[Narrator]

In the peace officer business

On the western frontier

In , a man made an odd

Assortment of friends.

Marshal wyatt earp

Was no exception.

But when wyatt was alleged to

Be sponsoring the notorious

Dr. John b. Holliday

And his wife kate,

The lid blew off.

But wyatt, the man's

A gambler and a k*ller.

And his wife makes

Trouble everywhere.

Folks are talking, wyatt.

Mean talk. They just

Don't understand.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,

Will you?

Now you and our new

Mayor, mr. Kelley,

Haven't given judge tobin

The chance to say one word.

What do you want to do?

Monopolize the whole

Inquisition?

Your turn, sir.

People like doc holliday and his

Wife are bound to embarrass you,

Wyatt.

Doc's every bit as bad

As ben thompson, or worse.

Remember all the trouble

That thompson caused you?

Yes, sir. But he isn't--

It's no use, judge.

He says doc holliday saved

His life at chancey's camp.

Thompson did you

A favor like that once,

But you finally had

To run him out of town.

Holliday took your

Part in a g*n fight?

He slid his g*n along the bar.

Otherwise I might have been

Cut in two with buckshot.

Makes it kind of tough, judge.

Yes, I can see that.

Listen, wyatt.

I owe you for saving

My life a couple of times.

But you wouldn't expect me

To break my oath as sheriff

If you turned outlaw.

No, I wouldn't.

But doctor holliday

Hasn't stepped out of line

Since he got here,

And I just can't run him

Out of town until he does.

Well that won't be long.

You'll crack right

Down on him then?

I give you my word.

I dislike to be

Cynical, wyatt, but

Men like holliday sometimes go

Out of their way to get a peace

Officer in their debt.

Now this isn't a matter of

Personalities or favors owed.

We're starting what I hope

Will be a final drive

To civilize this town.

Doc holliday

Doesn't belong here.

No, sir.

I guess not.

Well, is the meeting over?

For the present at least.

Well I guess I better tell you

The main reason I kicked up

This storm against

Doc holliday, huh?

George morris and his crowd

Are driving a big herd to dodge.

Are you sure?

Yes, sir.

I shouldn't think

He'd have the gall

After what we did

To him last time.

[Sighs]

Well, some of them never learn.

And that's why

You can't afford

To be having

Complications with doc.

May be a real fight coming.

I understand you,

Sheriff.

No complications with

Doctor holliday.

Just a second, doctor.

Mr. Mcdaniel,

I haven't a second.

Now it's going to

Take a little longer.

Shell out $ .

Why should I do that?

You cheated me last night.

If you have a g*n, sir,

You better go for it.

[g*n fires]

Get a doctor.

Where's the doctor?

I'm a stranger here myself.

Doc holliday, he shot me.

You saw that.

He shot me.

[Chatter]

[Coughs]

I'm sorry, but I'm going

To have to arrest you, doctor.

Oh? Did aces mcdaniel

Bleed to death?

No, but you shot

Him up pretty bad.

He signed a complaint charging

You with as*ault to k*ll.

Did he tell you he started

To draw on me first?

What'd the

Eyewitnesses say?

They say mcdaniel accused

You of cheating at cards,

And that you drew and fired.

Wasn't he carrying a g*n?

He claims he was unarmed.

You believe that?

Did he have a g*n?

Yes.

Where is it?

You're the marshal.

I don't like the way

You're handling the case.

I said he had a g*n.

I'm not in the habit of having

Anybody question my word.

Now look, doctor.

The witnesses

Didn't see a g*n.

Mcdaniel's ready to swear

That he wasn't armed.

What do you

Expect me to do?

Nothing.

Take me to jail.

I'm disappointed

In you, wyatt.

Do you recall what

Larousse frachal said?

No, sir.

He said it is necessary

To live as one thinks.

And man usually ends by

Thinking as he has lived.

And you think too much

Like a policeman.

You mind if I take

My medicine along?

No, but put it

Under your coat.

Still hope for

You, wyatt.

Ah, we were right

About the doctor, huh?

I don't know.

Oh, come on, marshal.

Dr. Holliday said

That mcdaniel had a g*n.

I think he's telling

The truth.

Well, where is the g*n?

You know I asked him that

And he got a little bit sore.

