Of wyatt earp

There.
( g*nsh*t )
Wasn't that a sh*t?
Yes.
For awhile it was
So quiet around here,
I thought something
Was wrong.
You think we oughta see
What's going on?
Nah, that's
Wyatt earp's job.
Besides, I just about
Got this game won.
Your play.
( Laughs )
Just what I wanted.
What can I do for you?
What is it, mister?
I'm billy buckett,
Incorporated.
I've just been robbed
Of $ , in gold.
And--
And I've been m*rder*d.

Announcer:
"The life and legend
Of wyatt earp"...
Narrator:
Wyatt earp, marshal
Of tombstone, arizona,
During the turbulent s,
Daily faced the problem
Of v*olence growing out
Of human greed for gold
And silver.
He often declared that for
Sheer fantastic ruthlessness,
No crime ever matched
The one involving
The celebrated billy buckett,
Incorporated.
Well, how's billy buckett,
Incorporated today?
Better than last night,
But he's still feverish.
Keeps yammering
About $ , in gold.
( Breathlessly )
Tell 'em I d*ed gamin'.
Give me a fine funeral.
Looks like
He's gonna be
On my hands
For a long time.
Can't you move him over
To your hospital, doc?
Not enough room.
He's better off here.
You can be a nice fella
For a while.
What makes him so sick?
You said the wound
Wasn't nothing, just
A crease in his scalp.
Well, lead poisoning isn't
The only thing that makes
A man sick.
I hear the rustle
Of black wings.
And I want a fine funeral.
What'd you find out
About him, wyatt?
Just a desert rat.
Came through here
About six months ago.
Claimed he knew
About a lost gold mine
Someplace or other.
$ , ...
I was robbed.
I... Was robbed.
I think we better let
The old boy alone.
You know, I got a hunch
That mr. Billy buckett
Isn't as delirious
As he makes out.
And what makes you
Think that?
Well, if he had struck gold
Anywhere around here,
Everybody in arizona would
Know about you.
Can't keep things like that
A secret.
Do you have to be
A lawman every minute
Of the day, wyatt?
Well,
Now that's my job.
Besides, I think
He's plain lying.
I say the man's sick.
And I'm the doctor.
Well, even if
You ain't a doctor,
I think you're right.
Something mighty peculiar
About that sh**ting.
Tallest story
I ever heard.
- Mr. Rickabaugh?
- I'm rickabaugh.
I read
In the paper that you're
Sheltering billy buckett.
Would you mind
If I talked to him?
What do you want
To talk to him about?
This is marshal earp
And deputy gibbs.
How do you do?
I'm paul scott
Of the bank of tucson.
Billy used to work
For me.
Sort of swept out
The place.
I thought perhaps
I could help him.
Go ahead.
This way.
Thank you.
Well, ol' billy buckett's
Got important friends.
( Door closes )
A banker, no less.
Billy?
It's mr. Scott.
$ , .
, .
They robbed me.
Tell me, billy.
- Who?
- ( Exhales )
Who was it?
Bury me deep
And give me a fine funeral.
Who was it?!
Ask... Jack morrow.
Jack morrow?
Did he do it?
, Dinero.
Did he do it?!
It sure do b*at all
What some people...
Would do for gold.
You sure you don't want
Anything else, wyatt?
No. Thanks, chung.
Where can I find
The owner of this place?
That's me.
I wanna see billy buckett,
The old boy that got sh*t
Last night.
What do you wanna
See him about?
Who are you?
I'm marshal here,
And I asked you
A question.
Oh, sorry, marshal.
The name's morrow--
Jack morrow from yuma.
Billy's a friend of mine.
He ain't gonna die,
Is he?
I doubt it.
Go on in.
That door.
Morrow?
I want a word with you.
Well, you know
Where to find me.
Billy?
Billy, wake up.
It's me,
Jack morrow.
$ , .
Who took it?
Where's scott?
What about him?
Oh, it do b*at all...
What some people do
For gold.
Billy?
Billy!
"Billy buckett case
Baffles wyatt earp.
Gold and gunman
Still missing."
It seems like dameron
Ain't never gonna stop
Riding you
In that newspaper
Of his, wyatt.
