All language subtitles for S5E3 - Doc Dawson

The disappearance
of Ed Matton,

a Wells Fargo freight driver,

had sent me to southern Utah.

I'm Jim Hardie,

Special Investigator
for Wells Fargo.

A local sheriff and myself

had searched for two weeks
for Matton

and his missing cargo,

without much success,
I'm afraid.

And then we got our first break.

This is it.

Look around, see if you can find

any trace of Ed.

Yeah, I'll look around.

Ed's body is behind
that clump of trees.

I was afraid of that.

Send some men out
to bring him in for burying.

Don't look like they took much.

Everything seems to be here

except the dental chair

and some dental supplies.

Some what?

Ever faced telling a woman
her husband's dead?

Yes, I have.

The hardest part of any killing

is on the people

who have to go on living

after a loved one's gone.

You want some of this coffee?

Nah.

I've known Sarah
and Ed all my life.

Every young fella in town

set his cap to marry her.

Prettiest gal in town.

And her father
was a town banker.

Left her and Ed

pretty well set when he died.

If Ed was well set,

how come he was driving
for Wells Fargo?

Well, he didn't need the money,

that's for certain.

But Ed was always
pretty relaxed.

I reckon he liked the job,

I mean, never... money never
meant much to him anyway.

I always figured that's why

Sarah married him.

Saw you riding in, Sheriff.

Thought you might have heard
something about Ed.

Oh, this is Jim Hardie,

Special Investigator
for Wells Fargo.

Clyde Simpson.

Howdy.

My sister's been half
out of her mind

worrying about Ed.

I don't like to keep
bothering you, Sheriff,

but... We found him.

You found him?

Dead.

I've been working up
to telling Sarah,

but would you tell her
for me, Clyde?

Well, I couldn't.

It might be
a little easier on her

if she heard it from a relative

or a close friend.

Well, Joe Haynes was one
of their best friends.

He'd know how
to break it to her.

Yeah. Would you get Joe for me?

Well, sure, Sheriff.

Excuse me.

It might be a good idea

if we worked together
on this case, Sheriff.

Well, sure ain't much to go on.

The only lead we've got so far

is the missing dental equipment.

You know, I've been
thinking about that, Hardie.

A fella here in town
set himself up

as a dentist
about two weeks ago.

Come here.

You can see his place from here.

Who is he?

Doc Dawson.

Dawson?

I knew I've heard
a name Dawson once,

but he sure wasn't any dentist.

Yes, that old coot up
the street,

calls himself Doc

and spends seven nights a week

reading what he calls his, uh,

memoirs to anybody
who will listen.

It couldn't be.

It couldn't be who?

The Dawson I knew,
he'd made himself

quite a reputation as an outlaw,

and now he's what you might say

more or less retired.

That's just who he claims he is.

You mean it's true?

You'd better believe it's true.

I'm his parole officer,

supposed to check on him
from time to time.

I think now might be
a pretty good time

to do a little checking.

I'll wait until
Joe Haynes gets here.

Oh, yeah, I see it now.

I think I pulled out
the wrong tooth more than once,

there's gold filling
in that tooth,

bad for your mouth,
give you a fatal disease.

Hmm, must be $50 worth
of gold in that tooth.

Now, let's see,
which tooth was that?

It was third from the back
on the right-hand side.

We'll get it this time.
If we don't,

we'll do it all over again.
Keep trying

till we get the job done,
that goes the guarantee.

Ow! Oh, my finger! Oh!

Let go! Ooh, ooh!

Oh.

A man could get rabies
from a thing like that.

Here's laughing gas.

Laugh away the pain,
latest thing.

That's it.

Now, let's see.

Was that the third from the back

on the right-hand side or second

from the front on the left side?

Hold it. Why, you fraud, you!

Listen to me. Get out of here.

All right, you're next.
Come on, get in the chair.

You're next.

Well, Jim. Jim Hardie.

I didn't know you was here.

Yes, I'm here.

I just caught your performance.

Yeah, I had to calm him down.

