Gun smoke, starring 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 Marshall, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. There's a chance they job, and it makes a man watchful at a little lonely. Hello, Laurie. Hello, Kitty. I thought you weren't coming to work till this evening. That's harder at the boarding house than it is here in the saloon. He got your hair fixed, different. Yeah. How do you like it done up like this? Nice, real nice. Maybe I'll have it this way then. See what some of the men think of it. Honey, it isn't the way you fix your hair that attracts, man. Oh, I know that. Just thought some of them might notice that at all. They will. One in particular. You mean, Roke? Uh-huh. How was he, by the way? I hadn't seen him in here the last few days. You've been doing some ranch work for a man Johnson. Sounds like he's settling down. You better watch out, Laurie. He's liable to ask you to marry, you know. Not Roke. He likes me, but he won't ask me to marry him. Well, you can never tell. I'm a saloon girl, Kitty. Men don't ask saloon girls to marry him. It's happened. Not to me, it hasn't. Well, look at that. What? It's like you got company. How do you miss Kitty? Laurie. Hello, Roke. Hello, Roke. Here's the work to do. I'll see you later. All right. Bye, Kitty. Excuse me. You mind if I sit down? Well, you just help yourself. Hey, you, uh, you finished your job? Oh, yeah. He just wanted some fence fix. He didn't amount to much. You make enough money to buy me some beer? Sure. Uh, Sam, bring us a couple of beers, right away. Hey, you know, I kind of missed you past few days, Laurie. Why, you sound surprised. Well, there ain't many women I ever missed. Now, what makes me so special? Hmm? I, I don't know. I, uh, just when I was out there fixing fans, I, I, I just got thinking about you. Um, how you moving, walking, all of it? Well, most people move and walk. Oh, yeah, but it's different with you. You know what I mean. You did. Thank you, Sam. Hmm. Now, come on, Roke. Tell me what you mean. What makes me so different from other people? Uh, well, you know what I mean, Laurie. I, I, I, I, I, this, thinking about you just made me a, a want to come, a town, I saw. Well, I sure didn't know you liked me because of the way I was. Oh, it ain't a holy that, you know it. Well, that's what you said. No, no, no. I've done no such a good thing. You just put words in my mouth. Now, maybe I should, uh, get up and walk for you now. Oh, come on, Laurie. You just cut out teeth in me. I think you're getting mad. No, no. I ain't getting mad. Of course, I, I could go tea some other man. Maybe they wouldn't get so robbed, or like that when they just came in. Yes, sir. I bet he ain't took a bath in six months. Yeah. Or seen a woman. No, likely not. It's a buffalo, I guess. You know, maybe after all that time, he needs to see something besides buffalo and sagebrush. I think I'll go over. Laurie, no, no, no, no, leave him be. Ah, be fine. Don't need you. Be careful, Laurie. You never tell about a fella like that. You're jealous, rogues. No, I ain't. That was your, just, I don't like to see you get all tangled up or something you can't handle, because like you said, he probably ain't seen a woman. Oh, I think you're really a jealous. Well, no. All right, you go, go on ahead. See if I care. All right? I'll be back in a few minutes. Yeah, sure. Sure. Go. She talkin' to me? Well, now, a gentleman usually takes his hat off when he's talkin' to a lady. Well, yes, ma'am, I reckon I plumb-forgot my manners. What's your name? Wilson, ma'am. Chug Wilson. Oh. That's a handsome name. You a buffalo hunter? Yes, ma'am. Well, I bet you're just about the best buffalo hunter there is, too. All right, I got my share of eyes right now. Why don't you, why don't you buy me a drink, Chug? Yes, ma'am. Forky? Yes, sir. Give me another glass. My name is Lori. Lori? Mm-hmm. Here you are. Thanks. Lori, that's a pretty name. How long you been in Dodge, Chug? I just rode in. Yeah, ma'am. Thanks. Well, I'm sure glad you did ride