Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Comanche, Kiowa, Cheyenne. They fought long and hard to hold their hunting ground against
00:00:19the westward push of the white man's frontier till a peace treaty was signed in the 1870s
00:00:25in Kansas. But there was no peace in Dodge City. Outlaws and gunfighters took up where
00:00:33the Indians left off and turned that trail town into a battleground. Dodge was a rich
00:00:41prize, center of the buffalo trade, ended the trail for cattle herds driving up from
00:00:46Texas to meet the railroad spur to Abilene. Where trail hands were paid off, girls and
00:00:52gamblers were there to take it away, where bad men shot it out with the lawmen. Until
00:00:57at last the law settled down in Dodge. The law was written in bullets from a six-gun in the
00:01:03hand of a man named Masterson. A pair of polished boots on a dusty trail street. One man moving
00:01:13slow, other men moving fast to clear the way. That's how it was that hot July afternoon when
00:01:22Bat Masterson took a walk down Front Street to meet up with Doc Holliday. And folks all knew that
00:01:28only one of them would be walking back. Sure there's no other way to do it, Bat? He didn't
00:01:33drift back into Dodge by accident. When he crosses second street, he knows I'll be there, waiting
00:01:38for him. Can't be any other way. Why don't you wait till my brother gets back? He'd listen
00:01:42to Wyatt. Wyatt Earp's as fine a man as ever wore a badge. But he's got a blind spot. Doc
00:01:48Holliday. Doc ain't done no harm this trip. Not yet. Maybe don't mean to. That's like giving
00:01:53a rattlesnake the first bite. He's a sick man, Virgil. Makes him mad to see anybody healthy.
00:01:59He's a cold-blooded killer. Never killed a man who didn't have a gun in his hand. That's why
00:02:04he's never wound up at the end of a rope. There are plenty of ways to bait a man into
00:02:07a fight. And Holliday knows them all. When you can draw and shoot like he can, it's murder.
00:02:12No matter who draws first. You can't wait to go down there and meet
00:02:15him. That's my job. And it's Wyatt's too. When he was sheriff, yes. Now Wyatt's a federal
00:02:21marshal and I'm sheriff. That makes Doc Holliday my job. I told Doc what would happen if he
00:02:26ever came back to Dodge. Well, he's back.
00:02:34Doc. You don't know me, Doc, but I'm your friend. I choose my friends and I still don't
00:02:47know you. Sure, Doc. But he ain't no friend of Masterson's
00:02:50either. So I had to tell you. He's coming for you.
00:02:53That'd be news if he wasn't. He'll be waiting to stop you if you try to cross
00:02:562nd Street. Well, I came here to do some gambling. Had some bad luck in Tombstone.
00:03:02I like the cards at the salamander. And that's the other side of 2nd Street.
00:03:08Then I hope your luck ain't still bad, Doc. Ain't you superstitious?
00:03:11Only when I'm winning. Don't like to break my luck by killing a man. But when I'm losing?
00:03:17Doc. If you need any help, I can cover you.
00:03:25Now, I will make my luck to guerra.
00:03:27Then I will star in France. You'll be back.
00:03:29So I can prepare to fight them as soon as they're only going down.
00:03:33Then into a baby. Let's dodge at the final beam.
00:03:35Just as the sparks, I have to Beat E는데요.
00:03:39There I can Artson and Design.

00:04:14or you can turn around and go back the way you came rather not kill you doc give me three good
00:04:22reasons why you shouldn't kill me if you can't i'll give you three more steps each step you take is one
00:04:29less reason that's one that's two
00:04:43if either of you reaches for a gun i'll blast you both keep out of this wyatt this is between doc and
00:04:54me no it ain't i'm not going to watch my two best friends kill each other even if i have to kill
00:05:00them myself you're an officer of the law you're covering for a killer i'm covering for the both
00:05:06of you besides i can't afford to take a chance i need you bat i wouldn't know why but for your
00:05:12sake why i can postpone killing him a little longer half the pleasure is anticipation
00:05:20whenever you're ready masterson you can find me in the salamander saloon i'll be there
00:05:26i just want to get one thing straight why i'm sorry to horn in on your party bat but i had a good
00:05:32reason well it better be i just can't understand how you can put up with him he saved my life
00:05:43oh i know that i don't expect you to understand it and i can't explain it because nobody can explain doc
00:05:49holiday he's not so hard to figure he's a dying man so he hates the world because he'll go on living
00:05:54after he's gone and tell me why he threw in with me against a mob of gunslingers when i didn't have a
00:05:59chance of outletting him you'd rather give arjun a gunfight than play safe and die slow all i know
00:06:06is when he opened up on my side i didn't care why but i guess that's between doc and me look
00:06:13white i'm not going to ease up on him not as long as he stays in dodge city even for you i wouldn't expect
00:06:19you two and i guess you know bat doc should kill you the next man i'd have to kill will be me
00:06:34what do you want me to do bring in a man who's wanted for murder who is he amos merrick
00:06:40marrick the peacemaker that's what they call him but he's a man who saves lives if it wasn't for him
00:06:47they'd never be able to sign that peace treaty with the indians i know but the soldiers at fort
00:06:52dodge say he killed colonel daily what does marrick say that's the worst part of it nothing
00:06:58his indian friends think they're protecting him yellow hawk would start a war if the soldiers
00:07:02went after him but you're a friend of yellow hawk's and you're the only one that can bring marrick back to
00:07:07dodge i'll get to marrick you get to doc because if he's still in town when i get back you're gonna
00:07:18be one friend less of course it is which one

00:08:11man and must live by those laws yellow hawk this is my village my land and here are only the laws of
00:08:17yellow hawk these are laws that can be trusted you will not take amos merrick this is his will
00:08:24i'd like to hear it from his own lips the yellow hawk speaks for his brother i speak for myself hello mr
