[Humming]
(Male narrator)
Violence in the west
Took many forms.
Friction between soldiers
And settlers was one of them.
With the fort just outside
The town, dodge city
Became an arenafor such
Violence more than once.
All it took was
The appearance of one old man
Who followed an ancient hatred.
There he is.
Right there.
You buffalo hunters still think
You can run things in dodge?
Who says we can't?
- I do.
- You?
You ain't big enough
To make that stick.
- I'm big enough to lick you.
- You wanna try?
Why not?
Why, are you slabs
Out of your blue.
Jake castor, you old gopher.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Come, let's have a drink.
Well, I'll tell you
I don't drink.
And especially with men
That are breakin' the law.
- g*n?
- Yep.
What kind of town
Are you running there, boy?
- Well, it's the law, jake.
- Law?
First thing I've heard, a man
Had to keep his eye on clothes.
That's out in the tooley's,
Where you lose, not in dodge.
Really, wyatt?
Well, anybody else
But you.
You want the sharps, too?
No, you just keep that
In your saddle boot
And everything will be fine.
Well, now I'll have a little
Drink of milk with you.
- Hey, soapie.
- 'Yeah?'
- Bring us a round, will you?
- 'Alright.'
'Wyatt, what does
That thing say?'
You old good, haven't you
Learned to read yet?
What for?
Out where I lived talking
In sign is all that matters.
You do that pretty well,
Too, don't you?
In any indian language
You can name.
It's more than I can do.
Well, uh, alright.
I never thought I'd see then.
You always did have
A wide streak
Of righteousness in you.
I thought you've
Gotten over that by now.
Well, I haven't
Changed much, jake.
Ain't a boy
No more, wyatt.
Well. Yeah,
The years go by.
Yes, they do.
Don't they?
And what are you doing
These days?
Oh-h. Things ain't
Like they used to be.
Times have changed,
To the bad.
Remember, how it was
The first time I took you out?
Buffalo soles take
The paint off of his black
With him as far as the eye could
See. She's like a rollin' ocean.
Yeah, I remember.
Them days I heard was maybe
Two or three million animals.
Now you're lucky even
If you can find even ten
In a minimum 'cause of hunting.
I know.
Serious, wyatt.
Why do you need
This fighting?
You can't blame him.
He's starving.
You wanna see there tonight,
Quit hunting for the fortune
Trying to feed the soldiers.
I'm living with the cheyenne.
With your wife's people?
My wife's, it was.
Oh, I'm sorry, jake.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Plenty buckles here.
Do you mind?
Yeah, especially at night.
Fort's not too far away
And today was pay day.
- Yes, I know.
- Well, you ought to celebrate.
Got every deputy
On the street.
Which reminds me
I better get to work.
Say, by the way, you, uh..
...you didn't tell me
Why you were here in dodge?
Maybe I've come
To see the town.
You don't care
That much for towns.
Maybe I've come
To see you.
Why you old gooch, you didn't
Even know I was here.
You know, you ask an indian
A thing three times
And the third time
He has to tell you the truth.
- I'm asking you the third time.
- I've come to see a fella.
What fella?
- Don't matter.
- Why?
I mean it must be
Important otherwise
You wouldn't have come
All this way.
I've got a score to settle.
I'm sorry to hear that.
- Why?
- Well, I'm the marshal.
Knowing how you
Settle your scores.
Well, that could mean
Trouble for you and me.
Well, you my friend,
Ain't you?
- Yeah.
- No need to worry then.
(Soldier # )
'I asked you to move over.'
You leave me alone.
Just because you're an--
- Who do you think you are--
- That's enough, soldier.
Hey, you better watch out,
Marshal, I got friends.
If you boys start any trouble,
You're gonna wind up in jail.
Now go on, do your drinking
Someplace else.
- You can't tell us what to do.
- Come on.
You heard the marshal.
Now go on.
Thanks.
I wasn't thinking of you.
I was thinking
About the bail.
There ought to be a law
Against those ruffians
Coming to town, marshal.
Shoving on the citizens around.
If you're not hurt, mister,
Go back to your drinking.
Are you siding
With them, earp?
Look, they got a hard
And lonely job to do
Protecting all of us.
They deserve a little spree.
- Hey, soapie?
- Yeah?
Where did
The buffalo hunter go?
I don't know. Guess
He must have left, marshal.
- I'm alright.
- You're alright.
Look, you sit down
Right here. You sit down.
You sit down.
I'll get the horse.
Okay, sergeant.
You get the horse.
[Grunting]
Huh?
Sarge?
Sarge.
Sarge!
I'll k*ll him. If I ever get
My hands on him, I'll k*ll him!
- You leave that to me, soldier.
- Oh, no.
I know you
Low-life civilians.
If it's a blue coat you
Don't care. You don't even try.
Well, you watch.
Sarge has got friends.
