Gun Smoke. Brought to you by Chesterfield. Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed. Thanks to Accuray, they satisfy the most 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 Smoke. 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 lone. This is close enough. Let's leave the horses here, Boyle. Okay. Don't forget your rifle. Yeah, I got it. That's him over by the corral. Looks like he's alone, all right. He's alone. Who else could stand being around them stinking sheep? Must be something awful wrong with a man like that, Joe. There is. We're gonna set it right. Watch him now. I don't see. He's wearing a gun. Probably got one hid out nearby. Hello. Your name? Gideon Seek. It is he's your sheep? Yep. You got anybody helping you? I always work alone. I noticed you ain't wearing a gun. Seek. I don't even own a gun. You don't? I don't believe in killing. We do. Most men do. Sick S is cow country. You know what that means? Oh, it's my sheep. We gotta make an example of you. Other people might get ideas if we don't. Pretty soon the country turn white with them willies. But I only have a few. Only 24 of them. There's 24 too many. We're gonna kill them, sick. We're gonna shoot every one of them. Oh, no. You go run into the law, we'll come back and shoot you. You can't kill him. Try to stop us. We'll have to hit you on the head. I won't do anything. He's too scared. Kell. Come on, let's get to work. Oh, please. Please don't kill those animals. You just stand right there. Be keeping one eye on you. You start till then, boils. I'll start here. Okay, but you mustn't do it. You'll have a lot of meat left if you eat sheep meat. I don't eat any kind of meat. But you mustn't kill him, dear. Get it done, boys. I'm ready. Go ahead, then. Stand back seat, you know. Now, Matt, you sure Chester's gonna bring my mail back too? Ali said he would. But where is he? The Santa Fe pulled in two hours ago. Well, they have to sort it, don't they? What are you so anxious about anyway? You expecting a lot of money or something? I could use a little money. Oh, and there's a man who owes me $20. Oh, Gideon Seat. He's just getting off his wagon there. Well, Gideon's an honest man. He'll pay you. Oh, I know that. I'm not worried about him. Good morning, Doc Marshall. Morning, Gideon. How are you, Doc? I got bad news for you. Oh? I'd meant to bring in some sheep today. And I was gonna pay you when I sold him. Oh, well, I can wait. Get in. Well, I'm afraid it'll be a long time now, Doc. Oh, that's all right. Something happened. Get in. I lost my sheep, Marshall. You lost him? I'm going to get some more as soon as I can. And I'll pay you, Doc. Now, you know I'll pay you. Of course I do. Well, goodbye. Well, I'll get him. He's a strange one. Yeah, he is. But how could a man lose all his sheep, man. I don't know, Duck, but I got a ride out that way in a couple of days. I'll stop by and have a look. That whistling man, Bobby Haggard really started something. Tonight we'd like to introduce a player piano that could have come right out of a long branch in Dodge Packs more pleasure Packs more pleasure Chesterfield packs more pleasure Because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed it stands to reason A cigarette made better and packed better Smokes better, tastes better and Chesterfield is more perfectly packed By Accuray this electronic miracle Removes human error in cigarette manufacture so Accuray Chesterfield is firm and pleasing to the lips Mild, yet deeply satisfying yes, Chesterfield gives you something no other cigarette can give you Chesterfield packs more pleasure Because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed to the touch, to the taste Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed by Chesterfield Mild, yet they satisfy the most Well, I don't see old Gideon. Know where? He's around, Mr. Jones. He's probably in the shed. Chester, what's that big pile of dirt he's got out there? I don't know. Maybe he's digging a well. That's too much dirt for a well. Then ask him what it is. Hello, Gideon. Hello, Kester. Marshall, get in. Would you come inside? No, thanks, Gideon. We were just riding by. Chester was wondering what you're digging out there. Oh, well, that's a grave. A grave? My sheep are buried there. What happened, Gideon? They got killed. How? It doesn't matter, Marshall. I'm gonna get some more when I can. Who did it, Gideon? Tell me. A couple of men. They shot him. They shot all your sheep. It's no use asking me their names. I won't tell you. Don't