( Humming melody )

( Chattering )

Nothing on him

To identify him.

Well, his horse must be

Out there. Go check

The saddlebags, will you?

All right.

We got...

One shot in the small

Of the back from the rear,

One shot

Through the wishbone

From the front.

You say, uh,

He had this g*n

Pointed at you

When you swung around

From the cash box

And fired?

That's right, wyatt.

Isn't that kind of a risky

Thing to do-- I mean, firing

Into another man's g*n?

Impulse, I guess.

Just flashed

Through my mind.

I saw the g*n

Lying in the cash box,

And I thought

I could surprise him.

I did.

- You swung around

And fired?

- Mm-hmm.

It's pretty good sh**ting

For anybody, much less

A bookkeeper.

Most men know

How to sh**t.

Well, you're either

An expert or you're

Pretty lucky.

You're questioning me

Like you don't believe me.

No, not at all, harry.

I'm just marveling.

In my business,

Marvels never cease.

Bookkeeper fires

Two shots, both shots

Hit the mark.

How come you, uh,

Put the second shot

In the back?

The first one must've

Spun him around.

I thought I missed him.

I thought he'd turn to run,

And so I let go

A second one.

I didn't know

Until I looked at him

That I hit him the first time

And must've spun him.

No horse out there

Belongs to him, wyatt.

Every one

Of 'em's got an owner.

None of the owners is him.

That just doesn't

Make sense.

No man's gonna try

And pull a robbery

Without a getaway horse.

Or maybe he was

Working with somebody.

Take another look.

Look for a lone rider

With a spare horse.

Why don't we stop

Being policemen, wyatt,

And give harry credit

For a good job well done?

By nightfall,

He'll be a public hero.

Drop into the texas house.

I'll stand treat myself.

Thanks.

Well, maybe

Paul's right.

Harry, let me be

The first to

Congratulate you.

- Thanks, wyatt.

- I'll take a look at

The wanted posters tonight.

Maybe there's

A reward for you.

Ollie, you stay here.

I'll get doc fabrique

To come over

And make a coroner's report.

Right.

- Wyatt, I located the horse.

- Ah?

Black's corral.

I wasn't even thinking

Of asking black.

Just told him

About the robbery.

It's when I told him

What the dead man looked like.

- He identify him?

- This time I'm ahead of you.

Dead man's name

Was luke miller.

Horse's brand was a double-b.

That's the texas outfit

Camped in the creek.

You know,

He doesn't seem much

Like a robber, does he?

If you're mixed up now,

Take a look at this.

This'll really confuse you.

It's harry drew,

With a mustache.

I was kinda hoping

You wouldn't catch

The resemblance--

At least,

Not so quick.

Harry dolan.

Member of the jesse james g*ng.

Wanted in kansas city

For robbery and m*rder.

- You suspected him?

- No.

I was looking for

The dead man, instead

I find the hero who shot him.

I haven't looked through

This old file once

In a month of sundays.

Why did I have to be

Such a bird dog

This one time?

Yeah, I know

How you feel.

Seemed like such

A likeable fellow.

Nice, hardworking,

Likeable fellow.

Well, it's more than that.

Ollie was talking to harry

While doc was making out

His coroner's report,

And he told ollie

That his wife's coming in

On the 'morrow morning stage.

Ooh, rough.

Tell you what, wyatt.

I'll toss you

For who has to

Pick him up.

That can wait.

Right now I want to get

A wire off to kansas city.

Get some more

Information on harry.

I'll take a ride

Out to the creek

First thing in the morning,

Have a talk with

The dead man's outfit.

By the time I get back,

We ought to have some word

From kansas city police.

I hope you have

A quiet night.

- I hope so.

- Good night, wyatt.

None of us ever

Did get to know

Luke miller very well.

- Now he's dead, huh?

- Yup.

Well, he was sort of

A sour cuss.

He liked

His own company

Better than ours.

You ever hear much

About his past?

Well, he wasn't

The kind of fellow

You'd ask about his past.

Saw him sh**t

The head off a rattler

From horseback once.

Well, none of us

Thought we would like

To argue with him.

Think he might have been

The g*nman

On the dodge?

Oh, I don't know.

Could be.

Wouldn't be the first time

An outlaw hid himself

In a cow outfit.

Sure, I'd heard talk

He'd been with

The jesse james g*ng,

But, well, you know

How cowpokes talk.

Yeah.

Well, thank you,

Mr. Murray.

See you around.

- Anything new?

- Yeah.

- Your answer came

From kansas city.

- Oh?

- They want him.

- Oh, by the way, the westbound

Stage come through yet?

No, it's running late.

You pick up anything

At the cow camp?

Oh, just west-bag talk.

It's a funny thing, though--

The idea's got

Around the outfit

That the dead man--

- Luke miller?

- Yeah, used to ride

With the jesse james g*ng.

Him too?

That sure is funny.

- What do you make of it?

