And that's where the U.S. Marshal and the fellow gun smoke. ♪♪♪ Gun move. Sorry, William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved West with young America. And the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first man they looked for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful, but a little lonely. ♪♪♪ Everything sure is closed up tight, Mr. Jones. Don't look like nobody's here tall. That's somebody better be here. We'll leave the horses here at the side, huh? All right, sir. ♪♪♪ You don't seem likely that Will Hunter just be set not here when he's supposed to be in court. Now, there's got to be someplace just here. This is gonna be places when I just start. Hello? Anybody home? Open up. It's Matt Dillon. I want to talk to you. Sure, I don't seem like nobody's here. I'm not so sure. Up at the tower or I'll break it in. ♪♪♪ You ain't got no business with me. Are you, Ms. Hunter? Will Hunter married me? Oh, where is he, man? He ain't here. Well, I better talk to you. Can we come in? I told you. You ain't got no business with me. Oh, it's very important that we find your husband, Ms. Hunter. It ain't important to me. Oh, that should be. He was supposed to testify today against the man who stole your horses. I don't know nothing about it. You know, Mark Sealy? I ain't got nothing to say, not you. Look here, Ms. Hunter. I arrested Sealy on charges made by your husband. Now, I kept him in jail waiting for the circuit judge, and he came today, and I sent word out here to Hunter, but he didn't show up. Now, he doesn't show up tomorrow. The judge will have to tell me to turn Sealy loose. Now, is that what you want? What I want ain't in it. You won't answer my questions, isn't it? I told you, Marshall. Will ain't here. That's all I know to tell you. All right, Ms. Hunter. I just hope you won't be sorry. I'm used to being sorry. Come on, Chester. What'd she mean to that? I don't know. She's not likely to tell us, either. Well, what about Will? It looks like he changed his mind, or somebody changed it for him. Well, Chester, did you find Will Hunter? No, sir, Judge, I didn't. Well, I told you. Ain't no case against me. Now, just a minute, Sealy. Did you look the town over good, sir? Yes, sir. Mr. Joe And I sure did, I was in and out of ever eating place and salooning town. He ain't been seen. That's all I are to it. Did you check the hotel? Yes, sir. The library's stable. Yes, sir, and my grandma can't, so I'm neither. Huh? I'm sorry, Marshall. I can't delay things any longer. Now, wait a minute, Judge. You're going to let him go. There's nothing else for me to do. Or, of course, there ain't. I know it all the time. Turn me loose, Dylan. Hold on, Sealy. Look, Judge, this man is a gilder. You can't prove that, but Judge, there was a witness. Well, maybe there was, but under the law, he's not guilty if the witness doesn't testify. I'm sorry, Marshall. Well, I ain't sorry. Come on, what? Get out of here. Judge, will you? I have to dismiss the case, Marshall, on the basis of lack of evidence. And I have to let him go. You tell him all about it, Jim. [LAUGHS] Not long. I swear, I sure do hate seeing him just to walk out of here, Mr. Young. Yeah, Chester. Well, the law tries to protect everybody equally, Marshall. I know that, Judge. Sometimes people are scared to take advantage of it. All right, Chef, let's go. No, Mr. Young, I got me an idea that it's just as well as not if a body don't know too much. How's that? Well, now, if the judge hadn't know so much out of them all books, they wouldn't have been no couple tall. How do you figure? Well, we all know that Sealy was guilty, didn't we? Yeah, he's guilty. All right, then. I believe knowing all that legal business just got in the judge's way. You know, something, Chester, for once I'd like to agree with you. Just doing? All right. Setting him a courtroom that way sure does make a man hungry, don't it? All right, Chester. You'd go on. Go on and get your dinner. Why ain't you coming? No, not yet. I got some work to do in here. I'll see you later. Go on. All right, mister, don't I? Well, just don't do it. Oh, come on in, Dylan. It's your office. What are you doing here, Sealy? I mean, we're very friendly questions, Dylan. We've been right anxious to keep me here till now. What do you want? Tell him where. Me and Brother Moore come to pick up his gun. You're riding out of town, Sealy. Well, what's that got to do with? You don't get your gun until you do. And Marshall sure ain't real polite about it, is it? You fixed it more. Well, there ain't nothing to it where Marshall just heard that judge tell him to let loose of me. And he knows he can't do nothing about it. Don't you, Dylan. I could keep your gun as long as you're in