00:08:30murrick hello bat yellow hawk many times you've heard me say that it's wrong for me to stay now i
00:08:36must go to my people let them hear the truth from me when lies are loud the truth may not be heard
00:08:41the truth will be heard you have my word for it your words are good but can you speak for other whites
00:08:46who have accused an innocent man he'll have a fair trial if he's innocent he'll go free that i promise
00:08:53you have given your word to keep him safe should your word prove false and he dies for it many whites
00:08:59will die but you will die first
00:09:05you should have stayed in hutchinson with you here alone no school can get along without me
00:09:28thanks dear it does feel better being able to talk to you
00:09:31it seems so hopeless fighting for what i believe is right dad you do believe in what you're fighting
00:09:38for don't you oh of course amy the indians are people just like anyone else they're only savage
00:09:43when we make them that way but now it may mean my life and even if i were to die now it wouldn't
00:09:49end there chief yellowhawk would see to that more bloodshed more enmity less understanding but you
00:09:57you didn't kill this man daily did you oh no amy no i hated him because he made trouble with the
00:10:02indians but i didn't kill him then they can't convict you well i'm sure there's certain people who are
00:10:10going to try very hard do you have a good lawyer as good as can be had in these parts but i'm counting
00:10:16more on men like pat masterson and wyatt erp to see that i get a fair trial they believe in the law amy
00:10:21and that's important that's all we ask for a fair trial i like the way you said we i'll sleep better
00:10:31now dad i'm staying over at the hotel i'll come see you in the morning and please don't worry about
00:10:37anything good night amy good night dad

00:11:26sit down sutton or you'll set out this trial in jail
00:11:36we're here to see that justice gets done legal like
00:11:40justice hanging a man because he's a friend of the indians
00:11:43we ain't hanged anybody yet i know you came a long way to be with your father miss merrick
00:11:49but one more word out of you and i'll have to hold you in contempt to court
00:11:53you couldn't hold me long enough to match the contempt i have for this court
00:12:02court's in session
00:12:05from your knowledge marshall were amos merrick's relations with the deceased colonel
00:12:09daly friendly or unfriendly it's no secret he didn't like daly
00:12:15daly was always stirring up trouble with the indians to make his own army record look good
00:12:20now mr fry as a cattle man and leading citizen of dodge city you knew amos merrick
00:12:26did you ever hear him threaten the life of colonel daly yes he said kansas would be better off without daly
00:12:35thank you mr fry
00:12:40when you made peace with the tribes mr merrick did the terms of that peace include the granting of an
00:12:45indian reserve in the grass country outside of dodge city yes the big cattlemen don't want that pasture
00:12:51land fenced in your name is clay bennett yes sir you were in fort dodge on the night of the murder
00:12:59yes sir tell us what you saw i was standing near this table i saw a man fire a gun through colonel
00:13:06daly's window who was that man him amos merrick that's a lie that'll do it matt yellow hawk said if
00:13:20merrick dies many will die he said you'd be the first then you positively identify the defendant as
00:13:28the man you saw shoot and kill colonel daly yes sir the prosecution rests
00:13:44he's guilty old man marrick's guilty day after tomorrow 12 o'clock noon in hayes city

00:14:28mr masterson
00:14:31sorry ma'am it's been a pretty rough day for you you've come a long way to see dodge city at its worst

00:14:54but he isn't guilty you know he isn't the jury thought so
00:15:00if his indian friends go on the war path because of him a lot of innocent people are going to die

00:16:09it's not for the red man to change that white man's court believed a white man's lies
00:16:13bennett's yes this man was at the river many miles from fort dodge when the white colonel died
00:16:20can you prove that tell him what you saw the man called bennett you saw bennett there at the same
00:16:27time he claims to have seen the killing at fort dodge it is the truth then why didn't you come
00:16:32to the trial and say so would the white man listen to the words of the red man when amos merrick

00:18:42how does he figure into this clay bennett owes doc three thousand dollars lost it in the pharaoh game
00:18:47so well do you think doc holiday is going to let him skip town
00:18:50on him three thousand dollars without knowing where he was going
00:18:58thanks wyatt
00:19:01dad do as they say stay here
00:19:03father
00:19:33The Indian nations kept their word.
00:20:01Kept out of it and waited for Masterson to keep his.
00:20:06Waited and watched and made ready.
00:20:31I was beginning to think you'd forgotten me, Sheriff, or that you didn't want to remember.
00:20:44I'd like to talk to you, Doc.
00:20:47There's nothing to talk about.
00:20:49Wyatt's gone.
00:20:50There's no one here to protect you now.
00:20:53Nor are you.
00:20:55That's too bad.
00:20:57I was having a run of luck.
00:20:59Now I have to spoil it.
00:21:04You want it here, outside?
00:21:06Oh, I'm not going to draw against you, Doc.
00:21:08Not now, anyway.
00:21:10Not even if I reach for my guns back?
00:21:13Well, I try not to.
00:21:15Maybe I couldn't help myself.
00:21:17A thing like that might be pure reflex.
00:21:19You're a doctor?
00:21:21You know about reflexes?
00:21:23Mm-hmm.
00:21:24I know about nerve, too, and I think you've lost yours, Masterson.
00:21:35Every play Drop the Handkerchief, Sheriff?
00:21:38See, I drop it, and then I go for my guns.
00:21:42How are your reflexes now?
00:22:04Why don't you kill me?
00:22:06You'd be doing me a favor.
00:22:08Shit, I want to talk to you, Doc.
00:22:11It must be important for you to pass a chance like that.
00:22:15I'm looking for Clay Bennett.
00:22:19You think I know where he is?
00:22:21With him owing you $3,000, yes.
00:22:24So that's it.
00:22:35Bennett's half owner of 5,000 head of cattle pastured outside of town.
00:22:39That's right.
