Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast,

a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC.

And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives.

So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it.

Asking where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and plenty more.

So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices,

and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Gunsmoke, brought to you by Chesterfield, made the modern way with Accu-ray, smoother, cooler, best for you.

Around Dodge 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 smell of gunsmoke.

Gunsmoke, starring William Conrad, the transcribed 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, 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.

Oh, man.

Matt, got time for a drink?

Well, I go with you, sir.

Good, good.

And the long branch is closest.

Let's go in there.

Okay.

Some people say it doesn't look good for a doctor to be seen in a saloon.

Especially in the daytime.

Oh, then you believe it, too?

Oh, no, no, not me.

I look on doctors as almost human.

Almost human.

Oh, almost human.

Well, that's mighty terrible of you.

I'll figure that the next time you come crawling around with your throat cutter

or with a bullet.

You don't feel better when you get your drink, Doc.

Yeah.

I don't feel better when I talk to kids.

Hello, Doc.

Matt.

Hello, Kitty.

It's a pleasure to see you, Kitty.

It's a real pleasure.

Well, thanks, Doc.

Sam, a bottle and two glasses.

What do you, Doc?

I'm buying the lady a drink.

You sure you haven't had enough already, Doc?

Oh, no.

Just because you're not used to men who act like gentlemen.

I think he's talking about me, Kitty.

Yeah, I figured that.

What are you two been arguing about this time?

Well, I don't know.

I've been working up to an argument, Kitty.

Well, somebody else here seems to be doing that.

Oh.

Yeah.

A cowboy at the end of the bar.

Oh, what about it?

I heard him telling Sam he's got a pack horse outside.

Loaded with ammunition.

Well, there's no harm in that.

He said it'd kill Kenzin's with Doc.

Oh, what did he mean, Kitty?

I don't know that.

But he's awful mad about something.

I'll be back in a minute.

Oh, no, no.

Be careful.

I'll be back in a minute.

Hello, home.

My name is Dylan.

I'm the marshal here.

My name is Jim Houghton.

I wish I'd never heard of Kansas.

Oh, where are you from?

Dean or River?

Texas.

I'm Texas.

He's staying here long.

Long enough to finish his drink.

And since your son knows you, I'll tell you.

I'm with nine other Texans.

We've got 2,000 ahead of cattle six days drive from here.

They're branded cross R and Jack Ravens Trail Boss.

Anything else you want to know?

Yeah, there's something else.

All of the men in that outfit got that backs up like you have.

Don't you worry about us, marshal wheelhandle things.

Well, that ammunition they sent you for.

What's going on down there, anyway?

You Texans can't take you.

I don't you want to tell me about it, Hought,

because I don't trust you no more not trust any Kansas.

And why don't you finish your drink?

Because I'm going to ride back with you.

Come on.

Stop.

Hit the start.

Stop.

Start smoking with a smile, with just your feet.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop smoking with a smile.

I don't know what else to do.

Stop smoking with a smile, with just your feet.

Stop smoking with a smile.

Stop smoking with a smile.

with Chesterfield, with the cooler milder Chesterfield,

put a smile in your smoke and just hear from a dry.

Chesterfield is best for you.

They satisfy you.

If you want tomorrow's better cigarette today,

next time you buy cigarettes, stop.

Remember only Chesterfield is made the modern way with Accure.

You'll notice how fresh and good Chesterfields made with Accure taste,

how smooth they are and how they satisfy.

So buy Chesterfield today, smoother, cooler, best for you.

Jim Hoyt didn't like it much, but I got Chester and we settled up in road south with him.

Nobody said a word the whole day.

And that night Chester and I spelled each other,

keeping awake so his Hoyt wouldn't slip out on us.

He knew what we were doing, and of course he just stretched out on the ground

and enjoyed a good night's rest.

It was late the next afternoon,

and soon after we crossed the Simmeron that we ran into the cross,

our herd, met him down for the night.

We rode around it, after the chuck wagon fire and dismounted.

Jack Ravens, a trail boss, Marshall,

and that's him reading against that wagon study.

Let's go talk to him.

You tell him how you got here so as you'll know who to get mad at.

I'll do that, Hoyt.

Then the first word Hoyt said in the last ten months.

I guess he's been saving his strength.

What for?

I don't know, maybe the boss here will tell us.

Yeah, he don't shoot us for you.

He looks down on you and friendly to me.

Jack Raven?

That's me.

My name is Matt Dylan.

This Chester Probefoot.

I do.

Howdy.

I'm a US Marshall Raven.

Dodge?

Uh-huh.

Is your first time up the trail?

First time for any of it.

Well, Jim Hoyt didn't tell me much.

He didn't want me down here at all.

And why'd you come?

