Gunsmoke.Brought to you by Chesterfield.To put a smile in your smoking, always by Chesterfield.Made the modern way, with Accuray.
Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S.Marshal and the smell of Gunsmoke. Gunsmoke starring William Conrad.
The 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 Marshal.The first man they look for and the last they want to meet.It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
Is there something wrong, Chester?Oh, there's gonna be a fight.Up there by the stage office.You better come, Mr. Dillon.Why, what's the trouble? They're around back of the stage.You can't see them from here.Oh, who is it?A couple passengers.
One's a great big man with red hair, about the biggest man I ever seen.
I don't know, but he's kind of old and real thin and poor-looking, like he'd been rode half to death.Oh, that red-headed fellow will ruin him, Mr. Gunn.
The size of a man doesn't matter much to a six-gun, Chester.
They ain't armed.Neither one of them's carrying no gun.
Then they won't get into much trouble.
Wait till you see him.That big one.He's got hands like shovels, Mr. Dillon.
Oh, look how he's slapping that poor little fella.If he really hit him, he'd kill him.
All right, no back, everybody.All right, hold it, mister.That's enough. What are you saying that's enough?It ain't by far enough.
This man isn't even fighting you.
I'm trying to make him fight, ain't I?
Because we come in on that stagecoach together.And he sat there the whole eight hours and stared at the floor.He never said a word.Like that drove me crazy.
I think it did drive you crazy. He isn't gonna hurt you anymore, mister.But you better get out of here.
I don't care what he does.You fight him, mister.
You'll break him up a little.I'll watch.Nobody's gonna touch him.Are you scared of this old crow?I said leave him alone.You said it.
You're talking to Sam Keeler, mister.I'm a bearcat.People do what I say.
You're talking to a United States marshal.
How come you're not wearing a gun, Keeler?
And you're big enough to whip most any man alive, aren't you?I sure am.But you go unarmed so nobody can use his gun against you.He'd be held up for murder if he did, wouldn't he?Hell, you figured yourself a nice big advantage, Keeler.
But you're a coward. What?You're a coward!And I'd still be a fool to go up against you barehanded.You don't dare use that gun.You said so yourself.There are lots of ways to use a gun, Keeler.
Marshal, I'm going to knock your head into a peak.And then I'm going to knock the peak off.Right now. Oh, he dropped like a poleaxe.You killed a man because of me.
I haven't killed him.But he's going to be kind of touchy when he comes to, and you better get out of sight.
Men are always fighting, hating each other.
My name is Seth Tandy, Marshal.
Oh, Tandy, if you don't like men fighting, Dodge is no town for you.Chester.
Throw some water on Keeler, and if he wants more fight, tell him I'll be in my office.
Stop!Start smoking with a smile with Chesterfield.
Yes, put a smile in your smoking.It's as easy as ABC because Chesterfield's made with Accuray are A, always milder, B, better tasting, C, cooler smoking.Yes, a Chesterfield is always milder.
Accuray controls your Chesterfield in the making. gives it a more even distribution of fine tobaccos that burn more evenly, smoke much milder.
A Chesterfield is better tasting.
An Accurate Chesterfield draws more easily, lets you enjoy all the flavor.
And the Chesterfield is cooler smoking.
Fourteen percent more perfectly packed. than cigarettes made without Accuray.You enjoy cooler smoking.No hot spots.No hard draw.
So always buy Chesterfield.
Put a smile in your smoke and just give them a try.Light up a Chesterfield.They satisfy.
Uh, Keeler come to all right, Mr. Dillon.You didn't hurt him so very bad.
And I haven't been worrying about it, trust him.
It's been two hours.It's after dark.He couldn't have been unconscious all this time.
No, sir.He wasn't.See, I stopped off to the town soil.I got me my winter haircut.Oh, you should have seen Keeler when he come to.My goodness, he is mad.He wasn't getting buffled so much as everybody laughing at him.
Seemed like he just can't stand that.He looked like he was about to go wild.
Well, there'll be more trouble from him.
Yes, sir. It's like this friend of his that showed up after the fight, a fella called Humbert.He just couldn't believe it when he seen Keeler layin' there.This Humbert, he said somebody would get killed for it, sure.
