EPISODE OVERVIEW

In this digitally restored episode of Frontier Town, lawyer Chad Remington returns to his hometown of Dos Rios to investigate his father’s murder. Suspicions immediately arise around the neighbors, the Kincaid brothers, especially after an innocent Choctaw man, John Tallfeather, is unjustly lynched. As Chad uncovers deceit, forgeries, and entrenched lawlessness, he seeks to bring the real culprits to justice while grappling with the town’s resistance to due process and civilization.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & PLOT BREAKDOWN

1. Chad Remington Returns Home

• Chad, now a lawyer, comes back to Dos Rios after hearing of his father's murder.
• His old friend, Dr. Cherokee O’Bannon, and Judge Fillmore’s daughter, Libby, welcome him and fill in the details.

Notable Quote:

“My name is Remington. Chad Remington. Born in Dos Rios 20 odd years ago and reared there until I went upstate to school to study law. I wouldn't have come back, I guess, if I hadn't gotten word that my father was found murdered.”
(Chad Remington, 01:52)

---

2. The Lynching of John Tallfeather

• Judge Fillmore and Libby explain that the townsfolk blamed John Tallfeather, a Choctaw Indian who worked for Chad’s father, for the murder.
• A mob, led by Rafe and Brett Kincaid, lynched Tallfeather the same night.

Notable Quote:

“John Tallfeather's dead, Chad. They strung him up the same night your father was found.”
(Judge Fillmore, 04:55)

---

3. Chad's Resolve for Legal Justice

• Chad criticizes the town’s resort to mob justice and emphasizes the need for due legal process.
• He vows to investigate and hold the real perpetrators accountable.

Notable Quote:

“This country will never be anything but a lawless wilderness until men learn to respect the due processes of law. Why do you think I left the ranch and went off to school?”
(Chad Remington, 05:24)

---

4. Land, Forgeries, and Suspicion on the Kincaids

• Chad visits the Kincaids to question a suspicious land transaction involving a key creekside strip.
• The Kincaid brothers act hostile but show Chad a deed with what he identifies as a forged signature.

Notable Quote:

“Yeah, I'm satisfied. The signature's a forgery.”
(Chad Remington, 11:20)

• Tension escalates, almost leading to violence before Dr. O’Bannon intervenes.

---

5. Gathering Evidence and The Marshal’s Reluctance

• At Judge Fillmore’s home, Chad explains his certainty about the forgery.
• They all head to see the marshal, who admits he didn’t arrest Tallfeather but let the mob handle it.

Notable Quote:

“In other words, you just stood aside, let them take your suspect and string him up.”
(Chad Remington, 18:33)

---

6. The Breakthrough: Proof of Murder and Forgery

• Chad and Cherokee search the Kincaids’ ranch, discovering a cache of arrowheads (planted as false evidence) and a legitimate deed proving the creek land wasn’t sold to the Kincaids.
• Chad decides to take the evidence straight to the marshal.

Notable Quotes:

“With those arrowheads to put the noose around the Kincaid's necks. Here, see? They bought some land from my father all right, but not the piece down by the creek. Here's the deed... All they did was to copy his signature off this deed and trace it on the other.”
(Chad Remington, 20:56)

---

7. Confrontation at the Lucky 7 Casino (The Climax)

• Chad, Cherokee, and the marshal confront the Kincaids at the casino.
• Rafe taunts Chad for seeking legal recourse, daring him to a gunfight.
• Chad refuses to draw first, provoking Rafe to act. Brett attempts to ambush from behind, but Chad and Cherokee quickly subdue both.

Notable Exchange:

• “Sorry, that's one piece of advice I can't take.”
  (Chad Remington, refusing to draw, 25:29)
• “You're gonna find out, Rafe, if I am or not.”
  (Chad Remington, responding to being called a coward, 25:40)

---

8. Resolution and Chad’s Choice

• With Rafe dead and Brett sentenced, peace is restored momentarily.
• Chad reveals to Libby he’s not leaving — instead, he’ll take over his father’s ranch and continue to fight for justice in Dos Rios.

