Speaker 1: Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshall and the smell of
guns smoke guns Starry William Conrad, The story of the
violence that moved west with Young America, and the story of.
Speaker 2: A man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon,
United States Marshall, the first man they look for and
the less they want to meet. It's a chancey job
and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
Speaker 3: Chester, Oh Chester, was you saying something, mister doing?
Speaker 4: What is that?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Well, this is a.
Speaker 2: Duck call I ordered all the way from Saint Louis.
Speaker 5: It's just come in the mail.
Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like any duck I ever heard. Oh he's
gone keys.
Speaker 5: See any duck that here just comes right at you.
Speaker 2: You better be careful. We don't want to jail over
run with them.
Speaker 5: Oh well, they ain't nothing around yet, but they're just
about due when they start coming through. I'm gonna get
down there and then bushes longer with a shotgun and
this thing, and mister Donne, we're gonna be eating roast duck.
Speaker 2: Every day for three months. I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 5: Chester takes kind of a Matt boone. Now it takes
a little letter practice, and I got it down exact yet.
Speaker 4: But I will.
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, Oh, come in listen. You're Marshall doing. Yeah, that's right.
I am Cyrus Tiger Marshall. Possibly you've heard of me.
I'm afraid not. But what can I do for you?
Missus Tagger? You can give me your complete cooperation. Oh,
I have here and a photograph of a young lady.
I have reason to believe she is in Dodge Citty.
Go on, mister Taggard, Suppose she is here. She's my daughter,
Evy Taggert. She ran away from home nearly a year ago,
and she has made it very difficult to find her.
If you do find her, I shall take her back
to New York with me. Naturally, assume from your partner's
exclamation that you do know her, not by that name
as well. She has used a number of false names
during the past year. Very well, you will take me
to her at once. How old is your daughter, mister Taggart,
twenty four? And then she's of legal age. Suppose she
won't go back with you, Marshall. The target enterprises include railroads,
several banks, and finance companies, along with mining and cattle interests.
I with my father and my grandfather before me, did
not acquire them by tolerating interference with our wishes. Now,
why did she run away in the first place? Because
she's a wilful, headstrong little fool. Marshall, We're wasting time,
mister Taggart. I'm not gonna take you to her, not
just yet. May I remind your enterprises, sir, don't inclothe
the United States Marshal's office. I imagine my influence could
extend that far if you compelled me to use it.
You do as you'll like, But I'm going to talk
to the girl first. I'm gonna find out what she
wants to do. What she wants is a no go forte,
mister Taggart. She keeps pretty late, houred what you're doing?
Speaker 4: Maybe she ain't up yet?
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe nothing. No Marshall, Chester morning, Patsy or uh,
I guess it's Ev Taggart now.
Speaker 5: Is Oh he's here huh mm hmm over the Dutch house.
Speaker 2: He says he's come to take you tight girl.
Speaker 6: Come on in. It wouldn't do any good to run
not now.
Speaker 2: Thought I heard you talking to no you know girl,
Alden Dunge Marshall, Now Blackjack, don't you over the golden
horn part time? That's right? What's the trouble, Marshall.
Speaker 7: My father's here Bru, finally caught up with me.
Speaker 2: What of it? You're over twenty one. He can't do nothing.
Speaker 6: You don't know him.
Speaker 5: What can he do?
Speaker 2: Marshall.
Speaker 5: She's got a right to live her life the way
she wants, isn't she.
Speaker 2: As far as the law is concerned. And he may
try other ways.
Speaker 7: He will, he'll do anything.
Speaker 5: I know He'll be sorry if he tries anything.
Speaker 2: I'll stick with you.
Speaker 4: You know that.
Speaker 6: I know, girl, But I know how he can be.
Speaker 5: That's why I never wanted.
Speaker 6: Him to find me.
Speaker 2: Are you sure that you don't want to go back
with him either?
Speaker 4: Of course?
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's a rough life. You're leading here, working
on a long branch, having to put up with any
man who comes along, who's got the price of a
drink anything.
Speaker 6: It'd be better than going back home.
Speaker 2: You don't know what it was like, Marshall.
Speaker 6: I don't really matter to him.
Speaker 5: I never did.
Speaker 6: Just the family name he cares about. Wait, I'll excuse it.
I'm not going back.
Speaker 2: He says, you are, and I'd say he's used to
getting his own.
Speaker 6: Way, no matter what I have to do. I'm not
going back, no matter what.
Speaker 8: Sam, the men back of the Federale table one another round.
Speaker 5: When he gets sham that much, you take.
Speaker 4: It back to him.
Speaker 8: How about Kitty, I'm mad I didn't see you come in.
Speaker 2: He looked busy, so I kept quiet.
Speaker 6: You know, I just assumed you hadn't come in tonight, maatter.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I can always have a beer up a street.
