Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com switch upfront payment

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 the U.S. marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke. Starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America. The story of a man who moved with it. Matt Dillon, United States Marsh. Hey, boss. Yeah? There's no moon tonight. What of it? It's spooky when there's no moon. You afraid of something, Marlo? On me. You? What are you afraid of? Of course, I ain't been much afraid of anything since the second battle of Bull Run. That so? Oh, I took my first bullet at Manassas Gap. I thought sure I'd die, but I didn't. That's nothing. When I got shot on the Chattahoochee river over in Georgia, I knew I wouldn't die. How'd you know? I just knew, that's all. Weren't you afraid? Afraid of what? Dying. I never been afraid to die. Well, I'm not afraid. Not anymore. Not since Bull Run. And what's all this about there being no moon, Orlo? I said I'm not afraid to die. I didn't say I'm not afraid of anything. Oh, shut up. Okay. Hey, Gorse. Yeah? Wished we could stop and light a fire. What? I got some pork to cook. Listen here, Arlo. You trying to tie the rope around your own neck? No. And eat your meat raw, you hear? Raw meat gives me the bellyache. You needn't worry about that all, though. Those people back in Dodge, they got a cure for bellyache. They have you. They have a lariat rope over the limb of a cottonwood tree. Aw, they ain't going to catch us. They will. Or you go building bonfires all over the prairie to cook your dang pork with. Well, I'll just build a little bitty Indian fire, Gor. Oh, shut up, Arlo. Look over there. Where? Over there, at the foot of that little ride. I don't see nothing. That cabin you do, too. See? Oh, that. What about it? There's no light in it, you fool. And there's no smoke. It's deserted. Well, that's good, ain't it, Gorse? Nobody to tell the posse which way we went. How do you know they got a posse? Well, they should have, anyways. We'll sleep in that cabin. Somebody does come along, we can fight them off from there. Come on. Come on. Come on. It's big, ain't it? Of course. Big enough for us, anyway. Come on. Maybe there's some food inside. Hey, wait. There's a horse in here. Must have got in and the door blew shut. Poor thinks. Well, get him out. Yeah. Easy, boy. Easy now, sir. Easy, boy. I got him now. Outside, fella. Outside. Come on. Yeah, that's funny. What's funny? That horse. He's all wet with lather. Lather? Hold it right there. There's somebody in. Now, get your hands up. You're framed in the door and you'll die if you make a wrong move. Now, turn around and stand there, and I'll take your guns. Who are you, mister? All right, get outside. Slow. All right, that's far enough. Now you can turn around. All right, you, what's your name? Orlo. Orlo what? Just Orlo. And you? William Goss. But I don't use the William. I'll remember that. Look, mister, we don't mean no harm. We just thought your cabin was deserted and we could sleep in that night. It's deserted. But you won't be sleeping anywhere tonight. Now, mister, you got no right. You'll sleep in Dodge when we get there. Oh, no. No, we can't go back to Dodge. No. Why can't you? Well, you see, we shot a man that day. This morning it was. Oh, you shut up. But, Gorse, you know we can't go back. I'll shut you up. Hold it, Gorse. Well, he always did talk too much. The war made him like that, mister. He was all right before the war. So they say, anyway. Now listen to me, both of you. This isn't my cabin. It isn't? Then why'd you put us out of it? I'm trying to tell you why. I'm a United States Marshal. What? Oh, Gorse, we got caught. You're both under arrest for murder. Well, I'll be so that's why his horse was hot. He been chasing us. Gorse. How could he been chasing us? He was in front of us. I've been on your tail ever since you ran out of Dodge. The trail you were following led right here. So I made a circle and waited for you. Does that explain Things. Hey, that's pretty smart, isn't it, Gorth? We was riding too slow. Yeah, but if I'd known what I was falling, I think I'd have just ridden up behind and yelled at you to stop. We'd have run. Now, explain something to me, will you? What are you men? We're just friends. Yeah, me and Gorse been friends for a long time. No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Look, you shot that store clerk