Notable Quote:

“Yep. Libby, I. I've come home.”
(Chad Remington, 27:52)

• Lighthearted banter with Cherokee and Libby closes the story, promising brighter days ahead.

---

MEMORABLE MOMENTS & CHARACTER NOTES

• Dr. Cherokee O’Bannon injects comic relief with his salesman persona and wisecracks:

  “I'm as sure about this as I am that my Cherokee Indian rattlesnake oil is an absolute and positive cure for 89 ailments of man ...”
  (Dr. Cherokee O’Bannon, 15:11)

• Chad’s moral clarity stands in stark contrast to the frontier vigilantism, consistently advocating for civil law over violence.

• Tension-filled showdowns in classic Western style, especially the saloon confrontation, highlight the dangers—and necessity—of standing up to bullies with the power of the law rather than the gun.

Foreign.

[Andrew Rines]

Welcome to the Old Time Radio Westerns. I'm your host, Andrew Rines. And before we get into this episode, I wanted to remind you to check out our other western podcasts released daily by going to otrwesterns.com or or searching OTR Westerns in your podcast app of choice. I also wanted to invite you to check out our other podcast channel releasing non western shows by going to otnetcast.com or by searching otnetcast in your podcast app of choice. Now let's get into this episode. This episode is going to be Frontier Town. We don't have an original air date. We know it comes from sometime in 1949. The title is Return to Dos Rios. Let's get into it and I hope you enjoy.

[Narrator]

Frontier Town the Saga the Roaring West Frontier Town El Paso, Cheyenne. Powder River, Tombstone. Frontier Town. Here is the adventurous story of the early west, the tamed and untamed. From Cheyenne to Calgary, from dad City to Poker Flat. These are the towns they fought to live in and lived to fight for. Taming crucibles of freedom.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Frontier town.

[Chad Remington]

Sam. Frontier town, huh? Yes. I guess that's what most folks would call Dos Rios. A frontier town. Loud and lusty, tough and tumbling like a score of other frontier towns. El Paso, Cheyenne, Tombstone. The only difference, probably, is the name of the town. Dos Rios. That's Spanish for Two Rivers. My name is Remington. Chad Remington. Born in dos Rios 20 odd years ago and reared there until I went upstate to school to study law. I wouldn't have come back, I guess, if I hadn't gotten word that my father was found murdered. Murdered in cold blood. So I threw a few things into a carpet bag, took the first stagecoach out of Denver, and then stretched my long legs by walking the familiar rutted street past the stores with false fronts, the half dozen saloons, over to the White Gobi house that belongs to Judge Fillmore and his daughter, Libby.

[Libby Fillmore]

I thought father should have written you a letter, Chad. Still think it would have been easier on you since there was nothing you could do about it anymore?

[Chad Remington]

You always wanted to let me down easy, Libby. The judge was right. Telegraphing me.

[Judge Fillmore]

I was sure that's the way you'd feel about it.

[Chad Remington]

My boy. Exactly what happened?

[Judge Fillmore]

They found your father face down in the corral with an arrow between his shoulder blades.

[Chad Remington]

Arrow?

[Judge Fillmore]

It was an arrow all right, Chad. Regular engine arrow. Minute I heard, I rode right out to his range myself.

[Chad Remington]

No Indians around Dos Rios. No bad Indians.

[Libby Fillmore]

Folks around here don't think so. They blamed it on John Tallfeather The Indian who used to work for your father.

[Chad Remington]

John Tallfeather was as fond of my father as well as I am. What's more, John was a Choctaw. Choctaws haven't used arrows since the Mexican wars. Where is John? I'm going out and tell him I don't believe all that loose mouthed gossip.

[Judge Fillmore]

John Tallfeather's dead, Chad. They strung him up the same night your father was found.

[Chad Remington]

Strung him up? Who strung him up?

[Libby Fillmore]

A mob.

[Judge Fillmore]

A mob headed by your father's own neighbors, Rafe and Brett Kincaid.

[Chad Remington]

Kincaid? I should have known. This is no backwoods we're living in any longer. It may be the frontier, but it's the frontier of civilization.

