The life and legend
Of wyatt earp
What are you doing, earp?
There's no time for that.
We gotta get there.
Keep your shirt on,
Mr. Clanton.
You forgetting
Where we are?
There are apaches
Watching every
Move we make.
John laws always acting
Scared of apaches.
No sand at all,
Any of you.
I told you I'd take care
Of this and I will.
Now put that g*n away
And take 'em off before
You get us both k*lled.
Well, now you can
Take yours off.
But I ain't losing mine.

Narrator:
"The life and legend of wyatt
Earp" starring hugh o'brian.
( Wyatt narrating )
One of the legends
Of arizona indians
Told about spanish explorers
Who found gold and silver
And stored it in a cave until
They could take it to spain.
When the explorers
Were k*lled in a battle
Between rival tribes,
Their gold remained
For white men to try to find.
And one occasion
The treasure caused trouble
For marshal wyatt earp.
We won't be gone
Any longer we have to.
Well, you don't worry
About nothing here, boy.
You just take care
Of yourself.
You too,
Mr. Clum.
Chief nachez
Thanks you for coming
To san carlos, marshal earp.
No thanks is needed.
Please sit.
When you were agent
To apaches, mr. Clum,
There was no trouble for us.
Well, I thank you,
Chief nachez.
I wish I were here now.
Clum:
How bad is the situation?
I am more and more afraid
For my people.
Around the council fires,
Chiricahua braves
Speak only of past victories,
Our dead fighting chiefs,
Of becoming warriors,
Not farmers,
When they drink
White man's whiskey.
Chief nachez, they're not
Getting it in tombstone.
You've been able to get
Any of them to tell you
Where they buy
The whiskey?
They tell me nothing.
For many suns
Things are not good
At san carlos.
They blame me,
The son of cochise.
My young braves listen only
To those who would go
With geronimo.
They will go.
Across the border,
Huh?
It's my guess that
Geronimo has lost
Too many braves
Than he's raised
The last few months.
Is that true,
Chief nachez?
Where else is
He gonna recruit
New warriors but here?
Mr. Clum,
I promised cochise--
My father--
I would keep peace.
And I have kept it.
I do not want to go on
The w*r trail with geronimo.
But I must have help.
What's the agent doing?
Well, he's the cause of all
Their unhappiness, wyatt.
He hates apaches--
Throws them in jail.
He allows them
No other recourse.
He steals our rations,
Sells them to men in tucson.
He's in with
The % ring?
Everything points to it.
Then you tell me how
Catching whiskey peddlers
Is gonna cure that.
Well, he's under investigation
Right now, wyatt.
All we can hope to do
Is to keep the young braves
From going over to geronimo
Before he's replaced.
But your whiskey
Speaks for geronimo!
Not for peace!
It's impossible to cover
The whole territory,
But I can watch
The outlaw hangouts,
Patrol more trails.
We shall see.
You have been
Good friend, mr. Clum.
I thank you,
Chief nachez.
Marshal earp here
Is your good friend too.
I give you
My word I'll do
Everything possible.
Trouble for you
Means trouble for me.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, chief.
Now, nulah, if, uh--
If you'll just tell us
Where that cave is,
If there's any gold there,
Me and phin will do
All the work.
- It is forbidden
To speak of it.
- Aw, come on, nulah,
You're the one that
Told us about the legend
In the first place.
I told the legend,
This story to my friends.
- It is only a legend.
- You apaches,
You just want
All that gold and silver
For yourselves, that's all!
No! The yellow stone
Belongs to the gods.
Not to apaches.
Not to you either.
- Nulah--
- Ike!
The whiskey.
Oh.
Oh yeah.
The whiskey.
Nulah, it's all right.
Forget it.
Look, we brought you
A present.
We brought you
A jug of whiskey.
This will make us
All feel better.
Makes me thirsty
Just thinking about it.
Here, try it out.
See if it's good.
( Chuckles )
It is good.
Nulah thanks you.
And, nulah, you know,
Them chiricahuas
Are gonna like what we got
In them barrels, huh?
Uh, yeah.