in Dodgy and you killed him. But you're sure not gunmen. You're not bandits. Now, what are you? We're broke. We needed some money, but he wouldn't give it to us. He grabbed a gun instead out under the counter and he'd have shot us with a two earth and we had to kill him. That's all there is to it, Marshall. Not quite. I'm afraid. You killed a man, and I'm taking you in for murder. They gonna hang us? Not they. The law. Maybe, but you'll get a fair trial. Won't matter. We done it. We'll hang. Yeah, you're right, Goose. We'll hang. Sure. I don't know. I suppose you'd have killed somebody sooner or later. All right, get your horses. Ain't you gonna handcuff us? Enough. Why? Oh, no reason, Marshall. I was just asking. I thought so. All right, come on. It's a long ride to Dodge. It took all night to ride back to Dodge. But I didn't have to watch my prisoners any more than if they'd been a couple of riders I'd thrown in with on the trail. Maybe it was all their years in the war in the army that made them do whatever I, as a marshal, told them to do. The idea of not obeying me never occurred to him. Next morning, I had Chester lock him up. And then I went off to get some sleep. About noon, I got up, ate something and dropped into the Texas Trail. Sit down, Matt. Yeah, sure, Kitty. I hear you brought in those murderers. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Well, aren't you glad? Yeah, sure, Kitty, I'm glad. Well, they're the ones, aren't they? You got the right men. Yeah, they're the ones. They did it, Matt. Sometimes I don't know. Kitty, they're just a couple of not very bright men who've had too much war. I guess they just got used to killing. I don't think it means anything at all to them. They're not mean and they're not vicious. Just kind of loco. That's what makes them dangerous. I Guess. Marshal Dillon? Yeah. I hear you brought in two men this morning. Gorse and Orlo. Now, how do you know their names? Everybody does by now. Yeah, I suppose so. They didn't do it, Marshall. What? They're innocent. They didn't kill that clerk. Who are you, mister? My name is Blaine. George Blaine. All right, Blaine, what's this all about? What? I said, Marshall, they're innocent. You see, I and Ned and Lou over there at the bar. We saw him just leaving Kelly's stable when that shooting took place. Would you swear to that in court? Why, sure, Marshal. How come you arrested him anyway? Well, I'll tell you, Blaine. They shot a man. Nobody saw that killer. Look, I don't know who you are or what your interest in this is, but they admit killing that clerk. So why don't you just go back and join your friends at the bar and forget about it, huh? No, Marshal, we won't forget about it. You shouldn't have arrested those men. And what's more, we're going to see to it they don't stay arrested. Now, do you want to see to it right now, Mr. Blaine? No, no. There are other men around here interested in justice, Marshall, and I think we'll talk to them first. Don't do it, Blaine. Don't get anything like that started here in Dutch. See you later, Marshall. Who is he, Kitty? I don't know, Matt. He and his two friends came in on a Santa Fe from St. Louis a couple of days ago. That's all I know. I wonder what they got in mind. Oh, they've been drinking. Just talk, Matt. Yeah. Maybe I'll see you later, Kitty. So long. Hurry back, Matt. We will return for the second act of Gunsmoke in just a moment. But first, tomorrow night, CBS Radio's Escape dramatizes a romantic conflict titled El Guitarado, which means the Guitarist. It concerns a Mexican musician who resorts to traditional and some surprising methods to protect his marriage. When an American poet tries to steal his wife, remember, it's tomorrow night on Escape, presented on most of these same stations by CBS Radio, El Guiterero. Now the second act of Gun Smoke. No, sir. Mr. Dillon and that fellow come here, but I wouldn't let him talk to prisoners. Was he alone, or did he have his two friends with him? Chester? No, he wasn't alone, sir. But I did notice a couple of men waiting around outside. Now that you mention it, you haven't heard anything about this Blaine or his friends the last day or so, have you? No, nobody's mentioned them around me. Anyway. Well, it sure stumps me. You think maybe they're gonna cause trouble, Mr. Dillon? I don't know, Chester. They might try, but it'd be easier to stop if I knew what was behind it. Yes, sir. Yeah. Mobs have