Uh-huh.Uh, Chester, I'm gonna go down to the log branch and have a drink.
Oh, I'll walk partway with you.
Okay.What happened to that Seth Tandy?
I don't know.He left. But there's something wrong with him, Mr. Dillon.Did you notice the funny look on him?Why, he's got eyes like a blind horse.
What kind of man is he?All I know is he's the kind that lets himself get knocked around and doesn't seem to care one way or the other.Yeah, you want a drink?
No, sir, I thank you.I got business.But you tell Miss Kitty hello, huh?
Hey, Kitty.Is this glass yours?
One of the girls brought it over, but she's busy now.That beer pitch is hers, too.
I'll leave some money with you, and you can give it to her.
All right.They say the Santa Fe's gonna start laying track west of here soon.
Yeah.More railroad, more people, more trouble. I'm sorry, Kitty.I'm in a poor mood.
Yeah?And do what?I'm too lazy to work for a living.
I suppose keeping the peace around here isn't work.And then there's getting shot.
It's been a long time since anybody put a bullet in me, Kitty.
Just cause you're learning to duck.
You know, up in Canada they got a bird called a loon. And they claim that these loons really can duck a bullet.
Why don't you go up there and study them a while, see how they do it?
Yeah, might be a good idea.
Mr. Dillon?Oh, hello, Miss Kitty.What's the trouble, Chester?That fella Tandy, Seth Tandy.What about him?Well, some fellas seen him stumble out of the alley just now.They took him up to Doc's.What?He was all beat up.
Oh, somebody had really worked on him.Who?I don't know.Nobody seen it happen.
All right, let's get up to Doc's, Chester.We'll see you later, Kitty.
Come in.Come in.Oh, hello, Matt.Hi, Chester.Hello, Doc.
Well, there's nothing broken that I can find, but he's sure colored up. He's sitting in the back room there if you want to see him.
He hasn't said a word about anything so far.Maybe you can get him to talk.
Let's stand back just a little.OK, Doc.
How do you feel, Tandy?Tandy, I want to know who did this. I'm sure it was Sam Keeler, but I want to hear it from you.No, Marshal.There's been enough violence.The next time he might kill you, Tanny.It doesn't matter.What?It's not important.
Not no more.What's your trouble, Tanny?Maybe I can help you.
Nobody can help me, Marshal.When a man loses faith in his God, he loses everything.I've lost my faith. I no longer believe.
I, uh... You're a preacher?I was a preacher.Thirty years.Now what'd you come to Dodge for?
Oh, no reason, except get away from people that knew me before.I didn't want them to see me.Maybe start them doubting, too.I've got nothing left, Marshal.It doesn't matter what happens to me now.
I heard him.Well, tell him something.I don't know what to tell him.He's a preacher.He doesn't believe in God anymore.Oh, man, I'm an ignorant frontier doctor.Sure, I can dig bullets out of people.I can sew them up, too.
I can shove their bones back into place.But nobody ever taught me how to patch up a preacher who's lost his religion.
Don't trouble yourselves about me, gentlemen.I'll be moving on.
now not tonight you won't now you can do what you want to mara but tonight either you were sam keeler's gonna sleep in jail jim and i'm not gonna let killer catchy again tonight and if you won't say it was him i can arrest him well did he do it marshall i'll sleep in your g
Maybe Seth Tandy didn't care what happened to himself, but he sure went out of his way to keep other people from having any trouble.If I'd have put Sam Keeler in jail that night, that'd have been quite a battle.And Tandy knew it.
So we took him downstairs.And after we found him something to eat, we gave him a blanket and locked him in a cell where he'd be safe.Chester slept in the office with a shotgun by his bed.
And after looking the town over for a couple of hours, I went to my room. It was just after daylight when I was awakened.
Mr. Dillon!Wake up, Mr. Dillon!
Oh, Chester, stop the racket and come on in.The door's unlocked.What time is it, Chester?What are you doing here?
It's that man.He's gone, Mr. Dillon. What?Yesterday I went out to get us some breakfast, and he didn't feel like going, so I unlocked his cell and left him sitting there in the office, and when I got back, he was gone.