- I don't intend to make

Anything of it.

Kansas city's got

The first call

On harry.

Far as we're concerned,

Harry's a paid-up hero.

Um, look,

Why don't you

Put a couple

Of clean blankets

In cell two?

Harry might as well

Be comfortable

Until he leaves us.

All right.

- ( Knock at door )

- Come in.

Ah!

Morning, wyatt!

Morning, harry.

You'll excuse me

If I have to hurry.

Got to meet my wife.

What a celebration

We had last night.

By the way,

I don't remember

Seeing you there.

I was, uh, working.

What brings you out

So early this morning?

More questions?

Kansas city

Just answered

My telegram.

The charge is

Still active.

Just when I send

For my wife.

Just when I think

I'm safe.

How long will you get

In kansas city?

Thirty years.

Me and--

Me and another prisoner

Broke loose on the way

To the pen.

That wasn't any robber

You k*lled yesterday, was it?

Listen, wyatt,

My wife didn't know

Anything bad about me

Until I was caught and tried.

She lived on the farm

Next to me in missouri

When we were kids.

And even after I was caught

And tried, it didn't make

Any difference to her.

She would've waited for me.

Thirty years.

No woman's gonna

Wait years.

I had to be free.

Look, harry, it's not

Gonna do you any good

To tell me all that.

I was too young

To get in the w*r.

But I was there when

Jesse and frank james

Came riding home.

I listened to frank

Talk one night.

He told about

How the banks

And the railroads

Were running it over us,

And it seemed right

To fight it.

At the time,

It seemed right.

Harry, there's nothing

I can do.

Look, wyatt,

You've known me

All these months.

I've been living

Honestly,

Just waiting for

This chance to bring

Ann out here.

Put an end to all

This grief and misery.

Let me show--

Not taking any chances,

Are you, marshal?

I'm sorry.

Force of habit.

Now, you, uh--

You were gonna

Show me something.

Forget it.

Come on,

Let's go.

Hold it.

All that talk

Frighten you,

Marshal?

No, just the part

About your wife.

I apologize for that.

She's gonna

Have to be told.

Shouldn't be hard

For a man like you.

Well, I was thinking

It might be easier on her

If you met the coach,

Brought her up here,

And told her yourself.

All right, I admit it:

It'll be easier on me too.

You'd let me

Bring her up here?

Don't worry, my deputies

And I will be watching

The front and rear.

I'll give you till sundown

To say what you have to say.

Thanks.

Oh, uh...

What I wanted

To show you

Was my bank book.

Honest money,

Honestly saved.

Yeah, I know, harry.

Come on.

Hey.

Good lookin',

Isn't she?

What did you expect?

Oh, wyatt, you're

Kinda hard to figure,

Given a fella like--

Never mind.

Go keep an eye

On the hotel.

Isn't it almost time

For dinner, harry?

I'm starved.

Almost sundown.

What's wrong,

Darling?

You've been

Trying so hard to be

Cheerful all afternoon.

Ann,

Caught up with me.

They found out?

Here?

How, harry?

How?

Luke showed

Two days ago.

Luke miller?

Well, that shouldn't have--

- You escaped together.

Why should he--

- He followed me.

Found out I was

Working for wages,

Living decently.

He wanted , ,

Or he'd turn me in.

What did you do?

I k*lled him.

Oh, harry!

See, ann,

Can't get

Away from it.

Don't.

Don't talk like that.

- The law's outside

Waiting to take me.

- Why, harry?

Why did you have

To k*ll him?

Why didn't you

Give him the money?

He would've gone away.

The crazy part

About it is,

They don't want me

For the k*lling of luke.

I made it look

Like I shot him

As a common robber.

As a matter of fact,

The townsfolk are

Celebrating me as a hero.

What the marshal

Wants me for is

Kansas city.

They dug up an old

Poster of me,

Yellowed and dusty

With age.

You shouldn't have

Run away, harry.

I told you,

You should have stayed

And made it up,

Whatever you

Had coming.

You can't live like this--

k*lling to stay free.

- Ann, please don't

Talk like that.

- But what'll you do?

You can't

Keep on running.

You want me to live like

Jesse james' wife?

You told me yourself

How it was with her--

Always waiting

And dreading,

Smiling and lying

To her children.

Must it be like that

For us, harry?

I'm afraid so.

Either that way

Or not at all.

I don't ever intend

To go back to

Kansas city.

( Sobbing )

Ann, ann.

- How are you, paul?

- Okay.

If you want to get those

Affidavits on the noon

Coach, you'd better hurry.

- They got it

Pretty near loaded.

- I'm finished.

Might as well

Tell you, wyatt,

There's some nasty talk

Going around town.

- Usually is.

- People don't like

To be fooled.

Don't like to spend money

Buying drinks for

A public hero one day,

And next day

He's in jail.

What's harry supposed

To do, give 'em

The money back?

