 Around Dodge City and in the territory on West there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers and smoke The story of the violence that moved West with young America and the story of a man who moved with it I'm that man Matt Dillon the United States Marshal The first man they look for and the last they want to meet It's a chance a job And it makes a man watchful And a little lonely And sick of Bonnie don't hardly get a chance to take his boot up And you think a man didn't have no call to sleep. Never mind Chester. I'll take care of it. All right. Thank you, Mr. Dillon Yeah, I'd like to see the Marshal. I'm the Marshal come in My name is Cassius make you I'm sorry to disturb you with this hour. Mr. Dillon Matt Dillon. That's all right, Mr. Mayhew Won't you sit on? Thank you How can I do for you? My journey westward has been interrupted by the illness of my life. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that and I'm gravely worried I was taking her through a dry climate for her health. That's the purpose of the trip Seems to me Mr. Mayhew that you need a doctor more than you need a Marshal Yes, I I was hoping you'd be able to put me in touch with one. Oh, sure. I can dark Adam's a very good friend of mine I'll go rouse him out for you right now. Oh, uh, Martin Dillon. Yeah The There's another purpose for my visit to your office. Oh Well, what's that? This suitcase I'd be obliged if you'd keep it for me Keep it locked up. I mean There's something valuable on that. I take it. Yes, there is All the family treasures that we were able to bring on our journey They they mean a lot to Mrs. Mayhew. I Feel better if they were kept here. Well, I suppose I can do that for you You will Know how long you're gonna be in touch. Well, that depends on my wife and your doctor Marshal Well, yeah, I'll take care of this suitcase for you and I'll go get dark Adams, too I go ahead dark eat up Chester told me that he had three helpings of that stew Well, that's no recommendation Chester's got four stomachs like a camera And it doesn't look as bad as all that dark not as bad as usual anyway, maybe not man I'm not very hungry. I want to get back up to the Dodge house to see Mrs. Mayhew. No, how's how's she getting on? Good man a bit still can't travel in We knew me a long time before she's able to head west How's the old man taking it? Take me hard man. No, he's the soul of devotion and taking care of his wife Nobody could be kinder and more patient But it's clear to me that he's mighty anxious to move on He uh, he trying to hurry your doc so you will say that she can travel. Oh, no. No, no He's too fond of her to do anything like that. I Can just kind of sense it though after all you can't blame him. It's Yeah, I would expect to find the Marshal in his office in the middle of the day But Marshall has a right to eat his dinner. That's all right, doc Who are you? My name is Henry Brails and I'd like a word with you in private I'll be going along man. I'll take your time doc. Take your time. No, I'm late now Unless you need me now doc, you go ahead. I'll see you later Okay, mr. Brails, what do you want and office is the proper place to transact business if you don't have anything to say to me You're wasting both our time. All right, Marshal, but we'll have to go to your office anyway. Oh, what for? Right open the suitcase, of course Are we gonna open the suitcase? Why certainly the suitcase left with you by Cassius may hear the other night No But go on mr. Brails. You seem to have this all worked out. Well, it's perfectly simple Marshall Cassius may hear is my brother-in-law He left the family home very suddenly to take this trip. I followed him I want to be sure that he's not making up with some of the things that belong to me Mrs. Mayhew is your sister. She is did you know that she's a very sick woman? So I understand You haven't been to see her. No, Marshal When I accosted Mayhew and he told me you had the suitcase. I felt it was important to see you at once Now if you come with me and we can open it just a minute Brails. I Can save you the walk. What do you mean? I'm not gonna open that suitcase unless Mayhew himself tells me to do it But I tell you I have a right to see what's in there. I'm a member of the family You're not acting much like one. Well, I certainly am sounds to me like you're more interested in the suitcase and then your sister Marshal it is your duty. It's my duty to protect property around here including anything left in my care Now you better go on mr. Brails. I want to finish my dinner, but the law you let me worry about the law, huh?