Speaker 8: No, it says that I did something this even that
I hate myself for amen.
Speaker 2: Ow, what's it all about.
Speaker 8: Well, that girl Patsy who's been working here the last
few months.
Speaker 2: You know who she is, man, Yeah, her name's ev Taggert.
Their father came up from the East yesterday.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I met him. Do you know he's trying
to force her to go back to New York with him. Oh,
he didn't waste any time going into action. He just
sent a few telegrams East and I did I did what. Well,
mister Budkin came over from the bank this afternoon. He
was real apologetic, but he had orders from the big
bank back he that holds part of his stock.
Speaker 2: Oh, one of Taggart's banks.
Speaker 8: Yeah, either I fired ev or bucking it calling our loan.
And just a half hour later I got a telegram
from my wholesale in Kansas City, fire EV or pay
up all I can simon accounts. Immediately I let her
go on, Mat, I had to.
Speaker 2: He couldn't do much of anything else, could you want?
Speaker 8: I've got my partner to think about the girls. You
can't find an army bare handed.
Speaker 2: There's no reason I feel guilty, Kitty. He didn't have
much choice.
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't clean. The life she's leading here is
very good, but good or bad at at least what
she wants to do.
Speaker 2: And she'll have the rights you. Our rights are pretty
hard things to hang on to sometimes.
Speaker 5: Oh, well, there'd been any other way.
Speaker 4: So he scared you off.
Speaker 5: You started the ball rolling down. Nobody will hire and
take it easy, Burl. For whose side are you on anyway?
Speaker 2: Marshall? There's no law against what Tiger did, Burl, and
Kitty didn't have any choice. She had to go along
with it.
Speaker 5: The words out all over town.
Speaker 2: Nobody will give her a job. They're a pree to
his money.
Speaker 6: Well, I got reason to be.
Speaker 5: He's trying to starve her out. He thinks he'll get
her back home that way. Now, let's worked before, when
they won't this time, we'll figure some way to beat
that old Butzon, why don't you support her?
Speaker 2: Mister Rowland, I assume you are burl Old.
Speaker 5: I guess you're Tagget.
Speaker 2: That's correct. As I said, why don't you support her?
I understand she's been supporting you for several months.
Speaker 4: That's a lie.
Speaker 2: I got a job, yes it's part time. But you've
been taking money from her, haven't him?
Speaker 6: With loans?
Speaker 2: What are you getting that anyway? The fact that you're
an utterly worthless loafer who lives off the earnings of
a woman. Why you dirty old? All right, burrow that's
no he thinks he's talking to Can I give you
a handless to Taggert? No, thank you? It would seem
it would seem to me that it's your job to
prevent such occurrences martial ar. I even sign a complaint
if you like, No thank you, I have something rather
more drastic in mind. Good evening, gentlemen, that's the cold
fish sports. He talking about Marshall. He can't do nothing
to me. I wouldn't better.
Speaker 4: On that girl, your mooning back. I love that.
Speaker 5: Come on in, Oh, Chest in Heaven says, put that
thing away.
Speaker 2: Now there's some coffee on the top of the stove.
I don't guarantee it though, I duck made it. Oh
well then I passed.
Speaker 5: Oh you drunk it plenty times before, and it never
hurts none.
Speaker 2: A man's luck runs out. Chest, pull up a chair, dock, no, no, no,
I have a good time, man.
Speaker 5: I don't have a plush line seed with the public
trough like some people.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 5: That's a professional man like miss Health has to get
out and scramble if he wants to keep bodying.
Speaker 4: Dok.
Speaker 2: The only time I ever seen you scrambles when Sam
Nordan says one on the houseboys for.
Speaker 5: Two cents, I wouldn't even tell you what I knew.
Speaker 2: All right, what do you know, Doc?
Speaker 5: Oh, you get to use evidence a year. You're starting
to sing a different tool now, Doc, it's a fine
thing when I have to do your job alone with
my own just out of the times. To my heart, Doc,
he's going to be a killing killing, you know, because
I keep my mouth shut and my ears open. You
know a gunman name of Bill Jacks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been around town for a month or so.
They say that.
Speaker 5: Old man Tagger has hired him to kill bur Alden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what Taggart meant about. Something more dressing.
Speaker 5: Is Anyway, I've done all the brain work for you,
and I'll go on out in the restaurant.
Speaker 2: On what charge?
Speaker 4: Doc?
Speaker 2: They'll both deny it.
Speaker 5: Well, you're just gonna sit there and let it happen.
Speaker 2: I know I listened to suggestions, Doc, but in the
long run it will probably come to just that. It's
Matt Dulan. Let me in.
Speaker 5: Eighty eight Here, Marshall, she went down to the Chinaman's
to bring some grut.
Speaker 2: I hear the one I want to see Burl? All right,
come on, Ian, what is it?
Speaker 4: What do you want?