[Judge Fillmore]

I've heard you make that speech before, my boy. For all the good it does.

[Chad Remington]

This country will never be anything but a lawless wilderness until men learn to respect the due processes of law. Why do they think I left the ranch and went off to school?

[Libby Fillmore]

We know, Chad. We agree with you. But while there are people around like the Kincaid's, what are you going to do?

[Chad Remington]

I'm going to do something. And you can bet on that.

[Judge Fillmore]

Now don't go flying off the handle, young man. The Kinkades are gunfighters, both of them.

[Chad Remington]

A lot worse than that. If they lynch poor John Tallfeather. And if there's any law in this country at all, they're going to pay for it. If you and Libby will excuse me, Judge, I'll leave my bags here.

[Libby Fillmore]

Of course, Chad, but where are you.

[Chad Remington]

Going to start with? Down to the livery stable, renting myself a horse.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Chad, not only can you have a horse and the best horse the livery stable provides, but you can have money in a bottle. What am I saying? Hand the shirt right off my bag, Cherokee.

[Chad Remington]

You haven't changed one bit. You sound just the way you did when I met you for the first time. Peddling genuine Cherokee rattlesnake oil off the back of that big wagon.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Yes, Chad, you remember the chair, siree. Now, if you just gather around closer friends. I want to call your attention to this little preparation I hold here in my hand. This little bottle is sold regularly for $3 everywhere. Now, you want to know what this little article does, and I'm going to tell you. It removes warts, blemishes, bunions and frackos. Curious coves. Rheumatism.

[Chad Remington]

Whoa there, you old horse thief.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Horsey.

[Chad Remington]

Your Honor, I'll amend my complaint. I'll just make it Dr. Cherokee O'. Bannon.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Thank you, Counsel. Objection. Sustained. Come on, I'll get you a horse. Yes, indeed. One of the quietest, gentlest, broken down hay burners of God for a fancy pants city lawyer.

[Chad Remington]

If you know what's good for you, o', Bannon, you won't call me fancy pants.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Don't worry, Chad. I've seen you ride. I've got a good nag for you. But do you mind, my boy, if. Well, if.

[Chad Remington]

If what?

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

I'd like to ride along with you. If it's all right with you.

[Chad Remington]

Come along, Cherokee. I'd enjoy having you company. Now, if you'll just get the horses, I'd like to be on my way.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Well, Chad, there's your range. You can see it right through them aspens. Hasn't changed much, has it?

[Chad Remington]

No, not a bit. There's the creek and the cottonwoods where I used to swim when I played hooky from. Oh. Oh, boy. Hold it.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Watch out. Watch out. What's stopping for?

[Chad Remington]

Unless I'm mistaken, and I don't think I am, someone's moved our wire. Our fence used to run along the other side of the creek up to that saddle rock.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Sure it used to. A dozen anymore. I thought you knew.

[Chad Remington]

Knew what?

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Well, last spring there was a big rock slide right over there. Filled the old trick bottom with rocks and changed the course of the stream. So your father sold that little strip.

[Chad Remington]

To the Kim K. Are you sure, Cherokee? Cause without water, there's a quarter of a section over here wouldn't raise gophers.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Now, the way I heard it, on account of you moving upstate to be a lawyer, your father was selling off his cattle. Didn't care about the water.

[Chad Remington]

Selling off what? That's ridiculous. Wasn't a month ago he wrote me to go over to the stock show at the Capitol and see if I couldn't find him a new Hereford breeding bull.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Wow. Well, I'll be a scoring Jim's or Fox. Sure wouldn't be buying any bull if he was giving up ranching. Now what? Eh, don't think he would.

[Chad Remington]

Come on, Cherokee. Turn that pony around. We're riding over and paying a call on Rafe and Brett Kincaid.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Get around there, you long legged, loose jointed shuffle. Gussy. Come on, let'.

[Chad Remington]

Neither Rafe nor Brecht seemed surprised to see me. But they did seem a little shocked when I started to ask questions about this strip of land Cherokee said my father had sold them. Or maybe shocked isn't the right word at that. They were indignant. Indignant and downright hostile.

