Hey curly,
I'm not wyatt earp.
I'm just his little
Brother morgan.
You're not afraid of me.
Get your deputies out of the way
And we'll sh**t it out,
Just you and me.
All right.
Just the two of us.
Walk out, curly.
I'm coming out.

"The life and legend
Of wyatt earp,"
Starring hugh o'brian.
[Narrator]
Historians credit wyatt earp
With more than gunfights.
Wyatt himself
Never kept count.
Marshal earp did not
Like g*n fighting
And he avoided the showdown
With . S whenever he could.
Thus when his younger brother
Morgan arrived in dodge city,
Wyatt was confronted
With an emotional problem.
Bat masterson's brother, ed,
Had been k*lled in a gunfight.
Was young morgan earp
To go the same way?
Or how could wyatt save his
Brother from the hoodlums
Of dodge city?
Especially when morgan was a
Brave but hot-headed buckaroo,
With romantic notions of
Becoming a deputy marshal.
No.
That ain't wyatt earp.
Are you sure, curly?
Wyatt don't dress that way.
Well from here that
Fellow sure looks like earp.
Wyatt didn't fall
For our trick.
We're going to have to
Think of something smarter
If we aim
To bushwhack him.
That's what we're going to do
If we have to stay here
For a month.
[g*nf*re]
Hey, you ain't wyatt earp.
Oh, excuse me.
We all make mistakes.
[Laughs]
No hard feelings
I hope.
I'll keep this until
You're sober.
Stay out of my way.
Hey!
You fire that shot,
Mr. Miller?
We all make mistakes.
Howdy, wyatt.
Morgan.
Oh for gosh sakes,
It's good to see you.
Nice friendly little
Town you got here.
Hey, mr. Miller, that was my kid
Brother you were sh**ting at.
Did you know that?
[Stammering]
I'm sorry.
Now you go turn
Yourself into jail.
[Muttering]
A very definite mistake,
Excuse me.
Don't go too hard
On the man, wyatt.
A drunk can k*ll you just as
Dead as a sober man, you know.
Golly, morg, it's sure
Good to see you.
Hey, how the folks?
In good health, but a
Little provoked at me.
Oh? How's that?
Grandpa wanted me to read
The law in manmouth.
Mom and dad kind of expected me
To settle in california.
Hmm.
Well, you're .
You never did
Lecture me, wyatt.
My favorite brother.
[Laughs]
Come on, let's go up to my
Room where we can talk.
Got the whole family
To catch up on.
Wait until I get my gear.
All right.
I wanted virgil to
Come to dodge with me.
But you know virg.
Wanted to make his pile
And get rich.
[Laughs]
So he went up to
The black hills.
Claimed a gold strike
At deadwood.
Oh?
Well,
That's the family news.
Except we keep hearing
Talk about the famous
Wyatt.
[Laughs]
Well I'm not famous
And I'm sure not rich.
Ah, you'll get there.
Wyatt, I kind of think
I'd like to work for you.
Work for me?
I'm hitting you for
A job as a deputy.
Uh-uh.
No, sir. Not for me.
Why?
Because mr. Masterson let his
Brother ed talk him into a job
Like that.
A couple of hoodlums
k*lled ed.
Yeah, but, wyatt--
Look there's no sense arguing.
I'm not going to take
The responsibility
Of having you hurt.
Nobody is going to hurt me.
Morgan, there are an awful
Lot of angles to this
That I haven't got time
To explain to you right now.
If anything happened to you,
Grandpa would really
Lay me out for it.
Look, we'll talk about
It at dinner, okay?
Whiskey.
Dr. Holliday.
Hello, morgan.
I haven't seen you
Since texas.
That's right.
Deacon earp would not
Approve of our association.
Although, by my bad example,
And I've turned hundreds
Away from strong drinking.
Wyatt doesn't think
Much of me either.
What have you done?
I asked him for
A job as a deputy.
He thinks I might get hurt.
[Door closes]
I'm looking for
Big-headed wyatt earp.
Where do I find him?
Better try the jail, mister.
Take it easy.
No.
I'm wyatt's brother.
Don't reach.
Morgan, you stay
Out of this.
On your feet.
You're one of curly's men.
