- Hello, Ed.
- Where's Doc Holliday?
Over at the hotel, more than likely.
He's been expecting you...
- Get word over there I'm waiting for him.
- No need to do that, Ed.
The whole town knows
you're waiting for him by now.
Before there's another killing...
You just go on serving
your watered-down liquor
and keep out of my business, Shanssey.
Your brother came in here
stinking drunk, spoiling for a fight.
- He drew a gun on Holliday.
- Whiskey, over there.
Have it your way, Ed. Check your guns
if you want to stay here.
Leave the bottle.
You don't stand a chance, Doc.
Bailey brought two men with him.
Oh, come on, honey, let's cut
out of here while there's still time.
The whole town, including that
no-good marshal, is laying for you.
Right or wrong, they're gonna hang you
for another killing. You know it.
Doc.
Oh, you ain't even listening to me.
Now, Kate, Mr Bailey came
all the way from Fort Worth
- to see me on a gentleman's matter.
- Gentleman!
It wouldn't be hospitable for me
to leave town now, would it?
Oh, don't start
that gentleman business with me again.
I mean, it's a pure case of ethics, but...
Well, that's something a person like you
wouldn't understand.
Why do you always have to treat me
like I'm dirt?
You ain't no better than me!
- That's debatable.
- Oh, is it?
You and that magnolia dripping!
Let me tell you something, Doc Holliday.
All them fancy clothes and that smart
talk don't make you no gentleman.
You are dirt, just like me.
And I'm tired of hearing about
that Georgia plantation
and all them lily-white friends of yours!
They're all gone now! They're all gone!
Yes, they are. Here I am with you.
Your family scraped the barrel
after the war wiped them out
just to send you through dental school.
You sure turned out fine.
They'd be real proud of you.
Don't you ever mention my family again.
Please!
Doc, please!
Forget about Bailey. Let's get out
of here while there's still time.
Maybe we could even go to Laredo
like you said,
and do something about that cough
of yours. It's getting worse all the time.
Your concern over my health
touches me deeply.
- You know how I feel about you.
- I know exactly how you feel.
I don't know...
I don't know what I'd do
if anything happened to you.
You'd lose your meal ticket,
wouldn't you?
That ain't nice to say to me, Doc.
I've been good to you, ain't I?
Why don't you think about me
once in a while?
All right, get over to Shanssey's
and tell him I'll be there later.
- Oh, please don't go there.
- Do as I tell you.
I need some money.
Hello, Wyatt.
Cotton Wilson.
Been a long time.
Man, I'm plain wore out.
Hope you got some good news for me.
Ike Clanton rode through here
three days ago, heading east.
Waco, I think.
Johnny Ringo was with him.
Rode through heading east?
You didn't get my telegram.
I got it.
Well, why didn't you hold him?
I had no quarrel with Ike Clanton,
nothing to hold him for.
Nothing to hold him for?
Why, man,
he's got a dozen charges against him.
I played this whole thing
so he'd be forced into Griffin.
I figured if there was one man in Texas
who could stop him, you'd be the man.
Now don't go getting
your blood heated up, Wyatt.
Cotton, it's Wyatt Earp you're talking to.
Ten years ago I watched you walk
single-handed into a saloon
in Oklahoma City and knock out
three of the fastest guns in the territory.
Ten years is a long time ago.
Getting old, I guess.
Anybody ever told me
that Cotton Wilson had gone yellow,
I'd have called him a liar.
You've got no right
to say that to me, Wyatt.
I've bucked heads
with the toughest gangs on the frontier.
Then why didn't you stop Ringo
and Clanton? Well, why didn't you?
If you can't handle it anymore,
turn in your badge!
Turn in my badge.
I've been a lawman for 25 years,
worked every hellhole in the territory.
You know what I got to show for it?
A $12-a-month room in the back of
a cruddy boarding house and a tin star.
Think I like winding up
in a place like this?
It's the end of the line for me, Wyatt.
It'll happen to you some day,
just like it happens to all of us.
- And where is that yellow-livered skunk?
- Slow down, Ed.
Holliday's only trying to rile you.
- What do you figure's keeping Holliday?
- Doc's gonna make him dangle a little.
Wyatt Earp! Why you old son of a gun!
Why didn't you let us know
you was riding into town?
- Good to see you, John.
- Hi, Marshal.
Come on, sit down.
Cigar?
I'll be a son of a gun.
You've sure come a long way
since the railroading days
in Cheyenne.
Ellsworth, Wichita and now Dodge City.
Funny, I never figured you for a lawman.
You was always pretty reckless
and wild.
I never figured myself
for a lawman, either.
- Fix a nice steak for Mr Earp.
- Yes, sir.
My personal stock.
- How are the brothers?
- Fine.
- Virgil and Morgan are married.
- Virgil and Morgan married?
What do you know.
- John, I need some help.
- Anything I can do for you.
Ike Clanton and Johnny Ringo rode
through here three days ago.
They got a dozen counts against them.
I telegraphed Cotton to hold them,
but he crossed me up.
- Cotton's skidded a long way.
- Do you know anything?
I wish I did, but...
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Doc Holliday played poker with him.
Maybe he heard something.
Bartender! Bartender!
Let's have some decent whiskey
around here!
Ed Bailey.
Doc Holliday killed his brother.
The guy was begging for it.
He came in drunk, cheated at cards,
he pulled a gun on Doc.
Did you ever meet Holliday?
We crossed trails once.
He was a dentist then.
You know,
I've yet to see the guy pick a fight.
Trouble just naturally seems to find him.
It's gotten so every would-be gunman
on the frontier
wants the honour of putting him
in Boot Hill.
You know how it is
when a man gets a reputation.
I sure do. Where is Holliday?
I better get to him
while the getting's good.
He's at the hotel.
- Keep that steak warm. I'll be back.
- You ain't missing much. It's longhorn.
Holliday?
Sit down, make yourself at home.
Just like you were invited.
- I don't know if you remember me...
- I remember you. Wyatt Earp.
Pulled a tooth for you 10 years ago.
