The life and legend
Of wyatt earp
Rousting the mclowerys
Will only make
Matters worse.
Now, while you're looking
For a legal position,
Tombstone can be
Overrun with outlaws.
The minute we ride
Roughshod over anyone,
Even clanton's gunmen,
The law will lose
Public support.
The mclowerys
Are criminals.
I want them run out
Of tombstone.
Hear, hear.
All right.
You have your posse
Roust him,
And I turn in my star.
Turn in your star?
Now you listen to me.
No, you listen to me.
The mclowerys will fight.
Now, do you want a pitch
Battle in the street?
Women and children k*lled?
Our only real strength is that
We stand for law and order.
If we stoop
To outlaw tactics,
We're no better
Than the clantons.

Announcer: "the life and legend
Of wyatt earp..."
Wyatt earp's insistence
That the law must be fair
Placed him at a disadvantage
In the fight
To hold tombstone
Against the clantons.
Typical of wyatt's refusal
To use unfair methods
Was his clash with
Tom and frank mclowery--
A strict adherence
To the law
Which was to lead
Sometime later
To the famous battle
Of the o.k. Corral.
Frank ain't gonna
Like our moving.
Neither is
Old man clanton.
Tom, you promised me.
I can't stand living here
Another day.
Oh, I know it's been
Hard on you, aithra.
There's more to it
Than that.
- ( Horse approaching )
- Uh-oh. My brother.
Hiya, frank.
What's going on
Here?
You leaving us, aithra?
I told you last night.
We're moving
Into tombstone.
So she talked you
Into it.
I made up
My own mind.
She's been
Wearing the pants
Ever since you brought
Her here from chicago.
If she was my wife, I'd--
You'd give me
A p*stol-whippin'.
Well, I'm still moving.
She's no good.
Keep out of
This, frank!
She's my wife.
Then stop giving in
To her!
You afraid of
Mr. Clanton?
I ain't afraid of nobody.
Look, frank,
We can still work
With the old man.
Not living in
Tombstone we can't.
That's wyatt earp's town.
There's bound to be trouble.
Well, I ain't busting up
My marriage on earp's account.
We'll see what the old man
Has to say about that.
Oh, look, frank.
Let's give in to her.
She'll get her fill
Of tombstone,
And in a few months,
She'll be glad
To move back here.
I've got to give her a chance
To do what she thinks
Will make her happy.
Go on.
Go on, frank,
Well, whether I say so
Or not, mr. Clanton,
They're leaving.
She's wearing the pants,
And there ain't nothing
I can do about it.
Hmm.
Well...
You know something, frank?
Huh?
It might not be
Such a bad idea,
Moving to tombstone.
Yeah?
I still own the o.k. Corral.
It ain't no good to me
For hidin' or lootin' anymore.
Earp's on to that.
Say, why don't you and tom
Open it up again
As a livery stable?
There's a house
Right next door
I'll let you have
Rent-free,
And you can hire some
Saddle tramp to do the work.
If that's what you want,
We'll do it.
( Laughs )
That's what I want.
( Laughs ) my main
Notion's to stick
Some spurs into earp.
Imagine.
We'll have a fort
Right in the middle
Of tombstone.
( Laughs )
That's smart, mr. Clanton.
That wife of tom's,
She's smart, too.
Why don't you let her
Run the business?
Nothing like work
To keep a woman
Out of mischief.
Besides, I want
You mclowerys to--
Well, I want you to keep on
Riding with me.
Don't you worry about
That, mr. Clanton.
We'll always be
Riding with you.
Me and ringo
Don't like the mclowerys
Taking over
The o.k. Corral.
So you've been listening
Behind doors again.
I want no more of it.
They're gonna make you
Lots of trouble.
Earp's got
A safety committee.
Trouble with you
And ringo is
You're jealous
Of the mclowerys.
You always have been.
They're really my top g*ns.
You don't like that.
Now, mr. Clanton--
Don't try to pull
The wool over my eyes.
If anything happened to me,
You and ringo is aiming
To take over.
Well, there ain't nothing
Gonna happen to me.