You tell curly brocius
He can find wyatt if he has
The nerve to come into dodge.
Now move.
You think you're immortal?
Why?
That was johnny ringgold.
You don't hit him
With your fist
And then turn your back
To get your g*n from the rack.
Besides, he wasn't out cold.
Look, I'm not scared of him.
I'll go sh**t it out
With him now.
Now wait a minute.
I want to talk to you,
Morgan, in there.
[Snaps fingers]
[Chatter]
Well, if your heart's
Set on working for wyatt,
I can help you
Get the job.
But I must warn you,
It isn't much of a job.
What's wrong with it?
As the insurance folks say,
The life expectancy
Is limited.
You know, your brother's been
Marshal here a lot longer
Than any other man.
Naturally he's made
A lot of enemies.
Johnny ringgold and
Curly brocius are two of them.
Doc, I just ain't
Scared of them.
Hmmm.
You young fellows got a whisper
In your ear that says,
"It won't be me,
It couldn't be me."
[Begins coughing]
I used to hear that.
Here, doc.
Rest yourself.
Waiting until the
Coughing has passed,
Spell it c-o-f-f-i-n
And you got a good pun.
I don't argue with
A young fellow like you.
I know you're dead
Bent to stay in dodge
And work as one of
Wyatt's deputies,
And...
All right, I'll talk
To wyatt for you.
Now you let me
Handle this.
Morg, for gosh sake I heard you
Tangle with johnny ringgold--
Sit down.
Mop your fevered brow.
Now look, doctor--
Sure, I know,
It's a family matter.
Look, I didn't get hurt.
I just popped
Ringgold on the jaw,
And doc here covered me
While I went to get my g*n.
What if the doctor
Hadn't been there?
Shut up. Both of you.
Morgan wants to stay in dodge,
So I hired him on
As one of my faro dealers.
Any objections?
Yes, there is.
No brother of mine
Deals faro in this town,
And you know that.
All right, you hire him.
Oh, the tight cinch, huh?
Well it's not going to work.
If morgan insists
On staying here,
I'll find him a job.
What kind of a job?
A good job, better
Than wearing a star.
Now look, wyatt.
I'm sorry, doc.
You tried.
Now it's time to eat.
I'll tell you about it then.
Yes, sir.
Well, what'd you find out?
Nothing good.
He's got his kid
Brother with him,
And doc holliday's riding
Close herd on both of them.
We can't get at
Earp in dodge.
Best idea is to
Draw him out here.
Ah, we'll hit the
Abilene stage tomorrow,
Leave a good trail
In these rocks.
Wyatt.
I'm not going to be any
Good at selling hardware.
Mayor kelley wants you to take
Over the g*n department.
Well...
Look, selling g*ns is a lot
Better than sh**ting them.
Why don't you give it
An honest try, morgan.
As you say, big brother.
[Laughs]
One earp in this
Town is plenty.
I figure we can give
The great marshal a lesson
By knocking off
His baby brother.
He's got him stashed
In a job at kelley's hardware.
We can do it real
Quick, then blow.
Are you busy or
Just pretending?
I'm busy.
Well you won't mind it
If I take up your time
With useless argument.
Morg like his job fine.
He should be
Wearing a star.
He's a mark for every drunken
Cowhand who doesn't like you
And wants to take
It out on him.
You know when a man
Wears one of those stars,
A lot of gunslingers think
Twice before they get hostile.
They think twice anyway.
Nope.
Jim perkins and four of
His boys from the big "t"
Are laying for
Morgan right now.
Where?
Kelley's hardware.
As soon as he gets
Back from lunch.
Hal, put these papers
Back in the safe.
Ah, huggins decided
To take that new winchester.
Better lay it aside for him.
Right, mr. Kelley.
Who left the six g*n?
Oh, that's mine.
Thank you very much.
I know you're going to
Enjoy that lamp a lot.
Better keep that
Six g*n handy, morg.
There's some loafers
Across the street.
I don't know what
They're up to.
Yes, sir.
Pete, ty, we'll go in.
You boys keep an
Eye on the door.
Howdy.
Pete here needs a new colt.
That's what we sell.
Duck, morgan.
They're from the big "t"!
[g*nf*re]
For pete's sake, wyatt,
I might've hit you.