If I knew when I had you in the chair
what you were gonna turn out to be, I...
I hear you've taken up
a new occupation.
- It's too bad, you were a good dentist.
- My patients didn't like my coughing.
I'd like some information.
The name of this game is solitaire.
I'm in a position to do
a little horse-trading.
Good evening, Mr Earp.
I know something
that would interest you.
You don't know a thing
that would interest me.
Suppose I was to tell you that Ed Bailey
has a small derringer
hidden in his boot?
- Left or right?
- Left.
I'd say that was good information.
Bailey's left-handed.
Ike Clanton and Johnny Ringo
rode through here three days ago.
You played cards with them.
- Which way were they heading?
- Beats me.
I thought we were making a deal.
That's what you said.
I didn't make any deals.
But you know where they went,
don't you?
Look, you're interrupting my game.
Got a real big hate for the law,
haven't you?
There any reason why I shouldn't?
Your brother Morgan ran me
out of Deadwood last year
and impounded $10,000 of my money.
As a matter of fact,
you've got brothers marshalling
all over the frontier, haven't you?
I'll see you again, Holliday,
if you're around.
- What did you find out?
- Not a thing.
It's my hunch they headed
for Tombstone.
Ike's old man has a big ranch there,
but I can't be sure.
Isn't your brother Virgil
a marshal at Tombstone?
That's right.
I sent him a telegram asking him to be
on the lookout for them just in case.
- What are you gonna do?
- There's nothing I can do.
The trail's ice cold.
I'm heading back for Dodge City
in the morning.
- Oh, Mr Holliday.
- Yes?
Would you care
to settle up your bill now?
What I mean, sir, is we didn't know
whether you were checking out or not.
You'll have word in 15 minutes.
Doc, you're walking into a stacked deck.
If Bailey don't get you, the marshal will.
You'd be smart to get out while you can.
You act as if you want to get killed.
Maybe I do.
Holliday, let's check your gun.
Evening, Harry. Usual.
Yes, sir.
I understand there's a gentleman
in from Fort Worth to see me.
This gentleman should have
taught his brother better
than to deal with a marked deck.
Well, if you happen
to see this gentleman,
tell him I'll be waiting for him
at Boot Hill.
He'll have only one direction
to travel from there,
down.
Come to think of it,
he's no gentleman at all.
He's a son of a yellow-bellied sow!
All right, Doc, let's go.
Right on cue.
What's the charge?
- We'll think of one.
- I'm sure you will.
Thanks, Harry.
All right, get him out of here.
It's all over, folks. Break it up.
Come on, step up to the bar.
Free drinks on the house!
Come on,
give me some beer, bartender.
It's always a mess after a killing.
Looks like Doc spoiled everybody's fun.
He's crazy, but he's got nerve though,
plenty of nerve.
Shanssey! Mr Earp!
What are you gonna do about this?
You saw what happened.
They had no right to take Doc off.
They're gonna do something to him.
I know it.
Kate Fisher, friend of Doc's.
He's gonna be framed. You saw it.
Bailey pulled a gun on him.
Wait a minute, Miss Fisher.
Take it easy.
Why don't you just relax
and let the law handle this?
There ain't no law in this town.
I never saw a man beg more
to get his brains blown out.
Please, you gotta help him.
- Doc Holliday is none of my business.
- Please, mister.
I don't want any part of him.
I don't even like him.
I'm sorry. Good night.
Kate, I can have a pair of saddle horses
put 'round back of the hotel.
That's as much as I can do.
With the feeling against Doc,
I wouldn't stay in business 10 minutes
if they knew I'd helped him.
Ten, please.
- Wilson live here?
- Why, no, sir.
They're just holding Doc Holliday
upstairs in his room.
Oh.
- Mr Earp?
- Look, Miss Fisher,
I told you this is none of my business.
I don't care
what you think of me and Doc.
There's a lynch mob starting
across the street.
That's your business, ain't it?
Don't make no difference
whether Doc is right or wrong.
He don't deserve to be hung
by a pack of animals!
You're getting out of here.
Since when have you taken
to rescuing gamblers in distress?
Don't take it personal, Doc.
I just don't like lynchings.
- What are we waiting for?
- Not yet.
I'd say now is a very good time.
Hey, George's barn!
Get the buckets!
That's it.
Get going down the back stairs.
Much obliged, Marshal.
I'll see you in Dodge City
and thank you properly.
You can thank me properly
by staying out of Dodge City.
More water! More water!
Whoa!
How about that?
Can you take me
to Mrs Deeds' boarding house?
- Yes, ma'am.
- I have a trunk and a bag.
Little out of place for Dodge City,
wouldn't you say?
That's strictly big-city stuff.
Looks like she's going to stay a while.
Got a trunk.
I gotta go on a posse.
That's what I came to see you about.
Chief Dull Knife is on a rampage again.
I'm gonna have to borrow your deputies.
You're always short of men.
- Who's the girl?
- Yeah, who's the girl?
Girl? What girl?
Oh.
I was too busy finding out
that Doc Holliday and his lady friend
have just checked in
at the Dodge House.
Doc Holliday?
I told him to keep out of Dodge City.
I'd better get over there
before he unpacks.
- You gonna lend me your deputies?
- Well, all right,
but I'll have to keep Charlie
here with me.
- Giddap!
- You can have the rest of the boys.
Don't forget to get back
before those cattle drives.
You know how business picks up
when the cowpokes hit town.
Mario, go on out and get some fresh air.
The Mayor's Welcoming Committee,
huh?
I thought I told you
to stay out of Dodge City.
I like a sharp razor, don't you?
Care for a shave?
There's a stage for Abilene
in the morning. I want you to be on it.
Can't. The Marshal of Abilene
sent me here.
As a matter of fact, I wish someone
would write you fellows a new speech.
I've had the same one
in the last five towns.
All right, you'll stay
in your hotel room then,
till day after tomorrow.
I'll personally escort you
to the westbound train.
Wyatt, we've got to face a hard fact.
I'm in a state
of complete financial collapse.