in. Yeah? Of course I am. When I get to town, there ain't usually many women about it talking to me. Well, you've got one talking to you now. Yes, ma'am, and it's downright pleasurable. You going to stay in Dodge a while? I was only aiming to be here long enough to sell my hides, Miss Lori, but I just might stay a piece. Boy, that'd be real nice, Chug. You can buy me another drink sometime. I could buy you one tonight. I could buy you a whole table full of drinks tonight after I sell my hides. You'll be here, won't you? I mean, I mean, you ain't going nowhere. No, I'll be here. Well, that's fine, Miss Lori. That's just fine. I'll get my business too care of, but I'll be back later on. Sure. Fine, Miss Lori. Bye. Hmm. What'd that tell you? He really hasn't seen a woman in months, maybe not talked to one in years. Yeah, he sure was stumbling all over himself. I thought I'd butts out laughing. Yeah. What didn't you think it was funny? Lori, he might have took you more serious than you figured. Ah. I'll let him buy me a drink sometime. He'll forget all about it. Yeah. I just hope you ain't piling up trouble for you, sir. Oh, wrong. I'm just having fun. That's all. Just having fun. [MUSIC] It's getting kind of late, Lori. I'm about ready to close up. I'll close up for you, Kitty. I promised Roak I'd wait for him. Oh. All right. Why don't you sit down for a minute here? I think I will. I'm tired. I still wear a lot of people in here tonight. Yeah. I swear, I don't know where they all come from. Oh. Dad's just grown. Sometimes I wish it had stopped. Oh, well, Matt. Hello, Kitty. Sorry. How are you, Marshall? I'm fine, thanks. The Sam's gone, but I'll get you a beer if you want. No, no, thanks, Kitty. I was just on my way by as I might be at working home. I'd like it better if you'd carry me. My feeder. Maybe next time. Oh. You don't mind closing up, Lori? Of course not. I told Sam I'd put the glasses away anyhow. Good night. Good night. Good night, Marshall. Good night, Marshall. Hi, Lori. Hello, Ro. Oh. Oh, I thought you were Roque. I'm right sorry it took me so long getting back here, Miss Lori. It's quite nice to see you waiting for me, though. I'm waiting for somebody else, Chuck. You promised you'd have a drink with me. Yeah, some other time. I'm tired now. You promised? That was this afternoon. Now I'm tired and I just want to be left alone. So leave me alone, huh? Well, I don't hardly steam right. Oh, that's the way it is. I don't figure that way, Miss Lori. You and me, uh, were going to have a drink now. Now listen, I don't want to drink, and I sure don't want one with you. It was powerful nice to me this afternoon. How come you ain't there with me now? I was having fun this afternoon. Now I'm not. So get out of here. Miss Lori, I never had a woman talk to me the way you done. I told you to get out of here. I've made up my mind about you. What do you mean by that? Well, I reckon you and me, we're going to get along just fine. You and me. You get out of here. I'll break a bottle over your head. Do you hear what I said? What's wrong, Lori? You got some trouble? Everything's fine, Mr. Well, ain't you a buffalo hunter who was in here this afternoon? That's right. In Miss Lori, she said she'd have a drink. Oh, and look, she'd just fun on you today. That didn't mean nothing. It did to me. Come on, Lori, I'll take you home. You ain't had your drink yet, Miss Lori. No, and I'm not going to. Let's go. You know. Just hold it. Right where you're at. Is your drink, Miss Lori? Well, now look. You don't even want. Yes, we don't want Mr. Roke. Take your drink, Miss Lori. Well, I told you she don't want it. You knocked that glass out of my hand. Yeah, and I'm going to do a lot more if you don't leave her alone. Oh, my gosh, who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Don't get me. Look, I have a drink with all of us. I have a drink. All right, Miss Lori. All right, Miss Lori. You all right, Roke? You're at bed. You stay away from her. You hear, Mr. Roke? Now on, you stay away. You don't own her, and you better