O'Reilly Auto Parts. Gun Smoke. Brought to you by L&M Filters. This is it. L&M is Best. It stands out from all the rest. In the Round Dark City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers. And that's where the U.S. Marshall and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke starring William Conrad, a transcribed 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 looked for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. [Music] I'm bringing him over here, Glick. We're ready for you, Digger. Start walking. I'm very lucky to find you, so nearly Scotland would grow. I don't know what we'd have done otherwise. Oh, you would have thought of something Glick. It's like what? Well, you need a bow shooting the man in the back, are you? You can make me mad talking like that, Digger. That worries me a lot. You, Shatter. Oh, hurry up, Glick, let's get this over with. We've been waiting on you, Pete. Now, what's Roble looking so long faced about? It's what I told you before. It's ain't right. You're telling me it ain't right to hang a horse thief? It ain't right to hang nobody the way you're doing it. I don't hold with the lynching. Hanging a horse thief ain't lynching. You can't even prove he's a thief. And what was he doing with our horses? I always can't. I didn't know nothing about your horses. I suppose they wanted up to you in the night. I don't know how they got there. Yeah, we do. That ain't so good. We don't know nothing of the kind. I've lost horses the same as you and Pete, and I don't like it any better than you do. But just because this man was camped down here a few out of yours is no proof he was stealing him. Our wasting time listening to you, Roble. If you don't like what we're doing, why don't you get out? All right. I'm going to get out. Now, you keep your mouth shut about this, too. You wouldn't dare say nothing, Glick. You better not. That noose looks kind of empty danged in there, Pete. Put his neck in it. You mister nothing but murderers. That's no way to go to your maker, calling people names. Now, get on your horse. Go on. What are you going to do? Hold the rope. Horse not. I'm going to tie it off to the trunk of the tree, and we'll slap that horse out from under you. Get mounted now. How can I get mounted with my hand's tie? Oh, I'll help you. Come on, Pete. There. I'll take up the slack and tie that rope, Pete. I'll get her. Huh? Well, you might have the decency to wait and put a bullet in me. Bullet's cost seven cents a piece, Digger. You're worse than I thought. That rope tight enough? You figured. This it'll do. All set there. Ain't afraid. Wouldn't matter if you were, would it? Your heart, Pete. Get mounted. Okay. All right. I'll hit his horse and then let's ride off, huh? I got no stomach to watch him, man, ain't it? Jack, carry John, click, get it over with. I'm cutting you down, Digger. Now you can breathe. It wasn't long. It hardly passed out. Yeah. Yeah. You're good. Let me get your hands on you. Roll, roll, roll, roll. Come back. I can, Digger. Feel okay? You was waiting. I circled back into them trees. I couldn't fight them, not the two of them. And I sure didn't aim to let them hang. I don't know how to thank a man for saving me. There's no need to. It's the truth, Ruben. It's John's truth, I ain't a horse, Steve. I never thought you was, Digger. Look, we ain't but ten miles from God. I'd be proud to buy a drink. Come on, right on the way. I got something mighty interesting to tell you on the way. This is it, L&M filters. It stands out from all the rest. Miracle tears, much more flavor. L&M's got everything. It's the best. L&M is best.

[music] Hey, Marshall Dillon. Show it up yet, Chester. He went in office a minute, Robles. He said for you to sit down and be right out. [music] You tell him about Joe Digger? I told him about the lynching and how you cut him down. That all? I started to tell him the rest, but he was in a hurry. He said he'd hear it from you. It's bad, ain't it? Well, you're doing everything you can about it. No. I hate informing on people. Murdered worse. There he is. Evening, Robles. Oh, Marshall. Chester told me about what happens. That was a fine thing in it, Robles. I don't hold with the lynching, Marshall. No. And I don't hold with murder either. What do you mean? He's gonna kill him, and he says he don't care how he does it. That's Joe Digger, you mean? That's what he said, Marshall. And he meant it, too. Well, you sure can't blame him much after what they've done to him? Where is he, Robles? I left him over at the long branch, Marshall. I don't want to come pouring him out here. But he's a tall fella. No beard. He was a black studson. Ah. I'll find him. Come on, Chester. Yes, sir. How are you? Blick and paid in town, Robles. I ain't see him, and I sure don't want to. No. You better keep out of sight for a while. I aim to, Marshall. [Music] Well, I