I don't even have the price of a ticket.
Shanssey told me you had
quite a bankroll back there in Griffin.
Shanssey ought to know.
He had $10,000 of mine in his safe.
You know what that son of a gun did?
You recall I had to leave town
rather hastily.
Those two horses in back of the hotel
cost me $5,000 apiece.
Now how about that? Towel, please.
Oh, thank you.
Everyone puts such an outlandish value
on my life.
Say, Wyatt,
how much do you earn?
About $100 a month and $2 an arrest?
- You trying to bribe me?
- Oh, no. Not you.
I feel compelled to offer you
an honest business proposition.
That's not bad.
- You got any money saved?
- Some.
Gonna buy a small ranch
or a country store some day, huh?
Well, I'll make it easy for you.
You stake me to $1,000
and I'll split my winnings.
The cowboys are coming
and the stakes will be big.
50-50, huh?
Now, actually,
any number of people would
be glad to back me for 10%%,
but I like you, Wyatt Earp. I like your cut.
Why so generous with the split?
Look, a barber needs this.
You're a lawman, you need a gun.
I'm a gambler.
Money's just a tool of my trade.
Of course,
you will guarantee you won't lose.
I never lose.
You see, poker's played
by desperate men who cherish money.
I don't lose because I have nothing
to lose, including my life. Is it a deal?
Of all the low-down gall.
Well, you're just gonna have to
stake me to a railroad ticket.
Holliday, I've done some foolish things
in my life.
I'm about to do another.
I'm gonna let you stay in town.
Why so generous?
Let's say I like your cut.
You can stay and you can play
on one condition.
No knives, no guns and no killings.
- No knives, no guns, no killings.
- That's it.
- You have my word as a gentleman.
- Just one more thing.
You ought to treat that woman decent
or leave her.
Kate?
Yes, poor old Kate.
She stands for everything I hate
in Doc Holliday.
Oh, leave two bits for the barber,
will you?
Well, I found out all about your lady fair.
- Hey, where'd you get the new gun?
- Buntline made it for me special.
- What lady fair?
- Sure beautiful.
- Isn't that barrel too long?
- No, good balance. Just right.
- What's beautiful?
- Hand-tooled, too, huh?
What are you talking about?
Well, that girl that came in
on the stage day before yesterday.
Oh, yeah, I remember. What about her?
Well, she's staying
over at Mrs Deeds' place.
They tell me she's got a trunk full of the
most elegant clothes you've ever seen.
Some of them dresses
clean from Paris, France.
She's 5'6",
weighs 120 pounds, red hair...
- What is she doing here?
- Gambler.
Very funny.
Well, if you think that's funny,
why don't you take a little walk
over to the Long Branch Saloon?
You'll die laughing.
Hello, Wyatt.
What's the trouble?
Kelly, I'm gonna have to
break up that game.
Can't do that, Wyatt. There's no law
against women gambling.
I know, but every time
there's a woman at the tables,
there's trouble. You know that.
Sorry, game's over.
- Wyatt, this is Laura Denbow.
- Kelly, you're the mayor of this town.
We agreed there'd be
no women gambling on the north side.
Miss Denbow's marker is respected
for $10,000 anywhere in the West.
- We all consider her an exception.
- Not in Dodge City, she isn't.
So you're the famous Wyatt Earp,
lawman, judge and jury.
That's right, Miss Gambler.
Start with you
and we'll have every tramp
on the south side over here.
Who's a tramp?
- Shut up and keep out of this, cowboy.
- You're talking to a lady!
It appears the marshal
hasn't met a lady before.
You're in a saloon,
playing a man's game.
- Why should you be treated like a lady?
- And you ain't no gentleman.
- That's all for tonight, Miss Denbow.
- Take your hands off her!
Hold it, Charlie.
I'm tired of you pushing people around.
Now go for your gun. I'm gonna kill you!
I don't have a gun, cowboy.
I'm unarmed.
Stay where you are!
You're drunk.
You don't know what you're doing.
Now give me that gun
before you get into real trouble.
I don't stand for nobody
talking like that to no lady.
You stand real still
and just give me that gun.
I ain't no gunman.
I couldn't kill anybody.
I know that, cowboy.
You were just trying to impress the lady.
Charlie, take him down and
sober him up and get him out of town.
- You're under arrest.
- For what, Mr Earp?
- You just saw it, disturbing the peace.
- Wait a minute, Wyatt.
It's all right, Mayor Kelly.
The marshal's only trying to
save the good name of Dodge City.
Besides, I might like to
see the inside of a jail.
Don't you think you better wait
for a few of your deputies?
I might be desperate.
I'll let you go if you promise to
do your gambling south of the deadline.
South of the deadline?
No, I think I'll stay.
Perhaps the judge isn't as righteous
as the marshal.
Well, aren't you going to open the door?
Oh, I won't be needing these
while I'm here.
Why don't you buy yourself a new halo?
The one you're wearing's too tight.
Close the door, Marshal.
- Locked her up?
- That's right. Disturbing the peace.
- I could get her out.
- $500 says you can't.
Make it the $1,000 I owe you.
Double or nothing.
It's a bet.
I'll be back in 30 minutes.
- Good evening, Charlie.
- Oh, hiya, Doc.
Man, this 12 on and 12 off
is sure ruining my homework.
I spend half my life
on that darned paperwork.
Care for a nip?
Doc, you know
Wyatt don't allow drinking on duty.
- What's the occasion?
- I'd like to bail out Miss Denbow.
Hit me.
- I got 19.
- 20.
Can't do it, Doc.
She's got to appear in court tomorrow.
No bail's been set yet.
Think I'll stand on these.
Oh, I'll wait for Wyatt.
I sure hope Bat gets back with our
deputies before them cowboys hit town.
- Blackjack!
- I've got one, too.
You know, Doc,
if we was playing for real,
I'd just be compelled to
have a look at that deck.
Oh, I'd be compelled to ask you to try.
Use mine, huh?
Good thing Wyatt don't let us go around
drawing these things.
Somebody might get hurt.