00:22:40And he put up part of his share of security.
00:22:42Security?
00:22:47See for yourself.
00:22:56You don't care where Bennett's gone?
00:22:58Well, not unless that herd went with him.
00:23:01You're not even curious?
00:23:02Only for one reason.
00:23:04Why are you curious?
00:23:05Maybe Bennett lied at Merrick's trial.
00:23:07Maybe.
00:23:08I wouldn't know why, and I care less.
00:23:10Merrick has enemies.
00:23:12Big enemies.
00:23:13Clay has friends.
00:23:15Big friends.
00:23:16The cattlemen.
00:23:17The cattlemen.
00:23:18Yeah.
00:23:19I know it's a long trail up from Texas.
00:23:21Takes plenty of pounds off the beef.
00:23:23I also know that those boys need that grassland in the spring
00:23:26to fatten up their herds before they're shipping to Abilene in the fall.
00:23:29Still bring $20 a head more that way.
00:23:31So since I got an interest in a big herd, I'll stop Merrick or anyone else giving the land back to the Indians.
00:23:38Bennett's already stopped him.
00:23:40Not with bullets, but with words.
00:23:41I'm curiously unmoved by all this.
00:23:43You'll be moved if the Indians attack.
00:23:53We're all gonna die someday, Masterson.
00:23:55It's only a question of time.
00:23:56I say more power to the cattlemen.
00:23:58The more money those saddle traps make, the more I take away from them the cards.
00:24:04Black ace.
00:24:06My lucky card.
00:24:08I...
00:24:09You're a sick man, Doc.
00:24:11Sick all the way through.
00:24:13Then keep away from me, Masterson, if you don't want to catch something fatal.
00:24:16I don't know where Bennett is.
00:24:17You'd be the last man I'd tell if I did.
00:24:20I'm kinda glad you didn't help me, Doc.
00:24:22I'd hate to owe you a favor.
00:24:28Hold it, Miss Merrick.
00:24:30Aren't you heading the wrong way?
00:24:32I wanted to see what you'd found out from Doc Holliday.
00:24:34They told me you were talking to him.
00:24:38He didn't feel like talking.
00:24:40Then let me talk, Joey.
00:24:41I don't think you'd better, Miss Merrick.
00:24:42I believe I heard my name mentioned.
00:24:46You are Doc Holliday, aren't you?
00:24:47Cannot be of service.
00:24:48Stay out of this, Doc.
00:24:49Really, Sheriff.
00:24:50You're overstepping your authority.
00:24:52And being terribly rude.
00:24:53If this uncouth character is annoying your miss, it'd be my pleasure to remove him.
00:24:57Don't stake too much on my promise, Doc.
00:25:00He's poisoned, Miss Merrick.
00:25:02He's obviously the first gentleman I've met since coming to Dodge City.
00:25:06Thank you, Miss.
00:25:08They let you out, Masterson.
00:25:10Yeah.
00:25:11Yes, I feel out of place in such high society.
00:25:18They say you know something that can help my father.
00:25:20Well, as much as I dislike Masterson, Miss Merrick, I did tell him the truth.
00:25:23However, if I were Clay Bennett and I were married to a beautiful woman, that's where I'd be now.
00:25:28Where?
00:25:29Bennett's wife is a singer at the Red Front Saloon in Polari.
00:25:32She calls herself Dallas Corey.
00:25:34Oh, thank you.
00:25:35Thank you very much.
00:25:53Cute little filly, Doc.
00:25:55You thinking of slapping a brand on her?
00:25:59You have an unfortunate choice of words, Mr. Fry.
00:26:03Might be better you didn't speak of the lady at all.
00:26:06I'm sorry, Doc. I apologize.
00:26:07I didn't understand.
00:26:09No, you wouldn't.
00:26:12Who could understand the scent of lilac in the stench of Dodge City?
00:26:16Well, if you'll forget what I said, Doc, I'd like to talk over a little business proposition with you.
00:26:21My business is gambling.
00:26:23Well, sir, what I have to offer is something of a gamble.
00:26:28You'll have to kill Bat Masterson one of these days.
00:26:31I'm willing to bet I can pick the day.
00:26:34These are my business hours, Mr. Fry.
00:26:37See me in my office.
00:26:44You sure you want these innocent bystanders listening?
00:26:48They're my men.
00:26:51What's it worth to you to see Masterson dead?
00:27:00Raise 50.
00:27:02You have your own gunslingers.
00:27:03If you're so anxious to get rid of Masterson, you know where he is.
00:27:06Go get him.
00:27:08Well, I'm a businessman.
00:27:09I deal in cattle and nothing else.
00:27:11My men aren't killers.
00:27:12And I am?
00:27:15Is that it?
00:27:17Well, there's no one faster with a gun than you and you know it.
00:27:21Except maybe Masterson.
00:27:23Of course, it can't be proved until I kill him.
00:27:26Or vice versa.
00:27:27I have to hate real hard when I shoot a man Fry.
00:27:34Otherwise, I begin to think about things.
00:27:37Maybe about his girl.
00:27:39Or his wife.
00:27:40Or his children.
00:27:41Or maybe about the fellows he owes money to.
00:27:45I find myself, uh, sympathizing.
00:27:49My hand isn't steady.
00:27:51My conscience becomes a devil that rides my shoulders and obscures my aim.
00:27:57And it's most difficult to hate when you're making money.
00:28:01I'm offering you a business proposition, Doc, and all you're giving me is words.
00:28:05Perhaps those words are beyond your comprehension.
00:28:11Raise.
00:28:14Aidy Masterson is one of the few pleasures left to me Fry.
00:28:18I'd like to do it in my time when it pleases me.
00:28:21Not when it happens to please someone else.
00:28:26I see what you're up to now, Doc.
00:28:30Your bargain.
00:28:32Raising the ante.