tried to open this jail before, but to lynch somebody, not to turn them loose. Mighty curious. All right, Chester. I'm gonna have a talk with the prisoners. Maybe they might know something. Well, it's worth a try. Yeah. Hey, Gorse, it's the marshal. Hello, Marshall. Hello, Arlo. Gorse. How are you, Marshall? Well, is Chester treating you all right? Well, wasn't much of the bait we had this morning, but the noon meal was fine. Marshall. We get supper, too. Of course you do. When they gonna hang us, Marshall? Well, Marlow, you haven't been tried yet. Nothing's gonna happen till you have a trial. How long will that take, Marshall? Well, what difference it make, Gorse? Long as we get fed every day. Listen, you man, I want to ask you something. Sure, Marshall. Have you ever heard of a man named Blaine? He's tall, has black hair. He's. Wasn't that the fellow's name who was here this morning? Yeah, that's right. Blaine here this morning. Chester said he kept him out of here. Oh, he. He come around back outside, talk through the window there. Seemed like a nice fellow. Sort of crazy, though. Now, why do you say that, Oliver? What'd he want? Oh, he kept saying he had witnesses and all like that. Said we're innocent. We shouldn't be in here. What'd you tell him? Well, we told him how you caught us and what we did know. We told him there wasn't any witnesses we could see, just us and that clerk. But we killed him. Sure. But Blaine was saying him and his friends saw us down by some corral or something. I don't know. He was all mixed up. Tell me if either one of you ever seen this Blaine before? Oh, no, Marshall. Never laid eyes on him, and that's the truth. That's right, Marshall. Me and Gorse, we never tell lies. Yeah, I know. Did Blaine tell you what he's gonna do? What his plans are? Nary word, Marshall. Except he did say for us to set up a holler, that we didn't kill that fella. Oh, he's crazy, that Blaine. I couldn't get his drift at all. Well, I'll tell you what it is, Orlo. For some reason that I don't know, Blaine wants you two out of jail. He may come here with a mob and try and get you, out. Well, he can't do that. We're under arrest here. Yeah, I know, but he might try. Hmm. What'll we do about it, Marshall? Nothing, of course, nothing. I'll handle it. Sure, Marshall. Let me know if you need anything, huh? Oh, we're fine, Marshall. Thanks just the same. Sure. Okay. I'll see you later, then. Hello, Doc. What are you doing here? I heard there might be some excitement, Matt. Now, you did, huh? Yeah, right here at the jail, too. Give Doc a gun. Just. We can use another man. Name your preference, Doc. Shotgun or rifle? You sit right where you are, Chester. I'm not a gunfighter. My work begins where you fellas leave off. Well, you may have a busy evening, Doc, but I hope not. You never can't tell, Matt, but I take things as they come. Yeah, I know. I better go and get my office cleaned up. If anyone gets shot, you send them right up there. It doesn't improve a man's temper to spend the afternoon sitting around and waiting for a mob to form. A mob that's gonna head his way when it gets its spirits high enough. Chester and I didn't talk much. We just sat and waited long. About dusk, we saw a couple of dozen men gather in the middle of the plaza. Then Blaine appeared and he began haranguing him. And the crowd grew. In a little while, it started moving down Front street, down toward the jail and us. Looks like everybody in Dodge is taking an interest, Mr. Dillon. We'll use shotguns, Chester. I never saw a mob yet that was eager to jump a shotgun. I assume. Here's yours, Mr. Dylan. Yeah, thanks. Well, let's go meet him outside, Chester. All right. Here. This is good enough. Pretty big crowd coming, Mr. Dylan. Maybe most of them are just curious. I sure am, anyway. What do you mean, sir? Well, I haven't got this, Blaine. Figured. That's all. Right. Hold it, man. Hold in, man. I'll see if I can pull talk some sense into the marshal first. The marshal? I was right. There seem to be a lot of men in Dodge interested in justice. We want Orlo and Gorse out of that jail, Marshal. We want them freed. Aren't you going to say anything, Marshall? I don't see your two partners. Blaine, whatever their names are. Don't you worry about them, Marshall. Now, you tell us, you gonna turn those prisoners loose, or do you want us to do it? Speak up, Marshall. Which way is it gonna be? All right. Now, you've all heard