the doctor? - Well, yes.

Will you come with me?

A man has been shot.

I'll get my bag.

Doctor...

How is he?

Well, I don't know yet.

He's a very brave man.

And you have some grit yourself.

If you hadn't cauterized that bullet wound,

you wouldn't have had to come into Dodge after me,

tell you that.

But it wasn't enough, was it?

Well, I don't know about that.

We'll have to wait till that swelling goes down.

I'm kind of concerned about nerve damage there.

Nerve damage?

He might lose that arm.

Now...

I've tied that leg up like that

because those muscles will heal better that way.

I don't want him to move when he wakes up.

You won't let him, will you?

No, I won't.

And let him have some food, when he comes to...

Something that will give him nourishment,

like a good strong soup.

Will you do that?

Yes, of course I will.

All right, I'll get back into Dodge now,

but I'll be back.

Doctor, thank you for everything.

No, no, no, never mind about that.

He'll take care of it.

Oh, please, I want to pay.

I owe him so much.

Seems to me he owes you something, too.

Get some sleep.

Thank you.

♪♪

Get this off of me!

- Please, don't move. - Get it off me!

- Please don't move your muscle. - Who did this to me?

The doctor. Your leg is in a...

Get it off.

- Don't move. - Don't just stand there.

Untie it! Untie it!

I will not, and you mustn't try.

You're wounded, and you're going to start bleeding.

Now, please!

I don't care what no doctor said, now, untie me.

I said untie me!

No!

Who are you?

My name is Ching Lee.

Welcome to my home.

The doctor said you should eat when you're awake.

I've kept the soup...

hot for you.

It will be very good.

Here you go.

Why did you do that?

Nobody's going to spoon-feed me.

Where's my gun?

Might as well be sitting in jail.

Ain't no difference.

Are you going to shut up?

As soon as doc comes out, we'll talk to him.

Doc.

He's the one I'd like to get my hands on.

That's your trouble.

You've got muscles for brains.

Yeah? Well, I ain't done so bad.

No, you ain't done so bad.

Spent six years in prison on account of your...

Don't start that again.

Oh, you're clever.

You'd shoot Dillon in the back in some alley, huh? Hmm?

Yeah, that's right.

No, that's not right.

Look, it's much better my way.

We let Bascome do the job for us.

A fair fight.

Then the law can't come down on us, right?

Aw, come on, sawbones.

Get on out of there.

Now squeeze.

Was that the best you can do? Squeeze it.

All right, all right. That's enough.

Doctor?

Well...

"Well" what?

I won't have to amputate.

You know you don't have to amputate.

What about my leg?

It's going to be all right.

Well, then, get me out of this contraption then, will you?

Well, not if you ever want to use it again.

Well, how long do you figure that's going to take?

If you're lucky, two or three weeks.

Three weeks?

Why, you going someplace, are you?

No, no, I got nowhere to go.

I heard what you did for her father.

Yeah?

Well, it's kind of unusual nowadays,

for anybody to stand up to three guns

for an old man.

Oh, yeah, well, uh...

it just, uh, happened.

I suppose so.

Well, that's all I can do for you,

but I'm leaving you in good hands.

You pay attention to what Ching Lee tells you,

and you'll be all right.

Thank you, Doctor.

I'll get some money.

I got money.

Get my pants.

That be enough?

It will ride.

Good luck to you.

Thank you, Doctor,

for everything you have done.

Young lady, if you're ever out of a job,

I can use a good nurse.

♪♪

Can I help you?

We'd like to see Joe Bascome.

Are you friends of his?

Business acquaintances.

Oh, all right.

Go in.

That's what we're paying $1,000 for.

You looked real good, Bascome,

against them three.

How much you make for it?

Of all the fool crazy stunts...

Our deal is still on.

Why, you can't even reach your own pistol

hanging on the bedpost.

How you gonna face Dillon?

I'll face him.

Yeah. When?

A week, a month, two months?

How do we know you'll still be able to take him after this?

Maybe you'd like to face Dillon.

Or what about you?

Or maybe you found somebody else to do the job?

If we had, we wouldn't be here.

Now get out of here.

I'm sick of your small talk.

We'll be seeing you.

One minute, dinner will be ready.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

You just stick to your cooking.

You know you must not move around much.

You're going to start bleeding again.

