 The round-dodge city and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful. And a little lonely. The day's the day. I don't want to do it. Well, now you mustn't waste time, Raz. The stagecoach from Hay City to Dodge will be going past James Cross and then you'll miss it. Oh, ma. I've got breakfast all ready for you, son. You can start out with a nice hot stomach. Ma, I ain't got the heart for it. Raz, you're 16 now. You've got to get your hand in sometime, you know? Your pa'll be getting out soon. We have to have something to show him for all his years in there. Ma, I just plain don't want to rob a stagecoach. Oh, now, Raz. That's no way to talk. This is a chance for you to get started. It's high time for you to be thinking about your future boy. Ma, I ain't got the juice for it, I tell you. Well, you fair shame me carrying on this way. What if your pa'll was to hear you talk like this, or your big brothers? No chance of them hearing, Ma. Ain't one of them's got less than two years to go. Raz, I've had enough of your foolishness. Now, get up out of that bed and get to that stagecoach. Oh. Good, Fred. I thought you'd like that. Yeah, thanks. I've got bug salad for you too, son. Well, you surely ain't going to walk to a hold up, boy. But you know how spooky bug gets with me, Ma. Get that horse. The horse you like and have done with it. We need another one around here anyway. Can't steal a horse, Ma. Oh, giving you no choice, Raz Hawkins. Chester says, helps the coffee slip down. Chester, don't say what do you hear from him, Ma. Did he ever get the haze? Yeah, he did. I got a telegram last night. He's coming back on the stage. Oh, why? They delivered the papers and the haze. Dad, he was pretty fond of that horse. Hello, Chester's fond of every horse he sees. Get in. I hope he doesn't forget my calico. Calico? I ask him to bring me back what he could. You ask him to be... And he's going to pick it out? Oh, Kitty, don't you know that Chester can hardly tell one color from another? Doesn't matter. I think Doc's right, Kitty. He wears some hollering outfits sometimes. Oh, just so he brings the calico and lots of it. I don't like the colors work. Yeah, I'm sure you will. But, uh, does this office eat you? Yes, I am. Well, I was sure hoping you'd ride up there with me. Well, a poor horse of mine broke his leg and haze ahead. The first time I ever had a shotgun missing you. Oh, well, now, I ain't here on official business or nothing like that. I told you, I just need you to ride back to Dodge City. Now, wait a minute. We ain't even got a pistol on you. Oh, no, I know. You look like... Well, where's your shotgun? What I need on him? I know. You got a couple of revolvers in that suitcase, ain't you? Well, no, I thought that suitcase was a calico for Miss Kitty. She's a friend of mine. A calico? Yeah, well, I got her some real nice... If I'd known that you wasn't riding official like, I'd have refused this run. I told you, my horse broke. I know, but I thought that was just talk, part of a plan to make you be in here. Naturally, he said he didn't want to call attention to the money. Who said? Well, the banker in haze. He's sending it to the bank in Dodge. See who you are? All right, everybody. Load up. We're moving out. What money is the bank sending to Dodge? $20,000. $20,000? Well, Mr. Dobbs, the worst outlaws in the country will be after us if the word has gone out. That's just what I know. Come on, let's get up on the box there. And then hold teachers. Hang on there, no more in a young... Quick on that trigger. Come on, hurry. That's your leopard. What did I tell you, sir? He knew about the gold all the time. He ain't giving you that. Mr. Dobbs, don't do that. Don't watch it and things in there. We're up here about this. He sure is going to come after you, long term. There. Take it. Man, that thing's heavy, ain't it? It'll take both hands. Let's get started. What are you going to do with me? We can walk it, take part. Walk? Well, I don't know where a buck is. Buck? Well, there's two men just to probably a whole gang covering us from somewhere. Come on, you. Mr. Dobbs, you see that Miss Kitty gets your call. Go ahead and tell Mr. Dillon to be sure. Sure, and tell Mr. Dillon to be sure. Come on, pick up that bag and start moving. Well, this is crazy. It's a ball. That's my home. I'm all to have some beat. You got to look in the bag, mom. You're done, Rad. Help up the stagecoach. That's what he done, man. What? Oh, not another word out of you, Rad. Buck's your head. Oh, I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble, Mr. Proudfoot. Proudfoot, yes, ma'am. No, he ain't troubled me too much. He done his fair share of totem. He's just that I ain't used to walking in these boots. Rad, don't stand there. Get a