Gunsmoke, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

Over here. Take a look.

Look, I told you there's nothing else.

And I want them first.

The rifle?

Why,

you filthy old bag of bones.

You think I'd give you something worth that much money?

Tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you the rifle for her.

Even trade.

Okay. Have it your way.

Suit yourself.

That's all you're gonna get.

what I've been missing.

What's her name? I don't know, sir.

Listen, mister, I just spent four months in Pawnee there, too, where they eat

little fellas like you for breakfast.

Now, what's her name?

Miss Gregory.

Linda Gregory.

See how easy it is, what you learn now?

Mr. Botkin?

What is it you want?

Well, let me see it.

It's worth $110, but I can't pay you.

Now, let's have no trouble here. I have to hold this until I check with the

marshal. Go get the marshal.

Hold it. Hold him tight.

Hold on to him.

Here, let's go. In there. In the closet.

Well, you quit that, Fred.

Ain't no eight-year-old young'un gonna tell me how to play checkers. I know

that.

Now quit.

See what I'm... Why don't you get on home now? That jailhouse ain't no place

for young'uns. Now get.

Freddy, maybe you better go on home. Your mom might be looking for you.

We'll see you again later.

Fred?

This here's the only piece I got left, you wonder?

Thanks, Festus.

It's a funny thing, Matthew, how both of us has got such a way with children,

ain't it?

How's that?

Well, you and me now, anything ever strike you about you and me?

Well, no, not so that I could recollect.

Well, we're just as much alike as two peas in the pod.

We are, huh? Of course we are.

You ain't married.

Say, you know, I ain't married. I ain't got no house, no wife, no children,

neither of you, no belongings, no nothing.

We're just like two old tumbleweeds, a kind of.

Boblin and the bunglin out across the prairie.

Directly, we'll hit the barbed wire fence, and we'll just kind of hang up

there and just nothing away.

Hmm. Well, maybe before we nothing away altogether, I better just have another

cup of coffee.

Marshal, Mr. Botkin wants you over at the bank right away.

All right.

How much is it worth, Mr. Botkin?

$110.

I see.

Where is the boy?

I locked him in the broom closet there. He became violent.

I thought maybe it was stolen.

After all, he was wounded as though he'd been in a fight.

He's been wounded, all right. A couple of you men get off to Doc's office, will

you?

Let's just go get Capel.

Here, Mr. Bacon. I'll take the $110. I'll give it to him.

I'll tell you this. He sure has came a long ways.

I bet Pappy a mule that he's been a-running the best part of three or four

days.

Well, you know, there is a Pawnee village up on the Canadian River, but

that's over 200 miles.

What do you think, Doc?

Well...

He's exhausted. He's half-starved.

He sure lost a lot of blood, and he's got a bullet in here, too.

Kotawa, ask him a couple of questions. See if you can find out what his name is

and where he came from.

He will

not speak.

Try him again.

Listen,

young man, I don't know who in thunder you're mad at, but it'd sure be easier

on you if you'd help us a little.

What do you reckon he's doing in town, Matthew?

I don't know.

Let me tell you something. If old Dodge gets him patched up and he goes down

yonder on the street in them duds, he ain't gonna last very long, Dodge.

Here, here, wait a minute.

You're not going anyplace, not till I get that bullet out of there.

Why don't you all just get out of here?

All right, Doc.

I'll tell you something.

It's gonna hurt you quite a bit.

I guess you don't even care about that, do you?

Well, I told you it'd hurt you if you'd move around. Now, what do you want to do

that for?

All right, there's your change, and I'll get back over there and lie down.

Well, you're bound to determine you're going to go. I can't keep you from it.

But I'll tell you something. You sure need some rest.

And that plate of soup's not going to last you very long. There you are.

I'm telling you, Doc, if you'd have had one of my machines before you started

whittling on that poor boy, you'd have known where that bullet was at.

What in thunder are you talking about, anyway?

I got me an idea for a new machine to find bullets with.

Doc, I'll just bet you're pretty that half of your patients would be alive

today if you'd have had something to show you what to look for instead of

doing what you do.

What do you mean, what I do?

Oh, you go to prodding and jobbing and poking around the inside of them and

looking for something that you ain't got no idea where it's at.

If you're going to start inventing something, it's my personal considered

opinion that you ought to stick with something that's slightly more

commensurate with your mental capabilities, like inventing a

buttonhole or a toothpick or something.

Festus was trying to explain a new machine of his, and he just got all

upset. Oh, he just flew all to pieces, just throw the regular yin-yang.

Now, what did you see? Uh, Sam, would you bring the Marshall beer?

Yes, ma'am.

