-Starring James Arness
as Matt Dillon.

- Yeah.

- Hello, Doc.

- About what I figured.
- What's that?

- Well, that you'd be sitting
there, just taking it easy.

- [ Chuckles ]
Taking it easy, huh?

Been a wife beating and
three street fights since noon.

- I don't know what it's gonna
take to convince you...

-Get away...
- Sounds like the fourth one.

- You're the most unreasonable
man I've ever dealt with.

- You ain't got no dealings
with me,

and you ain't gonna.
Now get out of my way!

- You don't sound like a man
with his back to the wall.

You know,
a few more weeks of this,

and you and the others around
here will be begging me to buy.

- All right. Hold on here.
That's enough.

- What's going on?
- Ben?

- It was his doing.
His people will vouch for that.

- Well, Ben here swung first,
Marshal.

But this fellow, he's a layout.

- Ben, what about it?

- Nothing, Matt.

- All right, boys. That's all.

Break it up, now.
Let's move along.

What's this all about?

- My name is Trainer, Marshal,
Norman Trainer.

I'm from St. Louis.

I'm in Dodge on business.

In fact,
I just got off the train.

- Land business?

- Why, yes.
How'd you come to know that?

- I've been marshal of this town
for 13 years, Mr. Trainer.

I've seen a lot of droughts.

And many times, I've seen
land speculators come in

and try to take advantage
of the situation.

- Sir, I'm a businessman.

I have letters of reference.

And I've got a letter of credit
drawn on a sizable account.

- Uh-huh. You tried
to talk Ben Akins here

out of his ranch,
I suppose, huh?

- He's one of the handful

I intended
to discuss matters with.

- Well, people here
are a little touchy

about selling their property

that they've spent years
developing.

- That's been made quite clear.
- Well,

maybe you better keep it in mind
when you talk to the others.

- I'll do that, Marshal.

If for any reason,
you want to contact me,

I'll be in the Dodge House.

- Ben, how do you feel?

- I'm all right, Matt.
- Look.

Why don't you come on up to the
office, have a cup of coffee?

- It might cool you off.
- Thanks.

- When's it gonna end, Matt?

- When's it gonna rain?

- There's no denying it, Matt.

I'm just about at the end
of the stream.

- Ben, you lived
through that dry spell of '68.

You'll live through this one.

- It's a dry spell in Dodge.

It's a drought out there.

- Well, you're not gonna
give up your ranch.

- Of course not.

- Ben, your pa
would turn over in his grave

if you ever sold that ranch.

- Well, I tell you this much,
Doc. I wish to high heaven

he'd have left it to Dave
to manage instead of me.

- Well, now
I know that he's got to you.

- I mean it. What have I got
for the whole 15 years?

Bills, calluses,

an empty bed to sleep in.

- Oh.
Well, I know an awful lot

of farmers that have got bills
and calluses.

But, as to the last one,
that's your own fault.

I happen to know that
the preacher's just been itching

to say the words to you
and Marcie for a long time.

- I know, Doc.

You know
how I feel about Marcie.

But, for me,
it's just as important

not to take on that kind
of responsibility, not yet.

This just isn't the right time.

- Ben, let me tell you
something.

You're a young man.

One of these days,
you're gonna wake up

and wonder where in thunder
all the time went.

Awful lot of life can be missed

just -- just waiting
for the right time.

- Well, I got other things
need looking to now.

We all know I'm not gonna
walk away from the ranch.

So I'll keep my appointment
with Mr. Balkan from the bank.

- Oh.
Is he gonna make you a loan?

- We got him talking about it.

Ed O'Connor, Walt Summers,
Lathrop.

We're gonna have a meeting
with him at his house.

I'll see you later.

Matt, I'm sorry
for the ruckus I caused.

- Forget it.

- If you two are gonna be
over at the Long Branch later,

I'll buy you a beer.

- Sounds good.

- I think I got the price
of one.

- [ Sighs ]

- Uh, can I help you, Mister?