Speaker 2: Barl? You made a bad enemy. When you're knocked old
man taggered down, I'll knock him down seven days a
week if he don't stay away from how he'll stay away?
All right? But the man he's hired, the kid you want?
What are you talking about? The words out that he's offered,
No Jack's two thousand dollars to put you on boot Hill.
Speaker 5: But you gotta do something, Marshall, And I know about Jack's.
Speaker 2: You got to rest you. You got no proof Burrow
or I can doos warn you?
Speaker 5: Well, then then I gotta get out of here. I
gotta get out of town right now. I'll get a
horse from Mars Grinnick and heads out.
Speaker 2: So what about Eve, Evie?
Speaker 5: She'd be better off back home anyway. Oh, I see
we're hitting the tray on the run.
Speaker 2: That ain't no kind of a life for a woman.
You think the long branches any better? And you got
no call to talk like that?
Speaker 6: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Evie?
Speaker 2: You tell her? Marshall, where you going? So you see
that he's gone, go.
Speaker 4: On the way.
Speaker 6: What do you mean here?
Speaker 2: You f there hired a gunman to kill him.
Speaker 7: So Birth's getting out, running away, leaving me.
Speaker 2: And I guess a lot of men of that that
same way, under the circumstances.
Speaker 6: Don't try any excuses for a Marshal and the kind
he is I've known all along.
Speaker 7: Oh the life I've been living the last years, and
it's a very pretty one.
Speaker 4: And I did it.
Speaker 7: I guess I've done it on purpose, sunk as low
as I could.
Speaker 6: It's a way of hitting back at my father.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it works that way. Sometimes.
Speaker 6: Wasn't a very pretty life at home either.
Speaker 2: Marshall, I guess not Bert wouldn't have turned you to this.
Speaker 4: I'd kill it.
Speaker 7: At least an'll get that stuffed Bill doesn't deserve dying.
Speaker 6: He's he's just to t what he years and that's
all he claims to be.
Speaker 7: There's no reason he should pay.
Speaker 2: But my father is going to.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna see that he pays.
Speaker 2: Pays how.
Speaker 7: I don't know exactly, but he's going to. He's gonna
pay for things once and for all.
Speaker 2: Oh, don't to me like either one of them. Make
them show up, miss young how they might not ches sir, Well,
I know his tacker had bought two tickets back east
on this afternoon's train. That's rare.
Speaker 5: I never thought he would give in and.
Speaker 2: Go back with him. And he's a hard man to be.
He's just a dog bunch. And the way he goes
around feeding people and gets by with it, you know,
I get by with it forever. Just to if you
keep pushing people around, sooner or later you're gonna push
one up Moretta too far. I don't speak of the
devil's young yeah, and by himself too. Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Nice of you to drop around to see us off us,
mister Taggert. Oh, my daughter is just looking after some
detail of her lucky she'll be along. As much as
I hate to disappoint you, Marshall, I would have disappointed me.
It's none of my business, soom not officially, of course.
I imagine you did the hold a certain personal opinion. Yeah,
I still do as matter of fact. Indeed, so judge,
such as I think you're making a big mistake taking
that girl back against her will. I sure why I'm
using those black jacket or monocles. It amounts to that.
Why don't you give her a chance, mister Taggert. You
can get her out of Dodge if you want, away
from what she's been doing. But why don't you let
her live her own life. She will live precisely as
I tell her to live, Marshall, It won't work that way,
mister Taggert. You can't treat people like horses. You can't
own people, Marshall. I'll go an empire on the principle
of owning people. I own hundreds of the body and soul, rock,
stock and bottle. I call the tomb and they dance,
and she will dance with them. You ready call it
quite what he might be.
Speaker 6: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Gooday, gentlemen, goodbye, good lucky.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Monsel, good die. I think we may meet
again soon.
Speaker 2: Come along, Evey.
Speaker 5: Yes, just look in there, just look how he book
her students feels he's going along meat to the line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks that way. Well, what's he doing here?
That's Bill Jackson.
Speaker 5: Jax.
Speaker 2: There's nothing for us to talk about, right and all
that jo Yeah, put you about trying, jack Shall drop
your gun around.
Speaker 9: Fine, you're going, mister young.
Speaker 2: Your father's dead too, wee.
Speaker 5: Father?
Speaker 2: So this is how he was supposed to pay? Huh?
Speaker 6: You know what you mean, Marshall.
Speaker 7: Father had a disagreement over the price on Burl's head.
Speaker 2: What price did you put on your father's head?
Speaker 4: Evan?
Speaker 2: How much were you gonna pay Bill Jacks for this?
Speaker 6: You can't prove a thing, not a thing.
Speaker 2: We'll let the judge. They said that. I don't care.
Speaker 7: As long as he finally lost.
Speaker 2: But father.
Speaker 7: Sure doesn't know anybody, now, does he?