Here, I found this note stuck on the door.
Marshall, if you want to see Seth Tandy alive, come to Turkey Bend at noon.Alone and unarmed.
No, it doesn't have to be.
Yeah.What are you gonna do?Do what it says, I guess.
But you can't go up there alone, not wearing no gun, Mr. Dillon.He'll kill you.That Sam Keeler could kill anybody.
And if I don't, what'll happen to Tandy?
He don't care what happens to him.He said so himself.You'd be risking your life for a man who don't even care about living.
Chester, go to the stable and get my horse while I'm dressing, will you?
And take the rifle boot off my saddle.I won't be needing it this time.
Stop!Start smoking with a smile with Chesterfield.
Yes, put a smile in your smoking.It's as easy as ABC, because Chesterfields made with Accuray are A, always milder, B, better tasting, C, cooler smoking.Yes, a Chesterfield is always milder.
Accuray controls your Chesterfield in the making. gives it a more even distribution of fine tobaccos that burn more evenly, smoke much milder.
A Chesterfield is better tasting.
An Accuray Chesterfield draws more easily, lets you enjoy all the flavor.
And the Chesterfield is cooler smoking.
Fourteen percent more perfectly packed than cigarettes made without Accuray.You enjoy cooler smoking, no hot spots. No hard draw.
So always buy Chesterfield.
Put a smile in your smoke and just give them a try.Light up a Chesterfield.They satisfy.
Maybe Chester was right, maybe it didn't make sense.But still, I had to do it.It was about 20 miles upriver to Turkey Bend, and I got there about noon.I waited around for a while, then Keeler's friend Humbert rode up.He was unarmed, too.
He didn't say anything.He just looked me over carefully before he motioned me to ride upstream ahead of him.About a half hour later, we reached their camp,
Keeler was there and Seth Tandy, sittin' on a small pile of cottonwood logs, starin' blankly at the fire.We got on and went up to him.
He was there at noon, Keeler, real prompt.Marshall does things right, don't you, Marshall?Yeah, sometimes.Well, you done this right, you come alone and you ain't armed.You done your part, And I done mine, there's your friend Tandy.
And he's still alive.What do you want, Kevin?I'll tell you, Marshal.You... You had everybody laughing at me back in Dodge.I don't like that.
I can't stand people laughing at me.What's that got to do with Seth Tandy?
Started over him, and it's gonna finish over him. What do you mean?I'm going to beat him to death, Marshal.And you're going to stand there and watch me do it.Now, wait a minute, Keeler.
And when there's nothing left of him, I'm going to go to work on you.No.You shut up, Tandy.I don't care what happens to me, but the Marshal came risking his life.He did for sure, Tandy.
Wait a minute, Keeler. Now, what do you want, Humbert?You told me you were going to have a little fun.You didn't say nothing about killing people.Why?I don't like this.I don't want no part of it.What's the matter with you, Humbert?
I don't hold with killing people.I don't want to end up on a rope.You don't like it, huh?Now, don't you start nothing with me.Now, you leave me alone.
I'll learn you to go against me.No!You are learning.
Get out of my way, Teddy.I want one of those logs.Killer!
Killer!Killer!I'll get you.
You brained him, Marshal.You just saved my life on that log.
Yeah.Your life and Tandy's and probably mine.
I got a gun over here in my blanket, Marshal.I'll give it to you before it comes to.Okay.
Yeah, what, Tandy?You came here knowing you might be killed.Well, there's always a chance of that.
But you came. willing to sacrifice your life to save mine, and knowing mine's worthless.
You listen to me.No man's life is worthless, Tandy, whether he thinks so or not.
Well, you riding on from here?
Oh, no, no, Marshal.I'm going back. My foot standeth in an even place.In the congregations will I praise the Lord.
In a moment, our star, William Conrad.Put a smile in your smoking.It's as easy as A, B, C. Because Chesterfield's made with Accuray are A, always milder.
Smoke much milder.Burn evenly.B, better tasting.Draw more easily.You enjoy more flavor.C, cooler smoking.14% more perfectly packed than cigarettes made without Accuray.No hot spots.No hard draw.
