Give me two.
One, two
To you.
Three.
One, two, three
To you.
And the dealer
Takes two.
Bet five.
Pardon me, mr. Dance?
Yeah?
Waggoner: may I speak
To you please?
Dance: well, go ahead,
Grandpa. Talk.
I--
I think perhaps you'd rather
This would be private.
Why?
Who are you?
My name is waggoner.
Perhaps you remember me?
To you, curt.
Yeah, the face looks
Kind of familiar.
It should be.
Though it was
Over years ago.
San angelo, remember?

Legend of wyatt earp.
What do you want?
I got no business
With you.
You did once.
That was done
With long ago.
You can't bring
It up again.
Business like that
Is never finished.
I want you to
Go back with me.
Tell it.
There's nothing to tell.
You've got to
Do it sometime.
Sooner or later.
No.
You've got nothing
On me, you hear?
The law says so.
Don't ever come
Near me again
Or I'll--
What'll you do, dance?
Now this is none
Of your business,
Earp.
I haven't laid
A finger on him,
And I won't
If he leaves me alone.
But I got a right
To be left alone,
Remember that.
You too.
It's got to be
Settled, dance.
One way or another.
Get him
Out of here.
Sir?
Mr. Waggoner, is it?
Do you have a charge
Against this man?
None that you'd be
Interested in, marshal.
He's not wanted
For anything?
Not by the law.
Then what's it
All about?
It's between
Dance and myself.
Then perhaps you'd
Better leave him alone.
I wouldn't want to
Have to arrest you
For disturbing the peace.
I understand, marshal.
He also has
Rights of privacy.
And he can
Protect himself.
I advise you, sir,
To settle your differences
By legal means.
If that had
Been possible,
I wouldn't
Be here now.
Anything you want
To tell me, dance?
No, there's
Nothing to tell.
He's just imagining.
But you keep him
Away from me,
Or there will
Be trouble.
- ( Men chattering )
- ( Piano playing )
You in, dance?
Well, what are you
So speckled at?
Ah, the old man.
Still staring.
Sure is.
And if looks
Could k*ll.
How can he
Just sit there
Hour after hour
And just stare?
Don't he ever
Get enough?
No.
But I've had enough.
I've had enough.
I'm going
To fix you
So you won't
Stare at me.
( Coughs )
Evening, wyatt.
Oh, howdy, john.
Where you headed?
Home to bed.
Yeah, that's where
I wish I were.
Your paper
All made up?
Yep. All the news
And stories I can
Scratch up.
That is unless you're
Holding out on me.
( Chuckles )
Not a chance.
Come on, have some
Coffee with me.
Oh, now, wyatt.
Coffee's no kind
Of a nightcap
To offer
A tired editor.
- You got any--
- Hey, wyatt!
What's the trouble?
That old man's been
b*at up pretty bad,
Wyatt.
We got him down
To miss nellie's.
Looks like I get
A story instead
Of coffee after all.
Where's curt dance?
He's in a game over
At the alhambra.
Well, you go get him.
Bring him to miss nellie's.
Mr. Waggoner?
Wyatt.
That gentleman
Is judge waggoner
From san angelo.
That's right, young man.
You know me.
Yes, sir.
You don't remember me,
Do you, judge?
John p. Clum?
No, i--
I'm afraid I don't.
That's all right, sir.
I was a young man then.
Seems like
A long time ago.
I'll wait
Downstairs, wyatt.
Miss nellie,
May I speak to you?
( Door closes )
You want to tell me
About it now?
Nothing to tell.
I just had
A little misadventure.
With whom?
It was very dark.
I couldn't be sure.
Judge waggoner,
You expect me
To believe that?
You can't prove
Differently.
I know.
I've heard that plea
In court many times.
Won't you tell me?
Tell you what?
Why a judge,
One of the most respected
Judges in the west for years,
Should get mixed up
With a notorious gunman,
k*ller, thief.
Why that man isn't
Dead or behind bars now,
It's hard to understand.
I know.
Well, I want to know
All you know about him.
You mean well, marshal,
But you'll only interfere.
I'm not a judge
Any longer.
