You just did? Oh, Doc. Oh, what are you doing up early, Doc? Early. It's almost noon. Well, that's early for some people. Oh, early for some people. I didn't come here to get into any personal arguments, Matt. I want to borrow one of your shotgun Where are you shot, Dan? Who do you think you are, Doc? Holiday? Alrighty, I've asked you nice. Now, I'll just help myself Good. It's loaded. But I'll need more than these two shells. What do you keep them? Oh, fetching my handful, Chester. Yes, sir. Yes, at least a handful. I don't know what I might run into. Here you are. Do you mind? Don't you trust your aim, Doc? Are you planning to blow up a whole lot of people? None of your business, but I have to go up the river to Pierceville for a week or so and I thought I might bag a few quail and prairie chicken along the way Well, that won't make very good eating, Doc. Oh, is that so, and why not? Well, you're going to get feathers. Oh, I'm going to get a what? We don't keep those guns here to shoot birds with, you know. Oh, follow it. Yeah, Chester. Give me some decent ammunition. Oh, you didn't say what you wanted for, Doc. Do I have to explain? I am not a murderer? Is this the U.S. Marshall's office? Yeah, that's right. Come on in, Mr. I got something to tell you, Marshall. Okay. First, better say my name. Damn it, Dooley. All right, Dooley. Now, for what I got to tell you. I've been skinning hide, Marshall, working for a buffalo hunter named Copit, you know him? No, I don't. Well, there was this Copit in his partner Faber and me and the cook. Nobody knows the cook's name. We're just calling the cook. And we was camped up the Arkansas River at Turkey Bend, you know what that is? Yeah, yeah, I know. Well, sir, Copit, he broke out some whiskey, night before last, and we all took the drink in it. And Marshall, it's a bad thing, but when I drink whiskey, I get kind of senseless. Well, most men do, Dooley. Not like me. I go crazy wire. You won't believe it to look at me, Marshall, but I'm a dangerous man when I'm drinking whiskey. I see. Well, uh, what happened the other night? That fell of Faber I was telling you about? Yeah. I killed him, Marshall. You did? Yes, sir. I shot and killed him. I know why I did it, except that I was senseless drunk on that whiskey. I don't even remember doing it, Marshall, but when I come to next morning, their mother fellas told me about it. They'd already buried him. They showed me his grave. Poor old Faber. I feel awful bad, I did it. Dooley, most men, when they kill somebody, don't come tell the law about it. Why did you? I never killed nobody before, Marshall, and I can't have shooting Faber on my mind. I had to come. Well, where are the rest of these people? Carpet and the cook. They went off on to their prairie summers hunting buffalo. I got no idea where they are. Were you going to hang me, Marshall? No, no, I don't hang men. I mean, what I come here for? You the law, ain't you? Look, Dooley, nobody gets hung before they get tried. And I can't send you up for trial unless I see the body of the man you killed. But I told you, Marshall, it was Faber I killed. OK, OK, it was Faber, but I got to testify that a crime has been committed, and the law reads I can't do that without seeing the body. You calling me a liar? No, I'm not calling you a liar. And I don't understand none of this. Well, don't you worry about it, Dooley. I'll take care of it. How? I'll write out the turkey band and find the grave. Oh, I wouldn't do that, Marshall. No, sir. Not in this way, then. Well, I don't have to bring him into dodge, Dooley. I can leave him buried there. Oh. Oh, well, I'll go with you. No, no, you won't. It's a bad enough trip as it is. You don't like me because I'm a murderer. I like you fine, Dooley. I mean... Chester, would you lock him up? The turkey band was about 20 miles up the Arkansans, and since he was headed that way, Doc Adams rode along with us. We reached the campsite about mid-afternoon, but it took us another hour to find the grave. There was no marker on it. And in fact, only the color of the fresh-turned-earth made it possible to find it all. Chester and I did the shovel work, and Doc did the examine. What's he taking so long for him, Mr. Dooley? Oh, Doc's slow, Chester, but he doesn't miss much. What's there to miss? He's just a shot man. I mean, a Doc shot man. I mean, man... Never mind, Chester. Oh, he's through now. You can put him back now. I've seen all I need. Oh, I should hope so, Doc. Oh, he's looking for a measles. It isn't what I was looking for, Chester. It's what I found. Oh, what do you mean, Doc? Matt, I remember