You got us all wrong.
No, I ain't.
Why don't you ride on
Into tombstone?
Forbid the mclowerys
To live there.
Go on.
Try it.
We ain't figuring on
Anything like that.
I say you ain't.
Tom and frank would lay
You both in boot hill.
Now go on,
Clear out of here.
It just doesn't
Make any sense--
Mclowerys moving
Into town to open up
The o.k. Corral.
It does according to the story
Of the honorable mayor clum
That's spread all over
The front page of his newspaper.
Claims this is the start
Of another clanton try
To take over tombstone.
( Chuckles )
What, with just
The mclowerys?
We've cleared
Clanton out before.
What could be his
Reason this time?
Hello, doc, wyatt.
Wyatt, I've just told
d*ck gird to round up
The vigilantes.
What for?
What for?
I don't want
The o.k. Corral
Turning into
A clanton hangout.
I want the mclowerys
Run out of tombstone.
We have no legal reason
To do that.
The safety committee
Thinks otherwise.
Well, you're the mayor.
You can order that, but...
But what?
Rousting the mclowerys will
Only make matters worse.
Now, while you're looking
For a legal position,
Tombstone can be
Overrun with outlaws.
The minute we ride
Roughshod over anyone,
Even clanton's gunmen,
The law will lose
Public support.
The mclowerys
Are criminals.
I want them run out
Of tombstone.
Hear, hear.
All right.
You order the posse
To roust them,
And I turn in my star.
Turn in your star?
Now you listen to me.
No, you listen to me.
The mclowerys will fight.
Now do you want a pitch
Battle in the street?
Women and children k*lled?
Our only real strength is that
We stand for law and order.
Now if we stoop
To outlaw tactics,
We're no better
Than the clantons.
All right, wyatt.
All right.
I'll tell the safety
Committee to hold off
For a while.
But I want the mclowerys
Watched day and night.
They will be.
( Indistinct dialogue )
Morning, ma'am.
Morning.
I'm wyatt earp.
I'm aithra mclowery,
Tom's wife.
Nice to know you.
Tom and frank
Around?
Not right now.
I have a few questions.
Do you think you could
Answer them?
Why don't you come
In the office?
Thank you.
Mrs. Mclowery,
You certainly keep
This place very neat.
Thank you.
You enjoy living
In tombstone?
So far.
Why'd you leave
The ranch?
Is it against
The law?
No, but you, um...
Belong to the clantons.
Mr. Clanton had
Nothing to do with
Our moving here.
It was my idea.
Oh?
Well, I was raised
In chicago.
I couldn't stand
Living on the ranch.
Ranch life
Is very difficult,
Especially for a woman.
The loneliness was awful.
At least here, I can
Walk down allen street
And see people.
Well, didn't
Tom and frank object?
At first.
Then I won tom over.
What about frank?
I'm not married to him.
Let's talk about
Mr. Clanton.
Well...
He gave us a half interest
In the livery stable
Just for managing it.
And rent-free.
I never knew
He was that generous.
Are you, uh...
Are you satisfied to have
Your husband work for him?
Why shouldn't I be?
Clanton's an evil man.
He destroys everything
He touches.
All right, mrs. Mclowery,
That'll be all.
You, uh...
You tell tom and frank
I'll be watching them.
Mr. Earp,
Wait, please.
I want tom to quit
Mr. Clanton.
I want him to lead
An honest, decent life.
That's why I talked him
Into moving to tombstone.
You think you can
Change him?
Mr. Earp,
My husband loves me,
And I love him.
I want to keep on
Loving him.
I want to bear
And raise his
Children and...
I want to see him
Respected.
I can change him.
I know I can.
Well, you've certainly
Got your work cut out for you,
But I wish you luck.
Man: marshal!
Marshal, there's a dead
Man at the o.k. Corral.
I found him hanging
From the rafters
And cut him down.
Don't know when
He got strung up,
Unless someone k*lled him
While I was eating supper.
He's been dead
Longer than that.
He's cold as ice.
You get some help.
Get him over to dr. Goodfellow.