Well, I gotta go have a look
at the prisoners and horses.
- Watch the office for me, will you, Doc?
- Sure thing, Charlie.
Never could get the hang
of these things.
What are you doing here?
Wyatt, I'd like to bail out Miss Denbow.
She happens to be a lady.
No favours, Holliday.
Let's say you release her
in exchange for some information.
You don't know a thing
that would interest me.
Suppose I were to tell you
that Shanghai Pierce
is bringing his herd here.
Shanghai Pierce, huh?
I take it you've had some run-ins
with him.
I had to bat him over the head
once or twice
when he got drunk
and tried to shoot up Wichita.
Not a bad guy, just forgot to grow up.
Well, he's aiming to
shoot up Dodge City
and he's hired Ringo to make sure
you don't spoil his fun.
Oh, and what's more,
he's put a price of $1,000
on your head, dead.
What else is new?
Well, I thought it was kind of amusing,
a price on a lawman's head.
Look, Holliday,
as long as I'm the law here,
not one of those cowpokes is going
to cross that deadline with a gun.
I don't care if his name
is Shanghai Pierce.
Well spoken.
I'll repeat those words at your funeral.
- How about releasing Miss Denbow?
- Nothing doing.
Look, you made a deal.
You made the deal.
I didn't agree to a thing, remember?
- Charlie, you're working for a crook.
- Oh, yeah?
Go on home, Charlie, and turn in.
I'll finish these reports.
Thanks. Everything's quiet.
- Night.
- Night.
Wyatt, you ought to turn her loose.
She's got no business behind bars.
I think Charlie's right.
Let her out.
- Conscience?
- Maybe I like her.
Tell Kelly she's to play in the side room.
I don't want her gambling
on the main floor.
- Good evening, Miss Denbow.
- Good evening, Doc.
Come on, Laura,
we've got business to take care of.
Thank you.
Marshal.
- Good evening, Mr Earp.
- Good evening, Miss Denbow.
Good evening, Mr Earp.
- Pair of deuces.
- I'll check to the lady.
- $50.
- I'll stay.
- Too steep for me.
- I'm in.
$50, and I'll make it $50 more.
- I'm in for the $50.
- Deal.
- Doc, it's almost morning.
- Queen of clubs, jack of spades,
- three tens, three deuces.
- You didn't answer me.
- I'll make it $100.
- Doc!
Go buy yourself a drink.
- And I'll raise you $100.
- Too much for me.
$200 to me, I'll call you.
- I'll go along with the lady.
- Four deuces.
Gentlemen, we've been outclassed.
Thank you, gentlemen.
I think I'll call it a night.
Will you cash me in, Frank? Good night.
Good night, Mayor Kelly.
- Good night, Miss Denbow.
- May I see you home?
No, thank you, Doc. Good night.
Good night.
- Well, how about a little draw, boys?
- All right.
I get a little ante in there and we'II...
Good night.
She's a real lady
and lucky.
That's true.
And what have we here?
Let's see.
Kelly, I need Luke Short.
Ritchie Bell and two of his boys
held up the bank in Salina.
They killed the cashier.
They're heading this way.
I sent Luke to Abilene, Wyatt. I'm sorry.
How soon do you have to pull out?
Right away if I expect to
pick up their trail.
Doggone it, Luke's the only one in town
who can handle a gun.
- What about Charlie Bassett?
- Somebody's gotta mind the town.
Want a gunhand?
You?
No, thanks.
I do handle one pretty well.
The only trouble is
those best able to testify to my aim
aren't around for comment.
- I'll take care of it alone.
- Suit yourself.
Hold up your right hand.
Do you solemnly swear to uphold...
Oh, this is ridiculous.
You're deputized. Grab some gear.
I'll get the horses.
Wait a minute.
Don't I get to wear a tin star?
Not on your life!
Medicine.
For a smart gambler,
you sure play sucker odds.
You're gonna be dead inside of a year.
What do you know
about odds, Preacher?
This kind of cough doesn't go away.
Why don't you get out
of those stinking saloons?
- Pack up and go live in the mountains.
- Not me.
You're just ornery enough
to live to a ripe old age.
No, I'm not gonna
let it drain me out slow.
Sure, play it hard and fast.
Listen, Wyatt, the only thing
I'm really scared of is dying in bed.
I don't want to go little by little.
Someday, somebody's got to
out-shoot me,
and it'll be over with real quick.
Earp, I didn't come along
to hear you preach a sermon.
You know,
I've been wondering about that.
Why did you come?
If I stick around long enough,
sooner or later you've got to
put your head in a noose.
I'm gonna bail you out.
I've only got one debt in this world,
and I don't like owing it to you.
You don't owe me a thing.
I've never needed anybody in my life
and I sure don't need Doc Holliday.
You're pretty positive about that.
As far as I'm concerned, you can get
on your horse and keep riding.
No, thanks. I think I'll stay.
You know, Wyatt, you and I
are pretty much alike, actually.
Both of us live with a gun.
The only difference is that badge.
What's the matter, Preacher,
don't you like being preached at?
Shut up and go to sleep.
Ritchie Bell won't be robbing
any more banks.
- I thought you were asleep.
- No, I figured.
Let's head back to Dodge.
I want to get in a bed.
What for? They're not going anyplace.
Neither are we.
I'm getting some sleep.
Get out of those stinking saloons,
pack up, live in the mountains.
- Charlie.
- Hi.
I'll go in and fix up the coroner's report.
Thanks a lot, Doc.
You and I are even.
Not yet.
Not until the debt's paid in full, Marshal.
I hear you did
some pretty fancy shooting, Doc.
Well, all in a day's work for a deputy.
You all right?
Find Kate and tell her to come up
to the hotel right away, will you?
Kate hasn't been around
for a while, Doc.
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, nobody's seen her
on this side of town since you rode out.
Should I get a doctor?
Morning, Laura.
Oh, I never thought
I'd be glad to see you.
- Something wrong?
- My horse has gone lame.
Right forefoot.
- Hoof's split. Better not ride him in.
- Oh.