know her. I'll tell you something. Miss Lori, she belongs to me. I've been thinking on a real hard, and I've made up my mind. Oh, for heaven's sake. Are you tired, Delmonico's cooking? He's just getting better all the time. That was a good steak. Better. It tasted like shoe leather. What? You hurt me shoe leather. Mr. Don't, was that a good steak or not? Well, I don't know, Chester. I didn't have one. If you think it was a bad dark one, turn this and you eat here. Where else am I going to eat? Well, do your own cook. Oh, yes. Oh, I'd do that, yes. Oh, I'd sure do that. Only I'm not blessed with as much leisure time as some people I know. Leisure time. Why, you ain't done a lick of work all morning. You just been stepping over there in front of the Dodge house, walking, folding. Oh, Chester. Why don't you shut up, Delmonico? Well, he's tired, Mr. Don't. Marshal, I've seen you in here. I got talked to you. How is the trouble, Roy? Well, that's Chuck Wilson. Who's Chuck Wilson? He's a buffer hunter coming to Dodge yesterday. Well, last night, he most took me to death. Are you look all right to me? Well, that's just good. Lori begged him out of it. Lori? Yeah. Now, he thinks he owns her, just 'cause she... Well, she shined up to him, but that ain't the half of it. Oh, what else? Well, this afternoon, just a little while back, I went looking for Lori, and I couldn't find her, so I went to her boarding house. I knocked her on the door. Now, who should open it, but that Chuck Wilson? Well, maybe Lori invited him. No, she didn't. She wouldn't do that. And besides, I seen her sitting right there in a chair, and she was all scared looking. Well, I don't know, 'cause before I could do anything, he only picked me up. He threw me clean down the stairs, like the broke-ever bone in my body. Marshall, I want you to do something, Marshall. Throw him in jail. I'm not gonna throw a man in jail unless he breaks a law or hurt somebody. You don't look hurt to me. You're gonna do nothing? I'll find Chuck Wilson and hear his side of it. Well, if you ain't some Marshall... I haven't got time to nurse, made every drifter that comes to Dodge, and looks cow-eyed at one of us alone. All right, and you'd just better start building a pine box, big enough to hold Chuck Wilson, Marshall, 'cause I'm gonna get him. I'm gonna fix him good. It's done. He's maddin' up to shoot somebody. Yeah. Come on, sister. We better find out what this is all about. Yes, sir. Say you later, Doug. Yes, all right. It's long, Doug. Maybe Chuck Wilson's still boardin', huh, Mr. Dunn? Yeah, maybe. Marshall? Marshall? Please, Marshall, you gotta help me. Oh, what is it, Lori? What's the matter? That buffalo, Hunter, Chuck Wilson. He just walked into my room, grabbed me and told me I had to go with him. Then Roke comes to the door, and Chuck threw him down the stairs. Yeah, Roke told me. Oh, scared. I ran out when he was fightin' with Roke. I went to your office, but you weren't there, so I hid in the alley. What started all this, Lori? Oh, a joke, Marshall. Does a crazy joke. What kind of a joke? Oh, yesterday, when Chuck come to town, Roke and I were talkin' and I thought it'd be funny if I kind of made up to Chuck. You know, it teased him a little. Oh. That kind of a joke isn't very funny, Lori. Well, how was I to know he was gonna take it there? You're full with a man's feelings you're gonna get in trouble. Marshall, please, you gotta keep him away from me. He's gonna do somethin' crazy. I just know it. Lori! There he is. He's come for me. You just take it easy. If you don't want to go with him, you don't have to. I'll come. You run out of me, Lori. You shouldn't. Who are you? And the Marshall here, Chuck. You trying to get Lori away from me, Marshall? I'm not trying to do anything, but Lori doesn't want you. That ain't you. Why don't you ask her? There's no need. Yesterday in the saloon, she told me she was mighty glad I come to town. Right then she told me. I was only having some fun yesterday. It said rope, Judson. He's tryin' to tell you again