Well, we've made mr. Dameron
Eat his words before.
I think it's time that
Billy buckett and I
Had a little
Heart-to-heart talk.
Oh, hi, wyatt.
- Morning. Any more visitors?
- Nope.
- ( Glass shattering )
- Trying to poison me, huh?!
Get out of here!
Get out of here,
I told you!
Hey hey hey,
What's the ruckus?
( Groans )
All my life I wanted
Breakfast in bed
And now I got it.
This sidewinder
Brings me food,
- A whole mess of food.
- So what's wrong with that?
Whiskey's what I want.
Lots of whiskey.
And a great big steak.
I--
He's still here!
Get out of here!
Now you calm down,
Old timer.
This isn't a hotel.
It ain't, huh?
Where am i?
This is the back room
Of my saloon.
My name's rickabaugh
And this is marshal earp.
Marshal earp?
Marshal, you're just
The fella I wanna see.
I was-- I was robbed
Of $ , .
You keep on saying that.
How were you carrying
The $ , , billy?
In cash.
$ Gold pieces.
Well, now $ ,
In $ gold pieces
Would weigh more
Than you would, billy.
Must have had
An awfully big poke.
No, I didn't carry it
In no poke, you fool!
It was in a pack
On jenny my burro.
Oh, but...
Now it's all gone.
And billy buckett,
Incorporated's gone bust.
What do you mean incorporated?
That's me.
I'm a corporation.
People own stock
In the gold I dug up.
Well, how did you, uh,
Manage digging up
$ , Worth of gold
And not have everybody
In arizona know about it?
I-- i--
I dug it up in mesa, durango--
Close to the border
In mexico.
Well, I guess
That answers one of
Your questions, wyatt.
Well, I have another.
What kind of a claim yields
$ Gold pieces, billy?
Oh, now don't turn stupid
On me, marshal.
I dug up nuggets.
Then I changed it
For $ gold pieces
At the bank in tucson.
Who are your stockholders?
Uh...
They only wanted to believe
This old desert rat
When I come through here
With a map showing
Where the gold was.
Yes, they--
They grubstaked me.
Each one of us owns %.
Jack morrow,
Paul scott?
Yeah, that's right.
Who's the other?
Well, uh--
Here she comes now!
Marshal, I want you
To meet the widow doane.
I believe I know
Mrs. Doane.
I just read about it
In the newspaper.
Is it bad, billy?
$ , They robbed me.
Would you mind
Leaving us alone, marshal?
I couldn't leave billy
In more charming hands.
Who robbed you, billy?
Uh, I did what I promised.
I found gold.
Who stole it from you?
Jack morrow.
Go see him.
Get it back.
But don't--
Don't tell the marshal.
I don't--
Don't trust him.
Well, good evening.
May I come in?
What brings you here?
You didn't seem to care
For the saloon.
I thought we might
Be able to continue
Our conversation
In more pleasant
Surroundings.
I have nothing further
To say to you, marshal earp.
Will you please leave?
Why can't I join the others?
What others?
Let's make it five,
Shall we?
A widow lady has
To make a living.
Boys.
We got another starter.
Marshal earp.
Sorry, gentlemen,
The game's over.
I have some business
With mrs. Doane.
I said
The game is over.
How'd you, uh,
Find out about
All this?
Doc holliday told me
Some time ago you were
Running a little game.
Just to kinda
Make ends meet.
Uh, I didn't think
It was any of my business
- At the time.
- Oh, what changed your mind?
Just a hunch.
King of spades.
Deuce of diamonds.
Jack of hearts.
Ten of spades.
Seems to me you know
A little bit too much
About marked cards to be
Strictly on the level
Yourself, marshal.
Well, I make it my business
To keep informed.
So you did need money.
Enough to cheat at cards.
Not enough to try
To k*ll billy, if that's
Where you're getting at.
I can't figure out
Why anybody should
Want to k*ll him.
Well, $ , , of course.
How'd you know
He had $ , ?
I just know.
He said--
What'd he say?
He said jack morrow
Robbed him.
Why didn't you
Tell me that?
Where can I find
Jack morrow?