Dutch. Sounds like that, Marshall. Don't trust me, don't it, Wayne. You can't do nothing to bother. Don't count on it. Well, you heard the judge-- Let me tell you something, Sealy. I know you're guilty, and you know I know it. There's somebody else who knows it. And who is that? Well, Hunter. I ain't worried about you. I'm going to tell you something else. I think you fixed it so Hunter couldn't show up today. You'll have probably to worry about it if he ever does. Dylan, you forgot something. I don't think so. You forgot a man can't be tried twice for the same crime. I'm not worried about that, Sealy. If I ever find Will Hunter, there'll be a brand new crime to try you for. [MUSIC PLAYING] [SIREN WAILING] [LAUGHTER] You're acting like a lawyer, just lost a big king. I did lose one. No, you didn't, Matt. You did your job. If a law wouldn't back you up, it's not just for. I'm beginning to agree with Chester. How's that? He thinks too much law just gets in the way. Well, Chester makes a point sometimes. Yeah, I guess he does. There's no use worrying about it, man. Hey, you know what? What? There's going to be dancing tonight. Oh, that's dope. Yeah, that's dope. I thought you might like to come. A little good on a hard work like dancing with me might take your mind out to trouble. Oh, thanks, get able to. I'm not much of a dancing man. Oh, right. Oh, man. There's a marshal in the middle of this, Doc. What the hell is it? Oh, we're here, Doc. I wonder what he's so excited, aren't I? I couldn't see in this dark place. I was coming out of the light, you know. Well, sit down, Doc. Oh, well, I shouldn't, kitty, but yeah, yeah, yeah. Matt. Yeah, Doc. Haven't you been looking for a will, Hunter? I sure have. Why, have you heard some? I found him. Where is he? Well, Matt, you know that spot out west to town? Where I like to go fishing when I get a chance. There's Hunter there. No, wait a minute. I'm trying to tell you. We'll go on. Well, I had a call to make out the range place. And I just stopped off to see if that big channelled catfish were still running things in that pool. Hey, Doc, you're staring at something out like a woman. All right, but that's the way it happened. The way what happened, Doc. The way I found Will Hunter. I heard a moaning in the bushes, man. And there he was. And he was hurt back. Off he was. Was he shot? He might as well have been there. He'd taken as bad a beating as a man, he ever tried. And he was left there for dead. And he just about was. Well, what did you do with it? Well, I got him into the bucket, and I took him home. Oh, Mrs. Hunter took all his supplements here. But when I brought him in, well, she hadn't heard anything from him for three days. Yeah. Is he going to make it, Doc? I don't know, Matt. I did everything I could. I'll be looking in on him tomorrow, and I'll try to find out something for you. Thanks, Doc. But I think I better try to find out for myself right now. All right, here, Mr. Bill. And I sure do hope that woman is glad her to see us this time. She was the last time we was out here. I don't expect she will be, Doc, since she was mighty upset. Well, no, Mr. Bill, and it just could be that she'd be glad to see us showing her interesting will and all. We stopping here? Yeah. Let's go up to the house on foot. [GUNSHOT] [GUNSHOT] Get on, Captain. She sure ain't no friend here, is she? Ah, not exactly. Well, follow her. She's been, uh, in the force that she's done. She's got a big old squirrel gun. Seems to kill us. Yeah. Well, Father, it's the Marshall. I want to talk to you. I'm coming in. Don't come no closer. I've got nothing to say here. We've come to help you, to help Will now. Will you put the gun down? Well, don't get no help. I just get hurt, ain't nobody else coming near him. I'm coming in, Miss Hunter. Will wants to see me. Why don't you leave us, please? Put the gun down. Why don't you leave us, please? Give me the gun, Miss Hunter. Chester. That's all right now, Miss Hunter. It's all right. Is it on? Tell Barbara to that chair and get her some water. I'm going to go see Will. Yes, sir. Now, don't worry, ma'am, ma'am. [INAUDIBLE] Will. [MUSIC PLAYING] Will. How was your mission, John? He's dead. Will, don't get no help. He just gets hurt. He just gets dead. Oh, that's terrible. Miss Hunter, do you know who did this to your husband? Oh, don't make no difference, no more. Yes, it does. See, Lee's brother Wes was out here, wasn't he? Going after him won't bring Will back. No, Miss Hunter won't, but if I know Will Hunter, it'll make him rest easier. Today, no use. It's over. I'm done. Now, you listen to me. Will was no coward. If he'd had the chance, he'd have spoken up. I know he'd have wanted you to do the same thing. No, he-- he didn't hold