NARRATOR [VOICEOVER]:
"Gunsmoke," starring

James Arness as Matt Dillon.

[wind blowing]

Hi, Newly.

Hello, Festus.

How's a come you ain't
out yonder at the wedding?

Well, I promised
these to Abe Frank.

And I'm way behind.
What time is it anyway?

Must be 9:00 o'clock.

You'll fixing to
miss the whole kit

and kaboodle if you
don't get a move on.

Town quiet, is it?

Quiet as a mouse
tip-toeing on cotton.

Of course, everybody
in town is out yonder

at the part except you and me.

It's march?

26, Festus.

Say, would you hand me a dipper
full of that black powder

over there?

yeah.

I was just wondering how
long it is till payday.

He left on the fifth.

Now, did I say
anything about old Doc?

I didn't say nary
a word about him.

No, you didn't,
come to think of it.

Ain't none of my [inaudible]
if that ornery old

custard wants to
go off by himself

a fishing in this cold and all.

Of course, he said he's going
to gone home a week or so.

And here it's been--
-Three weeks.

Well, that's just
it right there.

Don't you see?

He could be out yonder hurt
someplace, froze to death.

You reckon me and
old Ruth ought to go

out yonder looking for him?

He'll be back when
he's ready, Festus.

Give him time.

Well, that's it for tonight.

I sure wish you were
going over there with me.

I wished I could too, Newly.

But I got my deputying
to do, you know?

I tell you what.

Appreciate it if
you'd lock up for me.

Oh, of course I will.

Go ahead on.

Have yourself a good time.

Well, thank you.

I'll bring you back
a piece of the cake.

Oh, forget that cake!

Bring me some of
that crabapple punch!

Don't bother me
none if everybody's

out there dancing and singing.

Hey, Doc!

Doc, you grizzly
old scudder, you.

It's about time you--

Who are you?

I'm Dr. Chapman.

Who are you?

Name's Festus Haggen.
I'm the deputy Here.

That there is old Doc
Adams' buggy down yonder.

Yes, it is.

Well, then where's Doc at?

He's in Baltimore.

Baltimore?

Where's that?

That's in Maryland.

Where's that?

That's a long way from here.

I laid that there
fire for old Doc.

Well, that was very
thoughtful of you, Deputy.

Old Doc, he just went
fishing up at Triple Creek.

How in the tarnation did he get
clean back to wherever that is?

I have a letter here.

I rather imagine this is
going to explain everything.

Does it say when old
Doc's going to get back?

I don't know.

I don't read other
people's mail.

Well, you ought
to have some idea

when he's going to get back.

He won't be, at least
not for a time anyway.

What do you mean he
ain't coming back?

Just what I said.

Dr. Adams has gone to Baltimore.

And he has no plans to return
anytime in the near future.

I'm taking over his
practice for him.

Well, that there is the
biggest bunch of hogwaller

I've ever heard.

Old Doc, he wouldn't go no place
just out of the clear blue.

I'm afraid he did.

He was very upset over the
death of a little girl he--

he felt that he needed to
return to medical school.

And he did.

Well, I don't give
a hoot what you say.

Old Doc just wouldn't do that.

Deputy, I have no idea what
you or anyone else in Dodge City

thinks Dr. Adams would
do or would not do.

I simply know he is gone.

And he will not be
back any time soon.

Now, I have ridden a
long, long way today.

I'm very tired.

And I'm going to bed now.

So, goodnight.

[music playing]

What now?

Just what do you
think you're doing?

I'm trying to go to bed.

Not in old Doc's
bed, you ain't.

That's the only one I see.

And it doesn't happen
to be his anymore.

It's mine now.

So I don't want to
be rude, Deputy.

But if you'd just
please remove yourself--

Hold it right there.

What do you think--
young man, now

you be careful with that thing.

That's liable to go off.

It's liable to go
off, all right, aimed

right square at your belly,
Snapper, if you so much

as bat one eyeball.
Now, come on.

You're going with me.

To where?

To jail, that's where.

Now get them pants
up and let's go.

I don't believe this.

I don't believe any it.

You come in here all your
slick talk and ginger, claiming

a whole mess of foolishness.