He's here in a warehouse
In town. I'll show you.
- Just tell me.
- ( Chuckles ) oh, no.
If he's got the money,
I want my share.
You know something,
Marshal?
Billy buckett
Doesn't trust you.
Now you know something?
I don't trust
Billy buckett either.
Let's go find
Mr. Morrow, hmm?
( Screaming )
( Breathlessly )
Jack morrow.
Hanged, you say?
su1c1de?
Well, that's the way
Somebody wanted it to look.
But he was hit in the head
So hard,
He must have been half-dead
Before they strung him up.
Now why would anyone
Want to do that
To poor jack morrow?
Maybe somebody found
Jack morrow there
With a load of gold
And took it away from him.
But what makes you think
Old jack stole the money?
Wait a minute.
Didn't you tell mrs. Doane
That jack robbed you?
I did?
I don't remember.
What do you remember?
Well, I just remember
Walking along the street
With my burro jenny
And from the other side
Of the street was a sh*t--
Kerpow!
Are you sure
You were robbed, billy?
That's the only thing
I am sure of.
Who was it exchanged
Minted coins for your gold?
Mr. Scott,
The tucson banker.
Matter of fact, he rode into
Tombstone with me last night.
And he's the only one
That knew about your gold?
Yeah, sure was.
Oh, it do b*at all
What some people do for gold.
Did-- ( coughing )
Marshal...
I hear the rustling
Of black wings.
All I want
Is a fine funeral.
If you're lying to me,
Billy...
You just might get one.
Oh, marshal.
Why would I be lying?
( Exhaling )
Yes, marshal,
I made that transaction
And I did ride in town
With billy buckett.
Now what's wrong with that?
As far as I know,
Mr. Scott,
You're the only one
Of the partners
That actually knew
That billy struck gold.
And your deduction is that
I sh*t billy in the alley,
And then made off with a
Burro-load of gold pieces?
Well, that's my general
Line of thinking.
There's only
One flaw in your
Thinking, marshal.
You see, I wasn't
The only one that knew
That billy had
Struck it rich.
He had notified us all
By letter.
Me, uh, jack morrow
And the widow doane.
That doesn't clear you,
Does it?
Yes, and I'll tell you why.
Billy wanted the division
Of his bonanza
To be the occasion
For a celebration.
He'd written ahead
To reserve a banquet room
At the american hotel.
The partners were all
To meet him there
For a champagne supper.
And?
I was there.
And who else?
Jack morrow was there.
You see, marshal,
Jack and I furnished
Perfect alibis
For one another.
And jack morrow is dead,
So that still
Doesn't clear you.
Mrs. Doane didn't
Show up that night?
No.
Well, neither did billy,
Of course.
Now jack and I waited
For about an hour,
And then we left.
What time?
Between and : .
That's when billy
Was sh*t and robbed.
All right, that's all
For now, mr. Scott.
Just don't leave
Tombstone yet.
Oh, whatever you say,
Marshal.
Oh, uh, give my regards
To the widow doane.
She's mighty attractive,
Isn't she?
Yes, isn't she?
You be careful of her.
Well, what'd you find out?
Well, I checked with
The hotel manager,
And scott was there
At the time that
Billy was sh*t.
So was jack morrow.
What about the widow doane?
Where was she?
Home.
I checked with
Her neighbors.
A widow lady sometimes
Gets lonesome, you know?
- Yeah.
- Let's say that
Billy's three partners
Were far away from the spot
Where he was sh*t.
Well, anyone of them
Could have had an accomplice.
Well, that's the fifth ace.
I'm gonna go inside
And find out
What cards billy's holding.
Howdy, marshal.
Howdy, billy.
How do you feel today?
Oh, mighty poorly.
( Coughing )
Doc says--
Doc says I got
The graveyard cough.
Well, now that's funny.
I just talked to doc
An hour ago
And he said you were
Well enough to get up
And move about.
Are you gonna believe that
Old croaker or believe me?!
Now mr. Scott said
That you were planning on
Throwing a great big
Champagne party
For all the stockholders
That night.
You remember that?
No, I don't recollect.
But-- but it sounds
Like me.
( Chuckles )
You get a dollar,
Spend cents.