00:28:47You men have lost enough.
00:28:50Yeah, you're right.
00:28:52Let's all go over to the hotel where we can talk straight.
00:28:55Maybe I can interest you in a little game where nobody loses.
00:28:59But Masterson...
00:29:06It's hardly a good day's work, gentlemen.
00:29:11Your hotel, Mr. Fry.
00:29:12We'd like to vet $5,000. You won't kill Masterson in the next 36 hours.
00:29:33Hmm?
00:29:37If it happens that I do, we lose.
00:29:39The money's yours.
00:29:4136 hours.
00:29:43It's an odd coincidence.
00:29:44That's exactly how long Merrick has to live.
00:29:47Unless Masterson can clear him.
00:29:50Aaron hotel rooms always has a foul smell.
00:29:55Don't bet, gentlemen.
00:29:56I don't kill for profit.
00:29:58But on the other hand, I'd just as soon kill Masterson...
00:30:02for nothing.
00:30:03So that disposes of the ethics.
00:30:05Then what's stopping him?
00:30:07Call it a superstition.
00:30:08Every gambler has one.
00:30:09To me, killing's a jinx.
00:30:11Never fails to break a winning streak.
00:30:13And I'm having one.
00:30:15But win or lose if I kill a man, it's for personal reasons.
00:30:19And personally, I don't like any of you any more than I like Masterson.
00:30:27It didn't work, Charlie.
00:30:29No, it this will.
00:30:30I'm taking some men from each of your outfits for a vigilante committee.
00:30:33We're gonna make sure that Merrick's dead before he gets to Hayes City.
00:30:38Well, you win, Miss Merrick.
00:30:40If Clay Bennett's in Quallery, I'll find him.
00:30:44Something sure must have come over Doc when he saw you.
00:30:46He was very helpful.
00:30:49You worked a miracle, then.
00:30:51Looking at you, of course, I could even understand Doc for the first time.
00:30:55Where is Quallery?
00:30:57On the way to Hayes City.
00:30:59In the right direction, anyway.
00:31:00Take me along.
00:31:01Take me with you.
00:31:03I'm trying to beat the clock, ma'am.
00:31:05But you can't leave me here not knowing.
00:31:07I'm sorry.
00:31:16You know who you could not, Mike.
00:31:19I've done this before and she'll shoot the clock.
00:31:24Oh!
00:31:26You know who was looking for it!
00:31:28In the right direction.
00:31:30What is the Thatcard house?
00:31:32Lucky?
00:31:33Let's go.
00:32:03Hello, Masterson. I can see by your face this is a pleasant surprise.
00:32:14What are you doing here?
00:32:15You knew I had to come.
00:32:16And since you refused to escort the lady, it became my pleasure.
00:32:20By strange coincidence, I just happened to be going the same way.
00:32:23As far as I'm concerned, Doc, you can go to Colary or any other place, but not with me.
00:32:28Can't let you go alone, Sheriff. We had some unfinished business.
00:32:32Quiet.
00:32:43What do they mean?
00:32:44You'll have to ask him, Miss Merrick. He's the big Indian scout.
00:32:49Look, they say a large party of rioters is gathering at Ransom Pass.
00:32:55That's on the trail a coach is taking to Hayes City.
00:32:58May mean an attempt to rescue your father or to lynch him.
00:33:01What can we do?
00:33:03Ransom Pass is this side of Colary. We may be able to get there before the coach does.
00:33:07Then we're coming along, with or without your permission.
00:33:10I've got a surprise for you, Doc. Now I want you to come.
00:33:14You're good with a gun and I can use you.
00:33:16We'll settle our dispute later.
00:33:17Let's go.
00:33:47Physicians.
00:34:17Let's go.
00:34:47Head for the pass.
00:35:04Forward!
00:35:17Help!
00:35:18Forward!
00:35:31Forward!
00:35:33Forward!
00:35:38Forward!
00:35:43Forward!
00:35:47Forward!
00:35:56Forward!
00:36:02Forward!
00:36:12Forward!
00:36:16Dismount! Clear the road!
00:36:46Dismount!
00:37:16Well, shall we join the others?
00:37:46That and Doc Holliday together?
00:38:00Virgil's heard, Doc.
00:38:02I don't know where you came from.
00:38:04Let's find out where they came from first.
00:38:16Mitch Connors, one of the men who wanted to lynch Merrick.
00:38:26Keep your hand pressed there.
00:38:28You did a fine job, Doc.
00:38:30Just patchwork, enough to hold you together till we get to Kolari.
00:38:34You haven't forgotten how to be a doctor, have you?
00:38:38Some things a man doesn't forget, try as he may.
00:38:42Thanks.
00:38:44Stay with him.
00:38:47The road's cleared, Marshal.
00:38:48Better get your prisoner and the coach. We're ready to move.
00:38:51I'll go on ahead.
00:38:52May run into Bennett and Kolari.
00:38:54We'll be passing through a few hours after sundown.
00:38:56Let's hope you found him by then.
00:38:58I'm sticking with the coach as far as Kolari until Virgil's out of danger.
00:39:01No one's out of danger unless trip's over.
00:39:04I'll take the girl with me. Be safer that way.
00:39:07Don't think you're losing me, Sheriff. I'll catch up with you.
00:39:09I want to make sure you don't get yourself killed by someone else.
00:39:31Are you sure, Clay Bennett's here?
00:39:33No, but if we can't find Clay, maybe we can keep Masterson from looking.
00:39:53Why'd you have to come back, Clay? Ain't I had enough trouble with you?
00:39:56The man's got a right to see his wife any time he wants.
00:39:59I thought I was rid of you. I was doing good in this town. I was something.
00:40:03You're my wife.
00:40:04So I'm back to nothing.
00:40:06Well, I won't lie for you. I won't cover up for you.