Leave him here. He won't go far.
- I'll send the blacksmith out.
- Nice you happened along.
I didn't happen along.
I know you ride out this way every day.
Come on, I'll give you a ride into town.
Unless you'd rather walk six miles.
Better hold on tight.
Tighter.
Doc, what are you doing up
this time of day? It's only 3:00.
I'm on a health bender, up before noon,
take a 20-yard walk.
What's the action here?
Picking up the hardware
as soon as the cowboys hit town.
Sure don't look like
Bat's gonna get back
with our deputies soon enough.
Where's Kate?
Where is she, Charlie?
It's kind of touchy, Doc, I...
I...
Yes?
You promised Wyatt there wouldn't
be any gunplay, Doc. Now you can't...
Where is she, Charlie?
Wiley's Hotel. Ringo blew into town
and Kate's taken up with him.
Sure is a lot of beef coming in here.
This is just the beginning. Wait till the...
Look, Doc, a gunfight right now
could cause Wyatt a lot of trouble,
a lot of trouble!
Sure is a mess of cattle here.
Get out and stay out, you no-good tramp
and don't come back!
So you got homesick.
- Well, well, if it ain't the little deputy.
- You've been gone for three days.
I didn't think you'd notice.
You've been gallivanting
all over the country with Mr Virtue.
I was sick, Kate. I needed you.
Why don't you put a rope
around my neck
and pull on it when you want me?
Can't stay away.
Just can't stay away, can you?
Oh, leave me alone, Doc.
Always got to crawl back to your gutter.
Maybe I wouldn't
if you ever noticed I was alive!
What difference does it make to you
where I go or who I take up with?
Shut up!
Get your things together, you're leaving.
She's staying here.
Keep out of this, Ringo.
You got no right
to come busting in here.
I'm talking to Kate! Take a walk.
Anything you got to say,
you can say in front of him.
You slut.
Wait a minute, Holliday.
You don't talk to my woman like that.
- Your woman. Anybody's woman.
- I'm gonna blast you apart.
I don't have a gun, Ringo.
You got one now.
Reach.
- I'm not fighting.
- He won't fight.
He promised Wyatt Earp
he'd be a good little boy.
I heard you made your reputation
against a bunch of drunks.
Go on, reach.
I'm not fighting.
Well, have a drink then.
Oh, Doc.
It was a lovely dance.
I'm sorry I have to leave so soon.
You're breaking a lot of hearts.
- Good night, Mayor Kelly.
- Good night, Miss Denbow.
- May I take you somewhere?
- No, thank you. It's just a short way.
It's early and I have to ride out
for the bluffs.
Oh, it is lovely here. I'm glad I came.
You've lost your poker face.
You look like a scared little girl.
I'm not scared,
and I'm certainly not a little girl.
Why did you come out here with me?
I wish I could answer that. I don't know.
I'll tell you why you came.
- Frisky bunch, eh, Ringo?
- Yeah.
This ought to learn them once
and for all who owns the cowtowns!
Yeah.
Shanghai Pierce has hit town.
His men are hoo-hahing Front Street.
Now see if you can find Wyatt
quick as you can and get some help.
I'll try to hold them off.
I don't want anybody out there
on the streets.
Pierce, call off your men
before somebody gets hurt.
Tell your boss I'm waiting
for his personal invitation.
You're under arrest, Pierce.
- You hear that, Ringo? I'm under arrest.
- I heard.
Sure are noisy.
Sure are.
- Let's quit. I want to get out of here.
- Just keep dealing.
I'm not breaking this run. Hit me.
- Doc, please!
- Deal.
Well, what have we here?
A dance! Now ain't that nice?
You folks gonna invite us in?
Ain't very hospitable, are they, boss?
You'd better get that scum of yours
south of the deadline.
Do you hear that, boys?
These are respectable folks.
They're good enough to take our money.
I say my men are good enough to dance
with your women!
My boys want to dance!
Piano player, make some music!
- Hello, Shanghai.
- Well,
now my day is complete.
You and me are gonna settle
for this scar you gave me in Wichita.
Unbuckle your guns, boys, and come on
down to the calaboose with me.
You better start praying, Earp.
You pulled your last bluff.
Start thinking straight, Shanghai,
before you get into too much trouble
and you can't get out of it.
Let's work him over, boss.
Yeah, that's a real good idea.
Maybe your friends would like to see
how tough you really are.
I'd like to see you do a dance, Marshal.
That's mighty brave talk, Shanghai,
with 20 men behind you.
Let's you and me step out
into the street alone.
Oh, no. You don't sucker me into that.
Can't bluff your way out, huh?
All right, boys, take the skunk.
You gentlemen made such a racket,
Frank Loving was too scared to deal.
You busted my winning streak.
Fun's over, boys. Unbuckle them.
- Let's shoot it out.
- All right, Shanghai?
Go ahead, draw, all of you!
- But you get it first, Shanghai.
- And you second, Ringo.
Well, call the play.
I'll give you five seconds
to unbuckle your guns.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
We had enough fun, boys.
Unbuckle them.
Harry, Jackson, get the hardware.
Get moving!
Doc!
Anybody else want to try their luck?
Get moving.
Come on, keep moving, all of you!
All right, Doc. We ain't finished yet.
You would have been,
but I feel in a charitable mood tonight.
Keep moving. Come on.
Kelly, take them down
and lock them up for the night.
You heard the marshal.
Come on, let's get moving.
I don't suppose you want my thanks.
Let's just say my account is paid in full.
And don't take it personal, Marshal.
- Morning, Doc.
- Morning.
Just thought you'd like to know
there's going to be one less lawman
in the territory.
That's always good news to me.
I'm heading for California,
buying a ranch.
Taking your good advice,
getting out while there's time.
Smart man.
Laura's coming with me.
We're getting married in a few days.
We'd like you to
come to the wedding, Doc,
if it doesn't interfere with your poker.
I'm not good at weddings, only funerals.
Deal me out.
Wyatt,
this is a real lady.
I wish you both a lot of happiness.
You're lucky to be getting out
of this country.