I want an autopsy
Right away.
Yes, sir.
We take
The mclowerys?
Yeah.
I'd better go
Around back.
No. The mclowerys
Never run.
You're asking
For it, deacon.
Who is it?
Marshal earp.
I want to talk
To tom and frank.
They're asleep.
What's wrong?
There's a dead man
In the stable.
No!
Tom and frank had
Nothing to do with it.
Maybe not, but I have
To hold them until I make sure.
Miss aithra,
Are you still there?
Yes.
I want you
To do me a favor.
Before you wake
Tom and frank,
I want you to hand me
Over their g*ns.
If you don't,
They'll come out sh**ting
And one of them
Might get k*lled.
Miss aithra, please hand over
Their g*ns.
Your faith in human nature
Touches me.
Thank you.
- Aithra!
- Stay!
What's going on
Here?
What is this?
A roust?
What'd you give
My g*ns for?
I told you
She was no good.
There's a corpse
In your stable.
You're lying.
I'm arresting you both
On suspicion of m*rder.
I told you.
They had nothing
To do with it.
They haven't been
Near the stable
All day, and they--
They went to sleep
Right after supper.
I still have
To arrest them.
- What for? We didn't--
- I said stay!
Easy, doc.
The law will have
To prove they did it.
Now, you'll be
Safer in jail.
When the vigilantes
Hear about this,
They'll be loading
For bear.
I promise you
They'll all be fair.
Now get upstairs and put
The rest of your clothes on.
We're going to jail.
Go on, move.
Oh, hello, wyatt.
What about the autopsy?
Death by strangulation.
Two or three days ago.
That's what I thought.
From the condition
Of the body,
I'd say he was strung up
Out in the desert
Like a rustler.
Oh?
Any, uh...
Any identification?
None.
You know, there's just
One man that I know
Who would hang
A rustler instead
Of sh**ting him.
Captain roland?
It's just a guess.
His spread is beyond
My jurisdiction,
But I'll have
To find out.
When clanton hears
You've jailed the mclowerys,
He'll ride
Into tombstone
And take it apart.
You can't leave now.
Maybe you're right.
I'll send doc out.
You're going to
An awful lot of trouble
To prove these
Gunslingers are innocent.
Well, they are innocent
Until proven guilty.
Besides, frank and tom would
Never bother to hang a man.
They'd just use b*ll*ts.
Why don't you send
Shotgun out to talk
To captain roland?
Because roland
Might talk to you,
And because mr. Gibbs
Is in tucson.
Now you find out all you can
And hurry back.
Doc holliday riding off
On a wild goose chase
To save
The mclowerys' necks.
Can you imagine that?
Now, the law must be fair.
Well, if clanton
g*ns you down
While I'm gone,
I'll engrave those words
On your tombstone.
Hyah!
They had no right
To talk to me like that.
I saved their lives.
Once they're free,
They'll...
They'll forgive you,
Miss aithra.
( Door opens )
Wyatt.
Wyatt, have you got
Both the mclowerys?
Yeah, but I don't think
They did it.
Didn't do it?
The body was found
Hanging in the barn
At the o.k. Corral.
The autopsy shows that
The body's been dead
At least two days.
Now it's my guess that
Somebody put him in there
To pin the blame
On the mclowerys.
Can you prove that,
Wyatt?
I think I can,
When doc gets back.
Mrs. Mclowery, I'm sorry.
This is mr. Clum, our mayor.
- Mrs. Tom mclowery.
- Ma'am.
She says that tom and frank
Had nothing to do with it.
Well, the courts will
Have to decide that.
Meanwhile,
The safety committee's
Going to be standing by.
That won't be necessary.
Won't be-- wyatt,
You're here all alone.
What if clanton tries
To bring those hoodlums
Of his in here
To spring those
Two murderers?
They're not murderers.
Well, the vigilantes
Are going to remain
Under arms
Until they're
Brought to trial.
( Door opens and closes )
You'll heist
The sandy bob stage
Right outside tombstone.
When earp's
Safety committee
Hightails it
After you,
You lead 'em as far out
Of town as you can,
Show a little fight,
Take off.