me. Chuck, you just can't grab a woman and run off with her because she told you she's glad you came to town. Why not? Because I'm tellin' you right now, you stay away from Lori. Don't you go nearer or any more? I don't care. Why? Don't you go nearer or any more? Lori's mine, Marshall. She's been mine since I first seen her yesterday. And ain't nobody gonna take her away from me. Not you. Not nobody. [MUSIC] Morning, Chester. Morning, Mr. John. You want some coffee? Yeah. A little wake me up. You know, I've been worrying about Chuck Wilson and Lori all night long. Do you suppose he'll leave alone like you told him to? Oh, I don't know, Chester. I feel kind of sorry for him, don't I? I mean, the way she was teasing him at all. She's payin' for it now. Well, yes, sir, but so is Chuck. I still get over it. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, Chester, what did you make this coffee with, axle grease? Why, it just seems I always make it. Only this time I put in a little more chicken. Oh, next time, try washin' out the pot, huh? Washin' out the pot. Well, now, if you ain't careful, you can wash the flavor clean out of the pot by doin' that-- Well, oh, Ma. Chester, where's that? Oh, Ma. What's the matter, Ma? Well, maybe there ain't nothing. But it just seems kind of funny, that's all. Oh, what's wrong? About an hour ago, this big buffalo hunter come into my stable. Chuck, something or other I never did here's last name. He won the horse and rigs, so I rented 'em one. And then him and this girl live out. Girl? Yeah, you know that saloon girl, Lori. And I got that thinking afterwards. That Lori, she looked awful scared. Don't he's done it, he's kidnapped her. Come on, Chester. ♪♪ All right, Lisa, Buggy Trail's easy to farm with, don't ya? Doesn't look like they're movin' very fast. I wonder how come Chuck got doin' a thing like that? Well, he's a stubborn man, Chester. Well, I don't know, but it sure does seem crazy. I guess when Chuck makes up his mind, nothing's gonna change. Mr. Don. Look. There's somebody hangin' from that tree on it. Now, let's go. ♪♪ Hey, give me a hand, Chester. ♪♪ You Mr. Don. Yeah. Roke Judson. Easy enough. ♪♪ His neck's broke. Yeah, that didn't happen long ago. No, sir. Mr. Don. He's supposed to chug Wilson down this. It looks that way. ♪♪ Well, up, Chester. That's it, ain't it? That's my scrimmage buggy down there, but the creek. I don't see Lori no worse, no? No, but there's Chuck walkin' around. Yes, sir. Shoot, come on. ♪♪ ♪♪ Chad? Uh. Hello, Marzul. I was just looking at our ranch. ♪♪ You know what? Our ranch. I bought this piece of land this morning for Lori and me. Here is a pretty bottom land, ain't it? Where is she, Chuck? Uh, Lori, where is she? Over there in the buggy. Chester, go on, see. Where is she? I was gonna assure the land. Now there ain't no use. Mr. Miller? She's dead, Mr. Miller. She's been shot. Yeah. Lori and me, we were gonna go to Hayes City and get married. She pretended she didn't want to at all, but I know different. Chuck was gonna assure the land first off, so she knows she had something good to come. Chuck, what happened? Roke Judson. He was waiting for Lori and me out on the road. Waiting for you? He shot at me, but he hit Lori. So I took his gun away and hung him from a tree. Yeah, we found him. Why'd he do that? Why'd he shoot at us? I'd never done him, no, huh? He'd throw him down some stairs. He took his woman. She was my woman. Roke doesn't think so. We just didn't know that's all. No, I guess he didn't. You gonna put me in jail, Marshall? I have to, Chuck. Would you do me one thing first? What's that? A brung Lori out here so she could be on our ranch. Will you let me bury her here? All right, Chuck. I'll let you bury her. I think she'd like that. I'm gonna be peaceful and all. Yeah. Right, much on words. You know, son, you can say far, Marshall. Don't need to be much. Sometimes a little can be too much. What do you mean by that? Something I guess you don't understand, Chuck. Lori didn't understand it either. [Music] Cotton smoke.