Anything new on our young Indian friend?

No, I haven't seen a lot in the hair of him, Kitty, since he went shopping this

afternoon.

Shopping? I thought he was wounded.

He was.

But after old Doc took the bullet out of him, he went down to the store, bought

himself a new hat. and the new pair of breeches and everything got all dooded

up.

Is it true that he came nearly 200 miles on foot?

Well, we don't know for sure, Kitty, but the nearest Pawnee settlement I know of

is down in the Canadian River, and that's 200 miles.

Got any idea what he's doing here?

Well, it seems like he's after somebody, but he won't talk. He won't open his

mouth, so we don't know who it is.

Barkey.

Take out for the drinks.

I thought we were going to have a big evening. I changed my mind.

Oh, I'm glad you're here, Marshal. What kind of hotel is this, anyway?

What's happened, Mr. McConaughey? What happened? A thief tried to break into my

room. That's what happened. Thief? Yeah, that's what I said. A thief.

Somebody that knew I sold all those furs yesterday.

Now, you're the Marshal around here. Why don't you do something about things like

this? You give me a description of the man, I'll see if I can find him.

I ain't got no description.

All I saw was a shadow at the window.

You tell me you were taking shots and throwing chairs at a shadow?

Well, now, a man's got a right to protect himself, ain't he?

Especially since the law don't seem to be doing its job.

Well, now, maybe since you're so set on protection, I'll just take you and throw

you in jail for the night.

You sure got a smart mouth, ain't you, Marshal?

Don't push your luck, mister.

Well, why don't you just keep standing there making smart remarks at me a

little longer? Maybe the thief will get clean out of Dodge.

All right, let's go.

Now, just hold that.

What's going on, Kitty?

I don't know.

He just came in here and started breaking things up and throwing things

around. He did, huh?

All right, what do you got to say about that?

All right, maybe a night in jail will just cool you off a little bit, young

fella. Let's go.

Don't take a rag off of the bush while you reckon got into him.

Oh, don't ask me.

But after all the energy you've expended, I think we better get

something into you.

What?

Sam, let's have a double over here.

Well, I just told you, I didn't mean to.

It'll fall or it wouldn't hurt, I'm right.

All right, that's enough. Come on, let go.

Let go.

What's going on here?

You little red snake.

Where'd you get this knife?

What's going on, McCall?

How do I know what goes through the mind of a crazy Indian?

What do you got against him?

All right, come on, let's get out of here.

Look, I know that you understand English. You're not fooling anybody.

You might as well sit down.

I'll tell you something else.

You're making a criminal out of yourself by acting this way.

You may wind up spending more time in jail than your friend McCall.

You better think about that.

Well, here they are, Matthew. Hot cinnamon rolls right straight from the

bakery.

You two made up, did you?

Oh, he tried to stick a knife in McCall last night. I had to keep him separated.

Stick a knife in him.

And here I thought he'd give up on them savage ways.

If you're figuring to fix coffee, why don't you just fix it for yourself? I'm

going to take him to Delmonico's to breakfast.

Delmonico's?

You mean you're fixing to take that heathen over yonder? Sure.

Well, didn't you just now tell me that he tried to stick a knife in the

defenseless man right yonder in the jail cell?

That's right.

Matthew, I wouldn't want to tell you how to run your law and order department,

but if you was to ask me... Well, now, Festus, you remember the other day you

were saying we're alike in some ways and different in some ways?

Well, maybe that's one of the ways.

Gotta say this, he sure has jettled down a heap to what he was last night. What

did you do to change him like that?

Maybe I just gave him the idea that I trusted him.

Oh, say, by the way, as long as you're here, maybe you could give McCaw

something to eat, fix enough coffee for the both of you, and give him some of

those rolls. You can take 16 cents to pay for them out of the petty cash.

Why, golly, Bill, I sure get the big end of the bargains, don't I?

Golly, this floor sure is in bad shape.

Could stand a good scrubbing.

Sit down.

Morning, Marshall.

Oh, Wally.

I guess I'll have some eggs and a couple of pork chops.

Pork chops are very good this morning. What about your friend?

I'll give him a steak, I guess.

My name is Kyoga.

How do you know I speak your language?

In the doctor's office yesterday.

Vestas mentioned you looked conspicuous. You went right out and got yourself a

haircut and bought some clothes.

Kyoga, what are you doing here in Dodge?

Why are you after this man, McCaw?

I am your prisoner?

Well, no, you're not.

I can't hold you unless McCaw wants to prefer charges against you, and I don't

think he wants to do that.

I am free?

Well, right after breakfast, you're free, yeah.

