Of wyatt earp
( g*nshots )
( Neighs )
( Shouts )
Pony soldiers will
Blame us for this.
No, I will tell
Marshal earp.
Chief nachez, we are not
On the reservation.
Marshal earp will be
Angry and not listen.
If we send for him,
He no come.
Talk talk!
I know what to do.
We will wait for marshal earp
Or big wyoming on the trail.
They ride much
To charleston.
You, my scouts, go find
Marshal earp or big wyoming.
If you bring marshal earp
To camp, fine.
If you take big wyoming,
Marshal earp come
Looking for him.
They'll be angry, nachez.
Not as angry as
The pony soldiers will be.
If they catch us,
We hang.
No more talk!
Now go.

Announcer:
"The life and legend of wyatt
Earp" starring hugh o'brian.
Narrator:
Marshal wyatt earp got
Along very well
With most indians.
And he especially liked
Chief nachez,
The son of cochise.
But there was one time
When the apache chief was off
The san carlos reservation
And became the prime suspect
In an act of v*olence
Committed near tombstone.
Hey!
What in thunder is
Going on here?
Now you apaches
Just cut out this foolishness
Right now, you hear?
Where is marshal earp?
In tombstone.
Where do you think he'd be?
Now get this rope
Off of me.
Chief nachez sent me to find
Marshal earp or you.
We find you.
Nachez?
Has that rascal
Done gone and jumped
The reservation?
I take you to him.
We not hurt you, john law.
Nachez oughta knowed
Better than this.
Wyatt ain't gonna like it
One little bit, I can tell you.
Marshal earp and nachez
Are friends.
Huh.
They was friends.
How far do we gotta go?
Not a short ride.
Not a long ride.
You act good,
We act good.
- ( Brays )
- Take it easy, roscoe.
We'll live, I guess.
I don't like it.
Mr. Gibbs
Is nine hours overdue
From charleston.
I think the clantons
Might have got him.
Nine hours is too long
To take for that trip.
Could be that mule of his
Has gone lame though, wyatt.
No, read
The telegram again.
Ayers says that
His roadhouse is full
Of the clanton outlaws
Celebrating.
They might have
Bushwhacked him.
I never should have
Let mr. Gibbs
Go to charleston alone.
Wyatt, let me call out
The vigilantes.
Old man clanton's been
Asking for a showdown
And this might
Just as well be it.
I'm sorry, sir,
But this is personal.
This is my resignation
As city marshal
And u.s. Deputy marshal.
I know you're angry, wyatt,
And I don't blame you.
But I think you should
Take time to think it over.
Sir, shotgun gibbs is
A good friend of mine.
If he's been bushwhacked,
I'm gonna get the men
Who did it.
And after that I want
The right to act as
A private citizen.
All right, I'll get
Doc holliday.
No sir, please.
Doc isn't in any condition
To travel
As fast and as far
As I may have to go.
Then let me
Help you, wyatt.
All right, you just print
In your newspaper
That I've resigned
And left tombstone.
Maybe then I can get
The information I'm after.
Well, I want to ride
Out with you, wyatt.
I know that, sir,
And I appreciate it.
But I want to do this alone.
The best way for you
To help me is to pass the word
That I'm an ex-john law
And bitter.
Then maybe I can get some
Hoodlums to tell me the truth.
Wyatt.
Won't you at least wait
Until you cool off?
I'm sorry, sir, but the feelings
A man has for a good friend
Never change.
If things work out,
I'll be back for that star.
- Who is it?
- Wyatt.
( Lock clicks )
You said in your wire
The clantons were celebrating.
- Yeah.
- They mention mr. Gibbs?
- No. Why?
- I have a hunch
They bushwhacked him.
They didn't
Mention him at all?
It's too early
In the evening
For any loose talk.
Someone might get
To bragging later on
When they really get going.
I guess that's
My best chance,
- Wait for a tip-off.
- Yes, I guess it is.
First you pass the word
That I quit my job.