Me and ike, uh--
Well, it isn't
Everyone that would
Take the chance
To sell you whiskey
More than once.
- That is so.
- ( Chuckles )
Nulah,
It's a long hot ride
Back to the reservation,
Nulah.
Come on,
Have another swallow.
We're not gonna be
Leaving for a spell.
Now why don't
You just come over
Here and join us?
- Sit down, have a drink.
- ( Exhales )
Come on.
( Laughter )
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
We'd better
Take him with us.
What for?
He told us where
The cave was, didn't he?
We don't need him.
Let him sleep there.
Papa, you said it yourself:
Frank and the boys
Oughta be back
From the border by now.
Yeah, papa,
They might be in trouble.
Get to the point, boys.
You've been talking
Around it long enough.
Let ike and me
Ride down to the border
And see what the trouble is.
Won't, uh, take us more
Than three or four days.
Well, if'n you're
That fidgety, go on.
A week in the saddle
Will slow you down.
Thanks, papa.
Not so fast, boys.
Ain't you
Forgot something?
Oh, i--
I forgot about
The whiskey, papa.
- I'm-- I'm sorry.
- That's better.
Now, ike,
You're the oldest.
You take care
Of your brother.
No fighting,
You hear me?
Yeah, papa.

( Inaudible )
Wyatt:
Don't those look like
Indian ponies?
Yeah,
They sure do look
Like indian ponies.
Loaded down
With something too.
Let's take a look.
( g*nsh*t )
Hold it!
What happened, wyatt?
You know him?
Yes yes.
Nulah's my friend.
What's he done?
We caught him on the trail
With a string of ponies
Loaded with
Whiskey barrels.
He's drunk hisself.
This here jug is
Plumb empty.
They trusted you,
A boy?
Mr. Clum, I am warrior.
I buy whiskey
For chiricahua warriors.
You sound like
A plain errand boy to me.
Nulah, anybody else
Buying whiskey
For your tribe?
Cowboys sell
Only to me.
They trust nulah.
They're my friends.
They must be
Very good friends.
They bring me present.
We drink.
We talk together.
After I pay
For barrels.
Whiskey traders aren't
Usually that generous,
Even with customers
They trust.
These, um--
These friends of yours,
These cowboys,
They want anything
In return for the, uh--
The present?
They wish me
To speak to them
Of the yellow stone.
They knew the legend.
They want to find
The cave.
What cave?
Oh, there's an old
Indian legend, wyatt,
About some spanish explorers
That came to arizona.
They lived with
The papago tribe.
They found gold and silver
And they mined it
And hid it in a cave
To take back to spain.
Later on,
There was an indian w*r.
The papago tribe
Was att*cked and k*lled.
So were the spaniards.
Whatever become
Of the gold and silver?
Nobody's ever seen it,
Mr. Gibbs.
It must still be there.
They say the indians
Know where it is.
Yeah. Ain't much
Them indians don't know
About these here hills.
No.
Did you tell 'em?
Nulah would never
Do that, wyatt.
He's been taught and trained
Never to tell a white man
Where to find gold,
Let alone lead them to it.
But they do not
Believe me.
They want me to drink
Whiskey so I tell.
But I fool them.
I say the cave is on
San carlos reservation.
You told them that?
They cannot go there.
The land belongs to us
By white man's word.
They cannot take
The yellow stone
From san carlos.
Nothing will stop them
If they find gold there.
And if they don't...
You're gonna be
Mighty sorry, sonny.
What were their names?
Mr. Clum, it is not
As the marshal says.
Nulah, you hear me:
Tell him who they were!
The two brothers,
Sons of newman clanton.
Ike and phin clanton?
I do not tell them
The right place.
John, you go
To san carlos for me.
Take him with you.
All right, wyatt.
What'll I tell nachez?
You tell him everything.
Warn him if the clantons
Come hunting for gold,
To keep his people out
Of sight and send for me.
He must do nothing
To stop them.
If even one white man
Is sh*t, you know
What it'll mean.
I'll warn him, wyatt.
Come on, nulah.
Mr. Gibbs,
Get the saddlebags.
Seems awful quiet
Down there.
Think the clantons
Done already left?
