02x14 - Nineteen Notches on His g*n

[bunniefuu]

Wyatt, do you really think

We're gonna get away with

Pretending to be texas

Outlaws on the run?

We got no other choice,

Mr. Masterson.

Could never blast

Butch henry and his boys

Out of there with a posse,

So, if you can't

Lick 'em, join 'em.

Sure, but-- what happens when

They find out they have

Wyatt earp and

Bat masterson in camp?

And butch henry has

Notches on his g*n?

Well, if we get caught,

Then either mr. Henry's

Gonna be carvin'

Two more notches

Or he'll be dead.

At least we got

An even chance.

Come on.

[Announcer] the life

And legend of wyatt earp,

Starring hugh o'brian.

Wyatt earp,

As marshal in wichita

And now in dodge city,

Had met some of the top g*ns

Of the western frontier.

He had outfought

The notorious manon clemens.

He had outfought

John wesley hardin,

In a final showdown.

He had persuaded

Clay allison to run

From dodge city

Rather than face a duel

With s, man to man.

But the case of butch henry,

Cattle thief and k*ller,

Presented a new problem:

Not much was known about him,

And he chose to await

A battle with the law

On his own fighting ground,

In the rocky wilderness

Known as

The salt river bend.

[Men holler, cows moo]

Mr. Birode!

What happened, bill?

That butch henry g*ng--

Th-they attacked us

In the brush, and they

k*lled ranson and herb,

And then they...

We'll take him to

Doc mccottie in dodge.

I'm gonna see

Wyatt earp about this.

[Coughs]

And we're small fry in

The cattle business, marshal.

We couldn't take

The law into our own

Hands if we wanted to.

And we're asking you

To organize a posse

And go after that g*ng.

I know you've had

Trouble with cattlemen

From the big outfits, but...

None of our boys.

Well, that's got nothing

To do with it sir.

It's just that...

Well, technically

Sheriff bassett has

The jurisdiction.

I know he's home

Sick, but...

Well, his chief deputy,

Bill tillman...

He's not here, marshal.

He rode to the fort this

Morning to check a cheyenne

Outbreak down south.

I guess that

Leaves it up to me.

Good.

So you think that

Butch henry's holed up

At the salt river bend, uh?

We know he's there,

Marshal.

And he's got head

Of our steers.

Salt river is

A good hideout,

And we're going to need

Quite a few men.

Well, I never like

To use a posse,

Unless it's a last resort.

Marshal, butch henry

Has k*lled at least

Men.

He's on the run

From east texas.

They've got good peace

Officers in east texas,

But they didn't

Take butch henry.

I'd like to take

A crack at it.

Well, we're in

Your hands.

I reckon this is

One of the few times...

That any cattlemen ever

Came to you for help.

Yes, it is.

And I appreciate it.

I want butch henry

As much as you do.

And here's another

Thing, zach.

We've run off

All the beef we can

Rebrand and sell, right?

Well, a couple of the boys

Can hold them here.

So why don't the rest of us

Pull a raid on dodge?

They tell me them gambling

Houses are just loaded

With cash money. Right?

No.

What do you mean, no?

George morris tried it.

He's a big-headed fool.

He tried to take

Over the whole town.

I mean, a quick raid!

Wyatt earp's in dodge.

Aw, now zach!

Don't tell me we're scared

Of that cow town marshal.

Notches, and I'll

Cut me number

For mr. Earp.

Zach. You ain't

Scared of earp?

Never laid eyes on him.

Well, neither have i!

But that's no reason to be

Taking him so serious!

Who's he ever k*lled?

Look, a man don't get

An honest reputation

Without no notches

In his g*n, right?

I'll think it over.

Where ya going?

Check on

The cattle guard.

You think about it

Some more, butch.

But I figured on

Startin' at sunup.

No.

Aren't you going to tell me

What this is all about?

No sense in worrying you

Until it's necessary.

Oh, marshal earp.

I just got it finished.

It's a good joke,

You and mr. Masterson

Being wanted

For train robbery

In texas.

What?

"$ , Reward

For morg pickett

And bill jepson,

"Alias the

Amarillo kid.

"These men held up

A texas & pacific train,

"k*lled two county sheriffs,

And fled from texas.

"Signed, n.b. Avereaux,

Captain, texas rangers."

What is this?

Morg pickett

And the amarillo kid.

That's you and me.

Thanks, mr. Mckay,

That's a real

Good fast job.

Thank you.

Remember, keep this

To yourself.