I had a big row
With the chief u.s. Marshal
And the governor.
I'm mad,
Sick and tired
Of being a john law,
- Too many risks for the money--
Well, you know what to say.
- Right.
And I'll also need
Some watered-down whiskey
And an introduction
To one of the bar girls.
I have to act like a man
Who's trying to forget
His troubles.
Well, maybe someone will
Believe it, but I don't know.
Only one of them
Has to believe it.
While you're trying to set
This up, I'll wait in here.
I'll come in
The front door.
If I act different,
Don't be surprised.
I'll lock the door
On the outside.
Where is marshal earp?
Big wyoming say
He is in tombstone.
Why did you bring him here?
Why did you not wait
Till marshal earp
Came looking for his friend?
- We fear posse.
- Marshal earp would not
Hurt you.
Get my coup stick.
It is a sign of friendship.
Scout for my friend.
Bring him back.
I am sorry, big wyoming,
But I have to see
Marshal earp.
- What about?
- You are my guest.
We have deer meat.
We will talk.
Why don't you indians
Do things straight?
You could have sent
Wyatt a message.
This way wyatt probably reckons
I've been bushwhacked.
First you jump
The reservation,
Then you kidnap
A peace officer.
You're in bad
Trouble, nachez.
And where's my shotgun?!
There.
You say
I'm in bad trouble?
There will be worse trouble
If they do not find
Marshal earp and bring him
Here to talk with me.
Come to the fire.
It is good meat.
I got to water
My mule roscoe.
They will have
Water.
You act like a man
With good sense,
Big wyoming.
Well, how'd you act
If you had r*fles
Pointed at your head?
If we find marshal earp,
We do not need to sh**t you.
Well, perhaps I should have
Told you sooner, doc.
But wyatt said he wanted
To handle it all alone.
You think he took
The charleston trail?
He said he was going out
To look for signs
Of a bushwhack
And then go talk
To j.b. Ayer.
Pure selfishness!
The first time wyatt earp
Ever went out to k*ll
Any outlaws
And he wants to do it
All by himself.
After all, I deserve more
Consideration, you know.
Gibbs was
A friend of mine too!
If wyatt starts k*lling
Without me, I'll never
Speak to him again!
Hyah.
Bring everybody
Another drink.
( Happy chattering )
Here's to the law...
( Snorts )
Pay you $ a month,
Then they don't even bury you
When you're full of lead.
- ( Laughter )
- Yeah, the law!
Now I'm gonna
Drink to myself
And all the years
I've wasted.
Is it true, mr. Earp?
You really took your
Badge off for good?
Yep.
Then why don't
We go to a table
And relax ourselves?
Huh?
Sure.
Bartender, give her
Whatever she wants.
You look sad.
Come on, everybody's
Celebrating tonight.
What is it,
Fourth of july?
Just the same as.
Our boys had a big bushwhack.
- That's good.
- It was real good.
There was curley and johnny
And the mclowerys.
- Shut up, lola.
- What?
This is wyatt earp.
The john law around tombstone.
Not anymore.
He quit.
- Didn't you, hon'?
- That's right.
Maybe he did.
You hard of hearing?
I said I quit.
All right,
All right.
Come on.
Let's go
To my place.
It's peaceful-like
And private at my place.
I gotta wait here
For old man clanton.
He never comes here.
Are you sure he didn't tell you
To meet him at gayleyville?
- Why gayleyville?
- That's where the big party is.
Ike and phin and billy
Stopped by about an hour ago.
They just had
A couple of drinks.
What's that you...
You said they were celebrating?
The big bushwhack, hon'.
Come on, you can talk
To the old man tomorrow.
Besides, they'll all be
Too drunk to talk business now.
What's the matter, doc?
You look worried.
Course he is.
The great marshal earp
Got fired.
( Laughter )
Doc!
We don't want this fight.
Let's have a drink
In the back room.
What about us, hon'?
Later.
( Murmuring )
Have you been drinking?
- It's part of the act.
- The girl too?
