You're under arrest,
Mr. Craig.
I tried to be on your side,
Mr. Earp.
But you wouldn't let me.
Now I'm against you.
And you ain't gonna take me.
Yes, I am, boy.
All right, then.
We might as well
Find out right now
How good I really am.

[Narrator]
"The life and legend of
Wyatt earp,"
Starring hugh o'brian.
[Narrator]
Before wyatt earp had been
Marshal of dodge city
For very long,
His fame had spread
Throughout the west.
But fame,
As wyatt found out,
Is a coin with two sides.
It is both a reward
And a punishment.
It brings trouble
And carries responsibility.
It was wyatt earp's fame
That brought the boy
Jimmy craig to dodge city.
Hey, gabe,
Will you look at that.
Hey, son, where's this g*n
Taking you?
Right to break his leg,
Might'n to.
[Laughter]
Hey, ed,
Here's a gunslinger for you.
Something on your mind,
Mister?
I was just wonderin', son,
What man it is that you're
Planning to use that thing on.
Your old man know
You got a g*n, sonny?
You trying to pick a fight
With me, mister?
Now, son,
I'm a peaceable man.
Do you know
Who this is, son?
That's ed beatty.
Not even grown men
Pick fights with him.
[Laughter]
I don't care who he is.
He can't make fun of me.
Sonny, I think that g*n's
Gone to your head.
You better take it back
Where you found it.
This is my g*n.
And I can use it.
Yeah, I bet.
Even get it out
Of the holster without
sh**ting yourself, probably.
You want to try me?
I'd like to oblige you, son,
But you see
I'm not wearing g*ns.
There's a law in this town.
You gotta check 'em.
I'm a law abiding man.
You can get 'em.
I'll meet you
Any place you say.
Take my advice, boy.
Get rid of that cannon
Before you get yourself hurt.
I'll take that.
Glad you arrived,
Marshal.
He's a real dangerous
Character.
Didn't have to laugh at him,
Beatty.
Why not?
It's kinda funny.
[Laughter]
All right,
Go on about your business.
All of you.
Don't be too hard on him,
Wyatt.
He probably ain't k*lled
More than a few.
He ain't hardly had time.
Yeah.
[Laughter]
Wyatt?
Are you wyatt earp?
That's right.
Gee, I'm pleased to meet you,
Mr. Earp.
I come all the way
From wichita to see you.
Riding on that old mule.
You did, huh?
Yes, sir.
My name's jim craig.
Well, mighty glad to know you,
Mr. Craig.
Now what'd you want
To talk to me about?
Well, uh, it's business.
Can we go to your office?
All right.
Come in.
Now what's on your mind?
Besides arguing
With a g*n fighter.
That fella a gunfighter too?
Too?
Aren't you a little young
To be a gunfighter?
What's age got to do
With it?
It's how good
Can you use a g*n.
You can use this
Pretty good, huh?
Yes, sir. I been practici''
A whole year at home.
Where's home?
Like I said, wichita.
A farm right outside
Of town.
I set up targets
Out behind the barn.
Moved back a few feet
Every week.
You ever tried this
On a man?
No, sir.
Just targets and rabbits.
But I'm not worried,
Mr. Earp.
I'm good.
Plenty fast.
Don't see how anybody
Could be much faster.
Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you,
Mr. Craig,
Being fast is one thing,
But you, uh, you gotta also hit
What you're aiming at.
Now I just got one little
Question I'd like to ask you.
Yes, sir.
Why?
Why?
Well, I want to be a lawman.
Like you.
Just like you.
I heard all about you.
That's why I saved up and got
The g*n and started practicing.
Now I'm good enough,
So I come here.
Well, it's one thing
Being able to defend oneself
If you have to.
But deciding deliberately
To become a gunfighter
Even on the right side
Of the law...
You did it.
Not deliberately.
Not at your age.
Mr. Earp,
My mind's made up.
I come here to wichita
To be one of your deputies.
Mr. Craig, I'm not a hero.
I'm only doing a job
That somebody has to do.
And it's not easy.
Matter of fact,
It's kinda dangerous.
You seem to keep living.
Well, I been lucky.
But it's not a living
For a boy.
Now you go on back home
And grow up.
You'll think better of it
In a year or two.
You can't talk me
Out of this.
Look,
This isn't a play thing.
And the first time
You pull this trigger
Against a real man,
You're starting something
That's never ending.
Not until one of 'em
Ends it for you.
