01:00No, no! Hold on, hold on!
01:09What? Don't kill me! Don't kill me!
01:11Don't kill me!
01:12No, that'll work!
01:35Morg!
01:41Morg!
01:59That was it.
02:02The whole thing only lasted about 30 seconds.
02:06But it would become the most famous gunfight in Wild West history.
02:11And it would change everything for Wyatt Earp and America.
02:38Somebody get a doctor!
02:42I need a doctor!
02:44I need a doctor!
03:10Three cowboys were dead.
03:14Brothers Tom and Frank McClory.
03:18And Ike Clanton's younger brother, Billy.
03:35Billy!
03:37Billy!
03:39Billy!
03:40Billy!
03:56Billy!
03:58Billy!
03:59Billy!
04:01Billy!
04:05Billy!
04:06Billy!
04:06Billy!
04:09Billy!
04:09you've got Virgil Earp wounded through the leg Morgan seriously wounded he's in
04:16horrible pain Holliday's been skimmed by a bullet and I mean you wouldn't think
04:22it was that painful but it really hurts in 1881 if you needed surgery dying
04:31might actually sound like a better option it was brutal and barbaric and
04:38your chances of surviving a bullet wound were pretty much zero but often it
04:47wasn't a bullet that killed you it was infection you see while the surgeons
04:54were poking around looking for the bullet they were spreading germs from their
04:58dirty hands the only way you had a chance of surviving is if you got shot in the
05:03arm of the leg because then the surgeon could just saw it off now call it fate or
05:16divine intervention but it just so happened that one of the smartest doctors in the
05:21country was treating Morgan and Virgil you're gonna be just fine Dr. George
05:29Goodfellow was a surgical pioneer and one of the first to realize that washing
05:34your hands before surgery prevented infection so who knows how many lives he
05:40saved just by that act alone
05:50while Wyatt was left wondering if his brothers were going to survive most of the townspeople
05:56wanted to congratulate him in the immediate aftermath of the shootout the Earps are
06:04initially hailed as representatives of law and order sure they killed a few people but they
06:10were in the right when they did so
06:19but Ike had fallen from grace
06:26the once mighty mob boss was now the town's pariah
06:32he'd started a gunfight and lost he'd been completely humiliated
06:41he'd been completely humiliated
06:41Ike clanton was enraged for many many reasons long-standing hatred of the Earps the fact that
06:48he'd been humiliated and had to flee from the battle and the fact that his brother had been killed
06:56he was just consumed with a desire for vengeance
07:12now Ike probably thought his days as the mob boss were over
07:20but to hell with what people thought he wasn't going anywhere
07:37and this is where Ike did something totally unexpected
07:45the three characters of the Faizawa
07:52the one who had a good looking for
08:07the group of the female
08:09the three characters who had a good
08:12Cowboys were placed in open-top coffins with a big sign that said,
08:18Murdered on the Streets of Tombstone.
08:21This is sheer propaganda.
08:23They were in their Sunday best, looking so clean-cut, all-American.
08:28This is a real effort to win over public sentiment to the cowboy element and away from the herbs.
08:36And it worked.
09:09The thing is,
09:11Ike was just getting started.
09:18Three innocent young men,
09:21in their prime were gunned down in cold blood
09:24by the very men that are supposed to protect this town.
09:30Ike wanted to tell his version of events to as many people as possible, so he used the press.
09:36White Earp and his brothers, Morgan and Virgil. You may call them lawmen. I call them murderers.
09:46Ike didn't just take control of the narrative. He completely hijacked it. And it's hard to believe, but in the
09:53course of about 24 hours, opinions started to shift from the Earps as heroes to murderers and the Cowboys as
10:03the innocent victims.
10:05And that's when the story really blew up.
10:15And that's when the story really blew up.
10:34The history is booming. And there's a vast newspaper network all across the country. And they're all competing for the
10:42most sensational version of a story.
10:45And American newspaper readers wanted salacious stories. They wanted corruption, murder, scandal, infidelity, and in this case, gunfights, because that's
10:55what sold newspapers.
10:58The story about the gunfight at the OK Corral couldn't have happened at a worse time, because it landed just
11:06after another violent crime, one that happened back east in Washington.
11:12In 1881, America had a new president, James Garfield. He was young, dynamic, and popular. He was the JFK of
11:22his time.
11:25Unfortunately, in more ways than one.
11:31While waiting to board a train, he was gunned down by an assassin.
11:38There is virtually no layer of protection for the president. It's nothing like the protections that presidents have in the
11:43modern era.
11:44And that allows for Garfield's assassin to walk right up to him on that train platform and shoot him.
11:52The nation was horrified. Memories of Lincoln's assassination, which happened only 16 years earlier, came flooding back.
12:00The whole country went into mourning. Even the White House was draped in black.
12:06The death of a president was big news around the world.
12:09And then, soon after, the story of the gunfight at the OK Corral hit.
12:14So you can imagine, people were wondering, what the hell was going on in America?