You --
You looking for something?

That sure is a top-notch,
Sunday, go-to-meeting mule

you're riding there.

Withers to haunch, he's
a pearl button bangled billy.

I'm a mule man, myself.

Name's Festus, Festus Haggen.

- Festus, I'm called Mr. Sam'l.

- Sam'l.
Well, that's a good name.

Straight out of the book,
ain't it?

Mr. Sam'l what?

- Sam'l's good enough.

- Yes, sir. I reckon it is.

- I'm, uh --
I'm heading for Long Branch.

- Long Branch?
It's right down --

I'll tell you. With this here
drought we're having,

it just makes a feller thirsty
inside and out, don't it?

Here.
I can show you where it is.

- No need to do that.

Uh, I'm looking for somebody.

- Oh.

- Evening to you, Festus.

- Mr. Sam'l.

[ Both laugh ]

- Oh, now, you are too big
for holding hands.

- How's about a kiss?

- I am gonna tell Ben on you.
- Go ahead.

I always share
with my brother Ben.

- I want to talk
to a girl named Marcie.

- I'll tell her.

- Well, you ask me again,
and I'm gonna tell you.

- Marcie?
- Huh?

- Old-timer over there
asked for you.

- Marcie?
- I'll -- I'll be right back.

- Hello, Marcie.

I've been looking for you.

- Have you?

All these years?

- Gal, don't look at me
like I was trash.

- That's as good a word as any.

- I've done a heap
of thinking on you, I have.

- Now, you listen to me.

Don't you think you can ride
in here and sweet-talk me,

'cause I won't have none of it.

And I won't have folks
here knowing about Sam Bassett.

- Marcie.
- No.

Now, it took a lot of years,
and I took a lot of shame.

I ain't gonna take
no more of it.

Now, you get yourself
out of my life.

- Marcie, please.
- No.

Now I got a life here,
and I've got a man, a good man

who cares for me, a man
this whole town looks up to.

I ain't gonna lose him by having
folks find out who you are.

- Now, t'ain't fair, Marcie.

15 years, I've lived with it.

- So have I,

and I ain't gonna have
no more of it.

You get yourself
out of this town.

I don't want you here.

- Marcie,
you're just too darn popular.

- Yeah. Well, some of 'em
are never too old.

- Well, I can't say
as I blame them.

You know, I was working up
a bit of jealousy there.

- Well, it's not hard to choose
between a young one who's broke

and an old one who's broke.

- Well, this young one
might come up with a pot

full of pesos someday.

- David, you're safe from that.

Your brother Ben,
now, that's another story.

- Yeah.

- I'm late for a meeting.
- Uh-huh.

Well, you tell her hello for me.

- Well, I've got
to have a consolation,

what with you turning
the cold shoulder to me.

- Ms. Kitty?
- Hello, Ben.

- Marcie.

- Ben, what happened to you?

- Oh, I talked to a man
about selling the place.

- Selling the place?

You didn't get the loan.

- No, I didn't get the loan.

I'm sorry, Marcie.

I'll be back in a minute.

- Hey, Kitty.
- Kitty.

- All right, Festus.

- Whew. She sure is a hot one,
ain't she?

- Yeah. Complaining about it
don't make it any cooler either.

- Me and old Doc's
bring you some business.

- Well, good.
What's it gonna be?

- I'll have a beer.
Thanks, Festus.

- What are you thanking me for?

- Well, I usually thank anybody
who buys me a beer.

- I ain't bought you no beer!

- Well, you said you would.
- I never said no such a thing.

- In the street, you said,

"Let's go over to Long Branch
and have a beer!"

- And what did you say?

- Well,
I said that's a good idea.

- There, you see?

- Listen,
you mangy flea-bitten bum!

If you think you're gonna
pull one in --

- All right! All right!
- In this heat, you're gonna --

- All right.
Hush, you old skinflint.

I'll buy you a beer.

- You bet you will.

- Where in tarnation could
I have put that damn thing?

Have to find it, here.

