[Tetsuo breathing nervously]

[Bon grunts]

[wind gusts]

[Tetsuo gasps]

- [fires]

- [yelps]

[Tetsuo] You got me.

[groans]

[groans]

Let's go one more round.

Just face it. You're never gonna beat me.

[Tetsuo] Aw, man. I guess everyone has

the one thing they're good at.

Hmm? And what's that supposed to mean?

I think if you'd been alive

in the time of the Wild West,

you'd have gone down in history

as an outstanding gunslinger.

Uh Yeah. That's probably true.

- [mother] Tetsuo!

- [both murmur nervously]

Did you take

your little brother's toys again?

Guh Hi, Mom.

Look at you. Two junior high school boys,

and you're acting like children.

[old-timey g*nsh*t]

[birds chirping]

[Bon] I guess I was born

in the wrong time period.

[lock clacks]

I'd love to visit the Wild West

and see real gunslingers.

Then let's go.

Really? Cool!

[whoosh]

GUNFIGHT NEAR THE O.K. CORRAL

- [tense music playing]

- [Ream] This is our new rescue target.

[Bon] A little kid?

[Ream] He might be small

and look like a child,

but according to our Research Office,

he's a grown man.

Unfortunately, we don't know his name

or where he was born.

How come?

I thought headquarters always knew

basic stuff like that.

There appear to be

space-time discontinuities

happening in this area,

so the images aren't clear.

We only have this one clip of him,

due to sheer luck.

[Bon] Oh no! Behind him!

[static crackling]

[Ream] Yep. Looks like

this wasn't much of a fair fight.

He was ambushed and m*rder*d.

- [Bon] So brutal.

- [static crackles]

I want to save him! Let's go!

It's not gonna be so easy this time.

Well, why not?

We don't know precisely

when or where this happened.

What we do know is it was May 1881,

and it happened somewhere

near the town of Tombstone.

So how are we gonna find him?

[Ream] We'll just have to go there

and search for him ourselves.

That doesn't sound like a very solid plan.

Ah, but what if this time,

we do an undercover investigation?

Undercover?

You pretend to be one of the locals

to find our target.

Yeah! I'm down for that!

[old-timey g*nsh*t]

[Bon] I can't wait to get there!

- I'm pretty fast at quick-draw, you know.

- [dryly] Oh, yeah?

I'm so good,

I could have even become famous,

if I'd been alive

in the Wild West that is.

That's what the word

on the street is, anyway.

- [Buyoyon] No one is saying that.

- [Bon] I mean, one person did.

[Time Boats whir]

[Ream] Here we are. Tombstone.

Cochise County, Arizona.

[Bon] It's like being on a movie set.

Okay, so we're going to pretend

to be locals here.

We'll then investigate

by interacting with the residents.

So that's how we'll be undercover, yeah?

Well, we also need to acquire

general knowledge about the United States

in this time period.

Oh, yeah. Good idea.

But don't you already know everything

you need to know about the United States,

seeing as you're from the US

in the future?

[whirring]

I only learn about certain

historical events in middle school,

so I still need to know

about the lifestyle and culture

of this time period.

[whirring]

Tombstone was a town founded in 1879

in the American frontier.

People came to this town from all over

to mine for silver, which was found

in the nearby San Pedro hills.

In just two years,

the population grew to 5,600 inhabitants.

[Bon] Not only was the town

full of cowboys and miners,

there were also scammers, gamblers,

livestock rustlers, and wanted criminals.

It was a pretty dangerous place.

[Ream] This is also where the Gunfight

at the O.K. Corral took place,

the most famous gunfight

in the history of the American frontier.

The O.K. Corral?

Oh yeah! I knew I'd heard

the name Tombstone somewhere before.

So you've heard the story, then?

There's a bunch of movies about it!

My dad loves the old westerns,

so we always watch them together.

Am I really gonna see the big gunfight

that's in all the movies?

That's not gonna happen, I'm afraid.

Why not?

[Buyoyon] It doesn't go down

for another five months.

Now for the next part of being undercover.

Come. Give me your arm.

Wait. What's that? I'm afraid of needles!

Don't worry. We use this device

to temporarily alter appearances.

Right now, you can't totally blend in

with the locals the same way I can.

