[Narrator (Gun Smoke Introduction)]

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 gun smoke. Gun sport. Starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America.

[Ms. Gross]

And.

[Narrator (Gun Smoke Introduction)]

And the story of a man who moved with it.

[Matt Dillon]

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 lone.

[Chester]

She's coming out now, Mr. John. This ain't gonna be easy on her, Mr. John.

[Matt Dillon]

Facts are facts, Chester. There's nothing we can do to change them.

[Chester]

Yes, sir, I.

[Matt Dillon]

Ah. Good evening, Ms. Gross.

[Ms. Gross]

Oh, Marshall Chester.

[Chester]

Evening, ma'. Am. Fetched Marvin his supper, did you?

[Ms. Gross]

Oh, yes. Land sakes, the hours the bank makes that poor boy work the caution. He wouldn't hardly ever get no warm food if I didn't pack it down to him. How've you been, Marshall?

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, fine, Ms. Gross, just fine.

[Ms. Gross]

That's good. Well, no, you gents have got things to do. Mighty nice to pass the word with you.

[Chester]

Good night, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am.

[Narrator (Gun Smoke Introduction)]

Good night.

[Chester]

There's a doggone shame. She's a fine woman.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah.

[Chester]

It's just going to break her heart.

[Matt Dillon]

I don't like this any better than.

[Chester]

You do, but it just don't make sense. Marvin Gross is likable, a young fellow you'd ever meet. Quiet, pleasant spoken.

[Matt Dillon]

Honey, you never know. Wait outside here, will you? I want to talk to him alone.

[Chester]

All right. I'm sorry. The bank's closed. Oh, Marshall Dillon.

[Matt Dillon]

Evening, Marvin. You working late again?

[Chester]

Sort of getting to be a habit. Mom just brought my supper. Like some coffee, Marshall?

[Matt Dillon]

No, thanks.

[Chester]

I don't really mind working late now and then. The other teller's married and got a family, and I got nothing to do with myself evenings anyhow. You. You won't mind if I go ahead and eat more?

[Matt Dillon]

No, no, no, go ahead, Martin.

[Chester]

You wouldn't figure there'd be much book work in a bank like this. Town the size of Dodge, but the doggone sure is.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, there's a lot of business done around here. I guess it's all gonna be kept straight, huh?

[Chester]

Yeah, that's it, all right, but it sure takes time and paperwork. Oh, by golly, mom fixed me chicken and dumplings tonight. Sure you won't have some?

[Matt Dillon]

No, no, Thanks. A. Marvin, Mr. Bodkin was in to see me today.

[Chester]

No. Well, I can say one thing about him. He's a fine man to work for.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, he was explaining the system you use here with your gold reserve. How you keep the gold in the vault and issue banknotes against it.

[Chester]

Yeah, it's the same system most of the banks out here use.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, he tells me that ordinarily the golds only check once a year when the bank examiner comes through.

[Ms. Gross]

That's right.

[Chester]

It just gathers dust rest of the time.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, yesterday Mr. Bodkin took a notion to check it himself. Marvin, there's $20,000.

[Chester]

What?

[Matt Dillon]

He says that you're the only man in the bank who had any chance to take it.

[Chester]

No, Marshall, there must be some mistake.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, I said the same thing, but Mr. Bikin was pretty convincing. I got a warrant here. Marvin, you're under arrest for grand larceny.

[Chester]

No, it's all wrong.

[Andrew Rines]

No.

[Matt Dillon]

Don't be a fool, Marvin.

[Chester]

I'm not going to jail.

[Matt Dillon]

Here. Give me that gun.

[Ms. Gross]

Drop it. Drop it.

[Chester]

Are you all right, Mr.

[Ms. Gross]

Dune?

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I'm all right, Chester, but go find Doc and get him over here fast.

[Ms. Gross]

It.

[Chester]

He must be in mighty bad shape, Mr. Dillon. Doc's been in there for near half hour.

[Matt Dillon]

I guess a bank office isn't the best operating room in the world.