She says that the clantons
Pulled a big bushwhack
And they're over
In gayleyville
Celebrating.
I guess you know who
Might be dead.
It looks that way.
How do I get at 'em,
By ones or twos?
You mean how are we
Gonna get at 'em?
You're not leaving me
Out of this.
All right.
Well, clanton parties
Generally break up about
: In the morning.
There's only one good trail
Out of gayleyville
Till you get to the forks.
We could start sh**ting there
And get them as they come.
How many do you want?
Brocius, ringo,
The mclowerys and clanton.
Wyatt, you make
My heart sing.
( Door rattle, knocks )
- Hey, earp, earp!
- Yeah?
The boys want you and doc
To come out of there.
- ( Men agreeing )
- You just tell them
To keep their shirts on.
If it's a fight they want,
They're gonna get it.
- Horse?
- Out front.
Mine too.
Let's go out the back way.
Hop up, I'll cover
For you.
Out here!
( g*nsh*t )
Come on, wyatt.
( g*nsh*t )
I don't reckon
Any of the boys
Feel like
Warning our friends
At gayleyville.
You're still using
Wing sh*ts.
Those cowboys
Are small fry.
Gonna be any different
When we jump the big g*ns?
- Yep.
- You know, wyatt,
This is one of the moments
I've kept myself alive for.
( Hoofbeats )
Rider coming.
- Marshal earp.
- Yes?
Chief nachez send me
To find you.
- Very important.
- Why?
We take big wyoming
With shotgun to chief.
- Gibbs?
- Is he alive?
Chief nachez does not
Hurt him yet.
I take you to him.
He must talk with you.
- Very important.
- You think he's telling
The truth, wyatt?
Apache does not lie.
Here.
From nachez
To you, his friend.
Nachez's coup stick
With his sign.
Why did your chief
Take big wyoming?
I take you to camp.
Nachez make talk.
- He say why.
- Wyatt,
This may be a trick.
Old man clanton could
Have arranged it.
No,
The apaches hate clanton.
How far is your camp?
We be there
When sun comes up.
All right.
I'd better go alone.
Doc, you go on back
To tombstone.
Mr. Clum will need
One of us there.
Gibbs better be alive.
I ought to sh**t nachez
Just for all the trouble
He's caused me.
Get some sleep.
You'll feel better tomorrow.
You love apaches!
Hyah!
Your friend has
Bad temper.
So has nachez.
Especially if he gets
To thinking that I'm not coming.
Move out.
Hey, roscoe,
Cut that out.
I'm done already
Awake, boy.
- ( People chattering )
- ( Brays )
Hey, what's all
The ruckus over there?
We've been here
Too long now.
- Couldn't find wyatt, huh?
- No.
They are fools.
We cannot stay here.
Pony soldiers
Search for us.
If they find an apache chief
With a john law prisoner,
- I know what they do.
- Yeah, so do i.
Say, didn't you send four
Of your braves out to scout?
Yes.
Why do you ask?
Well, if I was you,
I'd wait until
The fourth one came back
Before I started breaking camp.
You want the pony soldiers
To hang me?
All you gotta do is
Turn me loose and go back
To the reservation.
I do not know I can
Trust you, big wyoming.
You could tell about
What I have done.
- We have to sh**t you.
- Well, now now now,
Just hold on.
I wouldn't do nothing like that.
Wyatt wouldn't like that
And you sure enough
Wouldn't be his friend no more.
Bring the white man's g*n
We take from cattle camp.
You are nice, wyoming.
But I do not want
My men to hang.
I do not want to hang.
I, chief nachez, will sh**t you
So you do not suffer.
Well, I thank you kindly,
- But I just ain't ready to--
- sh**t him, sh**t him!
- ( g*nsh*t )
- Let him go, mr. Gibbs.
It is marshal earp,
My friend.
He is a brave man.
I thought
You were too.
Aw, take it easy, wyatt.
Chief here says he's got
Bad troubles.
He sure has--
Jumping the reservation,
Kidnapping a peace officer.