If you just stop
Yammering long enough
To tell me what you saw,
I'd have a better chance
To get whoever did it.
I didn't see anything.
Marshal, you don't think
It couldn't have been indians?
Those are
Markinson tracks.
It's the way they do it.
- And the hair.
- No.
An indian wouldn't take
That chance, not in dodge.
Well, you better
Find him, marshal.
You better
Find him quick.
Because if you don't..
[Soft humming]
[Humming continues]
Huh?
Whoa, what?
What are you doin' here?
Well, looking for you.
Had a hard time
Findin' ya.
Yeah, can't sleep inside walls,
On them soft beds.
You're up mighty early.
I'll tell you,
I haven't been to bed yet.
How long you've been here?
Some little time,
I reckon. Why?
You've ever hear of a big guy.
A sergeant named mccafferty?
No, I can't say I have.
I don't brag it with soldiers,
You know that. Why?
He's been k*lled.
Indian style.
Yeah?
Scalp. With a knife like that.
By a man wearing markinson's.
You think I k*lled him, wyatt?
I haven't any other
Suspect, jake.
He probably had it
Coming to him.
Besides, what reason
I have to k*ll him?
I don't know.
You said you had
A score to settle.
It was mccafferty
That you were staring at
In the saloon last night.
That's who?
And you're bitter, jake.
And why shouldn't I be?
- Don't pay to be bitter.
- You know how our life was?
Kinda life a man
Could be content with.
Kinda man was meant to live.
Yeah, but you can't stop a whole
Nation bent on moving, jake.
You gotta accept
What's bound to be.
Son busters,
Cow wranglers, bone pickers.
They are people
Looking for homes.
- They gotta live, too.
- And what about us?
They just better
Stay out of my way.
And them blue coats.
Them is the worst.
Murderers. All of them.
Mccafferty?
You really think I k*lled him?
Yeah. I think so, jake.
If I said I did,
What would you do about it?
Only one thing
I could do.
Wyatt, you and me.
We mean two different things
When we say "friend."
This is just a boom,
If I k*lled a blue coat..
- Did you, jake?
- What reason would I have?
Did you?
Wyatt, I already
Told you--
Did you, jake?
I ain't no indian, wyatt.
Where you goin'?
Well, first up, I'm going
Over to the fort.
So, should you go to?
Gotta take back
The body.
Try and stop the trouble
That's bound to come.
If you think I did it
Ain't you afraid
I'll run out on you?
Well, if you do,
Then I'll know.
And I'll come after you.
My friend.
My friend.
That's right, jake.
You're gonna have
To tell me yourself.
[Soft humming]
[Humming continues]
Well, marshal.
Surprised you
Ventured out here.
I brought the body.
You needn't have bothered.
We were sending the detail.
Sir, I'd rather you kept
Your men out of dodge
Until after
This is cleared up.
My men wear the uniform
Of their country.
They can go anywhere in these
United states they wish.
- Including dodge.
- Of course, sir.
But I don't think you want
Trouble any more than I do.
The cavalry doesn't look
For trouble, marshal.
But they're ready for it
When it comes their way.
'You just worry
About your civilians.'
Well, the civilians
Don't start every fight, sir.
But that's not what
We're talking about now.
We'll discuss that in a few days
After I get the m*rder*r.
Do you really think
You have a will?
Maybe.
I'm not concerned
About where my men go off duty.
But, sir, you...you could
Keep them on the post
Under orders
For a couple of days.
I could, but I won't.
In fact, I've already given
Leave to b company today
After the burial.
That's mccafferty's company.
Sir, that's deliberate
Incitement to riot.
Is that what you want?
You realize that will
Cause more bloodshed?
If you can't keep
Order in dodge
I can arrange to have
Martial law declared.
- Then you better do that now.
- Maybe I will, tomorrow.
Unless, of course, you can find
The man who did it first.
- Will you help me?
- How?
I like to take a look
At mccafferty's service records.
Why?
Because I think it was
A personal grudge.
Maybe we can find
A clue in the records.
I can't give you that.
We have orders from washington.
Well, then, at least let me
Talk to some of his friends.
I don't know if they'd
Even talk to you.
Thanks.
[Door opens]
Well, marshal, this
Is mrs. Mccafferty.
I come to see the man
Who brought him.
I come to thank you, marshal,
For bringing him home to me.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Are you?
Are you, marshal?
Then why don't you find
The man who did it?
I'm trying to.
Will you help me?
Help you?
Colonel, could I speak to
Mrs. Mccafferty in your office?
Well...alright.
Sit down, ma'am.
Now, mrs. Mccafferty
Can you tell me
Any reason anyone might have
For k*lling your husband?
Only that you
Didn't protect him.
That you let a lot of scum
And K*llers run around loose.
Well, I think
This is personal, ma'am.
Did your husband
Have any enemies?
Patrick? Not an enemy
In the world.
He was an angel.
Yes, ma'am, but..