I'm retired.
I have a job to do,
And I've got to do it
In my own way.
Everything peaceful?
It's early yet.
Don't count
Your chickens.
You know where
There's liable to be
Some trouble too,
Don't you?
Where?
I blame the old judge.
He's an old fool
If you ask me.
I ain't so sure
Dance ain't right.
Why?
Well, the judge has
Gone and got himself
A g*n.
And he's
Wearing it too,
Just daring dance.
What'd you find out
From that wire
You sent to texas?
Mmm.
He acquitted dance
Of m*rder years ago.
Well, don't seem
Like there'd be
Much connection there
That long time ago.
Acquittal.
That's what's
Interesting.
Now he wants
To k*ll him.
Why?
Don't ask me.
You know this judge
Better than I do.
Well...
Only thing
I know about him
Is he's got one of the best
Reputations in the west.
Wyatt?
- What is it?
- Trouble.
Dance just left
The alhambra saloon.
He's heading for
A showdown with
Judge waggoner.
Where?
The judge is waiting
Near boot hill.
Come on, we can catch dance
Before he gets there.
Hold it, dance.
This is
Where you stop.
Now listen, earp.
I didn't
Ask for this.
He's made it
So I can't refuse.
Now he challenged
Me openly.
So I can't be blamed
For k*lling him
In a fair fight.
A fair fight?
An old man who can
Hardly hold a g*n?
That's not my fault.
He shouldn't have
Challenged me.
Well, you're not
Gonna fight him.
Fair or any
Other way.
You're gonna
Stay right here.
Shotgun,
You stick with him.
What are you
Gonna do, wyatt?
I'm gonna find out
Exactly what the old man
Was planning to do.
Oh.
Maybe you'd better
Lend me your hat,
Dance
For just
A few minutes.
What for?
Because for
A few minutes,
I'm gonna be you.
Judge.
Well?
Waggoner:
( Coughing )
What happened?
There were no sh*ts.
He fainted
Or worse.
I can't tell.
We'll get him over
To dr. Goodfellow.
Look.
Empty.
He wanted dance
To k*ll him.
How is he?
He's weak,
But he's all right.
It's just the tension
And the excitement.
He just fainted.
He's an old man, wyatt.
He's awfully tired.
Come on in.
Judge waggoner?
Marshal?
I told you
You'd only interfere.
You still won't tell me
What this is all about?
Then I'll tell you.
Years ago
You acquitted dance
Of a m*rder charge.
And now you pass
Sentence on him
And say it should have
Been done a long time ago.
That must mean that you
Found out you were wrong,
Or...
Or what?
Or you acquitted him
Knowing you were wrong.
Yes. You're right.
It's even worse than that.
I took money to acquit him.
You?
Judge waggoner.
Yes.
Amos waggoner.
The man with
The finest reputation
For honesty
And integrity in the west.
A reputation any man
Could be proud of.
You can imagine
How I felt sometimes
Hearing those things said.
Reading them
Printed about me.
I felt like a fraud.
A miserable imposter.
And that was
The only time
In a lifetime as a judge
That you did
Anything like that?
The only time.
But I needed
The money so badly.
My wife and my child
Were sick.
Dance knew that.
But it didn't
Do them any good.
I lost them both anyway.
Now I'm old and alone.
And I must right this one
Terrible wrong I've done.
But this isn't
Any way to do it.
If you feel that you
Must redeem yourself,
Go on back to
San angelo and confess.
Waggoner:
I already did that.
Perhaps they didn't
Even believe me.
They said that...
There's nothing they could
Do about it legally.
Even if it were true,
They didn't want to
Besmirch my reputation
At this late hour.
Well, maybe they were right.
One mistake in
A lifetime of service.
It's not that simple.
I set that man free
To k*ll again.
And he has... Many times.
Those lives are
On my conscience.
And I won't rest easy
Until I've done
What I can.
Until you've k*lled dance?
Or seen him on his way
To the gallows.
Well, you wouldn't have
Accomplished that tonight,
Judge waggoner.
He can prove that you
Openly challenged him.
And how was he to know
That you'd face him
With an empty g*n.