chair for Mr. Proudfoot. Aren't you going to look in the bag, ma'am? Yes, sir. I'll fix you a nice supper before you go, Mr. Proudfoot. Maybe it'll help you to forgive my son for what he's done. Well, forgiving won't be up to me, ma'am. Be more up to the bank people. Bank people? Yes, ma'am. They're the ones sending the money. May I see that bag, Mr. Proudfoot? Of course you can't hear, ma'am. You see, ma'am, they're awful pretty. Rad, so close. You better give me that girl. I'll hold it so nobody gets hurt. Just a minute. You're beat. You, like you, maybe I'd be better at this game. Just talk, Doc. Plain ordinary talk. Yeah, when Chester gets back, I can start winning again. Don't put the board away. He should be in here any minute now. The stage just came in. He's just been held up. The banker and he's were sending it to Dodge City. But Chester was on that stage. Where is he? Well, they got him too, Marshal. Took him with him. Of course he met guns. What are you going to do, Marshal? How many men were there? I only saw one, but I think there was a man named Buck hid out somewhere. Matt, give me a rifle. You stay here, Doc. I'm not asking you. I'm telling you, Matt. Me like he was going to, he had an awful serious look on his face. I've got a plan. For what? For killing him. Ma, we ain't going to kill Chester. Keep your voice down. Listen to me, son. That's money. Just walk away from here. Oh, isn't he right to kill somebody? Raz, don't make it any harder than it is. Him looking at me with them big, sad eyes of his. Now here's what I want you to do. Me? You ain't expecting me to do it? Don't be so selfish, Raz. Think of your pa and the boys coming home to all that money while we never have to steal a solitary scent again. Well, I ain't never going to steal again anyway. Raz. No, Ma. I never went against you before, but I am now. Jumper. No, I tell you. My son is abounding to obey his ma. Not in something like this, he ain't. We've never done killing before and we ain't going to start with Chester. And it looks like I'll have to do it myself. Why can't we work for a living like everybody? Pretty good to be ashamed to waste all that food. Mr. Alphawasen. I don't know, Doc, but we'll follow these steps as far as... Anything you don't see, just ask Chester. Well, thank you. Like I said, Mr. Dillon really needs me. I was coming back from Hayes City after taking some legal documents over for him, you know. I sure wish I could get a job like that. So do I, Raz. Oh, now, Raz will make out, Miss Hawkins. I'll just take this money and everything back, and when Mr. Dillon hears how Raz didn't know he was stealing the bank's money, why, if I ask him, he'll just come on out and talk to Raz. He more didn't say nothing about bank money. Raz? Yes. Especially when I tell Mr. Dillon what a nice mama Raz has got. You know, ma'am, I didn't ever get to know my mama. Chester. She died when I was just a teen, ain't she, little fella? Chester. You know something, Miss Hawkins? From what I can remember, she is a good deal like you. Here, Chester. Take the gun. Oh, you've been keeping it from Raz. Now, ma'am, that ain't necessary. No more I figure he's kindly seen to life. Raz, get him out of here. Well, what did I do? Chester. Oh, hi. Hi, Princess. Oh, Mr. Dillon, everything is all right. I got the money from the bank, the watches, and everything is settin' right there on the table. Now, ain't you glad? Yeah, I'm glad, Chester. Ma'am, the marshals come to take me away like you did loose and sad. Hello, Eddie. I might've known you'd come, Matt. You two know each other? Dark. Chester, take Raz outside. Oh, yes, ma'am. Come on, Chester. All right. I was hoping you had. Didn't you put Pa on the boys away? I've been waitin' on Raz, waitin' for him to grow up, but looks like I waited too long. Eddie, I want you... Matt, don't preach to me. Oh, you win, in a way. Because poor Raz won't ever be any more than he is right now. Then you'll let him be himself. Only Raz could bring home $20,000 and a marshals assistant at the same time. And you'll let him be. Oh, I'll let him be. How much you've had? I'll drop by once in a while, though, just to make sure. It wouldn't be you if you didn't. Eddie, I was at the window when you... when you changed your mind about shootings. Matt, did you ever take a good look at him? He's safe wherever he goes. Look, Eddie, I'm gonna tell him in dodge that the holdup man dropped his loot making a getaway. Now I can get the money to the bank and the watches back to the passengers. Well, I didn't think I'd ever thank you, Matt, but Raz, well, he's all I got left now. That's not why I'm doing it, Eddie. Thank you, Matt Dillon. Can I serve you a cup of hot coffee before you go? No, thanks, Eddie. Eddie, the satchel. Oh, dear.