00:40:09I think you'd better, Mrs. Bennett. Just this once.
00:40:11Help you hang an innocent man?
00:40:13It's him or us.
00:40:14Well, it ain't me. I'll talk to Masterson.
00:40:17You treat her too good, Clay.
00:40:20I'll take care of her and Masterson, too.
00:40:23You didn't take such good care of yourself.
00:40:25Lighting out like a scared jackrabbit from the trial.
00:40:27You act guilty, people get to think.
00:40:29But I ain't guilty, Charlie. Don't forget who is.
00:40:32I forgot it, Clay. You'd better.
00:40:35I didn't mean it like that, Charlie.
00:40:38Always prided myself on being a judge of men.
00:40:41I'd sure take it hard if you disappointed me.
00:40:43Charlie.
00:40:45There's Masterson now. He's got the girl with him.
00:40:48You'll have a chance to talk to Masterson, Mrs. Bennett, right here in this room.
00:41:01And I'm gonna give you a chance to justify my faith in you, Clay.
00:41:05You'll be in that closet.
00:41:07With this.
00:41:09I won't let you down, Charlie.
00:41:11You can't afford to.
00:41:12The boys will be downstairs and outside this building.
00:41:14If Masterson comes out of this room standing up, he won't leave the saloon that way.
00:41:18And neither will you.
00:41:19Or her.
00:41:35Doc was right.
00:41:38The town's full of Bennett's friends.
00:41:40Clay must be in there.
00:41:41What are you gonna do?
00:41:42If he was telling the truth, I'll have no trouble talking to him.
00:41:45This is one time I want trouble.
00:41:48He must have lied.
00:41:50My father's innocent or you wouldn't be risking your life to prove it.
00:41:54Well, let's hope we can.
00:41:57I know how you feel about your father, Amy.
00:42:00It's hard for you to be realistic.
00:42:03Haven't you ever loved anyone that much?
00:42:06Enough to be unrealistic?
00:42:10Yeah, once.
00:42:12Who was she?
00:42:14Dancehall girl.
00:42:16Sweetwater, Texas.
00:42:17There was an army sergeant.
00:42:19The jealous kind.
00:42:22Told me to keep away from her, but I didn't.
00:42:25I broke in one night while we were together.
00:42:28Well, she jumped between us just as he fired.
00:42:32She died.
00:42:35First man I ever killed.
00:42:38I'm sorry.
00:42:39Bat.
00:42:41Is that really a name? Bat?
00:42:45William Barclay Masterson says in the family bible.
00:42:52When I was a kid, we lived by a big cave that was full of bats.
00:42:56I used to go target practicing there.
00:42:58Folks used to say nobody could ever hit a crazy zigzagging bat on the wing.
00:43:02So I, I had to try.
00:43:05Kept trying.
00:43:06Kept trying till I could.
00:43:08Then they called me the boy who shot the bats.
00:43:11Finally shook down to this bat.
00:43:15Not bad.
00:43:22Lock the door and don't let anybody else in.
00:43:24Be careful bat.
00:43:26Masseson's coming out of the hotel and headed this way.
00:43:29Clay, you never get more than one shot at Masterson.
00:43:39Masterson's coming out of the hotel and headed this way.
00:43:44Clay, you never get more than one shot at Masterson.
00:44:09Any idea where I can find Dallas, Corey?
00:44:13She's upstairs. Thanks.
00:44:15You're a long way from home, Sheriff.
00:44:17You too, Charlie.
00:44:19Nice to see so many familiar faces in the crowd.
00:44:21Looks like the Dodge City jail on Saturday night.
00:44:24Well, me and some of the boys are on our way to Hayes City to take in the hanging.
00:44:28When that stagecoach passes through here in a few minutes, Charlie,
00:44:31you'll sort of cool the boys off, won't you?
00:44:33Just in case they get ideas.
00:44:35Oh, they ain't apt to, Pat.
00:44:37Not with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday aboard.
00:44:40Funny you should say that.
00:44:42Doc didn't get aboard or ransom pass.
00:44:45See you around.
00:44:49Find Joe Manning and tell him to meet me in back of the hotel.
00:44:52All right.
00:44:58Come in.
00:45:00Dallas, Corey?
00:45:02Yes?
00:45:03Mrs. Clay Bennett?
00:45:04Don't remind me.
00:45:05My name is Matt Masterson.
00:45:06Is it?
00:45:07Yeah.
00:45:08I'm looking for Clay.
00:45:09Well, you missed him.
00:45:10He was here, but he headed back to Dodge City or someplace.
00:45:13That's too bad.
00:45:14He was in kind of a jam.
00:45:15I, uh, hoped I could help him out of it.
00:45:30Help him?
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:32Well, I guess I'll have to, uh, wait until I get back to Dodge.
00:45:36Thanks.
00:45:37There's a danger under this hat, mister.
00:45:38You're covered.
00:45:39Don't come out all at once.
00:45:40Let's see your hands first.
00:45:43Throw it over here.
00:45:45All right, all the way.
00:45:47He bluffed you.
00:45:48I don't care.
00:45:49I'm glad he did.
00:45:50I'm no killer, Beth.
00:45:51Maybe not.
00:45:52But the way that curtain was shaking, well, I just hate to make a sudden move when a nervous
00:46:01man has a gun on me.
00:46:03Charlie Fry's gun at that.
00:46:04For once in your life, tell the truth.
00:46:06Might be your last chance.
00:46:07It was Fry's idea.
00:46:08Why?
00:46:09I don't care.
00:46:10I don't care.
00:46:11I don't care.
00:46:12I don't care.
00:46:13I don't care.
00:46:14I'm glad he did.
00:46:15I don't care.
00:46:16I'm no killer, Beth.
00:46:17Maybe not.
00:46:18But the way that curtain was shaking, well,
00:46:19I just hate to make a sudden move when a nervous man has a gun on me.