Why don't you try your luck?
So long, Doc.
Take me back, Doc.
Please?
Give me another chance.
Please take me back.
I'll do anything you say.
I don't care how you treat me.
Doc, I'm sorry for what I done.
It's not your fault, Kate. It's not my fault.
It's not anybody's fault.
It's just the way the cards fall.
I never gave you much of a chance,
did I?
Yeah, maybe it could have been
different if I was right to you, but...
It ain't too late, Doc.
I'll be good to you, I promise.
It's too late for both of us.
Do something better for yourself
while you've still got the chance.
Don't let me go, Doc.
- Don't let me go back there.
- Leave me alone. Just leave me alone.
I'll see you dead.
- Hiya, Wyatt.
- Charlie.
You got a letter
from the Attorney General.
What's he got to say?
He says he can get you an appointment
as US Marshal any time you want it.
Wyatt Earp, United States Marshal.
That's all I need.
These are all dead, Charlie.
Oh, before I forget.
This is yours now.
I'm through as a lawman for good.
- Oh, you got a telegram, too.
- Read it.
Virgil's my brother. He's in trouble.
He needs me. Try to understand, Laura.
I understand I was foolish to fall in love.
- Oh, if only I could...
- Wyatt, when I first met you,
I told you I wouldn't follow you from
town to town, sitting in the darkness,
waiting for someone to bring the news
you've been killed.
I won't live that way.
We're not going to start a life together
with a gun in your hand.
I swear to you, Laura,
I'm through after Tombstone.
You'll never be through.
Your reputation will follow you
wherever you are.
- Laura, he's my brother!
- And I'm to be your wife.
Don't ask me to let him down.
Don't let me down then.
I'll give up anything.
I'll go anywhere for you.
I'll work beside you in the fields.
But you've got to meet me halfway.
I must go to Tombstone.
All right, go. Clean up Tombstone.
There's 100 more Tombstones
on the frontier,
all waiting for the great Wyatt Earp.
Go on, clean them all up!
Go on!
I love you, Laura.
I love you, Wyatt.
Ride on
To hell
And gone
Wyatt's heart was sad
He'd give all he had to stay
Stay on
Wyatt's lady fair, he left her crying there
He broke his vow
and rode away to Tombstone
Afternoon, Marshal. Out for a little ride?
About 700 miles worth. Tombstone.
Tombstone, huh?
I was heading that way myself.
Understand the climate down there
may be better for my cough.
Since when have you gotten interested
in your health?
Well, it's really a matter of finances.
The deck's gone cold here.
Nobody will give me any play.
Mind if I ride along?
It's a free country, hop on.
Where's your gear?
- Boot Hill
- On a hill, on a hill
- Boot Hill
- There's a chill, there's a chill
- So cold
- Mighty cold, mighty cold
- So still
- Mighty still, mighty still
Will the Doc and his friend
Will both of them end
In the graveyard
That's known as Boot Hill?
Thanks for the ride.
Sell my horse and get a good price.
Doc...
I know, no knives, no guns, no killings.
Man, that's good.
I'd just about forgot
what a home-cooked meal tastes like.
Betty, I'm going to steal you
away from Virgil.
By golly, Wyatt, you're going to be
the only single one left.
I got a family going in Deadwood.
Even little Jimmy here is tying the knot
when he gets back to California.
What do you mean "little Jimmy"?
I'll be 19 next month.
Nineteen!
Say, when are you gonna
get hitched, Wyatt?
Cigar?
There's the signal for women
and children to leave the room.
Come on, Tommy.
It's your bedtime now.
- Aw, Mom, do I have to?
- Yes, you do.
Your uncles will all be here tomorrow.
- Good night, Uncle Wyatt.
- Good night, Tommy.
- Good night, Uncle Morgan.
- Good night, son.
- Good night, Uncle James.
- Good night, Tommy.
- Good night, Daddy.
- Good night, Son.
It's nice to have you here.
I only wish it were
under happier circumstances.
Seems pretty upset.
Well, she's been asking me for a year
to quit marshalling.
You know how women are.
All right.
Now let's get down to business.
Now, Morgan and Jimmy
know the setup here.
Now, Wyatt, you know Ike Clanton.
He has a ranch outside city limits.
Yes, I know.
Well, he's organised the toughest bunch
of gunslingers you ever laid eyes on.
And he owns the County Sheriff.
- Who is he?
- Cotton Wilson.
Cotton Wilson.
So Ike paid off on his deal, eh?
Clanton's been rustling Mexican cattle
by the thousands,
and he has to move them.
But he can only ship them
out of Tombstone,
and he can't do that
while we control the city.
That's about it.
He's organised and he's mean.
We can't keep him
out of Tombstone forever.
What about the people of Tombstone?
John Clum, editor of the Epitaph,
and some of the leading citizens
will back us if they know
you're calling the shots.
We're all agreed, Wyatt,
you should run the show.
There's only one thing that bothers me,
and I'm going to speak my piece now.
There's gonna be a lot of bad talk
about you riding with Doc Holliday.
What about Holliday?
He's the worst killer on the frontier,
that's what about him.
And it just don't look good,
you coming here with him.
Holliday saved my life in Dodge City.
I don't forget that.
What's more, he's a man of his word.
As long as he plays his cards straight
and keeps out of killings,
we got no right to run him out of town.
I didn't know you two were a team.
We're not.
It's just a case of square deal.
Holliday stays.
All right, Wyatt. He's your responsibility.
That suits me fine. Now, do we have
a map of the county here?
Now the first thing we got to do
is let the Clantons know
that the city is closed to them.
Then we got to control the county.
Now, that's important.
I'm gonna get a letter off
to a man tonight
who'll take care of that little matter
for us.
Now show me
where the Clanton ranch is.
- Here.
- And where does he keep his...
Hello, Cotton. I've been expecting you.
You're looking fine, real prosperous.
- Oh, I ain't complaining.
- What's on your mind?
Wyatt, Ike wants to make you a deal.
He promises no trouble if you let him
ship his cattle out of Tombstone.