[Rafe Kincaid]

You mean to say you think I'M lying, Remington.

[Chad Remington]

I'm not meaning to say anything, Rafe. I just asked you and Breck a very simple question.

[Rafe Kincaid]

What do you mean, simple question? You asked us to show you the deed your old man signed when we bought that property from him.

[Chad Remington]

I know what I asked, Breck. But I still have to see the deed.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Why you? I got a good mind.

[Chad Remington]

If you really had a good mind, Rafe, you wouldn't go reaching for your gun. I'm not wearing one.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Yeah, I forgot. You're the holier than thou gent who didn't like the way your neighbors ran your hometown. You went away to college. He was too good for us.

[Chad Remington]

I can force you to produce that deed, you know.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Oh, you can? Well, you wouldn't like to try it, would you?

[Chad Remington]

I don't mean beat it out of you, although I believe I still could.

[Rafe Kincaid]

He believes he still could, Rafe, whether.

[Chad Remington]

You two realize it or not. We have a court in this county. And I could make you produce the deed in court. I just didn't think that'd be a friendly thing to do.

[Rafe Kincaid]

You're not getting no place trying to butter us up with that friendly talk. Ah, let it go, Brick. The deed's over in the table drawer. Get it and show it to Mr. High and Mighty.

[Chad Remington]

I'd appreciate it very much if you would, Father.

[Rafe Kincaid]

A turnover in his grave. He knew what a dude he had for his son.

[Chad Remington]

The less you two have to say about my father, the better off we'll be. All of us.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Here, look for yourself. That's the deed?

[Chad Remington]

That's the deed, all right.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Well, now you're satisfied.

[Chad Remington]

Yeah, I'm satisfied. The signature's a forgery.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Why, you low down meal.

[Chad Remington]

Go on, Rafe. Squeeze trigger if you want to. I don't think even you would want to go into court for gunning down an unarmed man.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Yeah, well, who's to say you weren't packing a gun? Rafe's right. He's got me as a witness.

[Chad Remington]

You're a lawyer.

[Rafe Kincaid]

You know what witnesses are, don't you? Chad? You called me a liar. He said I forged that deed. Nobody calls me them names and goes on living.

[Chad Remington]

And I imagine you kill men for a lot less, too. Well, if you got the salt to shoot while I'm standing in front.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Hey, what's. Drop that gun, Rafe.

[Chad Remington]

Rafe is Cherokee. Chad must have left him outside. Yeah, I'd forgotten I had, but.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Well, Rafe, you gonna let that shooting iron go or not? The next one won't be just a warning. And even my Cherokee Indian rattlesnake oil never cured one from five bullet holes.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Go on, Rafe. Cherokee's got the drop on you.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

That's better. Come on, Chad. It's time you were leaving.

[Chad Remington]

You're right, Cherokee.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Go on, slope. And the next time you come up here, I'm shooting you for trespassing.

[Chad Remington]

Thanks for your advice, Rafe. And for your help, too. I'll be seeing you again, Sue Remington.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Next time I see you, you better be packing a gun, because I will. And I'll be looking for you.

[Chad Remington]

I intend to be looking for you, too. Both of you. Adios.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Doggone it, Reef, if he goes around town of shooting off that big mouth of his. Shut up, Brick.

[Chad Remington]

Huh?

[Rafe Kincaid]

I ain't afraid of no man who's scared to pack a gun. He had his chance while he was here and he throwed it. Yes, sir, I always noticed that one's yellow. Yella clean through.

[Narrator]

We'll return to the dramatic climax of Frontier Town in just about one minute.

[Chad Remington]

Sam.

[Narrator]

And now, Frontier Town.

[Chad Remington]

Well, when we left the Kincaid's ranch, I was pretty firmly convinced that my father's signature had been forged on the deed under which the Kincaid's claimed title to the creek and that strip of land around it. Cherokee and I pounded leather and left a trail of dust all the way from the Kinkage to Judge Fillmore's house in Dos Rios.

[Libby Fillmore]

But, Chad, are you sure?