Seems to me you might have
overdone it just a little.

Jim, you're sure looking great.

You come after my parole report?

How could I come after
your parole report

when I didn't even know
where you were?

You're supposed to stay
in touch with me.

Yeah, meant to, meant to.
Keep slipping my mind.

Getting forgetful these days.

Either that or you're
up to something

and you don't want me
to know where you were.

Hey, you, Jim, always joking.

And what would I be up to,

an old codger like me?

When did you start
pulling teeth?

Oh, oh, just a little thing
I took up.

Keep me going
to get my memoirs finished.

Hey, Jim, that tooth ever
bothered you there?

Now, tell me where you got
the drill

and the dental chair
and all these equipment from?

Oh,

I'm glad you asked that, Jim.

Let's see, now, now,
where did I get that?

It's a terrible thing
when a man starts forgetting

little things here and there.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Found it...
Found it along the trail.

What trail?

Oh,

road out here, side road,

wasn't used very much.

As you were, brand spanking new.

A couple fellas
coming on the rig,

I hired them
to cart it into town.

And where are those fellas now?

Oh, let's see.
You'll find them...

No, no, you won't either.

Well, they just kept going
to parts unknown.

Here.

Jim, have a little candy.

Jawbreakers.

Jawbreakers?

Yeah, jawbreakers.

Jawbreaker walnuts,

makes for friendly relations.

Good for business.

Nothing like chewing
on a jawbreaker,

man break a tooth now and then,

and that's a risk
you got to take.

Still the same lying,

cheating, wily old bird

you've always been, aren't you?

Jim, when did I ever lie to you?

Little white ones, maybe.

Black ones?

Yes, a black one.

There was a man murdered
out there.

If you really found
this chair out on the trail,

you'd have seen his body.

Murdered?

I don't know nothing
about no murder.

Now, I wanna get a straight
answer out of you.

Where did you get
the chair, the drill

and all the rest
of this equipment?

Mr. Hardie?

This is Sarah Matton, Ed's widow

and Joe Haynes, his best friend.

How do you do? How do you do?

I'm sorry about your
husband, Mrs. Matton.

He was a friend of mine.

I got to know what happened.

The sheriff says you might have
an idea who killed Ed.

Now, Sarah, you know we'll do

everything possible
to find Ed's killer.

Who'd want to kill
a man like Ed?

He was so good, gentle.

Everybody loved him.

Sarah, get hold of yourself.

There's nothing you can do here.

Mr. Hardie, please.

Please find the man
who murdered my husband.

We'll certainly do
everything we can.

Come on, Sarah.

The sheriff here says
there's a dentist chair

missing out of the freight.

Yes, I believe there was
a dental chair missing.

That's a new chair,
ain't it, Doc?

Yeah. Yeah, I use nothing but

the best equipment around here.

Did he have anything to do
with Ed's killing?

Oh, there must be
some kind of a mix-up here.

I don't know nothing
about no killing.

Mr. Hardie, did he have
anything to do with it?

That's what the sheriff
and I intend to find out.

Look, Doc.

If you had anything to do
with Ed's murder,

I'll kill you myself.

You got a bad gold tooth
there, mister.

I'll take it out free,
goodwill, you know.

Who do you think
you're playing with?

The sheriff and I
will take care of this,

I told you that.

There's $200 of gold
in that one tooth.

Now I want some
straight answers from you.

Oh, you'll get 'em, Jim.
You'll get 'em.

Care for a jawbreaker, Sheriff?

I've never seen you
this nervous before.

Nervous? Who's nervous?

That look like I'm nervous?

That's the wrong hand.

Hmm, must be a little bilious.

You get bilious every time

somebody backs you in a corner.

Well, a man reforms,

turns over a new leaf,

tries to make an honest living,

pulling teeth,
pillar in the community...

Gets accused
of all kinds of things.

Yeah, once an outlaw,
always an outlaw.

Is that the way you see it, Jim?

That'll depend on you.

Now, let's start
at the beginning.

Where did you get
this equipment from?

