02x28 - The Vultures

[bunniefuu]

Not working, wyatt.

Give it a chance, sam.

Here comes somebody.

It's him.

And he's wearing his g*n.

Yeah.

Just as we figured.

You leaving town,

Mr. Watts?

No.

Then you're under arrest

For wearing a g*n

On the street.

I got good reason

For--

Tell the judge.

You been after

Me ever since--

That's right.

Now you gonna

Unbuckle that g*n

Or are you gonna use it?

You got a choice.

[Announcer]

The life and legend

Of wyatt earp starring...

[Knock on door]

I'll get it.

Evening.

Is your name henry brown?

That's right.

Take a look at this.

There's a $ , reward

For harry hogan.

You've got the wrong man.

No, we haven't.

Go with him while

He saddles his horse.

Please, that poster's

Over five years old.

We've carried it

Almost that long.

Look, I'll admit it.

I am harry hogan.

I was part of a g*ng

For a few years.

Then I quit.

Since then,

I've been a homesteader

Right here trying

To live right.

You can tell all

That to the judge

In kansas city.

Wait, henry.

Are you lawmen?

Deputies or marshals

Or something like that?

We don't carry badges,

But we represent the law,

Just the same.

Henry, they're

Bounty hunters.

They do this just

To collect a reward.

Come on, hogan,

We wasted enough time.

I'll get my horse.

No, don't! Don't, no!

No!

You recognize him,

Marshal?

No, I can't say

That I do.

Went by the name

Of henry brown.

Used to homestead

Right near here.

What do you mean

He used to?

He don't anymore.

He's outside tied over

His horse's back.

Tried to get away,

Marshal,

So we had to sh**t him.

Who are you?

The name's bill watts.

This here is dave richie.

You're not lawmen.

No, just a couple

Of law-abiding citizens,

Marshal.

Now if you don't mind,

We'd like to turn the body

Of this criminal over to you.

And just how much does

The reward happen to be?

$ , .

Bounty hunters, huh?

You search

For scalp money.

Well, now, marshal,

That ain't the way

We describe it.

Now you two are the lowest

Breed in the west.

If I see you again,

I'll sh**t you on sight.

No, you won't, marshal.

What we done is perfectly

Legal and you know it.

We're turning the body

Over to you for confirmation

And we'll wait here

At the hotel until

The reward arrives.

There's marshal earp

Sending that telegram for us.

I don't think

He likes us none.

None of them do.

You know, if half of what's

Been said about the people

Of dodge city is true,

We should be able

To do a lot of hiding out

From the law here.

I don't know.

Things have changed

Since this earp took over.

He's bound to have missed

A few "reward" posters.

He doesn't remember hogan.

He's leaving.

Good morning, marshal.

You wanna search us?

Your blood money will be

Here in a couple of days.

When it gets here,

I'll give you one hour

To get out of town.

Now that's not legal,

Marshal. We're not

Breaking any laws.

We're upholding them.

We'll leave when

We're ready.

Now I'll tell you,

You may change your mind.

Gather in just

A little closer, fellas,

And listen to this,

"Buzzards come

To roost in dodge.

Two members of one

Of the most despicable

And dishonorable professions

In the west--

Bounty hunting--

At this very moment

In dodge city."

"Buzzards come

To roost in dodge."

Did you write

That editorial?

Yes, I did.

What are you doing

To do, sam?

Stir up more trouble

Than I already have?

Well, I wasn't aware

Until now, wyatt,

That you allowed this kind

Of thing to go on in dodge.

Do you realize what this

Is liable to stir up?

I certainly do.

A little public indignation.

Look, sam, it's liable

To start a lynch party.

I'd have to protect

Those two vultures.

And that's the last thing

In the world that I

Wanna have to do.

Wyatt, to be quite

Honest with you,

I never quite thought

Of it like that before.

Take it easy from

Now on, will you?

Isn't there something

You can do about those two?

No, not legally.

They don't scare easy,

And they're old hands

At this kind of business.

Their being here is

The worst thing that

Ever happened in dodge.

You make it sound

Pretty bad.

There's no telling

How many lives

They'll ruin.

That's what bothers me.

Wyatt, you mean

You know of wanted men

Who are living here now

In dodge.

There's men like that

All over the west.

Men who got mixed up

Early in life. They've

Regretted it ever since.

Change their names

And become decent people.

Then these two buzzards

Come along and wreck

Their lives altogether.

Maybe k*ll 'em.

No, they're not

Gonna k*ll anybody here.

The minute that either one

Of them wears a g*n,

He's my meat.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Why are we stopping?

Ally, I don't think you

Should travel anymore today.

We'll get a hotel room

Here in town and use

A different name.

But we made up our

Minds not to stop till

We got out of kansas.