cowards. All right, then tell him, Miss Hunter. Was Mort See Lee's brother out here while I was holding Mort and Jill? He come three days ago. He told Will he'd take him where the horses was. So once, he had stolen. And Will rode off with him. And he didn't ride back. Dr. Adams brought him back to die. Justin. Mr.? I want you to do exactly what I tell you. I want you to go to Dodge. And leave you here? I want you to go to every place you can think of. The Delmonico's Hotel, the Liberty Stable. A long branch? No long branch. And I want you to do a lot of talking. Well, I'm still not-- I don't understand just what you're getting on. I want you to tell everybody you see that Will Hunter is doing fine. Just fine. But you just do what I say, Chester. Tell the story all over town. If M.C.D. brothers hear about this, they'll head right on. That's what I come on. Well, now, I ain't going off. Maybe you will only get in a pack of hand like this. That's all I can say. It just-- Chester. Yes, Mr. Dawn? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING] It's good of you to do the burying, Marshall Delmon. That's all right, ma'am. I have to thank you for that. You could have waited in the house, Ms. Hunter. It's my place to be here. A big, hard, don't it? The prayer I get's a big card. A hard-grown, hard-living, hard-dying. That's what I know. Nine years-- nine years, Will spent scraping the place out of this hard-ground denying himself me, too. No, it hasn't been easy. Nine years of flying in the sun, fighting to keep from being washed away when a storm's being bone-tired, not seeing folks. I mean, dying up alongside him. Ms. Hunter. We got to get the place going, Harry, see? And now he's going all the way down. Isn't that funny, Marshall? Oh, ma'am. He got the place started, and now it's finished. Oh, I hear it that's funny, Marshall. That's a real joke. Ms. Hunter, look. Well, why don't you go away for a while, huh? Well, just-- where do you figure I'd go, Marshall? I-- I don't know. I don't know if maybe you're-- probably, it just seems to me that do you good to leave. Marshall, I hate this place. With a mortal hate, I ain't never done nothing else but hate it. But Will Hunter's great sit-out for me. With his bare hands, it seemed like. And he lies here. I am never going to leave. There might be more shooting. Oh, there'll always be more shooting. No, I mean here, Ms. Hunter. I must see my brothers come. I'll be proud to wait for that, Marshall didn't. Why aren't you afraid you could get hurt? There ain't nothing for me to be afraid of, Marshall. Not ever again. [MUSIC PLAYING] I tell you, Mort, I hope I won't be making this right. May I go to a road you never could do nothing right the first time. I don't, just like you told me, Mort. Come in, I got him, and I rode out with him, and I left him. And one thing you did not do, how's that? You didn't kill him. Now, Mort, I don't understand that. I just rightly don't. He ain't got no call to be living, not after what I done. Where are you? Well, I just want to tell you one thing, brother West. Don't you make no mistake this time. Tells you won't have no call to be living, neither. Sure, Mort. There won't be nothing to it. Just see to it that there ain't. Mark, what about the woman? She's a witness, ain't she? Sure, but I don't want no witness living. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Miss Holler? Marshall? They're coming. They're riding in the gate right now. I'm ready. Now, I want you to stay quiet and out of sight. I ain't afraid. I want them to make the first move. You understand that? I understand all about it. All right. I'm waiting till they come up on the porch. You just stay quiet. I'm going back to the window. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] And don't do you no good way in there and hide. I don't mean less. We don't finish it this time. They're leaving our horses. Don't go easy if we don't have to come in after you, Hudders. It'll go easy on your wife. If we come in now, then we're going to give chance to beat on you some more. I think that right way. No. Right, Lord. No, you ain't coming in. I'm going on the beat. I'm not going to go back. Hunter, come back. They'll tell you. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Come on. Boy, she went and shot me more. She killed me. Woman went, killed Wes. Yeah. Hey, you killed her. Crazy woman. Run out of the gun. Isn't there a bold mile? I mean, clean out. You know what, the terrible thing? Woman running around shooting people. Anyway, she's showing. There'll be no witness now. That's right, feeling. You only got one witness to worry about now. Who's that, Morgan? Me. You stand steady, Lord. I bind up that arm. I want you in good shape to stand trial.