I think he's acting cantankerous

Just to prove something, and--

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

How could you put the doctor

In a cold, dirty cell?

Well--

Have you no human kindness?

A man at death's door.

I'll see you later, wyatt.

Thanks.

Mrs. Holliday, I told your

Husband that he could go

Free on bail,

But he wouldn't put up

The bond money.

Naturally. He's no criminal.

He's got a criminal

Complaint against him.

[Huffs]

You're just trying to

Roust us out of town.

Let's go, wyatt.

Where?

To the doctor's cell.

I'm taking him out

Of this dirty place.

And don't try any tricks.

I'll sh**t.

I'm sure you would,

Mrs. Holliday.

But I don't think you're

Acting very smart.

I'm not a smart woman.

I just love my husband.

You're wasting time.

[Holliday coughs]

His cough is worse.

Open that door.

[Coughing continues]

The g*n.

The g*n, my dear.

Fully c*ck.

Outlaw is good to you, sir.

John, what are you doing?

I knew you'd come, katie.

I can always count on you.

But I got to stay

In jail this time.

Why?

Marshal earp interests me.

He's intelligent.

I'm bored and I

Want to study him.

But, john,

This cell's not clean.

It's drafty.

And you can't lie on

That lumpy bunk.

Look, why don't you change

Your mind and post bail.

Yes, and let me

Hire a lawyer.

No, katie, you go on

Back to the hotel.

I've got to do it.

Otherwise he'll leave me

Like he did in dallas.

That's right, katie.

See you in the

Morning, my dear.

Have you got enough medicine?

Well, i...

Oh, here.

Take enough to keep you warm.

[Muttering]

Of course my dear, thank you.

Goodnight.

Thank you, darling.

All cell doors

Must be locked at once.

The hard, unthinking

Fist of johnny law.

Why didn't you

Arrest mrs. Holliday

For attempted jail break?

Because I pity her.

Why?

She's married to you.

So do i.

But I didn't think of pity

As one of your emotions.

There's a lot you don't know

About my emotions, doctor.

Why don't you tell me

About mcdaniel's g*n?

Why should i?

You wouldn't take my word.

Look, you're coming up

Against judge tobin.

He'll keep you in

Jail a long time.

You trying to commit suicide?

I've searched mcdaniel's room

And every bar for that g*n.

You didn't search me.

No, I didn't.

Turn around.

I believe you're worried.

Sure, I'm worried.

I don't want a sick

Man put in jail

If he can prove he acted

In self defense.

Now if you know where that g*n

Is, why don't you tell me?

Your friends don't

Approve of us hollidays.

Friends? What friends?

Masterson, tobin, kelley.

Oh, you got a lot of them.

That's not the point.

We're talking about evidence,

Vital evidence.

I'm talking about

Your friends.

I don't like them,

And I don't like you.

All right, if that's

The way you want it.

That's just

The way I want it.

I'm going to make monkeys

Out of all of you in court.

Doctor, I await this

With great interest.

You know, the reason

You hate everybody is that

You hate yourself.

You enjoy making enemies.

Well the worst enemy you

Ever made is yourself.

I'll send you some

More blankets.

You may step down.

Doctor holliday.

You heard the witnesses

For the state.

Have you testimony to

Present in your defense?

No, sir. Only an exhibit.

Very well, the court will

Examine the evidence.

The court darn well better.

This is the g*n mcdaniel

Was carrying.

I took it from him

After I shot him.

Wyatt earp neglected

To search me.

Indeed.

Is that a fact, marshal?

[Sighs]

Yes, sir.

He surrendered a . ,

But I didn't search

Him for other weapons

Until after he

Was in jail.

The court cannot

Except this evidence.

Unless you can properly

Establish that the g*n belonged

To mr. Mcdaniel.

Don't lecture me

On the law, judge.

I think mayor kelley can

Identify the g*n.

Mcdaniel purchased it at his

Store about a month ago.

Mayor kelley.

Speak up, mayor, I

Haven't got all day.

It's the g*n I sold mcdaniel.

Wyatt earp seems to

Have honest friends.

That will do.

The court rules--

If the court please.

Well?

[Holliday]

I wish to state that I hold

Hard feelings

Against all of you

For this stupid blundering.

I don't like dodge city

Or anyone in it.

But mrs. Holliday and I are

Leaving this town at our own

Convenience,

Not yours.