Well, looks like
I'm gonna have to tell you.

They're just left
on my doorstep.

Nobody ever come around
to collect money for it,

and hey, how could I pass
a bargain like that, eh?

You expect us to believe that?

I already told you
I didn't expect you

to believe it, didn't I?

You know, if you told us
the truth,

you might get off
with just going back

to the penitentiary.
Penitentiary?

No. No, Jim,
not the penitentiary.

Not that. Why not?

I thought you said all your
old friends were there,

it'd be like going back home.

Well, last time I was paroled,

they wanted me to help them make

a break after I got out.

They forced me to take money

to make arrangements with.

After I got out, I realized

what they wanted me
to do wasn't legal.

Where were you
the day Ed was shot?

Well, I was out of town.

I was over at Tyler Junction.

How did you know
what day Ed was shot?

I was over there whole week.

Can you prove it?

Well, ask anybody.

Ask anybody in Tyler Junction.

Just ask them. I'll do that.

We'll telegraph
the town marshal.

Don't try to leave town.

Where would I go?

My duty is to stay here
helping people,

pulling teeth.

Jim, he wasn't
in Tyler Junction.

Marshal ran him out
of town a year ago,

hasn't seen him since.

Wanna come with me
while I make the arrest?

JOE: Hey, Sheriff. Hey, Joe.

You looking for Doc Dawson? Yes.

Got himself a rig
hightailed it out of town,

headed north.

Well, if there was any doubt...

Let me bring him in, Sheriff.

Here.

Whoa.

Thought I'd take a little drive.

Fresh air sorta clears my head.

You're under arrest.

You know that, don't you?

Yeah, I was afraid
you'd say that.

Get in.

I didn't have no choice.

I had to run.

Hanging or penitentiary...

Nobody'll believe me.

You don't give anybody a chance.

Why don't you tell
the truth once in a while?

I am. First time
in my life ever tried it.

Doesn't work, should've
made up a good lie.

Well, the next thing
I'm gonna be wanting from you

is a confession, and no lying.

Now, Jim, you know me.

Do you believe
I'd murder somebody?

Unless it was
absolutely necessary?

No, not for no dental chair.

You know my record.

Oh, you bet I do.

Larceny, embezzlement,

theft, blackmail.

Yeah, but no murder.

Now, that dental stuff
was left on my doorstep,

just like I told you.

I don't know how it got there.

Somebody's trying to frame me.

Well, if it'd been me,

I would've taken all that stuff,

everything I could
get my hands on.

Yeah, I know you would.

That's the part that puzzles me.

Why just the dental
chair was taken?

Why was Ed killed?

Unless somebody was
wanting to murder him

and blame it on the robbery.

That's what I'm getting at.

They hauled that
dental chair to me

so as I would be blamed.

Well, that's worth
checking into.

When we get back to town,

you'll wait for me
in your office.

I'm gonna go have
a talk with the sheriff.

Hyah! Hyah!

There's something likeable
about the old coot

despite the way he carries on,

but I think you're
stretching things, Hardie.

He's as guilty as they come.

Who'd have reason
to kill Ed Matton?

Nobody in town.

Ed never harmed a soul.

Never had an argument
with anyone?

Well, it didn't amount to much.

He never got along too well

with his brother-in-law, Clyde.

Why not?

Well, Clyde was left
the same amount of money

as Sarah when their father died.

He moved to New Orleans
and came back broke.

Heard later he lost
most of it gambling.

Why would that cause trouble
between he and Ed?

Well, Sarah was giving him
money after that,

and Ed put a stop to it.

Said Clyde would never
settle down

if she kept it up.

What about this Joe Haynes,

is there anything there?

Oh, he's been
their best friend for years.

Always around their place.

Wasn't that way at first though.

He thought he was gonna be
the lucky one.

Did he ever get married?

No.

And rich widows
usually marry pretty fast,

and to someone they've known.

Were Ed and Sarah happy?

Well, that, I know.

She wanted to set Ed up
in business here in the town.