And I know you got some kind of
a slippity gee-jaw figured out.

But it ain't gonna
work because I'm

fixin' to take you in and find
out just who and what you are.

Now, come on with me.

You're crazy as a bed bud.

You know that?

You can't lock me up.

I'm a doctor.

Will you read the letter I
gave you, or my credentials?

I ain't got time now.

I'll read them directly.

But I--

Don't go butting me neither.

Just tell me where
old Doc's at, and what

it is that you're up to.

Howdy, Festus.

What's going on?

I'll tell you later, Cody.

Well, you going to own
up to it or ain't you?

No, I'm going to bed.

Is he a bad one, Festus?

You can stay right
here till these here

bars turn green if you
ain't got no better

story to tell me than that!

Come on, Cody.

I'll get you some coffee.

Old Doc wouldn't never go
away without telling me.

You did what?

I locked him up.

What's that say?

It says that Dr. Chapman is a
licensed physician and surgeon,

and that he sits on the Board
of the Governors of the New

Orleans Medical Association.

What's that mean?

That means that
you made a mistake.

Doctor?

Dr. Chapman?

What is it?

Doctor, I'm Marshall Dillon.

I-- I'm afraid we've
made a mistake.

You woke me up in the middle
of the night to tell me that.

I know that.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

[groan]

Doctor, I-- I'd like to ask
you a few questions, if I could.

Marshall, I've been
awake now for two days.

I've been rousted.

I've had guns pointed at me.

And I've suffered all, if I may
say so, with an amazing aplomb.

But now if I am
not under arrest,

I'm going back to
my bed-- to my bed.

And I intend to stay there until
I am good and ready to get up.

So whatever questions
you're going

to have just have to wait.

Goodnight, Doctor.

It might help matters a little
bit if you could convince

your deputy to read my letter.

Oh, I clean forgot
about this here, Matthew.

It's from Doc, is it?

Mm-hm.

He's all right, ain't he?

Festus, Kitty's
probably not asleep yet.

But if she is, wake her up.

And get Newly.

And I'll meet you over
at the loan branch.

Well, what's it say?

We'll read it together.

[wind blowing]

There was a moment at the
grave side when I considered

giving up medicine altogether.

And I think I very nearly did.

That's why I felt it necessary
to be alone for a while.

But there was no running away,
because the child's death

and my failure
followed me everywhere.

Well, I know Doc felt
bad about losing her.

But then, shoot, he'd
lost patients before.

He took this one worse than
the others, though, Festus.

He kept talking how little
he knew about blood diseases.

Well, he took it
badly all right.

But I didn't know it would
affect him like this.

Go on, Kitty.

What didn't I do
that I could have?

I telegraphed the St.
Louis Medical University

and outlined Suzie's
symptoms and my treatment.

And the answer they
sent changed my life.

Her case and her symptoms,
that I had never seen before,

were not all that rare.

And, in fact,
they've been treating

similar cases in St.
Louis for over a year

with marked results.

In many cases, with a complete
arrest of the disease.

That little girl needn't
have died at all.

Oh, how he must have
felt. Living in Dodge

has been the most rewarding
experience of my life.

But I've been so out of
touch with modern medicine

that when I arrived in Baltimore
I felt like a schoolboy.

I suddenly realized how
little I know about medicine,

and how much has passed me
by in the last 20 years.

How little I know, and that's
why I've decided to stay

on here at the university.

Please understand
and forgive me.

But I couldn't bear to face
you all to say goodbye.

We've been through so
many years together.

The pain would be too great.

This letter is
the only way I know

of to tell you my decision.

I'll be gone from
Dodge for a while.

I don't know for how long.

But it will not be forever.

I will be back as soon
as I can get away.

And I'll think of
you very often.

And I pray that all of you
will remember with affection

your old friend Doc.

[crying]

There's another
page tacked on here.

It's about Dr. Chapman.

I just don't believe we
want to hear no more, Newly.

Ain't going to
be the same, Doc.

Just ain't going to be the same.

Festus, you know, part
of a deputy's duties

are to welcome new people to
Dodge, make them feel at home.

Now I got an idea.

Why don't you take Dr. Chapman
over at the Long Branch

and buy him a drink?