[Chester]

Marshall, when he grabbed that gun out of the drawer, was he trying to shoot you or himself?

[Matt Dillon]

I don't know, Mr. Bucken. I'm not sure that he knew. He was caught off guard and he acted without even stopping to think.

[Chester]

You think somebody ought to go tell his mother, Mr. Jones?

[Matt Dillon]

Now, Doc said to wait. He's got a tough job to do. And he figures that Ms. Gross being here to just make it harder.

[Chester]

She's a fine woman. Waits on that boy hand and foot. It was gonna be a terrible shock to her. Yeah, for her sake. I hated to bring charges against Marvin, but there just wasn't any choice.

[Matt Dillon]

Mr. Botkin, is there any chance at all that. Well, somebody else could have taken the gold out of the vault.

[Chester]

We went over all that when I signed the warrant.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I know we did.

[Chester]

The bullion safe is inside the vault. The other teller, Oscar Greeley, has access to the vault. But only Marvin and myself have the combination of the safe. I wish there were some other explanation.

[Matt Dillon]

But there just isn't. I guess not.

[Chester]

This thing is just as unbelievable to me as it is to you, Marshall. That boy's been with the bank nearly two Years now. And I thought I knew him. Trusted him completely. Well, anybody would have, Mr. Bodkin. Quiet fellow like him. Not gambling or hanging around the saloon. Just living at home with his ma. Well, gentlemen.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, good, good. How soon can I talk to him? I said the job's done. I got the bullet out.

[Chester]

The boy's dead, though. Dead.

[Matt Dillon]

We didn't have the chance. Do you say anything, Doc? Not a word. Didn't even come to. All right, Chester, let's get to work.

[Chester]

Well, it appears to me the job's over, mister.

[Matt Dillon]

That's $20,000 worth of gold. St.

[Ms. Gross]

Missing.

[Matt Dillon]

And even worse, somebody's got to tell his mother. I'm sorry, miss.

[Ms. Gross]

I don't believe it, Marshall. It's not true.

[Matt Dillon]

I wish it weren't.

[Ms. Gross]

My son. Dead. Shot to death.

[Matt Dillon]

Accidentally. Ms.

[Ms. Gross]

Gross.

[Matt Dillon]

To resist an arrest. He was shot with his own gun. It happened about an hour ago in the bank.

[Ms. Gross]

Oh, no.

[Matt Dillon]

Here, grab her, Justin.

[Ms. Gross]

Yeah.

[Chester]

Easy, man. Oh, you. You just lean back a minute and catch your breath.

[Ms. Gross]

Marvin.

[Chester]

Well, you stay right there now. I'll go get you a dip of water.

[Ms. Gross]

It was less than two hours ago. I took him in supper. Chicken, it was. Flour, dumpling. I told him to come right home to my pregnancy.

[Matt Dillon]

I'm sorry, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am.

[Chester]

Here you are, Ms. Gross. You can just drink this now. It'll help to settle yourself.

[Ms. Gross]

All right.

[Chester]

Could you do some more?

[Ms. Gross]

No, no. I'm much obliged to you.

[Matt Dillon]

I'm mighty sorry to have to bring you the news, Ms. Grossman. Well, what's done is done. And, well, turning away from it won't change anything.

[Ms. Gross]

You said Marvin was shot resisting arrest.

[Matt Dillon]

Yes, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am. Arrest for what? What had he done?

[Matt Dillon]

Well, they. That's the second thing I hate telling you.

[Ms. Gross]

Well, my son never committed a crime in his life, Martin.

[Matt Dillon]

I'm afraid he didn't. It's gross. There's $20,000 in gold missing from the bank vault. Marvin's the only one who could have taken it.

[Ms. Gross]

Oh, it's a lie.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, if it were, there'd have been no reason for Marvin trying to resist arrest, now, wouldn't it?

[Ms. Gross]

Well, I've always known everything he thought or done. He told me everything I'd have known if he'd done anything like that.

[Matt Dillon]

Maybe this was the one thing he didn't tell you.