I don't have to take orders from you.

Can I help?

No.

Oh, be careful!

Oh, God!

Don't sneak up on me like that.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.

I'm just a little jumpy, that's all.

I understand.

You do, huh?

The doctor said not to walk on your leg for a week yet.

You got any whiskey in the house?

No.

Would you like me to get you some?

Yeah, yeah, you do that.

Here-Here's some money.

Oh, no! I have enough, thank you.

I have got some wine.

Wine?

It was my father's.

It's very old and very good.

He drank very little at a time.

He was afraid to run out.

It's very good.

Well, aren't-aren't you going to have some?

Oh, yes.

Chung ming fu kwai.

Hmm?

Chung ming fu kwai.

Health and happiness.

Oh, yeah.

Chung ming fu kwai.

Chung... ming...

fu...

fu.

Kwai...

kwai.

Yeah.

You don't like it?

Yeah, it's-it's, uh...

it's-it's-it's not, uh, it's-it's very interesting.

I get some whiskey.

No, really, you don't have to.

It's very, uh...

You've been splashing that stuff down for two weeks now.

Well, ain't nothin' better to do, that I've seen.

May I have a bottle of whiskey, please?

Hey, having a party?

- Hmm? - Excuse me.

I said are you and Bascome having a party?

No.

Now what's going on back there?

Is he sick or ain't he?

Tell me the truth now.

Nah, come on, easy.

Now, see... we're just a little worried about him, miss, huh?

What's he doing, burrowing in for the winter?

Feeling better?

Yeah, I am. I... I am.

I'm glad.

Yeah, so am I, that's a fact.

You-you-you are the workingest woman.

You want me to stop?

You want to talk?

Nothing to talk about.

Okay.

No, no, no, I'll-I'll take care of that.

It's too heavy for you.

Ah, it's not too heavy for my arm.

I'll take care of it.

Well, is there...

Well, is there anything else I can do for you?

You have a nice laugh.

It's the sound of laughter that's nice.

Are-are you gonna wash all this over again?

No, just rinse it.

Well, uh...

Let's-let's have a drink.

I'll get the whiskey.

No, no, get the rice wine.

But you don't like it.

Well, it grows on you.

All right.

Just enough.

Chung ming... fu kwai.

Chung ming fu kwai.

No, don't.

You're... pretty.

Don't look like that arm's giving you too much trouble.

You setting up in the laundry business, Bascome?

All right, what do you want?

What do you think?

I think we've waited long enough.

And I think we're going to Dodge.

All right, I'll, uh, I'll see you there in a couple of days.

You'll see us there tomorrow.

Or what?

Or the deal's off

and you can do all the laundry you want.

$1,000 is a lot of money.

I want $500 now and $500 when the job's done.

Steady.

Good-bye.

You want something?

No.

Bye, Joe.

Joe...

Joe... Joe...

Joe, please don't go.

I love you, Joe.

Love you.

You what?

I love you.

Is it funny I should love you?

Joe, why are you laughing?

I've wanted to laugh like this for a long time.

You know how funny you look there standing...

Look like, standing there-there,

telling-telling me that you love me?

You take everything.

Do you think I put myself in front of those three guns

to save your father? That old man?

He didn't mean anything to...

You don't mean anything to me.

I don't understand.

All right, then, I'll tell you.

In little simple words.

I was on my way to Dodge, on business... my business!

When this stupid thing happened.

I had no choice of being here.

I didn't want to be here.

And then it got convenient.

That's right, convenient.

Well...

I don't need your convenience anymore.

I don't need you anymore.

Understand?

It's simple.

Well, don't just stand there.

How much money do I owe you?

Give me, give me, give me a bill.

I'll pay you off. How much, how much do I owe you?

Here...

here, $20 ought to cover it.

Thanks for your services.

Have a drink.

Bottle.

I was just by the marshal's office.

He's not there.

He'll be in on the Abilene stage, about 8:00 tonight.

You bring that, uh, little laundry lady with you?

You tell him to hold his tongue,

or I'll tear it out of his head.

- Listen, uh... - Shut up.

I'll be at the hotel, if you want me.

Like I was a mailman.

Ching Lee!

Excuse me.

Never mind. Here.

What's that?

I don't know!

I hope it's important.

Why couldn't he give it to you himself

instead of waking a man up at the crack of dawn?