No, siree, Matthew.

I ain't a fixing to do
no such a thing, no, sir.

You know, Festus, I think
Doc Adams would appreciate it.

Whoa, whoa.

May I help you?

Seen Doc around?

Dr. Adams has moved.

I'm Dr. Chapman.

I've taken over his
practice for him.

Well, what do you mean moved?

Well, I'm the new
doctor in town.

What's wrong?

Well, I just stopped by to
get of Doc's tonic for my wife.

Arthritis is acting up again.

Well, excuse me.

I'll get my bag and
go right with you.

Wait, wait, don't you
have any of that tonic

that Doc used to use?

Sir, even if I knew what
Dr. Adams had prescribed

for your wife, why, I still
couldn't give it to you

without examining her first.

Oh, thanks anyway, Doc.

But my wife is kind of
fussy about doctors.

Sir!

And Doc Adams is the
only one that she trusted.

But, sir, I'm a doctor!

[inaudible]

Howdy, Doctor.

Good afternoon.

Nippy day, ain't it?

Frigid.

Frigid what?

Frigid, nippy.

Well, that's just
what I got done saying.

Ain't it?

Well, want me to buy you a
drank at the Long Branch?

No thank you, Mr.
Haggen, not today.

Good afternoon.

No thank you, no
thank you, not today,

Mr. Haggen. Who ever
heared of a doctor

who turns down a free drink?

Last time I'm ever,
ever going to offer

to spend my hard-earned
money on somebody that ain't

no more grateful than he is.

Frigid, nippy.

We had talked before
about hospital medicine,

as opposed to small
town doctoring.

And I-- I must tell you,
Marshall I had a great urge

to come to a place where,
as Doc Adams put it,

your patients are your friends.

Could I get you
some more coffee?

No, no thanks.

You see, Marshal.

I've spent most of my
life in a hospital.

And to tell you the truth, I
never had one patient that I

could call by his first name.

Well, I imagine you want
to take a look at this.

This is the lease agreement.

Now, I know this is difficult
for you, for everyone else too.

Dr. Adams and I
discussed that at length.

But he's gone.

And I'm here.

And the people in this
town are just going

to have to accept that fact.

Well, that might be easier
said than done, Doctor.

See, Doc Adams has a
lot of friends here.

And some of them are bound
to resent anybody that comes

in tries to take his place.

I'm not trying
to take his place.

I'm trying to make my own.

Well, be that as it may,
it's going to take a while,

and maybe some tough skin.

Doc was a-- well, he was
a fixture around here.

And, uh--

I'm a stranger.

Of course I am.

All these people are
strange to me too.

But I'll learned
to live with them.

And in time,
they'll come around.

Well, I hope it's
sooner than later.

Thank you.

Thanks for the coffee.

You bet.

I'll, uh-- I'll be
looking in on you.

Marshal, I'd just like for
you to know this one thing.

I am a good doctor.

[music playing]

I tell you one
thing, that new doctor

is going to be
awful with patients

unless he's got a
better way with horses

than he's got with folks.

Why is it, Festus?

Because I offered to buy him
a drink, just polite as you

please.

That's what I done.

And he practical told
me to jump in the creek!

[crashing]

[explosion]

[music playing]

It's Festus!

Somebody get the Doc!

Is he all right?

What happened?

I don't know.

Move to the side.

I'm all right, Miss Kitty.

Newly, he's inside.

Newly!

[music playing]

Is he conscious?

I thought I told you to
go home and get some rest.

I'm all right.

I couldn't believe that
I known about Newly.

Doctor, can you
tell how bad he is?

I don't know until he
regains consciousness.

He has a concussion.

That's for sure.

But to what extent,
I have no idea.

Can I go in and see him?

No, you may not.

I want him to get some rest.

He needs it.

Festus, you look
a little ragged.

Why don't you and
Matt take Dr. Chapman

and get yourself some dinner.

I'll sit with Newly.

I don't expect him to be coming
to for the next hour or so.

But if he does, you come
and get me please, ma'am.

I'd rather stay
here with Newly.

Come on, Festus.

Let's go eat.

[whimpering]

[ECHOING]Newly?

Are you awake?

Newly, it's all right.