Just --

Huh.

Appears like I've been robbed.

- Oh, he's been robbed, he says.

- I didn't say I was.

I said appears like I was.

Just gonna stand there,
let a feller die of thirst?

- I could've told you before
it was all a waste of time.

- Sure is something

when a bank won't trust honest
and decent men.

- Ed, that's not so.

Mr. Balkan extended himself
as far as he can.

That's all.
- If I don't get another loan,

I'm going under.
And that's that.

- Ed, if it doesn't rain,

every farm
in this county's going under.

- Oh, rain.
I've forgotten what that is.

- Well, it looks like
there ain't gonna be any rain.

And there sure ain't gonna
be any bank loans.

That leaves me
with only one out.

- You mean sell?

By toffee, no, sir.

Besides, who'd want to buy?

- I had an offer today.

- I heard about that.

- There have been times these
hands were raw and bleeding

from holding a plow
16 hours straight.

Up all night in the winter
to keep the stock from freezing

and watching the summer sun
burn them down to bone.

I've worked. I've sweated.

What I've got, I'm not about
to let it go for nothing.

- I never said nothing.

I made you a fair offer.

- A dollar an acre for land
and a dollar a head for stock?

- It costs a lot less
for your place,

and yours, at a tack sale.

- He's right.

- And he's got money.
- Enough to buy out you three.

I'd like your place first,
Mr. Akins.

I'd even raise the price,
say, 50 cents more an acre.

Certainly worth no more unless
there were water on the place,

and there is no water.

- Well, it's only 'cause
you ain't looked for it.

You want water?

I can find it for you.

Been my calling for years,
finding water has.

- Come on.
Come on. Light the lamp.

- Well?

- 10 minutes after you left,
I had us that land.

And a minute after that,
I lost it.

- What are you talking about?

- Some old coot
claims he's a water witch,

and he's offered to find water
for your brother

and those other farmers.

- A water witch?
- That's right.

So now we just have to wait

till that old fake
does all his mumbo-jumbo.

- Why didn't you get
Ben to sell?

You had enough money behind you.

- Now, you hold on, now.

- I've waited too many years
for this chance.

I'm not gonna lose it
on account of your bungling.

If they find water,
I am whipped.

- You believe
in that hocus pocus?

- I've seen it done.

- If you've seen it done,
it's a fluke.

There's water on some land,
and it's found by a lucky guess.

- It ain't no fluke,
and there is water on the ranch.

- What do you mean by that?

- Last year,
when Ben was in Denver,

I brought an engineer in.

- And he told you
there was water on your land?

- He even told me where to dig,

in the hollow
not too far from the barn.

- Well, why didn't you tell me?

You not only want to stick
a knife in your brother,

you figure to swindle me, too?

- It wasn't no swindle!

Our deal was the ranch is mine,

and those other lands
are gonna be yours.

- But nobody will sell
until your brother does,

so we'll try it my way.

- No.

If I had wanted Ben dead,
I wouldn't have dealt you in.

- You just want
to strip him clean, huh?

- I'll give him a job,
$30 a month in keep.

Let him live like I have.

Let him see what it feels like.

I just wish the old man
was still living

so's he could watch it all.

- Well, if we can't
do it my way,

and that old man
is all you think he is,

there's only one thing to do.

- You really believe
you can find water?

- Only 'cause He put it there,
everywhere,

the very first thing
before He even made Man.

"And his spirit moved
across the face of waters."

Genesis 1:2.

- We're drying to dust,
and you're quoting scriptures.

- On account,
that's where it all starts,

right there in the book,

in trusting and believing and --

and knowing that the good Lord
sent me here on purpose

to ease you out of your thirst.

- For a slight consideration,
of course.

- Yes, sir.

$200 for my services.

$5 for every wet hole I find.

Only fair you'll want
to think on it a while.

I'll be at the boarding house
across the street,

first room
at the top of the stairs.

If you mind,

I'll be waiting to talk.

[ Muffled groaning ]

Aah!