Dooley saying he shot this man. Is that right? Oh, that's what he said. Well, Little Dooley got it all mixed up. Faber there didn't die from a bullet. He died from a knife. What? Right through the heart. A knife, huh? Yeah, until they sure did get it mixed up. That or somebody told him wrong. It don't make sense. I'd have to make more sense if I could talk to Copa. How are you ever going to find him out here? He could be any worse any direction. We might be a week looking for him. We'll make him come to us, Chester. Yeah, man, the cookbook. Come to, uh... You'll see. When we get back to Dodge. [MUSIC] Almost 100 years ago, Charles Kingsley wrote that tobacco is a lone man's companion. A bachelor's friend, a hungry man's fool, a sad man's cordial, a wakeful man's sleep, and a chilly man's fire. These words describe what Chesterfield means to millions of smokers today. You and I smoke for relaxation, for comfort, for satisfaction. And in the whole wide world, no cigarette satisfies like a Chesterfield. Only Chesterfield has the right combination of the world's best tobaccos. Tobacco's that are highest in quality, low in nicotine, best for you. Get a carton of Chesterfield today. Chesterfield regular, Chesterfield kingside, both at the same price in most places. [MUSIC] Bring him in, Chester. Come on, Julie. Time is up and the doo is almost gone from all the little plants and flowers. Chester woke me up, Marshall. You're gonna have to do your sleeping somewhere else from now on, Julie. I can sleep anywhere anytime. That's what I like about winter. Nothing to do but sleep. Julie, I'm turning you loose. What? I don't want you to leave Dodge, but I don't want you in jail either. What's the matter with me being in jail? I shot a man didn't I? You saw the body, didn't you? You got the evidence? Don't you worry about it, Julie. Just do what I tell you to. I want you to stay in Dodge, but not in jail. What? I got no money. I got nothing to eat. I got no place to sleep. I'm a buffalo skinner. How am I gonna get a job in Dodge? Julie? Here, here's, uh... Here's $10. Now, you can live on that fine. No. Now, go on, take it. Well, okay. But I'm not a man to borrow money. Now, you're doing me a favor. I sure'd have made carpet pay me off. Like he said, it didn't make sense. Me being in jail, I couldn't spend nothing. I may pay you off yet, Julie. What? Never mind. But look, if I catch you drinking that money, I'm gonna take it away from you and you'll starve. Oh, I won't be drinking, Marshal. Didn't I tell you how crazy and dangerous I am when I drink whiskey? No, sir, I won't do that. Good. Now, if anybody asks you why you're not in jail, tell 'em I said I'm waiting for something. Waiting for what? Well, say, I didn't tell you. And one other thing. Don't you tell anybody we wrote out and found Faber's body. Don't tell anybody at all. Just forget about that. I'm all mixed up, Marshal. Am I still under arrest? No, no, Julie. Now, why don't you go on and get out of here? I got work to do, huh? Can I come see you sometime? You and Chester? Sure, sure, of course you can. But I don't want you hanging around here all day. Okay. I won't. She's once in a while. I wouldn't feel right otherwise, Marshal. Me being a murderer, no? So long. So long, do it. Bye, Julie. Mr. Dylan. What, Chester? How come you didn't tell Julie that Faber was killed with a knife? He's still thinking he saw him in a poor little cast. I know. I'm sorry I have to do it this way, but... Word will get around. It'll get clear out onto the prairie, even. And when it does, I don't want carpet and the cook to be scared off. I only want them to be real curious. So curious, they'll come to dodge and start asking questions. What good will that do? We'll find out when I got here, Chester. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] Sure there, Mr. Dylan? No, no thanks, Chester. No, sir, I didn't mean to need you on something. I meant I wanted some. [♪♪♪] Thank you. [♪♪♪] Coffee's mighty black tonight. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] Chester, you know, sugar's not going to change the color of the coffee. No, sir, but it sure sweetens it up. [♪♪♪] Yeah. [♪♪♪] Well, look at the hair. It's dooley. Huh? Oh, dooley. Alright, well sit down, have a cup of coffee, huh? [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] I mean, you're going to say hello, dooley? [♪♪♪] I can't stand it, no more. [♪♪♪] You've got to help me. Oh, what's the matter, dooley? What's troubling you? [♪♪♪] Two days. [♪♪♪] I've been out of jail for two days. I can't go to another one, Mark. [♪♪♪] Why? What is it? [♪♪♪] Well, everybody treats me bad. [♪♪♪] They won't have nothing to do with me. They say I admit, shooting a man, I ought to be in jail. Talking about you too, Marshall, for letting me out. People talk whatever I do. Well, I can't face them out no more. In any ways, I did kill them. I ought to be in jail. Well, Marshall, this way, I feel like I'd stole a sheep. That's how I feel, just like I'd stole a sheep. I'm sorry, dooley. You've got to help me. It's not that we didn't even let me sleep in the room and house. Or the hotel, nor no place. Seems to me the citizens of Dodger got mighty high minded all of a sudden. But I'll help you, dooley. Thanks, Marshall. But not in jail. I can't let you stay there. But there's a shack out back of the jail that belongs to Doc. He stores some stuff in it. Say that, tonight. And I'll give you some blankets. Julie, we got plenty of them around. Doc, might find me in shooting you something. Oh, no, he won't let him. He won't be back for a week tomorrow. Anyway, he'll be glad you're using him, please. Well, can I stand it all day, too? Sure you can. And if you'll show yourself somewhere, every now and then, you know, I don't want anybody to think that you've left Dodger. I've got to eat. Will that do it? Fine, fine. Okay. But Marshall, I'd sure like to know what a man has to do to get jail in Dodge City, Kansas. I don't know what Julie did to pass the time, but for the next few days, he hit day and night in Doc's shack back of the jail, and came out only to eat a meal in the restaurant now and then. I felt sorry for him. But I'd have felt sorry if he'd been hung for a crime. I knew he was innocent of. A week passed and nothing happened until one day when I went into the general store after a new watch chain, I ordered. Mr. Jonas wasn't there, but Kitty was. Hello, Matt. Hey, Kitty. You going to buy that hat? Like it? Oh, it looks fine. Fine. Really? You sure? Oh, yeah, take it. You won't do better than that. I had Mr. Jonas order it six months ago. Huh? Oh, well, the meals are slow sometimes. It came on the Santa theme, Matt. Not by Pony Express. What? I ordered this hat six months ago. It arrived four months ago, and I've been wearing it ever since. Where's Mr. Jonas, Kitty? I'm glad you like it, though. He's out back trying to sell somebody a new wagon. Oh, well, that's a bigger item than my watch chain. I better come back tomorrow. Hey, here he comes now. The wagon you can buy, Mr. I guarantee you'll never have any trouble with it. It's too expensive. What's the matter with him kind of so good people? They raise their prices every year. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. If I don't sell that wagon by noon tomorrow, you can have it $50 off. You mean that? You had my word, noon tomorrow. I'm camped down on the river. Right where the cotton was began. Won't you drive it out there at noon? No. No, if you want it, you'll have to pick it up here. I got only one man in my camp. I cook, that's why I ask. Where are the rest of your men? They're gone. And I'll be picking up a new crew before I head out again. You shouldn't have any trouble finding hide-skimmers around here. I'll do it tomorrow when I come in for the wagon. Oh, by the way, there's a friend of mine in town called Dooley. You know where I could find him? Well, no, I don't. But here's the man to ask. I don't know any, Dooley. I never even heard of him. What? I'd like to get in my watch chain, no? Uh, has it come in yet? Well, yes, but I... We've been waiting half an hour, Mr. Jonas. Aren't you ever going to be through with him? Don't get enough fat, lady, soon now. See you at noon in the morning, though, Jesus. You sure, sure. Thanks, Kitty. You're on that. Now, what is this all about, Marshall? Mr. Jonas, that man's name is call fit. I've been waiting a long time for him to get here. Oh, now I understand it was his partner Dooley killed. That's why he was saying he's running his outfit alone now that he's got all the money. Is that what he said? Yes, and he also said something about taking care of the law here before he left. Of course, I didn't think anything about it. It's time lots of men talk like that. Yeah, yeah, I guess they do. But, uh, call fit may mean it. [MUSIC PLAYING] Ah, how about Doc, when'd you get back? Oh, a couple of hours ago, man. Well, what are you doing in here, Dooley? Doc found me in his shack, back, Marshall. We've been talking. Talking? Well, Matt, I just got back. I didn't know what was going on here. Doc told me about favor. He says he was killed with a knife. He says I didn't shoot him. Oh, I'm sorry, Matt. I guess