Don't touch me!

No!

Newly!

Easy!

Get him back in bed.

Easy, Newly, easy.

Easy, Newly.

Just take it easy.

I doubt that he hears you.

What is it, Doctor?

Could be a result of a
concussion, brain injury,

hemorrhage.

I don't know yet.

What happened?

Did he attack you?

I'm all right.

Marshal, if you could hold
his head steady for me, please.

Just hold his head now as
steady as you can hold it.

That's right.

It's all right, Newly.

It's all right, Newly.

Easy.

Well, he says it's a bone spur
that's pressing on the brain.

How in tarnation
can he tell that?

I don't know, Festus.

But he seems pretty sure.

And that there is what
causes him not to know you?

It's more serious than that.

Newly is afraid of us.

I never heard of such a thing.

It doesn't seem possible.

Well, Dr. Chapman seems to
know what he's talking about.

Well, I wouldn't trust
anything he had to say about it.

He doesn't know
Newly like we do.

Oh, I don't know.

I heard him how Newly fought
Matt and miss Kitty there.

Well, maybe he's just got
himself a fever, Matthew.

Maybe he's just
thrashing around.

That it makes sense to me.

Certainly, it does.

Fevers can cause anything.

I wouldn't trust no
doctor except Doc.

What if Doc said it was a bone
spur pressing on his brain?

Would you believe it then?

Well, old Doc wouldn't say
nothing like that, Miss Kitty.

He's too blang smart.

As for this here high
falootin' over yonder,

why I wouldn't believe
a thing that that man--

Did you leave him over
yonder by his self?

He's with Mrs. Smalley.

Her name is Ma.

Beer for the doctor, Sam.

No, no, thank you very much.

Doctor, we were just talking
about your diagnosis of Newly.

And, well, there
are some of us here

who don't understand,
including me, I'm afraid.

Well, ma'am, it's simple.

And it's not so simple.

During the explosion,
your friend

suffered a fractured skull.

And a piece of bone that
was very small, I imagine,

splintered, and was
driven into his brain.

Now, that will
have to be removed.

Well, how big is that, doctor?

I won't know until I go in.

But from my examination
of the wound,

I'd judge, oh, it's
like-- like half the size

of your little fingernail.

It doesn't have to be large to
cause pressure on the brain.

You said removed.

You ain't fixing to go
digging into Newly's brain?

Of course he's not.

Are you?

Not dig, operate.

How dangerous is it?

Ma'am, any operation that
involves the human brain

is dangerous.

And I-- I think I'd better
tell you all now that even

if the spur is removed,
your friend may

still exhibit these
signs of confusion

he's presently expressing.

You mean that you
can't cure him?

I mean I simply don't know.

Well, he can't
just go operating

without knowing nothing.

Isn't there any other way?

Not unless you'd rather
have him stay the way

he is for the rest of his life.

How is he, Ma?

He's resting, hasn't
stirred since I been here.

You reckon I could
go in and say hello?

No, no, the doctor
said that nobody

could bother him, Festus.

I ain't going to
bother him none, Ma.

I just want to see him a spell.

I'll be real quiet, honest.

Well, Dr. Chapman will
be back in a few minutes.

And I don't think he'd
mind if you're with him.

Besides, I do have
a lot of things

to do over at the
boarding house.

I'll sure be glad
to sit here for you.

Well, thank you, Festus.

You betcha, Ma.

Newly?

You awake, are you?

How you feeling, partner?

You know who I am?

Of course I do.

Festus.

Well, of course.

There ain't nothing
wrong with you

except a few little
old scratchety bruises.

Could I have--

You could have
anything you want.

Just tell.

Water.

Water?

You want water, you
got water, buddy.

Here you are.

Well, I'll be blamed.

Hold on a minute.

They got you all tied up
here like a scraping hog.

Wait just a minute.

I'll take care of that.

Silliest thing I ever seen.

Here you are.

Thanks.

They even got
your feet tied now.

Hold on a minute.

I'll take care of that too.

What happened?

You know that
there sign yonder?

A gust of wind blowed that
clean through your window,

knocked over that cold oil lamp
right into that keg of powder,

just like blowed us clean to
Garden City is what it done.