...was there
Anything in the past?
I mean, before he met you?
You'll not be getting me to say
Anyone had a right to k*ll him.
Did mr. Mccafferty
Ever mention a man named
Jake castor?
Castor?
No. No, never.
It's not help from me
You'll be needing, marshal.
Well, where was
Your husband born?
Ohio, I think.
He came to colorado as a boy.
Colorado? He joined
The army there?
Yes.
'Colorado volunteers?'
During the civil w*r.
Well, could have there been
Something about the indians?
Cheyenne?
It was the colorado volunteers
At st. Creek, wasn't it?
Please tell me,
Mrs. Mccafferty.
Oh, no, it-it couldn't be.
Surely.
But he was at st. Creek.
Tell me.
Well, it was the only thing
He ever did he was ashamed of.
Bothered him
Certain awful for a time.
'You understand
He was under orders.'
Yes, ma'am.
But he said something
Seemed to happen
To all the men
That day. Even him.
They seemed to go crazy
With the indian k*lling.
You heard, it was horrible.
'Even their women
And children.'
I mean, he couldn't
Get it off his mind.
He used to wake up at night,
Crying and mourning and..
Well, I told him
He had to forget it.
That the lord
Would forgive him.
He had made
A better soldier out of him.
'He hated the indian fights'
'But he did his job
The best he could.'
He was a good man.
Yes, ma'am.
Well, thank you,
Mrs. Mccafferty.
Maybe you gave me
The answer I needed.
[Soft humming]
Wyatt, I've lined up
Some men for deputy's
And commandeered some
Wagons for a barricade.
I know you didn't order this
But I figured we ought
To fight at the start.
Alright, al.
Sure to win anything
Out there?
Something.
Jake.
Tell me
About st. Creek.
What do you mean?
I've heard about it
Just like everybody else has
But not from somebody
That was there.
Your white men were
At the cheyenne that day.
George, charlie ben,
Ed gary.
- Jake castor.
- What are you driving at?
I want to hear
It from you.
Sure, why not?
It's a great victory.
Just like they said.
Pride attack
On a peaceful village
Of naked and starving indians.
We thought they were
Under a flag of truce.
Three hundred
Of them butchered.
Three hundred full
Of women and kids.
Jake, your wife,
What happened to her?
Right in front
Of my eye.
And I couldn't do
A thing about it.
I didn't even
Have a g*n.
My wife and my son
Still in her arms
And I couldn't do
Nothing about it.
Nothing at all.
But I covered his face
And I never forgot it.
'It's really more
Over the waist.'
- Mccafferty?
- Even worse.
Even worse.
Hadn't I had the right?
Sorry to say
"No" to that, jake.
Not many men would.
Probably...the jury
Wouldn't.
But the bible says "no."
Jake, there was blood
Enough spilled that day.
There's already a trail
Of red all over the west.
The indian ain't finished yet.
Look, we're all ashamed
About what happened
At st. Creek,
The whole nation.
Shevington was
Court martialed
And forced out
Of the army for it.
Congress has voted
Indemnities.
Indemnities.
Indemnities.
Well, all I know
Is that
The answer to k*lling
Is...not more k*lling.
Well..
I'm no man.
I ain't get much time left
That I got.
I got to be out in the open.
Gotta be free.
[Humming]
Alright, nobody takes
Any action without my orders.
Not a shot fired until I say so.
Everybody understand that?
You think you can
Stop them with talk, wyatt?
- I can try.
- 'They're coming.'
Wyatt, they're coming.
Alright, let's go.
Wyatt, give me my g*n,
I'll help.
I don't want your help, jake.
Wyatt! We've been
Friends a long time.
[Humming]
(Male # )
'Wyatt! Get those men out there.
Go on! Get back!'
Get out of the way, marshal!
Your men are
Violatin' the law
Coming into this town armed.
Now any of you
Wanna drop your g*ns
And swear to keep the peace
Can come in.
I reckon we'll
Come our way...marshal.
You realize what you're doing?
You wear the uniform of
The us army, these us citizens.
They should have
Thought of it before.
- We didn't start the trouble.
- 'Neither did they.'
Well, have you found out
Who did, marshal?
Or maybe we can.
Alright, get out of the way.
We're coming through
And you can't stop us.
- Wait!
- Jake!
You want mccafferty's k*ller?
Right here he is.
I k*lled him.
I had a good reason.
- You want to know why?
- Jake?
Alright, wyatt.
Maybe I was wrong.
(Wyatt)
'Hold it! First man to pull
A g*n goes to jail.'
Now, he's my prisoner.
You're going back to your post
Or come in peacefully.
I just wanna know why.
I wanna know why
You k*lled my husband.
You said you had
A good reason and
I wanna know before I k*ll you.
Mrs. Mccafferty, his wife
And baby died at st. Creek.
[Humming]
Come on, jake.
Alright, move out.