He'll wait until
His gunfighters come
Up from the border.
It don't seem like
He's getting ready.
No, it doesn't.
I wonder if ike and phin
Could have done this
On their own.
No, they got
More sense than that.
Not if they're trying
To show their papa
They're grown-up.
Aw, them two!
They's always
A-causing trouble.
Well, I'll post
A deputy out here.
We'll go on back
And wait until we hear
From chief nachez.
We just gonna sit
On this keg of dynamite?!
The fuse is already
Done lit!
Mr. Gibbs, you been
Blown up before?
Yeah, but I ain't
Used to it yet.
Neither is roscoe.
They are the ones.
They are alone.
Go watch them.
Do not let them see you!
The whole day gone
And nothing!
Ike, I told you, we should
Have brought nulah with us.
It wasn't my idea
To get him drunk.
Don't tell me that.
You're the one that
Kept egging him on.
"A little drink, nulah.
Just one more little drink.
Oh, one more little drink."
You got him so drunk
He didn't know
What he was saying.
We should have
Made him show us.
Phin, why don't you
Grow up?!
Ain't no apache
Gonna show us where
This cave is.
They wouldn't do it
If I put a p*stol
To their heads.
Well, maybe not.
There's about an hour
Of light left.
I'm gonna go up here
And have a look.
Hey, ike!
A cave!
Where?
Maybe that's the one!
No, there's nothing
In here, ike.
( Both sigh deeply )
You know--
You know what, phin?
Papa's gonna say
That we did real good
After we tell him
About all this gold
We're gonna find.
Papa's gonna say
I did real good.
This was my idea.
And I'm gonna find
That gold before you.
Well, you just do that!
It'll make you a real
Big man.
You always was
Jealous of me, ike.
Being older
Don't prove nothin'.
( Laughs )
Don't make me
Laugh, phin.
If you're gonna
Find that cave
All by yourself,
You better start,
Little brother.
Go on.
( Laughs )
The little one
Goes too close.
( Mimics bird call )
Ike!
Ike, bring your shovel!
Over here!
I found it!
Let me go!
Ike! Ike!
( Phin shouting )
I'm gonna k*ll you for this.
Ike, help me!
Let go of me!
Let go!
Ike, help me!
Help me, ike!
I'm gonna k*ll you
For this!
Whoa, boy.
You!
So that's the thanks I get.
Well, don't you worry.
My papa will
Take care of you.
Where's the brother?
He must not escape.
He will bring others.
Get him!
Take him.
( Indians hooting,
Drum pounding )
All right, you didn't go
To the border like you said.
You went to san carlos.
What I can't figure
Is how they took him
And left you.
They should have
Got both of you.
Papa--
Papa, I told you.
I came around them rocks
As soon as I heard him yell.
And there they was.
They already had him caught.
All right,
And what'd you do?
Well, do? There was
Nothing I could do.
- Papa, I couldn't sh**t.
- Why not?
- Didn't you
Have on that g*n belt?
- Yes, I had on my g*n belt.
But I couldn't sh**t.
They was fighting
And moving around.
If I would have sh*t,
I'd have sh*t phin.
- Papa, there was
Nothing I could do.
- Are you standing there, ike,
And telling me you didn't
Even try to save
- Your brother?
- Papa, I told you.
They was already
Dragging him off.
There was nothing
I could do by myself.
Papa, I rode hard.
I rode hard all night
To come home and tell you.
Now if we just
Get the boys together,
- We can go back--
- What good'll that do...
If he's already dead
When I get there?!
It's your job to take
Care of your brother.
It's always been
Your job.
Anything happens
To that boy,
And you'll get
The exact same thing
From me,
And that's a promise.
Oh, papa, papa.
They won't k*ll him.
- Why won't they?
- They got no call to.
You was trespassing
Their land, wasn't you?
Well, uh...
I guess we--
Well?!
No clanton
Caught by hisself
On apache land
Has got one chance
In a thousand of living
To tell about it.
They don't even know
He's a clanton.
Maybe not. But they got
Some mighty fancy ways
Of finding out.
Now you go get charlie
And send him after the boys.
All of them!