12:20And news traveled fast.
12:22It only took a day to reach England, because of the transatlantic telegraph cable constructed a few years earlier,
12:30running under the Atlantic Ocean.
12:39And do you know who this was a big problem for?
12:43J.P. Morgan.
12:45You see, the news arrived in England just as he was about to close one of the biggest deals any
12:50American had ever attempted.
12:52He'd spent weeks in London trying to secure an investment to help him take over the railroads in America.
13:00And one of those investors was Lord Rothschild.
13:05The Northern Pacific have accepted my offer. It's only a matter of time before the Eyrie falls.
13:13Is something wrong?
13:15I've spoken with our investors. The feeling is now's not a good time.
13:20A president assassinated. And now I'm hearing stories about Lormut murdering innocent people.
13:27It's rather disconcerting, wouldn't you say?
13:44Whenever there's a crisis, like the assassination of a president, foreign investors take a moment and they wonder,
13:50OK, is this a good idea? Is this a good investment? Is my money going to be safe if I
13:57place it in an American railroad?
14:01There was no way J.P. Morgan was going to lose this deal.
14:05If Rothschild thought America was a disaster, then Morgan was going to sort it out.
14:12Telegraph this to Washington.
14:13Yes, sir.
14:24After Garfield died, the vice president became president. His name? Chester Arthur. The only reason people have heard of him
14:34is that he's known as one of the worst presidents in history.
14:37No one thought he was anything other than a decent guy. He liked good meals, the company of other gentlemen.
14:45He dressed quite well. He was a bit of a dandy. But politically, he was seen as a nothing.
15:00He sent a telegraph to the governor of Arizona, concerned about reports of a gunfight in Tombstone. Investigate immediately and
15:17report forthwith.
15:32The president's telegram basically said, sort this out. The governor of Arizona's response was to send a telegram basically saying
15:45the same thing.
15:49To the sheriff of Tombstone.
15:56Shit.
15:58Johnny Behan was the sheriff, and he was the top lawman in Tombstone.
16:06It was a well-paid job, and he didn't have to do much police work.
16:16He left that to the marshal, and the deputy marshals, who all reported to him. And that was Virgil, Morgan,
16:25and Wyatt Earp.
16:27What's important to understand about Sheriff Behan is that he was a politician.
16:33The sheriff was an elected position, so he had to stay on good terms with the locals, including, and maybe
16:40especially, the cowboys.
16:50How much, Johnny?
16:51You see, Ike had a lot of influence in the town.
16:55When Ike said, vote for someone, they voted.
16:58And in return, Behan turned a blind eye to Ike's criminal activities.
17:12But that cozy relationship was now threatened.
17:23Because the governor had asked Behan to do a full investigation of the gunfight.
17:35Maybe he should just arrest Ike for causing the gunfight.
17:40But you don't just arrest the mob boss, not with an election coming up.
17:48No, he talked to him.
17:50Maybe he could get everyone to agree it was all just a big misunderstanding.
17:57An accident.
18:00Nobody's fault.
18:27Whiskey?
18:28Nope.
18:29I have to write a report.
18:32Of the governor breathing down my neck about a gunfight.
18:35A gunfight that you started, huh?
18:38Ike.
18:38Ike.
18:44Well, that's not what happened.
18:48No.
18:50Well, why don't you go ahead and tell me what happened?
18:55Shh.
19:13We were just about to leave town.
19:22I heard Wyatt Earp screaming my name.
19:24Hey, Clarton!
19:26Where are you?
19:27What do they want?
19:28I don't know.
19:28Put your gun down.
19:29We don't want no trouble.
19:31They wanted to kill all of us.
19:35You sons of bitches.
19:37Don't shoot.
19:39Let them have it.
19:51I managed to escape.
19:53For God's sake!
19:57Run, rabbit, run.
20:08Poor Billy never stood a chance.
20:14Wyatt, please don't shoot me!
20:16I'm unarmed!
20:27Please!
20:29Please don't!
20:44Billy!
20:46Billy!
20:54They murdered him.
20:56Did you see?
20:57They shot him like a dog.
21:06All right.
21:09Well, if that's it, I guess I'll go talk to the others.
21:14You gonna speak with the Earps?
21:16I wouldn't be much of a sheriff if I didn't do that.
21:23So, Ike was basically saying that the Earps were shooting down in cold blood these men who were surrendering.
21:29That's not what happened, but it was again, you know, Ike's way of twisting the story to make his brother
21:35and their associates look innocent.
21:40Behan knew Ike's story was bullshit, and usually that didn't matter.
21:44Whatever Ike said was good enough.
21:48But with the governor involved, Behan had no choice but to speak to his marshal, Virgil Earp, who, along with
21:56Morgan Earp, had barely survived the gunfight.
22:04Take it easy.
22:06And if you feel up for it, you can go ahead and tell him what happened.
22:13Oh, we don't want that.
22:21We went in there and we just saw them.