Any questions?
Get started.
Well, you sure took
Long enough getting here.
Where's ringo?
At galeyville,
Sleeping off a drunk.
Hmph.
Reckon you heard.
Earp jailed
The mclowerys.
I told you
There'd be trouble.
Hush up.
Some varmint strung up
A man at the o.k. Corral
Whilst the mclowerys
Was asleep.
And seeing that grin
On your face,
I got a suspicion
It was you and ringo.
Oh, no,
You're all wrong, boss.
We'll see.
You start them boys
Drifting into tombstone
By twos and threes
And see they work their way
Gradual to the jail.
You planning to bust
The mclowerys loose?
You're darn tootin' I am.
I ain't letting my top g*ns
Stay in earp's jail.
Wyatt!
Wyatt.
( Door closes )
Sandy bob stage
Has been held up,
Just outside of town.
Oh?
Luckily the vigilantes
Are all ready.
They're waiting
For you.
Well, you lead 'em,
Mr. Mayor.
Me lead them?
Man, that's your job.
You're the law here
In tombstone.
That's just why
I'm staying in town--
To enforce the law.
Well, what about
The stage holdup?
I think the clantons
Pulled that
To get the safety committee
Outside of town.
What makes you
Think that?
Because most of clanton's
Gunmen are in town.
You think they're here
To spring the mclowerys?
Yep.
I'll get the safety
Committee to surround
The jail.
No.
Your first idea was better.
You let them take off
After the sandy bob bandits.
Wyatt, that leaves
You here all alone.
If that posse stays here,
It's gonna be
The bloodiest street fight
That tombstone's
Ever seen.
Now you don't
Want that, do you?
Of course not, wyatt.
Well, I don't think
Clanton wants it, either.
If I'm alone, I think
I can talk to him.
He's listened to me before.
He won't this time.
I'll take that chance.
Now, will you get
The posse started?
Good luck, wyatt.
( Door opens and closes )
( Horses galloping )
Well, what do you know?
The vigilantes rode off
Without earp.
Hmph.
Too bad for him.
Earp!
Earp!
You got seconds
To turn the mclowerys loose.
Turn 'em loose.
The mclowerys stay
Right where they are.
In a way, earp, I'm kinda
Glad you decided that.
I've been waiting for this
For a long, long time.
Now that makes
Two of us.
You go ahead and start
sh**ting, mr. Clanton,
If you want to.
But if you do,
I'm going to get you first.
Mr. Clanton, I believe
The mclowerys are innocent,
But I have to have proof.
I think I'll have it
Before the day is over.
( Horse approaching )
Hold your fire!
You were right, wyatt.
That corpse
Was a rustler
Captain roland
Caught red-handed.
He tried
To sh**t his way out,
Wounded two
Of roland's men,
And the captain
Had him strung up.
How the body get over
To the o.k. Corral?
Johnny ringo asked
Permission to cut him
Down and bury him.
Clamed he was a friend
Of his and brocius.
You bring the mclowerys
Out here.
And holster that g*n
And keep it holstered.
Ringo and brocius.
I knew it.
I knew it!
Stoopin' to a miserable
Trick like this
To get rid
Of the mclowerys and me--
If I give 'em the chance.
Well, they'll never live
Long enough to see that day.
Brocius!
Where's brocius
And ringo?
Never mind, frank,
I'll take care
Of them.
You go on and pack
Your belongings
And move back
To the ranch.
And if that wife of
Yours don't like it,
Let her come
Complaining to me.
- Come on, aithra.
- No.
I don't want to be
The wife of one of
Clanton's gunslingers.
I've had enough of your
Telling me what to do.
You're coming with me.
No!
Look, aithra,
You're my wife.
I want you
To come with me.
You heard what
The lady said.
Are you all right?
What are you gonna do?
Go back to chicago
Where I belong.
Thanks, mr. Earp,
For keeping
Your word.
Suppose I hadn't
Made it in time.
Then you could have engraved
Those words on my tombstone.
What words?
"The law must be fair."