Never mind Chester Tell me what happens Oh man Well as you don't know I was there at the desk You know talking to Mr. Dobie about trying to buy one of his hotel tillers off of his mind getting off of his mind All right to go on just Oh well this is Teller Brails come in and he tells Mr. Dobie he wants to know what room is Miss Mayhew in What did Dobie tell him? No sir he didn't he was late in the hall and he was noting that Mayhew was terrible sick So he tried to tell Brails to come back in the morning But Brails wouldn't leave Not by a jug full of he would he kept right on it Mr. Dobie and then first you know Mr. Mayhew come out on the landing Brails seen him start heading up the stairs and that's when I come for you All right Chester let's go in All right sir you keep me from saying my sister I'm going in that room I will go check the necessity of shooting you Henry Mr. Mayhew is going in a little danger Yeah hold it up there You better put that gun down Mr. Mayhew I demand to see my sister He should have picked up funny time for it He has no right to keep her locked up in a strange town Not letting her be seen by a member of her own family I am protecting her health Marshall I don't intend to allow her to be distressed by anyone You mean you don't want to ask any questions about what's in that suitcase that's what you mean Get down those stairs Brails I wouldn't want to have to push you This is outrageous treatment Marshall It'll get a lot more outrageous if you don't do what I say and I go on get out of here I'll go for now But no country Marshall is going to deprive me of my rights I'll be back you can count on that I'll be here Thanks for your assistance Marshall Dillon You spared my wife an ugly scene Yeah And I think I'd keep that derringer in my pocket if I were you I'm not a shooting man Marshall I've never even owned a pistol before But Mrs. Mayhew thought I might need protection on the journey Yeah Well Sometimes a man needs protection from his own gun Mr. Mayhew Yes Marshall I understand It will not happen again You're right outside of her door I tell you this means you won Now I don't blame you Tucker I'm sorry it happened I've been meaning to talk to you about Mrs. Mayhew though I'm glad you came by Well I can only tell you that she's a very sick woman Too sick to talk to me Well too sick to talk to anyone But no where would you have to say to her Dark this whole business is a little hard to understand One half of a family against the other half Brails accusing Mayhew and Mayhew keeping him off at gunpoint I thought maybe Mrs. Mayhew could give me a couple of answers to a couple of questions So that I could get Brails out of here for good Maybe she could now but I couldn't be responsible for what it might do to her I mean outside her door last night almost finished her off Alright Doc never mind Thank you Drop the mail Mr. Mayhew Oh Doc Chester how are you We're gone long enough to write some of it Chester Oh I was noticing things Man can't hurry yourself when he's noticing No of course not And what did you find to notice this morning Oh man there's lots of things going on one place We find out Marshall Dillon you can go get the suitcase now we've come to open it This is Sheriff Dyer from St. Louis Hello Sheriff Marshall you're a long way from home Sheriff The suitcase is right inside right inside the Marshall's office Mr. Brails I'll handle this that's what I've come to do Well handle it then You've come all the way from St. Louis about that suitcase Yes Marshall Dillon I had my office received telegram I bet you did I don't deny sending it Maybe I should explain a little further Both Mr. Brails and Mr. Mayhew are from old St. Louis families I've known them personally for years And you probably know that Mrs. Mayhew is a very sick woman And indeed I do Now here are my credentials You don't mind let's you and me have a look at that suitcase You know that Mayhew doesn't want Brails to open it Now Mr. Brails won't be opening it Marshall we will Alright then come on inside Now the suitcases are back You'll stay here Brails But I think it would be best if you followed Marshall Dillon's advice Mr. Brails Come on Sheriff Suitcases in here Got a couple of keys and I think it'll fit This one fits it'll open Some way valuable the Brails was talking about But that looks like an awful lot of money to me It should be just about twenty thousand dollars You're telling me this isn't Mayhew's money He worked in the same bank in St. Louis for many years Marshall He left in kind of a hurry Yeah he told me his wife was sick And this money disappeared on the same day Oh I see I'm sorry I'm really sorry Mr. Mayhew was a highly respected man It's hard to blame a man for trying to save his wife isn't it It is for a fact Well Marshall shall we go across the street I've got a right to know it There's nothing here that concerns you Mr. Brails That money Cassius stole all I knew there was something wrong I was right I bet you feel fine about this Mr. Brails I think it better go Marshall I'll go with you As Marshall Dillon said this does not concern you I have a right to confront him As you wanted to confront your dying sister Will you stay away from me Brails From now on I want to see Mayhew Doc I don't want to bother his wife You can't She's dead Cass