Otherwise you'll

Spoil the joke.

I won't say a word, marshal.

Come on, mr. Masterson.

So in order to keep from

Having to take a posse

Into the salt river bend,

I decided to try

For an inside job.

A character

Like butch henry...

Being this far north,

Probably could use

A few extra hands.

Couple of characters

Like morg pickett and...

The amarillo kid

Stand a good chance

Of being hired on.

You be sure and remember

Those names.

Only one thing wrong

With the idea.

What's that?

I know texas, and I can

Talk the language.

But they'd spot you

For a yankee in two minutes.

Well, sonny, ain't you

Never heard me talk texan?

Well, ah heard so much

Texas talk up here

In the north

That I'll be dang-goned

If I don't seem to be usi''

That accent in my sleep.

Besides, they call me

Silent morg pickett.

So kid, you'll be

Doin' all the talking.

All right.

But what if they start asking

You about places in el paso,

Fort worth and san antone?

Well, it's a long ride to

Butch henry's. You can tell

Me about 'em on the way.

Well, s'posin' they do

Let us join him? Then what?

It's not too big

Of an outfit,

About nine or ten

g*ns, at the most.

Anyway, they'll be busy

Holdin' those steers

In the bin.

I think we stand a pretty

Good chance of taking

Butch henry and

A couple of his men if

The others don't butt in.

Suit yourself.

Well, smokin' 'em

Out with a posse

Would be a lot worse.

When do we start?

As soon as we can get

The right clothes together,

We got to go in there

Looking like outlaws.

[Chuckles]

For gosh sake, don't

Take that buntline special.

They've never seen you,

But I've bet they've

Heard of that g*n.

[Chuckles]

Thank you for

Reminding me.

I'll feel kind of

Naked without it, though.

Yeah. Whoa, boy.

Want some water?

Yeah.

Yeah, you were telling me

About big kate's place,

Down in waco.

What did she look like,

And what do you remember

About her?

She's not so awful big,

Just kind of thick-like.

She has blue eyes

And dark hair--

But don't get me wrong,

She's got a real good figure.

She runs a saloon

And dance hall.

The girl's names are

Midge, susie, anna mae,

And dolores.

Well, I'll tell ya, sonny,

That's a mighty heap

Of remembering.

What about cattle annie's,

Down in fort worth?

Well, that's

A long story, morg.

Price of the herd

Is .

That figures, uh,

. A head.

Well, that's too steep!

Why, a lot of the brands

Have been messed up,

And the changes.

Cash,

Or it's no deal.

Sorry, gentlemen,

I can't go above , .

Why, you ain't allowi''

For the risk I run.

Hold it.

Zach.

See how much

He's got on him.

What are you doin'?

Shut up.

You can't do this

To me!

Where do you keep it?

Oh, we got visitors.

You let me alone!

I said, shut up!

I got friends

That'll take care of you.

If I ever get--

Oo measly bucks.

You get out

Of camp, quick.

This is just robbery!

I'll...

No. Not with

Strangers around.

Didn't you hear

Those warning shots?

Get on your horse

And don't look back.

That's just plain robbery!

Ah, shut up.

Get up there.

Hyahh!

Who are ya,

And what do you want?

You mr. Butch henry?

I ask the questions.

You answer them.

They seem kind

Of hostile, morg.

Reckon we better try our

Luck with another outfit.

Don't rush off.

You boys on the run?

Could be, mister.

You forget you saw us,

And we'll forget we saw you.

Come on, kid.

Let's push on.

Nope.

Can't see no reason

For quarrelling'.

You know, it sound like

You might be from texas.

Yeah, we are.

Texas rangers?

That's a dirty word, mister.

Ease it off, morg.

Morg don't care

For rangers.

Neither does zach.

Your pal had it right.

I'm butch henry.

He's zach newcomb.

Alight down.

I never turn

Texas boys away

From my camp.

Well, if he's really

Butch henry, I guess

It's all right.

You know, you sound

Pretty big-headed

For a trail ghost.

I don't think

I like mr. Newcomb,

Or whatever his name is.

Ease it off, morg.

You'll have to make

Allowances, mr. Henry.

Morg and i, we been

Traveling far and fast.

That ain't morg's

True nature.

That's just his

Belly growling.

They're hungry.

Go tell sam to rustle

Them up some grub.

Pronto.

We sure do thank you kindly.

Reckon we could

Eat a whole steer.

He's morg pickett,

And I'm bill jepson.

They call me

The amarillo kid.