- You've been warned, old-timer.

Now get yourself out of town.

- She told me.

No need for her
to do me like this.

[ Knock on door ]

Yeah?

[ Door shuts ]

I thought it was
one of them farmers.

- Yeah, I'll bet you did.

- I was aiming to stay here,
to make me a stake,

what with the drought.

Folks need me here and all.

- The man you were talking to
is my man.

I love him.

And I won't have you hurt him.

Now, you stay away from him.

- I was just aiming to help him.

- Ain't you done enough
to me, Pa?

- Maybe I never knew
just how much

till this night.

- I don't know what that means.

I just know I want you
to get out of this town

before it starts all over again.

- That's years past.

I was innocent.

Judge said so. Everybody knew.

- But you ran off,

and those same everybodies
started talking.

You remember that rhyme, Pa?

I used to go to sleep
hearing it,

and I woke up hearing it.

- I know. I-I heard it

from gold camps to cow towns
and weigh stations in-between.

Why do you suppose
I don't use my last name?

- But you ran away, Pa!

Ma and me,
we had no place to run!

- Marcie, I am sorry.

- "Old Sam Bassett
took a hatchet."

- Oh, not from you!
-"But not for what he should."

- "Chopped up a friend
is what he did

instead of chopping wood."

- Marcie, please!
- You, please!

Please get out of this town!

- I just want to stay here
to get me a stake is all.

- Here.
That's every penny I've saved.

Now, you take it and go.

- You'd pay me to go?

- Yes, if it will do any good.

I can't think of any other way.

- No, I-I can't go now,
and I won't take your money.

I've got to stay and do
what I come here to do.

Man's got to feel for the Word.

It's got to be heeded.

Whether it's a curse
or a blessing,

it's got to be heeded.

Don't you see, Marcie?

These people need me here.

- Well, I've saw a water witch

a many and a many a time,
Matthew.

I recollect when I was
just knee-high to a beetle bug,

my Aunt Tora Heaves

went out and cut
herself an applewood fork.

She went a-walking
out on a piece of ground

that didn't show no more sign
of water

than the back of my hand.

Well, sir,
she started to sashaying around,

directly started to dipping
and a-darting

and a-pulling gee
and a-pulling haw.

And pretty soon, the -- the fork
of that thing

just dipped right down
at the ground.

And she --

- Marshal Dillon,

I got to talk to you.
- What about?

- Huh?
- What about, Louie?

What did you want
to see me about?

- Oh.

I come to say I seen
an old man get beat up.

- You did? Where was this?

- Where?

Uh, uh, uh...

It was in the alley
near the Long Branch.

- Uh-huh. Is he still there?

- No, he's gone.

- He's gone?
Well, where did he go?

- Went to Ma Smalley's.

- Ma Smalley's?

Well, that's where Mr. Sam'l's
staying, Matthew.

- Maybe you better go
and check it out.

- You betcha.

Louie, if this here's

another one of them visions
out of a bottle --

- Wasn't that, Festus.

- All right.

- Now, Louie, did you see
who it was that did this?

Did you recognize any of 'em?

- I didn't, Marshal.

- Well, thanks, Louie.

- All I can say, it's like
putting everything on one cart

to me.

Well, I ain't got it to put,
not $200.

- What if you split it up
between you?

- Well, I guess I can raise
most of my share.

Of course, I would have
to pay Mr. Jonah something

of what I owe him.

Oh, and then there's Hank
at the stable.

- How about me staking you?

- You?

- You're good customers.

I don't want to
lose your business.

- I couldn't do that.

- Well, me neither, Miss Kitty.
I'm obliged, but --

- No buts about it.

You'll sign out,
just like at the bank.

And I'll charge
the same rate of interest.

I'll take the gamble
that we have lots of rain

and you have good crops.

- Ben? Miss Kitty?

- I'll get you a beer, Dave.

- Where you been?
- Well, I was here earlier.

Went out to Liz Foley's place.