00:46:20He's out to stop Merrick's plan to give land to the Indians.
00:46:23You must have guessed it by now.
00:46:24It was Fry killed daily.
00:46:26Fry's waiting downstairs.
00:46:28Yeah, I know it.
00:46:29He said if Clay didn't get you, him and the boys would.
00:46:33Said he'd kill all of us.
00:46:34You, me, her.
00:46:36He might do it, too.
00:46:38Got plenty of men.
00:46:44Pretty well covered outside, too.
00:46:46You've got to get me out of this bat.
00:46:47He'll kill me.
00:46:49Now, that would be a real loss to the world.
00:46:52I'll do anything you say.
00:46:54There's only one way out of it.
00:46:57What is it?
00:46:58Well, looks like, uh, I'll have to kill you.
00:47:02I'll have to kill you.
00:47:03I'll have to kill you.
00:47:05I'll have to kill you.
00:47:08Oh, thank you.
00:47:09I'll have to kill youитель of that boy, is that guy?
00:47:10Well, yourumental.
00:47:12Hold it.
00:47:30What happened, Brett?
00:47:31I bet he tried to shoot me in the back.
00:47:33He was hiding behind those curtains.
00:47:35The lady saw it.
00:47:36You killed him!
00:47:38It was self-defense.
00:47:39He's still got the gun in his hand.
00:47:41You see it, don't you?
00:47:44Sure.
00:47:45Sure, I see it.
00:47:46Self-defense.
00:47:48How about the rest of you?
00:47:49You see it?
00:47:51Yeah, I see it.
00:47:53Sure, it was self-defense, Brett.
00:47:56Why not clear out of here?
00:47:58Send up the coroner.
00:47:59Taking the body back to Dodge City with me.
00:48:05Too bad for you, Brett.
00:48:07What do you mean?
00:48:08Looks like you killed your own star witness.
00:48:09Now you'll never know if Clay was lying.
00:48:20I'm wasting my talents as a singer.
00:48:22I should have been a dramatic actress.
00:48:23Oh, don't touch him.
00:48:37Oh, don't touch him.
00:48:47Now's our chance.
00:48:48If you're all downstairs, take a look at Merrick.
00:48:52On your feet, Clay.
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:55That man ain't dead.
00:48:57No, but you will be if you don't cooperate.
00:48:59Of course, you're anything at all.
00:49:01Anything to say.
00:49:02All right, Clay.
00:49:02Let's move.
00:49:03Where's Masterson?
00:49:13No need to wait on him, Marshal.
00:49:16Masterson's heading back to Dodge City with Clay Bennett.
00:49:19Then he did find him.
00:49:21But if Bat talked to Bennett, why is he going back?
00:49:24Bat didn't have a chance to talk to him, ma'am.
00:49:26He killed him.
00:49:27He what?
00:49:31Yes, ma'am.
00:49:32Self-defense.
00:49:33Too bad he had to do it.
00:49:35Now nothing can hold up the hanging.
00:49:38Well, I guess Bat did what he had to do.
00:49:41Sorry, Merrick.
00:49:42We'd better get started.
00:49:43We can't go like this.
00:49:46But it has, Amy.
00:49:47Forward, ho!
00:49:59Give me.
00:50:13Mama, darling.
00:50:14You heard what Mastison did?
00:50:19Yes.
00:50:21Why, Doug? Why?
00:50:23Well, when you shoot at something it wants to shoot back,
00:50:27it's generally because you don't have much choice.
00:50:30There must have been another way.
00:50:33Then it was my father's last hope.
00:50:36And Ben killed him.
00:50:38Don't torture yourself.
00:50:40All this, it'll seem like a bad dream someday.
00:50:43But you don't belong in it.
00:50:46There's nothing more you can do now.
00:50:48So you've got to get away, far away.
00:50:53And I'll go with you.
00:50:56If you'll let me.
00:50:59You?
00:51:00I've come this far because you needed me.
00:51:03Now I know that I need you too.
00:51:07No, Doug.
00:51:10No, I'm sorry.
00:51:11I didn't know you felt that way.
00:51:16And even if I felt anything more than gratitude,
00:51:20I couldn't.
00:51:23Of course you couldn't.
00:51:24Why should you tie yourself to a dying man?
00:51:26I was wrong.
00:51:28I don't need anybody. I never have.
00:51:29Doug, please, it isn't that.
00:51:31Then what is it?
00:51:32Masterson.
00:51:33I was wrong.
00:52:01Get up there.
00:52:01Pat, Pat, you're not leaving me alone here.
00:52:06I'm going back for the women.
00:52:07Wouldn't be safe to leave them behind.
00:52:08We'd make better time without them.
00:52:10Get up there and stay put.
00:52:12Keep quiet.
00:52:13I'll get you later.
00:52:31What's Fry want me for?
00:52:39You'll see when you get there, Joe.
00:52:41Every time Fry wants me, it's trouble.
00:52:43Why can't he talk to me regularly?
00:52:46Why him back off the hotel?
00:52:47You're lucky he even talks to you at all
00:52:49after the way you cold-decked him back in Dodge.
00:52:52I'd even say you was lucky you got out of that game with your skin.
00:52:56I've made it up to Mr. Fry.
00:52:58I've done him favors since that time.
00:53:01You'll keep on doing them, Joe.
00:53:03All right.
00:53:05All right, I can say what's on my mind, can't I?
00:53:07Sure.
00:53:08As long as you keep walking towards that hotel at the same time.
00:53:23Fry's not to get me, is he?
00:53:25I haven't done anything.
00:53:28Ask him.
00:53:29Hello, Joe.
00:53:30I'll have Fry.
00:53:36You can go now, Tyler.
00:53:38Joe and I have private business.
00:53:41You aren't mad about something, Mr. Fry?