you want them caught? No. Look, Gideon, I know you're a peaceful man and that you never carry a gun and all, but this is a matter for the law. Now, you tell me who did it so I can go after him. No, I can't. Why not? I don't believe in killing. Marshall. I didn't say I was gonna kill him. They killed your sheep, didn't they? You don't understand, and you better tell us. I don't believe in killing for any reason, even for food. And I don't believe in trying to resist evil. What do you mean by that? Well, the man strikes me. I don't strike back. But don't you believe in defending yourself? The men who killed my sheep will be punished. They will if I find them. No, Marshall. Their own conscience will punish them. Look, Gideon, you've Got a right to think any way you want to think. But so have I and I'm a law man. I'm sorry, Marshall, but I can't help you. Those men aren't through with you yet. You get more sheep on here and they'll be back. And the next time they probably won't stop just with a sheep. I'll win in the end, Marshall. You're awful stubborn, aren't you? No more than you are. All right, Gideon, it's your funeral. Come on, Chester. Hello, Kitty. Matt. I didn't see you. You weren't looking for me. Oh, did you find something of that window to blow your money on? You talk like I'm a cowboy in with six months pay. I know better than that. You don't act like it. I was only looking at those wool gloves, Matt. No, those would be nice company. Yeah. By the way, anything new with Gideon? Well, I haven't seen him since I was out there a couple of weeks ago. He interests me, that man. Yeah, me too. He's not fighting back and all. Maybe he's got something. Man, he hasn't got his sheep. No, but he didn't get killed either. He tried to put up a fight. They'd probably shot him. They're still free to do it, whoever they are. Well, maybe you're right. At least Gideon's ideas are some different from anybody else's around here. That's true for sure. It isn't wrong just cause it's different. No. Think about it, Matt. There can't be a fight unless both parties want it, can they? Kenny, Look. Getting off that horse, sir. Oh, it's Gideon. First time I ever saw him without his wagon. Yeah, he's going in to see Mr. Jonas. Maybe he's going to buy a new one. Maybe. Kitty, I think I'll go say hello. Sure, Matt. I gotta get back to work anyway. Yeah, I'll stop by later on. Good. He's asking a lot of you to trust me, Mr. Jonas. Things going the way they are? There ain't many men I trust, Gideon, but you're one of them. Oh, hello Marshall. Mr. Jonas. How are you, Gideon? Hello, Marshall. Hear what happened, Marshall? Have you told him yet? Gideon? Oh, it's not important. Not important? His house burned down, that's all. And he's wagon along with it. I'm going to rebuild. Mr. Jonas told me yesterday that he's going to put me on the books for enough material to get started. Well, that's mighty good of him. Oh, glad to do it. Hardworking, honest Fella like Gideon. Must have been a pretty big fire. Get in. Yes. Was I mean to burn your wagon up, too? I got an old wagon out back he can use. Now, you wait here now. I'll go see just how much material I got in hand. I'll get in. Well, what. Marshall. So they came back and burned your house down, huh? All right, they did. But I'm still not going to tell you who they are. They must want you out pretty bad, Gideon, but I'm staying. They'll kill you next. It's no use arguing, Marshall. Now it beats me. I don't know what to do. Just don't do anything, Marshall. Like you, huh? They can't win. They're doing pretty well so far. Gideon, I can't beat it out of you, but I sure hate to stand by and watch a man let himself be destroyed. I guess we'll never understand each other, Marshall. I guess not. Where are you listening to gun smoke in your favorite easy chair or out driving? Oh, there you are in the kitchen. Say, you want to make whatever you're doing more enjoyable. Have a Chesterfield. Enjoy. Chesterfield's better taste than mildness it stands to reason A cigarette made better and packed better smokes better, tastes better and Chesterfield is more perfectly packed by accuray this electronic miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture. So accuray, Chesterfield is firm and pleasing to the lips Mild, yet deeply satisfying yes, Chesterfield gives you something no other cigarette can give you Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed to the touch, to the taste. Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed by Chesterfield Mild, yet they satisfy the most. Sign not going. Yeah, you better come outside now. What's the matter? Well, there's a wagon out there and Gideon seats in it. He must be hurt bad. What? There it is. I seen it coming down the street. There was nobody driving, so I tied the horse up its rail. Well, what happened to get it? I don't know. I couldn't see too good in the dark and all. So I come and get you before time to do anything. He's been shot, Chester. He's still alive? Yeah, but we better get him up the docks. Come on, give me a hand. All right. Do you think we can ride out and find where it happened? Maybe track him down? But it's night in the rain. Well, maybe now he'll tell us who done it. I doubt it. Even if he lives, he sure does make it hard for the law, doesn't he? Yeah, he sure does. Hello, Matt. Draw me a Beer, will you, Sam? I'm in a. How's Gideon? Sick today, Matt. Doc says he'll be all right in time, but he still won't talk. Oh, he talks, all right. I just don't understand him, that's all. Well, I guess you're just gonna have to let him have his way, Matt. Oh, thanks, Sam. Bartender, bring me another bottle. Oh, another bottle. He sure needs. He's pretty drunk, isn't he? He ought to be. Sam says he's been here since morning. Doesn't look like he's gonna make any trouble, will he? I'm not so sure. He's been drinking like he's awful mad at something. Kidding. Who's that who just came in? I don't know. I knew I'd find you, Boyle. You had to come in and get drunk, didn't you? You leave me alone. Don't you run off. What's the matter with you? I told you what's the matter. Now leave me alone. You ain't quitting now. I'm true. I told you. I mean it. I can't stand it no more. I start something, I finish it. And I told you this morning. I heard. It ain't finished yet. I don't even like to be around you, Kel. You make me shake. Ashamed of myself. You listen. My horse is down the street. I'm a time next to yours. And then I'm coming back here for you. And you're going with me if I have to carry it. What do you suppose that's all about now? I don't know, But I think I'll find out. Excuse me, Kitty. Hello, Bos. You marshal, ain't you? Yeah. What's bothering you? Plenty. But it ain't none of your business. What did you do to make you so ashamed of yourself? Nothing. You're a cattle man, aren't you? I'm proud to be one. I sure ain't no stinking sheep herder. No lousy sheep herders now. And I don't think you're a coward, either. What? But you're feeling like one. That's why you're ashamed of yourself. It's kind of hard to beat down a man who won't fight back, isn't it? How'd you find out, Marshall? From you, I guess. We ain't dead, Kell. Heard about that this morning. But I ain't going on with it. I'm. I can't stand it no more. You finish your drink, boils. I'll be back directly. Well, where are you going, Mr. Dylan. Wait right here, Chester. I may need you. Yes, sir. Well, what do you want, Marshall? I've been talking to your partner, Kel. What? Kind of broken him down. What you two have been doing lately. What are you saying? It's made him ashamed. You heard him, he can't stand it anymore. It's boils you're talking about. He's drunk. He always gets to feeling sorry for himself when he's drunk. You shot a man last night, Kel. You left him for dead. You better be ready to back that up, Marshall. I'm ready all right. You can have Boyles. He won't fight. But you ain't taking me. You think I'm gonna let you ride out of here? Enough talk, Marshall. Is he dead? What you're doing? He's dead, Jesse. But what happened? Who is he? There's a man at the bar of the Long Branch. His name's Foils. He's drunk. Go lock him up, Boyle. Who's he? Like Gideon said, Chester Boyles punished himself. And he was wrong about Kell here. I had to do that. So I guess we were both in a moment. Our star, William Conrad. Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed. A cigarette made better and packed better smokes better, tastes better. And Chesterfield is more perfectly packed by accuray. This electronic miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture. So accurate. Chesterfield is firm and pleasing to the lips. Chesterfield mild, yet they satisfy the most. You know, when frontier settlers cleared their land, they left the brush piled around their place and earned the name Nestor. Because from a distance it looked like a big old bird's nest. Well, next week, a nester causes trouble when he won't leave his land. And that was the West. Good night. Gun Smoke Produced and Directed by Norman MacDonald.
