Announcer:
"The life and legend
Of wyatt earp"...
Narrator:
In the s, there were
Many bandit gangs
Who plundered
The southwest,
And among them were the very
Successful bank robbers
Called the harlequins.
Five cunning K*llers who
Disguised themselves as clowns
To conceal their identity.
It was a device
Which enabled them to elude
Some of the most famous
Law officers of the west.
Stand back!
What kind of
Getup's that?
It's one of the harlequins.
You've heard of them before.
The harlequins?
You mean them
Bank robbers?
That's right.
Let's see what he looks like.
Gibbs:
A harlequin, huh?
What might your
Real name be?
( Irish accent )
Oh, you needn't be
Asking me that,
For I'll never
Tell you.
It doesn't matter.
All we have to know
Is that he's a harlequin.
Get him over
To dr. Goodfellow.
Have him patch him up.
I'm gonna follow
Those others.
If you find
The harlequins,
It's a dead marshal
You are.
Meaning no disrespect
To yourself, of course.
Thanks for the warning.
All right, give me hand
With mr. Funny face here.
What are we doing here?
Why'd you make us stop?
I'll tell you later.
Joe, put the horses
In that abandoned
Mine shaft.
Give me that money
You're carrying.
Well, we're in
The clear now.
We're out of sight
In this shack.
I'm gonna
Get me some sleep
Before we head on back
To tombstone.
Back?
Well, now that's a real
Brilliant idea.
What about the money?
Are we gonna take that
Back too?
No, we're not gonna
Take that back too.
We'll hide it under
The floor,
That is unless you've
Got a better idea.
No, I didn't mean
To make you sore.
Well, start getting
Out of that rig.
Just the same, tex,
It ain't smart
Going back there.
We've been together
Two years.
Two years we've had
Our agreement.
One of us
Gets cocked,
The rest
Gets him out.
Now it's plain
And simple.
Y'all agreed to it,
And they'll be no
Backing out now.
Look at it sensible, tex.
Nobody knows us.
We don't need casey anymore.
That's right.
We disappear and live
Like kings somewhere.
Well, now you boys
Is overlooking just
One little thing.
Casey knows who we are.
Oh, he wouldn't
Tell nothing.
No. No, he'll be
Real quiet till
We come get him.
But the day he figures
We're long gone,
That's the day when
Everybody finds out
Who we are.
You savvy?
You know, he's right.
Tex, you think
We lost that marshal?
( Scoffs )
Even indian trackers
Would have a hard time
Following that trail in them
Rocks we come through.
You and newt get started
On that floor.
And don't mark up
The wood.
( Crowd talking, shouting )
Well, mr. Mayor,
What am I gonna do?
I can't give those people
Their money, not all of them.
You've got enough on hand
To pay out some, haven't you?
Sure, but that ,
Last night, I can't replace it.
No bank could.
Well, you, um...
You try to keep 'em
Satisfied until
Wyatt gets back.
Maybe he had
Some luck.
It ain't gonna be easy
Getting casey out of that jail.
Well, the marshal's got
To go to bed sometime.
And he sleeps
At the hotel.
Oh, and newt, you let me
Worry about it, huh?
You just do what you're
Told, same as always.
Yeah, let tex
Worry about it.
Even casey's smart.
I wish casey
Was here now.
So does he.
Tombstone will be
Full of cowboys dressed
Just like we are.
We go in
Same as anybody.
When the time's right,
We move on the jail.
All right?
( Crowd talking )
Boy, am I glad to see you.
You have any luck?
Yep. All bad.
Tracked in
The rock country,
Lost the trail.
Went beyond
To brush country,
Still couldn't
Find it.
Well, sir, this whole
Town's in uproar.
Everybody's scared
To death they ain't
Gonna get their money.
Wyatt, it appears to me
We're gonna have
To take out a posse
Just to cool things
Down a mite,
Whether we catch them
Fellas or not.
I got a hunch
The harlequins
Are gonna come back
To tombstone.
Come back? For what?
Him. They gotta get him out.
Ha!
With $ ,
To divide between 'em,
They're clean across
The border by now
Or traveling first class
To new york.
They're too smart
To leave him behind.
They've never been caught,
And they've never
Been identified.
All they have to do
Is drift into tombstone
Without their costumes
And take their chances.
We won't know who they are
Or where they are
Until it happens.
Well, sir,
If you're right,
We got a whoppin' job
On our hands.
We've got one advantage,
Mr. Gibbs.
They got to come in here
To get at him.
Ah, lad!
So you didn't catch
Me harlequin boys after all.
That's a pity now.
You had that massive long ride
All for nothing.
Well, any pity is yours,
Not mine.
You can smile,
But you're a liability
To the harlequins
Now that your face
Is known.
A clever fellow you are,
Marshal wyatt earp.
But you don't know it all.
You see, me secret lies
In the other things I be.
Such as keeping
Your mouth shut.
Well, if the boys think
That you won't talk,
They can't just let
You stay here in jail
And keep the money.
Or k*ll you right in
Here just to keep you
From squealing on 'em.
( Laughs )
You'll have to do
Better than that.
I'm not frightened at all.