00:53:43That depends upon the answer you give me.
00:53:46Answer?
00:53:47You've been keeping it in practice, Joe?
00:53:49You know better, Mr. Fry.
00:53:50I haven't dealt a crooked game since Dodge.
00:53:51I haven't dealt a crooked game since Dodge.
00:53:52Perhaps.
00:53:53It's the truth.
00:53:54I swear it.
00:53:55Well, that's too bad.
00:53:57I'd be willing to forget that little game in Dodge and pay you $500 besides.
00:54:00$500?
00:54:03All you've got to do is win from Doc Holliday.
00:54:07Mr. Fry, I am not crazy.
00:54:10No, but you're good, Joe.
00:54:12Joe, the best I've ever seen.
00:54:14I don't think even Holliday can tell how you're dealing.
00:54:17No.
00:54:18No, he'd kill me.
00:54:21My boys will be there to see that he doesn't.
00:54:23You just get Holliday started on a losing streak.
00:54:27I don't think it'd be too much trouble.
00:54:29Doc's got other things on his mind.
00:54:30You sure your boys be around?
00:54:32I guarantee it.
00:54:34I'd get quite a reputation at that.
00:54:38Beating Holliday.
00:54:40Sure, Joe.
00:54:41You'd be a big man.
00:54:43That is, if you haven't lost the old touch.
00:54:46When I'm playing,
00:54:48these don't shake.
00:54:50Good.
00:54:54You get the game started and I'll steer Holliday into it.
00:55:04What'll we drink to now, Doc?
00:55:06Let's not drink to anything.
00:55:07Let's just drink.
00:55:11Looks like I got wrong about you and Masterson.
00:55:13What do you mean?
00:55:14Never thought you could keep from killing him this long.
00:55:17I told you once, mister, I got a superstition.
00:55:18I've been writing a winning streak at cards and I won't quit.
00:55:22If I can help it.
00:55:23You mean if you lost, there'd be nothing to stop you?
00:55:26Not if a man crossed me.
00:55:27Masterson or anyone else.
00:55:30I wonder if my luck has changed.
00:55:41Deal me in.
00:55:43Well, I guess I'll pay my respects to the widow.
00:55:46Wait outside.
00:55:47Come in.
00:55:52Come in.
00:56:01Where's the body?
00:56:02And where are you going?
00:56:04Well, the coroner took the body.
00:56:06Masterson's coming back for me in a few minutes.
00:56:09I aim to see that Clay gets a decent barium.
00:56:11Never thought you'd take it so hard.
00:56:13I hated him.
00:56:15But how would it look if I didn't take it hard?
00:56:17You're a smart girl, Dallas.
00:56:18I like smart girls.
00:56:20But I don't think I'd leave town right now.
00:56:22Not with Masterson.
00:56:22Why not?
00:56:24Pat doesn't give up so easy.
00:56:25You might let something slip.
00:56:27Why take a chance?
00:56:28Stay till after the hanging.
00:56:30I won't talk, Charlie.
00:56:32I know it.
00:56:33If Clay had your nerve, he'd be alive right now.
00:56:37But I'd take it kind of hard if you didn't do as I said.
00:56:48Well, well.
00:56:49Looks like we have a historic landmark.
00:56:51The bullet that Pat Masterson used to shut Clay Bennett's mouth.
00:57:08I think I'll keep this as a souvenir.
00:57:11A lucky bullet for you, Charlie.
00:57:14Went in kind of hard.
00:57:15Must have hit him right between the eyes.
00:57:18Yeah.
00:57:18Yeah, between the eyes.
00:57:20It wasn't pretty.
00:57:21You won't be either, Dallas.
00:57:23If you tried to cross me.
00:57:31Pat, I feel like such a fool.
00:57:33Then think how Fryer's gonna feel.
00:57:34I should have known you wouldn't kill Bennett.
00:57:36Well, he's one dead man who's still got a tale to tell.
00:57:39Wait.
00:57:39Wait here.
00:57:47Keep out of sight.
00:57:49I've got to get Dallas out of there.
00:57:50Aren't you even gonna say hello, Doc?
00:58:03After all we've been to each other, I've had about all I can take of you, Masterson.
00:58:17Now I feel better.
00:58:18Now I feel better.
00:58:19Hope you win.
00:58:20Pray I win.
00:58:23Meaning what?
00:58:24I haven't forgotten our date.
00:58:26Only thing stops me from keeping it now is I can't quit when I'm ahead.
00:58:31When you're ready to cash in, look me up.
00:58:38Save yourself some trouble, Pat.
00:58:40Dallas ain't going back to Dodge City.
00:58:41Changed her mind.
00:58:42That's the lady's privilege, but I'll hear it from her.
00:58:55Doc's throwing money around like it's going out of style.
00:58:57Yeah.
00:58:58He can't keep winning that way.
00:59:00Maybe he don't want to win.
00:59:12Gage, you and Sutton and five of the best gun hands stay with me.
00:59:16Tyler, you take the rest of the men and go on ahead.
00:59:18I want to make sure Masterson really does go back to Dodge City just in case things go wrong in that card game.
00:59:39Nice night for a funeral.
00:59:40Yeah.
00:59:40Oh, it's you, Mr. Fry.
00:59:44Yes, it is.
00:59:44Nice night.
00:59:46Poor old Clay.
00:59:47Where'd Masterson hit him?
00:59:50Where'd he hit him, you say?
00:59:52Right in the heart.
00:59:53Killed him instant.
00:59:54I guess Masterson's even better with a gun than they say.
00:59:57Imagine hitting a man in the heart and between the eyes with the same bullet.
01:00:01Now, what do you mean by that?
01:00:03I mean, I think I ought to have a look in that coffin, mister.
01:00:06Oh, no, sir.
01:00:07That's against the law.
01:00:08You can't do that.