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

I'm Ms. Libby, Chad. Sure about this and I am that my Cherokee Indian rattlesnake oil is an absolute and positive cure for 89 ailments of man. All the way from double pneumonia to hangnails.

[Chad Remington]

I'm even surer than that. I'm as sure as anyone can be. Why, even seeing the deed for the few seconds I did, you couldn't miss the even pressure of the pen on the paper. And no one writing normally writes that way.

[Libby Fillmore]

You mean to say it was traced?

[Chad Remington]

It was traced. Or copied or I just know that my father didn't write it there himself.

[Judge Fillmore]

I hate to sound like a judge, my boy, but do you think you're.

[Chad Remington]

Going to be able to prove it? Judge, I hate to sound like a lawyer, but I've either got to prove that or leave town.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Of course, I'm a doctor, pardon expression, not a lawyer. But it seems reasonable and sensible to me, Shad, my boy, that we go down and have a little talk with the warden. I mean, the marshal.

[Judge Fillmore]

It isn't often that I can agree with someone in Dr. O' Bannon's profession, but this time I think he's right.

[Libby Fillmore]

Well, Chad, if you'd like, we'll all go along with you. Look, Chad, the marshal must be in. That's his horse tied off in front.

[Chad Remington]

Good. Cause I'm in no mood to waste any time.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Know what he means by that, Ms. Libby? He's aiming on getting back upstate, not staying here.

[Libby Fillmore]

Oh, Chad, not really.

[Chad Remington]

I'm afraid so, Libby. This lynching, these threats from the Kincaids. Nothing's changed here. It's still the same boisterous, belligerent frontier town.

[Judge Fillmore]

Well, now, Chad, it's not as bad as all that.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Here, let me open the door for you. And if you don't mind, I'll wait for you here outside. I always feel a little strange when the door closes behind me in a marshal's office.

[Chad Remington]

With what's on your conscience, I'm not surprised. After you, Libby.

[Marshal]

Well, Chad Remington, I was expecting you to come back to Dos Rios. But I'm downright sorry that it had to be under these circumstances. Oh, howdy, Judge. Ms. Libby.

[Libby Fillmore]

Hello, Marshall.

[Judge Fillmore]

Marshall, Chad would like to ask you a few questions about his father's death.

[Chad Remington]

My father's murder.

[Marshal]

You're sure right about that, son. That loco dingen hit him smack between the shoulder blades like a target was painted there.

[Chad Remington]

I suppose you know the Choctaws gave up bow and arrow fighting years ago, Marshall.

[Marshal]

Of course they did. John Tall Feather reckoned that knowing it, we wouldn't blame it on him. But when I found that bow hidden under his bunk, I had him dead to rights.

[Chad Remington]

You found the bow?

[Marshal]

Well, I got it right here.

[Chad Remington]

There.

[Marshal]

That's the thing that done in your father.

[Chad Remington]

Thanks. It takes a mighty strong man to bend this boat. John Tallfeather not only was old, but he'd been sick for years.

[Marshal]

Well, he had enough strength left to pull at once.

[Chad Remington]

Marshall, how is it since you found this evidence, you didn't arrest John and bring him in here?

[Marshal]

Well, there was three or four boys with me when I rode out to your father's place. And then the Kincaid brother joined us, and, well, I reckon there's no reasoning with a bunch of angry men. Especially when rights on their side.

[Chad Remington]

In other words, you just stood aside, let him take your suspect and string him up.

[Marshal]

Suspect nothing. I tell you, we had him dead to rights.

[Judge Fillmore]

Well, you wouldn't have had him dead to rights in my court without more proof than that.

[Chad Remington]

No use getting excited about it now, Judge. Did you find anything else that day, Marshal?

[Marshal]

No, I can't say that by cinders. I did bring something else in that you probably want Your dad's belt, holster and gun. I got him right here in the desk.

[Chad Remington]

Yes, Marshall, I'd like to have his gun.

[Marshal]

Well, here you are, son, and I hope you understand.