No?
Well, try this one out.
When you stand trial,
The record of
The harlequins
Will put you in prison
For the rest of your life,
Even if we don't know
What your name is.
You'll never get me to trial.
You have me promise
On that.
I wouldn't count on
Breaking out of here
If I were you.
Your friends will never
Get you out of my jail.
And I give you
My promise on that.
I'll be watching
To see how you go about
Capturing the harlequin boys.
Oh, you're a bright one
For certain.
Good day to you, marshal.
What'd he say?
Nothing.
He's waiting for
A jailbreak.
You gonna put on
Extra deputies?
No.
Just scare 'em off with
Too heavy a guard.
Yeah, I guess
You're right.
You know, he sure talks
With a brogue, don't he?
( Irish accent )
And why would you be
Saying that, lad?
Oh, it is a pity to be finding
Myself in jail it is.
There now. Be a good lad
And unlock the door for me.
Well, burn my hide.
You take him off better
Than he does hisself.
You know, wyatt, you ought
To have been one of them
Playactor fellers.
That's darn good imitatin'.
( Door opens )
Wyatt. Shotgun.
How'd you make out?
( Regular voice )
I lost the trail.
Well, can you come down
To the bank right away?
Mr. Stacey says
Unless something's done,
Why, he's gonna go
Bankrupt.
I don't know
What I could do.
At least you can
Talk to the man.
( Irish accent )
I won't be long, lad.
Keep your eyes peeled
And your g*n ready.
Oh, get along out of here,
Will you!
( Laughs )
What's, uh...
What's that all about?
( Regular voice )
Huh?
Oh, just imitating our
Prisoner in there.
( Crowd talking )
Man:
Go on, mr. Clanton!
Get right in there!
Hold it right there, earp.
I want to talk to you.
What's this I hear about
The bank being robbed,
Cleaned out by
A bunch of clowns?
You heard right,
Mr. Clanton.
Are you trying to say
It wasn't your outfit?
Hush up!
Every time anything
Happens around here,
You think it's me.
I run a big business.
And my boys got
Plenty to do
Without messing around
Trying to rob banks.
You done anything about
Finding that money?
Is your vigilantes
Doing anything to help?
Now you--
You seem awful interested
In law enforcement
All of a sudden?
How come?
Jehoshaphat!
I got money in
The place, that's why!
And I'm getting it out
Right pronto!
Then I'm going over
To that arizona bank
And do the exact
Same thing!
I ain't waiting for it
To get robbed!
Clanton, you got any idea
What'd happen
If everybody does that?
The banks would go broke,
And people will lose
Their money.
You're wasting your breath.
Mr. Clanton doesn't care
What happens to other people.
Well, now I care enough
To give you a piece
Of advice.
You catch them fellas,
Or I'll see you fired
Right out from under that
Star you're struttin'.
Ain't no clowns gonna
Make a fool out of me.
So emperor clanton
Doesn't like outsiders
Pulling jobs in town.
That's too bad.
Never mind!
You just start being
A john law, sonny,
Or take
The consequences.
How about that.
Clanton acting like an honest,
Righteous, outraged citizen.
He's outraged, all right.
But he did give me
An idea.
Oh?
You tell mr. Stacey
I'll see him later.
Where you going?
Tell you when
I get back.
Mr. Borden, all I'm
Asking you to do
Is to loan some of
Your bank's cash
To the tombstone bank.
You'll get it back, sir.
I don't see any reason
For helping your
Competitor, marshal.
It's his own fault
That he was robbed.
Pure carelessness.
He takes the same
Precautions you do, sir.
And that's
Beside the point--
I'm sorry.
I can't agree.
Why, if people found out
What I was doing,
There'd be a run
On my bank.
Sir, if I could
Guarantee that nobody
Would find out about it,
Would you do it?
Why should i?
Because if the tombstone
Bank goes broke,
There'll be a financial
Panic that would
Ruin everybody.
Do you want that?
Why, no, of course not.
Then do as
I ask you, sir.
We can make the transfer
Of the money sometime
After midnight.
Mm... All right.
Meet me at : .
Thank you, sir.
I'll be here.
( Crowd murmuring )
( Inaudible )
( Door closes )
.
Call.
I'm out.
Three kings.
( Knock on door )
Who is it?
Tex.
Lock it again.
Come over here.
All right, now I want
One of you boys at this
Window all the time.
Don't take your eyes
Off the jail.
Anybody comes out,
Anybody goes in,
I want to know
About it.
All right?
I went back and got me a real
Good look at that jail.
( Chuckles )
It ain't gonna be
Hard at all.
We'll just, uh, wait
Till the marshal leaves,
The deputy goes on patrol
And, uh, shoo--
Casey's out.
( Chuckles )
All right, let's deal
The cards,
See how it's
Running tonight.
Nothing happen?
Nothing except
I'm getting darn hungry.
Go get yourself
Some chow.
Get something for
The prisoner, too.
He'll be around here
A while.
If there's
Anything I hate
It's sitting around
And waiting for
Something to happen.
I'd rather be
In a sh**t.
Maybe we can help it along.
Well, I sure hope so,
Because I just ain't
Cut out for this.