Didn't want him to work so hard,

but you can't change Ed.

He preferred working
for Wells Fargo.

Ever had any trouble over that?

No trouble,

argued about it sometimes.

Joe Haynes was handy
in case anything happened.

You know, once you take murder

as a motive for that hijacking,

all of a sudden,
you got three suspects.

Is there anybody else?

I'd be afraid
to mention anybody else.

You'd prove
the whole town guilty.

Well, I might try.

You know, if you can hold off

on arresting Dawson
for the rest of the day,

I've got something
I'd like to try

that might just work.

All right.

See you pretty soon.

I thought you finally
trusted me, Jim,

doing this to an old friend.

Well, I do.
I just didn't want you

to be tempted to clear your head

with any of that
fresh air again.

I could've left anytime
I wanted to.

Man of my word.

Why didn't you pick
this one too?

Never trust a dentist.

A man can pick locks
with them gadgets.

I think I can clear you, Dawson,

but I'm gonna need your help.

I'll do anything you want.

I'm gonna try
to trap the killer.

Who is it?
JIM: I don't know yet.

I'd trap beaver
if I knew where any were.

You used to be one
of the biggest

outlaws in this country.

It's real nice
of you to say that, Jim.

JIM: You were tough,
shrewd, and clever.

Got any of that left in you?

Are you asking me as
my parole officer or my friend?

As your friend.

Haven't lost a bit of it,

tough as steel...

smarter.

Well, you're gonna have to be

because you're gonna be
the bait for a trap.

Bait?

The way I've got it figured,

I think I can get the man

who killed Ed Matton

to try to kill you too.

I never was one to mince words.

I need $500 by tonight.

Leave town if I get it.

Otherwise, to protect myself,

I'll tell the sheriff
who killed Ed Matton.

Otherwise, to protect myself,

I'd have to tell the sheriff

about Ed Matton's murderer.

I was awake that night,

saw the dental supplies
delivered.

Saw who delivered them.

I was never one to mince words.

I need $500 by tonight.

Leave town if I get it.

Otherwise, to protect myself,

I'll have to tell the sheriff

about Ed Matton's murderer.

I was awake that night,

saw the dental supplies
delivered.

Saw who delivered them.

We talked over your offer.

I can't figure out

whether you saw anything or not.

Don't make any difference now.

Why'd you talk alone to us

if you saw both of us?

Didn't wanna tip off the law.

Did you bring the money?

Why didn't the sheriff
arrest you?

I told Hardie the truth.

The equipment was left
on my doorstep.

Didn't know anything
about the murder.

And he believed you?

Yeah. Yeah, I got to go...

If Hardie believed him,

maybe a court of law would.

But if this old man hung himself

out of remorse
for killing Ed Matton

and stealing
all of that freight,

wouldn't be a jury in the world

wouldn't say he was guilty.

Hang myself?

Hardie can say all he wants,

but under circumstances
like these,

when a man commits suicide...

Yeah, but I ain't...

Help Mr. Dawson hang himself.

The only way we can stay
in the clear.

You can keep the money.

I'll leave town anyway.

JIM: Hold it right there.

We got two birds with one rock.

Had it all worked out
between you, didn't you?

Haynes would marry Sarah,

and Clyde would get his
allowance again.

Turn around. Slow.

What happened to his gold tooth?

Huh? Where?

Oh, I guess he lost it
in the fight.

It'll be around here somewhere.

You ain't never gonna change.

Do you have to do it, Jim?

I'm afraid I do.

Well, maybe you've earned

a right to it, I don't know.

Then why are you taking it away?

Two reasons.

One, it's stolen property

and two, you haven't
got a license

to practice dentistry.

Well...

till I get my memoirs in order,

I guess I'll just
have to find myself

a new profession. You be careful

what that new profession is.

Well, I'll be careful, Jim,
nothing underhanded.

Getting too old for
that sort of thing.

It's going to be
honest, upright.

I'll bet.

What are you looking
so worried about?

That man acts like
he thinks I'm a liar.