Morgan's quite a fellow.
He fanned my g*n and all
Three of them went down.
And he jerked his own g*n and
Hit the only one that was still
Able to sh**t.
These men ought to be
Towed over to doc mccarty.
You hit?
Not a scratch.
Well it's a wonder
You're not dead.
Fanning a g*n like that.
Wyatt, the boy
Got four men.
That's not the point.
It's how he got them.
Let's get out of here.
Bring along those
Two g*ns you used.
You arresting me?
There's going
To be a hearing.
Why, marshal earp,
You must've lost
Your temper.
I didn't do it.
Morgan?
Must've been fast
sh**ting, son.
Don't praise him.
He fanned five sh*ts,
Ruined mayor kelley's g*n.
Hey, I'm your prisoner.
He knows you're not
Going to run away.
Come with me, son.
Well, come on fellows,
Let's pick them up,
Take them over
To the doc.
What's wrong with wyatt?
He never used
To be so touchy.
Old age.
Don't make sense.
He's only .
Morgan, did it ever occur to you
How risky it was to fan a g*n
Against three men?
No, I didn't even
Think about it.
[Laughs]
Suppose you stop
One right here?
Why, doc? It doesn't matter.
Young,
Middle-aged or old,
The good lord'll
Take care of us.
[Coughs]
You believe that.
Yes, there was a time
When I knew that.
When I headed into my
First gunfight, I said,
"Forgive me, sir, for
Having to do this."
But now I'm out of touch.
No you're not.
Son, I'm bound for perdition.
I'm a runaway engine.
Deacon earp is
Trying to beg me off.
The brakes are gone.
Ah...
One honest prayer, doc.
You'll make it all right.
[Coughs]
I like you for thinking
Some of him, but...
Let's get back to
This deputy job.
Yeah.
Sheriff masterson will give you
One when he returns to town.
He doesn't like me,
But he'll give full
Credit to my recommend.
Thanks, but I'd rather--
[Door opens]
Come on, morg.
I'm sorry I got riled up.
Forget it.
Put on the cuffs.
Grow up, will you?
Here.
My gosh.
Don't put it on until after
The hearing.
Judge tobin'll probably
Exonerate you by then.
Thanks, wyatt.
You thank dr. Holliday.
He's the fount
Of all wisdom.
Don't you get too
Friendly with him, though.
I wish I hadn't.
Whoa.
Throw your g*ns in the boot.
Give them that money sack.
Hurry it up.
Thanks for acting
So nice, friends.
Tell wyatt earp about this
When you get to dodge.
Hiyah!
[Calling to horses]
Nice man,
That judge tobin.
I figure he'd want
To call in a lot of witnesses
And drag things out.
Mayor kelley said enough.
Deputy marshal morgan earp.
Well, what's my first job?
Santa fe station.
You keep a deputy there?
Yeah, it's a break-in spot
For cub deputies.
We foil train robbers, huh?
Yeah.
Sit down, morgan. I got a few
Things I want to tell you.
Yes, sir.
Fire away.
Well to begin with I hired you
Because the doc argued that a
Star would keep the drunken
Hoodlums from taking pot sh*ts
At you.
Yes, sir.
And don't feel so cocky!
Oh, wyatt.
Now listen to me.
You were a fool for
Luck, yesterday.
The doc saved you
From johnny ringgold,
And the good lord pulled you
Through that g*n fanning routine
Down at the hardware store.
I guess he did.
And don't you ever forget it.
And don't you push
Your luck any further.
This is a rough
Town, morgan.
Look, I'll stay alive.
Quit worrying, will you.
All right.
I guess you'll be safe enough
Down at the depot patrol.
One week of that ought to
Convince you that a deputy's job
Is pretty dull.
Even in this town.
Hal?
[Hal] yes, sir.
Hello, morgan.
Howdy.
Say, I was betting
You were going to hire him.
Welcome to our police force.
Thanks, chief.
Save the congratulations.
Morgan's going to be guarding
The santa fe station,
So as my chief deputy,
Keep an eye on him, will you?
Yes, sir.
Thanks.
Now I'm going to go down and
Meet sheriff masterson at the
Corners.
He sent word that brocius and
Ringgold are out camping
In the ford county again.
