Sundown

Down dark city and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the spell of gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved west with young America, the story of a man who moved with it, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal.

I think it was the nastiest weather I'd ever seen. It wasn't that there'd been a big storm or anything, it was just plain nasty. nasty. The sun hadn't shown for three and a half weeks. Nothing but huge banks of black clobs that fill the sky and never move. And when it finally broke it was a dawn pour of

the coldest and drearyest rain you ever saw. For two days Chester and I never went out of the office. We didn't need to. There was nothing going on in town. There wasn't a soul on the streets. Everybody just holed up. Chester and I kept the fire going in the stove and tried to keep as warm as we could.

And then on the morning of the third day. Mr. Dillon? Mr. Dillon? Wake up, Mr. Dillon. Well, what is it, Chester? What's the matter, huh? Come over here and look out the wind. All right.

Goodness, say you're alive. Oh, what's the matter? What's happening? It just looks. It stopped raining. The clouds are beginning to blow away. All right, I bet you we'll be seeing the sun before the day is over.

Well, I hope you're right. We could use a little sunshine. We sure could. You know, Mr. Dillon, I've been so blue for the last couple of days. I've been... Oh, I boiled some coffee for you, Tom Stove.