- [ Chuckling ] Ah, Dave.
You know, I wish I were you,

I truly do. Look.

You've got youth,
you've got good looks,

and you live like you haven't
got a care in the whole world.

You always have,
and you always will.

- Can't see living no other way,
Mr. O'Connor.

One of Liz's hands told me
you had some trouble, Ben.

- Some.

- Well, there sure ain't much
you share with me, is there?

- Who was it?
- It's all done and past, David.

Miss Kitty, the, uh, loan?

- It's yours, Ben.

- Loan?

- We're gonna hire ourselves
a water witcher,

see if maybe he can find some
on the farm.

- A water witcher?

- Miss Kitty, that's
just good money after bad.

Ben, you don't really think
he can do it, do you?

- Honey, I don't know
whether he can or not.

But it's worth a gamble
for both of us.

- Won't it just
be another disappointment?

- At this stage,
I'm willing to try anything.

- Afraid it was a waste
of your time, Festus.

- Aw, fudge. It wasn't no waste
of time, Mr. Sam'l.

I'm just glad old
Louie was mistooken.

I ought to have known better.

Say, has them fellers from
the Long Branch been up yet?

- Not yet, no.

- Well,
they're fixing to directly.

Now, you mark me on that.

[ Knock on door ]

- Mr. Sam'l?

- Howdy, Ben.

What did I tell you?
Mark me on it.

- Mr. Sam'l, I come
to talk business with you.

I'm putting my last bit
of hope on you.

- Festus hasn't even come back

from talking
to that old man yet.

- You know,
I just been thinking.

If it's true, now,
who would have done it and why?

- Well, you said the old man
was gonna go over

and try to find water
on Ben's land, didn't you?

- Yes. For $200, he was.

- Well, the most logical person

would be somebody
who was superstitious enough

to believe in all this
water witching business

and didn't want Ben
to be able to hold out.

- Well, I'll tell you.

My opinion, that fella
from St. Louis,

that, uh, that Trainer,
he fits that pretty good.

- Uh-huh.

Doc, let me ask you something.

Do you, uh, you go along with
this water witching business?

- Well...

I don't know
whether I do or not.

But it doesn't make
much difference what I think.

I've seen an awful lot of things
happen in my life, Matt,

just because somebody
believed they would.

No explanation for it, either.

I remember, and so do you,

Maggie and Codge Collier's fifth
child, or was it their sixth?

Anyway, that young'un
was awful sick.

And I did everything
I could to save his life,

yet everything
in medical science

said that boy was gonna die.

That is, everything
except Maggie and Codge's belief

that he wouldn't.

And he didn't.

- Yeah. I see what you mean.

[ Gunshots ]

- Matthew?
- Did anybody get hit?

- No, but it sure wasn't
for lack of trying.

- Where did the shots come from?

- Over yonder,
next to Long Branch.

- Festus, is that old fella
all right?

- He says he wasn't
beat up none,

but I'm fixing to have
another talk with him right now.

- Matt?

- Sorry, Kitty.

Trainer, where were you
just a minute ago?

- Hold on there, Marshal.
I'm not gonna stand --

- I asked you a question.

- I've been inside this
establishment for the past hour.

- He's right, Matt.

He's been in here.

- Good night, ma'am.

Night, Marshal.

- I still don't like his looks.

- Trainer.

- Well?
- I missed him.

- You don't say.
- Look, don't snap at me.

- Listen, I'm gonna tell you
what I'll do.

I will walk.

Now, either we do this thing
my way, or I will walk.

- No.

- You got a better way
of getting what you want?

- Look,
what I want is for him to --

- You told me.

Now, when I see him,
I will fill him in on it.

- I don't want to hear about it.

It's your idea.
It'll be your doing, your way.

It's none of mine.

- Matthew?

Mr. Sam'l,
he just as calm as cotton.

He swears
that he wasn't beat up,

owing there ain't a mark on him.

But he don't know
who'd be a-shooting at him.

- Is Ben Akins with him?

- Well, he left
right before the shooting.