Lucky.

I hope to tell
you we was lucky.

Now, why don't
you put your hands

up there, close your eyes.

And go back to sleep.

That's the best
there is for you.

Thanks, Festus.

You betcha.

I'll just sit here with a spell.

Let's go to sleep.

[snoring]

Huh?

What are you doing in here?

I just come in for a little
visit, must have dozed off.

Evening already, is it?

It's just coming on.

Has he been sleeping
all the time.

Just practical ever
since I come in.

Good, that's good.

His eyes as just as bright,
why just-- just [inaudible].

That's fine, Festus.

FESTUS: You ain't fixing
to use them, are you?

DR. CHAPMAN: In the
morning, soon as

the sun is high enough to
come through this window.

[ECHOING]But he
ain't sick, leastwise

not like you say he is.

Well, when I come in, he
knowed me, called me by name,

talked just like
anybody else does.

[ECHOING]It's
natural that there

be times when he's rash and
there be times when he's not.

It's all due to the buildup
of pressure on his brain.

[ECHOING]He's woke up.

Get away form me!

Newly, it's me!

Festus!

Newly!

Newly!

I'll go get the Marshal.

All right.

[barking]

[clucking]

Who's in here?

Whoever you are,
you better speak up.

[gunshot]

Newly!

[music playing]

Marshal!

What's the matter?

It's Newly O'Brien.

I never would have believed it.

What did he do?

Well, he was hiding in
my barn, for some reason.

I didn't know it was him.

I went in with my gun.

And he jumped me.

Now, believe me, Marshal.

I-- I was just trying
to defend myself.

What'd you do to him?

I shot him.

But I didn't mean it.

You killed him.

No, but I hit him.

I'm sure by now he's
in a mighty bad way.

How long ago did this happen?

Long ago as it took
me to ride into town.

Tell you what to do.

Go get Dr. Chapman.

Take him back out to your place.

We'll see if we can find Newly.

If we do, well bring him there.

Let's go, boys.

[music playing]

Hard to see, Matthew.

But I believe I found some
blood around out there.

Make yourself at home, Doctor.

I think I'll saddle up and
help the rest look for Newly.

See right there, Matthew?

That's blood all right.

Looks like he's
bleeding pretty bad, too.

Yeah, he must
have gone this way.

Let's mount up.

[gunshots]

Hold up, Matthew.

I believe I heared
something back yonder.

Of course, it could
have just been the wind.

Reckon he could have
doubled back on us?

He could have, Festus.

Why don't you check it out?

We're going up to
Frenchman's Pond.

[ECHOING]You don't
want to do that, Newly.

Newly O'Brien, that's your name.

Isn't it?

Newly O'Brien.

And you live in Dodge City
in the state of Kansas.

Now, that's right.

Isn't it?

[gunshot]

[ECHOING]You don't
really want to kill me.

That's twice you fired at me.

You could have hit
me either time.

You don't really
want to do that.

Do you?

Doctor!

Doctor!

I heard the shots!
Newly!

[ECHOING]Stay calm, Festus.

[ECHOING]Newly, you don't
want to shoot nobody.

What are you doing
with that there gun?

[ECHOING]Be careful?

[ECHOING]I'll be careful.

Old Newly and me, we've been
good friends for a long spell.

Ain't we, Newly?

He's your friend too.

Fact is, he's a doctor.

The only thing he wants
to do is to help you,

and get that bullet out of you.

Don't you see, Newly?

Now, what would
old Doc Adams say

if he was to see you like this?

See, it was old
Doc Adams that sent

this here doctor to do
the doctoring for him

whilst he's away.

Recollect what he
said in that letter?

He wanted us to treat him
just like one of the family.

Remember that?

All right then, if you want to
just stand there flat-footed

and bleeding all over the
floor, it's all right with me.

That there is the smartest
thing you ever done, Newly.

Let's get him up on the table.

How is he, Doctor?

Festus, when I remove
the dressing here,

I want you to take
this razor and shave

the hair around his head wound.

His head?

You ain't fixing to do that now.

Are you?

Festus, please don't
question me anymore.

Ain't just getting the bullet
out enough for one time?

There may not be another time.

I want you to look at these.