I guess. But still

- [clack]

- Ow!

[whimsical music playing]

[tinkling ascending whir]

- [Bon murmurs nervously]

- Yep, that should definitely work.

- Huh.

- All right. Next, put these on.

I have to change my underwear?

[Ream] You betcha.

Your modern synthetic underwear

didn't exist yet in this time period.

[old-timey g*nsh*t]

[tinkling]

- What do you think?

- [Bon] Oh, wow. I think you look great.

Why, thank you.

So how about me?

You certainly fit the part.

- [gasps]

- [Buyoyon] Buyo.

- Hmm.

- Wait a minute.

What gives?

Is something wrong?

[Buyoyon] Hmm

- Oh!

- This could work perfectly!

- Huh? What could?

- [beep]

[Ream] Headquarters,

we need a custom-built g*n.

It has to look identical

to our rescue target's g*n.

[Bon] Huh?

- [horse whinnies]

- [hooves galloping]

[intriguing guitar music playing]

Whoa. This is wild.

Yeah, this is totally different

from the United States that I'm used to.

Feels like a theme park.

We should get a room there.

- [horse whinnies, snorts]

- [stagecoach clatters]

This hotel is right

on the corner of Main Street,

and there's a stagecoach station below us.

We might get a lead

if we keep an eye out from here.

You were right. I really do look like him.

I want you to walk around the town

so people can get a good look at you.

Good idea.

If anyone recognizes this face,

they'll most likely come and talk to me.

[Buyoyon] Do you realize

you've got your best tracker in a bag?

- [Ream] Uh, sorry. My bad.

- [Buyoyon mutters]

I will not forget this!

Hmm!

- Hmm.

- It's a shockwave g*n.

It knocks people unconscious.

That's it? That's not fun at all.

Hey, you! This isn't a movie!

If you used a real g*n,

you could actually k*ll someone!

That's right. It's our duty

as Time Patrol agents to save lives.

So let's try not to m*rder anyone.

Well, yeah, I know that.

Okay. Then why don't we split up

and try to gather some information?

- [Bon] Mm-hmm.

- Oh.

And make sure you leave your Forgetter

and your Timeceiver in this bag.

Huh? Even the Timeceiver?

Yep. Anything that might arouse suspicion.

[Buyoyon] That means

your Time Controller too, Ream.

[Ream] All right, then.

[Bon] So what exactly

are you going to do, Buyoyon?

I'm going to use my intuition

and eavesdrop.

Cool. Happy trails.

Hey! This isn't a game!

You stay out of trouble, okay? Humph.

[horse neighs]

Of course I'm going to

stay out of trouble.

But since I'm actually in the Wild West,

I hope I get at least one chance

to show off my gunslinger skills.

[g*n clacks]

[chuckles] Hmm-hmm.

- [g*n whizzes]

- Uh.

- [descending whistle]

- [clang]

[ascending whistle]

Hey, you! That hurt!

[murmurs] I'm so sorry!

It just slipped out of my hand!

You think I'm gonna fall for Uh!

- [Bon] Uh

- Y-You. You're that fella.

Huh? Oh, right! Do you happen

to know who I am by any chance?

N-No!

Here. Take a good close look

at this face. Are you sure?

No! I don't know you!

- We never met before!

- [Bon] Are you positive?

That was weird.

[old-timey g*nsh*t]

[Buyoyon] Tippy-toe, tippy-toe, here I go.

Hmm? Ha-ha.

[man 1] The sheriff's never gonna

listen to us.

[man 2] People 'round here say

he's being bribed.

[man 3] Yep. That's Tombstone for ya.

Oh.

So there's no law here.

- [snorts]

- Huh? Aah!

- [whinnies]

- [man 1] What's the matter, girl?

Uh-oh.

[murmurs nervously]

- [man 3] Uh

- [man 2] Huh?

- Oh. It's just horse sh*t.

- [gasping in terror]

- [grumbles]

- [horse neighs]

[Buyoyon] Ooph! Ow!

Get your dirty hooves off of me,

you vile beasts! [whimpers]

[grunts]

How dare those western jerks

call me horse sh*t!

[grunts, grumbles]

Buyo?!

It's true, I tell ya!

That scoundrel Jim?

