around dot
that day and in the territory on west there's just one way to handle the
killers of the spoilers
and that's what the u.s. martial and the fellow gun
spoke
starring william conrad
the story of the violence
the story of a man who moved with it
matt billin united states martial
middleman
i've been thinking
we are renovate display
uh... blasted chester
what's the matter
on nothing i was trying to write and listen to you at the same time that's all
we can't be done
marco
yeah what's the matter with you
i'm
we was walking i thought he'd been shot
no
and i was so you're drunk before we
well would you like a little coffee is some
as my god
now lock me up
rock me up
you mean you want to sleep in jail
you keep my good
any blankets other just
don't know that's enough
okay we
just follow just
marco
i've come here to prevent a killer
i'm drunk enough to want to kill them and i'm sober enough to know i'm too
drunk to kill
to kill holy
him salt
is he in town too
the texas
and stay there
he'd not hear
right in there
i never saw mister dargan like that before mister dylan
one of what he was fighting was sold her about
maybe soler started it maybe he's drunk too
now if he is knowing him he'll be after someone else to fight with now
i think i'll go take a look just like
our test there
lee wakes up just uh...
give him another drinker
i'll come here alone
being alone is a bad math
sometimes
by your drink now
and i'll say jim soler anywhere
i wouldn't complain about that
well then he was here
setting right where you are
and he'll be back any minute
a drunken security
i isn't very drunk
might be an improvement
it'd break his heart to hear you talk like that
if he has one
here he comes now
i'm asking
you look sober enough
you move in fast martial
so that's all that
seems as though it's my table i will
i uh...
ran into the lead dorgan
he was pretty mad about something
that's on now
but it's all right as long as you're not looking for trouble
me martial
i never look for trouble
either does lead
now you know those seven martial they're always getting insulted about some you've
been forming on leaves ranch for over a year now so
that's the first time he's
wanted to kill you
that what he said
that's what i heard him say
martial leaves a little bad luck with his cattle that's all
we had a drink or two and he's someone to blame it on
you know how does it is green on
how is it
word from me what never many causes you've got
i lost a few strays is all upset
well as long as it doesn't end in gunplay
all mainly get along fine when he's sober yeah you'll have to leave math i'm
afraid so
and i'm going to bed and what about it you can't do that says i can't mister
and i think that
good night
uh...
mighta nice of you to bring me all that coffee
don't mention it mister dargan
i had a hangover once myself here's your gun
thank you martial
you uh...
still feel like
killing jim salter
uh... killing a man cheats me
that's how i was brought up that's how i am
so i guess it's
just instinct tells me i'm
being robbed by a martial
i've got no proof at all
and whatsoever
what is it later church cattle tell a upright
i came out here from alabama eighteen months ago
i bought a ranch and kind of raised beef
i learned a little but i can see it takes years to be a cattleman
meantime i'm green and i'm an easy mark but i'm not so dumb i can't count
martial i've branded over three hundred care last spring and fall and more than
half of my mission right now
stolen
i don't know
i've asked every ranch and every buyer around here to be on the lookout for my
brand and hadn't turned up one what do you think so there has anything to do
with it
instinct i told you
i just don't trust
not more but it's enough
and why don't you fire him
pride that's a pool
i want to be in his own game
whatever it is
well
good luck at italy
and i need more and look more for uh... and i need a little help
is don't know enough about this business
are you asking me to help you
but how come out to the rain she take a look around maybe you see some i can't
see well i don't know where i'm running again tomorrow market come out there and
you you've got to help me i've been
i'll be ruined if this goes on anymore
all right we are calm
but uh...
will you promise me one thing
if solter does prove to be guilty
you won't try to kill him
and promise it
i respect the law market but i got my own cold too
thanks just now wait a minute leave
here stubborn but i
don't think it is there being ruled
all right i'll come
you know the reason i got drunk last night because uh...
felt
mighty
mad
it
i know the feeling
good morning marshal dylan morning mister peter and what can i do for you
this morning
well uh... i'm interested in some brands that you got registered here
or you don't mean to tell me that
you're going into the cattle business marshal
no not likely
i just want to see what new brands have been registered in the past
all twelve and thirteen months with the city of the marshal
there
that's the official brand book for the last two years
uh... thank you you can start anywhere you like it
well uh... maybe you remember mister peters
as jim solter got a brand registered
and solteria jim solter
the fellow who works for the dog and that's right
last
july i believe look there why
yeah yeah
solid james solter july fourteenth
bar as it that's it the bar as yes indeed
how's he doing
uh... fine mister peters finer
thanks for the help who anytime marshal anytime at all
that's what i'm paid for her goodbye
goodbye marshal
when we weren't working most of the cattle buyers and town spent their time
drinking party and tell them lies at the dot jobs
and there i learned that a number of bar as calves have been sold in the fall
some more of them this spring
they remembered because it was not from a man sold only calves and
also because the brands were newly burned on
but they said the brands were clean and there was no question of any previous
marking having been altered
i think it's all there was a whole lot smarter than the ordinary rustler
the next day i found out just how smart
it's really got their brandon fire set far enough part of the film and i have
here's jim solter now
first bar
i don't know
uh... tell you later
you don't have to stop work just because we're here so that
that's all right mark
abiturism brand that one
you just have to cut him out and rope him again
irons cold anyway
i got another and then the fire
will get a brandon marshal