- Howdy.

- Howdy.

Reckon we better show mr.

Henry our calling card, uh?

Sure.

"Calling card," uh?

Well, that's as good

As any with me.

Better than most.

You fellas seem to know

Your way around,

Givin' the rangers

A go-by.

Zach, take a look

At that.

Guess there ain't no harm in

Having a friendly little chat

While sam fixes up

Your grub.

Come on.

Boss.

Yeah?

Ain't wanted

In kansas.

Well, what's the diff?

They're on the run.

Which one of you

Is the boss, anyhow?

You or him?

I'm butch henry!

Ain't you never

Heard of me?

Sure he has! You're

The top g*n in east texas.

Notches.

!

I got me two more

The other day.

Notches.

I invited these boys

To eat here.

You making any objection?

Nope.

That satisfy you?

Yeah, I reckon so.

Take care of their horses.

Come on over

To the fire.

Give me a plain walnut

Grip on that colt,

And you can notch it

Without chippin' it.

Yeah, that's right,

Mr. Henry.

Shall we ask him?

Don't make no difference

To me, either way.

Ask him what?

We're nobodies, compared

To you, mr. Henry.

But I was wondering

If you could use

A couple of extra hands.

Well, I don't know.

Either of you

Any good with a g*n?

Well, we got us

Two sheriffs.

From ambush?

Morg ain't had

Too much practice,

But I'm a fair hand

At shootin'.

Here, let's see you

Hit that.

Sure.

Not bad. How about

Your draw and sh**t?

Well, I can do

A drop the dollar.

You're braggin' a little,

Ain't ya, kid?

Give me a dollar.

Say, that's pretty good.

Got the shot off before

It ever hit the ground.

What do you say, zach?

We can try 'em.

But we don't want his pal.

Nothin' doin'. Morg and

Me left texas together.

We stay together.

Listen to newcomb.

What does he do, bury

The bodies for you?

That's enough.

Quiet!

We're friends, morg.

Look. The kid

Can handle a g*n,

And we can use him.

I'll use morg as one

Of the cattle guards.

Now blow on your soup.

It's too hot.

You fellas are hired.

Go catch a nap someplace.

You look beat.

Thanks, mr. Henry.

Ease off, will ya?

Looks like butch

Has called a pow-wow.

What was the idea

Of getting so tough

With newcomb?

He's the real boss.

How do you figure that?

Butch does too much talki''

To be a fightin' man.

Yeah. Only notches.

I think zach does

His killin' for him.

Aw, you don't know

What you're talkin'--

Shut up and listen to him.

Boys, all we could get

From that cow trader

Was bucks.

[All chattering]

Now zach'll cut it up,

Share and share alike.

We just couldn't

Unload them steers.

Quiet! Quiet.

I've got an idea

How we can pick up

Some quick money.

There's plenty of

The stuff in dodge.

All spread out in

Them gambling joints,

Just ready to be took.

Now what do you say?

Zach told us it wasn't

A good idea!

That right, zach?

That what you said?

- No.

- Why, you dirty,

Double-crossin' liar!

You said-- you--

I run this outfit,

And I don't take no backtalk.

And no lies

About newcomb.

Any of you other boys

Scared to go to dodge?

All right.

Bury him.

Zach got off

The first shot!

Yeah, he usually does.

Why does he let butch

Take all the credit?

They're watchin' us.

Go on to sleep.

I think we ought to hit 'em

Tonight, while the gambling's

Going full blast.

Not with those

New men in camp.

We can use the kid!

Maybe.

Not the big one, though.

All right.

I'll leave the big one

On cattle guard.

No, I want to

Talk to him first.

Now look. There's already

Been one k*lling in camp.

The kid's gonna

Stand by his pal.

You call the kid over here.

I want to talk to pickett

When he's all by himself.

Now, zach--

You do like I say,

Real quick.

All right. All right!

Hey, kid!

Kid, come on over here!

You want morg too?

No, he can work

On the fire.

Go on. I'll cover ya.

What part of texas

Was you born in?

Part of texas?

Yeah.

Where was you born?

El paso, why?

That's funny.

I was born

In el paso.

Maybe we're neighbors.

Name me some

Of the streets.

You lived there.

You know their names.

I'm asking you.

No, you're trying

To call me a liar.

It's their fight, kid.

I don't like you,

Mr. Newcomb.

I told you that.

Now you got the gall

To ask the questions.

I don't like that.

No?

Sit down, mr. Newcomb.