You're going to have to help me.

Oh, I can't.

You can.

And you will.

When I call for these, I want
you to hand them to me fast.

You understand that?

Fast and steady.

This is a burr.

I'm going to use this to drill.

This is called a probe.

Do you understand that?

Yes, sir.

He's in here, Matthew.

The doctor has been
operating most of the night.

How is he, Doctor?

I won't know till he wakes up.

He's had a great deal
done to his body.

But he's an
amazingly strong boy.

We just have to hope for
the best, hope for the best.

Festus, is he going
to be all right?

Marshal, will you get
these men out of here?

Now, what he needs right now
is rest, instead of a lot

of people hanging around him.

Boys.

Doctor, you know, you're
right about the men and all.

But you got to
understand one thing.

They think a lot of Newly.

They've been out there all
night searching around, wading

in the mud, trying to help.

Gentlemen, does anybody
here have a cigarette?

Anybody have a match?

Thank you.

You know, every man has to feel
that what he does is important,

that it be more important
than what anybody else does.

Sometimes we feel
that what we do

is so very important, we
forget about other people,

and how they might feel.

Now, we doctors
are a special lot.

You know that.

Life and death surrounds us.

And we tend to feel
that we are the most

important people in this world.

And it's only what we
do, and how we feel,

that really matters.

But that's a long
way from being true.

Isn't it?

What Newly needs right now
more than anything else

is to have his
friends around him.

So why don't you all go on
back in there and sit with him,

have a little coffee?

And that's the closest thing
you'll ever get to an apology.

His color is better,
pulse is steady.

I'd say he's a
little bit stronger.

Marshal, Festus.

Gentlemen, I'd say we've
all done a good night's work.

[music playing]

Morning, Miss Kitty, Matthew.

Morning, Festus.

Festus.

Coffee's hot if you want some.

Yes'm, I believe I will, and
the hotter the better, too.

I'll teLL you something.

My [inaudible]
just been twinging

up something fierce on me.

You ought to have Dr.
Chapman take a look at it.

He might have just
the thing for it.

I have a feeling that just the
thing is right behind the bar.

Oh, much obliged, Miss Kittie.

I believe I will.

Did I offer?

I didn't hear you.

But, then, my ears
aren't as good as his.

Well, if it ain't Dr.
Chapman and a stranger.

Here, let me help you there.

Newly, come on, sit down.

Just take her slow and easy.

Well, I'd tell my
feet what to do.

But it seems like they
got a mind of their own.

It's no time at all since
we operated on you, son.

You're lucky to
have the eyes open.

Well, I'll tell something, Dob.

These here Dodge folks
is a tough breed.

I can believe it.

How you feeling, Newly?

I hurt in more places
than I knew I had,

Miss Kitty, but otherwise fine.

How about some coffee?

How did you, Dr. Chapman?

I sure hope this
is on the house,

because I hear I don't
have a gun shop anymore.

Oh, it is, and you do.

Newly, a whole bunch
of the folks in town

got together-- oh,
Festus, Sam, Burt,

Mr. Lathrop, lot of people.

They rebuilt your shop.

Even Matt and Dr. Chapman,
they hammered a bit.

I appreciate it.

You folks are
mighty good friends.

Fiddle, newly, like
us Haggens always say,

a feller can't choose his
relation nor his neighbors.

But he can blame sure
pick his friends.

And you better do
a good job of it.

Well, I did.

Didn't I?

We did.

Festus, now I believe
I'm going to have

that drink you offered me.

Oh, well, you
see, Doctor, when I

was offering to buy
you that drink, see,

that was right after payday.

But-- but now, uh--

You mean you're broke?

Just flatter than a
snake through a ringer.

Well, then, why don't you
allow me the honor of buying

us all a drink to celebrate?

Oh, we sure wouldn't
want to hurt your feelings

by refusing you, would we?

Why, thank you, Festus.

Don't mind, Miss Kitty.

No, I'll get it.
-I tell you one thing.

He's sure learned a heap
since he's been here in Dodge.

I think he's had a
pretty good teacher.

Don't you?

Now, in New Orleans, this
is what we call Cafe Royal.

In Dodge, we call
it Haggen charm.