don't see nobody in here like you described Mr. Villan. Oh, there's Kitty, so I'll ask her. Maybe he's already left now. Welcome to Blick and Hank Pete. Now that we'll have to ride out after it. And I hope he ain't left. Hello, Matt. Chester. Hello, Kitty. Brown, tell me what you're looking for. How do you know we're looking for somebody? I saw you came in. Oh, Kitty. Do you ever hear of Joe Digger? Not till the night, Matt. Are you been talking to him? Bill Roble brought him in. He went next door for some tobacco. He'll be back directly. Oh, good. I take it, you know what happened. Yeah. And what are you doing here? Why aren't you out after Blick and Hank Pete? Oh, one thing at a time, Kitty. Well, if you don't believe it about Joe Digger now, you're well when you see him. He's got a mark along his neck like a black snake. That's a horrible thing, Matt. The lynch a man. Yeah, that's about the worst thing I know. What about those two men? I mean, since they really didn't hang him. Now they came close enough for me. Oh, there he is. Just came in. He's headed for the bar. You see? Oh, yeah. How do you say you're trusted? Yes, sir. You, Joe Digger? That's me. Here you run into some trouble today. I've seen you talking to Miss Kitty. Yeah, I came in looking for you. Before? I'm a marshal. Oh, now somebody tries to lynch a man. I want to know about it. It's all over marshals. They didn't kill nobody. You'd like for me to forget about it? Got it? Nothing happened. I'm alive, ain't I? You take it pretty easy, Digger. An ordinary man might be kind of mad. Oh, they made a mistake, marshal. They thought they was doing right. Oh, little rope burning gonna hurt me. You're wasting your time lying to me, Digger. What? I came here to tell you to leave blick and pay to me. Which one are you going after first, marshal? So you can get the other one? They don't deserve a trial. They're gonna get one. And so will you if you kill it and one of them. I've been lucky so far. Look, Digger, I know how you feel about this, but stay out of it. From now on, this is my business. You're denying me what's mine. That kind of thing is gonna lead you to the end of another rope. That's not worth it. But to me, maybe it is. Don't be a fool. Now you think about it. Okay. Oh, think about it. It's midnight now. Now think about it 'til tomorrow night. But by then you better have me in cable motion. Sure. Them are you. Oh, I bet them blicks didn't even hold Mr. Jones. Oh, there's smoke coming out of the chimney, Joseph. Yeah, dinner. That's not very likely Miss Glick's gonna feed the water today. Yeah, I'm gonna fold it up. Oh, let's leave him here. Hey, that horse here has got a loose shoe, ain't Mr. Jones? Yeah, I'm gonna have to fix it before we start back to dodge. I'm gonna divide and blick 'til men's of the two. Oh, you won't have much choice. Hello, Glick. I'm Marshall Dillon. Chester. What you doing here? Aren't you gonna ask us inside? George, come on in. The woman's done with dinner, but I'll tell her to find something for you. Don't bother. I, uh, want to talk to you, eh? What about you and Hank Pate? Me and Pate? Yeah, we'll go pick him up when we leave here. What do you mean? I'm taking you both to jail. Oh, wait a minute. No, I have to explain it to you. Well, it might help you walk into a man's house and arrest him. You ought to know what it's about. Didn't you and Pate murder a man yesterday? What, man? Joe Digger. I never heard of Joe Digger. And you shouldn't go around litching strangers. Huh. Well, that's what this is about. Oh, I seen that, feller, Marshall. I was riding by there yesterday, and I seen him hanging. I don't know who did it. It sure wasn't me and Pate. Digger says it was. What? He says you and Pate lynched him. Oh. Robl, Robl told you now Robl cut him down. Digger's alive. Uh-oh, what do you have to rush for? Attempted murder. You've got at least 20 years, Glick, but it'll save your life. What do you mean? Bigger's after you. And he's going to kill you if he gets a chance. I beat him here, and now I want to get to Pate's before he does. Oh, Pate's in Dodge today. We better get moving. You're a prisoner, Glick. Good thing we got here before he put on his gun. Yeah, keep an eye on him, Chester. I'm going to take my horse around to the barn and fix that shoe, then we'll leave. Aren't you? Are you distant easily? All right, fella, you come with me. We'll fix that shoe for you. What happened, Chester? Where's Glick? Well, he ran out back towards the barn. Well, he better stop him before he gets on a horse. Come on, mister. Now, you've been hit, Chester. Well, he got me in the arm. His wife, Howard Johnson, kitchen, and he went to the door and she slipped him a gun. He snapped off a shot at me and ran out back. And she stood in the door so that I couldn't shoot. How's your arm? Oh, it's just tore up a little. Yeah. She must have stood