22:24We weren't expecting them to fire.
22:30When we approached them near the O.K. Corral, they already had their guns raised.
22:36Billy Clanton fired first.
22:43We fired back in self-defense.
22:52Now, understandably, Virgil could only remember certain things.
22:56So it's probably best if you learned what really happened at the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
23:07Most historians believe Billy went for his gun first and fired at Wyatt, just missing him.
23:13At the same time, Wyatt fired his gun, not at Billy Clanton, but Frank McClory.
23:23Because he thought he was the most dangerous gunman of the bunch.
23:32Two of Ike's cowboys saw Frank get hit and ran like hell.
23:38That left four against four.
23:41The gunfire came in bursts.
23:45Frank returned to the fight and his brother Tom tried to take cover behind a horse.
23:52Doc stalked him and then blasted him with a shotgun.
24:01He didn't last long after that.
24:06The strangest thing happened in the middle of the gunfight.
24:10Ike hadn't even pulled out a gun.
24:13He was frozen with fear.
24:16And in a panic, he ran towards Wyatt.
24:25Wyatt saw he had no gun in his hand and pushed him away.
24:30Ike ran into Fly's boarding house.
24:33As the gunfight continued,
24:35Morgan fired at Billy and got him in the right arm.
24:40He switched his gun to his left hand.
24:42Meanwhile, even though he was wounded, Frank McClory continued to fire
24:47and hit Virgil in the calf.
24:50Billy Clanton then hits Morgan in the shoulder.
24:54Frank fires at Doc, grazing him on the hip.
24:59Doc shoots Frank McClory in the chest.
25:05Morgan shoots and hits Frank in the head.
25:08At some point, Billy's hit in the chest.
25:11The bullet most likely coming from Morgan.
25:25He did the right thing.
25:28Howard does that.
25:31Thanks, Sheriff.
25:33Alright.
25:34You rest up.
25:38You tough son of a bitch.
25:51You touch the tunnel here in the sitting ceiling.
25:53Try the other one, move'n!
26:02Bill 120 Pang!
26:03Go ahead!
26:04Them 75.
26:11Hello to chiya!
26:13See him.
26:18Ike's plan to expose Wyatt Earp as a murderer had just unraveled.
26:26He was screwed, and he had to find another way.
26:38And this is where the story takes a massive turn.
26:43But to understand why, you have to know more about Sheriff Behan.
26:50You see, he was living with a beautiful actress, Josephine Marcus.
26:59Josephine was smart and talented, and way out of Behan's league.
27:05Behan had promised her a life of adventure, and had promised to marry her.
27:09But she waited, and waited, and neither happened.
27:18And the relationship quickly soured.
27:33She looked at it.
27:59Where are you going?
28:12Johnny Behan is cheating on Josephine almost from the beginning.
28:18He had a girl in every brothel in Tombstone.
28:35But Josephine had a secret of her own, and it was only a matter of time before that secret
28:46got out.
29:11And it was only a matter of time, and it was only a matter of time.
29:33How long do you have?
29:36An hour.
30:00Oh, my sweet Jesus.
30:10Help yourself.
30:21Now, there was always speculation about how this whole thing went down.
30:26Don't shoot the message.
30:29But one thing was for sure.
30:33I won't take care of it.
30:35Wyatt was having an affair with Josephine.
30:42This had all fallen into Ike's lap.
30:46Now, he just had to watch the whole thing play out.
31:05So, of all the women in all of Tombstone, Wyatt's got to steal the sheriff's girlfriend.
31:12And so, you have all the makings of a disaster.
31:39And so, I'll take care of it.
32:06Don't.
32:13Neither Behan, Wyatt, or Josephine
32:16ever talked about the moment when Behan confronted them.
32:20So we don't know exactly what happened.
32:23But you have to imagine Behan must have been so filled with rage
32:27that he desperately wanted to shoot Wyatt.
32:32But he did something much smarter.
32:34Wyatt Earp,
32:36I'm arresting you for the murder of Billy Clanton,
32:39Bray McClory, and Tom McClory.
32:46You know, put your clothes on.
32:48The story that we never tell of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral
32:52is that this was a love triangle,
32:55a tale of jealousy and rage fought over a beautiful young woman.
33:02Wyatt Earp had stolen Johnny Behan's girl.
33:16So Behan makes a big show of it.
33:19Marching him down into town,
33:22making sure everybody witnesses this.
33:25There must be a personal factor here, right?
33:29Wyatt stole his girlfriend.
33:36You will never see her again.
33:40But also, he is signaling to the cowboys
33:43that I'm on your side against Wyatt Earp.
33:48Mike Clanton had gotten his revenge.
33:51And now Behan was charging Wyatt,
33:54his brothers, and Doc
33:56with murder
33:58at the O.K. Corral.
34:25This isn't good.
34:28No shit.
34:30No shit.
34:47No shit.
35:12Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
35:20Oh, oh, oh, oh
36:18you
36:27you
36:50you