Unless we pick up a hot trail,
I should be back in
About three hours.
And the answer is no.
You're not going with me.
Mind reader.
Make allowances, kid.
Anything happen to you,
Wyatt's got the whole family
On his neck.
Wyatt and doc holliday.
Two top gunfighters anywhere.
And all they talk about
Is getting hurt.
It can happen, morg.
Why sure.
Well, let's go.
Go? Go where?
Aren't you going to
Bodyguard me to the depot?
No, I wouldn't
Do that to you.
I'm on your side, kid.
I got a big brother.
You're all right, chief.
But let me tell you this:
No little boys ought to try and
Steal milk cans from that depot.
Because I'd die for
Dear old santa fe.
Deputy hal!
Yeah.
Curly bill held us
Up at dorsey rock.
Where's marshal earp?
He started for the corners
About a half hour ago. Why?
Well that's the opposite
Direction, ten miles west, hal.
All right, I'll send
A man after wyatt,
Try and get a couple myself
And pick up curly's trail
At the rock.
Good luck to you.
Giddyup.
Morgan, get on your horse,
Try and overtake wyatt.
Tell him curly brocius took the
Abilene stage near dorsey rock.
Where're you going?
I'm on my way to the rock
Soon as I can find a couple
Of deputies.
Let one of them go after him.
I don't know that trail.
I'll ride with you.
Morg, that g*ng probably
Let out for bushwhacker,
But we're liable
To run into them.
And you know wyatt.
You're short on deputies.
You want to leave me
Whittling on a depot platform?
Come on.
[Chatter]
Fine, I'm banking
A fairer game.
You fellows don't
Want to play cards,
I'll confiscate
The money on the board.
[Chatter]
Let's move.
Doc?
Wyatt's deputy hal took morgan
To trail the brocius g*ng.
I'm not running
The marshal's office.
Where's wyatt?
Well, he's gone up
To the corners.
Brocius and ringgold
Will bushwhack morgan,
That's what they'll do.
Hmmm. They can't
Hurt morgan,
He's still sprouting
Angel feathers.
Get yourself a drink.
I'll take over, mack.
Place your bets, gentlemen.
[Man]
Hey, wyatt.
They hit the abilene stage
At dorsey rock and hal's
Trailing them.
And he took morgan with him.
Morgan.
They headed into the brush.
We better wait here.
Wait? What for?
This could be an ambush.
Curly and ringgold
Don't scare me.
You wait for wyatt.
Ain't that morgan earp
In the lead?
Yeah, that's right.
[Cocks g*n]
He's mine.
I want him in a
Stand up fight.
This could be a trap, morgan.
Sure is.
Hey brocius.
Brocius!
[g*nf*re]
Down, morgan, down.
Come out and make a fight.
Fine. Just me and you.
Fair enough.
Show yourself.
Thanks, curly.
This is the way I like it.
[g*nf*re]
Come here, morgan!
[g*nf*re]
Let me go!
Don't be a fool.
Here comes wyatt.
[g*nf*re continues]
[Shouting]
I would have got him
If my foot hadn't slipped.
Real fancy, slapping off
sh*ts at yards.
Why sure, and look
Who got hurt.
Look, we'll hold a big
Debate back in dodge.
Now pick him up and
Let's get out of here.
Howdy, mr. Earp.
Howdy, doc.
They tell me your little brother
Downed curly in a
Fair gunfight.
No, curly stumbled.
[Morgan]
Wyatt.
Virgil hit gold in dakota.
Uh, what virgil says there
About me joining him,
Pay no attention to that.
I wouldn't run
Out on you.
Morgan, you want to go?
Ah, I don't know.
You go on and dig gold.
Wyatt, it doesn't seem
Right to walk out on you.
You go and wire virgil
That you're on your way.
Go on.
Thanks, wyatt.
Curly stumbled, you say?
Yeah.
Well, that's one way
It could have happened.
Or maybe brocius found himself
sh**ting at a bright light.
Or maybe a voice whispered
To morgan saying,
"Young man, you'll
Live forever."
You drunk?
We'd sure like to hear
That whisper just once more,
Wouldn't we, wyatt?
But we're too darn deaf.
Yeah, doc.
I guess we are.