Tex.
That big deputy
Just left.
Marshal stay inside?
Yeah.
Keep watching.
All right,
What'll you have?
I'll take two.
Hello, mr. Mayor.
Wyatt.
I checked
The cosmopolitan hotel
Like you asked me to.
Four men registered
In today.
They're, uh...
They're in the room
Overlooking the jail.
Fine.
Next you ask mr. Stacey
To close up the bank,
Regular hours.
Post an announcement
That he will be paying
Withdrawals again tomorrow.
Now, wait a minute, wyatt.
He can't do that.
He won't have
The currency.
He'll have enough
By morning.
Not the holdup money,
But he'll have enough
From another source.
All right.
I'll tell him.
You know, uh, wyatt,
You aren't sticking
Your neck out, are you?
Yeah, way out.
Out to here.
But I thank you
For asking.
Well, that's done.
Your vigilantes ready?
Well, I got four
Picked men.
They're gonna meet me
In exactly minutes.
Oh, uh, the tailor
Brought those packages
For you, wyatt.
I told you where
I lost the trail
Of those harlequins.
Yeah.
You have your men
Stay out of sight.
Don't worry.
We'll do our job.
You just take care
Of yourself, wyatt.
Shotgun.
Yeah.
Hmm. What do you got there?
A new suit?
Here, put these on.
Put it on?
What for?
I can't wear
Your clothes.
They're not mine,
They're your size.
Tailor's been
Working all day,
Trying to get them
Ready for you.
Well, are you gonna
Tell me the scheme,
Or are you gonna
Let me guess?
I want you to dress up
Like me,
Go out the front,
Pretend like you're
Heading for my hotel.
But you cut around
And come in
The rear door,
Put your own
Clothes on
And then pretend
To go on patrol.
Well, what are you gonna be
Doing if you can't go?
( Irish accent )
I'll be getting rid
Of our clown a while.
We'll put the dear lad out
And me in his cell.
Yeah. Say, that's a pretty
Tricky idea, wyatt.
( Regular voice )
There's one part of this
I haven't told you yet.
Yeah yeah, I know.
Don't warn me about
Not sh**ting nobody.
I ain't gonna sh**t
Unless I have to.
No.
We're gonna let 'em
Get their man.
I mean, I'll be in
Casey's clothes.
Oh, no, you ain't.
You'll get yourself
k*lled.
So you can just forget
About that right now.
It's the only way
I can find out where
The money's hidden.
There ain't no bank
Worth getting yourself
k*lled over.
We'll capture 'em when
They come in here,
And that's enough
Right there.
You and the vigilantes will
Be following me, mr. Gibbs.
Yeah? How far back?
Just far enough so
We can't hear the horses.
Wyatt, if you get
Yourself k*lled,
And I help you do it,
I'll never get over it.
I won't get k*lled.
( Irish accent )
Now put on your new clothes,
There's a lad.
And be trusting me
The once.
Well... All right.
It ain't my style.
The marshal
Just left, tex.
Deputy still there?
Yeah.
Keep watching.
Good.
Now get your own
Outfit on
And get back here
As soon as you can.
Tex.
The deputy's leaving.
Hmm?
Let's see.
All right, boys.
This is what we were
Waiting for.
Now, newt, you go down
The back way.
Get the horses.
Take 'em to the alley
Behind the jail.
- You got that?
- Yeah.
All right.
Get your tote bag.
Go get 'em.
You give newt
Two minutes,
Then follow him
Down the back way.
You go out the front.
I'll follow you
In two minutes.
Now cut around
Behind the jail
Quick as you can
And wait for me.
All right, go get him.
Well, how do I look?
A fright.
( Irish accent )
And how is it now, lad?
You'd never it was my own
Dear self, now, would you?
I sure wouldn't.
You better get in that
Cell while you still
Got time.
( Regular voice )
Don't wait too long
To follow me.
Casey!
How come you still
Got that rig on?
( Irish accent )
And what do you think
I'd be wearing this night?
I've been expecting your
Some time, I have.
Don't get sore.
Sorry we took so long,
But it couldn't
Be helped.
You hurt?
Me arm, it's only
A scratch. Come on.
Take your saddlebags.
We got the money
In that shack, casey,
And it's hid
Real good.
You did the right thing,
My boy.
We'll be getting it
And then go on our way.
You boys get started
On the floor.
You don't have
To worry about us
Being followed, casey.
They probably
Don't even know
You're gone yet.
Ain't you gonna
Get out of the rig?
We ain't got all day.
Yeah, casey.
How come you haven't
Took off your mask?
It's not a ghost
You're seeing, lads.
( Regular voice )
Marshal earp of tombstone.
You're under arrest.
Hold it!
Reach!
You all right,
Wyatt?
Yeah.
Mr. Gibbs,
Put the handcuffs on 'em.
All right, boys,
Put some iron on 'em.
You and the vigilantes
Take 'em on back to town.
Mr. Clum and I will
Take the money.
Well, the bank's
Sure gonna be glad
To see you, wyatt.
All I want out of this
Is to see mr. Clanton's face
When he hears we caught
Those no-good clowns.