you didn't want him to know. Oh, it's all right, Doc. It doesn't matter, no. Is that true, Marshall? I didn't kill favor? Yeah, it's true, Dooley. Call fit, kill him. Couldn't mean it, him. Tell me to go get hung for it. Pretty dog on me. Well, it's all over now, Dooley. I'll take care of Call fit. Wow. You'll just go on saying hi, Donnie. Look, I want you to leave Dodge. You go someplace where Call fit can't find you. Then I'm going down to his camp while he's in town tomorrow when I rest the cook. Well, the cook, you said Call fit done. Well, he did. But I'm going to throw the cook in jail and then take Call fit. When I tell him the cook has told me the whole story, I think I can break Call fit down and he'll confess. That Call fit don't care about nothing. Tell me I done it. Marshall, I wish I'd never gone to work for that man. You'd have been better off if you hadn't, Dooley. But you're out of trouble now. Unless Call fit finds you. So you get out of Dodge as fast as you can, man. I'll get Chester to find you a horse of some kind. He's a wicked man, Call fit is a wicked, wicked man. Sure. I know you got going, Dooley, huh? And good luck to you. Thank you, Marshall. You've been as good as you could be to me, I guess. Yeah. Sometimes, if I'm Dodge again, I'll come see you maybe. For sure. If any time, Dooley, I'll be glad to see you. Well, so long. So long, Marshall. ♪ There are more than 60 million cigarette smokers in America who smoke many brands.

So they settled on an old Jack Mule. I didn't see Dooley again. But Chester told me later that he'd rub steaking with another 10 out of his own pocket when he saw him on. I guess we both felt a little guilty about the way I'd had to treat him. Anyway, the next day, just afternoon, we rode down to the river to pick up the cook and faked a trap for the real murderer, Colford. Are you going to find this camp, Mr. Dylan? Well, they said it was where the cottonwoods began, Chester. Oh, right over there. He'll kindly spoil everything as Colford decided not to go to town after all, won't it? Yeah, sure would. There's his horses. Yeah. There ain't no smoke coke. That cook ain't cooking nothing. Oh, with carpet and town, he's probably asleep. Hey, he's shooting at us now. Ah! There's a hole up ahead, Chester, right for it. All right, leave your horse, Chester! I told you, carpet didn't go on time, could you? A cop, it's a buffalo hunter. Chester, he couldn't miss it. That range with his eyes closed. That's the cook. Oh. What's the cook shooting at us for? Well, I'll ask him. What's the matter with you? You drunk? I'm drunk. I'm crazy wild drunk. He's doing it. Dooley, stop it. It's Marshall, Dylan, and Chester. I know who it is. I want to kill you, too. Kill us, too. I don't kill carpet in the cook. We shot the rifle, now I'm going to kill you. No! Cultic was lying about me killing Faber. I never killed nobody in my life before, but I'm starting now. Oh, it's that $10 I give you. You must have gone and drunk it out here. Dooley, I know you're drunk, but we're going to sit here in this hole until you're sober up. Do you hear me? I ain't going to sober up. I'm going to kill people. You can't stay drunk forever. We'll wake you out. Come on out of here. Come on out of here, tell you. You're wasting ammunition, Dooley. You can't hit us here. Then I'm coming after you. I'm going to walk right up there and kill you. No! No, Dooley, don't do it. I'll have to kill you if you try it. Do you want to come, Marshall? Don't do it, Dooley. I'm going to kill everybody. I'll get over there as far as I can, Mr. Dylan. Then we can both jump in my shore. We can't let him kill us. No, Chester, it's my job, I'll do it. All right, stay down now. You can't get away from Dooley. Nobody can't. Throw you hat in the air, Chester. You'll look at it for just a second. Oh, that's it, Chester. Come on. Dooley, Dooley. You killed me. I didn't kill you. You killed me. Dooley, you're the last man in the world I wanted to kill. Cupid, you cook. They're dead. I shot him. You kill me. Dooley, you're the last man in the world I wanted to kill. Cupid, you cook. They're dead. I shot him. Cupid was a mean wicked man, Marshall. Yeah, he was. Marshall? What? I can't say hello to you. Next time I'm in bed, you said I could. Yeah, yeah, you come, Dooley. Sure, you. You come any time you want. Thanks, Marshall. Thank you. Mm-hmm. You know, Mr. Dooley, that's terrible. But you must feel the worst I do. Oh, I mean... Never mind the talk, Chester. Now, let's get busy. We got three men to bury. ♪ Like I'm filtered? Like I'm king-sized? Then for you, this is it.