He's here in town?

Come on, Danny,

you are full of crap, and you know it.

[Danny] I almost jumped

outta my skin when I saw him!

That kid's here for me.

Morgan, you should get out of town now.

Nah. Let's tell the sheriff

to bring him in.

[grunts] Yeah, good idea.

- [man 4] Wait!

- [all] Huh?

He's mine.

You sure about that, Kirk?

Everyone knows his skill

at being quick on the draw.

[Kirk] Hmm.

I've got a score to settle with that guy.

- [yawns]

- [stagecoach rumbling]

[horses snort, nicker]

Hmm

Hmm.

Hmm.

- [Buyoyon] Ream!

- [gasps]

[breathless] I have news.

What the heck happened to you?

Did you get trampled on?

Yes, but that's not important right now.

- Look.

- What is this? [gasps]

Our target is wanted dead or alive?

He's accused of committing

stagecoach robberies and prison breaks!

That's strange.

Why would headquarters send its agents

on a mission to save the life

of a wanted criminal?

I just don't understand it at all.

- [whines] What's going on?

- [gasps]

Wait a minute.

- [gasps]

- Hey! Where are you going?

- [bell clanging]

- [Ream panting]

This is bad.

[breathes heavily]

[murmuring nervously, panting]

[Bon] The O.K. Corral,

five months from this day,

October 26th, 1881,

Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday are going to

have the showdown of the century

against the Clanton brothers right here!

Huh. I thought it would be bigger.

And shouldn't a ranch have

a bunch of cattle running around?

Wait a minute.

I remember this

from the compressed learning.

This place wasn't a traditional ranch.

They didn't raise livestock.

Cattle were only brought here

to be sold off.

- [Kirk] It's been a while, Jim.

- [Bon] Huh?

Talking to me?

Don't play games, boy.

You're James Wright,

known to most folks around here

as Babyface Jim.

This is so cool!

You exposed me for cheatin' at poker.

- Don't you go trying to deny it, y'hear?

- Hmm

I'm not really looking for any trouble.

How about you tell me

more about me instead? Sound good?

[Kirk grumbles]

Guess that's a no.

[Kirk grunts]

All right, then. Looks like it's on.

[both gasp]

[man 1 gasps]

[Bon] The duel is a go.

It's me or him.

[suspenseful music playing]

[sharp ping]

Aw, man. The sun, it's blinding me.

What's wrong with you?

Go ahead and draw already,

you little worm.

[murmuring]

[Kirk grumbles]

[g*nsh*t echoes]

- [murmuring anxiously]

- [thud]

- [Kirk groans]

- Wait. Did I

Win?

I won! Yes! I won!

- [man 2] Freeze!

- [gasps]

Keep those hands up!

Babyface Jim,

you're under arrest.

Ooh! Hey, missy. Come and have a drink.

- May I ask you something?

- Huh? What do you wanna know?

I'd like you to tell me

everything you know

about the man in this poster.

[man 3] Hmm

Bartender, get this man

another round of drinks.

I reckon that will buy enough

to get me drunk for quite a while.

[slurps, exhales]

Mm-mm.

So you'll tell me what I need to know?

I saw a boy this afternoon

who looked just like him,

walking without a horse

along the San Pedro River.

Looked like he was headed

toward Tombstone.

- [Ream] Thank you.

- [man 3] You betcha.

[Danny grumbles]

[Bon] But I I had no idea!

Don't give me that.

You were arrested for stagecoach robbery,

but you broke out of prison

that very same night.

And it's definitely your face

on the wanted poster.

Robbery? A prison break?

It makes no sense.

How am I such a bad guy?

I had absolutely no clue.

You're one odd fella.

[suspenseful music playing]

[birds squawking]

[Jim] Pardon the intrusion.

[crickets chirping]

[Buyoyon] That guy's the real Jim.

I'll go talk to him.

No! Have you forgotten

he's a wanted criminal?

[Ream] He doesn't look like one to me.

[Buyoyon] You can't judge people

by looks alone.

I know, but I need to find out

why headquarters wanted us

to save a criminal,

especially one like him.

Wait! You shouldn't go!

[Ream] Don't worry, Buyoyon.

- You should find Bon.