It can end mighty fast
For an inexperienced boy.
You better try staying alive
A little longer.
I'm asking, mr. Earp,
Do I get the job.
No.
I need men, not boys.
You want me to prove
I can use a g*n?
You want to come outside?
Are you threatening me,
Mr. Craig?
No.
But I'm gonna show you.
You fire that g*n
In dodge city, boy,
And you're gonna go to jail.
Then we'll go
Outside of town.
I wouldn't hire you
If you were the fastest g*n
I'd ever seen.
I heard you
Was a fair man.
I come all the way
From wichita to show you.
All right,
Maybe I owe you that much.
But I'm telling you
Right now, mr. Craig,
It's not gonna change my mind.
Pick up your shells.
[Ominous vocalization]
Camped here last night.
Couldn't afford the price
Of a hotel room.
All right,
Just stand over there.
All right, now.
Now.
Pretty good.
I just wanted to point out,
Mr. Craig,
That the single most important
Thing in a gunfight
Is not how well you sh**t,
But how well you face
The other man's b*llet.
I'll show you
I can do that too.
No, you're going on home.
You don't think
I'm good enough?
No, I think
You're too good.
sh**ting like that's only gonna
Get you in trouble.
I ain't afraid of trouble.
No, you're too ready
For it.
Trouble will come easy.
I'll be able to handle it.
Well, you might get away
With it a few times,
Get yourself a reputation.
Then all the fast g*ns
Will gather like flies
Around honey.
Sooner or later, you'll come up
Against one you can't beat.
You take my advice,
Mr. Craig, and go on home.
I had enough of that
Kind of advice from my pa.
And who's your pa?
His name's hanford craig.
He gave you good advice, boy.
You better take it.
No.
I left there for good.
I come here to show you.
And I will.
All right, I don't care
What you do,
As long as you don't do it
In dodge city.
You understand?
You stay out of dodge
With that g*n.
[Ominous vocalization]
Wyatt?
Looks like trouble.
What trouble?
That kid's back in town.
With his g*n?
Big as life.
And he's asking for beatty.
And I told him I didn't
Think that $ was enough
For a job like that.
Said I might take a chance
For about $ .
Well, sonny,
I thought the marshal took
That hardware away from you.
You do a lot of talking,
Mister.
Now you want to prove up?
You see I'm still not
Wearing any g*ns.
Well, like I said before,
Go get 'em.
I'll wait.
Look, boy,
I got nothing against you.
I like you. You got spunk.
I'm sorry if you took
My riding too hard,
But let's forget all about it
And then we'll eat dinner,
Huh?
Are you gonna get them g*ns?
Look, I don't fight kids.
Go home to your papa
Before you get yourself k*lled.
You afraid to try yourself
Against a kid?
Why you--
Beatty!
I told you
To stay out of dodge
With that g*n.
Now you're under arrest.
No!
Marshal, better keep him
Out of my way from now on.
You just see that you don't
Come looking for him.
You're gonna be sorry
For this.
You're not very smart,
Are you, mr. Craig?
You want to be
A gunfighter, huh?
Well, you know
How to use a g*n,
But you don't know
When to use it.
Now this morning you started
To draw against a man
That wasn't even armed.
Tonight you tried
To draw against me
After I had my g*n out
And already in my hand.
You're not gonna live very long
That way, mr. Craig.
I don't need no more
Of your advice, marshal.
Wow.
I guess I just don't know
How to handle kids.
You got to admire him,
Though, wyatt.
He's got spirit.
You know, it's one thing
To buffalo an adult.
You figure he knows what he's
Doing, that he had it coming,
But a kid...
Yeah, it is a problem.
I guess I need some help.
I'm gonna go send
A telegram to wichita.
Maybe his father
Can handle him.
Mr. Craig.
I'm marshal earp.
Where's my boy?
What have you done with him?
He's all right.
Safe inside.
You've got no right
To put my boy in jail.
He threatened to k*ll a man,
Mr. Craig.
Don't matter.
He must have had good reason
For whatever he done.
Let's go inside.
Now where is he?
Let him out of there.
Right now.
In a minute.
First don't you want
To know what happened?
I'll hear it from him.
I don't need
To take your word.
All right, hal.
Mr. Craig,
How old is jimmy?
.
You think he's old enough
To be wearing a g*n?
Why not?
I did.
Maybe you had to
In those days.
It's no different today.
A boy's got to grow up fast
Out here.