Oh, it's not harry

They're mad at,

It's you.

So be careful

When you make

The rounds.

You know, paul, one of

These days the sun's

Gonna rise on wichita,

And there's not gonna

Be a single citizen

Mad at me.

That's the day

I turn in my badge.

Eddie, would you get this

In the mail bag for me?

Ah. Can I

Help you, miss?

I'd, uh--

I'd like a revolver.

- A revolver, miss?

- Yes, please.

Any particular

Make or caliber?

I-- I don't know--

Uh, that one.

That's a nice-looking one,

Isn't it?

Well, I've never

Thought of it

As nice-looking.

Uh, tell me, miss,

Is this a gift

For a male friend

Or relative, perhaps?

- Uh, yes.

- Well, it's kind of

Unusual.

You see, most men

Prefer to select their--

Well, would you know

The purpose?

- Is it to be used for

Hunting or as a sidearm--

- Please, sir.

Um, if you want to know,

The g*n is for me.

Uh, I'm going west

With my husband,

And I've heard stories

About the indians.

I didn't want

To alarm him, so--

- I understand, miss.

- I'll, uh--

- I'll take that one,

If you don't mind.

- The . . Yes, ma'am.

And cartridges

To go with it.

It ain't much good

Without cartridges.

I'll put it

In a nice box

For you too.

( Knock at door )

( Knocking continues )

Yes, sir?

I'm marshal earp.

May I come in?

I... Don't often

Visit the wives

Of the men

I arrest.

What is it

You want?

You know, you don't

Look like the kind

Of a woman who--

Who'd be married

To harry dolan,

Outlaw?

He's your prisoner.

What difference

Does it make to you

What I am

Or look like?

I just don't want to

See you get hurt.

And I don't think

Harry does either.

I couldn't be

Any more hurt

Than I am already.

I don't understand you.

Look, why don't you

Just go home?

It'll make it easier

All around.

You needn't worry,

Marshal.

You won't have

An hysterical woman

On your hands.

I'll be leaving.

Thank you.

Good day, mrs. Drew.

I, uh--

May I see him

This evening?

- Certainly.

- I, uh--

I don't know

Anything about

These things, sir,

But if I could

Pay you enough money--

It's been done.

I'm not that innocent.

Harry meant to go

Honest, marshal.

We were going

West to california.

He had saved some money.

Nobody would have

Known about him.

Isn't there anything

I could possibly do?

What about the man

Your husband k*lled?

What about luke miller?

Oh, surely, marshal,

You can't call that a crime.

Why, the whole town knows--

The town only knows

What it reads

In the paper.

But I know

And you must know

That the man

Your husband k*lled

Is no ordinary robber.

I don't know

Anything about him.

Well, I didn't expect you

To tell me anything.

You're loyal,

And I understand that.

But this is what I mean

About your being hurt.

As long as harry lives

And keeps on running,

He'll have nothing

But trouble, mrs. Drew.

Good day, marshal.

Oh. Good evening,

Mrs. Drew.

- Good evening.

- May i, please?

Nothing personal intended.

It's just a regulation.

Thank you.

Go right in.

Paul, you take over.

I'm gonna make my rounds.

All right.

Did you bring it?

Let's have it.

Now.

Must it be

Like this, harry?

Nobody's going

To get hurt.

I have everything

Figured.

But you must do

Exactly as I say.

Eddie, let me see

The shotgun, huh?

- A beer, ya laddie.

- Evenin'.

Howdy, wyatt.

Sure caught you out

This afternoon, didn't it?

Caught me out?

It's good and clean,

Eddie.

That pretty lady

You followed to my store.

You was sure

Givin' her the eye.

Well, there's nothing wrong

In appreciating beauty,

Is there?

Well, appreciating's

Just about as close

As you ought to come

To that particular

Lady, my friend.

You know what

She bought off me?

Henry, I haven't got

The slightest idea.

I know you'll think

I'm kidding, wyatt,

But that pretty lady

Bought herself

A g*n off me.

- A g*n?

- Yep, a g*n.

Imagine that.

It was a . .

You know what she said

She wanted it for?

Said she was scared

Of... Indians.

( g*nsh*t fires )

- What happened?

- Harry's loose.

He buffaloed me and got loose.

( Whinnies )

Stop it, harry,

Or I'll sh**t!

- What is it, wyatt?

What happened?

- Harry's loose.

He's gone

In the livery stable,

And he's armed.

I'll take the rear,

You two men take the front.

Get everybody off the street!

Watch yourselves!

He's a member of

The james g*ng!

Earp:

Might as well

Give up, harry.

We've got you cornered.

- Wyatt--

- Get the doc.

G-- give this to ann.

Where is she?

South road.

Hays' ranch.

Tell her...

Did it... For her.

Harry. Harry.

Where's harry?

- He won't be coming

To meet you.

- ( Gasps ) no!

I'll drive you back

To town, mrs. Drew.