- [grumbles]

[footsteps approaching]

[Jim] Who's there?

[Ream] Oh. Um

Oh. Hi there. I didn't mean to scare you.

- [Ream] I didn't mean to scare you either.

- That's all right.

So why's a young lady

traveling by her lonesome out here?

Oh, well, it's a long story,

but now I'm making my way

back to the ranch on foot.

Long story, huh?

I got one of those too.

Have a seat

and get some rest, if you like.

Much obliged.

It's true, I swear!

Don't you give me this crap again!

But it is. The coachman himself

said he saw him earlier!

That so? Then who was that varmint

who knocked me unconscious this morning?

Look, I arrested him and put him in jail.

Well, maybe he managed to break out again?

- We should go check on him.

- Good idea, big brother.

[horse whinnies]

[snoring]

I'm I'm the best gunslinger in the world.

[Buyoyon] Hey!

- And nobody is quicker than me.

- [Buyoyon grumbles]

- Wake up, you lazy bum!

- [Bon gasps] W-W-What?

B-B-Buyoyon?

Finally.

I was looking all over town for you.

Well, you found me.

And I found out who I look like.

I'm actually quite a bad guy.

[Buyoyon] Babyface Jim. I know.

Time to go.

What? You know?

[horse whinnies]

Huh?

[Kirk] Where the hell is he?

There's no one here. This place is empty.

You sure you arrested him, Sheriff?

Of course I did. I locked him in.

So are you saying he just vanished?

Is Is he a ghost?

Now we know that coachman

was telling the truth after all.

Calm down, Danny. He's just a stupid kid.

[Morgan] Yeah, but this is starting

to give me the creeps.

Look here. The Clanton brothers

ain't the sort to abandon a friend.

That's right. Don't you worry.

We'll protect you by hook or by crook.

You can count me in too.

I'll be happy to get another shot at him.

Much obliged, gentlemen.

- [Buyoyon whizzes]

- [hurried footsteps]

[Buyoyon] I finally found him!

- Huh?

- Hey! How's it going?

- Jump on. We gotta go.

- [Bon pants]

One second I was reaching for my g*n,

and the next thing I knew,

he was on the ground.

So maybe I am an amazing gunslinger.

Seems obvious.

- [flatly] Yeah, sure.

- Mm.

Are you mad? I was just kidding.

It's not that.

There's just something

I can't stop thinking about.

Actually there's something

I've been thinking about too.

[Ream] What is it?

Our job is really

to save a dangerous criminal?

I mean, even if headquarters

really didn't know who he was,

something's not right.

Uh.

Here's the thing.

I'm pretty positive

Babyface Jim is innocent.

What? Why do you think that?

I've been awful reckless

since I was 17 years old,

but I stay away from trouble now.

Although there is something I have to do.

Over in Tombstone?

I'll have a showdown

with the fella who set me up.

Then I'll be all done.

[Ream] The real robber was Glen Morgan.

He gave a false testimony

and used it to set Jim up.

So Jim broke out of prison with the hope

of catching Morgan on his own.

[Bon] So where is Morgan now?

He's at the Clanton Ranch.

You see, Morgan and the Clanton brothers

have been acquaintances for years.

Why don't we go to the Sheriff

and tell him what we know,

and then he can arrest Morgan himself?

Because the sheriff who arrested you

is also a member of the Clanton g*ng.

- Man, what a town.

- I know.

Plus, tomorrow, Morgan and his friends

are gonna have a gunfight with Jim.

That's what we saw

in the video from headquarters.

Well, if we can't trust the sheriff,

then why don't you just

tell Jim about it now?

I'm afraid it's not as simple as that.

[Bon] Why not?

A gunfight means

they'll try to k*ll each other.

Yeah, of course.

If we help Jim,

then he's gonna k*ll those five men.

[Bon] Hmm.

But that won't support

what the history books say.

In five months, the Clanton brothers

are at the O.K. Corral.

You're right.

If Wyatt Earp's enemies

get k*lled by Jim now,

there won't be a movie.

Yeah, not really what I meant,

but you and your gunslinging skills

are gonna make sure that doesn't happen.

Uh

Uh?!

[sharp ping]

So here I am, about to have a gunfight

with a g*ng in the Wild West.