[Chad Remington]

Yes, I'm starting to understand a lot. I'll see you again soon, Marshall. Come on, Lippy.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Now. I've got a. Chad, I almost went in to get you. Guess who just rolled into town. Never mind, I'll tell you. Rafe and Rectincade.

[Chad Remington]

Were they looking for me?

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Could be, could be.

[Chad Remington]

That's good. Very good.

[Libby Fillmore]

Chad, you don't mean that you're going.

[Chad Remington]

Down Make a target of myself for him, Libby? No, but I am going to strap this on. Don't look at me as though your eyes are going to pop out of your head, Libby. I'm fully grown now. I'm reasonably able to take care of myself.

[Libby Fillmore]

Chad, you'll be careful?

[Chad Remington]

I'm being doubly careful. I'm taking a bodyguard with me. If Cherokee and I find what I hope we'll find, you can get out your law books, Judge, as we'll be having a case for you to try in your court mighty soon. With the Kinkaid brothers in town, it certainly seemed safe to go back out to their ranch. When we got there I headed straight for the desk where the so called deed was kept while Cherokee started to ransack the rest of the house. Suddenly I could hear Cherokee's heavy boots come pounding toward me from another room.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Chad. Hey, Chad, you certainly played the right hunch. Look here.

[Chad Remington]

Where'd you find those Cherokee?

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

In a bedroll in the back room. This is only a few of them. There must be 20, 30 arrowheads back there.

[Chad Remington]

Sir John Tallfeather murdered my father. Those filthy cold blooded swine.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Sure the Kincaid's done. Hey, what's that you got there? That paper?

[Chad Remington]

Enough with those arrowheads to put the noose around the Kincaid's necks Here. See? They bought some land from my father all right, but not the piece down by the creek. Here's the deed for 10 acres up on the north side next to their grove of jack pines. All they did was to copy his signature off this deed and trace it on the other.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Yeah, even I can see the difference when they're side by side. Well, Chad, I suppose now you're going back into town and call them out, eh?

[Chad Remington]

No, Cherokee, I'm not. I'm taking this evidence into the marshal and swearing out a warrant for their arrest.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Huh? You sound like you've been drinking rattlesnake oil. Why, them two would never let Theirselves be arrested.

[Chad Remington]

Oh, have they got everybody bluffed around here? Come on, Cherokee, we're getting back to town. Come on, Cherokee. There are only two places we haven't been to, and well, there are the Kincaid's horses tied up in front of the Lucky 7 Casino. You see the Brands K Bar O?

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

You're darn right I do. By the bushwhacking buzzards.

[Chad Remington]

Go fetch the marshal. I'm waiting here to make sure they don't get away. You can see them both from here, Marshall, at the faro table.

[Marshal]

Well, doggone it, Chad. This ain't no time to try to haul em to jail. They been drinking. Well, them two is ornery enough cold sober.

[Chad Remington]

I'm sorry you don't like your job, Marshall, but maybe if you liked it a little better, it wouldn't be necessary to do things like this here in Dos Rios.

[Marshal]

Now you see here, Chad Remington. I don't take lip like that from no man.

[Chad Remington]

You'll be taking a lot more than that if you don't get busy. Now, come on, we're going inside.

[Marshal]

Well, but mark my words, we're not having no shooting scrapes.

[Chad Remington]

Marshall, if I were you, I'd start moving.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Come on.

[Chad Remington]

Just keep walking, Marshall.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

I'm betting another hundred and a thousand house will take off the limit.

[Chad Remington]

Sorry to interrupt your game, Rafe, but your luck's just run out.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Anyhow, remember what I told you this morning? I said next time I saw you, I was gonna.

[Marshal]

Rafe, I'm warning you. Don't try scratching leather.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Well, look who's here. The dude brought the law with him. You want something, Marshall?

[Marshal]

Well, Chad here sent for me. Says he's got some kind of proof you killed his father.

[Rafe Kincaid]

So he thinks I killed his father, does he? Well, if I thought someone shot my father, I wouldn't need any lawman to take care of him.

[Chad Remington]

We've got laws to handle things like that. They're plenty good enough for me.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Marshall, I got an idea.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

I just bet he has. I just.