what are you doing out there anyway how i needed to change the scenery so we
thought we'd pay leo visit
working the fire down yonder
insured to keep your fire separated
anything else you fellas object to
well now i want to get
i was just making an entirely impersonal observation that's all
go do your job and only you came to see him
i'd start from the death right around you you sure what just
see you later march
yeah
okay i don't bring it up
is marked that solter
and he's just me
police that to just
you
dot something figured out that you're doing
i got it all figured out
solter stealing cattle all right and i just how he's doing it
but the problem now is how to handle lead to our government
code of his
i wouldn't want to say we have a good
sir
i'm sure that we're going to need it
uh...
all right
uh...
finally
about through with the day why don't you write on down the house
okay
along directly
we stopped by solter's fire back there
well-to-do and fine
that tell me something we the solter always work alone with those same two
cowboys
think of it he does why
i was just curious
we'll see at the house late
go on
tell the cook i'll bring them up
separate ready when we get there
all right i'll do that
not a bad house mister dargans got here mister dylan that's fine
listen on the porch are just a very long song
mister dylan
i've given up
figure it out about solter you just have to explain it
well
i told you he's sold fresh branded calves under the bar as market is not registered
lows release calves
jimmy here of using a cold brand
cold brand yes
you can either put it on through a wet blanket or you can just keep the iron
hot enough to burn hair and press it down lightly so it won't scorch the
hide
looks like a fine brand for a few months
that isn't totally cap sheds
well i'll be down gone
and then the caps is unmarked as the date got dropped
you can branded at leisure with any market appeals to you like a
bar rest for example
well that's what solter's been doing
and he was about to put a cold iron on that calf awhile ago when we rode up
sure sure
he works at a distance from dorgan because the other cowboys have noticed
right away what he's up to
and poorly he's sure right about being green at this business
he's gonna learn now mister dylan
now
no chester i can't tell him
well why not
we meant it when he said he'd kill soler if he had any proof
if he did that he'd be worse off than he is now
well then why don't you just arrest that man judge had let him off i'm afraid
cold brand can be laid to carelessness
course we could wait a couple of months and catch him doing his bar as brandon
that's risky too
what are you going to do
i don't know chester
but i'll have to figure some of them on it
we will return to the second act of guns mo in just a moment but first
there's a lifeline that stretches from here to korea
a lifeline that you help sustain for our fighting man when you give blood to the
red cross blood donor program
call the red cross for an appointment to give blood the first thing monday
morning
now
the second act
of guns mo
and you'll understand it more
doesn't make any sense to me you know i asked for help so all right i'll do you
say
then call solter over here and tell them
okay mark
all right
all that
mobile
what do you want to hear what already late this morning
i'm going to make a change in our brandon set up for a
i've decided to be faster from now on we all work from one fire instead of two
what for
you and adams and smith or work alongside the rest of us that's all
who's idea is this anyway
those are my orders
you still talk like a confederate colonel
that'll do
this for you are shown
and i would like you anyway
it must have been pretty hard on solter that day having to put a permanent brandon
dorgan's calves with a good hot iron
but he had no choice
but no interest and i said goodbye and wrote back to dodge
i figured that would be the end of these trouble
two nights later about back and i were taking our ease at the out for a ganzar
found out i was wrong
uh... it's like that
cowboy got a letter from his sweet girlfriend in saint louis mad
how i thought what did the letters say well
she mentioned that she found a nice room
with running water yeah running water
uh... exodus uncivilized
some of the prairie wrote her back to
get rid of that indian at once are engaged with the law
is he thought that i read it what
and you understand that i'm not too bad
well that the next drinks on you could talk to you about your and what you get
it as the bartender for a couple of good things i really like the truth i think
it would fit out of the fact
i thought you left me dot and then out of his room
just came in the door
must be looking for you to come this way
uh... and resign
or
uh... all day
sit down
or doc
what are you doing in tony all through brandon
where through
how'd it go
take a look at this blanket moshall
so marked up
and show it
and it's burned with my brand all over
what'd you find this way
one of my men was right about the place where salt on his
had his brandon farm offer was called
they have buried
he showed it to you
that's it
and he explained all about cold brandon at the same time
where's sultan al
and he got wind of the onto a left marker i think you can dodge those to
work with him adams smith
and uh...
you're looking for and i'm looking for
but i'm telling you so she can look to
at blank it's no evidence even for the law i figure along with the witnesses
of the convict him
but uh...
i'll find emily
better hurry moshall
i might find him first late
you'll stand trial if you're killing
i'm not worried about that
long
why didn't you take his gun
so they couldn't get any trouble
it just find another one back
he's a mighty determined man
i'll uh... take that drink another time dot i got work to do
sure that i don't have favor would you drop this blanket off at the office for
me all you've got your life
good luck
yeah thanks

mister dylan

his black

and uh...
but we're going in after him
easy
the entrance to kelly stable was open
there was no light showing
just on i stepped quickly around the frame of the door
and we stopped just inside
waiting for our eyes to get used to the darkness
i could hear voices in the back where the men were settling up
suddenly we both saw it at the same time
the first time you know
it's much of dark
they hung
and they just did that he can't be dead yet
take my knife and cutting down