01:00:09Come on, mister.
01:00:10Climb down.
01:00:11But who'll hold the horses?
01:00:14Come on.
01:00:14Quit stalling.
01:00:15All right, sir.
01:00:16If you want me to come down, you've got to help me.
01:00:19Yes, sir.
01:00:20Just back up a step, because I...
01:00:22Come on, mister.
01:00:23I'm coming.
01:00:24Yes, sir.
01:00:27What can I do, Bat?
01:00:34Nothing now.
01:00:36You'll just have to play along with Fry.
01:00:39I'll pick you up later.
01:00:40Come on, M.
01:00:47Come on, M.
01:00:53I'm the queen.
01:00:58Federer.
01:00:59Good lie.
01:01:00Get mom.
01:01:02Here we go.
01:01:03Here we go.
01:01:05Let's go.
01:01:22Bad.
01:01:23Where's the hearse?
01:01:24Bad, I saw them, for I knows you tricked him.
01:01:26When you go to the livery stable to get your horse, he'll be waiting for you.
01:01:29That's where I've got Bennett. I'd better get over there.
01:01:31Bad, he has six men with him. He'll kill you. You've got to get someone to help you.
01:01:35How? There's nobody in this town I can trust.
01:02:01You lose, dog.
01:02:05This is everything I've got left in the world, except my guns, horse and saddle.
01:02:07This is everything I've got left in the world, except my guns, horse and saddle.
01:02:12High card wins.
01:02:13Sorry, Doc.
01:02:14Sorry, Doc.
01:02:15This is everything I've got left in the world, except my gun.
01:02:16My gun is a horse and saddle.
01:02:17This is everything I'll get right into.
01:02:18This is everything I'm trying to get.
01:02:19This is everything I've got left in the world.
01:02:21High card wins.
01:02:39Sorry, Doc.
01:02:44You coming back, Doc?
01:02:47I'm not sure.
01:02:51Doc!
01:02:53Doc!
01:02:54Doc, Fry and Six Men are waiting at the livery stable to kill Bat.
01:03:04He's all alone, Doc.
01:03:06You gotta go after him.
01:03:08That's what I had in mind, anyway.
01:03:11Don't mind, anyway.
01:03:41Don't worry.
01:03:43Tastes after the retreat.
01:03:46You have to.
01:03:47Get out of here.
01:03:49You have to get out of here.
01:03:51You have to get out of here.
01:03:53You have to get out of here.
01:03:55You are right.
01:03:56You are right.
01:03:57You've got to get out of here.
01:04:00David.
01:04:01I'll go.
01:04:02Let's go.
01:04:32Now I know what Wyatt meant.
01:04:56Thanks, Doc.
01:04:57Oh, don't thank me.
01:04:58After all, how would it look if I needed half the town to help me kill Batman?
01:05:02I had my reputation to consider.
01:05:05That's not the real reason, Doc.
01:05:08No.
01:05:09I had very little to offer the girl.
01:05:11A couple years at the most.
01:05:13So I thought I'd leave her something to remember me by.
01:05:16You.
01:05:18Well, thanks.
01:05:19Thanks.
01:05:20Thanks.
01:05:21Thanks.
01:05:22Thanks.
01:05:23Thanks.
01:05:24Thanks.
01:05:25Thanks.
01:05:26Thanks.
01:05:27Thanks.
01:05:27Thanks.
01:05:28Thanks.
01:05:29Let's go.
01:05:59Well, Marshal, we made it.
01:06:06Guess I'll be heading back to the post.
01:06:08Thanks, Lieutenant.
01:06:29How are you, Charlie?
01:06:34You're in plenty of time for the hanging.
01:06:36It'll be 30 minutes yet.
01:06:37If we wait that long, there won't be Merrick who will hang.
01:06:40Why?
01:06:41Bennett talked. Masterson's on his way.
01:06:44It wouldn't be much of a trick to get this crowd to take over.
01:06:48Tell the others.
01:06:49You men help me get this crowd started.
01:06:59Get Merrick out of jail and hanging before Masterson gets here.
01:07:03You men talk it up when I get started.
01:07:05What are we waiting for, men?
01:07:10Let's lynch him.
01:07:11Yeah, let's lynch him.
01:07:12String him up.
01:07:13Come on, folks.
01:07:13Come on down here.
01:07:15Come on.
01:07:15What are we waiting for?
01:07:17All right, all of you.
01:07:19Come on up here.
01:07:20What are you waiting for?
01:07:21Let's bring him out of jail now and string him up.
01:07:23Why should we wait another half hour?
01:07:26What do you say?
01:07:26What's Merrick ever meant to you?
01:07:30Let's go!
01:07:31Let's go!
01:07:51First man who tries to take Merrick out of here won't live to see him hang.
01:07:54Come on, let's get it over with.
01:07:57Yeah!
01:08:24Let's go!
01:08:51Try and get these horses out of here.
01:08:52Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
01:08:55Bad! Bad! I'm going to him!
01:08:57No, you're not. You're going in there and you're staying in there.
01:09:04Hey! Put it around! Put it around!
01:09:22Let's go!
01:09:52Let's go!
01:10:11We're starting back now. Are you ready?
01:10:14Yeah. Where's Doc?
01:10:15He isn't coming. He said to tell you he's gone off looking for a card game.
01:10:19Says he feels lucky again.
01:10:23We wanted to thank him.
01:10:24Well, we can thank him later, Amy.
01:10:26Better not. Doc says he can't afford to have you for a friend, Bat.
01:10:30Says you've cost him a fortune already.
01:10:46When Merrick returned, peace returned with him to the tribes of Kansas.
01:10:52Doc Holliday drifted with his luck until it ran out.
01:10:56Bat Masterson laid down his guns and rode east to become a famous newspaper man.
01:11:03But out west, they'll always remember him as Masterson of Kansas.
