BreakDown Gunsmoke 55-64: S1 Episodes 27 & 28 Cooter & The Killer

In Cooter, a mild, slow-witted saloon helper is finally given a job—and a gun—by a cowardly gambler who plans to use him as bait. Marshal Dillon sees the trap but waits for the truth to surface. When betrayal turns deadly, Cooter learns he was never valued, only used, leaving Matt burdened by a justice that saves the town but costs an innocent man dearly. In The Killer, a quiet drifter named Crego kills without warning, preying on men who won’t fight back. With no proof to arrest him, Matt Dillon waits for the mistake he knows will come. When Crego murders again, Matt forces a confrontation on his own terms, ending the threat—and proving that some killers can only be stopped by meeting them face to face.