He went over to freight office,

then he's going to stable
and then back out to ranch.

- All right.
Check the freight office for me.

- Yeah. But --

[ Gun cocks ]

- Hold it.

- Trainer.

- That leaves one more.

- I don't understand.

- Marshal.

- Willie, get over
to the telegraph office.

Tell Vern I'll be there
in a couple minutes.

- Yes, sir.
- Burke,

tell your boys
to get him over to Percy Crump.

- Matthew?

- Ben, is Dave still
out at the farm?

His life may be in danger.

- He was at Liz Foley's earlier,
but I --

- Festus, see if you
can find him quick.

- I'm gone.

Get out. Get out of the way.
Get out of the way.

- Who is it?

- The only one
I seen wearing fancy clothes

is Trainer, the one
who tried to buy Ben's land.

- I didn't figure on this.

Shootings, killings, beatings.

- Pa, get out, please.

- I can't.

I can help them.

I can find water for them.

- Can you, Pa?

- You know I can.

You seen me
when you was a little girl.

- You seen me.
- Yeah,

I seen you
when I was a little girl.

But I heard about
an old water witch up north

who got run out
of half a dozen towns

because he claimed he could find
water, but he never did.

- That ain't true.

Well, sure, I missed some times.

But nobody can do it every time,
nobody.

You got to have the spirit
moving in you.

You know that, girl.

- Is the spirit
moving in you, Pa?

Is it?

Or are you just stealing
from good and decent men

who are looking to you
as a last hope

of saving something that's taken
them their whole lives to build?

- Good morning, Doc.
- Hey.

- Marcie's on her way out.
- Well, good.

I'm anxious to get out there
and see if old Sam'l

can pull this thing off.

- The whole town is.
- Hello, Marcie.

- Morning, Doc. Miss Kitty,

I want to thank you again
for giving me the time off.

- That's all right.
You just get on out there

and root that water in for Ben.

- All right.
- Let's go.

- Matthew, you just don't know
what it is

to find that young Dave

once he gets it in his head
to go folly foxing around.

- Where all
did you look for him?

- Well, shoot,
I looked every place

there was that I could find to.

I even went out
to Ben's place an hour ago.

Ben said that Dave didn't even
come home last night at all.

- Well, that's not unusual.

Guess we better get started.

Mr. Sam'l, you ready?

- It's an awesome thing,
Marshal.

- What's that?

- Witchin' at times like these

when so much
depends on succeeding.

- Ah, fiddle,
you'll do plum good.

I'll guarantee you you will.

- Appreciate that, Festus.

Wished I felt as sure.

[ Chickens clucking ]

- How'd you like
a nice mess of oats?

Figure we can afford it.

- Price of oats
being what they are,

you better not be
too generous, Dave.

- Ben?
- Who were you expecting?

- W-well, I thought
you'd be out at the hollow,

waiting for Moses
to smite the rock.

- You missed a little excitement
last night.

Matt was looking for you.

- Me?
- Yeah.

That fella Trainer
tried to kill me.

Matt was worried
you might be in danger, too.

He figures there might have been
somebody else in with Trainer.

- There's no reason I can think
of anybody'd want to harm me.

Ben, you know
all this is pure crazy,

getting all these folks out here
and boosting their hopes.

You know we ain't
gonna find no water.

- Well, there's no harm
in letting the old man try.

- You're throwing good money
away, money we ain't even got.

- Well, if there was
something else we can do --

- There is. We could sell.

Save what there is left

and get out of this lousy,
dried-up country.

- Sell to who?
- Well, you had an offer,

that fella from St. Louis.

Now, if he wanted it,
there's got to be others.

- This doesn't work,
we'll see maybe

we can find somebody else.
Now come on, we better go.

Oh, all I've got to do
is feed the mare.

If you'll wait,
we can go down together.

- Yeah, sure.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

- Matter?

- It -- It just don't feel right

for balance, Festus.

- Well, fudge.
There ain't no pull on it yet.