out there in the kitchen and heard everything that was said. I never thought about her aiming to help. Wait a minute. Right, the barn door is open. But we're going to walk right up there? No. Now we can't do that. We'll wait here. You got on behind that rain barrel. Oh, my gosh. I got my shoes, sir. I hope they in the back door to that barn. Now, he's seen us. Don't try to stop him or shoot. Yes, now you'll start on, Glick. Stop, Glick. Stop, my friend. You got him? Yeah. You hit him right in the head and you know it? I ducked down. I was shooting for his middle. How come he rode straight for you? Why didn't he go the other way? I only knew our horses were out front. He wanted to get to him before we did. There's one man that won't go to jail. He's wife. He's dead, man. No. I'm sorry I had to do it. Yes. Oh, Ms. Glick. Oh, ma'am, it is. It is. It is. Come on, Joseph. She's killing me. I can't go off. Neither like this. And I'm going to take a grave for him. And we'll just have to leave her. Our Hank Pays won't go to jail either. [MUSIC PLAYING] I've got L&M. I've got L&M. I've got L&M. And L&M's got everything. Best filter. No filter compares with L&M's pure white miracle tip for quality or effectiveness. Best flavor. The miracle tip draws easy. Let's you enjoy all the taste. Best of bacos. Highest quality tobaccos. Lonic a teen tobaccos. L&M tobaccos. Light and mild. Today by L&M. It's sweeping the country because it's America's best filter tip cigarette. Yes, today, why don't you get L&M? Because L&M's got everything. This is it. L&M's. L&M's. L&M's got everything. It's the best. [MUSIC PLAYING] Ah, hello, Doc. Anyway, I'll finish, man. Yeah, Doc says a couple of weeks, and I can start using it again, Mr. Dillon. Ah, good, Chester. Providing you keep it in that sling, Chester. Oh, I will, Doc. I'll be real careful. This is all right, Doc. Ooh, looks clean, man, but I'll change the dressing every day for a while so as I can watch it. You get the horses put on Mr. Dillon? Yeah, I took care of him. And we better start looking for Hank Pake. That's near midnight, Chester. You better go to bed. I'll find him. No, sir. I'm going with you. I know I ain't much help, but I can look one place while you're looking another. Oh, that's up to you. Up to him? I've heard of cases where this sort of thing was up to the doctor. Not the patient. Why? No patient, Doc. Oh, you? Well, maybe he'll begin to see a more like one when I give you my bill. You're going to charge me for pouring that smelly old stuff on my arm, then wrapping it up with a couple of rags. Your bill's just got up $1. Oh, Doc, I didn't mean that way. That way, honest. But if you're going to be trying-- You better shut up and come with me, Chester. It'll be cheaper. I'm coming, Mr. Dillon. Sure I am. We'll see you later, Doc. Yeah, is there going to be a shooting there? Well, I don't know, Doc. Tell you what, you better not go to bed for a while yet, huh? I have these. And, Chester, that isn't your arm even hurt. Well, sure it does. That helps keep me awake. You know, I don't think it hurts at all. You'd be yelling your head off. Well, it does hurt, too. Terrible. You just don't realize how brave I am. And I'm trying to get you to go to bed, Chester. I know you are. Probably look first. Yeah, the aller for Gansa's closest. I guess anything that already happened, Doc, would have heard of it, wouldn't he? Yeah. Maybe if we run into Joe Digger's first, you ought to walk him up. Temporary, I like. Yeah, I aim to it. Of course, Pete, my left town already gone home. They told me his horse is still in the stable, Chester. I guess he's not planning to go home tonight. You'll be disappointed if he is. Hey, that was an aller for Gansa, Mr. Dillon. Yeah. Look there. There's Joe Digger, Mr. Dillon. Joe Digger, Mr. Dillon, he just come out. Yeah, you'll stay here, Chester. Yes, sir. Digger. You were too late, Marshall. Did you do that, shooting? I waited. I told you I would. You waited for what? To kill Hank, Pete. It's after midnight, five minutes or so. I figured he wasn't going to do nothing about him. But you'll think it wrong. Well, both those your shots? Sure, they were. I didn't even wait for him to drool. Men like that don't deserve a chance. You should have left a lot aside about that, Digger. I never arrested him. He'd have gone to jail. And why hadn't you done it? I was busy. Busy doing what? Trying to take Glick. Trying? Where is he? He's dead. I guess I'd beat you to him. Well, he didn't beat me to Hank, Pete, Marshall. And it's for your sake I wish I had. Digger, you're under arrest for murder. No. That ain't fair. I warned you. No. Did he try to draw on you, Mr. Don? I couldn't see him. Hey, I tried, Justice. Maybe I should have let him. But then you'd have had to shoot him. Hey, I know. But this way, like I told him. I'd probably just saved him for the end of another rope.