Right now, I want to know what you're doing here in Dodge.

I cannot tell.

You mean you can't or you won't?

Look, Coyote, I'm not trying to force you to talk.

I'm asking you.

You are my friend?

I'd like to be, yeah.

Between friends, there is need for understanding, not talk.

Well, that's a good point.

But you see, Kyoga, I'm your friend, yes.

But I'm also a lawman.

And it's part of my job to find out why you want to kill McCaw.

He is an evil man.

Well, yes, I can believe that, all right.

But what have you got against him? What did he do to you?

If I told you, you would keep him in your jail.

That's right.

I do not want him in your jail.

I want him out.

Out where I can kill him.

Out where I can make him afraid of every shadow.

Where I can give him back the suffering he has given.

You know, you talk like that, I'll have to keep him in protective custody and

send you away.

You know he is an evil man, yet you would protect him against me?

I have to.

That's part of my job.

I will take nothing from you.

Coyote, I can't help you unless you bring charges against this man. Tell me

what he did.

That's the law.

I do not care about your law.

All right.

But I want you to promise me one thing.

I want you to promise me that you won't try to take matters into your own hands

anymore.

What's that for?

Well, it's to clean up your cell with.

Marshal kind of caught Mr.

Jailbird. He tries to make a good damn French, you know, and keep everything

clean. If I was you, I'd just scrub this thing to a... All right, McCall, I'm

gonna turn you loose.

Can't seem to stop that Indian from wanting to kill you.

You can't, huh?

You want to stay here in protective custody?

You're pretty clever, Marshal.

No, thanks.

I ain't admitting to nothing.

Not even that he's after me. Yeah, I kind of figured that.

Has he got a horse?

Not that I know of.

All right, then.

I'll ride out now.

Good.

How much?

Thirty dollars.

Where put bullets?

Right here.

I buy.

You put in bullets.

All right.

There you are. That'll be five dollars.

And I can pay the Dodge house, too, for you, if you're in a hurry.

He's in a hurry. How much is the Dodge house?

Three dollars.

You mean to tell me it costs more for that horse than it does for me?

Well, maybe he's worth more than you.

No, no, no.

Not like that.

Tie it against your shoulder or the recoil will hurt you.

That's better.

Drop that gun.

Come on.

Put it down now before you kill somebody.

Kid, now I gotta go after him.

Thank you.

Hmm.

You will die very slowly.

No. No!

Get me out of here, Marshal.

Take it easy now.

Thank you.

What will you do with me?

You're going to jail.

And that one, he is free?

That's right.

Unless you've got something to say.

What's left to say?

You brought me to your village on rope like dog for men to laugh at.

Coyote, I'm getting a little tired of your pride. I brought you here this way

because you wouldn't come any other way.

You're not man enough for me to trust you.

Trust? It is a word while we stand here and talk of trust.

That man with the blood of my father and sister on his hands is free.

Well, now that's a little better.

Now you tell me the rest of it.

If I tell you, you will put him in your jail.

He'll be tried by your people and given your justice.

But it is I and my people who have suffered, not yours.

Isn't it better for him to get my justice than none at all?

He came to my teepee to trade for furs, but offered only trinkets.

When my father refused...

He took the furs anyway.

We tried to stop him.

He shot me and killed my father. You're a liar.

My sister had no one to protect her.

I say you're a liar.

I've never been anywhere near Pawnee territory.

Well, now, that's not true, Marshal. He told me when he checked in the Dodge

house, he'd spent four months in Pawnee territory.

Well, all right.

I was there.

But I never see any sister or his father.

I don't know what he's talking about.

McCoy, you're going to stand trial for this, and I hope you hang.

Are you going to take the word of a dirty redskin?

Get him out of here before I kill him myself.

All right,

folks, it's all over. Break it up and go on home now.

Go on, all of you.

You would have killed him.

No, I wouldn't, Cayuga.

Perhaps not, but I think you would have liked to kill him.

Cayuga, I'm sorry for what happened to your family.

I can understand how you feel.

But you see, you would have killed him. I wouldn't.

That's the difference between us.

That makes me wrong?

No. No, I didn't say that.

Just different.

He will die anyway?

He'll die.

He knows he will die?

Yes, he knows it.

It is enough.

It is not Pawnee way, but it is enough.

Your way, nobody would have known about it.

My way, he'll be an example to all men.

Don't you think that's worth something?

It may be so.

Good, Coyote.

I think you understand.

I'm gonna let you go free.

You are not going to put me in jail?

Not if you promise to come back in two weeks for the hearing.

I... I thought you did not trust me.

Trust's just a word.

What's needed between friends is understanding, not words.

you