Before I'm tempted

To break both your legs.

Hold it! Any of you want

To pick up his fight?

Mr. Henry's comin', morg!

I got no quarrel

With mr. Henry.

I ought to finish

You off, you polecat.

You don't like newcomb?

I despise him! None of the men

Ever liked him, either.

[Chattering]

Patch him up.

Put him on his horse.

I don't want him

Around my camp.

I never saw two handier

Men with g*ns.

Why, you're almost

As good as I am!

Well, that's a big

Compliment, mr. Henry.

Sure is!

Downright flattering.

No, I mean it. I got

A special proposition

To make you.

You heard us talking

About a raid on dodge?

Well, if you're game, I'll

Cut you in on equal shares.

Well, fine! You hear

That, morg? We're in!

Well, I don't know, kid.

What's wrong?

Raidin' a big town

Like that.

Why don't we just

Round up them steers

And point 'em south

Toward the indian nations?

You scared o' wyatt earp?

Earp? Who's that?

He's the john law in dodge

With the big reputation.

But he ain't

As fast as I am.

Well, I'm not threatened

About no earp.

We better think about it.

If I was you, I wouldn't put

Mr. Newcomb on a horse.

No, the way he's feelin',

He's liable to head

Straight for dodge

And rouse up

That whole town.

That's right. I'd better

See that he's tied up.

And you keep workin'

On morg, kid.

He'll come around,

Mr. Henry.

You aimin' to bulldoze

That whole outfit into town?

I slipped up on

A serious point.

Should have told those

Cattlemen back in dodge

What you and I were

Going to try and do.

You couldn't do that.

They'd have talked.

Yeah, but I should

Have trusted them.

No, I made a big mistake.

If those cattlemen come

High-tailing it out here

With a posse--

Well, let's grab

Butch and zach.

Make a run for it,

Like you first planned, huh?

No, butch has got more men

That mr. Birode figured.

Got nine here in camp.

I figure at least another

Ten out on cattle guard.

Well then, we'll have to get

'Em all started on the raid.

Hmm.

If there's a posse headed

This way, some hoodlum

Is sure to beat 'em here

With the news.

Yeah, that's right.

You, uh...

Go tell butch

You won me over.

Right.

How much further

To the bend?

Maybe five miles.

But we're all

Pretty tired, hank.

Wyatt was a fool

To try an inside job,

But if they haven't

k*lled him and masterson,

We owe them a chance.

I hope it isn't too late!

Now there's just

One more thing.

Some of you men been

Out on cattle guard,

So you ain't met

Morg pickett and

The amarillo kid.

Morg is the man

That crippled newcomb

In a stand-up gunfight.

I was gonna sh**t the rat

Myself, only morg took

The job off my hands.

Now I want you all

To do me a favor:

When we pick up

Them other men,

And we hit dodge,

You leave wyatt earp

To me, to morg,

And the kid.

All right,

So we ride.

- Hold it!

- Posse comin', butch.

Not more than a mile behind me.

How many of 'em are there?

I couldn't tell.

Wyatt earp with 'em?

No. Him and bat masterson

Snuck out of town two days ago.

What?

Hey!

Haw!

Get that g*n

On that dirty--

Don't k*ll 'em,

Just wing 'em.

Yeah.

Come on, men! Don't let

Anybody get away with this!

Hold it, butch!

I want 'em.

Too late. Take cover!

Move around 'em!

I want this

Dirty john law!

We can't stay here.

Quit hidin'!

Come on out!

Are you crazy?

Come on out, earp!

And I'll make it

Twenty notches!

Drop him, wyatt.

Hold your fire, men!

I want earp to come out.

I'm a-waitin', earp!

Aren't you gonna

k*ll him?

No.

It's what I wanted to do

To you in the pollock ambush,

But you wouldn't trust me.

Yo, let's go get him, men!

You hit?

No. But we're not

Coming out of this one.

Hold your fire!

[Hoofbeats]

Hold it, men!

Come on, drop your g*ns.

Come on, all of you.

Out of there. Drop your g*ns.

You there. Come on out.

Line 'em up

And tie 'em, boys.

A close call, marshal.

You're right, sir.

We'd like to thank you.

That's butch henry,

But he's not really

The tough one.

The tough one

Is zach newcomb.

He's tied up

Over there.

So butch henry

Isn't really tough.

The cattle thief with

Notches on his g*n.

Well, he's just

A big blowhard, sir.

I'll tell you all about it

Back in town.

I told you.

Just got a headache.