Now the court

May rule, sir.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

The court must accept

Dr. Holliday's explanation

Of this affair.

Case dismissed.

I don't hold any

Hard feelings, mr. Earp.

You did your best to persuade

John to go free on bail,

And you did look

Everywhere for that g*n.

So, let's shake hands.

Come on, katie.

What I said goes

For my wife, too.

George morris is coming after

You again with a lot of his men,

Mr. Earp.

Shut up.

Goodbye, mr. Earp.

Goodbye, ms. Kate.

It stands to reason

Morris and his men

Won't sneak into town

The way they did last time.

This will be morris's

Last water stop before

Coming into dodge.

I vote to ride out there

And take them before

They ever hit town.

What kind of a legal reason

Are you going to give him?

Legal reason? Well,

For pete's sake, charge him

With attempted m*rder.

sh**ting up dodge, everything

They did last time.

Hmm.

Well, you're the sheriff.

They're still outside

My jurisdiction.

You don't like it, huh?

Well, if I was the sheriff,

I'd just ride out there

To the water stop

And kind of snoop

Around a little bit.

I just wouldn't start a fight

Or ride into an ambush.

Well...

Morris can change

His mind, you know.

He can load

Railhead junction,

Not even come

Into dodge at all.

Well, kate holliday said he...

Ah, you're right.

It's smarter to scout

The morris outfit first.

Sam, I'll take you and emmett.

Mike better stay in town, huh?

Yeah.

I'll have a little talk

With mrs. Holliday

When doc isn't around.

Would she know anything?

Well, she might. She and doc

Traveled all over texas.

Whose side is she on?

[Sighs and laughs]

Well, I don't know that,

Mr. Masterson,

But I sure aim to find out.

[Knocking on door]

It's mr. Earp.

[Katie]

Oh, dear.

Tell him I'll just

Be a moment.

Yes'm, miss holliday.

She's getting fixed up.

Take a chair.

Thank you.

Miss holliday,

You wait for me.

You'll get your lacing

All knotted up.

Yes, I'm out--

Uh, peggy, you take a walk.

She listens, and tells

Only to the doctor.

Well, I do want this

To be confidential.

What you said about

George morris in court...

Do you know just when

He'll get to dodge?

Oh, I meant to tell you

That, only my husband--

Morris is coming in

This afternoon.

They loaded at railhead.

A couple of cattle buyers

Were talking drunk

At the long branch.

This afternoon?

They said.

The doctor didn't

Want me to mention it.

Yes, I know that, and

I do want to thank you.

Well, it doesn't give me

Much time to get ready.

Wait.

Oh, I've got to tell

You something else.

Doctor holliday's

Trying to hate you.

I don't think he'd

Help morris, but he might.

Does he know morris?

Oh, sure.

The doctor could have hired on

With morris at $ , a month.

Well, that's pretty good

Pay for a dentist.

Morris didn't want

Him for that.

He admires the doctor's

g*n fighting ability.

Yeah.

Well, I want to thank

You again, miss kate.

Don't mention it.

I simply hope my husband

Stays out of this fight.

So do i.

Goodbye.

Let's straighten out

The boys, curly.

Some of you will start

A hoorah south of the line.

The rest of us will move

To trap earp to the foot

Of front street.

Think you'll be sucker enough

To head into the front street,

George?

I'm betting on it, curly.

Earp always heads straight

For the sound of g*ns.

I figure that we'll

Meet him at nick's corner.

Probably come out

Of the alley.

Let's go.

Now I want you tell all

The other deputies on patrol

Where these g*ns will be.

I want them to duck for

Cover and grab buckshot loads

At the first sound of trouble.

[Distant g*nf*re]

[Kelley] looks like

It's started, wyatt.

Yeah. That's firing

South of the line.

I'll duck down the alley,

Head for nick's saloon.

You meet me there

As soon as you can.

Right.

[g*nf*re continues]

It's george morris

And curly bill.

They're coming down

Front street.

Not so loud.

Loud? g*ns are

Going off, mister.

Shut up. I like

To hear g*ns.

[g*nf*re continues]

Continue.

[g*nf*re continues]

There.

Reach, johnny law.

See I'm limping, earp.

That's what you

And masterson's done.

You had it coming.

Guess what you got

Coming to you.