This should be a dream, but really

it's a nightmare.

[Buyoyon] You think he'll be okay?

Oh, he'll be fine.

When the gunfight is about to start,

I'll just use my Time Controller.

What are you doing?

Get me the Time Controller

from out of the bag.

What? Wait. Don't you have it on you?

I thought you had it.

Well, I do not. I thought you had it.

Uh

Wait. Hang on.

Then, does that mean

we left it back at the hotel?!

What?! How are you so careless?

You said to leave it behind

in the first place!

What are you going to do?

We're running out of time!

- Um Think, Ream.

- I'm sure I told you to bring it!

- I said it three times!

- I'll go get it.

What? No, wait. What about Bon?

I promise, I won't be long.

Just buy me some time, okay?

Wha?!

[hawk screeches]

Why does it feel like

I've been here before?

Gah!

This is the scene I saw in the video!

[murmurs nervously]

Hey.

Hey, uh, Ream! You there?

Shh! Keep quiet.

They might get suspicious.

I'm not sure about this.

[Buyoyon] Don't worry.

Ream will make it back here in no time.

Maybe.

Uh "Maybe"?

Where is Ream?

Hmm. Well, she just had

a quick errand to run.

- What?

- Just try to buy some time, okay?

- [murmurs anxiously]

- [Morgan] Jim!

- [gasps]

- Buyo!

[tense music playing]

I've been waitin' for ya.

What the heck?

I believe you've been lookin'

for my esteemed self?

Uh. So you're Morgan, yeah?

You know who I am. Stop acting a fool!

I've gotta buy time somehow.

[Morgan] You and I have

some business to settle, don't we?

Oh, really?

- What business is that?

- [Morgan] Now drop the act!

I know you broke outta prison

just to face me here and now.

Uh Thanks for the reminder.

Now, I'll give you what you want.

Let's fight.

[Bon murmurs nervously]

This is it.

[tense music continues]

[murmurs nervously]

[chuckling]

[murmuring builds]

Help me, Ream!

- Hee!

- [g*nshots]

- [Bon groans] I've been shot.

- [g*n clatters]

[grunts]

[gasps] Huh?

[thrum]

- [panting breathlessly]

- [Time Boat whirs]

I can't believe I made it in time.

All right, Ream!

[sighs]

I'm alive.

Since you're up against five men,

I'll even out the odds a bit

and make you five times faster than them.

Sweet!

Let the fight resume!

- [thrum]

- [zap]

[b*ll*ts ricochet]

Huh? He's gone.

- Hey, Morgan!

- What in tarnation?

[Morgan grunts]

- What the?

- Where'd he go?

- [Bon] I'm right here.

- [both] Huh?

- [both grunt]

- What the hell's going on here?

- He really is a ghost! Aah!

- [Kirk murmurs]

And now, the final shot!

- [blasting]

- [both groan]

[Danny grunts]

[music crescendoes]

- [blows]

- [music fades out]

Woo! He won!

Great work, gunslinger Bon!

All that's left to do now

is move Morgan to an hour later

so that the real Jim

will eventually find him.

[Buyoyon] And then,

he'll catch Morgan himself.

The Clanton brothers and their friends

will regain consciousness soon,

and in five months' time

They'll be fighting against Wyatt Earp

and Doc Holliday at the O.K. Corral.

[gasps]

[Ream] Mission accomplished!

[strains]

I still would have liked to have seen

that famous gunfight though.

It wouldn't be that much fun.

A real gunfight only lasts a few seconds

and then it's over.

[Buyoyon] In reality, it's pretty sad.

- Okay, then. Let's go home.

- [Buyoyon] Mm.

It is pretty sad. That's true.

[Time Boat whirs, whooshes]

[bird calling]

[birds chirping]

[Tetsuo] Hey, Bon.

I'm ready to face you in another gunfight.

- [Bon] I'm out.

- Huh? How come?

- Playing with toy g*ns is just immature.

- [Tetsuo] Hmm?

It just feels childish

after you've experienced a big gunfight

out near the O.K. Corral.

[Tetsuo] Uh

[Bon] Forget about it. Let's just go home.

[old-timey g*nsh*t]

["Tears in the Sky" by Lena Leon playing]