[Ms. Gross]

Did he say he done it?

[Matt Dillon]

No, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am. Did you catch him with it? Did anybody see him take it?

[Matt Dillon]

No, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am.

[Matt Dillon]

Nobody saw him. Now, we haven't found the gold, but we.

[Ms. Gross]

Why didn't I say it again, it's a lie.

[Matt Dillon]

Look, Ms. Griffiths, I hate to do this, but we're gonna have to search your house. He's bound to have hidden it somewhere.

[Ms. Gross]

All right, Marshall, search it. Tear out the walls and dig up the floor if you want, but you won't find nothing because there's nothing to find. I know my son. I know my son.

[Matt Dillon]

Yes, ma'. Am. All right, Chester, let's get at it.

[Ms. Gross]

Sa.

[Chester]

Real nice evening for this time of year, Mr. Jones. Yeah, it sure is gonna be an early spring. I seen a whole passel of metal arcs this morning out south of town.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, they probably wondered here.

[Chester]

Oh, sir, there's too doggone many of them, too. Oh, here comes Ms. Gross. Let's go across the street.

[Matt Dillon]

You can't dodge trouble by running from it.

[Chester]

Well, I know, but the way she feels about things.

[Ms. Gross]

Marshall.

[Chester]

Oh, no, she's sauce.

[Matt Dillon]

Good evening, Ms. Gris.

[Ms. Gross]

I'm glad I run into you, Marshall. I was aiming to come by your office. You found out yet who robbed the bank?

[Matt Dillon]

No, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am. You found the money yet?

[Matt Dillon]

No, not yet.

[Ms. Gross]

Two weeks now. My son laying out there on Boot Hill branded criminal, but not one bit of proof to back it up.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, I've followed up every possibility I could think of, ma', am, but not every single one of them has come to nothing.

[Ms. Gross]

But you keep trying.

[Matt Dillon]

Sure I will. I'll keep trying.

[Ms. Gross]

I reckon I knowed you would. It ain't you I blame, Marshall. You only done your duty. You got an honest reputation.

[Matt Dillon]

Thank you, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am. But I'll never forgive Mr. Botkin. Never in this life. He knowed my boy. He knowed he wasn't that kind. But he went ahead and swore to that warrant. He caused Marvin's death, just like he pulled that trigger himself.

[Matt Dillon]

Now, Ms.

[Ms. Gross]

Gross, that's not. I. I ain't going to talk about it no more. I already talked myself out and cried myself out. I'm on my way to the depot. Marshall. I was coming around to tell you goodbye. I'm leaving on the 11 o' clock train. I'm going back east to my kinfolk for a while, but I'll be back in a few months. Right now, there's just too many things in this town to remind me of my boy.

[Matt Dillon]

Awesome. Well, I wish you a good trip, Ms. Gross.

[Ms. Gross]

Marshall, I want my boy's name cleared. And I'll never rest till it's done.

[Chester]

I know that.

[Ms. Gross]

It will be. You'll see.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, I hope you're right. And you take Good care of yourself, huh?

[Ms. Gross]

I will. Goodbye, Marshall.

[Chester]

Goodbye, ma'.

[Ms. Gross]

Am.

[Chester]

My, she just won't give up, will she, now?

[Matt Dillon]

She's his mother, Chester, and even closer.

[Chester]

Than most for Marvin. Wouldn't hardly take a breath without her. Say so.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah. No.

[Chester]

Well.

[Matt Dillon]

Hey, how'd you like to have a drink, huh?

[Chester]

Well, I'm.

[Matt Dillon]

I. I'm buying. Come on.

[Chester]

Well, I thank you. You know, she'll feel better when she gets shuttered out, won't she, back there with her own can.

[Matt Dillon]

Ah, sure she will.

[Chester]

This girl's a fine old lady. It's just too bad.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah.

[Chester]

My goodness, quite a crowd. Long bench tonight. Over here, Mac. Come on over here and enjoy this. There's Doc, Mr. Butt. Can you.