Well, that's mighty nice of Ike.
Ike's a nice fellow.
He's got a fortune tied up in cattle
out there at the ranch.
- And he's gonna move them.
- Oh, he is, huh?
There's $20,000 in it for you. Cash.
$20,000?
The wages of sin are rising.
$20,000 against a six-foot hole
in Boot Hill
or a $20-a-month pension,
if you live long enough to collect it.
I've thought about those things.
You know, Cotton,
this is a nice little town.
Good place to set a while.
I might even run for County Sheriff
in a couple of months.
That don't scare me at all. I got mine.
I got a ranch now
and $25,000 in the bank.
And you know something?
It don't bother my sleep not one bit.
It would mine, though.
Why don't you get off that pulpit, Wyatt?
Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City,
and what have they got you,
but a life full of misery
and a woman who walked out
on you and the friendship of a killer?
Take this message back to your boss.
So that's the way he wants it, huh?
He aims to pull the town
out from under you, Ike.
- Been a long time, Ike.
- Too long.
Hello, Ringo.
Still renting your gun
to the highest bidder?
That's right, Marshal.
Ain't you a little young
to be packing a gun, son?
Why don't you try me?
Going someplace?
We're taking in the show, Marshal.
Any objections?
No, soon as you check in
your sidearms.
Why don't you check it in for me,
Marshal?
Now!
You boys know my brothers.
Meet John Clum,
head of the Citizens' Committee.
You're a marked man, Wyatt.
There's no place in this town
for you, Ike.
The next time you ride in armed,
you ride out feet first.
Now get moving.
- Here comes trouble.
- Who is she?
That's Kate Fisher.
She just couldn't stay away.
- Four blues.
- Call, you suckers.
Barkeep, some whiskey down here.
Leave the bottle.
Two pair, aces up.
- Hey, Doc, what've you got?
- Three treys.
Nice town, huh, Kate?
Well, well, well,
if it ain't the little deputy.
Doc, your deal.
Gonna say hello to an old friend?
Draw.
Give me some crme de menthe.
Hey, little deputy.
Would you like to have
another drink with me?
You're drunk, Ringo.
That's the way you made your
reputation, wasn't it, against drunks?
Get your gun. I'll meet you in the street
in five minutes.
I'll be there.
I said I'd see you dead.
What kind of a sucker play is this?
It's all Clanton needs to start a war.
Look, I've had it up to here.
You want to play patty-cake with them,
go ahead.
Give me your gun, Doc.
You got no right packing it.
Now you can...
You can thank God
you're Wyatt Earp's brother.
Holliday, if you think anything
about Wyatt, you'll get out of here.
Having a killer like you around is the
worst thing that can happen to him!
- I hear you're leaving Tombstone.
- You hear good.
I'm taking a stage tomorrow.
Kind of thought this climate was
good for your cough.
Listen, Preacher, being here
is causing me a lot of embarrassment.
Some people are even taking me
as a lawman.
You're not leaving on my account?
Your account?
You've got nothing to do
with my leaving.
Good luck, Doc.
Too bad we won't be
in on the finish together.
- Hiya, Wyatt.
- John.
Here's that letter
you've been waiting for.
What do we got here?
Young Clanton passed out drunk
at the Alhambra.
Throw him in the tank
and let him sleep it off.
Hold it a minute.
John, how long is it going to take you
to get those men you promised me?
Any time you say.
I think I'll take a little trip
out to the Clanton ranch.
- You crazy?
- I don't think so.
Well, take your gun.
This is all the ammunition I'll need.
If I'm not back
in a couple of hours, Virge,
have Clum's Citizens' Committee
drag my carcass out.
Billy!
He's all right, ma'am.
Just got himself a little liquored up.
All right, on your feet.
Billy, you get in the house!
I don't know what I'm going to do
with that boy.
The way he's going now,
he's going to end up like his father,
shot down for stealing cattle.
You think you're pretty tough,
don't you, son?
I never saw a gunslinger yet so tough
he lived to celebrate his 35th birthday.
I learnt one rule about gunslingers.
There's always a man faster
on the draw than you are,
and the more you use a gun, the sooner
you're gonna run into that man.
You think I don't know
what's inside of you.
I had a couple of big brothers.
They fought in the Civil War,
and I was too young to go.
I tried to live up to them
the same way that you're trying
to live up to Ike and Finn.
- You know about that, huh?
- You can bet I know about that.
It's not that I want to be a gunfighter,
exactly. It's just...
I don't know, sometimes I get lonely.
All gunfighters are lonely.
They live in fear.
They die without a dime
or a woman or a friend.
You know,
I never thought about it like that.
Well, think about it. Think about it.
Billy, listen to the marshal.
- I won't do it no more, Ma.
- Oh, please don't.
What are you doing here?
Just brought
your kid brother home, drunk.
You should be proud, real proud.
You'd better get riding.
I wouldn't do that, Ike.
Some of my friends in Tombstone might
begin to worry if I'm not back soon.
That don't cut no ice with me, Wyatt.
You're out of your territory this time.
Am I?
My appointment,
United States Marshal.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Now wait a minute, Wyatt.
I'm not looking for a fight,
but you've got to stop pushing me.
Now why don't we sit down
and talk it over?
I'll make you any kind of deal you ask.
The only deal I want is for you to run
that stolen herd back to Mexico.
- Did you see the judge?
- I seen him.
Well?
There's no legal way you can keep a
United States Marshal out of the county.
Judge was packing up to leave
when I got there.
I think it's about time
we all pack up and leave, Ike.
Shut up, Frank!
There's only one thing we can do.
We didn't have no trouble
till that Wyatt Earp got here.
You're making sense now, Ike.
All right.
We got no choice.
We'll ambush him tonight.
Ain't you forgetting
about the rest of the Earps?
Now, look, we can handle the Earps
if we make this a personal fight.
- What if they bring in Clum?
- They won't, they're too proud.
They're gonna come to us
the way we want.
It's a law bigger than any law
in the books.
Family pride.
We'll get that Wyatt
when he makes his late round.