Now look, ally--

Now let's keep on.

You and the baby

Are more important.

I feel fine, dear.

Now let's see if they'll

Sell us another horse.

I told you the livery

Stable's always

A good place.

Where's the posters?

In that drawer.

Take a look at him.

He's down there buying

A horse.

I've seen

That face before.

[Muttering]

Kansas... No.

Kansas. No.

He's one of the youngers.

"Wanted for questioning

Concerning an abilene robbery.

For information leading

To this man,

$ ."

Not a bad day's work.

Think marshal earp will

Be glad to see us again?

Leave it alone.

Earp sees you with

That on the street,

He'll sh**t first

And ask questions later.

We don't need g*ns

For this kid anyway.

Hurry, larry.

As fast as I can.

I beg your pardon.

Do you have a match?

No. Sorry.

You're not going

Anyplace, younger.

No! Stop!

Get out of here.

All right, marshal.

But don't forget.

That's another $

We got coming.

I said get out.

Go on!

Are you all right, ma'am?

I'll be all right.

Just too much

For her, marshal.

Mrs. Younger, I'll try

And get you a room

As soon as possible.

Mr. Younger,

I'm gonna have

To lock you up.

He's wanted for questioning,

Ma'am, according to

This poster.

I don't like it any

Better than you do.

I had nothing to do

With the robbery, marshal.

The name is younger.

They can see what that means.

[Ally]

He's never done anything

With his brothers at all.

We figured by spring

The baby would be here,

But my brothers robbed

A place in abilene.

Somebody recognized one

Of them and I heard they

Wanted to question me.

You shouldn't have run away.

I've had enough, marshal.

Every time they commit

A robbery, they question me.

The worst that can happen

Is that you go on back home

And answer their questions.

Then come back here

And start west again.

What about ally?

See, I just don't have

Enough money to take

Care of her while I'm gone.

Don't worry about that.

I'll see that

She's taken care of.

Thank you, marshal.

I don't know how

We can thank you, marshal.

Forget it. Now you go on

In there and find yourself

A comfortable cell.

I'll take you on over

And get you a hotel room.

Have a good rest, darling.

Don't worry.

Thank you, marshal.

Ma'am.

Oh, excuse me.

That's all right.

You know, some people have

Nothing else better to do

Than just put up

These posters.

And it may work.

What?

Nothing. Come on.

How's this for

A closing line, wyatt?

"Such men are a scourge

To the west,

A shame on the human race

And should be

Run out of town."

That should do it.

Suppose this incites

The people to violence

Like you were afraid

Yesterday's editorial might?

We're just gonna have to

Take that chance, sam.

Anyway,

If I know those two,

The minute they're

Threatened, they're gonna

Come looking for protection.

We got our names

In the paper again.

That's pretty strong.

Sam rolfe.

You thinking

What I'm thinking?

Anybody who hates us as

Much as this rolfe does

Should have a past

Worth looking into.

Let's go look him over.

Well, here they come.

I'll be in the back.

We'd like to talk

To sam rolfe.

Well, what do you want

To see him about?

Never mind unless

You're him.

No, no, I'm not.

He's out of the office

For a little while.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I'll finish what

I'm doing.

Who's in charge

While he's gone?

I guess I am.

And what might

Your name be?

Smith. John smith.

Then tell me, mr. Smith,

How much do you know

About this rolfe?

Not too much, I guess.

He's been here quite

A while, though.

How long?

Oh, about five years,

I guess.

You sure of that?

What are you asking

All these questions

About mr. Rolfe for?

Don't you know,

Mr. Smith?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

All right,

You tell mr. Rolfe

We'll be back.

All right,

I'll tell him.

Who should I say was

Asking after him?

I think you know

Who we are.

Yes,

I guess I do.

Well, that was quite

A performance, mister...

Mr. Smith.

That eyeshade does

A lot for you, too.

I got a pretty good likeness

Of both of them, wyatt.

I'll say they are.

Very good.

They suspect me

Of being wanted.

They'll keep an eye

On you, too.

We can give bill watts

Another name.

Joseph watts.

How's that?

Mm-hmm.

Richie we can make

Into a horse thief.

Put a price on his head.

That's fine,

But how are you gonna--

How am I gonna get

The wrong poster

To the right man?

Yeah.

Well, sam,

That's the next step.

This is what I had

In mind.

"Marshal's office looted.

Important documents stolen.

While marshal earp and his

Deputies were patrolling

Front street last night,

Some foolhardy thief

Rifled through files

And took some

Valuable papers.

Marshal earp refuses

To disclose the nature

Of the missing papers

Or to discuss

Their value.

The marshal's face

Is red both with

Embarrassment

And anger."