[Matt Dillon]

You want to join him, mister? Yeah, I might as well. Oh, would you pardon me, please?

[Ms. Gross]

Hello, Matt. Good to see you.

[Matt Dillon]

Hello, Kitty.

[Chester]

Can I get you something?

[Matt Dillon]

Yes, matter of fact, you can. The usual, if you don't mind.

[Chester]

The same for me, Miss Kitty. We'll be over at the table there.

[Ms. Gross]

All right, fine.

[Matt Dillon]

I'll join you. Good.

[Chester]

Pull up the chairman, Chesty. Join us solid, respectable citizens for a chain.

[Matt Dillon]

Others, some would agree with you. Doc, how are you?

[Chester]

I've been fine, Marshman. Now, buy you a drink?

[Matt Dillon]

Well, I got one coming. Thanks. Oh, I just saw Ms. Gross outside. She tells me she's going back easy.

[Chester]

Well, I can't say I'm sorry to hear it. For some reason, she seems to blame me for what her son did.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, As a matter of fact, she just suggested that maybe he would rob the bank. Yourself.

[Chester]

You search my house, Marshall. You surely don't.

[Matt Dillon]

No, no, of course not. She was just talking out her hurt. She knows there's no sense to it.

[Chester]

Well, I hope you don't put any.

[Matt Dillon]

Stock in anything she said. Oh, I don't. The boy was guilty. His whole reaction, going for that gun and all. Well, it surely was. She just won't accept the fact, that's all.

[Chester]

Well, a mother's relation to her son gets to be a funny kind of a thing sometimes. Especially when it's as close as that one was. Yes, I've thought time and again how odd it was that that boy kept himself so much. She never gave him a chance to get out. Mixed to grow. She ran his whole life on him, 24 hours a day.

[Matt Dillon]

They must have found some time, Doc. He thought up that robbery and then carried it out.

[Chester]

Well, that's true, but I got a theory about that man. I think he did it to hit back at her, sort of. It was A way to rebel, huh? Yeah. But Marvin wasn't never one to rebel much. Not against nobody. But he finally did. Oh, where you going, man?

[Matt Dillon]

Wait a minute. Maybe he didn't rebel. Doc, what time have you got?

[Chester]

Let me see here. It's 10:38. According to my gold watch insurance.

[Matt Dillon]

10:38, Chester. Well, here, I got a drink order later.

[Chester]

Later on. Standing there with a mail sex on me. Things like this upset me something terrible. I swear to God, one of these days I'm gonna turn to dry farming to make a living.

[Matt Dillon]

Sure you are, Chester. When they figure some way to take the work out of them. Ah, Mr.

[Ms. Gross]

Gross. Oh, who? Why, Marshall. It's quite a surprise.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I imagine it is.

[Ms. Gross]

What?

[Matt Dillon]

You know you nearly got away with it. Another hour or so and you'd have had it safe out of town.

[Ms. Gross]

What are you talking about?

[Matt Dillon]

I got to thinking about Marvin. The kind of boy he was. And how he always did what you told him to.

[Ms. Gross]

He was a beautiful son. Sure.

[Matt Dillon]

And when I talked to the two men who carried your trunk here to the depot, they said they could hardly lift it.

[Ms. Gross]

What?

[Matt Dillon]

It's pretty heavy, I guess. With a hundred pounds of gold in the bottom of it.

[Ms. Gross]

That's a lie.

[Matt Dillon]

I just opened that trunk, Ms. Grosch.

[Ms. Gross]

You had no right, you. It was Marvin's trunk. I didn't know what was in it.

[Matt Dillon]

Your things are packed right in with the gold. Things I saw in your house the day I searched it. Ms. Gross, you're under arrest. Accessory to grand larceny.

[Ms. Gross]

Arrest?

[Matt Dillon]

That's right.

[Ms. Gross]

That stupid young fool getting yourself shot. He could have swore to some story that had cleared me and took all the blame himself. I tell you, he'd have been glad to do it for his own life.

[Matt Dillon]

He died for you, didn't he? What more do you want.