Don't make no difference to me.
Tired?
Yeah, I guess I must have dozed a little.
- Betty sent some coffee.
- Well, that's gonna hit the spot.
It's awful quiet.
Too quiet.
Wyatt, do you figure we're gonna have
to fight it out with the Clantons?
I wish I knew, Jimmy.
Maybe Ike will see
how hopeless it all is.
- You itching to get back to California?
- I think about it all the time.
- She must be quite a girl.
- Yeah, she is.
Well,
I better get to work.
Look, how about letting me
make the rounds for you tonight?
I get awful lonesome sitting here
with nothing to do but think.
Sure, you go ahead.
I could use some sleep.
Least when I'm making the rounds, it
gives me something else to think about.
Ike's called the play.
We'll do it his way now.
Don't do that, Wyatt.
That's what they want.
Don't let them push you
into a personal fight.
That's mighty funny coming from you.
You're a lawman, Wyatt.
Don't throw away a lifetime's work.
Where's your logic?
To hell with logic!
That's my brother lying there.
- Who is it?
- Open the door!
Start talking, Kate.
Doc,
- I don't know nothing about it.
- Talk!
Why?
What difference does it make now?
I sure messed everything up real good,
ain't I?
I wanted you back,
because I love you.
And...
I thought if Wyatt was out of the way,
you'd come back to me.
And that's why I kept quiet
when I heard them.
I must've been out of my mind!
Where?
The Clanton ranch.
Who was there?
I didn't want that boy to be killed!
Who was there?
Ike, Finn, Cotton Wilson
and the MacLowerys.
And Ringo?
Was Ringo there?
Yes, Ringo was there.
Don't, Doc. Don't, Doc.
Oh, please don't, Doc!
Doc! Doc!
Please don't, Doc.
Please don't kill me!
Please! Please! Please!
No, don't kill me!
Doc?
Doc.
Doc!
Oh, Doc.
It's all right, honey.
It's all right, honey.
Wyatt, Ike sent me.
I didn't have nothing to do with it.
I didn't know nothing about James!
You gotta believe me, you got to.
I guess it's just because
your name is Clanton.
Ike sent me to see you.
He wants to meet with you
and your family, personal.
- I've been expecting it.
- With no interference from Clum.
You have my word.
How many men is he bringing?
Six.
There'll be Ike and Finn and Ringo
and the MacLowerys.
Where and when?
Sunup at OK Corral.
You tell Ike we'll be there.
You said six.
I'll be coming with them.
Don't do it, Billy.
Give yourself a chance to live.
No, I thought about it.
I thought real hard about it.
No, sir, I can't run.
Ike and Finn are my brothers.
You understand that, don't you?
Yes, Billy, I understand that.
How can you sit there
like you're playing checkers?
How can you sit there like that?
What's the matter with you?
Why don't you go get John Clum
and ask for some help?
I told you, this is not Clum's affair.
This is personal,
between us and Ike Clanton.
But you're lawmen.
You are lawmen, all three of you.
You have no right to put yourselves
above the safety of this town!
Your duty is to the people,
not to your own pride.
Proud, proud men.
Look at you.
Look at the proud men!
Morgan,
does your wife know
she'll be a widow tomorrow?
I think you'd better leave the room.
Virgil, your son wants to
kiss you good night.
See you in the morning.
Doc, wake up.
Doc, it's me, Wyatt.
Wake up! Do you hear me?
You drunken sot!
I need you, Doc. Don't let me down.
Wake up, do you hear me? Wake up.
Leave him alone.
Can't you see he's dying?
Leave them alone.
Doc, how do you feel?
The fight's this morning,
isn't it?
What?
I don't know.
Doc, you can't.
You can't!
Doc, you can't!
Look, you can't even stand up!
You're gonna die for sure
if you go out there.
If I'm gonna die, at least let me die
with the only friend I ever had.
We don't make no difference, huh?
You and I?
We don't matter, Kate.
We haven't mattered
since the day we were born.
- Get the horses around back.
- All right.
Get going, Cotton.
Frank, take the rifle,
get inside the wagon.
Up front.
Morgan and Virgil are waiting.
Ike wants to talk to you alone.
He's unarmed.
Wait a minute, Wyatt.
Kate told me about the killing
of your brother.
It was the Clantons all right
and you were in on it!
I had nothing to do with it.
Get back where you belong.
- Believe me, Wyatt, if...
- Get back with your friends.
They're coming.
- They got Doc Holliday with them.
- Holliday, huh?
Cotton, you get over with the horses.
Ike, I can't take
this kind of gunplay anymore.
Let me out.
Get over there.
Seven of them with Cotton.
I only see six.
Spread.
Frank.
Hit the dirt!
Cover me.
Shotgun!
- You all right?
- All right, all right.
Cotton, you chicken-livered, miserable...
He killed my brother!
- Tom, stay back, you fool!
- He killed my brother!
Come on, Earp! I'll kill you!
Come on, Earp!
Earp, come out and get it!
Virge, hurt bad?
Yeah, my legs.
Doc.
I'll take care of Ringo.
Billy,
throw down your gun and come on out.
Give up, boy! You haven't got a chance!
Come in and get me.
Come in and get me!
Don't make me do it, boy.
Don't make me do it.
I'm shoving off, Doc.
How are the brothers?
Coming along fine.
They're gonna be all right.
Another glass, Joe.
I just want you to know
I'd have never made it without you.
- Where you heading?
- California.
Laura?
I don't know. I hope so.
She'll be waiting.
Will you listen to me for just once?
Will you get up to that hospital
in Denver?
At this rate, you can't last
more than a couple of months.
You crazy?
And give up this winning streak?
I'll see you around.
So long, Preacher.
- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- Hello, Doc.
- Hi, Doc.
- What's the name of this game?
- Boot Hill
- On a hill, on a hill
- Boot Hill
- There's a chill, there's a chill
- So cold
- Mighty cold, mighty cold
- So still
- Mighty still, mighty still
Here they lie, side by side
The killers that died
In the gunfight at OK Corral