You don't think our good

Friend sam rolfe stole

The documents, do you?

Maybe earp's trying

To frame us,

Accuse us of

Robbing his office.

I don't know.

Earp's no fool.

I think we should go

And have a talk with rolfe.

Try and find out something.

Can we buy a couple of

Copies of today's globe,

Mr. Rolfe?

Sure,

Just help yourselves.

I see the marshal's office

Was robbed last night.

Know any other details?

Huh? Only what you

Read in the paper.

It's all right there

On the front page.

I'm having dinner

With marshal earp.

If you could

Come back later,

I might have some news

That would be of interest

To all of us.

Look across the street.

He's watching us now.

Couldn't you come back later

And maybe we could meet

Somewhere?

All right.

"Come back alone."

What kind of a trick

Is this?

You didn't show the note

To your partner, did you?

Not yet I haven't.

Well?

Where did you get this?

I thought you'd like

To see that.

Did you get the one

Of yourself along with it?

I figured this would

Cancel out anything

You think you

Might have on me.

What's going on?

What do you mean?

I saw you coming out

Of the globe office.

Then I followed you

To the telegraph office.

Are you trying

To cross me?

Why don't you relax?

I'm keeping tabs on rolfe.

Every time earp

Sees us together,

He thinks we're after rolfe.

Have to be more careful,

That's all.

What do you mean

More careful?

We'll have to work alone.

Earp can't be in two places

At the same time.

What were you doing

At the telegraph office?

I sent a telegram

To kansas city

To get a line on rolfe.

You cross me

And you know what'll

Happen, don't you?

[Door opens]

Well, howdy, sam.

You sent for me?

Yes, wyatt, I wanted

To show you this.

It's a copy of the wire

That richie sent

To kansas city.

Old hank brought it

Over to me.

"Request information

On joseph watson,

Wanted for stagecoach robbery,

Your city several

Years ago. Wire answer.

Collect d. Richie,

Dodge city, kansas."

Well, it worked, huh?

Yeah, it looks like

The pot's beginning

To simmer.

You mean it's beginning

To boil. Here comes

The other one.

Good afternoon, mr. Watts.

What can I do for you?

Richie and I thought

Maybe you'd be ready

To make a deal

On those posters you swiped

From the marshal's office.

You're running a bluff,

Mr. Watts, and you know it.

You won't find any poster

With my picture on it.

Your partner was in here

Trying to run the same

Bluff on me.

You know, you two aren't

The brightest I've

Ever seen,

But then you're not holding

The cards that I am.

You see, I found a poster

With a picture on it

That I think you'd find

Mighty interesting.

"Wanted for horse thievery,

Daniel goodrich,

Alias robert richards."

Who else knows about this?

Just myself.

Not even marshal earp?

No.

So it was you

Who stole the posters out

Of earp's office.

When a man's in a spot,

Mr. Watts,

He has to protect himself

All the way around.

Besides, who'd believe you?

All right.

You mind your business

And I'll mind mine.

Funny. This is just

About the same telegram

Your friend sent.

He sent it

To the same fella.

Only he was checking

On a fella named watson

Or some such name.

About a stagecoach robbery.

You get that through

Just as quick as you can.

You fellas must be a mighty

Important lawmen.

Wyatt.

Hank tipped richie off.

Now richie's looking

For you to protect him.

Yeah, and mr. Watts is

Looking for mr. Richie

To k*ll him.

Everything's working out

Just fine.

It's watts.

And he's wearing his g*n.

Yeah.

Just as we figured.

You leaving town,

Mr. Watts?

No.

Then you're under arrest.

For what?

For carrying a g*n

In the street.

You been after me

Ever since--

That's right.

Are you gonna hand over

That g*n?

Or are you gonna use it?

Marshal, marshal earp,

I've been looking all over--

He'll get away, wyatt.

Yeah, I hope so.

Far away.

Now I can put you in jail

For days

For carrying this g*n.

Days for resisting arrest

And more for disturbing

The peace,

But I'm gonna suspend

That and let you go.

Why?

'Cause I don't

Want you around,

But I'll tell you something,

Mr. Watts, if I ever see

Your face in dodge city again,

I'm gonna lock you up

For a long time.

What about my reward money

For hogan's body

And for younger?

You can be fined, too,

You know?

I'd recommend to the judge

That it'd be about $ , .

And I think he'd

Listen to me.

And one more thing--

When you see your friend

Mr. Richie, tell him

The same goes for him, too.

I won't be seeing him.

You might.

If you take the deadwood road.

I hear he went that way.

He did, huh?

You think they'll figure

It all out, wyatt,

Before they sh**t each other?

I don't know, sam.

Your guess is as good

As anybody's.

At least we got rid of them.