I got curious about that ammunition.

You're sending the Dodge for him.

Some log against it?

That depends on what you aim to use it for.

We aim to kill Kansas with it, Marshall.

Uh-huh.

You got any particular Kansas in mind?

I am particular.

You tell me that's your first trip up here,

the first trip for any of you, huh?

What's that got to do with it?

You lost many cattle?

I lost all I'm going to.

How many?

Some 20-30 head?

Sandfeed?

Two of them.

How did that get started?

Men?

Men out there waving blankets they set fire to in the night.

And it wasn't engines, neither.

We've seen them, but we couldn't chase them or go shooting at them

or we'd lost the whole herd.

Why did you send Hoyt for ammunition?

You're going to start shooting next time?

We're short ammunition, Marshall.

Next time it happens, we thought maybe with some of us take off

a few days, do a little hunt.

I see.

I want to get this herd to Dodge.

I want to get it sold.

Then we're riding back this way.

And shoot anybody that come across, is that it?

Like I said, I ain't particular, Marshall.

Not about Kansas, I ain't.

Tell me something, Raven.

Do you ever hear of Jay Hawkers?

No.

Their outlaws, Raven.

Their murderers, criminals.

Their men who started riding on the Missouri border during the war

and they got the taste of blood in their mouths.

Now it's like they got no place to go.

So they're out after anything in sight.

They cause a lot of trouble.

And why don't you stop them?

We try.

Don't forget the ordinary Ken's and the H.J. Hawkers

as much as you do.

But what do they want?

What good should do them to stampede my herd?

You'll find out what they want, they'll let you know.

And I want to stay here to help you when they do.

I don't know whether I trust you or not.

I guess you'll have to find that one out too, Raven.

Yeah, I'll find it out.

I got work to do now.

I don't know if the cook will feed the Ken's as men,

but you can go ask him.

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on?

What?

What is it, Chester?

It's almost daylight.

Oh, yeah.

I guess we better get up.

I didn't hear a thing all night.

I slept right through.

Well, I've been at stampede, you know, heard it, Chester.

And then J. Hawkers.

Hey, baby.

What's going on?

Yeah, what?

Look down, you're riding that horse.

That's Jim Hoyt.

The horse is closed.

And look, he's all bloodied up.

They're having to help him get down off his horse.

There's Jack Raven.

Yeah.

What inward youth pose happened?

He didn't get those marks on his back from a fall.

Take a look at Jim Hoyt, Marshall.

Take a good look.

Where they catch your horse?

I come, you know anybody caught me, Marshall.

That's a good question.

I do, you know.

I says, happen before it's one of their methods.

They'll take Ken's as men.

My fancy name for a bunch of murder and devils.

You were on guard and they sneak up on you.

That's a way to...

They strip me and flog me.

Then they give me a message for me.

They want money, huh?

I got 2,000 head of cattle, Marshall.

If I pay them J. Hawkers, two dollars ahead,

they say there won't be no more trouble.

By sundown.

They want that money by sundown.

You're going to pay it, Raven?

I'd rather lose a whole herd.

We'll ride guard and payers tonight.

There won't be any more beatings.

I hope there's no shooting them.

Cattle are ready to run most anything by now.

We'd like to ride with you, Raven.

I might trust you, Marshall.

I don't know.

But the men wouldn't.

They'd never stand for it.

All right.

We're going to be around.

We're not leaving here.

You better keep pretty close to camp.

You might get yourself killed if you stray very far.

Spooky music.

Spooky music.

Spooky music.

Spooky music.

Spooky cuisine.

Spooky music.

Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a long time

reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure

out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week

trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia,

Listen. Listen to an electronic miracle. This electronic miracle acuré means

that everything from auto tires to apple pie, battleship steel to baby food, butter to cigarettes

can be made better and safer for you. Now, Mr. Bert Cho, brilliant young president of

industrial nucleotides, overt exactly what is acuré.

Well, Jargeet is devised by which a stream of electrons passes through and analyzes

the product while it is actually being made. They transmit what they see to this electronic

brain, which adjust the production machinery for errors down to millions of an inch.

One more question, one that so many people ask me. How does acuré make chest revealed

a better cigarette than was ever possible before?

This cigarette made with acuré control contains a more precise measure of perfectly packed

tobaccos, so chest reveals smoke smoother without hotspots or a hard drum. And that's why

chest revealed tastes so much better. I guess that's why you smoke them yourself, Bert.

You see, I know what acuré can do. Well, there's your answer. If you want tomorrow's

better cigarette today, next time, stop. Remember. Only chest revealed is made the modern

way with acuré. Best for you.