Directly, that's water's

gonna be a-pulling on that
so blame hard

that you ain't gonna have time
to worry about no balancing.

- You sure there ain't
no elm around?

Or peach?

I could do
a whole lot better with peach.

- No, I don't know
about no peach.

Just ain't no orchards
in this part of the country.

- I -- I -- I'd feel
a sight better

with -- with elm.

Uh, can we look, maybe?

I-I can spot an elm
5 miles away.

- Mr. Sam'l,
will you listen to me?

It's just like my Aunt Tora
Heaves used to say,

"If you got the feel for it,

and the spirit's in you,
it's a-gonna happen."

- If the spirit's in you.

- Now, it don't make
a lick of difference

what kind of wood you're using,
not a lick.

- Ben, hey.
- Morning, Mr. Sam'l.

- I've been waiting for you.

- Anytime.

- Make it a good show,
old-timer.

What do you think of all this,
Marshal?

- Well, Dave, I've learned
not to be surprised

at anything that happens.

- Mr. Sam'l, you want me to
kind of shoo everybody back?

- Just so long
as I have wandering room,

it don't make no never mind,
Festus.

- All right, sir.
Just go ahead on.

Show 'em how the cow
eat the cabbage.

- I can't do it.

I got no feel.

It's gone. I --

I got no feeling at all.

- Well, you can try.

- I can't.

Feeling's gone.

- Ah, you never had it!

- He did, too, have it,
and he's still got it.

Go on, show 'em, Mr. Sam'l.

- No.

- That's a lot of money lost.

- It ain't lost.

I'm giving you the money back.

- Ah, well,
it's not just the money.

You promised us.

You promised us
you'd find water.

- O'Connor, leave him be.

- Black blazes, I will, not
after he suckered us like this.

- I said leave him be!

Mr. Sam'l, it's all right.

I didn't really think
it would happen.

- There.

You all wanted me to find it,

but you don't believe.

You don't have faith.

- That's why.
- No, you don't lay it onto us.

- You can do it, Mr. Sam'l.

I know you can.

- Pa...

- He's your father?

- Yes, he's my father.

He can do it.

I seen him.

He can do it now,

just like the times
when I was a little girl, Pa,

when Sam Bassett was
the most famous water witcher

east of the Mississippi.

- Sam Bassett,
the Hatchet Killer?

- Yes, Sam Bassett.

And he's no killer!

- I've heard that rhyme
too many times.

- You remember that rhyme,

but you forget a judge and jury
said he was innocent!

Pa, you show them you can do it.

I know you can.

- You thought my knowing who
he was would make a difference?

Nothing's changed between us.

- Dig right here,
and you'll find your water.

Dig right here.

- Bully for you, Mr. Sam'l!

Get them shovels! Get them on
over here! Let's go to work!

Clean her up,
and get 'em on down here now!

Come on! Hurry up!
Hurry it up now!

Get everything right over here
where...

Come on, Louie.

[ Continues shouting
indistinctly ]

[ Chickens clucking ]

- Where you headed?

- Going to town to celebrate.

Brother Ben's done it again.

- Well, let me give you
a piece of advice.

Why don't you ride on
out of town and just keep going?

- What's the matter with you?
- I just got an answer

to a telegram that I sent
to St. Louis.

That letter of credit
that Trainer had was drawn

on a bank account that you
opened there three years ago,

right after Ben Sr. died.

- I'm losing
all the way around.

But then, I always did
to my big brother.

- Now, I can't prove

that it was you that took
those shots at Mr. Sam'l.

But I'd sure hate for Ben
to find out the truth.

Why don't you ride out of Dodge
and don't ever come back?

- Water! Water! There's water!

[ Men cheering in distance ]

[ All laughing, cheering ]

- Mr. Sam'l, I know'd
that anybody with the gumption

to ride a mule could find water.

And you done her.

- Thank you, Festus.

- I'm proud,

real proud.

- Stay tuned for scenes
from next week's "Gunsmoke."