Blaine's story. He claims he and his friends saw Arlo and Gorse at Kelly's stable when the shooting took place. Now that's pretty good evidence that they didn't kill that clerk. And it could be true. I'm gonna go inside and I'm gonna talk to him about it. I'll give you my answer in half an hour. Is that fair enough? A half hour will just about do it, Marshall. I think it will, Blaine. But no matter what you decide, we're going to turn them loose. Isn't that right, man? Keep an eye on Blaine. Don't let him leave here if you have to shoot him to keep him around. Yes, sir. But I don't understand why. Just do as I say, Chester. What's doing, Marshall? I don't know, Gorse, but I just might find out. This dodge is a mighty strange place, wanting to turn prisoners loose. Yeah. I'll be back soon, Matt. What do you want to. You're going to break my window with those rocks? Get on here. Doc, I need you in hurry, huh? Oh, why sure. Maddie, stand out of the window here and I'll climb down on top of you. It's only a few seconds. Okay? All right. Come on, hurry. Yeah. Well, what's this all about, Matt? Where we're going? We're going to the express company first. What for? It's closed. Maybe not. It's not quite six. Everybody in Dodge is out there in the street. I was watching from my front window. Not quite everybody. Doc Blaine's two friends aren't there. Yeah, right. I'm working on a hunch, Doc. If I'm right, I want you as a witness and we'll go back and show that mob what fools they are. Whatever you say, Matt. But I haven't got a gun. Don't worry, I'll do the shooting. We reached the rear of the express company and I took a quick look through the window. The single room was deserted and the only other place would be the bank. If I was right and I was. Two horses were tied to a tree outside the back entrance, the door of which was ajar. I made Doc get around the corner of the building where he'd be safe, and I stood close to the door and waited. About five minutes. I heard him coming out. Get that mask off this stuff at the stable. Go down and join Blaine. Hurry low. We're late. Now get your hands up. This is a shotgun. Don't use it. You got us. Don't shoot. Well, you're not the fightingest man I ever saw. All right, I'll take your guns now. And don't try Anything. And yours, Doc. Well, what do you know? Blaine's partners. You sure guess right, Matt. Now, who's inside? We didn't hurt. A marshal, just tied him up. Who? I said that old man. The banker. All right, go take a look at him, Doc. Take those money bags with you, but be quick. We haven't got much time. I'll have company for you shortly, gentlemen. So you just sit quiet, huh? Lane's going to be mighty surprised at this. Come on, Doc. My gracious. I thought you was never going to come out, Mr. Dillon. Well, Marshall, are you going to be smart? You going to turn them loose? You're under arrest, Blaine. What? Marshall, don't be a fool. You aren't arresting anybody. Is he, man? Tell him who I just locked up, Doc. All right. That's right, man. Marshall just arrested Blaine's two friends. What? You make one move and I'll cut you in half, Blaine. All right, go ahead. I was right there with him. Caught him up the street, right in the bank. They're locked up inside right now. They're no friends of mine. We've been drinking together, that's all. Besides, I wasn't anywhere near that bank. I was right here. Yeah, you men saw me here. And you got nearly everybody else in town here, too, Blaine. So your partners could work unmolested. Take his gun, Chester. Yes. All right. All right. All right, you men. Now you've made fools enough of yourselves for one evening. Now you go back where you came from and stay there. Now go on. Inside, Blaine. Your friends are waiting for you. I never did find out just who Blaine was. He kept his mouth shut all through the trial. It could be that he'd never been arrested before. But anyway, he and his partners got five years. That's better than Arlo and Gorse made up. They stood up and told their whole story as straight as I'd told it myself. I guess telling the truth was about the only sense of right and wrong that the war had left them. They weren't bad men, but they were dangerous. And early one morning a month later, up in Hays City, on the order of the court, Harlow and Gorse were hungry. Gunsmoke, under the direction of Norman McDonnell, stars William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. marshal.