Live high, wide
And handsome.
But I'm saving up
For a fine funeral, is i.
Yes, I've often heard you
Say that.
A fine funeral shows
You ain't lived in vain.
Doggone!
Them powder burns
Itch like fire.
Powder burns?
I thought I heard you say
That you were sh*t from
Across the street.
Did I say that?
What you chawing on
Now, marshal?
How could you get powder burns
From across the street, billy?
Well, now how can
A dying man
Tell just how
He was k*lled?
You know, I think you're
The biggest liar I ever knew.
Wyatt, would you
Come out here please?
What is it?
This note was
Slipped under my door.
"The gold is in
The warehouse.
If you wanna make
A deal, be there
At : ."
And no signature.
You think it's
Some sort of a trap?
Whoever took that money
Wouldn't tell you that,
Would he?
I think I'll have
A look around that warehouse.
Well, I'm going with you.
You're determined not
To miss a chance at
Finding that gold,
Aren't you?
Want me to go along
With you?
No, you stay here.
Don't let anybody
In or out
Of billy's room.
That includes billy.
Hello?
Hello?!
Scott:
Who's there?
It's me, hetty!
Hetty doane.
( g*nsh*t )
You talk to him.
I'll try and get around back.
What are you sh**ting
At me for?
Forget it. I've already
k*lled once for it.
Did you get a note too,
Scott?
( Groaning )
It said that
Gold was in here...
In a wells fargo box.
Somebody wanted you to do
Just what you tried to do.
k*ll mrs. Doane.
Did you k*ll morrow?
Billy buckett told me...
Jack morrow robbed him.
I accused morrow.
We fought.
( Inhales sharply )
You know who sh*t you?
You did.
No, somebody else
Was here.
What?
( Whimpering )
( Exhales sharply )
We can't help him now.
Why don't we look for
That wells fargo box?
You won't find anything
Like that here.
I'm convinced that
Billy buckett wrote
Both those notes
To you and scott.
What would he do that for?
It's been his plan
All along.
To turn his greedy partners
Against one another
And k*ll each other off.
He k*lled scott
Just to make sure.
You'd have been next
If I hadn't been here.
Well, somebody sh*t billy.
Who did that?
He gave me the answer
To that tonight.
He complained
Of powder burns.
- What do you mean?
- I mean he creased
His own skull
With his own g*n
To make it look
Like a robbery.
I don't believe it.
He's too sick.
- Wyatt?
- Over here.
Hey, wyatt.
Billy buckett got away.
He went out the window.
Take care of him.
( Singing a tune )
♪ Kicking up my toes
At the dancehall... ♪
Howdy, billy.
Well!
Howdy, son!
Where you heading?
Oh, just thought I'd go out
And find me another stake.
Isn't $ , enough,
Billy?
But I was robbed,
Marshal.
And sh*t too.
Now you saw me.
I also saw scott die
Last night.
You got in that warehouse
And k*lled him, didn't you?
It do b*at all what
Some people would do
For gold, don't it?
Yeah, it do b*at all.
What put you
On to me, marshal?
Well, like I always say,
You give a monkey a tree,
Sooner or later
He'll climb high enough to...
- ( Coins clinking )
- ...show the rings
On his tail.
Hmm. ( Chuckles )
You'll go far, marshal.
You have brains.
( Chuckles )
Beautiful, ain't she?
Yeah.
Would you like some, son?
Maybe a whole handful
Of 'em, huh?
You trying to bribe me,
Billy?
( Chuckles )
Sure I'm trying
To bribe you.
( Stammers )
I have to take you back,
Billy.
( Coins jingle )
What's gonna become
Of all this...
Beautiful, shiny stuff?
Well, I imagine the estates
Of morrow and scott
Will get their share,
And so will the widow doane.
You can use yours
To get a good lawyer.
I worked too hard
To find this gold
To fritter it away
On no lawyer!
All my life I dreamed
Of having breakfast in bed.
I-- I got that
And the other thing is--
I know.
The finest funeral
That money can buy.
There will be enough
For that, billy.
I'll see to it.
Thank you, son.
You got a big heart.
Come on, jenny.