Naw, it's worse than that.
Worse than that.
- Maybe he'll tell you.
- He'd better!
I tell him.
I need your help.
We saw many clanton outlaws
Bushwhack
Mexican wagon train.
- ( g*nshots )
- These were not mexican
Soldiers or fighting men.
Just wagon drivers
With guards.
I know we should stop it,
But I do not have
Enough braves.
There were too many.
We saw the clantons k*ll
And then they t*rture.
It was not nice.
Then we saw them do more.
They scalp
Mexican drivers.
They want pony soldiers
To think apaches
Do this thing.
We are not
On reservation, true.
It is not permitted
Us to be here, true.
But we are hunting
For food.
Now we be blamed
For this m*rder.
- Them clantons.
- Where'd it happen?
San luis canyon.
Only three sleeps ago.
Old man clanton
And his men were celebrating
At gayleyville last night.
I thought it was you
They bushwhacked.
- Ah, you believe me?
- Yes.
We'll all have to go
To san luis canyon.
I'll have to make
An official report on this.
What if the pony soldiers
Catch us there?
I said I believed you.
Does nachez not trust me?
Chief, this is
Bad trouble.
But wyatt can square you
With the army.
Very well.
We go.
Give him his g*n.
You know,
I guess I never will
Understand them apaches.
Now why couldn't
That scamp've just
Wrote you a letter?
Because the apaches don't
Believe in writing messages.
They think that their soul
Will go with the letter
And never return.
How would you like it
If you soul wound up
In the dead-letter office?
Well, tell you the truth,
I ain't got much faith
In the u.s. Mail myself.
Listen, is there any way
That we can pin that m*ssacre
On them clantons?
We'll find out.
Why, thank you kindly.
Marshal earp know
How apache take scalp.
Would apache do this?
No.
Bad apache
Is not nice.
Bad white man
Is worse.
I agree with you.
The colonel at fort huachuca
Will have
To hear about this.
Will you come with me?
Pony soldiers not like us.
It is not good to go there.
You'd better go and tell them
Your story yourself.
You want all the apaches
In the san carlos to be
Blamed for this?
No.
We go to fort huachuca.
The point is, colonel,
That old man clanton
Has become bolder
And bloodier in his raids
On the mexican wagon trains.
If something isn't
Done to stop him,
The mexicans
Are bound to fight back.
Quite true, marshal.
At any rate, chief nachez
Has done the army
And his own people
A great service in
The san luis canyon affair.
Yes.
Chief nachez,
I'll spare you the indignity
Of returning you
To the reservation
Under m*llitary guard.
However,
I must have your word
You'll return at once.
You have my word.
We thank you,
Marshal earp.
Well, sir, you do believe
The apaches this time?
I'm inclined to,
Mr. Earp.
Unfortunately
The word of an indian,
Even a chief,
Is not sufficient
For me to take action
Against clanton.
I understand, sir,
But it is enough for me
To take action against him.
The mexican government
Has been complaining to
Washington about clanton.
The truth is
The mexicans already
Raid across our border.
The only help
I can promise you
Is a tighter patrol
On the canyon trails.
Thank you, sir.
This latest raid has
Hit a new low
When even apaches are
Shocked by it.
Good day, sir.
Good day, marshal.
What are you so happy about?
Well, mr. Gibbs, for one thing
I'm glad you're alive.
I thought I was going to have
To start k*lling somebody
Over your being dead.
We were ready to drop clantons
All along the trail
From gayleyville.
Huh!
You make me almost sorry
I wasn't bushwhacked.
Well, I'm glad
You weren't.
- I still don't
Care for k*lling.
- ( g*nshots )
Mi amigo,
Do you know
Who is senor clanton?
- Si.
- You tell him
The next time he raid
He will die.
With pleasure.
Gracias.
Vamonos.
- You hear that roscoe?
- ( Brays )
Hold on now, boy.
What are you sad for?
Now maybe roscoe feels sad
About all us humans,
Mr. Gibbs.