[Chad Remington]

Betty has.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Since Chad wants us arrested, why don't you deputize him then? Being the law he thinks so high of, he can take us down to the calaboose if he thinks he can, Rafe.

[Marshal]

Now, I didn't come in here looking for trouble. And you being on the prod ain't.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Helping me none, Marshall.

[Chad Remington]

Are you going to arrest the Kinkades, Rafe? Sure, sure.

[Marshal]

But if they ain't gonna come peaceful, then. Well, I'm going back and get me a couple of deputies.

[Chad Remington]

All right, Marshall, I Don't intend to tell you how to run your job. Go on. I'm gonna stay here and wait for you.

[Marshal]

Okay, Chad. But don't you go stirring up no trouble while I'm gone.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Yum. Stir up trouble? Don't make me laugh. That marshal's a card, ain't he? Real brave hombre.

[Chad Remington]

Couldn't wait to run out. I didn't run out, Remington.

[Rafe Kincaid]

This morning you called me a liar and a crook. Now you come in here calling me a murderer.

[Chad Remington]

That's right, Rafe. I called you a liar, a crook and a murderer.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

And we haven't even started yet.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Mister, I got only one thing to tell you. Go for your gun.

[Chad Remington]

Sorry, that's one piece of advice I can't take.

[Rafe Kincaid]

You're right, Rafe. This Jasper's yeller. Sure he is. Yeller clean through.

[Chad Remington]

You're gonna find out, Rafe, if I am or not.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Yeah? How? You gonna hit me with a wet handkerchief or something? You ain't got the salt to clear your holster.

[Chad Remington]

The only time I draw a gun is in self defense. I don't know why you don't fill your hand.

[Rafe Kincaid]

Why should I?

[Chad Remington]

Well, because I called you a liar, I've called you a crook. And I'm calling you a cold blooded sneaking murderer. Even I wouldn't let a man call me that to my face. Go on. You got quite a reputation for slinging guns. What's stopping you now?

[Rafe Kincaid]

Last you'll get out of here before I blow you out.

[Chad Remington]

To blow me out, you'll have to draw. I'm waiting, Rafe. I knew you were everything miserable a man could be. But I never thought you were spineless as a gutless coward.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Why are you dirty? Let him go first. You still to beat him to the. Chad. Doc. Breck, behind you.

[Chad Remington]

Throw down behind me, will you? Breck, Drop that gun before I have to break. Break here. All right, Frick. Now we don't need the Marshall. The one Kincade that's left is going to jail anyhow.

[Libby Fillmore]

Well, Ted?

[Chad Remington]

Well, Libby, it's just that.

[Libby Fillmore]

Well, I hate saying goodbye.

[Chad Remington]

I hate saying goodbye to everyone.

[Libby Fillmore]

Well, you will write, won't you?

[Chad Remington]

Well, I might. Not that it'll do much good, I'm afraid, Libby.

[Libby Fillmore]

Not that it'll do, Chad. What do you mean?

[Chad Remington]

I always heard women knew everything by intuition.

[Libby Fillmore]

You mean that. That there's someone else upstate? Someone you're going to marry Upstate?

[Chad Remington]

Now, who mentioned upstate?

[Libby Fillmore]

Now, with Rafe dead and Brett Kincaid sentenced, you're leaving town again, aren't you?

[Chad Remington]

Well, yes. I'm going about 12 miles out of town. Libby, I'm moving into my father's ranch.

[Libby Fillmore]

Oh, Chad, you're not.

[Chad Remington]

I sure am. I guess there's enough trouble around Dos Rios for another good lawyer. Yep. Libby, I. I've come home.

[Dr. Cherokee O'Bannon]

Well, he ain't never gonna get home if he don't get started. You sage bust. Romeo.

[Chad Remington]

How about inviting me for dinner tomorrow night?

[Libby Fillmore]

Oh, Chad. Chad, of course.

[Chad Remington]

Well, then we. We'll be seeing you, Libby. Get started, Cherokee. We got miles to cover up there, boy. Make tracks. And don't forget, Libby, my weakness is.