Doesn't have to grow up
To be a gunfighter.
The boy can take care
Of himself.
You really believe that?
I know it.
He told me you advised him
Against coming here.
Whatever's between him and me
Is no business of yours.
Well, it's business of mine
If he's g*n fighting
In dodge city.
[Door opens]
Hello, boy.
Hello, pa.
You all right?
Sure.
What happened to your head?
He buffaloed me.
You hit a boy?
If I hadn't, one of us
Might have been dead.
You got all the answers,
Ain't ya?
No.
One of 'em I haven't got.
What do you do with
A boy like that, mr. Craig?
He's a good boy.
He could be,
If he lives long enough.
You needn't trouble yourself
About him, marshal.
All right, I won't.
But you get him out of here.
Out of dodge city.
You take him on back to wichita
And you keep him there.
You got my g*n, marshal.
Mr. Craig, if you got
Any sense at all,
You'll keep this g*n from him
Until he gets old enough
Not to pick a fight
With everybody he meets.
Come on, pa.
And I thought you
Was a great man.
Come on, boy.
Get on.
I ain't going with you, pa.
'Least not yet.
Now look here, boy.
I wasn't gonna let on
To him in there,
But I already told you
How I feel about it.
Yeah,
We been all over that.
And I ain't changed my mind.
Now, jamie, I was willing
To give you a chance.
I figured if you was
Man enough to want to try,
You was man enough
To do like you said.
But it ain't worked out.
It will.
I changed my plan some.
No. That man in there
Might be right.
You might be biting off
A chaw too big for you.
Now you better come along
Home for a time.
I said no.
At least not
Till I tend to something.
What?
Well, you always said
Don't allow nobody
To insult us craigs.
Well, somebody did.
And I gotta tend to it.
Now listen here, jamie.
Maybe you better forget it.
Come along home.
No. Now you go on.
Maybe I'll catch up
With you later.
Jamie, come back.

Up the street.
Be in front of
The long branch saloon
In five minutes.
Jamie, you can't do--
You stay out of this, pa.
Jamie, you can't do this.
That man'll k*ll you.
I don't think so, pa.
Anyway, I got to now.
[Men shouting]
There's something
Going on out there.
Craig's wagon
Is still out there.
Marshal, you better come.
Where?
Man said in front
Of the long branch saloon.
He's gone for his g*n.
Beatty.
Yeah.
Marshal. Beatty's almost
A professional gunfighter.
What do you think
I been trying to tell
You and your boy?
Come on, hal.
[g*ns fire]
It ain't jamie.
No, it's beatty.
He's dead.
Never seen anything like it,
Wyatt.
Kid's as fast
As greased lightning.
Yes, sir,
He got ed beatty good.
In a fair draw too.
Where is he?
I don't know, marshal.
He just put up his g*n
And walked away
As cool as you please.
Well, mr. Craig.
He said he could,
And he did.
You realize what's happened
Now that he's k*lled a man?
You're meaning
I'm to blame?
Maybe I do.
Hal.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna arrest him,
Mr. Craig.
No, this was a fair fight.
They said so.
Even so, he'll have
To stand trial.
Don't you touch my boy.
[Groans]
He'll k*ll ya.
He won't be took.
You'll more than likely
Have to k*ll him, wyatt.
He's pretty good.
Don't take any chances.
If you hurt my boy, earp,
I'll k*ll you.
If I don't, somebody else
Sure will after this.
Who's there?
Just stay right there.
I guess maybe
You'll believe me now.
You're under arrest,
Mr. Craig.
What do you mean?
It was a fair fight.
You have to stand trial
Anyway.
The jury'll decide.
But you can't arrest me.
We ain't in dodge now.
Just come along peacefully.
Drop your g*n.
No.
I tried to be
On your side, mr. Earp.
But you wouldn't let me.
Now I'm against you.
And you ain't gonna take me.
Yes, I am, boy.
All right, then.
We might as well
Find out right now
How good I really am.
Here.
Be all right.
Get you to a doctor.
I'm sorry, boy.
Doc?
Shattered the bone
Above the wrist.
He'll pull through fine,
But that wrist
Is gonna be stiff.
Too stiff for farm work?
For farm work? No.
For gunplay, yes.
Well, you got your way,
Marshal.
Yeah, and you're
Still living, boy.
Marshal.
You said something
About k*lling me, mr. Craig.
No. I was wrong.
I guess maybe
I even ought to...
Thank you.
But I can't.