- Who? - Oh, that friend of yours.

The one that got shot up.

Well, hey, look who's here.

I'm looking for Joe.

Why you telling us?

You said you were business acquaintances.

Now I understand what you meant.

Is that a fact?

Look, little lady, you just leave Bascome alone.

Don't mess in this.

You hired Joe to kill someone!

- Shh! - Shut up.

Shh!

- Here, take this. - What?

It's the money you gave Joe.

Shh!

Take it back!

I'm giving it back to you

so he doesn't have to do the job.

Will you shut up! Quiet!

Listen, I don't know what you have in mind...

- No, I will not! - Shh!

I want Joe to live! Please don't...

- Shh! - Take this money and get out of here!

Please! Leave me alone!

They're roughing up a girl.

Are you all right?

All right, you big brave men,

get out of here right now.

And don't come back.

Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you?

How do you like her?

Always in trouble with things like that.

Who is it?

Joe?

It's me, Joe.

Open the door, please?

What are you doing here? What do you want?

You.

I want you, Joe.

Don't you listen to me when I talk?

I listen to you. I listen to your words.

That was my mistake.

Go home. I don't want you.

Go home!

What happened?

- Nothing. - Tell me. What happened?

- No... - I want to know what happened.

- No. - Now tell me. Tell me!

I tried to make them take back the money.

We don't need the money, Joe.

- You stay here. - We don't need it.

Joe, no!

Don't be stupid.

Do it. Go ahead.

Paul...

Do it!

Now, ease off, Joe.

Which one of you did it?

No, the girl was shooting her mouth off.

It would've been all over town.

Which one?

It was me, but she was shooting her mouth off.

Stand up.

You read.

Stand up.

Take off your gun belts.

Take them off!

Well, come on, Top Gun.

Let's see what you can do with your hands.

If you even as much as look at that girl,

I'll kill you both.

Now, as for Dillon, you buy yourself another gun.

I'm going to kill him.

Sure you are.

It's your fault.

You had to get Dillon by having him...

Shut up!

Well, come here.

This is as wrong as anything can be.

No.

It will never last.

It will last forever.

No.

No, only until a better gun comes along.

You will drop your gun.

And do what?

That's how I make my living.

You don't make a living with a gun.

You make death.

Well, what can I do?

Maybe I should open a laundry?

That's a way to make a living.

Are all your people like you?

No.

They are not as happy.

Sorry to bust in like this, Bascome.

Don't move.

Take off the belt.

Well?

It's getting late.

What does that got to do with it?

I told you to find yourself another gun.

You're our gun, Bascome.

We talked it over.

You're going to meet that stage at 8:00.

And if I don't?

We're gonna be up here with a gun

pointed at your little girlfriend's head.

If you don't kill him,

we kill her.

All right, sit down.

It's only 5:00.

We don't want you all tired out.

Dillon's pretty good.

Maybe better than me.

What happens if it don't go the way you want it to?

She'll, uh... be alone then, won't she, huh?

You'll be dead.

Shouldn't make no difference to you what happens to her.

Oh, you're going to be a big man, Bascome.

Even bigger than you are now.

Yeah, the man who killed Matt Dillon.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For giving you hope.

For thinking that I could just walk away

from everything that I was.

What are you doing?

Don't want to give him a loaded gun here and now.

He'd really like that.

It's about that time, Bascome.

Paul...

take him downstairs.

He can load up down there.

Come on.

Remember...

if anything goes wrong

I'll put a bullet in her head

before you can flick an eye.

Understand?

Joe...

I love you, Joe.

That's a very sweet picture.

Come on.

We'll be watching, so play it right.

I bet he'll want a drink.

I'll bring him right in.

Hello, Doc.

Matt, how are you?

Well, how have things been?

Nothing changed much.

Dillon!

My name is Bascome, Joe Bascome.

And I'm calling you.

Doc, better get out of the way.

Joe!

Matt, bring her into Dodge House.

Well?

It's a little too soon to tell.

You mean she could die?

She's very badly hurt.

But there-there must be something,

something you can do.

Well, Mr. Bascome, I'm going to do everything I can.

Just could be the rest is up to you.

Joe?

I'm here.

Joe?

I'm here.

Stay tuned for scenes from next week's Gunsmoke.