Cut the gab, george,

And sh**t him.

[George]

No rush.

I want to tell this mangy

Johnny law how stupid he is.

Where do you want

The first one?

[Man]

Start sh**ting or I will.

No, he's mine.

I'm going to cut the

Legs from under him

The way he done to me.

Then you can finish

The job, curly.

Drop them, george.

Curly.

Doc holliday, not you.

It's wyatt earp, doc.

Don't sh**t him, wyatt.

Drop your g*ns.

Or wyatt might

k*ll you this time.

Cut loose.

No, against doc.

Pull that trigger.

I want you to.

[Groans]

Why did you hit him?

Because he'd have

Pulled the trigger.

And I'd have

Cut him in two.

All body and no brains.

What are you going to do

With the rest of them?

Jail.

[Wyatt]

Al, bill.

Don't worry about their g*ns,

I'll get nick's porter

To put them in a gunny sack.

I'm thirsty.

Go on, cart them off.

I don't get it.

Why did doc make that

Play against morris?

I don't know, mr. Leavitt.

You were lucky.

Yeah, I sure was.

It's the closest I've ever

Come to cashing in my chips.

[Bottle clinks]

You should have let me empty

Both barrels at curly.

He isn't bad enough

To be interesting,

And not good enough

To rise above mere thuggery.

Look, why don't you and I

Try to understand each other?

I understand you.

No, you don't.

You think I'm going to try

And roust you out of town.

That's what your friends want.

Well that doesn't make

Any difference.

As far as I'm concerned,

You and mrs. Holliday

Can stay right on

Here in dodge.

[Laughs]

What am I supposed to say,

Thank you?

No.

I'll see you around.

[Holliday]

Oh, no you won't.

My wife and I are leaving.

You couldn't pay us enough

To stay in this scurvy town.

There's one point

I want to make clear.

You and I part enemies.

Morris thought I

Was his friend.

He knows better now.

And I think I know what's

Wrong with the doctor.

His whole life he's

Never had an even break.

The w*r ruined his parents,

And bad health

Ruined his career.

And he's just plain

Ornery to start with.

Yeah, I guess so, but...

Look do me this one

Favor, will you?

No, sir.

I don't beg doc holliday

To stay in dodge.

I'm not asking

You to beg him.

You're the sheriff.

All you got to do

Is say that as long

As he behaves himself,

That he--

Wyatt, will you wait a minute.

Look, just say you won't make

Things any tougher on him.

Wyatt!

There's a devil in doc holliday,

And he's got you in

His debt again.

All right, so he's got me

In his debt, but that doesn't

Mean--

Look, he'll ask for payment,

Some favor you can't afford

To do for him.

You believe in gratitude

And doc knows that.

But will you take my

Advice this one time?

Let doc leave

Town and forget him.

Oh, wyatt.

Mrs. Holliday wants to see you

At the hotel right away.

She says doc's

Having a bad time.

He's awful sick.

She send for doc mccarty?

He was there when

I talked to her.

Oh, wyatt.

How good of you to come.

Did dr. Mccarty see him?

Yes, he's got to stay in

Bed and rest for a month.

And not touch

A drop of whiskey.

Of course he cussed

At dr. Mccarty and--

[Holliday] katie! Katie!

Ah, yes, dear.

Wyatt's come to see you.

I don't want to see wyatt.

[Coughs]

I want my medicine.

You bring me my medicine.

He means his whiskey.

Now what am I going to do?

He won't take his milk,

And I promised dr. Mccarty I'd--

[Holliday] medicine.

My medicine.

[Coughs]

[Coughs]

Whole town's betting

You'll drink whiskey and die.

George morris has already bought

Your grave in boot hill.

They're fighting in all the

Saloons for the privilege of

Acting as pallbearers.

I wouldn't bet a dime

On your chances myself.

No, you go on back

To that filthy poison.

Swig the liquor down

And die quick.

They're digging your grave.

Don't disappoint them.

[Coughs]

I'll see you about the funeral

Arrangements in the morning,

Miss kate.

Wyatt, will it be

That soon?

[Wyatt]

The whole town's betting

On it.

Goodnight.

[Door opens and closes]

Why, george.

Shut up, katie.

I'm doing this

For a friend.

To marshal wyatt earp.

[Groaning]

Oh.

Put me in boot hill, will they?