Well, papa, if I get--
Get out of my sight.
Yes sir.
( Door opens )
( Door closes )
( Sighs )
Chief nachez took
One of them a prisoner?
- The little one.
- What happened to ike?
He got away.
He's now home telling
His papa about it.
Why didn't you leave
Him alone?
We could not, marshal earp.
He found a burial cave.
The gods would have
Been angry.
All right.
Nachez wait for you
And mr. Clum.
You go to
Mr. Clum's house.
He'll have to ride
With you to san carlos
While I stop old man
Clanton from going.
If I can.
I told you to get
Off my ranch, earp.
There ain't no use
Hanging around.
Ain't nothing you can say
To change my mind.
I ain't fool enough
To believe that you
Can save phin.
But you can, huh?
I got boys coming up
From the border,
Every one of them
Good, mean sh*ts.
We'll save him.
Did you know that
Ike and phin were
Selling whiskey
To the chiricahuas?
That's got nothing
To do with it.
- Who says they was?
- I do.
We caught the apache
That was dealing
With them, nulah.
He's also the one
That lied to them
About gold
In the san carlos.
Well, now if he lied,
Why did the apaches
Take phin?
Make sense, earp.
Because phin was
Opening up burial caves,
Not digging for gold.
There is no gold up there.
How do you know
What phin was doing?
Because chief nachez
Sent me a messenger.
He'd also said he'd wait
For me to get there
Before he did anything
About your boy.
Why?
He owe you a favor?
Nachez wanted
To stop the whiskey.
There's too much drinking,
Too much talk about
The warpath,
- Joining up with geronimo.
- Mm.
He know phin
Peddled that whiskey?
I don't think so.
You gonna tell him?
He'd k*ll phin
If I did.
Mm-mm.
I have to study this.
If'n I was to call off
My boys,
Give you a chance
To get phin out of there...
It means I'd have
To go along,
Make sure there ain't
No slip-ups.
Mr. Clanton...
Your outfit is
A bunch of hoodlums,
Thieves and murderers.
I don't like you.
The last thing I wanna do
Is save your dirty hides.
But if that's what
I have to do to prevent
An apache w*r--
I heard enough, sonny.
Now you got your choice:
Me or my gunfighters.
Take your pick.
Don't forget your hat.
We'll be late.
Marshal earp comes
With one man.
- You gonna let the boy go?
- No, he is bad.
He brings trouble
To me and my people.
Now wait a minute.
I didn't do anything
More than nulah.
He bought the whiskey,
Didn't he?
The boy's right,
Chief.
After all,
Nulah did tell him
That wild story about
Gold being here on
The san carlos.
We wait
For marshal earp.
Then I decide.
Boy, you better
Watch yourself.
You got any idea
What's gonna happen to you
If we can't get you
Out of here?
Now you aren't blaming me
For everything.
It ain't my fault
That the indians don't like
Living on a reservation.
And I suppose it ain't your
Fault that you're a greedy
Little fool either, is it?
- Phin: papa!
- Clum: it took you long enough
To get here, wyatt.
We waited for you
Long time.
Now you bring him.
Why?
I got as much right here
As anybody else.
Chief nachez, I brought
The boy's father
Because he wanted
To promise you himself
There'd be
No more whiskey sold
To the chiricahuas.
Promised
To sell no more whiskey?
Why you sidewinding john law!
You low-down judas!
Speak!
Well, that ain't exactly
Why I come here.
- I--
- You got a choice?
Blast you, earp.
I'm bossing a big outfit,
But I ain't everybody
In arizona!
Papa!
You shut up!
All I can do is give you
My word on it.
None of my boys
Will sell whiskey
To the apaches again.
And that goes
For my whole outfit.
Any of 'em does,
I'll sh**t them myself
Personal.
It is enough.
Bring the boy.
You may take him
With you.
Chiricahuas thank you,
Mr. Clum.
To look at you and see
A boy instead of a man
Must bring great sorrow
To your father.
Mr. Clanton,
The gods already
Have punished you.
Chief nachez bows
To their wisdom.
( Sighs )
Come on, phin.
I'll take care of you
When I get you home.