I took Raven's advice and chester and I stayed with a chug wagon all that day. But when

the herd was bedded down about dusk, we settled up and rode out a camp. Raven had his men

standing guard by twos, all right? And he had the herd lion on a plane that apparently

nobody could approach without being seen him idle or so off. We scotted the landal dark.

And just as the moon was coming up, we found what I've been hoping for. A deep gully about

a half a mile from the herd. The contour of the land made it difficult to see unless you

were almost on top of it. And I picked it as the most likely approach the jay huckers

of use. We hit our horses at the bottom and then climbed back out.

That's a long golly machine. M.J. huckers could ride out of it most anywhere for a mile or so.

Now they could, chester, but right in here is where it's closes to the herd. We better lie down.

You know, I've been thinking, Mr. Dillon. There's only two us. Might go hard if we have to shoot it out,

but maybe it doesn't, man. And I'm hoping I won't be able to shoot at all. You know, the most

half mouth, mad herd, had not a bother him very much. Had a bother him. Like Raven said, those

cattle are ready to run at anything. Well, if we can't shoot, how are we going to stop them,

jay huckers? Almost to that kind of coward, chester. We surprise them. Maybe we can scare them into

dropping their guns. You'll be that. I'm gambling on it anyway. We start a stampede by getting

into a gun battle over here. Those Texans aren't going to treat us any better than they would

be. They got some cause to be, chester. Well, they got no cause.

Listen, somebody in the gun. They're right down there, Mr. Dillon. They can climb it out in a

minute. Not if we're on top of them. Come on. Don't do any shootmen unless I do. No, I'm quiet

now. Too much moon right over there. The stampede from here. All we got to do is spread

out along this ghost and start shooting. No matter where you call the Texans.

Let's spread out a little, Joseph. We'll crawl right up on top of them. Come on.

We're long ways off. We've set up enough right to fire them, cattle, stampede, sure.

I'll have the hand so full chasing them. They won't have time to worry us.

You know what I think? You better do what he says. We're all around here.

All right, Chester, give it to them.

One of them is getting away, Mr. Dillon. Will we chase him?

No, let him go, Chester. We got the other three.

Are you sure it did put up a fight, didn't we?

Yeah. I kind of miss judge. I'd be in cowards and quitting.

Yeah, that's a cattle. We started another stampede after all.

Come on, we better go help him.

Now, they're out of the other way. We'd never get anywhere near them.

The Texans are going to be mighty men.

Yeah, and mostly at us.

They left the J-hawkers right where they died. Road slowly back to camp.

Nobody was there, but the cook. So we sat on and waited.

We waited three or four hours before any riders showed up.

And when they did, they weren't exactly friendly.

They stood around at a distance and watched us as though they were guarding a couple of prisoners.

Finally, Jim Hoyt walked over to us.

It was you done all that shooting, Marshall.

Some of it, yeah.

I was shooting, too. Well, the man wants to hang you.

Oh, is that so?

We seen you riding around and know what you was up to, but we sure found out.

Didn't we, man?

Hey, Woody.

Brian, are you just looking here?

Take it easy.

There's four of us here now.

You're going to put up a fight.

I don't blame you for being mad, Hoyt.

Now the rest of you.

But that's no excuse to be talking about lynching an enemy.

We ain't talking, Marshall. We're going to do it.

Wouldn't you like to know why we were doing the shooting?

We know all we need to know.

Don't buckle him, guns both.

Use your head, Hoyt.

He's Jack Reed.

We're even ain't going to stop us.

Let's go on here.

We're about to hang us a couple of cans in the Raven.

That's what I figured. Don't aim to have no interference.

All right.

I'll give you any.

Good.

I want to tell you something first, though.

Say it out.

I was kind of curious about it.

So I wrote over to where those two did all that shooting.

You know what I found?

A bunch of empty cartridges.

I found three dead men, Hoyt, laying in a gully.

You what?

No, I don't know what these here, J. Hawkers, is supposed to look like.

But then three men I found.

That's how they ought to look.

It's for true Reed.

It's true.

Well, I guess I've been a little...

...hotheaded.

I didn't trust some Marshall either.

Not at first.

Well, Lane, you've done our work for us, Marshall.

It was you, too.

Found them devils and faced them.

I forgot it, Hoyt, it's over.

I don't think you'll be bothered anymore.

Say, Marshall, me and Hoyt and the men...

Well, we've had a bad trip.

When we get to Dodge, we'll maybe want to kick up our heels a little.

I was short of gunplay, Raven.

This is one out fit that can hurt Dodge all at once.

Now, what do you get there?

The first bottle's on me.

If you want tomorrow's better cigarette today...

...next time you buy cigarettes, stop.

Remember, only Chesterfield is made the modern way with Accuré.

You'll notice how fresh and good Chesterfield is.