Yes, it's--
Very difficult.
A very difficult problem.
I've tracked him this far,
But now--
Now I don't know
What to do.
Well, a man like dance
Is bound to wind up
On the gallows
Eventually.
Why don't you
Leave him to the law?
You're the law here.
What can you do
About him?
Well, I admit it's
A pretty sad situation, wyatt,
But what can you
Do about it?
Well, I think
Maybe I can put
Dance behind bars.
That'd help some.
How?
He's managed to keep himself
Out of trouble lately.
John? You told me
He's been losing
Pretty steadily
At poker.
Yeah.
Yeah, that he has.
And getting grumpier
All the time.
And seedier.
Well, the money's gotta
Come from someplace.
He ought to be
Just about right
For any kind of
Illegal deal.
Wyatt, you mean a trap?
Well, it isn't
Exactly ethical,
But in this case
It may be justified.
Just say we put temptation
In mr. Dance's way,
And if he
Falls for the bait,
Well, that's
Too bad for him.
Yeah.
At least it'd keep him
Out of the judge's reach
For awhile.
Awhile is all
We'll need.
That's right.
I don't think that old man's
Gonna last too long.
All right.
This is
What we'll do.
John, you like a good
Game of poker, don't you?
( Chuckles )
Yes, sir.
That man's
A real fool.
Now you know he goes home
Every saturday night
Same time, and always with
What's in the week's till.
That must be close
To five or $ .
I'll bet .
He goes home
All by himself.
And down the same
Dark street.
Yeah, and that brew street's
A real dark one too.
Yes, it is that.
The man's a fool
All right.
Anybody could rob him
Any time there's a mind to.
And...
I'll just have to
Bump you more.
( Sighs )
Yeah, with no
Trouble either.
Especially when he
Stops off at the birdcage
For a snort before
He starts home.
Well, he likes to
Celebrate the end
Of each week.
Cards?
Two.
Two.
Then he don't
Even see so good.
You wouldn't even
Have to worry
About him
Recognizing you.
Dealer takes one,
Gentlemen.
Of course, if it was
A clanton that was to do it,
He'd make sure
He didn't.
I'll bet .
Yes, sir. That'd be
Real easy pickings.
So how come the clantons
Don't do something about it?
Why, old man clanton
Gave up that kind of thing
When he was
A rosy-cheeked boy.
And I'll just have to
Make that a little sweeter
By another $ ,
Gentlemen.
( Sighs )
No, that's too rich
For my blood.
See it.
You see, old man clanton,
He likes to go
For the big stuff
Like I do.
( Knocks on door )
Oh, shotgun.
Howdy, miss nellie.
Um...
Wyatt just
Sent me over
To check on
The old judge
And make sure
He's in bed.
Where else would he be?
He's sound asleep.
Yeah, well that's good.
Shotgun,
Is something going on?
Shotgun: well, I guess
You could say so.
You know I wish that old judge
Never come here, miss nellie.
Why, what's the matter?
Well, wyatt's
Took on his troubles.
Now he's gonna
Meet dance.
And he just might
Get himself gunned.
How do you know?
Are you sure?
Yes, ma'am. I'm sure.
I even know
When and where.
Little after :
Down on brew street near first.
Nellie: why aren't
You down there?
Well, I'm going.
You know, wyatt told me
To keep my nose out of it.
Said I might
Gum things up.
Well, you get on
Down there right now.
- Yes'm.
- Don't pay any
Attention to wyatt.
( Laughing )
Dance?
Who is it?
It's me.
Judge waggoner.
And now I'm gonna
Carry out this sentence.
No no.
You don't get me
To fall for that.
I saw the empty g*n.
It's not empty
This time.
I told you,
You can't do
A thing to me.
Can't i?
Marshal?
Is he dead?
Yes, he's dead.
I'm glad I didn't
Let you interfere
This time.
Judge, if only you'd
Waited a little.
My time...
Was running out anyway.
But I would have gotten
Dance for you.
You might have
Been hurt.
But this is the last...
The last what?
The last k*lling that...
Dance will ever commit.
But...
This one won't be
On my conscience.
